Table Of Contents 1 Jolene Kastner and Tracy Abbott slyly fisure their personal profit while sellins fish fry tickets. Peter Crais teaches Tim Spang, Steve Straiger, and Pat Brandenburg the proper technique to bread fish. WHAT A CATCH! Lifeless fish lay motionless on wire Srates, dreading the hot greased bath they were about to experience. Three men stood over these bubbling hot oceans to guard any escapists. Using their slotted spoons as deadly weapons, on the slightest move- ment, dinner would be made. On Oct. 11, thousands of pounds of fish were served by members of the senior class. The fish fry created hilarious memories such as the yellow vanilla ice cream, and the over anxious table clean-up crew. Most of all, seniors will remember the angered cries, I want more fish! MHS Steps Into The Past Look Into “Our Town” “Our Town” was chosen because its theme of life in a small town has ties with North Manchester’s sesque- centenial celebration this year. “Our Town” is an excel- lent play which can be produced without an elaborate set and stage. For this reason, the play was performed in the more intimate MJHS auditorium. Directors this year were Jane Bales and Susan Klin- gler, assisted by Suellen Shively. Two of the leads were played by David Amiss and Laura Shewman. Matt Doudt saved the play by stepping in for the other lead, George Gibbs, only a week and a half before the performances. Jane Bales also directed Our Town” when it was performed at MHS 19 years ago. Nancy Alspaugh, now the guidance counselor assistant athletic director at MHS, played the part of Mrs. Gibbs. Alspaugh, as well as Vice-Principal Jim Smith, had a part in the 1986 produc- tion. Senior cast members pause before showtime to reflect back on their efforts to make Our Town a success. Andy Roth and Shelia Bradley reign as Manches- ter High School s Homecoming king and queen. The students at MHS go wild and crazy with cheering dur- ing the pre-Homecoming pep session. Washed Away By The Homecoming Reign Asain this year the Homecomins festivities brought thunderstorms. The parade was cancelled, but a muddy football game went on as scheduled. The Squires fought a hard battle but were unable to hold off the South- wood Knights. Under an umbrella, Sheila Bradley was crowned Home- coming queen, and Andy Roth waded off the field to be named Homecom- ing king. Members of the court were Liz Swain, Steph Schuler, Steff Carter, and Valerie Bazzoni. Following the game, MHS students Kicked off their shoes,” dried out their clothes, and gathered at the high school for the homecoming dance in the gym. Using the theme of Gilligan's Island, the fresh- man class took first place in the float competi- tion. Kelly Tackitt dances confidently across the stage in her jazz routine for the talent competition. Junior Miss Becky Reynolds and first and second run- ners-up Patty Sturtsman and Liz Swain receive their awards. Becky Reynolds receives an encouraging hug from a friend after being crowned the 1986 Junior Miss. REYNOLDS WRAPS IT UP! Nine MHS seniors vied for the title of 1986 North Manchester Junior Miss. The theme this year was A Halloween Party,” and the girls danced to such songs as Monster Mash” in their physical fitness rou- tine. The talents ranged from dance routines by Melissa Heavilon, Kelly Tackitt and Patty Sturtsman, to a gymnastics routine performed by Tammie Wion. Liz Swain performed a song and dance routine while Chris Garman read poetry. Serena Ladson performed a creative dance, and Jenny Warner acted out a skit. Becky Reynolds received the talent award with her piano solo entitled A Sensation.” Becky Reynolds was crowned 1986 N Manchester Junior Miss. Becky also captured the Poise and Appearance and the Spirit of Junior Miss awards. Patty Sturtsman and Liz Swain were first and second runners-up respectively. Kelly Tackitt received the Academic Ability award, and Tammie Wion won the Youth Fitness Award. According to Becky, The best part of Junior Miss was getting to know everybody. And the worst part was getting up at 5:30 in the morning for dress rehearsal! Lined