We have an exciting, genuine show with a variety of enjoyable and spectacular acts that will surprise and entertain everyone. This show will include spirit and pride, challenges and adventure, and fun and laughter.” The performers in this circus have spirit and pride in their acts, just as the students of GHS do. The spirit of the senior performers is seen in the confetti, banners and signs at the pep assemblies. The junior’s spirit is shown as they upset the senior girls in the tug-o-war during Homecoming Week. The sophomores show their spirit when they The J.V. and Varsity cheerleaders show pride as they salute during the National Anthem. pride ... enthusiastically cheer on their team at the J.V. games. Students in GHS have pride in their school just as the lion tamer, the bareback riders and the trapeze artists do in their performances. See the pride as they spend hours after school making their Homecoming floats. Feel the pride as they take difficult and challenging classes and pass them. Hear the pride of the students as they cheer on the football team at Black Field. Along with the spirit and pride that is shown, we also meet many challenges. For most students, the biggest challenge is dragging themselves out of bed after a late night of watching Senior Shane Mahan practices a leer for his role as Dracula in the fall play Oracula, the Master of Evil. ... challenges and TV or slaving over books. Many people encounter other big challenges throughout their day such as passing Mr. Martin’s daily quizzes, making it to class on time, skipping without getting caught, keeping awake in Biology class, staying out of Mr. Matchett’s office, avoiding sophomore initiations, and one of the biggest challenges of all. just graduating. The CHS circus is also filled with fun and laughter shared by the many performers and spectators. Who could overlook the GHS clowns who roam the halls, putting smiles on faces and doing almost Junior Dave Schmaltz wears a pained expression as he does some last minute cramming in preparation for a test. Steve Blumberg leads the cheers and Bob Yakes cleans his shoes as the senior boys prepare for their tug-owar victory over the Juniors. adventure ... anything for a laugh; or the tightrope walkers who barely keep their balance while they make it through U.S. History or Senior Government. There are also the muscle men, the guys who claim to be the strongest and the bravest. They seem to be everywhere. We also have in our circus the fearless lion-tamers. Armed with text books and the authority to keep us after school, the teachers and administrators again try to tame the students at GHS. Did they succeed? But the circus isn't just the performers. It is the spectators who 5 ... fun and laughter. are intrigued just sitting and watching from their seats in the commons or the classroom. It is the managers, the leaders, who put the show together. And it is the workers who keep it from falling apart. The combination of all these different kinds of students creates the spirit of life “Under the Big Top.” The circus is nothing but unique from the beginning of the first act to the beginning of the Grande Finale. With the coming of graduation comes the most stupendous challenge of all, going out into the world on our own. As we grow older, we will always remember the fun and excitement we experience “Under the GHS Big Top”. Surrounded by the spirit of Homecoming, junior Paul Rydahl stomps through the commons in his powder puff cheerleading apparel. The tough junior girls, lead by Linda Ricket, strain against the seniors in the Homecoming tug-o-war. Absolutely crazy! The senior powder puff cheerleaders practice their unique cheers with their goal being total perfection. 6 Mr. Thomas Matchett, assistant principal bites the dust as he receives a pie in his face from senior Tom Hebert. Senior Steve Blumberg gives it ail he's got as the seniors pull their way to a victory over the juniors. Seniors Miki Feuerstein and Mike Dempsey work diligently on another winning design for the seniors.. Ill ttime Nostalgia was the theme of the ‘80 -‘81 fashion scene. Leading this revival of the past was the “preppy” look, which made its first appearance during the late “50’s and early ‘60’s. The look was characterized by monogrammed sweaters, oxford shirts, knee socks, lace collars, ribbons and baggy pants. Hairstyles also adopted the “older” look with the revival of French braids, ponytails, ribbons and barrettes. Designer jeans made a heavy impact on the fashion scene, but they also took a heavy toll on students' wallets. Prices ranged from S30 to S70. Despite all the attention the girls paid to fashion, it did not seem to rub off on their mates. The guys seemed content to wear T shirts and blue jeans. Many a pair of Topsiders found themselves pacing the floors when they came into style at our school. Was this the year of the ox? Oxford shirt that is, and they were found in multitudes of colors on multitudes of people. Calvin Klein was the new brand of jeans seen around GHS along with the familiar Levi's tag. The French braid was brought back like many other fads. French braiding was a skill many girls learned. Baggy Pants was probably what mother called Monogrammed sweaters gave a personal touch you when you were younger. Little did you to those who wore them. Initial designs were know that they would eventually be in style. also unique for each sweater. 12 BLEEP BEEP BUZZ!? Homecoming Week leaped forward Monday with Backwards Day. Dave Mallory took top honors with a costume including a pair of glasses, tennis shoes, jeans, blue t-shirt, and blue checked shirt, all on backwards. “Ready, set, suck!” kicked off Tuesday's competition. The 'A' lunch winner was Dan Ames, with Steve Blumberg taking ‘B’ honors. Steve won in the finals. “Twin Martians,” seniors Chris Brown and Kathy Muns tied with seniors Brenda Rigdon and Chris Welch as the people most likely to step off an alien spaceship. Wednesday, the seniors routed the juniors, 42-0, in annual powder puff battle. Miki Feuerstein won “Nerd Day” honors as the person most likely to be ignored. Pie Fating contest winners were sophomore Dave Ames in ‘A' lunch and senior Todd Andersen in ‘B the eventual champ. Mrs. Schmactenberger enjoys a handful of popcorn as she watches the Jackets upset the Lake-wood Vikings. Steve 8lumbergand Leslie Bauman nervously await the traditional kiss. Enthusiasim such as this is one of the reasons the seniors won the class competition. The junior powderpuff cheerleaders plan another suprise attack on the senior powderpuff cheerleaders. Greenville controls the planet Football as the sophomores pull the biggest upset of Homecoming, with a win in the float competition. H Q ill E r 0 i f J E Sue Ostrander, senior, goes for touchdown during the Powder-Puff practice. Joe Pastoor, sophomore, won Thursday’s space cadet competition in a costume complete with World War 1 Hying goggles with mustache and nose attached. The seniors won the Car Push in both lunches. A purple and gold color scheme dominated the school scene Friday, Spirit Day. The Senior harriers, Rob Kogelschotz, Kevin Bouck and Coleen Wittkopp wore the Jacket colors from head to toe. The seniors and sophomores jammed to a draw in the VW cram while the seniors won the hall decoration contest for the third straight year. Tug-of-war honors went to the junior girls and the senior guys. Kay Stankey, junior, cheers for her team at the powderpuff football game where the junior attempted the feat of beating the seniors l.f The Homecoming weekend started off with a parade of floats, pretty girls, and smiling faces. The sophomore float, featuring two planets battling against each other for the planet “Football”, won first place in the float competition. The junior float, which was of an outer space football game, came in second, and the senior float came in last with “Luke Skywalker” and C3-PO encountering “Darth Vadar” on a football field. The Homecoming court consisted of sophomores, Bryan Vaugn andTami Klepper: juniors, Mark Winters and Tricia Proctor: and Senior Fred Zamora strikes a sexy pose in his cheerleading uniform the day of the powder puff game. seniors, Marv Skinner and Sherri Rockefellow. The Homecoming King and Queen were Steve Blum-berg and Leslie Bauman. The parade was led by senior John Moy, Grand Marshall. After the parade came the most exciting football game of the season as Greenville upset highly regarded Lakewood, 20-7, with a fine defensive effort. The games high point occured at the end of the third quarter when the Jackets held Lakewood on a fourth down at the Greenville one. The Homecoming dance, “Space Odyssey,” wrapped up the festivities. A63UI John Forton and Gene Beckler were two of the many former students who attended the Homecoming game. Greg Gilmer seems to be suffering from claus trophobia as 19 seniors cram to a victory in VW beetle. HQ DEraiDinjE! Another one bites the dust! could be what Al Larson (87), Scott Kinyon (50), and Steve Blumberg (22) are thinking as they stop Lakewood's quarterback for a loss. Alumni Andy Pollock and Steve Thomsen enjoy dancing alona with juniors, Sara Drake, Theresa Bow, and Bonnie Larsen at the Homecoming dance. . Hlffl 16 Suck it in. Henweigh! says senior Fred Zamora as he tries to squeeze senior Terry Dehart into his cheerleading skirt. Not only did Ken Davis bring magic to the GHS audience, he also brought out the laughter in everyone who watched his performance. “Who me? Volunteer?” “Oh no! Here come some seniors!’ “I’m staying away from the Commons!” These were just a few comments from some sophomores during the first week of school. That was when the upperclassmen had to teach the sophomores just who was boss by initiating them. Pushing a penny across the “G” with their nose, singing “Farmer in the Dell, and learning how to skip with an egg in their mouth were just a few ways the sophomores learned to respect the juniors and seniors. The clowning around didn’t stop there though as Homecoming, Halloween and Winterfest provided more fun. The powderpuff, the Homecoming dances, the pep assemblies, the snowman building contest, and the other activities thoughout the year were just some of the entertainment. There was much clowning around going on around the school throughout the year. Many clowns went on doughnut runs, had pizza parties, ate breakfast in first hour, and dressed up like witches, martians, and space cadets. Seniors Louis Fierensand Denny Cook take a few minutes off from studying to clown a-round. 17 I “Mrs. Meyering, oops, I mean Ms. Jones, could you help me?” “Ms. Jones, when will Mrs. Meyering be back?” These were just a few of the questions asked from the students when Ms. Jones substituted for Mrs. Meyering. The students couldn’t tell from one day to the next what teacher they would have. “I wondered if she was crazy. It was neat. I didn’t understand what was going on.” Mrs Meyering came upon the idea of becoming Ms. Jones on the drive to school. Ms. Jones substituted for Mrs. Meyering for two weeks while she was in a sanitarium recovering from a nervous breakdown. “The students needed something different to change their motivation,” said Mrs. Meyering. while Junior Trisha fuzzy in American Senior Pat rerquson waits Sandie writes Pat a warm Literature. Many people struggled to complete every assignment for composition including senior Catny Hamman. Joan Perry and Jobi Smith, seniors, relax and do homework at the same time in Mr. David Hannah's class. Senior Lydia Merchun helps Mrs. Mary Meyering serve the cake her students made for her on exam day. Future counts on computer Assignment after assignment, the math students of G.H.S. struggled through their classes which could have oeen honors math, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, careers, consumers, data processing, the dreaded senior math, or any combination. The hair pulling, paper crumbling, and book throwing continued in every class. Puzzled faces could be seen at any math teachers desk. Mr. Ron Carlton’s data classes set out to tame the three computers that occupy his room. “Why does my picture of Snoopy look like a wilted flower?” or “Do 1 use a ‘for next’ or a ‘go to’ to make this program work?” were some of the questions asked. Most questions were answered, but some will remain as wonders in the computer world. Junior Craig Dakauskas works on his homework in Mr. Tom Seaver's algebra class so he won't have to take it home. Junior Lori Ingersolland Kerry Harrington lift the lid to catch a wiff of the delicious aroma from the sausage. 22 Senior Dan Ames puts his program in the computer while senior Chuck Muns watches for mistakes. Junior Jim Mortensen cracks some eggs while making his secret recipe for French toast in first hour honors III. Science It's a gas It was the last day of school before Christmas break and the aroma from Mr. Cliff Anderson’s room accented the holiday spirit as his chemistry students attempted to make candy canes using experimental equipment. Some groups ran into problems, “It took a long time to get the right temperature,” said senior Janine Manino. But the out-of-the-ordinary experiment was a nice change of pace for Mr. Anderson’s ‘overwork- ed’ students. Biology and microbiology classes lived through another two semesters of Mr. Robert Go wens and Mr. Robert Budge. Mr. Richard Walthorn’s physics class did the traditional as they visited Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. They also performed the don’t-break-the-egg experiment that every physics student encounters at Greenville High. M Juniors Joe Laurent, Einer Thorlund, and Tom Swindell attempt to scientifically make candy canes in a Chemistry experiment during X-mas. Seniors Louis Fierens and Steve Schuilina finish up an experiment in physics involving velocity, time and acceleration. Kirk Tran and Mike Stafford, sophomores, take a break from the eye-straining microscopes in biology class. Junior Tim Hansen watches as Junior Tom Swindell plays the Mad Scientist in Mr. Anderson's 6th hour Chemistry. U.S. history: The next edition Some day man will walk on the moon? This statement is a bit out dated and so were many other lines in the old U.S. history books. But this year the history students were able to read more up to date information in the new books that the school purchased. “I like the new books.” said U.S. history teacher Mr. Duane Chambers, “much better than the old ones. They’re easier for the students to read.” Sociology lightened up when students had to teach class. They chose different topics to lecture such as well known people or groups of people. Then they taught their fellow peers everything they had found out while researching the topic. Over all the projects went very well. Whether your social studies class was sociology, world history, world geography, senior government, or U.S. history, it’s past history now. Senior Bill Horton reads the chapter in Government so he will be prepared for the quiz tomorrow. Senior Steve Karlzen heils Hitler during a project in sociology about the American Nazi Party. 