Juniors Rhonda Little and Heather Johnson sit outside to catch up on some school work. SPEAKING AT F.C.A. NIGHT is Mr. James Rat Saunders, a youth minister at an area church. A new direction Hey! How was your summer? Oh, it was all right. I went to the Falls a lot and got a decent tan. Yeah. I had a good tan, too. but it's starting to fade. Oh. well, we won’t be getting much sun in here. Well, at least it’s our senior year.” Did you hear about that new state policy that says no clubs or assemblies during school? What?!” Yeah, the state decided we needed more time in the classroom itself, so we can't get out of class for anything. They’re even talking about extending the school day.” What? No way! We spend enough time here. Well, it’s the law and 1 guess were stuck with it. When the doors opened on Sept. 4. the students found out they were stuck with the new ruling. Not only did a rule pass against any clubs or thuses during school, but some other changes came about that kept the students and administration at Grafton High moving in a NEW DIRECTION. Classes moved in a NEW DIRECTION as the school day began at 8:30 instead of the usual 8:4V. and classes did not end until 3:3V two minutes later than the previous years. The reason this came about was due to state policy 23-10. WE RE NUMBER ONE! is what senior football players Todd Layhcw and Jim Poling signal shortly after the Bearcats became the AA state champs. 2 Introduction BEFORE THE F.C.A. MEETING, members Steve Hussion. Eric Shaw and Steve Frame, seniors, talk awhile outside. I HE NEW BELL SCHEDULE confused a lot of students and teachers. To avoid this problem. Mr. Keith Takarsh. shop teacher, instructs his students about the new schedule. Introduction 3 STUDENTS LARRY WEAVER. Scott Sanubanez. and Becky Thaxton look over an area college presentation at the annual College Fair. . . . new direction Principal Greg Cartwright explained. The State Board of Education adopted the policy called 25-10. It called for the school to have 545 instructional minutes per day; we only had 328. The time added on to school lengthened the students' learning. In addition to this, all clubs and extra-curricular activities during school were abolished. As the school moved in a NEW DIRECTION. so did the county. During the November election, area residents voted on two important amendments that affected the educational system. School prayer was voted in with a moment of silence being observed beginning in January, but later that month it came to a halt due to a preliminary injunction issued by I'.S. District Judge Elizabeth Hal- lanan. The much-needed Amendment 4 (for the betterment of schools) was voted down in the county. The state moved in a NEW DIRECTION as Arch Moore once again became Governor and Jay Rockefeller took a seat in the Senate. For the nation. Ronald Reagan was reelected for a second consecutive term as President, it was a first for women as Geraldine Ferraro appeared on the ticket as Walter Mondale's (Reagans opponent) running mate. All of the changes in the county, state and nation eventually affected the student body. The students found themselves facing a new school year which would move in a NEW DIRECTION. 4 Introduction FUTILELY ATTEMPTIMG TO do his homework is Andre Palmetere. ON THEIR WAY to school. Mike Carrey and Eddie Moore hoof it CONCENTRATING ON A test. Christy Mavle works hard. Introduction 5 While the school year wore on. it seemed students had a hard time finding things to do that kept moving in a NEW DIRECTION. Trips to the Meadowbrook Mall satisfied a lot of students' need to just get out. Another form of entertainment for students was the chance to listen to their favorite artist. In the musical department, the names like Bruce The Boss ' Springsteen, Prince, Chicago. Cyndi I.auper and Tina Turner were dominate. For weekends, students headed to the theaters to see movies like Beverly Hills Cop. The Terminator. Vision Quest. The Breakfast Club. Purple Rain and Splash. DURING THE CHRISTMAS parade, the band celebrates both Christmas and the new AA football champs. Piccolo players Mary Bunner, freshman, and Adrienne Brown, sophomore, march down Main Street. Student Life 7 There was always something going on at school. A football or basketball game, the Prom, or Homecoming were just some of the events that kept students moving in a NEW DIRECTION. Homecoming highlights As the night of the Homecoming drew nearer, excitement and tension could be felt in the air. Spirit Week came with Hat, Nerd, Funk vs. Preppy, and Blue and Gold Days. On Thursday. Student Council members could be found decorating the hallways with blue and gold streamers. Princesses were chosen by the student body and the queen was picked by the football team. Seniors Erin Faulkner and her escort Sonny Wright reigned as king and queen for the night. A large crowd was out as the Bearcats came on the Field to beat the Frankfort Falcons. 12-6.

Juniors Becky Thaxton and Pam Shreve decorate the lockers. . . . highlights A parade through downtown and the spirit-building thuse were the highlights of the week. In a skit to entertain the crowd, the majorettes and cheerleaders switched jobs. To imitate the majorettes' field show, the cheerleaders danced to Fierro. Instead of the usual long stemmed rose, the squad held large tissue paper flowers in their teeth. On Saturday night, Oct. 13. the annual dance was held in the Clair Bee Field House with Kevin Nicholas from WVAQ providing the music.

A case of Monday blues As you roll into bed after a night of cramming for a test, you are reminded by the radio that tomorrow is Monday. For some reason that one little word seems to have a devastating effect on teenagers. You cuddle dow n in your blankets and drift off to sleep. As 6 a.m. approaches, the sun peeks through the windows to awaken you to a new day. R-R-I-I-N-N-G-G! ! Somehow Monday has snuck up on you. At that, you roll over to catch Just one more minute. Mom . Your blink of sleep turns into 15 minutes. and you’re running late. Being the semi-neat person you are. you find the remaining 10 minutes aren't enough to meet your requirements. So. you miss the bus. and Mom takes you to school. Later, lunch time rolls around. While at your locker, fond memories of your brown paper bag cross your mind. The beast in your stomach has turned loose. While you finish disturbing class, your favorite teacher bombards you with homework. If these symptoms sound familiar, then you've had a classic case of the MONDAY BLUES. CLASS WORK gets the brain working on a Monday as Kristy Currey looks over an assignment for Computer class. 12 Mondays STARTING ANOTHER WEEK. Mr Bill McProuty takes the role.

Senior Sonja Scrana e takes time before the bell to brush her hair. Mondays l 3 ALWAYS KEEPING WITH the styles is Junior Jim Golden, who often sports the preppy look. WALKING WITH A friend during lunch. Freshman Robyn Ringler wears the sweater vest, which made a big hit on the fashion scene. 14 Fashions Keeping with the times With all the styles of clothes, one sometimes wonders what to wear. Dressy, preppy, punk or casual.' The 'Preppy look became a fashion frequently seen at school. A preppy outfit (usually costing around S150) consisted of an oxford shirt, striped pleated pants, initial leather belt, penny loafers, argyle sweater vest and a knit tie. BEFORE GOING IO class, the photographer catches Martv Miller. Many guys and girls wore ties with their outfits. When cooler weather hit the area, the New Wave” look could easily be seen. Leather pants, mini skirts and fluorescent clothes made with electric purple were among the in things. Although fluorescent clothes were cheaper than preppy (usually S50), jeans remained the cheapest fashion asset, costing around S20 to S30. As for the majority of students, the decision of what to wear dealt with what was clean when getting up in the morning. THE CASUAL LOOK is still the most comfortable and most often worn of ail the fashions. MUSCLE SHIRTS AND the mini came back in style. Sophomores Paula McVicker and Kim Brad-dock take time out to ham it up during lunch. Fashions 15 16 Working part-time Working hard for the money Some students go home to study while others go out to work. They feel that it gives them a feeling of independence. The need for money and college savings are the main reasons why students work. Many local grocery, department stores and fast food restaurants are main sources of employment for most students. Babysitting is a good source, also. Senior Catherine Tighe explained, The biggest reason that I babysit is that I need the money. It seems that most students have the same thing to say about working part-time. Senior Kevin Bolyard worked a seven-hour day and a four-day week at McDonalds. He says that the work is hard but he likes the money. With all the working that students do, one often wonders when they find time to do anything else. Junior Penny Sevier, who works at Foodland said, I do my homework before or after work. Also, 1 like the money, and I like to spend it. This may be the best reason for all students to work. They just love to spend money. ATTEMPTING TO FIX his pricing gun is Senior Bryce Findley. Working part-time 17 WORKING HARD.