up for the most exciting moment of the evening, the contestants wait for the naming of the Junior Miss. Twinkle, Twinkle Shawn The Star The Diviners, the Manchester College Homecoming play, was not only well written, but also featured some excellent acting by MHS student Shawn yeakle. Shawn tried out for the play, cast of which consists mostly of college students, and was awarded with the lead for his superb acting skills. Although it's highly unusual for a high school student to have a major role, let alone the lead in a college play, Shawn showed that he deserved the part by turning in a stirring performance on the night of the play. I feel I did a good job. I enjoyed playing Buddy and being a dumb boy,” remembers Shawn. Shawn Yeakle sits on the stage surrounded by his cast mates in the Manchester College homecoming play. Bob Aughinbaugh marks his head with his football number for spirit the day MHS battles against the Golden Eagles of Oak Hill. Cutting It Close To The Razor’s Edge In the age of Jim McMahons and Brian Bosworths, it is becoming in- creasingly difficult to be and look like an individual. Haircuts are becoming shorter, and clothes are becoming more bizarre. Bob Aughinbaugh, Chuck Goodrich and John Stone found a way to stand out among MHS stu- dents. The three Squire football players shaved their hair and painted their football numbers on the side of their heads for the opening game of the football Sectional against rival Oak Hill. We did it to stand out. To be dif- ferent,” says Stone. We needed to be pumped up for the game.” John Stone, Chuck Goodrich, and Bob Aughinbaugh get into the spirit of the football sectional with new haircuts. Squcte -May Shelia Bradley steps out of the cafeteria for cooler air after being crowned Sweetheart Queen. The Christmas tree, nicely decorated by the Sunshine Society, stands as a seasonal reminder in the front lobby. Dreaming Of A White Christmas Living In A Green One Christmas of '86 was totally the opposite of the blizzard of 78. No snow plows were needed, no sleds were used and no school days were cancelled. Temperatures ranged from the low 30’s into the high 40's. Teddy Ruxpins, Glo- Worms, Pound Puppies and Omnibot 2000's were hot selling items for kids. Clothes and money were the main presents for teenagers and adults. The traditional Christmas feasts and the ceremonial opening of presents were conducted as usu- al. Some people though, were lucky enough to travel to des- tinations ranging from Grandmother’s house to Moscow. The Sunshine Society bought a Christmas tree and decorated the halls of MHS and then gave the tree to a needy family before Christmas. The Christmas dance, sponsored by the French Club, was after a home basketball game on Sat., Dec. 20. The overall feeling about Christmas this year was, Without snow, Christmas seemed like just another day.” 6 Melissa Heavilon and Eric Underwood anxiously await the start of the Sweet- heart dance Let Me Call You Sweetheart The most meaninsful night for couples came to MHS on Feb. 14. The sparkling decorations in the caf- eteria set a romantic mood for all. Multicolored lights blinked on and off during fast dances, then the lights were dimmed for slow ones. Later in the evening, the Sweetheart candidates were introduced and the queen was crowned. Members of the court were juniors Sonja James and Joyce Hoover, and sopho- more Shannon Howard. Senior Shelia Bradley was crowned queen. I was so surprised,” Sheila remem- bers. It's something I'll never forget.” Melissa Borg is ready to head to the beach and hit the waves on beach day during Sectional week. TO THE HOOP! Spirit finally hit MHS the week of the basketball Sectional. The school looked different that week. The students showed their spirit and support by dressing for hat day, sweats day, beach day, black out day, and spirit day. On beach day, the weather definitely wasn’t beach weather, but people came dressed in shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and with towels wrapped around their necks. The spirit continued on to the games. For the first