(Captain Spirit — Rob Ferguson) kt 4. ■ No matter where you turned we had students com- peting with fierce pride, and a commitment to excel- lence, (Mr. Kerner) I thought it was alright, It was a good honor, (Bruce T. Bretzke-King) 10 THE MAIN EVENT The Main Event , was an extra spe- cial edition to the Homeconning week. This years pep rally was certainly one to remember. The assembly started off with a firery speech from Mr. Kerner, and then the show began. The Old Spir it. Mr. Piwowarcyzk, and the New Spir its, Mr. Maas, and Mr. Totzke were up against each other. It was a tense mo ment as the old and the new battled it out on the mats. Mever the less, the New Spirits came out the champs. The teachers organized this one for the students. To most, it was a big surprise and a lot of laughs It really got the spirit flowing Not only did the high schoolers participate, but they were joined by the Linden middle-schoolers. It was an added event unlike the usual pep rallies. THE BELL TOLLS 35 TIMES 9 Va(Li The 1986-87 Linden Homecoming elaborated on the theme of cere- als this year. The classes had a good time creating their design and putting it all together. The winning float was the Sophomore class, with the Freshmen class in second place, Junior class in third, and last but not least the Senior class with fourth place. Even though it rained through most of the parade the spirit of Linden shined through. And as always the football players, cheer- leaders, and the pompon squad followed along as the Linden Band marched on accompanied by Linden ' s Queen and her Court. To top the afternoon off Linden football players dominated Durand 35-0! They playhed a good game offensively and defensively. It was a busy week with lots of things to do. think we ali had a good time. ' (Junior — Chrissy Gitre) It was a lot of fun, and we all got a lot of atten- tion. (Sophomore — Bev Osmond) It was exciting being on court, and I got to meet alot of upper-ciassmen. (Freshman — Carrie Dawson) I was excited, and I felt proud because I was an exchange student and I was Chinese. (Foreign Exchange student — Sue Young) Fourteen girls were elected to the 1 986-87 Homecoming Court. Seniors: Linda Moughler (Queen). Kelly Meadeau. Nancy Orr. and Tammy Woodbury. Juniors: Amy Warner. Chrissy Gitre. and Jodi Ray. Sophomores: Renee Foote. and Bev Os- mond, Freshmen: Missy Mudrak. and Carrie Dawson. Exchange students: Reiko n, Sue Yeung. and Synnove Sorthe. 15 mammmti OOPS DAY ■ HSJME3ii 1 Doug Tebo: I thought it was nice, 1 found out what students go through everyday. Matt Adair: l lil ed it. 16 BACK TO SCHOOL After taking last year off. Operation Par- ent Pupil Switch Day was back in action. Once again the turn out was excellent as 100 parents traded places with their son or daughter for a day at school. its a fun day but there is no kidding around as the parents are required to do whatever their son or daughter has to do during a normal school day. This in- cludes taking notes, taking part in discus- sion, and taking tests. One of the biggest challenges starts as the parents usually have some difficulty finding their lockers and classrooms. But once this nuisance is over with, they get the pleasure of 6 hours at a student ' s desk. Many of the parents are often amazed at the changes in the school since they attended high school. Things like what the students wear, and say are often a little surprising to many of the parents. However, the most surprising part is how long sitting in a chair for 6 hours can be. We have found that Parent Pupil Switch day is a great way to increase communication between the school and the home and a nice way to get the com- munity more involved. ' stated Mr. Kerner. Parents and teachers meet in the media center afterwards and usually the conversation is all positive, as both the parents and the teachers benefit from this experience. And don ' t forget the stu- dents ' who get their parents to come in get a benefit too. A DAY OFF! Dylan Raymond: It was pretty neat having my nnom come in. 1 Mrs. Raymond: It was a long day, I but I enjoyed it. 17 YEARBOOK The 1986-87 Yearbook staff felt right from the start that the ' 87 school year would be something to talk about and that was the very assumption on which they built their yearbook. The staff made a special attempt to get feedback from the student body, and they included many quotes from the students and the teachers as to how they felt about what was happening during ' 87. As it turned out, the theme, Something to Talk About, was an excellent choice as many things To Talk About happened throughout the school year. We were extremely successful in sports, academics, and student involvement groups. The student body was active and they showed they cared and took pride in their school. The 1986-87 Yearbook staff, was also proud to present this year and all the good times that went on as we certainly had plenty To Talk About. Back Row: Steve Carpenter, Mike Cason.