4 Senior Theresa Carrick prays while Svante Rudstrom, exchange student, takes a break from studying for the quiz. 26 Junior Polly Fox works with children, in Psy-cology, teaching them the fundamentals of playing games with others. Junior Tim Byrne checks to make sure he has the right definition for his homework assignment in U. S. History. Bilingual is best bet Is a second language really important in today’s world? This year the two language teachers, Mrs. Shirley Lamb and Mrs. Joanne Kro-odsma, made this topic the main theme in their classes. There are many jobs that require a second language and other jobs where being able to speak another language is definetely an asset. Students learned that in today’s society, foreign communications in business depend on the knowledge of two or more languages. Some students will persue careers which will need further education in the language they took in high school, but some will not. Either way, the teachers tried to stress the benefits of taking French or Spanish. Ezra Pound once said,“The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language.” Senior Jenny Rice reads one of the required books that is written in French while lounging in the library. Senior Troy Mathew strains to comprehend every word in Mrs. Joanne Kroodsma's Spanish class. 28 Junior Bill Nielsen and senior Bob Yakes work together on a skit to preform in front of the French class. John Turner,senior,steals a kiss from French teacher, Mrs. Shirley Lamb as he holds mistletoe over his head. Juniors Bruce Palmer and Brian Arntz look at Juniors Einer Thorlund and Kerry Harrington, King and Queen of the Fete des Hois. Letting the sparks fly is senior Joe Ritter as he grinds a part that he needs for his car in auto shop. Mr. James Humble, teacher of D.E. II, explains his side of the situation and senior Julie Schutte listens. M) Advantages in two hours There are over 500 students in ten different vocational classes. Why are so many students involved in vocational classes'? Mr. Kldon Horton, vocational director, said. “There are more students because vocational classes offer saleable skills in the iob market after high school. The vocational classes offered this year are: Agriculture Automotive Building Trades Cosmetology Distributive Education Food Service Health Careers Home Economics Machine Shop Vocational Office Practice Not all these classes are located between the walls of G.H.S. Cosmetology is taught at Montcalm Community College: Health careers is taught at United Memorial Hospital: and building trades is taught at the con-stuction site. Junior Jim Panks said. It’s a lot better than a regular class because you learn more. “With two hours of class you do not have to stop in the middle of it.” said junior Jeff Haney. Senior Sherry Erway takes a needed time out from her work in vocational office practice. Before handing it in, senior Sandy Harrier .hecks over her typing paper in vocational iffice practice. Seniors John Pountneyand Bart Hollenbeck work side by side while they bag groceries at Jorgensen's Supermarket. Senior Karen Garvey concentrates on typing a letter while working at the Credit Bureau of Montcalm County. Sophomore Dave Orzula cleans out the fryer as part of his many duties while he works at Burger Chef. 32 Senior Patty Ferguson takes some papers out of the copier while she works at Commercial State Savings Bank. Students earn credit, money Frying ham burgs, stocking shelves, and typing letters are a few of the jobs that over 100 students are doing on Co-op. Co-op is a work study program where students can earn money and earn credit towards graduation at the same time. Many students use an hour or two during or after school. If students wish to be on Co-op, they go to the Vocational Office and talk to Mr. Horton who tries to find them a job that is related to a vocational class that the student has taken or is taking. Mr. Eldon Horton, vocational director said, “It is an excellent way for students to get experience.” Sophomore Darin Reed undercuts the ball to put the correct spin on it as he hits it over the net. It looks like sophomore Sandy Winwood is flying through the air with the greatest of ease but actually it is harder to do the standing broad jump. 34 Gym expands curriculum “Gee, 1 can go swimming in January, bicycling in spring, and participate in a bowling tournament.’ These were thoughts of students when they heard about the advanced gym course. John Turner, senior, drops the 'birdie' while serving the ball to his opponent in 2nd hour gym class. Senior Gloria Tuin and exchange student Satsuki Takashima do push-ups as part of getting physically fit. Advanced gym class is a class offered for students svho have already been in gym class and want more of a challenge. “It’s a lot more fun than a regular gym class and more challenging,” said senior Cindy Gilmer. In January, the class went to Montcalm Community College to learn survival swimming, but that didn’t stop them from having fun. In February, they had planned to take a day and go crosscountry skiing but due to the fact that mother nature did not cooperate, it had to be cancelled. The regular gym classes had a good year also. They went bowling every Friday, played softball and volleyball, and don’t forget the stiffness of physical fitness. Miss Judy Hamilton said, “It has been a very good year. The classes have been small and cooperative. 35 Artists achieve ultimate For the creative student under the big top, art class offered something new and exciting. Stained glass windows, sculpture painting, and art history. “The hardest part of making a pot on the potter’s wheel was just centering the clay on the wheel. Then you could make your bowl, plate or whatever you wanted,” stated senior Lori Leoschner. The potter’s wheel may have been an ordeal for some, but for Mr. Blinn it was the budget cut that the art classes were given by the administration. This caused supplies to run low towards the end of the year. “Some years I get everything I order, but this is not the year. We used most of the paper that I had saved from the years before,” said Mr. Thomas Blinn. All in all, the classes did very well and turned out a lot of art work. There were many exhibits in the showcases, ant the art students also did posters for Homecoming, the musical,and Prom. The main event came at the end of the year when the art students held their annual art show. The show took place at the Community Center for the second year. Senior Chuck Fulk puts a few finishing touches on his pencil drawing of some wild zebras in advanced art class. 36 Mr. Thomas Blinn watches the style that senior Mike Dempsey uses in painting his sculpture for art class. Senior Dean Snyder watches as senior Mark Fitzner puts the finishing touches on his art project. Home Ec. sews it up Home economics expanded two semester classes, clothing and consumer foods, to full year classes. The reason for this change is because more students are becoming interested in home economics. Mrs. Pam Nichols said,“More people are enrolling in home ec. because of the feeling of closeness with the teachers. There is more one-to-one contact than in a regular class.” “You get to know the teacher more and are forced to talk and ask questions,” said sophomore Cindy Rydzeski. Sophomore Amanda Snyder carefully ties a knot in her string so she can begin her sewing on her shirt. Seniors Sheri Sanders. Becky Goodwin, and Robin Miller cut and sewed stockings and other Christmas decorations out of felt. 38 Substitute teacher Mrs. Margaret Buckley helps sophomore Terry Mason as she finishes her sewing on the machine. Mrs. Sue Mier talks to senior Tina Bergeron and junior Amy Palmer while working on their projects. Sophomore Bonnie Dahn,junior Cheryl Eldridge, and sophomore Donalyn Losinger work on the sewing machines. Sophomore Becky Switzer shares a conversation with a friend while finishing up a little hand work on her sewing. Home Economics Students work The industrial arts’ classes deal with a wide range of things; from metal shop to power mechanics, wood shop to drafting. These classes offer excellent background whether they use it for an occupation or hobby. This also gives them a chance to see if this interests them enough for a career. Mr. Duane Putnam, wood shop teacher, said, “We try to relate the classes as much as possible to industry.” The students have required projects that they have to complete then after that it is up to the students on independently what they want to make. “The students have to be dedicated otherwise the projects don’t get finished, then it is a waste of time,” said Mr. Putnam. Some of the projects in wood shop are grandfather clocks, hutches, roll top desks, and gun cabinets. Many studems enter their projects in the Michigan Industrial Education Society Convention. Many of the projects entered come out with ribbons. These classes aren’t all working on your own. There is also demonstrations, lectures, and yes, even tests. Seniors Pat Rood and John Finch work side by side while finishing their drawings in draft- Sophomore Kevin Ferguson pauses for a mo-n9' ment from soldering. Safety is an important aspect of Beginning Woods. 40 Senior Kevin Bouck works eagerly on his drawing which could turn out to be a winner at the M.I.E.S. Convention. Mr. Paul Sharrow, drafting and building trades teacher, works at his desk in second hour drafting. John Vos, senior, works towards the ultimate goal of every draftsman; a perfect drawing with no errors. Todd Mathew, sophomore, works carefully at cutting wood on the table saw for a project in Begirding Woods. Steve Andersen, junior, concentrates on focusing his Canon AE1 35mm camera in order to take the perfect picture. Senior Miki Feuerstein, ass't editor, shows the frustration and struggle of trying to tame the typesetter. The 1980 81 Hi Life staff; bottom row: Joyce Geldersma Coleen Wittkopp, Lori Northam 2nd row: Jim Panks. Vicki Dakauskas, Julie Johnson, Lori Painter, Wendy Gager, 3rd row: Steve Andersen, Luanne Kennedy, Jeff Haney, Miki Feuerstein, Jeanette Kiste. 42 Staff walks tight rope Junior Lisa Northam struggles to type her copy in order to get it done before the dreaded deadline. Seniors Lori Northam, editor, and Coleen Wittkopp, ass’t editor, work towards meeting their next deadline. “I only missed my deadline by two weeks this time. I’m getting better.” “I printed the picture right, you ordered it wrong.” “This isn’t the picture I wanted. It’s the wrong size.” It was a question from the start whether the Hi-Life staff of all females and an all male photography team could meet the early deadlines so that the students at GHS could receive their books in the spring rather than the fall. Many Saturday mornings and Monday nights were spent toiling on lay- • outs and wading through chemicals in the darkroom. The photographers used most of their spare time to take ad shots or develop pictures needed to make deadlines. Advisor Mr. Ken Varee commented, “It’s one of the best staffs I’ve ever had.” Head Photographer, Junior Jeff Haney enjoys the unusual peace and quiet in the darkroom as he loads film into his camera. 13 Union is small yet strong What class is made up of 85% sophomores and 100% girls? The same class is for girls who are talented and have a lot of ability. Well, if you haven’t already guessed it’s the G.H.S. choral union. “This years choral union group is the strongest group that I’ve had since I started teaching here,’’stated Mr. Will Nichols, choir department. They all sing first soprano, second soprano, and alto music. Choir Union did not go to regional festival this year; instead they attended the solo ensemble given on February 21, 1981. This was done because of the size of the group-only 20 members. “The Choral Union performed superior for its size,” said Mr. Nichols. The Choral Union also was the chorus in the musical ‘Boyfriend’ which was performed in the spring. Sophomores Penny Hamer, Debbie Deal, Linda Coppa, Dana Settlemyre, Teresa Wright, Cynthia Newkirk, Lisa Balko, and other members of the Choral Union try to memorize their music for festival. Choral Union; 1st row: T. Giles, L. Balko, D. Howser, L. Coppa, T. Clevenger, A. Craiq. 2nd row: T. Bergeron, P. Headlv, S. Neitzel, 3. Laban, D. Losinger, T. Wright, P. Hamer. 3rd row: A. Black, C. Kingsbury, B. Huntly, D. Settlemyre, C. Newkirk. Mr. Will Nichols, conductor, opens a gift presented to him by the Choral Union at the Christmas assembly. 44 A Ca ppella' Handles'Messiah The A’Cappella choir sang in six concerts including a demanding Christmas program. The choir sang five choruses from Handle’s Messiah. “Doing the Messiah showed the maturity of the choir, it also showed the students’ ability to perform well and work hard,” said Mr. Will Nichols, choir director. The choir continued with its tradition of excellance at the choir festival. The music they sang had the difficulty of AA, although Greenville is only a class B school. The participation by the choir in the musical ‘Boyfriend’ contributed greatly to the success of the performance. The choir began some new traditions of its own by initiating new members and by holding a banquet in the spring. The A’Cappella officers for this year were all seniors. They were Dan Ames, president; Kathy Muns, vice-president: Wanda Benton, secretary; Jobi Smith, Treasurer. 1st row: Ray Waldorf, Rich Christophersen, Marie Cushman, Gloria Tuin, Jobi Smith, Wanda Benton, Darlene Durham, Barry Moore, Vincent DePue, Brian Christophersen, 2nd row: Bob Merren, Terry Hyde, Becky Goodwin, Shelly Kromp, Tammy Bauman, Jackie Wood, Robetta Rogers, Jerry Darling, Susan Malone, Heidi Dibble, Joyce Geldersma, Sherry Davis, Willard Pool, Rory Frisbee, 3rd row: Ken Brock, Sherri Harding, Dave Mallory, Dave Ames, Kathy Muns, Amanda Snyder, Tim Smith, Tim OeBerg, Dan Ames, Sherri Goodwin. Senior Dan Ames correctly shows how to make an 0 sound as sophomore Tim DeBerg sings on at the Christmas concert. 16 Freshmen Becky Nelson and Chris Kremmer count the measures of rest carefully before restarting their parts in the music. Bill Jewell, sophomore, pays very strict attention to his trombone music in order not to miss a note. Lori Northam, senior, Stacy Swindell, freshman, and Trisha Ray, sophomore, patiently wait to bring their instuments to playing position. 48 Once is not enough Concert Band, made up of students in grades 9-12, was a fine band this year. One reason was that some of the members of Concert Band had experience in the Symphonic Band. Players such as Dave and Dan Sir-rine and Mika Powers, had band Concert Band; 1st row: J. Schutte, M. Tower, N. Peterman, J. Lyndrup, M. Elkholm, L. Buchanan, B. Deitz, K. Quist, H. Dibble, L. Kingsbury, J. Jensen, D. Arntz. 2nd row: D. Sirrine, M. Powers, C. Kremers, B. Nelson, C. Sorensen, S.

