This cry was foremost in the minds of students as they poured into the building at 7:30 a.m. on Septem- ber 3. Armed with the necessary notebooks and no. 2 pencils, students were ready to face the revised require- ments and new eight hour schedule presented to them. But there is more to a brand new year than new school policies. Creative types looked for- ward to The Diary Of Anne Frank, Seaholm ' s second fall play in recent history. Dedicated journalists concen- trated on the first issue of the re- established newspaper, the Highlan- der. Bookworms were prepared to meet the pressures of College Boards, and jocks anticipated SMA domi- nance. 2 OPENING Adorned in skirts and ready to enter the business world of the future, the Class of ' 89 marches into the gym and makes a subtle statement about the equality of men and women in the work force.

From the repainting of the parking lot to allow for safer departures to upgraded attendance policies and from IBM computers to Roland keyboards for piano classes, students are experiencing a new and improved Seaholm. The building hasn ' t changed much, but by relocating foreign language, social studies and communications classes to condense the departments, the interior organ- ization took on a whole new face. This increased efficiency set even higher standards for Excellence in Education. READY. SET, GO! 5 fdJuJ Seaholm is ready to go. What next? Students will look first to themselves for an answer. Individual hairstyles, leadership within student govern- ment as well as in community projects, and impressive SMA stan- dings all typify the outgoing attitude of the student body. Combined with a willingness to meet and surpass all challenges, students maintain the high academic, athletic, and extra- curricular standards that character- ize Seaholm. Added requirements and well regulated policies could never confine Seaholm ' s students, because they always go for the top. 6 OPENING 6o| Gbr ' ap zji kaked!

If the question is posed anytime before the last Friday in October, the answer would undoubtedly be, Field Day. Q.9 The amount of time put in to making all those costumes is amazing, asserted ' ' ' Nancy Murphy. Not everybody spends every free moment during the first ' ' P few months of school getting ready for Field Day. Many seniors make preparations for college and jobs, and, along with the rest of the student body, try to keep grades up, party on weekends, and look forward to the Sadie Hawkins dance in December. Quite often, students break away from traditional school sponsored activities, such as athletic events and dances, and demonstrate their ability to take on anything that comes their way. When students go beyond what is expected of them, either literally, by spending time abroad, or figuratively, by scoring above even Seaholm ' s high test averages, they prove to anyone who may be in doubt that Seaholm students are Ready For Anything! bvEhssasard 8 STUDENT LIFE DIVISION STUDENT LIFE DIVISION 9 V ' i Pains o£ Labor For three weeks during October, Sea- holm ' s four classes prepared for one of the school ' s oldest and most exciting traditions. Although unofficial preparation started before the first week of school was over, the scramble to pull together a floor show, banner, song, march, cheer, and field events began officially on October 3. After school work sessions began and in-school preparation soon followed. Every afternoon from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. up until the last week, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors all put in their time to get everything done on schedule. Although the work is sometimes tedious, most people will agree that it is all worth it. As junior Katie Buesser explained, Preparation is fun and it builds up anticipation for the real thing. When you see all your hard work come together, you know it ' s worthwhile. And even if a person doesn ' t have fun, they might, at best, learn something. As junior Ramsey Al-Sarraf said. After many hours of hard work, sophomore Justin Monteith stands proudly beside the finished sophomore banner and explains all the reasons why he thinks it will win. pholo bv Paul Donar Dan Jackson, Senior Class Field Day chairman, and Mitch Fischer. Senior Class president, advise the seniors on their cheer before they get ready to say it like they mean it. ' pholo by Doug Engie hv Kristin Fitzpatrick At least I learned how to iron. The last night to prepare. Work Wednes- day, is always a rush and chaotic. Everyone races around wondering if they will ever finish. Sophomore chairperson Sara Ferryman re- members vividly, The last day we were terrified that it wasn ' t going to happen. It was such a surprise when we were counting the costumes and we realized we had made it. Field Day preparation is often time consuming. Some people work every day after school, and it is a way to meet new people and strengthen old friendships. Many people think of Field Day as just a big contest between classes, but as freshman Brian Schickedanz explained, All the Freshman Class helped out, and if it wasn ' t for them we wouldn ' t have made it, but other people guided us too. We got help from advisors and the other classes, even the sophomores. It wasn ' t like a rivalry because everyone shared paints and borrowed supplies. The whole school was really together. 10 STUDENT LIFE While laboring away on Work Wednesday. J.J. Wentz.

The last of the Senior Class straggles into the gym doing something almost resembling the march. Senior Class Field Day chairman Dan Jackson tries to hide his disappointment and anxiety for the upcoming events. Could this prove to be the worst (and last) Field Day ever? Fortunately for everyone involved, the traditional Field Day spirit soon picked up. The Junior Class made a strong showing as gradu- ates a year early as A Class Ahead of Its Time. Although the Class of ' 87 came up short this year, they were pleased with their overall performance. As non-field-events chairperson Beth Hockman stated, We ' ve come a long way since freshman year in class unity and spirit. Although it was the third year of competition for the Junior Class, they were once again reminded of the responsibility involved. Trying to unify 300 kids makes you realize that everyone involved has to make a sacrifice, agreed Field Day chairman Peter Macey. by Stacey Springer Things went well for the seniors, who as Matadors, were Taking The Future by the Horns. Although they got off to a slow start, the seniors won most of the theme events. Co- costumes chair Colleen Roberts admitted, I was a little worried at the end of the march, but after we did the cheer, 1 knew we could pull it off. The biggest problem at this year ' s Field Day was the lack of participation. For Junior Class President Ramsey Al-Sarraf, participa- tion means the whole unification of the class. At the conclusion of Field Day ' 85 all classes united on the gym floor chanting, Long live Field Day! in response to the threat of the cancellation of Field Day next year. For Senior Class President Mitch Fischer, The unification of the whole school at the end of Field Day made all the work worth it. Members of the Senior Class look on anxiously as their flag shuttle relay team pulls ahead to take the lead. The original 20-member squad captured their fourth flag shuttle victory- ; f; v eos e ne , VJou par f t4i KoD I cud I uJe 1 4 b etv A , I=r i v e: ' oo.

To Seaholm freshmen, Field Day also means a totally new experience unique to our school. To sophomores, Field Day means the chance to rise above the other class and usually to defeat them. Field Day, however, is not all fun and games. A lot of preparation must go into this annual Seaholm tradition from making cos- tumes and banners to thinking up a song, cheer and march, not to mention composing a floorshow. All of these duties must be complet- ed and perfected before that Friday in the fall. The people on the preparation commit- tees often work long hours after school and on Saturdays. And not only do students get involved, but teachers help out as well. Patricia Hamming was the freshman advisor and Gerry Walter was the sophomore advisor this year. They helped to organize their classes so they could try to be the best ever. Miss Hamming feels that the students did all the work themselves. I was just there and available for them if needed. I picked up all the materials for them also. Miss Hamming also gives a lot of credit to Mrs. Wilson, who helped the freshmen as well. But making costumes isn ' t all that had to be done. Money had to be raised for Mott ' s Children ' s Hospital, which was chosen as the charity this year. The freshmen won this event for the lower class. The Freshmen, however, did not dominate on the day of Field Day. Although they were voted as having the better of the two logos, the sophomores won every field event except the flag shuttle (due to disqualification), the girls ' tug of war, and the girls ' three-legged race. While working hard to be successful for Field Day, both the freshmen and sophomores had their pleasure and triumph.

H « When this five word statement ■B is announced, and the cos- tumes are ripped off all of Seaholm ' s students ' bodies, the excitement of Field Day reaches its peak. The daily practices are forgotten as the competitors psych each other up for their events; the real thing is here. Everything is quiet, and as Mr. Derek Fries shoots the gun to start each event, all four classes cheer wildly for a victory. Field Day was almost cancelled this year due to lack of class participation. Many people would like to see more events added. Keri Mangiapane, a junior, is one who would like to see Field Day expanded. Mangiapane said, If they added more field events, more people would become involved and the participation would go up. Kerry Shea agreed; she advised to . . . Try your best to make a Field Event, and if you don ' t, get involved in another part of Field Day, somehow. Expecting a Field Day victory, the Junior Class was Ahead of Its Time. Perhaps with one more year of education the Juniors will prove to be more punctual. by Sarah York Sophomore Engell Pellumbi wasn ' t going to be in a Field Event until a friend talked him into running the three-legged race. He feels that he really contributed to his class ' victory. By winning my field event, I helped increase our lead over the Freshmen. Being on the flag shuttle relay team all four years, I never gave it a second thought not to participate; that ' s what Field Day means, asserted senior Katy Andreas. The pressure on the athletes in Field Day can be very intense. When asked about it, Eric Griner said, After the theme events, a class may need to catch up or to stay ahead of the other. The Field Events are really important because at this time, every point counts. Good athletes help. After all is said and done, this pressure is well worth it because without it. Field Day wouldn ' t be the same. The buildup of excite- ment wouldn ' t exist. Field Day, one of Sea- holm ' s oldest traditions, would be greatly missed if cancelled. Students vividly voiced this opinion as all four classes gathered on each others shoulders in the center of the gym shouting, Long live Field Day! f Sfs raRKft Taking Ihe Tature ©y rhe 9iopns !

FIELD DAY-FIELD EVENTS 17 BOP TIL YOU DROP Girls Come Through It had been torture all week. The final selection had been made three days ago, but therc ' d been no progress since. No progress, that is, except a dull, nagging stomach pain, sleepless nights, and nails that had been chewed to the bone. How do guys do it? Boys couldn ' t be braver than . . . girls? Suddenly, with a rare surge of courage (and a little bit of anti-chauvinism) she did it! With her hands trembling and a determined look on her face, she dialed his number. She dialed up Mr. Wonderful and asked him to the Sadie Hawkins Dance! It was heaven from that moment on! Every year, usually around early November, the Sadie Hawkins Plague hits Seaholm girls. The girls do the asking! What do the guys think of all this? It ' s great! For once the guys get to sit back and watch the girls squirm! stated junior Cory Robertson. But it often is a miserable situation for the by Karen Reynolds girls. It takes me so long to actually get enough guts to ask a guy to the dance. It is such a pain! declared senior Jennifer York. This year ' s dance was a smash hit, thought chairman Colleen Roberts. We really did some pre- plannng — to make the dance extra special this year, she added. The dance, traditionally sponsored by the senior class, was held on December 14th. The event was sold out in a week with all 250 tickets being sold. One of the most outstanding features of this year ' s dance, felt senior Karen Ingles, was the decorations. The Senior Class went all out and purchased 40 live Christmas trees that filled the cafeteria and commons creating a true winter wonderland! she informed. All the torture was worth it. Ingles affirmed, I couldn ' t have had a better time! Displaying their matching flowers, seniors Elissa Sard and Kevin Mylod pose prior to their second Sadie Hawkins appearance. First Things First bu Karen Lights, camera, action! There is extensive work involved in putting together a production. The building of sets, the lighting, the tickets, and the price of the tickets. But that ' s entertainment! Isn ' t that also exactly what is involved in putting on a dance? To an active dance planner this all seems rather familiar . . . and routine.

A lot of hard work is involved in putting together a dance, explained senior Amy Bowen. No one ever realizes all of the sweat and blood that goes into dance preparations, added sopho- more Charlie Leto.

Do you look for a spirited way to spend Friday nights? The answer may be found in attending Winners Circles. These events sponsored by the PTSA were dances held in conjunction with the home varsity football and basketball games. Winners Circles were held conveniently in the commons, cafeteria, and new outdoor dance floor, where students danced to a local band, or a chosen D.J. Students munched on refresh- by Jennifer Smith ments served in the cafeteria, many enjoyed the opportunity to sit and relax and share conversation with friends. Freshman Barbara Rocci found Winner Circles to be an enjoyed activity. I had a good time, she said. Winners Circles provided a perfect chance for students to celebrate the Maples ' victories, and to release all the pressures that may have built up during the week.

Swing In was fun: the music was great, and it gave me a chance to sit and talk to peo- ple, asserted freshman Julie John.

When asked what he thought of Swing In, junior Mike Beliasov said, It wasn ' t quite what I expected. There were all fresh- men and sophomores there. Junior Ann Holland felt Swing In should be continued. There should be some type of activity like this at the beginning of each new school year. It gives students a chance to get together and meet new people. DANCES 19 TAKING TIME OUT Favorite T.V. Show 1. The Cosby Show 2. Moonlighting 3. Miami Vice 4. Family Ties 5. Dynasty 6.

However, the conquests of Prince and Madonna soon gave way to a more startling spectacle. Once more, students could throw the cooler and the blanket in the back of the car and head up to Pine Knob to sway on The Hill with everyone from Paul Young and Nik Kershaw to the legendary Beach Boys. They were there when Sting crooned over a sea of raincoats and umbrellas. They were there by Paul Newton when Phil Collins decided that not only was No Jacket Required, but no concert was either. But what would happen when the summer skies faded into winter grey? Students would simply choose to move inside. Seaholmites soon invaded the arenas and concert halls to get a glimpse of The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Jack Wagner. Others could be found braving the midnight crowds at the Birming- ham Theater for tickets to the show that topped them all. Bruce The Boss Springsteen truly won the hearts of Seaholm in 1986.

He went to the Career Center and got a job. 1 went there because I figured that they would have a lot of good opportunities for me. I needed the job to pay for my Senior Trip to Florida and equip- ment for my darkroom at home. The Career Center is a good place to visit if you are looking for a job. A student can go in there, look at all of the different places that are hiring, and apply there. This student has an edge over someone else looking for a job, since he or she already knows the job openings for which to apply. Another way to get a job through the school is by joining either the SEOVEC or the Co-Op programs. Students are assigned jobs from names of employers after having taken specific pre- requisite classes in preparation for these jobs. Several local businesses participate in these programs, including Douglas Cleaners Swensons and Beau- mont Hospital in Royal Oak. The SEOVEC and Co-Op programs The friendly voice at the other end of the line when you call the Baldwin Public Library belongs to junior Ellen Shuster Ellen helps students locate anything they mav need pti i ' - i ' ' n i ) M,,ii.v by Sarah Yorl are designed to prepare stu- dents involved for their futures in a related field of work. Many Seaholm students ob- tain jobs by applying to differ- ent places. Belinda Carter, a junior who works as a cashier at Bonanza, applied there after her brother worked at that same restaurant. She said, I enjoy working at Bonanza. They ' re flexible to my sched- ule. I work with interesting people, and learn, too! Junior Jeff Vogel works to meet some of the major costs of his car. He has to pay for the gas and upkeep, as well as the insurance. Jeff feels that his job at Saunders has taught him as much as it has helped him. Working has given me the opportunity to earn spending money and has taught me responsibility and the impor- tance of balancing my home- work with other commit- ments. My summer job at Beverly Hills Athletic Club will allow me to earn money, meet new people and help my summer be more exciting, said Wendy Wagner. It will give me some- thing to do rather than watch soap operas all day! Great Week-Enders Parties are a big part of a Seahom student ' s social life. Ac- cording to junior Wendy Wagner, Parties are a great way to end the week. It ' s fun getting together with friends and having a good time without worring about the past week. Some people party with the same people every week while others choose different compa- nions. Senior Cindy Vanderbrug said, The people I party with are a lot of fun. Sometimes we ' ll go to a non-Seaholm party where we by Sarah York don ' t know anyone, just to meet new people Jon Teachman parties with different people. Different people have different charac- teristics, he explained. Why do people pick parties over other activities? Laura Schmidt answered, More peo- ple around you means more fun!

Members of all four classes, after receiving monetary pledges, follow a course around Birmingham in order to raise money for a pre-determined charity. This money is totalled for each class and points are given toward Field Day for the class in both the upper and lower schools who raises the most and has the greatest participation. As Kerry Shea proudly asser- ted, Not only does it help a hy Katy Andreae charity and your class at Field Day, it gives people a chance to go out with friends and do something you wouldn ' t usually do.

Barbara Angott Missionaries of Hope A group of students from the First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham left for Camden, New Jersey last June on mis- sionary work to the third most depressed city in the United States. There were twenty-five students involved, fifteen of whom were from Seaholm. They spent a week there run- ning a vacation Bible school for the children and helping at various day care centers throughout Camden. Ten peo- ple ran the vacation Bible school, teaching classes in the morning and painting the church sanctuary in the after- by Kevin Burke noon. The day care division split into groups of two and three and worked throughout Camden and chains of day care centers. The mission was headed by Reverend Stuart Broberg, who become affectionately known to the chil- dren as Reverend Fozzy Bear. The missions were to open the eyes and hearts of all involved, to break down cultural and racial barriers and to see each other as people, one and the same under God.

In July 1985, five Seaholm stu- dents, Sara Perryman, Steve Kopcha, Kevin Burke, Dan Muir, and Ernie Dambach, were a part of a company of nine that traveled to Haiti for ten days to help an impover- ished nation that is losing all Steve Kopcha ' s lap provides security and a welcome pillow for children in need of love and warmth in Port-au- Prince, Haiti. photo by Li2 Robertson by hope. Each student had to raise $1000 for the trip. About $300 of the money went to supplies for the Haitians, such as medicine and clothing. While in Haiti, the students mainly worked with the fifty kids at the orphanage. They established a sponsoring program where a person can sponsor a Haitian child for fifty dollars a month, as well as spending time meeting the people of the country and visiting various missions in the nation. Although the students gave a great deal, as Sara Perryman said, 1 received ten fold what 1 gave. Most Admired Men 1. Dad 2. Bob Geldof 3. Martin Luther King, Jr. 4. Ronald Reagan 5.

This was a commonly heard saying on October 17th, the day of the blood drive at Seaholm. The event, sponsored by the American Red Cross, was ex- tremely successful once again this year. The drive went on all day and raised over ninety pints of blood, putting Seaholm in the top ten schools in Southeast Michigan. There ' s a lot more involved than just offering to donate. First, there are requirements to be met. All blood donors must weigh at least one hundred and ten pounds and be at least seventeen years old. This last criteria cuts down on the number of donors in the school, limiting the majority to the senior class. Although giving blood isn ' t difficult, some people encoun- tered problems. Under the super- vision of the Red Cross workers, , many potential problems were avoided. For the most part even the people who had bad experi- ences did not regret their deci- sions to donate. Paul Mylod by Stacey Springer agreed, 1 really believe in the cause. I ' d definitely at least try again. Because of the relatively small number of people who could donate, there was some question as to the practicality of Seaholm sponsoring such an event. After the great success of the drive, there was no doubt that taking a chance paid off. The temptation of missing class alone didn ' t draw the crowds, they seemed to really care about the cause. Everybody who donated did so because they believed in what they were doing, said John Fitzpatrick, a Congress member who worked at the blood drive. Senior Burt Engel agreed, Giving blood helps others and makes you feel good about yourself, knowing you helped someone in need. One of the ninety donors at the blood drive, senior Pat Mitchell finds that donating blood is less painful than he expected. photo by Doug Efigle VOLUNTEERS 23 FREE FOR ALL Do You Know ?

' eekly It has expense (ik spens ' ) n. any cost or sacrifice. Most students be- come very familiar with this word as they progress through their high school careers. At times it seems as though money and high school are synonymous. Think about how many times you will spend money in four years. It ' s staggering! Since most students need to eat, and since food costs money, lunch is a major expense for every high schooler. Four dollars at McDonald ' s, three at Burger King — it all adds up. and before you know it you ' ve spent your whole allowance on fast food. (Assuming you get an allowance.) Sopho- more Kelly Anderson stated, I spent ten dollars one week just on lunch. Keeping up with the latest trends can be another costly activity. Buying all of the newest records, clothes and jewelry can really set a student back a few dollars. Some students take jobs by C. Lamarche to help meet this expense. Junior Kathy Catto said, I got a job to help pay for all the clothes that I want. For those who drive, there comes the seemingly ever- rising price of gasoline. The average high school driver will use up to three-quarters of a tank of gas each week. With the fluctuating price of petrol, money gets burned up almost as fast as the gas. Having fun seems to be the greatest expense for a high schooler. Be it a movie, skiing, or dinner, weekends zap the most from a student ' s bank account. With all of these expenses, it is understandable that most students are bank- rupt. Sophomores Sarah Ferryman and Ann Basile browse through the records at Marty ' s in Brimingham.

But in a school as large as Seaholm, with a student body as diversified and unique as this, there will always be the mavericks; students who want a little more out of life. Students who aren ' t afraid to stand up and say, Hey! There has got to be more than mold and bacteria when it comes to cul- ture. Senior Gail Rose was one of the privileged few students who had the opportunity to travel overseas to Europe and experience a culture quite different from her own. Escaping the stifling humidi- ty of August ' 85, Rose soon found herself basking in the balmy breezes of Brittany, France. Her stay lasted four weeks, and during that time she observed and expe- rienced many aspects of the French way of life. Communication was a prob- lem at first, Rose asserted, but with the help of my host family by Jason U ' Malley and a lot of patience, we made it through all right. Paris was the highlight of her trip where she visited the Eiffel Tower, the beautiful L ' arc de Triomphe, and the world re- nowned Louvre Museum of Art. Not only did she see the Mona Lisa, but she was sur- prised to run into fellow Seahol- mite senior Alyson Crabtree who was also spending August in France through the student exchange program. Crabtree resided in Fonte- nay Sous Bois, a town situated in northern France. Taking full advantage of the situation, she immersed herself completely into the French lifestyle and partook whole-heartedly of all that France had to offer; the sights, the history, and the cuisine. Stated Crabtree, Experiencing French culture helped me put American cul- ture into perspective. During her stay in France, senior Gail Rose spent a lot of time with her French ' ' sister ' ' Cecile to better understand the French culture. pholo by Fiii Charliet Favorite Fast Food Restaurant 1.

