Classes needed for graduation points had to be made up during the hot months of summer. For many, the new school year began before the old one grew old. Football practice began in August and all the long hours seemed to pay off. A lot of pain and effort took our team to new horizons. The Bearcats captured the “Big-Ten”, the first time since 1956 and became one of the Top four in the State Finals. The Golf team made our spirits soar, when they placed 10th in the State Finals. Theme-3 PLACE TO BE Many long hours of practice lead our teams to victory and acheived an all-around sense of pride. Mr. Greg Cartwright made a big impression on everyone. He was the first principal from West Virginia invited to attend the Harvard Principal Academy. Preparations were always going on for some special event. Everyone was in a frenzy it seemed, getting lost in the hustle and bustle of togetherness. It was a year filled with the realization of a spirit that had long been ignored.

Weid-lich) Every person had his own idea of how to pass his free time. Many students held down jobs after school at McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the various grocery stores throughout the area. Working was an important asset to help with the expenses of being a regular teen. Many of the students got involved in extracurricular activities. Preparations were always going on for prom, homecoming or graduation events. There was always something happening. Many long hours were spent working on the musical, leaving little time for anything else. No matter how one chose to spend his time, something kept him hopping. Everyone worked together in one aspect or another, making GHS-THE PLACE TO BE.

Junior Sandra Moyer said, I was excited because I learned how to ski.” Whether there was summer school in the mornings or cook-outs in the evenings there was always something planned to do. There were more things to look forward to like being able to date during the week, said Junior Cathy Sapp. The Taylor County Fair was also open for a week. Sophomore Andrena Frank said, I hated walking through the mud but I did enjoy watching the crash up Derby.” “Summer, summer, summer, turns me upside down. Summer, summer, summer is like a merry-go-round.” “Magic”-the cars. At summers’ end many students were ready to get back to school and reaccquaint themselves with their old friends.

Griffith) Student Life-9 'A tremendous success! It gave the staff an opportunity to concentrate on school improvement without the hassles of day to day activities. We put together a positive package of improvements for the school,'’ enthused Principal Greg Cartwright recalling the Alpine Retreat. In the minds of the faculty and staff, parents, and Central Office Personel that attended the Alpine Retreat on June f6-18, 1987, lie memories of heated discussions, long meetings, lack of sleep, and most of all a desire to improve the school both structure-wise and attitude-wise. Not sure of what to expect, the group of 26 members left for Alpine on June 16 for their 3-day conference. The retreat concerned six categories: the previous year's successes and failures, the physical plant, the curriculum, staff behavior, student behavior, and ways to put new ideas into action. World Cultures instructor Brenda Gerkin commented, “I think the retreat was a really good experience for all of us. I like the fact that it wasn’t all rules and regulations—we tried to concentrate on making the school a better place. The group was divided into four committees. Each day the committees would meet to discuss their particular area of concern. Later, a meeting of all members was held so that each committee could present its ideas to everyone and further discuss them. The retreat was an opportunity to share ideas and perspectives on issues. recalled Judy Walker, English teacher. Because of this retreat, the faculty, staff, parents, and office members were able to talk out many problems and offer possible solutions. All members left Alpine with a sense of accomplishment and a positive outlook for the year to follow. To sum up his views of the retreat, psychology teacher Gary Hollingshead said, I think it was important to get away from school and family and concentrate on working together as a whole. Like Michelangelo said—You have to chip away in order to find the statue, in this case a dessirable solution.

I class has been another phase of maturity that many people have learned to face. Getting a job has insured many people with money for events such as dates, trips to the mall or parties. Usually most teenagers have wanted to save money to buy their own car. Junior, Mike Kochka who works at Davie’s Super Dollar said, I got a job to pay for car insurance. Most of us get a job to earn some extra pocket cash or buy clothes to keep up with changing fashions. Junior, Debbie Moore said, I liked meeting people at Long John Silvers and I saved the money to spend on necessary things.” Many people just need to have time to themselves away from home. Chris Marks, Senior, stated, “I liked working at Tucillo’s Pizza because it got me out of the house.” For some people they simply just wanted to have the responsibilities and experiences that come with having a job. Senior, Brian Fiendly got his job through DECA. He said, I enjoyed working in the school cafeteria because I got to work around my friends. The money that is earned is usually put into a savings account for college. Junior, Tracy Henderson worked at Holiday Inn in Bridgeport. She stated, I liked the job there because of the friendly people I met. I also saved money and put it into the bank.” Joining the work force for some people meant that even though their schedules would be rearranged there would be extra money to be saved for more allowances.

I’m still not sure what field I want to go into, but Career Day helped me narrow my choices. explained junior Alan Smith. Career Day was designed to enable students to individually learn more of their interested career choices. Career Day is a lot of work, but overall it was a hugh success. commented Mr. Dick Mercer, counselor. Approximately forty choices were given to the student, for him to choose the three careers he wished to consider. Some of those, choices ranged from Computer Programming, Travel Agency, Accounting, and Medical fields. At the general session, students were introduced to the many fields which they would be attending. Then each student had the opportunity to visit their selected choices. Of all of the many job fields there, I enjoyed the ROTC programs the best.” said senior Rod Gawthrop. Michael Belmear from Fairmont State College spoke to the student body and introduced the sessions. After the general session I realized the true purpose of Career Day , said Brandon McDaniel, junior. Career Day seemed to help students finalize their career field decisions and proved to be successful. -By Laurie Gelhausen.

It was a real surprise that I wasn't expecting at all. Band members had freshman initiation during band camp. Seniors make the freshman dress in strange and embarassing outfits. Snowdays can be special days. When you wake up to the radio listing all the schools with no school, unfortunately, Taylor County was never mentioned.

