THE LEGEND LIVES ON . m 1982 MAPLE LEAVES Fairmont Senior High School Loop Park Fairmont, West Virginia 26554 Volume 75 WEST IS BEST — Polar Bear fans show their enthusiasm at the State AAA Football Championship in Charleston. Only once before had two schools from the same county vied for the title. r To most Americans, Abraham Lincoln sym- bolizes a legend. To sports fans, Hank Aaron serves as a legend. Even the “King of Rock ’n’ Roll,” El- vis, has become legendary. At Fairmont Senior High School, the Polar Bear, the school mascot, has also be- come a tradition. With its adoption in 1926, 50 years after the founding of the school, a movement began which caused the students, parents and the community to uphold the tradition of pride in the school. But through all the exper- iences of the Polar Bears ... The Legend Lives On V 2 “The Legend Lives On” SENIOR COURT — Lunchtime pro- vides a refreshing break for many seniors.

ALMA MATER — Surrounded by fall leaves, the school campus shows a colorful view from the Polar Bear Buildings. 4 “The Legend Lives On’ Obviously, legends do not develop by themselves. They evolve because they stand for something important and over a period of time, peo- ple come to respect them for what they symbolize. Service clubs led the way with many organizations offer- ing their help to worthy causes. Keywanettes assisted with the raising of funds for muscular dystrophy. They also aided the mentally handicapped with the help of the Polarettes. But clubs weren’t the only groups helping the community. Thespians, in cooperation with Choraliers, presented the play “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” for children of all ages. The school not only helped the community, but seeked support from it also. Guest speakers presented programs for the students along with funding many organizations’ projects. The unselfishness of the stu- dent body became a driving force in the development of the community as ... The Legend Lives On J Opening 5 V. As with Dan Fogelberg’s “The Leader of the Band,” the Polar Bears became a living legacy. Competition between schools caused the Bears to struggle to uphold their repu- tation. They re-established themselves as a powerhouse in the county and throughout the state. In sports, as well as aca- demics, the student body set up a dynasty which pushed them to the top. Success began early as the football team went to states followed by the band and Choraliers, who found them- selves in the midst of nation- al competitions. The basket- ball and wrestling teams both added honors to the trophy case by winning the Big Ten Conference. With the Math Depart- ment dominating the Marion County Math Field Day and language arts competitors bringing home numerous awards, other groups proved that sports teams were not the only ones becoming champions. Hi-Life and Maple Leaves, school pub- lications, received First Place awards from Columbia Scho- lastic Press Association in New York. Although this year will be remembered as successful, the colors of the Blue and White will continue to sym- bolize the strength of the Po- lar Bear as ... The Legend Lives On “The Legend Lives On” SPIRIT — Showing the pride that won them the Best Cheering Section trophy, Polar Bear fans become en- thused with the basketball action.

After the last bell rang, stu- dents transformed into ac- tors, writers and athletes to express their hidden talents. Not only did these creative “characters” emerge, but many dancers and artists be- came recognizable at major school functions. Homecoming appeared to be taking shape while the sports scene advanced into “overtime”. Spirit rose throughout the school as thuses revealed stars who found their place in the spot- light. Plays, as well as assem- blies, unmasked many per- formers and musicians who delighted in entertaining au- diences. Extra-curricular activities continued to entice students into extra hours, but without LEISURE TIME — Finding some spare moments from general school work, students made the most of their lives by involving themselves with extra- curricular activities. When minutes became hours and hours became days and the days seemed to drag on forever, you knew you were suffering from Mid-summer Madness This is the life — going to bed at eleven and sleeping until noon, no thesis papers to write, no novels to read, no Algebra problems to solve, no DNA models to make, no chem- istry tests to study for, no nothing — or is it? Caught between a trip to the beach and the opening of school, many students found themselves bored to tears. What did students do when they’d been to the pool so many times that their hair began to turn green from chlorine and Gen- eral Hospital wasn’t fulfilling their expectations? “I sat in the shade under a tree and read a good book,” said Carol Potesta, freshman. Another student exclaimed that he lounged around in his air-condi- tioned television room watching the latest game shows making mad dashes to the refrigerator during every commercial. “When I get bored, I go shop- ping,” explained Lea Ann Hawk, sophomore. “Oh, but, of course, I don’t buy anything,” she added. On these seemingly endless days, loneliness caught up with many students. One senior explained that she’d spent six hours calling everyone she knew. On the other hand, many stu- dents had plenty to keep them busy during these few short summer weeks. Varisty cheerleaders practiced two hours a day to learn new cheers, jumps and pyramids. Training, running, sweating and exercising, the football team began working out August 3, 1981, prac- ticing five hours each day. To get into condition, the cross country team ran for one to two hours each day beginning August 10, 1981. To perform during half-time at football games and participate in various competitions, the 137 member Polar Bear marching band practiced every day throughout the summer, including one week at band camp. Thirty-four athletes, cheer- leaders, choraliers, drama students and journalism students attended week-long camps and workshops at colleges and universities around the country. Inspired by the thought of pos- sessing extra spending money, some students spent their time cut- ting grass, waiting on tables, or op- erating a cash register. Whether working, playing, prac- ticing or just merely existing, stu- dents found that their 83 days of freedom ended much to soon. anuria;’ ONE MORE TIME - Under the hot August sun, Coach Joe Naternicola supervised the football team led by Senior Burce Wilson, on another drill at East-West Stadium. TUCKERED OUT — After a long workout at Apple Valley Golf Course, junior cross country team member Rod Vingle catches his breath. SUNNY DAYS — Taking a break from their regular August routine, students gather at East-West Stadi- um for a pre-season thuse. PERSONAL REWARDS — During the summer the armory parking lot sets the scene for the drive to perfec- tion as Junior Butch Lambert prac- tices for the opening half-time show of the West-North Marion game. NEW SURROUNDINGS — To avoid a great deal of first-day confusion, freshmen Margaret Teahan, Ceil Mallamo, Carol Potesta, Tracey Pinn, i and Mary Frances Rizzo get aquaint- ed with the campus. Summer 11 1981 HOMECOMING COURT— Front Row: Mark Caldwell, Sarah Beafore (queen); Row 2: Sheila Wright (senior princess), Michele Wimer (senior princess), Tami Clyde (senior princess), Lisa Washenitz (senior princess), Michele Efaw (maid of honor), Dolly Dollison (ju- nior attendant), Devorah Pitzer (sophomore attendant), and Amy Ju- lian (Freshman Attendant); Back Row: Mike Saporito, Mark Marshall, Robert Tatterson, Bruce Mason, Steve Aversa, Greg Jones, Chud Dollison, Pete Fuscaldo, and Robert Haley, escorts. SWAYING TO THE BEAT — Chud and Dolly Dollson, juniors, Lisa Wa- shenitz and Bruce Mason, seniors, dance to the music provided by Disc Jockey Bob Hank(WPQZ — Clarks- burg). Each day the halls became more and more crowded. Things seemed to Materialize In Thin Air Just like waking up to the first spring frost, Homecoming spirit appeared from nowhere and spread like fire. Monday, the transformation be- gan. The halls buzzed with girls dressed in pink and guys in green in honor of “Miss Piggy Day.” After school, seniors taped or- ange, red, browm, and yellow con- struction paper maple leaves to the windows, hung posters, and ban- ners proclaiming “Get Preppy with the Seniors” and “What a Crew ’82” from the ceiling and decorated the bulletin boards writh tin foil let- ters and old pictures. Excitement filled the halls Tues- day as students donned scrub suits and candy striper uniforms, wrapped their arms, legs, elbows and knees, and bandaged their heads to “Aid the Bears.” Long after the students and teachers departed, juniors worked in the Freshman Building covering walls, woodwork, and doors with blue and white decorations. Signs extended from the ceiling read “Power of the Paw” and “It’s got to be ’83.” Students taped decora- tions along the edge of the roof and around the railings. Once again, the buses left, but Wednesday sophomores victimized the first floor and freshmen the third by looping blue and white crepe paper from one end of the ceiling to the other. Students bus- ied themselves by making signs which said “Polar Paradise” and “Polar Bear Pride is On Our Side.” “Lumberjack Day” arrived along with students bustling around in flannel shirts excited about the day’s festivities. The “Dating Game” highlighted the thuse as Stella Gerba with the help of Rockie DeLorenzo, chose her date. Of the four bachelors, Ju- nior Chris Copley, Sophomore Roy Sumlin,Freshman Dave LeLorenzo and Senior John Rote, Sumlin won the grand prize — a date with Stel- la in the cafeteria. Excited students arrived an hour early for the Homecoming game with Oak Glen. With West leading 7-0 at half-time, John D. Tennant, principal, crowned Sarah Beafore as Queen while the march- ing band played “Ice Castles.” The football team went on to win, 14-7, over the Golden Bears. Fairmont State College Ball- room provided the setting for the semi-formal dance where Bob Hank (WPQZ — Clarksburg) pro- vided the music. As Homecoming week came to a close, the week’s festivities became another chapter in the book, “Re- flections of ... .” 12 Homecoming ON THE SPOT — Bachelor number three, Roy Sumlin, sophomore, an- swers a question from the mystery girl as Rocky DeLorenzo, senior, and David DeLorenzo, freshman, watch. UP IN THE AIR — Nineteen feet off the ground, Chud Dollison and Dave Rosenburger, juniors, hang a banner from the roof of the Freshmen Build- ing. CLOUDY SKIES — Despite the sun’s poor showing, Greg Jones and Dave Stephenson, seniors, w’ear sung- lasses to “Cut the Glare of the Golden Bear.” LIFE SAVERS — In their hospital at- tire, Susan Julian, Terri Walker, and Shelly Delligatti, seniors, make deco- rations on senior court for the main hall. Homecoming 13 INDECISION — Due to the large va- riety of snacks available. Freshman Lisa Pulice, tastes a cherry popsicle. BALANCED DIETS — Enjoying a hot meal, Rick Fluharty, Jeff Wang, Mark Clarke, and Shawn Graham, ju- niors, occupy their usual eating spots in the cafeteria. WARMING UP - With lunch from the snack bar, Tammy Cross and Hope White, juniors, relax on the front steps by the radiator during second lunch. ON THE GO — Not having time to re- lax after standing in the long snack bar lines, Junior Brian Caldwell stops at his locker before his fifth pe- riod class. 14 Lunch The bell rang, floors vibrated, and the tropies swayed as 275 students raced downstairs to Satisfy the Munchies Lunch. Everybody’s favorite subject. Cafeteria. That’s another story. Students usually associated school cafeterias with everything from slimy green jello to brown cock roaches. Despite these ru- mors, approximately 275 students ate in the cafeteria each day. Approximately 247 of the 275 students ate in the cafeteria every day. These regular eaters designat- ed their lunch seats within the first week of school. Day after day, they could be found in the same seat at the same table. Bruce Gaskin, sophomore, ex- plained, “It’s automatic now. I’ve sat in the same seat at the same table with my friends since the first day of school.” Victims of this eating habit also occupied the space inside the front door on the steps by the Polar Bear statues. Karen Weaver, senior, explained that she liked being out of the main flow of traffic. “It’s nice and warm by the radia- tors in the winter and it’s fun to sit and watch everyone without being stepped on,” said Dawniele Dus- key, freshman. Changing class at the semester many times meant switching lunches. On this day students wan- dered aimlessly around the cafete- ria looking for a new seat. Freshman with pre-careers fourth period struggled through two switches. “My stomach couldn’t get used to it. When I changed to second lunch, I was starved by 12:04 and when I changed back to first lunch, I wasn’t hungry at 11:04,” replied Crystal Findo, freshman. The adjustment to these lunch break switches even caused some emotional upset. Carol Bland, freshman, noted, “I left all of my friends behind me. When I changed again, I left all of my new friends behind me.” In the end, adjusting one’s stom- ach and finding new eating com- panions became a daily routine in itself. Lunch 15 CONTEMPLATING - Before send- ing in a substitute, J.V. Coach Tom Dragich plans his course of action. INTENSE CONCENTRATION - Deep in thought. Junior Angie Rice puzzles over the right word for a fea- ture story for Hi-Life. DISTRACTIONS — While listening to a lecture in Mrs. Judy Byers’ Phase IV English class, Senior Peggy Lee and Sophomore David Brock make plans for their upcoming research pa- pers. DISMAY — Amidst the ups and downs of the East-West football game. Sophomores Lori Topardo and Joanne Bourne await the outcome. FIRST ATTEMPT — Designing a newsmagazine layout for Journalism I, Freshman Cait Anthony adds graphic effects. 16 Habits With temptations everywhere, forcing oneself to stop bad habits became a Reoccurring Nightmare Everyone has them. Some ap- pear obvious, some hidden. Some seem constant, others occur once- in-a-while. Some happen uncon- ciously, while others are a result of nerves. Most students are plagued by habits. For a few it’s biting their ■� nails, tapping their foot against the floor, cracking their knuckles or I shaking their leg. Others resort to . twisting their hair, playing with a necklace or chewing on a pencil. Along with having a habit comes the desire to break it. The reactions of one’s friends 1 provided students with the inita- tive to resist the urge. After constantly listening to her y classmates laugh when her neck- laces got tangled in her hair, a freshman said that she had to stop wearing necklaces all together. Most of the time it’s one’s par- ents who try to put an end to the habit. Steven Kendall, sophomore, re- vealed, “My parents made me wear gloves for three days one time so I’d stop biting my nails.” “My mom always tells me how big and ugly my hands are from cracking my knuckles,” comment- ed Lisa Carson, sophomore. “Mainly, mom screams at din- ner. She claims that I shake the en- tire table,” said Jeff Wang, junior. Nevertheless, the failure or suc- cess of breaking a bad habit rested on the student’s willingness to force themselves. “I tried concentrating on my leg,” confessed Rick Fluharty, ju- nior. “The only problem is when I concentrate, I shake my leg,” he added. A fingernail biting senior said that she’s been unsuccessfully giv- ing it up for Lent for the past twelve years. In the process of climbing out of one’s rut, some students fall into another. “I decided I wanted long finger- nails, and I stopped. But now, I bite the shin around my nails,” ex- plained Lori Toparko, sophomore. While some successfully put their habits to rest, others will for- ever listen to their parents say, “Stand up straight or I’ll buy you a back brace.” BRILLIANCE IN ACTION - Want- LOOKING AHEAD — While earning ing the excitement in her life that was his weekly allowance, Sophomore experienced by Adolf Hitler, Junior Jeff Moore admits that he would like Marty Tibbs fulfills one of her daily a lifestyle similar to Hugh Heffner’s. responsibilities. Stepping backward in time arouses the curosity of students who imagine their Historical Presence The heavy wooden door opened into a pitch black room except for the faint, reddish glow coming from the corner of the left wall. Slow tip- toeing footsteps approached the strange light. Covering the wall, dials, gauges and buttons sur- rounded a large, shiny knob. Direc- tions hung beside it engraved in a brass plate. They instructed one to line the arrow up with a date and carefully depress the tiny red but- ton. A feminine hand with Bronze Fire nail polish hesitantly reached up, set the knob and pushed the button. The entire room vibrated. Colored lights flashed wildly. Ab- ruptly, everything became still. Noisy footsteps ran toward the door. With one forceful tug, the door swung open and a scream of fear mixed with delight echoed in the air as Mary Whetzel found her- self among the flappers during the roaring twenties. “People always looked like they were having a good time,” noted the junior explaining why she liked that period in history. While Mary danced her way into the crowd, another student crept into the dim room. After the same twisting and turning, he wound up in Abraham Lincoln’s body. “He’s someone I’ve always ad- mired, “explained Bruce Henth- orn, freshman. Two more unsuspecting teen- agers passed through the door as Bruce began his political debate with Stephen Douglass in 1858. Riding into town on his brown stal- lion, Freshman John Meffe pulled his horse to a stop. He casually dis- mounted, then threw forward the old saloon doors. Behind the bar, Pam Keener served drinks to out- laws, farmers, prospectors and cowboys. “I’ve always dreamed of working during the Old West and wearing a big hoop skirt,” said the junior. Dealt his cards, John joined in the poker game while 100 years in the future, a young man sat intent- ly studying in a laboratory. After visiting the gloomy room, Fresh- man David Harris leaned over a mi- croscope and began his pioneer work in nuclear physics. 18 Historical Presence “OPEN ARMS” — As she plays a tune by the rock group. Journey, Senior Natalie Christian imagines that her musical talents are as perfected as the composer Beethoven. WILD, WILD WEST - With his mind on the Old West, Freshman John Meffe ponders over a problem in Ac- celerated Science 9 class. PRECISE MEASUREMENTS - Choralier pianist Freshman Marga- ret Rowe helps Freshman Janet Yost measure chemicals to complete an experiment in Accelerated Science 9 class. Rowe expressed an interest in playing to the caliber of great com- posers. ON ICE — Instead of guarding Sopho- more Bryan Towns in an evening bas- ketball game, Sophomore Mike Mez- zepelle would rather be playing hockey with the New York Islanders and Mike Bossy. Historical Presence 19 Presence Continued As David theorized in 1933, an important meeting took place in 1776 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fifty- six men had begun to sign their names to one of the most important documents in history. “... John Hancock, Thomas Jef- ferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Erik Harris? ...” “I’d love to be famous,” commented the freshman. When the desire to return to the proper time overcame them, the fa- miliar door appeared. It enclosed the same room with the same large, shiny knob. Within minutes they arrived at their respective homes full of fond, exciting memories of their fantasy trip. BEAR LINEBACKER — Everybody has someone they admire and in the case of Sophomore Chad Norman, Dick Butkus represents a tough, ag- gressive image. CLASSWORK — Daydreaming of life in the Fifties, Sophomore Kim Turner finds it hard to concentrate on Eng- lish in her second period class. DOWN SOUTH - The lifestyle of Gary Rossington of the Rossington Collins Band appeals to Sophomore Bryan Towns much more than the endless chore of taking care of his personal property. 20 Historical Presence PREGAME PREPARATIONS — On the road with the Charlie Daniels Band appeals to Robbie Corley, freshman, more than being on the road to baseball practice. BASIC LANGUAGE — Exposed to the field of computer science, Freshman Ron Radcliff explores this possibility as a future career. Historical Presence 21 With the success of the sports teams, marching band, Chora- liers, drama students and other school organizations, students found themselves Feeling Good Excited students equipped with umbrellas, raincoats and Polar Bear paraphernalia lined up out- side of East-West Stadium in the freezing rain one hour before game time to gain seating rights to the press box section for the semi-final contest with Brooke High. As the final buzzer sounded, the stands emptied rapidly as the entire sec- tion burst onto the muddy field slipping and sliding to find a play- er, cheerleader or friend to hug. Thuses generated excitement and instilled a sense of pride in ev- eryone. Dancing routines, cheers led by the cheerleaders, skits from the Leadership Skills class and in- spiring speeches from the coaches aided in the development of the school spirit. Hugs, kisses, tears, smiles and a lot of jumping up and down filled the student sections of the armory, East-West Stadium, the audito- rium and wherever else the crowd gathered. Whether attending a play, Chor- alier, band or athletic assembly or a ball game, the crowd gave their full support. During football season students and parents met at the vacant Gar- den Fresh building every evening to make blue and white signs which they nailed on telephone poles and trees throughout the city and along the interstate. Two blue and white banners proclaiming “Year of the Bear” and “Welcome to Polar Bear Country” stretched across the Watson and David Morgan bridges. ON THE AIR — To instill enthusiasm in the community, “Paw Power Night” was held throughout the year. Varsity Cheerleader Dolly Dollison and WMMN News Director Frank Lee receive good luck phone calls. PROUD CROWD — Despite losing 33-20 to North Marion as the season opened, students keep their enthusi- asm alive. 22 Feeling Good CLOWNING AROUND — In support of East-West Week’s “Clown Day”, Freshman Robert Haley adds a touch of humor to the lunch crowd. AN EXTRA BOOST - Tied at half- time with the scoreboard “on the blink”, students rush over to cheer the football team out of the locker room at East-West Stadium. STUFFED CHEEKS — Victory on his mind, Senior Footballer Rusty Wilson tries to gobble down a bunch of ba- nanas at the North Marion thuse at East-West Stadium. ROLE REVERSAL — Trying to show up the cheerleaders, Senior varsity football players John Rote, Rocky DeLorenzo, Scott Carpenter, Rusty Wilson and Rick Toothman do “the Funky Chicken” at an assembly. Feeling Good 23 Feeling Good Continued After performing their Christmas concert at a special assembly, the Choraliers and Ensemble received a standing ovation. The state-ranked concert band also brought students to their feet with a show of rock and big band songs. Filing onto the court before each basketball game to form a human run- through became a habit. Flash cards reading “Bill’s Bad Bears” and “State-Ranked Bears” rose high in the air. Even as the final 13 seconds ticked away ending the state cham- pionship hopes for the basketball team, the student body remained standing screaming, “I am proud to be a Polar Bear”. The campus always seemed alive. Posters and signs hung in the halls and students walked around hum- ming tunes from the band show. Even when just a single blue and white bow rested on the railing outside of the li- brary window, spirit soared. PAPER RAIN — Rejoicing after a touch- down, the student body happily awaits the outcome of the extra point kick at the city Championship East-West game. ALL SMILES — Before Coach Bob De- Lorenzo’s pep talk, Senior Bruce Wilson dances with the Polar Bear mascot, Sen- ior Lisa Little. 24 Feeling Good TIGHT SQUEEZE — Instead of a thuse, the band led by Drum Major- ette Jayne Traugh arouses excite- ment with a short parade through the halls on the day of a basketball game. WHO-DUN-IT - In a skit entitled “Who Shot Coach D”, Senior Rocky DeLorenzo poses as his football coach father and Junior Rod Vingle portrays Cross Country Coach Tom Dragich who is angry at what little amount of publicity his sport re- ceives. SEMI-FINALS - After stealing the right to advance to the championship game from the Brooke Bruins, play- ers and fans rush on to the muddy field during the first winter snow- storm. ENTHUSIASM — The crowd rises to their feet once again as the basket- ball team gives them plenty to cheer about. Feeling Good 25 ANXIETY — After receiving his third nine weeks report card, Junior Eric Cigrand takes a moment alone to study it. BANNED — Unable to use her home phone, Sophomore Stephanie Smith makes all of her necessary calls dur- ing lunch. 26 Solitary Confinement Caught doing or saying the wrong thing or in the wrong place at the wrong time, students wound up in Solitary Confinement A week, a month, a nine weeks or even a semester of staring at white walls, writing letters or walking to school tended to put even the good tempered in a sour mood. “I give my parents the silent treatment and act mean,” con- fessed Junior Todd Cianfrocca. Being grounded has been a part of students lives since grade school, but the punishment has taken a turn for the worse. “Before I couldn’t leave the house. Now they take away the car,” recounted Dana Brooks, ju- nior. The length of punishment and the type depended on the severity of the crime. Sophomore Bill Burns said, “I couldn’t leave my room ex- cept for dinner for a month. I lis- tened to so much music that I knew every top 40 song by heart.” Staying out too late, mouthing off and grades landed a lot of stu- dents in the dog house. “My father said I needed to grow up,” commented Charlotte Yost, sophomore. However, taking away privileges hit students where it hurt the most. “My parents grounded me from the telephone for talking back,” noted Chris Rowand, junior. Junior Eric Cigrand admitted that he couldn’t drive the car for an ent ire nine weeks because of his re- port card. 11 out of 25 students pointed out that they’d never been grounded. “I think it’s because they never found out what I did wrong,” rea- soned Sophomore Julie Shaffer. A Freshman added that her mother won’t ground her because she knows she’s too soft to make it stick. Even though parents felt the punishment fit the crime, students had to grin and bear it, like it or not. SOUTHERN ROCK - Coping with having to stay in his room, Junior Jeff Burdoff finds things to occupy his time. TO AND FRO — Extra Saturday chores provide a useful punishment for Sophomore Rosella Uibonatti. Solitary Confinement 27 COOL DIP — Ready for a refreshing swim, Madame Dubonnet (Maggie Enos) invites Percival Brown (Mike Saporito) to join her.