In the field day. the students participated in several events. They included Leap Frog. Chalk Talk, and the Team Essay- Leap Frog is a two person event in which the members each have a test and can trade each other when he or she is stuck Chalk Talk is a one person speech. The Students must give a short speech on one of three topics. Mad Hatter is also a two person event, the object of which is to answer as quickly as possible. Lidnen finished about the middle of the pack in the intermediate School division. 19 HIGH SCHOOL CHALLENGE Its not as easy as it Icfoks. You don ' t have time to stop and think about the questions, you just react to them, if you think about it, you ' ll get beat to the buzzer. Left to Right: Jim Krueger. Milt Bain.

When the team went to Channel 28 for a competition, they took their first win ever on a T.V. meet against Southwestern, but when they returned they lost to Lakeville. Dan Hench specialized in math, Tim Smeets special- ized in history, and Matt Spiegal was good in science and miscellaneous. This years overall record was 5-3, which was the teams first non-losing season. Advisors: Mr. Holcomb and Dr. Murphy 20 PIPELINE lEMBERS: Jenny Allison. Karyn Anthony, Julie Blankenship.

SPONSOR: Mrs. Sue Merchant The Pipeline , a group organized last year to im- prove communication in the high school was actively accomplishing that goal again this year. They assist- ed in many school events such as Open House, school spirit during Homecoming, and publicizing the need to save the Victory Bell , They also aided in communication to the students by improving the an- nouncement procedure and maintaining the bulletin boards by the office which publicized student infor- mation and accomplishments. To help establish fu- ture Pipeline goals, they conducted a student survey. Based on results of the student survey. Pipeline mem- bers promoted more assemblies and enrichment ac- tivities at Linden High School. Among these were: L.H.S. Talent Show, performance by the Fenton Am- bassadors , and formation of a Drama Club and S.A.D.D. Chapter at L.H.S. To show their thanks dur- ing Teacher Appreciation Week, Pipeline members conducted a vote for recipients of the Golden Apple Award and Teacher of the Year , which promises to be a yearly event for both teachers and students. m k i Kelley Dickenson — I enjoyed Pipeline because I got to meet new people and do interesting things for the school. STGDENTS OF THE MONTH This year LHS continued to honor Stu- dents of the Month . These students are recognized for outstanding efforts in the classroom and throughout the school. The teachers periodically submit names of stu- dents who do more than what is asked of them in a normal day. These students do the extra things that are not reflected in a grade point, things that make the school a better place to teach and learn. Students of the month: Matt Adair, Aaron Adams, Melis sa Crites, Gail Drake. Becky Dunlap, Heather Foren. Re nee Foote, Miley Hemby, Amy Howard, Heather MacDer maid. Chris Mallo. Tracy Reeves, and Lisa Robbins. 22 23 VARSITY CLGB The Varsity Club, now in its 2nd year, became a little more organized and active in ' 87 as it was just reinstated in the middle of ' 86. The club took a couple of field trips and gave some time to gather food for the needy. The Varsity Club is a nice way for the varsity athletes to gain a little more recognition for the enormous time and effort it takes to be a varsity level player and still keep up their grades and other school activities.

Prior to Christmas the club held three performances. The first performance enter- tained the students at Cen- tral Elementary, followed by a showing during the high school band Christmas con- cert, and finished up with a White Christmas perfor- mance after the LMS Christ- mas Play. Mrs. Mabel Loyer did an excellent job provid- ing piano accompaniment for all three of the clubs per- formances. Larry Diamond: ' 1 participated in the Vocal Club because it was important to the school and the students to show that there is more talent in Linden than just sports.

