One last look brought different reactions from the 498 students. For sophomores it meant getting acclimated to a new environment, new teachers and some new courses of study. The juniors looked upon the year as one of growth and maturation and a stepping stone to that final year in high school. For the seniors it meant making serious decisions concerning their future, parting of friends, and preparing to enter the adult world. But as all looked back, they would remember the good times and the carefree days they had with their classmates and feel that the 1988 was one of the best in their young lives.

OISE EAST EOOK One last lcx k at the 1987-88 school year brought various meanings to the students. For the seniors it meant the parting of friends and entering a new phase in life. The juniors realized that they had to prepare them- selves to lake over for the graduating seniors, while the sophomores, after a brief period of orientation, became full-fledged “high schoolers.” But for all, they would remember the good times and the bad times, the happy times and the sad times and realize that this year was one that they would cherish. f—FORESI HIUS J The scholastic quiz team, com- prised of Andy Ytmrirh, Melissa Stombaugh, Amy Metsger, and Robert korach found their com- peting a learning experience.

Theme — 5 As the 164 seniors began this final year, they would get one last look at their Alma Mater. In the classroom, in sports and in extracurricular activities, these veterans would display lead- ership. They would become involved and set an example for the underclassmen to follow. A busy year lay ahead for the seniors. Graduation an- nouncements, senior portraits, cap and gown measurements, fund raisers for their trip and party were a few items on their agenda. Plans to enter college, trade school or school of nursing or to join the armed forces would be on the minds of many. Others would be contemplating marriage, while others would be think- ing of finding jobs. As the seniors took this one last look at their high school days, they realized these days would be nothing but cherished memories.

Choice of career top priority While many decisions concerning the fu- ture fac d llie senior, the most important was that of what to Ho after high school. Many planned to attend college or trade school while others decided on a military career. Some girls hoped to enter nursing ami some looked to find jol� s in the business world. Throughout the year, representatives from colleges, tnisiness schools, and the armed forces met with interested seniors to explain their particular program to them. Kor those planning to attend college, the guidance office offered information on en- trance requirements, scholarships and fi- nancial assistance. Job availability in the area as well as openings in various fields, slate and na- tionwide, was compiled by the guidance de- partment ami given to seniors. As the seniors neared the end of the high school days, their top priority was choosing a career.

The candlelight- ing ceremony was under the direction of advisors Mary Ellen Ambroe and Gloria Molnar. NHS president Michelle Morris opened the program by welcoming all to the ceremony. Brief talks on the qual- ifications of membership followed. Don Eash talked on scholarship; Missy Stombaugh spoke on leadership; Lisa Mlinar and Janice Moore spoke on char- acter and service, respectively. Next the inductees were told to come forth. They each received a pin and lit a candle from the Candle of Knowledge, signifying their acceptance into the so- ciety. After the evening performance for family and friends of NHS members, a catered dinner was served for all present. On January 12, all new inductees, along with veteran members, met to re- organize committees. Among several committees organized was the tutoring program. NHS members volunteered to tutor students who were having difficulty with some of their sub- jects. The tutor met with an assigned student during study halls, activity pe- riods, and even after school in some cases. The group also conducted its annual gob sale. On October 7 the members met to make golxs. Over 60 dozen were made and sold. The proceeds were used to buy pins for the new inductees. These were but a few of the activities conducted by the NHS.

Janice Moore Runner-up in Junior Miss Pageant In the 25th annual Cam- bria Somerset Junior Miss Pag- eant, Janice Moore finished first runner-up behind Penn Cambria’s Sherry Campagna. Not since Pam- ela Hutzel! won the title in 1973 has any Forest Hills contestant made such an excellent showing. Judging was based on poise and appearance, scholastic achieve- ment, creative and performing arts, and a judge’s interview. For the creative arts’ category, Janice presented a vocal perfor- mance, “Charity.” In addition, her 4.0 grade average contributed to her winning the scholasitc achieve- ment award which earned for her a $4000 scholarship to St. Francis College, Loretto. The theme song of the pageant was based on the song, “One” from the Broadway Musical, “A Chorus Line.” When asked for one word to describe her experience as a con- testant, Janice replied “Awesome!” She feels that par- ticipating in the program was very worthwhile and encourages all jun- ior girls to audition when the next program gets under way.

Once again six offers were available to the students, prices ranging from $52 to $122. not including tax. Many seniors opted for Offer 1 which included 2- 8x10 portraits in wood frames, 6-5x7 in easels, and 48 wallets. The cost of this offer was $98, plus lax. All offers in- cluded one glossy picture for the year- book. Most seniors had ten or twelve proofs lo choose from and these previews could be purchased for three dollars. Most stu- dents bought additional wallets to ex- change with classmates or to pass out to friends. The completed product was delivered in mid-December and with few excep- tions. the seniors were more than sat- isfied with them. For the next few days seniors could be seen autographing pictures to exchange with classmates or pass out to friends.

