Grayling High School - Viking Saga Yearbook (Grayling, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1978 volume:

This yearbook publication is the product of the labor of the entire Saga Staff. Grayling High School Crawford AuSable School District Grayling, Michigan Elizabeth Jackson, Editor Charles Kolb, Advisor Theme This edition of the Saga endeavors to tell the story of the 1977-78 school year, recording in pictures and brief stories the academic, sports, and social activities of the school community which is Grayling High School. 3 5 Prologue The school year began in an atmosphere of uncertainty as the School Board and admin- istrators sought solution to a financial crisis which threatened to close local schools by late No- vember. Area voters, facing difficult questions concerning the financing of local schools, twice re- jected millage renewal requests. Those who pay the bills clearly expressed the need for legisla- tive changes in the method of financing public education. Tensions created by possible early closing of schools caused many students and teach- ers to re-evaluate their educational performance. Hopefully, out of this period of uncertainty came clarified values and renewed dedication to excellence in education. 6 We, the students and teachers of Grayling High School express our appreciation to the voters of the Crawford AuSable School District who, on October 24th, voted to renew the millage. We recognize the many tedious and tension filled hours spent by members of the School Board in our behalf, and the high level of dedication and self control evidenced by the administrative staff of the school district. This yearbook seeks to tell the story of the 1977-78 school year at Grayling High School. The book tells the story of an educational program, but even more, the values and aspirations of the entire geographic community, for we are from your neighborhoods, your homes; we are your children. 7 River Scenes. Like endangered species of animals, the beautiful rivers, wet lands and forests of our area re- quire sensitive human appreciation and protection. These scenes provide a certain pictorial unity to this book and are to remind us that, while we are a separate school community, we are always part of the larger community into which our lives flow, bringing movement and energy and life.

His family homesteaded here in 1879. His wife's name is Carol and they have two children, Lacey III and David. The children are the fifth generation of Stephans living in Crawford County. Mr. Stephan attended Northern Michigan University at Marquette for five years. This is his tenth year of teaching at Grayling. He shares many interests with his students. He enjoys backoacking, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, and carpentry. We are sure you will agree that we have chosen the right man for the dedication of your 1978 Saga. - Mary Ann and Tina - 9 11 YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING WHAT RIGHT: Julie Wool me r BELOW: Bud Morris II ABOVE: Anne Rolfe RIGHT: Shawna Watters and Tamie LaMotte 01NI ind flOA 1VHM 9NIH13IAIOS dO 100 130 DOA nOA 1VHM DNIH13WOS 30 ±00 ±30 CIOA YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.

YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING WHAT YOU PUT INT Goal - A School Within For the past three years the GOAL program has provided an alternative for students who do not wish to participate in the regular school. Within GOAL, students and instructors work closely together to form friendships and teaching situa- tions which usually extend far beyond the limits of a regu- lar classroom. T. YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING WHAT YOU PUT I If GOAL is anything, it is 32 people working together to arrive at helping to make better human beings. GOAL is a chance for people to make positive commitments to themselves and to the people around them. It is a chance for people to develop trust and learn that most limits are self-imposed, and that they can be overcome. YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING WHAT YOU PUT jOAL is an academic program, yet one of the most important features it has is that of wilderness outings. 4,Throughout the year GOAL students backpack for four mweeks, finding themselves in situations which demand -concentration, endurance, and commitment. YOU PUT INTO IT. YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING WHAT YOU We are in GOAL because we want to change ourselves end our ways of learning, and we have often found that in the many demanding physical and social situa- tions we find ourselves in, we are often our own best teachers.

