Students searched for familiar faces on their way to first hour. Summer had brought change to GHS; a new wing had been constructed, the administration had been realigned, the Yellow Jackets had become Class A ranked, and the building recognized the presence of almost 700 new students, fresh to their surroundings. As the year progressed, the potential benefits of becoming Class A became evidence in all respects. There was a new sense of spirit in the air. From day one, GHS vibrated with spirit; athletic events, assemblies, and extra-curricular events heightened the excitement within our walls. Even the traditional events were included in the rebirth of GHS spirit. After an exciting come-from-behind victory against Spring Lake, the crowds swarmed into the Burl Glendening Center at the Middle School for a record setting Homecoming Dance turnout. Freshmen and Sophomores were openly invited by Student Council to attend; a change in tradition. The Jackets excelled in all arenas of the new Seaway Conference; starting early with a surprising show on the football field and continuing on through to a Wrestling Title and a near Basketball Title. The Girls and Boys Cross country teams both had exceptional seasons; both sent athletes to State Competition and the girls brought home a Conference Title. They continued their winning ways on through to the Spring Track season, as records were broken, left and right. It all added up to a very productive rookie season for the Yellow Jackets in the Seaway Conference. 2—Theme Run D.M.C. has nothing on Ihe rapping Irio of Ryan Irish, Joe Loeschner and Chad Thompson.

Many teachers, who had been teaching in the same rooms for as many as eighteen years, such as Mr. Taylor and Mr. Schmachtenberger, moved their residence for the first time. Along with the addition of ten new rooms came the addition of ten new teachers to the GHS staff. Some came up from the Middle School with the freshmen, while others were rookies to the Greenville system. Another change was in Administrators, as Mr. Sandro became Head of Student Activities, as well as Athletics and Mr. Gates took charge of Senior Class attendance and discipline, along with Vocational studies. With the addition of Mr. Curt Cable as instructor of all of GHS’s new Electrical Shop courses came the addition of a new Machine Shop under the direction of Mr. Tichelar. GHS had undergone a great amount of external changes; this change seemed partly responsible for the internal change we also went through. GHS had truly observed a “class act” in the making. The Yellow Jackets were in the big leagues — we were Class A; the building felt the presence of the Freshman class — 300 students; Prom and Homecoming set attendance records — 500 students attended Homecoming and 170 couples attended Prom; an entirely new wing was added — ten new class rooms and a Shop addition; and along with the classes came the teachers — an addition of ten to the teaching staff. The 1987-1988 GHS school year had added up to a “CLASS A ACT”. Theme—5 Loyal fans, Jeff Switzer and Charlie Choi relax on the spectator bus.

But now v A that combination keeps rearranging itself in my head. And was it right left right or left right left? Twelve hundred kids in this school and it seems like they’re all in front of my locker. What a Monday; I mean Wednesday. What a day! Now I’ve got the chance to see all my old friends. Speaking of seeing old faces — just when you thought you’d escaped — the middle school teachers return. Walking briskly through the halls I thought the bell rang three minutes 56, 57, 58 seconds ago. I just step into the room, four minutes. Standing there in anticipation of “Tardy” my ears hear nothing. No bell.. No “tardy”. Checking the clock I proceed to my seat thinking, “Hey, I’m not gonna argue.” Three more run-ins with the same situation and it hits me. Five minute-between-class-jobs. I was sitting in class hearing the 1, 2, 3, fourth reading of the rules and went to grab my pencil to make a note. It was gone! I panicked then collected myself. My pencil was gone but I was O.K. I had my Greenville High School folder. On my way to fifth hour it seemed like those 1,200 kids that were in front of my locker were all going the opposite way I wanted to. I’d like to know how it is managed that a journey from one end of the school to the other is necessary between classes. Bumper-car-like freshmen toss from corner to senior to wall to junior. Entering what seemed like the right room 1 stopped motionless at the door. One-what? ooops. I raised my eyebrows, stood on my tiptoes, and scanned the room as though looking for a friend. I shrugged and walked out. How many more days? Student Life—7 RO YALTY! Formal dances this year were different, but still exciting and fun. As a break in tradition, freshmen were allowed to attend the dances. This game them a sense of responsibility, and made them feel like a part of high school. In past years, because of the separate schools, the freshmen were not allowed to participate in such dances. The addition of people was an addition of fun and variety. Homecoming 87 was a record setting dance; over 300 people attended. The win against Spring Lake left everyone ready to party! Phil Tower and Ski Anderson from WLAV helped the crowd get into the homecoming excitement. Students said it was a very casual, fun, and a well handled dance. It was a total success for student council; they turned a $675 profit — quite an accomplishment. Prom 88 was a very elegant affair held at J.R.’s Roller Castle. With “A Night in Paris” as the theme, all decorations were done with a French twist, the small model of the Eiffel Tower being the main attraction. Prom 88 had a beautiful and fun feeling about it. Students attend- ing said it will become a memory to last forever. After the dance, the annual post-prom “Casino Night was held at the Montcalm County Armory. Many games were played and many prizes were given away. Laura Pentecost was a big winner coming away with a television. Other winners were Jason Nichols, Dave Gowens and many others. It was a perfect ending to a perfect night! 8—Homecoming Prom Ancient Greece is where it’s at, as the seniors portray the battle between G.H.S. and Spring Lake on their float.

Mr. Wilson greets me, goes over a few rules (briefly) and then seats me next to him (on his immediate right) at a rather large table. 8:15 a.m. — Mr. Wilson reads me my official rights. I thank him and insure him we have a “communication”; and that I understand. I even get a 3-minute potty pass (whenever I choose to take it!! Isn’t that incredible! Such liberties I enjoy. 8:21 a.m. — I hear footsteps behind me; too light for Mr. Humble, too hard for Mr. Rubbersoles, I mean, Mr. Wilson. It is, of course, Mr. Gates — Der Kommissar. Checking up on my interests and packing gifts: light green construction paper and some crayons. I must be dreaming! This is much too good to be true! 8:50 a.m. — First hour is over. One hour! I soon will have new surroundings, objectively speaking, as a new batch of eyes will see me in my corner. I did finish one picture. But, sadly enough, there was an accident — my blue crayon tumbled off the corner of my desk and fell, smashing on the ground. 9:17 a.m. — Oh, decisions decisions — should I take my potty break now — or should I wait? What the heck, I’ll be a reckless maniac and go for it now! 9:30 a.m. — Gosh! It was so nice on the outside. I wasn’t sure if I could cope out there anymore but, I felt good. 9:48 a.m. — The bell! Second hour is over! One more to go — and geeze — I missed THg, what a tragedy. BOO HOO. 10:28 — I believe I am down to my last twenty minutes. Twenty more minutes of silence. Twenty more minutes of boredom. Twenty more minutes of my fanny stuck to this chair; cramped, uncomfortable, asleep. (Not me — my fanny). I have counted ceiling tiles, I have drawn with crayons, I have followed cracks in the walls which I directly face. But soon, soon I will be free! I wanna be free — like the bluebird. 10:44 — This ain’t Disney Land. 10:45 — This day will live with me for years to come. I won’t soon forget what happened here today. But until that day, I’ll stop and remember my little corner of the study hall and I might smile. 10:48 — The bells rings — Rodger Dodger waves goodbye and my term has ended. 10—Studying Bill Saunders and Greg To- bey sit back and enjoy the comforts of the library.

But if you dream big, your opportunities will be endless.” So says Paul Pearson, director of human services at Steelcase Inc. in Grand Rapids. Pearson describes success as “an accumulation of a lot of hard work ... (and) comes one step at a time.” One very important step to success is, of course, graduation. On Sunday, June 5th of 1988, Greenville High School graduates 230 students. The 115th event took place in A.F. Allinder gymnasium. Full as family and friends watched their special graduate receive his or her diploma. The female graduates wore silver, while the male graduates wore royal blue. 15 graduated with highest honors, 24 with high honors and 33 with honors. The program began with the playing of Processional by the underclass members of the High School band. Class President Charlie Choi provided a welcome to the ceremony, and Mr. Matchett gave an introduction of the plate- form guests. The address was given by Paul Pearson. Mr. Matchett gave a presentation of the Class of 1988, and the Board of Education presented the diplomas. David Arnsby and Bart Kent gave an excellent performance of “Others May Come” and the program concluded with the Recessional. “Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.” Jeff Mount and Steve Willison reflect Jeff Mount receives a well deserved Todd Cogswell lends a helping on the past four years during Swing- diploma from his father. hand to Charlie Choi as the seniors Out, prepare for The Graduation cere- mony. 1 16—Graduation Mr. Diehl escorts Mrs. Nietzel down Charlie Choi presents an inspiring the run way at Graduation. speech to the Class of 1988. “Others May Come” but the class of 1988 touched G.H.S. in many ways David Arnsbyand Brent Kent sing this movingsong.

High school students, especially athletes end up spending almost more time at school than they do at home, so they have to make themselves as comfortable as possible with their meager accommodations. A green pictures and even mirrors on the locker and a few books. There are lockers’ walls. These students always these students, whose truly deserve some congratulations. Turning something so hideous as a locker into a true work of art. a home. It seems almost impossible. but they do it, year after year, and they're proud of it. In locker’s are so cluttered that you can’t open it without something falling out, but there are many students who take great pride in their lockers by hanging posters, turn, students decorate friends’ lockers for special occasions, like birthdays and holidays. At school, everyone works together to make their life a little easier, and a little less hectic. Making school their home-away from home.

The Seaway Conference includes such school as: Muskegon Hts., Luding-ton, Reeths-Puffer, etc. all of which are very strong in athletics. Greenville faced new challenges, being a class ‘A’ school in a new conference, but despite our obstacles, GHS student athletes went into their sports confidently and performed outstandingly. Chad Thompson gets psyched for the big race as other Jackets prepare themselves.

