Moving pictures or movies are commonly used synonyms for motion pictures ... Popular films of 1985 were St. Elmo's Fire and Breakfast Club — films which portrayed young adults' problems ... Sometimes starkly realistic in style ... charming and witty on occasion in their commentary on the nature of the civilized world ... as is life at MHS. (MAN IN MOTION) 2 PCtVKWS 6 Jumping into summer, we anticipated parades and camps and lived dreams of Wonder Woman and animated Teddy bears. Three months of our year when we could stretch our bodies in the morning, slowly, grateful for the time, smiling as we felt like surging within us. As unexpected calendars turned and summer flowers suddenly died, we found our time gone. And as we again returned to the classroom, all of our dreams, moving pictures of our memories, became treasures, diaries of our summer fun. You suit us just fine was the slogan the band used while representing MHS in the fall season wearing their new uniforms. As the members marched down the streets of Oxford, Ohio, with heads held high, they dis- played their new look. Although the band was vexed with rain every time they wore their new uniforms, their spirit stayed high with Sweetness at their side. 8 The fall play, directed by David Pritchard, depicted a one-night stay of several teenagers in juvenile hall or Juvie, as they called it. Members of the cast portrayed drug dealers, vandals, gang members, an arsonist, a shop- lifter, a kidnapper, and even some murderers, all of whom had been arrested, booked, and locked up for the night. One by one, each of the kids told his story, ex- plaining the how's and why's pertaining to the arrest while other cast members mimed the story. 9 ■ i Teleported through space, fans entered the gates and approached the stands: the Everglades. Eerie, mis- ty, swampy. Kenapocomoco field transformed by the rain as if the Eel crawled over its banks, making mud. Fans resisting the second-quarter downpour with umbrellas, garbage bags, and hip boots watch reflec- tions of their team across the water. Homecoming game played with flippers and snorkles. Fifteen seconds of excitement as an interception and 98-yard run scored six points. Halftime ceremonies, moved to the gym after the game, saw Rich Burch and Jessica Spencer crowned. A discount dance followed. All week the Junior Class predicted victory for their Speilberg creation The Jaws of Defeat Await the Norse and they were right. We caught Sharky down at the 45-yard line before the game! reported a jubi- lant junior. Dress-up days during the week produced an assort- ment of Rambos, hairy women, aliens, a Zorro, and a defender of Toothopolis. Through it all ABC filmed. Like the rain, spirit poured from the enveloping clouds. Cheerleaders boomed through the fog and fans peered hopefully from their umbrellas as the Squires below mutated from red to mud-brown on the field. li€MEC€HINS Good Morning, America! The ABC crew shot the final feet of vid- eotape and packed for New York, ending a year in Small Town, USA. Although at times the lights and cameras were a distracting intrusion, ABC's visit was a welcome change of pace to everyday small-town life. During Homecoming pep session, the seniors delighted the school with a realistic and humorous re-cre- ation of an ABC interview. Good Day ABC! J3C ABC A ©CCD MCENINC ABC Hear ye! Hear ye! Squire Barry Carr was crowned king of the High School at Manchester at the first MORP. Voted into royalty by the Sunshine Society, Barry, spirits high, received his crown and hamburger coupon with modest ceremony. Members of the court were senior Jeff Leifer, junior Scott Bjortomt and Andy Roth, and freshman Andy Spriggs. MORP, a backwards prom saw faded jeans and old T-shirts instead of formals, toilet paper streamers in- stead of elaborate decorations, and an excuse for a girl to ask her favorite guy to a dance. MORP was just one of many suc- cessful dances at MHS. DANCE Feasting on wheels of cheese, fruit, Shelley's homemade bread, fowl, and tarts, dancing to me- dieval music, puzzling over Gypsy Tracey's card tricks, and competing in the archery field event, English literature students enjoyed this fall fea- ture: their Medieval dinner. Feasting on a buffet of salad, sausages, meatballs and spaghetti, puzzling oyer Walter's candle tricks, the girls' and guys' cross country teams nourished their bodies, preparing for the STATE CC FINALS the next morning — a race in which both proved to be the best in MFHS history. I'VE T4EE fIVB T4EE T4.EE EIVE In between major scenes, here's how MHS students take five. From the school to the football field, to a phone booth, Squires are serious about having fun. This year's spring musical brought Charles Schult's beloved Peanuts gang to our stage in the play Snoopy. Snoopy was a light comedy in which the Peanuts gang told their stories of the funny incidents that have happened to them. Snoopy (Doug McKee) sung about his love for supper time and Charlie Brown (Mark Wood) told of his troubles as he worried about talking to the little red headed girl (Amy Dockter). These were only a few of the humerous tales that the gang revealed to us during the course of the performance. This year's cast included a majority of freshman who showed us some potential for future plays. The students were directed by Carol and Sam Davis. SIPPING On April 29, MHS participated in Spirit Day competi- tions to bring the year's spirit race to an end. Thanks to the organization of the Student Council and spirit chairman Mike Miller the day ran smoothly. The fresh- man were victorious over the seniors in a grueling tug- of-war match. Amy Dockter avenged last year's loss in the limbo by setting an unofficial record in the event. Curt Beery and Paul Besel started an innovative new tricycle-riding method. And Bridget Davis, whoever told you that you could walk on stilts? Other events included the car push, wheelbarrow race, sack race, two-liter water race, and the obstacle course. Ironical- ly, the final standings were the same as last year: sen- iors, first; winning a trip to Great America, followed by the freshman, sophomores and the juniors, last as al- ways. spirit i III i if The Manchester High School Class of 1986 graduated on May 22, 1986, but it was almost invalid. Everything was fine as the seniors marched to their chairs keeping to the beat of the infamous “Pomp and Circumstance. Scott Meyer, Class President and all-around nice guy, gave the welcome, after which the choir sang a lovely graduation type song. Speeches by Valedictorian Dan Bolinger and Salutatorian Scott Meyer were humorous while at the same time meaningful and best of all, short. The various faculty members, such as the good Doctors, Day and Eckert, spoke on the first day of our new lives and knowing something good about the graduates. All was going as planned. The graduates-to-be marched across the stage and picked up their diplomas then formed the usual circle around the gym. John Whitcraft played Don't You Forget about Me on the piano as the seniors sang with their now lit candles illuminating the gym. Krishna ©IPADUATICN 20 Longanecker gave the benediction and it was all over. Or so everyone but the graduates thought. People began getting up as the lights came on, but the circle around them didn't move. Finally Scott ran up on the stage and over the noise of people trying to leave declared the Class of 1986 graduated, making it official. FINAL MOMENT Relief echoes through the crowd of spectators as young lives walk in synchrony like a Chinese dragon, to freedom from the pencils-and-paper building. Tears fall from parents' eyes like leaves from the old smoke tree while whispering secrets of the future fill their minds. Eyes of athletes, writers and singers glow with rushing memories of prom, old lovers, and wild weekends. Hearts begin to increase as realization of the final moment creeps upon them like a lion on its prey. The moment arrives. Familiar names in alphabetical order are read for the last time. They are now on their own. 21 by Todd Yoder First-year coach Al Bai- ley and his staff put together a fine team and got them well prepared before the season opener. From then on injuries started to cut into the squad with Aaron Aungst, Jack Bentley, and sen- iors Troy Silvers and Rich Burch, each missing at least three contests and others missing a game or two. The Squires had a fine group of seniors who provided leadership and solid plays. John Whitcraft and Billy Honeycutt revived the running game this year behind the fine blocking of Scott Cripe, Andy Slack, Dan Lampert, and Mike Burgess. The outstanding offensive player was Mike Burgess, while Jeff Fahs was the Most Valuable Player on de- fense. The Most Improved Player and only player who was named to all-TRC was defensive back Chris Cornell. The younger Squires gained much varsity experience, and with a solid group of young freshman coming up next year, the outlook for '86 is ex- citing. )V BOTTOM: Brent Stanley, Todd Howard, Chuck Goodrich, Paul Reahard, Jeff Felgar, Aaron Cornell, Andy Spriggs, Mike Scott.