The purpose of the program is to provide released time from school and school supervision for students who have jobs in the community. The on-the-job training that the students receive complements the in-school training which occurred earlier. Co-op students may be released for up to four class periods a day and receive 1 credit per semester. They are also paid a fair wage by their employer for the work which is per- formed. Co-op can be a meaningful experience for college bound stu- dents as well as career oriented students. Y 00A 1VHM 0NIH13W0S dO 100 130 00A 'll 01NI lOd 00A 1VHM 0NIH13W0S dO 100 130 00A 'll 0. YOU GET OUT OF SOMETHING V Activities and Organizations Section Editors Dee Bindschatel Rosie Hoffman Homecoming The week prior to Homecoming there were many activities in- cluding: Balloon Toss. VW Stuf- fing, Apple Bob. Tug-O-War, Pyramid Building and a great Costume Day. 34 37 Homecoming was tarnished by the St. Ignace Saints who defeated the I ikes by the score of 28 12 The Vikes were stiff in the game late in the fourth quarter (14-12) but the Saints were not to be denied their spoiler role on this particular Saturday. Crowned King and Queen were Bill O'Mara and Becky Haskel. The Juniors won the float competion with their giant role of toilet pa- per We'll Wipe 'Em Out I 39 Why be satisfied with Homecoming Week? G.H.S. really got into the spirit of things at Christmastime. The artis- tic painting of Santa Kiss was painstakingly created on one of the windows by a number of our artis ts. The main office staff, along with their student workers, once again delighted us with a beautifully decorated office featuring bells and tinsel. On the bottom of both pages we see some of the action when Mr. Reynolds visited the V. Holiday Fiesta given by the Spanish Class, as he attempts, and finally succeeds in breaking the pinata. Mr. Stephan held a cake baking contest, and Sheely Fick and Todd Ounckley teamed up to make the boat, winning first hour Chemistry Class extra points. The boat tasted just as good as it looks. Last but certainly not least, Cindy Krey and Patti Rankin speak for all of G.H.S. in giving their message of Merry Christmas . M H Winter Festival Lifts Spirits ■w LEFT TO RIGHT: Kathy McPherson, Janie Gates, Dena Campbell (First runner-up), Janet Kucharek (Queen), Mary Marte la (Second runner-up), Linda Hill, Ann Kelly, and April Lozon. The Grayling Winter Sports Festival was held on two weekends in February and featured many exciting events including the zany downhill canoe race at Hanson Hills. The Student Council joined the fun and organized several days of fun at G.H.S. On Hat Day students wore all sorts of crazy hats, and on cookie day the Sophomore Class brought more animal crackers than anyone else. We were all pleased when Janet Kucharek reigned as Winter Sports Queen. 42 43 44 Why include the Great Blizzard of '78 in our yearbook? Not because it created tre- mendous hardships for the people of our state. Not even because we had a couple of days off from our class work to play in the snow. Maybe because we should have some pictures to look back upon when we tell our tall tales about the worst winter storm of the century. ‘ffie Blizzard of ’78 45 Band Camp Band Camp, as always, was fun and exciting. Every year the G.H.S. Band travels to Canada to spend one week of marching and practicing music at Camp BH-O-Wood. After the work is done there are canoe races, soccer, and baseball. At night there are skits and singing. Many campers bring guitars and we all sing a- long on these occasions. Many times the full band will go to Vespers Rock and practice marching music. It is very peaceful and quiet so it creates a magic music that every- one loves. The people who run the camp are fun and always invite us back another year. Cathy Marte!I a 46 The 77 Viking Marching Band made giant strides toward becoming a first rate corps style marching band. With head field commander Peggy Rettenmaier at the helm, the many sections of the band molded to- gether into a unique show built around music from the album Rocky . A week of band camp, plus several 8 a.m. rehearsals showed that this band wanted to be one to remember. Section leaders are especially impor- tant in corps style marching. Our second year flag team was lead by Senior Trisha Duley, the percussion section by Senior Mike Sabon, and our first year rifle team by co- leaders Ann Prieskorn and Pam York. Managerial duties were shared by Connie Troxel and Skip Olsen. 47 A A Pleasant Sound II I I I I I The 78 Concert Band showed more signs of maturity as they began to play more and more classics, with an emphasis on controlled emotion and rich sound. Still, individual achievements were many, with soloists Julie Wootmer and Rose Wolflin headed for the state festival, as well as our Percussion Ensemble for the 3rd straight year. In it's first year, the Viking Stage Band was a very popular group around the school, and around the town. Stage Band Concert Choir Pictured above are members of the 1977-78 G.H.S. Choir. The choir had a late start, but they still were able to bring us their annual Christ- mas Concert. Pictured at the right is their director Sherillyn Hoffert and accompanists Carolyn and Marion Ayers. 50 Bellringers Every year, the Grayling Bellringers gather together for a little bit of hard work and a large amount of fun. At Christmas-time, along with the Christ- mas Choral, they tour the area bring- ing music and joy to those around. The 1977-78 Bellringers include: Trisha Duley, Alicia Taylor, Diane Whaley, Karla Dosch, Karen Reynolds, Liz Jackson, Marion Matyn, Carolyn Ayers, Holly Nunn, and Paula Dosch. 51 Tech Theater FRONT ROW - Scott Rasmusson, Gary Hoag, Tom Gardiner. BACK ROW - Jim Kraus, Bill Bonkowski, Herb Stephan, Richard Allen, David Klann, and Steve Allen. 52 Without the efficiency of Howard Taylor and the Technical Theatre crew, our community would be at a great loss. These people spend many hours not only in classroom instruction (dealing with the various aspects of theatre), but also in actual pro- duction experience. The two largest assignments are the fall play and spring musical production. UPPER LEFT - Jim Kraus, Scott Rasmusson MIDDLE LEFT - Bill Bonkowski LOWER LEFT - Steve Allen ABOVE - Dave Klann and Herb Stephan 53 God’s Favorite With the combined efforts of Neil Simon, writer, Howard Taylor, Director, and an out- standing cast, the fall play God's Favorite was destined to be a success. Bill Bonkowski portrayed the ever suffering Joe Benjamin, to whom the messenger from God (Gregg Stan- di) tried to explain the meaning of life. Joe's wife. Rose (Maureen Hoffman) and their children: David (Terry Burns), Sarah (Toni Trudgeon), and Ben (Tony Thomson) helped to urge this hilarious comedy into action along with the two domestics: Mor- ris (Jerry Stevens) and Mady (Margie 01 son). Through the hard work of these people a- long with the stage crew, another master- piece arose on the stage of the Joseph Stripe Auditorium.