Leadership roles evident As was evident by the activities and organizations led by the seniors, lead- ership and seniors were synonymous. Seniors look over the leadership roles that had been left for them to (ill. As officers of organizations or captains of teams, seniors displayed their leadership ability by making certain that their as- signed duties were fulfilled. Through hard work and dedication these leaders guided their respective groups in obtain- ing their goals. Throughout the year, students attend- ed workshops in order to enhance their leadership skills. Among these programs were the Pennsylvania School Board Conference, the Girls’ State program and the Leadership Development Center sponsored by the Red Cross, which Jan- ice Moore and Missy Stombaugh attend- ed. These leadership roles played by the seniors would undoubtedly be beneficial to them as they prepared to enter a new phase in life. leading the majorette� in their aclivitie� were «enior co-captain� Storey Faker and Erin (• rattan. 18 — Seniors Lrft: Di Miller, captain of the vamity cheerleaders, led the way in the girl� ' taking fimt place in the annual conleat.

By displaying individuality, they showed the juniors and sophomores the fun of participating. Whether dressed as a farmer on “Farmers’ Day” or decked out for “Green and Gold Day” during Spirit Week, whether eating a bowl of jello at a pep rally or cheering at an athletic event seniors actively participated in all phases of school life. An important aspect of school life, participation is a learned process — a process that deals with fitting in and being yourself no matter the cost. Having learned this important lesson from past students, the seniors did their part in passing this on the underclassmen. Participation and involvement were key words in the seniors’ school life.

Seniors become involved Involvement and seniors went hand in hand. Almost any team roster or club membership could boast of a large num- ber of seniors. As leaders of many of these groups, the seniors got the underclassmen involved as well. Organizations such as the Student Council and the National Honor Society showed much involvement by the senior members. These two groups were per- haps the most active in the school. Other groups like the Montage and Forester staffs, the Humanitarian Club, the forensic team, and the Future Lead- ers of America organization excelled due to the experience of the seniors. In addition, seniors involved in sports, among which were included the cheer- leaders. aided the underclassmen to gain the necessary experience and confidence to carry on the winning tradition of the school. Involvement, a natural ingredient of school for many seniors, proved a val- uable means in learning to be cooperative and understanding of fellow classmates.

Among the library aides could be found seniors who volunteered to work there during their free periods, helping students find research materials or as- sisting the head librarian. Also several seniors worked as office aides for Mr. Hailey during their study halls. Some seniors were scorekeepers at various ath- letic contests, such as volleyball, bas- ketball and track. Although there was no monetary com- |M nsation for these students, they en- joyed the satisfaciton of helping out when needed. The experience they acquired from their volunteer work would certainly be of some use later on. Also their services were very much apprec iated by those for whom they worked. 26 — Seniors Handling the announcing chorra in the morning and evening were aeniora Huh Kovach, Winy Slomhaufh and Janice Moore, all volunteera. l rA: Wvntiy W right, leA, ami Kathy Toth keep •core at thr girln’ volleyball game between For- est Hilla and the Muntangn of Portage.

Di and Dee Miller replied, “We both understand each other. We can count on each other to be there if there are any problems. We are lifetime friends.” Twins have a happy childhood. They enjoy having a constant playmate and they appreciate their understanding of each other. Of course, they have their spats and misunderstandings at times but what brothers and sisters do not? Twins do have a desire for individ- uality. They wish that others would not mistake one for the other and they would like to receive birthday gifts meant just for them. As teenagers twins may feel the need for independence and wish that people would stop comparing the two and treat them as one person. As the Miller twins stated, “People think we are much alike, when, in fact, we are two totally different beings.” As twins enter college, get married and have a family of their own, they will appreciate having a constant companion.

Graduation fast approaching As the first semester came to a close, seniors realized that the end of their final year in high school was fast approaching. The end became more apparent with the ordering of graduation invitations and name cards along with being measured for caps and gowns. The class president began to plan what to say in his welcoming address at com- mencement and the class valedictorians got together to discuss their final remarks to their classmates. The class placed orders for announce- ments in mid-January. About 115 seniors ordered with the majority opting for the Essential package, which included 25 announcements, 25 thank you notes and 100 name cards. Including tax, the cost was $24.38. The announcements were due to arrive at the end of April. Also in January Thomas Church of Collegiate Cap and Gown Company measured the seniors. According to cus- tom the boys would be wearing green and the girls, gold. The caps and gown were to be shipped in early May. Although the seniors were eagerly looking forward to that final day, they knew, all too well, that with graduation would come the end of the happiest days of their lives.

Seniors leaders in fashion When it came to fashions, seniors were the trendsetters of the school. They were the ones who set the pace. Seniors were featured in the Montage, the school newspaper, modeling the latest fall and back-to-school fashions. Throughout the year they continued to model the latest in fashions — spring. fall and winter wearing apparel. Included in these fashions were casual everyday dress and the semi-formal look. Even when not posing for the fashion column, seniors consistently dressed styl- ishly whether at a dance, a sporting event, or simply walking down the hall.

First woman elected President of Board Mrs. Martha Kozar of Salix was elected pres- ident of the Forest Hills School Board at the reorganization meeting held Monday, Decem- ber 7. She succeeds Robert Beyer, who had held this position since December of 1979. The election of Mrs. Kozar was a landmark for the district. It was the first time in the history of the board that a woman has held this position. Mrs. Kozar, a retired school teacher of the Forest Hills District, is the chairman of the Cambria County Council Pennsylvania School Board Association and was named first alternate to the Greater Johnstown Area Vocational- Technical School Joint Operating Committee. In other elections, Allen Wilson succeeded Samuel Basile as first vice president and Thom- as Paluch was named to succeed William Kos- tan as second vice president. Other officers are Shirley Partsch, secretary and Dorothy Ruddek, treasurer. The board scheduled monthly meetings for the second Wednesday at 7:30 in the senior high conference room.

