Looking Back 1987 fahoga Falls High School )0 Fourth Street rahoga Falls, Ohio 21 6) 929-0581 ume 43 % j aUJ8b2 7 In 1987 Cuyahoga Falls celebrates the 175th anniversary of its founding. The city, which has expanded to a population of over 50,000, began as a small settlement on the banks of the Cuyahoga River. The region, called Cop- pacaw by the Indians, was named Manchester by the pioneers in 1812, and finally, incorporated into the city of Cuyahoga Falls in 1922. This anniversary provides a two-fold opportunity — the chance to find a new perspective in the present by taking a backward glance at the past — in both the high school and community. If the eyes begin to blur somewhat — relax. It is only a medical condition called .... DOUBLE VISION . ABOVE AND LEFT: The two different city halls show changes in the structure and location as well as the surroundings From Hamlet To City Looking into the past, perhaps at 1812, Cuyahoga Falls was just a tiny hamlet on the banks of the Cuyahoga River. The horses and buggies still ex- isted then . . . the old mills . . . the cor- ner hardware store . . . The scene has now changed, it’s 1987. Cuyahoga Falls is an industrializ- ed city with over 50,000 inhabitants. Camaros and Corvettes are in the pic- ture ... corporations such as Lawson’s and Gojo Industries . . . the new shopp- ing plaza . . . LEFT: By 1837, the town had two small paper mills, a flour mill, two sawmills, a woolen mill, a chair factory and other such industries. One of the remnants of the industrial past still stands along the shore of the river. The turbine is still inside the mill. ABOVE and ABOVE LEFT: These pictures illustrate the boom of industry along the Cuyahoga. This is the section of the river south of Broad Street. The covered bridge can be seen .near the top of the pic- ture, spanning the river. One of the prosperous industries located in this area was the Loomis Wire Mill. During the Centennial of 1912, a celebration was held in front of the mill. Bleachers had been erected to hold school children who were seated on the bleachers representing the stars and strips of our flag. Patriotic songs were sung and speeches given when suddenly there was a crash and the bleachers collapsed. There was a mad scramble to recover the children; some were hurt in this community disaster. 2 Opening But the past still lives in Cuyahoga Falls today. The old mills still stand, the schools and roads are named after our city’s founders, and the building where the L.W. Loomis Hardware store prospered for so many years still stands, now as the Akron Music Center. In this one sees that the city’s past can be found in its present, and looking at the buildings is really looking back. So to be seeing buildings from the old mill race among the trees along the river is not crazy; it’s only the acquisition of . . . DOUBLE VISION. TOP: The Big falls al high water. ABOVE LEFT: This Loomis building was located on the northeast comer of Por- tage Trail and Front Street opposite what was then the Perry House. Many businessmen had offices in this building. Mr. l.oomis owned and operated the Peddlers Ex- change for many years, and he had interests in other businesses also. The property at High Glens was developed by Loomis and Parks. ABOVE: The present Gorge Dam; the largest in Cuyahoga Falls. LEFT: This is the dam above Bailey Road bridge. During the War of 1812. the dam was believed to have been built and tradition says that lumber sawed al this mill was used at Old Portage in building ships for Commodore Perry. At that time the land for miles around was covered with great forests. Opening 3 TOP :The flood of 1913 proved lhal ihe Cuyahoga River may not always be a blessing by doing several thousand dollars of damage to Cuyahoga Falls and surrounding cities. ABOVE and LEFT Once most tranquil, Gaylord Grove had a Civil War camp located on the east bank at Gaylord Grove and Bailey Road. It was the camp of the 8th Regiment and 6th Battery. O.N.G.- with Col. D.W. Thomas in command. Since the early 1880’s this area has developed into what is now the River Estates. Some residents have boat docks that arc no doubt in the same places as those of the Civil War. OPPOSITE PAGE TOP: According to legend, Mary Campbell, the first white child born in the Western Reserve, was kidnapped by Indians in a raid. For seven years, she was supposed to have lived in this cave. Through an ex- pedition, she and other prisoners were found and taken back to their families' settlements in Pennsylvania. The Campbells, searching for their daughter, were about to give up when Mary recognized a lullaby her mother was humming. The cave that once sheltered her is rightly named Mary Campbell’s Cave. OPPOSITE BOTTOM: The Falls, here calm with the river at a low level, sometimes become crashing and thundering white water and an amazing sight. 4 Falls’ Geography The Mill Race Imagine a car approaching the city boundary line where a sign states “Welcome to Coppacaw Falls.” The driver would not have made a wrong turn in his search for Cuyahoga Falls. Actually, “Coppacaw” was merely one of the words the area’s earliest ancestors — the Indians — called the river lands. Other names were “Cajahoga,” “Cayohoga,” and “Diahaga.” Translated, they meant everything from “The Beautiful” to “Crooked” to “Place of the Jawbone.” No matter what name it was called, the land on the banks of the Cuyahoga River was always desirable. The Indians enjoyed hunting the wildlife of the valley, while the river provided transportation access to most of Northeastern Ohio. In the city’s early years, the river pro- vided power for local mills and factories. Industrial sprawl hung from both sides of the river’s banks. This central area of river development was even nicknamed “the Mill Race.” As hard times hit in the 1930’s, many of these abandoned buildings were raised as commercial growth moved inward. Today, the geographical advantages remain. While the river continues to pro- vide scenic beauty, electrical power, and rich soil, a newer dimension has been added. The city’s proximity to the urban centers of Akron, Cleveland, and Youngstown provides the opportunity for continued growth. Falls’ Geography 5 RIGHT: The falLs itself is chiefly responsible for the development of the city. The fast growth of industry, powered by mills along the river, drew many settlers. BELOW: Henry Welmore, a friend of Newberry’s, was also responsible for the city’s early industry and settlement. Yet, he is remembered more for his development of the neighboring community of Stow. l 7T: RIGHT: Henry Newberry, one of the industrial founders of Cuyahoga Falls was the son of land com- pany investor, Roger Newberry. He saw that the power the falls provided was pul to use and is also remembered by an elementary school bearing his name. FAR RIGHT: Once called the (Percy) “Shelly of Cuyahoga Falls,” the poet , F.lisha Sill, is remembered by both a middle school and a street that bear his name, and at one time students were required to memorize one of his more popular works 6 Founders Historic Homes 7 This Old House Most of the historical houses of Cuyahoga Falls were owned or closely related with the foundations of the city. The founders, wealthy from in- vesting in the Cuyahoga Valley, were able to purchase expensive houses and furnish them with luxurious accessories. The Sill and Newberry mansion highlighted the best of life in their times. Charles Boyd, a historian of Cuyahoga Falls, has been able to restore and collect countless numbers of furnishings, lamps, and accessories from the early homes. The Boyd home remains one of the historical landmarks of the area because it is the oldest existing home in the city’s boundaries. BELOW: The Boyd home, on the corner of Third and Stow Streets was built in 1847 for only S275. Here. Charles Boyd has collected documents, antiques, and pictures which are now pieces of Cuyahoga Falls history. Many remnants of the Sill mansion, including the gold-laced ceiling are displayed with pride. LEFT: The Clifford Inn, once known as “The Raleigh” and also “Perry House,” was the first hotel every built in Cuyahoga Falls. The resort was a much needed resting place for the weary travelers on their journeys bet- ween Cleveland. Akron, and Youngstown. BELOW LEFT: One of Elisha Sills’ major contributions to the history and culture of Cuyahoga Falls is the Sill mansion. The furniture, ap- pliances, and even the clothing and gold-laced ceiling are now valuable col- lector’s items. Unfortunately none of these homes remains except for the Boyd house. The Newberry house (RIGHT) and Wetmore house (ABOVE RIGHT) built in 1860 and 1835 respectively, as well as the Sill mansion are a few of the city’s more famous houses. Unfortunatlcy none of these sites were preserved. ABOVE: The river front with its new mall and condominums is in direct contrast to the earlier industrial banks of the river. RIGHT: A favorite spot in the summer is Water Works Park. In addition to its park and picnic areas, there is an Olympic sized pool, 32-foot water slide, and sports facilities which provide recreation. Go WestI After Henry Wetmore settled the Cuyahoga Valley, word filtered back to Connecticut that the Cuyahoga valley’s soil and climate made it a favorable place to live and work. The eastern United States, which was experiencing a cold summer in 1816, had suffered the loss of many crops and livestock. Connecticut farmers suffered heavily. The move to the banks of the Cuyahoga River offered the migrants hope for a better way of life. After the corporation in 1836, the development of industry along the river banks was chiefly responsible for the continued progression from a small village to an urban municipality. The ci- ty was then chartered in 1922. 8 The City I ABOVE: To encourage business, each I owner pul down a sidewalk of his own and the rail was put up in order to lie the PV horses. This picture may remind us of the WW old west, but remember, this was the old west. TOP RIGHT: The old stone from the original cily hall rests in the memorial park on Broad Blvd. RIGHT: Taylor Library is the second largest library in Summit County; it is located on the comer of Third and Broad. The original library was once just a small brick building. The City 9 Historical Building Blocks Until the post Civil War years, the “Lyceum,” located in the church park commons served the community as a high school. The Lyceum organization was headed by William H. Taylor, who later established a free public library. The pre- sent Taylor Memorial library is a tribute to him and his wife. In 1869, construction began on East School at 2075 Germain Avenue and was completed in 1871. East served grades 1-12 until 1922 when plans were formulated to expand the high school because its space was inadequate shortly after it was opened. The addition which completed the present “old building” opened in 1927. The completion of this building was a big event as shown in the article from The Akron Sunday Times of 6 May 1928 when it described an “Educational Exposition which is the greatest display of its kind ever attempted in the city.” This expostition provided the public with an opportunity to “visit all the parts of the new high school building and see every phase of the school work as it actually is carried out.” Enter- tainment such as choirs, the orchestra, and “physical training skill demonstrations” sparked the three day affair. The closing of East School in 1938, due to structural problems, overburdened Broad, Crawford, Grant, and Lincoln elementary schools. Construction at that time was impossible because as one Cuyahoga Falls School’s report stated, “A 45% reduction in the tax duplicate during the depression hampered the issuing of bonds for new construction.” Then WWT brought about a shortage of building materials and the post war inflation also was a factor in the shortage of funds. It was also in 1949 that the high school expanded again. This time an industrial arts annex was added so that the metal shop and the two wood shops could have adequate equipment and space while at the same time providing additional classrooms in the building. The 500 feet of the frontage where the high school set back from Fourth Street, served as the site for the next addition opened in 1960. This 3.1 million dollar wing contained 181,269 square feet. Its primary function was to provide the science and music departments with needed area as well as to give the School District Ad- ministrative Staff 23 offices. The last of the wings to be added reflected a change in the country’s educa- tional philosophy. In 1968,the vocational wing opened and offered training in cosmotology, practical nursing, auto ' mechanics, machine trades and drafting. The Vocational Education Act passed by Congress provided funding for such additions. The old building or original building was newly dubbed the “renovated” building after a massive facelift was completed in 1977. It was started during the school year in May, 1977. This was very inconvenient because the third floor couldn’t be used. In fact, all of the English classes had to be moved to other parts of the building, such as the wrestling and gymnastics room. There was also a class in the Board of Education Building and four classes oc- cupied the auditorium. Although the times may have been chaotic throughout the high school’s ex- istence, the building has withstood all of the changes. This view of the original building is from the present between the vocational wing and the original building, day Fourth Street. The stone facing on top of the Unfortunatley this historical piece is tucked away where building .over the front door, now rests in the courtyard few people see it. 10 High School Building History In 1977, the “old building was remodeled and in turn renam- ed the renovated building. Reason? The “old building look- ed like a new building. After starting out with only 376,160 square feet of land, Cuyahoga Falls High School now covers 15.8 acres of land. Some additions to the school include the library, cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium, and vocational wing. MIDDLE LEFT: Beginning with a crack that opened up the brick wall by a window. East school slowly became n safely hazard. The public protested until the school was finally forced to close. It was torn down in 1967. MIDDLE RIGHT: Looking at the present view of the front of the new building, one can see a definite contrast to the old building. This addition added room for more administrative of- fices and the science and business departments. LEFT: Cuyahoga Falls High School holds 65 years worth of memories. Walking through the halls, a present day student ran only try to imagine what it was like for the students before him to walk through the same halls. High School Building History 11 ABOVE: The Stow Street lot shows how faculty and many students get to school in 1986. Here Mr. Kalbaugh checks for parking permits. Gin anyone believe high school students used to ride horses and buggies to school? Along the Rails Walking along Front Street 1986, maybe enjoying the shops and or a city sponsored festival, imagine how it used to be. The traveling onlooker views the river that once held the industries of Cuyahoga Falls but never the traffic of the city’s transportation. The Front Street traveler also views the expressway that was the main cause of the lose of many of the in- dustries on the riverfront — the beginning of urbanization. An important form of transportation in the Falls developed along the rails. Trains brought goods, people and work to and from the Falls. Streetcars were also part of the transportation scene in the river city. The railways even brought the community notoriety with the tragic crashes of the Mountain Line Trolley which occurred at the Highbridge Glens, and later the “Doodlebug” disaster. Pedestrians and motorists had to weave through the tracks on Front Street. Early on, one might think of the horses and buggies that once characterized the ci- ty. Imagine horses tied to rails outside the buildings that are today Revco or the Front Street apartments. The city motorists were then introduced to “real” transportation when the Model T Fords arrived in great numbers. Not everyone was fond of the idea: some even thought the “car” would never last. No matter what vehicle was used. Falls transportation always attempted to stay on track. RIGHT: The town pump, in the lower left hand comer, once sat on a comer of Front Street. The buggy wheel ruts in the dirt road show the days traffic. MIDDLE LEFT: This picture shows the building of the railway that once held the “Doodlebug”. Many still remember the tragic loss of many lives when the “Bug” crashed in 1945 near what is now Front Hudson Drive. MIDDLE RIGHT: During Fall Spring weather, mopeds and bicycles are ridden to school. The full parking lot shows the overpopulation of student drivers. Only a fraction of the students who apply receive parking permits. BOTTOM: Looking north on Front Street is a view of the streetcar tracks. The streetcars once ran down the middle of Front Street. 12 Transportation ABOVE :Army styles teamed up with blue jeans were worn in the 70 s mostly on or around college and high school campuses. LEFT: In 1913 the same fashions were worn by young and old, such as easy fitting dresses. FAR RIGHT :ln the 1900’s women’s dresses were ultra- frminine and impractical. MIDDLE TOP :ln the 1920’s men’s clothes became far less for- mal. Baggy plus fours” were worn with fancy patterned pullovers and matching long socks. ABOVE :The spring dresses of 1957 showed the styles becoming more simple and short. RIGHT :Wide deep hats accom- panied by long flowing dresses were the style of 1909. A Basic Fashion What do a Davy Crockett coonskin cap, a Nehru jacket, and denim bell bot- tom jeans have in common? Believe it or not, these are just some of the surprises that students in Cuyahoga Falls have ac- tually worn over the years. It’s difficult to understand now how previous students may have thought they were “cool” when wearing such wacky fashions. The point is, however, there has been a tremendous change in fads and fashions. Within twenty years, for instance, hair has gone from Beatle cuts, to the hippie styles of waist length, to mohawks, crewcuts and even to no hair at all — as some chose to shave all or most of their heads (males and females alike). Female fashions changed repeatedly. Perhaps nothing better represented this than hemlines, which underwent cons- tant change. The ankle length dresses of the early 1900’s finally rose to daring knee length in the 50’s and even risked further heights with the arrival of the miniskirt in the early 70’s. Yet, by the - Change 1980’s the hemline problem was solved — women wore what they liked, not what the fashion world dictated. Male dress also varied. Can any guy today imagine wearing knickers to school? Males have been seen wander- ing the hallways with wooden clogs, flowered shirts and plaid slacks-(not necessarily together) in recent years. Through all the times, one fashion rule remained the same- CHANGE was required. Fashion 13 A. Global View President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev met in Iceland for the Summit talks. After eleven hours, however, the Summit collapsed. The deadlock came about over the “Star Wars” issue. Reagan’s determination to continue development on the space- based defense against a nuclear attack and Premier Gorbachev’s determination to stop its research for ten years became the stumbling block that deterred agree- ment on any other issues. The world’s reaction was one of great disappointment. Tragedy struck on October 10. San Salvador, El Salvador, was hit by a ma- jor earthquake. The quake was followed by aftershocks during the night and the next day. The International Red Cross reported nearly 400 dead and 600 wounded. It also reported that the quake left more than 20,000 people homeless and about 600 hospitalized. The seven year-old war fought against the U.S.- supported government by leftist rebels was declared an indefinite ceasefire because of the quake. 1986 was the year that terrorism reached new heights in France. Paris went under a ten-day seige of terrorist bombings causing residents to fear for their lives when leaving their homes. In all, five bombs killed eight people and wounded more than 150. France, in its attempt to fight terrorism, tightened its borders against foreigners, staged police roundups, and began requiring visas for all foreigners entering the country ex- cept citizens of Switzerland and the Common Market countries. In 1986 polls showed that drugs were the nation’s largest worry. In the past ten years, the use of cocaine escalated dramatically. Statistics indicated that twenty-two million Americans, and 15.7% of American high school seniors had tried cocaine. A new, cheaper form called “crack” now put cocaine within the financial reach of adolescents. Despite the deaths of star athletes Len Bias and Don Rogers, young cocaine users ignored the fact that cocaine was one of the most dangerous drugs on the underground market. The crack down on crack became the nation’s number one goal. In September, Pan Am Flight 73 was hijacked in Pakistan. As Pakistani com- mandos considered a rescue attempt, the power generator on the plane failed, causing the lights to go out. The ter- rorists panicked and opened fire on the 390 passengers and flight attendants. Seventeen were killed and one hundred wounded. More than 100,000 Russians were exposed to high levels of radiation when the Chernobyl power plant erupted in April. Many of the victims that were close to the plant died within the first two weeks. Today many of the victims are still suffering both physically and mentally from the traumatic experience. Many bone marrow transplants that were vita! to replace the loss of red cor- puscles were performed by American and Soviet doctors. The victims also suf- fered from massive radiation burns and other side effects such as hair loss and extreme nausea. The tragedy itself had put a new emphasis on the worldwide concern about nuclear power. It was with due cause for all the English in Great Britain to celebrate the joyous occasion of a royal wedding in all its extravagance. Sarah Margaret Ferguson married Prince Andrew on Ju- ly 23, 1986. The newly-made Duke and Duchess of York were married in the 13th century Westminster Abbey as the invitees could easily hear the masses cheering outside the church walls. After a long process of restoration, the Statue of Liberty celebrated her one hundredth birthday in July. $252 million was donated through private gifts to help the restoration project. Chief ar- chitect Richard Hayden stated, “There’s no reason the statue shouldn’t last a thousand years.” An estimated two million people watched the fireworks from boats, parks, streets and rooftops. There were an estimated 30,000 vessels in New York harbor for the celebration. For the first time in nearly fifty years, the Goodyear airdock was opened for public viewing. Swarms of people crowded the grounds to see the huge air- dock and a blimp, the “America,” close-up. 14 A Global View LEFT: The disastrous nuclear power accident at Chernobyl, Russia, leaves the world in shock. Health agencies from many countries, including the U.S., rush to help victims. RIGHT: The celebration of the Statue of Liberty’s 100th birthday is extended over the long Fourth of July weekend. New York harbor was the focal point of nation-wide television extravaganzas, tall ships review and an enormous fireworks display. ABOVE: Heavy media coverage of the Iceland Summit builds up the hopes in the U.S. for possible resolu- tions of major issues like disarma- ment. Its abrupt end, however, brings worldwide disappointment. LEFT: The Royal wedding holds as true to its extravagant and luxurious form as it did hundreds of years ago in England. Upon marriage. Prince An- drew and Sarah Ferguson obtain the royal titles of Duke and Duchess of York. RIGHT: The Goodyear blimp is usually seen on television and football games from a great distance. But hun- dreds take advantage of the first open- ing of the Goodyear airdocks in nearly fifty years to get a close-up view of the blimp and the airdock itself. The opening of the gigantic airdock doors was accompanied by the Akron Sym- phony Orchestra playing the theme from 2001: Space Odyssey. i 1T7 ✓ A Global View Hats Off to Spirit Week The Black and Gold’s spirited week was just that. From the Canada Dry ginger ale cans on Bryan Casenhiser’s head to the mouseketeers bonnet on Cheri Lewis’s head, down to the hefty, hefty, hefty — whimpy, whimpy, whimpy grubbers named Mona Ewing and Heather Kennemuth the true fun began. No one could honestly say the beads off the flower children in the 60’s didn’t echo in the Catholic beads that Joan- na Lauck wore for her career day. Whether it be a career in stripes or a career just starting to bud under a bandana with baby pink hair curlers, it’s easy to see why Rene Harrington needs her cup of caffeine for the day. All faces were not our own as we expressed the growls and the sensitiveness of the tigers we represent. Hats and ties, 60’s attire, grub, career or Spirit Day, the hearts of the Black and Gold’s came bursting through to make our week an everlasting fun for all to remember Spirit Week. “It was really fun! It was great being able to dress up, and at the same time it showed spirit for our school,” said Heather O’Dell. When asked whether Spirit week helped improve school spirit, Cecilia Brady replied, “Yes. People who would ordinarily be embarrassed to act crazy let’s them have a reason to be a little wild.” LEFT: Bringing back the Good 01 Days is Mrs. Benfield (an English teacher) modeling her old style hat with a veil.