Twice during the year the foreign lan- guage department put on special foreign days. In late October the German classes put on the Oktoberfest. During the two lunch periods, German students dressed Ger- man, spoke German, and ate German food. Mary Stefano, a German teacher, remarked about Oktoberfest, 1 feel it is a great opportunity to use the language and find out about the German culture. by Mike Rafferty In February the French depart; ment sponsored a Mardi Gras. Like the Oktoberfest, it had plenty of food and music. The students sang and danced to French music. There was a raffle for food to end the day ' s festivities.

Was it totally dominated by lower classmen? Not at all, explained senior Leslie Cohen, who played Anne Frank ' s mother. We had seniors and juniors up there as well as freshmen and sophomores. John Fell and Bob Erwin, both seniors and both making their acting debutes, hid their inexperience well. Erwin portrayed Mr. Van Daan and Fell took the part of Peter Van Daan, who admired Anne Frank, played by freshman Alison Mould. Also making their first appearances on the Seaholm stage were Clint Bond, Scott Fischer, Beth Link, Steve Kopcha, and Liisa Laako.

Sophomore newcomer Amy Burch and senior Kevin Burke both assumed the responsibili- ties of directors. Amy and Kevin were fantastic. We could relate to them easily. recalled Tina Albright, who played Mar- got. One of the biggest duties that faced Burch and Burke was that of molding the actors into their respective characters. It ' s so important that they (the actors) become their roles. Otherwise the audience might misinterpret or find it hard to follow the development of that character. asserted Burke. Mr. Roger Warner, who also helped with the ' 84 production of Our Town, stepped in to help with this crucial character development. He really made a difference, said Leslie Co- hen. And not only Warner, but everyone involved with Anne Frank made it a great experi- ence and a great success. Director Kevin Burke helps freshman Scott Fisher rehearse his lines.

Cast Carries On Tradition As the chorus chanted Mazeltov {congratulations in Hebrew) after the wedding of Motel Kamzoil {Ted Halbert) and Tzeitel {Maureen McLaughlin) on the closing night of Fiddler on the Roof, many were congratulating each other for putting on another spectacular show for Seaholm and the Birmingham community. One reason for the musical ' s great success was the hard work and patience of new director Miss Liz Heckenhauer. Although this was only her first year at Sea- holm, directing its school musical was what she had always hoped for. The cast was fun, energetic, enthusiastic, yet could take criti- cism well, recalled Hecken- hauer. Heckenhauer also took personal interest in her cast members. She wasn ' t just a director, she was a friend, some- one you could really talk to if you had a problem. said junior Kevin Harlan, who played the roll of the Rabbi. Senior Tom Fiscella. who played the leading role of Tevye. was one of three cast-members who actually grew beards for the production. Pholo by Paul Donat by K. Mylod S. Spnngt i But the Heckenhauer success story wouldn ' t be complete with out first praising the work of student director Dan Jackson. As Heckenhauer put it, Dan was irreplaceable! 1 couldn ' t have done it without him. Senior Sue Davis, a member of the chorus, commented, He was the kind of guy that everyone could relate to. He not only did his job but helped with others too. He really went above and beyond the call of duty. And what about the hard working cast members? Senior Tom Fiscella, who had had prin- ciple roles in the last 3 musicals, was picked this year for the leading role. Fiscella, playing Tevye, the father, probably had his most challenging role ever, since the entire musical revolved around the character of Tevye and his ability to cope with the sudden changes in the Russian town of Anatevka and the con- flicts with tradition.

Cromer, Christie Sica, Kirsten Agresta, Halbert, McLaughlin, Gordon White and Lynne Sher- wood all displayed their singing, dancing, and acting talents in their major roles. Many of the 90 students in the Fiddler cast had to sacrifice jobs, sports, homework and sleep, but most importantly everyone had to give up mid-winter break in order to fully dedicate them- selves to the sometimes 7 or 8 hours of practice each day. Some days I would just go crazy. I couldn ' t stand it any more, explained Julie Reilly, a chorus dancer. And to relieve this ten- sion, cast members would bring in their radios and blast the music while they let it all hang loose on the auditorium stage. Or some- times movies were rented as a way of breaking from the action. And for most cast members, becoming involved with Fiddler on the Roof was not only an enjoyable experience but an edu- cational one as well. 1 learned a lot about what it was like back then (at the turn of the century), said freshman Scott Fischer. Se- nior Paul Mylod explained, I think ' Fiddler ' was one of the more realistic musicals that we have done because of how it religiously, politically, historically, and emotionally moved us. And as the last curtain dropped, the 1986 performance of Fiddler on the Roof was proven a success, without a doubt. Perchik (J.J.

As the President makes the voting motions le hears something like this: All tl ose in favor? Opposed? Sweet! ext ... Of course. Student Congress is not just a bunch of high school kids imitating adults. It is an attempt to represent ideas and to hear stu- dents ' complaints. As Congress President J.J. Cromer explains, Congress is the best way for students to express how they feel. It represents their voice in school matters. Although Congress has never ions actually had to use its power, this does not mean that it does not have any. Most students don ' t realize that if they want some- thing done or changed at school, their only hope is Congress, says Cromer. Congress works hard with the administration and the P.T.S.A. to obtain their objec- tives. As Corresponding Secre- tary Jackie Moss explains, The Some people think of Congress as just the kids who put together dances; but Congress really makes a more positive image for Sea- holm and helps out the community. 9 Charlie Leto upperschool dean, Charlie Scott, and the P.T.S.A. really respect the opinion of Congress. If we feel strongly about something, they help us carry it out. Congress has sponsored such things as the Blood Drive, the Canned Food Drive, Sledding Night, the Halloween Dance, and Teacher Appreciation Day, to name just a few. The money from these events is put in trust to Treasurer Heather Burch, and the money is then used to sponsor other activities and to buy the gift to the school. Being involved in Congress can take up a lot of time, but most Congress members will agree that it is worth it.

On the first day of school, each student who wished to campaign for a position attended a leader- ship seminar for 2 hours after school. Led by former class offi- cers, the students were advised of the proper leadership techniques necessary for achieving future goals. Speaking to their respective classes, the candidates presented their qualifications, goals, and past experiences in order to convince their classmates of their leadership abilities. But that is not all the campaign drive encompas- sed. Posters and political propa- ganda were spread throughout the halls to capture the students ' eyes and their votes. Once elected, the officers com- menced organization of Field Day. They concentrated primarily on the unification of each class. Although sophomore John Bur- leigh acknowledged that Field Day preparations were hectic and time consuming, he added, It was one of my best experiences as class president. Prom and Sadie Hawkins were next on the agenda for discussion. Although To be a successful and respected leader it ' s necessary to possess great communication skills, responsibility, en- ergy, patience, and most importantly, determina- tion. Kathleen Callahan the officers rely a great deal on student volunteers, much of the responsibility is entrusted to them. As a class officer, one must listen to the suggestions of his or her fellow students. As Sophomore Vice Presi- dent Leesa Miller elaborates, 1 feel good about myself for helping other students. She then went on to say, One achieves leadership qualities by recognizing the needs of the student body. Jim Boreland, the faculty advisor, agreed with Leesa ' s statement. A student leader is expected to as- sume the responsibilities in making the decisions and policies that affect the student population.

Delegates are the link be- tween the student body and the student government, stated Molly Roberts, a sophomore dele- gate. The delegates serve as the elected voices of the student body.

A delegate must be re- sponsible, hard working, not tim- id, dependable, easily able to speak his her mind, and able to communicate to and with peo- ple, she added.

Kasselman. K Kebl, S. Preston Contrary to popular beliefs, the varsity football and basketball cheerleaders put a lot of time and effort to make cheering look easy. Preparation began last June when most of the team left for a 10 day vacation to cheerleading camp at Ohio State University. The vacation consisted of getting up at 7:30 a.m. to learn cheers, dances, and mounts until noon. After lunch, they would practice more until 6:00 p.m. After 10 days of this cheerlead- ing enrichment, the squad came back to practice each week the rest of the summer. Part of this practice time was spent thinking of unusual ways to support the players, like decorating the locker room and sending encouragement food to their homes before their games. Fund raising was another im- portant part of the cheerleaders ' activities. The cheerleaders sold items such as boxer shorts, sweats, and holiday wrapping paper. They also held car washes. The car washes were really fun. They added a lot of excitement to ordinary fund raising, and the football players helped out with these activities as well, re- marked seniors Maureen Dunn and Cathy Lamarche. This money cheering isn ' t just all play and no work. People don ' t know the time and effort all of us put in to make everything turn out as well as it does. The fundraising and extra ac- tivities took a lot of hard work and precious time. Justin Mirro went for food and new uniforms. With all of the time put in, everybody got to know everyone very quickly. Considering that we were a really mixed group at the beginning, we really hit it off well, explained Meredith Miller. Much of this good feeling was the result of the efforts of sponsors Mrs. Susan Bosart and Mrs. Janice Mann. They do so much to encourage us and not criticize us, said Mary Beth Eppel, They ' re like second moth- ers to us. Without a doubt, this season was deemed a successful one even though our football team was unable to rival for the state championship. With their never-ending dedication and spirit, this year ' s varsity cheer- leading squad helped keep Sea- holm ' s enthusiasm and spirit alive and kicking. i tT-S. halftinie nj ' . jn-. .i the fans their winning : successfully construct int. pholo bu B Kasselman After an exhausting first half.

VARSITY CHEERLEADING 45 Starting Out Right $0 ' ,cet 6 s by M. Wester and L. Miller One of Seaholm ' s newest addi- tions in 1985 was the formation of the Varsity Soccer Cheeriead- ing Squad. The squad was primar- ily formed because of interests by soccer team members for a squad of their own. The cheerleaders went through a series of tryouts to make the squad and also spent time working together as a unit at cheerleading camp. The participants of this new cheerleading group were led by captain Susan Hufford and joined by male cheerleader Rocky Ro- land. The other squad members were Ann McElfrish, Tracy Rusin, Michelle Weir, Lee Hammond, Lynn Sherwood, Erin Netzloff, and Tina Albright. The addition of a male cheer- leader also spiced up their perfor- mances. With the help of senior Rocky Roland, the squad was able to perform more strenuous and physically demanding mounts as well as partner stunts. According to some of the squad members, male cheerleaders could greatly aid the performances of other Seaholm cheerleading squads in the future. The new cheerleaders prac- ticed outdoors after school for an average of six hours a week. Soccer cheerleading squad mem- ber Tracy Rusin reflected upon the squad ' s season. Without the feeling of togetherness that we were able to develop at camp, our attitudes would have been differ- ent and we would not have been If it weren ' t for the enthusiasm and partic- ipation of all squad members, our first cou- ple of performances and the rest of our season would not have been as rewarding and successful! Susan Hufford able to achieve as many success- ful performances. Using many original cheers, the cheerleaders performed at all varsity and junior varsity soccer games. Cheerleader Michelle Weir best summed up the squad ' s feelings towards cheerleading, Being a member of the cheer- leading squad helps one to get involved with school activities and support Seaholm school ath- letes! Captain Susan Hufford added, The squad had a lot of enthusiasm which enable us to develop new energy to help make the first year of varsity soccer cheerleading a really big suc- cess. The varsity soccer cheerlead- ers were a superior addition to the school cheerleading program. Judging from the spirit and to- getherness that this new group generated, the squad will be a welcomed part of the program for years to come. Thrusting their fists Into the air, Susan Hufford.

VanderBrug and D Quinn Let ' s go! Maroon! is one of the many cheers that can be heard echoing out of the Seaholm courtyard during the spring cheerleading tryouts. This time of year can be especially tense for underclass- man cheerleaders, because many of them have never cheered before. The tryouts and cheer- leading itself are very tough. It ' s a lot more difficult than we get credit for, attested Gwen Rob- ison, JV captain. Watching the rigorous tryouts, one sees what resembles a Broad- way tryout. There are about one hundred girls all trying out for thirty spots under the watchful eyes of Susan Bosart and Janice Mann, the cheerleading coaches. This competition goes on for three days. Then they ' re given a week to rehearse the cheers they learned and make up a cheer of their own to perform alone in front of a panel of judges. Recalling her tryout experi- ence, Sandy Song said, The final tryout was so scary for me, mainly because 1 was a freshman and had never done anything like that before. JV cheerleader Lisa Hill added, First the judges tell you what cheers they want to hear and you do those cheers, then you What you look like has nothing to do with cheerleading, it takes a lot of coordination, balance, concentration and most of all, dedica- tion. People never get to see how much time we put into it.

These tough tryouts produce the fine cheering that is heard at every JV and frosh game. In fact, the JV was so good this year they placed sixth out of twenty-seven in a competition in which the winner got to cheer at a Pistons game in the Silvcrdome. Cheerleading isn ' t a social club, it takes a lot of sweat and hard practicing, just like the football team. We start in the summer by going to cheerleading camp but we don ' t stop then, we cheer all year long! stated Kelly Wilkes. The freshmen have to work just as hard, if not harder, because of being so new to cheerleading. As Kristin Longnecker said, Freshman cheer- leading is really a building block type of thing because none of us have really ever cheered before. 48 FRESHMAN CHEERLEADING The JV cheerleaders sai hello during half time to all the spectators at the Andover game by performing a mount that requires teamwork. pholo by Paul Donar Gwen Robison and Kate Weatherston, elated with pride, smile as they lead the crowd in a spirit-filled cheer for a victorious Maple team. photo by Paul Donar JV CHEERLEADERS.

JV CHEERLEADiNG 49 Behind ' Em All The Way by Amy Trees The spirit of the majorette and pom pon squads is what makes Seaholm games so excit- ing, according to senior Heather Burch. The pom pon and major- ette squads worked hard to keep the Maples ' spirit flying high this year. The 14 pom pon girls, spon- sored by Mrs. Krause and led by captains Jodi Wyett and Anne Hess, began their summer pre- parations at Mid-American Pom Pon Summer Camp for one week of practice and competitions. Jodi Wyett asserted, The prac- tices at camp were demanding and the competitions put a lot of pressure on the squad, but in the end, it was all worth it. The girls continued to work diligently throughout the year. The squad practiced at least two times a week putting together unique dances to the latest rock hits. They also devoted much of their time raising money by selling such items as bagels and pom pons. Anne Hess explained, The money earned from these fund raisers was used to benefit Sea- holm sports. This year, the money bought new uniforms for the basketball teams. The majorette squad also worked hard from the moment selections were made. This year only 6 girls were judged as having the necessary talent to be a 1985 The pom pon and majorette squads sup- port the football team with true spirit no matter if we win or lose . . . they are important and deserve credit. ' ' -Jeff Siver majorette. The chosen girls, led by co-captains Laura Schmidt and Beth Szuhay, and sponsor Marci Berry began their intense practic- ing at the Fred J. Miller Clinic. There, they learned new skills and routines, winning second place in the group competition. The girls were also involved in exhibitions with the band. Major- ette Beth Snider said, The majorette squad and the band work together as a team. The girls practiced daily with the band and the two captains organized night rehearsals where the girls ran through and critiqued their routines. Both the majorette and pom pon squads agree that being a member of either squad requires time, extreme effort, and true dedication, but according to Beth Szuhay, it ' s worth it. The advan- tages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. m U Pom pon girts Julie Rising, Keri Mangiapane, and Anne Krause demonstrate their ca- maraderie at the Silverdome football game on November 2 The pom pon girls are in high spirits after a long morning of practices and competi- tions at Mid-American Pom Pon Camp. 50 MAJORETTES AND POM PONS Majorettes Trinna Frever, Mary McCrae, Laura Schmidt, and Beth Snider stand respectfully as they enhance the Maples ' spirit at the Silver- dome game, photo by Doug Engle With intense concentration and poise, majorette Beth Szuhay prepares to entertain the Silver- dome crowd with the twirls of her baton. photo by Doug Engle FRONT ROW Jenny Mayhew Jenny ROW Anita Motwani, Keri Mangiapane.

As one walks closer to Maple Field, the reflection of the stadium lights off the shiny, well- polished horn section draws the eye. The Seaholm Marching Band was directed by Tom Course and was led by two student field directors. Junior Mara Simich and senior Linda Cadaret led the 115- member marching band through many successful performances during the season. Playing during fifth period, the band devoted an hour and a half a day to practice. Junior Mara Simich told the story of this fall ' s band, We started out slow but with a lot of hard work and effort we turned out to be a great marching band. The band displayed their ex- pertise at football games, par- ades, and marching competitions. Although the band has not cap- tured any major titles they gave an excellent performance at the Dondero Marching Tournament. Being a part of the band helps a lot of people look down on band mem- bers, but what they don ' t realize is that band is a lot of hard work, is time consum- ing, and requires a positive attitude. - Paul Newton a person work on his present musical talents or explore new musical horizons. For many senior members, playing in the band was second nature after completing several previous years of marching. For freshmen the band was an excellent opportunity to get in- volved. Sophomore drummer Mike Keppler reflected on his experi- ences, Being a member of the marching band helps one to feel the Seaholm spirit and unity that can be displayed in a group of individuals.

The Symphony Band perform- ed at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor for the first time ever after receiving an invitation during the 1985 District State Band Or- chestra Festival. Since the same band that earned the invitation wouldn ' t return with the same talent, director Thomas Course had to create a band that would live up to the previous band ' s reputation. Course elaborated, The Seaholm Symphony Band has always had a long record of achievements as one of the best bands in Michigan. Since we did so well in Ann Arbor, we extend- ed our reputation to next year ' s Most of the members have adjusted to the change of having just one band unlike last year when there was a symphony band along with a concert band. Senior Jonathan Teachman accepted the change as well, but pointed out, 1 think most people would want a chance to be on top of a second band instead of being on the bottom of just one band. It was very excit- ing. It was also very nerve-racking because we weren ' t just play- ing on the U-M cam- pus, we were playing in front of everyone from the campus. Julie Adkins by Craig Ciccone band. The truth is sometimes hard to swallow, especially when the truth leaves people out. No one understands the feeling of being left out better than the other side of the instrumental department, the orchestra. Conductor Victor Hickman doesn ' t blame people for not responding as well to the orchestra as they do for the band. The band plays lighter and more familiar suites and other litera- ture. Bands can play orchestal transcriptions, but it doesn ' t work the other way around. The orchestra also participated in the District State Band Or- chestra Festival, receiving first division ratings as well. So if there is a feeling of being left out, commented sophomore Bob Bird, it starts from outside of the orchestra because inside, we ' re a close group with a lot of talent - with or without the band.

The major focal point stressed upon both choirs was learning music theory and how to sight read (or sing as one reads the music) in order to create a suffi- cient musical foundation. When describing her attitude toward the Concert Choir, sophomore Kate Weatherson commented, Music theory was a pain, but it was necessary because when termi- nology was used and sight reading was enforced, we were able to understand what was going on, Though choirs may seem ex- tremely group oriented, Kristen VonBernthal disagreed, remar- king that, There was a lot of individual help. If someone wasn ' t following the proper singing techniques (breathing, posture, etc . . .) Mr. Branstrom would stop and give pointers which ultimate- ly benefited the group. The efforts put forth by the Freshmen and Concert Choirs were certainly impressive, and hopefully will set a precedent for future choirs to come. Because a lot of time was spent on the academics surrounding these vo- cal music classes, the Freshmen and Concert Choirs were only a Mr. Branstrom is an incredible musical di- rector and very un- derrated. In one se- mester he ' s done more for my singing than any other music teach- er I ' ve ever been asso- ciated with. Monica Mylod allowed two concert performan- ces; one in the winter and one in the spring. The Concert Choir had a rich quality about it this year which surprised many, including them- selves, but as Musical Director and Department Head Eugene Branstrom put it, The Freshmen choir was really the choir which improved the furthest from day one. I noticed them applying what was taught them to their singing, and it really built up their confi- dence individually as well as a group. They ' re all a great group of kids to work with and 1 foresee an incredibly well-rounded and talented Maple Chorale next year. With the spring vocal music concert creeping up quickly, the sophomore Concert Choir members repeatedly re- hearse their chosen musical number to perfection. photo by D Engle By becoming relaxed before a hard day ' s work singing in 8th period Concert Choir, Amy Trerice participates in a much desired backrubbing session. phoio by D- Engle As she endea vors to psych herself up before the winter concert.

Music director Eugene Branstrom, otherwise known as Huge by his students, said that the chorale really enjoyed singing. This was extremely helpful to me because with the shortened periods there was less rehearsal time, and their enthusiasm allowed them to handle more quality music litera- ture. Chorale is a class, so the 38 chorale members were required to review music theory and sight reading techniques. The excitement didn ' t begin until the group ' s first performance: the December 19 winter concert. Among the group ' s vocal selections were He Shall Purify and The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel ' s The Messi- ah. A month later, a few chorale members (Christy Sica, Kiersten Agresta, Lynne Sherwood, J.J. Cromer and Rocky Roland) per- formed in the State Honors Choir program held at the University of Michigan. From there, a special choir presentation was held on February 28 at St. James Episco- pal Church in Birmingham where Lakewood High School ' s choir from Lake Odessa, Michigan and Seaholm ' s Chorale combined voices; 96 to be exact! Though the chorale has long had an impressive reputation, Seaholm ' s Men ' s Vocal Society (S.M.V.S.) also performed tre- mendously, retaining the tradition Everyone, for the most part, is equally talented. There is also a great morale and a lot of interaction among the chorale members so I enjoy the class that much more. Kiersten Agresta which has evolved since the organization ' s start in 1983. Ob- viously the judges at Michigan ' s Vocal Music Festival agreed, for S.M.V.S. received 1, the high- est mark of distinction, for their vocal interpretations of Shanen- doah and Sam Was A Man. Though there was some question as to the continuation of S.M.V.S. at the beginning of the year, the guys from chorale, as member Andy Jordan put it, . . . got a lot of satisfaction from the improve- ment made before festival. No one really stood out so there was a true blend which is needed in a group like that. Although both Chorale and S.M.V.S. were extremely busy this year, they were able to maintain the successful and pro- fessional performance level which has been so typical of Scaholm choirs for years and years.

