We were unaware of what our school day would bring us, but we did know once we turned five or six we must participate in the daily ritual. How were we to know on the first day of school there would be stares from all those new faces. We didn’t know if these faces would become our best friends, enemies, or just acquaintances. We also did not realize we would have to attend school over 2,000 days of our lives. Nor did we understand the amount of knowledge obtainable in that time span. Not knowing was perhaps beneficial, and we pursued school with enthusiasm. Much to the delight of (he crowd, Steve Mount, cheerleading name — Candy; and John Kulmacz, cheerleading name — Jo Jo, led the cheering block for the senior girls powderpuff team. Their efforts were to no avail as the Juniors won 28-0. 1986 Hi-Life Greenville High School 111 N. Hillcrest Greenville, Mi. 48838, Vol. 69 mrm ___‘ffSMEIl _ Rocket ride tests courage Greenville’s 4-H Fair offered a wide variety of rides to choose from. This ride, known as the Rocket, allowed people to test their courage as well as their stomachs. with mixed emotions Upon entering Elementary school, the reasons for attending and what was meant by “learning” became somewhat clearer. We started working with simple calculations, reading short sentences, and printing our names on lined manila paper. We were slowly developing the basic skills that would carry us throughout the rest of our education and into the “real world”. The “real world” and its demands became more apparent during Junior High. The last years of Junior High brought with them mixed feelings about moving up to the High School. We were a little bit afraid of attending a new school. We wouldn’t be the hot shots anymore. Instead we were considered underclassmen or Sophomores. Being new and unsure of our new surroundings, the first week of school was solely dedicated to us through teasing and initation. Presenting the colors Seniors offer opinions After the Marching Band performed Assistant Principal Hodney Green, their pre-game routine, they led the asks for opinions from Seniors Julie crowd in singing the National An- Sirrine, Wendy Klepper and Kim them as the colorguard presented Hurst about the Valentines Dance, the American flag. Fill it up Getting places was much cheaper than it had been for years. By April 1st gas prices dropped to the mid 80's. No longer did fuel costs limit students driving around, a favorite local pastime. Community mourns A very sad and tragic moment in American history occurred when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 72 seconds into flight on January 28. Most flags in the Country were flown at half mast, including the High Schools. The shuttle not only contained teacher Christa McAuliffe, the first civilian in space, but six other astronauts — Ellison Onizuka, Michael Smith. Francis Scobee, Gregory Jarvis, Ronald McNair and Judith Resnik. Theme — 3 Beautiful sorceress In the play the wonderful “Wizard of Oz”, Jennifer Nobles is the beautiful sorceress of the North who grants Dorothy protection during her stay in Oz. The community production was one of several that students participated in. UTTm ©SMBS - a necessary process High School required decisions. Decisions about class selections, extra-curricular activities, friends and how to deal with annoying peer pressure. Other major decisions were forced to be recognized such as “What do I want to do with my life? What do I want to be? Where do I want to go and how in the world do I get there?” Getting there — a vague goal but a necessary and major process that is accompanied by self doubt, regular and extreme amounts of advice from peers as well as parents. It also requires endless hours of a nagging conscience telling us that we need to know and decide exactly “where” our goal is. Where for some meant counting the days, for others it meant serving the military, making college decisions and choosing a satisfying career. As the year progressed, we found those decisions easier to make, and more enjoyable. On the following pages is our story of G.H.S. students “Getting There”. Lights out During Ihe annual lights out show, the Yellow Jacket Marching Band displays a visual extravaganza while performing interesting musical pieces. Universal commercial Spanish Class provides an opportunity for Kevin Christensen to act out a foreign language television commercial. Big-time wrestling At the Christmas assembly.

Rewarded with food After a week filled with crazy hats and badges, Varsity Club members settle down for their eggs and sausage breakfast. Commons — a social hub A busy day in the commons is not unusual at GHS. These students are selling roses and Homecoming tickets for Student Council. Many High School students this year found enjoyment in community theatre plays. Steve Linderman, Senior, and Christy Jessop, Junior, play two of the major characters in the local production of “The Sound of Music.” KM 1 Getting “High on Life” was a popular pastime this year for Seniors Scoit Lage, ohn Kulmaitz, and junior Dan Burns. They performed Ihe “Life skit during (he First Annual Shecky Green Memorial Skit Night. Although Shecky Green was not dead, planners felt it appropriate to dedicate Skit Night to him, because in their opinion, his comedy has died. A socially active Student Council and senior class prompted the planning of numerous unique activities. Students found the additional events an exciting supplement. Although the annually popular events remained, this became a year for BREAKING TRADITION Si Whether it was getting together for Skit Night, or dancing all night at the Prom and indulging in some heavy gambling at Casino Night, participation in school-sponsored activities definitely soared. Due to a more active Student Council and some creative minds among the student body, school activities made this year special. Junior Mike Lutz, credits the sponsoring organizations such as the Varsity Club, for having the initiative to break tradition. Normally Valentines Day is celebrated by exchanging candy, flowers and perhaps a small kiss. But, this year Steve Mount was deeply surprised when Amy Anderson hired a singing telegram to be delivered during his A lunch. Although he might not have enjoyed it as much as the rest of the onlookers, the singing telegram was definitely unique. Although to any stranger the Commons would be considered just a hallway, for GHS students it was a “social hub”. The hustle and excitement that often filled the atmosphere were the result of such things as Sophomore and Varsity Club initiations, fund raisers and purchasing tickets to school entertainment functions. Some of the new entertainment could be credited to the all night school Lock-In, In-School Forum, and the Shecky Green Memorial Skit night. Although time had to be taken out of students’ hectic schedules to enjoy such events, most were grateful for the opportunity to relax with friends. After all, “Getting There” doesn’t always require work. A little rain during the Homecoming game didn’t slop . V Cheerleader Chris Rossman from cheering the Jackets on to victory. The Yellow jackets dominated the Alpena Wildcats and won 13-7. Student Life — 7 During Homecoming Week, the traditional Powderpuff game is celebrated between the Senior and Junior classes. This year the girls were allowed to play something new, flag football. Determined to gain yards for the Senior team, Laura Galloway charges away from Junior Dawn Ames. After the final ballots were calculated, the GHS student body chose Steve Mount and Cherie Rassmus-sen to reign over the 1985 Homecoming. Determined to win, Randy Paulsen and Casey Raymond assist Steve Schofield to carry the ball 24 yards for the decisive touchdown against highly favored Alpena Wildcats. This touchdown gave the Jackets a 13-7 edge that the defense protected for the last nine minutes of the game. 8 — Homecoming Juniors win powder puff game Skateboard races, human pyramid building contests, a Hawaiian punch chug-a-lug, truck crams and the ever famous, Alpena Wildcat toss were activities created for the “Surf’s Up” Homecoming theme lunchtime activities. On Wednesday, October 2, the Senior and Junior girls competed in the annual pow-derpuff game. This year, the 28-0 outcome was in favor of the Juniors. Although the Senior class was defeated, the cheerleaders managed to entertain and stir-up what was left of Senior class pride. Senior males Steve Mount and John Kulmacz were extremely entertaining in cheerleader outfits. To end the weeks activities, a pep assembly allowed the Senior class to regain the “most spirited” title. The activities were such things as obstacle courses, class cheering, and the tug-of-war contest. At 7:30 on October 4. football “spirit was not the only thing in the air, a steady drizzle of rain filled the stands and sidelines with damp, cold people. When the game began, the Jackets started to look “outclassed” against the Alpena Wildcats. After stopping Greenville on three plays, Alpena drove 66 yards in ten plays and scored. It was then that the Jackets began to put it together. The turning point came when the Jackets stopped Alpena on a fourth-and-one play. Greenville got its first opportunity to score when Bruce Towne recovered an Alpena fumble. It took the Jackets eight plays to cover 37 yards, and ended when Max War-riner lofted a 29 yard touchdown pass to Chris Meyers who twisted his way into the end zone. Tom Hallock’s kick was good and the Jackets tied the game with just 2:19 left in the first half. (continued on page 10) Eager to start a victorious Homecoming, the Greenville Varsity Football team charges onto Black Field with traditional pre-game entrance to the delight of the home crowd. “Winning isn’t everything” is the Junior class attitude after losing the float competition to the Seniors during halftime of the Homecoming game.

Homecoming — 9 Schofield scampers 24 yards ©rntMasecM Sm maSm In Greenville’s second half, persistence paid off when Steve Schofield rambled 24 yards for the winning touchdown with 9:05 left in the game. It was then up to the defensive interior to maintain that winning margin. And that was exactly what Tom Hallock and Todd Higgins did with nine tackles each for the game. Trevor Harkness and Bruce Towne had seven each, while Paul McDonald and Thad Jones were each credited with five stops. Homecoming magic was definitely in the air! During halftime, the rain let up enough to allow the former 1984 King and Queen, Mike Johnson and Amy Warriner, to hand over crowns to Steve Mount and Cherie Rasmussen. Senior representatives were Steve Laurent and Robin Matchett. Junior representatives were Tom Hallock and Beth VanHoose. Sophomore representatives were Bob Sloop and Amy Anderson. The winning float was designed by the Seniors and it was a miniature football field in which a shark, symbolizing Greenville, erupts from the 50 yard line swallowing up Alpena’s helpless” football players. The banner along the base of the float summarized exactly what Greenville was, “The Jaws of Victory!” Homecoming festivities concluded with King Steve Mount and Queen Cherie Ras-mussen reigning over the semi-formal dance on Saturday night. Couples danced in the Middle School cafeteria to the music of “Wave Length”. by Kim Hurst One of the attractions of the Home-coming festivities is the class competitions. Seniors captured 1st place for the float competition during halftime with their float entitled “The Jaws of VictorySenior Teresa Ant-cliff is the mighty Jacket football player. Accompanying her are three miniature Alpena players. Chosen to represent the different classes during Homecoming, are Sophomores Bob Sloop and Amy Anderson. Junior representatives are Tom Hallock and Beth VanHoose. Senior representatives are Steve Laurent and Robin Matchett. King and Queen are Steve Mount and Cherie Rasmussen. 10 — Homecoming No dance would be complete without a band, and what could be more appropriate for a dance called “Surf's Up than a band named “Wave Length”. Couples dance to popular songs at the Homecoming dance, and the Jackets have a lot to dance about after their win the night before. As one senior commented The dance was a splash”. After a long day of decorating for the Homecoming dance Senior Buffy Moore and Sophomore Terry Slocum take time to chat under the seaweed. Rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of Varsity Cheerleaders Jinny Powers and Beth VanHoose at Greenville's Homecoming game. Homecoming— 11 Greenville’s 4-H Fair every summer offers a chance for people to try their skills al the game booths, lest their endurance on the rides and offers a variety of foods to sample. “No one wants to be away from home or the holidays, was the message the choir presented at the Christmas Assembly. John McClain and Mark Wheeler act out a musical skit with the rest of the choir backing them up. Entertainment costs decrease During the 1985-86 school year getting there was a lot cheaper, but once we got there the price of entertainment varied. Gas prices dropped immensely. No longer did the prices decide the form of entertainment we chose. The cost of car problems and dif-ficulties made travel expensive. But, if students (and parents) were lucky this cost was not outrageous. In school, during the week, students got together anticipating and discussing the upcoming weekend. Ideas were dreamed up, discussed and then plans were made. More than half IptemGagmfl of the student body owned their own car or had one available to them, so there was always someone able to drive. Once the group decided on a car and driver, they figured out where they wanted to go and what they were going to do. Students claimed, “Different groups of students tended to do certain things. Those in the active group did a lot of dancing. They favored going out dancing, shopping, and to restaurants, rather than staying home and watching movies like other groups. Many of the guys just stayed home to watch movies.” (continued on page 15) 12 — Entertainment Sick of school! Mr. Seaver, otherwise known as Dasher during the Christmas Festivities, explains to his Geometry class that even teachers can get sick of school. uOh my gosh, who is that?”, asked senior Jennifer Nobles when she first noticed the scuba gear attired mannequin whose presence graced the Homecoming Dance. Cheers and jeers greeted the acts that performed during the First Annual Shecky Green Memorial Skit Night. Among them were the Silver Platters, the Hate Snots, and Kevin Christensen’s impersonation of Pee Wee Herman. Entertainment — 13 Rudolph may be famous for his red nose, but Dormer (Mr. Ron Carlton), e demonstrates his golden voice as Santa (Mr. Thomas Matchett) has him sing for an assembly crowd. A life-long dream of becoming one of Santa’s reindeer is fulfilled at the Christmas Assembly for Mr. Rodney Green, Assistant Principal. uOnly the young could do that! , commented a parent in the bleachers as the JV cheerleaders performed a physically demanding stunt. The strong stomachs of Julie Bucholtz and Amy Anderson support two squad members.

