The Road Mot Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry 1 could not travel both And be one travler, long I stood And looked down one as far I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair.

When this is done successfully, the events are forever fresh and new, the people pictured forever young and beautiful. In this yearbook time stands still: There is only now and the promise of things to come... Each yearbook has become more precious with the passing of time, each a sweet remembrance of a year of life that will never change. CERTAIN musical and literary forms became the GCI1S The music was new, black, polished chrome and came over the world like liquid night. Live Aid's worldwide telecast and Bruce Springsteen’s impressive tour brought the best of rock 6r roll to a wider audience than ever before. This year, it became evident that rock is not only an essential part of our culture, but speaks for social well-being. While the would-be censors took their crusade to Capitol Hill, rockers turned the music's influence toward positive change. Bob Qeldof showed that benefit to aid the starving in Ethiopia can also be a great concert. The passionate, almost eye-tearing performances at Live Aid — from U2's Bad to Mick Jagger's duet with Tina Turner — carried it off, in the rock roll tradition, with high energy and style. The breakthrough of talented groups like Tears for Fears, Lone Justice, and Mr. Mister, and the comeback of talented artists like Dire Straits, Hew Order, Sting, and Bruce Springsteen demonstrates that rock 6r roll is a musical form capable of stretching its boundaries and continually regenerating itself. Movie makers learned the desirability of a rock 6r roll soundtrack for box-office success and television was partially recast in it's image. Bruce Springsteen, who's social commitment is inseperable from his music, gave us both a warning and a reason for optimism. Take a good look around, he sings, this is your hometown. ..STUDENT LIFE MUSIC AMD JOURNALISM intertwine as Sophomore Suzie Donan entertains her tympanic membrane with that old time rock Sr roll while contemplating her homework.

Should he wear just jeans and a T-shirt? Or maybe something a little dressier, such as cords and a sweater? Possibly even something a little more trendy, like baggies and an oversized shirt? With today's new trends in fashion, whatever he chooses will be in style” because nowadays anything and everything is in.

Grove City High School added a new sport to the athletic program, Girls' Volleyball. It was an historic yearwith the team determined to have fun. Lori Grace and Teresa Roach helped the Lady Eagles defeat West Middlesex. West Middlesex is a powerhouse, said Coach Denbow, who considered this to be the most outstanding game of the season. The most challenging game of the year was when Grove City was defeating Kennedy Christian 8-0 in the first game and ended up losing the match in three games. The girls learned a lot about volleyball and showed great growth through skill development and constant effort, always maintaining an enthusiastic attitude, said Assistant Coach Miklos. With the team's winning attitude this year, the team should be the best team ever next year. GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL SENIORS: Top Row: P. Bowser, L. Grace, W. Hedglin, L. tlornberger. Second Row: C.

I feel the most exciting part of the season was the game against West Middlesex. We hadn't expected to win, but we went out there, gave it our best, and we beat them. I thought that most of the team members were great to work with. We had a lot of fun together.

VALEDICTORIAN SALUTATORIAN 4 SENIORS W 9 On the night of June 6,1986, two of our most outstanding students were honored in the Grove City High School auditorium. They were first and second in the Senior Class, Diana Miller and Doug Simmons. It took more than luck and brains to get to the top. Each admitted that it included plenty of hard work. They both were dedicated students throughout their twelve years of school, resulting in this honor bestowed upon them. Diana Miller is the daughter of noble and Jean Miller. Her hobbies are reading, waterskiing, and swimming. She has been active in numerous school activities including national Honor Society (Pres., V-Pres.), Band, French Club, Saturday Science, and AFS. When asked how she felt about receiving this award, she replied: I feel very honored to be Valedictorian of the Class of 1986. In my opinion, being valedictorian bestows upon me a duty to represent our class and the wonderful people in it. I also want to congratulate Doug Simmons, our Salutatorian, and every member of the Class of 1986. Good Luck to everyone. Doug Simmons is the son of Daniel and Lila Simmons. His hobbies include sports, reading, and listening to music. He has been industrious in many activities including French Club (Pres.), national Honor Society, (Sec.), Monogram Club, Varsity Football, Basketball, Track and Field, Intramural Tennis, and Saturday Science. When questioned about his feelings on the honor, Doug said: T feel honored that I have been fortunate enough to achieve the title of class Salutatorian. It makes the four years of work really seem worthwhile. I would also like to congratulate Diana on being Class Valedictorian. Senior Banquet Enjoyed By All PARTICIPATING IN ONE big get-together was a phenomenal event for the 1986 Senior Class.