Keeping the 'tradition’ Tradition was the one word that this year’s spring musical seemed to center around. Throughout the show, one could see the different traditions” that clashed. The setting was 1905 Russia, just before the Revolutionary Period broke out, and the conflicts were between the Russian Jews and their fellow countrymen. Ideals among the young were changing, and the older village people had a hard time accepting them. They wanted to keep the traditions alive. Of course, the show was Fiddler on the Roof.” After months of hard work, dedication and endurance, the stage was set. Last minute jitters seemed to be everywhere on Friday, May 3, before curtain time. But, as Tradition, the opening number, came off without a hitch, it was obvious that all the grueling rehearsals had been worth it. Of course, things didn’t always run that smoothly. When rehearsals began in January, many cast members had to concentrate on the accents of their characters. And during mid-January, nine of the leading characters attended a workshop at Northbend State Park. Those who attended were Brad Criss, who had the lead role of Tevye, the dairyman; Kevin Dean as Motel, the tailor; Bryce Findley as Perchik, the student; Catherine Harman as Yente, the matchmaker; Vici Johnson, as Chava, Tevye s daughter; and Charlene Kinsey as Tzeitel, another daugher. All of the above were seniors. Juniors Cheryl McDaniel, who played Hodel. another daughter of Tevye, and Pam Shreve, playing Tevye's wife Golde. also attended the workshop. Mr. Ken Godwin, choral director, was also the director for the play. He and Mr. Gregg Brown, artistic director, chaperoned the characters to the workshop. Mr. David Wanstreet of West Virginia University donated his services as the choreographer for the play. Mr. Geary Rollins and Mr. Charles Wiseman assisted with the lighting and the sound. This show was the biggest production in the school's history. The cast numbered 120 with various crews and other patrons offering help. TEVYE AND HIS neighbors are stunned after they learn that they have been evicted from their village. TRADITION.

'tradition’ l J Due to the 17 snow days, the show had to be cancelled for one week in order to get in the necessary practice. The practice paid off, and, according to the student body, the play was a success. I really enjoyed myself, said Danielle Heston, freshman. Australian exchange student Brett Bourke said, It s one of the best shows I've ever seen. Everything about it was so professional. We've done shows back home, but never anything like this. A number which immediately received applause was the Bottle Dance. Four young men balanced bottles on their heads while juggling other bottles. They also formed a line, going onto their knees and into a standing position again, still with the bottles placed on their heads. The most talked about number was the Dream sequence, where Tevye tells his wife Golde about his horrible dream. It had ghosts of family members and friends, even the nine foot tall Fruma — Sarah. She was formed by Larry Weaver, junior, and alumni Joy Steadman, who sat on his shoulders. The special effects, ranging from a spinning bed to fog, kept the audience in suspense. By Sunday afternoon, after the last note was sung and everyone had left, the actors felt that they had done a job well done and had kept the tradition of the school musical. 20 Spring Musical PATIENTLY ENDURING THE effects of spirit gum Senior Rich Ellington waits while Junior Becky Setler adjusts his beard.

THE BEARDS FOR the village men. displayed here by Kevin Dean, senior, were made by Kim Mitchell and Becky Seller, juniors. Spring Musical 21 Selling seniors as slaves Hey, have you seen Bertha Butt yet? an excited freshman could be heard asking her friend. 'Who on earth is Bertha Butt?” her friend asked. It's Peggy Watkins. She's a senior and the editor of the newspaper, she explained. Then why are you calling her Bertha Butt? Because it's Senior Slave Day and someone dressed her up like that, the freshman answered. Oh . . . was her friend's reply. That was nearly the same reaction displayed by many freshmen as the annual Senior Slave Day was held May 3. As always, the seniors sponsored the Slave Day in order to raise money to cover last-minute graduation expenses. It was also one of the best ways for an underclassman to get back at a senior who had harassed them all year. Needless to say, senior athletes went very quickly. Examples could be Todd Bolyard and Keith Cole, both big, husky football players who were dressed up as babies. And, of course, who would ever forget Mario Casella a sort of unofficial school mascot, in his skin-tight mini-dress and silver go-go boots. All seniors were put on the auction block at $2 each. They had a chance to purchase themselves before they went on sale to the public, but few did. One of the few was Brad Criss. He said, It was rather wild to see some of the other seniors make fools of themselves, but Slave Day was an exciting, yet safe way to raise money. And raise money it did. All in all, the sale of 68 slaves resulted in $136. Chris Lantz served as the senior class president. YOUNG LOVE IS displayed here by Senior Keith Birdsell and his girlfriend. Sophomore Julie Robinson, who bought him for the day. 22 Senior Slave Day SHOWING OFF A body that just won't quit is Senior Mark Mario Casella. He was just one of the many who dressed in clothing of the opposite sex. SOME PEOPLE WILL do almost anything to help the cause, such as Senior Bryce Findley, who displays one of his girlfriend s outfits. WAITING IN THE lunch line gives Senior John Arnold time to decide which is better: food or a pacifier. Senior Slave Day 23 Ahead of the crowd Leading the crowd and building exciting new mounts were familiar habits of the cheerleaders, keeping them AHEAD OF THE CROWD. To learn these new habits , the cheerleaders went to the United States Cheerleading Association camp at Marshall University in July. The varsity squad brought home the first runner-up trophy, the skit award, and a spirit award. Senior |oyce Kiger Smith received an individual award. During the summer, the cheerleaders had to raise money to attend this camp. They held a car wash, a bake sale, and a road block. They raised enough money to pay for half the expense of camp. All the hard work from practices and games paid off when the football team won the state championship. The feeling a job well done was expressed when the loyal fans gave the players and cheerleaders a parade. A couple of weeks after football season, basketball season came in focus for the cheerleaders. More work practicing new mounts, stunts and jumps had to be done. This season was long, but when the team returned to states for another possible state championship, it made the squad feel worthwhile. Although getting to the basketball game in Charleston caused a little controversy, the cheerleaders managed to travel with the students on the buses. It was also the year for changes. Senior Joyce Kiger Smith, head cheerleader, quit the squad, and Junior Cheryl McDaniel took over her head position. The mascot, Missy Hedrick, was replaced by Freshman Becky Gaines. At the state tournament, Becky was selected by a panel of judges as All-State mascot. Another change was the uniform for the mascot. Many local businesses contributed money and bought both the mascot and all three squads new uniforms. Cheerleading is not as easy as everyone thinks. said Head Coach Terri Zuspan. It involves much more than jumping and yelling at games. Miss Lisa Jones, teacher, served as assistant coach. AT THE STATE championship game, the cheerleaders take time to unite before the game begins. 24 Cheerleaders EVEN IN THE RAIN, Cheryl McDaniel, junior.