GR lures students DkSJxRftSff (3®S38g gpgwMl© agScaMlaM® 8mm People didn’t always go out in groups. There were many who went out in couples. This past year one of the newest and foremost popular forms of entertainment was renting movies to watch on a new video cassette recorder. This was a fairly inexpensive form of excitement and one that parents tended to favor because they knew exactly where their children were. Besides watching movies at home one could head to Grand Rapids, to the movie theaters, shopping malls, and maybe a restaurant. Some of the top movies were “Color Purple”, “Out of Africa”, and “Youngblood”. There were many varieties of restaurants available and different shops open. Usually a party could be found somewhere. There were always those who headed out to cruise town. Many people went to Top of the Rock, a non-alcohol serving night club for teens, to go dancing every Friday and Saturday night. School sponsored entertainment was another available means of excitement. There were three lock-ins, sporting events and banquets, the First Annual Shecky Green Memorial Skit Night, and dances, including Sadie Hawkins, Homecoming, Morp, Prom and then Casino night. Students who relied on their imagination could come up with many fun things to do. When you’re with friends anything could end up being fun. Entertainment — 15 Aerobic dancing was a two hour class instructed by Miss Paula Adams. Girls learned basic jazz steps while at the same time kept physically fit. UA much needed break from regular classes” is how TWca Cook described the In-School Forum. Here Mr. Nobles and Mr. Sharrow display some of their sailing abilities. This year Student Council created an In-School forum which would allow the students to partake in classes other than the usual. Some of the classes offered were such things as massaging, cross country skiing, sailing and aviation. Bret Wicker-ham per orms a Granby on Mike Schmiedicke, while displaying to the rest of the class that big time wrestling on TV is actually fake. 16 In-School Forum a big hit On February 6, 1986 most students were excited not only because it was a half day of school, but also this day would tend not to be a “normal” day at GHS since it was In-School Forum. Student Council first began discussing the idea of In-School Forum during September at the Project Outreach and after assign- ing Mike Schmiedicke as Chairperson, it was finally completed five months later. In-School Forum was designed in order to allow students to enjoy a half day of school by offering unusual classes thus creating an interesting change. During the month of January students received a pamphlet containing information about the types of classes offered. After reading through the class descriptions students were asked to pick six classes. Some of the favorite classes chosen were such things as Massage, Wrestling, Aerobic Dancing, Philosophy, and Sailing. On the day of In-School Forum students came prepared to attend four forty minute classes in which in- structors explained to their pupils through demonstrations, actual participation and discussion groups about their subjects. By the end of the morning, students left the High School feeling enthused and excited, while Mike Schmiedike and Mr. Green felt satisfied that they had created a genuine “masterpiece.” Leg stretches were one of the many exercises performed in the In-School Forum Aerobics class. In-School Forum — 17 Teens coped with the realities of auto costs including maintenance. The Auto Shop helped many keep those cars running. Half the fun is getting there ff fl n® tsXBe Riding the bus may not have been the most popular way of getting there, but it was the most utilized. It is estimated that over 50% of the high school students rode buses to and from school this year. There are some distinct advantages to riding a bus. For one thing, it is inexpensive. Another is that if you’re tardy because the bus was late, you are excused. There are also some annoyances associated with riding the bus. The biggest annoyances is waiting for the bus in cold, wet weather. Another is that buses are often crowded and it is hard for anyone to sit comfortably. A far more popular way of getting there this year was by car. Students who felt the hassles of riding a bus outweighed the advantages, usually found a way to get to school in a car. This meant driving your own, driving your parents, or riding with a friend. Having your own car or driving someone elses car had many benefits attached. Among them was the ability to leave for school whenever you chose. Taking friends “out for lunch” was another. One of the largest drawbacks to driving was the expense. The expense was lessened a little when the price of gas dropped in the fall. For the more energetic students or for those that lived close to school, the best methods of getting there were walking or riding a bike. A few others rode mopeds. There were also a few that skateboarded. One girl even rode her horse. Although they chose several different methods, the students of GHS managed to reach the common goal of “getting there.” 38 — Transportation Relaxing, socializing, or just “kicking back were all ways to bide time while riding the bus home. Getting to school early affords one an opportunity to grab the prime parking lot spaces to show off a four wheel drive truck. Transportation — 19 One of GHS’ many traditions is a tug-of-war between the classes during the Homecoming pep assembly. Steve Scofield’s strength helps his fellow junior classmates. “But we’ve always done it. . Tradition has the tendency to be criticized, but at GHS some of it is expected! Before entering the High School, Sophomores are forewarned that they are expected to participate in a five day initiation period during the first week of school. They realize it’s not worthwhile arguing about it because it is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation of upperclassmen. “Initiation puts Sophomores in their place. It helps to teach them a lesson about earning respect from their elders,” said Junior Leigh Glazer. Just as much as initiation is considered a traditional event, the commons is also a symbolic hallway that excludes Sophomores from entering. “I can understand why the commons is so special. When I’m a Junior I don’t want little Sophomores in my hallway dur- ing lunch,” stated Sophomore Wendy Wheeler. The Juniors’ expectations and demands differ slightly from the Sophomores and they are forced to take the traditional U.S. History classes, spring Iowa Tests and ACT SAT exams. Although these tests are unpleasant, the reward of attending their first Prom or sitting in the commons makes up for filling in ovals with pencil lead. But Seniors are the most traditional, stereotyped group in High School. They have their Senior pictures taken in the summer, they expect to win the spirit jug at Homecoming, they attend numerous Senior meetings and most of all they spend a lot of time seriously thinking and making decisions about the future. Why? Because we've always done it this way! 20 — Tradition Those fearful nominating speeches for Student Council are annual necessities for running for an elected office. Steve Drake, running for Student Council Treasurer, addresses the Student body. The Senior girl’s tea is a longstanding tradition at GHS. Senior Jennifer Nobles shares punch and cookies with her mother. All aboard! Typical Homecoming activities include class competition such as this truck cram. The Seniors couldn’t pack enough bodies in and finish second. Tradition — 21 Legislature acclaims project (sfl®S@g Gib® g®® The Greenville High School Council on Aging was held on April 11, 1986. The program was designed to help bridge the gap between teenagers and Senior Citizens. It has been held annually since 1975 and after being a success, the activity has continued with an increasing interest on the part of all who have participated. Since the first conference over 1,700 people have taken part in this event. The day of the Senior Youth Forum, the Senior Citizens and students met at the United Methodist Church to be divided into discussion groups. The discussion groups were arranged into groups of 10 members each, and each group had a discussion leader who promoted a list of topics to be debated among the group.

Following the concert, a representative of Donald Van Singel delivered a special Tribute Award honoring the Greenville High School Student Council for their hard work and dedication to John Kulmatz spent most of the day with this Senior Citizen because they were partners for the discussion groups and lunch on Council on Aging. After lunch, group leaders have a tour of the High School to the Senior Citizens. Steve Mount and Steve Laurent point out the Senior Junior Commons.

Beth VanHoose, Co-Chairperson of Council on Aging, helps divide Senior Citizens into discussion groups. Council on Aging — 23 Many students take Typing in preparation for a career. Senior Chris Erisen took it for practice while in college. Practice in throwing the discus helped Junior Monica Deiters earn the award of Most Improved player on the girls Track team.

Here they prepare for their Spring Concert. The Orchestra goes to many group and individual competitions where the majority receive irsl division ratings. They are preparing for the Solo Ensemble estival. Practice pays off Pride at GHS is instilled by the many hours of practicing, rehearsing or studying spent by the students. Evidence of their dedication is seen in all that they do, from a Math test to the State Finals. Athletics are an area where the benefits seem to be most obvious. The Boys Varsity Basketball team radices a minimum of 225 ours a season, starting with the last day of school. Most of the team continues on through the summer. Practice paid off for the Girls Golf and Track teams this year with both earning their way to the State Finals. Many hours of running, biking and working out, led Senior Jill Bigelow to a first place finish in the 200 meter dash at the State Class B Finals. Sports have always been an area of “practice and win” but they are not alone. The Concert Band discovered that the price of rehearsal is worth it when they received straight l’s at the State Festival in Lansing. Nearly all of the 80 members spent many hours rehearsing in class, at home and taking private lessons. Most will agree now, that it was time well spent. Practice also pays off in studying. This can be seen in the many students whose names appear each semester on the Honor Roll. This dedication to study leads to habits that extend into the student’s work environment, social activities and, for some, future college experiences. The students at GHS, through their many hours of practice, whether it be sports, academics, or extracurricular activities, contribute to a feeling of pride in a job well done. It is this almost invisible hours of effort that lead us to the perfection sought. Practice — 25 Handing out souvenirs, Juniors Holly Hicks and Robin Fountain enjoy the honor of greeting couples and gathering ballots for prom King and Queen. Prom King and Queen, Senior Scott Lage and Robin Matchett enlightened the night when they were crowned. One of the couples' favorite dances is the slow dance where they have time to relax and capture memories. 26 — Prom Festive evening celebrated in various ways G® ©Tamil lMffl5®®om Although tradition is present at the Junior-Senior Prom, this year the spring formal was altered. The Prom was held at JR’s Roller Castle instead of the Middle School Cafeteria. “The theme Masquerade Ball was much more affective at JR’s than it would have been in a stale smelling cafeteria,” stated Robin Matchett. Some couples went all out for Prom, such as Tim Christenson and Shawn Smith. They hired a professional photographer, rented a limousine for eight and a half hours, and ate dinner at Cygnus, a very fancy restaurant featured on top of the Grand Plaza Hotel. “I enjoy being different and since this is my last Prom, something inside me told me to go all out!” said Tim Christensen. But, money doesn’t always make the night special. Senior Vicki Meyer and Junior John Dietzel fixed a quiet dinner at Vicki’s house rather than eating at a restaurant. “Although the majority of my friends went out for dinner, 1 thought it would be more enjoyable to eat in the privacy of my home.” Indeed Prom was a spe- cial moment. Four Sophomores graciously dressed in Butler and Maid uniforms and offered satin masks for souvenirs, strawberry punch, and small appetizers. White pillars, a canvas painted drama mask, an enormous amount of black, white and silver helium balloons floated among the colored lights, while upbeat music filled the dance floor. With all of these special decorations, a romantic atmosphere had transformed a rollerskating rink into a breathtaking Ballroom. All the fun didn’t end after the Prom, as a group of Parents sponsored a Casino Night that was held from one until three. As couples entered the Community Center, each person was handed 50,000 in paper money and was invited to gamble at the blackjack tables, craps tables, poker games, and roulette wheels. After gambling for an hour, the couples were awarded a number of tickets for the percentage of money they had won. Such things as stereos, pop coolers and beach blankets were raffled off. What could be more appropriate than dancing in a castle on prom night? Disc ockey “Pep Spence Gie-sen had many couples twirling around the floor. Couples sip punch while taking a break from dancing and socializing with each other.

Entering the crowded gym during Swingout are seniors Trisha Sharlow and Michael Reidt. Emotion hit the seniors immensely after the Swingout recessional. Seniors and their parents and friends met in the lawn in front of the school for hugs, handshakes and pictures. Senior Angi Faiks and Rhonda Roy were among the hundreds gathered. Honors Week — 29 Julie Lane accepts her diploma from Board of Education member Ralph Loeschner during Commencement. Stephen Linderman sang a solo “Others May Come” during Commencement. It was written by former Greenville Teacher Mary Fi-sih. Robin Matchett, Senior Class President, and Scott Lage GHS Board of Education representative, led the processional march during Commencement. 30 — Commencement Smiles and sighs of relief spread across most Seniors faces, as Ihey switched their lassies from the left to the right side declaring them official graduates. U.S. Congressman Guy Vander agt read an inspirational address during Commencement and he will also give GHS the flag that flies over the dome of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Almost 200 graduate On June 8 the 196 member Greenville High School class of 1986 celebrated the school’s 113th Commencement. The Senior class, whose motto “Within our reach lies everything we ever dreamed of being,” received an address from U.S. Congressman Guy Vanderjagt. During the address he made an announcement to the graduates that the flag flying over the dome of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on that Sunday will be folded, boxed and sent to Greenville for display in the class’ name. Some advice he offered the class were such things as financial or material success may not be the dream truly worth chasing. The happiness you have will not be determined by what you acquire, but by what you give away and the best thing you can give away is yourself,” he said. After Vanderjagt’s address, Principal Thomas Matchett presented the Senior class, while the Board of Education members handed out the diplomas. Stephen Linderman kept alive a tradition with a solo performance of “Other’s May Come,” which was written by a former Educator Mary Fish. The former Senior class was then instructed to switch their tassles from the left to the right side, symbolizing to families and friends Commencement had been completed. The Graduates then marched proud and full of smiles out of the Gymnasium, knowing they would never return to High School as Seniors. Commencement — 31 After passing a Lowell runner, Junior.

Athletic teams faced not only tough competition because of not playing in a league, hi t this year were overly plagued with illnesses and a rash of injuries; often to key players. Coaches and athletes competed with determination and accomplished much INJURIES “Getting There” in GHS sports this year was somewhat more difficult than usual. With illness and numerous injuries causing athletes to miss practices and games, it was often difficult to participate knowing that an average of five athletes were not able to function. Amee Disser, a Varsity Track member, could relate to sports injuries: “Never having shin splints before, I didn't realize how painful it is to run with sore legs. I wanted to improve my mile and two mile times but it was very frustrating.” Strategy plays Varsity Football Coach Paul Engel goes over against Alpena, as unior Brian Hickey, Seniors Brian Lilly, Bruce Tovvne and unior Craig ones relax during halftime. Bryon Swindell, a Varsity Basketball player, suffered from mono which left him unable to finish the last three games of his Senior career. “My whole Senior year I had eagerly looked forward to playing Basketball and when I ended up getting sick near the end of the season, it was really depressing having to lay in bed listening to the game on the radio while my team played without me.” Overall the Yellow Jacket sports seasons weren't as successful as former years with the exception of Girl’s Cross Country, Girls’ Golf, Girl's Track, and the Boy’s Basketball team which achieved a winning percentage of games. Defense against Fremont resulted in different formations. Lineman await the snap of the bull to charge. Sports — 33 Varsity Football Front Row: Tom Hallock, Randy Paulsen. Brad Vinton.