These were some of the sounds that filled the gym during pep rallies. All students, freshmen through seniors, showed spirit for their school, by cheer- ing their teams on to victory. Different organizations throughout the school put on the rallies during the year. The rallies were put on by the senior class officers. “It was hard to get it organized and find things that would get the crowd in- volved, but it was a great feeling to look up and finally see everybody cheering together for their school,” stated class officers Melinda Blank and Terrie Salmon. The rallies designed to invoke en- thusiasm among the student body con- sisted of recognizing athletes and other V.I.P.’s, getting students psyched for big games, and, of course, cheering contests with the annual awarding of the spirit banner to the winning class. The students, all 2156 of them, joined together to end the pep assemblies with the singing of the Alma Mater.

Spirit Week 17 Classes, pep rallies, homework, games . . . playing and working, these are all part of what one sees when look- ing at student life. Other factors, however, make today’s student life a far cry from that of the city’s early days. One such factor would be the increas- ing number of students who have part- time jobs. More students now than ever before are working to save money, either for college educations or cars and recreation, each of which is a factor in itself. Thus with the increase in out of school activities, had to come a balanc- ing decline of school-based involvement, leaving clubs and other organizations less important than before . . . TOP: Every Friday and Saturday night, all through the year, but especially during football and basketball seasons, Graham Koad McDonald's is cram packed with high school students from area schools.

Supermarkets, fast food restaurants and other nearby businesses are full of Falls students who are trying to earn a little money for a little extra fun. 18 Student Life Looking back al student life, one notes the similarities that do exist, but the differences are unmistakably prevalent. As the uppermost level of education, high school ranked above and beyond all other activity and dozens of clubs existed then. After school, most students went home, not to a hangout; those who did went to the Tiger Den where they could study and meet their friends at what became during the war years, almost a “home away from home” for kids whose parents war in- volvements left them with little or no real homelife of their own. Years have passed and times have changed but student life remains to pro- vide some of the best memories of the high school years.

In high school, homework was the common denominator for all students in all courses. In a survey done about study habits, students' reactions were somewhat divided. Some felt that homework should not be necessary. As one student commented, “• ■ ■ teachers should be able to teach what you need to know in class time.” This same opinion was shared by Michele Sprouse who said. Homework isn’t necessary because we spend seven hours a day, five (lays a week. Then we have to spend the majority ol our nights doing homework.” One student had mixed emotions about homework. Oh! Yuck! I hate to take homework home. I hale to do it. But I take it home and somehow it almost always gets done. said Crissy Powell. On the other hand, s •me students fell that homework was necessary to their education. One student commented that, [“there isn’t enough time in srhool to cover everything. It also prepares us for rylhing. Another student had similar IITOP: Doug Kuhlke is using his library time to Idy and to read a current chapter. Students go to the library instead of sitting in study hall Although some abuse ihe priveledge, many use it wisely. BOTTOM: Freshmen have come to realize that the library is no w here to joke around, hejre some underclassmen take the time to do some extra studying. 20 Same Old Grind feelings and stated, “Yes. it helps to motivate us and helps us to learn our assignment, and gives us practice.” The overall feelings of many students were represented by the comment of one student who said, Homework is the only way in which what we learn can be positively reinforced.” Teachers, like most students, also felt that homework was a necessity. In most math classes homework was assigned almost every day. Mr. Jon Slrubbe, a math teacher noted that, Homework should reinforce the class work.” Regularly assigned homework was also a necessity in foreign languages. “You can’t learn a foreign language in fifty minutes a day, you have to practice more,” said French teacher Cheryl Brower. Other teachers tried to make homework more meaningful. This was show n by teacher Sue Eastin who said, “I try to make my homework more interesting by doing the weird and the unusual.” Whatever a student’s personal opinions, homework was an unavoidable fact of life.

Same Old Grind 21 22 Homecoming The First Step Twas the night after Halloween, and all through the town. Each girl was dressing and prancing in a formal evening gown. The decorations were hung by the Tiger- backers with care. With hopes that dancing couples soon would be there . . . This was the scenario as approximately twenty Tigerbackers met at 9 a.m. on November first to transform the gymnasium into an oriental garden. Armed with streamers, fans, lanterns, and enthusiasm, they worked until 2:00 p.m. to perfect the theme, “Oriental Magic.” By 8:00 p.m.. Homecoming ’86 was underway. However, there were several changes from previous dances. Many participants were pleased about having a d.j.

Tina Sellers, Scott Keller.Lora Hawkins, Bob Cochrane. Jerry Arnie, Jenny Greenwood, and John McClure. Court members are nominated by their own classmates and the male and female students with the top votes then represent their respective class on the court. There are five couples for the senior class and one couple from each of the other classes. Another change from previous years was the crowning of the king and queen. It took place at halftime of the football game against archrival Stow, instead of at the dance itself. Michael Bell felt that this “took away from the suspense of finding out at the dance.” On the other hand, Travis Dryden said that he “thought it was neat because the people saw the activities of the court because everyone had their uniforms on,” such as football, band, and cheerleading. Perhaps the most memorable event of the night occurred when the d.j. set off a few fiashpots for a visual effect. A varie- ty of explanatins for the event started shortly after. “The speaker blew up” and “A streamer hit the lights” were just a few of the rumors. For the most part, many enjoyed Homecoming. “The slow dances were the most memorable event,” remembered one student. Mona Ewing probably summed up the opinion of most students when she said that her most remembered feeling was “The ex- citement of that first step into the gym.” Dances,such as Homecoming, had always been a common fixture at the high school. However, there were several changes between the dances of today and those of the past. For example, today’s decora- tions included streamers, murals, and many bright colors such as green and red. However, in the early 1900’s, more natural decorations were used. According to Terry Swain, a 1922 graduate, students used to go into the woods and gather leaves and branches for fall dances. She also said dial students appreciated the decora- tions more because they helped to make them with their own hands. Dance attire had also changed from the past. “Girls dressed very formally in long dresses,” con- tinued Mrs. Swain. She noted that guys, for the most part, wore suits. Presently, however, both guys and girls wore various styles. Girls dressed in both long, elegant gowns and shorter, less formal dresses. Guys wore either a sweater or sport coat with a tie . . . or even rented a tux. The idea of dancing itself changed as well. In the past, girls allowed guys to sign up on their dance cards for certain dance numbers. Through the years, this tradition had faded. Although dance cards had now vanished, the idea of varying dance partners still existed. One student commented, “My boyfriend was kinda upset because I danced every slow dance with someone other than my date.” TOP: Leaving their dates for awhile. Mindy Bland.

I admire all those qualities of the band and wanted to be part of it,” stated Kathryn Prather, a second year band member. Most people knew that the band had been called “The Pride” for quite some time but they did not realize that the nickname “The Pride” came from tradition. “The band sticks to tradition,” said Chris Demarco, the band’s second year director, by keeping the same uniforms, using the same fast march entrance, re- maining a show band — a band that entertains and brings forth many emo- tions in the crowds — and by not incor- porating flags or making major style changes in the continued previous tradi- tion. Furthermore, the band brought back older routines used in previous years such as “Stars and Stripes,” “Tigerlines,” and “Script Falls.” Even though the band stayed with tradition, they did incorporate something new. This was the first year that the freshmen joined the band. While this move caused doubt among some in the community, it apparently succeeded. As DeMarco noted, “Some said it couldn’t be done, but they are doing a fantastic job.” TOP: Karen Hurd, a two year band member, demonstrates “The Pride” of the band and fine mar- ching techniques. LEFT: Here the band marches at practice making use of Chris Demarco’s computer technology. Marching Band 25 A. Tandy Band ? Few spectators watching the band per- form realize that a computer was responsi- ble for what they saw. For the first time, this year, Mr. Demarco used a Tandy 1000 computer to choreograph the band’s routines. Demarco, the band’s director, breaks a song into sections of eight beats and charts it on the computer. The pro- grammed computer positions the band squads and moves them to the beat of the music. Therefore, he can see the performance on the computer before he even teaches it to the band. Demarco said it takes approximately five hours to choreograph a song on the computer and one week to teach the band how to perform it. The first band at Cuyahoga Falls High School was created in September of 1922 by Mr. Layton — a former principal of the school. That year the band was only 24 members strong — all male and they had no uniforms. Mr. Schabaugh was the very first band director and he directed from 1922 to 1925. In 1925, after raising $1,000, the band was able to pur- chase new instruments and military style uniforms. Over the next few years, there were many band direc- tors. Mr. Cruikshaink followed Schabaugh and in turn came Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Duckwall, Mrs. Long, and finally, R.O. Reynolds in 1946. At this time the band had grown to 48 members. In 1959, Robert Feldbush joined Reynolds as assistant band director. During this time the band marched in a military style and basically made designs as they played music. Be- tween 1961-1970 significant changes took place. In 1961, the band received new uniforms with new hats and converters. It is the style still worn today. Mr. Feldbush said,“This made a big change in appearance ... it made people look bigger.” In addition, the marching style was changed from a military style to a show band with more running steps. The band marched at its first pro- fessional football game in 1967 for the Cleveland Browns. Since then, the band performed at many other football games as well as other major public attractions. In 1985, Chris Demarco replaced Feldbush as band director and is now directing the 113 member unit.

Marching Band 27 SinARTies The Iasi few months of 1986 brought potential tragedy to Northeast Ohio as Sir James Goldsmith, a British Corporate raider, attempted a hostile takeover of Goodyear Industries with the help of the Merrill Lynch brokerage. Goodyear was one of the area’s major sources of jobs, and the potential takeover meant the selling off of many of the company’s industries such as Celeron oil and Goodyear Aerospace. In addition, plant closings caused many to lose their jobs or to be layed off. Com- munities and groups joined in the fight against the takeover by demonstrations and buying Goodyear stock. The P.O.D. students at Falls High saw the need to get involved and formed S.M.A.R.T. (Student’s March Against Raider Takeover). The purpose of SMART was to draw attention to the Goodyear problem and do something about it. The group decided to raise enough money to buy Goodyear stock. The methods of fun- draising included the “Goldbuster” dart game where students paid to throw darts through a Goodyear tire at a picture of Sir James Goldsmith. Donations were accepted and pins were given for every 25 cents donated. The group then voted to give the purchased stock back to Goodyear. Other projects of SMART included let- ters to three Congressmen, Merrill Lynch, and the President. A liaison comitlee at- tended a Summit County meeting, met with Mayor Robart and brought back the news to the group. An interclass newsletter was distributed, and a petition was circulated throughout the school. After Goldsmith’s takeover had been blocked, Sandy Kreiner, whose P.O.D. class organized SMART, noted her student’s reactions. “It was a tension release, and yet there was anger that a person could just walk off with the money and leave us the bill.” Yet, positive aspects were brought about by SMART. As senior Patt Beck stated, “The unity between the students, brought about by the Goodyear takeover, was a positive outlook for student activism.” SMART had accomplished its goal and more. As Mrs. Kreiner noted, “It was the community that saved Goodyear, and the students at Falls were part of that effort.” TOP: The Goldbuster game is played by throwing darts through a Goodyear tire at a picture of James Goldsmith.

They soon found out that the play was not an ordinary one. It was an old fashioned melodrama with plenty of action and excitement. The company had many practices so they would feel confortable with their lines and cues. Actress Sharon Rich said, “Prac- tice is a must!” Melanie Seabase went on to say, “The only difficulty encountered was the learning of cues because it becomes very easy to miss a cue or entrance.” The characters in “Olde Fashioned Fun.” ranged from a timid hero to a “vam- py” sister. Dennis Babb said, about Adonis, “He lisps, he’s shy, he’s dumb, and he’s in love with Beulah Belle, (the leading lady) I want to be just like him.” On the other hand, Melanie Seabase said, “ It was great fun to play the obnoxious. “vampy” sister to the heroine, she was so snotty and just an all around bad person that I really had fun with. It gave me a chance to overact and create for the au- dience a character that they could ab- solutley love to hate.” “Encouragement to the actors in the form of cheering, applauding, hissing,boo- ing, stamping feet, whistling, sobbing and gasping will be enthusiastically tolerated by the management,” noted an insert in the program. Audience participation played a big role in the success of the plays. “I real- ly had a good time watching the play and also watching the audience. It was almost like a dress rehearsal, which made me feel more comfortable,” commented Rebecca Wankum. The actors had as much fun performing as the audience had watching. As actress Rich stated, “Melodramas are a lot of fun to be in. They are also a great way to ex- hibit creativity.” ABOVE: “Yes, Anna!” said Granny (Sharon Rich) (o Anna (Rose Strclbicki), “Musi git busy with this.