FALSE IDENTITIES — Finally com- ing together, Polly (Jenny Bomar) and Tony, (John Maselli) recognize their mutual love. To produce two musicals and a Childrens’ Theatre, young dramatists found themselves Struggling to Succeed With anything one attempts in life come hardships and rewards. The Thespian Troup 2243 and the Choraliers who presented the musicals “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” and “The Boy- friend” had their share of each. As part of the Children’s Theat re project, fourth, fifth and sixth graders from all over the county visited the school to see the first production. Despite the endless hours of practicing after school, the cast felt it was worth it. “Seeing how happy it made the little kids was great,” remembered Senior Tammy Preston, who por- trayed Patty. “Their faces just lit up,” added Junior John Maselli, who acted as Snoopy. Getting the words and dance to- gether, learning to tap dance, iden- tifying with the character and 56 costume changes were obstacles the 19-member “The Boyfriend” cast confronted. “The hardest thing for me was conquering the French accent,” ex- plained Junior Maggie Enos, who posed as Madame Dubonnet. The art of entertaining seemed to be the biggest cast pleaser. Senior Sharene Sindledecker, who starred in both plays and taught chorerography, said, “I loved teaching the kids the dances and then seeing them do and enjoy them. In working toward a goal the road is long and hard. But hopeful- ly the positive factors always out weigh the negative ones although success may not come easily. “The hardest thing is shutting down the show. You just want to stay on stage forever,” commented Senior Sharene Sindledecker. Struggling to Succeed 29 Life presents many hastles for students who sometimes find themselves in Uncontrollable Predicaments It happened to the best of us. No matter how hard we strived for per- fection or prayed that everything would turn out all right, embar- rassing slip-ups occurred. Sometimes our memory took a sudden vacation. “I got up on stage when I was running for Freshman Class president to give my speech and I forgot every one of my lines,” recounted Heather Gump, fresh- man. Other times our friends demoral- ized us. Sophomore Theresa Blount explained, “My best friends hung me out the third floor window DOWN THE HALL — Rushing to beat the tardy bell, many students such as Senior Sandi Stewart and Junior Gary Cheslock drop their books hold- ing up the entire crowd. COLLISON COURSE - In the small space around the copy machine in the main office, Junior Cassy Pileggi and Senior Tammy VanGilder try unsuc- cessfully to work without mishap. one day.” In many instances it seemed as though fate deliberately plotted against us. A junior revealed that while she was marching in a parade, her hose began to fall down. By the time they stopped, they were wrapped around her ankles. Once in a while we got caught in the act. “One time I was teasing these kids in a car and their father walked up behind me,” noted Stephanie Smith, sophomore. A senior confessed that she’d been passing a bit of gossip and the victim was sitting right next to her. Often our own ignorance became our worst enemy. Freshman Mar- garet Teahan said, “On the first day of school, I took both lunches.” In any case, the frustration sub- sided, people stopped wanting to shake our hand and asking for an excore within a matter of days. But the future moments when our faces would turn as red as beets and the desire to disappear or even die im- mediately crossed our minds would stick to us like glue and follow us forever like a pet dog. 30 Uncontrollable Predicaments CAUTIOUSNESS — To avoid trip- ping up the stairs, Sophomore Me- lanie Miranda steps with care. THUNDER — When one sneezes in a quiet place it can cause a twinge of embarrassment as Freshman Erik Harris experiences during Computer Literacy class. Uncontrollable Predicaments 31 FINAL MOMENT — Before corona- tion, court members Linda Balmer and Jayne Traugh finish last minute primping. BARTENDING — For lack of a bigger container, Sophomore Pete Fuscaldo mixes punch in a new plastic garbage can. Magical moments did not escape those “fashionable” Prom couples who spent hours Getting All Decked Out Looking around one would think that a fairy godmother swooped down and tapped everyone with her magic wand. The transition of students from jeans and tennis shoes to tuxedos and long gowns seemed to happen overnight. Prom, held at the Fairmont State ballroom, highlighted the year’s social calender. Girls spent months shopping for the “right” gown. After spending $80 to $100 on a dress, she hoped no one else had chosen the same one, but occa- sionally it occurred. “It’s an indescribable feeling. I was so stunned!” recounted Chris Rowand, junior. Tuxedos, rented at Maunz, Trappuzzano’s or Michael Adams, ranged from $40 to $60. However, Seniors Pat Sherren and Danny Morgan acted as walking advertise- ments for Michael Adams by wear- ing tuxes to school for two days. As payment, the tuxes were free on Prom night. Juniors spent hours and hours of hard work setting up and decorat- ing to transform the room into a “Southern Splendor”. Couples arrived at 7 p.m. and the hall filled quickly with parents armed with cameras awaiting the coronation. Chud Dollison, Junior Class president, crowned Terri Walker as queen. After parents de- parted, Sophomore hosts and host- esses resumed their duties of re- plenishing the punch bowls and cookie trays. Girls in their full southern style gowns moved with ease to the mu- sic of the band Reflections. Even teachers joined in on the dance floor. “I liked the dance best because I liked to see everyone dressed up,” explained Gina Gallo, sophomore. 32 Prom CORONATION — After the crowning of the queen, Senior Terri Walker and Junior Chud Dollison wait for picture taking to end. AFTER HOURS — With silk flowers in hand, Junior Deneen Aversa laces the white metal arch in the ballroom doorway. I SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY - As a hostess, Sophomore Beth Davis car- ries out one of her assigned duties by serving punch to Junior Sherry Kron- jaeger and Sam Fox. Prom 33 Decked Out Continued When nine o’clock rolled around, the crowd thinned. Many of the couples left in order to make dinner reservations at Green Acres, The Flame, The Old Mill Club, Jim Reeds and Caesars. However, those who had eaten previously kept things alive on the dance floor. By 11 p.m. the last of the old die- hards had gone and clean-up be- gan. Table clothes with cups, nap- kins and wilted flowers were rolled up and the band packed. Silence overcame everyone as the boys knocked down the plantation house back drop. As the clock struck midnight, the ballroom was empty and back to its normal arrangement. Somewhere in the night the partying continued and would continue until after Prom picnic on Sunday. EXTRA SUPPORT - Adding the fi- nal touches, Juniors Dave Calabrase and Chris Copley ready the planta- tion house backdrop for hanging. 34 Prom AT EASE — One step at a time, Senior Jayne Traugh assisted by Senior Rick Hawinberry descends the tem- porary stairs during coronation practice.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT - Raising the entire student body to their feet, Jill Tracy Koppel sings “Hit me With Your Best Shot” and “Promises in the Dark” in the show’s finale. TEARS — After the show, Lisa Little and Diana Cobin join fellow seniors on stage to sing the alma mater. 36 Senior Activities ANXIOUS SPECTATORS - Enter- ing the auditorium late, Susan Conaway searches for a front row seat. GOOD-BYES — Assembled on stage, seniors give Fairmont Senior High a final farewell. Throughout the year, seniors left assemblies first following the singing of the alma mater, but this time a voice requested that Seniors Leave Last “Ouch!” “Get off my costume!” “Let me look in the mirror now.” Squished in Miss Flint’s Choralier room, seniors completed last min- ute primping. Meanwhile, the auditorium quickly filled with underclassmen, teachers and alumni. A roar of ex- cited voices discussed what could be in store for them. Senior Assembly gave the gradu- ating students a final chance to perform for the school. Even those who had never been on stage before appeared in the spotlight. This gathering was another way for a senior to leave his “mark”. Co-hosting the show, Lisa Little, Sandi Stewart, and Scott Carpen- ter provided in-between act jokes as Co-host Bob Burns displayed his talent by eating 25 McDonald’s ketchups. Giving an insight into the future, Terri Walker, Michele Wimer and Susan Julian revealed some of their thoughts as to what would come of their classmates. Musical numbers dominated the event. Tami Clyde, Lisa Morris, Mark Clarke, Sharene Sindle- decker, Mike Saporito, Tammy Preston and Peggy Lee sang “Boo- gie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Perform- ing to “We’ve Got the Beat”, Jayne Traugh, Meg Sidow, Erika Stewart, Kate Tarleton and Jennifer Straw- derman portrayed the Go-Go’s. Senior Activities 37 Last Continued Also held in honor of the seniors, the Recognition Assembly gave Faculty Department Heads and Coaches the opportunity to present awards to outstanding students in their area. Twenty-eight students became members of the Polar Bear Navy by a teacher recommendation and having obtained at least a 3.0 aver- age. Receiving Distinguished Ser- vice Awards were fourteen stu- dents. Even though 233 seniors depart- ed, their contributions, no matter how large or small, would last for- ever. The walls of the school would continue to hold the many secrets of days gone by. TOP HONORS — Recognized as Salu- tatorian and Valedictorian, Dale Dzelski and Ed Hanway draw ap- plause from the student body. STRUMMIN — In a solo of “Country Roads”, John Windsor opened up the show. 38 Senior Activities HONOR GRADUATES - After ac- cepting their awards, Karen Weaver, John Rote, Danny Morgan, Mike Sa- porito, Rick Toothman, Kate Tarle- ton and Dale Dzielski await the con- clusion of the assembly. STAR ATHLETE — For being the most outstanding four-year basket- ball player, Dave Ritchie accepts his award from Coach Bill Lawson.

