He may not hold the thrill that others do, But just because he’s genuine and true, Like some fine masterpiece beyond compare, When all the rest are gone, he'll still be there. Yes, some friends are a lot like favorite books; They don’t depend upon their fame or looks. It’s what’s inside — their deeper basic worth — That makes us hold some friends the best on earth. : Helen Lowrie Marshall ; | ' pu a ams ANAS EE IGHT—Dave Nuttle arrives early at school to curl Steve Lepley’s hair. | BOVE—Jose Valdivieso and Phil Evers discuss today’s lunch menu. All-School play proves ‘You can't take What do pet snakes, a xylophone, fireworks, a drunk actress, ballet, and insanity have in common? Absolutely nothing, except they were all part of the daily lives of the Vanderholf family. Despite many setbacks during the course of their schedule, the G.H.S. Thespian Troupe put on their production of ‘‘You Can’t Take It With You.” The play takes place in the home of Martin Vanderholf, an aged man who one day thirty-five years ago, decided to quit his job because he ‘‘wasn’‘t having any fun.’‘ The members of the household include Penny, who writes plays because one day a typewriter was delivered to her house by accident, Ed Carmichael, who has the habit of UPPER RIGHT—Tony (Phillip Tschebykin) and Alice (Susan Dudash) say one final goodbye before Tony leaves.

NON-MUSICAL PLAY 19 All-school cast presents ‘Little Mary Sunshine’ When “‘Little Mary Sunshine”’ opened at the Orpheum Theatre in New York in 1959, it made this ‘‘new musical about an old operetta,’ the surprise hit of the season. In the operetta, good meant good, bad meant bad, and wide eyed innocence following close behind. In the GHS production, the plot, characters, and music are simple and direct. As the show progresses the obvious spoofing of the operetta’s simpleness is evident. The story, set high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the Colorado Inn, begins as Little Mary Sunshine convinces her adopted father (Chief Brown Bear) to send his grievances over a land dispute to Washington to be settled by law rather than tomahawk. Meanwhile, Little Mary is about to lose her Inn because she can’t meet her mortgage payments. During this time, Capt. Jim Warington and his rangers have been sent on a secret mission to capture a notorious band of Indians. The same afternoon, Billy and Nancy discuss their former relationship while the young ladies arrive from Eastchester Finishing School in the east. As the saga unfolds all the characters become actively involved in the many trials and tribulations of the fast moving events. The show ends on a happy note as all the problems of the characters finally become resolved. TOP RIGHT—Susan Dudash explains how the Mata Hari gets her information.

Shorthand and notehand students learned how to take notes quickly in any situation and transcribe them for use. Accounting students were taught how to keep books for small companies, while advanced accounting students learned about partnership and corporation accounting. The business classes helped the students prepare for college classes or a job after graduation, as well as helping them in their other classes. BUSINESS 27 Fine arts students set, reach high goals The Fine Arts Department at GHS this year has established a new level of achievement for future years. The choirs were involved in many solo and group activities which went to contest and placed at a high level of competition. Choir students have had exposure to all styles of music from jazz, vocal and pop to classical music. Thanks to dedicated Miss Margaret Buttermore, the choirs are greatly improving over the years. In the art field, the students are becoming more involved and really producing nice work. Art students, throughout the year learn how to sculpture, paint and draw the hard way. An art exhibit was a major event which most art students participated. The drama end of the Fine Arts Department put on the productions ‘‘Inherit the Wind’’ and ‘Little Mary Sunshine’’ which the student body enjoyed.

Jeanette Hunter Adviser Mrs. Bonnie Miles —— 50s dance adds spirit to Aeolian The Aeolian Staff, headed by Advisor Jane Ludlum, Editor Lisa Lepley and Assistant Editor Beth Van Zile, tackled the hard job of putting together a book which records the activities and memories of one school year. The year began with the actual selling of the book. Other money-making projects were the sale of sour-ball candies and a 50s dance. The dance was a first-ever for GHS where the students dressed in poodle skirts and letter sweaters and bebopped to Elvis. Doug Gilliland, Craig Hutton, Ron Conrad and Nate Hoeffel DJ’d the dance and set the mood with their antics. As every year, ad sales were the biggest source of income. A team of Beth Van Zile, Linda Scott, Lisa Lepley, Todd Piety, Ron Wilcoxson, Brenda Jones, Linda Reed, Diane Morr, Jini Ricketts, Pam Smock, Debbie Atkinson, Ed Jarrett, Arlene Elberson, Theresa Lantz, Shelly Dunham, Cheri Hutton, Della Zolman and Tonya Gradeless canvased Garrett, Auburn and surrounding areas selling lots of ads. The actual making of the book started with choosing a cover and a theme. ‘Remembering 1981’ was decided on as a theme and a maroon textured cover was chosen. The division pages were to have a collage of pictures from that particular section on the left side and one large picture with an 81 init on the right side. The lettering and art work were done by Todd Piety. Linda Scott, head of ads design, creatively put together a sharp looking ads section using shadow boxes for a look different than previous years. The yearbook’s clear and original photographs were taken by Lisa Lepley and Ed Jarrett. Layouts, typing, story writing and indexing were done by Theresa Lantz, Shelly Dunham, Cheri Hutton, Diane Morr, Cathy Hutton, Andrea Kelham, Ron Wilcoxson, Melanie Diederich, Beth Van Zile, Lisa Lepley and Mrs. Miles’ sixth period journalism class. Members of the staff would like to thank everyone who contributed by doing the many tedious jobs that must be done on a yearbook staff. A special thanks also goes out to the ‘people’ in our People Section who put up with the various disturbances throughout the year. FRONT ROW—Chery!

