Words of romantic nostalgia did not fit the school year. Words of action, pride, and individuality did fit, however. Many people saw this as the year to do all the things that hadn't been done before. New activities and organizations began and prospered. It was a year of events. An agreement to help fix up the school was made with Georgia-Pacific, the WVEA called for teachers to cast a strike vote, and a SADD Chapter was begun. Something was always going on at Grafton High . . .

Students participated in many activities both in school and out. Academics flourished in the Year of Education in West Virginia. Athletic teams competed successful seasons with such pride that could only be found at Grafton High School. Organizations began their yearly fundraisers and the community showed their support by buying everything from the band's oranges to Student Council's suntan oil. Traditional events such as Homecoming, the spring musical and prom, and additions to class tournaments and school policies had students and teachers asking, What's Going On?

They participated in band, yearbook, Entertainers, student council, and countless other clubs and organizations. So many events had never taken place before at GHS. In the midst of this flurry of activity, students asked, What's Goin' On? Student Life Divider 7 SENIOR RANDY DICKEY prepares to take a high dive in Tygart Lake.

It's an experience that you can't get in school or in town. Robert Shumaker, Sophomore azy, Hazy Days When students filed out the doors on the last day of the 1985-86 academic year, they had one intent — to enjoy the lazy, hazy, days of summer. There were many ways to spend summer. Some people worked, some went to the lake, some went on vacation, and then some just stayed at home catching up on soaps and eating junk food. Work kept some students busy and took up much of their leisure time. During last summer I worked on the farm. I like being out in the fresh air, seeing wild animals, taking care of the cows, and putting up hay. It's work but I don't mind it. It's an experience that you can't get in school or in town, said Robert Shumaker, sophomore. Tygart Lake was a popular place for students to spend their summer. Sophomore Scott Spring stated, I spent my whole summer at Tygart State Park. It was great. I went to the beach for the first time and I thought the ocean was beautiful. It was a time I'll always remember, said sophomore Missy Shingleton. Spending the summer in a more unusual way was Paula Duryea, sophomore. My dad is a truck driver and in the summer I went with him. With the passing of summer to fall, students had to return to school and leave behind the lazy, hazy days of summer. Summer 9 TAKING TIME OUT from celebrating a victorious win at the First Annual Tricycle Race, seniors Joe Canfield, Paul Cox, Scott Willis, Brian Dempsey, and J.D. Scritchfield display their enthusiasm. With tricycle races and an ice cream eating contest, Homecoming proved to be efinitely Different Have you picked up your forms yet?'' What forms? The forms for the first annual tricycle race and ice cream eating contest. Tricycle races? Ice Cream eating contest? What's Going On? Homecoming Week! — That's what was going on. It happened every year, spirit week, the thuse, the game and of course, the dance to celebrate the victory or to move ahead from a defeat. Something new and something definitely different went on in preparation for the big game on Friday, October 17, against Frankfort. It all started on Monday, October 13. Students wore camouflage and spirits were not hidden. Tuesday was the day for dressing up in as many colors as you could. Senior Tracy Efaw exclaimed, It was really fun. It was a day that you could dress and not have to match. Wednesday was clown day. Things looked definitely different that day. Even some teachers dressed in full costume. Everything was backwards on Thursday. Students could be seen wearing their clothes backwards and some even walked backwards. That didn't last long because most students were getting psyched up for the thuse that night. Many were wondering what the tricycle races would be like and who would win. Anticipation for the ice cream contest was also soaring. Several students challenged their favorite teachers to the contest. I think it's good that students and faculty can get together and blow off some steam in the form of the ice cream eating contest, said teacher Gary Hollingshead.

Different Kicking off the thuse Thursday night, the annual parade of floats and students went through Grafton's downtown streets about seven. As the floats and cars arrived at the high school, students began piling off the vehicles and heading toward the gym. The student body joined together in the gym with spirit and fun as cheers passed back and forth. You could feel the excitement in the air, said senior Jeri Abel. Adding to the excitement, tricycles were raced and ice cream was insanely consumed. Although it was quite messy, it proved to be a good time for all. I hope this kind of event becomes an annual homecoming tradition, student vice president Pat Varah said. Enthusiasm kicked into overdrive on Friday as Leslie Tighe, senior, was crowned Homecoming queen and the Bearcats romped to a 38-13 victory over the Frankfort Falcons. The week's festivities were culminated with the annual Homecoming dance as Kevin Lyons provided the DJ entertainment.

Homecoming 13 I don't like the shoes that look like the ones Nellie wore on Little House on the Prairie. nique Style Fashion in the 86-87 scholastic year was the wearers own unique style. Mr. Forrest Kelley, biology teacher, said, The fashion trends were much more individualistic; they allowed kids to be who they were. Some people liked the pretty look. Jo Napier, sophomore, said, I really liked shirts with teddy bears and unicorns on them. Other people preferred a wilder style of clothing. Kelly White, senior, stated that she, liked the more exotic footwear. Remarks from people like Barbara Setler, sophomore, stated a different side. I don't like the shoes that look like the ones Nellie wore on Little House on the Prairie. As with all current fashion, styles that were in a long time ago are in again. Junior, Robyn Ringler said, Styles were more comfortable and relaxed. They repeated themselves with the faded demin and western wear. Pat Varah, senior, stated Wearing a jean jacket is like wearing an attitude. You're cool, you're bad, and no one messes with you. Mony skirt lengths can be seen during lunch period. Mini skirts, and calf lengths were some of the numerous styles. During o concert given by Michael Jonathan, his keyboard player sports a bleached long hair style. Barbara Setler, Sophomore Hair was pretty spectacular too! As Missy Medrick senior said, Now you can do your hair any way you want and still be cool. Basically, the styles were put together by the students themselves. If they felt comfortable, they wore it. After all, isn't that how it should be? 14 Student Life Seniors Ronnie Cox ond Tim Gump show their jean jackets while attending the College Fair.

