Le-Hi ’ Leipsic High School 232 Oak Street Leipsic, Ohio 45856 Student Life 2 Clubs 21 Seniors 43 Sports 51 Teachers 73 Underclassmen 79 Junior High 89 Elementary 99 Advertising 113 Volume 35 “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. Tension ran high at the district game 2 Student Life Student Life 3 We are the sum total of our experiences and these experiences make up the best times and the worst times of our lives. It is, in the end, the best of times for most. In some instances it doesn't appear to be the best; however, as Charles Dickens rightfully observed, it is the combination of the wise and the foolish, the despair and the hope, the winning and the losing that make up the positive degree of our lives. One can experience both sides of life. The decision as to whether this is the best or the worst of times depends on one's perspective, self-confidence, and openness. Other people also play an important role in this decision by giving their love and support; yet in the end we make our own way to determine how we play out our life. Student Life 5 Kathy Johnson s Everyone, at some point, experiences the worst of times. Who wants to be an adolescent again? There are the traumas of dating or worse — not dating, pimples, overprotective parents, and demanding teachers. Yet, at graduation when it's time to move on to adulthood, many graduates seem finally to grasp the importance of their high school years. The tear-stained faces reflect an age lost; the innocence of youth passed by. Now they recognize that no matter in what age one lives, right here, right now — these are the best of times. 6 Student Life Student Life 7 In the following pages the Le-Hi staff will attempt to reflect on the good as well as the frustrating aspects that comprise the year at LHS. When we look back on the past year, we remember the sea of daily passes, the countless compositions, as well as the endless forms. But for the most part our spirit rises above the trivial existence of everyday and soars with the hopes and fantasies of our dreams. Student Life 9 HOMECOMING The 1985 Homecoming featured the crowning of Deb Alt. Her court consisted of Kathy Binger, Alysia Fox, Leslie Crawford, and Chris Niese. The Viking Brass played for the procession of the court. They then entertained the crowd at halftime with a rendition of 50's songs. The band dressed their parts with poodle skirts and greased back hair. The build up to the night's festivities was preceeded by a spirit-filled week. On Monday Todd Pfister came dressed in the only NFL toga. Punk rockers invaded Leipsic High on Tuesday. Sun, sand, and grass skirts decked the halls on Wednesday as the student body went Hawaiian. School colors were visible on Thursday and on Friday everyone came to school dressed in their best to wish the team well in their game against Hardin Northern. The evening concluded with a dance sponsored by the Junior class.

The participants in the parade marched through the streets of Leipsic with the costume judging taking place on Main Street. As tradition dictated the Halloween court was selected by the members of the senior class. The court then served as officials of the parade after they enjoyed a dinner at Maag's. Town officials and their wives judged the costumed participants. One of the most creative groups in costume was the seniors who dressed to represent the Halloween court in the year 2035. For their efforts they won first place in the funniest group category. The Viking Brass entertained the spectators as the contestants marched in the streets. Many of the band members dressed in 50's costumes to add to the festive mood of the night. Halloween 1 FLORIDA TRIP Seniors Enjoy The Sun These three think they're south of the border The magic castle sets the scene ■■■ 14 Senior Trip Karen Walls will take to any bird Mickey joins in the fun Forty-one members of the Senior class counted the days for their departure to Florida fun and sun. The group, along with Chaperones Mr. and Mrs. Dewar and Mr. ana Mrs. Lambert, departed for Detroit airport on Saturday, March 22. For many, this was a first trip in an airplane. Bill Berger made sure he knew where his “barf bag” was stored. The initial day in Florida was mainly used for rest” and relaxation. Seniors did a variety of activities from shopping, riding the trolly, to journeying to the Kennedy Space Center. The group toured Epcot Center and Lake Buena Vista Village on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, they enjoyed the slides at Wet-n-Wild. They saw Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World and the partied in the sun at Daytona Beach on Thursday and Friday. Also, Friday evening the Seniors were entertained at the Once Upon a Stage Dinner Theater. Saturday they saw Shamu at Sea World. In addition to the planned activities, the Seniors came up with improvised fun. It was essential for self-defense that each Senior be armed with a water pistol. For many, it was un to ride the elevators. Shelly Fackler found the frequent stops to be hilarious. The Seniors arrived back in Leipsic early Easter morning filled with memories of Florida.

