J j This 1987 yearbook is structured around the theme “It’s a jammin’ situation.” Just as music plays its role in every life, we believe this theme successfully represents our years in high school. Because music is an especially important part of every student’s life, we felt that we could use it to realistically present the happenings of the year. It seems to always be in the back of our minds, regardless of whether or not our fifth hour study hall teacher allows us radio privi- leges. The tunes may have vulgar lyrics that some of us are thankfully unable to understand. However, just as often we hear subtle lyrics that motivate romance or melancholy feelings in us. It is this versatility that first attracted us to the chosen theme. In a way music personifies the diverse student body at FHS. Each of us has our own likes and dislikes where tunes are con- cerned, and our tastes in music are an original as our fingerprints. Music is and will continue to be the most relied upon form of expression in our generation. No matter what the mood or thought, there lurks on some album or cassette a song that seems to say exactly what we feel. In a similar manner we have attempted to use music to express not only a historical record of this year but also a memoir of the moods and mannerisms of 1987. 1. Waiting for classes to begin are juniors Ron Johnson and Teresa Robertson. 2. Taking a rest during a pep rally is senior Valerie Hill. 3.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES We must strive to do our best in everything we attempt. Although the ball doesn’t always bounce the way we want it to, we can profit from our failures as well as our successes. TRUE COLORS -trul Colors Como WN VS sjjodg jamuing Softball Success through preseverance best describes this Trojanette season. After losing to the Ottumwa Bulldogs for the past twelve years of the FHS Trojanette Softball program, they came back to defeat the Bulldogs for the first time in 46 games by 3 to 1 in the second game of a doubleheader. Determination was also a key factor in their own invitational softball tournament. The Trojanettes bounced back after a first round loss with two wins in the second round to place fifth. Diana Repp was named MVP for the Trojan- ettes Softball team. Baseball The Fairfield High School varsity baseball team ended their season with a record of 19-11, winning the conference championship. The all conference first team included: Tim Jackson, short stop and MVP of the conference; Dave Christner, utility; Mike Dailey, designated hitter; Mike Lance, 3rd base; David Brush, pitcher; with Mark Dougherty as 2nd team all district pitcher. Awarded special recognition were Jackson, Most Valuable Player; Brad Holst, the Brad Wickliff Award; Mike Lance, Most Improved; Dave Christner, Attitude Award; and Mike Dai- ley, Rookie of the year. Three of the Fairfield Varsity Baseball Season Records were broken in 1986. Most Homeruns broke 1976’s record of 20 by 1. The Highest Batting Average broke 1985’s record of 311 by 29. Most RBI’s broke 1985’s record of 171 by 13. 1. Junior Marty Kennedy is ready for anything that comes her way. 2. Look at that form, as shown by Mike Lance. 3.

The gridders began the season with a win over Chariton 35-7. They trampled Norwalk at home 41-0. The Trojans continued their winning streak with a 41-0 blank over Keokuk. A tough Mt. Pleasant squad dealt Fairfield its first loss 3- 14. The Homecoming game against a very big and physical Algona Garrigan ended in a 8-28 loss for the Trojans. “The Algona Garrigan game showed us the importance of lifting weights. They were a very physically tough team,” said assistant coach Rich Reever. In a heartbreaker at Washington, the Demons defeated Fairfield with a score of 30-28. Howev- er, the Trojans came back to blank a good Ot- tumwa team 17-0. Next the team defeated Ft. Madison with a score of 38-6. For the final game of the season, Fairfield beat Oskaloosa 44-26. The team voted Brent Krumboltz, M.V.P.; Joel Schillerstrom, Most-Improved; Mike Rob- erts, Best Offensive Lineman; Kent Gilpin, Best Defensive Lineman; Mike Daily, Best Offensive Back; Shane Kramer, Best Defensive Back. Rob Phipps set a new school record with his 5 field goals, the longest one being 47 yards. Reever sums up the season with these words, “We were disappointed we didn’t have a better record, but I was very happy with the progress we made throughout the year.” Football 1.

During the Friday afternoon pep assembly, junior foot- ball player Jason Espy received a light fluffy kiss(pie) from his favorite cheerleader, his mom. 3 As Homecoming week arrived, the festivities got off on the right foot with students participat- ing in Spirit Week. The themes included: Nerd, New Wave, Pajama, College, and Jersey (orange black) Days. During the Thursday night pep rally, Sindy Crockett was crowned Homecoming Queen. The assembly Friday afternoon held the air of anticipation as the sophomore class was crowned winner of the Spirit Week class compe- tition. The rally continued on the square as Caro- lyn Louden (Icebox) and Roger McHone (McMa- hon) announced the winners of the Baby Picture Contest. Dressed as Bears football players, Lou- den and McHone sang the Homecoming Shuffle. The winners were as follows; third place was Phil Griener, second place was Bryan Owens, and first place went to Rob Hoskins. Long time sports booster, Jim Kennedy, motiviated the crowd with his pep talk. Student Council members were involved in decorating the gym and contacting previous queen candidates who were recognized before the football game. The 20-28 Algona Garrigan victory dampened many spirits. Although the football game was cold and the team defeated, the Homecoming Dance was a great success with the help of KRNA, who provided the music. 13 Girls Experienced seniors were the key to a victori- ous season for the Trojanette runners. Seniors Shari Essary, Angela Fritz, Dian Peaslee, and Amber Stump helped to lead the team to six first place finishes and four second place standings. Rounding out the varsity roster was sophomore Christi McNeeley and freshman Jackie Kelley. The varsity team capped off the regular season with a second place finish at Districts and a ninth place showing at State. It was the team’s third trip to the State meet. Dian Peaslee was named the Most Valuable Runner and Shari Essary was named Captain. The Junior Varsity runners also had a winning season with many team victories. Boys It was a learning season for the boys cross country team with underclassmen Jason Koch and Shawn Ozimek leading the team. They placed first in the Fairfield Triangular over Pekin and Cardinal. As the season progressed, the boys’s times got faster and they made significant improvements. By the end of the season the boys were defeating teams that had beaten them early in the year. Jason Koch was named Most Valuable Runner and John Graber was named Captain. 14 1. Senior John Graber accepts his award for team captain from Coach McHone. 2.

