The freshmen gathered near the front door, while the sophomores, juniors and seniors began the ritual of walking around the halls. They chatted about summer activities, purchased school supplies and clothes. Often a comment surfaced expressing the hope of being placed in classes, with their friends, chosen the spring before. Occasionally, summer sports and marching band practices were mentioned. The pep assemblies got the adrenaline pumping for the games throughout the year and the dances kept the blood flowing. The students hit the books as well as the games. School spirit flourished while awaiting the arrival of twelve foreign exchange students from Germany on March 26,1988. As the year progressed. people excelled in different areas throughout the year. The golf team won the CMAC Conference Championship.

Luckily, before the whole ordeal got any messier, the teachers and the board of education announced a settlement Then the school turned green, not with envy, but with cheering MSU Spartans all the way to and through the Rose Bowl. Loyal MSU fans predicted that they would win and on January 1st, 1988, saw their predictions come true. Some school spirit was hampered by an announcement of no more money. That meant no more field trips for the second half of the year. The school board had to call an emergency millagc election on April 18, 1988 to add six more mills. The seniors created a new obstacle, called the senior trip. Memories of the problemed 1986 senior trip were still intact as the board members were hearing the itineraries of the four day trip for the 1988 senior trip to Virginia.

He spends his time riding motorcycles and taking dangerous chances. Jon Arthur (sophomore) says I usually go out with friends, or go riding on our three or four wheelers, because 1 like being out of the house! A Shannon Morrill Mmmm...

Homecoming! What makes this the popular game that it is? Allison Morrill (sophomore) commented that the spirit is her favorite part of the homecoming tradition. Besides the fact that the sophomores won the money jar. further added Morrill. The spirit of home- coming seemed slow in coming this year as the hot chocolate and popcorn were hard to Find. The crowd around the concession stand was not always gracious as the hungry and cold fans voiced their complaints vocif- erously. The queen and king candidates and the members of the court found the cold to be just that, cold! The shivers emitted from these elect members were not all from the nervousness that they experienced! The court members and others were soon sheltered from the wind by the middle school gym as they arrived for the post game dance. My toes were numb! It took too long for my body to unfrost, commented Jami Shaw (senior). 1 was also impressed by the way the gym looked. It wasn’t drab, that's for sure!

Have you ever had the responsibility of feeding a pet that was your brother's or sister's? Many people have had to do this, but some take the responsibility of caring for their own animals. For example, Beth Baker (junior) has a wide variety of animals, including: deer, squirrels, a prarie dog, a goat, a rabbit, geese, and peacocks. Some might think this is a tedious job taking care of all of these animals, but Baker states, 1 don't mind feeding them, because they arc lots of fun to take care of. Most house pets are either cats or dogs. Some people have big dogs, while other people have little dogs. Jeff Hughes (sophomore) has a Springer spaniel. He stated, I like my dog but I hate feeding the thing.” Some students like to keep their dogs in the house while others keep them chained in the backyard. Hughes further added, We keep ours indoors until he has to go to the bathroom then we put him outside. Cats come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Mary Curtin (junior) has an Angora cat. Curtin states I like my cat, because it is soft and furry.” There are some people who do not like either cats or dogs. Rusty Cook (sophomore) is one of them. He likes birds. He has a greenish, yellow cockatiel. Cook added, I like birds because they're a lot easier to take care of. Some students would even go as far as getting exotic pets like an alligator, or a spider. Pets come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A Vince Beeman Isn't that special? Beth Baker (junior) shows her affection toward one of her favorite pets, her deer. Baker keeps most of her animals in the backyard in a fenced-in area. Now that's a fur coat! Mary Curtin (junior) cuddles with her cat on one of those cold winter nights. Her plush cat, Sandy, is a female black and white striped Angora. A Stacy Bradfield Wild from weekend excursions provide escape dreary week days! What do most students look forward to at the end of the week? Weekends, of course. What do most students do on the weekend? Mark Koonter (sophomore) stated, I like weekends because they give me a chance to kick back, and hunt with my dogs. Weekends are also a time to get away from the pressures of school and daily life. Beth Baker (junior) states, I like to go horseback riding at Caryn Knapp's house. There are many things to do on the weekends. For example, Koonter commented, I like to rent movies and have friends over to watch them with me.” Renting movies is just one of the activities students like to do on the free days. During the spring and the fall there are lots of activities to participate in. Mike Hagerty (sophomore) states, My friends and I like to get together and play games of football and baseball, depending on what sport is going on at the time. In the winter, there isn't as much to do. But students with imaginative minds usually play hockey or ice golf. One student revealed that she constructs snow faces. Traveling down any road on a certain day you may encounter many snowmen. The possibilities of what to do on these free days arc endless. Most students, though, just like to see a movie or curl up with a good book. The mall is a popular place on Friday and Saturday night. There are some who like to stay home and watch TV and there are a few who actually study or do their homework. A Vince Beeman Keeping warm!

Hundreds of kids pour out of the accordian doors, to invade the local McDonald's. Is this a new horror film? No, this is part of a field trip. • Field trips arc more than just a way of skipping school, as one senior put it. They are an important part of the learning process. I think field trips are educational because we go to places where you learn with your friends... finds Greg Mitchell (junior). You also learn about the places you go to,” contributed Lori Burt (junior). You get a better understanding of things on a field trip than listening to a teacher lecture, stated Melisa Hutchings (freshman). Before field trips were no longer permitted, due to a lack of funds, English and agriculture classes went to many different places. English III and AP English travelled to the Detroit Institute of Art and the MSU Wharton Center to sec Taming of the Shrew. The publications class attended several conferences and sent six students to Kansas City, MO. The agriculture class also sent several people to Kansas City, just prior to the publications trip. There they attended a national conference and heard such speakers as Lee Iacoca and George Bush. Various clubs also took field trips. The Varsity Club attended an MSU girls' basketball game, and the Foreign Exchange Club went to Chicago from March 28- ________30 while the Germans were visiting. There they visited the Scars Tower and museums. But what would the ultimate field trip be? Sophomore Jason Schmuecker feels that it would be great to go to New York [City] and see all the stores and museums and stuff. A Heather Laird Are you sure? Senior FFA members Ken Hart ig.

Field Trips 17 W HAT'S up? Kick back... Relax... vacation time! itn nly 23 more days ’til Christmas! was a common refrain heard in the halls prior to winter V- vacation. I can’t wait until I’m in Florida!” was also a familiar phrase, especially before spring break. Vacations are traditionally anticipated by students, from the day school resumes in August. Why are they so popular? Brandon Walters (junior) reports that he likes vacations because they provide an opportunity to sleep in. On a vacation you can relax, take it easy... There’s no pressure to get things done,” elaborates David Greene (junior). If there’s nothing to accomplish, then what do people do? Many families use this time to take a vacation together, travelling to such places as Florida and California. Others simply used the time to enjoy activities in Michigan, such as skiing. For Shannon Morrill (junior) it was the first time she had ever gone downhill skiing. It was scary!” she exclaims. Spring break this year didn't provide much sunshine, but students still found plenty to occupy their time. The hiatus from the normal school routine was welcome to the students. A Heather Laird Don't fall! Vince Beeman (sophomore) and Mike Mahoney (junior) enjoy cross country skiing over winter vacation.

The ninety degree sunshine streamed on parents, friends and families of the proud graduating class of 1988. Karen Karck, salutatorian, related her anticipation. I finished my speech at 3:00 in the morning. I was really nervous and I started reading really fast.” She also said she would have been even more nervous except that before the speech, approximately sixteen seniors performed the class song, I've Had the Time of My Life. Karek explained, When we were in Busch Gardens, about fifteen of us got together and went to a recording studio and recorded our class song. Most of us felt that every class picks a class song, bu they don't use it. So, we decided we would dedicate it to the class of '88. When the speeches were finished, the class threw their caps into the air, the band played Fanfare and Recessional, and it was all over. Scott Powelson summed it up. It feels great! A Michele Baltz Speech! Karen Karek presents her salutatory address to the audience. I’ve had the time of my life!

