NOW WASN 'T TUA T FUN!!! (Disclaimer: The Garber yearbook staff cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by reading this annual backwards. To prevent any undue stress and mental duress, turn to the back cover and proceed forward, which is actually backwards — get it? Having fun yet?) A THIS: IS OUTRAGEOUS! JuS Oka You When I heard the news I felt I had no place to run and nothing left to do. I just can't understand why this has happened and I don't want it to be true. 1 wish I could change this bad news because 1 feel so empty and confused. You were always there for me And I never imagined you wouldn't be. I wish you wouldn't have left this world today but all that I can do is hope and pray that now you're Okay I just want you to know that I love you a whole bunch and my heart feels so hollow now because I miss you so much. Everyday you had a smile on your face and in my heart you can never be replaced. I just want you to know Howie Hahn, that there is only one you Which makes this whole poem so special and true. — Kelly Walraven 11-19-86 U Mewrttf Of ft.

PAGE 171 Cheerleading Shelly VanNatter, the Duke above, fires the crowd in a Fires Up A Fall Spectacular Cheerleaders — the word conjours up an image in everyone's mind. Whether it is a positive or a negative one may be debatable. Are they there as a figure- head to lead cheers, as the name sug- gests? Are they a liason between the team and the crowd? Are they members of a sport, in which case they separate from leading cheers and thus perform? Regardless of your definition the cheerleaders at Garber embody the spir- it of hard work and fortitude. In the fall they braved the same conditions as the footall players to perform for the crowd. Their work started long into the summer as they went to camp to perfect their manuevers and lasted all fall. Their Garber Spirit was evident in posters, locker hangings and pep assemblies. All the hours paid great dividends in wins. All squads watch over the events they arrange at the annual pep assemblies. Cheerleaders enjoy a fun time in their dorm room, and then live it up during pep week. GARBER RAPE After winning the right to par- ticipate in the Student Congress back in May of 1986, Garber's senators and representatives took the trip to Lansing to partic- ipate in the 1986 Student Con- gress, a day set aside to give stu- dents a first hand look at the workings of a congressional day. Competitions were held to deter- mine roles which the students WITH REPE would take; senators, represen- tatives, even Speaker of the House. The Garber contingent fared well and helped draw up bills and vote on critical issues. Who knows — someday we may be saying hello to Senator Joe Zur- valec or Representative Mark Ludwig. WMMMMMI Garber's Dimension, a bi-weekly publication published by Mr. Floods Journalism class, experi- enced a banner year in 1986-1987 as they brought much depth and perception to the issues critical to Garber. Their Fool of the Month'' fea- ture became a favorite of the students at Garber. In the seventeen issues the student reporters dug into movies, music, sports and policies. The Dimension also had many valuable editorials that helped students to understand some of the strange things at Garber. BOTTOM L-R: J. Mantei, C. Pfundt, A. Davis, S. Ricker; SECOHD ROW: A.

Ludwig So, You Want Someone The book didn't turn out like YOU wanted. You’re not outrageous — your’re not fun at all — you're not into school at all (what?) — You’re not in the book 100 times. Well, the sedate, normal people pictured below are responsible for this production. Why should these students be responsible for portraying outrageousness in a yearbook? After all. the world itself is not outrageous enough — or is it? Is it outrageous to give arms to Iran, the country who captured and held American hostages for over 400 days? Is it outrageous to see both baseball and football champions come from (heaven help us) New York, one of the most civilized places in America? Is it outrageous to believe they not only let the Beastie Boys out in public, but put them on the Grammies as well? Is it outrageous that Nature saw to it that nearly everyone in Bay County had an instant swimming pool in their basement? Is it outrageous that someone could create a patriotic story where the title is spelled Amerika? You see. we got the idea from you!

