The present an- nual has selected Take A Look At Me Now as its theme for 1985. Take a look at your past. Your elementary days filled with wonder and your junior high craze punctuated by rebellion serve to mold you into the person you are today. Do you look the same? Talk the same? Have the same friends? Do you think about things more? Less? Do you still feel the same about Christmas? School? Friends? Your family? How has your inner look at the world changed? Take a hard look at you now! Do you like what you’re doing? Have you learned from some of your decisions? What has being in the ninth grade been like? The twelfth grade? What about the future? Are you going to be what you've always wanted?” Does marriage, work, and freedom frighten you at all? The future will hold many memories for you. Later, when this yearbook is pulled out, we hope you can look at this year, 1985 — the past, as a fond remember- ance. The book has been designed for this pur- pose. Take a look at 1984-85 now. We’ve like what we have seen. The staff wishes that you do also. INVITES YOU w Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ougljt to be done, whether you like it or not, it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, it is prob- ably the last lesson he learns thor- oughly, — Unknown Just when you think that it’s safe in the school you shouldn’t be quite so sure. When silence fills the main hall you can expect something to occur. How boring a day without mischief would be, so a prank is one thing schools don’t lack. Very sportive a student must be to succeed, behind the vice-principals’ back. if you’re feeling sorry and sad i'd really sympathize don't you be sad just call me tonight if the sun has faded away i’ll try to make it shine there is nothing i won’t do when you need a' shoulder to cry on i hope it will be mine call me tonight and i will come to you any time at all all you gotta do is call and i’H be there the Beatles V | j walking around it’s clear i'm worlds away thinking with only half my mind slipping away to somewhere in my heart go to a world where no one's been before that’s when i find myself not quite sleeping but still dreaming and i’m worlds away i wanna be worlds away apart from the day to day i know i’ll be okay when i get worlds away — the Go-Go’s ' r Don't take yourself too seriously. Have some fun at living. When things get too tense step aside and let your sense of humor ease the pressure. Even on bad days there’s a lot to be happy about. Try to see it and you'll avoid ulcers and a prema- ture departure. Start the day with a smile and try to keep it there. — Bob Bird A sense of humor is what’s behind a genuine smile. Be serious and bear down when you have to, but you don't have to all the time. See the light side and try to cheer the other guy up when things get too tight. T- Bob Bird T— v ° Hello and Good-bye No words could grasp the feeling of what r lt today. The yearbook p ge is slowly turned as pictures fade'lw y. Remember, now, our freshm i year, when High School life was new. I laugh when looking through the book v from nineteen tighty-two. tialuuit SENII Roger Dutcher The Senior There's no mistake in seeing it . . . faces of friends who have cared in the past with a hope to make the friendship last. though the years that escaped us are flowing by fast. There’s no mistake in hearing it . . . voices of classmates that want you to know you will be in their thoughts wherever they go, and the bond of great friendship continues to grow. There’s no mistake in feeling it .. . a life of occurances, good times and bad, the dances and bonfires and spirit we’ve had, and now is the time ... for the big High Scho Find nothing wrong in saying it . I am now face to face with my senior year so many new things have begun to appear Although, in the future, few of you will be nea there is always the memory of what we had here. SEj now when you’re feelin’ low and the fish won’t bite you need a little bit o’ soul to put you right and when your girl has gone and you're broke in two you need a little bit o’ soul to see you through now when you’re in a mess and you feel like cryin’ just remember this little song of mine and as you walk through life tryin’ to reach your goal remember what i say 'bout a little bit o’ soul — the Ramones 16 | Alford, Gloria Ames, Jennifer I Andreski, Lori Arnold, Scott Arnold, Tina Badalamenti, Carrie H Badour, William Barber, Donn Beehler, Mark CLASS OF 1985 Bennett, Michelle Bigalke, Wendy Black, Steven 17 Bonem, Joseph Borchardt, Robert Bouchard, Dan Bouchard, Leo Brooks, Jeffrey Brown, Deborah Budzinski, Kim Burns, Jennifer Carroll, Jane Caspers, Jennifer Christensen, Patrick Clifford, Peter SENIORS' CLASS OF I Dyer, Sean Edelstein, Judith Edwards, Christopher Eigner, Kelly Englehardt, Jeffrey Faustin, Cari Ann Flues, Lisa Foret, Chris Fredenburg, Earl Fritz, Suzanne Gatza, Nancy Geno, Dennis SENIORS’ CLASS OF F • Hugo, Bruce Idalski, Ruth Jacobs, Chrislee Jacobs, Jeffrey I I Jamrog, Teresa Jacobs, Susan I I Jankowski, Matt Jacobsen.

But with the help of our parents, teachers and most importantly, our friends we have done it. Our Stairway possible, but soon it’s going to be here, graduation day, a day fraught with memories and tears. Yet. we will forge ahead keeping in mind our class motto: Yesterday is gone, remember it. Today is here, live it. Tomorrow is yet to come, dream it.” FUTURE NEWS Donna VanHurk is still cam- paigning for P.O.W. (Pay Our Wives). “FUTURE NEWS” searched the world over to find out what Essexville Garber's graduating class of 1985 were doing with their lives. They interviewed wealthy corporate execs and some who were married, going to school or working at regular 9 to 5 jobs. There were a few who took a different path and are living life their own way. This is a combination of some of the more surprising results. Sue Jacobs proudly claimed the Miss America title with her own rendition of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Don Kilgus can be seen playing receiver or ad missions director for MSU. Kyle Piotrowski is trying to spread good news and peace throughout Latin America. Owning her own boat company, Michelle Ne- veau enjoys life as the Pacific Ocean Prin- cess. Judy Edelstein took Hollywood by storm as her new movie grossed 6.4 million in its first week. Dodging bullets and crawling under brush. Bob Borchart leads his troops across Central America. Floating in space, Cheryl Wright be- came NASA’s first woman to man her own space ship. nds, In the lime light, Michelle Bennet travels around as bodyguard for Mr. T. Jenny Caspers now makes statues for the House of Wax Museum. U.S. President Jeff Stoth- ard is determined to run the country his way. Whether it be scuba divers or spider collectors, Jodi Peplinski is the first to arrive to interview the stars. Linda Ward author of “Break Dancing on Skates,” recently won Miss L.A.