Both girls and guys 'Ay competed in Indy at the State JO’ moot in anH hr th fini ;hpH competed in Indy at the State meet in '85, and both finished highest in MHS history. The girls, placing 13th in their inaugural State showing as a team, were led by soph- omore Janice Hoover. The guys (the East Street Gang) in their third con- secutive State meet showed how ex- perience pays off by placing seventh. (The 72 team placed eighth.) Senior Tim Wion held on to an 18th place All-State finish while junior Eric Un- derwood was soooo close with 26th. To the pleasure of coach Dick Miller and team, the third place Semi-State was vindicated as the guys beat every team from Manches- ter Semi-State at the State. Coach Miller says it proves that we can honestly run with the best in the State. One regret of the '85 team was the unusually wet weather throughout the season and at the State meet which made times mark- edly slower than expected. While the girls were having their best invitational season, winning three out of four, the guys seemed to be struggling placing second in all significant meets until Regional. Even with the frustrations of placing second by two or three points all season, the team ran the best race when it counted most — at the State. What held the team together be- gan at camp in pre-season as team members spent a week with each other at Pokagon State Park learning to work with one another, building friendships, and setting season goals. This, along with hours of dedication, allowed the Squires to achieve greatness in 1985. BOTTOM ROW: Andrea Aungst, Amy Baker, Liz Swain, Tammie Wion, Janice Hoover, Cara Lance, Krishna Longanecker.

The season ended for the varsity with an 11-11 record. Varsity Coach Shirley Musselman stated We start- ed out shaky this season but this team has real potential! The varsity was hurt this year with the loss of Amy Fahrnow and Bridget Greene, but they made up for it with strong hitters Shelly Caudill, Missy Wise, Lori Lehman and Chris Bradley. Awards were received by Shelly Caudill, Most Valuable; Steff Carter, Most Improved; and Lori Lehman, Mental Attitude. The Junior Varsity finished their season on an up-note with a 10-4 record. Delpha Ulrey, Steff Carter and Ann Fishback led the team with strong hits and hard serves. J.B. coach Shelly Newell chose Sara Smith, Delpha Ulrey and Angie Brad- ley for Spirit Award Spiking Award, and Serving Award respectively.

The Lady Squires golfers coached by Jim Myer, increased their last year's 2-8 record to 4-8 and also sent, for the first time, three girls to Regionals. Senior Deann Cripe, No. 1 golfer, advanced to Regionals as did juniors Sara White and Jolene Kastner. The team was made up of one sen- ior, four juniors, and two sopho- mores, who won medals and low putts. Jenny Frieden received the Mental Attitude Award. Varsity let- ter winners included Deann Cripe, Sara White, Jolene Kastner, Cathy Warner, Tonya Enyeart, Jenny Frie- den and Kelly McKee.

The county was won with a 319, four strokes away from the school record. The TRC was won with 334, ten strokes better than the rest. The team is looking forward to a better season next year, after a record of 6-8 for the varsity and 1-10 for the JV this year. There are four returning lettermen; Pat Brandenburg, Steve Straiger, Tim Spang and Andy Wible, they should once again repeat the County and TRC championships. Pat Brandenburg was Medalist for the team, who also was the Most Improved player. BOTTOM ROW: Andy Slack, Andy Wible, Steve Straiger, Pat Brandenburg, Tim Spang.

