It was the end of a lazy sum- mer vacation and the beginning of a new school year. However, this was not to be just another year at GH S. Instead, this would be a year of change. With a new superintendent, principal, junior high guidance counselor, four new staff members, and con- struction of an auxiliary gymnasium auditorium in the planning stages, 1989 would be unique. Superintendent Alan Middleton said, “The auditorium will be an excellent addition for the community, not just for the kids but also for the parents. | really believe the students will be excited with the changes.” Along with new principal, Mr. Roger Weimer, came several changes in rules including closed lunches for everyone except juniors and seniors. Mr. Weimer explained, ‘Il chose to allow open lunches for upperclassmen to make them realize that they are becoming young adults. We want to teach them to be re- sponsible for some of their actions and show them the posi- tive opportunities that go along with young adulthood.” “No Smoking” signs posted in the teachers’ lounge caused some staff members to look again in disbelief. School board members passed this regulation in keeping with increased health consciousness’ throughout society. “I’m happy about the new rule. I’ve always given teachers a rough time about smoking in the lounge because smoke gives me headaches. Also | think staff members should set a good example to students by not smoking,’ commented Mr. Mark Ober, art teacher. Aside from new rules, differ- ent personalities among staff and students added a new twist to 1989, sending GHS in A Dif- ferent Direction. —Tina Carlin Principal's secretary, Mrs. Janet Getts, completes a letter as new principal, Mr. Roger Weimer, looks on.

As the curtain opened displaying a colorful stage deco- rated in a Mexican theme, con- testants performed “Rhythm Is Gonna Get Ya,” by Miami Sound Machine. Following introductions by emcee Bob Novy, everyone rushed back to the dressing room to prepare for swimsuit competition. Heather Marti, sponsored by Sigma Phi Gamma Sorority, received swimsuit a- ward.

Next came the talent compe- tition in which contestants per- formed a variety of acts ranging from song and dance to magic.

Tina Carlin, sponsored by Elks, received evening gown award. Jamie Witherspoon, spon- sored by Tri Kappa Sorority, was crowned Miss Garrett. “Being a part of the pageant was an en- joyable experience, which | would advise any girl to be in- volved in. Don’t worry about competing, just relax and get to know the other girls,” Jamie stated. Shari Thrush, sponsored by Business and Professional Women was named first runner- up. —Tina Carlin Miss Garrett Se rR. eX Now and Then 1989 Year’s Top Story—Bush’s Inauguration President—George Bush Vice President—Dan Quayle Super Bowl XXIIIl—San Francisco 20, Cincinnati 16 Favorite Movie—Rain Man Favorite Actor—Dustin Hoffman Favorite Actress—Bette Midler Tunes of the Time—Wild Thing, Sweet Child O’Mine, | Want Her, My Perogative, When I’m With You Life in the U.S.A.

With this haunting thought in mind, | took my place at the end of the line. This room is not colorful, painted an off-white with tan floor tiles. Papers clutter the shelves that line either side of the room, and at the far end there sits a big blue coffee pot. Despite its drab appearance, the copyroom is undoubtedly one of the most important as well as frustrating places to be at GHS. “The copy machine jams, and it prints little black dots all over everything,’’ Mrs. Becky Blotkamp, extracurricular secre- tary said. “The problem is that the machine is overworked, therefore it doesn’t workl’’ Mrs. Susan Bergdall, assistant principal’s sec- retary, explained. While the copy machine breaks down, so do the people waiting in line. “It doesn’t bother me unless | have something pressing to get copied, then everybody is waiting in line, and you have to wait five people deep to make copies,” Mrs. Blotkamp said. “After a while it gets frustrat- ing, always trying to figure out the problem,” Mrs. Janet Getts, principal’s secretary, commented. Although the copy machine is a helpful invention, at times one has to wonder. Office assistant Florence Leland said, ‘Sometimes I think it can’t copy two sides. If there are other people waiting in x line, it can be embarrassing.” Moving slowly up in the line | looked from face to face. Frequently glancing at their watches, the others sighed impa- tiently. After a moment’s indecision | turned and left the copy room feeling familiarly frustrated. It was time to start writing out those notes. —Tina Carlin A Year of Change s GHS students hit A the classrooms for the first day of the 1988-89 school year little did they know of the upheaval to come. After the hottest and driest summer since the Dust Bowl, Canada’s Ben Johnson was stripped of his Olympic gold medals in Seoul and fires charred 995,000 acres of Yellowstone Na- tional Park. Fires lasted the whole summer and just missed burning Old Faithful Inn. The rest of the year would seem to be a piece of cake. But things heated back up in November with Bush and Dukakis trading insults and innuendos as they went down to the wire in the Presidential election. And the winner is ... Bush coming out ahead to be inaugurated the 4lst President of the United States with Indiana’s own Dan Quayle as his Vice-President. Back in the Hoosier state Evan Bayh was elected the first Democratic Gov- ernor since the ’60’s. The year was also one of celeb- rity upheaval. The love affair and marriage of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and actress Robin Givens lasted only months and ended in a mudslinging divorce. Confessions of TV evangelists were in vogue as Jimmy Swaggart, following the lead of Jim and Tammy Bakker, tearfully confessed on TV his trysts with prostitutes. j TV talk shows were dubbed “trash TV” with Geraldo Rivera leading the pack.

