Garrett High School, situated in a small town, is far removed from the rest of the world yet its students follow tracks to success and ful- fillment. The amount of time spent in high school is relatively short. It is a connecting track which leads from adolescence to adulthood. The train never stops rolling down the track; it is in constant motion. Each day comes whether one is ready for it or not. Every person has his own way of getting down the track. Success depends not on how smart one is or on how much money one has; success depends on the individual PROVERTY agg, VCHIGAYy STATE SOGRMOESESERE GE RSEE ET] rt Ae) person who must keep chugging along re- peating, “I can do it.”’ Few will remember what happened on each and every day. The 1983 Aeolian attempts to capture the important hap- penings and way stations along the track and freeze them as memories so that they may be carried on the train, wherever it may go. Theme 3 owse 5 Theme Kami Oster dances way to Miss Garrett title The stage was set. Twelve girls ap- peared on the J.E. Ober stage July 17 to present their opening tap number, ‘‘Ap- plause, Applause, Applause,” which they had been learning since the middle of June with the help of reigning queen, Joy Hix- son. They left the stage but soon returned in bathing suits to introduce themselves. The talent competition came next and the girls appeared one by one to present their acts. The evening gown portion ended the judging as the girls presented carnations to their mothers and told them how special they were. After waiting 20 minutes for the judges to make up their minds, the girls were relieved when the final announcement came. It was Kami Oster, sponsored by Tri Kappa Sorority, who walked down the aisle as the new Miss Garrett.

Ober Auditorium. Decorated in blending fall colors to carry out the theme, “Wayward Winds,” the auditorium beck- oned approximately 140 Garrett High School students and guests. Music for dancing and relaxing was provided by Spectrum Light and Sound. OEA members showed up early Satur- day morning to put their brilliant ideas and decorating skills to work transforming the auditorium and entry hall into a subtle dream worl d.

Her court in- cluded Patty Brown, Janie Creager, Julie Creager, Wendy Creager, Lori Kruger, Cindy Miller, Roxane Sobieski, and Dean- na Wappes. After expenses were paid, OEA cleared approximately $150 on the dance.

Semi-formal First sophomore ever reigns over Football Homecoming As the leaves on the trees surrounding Memorial Field changed colors, cool breezes rushing through them created an atmosphere of ‘““Autumn Whispers’’ for Football Homecoming. For the first time ever, a sophomore was selected Queen. Deb Zerns reigned over the Oct. 1 festivities with King Pete Bowman, senior. For the first time in three years, Class of ’83 did not win “‘best deco- rated car” honors. That distinction went to the juniors with their stylishly jazzed-up wheels. Car competition between classes was fierce; it was reported that students were even peeking through garage win- dows to check out opposing vehicles dur- 10 Football Homecoming ing the week preceding Homecoming. Candidates for Homecoming King and Queen, nominated by classmates, were seniors Lori Bowman, Jenney McPheeters, Pete Bowman, and Mike Col- gate; juniors Mary Hile, Patty Hile, Mark George, and Doug Shippy; sophomores Tammy Wellhausen, Deb Zerns, John Bo- dey, and Rob Knott; and freshmen Dixie Helmick, Gina Seigel, Sean Ferry, and Greg Velpel.

Even without a theme, decorations in the Bateman Gym were as attractive as ever. Halftime crowning activities began with the introduction of King and Queen candi- dates: freshmen Doreen Zolman and Tom Firks, sophomores Julieanne Johnson and Joe Talley, juniors Patti Kleber and Scott Mason, and seniors Sandy Sparks, Eric Mossberger, Deanna Wappes, Mark Bow- man, Twylia Emigh, and Jay Johnson. The climax came with the announcement that Eric and Twylia were the new King and Queen. Twylia received her crown from Lena Sorensen, 1982 Queen, while Greg Bock, reigning King, presented a plaque to Eric. An exciting second half of basketball action ended with the Railroaders on the short end of a 57-56 battle to the last minute against Fremont. Despite the loss, GHS students were in good spirits for the traditional Homecoming dance in the Ober Auditorium. The band “‘Byte”’ pro- vided music for about 170 dancers.

Spirit weeks before ‘“‘big”’ games gave students a chance to display school spirit and pride at their utmost. Cheerleaders and Pep Club members bol- stered team spirit before each game by decorating players’ and managers’ lock- ers and coaches’ classrooms or offices as well as cheering at sports events. Not only in moments of victory but also in moments of defeat and while practicing, athletes showed their pride in wearing Railroader maroon and blue. However, spirit was not reserved only for athletics. Many students exhibited att school spirit simply by feeling proud of their school, its appearance, and its motto, ‘“GHS Pride and Tradition.’’ Some showed their pride by participating in band, choirs, theater, student publica- tions, and other time-consuming extra- curricular activities, and some by simply being a part of the day-to-day routine that makes GHS unique.

They help build the feeling of school pride, whether it is by cheering on the basketball team in Pep Club, being Santa Claus for Wee Haven in NHS, or simply by making decisions at a club meeting. Clubs teach one how to lead others, and equally important, how to fol- low someone else’s directions. At the same time, they provide fun and fellow- ship. The qualities and abilities discov- ered in clubs help one to keep on Rolling Down the Tracks. 18 Clubs | | | | | | Administrators kiss pig at Little 500 Student Council, led by officers Twylia Emigh, Jay Johnson, and Lori Bowman, completed one of its most memorable years in recent history. Sponsor Paul Johnston stated, ‘‘These officials led the council through many trials, tribulations, and many moments of success.’ The council started its year with the annual August breakfast meeting to plan the upcoming year’s events. In September the council was involved with sweetheart flower sales and homecoming nominations and balloting. After preparing for homecoming and Silver Anniversary team recognition in October, Garrett joined with the Prairie Heights Student Council for participation at the state convention.