Gadow. twice a day. “They don’t get credit for it,” said Mr. Keith Hudson, director, “they take a session and get a permanent pass to band.” The duel instrumentalists perform as well as practice with both bands, having to learn twice as much music as the average player. The band started the second semester working to perfect three peices for the traditional band festival in the spring. Julie Lyndrup, sophomore, concentrates on fingering the correct notes at the performance at the Middle School. 49 Play it again. Sir The Symphonic band lead by Director Keith Hudson made it to the top as some would say. They made it to the steps of the state capitol. In January the Greenville symphonic band was one of three select bands to play at the Mid-Western Music Conference in Ann Arbor. After their performance the band received many letters from other band directors, heralding them as the best band there. Then, a week into February the band found out that they had been invited to give a performance on the steps of the capitol building in Lansing in honor of Michigan week. What was so unique is that the band usually has to submit an application, but the Greenville Symphonic band Front row: K. Jury, M. Van Harn, D. Webster, H. Younis, T. Dibble, M. Rood, P. Matthews, L Heydenberk, M. Small. Second row: K. Watson, B. Larsen, T. Sandie, L. McCloud, B. McConnell, J. Pastoor, H. Killgore, P. Rood, N. Thorlund, C. Brown, J. Burns, P. Mailing, L. Hammon, K. Muns. Third row: N. Walker, L. Nauta, T. Stauffer, S. Petersen, J. Finch, M. Liesveld, P. Tower, M. Powers, L. Fuller, M. was invited. It takes a long time to build up a band as good as this. It starts in 6th grade or lower and keeps going. Members go through concerts, countless practices, billions of notes, private lessons, and solo ensemble. They played for chairs, they played for audiences, and they played for their own satisfaction. Most bands would ask, “And what was all of it for?” But this band found out what all the sacrifice and windless lungs were for. They were good, and they knew it, and they made it to the top. Band officers were seniors Mary Small, president; Mary Leisveld, vice-president; John Finch, secretary; and Pam Matthews, treasurer. Stafford, D. Sirrine. Back row: L. VanHorn, A. Gerke, D. Hilliker, M. Dancey, D. Mallery, R. James, J. Mortensen, S. Karlzen, C. Muns, D. Sirrine, K. Visser, T. Budge, T. Vos, and last but not least, Mr. Keith Hudson, director. Senior Lori Wolf waits for the flash of the baton before she begins to play her instrument at band practice. 50 Junior Sue Petersen enjoys a good laugh before settling down to some serious rehearsing. Senior Mary Small, band president, gives a quick glance to her neighbor as she warms up at practice. Junior Dave Sirrine, and senior Pat Rood practice with the other selected members of the Tri River Honors Band. Sophomore Dan Sirrine, member of a solo and ensemble sextet, plays his part in a performance for the North Central Accreditors. Program grows The orchestra program, directed by Mr. Scott Tribby, improved this year. “It’s growing,” said Janine Manino, senior. Orchestra had 16 members consisting of seniors, juniors, sophomores, and two freshmen who had to walk from the Middle school every day for practice. The players worked hard preparing music for the festival in the spring. Though it is a small group, the players still performed with the greatest of pride. Sophomore Barry Bell plays bass-ically the right notes. Occasionally nis instrument accidently plays the wrong notes. Orchestra Director Mr. Scott Tribby leads the player through another piece for the festival. Merry Thorpe, junior, 'fiddles' around with one of the pieces the orchestra worked on for the Festival. Orchestra members for 1981 are; 1st row: J. Manino, K. Garthwaite, L. Thornburg. 2nd row: B. Belt J. Perrv, M. Dibble, K. Spach, A. Snyder, S. Choi, M. Thorp. 3rd row: Mr. Scott Tribby, director, T.