Eighteen girls were on the roster this year. The girls' 0-12 record didn't stop them from proving their true ability at Sectional. The team placed ninth overall; nearly half participated in the finals, which pleased coach Jody Davenport. Team co-captain Amy Dockter, diver, placed sixth at Sectional and broke the MHS diving record. Co- captain Kelly Tackitt was recipient of the Most Valuable Swimmer Award. The Mantal Attitude Award and Most Improved Award were pre- sented to Kacy Trick and Steff Carter, respectively.

Angie Geiger and Susan Carpenter dive-in for the beginning of a free-style race. The girls swim team takes a break between races. An inexperienced men's swim team again had a winning season and sent several swimmers to the state finals at the IUPUI Natatorium. Mary Miller took over the head coach position from Jody Davenport who was busy having a baby. Coach Mary provided capable direction for the team and stroke instruction for some of the more inexperienced swimmers. Squire swimming '85-'86 was characterized by strong leadership with five senior lettermen combining fifty years of swim team experience. With strong performances at Sectional, MHS placed fifth out of 12 teams. The 400 yard freestyle relay and senior Scott Meyer, in the 50 and 100 free, advanced to state. Other strong performances were by seniors Mike Miller (100 and 200 free), Tom Steele (100 back), and sophomore Kevin Reed (diving). In a difficult if not unique situation involving the 400 free relay, five individuals helped advance the team to state. Using combinations of senior Kent Ulrey, Tom Steele, and sophomore Matt Meyer with Mike Miller and Scott Meyer the relay team eventually placed 13th at state, setting a series of school records. Scott Meyer also broke his own school records in the 50 and 100 placing 8th and 6th respectively. Co-captains for the season were Mike Miller and Scott Meyer. Most improved awards went to Kevin Reed and Doug Meyer. Tom Steele comes up for a breath of air. Sophomore Kevin Reed shows his perfect form.

Al- though the team lost three key seniors, it was able re- place these spots with much improved underclassmen. Under the leadership of coach Keith Metzger and captain Matt Hawley, the team posted a 7-6 record. A strong effort at Sectional left the net- ters with a slim 2-3 loss to Rochester. The varsity team was led by No. 1 player Steve Straiger, who received Most Improved Player award. Following were No. 2 player Eric Jones and Most Valuable Player at No. 3 Kasy Fierstos. The doubles' team consisted of No. 1 Matt Hawley and Dan Bollinger, No. 2 Doug Meyer and Tim Spang. The JV experienced a strong season, show- ing the team will continue to improve. Freshmen Steve Hunt, Chad Hankee, Jackie North and sophomores Todd Hodson, Paul Besel and Andy Wible made positive contributions.

GIRLS TENNIS The girls' tennis team had a suc- cessful season this year with new coach Jane Bales and the best win- loss record in over a decade, finish- ing the regular season play at 8-3. The girls also had the honor of win- ning first place at the Whitko Invita- tional with Michele Hankee winning the award for most valuable singles at 2. In sectional action, the team met a tough Maconaquah squad and lost 3-2, but junior standout Amy Fahr- now went on as undefeated 1 sin- gles player. She won 12 season and post-season games before losing at Lafayette. Amy was named Most Valuable Player for the season. Mi- chele was given the Mental Attitude Award and Senior Kim Long ( 3 sin- gles') was given TNT (Tried and True) award. The girls also voted Michele Hankee as honorary team captain, and for some unknown reason. Coach was presented with a golden lead-foot award. The girls also attended a session of the U.S. Clay Courts in Indianapolis and watched the pros in action, the highlight being a doubles' team Steffi Graf and Gabriela Sabatini. Contributing to the spirit of the team, Coach Jane had a party for the girls at her lake home following their impressive 5-0 win over Wawasee.

BACK ROW: Ed Perkins, Gene Dyson, Mark Thompson This seemed to be a strong building year for the grapplers with the bulk of the team being freshman and sophomores. The Squire wrestlers will only loose one senior this year, Steve Smith. Some season highlights took place at the Wabash County Tournament, where Taylor Seward, Gene Dyson, Jeff Brubaker, and John Stone all placed second. Two grapplers ad- vanced to sectionals, Jeff Brubaker and Gene Dyson who were also named co-captains of this years team, John Stone was also named the most improved wrestler. The team was victorious in a dual match at Howe Military Academy and hopes of more wins are in line for next Jerry West, Ed Perkins, Mark Thompson and Steve Henson rest during practice.

Tamie Wion led the team with 16 first places, 8 seconds, and 5 thirds. The team be- ing small in numbers was plagued with injuries this season. Tammie, also being the leading scorer, fin- ished the season with a fractured wrist missed the last two meets and sectional. Participating in sectional were Darla Rohrer, Melisa Heavilon, Heidi Doubt, Janice Hoover, and Steff Carter, also receiving the MVP, award, sharing it with Tammie Wion. The Most Improved award went to Susan McCloughan, as she compet- ed on the uneven bars. Melissa Heavilon does a graceful turn as she anticipates her next stunt. Tammie Wion hangs for a moment amidst a powerful leap. After losing only two seniors to graduation the Running Red was looking forward to an exceptional sea- son. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Losing three varsity players, be- sides the two seniors, proved to be more than the young team could handle. Jessica Spencer was forced to quit after only four games with internal problems. Steph McGee never could participate due to knee injury and Bridget Greene headed for Whitko with her mom. The ladies faced a particularly tough schedule with five of the teams they played being ranked in the top 20 of the state. These teams included Marion, Wawasee, Dwenger, Warsaw, and Huntington North. Despite always being the under- dog, the ladies always worked their hearts out. The starting line-up of two seniors, Shelly Caudill and Missy Wise, one junior; an all state candi- date Amy Fahrnow, and two sopho- mores Jenny Frieden, and Kathy Young, they seldom got a rest be- cause of a team member shortage. After a hard fought game back in the final quarter of County Tourney, the Squires lost for the second consecu- tive year to host Northfield. The Huntington North Vikes crushed any hopes of a fifth straight sectional title with a relentless full court press and countued substitutions. In post-season awards, Missy Wise received mental attitude and deter- mination awards while Amy Fahrnow captured free throw percentage. Shelly Caudill once again pulled down the most rebounds award. Fahrnow and Frieden made first team on both TRC and County while Caudill and Wise both made second teams of each.