Starting with the movies, the latest crazes went to Beverly Hills Cop. Police Academy, and for the horror hour, Friday the 13th returned with Part 5. My weekends are at the movies with Police Academy and Friday the 13th. Part V said Junior Donna Bradley. Music kept the beat with students listening to Madonna's Like a Virgin, Crazy for You and Material World. The top male vocalist was Bruce The Boss Springsteen with his recordings of Born in the I'.S.A. and I'm on Fire. Springsteen and 44 other American singers joined voices and formed U.S.A. For Africa, a crusade for Africa's hungry. Their song We Are the World, hit the top of the charts in April. Tastes in music varied just as student's personalities varied. I enjoy INXS and Midnight Oil and Split Enz, said Brett Bourke, senior exchange student. Junior Kim Mitchell favored the more mellow music. I like Heaven by Bryan Adams and Crazy for You by Madonna. Magazines kept students informed about fashions and events. The girls' top magazine was Teen, while the boys favored more of a sport magazine. Of course, my favorite is Sports Illustrated. said Rusty Watkins, junior. Other sources of entertainment included books. I like lonathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, said Senior Charlene Kinsey. Some live entertainment was provided for students when Chicago presented a concert at WVU in February and Cyndi Lauper appeared earlier in the fall at Fairmont State College. Entertainment 27 Getting wet in Florida Marching down Main Street U.S.A., visiting Disney World, swimming in the freezing water and riding the slides at Wet 'N Wild were just part of the activities the band participated in when visiting Florida in March. Before going to Florida, the band had football season to tend with. Practice began in July with 105 students meeting at school. During the second week of August, they attended band camp at Cedar Lakes in Ripley. They practiced putting the field show together and held sectionals. After school began, they returned to football half time with such numbers as Rockit. choreographed by Senior Vici Johnson, and Broadway, made up by Leslie White and Allison Fitzwater. juniors. AT DISNEY WORLD, the clarinet section of the band plays Fierro for the crowd. TAKING A BREAK from the sites at Epcot Center. Sophomore Becky Hussion sits and enjoys a cup of ice cream. WITH FLAGS BLOWING in the Florida breeze. Leslie Tighe. Diane Runner and Anna Brown, sophomore flag corps members, march down Main Street USA. In order to have the music and steps perfected for Florida, the members came to school at night and marched 15 laps through the halls balancing books on their heads. To raise money for the trip, members sold fruit and calendars, had a tag day and received donations. They also sold pizza in which they received the profits. Not only was raising the money hectic, but so was the schedule. They left for Florida on Sunday, March 17, and arrived at Daytona Beach on Monday. While there, they swam in a chilly Atlantic and later that day visited the Epcot Center. On Tuesday the students went to Disney World where they rode Space Mountain and walked through the Flail of Presidents. At 1:00 that day, they marched through Main Street U.S.A. and later stayed at the park until 9:00. The sun greeted a day at Wet 'N Wild where the band spent the majority of the day riding water slides. It was spectacular, said Sophomore Missy Hedrick. Wet N Wild was the best part of the trip. On Thursday, the band visited Sea World in the rain. The trip home began that night and the charter buses pulled into the school parking lot around noon on Friday. Mr. Norman Adlington, band director, received help from 23 chaperones in managing the 100 students who went to Florida. 28 Band Trip A RIDE AROUND the park is one good way to tour Epcot Center. Patty Miller. Carla McMullen and Becky Hussion, sophomores, would rather ride than walk to sec the sites. IN STEP, flutists Shelly Edwards. Mary Bunner. Adrienne Brown and Gina Tansill lead the band. Band Trip 29 A traveling troupe The 17 members of the Entertainers Edition XIV danced and sang their way from Grafton to Erie. PA, to Ocean City, MD, during the year. The select group went to Erie in November where they performed for dignitaries and officials of the Shriners Club. While there, they also visited Lake Erie and sang at a children's hospital and later spent time talking with patients. Four times during the year, the swing show choir performed for senior citizens at the Sheraton Inn in Clarksburg. They attended a workshop at Glenville State College where they sang for a group of music education majors. The college students in turn shared knowledge and experiences with the group. Locally, the group performed at Anna Jarvis for the Shriners and put on numerous performances at the Good Shepherd Church for Women's Clubs, a DECA banquet and Quota Club. They also sang for Rotary and Kiwanis at Four Corners Restaurant. The only performance given at the school was the annual winter concert. The program included Riders to the Stars. Em-braceable You and Puttin' on the Ritz. On the comical side, they performed a clown routine made of commercial jingles. With body bags made of colorful polyester, a dance routine was done to Hallejuah by the Stars on 45. Dance routines were choreographed by Brad Criss, Kevin Dean, Catherine Har- WHILE IN CHARLESTON, the Entertainers sing for Governor Arch Moore Jr. 30 Entertainers man and Vici Johnson, seniors, after they attended the Illinois Swing Show Choir Camp over the summer. One of the highlights of the year included being selected to sing at the inauguration of Governor Arch Moore Jr. in January. The group, along with Mr. Ken Godwin, director; Mr. Greg Cartwright, principal; and Mr. Ron Dellinger, superintendent of schools, traveled to Charleston for the event. After working hard all year, the choir went to Ocean City during June 4 to 6. The purpose of this trip was just relaxation. Money collected during the year's performances went toward this trip. Mr. Russell Walls, librarian, traveled with the Entertainers as their sound man. The ensemble performed with eight instrumentalists, also students. ENJOYING A STOP at Lake Erie, the Entertainers and their chaperones take some time for fun during their busy schedule. AT THE GOVERNOR'S inauguration, the choir sings What I Can Do For You.

Inspirational evening Many people think that the Prom is just a formal, a tux, pretty decorations and a nice theme, but a lot of hard work and planning went into that special night. The theme You're the Inspiration, by Chicago, was chosen by the Junior Class while princesses were selected by the Junior and Senior Classes. Long before the lights came up and the music came on, some important decisions had to be made. Under the direction of Mr. Ken Godwin Jr., head of the Choral department, the decorations, band and other arrangements were made. Many girls planning to attend the Prom started looking for gowns in early January while others waited until the last minute. When the big night finally arrived all the hard work and preparation came together. Crepe paper hung from the ceiling. The Junior Class members decorated Wednesday night and Thursday and Friday during school to prepare for the annual event on April 27. The gym looked as if it were transformed into a ballroom. Candles flickering on the tables and columns and floral centerpieces set the mood with purple streamers. 32 Prom THE CENTERPIECE PROVIDES a nice backdrop for a slow dance for Seniors Mike McKinney, Tammy Killebrew, Erin Faulkner, and Keith Tucker.

BEFORE THE CEREMONY begins, the class members slowly File onto the field to be seated. 36 Graduation Saying goodbye The rain didn't pour on June 3; the clouds just threatened the 159 graduating seniors and the faculty, parents and friends who had come to watch the annual event. A bad thunderstorm with hail hit the area around 10:30 a.m. and it rained off and on during the day, but towards evening, the skies cleared and the sun came through. The decision was made: graduation would be held outside. Someone said there is a fine line between stupidity and bravery, said Mr. Greg Cartwright, principal, at the opening of the ceremony, concerning the weather. But, the rain held off and the evening ceremony commenced. The Senior Class lined up in the gymnasium and as 8 p.m. neared, they slowly filed their way through the east end ramp, leading outside behind the baseball field. AFTER RECEIVING HIS diploma. Rich Ellington finds his way back to his seat. The class and the participating faculty members were seated to the music of Hail Land All Glorious played by the school band. Salutatorian Christi Moats said the opening invocation and a few words to her classmates. Mr. Cartwright then presented a plaque to Christi for her rank in her class. Before Valedictorian Jeff White presented his address, the band played The Long and Winding Road. White then addressed his classmates, telling them to take chances in life. Four senior choir members, Brad Criss, Kevin Dean, Catherine Harman and Vici Johnson, sang How Do We Say Goodbye ! Nora Louk, '84 valedictorian, helped Mr. Cartwright and Mr. Tom Talerico, assistant principal, present 15 members of the class the President's Academic Fitness Awards.