Jpinions Voiced Anna Brown, Senior Shouted conversations shot back and forth in the crowded first floor hall. The first period bell rang, but the halls did not empty as usual. Spontaneously, some confident, some not, students simply walked out the doors. That September 15 morning was like no other morning ever experienced by GHS students. New rules and restrictions had students angry and upset. 'They're treating us like elementary school children, with putting our names on the board when we speak out of turn and fencing us in like zoo animals, stated Kim McVicker, junior. It was announced that all students were to take every semester test for every class; no exceptions. For the first year, seniors were not getting out one week early. There was extremely decreased freedom during lunch because of a new intramural program and a fence installed over the summer. Meetings between student representatives and Greg Cartwright, Principal, had given students no satisfaction. Pat Varah, student body Vice President said, Up until that time, walkout was a last resort, so as responsible student leaders, the student council decided to play its trump card. Disgusted with feelings of lack of freedom, an estimated 90% of the student body left the building and went to the student body parking lot to protest. Encouraged by calls from students, media coverage included WDTV, WBOY; newspapers, The Mountain Statesman, The Dominion Post, The Clarksburg Exponent, The Charleston Gazette, and USA Today. Negotiations continued throughout the day. A small group of representatives held a short meeting with Mr. Cartwright and aired their concerns. Cartwright promised to form a student-faculty committee, a parent-faculty committee, and to consider lessening the effect of semester tests on grades. Also discussed was the possibility of seniors getting out two days early. Prompted by Cartwright's assurance of the formation of committees with student voices, some students returned to the building. Others simply went home, or remained in the student parking lot. On the next day, all but about 15 students returned to classes. The days following the walkout were filled with meetings and collaborations. It was decided that semester test values would be re-evaluated and seniors would be getting out two days early. Eventually, tensions eased between students and faculty. Although all the problems were not solved, students felt optimistic about the remaining school year. I feel, stated senior Sonya Hoffa, that the privileges we gained will help to make this a better year. STUDENTS DISPLAY SIGNS outside during the September 15 student walk-out. I6 Student Life n I think high school is very challenging and a lot of fun. enter Stage Long and rough hours of practice, combined with a hectic schedule kept the band, singing groups and various organizations busy. They strove for perfection under the spotlight — center stage. The Entertainers, GHS's elite singing group, was chosen as one of the fifteen show choir groups across the nation to compete in Chicago, Illinois, on March 12, 1987. Before the trip, senior Wayne Goodwin said, I'm looking forward to competing against some of the best show choirs in America. I'm also looking forward to having a good time in the big city of Chicago, home of Michael Jordan. Entertainer Kelly White said, The reason I auditioned for Entertainers is because I enjoy singing, dancing, and meeting people from all over, both young and old. The marching band, consisting of about 105 members, including the majorettes, started preparing for the football season in August by attending band camp at Melissa McBee, Freshman Cedar Lakes on the 9th through the 15th. These students, under the direction of Mr. Norman Adlington, gave up several days of their summer vacation to organize their halftime show. Memorizing music, learning new steps and making new friends was all a part of band. Different from the marching band, the Concert bands performed inside. During the May Band Spectacular held in Bridgeport, the Symphonic band was chosen as a Superior band and the Concert band was chosen as a II Supe- MIDGET MAJORETTES steal the floor during halftime of a basketball game. 18 Student Life PREPARING ROBIN HENDERSON. senior member of the Entertainers Edition XVI, for her next performance, is costume advisor Teresa Wiseman.

Freshman Melissa McBee said, I think high school band is very challenging and a lot of fun. Unlike the band, the Concert Choir, New Inspirations, Singers and Entertainers, un- der the direction of Mr. Kenneth Godwin, used their voices. These groups provided entertainment for such diverse groups as elementary schools to our state legislature. National Honor Society members held their formal induction ceremony in April. Speeches on leadership, service, and other topics were given. Eight new members were selected. Whether students sang, danced, played a horn or gave speeches, many still found it hard to be on ''Center Stage even after many hours of practice. SENIORS PAULA McVICKER and Carla McMullen discuss new strategies for the upcoming halftime field show.

Wayne Goodwin, senior Pacific After only preparing for one month, Mr. Kenneth Godwin still managed to give Grafton a spectacular musical called South Pacific. The lead role of Nellie, was given to Paula Hefferin. Many students stated that with her voice, no one else could have had that part. Her supporting role was that of Emile, portrayed by Brian Findley. Senior Todd Alonzo, was the Professor, which he said wasn't a big part, but it was the part he wanted. He also said that he would liked to have done “Bye, Bye, Birdie, before he left our high school. Wayne Goodwin, senior, who played Lieutenant Buzz Adams, only prepared for two weeks and had a lot of fun. He stated that, “Buzz was cool just like me so he wasn't hard to act out. I really liked my part. His favorite part of the play was where Paula Hefferin sang Honey Bun and he and his friends danced, dressed as girls. Kelly White, senior, who played Bessie, an ensign nurse, said her favorite part was in the last scene with Nellie, Emile, and the two children. She wanted to perform Barnum and Bailey, which was about a circus and she felt it would have been fun putting together. 22 Student Life HONEY BUNS, Todd Alonzo, senior, Ben Jenkins, junior and Wayne Goodwin, senior, strut their stuff for the audience.

Presentation of the new Varsity Ball court dominated the half-time show. The court was chosen by the student body and the queen was chosen by the basketball team. The 1985-86 queen Janis Gennette gave up her reign as queen to senior Kristy Rollins. Her escort was Brian Harki. The court members included: Senior princesses Kel- lie Clelland with escort Ted Shoemaker, Stephanie Forte with escort Wayne Goodwin; Junior princesses Denise Moran with escort Mitch Stemple and Becca Harman with escort Dave Shriver.

Refreshments were provided by Mrs. Debbie Burns and her Home Economics classes. The Student Council members decorated for the dance. The sound and light show was presented by DJ Jim Stallings from WVAQ. Students dressed up and arrived ready to dance the night away. As the night ended, couples left and went their separate ways as another successful basketball season ended.

Miniature wishing wells sat on each table bearing the theme, and some wishes came true. With the unveiling of the roses, Robyn Henderson was crowned Queen. At first I was embarrassed because I didn't realize that it was me. It was a great chance that I picked the right rose. Robyn Henderson said.

The old gym took on a new look. It held a summerhouse and in the middle of the floor stood a ferris wheel 7' 2 feet high. Two wishing wells were on opposite sides. The theme was This Could Be The Night and oh, what a night it was. At first I was embarrassed because I didn't realize that it was me.