Posters were made, cakes were baked, and treats were given in hon- or of the occasion. NHS and Student Council combined forces to make the Christmas canned foods and toy drive a success. In December and January, the council made preparation for February’s basket- ball homecoming and Silver Anniversary team recognition. School-wide candy sale was Student Council’s project in March. Students who wished to become Student Council officers or class representatives were busy in April. Prospective officers had to endure petitioning, poster making, hand shaking, and speech delivering to earn their posi- tions. | Little 500 again concluded the schedule of activities for Student Council in May| “This is the one activity the council mem| bership prepares and sets up without an | help from me,” stated Mr. Johnston. Little 500 was a huge success. From the club’: booths to the events held, everyone hac fun. The grand finale was the kissing of the pig. During Little 500 and the previou week, teacher and administration nomi nees were voted on. It was a close racd between Mr. Tol l and Mr. Gibson un someone decided to make a tie betwee! the two, which meant they both had to kis} the pig in front of the whole student body 7E Top—Senior High Student Council—Front Row—Mr. Paul Johnston, advisor; Twylia Emigh, president; Jay Johnson, vice-president; Lori Bow- man, treasurer; Jane Dircksen.

Student Council 21 Art club starts saving for own display case During the 1982-83 school year, Art Club members began to realize a dream — that of purchasing a display case. By con- ducting a bake sale, a cake raffle, dances for junior high and high school students, and an art show, and selling sweetheart flowers, the club began to save money for this project. Officers who led the club in their endeavors were Tom Cole, presi- dent; and Tammy Standiford, secretary. Mr. Mark Ober, advisor, served as trea- surer of the club.

Ober Auditor- ium. Alpha Rho Chapter of Psi Iota Xi once again sponsored the club and pro- vided refreshments and initiation pins for new members. Annual teacher apprecia- tion breakfast saw NHS members up and about early in the morning making break- fast for themselves as well as for the teach- ers. In showing appreciation for the staff, club members also helped serve at the school board banquet for school person- nel, a new event at GHS. The club also remained active through- out the year by helping with the Junior National Honor Society initiation, selling M M’s to raise money for NHS scholar- ships, having a picnic in the park, and participating in Little 500 with a bake sale.

Luis Navarro, an exchange student from Mexico, presented a program about the area of Mexico in which he lives. Members of Spanish Club, along with German Club, co-sponsored Foreign Lan- guage Week in the fall. Subject name tags were placed outside classrooms, an- nouncements were given about aspects of knowing foreign languages, and Mexican and German ‘‘goodies’’ were placed in teachers’ mailboxes at the end of the week. Garrett and DeKalb clubs combined their efforts for an annual Christmas par- ty. This year the party was at Chi Chi’s in Fort Wayne. The club also sold tacos at Little 500 and went to Don Pedro’s Hacienda in May for the traditional spring banquet.

Highlight of the year was a trip to the Heidleberg Restaurant in Huntington on May 6. Club members enjoyed trying to read the German menu, which included such items as saurbraten, bratwurst, pota- to pancakes, German breads, and a salad bar. The good food, dancing, and singing featured by the restaurant provided an eventful and entertaining evening for members. The year came to a close with an ‘“‘End to German Club” party on May 19. Club members voted not to resume club activi- ties in the 1983-84 school year. | | | | | | SSS Top—German Club—Front Row—Mr. Gary Surfus, advisor; Brian Michael, Natasha Tschebykin, Jenny Baber, Kathryn Kemerling, Kirk Johnson, Jay Johnson.

German Club 25 Corn planter purchased for FFA convenience After another busy year, the Garrett FFA Chapter was rated superior by the State FFA Association for the seventh year in a row. Garrett judging teams won the county livestock and dairy competition and went on to tie for third in area livestock judging and to place sixth in area dairy judging contests. At the district convention Gar- rett members ranked sixth in the area asa chapter. Individually Jean Lange won the horse proficiency contest, Doug Holbrook placed first in diversified livestock profi- ciency, and Frank Weller placed second in swine. A team of Doug Holbrook, Frank Weller, Dean Hatton, and Tim Knott par- ticipated in the state livestock judging competition in June. Another highlight of the year was the purchase of a corn planter. This enabled the club to have more control over plant- ing dates instead of having to wait for a rented planter. Besides the wheat crop for the year, members also made money by selling garden seeds. In December and July members attend- ed state leadership camps. Evening meet- _ ings, a swimming party, a Christmas par- ty, a watermelon feed, and a fishing day at Chain O’ Lakes State Park rounded out the year for FFA members. The club was led by officers Doug Hol- brook, president; Kevin Thrush, vice- president; Linda Haynes, secretary; Jean Lange, treasurer; Rob Knott, reporter; Sterling Robbins, sentinel; and Mr. Andy Giegold, advisor.

They also devoted several evenings to make Thanksgiving favors for residents of Mill- er’s Merry Manor. FHA invited varsity and reserve mem- bers of the girls’ basketball team, coaches, managers, and administrators to a break- fast in honor of the team in January. The girl jocks enjoyed scrambled eggs, sau- sage, biscuits, orange juice, and milk. Selling chances for a Smurf cake at Lit- tle 500 in May ended the year for FHA chapter members.