Fridays for football Third and long... a typical situation on Friday nights for the Greenville Varsity Football team. Although often trailing at the half the Jackets seemed to find a way to come back and win many exciting football games. As coach Mark Swanson put it, “The team always kept the fans on their feet. We were definitely an exciting team to watch.” This year the Jackets had an impressive 7-2 record, remaining undefeated at home. Homecoming was another example of Greenville’s team effort as they overtook the Spring Lake Lakers 34-30. This was a very emotional game for both the football players and the community. Tony Tomlinson commented, “Our offense gave me a chance to live a dream.” “Team spirit was at its highest,” said senior Chris Livasy. This was evident as Greenville held the first snakedance in many years. It was held the night before playing our biggest rival, The Belding Redskins, who fought hard but fell to the Yellow Jackets 16-14. This was due to our dominating Jacket defense who had three fumble recoveries and two pass interceptions. Gene Hahnenberg led the Yellow Jackets in tackles for the year with 46 followed by Sean Mullendore with 41. The Brown to Tomlinson pass connection was a winning combination throughout the season as they both earned United Press International (UPI) All-State honors. Brown made the special mention list while wide receiver Tony Tomlinson made honorable mention. Brown completed 111 of 179 passes for 1168 yards and Tomlinson caught 43 passes for 551 yards. Our leading rusher this year was TV Hallock with 539 yards on 50 carries followed by Daniels with 376 yards on 78 carries. Coach Kent Ingles said, “I thought it was a fun and productive year. We showed the Seaway teams that we could compete with them.” There are high hopes for the 88-89 football season as it will be Greenville’s Seaway Conference debut. Jeff Brown summed up the year by stating, “If I had a chance to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.” Greenville Opponent Score 16 Lakeview 26 Ionia 6 Reeths-Puffer 14 Orchard View 6 Bay City Handy 34 Spring Lake 28 Stephensen 54 Fremont 16 Belding Season Record 7-2 VARSITY FOOTBALL: Front Row— Steve Drake, Chris Zanella, Jeff Mount, Chet Johnston, Alvie Daniels, Jeff Brown, Bill Kenney, Gary Cazier, Chad Thompson, Sean Mullendore, Steve Creasap.

Football—23 Up and down season Not knowing what they were going to be getting into, 75 guys showed up for their football season under the direction of Tim O’Brien, Matt Mahar, Sam Hargrove, and Harold Hargrove. The year started with an impressive 26-12 win over the Reed City Cardinals. One of the major highlights during the season was Alex Kemp’s fine kicking exhibition. Kemp kicked three field goals against Big Rapids from distances of 40, 37, and lastly, 49 yards. The 1987 freshman football team and the coaches feelings were stated best by Coach O’Brien, “I feel the players learn more when they win. When they win they forget their mistakes, when they lose they will work harder and capitalize their mistakes. The goals their coaches hoped to relate to their athletes are best described by Coach O’Brien, “I hope they achieved self-growth and self-discipline through their experiences on the freshman football team. The JV’s felt their season was also beneficial. The JV football team opened the 1987 season with a good win over Lakeview 40-12. Mickey Sage led the offensive attack with 97 yards rushing and 2 TD’s. While on the defensive end Craig Rankine and Chad Harrington led the tacklers with 13 and 10 tackles respectively. The team was up and down during the course of the season going 3-4-1. “It just was difficult putting a good couple wins together. said Coach Nichols. Some of the highlights include Chad Harrington’s team high tackles with 114, and Jim Ebel’s 558 rushing yards to lead the Jackets this season. Also a team highlight was the 34-6 bout over Bat City Handy, which the team enjoyed a 20 point lead at half. As a whole season Coach Nichols said it was a good learning experience for all the young men and they should be ready to step up to play at varsity level, which is the goal of any JV player. 24—Football The J.V. coaching staff led by Coach Shanks and Coach The J.V’s prepare for a com- Mahar, plot the strategy in a petitive season.

Row 2: Tanya Matchett, Kim Petersen, Coach Miss Dixon, Amy Anderson, and Jody Hanlcis Although m ny athletes play in sports that people understand, one sport that is misunderstood by many is cheerleading. The life of a cheerleader ... What does it involve? Most see the sport as just jumping around and acting crazy. It does involve jumping around and acting crazy, but there is much more. While many are enjoying the summer and their new found freedom of the summer, the cheerleaders are up at dawn to practice for the Nation Cheerleaders Association camp and competition. Although the early hours of practice were dreaded, the awards they carried home from camp were quite worth it. Camp began each morning at dawn with “Cheerobics”—aerobics, stretching, and getting warmed up for the hard work of the day ahead. The days were full of learning new cheers, chants, mounts, dance routines. etc., and all the evening were spent performing cheers. As soon as they came home from camp there was no time to rest. A dance routine (performed to the song Kiss” by Prince), cheers, and mounts had to be perfected by all three squads for Meet The Yellow-jackets Night. After Meet The Yellowjackets. the games began. Smiles, popcorn, and yelling filled the stands while the cheerleaders fired up the crowd with their enthusiasm. The games seemed easy compared to all the work they had put in since last fall but they couldn’t rest yet. There was a competition to prepare for. Although they didn’t place, they did well and ended the season on a good note. Finally, time to rest. Not for many—Basketball tryouts were just a week away. As soon as the squad was picked the work began all over again. All the cheers, chants, and mounts that are performed at all the games had to be prepared in one week. The life of a cheerleader? Many would say “What life? Shortly after the season began the basketball cheerleaders prepared for a competition at Rockford Middle School. The cheerleaders made an excellent performance and was awarded fifth place—one squad below being allowed to compete for state. Coming back from the competition. they kept their spirits high throughout the rest of the season. It’s true—the myth of a cheerleader just jumping around and act-ingcrazy is just a myth. Ask a cheerleader what her life is like during her cheerleading season. Hard work with a smile is likely to be her answer. The J.V. and varsity cheerleaders had a very successful 87-88 season! During the summer, they attended an NCA cheerleading camp at St. Mary’s College. The squad received two spirit awards and three excellent evaluation ribbons. On the varsity squad. Melissa King was chosen as a nominee for All-American cheerleader out of 344 cheerleaders attending. The 12 nominees performed a cheer or chant in front of the rest of the camp and a panel of judges. “I was nervous.” said Melissa. “I just kept thinking about how scary it was going to be cheering all by myself in front of the entire camp. During basketball season, both squads attended “Cheer for Charity” — a competition where funds were raised for Mary Free Bed Hospital. The J.V.’s helped raise$700.00. Coach Dewey said. They pulled a very rough edged routine together the morning of the competition. said Dewey, landing a 3rd place spot out of 7 other squads. I was very pleased with their performance. Two varsity cheerleaders were given awards at the competition. Adrane Duncan was awarded a spot on the All Star Squad, which was formed from G.P.A.. extra-curricular activities, and an essay written by each senior on Cheering for Charity” Amy Anderson received an honorable mention.

IV Baseball Softball—49 Jackets hold own for The Jackets varsity soft-ball team stayed just above .500 this year, with many outstanding individual performances by senior MVP winner, Missy Moore. Missy had a tremendous year at bat and on the mound, being among the team leaders in both categories. Team leaders batting included Carla Beilfuss and Shannon Jensen with .423 and .407 respectively. Beil- fuss showed the most improvement on the team as she also captured the best record for On Base Leaders and run producton, she received the most improved award. Pitching was led by Moore with a 6-4 record overall and 2-2 in the Seaway Conference. The leadership on the team was provided by first year coach Laura Olsen. Recognition in the new Seaway Conference went to Shannon Jensen for her work in the infield, and April Harmer was awarded for her work in the outfield. Sophomores Allison Frye and Shannon Jensen, as the rookies on the team moved to the varsity ranks to contribute with the upperclassmen.

Vars. Softball—51 Successful debut The Boys Tennis season started out with a preseason match in an unusual overnight quadrangular tournament at the Ferris State Racquet Club. The team won 2 of the 3 matches. Their debut in the Seaway conference was a successful one, as the netters claimed a 6-1 dual meet victory over Fruitport. The Jackets won 3 of 4 singles matches and swept the doubles. No. 4 Steve Drake won in straight sets — “the best match of the year” said Coach Shanks. Not all of their matches were quite as dynamic, as the Jackets were defeated by the Ludington Orioles 6-1. “Ludington is very strong,” Shanks said. “We played pretty well and just got beat by a better team. Ludington looks like the Seaway conference favorite to me.” Ionia was another defeat — but a close one. Bill Young and the team of Victor Chiodini and DuWayne Platt were able to win for the Jackets. Coach Shanks pointed out that 5 sets had been decided by a seventh game. The Seaway conference has been a difficult one for all sports — not just Boys Tennis. However, the Girls Varsity Golf team fared quite well in their first season of Seaway action. They started off on a good note with a score of 222-234 against Ionia. Seniors Amy Anderson and Tanya Matchett led the way for Greenville with nine-hole rounds of 51 and 52. Sophomores Yvette Fountain and Dianna Habel received scores of 59 and 60. The JV team also won their first game — leading was Jenny Ca verley with a score of 61. The Jackets easily beat Wyoming with a score of 197-215, while the JV team won 235-243. The victory was led by Fountain and Habel who received scores of 46 and 49 respectively. Even in unconditional weather, the girls were able to defeat Ludington with a score of 223-225. Leading scorer was Heather Riehl with an impressive 54. The Jackets took fourth place in the 17 team Kenowa Hills Invitational scoring 412. Fulfilling her goal, Tanya Matchett earned a sixth place medal in the individual standings with rounds of 52 and 53. Fountain and Caverle'y both received totals of 106. Missing state finals by four strokes, Jacket linksters took fourth place in the 19 team Saskatoon Regionals. Fountain had the top score with 2 rounds of 47. The Greenville Jackets ended the season with an average of 262 and were recognized as one of the top 10 teams in the state.

Boys Tennis Girls Golf—53 A Class Act NEW ADDITIONS Academics have always played a large part of our lives here at GHS. With the new freshmen in the high school, the transition came as quite a change to the upperclassmen. “They added a new wing to accomodate the freshmen, then they switched all of the academic departments around, which made me feel like I was in a new school myself,” said junior Melissa King. The freshmen also felt the change. “Classes in high school involve more work at home,” notes Mary Beth Mount. Honors Week made a positive impression on the freshmen. “Getting to be involved in Honors week made us think more seriously about our future years at GHS,” commented Joe Nelson. Despite all the usual stereotypes of freshmen, the class of 91 isn’t all that bad. In fact, GHS is proud to have them as part of our Class A Act.