Larry Hagerty (junior) participates in shared time. He lakes auto repair. He and other students travel by bus, leaving for Corunna before the school day has started. Hard work. Kari Sutfin (senior) works at the Laingsburg branch of Clinton National Bank on the co -op program, after lunch. She performs the basic duties of a teller- performing transactions, totaling the day’s returns to calculate the balance, etc. 30 Co-op Shared Time Co-op and shared time: A Mike Mahoney Learning incorporates new skills Co-op and shared time courses allow students to leant in a different environment. The co-op program replaces hours in class with hours of work. It gives students an opportunity for a smooth transition from life in high school to life in the real world. The program is fabulous, but not flawless. One problem is that employers need students with specialized work skills, such as break repair in auto mechanics. However, in many cases students have common skills and not specialized ones. Kari Sutfin (senior) stated, Hands on experience is the best way to get ahead on your job instead of taking advanced courses in another school. Shared time is a program allowing students to take classes at a college or another high school to learn a specialized trade, such as data processing, auto mechanics or cosmetology. Matt Risch (junior) is taking auto mechanics classes at Corunna High School. Risch believes, It's a better way to leant more about specialized trades, because our school doesn't offer advanced courses in what I want to learn.” Tresha Magley (senior) attends Lansing Community College. She is taking a class in criminal justice. Magley stated, It is a good class because I would just be taking blow -off classes in high school but here I am taking a class that I am going to do later in life. A Vince Beeman ¥ Co-op Shared Time 31 •ULAOVTOi 'NOT im for the sky — Classes calculate A Carrie Smith into curriculum W ndustrial arts and math are two courses I which are intertwined through the use of shapes and figures. Industrial arts includes such classes as architectural drawing, small engines and woods, taught by Larry McDonald. Tom Brown (junior) enrolled in auto mechanics so, if I ever want to work on my own car, at least I'll know a little bit about it.” But there's a light side, too. He remembers the time a bunch of guys hid James Rowley's (junior) wood in a dust collector. He couldn't find it for a half an hour! Those arc the things I enjoyed most. Mark Earl (senior) felt that although taking apart engines was hard, taking notes without falling asleep was also difficult! Math classes are divided between Laurie Busby and Jeff Long. Busby teaches Advanced Math I and II, and Algebra II. Long teaches Algebra I, geometry, general math and consumers' math. This year, for Adv. Math I, Busby is experimenting with an independent study program. Lynette Snclson (junior) finds, It makes it easier because you're not being pushed, and it'll help for college because then you'll have to figure it out on your own. Also new in the math department this year is the freshmen's opportunity to take Algebra II before they continue to geometry. Kevin Stephens, a senior in Adv. Math II, says I don't think it really matters. Geometry is just a break from algebra...” Math isn't all work; it also has its rewards. Snelson reveals that it's a thrill, when I can actually figure a problem out! When you’ve been working on a problem for three hours and you finally figure it out, it's quite an accomplishment. A Heather Laird 32 Industrial Arts Finishing touches. Rusty Cook (sophomore) and Ian McKenna (senior) fine tune an automobile engine they are working on while in their fifth hour advanced shop class.

Scoti Placeway and Jim Marsh (juniors) concentrate on researching for their English III term papers, which constitutes a large portion of their overall grade. Placeway's paper was on the Watergate scandal, and Marsh's on Alaska. Waiting anticipation.

Little balls of eraser fuzz begin to litter their desk. There's no way they'll finish. Their hands begin to sweat. their head begins to pound. They look to the ceiling for help, but to no avail, its over, they're doomed! Another English test taken and failed. The hardest test was the Renaissance test. It was one of those tests you really feel you studied for but you still did bad,” complained English III student Scott Placeway (junior). If tests are the worst thing about English the rest must be great, right? Well... I really hated doing grammar, stated English II student Amy Marsh (sophomore). I remember having to write our five paragraph essays. I had to write it, rewrite it and then type it into the computer twice, because the first time it wouldn't print, cited Rich Gregg (freshmen) But it can't be all that bad. Mike Shaw (junior) confessed, I really enjoyed going to the Detroit Institute of Art. It was a great way to spend a day off school. I remember everyone in my group tried to lose our chaperone. Unfo tunately, I kept getting found. I remember when Terry Morrison wore a dress in English for extra credit. His hairy legs and chest were sticking out, chuckled Meshia Caswell (junior). A Michele Baltz English 35 A Carrie Smith A Scott Powclson Things are looking up!

Melissa Pcndcll (senior) lifts Kelly Ryder, her little student in Parenthood, into the air to launch a basketball. Art, home economics, and science: Gearing up for the real world! Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw, to see your own work appear on the paper in front of you? Or how about learning to deal with children? Can you envision yourself mixing chemicals like a mad scientist? If you can perhaps you should consider taking a class in art, home economics or science. In these types of classes you learn first hand by doing. Just like any class, books are involved, but so are doing labs, cooking, baby-sitting, or just practicing. Shelly Montague (junior) believes her favorite aspect of beginning foods class is the fact we get to eat the food we make. Greg Mitchell (junior) stated, Parenthood teaches you the responsibility you will have to have while raising children. Art students see their work immediately on the paper in front of them, and basic design student Wendy Potter (freshman) likes learning drawing techniques such as shading light and dark values and seeing how color evolves on a color wheel. Coughs and hacking could be heard coming from the chemistry room on the day of the copper sulfide experiment. Sarah Stccre (junior) commented, It stunk. It was one of those smells that gets caught in your throat, even coughing doesn't help any.

The school board has the power to make or to alter policies that effect the entire student body with a roll call vote of yea or nea . The ability to suspend or expel a delinquent in a single bound. Who is this group of men and women? They make up the board of education. This year the board said good bye to two familiar faces, Mrs. Jean Cook, secretary and Mr. Robert McCurdy, trustee. New faces added were Mr. Charles Holcomb and Mr. James Cribbs, trustees. The board has spent long hours searching through other schools trying to find ways to keep our schools more competitive. The decision to either build a new school or to renevating the old has been one of the biggest discussion items the board has ever tackled. We also have to improve the curriculum. . . (specifically) science and computer facilities. . . also in facilities in general. proclaims Vice President Stanley Blackledge. Early this year , . .We went through a teacher contract agreement. Adds Mr. Blackledge. The contract talks almost deteriorated to a nasty strike luckily both sides agreed on a contract provisions and the students stayed in school. Some of the on-going rcsponsiblities are . . .updating and maintaining our present schools. declared President Lawrence Sparkes. These men and women of the Laingsburg Board of Education are planning on this school system reaching for quality and progress. For them, the sky's the limit!

A Carrie Smith What if.........? Art Baker reviews the possibilities of constructing a new school for the Laingsburg School district. School Board 41 ministration running a sky high school Work, work, work and more work! These words have been used by many of the students here at Laingsburg High. But are students the only one’s who seem to overuse this phrase? Absolutely not! In order to have a school system operate, run smoothly, and educate students, there has to be someone to pull the strings and see that this is done. Here at L.H.S those strings are being pulled by the administration. The administration consists of four members who all have a job in making these strings work. They depend on one another to see that this is done. The members of the administration have specific jobs. These jobs include Superintendent, Business Manager, Principal, and Communitty Education Director. The superintendent, Halsted Beatty, sees to it that all three schools are run promptly and in specific order. His position allows him to have charge and oversight of the schools. Next is Business Manager, Nick DeVault, who helps Beatty. His position supervises payroll, school transportation, hot lunches, benefits to employers, tax informations, etc. Another member of the administration is Carl Clarke, otherwise known as THE PRINCIPAL . His job is Hard at Work. Halsted Beatty looks over several papers while in deep thought. to see to it that students are in their classes rather than out causing trouble in the hallways. Clarke, as principal, is in charge of extra-curricular activities, discipline, present activity accounts, and he is also in charge of keeping track of the attendance. Being a principal is a challenging and rather enjoyable job for me! explained Clarke. Director Kay Nickols of communittee education, is in charge of running adult enrichment classes, youth enrichment classes, senior citizen programs, adult high school completion program, and also L.C.C. liaison. She is now forming a new before and after school program which will be beginning in the fall of 1988. A Lori Burt A Scott PowcUon 42 Administration A Carrie Smith Attention!

Carl Clarke checks his attendance list to see who's absent. ¥ Administration 43 ill fui secretaries, helpers athletic director, aides Ring, ring, somebody P answer that phone! Where are the announcements? Where's the paper and pencils? Do you have any band-aids? If all these questions are too hard for you to answer, try being a secretary. Secretaries and office aides arc responsible for these things and more. Marty SchiebeTl, LHS office secretary, enjoyed typing so much that she never went back to nursing. Schicberl assists Mr. Carl Clarke in his duties, files papers, types various things, helps students and more. She's been a secretary off and on for twenty years. I love being a secretary, it's the best job I ever had, explained Schicberl. Mrs. Nichols is also a secretary, but for Mr. Beatty. She handles business, bookwork and other related school board minutes (taking notes at meetings). JoAnne DcZcss is the bookkeeper for the school. She orders supplies for all the Laingsburg schools, pay bills and works on the budget. DcZess is busy all the time.” Office aides are another story. Some of them had no other class to take so they became an office aide. Rashaun Morrill (senior) is one of these people. Unlike Schicberl, Morrill stated that being an office aide is all right. She has a similar job to office aides, she dictates medical prescriptions. Have you ever wanted to become a kitchen aide? Well, think about this... Some of the advantages are all workers receive free lunches and also wages every day they work. Matt Carpenter also stated that This is a very difficult but enjoyable work, I feel that all kitchen crew members should get a varsity letter for this task. This job isn't all fun and games. We have difficulties with some of the teachers and students. Many kids expect us to be their mothers. Yelling and screaming at us to get their food while some teachers never return their trays on time, which causes us to be late for our next hour class, stated Fred Foster. We all have different jobs, like taking money, serving, washing dishes, taking out the trash, a lot of what we do at home only in bulk, explained Matt Carpenter. Mrs. Leona Koonter started to work in the high school cafeteria from the beginning of the school year. All food is prepared in Laingsburg Elementary School. There are three of us in the kitchen who do all the cooking and dishes, explained Koonter. Before noon I put my stuff in the bus and transfer to LHS, added Koonter. So if serving food is your style, you might want to consider becoming kitchen aide. A Karen Sailer and Nives Hajdin A Carrie Smith He's in a meeting right now. Shuffling through papers to be filed, secretary Marty Schieberl listens to a question from an inquisitive student. 44 Secretaries A Sucy Bradficld A Rod Gleason May I take a message?