Greenville alternated wins and losses for the first eight games of its 4-5 season. “Our team was like a roller coaster, up one game and down the next” commented Junior Halfback Steve Schofield. One of the most memorable games of the season was the homecoming game against Alpena. The Jackets were picked to lose by 10 points, but rallied to break a tie in the fourth quarter going on to win the game 13-7. One of the things that made this season different was a change in offense. The ball was thrown more this season. This surprised a few of the opposing teams. It also weakened the defense a little. Junior Fullback Tom Hal-lock led the team in rushing with 698 yards averaging 5.1 yards per carry for 5 touchdowns. Steve Schofield followed close behind with 526 yards total, averaging 4.8 yards per carry for 4 touchdowns. Junior Quarterback Max Warriner led the team in passing with 598 yards for 6 touchdowns. Chris Myer led in receiving with 20 receptions and 4 touchdowns. Tom Hallock led the team in tackles with 72 overall. Juniors Todd Higins, Trevor Harkness, Craig Jones, Paul MacDonald, and Senior Bruce Towne each had over 30 tackles for the season. This season’s captains were Senior Guard Thad Jones, Senior Guard Bruce Towne, and Junior Tom Hallock. Junior Center Brett Wickerham was named Most Improved player. Bruce Towne received the Dedication Award and Tom Hallock was named Most Valuable player for the season. Hallock was named to the All-State Honorable Mention. Because Greenville is a non-conference non-league team, recognition was more difficult to get. “A lot of players were deserving, but there’s nothing you can do when you’re not in a league” stated Coach Paul Engle. In (he end zone, Chris Meyers leaps for one of his four touchdown receptions for the season. His Alpena defenders fruitlessly attempt to prevent the catch.

Say YO! YO HO! . . . seemed to echo as the varsity cheerleaders led the crowds with their enthusiastic style. Coach Nancy Dixon and the eight junior and senior girls accompanied the football and basketball players to all of the games including a three and a half hour bus ride to Traverse City. As usual they made the best of those long rides by telling jokes, eating at the nearest McDonalds or singing with the radio. There were rare a dull moment among those girls! Their season not only consisted of cheering at the games, but also planning PEP assemblies and taking part in competitions held at different high schools and colleges throughout Michigan. The basketball cheerleaders attended the Hope college competition and clinic along with 50 other squads. They gave one of their better performances of the year, but did not receive a trophy. However they did finish among the top 15 squads, as did the football cheerleaders at the Allegan County Fair this summer. They performed an original choreographed dance and cheer. As in any sport there are often a few athletes that stood out above the rest, this Crowd excitement was created by the cheerleaders during the first afternoon assembly.

Varsity Cheerleaders — 39 Seaons a bit disappointing Greenville's golf team done in at hosted Invitational and disqualified; girl's tennis team battered by rain and weather cancellations. One of the highlights of the golf season was when Mike Wells broke the school record for away matches with an individual score of 33 during a nine-hole match at Portland Country Club. The biggest disappointment of the season was the Greenville Invitational Regional where the team got disqualified because of a “misunderstanding of the rules.” Gino Ruiz who lowered his average six strokes was voted most improved. Senior Mike Wells received Most Valuable Player and Most Dedicated went to Matt Vaughn. Mr. Sharrow’s overall opinion of the season was “with the talent that we had, it was a little disappointing.” The scores started out good but rose as the season went on. They ended up the season with an overall record of 9-5. They placed 8th out of 15 at regionals on the North Kent Golf Course. “Unique,” is the word Coach Ginny Johnson used to sum up her girls tennis team’s season. It was unique because the team chosen Varsity players only played together in one match all season. Leading the team to a 5-3 dual record was the first singles player, and the only graduating senior, Jean Turner. She also won the Most Valuable Player Award. The Most Dedicated Award went to Mary Jo Brunner, fourth singles player. KbSWSR, The highlight of the season was scoring 14 points for a second place finish at the Sparta Doubles Invitational.

After losing Senior Colleen Doherty in 1985, the Girls Cross Country team was concerned about being unable to keep up their “all state” title. But, a new member Junior Toni Enbody, filled Colleen’s shoes. Toni moved into second place as she became the second best GHS scorer in a single season. The Girl’s overall success was a result of good work and dedication to a cause,” stated Coach Taylor. This year seven of the top girls from the Cross Country team were qualified to run at the State Competition.

Boy’s GiiTs JV Basketball — 47 Injury Ridden The competition was tougher than usual this year — the teams they beat were good, and the ones they lost to were even better. It was a strange year for the Varsity Basketball team. They struggled throughout the season praying that each game would not bring a new injury. Every player except Andy Switzer (Most Improved) was either sick or injured during the season. Captain, Most Valuable and Most Dedicated player, Steve Mount said, “Every game there was a new starting lineup because someone was always injured. This, of course, allowed for some variety and players not used to starting got a chance to prove themselves. Even with all the unexpected injuries the Jackets managed to maintain a 7-14 record. Because Greenville was no longer in a league, the competition was tougher than usual. The teams they beat were good and the ones they lost to were even better, Determined to steal the bail, Duane Sowers sprints down the court leaving the crowd a blur. so the team ended the season feeling satisfied. Half the teams that Greenville lost to had a season record of 17-3 or better. Probably, their most exciting game was when they beat Ionia who was ranked in the state. It was also their highest scoring game with 86 points. Winning that game gave the players some extra confidence to finish the season. A few games later, the season took a turn for the worse. Described as “very embarrassing,” the Jackets found it difficult to score against Alma, and in fact didn’t in the first quarter. Incredibly they bounced back and lost only 52-66. The season continued to go downhill from there but the Jackets confidence never faded. They lost the last few games but they knew their competition was tough. Sophomore, Jeff Mount, didn’t think that the final record was a reflection of their abilities. “Playing a lot of tough teams really hurt our record, but we had a good season.” Trying not to lose control of the ball.: Tom Shrader attempts to scoop the | ball to awaiting teammate Max War-riner. 48 — Varsity Basketball (ireenville Opponent Score 55 Lakeview 66 66 Byron Center 65 45 Middleville 48 57 Lowell 55 72 Spring Lake 69 69 Balding 35 56 Big Rapids 72 46 Traverse City 65 76 Chippewa Hills 67 62 Fremont 76 61 Moriey Stanwood Ot 60 71 Lakewood 72 86 Ionia 70 67 Central Montcalm 72 59 Reed City 64 52 Alma 66 SO Lakeview 59 57 Tkavers City 66 43 Alma 77 59 Muskegon Orchard View 63 51 Portland 71 Season Record 7-14 In order to score.

If you want to get to the top you have to start at the bottom, as the JV Basketball Cheerleaders discovered. With the encouragement and advisement of their coach, Nancy Dixon, they were able to compete at Hope College in Holland, MI. The Clinic involved quick learning and remembrance. In the morning the squad was taught a dance routine, worked on double stunts, pyramids and were taught a new cheer. Then, they were given approximately one hour to practice the new cheer and be prepared to perform it along with their “home cheer” in the afternoon competition. They competed against 50 Grand Rapids area squads and “did a fine job representing GHS,” according to Miss Dixon. They worked hard throughout the season.

The Greenville Wrestling team finished the 1986 season with 17-15 record. The teams biggest thrill for this season, according to Coach Duane Chambers, was when Greenville took first in the Ottawa Hills Dual Tournament. Their worst moment was losing 65-2 in their match against Lowell. When asked what factors attributed to this season’s record, Mr. Chambers replied, “Hard work.” Andy Saman was named this season’s most valuable player and deservedly so. Andy set a new school record for the most team points with a total of 257. He tied the school record previously set by Harry King in Learning and perfecting lake-downs requires hours of praclice.

The top two dual match records for the season were also held by Andy Saman and Tom Hallock with 31-1 and 27-3 respectively. Bill Gu-lembo had the most escapes for the season. Other modern school rec- ords that were broken this year were: Brett Wickerham for most takedowns with 44 and Dave Hurst for most varsity wins by a freshman with 22 wins.

As many people know, receiving the ball is a vital part of a Volleyball game. This year the girls demonstrated excellent efficiency with this. The Jackets used good serving and good blocking as the nucleus for their wins, along with strong team play and support for each other. Coach Bill Moore commented, “We were in a tough competition, FHC, the 2 class B. We lost some games we shouldn’t have but, we will be able to come back and beat them next year. We have a strong group of juniors with lots of potential who will be returning.” JV coach Teri Hunter and Varsity coach Bill Moore led the Varsity to a score of 11-30 overall. When time came to hand out awards MVP was given to Kendra Hopkins; Most Dedicated went to Leigh Glazer; Most Improved — Deb Armock; the team captain was Julie Lane; and Julie Lane, Teresa Lod-ing and Sue Hamilton received the Senior Plaques. The JV and Varsity team players seemed to enjoy this season. The players had a closely knit group and they picked each other up nicely. There was a good feeling within the group which enabled them to play well. Throughout the year Bill Moore has stated, “The Varsity got some tremendous spark from the bench. We played with lots of enthusiasm. Our errors came at critical points but, we ran the offense and played good defense. We’re a young ball club and we’re not ready to quit.” Greenville Opponent Score 0 Lakewood 2 0 Allegan 2 0 Way land 2 2 Caledonia 0 1 Northvtew 2 1 Cedar Springs 2 1 Muskegon 1 0 Forest Hill 2 0 East Lansing 2 0 Brvon Center 2 2 Carson City 0 2 Lowell 1 1 Saranac 2 1 Fremont 2 1 Ionia 2 2 Grant 0 0 St. Louis 2 0 Ravanna 2 0 Clare 2 0 TH-County 2 0 Big Rapids 2 0 Balding 2 2 Central Montcalm 0 2 Btyon Center 0 2 Ionia 0 2 Th -County 0 1 Big Rapids 0 2 Portland 0 2 Morley-Stan wood 0 2 Ithaca 1 0 Comstock Park 2 0 Lakeview 2 1 Saranac 2 0 Lakewood 2 0 Lakewood 2 1 Okemos 1 0 Potterville 2 1 Grand Ledge 1 1 Fremont 1 1 Big Rapids 1 0 Forest Hills 2 0 Forest Hills 2 0 Forest Hills 2 Season Record: 11-30 With a look of anticipation, Teresa Loding waits patiently for her turn to hit the ball.

Warren Westbrook had a style all his own this year that helped him do very well. Individual performances count Boys team qualifies for State in four events; Steve and Jeff Mount, relay team perform admirably. Mounts lead team in many categories of performance. The 1986 Boy’s TYack team qualified for the State Meet in four events: the 800 meter relay, 1600 meter relay, 300 All runners, like Jeff Makowski, practiced many hours building up stamina and speed. meter low hurdles, and 400 meter. The season was an outstanding show in personal achievement led by Steve and Jeff Mount. Jeff Mount set a new school record in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet Vh inches. The 1600 meter relay team set a new school record of 3:28.5. Runners on that relay team were Jeff Makowski, Steve Garner, Steve Mount and Yong Chong. Team Captain Steve Mount was voted Outstanding Participant and awarded the Dedication award. He received the Gold Shoe Award with a total point production of 164y2. Mount also set a new school record in the 300 meter low hurdles at the Meet of Champions with a time of 38.3 seconds. A total of 31 boys scored points in the 1986 Track season. Greenville’s highest point production came on April 17, when the boys piled up 82 points to losing Hasting’s 55 points. In the tightest match of the year, Greenville lost out to Lakewood by a 67 to 70 score. In the discus throw, Eric Holbrook had a season high of 135-7 and he threw the shot at 38-6V2 for a season best. Marty Taylor hit 10-0 in the pole vault for a season best.