Salman Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses denouncing Islamic religion caused an international uproar. The Ayatollah Khomeine issued a death threat against Rushdie. The Last Temptation of Christ brought some loud cries from the church. Pope John Paul Il issued letters denouncing the movie and asking people to boycott it. For the second straight year “The Cosby Show” earned 1 po- sition and spin-off “A Different World” came in second, placing NBC at the top of the Nielsen ratings. TV show newcomers that made the top. ten were “Roseanne” and “Empty Nest’. Not so “new” members were ‘60 Minutes”, “Cheers”, and “Golden Girls’. In the music department, Tracy Chapman took a “Fast Car” to Grammy Awards pop female art- ist, new artist and contemporary folk singer honors. Bobby McFerrin won song of the year and a writing award for “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” A new cate- gory was added this year, Best Rap Performance, which was won by D.J. Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, with “Parents Just Don't Understand.” —Teresa Wiant Mini-Mag SS Ve a 2. a CONFUSION precedes parade “We had to rush around and put flowers that fell off back on the car ten minutes before the parade started at Yoder Ford,” junior homecoming candidate Carson Claxton said. A two-car collision in the mid- dle of the homecoming parade route added to the confusion for 1988 homecoming candidates. Mrs. Darlene Bockelman, Stu- dent Council sponsor, said, “My first thought when | heard about the crash was that the parade would be late, and we wouldn't make it to the game on time. Then | thought, ‘| hope no one got hurtl’” During halftime of the Garrett DeKalb varsity football game seniors Teresa Wiant and Jerry Egolf were crowned 1988 homecoming queen and king. Teresa commented, “As | walked across the field, all | could think about was tripping and falling on my face.” Homecoming began with spir- it week during which students dressed for college day, rainbow day, and maroon and blue pride day. Friday student council members worked diligently sorting sweetheart flowers and balloons to be passed out in hon- or of homecoming. That evening candidates rode in their class’s decorated cars in a parade ending at the football field. Sophomore candidate Jeff Weaver said, ‘‘People really helped a lot with decorating the car, but they didn’t care about the outcome. They just wanted to have a good time.” Following candidate introductions, reigning queen and king Tammy Bodey and Lance Baughman presented a crown and engraved homecom- ing bracelet to Teresa while Jer- ry received a bracelet. Student council member Julie Wolf pre- sented the best car award to the junior class. Other members of the court were Lori Hunter, Jim Delauder, Nichole Myers, Carson Claxton, Tonya Lampe, Zak Shafer, Karalee Slabaugh, Jeff Weaver, Catina Hart, Rob Smith, Jonelle Coyer, Mike Helmick, Sarah Bigelow, and Ryan Craft. “It was a fun experience, but real chaos getting everything done,” freshman Jonelle Coyer commented.

There are several students at GHS whose parents teach here. Although it can be convenient, it has its bad points as well. “My dad can help me with my science homework after school when | need him, but sometimes people harass me when he disci- plines them in class,” senior Lori a Hunter said. Senior Michele Baker said, “It’s nice having my mom here when | forget my lunch money!” There are negative aspects to Mini-Mag having a parent nearby, such as, “My mother hears all the gossip about my friends at school. | like the fact that I don’t have to ride the bus to school though,” senior Beth Lemper commented. “It’s alright having my dad here when I need the car, but, on the other hand, it’s generic when he finds out everything that happens to me,” senior Teresa Wiant. “It’s especially difficult having your own son in class,” Mr. Ron- ald Weimer said, “I’m not here for my child.