New equipment provided by the school system aided both the newspaper and yearbook staffs in 1982-83. Newspaper staff began using the school’s new 48K computer and word pro- cessor to do the typesetting of the Signal. Not only did this method of typesetting defray some of the cost of producing the Signal but also helped students learn new computer processes and techniques. Both staffs used a Canon AE-1 Program cam- era, which was purchased with English De- partment funds. Fund raising was a major concern of the Aeolian and Signal staffs as well as pro- ducing their respective publications. Yearbook and newspaper staffs jointly sponsored a chili-salad bar supper Oct. 27. Another joint project was Lifesaver Lollipop sales, which went over well this year. A senior high dance was sponsored by the Aeolian after a football game. Mr. Robert Gruesbeck, demonstrated his disc jockey skills by playing records for danc- ing and listening. During basketball season Steve Dembickie provided music and lights for another senior high dance spon- sored jointly by both staffs along with a third dance for junior high students DJ’ed by Carrie Cook, Dawn Olds, and Mike Colgate.

Tina Weller and Michelle Peters placed fifth at Highland, defeating former nation- al champs, Chesterton, and state runners- up from Muncie in duo competition. Thespians kept busy with many activi- ties. Members held their formal candle- light initiation at the Factory in Fort Wayne. Initiates wore blue and gold paint on their faces and were “‘slaves’’ the fol- lowing day in school. a PRR CN Sc 1 advo t ached fpaead tf, bamse if judd fi� . he mt id j is npl Meet fe fo Vows tC pleas Lune Sul Cth naes Roszef be opets Medusa L iJ — lang f : 2 tm nt “46 ee at BI. sn ay var yp Lie Bint 1 rziMMiny The Chicago trip to see the Broadway production of Amadeus highlighted the year as a truly unforgettable experience.

Christian fellowship The heartbeatbeat of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes is the huddle fellow- ship, which was developed to provide an environment that encourages personal Christian growth, fellowship, and opportu- nities in the church. The huddle began a series of Saturday morning breakfasts that helped to encour- age this growth in each member. The hud- dle also participated in many other events during the year. A penny pitch for the Garr ett Christmas Bureau was sponsored and members went caroling at Miller’s Merry Manor during Christmas. FCA unsuccessfully attempted to set a record for the Guinness Book of World Records for washing the most cars for free in a short period of time. Members also voluntarily helped in the U.S. Wrestling Federation Age-group Tournament con- ducted by the Garrett Wrestling Club. An exciting WMEE basketball game was sponsored by FCA as a fund-raiser. The year was concluded with the annual FCA overnighter on March 18.

Ober Auditorium. The theme, ‘“‘Wayward Winds,” helped provide the perfect fall setting for the dance. Among fund raisers was the OEA Su- perstars competition in which the sopho- more class beat out seniors by just five points to net first place with 33 total points.

The initi- ation at Mindy Heal’s home called for new members to be blindfolded and fed rather unappetizing baby food. In addition to the initiation, Y-Teens also sponsored a Morp dance. A Morp is the opposite of a prom. Girls ask guys; couples dress in T-shirts and jeans and eat out at fast food restaurants. Music for the Morp was provided by Ken Goldie, Pat Martin, and Tim and Todd Gorman. Missy Heal and Mike Murley were crowned Queen and King. The year for Y-Teens ended with the sale of popsicles at the Little 500.

How about a club whose members use magical powers, cast spells, and battle evil monsters for valu- able treasure, all at the risk of being killed? is Dungeons and Dragons is the name of GHS’s newest activity. During weekly meetings, members participated in an ad- venture using the increasingly popular fantasy role-playing game of the same name. The club was founded at the begin- ning of the year by senior Dave Relue and sophomore Anna Cordes, with the help of sponsor Mrs. Meg Eastes. The adventure continued each week, led by.a Dungeon Master, who controlled the universe the game is set in. Relue was the club’s DM for the majority of the year, after which sophomore Tim Sparks as- ARTI es Fairy castles, dragons liven up activity period sumed the position. Purpose of the game is to expand stu- dent creativity. The situations and possi- bilities for excitement are limited solely by the players’ imaginations, and the adven- ture settings and game plots are created by the Dungeon Master himself. During Christmas vacation, the club met twice at the Garrett Public Library for afternoon-long game sessions.

One of the major projects of the year, the junior high play, turned out to be a great success.

Christmas caroling highlighted the win- ter season. The cookies and hot chocolate afterwards were welcome treats. A trip to Chicago to see Amadeus at the Blackstone Theater on March 17 proved to be quite an experience for club members. Besides seeing a Broadway group perform with famous Mark Hamil, additional excitement came when the bus broke down and students arrived home at 5:30 a.m. the next school day.

However a disappointing open- ing loss to East Noble seemed to set the tone for the Railroaders’ entire season. The defense seemed to outweigh the offense in almost every game. The Rail- roaders’ offense appeared to lag in every game except against Eastside and Prairie Heights. In these two games they showed what they were capable of with a 33-0 win over Prairie Heights and a 34-0 win over Eastside. The next game brought the Rail- roaders, with their 2-1 record, to Leo. The only points scored against the Lions came in the second quarter on a bad snap of a Leo punt.