Nine to State meet Senior Jill Bigelow led a group of nine girls to the State meet; set school record in 100 meter dash and finished first in State in the 200 meter dash. This year’s girls’ track team was very successful, with 7 wins and 2 seconds, as well as a fifth at a 14-team meet. At State this year, 9 of Greenville’s girls participated. They were: Heather Bernson, Jill Bigelow, Moni- ca Deiters, Kathleen Doherty, Toni Enbody, Amy Laurent, Kerry Nielson, Jennifer Powers, and Cindy Skinner. 1986 was a successful year for senior Jill Bigelow. Named most valuable, she became the state champion in the 200 meter dash and set a school record in the 100 meter dash at 12.2 seconds. At the regionals this year, the competition was postponed after starting because of a tornado watch, and it was drizzling on the day they finished the meet. Despite the poor weather, the girls pulled through and won their 2nd regional crown. Some of the tracks the girls ran on this year were particularly interesting. One of these was when the team beat Lakewood on their non-metric, cinder track. At Big Rapids, our girls beat the home team on their brand new track. The team’s wins were against Hastings, Tri County, Lakewood, Big Rapids, and a tie with Chippewa Hills against Fremont. Both of the girls’ second place wins this year were behind the strong GR Christian team. Most valuable was Jill Bigelow, who was also most dedicated. Most improved was Monica Deiters. The cocaptains were Jill Bigelow and Aimee Disser. fill Bigelow worked hard this year and helped partners Jackie Creasap, Rachelle Riedel and Jennifer Powers pin down a best time of 4:9.29 in the 1600 relay. Girls Track — 59 Only four seniors Despite a younger than usual team, the varsity base-ballers produced a winning 14-10 season record and were not short on numerous individual accomplishments. With only four seniors on this years Varsity Baseball team, they still finished the season with a strong 14-10 record. Senior, Pat Bernard was chosen Team Captain and Most Outstanding Participant. Pat led the team in hits, runs batted in, and most times at bats. Junior, Tom Hallock, was voted Most Dedicated, he led the team in stolen bases, runs scored, and homeruns. Dan Burns and Brad Vinton also contributed to the teams success. Burns was the batting champion with a .389 average. Vinton was the team’s leading pitcher with a 4-0 record and a very low 1.90 earned run average. Next year’s team should be experienced and strong, with 13 returning players off this years team. The Larry Tiffany Dedication Award went to Tom Hal- Walching intensely, Trevor Hark-ness wails for the umpire lo call an out. lock. Pat Bernard was named the Honorary Captain and awarded the Outstanding Participant honor. Other leaders included Brad Vinton with three home runs and a batting average of .388, only one point lower than Burns, the leader. Bernard led the team in hits with 27, runs batted in with 24, and was second in home runs with 5 while posting a .380 batting average, only the third team member with a higher than .300 average. Bernard and Hallock led the pitching staff in starts and in innings pitched, with 12 starts each and over 45 innings for both. David Gowans, brought up from the Jayvee squad, pitched 33 innings and in eight games. Overall the team had a .293 batting average. 60 — Varsity Baseball It’s between innings and the varsity baseball team heads for the dug-out.

The girls still won by 117 strokes. With five returning Seniors, the girls golf team finished with a more than respectable record of 13-2. The team average of 199.0 strokes was good enough to secure a 4th place finish at the Kenowa Hills Invitational and 7th place in the Mt. Pleasant Invitational. In regional action, Greenville hosted 18 teams at North Kent Golf Course in nearby Rockford, and placed 2nd behind highly regarded Mt. Pleasant. This qualified the girls for State at which they placed 12th out of 21 schools and 3rd in Class B. Senior Tina Plank shot a season low 43 on 9 holes while Jo Peterson shot a 96 at the Kenowa Hills Invitational, tying her for 8th place and a medal.

By mid-semester, senioritis and spring fever had captured the attention of many students. Although it would have been easier to procrastinate with homework, most chose to hang in there and CONTINUE STUDYING Getting through the school year to some students involved maintaining a successful grade point average, to others it simply meant receiving a passing grade. Whether or not students decided to tackle some of the more advanced classes such as Composition, Sociology, Senior Math, or Physics was strictly up to amount of time students were willing to put into their homework and tests. “I do better in classes when the teacher is motivating, not constantly full of One of the projects Psychology class spenl lime researching, was the study of motor and sensory skills developed during the in font and toddler stages. Mike Wells secretly enjoyed this project because he was able toexperience atherhood a little early without having to change diapers. lectures and advice,” proclaimed Julie Sirrine. Some students purposely arranged their schedules so that by second semester their classes were a bit easi-er with less amount of homework. While others chose to take demanding honor classes. “Even though some of my classes were more difficult than I anticipated, at least I know they will help me later in college,” said Jinny Nobles. For most students “Getting There” meant using a lot of mental effort, at the very least it involved spending well over a 1,000 hours taking notes, completing homework and studying for tests. By Mid February most Seniors are experiencing a slight case of Senioritis. Such things as lack of interest or little motivation are familiar symptoms to jed Welder. Academics Organizations — 69 The always enthusiastic Mr. Hannah leads his sixth hour English 10 class in an enjoyable discussion. Mr. Charles Samelot, a guest speaker for Creative Writing Class, has published three books of poetry. He has written poems for such famous people as Queen Elizabeth, the Governor of Hawaii and Nancy Reagan. Students were sometimes embarrassed but usually interested as Mrs. Gress reads a few of her students poems to her Creative Writing class. Students in Mr. Larsen’s Journalism class are encouraged to write headlines and design layouts to include pictures, captions and copy. 70 — English Course variety provides for the PLAYFUL as well as the strictly academic The English Department at GHS provided what was necessary to attain knowledge in almost every area of English. The wide variety of courses covered all aspects of the English language; from the mechanics of structure, to the origin and background which our language and writing forms originated. Students learned the mechanics of writing through such classes as Composition, Forms of Writing and Creative Writing. “In Forms, Mrs. Gress taught the basics of writing. In Comp she went on to show how our writings show our unique style and voice. We learned how to better express ourselves in our literature,” stated Su-zette Fluger. Covering the more playful aspect of English, Creative Writing was developed so that students would have the chance to learn how to express themselves through the use of poetry, short stories, and plays. The general history of English was thoroughly covered with such classes as English Literature, American Literature and Contemporary American Literature. These classes discussed the origins of some of the more important breakthroughs which brought about the writing techniques and styles we use today. “I liked English Lit because I could interpret things my own way rather than be forced to listen to someone else’s opinion,” said Wendy Klepper. There also are many classes which offered quite a selection in the area of the co-munications. Journalism, Mass Media and Yearbook offered students a hands-on learning experience in many areas of growing media. With a variety of English classes to choose from, the academic requirement of at least three credits towards English can be easily attained at GHS.

Acting I and II are small but very popular portions of the performing arts classes. In Acting students learned how to express the feelings of the characters they portrayed. Another portion of performing arts is Speech. In place in Extemporaneous Speaking. Tanya Matchett and Jody Hankis together took first in Duo Interpretation. Julie Melton also came home a winner with a third in Serious Interpretation. Mr. Pawlowski, who has taught in performing arts at Greenville High School for 17 years, also coached the Debate Team this year. In Debate the students learned how to work together to express their opinions effectively and creatively. In Acting, students immediately were assigned to act out an emotional reaction to a tragedy, in an attempt to express a realistic portrayal of grief. Other emotions, expressions, and studying of the characters in various circumstances had to be worked on as well to “play the part.” Small group scenes from popular plays were done as well as class activities. The semester course ended with three groups performing the play “Whisper to Me” by Paul Zindel. “It was a fun class, according to Junior Norma Thornburg, “but it was hard because Mr. Pawlowski, as director, expected us to be professional.” “At first I was very nervous, but after a few speeches, I wasn’t as nervous. Floyd Holmden III Debate Team: Front Row: Greg Merren, Lisa MacDonald, Tim Tobey. Row 2: Belinda Swartz, Jolana Manino, Tracy Betteridge. Row 3: Mark Wheeler. Jed Welder, Mr. Pawlowski. Row 4: Scott Fraser, Roy Ferguson. Back Row: Todd Snider, John Vanamen. Speech I students learned how to organize their thoughts then give their speech in front of a group of people. The students soon become comfortable with speaking in front of a group. In Speech II students used the skills they learned in Speech I and expanded upon them. They also were exposed to the principles of Forensics and Debate. Many of Mr. Pawlowski’s students went to the District Forensics competition at Holton High School. Jed Welder came home with first Expressions are very important in Acting class. Lisa Higgenson shows expression very dramatically. Patented dog washing techniques are explained by Mark Melton to his classmates, in the process of earning an A on his Explanation Speech. 72 — Performing Arts Time is very important in Radio Broadcasting competition of Forensics, so Scott Fraser vigorously works to complete his speech. When doing an Explanation Speech one has to act out their speech without using props. Todd Bittner explains how to deal cards to his imaginary card partners. Anyone who has ever talked to Jed Welder knows he loves expressing his opinions. Forensics gives him the opportunity to do this, as he gives his Extemporaneous Speech. Performing Arts — 73 Classes prepare students for FAST PACED competitions in life After tossing their egg into the air, Seniors Michelle Mosher and Angie Faiks unwrap the cotton to see if it was cracked. Chemistry isn’t all hard work, as Matt Vaughn, Chris Meyers and Mark Nozicka show, with their lab stool sculpture. In this high-tech world we live in today, students must be prepared to handle the fast-paced competitions in life. The Science Department at Greenville High very adequately prepares students for this quickly changing world. There are many offerings in the Science Department. One of which is Physical Science. Physical Science is a very practical course, it teaches students how astronomy, chemistry, electricity and ecology directly affect lives. Along the same lines as Physical Science was Physics and Advanced Physics where students learned about the latest advancements in electronics, astronomy and lasers. Students also learned of alternate energy sources such as nuclear and solar. What would Physics be without the traditional slinky experiment and the trip to the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Another tradition upheld this year was the ever popular egg-throw. In this experiment students had to design a self-contained egg that would rise 50 feet into the air then fall to the ground and not break the egg. “I normally try to play the experiment during bad weather so it complicates things a bit,” explained Mr. Walthorn. Advanced Physics was also offered to students this year. Mr. Walthorn taught only a few students who were planning to go into a specific area of science or math. This class “elaborated on Physics and deeply probed into magnetism, heat, light atomic and nuclear physics,” according to Mr. Walthorn. The students also used sophisticated chemicals with which they made nylon, soap and plastics. Chemistry instructor, Mr. DeKuiper, not only taught students about chemicals and solutions, but also how to study them. The last class offered in the Science Department was Advanced Chemistry. In this class students expanded on their Chemistry background and some study was done in Organic Chemistry. “Mr. Walthorn makes Physical Science an unusual and fun class.” Lisa Dever i 74 — Science Department Taking tests seemed easier in chemistry this year. Mr. DeKuiper allowed students to use calculators and their notes. The slinky experiment in Physics class is one of the highlights of the year. Seniors Tim Rood and Angi Faiks listen to the different sounds it creates.

Science Department — 75 Biology students eat SQUID and dissect cats “There’s more than one uiay to skin a cat.” Tammy Silowsky “There’s more than one way to skin a cat and we learned them all,” laughed Junior Tammy Silowsky. Advanced Biology, also taught by Mr. DeKuiper, is a college prep class that follows Biology. This comment was in reference to Advanced Biology class starting another tradition in the Sciences this year: the dissection of a cat. Though many who took the class were apprehensive in the beginning, most seemed to relax after the first few incisions on the carcass. The Science Department, chaired by Physics teacher, Mr. Richard Walthorn, held many different experiments throughout the year. In Biology, worms, frogs, crayfish, and even squid were dissected. Repeating last year’s tradition, the squid, after being dissected, were eaten by all who dared. Mr. Bob Gowens, a veteran science teacher, taught Biology and Human Physiology (a very advanced class dealing with the body). Health Class was taught by Mr. Cal DeKuiper. There has been some confusion on what department this class belonged to. According to Mr. DeKuiper, the three departments it could be included in are: Biology, Phys. Ed., or the Home Ec. department. It will be placed in the Home Ec. department next year. “Great!” was the comment given by Greenville’s “rookie” Biology teacher, Mr. Nolan, in regards to his impression of GHS and its Science Department. The 1985-86 school year was not only his first year teaching in Greenville, but also his first year teaching Biology. Mr. Nolan said he felt very comfortable and welcome at the beginning of the year, however. The aroma of deep fried squid to some students was very unpleasant, but in Mr. DeKuiper’s Biology class it was a once a year tradition. 76 — Biology There will always be the few who dare to be different and the brave came forth on squid dissection day. The slimy view of raw squid received a negative opinion from most students who took a first glance at the white meat. Being a little timid about eating squid is normal reaction to most Biology students. Stripping away fur from a carcass of a cat are Advanced Biology students Jennifer VanSyckie and Heather Jensen.

Seniors were required to take Government class to graduate and Juniors had to have a year of U.S. History, or College Prep History. World History and Geography were open for anyone but not required. Government classes gave students a look at how the different branches of Government work and their effect on the American people. By having two different History classes, students selected the one to best fit their needs. For the people continuing their education beyond high school there was College Prep and for the others needing basic knowledge of dates and events, there was regular U.S. History. World History was similiar to U.S. History, but covered a wider scale. Concerned not only with the United States, but with other countries as well, students learned about world affairs and our relations with foreign countries. Geography classes discussed the physical location of continents, countries and cities, to give students a better understanding of the world around them. U.S. History students spent lime in the library on research projects. Rhonda Tate discusses a research question with Mr. Deines. Deeply concentrating on a Government class assignment is led Welder. Social Studies — 79 “The tests were hard, everything else was very enjoyable.” Julie Sprague Blind walk and other A-MAZE-ING activities highlight year The 1985-86 school year brought both new and old to the Social Studies Department at GHS. Social Problems teacher Mr. Martin continued to get students involved with three and forty-five minute presentations. Students brought in guest speakers on topics such as drunk driving, abortions, safety when swimming, and running a business. Some brought in pets such as a horse, some pigeons, and Guess who? Mr. Schmachten-berger’s Psychology class had to do just that. Mike Stump dressed up as an it to see if the class could tell if he was male or female. even a tarantula. Movies, dirt bikes, children, and rock videos were among the other things presented to the class. Psychology, along with the traditional blind walk, to give the students an idea of what it is like to lose one of their main senses, had a new project this year. It was the building of a life-size maze. The idea originated from Jed Welder and Floyd Holdmen, and its purpose was to “compare and contrast learning styles of different categories of people. Students were pulled out of classes all during the day to go down to the gym, be blindfolded, and go through the maze while being timed. Their results were compared with what grade and type of classes the students were in. What seemed to surprise Jed Welder, who came up with the idea, was “the more education and learning a person had, the slower the times seemed to be.” The maze not only got attention from a lot of GHS students, but also was covered by Greenville Daily News and WZZM-13 News. There is talk of doing it again next year as a whole class project. Jed says he hopes it becomes a tradition in the GHS Social Studies Department.

Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, Honors, and Senior Math are but a few classes to challenge the minds of students. For those who want the math but not the mind mixing there is Consumer and Career Math courses which teach the bare necessities. Computers I and II ar also included in HS’s math department. These classes taught by Mr. Carlton, provided the students with an insight to the pros and cons of computers. He advised his students on what areas of computers technology were good career choices. A lot of people have trouble with Geometry because it involves a lot of memorization. Facts and figures build on each other from day one. Amy Jones agrees by saying “in order to do well in the latter part of the year you have to pay attention from the start.” Senior Math, by far the hardest and most challenging class offered at GHS, is an expansion on Trigonometry and Geometry. This class is not one to be taken lightly. Its requirements include Honors III or Algebra II, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry and a “B” average or higher. paneaNHj 82 — Math Working on his math homework during class is Senior Dave Wells.

When the Computers I class is assigned a program, they usually get a “have at it” day. This is a day when the class can work on anything they want and it is used mostly to work on programs. One of the programs assigned to the Computers II class was a traffic violation program. Ken House punches in his program as Scott Jewell watches in wonder. Kicking back and examining his mistakes helps Eric Holbrook get through a tough program in Computers II class. 84 — Computers Students benefit by ‘HAVE AT IT’ days in Computer class The words, “computers are changing the world”, are familiar to any students who have had Mr. Carlton for either Computers I or II classes. This year’s Computers I classes were composed of both male and female students with only two females and eighteen males who wanted to be challenged further in Computers II. This year’s class was hard for one to enroll because of the large waiting list. When asked why he thought there was such a large list, Mr. Carlton said, “There were many students that wanted to get into Computers class, but because of schedule conflicts, it wasn’t possible.” When asked about next year’s classes, he added “There is already over 60 people signed up for it.” The differences between Computers I and Computers II is that more work is done with the book in Computers I than in Computers II. In Computers I the basic elements of the computers and keywords are emphasized; whereas, in Computers II it is a review of Computers I with harder problems to be solved. Also, in Computers I, the students were allowed to work on programs in teams. When asked what she liked the best about Computers class, Lisa Hedger stated, “I like the freedom he gives because he gives a lot of free time to work on the computers.” Overall, many found out that the class was different than they had expected as demonstrated by exchange student Pablo Borreo’s statement: “I thought that it was going to be a lot of teaching from the board, but we got to use the computers a lot more than I had expected.” At times it is easier to understand a program with someone else’s explanation as demonstrated by Rob Bratty. Scott Jewell, and Ken House. Working diligently on their programs are Ken House and Geoff Solanics with Bill McMiilian and Scott Jewell looking on. “He gives a lot of free time to work on the computers” Lisa Hedger Computers — 85 One happy garcon is Senior Scott Lageon the way to foreign language day at Central Michigan University.

Seniors Scott Lage and John Silowsky formed the group for one of the many skits required in French. 86 — French Summer trip cancelled by TERRORISM in France and Europe Suzie Zarcovich, an exchange student from Germany, at a relaxed moment in French class. Taking a foreign language class not only makes you more aware of what goes on in other countries, but increases your English vocabulary as well. Without the French language, for instance, we would not have cliche’s, fondue or croissants. Instead, we’d have overused expressions, melted cheese, and buns. This year, many students took advantage of the opportunity to learn a second language. With the world shrinking quickly these students realized its importance. At the beginning of the year an excited first year teacher and the five French classes began preparing for a trip to France in the spring. Terrorism in France shot to an all-time high and many parents feared for the lives and safety of their children. With some quick thinking, arrangements were made to take two trips — one in the spring and one in the summer. Together, the students and their parents decided which trip to take. Spring was approaching quickly and the terrorism showed no signs of letting up. With most of the original group in attendance, during Spring Break, the first group left for France. After a safe trip, the 18 people returned. The amount of terrorism overseas kept increasing and finally the School Board recommended that the summer trip be cancelled. At the French Banquet in May, first year French teacher, Paula Adams, presented the John Rodgers award to Scott Lage. This award is presented annually to the Senior who exhibits a desire to learn French and is an active classroom participant, among other things. There was also a Scholarship of $300 given to John Si-lowski, who scored the highest in the French IV class on the National French Exam. A check of $10 was given to the student who best recited a French poem. Tackling a foreign language is not easy and some people have yet to master English, but its rewards are astounding.

Mrs. Kroodsma, as head of the Spanish Department, is there to acquaint students with the Spanish language and explain the background and culture of Spanish speaking people. Along with various other accomplishments, Mrs. Kroodsma managed to enlarge the Spanish Club by stating and enforcing that any student enrolled in Spanish class levels one through four were automatically in the Club. They had to be active members because it was counted as part of their final grade. The Club had its high points and its low points as expected of any club. A big plus for students was that yearly dues were dropped, instead they have a few fundraisers. was a “flop.” Mrs. Kroodsma said students want to party American style only!!

Spanish — 89 Opportunities for students to DISPLAY their work were plentiful “The best time I’ve had in Art III was when we got into a clay fight.” David Lutz The visual arts provide an artist an opportunity to portray his self expression through the use of paint, ink, clay and a great many other mediums. The limitation of an artists self-expression is only as limited as his imigination. Greenville High School provides its students with a variety of classes to develop their abilities and use their imagination to create a style showcase designed and constructed on a theme they had chosen. The Art Club also displayed their abilities, but unfortunately their art work was only temporary. Four Art Club members spent an entire Saturday painting Christmas scenes on one of the local business store windows. Though they took their assignment seriously, they also found time for a little horseplay and a pizza break. This year’s Art Club consisted of 23 members including the officers: President Lori Hodges; Vice-President Young Chong; (These 2 the officers also competed in the Cranbrook National Wildlife Scholarship.) Secretary Kim Jansen; Treasurer Julie King. As in any sport, class or competition, a person must use their talents and at the same time expand and stretch their abilities to the limit, as is the case in art. An artist must learn how to use and perfect their talent. And the best way to do so, like in any other thing, is to keep doing it over and over. And in art one small error could make a major difference in an artist’s composition. Art Club: Lori Hodges (President), Julie King (Treasurer), Kim Janssen (Secretary), Yong Chong (Vice-President).

They spend a good part of their ending summer practicing songs for parades and reviewing halftime performances. The Band officially starts its year with the annual Danish Festival Parade and the Belding Labor Day Parade. Directing the band for the marching season were field directors John Silowsky and Cassie Spohn. The Marching Band performed routines throughout the football season, including a beautiful lights-out performance. The Band members not only practiced during the school hours, but they also had to reserve two hours every Monday night at Black field. “I want to provide a worthwhile performance experience that will help students understand and appreciate music,” said Band Director, Keith Hudson. “Marching season is definitely the most demanding part of band Tammy Riley Cliff Niles stands at attention before performing the Star Spangled Banner.

When Marching season ended for the year, students celebrated at J.R.’s Roller Castle with a banquet to say good-bye to CMU student teacher Mark Johnson. Band members then divided into two separate bands: the Symphonic Band consisted of 46 members and the Concert Band had 80 members. Both bands took part in many activities during the Concert season. They performed a Christmas, Jazz and Spring Concert. In between all of these functions both bands went to Festival and State Competitions. Concert Band completed their competition with straight l’s whereas Symphonic didn’t do as well as expected. Andy Wheeler was nominated to the McDonald All-American band, he also received a $1,000 scholarship to Alma College and a Music Unlimited Scholarship. “All the band’s were very enjoyable to work with, and I’m looking forward to teaching as many successful bands next year,” said Keith Hudson. The Symphonic Band has received an invitation to perform at the American School Band Director’s Association National Convention to be held at Interlochen on June 24-27, 1987.

While building a better sense of expression through music, the main purpose of the Choir class is to recreate what the composer has put down on paper and enhance it with your own interpretation of what the song means. When asked what he felt students best responded to this year, Choir Director Joel Van Houten replied, “Choreography and staging to coincide with the song for final productions.” This year the Choir students raised $5,000 and purchased a sound system to be used for concerts and musicals. The new sound system allowed some freedom for soloists and small group performances. Junior Shawn Shindorf felt that Choir was more demanding than most people thought. “I hope that next year we (the Choir) can put on a musical. It takes talent and involves the whole class school with working lights, scene changes, etc. Instead of just singing, a musical would make a point.” Officers for the 1985-86 school year were: John McLain, President; Lou Frye, Vice President; Marilyn Mangus, Secretary. During Honors Week several awards were given to choir members. Lou Frye was awarded the Women’s Fellowship Award, the recipient of the Best Musician award was John McLain.

Activities ranged from speedball in the fall, bowling during the winter months and softball in the spring. Most activities that Physical Education has to offer are things that can be carried over into adult life. Such things as bowling during High School creates the opportunity for students to investigate the sport and perhaps pursue it in adult life on a league. Volleyball, Ping Pong and Badminton were some activities played Co-Ed. “Males and Females competing against each other create a lot of tension, but overall it makes them want to strive harder to be successful,” said Judy Hamilton, Girl’s PE Instructor. Although Advanced Gym was discontinued this year, Mr. Stankey hopes to include it in the 1986-87 school year. Other activities students enjoyed included Aerobics, wrestling, floor hockey, and cross country running. David Osterholzer thinks, “Gym class is a good way to stay in shape and it also is more fun because it allows students to get away from the regular classroom scene.” Mr. Stankey believes, “The physical ability of students improves from year to year. I only wish my classes could be more equally distributed.” Preparing to use one of (he three ways to return the ball to the opposing team are Doug Omillian, Bill Gu-lembo, and Jeff Webster.

The FFA had its hands full of exciting competitions such as the Archery Contest where Matt Kuhn won first place. The contest took place on a crisp fall day, and afterwards, the spirits were still high when some of the students got together to raise money for leadership camps and more contests by selling cider. They sold 60 gallons, which brought in money, but not as much as the hot dog stand at the Danish Festival. In the Forestry Class the biggest competition was the Woodland Evaluation contest. The winners in that were Doug Jones, with a 94, Jamie Quast with a 93 and Julie King with a 90. The class was proud of those students, and even more they were proud of the winners in the Land Judging contest. Of the 22 students that competed, the winners were Mark Williams with 198, Tobey Nichols with a I88V2, and Dan Barowkon with a 181. Five of the students in FFA had the opportunity to go to camp. Melinda Creasap remembers back when she was at camp all the fun they had canoeing, playing soft-ball and playing volleyball. But it wasn’t all fun and games. They had competed with different FFA students from all over the state. Being in the Agriculture classes may not seem exciting to many people, but for the people who are in it, they know what it’s like to know about nature. Being in the FFA is a great experience. The Elementary students are glad for the classes too. Thanks to the Ag. Dept., Baldwin students now have a beautiful landscape in front of their school.

Sheet metals classes taught by Mr. Duane Putnam taught the students about slams, heating, air conditioning ducts, fabrication and foundry. Self-behavior was developed and measurement skills were also taught. A class also taught by Mr. Putnam, Welding, prepared the students for vocational machine shop classes. It taught them the basics of activities in LEARNING time spent in shops oxy acetylene and arc welding and toward the end of the semester tig, mic welding. Power Mechanics class taught the students the basics about small engines and gave the students the topics of a general overhaul. This class taught by Mr. Bremer, also prepared the students for Auto Mechanics and general maintenance on most any small engine. Putting confidence in the students and encouraging them to use common sense is one of the main goals in the wood working classes. The Beginning and Advanced Woods classes have some required projects they must do in the beginning of class to help them learn the basic operations of the various machines in the shop, but then they are given a little more space for creativity when doing new difficult projects later in the semester. The drafting classes help the students to learn a sense of sequence. Certain steps have to be taken in order to have the final outcome be a success. Demonstrating the proper way to adjust and use power equipment occurs frequently in shop classes. Mr. Duane McIntyre shows Robert Bromley the safest way to do so. Precision, neatness, and care ul attention to detail are standards of excellence in Drafting. junior Stacey Burke polishes her drawing to adhere to those standards. 104 — Industrial Arts Meeting a deadline yet producing Joe Cooper gets last minute quality is the goal of most woods stu- instructions before beginning at dents. his work station for the day. 5? gQthisasTudem working Smo T'0 °nd advi« 8 classTs r M° 'S dra in8 on the band saw.