I____ - Looking Ahead Paula McVicker, senior As the sun slowly set on the evening of June 8, the senior class of 1987 marched slowly across the football field. The familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance drifted through the night air. Friends and relatives of these students watched with mixed emotions, some joyful, some reminiscent, and some re- lieved. Senior Pat Varah said, Despite all the ups and downs we experienced as a class, I believe that it was well worth the struggle. Paula McVicker, graduating third in her class, said, I'm more than ready to move on, but I'm still going to miss the people I'm close to this year. The valedictorian, Beth Harri- son, delivered an address filled with analogies everyone could relate to. Probably her most remembered line will be the question, Are you going to be a doer or sit in front of the TV eating corn curls and watching reruns of Hogan's Heroes? AS PART OF TRADITION, foculty members march with the graduating seniors. AN UNEXPECTED “toss of hats is demonstrated by seniors. 30 Student Life PASS THE KLEENEX'S With memories in our books and tears in our eyes, We have come on this day to say some sad good-byes. We've watched each other grow and saw the charges made. Looking back on times we've shared, I doubt there's one we'd trade. But it's time to move on, now that we've grown, we'll be overcoming obstacles and facing problems unknown. So let the tears dry from your cheeks my friend, for good-bye is not forever, it's until we meet again. — Missy Hedrick VALEDICTORIAN BETH HARRISON entertains the audience with an inspiring speech. THE BANDS' PLAYING of Pomp and Circumstance at graduation ceremony is as much a tradition as graduation itself.

Looking Ahead The Academic Fitness Awards were presented by Nora Louk, who received one of the first awards from President Ronald Reagan himself. Recognition of those students who had achieved both academic standards was well received by the faculty and community. Friends and relatives snapped pictures while Ron Dillenger, Superintendent of Schools, presented diplomas to the graduates. The turning of the tassel was led by J.D. Scritchfield, the President of the senior class. He also led the community and class in the singing of the Alma Mater. Prior to this, he asked for a silent moment of prayer in remembrance of Nathan Hughes, who would have graduated. Following the Benediction, the class marched off the field, barely suppressing their joy, the newest addition to the alumni of Grafton High School!

SENIORS IIII IE ROBINSON and Lesl.e Ttghe Decision, Pepsi or Coke? lJU SViccU Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? This song still runs through the minds of many teenagers today. When we think of Sesame Street most people think of Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and of course, the Count. These characters not only entertained us when we were children, but they also taught us how to count and learn our ABC's. The entertainment apparently hasn't stopped for one senior who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. I grew up with Sesame Street and fell in love with Oscar and Cookie Monster. They're like old friends. Some may feel this is abnormal behavior for a senior, but this secret Sesame Street admirer does not stand alone. There are others out there who still relate to Sesame Street. For instance, Anna Brown, senior, said, When I want to kick back and just laugh, I flip the TV on and watch Big Bird and the gang. I think there is still a little kid left in all of us, even though we're on the verge of adulthood, stated senior Jeri Able. SOPHOMORE ERIKA MILLER reads over her day's Horoscope. She hopes to find something interesting. 1U As many students read through the latest edition of their favorite magazine or newspaper, they usually take time out to stop and read their astrological prediction. Many students may read their prediction but how many actually believe it? From a GHS student body poll it came out fifty-fifty. One avid believer, senior Anna Brown said, I try to read my astrological sign every day. It's been wrong a few times, but most of the time it's right on the nose! Beth Sringston, senior, another believer stated, I feel if you truly believe, the predictions will come true. There are a variety of feelings and opinions about What's in a star?

It began while sitting in class waiting for the bell to ring and when it did, what did you do? Well, Junior Boyles, senior, would eat and then go to the gym. Where he says, like to sit and talk to the babes. Students had a fairly large selection of activities they could enjoy during their closed-campus lunch. Activities included playing intra- murals in the gym, sitting in the cafeteria, gathering in the lobby where the snack machines were, sitting in the gym or gym lobby, or going to the library to concentrate on studies, read magazines or even engage in a chess game. Many students were asked where they went during lunch, and what their favorite thing about lunch was. Donnie Sevier, junior, replied, ”1 eat hot lunch in the cafeteria Junior Boyles, senior and the only thing I like about lunch is playing basketball after I eat. Lunchtime was a time to relax from morning classes and prepare for afternoon classes. It also served as a tension reliever for many students who needed it. Whether you brown-bagged it, ate hot lunch, fixed a salad, or raided the snack machine, you still could have a good time at lunch. v . � • 40 Student Life Scrotching off student names and numbers, Robin Ringler and Pam Satterfield, juniors, take Mike Belair's vote.

Some students took art as a chance to learn and become better skilled at their artistic abilities. Freshman Chris Wright said, I really enjoy the things we do in Art. It brings out my creative side. An advanced class was given to those who needed to pursue their creative skills in Art. ''The class gives me a chance to express my intermost thoughts and feelings. said Todd Radabaugh, senior. Similar thoughts were expressed by senior, Brian Dempsey, Art gives me a way to escape from reality for 55 minutes. Music classes also offered a way Mr. Kenneth Godwin directs the Singers during the Christmas Concert. for expression. Such individualized classes were piano and guitar labs. Students interested in group singing could get involved in Concert Choir, New Inspiration, Singers and the Entertainers. GHS Entertainers were chosen to compete in Chicago. Junior, Becky Gaines said, I love being a part of the Entertainers. Being on stage is very exciting. Students usually started out being in Chorus and then worked their way up to be in the Entertainers.

A new grammar class was introduced to the schedule. It was speech. Most of the time in this class, students wrote or gave speeches but learned the proper technique of doing this. Speech class helped me to learn to give a better speech. said Junior Boyles, senior. Everything from decorating a cake, printing a picture from a negative and demonstrating the proper way of shooting a basketball were just a few topics covered Showing his classmates how to diagram a sentence, junior Sam Summers works at the chalkboard during demonstration speeches. Other types of speeches were given such as personal experiences and informative ones. One way of learning to communicate was by learning grammar in English class. Without learning proper grammar techniques it was almost impossible to speak properly- French students had the privilege of not only doing book work but learning French cooking and singing carols for others at Christmas. Whether a student studied French, Spanish, speech, or English grammar he or she definitely learned a new way of communicating.

Destiny Unknown veryone talked about what they wanted to be when they graduated and some even took an extra step in their future. The Vocational School had many classes offered to students to help them better understand and learn in their career field. There were one period classes and three period (block) classes. The block classes were training students in the career they want and they even helped students get jobs. Some provided on the job training. Some of the courses provided were: Child Care, Health Assistance, Food Service, Welding, and Building Construction. 48 Acgdemics Mrs. Deborah Burns taught the Steps class. This class taught things that students would have to know when they finally enter the real world and take on some responsibility. After much preparation, students performed a mock wedding with a reception following in the library. Refreshments were catered by the Home Economics classes. Vocational classes offered many on the job experiences. Students took those courses with their future careers in mind and whatever they decided to do, their career destinies were still unknown.

