In every department are teachers who are deeply involved and enthusiastic about their subject. This motivates students more than any planned teaching technique. The supportive atmosphere enables everyone to perform to his best. This leads to individual growth and achieve- ment, which is the purpose for a school. What is your favorite music group?

One of these areas is athletics. The spirit which was generated by ad- ding the freshmen to Memorial’s stu- dent body was felt throughout the year. Many sophomores and freshmen went out for sports to gain experience and leadership necessary for filling the shoes of graduating seniors. Even though some of the teams were going through rebuilding seasons, the spirit was always there, and not just on the team itself either. Fans showed their spirit by taking two fan buses each to the Warsaw and LaSalle football games and one to each of the other away games. Students also had spirit when they went to other sports events such as tennis, cross country, and swimming. Accor- ding to Mrs. Phyllis Tubbs, assistant Leaning against the wall to do calf stretches is just one of the ways the volleyball team stretches out before games to avoid injury. Fighting against the odds, the Chargers gave Central a tough battle, limiting the state-ranked Blazers to only two touchdowns. athletic director, “The attendance at volleyball, swimming, and tennis mat- ches has definitely gone up this year. Parents of freshmen are especially sup- portive because sports is one thing they can really feel comfortable about their sons and daughters participating in.” No matter where you looked at Memorial, there were signs of athletic spirit. The wall of the Stu dent Center was a gallery of newspaper clippings and pictures of games from every sport. The Student Center also dis severdithe lighted showcase which held the John Longfellow trophy awarded to the win- ner of the basketball game between Memorial and cross town rival Central, along with many other trophies won by other Charger sports teams.

Some teachers had busier schedules, with more students in each class. “Class sizes in the math department have been large for the past several years. The average class was a little big- ger this year, but the large class sizes were most noticeable in the ninth grade general math classes. Last year these classes had 15-20 students, but this year the average class had more than 30,” said math teacher Mr. James Mayes. In past years, few teachers had six full classes a day. This year at least eight teachers, inclucias English teacher Mr. Larry Pio, did without a preparation period. ‘Having six full classes a day caused a lot of strain, because there just didn’t ever seem to be enough time to get everything done. I ina myself work- ing a lot of late nights, too, making up for that extra hour. Teaching almost became a seven-day-a-week job.” What is your favorite subject in school? Art Business English Industrial Arts Math Science Social Studies Some classes ranged from freshmen to seniors, and this had a different effect on different people. J. R. Robbins, junior, said, “I think it’s an advantage for freshmen and sophomores to be in classes with the up- perclassmen, because upperclassmen contribute their knowledge and advice.” “T think it’s very neat. You get to make more friends who are in different grades,” said freshman Mike Wolf. A teacher of one such class, however, was not as enthusiastic. “Freshmen and sophomores do not have the attention span that older students do, and their in- ability to stay ‘on track’ could sometimes decrease the quantity and quality of the course’s usual requirements,” she said. A sophomores said, “It’s always a lot more fun being with the older kids, but, unless you are a freshman, you have to be with the younger ones, too. So far, it has been a great experience meeting all these new people and having classes with them.” Rochelle Gubi and Cindy Goss learn how to in- terview each other for Mr. Frank Catanzarite’s speech class.

The special questions waiting to be answered this year were the concerns about the acceptance of the freshmen, the best use of space, the continuation of traditions, and the func- tions of student organizations. The great amount of brain energy spent was worth it, because everything came together. New students did their part to fit smoothly into the diverse student body, and it showed. The newly initiated freshmen teams and _ organizations showed outstanding aptitude and abili- ty. Organizations gained in strength as well as size. Mr. Donald Litherland, in- strumental director, observed, “The ad- dition of the freshmen increased the ge- nuine enthusiasm towards music- making, both in band and orchestra.” The building was reorganized to ac- commodate the increase of nearly 500 students, faculty, and staff. Some shop classrooms in C hall were converted in- to math rooms, a new computer room was set up to increase the number of computers to 68, and the different departments acquired 26 new staff members. New Indiana state laws provided that student organizations could not meet on recently lengthened school time. This might have made Memorial’s tradition of student involvement impossible, if the administration had not included ac- cumulated ‘‘bank time’ for field trips, early dismissals, and 10 minutes eke for organizational meetings. The administration and student body had major adjustments to make, but they came up with solutions and com- promises that made this year of change a resounding success. The recently reorganized Student Government makes up for a late start by concentrating on new business. Miss Pam Scott, a first year teacher and one of 26 additions to MHS, explains how to write a journal. Much of the school, including the library, was rearranged.

These delectable and inexpensive snacks� were produced by the kitchen staff under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Miller and her recipe (shown below). Stephanie Teal obse tved, “The cookies are made right in the cafeteria and often served warm. It’s a real treat, because they’re big and only cost 20. cents.” “Some students have been known to come and buy 16 cookies every day,” says Mrs. Miller. Jason Rasp said that he bought man cookies at a time because, ‘‘they’re real- ly good, and I can save them for after school before track practice.” Tom McCurdy munches on an old favorite, chocolate chip cookies and milk, “as a fitting finish to a good lunch.

For many students the answer was the same: the Student Center. “It’s a place to cool out,” stated Chuck Millslagle. “It’s nice to have a place where you can take a break from the pressures of the day and catch up on what is going on with friends.” Many students agreed with this state- ment. Each day, before school and at lunch, the Student Center was filled with students talking with friends, doing homework, and studying for tests. Major topics for discussions included sports, recent movies, homework, spring break and parties. Students also took part in many other activities in the Student Center. Dance tickets were sold, GENESIS was distributed and senior sweatshirt s were ordered in the Student Center. Students could not only be found sit- ting on the six benches that furnish the Student Center, but they could also be found leaning against the railing along the east and west walls, sitting on the floor and sometimes even lying on the floor. “T feel it would be a very big mistake (not to have a Student Center at EMHS). Students could go to the library, but you would have to be quiet in there. It just wouldn’t be fun without a Student Center,’ commented Dave Mark. The spirit of the Student Center changes with each new school year. New groups appear and take charge of the Student Center, adding a new atmosphere. Necessary for every major music performance are rehearsals held both in and out of school. The concert choir practices with director Mr. John Lund for their Christmas concert. Showing the importance of good posture and hand positions are members of the orchestra’s violin section, led by concertmistress Anne Gassere. iS ti iain inhale a Excellence continues) The Memorial Music Department upheld its reputation for excellence this year with, for the first time, freshmen joining the ranks. Band and orchestra director Mr. Donald Litherland was sur- prised by the maturity level of the in- coming freshmen. “Even though we now have freshmen, the group is really mature,” said Mr. Litherland, who also commented that this was one of the best wind ensembles, concert bands and or- chestras the school has ever had. Also new this year were the uniforms. The orchestra, marching band, Drill Team, and Gold Rush all received new uniforms. The staff seems to agree that they worked out nicely, as Mr. Litherland ‘sSaid;”) [They ware sophisticated, yet comfortable.” The year started out as a smashing success with the annual “Kaleidoscope” on November 15. ‘‘Kaleidoscope 84” in- cluded the studio orchestra, Drill Team, Gold Rush, and Jazz Band performing pieces as contrasting as a 50’s medley, an Oriental mambo, Leroy Anderson's “Sandpaper Ballet,” and a_ rousing hoedown finale featuring Drill Team members and five first violinists dressed as hillbillies. The show gave many solo instrumentalists, dancers and singers, as well as student teacher from Indiana University, Miss Cathy Kase, a chance to show their talents. The orchestra’s “Evening at the Popi concert, which consisted of a variety || Fels selections as well as some ig classics, took place in February. Th year’s “pops” concert featured mar student collate in Chuck Mangione “El Gato Triste” and a special arrangi ment by Penn High School band dire tor Keith Rudolph called “Space: Ti Final Frontier.” The Jazz Festival for area high scho jazz bands at Century Center in Januaj featured Northern Tilinois University jazz band, considered to be one of thi est jazz bands in the area, and we known jazz drummer Louie Belson. Tk Jazz Band was privileged to attend workshop with Mr. Belson on the day { the performance. | The senior concert in March gave th orchestra, wind ensemble, and conce band a chance to perform their conte pieces for an audience before Distrij Contest on April 20. Seniors in all thré organizations were recognized at th traditional concert. Gold Rush concluded the year in’ joint concert with the Jazz Band on Mé 10. The concert featured such selectiot as “Aquarius” and a Lionel Ric medley. Mr. John Lund, choir and Go Rush director, said, “The vocal sound: the group this year has been qui satisfying.” Laura Weber, Jeff Pawlak, and Reesa Scott show that choreography is an integral part of being a member of Gold Rush. Woodwind players, including flutes, oboes, and french horns, contributed to the wind ensemble, concert band, and orchestra with their solo per- formances, especially at contest. Uniform captain Tonia Taber fits wind ensemble member Wendy Duff with a skirt and blouse, one of the new uniforms purchased this year.

Sea , Since 1980 we have seen “video,’ 1TV, video cassette recorders, and able and pay television become ex- emely popular. We also saw video isks and video games fluctuate in opularity. The word video seems to be con- ected with everything. Some stores in lew York are even experimenting with video fashion,” using something like a lusic video to sell clothing. A pt eae rtist even set hundreds of televisions lat Were tuned to the same channel in eat rows as an example of video art. Teenage entertainment has changed Iso. “We used to go to Shakey’s and ratch the big screen TV, but now we 2nt some video tapes and go home and vatch them,” said a student. Jamie Osborn said, “It gives me ideo goes Hollywood Bis something to do instead of bumming around the house.” A person who works at a video rental center said, “It used to be only rich peo- ple who got them. But now I guess everyone is trying to be like the Joneses, trying to jump on the video band wagon.” Why are people staying at home in front of the TV instead of going out? “I think it’s because of the rising cost of go- ing to a movie with the admission and popcorn and stuff. Also there’s a bigger selection, about six movies (in the theaters) to about 100 video cassettes (for rent), said Dean Crane. The school year 1984-85 could easily be remembered as the year when enter- tainment was condensed into a small box called a television. Mark Arenz checks out “Friday the Thirteenth Part II” from a selection of hundreds of video cassettes. MTV, Music Television, available locall through Heritage Cablevision, is as popular with Memorial students as it is all over the country. er ae 23 ‘An Evening Sleighride’ was the theme chosen for this year’s Winter Dance December 16 in the EMHS cafeteria. The dance was attended by approximately 500 people, according to Mrs. Jane Lipp, faculty adviser of the National Honor Society which spon- sored the dance. “The dance raised $583, $100 of which we gave to the patron drive for the acl g said Mrs. Lipp. “We plan to have the rest of the money go toward one or two other projects, such as addi- tional art for the building or a Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. I feel that the dance was a great success. The decora- tions turned out super, and everyone 500 enjoy ‘Sleighride’ had a great time!” Couples spent the evening from 8 to 11 p.m. dancing to music by The Music Machine from Bands Unlimited, enjoy- ing the homemade refreshments, and complimenting their friends on how nice they looked all dressed up. Many got their pictures taken in the authentic sleigh which was donated by the John Wettergren family. A model of a horse was also used in the backdrop. Brian Young commented, “I thought that a lot of hard work was put into the decora- tions. They did a really good job of mak- ing the decorations correspond with the theme.” Good friends share a laugh as Kelly McFarlin, Tom Kershner, Angie West, and Gary Wolf gather on the dance floor. oying eac | ple id is not uncommon at dances. other’s company are Stephanie kes, Mike Stankovich, Darrin Abel, Annetta zier, Amy Garner, and Dave Kent.

Jan Frank and his date sample the punch and cookies baked by NHS members Anne Gassere and Elizabeth Werner. ‘Princess and the Pea’ The curtain opened and an in- trigued audience was delighted by performances of ‘“The Princess and the Pea” October 19 and 20. The story was based on the search for a true princess while the evil Witch Zorina and a mean man nam- ed Simon made this seemingly easy task a dangerous one. Clever plotting was always foiled by the placing of a tiny pea at the bottom of 20 mat- tresses by Queen Sasparilla. Two performances for all area third graders were given as well as the two for general audiences, which brought in almost 1,000 people at each performance. People of all ages enjoyed the timeless quality of the classic fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea.” In a nigh point of the play Prince Peter (Jeff Pawlak) finds a true princess (Ann Blackwood) as Kim McGary (a forest creature) listens. Kurt VerVelde, ear be: the part of the playful dog, gets into the characterization at a dress rehearsal.