For many students the bus is the only way, whether they like it or not. Driving a bus for some people has its ups and downs. Pat Rosenquist exclaimed cold winter mornings is the worst thing about driving a bus. She also added I drive a bus because I like working with the students. This year the bus routine was a little different. Instead of the bus drivers picking up the elementary and middle schoolers first and then the high school students after school, they've reversed it. Three buses drive to the high school and the high school students get on one of the three and then go back to the middle school to board their own bus. Valerie Dell (89) doesn't like riding the bus at all. She claimed My bus is very inconsistent about the time it arrives, and The little kids scream and it's too cold. The school can be a messy place after a week or even a day normal student activity. Students litter the floor, or shoot paperwads at the trash cans and miss. Katie Grettenburger (janitor) commented, This place [Laingsburg High School] gets to be so messy it's pitiful. We have to work very hard to even keep the floors clean after one school day, let alone the whole school year. Thirty-one rooms keep the janitors busy. They have to work after school hours, nights, vacations, and even weekends to keep the place clean. Katie does a great job, whether it's before cheerleading practice or cleaning after publications layout at nine o'clock at night. commented Michele Baltz (junior).

Mrs. Herder expresses pleasantries during the N.H.S blood drive. Hey little girl, what do want to become when you grow up? Oh, I don't know, how about a teacher. This might sound familiar enough, but being a teacher was not a dream for most of the current teachers. I never thought I would ever be a teacher, stated Mr Douglas Smith, social science, Although, I didn't know what I wanted to be. I took a few years off and did odd jobs like a loan collector for a bank... then when I went to college for a year and made my decision, that being a social science teacher. If 1 could change anything, I would be a basketball coach full time,” said Mr. Jeff Long, math, That and being a millionaire! smirked Long. Mr. Tim Williams, social science raised in Fulton MI, had a lot of odd jobs before he started his teaching career. I worked at Baker's Choice making cookies... although I never became an actual baker of the cookies. Mrs. Laurie Busby, math teacher, worked at every place under the sun... from fast food resturants and working on the docks to an assistant athletic director at Ferris State. Mrs. Mary Barnes, librarian, is an exception, I have always wanted to be a librarian and teacher. Being a teacher wasn't a First choice for the majority of the teachers but the enjoyment was summed up best by Mrs. Cindy Mickevicius, science teacher, When I'm talking about something and I look around the room and you can just tell that everyone understands... it's the best feeling in the world. Yet, for our veteran teachers, there's a different gratification: ...when I hear about a student doing well. Or if a student comes back and says thank you for being so hard on him to get him ready for the real world-these are the best of times. expressed Mr. Smith.

I see unlimited possibilities for students and 1 think the only limit on the possibilities for LHS students are placed by the students themselves,” replied Spanish teacher Ms. Mary Latuszck. I like working with people and it was a work day and year schedule that would coincide with my son's, remarked Latuszck on teaching. Latuszek graduated from Grayling High School and then Central Michigan University. The programs offered here, of course aren't as varied as those of bigger schools but the education system, in my opinion, is sound and we have a number of really good teachers on our staff. Teachers, however, can’t make a student do homework or study for tests. That is something the students must do, stated Latuszek. Ms. Latuszek teaches Spanish I, II, and Advanced Spanish. She is also very active with the student body especially with the Class of 88 as advisor for four years. She has also held many other extracurricular positions in the school such as cheerleading advisor, homecoming chairperson (86-87) and Mr. Kauffman's assistant in the 87 musical. She is also the freshman class advisor. A Jami Shaw 50 Teachers ¥ A staff Mary Barnes........................Librarian Terry Breneman.................P.

The average tcacher coach, coaches at least 1 to 2 hours a day at practice with his team or has at least 1 to 2 games per week. Why do teachers coach athletes after a long day of working at the school? I enjoy being around kids. Athletics are part of my life and I like to sec kids excel in other areas along with academics, replied business teacher, Kris Rayburn. Rayburn has been the varsity girls' volleyball coach for 3 years. Social studies teacher Tim Williams commented on why he coaches, I like to be around the kids at a different setting than the classroom, and I also enjoy competition. Williams has been coaching at Laingsburg for 2 years. He coaches j.v. football and boys' varsity track. Mathematics teacher Jeff Long has been coaching at the high school for 4 years now. He coached j.v. football for one year and has been j.v. basketball coach for 4 years. Desire, and the will to win... is what Long hopes his athletes learn most from him. Coach Long enjoys coaching very much, but says it's definitely not for the pay. He stated, We are very underpaid, as coaches, at Laingsburg. Rayburn hopes her athletes learn that winning in athletics is not everything. That there's more to sports such as learning to get along with other people, discipline and leadership. Williams wants his athletes to learn from him, self- discipline and commitment. A Jami Shaw Teachers 51 hat's it like to be an underclassman? Or worse yet, to be called a freshman! When you're a freshman you’re at the bottom. These poor, lonely souls can only dream about becoming the ultimate limit.

A night on the town may be spent walking, or by supplicating a ride from an upperclassman. A freshman may have his her own chauffer who is usually tipped by the phrase, Thanks, dad! Freshmen do have their share of problems. Insults, namecalling, jokes, not really being able to date and the MONSTER (no car), are only the beginning. But, these battles of the brief period of a year arc fought with great courage and valor. But, don’t let these obstacles furnish high school blues. Freshman futures await them with junior varsity and varsity sports, driver's education classes, a ten page term paper for English III, and finally prom! Mere admiration of an upperclassman may fill a daydream in a freshman's eye. Being an underclassman doesn't have to be abominable. Freshman aren’t burdened with responsibilities of juniors and seniors, such as car payments, jobs vs. homework and college applications. The issue argues either way. Everyone experiences freshmen lifestyle. For some it's torment, for others delight. Just think, a high school senior becomes a college freshman which could be a scary adventure!

But, somehow, torturing underclassmen tempts their tastebuds more than school work ever could. Freshmen seem to take more complex abuse than the sophomores. The most obvious reason for this is that these ex- eighth graders are at the bottom trying to make it to the top. The beginning of picking on underclassmen is yet to be discovered. Marnie Wagner (88) states, I think that we're on a different intellectual level than most underclassmen, with different activities and problems. I don't look down on them though, because I remember how I felt when I was an underclassman. Underclassmen always get the most unusual titles. They also get blamed for just about anything. Scott Danek (88) thinks underclassmen are, Generally, nerds! If you weren't told who they were, you could still pick them out most of the time. These acts of teasing are all done for fun, of course, and not to be mean or nasty. The varsity football team has been putting their ideas into practice. It appears that some of the juniors have been recruiting the freshmen team as slaves. Basically they take care of our trays at lunch. We don’t let anyone pick on our slaves except us. It's not to be mean, explains Jared Dell (89). 'The freshmen arc cool! They don't act like nerds, just underclassmen. Slave, Marty Babcock (91), quietly states, It doesn't bother me, just as long as they don't hurt me! Tom Brown (89) says, I like most of them. It's something to do. Sometimes we have them act as messengers to do some of our work. Because they're freshmen they deserve it. Brown has concern for future upperclassmen. We're teaching them to take care of themselves. They have to ask to leave the table by saying 'May I please be excused. Sir?’ Upperclassmen usually just make fun of girls, but get physical with the guys. They're just being them ...it wouldn't be upperclassmen if freshmen weren't treated different, states Teresa Chrenka (91). A mere look from upperclassmen is enough to evoke insecure feelings. Underclassmen torture has changed since I was a freshman. All that used to happen was a visit to Mr. Fountain or perhaps a visit to the wrong bathroom. It is fun to watch and quite harmless.

Jason Woodworth (90) stated, You can't really go out on a date with your parents tagging along.” This is also a time when dating enters budding minds. With this subject, having a parent drive is out of the question! Arranging a double-date with older friends sounds more opportune. Meeting a date is also a good possibility. Most underclassmen don't have jobs, which creates another dilemma. Money is a requirement for most activities. An allowance produces a low income, which only seems like a base. Jason Schmucckcr (90) feels, There's not much to do without a car or money. Some students choose to stay home. Can it be that bad? Jeff Hughes (90) said, I don’t mind staying in when there's a good game on, and I can have a friend over. Renting a VCR movie is an alternative to going out. It saves money, gives the power to rewind, raise the volume and watch it ten times before it’s returned. Another alternative is having a few friends over to play a game of cards and ordering free- delivery pizza. Carrie Smith(88) concluded, It’s been said life is what it’s made.