When asked this question, many people had different reactions to the normal class period. The normal class period is sitting in a classroom listening to a lecture and doing work for forty-five minutes. explained Brian Criss, senior. For forty-five minutes most students sat in a classroom with a pencil, a notebook, and a textbook doing bookwork or written work. With classes such as Yearbook, Driver's Education, Physical Education and Choral classes students opened their views to new ideas of the classroom. Yearbook class gives us the chance to get out of the classroom and take pictures. said Kathy Gallaher, junior. Being able to get a break from the normal classes gave students a chance to get away from the normal routine of the ordinary school day. Driver's Ed. gave me a chance to get out of the school and drive around. explained Joy Cooper, junior. Some students took these type of classes, to get out of homework, classwork, or for most people just get out and have a break from the norm. These classes gave students the opportunity to get away from the dreaded day of sitting in a classroom for forty-five minutes, especially on nice, sunny days. Usually on nice days we go outside and do various activities in Advanced Physical Conditioning. commented Kim Bolyard, junior. Running outside, lifting weights, paralled parking, writing copy, and taking pictures were some of the activities performed by students in these abnormal classes. Even though these classes are a break from the norm — they still were important classes completed for a grade. 50 Academics Pushing up for strength, senior Brian Dempsey works hard in Advanced Physical Conditioning.

One might have heard that the basics of all education is reading, writing and arithmetic. That was a fact because all students had to pass English, History, and Math before graduating. Learning resources and special education courses were offered in order to give individualized instruction to some students. Donnie Gray, Freshman said We really have made a lot of progress this year. Bringing rulers, graphs, tables, and calculators to class, math students came prepared for what they would learn. A problem as basic as twenty plus thirty was learned as well as the more difficult Geometry problems dealing with triangler sides. Cathy Sapp, sophomore said Algebra II is difficult but also a lot of fun. Students must know how to read in order to do well in other classes. However, some students need a little help and are able to take reading class taught by Mrs. Judy Walker. Literature courses were also important in getting back to the basics especially when American and English Literature were taught. Whatever classes students chose to take, they all had certain basic classes they needed to complete before moving on to more specialized classes.

All of these questions were answered by students in the various history classes. History helps us to learn about the past and the people of the past. said Becky Gaines, junior. Other than just knowing about the world many students elected to take science classes to learn what makes up this world in which we live. Students in Chemistry classes learned about atmosphere and molecules while Biology students learned about animals and human life. ''In Chemistry, we sometimes get to do labs that let us see how different substances react with each other. explained junior Heather Upton. Economics is a good class because it teaches you how to deal with financial problems in the future. said senior Alicia Garrett.

The 1986 edition of the Bearcat varsity gridiron squad was certainly not an exception to the rule. As the preseason training camp acc lereated in high gear so did the expectation of another playoff, and yes, perhaps, championship bound football squad. Unfortunately these goals never became reality as the Cats fought injuries, illness, and the bounce of the ball. The fact is, that for some reason, we were not playing well together in the first half of the season, said head coach Mike Skinner. We weren't playing fundamentally sound football. Even though the Cats started out 2-3, some considered this to be expected as the team opened with a schedule that was rated among one of the top in the state. The Cats traveled to Tucker County to face the eventual class AA runner-up Mountain Lions. GHS started out with a bang as they assumed a 7-0 lead, but Tucker County had too many big plays and the Cats fell, 16-7. After a victory over winless Phillip-Barbour, the team played host to the undefeated W-l Hilltop-pers. Boosted by the return of senior all-state line-backer fullback Brian Cochran, they recovered for a 12-6 lead with 2:30 remaining in regulation time. W-l struck quickly however, and gained a 12-12 tie with 45 ticks left on the clock. As all of Taylor County was bracing for an overtime, junior quarterback Alex VanPelt threw an interception with 5 seconds left.

Thrive On Adversity second desperation pass as they stole a 20-12 win. After slushing to a 20-0 win over Greenbrier West the Cats stood at 2-2 and in the hunt for a playoff berth. All chances of a tournament bid were doused, however, at Lewis County as the Cats lost another nailbiter, 19-14. But perhaps, this was a triumphant time because the team had been stricken with a flu virus and countless other injuries. Following the game with the Minutemen, the Bearcats assumed a sudden change in attitude and showed an incredible resiliency to adversity This was definitely the point at which we threw down the gauntlet and played physical hard-nosed football. Nobody wanted to lose again and it showed. I wish these boys could be rewarded with a purple heart because they deserve it, proclaimed Skinner as he saw his team fall to 2-3. During the next five games, GHS played with a vengeance as they annihilated University High 29-3, and state ranked Frankfurt 38-12. The Cats then made the always difficult trek to Lost Creek to battle the Hawks of South Harrison. It was hardly a contest however, as the Cats rolled to a 21-0 lead and went on to batter the Hawks 28-6.

Behind the running of sophomore sensation Danny Hebb and the power blocking of an explosive offensive line, the Cats spurted to a 14-0 lead over the Cougars. Playoff contending Lincoln wouldn't fold however, as Maclntire plunged in from one yard out to tie the game at 14. It became a brutal defensive struggle the rest of the way as Maclntire managed only 68 yards on 25 carries. But from 38 yards out, VanPelt booted what proved to be a winning field goal as GHS hung on to win 17-14. Now as the season wound down to its final contest, the Cats once again used the running of junior Chris Norris, Hebb, and new found talent Steve Freeman to bury Central Preston 20-0 and to end their season at a respectable 7-3. Skinner believed blocking was the key. “We had a strong, quick, and experienced offensive line that was probably more responsible for our success this year than anything else. Skinner considered the strong finish as a boost for next season. Some say adversity is not an ally but this ball club seemed to thrive on it. 63 Bearcat golfers may have had a slow start but they experienced an Excellent Ending Golf was an underpublicized sport that used a good bit of knowledge combined with athletic talent. Nobody knew this better than Coach Carl Mercer. During his first year as coach, he was met by a young eager team. The Bearcat squad had 14 members that were divided into junior-varsity and varsity teams. The JV included: Jeff Schrock, Colin Anglin, Tony Hussion, Jack Wolverton, Craig Stolzen, Paul Saltis, Brandon Debarr, and Tom Withers. The varsity team consisted of sophomores Brandon McDaniel, Terry Cole, and All-Big 10, All-Tournament golfer Brian Westerman. Westerman earned his spot on the All-Tournament team by shooting an 83, the third best in the tournament. The team also had two juniors — Steve Lough and Danny Johns. Johns shot an impressive 89 in the Big Ten Tournament, which was second best for the Bearcats in the tournament. There was only one senior on the squad, that seasoned veteran being Karl Faulkner. The squad had a record of 23-18-1. Coach Mercer said, The record wasn't really an accurate statement of the team's performance. The squad played many Triple A teams including Morgantown, which I considered to be one of our toughest opponents this year. On a final analysis of the season, Mercer said, The team did well, but had a slow start. They finished first in one out of the first five matches and then had an excellent ending finishing first in four out of their last six regular season matches. 64 Sports SIZING UP THE SITUATION. junior Steve Lough determines how he should moke the putt.