On November 7, a gray and dreary morning, the Seniors joined together to get the G.C.H.S. traditional Senior Class picture taken. This year it was decided to try something different and take the picture around a bus. Everyone who could squeeze on the bus claimed a window, and the rest stood in front. Through all the laughing and confusion, we quieted down enough to get a couple of shots. We all chimed in with a big smile and a rousing cheer of Riunite to get this picture. Who will ever forget the class of '86? semoRs 72 Senior Class Officers Front Row: Doug Neely, Pres. Back Row: John Hormell, V. Pres. Wendy Hedglin, Treasurer, Ted Opitz, Secretary. The class of ”86 is the best class that ever has or ever will graduate from Q.C.H.S. I am proud to have been a part of this class and this school. The class of ”86 has shown superior academic excellence combined with few, but very well-qualified athletes. Our class has also excelled in artistic achievements with unmatched style. We waited three years to become SENIORS at which time we really came together with class pride and school spirit. We have enjoyed some WILD TIMES; yet, we haven't let that get in the way of education. We will now venture out into the world; using our knowl- edge and abilities to help make our country and the world the best it can be. I would like to take this time to congratulate everyone in the class of ”86 and say thanks for four years of friendship and great times. We will always have the style of Seniors in the class of nineteen hundred and eighty-six. ... Doug Neely SENIORS 73 ' V Graduation: The Final Chapter After twelve long years of blood, sweat, and tears the long awaited night had come - Graduation night. Emotions ran high as the seniors assembled in the gymnasium. Everyone realized that this would be their last night together as the Senior Class. The touching ceremony was a bittersweet experience. The guest speaker was Dr. David Hoyt, who spoke about our goals for the future. Following the ceremony there was laughter as well as tears. The seniors said their final farewells to their classmates and faculty. Is we reach out our hand The diploma we grasp While we think of the memories Of the years in the past. Tears fill our eyes Because it 's all gone. We re starting a new life. We have to move on. We hope friends will keep in touch Is the years pass us by. Although it hurts inside We'll try not to cry. We think of kindergarten And our first day, now we've reached the end We are going away. How do you say good-by To friends who mean so much? Will there be time To sincerely keep in touch? You'll always have the memories Of your school years from day one. Don't think of school ending-Think a new life has begun.

Library assistants provide a valuable service in keeping the library organized and maintained. Among their duties, they circulated, checked in and reshelved materials, organized the newspaper and magazine racks, and aided students in the location of information. Librarian Miss Davis commented, They are very important for the smooth operation of the library. Other students who assisted at school were the health room helpers. These students ran errands, administered minor first-aid, and did other jobs for Mrs. Garton. They were a big help, she said. Doing these small tasks gave our nurse the opportunity to spend more time with individual students who needed her assistance. SENIOR TAMMY ERICKSON helps out in the health room.

The first few weeks of school the Freshman wandered around the halls lost and confused.

It (the parade) was a good change. Some of the costumes proved that we could be creative even off the field. - Emilie McFeely Once upon a time ... little goblins, witches, ghosts and all sorts of scary and amusing creatures marched down Broad Street in a little old town. Grove City. These fine kiddies were fun to look at, but the on-lookers detected that something was missing. Suddenly out of the silence came a beautiful harmonous sound, followed by another note ... music! The band was here! The audience cheered as the GCHS band passed, riot only did the band arrive, but all of its members were clothed in original costumes ranging from draculas, rabbits, and jailbirds to bananas. The creativity of the band was superb. With all of the young Freshman, look for another outstanding band next year, and many more to come.