(Photo by J. Takarsh) to begin the 20th annual spring musical in Kenneth O. Godwin Jr. Auditorium. “Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'', a contemporary musical came to life on April 22,23, and 24. Months of preprations went into “Joseph . Finding costumes that fit the Egyptian setting was a tedious task. Although not all costumes were common Egyptian fashions, the Ishmalites were dressed in leisure suits and Pharoh's back up singers were clad in fifties’ styles. Costumes weren’t the only conflict that the production of “Joseph” faced. The set which consisted of two five foot ramps, a large raised platform and two eight foot triangles posed a bit of a problem. Four days before the opening night, while the curtain call was being staged, the right ramp collapsed with about thirty cast members occupying it. There were no injuries and the ramp was fixed within twenty-four hours in time for the dress rehearsal. Joseph was a different type of musical. It had no speaking lines. The audience had to depend on the musical narration of senior Becky Gaines, who portrayed the lead of the spirit. Joseph” was written for children. It told the story of Joseph by using unique techniques such as props and costume changes.

To senior Lori Kuhnes this musical will always be special, “I’ll always remember the finale scene, it was so sad for me because this was the last time I’ll ever be involved ' A newcomer to the musical scene held the lead role of Joseph. Matt Ball, sophmore, captured the moment he stepped on stage. Matt explains that portraying Joseph wasn’t always easy. “It took a lot of hard work, long practices and lots of yelling to really make the role of Joseph believable. Opening night jitters were intensified by the decreased public support but the cast produced another brilliant performance that will take its place in history among those in the past. One of Joseph’s” musical selections stated that Joseph and his dreams were ahead of their time and it was clear to see. “Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” was, too. (By Diann Devart.)

Graduation ceremonies for the class of 1988 were held outdoors on McKinney field for the seventh consecutive year. As the graduates proceeded down the track, photographers lined their path to capture the moment. Memories of growing up together played through their minds as valedictorian Mary Lynn Bunner presented her address on success. Bitter-sweet tears began to flow as salutatorian Robyn Ringler spoke about what it takes to be a graduate. All eyes turned to the platform as 162 classmates were handed their diplomas starting with the honor graduates and following with the rest of fhe class in alphabetical order. Photographers met each graduate with a click and flash. Student Life-39 The class of 1988 receives a final gift of gratitude for Grafton citizens.

Teachers and students made a continuous effort to succeed with Academic excellence. In-coming Freshmen were offered a choice in deciding which history and science classes they wanted to take first. A new program was added to the criteria, the Math Lab. Algebra I students met in room 108 to work on the computers when having difficulty in this subject. Advanced Physical conditioning instructed by Irv Braniff added an academic component involving the science of fitness. The female students visited a computer-scanned fitness center. The teachers worked on a new program to enhance the old curriculum. Teachers and students worked hard together proving that our school was THE PLACE TO BE for Academic acheivements. Hitting the books in World Cultures, students prepare for the next test. (Photo by H. Coole) — Pinning a flower on the ring bearer is Bride-to-be Becky Burns.

Required classes or CORE classes made up basic skill areas that our parents called readin’, writin', and ‘rithmetic. Counselor Dick Mercer explained, A student will not progress very far academically without possessing basic skill. They are essential for gathering and processing information.” Students often had conflict- ing views on CORE classes. Junior Tammy Gaines protested I don’t like being told what to do, especialy when it comes to required classes.” This attitude was very common among students who thought the required classes were hard or uninteresting. 44-Required Classes . f. • ,•: . o'%- %v V.° . •ON : .

Students felt the effort put forth by the teacher counted for a large part of the excitement in required classes. “Mr. Kelly makes Biology fun and we don’t mind being told we have to take it,” commented Freshman Sharon Devers. When asked to comment on required classes Junior Charles Dillon quoted, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” Many students at Graf- ton High School hoped for divine intervension when it came to grades. Although there were conflicting viewpoints to the issue of required classes most students agreed with Senior Kim Furbee who stated, I guess the classes are necessary but that doesn’t mean I have to like them.” Academics-47 Copying the pattern onto the wood, students in Keith Takarsh’s Industrial Arts Class practice woodworking skills.

These courses allow the students to focus their interests on classes that will be beneficial to their career choice. Some of the most pop- Vo4+ U mJt ular electives were Foriegn Languages, Yearbook, Advanced Physical Conditioning, Choir, Band, Advanced Biology, and Advanced Placement English. Senior William Watkins stated, I decided on an advanced math class because I'm looking at computer programming as a career so I would need to be proficient in mathematics.” Some students enjoyed less academic classes.

Freshman Becca Everly said, I feel that my elective classes benefit my future more. They were of my own choosing; therefore more en-joyabvle to attend. Sophomore Amy Montgomery stat- ed, “I feel that electives are more important to our academic stature. I think we should have the right to choose what we would like to study, but it's also important to take the requiredx-classes.” Mr. Kelley's Advanced Biology class was the toughest and most enjoyable class, and it was an elective-so that says something,” commented Senior Jimmy Brown. From these remarks one can arrive at the conclusion that the majority of the student body found their elective classes more appealing than their required classes.

This was the most common attribute associated with the Taylor County Vocational Center. Various classes were offered in a broad range of interest areas such as Health Care, Food Preparation, Business Management, Machine Shop, Computer Literacy, Child Care, Typing, Vocational Agriculture, and other areas. This variety appealed to stu- dents who were interested in a vocational career instead of coliigiate pursuits. Senior Becky Burns said, “The practical application of courses such as Typing and Business Management will make the transitional stages from high school to college much less complicated. 52-Special Classes . • • o ° ° ' ' • ’ .oZ v: V; VVv i •.y. « :,v.v • .v s'£ t:® vV •. ; : . ,v.• {■ 4 « . •. .• • • • . • • A I • ; ..• .•• I . - Senoir Tracy Adlington- ’Entertain- I . • ’• r f p Am ii rn 4 a I y-v ♦ a f 4a 4!a a(iaa a apJ ■ • . • . • ers required a lot of dedication and . •..