The group added more members, mostly freshman, while also acquiring new uniforms. Organized by Debra Kingsbury, the rhythm section performed at Freshman Chris Kremmer does her part in one of the Pom Pon girls' half-time performances. Kay Overland, Nancy Peterman, freshmen, Trisha Ray, sophomore, and Oebra Kingsbury, junior, perform at a home basketball game. the home, Friday basketball games. They practiced three times a week, and accomplished much. It was a big change when they enlarged but in the long run, more Pom Pon Girls will provide even better entertainment at the Friday basket ball games. The 1981 Pom Pon members were; 1st row: J. Shutte, C. Kremmer, K. Watson, K. Overlund, J. Antcliff. 2nd row: M. Elkholm, W. Osten-sen L. Kingsbury, B. Larsen, B. Dietz. 3rd row: T. Ray, N. Peterman, M. Plank, T. Hunsicker, D. Kingsbury. Marching Band 'notes' it all Senior Steve Karlzen and freshman Jim Disser, members of the tuba section, concentrate on hitting the right notes at the right time. The Marching band began their season with the annual march in the Danish Festival parade. Other special appearances were at Belding Labor Day Parade, and the Red Flannel Parade in Cedar Springs. Under the fine direction of Mr. Keith Hudson, the band consisting of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors finished this years performances with another season of marching to the beat of the right drummer. Through rain, dark of night, or Halloween the show always went on. Home football games were enhanced by the performances of the band during half time with a special treat on Halloween. The band performed their traditional “Lights Out,” show.

