Floods ravaged California after a severe drought, and record breaking winds and snowfall paralyzed the Midwest and East Coast. Death claimed several world renowned entertainers — Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Guy Lombardo, Groucho Marx and Charlie Chaplin. Box office hits “Star Wars” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” prompted a renewed interest in science fiction. Television replaced violence with sex. It approached such touchy social issues as homosexuality, transexuality and adultery in the mock soap ope ra “Soap,” and poked fun at mixed living arrangements in the comic series “Three’s Company.” However. . .(continued) =tight: During late summer, Tina ‘figh, Karen Ousley and Donna ' eed spend open lunch across the reet snacking. his Dahan daly ‘5 rt o ood ante ‘! working in the coo o's Be Hensinge - William g ppend Opening 3 th, hist “dresses and shawls: we drove four- The coal strike blackened our wheelers and cycles. . world when mandatory The school board anda group measures switched off street : “Concerned Citizens” —_siights, lowered temperatures, 2 Bhs world with their © — darkened school halls and cut heated disputes over the conditions — off audiovisuals.

Individuals and organizations contributed over $3,000 through donations and special projects. Various school and community clubs set up money making booths. Other activities in- cluded music provided by the high school band, a talent show, All-Star baseball and softball games and swimming and diving competition. A dazzling display of aerial and ground fireworks concluded the day-long festivities. Clouds of black smoke spewed from the Chessie Steam Special as it rolled into Garrett. The event marked the Sesquicen- tennial of the Baltimore and Ohio, the nation’s first rail- road, now a part of the Chessie System. On two separate dates during midsummer, the blue and yellow engine chugged to the local depot hauling 900 railroad buffs. The same locomotive which pulled the American Free- dom Train two years ago puffed along the B Oand C Orail- roads on day-long excursions be- tween Chicago and the East Coast. | With the heat and humidity, | students dashed for the chlo- rine water of the pool.

President signs canal treaty; debate begins § n August a heart attack claimed Elvis Presley. Selling over 500 million records, the bumps and gyrations of Elvis angered parents, but provoked teenagers in the 60’s. As a result of his impact, rock became rebellious. Also in August, pneumonia ended the seven-decade-long career of Julius Henry (Groucho) Marx at 86. Groucho began in vaudeville, starred in several movies and hosted radio and T.V. shows You Bet Your Life. In September, President Carter and Omar Torrijos signed the new Panama Canal treaties, assuring Panama control by 1999 and guaranteeing neutrality of the waterway thereafter. Congress later visited the canal zone and debated ratification of the treaty. the cigar ‘ks of Grouch National Events 9 B illed as the largest antique market in the world and third largest attraction in Indiana, the Auburn Cord Dusenberg Festival drew 2,000,000 people during Labor Day weekend. On the twenty-fifth ACD anniversary, 200 classic Auburns, Cords and Dusenbergs drove into our county seat for visitors to view. The going price of $200,000 bought a Dusenberg with $60,000 for Cords. Young and the young at heart gathered at the DeKalb County Fair to meet friends, partake of cotton candy, and experience upset stomachs. Garrett 4-H’ers Renee Ellert, Diane Morr and Glen Malcom received awards of Senior Showmanship, Grand Champion Lamb and Grand Champion Barrow, respectively. The Miss DeKalb County pageant highlighted the week-long festivities with local girls, Tammi Nierman and Lori Babbitt participating. Tammi won the First Runner-Up title and bathing suit competition. The fair crown went to Joy Zergler of Eastside High School. Under rainy conditions, the band earned themselves a second place in the Grande parade.

The boys’ soccer game stalled shortly after starting because fighting broke out. Mike Nastally, Kyle Flesher, Ron Conrad and John Somers finished their four team-laps first in the running race, and Kyle Flesher took honors in the frisbee toss having the best of his three attempts. The big event, the bike race, capped the afternoon festivities. Started by Mark Krider in the pace car, six four-man teams sped around the track at break- neck speeds. Mike Gillespie, Pete Costin, Tony Creager and Dan McCartney racked up 24 laps in the 30 minute time period to seize the trophy and crown their team candidate, Lori Overy, Queen of the Little 500.