Some faculty members have even been heard to mutter “This is the pits!” after performing this duly. Others call it plain old “potty patrol.” 32 It’s the Pits BOYS Jt9s the Pits? The phrase “the Pits” has meant dif- ferent things to different people. To some, the words may have referred to the early “Bear Pits” that were in Silver Lake when it was an amusement park. (The pits were located on the shore of the Lake near the place where the one- way entrance becomes Silver Lake Boulevard.) To others, “the pits” signified the nickname for the Designated Smoking Area at the high school. And for the Falls High teachers, the phrase, “It’s the Pits” might have best expressed their feelings about monitoring the restrooms between classes. The Designated Smoking Area was created because of a student protest riot and loitering problems in and around the school grounds. The important date was October 23, 1978. It was then that an undercover drug arrest at the Data Processing Building across from the school occured. This led to a riot situa- tion in front of the school as police and students confronted each other. In addi- tion, students were constantly loitering at certain houses near school property in order to smoke. “The Pit,” approved by the Board of Education in the spring of 1979, was the outcome of these pro- blems. Mr. Rump, administrative prin- cipal, said, “The purpose of the designated smoking area was twofold: to have a location for smoking on school grounds so students won’t loiter on property near the school, and to keep restrooms free of smoke and cigarette butts.” The rules pertaining to the pit have changed over the years. In 1979 (the first year the Pit was used) students were permitted use from 7:30-8:00 A.M., between classes, at lunch, and after school. Then in the 1985-86 school year significant changes took place. Students were allowed to smoke in the area before school, at lunch, and after school for five minutes-not between classes. In addition, parent permission was needed to smoke. Finally, during the 1986-87 school year, a “Smoking Review Committe” of 22 people were reviewing the smoking policies for students and adults at school and its related events. Any changes were to be announced later in the year. For the past two years the teachers have received “Restroom Surveillance” charts, more commonly called “Potty Patrol.” Many teachers find this unplea- sant and dislike “patrolling” restrooms. Very often the rooms of the teacher are far from the restroom assignment. Ron Carrell said, “Teachers shouldn’t have to patrol the restrooms between classes because they are being paid to teach, not patrol.” It’s the Pits 33 A. Tough Choice ? When winter approaches one ques- tion often asked by Falls High students is “where should 1 ski this year?” When choosing between Boston Mills or Brandywine ski resorts, some students took into consideration which club was closer or cost less. Many looked at what night the club skied on. For the experts, the size and quality of the slopes was their main concern. Other skiers just liked skiing with their friends. Mike Thomas stated, “Since 1 have no means of transportation, I go where my friends go.” Since both clubs were relatively the same distance from the school, and basically the same price, some looked at the benefits outside each club. When joining Brandywine, each member receives three free lift tickets to ski on other days of the week, plus three tickets free admission to Dover Lake Park. Boston Mills skiers started their season three weeks earlier than Brandywine, this allowed them extra time on the slopes. A development this year seemed to be the one-sidedness towards skiing on Fridays at the Brandywine club. This year that club had 112 members com- pared to Boston Mills membership of 35. No more than two years ago, skiing at Boston Mills was the “in thing” to do. The main reason for this change seemed to be the “Friday night advantage.” In other words, being able to stay out late and not having to worry about tests on the next day allowed the Brandywine club to become more dominate. 34 Ski Club RIGHT : From Si.

Yuletitle Pleasure Getting into the Christmas spirit involved many activities and preparations at the high school. Organized by Mr. Conti and Mrs. Wilkins, the Christmas Festival was presented by the Junior Senior choir. New Horizons, tenth grade chorus, and the freshman chorus. These choirs overall in- cluded approximately 300 students who had been preparing since September. Although the rehearsal the night before was disheartening, the show was well received by the audience. “We had had a rather unsuccessful rehearsal the night before the concert, but everything went well,” said Mr. Conti. Not only music played a part in Christmas. Student Council sold candy- grams for 25 cents that were delivered in homerooms before break. In addition, council presented each teacher with a flower and held the annual Teachers’ Tea. Their efforts didn’t end at decorating the school. They took their Christmas spirit in-: to the community by decorating the pine trees on Front Street Mall. The Student Council also won a spirit contest through competition against three other schools and received a pizza party al Pizza Hut for decorating the Graham Road restaurant. r Christmas gave many Falls students reason to celebrate.

This event was otherwise known as the 1987 Pops Concert. Soloists were previously chosen by auditions. One performer was Shayne Johnson, who sang “Through the Eyes of Love” from the 1978 movie “Ice Castles.” Another soloist was Brad Fryman, who sang “Michelle” from a Beatles Medley. A lot of work was done by all members, in- cluding director Mrs. Rebecca Wilkins. Extra research was done in order to find out what songs from the Emmy Awards and Academy Awards would be appropriate. It was worth- while for Wilkins, who noted it was, “One of the best shows I’ve ever done.” Cast members agreed. “People loved the show! I was very proud of my theatrical peers,” said Rene Harrington. Erick Poston replied, “The one thing that was most surprising on opening night was the energetic crowd and the way all the seniors reacted toward one another because it was our last concert.” ABOVE: Singing “Hand for the Hog” from the Broadway show “Big River” are Billy Auld and Mike Kelley.

Unexpected events that could have ruined the Pops concert actually added to the enjoyment. One mishap that could have been a catastrophe involved Shayne Johnson. When she was singing her solo “Ice Castles,” she was supposed to rollerskate across the stage. Dawn Hughes explained, “Shayne had unknowingly gotten her foot tangled in the microphone cord, and Susie White had to crawl upon the stage ‘unnoticed’ to unravel the cord from Shayne’s rollerskate.” A microphone caused problems for another as well. Before Mary Elums’ solo, her microphone cord came detached from the microphone, but she handled the situation well. She held the cord in one hand, the microphone in the other, and smiled at the audience. Then, she put it back together, finishing her solo successfully!

Students had many different opinions about the Wild Wild West T.W.I.R.P. theme. Gary Miller said, “The theme was a good idea. It was easy to dress for and a lot of fun.” On the other hand, Jodi Albers thought the theme was stupid because, “Not everybody has wild west clothes lay- ing around at home.” Although the students had different thoughts about the theme, almost everybody had a good time during the dance. Rob Lemke said he liked the wild people the best while Jodi Albers said she just enjoyed being with all of her friends. T.W.I.R.P. was the best liked dance by the students, noted Mr. Hupp (the student council advisor).

A high school student’s greatest fear was that feeling of being unaccepted.

Very few people could have escaped resisting the pressures of their peers. The majority of the students conformed to their friends. Fitting in was a major goal of their high school career. Students were basically talked into participating on Twirp Day by their friends. Students from many different social classes wore costumes to school, as their friends did. Some were sur- prised by the results. As Brian Hoover said, “It was great!” In the past, so many studenst par- ticipated on Twirp Day that those who didn’t were the outsiders. Times seemed to have changed. Now, although Twirp Day remained a tradition, it was a slight- ly less successful one than earlier years.

The imagination would not be able to grow or expand to create such wonderful things as excuses if life contained no mistakes or mishaps. Excuses are like the plague, they are impossible to hide from and there is no I cure. Whether it’s in the classroom, in the office, or in the hallway — they are always there, and there is no escaping them. The dictionary defines an excuse as “an explanation offered to justify or elicit forgiveness.” The students see an excuse as just one more way to outsmart their teachers. Usually, the teachers aren’t outwitted and they know excuses are just cop-outs. A person would have to be very gullible to accept the fact that an oversized bagel could make a student late for school or that a goldfish could have an appetite big enough to con- sume an entire homework assignment. Yet, occasionally a teacher may let the student off the hook in return for a good laugh, if an excuse is really outrageous. In one case, a stu- L dent ran into his American History class a few minutes late. He was out of breath. His face was flushed, and he was dripping with sweat. When his teacher asked why he was' late, his excuse was, “I’m late because I had to run home and get my book so I wouldn’t be on your bad side!” The teacher just chuckled and said, “That’s one of the better one I’ve heard!”, letting the disturbance pass. Usually the students receive an “F” for not turning in their homework, and if they were .tardy they would serve a detention, but if they were being graded on originality they would all get “A’s. ooo ■frw room h d +r vi vU e broker 4he uoQslner'. tO ) CiOQ -Weui'w in m -Vcdr i6 uJr X Irwe V do ddVA oo cm! 46 Excuses Excuses 47 TOP LEFT: Changes in scenes require cooperation and concentration; basically complete precision is needed.

The first full scale musical production at the high school was “My Fair Lady” in 1969 and was directed by Mrs. Joan Brower. It ran three nights and SOLD OUT all three. The leads were Brian Hall and Susie Woodrum, who both went on to future careers in theatre. 1987 brought “Kiss Me Kate” to the Fail’s auditorium on March 12, 13, and 14. It told the story of an acting company doing a production of William Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew.” Although the musical ran the same weekend as the boy’s basketball District finals, loyal friends, relatives and many others came to see the production. The cast consisted of 68 students and was directed by Miss Linn Smith. Other authorities working on the production were the music directors Mrs. Rebecca Wilkins, Mr. Donald P. Turoso and choreographer Mr. John Thomas assisted by Mr. Scott Ar- nold. Playing the leads were Rene Har- rington as “Lois Lane Bianca,” John Mc- Clure as “Bill Calhoun Lucentio,” Dennis Babb as Harry Trevor Baptista,” Mary Elum as “Lili Vanessi Kate” and Mike McKee as “Fred Graham Petruchio.” TOP: Paying attention to practices and cues was a necessary demand.

Musical 49 Action The feeling of being “on stage” affected them all. “It’s wonderful. You don’t have to think about anything else except your character — you don’t have to be afraid of what people will think of you because you are another person with another personality and a totally different outlook. You forget about being on stage and just become another person — it’s great. The power of knowing you have complete control of the audience is the greatest feeling in the world,” remarked Mary Elum. But, after the show was over it was very clear that following the many hours the cast spent together, all weren’t happy to go. Tami Penix recalled, “After the show it was ex- tremely difficult to know that our little family wouldn’t be together and many close friends we would not see often.” 50 Musical OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP: Petruchio, played by Mike McKee, sings “I Came to Wive It Wealhily in Padua” and here he picks the wealthy Katherine, played by Mary Elum, as his wife.

No matter how many times radio, newspapers, parents, teachers and others said, “JUST SAY NO,” Youth-to-Youth members felt that more action was necessary. Convincing students that it was okay to say no to drugs and alcohol was not an easy task. Miss Smith, the club’s advisor said, “We believe you can have fun without the use of drugs and alcohol,” so the club pro- moted drug free activities such as a sock- hop, Christmas caroling and the Spring Fling Dance. They also sponsored special “Just Say No” skits at elementary schools. Besides backing chemical-free activities, the club tried to emphasize how dangerous drinking and driving was. Michelle Ferrell commented, “I feel we need to reach out and inform not only students but the general public about the dangers of drunk driving.” The club participated with the general public at a special Christmas vigil sponsored by M.A.D.D (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and also organized a Drug Awareness Week for the period before prom and graduation. The Drug Awareness Week was put together by Youth-to-Youth to eliminate some of the drinking and driv- ing that had been a past problem during those end-of-the-year celebrations. Youth-to-Youth put in time and effort trying to promote drug-free activities. Tracey Pagano noted, “The members found out you really can have a good time without drinking.” This seemed to prove to Youth-to-Youth members that their efforts were worthwhile.

Youth-to-Youth 53 TASK: Define Student Counci School government beneath the Board of Education? For the student body? Representing the school — and its population? Student Council was the answer to all these questions. Besides planning dances, sponsoring pep rallies, promoting school events, and bringing the bloodmobile to school. Student Council kept in touch with the student body and introduced school spirit to all the students. In addition to their school activities, they did many other things to earn their grades. There were committee reports, participa- tion grades, and attendance grades which took time from their ‘out of school’ lives to complete. During March, Student Council presented a ‘Tiger Pride’ banner to the school which would be hung in the gym- nasium. The members committed themselves the day they were elected into Student Council and they worked toward making it a successful and spirit-rilled year.

I’ve made so many close friends that have helped me out. I’ll never forget my years in council!” Holly Braschwilz “friendship. It’s meeting and getting to know all different kinds of people and making long- lasting friendships with them. It’s a time to share. It’s expressing ideas. voicing opinions, and discussing situations and topics. It’s planning, to make ideas and thoughts become realities. Finally, it’s work. While it’s fun because we all work together, it’s just that. Everyone carries his her own load in order to make possibilities into concrete progress.” Kathy Leigh “like a family to me. When something needs done we all work together to get it done.” Heather Kennemuth “an organization of class representatives at- tempting to adequately convey the thoughts and ideas of the student body, in order to promote participation and spirit among the students.” Mike Jenkins “getting to know different types of people of different ages. It’s learning how to get along with them and work together to better our school.” Shayne Johnson “an organization to represent the student body. We try to do better things for our school. For example, getting students involved. Everyone thinks Student Council is a popularity contest, in my opinion it’s not. It's the people that are responsible and time-giving. Council is fun, but we get the job done.” Lisa Nemeth “being able to say or give an opinion of what goes on in school. It’s a lot of fun. You meet a lot of people. We’re like one big family.” Terri Smith Student Council 55 A “Pox on Horizons? Where could an audience spend “A Night in Tunisia” while watching “Sara Smile,” and — at the same time — do a little “Twist and Shout”? At Musical Horizons, that’s where! On May 15 and 16 in the Falls High auditorium, the Goldtones, M M’s and Majorettes, along with other featured vocalists, performed a wide variety of music. However, it looked for a while as if the Goldtones would be without a drummer. John Huber, the regular drummer, contracted chicken pox approximately one week before the show. Mr. DeMarco, the Goldtones director, called upon Joe Patrick, the extra percussionist for the past two years. When asked what he would never forget about Musical Horizons, Joe replied, “I only had four days to learn the part!!!” In the first half of the show, the program was devoted mainly to jazz and the big band era. In comparison, the second half was the one huge medley that supported the show's theme. “The Sensational Sixties.” Artists such as The Monkees, The Doors, The Four Tops and The Beatles were featured as all groups participated in the tribute to the 60’s. The finale of the medley occurred when the Goldtones walked out into the audience in order to perform “Hey Jude.” After the bows, the Goldtones wrapped up Musical Horizons by playing the traditional “String of Pearls.” ABOVE: “Just being able lo sing with the band and feel the great support of them behind me when 1 sing is a wonderful feeling,” commented Mary Elum. As the official Goldtones vocalist, she had a chance to sing a variety of songs from big band to 60’s rock. TOP RIGHT: Is Ted Shorter really using a household plunger on his trombone? “It’s an effect used because of the ‘wah wah’ sound that it makes when you move it around in front of the horn,” stated Ted.

This was when the club usually had it’s highest number in membership, about 100 students, said Mrs. Kelly, Advisor. The homecoming theme was “Oriental Magic” with the theme song “Friends and Lovers,” by Carl Anderson and Gloria Coring. Ap- proximately 650 people were in atten- dance which was very good, considering dances just came back into fashion. “The dresses seemed to be more frilly and fancy rather than straight and plain,” stated Mrs. Kelly. Every year the tigerbackers sell carnations for sweetest Day and Valentines Day. Usually over $1000 was made, but the Valentines Day sale was not as successful. The French Club was selling Pal-o-grams, which pulled the profits down to approximately $400. This profit was used to help out the sports, such as the cross country team. Extra funds helped the team to make the trip to Columbus for state competition. In addition to selling carnations, sponsoring the homecoming and making signs and ban- ners, Tigerbackers had a $500 scholarship, for a student who had definite plans to attend col- lege, who was involved with school activities, and who demonstrated the definite financial need. “Over $4000 was given out within the past 3 years,” stated Mrs. Kelly. Tigerbacker officers were: Marcie Laughlin — president; Michelle Moore — Vice presi- dent and Kelly Finnerty — secretary treasurer.

Tigerbackers 59 Getting It Together Mrs. Carole Schaffer, Mrs. Sandi Horner, and the junior class officers put lots of hard work into making the prom a special night. They spent several hours and over $3000 in preparation for the big event. Their efforts were successful, according to Cecilia Brady who said, “I think those in charge did a fantastic job of making our senior prom special.” Among other things, decorations were ordered, prom booklets were put together, flowers were arranged, and a band was chosen. This year for the first time, the prom committee viewed videos of area bands to make their choice for prom. Photographers were on hand from Carmen’s studios and took pictures of ap- proximately 190 couples. Although no expense was spared, as decora- tions were bought where those in the past were hand made, the junior class still came out ahead financially.

Na- tional statistics show that more drunk driving accidents happen with teenagers around graduation prom time, than any other time of the year. Youth to Youth, with advisor, Linn Smith, did all they could to discourage such ac- tivities at Falls High. The Ohio Department of Highway Safety donated many items to aid the cause. There were stickers saying “Don’t Drink and Drive” that were sent to area florists and placed on the boxes for corsages and boutonnieres. There were tags to stick on tuxedos and posters to place around the school building bearing the same message. B B Towing also played a part by donating the remains of a car wrecked by a drunk driver. This showed the reality teen drivers might have to face if drinking and driving were not avoided. LEFT: Todd Large examines the remains of the car demolished by a drunk driver. B B Towing helped Youth to Youth present the seriousness of drinking and driving. BOT- TOM: This miniature billboard, displayed on all of the teachers’ desks, is just one of the many reminders supplied through Youth to Youth to stress their point: DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE STAY ALIVE!!! Before Prom 61 On the Edge of a Dream Stars, balloons, and various other blue and silver decorations filled Gardner Student Center, representing the theme, “On the Edge of a Dream.” It was a night filled with fun and friends as well as romance and sophistication for over 600 students who attended the prom. XEROX, the band, played many songs including one Led Zepplin tune which made them a hit with much of the crowd. Students chose different “favorites” from throughout the evening; like Chris Alexander’s “finally getting to really dress up for dinner” and Jim Welfley’s “looking studly in my tux!” But what really made prom memorable? For Eric Earvin it was, “see- ing all my friends all dressed up and trying to act civilized!” And Chris Neil, “sharing a very special time with someone I care for a great deal. Why? Because that is what makes memories.” 62 Prom LEFT; Prom courl takes time out of the big night to pose for a group shot.