But these misinformed peo- ple may be surprised to learn that some special staff members be- gan intense preparation as early as the first week of April in the previous school year. Last sum- mer, Liz Krebs, Libbie Wilson, Elissa Sard, Katy Andreae, Kris- tin Fitzpatrick, Stacey Springer, Claudette Rowley, Paul Mylod, and Doug Engle attended a na- tional yearbook workshop for a week at Ball State University. There they participated in daily workshops with mock deadlines in order to master those skills neces- sary to survive on an award winning yearbook staff. Awards for the 1985 Piper included both the Buckeye Award and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association ' s highest ra- tings. But the awards are fringe benefits of why they do it.

T Morton. T Schumaker There you sit, waiting nervous- ly for your turn to approach the podium to state your argument. Your dry lips beg for moisture and your pulse beats feverishly. When your name is called, you move to the podium like a robot, ready to debate. But something is wrong. The words don ' t spill out, for you have not only forgotten the de- bate arguments, but the debate topic as well. Pulling your senses together, you set up your cards, force a smile, and try to begin. No, you re not the only one this has ever happened to. For most of us, getting through one speech, let alone one speech class, is more than enough. But Seaholm deba- ters face this challenge at every competition. The Maples ' debate team is divided into two divisions. Novice and Varsity. The Novice Division is made up of first-year debaters. the top four of which were select- ed to go to states this year. The varsity team consisted of experi- enced debaters Carrie Crink, Molly Hauser, Joel McElvain, Claus VonZastro, and Amy Zal- man, who has been debating for four years. The class is taught by flex teachers John Klemme and new- comer Peter Shaheen. One of the Being in a debate class has taught me a lot, I ' ve learned to research well, speak louder and clearer in public, and to think fast, very fast! Every- thing I ' ve learned will help out in college. Joel McElvain teachers works with Varsity and the other with Novice. The team, which debates only one topic throughout the year, competed against othef schools en the topic, Water Quality . During competition the team is allowed only two debaters for either the affirma- tive or the negative side. The Maples made it to the final round of their first tournament and then continued throughout the year to place well in others. The Seaholm debate team trav- eled all over the state for competi- tions including a trip to Toledo, Ohio. Since competitions are held on weekends, thf students must be devoted. You only get out of it what you put into it, said Crink.

Forensics is competitive speaking which is presented in two different ways. The first of these is called Public Address. This in- cludes informative and persuasive speeches as well as orations. The second category is entitled Interpretation. This includes dra- matic, humorous, duo and multiple interpretation. The participants choose a piece that they want to use in competition. The advisors, John Klemme and Pete Shaheen, help choose what is performed and help in the cutting and adapting of the scripts. They also give directions on characteriza- tion (interpreting the character in the script). Three-year forensicator Tom Fis- cella finds forensics rewarding.

There are between three and five preliminary rounds before the semi-final cut. The competitors rotate between two pieces of work for each round they advance to the final rounds. These competitions are the major thrust of the year. There is the same pressure for forensica- tors as there is for a sports participant, according to Mau- reen McLaughlin. It takes a lot of dedication. You must have the ability to understand literature and theme. You have to convert this understanding to a physical, dramatic statement.

Springer Following the examples set in many other areas of the school, Seaholm ' s Model United Nations received its share of revisions this year. The model U.N., or BUNA (Birmingham United Nations As- sociation) was losing its effective- ness in its old format and badly needed updating. With Judy Ma- cey taking on the job of advisor and the new Executive Board made up of seven selected stu- dents, BUNA was changed to suit the needs of the students. BUNA was moved to a weekend format in order to invite other schools to participate and to simulate more accurately the proceedings of the United Nations, Mrs. Macey explained in response to the questions concerning the dramat- ic change in BUNA ' s format. The most noticeable change came in the basic format of BUNA. Instead of meeting on school time for two days, BUNA met Friday night and during the day Saturday and Sunday, the weekend of January 24-26. The group split into three different committees: the social and hu- manitarian, the political and mili- tary, and the economic financial committees. Each country sent one delegate to each of the committees to discuss resolutions 66 Between the com- mittees and the Gener- al Assembly, BUNA was really great fun. It was one of the few times in school all year that I had to act seri- ous, pay attention, do research, and still had a terrific time. Jeff Tenniswood relating directly to their specific topics. BUNA officially started with a speech by Mrs. Nancy Good, an expert on the Middle East. Anoth- er new feature of BUNA, the speaker was intended to relate the model U.N. to the real thing. The addition of students from other schools was also important to the success of BUNA. Overall, BUNA came off better than it has in the past few years. Second-year BUNA participant Anne Hess agreed, BUNA was much more organized this year; I think we were able to get a lot more accomplished. Because of the weekend format, only the people who were really interested and really wanted to be there showed up. The changes were definitely for the better. Seniors Barrett Tripp. Brad Kasselman.

Applicants must first have at least a 3.4 grade point average. Then, they have to complete these applications listing all their extracurricular activities and community services. But wait, there ' s more! After these applica- tions have been voted on by a panel of teachers (juniors are required five votes and seniors seven), they are given to the Admissions Committee where each application is judged. Once the choices have been made, each applicant is notified of his accep- tance and the induction ceremony is held in May. What ' s the reasoning behind all this hassle?

The activity most benefi- cial to Seaholm was tutoring. Every Wednesday after school, NHS members tutored students in any subject. A frequent chemistry tutor, Scott Milius, said, We must have a good reputation, because we always have more people than we have tutors. NHS did provoke involvement and enthusiasm but there were also those who didn ' t contribute because they were either too involved in other activities or they felt it was not worthwhile. When describing NHS, Treasurer Karen Marshall said, Sometimes we ' re unenthusiastic and it ' s no one ' s fault. We should be inducted earlier so there ' s more time to get involved and organized. Whatever the viewpoint may have been NHS did serve the community, Seaholm and its stu- dents, and a reason such as this should be motivational for becom- ing a member. 70 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY While explaining the abstract concepts hidden in scientific word problems, Stacey Szidik helps Dawn Aginian conquer the frustration of chemistry. photo by E, Sard NHS FIRST ROW Katy Hennessy, Jenny Voorhis Linda Cadaret Chervl Bert.

Dunn and R. Wetstein When the curtain opens, the stage is set, and the lights flash on. The music begins, and the mood is created for the 1985 drama club. As the beginning year for the drama club, 1985 has been espe- cially successful. The club consisted of Seaholm students of all grades, with vary- ing levels of acting ability. We are mainly here for our own pleasure, said Dan Jackson, head of the drama club. Jackson and his drama associates, which include Kevin Burke, Gordon White, Lynn Sherwood and Cheryl Tomblinson, enjoyed aid- ing the promising drama members with drama basics. The club was sponsored and led by Phyllis Duda, a new English teacher and accomplished Thes- pian. Without Mrs. Duda, noth- ing would be possible, explained Jackson. I ' ve tried to get a club going for two years and finally Mrs. Duda was the one to say ' yes ' , he added. At the opening meeting, ap- proximately 20 to 30 students appeared. This large number increased in the later meetings, as more students heard about the club. We are not looking for experienced actors, said Gordon White, We are aiming to pro- mote and encourage drama for all students. ■We weren ' t even expecting such a turn out. The amount of people increased two times by the second meeting. It really shows the students who have a thirst for drama. -Dan Jackson Participating in a number of activities, the club members got a taste of what drama is all about. Films, depicting actors at their best, field trips to plays and operas, and lectures by experi- enced speakers in the field of drama were some of the events that students were invited to view. James W. Beaumont, director of A Chorus Line and Nancy Hess, who had a role in the musical, were two of the distinguished Thespians that visited the drama club this year. They spoke on their experiences as profession- als, and gave the students some good advice. The Atrics, the name of the club, demonstrates the members ' desire to fulfill student interest in theatrics. Look for us in the future, predicted Dan Jackson proudly, when our talent will be recognized!

Instead, these talent- ed individuals gain their thrills through such accomplishments as solving challenging computer problems and creating their own television series. I see our computer team as being just like any other sport, said senior Tim Carroll, who was one of the team ' s top competitors. In a typical match, four people from each team are given 150 minutes to solve four computer problems on the Apple 11 comput- er. Points are subtracted for bad runs as well as for running over- time. Seaholm has excelled against their competitors, some being Country Day and Brother Rice. Seaholm has captured league championships for the last three years. Our toughest opponent is Brother Rice, noted Matt Kli- mesh. Those students involved in Video Club wrote, directed and produced their own television shows. I joined the Video Club to get a head start in a career I always wanted to see, explained Sarah Paulkstis.

Mike Fortuna still out to make the best product they can. Most students joined the Video Club to have a good time, to meet new people and most important- ly, to learn about the growing field of television broadcasting. Video Club productions are aired on BPS Channel 21. One show that can be seen right now is Mind Your Language, a quiz game show. The Video Club also started a new exciting series called Psychiatrists of Our Lives , (a soap spinoff). Both the computer team and Video Club members experience the challenge of lively compe- tions. In addition, the skills learned will be a great asset in college and the working world, especially with heavy usage of computers and a need of visual equipment today.

The boys team, run by seniors Alex O ' Kulich and Rich Bayman, competed in the U-19 Premier Division and was comprised main- ly of varsity players.

To take the risk and deviate from the popular mode requires strength in character and personal confidence. Around Seaholm, breaking away from the norm is the norm. From fashion to athletics to academics, students are going all out to excel by setting trends. But why is there such a thrust for excellence? What makes a student want to break new ground? Matt Witbeck, a junior, feels that the liveliness and friendliness of the school creates a unique atmosphere.

Suddenly it ' s your senior year. And before you know it college is just around the corner. Registration . . . Field Day . . . College Applications . . . Prom . . . Swing Out . . . Graduation. As a student begins the final year in high school, when does the idea of being a senior strike home? Being a senior is realized at different times during the school year. Jane Filbin said, 1 began to realize it when 1 started filling out college applications. Being a senior is anticipating victory in Field Day, retaking ACT ' s and SAT ' s, deciding where to go to by Jennifer Smith college, and facing all the pres- sures that the final year in high school brings. Being a senior is the excitement of winning Field Day, the secure feeling of being the top man on the totem pole, and the conflicting emotions of leaving friends and family for a whole new way of life.

You guessed it . . . typing college applications. Ahh yes, it is the moment of truth when seniors must reflect upon their last four years. act ' s and SAT ' s, Achievements, passable grade point averages . . . These words and more become a standard part of every college-bound senior ' s vocabulary. Applications may also include teacher recommenda- tions, interviews, and the dreaded essays. Time is of the essence to every senior. Between socializing and shop- ping, the average senior has very little time for such trivial paperwork as applications. With mom ' s help, how- ever, students somehow manage to complete the necessary data by deadline. This goes without saying 84 SENIORS by M- Dunn and C. Lamarche that Federal Express does a boom- ing business around deadline time. For those seniors who have no idea what ' s going on, counselors, deans and teachers are all willing to aid the flailing senior. Jeanette Behm in the career center can also help to guide a lost soul in the right direction. Along with the paperwork, a number of seniors take to the road each year as part of the application process. A college visit enables the student to get a real feel for the school as well as a look at the social life, opposite sex factor, and of course, the state of the academia.

Other favorite haunts included Burger King, local sandwich shops such as Richard and Reis or Marty ' s Cookie Company, and students ' own homes. In outpolling Burger King by a 7- 3 margin, some McDonald ' s backers expressed their sentiments in clear, blunt terms. I like McDonald ' s because Burger King ' s food is dis- gusting, said senior Jenny Smith. I like McDonald ' s for its Chicken McNuggets and Burger King for its double-cheeseburgers — I don ' t know, I guess I ' d have to say (I prefer) Burger King, was senior Paul May ' s less decisive comment. Reasons for choosing a particular place to go to eat included types of by L, Ament and S. Dixon food, the price, the convenience of reaching it, and the atmo- sphere. Favorite foods included Chicken McNuggets, double - cheeseburgers, shakes, and the traditional burger and fries. Amusing experiences while out to lunch included running out of gas and stealing the Snoopy signs displayed at McDonald ' s. When asked if they prefer eating out to eating at Seaholm, the unanimous response was Yes, and the reasons included the food and the chance to get out of school for an hour.

As the roar of their untuned engines ripped through the city, the skeletons of these huge beasts shimmered in the moonlight. These monsters are called war wagons and definitely belong to Seaholm tradition. The only major step required in the life of the wagon is to find a group of people to contribute suffi- cient funding toward the purchase. Not just any car will do, though. The top must be easily pliable and ample rust must be present to paint over. by P Newton and B Matz The crews then spend about two weeks bonding together to fight the other classes. Less extreme than the flash and flourish of the wagons, many students also enjoy the conve- nience of their own cars. These chariots are designed to last longer and look cleaner.

A sewing bee? A bridge club? No! It is Webster ' s New World Dictionary ' s definition of a party . Tfiis ancient form of entertain- ment is definitely the highlight of senior night life, admits senior Anne Hess. More commonly referred to as bashes, parties occur every Fri- day and Saturday night. It is inter- esting to note, however, that party pooper is also defined in the dictionary. Denoted as slang, the dictionary defines a party pooper as a spoil sport, especially one who is too tired or lethargic to participate in the fun or a party. According to by Karen Reynolds senior Bruce Crawford, party poopers do not exist at senior parties! Theme parties seem to be the most liked by seniors, according to senior Alexa Irwin. The hat party has been the best so far! she exclaimed. The hats varied from lampshades to football hel- mets. Beach parties or Florida parties seem to dominate senior night life — especially around spring break. Seniors will make any excuse to have a party, said senior Burt Engel.

In the 80 ' s, there are just girls in mini- skirts and mods . Styles have changed in clothing, and just as much in hair. Crew cuts are scarce among the mohawks and the shaved designs. Most students who wear their hair in unique styles do it to fit their personalities — not because it ' s the in thing as senior Susan Miller asserted, It ' s not proving you have guts or that you don ' t care. Hair fits the person, not the time. Everyone isn ' t going to be running around with my hairstyle. Not many people are going to follow Bobby Jason ' s example, either; he shaved a 2 high smiley face just above the nape of his neck. 92 SENIORS by C. Ciccone and C. Raymond So from whom are these people getting their ideas? The more common hairstyles come close to Madonna and the mod scene from England. But senior Paul Newton, who has perfected not the Sid Vicious, but the Jack Wagner look for 1985, said this about the changing styles, Today ' s hairstyles have become so diverse and changing that it has become a challenge to keep up, Whether a person has a hair- style for a personal reason or because it ' s the in thing, the styles are changing fast.

Through the years, the annual Senior Trip has become a definite tradition. But why has this become a tradition? Well, according to Colleen Roberts, it ' s because seniors love to be seniors and spring break is a great time to celebrate it. Although there may be a common reason for going on a Senior Trip, the actual destinations 96 SENIORS by S. Cooper and A. Trees vary. The most popular spot for those seniors seeking non-stop fun is Fort Lauderdale, where fun is found cheap. Yet, not everyone goes there. In fact, many seniors this year sought their fun out of the country. For instance, Ann Hough ' s destination was Acapul- CO, Mexico where she and her friends planned two luxurious weeks. Other foreign attractions included the Bahamas and the Swiss Alps. Overall, according to senior Jennifer McHugh, Senior trips represent a time when seniors are independent enough to go on a trip with their friends and . . . live it up!

Bands Show Style Being in the limelight is a dream many wish for, and band members Scott Hamilton of E-N-Z and Matt Washburn of Alien Nation have gained the chance to fulfill this dream. Members of these two bands have different sounds, yet both have similar views. The band Alien Na- tion likes to create its own music, but Washburn says that when he was younger he was influenced by Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland, Ray Sca- bies, and Neil Pert. E-N-Z plays some of their own music, but they primarily sing songs by U2 and INXS. Washburn has been playing the drums for seven years and is striving for a career in the music field. His by A McKinlay and R. Wetstein fj career took off when Archer l ' . ' 1 Records signed his band to a ' ' ' recording contract this year and produced the band ' s first album entitled Anhedonia. He said he would like to stay with Alien Nation because they could help him reach his career goal. Hamilton, on the other hand, has been playing the drums for one and a half years. He said he is not looking for a career in music and added, Being in the music business is too risky. Both students have made a good start at their individual goals as musicians.

What most seniors don ' t re- member are the Field Day firsts that came with the Class of 1986. These included winning 3 floorshows, 4 shuttle relays, 4 class songs and losing the girls Tug-o-War all 4 years. And whether good or bad, the ' 86 Seniors did it in style. Doctors, firemen, baseball players, and matadors! What do all these occupations have in common? They were the Field Day themes of the Class of 1986. And along with these Field Days came lots of memories which the Senior Class will never forget. Being involved with Field Day was so much fun. I met so many people because of it, asserted Jon Teachman. Paul Danielson recalled, This unique event always brought our class together and that ' s what Field Day is all about.

The green blades of grass peek through the snow revealing the last signs of winter. As you ' re gazing out the window during third hour Physics class , you get a sudden urge to get out of school — an impulse to escape the inner confines of high school. Not for a long time, just long enough to eat lunch in the park or maybe catch a short snooze in the courtyard. If you have ever experienced any of these feelings, then you can consider yourself a victim of the contagious Senioritis! Some seniors catch it early in the year, some not until June, but for the majority it becomes more contagious with the change of the semesters in January. All applica- tions are in, finals are finished, and only nine weeks until the long awaited Spring Break! What exactly is Senioritis? The uncontrollable desire to forget my monotonous school- work and escape to Birmingham to do a little shopping, expressed Maureen Dunn. Others feel that it ' s their need to be free and they expose their syndromes of lazi- ness, procrastination, a nd irre- sponsibility. In whatever way they express their Senioritis, seniors will agree that June 15, 1986 is never close enough.

Years ago, it was rare to see a male with an earring, and if you did he was considered different and out of it. Now, having an earring is widely ac- cepted. Showing that there is no age restriction to males with earrings, there are two teachers here at Seaholm with earrings. Chemistry teacher Ernie Cooper and a new teacher this year, Jerry Wardach, each have a pierced ear. Mr. Wardach decided to pierce his ear when a couple of years ago 1 saw a guy with an earring, my girl- friend thought it would be sexy, and I wanted to be a little different — so I got one. A controversy has risen about males with earrings. This con- cerns the label attached to them depending upon whether they have their left ear pierced or their right ear. Boys with their right ear pierced supposedly have ques- tionable lifestyles or morals. And no one wants to be labelled questionable, now do they? Guys with their left ear pierced are considered the cool ones. The whole issue doesn ' t phase junior Christian Thompson too much, as he asserted, There are only a small handful of guys with their right ear pierced, but it shouldn ' t matter which ear you put it in as long as it ' s cool and you know it. Bearing his symbol of coolness, Chris- tian Thompson indicates by his facial expression his indifference toward the attention aroused by his earring. photo by K.

Up and down every hallway, in the library, in the Commons, and wandering around outside. They are the Seaholm hall monitors. Convinced the students are up to no good, the monitors watch and wait for a student out of a classroom during class to intru- sively inquire, Where is your pass? To a student a pass in no way defines the validity or impor- tance of his journey through the halls, with or without a destina- tion. But the absence of a pass requires a lengthy true sounding explanation, or invites a detention which is no problem since every hall monitor comes complete with a stack of detention forms. A flaw in the system is found when a student is in the halls without a pass, but with a legiti- mate reason. This occurs when a student forgets to get a pass, a teacher forgets to write one out, or they both decide a pass isn ' t necessary if they hurry up. Those are the times a monitor will inevitably be just around the corner. If that is the case, some may slip by without a confronta- tion. A bad reputation causes suspicion and if the suspected offender is out of speaking range, yelling works but also breaks the quiet the monitors are there to maintain. Hall monitors might describe their job as making sure every student is in the right place . This obviously creates a conflict of definition. Most students ' idea of the right place isn ' t even near a school!

In the 50 ' s it was saddle shoes; the 60 ' s gave us Go-Go boots; and platforms dominated the 70 ' s. This year Recboks outnumber- ed any other shoe by far. But why were Reeboks so popular? Junior Tom Freydl attributed their popu- larity to the fact that, Fads catch on quickly in Birmingham, and when one person got Reeboks, the rest of Seaholm did too. Sophomore Reeboks owner Erin Netzloff feels that Reeboks were worn by so many people because of their versatility. Reeboks can be worn with almost anything, said Erin. People can wear them with skirts or with jeans. The sneakers are so versatile that actress Cybil Shepard wore or- ange hightop Reeboks with a black velvet dress to the Acad- emy Awards this year. Red hightop, pink aerobic, gray tennis . . . with so many styles and colors, how was a person to choose his her Reeboks? White hightops and aerobic shoes seemed to be the number one choice of Seaholm Reebok own- ers. But among these styles were sprinkled various other styles and colors. And just what was the price of being in style? Reeboks ranged in price from thirty-four to fifty-two dollars, depending on the style and place of purchase. 1 paid forty dollars for mine, said Eric Further, and 1 would be willing to pay more. With every fad comes the question of how long it will remain in style. Freshman Susie Court- ney predicted that Reeboks will be around for awhile. Reeboks will be like Tretorns, Courtney philosophized. They ' ll never re- ally go out of style. Who knows? Someday our children may be wearing Reeboks. At the end of an exhausting day, junior Peter Landgraii kicks back and rests his Reeboks before his faithful shoes carry him on the trek home. photo by K.