time, the cheerblock actually supported the team by cheering. Although we didn't win Sectional, it wasn’t because of a lack of school spirit. The browning leaves contrast the left over blue sky of summer, predicting the arrival of autumn. Taking advantage of the first signs of spring, Stephanie Leonhard and Steve Straiger enjoy an ear- ly morning in the park. r No one is around the park on a hot summer day, allowing the swing to stand empty, waiting for a passenger. Ready to zoom down a hill, the sled waits to be dug out of its frozen bed of snow. «v 'ime Sp inning through the tunne (of 3, cjCeaving yesterday a gray shadow passing seasons ddmpty summer Swings frozen winter sfeds Ijears Gripping over nightmares oj memories Searching for a white future Oh rowi n g 3 me U ind Cyras pi n y tom or row - Stephanie oLeonhard Jeff Brubaker samples some of the wide variety of foods found at Union Station in Indianapolis. David Beowulf Amiss and Jody Wiglaf Fausnight are ready to slay any monster that raids the Medieval party. The Heart Of Indiana As the sun rose on our state's capitol, 45 MHS students, members of government and journalism classes, dragged themselves off a bus after a two-hour ride. The brisk spring air seemed to awaken each stu- dent as they walked through the reserved parking lot and up the stairs to the glass revolving doors of the Capitol Building. After a brief wait, we were escorted to the House Chambers by Mr. Jones’ son, Mark. We arrived in time to hear the last few minutes of floor discussion before the house dismissed to caucus. After this, we spoke with Representative Greg Mishler and Senator Harold Wheeler on their feelings on the Governor's Education Bill. Al- though the bill had not yet reached the Senate for approval, Represen- tative Mishler was against parts of it, claiming, Quantity does not al- ways insure quality.” Next we were taken on a guided tour of the rest of the Capitol, including the Senate, Lt. Governor Mutz’s office and Governor Robert Orr’s office. By this time we were all hungry so we again braved the cold and walked four blocks to Union Station to eat and to explore the many shops. We found that everytime we bought something, we were also paying for the luxury and music of the mall. Andy Roth paid $6.75 for a hamburger, fries and a coke, and Matt Doudt and Doug Meyer paid $13.04 for a small pizza. Several people came home with an extra earring in their ears, and we all climbed off the bus at MHS tired and ready for a nap. A Feast Fit For A King On Thurs., Feb. 12, rather than celebrate Lin- coln's Birthday, the English Literature class held its semi-annual Medieval party at the home of Kristi Parker. Students attending the festivity feasted on Kristi's oxtail soup and Patty Sturts- man's bread, as they sipped Jeff Fahs' spiced ci- der. Sheila Bradley was a mysterious gypsy and Kasy Fierstos and David Amiss swung swords high and mighty. Everyone, including Scott Bjor- tomt, looked magical in the candlelight as they danced in a circle with Jane Bales leading to Camelot” music. The dinner was even better than watching The Slaying Game for Beowulf or listening to the Macbeth records. The second semester English Uterature class enjoys feasting on Medieval cusine. 9 One thing I’ll miss about high school is being around the same people that I've been around for the last twelve years.” — IhUaa Tracy L.

Members of the Senior Class Experience a Night Full of Leaving at 11:45 a.m., Fri., May 15, 60 sen- iors headed to- wards Senior night at King's THRILLS AND CHILLS Island. After a 3Vs hour bus ride, with only one stop at a McDonald's, the group was ready to explore the amusement park. Ev- eryone enjoyed trying the park's many rides, especially Vortex, the new roller coaster. It was great! I can't describe it. I've never been on anything like it. Really amazing! remembers Kasy Fierstos. Spending all night at King’s Island was definitely tiring, but little sleep was obtained on the bus coming home. It was quite a trip to remember! Ernie Francis and Richard Dalton gulp down chocolate shakes before returning to the bus. Dale Hattabaugh and Hoss Kennedy are stocked up with food for the big journey. Jodi Garman captures a view of the King's Island entrance from the Eiffel Tower. Michelle Howard, John Bakehorn, and Tina Bradford sample some of the park's jnique foods. Senior Trip 17 M Like -m Ne Other The blue lights glow throughout the room. Couples wander about, some laughing, all smiling. 