For many LHS students getting to and from school causes problems. Mere misery may result from riding the 58 Underclassmen ¥ big yellow transportational vehicle”, alias the bus. Many underclassmen are subjected to riding the bus. And there are a few upperclassmen joining the group as well. Younger grades like the bus and think of it as a place of merriment. Most high school students, with discontented attitudes, have described the atmosphere of the bus as gloomy. Of these attitudes, experiences from transportation services, such as the school bus, leaves this form as a last resort. Frequently, the distance of five miles between home and school seems shorter and shorter for a brisk morning walk. I don't like the bus. I hate it! strongly stated Teresa Chrcnka (91). It's a waste of time. Beth Baker (89) adds, I’m on my bus for about a half an hour! Chrenka also stated some disadvantages, ...never any heat or air conditioner! And when there's a sub, they don't know what's going on! A Sltcy Bradficld What a relief!! Junior Kelly Grandy'� «mile show emotions of finally arriving to school. Russell Smith, freshman, waits eagerly to deboard from the bus ride. This is a good place to park. Todd Tundis, senior, arrives to school by driving. Jamie Hagerty, junior, rides along as a passenger. Why me??? Senior, Candy Churchill, and freshman, Tracy Franks, express extreme boredom as they exit the transportations! vehicle. A Stacy Bradfield Missing the bus is always an upset. Some parents are easily aggravated when they have to drive their son daughter to school in a bathrobe! A large portion of the junior and senior classes arrive to school by driving a car. But, this form of transportation also has it's disadvantages. In the winter I get stuck in the driveway. A lot of times I'm late because I have to scrape windows, complained Karen Karek (88). Bill Potter and John Morbcrg (88) both feel that all the gas can get expensive. There's a risk of going in the ditch and being late, says Morbcrg. While on the subject of the winter season, think of the students who walk to school. When it rains these unfortunate individuals may experience the life of being a drowned rat. In the winter, I hate walking! expresses Kent Shaw (91). It's freezing! In the spring, it's okay because you can see everything along the way. Rain presents another story. Picture day - I'm riding my bike. The chain comes off. It's raining and I'm all dressed up. My shoes were slippery and I fell, shares Shaw. Not fun! There just seems to be no exit to the many problems of transportation to and from school. The trials and tribulations of the school bus, walking in nasty weather and car trouble all contribute to the many experiences of the high school traveler. AMary Field ¥ Underclassmen 59 Misty-eyed scholars dream of the world beyond ICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK. You're sitting at your desk. You watch the second hand creep slowly around the clock. Only ten more minutes until the bell rings. That's only six hundred more seconds. Can you make it? Do you ever find yourself in this situation? If you do, you're not alone. Many high school students spend several hours of their life daydreaming. Mrs. Laurie Busby says, It's easy to tell when a student isn't paying attention. Their eyes arc looking off out the windows or when we're correcting papers in class they look at me instead of their papers. Then when they realize that I know they’re not paying attention, they get this guilty look on their face. Ann Trahan (91) admits she has been caught not paying attention. I usually pretend I'm taking notes but I'm really writing letters. Then if the Aguilar, Celeste' Atherton, Leretta Baker, Elizabeth Baltz, Michele Bellingar, Jamie Blackledge, Maria Bradfield, Stacy Braman, Troy Brown, Scott Brown, Thomas Burt, Lori Buxton, Deborah Caswell, Meshia Cecil, John Chambers, Joe Cook, Bridget Curtin, Mary Dell, Jared Dell, Valerie Dickson, Robert Donnan, Chanda Eckelbarger, Sheri Eggleston, Andrew Elliff, Joseph Foster, Frederick teacher calls on me, and I don't know the answer, I babble on for a long time until the teacher gets sick of me talking and makes someone else answer the question.” Marc Dickson (88) finds government class sixth hour the hardest class in which to pay attention. It's the end of the day, and I want to get away from school. Zach Schiebner, Jared Dell and Lori Burt (89) agree that Chemistry, third hour, has to be the hardest in which to be attentive. There's so much to learn. The biggest problem is that it deals with things you can't see, such as atoms, nuclei and all that other stuff. If you get behind on one thing it's almost impossible to catch up, so you get so frustrated that you don't pay attention anymore, explained Burt. Mrs. Aileen Robertson, however, observed, They (the daydreaming students) look around a lot. I often catch students gazing out the windows or just plain in a daze. Then there's always the obvious students that don't care to pay attention at all and work on something else. So, the next time you're sitting at your desk and you see someone looking out the window or dozing off, wake them up quickly. This could be a big favor. Odds are your teacher knows exactly what's going on. Ajamie Bellingar s Fox, Amy Fransway, Nichole Grandy, Kelly Gray, Christine Greene, David Gustafson, Jason Hagerty, Jamie Hagerty, Larry Hart.

Wow! Talk about burned out! Most students spent several hours going over past assignments, tests, notes, etc., to 62 Underclassmen get ready for the previous week of final exams. But why do teachers insist on students taking finals? This question is pondered greatly by the minds of students. Most of the teachers and Mr. Clark agree that students learn very little, if any, new material that they hadn't picked up on when it was covered the first time. So why take finals? As a high school student, you are learning, and should learn to budget time and learn to take finals, says Mrs. Barnes. Mrs. Robertson agrees. It's not the material students learn by studying for finals, but how to study large amounts of material and organize time. Ms. Latuszck feels finals are necessary, Because you'll be required to take finals in college. It seems unanimous among the teachers that the purpose of finals is to evaluate how well the students are learning the material, and to prepare students for college. However, not all teachers believe that a written final test is A Scou Po we l on A Scou PoweUon What ia this answer?? Rob Parks, junior, intensely concentrates while mastering one of his many final exams. Nicole Fransway, junior, carefully approaches her test in the background. No sweat! Jennifer Wolfe, junior, patiently takes an exam with ease. Strained Brains!!! Juniors Amy Fox, Rebecca Baley and Bridget Cook attack an English III final with great courage and effort. A Stacy Bradfield the best way to accomplish student evaluation. In typing and accounting, there's no real need to test students on whether or not they learned what they were supposed to say in chapter three because they couldn't do the work in chapter six without that knowledge, states Mrs. Rayburn. Mrs. Torra has her students in Computer Literacy write a program using all the material they learned in class as a final exam. It makes it more interesting for the students, says Mrs. Torra, as well as forcing the students to show what they learned from the course. I would prefer to have shorter tests at different times of the year...instead of the large semester finals,” comments Dan Churchill (88). Yet others, such as Cathleen Van Buren (89) feel that there are no other options [than the final exam] to evaluate how much a student has learned. Elizabeth Bryde (88) probably best summarized the feelings of those who support final exams when she said that they were the only accurate way to figure out if you've learned the material...at this time. If you're out there saying, eh, I don't care if teachers give finals or not. I'll just get exempt from taking it. Stop!!! Fewer teachers are exempting. I used to give exemptions as a reward, states Mrs. Torra, but I've decided that the people who would earn the exemption are the ones who will go to college and need to learn how to take a test.

Best friends find unlimited friendships supports riend (frend) - n. 1. one who knows and likes another 2. a person who favors and 3. a person who belongs to the same side or group. What would it be like in the world if there were no best friends? The world's relationships are made of friendships. Wolfpack halls are filled day in and day out with friendships that make lives complete. The freshmen usually experience the joy of high school by all the people they meet. The sophomores, juniors and seniors strengthen their relationships, while making new friends in the process. Junior Jamie Bellingar commented that, It's nice to have best friends because you know they will always be there for you.” Friends are usually observed by little groups or circles of friends who are always together. Of all your friends, one person seems to stand out from them all. To me, a best friend is one of the most important things you could ever have! Someone to share secrets with, cry or laugh with, or just someone to be with, Lori Burt (89) describes. Besides being someone trusting, caring, someone you Fight, laugh and cry with, a good friend is with you forever. Teresa Chrcnka (91) concludes, My best friend is the most special person on the earth! She is always there for me when I need her, and even when I'm acting stupid she’s always there.

If they are out late they are probably doing something they shouldn't. That doesn't have to be the case all the time. Most kids can probably come home at a reasonable time. Bobby Schultz argued If they have a curfew then they will be out later. It looks like their parents don't trust them to come home on their own at a reasonable time. Parents seem to have a sense of security when their child is home and not running around. Clare and Pat Greene said it's a safe feeling to know that your kid is end sometime!! home and not off doing who knows what. Senior Camie Haughton commented, I believe that setting a curfew is appropriate in maintaining discipline. Those who misuse their freedom should be reprimanded.

How ya doin'? -A A. Pretty good. Ducky. How 'bout you? Is this a common conversation between you and your friends? Are you ever called anything but your given name in the halls at school, at football practice or at home. There are various titles for individuals, also known as nicknames, among the students at Laingsburg High School. Nicknames are either descriptive or pet names. Descriptive terms express a person's characteristics. Or maybe a name is too hard to pronounce. Walking through Wolfpack halls is where you'll see Scott Scoobaage Danek reach for a high five with Kevin Steph Stephens, or Brad Shiek Hawes. Karen Karrot Karek may be unjamming her locker during the tardy bell. You can catch Rashaun Rash Morrill warming up on the basketball court. Somehow nicknames always seem to stay with a person forever. Even if a pet name is hated or stupid it just won't go away. I've had mine ever since 8th grade. I like my nickname because 'Tim' is boring. My friends always call me 'Ho.' expressed Tim Ho -Man Bolles. Michele Beaver Wurm said, It doesn't really bother me anymore. I’ve gotten used to my nickname. Nicknames are something that can give you a sense of security, or make you feel special. They separate you from any other person. Jami Shaw commented on Rashaun Morrill's nickname, We thought 'Rash' was easier than saying her whole name. We just cut it in half. Brad Shiek” Hawes revealed, There was this place -kicker for Michigan named Ali Haji-Sheik. Tim Bolles always called me 'Hawesy', and switched to 'Sheik.' Added Hawes, I like it. It's kinda neat, because my friends thought of it. They named me.” Nicknames are something that arc fun. They can let others know someone's special characteristics or they can make a name a little more exciting. Whether they're among friends or family, nicknames will always be remembgred.