Even though they lost their first match in the tournament, the girls left their mark on the map for Fairfield volleyball. In order to achieve their goals, the team had to work hard. In daily practices they learned the fundamental basics: bump, set and spike. In ad- dition they improved themselves through repeti- tion, communication drills, game strategies and scrimmages. Nancy Rolston, head coach, and Carolyn Lou- den, assistant coach, were there to see the girls through practices and games. This was Rol- ston’s first year of coaching the Fairfield team. Originally from Sheldon, Iowa, she arrived at the beginning of the year to replace former head coach Judy Schwartz. Describing the girls as enthusiastic and full of energy, Rolston felt the team taught her while she coached them. “The program keeps building every year. When we lose our senior players, we can count on replacing them because every class learns at the same level. It may mean better seasons in the future.” At the annual banquet, Vicki Allison was named VMP for the season. The 1986 Captains award went to Sindy Crockett and Jill Lingwall. 1987 Captains were named as being Vicki Alli- son and Tina Emerson. The Most Improved award went to Angela Collum. The Spirit Award recipient was Marty Kennedy. The Hustle award went to Tina Campbell, and the Coaches’ Award went to Jill Lingwall and Tricia Van Fleet. 1. Varsity team - Row 1: V. Allison, T.

The family shows affection between spats. “Hayfever,” an English comedy by Noel Cow- ard, was produced by the Drama Club as their fall play. In salute to Iowa Homecoming “86” director Scott Slechta chose this comedy, be- cause it was performed in 1978 on the FHS stage. The action takes place in 1920 in the manor hall of David Bliss in England. One weekend David and Judith Bliss and their two children Simon and Sorel each invites a house guest with- out telling the others. This causes complete cha- os during the weekend. The Bliss hosts and hostesses with their corre- sponding guests were as follows; David, the Fa- ther, invites a young woman, Jackie. Judith, the Mother, asks Sandy, a young man, to visit her. The daughter, Sorel, invites Richard. The son, Simon, invites Myra. During a game of “Act That Word,” each guest is paired off with a different family mem- ber, causing a great deal of confusion. In the end the family continues to argue amongst themselves to the place where the guests are tired of listening to them. During another family argument the guests all sneak out and leave the house. Then the family blames each other for the guests’ leaving. 21 1. Building a stairway isn’t that easy; just ask junior Mindy Ancell and senior Mike Dodds. 2.

BEHIND THE SCENES A person who only saw a performance of “Hayfever” would assume that only a handful of students were involved. Actually, the play in- volved over 50 students. Crews played an im- portant part in the development of the play. The set crew required the most participation because of the detail involved in the creating set. Walls had to be set up, painted. Platforms and stairs had to be constructed. Also envolved in production were make-up, publicity, lights, design, publicity, costume, props, and Homecoming reception crews. Stage manager was Polly Adam and student director was Valerie Hill. Both girls helped the crews pull the technical portion of the play together. FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS Varsity football cheerleaders lead the crowds in team spirit. The cheerleaders put in a lot of time after school. They made locker posters, decorated the halls, and practiced the cheers. They also learned the routine to the school song and had fundraisers, such as carwashes, bake sales and selling Homecoming buttons. Varsity football cheerleaders were Lisa Unk- rich, Trade Unkrich, Tabatha Carlson, Jane Copeland, Amy Goodwin, Jennifer Pohren and Lynette Williams. 22 Despite the controversy whether or not to have gymnastics next year, the gymnastics pro- gram will continue for one more year before it ends. The problem originated with a lack of participants and interest. Only seven FHS girls and seven FJHS girls went out for it this year. Nevertheless, the girls pulled in an overall season record of 5-2. Stacy Kessel said, “There were a lot of injuries but it made us work harder which helped us reach our goal to go to the Sectionals.” Coaches Lee Crew and Carolyn Louden as- sisted in shaping the team’s potentials. Next year seems promising because every letter win- ner girl will be back except for one senior. The recipients of the awards given out are as follows: Sarah Hennesy-Captain Award; Laurie Neff-Most improved; Heather Nicola-Rookie; Congeniality-Jennifer Hampton; and Cindy Law- son Award (gymnast of the year)-Mindy Ancell and Sarah Hennesy. 1. “This is a rush, says junior Jenny Hampton. 2.

Ready to start another strenuous match is Tim Horras. Practice and determination describe the wres- tling team. Coaches Tom White, Roger McHone, Phil Gevock and Joe Fritz led the team to 6 wins and 3 losses. An idea that was new this year was to have a hero for every match. Ron Drish was the hero for the Ft. Madison meet, Tom Pohren upset Gibson in Keokuk, Brad Waugh beat senior Jeff Palmer in Ottumwa and Jeremy Nicola pinned Gary Stout in Washington. In Davis County Chad McCleary was the hero; in Sigourney the hero was Tom Spalla, a freshman; and Bill Glenn had a technical fall on Andy Price of Burlington. The support of the entire team made the wrestling team a success. The Co-captains were Ed Bryant and Bill Glenn with Tom Pohren being the honorary captain. The outstanding J.V. award was given to Brad Waugh; Most Improved Wrestler’s award to Nick Sams; Rookie of the year to Ed Bryant; Most Determined Wrestler award to Jason Lauritsen; and Most Valuable Wrestler went to Bill Glenn. Going to state is not a chance that all wrestlers get often, but Nick Sams, Bill Glenn, Jason Laur- itsen and Tom Pohren went this season. As well as going to state Bill Glenn set 4 records for the most takedowns (142), most near fall points (132), most individual points (437), and his career record of 85-16-1. 27 Returning just two starting forwards from last year’s 3rd place team, the Trojanettes restacked the deck and came up with a winning hand. Head Coach Dan Breen, in his 15th year of coaching has compiled an awesome 313-56 ca- reer win loss record. The Trojanettes remained unbeaten in 93 consecutive home games and won the conference outright. Fairfield is the only team that has won a girl’s basketball conference title in the Southeast Seven. The Trojanettes ended the regualar season undefeated in 20 games. Teams such as Ankeny, Indianola, and Waukee were no match for the players. But maybe everyone’s eyes were too far down the road when in the semifinal round of sectional play, the second-ranked Trojanettes were upset by rival Ottumwa. The dream of a 6th straight trip to the state tournament was shattered. Diana Repp, the first forward from Fairfield to be named 1st Team All-State, received the Out- standing Senior and Most Valuable Player Awards. Repp averaged nearly 34 points and totaled over 2500 points in her career at FHS. Amber Stump, two-year starter, was the recipi- ent of Shiela Stoltz Award for Consistently Out- standing Performance. Seniors Dian Peaslee and Kim Hall received the Most Improved while Ju- nior Tina Emerson and senior Sindy Crockett received the 100 percent award. Shari Essary’s contributions in both the forward and guard courts earned her the Versatile Award. 28 Girls Basketball 1. Poised and ready, senior Diana Repp aims for the hoop. 2.