As the pre-season training camp started in the heat of August, the cats had a positive attitude, which stayed with them through the whole year. Despite the heavy rain and the running effort of junior Danny Hebb, the bearcats fells to Tucker County 19-13, in overtime. After the tough loss, the fighting Bearcats bounced back to shut out Philip Barbour 10-0. While playing one of the toughest defensive battles, the Bearcats came out on top of Washington Irving 14-7. With fumbles the name of the Coach Mike Skinner game, Coach Mike Skinner said, Every time we would fumble or get a penalty and if that wouldn’t stop us we would run into an official. As junior Jamie Moran hit a 22 yard field goal, the Bearcats went into halftime leading 3-0 during the fourth game of the season. Then on Greenbrier West’s first drive of the second half, they ran five min- utes off the clock as they took the lead and went on to win 14-10. The 2-2 cats returned home after a three game road trip with a loss. A challenge to the players by the coaching staff helped the Bearcats to defeat the minutemen of Lewis county. Hebb broke loose in the first quarter for a 64 yard touchdown to put the cats up by sixto go on to Bridgeport to play the 1986 defending AA Champions and handed the Indians their ssecond loss of the season. Jamie Moran found senior Brent Moran for a 61 yard junior high reception which helped Hebb with a two yard Varsity football members include: Front: Coach Rich Bord, Coach Irv Braniff, Toby Bolyard, James Taylor, Brian Moore, Scott Phillips, Jim Brown, Brent Moran, Jeff Woodell, Chris Noris, Benn Jenkins, Denny Duffy, Coach Mike Skinner, Coach Orville Wright.

With the final seconds on the clock Jamie Moran came on the field to kick a 18 yard field goal to win the game 10-9. With the win against the Lincoln Cougars, the Bearcats were known as the 1987 Big-Ten Champions. The Bearcats won against the Cougars 14-13 by a missed extra point kick in overtime. With Senior Night, the last game of the season, the Bearcats were not about to let the Cavaliers of Central Preston demolish their play-off dreams. While Hebb became the second Junior fullback to ever rush for over 1000 yards in one season, Grafton conquered Central Preston 48-0. Grafton went into the play- offs by winning their last seven games and being ranked fifth in the state. While being underdogs to the Bisons of Buffalo Wayne, with the time running out gave Grafton the win. This win gave Grafton the right to play Winfield in the semifinal game at Laidley Field in Charleston. With just one game left between the Bearcats and the championship game, the Winfield Generals handed Grafton a 42-6 loss to end the dreams of a possible championship since 1984. As the season came to an end, Coach Mike Skinner said, “We’re not sad because we got beat, we’re sad because we don’t get to play anymore. The AA All-State team named three Juniors to the 1987 team, Hebb was the only Bearcat to be named to the first team. Senior Chris Norris was named to the second team. The combination of Hebb and Norris rushed for eighty-five percent of the offense. Six Grafton football players were named to the All-Big Ten Conference football squad. Hebb was named to both the offensive and defensive squads. Other offensive players named to the first team included: Senior receiver Brent Moran, Senior tackle Brian Moore, and Senior guard Scott Phillips. The first defensive team included: Seniors Toby Bolyard a defensive lineman and Denny Duffy a defensive back.

The golf team's season started off on the right track with three first place finishes in matches against North Marion, Liberty, Roosevelt Wilson, and Lewis County. Then they went on the road and got stung with some tough losses against the likes of Bridgeport, University, Morgantown, and Buckhannon.

Coach Dick Mercer was a little bit disappointed but he knew his team could do better. The bright spot in the tournament was Senior Danny Johns who was selected to the all-conference team by shooting an 87. In the Region II tournament the golfers won second place and a spot in the state tournament. Johns led the way with a 79. Junior Brian Westerman shot a 92 and sophomore Paul Saltis added a 94. Saltis summed up the experience like this. It was a really good feeling to place second in the regionals and only being a sophomore makes me think that we can accomplish a lot more in my last two years.” In the state tournament the Bearcats finished tied for tenth. Although the team failed to make it to the second day, Johns fired an 85 and Saltis shot an 89. “It was really a great experience to go to the states and I hope the team can return next year,” said Junior Brandon McDaniel.

The Lady Bearcats came out running and captured their season opener over Lincoln. Bad times fell upon the Lady Cats as they faced University and lost the game along with sophomore guard June Shriver to an ankle injury. They dropped their next four games, but their spirits were not dampened. When they were finally back Coach Jim Gallhager to full strength they continued with many ups and downs due to ankle injuries to many of the players. The girls bounced back once again to capture five games in a row only to lose by one in the final game of the season against University. The Lady Cats faced Uni- versity once again in the sectional tournament. University controlled the game for three quarters, before the Lady Cats came back from eleven points down to cut the lead to two, but came up short to lose only by six. Our kids have got heart, they played well enough to win,” commented Grafton Coach Jim Gallahar. The girls also received many special post season awards.

One For All By Allen Shriver Wrestling is a differnt kind of sport than most other sports. Although a wrestler competes by himself out on the mat during matches, he competes for the good of his team. He faced all his opponents one on one. Even with his teammates and his coach cheering him on from the sidelines, he knew that he could only rely on himself to win. To be a really good wrestler, he must have quickness, strength, stamina, and mental toughness. The wrestling team gained these qualities through weeks of hard practice. During practice the wrestling team ran the halls and stairs, did mat drills, and Coach Bill McProuty worked on their moves. After weeks of hard practice the wrestling team was ready for the start of the season. The team hoped for a winning season and a chance to go the states. The year turned out a Junior Eric Coole gains control of his opponent during a match a the Regionals. (Photo by L.

Junior Eric Coole coming off an injury last season and Freshman Kevin Fox made a run at a state championship. Junior Eric Coole advanced to the Regionals and placed third in his division.

The basketball season started off on a bad note when junior Chad Griffith underwent knee surgery. The team overcame this setback by finding senior Mike Bellair as a replacement. After hours of tough, tedious practice, the team was ready for the first game. As the first Bearcat point was scored, toilet paper flew into the air to signal the Coach Mike Crutchfield excited crowd wanted to win. The season started off with an impressive win against Morgantown. Then, hard times fell on the team as the offense stalled in loses to Bridgeport and Lincoln. As the Bearcats went into Christmas break, they had to find a formula for winning. The team solved their problems during a much deserved rest and turned their season around by winning their next five games. The team had a big win over Philip Barbour in which they developed a stingy defense. After a win over Liberty, the Bearcats played Morgantown. Marc Criss hit a pair of free throws in the final minutes to win. The team posted two more victories over South Harrison and Lewis County. Then, the Bearcats played Washington Irving, but the Hilltoppers spoiled the Bearcats winning streak by handing them a tough loss.