Even though illness and eligibility played a very important part in the starting line up, with at least two top players gone each game, their minds were set on doing their best. The team had a very fine start, winning the first game, then fell into a slump that was difficult to It was not until the last game that they redeemed themselves. They were ready, starters missing and all, to “cramp the style” of the Fremont Packers by beating them 8-0. “Considering the matter of being minus two starters every game, I think the season was quite progressive, especially towards the last couple of games,” commented Head Coach Steve Peffers. 1980 JV Football Greenville 6 Lakeview 12 'Lowell 0 'Cedar Springs 15 'Belding 14 'Coopersville 20 'Lakewood 0 'Fremont 22 'Sparta 36 Big Rapids Opponent 6 0 14 25 33 50 8 13 9 ‘ CONFERENCE GAMES Junior Varsity Football Coach Steve Day, goes over some of the previous plays with the team quarterback, Jeff Emmons.

Sophomore Kelli O'Brien watches tentively in awe as the Junior Varsity players move diligently for yardage, to accomplish their goal of winning another game. They’ve got rhythm in ’em Many people do not know just what cheerleaders do. They think that all they do is jump around, yelling out groups of words to try to arouse the crowd’s spirit. Well, they’re right about one thing, they do have spirit. And they show it at every game by including everyone in the crowd in every cheer they do. To help accomplish this task of arousing spirits, the varsity cheerleaders went to a cheerleading camp at Michigan State. Besides making up new cheers, they worked on getting in shape for the upcoming season. “Many of the workouts at camp were so tough that we would skip supper because we couldn’t go up and down the stairs,” commented senior Mary Small. Cheerleading Coach Ruth Drake, taught the girls just how fun and important it was to be a cheerleader. They started early in the summer and worked on “getting it together” ’till the rhythm fit every cheer. As soon as school began, so did the football games. And with the games came the cheerleaders, all ready to start the various projects to bring the spirit to G.H.S. Paula Loper, sophomore, reflects a letdown as the tide turns against the Junior Varsity football team.

Girl harriers dominate Lack of strength surely proved fatal for the Jacket Harriers as they ended another mediocre season. For the girls, however, it was only the beginning of what could be a “very encouraging” future for GHS’s newest team. “Always having another man ahead of our number one runner really hurt the team,” stated Coach Tom Seaver. Injuries and lack of preseason conditioning also set the team back considerably. With some last minute recruiting techniques, Coach Seaver was able to pull together a team to go on to win the Husky and Wayland Invitational and to capture the Confer- ence title with a first year team. “Missing state by only nine points at regionals was a big disappointment for all of us. We were really counting on going as a team,” said junior Ronda Bauman. The team was able to send senior Coleen Wittkopp to state as an individual though, after qualifying seventh at the regional meet. Wittkopp also broke and set new course and school records for the three mile run. Next year, the team will be faced with a great lack of depth too. Only one of the top five guys will be returning, and the girls will loose their top two runners also.

Ad-in Jackets The Girls Tennis Team got the “rhythm of wins” this year as their season worked out for 13 wins and no losses. “They won and they kept on winning” was the general comment from the people who followed their record. There were many high points in the season. The girls went undefeated with a conference record of 7 and 0, combined with a fantastic seasonal record of 13 and 0! They captured the conference title for the second year in a row. Sophomore, Hania Younis won the second flight singles and junior, Tricia Proctor won the fourth flight. The doubles team of Lorri Hartway, junior, and Kim Cathey, sophomore, won the second flight. The team was also victorious at the Sparta Invitational for the second consecutive year and placed third in Regionals out of a total of fifteen teams. With all of the great wins, there were surely many great individual feats involved. Hania Younis and senior, Lori Wolf were named to the Tri-River All Conference team, with the honorable mentions going to seniors, Ami Clafin, Sue Ostrander, and juniors, Tricia Proctor, and Shari Stendei. Individual award winners were: Dedication award; Lori Wolf; and the Ann Kraai Memorial was shared between freshman, Peggy O’Brien and Hania Younis.

Finishing eighth in their own invitational, sixth in the conference, and tenth at regionals, their best individual showing was at the Lud-ington Invitational. Senior Willy Nelson, shooting a 75 on the 18 hole course, was invitational medalist with senior Tom King runner-up. A lack of depth brought the team down to a fifth place over-all finish. King took the 9 hole course record for the year with a 36 at Greenville Country Club, and Nelson, the 18 hole record with his 75 finish at Ludington. Both were only three strokes off the school records. Nelson was named to the All-Conference team and King picked up an Honorable Mention. Coach Paul Sharrow stated, “I am looking at the future very optimistically. The team is only losing two players and we have some very promising sophomores coming up.” Get in there! may be what senior Tom King is thinking as he and Eddie Hearald from Beld-ing watch his putt roll toward the hole. 68 Willy Nelson, senior, flags the hole for senior teammate Tom King, who pulls out a successful birdie putt.

They failed however to advance in regional competition after a season-ending loss to Okemos. “The team was hurt on the offensive boards and killed on rebounds because of a significant size difference.” stated Coach Zondervan. “The conference as a whole didn’t have as many talented teams as in the past,” said Coach Zondervan. “It was still very competitive, but just lacked those super good teams,” he added. Leading in scoring honors was senior Mary Jane Liesveld, who averaged 11.5 points per game. The leading rebounder, Brenda Brown, pulled down 6.3 per game. Liesveld was also named to the Tri-River All-Conference team as a guard.

JV dribblers bounce back The Girls JV Basketball Team had a tough time “getting the ball rolling” this year as they lost their first three games. Coach John Hamel said, “ They didn’t realize how hard they had to work at the beginning of the season, but it didn’t take very long for the slump to end and for them to begin to win.” Another factor that jepordized their season, as far as wins were concerned, was due to the team’s inexperience. Even so, they played with a great deal of desire and intensity. “Im very proud of their effort. They realized what had to be done and they worked to get it done.” commented Coach John Hamel as to the improvement shown by the team as the season progressed.

Although the team got bumped out of districts in the first game, the season that preceeded (13-8) was one of many new records. In the Big Rapids game, Denny Cook tied the school scoring record, pumping in 42 points, while Kim vonKronenberger pulled down a record 20 rebounds. Cook finished the season with 416 points, one short of the school record. Cook and vonKronenberger were named to the all-conference team. Big Rapids was also the scene for three team records. The Jackets had their best offensive game and half scoring 104 and 65 points respectively. They also singed the nets at an 89 percent pace from the charity stripe. “Considering the extreme lack of size, the Jackets played “bigger” than they were,” stated Coach Kent Ingles. “We were probably the smallest team in the state of Michigan, but we managed to outrebound our opponents 15 of our 21 games,” he added. Senior Kim vonKronenberger battles around the arms of a Lakewood opponent as he pumps in a jumper for a Jacket lead.

However, a great majority of our games, may they be wins or loses, were extremely close and the plays demonstrated a lot of character by playing hard regardless of the outcome,” stated Coach Chuck Sandro.

Rather, it is a long season of tedious and tiring practices after school and lung straining cheering at the 20 or more games. “It’s really tiring but I like it or I wouldn’t be doing it,” stated senior Cathy Hamman, four-time varsity cheerleader. A lot of unknown work goes into practicing cheers to perfect them for the games. “The girls were very reliable and I think they represented the student body well,” said Mrs. Ruth Ann Drake, j.v. and varsity cheerleading advisor.