Beware the fury of a patient man The heart bowed down by weight of woe. To weakest hope will cling. You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist fears this is true. O. how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes! I have nothing to declare ex cept my genius. any mans death diminishes me. because I am in- volved in Mankind� and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls� it tolls for thee. go by.

By staying active and in shape, the athlete takes pride in his or her physical well being. While wearing that Garber jersey or uniform, the athlete proudly represents his or her school and community. As a cell to a living organism, the individual dedication and hard work of each athlete is for the sole benefit of the athletic team. Being an athlete includes learning more than just the school academics. Self discipline, dedication, and working to reach a goal are all values that athletics teach which can be carried over into life after school. The athlete who partici- , pates a lot depends upon the pport and constant chal- lenge of the athlete who doed fot play as much. In the same manner benchwarmers” rely upon the starters to make their playing chances a reality. Being a high school athlete is an experience that no one should miss. The Rthlete The largest part of the athlete’s appreciation must go to the athletic supporter. Whether this support comes from the Athletic Association, the fans, the cheerleaders, the bench warmers, or the band, it is all extremely important to the athlete. Without the help of such organizations, the athlete would be unable to function as we know today. Because the supporter is as dedicated to the athlete as the athlete is to the team, these loyal backers deserve more recognition. Under all conditions and at all times, the athletes always can find somebody cheering for them. These organizations are so vital to athletics that we must preserve them in their constant supportive state. As the athletic supporter takes pride in the athlete, the athlete should in turn take pride in his or her supporters. .v V A R S I T Y G O L F Front Row L-Ri Matt Taylor. Jerry Watson. Brian Thomas.

PT Along with many other outstanding Garber sports, the 1984 Varsity Golf team carried through for an excellent season. They not only tied the school record for 13 wins, but they set the school record of 31 consecutive wins over the past three years. Tournament results included the Garber Invitational, taking first place. The County Invitational was marked with a third place from Garber. Garber took another third place at Regionals. They also were the Tri-Valley Champi- ons. In the All Conference, the first team consisted of Todd Moore, Brian Diehl, and Matt Taylor, the second team. Brett Hubert. The player named for first team All County was Matt Taylor, and the second team player was Brett Hubert. Coach Campeau added that the team did it’s best to practice, even when it was their own time. The team was not only successful, but conducted themselves in a manner that repre- sented Garber very well. This was the team’s second T.V.C. Championship in a row. and a second trip to the state finals in the past three years. All in all. the Varsity Golf team, with a lot of skill and practice, showed their expertise of an excellent season, thanks to all of the team members car- ing and effort.

Their results were ten wins and three losses, these loses were extremely tough ones by a 3-4 deci- sion. This year I feel the girls competed extremely well, in fact it’s the best team I ever had, said Coach Hol- comb. This year, the girls were not a social team, but the most competitive team ever from Garber. The girls put a lot of hard work and determination into their goals. Their main goal was making it to the state finals this year. Garber Netters did just that and even surpassed that goal. At the Garber Invita- tional, the girls came up second out of seven teams represented. The girls went to regionals at Flint Ains- worth and really showed their racket as the placed second. This was the first year they went to state and placed twelth out of twen- ty-two teams represented.

The only opponents that de- feated our proud JV’s were Swan Val- ley and Eisenhower. Overall the JV’s got fired up and set the victorious stage for the Varsity the next night. The most exciting game they had came against the tough Carrollton team. With three seconds left in the ball game, the Dukes were behind 18-16. The only hope for victory fell upon the shoulders of the kicker. Mike Monville, who put in a 37 yard field goal for the Garber 19-18 win. Early in the successful season, tail- backer Jay Williams helped the team to victory. Unfortunately, Williams was plagued by a bad injury. BOTTOM L-R K. Brooks. G. Frost. S. Przybylski. M. Hall. R.