Their work began early in the summer as the marching unit of the Railroader band began preparing for the NISBOVA marching contest. A second division rating was awarded to the Railroaders for their efforts. The marching squad also participated in the East Noble invitational where they represented GHS well. As football season drew to a close, concert band began work on their annual Christmas concert where they ‘brought the true Christmas spirit to life,’’ according to viewers seeing the concert. Pep band pumped adrenalin into GHS sports fans at each home basketball game and added a special spark at the pep sessions prior to the girls’ basketball team advancing to Semi-State competition. GHS musicians’ reputation grew as several individuals from within the band participated and placed at NISBOVA solo-ensemble competition in February.

BAND 93 GHS choirs represent school well In their usual respective manner, the Garrett High School Choirs represented GHS. Concert Choir enthused its audiences everywhere with the greater complexity of music that they performed in their two annual concerts. Chuck Zolman and Tammi Chittenden highlighted the Christmas concert by performing in duet style ‘Winter Wonderland.’ Chorale Choir excelled in its own way as they performed in the best ocapello fashion that they have ever done in the choir’s history. Director Margaret Buttermore entered this choir into a spring choral choir festival in Fort Wayne. They had the opportunity to be judged on how well they could sight read as a choir. Swing Choir dazzled audiences everywhere as they added the new 94 CHOIRS dimensions of active choreography and trumpeteer Greg Siples. They placed fourth in the Auburn Fair Swing Choir competition, received a first division rating at State Swing Choir NISBOVA function, and were invited to attend the Elmhurst jazz festival. Individual students from all choirs competed at local NISBOVA sights where many met success. Eight students who advanced to state NISBOVA action all received superior rating scores. A trio also earned a state first rating. Vocal Valentines featured this year’s fund raising project for the vocal department. Jeff Lyon and Judy Barry earned all-State choir honors, as well as later being selected as two of forty finalists in a scholarship competition held at Wayne High School. ‘I’m really happy and excited about the accomplishments we have made,’’ stated Miss Buttermore.

Most couples opted for an elegant dinner before the prom as only finger foods were served. The band ‘Bogus’ provided the evening’s dancing music, while KFS Studio photographed the handsome couples. The guest entertainment was new to both the Juniors and Seniors. Dr. Ford dazzled his audience with the hyponsis of fellow classmates. Door prizes, which were donated by various merchants were given out during intermission. The evening closed with the crowning of prom king and queen, Juniors Steve Lepley and Krista Dircksen.

PROM 113 Jr.-Sr. Picnic: A success despite ‘Cold, cloudy, chance of thunderstorms, high of 48° ... ‘’—That was the setting for the annual Jr.-Sr. Picnic. The grass was wet, the air was cold and damp, but students, food and fun were plentiful. Surprisingly enough, the hideous weather did not hurt the turnout at Pokagon State Park. Students arrived in heavy sweatshirts, bearing covered dishes, brownies and buns awaiting the ham sandwiches and pop provided by the Senior class in appreciation to the Juniors for the prom. Football games, tubing, singing around the fire and nature walks were activities that kept the students busy and warm throughout the evening. The picnic proved to be a fun last school event for the Class of “81. 114 JR.-SR. PICNIC bad weather TOP—Joe Chisholm eludes a senior tackler as he runs the ball for the juniors.

All the activities, club functions, classes and sports at GHS would have no enthusiasm without the administration, faculty, sponsors, teachers, and coaches. To make a yearbook, a schoo must make memories—memories that we the yearbook staff must preserve so the student body can cherish them forever. In 1981, GHS has achieved many, many accomplishments ranging from Swing Choir winning a first place rating at State Contest to the Girl’s Basketball Team progressing to Semi-state. We can be proud of these achievements A special thanks goes to Mrs. Ludlum, our sponsor, who was always there when we needed her; Mr. Jon Winteregg, our Herff Jones Representative, who put up with our late deadlines and in turn we put up with his answering service; the JH Student Council, for donating $300 to the yearbook fund; the Patrons and Advertisers for their support in making the book possible. We hope you will always ‘‘remember 1981”’ the way we did! COLOPHON 189 Bc aati 190 CLOSING tw sa Lt | OSE 09 OOLE Love COE AU ABSIT SMeNd LUVHOS Seco!