They didn’t quit,” explained Coach Bill Moore. “Their basic skill knowledge improved 100%,” Mr. Moore added. Assistant Coach Doug Crater worked with specific players on their weaknesses. According to Coach Moore, next year the team should be much stronger. They are only losing three seniors and many experienced players will be moving up from good J.V. squad. The J.V. team compiled a 9-5 season record. Les Bauman, senior, was named to the All-Conference team and was selected as Most Dedicated Player.

The group began their work before school started. They painted the wall at Black Field, and found a clapper for the bell Homecoming brought in a couple of new ideas. One was for a time capsule containing pictures, newspaper clippings, and other memorandums of Homecoming 1980. The second idea was for a Homecoming radio show, featured on VVPLB. This feature will be used every year. “There was great committee work,” stated Mayor Paul Mailing, “and as a whole, I think the coun cil was very effective.” The New Student Service Con mittee was arranged to help new students get to know our school. This began after the first of January. Also an enrichment day is presently being discussed, that would be a day when teachers tet their hobbies and interests insteai of regular classes. “The council wasn’t as active as I would have liked them to be Mr. Thomas Matchett remarked, but we’ve had a reasonably successful year.” rr Busy as an abeille “Do you have the purple marker?

This also makes the game more fun, exciting and relaxed. Senior Dan Ames said, “It’s a good way to get your tensions out.” Fighting, swearing and other bad behavior are controlled by Mr. Ken Reed, I.B.A. advisor, the team captains and the referees, who are members from other teams. Violates are removed from the game and replaced. Going into the final games the team led by Senior Rolando Ramirez, was in First place, setting a new record of 102 points in a game, while Tim O’Brien’s team was in second. Senior Pete Ralph’s was in third, Senior Chuck Muns made his team in fourth and Senior John Moy’s team was in fifth place. I.B.A. is enjoyed by the players because all seven members get to plav. “If you don’t mind the scrapes and scratches, it’s fun,” said Sophomore Chris Olsen.

It’s a really good experience.” 91 Jeff Evans, senior, participates at an FFA gathering, showing the symbol of the club.

Even though FFA is considered to be a predominatly male club, this year there was also one female member. And, that one girl is also the president of FFA. In the fall, the members sponsored an archery contest open to anyone in the school. The winner was an FFA member, senior Jeff Evans. He was presented a trophy. The group also picked corn and sold it to a distributor in the spring. Closer to the end of school FFA members bought and plane FFA members bought and planted trees. The FFA symbol is an important part of the club’s activities. There are many parts to it, each representing something different. As soon as any member of FFA sees that symbol, they know it has something to do with the FFA.

Jazz Band plays oldies but goodies Entering the band room on a Monday night you might be surprised to hear songs such as “The Charleston,” “A String of Pearls,” “In the Mood,” or other tunes from the 30’s and 40’s. This is just the G.H.S. Jazz Band holding one of their many practices. The 20 member band is made of volunteers from the Concert and Symphonic Bands. Jazz Band seems to liven everyone up. Junior Dave Sirrine remarked “I like the music we play in Jazz Band a lot better than what we play in Symphonic Band. It’s a more relaxed atmosphere. Symphonic Band is a lot of hard work. It’s not as much fun as Jazz Band.” The Jazz Band performed at some school assemblies, the Christmas concert, and at Adrian College. They also held a 'Pops’ concert in March. Senior Norice Thorlund stated “The atmosphere is to have a good time, especially since there’s only two girls in the whole Jazz Band, but we work hard. Mr. Hudson doesn’t criticize us as much as in Symphonic Band. I love the tunes we’re playing. My knowledge of music has grown very much since I’ve been in Jazz Band.” Taking a short break from playing his cornet during a Monday night practice is Senior John Finch. Senior Tammy Dibble concentrates intensely on reading her music while playing the marimba during a jazz band practice. Junior Dave Sirrine and sophomore Karl Visser practice one of their many pieces on the trombone. 91 Student actors recreate ''DRACULA This year drama took on a whole new look as certain G.H.S. students took it upon themselves to create their own production of “Dracula” The play was produced and directed by seniors Shane Mahan and Tim Robinson, under the supervision of Mrs. Pam Gress. Brenda Rigdon was production assistant. “1 hope that this can be used as a precedent,” stated Mrs. Gress, “also, 1 hope this will show teachers that the students can go ahead and take on such a responsibility.” The cast included seniors: Shane Mahan, John Finch, Troy Matthew, Paul Mailing, A1 Larson, Chuck and Kathy Muns, Chris Welch, juniors: Polly Fox, Paul Walker, Marie Cushman, sophomores: Lisa Dakauskas, and Teresa Hansen. The sets were all designed and constructed by the entire cast. Juniors, Julie Teman and Einer Thorlund lent a hand set construction and make-up.

Tina McLoud, sophomore, Joyce Geldersma, senior and Debbie Deal, sophomore concentrate intensely on the exact detail while painting windows. Never a dull moment The 1981 Art Club had another enjoyable year under the G.H.S. big top with many activities. Some of the things the club did was paint holiday scenes on the windows of local restaurants, carve pumpkins and eat a gourmet dinner, where members brought their favorite dishes. “All eleven of us got together and really had a good time,” said Junior Sue Peterson. The Art Club also participated in a do-it-yourself night where the members were trained in special skills, and attended a workshop at Montcalm Community College where they studied things such as glass cutting, pottery, weaving, sign painting, and portrait painting taught by local artists. Plans were also made to repaint the wall across from the science rooms. Joyce Geldersma, senior, “In the three years that I’ve been in Art Club, this year we were really a close-knit group. Sure, we have our jocks and our hoods, but in Art Club, it doesn’t matter.” 96 Tina McLoud, sophomore, adds the finishing touches on a mysterious haunted house which was one of the many window scenes.

Senior Phil Tower puts some feeling into his speech as he practices for an important forensics competition. 98 Debate, Forensics and Spanish Club were some of the biggest clubs this year. Debate students, under the direction of Mr. John Pawlowski, got into teams of two and chose an opinion on a certain topic. These ranged form the use of pesticides, to smoke detectors, to automotive seat restraints. Teams research their topics and present evidence at debates against teams from other schools about once a week. Mary Small, senior, explained, “You learn how to speak influentially. It’s really helpful.” Mr. Pawlowski also advises Forensics, which began in January. Sophomore Joe Pastoor described this club by saying, “You read prose and poetry for a rating and are judged by interperation, which can be humorous or serious.” Students sign up in February for the subject that they are interested in and have practice after school. Spanish Club membership grew this year from less than 10 to 23 members. The club participated in a taco taster, a fall hayride, a Christmas party complete with caroling and a pinata, a breakfast in February and a spring banquet.

This club ran the concession stand during the home basketball games and sold “Jacket Power” pins. Before each sporting event, Pep Gub members meet and discuss slogans and ideas for the up-coming season. The 16-member club divided into small groups and each group is responsible for one sport. “If you put something into Pep Gub, you’ll get a lot out of it,” said senior Lisa Sharlow. or traced from magazines on an o-pague projector. Not only do all the members on the team get a locker sign, but the coach gets one, too. This helps to raise the spirit of the team and the school. Pep Gub also makes signs for the bands, choirs, and individuals who go to state meets. Officers of the 1981 Pep Gub were LeeAnn McLoud, president: Rita Carter, secretary; and Robin Madole, treasurer.