A week in March was set aside to make students aware of the opportunities and advan- tages of other cultures. Aside from the displays in the hall and library, students also went on excursions to Spain and Greektown in Detroit. While in Detroit they visited Trapper's Alley, well known for its varied ethnic cuisine. Culinary dishes from Greece, Italy, Ethiopia, and Trance were awaiting the students. A performance in Flint featuring Spanish dancing was also on the itinerary. A sec- ond language is nearly a prerequisite to survival in foreign countries. Perhaps we could learn something from this.

The student council put together one of the most spirited homecomings. This year's student council consists of true politicians not just Kids because they took a retreat up north to Higgin s Lake with free food and fun, but also because they've worked and planned to make this year a success. The retreat included two full days of planning seminars and a Saturday night bonfire including a really fun sing along and the Monkees' walk. The guys met in the strangest places at camp.

Skill center classes are substituted for three Garber classroom hours, and include everything from Horticulture to hurses Training to Mechanics, all created with the best interests of students in mind. Along with gaining knowledge for their future occupations, Garber students get a chance to meet students from oth- er schools that have similar inter- ests, which combines for an aca- demic and social atmosphere.

Font Mm U Fifteto, Yea u Debate underwent a hap- pening which was as unex- pected as the flood in Sep- tember. it missed qual- ifying for the state finals for the first time in fifteen years. This may sound like it represented a poor sea- son. Further from the truth this could not be. Garber won the Tri-Valley Conference again and placed first or second in a number of tournaments. Seniors Mark Ludwig, Brian Way and Joe Zurvalec led the way. Indeed, unsung heroes they are, it seems no-one notices until some- thing breaks. This year, al- though not state-caliber, was once again indicative of Garber's prowess aca- demically as well as athleti- cally. Debate 156 Back Row L-R, J. Jeczmionka, B. Wiehl, J. Berthiume, M.

During Christmas they sang in numerous benefits. The Elks, rest homes, and school. They participated in the benefit for Miss Michigan and put on an end of the year concert to the elementary graders. Garber sing- ers, a younger version of the Varsity choir, is a group often overshad- owed by the brilliance of the choir. However, these young proteges work hard perfecting their routines, so that they may someday move up a notch.

These musicians can be found firing up the crowd at a pep rally, playing before a packed house at a football or basketball game, parading during homecoming, and pumping everyone up at the bonfire. They are, indeed, masters of their crafts as they play everything from classical to rock, jazz to blues. The year culminates with a normally successful trip to state competition.

Gcutbm CJmjMi Fout Duttict Garber's 1987 Varsity Volleyball team proved to be the school's best team produced when it brought home the first district title ever. This event came after a season of fun-filled tri- umphs. A few of the finest displays came at tournaments, one of which Garber placed 6th among the company of fourteen teams ranked in the state. At the annual Garber Invitational, which included five ranked squads, the Du- kettes second place finish was highlighted by the most exciting, intense match of the year — a come from behind victory over the EPBP Lak- ers. Other highlights included giving Birch Run its only loss in the conference, and teaching Hemlock a little bit about revenge by beating them the second time around and in districts. The Dukes finished second in the conference with a 10-4 mark and a 26-13-3 record overall, however, this record didn't do the team justice, for their talents would suggest a better one. Their dominance was best shown in the ree- gionai game with Pinconning. The Dukes ac- complished the win in two games, and then lost in state. Honorable Mention All-Conference honors were given to Tammy Taylor and Lisa Anderson, wguke Kay Me Hally and Lori Pior- kowski were named to the first team. Both McHally and Piorkowski were named to the All- Region team, then McHally went on to be named Honorable Mention All-State and Pior- kowskil, 2nd team.

The team fielded only eight girls: two seniors, three juniors, two sopho- mores, and one freshman. Overcoming inju- ries, the difficulty of having a new coach, and inexperience the Dukes still pulled off some exciting games. At the John Qlenn Invitation- al they beat Qlenn by one point in over-time after coming back from a fifteen point deficit going into the fourth quarter. Defeating West- ern was their second big thrill as the team pulled off an excellent stall game. Finishing the season at 6-14 the team also had a few outstanding individual perfor- mances. Tammy Taylor and Lori Piorkowski made Honorable Mention All-Conference. Torre Hubert and Jill Revard were named most Improved Players, while Piorkowski re- ceived the Most Valuable Award. , Hopefully with the new program being start- ed and the experience gained, the Dukes will fare better next year. o Top row L. to R.: J.