We were defeated as the golf team went through a disappointing season and elated as the Wrestling Team and Boy's Basketball Team continued in dominating ther opponents. A new and more advanced weightlifting and conditioning program was added to the sports curriculum. The main function of this program was to aid and improve the off-season athletes. Our emotions reflected our pride and joy of being Bearcats and although not always victorious, we were always aware that sports at Grafton High had taker THE RIGHT TURN. 40 Sports All of those days, weeks, and months of sweating and returning home just to go through the same routine again finally paid off as Grafton High School Sports moved in NEW DIRECTIONS. The big move for the Bearcats came when the Varsity Football Squad captured the AA State Football Championship after completing a marvelous 8-2 record in regular season play. To add to the rising enthusiasm in Bearcat sports, the Lady 'Cats did their fair share by advancing to the State AA Sectional Tournaments in Girls Basketball.

With 13 returning lettermen, Grafton could improve their 10-2 record from last year. By the end of the season, the Bearcats would prove this was their year; they would be A CUT ABOVE. During the season opener against the Philip Barbour Colts, with just 13 seconds off the clock, Grafton was shocked as the Colts' Donnie McLean took the opening kick and raced 93 yards for the first 6 points of the game. Grafton came back and was about to even the score when senior fullback Todd Layhew was hit from behind, fumbling the ball on the 14 yard line. The Bearcats held Philppi on their next 4 tries and later scored to even the game at 7 all. From then on Grafton's tail backs used up most of the clock as senior Richard Ellington compiled 94 yards and senior Steve Frame rushed for 9.3. The Bearcats went on to win the game, 33-7. Grafton continued its winning ways as they went on a three game tear, knocking off Central Preston, Washington Irving and Cameron. Against Central Preston, Layhew rolled up 138 yards. Grafton not only had a great offensive effort, but the defense pulled through, holding WI to only 36 yards. Grafton won the game, 55-7.

Brad Criss later picked up the pace for the Bearcats when he ran 64 yards for a touchdown. Homecoming was next on the schedule as the Frankfort Falcons came to town on Oct. 12. Grafton got into early trouble as the Falcons took the lead, 6-0, in the first quarter. The lead bounced back and forth during the first half, but Grafton later won the game at 13-12. Grafton's next opponent, South Harrison, was to be the most riddling game. South Harrison came out and scored quickly; then, Grafton came back on a drive to lead at 11-8 at the half. Grafton later lost the lead and never regained it. losing 28-18. Following the South Harrison game, the Cats held a 6-2 record, forcing them into a must-win situation in order to make the play-off field.

States 47 Rebounding to states Hard work and determination helped the Bearcats to a 17 6 record and the state s first round of championship games. The basketball team's practice got off to a slow start due to the fact that most of the players were being held over from the lengthened football season. In the season opener, Grafton got out to a rolling start as they gained a big win over East Fairmont, 71 59. They next faced St. Francis, losing in overtime by a 63-69 score, but they came back and won the next game against Elkins. During the next game, Grafton lost a heartbreaker to South Harrison by a score of 82-85. They won the next two games against Philippi and University. The back-to-back wins also saw back-to-back losses. Morgantown and East Fairmont both saw that the Bearcats could take defeat by taking them by 77-80 and 52-59, respectively. The team's confidence began to build as they won 13 out of the 15 remaining games and entered the regional contest. 48 Boys Basketball VARSITY BASKETBALL — Front row: manager Paul Cox.

The team wrapped up the regionals and headed for the state games. Grafton looked as if they were going to pull off a rare double back-to-back state championships in both football and basketball. But, it was not to be. After having a hot first half against Williamson, Grafton lost in a hard fight in the fourth quarter by a score of 63-72 in the Charleston Civic Center.

In the season opener against North Marion and University High, Grafton came up as second with an overall team score of 186. They seemed to be on a comeback trail in the next match: Danny Johns led the scoring with a 3 on a 9 hole, 33 par course. The Bearcats beat Washington-Irving, 177-206.

Even though the season began with a new coach and new techniques, the Lady Cats had a winning season with a record of 11-9. The season started with a win in overtime against Central Preston with the Lady Cats beating them 44-40. The next game saw the Ladies losing to University High. 22-38. As the season progressed, the Ladies had a surprising win when they upset the undefeated South Harrison team by 40-37. Another highlight of the season came as Grafton easily took Lincoln with a 70-26 score. One of the Lady Cat's most thrilling games was when they almost defeated the highly ranked Washington Irving team by a 44-49 score. Another thriller was the away game at South Harrison. With one second left. South Harrison threw a shot and made it, beating the Lady 'Cats by a 35-37 score. During the regular season of play, some of the Ladies took over leadership in the team. Holding the team together was a job for Senior Debbie Hines. Debbie Hines was our letterman, said Gallagher. Juniors Sonya Holmes and Becky Hose were the basics of leadership and ball control.” These three women lead the 12 woman squad in the sectional games. 54 Ladies Basketball SOPHOMORE USA IRWIN fights for the jump ball as her teammates look on.

The Lady 'Cats rolled over the Mountain Lions, 45-38, to advance to the semi-finals against Central Preston. According to Gallagher, free throws were the fundamentals of the game against Tucker County. It (free throw shooting) beat us the other night against University High. And we won with it tonight. We really didn't work any harder on it than we usually do. I guess it's one of those things that either makes you or breaks you, Gallagher said.

But, they held up under the pressure, taking first place in the Harrison County Invitational and the Mountain Statesman Invitational. They took second in the University High Tournament and in regionals. Grafton sent eight wrestlers to the states, but only three of these placed. Brian Smith, wrestling at 155, and Todd Layhew, who wrestled at 185, both qualified for third place in the state competition. Keith Cole, wrestling in the unlimited weight class, qualified for fourth place. The only team to beat Grafton in a dual meet was AAA Fairmont Senior.

Every game was a hard fought battle, and even though the underclassmen didn’t win any games, they never gave up. Winning all their games, the senior and junior boys and girls faced each other in the finals. The boys championship saw a game that could not be predicted until the final minutes when the seniors pulled ahead for the win, 62-43. The girls championship was an exciting game also, but it was not as close as the boys. The senior girls won by a considerable margin over the junior girls. A lot of hard work went into the class tournaments and it really paid off. Although the sophomores didn't win any games, their cheerleaders took first place for costumes and cheerleading. Using the themes of their classes, the students decorated their area of the gym. The different themes were: Freshman Forces, Sophomore Saloon, Junior Jammers, and Senior Sheiks.

Since they played power volleyball and not beach volleyball, the hardest techniques to master were the serve and the hits. The team would set up hits with a closed fist or by using the tips of the fingers. Due to bad weather, many of the games became cancelled and not rescheduled. The 17 snow days did not help with prac- tice either. When practices were held, the gym at Anna Jarvis was where the team could be found. Out of the 16 matches played, the girls finished with a 3-13 record and lost the second match in sectionals held at Bridgeport. Before the season began.