The students must spend 30 hours in the classroom and 6 nerve-racking hours on the road with an instruc- tor. To warm up for the road test, the students are allowed to practice with the parents before hand. A special addition to the program this year was a movie called Amber Lights which gave the students a little shock treatment about the dangers of careless driving. 30 31 TALENT SHOW The 1987 talent show featured many fine talents. Hard work and several days of preparation were put Into this years talent show. The show featured musicians, sing- ers, a gymnast, and comedy acts. Mr. Maas. Mr. Foley, and Mrs. Hayes got things rolling with their Heard it through the Grapevine , called Heard it Through the Pipeline . Then came the two rock bands, and Chris Loomls singing a solo. The two winners of this years talent show were gymnast Lori Tercha. and pianist Ty- ler Tunningly. These two then went to the Metro league talent show to compete against talents throughout the schools in the Metro league. This year ' s show was a great success for the participants, and for those who watched- 32 a VOCATIONAL EDUCATION WORKING LEARNING HAVING FCJN Though hit hard by budget cuts, Lin- den in combination with ITC and the Skill Center is still providing the stu- dents with a wide variety of vocation- al progranns. Some of the programs include Auto shop, auto body, secre- tarial, marketing, graphics and de- sign, welding, house building, ac- counting, nursing and even robotics. The students often make large sacri- fices to take these types of classes as they are frequently offered only at certain times. Many students must leave long before the normal school day starts or return from the skill center long after th classmates are have gone home.

Lindens score of 50.3 was a record breaking score for an opening invitational. Five bands performed with Linden in Flight III: Livonia, Franklin, Trenton, Beecher, and Montrose. Then on September 27, the band won the BridgeportSpaulding Invitational, taking a first place in the drum major, brass and winds, marching and maneu- vering, and a first place overall, with a score of 61.4. On October 4, t he Marching Band took first place again at the Clarkston Invitational, getting awards: Best brass and winds, and first place, with a score of 74.3. The band at this time got the idea that nothing will stop us now , and when October 25 came along, they proved it. On October 25, the LHS Marching Band left Linden with high hopes, for today was the M.C.B.D.A. Championships, and they returned at around 1:30 AM with the Final Score of 81.3, First Place at STATE. When asked what they felt about the season only one comment came back. The season was GREAT!