The dismissal bell rings at 3:10 announcing that the weekend has arrived, and the next 64 hours belong to you. How are you going to spend your time? A lot of Char ers went “to the game” on Friday nights. Other popular choices include going to the movies, the mall, visiting friends, going cruising, or simply relaxing at home. Unfortunately, weekends for many students weren't all play. If you were a cast member of a play, belonged to a music organization, Speech Team, an athletic team or Pep Club, you probably spent many Saturdays hard at work at Memorial. “In some ways it’s bad because you lose some of your free time, but you get a little better from practicing,” com- mented Dwight Shulz who was on the track team. Sam Wu didn’t look forward to weekends because, ‘Unfortunately, I have to work on weekends.” jeans Thomas, on the other hand feels that working on the weekends is more con- venient because “You can get your homework done more than if you work on week nights.” Christy Collins looked forward to weekends because “On Sunday, I recuperate from the week by sleeping all day ...”’ What about cracking those books? ‘“ ... don’t start my homework until 10 on Sunday night,” said one sophomore. Sound familiar? Wendy Thiele and Judy Stephenson work on decorations at a Pep Club work session before the ’85 Sadie Hawkins dance. On a Saturday at a mall, Scott Sears sits with new friends while testing a couch “because it was there” in a furniture store. When browsing through a toy store, Terry Kern finds a plastic scooter that gives even big kids endless minutes of enjoyment. Kathy Lundquist and Lynn Harris decide which Ae to go down first during an evening of winter un. After a hard day of school, Bill Fales loads his gym bag full of books and assignments to work on over the weekend. Unlucky thirteen Memorial was proud to say that 1984- 85 was its 13th year. Since 13 is sup- posedly an unlucky number, there should be a story that tells about the things that make school miserable. Because of all the changes made to make room for the new students and teachers, there were a lot of comical and unlucky things that happened to a few people. As with other students, Rick Wolgamood had an unlucky thing hap- pen to him. He was playing basketball and hurt his back, joining others who ended the year in bandages, crutches, and casts from other sports. Some accidents occurred during some emergency activities. One student had an unlucky incident during a fire drill. Katrina Jones said, “I was walking down the steps and somehow lost my footing and fell down 10 stairs.” “It wasn’t too painful, but it sure was embarrassing.” Guidance Chairman Dr. David Flora said that this year was the most difficult year since the beginning of Memorial because of the new phone system and the new “In-House Phone Directory” that had the numbers for the different areas of the school community presented in a manner that often resulted in confusion rather than a desired call. If you're one of those forgetful types of students, absent-mindedness could lead to some very minor or major things. A student said, “I was late for school because I forgot to set my alarm and then in all the rush I forgot my lunch money and didn’t realize it until I was ready to pay for my meal.” Opening his locker, Brian Troeger is faced with an avalanche of books and can’t wait until locker clean-up day. Writing a term paper, Scott Rakestraw finally gives up, saying, “It doesn’t matter anymore.” Feeling frustrated, Karen Trimmer starts for the third time to complete a business form in Keyboarding 3. To some, practical jokes are funny, but when you're on the other end, like Mark Arenz, it’s a different story. Wendy Duff, Tina Keller, Lisa Holland, and Kin- dra Talbott demonstrate the different lengths of this year’s cropped jeans and pants. Shorter hair lengths encouraged the add ition of more prominent accessories such as the earrings worn by Kelly Asher. European influence was evident with the return of the traditional bobbed hair and variations of it such as Stephanie Blake’s wavy bob. 32 Flats, flannels, and Forenzas The ’84-85 school year started off ght with students showing off their mer tans wearing clothes and ac- ssories in flourescent colors of every le. Shocking pinks, yellows, blues and eens worn alone or together minated the more traditional colors of (1. As the year progressed, the bright nd faded. eans made a new turn-around com- 2 out in black and other faded colors i well as the usual denim blue. Worn }ppped or ankle length, designers used 1 derent ideas, combining unusual pat- ! ns, prints, and pockets to create dif- rent styles worn by many guys as well i girls. As spring came, jeans took on Wstel colors such as white, baby blue, ink, and light yellow. Hit was a big year for the Italian label }jrenza, which made its mark with the jrsatile “shaker” sweaters. Made in i ; } af J F ry every color with a crew neck or a deep V-neck, the sweater could be worn casually or dressed up. Flannel shirts were also very popular during the col- der season, going along with the laid back appearance that many students favored. The appearance of singer Madonna was a big influence in the wardrobes of some Memorial girls, blending the looks of black lexthenaacs and pearls. Bigger and bolder earrings were another of the star’s trademarks that became popular. Perhaps Madonna’s most imitated trait was her wavy hair styled with mousse and often accompanied with a bandan- na or lace. With the introduction of gels and mousses, hair took on some new twists. Tails worn straight or braided and hair dyed more than one color were two styles shared by both girls and guys. Girls wore their hair a little shorter with the most popular style being the curly and tousled “bob.” eens to the bottom of things, shoes also looked different this year. Flats were the most common styles seen this year, but athletic high tops were also seen in many colors such as purple and pink. Boots ranged from the short, cuff- ed styles to the ever-popular hiking fae worn by many guys and a few girls. Many popular styles were inspired by movies, rock stars, and European fashions, but the individual always shone through. At a school where students came to boys’ basketball sec- tionals dressed in trash bags and chemistry goggles, fashions this year always had an air of the unexpected. Linda Sigler, Dawn Kraft and Christy Helgeson took advantage of all the different looks that could be created with “shaker” sweaters. Depending on the wearer’s taste, skirt hemlines went anywhere from mini to near ankle length, which Lisa Watts preferred with flats. Fitness craze includes diets, exercise As the health craze swept through the United States, many Memorial students were caught up in it. A portion of the hard-earned money students ac- cumulated went to exercise and or health magazines. Well-known ac- tresses such as Jane Fonda and Victoria Principal came out with their own beau- ty and exercise books and workout videotapes. The new fitness fad ap- eared to attract more girls than guys, at east when it came to buying the extras to inspire sticking to a diet or workout program. Fast food restaurants picked up on the health food idea and equipped themselves with salad bars, and new varieties of baked potatoes ran a close popularity contest with the traditional Aieateariean favorite, french fries. Of course, diet pop was still around, but health-conscious buyers had more brands to choose from. For example, the pop-drinker could get diet cola, caffeine-free cola, diet-caffeine-free cola, and also sodium-free cola. NutraSweet, advertised in many low calorie products, was popular because of its being the first low calorie sweetener without saccharine, a chemical believed by many to cause cancer. As different forms of exercise became popular, some people tried anything just to lose those few extra pounds or to get in shape. Downtown joggers were a common sight. Aerobic centers came in- to sight as well as the many classes of- fered at the YM-YWCA. Weight train- ing, a form of fitness traditionally per- formed by guys, became more common wy females as well. It was a year to be it. A new attraction to the cafeteria this year was the fast food line, where students not interested in the plate lunch could find nourishment in Hostess products and cookies. Helping himself to the healthy offerings of a salad bar, Scott Rakestraw finds a meal that is satisfying, but not fattening. Second semester rhythm and dance class members warm up their muscles with Richard Faucher, an artist-in-education. The high use of sodium in the American diet is the blame for many illnesses, but this student can’t seem to curb his taste for it. i i : t ; i ; i This year marked a breakthrough in artificial sweeteners as NutraSweet became a substitute for saccharin as well as sugar. Lunchtime Features “What do I do for lunch today?” was a uestion many students asked themselves during or immediately after third hour. “Do I go out or do I stay at school?” Some possibilities were staying in the cafeteria, hanging out in the library or student center, going down to play basketball in the gym, or doing some work in the computer room. Vice Principal Mr. Clyde Riley said that having open lunches did not really affect the freshman class because most of them stayed in the cafeteria and ate lunch there. Mr. Riley also said, ‘““Hav- ing open lunches takes self discipline and responsibility on the part of the ones that go out to lunch.” He said that the biggest problem continued to be truancy and tardiness during fourth hour. If you drove, then you could take Juniors Jennie Thomas and Jeannine Windbigler decide to get away from school and go out for unch. Spending time in the cafeteria is something that eis) than one-half of Memorial students do at unch. some of your friends out to lunch at your favorite restaurant or you could go out by yourself. Junior Mike Holt said, “Sometimes I drove to school, so I go out to eat, mostly to Hardees, with some friends, but on the days that I didn’t drive I stayed here at school either playing basketball in the gym or strolling around the halls with my friends.” Kim Coddington, junior, was typical of both teachers and students as she said, “It gives the kids a chance to get a break from school for 55 minutes, I feel that we really need a break like that.” Kim also said, “I’m really glad that they decided to give us open lunches after the big controversy that was being brought up last summer because I go out to lunch everyday. But it really does take a lot of responsibility.” People like David Mark and some friends decid- ed to get caught up on some homework in the student center. a you have nothing better to do, then you could clean out your locker like junior Mark Mills decides to do. ‘here are many percent things to do at lunch, jut these seniors decide to spend their time in he library. Status: Pressure to conform What is a status symbol? It is “The grass is always greener on the something that can control a person’s_ other side of the fence,” and how true entire life. Young or old, we all feel the _ that still seems to be. pressure placed upon ourselves to be just like everyone else. Nowhere is this more evident than in the high school ; : teenager. Many people who enjoy “breakin” feel that it is a e status symbol to be good at it. Kim Jackson Douglas Brown says, People are demonstrates a basic breaker move. always comparing themselves to others and overlooking the qualities that make them the fantastic person that they are.” For example, fast, fancy cars, the best clothes, the prettiest girl, the most athletic boy name a few status symbols that many try to achieve. In fact, much of a teenager’s life is spent trying to im- ress his friends, whether it’s counting ow many concerts they attend, making the honor roll or having a date every weekend.

While we at Elkhart Memorial were making news, others around the world were too. Geraldine Ferraro became the first women to win a vice-presidential nomination as she and presidential can- didate Walter Mondale tried to put the Democratic Party back into the White House. The nation had a chance to become heavily involved in politics as the National Organization for Women (NOW) sponsored three presidential debates on subjects like abortion, religion, age, and nuclear war, all of which were big campaign issues. African nations were in the news as South African Bishop Desmond Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize, enhancing the cry to end apartheid in South Africa. College students from all over the country demonstrated against apar- theid, urging their administrators to divest all holdings in corporations that do business in South Africa. Relief flooded in from all over the world to the over 50 million people suffering from starvation in Central and Northern Africa. This past year saw lawsuits against TIME magazine and CBS by General Westmoreland, a former U.S. officer, and Ariel Sharon, Israel’s Defense Minister. National campaigns got underway to restore the Statue of Liber- ty, while many organizations across the Election With the usual tensions between | parties, mildly barbed quotes, and televised debates, plus the first female vice presidential candidate for a major party in U.S. history, and one of the biggest landslide victories of any U.S. Presidential election, the 1984 election was surely not just run-of-the-mill. : ee The Republican ticket, Ronald Reagan and George Bush, carried 49 states, defeating by a large margin the Democrat ticket of Walter Mon- dale, and sending Reagan back into office fora second term. — The major issues debated in the country, including MHS’s Student Government, sponsored functions to “save the lady.” U.S. farmers protested President Reagan’s plans to cut farm aid and declared themselves near bankruptcy. In late November we saw Baby Fae, an infant with a defective heart, undergo transplant surgery to receive a baboon’s heart while William Schrader, a Hoosier, had an artificial heart im- plant. Although the operation caused complications to Schrader’s health, it was considered successful. Indira Gandhi, India’s prime muinister for nearly two decades, was hit by an assassin’s bullet and was succeeded by her son Rajiv Gandhi. The Soviet Union also saw a change in leadership, the fourth in 28 months. Mikhail Gor- bachev, the youngest top-ranking of- ficial in the Kremlin, became the new leader of the U.S.S.R. In Bhopal, India, a Union Carbide chemical plant leaked toxic gases kill- ing over 2,000 people and leaving others homeless.