ACCOMPLISHMENT - Before re- joining his fellow classmates, John Windsor stops for a quick congratu- lation from Skip Delligatti while Ju- nior Usher Dawn Tucker ropes off the area. FUTURE PREDICTIONS - While di- plomas are distributed, Mike Bon- asso and Angie Bombardiere glance at the Senior Wills and Prophecies in- serted in Hi-Life. 40 Graduation As spring took over the campus and the year quickly came to a close, seniors found high school becoming A Thing of the That time of year had rolled around once again. With the birds singing, trees budding, flowers blooming and cicadas swarming, the enrollment suddenly decreased by 233 and classes became smaller or even non-existent. Graduation had arrived. During the last few days as a sen- ior, many memories came rushing back. Good and bad thoughts of the fire, the rebuilding, four Home- comings, two Proms, 45 football, 92 basketball and 44 baseball games, 63 tennis matches, 48 track meets, 52 golf matches, 8 Choralier con- certs, 8 major plays, thousands of hours of plays, thousands of hours of practices and candy sales and 2,592 hours of being in school flooded one’s mind. Even more than those things, seniors remembered the parties, weekends, getting a driver’s license and making friends. “The best thing for me was meet- ing all of those different people and making many close friends,” said Lee Ann Myers. Commencement ceremonies were held at the Marion County Armory with speeches delivered by Past Valedictorian Ed Han way and Sa- lutatorian Dale Dzielski. The Polar Bear Marching Band provided the music including the instrumental “McCarthur Park.” Principal John D. Tennant Jr., Vice Principal Lou Julian, Guidance Counselor Joe Muto, and President of the School Board Nancy Serdich presented the diplomas. As the blue and white caps flew into the air, four years of high school became another memory and a whole new world of exper- iences began. ANOTHER REMINDER — Taking one more step toward graduation, Tami Clyde inspects her cap and gown during homeroom. FIRM HANDSHAKE - Graduating fifth, Mike Saporito receives his di- ploma from Mrs. Nancy Serdich, Marion County School Board presi- dent. Graduation 41 KING OF ROC Donald Scott performs his version o a traditional Christmas carol in “Jin- gle Bells through the Ages.” The (Niorst upncert, originally set for Dec. Wr vas rescheduled for Dec. 15 due to snow and bad road conditions. 42 “The Legend Lives On Learning remained the primary reason for at- tending school. In preparation for careers, stu- dents arranged their sched- ules to fulfill future needs, as well as new graduation re- quirements. Six new classes were added to the curriculum and one class was dropped due to the changing de- mands. But all the extra learning paid off as three seniors, Chris Ashton, Ed Hanway and John Knisely, became National Merit finalists. The Freshman and Junior Classes scored higher on county and state tests while school publi- cations continued to receive national recognition. Whether the students pre- pared for college or a future vocation, The Legend Lives On in . . . EDUCATION — Classes, as well as a few extra- curricular activities, prove to students that high school truly is a learning experience. Academics Academics Divider 43 SHA NA NA — Portraying the singers from the fifties, five Choraliers sing a portion of “Jingle Bells through the Ages.” SHOW STARTER — Soprano members of Choraliers begin the Christmas Con- cert with “Come Christians, Join To Sing” 44 Choraliers YOUNG LOVE — Seeming to live the part, Seniors Peggy Lee and Mike Saporito sing “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” Singers rehearsed for hours and thrilled at the sound of ‘On Stage’ It happened night after night for weeks at a time. Seventy-nine Choralier and Ensemble members left their homes to meet at their rendezvous. Some ar- rived early and chatted a while until the awaited words sounded through the room. On stage! Choraliers spent approximately 1,800 to 2,000 hours during school and after- ward learning music and words to the songs to be sung in the Christmas and Spring Concerts. Along with the songs performed, cho- reography added an extra touch to the concerts. “Choreography was easy to learn and fun to do, although Ensemble members had to learn two sets. I enjoyed every minute of it and I think the audience did, too,” exclaimed Senior Lisa Morris. However, for some, learning the dance steps did not come as easily. “I had trouble because I had to learn it in two days. I thought I had to accompa- ny. I had to watch the people around me and I was always stepping on their feet and hitting them,” admitted Sophomore Charlotte Yost. Even though the additional work made it a little tougher, all the extra ef- fort paid off. “This year we have accomplished a lot. We have presented more programs than ever before. The kids have made it out- standing because they want to do well. They’re willing to work and go that sec- ond mile,” stated Miss Joyce Flint, Choralier director. SINGULAR SINGER — While performing “One” from “A Chorus Line”, Senior Scott Goff receives attention from Senior Lisa Morris and Junior Maggie Enos. WORDS OF THE WISE — As the Choraliers practice for the Christmas Concert, Direc- tor Miss Joyce Flint stops to give them some advice. Choraliers 45 OPEN ARMS — “I Can’t Stop Loving You”, part of the Encores’ country medley being performed by Seniors Sharene Sindle- decker and Rick Hawkinberry, provides comic relief for the Spring Concert, “The Great White Way.” CHORUS LINE — Convincing the audience that she really enjoys performing, Senior Tami Clyde sings “What I Did for Love.” CAN’T STOP — During the Christmas Con- cert, “An Old-Fashioned Christmas”, the faces of Senior Lisa Morris and Junior Mark Clarke show their talent as they per- form in the Country Medley. 46 Choraliers JUMP FOR JOY — While singing “Rocky Top”, Junior Rick Prudnick and Senior Mike Tichenor kick up a little dust while the rest of the Choraliers w atch. ‘On Stage’ Continued Thirty-six members of both Chora- liers and Ensemble received the oppor- tunity to visit and compete in the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. “I thought we had a real good chance of winning because we really work to- gether well and want to do well. We enjoy working and performing with each oth- er,” stated Senior Sharene Sindledecker. The Encores, formally called Ensem- ble, performed for the first time with their new name. They came home with a superior rating and first place in show chorus as they had done in every compe- tition they entered during the year. The concert choir received a II rating in the competition against several top choirs throughout the country. Sacrificing time for homework and working overtime helped the singers end with a successful year behind them. “I’ve realized how close a group of peo- ple can become and how many friends a person can make when we all worked so hard and so many hours together for a teacher we all love,” expressed Senior Sandi Stewart. THANK YOU — As the finale for the Christmas Concert, the entire Choraliers sing “Thank You Very Much” in apprecia- tion to their audience. CONTINUING EDUCATION — After at- tending required high school classes in the morning, Senior Nan Serdich completes an exam in the English 104 class at FSC. SCIENCE IN THE 80’s - To finish a project - for a course, Senior Matthew Funk works in the lab in the computer Science Center at FSC. 48 College Getting the feel of college early, seniors find themselves, Working Double Time They entered the room for the first time a little scared, although they wouldn’t admit it. It was en entirely new world for them and they entered it some- what early. Seniors traveled to Fairmont State College and took advanced classes for which they received credit toward their high school graduation. This innovative program existed as a result of Project Excel, approved by the Marion County Board of Education. “It’s great! I think it’s really worked to my advantage, exclaimed Sheila Wright. “The only differences are the fact that no roll is taken and we don’t meet every day,” stated Matt Funk. As on any topic, students did not al- ways agree. Some felt that the courses they studied were much tougher than high school classes. “The courses are harder and I spend a lot more time doing homework than I ever have,” admitted Shawn Dunn. “However, I feel that taking advanced courses now will help me later on.” Although some adjustments had to be faced, students felt that taking classes during their senior year prepared them for their college education. THE RIGHT WORDS - Involved in his work, Senior Mike Saporito puts the finish- ing touches on an essay in English 104 at the college. BREAK TIME — The Nickel at FSC pro- vides Senior Shawn Dunn with a place to get away from his studies. College 49 SITTING AROUND - Students found many places to finish their homework. Sen- iors Jeanette Romino and Betsy Meffe sit up against the lockers to complete an as- signment for fifth period. BEATING THE CLOCK - Sophomores Clinton Parker, Valarie Hinton, Denise Lee and Kim Hilson struggle to finish a home- work assignment. Students hurried to com- plete lessons before the bell rings. 50 Procrastination With ball games, club meetings, dates and time to rest, students find it almost impossible to Escape the Epidemic of Procrastination It’s not just a fad, it’s an epidemic. It’s been going on all through the ages and continues today. Everyone has caught it at one time or another, even the straight A student. The disease “procrastina- tion,” has struck just about every stu- dent throughout the school! To most students, procrastination meant doing fifth period homework dur- ing lunch, or even better, while the teacher talked at the beginning of class. Teachers could tell when students waited until the last minute to do their homework because of the quality of work. “I can tell they’ve waited because of the neatness, simple mistakes in gram- mar and punctuation. Also the quality of thought evident in material is lacking,” commented Mr. Joe Cavalier, Driver Education teacher. This epidemic is not only restricted to high school students, but teachers also admitted that they sometimes fell into the same category. “Sometimes I find that last minute teaching plans are more effective than ones I have labored over,” stated Mrs. Linda Morgan, English teacher. Just as teachers, some students also work well under pressure. “I work well under pressure because I know it has to be done to get a sufficient grade,” remarked Ray Fluharty, junior. Study halls provided time for students to work on homework throughout the day. The library opened before school and remained open all day to aid stu- dents with their work. Even with this time to study, students created many excuses for not doing their homework on time. Teachers heard a wide range of ex- cuses such as “I had to wash my hair,” “My mom thought it was scrap and threw it away,” or the most commonly used, “The dog ate it!!” Students also came up with a few believable reasons for late work. “There was a basketball game that night,” or “I had a date and we didn’t come home until late,” summed up the more reasonable excuses. Staying after school also gave students excuses. “It (staying after school) definitely takes away from homework time, but I feel it’s helpful in relieving the pressures of school. It gives one a break from a routine schedule,” expressed Michele Wimer, senior. The chore of finishing homework be- came a burden and for most students, the epidemic continued until the last day of school. WORKING UNDER PRESSURE - Rush- ing to beat the bell, Frank Murphy, sopho- more completes his career profile for Mrs. Byers phase IV English class. LAST MINUTE RUSH — Lunch provides time for studying as seniors Shelly Delli- gatti and Ana Delapas pass the time on sen- ior court. Many students can be seen in the halls and various other places munching and doing work they didn't do at home. Procrastination 51 STANDING AROUND — Anxiously awaiting a look at the crown jewels of England, students and faculty stand outside the gates of the Tower of London. SIGHTSEEING — After passing through the gates of the Tower of London, the group advances to tour the old prison system. 52 Europe TAKING A STROLL — Downtown London provides a good tourist spot for Joyce Maruka, ju- nior, and Seniors Martie Pitrolo and Kelly Ash. READY TO GO — Students leave Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London after touring the famed church where Lady Diana and Prince Charles were married. By visiting Europe, Phase IV English Students find their Textbooks Come to Life In the midst of a 10-day excursion through London and Paris, Phase IV English students experienced customs and language that were only but foreign to them. From the variance in cuisine to the prices of gasoline (which was $5 per gal- lon in France), the travelers discovered just how obtuse American life was com- pared to that overseas. “I enjoyed observing the difference in a cultural aspect,” conveyed Senior Jill Tracy Koppel. “There were so many things to do, and the attitude of the peo- ple differed from the so-called loose, talkative Americans. One of the funniest things was when some Englishmen told me how they liked my accent. I didn’t TASTE TESTERS — As typical tourists, Junior Beth Chevuront and Sophomore Yvette Coburn meet some of the unusual characters of a foreign land such as the Beef Eaters. think I had one.” During the stay in England, the group viewed such sites as Windsor Castle, Stratford Upon Avon, Westminster Ab- bey, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Ca- thedral, Shakespeare’s birthplace and Canterbury while Paris possessed the famed Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Napoleon’s Tomb, Palace of Versailles and Notre Dame. “The students were thrilled at getting to see places they had only read about in textbooks,” commented James Cimino, chaperone. “However, they seemed thrilled even more when a McDonald’s was discovered outside the Hotel Fran- cious.” Europe 53 THE RIGHT CHOICE — Presenting a unit on decision making, guidance counselors Mary Jo Roman portrays 70-year-old Scarlett O’Hara while Frank DiMaria, pos- ing as 60 Minutes interviewer Morley Safer, asks her to reflect on her life. ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS — Falling Waters gives Marion County gifted stu- dents a day in the outdoors. The students and teachers made the trip on September 26. 54 Inter-disciplinary Studies INVITED GUEST — IDS Classes, along with Mrs. Linda Morgan’s phase IV English classes, enjoy listening to Janine Harry, missionary to Kenya, Africa. She discussed the cultural differences in that country. ADMIRING THE VIEW — Frank Lloyd Wright’s home provides IDS students with a view of the scenery surrounding his famed home. JOB SELECTION — As part of the many phases of the IDS program, guests speakers, such as Alex Casuccio, a local veterinarian talked to the students about choosing a profession. Exceptional students face the new trends in education as An Individual Challenge Schools all over the United States have been starting it. The idea has spread quickly. The gifted program approved in many states has found its way into the curriculum of Marion County Schools as a result of a state law which made provisions for excep- tional children. Students selected for this program do research and study the fields and special interest areas that intriqued them most. “I really enjoy the IDS class, be- cause it gives me a chance to do the things I want to do,” exclaimed Jenny Bomar, junior. The students travelled to several resource centers and libraries throughout the year to find informa- tion. Several people contributed to the success of the IDS program. Teachers, in all departments, cooperated by giv- ing their time to students who needed their knowledge in a chosen field. People from the community also came to speak to the students. They discussed subjects such as peer and parental pressure, the career of a veterinarian, law and medicine. The gifted program provided a good opportunity for students to expand their knowledge of understanding themselves and others. Inter-disciplinary Studies 55 DONNED IN WHITE — Wearing new uni- forms, the percussion section performs the drum feature, “Fairmont West ’81,” at the Second Annual Cavalacade of Bands, spon- sored by Polar Bear Band Boosters. CASTING SHADOWS - The Polar Bear Marching Band advances to the East Ten- nessee Mini-Dome to perform in the Marching Band of America Grand Nation- als, November 6. STEPPING HIGH, STEPPING PROUD - Surrounded by the flag corps, John Bro- tosky performs his trumpet solo, “Brand New Day,” while the band competes in the Grand Nationals in Johnson City, Tennes- see. The Band placed 25th out of bands from 13 states. 56 Band CENTER STAGE — Really getting into the music, Junior Jon Dodds renders his ver- sion of “Rubber Biscuits by the Blues Brothers before the crowd at the Band Spectacular. Replacing the old with the new brightened the appearance of the band as members of the blue and white flaunted A Style To ‘Suit’ the Tune The crowd filled the stands awaiting the season opener between North Mar- ion and Fairmont Senior. From the dis- tance, the sound of beating drums could be heard as the Polar Bear Marching Band approached the field. When they entered the stadium, heads turned. “I felt good because I felt really impor- tant and proud, like everyone was look- ing at me,” confessed Hope White, ju- nior. The musicians, clad in new white uni- forms with short-waited jackets, cummerbunds and ruffled ascots, marched onto the field. The uniforms, purchased for use in warmer weather, were trimmed in blue with silver but- tons. “I like the new uniforms. I think they make the band look sharp,” commented Karen Weaver, senior. The Niscinger Uniform Company pro- vided the uniforms at the price of $90 each or $12,000 total. “Even though I like the new uniforms, I think the money could have been used for something we needed more,” ad- mitted Donna Walls, junior. The band members and their parents, and friends and relatives knew to pull out their wallets whenever one of them came to their door. These faithful buyers bought submarines, pointsettias, candy, and fruit. Band members also raised money throughout the year by working at the stadium concession stand, and sponsoring the second annual Calvacade of Bands, A Spook-A-Rama, and two dances. LEADING THE BAND — While entertain- ing the fans during the East-West game, Jayne Traugh, drum majorette, directs the band in “Brand New Day.” Band 57 A Style To Suit Continued The “Whites”, as the band members called the new outfits, caused a few prob- lems for the performers. After every per- formance, band members returned their uniforms to the bandroom. “1 thought it was senseless because they got dirtier in the cabinets than they would in our garment bags,” explained Natalie Christian, senior. Another problem was that the uni- forms were not as cool as expected. Band members often took both uniforms to a performance because they were confused about which ones they were to wear. The band did not let these problems stop them though. The musicians per- formed throughout W'est Virginia and the Eastern United States as they trav- eled to Virginia and Tennessee. The band ended the season with a first place in percussion fromWheeling Park, and in Harrisburg the band earned a chance to perform at the Marching Bands of America Grand Nationals in Johnson City, Tennessee, where the majorettes placed second and the band obtained a 25th rank of 48 top bands from 13 states. The band also fared well in Parkersburg where they secured the first place tro- phy, and in Falls Church the band placed sixth while the majorettes earned a first place award. Throughout the season the Polar Bear Band ranked near the top in standings with their music and their new image. A SPARKLING PERFORMANCE — With heads held high, majorettes Elizabeth Po- shadel, junior, Becky Biafore, sophomore and Linda Balmer, senior, kick to the tune of “Daybreak.” 58 Band TAKIN’ IT EASY — Waiting for practice to resume, band members take time to sit and chat at the armory parking lot. PLAYING IT THEIR WAY - Senior band commanders, Shawn Dunn and Bruce Ma- son, lead the band in promoting spirit dur- ing a basketball thuse. Dunn was named to the WTest Virginia All-State Band. RAISING FUNDS — Tag day provides a portion of the money needed to balance the budget. Freshman, Carol Bland collects money while serving a four hour shift at Thorofare. Band 59 While searching for clever ideas, students discover ways of Beating the Boredom Blues It really can be done! It’s happening in virtually every classroom throughout the school. Student’s have been proving it for years. They know the cure for the boredom blues. Teacher’s spent hours preparing cre- ative lesson plans for students. However, students did not need much time to think of ways to live in dull lectures that teachers try to make interesting. Learning how to beat this boredom just came naturally. The solution may have been twiddling thumbs or as obvi- ous as flying paper airplanes across the room. Teachers noticed students day- dreaming, doodling, or staring out the windows watching squirrels play in the trees. Ingenious students found ways to look attentive, even when they’re not. Count- ing the number of “uhs” a teacher said during a class period became an incon- spicuous way. Writing notes filled the students time almost unnoticed. The notewriters scrib- bled on notebook paper and occasionally looked up so they wouldn’t be under sus- picion. “I either write notes to the person sit- ting next to me or I just write a self- conscience paper,” remarked Tammy VanGilder, senior. Other students found that sleeping in class satisfied their boredom better than anything else they have tried. “Teachers that talk in monotone al- ways put me to sleep”, commented sen- ior Mike Tichenor. Although students thought of ways to beat their boredom, they have not found as many ways to keep from being caught. “After the teacher calls on me I either ask the person sitting next to me the an- swer or make one up quickly myself,” admitted Sandi Stewart, senior. Even with the possibility of being caught, students continued to search for clues to beating the boredom blues. IN HIS OWN WORLD — Taking a break from note taking, Senior Marty Dunnington daydreams about what he will do after school. TAKIN’ A REST — During his Modern Algebra class, freshman Chris Bailey takes time out from his studies to catch “40 “40 winks.” 60 Boredom PLAYTIME — Avoiding their work. Sopho- mores Yvette Coburn and Tracy Jimmie play a game of dots in the library. AVOIDING HIS STUDIES - A view of the campus in the spring keeps Senior Ken Lloyd from reading his World Cultures As- signment. Boredom 61 HARD AT WORK—Senior mathematics students go over their homework assign- ments with the aid of their teacher Mrs. Dennine LaRue. PRINTING PROGRAMS — Third period computer science class uses their time to print their assignments. A senior. Dale Dzielski, watches the printer. REHEARSING — Before broadcasting the radio show, Sophomore Cathy Caldwell tapes the program prior to sending it to the station to be aired. LEARNING THE BASICS - As computers seem to be “taking over the world”, two computer classes gave students an advan- tage over the machine. Sophomore Bill Burns uses the computer to type in an as- signment. Making a point that school does not have to be the same year after year, classes become FUTURE CAREERS — Pre-careers classes allows freshman Paula Cavicchio to learn the career of welding. A Trend Setting Way Of Learning The same old thing ... Classes never seem to change much from year to year. That’s what everyone says. But this year was different from all the others. Six electives added a change of pace to the traditional curriculum and broadened outgoing students’ opportu- nities to expand their education. Computer Science and literacy classes allowed students to learn about the “ma- chine” that seems to be taking over the world. “I got a lot out of class. It may help me to get a better job in the future,” stated Karolyn Wells, junior. Working with numbers may not be ev- eryone’s idea of fun, but the math analy- sis class enabled seniors to sharpen their skills and prepare for college. “Since this class is the equivilant to a pre-calculus course, the class will enable us to have a better understanding of cal- culus, which many of us will have in col- lege,” commented Senior Greg Jones. With new graduation requirements, American Studies I was changed to pre- careers. This gave freshmen a better view of future occupations. During the year, these students had four different teachers changing every nine weeks. “I think pre-careers class is helpful for students who have not decided on a ca- reer but it’s a waste of time for those who have,” stated Carol Wang, freshman. The interdisciplinary studies, alias IDS, gave students time to expand their opinions and ideas. They heard guest speakers, took field trips, and worked on individual projects. Constantly meeting deadlines, the public relations staff struggled to pub- lish a quarterly newsletter issued to all parents. In addition, they wrote the “Bear Facts” columns and broadcasted three weekly radio shows. They also re- ported school news to the Fairmont Times. “I think we’ve achieved our main goals, but we have some extra projects we would work on,” commented Junior Dawn Tucker. In addition of these classes helped stu- dents stay on top of the new trends in academic excellence. New Classes 63 MEETING DEADLINES — Concentrating on their work, Lori Pulice, junior, and Shar- on DeLuca, sophomore, strive to complete copy before their final deadline. IN SEARCH OF A FEATURE - Preparing the newest edition of Hi-Life, Senior Jill Tracy Koppel and Junior Mimi Wallman discuss ideas for a new feature. PHOTO DIRECTOR - At Hemlock Haven Photo Workshop in Marion, Virginia, Miss Nancy Patterson gives instructions to camp participants as the weekend event begins. TYPING IN TUNE - Singing the theme to “The Dating Game,” Senior Stella Gerba types a rough draft copy sheet for Maple Leaves. ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION - Hi-Life staff members Lillian Devison, Mike Ba- sile, Jim DeMasi, Dave Stephenson and Yvette Coburn meet during third period to plan articles for the fourth issue of the newsmagazine. 64 Publications As deadlines rolled around, publications staffers showed a distinct Method to their Madness A bunch of absolute craziness. That’s how most staff members characterized the publications classes. But within all of the havoc and confusion could be found special methods of organization. Some found no way to keep their as- signments straight, admitting that they continually lost their work, but then res- cued it in some dark corner. Others, such as the typists, simply followed the forms supplied to them and had no problems at all. However, they felt it never hurt to sing a happy melody while they typed. Feeling confident that all of the publi- cations would eventually meet their deadlines, Miss Joy Boram, adviser, stated, “As my high school teacher al- ways said, there is a method to this mad- ness. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like it though.” Students rid themselves of the frustra- tion and pressures by having birthday parties and skating parties occasionally. They often ate candy bars and beef jerky as they worked. Advertising managers had the hectic job of coordinating the business con- tracts. “We just have to take one step at a time,” commented Ann Hussey. “We have to take it easy and stay ahead of ourselves.” One thing was for sure.