A real treat to the Auto class was when John Tedder, a famous race car driver from MOTECH, stopped in for the Greenville High School Auto class. He asked them if they could fix a broken oil pan. Senior Mike Wymer says that “it was a great honor to do that for him!” To show his appreciation, he gave the class, and a lot of others, a few burnouts behind the school. From Mr. Tichelaars point of view, the students in his Vocational Machine classes are ones he can be proud of. Some of the ideas that his students have brought into the classes for their projects just happened to be winners in the MIES competition. Seniors Kevin Shank, Jon Brandt and Scott Wilson were awarded first place in regionals on the washer die they made. A few more winners were Senior Dan Dempsey, who won first place also on a chess set he made. Bill Peterson, who made a shop crane, also won first place and Trevor Hanson received a third place with the drill press vice he made. Kevin Shank and Scott Wilson both feel the same way about the class, “The more effort we put into our projects, the more we get out of it.” When the school year came into swing this year, Mr. Gates was the teacher for the Vocational Auto classes. But on October 21, there was a big change. Mr. Dan Blackmer was hired for the vacancy when Mr. Gates was named Vocational Director. With him he brought many new ideas. The students, now that they know him, Auto class is a very rewarding class in many ways and Chris Wiison finds it comes in handy when he needed to fix his tires. 106 — Vocational Shop Using concentration, Scott Wilson works to finish his project for the MIES competition. Students gathered around when the famous MOTECH race car driver John Tedder did bum outs behind the Auto Shop to show his appreciation for the work done on his car in the shop. Not all days are that bad in Machine class, and Mr. Tichelar takes a break to share a few laughs with his students. Having the MOTECH race car visit GHS was an honor, especially when they got to work on it. Here Craig Thin waits to see if Mr. Blackmer needs assistance in changing the car's oil.

I can make money and earn credits at the same time.” Chris Fuhrman HANDS-ON experiences for hundreds Practicing secretarial skills, learning how to manage a small business or actually being part of one are all part of the Vocational Program at GHS. Students interested in pursuing a career in a Secretarial field found the Vocational Office Practice class to be worthwhile. By typing, copying or doing other things for teachers, these girls increased their secretarial abilities for the future. Distributive Education was also found to be a helpful class. Students learned how to manage money, interview for jobs and each had to do a sales presentation for the class. D.E. II students each had a sponsor to report to a few times a week. Although they did not get paid, they got class credit and some practical experience. Senior, Suzette Fluger said, “The business people really benefit because they’re training people for free who might be able to work later. The Co-op program allows students to earn money and get credit at the same time. It provides them with some job opportunities they might not otherwise have. Usually the student has a job before entering Co-op, but if not Mr. Gates, Vocational Director, will find one. A new summer program has just been started that al- lows the student to get credit during the summer, but you do have to pass a related class during the school year. Whether you plan on going to college, entering the job market, or anything else after High School, these programs were a lot of help.

Business class offerings DEMAND skills and dexterity Sophomore Missy Moore is looking forward to taking business classes which include Accounting, Shorthand, Typing and Typing II. Missy feels that she will “benefit from the experience and the teaching skills of Mr. Reed and Mrs. Neit-zel.” Mr. Reed, instructor of typing and accounting, took time out of his typing class to introduce fun with the type- Mr. Reed feels, “the students turn out to be good people and can take their place in an office uptown and do a good job.” Mrs. Neitzel, head of the Business Department, saw more competition this year between her two classes of Shorthand than in previous years. The classes tried to take dictation at eighty words a minute with a minimum of errors. The goal was achieved by two people with several others obtaining seventy. The load was lightened by playing Shorthand bingo and doing crossword puzzles. Students worked on a combination of production and accuracy in Mrs. Neit-zel’s Typing II class. .1 writers. The students were able to type pictures from Mickey Mouse to the American flag. Mr. Reed emphasized control and concentration by assigning two people to a typewriter. One student was the left hand and the other was the right hand. Students developed speed by typing to the beat of a record. Accounting was made as real as possible by giving the students a packet called The Cycle Center. It allowed the students to experience the process an accountant uses. Students were able to work some of their problems on a computer. I � “Typing is a real challenge. It involves a lot of listening and concentration.” Jennifer Foote 110 — Business An accounting exercise requires detailed work and diligence. JoEllen Petersen concentrates on those details. Concentration is the name of the game as Mike King finds out in a Typing exercise. Timed tests occur frequently in Mr. Reed's typing class. Not looking at the keys is an important step in learning how to type. Jody Hankis seems to have mastered the typing system very well. Business — 111 The results of the football jersey sale, are explained by Pat Cameron and adviser Kathy Engel during an Allied Health Club meeting.

GHS senior Tim Kissel and Junior Jack Cooper were the only two from Greenville to complete the course. A communication game designed by Cadet Teacher Kim Hurst is played in Paul Engel’s eighth grade English class. 112 — Special Programs Special needs filled by SPECIAL program offerings Building Trades has not actually been part of the Greenville Senior High curriculum since 1980 because of the expense and liabilities. This year students traveled to Belding everyday for two hours to participate in the Building Trades program. In exchange several Belding students came to Greenville to be part of Machine Shop classes. Five Greenville students began the year but only Senior Tim Kissel and Junior Jack Cooper completed the course. Health Careers tracks back to 1948 in cooperation with nurses aid students. Seventy-five percent of the students go into health related occupations. Juniors and Seniors who have an interest in a Health Field find what it is and further their knowledge. Two days a week are spent by students at the classroom at United Memorial Hospital for lectures; the other three days they spend in work study capacities around the community, including: Laboratory, X-ray, Physical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Pharmacy, Optometry, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine depending on the perference of the student. To complete the class students had to take CPR and Multi-Media First Aid courses and receive their cards. Cosmetology was held at the Montcalm County Careers Center in cooperation with Greenville Senior High School. This was the 16th year Greenville Senior High sent students to attend the Cosmetology program. Five students successfully completed the year. Cosmetology was a shared time course and a two year program. Two and V2 hours as a Junior and four hours as a Senior. Cadet Teaching is an altogether different line of training.

Varsity Club, after 10 years of nonexistence, was restored this year with the help of Mark Swanson and Roger Schenefield. The club started off in September with a preinitiation pig roast inviting Varsity Letter winners to attend in hopes of drawing future members. After a five day initiation week of wearing embarrassing wooden plaques, lugging around sports equipment, wearing crazy hats and dressing up in purple and gold clothing, selections of Varsity Club members were made. A Scavenger Hunt and Initiation Breakfast hosted by the GHS Coaches highlighted the entire week. Such activities as the trip to the Pontiac Silverdome to watch the High School Football Championship, working at the Greenville Holiday Wrestling Tournament, and staying up all night watching movies, eating pizza, and playing games at the Varsity Club Lock-In were only a few of the activities. But in order to further these events, members of the Club sold raffle tickets for a three wheeler motor bike during Basketball games and M M candy to students. Varsity Club members also took part in activities to benefit others such as serving a Christmas dinner and song night at the Friendship House and helping out at the Special Olympics. “It took a lot of time and effort, but it was worth every minute.” Kim Cooper Staff members spent over 5,000 HOURS producing 1986 yearbook “OK ladies and Floyd, let’s get to work,” and the Yearbook staff moves around looking busy after hearing this nearly every day, second semester sixth hour in Room 139 by Yearbook Adviser John Larsen.

Junior Floyd Holmden often got singled out. Working together the Yearbook staff spent over 5,000 hours writing copy captions, designing layouts, and raising money to produce a good yearbook. With only two staff members returning from last year, production the first month or so of school went slow as much time was spent on training. The ’86 book is the largest GHS yearbook since the ninth grade moved to the Middle School almost a decade ago. Included in the 1985-86 yearbook was a uniquely designed cover, new graphics, and 15 color pages (more than ever before).

LET LOOSE and unveil hidden talents Though most people didn’t feel that sitting in Government class was packed with action, there was a way to expand knowledge in the government field, take part in school and community activities and have fun at the same time. Student Council touched on each of these and more. Student Council was headed by Mayor Mike Schmiedecke, Vice-Mayor Lori Hodges, Secretary Julie King, Treasurer Roy Ferguson, and the three Supreme Court justices John Kul-macz, Steve Mount, and Steve Laurent and adviser Rod Green. This years Council of 42 representative members carried out traditional activities but also threw in a few new ones. In-school Forum, Student Council Lock-In and Skit Night were all added to the agenda this year. The In-School Forum was a chance for students to partake in three classes of their choice, dealing with special interests, while the Lock-In kept the students in the school for the night. Provided at the Lock-In were movies, table games and food. Skit Night provided everyone with a chance to let loose and unveil some of their hidden talents. One of this years main attractions was the unrivaled band “The Hate Snots” who were three prominent Student Council members. Over 270 people attended the First Annual Shecky Green Memorial Skit Night. Feet get tangled as Tim Kissel.

Student Council 139 Student leadership in ABUNDANCE “It gives me recognition for the work I put into my classes.” Lori Willison This year the Honor Society had a lot to be glad about. On November 4, 1985, 15 new members were inducted into the National Honor Society by a candlelight ceremony with a reception following for the new members and their families and friends. Of these 15 members, one was a senior. The address given at the ceremony was by Dr. N.P. Sorensen. The officers for the 1985-86 school year were: Angi Faiks, President; Kelly Cornell, Vice-President; Rhonda at GHS this pear Roy, Secretary; Steve Laurent, Treasurer; Julie Lane, Reporter; and John Kulmazc as Parliamentarian. One of the things that was new this year was for several members to go over to the Middle School and talk to the ninth graders about how important grades are to them and how they should strive to make the best of their school life. They also put on a breakfast for the high school teachers, which was held in the high school cafeteria. Girls’ State had five girls who participated while Boys’ State had twelve boys who were able to take part. The Michigan Educational Assessment Program, or MEAP for short, was taken by the Sophomore class with thirty-three scoring 100% on both the math and reading tests. There were also seventeen of them scoring 100% on just the math test and forty-eight scoring 100% only on the reading test. 1985-86 National Honor Society Inductees: Front Row: Missy Weber, Amy Jones, Tammy Silowsky, Shellee Jensen, Noreen Doherty, Kendra Hopkins, Connie Skinner, Lori Willison.

Sharing the total day to day school experience with over 800 others created plentiful opportunities for numerous meaningful friendships. Spending one to twelve years of school was better in Greenville, where FRIENDS ABOUND w :'v_ Getting through high school means that friends have to listen to our complaints, hear our cries and put up with our traumas. Although teachers, textbooks and desks make up a high school, students are the most important ingredient. Without them GHS would only be an empty brick building. No chatter, giggles or gossip would fill the hallw'ays, cafeteria and classrooms. But within this mixture of students are enemies, best friends and sweethearts. “Next year I’m going to attend Butler College in Indianapolis, and although I’ll be leaving a lot of close friends behind, I know I’m going to make a lot of new ones,” stated Senior Noreen Doherty. Some students, such as Junior Kim Cooper, are starting to prepare ahead for their Senior year. “It’s easier to be close with a group of friends because I know that when I have to leave next year, I would rather say goodbye to 12 really close friends rather than one best friend.” Regardless, getting there together made it all seem easier. Clever costumes were abundant during Homecoming Week dress-up days and Julie Gerdes wore a wardrobe with wild combinations. Thenext best thing to cheating is an open book test, right? Maybe to some students it’s beneficial, but John Granzo still finds Chemistry tests frustrating. People — 123 Sophomores ites of passage For one whole week there is a semi-reasonable excuse for Sophomore tardies and being in the wrong room. Every year Sophomores entering the High School are welcomed with open arms by the upperclassmen. The Commons filled during each lunch as each Sophomore who volunteered was asked to dance or maybe sing to a loved one. With Juniors and Seniors standing on the benches and everyone gathered around the “G”, one by one the panicky victims were initiated into the High School. Although it didn’t appear that way, through initiation the new students began to feel more comfortable with their surroundings. The purpose of it was exactly that — to let them know that they were a part of the High School. Since most people just entering a new school find it difficult to make friends, find all the classrooms and learn hundreds of new names right away, this just made it easier. For one whole week there is a semi-reasonable excuse for tardies and being in the wrong room. “I was being initiated!” was all a Sophomore needed to say during the first week of school. Incoming Sophomores were also faced with locker fear, hallway fear and teacher fear. What if you forget your combination? Or if your locker was in the commons? What if you disappeared in the hallway and no one found you for days? What if the teachers were really that mean? Sophomore, Adriane Duncan said she was most frightened of getting lost. “I was quite bewildered as to the location of my surroundings. I guess you could say I felt lost.” Initiation was not the only thing that made this school for Sophomores what it was. For the first time ever the class must pull together and build a Homecoming float. The chances they will build a winning float are slim but they must try. Another “rite of passage” for some was Drivers Education. Many people turned the magical age of sixteen during their Sophomore year and were on the roads shortly thereafter. Striking terror in the hearts of family and friends they skid out of the driveway and down the street. Things will never be the same. Sophomore Class Officers: Seated: Charlie Choi, President.