FAR RIGHT: With the customary changing of the tassels, Tracey Bergstrom and Paul Birch are ready for the real world. 66 Graduation On Their Way At 8:00 p.m. June 4, 1987, 477 seniors looked back at all those memories and looked forward to all the new experiences they would have, whether entering the job market or going to college. After the traditional playing of “Pomp and Circumstance” by the band, the seniors knew they were on their way to becoming 1987 graduates. The ceremonies opened with Invoca- tion given by Rev. Dr. Doyle A. Luckenbaugh from The Church in Silver Lake. Following was the Baccalaureate Address, given by Rev. Alvin A. Boehlke, from Redeemer Lutheran Church. The A Capella Choir performed two numbers, “Beautiful Savior,” and “Now Is Where The Years Behind Have Led.” After the choir performed their two numbers, two student speakers spoke. “We have ac- complished, we have achieved and we have grown,” was the focal point of the speech given by Mary Elum. Mike McKee gave some advice to the graduates in his speech when he stated, “Dream your dreams and never stop learning.” Mr. David Rump, administrative principal, complimented the class on the scholastic achievement and all the activities in which the class was involved. Then Andy Pocock, senior class president, addressed the class and voiced the thoughts going through most of the graduates heads, “WE MADE IT!” Finally, the tassels were switched, and the class of 1987 was ON THEIR WAY!

Graduation 67 Russian History, Shakespeare Seminar, Child Development, Music Theory . .. there were over 200 classes offered at Falls High, including many vocational sub- jects such as Auto Mechanics, Cosmetology and Accounting. Students took the required classes, most of which were offered on different skill levels, then chose from a wide variety of electives to earn the credits they needed. The variety of subjects let students ex- plore several different areas, giving them a broader education with more specialized knowledge. The diversification, however, was not always present. ..

However, Academics were not always even this advanced. As a matter of fact, at one point in time, the graduation re- quirements included such things as know- ing how to farm one’s land. Eventually more of an academic variety was added. The story telling class offered in 1927 was one of the most unusual classes. It was said to “help one express a thought in his own words and to choose the right kind of words to fit the subject.” As time went on, academics developed into the well rounded education we know in 1987.

Academics 69 ,1 • Making • Tracks Interviews, photographs, writing, typ- ing, layouts, deadlines . . . these were just a few of the steps in making tracks for the Paw Prints staff. First, they had to come up with the story ideas, then go out and conduct in- terviews and do research to find enough information from which to write the ar- ticles. When the stories were completed, they had to be fit on layout pages. Sometimes they came up short of copy and were forced to do last minute re- porting. Molly Kuhlke, a second year staff member, said, “Being on a newspaper staff always seemed like the ideal school activity. However, even though the paper can be fun, it is also a lot of hard work. It isn’t as glorious as one would think.” Heading the list of difficulties for most staffers was meeting deadlines. For these students, a missed deadline meant ABOVE : Interviewing is an important part of being a jour- nalist.

How did they cope? “I lock myself in a room and scream!” said Feature Page editor, Matt Bums. Some of the students got more work than they bargained for, as their teacher. Miss Wolf, missed a large portion of the year due to illness. This meant no help on story ideas, no help with layouts, and several trips to Ron-Tac Publications for the Paw Printers. Although somehow they managed, Betsy Eley said, “It’s possible to put out a paper without an advisor, but to put out a real quality one, that’s something else.” Though producing a newspaper could be tough, it had it’s rewards. Miss Wolf gave one of her reasons for enjoying the class, “I enjoy watching the students learn and enjoy the newspaper and see- ing the gross work over the entire year.” The students benefitted from the class as well. “I have learned how to handle stress better, and I deal with people bet- ter. There were things I learned as far as how to produce a newspaper and so forth, but most of the things I learned were in the human relations ‘get along with your fellow person’ bit and how to create a good impression on people you have never met,” said Jeff Medkeff. Molly Kuhlke also added, “Being on the paper is a real challenge. It has its ups and it has quite a bit of downs, especially around deadline time. However, when the paper is finished and people are talking about your work, all the trouble somehow seems to be worth it.” 70 Newspaper TOP LEFT : Dave Wolcott slaves away at the light board, adding the final touches to the paste-up.

Newspaper 71 Changes • • • New faces, new changes, that’s what the instrumental music department faced this year. A new face that was seen was Don Turoso. Mr. Turoso directed the or- chestra, and the Gold band, besides being assistant marching band director. “1 would like to build up confidence and give greater exposure to the jazz ensemble and the smaller groups within larger ensembles for more individualized in- struction,” stated Mr. Turoso. Another addition to the music program was Mr. William Hill, who directed the Black band. Not only did symphonic band and the Goldtones (directed by Chris DeMarco) prove their ability to Cuyahoga Falls, but they also traveled to Washington, D.C., and Virginia to compete in the Dixie Classic Invitational. Along with all the large ensembles there was added the string quartet and the jazz combo also directed by Mr. Turoso. Both of these groups traveled around the community playing in various nursing homes and other special events. There was added this year something known by band students as “Mega Band. The Mega band was a combina- tion of the Black and Gold bands and also symphonic band. They performed together for one concert which was played outside the school. “It was definitely an experience, even though our music was flying around in the wind, I still had a good time,” stated Susan Stephens, a flutist in the symphonic band. Although there were quite a lot of changes that took place they all seemed very successful. TOP: Mr. DeMarco is quite a busy man.

Unique?!? On the first day each one of the staff walked into the room not knowing what to expect from each other, and wondering how all of these dif- ferent people would be able to pull together and produce a first class book. The personalities of the staff went from one extreme to the other but it took this variety of people to be able to put a two hundred plus page book together. There were many thoughts going through each person’s head such as, “What did I get myself into,” said Jean Lewis. After the first few weeks, everybody started Ho relax. Mr. Keenan, the co-advisor, jokingly said, “In fact some became comatose.” Once the book title had been decided and everything was agreed upon the work was started and there was lots of work to be done. After assignments were given out, interviews were finished, pictures were identified, copy was written, everything was ready to be typed on to the quad pack. Instead of tediously typing every word onto the quad pack, the staff members were able to easily type into the computer. Staff member Marcie Laughlin commented, “Easy corrections on the computer made life much simpler.” Ac- cording to co-advisor Mrs. Joan Brower the computer would have worked out better if there would have been more computers to use. Everyone who was able to work with the com- puter was glad it was available. If the staff members were asked to describe the yearbook, there would be as many different descriptions as staff members. Michelle Large said, “It’s a lot of hard work but it’s worth it to be able to look back and see what was ac- complished.” “It’s a different experience from all other classes,” noted Jean Lewis.

Yearbook 75 iVo “Easy A99 Self-confidence, courage, and a positive attitude were just a few of the qualities that made up the individuality of a vocal music student. Those who took choir for an “easy A” soon discovered that it was more than sit- ting around singing. To be able to put together a two hour concert took a lot of hard work and dedication from everyone involved. It was not only time consuming but tiring because the students had to prac- tice during school hours and also attend late night rehearsals. Besides rehearsing, students were required to sell various items to raise money for new robes and out of state concerts and competitions. Despite all the hard work, the students felt there were many positive aspects to being in choir. There were many reasons why the students chose vocal music as an elective. Kelly Kavenagh said she took it because she liked to be on stage. “1 like to sing and have been in a choir since second grade,” are the reasons Kris Bishop gave for elec- ting choir. Being in choir also gave the students a chance to meet many different people and develop close friendships. “I love to sing and I really enjoy being with a group that has so much fun performing,” commented Dawn Hughes. In addition to performing at the high school, the choirs went to nursing homes and Akron Children’s Hospital to lift the spirits of the residents. Although being in choir involved much effort and time, the students felt that all the hard work was worthwhile. Tawni Harlin commented, “I’ve gained friends and knowledge of music from being in choir.” Being able to use their talents in pleasing others seemed to supply the satisfaction necessary for all involved.

Vocal Music 77 Artists Undergo Change Hello Mr. Tener! After the retirement of Ron Simon, former Art department coor- dinator, the administration had to nominate a new leader. Mr. Raybuck made the deci- sion, and Dale Tener came out on top. “It was the administration’s decision . . . They picked me because I had the most ex- perience,” stated Tener. Also due to the departure of Mr. Simon, the administration had to recruit a new teacher. New on the block was Carole Wheeler with her eighteen years’ ex- perience at Bolich Middle School. With the semi-new staff set-up, a few other changes naturally took place. The Art department seemed more serious. Now, the course required more paperwork. In Studio Problems, a course for advanced students, the students had to do an independent study. The student was given a choice whether to write a comparison between two paintings or an extensive analysis of one particular painting. For evaluation, the stu- dent was asked how the elements of design were used, such as how color, line, shape, and pattern were stressed. Also the department had seemed to have a more productive year in the way of rewards. At the Art Scholastic Competition held at Kent State University, Falls High School students had received thirty-three honorable mentions, twenty-two gold keys, and nine blue ribbon winners. Those who won were John Halliwill, Michelle Jones, Chantelle Salandre, Eric Teyler, Mary Brock, Steve Fishel, Dave Harmon, Sandy Holata, and Megan Ohm.

Mike Clark and Tim Andrea are at work too. 80 Math Tight Angles Ail the new courses and testing pro- grams added up to the right angles for the math students. Three sections of PreCalc totaling about 50 students were offered for the first time. As a result of this new course, there will be one section of calculus in the ’88-’89 school year for those who want to continue the sequence. Computer Programming had its memory extended. Computer Programming I students used Commodore 128 computers while the Programming II hackers typed out their date on the Omegas. Both of these courses were new additions too. The Early Math Placement Test ad- ministered in November was an excellent vehicle for the college-bound students. The result showed them what courses they needed to select in math to meet the re- quirements of the chosen university based upon the major and minor they had chosen. The Ohio Board of Regents funded the pro- gram which was originally initiated by Ohio Slate University. A student need not have chosen a state university to receive the desired analysis. The final change in the curriculum con- cerned the sophomores. For those students who were classified as part of the enriched program, a course combining Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry was offered for the first time. Department Chairman, Mr. Joe Yeiser, said that as in any instance where a new program was instituted, there were some problems with the new offer- ings, but they are always always easily remedied. In terms of the enriched course, the instructors plan to spend less time on Advanced Algebra and to head to Trig sooner. Students are required to attend 'at least five labs worth a total of 100 points each grading period. Angela Jackson, like other students, knows that electing computer program- ming is a cheap way of finding out if they are interested in the computer field. Math 81 Doing it Write The focus of the year for the English Department was the establishment of the Writing Center. “A Writing Center is a special room within a school where peo- ple can go to receive personal assistance with their writing assignments, problems and projects. Its most important feature is the one-to-one tutoring students can receive from people who are not grading them,” said Mr. Jeff Love who was piloting the Writing Center program. Students could go to the center for help with college applications, term papers, speech outlines, or just for a quiet place to write. The center was offered for students during fourth period the first semester and sixth period in the second semester. “Once a student has tried the Writing Center, he or she is likely to return,” continued Mr. Love. He and other English faculty members spent several days during the year traveling to established writing centers in other school systems to evaluate their needs for equipment and techniques in order to make the Falls High program a success. Another important concern for the English Department was the competency tests given to the Freshman class in April. The students had a 30 minute period to write on a topic pre-selected by English staff. The papers were holistically evaluated by the ninth grade instructors. In addition, this was the first year for the change of term paper requirements in Expository Writing. Now, only four sources and 1000 word minimum were required instead of the original 1500 words and five sources. Students had mixed emotions on this subject. When Lisa Nemeth, looking beyond gradua- tion, replied, “It’s not really that much difference because you will still go over your limit. But I think in the long run 1500 words should be required, because in college you will have double this amount.” Bringing back the good ol’ days was a fun part of tenth grade American Literature and Culture class.

English 83 Handle With Care And Curiosity What was the only kind of course where a student was required to put his “hands on” creatures both living and dead? Science, naturally. The science department was very different from all of the other academic departments because it provided hands-on experience for the students. Add- ed to that was the fact that the science cur- riculum offered a wide selection of specialized electives such as Animal Behavior, Microbiology and many others. Students had the chance to participate in labs involving everything from chemicals to dissections to computers. Many changes were made during the past year to develop these courses. A two and a half year program for new microscopes and balances had been com- pleted, and new computers were pur- chased. Enriched sections of ninth and tenth grade science were added to the pro- grams. In the planning stages was the idea of adding an Earth Science class to the curriculum. The updated materials, new books and equipment illustrated the progress in the science taught as compared to long ago. In fact, in the early part of the twentieth cen- tury, physiology books were used for teaching. These contained only eight pages on the cell! Now, an entire course, such as microbiology, was devoted to cell study with books and labs covering various cells in depth. Lab work was the best part of a science class for many students. “If you actually do the work yourself, you learn more,” said Tom Helsel. Dennis Babb stated that per- forming the lab work was highly challeng- ing and enjoyable. No matter what, science courses took students beyond the textbooks and lectures.

Science 85 � I. I The Foreign “French was a romantic sounding language,” stated Emily Rainey when asked why she took French. Phil Woodard replied, “I fell that a foreign language would help me understand the English language better.” These opinions were shared by most of the other students. Part of the French curriculum was exposure to culture and history of France. They also went on various field trips, like the one the Central Howere High School to watch a Moliere play, done in both French and English. During the year the respective classes enjoyed a variety of French food and many slides of France itself. Although the students had a lot of fun, the main goal of Melinda Blank was, “to communicate with French people and to understand and realize that they are not much different that we are.” In its second year at Cuyahoga Falls High School latin has really caught on. The year started with strong support from all the students enrolled, mentioned latin teacher Bonnie Zurbuch. The focal point of the year according to Zurbuch was the roman Banquet a grand roman meal with authentic entertainment. Though the latin club is vastly different from most other foreign languages, interaction between the groups was enjoyed. Early in the year the respective classes had a challenge volleyball game in which the latin club fell from victory. Later, the Latin club came back with their own challenge volleyball game that brought the groups together once more. Throughout the year the Latin club and classes has done many afterschool fun activities.

Student Wendy Walters commented that, “German is a very interesting language,” Unfortunately, due to the levy that was not passed, German students could not go on field trips. Since the places they wanted to go to were outside of Summit County, bus scheduling problems hindered such excur- sions. Student Lisa Hensley said, “We didn’t go on any field trips because of the school levy,” Yet, some students just en- joyed the language itself as Brian Loeffler commented, “I love it. We have fun learn- ing German.” Just the fact that the students were experiencing another culture was fun in itself. Enthusiasm for Spanish class was evi- dent. When Spanish students were asked why they took Spanish the majority replied that they had heard it was fun. For in- stance, Leslie Romano stated, “1 heard Spanish was a fun language to learn,” Fun was what most of the students had during a field trip to Chi-Chi’s (a local Mexican restaurant) as Shawna Kuntz stated, “The Chi-Chi’s field trip made the whole year worth it!” Barb Hietz had the same opinion about the fun activities, she stated, “I like getting a break from bookwork to go and do something fun.” But Spanish class was not all food and fun. One student said, “It is something completely different from my other classes It makes me feel like I am ac- complishing something every time I learn something new.” ABOVE : Discussing the outcome of the volleyball game are Senora Olivera and Miss Rapes.

Foreign Language 87 More Than Friday-Little Theatre: was a com- ment often written on history room blackboards when it was “movie time.” Movies were what most thought of when remembering social studies classes. Even though the department rented many movies to view, there was more to the department than just MOVIE VIEWING. An advance- ment was made in the economics pro- grammer instance.Mr. Balogh,who teaches the Applied Economics class explained the new program as being more educational than last year’s because of new text books also, the program added a weekly guest speaker to discuss the current economic and financial status of today’s business world. It was further decided by the department that a second level course in Russian history called “Soviet Studies” was to be added to the department’s curriculum because of the increasing interest in our communist neighbor. Both the pre-requisite Russian history and Soviet Studies are taught by Mr. Reynolds. No matter what, it seemed everyone had an opinion about social studies. When asked her favorite historical period, Stacy Stouffer replied, “Around the time of Andrew Jackson when our nation was growing and not so much struggling to survive.” In sum- ming up her American history class. Heather O’Dell stated “ Our class is like one close family. We’re all very active in the class and the activities, so it makes the class more fun and interesting.” In looking at the school in general many were not only interested in school govern- ment, but government around the communi- ty. Fifteen students attended the Close-Up trip to Wrashington D.C . . . Faculty wise, Mr. Gerald Hupp social studies department chairman served as mayor of Munroe Falls, Mr. George Potts and Mr. Terry Ross served on the Fall’s City Council and Mr. Ralph Esposito was a councilman in Stow.