One hundred and seven points were scored by the Bearcats in their victory over Central Preston. The Bearcats traveled to South Harrison and were handed their fourth loss of the season. The team recorded wins in their next two games. They crushed University at Morgantown and came back home to score an impressive win against Bridgeport. After narrowly defeating Lewis County, the Bearcats were defeated by South Harrison, who avenged a previous loss. The team won their next three contests with victories over Philip Barbour, University, and Central Preston. The final game of the season saw the team drop a disappointing decision to Washington Irving. The Bearcats started out the sectional tournament with a rout of Central Preston. In the second game, history repeated itself as the Bearcats, despite a furious last minute rally, were defeated by University. ”Our desire, intensity, and consistency just wasn’t there in the first hlf and that is why we lost the game. I just wish we could've played better,” said junior Terry Cole. Despite the difficult loss in the sectionals, the Bearcats still had a great season finishing with fifteen wins and seven losses. ”1 believe the season ended too abrkuptly because as a team we had the potential to go all the way.” said senior Marc Criss. Senior Craig Morse and Marc Criss received much deserved recognition by each receiving special honorable mention in Class AA basketball. Craig was also named to the first team Big Ten squad and all sectional tournament player. Criss was included in the second team Big Ten squad and all sectional tournament player. The honors I received were great, but a trip to the state tournament would have been awesome.” said Craig Morse. •+ ■ A University player shoots over the outstretched arms of junior Alan Smith (45) as senior Craig Morse (12) and senior Brent Moran (21) position for a rebound.(Photo by J.

By Michael McPherson For years the Lady Bearcats had to fight for the usage of the gym, for equipment, and for uniforms. The team practiced many hard, long hours after school to improve their strategies. Coach Laura Henderson devoted her time and services in training the 'cats to play to the best of their abilities. She said, This is the most talented squad we’ve had in all five years. Senior Dee Wyer said, I’ve played the game since my Freshman year in school, and I also enjoy playing with my friends.” Even though some of the players dropped out at the beginning, the team pulled together and tried to play at one Coach Laura Henderson hundred percent of their capability. A J.V. team was formed to help the new players and to teach them the basics of the sport. Holly Coole, Junior said, The best and most exciting game was up against Lincoln, but sophomore Regina Rogers stated, I liked it when we went and played section- als at Wesleyan College.

Cracking the Bats, The team took on Another season with A New Look By Tim Shaver With Mike Skinner coaching the Bearcat baseball team for the first time, he gave the team a new look. Returning for yet another season was over half of the team, but for Denny duffy, Craig Morse, Dave Shriver, and Toby Bolyard it was their last chance to bat for the cats. Senior Toby Bolyard said, “Even though I was injured and unable to play this season, I still felt like part of thexteam. Ending the regular season with a record of 13-15, they felt positive going into the sectionals that were held in Morgantown. With the first game against West Preston, the cats had no doubt in their mind Coach Mike Skinner of a victory. A victory is what they had with a score of 7-2. Losing the second game of the sectionals to University with a score of 2-3 gave the Bearcats just one more chance to make it to regional. Playing West Preston for the second time, gave the cats even more confidence than before and they came out on top with a 16-3 win. After easily winning over West Preston the Bearcats suffered a crushing defeat of 4-5 to end the season. Junior first baseman Mike Hines was named to the Big 10 baseball squad. Batting .418 and driving in 23 runs helped the cats become runners-up in the sectional tournament. Receiving honorable mention were pitcher Junior Chad Griffith and second baseman Junior Terry Cole. Coach Mike Skinner was well pleased with his teams' performance, but is looking forward to next season with even more confidence. With losing only four seniors, the Bearcats will have a mature team looking for a winning season. Sports-77 Playing tennis takes concentration, hardwork, and effort but it involves a great Deal of Fun By Michael McPherson Have you ever been in the mood for love”? Well, if you have, try a good game of tennis. Tennis is not all fun and games. Sophomore Rod Kittle said, I like tennis because it is a sport that requires endurance, but at the same time, it requires speed, agility and quick reflexes. Members worked on backhands, forehands and various other elements to aid in the success of the matches. Coach Alan Depiano stresses Coach Alan DePiano to his players that “If you play more agressively than you can win.” Squad members had various reasons for wanting to play tennis. Senior Paul Dave Louzy said, “I play tennis be- cause it's something that I'm good at and able to meet many people.” Junior Melissa McBee said, “It’s a fun sport and its challenging, but I’m not pressured to be better than anyone else.” Junior Jenny Gavitt commented that tennis gives me the sense of competition and I really enjoy meeting students from the other schools. Playing tennis took a lot of concentration, hard work and effort on everyones part, but it also involved a great deal of fun.

SportS-85 Scream, yell, and shout Because that is What it is all about- True blue and gold fans By Tim Shaver The estatic blue and gold fans had given the bearcats a boost to a winning season. The cheering of the fans gave the players that extra effort that it took to make a winning team. With almost all the sports having a winning season, the fans became more enthusiastic as the season went on. Senior Jeff Wooddell said, While being on the field its the cheering of the fans that can make a difference in winning or losing the game.

During football season, the band puts on a halftime show; while the cheerleaders perform at home basketball games. The fans gave the team a boost by not only supporting them through the bad times but routing them through the bad times. Senior John Paul Rogers said, It’s fun to cheer for the guys during the good times, but we're always there through the less fortunate times. One can say that the fans are true blue and gold fans because they are there through the good times and bad. 86-Fans During the Powder-Puff football game, fans Jerry White, Scott Tingler, and Tim Phillips cheer on the mighty bearcats.