The scene was set with a trellised walkway, a gazebo, a park bench, and a swing. The dancing started at 8:00 with the DJ, Sound Wave, providing a variety of music. At 9:30 Kelly Lammers and Doug Fenbert were crowned Queen and King. The King, Queen, and the Senior class officers then started the buffet. The dancing ended at midnight with the Juniors and Seniors scattering to their own individual parties to continue the festivities.

The Seniors marched up in their purple and gray caps and gowns to the band's rendition of Pomp and Circumstance. Those assembled then recognized the people who retired this year: Mr. Dean, Mr. Lenhart, and Mrs. Julie Dewar. Kim Meyer, the salutatorian, spoke on Sweet Nostalgia. The valedictorian, Diane Schroeder, challenged the Seniors in their Prospective Outlooks. Rev. Robinson, of the Church of Christ, was the featured speaker. The Senior Ensemble then sang Don't Forget the Yesterdays. Proud parents looked on as Mrs. Dewar, the Senior class advisor, spoke of her relationship to the class of 1986. After much anticipation the Seniors then were awarded their diplomas by the members of the school board. Following the benediction the Seniors filed out to face the challenges of their world. Diane Schroeder challenged the class to meet the future Seniors salute the flag Class advisor Mrs. Dewar reflects on the fond memories of the class Featured speaker — Rev. Robinson Butch Schroeder and Bill Berger anxiously await their diplomas Crutches can't hinder Rob Lieb as he receives his diploma Graduation 'V Mr. Dean guided LHS for twelve years He gave the educators leadership Mr. James D. Dean retired as superintendent of Leipsic Local Schools. During his years at LHS he was actively involved with such projects as asbestos studies, major roof repair, window and door replacement, promotion of school levies, and general advancement of our educational system. Mr. Dean has been involved in education for 34 years. Before taking the position at Leipsic in 1974, he had been superintendent of Grand Rapids (1963-68) and North Baltimore (1968-74) schools. Mr. Dean believes that every student is different in abilities, intelligence, and attitude and it is the responsibility of education to provide an environment which brings out the best of these traits. 20 Superintendent Retires Whether by phone or in person, Mr. Dean communicated well A good sense of humor is essential for a job well done VIKING BRASS STEPS TO THEIR OWN BEAT TROMBONES: Row 1: Mike Metzger, Maxine Schroeder, Scott Pfister Row 2: Lori Wagner, Annette Tooman, Tina McCullough, Eric Steingass DRUM MAJOR: Jodi Myers 22 Band DRUMS: Row 1: Kathy Osborn, Cindi Franks, Todd Pfister, Gary Vance, Rob Franks, Darrell Walther, Lorissa Meyer, Gina Kuhlman, Niese, Angi Schroeder, Dennis Fox Row 2: Marc Briseno, Stephanie Susan Metzger TRUMPETS: Row 1: Michelle Valdez, Valerie Dunstan, Amy Alt- Troy Gillespie, Julie Wagner, David Muller Row 4 Tony Flores, Rod man, Becky Gonzalez Row 2: Rolando Valdez, Leann Christman, Lieb, Brian Wolverton Laura Cupp, Michelle Schey, Jane Lammers, Kathy Keeran Row 3: Band 23 BARITONES TUBA: Row 1: Brian Rayle, Alysia Fox Row 2: Andy Flores, Dennis Thomas, Majorettes give up their batons for poodle Michael Solis skirts for '50's Night Kathy and Angi start on the right note MAJORETTES: Tricia Nuveman, Jetty Hile, Marcia Kreinbrink, Becky Steingass, Lori Spitnale HORNS: Row 1: David Robinson, Ann Fackler Row 2: Valerie Simon, Angie Rayle, Elise Grunkemeyer, Jill Kuhlman, Karen Holl 24 Band PEP BAND: Row 1: Andy Flores, Tony Flores, David Robinson, Tim Roy, Karen Holl Row 2: Becky Gonzalez, Amy Altman, Todd Pfister, Valerie Simon, Dennis Thomas Row 3: David Muller, Laura Cupp, Rod Lieb, Lori Wagner, Gary Niese, Gina Kuhlman, Julie Wagner, Jodi Myers, Jane Lammers, Kathy Keeran, Michael Solis Row 4: Eric Steingass, Annette Tooman 6TH GRADE BAND: Row 1: Kelly Dunstan, Ruth Rodriguez, Jamie Hernandez, Kori Keck, Carey Schey Row 2: Erin Christman, Kim Steffan, Debbie Schnipke, Crystal Place, Abby Osborn, Shawn Sterling Row 3: Nina Badertscher, Ann Settlemire, Eric Russell, Ann Kuhlman, Misty Berry Row 4.