Sherri Hupp goes for it. Together proved to be the Key To Success Together! That was the key to the Bearcats' season. Granted, last years' 11 -9 mark wasn't bad but for this years' seniors it seemed different. Family is how senior Monica Willis summed it up. There just seemed to be segregation in the past. The team was very young fielding four freshmen on the roster. They were June Shriver, Jennifer Crimm, Melissa Moran, and Regina Rogers. Although they had a considerable amount of young talent, those who made up the starting line up, with the exception of freshman June Shriver, were all veterans. Seniors Monica Willis, Joan Hines, Dana Griffith along with sophomores Jaimie Rogucki and Sherri Hupp made up the starting line up. A rough first half of the season (5-5) was a result of the team not being unified, but, after that the team was like wildfire. The team pulled off upset victories over Washington-lrving, Phillip-Barbour, University High and East Fairmont. The girls had a six game winning streak (8-2 in the second half of the season) going into the sectional tournament. The Cats tried, but lack of defense was the girls' demise as they went on to lose 32-37. Coach Jim Gallhager was happy with his team's success but was disappointed with the tournament loss.

But there were two very special post season honors that went to the Lady Bearcats. The first was the selection of freshman June Shriver to the second team All-Big Ten basketball squad. June was the first freshman to receive a post season honor like that. The greatest honor was best owed upon the girls' coach as Jim Gallhager received Coach of The Year honors from the Big Ten.

Wrestling was a sport which was performed Cooch Bill McProuty shares some wrestling expertise with one of his wrestlers. One On One What did it take to be a Bearcat wrestler? It took strength, quickness, stamina and above all the ability to be an individual. A wrestler was an entirely different kind of athlete, although he was a member of a team, he walked out on to the mats as an individual. Facing his opponents one on one, he shared the joy of victory with his teammates and the agony of defeat by himself. Even with his parents in the stands cheering for him and his coach on the sideline urging him on, the wrestler's only true inspiration lay within himself. After weeks of hard preparation, the wrestling squad was ready to begin its quest for a winning season and maybe a state champion hopeful. But the year served as a rebuilding season as sec- ond-year head coach, Mr. Bill McProuty, and a large group of underclassmen took to the mats. Since there weren't many seniors to help me out, the underclassmen helped out a lot and really supported me, said Coach McProuty. Coming back from a good season in 1986, sophomore, Eric Coole, returned to try again at a state title. Working out every day to sweat off the pounds, Eric commented, I thought I would have a better season, but it didn't turn out that way. For some this would be their final chance, but for the most part, many would be returning. The school sent junior Mark Boyce to Wheeling hoping for a state title. I was satisfied this year, said Mark, but I wish I could have brought home a state championship. Wrestling 71 The Bearcat team finished the year with a Season Rebound As the Bearcat season started out with a roar — University High School was the thorn in it's paw making them whimper in the sectional tournaments. When the first basket for the Bearcats was made and the toilet-paper came streaming down onto the floor from the stands, which turned out to be a season ritual, one knew that the school spirit was back. After many, many weeks of hard conditioning practice, the season finally arrived. The Bearcat dribblers started their season out impressibly with a 7-1 start. They defeated East Fairmont in the opener, 86-84. On a road trip to Greenbrier the Bearcats split one with the Greenbriers. They lost to Greenbrier East 58-71.

The season as a whole for the Bearcats was an applaudable one with a winning record of 14-9. A few adjustments which had to be made during the season may have hampered their quest for a state championship. Varsity Head Coach Mike Crutchfield stated The two major blows that the team suffered was the loss of Junior guard Alex Vanpelt who was the teams top rebounder and probably best defensive player. Also the loss of point guard Craig Morse, due to injury, who was one of the teams leading scorers also hurt us. Coach Crutchfield also praised the performance of juniors — Brent Moran and Marc Criss, and the senior leadership of Jim Tank Cox throughout the season. Junior forward Brent Moran commented we can thank the experience and leadership of our senior players for a winning season. Also having some comments about the season, Senior Junior Boyles; the season was enjoyable, but could have been more enjoyable. Varsity Basketball 75 Working effortlessly the team saw their season as a Learning Experience The Junior-Varsity Bearcats proved they were a team during the season. Led by Terry Cole, they gradually improved against tough competitors like Morgantown and Washington Irving. J.V. Coach Alan DePiano said, They (the team) weren't the most talented, but they had the best team play of any team I have ever coached. The Junior-Varsity team consisted of thirteen players. They were Craig Sharps, Bob Fisher, Randy Durrett, Butch Rogers, Terry Cole, Mike Hines, Chad Bennett, Jamie Moran, Dicky Duckworth, Jamie Murry, Brian Westerman and Mike Knotts. Coach DePiano commented on his players during the season saying, Terry Cole and Craig Sharps provided us with some good play throughout the season. The J.V. Cats started with a loss to East Fairmont, but bounced back to nip Elkins by I. After losing to Morgantown in the sixth game of the year the J.V. Cats were 3-3. Beating Central Preston on Central Preston's home court, the Bearcats record dropped to 4-5. The team then lost the next 5, losing to W.l. and then being defeated by Morgantown at Morgantown. The Bearcats then won the next three straight games but dropped the last game on the road against a tough W.l. team. Coach DePiano said, We definitely ended on a strong note by winning our last three of four games. The 7-1 1 record was a little disappointing but Coach DePiano commented, These players polished their basic skills and learned some valuable lessons. The freshmen team had a disappointing year ending their season with a record of 2-11. Frosh Coach Tom Reneau commented about the season, I would have to say I was a bit disappointed with the record but the team really improved as the season went on. Led by J.R. Toothman, the team worked hard on the basics and really got the feel of competition going up against some very tough teams. Coach Reneau summed up the season when he said, The season was used as a learning experience for these players. J.V. Basketball 7 Wins 11 Losses 29 E.