For some students, however, weekends are the only time they can see that special someone from another school. “At times it can be difficult dating someone from another school because you miss them a lot while you’re apart,” senior Brad Przemielewski said. Junior Valerie Francis com- mented, “When you date a guy you don’t see every day at | Fremont Poxagon (120) OL Sr. Pk. = eneva AG New © g Corydon JJ school, it decreases the chances of getting sick of them.” Another pro for inter-scholastic dating is that, “When you finally see your girlfriend you make ev- ery moment count since you know you won't see them for a while,” senior Ed Placencia said. On the down side, “Some peo- ple give me a hard time about dating someone from a rival school, saying that I’m a traitor,” freshman Emily Hollinger said. In any case, dating people from other schools is popular. ‘“Every- one does it,” senior Brett Cramer said, “It’s a great way to keep up foreign relations!” Department of the Treasury— Internal Revenue Service U.S. Individual Income Tax Return Your first name and initial (if joint return, also give spouse’s name and initial) Present home address (number, street, and apt. no.).

Nicknames have become an im- portant part of school life at GHS. “It makes life more interesting, a different look, something out of the ordinary,’’ senior Brett Cramer commented. Some nicknames are derived from the silliest situation, such as, “When | was first born my grandma thought my name was Emily, so everyone in my family calles me ‘Em’ now”, said junior Amy Weimer. Junior Tim Custer said, “I got my nickname ‘Buckwheat’ from my little league baseball coach Rick Bush. He said he had never seen anyone get as dirty as | did, with dirt all over my face.” Aside from the usual snickers nicknames bring about, some- times they nearly replace a real name. Senior Nick York said, “Anymore, more people call me Kent than Nick.” ''4-H Builds Leadership, Promotes Better Citizenship. “” arrett High School is G represented not only in sports and academics—but in 4-H as well. 4- H members from GHS participate in a variety of projects including gardening, livestock, foods, cloth- ing, tractor, computers, wildlife, photography, and forestry. 4-H, however, is not only for people who live in the country or on a farm. Kids that live in town can participate in clothing, food preservation, forestry, or wood- working. 4-H is not only raising a pig or baking some cookies, but it is a learning experience and confidence builder as well. Senior Ron Sarrazine said, ‘4-H has helped me to be more responsible and has given me courage to achieve my future goals.” Other opportunities 4-H offers are project workshops, leadership ‘conferences, and trips to many places across the country includ- ing Washington, D.C. Senior Sam Malcolm attended the REMC Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., a trip which was awarded through 4-H. ‘4-H has made things possible for me that might not have happened if | wasn’t a member,” stated Sam. “The trip to Washington was an experience in itself. | made new friends, saw many historical and monumental sights, and got to talk to my Sen- ators and Congressman.” Sophomore Tim Lemper was the best livestock judge in the state of Indiana when he compet- ed with other team members ' from GHS in the 1987 Indiana State 4-H Livestock Judging Contest. Tim, along with his sis- ter Beth, Sam Malcolm, and Dan Holbrook participated in a Nation- al Judging Contest in Virginia where the quartet finished fourth. Tim said, “4-H builds lea- | dership and promotes better citi- — zenship. It helped improve my in- | dividual abilities and resources.” | Students from GHS have also been on the winning end of many 4-H projects. Sophomore Julie | Malcolm and senior Beth Lemper have both exhibited the Grand Champion Barrow and Gilt at the DeKalb County Fair. Senior Ron Sarrazine has produced the Grand Champion Garden. Photography, and Wildlife entries. Senior Joni Christlieb showed the Grand Champion Carcass Barrow and Senior Sam Malcolm exhibited a Grand Champion Steer and Ewe. Junior Dan Holbrook and Troy Richmond have both shown the Grand Champion Wether Lamb at the fair. Troy stated, “I spent a lot of time training, walking, and feeding my lamb. Winning is nice, but the hard work and experience will help me later in life.” These students as well as many others have also done well at the Indiana State Fair and national shows. Senior Toni Weller said, “I be- gan 4-H because my dad was a leader in my club. 4-H helped me learn about life and become a leader.” Sophomore Julie Malcolm stat- ed, “Through 4-H I have gained a better understanding of responsi- | bility and leadership skills.” Beth Lemper commented, “4-H is more than winning trophies and ribbons. It is a growing ex- perience and an opportunity to gain responsibility.” One Day They're In... Next Day They’re Out.” ne day they’re in, next day they’re out.