This is a tunc that many LHS seniors understand. Whether they have entered co-op for valuable work experience or are flingin' burgers at a fast food joint for extra spending money, numerous high school seniors have entered the working world. Mr. Marsh, high school counselor, explained what co-op is and how it works. Co- op stands for cooperation between the school and the employer designed to instill good work habits to the student, and introduce them to the working world. We recommend co-op to the student who plans to go to work straight from graduation, Marsh continued. We discourage kids who arc just after some extra spending money, and college-bound students. The time co-op takes up for students planning to go to college could be used for academic preparation for college. Rashaun Morrill is part of the cooperative work exchange. She works an average of 20 hours per week at A T computers. When asked if working interfered at all with her social life, Morrill explained, No, working doesn't interfere at all because I work during school hours. I don’t work after school at all because I participate in sports. Morrill has worked at her job for four months and she enjoys it immensely. She recomends working to other LHS students, My job is a lot of fun and it teaches responsibility. Not all of LHS's workers are co-op members. Some are in it for the extra spending money, and others are saving for college, though the work experience they are acquiring is still a valuable asset. On the subject of how work affects one's social life, Scott Danek (Leonard's True Value Hardware worker) replied, It depends on how many hours I work. It usually doesn't interfere though. Cheri Behrenbrinker (Elias Brothers Big Boy), Todd Tundis (7-eleven), and Mindy Smith (Goff Food store) all agree that work doesn’t affect their social lives.

Michele Wurm (Mahoney's IGA) and Marc Dickson - (Meijer Thrifty Acres) both have another view. Working interferes on the weekends for me, Wurm stated. Dickson agreed, I don’t get to go to the games Friday nights, or watch some of the T.V. shows I like during the week. So working can have it's pros and cons. The majority of those interviewed though, agreed that working can give valuable experience and promote responsibilities.

They placed well in invitationals, brought the Conference back home, and finished out the season in an admirable fashion. explained Coach Don Beavers. The Laingsburg High School golf team ended its 1987 season with an outstanding 12-0 record and the CMAC Conference Championship. It was the first CMAC golf title since 1973 and its only undefeated seaon. The Wolfpack ended the season 8- 0 in the conference. The conference record consisted of two wins over Pewamo- Westphalia, Portland, Saranac, and Fulton. The Wolves also defeated Perry, Ovid -Elsie, and Webberville (twice). During the season the Wolfpack tied the school record for total team score at their home course by shooting a spectacular 149 against Fulton. They also broke the school record for total score at an away course with a 154 against Saranac. After the dual-meet season ended the Wolves traveled to Portland compete in the CMAC Conference meet. Despite finishing behind Pewamo-Westphalia, it was enough to capture the CMAC crown for Laingsburg. The final team scores were as follows: P-W 331, Laingsburg 343, Portland 346, Saranac 371, and Fulton 414. Alex Coss was named first man, first team All-Conference and Bill Potter received first man, second team All-Conference honors. Chad Morley and John Morbcrg received honorable mention recognition. Next the Wolves traveled to Webberville to compete with fifteen other teams for the Class C regionals. They finished five strokes away from moving on to the State Finals. Alex Coss shot an 80 in regionals which qualified him to move on for individual state competition at Byron. There he shot yet another 80 and Finished fourth in the state. I went to States with the idea of having fun. I was extremely happy to finish fourth, stated Alex Coss. Coss ended a marvelous four year career at Laingsburg and was named to the All-State team for the third straight year. Seniors Alex Coss, Bill Potter, John Morberg, Dan Morgan and Jason Warner all ended their golfing days for the Wolfpack. The Seniors deserve all the awards and gratification they receive because of all the hard work they have put in during the past several years, exclaimed Wolpack coach Don Beavers.

With two complete teams, cross country begins an era of . . . unlimited possibilities Cross Country started 3 years ago with 8 runners on the team. Now it has expanded into 2 teams with 8 on the girls’ team and 5 on the boys' team. Coach Harry Walters thought both teams did exceptionally well this year. He also stated If both the teams return then they should have a good season next year. The girls had an excellent season by compiling a 6-2 record. The only league meets they lost were to Bath who seem to always have a state qualifier each year. Their invitation-al meets were also impressive. They took first at Ferris State Invitational, second at Shiawassee Invitational, second at Perry Invitational, second at Clinton County Invitational, second in the CMAC and sixth at the rcgionals meet. Jenny Stuht commented I think we did very well for having only 3 years for a cross country team. Monica Smith, junior, also thought they had a great year. She cited that the best part of cross country this year was taking first at the Ferris State Invitational. She exclaimed I thought it was great getting first! The boys team compiled a record of 2-5. The team mostly consisted of young freshman and sophomore inexperienced runners. Coach Walters replied the team was young and have talent but it’s a matter of maturing and developing their talent. He thinks they'll have an even better season next year. Following the regionals meet is the state meet. Laingsburg had one long distance contending runner named Jenny Stuht.

Cross Country 87 Varsity football's limitless courage produces a season of ... $2 (g (£ (f $ $ he city of Laings- burg takes its Foot- ball seriously. The Wolfpack fans never stop cheering. But after an 0-3 start the fans thinned. In the next five games the 'Pack gave fans something to cheer about, winning all five. The Wolfpack lost their first three games by a total of seven points. Losing the season opener to Williamston 8-6 was a definite heart-breaker. Things didn't get any easier for the 'Pack when the Fowler Eagles came to town. Fowler walked away with a 6-2 victory. The next challenge was P- W. The Pirates squeaked by with a 15-14 victory, leaving the wounded 'Pack 0-3. Things finally turned Laingsburg's way as they wiped out Saranac (newcomer in the CMAC, along with Bath) by the score of 35-8. It was a big victory for us, it gave us confidence that we had been lacking, commented junior quarterback Jeff Thomas. Next came Homecoming, a big night for the Wolfpack. They walked away with a 12-0 shut-out over the Bath Bees. The night was highlighted by a 73 yard interception for touchdown by junior linebacker Ken Hutchings. The next three games were all victories for the 'Pack. First the Wolfpack traveled to Portland to take on St. Pats. They had a fun trip home as they whitewashed the Shamrocks 52-0. Then Laingsburg traveled to Pottcrville. The 'Pack, with inspired play in the fourth quarter, managed to pull out a 28-13 victory over the Vikings. Fulton came to town the next week and gave the fans their money's worth. In double overtime Todd Tundis ran for a touchdown and Terry Morrison bounded into the end zone for the two point conversion giving the 'Pack a thrilling 20-19 victory. The Wolfpack was dropped by Haslett 19-0 in the last game of the season, putting their record at 5-2 in the conference and 5-4 overall.

I'll say that Byron was the best game. We played well, and a lot of the kids got a chance to play. Jv Coach Tim Williams on the best game of the year. Definitely the Fow- ler game, because it was the first time the football program has beaten Fowler in several years. After a slow start, frosh and jv football provide a season of Sky High excitement all it talent, call it team work, call it good coaching. Call it what you like but they emerged winners. Both the junior varsity and freshman football ended the season 5- 3, and 4-2-1 respectively. For the junior varsity, the season was a bit suprising. After winning only two games last year as freshmen, the team came out this year and preceedcd to have a belter than .500 season. Sophomore fullback and linebacker, Andy Van Lake commented on the season. The season went well because it was a turn-around from last year. Record wise we could have done better, but we won the big game against Fowler, and it made the season easier. The jv did indeed beat Fowler in their second game of the season. At that point the 'Pack team was 2-0. Later on in the season they lost to P- W, Bath, and Haslett, while beating Saranac, Fulton and Potterville. Coach Tim Williams stated that, The boys worked hard, and we had a satisfying season. The freshman team began their season by dropping the first two games. It looked as if the team was in for a long year. But with hard work they freshman turned it around. Quarterback and defensive back Kurt Brown reiterated the same sentiment declaring, The season started out slow with a couple of bad games, but then we worked harder and had a winning season. The team, though suffering from a shortage of football playing freshmen and subs, were able to Finish 4-2-1. The freshmen agree that they should be able to improve with hard work.

But ...they made personal progress and as a team they came together better. The girls finished the regular season with a 2-18 record, and 1-14 in the CMAC. The team practices consisted mostly of working on team skills and offensive playing During the practice we worked hard and communicated well, but in the games it was harder. Our communication wasn't good at all. stated junior Peggy Kress. Each girl will remember a different game as the most memorable of the year. Senior Lisa Burt remembers The one at Districts against St. Charles, because it was my highest scoring game, and Burt added sadly and the last game we, as seniors, will be playing together. Mine was Districts against St. Charles. We really had motivation and thought we would do good, it was a close game to the very end. Then we lost. stated junior Peggy Kress.

