Seniors speakers Polly Carl and Twyla Blumenberg spoke on the class theme The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. Similar speeches were given on May 14 at Baccalaureate by Pam Fager and Jeff Secor. According to Miss Alice McKeehan, activites director, approximately 125 seniors chose to attend the separate and optional Baccalaureate program this year. The Class of 1983 had planned a combined program for commencement.

Teresa Corpe also presented the school a herald horn as a gift from the Class of 1984. With this horn a new tradition was Started. Future senior classes will attach ribbons of their class colors along with their class number to the horn. It is my pleasure to announce that the Class of 1984 is officially graduated, announced Dr. Mart. Suddenly caps flew and seniors marched out of the gymnasium in the recessional. In the hallway final goodbyes were given, hugs were received and tears of joy and sorrow concluded the graduation ceremony of the Class of 1984, Twyla Blumenberg's speech was Choosing Our Directions. ¢ 199 Approximately 400 seniors participated in commencement exercises May 20.

Not only did Coach Siler express his pleasure with the sophomores, but as statistic- ian I also saw in their good performances a lack of the usual upperclassmen pressure. They were able to be loose and relaxed during a game. A young team every couple of years better prepares the younger athlete to fill his role when his senior year arrives.

This team really worked. These players have been together through Little League and know each one's moods, moves and plays. They have executed many doubtful plays only because of their confidence in teammates. The 1984 Chargers exper- ienced several nice achiev- ements this year. Two vol- unteer coaches, Mr. Don Pontius and Mr. Joe Barone, have helped a great deal. Mr. Barone even shaved off his beard to follow the hair requirements of the team. And everyone appreciated the extra room on the bus when Mr. Pontius hauled the equipment in his van! The team is rather proud of the new jackets received this spring, especially during the many three or more hours of play. We beat several highly ranked schools, including Elkhart Central twice and the 1983 state champions, Fort Wayne Northrop. Overall, the 1984 season was a success and it is encouraging to think about our returning lettermen and a new | season. | | | -—-Julie Siler FRONT ROW: Assistant Coach Mr. Joe Barone, Brian Green, Barry Foster Jeff Shreiner hiex Antonelli, Assistant Coach Mr. Don Pontius.

Junior Kelly Huneryager, co-captain, said, I know we lost some seniors, but we're still a tough team and we're going to be even better next year with 16 returning lettermen! The bench was alive with spirit during a game. Coach Cindy Davenport claimed, The team's enthusiasm was the strongest asset. Our biggest win of the season waS due mostly to our enthusiasm. The game was against Central and we were down by four runs in the fourth inning. The team got really fired up because we were determined to beat our biggest rival. The team came back to win in the seventh inning by one run. In fact, Memorial beat Central both times we played them. Our record of 4-10 isn't quite what we expected it to be, but with only one person graduating, the team will have its fire burning next year and the season record will be much higher. —-Sally Haile I was very excited to be elected team captain, and I was really shocked when our coach told us.

Positive attitudeswork Emotional highs and lows characterized most of the 1984 season. There were times at the beginning of the season when we felt like we would never play tennis, and times near the end when we felt like we would all have nervous breakdowns because we had six matches in a row. In between, we shared more laughs, tears, hugs and handshakes than any other team I've been on. Performance-wise, our team surprised a lot of people. Last year's team graduated five seniors, so this year's team lacked experience, but we made up for it with positive attit- udes. Motivated by our only seniors, Polly Carl and Karin Borchert, who served as co- captains, we proved thzt we deserved our state ran ing by winning our own invit .tional, finishing second at tne Munster Invitational, establishing a 15-5 record overall, and losing 10 Tennis “Yy only to third-ranked Central in the conference to become con- ference runners-up. Off the court, we had our accomplishments, too. Ifa survey were taken, we probably would have eaten more, per match, than any other team in FMHS history. On one team- mate's birthday, we devoured 30 cupcakes and two 8x10 cakes before we even played! Despite all the fun, I think I'll remember the long rides in the van the most. For some reason, riding in a van with the same people for a few hours makes you feel like you could talk about anything, and we did (much to the embarrassment of our two male coaches) ! Long after we forget the individual records we each established this year, we will remember the friends we made and the laughs we shared, and that's what being on a team is all about. —Debbie Milas a ‘AO on AEM BON WT F sadhaadt cull ot ound Naryan Solow was the only Mem- orial victor against Central.

You hit a little white ball that is only an inch in di- ameter with an iron stick appropriately called a club. You keep hitting it until you finally reach your goal, a little hole three inches in diameter. Simple, right? But basically, all sports, if viewed in an abstract way e Y are kind of dumb. We partic- 2 ipate in them because we love ‘ to play and that is the most important thing. I have enjoyed being on the golf team these past three years. Even though we didn't always obtain our goals, we still had fun. This year, we had a disappointing season, as a team and individually. We can still obtain our major goal of qualifying for region- als at sectionals.

(Photo courtesy of Mosier Photo- graphics) This year, the word successful could be defined in two ways. The first is in the dictionary where it is interpreted and the second could be related to the EMHS boys' track team which had its share of success. For instance, at the beginning of the season, the Chargers weren't expected to be “allsthate gqood=.ee bur because of some excellent team efforts and a superior coaching staff, the Chargers were able to silence their Critics. After beating state-ranked crosstown rival Elkhart Central in a Northern Indiana Conference (NIC) meet, it was goodbye opponents, hello Championship as the Chargers were on their way to an undefeated 9-0 conference record and the undisputed title. The kids didn't get much recognition because of Central, but they have something the Blazers don't, and that's the conference championship, said head coach Jim Eger. Not only did the team win the conference, but they also won their own Charger Invitational for the fifth time in 12 years with an overwhelming 96 points, 25 ahead of second-place Penn. When it came time for the sectionals, the Chargers were faced with tough competition in sixth-ranked Central and number 20 Goshen. Karl Werner won the discus at 140'11 to become the Chargers' only champion. With 70 points, they finished third behind the two ranked teams. The Chargers were able to send eight men to the regionals. Dave Stahl, who was second in the 800 and 16 Boys' Track Boys take NIC track title sixth in the 1600, Matt Grubb, third in the 800, Matt Ronzone, third in the 1600, Victor Washington, third in the 100, Dennis Griffen, third in the 3200, Eddie Henderson, fourth in pole vault, and Brad McCain, fourth in the long jump, all qualified. Junior Terry Kern said, We are doing so well because we just don't have a 'superstar.' When we win, it's a team victory. If one statement could tie the team's season together, it would have to be the one by Werner when he said, This team has proved what hard work, discipline, unity, and a good coaching staff can do for YOurs --Douglas Brown FIRST ROW: Chris Carl, Nate Roll, Rod Williams, Glen Uebler, Craig Nichols, Shawn Jordan, Brian Stamper, Willie Graham.

We lost some really close meets this season, one of them against Central. You couldn't really call the Memorial-Central meet a loss, though. We may have come out on the short end of the score, but with all the effort put forth we broke eight school, city or meet records. At the Princess Relays in Mishawaka, we placed 7th out of the 16 teams competing. We have a real good outlook for sectionals with people qualified in every event except discus and the 1600 relay. (Editor's note: The outlook was indeed good--EMHS girls took it all with 80 points, then placed 4th in the regional.) As a senior and first year member of the team, I was surprised at what I could actually achieve.

The kickers didn't win that evening, but the victors didn't walk away with an easy win. The Memorial soccer team showed everyone that this year they were ready to fight. The new coach, Mr. Larry Gingrich, had stated that a lot of emphasis would be placed on defense this year. Apparently it met with great success; the kickers held the league's leading scorers, South Bend Adams and St. Joe, to a much more competitive game than they or anyone expected. 20 Soeccer The kickers dropped three close games before they would strike their first winning game. The game with Penn ended in a tie. One player commented, This is the momentum we needed. On a Wednesday afternoon, under clear skies and on their home field, the Memorial soccer team made history by scoring their first win ever. They defeated South Bend Washington by a 2-1 margin on goals by Paul Papadopoulous and Shawn Rogers.

Transformed into a stylish French cafe, the cafeteria was decorated in the style of the romantic city of Paris. To create the picturesque mood of the night, the junior class officers and cabinet had turn- ed a seemingly unsophisticated area into a paradise by using a color scheme of black, red and white and famous land- marks such as the Eiffel Tower and Arc D'Triumph. Famous street signs and garden paths which led to the dance floor and decorated tables were fab- ricated after the extravagant city of Paris. The evening was highlighted by the sounds of the five-man band Hot Flash. Michele Simper and Dave San- dusky share a laugh.

There were still records to break, scholarships to be re- ceived, banquets to attend, awards to win, and positions to be awarded for next year. There were still warm days to enjoy, spring activities to participate in and plenty of anticipation as noisy seniors and anxious underclassmen counted off their final days. Lunch hour on April 17 brought squeals of surprise from students and faculty members as a greased pig with an '84 painted on it raced Gown the hall near the cafe- teria and through the student center. Seniors celebrated their last week with shaving cream and squirt guns, giving those who sat in the student center before school and at lunch reasons to wear rain- Cheryl Dietz and other seniors came to school before 7 a.m. to © measure for caps and gowns.

As the warm days of spring progressed, it became harder for students to return from lunch hour. Tires screeched as latecomers raced to find a parking place before the first bell while others who could afford to be tardy took their time. Senior government students exercised their voting privil- eges by voting in the primary election where the referendum to increase taxes to bring $1.2 million into the school system was defeated by 1,234 votes. National Honor Society in- ducted 64 new members. The first Communications Arts ban- quet recognized outstanding student efforts in journalism, speech and drama. Dr. Palmer Mart retired at the end of the year and was recognized by various groups in the community as MHS's first and only principal. MONOLITH started a new tradition with the sale of senior kisses, cards with printed messages and Hershey kisses attached. Student Government sponsored the first-ever Custodian Appreciation Day, complete with cakes for the custodial staff. Some activities were traditional, others were new ideas. And everyone had pizzazz. When seniors cried at grad- uation, when students yelled ecstatically on the last day of school (May 18 for seniors, June 1 for underclassmen) , when teachers shook students! hands and wished them good luck or patted them on the back and said, See you next fall, the message, as always, was Clear.