Nothing, but they are sports that deal with the individual on a one to one basis. This is the way most people like to deal with the frustrations and problems that come with pressures from peers, parents, and school. Some people took out problems by hunting. The hunting season, which most guys mostly participated in, left the halls bare and empty. Sophomore Brian Knotts said, “I killed an 8-point deer on the first day of hunting season.” Junior Colin Anglin Hunter Bill Jenkins, junior, tried his luck. He said, “I hunt because it’s a lot of fun and it’s challenging.” While most of the guys hunted, the girls found recreation through the art of dancing. Sophomore Tiffany Bartlett, who has danced for eleven years, said It gives me exercise; it’s fun; and it helps me to develop self-confidence when I perform.” Some people felt relaxed when they were hunting or dancing, but others found enjoyment through other individual sports. Bicycling, bowling, swimming, andskiing, to name a few, were some of the past-times that the students engaged in. Sports-89 Showing off their strength with partner stunts. Varsity cheerleaders.

Rhonda Lake, and Kelly Has-Leigh Harman, Kelly Keener, Kerry kins. Cheerleading was not just jumping and yelling. It took much Overall Determination By Heather Upton As of August, 1987 high school cheerleading was considered an athletic sport in West Virginia rather than a hobbie or pasttime, and would follow the same rules and guidelines as all other athletic teams. The members of a squad must be able to cooperate and work well with each other if they intend to succeed. Their job is to provide enthusiasm and support for their team and home fans. In the past three years, GHS has expanded its cheerleading program to twenty girls which enabled more students to become involved. These girls were split between a Varsity Cheerleaders Freshman, Junior Varsity, and Varsity squad. The Freshman squad was mostly used to give upcoming cheerleaders experience on the high school level. They cheered for Freshman football and basketball games. The Junior Varsity squad supported the J.V. basketball program and alternated with the other squads for girl's basketball. Perhaps the best known squad was the Varsity squad which was made up mostly of Juniors and Seniors. I felt this season went very well. We had our ups and downs, but the girls all worked very hard, and it showed, said advisor Jane Summers. Throughout the year the girls held road blocks and bake sales to raise money for jackets, uniforms, etc ... They attended camps for a week at WV Wesleyan college in Buck-hannon where they learned various new cheers, chants and short routines. Cheerleading has a lot to offer and with the hard work and dedication of the girls, GHS has one of the best squads in the area. 90-Cheerleaders Anticipating victory, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders perform a sideline during a girls basketball game.

Catherine Marie Bolyard Price Of A Senior By Laurie Gelhausen When it all adds up, the senior year of a student seems to be the most expensive. Buying senior books, paying entrance exam fees, and renting caps and gowns were some of the expenditures of the Senior Class. It always seemed as if we were turing to our parents for more money every other day. “I try to help out and pay for some of my own things instead of always asking my dad. It shows him that I am responsible, I think.” commented senior Rod Gawthrop. Students with jobs tried to help cover some of the expenses and not depending on mom or dad to bail them out. When it comes time to apply to college, students are sometimes forced to pay entrance fees. Senior Dave Louzy explained, “When I sent in my college application, I had to send a small amount of money. But, it was all for the best because I was accepted.” In late October seniors gathered in the auditorium to order their senior momentos fro Josten’s. ”We got to order senior mugs, keys, books, and pay a down payment on our caps and gowns.” said senior Chris Marks. Although students may have spent a lot of money throughout their senior year of high school, it all added up to the price of a senior. Money, money, money! That’s all seniors ask for to budget the expense of a senior year. 94-Seniors John Edward Bolyard-Vo-Ag 10 Kimberly Sue Bolyard-Cheerleading 9.10,11.12; Student Council 12; Office Aide 11,12; FHA 9.

Richard Edward Heberlig Jr. Senior Memories By Laurie Gelhausen Walking through the halls...being late to class...ordering caps and gowns...signing Senior books were just a few memories of the Senior Class members. But what a better way to hold onto their cherished four years than to have a Senior picture taken. Many students got their Seniors pose, to capture the memories of their Senior year, for many photographers- .(Photo by T. Harris) pictures taken at Bell Studio, Olan Mills, or Buffington Studio. “I chose to have my picture taken at Olan Mills because I know for a fact they have good photographers,” said Blanda Taylor. Students were able to choose different backgrounds, different poses, and also many varying scenes depending upon the Studio which they chose. At Bell Studio, I got to bring a basketball, but sometimes I wonder if I should have taken my dad's Trans Am”, commented Craig Morse. Prices seemed to play an important factor when choosing where to be photographed. Bell Studio may be expensive , but you are really paying for excellent quality, added Lori Kuhnes. How else, to remember your Senior year, than by a Senior Picture. These are things, not only ourselves, but our parents and friends will cherish forever. Seniors-97 CartaSaio HoAA-FVAKS;Mica AA,A2.

Being away from home has changed the senior exchange student's life. From a town named Hol-stebro in Denmark, Inge began a new life on August 11, 1987 when she first came to America. A lot of differences are noticed between her home and Grafton. The population of Holstebro was 45,000. Education was contrasted too, you can graduate after the 9th grade. The atmosphere was totally different, meaning the environment, weather, and social life. Having an older sister and a younger brother, Inge becomes homesick because she only talks to her family once every two months. “We write back and forth, but that is nothing like being at home” ex- plained Inge. “My first impression of America was it was easy to contact people. She became interested in the exchange student and her family housed an Australian exchange student. Although a long way from home, Inge found herself interested in our track, volleyball and powderpuff programs. At home she was involved in swimming, soccer, and handball. “Football was great. At the games it was fun to meet people outside of school. commented Inge. On June 27, Inge left Grafton to begin a tour of the United States and returned home on August 2, 1988. We should thank her for coming to our city, for she not only taught us about her homeland but she also became our friend. We’ll miss you bunches, Inge!! ♦ With a smile on her face, exchange student Inge Hageson smiles during the Varsity Bail coronation. (Photo by K.