Generally, teens will eat whatever is in front of them but on occasion they seek out that special treat like mannequin quiche or they even sneak out to McD ' s for a Big Mac, patterned after the world famous Eagle Burger. -yV 47 STUDY One thing LHS students can ' t get enough of, is time to study. So they make the most of any spare time they get. And students can be found cracking those books in some of the most unusual places. Some have even mastered the technique of absorbing the material while sleeping on their books with the added advan- tage of having the answers imprinted on their face just before the big test. Of course the hallway is always conducive to good study habits. But even in the quiet of the media center Glenn McRill can be stumped to find North America as he buffs up for a High School Challenge Meet. But for real solitude Bob Mannequin often retires to the confines of his locker in order to be at one with his favorite social studies text. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY 49 the day we had little to talk about bgt plenty to think abogt Touched our lives Understood our pain Made us look at ourselves Allowed us to be ourselves flUTURED OUR SELF-ESTEEM THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IS YOU 52 ATHLETICS METRO CHAMPS 1 9 8 6 As coach Ron Eltringham put it. The season was very enjoy- able, the team was very coacha- ble and they wanted to succeed. The Linden Eagles Varsity Foot- ball team had been picked to win the league from the start. An opening loss to Oxford 24- 26, put some doubts in the minds of Eagles fans. The Ea- gles soon recovered as they won the next game against Lapeer East, 2712. Linden got back on track to a title season against Holly holding the Broncho ' s to a slim total of 104 yards. The Goose Egg Defense started in the third quarter of the game and the mighty defense would not be scored upon for another 17 quarters. The Eagles totally overpowered the Lakeville Falcons, holding them to only 46 yards of total offense and our offense scored 22 points in the games first 10 minutes. Fans were being turned away at the sellout crowd between arch-rival Fen- ton. The shutout streak came to an end. but the Eagles winning record continued with a surpris- ingly large win with a score of 45-28. stopping the four year losing streak. Bruce Bretzke had an outstanding performance scoring 3 TD ' s and intercepting 2 passes. The next game was very important to the Eagles, they needed to win so they could keep their playoff hopes alive. Although the team was short a few players due to inju- ries and illnesses they played an outstanding game, winning over Ovid-Elsie 34-14. It all came down to the last game against Mt. Morris. One of the biggest calls of the year was when Bruce Bretzke ' s 17 yard TD run was called back. The only scor- ing was on a field goal by Mt. Morris. The game ended with a score of 0-3, ending our playoff hopes. How did you feel about the season? It was a season that won ' t be forgotten by anybody. Lot ' s of action and excitement, (Rod Amos 65) I feel we could have done better and could have played in the playoffs. (Steve Buerkel 30) It was a lot of fun and everyone gave every thing they had. (Scott Lyies 56) I could not have asked for more. The team was a bunch of great guys and the season was a success. {John Revers 66) I felt we had a great season, everybody put their minds to the game and we came out winners. (Pat Quinlan 71) Linden was finally a threat in the league because we had a lot of talent on the team. (Doug Nunley 59) We played as a team the whole season. With a record of 7-2, that is not bad at all! (Paul Steck 21) After ail the hard work everyone put in, it ' s great to do as well as we did.

Eagles started with two losses then came back to win their next two games by shut- outs. The game at Holly was the first win of the season. The game brought the team togeth- er as a unit and gained a great deal of confidence as they won 14-0. They traveled to Durand the next week and played a great defensive game with another shutout 6-0. The game winning touchdown came on a 4- yard run by Gordie Plum- mer. As one player put it, They were really good games, we played the best we could and we won. The Oxford and Mt. Mor- ris games were close. They lost to Oxford in the final six minutes of the game, 140. The game was deadlocked 0- into the fourth quarter when Oxford scored the first touchdown of the game. The Mt. Morris Game was also a heart- breaker. They lost 22-20 in the final minutes of the game. The game was a hard fought game all the way through. They gained an enormous amount of pride and con- fidence. As Jeff Warner put it If we could have played just a little bit bet- ter and longer we would of pulled it out. The defense was led by Meil Huyck with 49 so- los, 54 assists and 3 fum- ble recoveries. The rush- ing department was led by Jeff Warner with 55 carries for 300 yards. The passing offense was led by Ted Kramer who completed 42 of 100 passes for 604 yards. Most of them went to the leading receiver Chris Franks who caught 32 passes for 471 yards. The scoring on the team was led by Jeff Warner with 6 touchdowns and 2 extra points- Coach Porter ' s comment on t he season This year ' s team was a hard working group that showed steady improvement.

( 10 Jeff Warner) I feel thai it went pretty good and that we improved a lot since last year. ( 14 Ted Kra- mer) I thought it was much better than last year. We proved we could win if we all played as a team. ( M Tom Herford) The team realty grew as a unit. By the end of the season they believed in themselves and be- lieved in their ability to the F oint we should have beat the 1 team in the league. (Coach Ros siler) I felt the team improved 100% from game one to the last game.