We endlessly awaited the bell for five minutes with friends and sweethearts in the hall. Sometimes we slipped down to the commons from study hall on our rec-reading passes. During the winter, our radios tuned to WMEE, anticipating bad weather. We rejoiced when 13 snow days cancelled classes, but everyone, including teachers, worried when it threatened our spring break. In home economics, shop, business and vocational classes we studied from new books adopted this year. These classes suffered most from the coal shortage. Sewing machines stopped and only gas ovens heated up. Shop classes reverted back to hand tools. The energy crisis forced us to shut off lights, turn down heat and discontinue using audiovisuals. For one week, we came to school at 9 a.m. and left as 2:30 p.m. During that week, teachers beefed-up homework, expecting total shutdown. The office kept discipline cards on 409 of us. We ran up 249 in- school suspensions, 89 out- of-schools during the Journey through our classes. dip ee, eas eee Ms. Roe, Mr. Novy and Mrs. Grogg combined social studies and English with the Junior High.

Unfortun- ately, snow days and the energy crisis cancelled most of the concerts, also affecting band. Two other new faces in the department were Miss Pat Sutherland and Jerry Sigler. Art classes dabbled in pottery, painting, sculpture and clown make-up. Brightly painted fish made by the Junior High hung in the library. When Mr. Earhart left at mid-year, Mr. Mark Ober took over. Fine Arts 27 he year of cancelations cut deeply into the music department, eliminating all but the spring and pops con- certs. The energy crisis pre- vented the opportunity to accompany a group from Ball State University. However, the band did achieve one goal; they accompanied soloist, Joyce Westner, performing Mozart’s Concerto Clarinet. The department grew from 31 last year to 50 students. The marching band performed at home football games, evolving from a Big Ten to a corps style. In other words, they formed designs which reflected the music instead of non- related patterns. The pep band entertained at basketball games and provided such selec- tions as “Rocky” and “Jet” to which the pom pon girls danced. Honors this year included a Second at the DeKalb County fair and a Second Division rating at Band Contest. Eric Dircksen, Tim Griffin and Bettina Yingling participated at State with Betina sweeping First in solo flute. At the hand awards banquet, director Dave Silden named Bettina Yingling the Outstanding Junior Musician. Senior, Mike Steward, won the John Philip Sousa award for music ability and leadership. Jamie Wise and her husband, Larry Stout, entertained at the banquet. Working to develop the Junior High program, the department purchased commercial tapes geared to enhance listening skills.

Plans by the club for an excursion to Mexico fizzled out when students failed to sign up for it. Around Christmas, members took orders from the community for pinatas. Working after school and on Saturdays, the club formed 75 paper mache figures including Mickey Mouse, Santa, a Christmas tree, Rudolph and a bumble bee.

OEA also sponsored the annual semi-formal in the J. E. Ober auditorium. This year’s theme “Songs of Winter” lured couples to dance to the sounds of “Nantucket.” The crowning of Miss OFA, Teresa Burniston, highlighted the evening. The club adopted several civic projects.

OEA offered special services, such as the breakfast for the varsity and reserve basketball players, preparing eggs, sweet rolls, sausage, milk and juice. They rocked 12 hours netting $1200 for the Special Olympics Rock-a-Thon, and organized both Halloween and Easter parties for the Wee Haven school. To raise money, the girls sold stationery, cards and cal- endars from Current Products. They worked the coat check at home basketball games and held one bake sale. At the FFA booth during fair time, they accepted donations, drawing two names to receive hanging plants. The big bread winner proved to be the annual Superstars com- petition. It brought in over $400 which sent members to the State contest.

Lettermen co-sponsored the autumn hayride open to the en- tire school. Up to 250 students rode the six wagons to the old gym for a hot dog roast and dance. The 80 dollars profit and money from button sales during Sec- tional week bought a sprayer for the football field and a display case located in the commons.

To make money, staffers ad- vertised local businesses, sold homemade ice cream at the Little 500 and sponsored a spaghetti dinner, helped by James Herzer.

Aeolian staff encounters hardships Despite missed deadlines, a broken camera and lost pictures, eight students managed to put together a yearbook. Located in the library, editors Denise Brown and Barb Hillegass and the others worked without credit during sixth period. Problems arose when the camera broke early in the fall and mem- bers fell short of their $3600 advertising goal. The snow days and coal shor- tage forced meetings at the home of first year adviser, Miss Leslie Wise; however, the staff failed to meet the March dead- line by 115 pages. Another spring ad drive brought in $1600, nearing the goal. Staffer, Greg Langfeldt, sold over a thousand dollars worth, but by the close of school, half of the book remained undone At that point, the staff was forced to drop 24 pages.