Now a trip is planned to France over the summer. Julie Bucholtz, a Greenville High School Sophomore, could be described as being “on her toes.” As an aspiring dancer she enjoys Tap, Jazz, and Ballet. Since starting with lessons at age ten she has improved her natural abilities and six years later, we find her dancing with the River City Movin’ Company in Grand Rapids. Her dancing has already taken her to Spain and Morocco. Now a trip to France is being planned for this coming summer. With the River City Dance troupe she gets to travel to other countries and perform during their festivals. The group has one set performance that varies in length for each occasion. Although the Company did not help finance the trip to Spain, they are expected to aid in funding for the upcoming trip to France. Such devotion to a pursuit takes a lot of time and practice. Julie takes lessons on Wednesday nights and practices for two hours on Saturday mornings. Most of the people in the Company are between the ages of 12 and 17, although there is no age limit. Many times her group is called upon to dance at various festivals around the state. Probably the hardest time for her to dance was at the Danish Festival in her own city. This is because she dislikes performing in front of people she knows. “I get really nervous when I know I’ll be in front of people that 1 know. With total strangers I’m fine.” Like everything else, serious dancing has it’s price, and the cost of this hobby is not a small one. It costs to take lessons every week and the once-a-year-costume can get expensive. Time away from family and friends can get to be a hassle too. Usually, her mom drives her to Grand Rapids for her lessons and stays until it’s over. Julie hopes to continue dancing but doesn’t have high hopes of becoming a professional, “There are just too many great dancers to compete with, the odds aren’t very good. I’d rather just dance for fun.” Warming up before an intense practice session, Julie Buchholtz works on per ecting her piie’ at a school of dance in Grand Rapids where she regularly trains and works out.

Slalom competition is performed on only one ski. It begins with the skier at the end of a 75 foot rope and the boat speed at 26 mph. The object is to complete the slalom course as many times as possible. Tanya Matchett, a sophomore, is a talented slalom skier. She has placed in the top 3 positions in State Competition in 1983 and 1984. From the State level she advanced to the Regional Competition which includes 7 states. She and sister Robin both placed in the top 10 at Regionals in 1985. In 1984 she went to Nationals in Louisiana, and although, due to nervousness, she did not ski as well as usual, she thought the experience was good for her. She became interested after reading about the Clifford Lake, Summer Fest, Water Skiing tournament, in the Daily News. Tanya exclaims, “It must have been fate. I noticed the G L (Garry Lynn) School of Waterskiing article, in little print on the bottom of the front page, while I was laying in the sun.” Tanya and her sister began competitive skiing in 1982 at Clifford Lake. Tanya brought home the female division first place trophy and Robin took second place. They have participated in slalom tournaments every summer since then. They began recreational skiing around the age of 6 at their home on Burgess Lake. Competition water skiing is a bit different than recreational skiing though. The boat drives directly down the middle as the skier attempts to complete a series of criss-cross maneuvers around 6 buoys. If this is completed the speed is increased to 28 mph, 30 mph, 32 mph, then 34 mph, the maximum speed for women. When the speed reaches maximum the rope is shortened. Tanya has met her early performance goals and now is striving to break her record of 4 Vi buoys with a 47 foot rope. The girls have both spent most of their time during the summer at G and L in Charlotte. Training for competitive skiing, as well as any other sport, takes a lot of time away from family and friends. During the summer they live with the people who run the ski schools and estimate that they go home one day a week. Tanya commented, “I’m just okay at a lot of things. Skiing is something I’m really good at, and it’s fun!” She has won many trophies and plaques during her four years of competition. She then stated, “Robin and I have taken first in state competitions for the past two years.” She is looking forward to skiing in Michigan tournaments and out of state tournaments, in 1986. She said, “My parents know how much skiing means to me and they will help support me.” With o look of delerminolion. Tanya Matchett pulls hersel out of a turn and tries to get to the next buoy early enough to cut around it.

John Harris holds the rank of Airman and enjoys using the skills that CAPs has given him. “I think the Search and Rescue skills could be really helpful in the community. Someday it might come in handy.” Floyd Holmden, a Junior, is also a member. He is the Public Affairs Officer and Photographer which makes him responsible for writing notices to the Daily News of upcoming events. “I love the photography part but I wouldn’t lose any sleep if I wasn’t a Public Affairs Officer,” Floyd says. Scott Fraser, another Junior, is the Commander (Cadet Sergeant) of the group. He plans to go into Aeronautical Engineering at the Air Force Academy. Although he doesn’t have his pilots license now, he is working towards one and expects to receive it next year. “The Civil Air Patrol is a big commitment in my life,” says Scott. “I’m making a career out of it so I have to put everything into it.” Senior Denise Duffing, is not a member of CAPS but enjoys flying. After taking it up as a hobby many years ago her interest has grown and she’ll soon be receiving her pilot’s license. Her plans after high school graduation are to be a private pilot and after some more testing, an instructor. Unlike the CAPS program there is a fee for her to fly. She pays for this herself, with a little help from her family. Knowing the owner of the Greenville Airport has made it easier for her to take up such an interesting hobby, he got her interested. “I wasn’t sitting around waiting for someone to tell me to do something, but that’s what happened. He’s a friend of the family and after hearing some stories of his, I decided it would be fun.” Besides the pleasure as- pect of it Denise figures she’ll make more money instructing right after High School than she would going to college and doing something else. Whatever their reason for enjoying airplanes, these four all agree on one thing — it’s just plane fun! “Flight by my command, attentionwas the command given to these Civil Air Patrol members by their flight commander. John Harris stands in the center awaiting further commands. 130 Abbott — Hall David Barnhart Violet Beilfuss Ronda Black Nancy Blackledge Laura Blumberg John Brailey Richard Brock Marc Bromley Tracey Brown Stacey Burke Dan Burns Amy Butterworth Kim Cantrell Tim Carnes Cynthia Cavanough Tammy Caverley Wendy Chambers Andy Christensen Chris Christensen Raquel Christensen Shanna Christensen Vicki Clark Alan Cluckey TYoy Collier Leanna Conlon Lori Cook Joe Cooper Kim Cooper Chris Corner Karen Costner Melinda Creasap Monica Deiters Allen Demorest Debby Denevan Gilbert DeVries Jeri DeWitt Kevin Dines Aimee Disser Jeffery Dorey Susan Doty Lorri Duram Cindy Eccles Richard Ehlert Mary Ellsworth Toni Enbody Bill Engstrom Paul Ferguson Roy Ferguson Jenny Fisher Theodore Foote Callie Foster Melisa Foster Brian Franklin Jody Fricker Chris Fuhrman Alisa Fulger Doreen German Leigh Glazer Troy Gough Travis Graham John Granzo Lisa Greenhoe Chad Haight Chuck Hall 131 Juniors eeing double Sets of twins cause double takes for Junior class pairs. Lookalikes cause confusion for teachers too. The journey through high school years is a challenging one and eight students of the Junior class have someone with whom to share the trip. Juniors Brian and Brad Stauffer, Mike and Dave Lutz, Linda and Lisa Hinton, Brenda Rose and Kendra Witzel are these eight students. Being a twin has both its advantages and disadvantages. Getting mixed up seems to be a common annoyance shared by all twins or simply being mistaken for one individual. Kendra Witzel, Brenda Rose, Linda and Lisa Hinton have had problems in the past with having only one of the two twins pictures put in the yearbook instead of both. One of the greatest disadvantages Linda Hinton feels is constantly being lumped together with her twin Lisa. “A friend will rarely ask me to go or do something with- out adding, ‘of course Lisa can come too.’ Usually I enjoy it but sometimes it would be nice to have someone single just me out.” She also says it’s getting better as they get older. Competing for friends, attention at home, and good grades in school can also come with being a twin. Brian Stauffer says he and his brother Brad “enjoy competing in academics and sports.” Lisa Hinton finds herself competing against her sister for better grades and says “but it’s not all bad, it helps my GPA.” Brian Stauffer, along with several other of the twins, feels having someone around to do things with all the time is the greatest advantage of being a twin. Brian enjoys playing tennis as one of the things they do together. One of the greatest benefits Kendra Witzel feels is “you will always have someone to talk to your own age, someone who understands your feelings.” She also added “your twin is also a best friend, someone who will always be there.” Sharing the load of homework is another advantage of being a twin. One exception seemed to be Dave and Mike Lutz. Dave doesn’t think being a twin affects himself one way or another. “I don’t even think of myself as a twin, and the only thing we have in common is that we both like crunchy peanut butter.” One out of every 80 births produces twins. Twins tend to run in the family and skip every other generation. Competing in school, constantly getting mixed up with someone else, sharing a lot of what is yours, and having a constant companion all through high school is all part of being a twin. Good or bad all depends on who you ask. Teachers over the years have surely been confused telling the twins apart and confusing the twins as well by calling them by the other’s names. Mr. Larsen had Mike and Dave Lutz in class in consecutive semesters and is constantly referring to Dave as Mike. “Or is it to Mike as Dave” he said puzzled. Teachers, other classmates and twins themselves see confusion and face peculiar frustrations that “single born” do not have to face. There are indeed mixed attitudes and feelings about being half of a pair. Linda and Lisa Hinton, Dave and Mike Lutz, and Brenda Rose and Kendra Witzel are twins who have experienced the bene its and disadvantages of being often considered ha If of a pair.

His mother says that sometimes he carries it too far. Some friends and family members of Greg Merrens, a Greenville High School Junior, sometimes tease him about his “addiction” to Elvis Presley. His Mother says that sometimes he carries it too far. Greg first started impersonating Elvis when he was in 9th grade. He had written down two of Elvis’ songs and brought them to school. His friend, Eddy Sprague, then asked their teacher, Mr. Fox, if Greg could sing for them during their Social Studies class. This was his first performance. Now he still performs for friends when they ask him to. During Spring Break, for the past four years, Greg has visited Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee with his family. Elvis’ house is called Graceland. Greg commented, “The house is really big with 18 televisions, a gold piano, two chandeliers, and many mirrors. The first time we went I just couldn’t wait to see it. It is still exciting every time. Once Elvis’ Un- cle Vester was there greeting visitors. I was ‘all shook up,’ as Elvis would say, when I shook his hand,” Greg said. “I don’t collect anything but Elvis,” stated Greg. He has 47 albums, 22 cassettes, and 13 45’s. In his room you will find albums on racks, a closet full of such souvenirs as photo albums and postcards, and many posters on the walls. His mother has told him that he has so many posters he should glue them together and make wallpaper. Every Friday Greg searches through the paper to see if there are any Elvis movies scheduled for the coming week. Greg claimed, “Elvis has so much in him. He is an entertainer, singer, and actor. He has the strength to make his audiences feel. His voice makes you feel better about yourself. He has a good sense of humor, he enjoys singing, and he lifts spirits when they are down.” Greg plans to go back to Graceland next year with his family, and after he graduates he wants to go to Memphis and work in an Elvis gift shop. Greg said, “I plan to keep my collection of Elvis forever.” He went on to say, “It would be nice to hear more of him everyday so no one would forget him. I even keep pictures in my wallet so I can look at him anytime so I’ll never forget him.” Locally renowned Elvis fan Greg Merren has even mastered impersonations of the late king of rock and roll. Juniors — 135 Seniors Teresa Antcliff Scolt Athey Heidi Ayers left Bannen Richard Bartrum Belinda Bauer Jeffrey Bennett Patrick Bernard Ellen Bigelow Jill Bigelow Not unnoticed Seniors win float competition, select class colors and “masquerade” at JR's Roller Castle for prom. The graduating class of 1986 did not pass through GHS unnoticed. After winning the float competition and some of the excitement from Homecoming was gone, the Seniors were ready to think about Graduation — a bit early maybe. They were busy with campaigning for the class colors and announcements to the dismay of the “pastel people” and the joy of the others, Royal Blue and Black would represent the class. During the middle of the year there was a short lull in the Senioritis. Now, they were more concerned with counting each point for a cord or passing Government class. But, by February the Seniors were in full swing. The countdown to Swing- Out was painted in the commons and a number crossed off each day to unnecessarily remind Seniors they would soon be out. They sold a mug with the entire class listed on it as a momen-to of their High School years. The Junior Senior Prom had a new atmosphere this year, being held at JR’s Roller Castle. This made for easier setting up and also provided some “extras” for the couples. “It had such an air of elegance — our Masquerade ball was like a real castle” said Senior Olga Ri-queros. Her only regret was that we didn’t use very many decorations this year and although it was a lot easier it took away a lot of fun. After Prom the search was on for a graduation dress or a perfect tie to go under the gown. The weeks before Swing-out flew by and when it arrived most felt it came too soon. Remembering the things they wanted to do but never did, and trying to forget the things they did but never wanted to do, the class of ’86 will always remember their years at GHS. Senior Class Officers for the 1985-86 year are Angi Faiks, Vice President; Robin Matched, President; and Kelly Cornell, Secretary. Absent: Rhonda Roy, Treasurer.

