TIME Dabney Denbrock Pamela Denholm Susan Deveny Janet deVries John DeVries Mark Wyant ' s hobby, jewelry making, started in the tenth grade and he has since opened a jewelry shop in his home. Most of his work is entered in art contests or is sold by special order. It takes Mark three to four hours of painstaking and precision work to make one piece of jewelry. Mark plans to go to art school next year and to continue his profitable hobby at home. Brian Donahue Carl Draves 72 Martin Drews Candis Dunlop Glenn Dunn Alise Eaton Ardis Ehman Robert Ellis George Elmer Kathleen Emerson Maureen Fassnacht Beth Fenwick Francis Finelli William Finlay Mark Fisher Denise Foreman Glennda Freeman Kevin Cifford There is a gentleman who roams around Firestone High at the first of each month and pre- sents a product of his creativity, effort and money. It ' s called THE BIG TIMES ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE, and the young man selling it is Robert Simonds. From using an 1878 model mimeograph machine to real printing equipment, Robert has built his unheard-of, messy news- paper into a heard-of, neat maga- zine. He operates at a financial loss. Why does he do it? It ' s a hobby, really, Robert confesses. It keeps me off the streets. Off the streets, maybe, but not out of Firestone ' s cafeteria, his main distribution point. The magazine reports local entertain- ment schedules as well as some reviews and stories. Robert does not plan to con- tinue publishing THE BIG TIMES in college, but he acknowledges that he will probably use his ex- perience and knowledge of pub- lishing and printing in the future.

Marty and partner Jeff Schobert own their own lawn service. The business began as a summer lawn service and expanded to meet de- mands; it was incorporated three years ago. Last summer the service did lawn work at 100 residential homes plus some apartment com- plexes. Marty and Jeff plan to keep the business next year while Marty attends landscaping school, and their ultimate goal is to open a tree nursery of 40-50 acres. 76 David Harrison Patricia Hartenstein Karen Hartz Elizabeth Hawkins Juliana Hedler Kelly Heidman Carol Heiser Paul Herbert Caroline Quine has won recogni- tion for her talent at composing music for the 1974 and 1975 Akron Composers Contest. Caroline ' s pieces, both for the piano, were entitled Daze and Classical Blues. Most of her tunes are sad and slow, but she ' s written only two songs with lyrics. Although she has a great talent for composition, Caroline says she does it just for fun when she has the time.

John has lived in Argentina, Venezuela, and France, and has gone to school for a year in Brussels, Belgium. John feels it has been easier for him to make acquaintances but harder to develop deep friendships because of his short stays in a particular country. Although he had to learn a different language in each country, he has found the U.S. to be the hardest place to live because everyone is reluctant to let an outsider into his circle of friends.

Kim Kaltiokaliio became friends with Brian and wanted to accompany him back to the States to go to school and learn the language better.

Craig and Mark Williamson meditate twice a day for seven- teen minutes, usually in the morning or after school. Craig had gone to a library lecture and became involved in TM in April of 1974. Mark then picked it up in August of the same year. While meditating, one sits in a relaxed, upright position with the eyes closed in rest- ful alertness. Then the mantra, or the In- dian sound one uses, is repeated until the mind is completely re- laxed and serene. Mark and Craig feel that meditating makes them better able to cope with other people and they plan to con- tinue to practice TM the rest of their lives.

V Car wash and picnic The first fund-raising activity of the Senior Class was a car wash held at Click ' s in June. Soaking seniors earned approximately $60.00 for the class treasury. A great time was had by all at the Senior Class Picnic on September 14. A large crowd of seniors came to Happy Days Park to join in the fun and games — sack races, pyramids, ball games, hiking, and relay races, ending with a pie-eating contest for those who were still hungry after the chicken supper. Pam Reynolds enjoys the food at- f iall 100 101 102 Halloween October 26 was a night to remember as seniors revealed their hidden identities at the Senior Halloween Party held at Our Lady of the Cedars Park. Early in the evening the decorated barn was overrun with all sorts of creatures from fairy book characters and flowers to ghouls and monsters. Dan Marchetta re- ceived the Best Costume award for his can-can girl outfit. Becky Broers and Pam Reynolds were a- warded Best Couple, while the Best Croup prize went to Mother Goose (Cathie Shepherd) and her friends. The successful partv was followed by a dress- up day on October 31 when seniors displayed their costumes. 103 Roller skating Thrills and spills were the order of the day at the Senior Roller Skating Party on No- vember 17, 1974. Seniors went gliding by, cracking the whip, lying on the floor (inadvertent- ly), and grabbing onto each other for support. Not only was there regular skating, but couples got together for the polka, and everyone joined in on follow-the-leader. mB it a. 1 K1 m- . V W M rejBH| filping hand to Nancy 104 1 ' i 1 1 1 ■■■■— — — r mm a.