The boy's varsity basketball team ended their regular season with a 11- 9 overall record and a 6-8 league record. Four year Coach Terry Breneman also commented about the season, “It was a semi- disappointing year.” Junior center Mike Shaw commented, I was dissapointed in basketball because we didn't do as well as I thought we could, but It's because we weren't aggressive enough. Senior point Guard Scott Danek replied, It was a lot worse than what I expected at the beginning of the season. The team began the year with two wins and four losses but bounced back and played well after that, said Breneman. The coach thought his team did poorly in the league mainly due to a very strong league, especially P-W. We might not have won a lot of games in the league, but we showed other teams we could play. . . at times, declared Danek. Breneman thought the best game was beating Perry away with one second left on the clock; Scott Danek shot and made the basket. Breneman thought the worst game was P-W when they were blown away because they were not ready to play. Shaw claimed about his best game, The first game against P-W was my best game because I finally got the ball and scored. Even though the team was disappointed in their season they placed 5th in the league and had five players named to the all league selection. Among these players were: Junior Steve Saxton- 2 d team All-League, Honorable Mention All-League to Ken Hartig, Scott Danek, Tim Bolles and Mike Shaw. Saxton also received honorable mention for all-area.

The P- W game was not considered a league match because the team beat them at the Bath Mini-Invitational and it was not considered a league game. Rayburn exclaimed, the biggest win was the win over P-W, however, the closest exciting match was against Bath when we lost 14-16, 16- 14, and 14-16. Rayburn was very pleased with the team's attitudes and their working habits. She said, I felt our record did not show how good of a team we had. Nobody gave up. Junior spiker Mcshia Caswell stated, We had a pretty good season considering the last three years.” At the end of the year the varsity squad voted for M.V.P. and M.I.P. Senior Jami Shaw was named M.V.P., and junior Lori Burt received M.I.P. Shaw and Stuht both received league honors. Stuht was selected Honorable Mention All-League snd Shaw received First team All-League as well as Honorable Mention All-Area.

That's exactly what the 1987-88 football and basketball cheerleaders did. This year the squad underwent a little reconstruction but emerged poised and ready to yell for the first game against Williamston. By June, 1987 there wasn't a squad or coach to organize one. It wasn't until Judy Wurm and Joyce Burt stepped forward that things began to fall into place. Little did they know what they had volunteered for. I spent a lot of my own time doing things with the girls outside of practice time, like when we went to both competitions; not because we placed high (although the trophies were nice!) but because we were together away from the school. It was extra time and energy but we had a lot of fun too. stated Wurm. After the board accepted their application, they organized the first team. The girls met twice a week during the summer. My cousin from Sexton came to our practices and showed us some new cheers, commented junior Jamie Bellingar. The squad decided to go to Sexton and participate in their practice. It was cool, but hard. We did a lot of sit-ups and push-ups. We learned how hard you have to practice to be good. Laveme (the coach at Sexton) made us practice with them, so when someone messed up we all paid. stated senior Mary Field. The football cheerleaders attended a competition at Central Michigan University. They learned new cheers and a dance routine. The highlight of the day was our ride home. We were mooned by some drunk guys. That put a bigger smile on our faces than when we won the two trophies! Mrs. Wurm was so shocked, you'd think. . . she saw a dead man! She also admitted that she hadn't had that happen in a long time. declared junior Valerie Dell. The varsity bascktball cheerleaders also went to competition in St. Johns. Competing was a lot of fun and we learned a lot of great new cheers. Unfortunately, it was really fast paced and we had tons to learn in just a little amount of time. explained junior Beth Baker. The football squad held a car wash, a garage and bake sale. They raised approximately $200. It was fun. Everyone started spraying each other, so by the end of the day we were all soaked. mused Field. The money was used to buy uniforms, poster board, paints and markers. The basketball cheerleaders worked together and sold Wolfpack jammin' t-shirts and boxer shorts. This money will be used to but slacks and help pay for summer camp. A Michele Baltz 100 Cheerleaders “ sucy Bradfield ■L—fnatball—cheerleaders- Back row, Co� ch Judy Wurm, Suzie Kress, Kris Teague.

Cheerleaders 101 Varsity softball team's spirits boosted sky high by successful season The varsity softball team swung into action against Williamston in their first game of the season. They played a tough game but ended in a 6-2 defeat. The loss didn't set the Wolves back for long. They continued to finish with a 12-8 overall record, and a 9-5 conference record. They demonstrated an ambitious, come- from-behind attitude. Things were looking bleak in the seventh inning of the Portland game. The 'Pack was down 9-3, but they sparked to score eight runs and take over the lead. Despite defensive efforts, Portland recovered to a 11-12 victory. Margaret Antcliff explained, We always have one inning in a game when we come togther. I think’s it's the fifth or sixth inning. After that one gets a hit and we follow in a pattern. In a similar game against P-W, the Wolves were tied until the fourth when they took off to score eight more runs and win 12- 9. The conference record placed the team third in the league behind a 10-4 Portland team, and 14-0 powerhouse Saranac team. With the official season over the 'Pack was far from done. They were now on the road to the districts. To qualify for the districts they had to win two pre- district games. The first of the games was against Flint Bentley. The Wolves pulled a strong victory with a rally in the sixth inning that produced eighteen runs on thirteen hits. The second qualifying game was against Flint Hamady 28-6. The final game of the season was against Williamston. Meshia Caswell commented, We played more as a team and came together against Williamston when we needed it. The diehard 'Pack forced the game into extra innings before they fell to a 11 -12 defeat. Disappointed with the loss, the team is looking foward to better things next year. Individual awards throughout the season included first team All -League Meshia Caswell and second team Rashaun Morrill and Margaret Antcliff. Allison Carr received Honorable Mention All -League.

Varsity baseball has high hopes for season 1989 A Stacy Bradficld between games to discuss their fielding. The team placed third in the CMAC. It was a season with hopes for another conference championship and regaining a district title. But with the loss of last year's six starting seniors, this year's team was young and relatively inexperienced. The season was quite a bit better than I expected, we lost a lot of seniors last year. I am very happy for the young guys we had. They really improved a lot. said Coach Larry McDonald. The varsity team ended its season with an overall record of 11- 7, and a disappointing 8-6 in conference action, which put the team in third place behind Fowler and Potterville. One pleasant surprise of the season was the team's hitting ability. ...We really hit the ball! It was surprising to have nine players hitting over .300. said McDonald. Along with the team's excellent hitting, McDonald stated that they also played good defense. The biggest weak spot on the team this year was pitching. Our pitching was probably the weakest. We had four underclassmen pitching their first varsity games this season. said McDonald. The varsity team lost their first pre-district game this season, to Lansing Catholic Central 9-3. After the game, Assistant Coach Jim Shaw said, We were hitting, but they seemed to go right to their (Catholic Central) fielders. Several team members received All-League awards this season. Senior Troy Shaw and junior Jamie Hagerty received first team All-League. Juniors Jon Cecil and Terry Morrison were awarded second team All-League, and senior Tim Bolles and junior Zack Schiebner received Honorable Mention All-League. Most valuable player went to Shaw, and most improved player went to Schiebner. Senior Todd Tundis was team captain for the 1988 season. The outlook for next year's season is promising, according to McDonald. I think we should have a good team. We have a lot of starting players returning. I'm pretty high on them, it should be a little better season. We just need to work on pitching. A Heather Stuht A Stacy Bradficld Concentrate!. Junior Jamie Hagerty keeps his eye on the ball.

We had a lot of team effort, but our heads just weren't in the games. commented freshman Angie Smith. Freshman Stacy Gray stated, It was fun, and we all tried, but some of us just didn't have the talent or skills. I think our biggest problem was defense, we made a lot of errors. The girls said that they were looking forward to next year, and thought that with more work they should have a better season. The junior varsity baseball team fared better than the girls', fortunately. The team closed the season with a 7-9-1 overall record, and 7-9-1 in the conference. We improved a lot from the beginning of the season. Our defense really came together in the second half of the year. said jv coach, Bert Wagner. Sophomore Chad Morley said, We played pretty well in conference games, but in non- conference we should have done better. It was below what I expected because we lost a lot of close games due to errors. declared freshman John Sailer. I didn’t think our season was as good as it could have been. The practices just didn't seem organized and I think it carried over into the games. said freshman Matt Eggleston, I think we had good pitching, but we need to work on fielding and batting. Sailer and Morley agreed that the best part of the season was the win against St. Pats. It was great when we swept St. Pats in a doubleheader at St. Pats.” said Sailer. The St. Pats game was the best because we beat our rivals at their field. commented Morley. Wagner also commented that sophomore Chad Louth's consistency in pitching helped the team.

The girls' team acquired a winning 6-2 overall record, and 4-1 in the CMAC, and second place in the conference behind Fowler. I think we did quite well. But I think we could have done better. We had the people to beat Fowler, we just didn't pull it out. commented sophomore Caryn Knapp, I really thought we'd be closer to Fowler this year. The team also managed to do quite well at invitationals, placing fourth at the Potterville Invitational and sixth at the Fulton Invitational. The two- mile relay team of sophomore Becky Hawes, junior Jamie Bcllingar, senior Heather Stuht, and freshman Jenny Stuht qualified for the prestigious Lansing State Journal Meet held at Sexton. Jenny Stuht also qualified to run in the open 880 there, and placed third. This year the team qualified a relay team and an individual to the State Finals, held June 4th, in Alma. The girls' were Hawes, Bcllingar, Stuht, and Stuht of the two-mile relay team. The team placed eleventh out of twenty -two teams. Jenny Stuht also ran the open 800, and placed sixth with a 2.22.