The Squires second biggest disap- pointment was the loss to Southwood at the county tour- ney, but they proved themselves by winning TRC. There were 12 varsity players on this years team with three of the starting five being seniors. All of the players contributed to the Squires winning season. Sam Howard, Matt Eckert, and Barry Carr were named to the all county team. Matt Eckert missed winning Wabash county play- er of the year by one point losing to Barry Carr. Barry was also the fifth highest scoring player in the TRC and named most valuable player by his team-mates. Other varsity basketball awards that were given out were the most improved, Darren Goff; Matt Eckert as Mr. Hustle, and Troy Silvers who received the Rotary Mental At- titude Award. The Junior varsity boys basketball, Chris Singpiel was named most valu- able player and Aaron Aungst was the most improved player. The Mr. Hustle award went to Chris Cornell. 40 Sam Howard goes up for a shot JUNIOR VARSITY FRONT: Chris Cornell, Paul Reahard, Jeff McClure, Aaron Hippensteal, Aaron Cornell BACK ROW: Manager Pat Taylor, Aaron Aungst, Scott Gidley, Chris Singpiel, Eric Underwood, Jerry Hoerdt, Coach Jim Murphy, Manager Tim Borg ABOVE: Barry Carr and Sam Howard anticipate a rebound.

Injuries were a big part of the disappointing season. Kent Ulrey, senior ace pitch- er, went down early in the season with shoulder trouble and sopho- more pitcher Aaron Cornell went down also with elbow problems that later resulted in surgery. The season didn't prove to be all that bad as the Squires came up with some satisfying victories. One of these was the thrashing of arch rival Whitko, 11-3. Another was a double header sweep of a tough Wawasee squad. Coach Ron Eberly has taken his lumps this year along with the rest of the squad, by losing a number of close games that could have had the Squires in the running for the Conference title, Rich Burch was voted MVP by the team members, who also brought down the RBI trophy and Troy Sil- vers won the award for the lowest ERA.

Directed by Coach Dick Miller, the film was shot on location at MHS, taking over three months of sacri- fice, dedication, and hard work to complete. Leading the Squires and fill- ing the starring roles were seniors Mike Burgess, Matt Eckert, Dan Lambert, Scott Meyer, Mike Miller, Richard West, John Whitcraft, and Tim Wion. Supporting the leads was a strong cast of underclassmen in- cluding John Burton, Walter Lambert, Brent Stanley, and Jeff Eckert. The storyline called for longstanding re- cords to be broken. Sophomore Jeff Eckert leaped downtown, breaking Robin Gratz's 1966 record in the long jump with a 21'10V2 effort. Matt Eckert starred in a double fea- ture at TRC (Three Rivers Cinema), breaking record in both hurdle events. The first to go was another 1966 Robin Gratz record, this time in the 110m highs (14.6 sec). The 300 low hurdle was his own, but Matt shaved off another tenth (39.0 sec). While the script called for Marion Relays, Wabash County, and TRC championships, it did not include a sectional victory as big point man Matt Eckert contracted mononu- cleosis and was unable to compete. Only Jeff Eckert, Mike Miller, and Tim Wion advanced to the Kokomo Regional. Miller blazed his way to a state qualifying 5th place in the 800m with a PR 1:57:1. Wion followed in the 3200m with a 4th place in a PR 9:33:6. At the state meet, Wion was 11th. Receiving awards for their performances were Most Improved, Most Valuable, Hon- orary Captain. These Awards were present- ed based on votes by The Academy of Fellow Athletes. The major theme in this long running film was personnal achievement. With proper di- rection and hard work success was inevita- ble. With success lies fun times, good times. BOTTOM ROW: Kevin Reed, Chris Cornell, Gene Dyson, Andy Turner, J.D.

GIRLS TRACK The 1985-86 girls track season ended in a discouraging note this year. Although the team was small, the Squire girls certainly proved themselves talented and potentially challenged many larger teams. Hunt. North was a little scary for the tracksters, but even then they still held their heads high and gave it their best shot. With a small team of thir- teen, the girls had five members advancing to sectionals.

Students are instructed in language, literature, composi- tion, speech, drama and journalism. In addition to its basic skills mastery program in spell- ing, vocabulary, grammar, sentence and punctuation, basic composition, element of fiction, and intermediate composition students are exposed to great ideas and writing styles in literature, learn to use library resources, practice speaking skills, and elect a variety of more ad- vanced courses in literature, speech, drama, business English, journalism, and composition. In addition to the variety of experiences in their classes, students have opportunities to hear guest speak- ers, such as Charles Boebel, John Planer and Jim Adams, professors at Manchester College, and poet Alice Fri- man. They attend college convos and plays, such as Spoon River Anthology. The creative dramatics class toured the elementary schools with their program of pantomime, poetry, story theatre and puppetry. The most exciting day may have been the honors field trip via train to Chicago, where students visited Greek- town, The Sears Tower, The Art Institute, and traveled by subway to the famous Pizzeria Due. Once again several students (Jennifer Schall, Missy Wise, Amy Dockter, Anne Boebel) were honored for their creative writing talent. Some were invited to hear and meet author John Irving and Indiana poet Jared Carter. Mrs. Bales aims at an unproductive student. Mrs. Bales and Ms. Klingler model expensive evening wear.