Academics—55 English expanding The 87 88 school year has brought about many changes, in the G.H.S. English department. The addition of 2 new classes and a new Department head, Mr. John Larsen. Creative Problem Solving, one of the new classes, is a semester long course in which students learn to apply high level thinking to solve current issues. “It’s a lot of work,” says senior Chris Livasy, “but it's worth it!” Communication Skills, the other new class, is also a semester long course in which students examine Test return time in Mr. Schmedickes class is a time when these sophomores found out there is more to high school than they may have realized. Ryan Irish, Heather Riehl, Sylvia Greb, and Todd Snider show how exciting Mr. Cardwell’s Composition classes are. short stories and write fictional narratives. With the addition of over 300 freshman to the high school, class sizes have increased more than most teachers would prefer, but a major study skills unit has been added to English 9 classes and the employability skills unit has been moved to the Social Studies department. Mr. McMahon and Mrs. Ford came over with the Freshmen class. Mrs. Morrow taught English part-time, being shared with the Business Department. 56—English Taking a break from Mrs. Gresses’ creative writing class, Brian McQueen shows the class his unique pencil trick.

Debate, and Acting are among the vast variety of English Department classes in which GHS offers to their students. In these performance classes, under the direction of teacher Miss Lori Ward, the students learn public speaking. With the experience gained through Speech and Acting, students learn to carry themselves well in the eye of the public. “Before I had Speech and Acting, I was ex- in class tremely uncomfortable speaking in front of groups of people.

Performing Arts—. 9 V if Experimental Science There are two branches of the Science department at G.H.S. — one dealing with primarily Biology and the other dealing with Chemistry and Physics. Although most students take Biology, the Chemistry and Physics are designed for upper level math students only. In Chemistry, taught by Mr. DeKuiper, such subjects are studied as Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table. Students with at least a B- or better in Chemistry can enroll in Advanced Chemistry. This class covers first year topics in greater detail, and also hits some new topics such as organic chemistry and electrochemistry. Because of the difficulty of this class, an extra honor point is added in the G.P.A. of students enrolled. Physics, a class taught by Mr. Walthorn, deals with the physical laws of nature. This class usually take a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and possibly others. Advanced Physics is a class which covers advanced topics not covered in the regular Physics class. This class is very difficult and only students currently enrolled in Physics class are admitted. Students in this advanced class are also given an extra honor point. When asked about the most memorable event in the 87-88 school year Chemistry class, he men- tioned three students: Chet Johnston, Andy Daenzer, and Rob Jorden. Apparently these three juniors got carried away with an experiment and decided to give the ceiling tiles in Room 125 a new tinted look. There were no earth-shattering changes in this Science department in 87-88, just a few burnt ceiling tiles!

Chemistry—61 Of Mice and Snakes? Although traditions carry on every year, the science department encounters new and exciting experiences and people! According to science teacher Mr. Nolan, “Biology is a lot more than just teaching, it gives me a chance to be around what I love.” Mr. Gowens, the Human Phys. teacher, also loves his work. His class is very popular amongstudents as stated by Cari Roughley, “Human Phys. is very interesting and fun.” Biology and Advanced Biology are also very popular science classes, of the famous cat dissection, Darcy Schmactenberger said, “The hardest part about the cat dissection was taking off the fur.” True, the cats were fun, but they were not the only attraction of third hour Advanced Biology. Every day, five minutes before the bell, a strange ritual would take place. The entire class would gather in front of the aquarium, and may I remind you that front row seats go quickly, after that people claw and paw their way around fellow students to witness the main aquarium — a poor tiny little mouse being brutally strangled and slowly swallowed by a baby boa constrictor. One brave student would grab the mouse by the tail or squeeze him by the mid- dle and place him in the aquarium. It’s true the snake had never eaten in front of the group. The snake had been nicknamed “Ghandi” for his fasting spells which have lasted up to 4 weeks long. The group, however did not give up hope. By the end of the semester, the class had gone through 4 mice — none were eaten; they died of fear. And yet. after all this, the snake would not eat. its characteristics.

Mr. Schmactenberger likes Mr. Swanson loves to teach to keep his students involved from his desk, and active during class. 64—Social Studies The important past When most of us think of history, dates and facts instantly come to mind. We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union . . . 1941 Japan bombs Pearl Harbor ... Richard Nixon found guilty in Watergate ... Truman defeats Dewey. History, government and geography are more than just teachers stuffing facts in to you day after day. Mr. Schmacten-berger (department head of social science) says the main goal of government is “to understand how we as a society make decisions collectively.” True, the majority of the time we sit silently and listen as our teachers lecture while we take notes but teachers also try to get stu- dents involved by doing projects and having special speakers. In government, students may participate in such things as a mock primary election within the class. Others may make bulletin boards following the democratic or republican caucuses and primaries. Students have listened to special speakers such as Representative Donald Van Syngel and a representative from ITT Technical Inst. Students may also participate in Project Close-Up, a junior trip to Washington D.C. to learn more about our governmental process, see it in action, find out more about current affairs and tour our nations capitol. Former students have come back involved in such governmental jobs as legisla- tive aid to a congressman, friend of the court even a high school history teacher — our very own Mr. O’Brien. Mr. Schmachten- berger sees in the future, possibilities for more social science classes such as anthropology, economics, current events and critical issues. Mr. Schmactenberger Mr. O’Brien helps a student reads an interesting arti- with a difficult problem, cle to his students. Social Science—65 Thin King required STICKLEBACK FISH, GAY RATS. MINORITIES, DEVIANCE, LOVE ... if any of these topics strike you as interesting or unusual you may just belong in Mr. Martin’s Sociology Class. Mr. Martin says his main goal in Sociology is to cause you to think and to better prepare you for college. Mr. Martin’s teaching methods are said to be fun, interesting and unique. That's what makes this class a “look forward to hour. The only part kids don’t seem to enjoy are the tests. He uses a type of testing called multiple multiples to better prepare you for what you should expect in college. Just think of it this way if you don’t know the answer you have a one in ____ chance of guessing it right. Social problems is a class in which you discuss family and personal problems. Mr. Martin states flatly social problems is to “provide a place for people who don’t like school.” Students in Social Problems are assigned to make a one hour report on something educational and present it to the class. Kids have brought in people and things such as tattoo artists, cosmetologists, pets, and all the way to power mowers. Psychology is a course in which you study the human mind and human behavior. Some students take this class for credit but for the most part students see it as a challenging and fun class to prepare them for college. Eleventh and twelfth graders in this course take part in many class and individual projects. One of the projects done by the class is the ever famous blind walk. Students spend the hour blindfolded walking through the halls accidently banging into doors and lockers as their friends keep a close eye on them. Another favorite experiment is the taste test. Students taste things, while blindfolded, such as sugar, coffee, cajun peper and lemon juice and try to identify them. Students have listened to such speakers as Dr. Steele who talked on how he used hypnosis in dentistry and how the hypnosis affected his patients. Another guest they heard was Officer Schnepp who talked on drugs and their effect on the brain. Students are assigned a semester project to explore in depth an area of psychology with an interest. Most students give their report on visiting such places as Forest Grove, Pine Rest, and the Suicide Crisis Center. In the past one brave pupil spent the night in an old abandoned and supposedly haunted house. He kept a journal throughout the evening and recorded every creak and noise. Students are invited to use their creativeness in this experiment. Happy Birthday to .. . Here Mr. Vanhouten choir class sings Happy Birthday to Mr. Martin.

The language of mathematics, never thoroughly understood, but thoroughly essential. As Galileo said, “Numbers are the language with which God wrote the universe.” Like the universe, many aspects of numbers are still mysterious to man. But here in high school a math staff made up of six people, helps to clarify the mysteries of simpler forms of math to some of us aspiring young mathematicians. The staff includes Mrs. Shrader, who is new to the building, Miss Hastings, who is just plain brand new, Mr. Deihl, who will be leaving after this year, Mr. Carlton, who is department head, Mr. Seaver and Mr. Sharrow. When speaking with Mr. Carlton and Mr.Deihl about the math department and just mathematics in general, I assumed they would tell me all the uses and the importance of mathematics, but instead they took a realistic view and said that although they feel math is important and the kids need it, they realize that some students don’t like it and won’t really use math unless planning to go into engineering or some of the sciences. Preparing those who do plan to take up engineering are the math teachers that I mentioned before. This is the staff that teaches the students logic through the manipulation of numbers. For although only people going into the sciences can really use math, all who take it are at least introduced to logic. Mathematics are a way of thinking and according to Kristain Brown, they “expand your mind”. Julie Morin, Mark Atkeson, and Bill McIntyre, agree with this statement. They say that although it is sometimes frustrating, math and especially geometry proofs help in the thinking process. When talking to these math students I was surprised to learn that all of them liked mathematics. I expected them to tell me how confusing it was and how they didn’t see how it could help them later in life. But Julia Morin said math was challenging and especially enjoyed geometry and trigonometry. Kristain Brown and Bill McIntyre agreed with her, emphasizing how math improves your sense of logic. But no matter how much math introduces and improves a practical way of thinking, I still hate vectors in trigonometry and will probably never fully understand. 68—Math Racking his brain for (he an-Mr. Sharrow in 3-D adds a swer, Jeff Mount does some new dimension to geometry. calculations. Lending a helping hand, Mr. Sharrow gives his assistance to a student in need. Math—69 It Computes In our ever changing world, learning how to use a computer is a must. “It was a very challenging class, but I’m glad I learned how to use a computer” says junior Juli Thomas. Greenville High School offers two classes of com- puters, Computers I II. There are nine Tandys several other Apple computers in the classroom for the students use. The schools computers aren’t just in the computer room, there are several others distributed throughout the school too. Those who decided to take computers class had a lot in store for them. Here senior Steve Creasap works on getting his computer program to work. Mr. Carlton runs through a computer program with Glen London. 70—Computers Computers I is an introduction to the computer. Students learn how the computer circuits activate and they do programs on the computer to see how the computer works. Computers II is basically the same but there are a lot more programs to fig- ure out and they are much more advanced. Computers is quite a challenging class. However, after becoming familiar with the computer and it's functions, it can be a lot of fun! Bill MacIntyre runs through a program and handles some business. Adrianne Duncan punches the “return” key to see the results of her program. Lisa MacDonald and Carrie Brancheau find programming a challenge in computers. Computers—71 French food, funds Besides learning the language, learning about the culture and lifestyle is just as important. French teachers, Mrs. Curry and Mrs. Yurick try to stress these other topics throughout the year to make French classes fun and entertaining for each student. French food days with French bread, cheese fondue, and great tasting desserts, are a favorite for most students. There are other things the students enjoy; French movies, plays, and a foreign language day at CMU, held on April 22. Each student was required to attend on foreign language class, then had the rest of the day to walk around campus and meet new people. In order to participate in these activities, the French club raised money at the beginning of the year. Each student sold candy gifts during a two week time. The French club collected nearly $2,000 profit. This year, for the first time, the French classes were able to participate in Intellectics. Forty students attended, and the French 3 4 groups placed first in their section. Each group was required to perform a skit over a chosen topic, which they had 30 minutes to prepare. Gretchen Schmedickie, who was in the winning group, said, “I thought it was a lot of fun. I wasn’t really nervous performing the skit, and I learned a lot more about French.” A final farewell to the school year, is the French club picnic. Started last year, this final activity seems to be a great way to end the year. Miss Adams has a “relaxed” approach to her teaching. One of her favorite exercises is having students act out a skit as the others watch. Miss Adams enjoys teaching French but there's always time to pose for a picture. Reading and understanding is an important part of the French language. Miss Adams discusses the story of Pierre with her 2nd year class. Front Row. M. Johnson. N. Fitte, D. Cummins, K. Brown, H.