Love Mom Dad Happy Ads 47 The Senior year held special meaning for the students that had worked twelve long years to graduate. Most graduates considered the Senior year to be the most fun. This was the year when they gained the prestige of ruling the underclassmen. They also were allowed to have more freedoms by working half days in the DECA or Work Study programs. A few of the seniors tend to be nostalgic about leaving the halls of LHS, but most knew that more good times would greet them as they met the challenges of today's world.

No, people should have a choice. It should be up to the individual whether or not to wear it. If the government imposes it — it would be too much government involvement. No, the government should not have the right to choose for you. It should be your choice — isn't it your life? No, it's too much government in society and they can't really enforce it. Ves, it would save some lives. No, because they are a pain in the neck. Yes, because there is a law. No, because that's taking away some of our rights. No, it's someone's own choice if they want to wear it or not — or die or not. No, people won't wear them and it's just another thing to get stopped for.

No, they need to raise funds for educational purposes first, then after that's done, then raise funds for sports. Yes, if we all stay together. The school system will have a difficult time surviving the budget cut, the athletics should be cut before academics. (Taxes should be paid on a basis of income.) Yes, get rid of the teachers that aren't doing their jobs. If someone won the lottery give the money to the school. If they spend their money wisely. Yes. Money should not get in the way of supporting one's school. A good community would back up their school 100%. They have to survive because people need education. My suggestion is to never vote down a levy when needed. A good education always wins in the end. I don't believe we can pass it without the levy. We must get people awake to the situation. Yes — borrow it from the state. I think that if they tried hard enough they could. If they would conserve more than they do, they might be able to make it.

Yes, prayer should be voluntary but time should not be taken out of the day. If they want to pray on their own time (S.H.) that will be fine. No. School is a place to learn and study for a good education. I feel prayers should be said at home and in the church. Yes, but not required. No, if people want to pray it can be somewhere else. For the people who believe differently it would be an infringement upon their rights. Every man's rights end where another's begin, so on that it shouldn't be allowed. Yes, I think prayer should be allowed on a volunteer basis because religion is a personal choice and it helps to make a day go better. Yes as long as it doesn't bother anyone else. No, people do not need to pray in school. Let them do it on their own time. Yes. If a school would have time for silent prayer, then anyone could pray to whomever they want.

Storm the planes as quickly as possible. They shouldn't back down — stay tough. Blow ’em up. I would like to see the terriorists handled sternly, to show that their way of fighting is wrong and won't be tolerated by other countries of the world. Show no mercy. Very carefully. Give in for the safety of the hostages. They should retaliate with all force needed. Kill them all. SHOULD STUDENTS WHO HAVE A.I.D.S. BE BANNED FROM ATTENDING SCHOOL? No, as long as it can't be spread physically. No, if people are so scared of getting A.I.D.S. they should stay away from the A.I.D.S. person. Students should be kept from school but have special tutors, they are a threat to the well being of other students. I don't know — but I wouldn't want to get them.

If there is even the slightest way a person can catch it, I say no because public safety on the whole is more important. Yes, so they don't infect the rest of the normal people. No, they have a right to a normal life too. No, it is everyone's right to attend a public institution. They should have seperate but equal water fountains. You should not jeopardize the health of others. No, that is discriminating. From the research now available, casual contact is no major problem. No, they should not be excluded. You can't get the disease by touching them and it's unfair to deprive them of an education. No, because A.I.D.S. victims have the same choices to go to school as other students. ASSUME THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO CHANGE ONE POLICY CURRENTLY IN EFFECT AT L.H.S. WHAT RULE, POLICY, OR REGULATION WOULD YOU CHANGE OR ABOLISH?