Action was not known just to the students _ at MHS, but to the faculty and parents as well, whether it be teachers signing up as chaperones for a dance or parents when they attend a Charger football game. Everyone in side and outside MHS moved one way or another, to get to here or there or to pa ticipate in some school function. — _ Nancy Tilford said, “I am always on th _move. | do a little bit of everything, but bowl ing is my specialty.” 2 Action was not just for sports fans and or participants to crave. Students who were ac- _ tively involved with other school organizations also liked ‘‘to get a piece of the action’”’ as John Thompson, who enjoyed choir, put it. “| think the drill team has lots of pizzazz because of their neat dance steps,” said Keren King. School groups such as Gold Rush, the Charger cheerleading squads and the Crimson Charger Command drill team were solely d endent on the way that they moved. And | | when students weren’t in school they were involved with some kind of action.

It seems time is purposely tormenting you, knowing that you can’t wait to get your hands on a nice, juicy hamburger with some hot, salty french fries. Although many students dreamed of a nice hot hamburger and fries, only 4 out of 10 actually went out and bought their lunch-time dream. Students who stayed at school said they chose pizza and fish sandwiches as _ their favorites, leaving the school’s salad bar for the rabbits. Those who did go out for lunch chose McDonald's as their favorite eating place, with Taco Bell close behind. Students reported piz- za, spaghetti, and tacos as their all around favorite foods, and when it came to choosing favorite junk foods, Hostess Ho-Ho’s ‘‘took the cake.” Cafeteria workers came in at 7:30 each mor- ning to begin the day’s cooking while cafeteria manager Mrs. Dorothy Miller came at 6:30 to open the breakfast bar for hungry students who didn’t have time to eat at home before school. And in case you didn’t eat breakfast, there were always the home economics students cooking up some delicious smells, causing the halls to fill with hungry students. One batch of the 175 dozen chocolate chip cookies that is made weekly for the students’ delight is taken from the oven of the Memorial kitchen.

When you're on a fixed income and you have to pay insurance every other month, the thought of running out of gas can be a nightmare. Even worse, the thought of having an accident, according to Dawn Barone, who had an accident the night of the Memorial- Central game. “| was getting ready to turn around in this driveway and a drunk driver hit me from behind,”’ she said. Finding a car that runs well and looks good too isn’t easy. Naryan Solow found her 1967 Camaro convertible in a newspaper. ‘| was looking in the paper all summer and this car was in real good condition. | always wanted a real cool car. I’m going to put it in car shows,” she said. Out of the 1,460 students at Memorial, 646 of them drove their own or their parents’ car to school. Thirty-eight of these drivers drove in this year’s caravan to the Memorial-Central game. Many students didn’t have a car to drive, weren't old enough to drive or just wanted to save their gas. George Smith said, ‘‘When | get my license, I'll probably run errands for my mom for a month or so and then I'll be able to drive to basketball games and movies and stuff.”’ Students who didn’t drive needed to find other ways of getting to and from school. Riding the bus, carpooling with friends and riding with parents were the most popular means of transportation. After all, when the school is on a 130-acre complex outside the city limits, transportation is a big deal. Bound for the Memorial-Cen tral game, the EMHS cheerleaders, aboard a borrowed firetruck, lead a very noisy and colorful caravan of 38 decorated cars through town. Early in the morning Robert and Ray Ivers, waiting under Crawford Street’s multi-colored trees, are among the hun- dreds of students who ride the buses. Students need cars to leave for early release, or to remain for after-school activities. Scott Lambdin slides behind the wheel of his 1977 Camaro to go home.

PIZZAZZ olorful bandanas and buttons added to denim jackets and sweatshirts gave old clothes a new look. Stripes, checks and hemlines running from above the knee to mid- calf added style and variety to blue jeans. In- spired by the movie ‘Flashdance,’ some students cut the sleeves off their sweatshirts and added to a steadily growing trend of peo- ple following movie fashions. “Puttin’ on the Ritz’ day during football Spirit Week brought students dressed in tuxes, top hats, flapper dresses and other dressy clothes. Many students who wore old- fashioned clothes discovered them in relative’s closets or in old clothing stores. Theme days gave students a chance to be creative and show EMHS pizzazz. Not just reserved for rainy days, raincoats became fashionable as shown by Jill Hall. They were available in a rainbow of colors, lined with anything from whales to tulips. From plain colors to a piano keyboard, Lucy Martin, Victor Washington, Pam Fager, David Simonaitis and Anne Gassere model their favorite sweatshirts. Jeans had new flair with pinstripes, black denim and checks in a variety of colors and lengths. Examples are styles worn by Alisha Maes, Jody Stutz and Theresa O’Brien. Barry Foster and Heather McDonough are two of the many students who dressed up for ‘‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’’ day.

A school to be labeled energetic must have people wi th vigor—people with pizzazz. Officially, 1,460 students crowded the halls of EMHS. The juniors had the largest class, with 497, followed by the sophomores with 464, the seniors with 453, and 46 special education students. Speaking of people... “‘To me, a special person, one with pizzazz, is one who listens and a person who takes time and really cares.” —Loreena Crise At a school the size of Memorial, the average person was challenged to stand out in the crowd.

Upon entering EMHS, the onlooker could observe unique qualities that set Memorial apart from other schools. From the zany fashions worn by some, to the government classes where seniors debated their way through Mock Congress, students’ per- sonalities gleamed. They personalized their plain lockers with stickers, photos, and clipp- ings from magazines.

Although these were activities that were called attention to, even the un-praised—such as the student who stayed late decorating her Charger Pal’s locker, or volunteered to be first in giving a class report, or who attended the minor spor- ting events—helped build a school- full of spirit — and pride. And the pride rubbed off. The custodians who smiled courteously as they cleaned up our messes had it. The counselors who were tolerant as they changed our schedules for the fifth time had it. And principal Dr. Palmer Mart had it as he wound down his professional career arranging for a four-year high school in 1984. They were people with pizzazz. : Anita Brown and Teri Szymanski wait out the last minutes of a third hour.

Its two casts performed during the school day for children from area nursery schools and again for the public with two shows on Oc- tober 22. Leading the two casts were Julie Taska and Billie Jo Robinson as Sleeping Beauty with Kel- ly Carpenter and Dominic Cappelletti as their respective princes. Terri Jackson and Twyla Blumenberg played the role of Frytania, the evil fairy. The stage was transformed from a royal throne room to Frytania’s tower and, finally, to the castle of thorns, guarded by a fiery dragon, played in all shows by the team of Emily Mar- shall and Richard Farrough.

The wicked Frytania (Terri Jackson) deceives Sleeping Beau- ty (Billie Jo Robinson) into spinning fine yarn on the spinn- ing wheel, causing Beauty to prick her finger and go to sleep. Sleeping Beauty (Julie Taska) clasps the hands of her prince (Kelly Carpenter) in a moment of gratitude for saving her from the evil fairy in the 1983 children’s show.

You’re on the wrong foot ... Turn the other way! That’s the third time you've played that wrong...”’ These were some of the phrases spoken by Mr. John Lund, choir and Gold Rush director; Mr. Don Litherland, orchestra and Jazz Ensem- ble director; and Mrs. Roberta Litherland, choreographer for Drill Team and Gold Rush; during the week-long rehearsals for Kaleidoscope 1983. The hours of practice morning, noon and night during the last week in October and the first two weeks in November paid off for the Jazz Ensemble, Golden Strings, Studio Or- chestra, Gold Rush and Drill Team, who enter- tained an audience of approximately 700 on November 18 with their singing, dancing and music. “Considering the lay-off of three years, it went quite well. Having a great amount of balance with music, singing and choreography, it turned the show into one of the best in a long time. Lighting and special ef- fects were very effective, thanks to Mr. Wayne Stubbs, Mr. Ivan Ronk and the lighting crew,” said Mr. Lund. After the time out, Kaleidoscope returned to the EMHS stage with a flash of bright costumes and a rainbow array of lights. Music included “Big Band Sing,”’ a medley of popular tunes from the 1930’s, which Gold Rush per- formed accompanied by the Jazz Ensemble and Orchestra, to present day tunes like ‘““Memory”’ from the Broadway show “‘Cats.”’ The Drill Team danced to “The Stray Cat Strut” by the new wave band Stray Cats, ac- companied by the Jazz Ensemble. Dressed in maroon jumpers and bow ties, Gold Rush members Sandy Stanley, Laura Gawlik, Jody Reed and Jill Mercer practice one of their vocal selections. Accomplished gymnast and dancer Stephanie Reich leaps through the air during a solo performance.

Once you have that, it pays off. Performing is great and it’s a fantastic feeling,” said Gold Rush member Laura Weber. White gloves and colorful bandanas were part of the Drill Team’s costumes.

The cafeteria was transformed (with the help of the custodial staff and members of all three choirs) into a 16th century medieval cas- tle with candles and baskets of fruit on every table. The evening started with Old English music while approximately 270 guests arrived and were introduced to the Lord and Lady of Revels (Dan McGrath and Connie Barker). A strolling minstrel, Randy White, sang familiar tunes such as ‘‘Greensleeves”’ and “The Holly and the Ivy,” and a court jester, Stephanie Reich, played pranks and turned flips to enter- tain the guests. When the wassail punch arriv- ed, there was a toast to the Lord and Lady of Revels. Afterwards, the guests were seated, and the lords and ladies appeared, dressed in robes, furs and gowns. The feast started with the main course of pork, potatoes and dressing. While eating, the 22 Madrigal Dinner ee, eed) | n for 270 guests i guests were entertained by Patty Strahm play- ing the harpsichord, the choirs singing, and the brass ensemble playing. ‘In preparation for the Madrigal Dinner, we had to learn the different songs and we practic- ed for months on each selection to get it the way Mr. Lund wanted us to sound. After learn- ing that we didn’t have it (Madrigal Dinner) last year, I felt very excited that it was put on and was glad to have been a part of it,”’ said Gold Rush member Wendy Zinich. The Lord and Lady of Revels, Gold Rush members Dan McGrath and Connie Barker, welcome the guests who have come to the feast and introduce the entertainment.