Although some activities that were planned did not materialize, the Spanish club participated in some fun and education events. A dinner with the Lowell Spanish club was held at Chi Chi’s Mexican restaurant in Grand Rapids. The members wrote letters to one another during the course of the school year. They discussed classes, friends, and relationships in the Spanish language. Many students formed close friendships. A three hundred dollar scholarship will be awarded to a Spanish 4 senior. The senior will have scored the highest on a national exam concerning the Spanish language. Joanne Kroodsma, Spanish teacher, and head of the foreign language department has been a faculty member for fifteen years. In recent years, she has used a teaching method called T.P.R.”, and requires students to read novels written in Spanish. These techniques of teaching stress the cultural, and well as the grammatical aspects of Spanish. Mrs. Kroodsma strongly believes in teaching the language as something useful. “I try to put terms into a situational context. Because of this, 1 believe the kids get a chance to use the language daily. By putting it in the situational context, the language seems real to the students.” Thirteen graduating seniors will leave the Spanish club this spring. Many underclassmen are enrolled in the Spanish Club. With the outstanding leadership they possess now, the future Spanish Club should be the best ever.

Spanish—75 Art Excites... The main objective of the Art department at Greenville High School is to expose students to Art and help them think creatively. This year, the biggest change in the Art program was the large number of students who enrolled. With the addition of the incoming Freshmen and Sophomores, the Studio Art classes, as well as Art 3 and 4, grew tremendously. The Art Club started the year by electing their officers. They chose as President Jennifer Colby, Wee-President Amy Anderson, Secretary Holly Hicks, and Treasurer Janet Sirrine. Their next task was holding a candle sale to raise funds for activities and Art scholarships. A total of $3,300 dollars was raised and went to help pay for Art Club sweatshirts and the Art Club banquet. The banquet was held on April 16th at the Winter Inn in Greenville. Two awards were given to the most creative Junior and Senior artist. The recipients of those awards were Junior, Adam Miller and Senior, Tony Tomlinson. Many other “mock” awards were also given. The banquet closed with the Senior class history and class prophecy told by Seniors Tony Tomlinson and Jason Nichols. The remaining money was used for scholarships. This year one 100 dollar scholarship and six 300 dollar scholarships were awarded to seven potential college bound Art students. This is the most scholarships ever given by the Art Club. 76—Art Art—77 Family Life Changes... High points such as flour babies, living textbooks and foreign foods week are combined into one department to form the Consumer Home Economics branch of our curriculum. As part of a new state program some alterations have been made to create common rather than individual standards reviews. Also, through this program the school receives more funds. With these funds the department has purchased a V.C.R., television, projector, computer, demonstration table, and other miscellaneous items. New names have been given to several of the departments. The Child Development class is now known as Parenthood and Child Development; Consumer Foods is now Foods and Nutrition. Family Relationships has been changed to Family Living.

Although we will be dropping Personal Living we will gain an additional level to Parenthood and Child Development. As Mr. Gates said.“We’re giving the kids more of what they want, information. This new program has an emphasis on educating students in an attempt to lessen the high rates of single parents; divorce; child, substance and spouse abuse. It leans more toward skills for liv- ing instead of cooking, sewing, and being a good shopper.” There are still questions of what the department should be renamed: Skills for Life, Skills for Living. LivingSkills, Life Management Skills, but that's all right because a label cannot be put on many of the great things in life and for the time being this is just another. 78—Home Economics Mrs. Meyers presides over Family Living class and makes siudents aware of parental responsibilities.

This year’s field directors were (senior) Amy Hornbrook. (junior) Bart Lillie, and (senior) Wendy Wheeler. The band season officially starts with the annual Danish Festival Parade in August. After this the band participates in such things as; Friday night football games, MSU Band Day, Central Montcalm Marching Invitational, Stanton Old Fashion Days Parade, Meet the Yellow Jackets and Belding Labor Day busy year Parade. After the last football game marching season is officially over the band moves into a more somber tone. The band splits into two parts; the concert band and symphonic band. The bands spend many hours preparing for such things as; Christmas concert, solo ensemble festivals, district band festival, Pops Concert, Spring Concert, Baccalaureate and Commencement. Of 122 members there are 23 seniors leaving the band this year. Of these many plan on continuing band in college.

The band takes five during an exciting G.H.S. football game. Mr. Hudson, Director of the band and orchestra, is well-liked by students and staff. Band—81 Great performances! From the “Yabba Dabba Doo” of the Flintstones in marching season, the band moves to a more mellow mode of music in concert season; although it still maintains a little zip of the unique. The Symphonic band, in their final performance, included juggler, Jeff Perry; baton twirlers, Steve Willison and Jeff Switzer; and a choir of gargling clarinets. The concert band included an unusual compostion originating from the Mazama Indian tribe of the Pacific Northwest. In January of the season, many members of both the Symphonic and Concert bands, as well as the Orchestra, attended the District Solo and Ensemble in Muskegon. Approximately 42 students participated in 21 events, basketing 16 first division ratings, which is the top rank, and 5 participants received second division ratings. Those who received top ranks had an opportunity to attend the State competition held at Ferris State College. Taking advantage of this opportunity were Jill Weatherbee, Janelle Wheelock, Michelle Hatch, Becky Jones, Dean Jones, and Amy Combs. Janelle received a 99 for her violin solo, the highest in Greenville history. Also receiving first divisions were Jill Weatherbee for her flute solo, Becky and Dean Jones, for their violin and string bass duet, and Janelle Wheelock with partner Amy Combs, in their violin duet. Michelle Hatch brought home a close division two with only a two point variant. The concert band is composed of 75 members and the Symphonic band holds 44 musicians. “We have a strong string program here,” says Mr. Hud son, consisting of 22 members.” This years student body elected Steve Willison as President of the band. Jeff Switzer was appointed Vice President. While Maris Lothian held the office of Secretary, Rob Johnson performed as Treasurer. The success of this years class has been based on “the combination of leadership in the senior class and the gung ho freshman class,” commented Mr. Hudson. Mr. Hudson helps a student perfect a note during band practice. The orchestra follows Mr. Hudson's direction through a difficult piece of music. 82—Concert Band Concert Band—83 Choirs Soar Being a member of choir really opens new horizons for the students. It gets them out of the classroom to participate in something they truly enjoy and will keep for the rest of their lives. The G.H.S. Singers is a concert choir where they sing a variety of music from pop songs to serious music. The choir program also has the Village Green singers which is a show choir where they sing primarily pop music and add dancing to enhance the songs and shows appearance. This year the choir program added a ninth grade choir (Junior Varsity singers), and is open to all ninth grade students as a beginning choir. Each year the choir performs in a Christmas concert and a spring concert. Mr. Van Houten says, “The choir members become like a family this year and are very close. Mr. Van Houten also states that the result of the spring concert was the best ever. G.H.S. Singers Front Row: Jeri Lake.