The momentum climbed as the varsity squad tried to out psyche their first oppo- nent. “It looked like it was our ball game,” reflected Kicker Marty Dunnington. The Polar Bears were the first to score when Chris Cop- ley led a 60-yard drive and then connected with Bobby Amos for a 20-yard touch- down. At first it appeared that Husky Quint Nicholson had intercepted, but Amos stripped the ball from the de- fender and was awarded the six points. According to DeLorenzo, the team became over confi- dent with a 20-13 half-time lead as North Marion scored three more times closing down the second half to the Blue and White with 33-20 opening loss. Following the North Mar- ion defeat, the Bears were put to the test against the Mor- gantown Mohigans. This game was one of the most cru- cial games of the season and would prove whether or not the Bears would be a contend- er for a playoff berth. These hopes were kept alive as the screaming fans watched Sum- lin gain 109 yards leading a 21-0 shutout. The Bears went on the road as they pounced on the Philip Barbour Colts 35-0 and Graf- ton 41-7. In these games the coaching staff came up with a few surprises. Against the Colts, Toothman was main- tained to only 43-yards on the ground, but hauled in two passes for over 100-yards, while the following week against the Bearcats, DeLor- enzo had a chance to see two other backs, Tom Green and Mike Allevato, who rushed for 47 and 36 yards respectively.