Miss Peggy lenatz serves as new cheerleader adviser Ni ae _ sophomore: Peavler a ast summer I attended my first cheerleading camp when the varsity went to Purdue for a week. I had fun, but I felt out of place. For one thing, we were from a small school and the only squad from our area, except for Carroll. The other squads came from big cities. They all knew each other becau se they competed against each other during the season. When football season opened, the five of us didn’t know each other or how to act around each other at first. It was rough for a while. As things got better, we were like best friends and could tell each other our problems.

I think it’s because we are the only team that stays together all year long. We sponsored several money making projects so we could do something special for each sport. The teams really appreciated it. We also sold gumdrops this year to pay for new uniforms. We bought cardigan styled sweaters in maroon with matching slacks. The Reserves got similar outfits in royal blue. My most memorable game was against DeKalb in football. The morning of the game the varsity and reserve squads ate breakfast at McDonalds in Auburn. We told everyone we saw that Garrett was going to win. Even though DeKalb defeated us by one point, the fans cheered and were really great.

When radio station WMEE named us Team of the Week for our Bluffton victory, we waited long after the final game to receive the trophy. he season opened against Comumbia City, and the game was close throughout. The score was 20-15 in their favor. With three minutes left in the game, we had the ball on the Eagles’ 10 yard line. This was a good opportunity for us to win, but penalties and mental mistakes forced us 1o give up the ball. Our second game was at home with the Carroll Chargers. Carroll was a highly rated team. At the end of the first half, we were trailing by two points. The Chargers, with their speed and quickness, just seemed to overpower us. In the fourth quarter alone they rushed for 198 yards. Coming off a terrible loss, the team fired up for East Noble. The Knights were undefeated and this was a conference game. This was one of our best games. We were leading 6-0 at halftime. East Noble’s first score came in the third quarter. With a chance to take the lead, the Knights missed the extra point and when regulation time ran out, the score was 6-6. We got the ball first in overtime. With four downs to score from the 10 yard line, their defense played tough, as we could not score. When East Noble got the ball with third down and four yards to go, they scored and won. The fourth game was against Bluffton and we were really hungry for a win. The combination of playing good defense and good offense gave us our first victory. The Angola game was a very physical one. Both teams seemed evenly matched. Angola proved to be a little better than we were, winning by three points. th Ling 60 Varsity Football Rich King, Kyle Flescher and Roger Getts fire up before kickoff against Angola during Homecoming.

Scoreboard Garrett Opponent Columbia City 0 Carroll East Noble Bluffton Angola Leo Lakeland DeKalb South Adams Woodland here were 33 guys out for football, which makes a pretty good squad. I went out because football is my favorite sport. All the guys liked the coaches and loved playing football. That’s why there were so many of us. The coaches were great and put up with a lot of screwing around. The team spirit was good because of the enthusiasm and support of the crowd and cheerleaders. I think the loss of pep sessions really hurt the team because they boosted morale and most of us got into them. The Leo game was the downfall of the season. The guys were really down and stayed down the whole game. Nothing seemed to work and everybody was fighting. The Leo game really shook us up and brought us out of our slump because for the rest of the season we played great. We beat Lakeland, and Randy Mosley had a really Ignoring the South Adams defense, Kim Payton drives toward the goal. super game that night with a 90 yard kick- off return for a touchdown.

The ball was on the five yard line and DeKalb ran up the middle to tie it up, 20-20. Then they made the extra point and won the game 21-20. This game really got the Seniors down, but they got up for South Adams and Woodland. The power sweep was one of the best plays we had this year, and we gained yardage with it most of the time.

First with the ball, the Knights fumbled on their own five yard line. Bob Isham picked up the ball and sprinted 95 yards for the touchdown. Next, the team suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Angola. Garrett’s only score came when Gregg Grubb ran back a kick. Starting the year as a split end, Craig Hutton later called the plays for the JV’s. The defense steadily improved and peaked against DeKalb. Gregg Grubb and Rick Yarian divided the season between both varsity and reserve teams.

We welcomed two new coaches who were the , first to ever teach us set plays. Along with the new Strategies, we conditioned our minds and bodies and relearned the basics. Our plays kept us low and always moving, psyching out the opponent. We had a predetermined setter and spikers. The play began with a high bump directly to the setter. The high set positioned the ball close to the net so the spiker could drive it hard at the opponent. Coach Peters drilled us till we mastered the bump-set-spike play. It really paid off at conference time when we beat Bluffton 15-12, 10-15, 16-14. This was the first time Garrett won their opening match of a tournament.

Our victory over the Eagles put us one step closer to the finals and also put us face-to- face with Angola. Angola had defeated us earlier in the season.