In the CMAC the team was fourth with a 2-3 record. Overall as a team we have shown steady improvement', times came down quite a bit. said boys’ coach, Tim Williams, Our team being so young, I didn't know what to expect. But they really came along. Two major highlights of the season for the boys' was the tight conference win over Fulton, and the first place trophy received by the 440 relay team at the Potterville Invitational. That relay team consisted of junior Mike Shaw, senior Brad Hawes, senior Dan Brown, and junior Edwin Rose. Like the girls' team, the boys' also qualified four runners to the State Finals. These four competed in the 880 relay, and were Brad Hawes, Mike Shaw, junior Kevin Payne, and Edwin Rose. In the CMAC, Mike Shaw was first team All-Conference in the 200 meter run. Second team All- Conference winners were; junior Kevin Payne in the long jump.

From these sports, you can gain more than just experience, skill, the ability to communicate, and the importance of teamwork. You can also receive a varsity letter. After meeting certain requirements and receiving a varsity letter, you have the privilege of joining the varsity club. This year the varsity club was organized by Mrs. Kris Rayburn and Mrs. Cindy Mickevicius. Together they formed a new club. Joining the boys' varsity club and girls' varsity club was one of the main reasons the club was such a success. stated Rayburn. The varsity club participated in more activities this year than in the past. The size of the group doubled. This made it easier to run activities and be successful. The varsity club worked freshmen basketball concession stands. With this money, they were able to purchase water bottles for the sports teams. The group also organized a pep assembly and senior-faculty basketball game. The pep assembly was during sixth hour on Friday, April 8, 1988. The assembly helped to raise spirit among the classes and promoted the game. The assembly consisted of contests such as: licorice eating contest, whipped cream contest, and a shaving cream contest. The junior class and sophomore class tied for first place with 18 points each. The senior and freshmen classes tied for second place with 15 points. That evening, the school faculty were the victors over the seniors 60-53. The game was held at Laingsburg High School's Giffels Field House. Camie Haughton, referee, stated after the game, It went a lot better than I had anticipated. Overall both teams played fairly and everyone played the game and had fun while doing it. Coach Herder exclaimed, With a team of all stars, how could we lose? At half time of the game, the club sponsored a shoot-out. If your number was called you had one chance to make a 3 point shot. Joey Dickson won the contest. For his winning shot, he received a coupon for Nick's Pizza. Over $200.00 was taken in from the basketball game. A portion of the proceeds were donated to the Special Olympics. Next year all members will attend all meetings. said Rayburn. There will be stricter requirements to stay in the club, and we'd like to offer more activities for next year. A Jamie Bellingar A Carrie Smith Eat faster!

This fantasy is not as far-fetched as you may think. All dreams have the possibility of coming true, and this wish can get its start right here at Laingsburg High. The first step in making your fantasy come true is to join the video club. There is no better way to get involved in movie cameras and vcr's. Not only will you learn how to operate the equipment, but you'll get an education of what happens behind the scenes. While you're receiving a base education for your career, you will receive five dollars per sporting event from the athletic fund. Think of this as your first paying job in the movies. As part of the video club, you will film a variety of events including boys freshmen, j.v., and varsity football and basketball. The girls events include j.v. and varsity basketball and volleyball. At the beginning of the season, the coaches are asked which games they'd like taped. Most coaches choose league games and games at the beginning of the season so they can review them with their players to see what they're doing wrong, states director John Marsh. The second step in making your dream come true is to take retailing class. Retailing will help you in the business world. Senior Candy Churchill explains Retailing will teach you how to plan a business and make business decisions. It could really help you after high school if you were going into that field. If you become a successful actor actress you're going to need to know how to invest your fortune and manage it properly. If you can make business decisions on your own, you will save yourself money that would otherwise go towards fees for legal consultants. In the long run, you will be thankful that you chose to take advantage of the opportunities high school gave you. A Jamie Bellingar Business is booming.

Steinatal, West Germany? Thirteen families in Laingsburg had personal experience with geography this year as the foreign exchange club moved into high gear as hosts this year. Nives Hajdin arrived in August and lived with Sarah Steere's family for the entire year. Everything is so big! Everyone is so friendly, exclaimed Nives after a few weeks. Yugoslavia seemed a long way away as the months moved forward. Nives immersed herself in sports, and school. As a member of the volleyball team, she contributed her spiking abilities and she soon became an achiever academically in her classes. Diane Herder stated, I think Nives was the most academically motivated of all the foreign exchange students we have ever had. On March 26, 1988 as other students were heading for Florida or spring vacation spots, twelve families were meeting new friends at Detroit Metro Airport. Students and German sports teacher, Heike Helmes, arrived for a three week stay from Melanchthon-Schule in West Germany. Field trips included a three day stay at the Palmer House in Chicago visiting museums and attending plays, Detroit Institute of Art, Lansing Community College. Kathy Holcomb, junior, noted that the Chicago skyline seemed like Christmas with the lights stretched on forever from the Sears Tower at night. Parents also transported their individual students to such places as Canada, Niagra Falls and Mackinac Island. A two week visit during classes meant opportunities to play music with the band, write for the newspaper and review mathematics and science. A breakfast of croissants, orange juice and tears bade the German students good-bye on April 18. Faculty and students used the home economics room to express last farewells until Pat Rosenquist brought the yellow school bus to return the students to Detroit and their flight home.

Foreign Exchange 117- FFA aims high and receives state recognition fn unning the FFA is not 1% an easy task for Mr. Graham to do by himself. He needs a good aide to help him organize everything and do odd jobs. commented Mike Hagerty (sophomore). That is why the school employed Mrs. Brown. She is very helpful in organizing the barn and greenhouse and helps individuals prepare for competition. The FFA program is also very active in competition. Mr. Graham, with the help of his Ag classes, won the Michigan Farm Bureau Discussion Meet. The Discussion is composed of a panel of four speakers who are allowed approximately eight minutes to speak on four topics. His placing first in this meet enabled him to proceed to national competition where he placed a prestigious second. He also recieved a 10-day Hawaiian vacation and a new tractor. Chad LaDuke (sophomore) commented We [the Ag classes] are very proud of Mr. Graham for placing first in the state Meet and second in the national Meet. The Laingsburg FFA participated in school activities such as the slave sale, state and national conferences, and has been responsible for the court yard in the center of the school. Thanks to the FFA, the court yard has been enhanced with the planting and maintenence of fruit trees. The FFA also sponsored many other activities during the year. One of the most popular was the baby chick raising and sale of the chicks. They have also raised baby pigs and sold them. Individuals, such as Mark Koonter, Chad LaDuke, Mike Hagerty, Jon Arthur, and Chris Pankner contributed greatly to the success of the Ag program. Jon Arthur (sophomore) stated The Ag program is a big part of my education. I work on a farm and it really helped me. Mark Koonter (sophomore) commented The ag program has been a very educational program and has been a great help to me personally. A Vince Beeman A Sucy Bradficld Do 1 hear $100?

Student journalism the outer regions soars into of awards Bzzzzzzzzzz. Your alarm goes off at six o’clock Saturday morning. You drag yourself out of bed and drive to school. You ask yourself, Why me? Why did I have to join Publications? Yes Publications, the great horror of school. Publications is a journalism class that publishes the school newspaper, Ui£_______Informer and the Looking Glass yearbook. Students of the class have individual jobs to complete each term. They must complete yearbook pages and work on the newspaper. Their jobs arc not over once the bell rings to dismiss class. After class they have to interview people, write the story, type it out on the computer, and then correct it over and over again until it is to the standards of Mrs. Herder, the class advisor. There's always work to do. If you slack off for one day your work piles up, stated Jennifer McMaster, junior. But students have learned from this class; My writing skills has improved because of writing stories, explains Nivcs Hajdin, senior. Statewide region awards were earned by many of the students. Lori Burt, junior received first place in Illustration and Informative Graphics. Carrie Smith, senior, accepted first place for On Site Photo Competition. Mrs. Herder, the class advisor accepted the Golden Pen award on April 22, 1988. In the spring of 1988, students in the class participated in the slave auction. Students who arc bought must work eight hours and be paid by the hour, at least minimum wage. The money then goes to the class for the yearbook and other expenses. A Karen Sailer ♦ STE T Mmmm._______delicious! On November 12. two hours before parem teacher conferences, the publications staff gathered in the home economics room. Each student was stationed at a specific job. Some mixed, some fried, and others frosted. My job was to frost and put nuts on the donuts. They were delicious, and I had a hard time trying not to eat them. I hope the parents enjoyed them as much as I did,” commented Karen Sailer. 120 Publications Speech, speech And this years winner of the golden pen award is... Mrs. Diane Herder. Each year the Golden pen award is given to only one advisor in the state of Michigan. By obtaining this award you can be considered as the top advisor. stated Kathy Holcomb, editor in chief. Each year the students of the class nominate their advisor by submitting a portfolio of qualifications to MIPA. These include previous awards, experiences, jobs, work quality, and letters of reccomendation. Splash! Stacy Bradfield.

