The Tracer Forest Park High School Ferdinand,Indiana Volume 13 1983-84 1984 When George Orwell picked the year 1984 for the title of his book, he picked a good one. 1984 was the year of the movies Footloose and Flashdance, which had soundtracks that went high on the music charts. It was the year Kiss took off their make up for the first time. Where’s the beef? became a popular phrase after being used in a commercial, and Michael Jackson got burned while filming a commercial. Forest Park students sweated it out during a late-summer heat wave, and later in the year three teachers were hurt in an accident on one of the many icy days of the winter. The Lady Rangers brought home the first basketball sectional crown in the school's history. Yes, 1984 was a year worth writing about.

As we, the class of 1984, conclude our final year at Forest Park, we have reached one of our most im- portant goals. Searching within our- selves we look for answers and solutions. Our dreams and plans will separate us, but we will still look back on our treasured past and precious memories. The final year brings with it confusion with decisions that must be made quickly. Deep within us lies the excitement of leaving Forest Park, but there is also feeling of sorrow. Now the adult challenges are at our fact, and are waiting to be conquered. We are at the top and in control, but sometimes this can be con- fusing. Will we achieve success? We have worked too hard to fail. Have we finally finished our high school climb to success or are we just beginning?

Our junior magazine sale was one of the biggest projects we worked on this year to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. We’ve passed our goal and hope to keep this ambition in our class. We hope we have set a good example for the following classes. As we enter our senior year, we hope to fulfill the expec- tations of our faculty and fellow students. And we the class of '85 are ready to accept the leadership of being seniors.

Sophs mark half way point We, the class of '86, have now marked the half way point in our high school years. We are proud of what we have accomplished in the past two years and look forward to what we will accomplish in the coming two years. We have worked together on projects like our sectional display. We have also participated in all the school groups and activities, such as the band, the sectional champion girls’ basketball team, the sectional champion varsity baseball team, and all other clubs and activities. We feel we have proved ourselves worthy of our school, and we are anxious to take on the responsibili- ties of being upperclassmen.

Being a freshman isn’t easy. Those first few days we felt insecure. We got lost sometimes, and the upperclassmen seemed to be laughing at us occasionally. But we adjusted to the new situation. We found that to have an interesting school year we had to get involved in school activities, clubs and sports, and we had to show our pride by supporting our fellow students. We came here as individuals. Now we have united into the class of '87. We look forward to the next three years. The Class of ’87 Freshman class officers are Kevin Kluemper, secretary, John Haake. president, Kateri Wessel, treasurer, and Dean Fleck, vice-president.

We celebrated Ann Schwoeppe’s success in the state track finals and the baseball team’s sectional championship. The seniors celebrated the end of their high school years and the beginning of their adult lives. 1984 was a year of accomplishments. It was the first year for the All Star program, which sent high school athletes to lower schools to encourage younger students not to use drugs and alcohol. For the first time, woods projects from FP won recognition in a national contest. Three varsity sports won conference championships in our first year in the Blue Chip Conference. And the band placed second in the state. In May the underclassmen celebrated a few weeks of fun and freedom, but by August they were ready to celebrate seeing all their friends again. And now its time for the yearbook staff to celebrate the end of the 1984 Tracer. But whenever you want to celebrate 1984 all over again, we’ll be right here on the bookshelf. 142 143 1984 Tracer staff Editor............................................Dwayne Klem Personalities section editor......................Mary Werner Activities section editor.................................Sheila Klem Academics section editor..........................Kathy Bieker Sports section editor.............................Steve Voegerl Advertising manager.........................................Lisa Ernst Photographers.........................Becky Maxey, Joyce Fetter Staff says thanks The 1984 Tracer staff would like to say thank you to some people who helped make this yearbook possible.