But, for many Seaholm teen- agers, the biggest addition to the world of driving was getting their own drivers ' licenses. Only sixteen year olds could explain the Party Animal feel- ing that swept over them when they got their licenses. There were no more wasted dates. For example, going to see movies like Porkys and pretending not to understand anything that is going on because mom and dad arc sitting right next to you and your date would never happen again. Sixteen year olds learned to join the great American pastime of begging for the family car on Friday and Saturday nights. This allowed you to (at least) enjoy a decent comedy with your date, or to drive yourself to the major bash looking suave instead of having mom drop you off. To most people, this family car oks like a station wagon or some other klunker, but to a newly licensed teenager it is the fastest car in the world and Woodward Avenue is the Indy 500 Race Track. It is a great feeling to get behind the wheel with a full tank of gas, said junior Derek Stot- tlemeyer. The arrival of the final driver ' s license is the most exciting day of one ' s life. Junior Jeff Blackward put it best, I ' m finally out on the road. How long I stay there remains to be seen.

Through the years we have seen many styles in clothing come and go. One of the newest trends seems to be the appear- ance of paisley patterns on every- thing from shirts to shoelaces. Surprisingly enough, paisley is nothing new at all. Ever since the Persian rug-weavers incorporated the swirling design into their rugs centuries ago, the pattern has come and gone in fashion circles. Almost every Seaholm parent can remember an article of clothing from the last paisley epidemic. This occurred during the sixties, when no self-respecting hippie was without the wild pattern. More and more, paisley is being accepted by the students of Seaholm. When asked her opinion about pa isley, sophomore Jen Schnell said, I like it because it ' s a lively and interesting change from the plaids and checks you see today. Senior Mark Borman disagreed, I think paisley is really ugly and in a year probably no one will wear it. Like it or not, the halls were filled with guys and girls sporting paisley pants, sweaters, and shirts. Although paisley may find its way to the rummage sales of the future, Seaholm ' s fashion-con- scious students will certainly ride this wave in fashion. Junior Lucy Hamilton shows off her stylish paisley skirt while passing in the halls before making her way to her first class. photo by K Morgan Junior Kreig McKee shows his flair for fashion by displaying his paisley shirt while munching popcorn at lunch with senior Chuck Stern. pholo by K Morgan UNDERCLASS 113 Give Me a Light ■CTiRTiiHiaMjaai Some think it ' s a violation of their rights, while others say it ' s a benefit to their health. It was one of the new rules that was reinstituted this year by the Seaholm administration. The smoking policy is based on the evidence strongly indicating the ill effects that smoking can have on a person ' s health. The original policy stated that any student caught using, or in possession of, tobacco on campus would be subject to a suspension. As the year wore on though, there was evidence that the rule was taken lightly. Smokers would be spotted still around campus and the butt-littered tunnel. A number of problems arose concerning this year ' s anti-smok- ing policy. The biggest problem so far was students who went across Lincoln to smoke. They figured that if they couldn ' t smoke on campus, they would go across the street and smoke. Some close residents, however, didn ' t like this so-called alternative. As the com- plaints came in, the administra- tion threatened to close campus for everybody. According to a number of students, this smoking problem smoldered in part due to the administration not coming down hard enough upon the offenders of their carefully laid out policy. The feeling of a lot of students when asked about the smoking policy was summed up by junior Judie Levitt. The new policy just tends to make the students want to smoke more when they leave campus. The opinions and views ex- pressed in this layout are not necessarily those of the PIPER staff or Seaholm ' s administration, and they are not intended to support smoking in any way. - Ed.

It ' s just another beginning for the students on their way to their after school job. More often out of necessity than personal choice, many stu- dents every day drudgingly, habit- ually, or happily head for the time-clocks after school to get their hours. Many times these hours put in working at a job interfere with the time needed to do school work. But, junior Missy Hirsch stressed, That just makes you utilize the time you do have more wisely. Once employment turns into a way of life, turning back becomes quite difficult. The weekly pay- checks are essential to fulfill a newly acquired ability to control the funds needed for the necessi- ties of a high school student. Some students get jobs in certain places, like clothing stores, in order to get a discount there. Some join Co-op and work during the afternoon school hours to gain credits. Others get involved in jobs that interest them to gain experience for possible future careers. Re- gardless, the main reason stu- dents work is money! Ringing up another purchase for the gourmet.

It ' s All in a Pay ' s Work Many students think that the dean ' s office is just a place to go if you ' re in trouble. It ' s true that the dean ' s offices handle all of the school ' s discipline problems. Up- per School Dean secretary Sally Dikeman joked, We have so many detentions and suspensions that we don ' t have time to do anything else! On a broader scale, the Lower School Dean secretary Betty Elkins explained, Whatever comes up, we deal with it. And it ' s a multitude oi things. The Lower School Office runs the clinic and handle phone calls to parents when students are sick. It ' s the responsibility of the Upper School Office to handle all of the student activities such as Student Con- gress, the spring musical, school dances. Prom, and graduation. But what about the deans themselves? Discipline, of course, is a major concern. Upper School Dean Charlie Scott stated, suspend approximately 25 kids per week, and Schuster probably does another 25. When they aren ' t dealing with attendance paperwork, the deans handle such crises as unlocking the costume room for panicked ac- tors, breaking up food fights, and negating detentions for responsi- ble students. So whether it ' s signing in, signing out, or just passing through, the deans ' offices pro- vide aggravation for some, or an outlet for social interaction for others.

Others hurry to meetings, team practices or other school-related activities. Yet, there is still anoth- er group of students who make routine stops at their lockers and head out to the school bus for the trip home. How do these Seaholm students cope with this daily ritual of taking the bus? Many endure the journey by becoming engulfed in the streams of gossip that flow carelessly through the rear of the bus. All I did was sit down in front of two girls and I learned all about their weekend plans, revealed junior Patty Kowalski. While some find relaxation through conversation, others choose to ponder the day ' s intel- lectual high points by reflecting on their mental notes, or simply studying their algebra. The bus gives me the chance to restore my state of mind, confessed sopho- more Charlie Leto.

Regardless of some students ' dislike of in-school suspensions, they became the newest form of punishment designed to hopefully curtail students ' abuses of school policies. This disciplinary action was served in room E-109. During the day, students had at least two bathroom breaks and a short time to eat their lunches. I just forgot about a detention . . . stated Aimee Cote, after a long day in the suspension room. There were different punish- ments for each case of suspen- sion. If the violations were consid- ered severe, more days were added. 1 think in-school suspension was a good deterrment, because who wants to sit in a room all day and do nothing? stated Mike Rafferty.

To some, just the decision about what to wear to school in the morning is a crisis, but for most students the main anxiety producers are the dreaded SAT and ACT tests. As if it weren ' t bad enough that the brain will be taxed beyond repair, one must also give up a Saturday (and the Friday night before) in order to be subjected to such torture. The SAT, or Scholastic Apti- tude Test, is a measure of your aptitude or ability to obtain higher knowledge while the ACT or American College Test is a mea- sure of already learned facts and figures. Some ways to possibly help diminish the stress arc available. There are books at the library and also classes aimed at improving knowledge and test scores. There are conflicting opinions about the validity and usefulness of both tests as a standard for college entrance. Some schools require both tests while some only require one or the other. Junior Sarah York feels that The tests are beneficial to take because they give colleges something else to look at besides a student ' s grades. The best advice to reduce stress is to have the faith that others have survived, and plan in advance to get the help you need so that you can take both tests with confidence and have a mini- mum of nausea, nail-biting, hair pulling and brain damage.

After viewing the magazine, television, and bill- board advertisements with the gorgeous babes in their eeny- weeny bikinis, can you blame them? Every girl ' s dream is to be slim and in order to achieve this It takes work, that ' s right . . . dieting! There are many different ways to approach dieting. Eating the four basic food groups with no snacks in between. Following such diets as Weight Watchers, Jane Fonda ' s, or Scarsdale ' s. And the non-eating method. All appear logical with the exception of the starvation method. But for some, not eating is the only way to shed pounds, and fast. I have only three weeks to lose weight, said Junior Wendy Broughton, And those prepared diets just take too long. It is easy to spot a dieter in Seaholm. Most dieters sit in the lunch room sipping diet Cokes, eating salads, or nibbling on rabbit vegetables. David Van- meter comments, I hardly ever meet a girl who ' s not on a diet. Even girls who are too thin think they are overweight. Whether you are skinny or overweight, dieting is the new fad. But unfortunately, it is not as easy to lose weight as it is to buy a pair of Guess jeans. A lot of desires and hunger pains are involved, but the result is definite- ly worth it. So next time you grab for those cupcakes, candy bars, and chocolate-chip cookies, re- member what ' s at stake and what might appear in that string bikini on vacation.

The obnoxious droning of the head- ache-inducing fire drill buzzer resonates through the hall. Teachers and students wonder if it ' s for real this time as they wander down the hall trying their hardest to appear frantic. The main concern is whether they ' ll have time to grab their coats, or if they ' ll have to rough it. In recent years, the number of false alarms has been reduced, only to be replaced by real alarms being set off by fires in trash cans and lockers. Although fire drills are usually a welcome escape from class, oftentimes students wonder if standing coatless in sub-zero weather is really worth the prac- tice. I think it ' s stupid unless there ' s a real fire, reasoned Michele Vander Brug.

Together they faced life ' s tragedies and triumphs, and whether laughing or crying, a friend understands. Julie Rybicki made this compari- son: Staying best friends for years is a lot like getting married. You need to respect, trust, and commu- nicate with your friend. In friendships, as in the best marriages, there are arguments. What happens to the bond? True buddies are said to always be together. Megan Peterson and I have been close friends for years. Sure we argue, but somehow when we need each other we ' re always there! Erin Netzloff proudly re- sponded.

But for junior Susan Hayes it ' s an iguana. Susan became interested in the unusual at the age of fifteen. Susan and her boyfriend were at the Tropical Fish Pond when she saw this unusual lizard staring at her. The next minute she was walking out of the store with a $40 iguana. When her mother saw it, Susan revealed, She almost had a heart attack. My mother said, ' No way! ' but I was too attached. The iguana, a female, is 11 inches and will grow up to five feet. Susan ' s not too sure what she ' s going to do when the iguana gets too big to keep. She says she ' s just going to go day by day, and sell it back to the Tropical Fish Pond if she has to. Why on earth would anyone pick an iguana for a pet? Susan said, Because I thought it would be fun and unusual. She feeds it dog food now because it is only 1 1 months old. But when it becomes two years old, she is going to start to feed it live mice. She keeps the iguana in a large aquarium in her room. Just to show that Susan has unusual interests she named her unique pet Petunia. This might seem unusual to some people, but to Susan Hayes, it ' s just part of her normal life.

There are teachers at Seaholm that have unique, special interests. Two of them are Dave Eddy, who was a U of M cheerleader during his four years of college, and Derrick Fries, who has written two books on sailing, and was involved in the NASA Teacher In Space Program. Eddy, who teaches math and computers, graduated from Groves High School and was awarded a schol- arship for diving to attend the University of Michigan. During the 1974-75 year at U of M, Eddy was persuaded by friends to start cheerleading. Being a diver really helped in the cheerleading because they both involve arcobatics in a way, Eddy said. Through cheerleading, Eddy was able to attend the Orange bowl in ' 75 against Oklahoma, and both Rose Bowls in ' 77 and ' 78 against Southern California and Washing- ton, respectively. In the future, Eddy would like to go into counseling. His advice to students is to prepare yourselves in the best possible way by LibbiG Wilson to satisfy your needs in the future. Mr. Fries, who is a Special Education teacher, started crewing on his father ' s sailboat when he was 5. By the time he graduated from MSU in 1975, Fries had captured the Collegiate All American title in sailing. He went on to capture six world championships and thirteen National Championships. He has also been the sailing director at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club for the past five summers and has written two books on sail- Furrher your education OS much OS possible . . . once you hove your education, nobody con toke it owoy from you. - Derrick Fries ing. In November of ' 84, Fries saw an article in the Oak- land Press about the Teach- er In Space Program. I wrote to NASA and got an application which was about 13 essay questions that had to be answered and which took about 70 hours to complete, commented Fries of how he became involved in the competition. Fries, one of 113 finalists, went down to Florida for Space Ambassador seminars where he met the crew of the shuttle. I felt a personal loss when the tragedy occured. Fries feels that students should go as far as possible to reach their goals and to be happy in life. Roger Dunckel — Social Studies Dave Eddy — Math Ellen Fleming — Home Ec.

Imagine this . . . you ' re a new teacher standing in front of an English class of strangers at 7:40 a.m. Thirty pairs of eyes are looking everywhere except at you. Some students are sleeping, some are gazing aimlessly out the window, and others are facing the back wall with only their backs visible. As the first words barely squeak out of your mouth, these preoccu- pied adolescents slowly wake up, turn around, and place an illuminating stare on you as if they ' ve never seen a teacher before. You ' re a foreigner, an outsider, a stranger! Trying to get the attention of a class full of uninterested high school students is a bold challenge even for the most experienced instructor. Nevertheless, many of the new teachers at Seaholm met this challenge with undoubted success by presenting to their classes fresh ideas, new dimensions, and stimulating techniques. Whether straight out of college or trans- ferred from a previous school, all the new teachers have to deal with the attitudes and concepts of our students, along with their by Heather Burch fellow staff members. Junior Alan Nealley, a student in John Prisciandaro ' s pre-engineering drafting class, states that his teacher brings new depth to the class because of his wide knowledge and experience in the trade. Alan also pointed ou t, Mr. Prisciandaro went to Seaholm when he was in high school and this helps him relate to the expectations that Bir- mingham students have of their teachers. A new counselor in our building, recently from Berkshire Middle School, is Judith Kalter. She believes that being new to Seaholm is advantageous because of the numerous course selec- tions which create a variety of electives available. Mrs. Kalter added, Seaholm has given me the opportunity to meet with a large spectrum of the school ' s population and also to work more with teachers. The majority of Seaholm ' s students realize the difficulty in approaching a class full of strangers and give their new teachers credit for their bravery and hard work. My first day in this building was thrilling. I ' m honored to teach here and be o port of the Seaholm faculty. -Linda Perronek Michael O ' Donnell — Social Studies Carl Pendracki — Phys. Ed.

(The Angotts own Farm Maid and the Wilsons owned Wilson Dairy Com- pany). When Angott, who ma- jored in philosophy, first met Wilson, who majored in languages, she inquired as to whether or not Wilson had encountered the same hard teachers and profs as had Angott. Wilson ' s re- sponse was, No, I ma- jored in Floats. And thus, the rivalry which so greatly amuses their students be- gan. VS.

A: The outlandish excuses students give for tardiness and incomplete home- work. When a teacher is feeling slightly down or blue, all that ' s needed to bring a smile to his face is a student with some outrageous excuse as to why the day ' s homework is not in the student ' s possession. From the beginning of time stu- dents have offered as ex- cuses for tardiness and missing homework a wide range of explanations, some of which are more than humorous. But, stu- dents beware. Don ' t think all teachers are naive. They ' ve heard most of these stories from paper-eating dogs to burning houses and just when you think you ' ve pulled it off, the teacher gets the last laugh. When in desperate need of a good excuse there is always the old standby of the dog ate my paper . But nowadays it seems as though students are becoming more inventive in their story-telling. Math teacher Joe Ponczocha said with a chuckle, The best excuse for missing homework came from by C. Lamarche senior Buffy Martin. Evidently, her car, contain- ing her pre-calculus books, was stolen and naturally she couldn ' t turn in her work. I got a big kick out of that one. Junior Wendy Broughton also gave an amusing excuse to her Algebra II teacher, Sam Morgan. After a basketball game at Farmington, 1 rushed to the bus, explained Broughton, and suddenly we were half way home and I realized my Algebra was still in the Farmington gym. Car trouble seems to be a major cause of legitimate excuses. Senior Kristin Fitzpatrick was late to Kathy Young ' s Spanish class because I locked the keys in my car at Burger King and was stranded there. Next time you walk up to a teacher with a prepared excuse as to why your homework is missing, remember that teachers have heard them all. Better yet, why not break the bad habits of being late for class or not having homework completed on time so that you will never be put in that awkward position of weaving a fool-proof tale that may begin, A funny thing happened to me ...

Cooper Like the students at any normal high school, policies tend to grow and change. Seaholm is no exception. This year, not only did Seaholm have a new eight period day, but students were faced with some addi- tional changes. The whole purpose of the eight period day was to give students an extra hour to choose an elective class, such as art or music. But, it came to mind that not all students would use this extra hour con- structively. So, it was arranged to have the graduation requirements, or the total number of credits a student must earn, increased. For this year ' s seniors the require- ments did not change. But, for the Class of 1987, 21 credits are necessary. For the Classes of 1988 and 1989, 22 credits are required for graduation. This in- includes one more in English, science, and mathematics and a half credit more in social studies. The Classes of 1988 and 1989 are required to take a few added, non-academic courses, so a half credit of physical education has been taken off the list of graduation requirements. Many students had mixed emotions about the change. Todd Morton, a sopho- more, commented, 1 don ' t really like the idea, but . . . there ' s not much anyone can do about it. Wendy Broughton, a junior, had an opposite view, I ' d consider it an advantage ... it would help many more people than it would hurt. It seems that the majority of people are undecided, and are waiting to see how it all turns out. Counselor Don Laatsch summed it up by saying, The real effect of the increas- ing graduation requirements won ' t really be felt for another three or four years.

It ' s the same in high school. Every fall when students sign up for classes, the ones they must write down first are the required classes. Those classes are math, gym, social studies, science, and English. But, for the Classes of 1988 and 1989, there was another requirement tacked onto the traditional, academic requirements for graduation: one and a half credits of fine practical arts. This means the student needs V2 credit of fine arts such as ceramics, band, choir, or drama, and V2 credit of practical arts such as business, home economics, or industrial technology. For the last V2 credit, the student can choose from the fine or practical arts. With the increase in requirements, there is an expectation of positive and negative responses. On one side, sopho- more Jon Burleigh said, I feel it ' s good for some because they will take classes they wouldn ' t normally take. But, sophomore Debbie Evangelista added I don ' t agree with it. It ' s pointless because we all had to take it in junior high, so we shouldn ' t be forced to take it again. Students also worry about having the time for a new requirement. As sophomore Tom Dawson explained, It may take time away from those who want to take some non-academic classes. Drama teacher Paul Colbrooke remarked that the require- ment isn ' t so demanding. It depends on the kid. Some can absorb the weight. Students and faculty share some opinions on the requirement and they clash on others, but the one they all agree upon is that six requirements is enough for now! ACADEMICS 145 These classes teach you survival in the world outside of school. -Chantel Kovarik Add One More to the List! Enrollment grows bv C Schumaker and H Burch The explosion of student enroll- ment in Home Economics and in Industrial Technology resem- bled the population growth of an underdeveloped country. Because the number of students enrolled in these classes tripled over the past year, a new teacher, Karen Jacobson, was added to the department to work with Ellen Fleming in Home Economics. The cause of this sharp increase was attributed, in part, to the new requirement that the Class of 1988 and classes that follow must gain one and one half credits in these courses. Home Economics is a course designed to prepare both boys and girls for the future by teaching the cooking and sewing skills. Industrial technology includes such subjects as photography, graphic arts and industrial drafting. The school board believes that the students should have skills for a living. Home Economics and Industrial Technolo- gy include teaching some of these skills, explained Fleming. As part of their grade in the foods classes, students prepared and served a Thanksgiving Dinner to senior citizens. Not only are we learning how to cook but we ' re having fun and helping others at the same time, stated freshman Kristina Komives, a student of Jacobson ' s food class. Some other classes offered by Home Economics were Single Survival, Basic Interior Design, and Clothing and Fashion Design. Taking these classes are a real worthwhile experience, because once I ' m out on my own I ' ll know everything from cooking to managing my money, said senior Chantel Kovarik.

Newton Beginning with the freshman and sophomore classes, students have their choice of a variety of practical arts courses to com- plete the new minimum IV2 credit require- ments. Of the many practical arts classes from which students can choose, typing is most popular and word processing is the least popular. Until recently, students who wanted to take a health course had to ride a bus to Groves, as Seaholm did not offer health classes, but this is no longer the case. Next year, all students must take at least a half credit of health during either junior or senior year. Junior Julie Adkins feels the health classes will be successful because students will not have to commute. A lot of time is wasted going from Seaholm to Groves, and the fact that the hours are shortened doesn ' t help. Having the class at Seaholm will give the student more time to learn, she explained. After polling several students, it was found that most felt the new requirements would be beneficial. On the other hand, junior Jeff Jones said, The student should have more freedom in choosing classes. Next year, Seaholm students will be dealing with the new practical arts require- ments. Although some students do not agree with the new standards, they must keep in mind that the requirements are intended to benefit all students. If these students apply themselves, and take the task of utilizing these new course require- ments, then Seaholm ' s excellence in edu- cation will continue. ACADEMICS 149 ' ' Discipline and responsibility are the keys to independent study. -Kathy Morgan Seaholm Students Fend For Themselves by K. Morgan and C Lamarche How would you like to have a class without a teacher and be able to make your own lesson plan? Well, independent study courses are designed to allow students to work individually at their own pace. Seaholm offers independent study in various areas of English, industrial arts, foreign languages, fine arts, and piano, to name a few. Counselor Don Laatsch feels, Independent study is useful in a counsel- ing situation because it gives the exception- al student a chance to go beyond. Each independent study student has an advisor who helps them when needed and who is responsible for giving the student a grade. According to junior Jeff Jones, whose independent study was piano, An advisor is the key to success in this type of course because he she sets guidelines for you and helps keep you on the right track. Of the students who took independent study this year at Seaholm, each had a :i ' - Paul Donar, chief photographer on the yearbook staff, uses his independent study to sort pictures and meet deadlines.