The 1984 Frosh Football team battled their way to a 60 and I season. The inexperienced but hard working fresh- men represented the proud Garber spirit quite well. The little Dukes ex- perienced all types of game situations. Their two losses came to Swan Valley and Frankenmuth. Beating Flemlock 8- 6 and coming from behind to a 24-20 win over Bullock Creek, the freshmen got the taste of close games. Dropping a tie to Millington 6-6, they also played a game with neither a win nor a loss. Aided by the frosh blocking crew. Rich Vantol. Mike Joswiak. and Todd Wil- liams did a good job with running and ball-handling. Over all. this Frosh above average season will live forever in the memories of the players. Rookies Riot To Success rt WHO© j sex 108 COMPUTER ENDS A dream season, what does it consist of? One way it could be classified is an undefeated season or as a state championship. This year's Varsity Football team accomplished one of those dreams and came close to the other. The week of HELL started on August 13 with the Varsity leading the freshmen in all the physical football activities. On that Wednesday, the Varsity’s off-season training was going for the worst. They were being beat by everyone, but by the first game they were in the best condition of their lives. On September 7. the Caro Tigers came to town, but the Dukes made sure 1984 wouldn’t be the year of the Tiger by shutting out their foes 35-0. Bill Badour had an excellent game as he did all year by scoring 4 touchdowns in four different ways. The Duke linemen showed their prowess and what was sure to come of the year. Qarterback Kevin Spencer also had a fine game by throwing 2 scoring strikes. One was his first pass of the season, a 33 yd. strike to Jeff Jacobs. Mike Meehleder kicked 5 P.A.T.'s to start back up from last year’s season. The next week the Dukes traveled to Swan Valley to take on the tough Vikings. The Dukes won the hard fought game 30-12. Lineback- er Brian Kloha was a star of the game by returning a 44 yard intercep- tion for the go-ahead touchdown. The Dukes came home the next week for a showdown with Bullock Creek and they showed the Lancers how to play some Riddell’’ football. Bill Badour had an outstanding performance rushing for 308 yards and four touchdowns. Garber s fourth game was considered the one for the conference championship. The boys from Essexville traveled to Birch Run and came from behind to beat the Panthers 37-30. Badour. Spencer, and the rest of the Dukes, brought home a victory. Badour had 188 yards and 2 touchdowns and Spencer galloped 12 yards for the Dukes first scores plus adding a 28 yard touchdown pass to senior end. Pat Kotewa. Mike Meehleder had 3 extra points in a superb effort. In the dramatic victory, the bench effort was also noticed as the Dukes rallied to win. The Homecoming crowd was flying high for a Garber victory on October 5. When the game started, they weren’t the only things flying. Frankenmuth came out and surprised the Dukes by throwing 51 times but the Troll” defense dug in and stopped the Eagles 38-17. Senior linebacker Dean Verhaeghe played a key role by returning an interception 15 yards for a score. Chris Foret also had an outstanding game at fullback. Spencer threw for a td. and added a 40 yard scamper. The next week the Dukes traveled to Hemlock and manhandled the Huskies 38-13. Badour had 218 yards with 3 touchdowns. Foret also bulled for 70 yards. The offensive line of Pat Kotewa. John Paxson. Mike Laisure. Matt Wiesenauer. Devot Pettis. Dean Verhaeghe and Jeff Jacobs had an outstanding game as giant holes opened all night. A DREAM SEASON The “Trolls’’ open holes for Dozer”. Spencer. Garber’s second leading passer.

Missing: Bob Leclair - • On October 19. the Carrollton Cavaliers invaded Duke country and found themselves in a heap of trouble as the Dukes destroyed them 35-0. Bill Badour and Pat Kotewa had excellent nights for the team as Badour broke the school’s fushing record with 213 yards on 26 carries and Kotewa scored 3 times, twice on ‘passes from Spencer and the other on a 24 yard end around.” The defense rose ' to the occasion to shut out the speed Cavs. One of the dreams was met the following week at Millington. The Dukes won r|he conference championship for the second year in a row as the Trolls and adour rose to the occasion. The Duke linemen were tougher than nails as Badour rushed for 146 yards and 4 touchdowns. Mike Laisure. a lineman, even managed to complete a pass. A 37 yard rainbow” to Kotewa that set up the ukes final score. Parents night at Garber had the Dukes playing the Commanders from Eisen- hower. The senior player’s had never scored a point in their careers against the [Ike team, but on this COLD. November evening, the Dukes could do no wrong. j'The final tally was 34-0 as the men from Essexville surprised the Commanders • on the opening play from scrimmage. Senior wingback. Matt Jankowski, scam- ' pered 24 yards on a reverse to set up Garber’s first score. Bill Badour also did j his job again as he shattered the single season rushing record with 132 yards and , 3 touchdowns as he finished the season with 1,432 yards. This included an unbelievable 25 touchdowns. The Duke defense showed their stuff as they shut down Ike. The defense even managed to score for the third time on the year as Jeff Jacobs swept up a fumble, caused by a crushing hit by John Paxson. and raced 53 yards for the score. After the victory, all the Dukes could do was wait to see what happened to their playoff dreams. Hopes were high as our opponents scores came in. but after the dust had settled we were tied with Saginaw Novel. It all came down to a Saturday game between Taylor Center (4-4). which played Novel earlier in the year, and Taylor Kennedy, also (4-4). The parties had started all over Essexville as a rumor flew that Taylor Kennedy had won. A Kennedy victory would ensure another week of practice for the Dukes. This was all not to be. as the score over the radio told that Taylor Center had won. The dreams and hopes of these young men were shattered and many outstanding careers had ended. The Dukes had a great success at the All-Conference voting, where they placed eight players, all seniors, to the first team. All-Stater Bill Badour was the unanimous coaches choice on the offensive. Joining Badour on offensive was senior end Pat Kotewa. Kotewa also made the first team defensive squad. Two Trolls” also made first team. Mike Laisure and Dean Verhaeghe carried on the tradition as hard hitting linemen. Quarterback Kevin Spencer rounded out the first team. Spencer also made the second team as defensive back. Chris Foret and Matt Wiesenauer had honors on the second team offensive squad for the Dukes. Another 1st team selection was kicker. Mike Meehleder. The 1st team defensive squad consisted of Kotewa. John Paxson at end. and senior Brian Kloha at linebacker. Foret also made the second team on defense. Also making the prestigious team was Jeff Jacobs as an offensive end. qualifying him for honorable mention.

PAT DAVIS tri- umphed over the oldest record on the board, from 1971 in the 100 yd. backstroke and reset the 100 yd. fly. A seven year record in the 400 free relay was reset and also qualified for the state meet. The relay con- sisted of BILL MAHONEY. DON WEAVER. DAVIS AND KENNEDY.

PAT qualified in the 100 backstroke and 100 fly placing the nator seventh over- all in the state. The team had a powerful front but lacked the depth to win many victories. The overall standing was 7-6. At the ISC meet they finished third in the conference. Outstanding per- formances were put in by JIM BLOCK in the 100 yd breas- troke. DOUG WITZKE in the distance, and RICK GRA- BOWSKI in diving. DON THOMPSON established him- self as a legitimate spriter due to his improved times.