Senior Ed Placencia com- mented, “I really enjoyed do- ing the research report where we had to tell about our lives in the future. It was different and it wasn’t really a report.

Health P.E. een SG as BY hs Se eS SS | Mock trials, student government provide new, challenging experience for seniors Senior government classes conducted several new and in- teresting projects under the direction of first-year social studies instructor, Mr. Nate Evans. The first project was a stu- dent government for which the class elected their leaders, wrote their own constitution, planned a budget, and con- ducted their government ac- cording to the constitution they developed. Students were all involved in either the executive, judicial, or legislative branch of the government. Chuck Newman, Secretary of State, said, ‘‘Ne- gotiations to do away with nu- clear arms, hiding our nuclear arms, and blasting the other country to oblivion was a good time.” President of the U.S.S., Social Studies Brett L. Cramer, said, “I liked being in charge of everybody and felt superior to the human- oids.” Mock trials were also staged in Mr. Evans’ government classes. First semester government classes conducted a mock trial on the assassination of John F. Kennedy to decide if Lee Har- vey Oswald acted alone or was involved in a conspiracy to as- sassinate the President. Three attorneys on each side battled to prove their case while a group of nine jury members listened to evidence and formed their own ver- dicts. Biographies for the Il witnesses were researched by Mr. Nate Evans’ fourth period class while the first period class conducted the trial. Gary Gorrell, Sam Malcolm, and Ron Sarrazine were the at- torneys who tried to prove that Oswald acted alone. Mi- chelle Anderson, Michele Ba- ker, and Jamie Witherspoon were the attorneys who tried to prove that Oswald did not act alone. With a 7-2 decision, it was decided that Oswald was in- deed involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President Ken- nedy. Sam Malcolm said, ‘I felt the judges were biased because there is so much speculation on the whole ordeal.” Second semester govern- ment classes conducted a mock murder trial in which the prosecution attempted to find Mike Mean guilty of the mur- der of Candy Kane. = In the second period class Dean Weimer, Heather Marti, and Matt Sobieski were the de- fense attorneys while Jerry Egolf, Matt Smith, and Brian Johnson represented the pros- ecution. | In the fifth period class Troy Bigelow, Jason O’Connor, Nick York, and Chris Hedges repre- sented the prosecution and re- presenting the defendant were Tina Carlin, Mark Lung, and Ed Placencia.

Getting help on an assignment, senior Janice Curtis goes over her computers homework with Mr. Rick Kirkton. Business lab offers job opportuntties Changes in the business lab program this year allowed stu- dents an opportunity to exper- ience a job while enhancing their business skills. “Business lab program is very realistic to the business world today. | would like to have more students involved,” said Mrs. Mary Wolf, teacher of Business Laboratory. Mrs. Wolf explained, ‘The class- room experience can be prac- tically applied in the work world. The students use what they have learned earlier in school. Some things they learn include proofreading and com- munication skills, filing, repro- duction and a practice set dealing with the tasks of a medical or legal secretary.” Finishing their work in Mr. Rick Kirk- ton’s computers class, senior Dean Weimer and junior Melisa Mansfield debug a program. Business Nine juniors and seniors were enrolled in the program, which consists of two-hour classes and on-the-job training at the end of the year at com- munity businesses. A first-hand look at the world of business is the main objective of the six-week job experience at the end of the program. Senior Janice Curtis said, “The class sounded like fun, | enjoyed working with the people at Insurance Trustees, and | learned a lot.” Senior Shari Thrush com- mented, ‘Il was interested in business, so | decided to take business lab. | worked at the Garrett State Bank, and | really enjoyed what | did there.” —Toni Weller Taking time out of Mrs. Mary Wolf’s class, senior Julie Wolf helps decorate the locker commons for basketball sectional spirit week.