Foreign students adapt well Satsuki Takashima works hard in her classes even though there are only six classes while there are ten in Japan. Eating rice three times a day, going to seven classes every day, and learning another language for five to eight years are some of the routine events which Greenville’s exchange students left behind. Satsuki Takashima came to Greenville from her native Japan. She stayed with the Lloyd Dibbles for her entire stay until she left in July of 1981. Satsuki started at Greenville High school as a senior with about five years of English. She took classes such as chemistry, gym, and she did well in all of them. For Satsuki there were many things she had to adjust to. One of the easier changes was the six hour school day compared to the ten hour day in Japan. The food she had to adapt to was different, also. Rice three times a day and green tea candy just could not be replaced by pizza and juicy fruit gum. Oddly enough to us Americans, she often got tired of pizza every Friday. From Sweden came Svante Rud-strom, senior. During his stay, he lived with the Roger Coles, the Einer Thorlunds, and the Roger Sages. He started school in Greenville, switching, from seven hours to six and speaking English with about eight years of the language behind him. In Sweden many other languages are spoken, forcing many of the citizens to speak other dialects. Svante could also speak German, Danish, and Norweigian. Svante said, “The school lunches are different, they’re better, and everyone can go back for seconds.” Lunches in Sweden are also less expensive. “Most of the food is the same. My favorite dish is Entrecote, he said. Entrecote is a French dish. He said he would return to Sweden, hungry for “Mama’s meatballs,” which is like mom’s homemade apple pie in America. In Sweden there are no sports in school. Teams are formed in clubs, Even though Ricardo de Sousa Fava speaks and different clubs play each other. “1 belonged to a hockey club, but there are also soccer, and tennis clubs.” Svante said he would some day like to be an engineer, and return to America. Commenting on the differences between America and Sweden, he said,“Almost everything is the same, but it’s the way that people think in America that’s different from Sweden. Everything is so hurried.” Ricardo de Sousa Fava from Brazil, came with little English background. He also came in the middle of the year because in South America, that is when they start school. Ricardo lived with Brian Guelzo, sophomore, and his family, learning more English every day.

In order to be in tliis group, members of the A’Cappella Choir audition and are selected for Village Green. The choir put in a lot of work, not only by rehearsing every Tuesday night, but occasionally before school. Wanda Benton, senior, said, “Village Green is a lot of work, but it is a lot of fun.” This year’s Village Green competed in a District Festival in February and received a first division rating which qualified them for the State Festival in April. They also attended a Madrigal Festival with other small choirs, where each group sang two pieces and then sang with the entire group. Another honor the group had was being able to sing and entertain for downtown groups during luncheons and banquets.

Mr. Clark Oliver, Oliver, principal, proposed tentative ways these should be handled. The tentative attendence policy allowed a student to miss only 12 days a semester. If he missed more, he would lose credit for those classes. It was also suggested that attendence should affect grades but where they draw the line is unknown. Mr. Oliver also proposed that three tardies equal an absence. A standard grading scale was also discussed. Here the student must get 60 percent correct to pass. Mr. Thomas Schmiedicke said, “Stu- dents only work to what you ask them to. Even 60 percent is a little low for passing.” Department tests were also suggested. For example, each Algebra II student would take the same test regardless of teacher. This brought up the question of students being able to exchange answers if teachers don’t give the tests on same days. According to Mr. Schmiedicke, the administration will probably make a few alterations in the suggested policy changes and the teachers must follow the Board of Education’s decision, but the Board usually accepts the recommendations of the teachers and Mr. Oliver. 108 Board of Education for 1980-81, Front Row: Row: Gerald R Nelson, Secretary; Mr. Vincent Mrs. Janet Ralph, Treasurer; Mrs!

Comments like this seem to be heard more and more often as the year goes on. Cheating occurs throughout the school year and most students have done it at least once. There are many ways of cheating, such as crib notes, writing the answer on your shoes, or getting the answers from a friend. Many teachers and students have expressed the way they feel about cheating. Junior Dawn Westbrook stated “It’s not fair to the students who do study. Many people are too lazy to do their own work.” Many students cheat because they want good grades. Their parents pressure them, their teachers pressure them and even their peers. Some students resort to writing answers on their desks or their hands, but the easiest way is by looking on the paper of the student beside them. Mr. Thomas Matchett, assistant principal, said “If we eliminate the pressure of getting good grades, less people will cheat. There should be a very stiff penalty for those who do.” Some ways that teachers curb cheating are: making students stay after school, or tearing up the test. Although some students are reprimanded, teachers know there are many more which have not been caught. Mr. Chuck Sandro commented “To be adult is to accept responsibilities. If the students aren’t prepared, they should be adult enough to admit it. Cheating has a lot to do with maturity. One way to prevent cheating is to teach the students to be responsible and that grades aren’t the end of the world.” Two close friends correct each others homework assignments everyday. Whichever problems are left blank, the corrector automatically fills in the right answer. The same two friends discuss the answers to a test the next hour. They ask “How can this be considered cheating? We would have known the answers anyway?” Technically, both cases are cheating but conversations including a few hints on a test and answers to a homework assignment are so casual that it is not considered cheating. Not many students care about preserving etiquette which includes cheating. Counselor Barry Nobles stated “Some students are so desperate that they’ll try anything. They simply make a decision to cheat. Cheating is compulsive, and either the student is unable or unwilling to do the work. They’re afraid that failing is worse than cheating. There is an unwritten rule that students don’t nark on each other. If this could change, the students could feel free to report others that cheat. Prevention lies within the students; not the school.” 14 7 Juniors hi! mi Mife crisis Being a junior is like being a middle child in a family. They want to go back to being a sophomore because everything would be new to us again and we can’t wait to be a senior and almost finished with school. Brian Arntz said, “I don’t want to become a senior and graduate because a I don’t feel ready for college.” On the other hand, Kim Jury said, “I can’t wait (to be a senior) because I want to get out on my own.” The Junior Class worked on projects to make back the money they lost on the Sadie Hawkin’s dance. Beth Cathey, junior class secretary, said “The reason why we lost so much is because the band cost too much.” They held a cake raffle at a dance to make up for the lost money. During Honors Week, the juniors helped hang the Senior Class motto. Eight juniors were also chosen to be honor guards at Swing-Out and Graduation. During Swing-Out the junior class president, Shari Stendal, received the senior key and the juniors officially became seniors. Being a senior meant something different to everyone. Happiness, frustration, confusion, anger, sadness, and excitement were just a few emotions that were felt during Swing-Out. But the one probably felt most was fear; afraid of graduating, being independant, and leaving the security of high school. U8 The 1980-81 Junior Class Officers are: Shari Stendal, president; Sue Petersen, vice-president; and Beth Cathey, secretary-treasurer.