UUCZi V- Dukes Spike To 16-12 The Varsity Volleyball team had a smashing season as they compiled a 16-12 record. Although it was a young team short of experience, they worked to overcome this. The three seniors ended their fourth year of tenure in a general fashion, leading the seven juniors and one sophomore to a 9-5, third place in conference play. At Garber’s Fifth Annual Invita- tional. Duke volleyballers earned themselves a third place after de- feating Handy, Freeland, and a strong Western team. The girls came up short in the Finals by losing a heart felt match to Eisenhower 15- 7. 4-15, 6-15. This proved to be the high point of their season, however, as they never were able to regain that championship form. Double losses to Birch Run and Franken- muth spelled doom for the Dukettes third title chances. An unexpected loss to MacArthur in districts sud- denly dashed the dreams of the Du- kettes. The young ladies were buoyed by the play of Julie Miller, a 4-year Varsity starter who contributed to a 93-36 record and 2 TVC crowns during that period. Although in- juring a knee and being out for 4 weeks, Julie played well enough to earn the MVP award in the confer- ence as she out pointed all others. She was also voted as the Team MVP, earned the Coaches award, and garnered Honorable Mention All-State recognition. Allowing this spiking to take place was Brenda Oliver, who played the setting position. She grew throughout the year and re- ceived second team all-conference status. Michelle Neveau. Coaches award and Honorable Mention in TVC. and Lori Piorkowski. Honor- able Mention, were also singled out. Kneelmg UR: S Brown. M. Wise. D. Maldonado. A. Groulx. J. Stacik. M. Williams. L. Witzke.

At the Akron Fairgrove invitational Garber placed in 3rd. The Flint Kearsley invita- tional was less rewarding with a 8th. place. At the Garber invitational the host team ended up with 2nd. place.

The J.V. net- ters were 11-3 in the T.V.C. which put them in second place. Their toughest competition came from Brich Run who upset them four times in close matches. In two tournaments these girls made the semi-finals. During the Lakers Tournament. Millington upset them. One of their defeats to Birch Run occured in the North- wood semis. Kay McNally and Joni Peplinski supplied the leadership to this 19-5 squad. Success was the byword for this young team. I This year’s Junior Varsity Let- termen were: S. Adamowski, E. Beller, M. Berg, M. Daily, L. Doane, J. Dunn, T. Evans, M. Hall, J. Jones, J. Lyle, K. Madaj, M. Manyen, K. Meyers, B. Palmer, and D. Sarnowski. J.V. Most Valuble Wrestler was awarded to Mark Manyen. Todd Evans had the fastest pin of 25 seconds for the young grapplers. This year’s team, for the first time, was able to defeat Hemlock and John Glenn ending the season with a 11 and 4 record. DUKE’S PIN A SUCCESS 119 ne wpd V Foret Leads Grapplers To This year’s Varsity Wrestling had an excellent year by posting an 11-4 dual meet record. This record was due to some great senior leadership of Chris Foret, Dennis Geno, and Kevin Madaj. These men led the underclass- men to one of the most impressive seasons ever. When asked if he was pleased with the season. Coach Bris- sette said, ’’Definitely. We managed to beat Hemlock and John Glenn in head to head competition.” The three seniors had a combined record of 78- 25-1 with Foret leading the way with a 26-6-1 record. In the T.V.C. meet, the Dukes took third place and then they went on to take an outstanding 7th place in the district competition. This years varsity team consisted of Keith Brooks, Matt Clark, Chris Foret, Gandi Frost, Dennis Geno, Jody Gustafson, Kevin Irish, Keith Madaj, Bill Ouellette, and Darren Pettis. The team awards were awarded to Keith Madaj for Most Valuable, Dennis Geno for Most Improved, and Chris Foret for Team Leader. A Pinning Season Bottom: L-R E. Bellar. Unknown. J. Dunn. K. Irish. J.

Changing coaches and tryouts were only a few. Things for awhile were tough but pulling together as a team is what the girls did. Practicing all summer for a well earned first place at Michigan State, the varsity squad had the hon- or of going back to state one more time to be All Star Cheerleaders at the east-west All Star foot- ball game. Competition is only part of the sport of cheerleading. There are many times that sacri- fices are made in order to cheer for certain sports. The traditional football and basketball cheering is coming to an end. Cheerleaders are expected to become involved with almost every sport at Garber. If it’s not cheering, it's making posters to get the teams fired up. Many long days are completed at hard practices preparing them for each game. Cheering isn't always a bowl of cherries. Sometimes it can be quite a trying ex- perience getting the crowd fired up. Many fac- tors affect the performance of the cheerleader, like the weather. It’s one long night filled with agony if it rains during football. All in all, as time changes so does cheerleading. These changes have allowed cheerleading to become the sport that it is. Smile Mia! dJL [LihliiiLit.il The Junior Varsity cheerleading squad has im- proved a tremendous amount since their fresh- men days. The JV’s have worked long and hard in or- der to boost school spirit at games. Because the girls are at an in-between stage: be- yond the excitement of the Freshmen year, but still out of the reach of the Varsi- ty’s spot light, they are sometimes over looked. The gals don’t let that both- er them as they work their hardest all year long. While at summer cheer- leading camp at MSU this past summer, the JV’s learned new stunts and cheers. They used their tal- ent while competing to bring a second place title. Dazed and Confused This is fun! Back Row L-R: J. Nowak. S. Van Natter. D. Tober. A. Schaffer. J. Ver- meesch. Front Row L-R: A. Stratton. A. Adamowski. M. Sherman. What’s Going on? Handle i! Tricia. The freshmen cheerlead- ing squad did a good job of firing up the fans this year. The girls found out that it takes more to be a cheer- leader than they might think. A lot of hard work goes into having a good squad. They went to Michi- gan State Cheerleading Camp where they learned new cheers and chants. At the end of the week they competed against other squads and won first place. Along with cheering at the football and basketball games, cheerleaders have more responsibilities such as taking part in pep assem- blies, making hall decora- tions, and upholding the reputation the girls have achieved in the past. l LLi;liLLl wwso The 1984 girls basketball team was a great success. All the girls partici- pated this year, ending the season with a 12-8 record and a district ti- tle. With only eight players, none of them seniors, the young team didn’t realize what their capabilities were. The first three games changed all that, as they took the court by storm with high scoring victories. Practice started for the young team consisting of four juniors and four sophomores on August 13. By the time their first game rolled around on September 6, Middleton's gals were ready for victory. Many great goals were set and attained by individual players. Eliza- beth Skinner put in large amount of work ’under the boards” and had a great season on account of it. Im- proving from last year. Lisa Serafini captured the attention of every crowd with expert ball handling as a point guard. Along with two starting juniors, two sophomores participat- ed, Lori Piorkowski and Tammy Tay- lor. The girls ended the season with a whirl of excitement by putting Es- sexville on the map as district champs. Entering Regional finals, the gals lost a tough game to Ovid- Elsie, 37-22. Skinner and Piorkowski were rewarded for their efforts by receiving second team honors for the Tri-Valley Conference. Earning honorable mentions were Serafini and Andrea O'Polka.