New superintendent named by school board 38 - ADMINISTRATION As the 1987-88 term began, some changes occurred in the administration. Upon the death of superintendent Dr. Robert Anderson, Alex Afton was named to replace him. Mr. Afton, who had been the assistant superintendent since 1979, was replaced by the former junior high principal, Paul Robinson. Of Mr. Afton’s 38 years in the education field, 37 were spent in the Forest Hills District. From 1950-57 he served as an English teacher and head football coach at the former Beaverdale-Wilmore High School. He held these same positions from 1957 through 1965 when he was part of the Triangle Area School District, now part of Forest Hills. He also served as a guidance counselor from 1965-69. A 1948 graduate of St. Francis College, Loretto, he holds a master’s degree in coun- seling education from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Following his appointment, Afton stated, “My personal priority is to decrease the number of students requiring remedial reading and math.” Above: Ldtcard Terek, principal, in on his way to evaluate a teacher.

Mollom; Ihmnld Shall — Special Educa- tion. 40 — Special Service� Involved in special services were a number of people, all of whom aided in some way in various areas of (he students school life. The librarian, for instance, dealt with many of the students needs with regard to their needing to find research materials for class assignments. Of course many used the library for their reading pleasure and Mr. Polasko often made suggestions of books that might interest them. Mr. Polasko also made extensive use of the library for the forensic program of which he was in charge. He also taught several class of communications, giving special consideration to a reading program for the students. Each of the individuals of the special services program played a unique role in the lives of all concerned. Richard Pasierb and Donald Stull of special education gave special attention to the slow learner; Steve Hrapchak. guidance coun- selor, was always available to assist students in all phases of school life; Merikay Moore, school nurse, looked after the well-being of all; finally, the auxiliary personnel assisted indirectly with students needs. Regardless of their position, all members of special services helped students in one way or another. Left: Mere Hrapchak, cotm elor, talk� nith a college-bound M-uior. - • HitiJIc: Hr.

Right: A top junior section prepares to work on a research paper as Mr. Rulli presents the guidelines to follow. 42 — English Comprised of four instructors, the English department took one last look at mini-courses which it had used for the past fifteen years or so. Begun in the early 70%s. the mini structure consisted of six week courses and eventually changed to twelve with all three classes involved in this set up. Some 15 to 20 areas were covered in these mini-courses, such as English grammar, contemporary literature, broadway musicals, research paper etc. In reeent years, sixty percent of the students were involved in the mini-courses of the 12-week structure while the remaining forty percent took the full 36- week course. In the 1988-89 term all English classes will employ the 36-week structure. What were the advantages of the mini-course structure? Perhaps the biggest advantage was that the students as well as the teachers saw new faces every twelve weeks. One disadvantage was that the teacher did not always have enough time to develop completely a specific topic he was teaching. Also the teacher had several class preparations to be concerned with. In surveying the English department, it was found that the teachers felt that the mini- courses have served their purpose and that the new 36-week course to be initiated next year will be far more valuable to all concerned.

Besides teaching political science, Soviet Bloc and American Heritage, Mr. I adish also had several classes of safety education, a course required of all sophomores. Rick Ruddek. in his third year in the social studies department, taught seniors youth and law; juniors, ancient history, and sophomores, war and diplomacy. Two veteran teachers in the history depart- ment were Michael Barton and Waller Celmer. Mr. Barton’s teaching duties included psychol- ogy (seniors). Soviet Bloc and Oriental Cultures (juniors), and minority and labor (sophomores). Among Mr. Celmer’s teaching chores were classes of sociology, geography and Oriental Cultures. The social studies department, like the Eng- lish department, took one last look at the mod- ular or mini-courses. The twelve-week long courses will be replaced next year with the courses being taught the full 36 weeks. The same teacher will be assigned to teach all soph- omores, and the same setup will apply also to both juniors and seniors.

Biology , a sophomore course, was under the direction of George Pettorini and Patrice Chu- lick. Both instructors had student teachers, UPJ college students, for a twelve-week period. Mrs. Chulick also taught physiology to a class of seniors and environmental science to a group of junior business students. Mr. Pettorini like- wise had a group of seniors in microbiology in which the seniors were introduced to basic chemistry and physiology of the organism, em- phasizing laboratory techniques and diagnostic tests which demonstrated this. Chemistry, a junior course taught by James Ambroe, dealt with the study of physical and chemical properties of matter. About ninety juniors, most college bound, were enrolled in this class.

In perspective drawing students learned one point angular perspective as well as architec- tural perspective. Also considered were water colors and tempera painting. In the second semester in the crafts’ course, the students delved into copper toolery and leather projects. The advanced classes studied acrylic paint- ing, graphics (linoleum block printing), and oil painting. Calligraphy (elegant writing), charcoal drawing, pen and ink and transparent water colors were also learned. Other areas covered included leather crafts and making of jewelry. In the jewelry course, lapidary (gem cutting) was undertaken. Several of Mr. Damico’s more advanced stu- dents entered their art work in local art shows. Gary Nastase and Sam Coco headed the band and chorus respectively. Mr. Nastase worked with the band at halftime shows during the football season and also had his group perform at local parades.