Cheryl McKee is caught without her lab glass- es. They blinded us with science — springs make waves, gasses explode, and equations balance while bugs become insects, trees become Fagus grandifo- lia, and guts become systems. Jim Myer specializes in chemistry, physics, and hat tricks. Next door Harvey Underwood enjoys insects, formeldehyde and s'mores. In addition to the Dynamic Duo, Patricia Ringenberg added two classes of practical biological science to her schedule while first year teacher Keith Coleman picked up the practical physical science classes. Amy Dockter collapses after a rough day of collecting bugs. 56 Despite the general consensus of the student body, social studies classes are some of the most beneficial courses offered at MHS. Phil Enyeart lectures on condi- tioning in psychology, that is, how today's high schools make students believe they are benefitting from the class. Government and world history, taught by Bob Gilbert, contribute significantly ot our understanding of local gov- ernment (ten-point board meetings) and an original view of the history of the world by Matt Werking. Richard Shepherd recognizes the importance of rest in his eco- nomic classes for which he has won great accord with his students. He also teaches geography, which helped stu- dents calculate the distance American planes must fly to reach Libya. In Jonesy's kingdom, U.S. history and Ameri- can frontiers dominate the subject matter. E.K. Jones' monologue, Jonesy's story hour, is filled with colorful antecdotes of American heroes past like Jedidiah Smith and the Indian guide to Lewis and Clark, Sacajawea. Mr. Shepherd relaxes after his business law class. Mr. Gilbert's image comes back to haunt him. Mr. Jones scans the National Enquirer for a current event. 57 w aV T IH Keith Coleman Dick Miller Tom Sittler Edith Stone With new blood and a rejuvenated math seminar called unified advanced math the study of numbers and geo- metric shapes took on a new flavor. Dick Miller teaches geometry, senior math and unified. Edith Stone, who re- placed Leon Ridenour, handled Alge- bra II and geometry. The Algebra I classes were taught by veteran Tom Sittler and first-year teacher Keith Co- leman. Chuck Goodrich can't believe Miss Stone's long assignment. Mr. Sittler shows his jovial side.

They prepare students for the business world by teaching them typing, short- hand, accounting, introduction to business and busi- ness law. Some students in business classes took field trips to Fort Wayne businesses and to visit a jail. Students enrolled in a business course have the op- tion of belonging to the Future Business Leaders of America sponsored by Keith Metzger. Jenny Warner studies shorthand dictation. Tim Borg perfects his typing skills. The beginning typists take a timed writing. 60 Mr. Benton helps Carol Dooley type a letter. The small art department at MHS is led by teacher Dave Pritchard. He teaches the stu- dents drawing, sculpture, ce- ramics, painting and crafts. This year, Todd Yoder and Andrea Aungst won awards in an art contest at Honeywell center. aV 1C T Pat Gabriel speaks to an art class.

Senorita Acosta, in turn, kept her students busy with such projects as el arbol de la fami- lia (family tree), el viejo ima- ginario (an imaginary trip to a Spanish country), mi boda ideal (my ideal wedding), and the dreaded verbos tests in Spanish III. Melissa Borg dreams of far away Spanish lands. Peggy Eller, Stacey Slough and Chris Bradley chat with Miss Acosta. Sam Howard, Jeff Fisher and Jeff Curtis take a break from the wild Spanish Club party. 62 French III students, Kelly Tackitt and Doug McKee, work quietly in the hall. lames Murphy The French classes at MHS are taught by James Murphy. French III was offered as an in- dependent class during the same period as French II this year. Monsieur Murphy not only teaches his students to speak French, but he gives them a taste of the French lifes- tyle and culture he has gained spending the past three sum- mers in France. The French stu- dents do many weekly projects, such as watching French televi- sion, writing to pen pals, and practicing telephone conversa- tions in French. Students learn basic survival skills to use in France. r IE IE N C IE 63 Mr. Murphy dines with his friends. IB A N IB This year, the Squire band ex- celled under the direction of Ter- ry McKee. Mr. McKee chose to spend the year rebuilding the band. Even though the Squire band did not attend marching band contest, it was a productive fall season. The new band uni- forms arrived in October, but un- fortunately, everytime the uni- forms were worn, it rained. In Oc- tober, the band traveled to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio to per- form in a parade and halftime show with about 20 other bands. Drum majors Hayley stine and Mi- chele Hankee helped lead the band to a successful season. During the concert season, the band played in fall, Christmas, and spring concerts, along with the organizational contest where the band received a superior rating. Terry McKee ROW 1: B. Reynolds, T.

Outstanding articles for the paper were con- tributed by Tim Wion with his North Wobe- gon Days, and John Whitcraft, although usual- ly late, managed to print some creative and captivating pictures. Although it was a lot of work putting togeth- er this year's yearbook, Moving Pictures, the editors took time out to have fun after they managed to pull together and meet their dead- lines. Bananas, Dapper Dan, and wallpapering with advertisements made the work seem less stressful. Jane Bales, their sponsor, tried to keep them under control.

The club and other Spanish class members went on two field trips. The first was in the fall at the Elkhart Memorial High School, The Adven- tures of Don Quixote , a bilingual play, and in March, Jose Molina Bailes, a Spanish dance company in Fort Wayne.