The highlight of the season came on parent's night. The season was climaxed with an ex- citing 40 to 37 win over Boyne City, played be- fore many parents and friends. The team was young and many players will be returning for a much awaited 1978 season. 73 BACK ROW: Manager: Lori Decker, Nancy Bitner, Brenda Carlson, Holly Nunn, Jane Baynham, Regina Methner, Shelly Kammer, Sheryl Wie and, Coach: Lisa Eaton.

Basketbal1 74 It may surprise you to learn that our basketball sea- son starts about the time the boys begin to practice for football. During this time we met our coaches and began to think and live basketball. We got into shape by practicing everyday after school. Although 1977-78 wasn't the best season, it was fun, and we have begun preparation for next season with high hopes. Many of the girls are going to summer bas- ketball camps to train for the coming season. A member of the team Re,f,Ll0 r9h,l RacndV, Skip °lsen- Kevin Wertenberger. Geoff Stand!

It's six weeks away and preparations have come to a standstill be- cause we can’t find the rules and regulations for holding and Judging such an event. Can you find out? — P.D.. Grayling. Choose your partners. Look for one with stamina though, because all a couple has to do to win is outlast all other dancers. While no official rules have been penned for dance mara- thon, ALSAC, fund raising or- ganization for leukemia and veteran of many marathon events, offered their guidelines for judging. Only requirement of dancers is to remain in motion on dance floor at all times, other than 10-minute rest periods which are sched- uled after every hour of dancing. What constitutes dancing will have to be judges’ opinions. According to observer for ALSAC’s last marathon held at U-M by Sigma Nu Fraternity, towards end of contest “no one looked like Fred Astaire,” and judges didn’t disqualify dancers as long as movement could be detected. Top couple at that contest lasted 40 hours and raised about $1,000 for ALSAC. You can inform Grayling High Schoor rock-and-rollers they’d have to last very long time to break any world record for marathon dancing. Dance endurance mark of 22 weeks and 3% days was set in 1933. 106 Action P Line 107 Junior Class JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Fawn Isenhauer: President; Pat Weaver: Secretary; Lisa Montague: Vice-President; Sue Ross: Treasurer.

Community School Program Section Editor Liz Jackson Community Education is a most important component of the total spectrum of educational services provided by the Crawford AuSab e School District. The fulfilling of educational needs that range from basic educa- tion to leisure time activities, from high school completion to vocational training, from personal skills to recreation are the goals of Community Education. 138 As our rapidly changing society places new and increasing demands upon individuals for increased skills, use of leisure time and vocational training, the fact of life-long learning becomes increasingly important. The Community School Program is an attempt to share the many fa- cets of a highly complex and diversified program to the residents of the Crawford AuSable School District, as well as the surrounding com- munities. The measure of the program's success is to be found in the on-going enjoyment, the acquiring of new skills, the adding of new di- mensions, and the enrichment not only to the lives of the participants but to those members of their families and to the entire community. -Howard Taylor 139 140 Editor’s Page As editor of this yearbook, I would like to express my thanks to all of those who have taken part in this publication. Most people do not realize how much work is put into the production of a yearbook until they take part in the production them- selves. We were fortunate to have a very dedicated staff this year, and through their efforts, this yearbook has evolved. The Saga Staff would like to say thanks to the following people for their con- tributions of photos towards this years Saga: Brenda Gabriel, Arlene Monks. Jim Kraus, Dave Shires, JoAnn Kesteloot, Dee Bindschatel, Linda Hill, Chuck Kolb, Phil Sabon, Phil Trudgeon, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Wert, and Mike Delp. We would also like to thank all of those who chose our book as a means of advertising. An ex- tra thanks goes to Mr. and Mrs. Wert for all the help they have given us not only this year, but also in past years. A very special thanks is due to Chuck Kolb, our staff adviser, for the time and effort he has put forth in order to make this yearbook our best yet -Liz Jackson Mr. Bovee Retires We have indeed been fortunate to have had Mr. Bovee as a member of our staff at G.H.S. for the past 29 years. Today, we know him as a counselor a G.H.S., but in past years he has been involved as: teacher of math, general business, chemistry, physics, drivers education, as well as play director, yearbook advisor, assistant coach in all sports, ski coach, bus driver, and class advisor for graduates of '57 and '66. Not only has he made contributions to our school, but. also to our community as an active concerned citizen. Looking ahead to retirement. Mr. Bovee tells of his many interests including fishing, golf, raising flowers and woodworking. We will miss Mr. Bovee very much as he leaves our school system this year and we would like to wish him the very best of luck for future years to come.