Bear the Pressure Continued Following a tough win at Buckhannon Upshur, the Ti- gers of Elkins 27-14 and the ulcers kept building. Indeed, all of the fans could have easi- ly developed ulcers also after a gruelling 14-7 Homecoming Victory over the Oak Glen Golden Bears. “After each win the tension kept building and building until the Bridgeport game,” expressed Sophomore Aaron Kocsis. Tension was definitely in the air when the student body was refused the right to have an assembly, so at 7:30 Friday morning, the band marched through the halls preparing the team emotionally for the big game with the Indians. The undefeated Number One ranked Indians didn’t stay on top long when they met the Polar Bears. Toothman showed his versatility on de- fense as he intercepted a pass, helping the Bears hold Bridgeport to 100 yards. With this victory the Polar Bears needed only to win their re- maining game against cross- town rival East Fairmont. Although the tough West defense contained East to minimal yardage in the first half, both teams went into the locker room tied at 7-7. After the Bears scored making it 13-7, DeLorenzo’s strategy was put to the test when Jon “Turk” Snider made a “Hail Mary” touch- down catch putting the Bees ahead by one point late in the fourth quarter. Unaware of the time since the scoreboard did not work, West was facing yet another crucial test to keep their playoff hopes alive. With the tension building, Toothman received the ball on a handoff from Copley, fol- lowed his lead blocker and ex- ploded down the sideline for a 42-yard game winning touch- down, clinching a playoff berth. BREAKING AWAY — Tom Greene (23) sets up a score in this photo essay. Green rushed for 43 yards before being brought down by Tom Morrone (12). Regular Season 71 Game by game, the Polar Bears advanced to Charleston with hopes of becoming State Champions, but in the end, eight bus loads of fans returned home proud and still Daydream Believers The thought of the Polar Bears winning the State Championship became a spe- cial dream of Head Coach Bob DeLorenzo. The team and the fans alike had no idea what was in store for them, but in more than one way, De- Lorenzo’s dream soon turned into everyone’s dream. After recuperating from in- juries, the Toothman — Sum- lin duo dominated the offen- sive statistics and a strong de- fense led the way as the Bears qualified for the semifinals by blanking the Barboursville Pirates 17-0. After a scoreless first quar- ter, West started this drive from deep in Bear territory. Chris Copley led the offense to a fourth down at the Bar- boursville 44-yard line. The fears of another drive being stopped was quickly put to rest when Sumlin outwitted the Pirate defense with an 11- yard fake punt. Several plays later the Sophomore fullback scored from 12 yards out, ending the half with a seven point lead. Although the Bears were ahead, they did earn their lead by stopping several scor- ing opportunities from the seventh-ranked team. Tooth- man, the All-Marion defen- sive back, made the first key defensive play when he inter- cepted a pass in the end zone ending the first half threat to tie the game. An additional series of defensive plays held the opponents scoreless when West prevented a score from the 23 when Jon Cain dropped Barboursville for a 9-yard loss or fourth down. In the final quarter, Marty Dunnington kicked a 39-yard field goal and Toothman scored from two yards out as the cool Friday night turned into a nightmare for the visit- ing Pirates. For the second consecutive week, the defensive team was the keyfactor in West’s 13-3 win over the Brooke County Bruins. Down by a field goal, the Bear offense, which only gained 147 yards all night, droveto the Bruins 17 yards line. Here Toothman rolled to the right and completed a touchdown pass to Bob Amos who fought for the ball and came down with the comple- tion, ending the half ahead 7- 3.

The second of three fumbles caused by the defense came in the third quarter when Kermit Not- tingham picked off a mishan- dled pitch out and raced into the end zone untouched for the final score of 13-3. Fortunately, the muddy rain-drenched field played into the outstretched arms of the Polar Bears’ team. These stunning facts put the team and fans into a daze as they awaited a championship “dream game” against their bitter rivals North Marion. Two first quarter fumbles THE FINISHING TOUCHES Kicking Specialist Marty Dun- nington (22) adds the extra point while Chris Copley (11) holds diving the 17-0 win over Barboursville. by North Marion in their ter- ritory appeared to give West the momentum to run away with the game, but the Hus- kies held both times. The Bears staged a come- back during the second half of the bitter cold game by put- ting together strong drives and eventually pushing Sum- lin into the end zone. Several drives proved to be non-prof- itable as the final score re- flected many shattered dreams. Even though the game end- ed in the Huskies’ favor, De- Lorenzo stressed how he didn’t regret one moment of play and was extremely proud of the team and the fans.

Always playing second fiddle to the Polar Bear football team, the cross country runners seemed to have an Overshadowed Success Cross country is filled with ups and downs and runners in desperate need of a downhill stretch in the finale of a race. At the base of a hill looking up, they may wonder why they ever took up the sport. Regardless of the pain-filled races or the reason for run- ningin these meets, many runners hit the pavement day after day in search of the fin- ish line. The search ended not just when they crossed the wire in the meets, but when they looked back at the sea- son and had the satisfaction of knowing that all the work and preparation had paid off. The work did pay off for the team, but they seemed to be overshadowed by the suc- cess of the football team. They did not place first in the majority of the meets, yet they never placed lower than fourth. Almost always there were contenders for the top five finishers. Yet, even with these accomplishments, few people knew of their success. The team participated in their first meet at Apple Val- ley. The only schools compet- ing included Fairmont Senior and East Fairmont. Team scores were not kept, but indi- vidual times showed that Junior Gary Cheslock cap- tured a second-place finish. At home in the next meet, the Polar Bears outran all area schools and placed fourth overall. Experiencing the sweet smell of success at Liberty, Coach Tom Dragich and his team claimed a first-place fin- ish. Cheslock again came in second, Junior Chud Dollison third and Senior Brian Hen- derson, fourth.

Dollison helped his team take a fourth place finish. Overshadowed Success Continued At Philip-Barbour the Po- lar Bears stayed in familiar territory by coming in fourth and then went to Morgan- town where they took first place. Next, they traveled to Elkins and finished seventh. Once again the team traveled to Liberty and, in a larger field of competition, placed fourth. Individual times gave Cheslock 5th place, Dollison 10th, and Henderson 12th. In a Big Ten meet at El- kins, the Polar Bears again outran area schools and ac- quired fourth overall. Ches- lock received Big Ten honors when he crossed the finish line in 5th place. Dollison earned 9th, Henderson 10th, and Doug Hannah 21st. At Regionals, the Bears also took fourth place and Cheslock’s fifth-place time was good enough to get him into states, where he claimed 25th. Because the attention of the fans had been focused elsewhere, the cross country team finished with an over- shadowed success.

Cross Country 79 Improving over last year, the Girls Basketball team showed that they were Stepping in the Right Direction Winning only 27 per cent of your games would be enough to depress the most optimis- tic of teams, but the Polar Bear Girls found the exper- ience to be a step in the right direction. Second-year Coach Lynda Zicafoose and her eight-mem- ber squad finished the season with a 4 and 15 record, but according to Zicafoose it was not all that bad. “You have to consider the fact that we don’t even have enough people to scrimmage at practice,” stated Zicafoose. This factor proved a detri- ment in more ways than one. The inability to get to prac- tice time created an obvious problem while limited substi- tution due to lack of players caused early tiring. When players began getting in foul trouble, all of these problems combined to pull down the quality of play. Throughout the season the Bears had a balanced scoring attack with each of the start- ing five taking their turn at high scorer. Senior Jana Lamb finished strong at the season’s end to become the team’s leading scorer with an 8.9 pt. game average. Sopho- more Marsha Thompson fol- lowed with an 8 pt. average and Senior Priscilla Linear with an average of 7 points. The Polar Bear record did not take them any further than Regional action, but they did accomplish improv- ing over last year.Freshman- Forward Rosemary Enos looked back at the year with a good attitude. “Although we didn’t win many games, I gained much experience in my freshman year and I’m really looking forward to next year.” ON THE REBOUND — Senior Jana Lamb pulls down a strong rebound for the Polar Bears in a game at Fifth St. As a for- ward, Lamb not only provided the rebounding game, but put the points on the board as well.

Cheering in a state tourna- ment not once, but twice, gave the spirited leaders quite a thrill. This, along with be- coming close friends and meeting new people at camp and tournament games, made their year fulfilling with the exception of one final goal. “The unique closeness ex- isting on our squad gave us the extra sparkle that helped us achieve the award for ‘Best Cheerleaders’ in our Section. This allowed us to obtain our ultimate goal — beating North Marion,” revealed Senior Michele Wimer. The group never fell apart under pressure, and succeed- ed in raising school spirit. Junior Sheila Post summed up the year. “Although we didn’t get many breaks in the games played, our year was successful.

Uniforms, disagreements, attendance and apathy were all part of the Ups and Downs Problems, problems, prob- lems! It was simply one right after the other for the Fresh- man and Junior - Varsity Cheerleaders. Arguments began when the sophomores discovered that they could not try out for var- sity cheerleader in the spring of‘81. Flashing the colors of blue and white was truly an honor, but the cheerleaders request- ed new uniforms to replace the old ones, which were be- coming out dated and shabby. Stephanie Bock, freshman cheerleader, commented, “I think we should have uni- forms of better quality and variety.” After-school practices called for dedication and the willingness to learn new cheers. However, the girls sometimes bickered among themselves. “During the first part of the year there were several mis- understandings with the var- sity cheerleaders, but then we all began to get closer,” stated Marina Fotiou, Junior Varsi- ty cheerleader. Poor attendance at games and lack of appreciation con- tributed to the problems the cheerleaders faced. Despite the numerous problems, the year was enjoy- able and successful. The ex- perience of cheering at the state championship football game and thuses and then winning the Freshman Bas- ketball Tournament high- lighted the year.

Freshman Cheerleaders 85 A remarkable season provided fans with Action Worth Watching FIGHTING FOR POSSESSION — Against a Lewis County op- ponent, Senior Kris Stricklin battles for the rebound. Strick- lin came off the bench through- out the year to give the Bears more of a threat underneath. At one time or another, al- most everyone has either read or been told a fairy tale. It is not often, however, that peo- ple are able to participate in one. The Varsity Basketball Team got this privilege by coming off an 8-13 season to compile a 19-1 regular season record. Second-year Coach Bill Lawson’s team opened the season with only one return- ing starter, Senior Dave Rit- chie. In the first game of the year the team debuted the talents of Sophomores Roy Sumlin and Kevin Everhart against a taller Lewis County team. They started off on the right foot by downing the minutemen 79-57. The next opponent for the cagers was rival North Marion. Everhart and Ritchie both tossed in over 20 points while Rick Toothman led the defense to comeback victory over the Huskies. In the third game of the season, Senior Eric Everhart became eligible. Against Bridgeport the newcomer scored 14 points. The squad was not able to pull out the win though and lost their only regular season game on the Indians’ home floor. SURROUNDED BY INDIANS — With three Bridgeport de- fenders around him, Senior Rick Toothman tries to put it through the hoop. ALL ALONE — With no one around to stop him, Junior Dave Calabrase puts in an easy jumper to secure the win. This game was typical of all others on the season because they won every contest on their home floor. LONG REACH — Reaching out to pull in a stray pass, Senior Eric Everhart keeps the ball out of Husky hands.

Washington Irving rolled into town and almost over the Bears. The poise of the team came through behind the clutch play of Junior Doug Hannah to win a squeaker in overtime 61-58. The second half of the year went even better for the Polar Bears. The squad revenged their only loss by dumping Bridgeport 55-45 in the re- turn match. Ritchie sparked a superb defensive effort that forced the opposition into 20 turnovers. After beating Li- berty, the squad took on East Fairmont. They got the highpowered offense on track to demolish the Bees 73-48. The most emotional game came at the sold out North Marion High School gym dur- ing the last game. Eric Ever- hart guided the team with 30 points and 15 rebounds along with a couple of great plays by Junior Mark Zeck with time running out. An unrelenting defense turned a 12-point de- feat at halftime into a 63-53 victory to the delight of a huge, highly-spirited student body following. With the win, the team wrote the last chapter of the fairy tale by attaining a rank- ing of third in the state. “At the beginning of the year I thought we would have a competitive team. Through the season they proved to be champions,” Lawson said summarizing the season. HELPING THE CAUSE — Adding more points to the Polar Bear total, Doug Han- nah passes his opponent and lays it in.