Another win was recorded on a rainy night at Zollner Stadium. Concordia jumped to an early 6-0 lead, but midway through the final quarter the Railroaders tied the game and held the Cadets until Nick German could drill in the extra point to give GHS a well-earned 7-6 victory. Homecoming provided Garrett fans with one of the most exciting games of the season. West Noble came to Garrett ranked fourth in the state and grabbed an early 6-0 lead. The Railroaders fought back and trailed by only four points, 18- 14, at halftime. A Garrett drive late in the fourth quarter was stopped when Brad Johnson fumbled on a questionable call. The next three weeks found the gridders going 2-0 with heart stopping victories 25 over Central Noble and Fremont. A crush- ing loss at the hands of DeKalb set up the final game of the year against Angola. The Hornets, ranking in the Top 10 Class AA, came to Garrett to confront the Railroaders and assure themselves a spot in the state playoffs. Although the Angola squad won, it was not as easy as they had hoped. The Railroaders played one of their best games of the year and gave the bigger, swifter Hornets a run for their money. Coach John Hutton commented, “‘Al- though not as successful as hoped for on the gridiron, the Railroaders were a hard working group of young men who gave their all.” VARSITY FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD Garrett Opponent East Noble 12 Eastside 0) Prairie Heights 0 Leo 13 Concordia 6 West Noble 18 Central Noble 12 DeKalb 29 15 Fremont 14 6 Angola 19 5 Wins 5 Losses met eae ewe feecwenn rent SADC ASO ERENT FR GOT rrr - Top—Fathers proudly stand by their sons during parents’ night ceremonies. | : | ADEE Veretty Football Team—Front Row—Patty Kleber, Patty Hile, Kami Oster, Julieanne Johnson, Kathy Feagler.

It takes team unity as well as overall ability to be successful,” remarked Leigh Anne Chisholm. Although the Lady Railroaders worked hard, they could not overcome most of their opponents during the season. The girls were, however, able to beat their archrivals the Lady Barons of DeKalb. They also made a comeback in the NECC Tourney by beating Fairfield and Prairie Heights to earn runner-up honors. An- other honor came when Ann Schendel was selected to the All Conference first team. As a team, the Lady Railroaders were successful in 84% of bumps, 96% of sets, 65% of blocks, 83% of serves, 80% of spikes, 79% of dinks, and 157 saves. Leigh Anne Chisholm led the team with 100% successful blocks, 26 saves and also shared blocking honors with Jane Dircksen with a 86% rate. Chris Wiant proved her proficiency in setting and dink- ing with 100% accuracy. Renee Winans showed a talent for serving by hitting the ball over the net 100% of the time.

Senior Pete Bowman became the first Garrett harrier to qualify for semi-state. The Railroaders completed the season with a 12-3 dual meet record. They fin- ished second in the Northeast Corner Con- ference and never less than fifth in invita- tionals. Individually, Pete Bowman finished fourth in the sectional and eighth in the regional. He also broke his own school re- cord at the Harding Invitational with a time of 16:08 minutes. Bowman, Tom Custer, and John Bodey earned first team All-Conference honors. The essential element to Garrett’s most successful cross country season ever, ac- cording to Tom Custer, was teamwork. Pete Bowman added, “With team unity creating an atmosphere for the guys to perform well, we were capable of putting forth our best effort every time we ran. The hard work, hot muggy August days, morning runs, and pains were all part of it, but without the help of the good Lord, we couldn’t have done it.”’ Coach Robert Novy encouraged the team with his enthusiasm and treated them to cook-outs and get-togethers.

The ‘‘third season” came in the last four regular season games, when the Rail- roaders bounced back, showing signs of improvement to win three of four games. Included in these wins was an overtime win at Lakeland, a team Garrett had not beaten in 11 years. Even though this was Garrett’s first year in the NECC conference, the Rail- roaders were able to tie for third place with a 5-4 record.

The team consisted of serious, dedicated athletes who took pride in their school and truly wanted to win,” stated Coach Pressler. ““Since the team did not have any sen- iors, the experience that the underclass- men gained should really pay off next year,” said Coach Pressler. “With hard work during the off-season and the team returning intact, the future looks bright for girls’ basketball at Garrett,” he added.

In the very first game senior tell aR Cee Todd Perry pitched a no-hitter against the New Haven Bulldogs. Playing in the NECC for the first time, the Railroaders convincingly won the con- ference championship with a perfect 9-0 mark, outscoring NECC foes 61-20. In- cluded in the nine victories were five shut out pitching performances. The leading hitter of 1983 was senior John Clauss, a two time first team all-con- ference selection (NEIAC—1982), who belted the ball for a .309 clip including a team leading 16 stolen bases. Todd Perry was another first team all- conference selection. Todd compiled a 6-3 pitching record with a 2.04 ERA, striking out 69 batters in 61 innings. Doug Shippy, junior, led the club in hits (27), RBI’s (25), and game winning hits (5) on his way to first team all-conference hon- ors. Darren Peters, junior, hit .300, collect- ed 24 hits, including a team leading four home runs, as well as producing an 8-1 pitching record and first team all-confer- ence selection. Senior first baseman Brian Michael earned all-conference honorable mention after hitting .286 for the season. One month before the season began Coach Steve Stocker said, ““The seniors have to play like seniors for this team to be successful.’’ He summed up the season by saying, ““A conference championship and a 16-11 overall record attested to the fact that fine leadership was provided by all of the seniors—John Clauss, Troy Dicker- son, Nick German, Doug Kee, Brian Mi- chael, and Todd Perry—a group that worked hard and deserved a champion- ship season.” Top— Questioning a close call, Coach Steve Stocker gets moral support from Dave Shields and the Rail- roader bench.