Some, like senior Katy Andreae, needed the extra time for another course that they were taking. I really need the extra hour for yearbook without losing a credit, said Katy, so an independent study has helped me to budget my time. Others, like senior Kathy Morgan, took independent study because of outside interests. Kathy liked the freedom and responsibility that accompanied her pho- tography independent study course. I am very interested in photography and I wanted to develop more skills without the pressures of a classroom, said Kathy. Although senior Elissa Sard jokingly calls independent study a study hall for credit, she, too, realizes the value of the course. I ' ve really gotten a lot from my independent study, said Sard, and I would recommend it to any student who wants to go beyond what the classroom offers. 150 INDEPENDENT STUDY During independent study yearbook, senior staffers Elissa Sard and Liz Krebs discuss important yearbook matters over the phone.

There ' s more freedom in Flex; you get to do more of your own thing, said senior Tiffany Newgeon. Flex offers a chance to meet students from all grades and learn from them, attested senior Lori Mattutat. All of these individuals were referring to Flexible Scheduling, a twenty-year-old program founded by Dr. John Blackwell Smith, a former superintendent. Flex, combining English and history, meets first through third periods. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are core days, which consist of a movie or a lecture, followed by a discussion group. Tuesday and Thursday are elective days. Flex studied colonial America this year, so the electivcs offered included U.S. Consti- tution and Colonial Women, emphasizing this American unit. Flex students are also required to take a writing group each year, and freshmen must take speech class. Flex also offers special activities such as the Chinese visitors who spoke in Flex this October. Flexmas is another Flex tradition, where students give a talent show and a cake auction, with proceeds used to fund Flex activities. Enrollment this year rose to 243 students, and two new teachers, Peter Shaheen and Elizabeth Heckenhauer, were hired. Typical Flex enthusiasm is shown by Mattutat who said, I think Flex is great and I would never switch back to normal classes.

O ' Malley What attracts students each year to lab sciences? Most students continue into their junior and senior year after completing the I.P.S., biology, and chemis- try classes. In both Biology I and II, the ideas and concepts are easy to relate to because they occur in every day life, said senior Katy Hennessy. Junior Maureen McLaughlin added, Physics is a good college prep course and has really disciplined me. Lab sciences also give students a break from the day ' s lectures and composi- tion writing. Scott Milius. a senior chemistry stu- dent, commented, ... by seeing why something happens, I could learn and understand it a lot faster than reading it out of a book or having a teacher explain it. Plus, the microscopes, acids, chemicals. and lasers are not available in other academic courses. Second year biology students spent a uniquely educational day at Bald Mountain Park ' s Trout Creek. They conducted water tests, and took data which they used for future projects. Meanwhile, anatomy and physiology students anxiously anticipated the disec- tion of cats. This is a worthwhile project because you can relate a lot of it to the human body and its functions, explained seniors Tom Fiscella and Rocky Roland. They further added, If you ' re really interested in science, this course is good because it ties the early sciences together. Lab sciences are unique because they each have individual characteristics, but they all get the student directly involved with their subject. In Jim Bedor s second hour physics class, seniors Kiersten Bell and Amy Tikkanen check the inertial and gravitational masses on several objects.

York TO take a study hall or not to take a study hall; that was a major decision faced by many stu- dents this year. With shortened class periods, teach- ers still tried to handle the same amount of work that they did last year. Counselor Ken Ish said, Kids took on more than they were willing to handle and many ended up dropping classes and taking study halls. Study halls were offered as breaks from the academic load that some students carried. Freshman Molly Abramson said, It gave me a time to relax or sometimes to get passes to the library. Another benefit of study halls is the fact that students had designated homework time. Lowerclassmen, who were required to show up for study halls, were issued detentions for skipping. A study hall allowed participation in the Complementary Education Activity. This activity, called C. E. A., enabled students to obtain help during their free hours. Juniors and seniors weren ' t required to show up for their study halls. Open hours, as upper study halls are called, were used for a variety of things. Jennifer York, a senior, approved of the idea of open study halls. Upperclassmen can handle the responsibility and indepen- dence better, she said. The atmosphere of study halls has improved. In previous years, teachers sometimes made talkative students do pushups. With the C. E. A. program, students benefitted more and more out of their study halls than ever before. In any case, study halls became increasingly more important and were well worth the student ' s time. Senior Julie Dietz starts her homework eighth hour in the library.

ACADEMICS 157 ' ' Paragon is a good experience for k:ids to explore new h Orizons! ' ' -Ramsey Alsarraf Accelerated Students Go For the Top by M, Wester and L, Wilson For some Seaholm students, the normal academic classes don ' t satisfy their accelerated needs. Being academically gifted allows some students to enroll in more demanding courses and programs. Advanced Place- ment (A. P.) courses and Paragon are available for these students. Seniors, and a few juniors, are able to enroll in A. P. courses with a recommenda- tion from a previous teacher. English, Modern European History, Biology, Chem- istry, and Physics II, accelerated calculus, French V, Spanish V, and American History are the A. P. courses offered for students. After completing an A. P. course, a student can take an A. P. test to receive college credit. A. P. English student Stacey Springer strongly supports the A. P. courses. Even if you decide not to take the test, the classes are challenging and worthwhile! she explained. Other students that have an advanced study interest and a high grade point can enroll in Paragon, directed by Carol Wilson and Debbie Loupee. Paragon member Ramsey Alsarraf voiced his opinion on the program, Paragon is a good experience for kids to explore new horizons! Not only does Paragon help prepare a student for the future, but it also impresses college offi- cials. Students in grades nine through twelve are also able to work on projects such as the Quiz Bowl, Science Olympiad, and this year ' s cable T.V. show Mind Your Language! Havi ng the academic gifts and being able to enroll in A. P. courses or Paragon allows a student to get a head start on the future. In hopes ol aiding a few lost souls in A.F.

Washburn Getting paid for earning high school credit? It seems incredi- ble, but true. Co-op and SEO- VEC are two different educa- tional programs that enable a student to explore future career possibilities. Co-op students not only receive on the job training, but a paycheck for their work. Co-op, or Cooperative Education, is a work experience program open to all seniors which may help them to choose a career major. These students earn a total of two credits and receive minimum wage. Some businesses which participate in the Co-op program are Jacobsons, The Varsity Shop, Machus Red Fox, and The Campus Shop. A benefit of Co-op for some students is that it may lead to permanent work after graduation. The Southeast Oakland Vocational Education Center, or SEOVEC, is another valuable work experience program offered to mainly juniors and seniors. SEOVEC serves a total of twenty-three schools, and offers twenty-six different fields. Students who participate in the SEOVEC program gain three credits per year. Students may take SEOVEC to help them learn more about a possible career major. Senior Gabi Dubois said, SEOVEC is a fun, worthwhile experience, and I ' ve learned a lot. When asked what she ' d gained from the program, senior Tina Schumaker said, I ' ve learned about responsibilities. The training SEOVEC gives a student enables them to go directly into job placement after graduation. Gabi Dubois added, They don ' t discriminate against you, or classify you.

Why not break a strict academic schedule with an elective? Apparently, a number of students decided to do just that. Foreign languages, especially, benefited from the additional class period, as 62% of Seaholm ' s stu- dents enrolled in not only the basic French and Spanish courses, but in German and Latin classes as well. A survey of students revealed that taking a foreign language was beneficial and interesting. Jennifer Jacoby. a French 11 student noted. 1 enjoy taking a foreign language. 1 not only learn the language, but I learn about the culture, which is very interesting because it is so different from ours. Even though a language course is an elective, it nevertheless involves consider- able preparation and study. To learn the language, a lot of self discipline and patience is necessary, said Kelly Cronin, a Spanish II student. Many colleges now require a language for entrance, so the increasing trend of student interest and participation will, undoubtedly, continue. Next year. Sea- holm plans to offer a course to learn the Japanese language - further evidence that taking a second language was not just a passing fad. Through knowledge of a foreign language, one is able to understand some of the workings of foreign minds. The ability to communicate with people in foreign countries brings us closer to under- standing their mores. The means of travel have helped us realize that we can no longer be content to speak just one language. ■ , !}rst hour.

Mylod and D- Engle When most people think of communicating, they think of people informing others about the facts and opi- nions concerning a variety of subjects. The students in the communications depart- ment at Seaholm are doing just that, except they express themselves on film, in print, and through the airwaves. At Sea- holm there is a T.V. studio, radio station, newspaper and a yearbook. The first word which comes to the average student ' s mind when describing these classes is blowoff, but this stereo- type could not be f urther from the truth. The amount of time spent after school working for these classes is immense. Many students taking these media feel their interests could well be their future careers. Libbie Wilson of the yearbook staff said she would like to be a layout editor of a magazine, or something simi- lar. The field of journalism is not the only area where this applies. T.V. production student David Albaum wants to major in communications at college. These classes are not only for the students who wish to make careers out of them, but for those who desire to improve their communication skills. Bill Solomen- son, a broadcasting student, said, I think that this class gives a strong background in the communications field and that it could be useful when speaking to large groups of people. In any case, communicating will be an important part of one ' s future li fe, and without these proper skills it will be difficult to succeed. Therefore, it can be inferred that communication classes represent the first rung on the ladder to success. While in Gino Petri s third period journalism class.

However, the similarity ended when the team suffered 8 losses - twice as many as in 1984. The increase in losses was the result of not accomplishing team goals. Sopho- more Brian Sard had his own opinion about why Seaholm ' s goals didn ' t come easy. Our first goal was to score, but that itself seemed to be a task. It seemed the more we shot, the less we scored. In addition, many of Seaholm ' s defeats were down to the last second, including losses to Cranbrook, 4-3, Rochester, 2-1 , d in the state playoffs, to Lahser, 2-1, ' after having led most of the game. Nevertheless, the team ' s strong points outweighed their weak points. Two of the Maple ' s biggest victories were over Groves and Southfield. As senior captain J.J. Cromer explained, We beat Groves when they were 7th in the state and we beat Southfield when they threatened to knock us out of the S.M.A According to several team members, team effort and unity produced their 13 wins. When the road was uphill, they pushed each other whether they were winning or losing. The season began with an upsetting 2-0 loss to West Bloomfield, but that didn ' t stop the Kolodchin Killers from running over Ferndale, 6-0, Flint, 6-0, and in a season finale, Berkley, 10-2. Their efforts produced other achieve- ments as seniors Alex O ' Kulich and Rich Bayman made All-Area 1st and 2nd teams, respectively, and senior Craig Ciccone was granted Honorable Men- tion. Although Seaholm didn ' t win the S.M.A. title, they still remained positive about the season. After all, remarked senior Barrett Tripp, we didn ' t always have the goals, but we always had our friendship. Kimball players can do nothing but watch as senior striker Rich Bayman demonstrates the skill that earned him a spot on the All-Area team. photo by Doug Engle .i tVua I Sf QS upu( , ' Ij H ' S OpiJ ' n A rnda •5T ■ IjlU ' ' Andgver j ( inn Tl TMM I I r 168 BOYS ' VARSITY SOCCER - - In his last year at Seabolm.

It was a perfect setting for the Boys Junior Varsity Soccer Team to strike into action. Swiftly and expertly, sophomore Jeff Kessier whipped in the winning goal to defeat Troy in one of the team ' s most memorable games of a victorious 12-2-2 season. After the season-opening victory over Troy, the spirited and supportive mem- bers of the JV squad, led by Steve the megaphone Wills, set a standard for other dedicated Varsity fans. The Maple ' s greatest strength was its defensive attitude. Each game, the players worked hard to keep their opponents off the scoreboard. The team ' s only real weakness seemed to be its lack of experience, but all 21 players gained valuable game minutes and improved their ability throughout the year. On every team, there are always a few members who stand out.

Brett Fischer, tri-captain, said, The game against Cranbrook was great ... It was our inspiration to keep on working toward success. With this squad, like in most teams, certain players seemed to stand out from the rest. Tri-captains Brett Fischer, Pat Foley, and Doug Daniels each received by Michelle Weir awards for their top play. Foley received Prepare For Success recognition for Most Valuable Defense, and Daniels earned Most Valuable Offense. In addition, the players who showed extraordinary teamwork and skill were Ron Theis and Matt Brodwall. The overall season record for the freshmen squad was not as shining as coach John Ondusky wished it would be. Nevertheless, he said, Where they lacked in skill they made up for in spirit and heart. He added, Their ability to play against the odds was an accent on the whole team. Many of the players agreed with Coach Ondusky. For instance, Pat Foley remarked, Being a part of a team like ours made all the pain and sweat pay off. So as the bright sun blazed on, this unique team played through thick and thin.

In the case of the 1985 girls varsity basketball season, it did have an impact, and significant it was. Although their final record of 12 wins and 8 losses did not reflect this, each league game was a hard fought battle coming down to the last seconds of the game. Four points separated us from first and fourth place, said Co-Captain Karen Marshall. This slim distinction between first and fourth place vividly indicated the fierce competition in the battle for the SMA title. The team played a solid man-to-man defense and giants Karen Marshall and Kim Roe forced teams to take outside shots which was harder for them (the opponents), said Suzy Beagen. These outside shots allowed Seaholm to take advantage of their fabulous rebounding skills, led by Karen Marshall. Although things did not always run smoothly on the court, the team still had a sense of unity which conquered all else. We were all friends, said Beagen. Su2y and Molly Beagen stand awestruck before Becky Lojek ' s display of aggressiveness and determination. Lojek ' s rebounding technique de- monstrates the team ' s motto. We ' re intense! The girls ' strength and unity as a team was tested several times, especially during the final game in district play against highly-ranked Marian. The girls held their own, gleamed coach Gary Chamberlain. We gave them (our opponents) all they could handle. In their last Seaholm basketball game, seniors Amy Tikkanen and Karen Mar- shall sparked the team to a near upset of the Mustangs. It was our best game of the year, even though we lost, said Tikkenan. Tikkenan ' s phenomenal shooting from outside guaranteed her All-SMA Honorable Mention. Kelly Hayes also received Honorable Mention, while S. Beagen and Marshall received All-SMA honors. Marshall earned a spot on the All-Oakland County team, and the All- Area as well as being named MVP.

Jill Griffiths was the team ' s Most Improved Player and the Sportsmanship Award went to Sue Mueller. Heather Marshall received the Best Offensive Player award. The team remembered two of its most memorable games as being the ones against Andover and Hazel Park. Before the Andover game, sophomore Heather Marshall suggested to new coach Mike Ridley that the people on the bench who didn ' t get much playing time should start. Coach Mike agreed and the game proved to be one of the most enjoyable contests of the year. During the last 30 seconds of the game against Hazel Park, the team found itself winning by a single basket. The Maples had to keep possession of the ball and stall for time, something they had never practiced. The players worked an effec- tive stall and won. The J.V. team adjusted well to Coach Ridley, who made being on the team really fun, according to Julie Jolliffe. He was always optimistic and he believed in us. No one ever got really down when we were behind. Coach Mike said, As the season went along, the girls began to realize the importance of teamwork. Everyone was always fired up. He added, Basketball is a vehicle used in getting along in life. The girls learned physical and mental endurance. We really had a winning season. Does Girls ' J.V.

But what were the members of the Seaholm Freshmen Girls ' Basketball Team doing on the final night of October? They were dressed in costumes of sorts too - the maroon and white uniforms of their school. And they were having fun of sorts, too - battling Ferndale for a top prize. Not candy, but victory. And with time running out, and fans screaming to a frenzy, Shelley Kenner popped in the winning basket to turn the Eagles into pumpkins. Before the season began, Seaholm came close to not even having a fresh- men basketball team, since not enough players came out. Libby Peters had sprained her ankle, so she was out for the season. But a few more players joined the squad, and with a mere seven players on the team, the Maples turned in a surprisingly good record of 12-5. The team itself didn ' t have a captain, and when asked why. Coach Jane Bitner said, Without a captain for the team, I felt it would give the girls more of a chance. As a team, they all worked well together, had lots of team spirit, and support for each other. When asked what she felt her team ' s greatest strength was, Kenner said, It was our ability to work well together. In responding to what she felt the best thing about the team was, the team ' s center, Sarah Madden explained, We had a lot of team support that kept us going during those good and bad times. Talking about the season itself, Becky Burns, post guard, said, It was really fun, I had a great time. Kenner added, it was lots of hard work, but full of fun and excitement. The team ' s leading player was center Sarah Madden. Coach Jane Bitner added, I ' d have to really include the entire team. We needed every girl. The mighty Maple Freshmen Girls Basketball Team may have only had a mere seven players, but with all their enthusiasm, togetherness, dedication, and eagerness to win, they proved that it ' s quality, not quantity that counts. 178 GIRLS ' FRESHMEN BASKETBALL With a valiant effort, freshman Sarah Madden successfully out-jumps her Ferndale opponent and goes on to lead her team to a hard-fought vlcto- j-y photo by Elissa Sard Working an offensive play to perfection.

The August training session began with a slightly different twist. Instead of running through the scenic streets of downtown Birmingham, coaches Tom Kearney and Ron Wheeler packed up all twenty-eight members of the team and took them for a three day stay at Port Frank, Canada. Among the pine trees in this remote hideaway, they just let us run wild, said co-captain Ted Berry. The varied terrain provided an excellent training facility where the runners could fulfill their individual training needs. With a sound basis from the camp, both teams attacked their season with vicious audacity. The boys came out fired up reaming on their first four opponents and expected to achieve excellence. Plagued by injury though, the team fell short of their grand Junior John Marshall passes the one mile mark on his way to a sixth place finish at the Oakland County meet.

It was frustrating because our seven best guys would never run at the same time. One guy would be hurt, then the next guy would be sick. The girls ' season reciprocated that of the boys as they had their doubts early in the season but finished at the top. Coach Kearney said, The best part of the season was watching the girls develop as runners as they went from a lot of question marks to a team that performed excellently. The team ' s amazing 8-1 record was highly attributed to individual motivation and discipline. It was all mental, Manya Borman succinctly stated. We all went for a goal and achieved it; that ' s what kept us going, she added. The fact that there were four new runners on the girls ' team did not hinder the end results. Freshmen Andrea Miller, Susan Conti, and Carrie Leto all received All-SMA honors, along with sophomore Kiersten Brown and senior Debbie Burson. {commuedp i83) The boys were fairly m - «B consistent and held m m together despite the m ' M injuries an d illnesses w COACH RON 1 vl WHEELER 1 1 BOYS ' CROSS COUNTRY OPPONENT SHS OPP Lahser 24-2 Groves 39-21 Berkley 47-16 Southfield 49-15 Troy 18-42 Andover 22-33 Ferndale 40-21 Hazel Park 24-31 Kimball 22-38 CROSS COUNTRY 181 Manya Borman ' s concentration reveals the intensity and sell-discipline needed to be a successful cross country runner.

Andreae and L. Wilson Coach Kearney believed that Bur- son, was by far the strongest runner from the beginning of the season to the end. She placed eighth in the league meet, twelfth in the regional meet, and thirty-second in the state finals. Some runners showed sharp improve- ment in their times. Kiersten Brown dropped a minute off her already good time between the end of last season to the end of this season. Manya Borman dropped six minutes off her time from the beginning to the end of this season. The boys ' team also had their heroes. Ted Berry was the only runner to receive All-SMA honors. Gary Feiten placed third in the league championships, John Marshall fourth, and David Marcinkows- ki placed fifth. These runners showed their ability to come up from behind and excel. The teams had no special rituals such as getting psyched up before a meet by having a dinner together, but they were able to encourage one another to try their best. Even though cross country running is actually an individual sport, as in all team sports, there was much team unity among the members. One good thing about this season, explains Borman, was that there was so much team support. We pushed one another to do our best and reach our goals. In the end, we thanked each other for the encouragement and went our separate ways. This spirit helps toward winning the meets and is what helped both teams place second in the Macomb County Invitational, fourth for the girls in the SMA, and tenth for the boys. Although their record wasn ' t out- standing, the boys had their glory when they beat cross-town rival Groves by a score of 39-21. This helped to get the boys thinking that they could accomplish anything they set their minds to, remarked Coach Wheeler. With the season ' s ending differently than anticipated from the start, both the girls ' and boys ' cross country teams had something to show from their efforts and something of which to be proud. The girls went from h J t a lot of question W team that Wf gj excellent- fc ' m marks to a performed ly.

The golf team came away as champions in the SMA, with an outstanding overall record of 9-2. The team would never have succeeded without our tremendous team effort, explained junior Matt Wester.

And all but two golfers (senior John Driscoll and junior Tom Weddell, who moved) should return for next season. Though champions in the SMA, the boys did have some trouble in their invitationals and tournaments. Espe- cially early in the season we didn ' t always come through for the tourna- ments, informed Coach Wadsten. But junior Tom Weddell added that excel- lence comes with time and experience. And Tom Weddell knows that the experience will be there next year. Reynolds summed up the season best when he said, We are a team that consists of friends, and that ' s the major reason we play well together. We had a good season and a great time doing it!