But, if you were to ask a GHS baseball fan how the team did, you would hear a 180° opposite. You see, even though the Bearcat baseball team finished 11-14, their season was a success. A baseball team, as with any sports team, is centered around its veterans or seniors or in this case, one senior. Senior Brian Cochran had the unenvious task of leading three juniors and a group of sophomores and freshmen into the season. Brian's responsibilities were on third base and the pitcher's mound this year where he earned himself a 7-4 record. He was the core of the team but there were others to back him up like junior Denny Duffy, who has played since he was a freshman, and hit a respectable .266 batting average this year. Junior Dave Shriver pitched himself a 4-2 record over the course of the season. Toby Bolyard was called upon to play first base this year and did an admirable job. The younger players were asked to contribute this year too. Some of them were sophomores Chad Griffith, Dicky Duckworth, and Mike Hines. The Bearcats may not have played in that many stunning ball games, but they played solidly and began to form into a team. Cochran summed up the season by saying, We went out there and had fun and played our hardest and that is all that matters. As for next year, Coach Austin Upton feels that this year has built himself a Good foundation for future success. The players have gotten mature and depending on just how much they mature will decide the fate of the Bearcat baseball team next year. Boseboll 79 Tennis Team Members Experience a Bouncy Season Tennis team members got their season underway in the spring. The Bearcat boys' tennis team consisted of 6 players. The number one spot was senior Ryan Kittle, who had a very good season, coach Allen Depiano said. Senior Charlie Keener filled the second spot, while the third spot was held by senior, Junior Boyles, followed by junior Chad Curry. The fifth and sixth spots belonged to Rod Kittle and Scott Sinsel respectively. The Bearcat girls' team was led by senior Beth Springston, while the number two spot was held by Kellie Clelland, followed by Kristine Greving in the third spot. The fourth spot was filled by Becca Harman with Tracy Adlington at the number five spot. Debbie Murphy and Tara Curtis shared the sixth position. Chad Curry was the only player on the Bearcat tennis team to advance from the regionals. Chad had a record of 12-3 after the regionals. On the girls' team, Kristine Greving was the Big Ten Runner-Up with a record of 7-4. Kristine commented, the team's record wasn't that good, but I was satisfied with my own performance. The boys' and girls' tennis teams traveled together and played the same opposing schools. The Bearcat teams opened their seasons with tough losses to Saint Francis and Phillip Barbour. Both teams bounced back with a win over Lincoln, but then again lost to Bridgeport, to have matching 1 -3 records. Both teams still had identical records of 3-5 after 8 games. They boys were 4-5 before the Big Ten Tourney and the girls were 3-6. The boys ended their regular season before the regionals with wins against Lincoln, University, and Notre Dame, to have a final record of 7-6. While the girls suffered several losses but pulled out a victory over Notre Dame to have a final record of 4-9. FOLLOWING THROUGH.

JUNIOR CHRIS NORRIS strides out to be the forerunner as teammate senior Jim Work strives for more energy. The girls' track team started their season out on the right foot and finished with both feet in the winner's circle. The girls' track team, coached by Rich Bord and Mrs. Penny Coplin, helped lead on the body of tracksters fo the state crown with the contribution of a major team effort. Throughout the season the nucleus of the lady Bearcats was held together by the leadership of the senior members. Annette Gribble and Dana Griffith gave depth to the team in the field events — Dana placing second in the discus and setting a school record in the state meet. Jackie Hendrickson proved to be a great asset in her specialty, the 3200 meters; also was Becky Summers, who proved to be the inspiration for the team. Becky had an outstanding season which produced her four state championships and three school records. Contributing to the team's fine success was a Both the girls and boys ended up in the Winner's Circle strong group of underclassmen which consisted of state 1600 meter champion Christina DeBerry, high jumper Becky Metz, members of the relays Molly Summers, Bobbie Sue Rosier, Kelly Lantz, Melissa Moran, Jada Courtney, and June Shriver. The state track meet came down to the final event of the day, the 4x400 relay, in which the lady tracksters had to beat Doddridge County by three places. They actually won by four places to capture the win in the 4x400 and an overall meet victory with 61 points. Coach Bord stated, “that it was a tremendous effort on the part of the whole team. Bord also praised Becky Summers by saying that, “she is the best girl's track athlete ever. She is the only girl to go from the top middle-distant runner to the top sprinter in the state. She is the finest athlete that I have worked with. JUNIOR DANNY HEBB exhibits excellent running form as he rounds the final turn on his leg in the relay.

Seven seniors made up the nucleus of the young squad, and seniors J.D. Scritchfield and Ted Shoemaker were the team co-captains, along with senior team members Randy Dickey, Jimmy Work, John Walkingstick, Jim Cox, and Mike Ware.

VYING FOR A POSITION at Regionals, senior Jackie Hendrickson strives for another win. Winner's Circle made quite an impact in the hurdle events and also in the high jump.

Everyone proved to be winners, but only a few received trophies. Outstanding volleyball players were Craig Morse, Junior and Monica Willis, Senior. Most enthusiastic and crowd-pleasing cheerleaders were the Juniors. Trophies were given to the following groups: Decorations — Seniors (1st), Sophomores (2nd); Cheerleader Uniforms — Freshmen (1st), Seniors (2nd).

When school began in the fall, the squads were ready to go. Football games kept Friday nights booked as the girls and the Bearcat psyched the fans and team in explosive chants. Just as football season ended, a long schedule of basketball games was presented to the cheerleaders. Once basketball season started, the squads were busier than ever keeping enthusiasm going and leading the pride of Grafton High on one step further. In addition to practicing and performing, I had to find time for school work too, so it was hard for us to keep our grades up, stated varsity cheerleader, junior Kim Bolyard. It didn't matter whether the Bearcats were winning or losing, the spirit maintained. Although both seasons had covered a long peri- od of time, the girls always wore perky smiles and bubbled with spirit during all the games. As both seasons came to a close, the cheers that psyched both of the teams faded away, and the memories remained tucked in the hearts of twenty dedicated cheerleaders. When the year ended, the junior varsity and freshmen cheerleaders had memories of their seasons too, but also the hopes of becoming varsity cheerleaders in the future. The freshmen cheerleaders not only supported the freshmen teams, but at the varsity home games, they helped contribute by selling programs. Not just anyone could be a cheerleader. They were a breed of their own. They possessed a certain amount of school pride beyond just being one of the fans. They were always enthusiastic and the Bearcat spirit was in their blood.