Social Studies 89 Bach to School in April!? No, it’s not a misprint! It really was “Back to School” in April for clergy, at- torneys, and administrators from throughout the city when they visited schools all over Cuyahoga Falls and acted as “guest teachers” for a day. On Tuesday, April 14, twenty-six of our community leaders visited the different buildings of the Cuyahoga Falls school system. There was at least one guest teacher in each school, from a classroom full of kindergarten children to senior students. “Back to School” is a statewide pro- gram. This, however, was the fist time the Cuyahoga Falls had ever participated. Mrs. Sharon Hessoun, of the Special Education Department, and vice-president of the Cuyahoga Falls Education Association headed the project and said the output was “extremely positive and should be repeated so that others could enjoy.” Here at Falls High, there were five visitors. Dr. Bruce Rothmann, a pediatric surgeon, taught in Miss Stoltz's science classes. School board member, Kathy Hummel taught Mr. Roth’s classes. Attorney, Jerry Leipply worked with Mr. Balogh. Carl Aquila, the marketing director of Falls General Hospital gave a multi-media presenta- tion to Mrs. Stofsick's classes, and Chief Prosecutor, Susan Durr taught three of Mrs. Brower’s classes: Expository Writing, Public Speaking, and American Literature. Mrs. Brower thought the program a “super way for the community to see their education system in action and to better understand why teachers con- sume volumes of aspirin, have chalk on their clothes, and wear orthopedics in their shoes!” “It definitely helps improve the image of the school and of the teaching profes- sion,” said Miss Stoltz, whose guest teacher Dr. Rothmann felt it was “fun to get back to a place I graduated from 45 years ago. It would be nice if everyone in the community could have this opportunity.” At the end of the school day a recep- tion was held in the high school library for all the participants in the area. The Ohio Education Association provided plaques, coasters and stationery com- memorating the occasion. OEA along with CFEA. split the cost of preparations such as postage and refreshments for the reception. The program accomplished what it set out to do in that it gave the Back to School participants a more positive im- age of our school system.

The Secret Is Out The questions were sometimes heard floating down the hallway, rumor mills dur- ing class changes. Who really was DECA? Or, what the heck was a DECA? And, for those who knew the answer, why was it kept such a secret? “We have the right to know!” others commented. Actually, DECA was not such a big secret. DECA stands for “Distributive Education Clubs of America.” In DECA, students learn leadership training and skills. Dave Harris said, “I have learned many valuable skills involving the business world and my career field. It is a type of class where you learn what you put into it.” Tricia Mclnnes won first place at the an- nual spring DECA contest and conference. Coming in second place were John Tebelak, Mike Bogdan, Tammy Hartung, and Debi Lehman. Each year the vocational programs have increased in number. There were eight pro- grams at Falls High that provided students with a large variety of job skills. The pro- grams offered at Falls High are auto mechanics, cosmetology, machine trades, diversified health occupations, marketing education, diversified cooperative training, computer accounting, executive secretary, and computer accounting. In addition, students had the opportunity to go to another high school to pursue a vocational training not offered here. Students went to Woodridge, Kent, Tallmadge, Hudson, or Stow to study electronics, early childhood development, restaurant management, and the newest program — polymer science and testing. This year 295 students were enrolled in the vocational education department. War- ren Anderson, the department chairman, said, “By being in a vocational education program, students are benefitted by gaining entry skills to their professional employ- ment, plus they receive a background for their college major.” Anderson also hoped that new programs would be added in the future. The facts were now clear. DECA and the other vocational education programs were alive and well. Vocational 93 Not dust Cookin Vocational Consumer and Homemaking courses are designed to help the students develop management expertise in combin- ing another job with the occupation of homemaking. All students in Home Economics par- ticipate for a minimum of 15 hours per semester in Individualized Extended Ex- periences (IEE) in addition to regular class work. These projects are approved by the teacher and parent or community super- visor, and they are closely related to class work. The IEE is an individualized experience which extends and reinforces class learning to enable the student to achieve the com- petencies for consumer roles and the oc- cupation of homemaking. There are not set numbers of IEE’s to be done by each stu- dent. Some may be long term and some may be short. The important point is that the student use the IEE to achieve com- petencies for the occupation of homemaker. Students receive Vs credit for semester courses, and 1-Vi credit for comprehensive year courses. Another unusual part of the curriculum is the GRADS class which is for the preg- nant student or for young parents. GRADS stands for Graduation, Reality, and Dual- Role Skills. Comprehensive Home Economics I is a year course which covers six general areas. Requirements for passing are completion of 30 hours of satisfactory Individualized Ex- tended Experiences projects, construction of a finished sew- ing project, preparation of foods, and decoration of a model room. Ninth graders like Kelly Dentici and her friend are eligible to sign up for four other courses during their sophomore year. ■ 94 Home Economics LEFT: Students learn that wedding is not just a fashion or gala occasion — it’s also planning, budgeting and financ- ing.

To some students, gym class was easy and they really en- joyed it. To others, it was hard and they dreaded going to gym because it just pulled down their grade point average. Not everyone was athletic so some students did not look forward to the choosing of teams. “Students who don’t do well in sports are always picked last and that’s not fair,” was one comment by a student on the practice of students choosing their own teams for gym class competitions. Physical Education teacher Mr. Kotys came up with one solution of picking teams to help even out the ratio of athletic to non-athletic students. He gave tests in certain sports and compiled a list of his students in order of how well they performed. Then he divided the teams by picking students from the top of the list then the bottom of the list, then top and bottom again. He did this until all of the teams were as even as possible. For students who really enjoyed physical education, an elective gym class called Lifetime Sports was offered. Students learned sports that would more likely be played in later years. Lisa Pogwizd said she enjoyed Lifetime Sports because, “We tried new and dif- ferent sports like golf, cross country ski- ing, and swimming. It wasn’t your basic gym class type sports.” It wasn't long ago that girls basketball wasn't recog- nized in interscholastic sports. Now it is taught in gym class.

Lending An Ear As Quester Scott Kleckner said, “We all need somebody.” But, during a time when everyone was in a rush to get things done, there wasn’t always the time to listen to a friend in need. One group that took the time to listen was Quest. Quest was a group of peer counselors taught in listening and counseling skills by Mrs. Kitty Stofsick. One project the Questers participated in was the Big Brother Sister program. After a semester of training, Questers were assigned to a little boy or girl from elemen- tary or middle schools to help them with their problems. As Mrs. Stofsick stated, “There are 21 kids doing the Big and Little Brother Sister program, so that shows a need for the ser- vice. It expands the counseling system. This way the kids can feel unconditional love, have a friend, and a role model.” Quest 97 Ar. 86 division 98 Industrial Arts Not All Work Students, both male and female, had a variety of courses to select in the Industrial Arts Curriculum. If they were considering the use of leisure time, the students could select Hob- by Crafts which was designed to teach the student to work with materials such as wood, leather, metal, glass, plastic and linoleum. Cabinetmaking was also a leisure time option but there was a prerequisite of completing Woodworking II first. In the area of “handyman-woman” courses were electricity, welding, auto mechanics, and woodworking.

Industrial Arts 99 100 National Honor Society itfore Than An ff ofi or What had 392 legs and could be found in the Little Theater on the third Tuesday of each month? Give up? National Honor Society was the answer. As a select organization, it based its entrance re- quirements on outstanding scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The monthly meetings were conducted almost entirely by the students. Mrs. Con- tessa, a third year adviser, commented that the main job of a NHS adviser was to basically advise the students and help the officers carry out their duties. Many students felt “honored” to be in NHS. Greta Myers stated that, “It (NHS) is a prestigious honor because all members are selected by a committee that judges your academic record as well as community involvement.” Also, Heather Justus felt that, “Being an NHS member is more than just an honor. It is something that will stay on our records all our lives to tell perspec- tive employers that we are reliable people.” However, there was more to NHS than just honor. Members were encouraged to sell candy sticks and lollipops to earn profit for the NHS scholarship. For each box of candy sold, a member received one chance in the scholarhsip drawing. Why would they go to all that effort? . . . for the honor, naturally. ABOVE: Monthly NHS meetings are run mainly by the officers.

Showing particular success were the basketball, wrestling, swimming and cross country teams. Actually, even without those specific successes. Falls had an over 70% winning average. The boys athletic program consisted of : football, cross country, basketball, wres- tling, swimming, track, baseball, soccer, golf and tennis, The girls’ sports were: volleyball, basketball, softball, swimming, track, cross country, golf, tennis, soccer and cheerleading. The program was not always so exten- sive . . . 102 Sports In 1920 the sports program consisted of only football, baseball, track, basketball and girls’ basketball. In those days, though, participation in intramural sports was stressed. Later, in the 20’s the sports program was expanded to include a number of girls sports. There had always been some form of an organized athletic program at the high school. The success of those programs, ac- cording to Athletic Director, Percy Grenfell, was due to dedication of students and coaches plus the support of the school and community over the years.

Stow While Halloween night was set aside for witches and goblins, few would have thought that the night was also reserved for the varsity gridders ... yet somehow it seemed to fit. It had been a bewitching season for the community, coaches and players alike. Early season hopes had disap- peared as injuries and losses continued to mount. Criticism was directed at the coaching, starting lineups, and the overall record. But... WE BEAT STOW. Halloween night, October 31, proved to be more of a treat than a trick for the gridders. Perhaps it was the roaring pep assembly in the morning, or the bonfire the night before. Maybe it was just that beating arch-rival Stow would redeem the season. Whatever it was . . . WE BEAT STOW.

Football What 9s In a name? Who would have thought that “j.v. foot- ball” would be an outdated term? With the introduction of two platoon football that was exactly what happened. Junior varsity players saw varsity action in addition to the traditional Saturday mor- ning games. Another advantage to the of- fensive defensive system was that the young players saw only one or two others on the depth chart at their positions. In previous years some positions had been five or six players deep. Commenting on the two platoon systems, head coach Bill Humble stated, “one of the main reasons for going to the platoon system was for the up and coming players. It was a building program.” From a players standpoint, the platoon- ing helped the team. Tailback Eric Thomp- son said, “I like the two platoon system because during games when the offense is not on the field we can all get together with the coach and work out the problems the opposition is facing us with.” “After a year of two platoon I feel ready for varsity year,” commented Mark Fugarino. With the j.v.’s having their best record in three years, the new system ap- parently worked. J.V.

To the rescue came Kevin Bennington, who had played on the varsity team the previous year. Coach Bennington said, “The reason I decided to coach was because I didn’t want to be out of the game since I was not playing.” About half the team had played together before in the middle schools or recreation programs, but the other half had to learn the game. “At first, they played uncontrol- led. Then, with practice, there was less confusion between themselves,” noted Bennington. “It was an up and down season,” com- mented Matt Brady, “but with the varsity players and Coach Bennington helping us out, it was a good season.” Freshman Soccer 109 Solving Problems Starting the soccer season,the varsity faced two major problems that had to be overcome — an inexperienced offense and numerous injuries. The offense was lead by the team’s leading scorer Jason Hall and the scor- ing runner-up Chris Leiby. “All of whom didn’t have much varsity time in the previous season,” commented Matt Tartaglia. “The defense was awesome,” said Tartaglia, a three year varsity player and also the leading scorer for the defenders. The defense was “The strongest part of the team. It was mostly seniors that played varsity before,” stated Steve Sebastian. Sabastian was the first four-year-letterman in the history of the school’s soccer program. During the season, the strikers developed another problem. As Jon Montague stated, “We have sustained many injuries during the season which caused problems with our ability to de- fend.” Yet, Tartaglia commented that “Due to all the injuries the defense played good enough to keep the team in the game.” One vital player injured during the season was goalie Sabastian, who dislocated his finger in practice and could not play goal. He was forced into the unusual role of playing in the field while he recuperated. Sabastian said, “I was happy to contribute something to the team during my injury and I enjoyed playing out on the field.” The season concluded with a record of 8-8-2. Hall was the leading scorer with six goals, and Sabastian had six shutouts. 110 Varsity Soccer LEFT: Watching the game carefully is Rob Rasmussen.

Beginning in the summer, most of the players attended a summer camp coached by the top col- legiate and professional players and coaches. Continuing on in the school year they practiced twelve and half hours per week. As records indicated, practice equalled their success. They had an overall record of 13-2-1. The leading scorer was Doug Kuhlke. Leading goalie was Todd Large. “The j.v. team is the most talented group of players that CFHS has ever had. They have all the potential to be state champions,” said Coach Bob Hall. Talent and teamwork were the main in- gredients. Bryan Casenhiser described the teamwork as, “All of us work together. No one is better than the other.” As coach Hall noted, “This group works together better than any group 1 have ever coached. Our success is because of this fact.” TOP: Congratulating each other after scoring a goal are ABOVE: The hours of practice must pay off in game con- Bryan Casenhiser, Steve Denning,and goalie Dave Huehins, ditions.

Soccer 113 Character Pays Ojf How did a volleyball team become Metro champs? How did they come to have a record of 18-3 during the regular season? For the varsity team talent and a dedication to the game led them to win. During the off season, the spikers played walleyball and had open gyms to keep in form. The girls started practicing for the season when they went to the Eastern Ken- tucky University volleyball camp at the end of July. Next came tryouts. Only 12 of 50 who tried out actually made the team. During the season, there were practices or games six days a week lasting up to three hours per day. All of this hard work and practice took perserverance. As Tracey Rowe stated, “Everyone had the attitude and desire to win.” What eke helped to contribute to the winning season? One aspect was fan sup- port. This was larger than usual because members from other sports at the school came to cheer the girk on to victory. In return for the support, the volleyball TOP: “It was a very good season. I think our record showed it! We were very close and when we won, we won as a team, when we lost, we lost as a team! We worked as a whole,” says Kellie Milush. RIGHT: Concentration shows on Tina Piscazzi’s face as she sets the ball to be spiked.

It was held in the cafeteria with punch and cookies. Asked about the fan support, Beth Snoddy replied, “I’m glad the students showed an interest. We didn’t want to let them down because we had to face them the next day.” Also, the unity of the team helped. As Danielle Wood stated, “It’s like a family, so it makes it easier to play.” Stability was added to the team by the leadership of the co-captains, Beth Snoddy and Tracey Rowe. The season ended with sectionals and districts. After receiving a bye in the first round, the girls captured the sectional title by beating Youngstown Boardman. Although they went down to defeat in districts to Salem, the team still had a season that payed off. Coach Kormendy summed up the season, “They never accepted defeat-they always played hard even when down and usually came back to win-that showed a lot of character on their part.” 114 Varsity Volleyball LEFT: As first year varsity player Mickey Dur- bin spikes the ball over the net, the other team ducks!

Gains Freshness With the changes in the team struc- tures, it was decided that the freshman squad would be cut from the lineup. Why, was the question asked of Mr.Per- cy Grenfell, athletic director. He ex- plained that in the district area there were not enough schools to make a schedule possible. The availability of freshman players was not the problem at Falls High. In fact, having too many available freshman players was the pro- blem because there were only twelve roster spots available. “Team requirements are dedication, enthusiasm, and 150% effort,” said Coach Gay Gindlesberger, j.v. coach for the second year after moving up from being an eighth grade volleyball coach at Roberts Middle School last year. “It’s rewarding to see the girls put their talents together and play as a team. And a very workable team at that,” she added. The team was made up of four freshman (1 player-manager), eight sophomores and one junior. The team’s hard work paid off when they tied for the Metro title with Stow and Tallmadge. Although volleyball has lost its freshman squad, the freshmen seem to be making up for it on the j.v. squad. 116 Junior Varsity Volleyball FAR LEFT: Leading server and server receiver Kim Meyer is tested for her determina- tion and concentration.

The squad, which originated in 1981, had the most successful season the team had ever played. “Having good players who are willing to work hard and will do what you ask ...” was how coach Ray Montgomery, who had coached the team since it began, attributed their success. Fourth year member Wendy Elkins and third year member Karen Eggers led the team with victorious seasons. Elkins, who had a 21-5 overall record, won the first place title in the number one singles at the Metro meet. Eggers, whose overall record Up A.ccs was 16-7, placed second with first doubles partner Michelle Hutchison at the same meet. The second doubles team of Sandy Izsanyi and Dawn Hughes also placed first in the Metro League. Second singles player Amy Liikala tried to sum up the team’s formula for success. “We had experience . . . and as a team we were mentally tough. We got together and boosted each other . . . more than any other year, we were more like a team,” she explained. Third year netter Iszanyi spoke for the rest of the team when she said the season was very special to her because of the team’s success. She said the high point of the season was the championships because, “We’ve never won a Metro title before.” LEFT: Karen Eggers attributes the success of her doubles partnership with Michelle Hutch- ison to experience.

Getting Better All The Time The j.v. tennis team had a lot going for them. They were compatible, because most had played together previously. Liz Case said, “We’re just like a bunch of good friends. If one per- son is down we all try to boost her spirits.” The girls had a winning season, but most of all they had FUN! The team started two weeks before school, which was a very short time because the first week they developed skills and made cuts. This was the first time cuts had been made for the tennis team. Sharon Calloway, a first year player, said, “It felt really good to know I made the team because some seniors who tried out didn’t make it.” When Michelle Sprouse found out she made the team, she said, “I was relieved! I felt really lucky and excited to be on the team for a second year.” Mrs. Pollock, the four year coach, said the team met her expectations for the season because they progressed in their skills and played better each match. “She was a realy good coach and helped us with improving our skills,” said Jennifer Wnoroski. The team did improve with the help of leading players, Liz Case, Lori Milo, Julie Johnson, and Linda Hoover. At the end of the season, the girls finished with a record of 15 wins and 6 losses.