Donn Kitzmiller qualified for the finals in the discus after placing 7th in the preliminary rounds. In the finals he threw 131' 7 , his best throw of the year. The Grafton tracksters attended such meets as the Big-Ten, Buckhannon Invitational, Fairmont Times Invitational, and the Doddridge Co. Invitational. They also competed in home away meets with Tucker Co., South Harrison, Philip Barbour, North Marion, Lewis Co., and Washington Irving. Hours of lifting weights, running and lots of pulled muscles finally paid off as the boys track team sent seven athletes to the states. The state meet was held at Laid-ley Field in Charleston on May 31 and June 1. To qualify for the state meet the participants had to place 1st or 2nd in the Regional Meet. The 4x200 team of J.D. Scritchfield, Rich Ellington, Brad Criss, and Doug Mills qualified for the states by placing 2nd in the regional meet. They then qualified for the finals in the state meet on June 1st.

Their goal: to reach states and place in the annual event. By the end of May, they had obtained their goal. The season ended June 1, with 12 girls in the state track meet held at Laidley Field in Charleston. Trials for most events were held on May 31. In Saturday's finals. Becky Summers, sophomore, took first in the 400 and 800 open, while Janis Gennette. junior, placed first in the 100 meter high hurdles. For Janis, this made her third appearance in the state event, and for Becky, this made her second showing. The 4x800 team of Becky, Kristy Rollins. Anna Brown and Melissa Cooper placed sixth. Due to the fact that the 4x200 team ran out of their lane, they became disqualified. To get to states, the girls had to qualify in the regionals. In the regionals, Janis got first in the 100 hurdles, and Becky placed first in the 400. Coach Rich Bord saw that the team was fit and ready for any competition by having them run some 400s, 200s, and 100s and working out with the weightlifting machines. Events entered during the season included 4x400, 4x200, 4x100 relays, the 100, 200, 400 meters, and the 1 and 2 mile runs. During the season, the team faced three AAA schools and two AA schools.

Doing some hot hitting Scoring 300 runs and ending with an 18-12 record meant that the Bearcat baseball team was DOING SOME HOT HITTING. High expectations got the baseball team off to its start after going to the state tournaments last year. And, for a while, it looked as if the ’Cats would once again attain a place in the state games. The team won the sectional contest, advancing them to the regionals. But, they lost the first game to Washington Irving. During the regular season, the team tied the school record of the most wins in one season. This 18 win record came about due to the 'Cats scoring almost 300 runs in 30 games. Ninety of these runs came within a five day period. Senior Keith Cole lead the team in batting with a .469 average from 96 trips at bat. Cole also had the most doubles (10) and R.B.I.’s (43), while he and Steve Hussion, senior, tied with 8 homeruns each. Mike McKinney, senior, held the most hits with 49 and the most singles with 38. Senior Shane Glass lead the team with six triples. Season highlights included the double-header wins over Bridgeport and Philip Barbour; the ’Cats came from behind in the late innings to take both opponents. Other exciting victories were over Lincoln, Morgantown, and twice over Liberty, who later went on to be the Big Ten champs. In the sectional tournament, the Bearcats went wild, beating West Preston twice and Central Preston by the combined scores of 33-2. The Cats also had two new looks this year. One was the pinstriped uniforms purchased in the winter. To raise money for this, they held a bowl-a-thon at Lyn-Criss Lanes. Another new look dealt with the coaching staff. Suffering from a leg injury, Head Coach Austin Upton could not fulfill his usual position on the team.

The boys took the regional by surprise, just missing their chance to play in the regional championship by one match, qualifying them for third place in the region.

To help the athletes get stronger, the athletic department purchased a four-way neck machine, and a new leg machine, a Nauti-las chest machine. To aid the lifting program, Mr. Ed Beavers, welding teacher, took time to make three new weight benches and two weight racks. Coach Orville Wright commented that the more advanced weight room helps the athletes to become stronger and this lessens the chance of serious injury. But the weights don't really matter if the athlete himself doesn't work hard. In addition to the better weight room, a new agilities program was added. Basically this program aided the off-season” athlete in maintaining his physical condition. Much of the weight equipment was purchased by the funds raised from the Annual Life-A-Thon. Athletes participated in this event in three different weight classes. The athlete lifted the maximum weight he could lift, and the winner of each weight division was awarded a tro-phy. Placing first and second in the Heavyweight category were Donn Kitz-miller, and Rick Lake. Taking first in the middleweight class was Scott Musgrave, and Pat Shaw took second. Rusty Watkins placed first in the lightweight division, and Rodney Nose finished second. PREPARING FOR DEAD LIFTING 575 is Pat Varah. sophomore. TO KEEP IN shape.

Weightlifting 73 Going their way The student body moved in its own direction. After the school day ended, many students began the second part of their day. During these hours, they worked on an interest to excel themselves. Certain students' names appeared in the local newspaper for personal recognition. Senior football player Todd Layhew received national recognition when USA Today chose him as an honorable mention for football. Another senior, Roy Smith, became a weekend warrior when he joined the National Guard. Junior Donn Kitzmiller placed his energy into football and received a letter from the University of Tennessee, hoping to obtain him as a future player. The band kept sophomores Kelly White and Becky Summers busy as they spent hours after school practicing baton. These students were just a few of the many who brought recognition to themselves and kept the school moving in a NEW DIRECTION.

One of these was athlete Todd Layhew. Layhew was a key element throughout the football season. For him, hard work and strict discipline paid off. He was awarded such coveted positions as Big Ten First Team fullback, linebacker, and kicker, not to mention Player of the Year. He also received honors from the First Team All-State as fullback, the Mon Valley Honor Role and the USA Today Honorable Mention. Not only was Layhew successful in football but wrestling as well. He helped the wrestling squad to one of their best seasons this year. Layhew's season finished with a 30-3 record. In this sport, he took first place in the South Harrison Tournament, the Mountain Statesman Invitational, University High Tournament, North Marion Tournament and the re-gionals. He took second place at the Pepsi Tournament and the Big Ten. He wound up his season by taking third place at the states. Layhew was also involved with the track team, in which he participated in the discus and the shot. He proved successful in these events. Competing in three sports and being one of the best in all three was not easy, but Layhew proved that it could be done. AT F.C.A. NIGHT.

Seniors 77 78 Seniors Playing three roles Some of the students here at school weren't just the typical student. These students kept busy playing three different roles: student, parent and spouse. Diana (Shaw) Pinnell and Jeannie (Knotts) Bolyard. seniors, were two of these. Diana got married during her junior year. She and her husband John have a daughter named Desirea Nicole, who was born the August before Diana's senior year. It makes you feel a lot older having a baby, Diana said. She was a homebound student during the first semester of school, and when she did return to school, she found it hard leaving Desirea. I get up at 6:30 and get ready for school. She usually gets up at 7:30 because she knows I'm leaving, Diana said. Diana got to spend a lot of time with her daughter after school. She found time to do her homework when Desirea took her nap at 2:30. Jeannie had a special Christmas present when she gave birth to her son Courtney on Dec. 16. Jeannie not only was a wife and mother, but she attended three morning classes and worked part time at Anna Jarvis as a teacher's aide. Jeannie s mother took care of Courtney while she worked and went to school. HELPING HER DAUGHTER open one of her first Christmas presents is Senior Diana Pinnell.