Taking a well deserved rest at the free throw line is senior Darin Freudenburg, Most Valuable Player. The 1986-87 boys’ basketball season proved exciting as the Trojans finished with fourteen wins and six losses. They also ended up as the co-champions of the southeast seven, a title in which they shared with Washington. Senior Darin Freudenberg was elected as the team’s most valuable player. The captain position was taken by Brad Holst. The other award was the newcomer of the team and this award was presented to senior Brent Bower. Two games that the boys’ team will look back on with pride were the defeat of Washington and the thrashing of Cedar Rapids LaSalle. The Washington Demons hosted the Trojans with the hope of keeping their win streak alive which now stood at thirty-two. After concentrating on the Demons in practice for a week, the Trojan team was eager to play. The game was a nail-biter all the way through the game but Washington were the last ones biting their nails as the Trojans came away victorious 65-63. The next game the Trojans played really well was the victory over LaSalle. The Trojans had been previously beaten by the Lancers. The Trojans came out psyched up and it showed as the Trojans took the lead and never looked back. The Trojans had a successful year and for every player the good memories will outweigh the bad. This Trojan team was good! 1 With this much intensity how could we lose the game? 2 Playing tough defense on the in bound pass is sophomore Mike Dailey. 3.

Spring Play Hundreds of elementary children squealed with delight during a Wednesday matinee as Fox in a Fix was performed for the second time on the FHS stage. In cooperation with Iowa Home- coming 1986-87, director Scott Slecta revived the Chinese fairy tale performed in 1967, and invited back all cast and crew members. “It was interesting meeting the characters from twenty years ago and hearing how they interpreted their characters. They had some en- tertaining memories too,” smiled Valerie Hill (Brown Fox). The play was performed May 15, 16, and 17, with a matinee for area schoolchildren May 13. Attendance was not as expected due to the beautiful May weather. To the dismay of the director, the cast took it upon themselves to ad lib during the last perfor- mance. Although the audience took little notice, the cast was nonetheless entertained. “I think it was great doing the matinee for the kids. Just hearing their laughter brightened the whole performance!” said Marty Kennedy (Go- dess Niang-Niang). i Kerry Schryba Jason Lauritsen Sarah Hennesy Marty Kennedy Kristin Kurtz Mindy Ancell Valerie Hill Tina Clough Bryce Stever Jeff Gillaspie White Fox Fairy Wu Sing Lady Lotus Blossom Goddess Niang-Niang Propwoman Su Chee Second Brown Fox First Brown Fox Ho Ling Mandarin Chu 1.

The Trojans continued their competitive spirit as many organizations entered contests. These groups set their goals and worked hard to reach them. Many people went to contests as soloists or competed only with their desire to do well. All Speakers Club members received I ratings at district level. At the state level twenty-two divi- sion 1 ratings were achieved, also five students including Polly Adam, Tina Emerson, Bill Ling- wall, Don Burgess, and Kerry Schryba received outstandings. The chorus was proud to have Amber Stump and Sarah Hennesy chosen for All-State Chorus. The band had nine soloists receive division I ratings. Two groups also received a I rating, they were drum ensemble and the french horn duet. Contests What a year! The girl’s track team had a very successful year. They took their districts by storm and nearly doubled everyones score. Leading the Trojans this year was Amber Stump. Amber won the state in the 400 hurdles and placed fourth in 100 hurdles. Others who ran at state were Diane Peaslee in the 800, the 1600 meter medley, 4 100, 4 200, 4 800, 4 400, Sprint medley, and Diana Repp threw the shot and discus quite well. iv‘ 1. Racing in the baton relay is Rita Wadle. 2. Doing their best to keep up are Angie Fritz and Heather Zaragoza. 3. Leading his team in the 400 meter run is Shawn Ozimek. 4. Finishing in first place is Amber Stump. 5. Rob Hughes exercises Jim Nelson’s legs before officially warming up. 6. The teammates bolster each other up as they get ready for the track meet. 40 4 Track The Trojans tracksters had a fairly successful year. The track team had fun as they also ran very well. Anyone who was a trackster will remember the cookout at Centerville and all the other goofy things! Consistent runners this year were the team’s leading point getter Shawn Ozmiek, Rob McCracken, Jason Koch, and Chu Higgins. Throwing the shot and discus quite well was Jim Singer. The Trojans best finish at a track meet was a second place finish at the “A” club relays. The only run sent to state was Jason K3ch in the 800. Tennis The Boy’s Tennis team put one of the youn- gest Fairfield teams ever on the court this year. It didn’t have any seniors after graduating their top two players, but they did manage to return four lettermen from the previous year. Being mainly a rebuilding season the boys did quite well taking their team to substate. This gives them a solid base to start, looking forward to an experienced team for next year. “Tennis is a fun sport. Like any other, you have to work hard, and if you do you can get a lot out of it,” according to sophomore Natalie Herzog. The Girl’s Tennis team had graduated several players last year and lost the number two player, Jane Cartwright, when she moved out of town. Taking this, and the poor preseason weather into consideration the young team proved them- selves to be energetic and capable of meeting a challenge. 1. Poised and ready to hit the ball is junior Jon Gillaspie. 2. Having the ball right where he wants it is junior Darian Rogers. 3. Keeping her eye on the ball is sophomore Katie Pohren. 4. “What is the ball doing way down there,” wonders junior Kirk Watson. 5. Practicing her backhand is senior Sindy Crockett. 6. Warming up for substate is sophomore Matt Hedger. 7. Blinded by the light, but making a fantastic return is senior Jill Lingwall. BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM Don Burgess Jon Gillaspie Darian Rogers Kirk Watson Matt Elliot Matt Hedger Scott Holmes Shawn McCarty Matt Patton Cary Justman 5 The Trojan golf team had nice weather to practice in this year. There were several seniors on the team and among them was Rob Phipps who made the SE7- All-Conference and was also the captain� of the team. Although the team record was 3 and 7, there are some experienced players coming back next year with high hopes of a successful season. 1. Darin Freudenburg is getting ready to putt. 2. Everything is judged and directed as is shown by junior Jason Espy. 3. Judging where his ball went during a meet is junior Doug Kelley. 4. “That’s where I wanted it to go,” thinks junior Doug Kelley. 5. Still in position after a swing is senior Rob Phipps.