Along the way they captured the third place trophy at the Pinconning Invita- tional and had their best performance ever at the Oscoda meet where they were fifth. A great deal of their success can be attributed to the outstanding se- nior leadership shown by Darren Pettis, Kevin Irish, Keith Brooks, and Steve Adamowski Brooks, Trish, and Jeremy Jacobs were county champs. Irish and Jacobs were also named conference champs. Enroute to his 100th varsity victory, Irish qualified for regionals (along with Pettis) and finally for state.

Qolf team at Garber had a very short and very wet season. They were forced to cancel most of their matches be- cause of the terrible flood that oc- cured in September. Due to this un- usual season, the squad was only able to play five-man matches, so many of the players were unable to play more than two matches. The team did very well under these ad- verse conditions and were able to win the Bay County Championship, come in second in the regionals, and finish fifteenth in the state. Special honors went to Randy Roth, Jeff Toeppner, and Steve Toeppner who were named to the first team All-Conference. Brett Hu- bert and Dave Budzinski were named to the All-County team. Capping this fine season, the Dukes took the Tri-Valley Champi- onship. The best part is that 3 of the state finalists return, boding well for the future. I Hj 1 v , - J ilL' . rii fc.

The little Dukes then hit rock bottom by dropping a game to Bull- ock Creek 14-0, and losing a tough, hard fought game to Birch Run, 6-2. The Frosh managed to scrape up a tie with Frankenmuth, 6-6. As the tail spin con- tinued, the Dukes dropped their last 3 contests to a talented Hemlock squad 54-14. Pinconning, 16-14, and Eisenhow- er, 36-13, completed the six-game win- less streak in a season that started very promising. Hoping to rebound next year, the squad will be led by leading rusher, Paul navarre, and leading tackier, John Galbraith. 2-5-1 The Duke line tries to make some run- ning room for their teammates.

The Sophs sprinted out of the gate with con- secutive victories over Caro, 34-14 and Millington, 35-0. A slight slump hit the squad with two straight losses, the sec- ond one a wild and nearly unbelievable 28-24 loss to Bullock Creek. Injuries plagued the J.V.'s, but heart was all they needed to defeat a tough Birch Run team, 20-8. Then, the team set up home- coming with a 33-7 thrashing over Fran- kenmuth. They then came home to face an undefeated Hemlock team who proved just too much in a 20-12 defeat. The team then proceeded to ride like the wind with very impressive victories over Carrollton, 37-0 and Eisenhower, 45-0. The J.V. team scored a whopping 254 points during the year led by sensational tailback Terry Swihart, who led all scor- ers with 16 tds. 1087 yards, and 2 pats for 100 points. Bobby Kribs also chipped in with 10 tds and 759. Kribs was also the leader in tackles with 83 followed closely by Keith Richer, 82, and Kurt Jacobs, 68.