In this year's class, the freshmen did a variety of experiments ranging from making handcream and aspirin to bending glass and observing the heating of metals and acids. When class president Ishmael Limkakeng was asked about his classmates' ability, he responded by saying, One small spill for us, one giant hole for the table. Sure, the freshmen might not have been Albert Einsteins, and they didn't discover a cure for cancer, but they had every reason to be deeply satisfied with their productive hours in the laboratory. After all, scientific seeds were being planted in young minds while the majority of the Grove City high School students was probably still sleeping in bed. LIZ DRAHUSCHA HARD Chrissy Howard studied Mr. Christie's every move so they would be able to complete the experiment as close to perfection as possible. BEFORE EVERY SATURDAY. Mr. Christie prepared and tested the experiments that he was going to assign his freshmen to attempt the following Saturday.

Sophomores Add Spirit To The ambition and hard work of the class of 1988 was evident throughout the whole school year. They entered the school year with experience, new ideas, and goals. Many Sophomores carried a full academic schedule and were still able to participate in extra curricular activities. The Sophomore class was led by Sarah Barr, Secretary, Paula Lapcevic, Treasurer, Jeff Mills, Vice-President and Nathan Hughes, President. They contributed their energy and spirit to help make this a successful year.

The High School students who did take a deep breath and attempted to overcome their fear were very satisfied with the outcome of their improved bodies. Although weightlifting might not have been the most glamorous and elegant sport, both male and female students took part after school to improve their body either at home or at school. Sure, weightlifting attracts many students because of the anticipation of having a body like Sylvester Stallone. However, many students pumped iron hoping to get in shape for an upcoming sport, or just for personal satisfaction and overcoming the winter blues. Weightlifting was one of those things that was hard to get started, but once you got in the groove, it was a hard habit to break. Ray Batz, who lifted to improve throwing the discus in track, said. Weightlifting was like eating Spinach. It may not have been enjoyable at first, but the more you familiarized yourself with it, the better it got and the stronger you became. Sure, with all of the sweat, noise and hard work, weightlifting might not have been the most appealing pastime, but after a period of continuous body punishment, students were becoming stronger and getting in shape.

ERIC LinDtl was not responsible for eating all of this food himself. Slaved around by the members of his lunch table, Eric was forced to haul his friends' left over grub to the trash cans. Life in the Fast Lane SOPHOMORES, SHAWM Sowers (top) and Alan Montgomery (bottom) found that being able to drive was very beneficial because they could come into town from their country homes without their parents having to escort them. Turning sixteen is an exhilarating time to Sophomores for several reasons. Some enjoy it for the privilege of being allowed to go to the R-rated' movies without having to counterfeit their physical being to look older. Others savor this sweet year because they hope to get more respect from their peers. Although there are many reasons why this B-day is one of the greatest, being able to drive is the biggest thrill of turning sixteen. Being able to drive made the sixteenth birthday extra special because we could then feel a sense of freedom. At that time, the New Teenager could drive their dates to dances and the movies without having to be chauffered by their parents. Also, it gave Sophomores a chance to join in on the popular pastime of loafing around, hanging out, or as it is better Known, cruising. Cruising is seen all through the summer nights and on weekends during the school year. This activity has been a fad since our parents attended high school, for some, even grandparents. At Grove City high, the most frequent hangout was MacDonalds. The crowds ranged from a small count of five or ten to a flock of fifty. As always, the Rent-A-Cop rolled up and cleared every last one of the loitering cruisers off the premises. Regardless, within fifteen minutes the loafers were soon back at the fast food restaurant looking for some new action. While some prefer hanging out at MacDonalds, others enjoy the luxury of just driving around. Occasionally all one did was drive around town again and again, honking at and picking up friends. Filling up in cars is another favorite of students. Once in a while, a car may contain from six to ten people; it may be cramped, but with friends, it was always fun. Whatever the attraction, it looks as though cruising will stand the test of time. High School Junior, Michele Hibbard stated, Cruising has always been around and it always will.