Winning season § highlights year “The thing I will remember the most about our season is having a winning one. We had 8 wins and 2 losses. It was our first year competing against other schools and we did a good job,” stated seventh grader Tammy Bodey. Under the direction of Coach Karen Dircksen, the girls toned their passing and serving skills which paid off as they were beaten only by Kendallville and Wood- side. This accomplishment tied them with DeKalb and Kendallville for the confer- ence title. These young players did their best at sets with a 86% success rate. They also made 79% of bumps, 74% of serves, 73% of spikes, and 47% of saves. Indi- vidually, Tammy Bodey led in sets with 96% and spikes with 100%. Deb Smurr was 100% successful with saves, Beth Boltz proved proficient in bumping with 93%, and Emily Tuttle served the ball over the net 92% of the time. 7TH GRADE VOLLEYBALL SCOREBOARD Garrett Opponent Leo Huntertown Perry Hill Avilla Central Noble Churubusco Angola DeKalb Woodside SSeS ow oS ] @ eS 2 2 2 Zz 2 1 Kendallville 2 2 2 1 8 2 Losses 7th Grade Volleyball “This class has more talented young men than any eighth grade team I| have coached in the last four years,’’ comment- ed Coach Ron Weimer.

JH Girls’ Track 83 a Each person perceives life in his own way. It is education that teaches one how to look at life and interpret it. Just as an artist may see the beauty of a field, the agriculturist may look only at its worth as grazing land, and the architect may see it as a building site. Each student is free to choose the types of classes he takes. It is this choice that de- termines how one views life while Rolling Down the Tracks. 84 Classes | | 86 English Foreign Language Language arts students use Avice of Venere lite 1 bees a cerca Follarn: y videotaping, VCR equipment A suit of garbage bags? Wearing four Pairs of tennis shoes? Speech students did these and many more zany things in an assignment to write and present an adver- tisement. The point was to dress as the product you were trying to sell. Sound like fun? Garbage bag people, sneaker peo- ple, and many other strange beings were preserved on the Media Center’s video- tape so that student presentations could be analyzed. Videotape was used exten- sively this year in language arts classes much to the dismay of many students. After all, who wants to see himself give a speech, especially if he goofs. The Media Center’s video cassette re- cording equipment enabled English stu- dents to view and discuss or write about outstanding programs from commercial and public televison. Mrs. Meg Eastes’s third period class made an amazing transformation into the “E” team. In spite of constant abuse from research classes, these sophomores man- aged to publish their own literary maga- zine. Research classes also put out their own publications—term papers. A useful trip to the Fort Wayne Public Library not only provided the class with information but also a day off from other classes and a gourmet lunch at Johnell’s. Newspaper yearbook class made good use of the Canon AE-1 Program camera purchased by the English Department. (Did you smile prettily for the photogra- phers?) Students wishing to converse with for- eign exchange students in their native lan- guage flocked to Spanish and German classes. For the second year in a row, a third-year Spanish class was offered show- ing an increasing interest in the language. Advanced Spanish and German classes spent time in J.E. Ober School trying to teach elementary students some of the ba- sics of the languages, a learning exper- ience for them as well as the elementary pupils.

English Foreign Language 87 Almost anything goes in math; that is, if it follows the rules Graph y=2x+6, A=¥%bh, GOTO 170. These expressions plus many more become quite familiar to those studying math, the language of the future. Formulas, equations, graphs, and yes, even monsters (which appear mysterious- ly upon computer screens) are all a part of this complicated land where one must be careful not to get lost in a tangle of geo- metric shapes and figures. Among the joys of studying math are learning the Pythago- rean Theorem inside and out, discovering how to find the slope in an irregular curve at a given point, and mastering time, rate, and distance (remember d=rt) problems. Even more fun, or at least as much fun, are computer classes. With the purchase of three new computers and a word pro- cessor (a possibility for research papers?) there are even more chances of getting satisfaction, surprise (that it worked) or 88 Math (sigh) the dismay of working and complet- ing a computer program. Who knows, after hours and hours of hard work and patience, a new game, an improvement on an old one, or perhaps even a monster may result. Students aren’t the only ones entitled to learn about computers. Teachers and adults were also taught basic computer language in adult education classes and a teacher in-service session. To the utter dismay of students, few snow days left classes with plenty of time to cover more material. The purchase of graph paper, protractors, compasses, me- ter sticks, colored chalk (for geometry in which figures tend to blend together un- less identified by different colors), 12 TI30 calculators, and 24 9-volt batteries helped the department ready itself for teaching even more students next year.