144 MHS students join together in the IPFW Memorial Union Building for the Junior-Senior Prom, May 2. This year couples were treated to valet parking services by some of the Junior class parents. The couples enter the prom, We've Got Tonight,” under an archway of blue and white balloons. The ballroom sparkles with decorations of silver and blue. Girls parade around in dresses ranging from pink with delicate white lace to silver with striking black lace. The boys escort them wearing tuxedos and suits. All students enjoy them- selves, spending an evening with someone special. Doug Meyer and Kelly McKee, Matt Doudt and his date hang around together during a fast song. The chaperones enoy chatting with each other while over- seeing the evenings activities. When not on the dance floor, the refreshment table was a hit with several guys. Locking Away Our Memories We Slip Out Of Oke Pad “You'll Always Be My Friend 1987 Senior Class Song Music by Matt Doudt Words by Matt Doudt and Tammie Wion VERSE 1 CHORUS VERSE 2 Playing on the monkey bars Chasing girls at recess, Making the maypoles go round and round. Playing on the swing set, Pretending we could fly, Oh, how we dreamed of growing up someday. But as we start a new chapter, The next page in our lives, We still find ourselves, Pretending we can fly. We've been friends forever, But now it's time to break the tie, Of all the memories, Of days gone by. I won't forget your smile, I’ll take it with me to the end, And even if our paths don't cross, I’ll always know that you'll be my friend. We've always dreamed of leaving, And now the time has come, Our minds are full of questions, With answers to none. Could we wake up in the morning, Knowing our lives haven't changed? Is it possible to be unafraid? It's time to draw in the anchor, Set sail from home, We've got to seek out our vision, In the world alone. Ready to take a step into the future, the graduates seat themselves during the processional while the ceremony begins. 20 Graduation Diplomas in hand, Jeff Fahs, Bridget Greene, and Scott Gidley consider what the future will bring them.

If a traffic sign has more than six words it's probably meant for pedestrians. 2. To cure boredom, roll down a window and lean out with both arms and your head, passing cars love it. 3. If the car has no radio, force a passenger to sing. 4. Stop at stoplights, especially if they're in front of the police station. 5. Don't mistake the gas pedal for the brakes. 6. Give pedestrians the right of way — there are better ways to control population. kissing everyone thinks about it, a lot of us do it ' MY FIRST KISS WAS WHEN “During recess with a girl I lik- ed when I was in the fifth grade. — Troy Dietrich I played spin-the-bottle in ft the sixth grade. — Abby Spang I was at a party the summer after seventh grade. — Andy Sturtsman 36 Class of 1990 Deanna Abbott Jennie Archer Jason Bakehorn Ansie Baker Mike Barbour John Bazzoni Barbara Betten Lori Betten Bubby Bradley Charolette Bradley Stacey Brags Steve Brown Jodie Beaver Jodi Beck Jon Beck Carmen Beery Jim Beery Robin Beery Mike Brubaker Robbie Brubaker Jennie Carr Tony Carroll Gary Casper Dan Castle Jared Christiansen Mary Ann Coble Andrew Cornell Melissa Cornett Brandon Cripe Beth Damron “I was in the woods at a ballgame the summer of sev- enth grade. — Steve Brown I was in the fourth grade and we were camping. — Gary Casper When!

Out in public, the older generation seems to gawk at the shiny slippers, wondering what will be next! 42 Trends i Trends 43 Fashion Fun Although Jams started out as a type of shorts manufac- tured only in Hawaii, the name Jams” came to refer to any long, printed shorts with a drawstring waist- band.