Madrigal Dinner 23 Success strikes for ‘Silver Bells’ All the fun didn’t end when the snow began to fall at Memorial. Along came the ever popular winter dance ‘Silver Bells’’ December 10) A successful turn out of approximately 306 students was good news, and proved to be much of a profit to the school according to Mr. Jim Hales, Student Government sponsor. Miss Alice McKeehan, activities director, added that a better job had been done with pre-dance publicity this year. Music by Doug Cohan and The Basics filled the night air as students posed for pictures, danced, and admired each other’s outfits. Many students felt that the winter dance was a success because it was held before the holidays. Tina Nix said, ‘““This added a lot to the pre-Christmas excitement and was early enough not to interfere with any other holiday plans.”’ [4 Dave Stahl and Danny McGrath take a break from dancing and help themselves to refreshments of punch, peanuts and mints. Stacy Arenz and her date Brian Fann dress up as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus to add holiday excitement to the dance. Most students dressed up but these two were original.

A turn-out of 193 couples dressed in “‘hillbil- ly’’ attire participated in many activities that started with square dancing, a new event at the “‘Sadies” to ‘“‘break the ice’’ and get the dance into full swing. A group of teachers who had square danced before demonstrated the steps the first time around with the couples joining in the second time. Music was provided by “The Music Machine” from WXMG while music videos were shown on a large screen. While some students danced, others sat at _ tables decorated with cut-out cupids and a bowl of candy hearts. Serious couples repeated “‘wed- ding vows’”’ in front of one of the three Mar- ryin’ Sams and had pictures to remember the evening by taken near a haystack. The Sadie Hawkins, derived from the comic strip ‘Lil’ Abner,’’ had an added attraction this year—cupids who ran around tapping couples on the head. When this happened, the girl was supposed to kiss her date. “The cupids were an added treat in an already exciting evening,” stated one senior.

When your school offers 209 different classes-ranging from aerospace to reading improve ment, from British Literature to-child guidance and from German Il to Rhythm and Dance, there are many ways to jearn-and-many things to learn. When your school has the Elkhart Area Career Center (EACC) just- across the east lawn that offers 23 fields of concentrated study in a vocational setting, there-are many ways to learn and, again, many things to be learned. Anyone who thought he would come to MHS and take six classes that did nothing-ex: cept sit and listen was wrong. Algebra classes held boy versus girl contests, gover classes participated in Mock Congress, Home Ec students baked cookies with children from an area elementary school, gym classes swam and learned archery, and life science students spent time in 30-acre Cooper Lab observing plant life communities. Anyone who thought he would come to MHS and not learn anything was wrong. Sophomores learned that giving a speech in 32 i � +� The Ways We Learn front of people, especially peers; wasn‘t-really all that bad. Concert choir members learned that practicing the same Latin passage of_a song for days wasn't really that bad, especially when the audience gave them a-standing-ova- tion at a concert. Chemistry students learned that memorizing formulas wasn't really all that bad, especially when a formula appeared in an experiment and they knew exactly-what- it was. Anyone who thought he would come. to MHS and not have any fun was wrong. Rhythm and Dance classes traveled to elemen- tary schools and performed for children. Spanish students had a festival party; sampl- ing different types of Mexican cuisine. Students in sewing classes used their creativi- ty making padded picture frames and stuffed animals while industrial arts classes made wooden paper towel holders and tic-tac-toe games.

Many students found it a good place to catch up on homework, as Tony Anderson does during his study hall. Jackie Garner and Kim Haynes learn how to cut the hair of mannequins, give permanents and color hair among various other activities in Cosmetology at the Career Center. Some classrooms were known for being small, large, warm, cold or having special sounds or odors associated with them. Because of these special characteristics, the rooms became memorable to the students who spent at least an hour a day in them. While claiming that it was harder to con- centrate, many students complained that they had to spend time in a room that was “too cold.”’ Sandy Wolfe said, ‘“The rooms are so cold you have to wear your ski jacket to class. The cold air gives me a headache and it’s hard to learn.”’ Agreeing, Lori Elliott added, “Mr. Rems’ class is so cold that my mind freezes up.” Noises could add to or subtract from a room. “Sometimes it’s hard to learn things when you hear noises in class. For instance, Memorial's rooms have pizzazz. in my English class we always hear this i noise coming from the heater. It’s also ba when the wind blows through the window: and makes a whistling sound,” said Dou Johnston. On the other side, quiet places seemed to attract people. Ann Conley agreed, ‘‘l like the library because you can go there to be aloné and it’s so quiet.” | Some of Memorial’s rooms had a specia pizzazz, thanks to the help of teachers. Jody Stutz said, ‘“‘Mrs. Hales’ art class is ve fascinating to me because of all the drawings and sculptures that are created.” | Bulletin boards can brighten up a roof Newspaper clippings, posters, and neat sé ings can get students involved in a class. like Mrs. Poe’s room because of her bulleti boards,” said Stephanie Dunn. “The most | will remember about Memorial classes are the weird chairs!

You can also talk to your friends without a lot of commo- tion going on. ’ —Sandy Wolfe 36 ... The Places We Learn Places we learn Smelling a delicious smell can help a student like a room. The home economics rooms were many students’ favorites because of the wonderful smells that came from them, a MONOLITH survey showed. Another not-so-favorite room was the locker room. The pool locker rooms smelled like chlorine and had the musty smell of drying swimsuits. These rooms had the additional charm of slippery, slimy floors, some _ students pointed out. Unusual qualities sometimes attracted people. The mirrored dance studio was bright and colorful and became the favorite place for a number of students. Cindy Hadley said the reason she liked it was ‘‘because of all the mirrors, and how you think you look doing something might be different from what you think when you do it in front of a mirror.” People also liked the rooms because they were neat, cluttered, or had lots of school spirit. English room A101, along with many other rooms, showed a lot of Charger spirit. Bright crimson and gold streamers, paper coverings for bulletin boards, Charger posters, and shakers made these spirit rooms stand out over the dull rooms to make the students feel more enthusiastic for the school as well as the room. Some rooms had something that really made them attractive. Jennie Thomas pointed out that a lot of English rooms had “big ugly black spots on the ceiling. It looked like the ceiling’s falling down.” “Rooms might have had nothing special or different about them, but be favorite places of any activity or people in them. The choir room attracted Sandy Stanley because ‘I can go there and sing with people. It’s really fun.”’ The choir room was also a favorite of Jill Mercer, who said, “It’s large and warm—kind of a home for me. I spend a lot of time there.” Debbie Gutshall said, ‘I think I like the library the best. You can sit in a pleasant and warm atmosphere. | feel that I can study best there.”’ Other persons agreed that the cafeteria was a favorite place. ‘‘I like to go into the lunch room. It is bright in there, plus there’s room enough for all your friends to get together,’’ Dianne Nordman explained. While students had _ favorite classrooms, some would rather have been outside. As Philip Culbreath said, “Rooms that have outside windows are my favorites because | can look outside and wish | was there.”’ Indiana congressman John Hiler addresses students dur- ing a morning assembly. Mr. Hiler, who came to speak with government classes, stressed the importance of in- volvment in politics. Steve Wilson holds the ladder for Derrick Houston while building background stage props in technical theatre for the all-school musical ‘‘Damn Yankees.”’ Commenting on B-106’s temperature, Mrs. Sondra Walker’s third hour World Literature and Composition class pretends to shiver from the “arctic air.”’ “The EACC television class is my favorite class because it is a career that | am planning to follow. It’s hands-on train- ing at a college level, and you are treated with respect. It is more than just a class you have to be in; it is more like a job that in the long run | will get paid for. ’ —Kurt Harrison The Places We Learn... 37 38 What Time Is lt? ‘‘My worst hour of the day is fifth hour.

Also the teacher closes the curtains so we can see the overhead, but it makes me tired.” —Susan Johnson SNe INN tahinct Vince Culbreath and Twila Stevenson make use of the library’s being open during lunch and before school. Debbie Yohn and Dennis Reames arrive at school early to catch up on homework that, with a friend, is helpful, or even fun. —— The time makes a difference “Ring” goes the late bell as Doreen stumbles into her first hour English class. Doreen tries to keep her eyes open as she reads her assignment. “... Doreen ... Doreen ... DOREEN are you paying attention,’ asks her teacher. “Huh?” says Doreen as she tries to think of something to say. Her classmates around her begin to laugh. For some, it’s hard to get into the mo- tion of things so early in the morning. Janell Harper says, ‘‘The worst part of the day is in the morning because you're not really ready to talk or express yourself. For some students, staying up to watch the late movie or M-TV the night before can make them sleepy during school. Sonja Campbell says her worst hour is third hour. “‘I’m really excited about lunch being right after this class so I’m restless. At 10:55 I keep thinking that lunch is in just five more minutes,” she said. Tom Bailey’s best hour is fourth hour. “I have computer keyboarding fourth hour. It’s interesting to see how fast you can read with your hands and how well your memory is,”’ he said. Wendy Zinich said fourth hour is her best hour because, ‘‘I’m not hungry. I just got back from lunch, and I’ve been out of school for almost an hour.”’ “Sixth hour (science) is my worst,” said Bob Boone. “‘I’m dying to get out of school and it’s pretty hard to wait.”’ Meanwhile, it’s five minutes until the final bell. Doreen looks at the clock for the tenth time. It seems to slow down. Then she notices a sign, that says, “Time will pass, will you?” With that thought, she leaves the school as the bell begins to ring. While filling out a tardy slip, Sherry Brown, like a lot of other students, thinks how she can get to class on time. After completing a British Literature exam, Pam Irving has time to catch up on her sleep while Judy Foerster talks to her neighbor. “My worst time of the day is in the morning because I’m very grouchy when | get up. | don't really tke to see people when | wake up.”’ —Reesa Scott ‘‘My worst hour of the day is fourth hour.

It used to be boring and dull, but he makes it pions and fun. He adds variety to his class and gets students involved.” —Pam Seidner ee any things go into making a good teacher, and, according to students polled by Monolith, en- ) usiasm is a major factor in making a good pacher. | “Mrs. (Jane) Poe’s enthusiasm and at- y;mpts to get students involved with the Hories you read even made King Arthur and aesar fun to learn about,’ admitted tephanie Dunn. “Mr. James Mayes’ enthusiasm rubs off 1 his students. He wants everyone in the F room to learn the subject matter he is hing, not just the bright ‘A’ students. His planations are thorough and easy to low,’ replied one student. Mr. Mayes agrees that enthusiasm is im- mtant and adds, ‘‘A teacher can’t expect lents to be interested if the teacher A though enthusiasm is important, often the little things that teachers do that ddents respond to. A smile or compliment | Teachers aren't ‘monsters’ Mrs. Janet Hales helps Dan Boveri with a project. “Mrs. Hales is very patient.