MORRIS 22 DEFENSE, DEFENSE END ZONE IS HARD TO FIND AGAINST FRESHMAN The freshman football team start- ed their season out with high ex pectations as they had one of the largest teams in the league. Their size and defense overpowered many opponents and the best games of the season featured great defensive efforts. One of those exciting defensive efforts came against Lapeer East. Linden was ahead early in the game, but got behind in the third quarter. Lapeer East was on their way to score again, when John Van Geothem ran the length of the field to make a touchdown saving tackle The Eagles then moved the ball down field with only three minutes left, with time running out, Jim Holsinger grabbed a pass from Todd Sexton and ran fifty three yards for the winning touchdown. Also, in the Durand game it was a defensive show. Both teams were an even match leaving the final score tied 0-0. The only offensive spurt from Linden came a 30 yard run by Todd Brown. Linden was still unable to penetrate past the 17 yardline. In the last game of the season at Mt. Morris, coach Brown said We wanted it bad . The opening kickoff landed in the arms of John Dotson who carried it 60 yards for the first touchdown of the game. The defense again came through as they recovered four fumbles on the way to a 34- 13 victory. Awards were given out by the team players to Todd Brown for outstanding back who gained over 700 yards in total offense. Jim Holsinger was picked for out- standing lineman of the year, and the coaches chose Wade Goble for most improved player 58 What will you re- member most about the season?

Amy Warner. Heather Dagg, Jean Treviliian. Coach Raymond Besides being short on victories the Lady Eagles suffered from being short on numbers, as they played the entire season with only 7 players. As Coach Raymond stated. This created some real difficulties in both the games and practice. But Luckily we managed to stay injury free and to stay out of foul (rouble for the most part. The Eagles finished with a dismal I and 20 record. Despite this record captain Stephanie Smethwick said. I felt we were competitive the whole season outside of about 4 or 5 ballgames. And for the most part they were competitive and they fell only a few points short of several victories. How ever, their only victory came against Holly 40-34. revenging an earlier loss at the buzzard 34-33. They also played perennial league champs Fenton within 2 the first encounter and lost in overtime at their place. Another highlight came against stale ranked Ox- ford as the Eagles put up 60 pts.. more than any team in the 10 years and they played Lakeville and Lapeer East very tough at the end of the season, considering the beating they took from these two teams early on. Although improvement is not the same reward as winning, the team took a lot of pride in their effort and their never say-quit attitude. 61 JV ' S WINLESS The J.V. girls ' basketball team played competitively in the Flint Metro League, but were unable to break into the victory column for the 1986 season. Team spirit, good sports- manship, positive attitudes and great efforts were the highlights of an other wise long season . Much need- ed court experience was gained for the future and confidence was raised through hard work. Alice McMichael was named most valuable player. Sandi Swink was awarded the Coaches Award.

They finished 5 3 in league play and were 7-3 overall. This ' 86 golf team had the best record and highest tournament finishes in 3 years. The only losses of the season came from Lapeer West 176160. Oxford 188 178. and Fenton 173-164. The team featured many good golfers. Charlie Ra- mage finished the season with an average of 42.65, was match medalist 4 times, and team medalist 8 times. Ramage was followed closely by Doug Brody with an average of 43.30, and Todd Anderson with an average of 44.90. Charlie Ramage received all-league first team and Todd Anderson and Doug Brody were All-league Honorable mention. Andy Orblych received the most improved player award, and finished the season with an average of 46.57. Dave Mikesell was not able to play this year because of injuries. A healthy Dave Mikesell could have Best In 3 Years helped the team. When asked about the season Coach Landrem said. I was disappointed that we did not win the league or qualify for state tournament, but was very satisfied that we had a winning record. The two most memorable matches of the season had to be the two league tournaments. The team tied for sec- ond place, one shot out of first in the first tournament. With the new way of scoring adopted this year, the Eagle team had to settle for third place in the second league tournament. Back row: Keith Haglund.