If not an open lunch, there should be more places the students could gather outside the school building, instead of being in a closed area. Change the radio station channel tuned in the office. Change the smoking policy. Let the Seniors graduate early. I think Seniors should be able to park beside the school and not underclassmen. Abolish the P.D.A. rule. Smoking, if the teachers do it, why can't we? No exams. Change the fog day policy so we don't have to go after 3:04. Provide a room for student smokers. Open lunch. Exam scheduling. Why be here if you are not going to do anything? WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEACHER? A teacher who explains themselves and is firm but fair. 1QHN R.

A matter of choice is involved, but how can someone choose. It should be illegal because murder is murder. If they don't want the kid, give it to someone who does. Yes, because if they didn't have the clinics they would have someone else kill their baby and maybe it might kill them too. No, because they're dealing with more than one life. Yes, the women should have the choice. That's a hard question, on one hand I don't believe that abortion is right at all! But, on the other hand there are certain few cases that must result in emotional disturbance or impaired health for the mother. Your guess is as good as mine. My wife wouldn't ever have one unless absolutely necessary. Abortion should not be legal, it's murder. 1 think it should be a matter of individual choice, but I also think alot of restrictions should be placed on it. Abortions today are too easy to get and they are often the easy way out of a pregnancy. No, abortion is murdering and since no one can get away murdering people, they shouldn't get away with abortions. CARL A.

The Viking harriers finished a superb season with seventy-one wins and only nineteen defeats. The Vikes had many outstanding team performances as well as several excellent individual efforts during the season. As a team, the Vikes placed second in the PCL meet and came in fourth out of eighteen teams at the District meet. Individually, there were two runners who especially shined this year. Mondo Tijerina placed third in the Regional meet and twenty-seventh at the State run-off. Angie Rayle finished tenth in the Regionals and fifty-first at State. Those receiving honors were: Doug Haselman, 1st team PCL and the Viking Award; Mondo Tijerina, 1st team PCL and Most Valuable Runner; Mike Feldman, 2nd team PCL; and, Karen Weis, Most Improved Runner.

Mr. Phillips, former assistant coach at Lima Perry began his career as head coach for the Viking Squad. The team had a rocky season with the final outcome of two wins and eight losses. The high point of the year was the 18-6 victory over the Van Buren Knights. The Vikes took advantages of the Van Buren mistakes to gain the victory. Leipsic had six players that received post season honors. Jeff Fenbert was selected to the first team BVC as free-safety and second team split-end. Dale Niese was chosen as second team linebacker. Todd Pfister, Mike Fenbert, Isaac Barrientes, and Scott Mangas all received Honorable Mention in the BVC. Jeff Fenbert and Dale Niese also received All District Special Mention. Team awards included Most Valuable Lineman: Jeff Fenbert; Most Valuable Back: Scott Mangas; and the Viking Award: Dale Niese. The success of the 1985 football squad came through the sweat, sacrifice, determination, and hard work of each player.

It was the first time in 26 years that a Leipsic boys' basketball team had been that successful in tournament play. Seven seniors provided the necessary leadership for this success. In two years, they compiled an enviable 31-14 record. This group worked hard at being successful and did what was necessary to be a winner. All the players are to be commended for their winning efforts this year. It was a season to be remembered for a long time in the community. — Coach Coletta Individually, the Vikes received numerous awards in both leagues as well as the district competition.

Cheerleading proved to be a time and energy consuming activity. Starting after try-outs in the spring, the new squads gathered to choose shoes, outfits, and emblems. During the summer the junior varsity and varsity squads attended Bluffton College's cheerleading camp, bringing home several superior awards plus the 'Best in Cheering' award. The cheerleaders continued the traditional spirit week of costumes and team spirit during Homecoming festivities. At the onset of basketball season the demands of the cheerleaders increased. During the season the girls became involved with pom pom routines and frequent games. Players had secret cheerleaders from whom they received good luck candies. Cupid hit the halls of LHS and the teams received balloons and stuffed animals. Varsity players enjoyed a dinner at Maag's Hotel the evening before the Ft. Jennings game. In addition to sponsoring this supper, the cheerleaders gave players carnations before their tournament games. Seniors will have these memories locked up to cherish forever with scrapbooks made by the varsity squad. The cheerleaders helped to raise the spirit of the team as well as the fans this year.