The Ski Club enjoyed skiing Canonsburg although the bus trip was too long. They were surprised at the change in Wawasee and eagerly tried the new lift. With Timber Ridge, skiers alternated Snowfest with the parachutists, the San Diego Chicken and other costumed peo- ple, slalom and tubing races, as al- ways. The large club was sponsored by Keith Metzger and Jane Bales. The 1985 season was another year of rebuilding for the MHS speech team. Under the direction of the new coach Susan Klingler and assis- tant coach Edith Stone, the ten- member team was larger than the teams of the past four years. During the season from November to March, the team earned ribbons in the events of duo interpretation, radio, and discussion. Sara White and Suellen Shively earned a sixth place ribbon in varsity competition. Also in varsity competition, the duo of Shawn Yeakle and Laura Shewman received sixth place; Colleen Yeakle placed fifth and fourth respectively in discussion. The other team mem- bers improved over the season: Jody Fausnight and Tom Inskeep. Audio Visual The Audio Visual Club under the direction of Doris Snell, went about their usual chores of toting the A.V. equipment around the halls again this year. The club was responsible for the lighting and sound for both of the plays this year. They also set up the sound for the convocations and pep sessions, along with video taping many athletic events. The of- ficers of the club were president Andy Slack, vice-president Paul Wi- ble, and secretary Mike Burgess. Row 1: P. Wible, R. Burch, M. Miller, K. Ulrey Row 2: H. Kennedy, A. Wible, J.

Bjortomt The FFA is a national organization of students enrolled in vocational agriculture and or agribusiness. The 1985-86 year consisted of ap- proximately 25 members. The offi- cers were Ron Purvis, Don McCune, Cindy Grossnickle, Shane Ridenour, Eric Heagy and Chad Cripe. Richard Sparrow was advisor. The club's livestock judging team traveled to Richmond, VA for the Eastern National Livestock judge contest. Overall, they received 1st place. The club had its annual citrus sale in the fall. Kris Gaerte was top salesman. Being in FFA on a judging team, a person has to make a decision and have good reasons why they made that decision. Being able to do that prepares him for the real world.

Frausure The Squirettes drill team was a lit- tle bit different this year compared to past years. A new idea of a spon- sor, Jo Cattron, really seemed to help them get their spirits up and have a better season. After spending many hours during the summer pre- paring for parades and football sea- son, the corps finally moved on to basketball games. This year most of the basketball games were dance routines per- formed by both flags and rifles which was a pleasant surprise to all audi- ences. Ending the season with a can- can, which included the audience, and with senior and captain recogni- tion, was a thrill, and a depressing moment because it was their last game. Flags captains were Wendy Sanson and Deanna Fruitt and rifle captains were Missy Heagy and Shelly Freder- ick. This year's corps made an enor- mous improvement and they hope to continue the progress in future years. Row 1: S. Frederick, M. Heagy Row 2: T. Benson, B. Reynolds 86 Cheerleaders Row 1: S.

Getting to know each other, both personally and in cheering, was a memorable experience. No one will ever forget the mural on Miriam's wall or Kim's new kind of ''boat shoes . After a rough football season the squads showed they deserved the blue ribbons and spirit sticks they had received at camp. Trying new types of cheers and stunts added a dimension to cheering. Although cheerblock wasn't well organized they showed a lot of spirit and en- thusiasm at the games. The cheerleaders would like to give a special thanks to Miriam She- perd, their sponsor, for all the times she came in to help them and mak- ing cheerleading so much fun. We love you and we'll miss you, Mir- iam! All in all the cheerleaders had a great year and one they will not soon forget. Row 1: K. Southern, C. Lance, L. Marrs Row 2: C. McKee, S. Bradley Row 3: S.

I slouched down in the green plastic seat, Clutching my corduroy totebag, And stared out the rain-spotted window. Familiar weeds, falling fence posts, and scrawny trees rushed past. Shriveled corn drooped in brown fields. The radio crackled as the bus lurched sideways, Hey! Watch where yer goin! And a football bounced off the driver's seat. I tried to ignore those Laketon boys in back. Hoping they wouldn't see me — Then, I saw the grey blue heron Standing in the stagnant green water of the swamp. His elegant long neck curved upward into a slender head. The white sun touched the pool's surface silver As he stood motionless — And we soared up through the mist. Strong grey wings enveloping the blue sky, With clouds rolling out beneath us, In the golden rays of sun, He led me through a rainbow, And then, we spiraled down, Cool water rippled in the gentle breeze. The setting sun touched the blue waves silver, As we stood motionless. And the school bus rushed on. A spitball hit and stuck to the window by my seat. A boy stamped down the aisle to retrieve his football, And raced back smacking seats. I stared out the rain-spotted window at familiar weeds, falling fence posts, and scrawny trees. Tomorrow I would look again for the silent heron. By Jennifer Lyn Schall 89 Art by Eric Heagy PLAID SOFA In my house on 187th Within its faded yellow walls, I relax on the plaid sofa.

With soggy fairways, Although to me It seemed like a giant Easter egg hunt. Feelings of Joy. A baby kitten. Surrounded by the warmth Of Christmas. Feelings of Pain. Falling off a bike, Skinning my knee. And having the skin ripped off by the band-aid. The town I used to call home. Littered with pine cones, Laid into a cove of hills, Is now only a distant memory.

By Tana DeLaughter Michael We dug through the dirt for red spotted newts and brown salamanders; In the pond we hunted frog eggs floating in oozing green jelly. Before you met my sister and I, did you know that girls liked to catch frogs? We were friends one year — you taught us how to turn over rocks and how to collect matchbox cars. We lined up rows of plastic green soldiers and played kickball in the dark. At a safe distance from our driveway, we watched Fred, our garter snake. On warm afternoons he sunned himself red-forked tongue flickering in and out. His crinkled white skin was lost when we moved last time, and when I sent you a Christmas card you never wrote back. Do you ever think of the two scrawny girls who caught tadpoles with you? That summer of the red spotted newts.