Junior AJIiSon Davies and senior Todd Rodobaugh talk about college life with a wV State College Representative Being On My Own Not every senior knew what they would do with their life as they began their final year in high school. But by the time January rolled around, most college prep seniors had a general idea of what their future plans might be. Most had college in mind after high school graduation. Many seniors had selected local schools such as Fairmont State College, West Virginia University, or Alderson Broaddus. A surprising number of seniors planned to attend Sheperd College. Other schools on the list of college bound seniors were West Virginia Wesleyan, Marshall University, West Liberty, and West Virginia Institute of Technology. Some seniors stated they wanted a good education so they could get on with their life and have a good job. Annette Gribble stated, I look forward to accomplishing something on my own.

Getting out of bed every morning, trying to get your homework done, and hurrying to class — Does this sound familiar? Unfortunately, this is all too familiar to many seniors. In fact, it's so familiar it becomes routine. Going to the same classes, the same job, and doing the same thing day after day. Years pile on years of going to school, and the only parent-approved way out is to graduate. But what to do after graduation? PARENT: College, of course. STUDENT: No, no! don't make me go! PARENT: Yes, you must suffer. GO! And so you start your slow painful death. Not only do you have your routine schedule to attend to, but now you have millions of college catalogs and pamphlets to stare at. All the pressures of being a high-standing senior, picking a college, and keeping your job begin to bear down on you in massive amounts. Apathy overcomes you and attitude emerges that nearly every senior catches. You've got BURN-OUT! The I don't care! disease. It seems you've been in school forever and you're probably looking at four years down the road. Deciding you'll be in school for the rest of your life, you just try to trudge through each day. Wearing sweats or a t-shirt and shorts, you look as if you spent the night at school. But after years of research a cure has been found for this most contagious senior disease. Mary Colebank and Craig Watkins said partying would take them out of a rut. Craig also added, I take a day off and just fool around. I think about the fun I'll have living in Towers at the University next year, commented Patty Miller. Of course there's the ever popular cure-alls of spending time with a 'special friend' or watching a good movie. Rather interesting and unusual remedies were brought out by Melissa Frame and Beth Harrison. Melissa stated, I just scream Relgxing crfter o Iona dov of •school, seniors Anno Brown pnd Leslie Tighe wotch a Bearcat FooJbOtl-gome. real loud. Beth's answer was, I run naked through the woods singing God bless my underwear. Of course, these are all good suggestions for Senior Burn-out, and feel free to try any that you like — even though it's more fun to make up your own. But beware, don't laugh at any senior who has burnout, because you may catch it next year. — By Joan Hines 100 People Timothy Woyne Gump — Basketball: 9; Brian Richard Horki — Band: 9, 10, 11, 12; Mens Chorus Singers: 9, 10, 11, 12; Wrestling: 12; Basketball: 9; Football: 9; Baseball: 9, 10; Entertainers: II, 12; Student Council: 9, 10.

Debbie and Jenny are identical twins. Many students can't tell them apart but close friends that are always around them can. Debbie, the oldest of the two said, It's really neat having a twin but other times it isn't. It's great having your best friend like the same things you do.” Jenny agrees that they are best friends and said, It's great because I always have my best friend with me even when I'm home.” So the next time you see Debbie and Jenny Kinsey, don't think your eyes are playing tricks on you — they're not, you are seeing double.

Jackie Hendrickson, senior, said, When I started working, it was for college, but I still haven't saved a penny. Becky Summers, senior, on the other hand, puts three-fourths of her paycheck in the bank for college. Senior Brian Harki bought his $1200 drum set with his saved money from working at Bonanza in Bridgeport. I like to work because you get to meet a lot of people,” Harki said. Senior Wayne Goodwin said, It gives me a sense of responsibility and extra spending money, but it gets old after a while. 104 People Richord Roymond Poling — VICA: 11, 12, Band: 9, 10.

The left side of your brain controls the right side of your body. Therefore, left-handed people are the only ones in their right mind. Left-handed people face many difficulties in the classroom. Not having a left-handed desk or not having a left-handed pair of scissors are just a few troubles lefties face. Being left-handed makes it harder to write neater. When I am writing the ink usually smears across the paper, senior Crystal Priester said. It's hard to find guitars and sometimes bows that are left-handed, Ben Jenkins, junior, said. Left-handed people have to make adjustments for everyday life. You always have to sit on the end when you eat and when you write you have to put the notebook on your leg, said Heather Upton, junior. Since there aren't many left-handed people, the lefties have to make many adjustments to our right-handed society.

Near Valentine's Day, flowers were sold. Girls would walk down the hallway holding them with a proud smile on their faces. At Christmastime gifts were exchanged among close friends. Cries of Merry Chirstmas could be heard as students left the school for Christmas vacation. en asked about their favorite holidays, students gave various replies: My favorite holiday out of all of them is my birthday. That's when I get what I want and when you be- come a year older. said sophomore Jennifer Crayton. Weekdays and snowdays were holidays to students as well. Some students never got enough of waking up at noon to find a snow-covered ground and icy roads. Most students could not wait for Friday to roll around. They worked their fingers to the bone studying every night — until Friday came. Friday nights, they partied! They stayed up late and slept in on Saturday morning. Also, they didn't even look at their books all weekend. When Monday came they remembered the test that was scheduled for that day — oops! Whether it was a legal holiday or not, students took great joy in staying home as their parents wiped the tears from their eyes. 109 People Scott Godfrey Heather Goodwin Missy Gull Amy Hall Karo Hammons Becca Harman Lisa Hebb Richard Heberlig Kirby Henderson Danielle Heston Carla Hoff Christina Hostler Steve Hott Sherri Hupp Lisa Irwin Stephanie Isner Kelly Jacobs Eugene Jenkins Danny Johns Jeff Keener Dawn Kirby Becky Kirkpatrick Bobby Knight Gary Knotts Where Do They Keep The Books ? ock singers and movie stars stare out from locker doors as students rush down the crowded hallways between classes. Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, and Michael J. Fox are all included in this group of peeping Toms. Decorating the lockers was a big thing with students. Everyone had their own style that ranged from being lined with aluminum foil to just being plastered with posters (mainly of Bon Jovi). A neat locker? There's no such thing. Books and papers were piled high and coats were stuffed in. Stinky gymbags invaded some of the lockers until air fresheners were needed. Among all of this mess, students miraculously found room for their school books. Students made their lockers like a second home. (Let's just hope their rooms at home aren't as messy!)