Most couples began the festivities by eating at the nicer area restaurants and pa- rading their formal-wear, as uncomfortable as it was. The junior class did an excellent job with decorations considering their limited funds. Pink and silver streamers and balloons set the atmo- sphere and the music set the mood. There were also a decorated entrance tunnel and pink back- drops to support the theme “Never Say Good- bye.” Following the formal dance a car caravan snaked its way to the Co-Ed where each couple was video-taped on the way in. After the show- ing of “Top Gun” dresses and tuxes were changed for jeans and a dance was offered at the Elks Club, by local service organizations. The evening went swiftly by and the morning found most people drowsy-eyed. The stars faded from the night sky just as the stars faded from the girls’ eyes at the end of a most memo- rable night. 1. Preparations are just part of the big day and picking up his corsage is junior Shawn Morrissey. 2. The Wild Rose was a popular place to go eat as shown by Jenny Hampton and Phil Greiner. 3.

A Kyra Well, we finally made it. Now, we can take time to look back on all the hours we spent toiling over homework and other activities. We can remember the tears we shed and the pain we endured as elements that made us successful. We are now going our separate ways but we are bound to meet again. Always remember “Our success of tomorrow is the realization of the dream we have today.” Graduation On May 31, one-hundred and forty-six seniors walked across the graduation platform to re- ceive their diplomas. Graduation day started with a continental breakfast at 7:30 before pro- ceeding into Baccalaureate at 8:00. Senior Chrissy Mullison performed a flute solo and Darin Freudenberg and Amber Stump sang a duet. During the ceremonies, Brad Holst urged the seniors to reach their potential while Staci Wil- son humored the crowd with her speech “Tied For First.” Many tears were shed when the com- mencement speaker, Carole Harder, made us believe in our dreams. With the changing of the tassels, 146 students were no longer students at the Fairfield High School. 1. “It’s hard to practice for graduation during a windy day,” thinks Jodi Stoltz. 2. During a quiet moment, Staci Wilson, senior speaker, takes time to remember the past year. 3. Taking it easy during commencement practice are Shane Kramer and Jessica Koch. 4. Commencement speaker, Carole Harder, tells the sen- iors to take time and thank Mom and Dad. 5. With the help of Jason Lauritsen, Lynette Potter and Misty Pruden practice walking on the stage. 6. Class speaker.

Activities included dis- ecting mammals in Anatomy and Biology, acid and base labs in chemistry and properties of matter in physics. Biology students “get back to nature” in the fall and spring with field trips through Whitam Woods and Jefferson County Park. “The scenery was great. 1 think it’s good for us (students) to experience some of the things we’re reading in books,” said one sophomore. The Science students did get a little “back to nature” without leaving their rooms when there was little or no heat for a few days due to a broken heater. Teachers varied everyday paperwork with these and other labs to make a worthwhile and interesting school year. The purpose of math is not to aggravate the student’s mind, but, to teach that mind to under- stand and think a problem through. Many stu- dents are capable of substituting values into a formula, but few really know what it means. To teach understanding is the purpose of arithmetic. Computer Programming I taught the BASIC language, while Computer Programming II advanced to the PASCAL language. These computer classes also got to interview a pro- grammer from Falco; an extra bonus for those considering a career in computers even Algebra students couldn’t escape the computer age as they used computers to graph parabolas. According to Mrs. Flinspach, “Geometry can be viewed this way; we live in a world which is orderly and logical, in which we are unwilling to accept statements as true, but instead, we criti- cally question events in nature and mathemat- 1.

