All of us were DEDICATED to something this year. Some were DEVOTED to our stud- ies, spending DOZENS of hours with our noses buried in our books. There were also some of us who were easily DISTRACTED from our daily work, and there were also a few who DIDN'T know the DEFINITION of the word “DEDICATION” until it came to Friday night par- ties. COMMUNICATIONS was a CLASS that we all have tak- en sometime during our years at Ike. Mr. Karam and Miss Sowle taught this re- quired CLASS, in which we had to perform a variety of speeches in front of our CLASSMATES: dramatic, persuasive, narrative, and the most exciting, demon- stration speeches. Some of us were really CREATIVE and showed the CLASS every- thing from how to wax skis, to how to CLEAN CONTACT lenses. Test tubes and potions were part of the devotions in the wonderful class of chem- istry. It was a difficult class that’s very hard to pass, but you learned many things about it. Benjamin, Stocker, and Douglass too were the teachers who taught you the things that are new. Chemis- try, the challenge that a sci- entist once knew, who knows, the challenge might also be for you.

2 The ART classes, taught by Mr. Walt Nagel, were busy this year producing award winning ARTWORK. The students participated in a National Scholastic Exhibit and brought Eisenhower many AWARDS. Jon Dillman received a Gold Key and was a Blue Ribbon finalist; Todd Creely, Greg Schultz, and Sarah Johnson each received a Gold Key. Jennifer Sweet- ing received a Gold Key, a Hallmark nomination, and was a Blue Ribbon Finalist. The Blue Ribbon finalist work was sent to the Nation- al Competition in New York. From the Regional Exhibit, five objects were chosen as Hallmark nominees. Students learned many skills in the BUSINESS area this year. Mr. BOSWELL and Mr. Wienicke taught students BASIC typing skills. Mrs. BOTTKE was the Shorthand and Office Machines teach- er. Some of us had “The Big Fella” Mr. Fenton for Boo- keeping. Mrs. Peterson was helpful to those who weren't exactly computer wizards. Academics Cross

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ac- tivities filled the hours after school for some EXTRA-SPE- CIAL people who wanted to be involved ... ENGLISH, a required class, gave EVERY- ONE ENDLESS headaches while they tried to punctu- ate, write papers and study grammar EFFECTIVELY ... In Mr. Teal’s ECONOMICS class, students designed a Monopoly board and sold spaces on the board to busi- nesses in the community. The game was appropriately named Saginawopoly. » Academics Cross Fridays were days that stu- dents and teachers looked FORWARD to. It was the last day of the FRETFUL school week. We were on a week- end vacation. FRIDAYS sure did bring some FANTASTIC things. To be FRANK, pep assemblies, football and bas- ketball games, dances, par- ties, Friday night videos and Friday night FEASTS at FAST-FOOD restaurants. We can't FORGET that some FRIDAYS brought us chapter tests, and papers that were due. Each FRIDAY this year was a FANTASTIC FANFARE.