CAFETERIA STAFF - In taking a look at the extracurricular activities, one will find that they played an important role in the lives of the students. Hy involving themselves in clubs and organizations, students learned the necessity of cooperation and the joy of participation. Whether competing in a quiz program or a forensic meet, whether performing on stage in a drama program or par- ticipating with a cheerlcading group. Fll students enjoyed a well-rounded and diversified program of activities. True, academics was the main concern of the student; however, involvement in activities did afford valuable expe- rience for all concerned. Leadership, responsibility and co- operation were but a few traits which helped to mold the character of the participants.

Two new clubs formed Within the past year two new clubs were formed, namely the German Club and the Leo Club. The German, under the direction of German instructor Randy Ruddek, was formed in late September. The club chose the name “Der Deutsche Verein” and named senior Bob Kovach to lead the group. Their main fundraiser was the selling of candy bars. The group also participated in Foreign Language Week, sponsored by the German and Spanish de- partments. Club members made large banners which were displayed in the cafeteria as well as decorating show cases with German memorabilia. Although the club was not as active as some other clubs, it hopes to do better in the future. In the summer of 1987 the Leo Club was formed with Rick Ruddek acting as faculty advisor. Elected president of the group was senior Tara Stefanik. The main activ ity of the club was a food drive held in December. Over 1000 pounds of non-perishable items were collected during the week-long drive. Acting as chairman of the activity was senior Bob Kovach. The drive started off rather slowly but picked up momentum as the week progressed. At the end of the campaign, club membes boxed and bagged all items and Bob Kovach and sophomore Bryan Spangler delivered the goods to New Day Incorporated, a local food pantry responsible for helping the needy of the area. When all was said and done, the Leo Club could be proud of a job well done. (German Club: (front) Robin Myer� . Bob korach, Alaria Dipko, Tina Beyer� . Stephanie Liddoniee; («rrond row) Tim Aliller.

Ac- companying the group were class advisor Albert Keller and Richard Pasierb of the faculty. Among the many rides enjoyed by the students were the Comet and sooperdooperLooper roller coasters; the Pirat, Cy- clops, Giant Wheel, Fender Bender and in particular the Canyon River Rapids, an invigorating ride through a water splash course in adventure. Another favorite was the Coal Cracker, a refreshing ride aboard a fiberglass hydroflume coal- car boat. These last two rides generally left the participants soaking wet after the ride. Some students visited Aquatheatre where talented and com- ical dolphins and sea lions showed off their new stunts. Others visited Hershey’s Chocolate World to learn about the story of chocolate.

Seniors Farewell Party 119 In looking over the athletie program in Hanger country, one could not help notice what an integral part sports played in the lives of the students whether as a participant or as a spectator. Although each sport had its own unique contribution, all athletics provided a means of displaying good competitive effort and good sportmanship. Team effort as well as individual effort worked hand in hand to produce a sound athletic program. Not all athletes excelled in the same degree, we all realize, and not all sports produced a winning season, but all did their best and contributed in their own way in giving Forest Hills a strong athletic program. Regardless of whether the various teams produced a winning or losing season, sports provided for the learning of physical skills and the exhibiting of sound competitive effort.

Girls capture Southern VI Tennis League Championship Under the guidance of coach John Waksmunski, the Rangerette tennis team won the 1987 championship of the Southern VI Tennis League in posting a 9-1 record. Their only loss came at the hands of second place Bedford whom they had defeated earlier in the season. Coach Waksmunski stated that although the loss was a blow to his pride as well as to his players, it only made the girls want to work harder. Since Westmont had defeated Bedford 4-3, the girls felt they had avenged their loss by defeating Westmont in their last match 6-1. Waksmunski said the team's success was due to the play and leadership of the three top players, senior Laurie Wess, and soph- omores Melissa Schad and Paula Yuhas. I .auric finished the season with a 7-3 individual record in her number one singles position. Playing number two singles, Melissa finished the season with a perfect 10-0 mark, making her the first FH tennis player to have an undefeated season. Yuhas also had a good season, losing only two matches from her number three singles position. Wess and Schad led the team with their doubles play as well. Teaming up for number one doubles, the pair finished the season with a 9-0 showing, another school record. 122 — Tennis Al l« f) sophomore Melissa Srhad and senior Ixturie Wett prepare 1« rom- pete in the 1987 Ciris I ouble Ten- ni Tournament held al Mansion Park, Altoona.

Although the squad had several ex- perienced golfers, it did not show regularity throughout the season. Coached by Sam Coco, the team was comprised of 16 boys, two seniors, six juniors, six sophomores, and two freshmen. From these, a core of six starters were selected by the coach. These included seniors Chris Riek and Clay Bulvin; juniors Jason Gorbar and Rick Costlow; sophomore Mike Puruczky and freshman Joe Bukosky. The Rangers managed wins against Central Cambria, 2l l-16l i and against Bishop McCort, 7-12. The team played much better in tournaments. At the Dr. Wheeling tourney at Sunnehanna Country Club, Bulvin, Gorbar. Puruczky and Bukosky participated and the boys placed 11th from a field of 22 schools. The Rangers also competed in the District 6 Sectional Meet held at Champion Lakes Country Club in Ligonier. From a group of 81 players, only 20 were selected to compete at Districts. Joe Bukosky represented Forest Hills. Joe advanced to the finals before being eliminated. With graduation claiming only two seniors, the outlook for the 1988 season looks rather bright.