Many new and exciting opportunities, like driving a car. This is also a time to purchase class rings! In early Movember the ring sales began with a brief assembly in the auditorium. This assembly was to inform the sophomores of the many different styles of rings to choose from and also to let them know how the rings could be purchased. Two weeks later orders were taken at open house and also during lunches. There was a wide selection of rings to choose from, ranging from the color of the stone to the symbols you wanted on your ring. After Christmas the Ring Company was finished with the rings. The students picked up their rings during their lunch period. Their expressions were of pure delight as they inspected their purchase. The rings would last a lifetime, bringing back memories of their highschool years. SOPHOMORES, SHAWM SOWERS, Lisa Pierro, Mike Palmer study the class rings carefully. The rings sales is an annual part of the Sophomore year.

JUNIORS _ 117 Pictures, pins, posters and pin-ups, were just a few item s cluttering the interior of a locker at Grove City High School. In fact, many students invested an unbelievable amount of time, creativity, and money decorating their lockers. I decorated my locker, because even though I was in school, I wanted to feel like I was at home ' explained Teresa Roach about the decor in her locker, j couldn't stand having my boyfriend away from me all day long. Conversely, it was rare to discover a locker that a male had extensively designed and decorated. Although, there were few exceptions, most guys faced dingy, grey lockers each day, unless they were members of a sports team. Cheerleaders then decorated lockers belonging to players with signs and slogans to psych them for the games. The most popular addition to lockers were magnetic mirrors. Hear the top of the lockers, these reflectors gave students a chance to glimpse at their own appearance and it also saved time from going all the way to the rest room to comb ones hair. Designed with personal taste, many lockers represented more than a book box to the students of Grove City High School. Protected by Key and combination locks were lockers plastered with mirrors, magnets, stickers, sayings and a variety of other objects waiting to be revealed every few minutes between classes. Home Away From Home GIGI hlGtlLANDS LOCKER, which was the most extensive designed one in the school, had a variety as items ranging from a box to hold pencils, to a pant pocket, a mirror, a picture of her boyfriend, a Garfield message board and a lot more.

'Tonight's Homework Assignment Is These words are frequently heard and often forgotten. Although teachers assign homework regularly students are often lax in getting homework assignments completed. One of the easiest ways of getting around doing homework is simply not doing it. This is practiced by all students at one time or another, but only few follow this pattern regularly. Another tactic for the avoidance of lugging books home night after night, is doing your homework as soon as it is assigned. Many students use study halls to do homework. This method seems to work out very well for almost all students. By far the most popular method seems to be the last minute rush. This is where students will grab for that one complete paper, just before the bell rings, so they can fill in the blank answers quickly before class starts. Although this isn't the most honest method, it seems to be the quickest. FRESHMAN BRANDI WEBER works diligently on her homework. Studyhalls are a great place to do homework In a quiet atmosphere.

This year’s theme was Compromise and Conflict. Students could chose one of six categories which included, individual projects, individual performances, group projects, group performances, history papers, and media presentations. Students were awarded with trophies, monetary awards and medals. More over, participating students gained knowledge of their small comer of history. A Project on Watergate by April Shawgo and Debbie Uber was one of many attractions. HISTORY DAY FAIR f i The Yearbook Staff The Pine Knot Staff worked dili gently throughout the year to produce a fine and memorable 1986 yearbook. Attitudes from the student body produced the driv ing edge for the staff to attempt perfection. Due to the teaching, and sometime haunting of Mr. Terry McClelland, the production of the 1986 Pine Knot includes highly specialized technological effects and achieves the air of a supreme artform. The yearbook is an artform, such as the work that goes in to band or athletics, the yearbook took deep concentration and hard work. The preplanning, layouts, pictures, copy, headlines, and cropping was new to most of the staff, but through the hard work and dedication of the staff members it achieved success. opening and ct osirtG AMYMcNICRLF ■ Opening and Closing Sections Connor seniors JILL CUMMtriGS ■ Senior Section, Typist VALL RIF DILLAMAN - Senior Section.

Smith m ■ —.................................... ■;.........................i........................................................... The Road Not Taken And both that morning equally lay. In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and 1 -I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.
