During homecoming week our enthusiasm and excite- ment built as we dressed and took part in the week’s activities. It all started on Monday, Oct. 1 being P.J. day and Nerd day. The next day we gave a final farewell to summer by celebrating fun in the sun day. Carrie Cook and Jerri Quinn both agreed by saying that “Wednesday was the high point of the week with Jr.'s and Sr.'s striving to be number one.” Those who were not a part of the powder- puff activities showed off by dressing backwards and in- side out. We gave a salute to the crowning of the Queen and her court by dressing in our finest attire. We went out with a bang of Friday, Oct. 5, everyone dressed in our school colors and cheered at the pep assembly to end our school week. Only a face a mother could love ...

On October 3, 1984 Freeland had its traditional powder puff game. The Juniors wore yellow jerseys and were the visitors. Seniors wore the green jerseys and were the home team. The setting of the action was the Freeland Middle School football field. The game ended in a tie that night. Junior Kriss Carl commented, | feel that the Juniors could have done better. Senior Penny Hock said “I really enjoyed it for my last year. Teacher Mr. Hennink commented “We have had a powder puff game for 21 years. It adds a lot of spirit to homecoming week and it gives the girls a chance to see how hard the guys really work.” | The Crown Please ... On Thursday, October 4, 1984 Jenni Wheeker was announced Homecoming Queen at the Queen's As- sembly. This was the sec- ond year that the Queen was announced at the as- sembly and it looks like it may be a new tradition of Homecoming Week. Penny Hock sang Hard Habit to Break”, Cheryl Field sang “| Honestly Love You”, and Amy Miller sang Against All Odds . The Jazz Band also performed a song called “All Night Long”.

The Junior class float came in first . place with their theme “Burn Bulldogs”. The Senior class float titled “Cheer em on to Victory came in second place. The Sophomore class float came in third place with “Flatten em and Blast 'em”. The Freshmen class float came in fourth place with their float titled ‘Cage the Bull- dogs”. All the floats were creative and full of spirit. The Homecoming Court rode on top of Corvettes. Also in the parade were the Pom Pon girls, Cheerleaders, Gymnasts, and other Freeland organizations and floats. JV Cheerleaders enjoying the parade. Pom Pon girls strut their stuff.

Moments never The halftime activities of the 1984 Homecoming game, on October 5, began traditionally with the Marching Falcons performing a few songs, including Rock-it and “Almost Over You . While the band performed, the Homecoming Court rode on Corvettes across the field, and the Pom Pon girls did a routine with the band. Then starting with the Freshmen each girl walked down the field with their fathers. Queen Jenni Wheeker walked down last with her parents. Last year's queen, Bridget Kasper, crowned Jenni and Varsity Football captain, Ken Fischer, presented her with a football signed by the whole team. Court watches as Jenni gets crowned.

Draw To A Close, Night Long T October 6, 1984 balloon heaven! That was what the Homecoming Dance looked like. The dance floor was sectioned off from the rest of the cafeteria. In the four pillars of balloons reaching from the floor to the ceiling, radiating out from the multi-colored pillars, in ninty degree angles, was a line of balloons anchored to the floor by ribbons. The dance floor itself was covered with balloons. Above the dance floor tinsel and helium-filled balloons hung from the ceiling. R R Productions provided the music. The theme song of the dance was “All Night Long,” by Lionel Richie. The song was off the “Can't Slow Down” album. Mason Scherzer, Michelle Wyllie, Shelly Brogan, Su- zanne Hendricks, Jill VanHaaren, Max Holman, Mi- chelle Bauer, Krissy Whitosky, and John Martin's imagination and artistic ability in decorating the cafe- teria was greatly appreciated. —-————— | Krissy Whitosky and Pam Wheeker mingle with upperclassman Lynn Whitosky.

They took the game with a score ot 27- 9 against the St. Charles Bulldogs. Junior Dave Roe- nicke added a lot to the win by scoring 3 touchdowns. After being behind 7-9 at halftime, Coach Hacker pulled his team together to end an exciting night successfully. Pom Pon girls watch the Falcon kickoff. Shari Wood, Karen Spaeth, and Holli Neitzke having fun. The senior class of 1985 was one to remember. Who could forget? We sailed through high school on a cloud ... of smoke. The staff breathed as they got rid ... er ... graduated us. They were always busy playing hopscotch trying to keep one ahead of us. Good thing we tied their shoelaces together. We were always the class that had smiles plastered on our faces. Then again we were always the class that was up to something. We certainly left our mark in the minds of the administration and also the walls of the restrooms. Our minds always flew with motion. Fireworks, fingers, and food always seemed to flying too. Those flying minds also designed our great floats. We won once and were second twice. Then there was the senior hall. Who could forget our hall? The memories, the good times, the good smells from the home ec. room, the bad from the biology room, who could forget them? In that hall we showed we could have spirit and unity too. We partied our way straight to the title of “The Class with the Most Spirit. Our lockers in that hall were probably the most maligned chunk of metal in the building, let's just say we left them lived in.” We were unique. We weren't always stellar in our star quality, but we made it and for that we can be very proud. SENIOR ATTENDANTS JUNIOR ATTENDANTS Margaret DeCaire and Karen Wegner. Debra Holzhofer and Anita Card.