The girls posted a 3-3 chart and the boys finished with a 6-4 showing. Using excellent consistency and team grouping, the boys earned a fourth place standing in the 11-school field. Senior Sam Malesky proved to be a force during the course of the season and for his efforts earned the Boys Senior Cross Country Award. Another bright spot for the Rangers was freshman Shawn Knavel. whose 14 points were second highest on the squad. leading the Ranger runners was junior Jamie Patterson, who collected 15 points over the season. Relying heavily on his only senior runner, Susan Lacko, Coach Hunter improved his inexperienced squad of girls in a very short time. At the start of the season. Sue was the sole member of the team. Mr. Hunter quickly recruited several more girls including Joelle Freed- man, Adrianne Delso, Lisa Berkhimer, Jennifer Deyarmin, Wendi Rosenberger and Ashley Chulick. The girls 3-3 record earned them a fourth place standing in the 8-school conference. Sue Lacko was awarded the Girls' Senior Cross Country Award. She finished the season with 11 points.

The team returned to its outstanding tradition of success by overcoming last year’s disappointing record of 3-7. How- ever, the road to victory was by no means easy for Coach Bailey’s young men. The major barrier which they overcame was inexperience. Using understanding, discipline, and a bit of coaching magic. Coach Bailey transformed his young squad into a unified and inspired group. Unlike past years, standout names were not prevalent; instead, this year’s team used a “no-name” concept to earn its victories. Every player realized he was an important part of the team, down to the last man. They were all prepared to answer the call when it came. It may have only been a small assignment, but as Mr.Bailey commented early in the season, “It’s the little things that add up to victory.” The team was unique in that it was not driven by a group of standout athletes; rather, they were inspired by the underdog title given to them early on. For fuel the “Ranger Machine” used two ingredients; heart and pride. If these two factors are strong enough within a football team, adversities can be overcome. A special group of athletes proved this to Forest Hills fans in 1987. The Ranger «core their fir� ! touchdown again� ! Portage a� Don Wolfhope pu� hed hi� way into the endaone from one yard out.

Balanced offensive attack, outstanding defense shown Through a balanced offensive altack and an outstanding defense that would not break, the Rangers were able lo compile its 4-3-2 record. Attributing to this success was the ability of both sides to interact. The Rangers did not possess an explosive offense. However, because the defense held its opponents to under an average of seven points per game, the offense needed only about eleven points per game to be successful. Most of the offensive punch was provided through a variable rushing attack. Quarterback Tom Chunta led the Rangers with 318 yards on 111 carries. Matt Botteicher was runnerup in rushing with 189 yards on 75 carries; he was followed by Don Hudson with 163 yards on 63 carries. Chunta went to the air 68 times and completed 28 of his attempts for 373 yards. Tom’s favorite targets were seniors Matt Botteicher and Rick May, both hauling in ten passes. Matt's receptions totalled 178 yards and Rick accumulated 103 yards. Botteicher led the outstanding Ranger “D” in both solo and assist tackles with 61 and 33, respectively. Rick May was second with 68 total tackles. Juniors Brian Steen and Kevin Heider both added 61 tackles. Senior Chuck Blough led the team in sacks with five.

Comprised of four seniors, three juniors and two soph- omores, the squad played well together and complemented each other throughout the season. They dropped one game to Conemaugh Valley in the first half and likewise lost one to Cambria Heights in the second half in posting a perfect chart. The leading scorer on the squad was senior Tammy Moratti who served 106 points. Junior Lori Yetsko followed with 82 points and Kathy Hanak. another senior, scored 78 points.

Coach’s high expectations fail to materialize “We’re looking forward lo what we hope will t e a fairly good season. We have somebody al every weight class. Of our seven returning lelterrnen, six are seniors who have wrestled together for quite a while,” stated Coach Jim Dorsch. He felt that his team would do well and show improvement over last year's 5- 12 showing. However, things didn’t work out as he expected and the Ragner grapplers posted a 6-10-1 record. Two bright spots appearing in the Ranger lineup were seniors Matt Botteicher and Clarence Reese. Their combined records included 53 wins and 9 losses. Clarence, who wrestled in the 126 weight class, posted a 24- 1 regular season record. Partic ipating in post season play, he compiled a 4-3 record, giving him an overall showing of 28-4. Clarence advanced to the Regional after winning in the Districts. Matt Botteicher. wrestling at 155 lbs., finished the regular season at 22-4 and with post season activity ended with a 25-5 record which included 15 pins, one better than Reese, who had 14. He advanced to the Districts but due to an injury was unable to go on. Matt provided the Rangers with excellent leadership throughout the season.