Although at times you may get frustrated or angry at your parents, you never seem to realize how lucky you may be. Parents are a special breed of their own. Their over-protectiveness and caring thought led us to the beginning of our lives. “I count on my mom for everything. She cooks, cleans, and helps me out all the time.” commented senior Cindy Larew. We may sometimes take for granted all the nice Senior basketball player Craig Morse escorts his parents Jerry and Maureen during Senior Night. (Photo by G. Gelhausen) things our parents do for us until one day when they aren’t there to wait on us hand-and-foot, like usual. Who's the one person to get all of your things organized and ready to go? MOM or DAD? Senior athlete Chris Norris said, “I always play or perform a lot better when I know for sure that my parents are up in the stands cheering me on.” Moral support is what it is all about. Always boosting our spirits or pushing us to do better is a special characteristic of a parent. My dad may nag me a lot, but it shows that he cares.” explained senior Dawn Kirby. Sometimes parents tend to yell, nag, or harass too much but that is their own extraordinary way of telling us (in so many words) yes, we care. There is absolutely no doubt about it that parents are a breed of their won. Although we never stop to say ”1 LOVE YOU” we assume that they know we care. But maybe if we would stop to say “Thank You PARENTS” they would realize how special they are for they gave us a terrific gift-the gift of life. So on behalf of everyone, I say to you parents a very special thank you! XXXOOO.

It all started when I asked my mom, “Can I drive part of the way home? Thinking she would say no. But unfortunately she said, “yes”. I climbed into the front seat, thinking “this will be a piece of cake.” We then began our regularly two-minute drive home, which started with a jolt, a quick foot to the floor and a movement of the hand. Finally I was all right. But, when I had slowed down, shifted, and pulled into the driveway the experience ended with me getting out the truck and my mom pulling the truck in. Our drive took 15-minutes. My second experience was even worse. My mom had forgotten her drivers license and I hadn't. We were on Route 50 on the way beck from Clarksburg. My mom pulled off the road, and again it was my turn to drive. I did just fine until I came to the stop light at 4-Corners. I stopped pretty good. Then it happened. The light turned green and I started to try to go. We waited through three green lights, then eventually I went very sudden and quick. We made it home with hardly any other major” problems. I then came to the decision never to try that again, until I was with my dad, who wouldn’t laugh because of nervousness. All this proves that an automatic is better for some people to drive. Junior Matt Reel is one of the few students who dares to drive a standard.

Students enjoy eating their nutritious lunches in the cafeteria. Some then retire to the gym to enjoy their free time. (Photo by R Colebank) By Laura Travis Come and get it! A famous saying that could be heard echoing through the halls before both lunch periods. Lunchtime didn’t just mean eating what was served in the cafeteria but also talking to friends, last minute studying for the forgotten test, and just taking a break from the rut of the usual classes. Lunchtime is a time to get away from it all and call Australia, collect,” said Barbie Logar, Junior. While other people would rather live a major stable life. TR Schoonover, Freshman, said, Lunch gives me a time to have fun with my friends.” Lunch also provided a time for in-turmurals. ’’Playing basketball during lunch is a fun thing to do,” said Sophomore Greg Rogers. However, some students prefered sitting in the gym watching people playing the sports. Junior Erika Miller said, It takes a lot of pressure out of the day by just staring at the people, running up and down the court.” Another popular thing to do during lunch was to study; whether it was homework that didn’t get finished or studying for a test during those vital minutes. Senior Dee Wyer said, I go to the library during lunch to study, but only if I absolutely need to.” There were many different” activities to be a part of, but the most common thing to do was said by Freshman Tim Thorn, “I enjoy just sitting around and talking to my friends.

Whether it's going to a dance at school, going to watch a movie, or just hanging out at someone's house, dating was a very important experience. Many couples find that the first date can be a terrible mess. Junior Erika Miller said My first real date was Homecoming my Freshman year. My dress came unbuttoned in the back.” After people begin to dating one person exclusively the dating world changes. Junior Kevin Snow said I like being able to depend on going somewhere with Janice ail the time.” Some couples enjoy doing the same thing every week. Senior, Steve Lough and Junior, Barbie Lo-gar usually go to the Mountaineer Mall and out to dinner. Other people liked going out with different people. Marcie Cox, Junior said I go out to enjoy myself with a friend. Some people would rather not go out but go to someone’s house. Whether its a party or a dinner for two, dating can be a fun experience for teenagers. Many of these experiences can be handed down in stories to future generations.

It had finally arrived and many students almost died trying to make it to that sweet port in the storm, the weekend! There were many reasons why some students lived for Friday. They ranged from sleeping in to just pure freedom. Sophomore Meshelle Pyles stated, “I like Fridays because they are the beginning of the weekend. John Rogers, senior, expressed his point of view, When Friday rolls around I’m ready to drop. I need the weekend to bring relief to my strained brain.” When Friday did come there was a certainbuzz of excitement that made people smile. The worst part about Friday was the waiting at 3:34. Students could be found watching the clock, seated on the edge of their chair and their ears perked longing to hear the sweet sound of Friday’s 3:35 bell. When the song” was heard the only advice to a by-stander was-watch out! Fridays were special days as students anticipated the weekend.

Senior Walter Cox “wastes” time during lunch while junior Chad Griffith and senior Keli Peters do during Photography .(Photo s by S. Weidlich) You wake up late for school and you don’t want to go...”. That’s a verse from a song that none of us will ever forget. Let’s take a typical bad day of a high school student. You get up late and hurry to get ready. You don’t have time for breakfast, but if you hurry you can get to McDonald's and eat on the way to school. Well, too bad, you have to stop for gas. Maybe you can get a candy bar while you're getting gas. You finally get to school justin time for class. You don’t want to work so what do you do? You waste time in class. While in class you explain to your teacher in your sad voice how all you had to eat was a candy bar, and haven’t got to go to the bathroom. Finally your teacher lets you go to the snack machine and the bathroom. After a very slow trip through the entire school, waving at your friends through the classroom doors, you go back to class. After you sharpen your pencil, which you hulnt for for ten minutes, you look for a piece of paper. After finally realizing that you keep your paper in your notebook, you start taking notes. Wait a minute, the teacher needs a volunteer to run an errand. Your hand flies up so fast it lifts you right up out of the chair. Alright, the teacher picks you. Please take this note to Mrs. jones, the majorette instructor. She is having practice on the football field,” instructs your teacher. Yee Haa, you can waste some time there. You fly through the school and are on the football field in no time. You return to class a minute before the bell, informing the teacher that you did’t qnt to bother Mrs. Jones so you stayed and watched the majorette practice. Now that is how you waste an entire class period. Wasting time in class is easy once you get the hang of it.