Their memories have ranged from the ordi- nary to the extraordinary. “‘My best memory was when Melinda Norden (as a seventh grader) won third place nationally for her movie script of DUNE,” said Mrs. Beth Grogg. Coach Rick Kirkton’s most memorable moment was the football game in 1986 against perennial powerhouse East Noble, It was the first time Garrett beat the Knights in many years. Mr. Roger Weimer cited being winning coach of the faculty basketball team over WANE I5 as his most memo- rable experience. Mrs. Jean Lewis’ memora- ble moment was also her most embarrassing experi- ence. Her “sticky” situation occurred in study hall when she sat down in her seat, which was covered with superglue. Mrs. Becky Fekete stated, “My most memorable mo- ment was when my class won the Special Olympics state cross country meet.” Mrs. Nancy Feagler’s most memorable moment happened while she was coordinator of the academic teams. “It was when we won state in math last year,” she said. “Canned food filled the room,” stated Mrs. Darlene Bockelman remembering the very successful Canned Food Posing for the cameraman, Mrs. Becky Blotkamp and Mrs. Sharon Hunt stop on a walk through the Bo- tanical Gardens at the prom.

Mr. Tony Oneal said his most memorable moment was, “When | was offered a full-time job after Miss Spiteri left.” Mr. Mark Ober’s most memorable experience was simply, “Meeting Mr. Novy.” The “Colored Honkies’” rap performance of MACBETH for an English project pro- vided Mrs. Beth Beer’s unique memory. Mr. Bob Novy, who has been doing PA for I5 years, said he can remember his most thrilling experience as if it were yesterday. It hap- pened when he was announcing a game against West Noble, and _ he overheard a West Noble fan say that the U.S. Olympic hockey team had defeated the Russians for the gold medal. Mr. Novy stated, “People roared. I’ve never seen the crowd so stirred.” Mr. Dave Wiant and Mr. Ron Weimer both cite football events as their most memora- ble experiences at GHS. Mr. Weimer said his memory was “Beating the Auburn Red Devils in football (as a GHS student) in 1956.” Mr. Wiant said his memory was, “When | coached the football team that won the state champion- ship in 1974.” —Ron Sarrazine —Gary Gorrell at eR A Tt 2S i ri a. aR, Ca ra ———— JOY KENT Counselor, P.E.

November’s “big” event was OEA’s annual semi-formal to the theme of “Winter Wonder- land’’. Shari Thrush was crowned queen with Jeni Christlieb, Stephanie Rugman, Vicky Gamble, Heather Marti, and Jan Curtis as her court. Mr. Barrie Fleetwood was on hand for couples who wished to have pictures taken. Colors were green and white with mu- sic by Music Perfection. To raise additional money OEA sponsored a dance in De- cember and sold M M’s in Jan- uary. OEA Superstars took place in March with the junior class team winning first place. The senior class came in a close second. Art Club was active throughout the year beginning with a record raffle in Decem- ber and a dance in January. In mid-March they went ona field trip to the Fort Wayne Art Museum, where students saw various paintings, land- scapes, different works, and a Tri Kappa art show containing current artist’s works and pro- ductions. At the Little 500, members air-brushed designs on T-shirts and sold charcoal grilled hot dogs. A student art show was con- ducted at the end of May. Stu- dents entered works in various media. Winners in each medium were colored pencil drawing, Jon Kruger; pencil drawing, David Quinn; pen and ink drawing, Tom Davis; ceramics, Tim Custer; chalk drawing, Ja- mie Kemerely; print making, Colby Clauss; painting, David Quinn. Colby Clauss was the Purchase Prize Award winner. John Jones, Art Club vice president, commented, ‘This year’s Art Club was one of the best because we always had an activity going on and were planning something for the fu- ture.” Auto Club’s main activity was an overnighter in January. Members played baseball, football, and, as Brett Pepple said, ‘just had a great time.” Advisor Dave Andrews said, “To make up for a slow year in 1988-1989, Auto Club already has many events planned for next year.” —Tony Relue Smiling proudly, sophomore Tom Da- vis poses next to his pictures which won first place in the art show.

Tina Carlin gave the invo- cation, followed by senior class president Jason O’Con- nor’s welcome. Jason said, “ Through the years this class has learned to improvise, adapt, and overcome all the challenges it has faced.” Beth Lemper presented her salutatory address in which she said, ‘Today marks a turning point in our lives and in the lives of our families. When we succeed, the victo- Graduation ry will be ours to celebrate, and when we fail, the defeat will be ours to suffer through and to learn from.” Under the direction of Mr. Gary Gerke the choir sang “Wall Tall” and “Till We Meet Again” before Gary Gorrell gave his valedictory address. Gary said, “Not only is this a turning point for us at Gar- rett, but it is also a turning point for the world. Some of us may become world leaders, shaping international policies.