During Physics class, Jason Lauritsen and Brent Bower set up their balloon lab. 6. Showing he's all heart is senior Shawn Hickey. 6 57 English And Tutoring 58 Since 1977 tutoring has been an important part of the Fairfield High School program. The basis of the tutoring program was created by Mr. Broz in hopes of decreasing the drop- out rate. With the help of a three year grant books were purchased specifically for stu- dents being tutored. Mr. Broz feels that peo- ple who need tutoring should be tutored for one hour a day. The purpose of this is to improve reading abilities and keep students from getting behind in their studies so they will not drop out of school. This year Mrs. Knapp and Mrs. Messer were tutor aides. There were also approximately 60 juniors and seniors who devoted their time to help classmates with their studies. At the end of the year not only were the tutors rewarded with a certificate but the students being tu- tored received the self satisfaction of improv- ing. English 10 classes, including the research paper, was a preview of the writing and litera- ture classes required of upper classmen. Writ- ing Lab consistently called for varying types of essays. It was not uncommon to find jour- nalism students thumbing through Glamour Magazine creating original advertisements. British Literature selections are among the classes went on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and many are pieces the college-bound stu- dent will be expected to know, said teacher Mrs. Marker. As a new project the British Lit. classes went on a pilgrimage to Canterberry Cathedral wearing appropriate costumes. The other literature class is American Litera- ture where students read The Scarlet Letter by romantic author Nathanial Hawthorne. 1. Are Marcy Goettsche and Shawn Schillerstrom really helping each other study? 2. I think the chocolate chip cookies taste much better than the oatmeal, states junior Mandy Ancell to Tina Emerson. 3. Analyzing the Quad City Times in journalism class are juniors Mike Peck and John Jensen. 4. Traveling to Canterbury to pay honor to Saint James Thomas Becket are juniors Jon Gillaspie, Jeff Gillaspie. Mike Andre and Chad McCleary. 5. With the help of Mrs. Messer, Amy Deutsch com- pletes her homework assignments. 6. Pausing for a moment at the shrine are Mike Andre and Jon Gillaspie. 59 60 History classes at F.H.S. aren’t restricted to just the studies of Napoleon or Washington. Themes, Government, Western civilization, World cultures and U.S. History 3 and 4 are just six of the different history classes available to students. Themes, one of the newer history classes, takes the student’s interests close at hand. The class chose what it wanted to work on. Ranging from religion to music. It is felt that the studies of the other area in our lives is just as important as studies of wars, people and countries. A highlight for the Western civilization class was a five to six week simulation of the French Revolution the students “lived” in France during 1789 and experienced the social, financial and political tensions that occurred to royalty, the clergy, nobles, bourgeoisie and peasants. The students had power to change their political situ- ations and the power to decide the fate of their King, Louis the XVI. A majority of the history classes bring in out- side sources of information to the classrooms. Guest speakers brought in first hand experiences about the Vietnam war, which couldn’t be read in any textbooks. Add, subtract, multiply and divide, the basics are back in business! Concentration, skill, and patience are all needed in the business classes. Accounting 1 and II, Marketing and Manage- ment, and Consumer Economics all deal with the financial side of business. Typing classes help students develop speed and accuracy at the typewriter. Speedwriting helps them develop speed and accuracy in writ- ing. Business classes prepare students not just for a single category but for many positions in the working world. 1. Listening intently to Hardee’s manager Bob Harvey in Marketing and Management class are seniors Kay Sirdor- eus, Jenni Roney and Richard Teeter. 2. Calculating the account balances are seniors Robert Hatton and John Shondel. 3. Leading the discussion on communism is Western Civil- ization teacher Roger McHone. 4. Completing his Western Civ assignment is sophomore Dustin Rodibaugh. 5. Presenting the aspects of accounting is Mr. Cartwright. President of FALCO. 61 Fine Arts provided a change of pace from the daily routine of academic classes. The fine arts classes allowed students to use their creativity while still earning credits. Fine arts included dra- matics, music appreciation, and art classes. Dramatics centered on theater history and learning behind-the-scenes work that goes into play productions. Each student chose one play and made a notebook of sketches including cos- tumes, sets and samples of posters and pro- grams that would be used for that play as if he was directing it. Music history was the basis of music apprecia- tion class. Exposure to different styles of music was stressed, not the memorization of dates and names. The class was divided into four categor- ies of rock, musical theater, classical, and jazz. Art is a general topic for several classes in- cluding sketching, print making, and drawing. These classes gave students a chance to work individually at their own pace. Foreign language study intrigued many stu- dents, especially around the holidays. Foods from native countries were prepared and eaten by the students. “Buchede Noel” or yulelog is commonly served in France around Christmas. Spanish, as well as French, is the study of verbs, vocabulary and language usage from the very basics. Fourth year Spanish class climaxes with readings of: The Cid and Don Quixote. Third year French classes read two short novels: Le Petit Prince and Maigret Tend un Piege. Spain, Mexico, France and Belgium were among some of the countries studied in the for- eign language program. Students were given in- sight into the cultures of each country. 1.