We are the talented, the intelli- gent, the athletic, and the beautiful people. The anxiety and nervousness of that first day are gone. Now, we have mountains to climb and rain- bows to follow. We are not an ordi- nary group. We have dreams for the future, and we have the potential to reach them. You'll see. There will soon be the time when the Class of '89 will definitely shine.

No mat- ter how contrasting our personalities are, we can still work together well, and for the same purpose — the fur- thering of our own class and of Squire pride. Thinking back to the past three years, some may wonder how we can get any better. To those people, we can only say, Just wait 'til next year!

Senior class officers: Tana DeLaughter, treasurer; Krishna Longanecker, secretary; Cara Lance, vice-president; Scott Meyer, president. Y) [erYm TftiMs 117 118 j£«tL '- • . C r C .

Prom starts at 9. At the Lantern. The theme song is Almost Paradise. Yeah, didn't you know that? Jeff Da- vis from WMEE. Sure, see you at the Wharf. It's on 24. Gosh, I hope you don't get lost! Later! Dinner: I don't know what to get. No, we can't order from the wine list; I didn't bring my fake ID! Hi! How are you guys doing? You look so good! Yeah, sure. You too. I think I'll get shrimp . .. Prom: Are you sure this is the right way? Oh, yeah, there it is across the railroad tracks. Do we pull up under the carport? 'MHS PROM USE SIDE ENTRANCE'. Nope. Nice parking lot! I'll drop you off so that you do not have to walk in the gravel. Bonsoir, M. Murphy! Thanks. Look at the fountain! This is O.K. It's small, but comfortable. Let's get our pictures taken right away so that our hair is still O.K. The flash is intense! Look at her dress! Wow, it is really pretty ... It's midnight already? It went so fast! Where are you going now? Us too. See ya. How fast are we going? You said you wanted to be home early, but this is ridiculous! Slow down! I mean it! ... 25 minutes! Is that all? Gosh. I had a wonderful night! Thank you for everything Susan Carpenter adjusts Todd Yoders bow tie. Kim Long and John Burton share a slow dance. John Whitcraft and Tricia Trick look like they're Almost in Paradise. 127 The Class of 1986 took their senior trip to the Gateway to the West, the St. Louis Arch, and to Six Flags amusement park over St. Louis. After an eight hour bus ride, the group was ready to get out and explore the Arch and St. Louis for a couple of hours. As they got back on the bus a brief rain shower threatened to ruin the trip, but it turned out to be a beautiful night. The seniors had fun riding the roller coasters and water rides the park had. Most of the group was ready to go at 3:00 a.m. when the park closed, even if the long bus ride didn't appeal to them. The buses arrived back in Manchester around 10:00 the next morning, making a total of about 29 hour, and a lot of great memories. The St. Louis Arch. Seniors take a break on the steps by the Arch. Michelle Hankee gives a disgusted look as Angie Geiger flashes a Dorito mouth. Four bums wandering the streets of St. Louis pause for a snapshot. 128 FISH FRY Would you like some more fish, sir? One or two pieces? What? I can't give you all the fish because other people are hungry too. Let go, I said! Sir! Con- trol yourself! Blurs of white shirts, blue jeans, and red bandanas run from the kitchen to the tables with more fish for the community. In the gym the musty green tarp overwhelms the smell of the fried, breaded cod. This is the annual Fish Fry, the biggest money mak- er for the Senior Class. Cindy Grossnickle and Stacey Slough flash their fishy grins. Harold Marcum grimaces as he carries his 1000th tub of fish to the gym. Trent Ayres and Scott Cripe work hard to make sure everyone has enough tartar sauce. Seniors prepare take out bags of fish, cole slaw, beans and ice cream. 129 The goblins will get Li'l Orphan Stacey if she don't watch out. Wendy Sanson and Laurie Robison seem to be taking a break but are actually in the middle of a routine. Amy Dockter and Chris Bradley try to smile while doing a routine, the fourth time! Tana DeLaughter is crowned North Man- chester Junior Miss 1985. 130 In November a group of senior girls donned sunglasses, bermu- das, and tropical shirts, lounged on beach towels and danced the Pony to Beach Boys music. Surf- er throwbacks from California in the 60's? No, just eleven girls vy- ing for the title of North Man- chester Junior Miss 1985 with the theme Summer Memories. Twelve hours of strenuous dance work in four days took their toll on the girls. Sore bo- dies and aching muscles caused them to warily approach desks and only gingerly place weight on their posteriors. Talent ranged from poetry readings by Missy Wise, Chris Bradley, and Lisa Bechtold, to a gymnastic routine performed by Juli Cornell. Tana DeLaughter and Wendy Sanson performed solos while Shelly Caudill did a lip sync. Sherri Abbot recon- structed a scene from the play Juvie, and Amy Dockter danced a jazz routine. Laurie Robison captured the talent award with her original comedy monologue entitled Little Sister. Tana DeLaughter was crowned 1985 North Manchester Junior Miss. Amy Dockter and Laurie Robison were first and second runners-up respectively. Laurie also received the Spirit of Ju- nior Miss award voted on by the girls, and Amy was awarded the youth and fitness. Tana re- ceived the Academic Ability award along with Poise and Ap- pearance. All in all it was another successful Junior Miss. The girls have fun in the artificial sun, dancing to music from the Beach Boys. Second Runner-up Laurie Robison, Ju- nior Miss Tana DeLaughter, and First Runner-up Amy Dockter show their ex- citement with their smiles. During a break, Amy Dockter, Missy Wise, and Shelly Caudill munch on food provided by Hardee's. 131 SPONSORS MicroWorld Computers Tom and Gracie Pinson Ann's Park Salon Dr. and Mrs. Steven L.