This year’s Junior Varsity Bas- ketball team made an excellent attempt to follow in their foot- steps. Coach Hages led his powerful J.V. Dukes to the top of the Tri-Valley Confer- ence for the second time in a row with a slightly scared record this year. The J.V. Dukes captured the crown once again as they rose to a 12-2 T.V.C. record for the 84-85 season. The only marks on their record were a 53-43 loss to Carrollton near the end of the season, who they successfully defeated early in the season by 22 points, and their 62-61 loss to Millington at the last game of the year. They soundly defeat- ed Millington early in the season 67-52. For the second time in a row. the Dukes compiled a 17-3 overall record, making this year’s team as re- spectable as last years team was. This year’s Junior Varsity Basketball team consisted of Steve Przybylski. Jay Williams. John Zie- linski. Mike Monville, Steve Shaffer. Rod Atwood, Jon Jecz- mionka, Joe Loop. Jim VanOoteghem.

Even with a respectable 13-8 record and a third place finish in the Tri-Valley Conference, the 1984-85 Varsity Boys Basketball team had to be a little disappointed. Coming into this campaign, each team member knew they had a shot at the T.V.C. title and were ready to go after it. Garber started off great by winning four of it's first five conference games, with their only loss being on a last second shot to Frankenmuth. With that loss and two lopsided losses to Carrollton, Garber fell out of contention for first place which Frankenmuth and Carrollton tied with 13-1 records. Garber finished at 9-5 in league play. The Dukes were led in scoring by Tom Badour who held a 19.5 average through 20 games. Two-year starter Dwight Dufort was next in line with 13.1 points a game while sophomore Kevin Discher hit double figures with 11.4 points a contest. John Learning came on strong in the second half of the season to score 8.8 points a game. Badour led everybody again in rebounds with 154 with Discher following with 114. Clifford led the team in assists with Dufort coming in second. Shooting a fine 56%. Brad Davidson and Sam Brown took the F.G.% honors, while Clifford and Badour both shot just under 50%.

The choir is composed of juniors and seniors who enjoy music. Although there are no tryouts required for this class it does re- quire many extra prac- tices and long rehears- als. Unlike most classes the choir must be har- monious in more than one way. During the year the choir travels to various places. This year they have been busy preparing and giving programs to local hospi- tals. private parties, and homes for the elderly. Among other perfor- mances the choir is fam- ous for their Christmas and Spring concerts. This year the choir won a standing ovation in both. Varsity's style of music varies with the program. They are capa- ble of singing very seri- ous, sacred songs in four-part harmony to light hearted pop sin- gles. The spring con- certs honor the students at Garber in their final performance on stage. Senior Jeff Brooks was quoted in saying that even though he never had the chance to par- ticipate in choir he feels that choir is a class that gives you a chance to learn alot.” Senior Eliza- beth Lebster comment- ed that Through the four years Miss Pat has taught her how to suc- ceed in life as an indi- vidual while still being able to work within a group.” Although being in a choir requires alot of extra work, this group shows that it’s all worth it.

