Tee for Two The golf team consisted of eigh- en golfers. Senior Mike Locke, who had layed for eleven years, had won ree letters out of four years of varsi- . Mike planned on trying for De auw's golf team next year. His high- st game was 39 at Lincolnshire C.C., 6 in qualifying rounds. I played oorlyg I had a confidence problem arly in the season and so I never ally played up to my potential, ated Locke. Mike felt that Mr. Wat- n did a great job for his 1st year. I issed Mr. LeMaster because he was certified golf professional. The arbook wishes you luck at DePauw niversity. junior, Bruce Sattley won his first egional as an individual. Bruce, Mike, and Brian Habbe were the carries for the team, the team leaders, the strong men. Mr. Watson has coached golf for four years, the past three as a co- coach with Mr. LeMaster and this past year as head coach. I was sur- prised to see that we won the number we did, with only having one senior. So, I bettered my expectation. The only goals I had for my team was to improve the emotional atti- tudes of two of my players. Also, to finish the upper half at the Region- als. Mr. Watson has 15 players coming back and he hopes to win over half of their meets. Also, he wants to win the Regionals, like the golfers did in 1982. nt row fleft to rightj: Steve Carney, Greg Oost, Eric Melzer, Mike Grash,-john Branstad, Tim Pritts, Tyler Smith, Nick Reynolds, Fred Conley, David laney.

What's Your Best Thing A water fsnowj bunny. Lori Krueger has been water ski- ing since she was 5 years old. She has won many awards with her ski- ing. In 1984-1985 she won the Re- gional Championship and tried for first in Nationals at Zachary, Lou- isiana. Lori is also thinking about going professional and possibly do- ing some traveling with her skiing but she has not yet decided. Lori's father, Fred Krueger, a 1984 cham- pion himself, has been Lori's trainer for many years. . She also has an official trainer who works with her in Tournament time like last sum- mer. Lori and her father are not the only ones who water ski in her fam- ily. Her mother skies, her 12 year old sister, and her 9 year old brother also ski. My family and I go up to Burrow Pit in Harristown. Water Skiing is a great way to relax, to get a good workout and to stay cool while you're doing it. Lori does plan on competing this summer again at many events. right: Lori hits the waves at Burrows Pit this past summer. in in K Hoops equal TWO points! Aundra Holloway has been play- ing ball for four years, only one in high school. Aundra mainly played forward areas because she likes the rough areas of the court. I was shocked when I found out that I was picked as MVP. An MVP is not possible unless he has a strong team to back him up, stated Holloway. His college plans are un- decided at this time. Danny Androff, was a four year letter winner, the only one in Eisen- hower's History to have been on a Varsity starting team since the first day of practice. It was pretty scary. but after a while it became easier. I always had a lot of pressure to do good work, commented Danny. One of Danny's goals was to break the school record for the points scored in a four year period. Danny 130 Sports had scored 833 points at the end of hisjunior year. The school record is 1242 points by jerry Nixon. We had a great seasong we lost a few games that we should not have lost, like to SDHS and MHS. Dan- ny has played basketball for eight years, since he was 10. He has made the All Macon County Team for the past three years. Getting MVP at the ISU Tournament was a great experience, but winning the tourna- ment was even a better one, said Danny. Danny's college plans are also undecided, Eisenhower will miss having an Androff on the boys' varsity teams next year! We wish both players a success- ful college career. right: Aundra and Danny show their re bounding ability. . in Bump, Set, Three of the players from the 1984-1985 volleyball team made the Big 12 Conference Team this year. First was sophomore setter Beth Spycher, who was picked this year to help in the setting de- partment. Beth has only played ball for three years, and has re- ceived one Varsity letter. I was stunned when I found out that I had made the Big 12, said Beth. junior newcomer Dawn Pit- man, has only been playing ball for three years. She did not play her sophomore year. I plan on and Spike! moving to the backrowg I couldnt believe it! I was so surprised when I found out I made it. Four year letter winner Kathy Deardorff, who has made the Big 12 Conference Team for the past two years, has played volleyball for five years total. Kathy would like to have a volleyball scholar- ship. It will be hard to get one because I'm only 5'4 tall, ex- plained Deardorff. Kathy feels that this year was her best year. WE WISH KATHY LUCK ON HER SCHOLARSHIP. left: Dawn gets down into ready position.

Leaders Of The Band If the students were asked what part of the school was most impor- tant, chances were that they wouldn't have said the faculty. But the school without the faculty would have been like an orchestra without a conductor. All the stu- dents and textbooks would have been there, but there would have been no one to guide the students toward learning. When students talked of the fac- ulty, most of the time they were referring to the teachersg but the teachers were just a small portion of the faculty. The secretarial staff was just as important, maybe more so, for without the secretaries, the teachers would have been bogged down by the paperwork, and no teaching would have gotten done. The cus- todial staff kept the school clean and the essential school equipment running. The administrative staff kept the books on each student, and disciplined any students who needed disciplining. The faculty members that the students ran into most, however, were the teachers. The students' lives were shaped enormously by the teachers they encountered. For example, who could ever forget Mr. Nelson, with his unique way of quieting a class with a ruler very forcefully applied to some hapless student's desk. Any student who had that happen to him would cer- tainly be influenced for life. The students owed the faculty a great debt, but, at times, the stu- dents never seemed to appreciate them. Even if they acted disrespect- fully at times, however, the students appreciated the faculty, for without the faculty there would never have been any organized learning in Ei- senhower High School. lf! 132 Faculty WY 3