Two events were attended by the council this year -- a conference at Kalamazoo Community College on March 18, and a St. Johns assembly featuring David Toma, a well -known speaker against substance abuse. Mclisa Hutchings (freshman) felt the conference motivated everyone. The assembly was also a powerful experience. The annual talent show was not presented this year, due .to a lack of participation at dress rehearsals. It was a disappointment to see that our student body has a lack of interest in participating in school activities, revealed Lori Burt (junior). The year overall looked good, but it came with a few disappointments, stated Mike Holcomb (junior). Quiz bowl offers a chance for students to exercise their minds through competitiop. The team participated in • three separate events -- WFUM's (Channel 28) High School Challenge, an Alma College tournament, and an academic league. The team was defeated in the first round in both the WFUM and Alma matches, but It [the WFUM match] was a valuable experience, commented Michele Baltz (junior). Although, she admitted, I was nervous. I didn't want to look at the camera... Fellow team mates expressed the same sentiment. League action (which includes such schools as Perry, Bath, Haslett, and Owosso) was much more exciting. The final record was only 4-10, but many matches were heartbreakers... lost only by a matter of one or two questions, according to Mary Barnes, coach. She felt the season went well, as the team finished eighth of ten teams.

Student Council 123 'mm® Pep explodes as band takes action! It was a cold night and people had gathered at the football field. The crowd roared and cheered! The excitement spread across the stands. The agility, precision and celerity of these teams awed the spectators. They were shaking it down, to the funkiest beat in town, and they had the rhythm of their feet jamming to the beat. What could this be? The pom-pon and flag corps! Pom-pons was a lot of fun but, the intensity of the practices was too much for me! We spent so much time during practices I was always tired afterwards. commented Julie Hobbs (senior). She continued that If I wasn’t graduating this year, I would most definitely want to come back next year. Pom-pons does have its advantages . . . since I was a pom- pon, I didn't have to march with my saxophone, which didn't bother me one bit, exclaimed Michelle Spencer (junior). Along with the pom-pons for entertainment there were also the flag girls. The swirls and twirls of the flag corp have improved this year. Maybe it's because of the new flags and uniforms they received. Tina Mund (senior) thinks that the flags arc a good improvement. The flag girls practice an hour to an hour and a half each day. They also perform at half time of the varsity football games. These long practices usually paid off and we were pleased with the routines, replied Mund. Some Friday nights were chilly but, we enjoyed every minute!

The Laingsburg High School Chapter has been active since 1968 and membership since then totals approximately 234 students. Members are selected upon four categories: scholarship, (grade point has to be at least 3.0), character, leadership and service. Each category is judged independently. This year the new members were selected by the committee of teachers: Doris Noblin, Bill Morley, Kris Rayburn, Mary Barnes and Gene Graham. The committee is changing every year. This year Aileen Robertson became the new NHS advisor. Mrs. Condon asked me to take over and I thought it would be good to have a club like this. A Scott PowelKMi Finally a break. Advisor Aileen Robertson checks to see how things are going at the Blood Drive. 126 NHS V Ipir Dj® ett Mil tailed kim DwIl® flg ! she explained. Twenty-seven new members were inducted in NHS this year. The students are aware of the stiff requirements, so they make more effort to become NHS students. NHS is a recognition of the student who is good academically, shows leadership and community service. It will help them in the future for application for college or for job. Mrs. Robertson added. On October 2, 1987, the students were selected during a tapping ceremony. The old members gave each new member an envelope with an invitation to the induction ceremony. Sarah Stccre '89 explained, Before Mamie Wagner tapped my shoulder I was very nervous, but after my name was announced, 1 fell relief. On October 21, 1987, the new members had to dress up for the day and wear a Dunce Cap. Scott Danek '88 commented, I thought it was a ridiculous idea that has nothing to do with NHS. Sarah Stecre thought the dunce cap is cute. I have it hanging on my wall along with all the signatures. If the students wanted the signatures they had to do everything they were told. I had to sing 'Old McDonald had a farm' and say the alphabet backwards. stated John Morbcrg '88. NHS organized the blood drive on November 10,1987. There were a lot of people who came to give blood. Our goal was 60 and we got 84. explained Anne Rowley, NHS president. The NHS is also planning Honor's Night at the end of the school year. The teachers will then give awards to their best students. A Nives Hajdin Is it going to hurt? The nurse checks principal Carl Clarke's blood pressure as he prepares to give blood at the NHS annual blood drive. I'm not a DUNCE!

Whal a busy year! The students had a chal- lenging year. It began like a normal school year, with the teachers handing out books, class syllabi, and homework. But then it happened. The teachers threatened to strike if negotiations didn't improve. Students waited but a contract settlement was made and the year continued as before. In a few days it seemed that the school was filled with student teachers from MSU. They were all hard working individuals who found out what teaching was all about. They also got to try some of their teaching techniques. As the student teachers were adjusting to the school, the varsity football team won the home- A Carrie Smith Musit_____La__mv cars. After finishing her final, Peggy Kress (junior) helped Mr. Williams, by taking the text books to the library while listening to her Walkman. coming game against Bath. In the halls, there were other kinds of contest during the homecoming week. People dressed up in red and white campaigning for king and queen candidates. On homecoming night, the excite- ment was in the air. Who will win the float contest? The sophomores did. Who will become king and queen? Brad Hawes and Allison Carr were the astonished couple. Brad and Allison weren't the only astonished people, the DALMAC (Dick Allen Lansing to Mackinac) bike trip boosted the confidence of three students: Scott Danek, Paul Danek and Stacy Bradficld. Their awesome will- power enabled them to pedal over two hundred miles in five days. The freshmen were also put under a test, but a different kind then that of the DALMAC crew. The freshmen football players were turned into slaves by the varsity football players. ll computes! After completing their computer program, Vince Bccman (sophomore), Scott Placeway (junior), Fred Foster (junior) and Mike Holcomb (junior) hook the computer to a color tv monitor to see their programin full color. Burgtr___Kins__slvls__burgers, On the last day for seniors. Bill Swarthoul, Cheri Bcrenbrinker and Dave Wilson help grill some hamburgs for their food's class. They were allowed to take care of the varsity players lunch trays, tie their shoes and once in a while the freshmen were force to say ’’May I leave the table, sir? before he stood up to take care of his own lunch tray. As the freshmen were taking care of lunch trays, FFA and Publications were packing for a trip to Kansas City, MO. The FFA members stopped in Chicago on their way. They visited the Chicago Merchantile Exchange and Sears Tower. They heard lectures given by George Bush and Lee laccoca. The publications group attended the NSPA JEA national student journalist seminars and contests while in Kansas City. There they met other award winning publication classes. They got to hear the president of U. S. A . Todav and other speakers. On November 10, the National Honors Society held a Red Cross blood drive. They raised over 80 pints of blood. To add to the hustle of things, during the last hour of first semester final exams, an anon- ymous caller reported a bomb hidden somewhere in the school. There was hardly any snow on the ground, but because it was so cold, a group of people, lead by Mrs. Torra, visited the Laingsburg continued on pg. 160 A Mike Mahoney Closing 159 continued from p 159 Public Library while police looked for the bomb. The teeth chattering continued even after the students were in the warm building because of the parent-teacher conferences. It was the first time that the school held a mock school day. It gave the parents a chance to see what their children were doing during the day and gave the teachers a chance to talk to the parents about their students. The mock school day also gave the parents report cards before the kids. Report cards aren't the only thing that made people uneasy. The thought of cutting back on most of the programs and school hours frightened many people. The 30.83 millage didn't pass tne first time in April. But then the school's luck changed, the yes” vote committee worked hard to make it clear to people what will happen to the school system if there wasn’t enough money. June 13 brought in a record number of voters, about 1400. The millage passed and the school system was able to breathe easier. The problems of 1986 senior trip weren't repeated in 1988, so the adults could breathe easier. The senior trip went smoothly and everybody had fun. The 30 seniors visited Virginia. They stopped at Busch Gardens and Jamestown. The school was closely watching two of the teachers. Both of them were pregnant. They both had their babies toward the end of the year and a month apart. Mrs. Busby, the math teacher, had hers on May 8 and Mrs. Robertson had hers on June 6. Graduation was a day of good- bye to high school life. Some seniors who were on the senior trip sang the seniors class song, I've had the time of my life, while a mysterious beach ball was tossed back and forth among the graduates. Walking back down the aisle, the juniors gave the seniors their roses and a hug. And the seniors gave them their gifts. Yes! 1 made it!” ricocheted off the walls as the students cleaned out their lockers and headed home for the summer. There were a few who weren't as lucky. The drivers cd students got their first chance behind the wheel of a car. Some of the yearbook staff members were sweating out the heat while finishing the last thirty pages of the yearbook. While the boy and girl staters head off to MSU and CMU, respectively. Many ambitious students worked summer jobs. But for most the summer drought meant tanned bodies for fall.