This was the first time since 1974 that a Garrett team won the opening game of a season. Next we took a highly respected Fort Wayne Snider team into double overtime. Both team and fans sensed an upset; but we failed to score in the overtime, and Snider clinched it with a bucket in the final moments. West Noble supplied us with our first home victory as Winans scored a career high 26 points. With our record at 2-1, we thought it might turn out to be a great season. The idea went to our heads. The team became over confident and cocky. Our next two contests ended with disappointing losses, coming at the hands of South Adams and our arch rival, DeKalb. The DeKalb defeat was a letdown.

As was the case most of the year, we allowed the Barons a comfortable lead before we attempted a comeback in the last quarter. Pulling within one point, we lost the ball. Our error fired up DeKalb to take the game. Defeated by Carroll in a turnover-plagued game, we drew a noticeably smaller crowd against Bluffton. Yet, we managed a satisfying win over the Tigers with high scorer, Andy Herzer, earning 20 points. An embarrassing loss to a winless New Haven club inspired the team for an exciting and well played game at Columbia City. We took a quick lead and were up by seven at halftime.

They ranked tenth in the state and were the top team in the area. Even though they beat us, it was not a strong victory. Considering Snider was a Senior dominated ball club, our boys realized they could play anybody.” The inexperience of Garrett’s boys proved an asset as enthusiasm swelled.

The Seventh grade A team played their most memorable game against Perry Hill. Remarkable rebounding and aggressive ball handling decided the game for them. The high point of the season for the B team came against Hamilton. The boys displayed excellent defense and everyone drove to the basket to score. Coach Porter bragged about the attitude and academic accomplishments of his teams. He said they became quite competitive toward the end of the season. The Eighth grade suffered from teamwork problems, but Coach Boyd mentioned several notable players. Dave Nuttle proved to be the high scorer. He established himself as seventh highest scorer in the conference tourney. The coach named Gerald Kline and Ed Jarrett as most improved and most promising players.

Harold Custer, Secretar Plans, bids accepted; building program: to be or not to be In a special meeting last Sep- tember, the School Board officially resolved to form a holding corpor- ation. Later in November, the state issued project number 7226 and the building program was under way, but not without problems. When the meeting with the archi- tects in October fell short of the required 48 hours notice, the Concerned Citizens filed suit, declaring the School Board in vio- lation of the Sunshine Law. The Steuben County court served an injunction, stating that the Board should not repeat the error. The decisions of the meeting in ques- tion were remade publicly later in November. After input from the community and teachers, the Board approved the plans in December. Receiving state approval in January, the Board established a timetable and accepted bids. When all bids were in, the budget had been over- extended from 2.3 to 2.5 million. The School Board elected to keep the higher figure in the best in- terest of the total program. Mr. Paul L.

a colophon? A colo- phon talks to you, the reader. It explains how the yearbook 1s made. For example, 16 pages are grouped in a signature. Each side of the signature is called a flat. The front flat of the first 16 pages includes 1, 4 5, 8 9, 12 13, 16. You'll notice that the color pages in our book appear on a back flat: 2 3, 6 7, 10 11, 14 15. The name of the print we selected is Bodoni Book. You see this style of lettering every day on People, Better Homes and Gardens, Newsweek and National Geographics magazines. It’s also the same family of type used in certain Ford advertising. Our headlines are size 24 point. A point 1s about as thick as a library book card. Put 12 points together and you get the height of our body copy. Most captions are 10 points. Any other lettering, done by Sarah Smith or our adviser, Miss Wise, was freehand. It follows contemporary or compu- ter style, in keeping with our theme. Our theme originated in the wake of the movie “Star Wars,” a science fiction. We drew from the posters the four-pointed star repeated throughout our pages. Taylor Publishing Company, located in Dallas, Texas, printed all 650 copies of the Aeolian at approximately 11 dollars per book. We thank you, the 600 or so students and teachers, who subscribed at $6.50 per copy. We greatly appreciate our advertising COLOPHON et patrons who make up the finan- cial differences. N Figure it for yourself: ‘ $11 - 6.50= $4.50. Then mul- tiply $4.50 (per copy) X 650 oo copies = $2925. This does not a include the cost of film and 4 processing, another $1000. We hope you stop and patronize the ¥F local businesses who advertise in your yearbook. ge: A colophon also acknowledges Es people outside of the staff who é have contributed. We thank Blaine Feightner of Prestige Portraits for taking Senior and } underclass pictures.