Choir—85 PE class added In addition to other department changes and expansions, the Phys Ed department has also added a new class: Strength Con-ditioning and Life Fitness. This differs from the regular Phys Ed class in several ways. The PE class has a broader focus of sports including archery, basketball, football, soccer, table tennis, gymnastics, volleyball and more. The Strength Con-ditioning class focuses on subjects such as nutrition and rest, body prototyping and cardiovascular health. Injury prevention, rehabilitation and stress management are also studied. The regular PE class also offers a sport for those with less athletic ability — bowling. The students walk to Greenville Lanes every Friday and bowl one game. The cost is only $.75 — not bad for a break from books and the building. With the addition of a new class, and more activities, the PE requirement becomes easier to fill each year! 86—Physical Education Sophomore Andy Spohn prepares to lift even more weight in the new weight room. Only yards away from a touchdown the boys PE class makes a call. Weight lifting seems to be easy for Carrie Muste. Physical Education—87 Outdoor classroom In addition to numerous changes in the high school, the Agricultural Department has added a new class, Natural Resources. This is a year long program to explore the natural resources areas. In the fall semester the class invited Brian Johansen, a former student of Mr. Bremmer’s, to speak to the class on bow hunting and techniques. Mr. Johansen also discussed the use of deer scents and deer calls. He gave those in attendance a Agriculture students learn the various things about our environment crucial to the effective production of crops. free sample of Buck Stop and invited the F.F.A. to tour the plant near Entri-cian. At the conclusion of the tour, the F.F.A. members received a Buck Stop hat. The Forestry students had the opportunity to put to use their new safety helmets while they were taught the safe operation of a chain saw. A nearby woodlot provided the students with hands-on experience and a chance to demonstrate their forestry skills. The F.F.A. received a first place plaque in the Forestry Judging Contest, sponsored by the Soil Conservation District in Stanton. The Lancscaping class completed the landing of Moll Park with the help of two seniors, John Ekholm and Tim Purdy, who took charge of the project to make sure the work would be completed by Swingout. The project received cooperation from many people including Mr. Moll, Student Council (which donated funds for the purchase of plants), Mr. McIntyre’s class (which built the bridge), the Crop Soil class (which planted the grass), the maintenance staff, and others who donated plants and time toward the project. The complete project will serve as a place to learn landscaping, plant identification, take a group picture, or just spend a few relaxing minutes. 88—Ag FFA The product of hardwork and Jacket pride, the bridge reflects on the true spirit of G.H.S. Agriculture students experience the fine art of wood cutting as they reflect on what chainsaws mean to them. Student volunteers put their time and effort into the new bridge, a lasting monument for future students to enjoy. Ag FFA—89 Hands on Power Mechanics, Consumers Auto, Sheet Metals, Welding and General Machine Shop are semester to year-long classes in the Industrial Arts Department. Students begin by learning a very specific task, gradually gaining enough information to complete a more difficult task by themselves. Before beginning the hands-on work, students learn theory, technique and safety precaution. The Power Mechanics class deals with small engines, and prepares students for auto mechanics and general maintenance. The Sheet Metal class teaches students about seams, heating, air conditioning ducts, fabrication Rory Parrish puts the finishing touches on his metal shop masterpiece. Brock Magoon works on his metal shop project. learning and foundry. Two-thirds of the semester is spent in the shop and one third on class and book work. Students gain experience with lathes, power saws, hand saws, planers, and assorted hand tools in woods classes. Almost all classes require some project for credit in the class. Students generally begin the program with an introductory class such as Beginning Woods and fulfill requirements until they reach a more challenging course such as Furniture Making. Students with a general background in the industrial arts will be prepared for in-depth training in future years. 90—Industrial Arts Matt Banney does some detailed work in mechanical drawing. Perry Lopes works on his machine shop project. Laura Pentecost concentrates on all the things that go into a successful drawing. Industrial Arts—91 Hands on training Greenville High Schools Vocational Department offers many different classes for students, especially ones that help prepare them for future employment. Vocational Machine Shop and Auto Shop help prepare students for a future as a Mechanic or Machine Shop Engineer. Like many of the Vocational classes offered at Greenville High School, Vocational Machine Shop and Auto Shop requires special permission to get into and have to have high level math classes to enter. At the end of this year, Mr. Blackmer, Vocational Auto Shop teacher, had the pleasure to hand out many Vocational Auto Certificates, indicating how many hours of class instructions they received. Those receiving certificates were: David Clifford, Mark Craig, Gregory Goodwin, Harold Jewell, Charlie Johnson, Christy Maule, Randy McGuire, James Packard, Donald Riker, David Smith, and Anthony Wood. Mr. Tichelaar, the Machine Shop teacher, also had many certificates to hand out to students who had completed a certain amount of hours of class instruction. Those receiving certificates were: Jim Babbitt, Floyd Barber, Doug Delamater, Dave Ebels, John Harris, Mark Heintzelman, Tim Huf-ford, Sheb Jensen, Jeff Kilts, Casey Lake, Perry Lopes, Broc Magoon, Alan Olson, Rod Proctor, Ed Reynolds, Rob Smejkal, Dave Visch, Jeff Webster, and Jody Weger.

Business department provided many opportunities for students to explore the world of business and practically apply the skills they have learned. Accounting, Shorthand, Typing, Typing 2, and Business Law are among the classes offered in G.H.S.’s comprehensive Business program. Distributive Ed. and Vocational Office Practice are excellent ways for students to gain experience in the areas of marketing and general office skills. Students in the Dis. Ed. program are able to earn credit while serving their school in “Supplies ‘R’ Us” and organizing the ale carte line. V.O.P. students, through the Co-op program, are sent to area business to apply their secretarial skills Mr. Humble, coordinator of these programs, hopes to pass along to students employability skills that will make them more marketable on the job market. Students in this program come away from them with a direction in life after high school. Junior, Dorothy Kellogg, feels “The V.O.P. class will benefit my future secretarial career.” With high ambitions and the skills gained through these programs, it all adds up to future success. Senior John Ekholm takes a quick glance at the keyboard before moving on. Senior Steve Creasup practices his typing skills. Business—95 Medical Personnel Have you or someone you know been sick? Well, maybe some of your classmates have taken care of you. Roberta Michael, Greg Deines, Shannon Brown, Linda Daniels, and Billie |o Towne may have had something to do with your care. They are nursing students involved in the Health Careers pro- gram. A toothache might have been helped by Michelle Hardy or Brenda Burns who both worked in area dentist offices. Linda, and Shannon might have taken care of a young sibling, as they also worked at Young World Pre-School. Do the terms ECG, Stress test, Pulmonary Function, and Pulse Oximetry sound foreign to you? These were all in a days work for Michon Wilson who worked in the Respiratory Care Unit at United Memorial Hospital. The terms Upper and Lower GI were familiar for Kirk Maxon and Brian Za- yler who worked in the X-ray department at United Memorial Hospital. If you or someone you know wasn’t sick maybe a family pet was. This is where Todd Bitner may have had a hand in there care as he worked in an area Veterinary Clinic. 1 96—Health Careers Kirk Maxon positions an X- ray machine over a possible fracture, in Health Careers.

Health Careers—97 Varied jobs tackled The 1987-88 Yearbook Staff consisted of twenty-six chosen juniors and seniors who have displayed, in this year’s book, their unique abilities. The staff jumped right into the action with ad sales, picture taking and theme discussion. As things started to move along, there was a Front Row: Tony Tomlinson, Kim Jorgensen, ferry Slocum, Sharon Rigdon.

The editor of the yearbook was Terry Slocum who helped supervise over the staff and make sure things got done. Mr. Johnson, a student teacher from Central Michigan University devoted a lot of his time to help the yearbook staff. The 1987-88 yearbook staff put in many hours making their yearbook. The theme “It all adds up to a class A act”, was very original and went well with the changes GHS was involved in throughout the school year. The biggest change being our freshman class moving back to the high school, which then put us in our first year of competition in class A. As many of the yearbook students are planned to return to the staff for the 88-89 book, they hope to continue to use their gained experience. 98—Yearbook Photographer Tony Tomlinson Yearbook staff member, Terry captures the images of G.H.S.

Vice-mayor, Steve Drake, took on more responsibility by stepping up as the acting mayor. Mr. Sandro took control and brought good ideas to the council, especially since it was his first year as the advisor. Because of the added freshmen class this year, the profits made within the student council rose sky high. Activities that took place ranged from skits, to blood drives to volleyball tournaments. Student participation was greatly increased this year. Large numbers showed up for all dances and there were a lot of them! Homecoming proved to be much more exciting when including all four classes. The goal for the blood drive this year was 60 pints. That goal was reached and then some. Some of the student council representatives participated in a Student Council exchange day with Central Montcalm. Many ideas were exchanged and many friends made. Imaginations were a large part of the Council. “How the Grinch Stole Junior Class Officers: President; Bob Adams, Student Council Officers: Front Roiv: Treasurer; Vice President; Bob Solomon, Sec-Treas; Joel Christensen, Vice-Mayor; Steve Drake, Erlinda Hogan Chief Justice; Jeff Mount, Mayor; Rob Christainsen.

When asking the freshmen senators on how they felt the council was run, many said, “so organized, nothing at all like the Middle School. It’s alot of fun to get involved.” Acting vicemayor, Steve Drake, said that he hopes next year’s Student Council can get the people involved even more. Student Council—101 Assisting others The leadership was abundant during the 87-88 school year. The varsity club took an active part in extracurricular activities this year. Many members aided in the Special Olympics and learned a great deal. The Cedar Point trip was also successful. Four girls attended the Girls State while nine boys attended Boys State. Officers for the 87-88 Honor Society were: Dave Gowans, president; Alvie Daniels, vice-president; Amy Laurent, secretary; Steve Drake, treasurer; Robin Fountain, reporter; Steve Willison, parliamentarian, and on May 23, 1988, forty-five new initiates were introduced to the Honor Society by a formal candlelight ceremony. Janet Ralph was the guest speaker. Another outstanding achievement which shows leadership is perfect attendance during all four years of high school. Six graduates attained this. They were; Darrell Bromley, Charlie Choi, Alicia Kivela, Chris Ross- man, Jeff Switzer and Steve Willison. Project Outreach certificates went to Jennifer Colby for chairperson and Maris Lothian for cochairperson. The student council Clark Oliver Leadership Award went to Janet Sir-rine and Rotary Camp Emery Leadership Scholarships was awarded to Jeff Mount.

This involved a week long activity. 70 showed the school spirit. Tuesday was purple and gold day which the Varsity Club initiates wore anything purple and gold imaginable, although the school code of dress was to be kept 1st priority. On Wednesday was crazy hat day and they were crazy, and Friday the initiates carried their sport symbol. During this week, in order to get to know each other the members filled out a clue sheet, which was a list of nickname slogans and were to be matched up to the appropriate name and the members also interviewed the initiates. They also carried signs made by present members of the Varsity Club. Wednesday evening a scavenger hunt was held throughout Greenville and they were given clues to find the items. On Sunday, October 29 an initiate breakfast was held in the Greenville High School cafeteria and it was cooked by the coaching staff. Both the members and the new initiates took part in this. Coach Chambers stated, “This was a good year for the sports academics and I look forward to next year’s Varsity Club initiates.” Overall this year did prove to be successful at leading a class A school.