That may have been the team ' s only weak point as they rolled to another SMA championship, the 13th in a row. Senior co-captain Alexa Irwin remem- bers two really great things about the season. The team had great balance and unity as a whole. On any given day, most anyone could switch positions and the outcome of the match would be exactly the same. This helped the team be less competitive. This year the team was led by freshman Missy Heuston at 1st singles, where she compiled a 20-4 record. Other outstanding performances were turned in by co-captain Jenny York at 4th singles, and Alexa Irwin and Susie Rifkin at 1st doubles, both finishing with 24-3 records. Overall, the team finished with a fine 10-2 record.

Freshman Nancy Murphy cited that the team ' s highest quality was its singu- lar identity. The whole team stuck together as one unit and we did the best we possibly could with the support given from the other members and our friends. Unity becomes a key element in a sport such as tennis, which combines individual effort, as well as team results. Amy Self, a highly improved freshman, commented, The strength of our team lies in our support for one another. In an early season match against Marian High School, the Junior Varsity Girls played their toughest in hopes of overcoming this difficult opponent. De- spite their strong effort, the Maples fell to Marian, 4 to 5. The Girls Junior Varsity Tennis Team consisted of eleven strong players. Freshman Elizabeth Hughes, seeded at the number one singles position, played an excellent season, achieving eight wins. The number two singles position was held by freshman Nancy Murphy. She demonstrated explicit skill in over- coming six opponents. Sophomore Vin- nie Vanevery controlled the third singles position, with a final record of 6-2. Alison Forslund, playing the number four singles position, displayed her strong ability in defeating her toughest oppo- nent from Lahser. This year ' s doubles positions were held by Amy Hentgen, Sara Starkel, Mary Napier, Amy Self, Jill Link, Delynne Vail, and Sarah Loose. These girls all gained the chance to compete with a partner and work together to complete a rewarding season. I feel that tennis was meant to be played with a doubles partner as a social sport, commented Napier.

With the senior members of the SMA championship team gone, the enormous task of repeating last year ' s amazing feat landed in the arms of only a few seasoned players. The extremely over- whelming offensive talents of George Ziegler, Mike Kauth, and Walt Heil held the Maples in close view of a very promising season, while on the defensive angle, All-American Marc Spencer and Scott Tjaden offered a virtually impene- trable brick wall. However, the Maples ' massive tower was no match for the lingering danger of sickness and injury that hurig hauntingly over the football field. Soon even the most experienced players were burdened by the casualty list. One case of mononucleosis, one sprained knee, and one injured hip had taken their toll. The injuries and illnesses took away a great deal of talent. Because of this. even though the team pride and spirit were high, we just couldn ' t get the victories, revealed senior safety George Work. One victory that was regarded as the highlight of the season, however, was the Seaholm Groves game. All players got a chance to participate for the first time in the season and the team unity and pride were highly noticeable. The action started with a 73-yard run into the end zone by Heil. From there, the close battle lasted until the fourth quarter when Matt Hepfer kicked an amazing field goal for a 10-0 lead over the fighting Falcons. Then, the fabulous talents of senior Kauth took over. He intercepted a Groves pass and returned it to the third yard line to lead the Maples to a tremendous 17-0 win. Though the season had more disap- pointments and frustrations than high- lights, the pride and determination of the mighty Maples could not be injured. As center Scott Keough towers over the line of scrimmage, his determination is evident. However the gridders soon fell to Southfield by a final score of 27-14. photo by Pclcr Alaimo 190 BOYS ' VARSITY FOOTBALL tONT ROW J Elvekrog. J. Schwartz. S Weed. R. Slucky. J Mastleld. Uskl. B.

But not so for the Junior Varsity Football Team. In spite of the defeat in the season opener, and the loss of five of their best players to varsity at the beginning of the year, the Junior Varsity Football Team pulled together and won six out of eight remaining games, tying the best J.V. football record in Seaholm ' s history. Most of the J.V. team was worried when varsity pulled up some of our best players, but we learned to play without them, commented linebackers Mike Adelman and Chris Burton. The team ' s ability to work well together was its greatest strength. We were united; without each other ' s strengths we couldn ' t have won, stated Burton. For instance, quarterback Tim Vanas, who was pulled up to varsity for the last game, led the team to their 6-3 record. Ken Webb and Kevin Billington held offense to a minimum and bullied their way into the offensive backfield for numerous sacks while the defensive backfield did an excellent job of keeping the ball on the ground, emphasized Burton. He added, The freshmen that came up after their last game helped the team enormously. The value of the coaches Bob Crowell, Rob Stefanowski. and Jeff Harris, was emphasized by Adelman. They worked us hard and forced us to be disciplined. Without their leadership, knowledge, and determination, we wouldn ' t have gotten anywhere. Coach Stefanowski stressed the team ' s cooperation. The team was easy to coach. They motivated themselves, worked together, and supported each other. They contributed a lot. Award-winning players were Kevin Billington for Most Valuable Lineman, and Peter Mann for Most Improved. When asked to name his most valuable players. Coach Stefanowski replied, Kevin Billington, Tim Vanas, and Rob Marzella were outstanding, but I would have to include the entire team. When the final gun sounded to end the season, it was clear that strong team character and the driving determination to succeed were the key ingredients which propelled the players to their record-tying year. 192 BOYS ' J.V.

Engle The Freshman Football Team was kept alive this year by its never say die spirit. The freshmen, with one shutout and four other strong defensive showings, ended up with a 5-2 mark and one forfeit. One of the players, Lee Black, felt that the team spirit was its most valuable asset. We had a lot of team spirit . . . We held together well. The Maples opened up the season against Troy, and shut them out 27-0. Coach Bill Kendro said, This year ' s team was a young one, and next year ' s J.V. team will definitely be a force. Quarterback Matt Newton went 17 for 30 with 5 interceptions during the season. Outstanding defensive player Scott Mitchell said, 1 credit our defense for quickness and anticipation. During four games this season, the defense held the opponents ' offense to an average of 7.2 points per game. For the whole season, the average was just 10.3 points per game. The leading rusher was Cam Mueller, with 165 yards on the season. Mueller also led the team in points scored with five touchdowns. Other strong players were Lee Black and Bekim Pellumbi. From the season opener, the Maples were mighty, win- ning four straight games. When asked about the season, Pellum- bi said, ' We were really up after our first four games, especially when Groves forfeited. When we lost two in a row, it was really a downer. The two losses were to Kimball and to a Southfield High team which ran all over the Maples, 42-3. Even though the setbacks hurt the squad ' s morale, the players ' spirit kept them alive. Their undying determination and spirit paid off with the season-ending win over Berkley. Being newcomers at this school, and to each other, they had to depend on each other to make the play. The players used time on and off the field to develop closeness and team spirit. Events such as a car wash not only further enhanced the team ' s morale, but gave them a monetary profit as well. Combining skill, team spirit, and closeness, the freshman team came out on top with a successful season and a winning record. 194 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL . FRONT ROW Tony Sheeran, Scott Mitchel.

I: Girls Swim Outside The Dots by Kevin Mylod [would be a fool if I said I did not enjoy coaching a team with such depth, spirit and team unity as this one, admitted Head Coach Dennis Carter. And these three outstanding qualities were the reason why the Maples swam to an 11-1 record, an S.M.A. champion- ship title, and fifth place at the State meet. The Maples retained leadership, strength, and experience with the return of 3 Ail-American seniors: Jackie Moss, Sarah Hoisington, and Martha Williams and junior Ail-American Lauren Schoen- herr. Also, a talented cast of freshmen proved to be the difference throughout the season. They would win events for us by getting the second and third place finishes, explained Moss. Along with depth there was a strong bond between these swimmers that grew as the season went on. Unity, support for each other, and togetherness were many ways they expressed it. And Dennis Carter, along with new Assistant Coach Steve Alessan- dri, were confident that with these qualities they could beat Andover, whom the Maples had never before defeated.

The season was also highlighted with a 2-point come- from-behind victory against Groves. Their only loss was to Ann Arbor Pioneer, the number one ranked team in the state. But unity was only a small factor in Seaholm ' s outstanding season. With hours upon hours of hard training and Mike Zinn ' s mental program, Attitudes for Action, the Maples were mentally and physically prepared to swim out- side the dots, their team motto. With this solid training Seaholm won S.M.A. ' s by over 80 points, taking 3 individual events and the 400 free relay. Eleven swimmers qualified for States — a school record — and many swam to top-ten finishes including co-captains Moss, Hoisington and Williams. Danielle Tallerom, Schoenherr and the 400 free relay also made the top ten. Stacey Galla, Christa Benjamin, Jessica Brunet, Keri Kovach, Kelly Kolodziej, and Liz Schultz also qualified for States. With these fine efforts, Seaholm swam outside the dots with an awesome fifth place ranking in the state.

Shumaker and MB. Simon Statistics, in some cases, are deceiv- ing. In the case of the Girls Diving Team, the statistics do just that. Their record, which turned out to be 5-6-1, doesn ' t really tell the whole story. The girls learned quite a bit from their coach, junior Geoff Hockman. According to Hockman, the girls biggest hurdle to overcome was not the diving itself but the practice schedule. Kris Gosine elabo- rated, The practices themselves were hard but the problem was that they were scattered. We had to go to Seaholm every day, but on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays, we also had to go to Lahser in the evening for lessons. It was finding transportation and arranging schedules that was the hard part. The actual workout included extraor- dinary amounts of sit-ups, push-ups, and jumping jacks. They also used the weight room to work their arm and leg muscles. The practices held at Lahser with other divers were conducted as a class by Happy to be finished with the grueling sit-ups, push-ups, and weight training. Diane Geraduzzi forcefully springs into the pool with her added strength from dryland training, photo by Paul Donar former coach Bill Cody. When Cody was unable to coach, Ed Heil took over. Then when Heil left, Hockman took over as coach. The girls were really supportive of each other and 1 think that is what made the difference between this year ' s team and other years, asserted Hockman. As a first year coach, Hockman found coaching to be a rewar- ding experience. The girls, considering that they are all only sophomores, stayed really cool during the coaching change. After suffering through a dismal start in which the divers failed to win against their first four opponents, the team rallied for several sharp performances, including a season-ending victory over Pioneer. It was hard to pick award winners this year since Hockman had only been with them half a year but he chose Carrie Kohs as Most Valuable Diver and Kris Gosine for Most Improved Diver. Carrie Kohs also placed 15th in the SMA. Next year? Hockman predicted, If they keep improving the way they do, 1 won ' t even worry about next year! The girls really sup- ported each other and that made the differ- ence in the long run.

The team traveled to Iowa City, Iowa for the major event. Because of their previous experiences, this year ' s team was able to concentrate on strategies, defense, and on eliminat- ing mistakes instead of learning how to play, as in past years. During their season, the Maples journeyed to cities ranging from Toledo to Windsor, as well as playing matches in the Oakland County area. Ironically, the water polo team ' s finest and worst games were both waged against the same team. East Kentwood. In one of their regular season games, the team lost by J. O ' Malley and K.

They finished off their successful season with a record of 12 wins and 7 losses, and a third place standing in the state. Due to this year ' s notable season, the Seaholm Swampmen received some well deserved media coverage. Both the Birmingham Eccentric and Channel 7 Action News reported on this year ' s team. Out of the many notable players on the team, several stand out. The team ' s four All State players include Chris Siver and Art Johns, as well as leading scorer Rusty Hibbert and Most Valuable Player Todd Foley. This year ' s water polo team was unique in the fact that all the players will be returning next year. As junior co- captain Keith Cox explained.

WATER POLO 201 Cagers Couldn ' t Even Look Them In The Eyes by Craig Ciccone According to singer Randy New- man, short people got no rea- son, but the Varsity Basketball Team did. To most people, short is anyone shorter than five and a half feet tall. But even with some players who were over six feet, the team still considered them- selves short statured. The team, the coach, and even the spectators blamed the team ' s lack of height as the reason for their lackluster 4-16 record. The irony of their 16 defeats is that, most of the time, they fell short by narrow margins, including losses to Groves, 39-38, Troy, 51-48, Troy Athens, 36-30, and Berkley, 48- 45. In these close contests and in several other games, it was the lack of reboun- ding that primarily led to the defeats. As senior Barrett Tripp observed, As a whole, we were talented, but because of our lack of height, we didn ' t intimidate; we were the subjects of intimidation. So what were the factors which sparked the team to their wins? What allowed them to be so competitive in so many of their tough losses? According to senior John Debbrecht. We had aood At least we had the ability to move the ball and open up the play so we could shoot more.

Although the shrimps weren ' t amazingly accurate in their offense, their tight man-to-man defense and sharp reflexes enabled them to compensate for their height and keep the scores fairly close. The solid defense and consistent outside shooting, however, was not enough to put winning numbers on the scoreboard. But even when the chances of winning were slim. Coach Gary Chamberlain was still very positive about the team. In retrospect. Coach Chamberlain com- mented, Even though we didn ' t have the size, we were strong and very competitive. No one in the league took us for granted. The half pints all realized that they were short. The teams they played probably thought the same thing. But for once, the short ones could and sometimes did tower above the rest. 202 BOYS ' VARSITY BASKETBALL FRONT ROW: Dave Monk. Barrett Tripp, Dave Fusco, Pat Dunn.

After starting out slow with a 1- 3 record, team unity and strong efforts helped turn the season into a record tying performance. By finishing 13-6, they tied the record for the best JV basketball season ever. For the third year, the eleven member team was coached by Dan Whitfield. Led by co-captains Bob McCarty and Steve Schekel, the basketball team developed a large amount of unique team spirit and unity. The most valuable players on the 1986 squad were Steve Schekel and Dave Marcinkowski. Other key players on the team were Tim Vanas and Scott Kang who provided an excellent defen- sive block. This JV basketball team, like many others, had its high and low points of the season. Losing 3 of its first 4 games was a low point for the team, but by working harder they were able to beat the first place team, undefeated Ferndale, and finish with an awesome record. This squad had special comeback potential, after rebounding from injuries by Bob Teaching ability, in- stensity, and dedication to the program has been the key to our success.

The success of the team came from a strong will to work, team unity, hard defense work, and superb bench play. Tim Vanas pointed out, Many of our key games were won by hard earned bench players. Coach Dan Whitfield pinpointed the success of the ' 86 squad. Teaching ability, intensity, and dedica- tion to the program has been the key to our success. Knowing the right play to make in tight, pressure point situations was a unique characteristic displayed by the squad. This team has been a favorite of Coach Dan ' s because there was less talent, but with hard work they were able to succeed. Co-Captain Bob McCarty explained his feelings on being a team member.

BOYS ' JV BASKETBALL 205 nickel and Dime Five ' Pay Off With Victories by Chris Raymond A nickel and dime record is one that doesn ' t produce great dividends, especially when the nickel represents the number of victories and the dime the total defeats for the year. But despite its 5-10 mark, the Fresh- man Basketball Team was definitely not shortchanged in the great strides it made after overcoming a rocky start. This season was a real learning experience, noted starter Matt Newton who, along with his teammates, suffered through seven losses out of their first eight contests. Two of those defeats included a 39-22 beating by league powerhouse Southfield and a 38-20 whipping by Ferndale. We were all down after the first eight games, said guard Dave Palmer. But after a coaching change in midsea- son, with Gary Chamberlain and Dan Whitfield taking over the duties, the cagers rebounded to record three straight wins over Berkley, Beecher and Andovcr. Despite experiencing another losing streak, the team played on a more competitive level and ended the season by trouncing Andover, 66-29. The team ' s competitive spirit and willingness to practice hard were a plus throughout the year. Point guard John O ' Brien displayed his leadership, espe- cially during the second half of the season. Big men Jeff Lynn and Jason Redwine banged the offensive and defensive boards repeatedly to snag rebounds and pour in vital buckets. Smooth-shooting Jay Talbert gave much needed offensive firepower to his team with his deadly outside jumpers. We were really starting to get things going, said O ' Brien who was disap- pointed that the season had to end just when the team was about to reel off another winning streak. But one thing will always be remem- bered about this year ' s nickel and dime freshmen five. They gave every- one their money ' s worth! Jay Tauber hustles for a loose ball in a game against Groves.

It takes mental and physical toughness, a dedication to improving, a winning spirit, and guts. Not only did the Varsity Volleyball Team possess these basic traits, but they also had strong leader- ship from senior captains Katy Hennessy and Karen Marshall, an awesome con- ception of a team, and a one in a million coach. When all of these factors fell into place, the result was a team ' s second consecutive SMA title and the preserva- tion of Seaholm ' s winning tradition. After losing five starting seniors from last year, General Mills was forced to do some reshuffling and retraining to establish a workable squad early in the season. Hennessy said, We had enough talent to win early and it carried us through until all of the flaws were ironed out. The formula proved to be almost flawless as the team tallied a spotless SMA record, and a second place finish at the Dryden and Trenton tournaments. But after two sprained ankles, a bad case of the flu, and a 102° fever from ten hours at the Trenton tournament, a very pumped and determined Hazel Park team stopped the rampage and ended the team ' s 27 match SMA winning streak beginning in 1985. The loss was taken in style, though. When you win as much as we do, you get spoiled, smiled coach Mills, We were tired from the weekend (the Trenton tournament), but in sports you play on the night you ' re scheduled to play on no matter what condition you ' re in. Everyone on the bench was just as riled as the people on the court, commented sparkplug Ginny Kemp. This attitude helped defeat Kimball and Marian before they were tripped up by Midland Dow in regionals. The team ' s skill was best showcased by the numerous awards the players earned. All-stater Karen Marshall was joined on the All-Region team by second team member Holland and honorable mention Becky Lojek, all of whom received some All-Area and AU-SMA award as well as All-Area third team member Jan Calvert. Marshall was named the MVP and the best offensive player, while Jan Calvert was the best defensive player. Suzy Beagen received the MIP award and Kemp was named most spirited. And just as the names of the players are engraved on the SMA trophy, the faces and winning spirit of the players will forever be engraved in the hearts of those involved with this championship team. 208 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL FRONT ROW: Manager Kim Ingels.

If the team ' s overall record of 8-11 and 7-7 in the league is used to measure the success of their season, then by no means was it a great year, but Coach Joyce Harlukowicz was pleased. The girls made steady improvement on their skills all season long, and everyone worked hard, and I really appreciated that, explained Coach Harlukowicz. This team was a young one made up of eight freshmen, five sophomores, and two managers — Melissa Grow, and April Kashcner. Freshman Carrie Reff said, It was fun, because we all became friends. One of the team ' s most treasured games was against Royal Oak Kimball. The Maples outlasted the Knights in three hard-fought, closely-contested games to win the match. Another gutty performance occurred against the Southfeld Blue Jays, when the team fell behind early but fought back to overtake the Blue Jays, 16-14, 15-8. Sophomore Molly Roberts explained, We had a lot of good saves and that ' s what helped us to come back and win the game. While talking about the team in general, and what she felt was their greatest strength, freshman Chelsa Reff explained, I feel that our greatest strength was our team spirit. The team ' s leading players were sophomore Captain Kelly Holden, and freshman Libby Peters. In assessing the season.

But unfortu- nately, not for the Freshman Volley- ball Team. How many times have you listened or read of stories where the underdog roars from behind to overtake the first place team and seize the championship on the final day of the season? The script was reversed for the freshman team as the Maples grabbed the top spot by ripping off six wins in their first seven games, only to fall into second place after suffering late season defeats to Royal Oak Kimball and Webb Junior High. We were a good team, recalled Michele Vander Brug, but when we lost we would play down at their level. The freshmen managed to overcome their opponents early on, but were devastated as the final games slipped away, along with their hopes of a championship. It was crushing, a real let down, conceded Molly Abramson. But she added, The thing that counts, in the end, is that we did our best. The final season defeat to Webb Jr. High was an especially bitter and heartbreaking loss, as the team dropped two tightly contested sets. We knew it was our last chance at the season victory, said Vander Brug, so we tried to play together. But Webb was just a little ahead of us. By stressing the proper execution of the basic fundamentals of bumping, setting and spiking, the team posted a respectable 9-4 over-all record. Never was this sound execution and solid team play more evidenced than in sweeping past a tough Kimball team in two games, 15-13 and 15-12. We were all psyched for the Kimball match, explained Abramson. It ' s much more exciting to play against a good team than a bad team because it makes it a challenge. It was close at times but we pulled it off and won, The Kimball game indicated the obvious abundance of talent possessed by the team. In his 18 years of coaching volleyball, this team certainly stands out in Bill Schmidt ' s mind. This is one of the best teams I ' ve ever coached. They ' think volleyball ' and use their skills while they are on the court. Not many of my teams ever did that. 212 FRESHMEN VOLLEYBALL Ellen Schreiber sets up a smash for her teammates In a crucial game against Ferndale.

Mylod it ' s the M. will to train to win, was the motivational concept which ran through the minds of all 34 swim team members during the ' 85- ' 86 season. When rating the year, Head Coach Dick Rosenthal referred to it as a rebuilding year. Yet even with the team termed as rebuilding, the Maples managed to continue the winning tradition by swim- ming to an impressive 9-3 overall season record. And how were they able to handle such a difficult task? TRAINING! It began in late November when the team faced 5 weeks of long-yardage workouts. It was a testing period for the swimmers who dared to endure the insane wor- kouts of the Animal Lanes, and a new experience for beginners who toughed it out in the Comfort Zone Lanes. For animals who had to prove themselves worthy of the title, morning practice coach Dennis Carter created the 4500 5000 Clubs (meaning 5000 yards swum in an hour). The incentive for Successfully enduring the pain which butterfly typically causes in competition, sophomore Mike Rehfus gasps for one last breath before plowing into his turn. photo by Doug Engle swimming every morning at 6:00 was a formal breakfast served by loyal parents. Aside from training physically to remain a force within the S.M.A., the Maples used motivational sessions with Mike Zinn to strengthen the psychologi- cal aspect of swimming. He forced us to think through our races realistically so that we ' d be more confident for the real thing, commented senior co-captain Brian Kent. And they were, for when the big meet against Berkley crept up at the end of the dual meet season, Seaholm prevail- ed, running away with an unmerciful 91- 78 victory. Though it was a young team with good swims by freshmen powers Matt Gray, John Fitzpatrick, Andre Frottier, and Jeff Fertuck, the Maples were blessed with six top performance state qualifiers from Kevin Mylod, Jim Johns, Rusty Hibbert, David Kovach, Keith Cox, and Eric Fernando. Reflecting on the season, Jim Johns said, It was a tough season and if it hadn ' t been for Seaholm pride we wouldn ' t have been as successful. This team is loaded with talent and their great attitudes brought them unpredicted and unmerited success.