Many teachers seated, graded, and assigned reports alphabetically. Why do they do it? Obsession? Habit? Tradition? Who knows? Students had their opinion of how unfair this practical system was. The “B” in Brown does not stand for blessing in junior Donnie Brown’s case. The teacher always picked you first and you always had to be ready to answer but if your name begins with an “S or something Shawnette Pitman Shelle Pyles Marc Radapaugh Missy Raupaugh Justin Ringler Melanie Robinson Greg Rogers Regina Rogers Elizabeth Roy Misery you have time to come up with an answer to impress the teacher. On the other hand Adam Whitescarver explains how it wasn’t easy being on the other side of the coin. Having a name like Whitescarver means always being last and having all the good answers taken by everyone else.” Although it would seem that students in the middle had it easy they complained about getting lost in the shuffle. Through these domplaints it was clear that the age old saying, The grass is always greener on the other side still held true.

Everyone was in a hurry to get to their bus or car. They were pushing and shoving to get out of the school building. “I’m am always in a hurry to get home at the end of each day,” said Tammy Harris, junior. Everyone was moving so fast through the halls and down the ramps to get home. I am always relieved that school is over for the day,” stated Chrissy Edwards, junior. There was a lot of talking and laughing going on at that time. Everyone was rushing down the halls to their lockers. Jackets and coats were put on and books were taken home. There were lockers being slammed shut everywhere. That was the way the students left the school at the end of the day. The students rush to their buses and wait for them to arrive. (Photo by S.

A A Faculty Principal Attends Harvard Diann Devart Mr. Greg Cartwright, principal, took an adventurous trip to Harvard University this summer to attend a principal’s convention. There were principals representing several countries outside of the US as well as all fifty states. Mr. Cartwright attended this seminar hoping that he would attain new ideas to help make this a better school year. His daily activities included attending a large assembly where different methods of instruction were presented, and later splitting up into smaller groups to discuss individual school problems. Mr. Cartwirght was surprised to notice that many of the larger city’s schools have the same problems that we do. Mr. Cartwright, when asked about his trip to Boston, said This trip was an honor that I will remember for the rest of my life.” Principal Greg Cartwright The faculty probably feels like they’re in a school lunch line as they fill their plates at camp Towels.

He is the perfect example of tough love, because under the harsh exterior is a person who enjoys his work and cares about his student,” said Mr. Dave Knotts. Pappy has taught the subjects of American History, So-cialogy, Economics, and Physical Education, and coached the sports of football, basketball, and track. His accomplishments throughout his life would fill a book. Pappy grew up in Shinnston, WV, which was a mining and farming community. He went to Shinnston High School in the downtown area of the city. His first job was as a brake-man for Consolidation Coal Com- pany. After high school, he served his country in World War II. He was stationed in France and fought against the Germans. He came back home and got his first coaching job coaching football. Pappy became a legend in his own time. “The thing that I will always remember Pappy for is his dedication to his job. He took a dying athletic program and turned it into a juggernaut Program.” said, Mr. Greg Cartwright. Pappy has earned the high respect of all the students and teachers and his memory will be cherished. A teacher quit school! On Friday, January 29, after 32 years of teaching, Mrs. Margery Bolyard decided to pursue more fulfilling goals. She saw opportunity in her retirement. To some teachers, retirement was a sad time. Mrs. Bolyard agreed, but she stated, “I'm happy to have the opportunity to do some of the things I have wanted to do for myself.” Mrs. Bolyard described herself as a teacher with one word: DEDICATED. The most enjoyable part of teaching for her was Working with the young to encourage them to learn. I have tried to instill in them decent principles and being a good citizen by setting a favorable example.” Teaching is a hard job. Mrs. Bolyard, along with many other teachers found it hard to encourage the students to take a serious concern about doing the very best they could to achieve the highest possible goals. People-127 Unnoticed contributors By Katie Poling gfbody Educational destruction may be accomplished through the overthrow of nutritional advisors. Anyone seeking educational destruction could have easily been the victor through elliminating the employment of the cooks. They served brain-food to stimulate clear and calculated thinking needed for exceptional classwork. A major concern of Board of Education members was to assure proper nutritional values. This was to be provided through the preparation of balanced meals. The cooks “slaved over hot stoves , withstood the usual school cafeteria criticism, and provided each student with the nourishment needed to make it through the rest of the day. Matthew Nice and Eugene Hays keep busy with the repairs the school building constantly needs. (Photo by R. Dean) 128-Cooks and Janitors Working along with the regular staff, the cooks proved the importance of good nutrition in the schools. It's not only healthy, but helpful in the expected classroom activity. Although food is importance in everyone’s life, cleanliness is also a major need. The janitors worked to keep the school clean and safe. They cleared the halls of scattered trash and fixed broken lockers. But-this kind of work was just the beginning. It seemed there was always repairing or cleaning to be done: broken light switches, thermostats, windows, and, especially, the furnace. Complaints of knocking radiators” and lack of heat during the winter months were constantly heard. Broken lockers called them, causing them to race down the hallways with ever-ready chisel and hammer. Cleaning bathrooms was also a major chore. It was nearly impossible to keep each bathroom in stock of sufficient toiletries. Jane loves Brian” was such literature as was found on the stall doors and walls. Cooking and cleaning were considered to be the chores of a so-called menial housewife”, but these employees had hundreds of students to cook for and clean up after. Usually cooks and janitors weren’t referred to as a part of a person's education, but maybe in the future it will be realized that they did play an important role in the education of students.