ULREY, DELPHA 45, 79, 107 153 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. In a year tainted with the blood stains of disaster and terrorism, it's hard for the good events of the year to stand out. But as always, news is not all good, and, unfortunately its the pains and sorrows of our world that remain in our memory during the years to come. Three world events will stick in the minds of MHS students long into the future. We saw the tragic explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger which killed six astronauts and Christa McAuliff, the first teacher in space. We saw the USA go on the offense against terrorism as fighter planes bombed three different areas including Tripoli, Libya killing many people including civilians. Finally USA citizens went out and bought pocket geiger counters as the threat of radioactive fallout from the worst nuclear disaster ever at the Chernobyl nuclear plant near Kiev in Russia rushed over the nation. New governments were established as the Marcos family left the Phillipeans and Jean-Claud Duvalier left Haiti. President Reagan and Gorbachev held their first summit meeting to hopefully work out some of the world's problems while Mommar Kadaffi tried to destroy the world by terrorism. It was a year for deaths in mass numbers as an earthquake in Mexico and volcanic eruption in South America killed thousands. We remem- ber the airplane crashes including the c ivilian airplane that carried 248 members of the 101st Airborn Division. Then we focused our attention on our own nation where the threat of AIDS had everyone on the alert for homosexuals and scared of blood transfusions. It was also a year for the prevention of deaths as U.S.A. for Africa, Live Aid and Hands Across America raised money for the needy of our nation and the world. In South Africa, Desmond Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent resistence in the war between the blacks and whites and in the USA, Martin Luther King's birthday was celebrated as a national, but not school, holiday. We stretched our necks to look high in the sky for Halley's Comet and deep into the depths of the ocean to find the remains of the Titanic. In opposite oceans, the Achille Lauro was hijacked and Humphrey, the whale, got lost and swam up the Sacremento River. In sports, Patrick Ewing signed a $17 million contract with the New York Knicks and Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's record for most lifetime hits with 4192. Kansas City won the World Series and The Fridge and The Superbowl Shuffle helped the Bears easily run away with the Superbowl victory. In tennis, the teenagers excelled as 17-yr-old Boris Becker won Wimbeldon, and 16-yr-old Steffi Graf beat Martina Navra- tilova. ■ Jf. It was a year for new clothes. Someone spilled fruit on Bermuda shorts and suddenly we have jams. Someone else got plastic shoes too close to the tire and we got jelly shoes and bracelets. Swatches no longer told time and Mom and Dad's nerd clothes suddenly are called paisleys and they're o.k. to wear. Let's not forget Levi's 501 Blues and the return of stirrup pants and Hawaiian shirts. In the movies, kids took the spotlight with The Breakfast Club and Saint Elmo's Fire. We were proud to be Americans after seeing Rambo and Rocky IV The Color Purple and Out of Africa took all the awards from the Academy. We won't forget the deaths of Orsen Wells, Rock EHudson and Yul Brenner that shocked the nation while bookworms and teachers mourned the deaths of E.B. White and T.H. White the authors of Charlott's Web and The Once Future King respectively. The world was aTso shocked at the death of Samantha Smith, the 13-yr-old girl, who after writing a letter to Gorbachev, was invited to visit the Kremlin. In the musical world, Twisted Sister told us we weren't going to take it anymore, and Motley Crue brought back Smoking in the Boy's Room. We saw Sammy Hagar join Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen break Michael Jackson's record for most hit singles off a single album. Several older groups stood aside while new groups like A-ha and Whitney Houston became popular. On TV, The Cosby Show, Moonlighting and Miami Vice be- came the favorite shows of students. Closer to home, Manchester was picked by Good Morning, Amer- ica to bo Small Town, USA, and we also celebrated our town's 150th anniversary. Charles Boebel wrote the play Memory Speaks about our town, and Blair Helman, president of Manchester College, retired after 30 years of service. The Main Street bridge was one-lane for a long time while being repaired and Lances bought out Snyder's supermar- ket. At MHS it was the year of Scott's hovercraft, Michele's rubber chick- en and John's yell. The parking lot still isn't paved but Student Council voted to have the drive in front of the school named Squire Drive. Mr. Benton came through brain surgery with flying colors and returned to school by the end of the year. Mrs. Davenport had a baby boy and Mrs. Alspaugh's tummy was quite plump by the end of the school! It was a year of tragic deaths and a year of joyful cries. So much has happened, yet so much more is still to come. We can cry and laugh about the past but together we can only hope and pray that we have a future. — Matt Doudt FUN - that's what it's all about! Without the fun and laughs wc had, Mov ing Pictures wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable. Although we started the year all fired up, we found it more and more difficult to complete the supposed easy tasks of making up captions and meetings deadlines. It's no secret that we would have rather wasted our time by roaming the halls than to pick up a pen and cropper to put a bunch of pictures together to form a page of memories. The many laughs with Chiquita banana stickers and cutting Dapper Dan’s body parts off helped ease the pressure and let us have a good time while putting together a good yearbook. Moving Pictures was started in June of 1985 at yearbook camp sponsored by Josten's at Manchester College. We decided our theme and colors, gath- k ered ideas and had our cover designed by an artist from Josten's. Soon we were busy designing pages and trying to get copy and pictures in. Without the help of the journalism class, we couldn't have done it. We'd especially like to thank Chris burke for drawing our cover, Doug Meyer for indexing the yearbook, Tim Wion and Suellen Shively for their extra work on copy, and Sherry Abbott and Becky Reynolds for the use of their typing skills. Special thanks to John Whitcraft and Jeff Gunter for their excellent pictures. Last, because the best should be saved for last, we'd like to thank Jane: there's no way we could have made it without you! We'd also like to thank Mark Childs for his help in creating Moving Pictures. We tried to make our yearbook fun and easygoing. We all sincerely hope it will bring you years of enjoymer' The Editors ent. ]OSTENS