Tom Chunta bright spot for faltering Rangers Taking over the reins of the varsity coaching staff was A1 Young. However, the change failed to bring any improvement to the basketball squad. The team managed only two wins which came against Shade and Westmont. The team morale was not always at its best and season showed an astonishing 21 losses. Sophomore Tom Chunta brightened the hopes of the program with his 279 markers. His 12.1 points per game average proved tops for the squad. Tom gives hope to the future of the Ranger basketball program. Senior Mike Harbaugh. runner-up in the scoring department with 241 points, picked up 99 points from long range, making good 33 three-pointers. He made good 47 from the open field for 94 points and 48 from the charity stripe, where he led the squad with 62 per cent. Junior Bill Gregory added an 8.3 ppg average. He attained a total of 198 points for the season. From the newly-initiated three-point line Bill collected 84 points (28 shots). He also hit on 61 per cent of his free throws, second on the team. With the loss of only four seniors and with the experience gained by the underclassmen, the basketball program should improve in the future.

Varsity Basketball (Boys) — 139 Jayvees fail to improve over last year’s record Despile changes in the coaching staff, the Ranger JV squad failed lo improve ils 8-13 record of a year ago. Under the direction of first-year coach Ken I,adish, the boys struggled through a dismal season, finishing with a 4-17 record. However, unlike previous years, the little Rangers were not under the direct instruction of Coach Ladish. Both the varsity and junior varsity squads practiced together throughout the entire season; therefore, the team never gained the unity needed under a new coach. Also, a consistent team was never fielded since nearly every jayvee member was, at one time, a starter on the varsity team. Junior Greg Costlow was the one bright spot in the com- paratively “dark” season. Greg compiled 168 points for the season, good for 8.0 point average per game. Sophomore Jon Cornell provided a consistent 6.1 points per game with his 128 markers. Sophomore Mike Puruczky added 111 points for a 5.3 average. Although the little Rangers experienced shortcomings, they maintained a tough defensive structure against many of pow- erhouses in the Tri-County league.

JV Basketball (Boys) — 141 Girls vastly improve under new head coach For firsl-year coach Cary Mehall, rebuilding the Rangerette basketball program proved to be an exacting challenge. Gary took over a program that last year had only nine players on its combined junior varsity and varsity rosters and won only two games in the varsity schedule all year. Cary recruited 22 girls for his team, 17 of whom never played organized ball. He had to go step by step, teaching the basics and keeping things simple. Because of the lack of experience. Coach Mehall did not stress a winning season, but he felt the girls would win a few games in the second half of the season. When the season came to an end, Cary's team had compiled an 8-15 record and earned for Gary the Coach of the Year Award for the Mainline Area. Four returning letter winners made up the nucleus of the team with senior Carla McKay and junior Lisa Mallin anchoring the team. These two girls proved to be backbone of the team. Top scorer for the Rangerettes was senior Carla McKay, the sparkplug of the team. Carla scored 408 points, including 117 field goals, thirty 3-pointers and 144 foul shots. Carla par- ticipated in all 23 games and compiled a 17.8 point-per game average. Junior Lisa Matlin was the second leading scorer with 273 points. She tossed in 104 field goals, a lone 3-pointer and 64 from the charity stripe. Kelly Sliko scored 106 points to come in third in this department.

Lack of experience spells disaster for jayvee squad The little Rangerettes proved to be the exact opposite of the varsity squad in that they had a disastrous season record of 0- 21. Inexperience, from the coach on down, spelled doom for the girls. Like the varsity squad the jayvee team had a new coach, Tricia Basile, who had little coaching experience to rely on. Along with a new coach, came 12 girls completely new to the game of basketball. Practicing with the varsity, the girls did learn some fundamentals of the game but not having played together before was expecting too much of the girls, thus making it impossible to produce a winning team. Junior Elysia Ringler topped the team in scoring with 37 points with 16 from the field and five via the foul line. Sophomore Paula Yuhas, runnerup in scoring, had 13 field goals and 10 free throws for 36 points. Julie Shirdon followed with 28 points to place third in scoring. In comparing the poor showing of 0-21 season of this year s jayvee team with the 11 -9 record of last year’s squad, one must keep in mind that last year the jayvees used practically all of the varsity on their team at some time or other during the season.

The team fielded seven athletes at districts, including Joe Krug. Bob Kovach, Ed White. Jim Dluhos, Daran Wingard, Dan W’olfhope and Carl Wilde. At district competition Ed White earned two third place finishes in the 110 H.H. and 300 I.H., respectively. Jim Dluhos also placed at districts with a sixth place in the high jump. The Rangers also fared well in the Mountain Conference meet at Somerset. .As a team, the Green and Gold finished 7th with 26Vi points. Individual winners included Ed White (hurdles), Jim Dluhos (high jump) and Bob Kovach (hurdles). White captured two first places, Dluhos earned a 6th place in high jump and Kovach came in sixth. Finally. Joe Krug received the senior track award. Joe. a four year track participant and a two-year letterman, accumulated 97 points for the season.

As expected, the boys finished with no wins and ten losses. They faced very experienced teams from Bedford, Bishop McCort, Westmont, Johnstown and Somerset. The experience gained by this young team should should pay off next year since the team will lose no players to graduation.

Even though the Rangers were eliminated by P1AA Class AA defending state champion Ford City in the first round of interdistrict play, they had nothing to be ashamed of, according to Coach Byrja. “As I have said many times during the season, I have the utmost respect and admiration for what this team has ac- complished. They did better than any of us had any right to expect before the season started, and they have earned all the respect that we can give them.” A seven-run second inning and four more tallies in the seventh gave District 7 champion Ford City all-8 victory over the Rangers, District 6 titlist, in the PIAA Class AA playoff game, thus eliminating the Rangers from further competition. Top hurler for the Rangers was sophomore Tom Chunta who compiled a 5-1 record. Pitching in 12 games (51 innings) he showed a 2.98 ERA and had five complete games.