The Bears opened tourna- ment play against East Fair- mont. This was the third meeting of the year between the teams. After leading by only eight points at halftime, the squad ran roughshod over the Bees in the second half dominating both offensively and defensively. The Polar Bears also held a huge lead in rebounding 57-24, and com- pletely blew out East Fair- mont 72-40. The Sectional final saw an- other highly emotional re- match with arch-rivals North Marion. After playing to a deadlock in the first quarter, West managed a slim 3-point lead at the intermission. In the third quarter the Huskies were able to turn another point off the lead to make it 44-42. Then, to the amaze- ment of the 3,200 fans, un- known Kris Stricklin took charge. His heroics put the game out of reach and allowed the Bears to capture the Sec- tional Championship.

He came through when we needed him most,” Lawson explained after the win. Kevin Everhart pumped in 23 points in the 63-54 victory. Moving into Regional play in Buckhannon, the team faced the Lewis County Min- uteman. Lewis County fought them all the way until the last 45 seconds of the game. Get- ting into early foul trouble, West was forced to go to the bench early. The reserves were up to the task, however, and were able to hold off the threat. Two free throws by Doug Hannah with 28 sec- onds to play sealed the 61-52 win. Dave Ritchie and Kevin Everhart shared high scoring honors tossing in 13 points each. Next came the state tour- nament in Charleston. With the aid of a large following who made the trip, the Bears attempted to take down pe- rennial powerhouse Logan. The game was close at half- time with the Wildcats lead- ing by 5 points. Logan ex- ploded in the third quarter for 22 points to put the con- test away. Logan had four players in double figures in eliminating West 73-1 and ending the quest for the state title. Although the basketball team wasn’t able to win the championship, they had their best season since 1949. They ended the season with a fan- tastic 22-2 record and sweet memories of a great season for all involved. Tournaments 93 Once the successful season concluded with West dominating the area mats, the Bears sent 11 men to state tournament, expanding their domain, and established Wheeling as a Polar Region Opening the season with wins against Buckhannon- Upshur and East gave the area a glance at what was in store for them in the remain- ing wrestling matches of the season. Until concluding the season with 11 out of 12 grapplers qualifying for state action, the Bears ended the season with a 16-4-1 record. Bringing back to the school the first important cham- pionship of the season, the teams Big Ten Championship at Elkins was highlighted by Coach Joe Naternicola being named Big Ten Coach of the Year. The Bears had no prob- lems running away with the event. West kept rolling, thus making the team the favorite to win the Region II Cham- pionship. The Bears made their mark with 10 of 12 mat- men in the top two seeds. This match was far consid- ered the most important of the meets. This was the do or die meet to the team since the top grapplers would qualify for state action. James Harton opened up the final day with a fast mov- ing 11-9 championship win. “The reason the team did so well is because of the team’s aggressiveness,” com- mented four-year matmaid Stella Gerba.

The next two West wins be- came the most exciting of the two-day event. Seniors Rockie DeLorenzo and Jon Cain topped the 132 and 145- pound weight class. DeLor- enzo squeaked by his Keyser opponent by two points, while Cain won by the first take- down in overtime. Bruce Wilson and Joe Le- pera also copped champion- ships while wrapping up a 50- point win followed North Marion and Keyser. Also qualifying for states were Rusty Wilson, Andy Robin- son, Joe Haller, Eddie Lamb and Tony Jones. Once in Wheeling, West had Bruce and Rusty Wilson finishing third, and Joe Le- pera and Jon Cain finishing fourth with several other grapplers finishing fifth and sixth places. These results boosted the team to a close 4th place in the state. “We really worked hard and long for everything we achieved, but we owe every- thing to our coach, Joe Nater- nicola,” stated Joe Lepera.

I was really bummed out and I had an empty feel- ing,” reflected Senior Paul Rowand. Attempting to live up to the high expectations, the teams were hampered by various in- juries and technicalities. Rowand’s injury came in the middle of a crucial Big Ten match which would have de- cided the team’s champion- ship. Rowand was forced to forfeit his singles and doubles match. Thus the team fell short by one point to an ag- gressive Morgantown team. In addition to Rowand’s in- REGIONAL PLAY - Executing the drop shot, Number One seed, Chud Dollison, defeats Tennant from University High 6-0, 6-1. jury in the Big Ten, Senior Jay Vangilder became ill just before the Regionals in Mor- gantown.

While Vingle was play- ing, Rowand came back from his injury prematurely to play his match in the first round on an extremely tender ankle. Similar to the boys’ team, the girls also had an injury to Number One seed Marsha Thompson’s arm. She played the entire year with torn liga- ments in her left arm. Thompson made the best of it, though, as she advanced to the to the quarterfinals of the Regionals until being beaten by the champion, Bev Bar- nett of Morgantown.

Tennis 101 Qualifying for states was their Final Pay-off “I did it! I’m going to states!”, were the only words Freshman Margaret Blake could utter between sweat and tears of joy as she stum- bled across the finish line first in the two-mile run at Region- als. Margaret and 15 other girls stuck out a full track season together sharing each other’s victories and defeats with one common goal in mind, quali- fying for states. They were often cheated of the full credit they deserved, but their dedication and de- votion finally paid off. During Regionals in Morgantown. Lana Newcome, Stella Gerba, Kim Sumlin, Michele Hen- derson, Adelia Tate, and Margaret Blake showed their true colors by qualifying for States. “I never dreamed of mak- ing it to states. I always did my best and I always got points for the team. For me that was enough. Then I qualified for states. After four years of track, I finally made it,” said Senior Stella Gerba.

Injuries and inexperience meant Starting Over At the beginning of the track season Coach Tom Dra- gich was faced with starting over from scratch to form a practically whole new track team. Most of the lettermen were retired through gradu- ation and the start of a new season brought in a lot of new, but green blood. They worked hard all year and went into Regionals with a very optimistic attitude, but achieved little success. Jeff Burdoff placed fifth in the discus, Marcus Jackson placed fourth in the 400-me- ter run, and the one and two- mile relay teams placed fifth. However, none qualified for states. Gary Cheslock and Clinton Parker were the only two who did qualify. Gary fin- ished first in the 880-yard run with a time of 1:59.45 and Clinton placed third in the long jump competition. The team placed seventh over-all in the meet. “Injuries to key people like Thomas Saunders before the season and Donald Scott dur- ing the Morgantown Invita- tional along with inexperi- enced personnel were the key factors involved in the team’s generally unsuccessful year. Improvement by Gary Ches- lock, Clinton Parker, and Jeff Burdoff make next year look promising,’’ said Coach Dra- gich.

Boys’ Track 105 ONE ON ONE — Confronting his opponent in a pitcher-batter duel, Senior Angelo Viani fires home to possibly add to his team leading strikeout total. Nobody had to tell opponents how good the Polar Bear Baseball Team was because Their Bats Spoke For Themselves What could be better than a day at the ball park. The organist playing those famil- iar baseball melodies, the smell of popcorn and hot dogs in the air, and the crack of the bat when those familiar names came up swinging. Watson Field did lack an organist, and hot dogs and popcorn couldn’t be found anywhere, but there was no doubt that those familiar names of Zeck, Dunnington, Marshall, Gough, and many others normally didn’t disap- point the watching crowd. The bats were heard over the county louder than any other team, finishing with a team average of .322. Mark Zeck finished the year as the county batting champion with a .494 average. His 15 doubles and 5-round trippers were the league’s tops also. His bat, along with Senior Mike Gough who finished fifth, Mark Marshall finish- ing seventh, and Marty Dun- nington eighth, helped the Bears get plenty of runs across the plate, but it just wasn’t enough. In the Sec- tional Tournament they were outscored 9 to 4 by the Hus- kies and 8 to 7 by the Univer- sity Hawks in the double elimination tournament. Along with the hitting, the Bears had some excellent pitching. Also, Senior Angelo Viani, named Most Out- standing Baseball Player of the Season, came close to a no-hitter against Buckhan- non, but settled for a one-hit shutout.

The Bears won the contest 7-0 on a one-hitter pitching performance by Ange- lo Viani. “Angelo has been a pleas- ant surprise for us. We never counted on this kind of pitch- ing from him,” commented Coach Dan Kupets. Viani fin- ished second in the county in pitching with an outstanding ERA of 1.86. They did manage to pick up a win in the tourney defeating the Mohigans 4 to 1. Also finishing the year as the county’s top hitters were Donnie and Jerry Retton. The Retton brothers contrib- uted to the diamond what the Everhart brothers did to the basketball court. Senior Bruce Wilson finished 21st with a .288 average. The excitement of a slug- ging contest and the anticipa- tion of a chance at states kept the crowd coming back for more, but as every major league fan knows, only two teams have a chance at the big one. That ball park atmo- sphere was always there if the fancy stadiums and tradition- al organ music was not. Any fan can tell you that those Po- lar Bear bats made the best noises around. 108 Varsity Baseball PUTTING DOWN THE TAG — Doug Hannah.

They were also an inspiration to my playing,” commented Senior Bruce Mason. The team opened the sea- son with a loss to the two time defending champion, Buck- hannon at the Bears home course, the Fairmont Field Club. They avenged the loss with a 164 to 165 win over University in their first away match. At Bridgeport, the team battled the elements and managed a second place finish just behind Bridgeport and in front of Roosevelt Wil- son. PUTT FOR PAR - Showing his putting form, John Markovich shoots for par. In the middle of the season the Bears stumbled upon a five-game winning streak with wins against Lincoln, Grafton, twice, North Marion and Philip Barbour. North Marion and Buck- hannon stopped the streak in a quad-match at Green Hills. West still managed to finish third by beating Lincoln for a second time. The Bears finished eighth in the Big Ten Tournament, but bounced back with a third place finish in the Regional Match at Grafton. West was paced by Basile with 82; Toothman and Markovich with 89, and Oliveto with 95. Basile summed up the year by saying, “It was a year of rebuilding.

West did not have this advantage. The FOP Colts, Bellview Bull- dogs, the Barrackville Bisons served as the “feeder teams” for the cubs. The cubs opened their sea- son against what was soon to be a bitter rival. The cubs dropped this opening game to North Marion by a decisive margin of 26-8. After this defeat, the young team bounced back winning the next two games. Philip Barbour was their first victo- ry as they wiped out the Colts 36-6 and stopped Grafton on their own field. The squad lost their next game to the Bridgeport Indi- ans in their closest game of the season 12-8. Bouncing back, the cubs knocked off Elkins 34-18 highlighted by three touch- down passes from Quarter- back Sean Cosco. Keeping their streak alive, the young Bears went on a rampage against East with Frankie Campbell leading the way with three touchdowns, one of which was a 60-yard in- terception. Following a 24-6 romp of Buckhannon, the cubs re- venged their opening season loss with an easy 20-0 win. LAST MINUTE INSTRUC- TIONS — Asst.

Excitement mounted as substitutes came off the bench to lend versatility to the squad. Top scorer on the year was forward Clinton Parker, who not only provided points, but also excitement. Much like a star of the NBA, his moment of glory came when, in a Graf- ton game, he performed his first dunk. Next in scoring was Sopho- more Pete Fuscaldo. Al- though he played varsity, he got a chance to get in actual game time in the games. His shots from the parking lot high-lighted the game and he was occasionally accompa- nied by Junior Dave Cala- brase who was third in scor- ing. Calabrase equaled Fus- caldo’s long range shots and when both were in the lineup, opposing guards had extra floor area to cover. The inside play of Juniors Gary Cheslock and Eric Car- penter caused nightmares for opposing forwards as their ag- gressive play was a major part of the victories and also a ma- jor cause of foul problems. Scorekeepers were kept busy penciling in substitu- tions. The long-range shoot- ing guards, the turn-around jumpers, dunks, and behind- the-back passes on the fast break added excitement even when the team was behind.

That’s what coaching is all about. Sup- portive families and fans and true love of the sport make coping with long hours and pressures easier. Mrs. Jo Lawson, wife of Basketball Coach Bill Law- son admitted, “During bas- ketball season the family has to pull together and support him. The kids have to sacri- fice because basketball is it.” The transformation from teacher to coach and vice ''ersa can be difficult. “There are so many ups and downs. If he’s down after a loss, then he has to get ‘up’ to teach. Then it’s a whole dif- ferent ball game,” added Mrs. Lawson. Head Football Coach Bob DeLorenzo explained that his family has to endure many in- terruptions in the evenings and on weekends. They are susceptible to his moods and cope because they love him.

Whether fun or not, it’s a must if you are being initiated into Quill Scroll. The methods of inducting new members varied from club to club. Most conformed to the tradition of a formal ceremony with oaths and can- dles. However, there were still those non-conformists. New members of French Honorary met at the home of Lee Ann Myers and enter- tained the old members. “I had to imitate Mick Jagger. It’s a little embarrassing, but since everyone had to make a fool of themselves, it made the whole induction pretty funny,” stated Greg Jones, senior. Then there were those who had both types of inductions. The Keywanettes and a “play day” to get to know prospec- tive members. They made their selection based on the evaluation of the teachers and Keywanettes. If chosen, the new members attended a for- mal induction. “I thought the ‘play day’ was really fun. I enjoyed it and the formal induction, but I think I’ll have even more fun next year when I get to watch,” exclaimed Delora De- Bellis, junior. Whatever the type of in- duction, all of the clubs had a specific purpose, and once the fun was over, the work began. Pressure of embarrassment at initiations and inductions should probably be consid- ered before joining certain clubs ... especially if you do not want to be on exhibit be- fore the entire student body. Inductions 123 Volunteers gained personal satisfaction by Doing Unto Others It might have been a foot- ball game, a theatrical pro- duction, a Choralier concert, Homecoming or Prom, but each had one thing in com- mon. Whether they were the stars on the playing field or the stage or working behind the scenes, students added that “caring touch” to each project or event during the school year. Often, students would stay long after the final bell on weekends and during the summer vacation. This same dedication that students showed for the school was also expanded throughout the community in the form of volunteer work for the needy. During the season both the Key Club, Keywanettes and Interact rang bells to collect money for the Salvation Army downtown and in the Middletown Mall. To help local families dur- ing the Special Olympics at East Fairmont Municipal Park, Key Club members contributed their services while Interact raised $75 sell- ing candy bars to sponsor five participants. Collecting money on Lolli- pop Day for cancer research, Keywanettes also raised mon- ey for Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, and Ce- rebral Palsy. Counselor Mary Jo Roman commented, “I think the ser- vices students do are worth- while and offer valuable ex- periences for those who par- ticipate.” 124 Service Clubs SCHOOL SERVICE - Perform- ing during a thuse, Senior Lisa Morris and Junior Anne Posha- del help promote school spirit.