The Bearcat Band, under the direction of Mr. Norman Adlington, Jr. began their season during the summer months as they attended a week long camp in Ripley, WV. With the beginning of school, they met each day for a regular class period to polish music and field maneuvers. With the end of football season, the '87 field show was soon forgotten, and-work began on concert music for “festival”. The band was split into two separate bands. The Symphonic band submitted a tape to the Music Educator's National Convention in February. To raise money for the final payments on the new uniforms purchased in the Spring of 1986, various fundraisers were held throughout the year. Pizza sales, calendars, and the annual Florida fruit sale were the community’s favorites. When asked what her favorite part of the band was, senior Kara Harman said, Performing in front of the home crowd for the past three years as a majorette has always been exciting.” Senior Becky Kirkpatrick said, “I will miss the band next year when I’m sitting in the stands watching others do what I have done for four years. Being a part of the band has always been a very special mamory for many, and it has provided exciting trips and lasting friendships. The members know that their many hours of hard work and dedication have paid off every time they hear the applause of the crowds following each performance. reafcrte Twirters are: Angel Rob- ra Goodwin mson.

Behind the curtain, there are 28 minds racing through the steps and songs in hopes of a mistake-free performance. When the clock hits performance time, the house lights dim, the curtain rises and the audience applauds. The stage lights flash on and reflect off the shimmering, blue outfits of the Entertainers XVII as the show begins. The Entertainers XVII performance, entitled A Salute to Broadway”, was comprised of a variety of music from the broadway theatre. Ranging from the powerful black spiritual Walk Him Up”, from the musical Purlie”, to the jazzy rhythm of “Alexanders Ragtime Band , the show was a microcosmic musical tour of the broadway stage. Many hours of preparation went into performing the fifty minute minimusical. Rehearsal of the music, perfecting the various stage movements and positions on stage, and working on improvements of posture, (not to mention making sure the face was cooking at all times), all went into rehearsals”, said Ken Godwin, Jr., Choral Director. The Entertainers were always in constant demand. Out-of-state performances included an appearance at Seven Springs Resort in Pennsylvania and participa- tion in a major southeastern show choir competition in Myrtle Beach, SC. The famous Greenbrier Hotel, in WV also booked the group for two days during its Twelve Days of Christmas Celebration. Being a member of this elite group requires a mature attitude and undying dedication to achieve the professional level of these 45 talented high school students. The Entertainers has been a great experience for me. By performing, being on stage, singing, and traveling with the group, I’ve learned a lot and had lots of fun. Thanks Mr. G.”, said Sophomore Mary Hefferin. 136-Clubs Seniors Heidi Miller and Chris Norris dance to the tune “Alexander's Ragtime Band” during the Christmas celebration at GHS.

The last page of the Re-Echo publication was placed in its envelope. The whole staff sighed-a feeling of complete exhaustion-was finally lifted from their shoulders. The year had been a demanding one. “Don't miss a deadline!” was always flying across the room. The times were tough, trying to get pictures of all the events and writing interesting copy. Layout and Design Edi- tor, Stacy Platter, always had a handful of layouts when going out the door after the last bell. Dedication, that’s what a good yearbook staff needed. Mrs. Rhonda Dean, adviser, was always helpful. She always took the time out for Birthday Parties. Sometimes she got discouraged, but most of the time she encouraged us to do our best. All the staff members stuck together. Helping each other in any way they could. “Why call ourselves a staff if we don’t help each other all we can. said copy editor Katie Poling. The sharing of responsibility always made the load seem lighter. Harsh words were never used; everybody cooperated and that is why everything always seemed to go smoothly. Of course the road was not without a little turbulence? The close way in which everyone cooperated made the production of Re-Echo '88 worth all of the time and effort that the award-winning staff applied to it. Gip fords, Brandy Latterly. Jamie Rogueki.

Organizations-141 By Heather Upton and Jefl Schmuck In addition to regularly scheduled classes and extra curricular activities, students also participated in special interest clubs and organizations such as: Key Club, Student Council, FCA, and SADD. The Key Club was active throughout the year with club meetings and lock-ins to provide fun activities for the members”, said Senior Becky Kirkpatrick. President, Matt Reel explained, We try to mix fun with Service, so that we are able to do community work and still have a good time. The Key Club provided volunteer services to the Salvation Army to ring the bell during the Christmas season, and helped decorate for school dances. The Student Council was in charge of Homecoming decorations, tickets, and the annual thuse. With the resignation of President, Becky Gaines and Vice-President, Chris Norris, Jimmy Brown stepped up as the leader of the organization, with Rebecca Harman as his assistant. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes was very active with their FCA, basketball team, drama team, choir, and special trips. We went to Canaan Valley to ski. The cost was only $9.00, and %•� ■ SPECIAL INTERESTS .•.v • -V • ;i vi I think everyone enjoyed themselves,” said President Charles Dillon. In April, the group was visited by members of the WVU Football team at an extended meeting after school. FCA’s main purpose was to give students helpful guidelines to put to use in their lives according to the Bible. During Varsity Ball, Homecoming, Prom, and Graduation activities, the members of the SADD organization (Student Against Driving Drunk) stayed after school, or met at members' houses to make posters which spread the group's concerns about drinking and driving. Posters could be found all over the school to remaind students that Drinking and Driving don’t Mix!” The SADD Chapter from Clay-Battelle High School came in and talked and exchanged ideas, said Senior Stephanie Welding. Special Interest groups were a big part of student activities, and a great way to begin lasting friendships.

The most important goal of band camp was to learn the field show. The show is presented at football games and band spectaculars. Learning the show was very tedious work. One move could take up a whole morning or even a whole day. Learning and perfecting the show took a lot of patience and understanding between students and director. The second goal of band camp was to have fun. There was plenty of time for swimming, tennis, golf, or just catching up on sleep. Friday night there was a party, freshman initiation, and the traditional game of Mission Impossible, which is a treasure hunt keep away game from camp guards. Freshman Curt Bunner said, “Freshman initiation wasn't too bad. The worst thing they (the seniors) made me do was dress me up like a girl. Students attended camp at Cedar Lakes but returned for practice on the school's football field. “Congratulations and Best Wishes to our Graduates” Hoagie Haven Rt. 50 West Grafton, WV Church of the Covenant Lutheran- Presbyterian Bethany College Bethany.