Another great attrac- tion is Garber Singers. This choir is composed of freshmen and sopho- more’s with a few upper classmen. This music group just as all others, requires many practices and long rehearsals. They perform for many area groups, clubs, and organizations spreading their pride and enthusi- asm. Among all their travels this choir also performed during Garber's Christmas and Spring concerts in which they did a great job. Be- ginning singers often are timid about singing in public places but this amatuer choir looks quite professional. Dur- ing weekly rehearsals the choir is divided into their sections to prac- tice their individual notes. This insures the singers of coming to- gether in perfect four- part harmony. Because of being fresh at enter- tainment. this choir does have a few aides that give just as much if not more to the choirs enthusiasm. Under the direction of Patricia Ankney this choir can only go one way in qual- ity, and that is up. Many people are willing to give their all. besides the kids in choir and the di- rector. the accompani- ment of piano and drums help out im- mensely. These people are Kevin Cole and Steve Duyck respectively. It’s not an easy job singing in front of people for this group makes it look as easy as sayng do-re- me!! A Weekend To Remember Student Congress is an important activ- ity that happens once a year when stu- dents see first hand how the state government works. Eight people per school can qualify to represent a legislator in either the House of Representatives or the Senate Chambers. Being a lobbyist or newsre- _ porter is another option. f Participants qualified a year in advance. In May. the students took part in Discussion. While at Discussion, they went to four rounds to discuss the problem at hand. Using this year's topic of poverty, the members had to write a bill on how to best solve the problem. They were judged on how well they presented their ideas. The following eight Garber students qualified; Senators Wendy Bigaike, Kelli Neering and Brian Way; Representatives Chris Guinn. Joe Zurvalec and Lupe Rios-, and Lobbyist Jeff Robertson. At the state capitol the members spent their busy days in committee meetings. What Is A Debater? JK A debater is a person who gets up at 5 A.M. on Saturdays to travel 200 miles in a van with eleven other people. A debater spends hours researching in college librar ies to fill his briefcases with evidence. A debater uses over 2.000 index cards. 25 glue sticks, tons of legal pads and 37 boxes of paperclips. A debater can be seen wearing a three piece suit or dress while lugging around two briefcases. A debater uses a strange language consisting of words like inherency, solven cy and Plan Meet Advantage. A debater is one who will use his skills in speaking and critical thinking to help make lasting memories and friendships. The team finished their season in a whirl-wind of trophies. Tim Lockwood earned a 1st place trophy at Thum B. The JV's acquired a 3rd place team trophy at Thumb B with Steve Ricker winning 3rd and Michelle Tacey winning 4th place. The varsity obtained 3rd place trophies at Gaylord. Big Rapids Thumb B and Silver Chalice. Wendy Bigalke won 3rd at Thumb B. While at Hamady. Joan Wagner. Kelli Neermg and Bigalke won top speakers. The team finished 14th at state finals. Bigalke was chosen to try for John S. Knight Award. Forensics Gets Catin. K. Hubble. J. Wagner. M. Quasi. J. Runnels. M. Vansumeran. Mih� nm 1 Forensics is a speech activity in- volving a number of students writing and delivering speeches on various to- pics. The season started with the biggest tournament, the Season Opener, held at Garber. At the tournament, over V2 of the team broke to semi-final: Doug Way and Vanessa Holmes for radio; Tim Lockwood for Impromtu; Dan Hoffman, sales; Joan Wagner and Mi- chelle Vansumeran, Oratory; and Dawn Moulthrop, storytelling. Another tournament they attended was at Gaylord where Senior D. Way earned himself a 4th place. The team had an outstanding show of talent at C.M.U. when Garber placed in five different events. D. Hoffman came home with a 2nd place trophy, while Michelle Tacey also earned a 2nd. Other winners were M. Vansu- meran, 3rd; Becky Ulman. 4th; and the mulitple of Rick Gra- bowski, Dennis Spegel and Jamie Lockwood, 4th. At Standish, D. Hoffman and M. Vansumeran both broke to finals. The season ended in a grand manner with the Lilac Festival at Mackinaw Is- land in May. Garber’s entry into the One- Act Play competition this year was University,” put on by Mr. Bird’s Advanced Drama Class. Plays in the competition must run between 30 to 45 minutes, including setting and striking the set. University” marks the 9th time since Garber’s first in 1969 that they've qualified for the State Finals. The plays are ranked from I to 5. University” got a 2 at both state and district levels, missing 2nd place at State by only 14 points. Selected by the student body, the Student Council is a very important part of a school. One of the many goals of this group is to promote school involvement by having activities that stimulate the students’ spirit and leadership abilities. Each of the four class coun- cils are in charge of school fund raisers such as dances and candy sales. These help finance special events and ac- tivities that happen such as the prom and the senior color section in the yearbook that happen throughout the year. Also, the Student Council takes the burden of running homecoming activites. The activities held during Pep Week were designed to pro- mote friendly competition be- tween classes. The bonfire was held to increase school spirit. This year’s council has something different, a team of girls are the first ever to hold the jobs of President and Vice-President for the class.

It is a place for you to continue your education in a more specialized area. While in high school many students are bewildered as to what career they are going to pursue while others have made up their minds as to what they are going to do. The Skill Center is a place for those students who have decided which career they would like to pursue. The Skill Center’s learning atmosphere is a bit different from Garber’s. For starters, you are only in one class for 2 hours and 40 minutes, getting a break at 1:00 pm for approximately 10 or 15 minutes. There also is no bell to tell you when classes start; you are expected to be mature enough to handle getting to class by 12:00. Once in class you are with total strangers and 1 or 2 other students from Garber. The rest of the 12-20 students, you don’t know. By working with the other students and with the help of various clubs and organizations, you come to know them. Some of them you become quite good friends with. The two different clubs at the Skill Center are DECA and VICA. The clubs are designed to enhance skills in your specialized area by competing against people from other schools and states. By being in these clubs, your bound to meet some other new people also. So you see, the Bay Arenac Skill Center is the Choice For A Better Future. It is helping the student who has decided on his her career goal to get a head start on a more refined education. 160 DIAL 893-759'!

After the battle, the 4-0 Dukes rose to 5-0 with a 38-17 victory over the air-born Eagles. Throwing the ball over 40 times indi- cated that the Eagles were, indeed, air-born. Because the Dukes were the best the TVC could produce, the Eagles had to try some- thing very out of the ordinary to win. While they amassed 17 points, the Eagles shook up the Duke's defense somewhat. But, it was incomparable to the great task of beating the proud Garber team. The pass coverage made the proper adjustments to stop the daring arm of Muth's quarterback. Also, with the help of a tough pass rush, the flighty Eagles were soon shot down. This victory set a pleasant stage for the rest of the Homecoming activities. i 172 Kevin leads the introduction of the offense. The Coach and Jim looking on.