Eckleberg Hank Welch Stage Manager Eric Cohen Under the direction of Mr. Robert Schlemmer and Eric Cohen, Firestone Seniors presented ADRIFT IN NEW YORK OR HER FIRST FALSE STEP on November 22 and 23. Publicity posters were designed and created by Julie Addison and Tracy Wallach. The play is a nrielodranna of the Cay Nineties, com- plete with hero, heroine and villain. Jack Merriwell, a poor but honest man , wants to marry Nellie Weston, a virtuous, young lady. To his horror he discovers that she has taken up with the city man, Francis Desperate Desmond, who wants to make Nellie a great singing star AND his newest conquest. FHe asks Nellie to marry him and threatens to foreclose the mortgage on the old farm if she doesn ' t. Meanwhile, Jack has been accused of a murder that Desmond has committed and is thrown in jail. He breaks free and follows Nellie to New York where she has promised to meet Desmond. Not finding him, and cold and hungry, Nellie seeks employment at a honkytonk , where, by coincidence, Desmond ' s fourth wife works. Sadie May reveals what a s coundrel, a rogue, and a dog Francis is, and Nellie maintains her precious virtue. Jack, too, has sought work at Fogarty ' s Bar and he rescues Nellie from the evil clutches of Desmond ' s gang of cutthroats and thieves. Both return to the Weston farm in time to save it from the villain and to see him arrested for the murder. The play ends on the triumphant note of evil punished and virtue rewarded. 109 Greaser Dance! A little grease and a lot of snow During the year ' s last major snow- storm on March 14, the walls of Fire- stone were reverberating with the sounds from the hits of the 50 ' s at the third annual Greaser Dance. Students boogied, jitterbugged, and twisted to the music of the Supercolossal Grease Band and Dancing Cruising Chorus. Half-time activities included a dance contest and the crowning of the Greaser King and Queen. This year ' s royalty was chosen on the basis of how much money was collected by the in- dividual for the Kidney Foundation. The honors went to junior Doug New and senior Laurie Shoup. The dance contest winners were Leslie Smith and John Poleondakis. 110 m H B HHi P fl H ■Ti , II )■jii ), I B B 1 1 B fl 5 H ' V J u 1 s WjIBWBMIJI 1 r T lq Wmtx 1 ■kD N(-,.-: 112 All-star Game The surging crowds had to be held back at the All- Star Senior Wonnen vs. Fac- ulty Women basketball game on March 12.

Heavenly Father, As graduating seniors, we ask Thy blessing upon us. We have been given the knowledge we need to function in our future years and may we have the wisdom to use it wisely. Thou makest us to know the path of life. We each know where we are headed and what studies we plan in our future years. For all of us, certain and uncertain of our plans, lead us wisely so that we might qualify and fit more ably and efficiently into the society we are about to enter. Hopefully, we will be guided rightly towards our life ' s endeavors and will be able to uphold and help advance the pursuit of peace. In Thy pres- ence is fullness of joy. In Thy right hand bliss for evermore. May joy and bliss follow our endeavors and lead us correctly toward a more complete under- standing of ourselves and one another. Thou has guided us through our Elementary, Jr. High, and Sr. High school years most ably and wiseK. But, may our future years be even more abundant with Thy gifts of knowledge and love. Guide and teach us to do deeds that will do honor upon all who are dear to us, our alma mater, and our country. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy. All ve that are upright in heart. We have finished our first years of life, but may we live lives long and healthy enough to put these first years to good use. We ma rejoice now that our high school years are over but let us not forget the years to come. Help us to li e these years easiK, righteously, and to their fullest extent possible. Thankyou for all Thou has done and ma Thou con- tinue to help us from this time forth and forever more. Amen. — Eric Cohen — 119 Prom We may never pass this way again was the theme of this year ' s Senior Prom held at Cascade Holiday Inn on June 2, 1975.

They had an exciting season, suffering their greatest loss to Central-Hower when they lost the city title; this placed them second in the city. Outstanding players were: John Wiseman in defense, John Harrington in offense, and Neil deVries in scoring. Co-Captains Tim Bader and Pete Spink led the team through a challenging season.

Under the direction of Advisor Mr. Robert Schlemmer, an evening of entertainment was provided on April 18 and 19 with the title, Generations. The production consisted of four one-act plays and a poetry and dance section depicting the growth of man from birth to death. The troupe, newly chartered this year, wanted to show the many facets of theatre in its pro- duction, instead of being limited to the conventional three-act play as it has in the past. 194 in Theatre at Firestone Bl ■■■j v 7 ' Jf 1 H 1 Narrator . . .

J 234 Our Observations The senior year is the time when students are forced to give up MAD magazine for TIME Swenson ' s has 32.6% fewer greasers than Sky-Way The true test of one ' s driver ' s education is the school parking lot The next bestseller will be HOW I LOST IT AND HOW IT AFFECTED MY TIME TESTS by Ron Snider Fisher-Fazio ' s is the best place to buy toilet paper for other-than-hy- genic reasons. Three reasons: the store is open all night, the stock is large and colorful, and the price, when bought in large quantities, is relatively inexpensive There is an average of .6% broken bones at every senior activity Revere and Copley have adopted Burger King as their natural habitat, while Firestone and Buchtel favor McDonald ' s Sooner or later, everyone runs into someone they know in the litera- ture section of the public library Blossom Center is a nice place to meet people and gain a few cultural experiences When a student becomes 18, he no longer pulls out his library card when asked for identification Shaving cream does not comb out of one ' s hair at (yawn) 1:30 in the morning. It must be washed out Mr. Green said Got it? 263 times throughout the track season It cost $71 to clean up what 200 seniors can create in one night Montrose is the favored drive-in movie of Firestone ' s students. Could it be the popcorn or the swing sets? Judging by the quality and talent of the class of ' 75, there ' s hope for the future We had a great time putting this yearbook together.