She never hesitates to admit that she has made a mistake, which makes her easier to relate to.”’ Educational games also can help make a class more bearable. “‘In Mrs. (Rita) Raval’s class we broke a pinata and played Spanish Monopoly and Concentration, which made learning more fun,” admits Shawn Vantine. Another student added, “‘I like having boy—girl contests in algebra. It’s fun to rub it in to the girls when we win.” Often a different approach to a class can make it more interesting. “Mr. (George) Riebs tells jokes and speaks to us in dif- ferent languages and with different accents which helps make the hour go by more quickly,’ stated one sophomore. Another factor students polled felt was important was that the teacher take time to explain assignments and challenge them to The ‘‘Monsters ’ We Learn From i; 41 “A good teacher isn't always serious and doesn’t pile on the homework. A good teacher also has to enjoy kids and teaching and show enthusiasm.” —Crystal Long “I! consider Mr. Litherland to be an effective teacher. He makes band especially fun because he often tells us jokes, lets us have joke con- tests, or just occasionally says something funny. He's very enthusiastic about the music program and really makes us want to get more involved. —Wendy Duff “| like Mrs. Kennedy because she always en- courages students and is glad to help. She tells everyone that they have potential and makes them believe it.’’ —Mike Cherepak “Mr. Catanzarite has never ending patience. He can listen to twenty kids give speeches and still consider each as im- portant as the last. He never gets bored, even if the topic is the failing economy of Bangladesh. ’’ —Twyla Blumenberg learn. Lori Jenks commented, ‘Mr. (Richard) Lutey is always around when you need help and is always willing to help anyone with a problem. He also does a good job explaining in class.”’ Naryan Solow added, ‘‘He challenges students and teaches at a higher level so we will work harder and learn more.”’ The thing about Mrs. Marilyn McCasland that impressed Judi Wine was that “she is willing to go that extra mile to help a strugg}- ing student, yet she demands the student’s very best work. If a person doesn’t under- stand something, she will go over the material as a class, and even individually help that student learn.”’ The students polled also felt that teachers who care about students are the ones that they learn more from. One sophomore said that her favorite teacher ‘‘makes learning more interesting because he makes you feel that you can do things.”’ 42 The ''Monsters'' We Learn From ‘‘Mrs. (Eleanor) Bell really wants us to ?) well. When we did our research papers $2) gave us her phone number so we could cll if we had any problems. Not many teach¢s) would do that,” recalled Pam Fager. | According to art teacher Mrs. aaa Hales, ‘“‘A good teacher is not only terested in the subject that they ¢ teaching, but, more importantly, in t students. The students are the most imp tant part of teaching, and a good teach will show his students that he cares abqt them as individuals, as well as abat teaching them something.”’ Students like to complain about teaches, just like teachers like to complain abat students. It’s a kind of a “profession! pastime,” but, according to the studers polled, teachers aren’t the monsters tht students make them out to be. Instead, thy say, Memorial has many fine teachers. 4 Laura Loutzenhiser learns that taking care of the machine is an important aspect of Mrs. Cindy Evers’ sewing class. Some teachers, like Mr. Ted Noffsinger, cross country coach, devote time to extra-curricular activities. Mrs. Marilyn McCasland assists Darcy Soard with an assignment in an office machines class. Mrs. McCasland also teaches typing and business communications classes. Mrs. Roberta Litherland dances with a rhythm and dance class. She used her dance experience to choreograph drill team, Gold Rush, and ‘‘Damn Yankees’”’ dance numbers. Knowing that students need extra help to understand assignments, Mr. Richard Lutey assists Gene Rhinesmith with a physics lab. “Mr. Lund encourages his students to do the best they can and he cares about the way students treat each other.” —Tina Allen “Mr. Lutey is by far the best teacher | have ever had. From the starting bell to the end, you are totally in his control. He is Memorial's mad scientist. If you don't learn anything in his class you must be deaf, dumb, and blind.”’ —Shawn Rogers The ''Monsters'' We Learn From 43 | feel I'm learning a lot in government. Anyone who has Mr. Riebs would understand- he can take something boring and get your attention. —Lisa Carte “| like the computer class because it is helpful by teaching us to use something that will ultimately rule our lives. —Steve Siebert 44 The Classes We Take The classes you take May affect your future plans Number one question: Is taking this class worth my time? A high percent of the students asked this question of themselves almost everyday, but what is the answer? Classes are designed to help prepare students with their future whether they are required or not required. Some students took classes during the day just to fill in some credits or just simply to expand upon a long time interest or hobby. Lynn Cerafico commented on her elective rhythm and dance class, “I really enjoy this class because it gives me the chance to loosen up and cool down before lunch, and that way | don’t feel too hungry.”’ Although many students admit they en- joy their non-required classes, more or just as many of the students admit that their re- quired classes were more interesting alld worthwhile. Wendy Zinich said, ““The bes required class I have taken was speech) class. It’s very important for one to know) how to talk in front of people and that’ what this class promotes.”’ Memorial counselor Dr. David Floral agreed that one important fact that man students overlooked was that they were at tending a public high school which provide free classes in many fields to all those wh attend. If more students would take advan tage of classes that are informative and con structive in the areas of interest toward their future career plans, perhaps fewe students would have asked themselve whether the classes they were taking were waste of their time, he noted. i Personal typing can be helpful in teaching students typ- ing skills as demonstrated by Tina Eveland and Lisa Redmond. Philip Pettis puts his ideas into an original clay creation in his advanced art class instructed by Mrs. Linda Kennedy. Swimming is required for all sophomores while taking gym class. Learning new skills in swimming can be life saving. At the Career Center, students in auto machanics work on customer cars for experience as they develop their skills. “| think speech was the most helpful class because it oh me the confidence that elped me through Speech Team. —Lynn Harris “| think a foreign language should be required because I've learned a lot in Spanish and this has helped me understand my English a little better. — Sylvia Groulx The Classes We Take 45 “| liked participating in Mock United Nations in World Studies.

Home economics teacher Mrs. Cindy Evers finds that using worksheets rather than reading from the text book helps to keep the class interested. “Many students have difficulties in reading, which in turn discourages them from taking part in the lesson,” said Mrs. Evers. For others, simple things like having a radio on during class seem to help students feel more relaxed, according to art teacher Mrs. Janet Hales. Stacy Kirkendoll says Mrs. Carolyn Shelton’s math classes are more interesting because she conducts boy verus girl con- tests using math problems, for a change of pace. World History teacher Mr. John Stinespr- ing has projects such as the “Vietnam Unit,” a series of books about Vietnam that is read to the class. That helps the class stay in- terested in the class itself. “You are always busy in physical education. Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Litherland and Mrs. Tubbs encouraged us to cheer each other on, and they cheered with us.”’ —Kathy Myers “I was learning to make crafts and had a good time in Home Arts. Mrs. Evers taught us to make padded picture frames, cross stitch, counted cross stitch, soft sculpture and crocheting. ’ —Loreena Crise The Ways We Learn... 47 “My art teachers, Mrs. Hales and Mr. Wolber, give a number of projects at a time.

English teacher Mrs. Eleanor Bell changes the poster on her desk every week, the subjects ranging from mountains to unicorns. “It gives us new ideas. One poster was a picture of a dog and a cat cuddling. It said, ‘It’s because we're so different that we have so much to share.’ It reminded me of my mother trying to get me to like the girl next door,’’ said Tammy Ross. During class, government teacher Mr. George Riebs speaks occasionally to the class in foreign languages and dialects. He also shares some of his own experiences which relate to the subjects being discussed in class. Aside from skits, games and other varia- tionsin the learning process, many students agreed that being on their own and working at their own pace was an activity in itself that they considered beneficial. Karen Trimmer models a nightshirt and robe during a fashion show in Mr. James Tracy’s French class. Torso stretches along with other stretches are a part of the daily warm-up activities in rhythm and dance class. Netherlands exchange student Peter Amse demonstrates his own language for his German class. “Mr. Tracy's second year French prayed Monopoly | g ames in front of the class.” | — Gretchen Holtz | “In Individual Research in English, | can go at my own pace and not worry about a teacher looking over my shoulder.’’ —Cheryl Mann Lisa Long examines the vest she is sewing before handing it in for Home Ec. teacher Mrs. Cynthia Evers to grade.