But add to that the fact that you left a place that was beautiful, sunny, and warm. Now, for the clincher. The place that you arrived in was a frigid snow covered town that was in the middle of its coldest winter in years. Needless to say, foreign exchange gives new meaning to the phrase culture shock. For Australian exchange student Brett Bourke the above paragraph was a real life experience. Bourke arrived on Superbowl Sunday from Moree. Australia, and will be staying here in Grafton until January of 1986. Before his arrival in the States, Bourke had never seen snow. So a few days after his arrival, he and some of his new friends ventured onto the snow covered football field to build a snowman. It was so unusual to meet someone who had never seen snow before, remarked Junior Kim Mitchell, one of the participants, but once we got started he looked like he'd been doing it for years. Another humorous antic that he was involved in had to do with vegemite. Ve-gemite is an Australian delicacy and is as much a part of their diet as peanut butter is to an American's diet. As students tested the vegemite, their reactions ranged from great to absolutely horrible. I was a bit surprised that some people didn't like it, but those who did should be complimented on their fine taste.” Bourke said. The differences between American and Australian things such as sports, clothes and music are not great. According to Bourke, when he left, INXS and Bruce Springsteen were topping the charts. Although he graduated with the Class of '85, he was required to attend his own school after returning home. Bourke did mention some differences between schools here and there. In Australia, they must wear uniforms and attend school from 9:20 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. This includes 1 hour for lunch and a 20 minute morning tea. The classes were mostly the same, except. as Bourke stated, We don't have Contemporary America. PROUDLY DISPLAYING HIS first snowman. Senior Brett Bourke poses with helpers Cathy Callahan.

Some go to a concert, others go skating and some join the National Guard. At least that's what Senior Roy Smith did. He had many reasons to join, but the main one deait with the pay. I went into the National Guard because the money was good. For one weekend, you earned S85, Smith said. His one weekend' was a weekend taken out of every month where he would serve duty wherever he was told. The summer prior to his senior year. Smith went into basic training for the National Guard. Smith said a typical day of basic training consisted of the following itinerary. You get up at 4 a.m. and have 1 hour to shave and get dressed. You have to be WHILE IN BASIC training. Senior Roy Smith has his picture taken for the academy's book. outside by 5 a.m., and then you run 5 miles. After that, you eat breakfast. After breakfast, you do physical exercises, which are usually followed by some classes. You must be in by 9 p.m., clean your barracks and go to sleep by 12 p.m. Smith said that he liked basic because of the challenge. It was seriously a challenge. I didn't know what would happen the next day. Smith began his career in the service by driving the dump truck. Later, he joined the Navy due to better pay and benefits. The Navy is training me to be an aviation specialist, Smith said. He would like to repair jet engines in the future. He was stationed in the Great Lakes for the Navy's basic training, which began right after he graduated from school.

Junior John Turner sits and looks over his music for the trumpet. While most kids enjoyed their summer vacation at the beach or in the mountains having fun, others spent it improving their abilities in various fields. One such person was Junior John Turner, who attended the Andover Summer Session located near Boston. Turner found out about the session from '84 graduate Melba Fox, who took an archeology course there the summer before. Turner decided to take his class in music during a six week period from June to August. A typical day for Turner at Andover began at 7:30 a.m. During the day, he studied under the supervision of Vincent Monoco. These classes occurred three times a week. During his studies, he played with a brass quintet and had the opportunity to play with an orchestra on Beethoven's symphony. It helped me grow up a lot. Turner said. I became a more responsible person.” Turner received a full tuition scholarship for the summer of '84 sessions, and he received one for this summer.

There is only one junior that fits this description, Donn Kitzmiller. Kitzy', an offensive tackle for the football team, has always played line positions and was the only junior who earned the honor of being a Boulder Brother. His first year as a starter came in 1984, but playing football was nothing new to Kitzmiller. I've been playing football for seven years. I began in Pee Wee League in Grafton. then moved on to Pop Warner, and now I'm playing high school ball. Impressed by Kitzy s playing abilities. the coaches of West Virginia Wesley- an and the University of Tennessee contacted him about possibly playing ball for them after graduation. I was surprised about hearing from them, he said. I’d been recommended as a major college football recruit.” Kitzy , who visited the Tennessee campus in April, attended a football camp there in June. Kitzmiller finished his junior year by being a member of the track and field team. He was also a member of the wrestling squad. BUILDING THE STRENGTH in his arms.

Janis Gennette. junior, studies dance at Carolyn Jackson Dance Studio where she takes tap for half an hour and then jazz for another half an hour. This made Janis's eighth year of studying dance. During this time, she has taken tap. baton and acrobatics along with jazz. Janis began jazz as a hobby and liked it so much that she favored it over the rest, mainly because it involved more activity. Janis was not alone in her interest in dancing. Several other students enrolled in dance classes. One of these was Junior Allison Fitzwater, also a student of Carolyn Jackson. Last fall, Allison competed in a state competition held at Charleston. Her group took first place. Like Janis, Allison favors jazz, although she. too, studied baton and tap.

Getting his or her driver's license, that's what. For some this was a scary matter. Becky Summers said It was scary; all I did was stare at the yellow line and when I saw a big truck I panicked. Becky said that she studied for about a week before she took her test, but it wasn't as hard as she thought it would be. Becky passed written and drivers the first time. Todd Alonso passed on the second time for written and first time for the drivers part. Alonso, now having his drivers license and his own car, said, 1 feel somewhat grown up. Patty Miller said driving has changed her. I get a lot more freedom, 1 usually get to do whatever I want. Patty doesn't have her own car, but she drives her mother's car; however, she still walks to school. Pat Clelland found his first driving lesson to be nervy. I felt nervous. I didn't want to have an accident, he said. Every driver eventually gets the nerves out of his or her system and begins to enjoy driving and the new responsibility. 90 Sophomores James Cox Lori Cox Max Cox Paul Cox Ron Cox Brian Criss Deanna Cross Billy Croston Wilda Croy Kelly Curry Harry Davis Hubie Delauder Brian Dempsey Randy Dickey Twila Dodrill Marla Edwards Tracie Efaw Chuck Exline Brian Fairley Julie Fankhauser Jody Farnsworth Robert Farrance David Fast Carl Faulkner Tom Fawcett Bobby Fisher David Forman Stephanie Forte Melissa Frame Robert Gable READY TO BEGIN another day of school.

The contestants, only sophomores, were judged on poise and leadership. Judges included Principal Greg Cartwright and previous contest winners from Grafton. After winning for the school, Alicia went on to Jackson's Mill to represent Grafton in further competition. While at Jackson's Mill, Alicia participated in seminars and also enjoyed a dance and talent show. She had the chance to meet over 100 other sophomores from different high schools around the state. The winner of thejackson's Mill competition went on to national competition in California. The Hugh O'Brien weekend was one of the best weekends of my life, and 1 got to meet many other sophomores who shared the same opinions and matters such as I, Alicia said after returning from the competition. All in all, the Hugh O'Brien experience was one that Alicia will never forget.

Sophomores Kelly White and Becky Summers would and did. These girls spent their summer practicing for hours at a time to perfect their routines as the band's feature twirlers. Some of their baton tricks included twirling two fire batons, or four regular batons, and doing toss back hand springs. Flags and ribbons were also used in the girls' routine. They spent roughly five hours a day practicing during the summer months in preparation for football season's half time shows. We started twirling seriously when school was out in June to get ready for tryouts in July,” said Becky. The girls practice paid off for them since they were chosen, but practice was not a new word to them. Both started twirling at very young ages. Kelly started when she was seven; Becky began at the age of four. Carolyn Jackson, a dance instructor in Grafton, was their first teacher. As the two girls got older, they began training with different people, with Barb Pope, a WVU twirler, being their most recent teacher. She helped the girls make up their routines for this past school year. Kelly and Becky kept busy competing throughout the state. Kelly has won over 87 trophies through the years, one of those being an All State Championship when she won the National Baton Twirling Association championship in 1980. Becky has also won awards and trophies throughout her twirling years. She won the National Twirling Association championship in 1978. Through all the band performances, rehearsals and competitions, Becky and Kelly have often found themselves twirling together. 94 Sophomores Renee Lohr Springs Beth Springston Lory Stach Dave Stevens David Strader Becky Summers Allen Thorn Leslie Tighe Chris Trickett Jeff Tucker Mike Utt Pat Varah Tom Walters Mike Ware Craig Watkins Rachel Watkins Loretta Webber Kelly White Jim Williams Monica Willis Scott Willis Chuck Wolfe Lisa Wolfe Clarissa Wooddell Jimmy Work Danny Worth DURING ONE OF their many performances with the school band, Kelly White and Becky Summers find time to pose for the camera.