His responsibilities include preparing schedules and con- tracts for all athletic departments. He likewise supervises the budget for the Ranger athletic program and works in close coordination with Edward Terek, high school principal. Mr. Bryja oversees the preparation and upkeep of the sports facilities for all home events. To aid him in the management of these jobs, he annually recruits a corps of young men known as the field crew. These high school students prepare the football field in the fall and keep the baseball field in playing condition in the spring. 154 — Athletic Director Left Center: Athletic Director Mike Bryja check with the office concerning mn up- coming athletic event.

Field Crew — 155 Soon after the start of the school year, the 186 juniors became aware of their role for the coming year. As the “in between class, they would function as “middlemen. They would learn from the leadership of the seniors and pass on their knowledge to the inexperienced sophomores. They would have certain responsibilties. The planning and financing of the Junior-Senior Prom headed the list. Many would undergo the PSAT s in the fall and the College Boards in the spring. Through their involvement in clubs, organizations, sports and extracurricular activities, the juniors would gain a sense of direction and a degree of maturity which would benefit them and prepare them for their senior year which was soon to follow.

HAPPY TIMES Juniors Have Enjoyable Year Academically, the juniors had perhaps the busiest and tough- est year in high school. Many juniors carried a full schedule with possibly one, and in many cases, no study halls. Free time could not be found in their daily routine. But for all that the eleventh graders did manage to have an enjoyable year. The spare time that some did have often went to their volunteering this time helping in the library or working as an aide in the office. Of course, many did participate in extracurricular activities, not only in sports but also in clubs and organizations. These jammin’ juniors took a back seat to no one as they pitched in and helped out when needed. Their happy and carefree attitude blended in well with the other classes. As the year came to a close, they realized that this year was a year of happy times, long to be remembered.

INDUCTIONS NHS Accepts Fourteen Juniors At the NHS induction ceremony held December 14, the society added fourteen juniors to its membership. At the Can- dlelighting rite, ten girls and four boys took the National Honor Society pledge. Veteran members, headed by president Michelle Morris, conducted the program under the direction of co-faculty ad- visors, Mary Ellen Ambroe and Gloria Molnar. Selections resulted from secret balloting of teachers who graded those eligible, on character, service and leadership. Any student, maintaining a 3.6 grade average, became eligible. Each inductee received a pin and a small candle which he lit from the Candle of Knowledge, signifying his acceptance in the honor society. The ceremony concluded with the inductees reciting the society's pledge. These new members began immediately to participate in the organization's activities. One such activity — Teacher Ap- preciation Week — took place February 22-26. Each NHS member picked a teacher’s name and the student became a secret pal to that faculty member. Each day during that week the secret pal presented a gift to the teacher, such as a candy bar, crackers, fruit or whatever, along with a clue to the secret pal's identity. Finally on Friday the teacher learned of his secret pal's true identity. The program proved very successful and most appreciated by the faculty members. As the end of the year drew near, the junior NHS members met to elect officers for the ensuing year.

A number of juniors took part in the forensic program and several of them entered district competition at St. Francis College. The Humanitarian Club found willing volunteers among eleventh graders who helped with their holiday parties for the mentally retarded and assisted with other HUM activities, such as the Carnation sale and the Valentine Dance. Juniors participated in all sports programs — from football in the fall to baseball and track in the spring. The cheerleading squads, varsity and jayvee, boasted several junior participants. Band and chorus also had their share of eleventh graders on their rosters, with several members participating in county, district and regional programs. By active participation in all phases of school life, the juniors proved to be staunch supporters of Ranger country activities.

Even though they did not take over any of these roles, they did involve themselves in many activities which gave them leadership experience and helped them to mature. In the drama department juniors became involved, with several having important parts in plays and musicals and others assisted with stage settings, lighting etc. The band and band front showed quite a few juniors as active participants. The cheerleaders also had a number of juniors on the varsity and jayvee squads. Eleventh graders got involved in HUM Club, Student Coun- cil, FBLA and the newly formed I eo Club. The involvement in activities offered these juniors a means of maturing and prepared them for becoming leaders when they entered their last year of high school.

The test gave the students practice for the upcoming Scho- lastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which all college bound students had to lake. The two-hour long test consisted of two parts — math and verbal. The verbal, fifty minutes in length, contained 65 ques- tions, including antonyms, analogies, sentence completions and reading comprehension. The other half of the test included fifty math questions, including arithmetic, algebra and geometry. An average score on the test resulted from the student's attaining 41 right out of 65 on the verbal and 56 out of 50 on the math. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) would take place on Saturday, March 19 at the University of Pittsburgh at Johns- town.

A mathematics course, usually geometry, was required as well as chemistry, which proved essential for all who planned to enter the field of medicine or science. Chemistry, however, proved valuable to any student, college- bound or not; for it stressed self-reliance, responsibility and the use of common sense in the laboratory when working with dangerous experiments. Likewise the student had to show sound judgement and a sense of awareness in performing experiments. Since the academic junior had to follow a rather strict schedule, he did not always have the opportunity of choosing electives. However, some did manage to participate in band and chorus and to schedule a class in personal typing.