Physical Education teacher Mr. Al Jackson tells his 5th hour basic swimmers that they will begin by ‘‘bobbing” and eventually will be swimming across the pool. The Ways We Learn 49 ‘Humor plays a large part in classes. If a class is laughing, the shy person in the corner is more likely to get involved.” —Sue Bradley “Humor is very important in class so you don't get bored. One time, my teacher was writing something on the overhead and he had to leave the room. The word ‘fit’ was on the overhead and a student erased the ‘f’ and put a ‘z’ in its place to make ‘zit.’ The teacher kept on talking and when he noticed it, he laughed until he cried.’’ —Loretta Armstrong Changing roles makes Chris Elliott break out laughing, as she discusses the pros and cons of marriage immediately after high school during a home economics class. The student center becomes a good place for horseplay that results in laughter for friends as shown by Connie Barker, Teresa Corpe and Stacy Arenz. Bubble gum and its resulting bubbles can take away some of the boredom in a class. Maribeth Billey demonstrates with a rather small model. Although acting and directing classes are often very serious Dorothea Boyd and Chris Hemminger manage to find a way to laugh at themselves. Funny business during class While most persons expect humor to appear regularly on television and radio, students were often pleasantly surprised to find that the classroom had _ its humorous moments, too. For a large number of students, the teacher was the source of humor in the classroom. Jeffery Peete said that he thought Mr. George Riebs was “hilarious,” and explained that “humor makes you feel loose and relaxed. That means you have a better chance of learning.”’ Different teachers used different methods in communicating with students. This meant that some teachers were funny without realizing it, and Mr. John Stinespring was no exception, ac- cording to his students. Nina Hickman ‘said, “| think humor and laughter are } good everyone alert, 'Stinespring talks, but too much of him in the classroom. They keep especially when Mr. could drive a person crazy.” Gretchen Holtz also thought humor to )be a big plus in class, but she added a ‘caution. She said, ‘“‘Humor is good, ex- cept when a teacher tries to be funny and isn’t. They end up making a fool out of themselves. Humor bring s on a sense of closeness in class, especially in English. It makes people unafraid to speak out.”’ ““Just the people in the class make it funny,” said Dorothea Boyd. ‘My fun- niest class is second hour acting and directing, taught by Mrs. Sondra Walker. The people are so funny in there, especially me! Everyone is so talented. Mrs. Walker gives us pantomimes (acting without words) on the spur of the mo- ment and we come out with really funny things. That class is so hilarious that if a producer came in and saw us we would automatically make a top comedy show..”’ Not all people see humor in the same way, according to Mrs. Janet Hales. She explained, ‘‘Humor is a release. A sense of humor doesn’t always mean telling jokes. Humor is a way of looking at life and being able to laugh at yourself and finding things laughable in situations which would otherwise make you angry or cry.” “When a teacher is humorous with the class, the students tend to pay more attention, and the like the class a lot more, whic might make them try a lot harder.” —Lori Smith “I feel humor plays a large part in learning in a class. If you can associate things you're learning with funny incidents, it's easier to remember.” —Tim Bennett Humor in the Classroom 5] “I enjoy class discussions because they take away a lit- tle of the discipline of the classroom without taking away the learning.” —John Minichillo Discussions are a vital part of learning. It gives the students a chance to express their individuality on the topics at hand. ’ —Stephanie Grant 52 Discussions All talk and no play doesn’t necessarily make Jack a dull boy. ‘‘Too many students sit idly through their classes listening perhaps to the teacher the whole hour or just playing secretary while taking notes dic- tated from the ‘boss,”’’ said Lisa Hess. This is where discussions step in and save those }jdull classes from the “everyday blahs.”’ || “Class discussions are great! They get the }jstudents involved. Sometimes it’s neat to ear a teacher ask what we (the students) hink about certain ideas relevant to the subject we are studying,” added Michele |Simper. | Class discussions can really be the dif: ference between an A andaBoraD anda . In some classes at Memorial, students who participate in active discussions create ja better understanding of the subject than those who don’t participate, comments uidance counselor Mr. Robert Mayotte. j[racy Ferrie explained, ‘‘Usually, expressing Discussions: revive classes yourself to the teacher through discussions allows the teacher to see that you really are understanding the topic.”’ Matt Poff said, ‘‘In senior government classes there have been terrific results in- volved with Mock Congress and_ the students who took this class.’’ Mr. Gordon Byrd commented that basically what hap- pens in Mock Congress is the students write bills which are brought to the floor and debated upon by the class. This gives all the students a chance to voice their opinions on the subjects which are brought up, whether controversial or just debatable. Although most students enjoy class discussions and think they are worthwhile, there are students who would rather spend their time doing material work and keeping their own ideas and thoughts to themselves.

Discipline includes the individual’s responsibility for completing homework, as this student did in study hall. @ ® e © Discipline is key! “Behavior is critical. Disruptive behavior distracts the individual as well as the class and teacher,’ Mrs. Carolyn Shelton, mathematics teacher, pointed out in an interview on the subject this year. Comments from students -who filled out MONOLITH surveys in February showed many students shared the views expressed by Mrs. Shelton. “Behavior affects learning in that if a student is acting up, then the whole class is disrupted. Good behavior is when you sit and listen to the teacher and don’t “smart back.” Bad behavior is when a person ‘“‘smarts off’’ and interrupts a class,” Moni- que Atkinson explained. Lori Jenks added, “If a student is misbehaving, he or she is not learning and is causing others not to learn.” Not only does student behavior affect the in- dividual’s learning, it can also have its effects on the class as well, according to Karen Trimmer. She said, “‘Behavior problems have a lot of effect on learning. If there is a ‘“‘class clown” in the room, right away students know they can get away with anything. Students with disruptive behavior in- fluence those around them. If teachers give in easi- ly, the disruptive student takes advantage right away, and that causes the whole class to react. | think good behavior comes from how the teacher runs the class. If the teacher comes on as being strict, then the students know they are to work.”’ Whether the teacher or the student is responsible for the classroom’s learning atmosphere, most students responding to the MONOLITH survey agreed with Keith Schmidt’s point that if behavior is bad, ‘‘you won’t be able to make the grade.” Playing any type of musical instrument, such as the cello, takes a lot of work and concentration as Eric Weaver demonstrates. 4 Good behavior is going to class, thinking positively and trying to learn. Bad behavior is the opposite-not going to class on time, causing trouble in class and speaking without being noticed. —Toni Nix ‘“M hilosophy in diseipline Ms to be Fr’ fair, and friendly, and in that order.

It may be the night of the choir concert when all of your hard work pays off with an exciting performance. It may be shaving 30 seconds off your best time for running the mile in gym. Accomplishment isn’t always a blue ribbon or a trophy. It can happen in quieter ways, such as the feeling of pride you get when you know you have done your very best. Many teachers encourage students to achieve by recognizing their accomplishments in front of the class. Others have their own techniques to show appreciation for good work. “If you receive an ‘A’ on a paper of any kind in Mrs. Bell’s class, she will put little stickers saying ‘well done,’ ‘great job’ on it. This may sound a lit- tle elementary, but it’s nice to know that some teachers recognize good work!’’ said Karen Pringle. “When I have accomplished something in school, most of my teachers say, ‘Good job,’ but Mrs. Raval says, ‘Muy bien,’ said Jennifer Smith. ‘At the Career Center, I try to do the best job | can. If you do something better than anyone else, for example, if you make a weld better than anyone else in the class, the teacher will make sure everyone sees that weld so they will try to do a better job,’’ said Bob Bloss.

Every year, students from the music and art departments participate in contests to show their achievement at the district, state, and even national levels. Weeks and sometimes months of prac- tice culminated in one performance for the instrumental, vocal and piano students who performed in the district Indiana State School Music Association contest. In- strumental students celebrated the first time achievement of earning all first and second division ratings. Art students entered paintings, draw- ings, printmaking designs, three- dimensional art and photography in the 58 Rewards and Achievements regional Scholastic art Awards competitior in South Bend, and 18 Gold Key winners ad vanced to final judging in New York Another 64 honorable mentions - Memorial the highest number of awards any Elkhart area school.

Gone were the dreaded “‘two-a-days’”’ (practice two times a day). Coach Rems had installed a new schedule, similar to that of many other high schools. Two weeks before the season opener against South Bend Adams, Memorial’s prospective football players reported for practice at 9 a.m. Players brought their lunch and spent eight hours at the school in classrooms and on the field. With superior preparation in mind, the coaching staff was increased; Bill Erlacher, Jim Hales and Pat Hinton were added. With their help, the of- fensive and defensive lines received individual attention. Erlacher was to stay on all season as defensive line coach while Hales and Hinton aided the team with their efforts during the first two weeks of practice. With the added coaching and the enthusiasm of the players the sum- mer practices were a great success. When the team entered their first game they were ready. After two disappointing seasons, the team was able to bounce back and compile a 7-3 record, with the three losses going to Penn, state champions; South Bend St. Joe, state semi-finalists, and city rival, Central. Culminating a successful season with an impressive win over South Bend Clay, the Charger football pro- gram was back on track. dh ark CILrner During hot summer practices, exhausted players retire to Memorial’s air-conditioned halls before afternoon practice.

Even though the Charger volleyball players had to crawl out of bed every morning during sum- mer for eight o'clock practice, they managed to drag their aching bodies back to school for practice at one o'clock and still give 100 percent. The team was lacking in one area: experience. With only one returning senior and three returning letter- women, the team did not have much varsity playing time. Two of the nine varsity players who started off the year were sophomores. We had plen- ty of enthusiasm, hard work, and a will to win, which helped us to im- prove and gain enough confidence to win some tough matches. After a shaky start with losses at their own invitational, the Chargers surprised many teams with their im- provement. The high point of the season was at the Concord Invita- tional in which the Chargers took 4th place. During that invitational, we beat Jimtown, who had _ already beaten us twice earlier in the season. They were amazed that we did it. They cried and we celebrated—it was great! The 1983 record may not be too impressive, but, unfortunately, records don’t show improvement and hard work. Next year, the team will be boasting nine returning letter- women who have gained confidence, skill and a whole lot of experience.

When anyone was hurt or had a bad day running, there was always someone to lean on. However, I don’t think our team ever reached our full potential,’’ said Elaine Whybrew, the only senior. The team felt that the highest point of the season was the Goshen- Prairie Heights meet because we had a lot of personal best times. Coach Noffsinger felt sectionals were a bit of a disappointment; we had several injuries, including our number one runner, and our running was not the best. Our team had spirit and a great feeling of friendship. The boys’ team helped us a lot during meets by cheering us girls on. In return, we attemp- ted to cheer on all 27 boys at each race.

We were a young team but he worked with us and gave us the confidence that we really needed and showed a very positive attitude toward we players. I feel what hurt our team the most this year was that too many of us were thinking of ourselves, rather than supporting the team. Even though our record doesn’t show it, we had a pretty good season. We played teams that play tennis all year-around.

However, the fact that other teams had practiced more than we had didn’t stop us. We worked long and hard before and during our season and were determined to play to the best of our ability. When we did lose a match, we didn’t just give up. We came right back the next day determined to win the next time.

Our coach asks for sugges- tions and the traditional responses are to have a winning season, a win- ning NIC record, and to win sectionals. But unfortunately, we ended with a losing season (8-10), a losing NIC record (4-5), and we lost a _ heart- breaker to Concord in the sectional final. It is very frustrating and disappoin- ting to put so much time and energy into basketball and not excel as well as you would like. You begin to feel as though you're letting down your coach, school, and fans. Our whole team wanted to win sectionals so badly, not nearly as much for ourselves as for those who sup- ported us.