Around 6:45 a.m., a train tanker at Conrail containing a potentially fatal gas, hydrogen flouride, was discovered to have a split in a welded seam. The leak caused the Elkhart Area Career Center to close and the evacua- tion of Hawthorne and Mary Daly elementary schools, West Side Middle School, the Americana Nursing Home and several businesses. Hawthorne students were sent to Central High School, West Side Middle School students went to the North Side Gym- nasium, and the Mary Daly students were sent to Memorial. Memorial’s principal, Miss Carolyn Cook, announced during third hour that there would be a closed lunch hour because of the danger of the leaking gas. She also said that students were not allowed to leave the building unless a parent came to the main office to pick them up. Teachers were posted at the doors to make sure no one left the school, an act that caused some students to say that Memorial felt like a prison that day. Memorial students and _ teachers weren't the only ones feeling closed in. Mary Daly pupils were placed in the auditorium for nearly four hours. Enter- tainment was provided by the Jazz Band, directed by Mr. Wayne Stubbs, and Mr. Jim Hales provided films and movies from the audio. visual department. The city, county, and state police joined the South Bend Fire Depart- ment’s Hazardous Materials Team to control the leak so the all-clear sign could be given at 2 p.m. “I am very pleased with the way the majority of EMHS student reacted to the temporary rules that had to be set because of the leak,” said Miss Cook after the danger had passed. The scene at Memorial during the near-disaster was described by The Elkhart Truth as “orderly confusion.” The national news, meanwhile, found very few of those who “fled for their lives” in agreement with the exag- gerated gravity of the matter. 42 The 1984-85 year in sports saw many things happen. We saw the hockey, football, and basketball and baseball seasons bring forth both dominating teams and surprising ones while the U.S. dominated the Los Angeles Olympics. Baseball The California St. Fullerton Titans captured the college title while the Detroit Tigers led their division from start to finish in capturing the American League West championship, and defeating East champ Kansas City to earn a birth to the World Series. All through the year the Chicago Cubs had Wrigley Field rocking as they captured their first pennant since the early 1960's, but they couldn’t hold off the San Diego Padres who went on the World Series only to lose to Detroit four games to one. The season also saw many new stars come to the force, especially National League MVP Ryne Sandberg of the Cubs and Rookie of the Year pitching sensation Dwight Gooden. As the 1985 season began all eyes were fixed on Pete Rose who was only 95 hits away from breaking Ty Cobb’s all-time hitting record. Football The San Francisco 49’ers compiled the best record ever in National Foot- ball League (NFL) history by winning the Super Bowl over the Miami Dolphins and finishing with a 18-1 record. Walter Payton became the NFL’s all time leading rusher while Eric Dickerson broke O. J. Simpson’s single season rushing record. There was much dispute over their schedule, but, after all the talk, the Brigham Young Cougars captured the college football championship after defeating Michigan in the Holiday Bowl and finishing with the only undefeated record of 12-0. Boston Col- lege superstar Doug Flutie won the Heisman Trophy and chose the USFL and a seven million dollar contract over the NFL. Boxing Sugar Ray Leonard returned to the ring after two years absence, was knocked down but still managed a win over tough Kevin Howard. After the fight, Leonard retired again. Larry Holmes still wreaked havoc in the heavyweight division, but all attention focused on the match which took place on April 15. It was billed as “the greatest fight of all times.” Undisputed middleweight champ Marvelous Mar- vin Hagler crushed former weight champ Thomas ‘The Hit Man” Hearns with a third round TKO. Basketball In one of the greatest upsets in the history of college the Villanova Wildcats, led by “Steady” Ed Pickney, defeated Patrick Ewing and_ the Georgetown Hoyas 66-64 to capture the National Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion national championship. The Hoyas were being billed as one of greatest teams in history but were only one of a number of Villanova victims which in- cluded Michigan, Dayton, Maryland, North Carolina, and Memphis State. The pro game saw the Boston Celtics ' dominate the regular season as they entered the playoffs seeking their se- cond straight N.B.A. title. Larry Bird was his usual self enroute to Most Valuable Player honors while Chicago Bull rookie Michael Jordan filled arenas everywhere due to his outstanding play and talent for exciting the crowd. Hockey After being embarrassed in 1983 by the New York Islanders in the Stanley Cup finals, the Edmonton Oilers came Out with a vengeance in 1984 destroying every team in hockey enroute to the best record in hockey history and winn- ing the Stanley Cup finals four games to one over the Islanders. As the playoffs approached in ’85, Wayne “The Great One” Gretsky, and Mark Messia and company were heavy favorites to repeat as NHL champions. Sports Olympics | The 1984 summer games wer dominated by American athletes a) many became sports greats in ou) country. First was Carl Lewis wh tied Jesse Owens’ mark of winnin| four gold medals in track and fiele There was Valerie Brisco-Hook( who, also in track and field, wo) three gold medals, tying Wilm) Rudolph’s mark set in 1960.

New discipline policy enacted | Students often spend Saturday morn- hgs sleeping, watching television, or st relaxing. One thing students don’t aink about is going to school, but with ae new Saturday Extension Program nat took effect during the second iJemester, some students spent three nore hours in school. ) The SE Program was from 8:30 to 1:30 every Saturday morning. | According to Mr. Ben Karasiak, ssistant principal, students who were jot in the building by 8:30 were not llowed inside. During “Quiet Time,” eople brought their own materials to tudy, and no eating was allowed. Some of the reasons for assignment the SE Program were a certain umber of offenses, absences, or tar- dies, and frequent referrals to the office. If someone had six tardies, he was assigned to one Saturday, seven tardies equalled two Saturdays, and eight earn- ed a three-Saturday assignment. If a stu- dent was caught smoking, he was assigned to one Saturday as an alter- Native to suspension from school. If caught smoking again, he was assigned to three Saturdays. When asked how the program had been going, Mr. Karasiak stated, “It went very well. The students behaved, and responded to the situation.” One advantage to the SE Program was that it kept the students in a learn- ing environment. Other advantages listed were that it was holding down the number of absences, it kept suspensions off a person’s record, and it promoted the constructive use of time, Mr. Karasiak said. “Students had to bring work to do. The teacher in charge, Mr. Dale Rems, would not give assignments,’ Mr. Karasiak, said as he explained how the program worked. In spring the SE Program seemed to be working, so maybe some students would not lose credit because of atten- dance problems, and possibly the number of suspensions would decrease, a couple of goals for the SE Program, according to Mr. Karasiak. Island Park was partially submerged in ear- ly spring due to rapid melting of heavy snow accompanied by heavy rainfall.

High temperatures in the Elkhart area proke two records during late December. The Elkhart Truth described the 65-degree day as the ‘warmest December 28 of this century.” On the ‘9th, 63 degrees broke a 1932 record. ) Only a trace of snow had fallen on pista Day, but most of Indiana and Michigan was covered with up to three jeet of snow a little more than a month : later. The excessive amount of snow caus- ed the cancellation of Air Wisconsin flights in and out of the Elkhart Municipal Airport. High winds reaching up to 50 miles per hour caused the north-south roads to drift shut, the Toll Road to be only one lane in places, mail services to slow to a point of almost nonexistence, an unplanned five-day vacation for businesses and schools, and ski resorts such as Swiss Valley to close because an overabun- dance of snow. A rapid snow melt plus the two and a half inches of rain that fell during February 23 and 24 caused the Elkhart River to reach a crest at 11.88 feet—less then a foot below the record of 12.05 feet set in 1982. Residents along the Elkhart River were hit the hardest. Forty-eight roads were closed or flooded. The Elkhart Central High School parking lot and Rice Field were under water. School re- mained in session, but students had to park on higher ground. Island Park was three quarters under water causing the water to reach the base of the Conn bandstand. Movies bring variety Throughout the school year the films thought by critics to be outstanding were usually passed up by Memorial students for the box office record breakers such as “Ghostbusters” and “Beverly Hills Cop.” Taking the Oscar for best film was “Amadeus,” whose plot revolves around the fictitious, but believable, rivalry between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the Italian composer Salieri. “Purple Rain” was not only a box of- fice success, but probably produced the most hit singles of recent times. The movie was semi-autobiographical and featured the eccentric Prince and Ap- polonia Kataro. Prince and the Revolu- tion, Morris Day and The Time, together had 12 songs that made the pop charts. A film that was billed as an adoles- cent “The Big Chill” became very popular with teenagers and adults. “The Breakfast Club” was set around a group of five totally individual high school students who found themselves sharing not only Saturday detention, but life’s problems as well. With all the serious films produced this year, such as ‘Places in the Heart,” “The Killing Fields,” and a “A Passage to India’ (all Academy Award nominees), a change of pace was found with a number of lighter films. “Ghostbusters” with Bill Murray, “In- diana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” a sequel to “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and ‘“Witness,’ both with Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg’s “Gremlins,” “Revenge of the Nerds,” “Karate Kid,” “The Terminator,” starring Arnold Schwarzenager, and “Beverly Hills Cop” with superstar Eddie Murphy each brought box office success. How do you view the dress regulations at EMHS? “I understand the need for dress regulations, but I think they should be better expressed. Students should be able to know what length skirts are considered ‘acceptable’ and which are not.” —Kelly McFarlin “The dress code makes it difficult to be unique. It seems ironic that Cen- tral has a freer dress code because they tend to dress more conservative- ly, while MHS students would take advantage (of a more lax dress code) to express their personalities.” —Lucy Martin Pop stars share¢ Considered by some to be the roc} music phenomenon of the year, Princl became a major force in pop musi} with his best-selling album and movie) “Purple Rain,” a Grammy, and a suc} cessful tour.

This law follows a re- ‘Fent'state law requiring all children under Jour years to ride in child-restraint seats. Michigan and Illinois already have similar Jaws, giving Hoosier drivers who frequent- Jy drive in those states practice in wearing eat belts. The national organization of the Na- ‘ional Honor Society put an emphasis mm scholarship this year, and this led to hanges at Memorial. The standard for being selected into NHS was raised from a 3.0 grade point lverage to 3.25 for 1985’s inductees. Members must now maintain a 3.0 yrade point average during their )nembership in NHS. Members who fall } elow that will be placed on a four and i half week probationary period. If the ‘student still hasn’t raised his grades, Nifter that time, he will be excluded tom all NHS activities. If, after another our and a half weeks, the student still }aasn’t brought up his grades he will be emoved from NHS, according to Yaculty sponsor Mrs. Jane Lipp. alent, money, fashions with the world Duran Duran, including the hit video and single “Wild Boys’; Private Dancer by Tina Turner, which marked a suc- cessful comeback for her; Heartbeat Ci- ty by the Cars, including five hit singles and MTV's video of the year “You Might Think”; Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” which gathered a sold-out national tour; The Honeydrip- pers Vol. 1 by The Honeydrippers, featuring ex-lead singer of Led Zeppelin Robert Plant; and Run DMC’s “The King of Rock,” the first rap album to go platinum. WHS raises standards “It is not a pleasant task to drop members, but I feel the system is fair, and the kids are given enough time. I meet with members to discuss their studies on each probationary period. I think that NHS needs to be taken seriously,” Mrs. Lipp told a reporter. Six persons were dropped from the 1984-85 group and others were on probation during the year. Instead of just doing a group pro- ject, as in past years, members must now also do an individual service pro- ject. Laura Gawlik, treasurer, said that she thought individual projects ‘helpful in getting all members involved.” “They give individual members more of a sense of accomplishment, as if they belong,” she explained. Chargers gain recognition Students received awards at Memorial this year in areas ranging from photography to gymnastics, and two EMHS teachers were given awards for their talents. Kurt Harrison and George Cor- nish were among the top 10 finalists in the “Photograph Elkhart” contest. Mayor James Perron represented them with a ‘Key to the City” as a reward. Stephanie Teal and Kristen Cain placed in the top 10 of their divisions in the women’s math contest at St. Mary’s on March 30. On the same day—the first day of spring vacation—Speech Team members Rob Pietsch and Chuck Hayes participated in the state speech contest in Indianapolis. Pietsch plac- ed 8th in boys extemporaneous speaking and Hayes was 9th in humorous interpretation. Senior Mike O’Brien was selected to the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association Academic All-State First Team. To qualify, O’Brien had to be in the upper quarter of his class, score 900 or more on the SAT’s, and start in at least 90 percent of the games prior to being nominated. Honorable mention went to senior Jan Frank. O’Brien and Frank were the only players from Elkhart County to be honored. Stephanie Reich placed first on the balance beam during state gym- nastics competition for the second year in a row. Her coach, Mrs. Roberta Litherland, was named gym- nastics coach of the year for Indiana. Mr. Richard Lutey, a physics teacher, was named the 1985 Outstanding Physics Teacher of the Year for the Indiana Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers. SS Sadies best in years Pep Club members and other students helped to make this year’s Sadie Hawkins dance, “Dogpatch U.S.A.,” “the best Sadies in the last three years,” according to Pep Club president Jenny Hershberger. This year’s music was provided by ZIP 104’s “Music Machine.” A large screen displayed music videos and showed scenes from last year’s Sadie Hawkins. The Music Machine taped scenes from the “Sadies,” including Jeff Pawlak leading the dance “the duck.” Lucy Martin, sniffing up a story for Monolith, stops after school in the cafeteria to admire the Pep Club decorations for the Sadie Hawkins dance. Tables were decorated with vases with silk flower hearts. The tape will be played at this year’s prom and also at the senior class’ 10- year reunion. While some people danced, others sat at tables decorated with vases and heart flowers along with bowls of peanuts and popcorn. The more romantic at heart visited one of the two Marryin’ Sams to get “hitched.” They received wedding rings and a silk flower. After the ceremony they were given a piece of wedding cake.

