For it isn’t your parents — your children — or wife whose judgement upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think your a straight shooting chum and call you a wonderful guy But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum if you can’t look him straight in the eye. He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest for he’s with you clear up to the end. And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test if the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life and get pats on your back as you pass But your final reward will be heartaches and tears if you’ve cheated the man in the glass. 4 SENIORS • AS THE DAY ENDS AMY SUE BENORDEN M '86 JEFFREY DARRIN DUE TRAVIS RAY DUE GREGORY JOSEPH EKELER SHAWN LEE DUNTZ 6 SO BEGIN THE HOPES REBECCA SUE HARRE RICHARD DEAN KOCA THEODORE JOSEPH HOFFMAN BRENDA BELLE JENSEN ROBERT ANTHONY McCABE 7 REFLECTIONS OF OUR YOUTH 9 AND DREAMS OF TOMORROW n ATHLETICS t VISIONS BECOME REALITIES!

The Exeter Cross Country pro- gram had three individual run- ners for the 1985 season. The three runners were Ted Hoff- man, Tom Shafer, and Mark Miller. In a season filled with sun, snow, and rain, the Ea- gles went to battle in nine meets. Ted, the most success- ful of the three Eagle runners, defeated 439 varsity runners raising his career total to a school record of 1,463 de- feats. All the runners bettered themselves from last year, set- ting new personal records of 15:47, Ted — 18:48, Mark — 21:50, Tom — With the season climax at Ge- neva, host of- the C-1 district meet, Ted won the 5,000 me- ter race by out sprinting the competitors and taking the gold medal.

Their bus sign read: Back By Popular Demand as they travelled to Lincoln to defeat Adams, Sidney St. Pats and finally Beemer in a nerve-racking 63-55 win. A standing- room-only crowd filled with nearly every Exeter citizen and alumni cheered for three days in support of the Eagles. The boys took home the State Championship Trophy, the Lincoln Journal Champion- ship Plaque and set a few records along the way. Ben Horne scored 83 points to set a new State Tourney individual record. The Team shot for 87 points against Sid- ney to establish a record in Team scoring. The most impressive precedent set was the double championship in class D-1 with both Exeter Girls and Boys Teams taking State Titles. The excitement, pride and accomplishments the 1986 Exeter Boys Basketball Team brought to this community will never be forgotten! Thanks Guys!! 20 BY POPULAR DEMAND!!

Some highlights of their season were winning the Stromsburg Inv., winning the CRC Tourn. and avenging their earlier loss to Marquette.