V unies L mios ?'l PJ. ft hOMIOCHIH __ I POTATO CM«P _j ' IfitOi porHos'i Did you know that there are five basic food groups now? Munchies is the new added e$-sential food group. Up, up and away the gas prices seem to sky rocket adding more pain to a teenagers poc- 156 Money seems to be a big issue these days. Most students feel they never have enough. Many students seem to spend it similarly. For instance, if they have a car, the money goes for gas and repairs. If ‘Party in’ is their thing, cash goes for alcohol, etc. Then there are people whose only interest in money is to spend it on the opposite sex. “Girl friends are expensive,” stated one G.H.S. love-stricken male, “there’s dances, movies, dinners, but it’s all worth it,” he added with a wink. Where does all the money come from? Jobs. Forty percent of the students have steady jobs. The rest get money from parents or relatives. Grandmas are usually pretty good about handouts when their “loving” grandchild who needs a few dollars asks. It always seems that the police are around when you forget to put money in the parking meter, so many teens adjust to feeding the meters. Mike Dancy, sophomore can feel the pain in his pocket as he doles out 50 cents for Pepsi. Music is a big part of a students life, but the prices stifle some of the album buying. 15 The SQ9 i of o sophomore Wow, I finally made it! 1 got through my sophomore year and didn’t die because of the pimple on the end of my nose. When 1 walked into school on the first day 1 forgot where my locker was. Boy was 1 glad I had a friend to help me, and even luckier when 1 found out we had first hour together. 1 eventually made it through fourth hour, then came lunch. 1 hope nobody catches me near the commons or they’ll initiate me. They might make me push a penny around the “G” or sing the school song and 1 don’t even know it. It took a few weeks, but I finally found my way around. 1 can even make it to second hour without getting lost and having to ask directions seven times. Homecoming was a riot. The class didn’t do to bad in the class competitions. We made a super effort and ended up winning the float competition. The class picked a style for a class ring. We also had the choice between that and a basic style. 1 wonder what style my friends are getting? At Christmas time we got to decorate first hours. The teachers also told us to start preparing for semester exams. I had some problems on my English exam. I made it through exams and started second semester. The teachers sure know how to pile on homework. They wanted us to select classes for next year and we hadn’t even made it through this year. How did I know what 1 wanted to or should take next year. 1 didn’t even know what 1 wanted to do with the rest of my life, I didn’t even know what to do this summer and they wanted us to make plans. Well time sure flies by. It’s already the Friday of Honors week and when the senior key is handed over to the junior class president, we will finally become juniors. Sophomore class officers for 1981 were Pat Kropewnicki, president; Mary Rood, vice-president; Lisa Loeschner, secretary-treasurer. yja Tom Acker Pete Alvarez Val Anderson Dave Ames Kevin Arnold Dan Athey Suzy Ayers Kathle Bacon Ralinda Baldwin Usa Balko Dorla Bannen Joe Bannen Tammy Bauman Lorrie Beck Barry Bell Bev Benedict Tammie Benner Shelly Bernard Mike Bivins Angie Black Diane Blackledge Amy Braden Lisa Briggs Sue Brimmer Judy Bronson Rose Broomfield Billy Browning Ann Buckley Tom Budge Becky Bunce Teresa Burgess Steve Burns Sheryl Butterworth Taml Cardoza Roger Carter Kim Cathey Chris Childs Se Choi Ed Christensen Brian Christopherson Tom Clark Tammy Clevenger 159 Colin Cook Linda Coppa Rob Cornell Bobbl Covey Paul Craig Richard Crater Brenda Cushman Brent Cushman Bonnie Dahn Usa Dakauskas Mike Dancy Jerry Darling Scott Davis Debbie Deal Joe Dempsey Joe Dlttenber Bob Dow Steve Doyle Doug Drake Darlene Durham Debbie Echter Cheryl Elkins Scott Enbody David Evans Kevin Ferguson Shelly Fountain Steve Fox Elsa Fraln Rory Frlsbey Lewis Fuller Shane Gadow Steve Gager Tammle Garlick Kim Garthwaite Tina Gender Amy Gerke Roy Giles Theresa Giles Wanda Goodwin Kathy Gotwalt John Greene Bobbi Gregory 160 Dawn Grimm Bryan Guelzo Kevin Gunderman Penny Hamer Carole Hamilton Les Hamman Buz Hansen Chris Hansen Connie Hansen Jim Hansen Teresa Hansen Sherri Harding Bob Hart David Hendricks Margaret Hickey Mark Hicks Dawn Higgins Theresa Hillary Dan Hllllker LeeAnn Hodges John Hoke Cherl Horton Randy Houtman Dawn Howser Becky Huckleberry Sally Hunt Terry Hyde Rod James Robert Jasin Marlin Jeffrey Bill Jewel Ferris Johnson Wendy Johnson Darwin Kelley Ray Kent Cindy Kingsbury Taml Klepper Rich Kogelschatz Pat Kropewnlcki David Kyser Jill Laban Hong Lam 101 Tammy Lanning Jeff Lodlng Lisa Loeschner Paula Loper Donalyn Loslnger Julie Lyndrup Fred Mann Tonda Marlin Terry Mason Todd Mathew Tina Me Loud Tonda Meek John Melton Linda Miller Paul Miller Mike Mlnard Bonnie Moffat Barry Moore John Moore Kathy Moore Kim Mosher Skip Moyer George Munford Karen Musgrave Kathy Newland Tammy Northedge Kelli O'Brien Mike O'Herron Chris Olsen Mike Ostrander Melllssa Ostrowskl Tom Overcast Gale Paepke Pam Palmer Joe Pastoor Lorie Peterman Paul Pollock Ed Powers Tammy Procter Rey Ramirez Rose Ramirez Trisha Ray 162 Darin Reed Patty Reynolds Gary Rich Lori Riedel Rix Robinson Kelly Roger Shelly Roger Mary Rood Alicia Rupert Wayne Rush Steve Russell Cindy Rydzeskl Teri Sanders Jere Schleben Mark Schoenfelder Jennie Schropp Tim Schultz Stephanie Schutte Dana Settlemyre Tracy Sewell Tammy Sherrlck Dan Sirrine Jerry Sisson Jeff Skinner Kurt Sleight Kelly Smith Ron Smith Tim Smith Amanda Snyder Chris Sorenson Barb Sova Angie Sowers Eric Sowles will spencer Jackie Sprague Mike Stafford Burnett Stahl Theresa Steele Bruce Steffes Chris Straub Heidi Suremann Marty Swartzmlller 163 Becky Switzer Jenny Switzer Wendl Tabor Dan Taft Carol Taylor Katie Thompson Tammy Thompson Denise Thorlund Eric Thorlund Dewayne Thornburg Kim Tiffany Jon Tomlinson Kirk Tran Roland Transon Mike Tuln Bob Uhnavy Laurie VanHorn Bryan Vaughn Rick Vlsch Karl Vlsser Terry Vos Jim Waldron Wendy Walker Ray Waldorf Kim Watklnson Joe Welch Shane Wierda Sandy Winwood Michelle Wise Chad Wittkopp Jackie Wood Teresa Wright Tim Wyckoff Hanla Vounis Kim Zick 164 165 Gibson APPLIANCE' CENTER 168 GREENVILLE, MICHIGAN 48838 (616) 754-5621 “We care enough to send our best” at GREENVILLE FLORAL, 225 S.

They look like substitute teachers but all the regulars are here. Every now and then you catch a glimpse of them talking to a student or teacher; or maybe pa-iently waiting outside of a classroom. Well, these people are very “special.” They assist students with unique needs. Some of these people are employed by the Greenville Public Schools while others are employed by the Montcalm Intermediate School District. They not only help the Greenville school system, but other schools too. Mr. David Meyer, school psychologist, tests students to make sure they are in the proper grade level and to detect any problems they may have. Mr. Robert Rannie works with migrant students to help them have a better understanding of English. “These kids can speak and understand English better than their native language. But, they do have problems understanding big words in the English vocabulary,” said Mr. Rannie. Ms. Cheryl Jones, speech Correc-tionist, works with students who have speech impairments or difficulty enunciating words. Mrs. Dorthy Olivier works with the Greenville Public Schools for two days a week. Mr. Bruce Fox is the school social worker. He is employed full time by Greenville public schools. We also have two teachers who make house calls. Mrs Nancy Strait works with students in the continuous education program, and Mrs. Lucille Jensen works with students who are homebound or in the hos: pital. The only time these teachers School social worker, Mrs. Dorothy Oliver talks with junior Mike Dancy. Mrs. Oliver helps students and their families cope with problems they may be having. Mrs. Cheryl Jones, speech correctionist, helps bilingual students understand their English classes better. 190 School nurse, Mrs. Carol Teman works out of the counciling office. Her job as the school nurse is to examine students who become ill at school. are in a sctiool is when they have to get the assignments from the regular teacher. Mrs. Carol Teman, school nurse, tends to the needs of students who become ill at school. Mrs. Teman also keeps the health records of all the students. Mr. Dar Morgan works for Eight-Cap as a coordinator for Youth Employment. He sets up CETA jobs for students and then checks to make sure that things are working out. These people are indeed “special” people. They don’t have their own offices or classrooms, but they travel a great deal from school to school school and system to system. 191 9-5 Ain't Cot nothin’ ’ nenttMiEi ft AM ARBOR EXPRESS IlKALPBOP £ James Bond oo7g g JS saaas veasa Jb-sb-5 - 3 BO D€R€K = «§ _ ... ™«—- S g $ GOLDS IfLMIIil GORDOINI g ® ALGERIA iiAfiitt E emu uive sty Iran Frees Hostages