In the library working on computers are Spanish II student Dina Jarr and teacher Mrs. Harris. Gym And Driver’s Ed Physical education classes opted for a variety of activities and sports. A usual class begins with a five minute warm up, then on to such activites as archery, softball, global ball and football. Stu- dents also had a bowling unit in which they bowled at Flamingo Lanes. “The key is variety and enjoyment. Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore,” states girls’ P.E. teacher Carolyn Louden. Gym classes used circuit training to vary the warm-ups. At each exercise station students did a different exercise, then ran a minute around the gym. This was repeated five times. It seemed to make just running for five minutes around the gym more entertaining. All in all, students were graded on participa- tion in class, written tests over the units, and attitude. Driver’s Education gives sophomores the op- portunity to learn the proper techniques and fundamentals of driving. Instructors Curt Han- sen and Herb Justmann teach the course which includes classroom discussions, films, simulation, and actual driving. The goal of the class is to “provide a foundation of safe driving skills that students can build on as they become more ex- perienced drivers,” explained Hansen. The class stressed defensive driving. 1. Eager to practice driving skills is sophomore Tim Kiefer. 2. Are the streets safe with sophomores Kerri Danielson and Carrie Hahn? 3. Showing his perfect bowling is junior David Diers. 4. Boogieing to the Bus Stop are sophomores Dustin Rodibaugh, senior Terry Hanshaw, junior Justin Martin, and P.E. instructor Rich Reever. 5. Clapping the Charleston are students in sixth hour phys- ical education. 65 66 Vo-Ag was active this year working on class projects and studying horticulture. To salute National FFA Week, the students served breakfast to the faculty at the high school. They served pancakes, bacon, coffee and milk. Vo-Ag wasn’t all work though. The students also challenged the Young Farmers to a night of volleyball in the high school gym where the Young Farmers were victorious over the youn- ger generation. Vo-Ag is not only for guys. Girls were also enrolled in the class, which was taught by Keith Wells. The Home Economics department offers 8 elective courses to help the students gain a prac- tical approach to daily decision making. Stu- dents are able to apply their lessons to field trips and labs. They have individual projects such as conducting their own preschool. Other projects include parent panels, children visiting, market surverys, and private home tours. Learning to use resource people is a main goal for classes as they work with contractors, interior decorators, store managers, and beauty consultants. Stu- dents learn the practical approaches to today’s life and applications for their futures. 1. Beth Ferrel and Yvette Rebling pose with the saw horses they made in vo-ag class. 2. Kelly Nicholson and John Thomson stand beside the tree planted in memory of Stacy Nelson and Rob Boese. 3. Entering the FFA Horticulture building is junior Steve Winslow. 4. Helping grade school children hang their coats up is senior Kristin Klepinger. 5. Filling out a market order for Foods and Nutrition class is Natalie Parise. 67 68 Electricity, Electronics, Machine Woodwork- ing, Advanced Woodworking, Engineering, and Drawing I, II and III are the classes of Industrial Arts. These classes have practical value and are also the student’s preparation for skills they will need in industry. Most of the projects are as- signed and some are selected by the students. The students are graded by how well they use the machines and how the projects look and function. There are approximately 15-20 stu- dents in every Industrial Arts class. At the end of the year the Rockwell Award is given to the outstanding shop student. Auto Mechanics has been in the curriculum since 1975. In this class the students learn to overhaul engines, transmission overhauls (man- ual and automatic), and in the last couple of years computer control on cars. They also learn how to repair brakes, suspension, front-end alignment, and air conditioning. In the future these skills will be used by the students in their everyday lives. “Vocational programs work with local indus- tries to direct program’s curriculums so that stu- dents develop the skills needed to enter the job market,” said Mr. Smithburg. “Auto Mechanics prepares me to enter col- lege and find a good job,” stated Darren Davis- son. 1. Sanding down his wood project is junior Paul Kessel. 2. “If I could only get this thing fixed are the thoughts of senior Jim Quale. 3. Laying on his back underneath a car is senior Mike Roberts. 4. “Hey Phil, ya sure you know what your doing over there? states senior Mike Skirvin to Phil Greiner. 5. Pointing out what is wrong with the block to Terry Eckwall is auto mechanics instructor Dennis Smithburg. 6. “Well guys, what should we do next to the car?” 7.

The FHS chorus had a virtual cornucopia of performances this year. Programs include a sa- lute to the Statue of Liberty on the eve of her rededication, a Christmas Concert, a Pops and Spring Concert, and a Madrigal Dinner Theatre presented with the drama department. “The senior class is very experienced and providing good leadership,” said director Linda Mitchelltree, “They (the chorus) are very patient as we try to get organized in a room that isn’t large enough.” Amber Stump and Sarah Hennesy were se- lected out of the 12 students whofiuditioned for All-State Chorus. The girls performed in Hilton Coleseium, Ames. Two swing choirs entered state competition and both received Division II ratings. This hundred-member group is the largest Mit- chelltree has ever directed. “They are very en- thusiastic; I enjoy them.” 74 Jazz Band The jazz-band is a group of trumpets, trombones, saxaphones, drums, a bass, piano, and a director. Each plays a large role in the syncopated rhythm of ragtime music. The jazz band played for many occasions at school as well as for concerts. They played for the Christmas school program, and a pops concert for the fourth, fifth and sixth graders. The small ensem- ble played a part in the pops concert open to everyone and performed the spring band concert. The jazz-band competed in Jazz Mania in Pella and also in Washington. The members worked hard on those early Tues- day and Thursday mornings but they were reward- ed with the feeling of accomplishment. 1. Jazz Band: Front row: P. Rauscher, C. Fritts, R. Barton, S.

The band per- formed many halftime shows during the football season. The members spent their Tuesday and Thursday nights practicing in all weather condi- tions. During the winter the band kept busy by playing at basketball games and wrestling match- es. Year round, weather permitting, the band marched in parades, including the Octoberfest at Ottumwa. While keeping busy with sports activi- ties the band spent time practicing for concerts. They played a Christmas concert, a pops con- cert and a spring concert. Single members of the band worked on their own time for contests including Honor band tryouts, Ottumwa’s Solo day and small group contest. After a full year of hard work the band was rewarded with a trip to Disney World in Florida June 11 to 17. While there, the band marched at Sea World, Walt Disney World and EPCOT Cen- ter. Wrapping up the trip the band had a barbe- que on the beach. Each member earned his or her own way by helping with the sales of cleaner, cheese and sausage. Also to give each person a chance to earn some extra money there was a walk-a-thon. 77 Pom — Pon Pom pon began in 1970. The squad over the years has consisted of as few as five girls in 1971 to the squad of 16 girls this year. Member Valer- ie Hill said, “Pom pon gives me a chance to work toward a goal and see it through the final product. It makes me feel good to know that other people appreciate the hard work we put into our routines.” Practicing about six hours each week, the girls choreographed and learned all the routines themselves, sometimes having less than two weeks to learn a routine. In addition, the squad attended camps and entered competitions. Most of their hard work paid off in getting a Spirit Award and the 3rd place trophy in large pom- pon division at State. To help clarify the differences between pom- pon and cheerleading, sponsor Mrs. Peiffer said, “The pom-pon girls are an extension of the band and the cheerleaders are a part of the athletic department. The purpose of pom pon is to en- tertain while the cheerleaders are to lead school spirit.” Twirling “Ah, look how high that toss is. How is she ever going to catch it? Oops, she didn’t” That doesn’t seem to be the case with anyone in the FHS twirling routines. According to band and twirler director Ron Prill, “They obviously are doing more dance steps, more contemporary rhythmic routines and less twirling.” The twirlers were Sarah Hennesy, Rita Wadle, Theresa Goehing, Amy Luzadder, Wendy Hoskins, and Katie Pohren. They chose the music for half- time performances and choreographed all the routines themselves. Sarah Hennesy comments, “We like the freedom we have with our routines and we do different things than most twirling squads.” 78 1.