Dead frogs, electric light bulbs, and ev- erything in between may be found in use in GHS science rooms. Largest chemistry classes ever learned about atomic weight, balancing chemical equations, and to the dismay of the rest of the student body, how to make the school smell like rotten eggs. Worse yet was the second-year chemistry class, whose mem- bers almost always managed to stink up at least the chemistry room if not the rest of the school with odors more pungent than the dreaded rotten egg smell. Another equally dangerous, though not as smelly group, was the “‘biology bunch’. These students examined their own blood cells under microscopes and sharpened their scalpels in preparation for bisecting frogs and worms (no people yet). Then there were physics students. Play- ing with Slinkys, making waves in water tanks, and studying light with film projec- tors were their favorite activities. Never did a week go by that they weren’t up to something. One week, while studying stat- 90 Science ic electricity, they thought it amusing to make their hair stand up straight. Junior high classes covered a variety of | topics from light to cohesion and adhesion. Playing with rubber suction cups and Slinkys was an understandable part of their education which will be aided in the following years with new ray optics equip- ment ordered at the end of the year. Changes are on the way for the 1984- 85 school year as the Science Department adopted new standards of education which call for every Indiana high school graduate to take one year of physical and one year of life science. Many students in science found them- selves on the crash list as the year wore on and test tubes, thermometers, and flasks just seemed to slip through, get knocked over, or get cracked because as everyone knows, hot glass and cold water don’t mix. Therefore, as usual, the department or- dered replacements for all the shattered equipment.

Science 91 Guest speakers, TV movies enliven social studies classes Did the United States actually have a camel corps at one time? The Social Stud- ies Department would surely know. But what about today’s society? Do they know about all the changes? Of course they do. According to department head, Mr. Rocky Pressler, the entire department works hard to keep up-to-date on changes occurring in modern society (remember current events quizzes and discussions in some classes?). Instructors aim at prepar- ing students for the future with knowledge from the past. Is there another Napoleon in the making at GHS? More important, is it your best friend? You don’t know who Napoleon was? Better keep your ears and eyes open during class. On May 2 three local attorneys visited GHS and they had more on their minds than just roaming the halls. They were here for Law Day. Seniors had taken a quiz on laws the day before. Then they discussed the answers with the lawyers and found out how much (or how litle) they really knew about laws. 92 Social Studies In the fall, Colby Knerr of Fort Wayne State Hospital and Training Center visited psychology classes. No, he wasn’t there to take the students away, he was there to discuss mental health. Besides the usual humdrum routine of taking notes and listening to lectures, some classes watched TV movies that had been recorded on the Media Center’s vid- eo cassette recorder. (Thank you, Mr. Novy and Mrs. Feagler.) Besides the TV movies The Blue and the Grey and Winds of War, other movies and film- strips were also shown in various class- rooms. (Sorry, kids, no popcorn allowed.) Next time you enter a social studies classroom make sure to check the maps and see if Garrett is on them. Make sure especially to check the two new maps bought for U.S. history. If Garrett is there it’s a good map. If you can find your house, it is even a better map. If Garrett isn’t there, well, then you can’t have ev- erything. Top—Mr. Pressler’s sixth period government class makes good use of activity period by working on homework.

The two words seem to go together for most students. However dis- mal health and physical education (com- monly known as P.E.) classes may sound, high school graduates are required to take (and pass) one semester of health and one year of P.E. Although it may seem other- wise, topics taught in these classes no doubt will be useful in future life. Take for instance nutrition, taught in health. By listening carefully a good vo- cabulary may be developed. Health stu- dents won’t be caught short when a pretty (or handsome) jogger runs up and starts talking about lipids and proteins. Not only are topics such as nutrition discussed but also illnesses. After all, it is useful to know if one has a fatal illness of some kind (besides the usual mental kind). Also first aid and mouth-to-mouth resusci- tation are taught. Who knows when such skills could be useful? From year to year classes change, and in 1982-83 some health classes tested 94 Health P.E. the Olympics? how physically fit students were in certain areas. The test included a 12-minute walk run test, a test for leg strength, an eye hand coordination test, a test for quickness, and an agility test. P.E. students on the other hand focused more on getting fit than on how fit they a lready were. Besides learning the basics of how to shower and dress in less than ten minutes (useful subjects to know when one gets up late in the morning), students learned about a variety of sports such as soccer, basketball, gymnastics, bowling, and warball. Knowlege in these sports can really be quite useful in starting conversa- tions, especially at sporting events. New equipment was ordered by the P.E. Health Department for students’ use. Items such as badmitton racquets, soccer balls, racquetball racquets, basket- balls, footballs, a tug-of-war rope, and a floor hockey set were just a few of the items purchased along with first aid sup- plies. a Top—Dennis Weimer backs up Todd Gorman dur- — ing a softball game in P.E. class. | Middle Right—Because learning to keep score is as important to bowling as knowing how to throw the | ball, Twilla Centers keeps track of pins as Paul War- | field writes down a teammate’s score. junhies Siap i yeurs OU wT TE At Natiung ; SQUARELY (TE TRUM CAGE BALLS Gear Yeu' + Top Left—Students in P.E. classes await their turn to bowl.

Still it is not easy when a few lines may stand for a whole word. But never fear, the switch from Greg Series 90 system to the Century 21 system makes it a little bit easier as all s’s and circles go in the same direction in- stead of going every which way. For those who just don’t feel comfort- able with shorthand there are many other business classes that may be taken. Rows and rows of endless numbers become deci- pherable in accounting as students learn about assets, debits, etc. Typing class puts an end to the hunt and peck method that many people employ as untrained typists. Knowing how to type makes it much easi- er to complete term papers and reports (unless your father’s secretary does it for you. Then, of course, that’s the easiest way to get it done). Business lab combines many skills and simulates a real office situation. Business law classes learn all about the law and usually go see a court case. Classes were unable to sit in on a trial this year because many cases were settled out of court or a continuance was granted to the defen- dant. However, Miss Lenore Lewis’s gen- eral business class did take a day off (Hur- rah!) to visit Lincoln National Bank to learn about careers in banking and the McMillen Health Center for a drug abuse educational program. While at the bank students were allowed to hold thousands of dollars. Unfortunately they were unable to take any of it home with them. If you like watching filmstrips, enroll in a business class.