As long as | have participated in athletics, | have never been on a team quite like this one. We played well together, we had great com- munication, and we worked hard, hustled, and always gave our best. Another important factor is that we were all friends. It wasn’t uncommon for us to get together and go out to eat, go over to each other’s houses, or just talk in the cafeteria. After thinking about this, I couldn’t feel down anymore. After all, winning games isn’t everything. As a matter of fact, I place it secondary to such things as teamwork and the ability to get along with each other. Our record and statistics may not show it but the 1983-84 girls’ basketball team did have a winning season. Lisa Willis gains possession of a jump bali at the South Bend Riley game. She averaged at least nine points per game. Showing the style that helped make the South Bend Riley game her best with 12 points, Jenny Hershberger eyes her shot, hoping for a basket.

NV Boys’ Basketball 79 ‘Big factor is fan support’ Many people take time to make our basketball team a success. Without all these great people our team would be just ordinary. A lot of people think basketball ends in the spring, but for the players and coaches they are already preparing for next season. Some players at- tend basketball camps in the sum- mer and others meet on courts all over town. Our coaches are con- stantly looking for new plays or defenses that just might win them that big game. All these dedicated people help make our team a success. There are many people who make sure our game runs_ smoothly. Among those people are officials, ushers, people selling tickets, con- cession stand workers, etc. But the biggest factor we have is our fan support. Our cheerleaders and fans are like a sixth player on the court, they fire up our team and keep us going when we're down. All these things give our team the extra edge. It isn’t just the coaches and players but a combination of all these things to lead our team on to victory.

Tide sets school records The 1983-84 version of the Crimson Tide held its own with teams that were two and three times greater in number while com- piling a 4-5 record in the NIC and a 6- 10 overall record. Coach Stan Robinson felt the 1983-84 season went ‘very well, con- sidering the fact that we had only 12 swimmers and three divers. The smaller number of swimmers allow- ed for one time in the water, which really paid off when sectionals came around.’ The 6,000 yard workouts did pay off for the Tide during the season and at the sectional meet. Every member of the Tide had at least one personal best time and three new school records were also established. Scott Swaney, Tom Housand, Larry Tepe, and Mark Ejikenberry set a new mark in the medley relay. Tepe Co-captain Tom Housand who placed 25th at state, speeds through the water with great precision. also set a new school record in the butterfly as he was the Tide’s only sectional champ. Other season highlights included an 88-82 first time victory over South Bend Clay. Tepe and Housand both qualified for the state meet where Tepe was 29th in the butterfly and Housand was 25th as he bet- tered his school mark in_ the breaststroke for the second time this year. Tepe summed up the season by saying, ‘Individually the season went really well and we did good as a team, considering all of the swim- mers we lost last year.’ Mark Hinton, sprint specialist added, ‘We were a young as well as small team so we will be more ex: perienced and have more depth next season.’ Boys’ Swimming 83 Early morning practices paid off for letter- winner Eddie Henderson as he placed 11th at sectionals.

Seth Bussert concentrates on his dive before plunging into the cold water during a practice dive before a swim meet. ‘| did well on This year was a really good year for diving. Everyone practiced hard and we did well in the meets. At the beginning of the year, there were six divers and before half of the season was over, there were only three, Eddie Hender- son, Rod Yoder and myself. We had to be in school at 6 a.m. and practiced every morning un til 7:15. It got pretty monotonous after the first couple of weeks, but we wouldn't have to practice on days when we had meets. When we were doing a dive during practice, we really didn’t worry about smacking the water or goofing 84 Boys’ Diving up. We just did the dive like we were supposed to.

Aside from the excitement of fin- ding out you made it, there is also the commitment that goes along with cheerleading. Unlike other sports, the JV cheerleaders have to work for nine months out of the year instead of just three or four like other sports. There is work and time involved in being a cheerleader that people don’t even realize. People usually think that all that is involved in cheering is jumping and clapping at the same time. ‘Well, | wish people ho think like that could come to some of our practices and find out 't’s not really that easy,’ said Penny Pippenger, one of the JV : iv cheerleaders Ann Blackwood and Anita enzel, along with the varsity cheerleaders, aise fan support at a home basketball game. cheerleaders. Cheerleading tryouts are held in April and practices start in the mid- dle part of July. We usually don’t stop practicing until the end of boys’ basketball season, which is in the end of February. When asked if all this hard work does pay off, Mickey Wyatt said, ‘Yes, because when we went out on the floor at games, we knew what we were doing.’ Anita Wenzel added, ‘I think the work paid off because | feel it will help me next year for tryouts.’ Games are a big part of cheering. Cheerleaders are involved in other events such as pep sessions, com- petition, clinics in the summer and many activities during spirit weeks. Cheerleading may not ‘be the hardest sport at Memorial, but it involves much more time and work than people realize or give us credit for. cheerleader, before a basketball game. ches, Ann Blackwood and Penny Pippenger.

Little did I know, though, how hard it is to start such a story and | was stumped on how to begin for many days. After all, cheerleading isn’t really a sport in the sense that | could write about our wins and losses. We don’t have tournaments, sectionals, playoffs, Memorial- Central games or winning seasons. All we have at the end of our season are happy memories to recall when the occasion presents itself. I say happy, because it doesn’t really matter what kind of a season the team had. It does, but that’s not what we remember. We remember the friendships we made, the jokes that were played and what a great time it was in our lives. 86 i} Varsity Cheerleaders The cheerleading season starts in June and goes until the following March. During this time, contrary to what spectators see, we don’t just cheer at football and _ basketball games. There are practices, competi- tions, clinics, planning and prepara- tion of pep assemblies, making ban- ners and accomplishing anything else that gets thrown our way. Sometimes in the summer, we practiced all day, just trying to work out a cheer so it was the best that we could make it. And after spending so much time with a select group of people, friendships are bound to blossom and grow. With these friend ships come the practical jokes. | remember one time when Julie Gaydos and | played a very funny joke on Teresa Corpe. The squad was out practicing in the gym and Mrs. Litherland sent Julie and | into the locker room to get something. When we got in there, we saw that Teresa had left her locker unlocked so we took all of SEATED: Marcia Rabb and Michelle Simmons. STANDING: Teresa Corpe, Julie Gaydos, Jennifer DuBois and Kelly Chris. After bouncing the basketball while fans yell “GO,” the cheerleaders pass it to Michelle Sim- mons who slams it through the hoop. her clothes and her purse and hid them. When we all came back in to get dressed at the end of the hour, Teresa went to her locker and just stood there looking into an empty locker and looking very confused. When she went to tell Mrs. Litherland that her things had been stolen, Julie and I put everything back in the locker the way it was before. We all broke out laughing because the look on Teresa’s face was so funny! Even with all of the hard work and fun times we have together, the best thing we share is the feeling of ac- complishment that comes when we cheer. Psyching the fans up at a game gave us a feeling of satisfaction that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. ‘“‘We’re number one,’”’ shouts Teresa Corpe at the annual Memorial-Central basketball game. The Chargers downed the Blazers 75-65. Aside from firing up the crowd at football and basketball games, the cheerleaders also worked with Pep Club to plan pep assemblies. Three-year cheerleader Marcia Rabb leads the student cheering section in a chant at the game with cross-town rival Central. Performing a chorus-line kick, the JV cheerleaders join the varsity squad in a timeout cheer at the Memorial-Central game. “C-H, C-H, C-H-A-R, G-E, G-E, G-E-R-S. C-H-A-R- G-E-R-S ... CHARGERS,” chant the varsity and JV squads at the Michigan City Elston game. ‘ Varsity Cheerleaders jf 87 First sectional crown It’s now my turn to com- pete. I have to stay on the beam.

Our five-woman optional team, consisting of seniors Maxi DeShone, Teresa Corpe, junior Stephanie Reich, and sophomores Anita Wenzel and Jennie Boling, took the award with pride.

They consisted of senior Connie Barker, juniors Kelly 88 Girls’ Gymnastics Chris and Moni Goudarzi and sophomores Anne Conches, and Mickey Wyatt, and freshmen Shonne Slack, Andrea Howard and Tracy Smith.

Both could very likely have been semi-state or state potential. Other wrestlers lost were Dave Eli, Paul and Pat Cummings, and Ron Wright.

Wrestling 9] 92 if In Training In the off-season Athletes ‘weight’ around Two rooms that help give Charger athletes their winning edge are the weight and training rooms. The weight room was started in 1972 with two Universal weight machines, structures that contain eight different stations. One of the stations is the bench. It strengthens chest and tricep muscles. The squat rack builds leg muscles. Since 1972 the athletic depart- ment has purchased sets of free weights. Charger wrestler Scott Mills said, ‘I work out four days a week for two hours.”’ However, most athletes used the room three days a week for half an hour, as did Chas Taylor, a member of the swim team. All teams use the room during their season. However, each team uses different machines to develop the specific muscles that are used in their sport. Chas added, “Swimming requires building the arm and leg muscles. We use leg weights, bench press, and curls.”’ The training room, along with its facilities and student trainers, has helped many athletes who have had injuries. Lynnette Metzger, a student trainer, said, ‘“‘You learn’ the necessary methods from the faculty trainer and from experience. No CPR or first aid courses are required, but they are helpful. The main respon- sibilities of being a trainer include be- ing able to identify the problem, tap- ing correctly, icing, and applying heat. Taping is very important because incorrect taping can cause further injury.”’ The number of athletes treated each night depends on the number of injuries. The room was usually the busiest during the regular practice hours. Can a photographer make you laugh, even when you’re in pain? Cal Malone manages one while he gets his ankle taped by Coach Al Jackson. Many freshmen, such as Matt Ronzone, take ad- vantage of the weight room to get in shape before track season begins. Michelle Snyder, one of the student trainers, searches the well-stocked medicine cabinet for a bandage to soothe a Memorial athlete’s pain. “Icing’’ is one of the student trainer’s jobs. Lynette Metzger applies ice to the shoulder of Craig Nichols, a basketball player. With fierce determination, Mike McKibbin makes the effort needed to tone his muscles. Many athletes use the weights during their off season. ne ae ae | gp oe 1081 z ERAT MEMOMIDA WIG HOMO ; o ADRESS 5 Ka DUES, ih opel pb. c acl 7 3 , e = s z eae, © mee 4 Oe ee: [fies Me Ge re a TT Willen oe fore 2 = ste | ee Boe oe ao es ee ie fag se oS ise. = 8 ese. cae ee 2 Se HK Sia Q ee bom g gol Seen SS FE rms eg Poe Bee. 6S SiS.