Science Department: Offering choices for everyone “To offer a course for everyone, regardless of ability, is an important goal for the science department,” said Mr. Peter McCasland, science department chairman. “I feel that there should be choices for everyone, including the student who isn’t in- terested in taking physics and chemistry.” With five semesters of biology, three semesters of physics, three semesters of chemistry (possibly for college credit), a basic science class, aerospace and geology class all of- fered at MHS, ere was obviously a full range of choices. Once enrolled in a science co urse, most students found that the teachers used creative methods to teach con- cepts. Breeding different strains of fruit flies in Mrs. Eloise Adams’ class made genetics just a little easier to understand, while Mr. Richard Lutey’s bicycle wheel helped — students understand the angular and | tangential motion of a circle. The — Cooper Outdoor Science Lab added a — lot to learning in Life Science 1,2 — classes as it offered a chance to see — textbook statements come to life. “We have outstanding facilities — and a broad curriculum, but our — faculty definitely overshadows — everything else. A vast majority of the teachers in the science department have master’s degrees, but, more im- — portantly, they are all enthusiastic | and interested in teaching,” said Mr. — McCasland. a “Physics is hard for me sometimes © because I’m not a great math student, — but Mr. Lutey can always explain the concepts to me so that I feel I have — learned something,’ said Pau Papadopoulos. 15 Every department at Memorial found jhew ways of teaching students, whether ‘it was offering higher level courses for more advanced students or doing labs or }special projects to enable students to fook at concepts from a different angle. ve iu College credits | Students had several options to con- {sider when choosing courses to prepare hem for college. Two of these choices were the availability of classes for In- | i | diana University credit and Advanced Placement courses. Classes that were offered for IU credit were calculus, chemistry, advanc- ed art, and composition. A.P. courses in- cluded advanced art, art history, literature and composition, and history. Those enrolled in an A.P. course had the option of taking an A.P. exam, which eeatd enable them to test out of some freshman level college courses and, in some Cases, obtain credit. “My A.P. lit and comp class is definitely much more demanding and o Brandon Despain and Kurt VerVelde make a ake scar on Kurt’s arm for Introduction to Theatre class.

The participating authors were Richard Peck, Crystal Thrasher, and Robert Cormier. “It was interesting to learn that Mr. Peck finds it easier to write from a female’s point of view then from a male’s,” said David Solow. Home ec. Home economics department classes featured several special activities and projects designed to teach the basics in new and exciting ways. Family living classes were involved in a_ marriage unit, which was presented with the help of several area merchants including bridal consultants, a diamond expert, a cake decorator, and a florist who spoke on their particular subjects of expertise. The advanced foods classes con- ducted a cross-age cooking class in| which they taught elementary age students how to make cookies. Mrs. Helen Watts, home economics’ department chairperson, said, “I think it) was a good experience for everyone. because the younger students had good role models in the older students and the high school kids always enjoy work- ing with the younger ones.” Vicki Claassen finds that an advanced math class like College Calculus often requires getting extra help from the teacher, Mr. Stanley Teal.

Many math students had required computer assignments. ——— Computers invade EMHS Memorial offered many different kinds of computer classes. Computer Math focuses on the programming aspect of computers. Computer Keyboarding teaches students to use computers to type reports, letters, and other business related papers. Com- puters are also used in the main office, publications room, and the guidance office. Some classes such as math and ac- counting use the computers for class assignments. According to Mrs. Mary Harreld, one of Memorial’s guidance counselors, these assignments will be helpful to college bound students. “Colleges ae you assignments to be done on the computer and the ex- perience that you get here will help you,” she said. Mike Vargo, a computer math stu- dent said, “The future will depend on computers and any field you go into will require some sort of computer knowledge.” Although many students were aware of the importance of computer literacy, only about 100 students were enrolled in programming classes, according to Mr. Dennis Wolf, a computer math teacher. Many students who were enrolled in the classes feel that they will have a definite advantage over other students in college. Bob Banker agreed: “I can test out of the beginning classes in col- lege and be ahead of most students. bees New rules bring change In hopes of upping the quality of Hoosier education, the Indiana State Board of Education revised many of the guidelines within the curriculum and graduation (C G) rules. The pac uation rules concern the incoming reshmen in 1985-86; however, the cur- riculum rules went into effect this year and the differences didn’t go unnoticed. The main change in the graduation rules was raising the number of re- quired credits from 32 to 38. According to Dr. Robert Franklin, assistant Bee ntendent of Elkhart Community Schools, most of the affected students shouldn’t find difficulty in earning enough credits as most of Elkhart’s present students accumulate an average of 41 credits during their high school years. An extra year of English, math, and science il he necessary to graduate as well as a mandatory com- puter class. Many of Memorial’s traditions were ended this year by the new curriculum rules. One of these rules was to make sure that students were in class “doing what they were supposed to be doing.” Unfortunately, that meant no more pep rallies, Kiwanis Club Athletes of the Month luncheons, Student Government and other activities that used to take place during school hours. Seniors were upset to find that the state also required them to attend a full 175 days instead of the almost two weeks of early vacation after their as Another change that af- ected the senior class is the required seven semesters. Because of this rule, early releases were granted only to seniors during their second semester. A full day now consists of 360 minutes of instructional time. To ac- commodate this requirement, the lunch hour was shortened five minutes, and the school day started five minutes earlier and ended 15 minutes later than in previous years. Whether or not these changes in the C Grules will improve education re- mains to be seen; however, the price was paid by all Chargers this year.

Academic pressure affects us all For students who were trying to keep their grades high so they could be ac- sere by a “good” college, and for those students who just wanted to get through high school with grades that would satisfy an employer, report cards were a quarterly reminder that school was a serious, even scary, business. Todd Trindle said, ‘My parents would kill me if I got bad grades. Bad grades would also hurt me when it comes to college acceptance time.” “From the standpoint of college ad- missions, grades ara the difficulty of the courses taken are more influential than SAT scores alone. On the subject of employment, employers rarely check student records. When they do, they usually check to see if you graduated and how you did in the courses related to that job,” said guidance chairman Dr. David Flora. Parents can sometimes put a lot of pressure on kids to do welll rade wise. That pressure coupled with bad grades could result in punishment such as grounding, taking away the use of the car, or possibly withdrawal from extra- curricular activities. This is one of the reasons students often gave for the locker areas at lun- chtime being filled with students reading, studying, and cramming. “T have six chapters of ‘Great Expec- tations’ to read for next hour,” said a serious lunchtime studier. On the other hand, some parents felt they didn’t have to put tremendous pressure on their kids to perform well in school. Parent and teacher Mr. James Mayes said, “It depends on the student. Some students need parental pressure to do well, and some don’t. I never once had to put pressure on my kids to perform ell academically.” Juggling grades, homework, and poasihl a job can make academic suc- cess difficult for some students. Anne Gassere said, “It may sound simple, but I sometimes have problems deciding what’s most important—music, homework, or sleep!” Social studies teacher Mr. David Foutz said, “More competition in the job market has given students incentive to perform academically and has made them realize, more than ever, the impor- tance of grades.” Lori Steury is looking through the eriodigd| guides in the library doing research for her socia studies class. to study, Lauri Shultz studies past assignmen' Taking advantage of the library as a quite placy for a test.

Colleges and univer- sities consider these scores for admis- sion and scholarship eligibility. The SAT is a three-hour test similar to | the aptitude tests that students take all through school. The major difference is that ae SAT costs $11 to take. There are six testing dates each year, and students i take the SAT as many times as they ike. “Tt is hard to classify them (the SAT’s) as ‘easy’ or ‘difficult,’’’ said one senior who took the test twice. “One question could be very simple and the next total- | ly confusing.” According to Dr. David 5, want extra time to do homework and study | : tests during school. )mpetition can be a big source of academic jessure. Chris Holland and David Simonaitis | Flora, guidance chairman, students tend to do better on the mathematical section, but he stressed that success really depends on the individual. “Cram” courses and books are used oy some students to prepare, but Dr. Flora strongly opposes these methods. He stated, “You (the student) have been preparing for the SAT all your life by the books you have read and the courses you have taken.” Barron’s “Basic Tips on the SAT” also discourages “cramming” saying that even a few weeks before the test is too late to start preparing. “T bought a ‘how to’ book and looked through it, but I didn’t actually study for the test,” said senior Aleta Anderson. One very good way to prepare for the SAT is to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) as a junior. The PSAT is a two-hour con- densed version of the SAT, with one verbal and one mathematical section, that costs $5 to take. “T’m really glad I took the PSAT in my junior year because it gave me a better idea of what to expect of the SAT. I wish I had taken it in my sophomore year, too,” said Kelly McFarlin.

Teachers bring humor to class “Some students find social studies boring, but I find that using humor keeps them interested and they ac- tually have fun,” said Mr. George Riebs. “Although some students fall asleep in classes, it’s hard to sleep during Mr. Riebs’ class because he likes doing strange things like using different accents,” said Diana Bechtold. Mr. John Stinespring, social studies department chairman, uses humor in his classes because he feels it helps the students learn. Tammy Svircov- ee agreed as she said, “He makes the subjects more interesting and easier to understand.” . Another teacher who often used humor was Mr. Donald Litherland, orchestra, wind ensemble, and con- cert band director. “When Mr. Litherland didn’t think we were playing Stravinsky’s ‘Berceuse and Finale’ with tremen- dous enthusiasm, he reminded us that the piece was about the birth of a firebird, not of a chicken,” said one string player. _ “He often joked about the first violin section’s unique clothing styles and banned fluorescents in the first two rows,” said Anne Gassere. The teachers who used humor in their classes often succeeded in doing more than keeping students’ atten- tion. They made their classes an en- joyable place to learn for many students.

Social studies teacher Mr. Dave Foutz, for instance, used tales of jogging expeditions and interesting guest speakers to make going to his class seem a little easier. One such guest speaker was the Sheik of Dopec. To help explain the economic principles of supply and demand to his freshman social studies class, Mr. Foutz left the room claiming to be getting a guest speaker, and return- ed wearing a turban and mirrored sunglasses as Sheik Foutz of the donut gene poleed country Dopec! “T think that if you realize that some- day your education will help you,” said Foutz, “you can take a different ap- proach on your views toward school. While education is a serious business, it doesn’t have to be morbid. I think that classes can be fun and interesting as well as instructional, if the environment is acceptable.” The Sheik of Dopec explains the economic hea of his country to freshman social studies classes. Mr. Dave Foutz brought in the guest- speaking sheik to give the students a better understanding of a monopoly. rem ee ‘Okay, I'll take that’ For EMHS students, decisions about curriculum could be based on a variety of criteria. Reasons for choosing courses included classes taken by friends, the reputation of the teachers and courses, so called “easy A” classes, ones for sleeping, college prep and post graduate training, classes that organize special in- terest groups such as_ publications, music, and DECA, and courses that pro- mised to be challenging and interesting. “IT chose my classes because I knew that they would challenge me and at the same time prepare me for studies on the college level,” commented Pat Hall. Ke py Huneryager said, “When it came down to choosing one more class, I pointed to the list and told my counselor, ‘Okay, I'll take that.’ ”’ Some courses were overlooked by those who would benefit from them because many students don’t consider taking classes that deviate from their major interests. Mrs. Marilyn Mc- Casland, business education teacher, said she wished more students would discover how helpful shorthand is for a wide range of careers. Aside form its necessity for clerical occupations, Mrs. McCasland believes, “Shorthand is a valuable skill especially for college bound students to make lecture notes quicker and more accurate.” She went on to say, ‘‘A person skilled at shorthand has the training to listen well and is adept at language arts skills, combined with other disciplines such as chemistry, journalism, foreign languages, or ac- counting, he is aa cevable in many and (continued on page 67) Reverend Carlos Treadway, who was an American guard during the Nuremberg trials, shows a U.S. History class old photos and clippings.

In some courses, students are eligible to take license examinations and are then prepared for immediate employment. Kim Forester, who took the medical secretarial training course, said, “I learned how to type medical reports, in- surance claim forms, and became familiar with medical terms and how to Dave Thomas, Todd Schiltz, and Scott Mackeben tend to their leafy friends as part of a Life Science 4 project.

Approximately 50 per- cent of EMHS students go directly from high school into employment while another 35 percent go on to some kind of additional schooling or training. According to Mr. Robert Mayotte, idance counselor, “EMHS provides or the needs of all students by offerin classes for a wide range of interests ond skill levels. Our students have many choices to meet their needs and expecta- tions for their life goals.” Classes help prepare for future To learn trades and skills helpful for the future, more than 600 students enrolled in semester courses that were as varied as accounting, child guidance, business law, foods, printing, and home mechanics. “Students take a business class because it is a skill that will give them a foot in the door to get a job,” said Mrs. Sara Wood, business education depart- ment chairperson. Students had many other reasons for taking business classes. For example, accounting classes were helpful in lear- ning to prepare taxes and manage budgets. After students from foods class watch- ed a meatcutter cut up a pork carcass, they prepared and served it to about 20 parents during a foods program observ- ing Black History Month.