Consider these games. A 14 0 victory over Millington, a bottom echelon team, the miracle game of 86 — a 17 to 16 thriller over Swan Valley on a field goal in the final minute; a convinc- ing 21 -6 romp over co-champs Birch Run, a 7-0 win over Frankcnmuth, who threat- ened all game to break Garber's win streak; and a 15-0 shut-out of Eisenhow- er. These were all very close, exciting games that could possibly have gone the other way. A miracle that Garber lost to Car- rollton 11-8 in overtime and still made it to the playoffs. A miracle that Chesaning had to forfeit one of their games allowing the Dukes to make the fourth playoff spot. And the biggest miracle of all — that Garber didn't beat Alma, as they went down 7-3 to the Panthers. Consider the statistics from the game. Garber s ground assault grinded out 17 first downs with 236 yards to Alma s 6 first downs and 114 yards, more than a 2 to 1 advantage for the Dukes. The aerial show indicated a balanced Garber attack as they went for 58 yards to Alma s 15. Six of Garger's rushers went into double figures as Jay Williams led the way with 65 yards. Seven Duke defenders received 4 or more tackles, so not only was the dominance shown, it was spread around. A balanced assault of this kind usually means victory. However. Garber also led in the mistake deaprtment. committing 5 turnovers to Alma s two. Twice they were inside the Panthers 5 yard line, tw'icc they were stopped. Another two times they were inside the 10 yard line. All they could manage was one field goal. It was a miracle season, ending miraculously. The Dukes controlled and engineered eight victories, and when it came time to own a team. Garber even did that, controlling its own defeat. m Football Playoff 118 Dukei 0 Dwei Te m hdcr DivUUmai Picujoffl The 1986 Garber High Football team went 6-1 in the conference, and 8-2 overall which included a playoff loss to Alma.

ATHL ETICS EXCEL STUDENTS: AND STAFF LENCE Among Top Ten Garber high School showed pride, excellence, and consistency as it was recognized as one of the top ten schools in the state. The first step in determining the nominees was a re- port done by Garber faculty answer- ing many questions about education- al goals, rewards for students and teachers, teacher effectiveness, cur- riculum, and community support. Many long, hard hours of work were put in by Mr. riarfst, Mr. Sumerix, Mr. Winters. Mr. Simon. Mrs. Timm, and Miss Ankney. Their combined efforts and willingness to perfect their work enable Garber to be chosen as a po- tential exemplary school. Then a committee of educational officials came to Garber to interview students and teachers at random and to examine other details such as cleanliness and morale of students. Because of the consistency of excel- lence. Garber achieved the maximum number of points available, assuring its place among top ten schools.

The audi- ence was left to decide on Hovem- ber 21 and 22 in Garber's Auditorium. The timeliness of the play was unfortunately apparent in light of a tragedy at Garber. Hope- fully, the play shed a little light into a dark comer for the rest of us. SCHOOL PRESENTS When you look in your mirror, who really looks back at you?

Overall they were twelfth in the state. The cast of this year's one act play. The Wizard of Oz. went up against some stiff competition, and still brought home some of the highest honors in Garber's history. Brennan Johnson, who played the Tinman, and Jill Goniwicha- ,who played the Wicked Witch of the West, received awards of excellence. An excellent rating was also given for the make-up crew. After all of the competition was done, the whole gang, munchkins and all, put the show on for all of the children from the elementary schools.

After a week long celebration, Garber's football team, undefeated and built to stay that way, took the field against an out- manned Frankenmuth squad, who was ex- periencing a down year. Prospects looked good, but someone forgot to tell the Ea- gles' defense about Garber's might. As a 7-0 score might indicate, defense was the key. At every turn Frankenmuth foiled the Dukes' efforts. Finally, Darren Pettis found the end-zone for the only offensive thrust in the game. Despite the bruising, ugly scene on the field, the happenings off were strikingly pleasing. The pep assembly began the day right as members of the football team got the chance to make-out right in front of the student body. They rated their partners (their mothers) while the school roared with delight. The shoe throw was next as a group from each class had to find and tie their shoes in order to win. Mr. Sumerix, a good-natured G painted on his head, joined in the fun to the total pleasure of the student body. The juniors won the spirit jug as the gym rocked with spirit. The fun continued to halftime as Alison Sarkozy and Jay Williams were knighted Duchess and Duke for 1986. The denou- ment of the week's events came Saturday night as Garber danced Homecoming '86 into the history books.

Friends showed fiery feelings which will last long after Garber has said goodbye to them. The good attitude lasted all week and was rekindled with the parade on Friday. Owing a lot of thanks to the movie Animal house, the seniors walked away with the float competition, as no one else was even in their class.