Even though our final reecord said 10 wins and 11 losses, we were very competitive in every game and defeated a few highly ranked teams. This club of four seniors and six juniors can be proud of the hard work and dedication that they put into each practice and game. 1 know they will never forget the famous phrase, 'On the Wall.' — Coach Kreinbrink One of the girls' most exciting games was Ft. Jennings. The Muskateers were defeated for the first time in three years on their home court by the Lady Vikings. It was considered a great upset in the Girls' PCL action. The Vikings also participated in the Ayersville Holiday Tournaments, receiving third place. The girls were defeated in first round play at the Ottawa-Glandorf Sectional Tournament by Kalida. Those girls receiving honors were: Kelly Lammers 2nd team PCL, 2nd team BVC, All Northwest Ohio, District 8 All Star Game East Squad, All Tourney Team Member at the Ayersville Tournaments; Marcia Kreinbrink Honorable Mention PCL BVC; Sue Winkle Honorable Mention BVC; Shyra Inbody 2nd team PCL, 3rd team BVC; Kelly Lammers received the vote for Most Valuable Player and she was the team's leading scorer.

Fourteen members of the squad gained letters this year and eleven are eligble to be a nucleus for next years runners. The PCL meet was one of the high points of the season, the boys had a better showing than expected.

At times it was a challenge to fill all the track positions with our small squad of thirteen girls. Yet, at the end of the season we were competing at a quality level; the 'rats' came out of the cellar to gain the runner-up position in the PCL. Always remember . . . 'Keep on runnin' — Coach David The girls' track team highlighted their season with the runner-up position in the PCL. Although the team got off to a slow start, three of the girls advanced to re-gionals. They were; Annette Tooman, Tina Zechman and Angie Rayle. Annette and Tina provided leadership for the team, both girls had participated in track all four years.

The play centered around a wealthy eccentric woman, Mrs. Savage. Her family had committed her to a sanatorium because she was giving away the family fortune. During her stay, Mrs. Savage encountered other guests at the Cloisters . Through Mrs. Savage's insight and help from Nurse Wilhelmina, she was able to manipulate her family to grant her freedom. The cast and crew worked smoothly on the production, working around small interruptions of the Florida trips and sports practices. The show was performed at an afternoon matinee for the grade schools and Senior Citizens and at two evening productions. The cast enjoyed hamming it up on the stage with adlibs, especially on the closing night. Fairy needs a little love 80 Spring Play Mrs. Paddy is happy at her easel Mrs. Savage Florence ........

Everyday hassels on occasion filled everyones lives. Some of the turmoils that faced underclassmen were being caught in the hall without a pass, forgetting an overdue library book at home, or being the last person in the lunch line. Most of these difficulties were resolved in a matter of minutes — days — years, yet at the moment of detection each underclassman felt that his was a monumental problem.

PARTING SHOTS • I k fi Wa Time always had a tendency to slip by. The year that would never end was gone in a flash of the eye. It was a year filled with moments worth noting; locally the bond issue passed on its fourth vote, Mr. Dean retired and the basketball and baseball teams had outstanding seasons. Nationally, it was the year of the space shuttle disaster, the nuclear accident, and terrorism. When we reflect, we now can see individuals who, through the good and despite the bad, took Parting Shots 127 OuT' f Time is a major component of every school year. There is a time to begin the year full of excitement and expectation and there is a time to end the year with the reflection of a job well done. As editors of this 1986 edition of the Le-Hi( we have felt both the pressure of the clock ticking by and the joys of a job completed. We would like to thank the entire staff for their work, our Josten's representatives, Al yyL — Whitmer and Steve Du-Frane for their guidance and the Powell Photography Company for their excellent photography. We would also like to thank our staff advisor, Nancy Suhr. Without her extensive help and understanding this collection of our best times would have never been possible. We hope that in years to come you will fondly remember these as the Best of Times. (i MJ uiui idL