The Dance The victorious Homecoming game, where the Dukes defiled the Eagles of Franken- muth, was celebrated with an evening of dancing in a formal setting. The school cafe- teria was decorated with the proud colors of blue and white. Dresses and suits adorned people’s bodies. Flowers were also ex- changed to top the evening off right. With the preparation in place, the 1984 Homecom- ing dance was held on Saturday, October 6. With the disc-jockey R + R Productions, the Dance turned out to be a terriffic success. Couples who wanted to capture the night on film were assisted by Dirla studios. Well over 100 couples took advantage of this op- portunity, as the line was long all night. Rounding out the evening was the court dance and a couple of entertaining break- dancers. Jack Neveau. the center of attraction. Trouble gathers in threes.

Kevin Spencer, and Jody Peplinski The Court There was a lot of anticipation about who would become the 1984 Duke and Dutchess. All of the excitement started with nomina- tions and the elimination vote to see who would become part of the court. After that, anticipation started to grow. Another vote was taken to decide between Brenda Hugo. Jody Peplinski. and Pam Stender for the Dut- chess as well as between Bill Badour. Kevin Spencer, and Barry Kenniston for that of the Duke. Mr. Campeau tabulated the vote and refused to let the cat out of the bag. On the night of the game, anticipation reached a climax as all eyes turned to the court. Each person, waiting for the last mo- ment to pass. Finally, Bill Badour and Brenda Hugo were declared our representatives of the entire student body. Congratulations to each representative. 174 T.

The cast, which gave a smashing performance, included seven seniors and twelve underclassmen.

Donna and Don McCloy 193 But Live Life Forget Not The I know time cures most ailments but there’s a difference. Time goes on, and it will, to believe or not to believe is the question. The answer lies within. The dove is the sign of peace, I wish I could fly with it. To live and to love we must carry on. Life is to hard for many people and only the strong survive, to be strong is to be brave, for the weak and meak must walk a thin line. To dream about something close to your heart can be painful, but memories are very special. Their will always be tomorrow but the past still lies. To follow, to follow the warmest wind may blow. May your wind always be warm. Take the warmest wind into your heart, because you feel that’s the best start. You must let yourself feel your heart and soul, sincerely a heart searching for a warm wind, warmer wind, warmest wind. Beginnings are often marked by ends, yet always we will carry shadows of the past locked in crevices of our minds or captured on paper. The jubilance, the laughter, the excitement shared will never leave us. Like candlelight memories will flicker and flash- The words from a book, moments spent with friends and moments alone. Here, we discovered ourselves- The fragments formed a whole. Look Past Look . . . For The Next Take A Look At Me Now! 196 Memories . .

Greenery from Bay Landscap- ing and a balloon arch helped the decorating commit- tee create the theme, Some- where down the road.” Meanwhile, there were dinner reservations to be made; dresses, coursages, and tick- ets, with water glasses as favors, to be bought; and tuxe- does to be rented. On the evening of the prom, couples dined at various res- taurants and then went on to Delta for the dance. The best rock and roll group in the area, The Amazing Pups, played from nine o’clock to midnight. Dancers had re- freshments in the form of cookies and punch when they took a break from the dance floor. After the prom participants went to various social gath- erings- The only date Brad could get!' ■■ PROM X Graduates Commence Their Future Search, One Looks Back To Future Michelle Bennett (far left) and Kim Budzinski (left) smile knowingly during their final high school steps. Bill Badour ponders if his perm will hold up. Noted author and rabbi Oov Edelstein began the 1985 graduation ceremo- nies with a benediction. What followed was any- thing but totally solemn. Happiness reigned su- preme as the Garber graduates laughed, cheered and clapped as they, one by one, accept- ed their diplomas from Mr. Mark Jaffe. president of the Essexville Board of Education. Setting Sail”, the title of the com- mencement address re- minded the students that their life parallels a sail- boat race. Whether to tack” or come about are deci- sions each person must make when confronted with life’s problems and decisions. Winding up the festivities were the speeches of valedictorian Don Kilgus, waxing philo- sophically sarcastic, and Julie Ann Miller. Taking their cues from Dr. Ryder's address, 1985 Garber graduates exited from their ceremony in an uplifted and rejuvenated mood. That night parties would be held, friends hugged and goodbyes said. Their sailing to a better future began on June 10, 1985 and hopefully their journey will be smooth.

From the elections and medicine to movies and music, the class of ’85 exper ienced an exciting year. In the largest landslide ever. Reagan and Bush defeated Mondale and Ferraro in the presidential race. Debates highlighted the scene as Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to run for the Vice President of the United States. Medical history was made during this year as a baboon’s heart was transplanted into a baby which sparked a heated debate on its immortality. Although it was successful, baby Fae died because of kidney failure. Bill Schoeder set records as his life was saved by the implant of an artificial heart. Music and movies showed us unique Reagan begins his second term. changes during the year. Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy led the successful movie run as sale's records were set. Purple Rain. Amedeus. Ghostbusters. and Gremlins rounded out the block busters in ’85. Music united with film to give the We Are the World video, a successful cam- paign to raise $35 million for Ethio- pian relief. Cindy Lauper. Madon- na. Glen Fry and Phil Collins lammed the record stores with their hot tunes. WRAP UP 301 With the All-Conference crown established for the 1985 season, the Garber Varsity Softball team went forward with pride to set a new school record. This they did as they set a 31-4 overall new record and a 12- 2 T.V.C. record. This year’s team came through with a lot of power as they lived up to the spirit of their theme song, Eye Of The Tiger”. The Garber Gals of 1985 soared to great heights as they brought home a T.V.C. trophy, along with a Class B” District Trophy. They also put forth tremendous effort as they went to Re- gional for the second straight year and took a chance at the State Cham- pionship. Garber's Most Valuable Player award went to the No. I pitcher Tamie Trimble while the Most Improved award went to both Julie VanTol and Julie Rivard.