It began Tuesday with the pie-eating contest, won by Gary Jacobs, and the limbo competition, as Jeremy Jacobs showed how low he could go. Wednesday found the spectators rooting on Gary Hewitt as he chowed down pickles to the delight of the onlookers. The biggest event came Thursday when Jeff Brennan, Mike Dyer, Pat Piaumes, and Mark Sanders won the lip-synch contest. This fol- lowed the for mature audiences only ' show put on by Kevin Discher and Ladd Doane, which subsequently got them disqualified. Fri- day became the real sleeper of all events as the competition was fierce. Mark Schaefer chugged, belched and burped his way to vic- tory in the coke-chug. If, indeed, the clothes make the man,” Qarber has some severely crippled creatures crawling its halls. All done in fun, however, the dress-up days were a huge success, culminat- ing with Friday's blue white day, where a vast proportion of students wore their heart and spirit on their sleeves. Zany?

Me broad- ened his horizons watching the fall play and the debate team become the fabu- lous enterprises that they were. He inspired the re-creation of the pep club, which added members all year long. The work he started in the fall con tinued into the winter as the boys' bas ketball and girls' volleyball teams en joyed success after success, piling up points toward another All-sport confer ence championship. At no time, however, was his presence felt like the five days leading up tc} homecoming. Painted faces, spirit jugs floats, pep assemblies, special dress days, and motorcycles were all included in his master plan — to fire Garber up. The work was done, the plan carried out and even now one still feels the Invisible Touch of Garber Spirit. tfdrber Page 20 Tourney Tapi Tablh TemU TaJ aU ' here it comes; now what do I do?” War between faculty and students in the final round of doubles.

Excite- ment filled the tense gym as it took overtime to decide the champion. Gene Kramer. The new rage sweeping the student body is ping pong. Yes, the sport is as demanding as chess, as precise as ar- chery, and as exacting as bowling. Be- ing played on a miniature tennis court with a net of six inches certainly re- quires the participants to play with con- trolled aggression. This determination came to the fore- front during homecoming week as the inaugural table tennis tournament was The doubles' competition was fero- cious as males and females competed equally for the coveted crown. In the end the team of Kramer Josh Biggs de- feated Harfst tlages. As the intensity level lessened, the non-tournament playing increased. The game draws well, and tables must be secured early in order to get a match in. This is certainly one sport where the competition is spelled F-U-N.

You have no homework; you are beginning to rejoice; then the teacher utters the two most dreaded words in the English lan- guage, Due Monday ! A weekend is shot. How dare she assign a theme on the week- end! You fret and simmer about it, then drag yourself home. Instead of a bounce to your step, a heavy paper weight is attached to your mood. 'Doesn't she know that there's a game and dance tonight? I've got to cut the lawn, rake the leaves and go to see my brother at col- lege tomorrow. A show, a date and dinner wrap up Saturday. All day Saturday you brood about the impending doom. You snap at everyone because they should feel as miserable as you. Your night out becomes a disaster because your date wanted to have a good time. Nolet Road holds no meaning for you. Sunday — widely thought of as a day of rest. Scoff, scofF' you say. After dragging yourself out of bed at 9:30, an ungodly hour, you proceed to get ready for church while your parents scream, Hurry up! An hour slloowwllyy drifts by and you're home again. A bite to eat, then relatives drop by and must be entertained. You don't have time for your hobby, parasailing, because of that. So, you eat dinner. The plates washed and dried, you sit down, firmly resolved to write that theme. Just then . . . The phone rings. Three hours drift by, and you're beat; but it's only 10 p.m., and you can certainly knock off this paper quickly. You start writing, but Van Halen comes on the radio. This makes you think of the con- cert you went to, so you write your sweet- heart a letter. 11:30 appears, and you fall asleep. You go to class, prepared for the great humiliation that accompanies work not done only to find out you're the only one in class that didn't know it was due next Mon- day.