The first competition was at district level which proved to be a great success as every member received a 1 rating. The mem- bers then progressed to the state level. The club did well with six division II ratings and twenty- two division I ratings. Five of the members re- ceived outstandings including Polly Adam, Tina Emerson, Jill Lingwall, Don Burgess, and Kerry Schryba. Another responsibility of Speakers’.Club was to produce the Voice of FHS every Saturday at 8:15 a.m. on KMCD. The programs were news briefs of the previous and coming week’s events. A new addition to the show was the teacher of the week, a personal interview with a teacher about his or her life as a whole. A great year for Speakers; club members end- ed with a banquet. Announcements were made by officers and medals were given out for I ratings at state. Language Clubs French Club highlighted their year again with the annual French potluck picnic. The May weather was a bonus to the feast held at Chatau- qua Park. Many students volunteered to bring various courses of a meal. After dinner three members and a non-member told about their journey through France in April. They visited France with two other schools as a part of Vistas in Education. Los Gringos, commonly called the Spanish Club had a meeting early in the year that elected the officers to head the activities of the 1986-87 school year. The members sold Avent calendars at Christmas time, helped with concessions at basketball games, and worked the ice cream machine during lunch. The members decided to spend this money on some well deserved festivi- ties. In December, they went caroling at the nursing homes following with a trip to the Pizza Hut to warm up. A Spanish Christmas was cele- brated at the home of Mrs. Skaggs in which the traditional breaking of the pinata was done. 80 1. French Club, Row 1: C. Hahn, L. Griffin, L. Martin, S. Kessel, K.

Besides the fall, winter and spring productions they had several fund raisers. They put the money raised toward trips to Chicago to watch a dinner theater and to Minniapolis to see the classic “A Christmas Car- ol.” All of their time and efforts paid off though. Nine groups were able to go to the districts in large group speech contest. Five of which ad- vanced to state speech where two received divi- sion I ratings ratings. The program has estab- lished itself with the greatly appreciated support of the school and community. 1. The 1986-87 Drama Club 2. Applying make up to sophomore John Saturly is senior Tina Hall. 3.

For a Drama Club member to become a Thesbian they have to have participated in two productions. They also have to accumulate ten points which are given by working in the different areas of the- atre. Whether it be acting, make-up, or set crew. One of the benefits the Thesbians received this year was attending a conference. “We spent a weekend in Eldridge at the first state wide Thes- bian conference. We went to workshops, saw a high school production of the musical The Tech- nicolored Dream Coat and a part of the profes- sional play The King and I” said senior Tina Clough. FCA FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) is an organization that anyone can join regardless of their athletic ability or religion. Meetings are held twice a month at a member’s home. They talk about Christianity and its relationship to sports. Besides the meetings, FCA also has spe- cial activities, such as caroling, sledding, skiing and pizza parties. They served pancakes at Kiwanis Kid’s Day, as a community service. Camps offered for FCA members include: the State Conference held in Marshalltown for a weekend in spring and a few may even attend a conference in Colorado for a week this summer. 1.

Some of the ac- tivities the club was responsible for were the Homecoming and Sweetheart festivities, hosting Parent-Teacher Conferences, Campus Clean- Up, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas assem- blies. “Communicating with the student body was a major goal,” stated sponsor Margaret Kelley. Student Council also sent under classmen to the Iowa Leadership Conference in the fall and the Co-Presidents, Phil Greiner and Tom Pohren, to Colorado for a leadership camp in the summer. Quill Most students take the Quill for granted. Who wouldn’t? It comes out every year only with new faces, original stories, and one-of-a-kind person- ality. It’s unique, and it’s meant for everyone. The staff spent its time writing articles, selling ads, and designing layouts. Every effort paid off when the final deadline was met and it was possi- ble to thumb through a year’s worth of memo- ries. 1. The radio seems to inspire Bart Buch into writing a Troy Banner story. 2. It came out picture perfect thanks to Brad Holst. 3. All she needed was to drop the contact sheets. This really makes Jill Warner’s night. 4. “Really Staci, this does work, just trust me,” states Dian Peaslee to Staci Wilson. 5. Journalism photographers, Linda Prill, Melinda Green, and Sharon Mosinski, do not take their jobs seriously. 6. Having lunch while reading a Troy Banner edition is Steve Nelson. 7.

The staff ranges from sophomores to seniors with all staff members doing various things. There are photographers, writers end editors, all of which do their part in putting it together. A layout has to be made and everything has to be measured to fit just right. The complications are amazing, as are the hours of dedicated newspaper production. SADD And INS Encouraging young people not to start to smoke or to stop if they do was the emphasis of I.N.S. (Interested Non-Smokers). Peer teaching was used when members spoke to kindergarten, fourth and eighth graders with presentations on the dangers of smoking. Some of the projects I.N.S. did were a 4th grade anti-smoking poster contest and prizes were given. They helped promote the “Great American Smokeout” day. Donations were also given to the Lung Association. Members of I.N.S. were selected by the biol- ogy science faculty and were required to be non- smokers. The size of the club was limited to under 30 to facilitate the organization and pro- jects. Assisting others, “friends help friends,” was an experience shared by S.A.D.D., (Students Against Driving Drunk). The members tried to make other students aware of the problems re- lating to alcohol. Driving while drunk was the main theme of the club, stressing the reality that it could happen to anyone. Some activities that S.A.D.D. held throughout the school year were the S.A.D.D. thoughts; messages done over the intercom every Friday about the fact that drinking and driving don’t mix. Members met every other Wednesday morning to discuss the issue and make future plans. They sent out letters and S.A.D.D. con- tracts to all students and parents of the F.H.S. Bulletin boards and posters were put up around the school by S.A.D.D. At Halloween they dressed up in costumes and went to the Park- view Care Center to spread some cheer among the residents. Another activity S.A.D.D. tried to do was sponsor speakers and films related to drinking and driving every year around prom which are shown to the student body. se 1. SADD Row 1: N. Hamilton, J.