The teachers, the freshmen and the class ‘A’ rating are all a part of the “class A act addition.” One of the obvious reasons for choosing the theme, “It all adds up to a class A act,” is that this year Greenville Senior High School became class ‘A’. The total number of students here on the “fourth Friday” headcount was 1,113 which is actually down from last year, but the state decides where the cut off will be for each of the four classes in order to keep an equal number of class ‘A’ schools, class ‘B’ schools, etc. So this year the cut off point was 1,094 for class ‘A’ and Greenville finally slipped out of the ranks of class ‘B’. Album Divider — 107 Freshmen Kicker has goals Like father, like son is what a lot of people think when they talk to Alex Kemp. Alex, a freshman football player who kicks, punts, and also plays the position of quarterback and linebacker has the dream of going farther than his father, Stan Kemp. Mr. Kemp played football at the University of Michigan as a tight end and a punter, and then went on to the Green Bay Packers and played there for four weeks. “Dad said he was jealous because he wasn’t as good as I am now at GHS,” Alex says. Alex proved himself when the broke Greenville High School records by kicking 37, 40, and 49 yard field goals for a 30-0 win against Big Rapids, on October 15, 1987. His face lights up and all his muscles seem to tense when he comments on those field goals, “It was the greatest feeling in the world, and I’m glad it was me.” Alex has the determination to set his goal high now. In the future, he’d like to break his record, graduate, and play football at the University of Michigan. After that, he’d like to play for the Miami Dolphins, and then study to be a mortician. Seri- ous business for a freshman, but Alex has a light hearted side about him. Alex said, “I think sports should come before academics”, with a sly smile and then whispers, “Just kidding!. I don’t want Coach Engel to see that.” Alex Kemp 9, doesn’t need to follow in his father’s footsteps. He has a lifetime of footsteps of his own to follow.

They’ve invaded our classroom, our commons, and our lives in general. They’ve “added a spark that we all need, said Mr. Nobles. The freshman class has arrived, bringing with them Mr. McMahon, Mr. Fox, Mrs. Morrow,, Mrs. Ford. Mrs. Shrader, and Mrs. Yurick. The addition of students required hiring new math- ematics teachers, Mrs. Hastings, and Mr. O’Brien, our new Social Science teacher. We gained another counselor, Cheryl Stafford. Mrs. Wilkes became full time secretary. Mr. Sandro became Athletic Director, Mr. Gates took over attendance and discipline for Seniors and Mr. Heines added the freshmen to his attendance and discipline duties. The freshmen class seems to like the open campus and the different people the most. The dress code is apparently the most common dislikes. The Seniors, as well as members of the other grades, don’t care for the crowded halls. But as Michel Keckler said. “The freshmen have gained by being in the high school.” Jeff Perry said, “They grow up quicker and find their independence.” In the long-run when they’re Seniors they will be stronger with a four year background in high school. This also applies to the Seniors and provides an opportunity to be models. As Mr. Nobles said, “It doubles the maturing process.” This has been a learning experience for all, giving a new facet to the entire school. This change has brought us up to a class A school, as Chris Gulembo said, “That’s exciting.” Darla Lovell Billie fo Lowery Jim Lowery Patti Lucier Ann Lyons Cory Madison Heather Main Sara Marsh Mark Mathews Mark McComb Christy McKnoght Angela McMiliian Jodi McKees Mike Merren Traci Merren Chad Merrit Laura Merritt Lynn Mier Kathleen Morris Melanie Mortensen Marybeth Mount fCarrie Muste Jenny Kelson Joe Kelson Ron Neuman Chris Nielsen Rafael Nieto Missy Noonan James Kowitzke Ryan Olsen Corinna Osier Michele Outman Freshmen—111 ohn Overnsey Tonda Palmer Vince Palmer Alan Parris John Pentacost Tom Pentoney Carol Perry Kim Perry Brian Petersen Mike Petersen Paul Petersen Holly Phenix Joseph Phenix Carma Phillips Jason Plavter Maureen Pomeroy Scott Popma Dennis Powell Dion Powers Sonya Pretzel Christine Ramirez Sonja Reyburn Tammy Richards Ryan Rickabaugh Jerry Ricks Marvin Riedel August Riehl Tim Riste Brian Rood Kimberly Ross Scott Ross Jamie Roy Sara Rule Christina Sanchez Chris Satterlee Carry Schutfe Joe Schulte Aaron Seelhoff Ruby Schutter Esther Servin Tony Shaffer Laura Shattuck Tondra Shong Troy Simmons Lori Skiver Belinda Slock Scott Slocum Ricky Sly Corey Smith Kelly Smith Michael Smith Jason Snider Alumn Snook Bridget Sova Josh Sowerby Dan Sprague Matt Spry Eric Swank Amy Swartz Jason Swartz Jerry Syrek Jeff Thompson Andy Thorland Karen Tiffany Sophomores 112—Sophomores Overnsey — Young Scout earns honors Scott Popma, a freshman at GHS, received a special honor this February when he became one of the few scouts to receive an Eagle Badge. Scott has been a scout since he was eleven and has enjoyed it right from the start. His favorite part, he remembers, was when they would go on camping trips. After Scott completed his early ranks of scout, he was able to start earning merit badges, an award received for learning about a particular topic. Twenty-one badges are required to receive an Eagle Badge. Scott said that learning these skills allowed him to explore many differ- ent areas. Leadership is also a requirement for earning an Eagle Badge. Scott started by leading a small group of boys, teaching them some basic skills. Scott said that sometimes his group was a little hard to handle, but he had fun. To finish his require- ments, Scott planned a project to benefit his community. During the Danish Festival, Scott ran a booksale to benefit the Greenville Public Library. Scott has work very hard for his badge, and is very proud of it.

Each GHS student has the chance to purchase a ring which symbolizes their high school years. Although rings are normally purchased during a student’s sophomore year, many schools, including Greenville, are now letting freshmen purchase rings. This way the student can enjoy them for an extra year. Everybody can purchase a class ring. The ring is drawn to all different crowds. Jocks, intellectuals, geeks, and others are all consum- ers. The tradition of the high school class ring has survived, even with the many changes in society. The majority of teenagers probably still do not buy them, but the business is doing quite well without them. Greenville’s main distributor for class rings is Jostens. They carry 38 symbols for mascots, 45 emblems to show what activities the student has participated in, and hundreds of different styles. The emblems that show activities are many. If a student was in sports, music, art, or any other hobby, there is a symbol to show. If a student was not involved in any activities, there is a symbol for school memories. Many people like to per- class sonalize their rings by getting their birthstone placed in the center. Others spend money by getting diamonds, or gold to create a unique, different style. Tony Tomlinson has a gold inlayed G placed in the center of a purple stone. This style shows school spirit and is very attractive looking. Shannon Quist bought a prettier type of ring, which is an emerald in the middle of two diamonds. Not only is it just a class ring, but it is a beautiful ring which she can wear for years. Class rings do not have to be thrown into the drawer as soon as graduation is over. Some of the rings are kept as reminders, and some are extremely nice pieces of jewelry. Many people, like Tony and Shannon, like to spend the extra money to have an extra special class ring. But not everyone wants to spend a million dollars. For those, there are inexpensive rings that are just as nice. It is the student’s choice. When, where, and what kind of a ring is completely up to them. If a student is going to buy one at all, it is up to them. The class ring is a reminder of high school years, and a piece of jewelry that is as unique as each student. Today, class rings are still bought and still worn. The tradition has not died. Manufacturers are still selling, students are still buying, and young lovers are still exchanging class rings.

Driver’s Ed. How I remember the glory of those days, the joy of nearly hitting a police officer, the thrill of taking a corner at forty miles per hour, the excitement of crossing the center line at least twice in the space of three seconds. Yes, those were the days. Remembering all those stimulating feelings, I decided to ask some sophomores whether or not they exper- ienced those same emotions, and remembered those fun-filled days as vividly as I did. Meredith Hattenbach seemed to recall Driver’s Ed. with about as much joy as a nightmare. She remembered most clearly her partner pulling out in front of a semi and nearly killing them all. If you have ever been through Driver’s Ed., you know this is not an exaggeration. Driver’s Ed. is really very scary, which prompted me to wonder why any teacher would give up his or her summers to drive with a bunch of inexperienced teenagers. I’m sure that doing something like this must increase one’s chances of getting an ulcer. But Mr. Diehl gave me a few good reasons for teaching “Lunatics Anonymous”. He said that first of all he believes in what he’s doing. He feels that kids should know a little bit about driving before they get their licenses, even though he thinks that in general, kids who pass Driver’s Ed. aren’t really ready to drive. And second he said that it was “financially rewarding”. (A-ha. We knew there had to be a good reason behind all this!) Most of the sophomores who took Driver’s Ed. agree that it wasn’t really that hard to pass the classroom part, because it was mostly common sense But Greg Gerdes said he was a little scared of the range because Mr. Smith (a teacher from Rockford) lied and told the kids they’d have to do a reverse figure eight. Overall, Greg found the class fairly easy, but he said he disliked the filmstrips on drunk driving because he couldn’t figure out whic’ body parts went whe i when they showed the .c-tims of drunk driving, reg also said that althou' . the films were bad the p' .ce officer who presented it, was morbid. 116—Sophomores Becky Jones Christine Junglas Diana Kemmis Monique Kenny Bart Kent Amy Korson Kim Kraai Jared Krick Pamela Kropewnicki Steve Kuhn Jeri Lake Pat Lake John Lake Brent Laux Missy Lee Troy Lincoln Brad London Vicki Long Gavin Loper Kara Loveless Tonya Lovell Jennifer Lucier Andrea Lutkus Mike MacDonald Janet Makowski Slater Martin Lee McCormick Rachel McDaniel Jenny McKinnon Mike McKinnon Pete Merren Jim Middling Lisa Miles Heidi Moore TVaci Morey Bryan Morris Amy Muniz Chad Naimo Quentin Nelson Greg Neilson Justin Neilson Jennifer Newland Jack Nicholson Holly Nobles Todd Norman TYoy Ottobre Angela Packard Rory Parrish Shawn Parrish Pam Pennell Maggie Perkins Debbie Perry David Peterson Jenny Peterson Joy Peterson Nick Pinckney Danae Pitcher Douglas Ploughman Kathy Pollock Betsey Proctor Craig Runkine Leslie Rasmussen Lenon Raymond Nycki Rector Sophomores—117 Chad Rentsman Maricela Revers Kathy Rick Tara Rickie Nick Ridgell Teresa Riker Nick Riley Kari Rinkenvic Tonja Rittenberry Tim Ritter Katie Rittersdorf Bernadette Roberts Tim Rogers Rochelle Rossman Donna Rule Mickey Sage Garbino Sanchek.