Shannon Spencer — Football season was really exciting for me because our guys did so well. Early practices on hot days in an empty gym Is where it all began for eight former varsity and two new additional cheerleaders. They attended Western Michigan Gnlv. for a three day session with the United States Cheerleading Association. They took the spir- it award on the first night and four third place ribbons. Shannon Spencer earned her way to nationals with a Top Ten individual award, while Amy DePerro and Hilary Reddy made their way to the nationals with their duostunt dance routine. The girls left camp with all new material and used It with spirit to have a great season. Setting to work on winning football and bas- ketball seasons, they made signs, decorated locker rooms, and cheered at Pep Rallies. Those were only some of what they did, but most of all they practiced a lot and had fun. 67 JV CHEERLEADING Back row (L to R) — Tuesday McColman, Laura Clem mer, Britany Kourt, Bottom row (L to R) — Kristy La fergy, Carol Ballard, Jenny McKinnon. 68 Carol Ballard — Even though I enjoyed cheering for bolh seasons football was my favorite. Work. work, work! was the cheer most often used as the season began. The hard work begins in the summer and doesn ' t end for most of the girls until the following March. They attend ed camp in Holland, Michigan where they made great progress and brought home the spirit award and a whole new line of material The JV ' s also participated in 2 other competitions and brought home a tro phy for their dance routine to Shout . Besides the competitions, practices, and games, the young squad also found time to do special things for the players and they even made time to cheer a couple of times for the freshman team. Although several members of the squad did not complete the whole year. the team worked extremely well togeth er and executed their cheers with spirit and discipline. 69 POM PON Front row: Jane Graczyk, Tammy Miller.

The next two games were disappointing to the Eagles as they dropped two non-conference games to Swartz Creek. 50-62. and South Lyon, 60-63, before the regu lar season. Linden opened up the Metro League season before Christmas at Holly with a 63-49 win. Bretzke led all scoring with 20 pts. Hopkins said After two straight losses this sure is a big win. The Eagles took over sole possession of first place with a defensive 42-38 victory over visit- ing Durand. The victory lifted Lin- den ' s record to 20 in the league. Steve Buerkel made his presence felt in the game, scoring 8 of Lin den ' s fourth-quarter points, includ- ing all 6 tallies in the games final three minutes. The Eagles stayed perfect in the league with a 34-33 win over Fen- ton. With less than 13 seconds left. Fenton took an off balance shot and missed, when Buerkel pulled down the rebound, the gym rocked like it hadn ' t rocked in years. The Eagles breezed through two league con- tests to continue their unbeaten ways, lifting their record to 5-0 They clobbered Mt. Morris 62-39. and then dumped Oxford 60-46. Lin- den triumphs in overtime to defeat Lapeer East 51-50. Draper ' s 2 blocked shots were one of the key plays in the game. Linden traveled to Lapeer West in the battle of the SHORT. unbeatens. The Eagles rallied in the final five minutes to defeat West 45- 38- The win improved Linden ' s record to 70 in the league. The Ea- gles fought off Lakeville to stay per- fect in the Metro League at the mid- way point. The next half of the season was a rocky road for the Eagles. The first game after the break was against the Broncos. The Eagles hung on to win 55-52. The next game they trav- eled to Durand where they lost 51 52. ending their 9 game winning streak. Ed Kupper scored 18 points in the game for the Eagles. The Ea- gles next went to Fenton, losing there 44-53. The loss dropped Lin- dens record to 9-2 in the league, a half-game lead over West. Linden was back on their home court against Mt. Morris. The Eagles de- feated the Panthers 68-46. The next game could have been considered an easy game for the Eagles with a 71 38 pounding of Oxford. The Ea- gles traveled to Lapeer East and de- feated the East Eagles 49-44, im- proving their record to 12 2 in the league with the showdown with West for the title. Newman had the hot hand for West and Linden ' s poor shooting was the difference in the game as they lost 3746. That ended Linden ' s hope for their first Metro League title. The Eagles record was their best since they joined the Metro League.