Service Clubs 125 Homework, research papers and special projects piled up on students with Excused Absences A trip to Williamsburg ... great! That means two days excused from school... that’s even better. However, for the Keywan- ettes these excused absences turned into real ones. Some- where in Virginia they caught “the bug.” Ten of the mem- bers stayed home sick for at least two more days recover- ing from the virus. The trips sounded good at first. But when all the excite- ment wore off and the buses arrived at school, the images changed to reality. They walked into their room and saw a pile of books and then they remembered ... “I’ve got homework!” Sometimes it seemed they’d never get any rest. Stu- dents were tired because they didn’t get to bed any earlier than three o’clock every night and now homework keeps them awake. “I never get to bed earlier than three o’clock anyway, but when I come back from a trip and am faced with tons of homework, it’s murder!” com- mented Senior Greg Jones. Keywanettes travelled to Williamsburg and Charleston while Key Club went to Beck- ley, Spanish Club ventured to Davis and Elkins College and Pittsburgh, DECA explored Parkersburg and Washing- ton, D.C., and the FBLA jour- neyed to Pittsburgh. Even though the work was tough after the trip, students talked about their experience for weeks afterwards.

These clubs created a break for teenagers and re- lieved the many tensions of school work and classes. Freeing their minds and al- lowing students to excel in their skills such as drawing paintings, graphics and callig- raphy, the Art Club provided a Christmas Workshop for the school faculty and made decorations for the Junior- Senior Prom and the Sadie Hawkins dance. The Industrial Arts Clubs performed valuable services to the school by repairing broken furniture from delapi- dated desks to trembling ta- bles. Students who gathered to- gether to discuss and read about Biblical times, as well as explain their feelings and beliefs, indulged themselves in the Bible Club. Mr. Brian Cole, adviser, commented that salvation, too, was one of the main objectives of the club. “Being involved in clubs was one of the main things that kept me from going crazy when I got bogged down with school work. It provided the relief I needed,” stated Senior Erika Stewart. BIBLE STUDY - Bible Club meets on Blue Club days and after school in order to have discussions.

State representatives elected Lori for a one-year term. 130 Competitive Clubs MAKING PLANS — Group dis- cussions aid the speech team in finding transportation to their next meet. Victorious or not, every competitor needs Total Concentration Not a sound is heard. The clock ticks the minutes away. Finally, he moves and the re- sult is devastating as the word “checkmate” is heard. This could have been a typical scene at one of the chess tournaments. The team traveled to matches and host- ed a Winter Invitational Tournament. Many clubs competed dur- ing the year. FBLA had a typ- ist going to states and DECA attended the annual State Convention. Spanish Club went to Davis Elkins College with David BUTTERFLIES IN THE STOMACH — After practicing for weeks in advance. Junior Michele Dalton competes in the talent contest at the Keywan- ette Convention. Michele won in the individual division. Roberts, freshman, placing first in recitation and Juniors Lisa Cole, Lisa Gianettino and Mike Moffa winning in the skit category. Such contests produced in- ner fears depending on the type of challenge. Participa- tion in contests which put students on the spot caused “butterflies in the stomach.” “I was mostly nervous be- fore I got on stage. While per- forming, I didn’t even see the people!” exclaimed David Roberts, freshman. Once the stage emptied and the competitors cleared the auditorium, the students squealed with relief. Al- though much concentration went into the presentations, audiences across the state heard the voice of the Bears. Competitive Clubs 131 SIGHTS ON THE FUTURE — Preparing for the months ahead. Adviser James Cimino and Senior Mike Saporito dis- cuss activities for French Hon- orary. Honor clubs inspire scholarly students to Make the Grade Everyone has that one thing that they like to do. For some, it’s having a good time. For others, it’s making the grade that counts. Many students strived to achieve their goal for making an “A.” The clubs that go along with class subjects be- came a reward. “The activities that clubs offer gave me a needed break from school work,” revealed Jenny Bomar, junior. The activities these honor- ary clubs had to offer includ- ed formal inductions and elections. For instance, clubs such as Spanish Honorary held a Spanish Fiesta, which involved the entire school, along with taking trips which provided learning exper- iences. Also, the Latin Club organized a Roman Banquet in which students provided entertainment while dressed in togas. Clubs also attended field trips and enjoyed pic- nics. Brian Holochwost, Spanish Honorary member, comment- ed “Taking extra classes real- ly proved to be worth it. Being in an honor club, I had so much fun.” The honorary clubs offered a lot to all students who took the opportunity to get in- volved. “To get accepted into most clubs, one must not perform academically. But, accep- tance into an honorary re- quires the academic perfor- mance,” stated Latin Club and Honorary Adviser, Mrs. Julia Shaw. 132 Honorary Clubs LATIN DRAMATICS — At the annual Roman Banquet, Ju- niors Jeff Wang, Randall Lem- ley and Senior Jayne Traugh participate in a skit.

Honorary Clubs 133 Kathryn Beich grew addictive as students ran to The ‘BAR’ Scene Candy bars, beef jerky, candles, fruit... would it ever end? Organizations sold these products at one time or an- other and many grew tired of hearing, “Wanna buy a candy bar?” Candy bars were the major money maker. Chocolate seemed to come out of the walls and people craved this “in-between meal” treat. Groups selling delicious de- lights included the band, Thespians, Choraliers, mat maids, Latin Club, Chess Club, and the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Sen- ior Classes. When the chocolate bars could no longer be found, clubs began selling fruit, beef jerky and submarines. Keywanettes, Quill and Scroll and the band supplemented the students’ and teachers’ diets. Selling food did not provide the only means of income for clubs. Candles, calendars, first aid kits, spices, dama- seals and Rex All-Purpose cleaner were all up for grabs to the first bidder. “It seems like the only time I see my friends, parents or my neighbors is when I’m sell- ing something,” commented Senior Terri Walker. “It gets quite monotonous selling year after year.” The one thing that bugged students most about selling items was having to harass friends in the halls to buy their products. The second problem was coming up short of the total collected because a good friend said, “Trust me. I’ll pay you tomorrow.” The “bar scene” offered something for everyone re- gardless of age or ... taste.

No one really plans to be- come “a legend in his own time.” It just hap- pens. The drive to succeed in a chosen area is part of the person’s nature. But unlike commercials for products, such as British Sterling, peo- ple have to develop their per- sonal talent. Bill Leskovar, a 1947 gra- duate, became famous in football under Coach Bear Bryant at the University of Kentucky after setting new records during his high school career. The nationwide dispute over the possibility of making a beer commercial led the Po- lar Bear Majorettes to in- stant fame when they per- formed for a Philadelphia 76’ers basketball game. But building an image that the student body respected took effort and dedication. Whether the Polar Bear tradition is instinctive or just carefully developed ... The Legend Lives On in . . . HEREDITY — Coming from all walks of life, the student body and faculty members show the ever- present pride for their school. People People Divider 137 Students who thought glasses were a problem found a quick solution: contact lenses. They knew that Seeing Is Believing Whether far-sighted or near-sighted, glasses became a big nuisance. For those fortunate enough, contact lenses offered an alternative to the “four-eyes” syn- drome. Most people wanted them because they improved their appearance, but some students found them as big a pain as glasses. “Once when I was putting in (one of) my contacts, suddenly it was gone. When I looked in the mirror, it was in my hair. I don’t know how it got there,” stated Carol Wang. Some students complained that glass- es could be a bother during class. “They’re a real pain in the neck be- cause you have to take them on and off during class,” exclaimed Lillian Devison. Glasses can also be a hindrance in some activities, causing students to plead for contact lenses. “Contacts are a lot better than glasses, especially in the summer when you get hot and they (glasses) slide off your nose,” exclaimed Diana Irons. For those lucky enough to have the opportunity, contact lenses help to lift one’s self-image and confidence. There were, however, some disadvan- tages to having contacts. All owners of contact lenses are advised to carry a card with them at all times stating that they do wear them. In case of an emergency, the speed with which the contacts are removed could determine future eye- sight. Another problem for students who be- gan wearing contacts was the hours sys- tem. In this system, the student added more hours of wearing time each day. The problem? At the start four hours time was the limit, which sometimes in- terfered with class time. One last solution to the problem of contact lenses and glasses developed through modern technology. Surgeons found a way to have the lenses implanted into the eyes of the patient. This proce- dure, however, could be painful and ex- pensive, and was in the experimental stages. After examining all options, a host of alternatives existed for those afflicted with poor eyesight.

They are the so- called “leaders” and “trend-setters.” However, many underclassmen were envious of the extra attention and the privileges received by seniors. Their opinions would probably change to a more positive attitude when their twelfth year of school arrived. Being a senior has all the advantages of which freshmen can only dream. They get to participate in the Junior-Senior Prom, the Senior Assembly and they re- lax between classes and at lunch on the Senior Court. They can get permission to leave school early and eventually they win recognition honors and awards for their service to the school. Freshmen sometimes speculated about what they’d so as seniors. “I would take as much home study and study halls as I could,” exclaimed Mi- chelle Smith. “I’d want the seniors to be freshmen so I could give them a taste of their own medicine and I would spend my whole day relaxing and having fun on the Sen- ior Court,” explained Scott Plivelich. “I would drive my car to school every day instead of riding the bus,” stated Mike Julian. Freshmen dreamed of their gradu- ation and the status which comes with being a senior and plunged into the stream of school life with enthusiasm. Cross to Lee 141 Incoming freshmen were officially inducted in a summer afternoon. Many felt Polar Bear pride while the staff observed The Day of New Arrivals Mixed feelings filled the air as stu- dents entered the auditorium on the morning of August 25. Facial expressions ranged from worried to not caring one way or another. It was the morning of Freshman Orientation. New arrivals to the school seated themselves in the auditorium for their induction. The short assembly lasted for 20-30 minutes. Any student in distress easily found their next class with the assistance of guides stationed throughout the school. “Everything was set up so nice. We were taken to all of our classes. The hos- tess answered any questions we asked them,” explained David DeLorenzo. The senior court served as the refresh- ment stand. The main items on the menu consisted of cookies and punch. Stu- dents found this extra time needed to catch their wits. “I am glad that we had a break. It gave me a chance to see all my friends and to find out where my next class would be!” explained Erik Harris. Entertainment provided an important element on this special day. Contribu- tions by the majorettes, who performed to “Sing, Sing, Sing”, and the cheer- leaders and the mascot encouraged school spirit in the new freshmen. “The majorettes were really great! They made me feel like part of the crowd”, stated Jason Caldwell. Mr. John D. Tennant Jr., principal, explained rules and regulations to the new arrivals. “Some of the rules seem a little unfair to me, but I guess rules are needed to keep everything in order,” remarked Alan Franks. Freshman Orientation was a day set aside last summer for all new incoming students. Opportunity provided a chance to give the students an awareness of what would be going on around them and made them feel accepted as a part of the group.

Odd expressions of togetherness meant nothing more than a fun way of competing in the Winter Olympics. Bringing the student body back to life during a lull in activities was not as sim- ple as taking a shower using “Coast” soap. The Leadership Skills class found a creative method of bringing the stu- dents closer together while boasting school spirit. “I feel that the Winter Olympics were a good way to promote school spirit,” stated Diana Colbert. The turnout for the event caused the competition to be tough, but the seniors left victorious. Even with the short lunch break, students took part and skipped the usual “brown-bag cuisine”, chats with friends and weekly locker searches. They made it a point to let themselves go and have some good, clean fun. 144 Freshmen Janet Yost Lisa Young Leslie Zinn Katrina Sumlin Kim Sumlin Holly Summers Tina Swihart Tracy Swihart Tina Swisher Todd Tatterson Margaret Teahan Belinda Thompson Billy Thompson Paula Tonkery Sheri Tonkovich Allen Tranthem Duane Trippett Jeff Tucker James Varner Renae Vasicek Joy Walker Tina Walker Mark Walkup Carol Wang Anthony Washington Marvin Washington Pat Watts David Weaver John Weigen Kevin Wells Bob White Belinda Wiley John Wilford Don Williams Dorothy Willis Sandy Wilson Kim Wimer Debra Workman Vivek Yerrapu PLAYING GAMES - Showing us how it’s done, Mike McElroy tries to balance a plas- tic spoon in his mouth.

Believe it or not, one of the items tak- en in a late-night raid was the skeleton from Miss Barbara Bennett’s biology classroom. The skeleton, affectionately named “Mr. Bones Jangles” by some first period students, was noticed lean- ing against the flagpole by a concerned citizen who notified the proper authori- ties. “I couldn’t believe that someone would want to actually steal something like that,” expressed Michelle Smith. “I think it was pretty stupid because what are you going to do with a skeleton? Use it for a Christmas tree ornament?” questioned Charlotte Yost. Most students assumed that someone had stolen it as a practical joke. But sev- eral instances of costly vandalism took place at night or over weekends and some caused quite a bit of damage. None of the vandalism seemed at all amusing with the exception of this incident. The skeleton, however, reappeared on the scene in “more or less” one piece. It was just lucky (or maybe unlucky) for biology students that he was stolen after they had taken their final exams on the skeletal system.

This routine ended on Friday when they realized they were Working for the Weekend Every Friday when the 2:35 p.m. bell rang, the students faced one realization. They had exactly 48 hours to accomplish everything that had to be done over the weekend. Chores or odd jobs allowed some the opportunity to earn money. But most teenagers looked forward to a date, the chance to work on a hobby, or the fun of being with their friends at a basketball game. Sometimes getting permission to do these activities depended on the weather. Even though most “kids” hate the thought of homework, the weekends pro- vided time to catch up on incomplete as- signments or to finish a nine-weeks pro- ject. Some students enjoyed just going out to a movie or to dinner. Others used this time to relax and sleep late. “I like to sleep in on Saturday’s be- cause I’m so sick of getting up at 5:30 every morning,” replied Joanna Bourne. Regardless of what they did, most stu- dents spent their time wisely. After all, 48 hours is not really that much time.