Looking back on the turmoil of the governmental uprising in the Philippines Angi stated, “Everyone kept saying, “aren’t you glad you weren’t there?”, but 1 wish that I had been. It’d be the best time to be there, scary at moments but interesting. In regards to any similarities between the two cultures (U.S. and the Philippines) Angi immediately answered, “Everything is different: food, dating, nightlife, names; everything except McDonald’s.” In the Philippines rice is eaten three and four times a day. Their snack at night is cold rice left over from daily meals. Lots of vegetables and fresh fruit also are part of the daily diet. Seafood such as crab and shrimp is often seen on dining tables in the Philippines. The popular drinks are Coke and alcoholic beverages, as there is no legal drinking age limit. “The dating scene is in no way similar to what we are used to. The young men have more respect for the young ladies and send flowers, candy, and a present for some time before they even ask a lady out. The first time a man asks a lady out she will quite often refuse to go. The man will continue to court the young lady until she consents to go out with him,” Angi said. “My sister, in the Philippines, dated a guy for 3 years before he ever kissed her,” states Angi. “It is a really nice feeling to be courted.” Travel over water is common in the 7,000 island Philippines. These Philippine natives are preparing to board for a journey to a nearby island. Other islands are visible in the background. 338 — Seniors Doherty — House Gerald Garvey Dennis Geer Julie Gerdes Jim Gillmer Angela Gladding Danielle Gladding Lynette Greenhoe Brady Griffith Don Guelzo Bill Gulembo Tony Haines Reina Hamer Suzette Hamilton Trevor Hansen Scott Harrington Jeff Harris Heidi Hatch Michelle Hatley Judy Hattenbach Patricia Hebert Amee Henrichsen Lori Hodges Eric Holbrook Yvonne Houck John House Seniors — 139 Seniors Kenneth House lamie Humble Kimberly Hurst Timothy Hyde Sirpa Ikonen Christine Ingersoll Kimberly Janssen Valerie Jarle Terri Jenkins Scott Jewell Nicholas Jimenez Ruben Jimenez Gwen Johnson Thad Jones Kellie Kent Adam Kerns Joylynn Killgore Julie King Timothy Kissel Wendy Klepper Kimberly Knapp John Kulmacz Scott Lage Julie Lane Victoria Larsen 140 — Seniors House — McElhaney Steven Laurent Brian Lillie Stephen Lindeman )ay Linton Teresa Loding Mario Loper Marilyn Mangus Robin Matchett Kristine Maxon Teresa McElhaney edious burger Differing cultures of exchange students provide for many mutual learning opportunities. The repetition of hamburgers and fast food becomes tedious after awhile. This statement seemed to reflect the opinion of all four GHS exchange students. Pablo Borrero of Madrid, Spain; Valerie Jarle of Lyon, France; Sirpa Ikonen of Syortinna, Finland; and Susy Zarkovic of Offenburg, Germany; found a temporary home in Greenville during the 1985-86 school year. Both Pablo and Valerie came to the United States through the Interschola Exchange Student Program. When asked if he thought that coming to the US was a good experience for him Pablo replied, “Yes, even in bad moments, I have learned about myself and others.” Since arriving here in late August Pablo says he has made many new friends, learned to ski among other things, and has a better understanding of the English language. When asked her first impression of the US, upon her arrival the end of August, Valerie recalled, “everything seemed too big, people were open-minded and friendly, many interested in Europe. Valerie said she had found Brownies and other sweets her favorite snacks during her visit. “1 have gained 20 pounds in the last couple of months, but it does not bother me and I am enjoying myself very much,” Valerie said with a grin. When asked by a teacher to be an exchange student in the US, Sirpa begrudgingly accepted. Looking back she feels that she made a excellent decision, “I have learned a great deal about myself and the United States which will help me with my future goals.” Before her departure in July Sirpa hopes to lose weight and see a great deal more of America. Susie started school at GHS during December of 1985. She feels that she has grown both emotionally and psychologically since her ar- rival. “Yes, I have learned not only about others and how they feel but I am also beginning to know myself better,” Suzy replied when asked if she thought that this year away from home and in a foreign country had been good for her. Pablo, Valerie, Sirpa and Susy all enjoyed attending GHS where they were enrolled as Seniors. While enjoying all that there is to learn from a year in a foreign country, these students also came with much to share with those GHS students who were willing to learn. Seniors — 141 Seniors -3 he great debate After all the arguing, complaining and voting, royal blue and black prevailed as the most popular choice. It’s early December, and the Seniors are already thinking about Graduation. On December 5th nearly fifty percent of the Senior class cast votes for their favorite combination of colors and best looking announcements. Few underclassmen realized the impact of these decisions and were surprised to see some otherwise difficult to arouse Seniors hanging posters, and voicing strong opinions throughout the halls. To the average student these decisions seemed minor and served as a good excuse for too many Senior meetings. For Seniors, eagerly awaiting June 8th, it became a matter of great importance. They had to make a decision about what to wear in six months. As soon as the preliminary election was over and the two remaining choices announced, the halls filled with criticism and complaints. Purple and gold was eliminated and black and black and royal blue and black remained as the final two choices. The elimination of the school colors sent some into a frenzy. When Senior Advisor, Mr. Carlton was asked if he had anything to say about the color choices his only comment was “Nothing that can be printed.” More than a few teachers expressed dis- appointment that dark colors were popular this year. After all the arguing, complaining and voting, royal blue and black prevailed as the most popular color choice. Voting results show that more than half of the Seniors who voted wanted this combination. After the choice was made, a couple students suggested a protest of colors to the class. Even though the class had some mixed emotions, the majority of voting Seniors chose royal blue and black and are very proud of their decision. They are happy with their unique result even after so much deliberation, but like they say, getting there is half the battle. Accurately counting votes for senior graduation colors are seniors Lori Hodges, Vicki Vandermay (junior) and Kelly Cornell. Blue and Black ivas chosen by over 60% of the voters.

Along with graduation comes many new responsibilities. Even before the ceremonies start Seniors must decide what they want to do for the next few years of their lives. During their high school junior year, students begin to research various colleges and decide whether or not they feel the need to go on to school, find a profession, join the armed services, get married or other endless possibilities. Seniors have made selective choices involving their future. John Kulmacz is planning to attend University of Michigan, or New York University. He wants to enroll in basic classes his first year and claim his major later. Another senior, Wendy Klepper, is moving to Montana with her boyfriend to attend school at Montana State University. She would like to become an elementary school teacher. Nikki and Jon Brandt got married December 20th, 1985. After graduation they plan to keep living in Belding. Nikki will work at Eight Cap, while Jon is at Miejers. Seniors Tammy Petross and Olga Riqueros are each engaged. After Tammy gets married in September she plans to stay in Greenville and work at Meijers. Olga plans to get married in about three years, and in the meantime attend Davenport College to major in business. Rather than going to school Michelle Hatley wants to move to Grand Rapids and get a job, while Amee Henrichsen is going to take a year off and enjoy life, she says. The possibilities were endless, but the great decision was forced upon them and it was handled in different ways for different reasons.

Julie Melton and Scott Jewell are two Greenville Seniors who are aspiring musicians. The fact that Julie is blind and Scott is confined to a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy, doesn’t stop them from striving toward their goals. “I began writing lyrics in 7th grade to express my thoughts and feelings,” stated Scott. He writes lyrics for songs but he does not compose them. Scott enjoys music so he decided to take on the challenge of writing. “I like to experiment. I enjoy a little bit of everything but, Rock Roll is my favorite,” exclaimed Scott. Scott is going to Montcalm Community College after he graduates. He will begin working toward a two year degree and eventually end up with a Masters if he decides he likes what he is doing. Scott has decided to go into the field of social work because he wants to pass on his experiences to different handicapped people and help them better cope with their lives. Another reason he is directed toward social work is that he wants to have something to fall back on. While he is in school, writing will be his hobby; but someday he would like to become a professional writer. He went on, “I can’t rely on music because it doesn’t have a good income until you become famous, and not a big percentage of writers become famous.” Eventually Scott would like to live in or around Los Angeles, California. “That’s where the producers and big-wigs hang out,” he explained. Meanwhile he will work toward his (and many other peoples) most important goal; “to be rich and famous.” He would like to be able to support his parents after all the years they did things to support him. “They spoiled me rotten,” he claims. Scott has enjoyed going to school in Greenville. For him it has been more fun than his old school. Here he doesn’t get special attention from the student body, because of his handicap. Scott stated, “1 appreciate all the people who have been nice and helped to accept me as a person and a super-freaker!” as Scott calls himself. Julie is also going to major in social work. She has enrolled at Western Michigan University. Like Scott, she chose social work because she wants to help other people. Unlike Scott, Julie composes music and plays the piano. She stated, “The piano has always felt natural to me because it’s very versatile. She began playing at five years of age and started lessons when she was ten. Practice with musical composition was necessary for Senior Julie Melton in spite of the fact that she has been playing piano since she was Jive years old. Julie per ormed a piano recital in the spring. Taking time to socialize in the commons with friends, Scott Jewell sometimes dresses as a rocker. Scott enjoys all types 0 music, but rock is his avorite. Now she goes to Lansing every other week for her lessons. When she plays she begins with braille music. She memorizes the music and then rehearses it. The only music she finds really difficult to memorize is Classical because it involves so many chords. She thinks “it would be easier to learn if she could see it.” Julie also composes semigospel music. She said, “I wrote an anniversary song for my Grandparents and sang it last year. They really liked it.” These two people are truly inspirational for the rest of us. To have far more musical talent than others is a fine tribute to their dedication and character.

Administration Board of Education — 153 Support Staff pecial Personnel Support and service staff efforts help make it all possible to happen. Librarians, Cooks, Bus Drivers, Custodians, and Secretaries, the school would not have been complete without the help and cooperation of these people. Bus Drivers picked students up so that they had a way both to and from GHS. Most of them put up with the normal passing of high school gossip, the loud music, and crowded buses because of the large number of school age teenagers. Miss Weber and Mrs. Adams, the school librarian and aide, were seldom left alone in the peace and quiet of an empty library. Students were always milling in and out asking dozens of questions, selecting books to read for personal enjoyment or book reports, and trying to decide what book really sounded good to read. Then there was always those half a dozen students a day who wondered in “just to talk” or fall asleep on the floor pillows. If GHS would have suddenly lost all of their secre- taries the possibility of much getting accomplished would have been between slim and none. These skilled secretaries organized information to be passed on to students, wrote out passes, and answered all sorts of questions. The Cooks prepared the lunchtime meals so students and teachers wouldn’t go hungry. They served nutritious, well-balanced meals. The Custodians picked up the trash students decided not to throw in the wastebaskets. Custodians mowed the lawn, locked the school doors, and made the school presentable for another day of school. Without these individuals the school would have been disorganized, messy, and with very few students attending. 154 — Support Service Staff Service Staff The athletic trainer, Nancy Doc Bleam. attended all athletic events and dealt with a multitude of players injuries and troubles. The principal’s secretary, Mrs. Corner, took calls for the main office and mastered a new, complex phone system. Vera Bullard and Ann Corner, High School Main Office Secretaries, issue graduation tickets to seniors and parents outside of the school gym. The Counseling Office Secretary, Mrs. Diane Muns, keeps order and schedules appointments in addition to keeping Mr. Nobles and Mr. Petersen in line. Support Service Staff — 155 ; Anew location for Dairy Queen and the creation of Blizzard's made it more convenient for Greenviiie High School students to go there for iunch or on a donut run”. .----------------------------------------- Greenville community backing has become traditional for educational activities and groups from the High School. Growth in the quantity of local businesses contributed to 1985-86 being another strong year for MERCHANTS SUPPORT Greenville’s business community has long been recognized as supportive of Greenville schools and education. In numerous ways they provide direct funding of assorted activities and groups, provide employment for hundreds of students during the school year as well as summers, and provide those products and services that students and others need in daily living. This past year has been no exception. The multitude of community businesses has again met the diverse needs of Greenville High School’s population. They continue to grow and several restaurants, service stores and miscellaneous retail establishments have opened for business in 1985-86. Once again the business community has supported the production of this yearbook with advertising support. That support helps offset the costs of printing many hundred copies of the 1986 Hi-Life. We, and others, extend our appreciation to the very supportive merchants. After all, “Getting There” would not be possible without them. With the trees in full b ooni, downtown Greenville offers a full variety of goods and services to GHS students. hast fond locations in the city provide man v opportunities or employment through co-op jobs. Mike Wood works part time at Little Caesars. Advertising— 157 The Student Center. Going to McDonald’s is almost as much a part of school as going to class.

At first students had to make decisions as to what sort of things they wanted to obtain in High School. Would they become involved with Student Council functions, sports or a member of the Honor Society? No matter what the decision, students had to prepare and train for these commitments. Although some students excelled only in one area, there were the elite who would perfect many areas. Within these accomplishments held the second step. This step forced students to make decisions that would eventually cause positive changes. These changes would be anything from a plaque, certificate or an A on a test. After a great amount of practicing, improving and eventually succeeding, students had now reached their third step. This step allowed them to finally arrive at the peak of their success and to be rewarded of their accomplishments during Honors Week. But even though the series of steps had been completed by the Senior class, it would not be finished. Getting There doesn’t limit itself to a single goal. But will produce many ambitions, dreams and hopefully a lifetime of success that will be passed on to generations of GHS students.