Starting the first half of the season with a low 2-6 re- cord, this group of athletes tightened up their belts to finish their last twelve games at 9-3. placing third in the metro confer- ence. Eagle pride, and hard work defensively was responsible for this year ' s success. Holding their opponents to an average of 41.3 points per game, which led the Metro League in team defense. The J.V. season started off with a win over Hartland by a score of 34-30. but the next four games were dropped by the Eagles, including a loss in league play to Holly 40- 32. The J.V. Eagles rebounded from the four game losing streak to beat Durand by a score of 56-39. The next two games. against Fenton and Mt. Morris were also dropped by the J.V. ' s, Linden played excellent against Fenton los- ing by only four points. The Eagle defense kept Fenton within reach the whole game, holding them to only 46 points. The Eagles then took five games in a row, including a win over Lapeer West, and Lakevllle. West was unbeaten coming into the game against Linden. Both teams played excel- lent defense which was displayed in the final score of 35-30. The Eagles finished the season in third place in the Metro standings. Warner, Franks. Hall, and Niester accounted for over 200 steals while Neil led all rebound- ing with 171 boards for the season. Chris Franks with 1 1 .6 points per game, and Jeff Warner with 10.6, led all scorers. How do you feel the season went? Mike Ward — Great!, the first part we started out kind of slow but the second half we did pretty good.

Jim Gordon, John Kenley 75 FRESHMEN FINISH WITH RECORD SEASON The Freshman Basketball team en- joyed its best start (6 1) and best finish (17 4) since being reinstated four years ago. The point guard combination of Brian Soules and John VanGoethem showed nice leadership by scoring 16 and 17 points respectively against Hart- land. Jim Holsinger (most valuable player) and Scott Johnson (coaches award) asserted themselves early in the season by combining for 72 points in the first three games. The only thing the Freshman seemed to be lacking was free throw shooting, which resulted in three of the four losses. Fenton handed the Freshman their first loss of the season in a tough overtime battle. They played a good game, except for their 1 1 for 26 night from the charity stripe, ending in a 38- 35 defeat. Later they bounced back to hand them their first Metro loss of the season with a balanced scoring attack being the key to seal a 52-33 victory. The young Eagles had another first in winning the Lakeville Tournament. They overpowered Oxford. Holly and Lakeville. A strong pressure defense and great bench support from John Dotson, Todd Brown and Pat Murphy helped finish off the record season in winning ways. yyTJKJg J BO S f m m K -f— - ' ■ ' - 3 - ' V ' V V V V 76 v.

They took sec ond place in the metro league and they were the first Linden team to win the regional championship and advance to the quarter finals of the slate. They set a school record for most wins in a season with 17 wins. 8 losses, and I tie. Even though the Eagles started the season without some key players. Gregg Smiecinski due to a broken wrist, and Greg Bogusky, they pulled together early on to assert themselves as a power in Genesee County. However, those key players could have been a big help in the early loss to League Champs, Fenton 3-4. This game was especially painful as the winning goal was scored with only 39 seconds left. Even though Linden only won 1 out of the 4 games played against Fenton, the Eagles won the most crucial game. Linden was down two and came back to beat Fenton and win Regionals. Another first time event came as the Eagles beat Hartland 5-4 in the regular season and again to win the Regional title with a 4-1 victory. Another special event came with 2 hockey players scoring 10 pts. in a single game by Steve Carpenter and Kevin Pearce. In this victory as well as the whole season the Eagles relied heavily on their goal tender Ray Aiken, especially in the 5 4 victory over Hartland where he turned away 32 shots. About the only thing that eluded the team this year was the Metro League Title. They fought hard with Fenton in their league game taking a 2 goal lead but could not over come Fenton. Special Honors were as follows: ALL STATE — Kevin Pearce: All State Honorable Mention — Steve Carpenter. Bobby Hutchings.

The Lady Eagles finished in 3rd place in the Metro League with a 9-7 effort. Despite the lack of height and experience, this years squad was always competitive and improved tremendously throughout the season.