For some, the days went quickly with only three or four classes while others’ struggled through the day with a full work load of six classes, finding their senior year to be their busiest ever. Many college-bound seniors spent their time and money enrolled in a variety of Indiana University freshman-level classes offered at EMHS, attended the annual college fair and licked dozens of stamps for envelopes con- taining college applications. And there were sports. Many senior athletes earned their third year letter while a few, who started participating as freshmen, received their fourth. The seniors accounted for a large percentage of the student The best part of being a senior is... “Along with being a senior goes the realization that we will be free and out in the world.

Seniors cheering section at football and basketball games and often were spectators at the minor sporting events. And there were friends. Although when the seniors entered EMHS as sophomores they had a lot of the same friends they'd had since grade school, they soon met new people and developed other friendships. Lunch hours were spent eating at local fast food restaurants, studying for a chemistry test in the library, or talking in the student center. And there were expenses. The majority of the seniors had part-time jobs to help them pay for activities throughout the year. After all, there were graduation announcements to be ordered, senior jewelry to choose, caps and gowns to be fitted and senior pictures to buy.

Seniors had it by the end of the year and showed it in the seemingly small things they did. Taking the S.A.T. one more time, actually looking for- ward to government class and Mock Congress and giving their best in their last high school productions, like the all-school musical, ‘“‘Damn Yankees.’’ They showed their piz- zazz when they weren’t embarrassed to go to the Winter Dance ‘‘Silver Bells’’ without a date, when they wrote their plans for the future in the last issue of GENESIS and when they began counting their remaining days after returning from spring break. They were noisy and assertive. They had learned over three years that what their peers thought wasn’t always the most important factor. They were carefree, yet at the same time they were responsible. They were ‘‘the king of the school,” ‘‘the top of the ladder,’ ‘‘the head honchos.”’ They were the seniors and wanted everyone to know it. Teresa Corpe, president, Stacy Arenz, treasurer, Connie Barker, secretary, and Jen- nifer DuBois, vice-president, planned end-of-the year senior activities. “You have more freedom over the sophomores and juniors.

Cindy Rader stated that the registration is a positive action on behalf of the country. She added that women should be forced to register as well as men. “I feel women should have to sign up, too.

Seniors Males who have reached the age of 18 must register within 30 days of their birthday. Failure to comply with the registration requirements could result in a five-year jail term or a $10,000 fine. When a person registers, it is a simple procedure and is completed at the local post office. The registeree is requested to complete a card with such information as name, birthdate and social security number. The person must also have a valid piece of identification. Although the process seems relatively simple, Rod Yohn said, “‘I think it’s scary because there is always a chance of going to war.” Rod Yohn fills out a draft card at the post office.

But on the inside, many of them were per- sonalized with pictures of television, rock and movie personalities. Some contained a collage of pictures, photographs and words describing the owner, while others displayed mirrors, ranging from pocket size to larger ones, often decorated with rock group logos.

Represen- tatives from various colleges fre- quently came to talk with interested students while other students gathered with friends or counselors to look at college catalogs. But some college-bound seniors took their planning one step further and scheduled visits to the schools that interested them. “College visitations are really im- portant. You can’t know what a school is like just by reading about it.

The source of all these varied bells is the telephone. Teenagers have been stereotyped as people who constantly talk on the telephone (talk-aholics), and, in truth, many teens admit to spending many hours on the phone. Some parents may often wonder what their children can _ possibly have to talk about with people they just saw at school all day. ‘Mostly, | talk to people about what's going on or what we are go- ing to be doing later in the week,”’ said John Floetker.

Vicki Claassen said that because she doesn’t have to pay phone bills, the change probably wouldn’t affect her, while Roni Bissell said that if the new proposal does take place, she might talk on the phone less and more at school.

Juniors | To MHS from Finland iving with a new fami- ly and going to school in another country has not only meant lots of ham- burgers and football games, but an interesting opportunity to learn and experience another culture. School here is really different from my school in Finland. The American high school offers so many things to do that it has become a great part of every teenager's life. To us in Finland, school means a place where we have to spend six or eight hours a day.

In Finland, the teenagers are pretty free to make their own decisions and the parents are considered more as_ friends. American parents are not as liberal, but it’s hard to say which is better. Going to school has given me a lot of new friends and it’s go- ing to be hard to leave. One thing I'll always remember about America is chocolate chip cookies.

We leave school about 5 p.m and spend 27 hours a week there. We have 90 minutes to eat, but there is no open lunch at my school in France. Anyhow, you have to be 18 to drive a car, so most kids don’t drive. The relationship between a student and teacher isn’t as good as it is in your country. You have to take 11 different classes, and every year you have the same ones, not being able to choose any of them. If you live in a big town, everyday is a fashion show. There is always some hot new fashion. Bandanas were the rage last year and all the girls wore miniskirts last year. The USA is a little behind in keeping up with Paris.

The juniors were just as excited to see their friends again as anyone else, but they weren’t quite as hysterical as the seniors who were celebrating their last year of high school on the first day, and they weren’t quite as awestruck as the sophomores, just beginn- ing their first day of high school. The juniors were just in the middle. Like old pros, they watched sophomores struggle with lockers and look for classrooms, finally being able to have someone under them. They weren’t the ‘big guys” yet, but they certainly weten’t at the bottom either. Many juniors received their licenses and were able to participate in carpooling and going out for lunch, while there were others who were content to remain at school during the lunch hour. Many juniors were taking full schedules. Some began their first year at the career center and a few had early release. And there were sports. After struggling through the JV season last year, hard work paid off for many who were moved up to the coveted varsi- ty team. And there were friends. The juniors seemed to know almost everyone. After all, they had gone to school with the seniors last year, and with the sophomores just a few years earlier. They spent lots of time with old and new friends going to school or getting together for weekend plans. And there were expenses. A lot of juniors bought all-sports tickets, ordered class rings and registered for the Scholastic Ap- titude Test (SAT), $11. And there was pizzazz. They showed it when they gave sophomores directions to A- 107, when they announced in December ‘Paris Under the Stars’’ as the theme for the prom, and when they wrote their first research paper in English class. They were ex- perienced; they knew the ropes of the school, and they hosted the biggest of the three classes with 475 members. They were the juniors and wanted everyone to know it. Speaking of . . .

A popular issue with jobs is pay. Many students complain that the minimum wage of $3.35 an hour isn’t enough with the cost of living and the soar- ing cost of college tuition fees. ‘The only thing that students can do other than working a part-time job for college money, is to give their best in school. With a good school record, your chances of getting scholarships, aids and grants are in your favor,” said Sylvia Groulx.

Juniors soaps better because they had characters with real problems. ‘IT only watch soap operas because there are no game shows on in the afternoon,” ex- plained one junior. The effects of soap operas on their viewers have been disputed. Although there is no proof as to the harms or benefits of soap operas, some viewers have their own ideas on the subject. “They (soaps) never have happy endings and sometimes, life does,”’ said Amy Clark. Whether they have happy en- dings or not, many MHS students rushed home after school and turned on the televi- sion to tune in on their favorite soaps.

Others, though, learned from scratch about the weight room, a place to work out three times a week when they wanted to get in shape for a new sport. And there were friends.

Probably anyone wishing to be included with everyone else who joined the fad of multiple ear piercing. As the popularity of pierced ears grew, girls weren’t the only ones getting their ears pierced, as some guys braved the needle and had their ears pierced also. “| did it to be different at the time and to stand out in a crowd,” said Mark Becker, who has his left ear pierced. Pierced ears offer many dif- ferent styles such as single, double and multiple piercing. In friendship piercing, a person had a certain number of earr- ings in one ear and a different number in the other. The “friendship” part included a friend getting HER ear pierced just the opposite (the guys didn’t care much for this one). “IT had my ears pierced like this as a symbol of my tie with my close friends,’ said Melissa McCollough, who had one ear pierced three times and the other pierced four. The popularity of having pierced ears is expanding. From the original single pierce came the double, triple and multiple piercing and some had finger- nails pierced, according to high fashion magazines. “Who Knows what the future piercings will bring. Maybe someday, we'll all be walking around with earrings in our noses,’’ said one sophomore. Although many parents ob- jected to multiple ear piercing, the students overruled the ob- jection by saying, “‘If it doesn’t look good, I can always let it grow back.’’ However, the students didn’t plan to let those holes grow back in, at least not until the fad of multiple ear pier- cing had become history.

Sophomores | | Cristina finds differences in schools eing an exchange stu- dent takes a little courage. You come to a foreign country to stay for a whole school year without knowing anyone and not speak- ing the language very well. One of the bigger problems students like me have is being homesick. I’m sort of used to being away from home, as the last two years I’ve attended a boarding school in France. The first weeks of school are really difficult. People look at you like you are something strange; they joke about the way you talk; they look at the clothes you wear as being ‘“‘fun- ny”; one teacher talks too fast and another talks too slow. Our schools in Europe are different than the ones here in the U.S.A. For example, in Spain, classes run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and again from 3 to 6 Kathleen Hilger Ryan Hills Geneva Hodge David Holdread Orville Holdren Christopher Holland Lisa Hollis Bobbie Holloway Jeffrey Holmes Larry Holt Gretchen Holtz James Hoover Jodi Hornor Rodney Hostetler Kimberly Hudson Larry Huff Martin Hughes Rickey Hunt Robert lavagnilio Anthony IInicki Raymond Ivers Kim Jackson Terry Jackson Travis Jackson Christopher Johnson Kimberly Johnson Regina Johnson Douglas Johnston Being exchange student ‘takes courage’ p.m., but you can’t choose your own classes. During the three hour break, everyone goes home to eat because we don't even have a cafeteria at our school. Here in the U.S.A., schools are based on sports. You finish school early so you can go to practice your favorite sport. In Europe, sports don’t count. You have a one-hour sports class twice a week and that’s it. After school, the only thing you can do is homework or go somewhere to learn a foreign language, which is what most people do to learn English. I think it’s really a great ex- perience to be an exchange stu- dent because you learn about a different country, a different culture and way of life and dif- ferent people.