The short people getting stomped on and the tall people doing the stomping. People usually associate tall people with basketball. This year that rule was broken. There were many short people on the teams: Jamie Moran, Terry Cole, and Brad Mankins are just a few. This may be a plus for the team. It is easier to steal the ball from the other team by crawling between legs and sneaking up on them. First someone jokes about how tall someone is, and then they find someone short and joke about that. Can't they make up their minds? What would the world be without tall and short people to break the monotony? They also help comedians make a living. What famous comedian doesn't use jokes about tall and short people? Whatever some people may think, it might be a very boring world without these differences in height (Although there may not be as many problems with stiff necks!) “How's the weather down there? may be common question asked by Senior Charles Moots. Opposites do attract as proved by couple tall Brent Moron and short Jennifer Duckworth.

Lots of people daydream about a place where they would like to live someday, a perfect utopia where they would like to live forever. Some students also daydream about a dream land where they want to live. Mike Hines — Either Los Angeles or someplace in Florida. Because it's always hot there and there is always something to do. Chad Bennett — Guatamala, because Guatemalan Felipe lives there. Michael McPherson — Ireland, because that is where my ancestors lived. Kim Smithmyer — Colorado — because of the mountains and the sights. Kristy Sterling — Figi Islands, because I'd like to see how people live there. Giselle Salazar — Back in Costa Rica — cute guys, dark tans — lots of sun! Scott Poling — On the moon — so I could say that my address would be the MILKY WAY. Robyn Henderson — Down south where it's always warm. Craig Sharps — Beirut, because there is always a lot of excitement. Jamie Davis — Russia, so I could be more appreciative of the U.S. Sherry Green — California so I could be a beach bum. Keli Peters — With Marc, because I love him. Lots of people dream about a place they wont to live. Seniors Diane Runner and Scott Poling discuss what it would be like to live in France.

Whether it be rock, pop, Christian, country, or even jazz. The majority here at Grafton listen to rock music. We polled some students and by far, the very favorite was Bon Jovi. But there were some other favorites. We asked some students who their favorites were and why, and here is what they had to say. Butch Rogers — David Lee Roth. He has a style that is wild and carefree. He doesn't care who likes him or what he looks like. He is independent and he has fun with his audience. Jamie Murray — RUN DMC — because I like rappin' and I like their language like chillin', illin', etc. Chad Bennett — Stephen Pearcy of Ratt, along with all the others of Ratt, Motley, Crue, Poison, oh the list goes on. Nicole Nicola — Beastie Boys — They are cool. Jody Newlon — I don't have a favorite. I think they're all a bunch of fruits. Michelle Moore — Amy Grant. I like her style, music, songs, and voice. This was the year for Bon Jovi. Sophomore Stacy Ridenour can't seem to pass up the chance to look at that pretty foce.

Sooner or later we all end up using one. That dreaded excuse for getting home late. Whether it's minutes or hours, a good excuse is usually needed to keep one out of trouble. We had car trouble is probably the best known excuse, but not the one used by these students. Eddie Flynn — Scotty beamed me to the wrong stop. Kevin Snow — I got lost. Jody Newlon — The bus broke down and Mr. Cartwright had to take everyone home on his motorcycle. John Rogers — Ronald Reagan stopped me and asked me which way the White House was and then offered me some jelly beans. Michael Bellair — I don't need any. Sherri Hupp — There was a wreck out at this certain place, and we had to wait for them to flag us by. Dave Shriver — I don't use one. Robyn Henderson — We got there too late for the early movie so we had to stay to watch the late one instead. “But Mom, we really did have cor trouble, honest! Robyn Ringler tries this excuse on her mother, teacher Mrs. Becky Ringler, but it doesn't seem to be working. 118 People Lovell Show Robert Shoemaker Alan Smith Crystle Smith Joe Smith Bill Smithmyer Kevin Snow Frank Snyder Leah Spencer Scott Springs Shelley Summerfield Molly Summers Jeff Takarsh Jason Tatterson Dawn Taylor Scott Tingler Donna Totten Laura Travis 4 George Tucker Missy Varah Beth Watkins Kevin Watkins Shannon Weidlich Brian Westerman Heather White Adam Whitescarver Brian Withers Missy Williams Greg Woods Just one more point and I could pass!

Are They Appreciated? December 1-5 proved to be a special week for teachers. The School Improvement Task Force designated these five days to recognize teachers and show how much they are appreciated. Each day the Student Council chose a Teacher of the Day. These teachers received various donations from restaurants and businesses in the community. A poll was held during lunch periods to elect the most prominent award, Teacher of the Week. Mr. Forrest Kelley received the award and was presented with a plaque by the Student Council. The administration also presented several things to all teachers. The week allowed students, administration, and faculty to share their positive attitudes toward one another as well as share the value of teaching, commented Mr. Kenneth Godwin. When asked what the most enjoyable activity of Teacher Appreciation Week was, Mrs. Rhonda Dean replied, The Teacher Appreciation Tea, which was held in the library on December 1, was a great way to start my first day of teaching at Grafton High. Teachers are seldom honored and they really appreciate the little things that say, I appreciate the fact that you are a teacher. The benefits of the administration and Student Council were set up to commend the teachers on their outstanding efforts and reassure them, You are appreciated. Faculty 127 Spare Time Activities Ceramics, sewing, singing, and hunting are among the few favorite pursuits in which teachers participate. Sewing, cake-decorating, candy-making, and scouting are a few of the hobbies that I enjoy. I like being active and believe that I should have something to show for each day that I have lived, commented Mrs. Arlene Decker. I enjoy working on my farm with livestock and I also enjoy hunting. I enjoy these because it gives me an opportunity to get away from the 'noise' and responsibilities of school, said math teacher Mr. David Knotts. Teachers spent a variety of time per week on their hobbies. I put in over 25 hours a week with the Emergency Squad, said Mr. John Taylor. Mrs. Lisa Manzo stated, I put aside at least an hour a day to enjoy a favorite hobby — spending time with close friends. Included in the teacher's list of favorite hobbies was the profession of teaching. I teach so I can help young people know how their world works and how freedom can be attained only by taking personal responsibilities yourself, was a comment from Mr. Gary Holling-shead. Each year students present a challenge to all teachers — a challenge to do the best job of education and preparing students's minds for tomorrow's world. Mrs. Janie Bolyorct.