What sport do you most en- joy watching? baseball basketball football tennis volleyball Victorious on the road This year’s football season began much the same as last year’s. In July, however, the coaching staff decided to have pre-season practices before the full-dress practices began. These two- hour practices consisted of running, learning the basic positions on the line, and going through the drills that we Rous use later. The coaches felt this would save time, and since we had only two weeks once the season started, we obviously needed all the time we could get. There were quite a few people who speculated that Memorial’s football team would probably not amount to much, since we returned only eight starters and only one of those was a lineman. But when the coaches had chosen the final 11, we knew that this would be a team to be reckoned with. Our offensive line boasted an average weight of over 200 pounds, plus we had speed in the backfield. After last year’s successful season we knew that we would have to prove ourselves, and Scott Mills (67) tackles David Schnell (11), Cen- tral’s nationally recognized quarterback, a se- cond too late in the game against Central. because our first four games of the season were not at home, it was going to take some work. We won those first four road games, and, going into our home opener, we were ranked ninth in the state in class AAAA. However, we lost our home opener in a tough-fought battle with defending state champs Penn. We also lost our next three games, including a tight game with city rival Central, in whieh we scored a touchdown but lost 13-7. We had one more road game, and decided to get things back on the right track. We did this by beating South Bend Riley 14-0. Our season closed with a loss to St. Joe, 14-7. Strangely enough, we had won every road game, but lost every home game, to give us a 5-5 record for the season. Still, I think the coaches and players alike felt that we’d had a good season and that we had accomplished a lot. —Scott McMeekan FRONT ROW: Tom Provost, Nate Roll, Aricek Mason, Joey Shupert, Brad Durden, Brian Green, Steve Martin.

Therefore, we didn’t have much of a chance to have our own practice sessions. The season started out with a win over Adams, and after that first game, the season came more easily to the players. Unfortunately, toward the end of the season, team members got too comfortable with our record and failed to win our last games. At the beginning of the season, the team was all fired up, but with a tough loss to Penn, our spirits began to fall. We then lost to Elston and tied with Washington, which set us up for the big showdown with Central. I could see that practice was more lively the week of the Central game. Even though we were charged up for the game, we fell short of Central in a hard-fought battle. The reason for our losing season was not that we didn’t have talent. It was because we made a lot of mental errors. If we had had our heads on before each game, there is no doubt in my mind that we could have been undefeated. All in all, even though we lost more than we won (our record was 4-4-1), the season was a fun one. —Wade Robinson Halfback Wade Robinson (36) tries to make a touchdown while his Memorial teammates block Central players.

We chase an inflated pigskin around a 100-yard field and kill each other over it. I don’t know why we played, but I know we did, and ended with a 5-0-1 conference record (6-1-1 overall), a good record to start Memorial’s freshman football history. We obtained this record by doing one thing: playing hard. The amount of time on the field practicing (during August) exceeded all other events in our lives, except sleep. We ended up averaging about 35 hours of practice a week (coun- ting classroom sessions). Everyday we worked our tails off, hitting and sweating all over each other in 85 degree heat. But as the season went on, game time rolled around, the hours of work showed, and definitely paid off. Our only loss came to a _ non- conference team, Mishawaka, 19-12. In my opinion, our most emotional victory was the game on Sept. 6 when we crush- ed Central 30-6. Before the game, it was massive insanity. The locker room was so crazy you couldn’t walk through it. Team spirit and team work was what was shown, but insanity made us different. After the game the entire team was hysterical. Beating our old junior high teammates made all the work wor- thwhile. I think if any sanity had been shown this season, our records and goals couldn’t have been reached, and if any sanity was shown, I missed it. —Scott A.

After all, we had lost only one person and what were last year’s inexperienced players were now fully experienced varsity players who were used to bein in regular game situations. We worke hard all through August and by the end of the month we were very confident about our ability. We entered our own Charger Invita- tional with a lot of confidence. We pleves great, just as we expected, and ooked forward to continued success throughout the season. Unfortunately, something went wrong. After our invita- tional we seemed to go downhill. It was not that the desire and effort weren't there; we just couldn’t seem to win. Sectional time came around and we got a great draw. We drew the bye and therefore had to beat only one team to et to the finals.

It wasn’t one play that won the game for us or made it exciting, it was the mental attitude of our team that did it. We were really psyched up for the game. Our team knew we could beat Central if we work- ed together. We knew we had the talent, if we could just use it. Everyone’s serves were over, the passes were good, the sets were high, and the hits were in. We communicated and gave 100 per cent ef- fort and won the game. We knew what we were capable of as a team. We practiced hard to stay a good team and strived even harder to become better. It was all worth it because we, as a team, achieved our biggest goals: to have a winning season; to improve in- dividually and as a team in our volleyball skills; and to have fun. —Kim Brennan Volleyball is a sport in which you must be on your toes at all times, as Kim Brennan shows nile waiting for Beth Marvel to bump the ball to her.

A winning season The 1984 cross country season started off with high hopes and the dream of go- ing to state as a team. In the beginning of the season nobody knew how we were going to do with only 10 returning runners and 15 first year runners, but we all went out and did the best we could. We started the season with some real- ly upsetting losses, but then we pulled together as a team and put in some great team efforts. When tournament season came around some of our young runners filled very well the places of some of our more experienced runners who were suffering from injuries. As I look back on the season I feel really good about our accomplishments: a winning season against some tough competition, pulling together as a team, and having our younger runners mature through the season. We look back on the season with pride. —Mike Hinton Girls’ Cross Country Won Opponent Lost 26-30 Clay 15-50 Riley S.B.

Our size was definitely the negative; we began our season on August 6 with seven hopeful rospects. That was disappointing ecause in a few of our meets, an addi- tional two or three runners could have made an immense difference. But that is not to say our team did not do well. We ended up with a winning season (6-5) and an NIC record of 6-4. We sur- prised many people and even ourselves when we became sectional runners-up and received the honor of being the first girls’ cross country from EMHS to make the trip down to regionals the following weekend. Unfortunately, we did not ad- vance on to the state meet. Our leadership this year came from senior sa es Leigh Earnhart and our new coach Dave Foutz. This is the first year we've had our own coach. All in all, we had a very successful season and I’m excited about what we could do next year. —Wendy Duff Quickening her pace, Doris Griffen works hard to earn third in Memorial’s inter-squad standing.

We ended our dual meet season with a 9-5 record, the best record our team has had during the four years that I've been on the team. Our con- ference record was 7-2, tying for se- cond place with Michigan City Elston, with Central being undefeated. This was also our best conference record since I’ve been a part of the Crimson Tide. All the hard work we put in at the beginning of the season paid off for the team. The key to winning a big meet and swimming your best times is to be psyched up. I tried to raise spirit on the team by carrying “Memo” (a stuf- fed Charger head on a stick), which became our team mascot. I also loved to lead cheers in the pool before every meet, which got everybody fired up. We gained some _ promising freshmen, among them Joan Mc- Casland and Kim Barnes. Joan swam with Jeana Crain, Kim and myself to set a new 400 freestyle relay. Kim See for the state meet in In- ianapolis in the 50 and 100 yard freestyles after winning the 100 in the sectional. She also broke the 100-yard fly and 100 yard backstroke records during the regular season. Everyone has a personal satisfac- tion when she reaches her goal or gets her best time. Sometimes this is more important than whether you win or lose. If you lose the meet or race, but you swam your best time, then you had a successful meet. I set goals to qualify to state in the 50 and 100 freestyle and to break the 200 freestyle record, missing each one by less than a second. Being captain of our team _ has given me valuable leadership. I en- joyed helping the freshmen get used to high school swimming. When so many people look up to you, you get a good feeling that your help is needed. I can’t say I was totally pleased with the season. I can’t thank m coach enough for helping us throug these times.

I have always responded in the same way. It’s easy, because we love the sport and enjoy working with our coaches and the other team members. We had hard, serious practices, but they didn’t go unrewarded because we have done very well as a team. We even found time to have a few laughs along the way. At the Central Invitational, we were not expected to do much, but we were determined to make our critics eat their words. We did prove ourselves as we captured first place out of 10 teams. This victory made people start thinking dif- ferently about our team and it made us feel very proud. We decided that wasn’t the last they were going to hear of the Memorial divers. About a month later, we had another in vitational. We traveled a little farther this time, as the meet was at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis. We didn’t come back empty handed, but with a se- cond place trophy for which we were totally unprepared.

(| TENNIS AWARDS } Most Valuable Player—Chris Car] | Mental Attitude—Andy Stamper | Most Improved—Robert Adams Sean Bean illustrates that humor plays an im- portant part in team practice. lay, to have fun The purpose of all junior varsity sports is to improve the younger players so that they can play varsity in the future. This is especially true in tennis. JV gives the young players a chance to et good playing experience. We had a ot of people come out for the team this year and the coach, Mr. Dave Whit- taker, did a rather good job of giving everyone a chance to play. The season was very successful as almost everyone made a marked im- provement. We had an outstanding group of freshmen this year. Freshmen Keith Johnson, Mark Thomas, and Steve Asbury look to be good prospects in the coming years. We also had a solid group of sophomores, including Brian Stamper and Kirk Holewinski who played number one and two singles respectively. Although tennis is somewhat an in- dividual sport, a good attitude toward the team is necessary for its success. We had that attitude this year. For instance, when one person haa completed a match, he would stay and root for his teammates who had yet to finish. If a player knows his team is behind him, he gets fired up and strives to win not only for himself but for the team as well. In every sport, winning is the most important goal, but when we lost, Coach Whittaker would say that it was all right as long as we played our best. Although winning is most important, having fun is also very important. We had a lot of fun this year and got to know each other very well. In the future we probably won’t remember whether we won or lost; we will remember the friends we made and the fun we had. —David Simonaitis mn Chris Carl, who received the MVP award, returns the ball with a forehand swing during a singles match in practice.

The team started out slowly, but after we got together and worked as a team we started winning. NorthWood was our best game, I believe, because we achieved our two main goals. Making points was one goal, and we reached 35 points, which was also our highest for the year. Improving our free throw percentage was another goal which we accomplished during this game. NorthWood was also our first game of the tournament. After beating them the night before 35-27, they beat us in the tournament 27-20. This being our first year at Memorial, as freshmen, we did well.

Many times we could have given up, but we kept hustling and it paid off. There were a lot of close games this yar, and we won many of them.

Al yackene is a good coach and he had many talented players to work with. The season did not seem to work out the way either the players or the coach thought it would. The JV team ended their year with a 3-17 record. All of our few wins came early in the year, which let the team with a sad ending for a season. After the season was over, the team started thinking about what they could have done to make the season better, but it was too late. The team had fun together and everyone enjoyed Coach Jackson, which made a losing year a lot more fun. The numbers that are shown in the record do not show or tell how much hard work and effort the team put into winning. Coach Bilger and Coach Jackson both think that with a lot of hard work over the summer that next year’s varsity and JV squads will be very competitive teams. —Mike Gallagher BOYS’ JV BASKETBALL WON OPPONENT LOST 41-29 Northridge Adams 43-48 40-36 Plymouth Penn 28-34 Riley 34-46 LaSalle 22-70 51-44 Holiday Tourney Holiday Tourney 37-48 Goshen 37-48 Cla 37-43 Mishawaka 40-46 NorthWood 43-54 Elston 41-55 Warsaw 26-43 Central 32-55 Fairfield 30-41 ag “= wee 2% fi Washington 45-58 a ae ee Adams 39-54 Concord 50-52 St. Joe 55-63 RECORD: 3-17 Jerry Redmond drives for two points during a Terrance Jones shoots over an opponent fro game which was lost to city-rival Elkhart Central Concord.

Finally, after many hard and long ogee the bad string of luck was roken by a win over St. Joe. By now we had played 12 games and were greatly improved, even though we had won on- ly three.

Swimmers make In the 1984-1985 swimming season, he men’s swim team had a very in- eresting year. Although the official ecord, 5-10 for the season, would not show it, the Crimsom Tide had a very positive season. Not necessarily positive n wins-to-losses, but the positive in pride and power. This power showed tself toward the end of the swimming keason, when the Tide began to increase ts strength against its closest regular season competitiors. This was the time pf year when the team had finally found put its potential. The sudden surge of power at the end pf the season helped the Tide to surprise h large amount of people, including iihemselves, by defeating the Goshen igh School swim team towards the end bf the year. This was the first for The Tide, and Goshen has always been ough. The members of the Tide have many arious opinions of the season. One sophomore stated that “he had done orse things.” Another swimmer, Scott Swaney, ecalls how the Goshen meet ended. The meet was very close from start to inish. At the beginning of the final svent, a relay, the Tide was still several points behind. The relay, however, ould pull off a win. The first two swim- progress mers were several body lengths behind when they finished due to Goshen’s powerful swimmers. But as the third Memorial swimmer, Mark Eikenberry, began his 100 yards, the gap began to close, and when Scott Swaney started his 100, he was determined to win the meet for the Tide. The last length began with Goshen a short length ahead, and finished with Scott touching out the Goshen anchor. The realization of the Tide’s victory came a few moments later. The Tide finished its season in a good way, and the swimmers felt as though the team had showed what it could do. As Coach Robinson said, ‘the record doesn’t show how the team worked together at the finish; it shows how they pushed themselves at the sectionals.” —Mark Eikenberry FRONT ROW: David Lancaster, Seth Bussert, Coach Stan Robinson, David Solo, Andy Hart.