Softball Hits a 22-8 Record; 8-6 In The Tri-Valley Conference Although Garber had them- selves a young JV Softball team during the 1985 season, they did manage to secure an 8-6 Tri-Val- ley Conference record. This they did with a great deal of effort as the team utilized five pitchers and a suspect defense. Overall the JV Dukettes claimed a 22-8 record as they were 14-2 in non- conference games. Garber’s top pitcher, Tara Thomas, pulled through for the JV’s as she struck out 129 batters and only allowed 41 hits for a 14-4 record. Garber also came through with a .350 team batting average and awarded Missy Dittmer the top slugger as she hit .467.

The J.V.'s bust the ball for a great record. The 1985 varsity baseball team had a very successful season by taking the conference championship for the 5th time in 6 years. The Dukes finished a conference record of 13-1 and an overall record of 26-5. They were rated 2nd in the state for several weeks. In their pre-district game the Dukes were handed a tough loss by Handy by a score of 5- 0. The Dukes could not get a break in the game as Handy stifled a rally by the Dukes in the first inning. Players that performed well for the Dukes were sophomores Mike Dyer, Mike Mon- ville. Jay Williams and Jim VanOoteghem. There will be much more to come from these gentlemen in the future. The two juniors that helped the team to their fine record were Steve Savage and Jim Zacharko. The seniors who will be missed are Mate Jankowski, Bill Tre- panier, Dwight Dufort, Pat Kotewa, and Kevin Spencer. The J.V. team also won the conference for the 3rd straight year. Their combined record was 26-3. Lou and Moose discuss low batting averages. 211 The 1985 boys’ track team put on a powerful exhibition of strength by taking second place at Regionals. Coaches Nesbitt and Cox were proud to send eight runners to the state meet. In competition Tom Ba- dour and Marc Beaudin set meet records in the high jump and 330 low hurdles respec- tively. Also. Greg Wisneski re- set the frosh 3200 meter run record. Advancing to state fin- als was JIM BLOCK. MIKE JOZ- WIAK, JIM ZOLNEREK.

George moved from a vaudeville act called The Four Cohans to running his own company before turning against the Actor’s Equity strike and retiring. A record number crowd sang along to some of George's most popular songs including ’’Give My Regards to Broadway,” You’re a Grand Old Flag,” and Yankee Doodle Dandy.” Due to the quick scene changes and the large amount of tap dancing, George M.” was one of the hardest undertakings of director Pat Ankney. The cast included 38 students featuring, in the lead role of George, Dean Verhaeghe. Giving stunning performances as the other three Cohans were Don Kilgus as Jerry, Sue Jacobs as Nellie and Audra Duprey as Josie. The story started with the birth of George. It then moved to differ- ence highlights and downfalls in his quest for stardom. In 1901, George married, but 3 years later divorced Ethel Levey — played by Chrislee Jacobs — then married Agnes Nolen played by Julie Kramer. George formed his own production company, called Cohan and Harris Co., with Sam Harris, played by the multi-talented Jim Johnson. The total production included a 20 piece orchestra, old time costumes and blinking red, white and blue lights strung across the side stages. K€4IDS TC) €.H.§ Sitting L-R: T. Moore. T. Mohr. G.

The Fantastic Cast Bands Receive 2 At State,- Put On Stirring Show In Concert Garber held its annual band concert on April 24th, at 7:30 pm. The two bands played a va- riety of songs. The concert band featured. The Old Domin- ion March, Royal Procession, Mancini Spectacular and The Chestford Portrait. The sym- phonic band featured The Black Horse Troop, Music for Winds and Percussion, The Free Lance March, Strike up the Band, and Masque. There were also two featured soloists, Debbie Todey on the trombone and Doug Way on the french horn. Both the concert and sym- phonic bands qualified for the State Band Festival. It was the 2nd year in a row for the con- cert band and 6th year in a row for the symphonic band. Both bands played very well and re- ceived two’s, which is the sec- ond highest rating. Congratula- tions to both squads. CDCID SIETS TONE ECD ENID DIP TIDE TEAD ACTIVITIES SC HIEWDEDE DCWN THE DCAID Every year at Garber the art department expresses their im- pressive talents to the school through an art show. This display usually is presented for a few days either on the islands or in the library, as shown this past year. The various talents are seen and looked at by many who stare in awe at the fascinating display of art. Much work is put into the display, not only a couple minutes, a few hours, or even a few days but many weeks. Much time is used, and at first it might not seem to be worth it, but later it appears to be worth every ounce of energy used to create each individual expression of art. Of Art Highlighting the art show were many original presentations. Dave Strachan contributed many creative displays, especially his mythical drawings. Rick West also produced many interesting drawings including the irrespres- sible Mr. Mojo. In case one got hungry there was a hamburger and fries made by Sue Harvey. Being made of sponge made it inedible, however. Another cre- ative display included a ceramic truck created and designed by Mark Rousse. These displays, along with all of the countless others, showed the unique abili- ties of the various talented peo- ple at Garber. Below: The art of tie dye. Left: A ceramic mim. Sizzling In The 222 Summer Sun 324 END Ob THfc YEAR As spring approaches the school year quickly comes 10 an end. Classes start preparing for final exams, and seniors start making their plans for the awaited graduation. Because some seniors, if they fulfill the requirements, are exempt from exams, they watch the underclassmen struggle to remember iust what it was that they learned during the first week of the third semester! Spring fever starts to prevail throughout the school as each stu dent starts making plans for the long awaited summer vacation. Many plans in- clude jobs, summer league softball, vaca- tions. and laying out in the sun. Even dur- ing the lunch hours the summer excite- ment is obvious as people eat their lunch while sitting in the sun or taking time to throw a frisbee around. The fond memo- ries of Rynberg’s calc, tests. Harvey's movies and Sumeriv’s threats linger in the mind as the year winds down.