Well Christy Flohr and DeWayne Lanham got their chance to find out how hard it really was. The 4-H members had a chance to raise a baby calf from the time it was born until the selling date in late August. They have to raise the Charolis and Angus calves until time of selling. This was a voluntary project. They fed their calves grain, hay, chopped oats, and pellets twice A BABY BEEF may be hard to raise, but these two freshmen. Christy Flohr and DeWayne Lanham, did it. a day. In order to raise the calves it took a lot of special care. You have to keep them away from grass, make sure you feed it twice a day, keep it sheltered, its stall cleaned, and give it a lot of attention. When they brought these calves to auction, many of the people who purchased these animals would pay anywhere from 70 cents a pound on up. It all depended on the brand of calf.

Poling hasn't entered any contest recently, but a few years ago he won 6th place in the state free style drawing competition. So when you can't find Dave hard at work with his paper and pencil drawing his favorite character Snoopy , you will probably fund him playing J. V. baseball or practicing with the Thespians.

Mendy Curry said, The social life's alright; the freedom is really great. Eva Watkins said, It’s nice to be able to move around without someone always watching over you. During lunch the freedom is great. The attitudes varied from student to student, but each knew that they had entered their new home for the next four years.

After dealing with young people all day, some people might look forward to a quiet evening, but many of the faculty have young children. Mrs. Lisa Hayes, school secretary, kept busy taking care of her three small boys: Shannon, 8, Travis, 6, and Dusty, 3. Managing the children worked out fine due to Shannon and Travis attending school and Duty going a half day. After Mrs. Hayes quit work each day, she would pick up her children at Anna Jarvis. Mrs. Vicki Lambert. English teacher, was just one of the faculty who recently had a baby. Her son, Steven Chetney, was born June 13,1984. Her son is called by his middle name. Basketball Coach Mike Crutchfield was another one who recently became a new parent. His daughter, Lindsey Ann, was born on March 20,1984. Besides coaching basketball, Crutchfield even helped coach at home by taking some responsibilities; he helped his wife with chores and their daughter. I feed her, change diapers, rock her to sleep and even burp her, said Crutchfield. Other teacher parents didn't see their children until after school, but such was not the case for Mrs. Diana Colebank, English teacher. Her daughter, Mary Frances, a sophomore, rode to school with her mother, but has never been one of her students. Principal Greg Cartwright frequently saw his youngest son. Zane, who attended the nursery in the vocational center. His other son, Jason, finished first grade this year.

Staff Administration 103 Above the average When the 25-10 policy was passed in West Virginia, Grafton High School was short 12 minutes in their schedule. Consequently, the school day was lengthened so that every period became 50 minutes long, with the exception of the two lunch periods. At first students thought this would be a major hardship, but as it turned out, it wasn't so bad after all. At first it seemed like the end of the world. But then we got used to it. I'm not saying I like it, but we can live with it, said Junior Pat McVicker. As far as new classes. Introduction to Journalism was added to the schedule, taught by a new teacher at Grafton High, Mrs. Cathy Eagle. Another new teacher, Mrs. Becky Ringler. taught Special Edu- cation. One class that was dropped was the two-period Chemistry class taught by Mrs. Constance Warder. For the first time in seven years, Grafton High School had broken its own downward trend and scored higher than ever in every category of the ACT test. This year's scores pushed Grafton High one-half a point over the national average. Certainly, this trend toward higher test scores shows that the quality of the education that Grafton is creating is heading in New Directions. THE COLLEGE FAIR helps many juniors and seniors plan their future. Juniors Kathy Shaver and Shelly Edwards talk during the fall event.

AT THE HOMECOMING game, members of the majorette corps stand at attention. 106 The Fine Arts Tuning All the Fine Arts at school — the art, choral and instrumental departments — had students TUNING THEIR TALENTS. By walking down the halls and the east end ramp, one could easily see what the art classes did to beautify the school. The classes drew three major improvements when they first painted GHS on the wall in the east end ramp. After that, the class headed for the gymnasium where they did a mural of a Bearcat's head on the wall. The last project dealt with painting strips of blue and gold over the lockers on the first floor. The main reason that we did these projects was to improve the appearance of the school and to lift the spirits of the students, said Mrs. Ivy Louk, art teacher. The Art Department wasn't the only one TUNING THEIR TALENTS, but the Music Department also tuned in by presenting concerts and shows for the public. The choral director, Mr. Ken Godwin, kept the Men's Chorus and Women's Chorus busy as they presented their annual winter concert in December. The Entertainers Edition XIV presented over 50 performances during the year, including a trip to Erie, PA. and one to Ocean City, MD. One of the highlights in the choral department was the annual spring musical; this year's was Fiddler on the Roof. This required a cast and crew of over 100 peo-ple. their talents This was one of our most successful musicals ever. We put on three performances and we had capacity crowds each night, said Mr. Godwin. The musical also gave the instrumental department a chance to show their talents with the orchestra providing the background music. Most of the orchestra was composed of students from the band. The band had an exciting year as they traveled to Florida in March. After spending weeks on fundraisers to finance the trip, they left on March 17 for the Sunshine State. While there, they visited Ep-cot Center, Wet 'N Wild and Disney World, plus a stop at Daytona Beach. We had a lot of fun, and I think it was well worth all the work, said Mr. Norman Adlington, band director. Mr. Adlington also taught guitar lab, while Mr. Godwin had the piano lab. GETTING THE DETAILS right is an essential task, as Sherry Hupp, freshman, demonstrates as she adds the finishing touches to the strips of blue and gold. A PIANO LAB helps these students in learning the keys and the instrumental panel. The Fine Arts 107 DEMONSTRATING DIAGRAMMING TO ONE of her English 11 classes is Mrs. Diana Colebank. WORKING ON A literature assignment is part of everyday work in Mrs. Fern Thorn’s English class. 108 Language Arts Going through phases Getting new grammar books, reading Beowulf ', researching a paper or presenting a speech were just a few of the things that kept the Language Arts Department GOING THROUGH PHASES. In the English realm, Mrs. Fern Thorn s senior classes kept busy writing creative poetry, which were published in the Creative Writing Booklet sponsored by the Taylor County Reading Council. The college prep (CP) classes spent hours out of school working on research papers dealing with the Medieval Period. Some students volunteered and con- AS A STUDENT answers a question in Spanish class. Mrs. Nancy Lavender takes the chance to quench her thirst. ducted out-of-school projects. One such project was a reading hour held at the Taylor County Public Library. This activity took place every Wednesday from 12:30 to 1:30 for pre-school children. Mrs. Nancy Lavender, head of the Foreign Language Department, taught concepts of Spanish and French. Some of these basics included learning numbers, days of the week, months and the most common words dealing with everyday Spanish or French life. At Christmas, Mrs. Lavender took her classes caroling, which has now become a tradition.