The most trying part of being a diver is get- ting up at 5:45 every morning knowin that you have to jump into a cold Ray The first jump is the worst, but after that you are fully awake and ready to go Wauely): I would jump off the side of the pool first because the shock is over faster than jumping off the board. Andy Hart and I were the only divers competing at the end of the season. Gre Whitehead was unfortunately plague by illness and couldn’t complete the season. He still came to the meets and pave Andy and me support, which elped us a lot. Some people think that having only two divers at practice would be boring. This isn’t true when you have someone like Andy to dive with and a coach like Tom Adams. Tom really got us going in the morning because he was always ex- cited and “ready to go!”’ He had a way of building our eelecor HUBnee and getting Andy Hart practices the inward or pike dive, the most common dive in competition and the highest scored during sectionals. us to try dives. He helped at meets by telling us what to remember during our dives, which helped us not to be ner- vous. Andy worked hard and was always ready to try something new at practice. If he smacked on the water he could just laugh it off and try the dive again. His joking and his crazy per- sonality ade him fun to practice with. When we had a meet, Andy and I almost always finished 1st, 2nd, or 3rd at meets. This also produced consistent points for the team’s score from the div- ing event. I think we did well at the sectionals but had a few problems on certain dives. With Tom’s encouragement, we hung tough and both finished in the top 10, which I think is great! All in all, I feel we had a fine season. We learned a lot and had fun at the same time. Being a senior, I won’t have the privilege of coming back next year and working with Andy. I’m sure he’ll do great. —Gary Wolf First-year-diver Gary Wolf practices a forward dive, done only once during the season. He plac- ed 2nd in sectionals and 29th at state.

We had an advantage over the J.V. cheerleaders and Memorial’s first freshmen squad. We _ six varsity cheerleaders had cheered together the year before and knew what our capabilities were. All three squads put in acre of work and as we approached the end of our season I really thought it paid off. This year, instead of competing at the 4-H fair, which Memorial had done in previous years, we went to a cheerleading camp at Valparaiso University. When we came back from camp, we organized the cheerleadin clinic which we teach for the junior hig and grade schools. We taught them cheers and chants that we made up, in- SEATED: Anita Wenzel and Anne Conches. STANDING: Wer Gaydos, Kelly Chris, Penny Pippenger and Michelle Simmons. cluding one that many people know or are trying to learn, the MHS beat. During the season, we found that be- ing a cheerleader is a big commitment; most of our Friday and Saturday nights were spent cheering. The fans give us a lot of compliments. It encourages me when someone comes up to me and says, “You girls cheered real well last night,” or “Those outfits look sharp!” The freshmen fan participation at the varsity games really surprised all of us, too. In most sports they say, “Think win, give it your best shot, and have fun.” Cheerleading doesn’t have any competi- tion, but “Give it your best shot, and have fun,” goes for us, too. —Anne Conches Varsity cheerleaders pom a pyramid to rouse Charger spirit during Central game. alftime at the Memorial- Not all fun and games Being selected for the freshman cheerleading squad was great! When I first received the letter that told me I made the team, I was happy, yet disap- pointed. I was happy because I made the team, but disappointed because a close friend of ind didn’t. I was also nervous because I didn’t know any of the other cheerleaders. That insecure feeling changed after a couple of practices. As a squad we found out checelenting is a lot of work. When we went to cheerleading camp, Beth Neidhamer and Amy Roth help lead spirited cheers by Charger fans at a basketball game against Penn. Friendship “Carry high the Gold and Crimson ...’ We yelled this many times throughout the football and basketball season. Our J.V. squad consisted of five people. Each of us was an individual and over the summer we learned discipline and what friendship really means. Camp consisted of learning to grow up and working together. At camp each of us was assigned a big and little sister. We all helped each other when other squads had disagreements. Most important was our coach, Mrs. Litherland. She taught us what the word “polite” meant. I know each of us learn- ed a lot from her. —Beth Neidhamer we thought it was going to so much fun. I’m not saying it wasn’t fun, but it was a lot of et work! Coming in from junior high, the other cheerleaders and I discovered that cheerleading was not always what it appeared to be. We all had our “ups,” and we definitely had our fair amount of “downs.” As a team we feel we set a good ex- ample for upcoming freshman cheerleaders, and we're all looking for- ward to going out next year. —Hope Gary JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS —Sitting: Missy Harrington, Amy Roth, Sara Geyer.

The compulsory team consisted of Kelly Chris, Moni Goudarzi, Michelle Wyatt, Anne Conches, Andrea Howard, Shonne Slack, and Kim Wilkins. The compulsory sectional champions were Kim Wilkins—floor exercise, Kelly Chris—vault, and Shonne Slack—bars. Mrs. Litherland and Miss Ronk did an excellent job coaching us this year.

The 1984-1985 season was the best in Charger wrestling history. Many goals were achieved and many records were broken. We ended up with a season record of 9-1 and for the first time in Memorial history, we beat the Mishawaka Cavemen. Some of our best wrestling came at the invitati onals we attended. The team won the New Haven Invitational for the third time in a row, but Brian Green won his weight class for the fourth time. We captured both the Charger and Hobart Invitationals, and ended up in the top eight at Mishawaka. Many old records were broken this year, but the most impressive was Lee Albaugh’s five-second pin. He did it at Sectionals, which we won, with seven individual champions. Eleven wrestlers went to regionals, another record, but only Albaugh won his weight class, while Green, Scott Mills, Mark Mills, and Pat Marques received runner-up awards. With this line-up, Memorial wrestlin went to semi-state. Unfortunately, Mar Mills was unable to wrestle due to an injury. Albaugh was the only Memorial wrestler to place, getting second.

The volleyball season began the in- tramural year in late October, basketball started in November and ended March 6, and wiffleball started shortly after. Captained by senior George Siddons, the Evansville Purple Aces had a 10-0 record to become the year’s first in- tramural champions. “I think we proved we were the dominating factor and there was no competition,” said team member senior Jeff Schreiner. “We were an awesome team because we concentrated on getting the ball over the net on the serve and letting our defense do our scoring,” said senior Tim Keller waits for his teammate to hit the wiffleball so he can take a base during in- tramurals at lunch. Johnny Lewis and James Harris jump against each other in attempt to gain possession of the basketball. Adam Dexter. A total of 11 teams, including the Hoosiers, N.C. State, Jaspers, Shockers, Bulldogs, Demons, Hoyas, Pilots, Cougars, Bulls, and Chaminade par- ticipated in the basketball season with each playing five or six regular season games. The Hoosiers, captained by senior La- mont Jackson, won the regular season championship medals with a 6-0 record and the Hoyas finished second with a 5-1 mark, losing only to the Hoosiers, 37-36. The Hoosiers again faced the Hoyas in the basketball championship and won 36-33. The winning team consisted of Jackson, George Deal, Maurice Scott, Johnny Lewis, Cal Malone, Travis Jackson, and Earnest Walls. EMHS varsity basketball players Phil ” Pettis, Don Schultheis, and Vince Culbreath gave up more than half of - their lunch period to serve as referees, | Mr. Bruce Atkinson, aide and athletic y trainer, was the official scorekeeper while trying to keep the game and players under control. For their time and effort, the three referees were paid. “I feel the referees § were out there to do their best which, thought we did, but we still took much undeserved abuse,” said Schultheis. The wiffleball season began shortly after basketball in early March to con clude the 1984-85 intramural sports season. —Douglas Brown a 3 et During late March, EMHS students enjoy wat- ching or participating in wiffleball intramurals during lunch. Dave Mark is one of the many students who parectpete in volleyball intramurals during the unch hours in late October. During their lunch hours in November and December, Earnest Walls and Johnny Lewis play for the Hoosiers, one of 11 teams to participate in intramural basketball. Basketball intramurals provide Earnest Walls an epportunity to concentrate on things other than his high school classes. 109 SS ASS SAS OOS BESTS SES SUE saan Qe SS a a ‘ — DT o DO, cl UT KS Sane 27 IN ee oo ‘ oe ee SOI GREE POO ESEISY What quality in a friend is the most important to you? honesty loyalty personality sense of humor trust Barry Abell Michael Adams Lee Albaugh James Albright Melissa Alick Tina Allen Stephanie Aller Kelly Allman Cami Amendt Aleta Anderson Janet Arms Christie Arnett Wanda Arnold Mary Ashcraft Richard Ashcroft Kelly Asher Melissa Bailey Paul Bailey Valerie Bales Gregory Balmer Robert Banker Roy Barnett Dawn Barone Billy Beathea Diana Bechtold Amy Bell Tyrian Belt Ginger Bender Timothy Bennett Diane Berger Rick Berggren Bob Bloss Cristina Bloxson Gary Bontrager Tina Borem Boswell i yd 1 Bover hea Boyd Branscomb Becky Danie Cassell Bo Dorat John tton las Brown elle Brown h Steven Brooks Dou Mic Thomas Bri Dawn Brown y y rger Brown la ia Buckle y Bumba Bussert Vv il S Em i Steven Buckle yl Sol Seth Seniors sell class sweatshirts 113 Co . co e lat 1 4 | 4 ot Greg Butler Duncan Cairns Victor Calkins William Callender Paula Calloway Francis Secret Lisa Carlson Andrew Carpenter Michael Cataldo James Chenoweth Kelly Chris Robert Chupp Vicki Claassen Amy Clark Susan Clay ‘Rocky Horror’ worth seeing agai One of the growing trends among high school students is going to the mid- night movies on the weekends. Two of the popular ones are “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Pink Floyd “The Wall.” Both are shown at University Park Mall on most weekends. When going to see Rocky Horror you have to be prepared to bring several items from home. During certain parts of the show you get to throw several of the items you’ve brought, such as rice, water, toast, toilet paper, and cards. “Rocky Horror,” a fun weekend activity, re- quites the use of many household items. Connie mead and Aleta Anderson test out their am- munition before leaving for the movie. 114 Newspapers are used to keep the water and rice from bombarding the audience. Doug Brown said, “I enjoy Rocky Horror because I get to let out my frustrations by throwing cooked rice, which I can wad into balls. “IT don’t like the movie itself, but the added dialogue and getting into water fights with people I don’t know makes it worth seeing again,” stated Wendi eoency The movie Pink Floyd ‘The Wall” is based on the album Pink Floyd ‘The Sige ey Ry 8 Wall.” It is set up like a two-hour videé of the album. “I thought the movie wa really hard to understand. People know who understand and like it have seen the movie a lot.’”’ stated Michelle Reames. Dave Thomas had a different opinio “When you find Pink Floyd you need not search for more.” In all, most people either live by Pink Floyd “The Wall” or don’t like a understand it well enough to really ge into it as others do.

Tonia aber said, ‘The changes with the early please don’t really affect me, but I think the graduation date should not have been moved. The extra two weeks, with early senior graduation would have given us an early start to further our future plans, whatever they might be. I don’t think it’s fair to take that away from us.” Jeana Crain said, “A lot of changes have been made this year and some I don’t agree with. I’ve gone to school for 13 years to become a senior, and to have all the privileges that come along with that rank. I feel we’ve had a lot taken away. We don’t get out two weeks early, and no early releases. Maybe these changes will pay off in the long run, but I don’t feel they’re helping our senior class.” The changes made were insisted upon by the State’s Board of Education. The advantages from this change will im- prove the education of students graduating from the area senior highs, and will prove worthwhile for all. So seniors were advised to not get down.

Planning the prom involved more than developing a theme and choosin appropriate decorations. It invoked determining whether a band or a music machine would provide the best music, auditioning bands, designing programs and having them printed, deciding on costs for students attending the prom and doing it all within a budget. The athters and the junior class spon- sors, art teachers Ms. Janet Kronewitter and Mr. John Wolber, met during lunch hour to make decisions and offer sug- gestions about the prom, often with the junior class cabinet.

Some students expressed ‘heir irritation with friends or other udents who “bum rides” off people i ith cars. One reason this can be )ervewracking is as Amy Hales said, “It makes me nervous to have the respon- sibility for everyone in the car.” Parents occasionally posed a problem for some drivers because it was not always convenient to get the car or sometimes parents asked for errands. “When I started driving, my mother ask- ed me to do everything,” stated Pam Stines. Expenses of buying and maintaining Driving ...a plus or not? cars were financially big steps to take. Along with the price of ne car were the high costs of insurance. Especially with Midwest winters, car care is important and the prices run high. Many students worked to obtain money for their transportation and insurance costs. The price of gas also was a neccessary factor in financing a car.