How could they compete with no seniors and no players with previous varsity experience? With such young players, the answer was to redefine the requirements for suc- cess. “Our goals this year were to learn how to play under competitive conditions and to gain valuable experience for the future. I believe the team did accomplish these goals,” stated Coach Dan Costill. The highlight of the season was winning the Tiger Invitational Tournament. Jerry Hissen, team co-MVP and Leadership Award winner, recalled, “I was the last one in and sank a ten foot putt that tied it.” After the closest opponent dropped back a stroke, the victory was wrapped-up. Two freshmen also played roles in the team’s growth. Jason Vitas was named co- MVP, and Chris Ulrich netted the lowest varsity average.

Making Tap Ten A group of fourteen started training as early as August 11th. Running an average of five to six miles a day was a rough workout for the young team. Taking prac- tices seriously, four runners attended runn- ing camps over the summer. Coached under mentor Rich Fechter, coach for the past five years, the girls’ cross country team entered the season with “a team goal of winning the Metro title for the third con- secutive year in a row,” said Coach Fechter. Led by All-Metro runners Danielle Emerick, Lori Ornowski, Niki Sladky, Cindy Smith, and Sandy Syfer, winning the Metro became possible. The team’s largest goal of the year was to qualify for the state meet. After march- ing through the Metro, destroying every team in the District, and runing through the Regionals, the girls’ cross country team had earned a slot at the state meet held in Columbus. Sending eight runners down, seven of them starters (and one an alternate), the team wanted to finish at least in the top ten in the slate. After a long day at the track, and plenty of hard running, the team managed to fulfill all of its goals. The lady runners came in at exactly number ten on the charts (the scorekeepers, anyway). The overall success of the season was due to a “total team effort,” stated Coach Fechter, “Everybody contributed.” LEFT: Team Co-captain Lori Ornowski contributes much to both cross country and to the track team. Girls’ Cross Country 125 Ahead of the Rest In addition to the endurance of heat ex- haustion, sweat, grueling weather, and leg cramps; nicknames and superstitions were what made the cross country team unique. To insure a good race,most of the cross country team would be found with their feet in the air when crossing railroad tracks or wearing safety pins for good luck. Nick Marsico was one of the few guys on the team that didn’t lift his feet and said, “I have no superstitions. I just believe in con- centration and hard work.” Making up nicknames for eachother helped to pass the time during the punishing hours of practice so occasionally a spectator, during a race, might have heard “Go after him Mad Dog!” (Randy Phelps) or “Oh no . .. It’s Mr. Bill!” (Neil Chaney). Another contributing factor to the team’s successful season was their intelligence. The grades of the varsity team for their en- tire high school career averaged 3.5, which was one more reason for the team to be proud. They were academically smart, which resulted in unyielding dedication. Cross Country didn’t interfere with the run- ners’ grades, but, in fact, helped some peo- ple. Chris Wilcoxin admitted that, “Cross Country is bringing vp my grades, because if you want to run you have to have good grades.” The recently adopted academic eligibility requirements for athletes made such concern for grades necessary. When asked what thoughts entered their minds while running in practices and pushing themselves in races, several team- mates said, “Why am I doing this to myself?” This question was easily answered with the first place trophy won in the Metro League meet, the second place title earned in the district meet, and the realistic goal of competing in the state meet. The day before districts, John Halliwill expressed his enthusiasm by say- ing, “The way I see it, it’s only 6.2 miles to Columbus!” The Cuyahoga Falls boys’ cross country team was formed in 1960-61 by Mr. Hank Pizarski, who was also it’s only coach until six years ago when Mr. Vanderlin took over. Coach Vanderlin led the team to its best season,ever,during the ’86-’87 school year. TOP RIGHT: It doesn’t matter what place you are in, every second counts.

The appearance of the game was drastically different in its early years. Originally, there were nine women to a side, each confined to a limited area. Within a few years, however, the structure of the team evolved into six women sides with three guards who stayed at one end of the court for defense and three for- wards at the other end to shoot. Neither the forwards or guards were permitted to cross the half-court line without drawing a penalty. In the early game dribbling was prohibited, but later rule changes made the game less restricted. First, the women were per- mitted to bounce the ball once before passing or shooting. Then, by the 1950’s players were given two bounces. Finally, in the 1960’s, three bounces were allowed. As far back as 1925 women at Cuyahoga Falls High School had been involved in intramural basketball, but it was not until the governments Title IX funding requirements in 1970 that women’s interscholastic sports pro- grams increased in size and populari- ty. The present five woman team for- mat was adopted in 1970. The girls game looked like and was played like Dr. Nesmith’s original concept. TOP LEFT: Tina Sellers played both varsity and junior varsity.

Working Toward Victory There are a lot of girls who can play well and there is a lot of defensive talent,” said Coach Marousch, of the j.v’s, proving the girls had plenty going for them. The team had to work hard to reach their goals set at the beginning of the season, even though they had many skills and talents working for them. The main goal of the varsity Lady Tigers was to continue last year’s win- ning season. Although the girls worked hard, they were younger than past teams. This made the season more challenging because the players didn't take charge as much as older teams, stated Coach Jones. Aside from working well together on the court, the team was compatible off the court as well. Theresa Berg com- mented about the j.v. and varsity teams, “When we are playing we encourage each other.” Another example of their togetherness was stated by a varsity player, “Before the game I am nervous, but after I am with my teammates they help me over my fear by cheering me on.” The varsity girl’s finished in second place in the Metro League. Although they had to work harder than expected, the effort proved to be worthwhile. Girls’ Basketball 131 Frosh Flourish The Frosh basketball team flourished this year as the Cuyahoga Falls Boy’s Basketball team compiled an outstanding record of 12-5. Likewise, the Falls Girl’s Team had a successful overall record of 8- 5. What unified the success of both teams? The answer was simply: TEAM SPIRIT. The biggest accomplishment for the Boy’s basketball team was coming back and beating the teams they had lost to earlier in the season. For example, the Freshman Squad beat both Stow Kimpton and Kent Roosevelt after losing to them earlier in the season. According to Coach Bailey, “This team’s success was due to their hard work and their never-say-die attitude.” The Girl’s Basketball team had a very successful season. The 15 players pulled together and worked as a TEAM. Although they lost 3 of the first 4 games games of the season, they went on to win all but one of the remaining games. So, the successful records of both freshman teams were evidence enough of r the season’s hard work, determination, and of course, TEAM SPIRIT. 132 Freshman Boys’ Basketball FAR LEFT: The Boy’s Freshman Basketball team.

Hustling Attitude “Team Hustle” would have been an appropriate nickname for the j.v. cagers. With everyone working hard together and the emphasis on keeping a positive attitude, the team continued to play with intensity every game noted Coach Mike Vukovich. As early as tryouts, players were evaluated according to ability and at- titude. In fact, final cuts were based chiefly on attitude. The emphasis was on selecting players who would have a positive influence on the program. This year was the first year at Falls High as j.v. coach for Vukovich. He entered the season with plenty of per- sonal experience with basketball, from playing at Akron University to a previous coaching position at Kenmore High. Summing up his view on coaching at Falls, Vukovich stated, “It’s exciting to watch a young man mature not only on the court but off the court as well. Hopefully, sports provides discipline that will eventually help them succeed in life.” As an overall view on the relationship between players, Ron Carrell said. We get along very well! Everybody con- tributes to each game. In practices and games, everyone is always trying to do better. The whole team plays, no matter if we win or lose. But no matter if we win or lose, we keep on trying.” JV Basketball FALLS OPPONENT 43 Copley 33 53 Springfield 30 51 Stow 34 48 Tallmadge 26 65 Ravenna 27 47 Firestone 46 42 East 41 45 North 42 49 Barberton 58 53 Nordonia 32 41 K.

Basketball 135 Buck in the Bluck It felt good ... it really did — all season long. The crowds were back; they must have heard the Tigers were “BACK IN BLACK.” The names of Jamerson (Tom), Humble (Kevin), and Sebastian (Steve) and their cohorts echoed off Metro League gym- nasium walls as opponent after opponent fell in their wake. It was a hard court season like few others — a major success. Not since 1954 had the varsity cagers, not only convincing- ly captured their league championship with 20 wins to only 4 losses, but advanced so far in state tournament competition. District championship game ... a time to let the area know the tigers were on the prowl. A minute to go — tie score, 50-50! Fallsites under the age 30 had never been this close. The final score slid to 53-57 as Barberton magically snatched a gut- wrenching victory from the young Falls Cage team. Still, it wasn’t over . . . From Jamerson’s last jump to Coach Roger Cramer’s clenched white towel — one thing was clear — Falls High basket- ball was “BACK IN THE BLACK” where it belonged!

It was the 1962-1963 school year, and Knight was hired to coach the j.v. cagers and teach Problems Of Democracy. This followed his Ohio State career, where he played on the 1960 national championship team. After one year here, he moved on to West Point as Army’s coach. Later, Knight became the widely- known coach of the Hoosiers of In- diana University. Three national championships soon followed. Coupled with his success at I.U. was a victorious stint as coach of the U.S. team in the 1984 Olympics. His coaching success should have come as no surprise to peo- ple in Cuyahoga Falls. We still recalled his first year’s record, 13 wins to only 3 losses — naturally. LEFT: What do basketball and football have in com- mon? Kevin Humble, who is a member of both teams.

They had to rely on each other and their abilities in order for the team to win. Teamwork, that was the answer. Long hours of hard work and dedication, was the key to it all. Practice usually started at 6 AM and ended by 7:30 at the Natatorium. “It made for a long day, but it all paid off in the end.” said Linda McCready. It also paid off for the nine swimmers who went to the Districts, held in Canton. The team placed third at that meet and also earned their most points ever in District Composition. The members of the team proved all their hardwork and dedication by pulling together and winning 10 meets. ABOVE: “The year of ihe Beast” This year’s theme for swimming.

The team consisted of eight divers. Despite having no seniors, four out of eight of the divers qualified for District competition. These four were Tina Piscazzi, Christy McFadden, Jackie Ma- jereik and Chris Neil. McFadden placed 14th out of 48 divers. When asked about her ranking, McFadden replied, “1 was not pleased with how I per- formed, but just being at Districts is a great feeling watching the best and com- peting with them.” Districts were held February 27 and 28 at Canton McKinley. McFadden also scored the highest number of points in a meet in the history of the school.

Mr. Brubach explained, “The wres- tling teams record for the past six years, this being the best, has improved.” Their Coach wasn’t afraid to talk about it. He said, “The seniors were really outstanding. Their records were unbelievable.” At the end of the season the seniors compiled for the year turned out 88 wins and 30 losses. The team took third place at the Copley Tournament, fifth at Districts (which qualified six guys for Regionals), fourth in Regionals, and Stan “Iron Man” Rhodes made it to the State Tour- nament in Columbus, March 13-15. He look third place in the 126 pound weight class. The varsity wrestling team dealt with the mental and physical demands and came out on top. Now, that was something to talk about!

How did 25 guys fit into 13 singlets? They took turns! The wrestling coaches ex- plained at the Winter Sports Banquet that it was important for everyone on the team to have a chance to participate because players learn from experience. When asked what were some con- tributing factors that led the junior varsity wrestling team to a successful 10-1 season. Brad Hoover emphasized, “That it cer- tainly wasn’t school spirit and support!” Pre-season scrimmages helped the J.V.’s with their wrestling skills and prepared them for upcoming matches. Also, scrim- mages helped the new wrestlers get an idea of what matches were like.” Mark Musitano stated, “Coach Muster gets us going in practice and works us hard so we do well in meets.” In addition to their dual meets, the j.v. team participated in two tournaments. They placed fifth in the Hudson Tournament and sixth in the Firestone Tournament. Ac- cording to Coach Muster, season leaders included: Brian Davis, best overall record; Gary DeRemer, best dual meet record; Tom Cossin, most escapes; J. R. Jones, most reversals; and Mark Musitano, most takedowns, nearfalls, and pins. The M.V.P. trophy was presented to Mark Musitano at the Winter Sports Banquet. By the season’s end there still weren’t many uniforms, but the wrestlers were up to their headgear in experience.

For the Final fall pep assembly the girls tried to build excitement for that night’s Stow-Homecoming game. They also “at- tempted” to teach the senior football players one of the dance routines.

Coach Dale f Hartwig stated, “I enjoy working with all tennis players.” One goal that Hartwig had for this tennis team was to improve over the entire season and to repeat last year’s Metro League title or at least place second. When the players were asked their favorite memory, Mike Clarke noted, “When I defeated one of the top players in Akron.” Another player, Jim White, commented, “My favorite memory was finally making the varsity team and then winning the Metro title last year.” Some of the players also admired profes- sional players. For instance, Don Pfeiffer really liked to watch Ivan Lendl, who he felt was one of the best to ever play the game. No matter whether team members listened to their coaches’ instructions or imitated pros on T.V., their goal was the same — to get ahead in this “racquet.” TOP LEFT: Michele Gagliardi bends low to make sure ihe ball doesn’t get through.

The J.V. softball team had a winning season with 20 wins and 5 losses. The team practiced five days a week, two hours each day, but it all paid off in one major highlight victory. “The best thing about our whole season was beating arch-rival Tallmadge,” said Michele Eleo.

Many ingredients went into making a strong defense for the varsity softball team. Some of the ingredients according to some of the team players were the team working together, strong leadership, versatility of the players, and an initiative to win. Missi Worts showed the willingness of the members to work together when she said, “I think the team gets along good. We play as a team, and we put aside our differences (if any) when we play our games.” The ingredient of strong leadership was supplied by co-captains Shelly Hamlin and Lisa Pogwizd. Asked how she felt about leading the team Hamlin replied, “I felt very honored — we had a lot of good players and it felt good to be their captain.” Also, versatility was attributed to the team’s defense by Missi Worts, “Our defense has a lot of depth to it. Everyone can play at least two positions exceptionally well. The coach can move around players without being in any jeopardy.” Initiative was supplied to Michelle Rowland during a game when a coach from another team called her a crybaby.

One of the setbacks was the lack of umpires. Because of this, they weren’t able to play four of their twenty scheduled games. In addition, there were only three juniors on the baseball team. The three juniors and the younger players pulled together and had a “never-say- die attitude” according to outfielder Eric Thompson. One aspect that the players “did on their own” was to get psyched for game time. Center- fielder Emmet Brady noted, “I get psyched for the game by putting myself in game situations before they happen.” Other players had more original approaches like pitcher Dave Cross, who said, “I get psyched for the game by listen- ing to Bon Jovi and thinking about the glory of winning.” Summing up a “never-say-die” attitude up best was Eric Thompson who remarked, “I en- joy playing for Falls because it helps me to learn important values such as team work, good sportsmanship, and dedication.” TOP: “My goal for the season was to improve my pitching so that hopefully I could get a scholarship to O.S.U. (Ohio State University),” commented pitcher Troy Glenny. LEFT: Catcher first baseman Greg Ward felt that one of the team’s strong points was “how well we got along with each other. That leads to playing better as a team.” J.V. Baseball 155 Unity Scares What qualities were needed for a baseball team to be successful? Some people thought proper batting technique, as well as a strong defense, but asking the varsity baseball team brought the response, “TEAM UNITY!” Mike Jenkins, shortstop for the varsity team said, “As individual talent goes, we’re not that blessed, but it’s the team unity that wins the games for us.” Every unified team needs a leader and this season’s leader was co-captain Rick Hardy who was chosen as “the most admired player” by his fellow teammates. Mark Evans commented, “I most admire Rick Hardy. Not only is he an excellent baseball player, but he is also an outstanding leader.” Each season the baseball players set goals to improve themselves as individuals and as a team. For example, some players wanted to im- prove their batting average, or make themselves all-around better players. On the other hand, the goal of many members of this team was to win the Metro League and State Titles. But in the long run, it’s the TEAM that makes the season successful! _ TOP: Playing his second year on the learn, Mike Jenkins enjoys playing baseball because, “Baseball at Falls has a winning tradition.” Also pictured is one of the assistant coaches, Joe DiCeroloma.

Having close to 70 members on the roster during the first Monday in March when the regular practices started, the team slimmed down to fifty members. An added event was the 300-meter in- termediate hurdles. Jim Welfley established a school record in this event with a time of 42.1 seconds. Throughout the season, the team was plagued by injuries. Despite the injuries the team managed to pull off a second place finish in the Metro-League. According to Coach Klein the strength of the team seemed to be in the distance events. In fact, one member qualified for All-Metro honors. That was Randy Phelps who ran in the 800 and 1600 meter events. Coach Klein stated, “The season has been rewarding because of the fact that the team members have been picking up slack for each other.” Falls 90 49 3rd 9th 31 110 92 1st 83 9th 10th 2nd Boys T rack Opponent Ravenna Hudson Stow Hendrick’s Relays Medina Relays Kent Springfield Nordonia Garfield Invitational Tallmadge Rough Ridet Orange Bowl Relays Metro 5-2 42 73-40 Boys' Track 159 BOTTOM LEFT: In his second yenr nl lhe shol discus, Rick Ray has become one of lhe team's “strong men.” BOTTOM RIGHT: Winding up to throw the disc is Marc Canterbury.

They run without the reward of meets. But without hard practices, the team could not be undefeated. At practice, the team splits up into three sections — shot, sprinters and distance run- ners. These groups stayed separate throughout practice and concentrated on their individual goals. Being close with teammates and the coach made the work a lot easier. A team member stated that, “Coach Fechter is really fun and he knows how to coach.” Everyone on the team was there because they loved to run. They all wanted to win, so there was a full team effort in every meet according to team members. To get psyched for meets, the team sat down and talked about their goals. Each girl was supposed to then strive for her goal and give 100 percent. The highlights of the season were winning the Falls Relays and defeating Buchtel. After working hard in practice and getting psyched before the meets, the girls track team ended with a successful season, finishing undefeated.