Metal and wood shops turn out beauti- ful and useful items. (That is, usually turn out beautiful items; sometimes they goof a little bit.) Those taking auto mechanics learn about engines and even fix cars that belong to brave souls who are willing to take a chance and let students under the hoods of their ailing vehicles. Building Trades classes can be seen outside working on the construction of their house which, when finished, is put on the market to provide funds for the follow- ing year’s project house. Plans for the house are drawn up by the vocational drafting class, landscaping is done by agri- culture students, and interior design is 98 Vocational Vocational classes emphasize skills needed in jobs, careers handled by the housing class. When it is completed, the house is a true GHS pro- duction. In the area of home economics, though it may seem odd to see boys sewing, some do take the class (especially junior high boys, who are required to take it) and learn some useful skills, like how to sew on their own buttons and even how to make their own T-shirts. Foods classes not only teach nutrition, a thing all growing boys and girls need to know about (whether they are growing up or out), but also how to cook. Another useful class is child development in which students learn how to care for infants and children. Vocational classes teach kids (survival?) skills—skills that can be used throughout life.

The group, which contained many sen- ior girls, will remember the year for the hard teamwork which resulted in a quality performance at Christmas. Other memo- ries will include long hours of practice for Chorale Contest, “‘injuries’’ at Pizza Hut, and riding buses to performances.

This different look came from new uniforms which consisted of black skirts, white shirts, blue red revers- ible vests, and red ascots. To complete the look, new red, white, and blue flags were also purchased. Crossguard flag corps started practice during the summer and worked hard to get their timing just right. Co-captains Dawn Olds and Allison Mil- let led the squad through performances with the band and through a routine to ‘‘Fame’’ during the basketball game against Hamilton. They worked hard ev- ery Saturday and Wednesday plus many activity periods for 21 weeks to perfect the routine and then auditioned for Princi- pal Gaylord Toll before performing at the game.

Christmas trees, tinsel, and garland helped create a magical at- mosphere as dinner was served for 301 people. The dinner, which preceded the play, was prepared by the cast. As the curtain opened, an eye-catching set was revealed—a black backdrop with a colorful jumble of high school slogans painted on it, each one having a special meaning.

The play held a special meaning for all who participated in its production. It al- lowed them not only to portray students unlike themselves, but also to step into a teacher’s role and experience the daily trials of this profession. The cast aimed to convey to the audience that school isn’t just books and papers but also challenges and experiences, feelings, and learning to understand one another.

All School Production 109 Traditional musical replaced by revue sere EJ “Little girls,’ human pinwheels, and bright costumes of all styles, sizes, and colors filled the GHS stage the weekend of April 15-17 as Garrett’s first musical re- vue, Hats Off to Broadway, was pre- sented. The musical revue is a combina- tion of the best of all musicals with a narrated storyline. GHS chose to perform the best of older, well-known musicals as well as selections from more recent Broadway sensations rather than present a traditional musical. Some of the more traditional musical se- lections included songs from The Music Man, and “‘The Farmer and the Cowman’”’ from Oklahoma, the first musicals in which dance was important, and “‘There Is Nothing Like a Dame”’ from South Pa- cific. Recent musicals represented were Pippin, Godspell, Annie, A Chorus Line, and this year’s Broadway hit, Cats. The revue provided an opportunity for great variety as many types of music were performed. Numerous soloists were al- lowed to share the spotlight while junior high and elementary students also re- ceived the opportunity to perform on stage and gained experience to be used in future GHS productions. In her program notes Miss Margaret Buttermore, director, wrote: This revue does not attempt to present a chronologi- cal sequence of every great show per- formed or attempt to mention each signifi- cant development. Our attempt has been to highlight some of the shows which were major turning points in the development of the American musical theater as well as including some of our favorite ‘“‘stan- dards’.

The Prime Time Crime is a comedy spoof in which parodies of TV prime time crime fighters, such as Charlie’s Devils (Charlie’s Angels) and Kojacket (Kojak), descend upon the Shropshire Manor. Each in his or her special way tries to solve a humorously complex Agatha Christie type of mystery. The basic plot concerns rich and eccen- tric Aunt Abigail Shropshire who is ready to die. Greedy relatives gather at the man- or, none above murdering another for a piece of the pie.

JH Play 113 The school year offered many new op- portunities and experiences for junior high choir and band students, who met as classes every other day. Choir students learned to sing in three parts and developed their individual tal- ents with private voice lessons, which were offered to them for the first time. Members formed their own ensembles and solo groups to perform in the vocal contest. Other performances included the Christmas and spring concerts. Swing choirs and newly formed eighth grade jazz choir performed separate numbers for the audience. One highlight of the year was the per- formance of a Dixieland combo at the spring concert. The combo featured out- standing junior high instrumentalists and singers. Additional spice was added to the year by volunteer students who learned to ‘“‘skat’’ and did choreography during class. Band students also had a chance to ex- pand their musical skills with concerts and private music lessons. They performed with the high school band in the winter and pops concerts. Eighth graders were al- lowed, for the first time, to participate in the high school marching band. They per- formed in all parades and competitions with the high school students.