Junior Jim Postle commented, “I like driving because I can go wherever I want.” Most students who had their licenses mentioned the responsi bility that came with being able to drive. Stines remark- ed, “You don’t have to rely on your parents as much.” Wendy Thiele, a sophomore who didn’t have her license at the time, thought the best part of having a license would be ‘‘the freedom to go anywhere, when ever you want.” Whether it was the freedom or the responsibility that people enjoyed, getting a driver's license was a major change in any stu- dent’s life in high school.

Pep Club meets goals | When walking through the halls and student center of Memorial, it was hard not to notice the brightly colored decorations and banners. Almost all the credit went to the members of Pep Club who gave much of their time to the various activities sponsored by the organization. Making and putting up the decora- tions was the most noticed of these ac- tivities, but they also had other respon- sibilities such as “cake day” for the athletes of every sport on the first day of their sectional. After one game of every season, usually the Central game, treat bags were handed out to the members of the team. The themes and activities for spirit weeks during the Central football and basketball games are all planned b Pep Club. Fund raisers for Pep Clu were the Sadie Hawkins ‘dance and back-to-school party. Making sure that a lot of sophomores and freshmen got involved was a goal for this year’s Pep Club officers. Mrs. Janet Hales, art teacher and Pep Club sponsor, commented, “The meeting held before school was larger than most of last year’s work groups and was at tended by a eencidere le number of freshmen and sophomores.” ; Jennifer Hershberger, president of Pep Club, reported, ‘Another goal was” to have more work sessions instead of doing everything in one day and to work more as a group.” Meetings were held the first Monday of every month during lunch hour for planning and deciding | when to have work days. | | The athletes who got lockers | decorated or treats were not the onh bene e who benefited from Pep Club’s work. Mrs. Hales stated, “Members get PHO out of doing service for others and eeling appreciated by others.” : !

The events are ‘{ramatic interpretation, boys’ and girls’ pe neous, poetry interpretation, yadio broadcasting, impromptu, discus- jon, humorous interpretation, original ratory, oratorical interpretation, and uo-drama interpretation. It is a dif- cult challenge but a pleasurable ex- erience to learn to communicate in dif- prent forms. . Speech Team challenging The beeen advantage of Speech Team is that it brings out the in- dividuality in each speaker. We are given the chance to express ourselves while conforming to the rules and guidelines established for each _par- ticular event. In whichever event we compete, we operate as one unified team for our school. Our coach, Mr. Frank Catanzarite, has been the key to our successes this year. He is very enthusiastic about pro- ducing competitive speakers and en- courages all EMHS students to par- ticipate on the team. “Speech Team is a lot of fun,” said Mr. Catanzarite. “I like to see kids building confidence in themselves every time they compete.” Although we struggled due to inex- perience, Speech Team has been an en- joyable and remarkable experience for me at Memorial. —Pete Schultz ulowetske, and Speech Team officers Rob Pietsch, Dianna nne Gassere tie greeting cards to the carnations the Speech Team sells Tamara Fritz Jerry Gage Lori Galbreath Michael Gallagher Cynthia Gantt Trisha Garberick Kurtis Garner Vernetta Gary Rodney Gates Diana George Sara Geyer William Gilley Darnell Gillingham Eric Glant 143 i H | if ! | i H i tl Jeanette Gordon Joseph Gorgol Cindy Goss Cathy Gould Jodi Graham Shaundalyn Graham Willie Graham Daryl!

The first week of the new school year with an additional class was different. They had mixed emotions about start- ing school this year. Some were excited and some, such as Sherri Smith, were scared and nervous. To some freshmen, the idea of many new people excited them while some people felt intimidated by them. “I wanted to meet different people,” replied Scott DeFreese. The freshmen discovered that they had their own lockers and they ex- perienced a ‘comfortable atmosphere” as Temera Taber put it. But one thing that most newcomers liked was the freedom of a hour lunch to go wherever they wanted. Taber said, “It was dif- ferent being mixed in with students in other grades.” Larita Redmond viewed the situation as being “an adventure” because of the many people and the many choices to make. There were things, of course, that the freshmen didn’t like about the first day of school, as Theresa Jackson stated, “I didn’t know anything about this big school.” Some freshmen got lost on the first day and said as the days flew b they became more familiar wit Memorial and no longer had trouble finding their classes.

There are two clubs. One is strictly for juniors and seniors while the other club is a pre- vocational class for sophomores. The of- fices for the junior and senior class are Charles Peete as president, Prima Win- quest as vice-president, Ricky ‘ Hunt, secretary, and Kevin Lemmons as the treasurer. In the sophomore class Missy Johnson is the president with Vernette Gary vice-president, Peggy Rieffle as secretary, and Tiawana Griffen as treasurer. The organization is designed to pro- vide the students with leadership and work skills. This club has year-round competition and regional Olympics. VICA is on-the-job-training explain- ed Mr. Ken Hauser, the sponsor of VICA “A little extra for them, more than just going to school and having a job,” he explained. After three hours of class time, the group at Memorial goes to their respec- tive jobs. Memorial’s group is part of a vocational co-operative educational program. VICA helped people through com- munity projects like Ride-A-Bike. “The group plans to place a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier in Washington, D.C., during the changing of the guards,” Mr. Hauser said, noting that the group makes an annual visit to the nation’s capitol.

Marilyn Alcozar, Eddie Franks, Russ Hoffman and Joe Hills are some of the many freshmen who attended “An Evening Sleigh Ride,” the winter dance. As warm weather approached, physical educa- tion students had an opportunity to play certain sports outside. These freshmen are enjoying a rousing game of speedball. Fighting against the elements, the fresiuuu cheerleaders lead the crowd in a chant at a ninth grade home football game. For the first time in Memorial’s history, freshmen contribute help to the decorations for the Sadies. Freshmen were actively involved with Pep Club this year. Positive feelings about changes Plan. Organize. Change. Transition. These words along with many others were to become very familiar to everyone as the 1984-85 school year came and went. Planning for the new middle school program took 14 months of visiting madile schools in Wisconsin and Michigan. At the same time, a high school planning committee was prepar- ing for the transition of ninth graders in- to igh school. “Two years ago we ran a needs assessment in the community, and, as a result, a recommendation to the school board was made that we close Brookdale Jr. High, create a mid- dle school program and two four-year high schools,’ said Dr. Warren Breniman, director of secondary educa- “Transition has been smooth for me,” says Mr. Clyde Riley who became vice perncipal this year after being assistant principal for five years. Miss Carolyn Cook took over at the helm of MHS as principal, replacing Dr. Palmer Mart, who retired last year after 12 years of service. Coming from Mishawaka Marian H.S. which had 650 students is a change for Mr. Ben Karasiak who replaced Mr. Clyde Riley as assistant principal. tion. “Four sub committees were form- ed, and the planning started with the first meeting on April 29, 1983. The four committees were: a Curricular Concerns Committee which dealt with recommen- ding curricular changes, graduation re- quirements and special programs such as the Career Center; a School Opera- tions Committee which handled the needs of teachers, scheduling, staff orientation, and the question of open lunches; a Student Parent Procedures Committee which dealt with new stu- dent orientation, attendance and discipline policies; and a Special Ninth grade Concerns Committee which had to decide whether or not freshmen would be included in extra-curricular activities such as the prom, stude government, and athletics. “The committee were made u department chairpersons from bi Central and Memorial to represent d ferent department’s interests, but th were not so large that you couldn’t ¢ things done,” said Dr. Breniman. For Dr. Frederick Bechtol superintendent of Elkhart Commun Schools who replaced Dr. Richa Miller in January of 1984, most of t planning was already done. “My j was mainly to supervise the a ministrators. By the time I arrived, mi of the planning was already in plac he observed.

Mr. Karasiak commented, ‘‘One of the differences between Memorial and Marian is that Marian offers mostly col- lege pep classes while MHS has classes for all abilities.” For Mr. Riley, the transition from be- ing assistant principal to Vice-Principal has been a smooth one. “It was a shift in responsibility for me,” he said. “I went from taking care of attendance and tar- dies to being in charge of discipline, budgetary items, and _ supervising maintenance. I think the transition went as smooth as can be expected,” he said. “Everybody experienced more frustra- tion. The staff realized they had to work longer hours, and the hallways were more crowded, bringing about more animosity among students. But, many positive things ve come with the freshmen. They have added school spirit and enthusiasm to our school and are involved in many extra-curricular activities.” Both Dr. Bechtold and Dr. Breniman agreed that it went very well, not to say there weren’t any problems. “I feel that it went well, considering the short time we had and the monumental tasks we had before us,” said Dr. Breniman. ‘We didn’t think we were casting things in stone, but we knew we had to be prepared. We had to be ready to take care of them,” he added. “We have started a great program which will make us a great system.” Dr. Robert Franklin is the assistant superinten- dent for the Elkhart Community Schools. One of his many duties includes visiting MHS once a year. School board members are (seated) William Cork, president, Gloria Gregory, secretary, and Ben Grove, vice-principal.

If you were lucky, you passed by without fur- ther notice, but if you accidentally drop- ped a piece of paper, chances are you were immediately apprehended and asked to pick it up. Known by many teachers and students as “Memorial’s trash lady,” Mrs. Bell takes EMHS pride very seriously. “The way our school ‘coke reflects our pride in Memorial,” she stated. “We talk about ‘crimson pride,’ so we have to show it!” Mrs. Bell’s crusade against litter got off to a roaring start with her students when she casually commented to one of her junior American Lit. classes that if they used the time during morning an- nouncements to go pick up trash, she wouldn’t count them tardy. This job became an immediate hit, and, thus, the “Second Hour Trash Patrol” was form- ed. The students became a familiar sight to faculty members and other students as they made their daily rounds. Accor- ding to Mrs. Bell, the other members of the faculty are supportive. ‘If one person cares about the way the school looks, then more people will start to care. Once, I spied a piece of paper on the eas Ne Be cve Labe! floor, and Mrs. Nielsen noticed it and said, ‘It’s mine, I’ll get it!’ ” Mrs. Bell cites the causes contribut to littered halls as a lack of wastebas! being available and the fact that pec use their lockers to put trash in, « then when they’re in a hurry, it all f out on the floor. Also, the increase in number of students, which causes m traffic in the hallway. “Students are usually polite whe ask them to go pick something up,” s Mrs. Bell. “If everyone in the sch dropped one piece of trash a day, th a lot of trash! To coin a phrase, ‘Ev litter bit hurts’!”’ David Flora David Foutz Christy Gildner James Greiner Mary Jo Grove James Hales Janet Hales Charles Hampton Mary Harrel William Haslem Kenneth Hauser Edward Hibshman James Holland Allen Jackson June Jarrett Linda Kenned Theresa Klanderud Janet Kronewitter Frank Kurth Michael Lattimer The famous “trash lady,” Mrs. Eleanor Bell, points out a piece of trash on the floor as Kathy Thompson, Julie Pettit, Scott Taylor and Mike McKibbin reinact the “trash matrol days? Grant for art program sought A grant for a program that would br- ing 40 sixth grade students from eight nearby elementary schools to work with art students at Memorial was sought by Mrs. Linda Kennedy, art department chairman. “A gift, according to Mrs. Kennedy, ‘‘be it in art, music, math, science, or whatever, is a terrible thin to waste ... students who are gifte have not realized their potential in all subject areas ... (because) ... skill pro- blems have been barriers to success ... (but if students) achieve excellence in one area, further develop their self- esteem, and become interested in other areas... Their skills develop because of the ‘mentor’ atmosphere and the know- ing that people really do care and are wi ” ling to help them...

Once selected, each student would take the Iowa Test of Basic Skills to deter- mine their level of knowledge. The selected sixth graders and high school students world participate in drawing and painting from observa- tions, creating visualizations of things inside themselves, print-making, ceramics, lost-wax castings, sculpture and photography. This program, Mrs. Kennedy said, would Hepanill increase the sixth graders’ interest in art and make them more successful in their general schos work. At the end of the year, each sixt grader would retake the Iowa Test ¢ Basic Skills to see how much they ha improved. A learning strategies teacher woul work individually with each student t improve their basic academic skills suc as note taking, organization of material reading comprehension and test takin methods. “A former student told me, ‘You mad me believe in myself,’”’ said Mrs. Ker nedy. “The goal of this program is t have talented art students develop suff ciently strong academic skills to gai success sooner in the art schools 1 which they are admitted.” Kim McGary watches Mrs. Linda Kennedy as she refines Kim’s clay project.