There were many activities in which to participate; although there were a few restrictions, students probably had more freedom around school that they took for granted than students in the past realized. There were many privileges; parking passes, the designated smoking area, and permission to leave school grounds during lunch-which many schools don't allow. Students could even dress pretty much as they pleased, providing they abided by a few guidelines noted in the Student Hand- book: “Wearing apparel or hair styles which jeopardize the health, safety, or welfare of the individual students or which are clearly disruptive or detrimental to the educational climate of school, will not be permitted.” There were also a few suggestions for good social behavior, but nothing like what was seen in the past. . .

Courtesy rules for a student in study hall were to refrain from whispering or loudly chewing gum at study tables, not pass notes and not have other people pass them for you, not leaving study halls unless absolutely necessary, to try to keep himself supplied with enough materials so it was not necessary to borrow from others. One particular suggestion for courtesy in halls would never stand up to- day! “Walk no more than double file.” Try picturing that in the main hallway during Why, in 1872, even teachers were given strict rules. Teachers each day were to fill lamps and clean chimneys . . . After ten hours in school, teachers were allowed to spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books . . . Men teachers could take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they went to church regularly . . . Women teachers who married or engaged in unseemly conduct would be dismissed. And we thought we had it bad?!

Strictly small town, said the middle-aged alumnus of an Akron high school, as a group of us reminisced about our high school days on New Year's Eve, 1986. In the Akron alum's view, we were behind the times, naive, packed in cotton-wool, secure in our Norman Rockwell village of comfortable homes on boulevards shaded by stately elms. The gentleman has a point; Cuyahoga Falls was a small town. But, America was a collection of small towns in January, 1948, when my classmates and I first trudged up the curving walk to the red-brick high school that set 'way back from Fourth Street. Just seventy-six of us met in the Falls High auditorium that snowy morning nearly forty years ago to pick up our yellow class schedules, hand-written, in ink. We were few in number and known as “young people. not “teen- agers, that term had yet to catch the adver- tisers' fancy. Besides, we had little spending money and so had yet to be a “market. The only coke we knew anything about came in a glass, cost a nickel, and for a penny more, the soda jerk would add a flavor, chocolate, cherry, or lemon. Ask us to define “single-parent families, “fast food, or “interstates, and you would have drawn blank stares. Very few mothers worked outside the home; mine was an exception. Marian Palmer Harding taught in Akron before 1 was born. When I entered Grant grade school, so did Mom, to teach English. My father, Joseph W. Harding, had just begun his third two-year term as Mayor of Cuyahoga Falls my freshman year. After school, I sometimes went down to “Mair Jewelry, Appliance, and Records to listen to the latest 78 rpm recordings by Perry Como, Vaughan Monroe, or Jo Stafford. Then I would stop by Dad's office in the creaky old red-brick City Hall on the northwest corner of Broad Boulevard and Front Street to get a ride home. 1948 was a presidential election year and, on October 11, the Falls High Marching Band, all fifty-one of us, saluted President Harry S. Truman with “Ruffles and Flourishes, and “Hail to the Chief, when he appeared on the platform of his campaign train. Then we escorted the president to the Akron Armory. In our sophomore year, the Berlin Airlift defeated the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. From early in our freshman year, cargo planes had con- tinuously shuttled in and out of Tempelhof Air- field, bringing the Berliners food and all other necessities of life. Mid-way through our junior year, in the summer of 1950, the Korean “police action got underway. By spring of our senior year, U.S. troops had invaded North Korea. Each summer brought another polio epidemic, closing fairs and swimming pools; the Sabin and Salk vaccines were in the future. Our local movie theaters, the Ohio, on State Road where Hilarities is now. the Falls, on the F'ront Street Mall, ran double features (two full length motion pictures), a cartoon, and a newsreel. Admission was a quarter, popcorn cost a dime. When we were in 9-A, Cleveland got its first television station, which broadcast in black and white less than ten hours daily. Few homes had sets our freshman and sophomore years; a table model with a ten inch screen cost $300 in 1948, prohibitive for many budgets. By the time we graduated, however, in January, 1952,Cleveland boasted three stations and “Just the facts. Ma'am, from the popular police drama, “Dragnet, was the current catch-phrase. A late-night TV show, “Broadway Open House, featuring band leader Jerry lister and a statuesque, practically mute blond named Dagmar, contributed “George and “Real George to our vocabulary, the former indicating something good or pleasing, the lat- ter, an extraordinarily good or pleasing thing. Eventually, television homogenized small town life, bringing national brands, stores, and fast food chains onto the local scene. Not in our high school days, though. Substantial homes still occupied the State Road “Strip when a couple of World W ar II vets opened “Jimandy’s Sandwich Shop at the southwest corner of Broad Boulevard and State Road. Another popular west side hangout, the “B and B, located where the Ponderosa parking lot is now, dished up ten-cent orders of french fries that, today, only Mac Donald's comes close to equall- ing. A few blocks from the high school, the “Tiger Den, across from the Methodist Church on Portage Trail, was a popular spot to meet your friends and dance. After a football or basketball game we headed for Kippy’s on F'ront Street, or F'rench's, at the northeast cor- ner of Portage Trail and Second. If, by some miracle, a car became available, we piled in and went to Swenson's Drive-In on Cuyahoga Falls Avenue. Few high school students owned cars. We took the bus, or we walked. Mostly, we walked, and so our hangouts were confined to the Falls, with the exception of Swenson's. Girls could play in the band or orchestra, but not in sports. There was no girls basketball team, nor softball, nor volleyball, nor swim- ming, nothing. Nobody played soccer, that sport had yet to be introduced in this country. Occasionally, a boy wore denim trousers to school, more often the fabric was wool, cor- duroy, or gabardine; no synthetics, “permanent press did not exist. Girls had “blue jeans and wore them rolled precisely to the knee, but never, ever, to school. There, it was skirts and sweaters, skirts and blouses and vests, skirts and blouses and sweaters. Long skirts, reaching almost to our white bobby sox, which we carefully folded to puff at the ankles, just above our saddle shoes or penny loafers. One year, the long skirts flared, buoyed by yards of crinalin petticoats. The next year, we wore pencil-slim skirts topped by frilly, “Gibson Girl blouses whose puffy “leg-o-mutton sleeves narrowed at the wrist. Some of these skirts were so narrow they inhibited ones stride, a hazard if you were in the marching band. F'or a time, ankle bracelets supposedly indicated the wearer was someone's “slave. Later, a girl would wear her “steadies big, clunky I.D. bracelet — after removing some links to pre- vent its falling off her wrist. In 10-A, we ordered jackets in our class colors, blue and gray. The June, 1952, class jackets were maroon and grey. The only combination pro- hibited: black and gold, the school colors. Our age group fell between the generational cracks, too young to scream over F'rank Sinatra, too old to Ik mesmerized by Elvis Presley. Born in the depths of the Great Depression, we spent our primary school years in the Second World War and began high school just as the Cold War began to gel hot. We did not recall serious matters as we reminisced last New Year's Five, but sounds of another time: The giggly chatter at the lockers as we goi ready for first period class, the thick silence during finals, the rhythmic “hush, hush, hush of the bands- men's feel as we marched along Oak w ood Cemetery's gravelled paths on Memorial Day. It seems to us now our freest time; it did not seem so then, nor does it to any generation. — by Priscilla M. Harding Class of '52 I 176 Seniors Give He a Break March 20, 1987, 2:55 p.m. The crowd- ed halls were filled with shouts of anticipa- tion of the upcoming weeks of festivities. From the crowded beaches of Daytona to the peace and quiet of West Branch. “Although it rained for four days, Daytona was packed with college and high school students out to have a good time. And a good time was definitely had by all of us seniors who partied in Daytona,” stated Chris Angellata and Rob Lemke. “It wasn’t necessary to spend $500.00 and drive hundreds of miles to have a good time. I drove 20 miles, spent $3.00 a night, and went camping. There wasn’t any rain and I don’t think I would have had any more fun in Florida — well maybe,” said Aimee Hubbard who spent her spring break in the wilds of West Branch. Although Florida definitely seemed to be the hot spot for Spring Break this year, there were still those who enjoyed the weather in good ol’ Cuyahoga Falls! Fun could still be had at home. “The weather was really nice, and it was great to get away from the constant burden of school. We didn’t have to go to Florida to be in the sun, we just bummed around the Falls in the 70° sunny weather and had a blast,” noted Ray Leiter and Erick Poston. Hardly Common Walking into the cafeteria, one saw quite an unusual sight. It was not the portrait of an ordinary study hall for students were sitting together at tables and talking among themselves. However, it did not resemble a “normal” class either. There was something different about it. Entitled “Senior Commons,” it was a study hall for seniors only. During any period of the day, these students could be found talking or studying with their friends. Food was also available from the vending machines. Helen Mergl stated that, “I think that senior commons gives people the opportunity to relax during a very hectic day in class.” Ready to dive into a piping hot pizza are: Monica Schmitt, Greta Myers and Jean Lewis. During lunch periods, some students bring food from area fast food eateries. Mr. Pivarski, Mrs. Burridge and Mr. G. Roth make up the senior unit team. Class Officers are Andy Pocock, Teri Salmon, and Melinda Blank and Mona Ewing. Some students choose to sleep instead of eat in the commons. Seniors 177 Julia Adams John Albertson Wade Albertson THE Eating Place The senior’s favorite place to eat . . . Taco Bell on State Road. While not as hot or expensive as Chi Chi’s, it was the place to be after “going out.” Out of all the other area places to eat, why did seniors select Taco Bell? “It seems to be the place for the younger crowd. We enjoy, the atmosphere and LOVE the food,” said Michele Fair. Not only was it a place for after going out but it was also frequented by seniors during their lunch period. The seniors weren’t the only ones who went to “The Bell,” juniors also ate there. “The good’s different than just plain ham- burgers,” noted Wendy Hause. Wendy, who worked at the popular State Road restaurant named the top selling items as soft tacos and burritos. “Rushes of people come in every Friday and Saturday night after seven,” she said. It was definitely the place to be.

Late in January rumors were brewing about this year’s yearbook. Petitions were written and submitted to the book’s advisors. Among the many complaints were, “Senior pictures would be smaller,” “Certain sports were not covered,” and “Some performing groups were ig- nored,” to name just a few. Along with the complaints about the yearbook, seniors also protested the removal of the Tigerettes due to objections of some members of the community and faculty. At the end of the scheduled pep rally, seniors briefly demonstrated on the gym floor to show their opposition to both. The administration, however, decided that a pep ral- ly was a place to display school spirit, not protest. After informing their principal, Mr. James Pivarski, of their views, seniors moved on the seventh period class.

Located across from the Kent State University campus the Robin Hood offered a chance for those eighteen and over to mingle with college students and to get a taste of their fun. This was the incen- tive for most students. “I enjoy getting into the college scene and away from high school students,” said one senior. The Robin Hood had other attractions too, such as pool tables and a dance floor. Many kids, however, weren’t old enough to get in, legally, and had to turn to other areas for entertainment. Seniors were always hard pressed for new and exciting places to go. But if all else failed, there was always the old stand by (and runner-up for favorite), the Graham Road McDonald’s. You could always find some of your friends at the Golden Arches on Friday and Saturday nights.

Many chose “Crocodile Dundee” as their favorite. Several other picked the ridiculous humor of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” Yet, when it came down to the senior’s favorite, the plurality chose “Platoon.” The story, which was set in 1967 in Vietnam, depicted the life of a young enlisted man as he experienced the cruel reality of war. Why was this movie so popular instead of one of the numerous comedies? Shawn Nichols said, “It’s about time a movie came out that showed what war was really like, rather than the Rambo-style where he just waves his gun and fifty people fall dead.” “We finally got a realistic point of view on something we’ve heard about all our lives but have never been able to truly understand,” commented Sherri Klemm. Perhaps watching “Platoon” in its en- tirety gave more meaning to the words of Ecclesiates with which the movie was begun, “0 rejoice, young man, in they youth,” for afterwards, Klemm stated, “It brought out emotions that aren’t often seen.” Dave Leigh remarked,“If all that was in this movie was true, I can understand why people have problems coming back from there (Vietnam).” Shawn Nichols added, “I was in a state of shock!” For whatever their reasons; the informa- tion, the feelings, or the enlightenment of reality, “Platoon” was the Seniors’ favorite.

Phil Collins came to Cleveland January 25-27 and played at three sold out concerts at the Richfield Coliseum with the group Genesis. Cleveland received national recognition when that Genesis concert was broadcast from the Coliseum live on T.V. for the network coverage of the American Music Awards. Whitney Houston, likewise, was once again voted as the favorite female vocalist of the senior class. Whitney has had hit songs such as “Greatest love of all,” “You give good love,” “Saving all my love for you,” and “How will I know.” “Whitney Houston has blossomed into a very talented and admired pop artist,” stated Silvana Finelli. 184 Seniors Michelle Homback James Howdyshell Aimee Hubbard Vicky Huber Kim Hummel Shane Hunter Tammy Hupp Ralph ImhofT Jennifer Jacobs John Jamerson Tom Jamerson Robert Jenkins Lisa Johnson Shayne Johnson Michelle Jones Donald Jovich Jill Jurkoshek Heather Justus Kim Keen Darrin Kennedy Heather Kennemuth Greg Kerr Jill Kiley John Kilway Wanda Kime Adona King Sharon Klemm Jill Klingensmith Sherry Knoblock Greg Koly Seniors 185 Krcgg koudela Molly Kuhlke Fred Kemtz Shawna Kuril David Ijicy I .ana Lalos Rick Landaker Kim I jm sherry John LaPorte Michelle l.arge Ben Lauback Mike l.aubacker Joanna Lauck Marcie Laughlin Robert Lay Gary Leap Debi Lehman Jospeh Lehncr David Leigh Ray Leiter Robb Lemke Tracy Lepkowski William Lerch Jean Lewis Christie Lightner Susan Lindsly Lynette lischak Jayne Ix hr Christina Lucien Mansa Lukesic Robert Lukoaavich Stephon Lynons Jackie MacClellan Michael Major Robert Major 186 Seniors Sonia Manus Billiojo Marco Mark Noella Michael Markoff Billy Mayhew Carl McAnninch John McClure Russell McCormick Linda McCready Sean McDougal Wendy McCUl Jim McGuire Patricia Mclnnes Mike McKee Lee McLain Robert Mee Nancy Mercer Helen Mergi SherTy Metcalf Eric Michalak Chris Michaud Vicki Miles Jim Miller Mike Miller Missy Miller Lori Milo Shannon Mitchell Debra Mollis Laura Molnar Steve Mondozzi Seniors 187 Jon Montague Michelle Moore Kelly Morgan Joe Musitano Trisha Muster David Myers Dawm Myers Greta Myers Bill Neff Trisha Nelson Lisa Nemeth Jeff Newman Julie Nicholas Shawn Nichols Kelly O’Connor Mark Odom Terri O'Laughlin Troy Oser Still Going Strong? With Phil Collins as their lead singer how could a group miss being successful? He was picked as the seniors’ favorite male vocalist so it was no wonder that Genesis was picked as the favorite group and concert by the seniors. Part of the reason had to be due to the fact they put on three sold-out concerts at the Richfield Coliseum, which many Falls students attended. At one of these concerts, their song “Invisible Touch” which was also the title of their current album, was televised live-across the United States — during the American Music Awards. The Genesis concert was talked about for days around the building. Marisa Lukesic said, “It was the most in- credible concert that I’ve ever been to.” Although they weren’t a new group. Genesis still had what it took to be NUMBER ONE! 188 Seniors They Ve AU Wet The 1987 senior class voted “Slippery When Wet,” Jon Bon Jovi’s third album, their favorite LP of the year (beating out Boston’s “Third Stage”). Some looked at Bon Jovi as being a “hard rock” band. Hit songs such as “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Living on a Prayer” had received a lot of radio air play. This gave Bon Jovi’s music a chance to be heard by a wide variety of Falls High listeners. Many seniors talked about Bon Jovi’s popularity. Dave Leigh believed, “Bon Jovi’s music represents the ’new wave’ of the Rock and Roll industry today.” Another senior, Chrissy Bowmaster stated, “His music reflects our time.” Donald Owens Brian Parcell Stacey Parry Joseph Patrick Kelly Patterson John Pearson Tamara Penix Andy Pero Steve Phillips Julie Pierce Mitchell Plank Lisa Pogwizd Erick Poston Paul Putman Laura Ray Charla Redfem Stan Rhodes Sharon Rich Seniors 189 Trina Richards Joapeh Rinehart Deanna Ritchey Dawn Roark Lori Robb Randall Roberson Charles Roberts, II Daniel Roese Michelle Roharik William Rojas Tracey Rowe Tina Roxbury James Rubish Terri Ryan Chantelle Salandre Bryan Salchak Tammie Salmon Terrie Salmon Catherine Sandmann Daniel Sarver Dawn Sayre Debbie Schaber I .aura Schmitt Monica Schmitt Melanie Seabase Steve Sebastian Criasy Seger Tonna Sellers Tom Sender Joe Sesto 190 Seniors Mary Scybold Roy Shafer Greg Shepherd Rob Sheppard Nicole Shorder Alethea Short Ted Shorter Kevin Shovestull Scot! Simmons Tami Sines Jon Skeens Lori Slota Seniors dumping Over the “Moon” What TV show that broke many production rules for a primetime series beat out the number one rated “Cosby Show” as the seniors favorite television show ... ? Why, “Moonlighting,” of course. The series was about a conservative, ex-model (Cybil Shepherd) and a zany, party-going character (Bruce Willis) that join forces to run a detective agency. Part of the series charm was its habit of breaking rules, a practice unheard of in the production business. Some of these included: speaking directly to the audience, filming off stage, showing equipment, cameras, and crew, and having two characters talking to each other at the same time. “I like the way they go back and forth with their smart remarks” com- mented Ellen DiFrangia. Theresa Hartman stated, “It’s a com- bination of comedy, drama, mystery, and romance that keeps you glued to the set.” The show’s individual style definitely made “Moonlighting” a hit among the class of ’87.