Freeland's record would have been 7-6 if it wer- en't for forfeited weight classes, which gave their oppo- nents 18 to 24 points per meet. The young team with new coaching is ahead of schedule in its drive to restore former glory from past years to Freeland's wrestling program. In dual meets, the Falcons had several outstanding grapplers. Seniors John Smilie and Tom Yeska led the team with most wins in this category. Strong performances by Mike McCollum and Jon Grasso often gave Freeland decisive advantages in their winning efforts. John Smillie, who was team Captain, was the MVW and also racked up the most pins during the season. Tom Yeska was the most improved wrestler and Co-Captain Brian McKellar was the outstanding rookie for the season. In tournaments, John Smillie, Paul Dennis, and Mike McCollum provided the scoring punch. This season; Smil- lie, Yeska, and McKellar qualified for Regionals. This is the most Freeland has sent in four years. The J.V. squad; which posted a winning record with many shut-outs, featured Scott Wruck, Chris Vasold, Troy Leiner, Jim Leaman, and Chris Heinlein. With all the returning underclassmen, Freeland should post a winning season and qualify several wrestlers for the state meet next year. Finally, Freeland also hopes to be- come a dominant C.M.L. power in two years. Wrestlers Fine John Smillie feeling the thrill of his 7-6 victory over Ithaca.

The J.V. team started out very inexperienced but with a good coach and lots of hard work they improved more and more as the season progressed.

The main speakers of the night were: Karen Wegner, Amy Rutledge, Karen Smith and Dave John- son. Some things that took place at Baccalaureate were: senior wills were read, also senior polls were handed out and senior history and futures were read. There was also entertainment for the evening as Jen- ny Wheeker sang: “I Sing the Body Electric and as John Martin expertly played his trumpet and a trio performed by Penny Hock, Amy Miller and Cindy Fix as their song filled the room called TI Miss You”.

It was a night of happiness, sadness, laughter, and tears. Speaking first was Mary- beth Keenan with her speech “A New Begin- ning . Then Jodee Bishop with “The American Dream”. Mason Scherzer, being as original and crazy as ever, made the audience laugh with his speech “Another Hurdle”. Christine Braman then said her valedictorian speech entitled “Ideas Are Like Stars”. The Senior Band played their final song with the Concert Band with the song ''Novena '. Mr. Judd Twilliger was chosen to give this years commencement ad- dress. After diplomas were presented, Amy Miller sang ‘‘I’ll Miss You Forever From Today , written and composed by Penny Hock, and was accompanied by Cindy Fix on flute and Penny Hock on the piano. A New Beginning Jill Anderson turns her tassel. Mason Scherzer and Amy Rutledge reward the camera's with smiles. The long grueling hours finally paid off. After meeting many times a week, Mason Scherzer, Mary Beth Keenan, Dave Coy, Chris Karow, and Scott Holman along with their advisor Mrs. Miller prepared for the big case. Scott was charged with negligent homicide but Mason and Mary Beth did a professional job of defend- ing him. Dave “the party goer” and Chris “Scott's girlfriend” had their testimonies down great. In the end Freeland's defense team won the decision over Caroll- ton's prosecuting team. Scott walked out a free man (well almost a man)! Another Hurdle Goodevening, tonight brings to a close the class of 85's flamboyant 13 year romp through Freeland Schools. In a sense we have cleared a hurdle. As a Hurdler let me speak a little on hurdling. To most, the hurdles don't seem all the formidable. To those who hurdle, out of sheer repittion, they even seem less formitable. Really they are, but let's not forget how much it hurts when we miss. Just ask Scott Berghius. In spite of their seemingly disguised treachery, hopefully we won't run out of hurdles. What kind of life would it be without something to strive for? Each of us being an individual will run in our own hurdle race, running after different things. How fast we run depends upon the motivation that lies somewhere within us. Whether we clear the hurdle depends upon how badly we want to and how well we play the game. This passage from Kansas sums it up: “Play, Play the game tonight, can you tell me if it's wrong or right is it worth the time is it worth the price. Can you see yourself in the white spotlight, and play the game tonight. Now before somebody gets a shovel out because it's so deep let me remind you of some of the hurdles we've cleared. The graduates won't remember these but our parents should. The first step, the first word, the first whole day using the toilette trainer. This being the last day of school, who could forget the first. Who would like too? Then of course, the first girlfriend, and the first kiss. JoDee! The drivers Liscense!!! Explaining the first accident. Our first real live all nighter on an exam or term paper. Speaking of all nighters, what an apapropriate time to thank all of those who made tonight possible. This message taken from a greeting card. I'd like to thank all those who made our graduation possible. Your parents, McDonald's restaurants, the Nodoz Company, The Pub- lishers of Clasic Comics, The Japanese for all those stereo's, radio's and mopeds, the people who make backpacks, Adidas, and The Levi Strauss Company. Looking back through the years at all the hurdles we've cleared we shouldn't, but if we so feel Scared, we won't stop and falter, 'cause things can only get better. Before Um through here tonight let me express my gratitude to those, young and old | call friends. From the heights to the depths, through laughs and tears | hope you realize what you mean to me. Without your strength, smiles, and the little goose to help over the hurdle, | wouldn't be here tonight. To my family who will be there when 1 fall, time after time, | wish you good luck cause you don't get rid of me after tonight. Finally let me once again quote from a song. “Here | am, on the road again, here | am up on the stage. Here | do, playing the star again here 1 go, turn the page. Tonight we are stars, tomorrow the page is turned. In the following pages what will our hurdles be? Written By Mason i Scherzer “PII Miss You Forever From Today’’ It started many years ago when we became the best of friends. And now I’m leaving, | must go. | hope our friendships never ends with all your care and all your love you help me through my trying times. And even when I’m up above, I'll never forget your smiling eyes.