As a choice few, freshman Matt Allen, junior Geoff Hockman, and senior Tim Flynn unanimously agree that the strenuous training just doesn ' t appeal to everybody. We practice two hours every afternoon, an hour every morning, and four hours on the weekends. It becomes more of a challenge than a routine, emphasized Allen. Hockman believes the constant risk of failure is the primary reason for the small number of divers on the team. On the opposite angle, howev- er, Flynn stated that a lack of interest and communication keeps the group to a minimum. Though the absence of divers provides a more personal atmosphere between the three, they are extremely concerned about the future of the team and the lack of involvement that they presently face. Though the records indicate a dive in success from the previous seasons, the team disagrees. The 1986 crew consist- ed of two rookie divers, Allen and Flynn, and a Seaholm diving debut by coach Rob Nani. All in all, we had a pretty good season in the sense that there was a lot of improvement by all of the divers, revealed Flynn. At the start of the season, we were very inexperienced, with the exception of Geoff, but that started to pick up and we really progres- sed. Nani felt that the season was personally profitable to the divers be- cause each individual achieved goals and ambitions. These dynamic divers did make some waves with the officials, however. Hockman, devoting his three years to varsity diving, finished fourth place in the SMA championships with a score of 405.250 courtesy of the six judges. At the conclusion of the season, prosperity struck again when Hockman, under the private coaching eye of Wild Bill Cody, took aim and qualified for state competi- tion. The highlight was ET teaching tons of new dives and seeing the team learn them all. COACH ROB NANI - mLA DIVING OPPONENT SHS OPP Fcrndale 9-8 Grosse Point South 13-3 Troy 8-8 E.

And that is exactly what the team got although it was a disappointing one-win season for both the boys and girls ski teams. The team contained no seniors. This and the reality of many new members contributed to a season described as one of rebuilding. We ' ve got some terrific young racers, but there was a definite lack of experience missing from the team. Because of this, 1 really didn ' t expect a lot from them. But I actually got great effort and dedication from every- one, remarked Coach Tincu. Yet the team always skied well against their opponents. In their most intense meet against crosstown rival Groves, the girls fell to defeat by only two miniscule points and the boys lost by only six points. Some great potential was seen in several new varsity skiers. These skiers included freshman Aaron Simpson, sophomore Peter Mann, junior Ted Pryde, and new Pontiac Catholic trans- fer Darrin Best. Susie Rifkin led the girls again this year along with co-captain All I asked was for my people to give ski team their best; they gave me more.

Rifken had an excellent finish at regionals where she placed 16th in slalom and 14th in giant slalom out of over 80 girls competing. Top skiers for the boys team were co-captains Pete Landgraff and Matt McKenzie. It all began with dryland training in November way before the first snow- flake fell. Dryland training included extensive calisthenics, running, and stretching. And then the fun really began. The average ski team day began at 3:15 p.m. and ended at 8 p.m. Did they get their homework done on the bus? Never. Ski team certainly did not help my grades. Yet in the end it was all worth it for the skiing, recalled John Marshall. Ski team also held many memorable experiences for other skiers. During the meet versus Brighton High School, it was —50 degrees with the wind chill, Rifkin fondly remembered. Considering the effort, time, and dedication, the season was beneficial to the whole team. The combination of all of these factors may not have added up to a winning season, but it was certainly a successful one.

This guy will keep trying until he finds methods that work. This year ' s wrestling team was the guy and the beginning of their season was the girl, as they were matched up against and lost to the toughest teams in both the state and the league. But they forgot the setbacks, found methods that worked, and destroyed the rest of their opponents finishing strongly with a 12-4 mark, despite their slow start. The team enjoyed their season even more because they adopted an attitude in which they treated each match like it was state competition. Even when they were leading by thirty points, they would keep a high intensity level and play like they were losing. This attitude was something they adopted from their new coach, Tom Mcintosh. Senior Pat Bray attributed their triumphant season to the new coach as he said, The coaching was better this year mainly because last year. the coaching was too advanced. Tom was a college wrestler and taught us the more common collegiate style. Being so close to a league champion- ship, losing to Hazel Park, Troy, and Kimball was hard, but didn ' t seem to matter to Coach Mcintosh. We didn ' t let it get us down. We just took it one meet at a time knowing that we were a strong squad. The wrestlers felt the same way about the outcome of the season as senior Mark Borman added, The season was fantastic; 1 couldn ' t be happier because when we lost, we lost to good teams. So the team not only found a different method, but a colle- giate method to conquer high school wrestling and they did just that. It is true that one never forgets their first love, but the wrestlers did and found it much more comfortable the second time around.

The most unique aspect of the team was its outstanding senior leadership. Senior Katie Dahn really pulled the team together, contin- ued Coach Chrostek. Just as the seniors were important, rookie coach Chrostek was well appreciated by the girls. The most important thing we learned this year was the benefit of a good coach, asserted sophomore gymnast Lee Ham- mond. In four of the twelve meets, the team scored 118 or better, which qualified them for regionals where they placed 10th. According to Chrostek, the consis- tently high scorers of this year ' s team were Dahn, Hammond, junior Beth Hockman, and freshman Jenny Four- acre. As a team, Seaholm did not qualify for states, but Dahn, who placed second in regionals, went on individually to states. Dahn competed in all four areas — vault, floor, beam, and bars. I really gave it everything I had, she explained. Overall she placed 13th in the state- ranking 9th for her floor routine.

Leading the way to victory was the 1985 Most Valuable Player and team captain Jim Hakemian. The versatile athlete led the team in batting averages as well as being the Maples star pitcher and All County Player. Other outstand- ing Scaholm players included catcher Joe Holland, first baseman Marc Spen- cer, and centerfielder Tony Purther. The Maples compiled an impres- sive record of 20 wins and only 6 losses in their league games. One of the best games of the season for the team was beating Kimball, 10-4, at their home field. This was the first time that the Varsity team had beaten the Knights on their own turf in thirteen years. Another high point for the Maples was edging out Troy, 4-2, and knocking them down from their first place standing in the league. r by Kristin Fitzpatrlcl Seaholm ' s skill extended beyond their league games, though. The Varsity team also won the George Gary Invita- tional Tournament over Memorial Day weekend. The Invitational was a single elimination tournament and Seaholm won three times before playing the championships at midnight. Jason Smith pitched an excellent game, Dave Martin caught, and Hakemian and Spencer hit home runs to easily clinch the tourna- ment against Walled Lake Central. Seaholm ' s right fielder, Don Righter, was voted Most Valuable Player for the tournament. The team then went on to win its first S.M.A. in 13 years, before losing to Kimball in the first round at the State Tournament. A balanced attack and solid team unity propelled the varsity nine to their fine season. As Dave Martin, the only underclassman on the team, said Everything was a team effort. If some- one played bad, another person made up for it. That ' s how we won.

K, Mylod E Sard Backed by strong hitting and deter- mination, the 1985 JV Baseball Team pulled itself from a 1-6 slump to a final record of 11-9. Sophomore Tom Weddle also credited the team with great amounts of maturity and flexibility. Although their pitching could have been better, the power of the hitters was exceptional. Tom Weddle, the team ' s leading hitter, carried an awesome .520 batting average throughout the season. Billy Solomonson and Dave VanMeter were also consistent throughout the season with .350 and .320 averages, respectively. Because of a tough start in the season, the players had to pull together and work as a team. This was the easiest challenge they faced, considering most of the players were friends and had known each other for a long time. Thus, the team felt at ease and relaxed. The team pulled together and could finally count on each other to come through. Dave VanMeter confirmed this stating. Although we had our detriments, the team hung together, had fun, and performed to the best of our ability. Losing their first game to Royal Oak Kimball 2-1, the team began the season slowly, winning only one game out of seven. One of the many highlights of the season was breaking this losing streak by sweeping Groves in a double header, 4- 2 and 3-1. The Maples ' defense was headed by sophomore pitching ace Bill Solomonson, junior pitcher Steve Kurth, and star relief pitcher Eric Griffiths. Mike Carroll, the only freshman on the team, started as catcher and was an exceptional hitter. Coach Greg Glenn remarked, Mike will definitely be a power in a few years. Dave VanMeter, Mitch Fischer, and Charlie Tathum were other key players who made a significant contribution to the success of the Junior Varsity team. Playing Brother Rice is always a big game for us, more so than Groves, said sophomore Fred Funke, after the Maples swept past the Warriors, 3-1 and 4-1, to help cap off a memorable season. 226 BOYS ' JV BASEBALL Sophomore slugger Tom Weddle assumes the perfect batting stance which led him to his outstanding .520 batting average- the highest on the team, photo by Mike Rafferty Anticipating a bunt, junior Steve Kurth prepares to steal second base in the second game of the double header against Brother Rice which the Maples won. 3-1 and 4-1. photo by Mike Rafferty BOYS ' JV BASEBALL 227 This was the best per- |Bf ' ' IPS) formance from a ninth grade team that Seaholm j 1 -: has had in a long time.

Wilson The Boys ' Freshmen Baseball Team ' s coach, Andy Little, started this season by keeping 19 of the 35 boys that tried out for the team. This is enough to make up two teams and makes it hard for players to get into the games. But Little remarked, 1 would rather give the players a chance to improve with practice. Seeing as they are only freshmen, most of them haven ' t had much experience in good games and 1 hate to cut boys from the team that may become better players just because 1 only need a small number of them to make up a team. Because they were freshmen, there were no regionals or play-offs to com- pete in, and it truly was just for the fun and experience. And why not give the players game experience that would help any team they might later play on? Due to the fact that there were many first year kids on the team, it took Coach Little almost half way through the season to get them to be able to work together well. This is when the ' 85 season began to loo up for the fresh- One of the leaders of the team was Steve Scheckell who was a threat on the mound as well as at the plate. He had a 3-3 pitching record with an earned run average of 4.0. Equally as promising was his batting average of .350, which made him twice as dangerous to the op posing team. Coach Little felt that his three most outstanding players were Todd Siefkin, Rob Kaye, and Todd Glandt. Comparing his team with others. Little said, If they want to equal last year ' s record of 13-2, they have to pick up the pace. Despite their late organi- zation, they pulled together and started winning. Because this was a freshmen team, it suffered from the usual: a lack of press coverage and more importantly, student support. Overall, the team did a great job of pulling together and began to play as one. And when they did, they began to win. 228 BOYS ' FRESHMAN BASEBALL FRONT ROW: Mike Lowe. Scott Kang. Mike Hess.

Sard The words unique , fun and exciting can be used when de- scribing the 1985 girls ' varsity soccer season. There were many new and impressing aspects including one revolu- tionary and effective element involving the five starting freshmen. Katie Burke, Amanda Crooker, Heather Hamilton, Heather Marshall and Adie Olmsted took typical freshman abuse, but on the field, added strength and depth to the team. Both Crooker and Marshall were named to second team, All-League. Another key to the Maples ' success was newcomer Caroline Johnston, who was the foundation for one of the league ' s strongest defenses. This earned her positions on 1st team All-League, and All-County as well as Honorable Mention All-State. Carrie Page was also a crucial part of the Maples ' defense, and was named to 1st team All-League. Overall, the outstanding Maple defense, including goalkeeper Amanda Crooker allowed 18 goals for the season, while Defender Caroline Johnston, demonstrating unique soccer sense, makes an offensive run out of the back, illustrating her competitive desire to score. photo by Paul Donar the offense put 58 goals in their oppo- nents ' nets. The Maples tallied an impressive final record of ten wins, five losses, and two ties, with losses coming from three state-ranked teams. The ' 85 season also saw new attitudes both on and off the field. Co- Captains Katy Andreae and Elissa Sard initiated numerous fun, team-unifying activities, such as playing together informally during the fall and winter seasons, and pre-game psyche-up din- ners. The team ' s unity was a big reason for the record number of awards earned this season. Caroline Johnston received the Coach ' s Award. Andreae, ranked 3rd in the state, made 1st team All-State again, and was also the team ' s Most Valuable Player. Most Improved Player Heather Marshall summed up the season by saying, We had great individual players, but we worked as a team and had a great time in the process.

O ' Malley Strong individual performances, supported by the unified efforts of the entire squad, led the 1985 Junior Varsity Girls Soccer Team to an impres- sive and successful season. Captains were Beth Stokes, Rachel Mullett, and Andrea Scampa. Other strong players were forwards Amy Zangerle, Cheri Lee, and Ann Bookmeyer. Diane Ha- geman led the midfield. There was an uncommon unity and genuine friendship between the team- mates and their coach, Steve Mastra- geanis, this season. It was this bond which helped motivate the girls and keep them going. Said goalie Mary Beth Simon, Everybody knew each other; we grew close to each other, and Steve our coach. He not only told us what to do, but he showed us; and that made the difference in our play. One of the team ' s best games was a rain-shortened match against Andover. In a game earlier in the season, the Barons had embarrassed Seaholm with a 5-2 defeat. In the rematch, however, the Maples played extremely well and jumped to a 1-0 lead before thunder- storms ended the game as a Seaholm victory. As junior center forward Ann Bookmeyer said, We didn ' t just dribble. We were able to pass the ball to each o ther. Everyone was looking ahead up the field, passing the ball through to other Seaholm players, and coming to meet the ball. Everything really came together for us. The Maples ' outstan- ding play during that match served as an illustration of the benefits of hard work and determination. Junior Andrea Scampa, playing on defense, received the award of Most Valuable Player.

She said, I saw little effort at first, but as I was scoring and as we were winning, they wanted to score too and be more a part of winning. All in all, it was a very well played and successful season. Molly Roberts summed up the season well.

Throughout the season, this outstanding group of young men accumulated hun- dreds of hours of relentless practice in order to attain that same honorable recognition which flows so freely to their varsity counterparts. Playing Junior Varsity Tennis this year was a significant building block for me, stated junior Dave Quinn, That was exactly the purpose of Seaholm ' s 1985 Junior Varsity, that is, building for next year. Our practices were tough and at times unbearable; but in the end they were all worth it, said junior Mark Duff. Coach Bob London drilled the boys to improve their strokes. He focused on increasing endurance and stamina, both essential for a successful team. Some Junior Varsity members were even fortunate enough to earn their varsity letter for playing in four varsity matches.

Overall, the team ended with a tremendously successful season. Junior Varsity Tennis offers great opportunity for Seaholm ' s talented ten- nis players. Besides improving their game, the boys agreed that it ' s a fun way to meet new people with a common interest. According to Matt Wester, The experience that players acquire from the intense competition is also a plus. These young men are fortunate enough to have a talent which allows them to not only contribute themselves to their school, but to also gain beneficial experience. These boys have not only gained new skills but also pride. by A, Trees and L. Mellick BOYS ' JV TENNIS 239 Record- Breaking Golfers Swing For The Top by M. Hayes and L. Krebs They took an individual sport, and managed to play every match like a team. Assistant coach Lois Owen expressed these words with a great feeling of pride as the Seaholm Varsity Girls ' Golf Team swung their way into all the record books. A team first at the Oakland County Meet sparked the girls enthusiasm and concentrated their efforts on success. Junior Jennifer Smith believed that the meet gave us more confidence that I think we needed. As a team it made us feel that we could go all the way. The next task to be handled with a smooth swing and group effort was a first place finish at the East Lansing Invita- tional. Sophomore Ann Holland attribu- ted this continued success to the unity of the team. We became a team because we worked as one to win in a playoff. Holland explained, It brought us all together. The team then travelled to Troy to play in a scramble finishing with a tie for first place, but lost in a match Judging the power needed in her swing by the distance to the hole, sophomore Laura Byington funnels her energies into the application of her past experiences.

Regionals brought Seaholm its first ever shot at a state title by placing second and qualifying for the state tournament, where later they placed an impressive sixth in the state. In the team ' s dual matches the girls finished with the best season ever at Seaholm, with a 17-1 overall record. Sophomore Laura Byington credited the team ' s incredible victories to the team as a whole. One person can ' t win the SMA for you, she explained, It takes the support of the team. The only loss was to a strong Athens squad. New records were set this season with a 168 for four girls, and a 219 for five girls. Rookie coach Don Wadsten was elated with the girls ' performance and summed up the season by saying, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn ' t know what to expect when the season started. I had no idea what we had, but now I know we have the best.

Simich ' s con- sistent pitching made her one of varsity ' s starting pitchers. photo by Mike Raflerty Saturday afternoons were spent at the ballfield, prom night created conflicts, homework often times was neglected and the pressure never seem- ed to end, but still Softball always came first. For the first time in three years. Mother Nature decided to cooperate with the Varsity Girls ' Softball Team. The three hour practices Monday through Friday not only enhanced the team ' s skills, but it deepened their tans as well. With six players returning from the previous year, the Maples ' exper- ience paid off. Both offensive and defensive plays were executed with greater precision than in preceding years. Not only did the team have veterans to show the newcomers a good example, the rookies themselves added a lot of needed fresh, new talent. Despite the team ' s many assets, the SMA proved to be a tough league. According to their coach, Gary Cham- berlain, the team ' s greatest challenge was to be defensively sound. After getting off to a promising start by easily winning their first three games, the Maples suffered from a short slump before their efforts started paying off again. The girls ' league record of 9-5 proved good enough to earn them a second place in the league. A tough loss to Ferndale in the bottom of the seventh inning by only one run, and another to Andover, again only by one run, hinder- ed their chances of capturing the cov- eted SMA title. The team ' s toughest defeat, howev- er, came in the semi-final round of district play. After jumping out to an early 10-1 lead and hanging on to a 10- 3 lead after four innings, the Maples let the game slip away. The final score of Ferndale 17 and Seaholm 14 knocked them out of the tournament and sent them packing up the bats and balls until the next year ' s season. Although they ' ve lost many key players, the returning players hope that, with the players moving up from the J.V. team, along with a lot of hard work, they can do just as well next year. by Stacey Springer 242 GIRLS ' VARSITY SOFTBALL Senior Laurie Michelson shows off her batting stance in the game against Hazel Park.

After completing going through the batting order, the captain gives the signal. Instantaneously, the entire team turns their hats inside-out and shouts, rally! in unison. This may appear to be a side show at the circus, but in reality it is a typical game during the 1985 JV Softball season. It wasn ' t goofing off that gave the team a tremendous 18-2 record, but hard work, dedication and loads of talent. Becky Lojek agreed, saying, I have never worked harder to improve, and to keep up with the rest of the team. Precision pitching by Mara Simich (who later moved to varsity) and Becky Lojek acted as a foundation while strong fielding ability made the key plays adding strength and support to the pitchers. Although batting was only consid- ered sufficient by Katie Buesser, the team succeeded in romping on most of their opponents. No stars emerged from by Katy Andreae the team and as Julie Jolliffe explained, We could always depend on a few different people each game. Even though the players were dependable in most games. Mother Nature was not. During a double-header with Ferndale after school, the game ran so long that the last batter struck out because it was so dark, said Jolliffe. If we had played the extra inning, we would have won the league. The game ended in a tie and Seaholm placed second behind Kimball. Most Valuable Player Award was given to Jan Ravish; Jolliffe received The Most Improved Player Award; and Katie Buesser received The Sportsman- ship Award. The team ' s spirit and unity was best demonstrated by the rally cheer, which was originated on Happy Days. As Jolliffe explained, You twirl your fingers in a circle in the air and say ' rally ' and it would get everyone pepped up. It ' s no wonder that Buesser proudly announced, We were the rowdiest team in the SMA! In the home opener, Katie Buesser whips the ball to first base. Later in the first inning.

With coaching by Bill Schmidt, the team was strong without individual leaders. By sportsmanship and team unity, we all work together, said Debbie Michelson. Their power as a team showed at the end of their season with a 14-0 record. They scored a whopping 203 runs to the opposition ' s 84 tallies. This was primarily due to excellent fielding. The team ' s greatest strength was their ability to come from behind. They were an exceptionally good team. When they fell behind, they really started to play. And after they did - look out! said Coach Schmidt. There were, however, the individ- uals that contributed to the team ' s success. The league learned early in the season that they could not steal bases on catcher Stephanie Bearden. Managers Carla Hay and Stephanie Spellman also contributed to the team. Being a manag- er involves dedication. Making sure the score is kept correctly and every play is recorded are two important duties. Fortunately, the team had only one major injury the whole season. During a game at Berkley, second baseman Alison Andreae injured her knee when a Berkley player slid into her. Alison sat on the bench or in her wheelchair for the rest of the season. Out of the fourteen victorious games played, the team mercied twelve of them. This was the second year in a row that the freshman Softball team went undefeated. Since this was only a ninth grade team, they did not go to any regionals or playoff games; but their teamwork and dedication paid off. They saw their results in an undefeated season. by Libble Wilson 246 GIRLS ' FRESHMEN SOFTBALL Second baseman Tricia Roddy anxiously a waits for a line drive to come her way in the game against Southfield. pholo by Mike Rafferly Diana Spencer returns a pop fly while Mamie Vaiko watches during warm-up practice prior to the Kimball game.