I tried pulling it out but all I got was the stick. I end- ed up prying the apple from my teeth with a fork,” said Wendy. “Beautiful straight teeth” are the ideal dream of all brace wearers, but giving up favorite goodies is perhaps a sacrifice that wasn’t anticipated in the start. “Not being able to eat certain foods was a pain, but when | got my braces off and my teeth were straight, it was worth it,” said Andy.

Sophomores 137 Administrators tell of Memorial's pizzazz Editor’s Note: Coinciding with the theme “Speaking of pizzazz,’’ each ad- ministrator, including Vice principal Miss Carolyn Cook, Assistant principal Mr. Clyde Riley, Superintendent Dr. Frederick Bechtold, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Robert Franklin, and Director of Secon- dary Education Dr. Warren Breniman, was asked to express views of how the theme related to Memorial High School. The 1983-84 school year brought about changes in the administration as Dr. Bechtold replaced 13-year superintendent Dr. Richard Miller. And, after being the first and only prin- cipal in Memorial’s 12-year history, Dr. Palmer Mart retired at the year’s end. After 12 years of planning, working, building, dreaming and striving to make MHS a school set apart from all of the others, he retired with the satisfaction that it really is such a school. “The existence of Memorial’s ‘PIZ- ZAZZ’ is unquestionable. It makes a positive difference and sets MHS apart from most other schools. It en- compasses a bond of friendliness that binds everyone together as they work toward the attainment of com- mon goals, and it proclaims pride in the phrase, ‘We are Memorial!’ Our PIZZAZZ involves a ‘special spirit’ that one consciously senses when returning to MHS after experiencing its absence elsewhere. The existence of this phenomenon has been iden- tified and described by students and 138 Speaking . . . Administration staff members who have _par- ticipated in functions held in other high schools, as well as by numerous guests and resource people who visit Memorial. - PIZZAZZ exists at MHS because of its people and the pride they hold for their associations with the school. In essence, the basic ingredients in- volve a dedicated, knowledgeable and friendly staff that is accessible to students, a responsible and cooperative student body and an en- thusiastic supportive community of patrons. ‘Charger PIZZAZZ’ is also reflected in the positive image that others perceive about the school and the degree to which we feel good about ourselves. Our external PIZ- ZAZZ grows in direct relationship to the degree that our associations and actions cause others to want to iden- tify more closely with us. Our image is always on-the-line, regardless of whether it relates to scholarship, friendly relationships, good sports- manship or the acceptance of responsibility. The school’s PIZZAZZ did not hap- pen; it resulted from extensive plan- ning. Planned educational oppor- tunities at MHS have been translated into a friendly student-oriented work place, and they have resulted in hu dreds of awards, championships ar scholarships. We have all take pride in these accomplishments ar they have advanced our PIZZAZZ. No doubt, scholarship will play greater part in the school’s PIZZAZ in the future. We live in a cor petitive world and, more and mor the need for educational excellen is being recognized.

Because Kim Grall, daughter of scretary Mrs. Vicki Grall, attended © Career center in the morning and d just two classes at MHS in the ernoon, she said that she counted her mom to keep her informed of itivities like cap and gown orders mice she rarely heard the nouncements. jMrs. Grall admitted that even ugh she didn’t see Kim much dur- 1) the day, it was nice having her und as they saw each other only } weekends. “When I first came here (MHS), 2 was afraid I’d be the first to ow if she got into any trouble endance-wise and had to come to : Office. | get to see her more and | ny do know what’s going on with her. | also get to know her friends,” said Mrs. Grall. Kim Snellenberger agreed that having her mom, Mrs. Jackie Shellenberger, secretary, around wasn't so bad either. “She really comes in handy if | forget money for band fees or athletic tickets,’’ said Kim. Mrs. Snellenberger added, ‘“‘My children have always been involved with activities at school. The transportation issue has been eased, though, since we’re at the same place at the same time and we have about the same schedule,” she said. Stephanie Teal, daughter of math teacher Mr. Stan Teal, pointed out another side: ‘‘Sometimes, people think that it’s easier to get good grades when your dad is a teacher, or that you should know everything Kathy Parrott Bruno Pikoraitis Lawrence Pio Jane Poe Rita Raval Dale Rems Jack Ridens George Riebs Janet Riley Carolyn Shelton Richard Siler Camille Smith Sandy Stern John Stinespring Coe Strain Thirteen can't leave parents at home about math if he teaches math. I like to be considered an individual and it’s kinda upsetting when people on- ly relate and judge me by the fact that I’m his daughter,’ Stephanie said. Julie Siler, daughter of social studies teacher Mr. Richard Siler, agreed. ‘I was assigned to my dad’s class this year but I got my schedule changed because | didn’t want peo- ple to say that I got an ‘A’ just because he was my dad. When you get the answer in class, people say, ‘Oh, your dad probably helped you.’ But when you don't get it, they say, ‘You should know that—your dad’s a teacher,’ ” said Julie. ‘He sees a lot of kids—he’s up with how teenagers are. | think part of the reason that he’s so understan- ding is because he knows how kids have changed,” she added. Staff parents 143 — Mrs. Suzanne Lattimer finds time to help her husband, counselor and coach Mr. Michael Lat- timer, with some information prior to leaving her job as athletic secretary in March.

They are Mr. James Hales ind Mrs. Janet Hales, Mr. Donald itherland and Mrs. Roberta Litherland, Mr. Peter McCasland and Mrs. Marilyn McCasland, Mrs. Linda Xennedy and Mr. John Stinespring, Mr. and Mrs. Lattimer, and Mr. Clyde kiley and Mrs. Janet Riley (parents of a third son born March 20). “Understanding each other’s job, ind the extra time after the school hours that must be spent,” is an ad- vantage to Mrs. McCasland. ‘‘We both understand when the other has to work after school,’’ she added. “We work together on extra cur- ricular activities that I probably wouldn’t have taken on without his help” said Mrs. Hales. Mr. Hales thought that extra cur- ricular activities are a disadvantage. “It takes up a lot of our time together. One of us is always here doing something.” When asked if anything humorous has ever happened because they work together, Mrs. McCasland replied, ““When students ask my hus- band what I look like he tells them, ‘She’s huge! I’ll put it to you this way, if you’re get in an elevator with her you better hope you're going down!’ Then, when the _ students come to my room to look at me, they’re pretty surprised.”’ Mrs. Litherland said that she also preferred working together. “We work together. It would be impossi- ble for us to work at different schools. It’s so easy for us to discuss the drill team and band because we can do it anytime. He gives me helpful criticism and good advice.”’ “T really forgot they were married. They kept things so professional and you really didn’t think about it,” stated Jennifer Sears, Drill Team member. Chemistry teacher Mr. Peter McCasland points out something in his grade book to his wife, typ- ing teacher Mrs. Marilyn McCasland.

MHS staff helps contribute pizzazz there were jammed lockers to open, restrooms to keep clean, drinking fountains to polish, and lawns to mow. Their day didn’t end at 2:55 Long before students arrived at MHS each morning and long after they had gone home, 12 cafeteria workers, 15 custodians and 18 secretaries and aides were hard at work, preparing for the day or finishing up various tasks around the school. Cafeteria workers began prepar- ing for the day’s meal at 7:30 a.m. and when the lunch hour ended at 11:55, they were cleaning up the kit- chen, preparing and organizing for the following day. And the custodians? Two shifts of them were busy all day! After all, 146 } Staff either. There were halls to be vacuumed, wastebaskets to be emp- tied, dusty chalk boards to be wash- ed and fingerprints to be wiped off the main doors. Main office secretaries kept the hourly computerized attendance records, sent passes, took care of sick students when the nurse was away and answered the telephones. Guidance secretary Mrs. Marlene Taska finished her job in March after five years of scheduling counselir appointments and keeping perm nent records for students. Aides kept records, grade papers, ran errands, wrote receipt: made photo copies and thus becam indispensable. When drinking fountains sparkle halls were free of paper, cafeter workers served warm-from-the-ove cookies and college handbooks wel easily located in the guidance offic it was clear that every area at MH: down to the smallest detail, was ft of pizzazz.

We_ searched the departments, sent out five questionnaires that covered favorite lunches in the cafeteria to what the best part of being a senior was. We listened for unique activities happening in classes, had photographers carry their cameras with them constantly and even managed to take a few pictures when there was no film in the camera. But we weren’t disappointed, A great big thank you is deserving to each athlete who helped make the sports section more personal (and help alleviate our problem of a small staff) by writing the story for their respective sport. You gave personal details and “extras” that an ordinary reporter probably wouldn’t have found. Your willingness was most appreciated. Thank you also to members of the boys’ tennis team who willingly appeared at McNaughton Park two weekends in a row so that we could take pictures. Another thanks to the girls’ volleyball team who missed lunch and part of their classes on at least three dif- ferent occasions while we attempted to take some good shots of them in the gym. After the third try had failed, we called Mr. Bill Mosier from Mosier Photographics, who, along with Mr. Mike Vaughn, was responsible for most of the sports pictures, group shots, Winter Dance and Sadies pictures. Thank you MHS faculty and staff, especially for your cooperation with questionndires, late passes to your classes from A-104, and helping us identify pictures. Thank you to Miss McKeehan for listening to dozens of questions and knowing almost all of the answers and directing us to someone else who knew when she didn’t. Thanks go to ‘Mr. Jim Hales for making ‘sure’ the televisions were tuned:in to General Hospital for three days while Les lie died off the show and to the custodians for cleaning up our papers, scraps and scribbled designs and for keeping the pop machine full. Deep appreciation surely belongs to Mrs. Dean for not only volunteering to go get dinner at Rax on late work nights, but for pushing and prodding and encouraging us to keep working and to keep our spirits up. Thank you also to our representative Mr, Dick Kennard, whose advice that ‘People will forgive you if a book is late but they'll never forget it if the book is bad,” cheered us up when we felt down. And, thank you to H. L. Hall, instructor of Ball State Summer Journalism Workshops this past summer for your advice: ‘‘The first thing to do is throw away last year’s book ... this is your book and it should be different . . . it should be unique and it should be yours .. .”’ I hope we have accomplished just that.