A contemporary form of release was Twisting the Plastic Red, yellow, blue, orange, green and white. They seem like such tranquil col- ors alone. But together they posed a menacing threat to all who were near the “Rubik’s Cube.” Crazes come and go, but there will never be one as baffling as that puzzling little cube. Bright students solved it in record time, but most people never deci- phered it. That is, those who did not take shortcuts. The simplest way to solve it was just by taking it apart and assembling it cor- rectly. However, the most common method of solving the puzzle was by re- ferring to a book entitled The Simple Solution To Rubik’s Cube. “It’s easy when you read the book, be- cause then everyone thinks you can do it,” stated John Bowyer. For some, the fun wore off quickly. “It’s fun for a while, but then it gets bor- ing,” exclaimed Donna Walls. Then there were those who found it totally nervewracking. “It makes me want to puke,” remarked Mary Amy West. Along with the Rubik’s Cube, there was also Magic Cube and many other spinoffs from the original cube. Exam- ples of these include the colorful pyra- mid and circle games. Although they fol- low the same pattern as Rubik’s puzzle, they were a pleasant change from the cube shape. Also, from the cube’s inven- tor came a new creation, Rubik’s Snake. This second original invention of the tal- ented man was a long snakelike puzzle that formed into many shapes. The end result for those earnest prob- lem-solvers came quick and easy. If they absolutely could not stand the frustra- tion any longer, the best thing to do was to smash it.

Some people find them a blessing; others find them a waste of time. Whatever the case, students regis- tered for one of the most popular elec- tives, the study hall. One would think that a study hall would offer students a place to catch up on homework which was due that day in a peaceful atmosphere. But waiting to do everything in one 55-minute period had its disadvantages. “I ended up putting off all my home- work until study hall. This kind of made my grades drop a little,” exclaimed Sophomore Stephanie Smith. Many of the students had part-time jobs after school and this free period was their only opportunity to keep up with the class. A free hour during the school day to do almost whatever one wanted attracted many students. The temptation always existed for those lucky study hall stu- dents to write notes, tease one another, polish their fingernails or give the teach- er a hard time — anything except study.

Most people took the fun and skits for grant- ed. There is, however, one group of stu- dents who did not. Members of the Leadership Skills class created ideas, skits, and final drafts of the thuses, along with adviser, Mr. Tom Dragich. The cheerleaders also added their spark to the occasion. Sometimes, though things just did not goaccording to plans. “Our skit was supposed to be like the Mean Joe Green commercial, but it was Mean Joe’s kid. Just as skits sometimes went wrong, so did the entire thuse. This was the case Feb. 16 when Mr. John Tennant, princi- pal, cancelled the thuse because stu- dents were not reporting to homeroom before the assembly. Thuses filled the school with an air of excitement and anticipation. Each skit consisted of just the right combination of people and events to achieve an atmo- sphere of pride and enthusiasm.

Those who owned lockers in the Freshman Building faced this problem daily. To solve this problem, and others like it, many resorted to the buddy system, or THE TIN CAN — Between class, Kevin Patterson uses his locker as a convenient place to keep his own books and coat. in some cases, multiple buddies. “It’s nice that we have lockers, but I am sharing with three people and it’s a mess,” stated Kelli Wadsworth. Not only did the cramped quarters create a problem, but the inconvenience of locker location also resulted in confu- sion. Lockers become a person’s own pri- vate space. They range in size from three to five feet high, and can hold anywhere from one to a half dozen occupants. “I think lockers are a good thing to have. They provide us with a place to put books and coats,” commented Kristen Cooke. Locker assignments usually remain the same throughout all four years of high school. They serve a purpose to call these metal containers “home”. DeMasi to Libonati 157 Many different and interesting ideas arise from the students. The latest creation reveals the Scum Squad They could be easily recognized at a game or thuse by their camoflague dress, hats and buttons bearing the name of “Scum Squad.” What started as a small group of enthusiastic guys grew to be a school participation group. The student Council even designated a special day as “Scum Day” and the student body dressed in the oldest, ugliest, yet scummiest outfits that they owned. Even on regular days, students could be seen in traditional “scum” dress. This consisted of army coats, hats, bandanas and boots. However, protest arose when this bunch of “Scums” emerged. “I think that it’s stupid because other schools will look at us and think we’re scums,” stated Yvette Coburn. These outfits were not a reflection of the school, but they were a way of promoting spirit. The strange yet ef- fective idea caught on quickly. While some felt the group made the school “look bad”, others felt they helped to raise school spirit. Many were torn between these two opinions. Andy Serdich notes, “I thought it was great for spirit, but stupid overall. However, not everyone thought the idea was stupid. Head Coach Bill Lawson felt that the group was good for spirit. He added, “It’s not very of- ten you get guys to do junk like that. Usually school spirit is generally by girls. I’m glad they were on our side.” Whether the group was approved of or not, the Scum Squad showed up to cheer and added a “new look” to games and thuses. Although the teen- agers meant well, their existance was shortlived. But they will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time.

AT THEIR EAST-WEST HALFTIME PER- FORMANCE — Tom Saunders portrays singer Jake Blues of the Blues Brothers. “Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the East-West football classic. Although Fairmont is known for its spirit, in the future it well probably be known for the rebirth of the Blues. We now present two masters of this art: Jake and Elwood Blues!” Brian Caldwell and Tom Saunders, disguised as Saturday Night Lives’ “Blues Brothers,” re-enacted this jumpy and outgoing performance. “When 1 first saw them, I wasn’t sure who they were. I had to look at them a couple of times,” explained Cassy Pi- leggi. Singing “I’m a Soul Man” and “Rub- ber Biscuits,” these two actors reacted positively to the crowds response. At first I didn’t know how to react. I thought we’d get laughed off the field. I felt real foolish,” stated Brian. However, they were not laughed off the field. In fact, they were quite a hit with the stu- dent body. “I didn’t know what was going on. I kept asking around to see who thought this up,” expressed Deneen Aversa. “The idea was Mr. Vingle’s, but I wasn’t in favor of it at all in the begin- ning,” claimed Brian, the quieter of the two. These two men performed for the North Marion pre-game show and at the Band Spectacular. At the latter perfor- mances, the microphones went dead, but they kept their cool, and continued to perform until technicians fixed the prob- lem. As the excitement slowed down, Brian and Tom stepped out of the limelight and returned to their positions as nor- mal, everyday students. Fans appreciat- ed their style for two years and will re- member them as Tom and Brian: The “Blues Brothers.” Cathy Tsai Dawn Tucker Bill Valentine Terry Vangilder Henry Van Meter Rod Vingle Kim Waddell Kelli Wadsworth Dawn Wales Mimi Wallman Jeff Wang Karolyn Wells Mary Whetzel Hope White Michelle Whiteman Dawn Williams Dee W Robert Rose Yanero Jenny Yost Mark Zeck Laura Zinn Sauro to Zinn 161 If there is a picture to be taken, Mike Caldwell could be found With a Camera in Hand Since becoming a photographer for the Journalism Department his fresh- man year, Mike attended 44 football games, 98 varsity, junior varsity, and freshman basketball games, 5 temjis matches, 25 golf games, and 10 track meets for a total of 219 sporting events. In addition to covering most of the band’s activities, Mike also be- came a free-lance photographer. “I’ve worked on the sports section of the yearbook for two years now, and Mike has never failed to supply me with an endless amount of sports pic- tures to choose from,” noted Sports Editor Jeff Gates. Mike owned his own photography business, which he started during his junior year. He earned approximately $5,000. He worked for the Fairmont State College football team, the Mill- er Junior High School boys and girls basketball teams, as well as work for churches and the newspaper. “I plan on going to New York when I graduate from high school to study IN THE SHADE OFTHE SCOREBOARD — Mike Caldwell takes pictures at the action-packed East-West game.

There’s a blue Nova blocking someone’s driveway on Mount Vernon Avenue. Will you please move your car?” request- ed Secretary Betty Eddy. After these words rang through the school, the owner of the blue Nova moved his car to another space. Having an “open” campus allowed students the opportunity of parking beside the Fresh- man Building, on Mount Vernon Avenue or in the Church of Christ parking lot. “I park beside the church. I consider driving to school an advantage, because 1 can’t make the bus early in the morning. I also enjoy having the car there in case I get sick or I want to go out to eat,” ex- plained Peggy Lee. Driving to school did have its advan- tages, but it sometimes became hazard- ous to a student’s grades. Good or bad, driving to school allowed students a privilege which other high schools in the county did not receive. Whether they used this right properly could only be determined by the driver.

MAKING EVERY BIT COUNT,Senior Lisa Morris, licks the last of her nutty buddy ice cream cone, while enjoying a warm day on the senior court. It’s My Turn Seniors looked forward to more in their last year of school than graduation and planning for college. They earned and received special rec- ognition through privileges such as the use of the senior court, the right to leave assemblies first, and sitting in the center section of the auditorium. These tradi- tions were established before the school moved from its old location. Even with these privileges, some sen- iors felt that they should be honored in more ways. Senior Cathy Helmick said, “I like the advantages of the senior court, you know, having a place of your own. I also think that it would be nice if seniors were all given lockers on the main floor.” Just as this year’s seniors had to wait for their special recognition, so will next year’s.

Heads jerked back and screams rang through the cinema. People jumped with terror only to find -that the movie had just begun. People who viewed “three-dimensional movies” found the experience to be true to life. Three-D movies are films which are projected to life-size image by having people in the audience wear special glasses. This concept came to Fairmont in January. “I thought the 3-D movie was most unusual, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was fun seeing everyone in those weird glasses, but the most fun was seeing things actually coming at you,” ex- plained Mark Raddish. “The 3-D effect was great, but I was disappointed in the story line,” com- mented Cathy Helmick. The 3-D movie reflected a new phe- nomena in movie-making for students. It also brought back the days of the First 3- D movies that people of the ’50’s viewed. These movies also showed the advance- ment in movie making. A new phenomena in movie-making allowed students a chance to view 3-D Movies CHANGING CLASSES - During the school day, students sometimes think about things they’d rather be doing.

That’s exactly how they were rewarded. “It was really a lot of fun. Thanks go out to a lot of people who helped,” said Shelly Delligatti. Not only were they rewarded by the football team, but they were also hon- ored by the entire school. A “Polar Bear Paint Brush Award” was created and awarded on two different occasions by Student Council Adviser Tom Dragich. Shelly Delligatti received the first award. Carol Saul received the second one. “The best thing out of doing this was the closeness found between students and parents and showing Fairmont just how proud our school is,” said Shelly.

He held the undefeated title of National Typing Champion. But most males who type never pursue it as a career. “I thought it would help me in college because my writing leaves a lot to be de- sired.” said Senior Jim Storms, typing I student.

Most seniors take typing because they know that it will be useful for college and because they realized that if they intend- ed to pursue any type of career in com- puter programming or involving word processing equipment, keyboard skills are valuable. Surprisingly, most males type as well as or better. Yet, in spite of this fact, there is no rivalry or competition between typists of the opposite sex. “The girls are happy that the boys are interested in typing, and they are proud that they can type as well as they do,” said Mrs. Radcliff.

Students in school have many dreams. Some they could achieve and some they could not. “My first wish would be for wealth, then health, and last, a life supply of strawberries,” stated Marty Dunning- ton. Andy Robinson asked for three wishes “State Championship in Wrestling, C-7, and lots of love. “Health, love, and money are every- thing that I need,” explained Dennis Shuck. Jayne Traugh wished she could live in California to be a model, and also be rich. To someday own a male modeling agency, Dawn Roman would like to be a model or to be snowbound with Sting. Tracey Harland’s one aspiration would be to go to England three times. Each person’s wish reflected a goal they are striving for and all people hoped that their wish would come true.

Posters displayed in store windows, on cars, telephone poles, and trees made the town come alive with “Polar Bear Spirit.” But living with the “Spir- it” is only possible if organi- zations have the funds to pro- mote their programs. The Athletic Department, the Band, and Publications De- partment looked to the com- munity for support in their drive for excellence.

Riding a wave of championship sports, the student body feels as if they’re living in a Fan-tasy Land Being a faithful follower of the Polar Bear football and basketball teams can some- times become a strain on the mental capacity of the loyal subjects, as many of FHS’s student body members dis- covered during these two sea- sons. Senior Angie Bombardierre had her share of encounters this foregone basketball sea- son. During a game at Bridge- port, she strolled to the con- cession stand for a Coke. After she paid the 50 cents, she discovered that her cup was full of foam. Going back to complain, the volunteers made excuses and would not refund her money or give her a new Coke, even though she was very upset and complain- ing. But Bombardierre’s prob- lems did not stop there. Run- ning down the steps to con- gratulate the winning team, she failed to clear the fence completely and consequently, ripped her jeans. Needless to say, her Polar Bear pride was not dampened by the unfor- tunate experience. The involvement of Coke did not stop there. Seniors Martie Pitrolo, Pam Parks, Stella Gerba, Lisa Cavrich and Jana Lamb had an en- counter with a devoted fan who resorted to throwing Coke on the energetic young- sters in an effort to discontin- ue their enthusiasm. Even though local drug stores spent endless hours restocking their shelves with such remedies as Tylenol, An- acin 3 and Bufferin for relief of the migraine headaches, students still contracted them during the numerous nerve-wracking cardiac fin- ishes to athletic events.

If 0001018 is your number you have one hour to claim your prize by calling the station. Just a small step to call in and win!” Announcements like this may seem familiar to many students who tune in to WCLG-FM regularly. This station issued plastic cards, known as Magic Cards, which were readily available to local Dairy Mart stores in the Fair- mont-Morgantown area. Many people wondered where the station received the many prizes that were given away. According to Disc Jockey Dr. John, the Magic Card coordinator, the station obtained the prizes to be given away by giving the businesses air time for commercials in re- turn for the merchandise to be given away. Other than hearing one’s number over the radio, many other benefits were available by just having a Magic Card. If one pre- sented his card, he may be able to get into the Mor- gantown ice skating rink for one dollar off the regu- lar price, get free chocolate chip cookies at WUV’S or get into some movie the- atres for half price. 0001018?