This year seven new mem- bers were inducted in the fall and twelve in the spring ceremony. These students met the re- quired grade point average as well as being judged worthy on the basis of leadership, schol- arship, character, and service by the faculty. As members these students were able to apply for special scholarships as well as participate in the formal ceremonies. 1.

The only mem- bership requirement is to have at one time taken a home-ec class. This year as in the past F.H.A. sponsored a child from India. The boy’s name is Amelo, and he is only one of their rewarding service pro- jects. Another of their special projects was a Christmas program at the Jefferson County Care Facility that included a bingo game de- signed especially for Christmas. The highlight of the year for F.H.A. members was the May trip to the Amanas. The purpose of the visit was to experience the different lifestyle and watch the demonstration of crafts such as basketweaving and candlemaking. FFA Future Farmers of America strives to get stu- dents acquainted with farming and its related aspects. The class is open to freshmen on up to seniors. It teaches students cooperation, leader- ship and most of all experience in agriculture. It encourages farm participation in areas of crop production, raising of livestock and caring of farm machinery. The annual early morning breakfast was served to the staff and faculty. 92 Active Members: Angela Fritz Misty Lundquist Cindy Schrock J.J. Schrum Marcia Phillips Donna Knupp Robin Carlson Yvette Rebling Financial Managers Financial managers, although limited by its lack of members, played a large role in the sporting events. It was the duty of the members to sell tickets to the football, basketball, track volleyball, etc., events. With their assistance Ar- den Messer, advisor, was able to assure specta- tors of a smooth entrance to the games. In re- turn for their services students were given free activity tickets. 1. F.F.A.

Maybe it will be when I finally see the finished product and the smiles it brings when friends write in it. And maybe in ten years when I look at it with pride I’ll know that it was worth all the complaining. Until then though I’m just glad that we are finally finished, and I hope we accom- plished our goal. We only wanted to make this Quill have a special meaning for each and every one of you, and we wanted to unite FHS under one bond-music. — Cathy Fritts 144 Cathy and I came into this editorship thinking only how we were going to make this yearbook the best ever. It was going to have color, energy, pizazz, lots of memories, and a theme we could all relate to-one that revolved around music. In this frame of mind we tackled the project, and it almost brought us to our knees. Just as in the other parts of our lives we had some turmoil, (boy Cathy, did we have turmoil!) but whenever it got rough we’d stick in Cinderella or Bon Jovi, re-think our values and priorities, and jump back into the swing of things. In this way we not only survived, we overcame. — Tina Clough We would like to extend our fondest wishes to the students of FHS and especially the class of 87. In spite of the danger of sounding like a generic passage from the back of a senior picture, we want to wish you all the best. College, work, families, whatever, it doesn’t matter. The past years together have been full of the best times and the worst. We’ve made it to the real world though, and we'll keep changing with the times-because we are survi- vors and vj e will rule the world. — the editors Dedicated to . . . We’ve all heard the song verse: Only the good die young. And the saying — When God picks a bouquet. He picks the most beautiful one in the garden. None of us knows exactly what heaven is, but we do know that June 20th at approxi- mately 4 p.m.. it became a brighter happier place. When Phil was a child, he never walked. He went straight from a crawl to a run. And he kept right on running, but never away from things. Always forward — always toward someone in need, always toward a smile, wink, wave, hug, or that kiss which needed to be given and received. If ever there was an 18-year-old man who could die with no regrets about the years he had lived, it was Phil Greiner. Being sensitive to the hurts deep within others brought Phil to the realization of the important need in th m for his smile and his happiness. He had a knack for making the eightball fe l like just one of the crowd. When Aunt Irene asked what Phil’s favorite music was so it could be played at this service. Phil had to see each of us smile and sense the glow in our hearts as we imagined what hq d play today - and how loudly he’d play it. You know Phjf had a personal goal by which he governed his last year. He said that by the end of his senior year he wanted to be friends with every person in Fairfield Community High School. Phil’s moment will never be forgotten when he looked up bn graduation day, with pride in his eyes, and said, “I did it! I really think 1 dip it!’’ Looking back on his life, it seems we have little choice but to believe that the striving for and the bringing of that kind of happiness was the purpose of his short, full life Well, believe that Phil is right here right now, and that he will remain with each of us in his special way until we are strong enough to let go. Then find a quiet corner and hold him. Tell him exactly what it is you needed him to know before he went. He’s listening, he cares, just like always. We’ve all sat and told stories about Phil’s involvement in our lives the past two and a half days. Nearly all were told with tears in our eyes, smiles on our lips, and a mixure of sadness and joy in our hearts. Stories of hunting, fishing, sledding, sports. 4-H. horse back riding, horsing around, dances, cruising, family times, and experiences of real friendship like most people only dream about. We need to hang onto our memories and onto each other in our sorrow. Also hang onto the realization that Phil had a strong fear of being sick or of ever growing old. He was spared these fears and all of his others. Let Phil go. Let Phil be the positive influence in your life that he portrayed in his own. And always remember — he lived to love. Written and read by Cindy L. Greiner June 23, 1987 ! 146 Funny when you realize what's important it's suddenly too late. Only when your time has come do you understand your fate. Things you took for granted now seem wonderful and new. Things you never could believe now are coming true. Funny as you’re leaving, it seems the living's just begun. You wait as darkness closes in while others sit in the sun. How did the sun go so quickly with no chance to say good-bye? Friends left behind can’t help but wonder why — Why did the time together have to end so fast? Funny it always seemed as though it was going to last forever. Britton Weiss [During Collins' short life, he often expressed concern for the world.] I like the President. Don't get me wrong. But he said there will be farmers strong. But where have they all gone? Some people say there is no real problem. As for me, I know the truth. As time goes on, people will say. Where have the farmers gone? We’re hungry. our friends.