In today’s fast-paced world it’s uncommon for the average family to have over two or three children. And, often, when we encounter a family with a greater numerical value we give them the simple label “insane”. But to some of us who endure the trials and enjoy the fun of a large family, it seems normal and natural. A person who grows up in a large family has a higher tolerance level of the strange, and often tends to be a little on the eccentric side. Dean Jones, who shares a house with three of his own siblings and three adopted children, says that basically he likes living in a large family except that sometimes he feels “lost in the crowd”. Being number three in a family of nine children, 1 often wish I had the courage to sell half of my siblings into slavery. Wayne Krick says that he just doesn’t like the noise that five brothers and sisters create. There are other disadvantages to large families besides the noise and being lost in the crowd. For instance, one has to put up with all the big family jokes, like “What do you guys do for dinner — eat in shifts? Haw Haw Haw!” The arguments that ensue in many normal family are magnified in a large family to what could become a full-scale war, all of its internal conflicts included. “Share” is the first word one learns. (And the first word one tries to ignore!) One must learn early, at least by the age of two, that if someone says “share”, the answer is “No, mine! One has to be assertive otherwise one finds himself with few possessions. But, despite all the inconveniences of large families, there are many positive things to be said about being a member of a king- size family. As Dean says, “There always seems to be enough love to go around and I always feel needed.” Just as arguments are magnified, so also are the good times. To maintain one’s sanity in a big family, one definitely has to have a good sense of humor. When asked if we would rather be an only child. Dean, Wayne, and I all agreed, we wouldn’t want to give up the excitement and abundance of love that a large family has to offer. Besides, who needs to have privacy and be the center of attention all the time?!

Being aware is what helped David Hurst, a junior at GHS, save a mans life this February. His neighbor, Harold Sheldon, was ice fishing when he fell into the lake near David’s house. David said he was getting ready to go to school when he heard a man crying for help. “I thought I heard screaming coming from the lake. I couldn’t see anyone, but I knew where he was. The first thing that came into my mind was to notify someone. So, I called my neighbor, Paul Wilkes.” David and Paul, husband of high school secretary Bev Wilkes, tried for nearly an hour to save Mr. Sheldon. They threw out rope and a board for him to keep himself out of the water. After a little bit, another neighbor showed up with a ladder. He and Mr. Wilkes went out onto the lake to try to get Mr. Sheldon, resulting in them both falling into the lake. “After the other two fell in, I got kinda scared! I threw boards out to the two of them so they could pull themselves out of the water.” Soon after, The Harvard Fire Dept, rescue squad arrived to complete the rescue. “1 was a little scared. These things don’t usually happen everyday. I wasn’t really sure of what to do. The fire dept, did most of the work.” David represents a true hero, someone that GHS can really be proud of.

She received the honor of going to Spain to play in the Blue Lake International Orchestra. Janelle was one of many kids to leave for Europe. All of the kids were anxious to be in a different country for four weeks. Though many people might be scared of staying in a huge, unknown place, Janelle was not. She was excited to learn about the country and experience the culture. Playing in the Blue Lake International Orchestra was difficult, but fun for Janelle. She felt competition, but said it was equal. Most of the kids from both Europe and America were not extremely competitive, but were all dedicated. Janelle felt secure with the orchestra together. The difference in countries was not felt over the sound of their music together. The language difference was not a problem either. Janelle said there were so many people that knew both languages, that communication was never a problem. When alone, Janelle had fun practicing her Spanish on the people in the city. Whenever they did not understand, she used gestures to get her point across. Janelle felt overwhelmed by the huge buildings that towered over the cities. Each building was unique and beautiful. Janelle said the culture was evident 'n everything around her. The food was fantastic, the cars were all compact, and there were fewer vehicles on the streets. She noticed many of the people were on bikes. Because of the obvious differences in countries, Janelle really appreciated the culture of Spain. She also appreciated seeing the city where she was born, and had lived in. Janelle felt the only bad part of the trip was the 16-hour bus trips to and from Austria. It was really exhausting for her and the rest of the orchestra. However, after reaching their destination, most of the time getting there was forgotten. Janelle feels she has learned much from the experience. She has learned how to deal with people, and also how to be a grateful, well-manned guest. But her biggest accomplishment of the summer, was the musical experience she obtained. That alone, was worth all the bus trips.

It’s the name game! The song above is a name game played with names to make them sound unique or humorous. But some names ire unique in themselves. For instance, creativity uns rampart in the names of some GHS students, like freshman Shea Kelleim. “I got my name from my dad, when he was in the Navy. His ship adopted a little girl named Shea. He must have liked that name because he named me after that little girl.” Another freshman, Raette Bergeron said “When my mom and dad were going out, they went to a drive-in movie, ‘Five Easy Pieces’ starring Jack Nicholson. One of the main characters name was Raette. My mom really liked it, so she named me after the movie character.” Fritz Ward, a sophomore, said, “My grandmother’s maiden name was Fritz, and since there was no one to carry on that name, my mom used it as a first name for me.” Ninth grader Dion Powers explains, “I’m named after a Saint of Ireland, Saint Dionasists.” Junior Deeter Sloan states, “My mother found my name at the end of an ole Finish movie. Dieters was a last name, but she wanted it to sound more like Deeter, so she changed the spelling.” Sophomore Shawnerie Halloway said “My father thought I was a delicate baby. Shawnerie means a baby fawn with spots in Irish, so I was named after that.” Junior Prisciliano (Pressy) Bengino Nieto, mentioned in the beginning, said, “Pressy is a short form of my first name, which is Spanish. It also has something to do with the stars.” All in all, it doesn’t seem to matter if you’re a Jeff, Pressy, Ron, Shea, Amy, or any other name. Every name is special, one way or another.

Not all the alumni stay close to home. Many move on to bigger towns and bigger jobs. Here are just a few of our alumni who have spread their wings. Lynne Kalbfleisch, Class of 71, has had a very “productive” success since her high school years. She is currently a T.V. Production Coordinator in Los Angeles and is working for Paramont Studios. After high school, she attended MSU and graduated as a music major. Lynne then attend- ed UCLA to take a production course. Her jobs include the mini-series “Call to Glory,” and working on the set of McGuyver for 2 years before it was moved to Canada. She also worked on a 1988 movie shown on T.V.; “Side by Side” featuring Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, and Danny Thomas. James Blinn, valedictorian of the Class of 1966, is not just shown in his yearbooks. He has also been featured in many magazines such as Smithsonian and Discovery. After graduating from GHS, Jim attended the University of Michigan, taking a double major of physics and “communications science” which was later applied to the study of computers. Computer departments were not developed in the 60’s. He then went to the University of Utah to learn his PhD. He presently works at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the nations premier center for space science. He has been described as one of the world’s brilliant computer graphic experts and has been quoted as “the best computer animator in the world.” Jim has done a video-taped fresh- man physics course, called “Mechanical Universe produced at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. It is shown all over the country. He now is in the process of making a program to explain the mysteries of mathematics called “Mathematica”. Jim spends many many long nights and early mornings on much of his work. Occasionally, he will come home to play his trombone with the Danish Festival Band in the Danish Festival Parade. How's that for loyalty? (continued on Page 129.)

Peter Blinn, Class of 1972, is also heavy into the computer field as is his brother jim. Peter is currently working in Hollywood as a Special Effects Technical Director. You can see his works in the special effects of “Tron,” and “Rainbow Wars”; two short films shown only at Expo 86’ in Vancouver. Both are a combination of computer graphics and photo. He has also worked on main line Bell Telephone commercials. Both Jim and Peter are sons to former Art teachers, Tom and Margarie Blinn who are now retired. One of our most widely known alumni is Fred Mei-jer, Class of 1937. The Meijer store chain is known all around Michigan and is now being expanded into Ohio. Occasionally, when you walk through Meijer, you may get a glance at Mr. Meijer checking on his very first Meijer store. Commercials and Safety Tip video tapes are soon to be shot at Meijer 1. He also has not forgotten his home town. Chris Cook, Class of 1978, went west to find his future. He studied theatre and film making at UCLA. He also was an assistant for noted Hollywood Producer-Director, Norman Jewison. Chris helped with the production of the March 1988 movie “Moonstruck” starring Cher. Stan Kemp, Class of 1963, has stayed home and made his future right here in Greenville. Stan presently owns Kemp Insurance and on the “sidelines” you can see him on TV officiating NFL Football games.

Shane Mahan, Class of 1981, has had a very large success since he moved to California when he was 18. During his senior year at GHS, Shane produced, directed, and did all the makeup on the theatre version of Dracula. After high school, he took a four month venture to the deserts of California for a series of labs with a makeup academy. Before he even graduated from there, he was asked to do the makeup for “Friday the 13th Part III . Shane helped in the performance of “Starman” by transforming an alien baby to a full grown man. He also worked on the movie “Terminator” which required afternoons and coffee breaks with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He did the makeup on the eye surgery and arm surgery that Arnold performed on himself in the movie. Shane also maneuvered the robot when it was shown from the waist up. The robot was harnessed on Shane's back. He also worked on the movie “Aliens” in which he made the She-Monster. His other works include makeup in the movie “Monster Squad”, and “Predator . Shane has just finished the movie “Outer-heat” which should hit the theaters soon. Shane left for Paris in April for 6 months to work a movie that involves a sea monster. He works for a man named Stan Winston who has a crew that works on the makeup of many movies. Shane has been featured in magazines Time and People, as well as our own Daily News. There has even been an article done on Shane in a Florida newspaper. All that success at age 25 is overwhelming. Those GHS Alumni are just a small number of people who have gone out and have really made a remarkable name for themselves. If you tend to ask yourself‘What can Greenville do for me?’, look at what it has done for these people.