Frank Bonifacio Micki Boseeker The Big Flash Cameras, screens, and long lines are a common sight on picture day. All students, freshmen through junior, as well as the faculty are required to have their photo taken. Photos arc used for the yearbook as well as identification cards. From outside the building, Thursday, September 25, 1986 looked like a seemingly ordinary day. However, upon entering the building, one saw that this was not the case. The auditorium stage had been transformed into a photography studio where many students stood in anticipation of the big flash. It was school picture day, which meant that all freshman, sophomores, juniors, and staff were required to have their photos taken. Some students ar- rived early with hopes of getting it out of the way early. However, most had to pa- tiently wait until a free period or study hall in order to have their pictures taken. Seniors, on the other hand, did not have this inconvenience because they had their pictures taken professionally at various portrait studios. Today was also “Senior Grub Day” and many up- perclassmen observed this by dressing in old, dirty clothes and worn-out tennis shoes. As the long day came to a close, relief flooded through the minds of those who survived yet another school picture day. For most, this would be the last school picture day, as many juniors would travel to area studios to have their pictures taken professionally. Yet, for some, it was not over yet. Retake day was scheduled for Thursday, November 20,1986. 196 Juniors Tia Bowers Roger Bowes Megan Bowman Emmett Brady Loreene Brand Michael Braun Kelly Brewer Michael Brooks Timothy Brown Kevin Brunswick Matt Burdette Matthew Bums Sarah Cable Donald Calaway Russell Callen Marc Canterbury Gina Caporlett Ronald Carrell John Carrigan Elizabeth Case Jeanne Casey Scott Chaney Joseph Chiera Christina Clark Robert Cochrane Christina Coldwell Gary Combs Stacey Conley Ronald Cooper Michael Counes Cheryl Crano Jane Criss Arminda Cross Mica Cross Sandra Csejtey George Curfman Kristen Cuny Kimberly Darden Mary Deisz Anthony Deluca Joseph Demangeont Stephen Denning Patricia Dennison Brian Deryck John Dever Angela Donnelly Melissa Douglas John Drumm Christine Drushal Jeffrey Du do Craig Dyer Amy Eastridge Bradley Eaton Jill Eberly Juniors 197 Aim to Please On any given Thursday, the mouthwater- ing aroma of Tigerburgers and French fries waft through the halls surrounding the cafeteria. The tempting odor lured the students into the cafeteria where they were greeted by the cafeteria workers, the head of which was Mrs. Gloria Meneer. Accord- ing to Mrs. Meneer, the favorite foods of the students were : Tigerburgers, French fries and chocolate chip cookies. On the other hand,peas and mainly all vegetables were foods least enjoyed by the students. A new addition to the cafeteria food was the ice cream cone and slush machines. Meneer stated that these foods provided nutrition for students who usually did not take the time to eat a full lunch. She said that students could grab a slush or ice cream cone and still receive basically the same nutritional value as the plate lunch. Also, Meneer stated that the cafeteria staff “works toward having the best prod- ucts for everyone.” She added that the main ambition of the workers was “to please the students.” David Edwards Laura Eilcr Marc Eleo Susan Eller Danielle Erne rick Audra Fanberg Kimberly Femer Michelle Ferrell Lisa Fieldson Christopher Filomcna Kellie Finnerty Anthony Fiocca Gerald Firl Steven Fishel Kimberly Fisher Tamra Fisher David Fleming Scott Flinn Gary Fontana Jacqueline Forcina Vanessa Ford Jennifer Ford Gail Foster Richard Frame Michael Francis Bobby Freeman Edson Freeman Jill Fristoe Mark Frye David Fuller David Furry Carl Gaglio Heather Ganocy Renee Gardner Lisa Gales Tina Geul 198 Juniors Robert Giacomoni Cheryl Gill Denette Gleason Chris Greathouse Mindy Gray Timothy Green Tim Gregory Mark Grissom Sarah Gross Karen Haby Michelle Hackathom Thomas Hall William Hall Dawn Hamilton Craig Hamric Tawni Harlin Tiffany Harper Robert Harr Candace Harris David Harris Kimberly Harris Tracy Hartong Andrew Hattery Heather Hauser Lora Hawkins Tessa Hawkins John Hayden Sharron Hayes Michael Hayn James Heaton Barbara Heitz Elizabeth Held Daniel Hengle Christine Henry Lisa Hensley Shelly Heth Joy Hetman Kathleen Heydom Jamie Hindel Jerry Hissem Peter Hodakievic William Hodson Tamara Hoffman Sandra Holata Jeffrey Holland Brian Hoover Chris Homing Adam Hosterman Scott Howdyshell Daneen Hubbard John Huber Dawn Hughes Frank Hunnell Phillip Hunt Karen Hurd Julie Hurst Michelle Hutchison Eric Iczkowski Robert Ignizio Victor Ing Jason Isner Sandy Izsanyi Rachael Jahns Juniors 199 Another View Does traveling to a foreign country and experiencing different cultures appeal to you? Do you often dream of exploring new customs, and at the same time, meeting new people? If so, the student exchange program was for you. Lene Berg Kirstensen, a junior at CFHS, was an exchange student from Denmark. She was selected to participate by an inter- view process based upon intelligence and independence. After being accepted, she traveled with an organization known as EF, or Educational Foundation for Foreign Study. When asked about the contrasts between the schools in Denmark and in the United States, Lene remarked that, “Schools here are more strict about being on time and in your seat when the bell rings.” She also said that she liked this rigidity in class bet- ter than the discipline in Denmark because she received more respect from the teachers. Another difference was the daily school schedule. In Denmark, the students stayed in one classroom all day, and the teachers traveled from room to room between periods. Also, Lene stated that the class schedule changed daily, and the students did not have lockers. In addition, high school sport teams were virtually non-existent in Denmark. Sports were required only in physical education classes. All other activities were independent from school. Also, many American sports, such as soccer and tennis were big favorites in her home country noted Lene. she stated that the two things she liked most about the United States were the op- portunity to meet new people and to discover a new experience.

Although this was a fairly common scene in the halls of Falls High, it was definitely not common in 1921. According to the Encyclopedia of Etiquette, a lady, unless she was infirm or elderly, did not take the arm of a man when walking on the street by day. However, after nightfall she may have accepted his support though in these modem times she was apt to avail herself of his arm only in crossing a crowded thoroughfare. If she did so, she placed her hand just in the angle of his elbow. It was in bad taste for the man to thrust his hand through the woman’s arm. Now, as a comparison, the Falls High Student Handbook stated that, “The following behavior is considered to be in poor taste and objectionable both to other students and to adults: Kissing and em- bracing; sitting together in parked cars on school property.” Even this policy was modernized only a few years ago to exclude the rule that students were not permitted to hold hands!

It’s a Plane? “I was oul looking at the helicopter” was a com- mon excuse for tardiness during the fourth and fifth periods on October 22, 1986. During third period, a 611 — 60 Blackhawk Helicopter landed on the football practice field at CFHS. The chopper was provided for students to visit by the United Stales Army’s 101st Airborne Division in accordance with the Army Reserve Recruiting Program. The members of the air assault crew invited students to view the outside as well as the inside of the chopper cockpit. This unusual campus site pro- vided a unique experience for all.

The students sold to help defer from the $10,000 graduation expense of renting the coliseum and pur- chasing caps, gowns, and flowers. While reaching their profit of $4,000, they earned.such free prizes as candy bars and gift certificates. Shawn Moats led the class as the top salesperson with $284.64 in sales. Mr. Ross’ class, room 312, was the top selling homeroom and won a free pizza party at Parrason’s. RIGHT: Counting money is a tiresome task but someone has to do it. Mr. Birdy, class advisor, checks and counts money turned in by homeroom reps for magazine subscrip- tions. Several tum-in dates are scheduled during homeroom so that students could bring in their money as it is received.

Black days are double ebony for me at Cuyahoga Falls High School. Taking physical education as a required course is asinine, due to changing into the essential uniform, playing sports that are not univer- sally popular, and competing with students of many athletic abilities. The most significant annoyance about “gym” is having to change into the tacky regulation dress. Neither the boxy black polyester shorts nor the bright mustardy gold T-shirt are at all flattering in color or fit. Another reason for my despising gym is having to participate in compulsory sports. I find it amazing that football is a part of the physical education curriculum, especially for girls, as 1 know very few who aspire to Canton’s Hall of Fame. Basketball is another of my pet peeves. I’m unable to pass, pivot, and shoot toward a hoop while running at 'the same time, which earns me five fouls in five minutes. Unfortunately, I have no extreme longing to dribble madly down polished floorboards, while constant- ly dodging aggressive attackers, to put a ball through a hoop. Finally, taking gym with future Olympic gold medalists filled with excessive com- petitive spirit and physical abilities is demoralizing. My physical education classes always seem to be ninety-six per- cent jock and four percent klutz. Jocks have the natural ability to size up the klutzes in a matter of seconds. We who are not planning a career in sports and could not even if we wanted to, are personally responsible for ruining their chances of winning a coveted college scholarship, or being a first round draft choice of the Cleveland Browns or Cavaliers. Compulsory physical education, with all its abominations, is most definitely not for me. — Megan Happeny Sophomores 209 Brenda Hodge Phil Hogan Dan Holderfield Kim Holdren Diane Holle Monica Homan Brad Hoover Linda Hoover I eanne Horn Matt Horner Brian Hovey Roger Howell Kevin Hulick Kevin Humble David Hutchins Heather Hyatt James Hyden Amy Ingcrsoil Victor Ing Kimberly Isner Terri Jabbour Angela Jackson John Jacobs Darren Jameson Darlene Janke Kelli Jarvis Michael Jenkins Mike Jesson I eigh Johnson Olivia Johnson J.

The pilot or dry run of the competency program tested the Composition Competency Testing Program rather than the students. The state- mandated composition evaluation had to be ready for 1988 so the English department wanted a trial run to see how the proposed procedures would fly. The students had thirty minutes to write in response to the prompt: My favorite ob- ject or most valued possession is —. The range of students’ choices was not as varied as the number of students. Actually, the choices tended to fall into categories such as pets, stuffed animals, musical in- struments, jewelry, clothes, sporting goods and momentoes. A few students showed their level of sophistication by selecting to write on such topics as education and the mind. Those apparently more sentimental chose to write about a special picture, a gift from a special person, or some momento that held special memories. The topics most frequently chosen were a radio or stereo, telephone, and stuffed animals. The writings were evaluated by a bevy of six English teachers over a period of eight hours on a Saturday. Graded holistically, the papers were assigned a 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0. Those receiving a 1 or 0 were assigned remediation.

Some would always remember that first day at the high school. Heather Moore commented, “I will never forget wandering around the halls looking for my room, five minutes after the tardy bell rang.” Stacy Waltz added, “It was confusing try- ing to find my classes based on the number system. If the 300s are on the top floor, how can the 400s be on the bottom floor???” Other frosh were surprised at the behavior of the upperclassmen toward them as a whole. Many seemed to be expecting the worst. “I thought people would push me around, but they didn’t. I guess they knew how it felt to be a freshman,” stated Kathy Kleckner. Chris Heydorn shared this opinion when she said, “I was surprised to find out what seniors are really like. Everybody warned me about how bad they tease freshmen, but not one senior has said anything to me.” In addition to adjusting to a new school and dealing with approxi- mately twice as many people as they were used to, many “rookie” students still found time for extra- curricular activities. Jessica Goodheart remarked that her favorite extra-curricular activity was freshman girls’ basketball. “Being a part of that team helped me through some tough times. The other girls helped me and became my closest friends,” she noted. Although other school related activities, such as soccer and marching band, were represented by the class of 1990, Tara Falitico said that she enjoyed, “The dances, of course. All those cute guys.” When asked what advice they would give to future freshmen, answers were quite varied. Responses ranged from “Go to a private school” to “Pretend you are a senior.” However, Jim Davoii cap- tured the majority opinion of the class when he advised, “Don’t ask upperclassmen (especially seniors) for directions!” Freshmen 229 ,0oV‘'n PA • • The Plaza al Chapel Hill .. . renovations of State Road Shopping Center . . . where will it all end?

The river gave an abundance of water power, which could be harnessed and used in manufac- turing. As a matter of fact, in 1836 K .ra Comstock chose Cuyahoga Falls over Chicago as the place to locale his business. He was convinced that Chicago would never amount to anything and that Cuyahoga Falls would. Central Front Street was a busy place full of business with their planked sidewalks and rails to which horses were tied. Corporations prospered and the river- front came to be known as “The Mill Race” due to adjacent businesses such as the Loomis Wire Mill. Thus the industry grew.

Look- ing Back, was printed through offset lithography in 256 pages by Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas, Texas; Ms. Cindy Carty was the company representative. Paper stock is 80 enamel. The endsheets are 80 Gainsborough Confetti. The cover’s basic material is lithocote. The Cuyahoga Falls map is overburned in black ink on 10% pantone 129c screen, and the four color pictures are overlayed on top of the screen. The drop shadows are overburned in 40% black so that the map shows through. The outside border is 100% pan- tone 129c. Rule lines around all pictures and drop shadows are two point. The title, Double Vision, is in 36 pt. Helvetica Extra Bold Italic (hy) with a 40% shadow. Secondary heads are set in 18 point News Gothic Bold (nb). On the spine, the name of the school is in 24 point Helvetica Condensed while the year and volume are in 14 point Helvetica Condensed. The binder’s board is 15 . The body type is 12 point Bodoni with 11 point leading and the idents are set in both 8 and 10 point. Heading typeface is 48 point Tiffany Heavy Italic (ty). The majority of the senior portraits were taken by Carmen Studios of Akron, Ohio and their photographers, Gregg Lynett and Drew Smith, photographed many of the activities as did the yearbook staff members. Because of the special historical nature of this issue, there were many community people and alumni who should be recognized for their various contributions. Special thanks to: Janet Allen, Joan Benfield, Majorie M. Beyersdorf, Charles Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Dengledine, Gerry B. Downey, Mary Hanshaw Hallack, Priscilla M. Harding, Marj Schlaeppi, Donald Walker, Shirley Brown Webb, Russ Wolf, Sandy Zirke. For the first year, the staff has had the use of a computer and Typevision software to use in the partial production of the yearbook. 253 A Combination of Then Aon The differences of the pant and present are interwoven not only in the physical characteristics of the city and its structures but also are seen vividly in the old and young that make up the community. The students of yesterday studied subjects and at- tended some of the same classes that the students take today, but new knowledge continually expanded requirements for to- day’s students. Giant leaps in technology and progress placed greater demands academically (and in a short period of time) on the students of today. FAR LEFT: The river runs at high water during the spring. Today some of the original, small waterfalls have erod- ed away leaving the river with numerous rapids. The waterfalls are still substantially the same from the pic- ture (left) taken in the 1800’s. This was after the covered bridge on Broad Blvd. was replaced. BELOW: This house was built in 1883 on the cor- ner of Newberry and Myrtle streets and is still standing. (RIGHT) Union school was still standing in the background then but today it is replaced by an apartment building. 254 Closing Closing 255 BELOW: Today an entirely different site can be found on the corner of Broad and Sec- ond. The E. L. Babcock home as shown above was tom down, and a Sohio station stands in its place. A t-i r. ABOVE: This home stood on the corner of Broad and Second streets in the nineteenth century. It was built with detailed architecture and design including a large, railed veranda encircling its front section. The bicycle was the latest craze of that period. BELOW: Mills and factories were a common site along the river’s edge in the late 1800’s. The covered bridge still crossed the river during this period. In the same light, today’s youth associate those of past generations with a slower pace, with porches, rocking chairs and things peaceful and leisurely; whereas the elders tend to associate the young with a fast pace, fast cars and computers — a driving need for speed and convenience. The older members of the community look at the confusion of the present day and feel fearful for the future; meanwhile, the young see the greater part of their lives ahead of them and have faith in the future instead. The old look back; the young look at and ahead. Yet each can learn from the experiences and achievements of the other. This special combination of old and new proved to be invaluable — to the city, the school, and the community. BELOW: Today movies are slill a favori of a VCR allows for a large selection of m be viewed inside the home as well. RIGHT: In the 1950's attending cinemas and 3-D movies was a popular activity for students and adults alike. LEFT: Stuffing ears and phonebooths were fads of the 1950's that large numbers of students took part BELOW: Today student activities are more individual small groups. Michele Large and Brian Hoover spend day after prom at Cedar Point Amusement Park. 256 Closing