Due to the lack of available rooms and a first year teacher, the department moved in and out of three rooms during the day. The newspaper staff met in room 105 during 3rd period. Mrs. Cathy Eagle, adviser, taught the 19 member staff. Seniors Angela Scranage and Peggy Watkins served as editors for first and second semester, respectively. A major change came about when the staff voted at the beginning of the second semester to change the name of the paper from Graftonian Bearcat to Cat Tracks. With the new name came a new nameplate. featuring a grid background. The staff published four issues during the year, which ranged from four to eight pages. For the second consecutive year. Angela placed first in editorial writing at WVU's high school journalism competition. She was also a finalist in news writing, while Jeff White, senior, was a finalist in sports writing. The yearbook staff, Re-Echo, met in room 220 during 5th period. The 160 page book contained seven pages with spot color and held the theme of New Direction. The 15 member staff kept on the go as they strove to meet four deadlines within the last 18 weeks of school. Editor Becky Thaxton, junior, and assistant editor Pat Shaw, junior, aided Mrs. Eagle when the staff stayed after school to meet the deadlines. For a break in routine, both staffs had a Christmas party at Mrs. Eagle's house and a May picnic. At the picnic, 10 staff members were inducted into Quill and Scroll, the Journalism honorary. A Journalism I program began this year with five students enrolled. During the class, which met eighth period in room 214, the students learned about newspaper and yearbook design, feature and sports writing, plus the fundamentals of interviewing. Photography, which also met eighth period in room 214, had five students who worked mainly in the darkroom, located in room 220. Trying to meet deadlines, publish a yearbook and newspapers, plus moving about the school kept the department on the go.

STEPS (Surviving Today's Experiences and Problems Successfully) dealt with seven subject areas. These included cooking, sewing, nutrition, home management, child care, family relationships and textiles. Taught by Mrs. Debbie Burns, these students learned about planning parties, dating manners, and how to plan and care for a family. They also made crafts and sewing projects. In the other areas of Home Economics, there were three occupational exploration classes offered. These classes changed content matter and teachers every nine weeks. Students learned about natural resources in the agriculture aspect, taught by Mr. Harley Donham. For the business part. Mrs. Arlene Decker had students learn about the aspects of running a business. Mr. Keith Takarsh taught the industrial management area. Mrs. Burns' public service class planned a restaurant and later ran it. selling sundaes to the student bod and faculty.

Grafton's composite was 19.0, exceeding the national average by 0.5 and the state average by 1.6. Counselor Jane Turner explained why the Math Department turned out better students. Several teachers are toughening up teaching and are providing more instruction. especially in College Prep classes. The teachers are helping students DURING STUDENT EXPERIENCE Day, Senior Rod Shreve passes back tests to one of Mr. Mike Crutchfield's classes. DURING HIS PLANNING period.

After this year, the number enrolled in Algebra I will decrease. The Middle School offered an Algebra I class to its eighth graders, making it unnecessary for them to take Algebra I at the high school. So instead, when these students signed up for their schedule, they jumped into Geometry, causing an increase in enrollment in Geometry classes. For the same reason, there will prob- ably be a decrease in the number of� dents taking the Algebra I class, said M David Knotts, who teaches Geometry at Algebra I and II. Not many major changes occurred i the Math Department, but what di change was for the better. Proof of th was found in the increased ACT score WORKING IN SMALL groups, students in Geometry listen as Mr. Mike Crutchfield answers a question by a student.

STUDENTS IN BIOLOGY learn about the dissection of a worm as they listen to a lecture. BEFORE ANY DISSECTING can be done, students in biology must know the basic aspects of dissection. Sophomores Becky Summers and Dana Griffith take a test on dissecting a frog. 116 Sciences Dissecting dilemma Dissecting animals, learning botany, and participating in labs were just a few of the things that kept the Science Department busy. The biggest change in the science curriculum came this year with the deletion of the second period chemistry class. This was due to the low enrollment of students in the science field. Mrs. Constance Warder, chemistry teacher, said, 1 think that it's a shame not enough students decided to take it. It would have given them more lab time. Students enrolled in the general and advanced biology classes kept busy with dissections. Animals dissected included worms, clams, fetal pigs, sharks and rabbits. When asked how it felt dissecting an animal. Shelly Hunsaker. junior, commented that. It's really not as bad as you think. You don't even think about being on the inside of an animal once you get started. TENING TO A lecture by Mr. John Taylor, Knts in biology learn about the parts of a shark.

One such class was the Problems of Democracy, taught by Mr. Alan DePiano. The class, which was available to juniors and seniors, participated in Student Experience Day and the student body elections. Class members taught classes at the high school and other county schools during Student Experience Day. They also ran the polls and election procedures for the election of the new student body officers. During November, the class conducted a poll to see how the presidential candidates faired with the student body. Ronald Reagan won over Walter Mondale by 366-199. For state offices, the students chose John Raese over John Rockefeller for the Senate by a 324-227 vote. Although Raese won the Grafton Fligh poll, he lost to Rockefeller in the state election. Another course, Psychology and Sociology. was taught by Mrs. Betty Morrison, with classes alternating each semester. During the year, her students could be found wandering the halls wearing a sling or an eye patch or walking on crutches. This experiment helped them to realize the problems the handicapped encounter. The department also sponsored the an- nual current events competition. Throughout the year, quizzes were distributed to each teacher and they set up classroom competitions. The team was chosen in March. This year's team took the state championship as they won in the semi-finals against Moorefield by a score of 330-270. In the final round, they defeated a team of males from Musselman High by 360-330. Mrs. Sharon Trickett served as the coach for the team with team member Chip Slaven acting as the alternate. Junior Becky Setler was the team captain. Other required courses in the department were American Studies I and II, World Cultures and Social Studies.

The typing classes became known as Keyboarding I. Another change in the typing program came about when Mrs. Deliana Kusich left during the second nine weeks of school, and Mr. John Eye took over the position at the Center. Approximately 620 students attended the Center; these included students from Grafton High, Flemington and post-secondary students. These students took courses ranging from Building Construction to one of the five computer courses. Some of the classes gave more than the average classroom experience; these gave the hands-on technique. One such class, DCT, had students working at local businesses for a class grade. They worked at the Board of Edu- cation office, McDonalds, Farmer's Delight, Kentucky Fried Chicken and grocery stores. The Food Service class prepared fast foods, often selling their products to students and staff during lunch. Pepperoni rolls, cinnamon rolls, piz2a and french fries were just a part of the menu sold during the year. Building Construction students found themselves pounding nails and following blueprints as they built a house during the first semester and added a higher level to the press box the second semester. Mr. Francis Nestor, principal of the Center, said. I think students gain skills here that will help them in the future. The Center was also known as the Adult Basic Education Center with classes being held at night.

Vocational Center 123 Changing course Clubs moved in New Directions as West Virginia state policy 25-10 abolished interscholastic club meetings. Clubs that were previously held during school time now met before or after school. Assistant Principal. Mr. Tom Talerico, said, The reason for no clubs is that students must be in class all day. I had very-few complaints. The two main reasons for this action was low (below 50%) participation and low esteem among advisers. I feel that the clubs that are still meeting are the ones that were the most serious about it. Many of the clubs were abolished all together, but some remained strong throughout the school. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), the Key club, and Teen Action for Community Services (TACS) were just a few. Attitudes didn’t vary much. Teacher, Mr. Dave Bruner, said, I didn't see much of a reaction from the kids. I don't think they were that serious about clubs anyway.” All these clubs had to meet the new state requirements by CHANGING COURSF. to do so. GETTING SOMETHING TO drink.