College selection plays a primary role in a great number of seniors’ lives, as preparation for the rest of your life begins. It all starts after those dreaded ACT scores return, good or bad the mail starts pounding in; drowning you in a pool of invitations, congratulations. and general literature about “The Perfect School!”. Come October there is a temporary lull in postal action, most schools wait to see if you applied before they send more material, others maintain the barrage. Says senior, Cari Roughley, “It’s so monotonous!” says senior Jeff Mount, “It seems like you answer the same question over and over.” The time known by some simply as “The Waiting follows, you’ve applied, you’re anxious, you wait. It takes forever for the one you really want to show, the other so-so schools react immediately. (Actually there is a subconscious tendency to be more desirous of what you don’t have; hence, you go crazy until it shows—some schools driving you mad until mid-March.) “It’s really very time consuming,” noted senior Cari Roughley, “but it’s all worth it, I guess; at least I got my Social Security memorized!” Up to this point, you really haven’t made much of a decision; you’ve just toyed with the idea— or possibly you’ve known all along, as did Jeff Mount. “It was the final decisions that were the worst; narrowing it down and then selecting.” But either way, the time has come to finalize—to send in your registration fee and apply for housing. Now you wait again; not for mail... but for May. Seniors—133 Seniors Eddie Reynolds Kim Richards Heather Riehl Sharon Rigdon Donald Riker I Breaking away Suntan lotion, beach towel, bathing suit, tan lines, ski wax, hot chocolate, zinc oxide, new friends .. . Spring break! GHS students attended school in September with anticipation of spring break. Thoughts of spring stirred in the minds of students, and a weekly countdown of “Mondays until break” was posted in the commons. Many students know where they want to go long before break begins. The sun spots are most popular in Florida, Arizona, or California. Although, some students prefer the snow havens in states like Colorado and Wyoming. Spring break is a time to forget about problems, relax, and have fun. For those lucky enough to travel over break there are certain steps on preparing for the “trip to Florida , or wherever people go. 1. Getting parental permission—The vacation will take place over the spring break week. Always try to stretch the vacations a little by making it into a one and a half to two week frolic. 2. Tanning sessions— There is no way a person going to Florida will feel comfortable lying on the beach looking like they have been dead for months. Many spring breakers go to tanning salons before going to the beaches. Be sure to lie in the correct position to avoid “the fake white underarms.” 3. Packing—No matter how determined a person is to pack lightly it always seems that are leaving forever. They probably won’t wear half of what is packed. 4. Eating—Bring tons of food. No matter if it is a long or short route to a destination. Try to steal extra packets of almonds if you fly, or stock up on candy bars if you drive. So, here are some hints for making your spring break lengthy and enjoyable! 134—Seniors Patrick Riste Edna Roberts Pamela Robinson Christine Rossman Cari Roughley Eugene Ruiz liana Rush Angela Sansom Angela Satterlee Suanne Scheid Darcy Schmachtenberger Jeffrey Seaver Gena Shinabarger Carrie Shindor Janet Sirrine Jeffery Sisson Terry Slocum Robert Sloop Robbie Smej'kai Tony Smith Todd Snider Lee Sowers Kurt Spach Dawn Spencer John Springsteen Seniors—135 Ronald Stephens Michele Stonehouse Etsuo Suzuki Belinda Swartz Jeffrey Switzer William Taft Martin Taylor Lisa Thomas Timothy Tobey Tony Tomlinson Jack Tompkins Heather Tower Aimee Travis Angela Travis Peter TUrley Suzanne Van Horn Tammy Vansconis Eric Van Zegeren David Visch Hally Wagner Donald Watts Jeffrey Webster Jody Weger Lisa Wells Cynthia Wheeler Seniors 136—Seniors Stephens — Ziems Seniors Not Pictured: Shane BaJahoski Lee Baldwin Floyd Barber MaIJissa Menadick Daniel Borowka David Ebels Todd Edwards Robert Graves Christopher Hume Sheb Jensen Bernard Marvin Randy Me Guire Tim Purdy Tina Rector David Smith Paula Ward Go forward seniors GO FORWARD.

Your presence throughout these difficult days was an affirmation of your goodness and strength. You gathered, you prayed, you embraced, and you wept. You clutched flowers and balloons, and when it was time, you let go. You were not ready for Brian to leave you. Senior year is a time to laugh, to dance, to celebrate. We are told there is a time for every purpose. Perhaps it was time for Brian to leave a gift for you. A message, I believe you are already hearing it. Be strong, seniors. Hold fast to your faith and to your friendships. Be wise. Make your choice carefully as you continue this busy year. Re- member how precious and how fragile life is. You have suffered a great loss, as we all have. But you have grown. Don’t let Brian’s gift, his message, be wasted. Learn from it. Go forward, seniors, be happy and be safe.

Mr. Diehl has been among the faculty for 37 years, while Mr. Gowans has a total of 23 years at G.H.S. Although most students see Mr. Gowans only in the classroom, students a few years ago had the opportunity to have Mr. Gowans as a golf coach. However, even outside the classroom, a teacher’s job isn't all fun and games! In 1970, the golf team made it to the state finals and earned second place there, missing first place by only one stroke. The disappointment and frustration felt by the golfers made it a long ride home. A far more devastating incident touched the careers of both men—Brian Dibble’s death. Although both felt grief for the loss, it was more personal for Mr. Diehl since Brian was one of his students at the time. Not only did Mr. Diehl have to deal with his own personal loss, but also the loss felt by every student in the senior math class. Mr. Diehl commented that it was a very difficult situation he wished had never occurred. (Continued on page 141.) Although all of his 37 years in teaching have usually been spent in the front of the room, Mr. Diehl watches as one of his students does u problem on the board. Faculty.

Mr. Diehl had a particularly embarrassing, but humorous day last year. Apparently, a teacher from Fremont was visiting Mr. Diehl’s classroom to pick up some “tips on teaching. The classes went well until 4th hour. He and his visitor left early for lunch to avoid the line. When they returned, they discovered that two students had been throwing things back and forth at each other and one picked up a chalkboard eraser, hit the window smashing it. Knowledgeable and well-read are characteristics of Mr. Gowans. He fills some spare moments of his planning period reading an “American Heritage” article. After so many years of school, Mr. Gowans and Mr. Diehl have many more interesting tales to tell and though their feelings on leaving are mixed, Mr. Diehl said he “feels strongly that the time has come to part.” Parting words from Mr. Gowans, “We have an excellent school, the reason it is (so excellent) is because both the faculty and students work hard, and it can continue to get better.” Mr. Diehl said simply, “Good luck!” Faculty Staff Not Pictured: Mr. Duane Cardwell Mr. Roger Christensen Miss Judith Hamilton Mr. Todd Johnston Mr. John Nolan Mrs. Nina Ohman Mr. Jeff Scott Mrs. Patsy Spry Miss Cheryl Stafford Ms. Debra Stephens Mrs. Jean Tefft Mrs. Kary Wells Mrs. Bev Wilkes Mr. Roger Wilson Ms. Sharon Voung Faculty.

Steve’s responsibilities included acting as relay between the Board and the student body, speaking on behalf of the Student Council, and reporting to the Board on the activities of the Stu- Mr. Sandro, head of Ihe G.H.S. chapter of Hazelton Cork, has a Jaugh with other staff members.

It was a very interesting way to learn about Parliamentary Procedure and how it is applied in leadership roles,” said Drake, “Watching the upper most administrative branch work was very exciting; I learned a lot but had a good time also.” Steve served as a non-vo-ting member on the Board, whose main objective was to present a student’s point of view to the Board of Education. Steve attended all of the regular meetings and the District meeting at the end of the year. He was included in a rather large group of newcomers, as this year’s Board was made up of several first year members; including Mr. Gene Mount and Dr. Gerald Tovatt. “They were all very easy to work with”, said Drake, “They’re all very personable and friendly and I’m glad I was able to serve with them this year.” Josten’s representatives are greeted by Mr. Matchett as ring sales begin.

Administration Board of Education—143 144—Service Staff Essential people Not only does Greenville have a good sized school but there is something special about it—it’s very clean. We have one of the best foods and services programs in the community. There have been a lot of changes in-the past years with the size in our school. We added a new wing a year ago and also added about 300 new freshman. This was a big change for the students and faculty but a major change for our custodial and cook supervisors. Three hundred more people meant three hundred more people to cook for and clean up after. The change was big but they adapted well to it with the help of a few new custodians and cooks. They also received a rinse vac and a new hall scrubber which helped a lot in cleaning the school. One of our custodians, Roger Christiansen said “the added freshman didn’t make my job much harder with the extra help that was hired.” We really appreciate our foods and services program and hope they keep up the good work. Service Staff—145 One of the larger employers in Greenville, and a participant in the Partners in Education program, is the Federal Mogul plant. Car dealers, new and used, have increased this year in Greenville. Ed Koehn Nissan, on North Lafayette handles both new and used cars. A Class Act TOWN SUPPORT Along with the addition to the high school, there has been numerous additions to the community. These establishments supply many of the students at G.H.S. with the opportunity to make new friends and earn some extra cash with their working experience. Many of these businesses offer scholarships to their student employees and help with their continued support of our school through advertisements and donations for the various sporting events and student organizations. The students and faculty at G.H.S. are very appreciative towards our community for their outstanding support of our school. With the help of the community, G.H.S. definitely adds up to a Class A Act. 146—Adveristing Community Those automobiles need tires on occasion, and Superior Tire handles a full line of B.F.

It is formally copyrighted and permission of the adviser and staff are required before any part may be reproduced for any purpose. This book was printed by the Delmar Printing Company of Charlotte, North Carolina. We would also like to thank the administration, the faculty, the staff, and the student body of Greenville High School for their support and help. The job of producing a yearbook of this size and quality is involved and it was with many people that it was possible. And lastly, we want to tell some on the staff that their effort and countless hours counted. We want to thank John Larsen and the 1989 staff for the conviction to finish the job. This book is printed on 80 pound gloss enamel paper and has 168 pages. There was a press run of 500 copies. During homecoming week activities, freshmen ohn Cooper got a “lift during the chariot races. The growing spirit during homecoming we climaxed during the pep assembly when Bill Kenney gave Ty Hailock a token of his esteem. —w— fe-. ----- During a track meet battle, senior Marty Taylor pole vaulted to great heights. Growth, changes highlight year The 87-88 year has come to a close. This has been a year of great change and expansion. We’ve seen this in nearly every department and section of Greenville High School. For instance, with the addition of 300 freshmen we moved up to class A. This caused some tough competition for our sports teams. Joining the Seaway Conference League also made the move more difficult. Despite the change, most Jacket teams fared well, but all look to improve in 89. Many changes occurred in the academics department also. New teachers were hired, and teachers came up from the middle school to handle the freshman rush. Various changes occurred within departments. The building has changed physically to handle the incoming students. An entire wing was added handling mostly Social Science classes. With all the improvements and changes made at Greenville High School, what can be said but, “It All Adds Up to a Class ‘A’ Act!” O