Vivian Orfanos Bruno Pikoraitis Lawrence Pio Jane Poe James Powers Laura Powers Rita Raval Dale Rems Jack Ridens George Riebs Janet Riley Stan Robinson Pam Scott Carolyn Shelton Richard Siler Virginia Spring Sandra Stern John Stinespring Coe Strain Gilbert Streeter New teachers enjoy EM While freshmen and _ sophomores were adjusting to their new surroun- dings, four other people—Miss Pam Scott, Miss Shari Swartzendruber, Mr. Ed Hibshman, and Mr. Frank Kur- th—were adjusting to the newness of their first year of teaching. Sound a little bit scary? According to a 1980 Memorial graduate Mr. Ed Hibshman, freshman and sophomore science teacher, “One of my biggest fears on the first day was wondering what I should call the other teachers, Mr. or Mrs. or by their first names.” Mr. Hibshman noted that having the freshmen here was one of the main dif- ferences between Memorial then and now. One of the rewards he gets from teaching is ‘when a student is looking through a microscoope and says, ‘““Wow that’s neat!’ ”’ Miss Pam Scott, language arts teacher, directed the children’s play and the all- school musical. She credited her father for stirring up her interest in theater. ‘My father was involved in theater so I used to watch him in plays, and it fascinated me,” she said. “One of my favorite memories of high school was when we did ‘Fiddler on the Roof.’ ”’ Wayne Stubbs Sharon Swartley Shari Swartzendruber Stanley Teal James Tracy Phyllis Tubbs Herbert Ulery Sueanne VonGunten Fred Voorde Sondra Walker Helen Watts John Wolber Dennis Wolf Sara Wood 172 HS “One of my fears on the first day was that I wouldn’t know what I was suppos- ed to be teaching. I overcame this by telling myself and my students that I don’t know everything,” she said. Miss Scott is looking forward to spending four weeks teaching English in India this summer. Miss Shari Swartzendruber, who taught second year Spanish, enjoys traveling and has been to Costa Rica and lived for a year in Spain. She noticed, “I have many students who would really benefit from an ex- perience like going to another country.” Mr. Kurth, who spent the first three Ree ere of the day at MHS and the last alf of the day at Central, commented, “I enjoy being a traveling teacher because it has allowed me the oppor- tunity to get to know and work with the students and faculty here at MHS,” but he added, “There are times I feel I am always on the run.” All four agreed that the staff and students were friendly and helpful. Mr. Hibshman said, “Although the freshmen needed to mature at the beginning of the year, they began to mature as the year went on.” Science teacher Mr. Frank Kurth, who divides his time between Central and Memorial, uses hae White as an example of a fly in front of the class. Miss Pam Scott uses her theatrical talents to direct the children’s play, “The Princess and the Pea,” as she talks to the sound crew through a headset. Miss Shari Swartzendruber cuts out traffic signs for her second-year Spanish classes, as they learn what is permitted and what is not in Spanish- speaking countries. First year teacher Mr. Ed Hibshman, who graduated from EMHS in 1980, reverses roles and shows freshmen scientists how to use the scales. Behind the scenes at EMHS Spirit was evident everywhere one looked this year at Memorial. Nowhere was this more evident than in the people who worked behind the scenes to keep the school functioning and running smoothly. Secretaries wrote passes for students, answered telephones, and made appointments. Two secretaries, Mrs. Pat Abell and Mrs. Betty Bair, were new to the building this year. Mrs. Abell became the new guidance secretary replacing Mrs. Marlene Taska, who retired ieee year, and Mrs. Bair became secretary to Vice-Principal Mr. Clyde Riley. Aides who were new this year included Mrs. Karen Pfister, Mrs. Sara Whitmer, Mr. Bruce Atkin- son, and Mrs. Vyvyan Dunlap. Secretaries—Mrs. Pat McIntyre, Mrs. Donna Tschupp, Mrs. Jeannine Johnson, Mrs. Pat Abell, Ms. Vicki Grall, Mrs. Betty Bair. Cafeteria workers had a big job with an additional class, the freshmen, to feed. Work to begin preparing the day’s lunches began bright and early every morning at 7:30, but the work didn’t end there! The kitchen had to be clean, and the plans for the next day all set and ready to go. pastodiane showed lots of spirit and ride in our school, also. Vacuuming the alls, emptying wastebaskets, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, assisting students with stubborn lockers, cleanin the restrooms, drinking fountains an hall mirrors all contributed to the good feeling that came when you walked down the halls of Memorial and thought to yourself, ‘This school has spirit!” Aides—FRONT ROW: Mrs. Nancy Lerner, Mrs. Joyce Simper, Mrs. Karen Pfister, Mrs. Sara Whitmer.

As Coach Dan Nommay told us at the beginning of the year, There is no 'I' in the word team. We set out on our voyage through the '85 season with a quest to capture the J.V. Tournament championship, and Sure enough we did it. We won the first round game by defeating a tough Mishawaka team 6-1.

The one quality that ig found rather unique was that we went into every game knowing somehow we would win.

We knew we had the talent, but could we play as a team and still be successful? As the year progressed, we proved that we could win and beat teams that we were not supposed to beat. One such team was South Bend Washington, which was ranked fourth in the state for the majority of the year. The first time we met was at Charger Field. We lost a heartbreaker 3-1, while Tim Peek, who has been referred to as Dwight Gooden Jr., picked up his first loss. In the second contest, we won 2-1 behind the strong pitching performance of Peek. This win gave us again some state recognition and a 15-5 slate. This year's schedule was referred to as the toughest in Charger baseball history by head coach Dick Siler. We played 13th ranked Fort Wayne Northrup three times, South Bend Washington twice, and Blackford, which has been to the state finals several times. One of the high points of the year for the team was the purchase of new uniforms, which were styled as a professional uniforn.

The team this year had the physical part of the game. With 11 returning letter winners and a strong group of sophomores and freshmen, we were definitely ready to take on the best teams around. The mental part of the game came tough for us this year. We were already to win, but we didn't really give it our all, and we got hurt after a few disappointing losses. For example, in the game we played against Central we were leading up until the sixth inning, and they came back to beat us 7-2. We Yevette Lutrell pam Stines I thought the season was okay.

With victories over South Bend Adams and Mishawaka, two teams that beat us last year, we were confident that we had the mental and physical abilities to beat the best teams around. One of our goals for this year was to improve our record over last year's of 4-10.

Max Neumayer kicks the ball way out of Memorial territory after a save by goalie Chris Hartman. 1985 proved to be the Memorial soccer team's most successful year to date. The kickers entered the season's last four games with a record of 5 wins and 7 losses. In 12 games the kickers had scored 32 goals against their opponents, while only 38 goals were scored against the Memorial defense. The credit for the year's greatly improved season can be split between the new coach Mr. David Freel and the new team members. Mr. Freel believed in having a well-balanced team in both offense and defense. Early in the season he stated, Our goal for this year is to build on the fine defensive teaching of last year's coach, Larry Gingrich, and to put together a scoring lineup to go along with the defense. We've realistically set up a goal to continue to build an even stronger program here at Memorial. Fifteen returning players and 18 new players gave Memorial a roster of 3 seniors, 9 juniors, 10 sophomores, and 11 freshmen. Skill was distributed equally between the lower and upper classmen with each year's incoming freshmen showing more and more talent. This talent coupled with upperclassmen leadership will promise Memorial some astounding teams for the future. -- Max Neumayer MONOLITH 11 After staying up most of the night, many prom-goers also plan activities for the next day.

Deciding on colors and accessories makes it the special occasion you want to remember. Several girls had their ' dresses made at home, while others frantically searched through the malls for that perfect dress that would make her look like a model, cost less than a car, and that no one else woulds have. After capturing a date and finding a dress came worrying about make-up, shoes, undergarments, hair, garter, and flowers. Stereotypical problems for the male prom-goer included finding a comfortable tux with the right color scheme, matching flowers, a clean, classy car, and enough money for the tickets, dinner at the Ritz, and the day after activities. Prom committee members using questionnaires and feedback from their friends, took hours deciding on and developing the theme, A Night in Heaven.

The evening of Saturday, May 4, brought 201 couples to the cafeteria decorated with lavender, pale blue, and scenes of angels and clouds. The junior class officers, cabinet, and other volunteers, with help from class sponsors Ms. Janet Kronewitter and Mr. John Wolber used paper angels, metallic crepe paper, angel hair, and chalk to create the heavenly atmosphere. Ms. Kronewitter reported, Only around a dozen students showed a real effort to show up to the work sessions and accomplish something. Many of those with no responsibility did more than a couple of the officers. It was decided by the cabinet, with responses from students, to raise the ticket charge by two dollars and hire The Music Machine. Class president Jennie Thomas said, there are always a lot of complaints about hired bands. The responses from the students supported the idea of a record dance, and I think it was successful. Pizza, pop, and more entertainment from The Music Machine was provided by parents who planned the after-prom party which began at 1:30 and ended at 3:30. MONOLITH 15 Fiddler gives experience Fiddler on the Roof, the 1985 musical, was a learning experience for everyone according to Miss Pam Scott, MHS's new drama director. The cast members learned a lot about Jewish culture and tradition, as well as a lot about how to put on a musical, said Miss Scott. The setting in turn-of-the- century Russia made the show a great challenge in many ways, but it also made the show meaningful. Some students might never have learned about this part of history if they hadn't been involved in 'Fiddler.'

Attention had to be given to detail to make everything look authentically Jewish. Early in the fall, Miss Scott began research, which included much reading, contacting other directors, talking with Jewish students, their parents, and representatives from the Temple Israel. Even though I had doubts about choosing 'Fiddler' because of the difficulty of the music, its length (almost three hours), and the difficulty of many of the leads, said Miss Scott, it has always been my favorite musical, and I needed to do Tevye (Scott McMeekan) beckons to the members of his family to gather for the prayer before the Sabbath dinner.

For the first time, professional musicians were hired to assist students in the orchestra pit with the difficult score. Mr. Donald Litherland, orchestra and band director, felt that hiring the professionals worked out very well because they showed leadership and made both the musicians and cast members feel more secure with the music. I was very impressed with the quality of the orchestra pit from the first rehearsal, - said Miss Scott. Mr. Litherland and the orchestra worked hard and it really showed.

MONOLITH 19 Girls’ track The girls' track team was very small this year. We had 18 girls, with no seniors on the team. We had four juniors, five sophomores, and nine freshmen. We didn't have many girls, so we started off with a slow season, but after we got rolling we started improving in something every meet. We had a very young team without the seniors, so we didn't have that much leadership. Next year, though, we should have a pretty good team if everyone returns, said Co-Captain Wendy Duff. In the Memorial-Central meet, our 400-meter relay team (Cora brown, Cynthia Pratcher, Lisa Redmond, and Debbie Howard) set a new meet and city record of :49.8. In the Princess City Relays in Mishawaka, our team placed 12th out of 16 teams. We had two very strong showings by ‘Fair season in track our shuttle hurdle relay team (Brown, Doris Griffen, Erica Fields, and Kim Wilkins), and Kim Crain placed 5th out of 32 girls in the 1600 meter run. Going into the sectional, we had someone qualified in every event except the 1600-meter relay team and discus. Crain erased a five-year-old school record, placing 3rd in the 1600 with the time of 5:25.82, and Redmond qualified for two regional events with her 3rd place in the 100 and 4th in the 200. Pratcher and Howard went to state after Pratcher placed 3rd in the 100 and the 200, and Howard placed second in the long jump at the regional at Fort Wayne.

Hartman, Leanne Boomershine, Friendships come first teammates second. During a tough match it was a comfort to know that team members were with you, even if they couldn't play the point for you. Having this encouragement could be the difference between winning and losing the match. At times this season, when our play wasn't at its best, the thing that kept us going was our friendship and mutual support. When we won, people were there to congratulate us as we came off the court. If we lost, those same people were there to console us and get us ready for the next match. Saarinen A islaniiinntll ‘: Tennis is a game that requires the player to be mentally stable at all times. A match should not be lost because one bad line call was made. There are no line judges in high school tennis, which makes it very easy to hate your opponent for making what you feel is a bad call. Our attitude this year was this: Tennis is important but we are also here to have fun. This may not seem like a winning attitude, but it worked. The best part was that even if you lost, you came off the court with your self respect still intact. --Elizabeth Werner AE RAS SOS SRE AT erent ek nds pT at 2 Keeping on her toes Elizabeth Werner follows MONOLITH 23 Golf Two-year letterwinner Scott Shrock won the team's most valuable player award.

While one is on the course trying to improve his average; he must keep in mind that his score also counts on the team total. Therefore, being a member of Memorial's golf team lets one improve his game while also helping the team. This year's golf team set many goals that we wished to accomplish. Our main goals were to beat Central, shoot under 321 as a team, and to have a winning season. We lost to Central 149-169, but we shot 320 as a team in one of our matches. This year's golf season was dedicated to Greg Whitehead's father, who died June 3 after suffering from leukemia. Therefore, before each match we said the Lord's Prayer and tried to win for Mr. Whitehead. The team consisted of a great bunch of guys. We were all enthusiastic about the season as our captain said, I knew that this would be a good season, because of the underclassmen and the experience that we had to have a good building season. It was really fun to be a part of Memorial's golf team this year. --Tom Kershner We don't remember days... we remember moments.