Juniors 169 Numt cnng 148 members, ihe sophomore class would gel its firsl look al senior high life. Becoming adjusted lo a new environment as well as getting acquainted with new teachers would require a period of orientation for the tenth graders. They would have to become accustomed to new schedules, routines, rules and regulations. At first, they would play the role of a follower. Eventually, these new high school recruits would become involved in clubs and organizations, such as forensics, drama, HUM Club and Student Council. Many would order their class ring, a symbol of their high school status. And as the year progressed, these sophomores would gain self-confidence and self-reliance in this new phase of school life. 2% - • At the Im (fining of (hr year, aopbomorM, bring new lo •rnior high, had lo brrumr acquainted to their new environment.

Class Gains Experience by Getting Involved II look a little while for the sophomores to get oriented to the senior high, but once they became adjusted to their new environment they became involved in school organizations and activities. Band and chorus had their share of sophomore participants as did the forensic team and the dramatic group. The athletic teams, in particular football, had a number of tenth graders on their roster and they proved a tremendous asset to the team. The cheerleading squads, both varsity and jayvee, chose several of their members from the sophomore class. Some of the clubs and organizations in which the sophomores participated included the Student Council, the Humanitarian Club and the Leo Club. Some also became involved with the newspaper and yearbook. Many of the sophomores got involved in the selling of citrus, a major fund raiser of the class. Through participation and involvement in these activities, the sophomores gained valuable experience in working with others and this would pay dividends in the next few years when they would have to take over.

Tim Hileman photographed the students on October 9 in the school au- ditorium. Each student had a choice of three picture packages. Offer A included 10-wallets, 3-2l ix3Vi, 2-3 2x5 and 1-8x10. In- cluding tax, this offer cost $7.00. Package B, which proved most popular with the students, was priced at $6.00 and it included 19 wallets, 2-3 2x5, 1-5x7 and one folder. Offer C included 9 wallets, 4-2I 2x3l 2, 1 5x7 and one folder and cost the student $5.00. Pictures arrived in mid-November. Those students who were absent on October 9 had the opportunity to have their pictures taken in the early part of January when retakes were taken. Provine Studios also made available to the yearbook staff pictures of all students to be used in the 1988 Forester.

The Student Council sponsored Snowball Dance at Christmas time permitted sophomores, along with juniors and seniors, to be members of the Snowball Court. Each class elected its own members to be on the court. The Valentine Dance, sponsored by the HUM Club, featured couples from all classes to vie for the King and Queen of Hearts. For the first time since HUM sponsored this dance, a sophomore couple reigned as king and queen. Ron Shaffer and Bunny Crum were chosen by secret ballot of those who attended the dance on February 18. Ron and Bunny were the only sophomore couple in the competition in which there were ten couples. Bunny was crowned by last year’s queen, Sherri Baum- gardner, during intermission.

In this semester-long course was included library science, taught by Henry Polasko, librarian. In this segment of the communications class, the student learned library fundamen- tals. These included learning the Dewey Decimal System, studying a map of the library to learn the location of various materials and making use of the video tape machine. Once these fundamentals were learned, the student had to put into practice his knowledge of what he learned. Each sophomore was required to research a topic of his choice, using the card catalog, the Readers’ Guide and the video tape machine. From his researched topic, which generally included social problems; such as, child abuse, drugs, manways, abor- tion etc., the student wrote a brief account. This he committed to memory and he had to deliver a brief talk. Another segment of the course, initiated this year, was a reading program. Each student was required to read 500 pages per six weeks and he had to take a test on the book which he read. Also short speeches on these books were required at certain intervals throughout the course. The course proved most beneficial to all concerned.

Biology Class Delves in Microphotography Together with the required courses of English, mathematics and social studies, the sophomores had to take biology, a new venture for tenth graders. The use of colorful slides of flowers and insects, the use of the microscope, and the fascinating art of disecting were a few of the visual aids employed in the class. In the microphotography phase of biology, high quality color microphotographs were used in lieu of microscope slies. This enabled the individual student, using his personal micro-viewer, to carefully study the images, proceeding with work at a pace suitable to him. As each student had identical materials, pro- ductive group work, teacher supervision and evaluation were greatly facilitated. Disecting, which occurred toward the end of the year, proved most interesting to the sophomores. Beginning with the earth- worm, the class completed a half-dozen projects, including the clam, the fish and finally the frog. At first the students found the chemical used to preserve dead animals, a bit foul smelling. However, when they became accustomed to this, they soon became involved with their work and found it rather interesting. Most sophomores felt that the course, with all its visual aids and practical aspects, was a valuable learning experience. Dan Sherman Stacy Spence Dan Suako Derek Turgron Scot!

In taking one last look at their final days in high school, the seniors only now realize what they are going to miss as they graduate. The senior trip to Hersheypark. the farewell party following commencement, and their school dances remind them of the good times they had throughout the years. On the other hand. Baccalaureate, senior awards assembly and graduation day remind them of the more serious side of education. A combination of these happy and serious times made for the seniors a special time in their lives, a lime they will long remember and always cherish.