This year ' s team was dominat- ed mostly by freshmen and sopho- mores. There was a total of four seniors and six juniors on the team of 28 play- ers. The pay to play really hurt the team this year. As it was a young team for coaches Maas Smith. The tri-captains of Bruce Bretzke. Vince Sielski. and Paul Steck led the team. Bretzke the team ' s top 400m and 200m runner, placed 1st in the league in the 400m but had to scratch the 200m as a pulled thigh muscle kept him out. Vince, the top 100m runner placed 2nd in the 100m and 3rd in the 200m at the league meet. Paul had a disappointing fourth place in the high hurdles but made up for it in the long jump as he jumped 20 ' 2 ' 2 . which placed him 2nd in the league. Steck was also the highest placer in the Re- gional as he placed 3rd in the High Hurdles. Bretzke this year missed the school record in the 400m by two-tenths of a second. The year wasn ' t that bad for individuals as Brian Soules broke the freshman class record in the discus (1 18 ' 2 ) and Steck tied the junior class record in the I lOm H.H. (15.2). Linden placed 3 on the All Conference Team, Bretzke (400m), Steck (Long Jump), and Vince was honored twice, in the 1 00m and 200m. 85 GIRLS TRACK J LJiLlft. 86 Back Row: Sharon Shapley.

(Sue Magalski) 67 VARSITY WINS FIRST DISTRICT Just when last year ' s fans were asking. Can we improve on the great season of ■86? ' , the ' 87 squad was answering Yes we can! . Many of Linden ' s baseball records fell by the wayside in ' 87 including the most wins with 34 and their first ever district championship. They also won the Metro League champi- onship and placed 2nd in the Flint Invita- tional. The Eagles started out with a loss in their first league double hitter against La- peer East and they did not lose another league game until their last double hitter with Mt- Morris. However, they won the 2nd game against Mt. Morris to clinch the league title for the 2nd year in a row. It was no easy task as the Eagles battled from behind several times this year and kept the fans biting their nails as it took a bases loaded single in the last inning by Brad Baldwin to secure the win. The boys also made an outstanding showing in the Flint invitational with several come from behind wins only to lose to Grand Blanc in a tough 3-2 loss in the finals. The highlight of the season came at Hart- land as the Eagles beat Chelsea in the Dis- trict finals to clinch their first ever District championship.

The team con- sisted of only 12 players, which hurt in the closing moments of their games- The teams slow start at the beginning of the season was disastrous. They had orga- nizational difficulties which kept them from starting their practices until the other teams had been practicing for 2 weeks. The team did show vast improvement over the course of the season, and as coach MacDermaid said, four more games would have really helped. The Eagle soc- cer team played many close games includ- ing a loss to Lapeer East that went down to the last seconds of the game, and a win over Fenton by a score of 2-1. which really got the team fired up. Linden lost their final game of the season to Ortonville Brandon by a score of 4-0. It was a well played, and even game up until the closing moments of the game. Coach McDermaid said, More than any other time this season, this game really showed our tiredness at the end. The team played an improved game on defense against Brandon, and set good traps. The team suffered on offense, lack- ing crispness in their passing game. Mext year the team will be losing five of their better players to graduation, their leading goal scorer Randy Soules. along with Glenn McCrill, Brian Wright, Larry Di- amond, and Dave VanGoethem. It ' s par- amount that we get more k ids out next year. MacDermaid said. Four of the Lin den players received all-area soccer team: Randy Soules. Glenn McCrill, Dave Van Goethem. and Larry Diamond.

THE TEACHING STAFF What is the biggest change you have seen in students in the last 10 yrs? Mrs. Buerkel: What they used to think, they now say! Mrs. Buffenbarger: They have got- ten much more conservative regard- ing knowing and expressing their rights. In other words, I dont find them quite as rebellious, What is the most unusual excuse you have heard from a student being tardy? Mrs. Hayes: Vic Lake told me a story about road construction that kept him from traveling his normal route. He took a different way and ran into an accident that held him up. When he finally got passed it, a tornado swept across his path and that detained him. When he finally got to the driveway of school, a terrible mudslick at the en- trance almost put him into a spin. He ran as fast as he could, but he was still late. (I didn ' t buy it, but it amused me nonetheless!) fijHaij aitJi Mrs. Dutkiewicz Clerical Block, Shorthand, Typing. Air.