How well a student does on the SAT will determine which college he gets into and whether or not he receives a scholarship. To help prepare for the SAT, some math and English teachers, such as Mrs. Dar- lene Bockelman, an llth grade English teacher, quiz their students periodically through- out the year. Each year the SAT is ad- ministered in DeKalb County in early November and again in early May. If students wish With shoes off, juniors Andrea Fields, Joyce Boltz, Karen Isham, and Stacey Parr relax during semi-formal. Juniors to take it on another dae, they may go to a different county. A list of the sites and dates is on the back of the SAT registration booklet. Most students prefer to wait until the latest possible date. Said junior Rachel Burlage, “I’m waiting as long as | can so that | will hopefully know more by then.” The myths that seniors who have already taken the SAT spread around to scare underclassmen is another fac- tor contributing to the anxiety in taking the SAT. Said junior Carson Claxton, “I just hope it’s not as hard as they say it is.” —Thom Fleckenstein Purchasing Easter candy at Keltsch’s, junior Scott Bishop blows a bubble while being checked out by senior Debbie Vojtkofsky.

Studying can mean many different things. It can refer to cramming for an important geometry test or simply reading a poem in a literature book. There is no doubt studying (or refusing to study) plays an important role in every high school stu- dent’s life. Everybody has his her own personal study habits. For example, some people have a special position or place in which they sit. “| have to be sitting in the middle of the living room floor with the television on,” stated Heather Morrison. Tim Lemper replied, “I sit at my desk with the radio on low, the TV on but with no volume, a picture of Richard Lugar on my left, a picture of Ronald Reagan on my right, and a theasarus for long, bor- Kyle Creager Rick Crunk Ivy Custer Shane Custer Gracy Daniels Tom Davis Tonya Davis Michelle Delucenay Sarah Demske Eric Derloshon Dustin Deuitch Lisa Dills Sophomores Sophomores reveal rare study habits ing, dull answers for English and Mrs. Eastes.” While some people sit in strange positions, others need a certain mood or at- mosphere to get the brain waves flowing. “I can’t have complete silence. | have to have the ra- dio on in order to concen- trate on my homework,” ex- plained Sonya Chittenden. Julie Malcolm commented, “| need to have the radio or TV on when I’m doing my homework. The radio puts you in the mood. A fast song makes you work faster, while a slow song makes you work slower. But when I’m studying for a test, | need complete silence or else | lose my con- centration.” No matter how you look at it, study habits differ greatly. But why change your style if it makes the grade? —Lori Hunter While doing a lab in physical science class, sophomore Nate Vermeulen masses out an unidentified sub- stance.

Sometimes this feeling of exhilaration is shattered by what is often referred to as a clique. Nerd, surf dog, average, prep, snob and rapper. Do these names remind you .of anyone you know? “Yes, those names remind © me of someone | know. | think just about every school has these types, and | fall under the average group. People be- come grouped by their type and the way they act,” com- mented freshman Tanya Przmielewski. Another freshman, Doug Shetterly, had similar feel- ings. “Yes, this school has many groups. This year I’ve sort of fallen into my own group. In junior high there were maybe two groups to be in. Now that I’m in high school there are about five or six groups. Many people don’t like to associate with me be- cause | dress different from everyone else which is sort of ‘racism.’ People should open their eyes and journey out and try to make new friends outside of their own groups. Even though they may look different, they can still be a very nice person.” Pam Hofferman stated, “Yes, this school definitely has its groups. | HATE it too, I don’t like to place myself in a group because I talk and hang around with everybody. I don’t care what anybody else thinks; that’s just the way | am. People are stereotyped because of their attitudes. Some people think they’re better than others because of their clothes, money, or the ability to do something. It’s not fair for anybody to do that because you shouldn't judge people by how they look.” For better or worse, cliques are a reality at GHS, and freshmen like people the world over feel the effects of being included or excluded from the group of their choice. —Amanda Steward Freshmen Sam Titus, Nick Wilhelm, Jeremy Nodine, Bobby Hixson, Brent Weller and Chris Boles form their own clique at a home basketball game.

Mike Tullis—In the 1920's to 1930's in the United States be- cause of all the great baseball players like Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robin- son.

Missy Jordan—Far in the future. One reason would be because of the computerized cars that they talk about now that they’re going to have later.