The GHS staff, however, manages to perform all these duties as well as be involved in many extra-curricular activities. Taking time to coach a team, guide a club, or clean up after a dance is what makes the staff at GHS so special.

They have been prepared by classes, clubs, sports, and through friendships to face life. Graduation is not the end of the track. Rather, it is when the gate is finally opened and a whole new track is re- vealed. From graduation, seniors are al- lowed to leave the sheltered side track and begin the journey down a bigger, more perilous track of adulthood. With dreams and goals on the horizon, seniors keep on Rolling Down the Tracks. | ie aeeret | “7 SS 3 ae er eee sgt Soar ae a ng Seniors 125 Prom moves to gymnasium; picnic remains The Junior-Senior Prom and Picnic once again provided entertainment for ju- niors and seniors in the final months before — graduation.

Girls dressed in maroon, boys in blue, and Natioal Honor Society members in white, seniors entered the gymnasium to be together for the last time. Class president Jay Johnson warmly greeted fellow graduates, faculty, families and friends and wished classmates suc- cess in the future. “... many of us will not accomplish anything ‘big’ for the world. We will only do our part to the best of our abilities. We should be proud of this. If everyone does his her best, then we will ‘fly high’ togeth- er. But this can only come through having goals and striving to attain them,” stated Valedictorian Julie Gorrell in her address as she stressed the need to set goals. Salutatorian Tina Weller had a slightly different message for the Class of 1983. “But no matter how strong a group we have become, we must remember that we are all individuals with ideas and feelings of our own. [hope . . . that I will encourage some of my fellow classmates and those in my community to set their own standards for life. For, as we go out today, each one of us must decide for himself who will set the standards for life.” “Aim at the sun. You may not reach it, but you will fly higher than if you never aimed at all’’ was the motto of the Class of 1983. The white rose was voted as class flower and the class colors were powder blue and navy. Seniors chose “Our Time Has Come to Part,’’ composed and writ- ten by Tina Weller, as their official class song. The class voted to have reunions every five years to discuss all the good times during high school and to remember hav- ing voted to throw their hats at Com- mencement.

LA7 People are an important part of life because from people come friends. Friends help one get through the rough times. They help one get over the track where it’s a little bit torn and broken apart. Friends are also there to share in the good times, when everything is rolling along smoothly. Friendly rivalry pushes one to excel and if not to excel, then simply to be better. Friendships are a necessary part of life, a part to be locked in one’s heart and kept forever and car- ried while Rolling Down the Tracks. 148 People nines geninamtcndiae Lancie ENS See Juniors decorate winning car at Homecoming | Dottie Adkins Stuart Anderson Brad Babbitt Heidi Baber Steve Bade Dee Bauman Zelda Bevis Kari Blust Sharon Brown Doug Brumbaugh Tammy Burniston Ginger Centers Ed Chisholm Leigh Anne Chisholm Daren Christlieb Tammy Collingsworth Patrick Cramer Brent Crowe Tony Curtland Cris Davis Darren Dennison Chris DePaolo Bob DeWitt Dina Drerup Shelly Dunham Paul Everidge Kathy Feagler Diana Ferguson Mary Freeze Tony Frost Mark George Lora Gerber Deanna Getts Susan Getts Todd Gibson Deborah Gilbert Carla Gingrich Duane Griffis James Harding ee tea tt Far Right—Nyla Sherwood searches through her locker before class.

Businesses not only provide the basics for living but also make available such items as televisions, micro- wave ovens, and power tools and through advertising support newspapers, maga- zines, yearbooks, and other publications. Through advertising, it is the businesses, along with clubs and individuals, that truly keep the Aeolian Rolling Down the Tracks. %2 OR fea er 164 Ads 165 ss) = on tent pen eh EE ed ha ee RAILROAD INN 308 W.

The trip was filled with numerous bumpy spots and delays. Through the diligent efforts of a few staff members, the yearbook was finished three weeks after the 1983-84 school year began. Although originally planned to be 200 pages, the 1983 Aeolian wound up with 189 pages. In all, 510 copies were printed by Herff Jones in Montgomery, Alabama. The cover is four-color lithography of the train painted on the south wall of the Paul Bateman gymnasium by Athletic Director John Hutton. The background color of the cut-out effect is 30% cyan. Endsheets are ivory; 80-pound glossy enamel Bordeaux special paper has been used throughout the Symth sewn book. On the cover the theme, ‘Rolling Down the Tracks,” is done in 48-point Brush, Aeolian ’83 is in 60-point Brush, and the spine information is in 36-point Brush. Headlines are in 30-point Souvenir light, subheads in 18-point Souvenir Light, copy in 10-point, and captions in 8-point. Souvenir Demi is used as emphasis type. Division headlines are in 60-point Brush. Special thanks go to Mrs. Bonnie Miles, advisor, for all the headaches she endured and survived; to Jon Winteregg, Herff Jones representative, for his sugges- tions and help in completing layouts; to the sports-minded Jerry Cauffman family for numerous action photos; to the sixth period journalism class (especially Kris Sickmiller, Jim Mosley, Teresa Delauder, and Mike Maley for their help during the summer); and to all those students who sold ads or worked on layouts. Apprecia- _tion is extended also to administrators, coaches, teachers, and other GHS staff members for their cooperation in providing information and setting up photo- graphs for the 1983 Aeolian.