Washburn Great size, depth and attitude all contributed to the success of last season ' s Boys ' Track Team. In the last four years, no Seaholm track team has done better. Seventy members gave the team versatility and guaranteed talent and success in all track and field events. The team was not dependent on one single member alone, but had many able runners ready to take the place of any person that could not participate com- petitively in a meet. The team had four strong captains ■ Alex Morton, Steve Johnson, Peter Roberts, and Doug Summers, all seniors. Team Coach Ken Shively could see their performance getting more powerful with each meet. He felt that this was due to their positive attitudes and unity as a team. Their winning streak built up the runner ' s confidence and convinced them of their excellent track abilities. In an outstanding performance, Doug Summers pole vaulted fourteen feet, nine inches. The previous record of Senior Steve Perry and sophomore Cory Cotter execute hurdling together at an after school practice in preparation for upcoming meets. pl„.i.. t.v Mik. Rallerty fourteen feet, seven and a half inches was held by the team ' s assistant coach Jim Roth. One of the most memorable competitions was defeating Troy with a close final score of 73-64. It was the first time Seaholm beat Troy since they became part of the Southeastern Michi- gan Association. The most disappointing meet lost the whole year by Seaholm was against Andover. Because of a disqualification in the 800 meter relay, Seaholm lost by three points making the final score 70- 67. Despite these minor setbacks, the team held together, grew stronger with each meet, and had a great season. As Alex Morton put it, The season was so great because the team had such great depth, there were so many good run- ners, or maybe it was the coaching ... Regardless, the overall record, eight wins and two losses and second in the league confirmed their excellence. The team possessed a positive attitude that 4 contributed to the suc- ftiif ' cessful season.

Morgan M. Washburn Last spring, the Girls ' Track Team pushed it to the limit - and at the rate they were going, they never even came close to a screeching halt. The year brought two big changes to the team. First was Jim Mulligan, a new coach who, in his first year coaching at Seaholm, hoped to make the season the best one ever. Second, the team had a much larger and stronger freshman track squad than it had in the past, which really helped the team ' s progress throughout the season. The team ' s captains were seniors Mary Ballantyne and Karen Anderson, and junior Kathy Soloczuk. In addition to the other members, exceptionally strong runners included senior Alison Saylor, sophomore Renee Bator, and freshman Jennifer Jacoby. Placing sev- enth out of twenty-seven schools in the mile run, Jennifer Jacoby commented about the other runners. All of the eleventh and twelfth grade runners on the team have been really supportive to Junior track members. Anita Motwani and Colleen Roberts prepare daily during after school practices for upcoming competition. photo by Mike Raffcrty The new coach Jim Mulligan felt that the team ' s greatest strengths were in the long and mid-distance events. He felt the team ' s weakness was basically their lack of experience. Last year ' s team had a lot more experience, but this year ' s team had a lot more raw talent, Mulligan said. Only seven members were return- ing team runners from previous years. Junior Anita Motwani stated, The team this season will be good in the future because the freshmen on the team are really good runners. We all work togeth- er and have fun. We run as a whole team, not as separate runners. The overall attitude, optimism, and confidence that the runners and the coach held helped to create a talented and successful atmosphere among all. The Girls ' Track Team thrived and set the talented precedent for its members and their future seasons. This year ' s freshmen members proved to be exceptionally strong, which guarantees success the next few years.

Bill Watson, Seaholm ' s sports trainer, may be small in stature, but his actions are grand. Watson is the man on the sidelines helping the athletes at ever y game. He dedicates himself not only to our sports program, but Watson works 9 to 5 at the Metro Rehabilitation Center. Working both jobs, Watson admits, requires quite a commitment. Sometimes, I don ' t get home until 10:00 or 10:30, he explained. Watson ' s most striking attribute, how- ever, is not his ability to juggle two jobs, but his unique relationships with students. While he treats students as equals, the students relate to Wild Bill as one of the guys. Yeah, he ' s cool, he ' s like a student, you can talk to him, said Mike Rafferty. Not only does Watson offer a good conversation, he helps athletes with injur- ies and therapy, and, of course, said Jon Burleigh, He goes through a lot of ankles every day. Watson ' s reward for these long hours is the joy of working with the students. It ' s easy to work for kids, especially here, because they always say ' please ' and ' thank you ' . Watson ' s ability to relate to the students and have a grip on the Seaholm sports scene may be attributed to his degree in physical education from West- ern Michigan. But more significantly, Watson mastered the routine from first hand experience. As a student at Seaholm, Watson developed his interest in the sports training field, becoming the football manager trainer. Wild Bill also ran the 220 and 440 in track his senior year. After graduating in 1978, Watson con- tinued his interests as a trainer at Western. In 1983, Watson returned to Seaholm to find all of the good times and a salary waiting for him. Although Watson hopes someday to go further in the sports medicine field, at Seaholm, he will always be known as Wild Bill, and as senior Craig Ciccone said, just a good friend.

See- ing old friends, being with the family, and, most of all, having lots and lots of turkey and mashed potatoes! For the majority of us in this area, we are thankful for being able to celebrate this holiday. But there are millions of families each year who pass Thanksgiving with little or no food to eat. This past Thanksgiving, the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News in co- operation with the National Syndicate devoted their whole comic sections to the theme of hunger in hopes of making the public more aware of it on holidays and throughout the year. Nancy Barnett who graduated from Seaholm in 1977 and is now a part-time worker in the Entertainment and T.V. Guide sections of the Free Press remem- bered, As 1 was sitting down to my SHOE By Jeff MacNelly Y Thanksgiving dinner 1 almost felt guilty with all that food in front of me. It made me realize that there are people who aren ' t as fortunate as we and that we should try and give back to them. When Seaholm students were asked if they had read the comics, many of them said they had. 1 thought it was a great way to present a serious problem and publicly alert people, commented senior Amy Zalman. When Zalman was asked what we as a community can do to help relieve hunger, she concluded, The innate values of humanity cause us to make decisions that effect people we might not think about otherwise. We should stop and think about what we are doing before we act. Student Congress Vice-President Charlie Leto recalled after reading some of the comics, The characters changed radically from being humorously self-centered to being thankful. It satirized the way many of us unconsciously neglect the hungry. Overall, the Thanksgiving comics in the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News were successful in their attempt to open the eyes of the public. An idea like this demonstrates our growing sympathy toward hunger and our eagerness to help alleviate it. Jell MacNelly ' s comic strip Shoe satirizes the serious hunger problem that many lamilies encounter not only on Thanksgiving but throughout the Vear.

Our town is now offering a range of specialty shops to suit every need. For example, there are many new and upcom- ing tanning salons for the year-long Florid- ian. Also, a recently reopened store. Leotards Etc., carries numerous tights and leotards to satisfy the latest aerobic craze. However, there are also a few disad- vantages of the expansion uptown. Senior Joe Wolf pointed out, Birmingham adver- tises itself as a small town America, but there aren ' t that many small towns where a majority of the stores sell expensive sportswear. Aside from this negative aspect, most people have positive feelings toward the change. Junior Ted Halbert added, All the new businesses coming into Birming- ham have created more job openings for us teenagers.

We sponsor such activities as Safe Rides, Project Graduation and Youth to Youth groups. stated Mrs. Wolf, a member of B.B.F.A. B.B.F.A. members send out pam- phlets to parents, asking them to make sure their children don ' t have parties while they are away. When the children come in at night, parents make sure they haven ' t been drinking and take other such precautions. They also call hotels on prom night so that kids won ' t get rooms and drink in them. Student responses to the actions of the B.B.F.A. were mainly critical. Virginia McGregor said, 1 think they blow the problems way out of proportion and they act like every kid is an alcoholic. Dave Laski added, They really don ' t have any effect on parties or drinking because what they want is so unrealistic. Students generally see the B.B.F.A. as nosy and unfairly trying to interfere with students ' social lives. Monica Mylod stated, I think it ' s annoying to have people wasting their time trying to control the social lives of other teenagers, when they should just stick to trying to correct their own children ' s faults! The thing that seems to bother teenagers the most is that some adults drink and drive themselves. These adults are sometimes the same ones who tell us kids not to drink, said Laura Farrington. As Dan Demarco put it, It ' s like a man smoking a cigarette walking up to another man who is also smoking and telling him not to smoke. It just doesn ' t seem right.

Along with Karen Jacobson ' s classes, Ellen Fleming once again brought the Home Ec. department together to create the annual Senior Citizens Dinner. The entire event was prepared and coordinated by the Foods A, Interior Design, Clothing, and Single Survival classes. The prepara- tion began in the fall with the everpresent cookie and candy bar sales which produced more than enough funds to pay for the dinner. And along with the donations from local florists and businesses, the atmo- sphere was set for a beautiful dinner. The guests were mainly composed of senior citizens from Birmingham ' s BASCE and several were bussed in from Shelter Arms. Surprisingly, many grandparents of Home Ec. students also attended. The afternoon proved to be quite a cross section of generations, as a group of Walnut Lake Elementary School second grade students came to sing Christmas carols for the guests. It was a wonderful experience for all who participated from the senior citizens to the students, said Home Economics teacher Karen Jacobson. It ' s nice to see high school students doing for other people and giving of themselves. Sophomore Karen Ktapproth carefully pours another cup of steaming hot coffee for one of the many senior citizens who attended this dinner prepared by all of the Home Ec students. pholo by Doug Engle COMMUNITY ADS 263 c OMMUNIT Y They ' re on the Prowl bw Maureen Dunn Hiding behind winding curves, arching trees, and unobtrusive sidestreets, especially Argyle, Cran- brook and Bradway Boulevard, the police are always ready to catch the culprit. The blue and red lights flash as the police car screeches out of hiding, forcing all the cars to beware and let him by. Is it nrie? rushes through every mind of every driver. As some panic, the quick reaction of the lead foot slamming on the brake brings them to an immedi- ate halt. Giving her opinion on the subject of Birmingham police cars, junior Wendy Broughton said, After a while you know where every police car hides, and the lights on top of their cars almost give them away. But there has been change in the Birmingham police department . . , that ' s right, unmarked police vehicles. So now drivers must be cautious while speeding around corners, drag racing with the school rival, or practicing 180 ' s in the parking lot. Senior Buffy Martin, recently pulled over by an inconspicuous police car commented, Who would think that a blue Buick could possibly be a police car? Some drivers are pulled over for such things as exceeding the speed limit by two miles per hour or reckless driving. Tickets range from twenty dollars to seventy dollars, depending upon the offense. And the unknown officer in the unmarked police car is not known to go easy on the offender. Students may try crying, pleading their innocence, and throwing fits, but the so- called cop stands his or her ground. So the next time you plan to show off or impress your companion, stop . . . think first . . . then slow down. You don ' t know what might be waiting for you around the next corner. Renee Lyons, a Birmingham police officer, stands by her faithful squad car smirking with satisfaction due to the pleasure of writing another speeding ticket. pholn bv J O ' Malltv PATRONS Stacey Fuller Bill Graham Dr. and Mrs. K.A.

Well, if this situation has ever happend to you, then consider taking a car ride to one of the newest additions to the city of Detroit, Trappers Alley. Trappers Alley is located on Mon- roe street in downtown Detroit, right in the heart of Greektown. It is a single building consisting of three floors that hold many different and entertaining shops where one can spend hours just looking at the great variety of stores. Besides shopping, there is also a whole collection of small cafes, ready to please an exhausted shopper ' s hunger. The types of restaurants one can try are Greek, Chinese, Italian, and delicates- sens, among others. There are also several ice cream and candy shops to satisfy any sweet tooth. When asked what she liked most about Trappers Alley, sophomore Heidi Hatcher said, It ' s a great place to go and be with your friends. It has all kinds of stores to please just about every- body. Although the location of Trappers Alley is not the most convenient, the new mall is slowly becoming more popular with the students of Seaholm. With its pleasant atmosphere and great diversity of restaurants and shops, Trappers Alley is attracting more and more people to downtown Detroit. Blazing brightly in the evening sky. the Trappers Alley sign entices people of all kinds, including Seaholm students, to enter into it ' s magical world of shops and cafes. pho ' o by J O ' Malies COMMUNITY ADS 267 c OMMUNIT Y FOCUS Is People by Kevin Burke FOCUS is a senior high youth group centered at the First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham, made up primar- ily of students in grades 9 through 12. Although FOCUS has a predominantly Seaholm population, many members come from other areas of the Birming- ham community ranging from Farming- ton High to Cranbrook Academy. It is this diversity that gives FOCUS its flavor. FOCUS is geared specifically to accommodate the differences between peoples. The group being Christian, it obviously centers on the teachings of Christ; however, the philosophy followed by the group is more of an unconditional love. It is the ultimate goal of each person in FOCUS to accept others for what they are regardless of race, color, or creed. Popularity is not a concern and, therefore, much of the pressure is alleviated from the members to maintain an image and reputa- tion. Said sophomore Ann Basile, I feel I can open up and talk to people and be myself. FOCUS has grown from 24 active members just two years ago to about 120 active members to date. FOCUS has provided the students of this community with a place to unwind and just be themselves. Amidst this sea of smiling faces, many Seaholm students can be found- This large gathering of Focus members congregated at Camp Skyline with the common goal of facing the growing problem of world hunger.

Oh, the agony of finding your locker, roaming the halls, and searching for classrooms. Whether just entering high school or coming from another school, everyone is in the same boat. The Seaholm counseling office provides assistants to students new to the school. Amy Trees, a student worker in the counseling office, commented, 1 feel if a teenager shows the new students around, they not only get the feel of the school, but they also make a friend. Out-of-class activities are also help- ing the new students adjust. These include such activities as pizza dinners and brunch at school, with the help of counselor Delores Morrow. It ' s great to get together with people who have experienced the fear of the new surroundings, said Stacie Fuller, recently new to Seaholm. At these meetings the students gain a chance to express emotions ranging from the most frightening thing about the first day to the meeting of a new best buddy. When asked to recall her most unpleasant experience, Stacie replied, It had to be eating lunch in an enormous cafeteria with tons of people you want to know but don ' t. Perhaps not all of these uncomfort- able feelings can be eliminated; neverthe- less, with the help of friendly student and staff veterans, most new students will find their adjustment to Seaholm life both smooth and pleasant. Transition from one school to another is never easy, but these fresh faces still know how to have a good time, posing here at one of their Friday night pizza pig-outs. c OMMUNIT F.T.G.: A Star Is Born by Dan Jackson and Jason O ' Malley HOW does the First Theater Guild of the First Presbyterian Church help many students at Seaholm High- School? It prepares them! Oddly enough, many of Seaholm ' s most prominent theatrical talents got their start in Knox Auditorium, F.T.G. ' s home. Senior Cheryl Tomblinson, who had the lead role of Golda in this year ' s production of Fiddler on the Roof, got her first smell of greasepaint and first heard the roar of the crowd when she appeared in F.T.G. ' s produc- tion of Oliver! in 1981. Speaking about her past experience in the group she commented, Community theater, especially F.T.G., was a wonderful first taste of the theater for me. The same goes for junior Ted Halbert who first appeared as the Artful Dodger in the same production of Oliver! Halbert later went on to modeling and several Seaholm produc- tions. Lynne Sherwood, The Actrics co- president said about her experience at F.T.G., It really helped me to gain a better understanding of theater, so I was a little ahead of the game when I came to Seaholm. Indeed she was, for she was one of the many F.T.G. kids who broke tradition when she earned a supporting role in Seaholm ' s Oklahoma! as a freshman. This year Sherwood had a principle role in Fiddler on the Roof as Yenta the Matchmaker. At age five ie. Dan Jackson displays his star quality in F.T.C- ' s production of Cheaper by the Dozen.

Our main goal is to supply the needs of the athletic teams that the Board of Education doesn ' t fund, reported president Pat Hayes. Another of its intentions is to involve the students and above all, the parents, in Seaholm athletic activities. One of the many respected projects the Booster Club should be recognized for this year was their work in the gymnasium. They painted our school colors, maroon and white, over the original orange. This overwhelming task took over one hundred long hours of work and is greatly appreciat- ed by all Seaholm spectators. The funding for the club ' s underta- kings is collected in school dues and , through parents volunteering to work in the concession stands at football and basketball games. The annual spring Jog-a-thon is also a great fund raiser for their projects. The Booster Club ' s contributions in former years consist of new weightroom equipment, eight updated State Cham- pionship banners, revitalized showcases, and a two hundred and fifty dollar athletic scholarship to the most qualified Seaholm student. These school gifts, along with many others, are the fruitful result of the club ' s continued efforts. Sophomore Amy Burch summed it all up. The Booster Club gives impor- tant donations that make noticeable and appreciated betterments in our school. Freshman Clint Bond effortlessly bench presses an immense total weight of approximately fifty pounds of raw steel. This weight lifting equipment was provided by the Boosters. photo bv Jason O ' Malley COMMUNITY ADS 275 Q qmmunit Y A Tonic For Good Health Can 28,000 individuals be wrong? These are the people, both young and old, who participate each year in Birmingham ' s educational pro- gram. In offering a wide range of educa- tional enrichment programs, from sum- mer school to senior citizen activities to enrichment classes, community educa- tion provides a valuable service to the residents of the city. It enriches so many lives, said youth and adult enrichment superviser Barbara Hile, and the learning never ends; it continues through a lifetime. Included in the enrichment program are classes for youths and adults, and a varied selection of recreational activities, which, based on enrollment increases, have become the most popular of all the offerings. A significant spin-off benefit of com- munity education is the job opportunies available in the program. High school students, as well as senior citizens, can apply for such positions as teachers of these enrichment classes, teachers ' aides, life guards and swim instructors. Assistant co-ordinator Marilyn Fergu- son, a strong supporter of Birmingham ' s community education program stressed, If we are not learning and teaching we are not awake and alive. Learning is not only like health, it is health.

Teenage drunk driving has increas- ingly become a serious problem in our community. The Traffic Improvement Association stated that an average of 18 teenagers die each year in the Oakland County area due to drunk driving related accidents. It also said that most of the incidents happened less than ten miles from the homes of those involved between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Is there anything that can be done to stop such unnecessary deaths? In 1984 David Katchman of Birming- ham Groves High School along with Seaholm ' s Mitch Fischer began a student organzation called Safe Rides. Katch- man had heard about it from a high school in Darien, Connecticut. Safe Rides is a service which provides a ride for teenagers who are too intoxicated to drive or who feel their friends are too drunk to drive them home. It is based at the First Presbyter- ian Church and runs between 9:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. I think it has been very successful. I haven ' t heard of many fatal accidents since it started, noted senior Beth Snider. We are building a good reputa- tion in this community and because of it more people know about it and more people use it, asserted junior Simon Tomkinson. Along with Seaholm and Groves, Lahser and Andover are now a part of the Safe Rides family and about six trips are made out into the Birming- ham Bloomfield area each night. That is a sharp increase over the one or two calls received in its first year of opera- tion. And although Safe Rides may not help solve teenage drinking, it helps save Quicklv jotting down the time and exact location of a stranded caller, sophomore Kelly Holden does her part In helping the community by volunteering her Saturday night to Safe Rides. photo by Todd Morton COMMUNITY ADS 279 c OMMUNIT Y Will it Ever be Finished? by Todd Morton This is the question that has plagued everyone ' s mind. Will the People Mover ever be totally finished? After almost 10 years on the drawing boards, Detroit ' s $135 million dollar People Mover hit a stretch of bumpy track in April of 1985 when the Reagan administration told the South- eastern Michigan Transportation Au- thority to stop work on it. The People Mover will be a single- rail, one-car conveyance which would travel a three-mile loop around the downtown area on an elevated monorail. If everything had gone right politically, the People Mover could have been in operation in 1985. It is scheduled to be opened Monday through Saturday from 7a.m. to 2a.m. and on Sundays it will be open from 10a.m. to 6p.m. The fare to ride the People Mover will be 40c. The one-car unit is heated, air-conditione d and will have two spots for wheel chairs. The car will hold up to one hundred people. In case of heavy snows and ice the track can be heated to keep the Mover moving. Sophomore Joe Kopcha stated that it ' s a step in the right direction, maybe they ' ll finish it. Senior Kristin Fitzpatrick added, If the monorail project gets off the ground, 1 think it will be a great boost to Detroit ' s image and economy. The ghostly figure of the unfinished monorail project looms high above a rainy Detroit city street. The People Mover project has been plagued with prob- lems ever since the start.

The degree of recognition given to the holiday was limited in our community, photo courlesy o( Wide World Pholos Ithough Seaholm has proven to be Ready for Anything, the 1985-86 school year brought things for which no one was prepared. Who anticipated the tragic explosion of the shuttle Challenger on January 28? The Mexico Earthquake on September 19, 1985 took the world by surprise and startled the Seaholm community, as students and faculty worried about loved ones there. A surprise which was smaller on the national scale, but made a great impact locally, was the January 31 earthquake which rattled a few locks and shook a few desks in upstairs classrooms.

As Derek Fries, national finalist in the Teacher in Space program explained, The Class of ' 86 has a burden of leadership that they must assume. Through any assumption of leadership there are small risks which unfortunately sometimes result in tragedies. Risks are inherent in anyone ' s stride in making a contribution to society. I ' m confident that the members of the Class of ' 86 will incorporate these events of the year into their lives and assume their burden of leadership. It is not only the graduating seniors who have witnessed these tragedies and have this burden to carry, however. For many, 1985-86 did not bring tragic ends, but the beginning of the race.