Nerds can- dy has caught fire. Not only is the candy available in fla- vors such as grape, cherry, strawberry, green apple, orange, and cherry cola, but other Nerds items have hit the market with great suc- cess. Nerds cereal is avail- able in enlarged boxes, with the famous two-sided dis- penser. Cliff’s Notes, the little pa- perback saviors that have been around for years, were found alongside many novels assigned by English teachers. It wasn't uncom- mon that whenever a 1984 book was seen in a locker, a yellow and black striped book with the same title was not far behind. P2P (CT Wt 1.8 01 Hanging Administration Spending much of his time during the day buried under a load of paper, Mr. Smith questions what he should do with the boys’ basketball schedule. Referring to other schools on his Indiana map. Dr. Day gives a quick smile as he decides which school he needs to visit. 44 Administration The 1986-87 school year brought some changes in our school that kept principal Andrew Day and vice-principal Jim Smith busy. One of the changes that affected the entire student body was allowing ISS students to make up any tests or quiz- zes that were missed. For the safety of all students new rules were set as to where and when students could drive during school hours. The new rule that probably was discussed the most was the suspen- sion of an athlete from all sports if caught smoking, drinking, or using drugs any time during or after school hours. The school board was kept busy this year trying to decide if two existing elementary schools should be remodeled or replaced. After many discussions and meetings, it was decided that two new schools should be built, one in Laketon and one to replace Chester. Superintendent Dr. Eckert, during his long week, manages to find a few min- utes to give basketball pointers to Darren Goff during Sectional week. Dr. Day and Mr. Smith discuss notes between classes, obviously it’s something sinister! Again at his map. Dr. Day reviews with school secretary, Mrs. Mills, about his travel arrangements to Southern Indiana for a conference. Mrs. Bales tries to explain to Mr. Smith how Brian Walsh disrupted her jour- nalism class. 45 William Shakespeare — “What a piece of work is a man! ■ t How noble in reason! rH How infinite inXaculty. “Do not pray for an easy “A house divided against it- “In most any endeavor, life.

She also teaches at Manchester College. In her spare time, Sponseller loves to cook exotic foods like moussaka and baklava. She also likes to read although she complains that she never has as much time as she would like. She enjoys outdoor activities such as horseback riding, waterskiing, boating and sledding with her children, Jerlyn and Jeremy. Sponseller is spending time this year editing a book that her husband has written and teaching her daughter how to write. She is considering writing in a journal again and has several ideas for short stories. These past two years, a baby boom has occurred among faculty women. Susan Klingler had a boy born on February 1. Last year Nancy Alspaugh had a boy, named Nathan. She decided to wait before starting a family. She wanted to get herself a career first. “It’s quite a difference from driving a Corvette to now a brown Cutlass with a baby seat in the back!” Also last year, Jody Davenport gave birth to a boy named Aus- tin, but he won’t be the last! She is again pregnant for her second child. “If I have a third baby then I’d want a fourth so they can be close in age.” Well, there you have it — the baby booming mothers of MHS! Mrs. Sponseller sits amid her “chicken tracks” while she listens carefully to a student explain his paper. Mrs. Alspaugh and Ms. Klingler listen attentively as Mrs. Daven- port explains her first pregnancy. Edward Jones has been teaching at Manchester High School for many years. Back at Indiana Univer- sity, Jonesy chose to teach history because it was a hobby for him and he liked the idea of making his living with his hobby. As many students know, Jonesy loves essay quizzes and essay tests. He feels they show him what the student knows or doesn’t know. “They also provide an opportunity for the student to do some writing. Most teachers don’t have students write often enough.” As most Juniors know, Jonesy’s traveling has acquired him many famous artifacts such as the Kensington Stone, and Jedidiah’s petrified ear. Jonesy is world famous for his prediction of the first snow day of the year. In the past twenty-some years, he has once been correct! But he refuses to discuss his secret methods. Mr. Jones has taught at Manchester for a long time and is determined to continue until they carry him out. Mr. Jones has earned the reputation of having a fun and interest- ing class. His comical methods of teaching and numerous stories in history have made him many students' favorite teacher. Faculty 47 This is Teacher Keith. The shorts and T-shirt he’s wearing are fine for tennis — but for teaching? Help clothe him in the outfit of your choice. Now, the scientific look is in, but wouldn’t the long coat get caught in Keith doll’s typewriter? This outfit consists of a comfortable shirt with the sleeves rolled up (to keep Keith doll’s arms free) and jeans finished off with sensible shoes. Could this be the set he’s looking for? This is a more dressy ensemble: the jacket, the tie, the shirt, the pants, and the shoes. It’s nice, but is it right for Keith doll? 48 Keith and Kay We have chosen the ultimate teacher dolls: Keith Metzger and Kay Sponseller. But they seem to have lost their teaching clothes! Can you help them by matching the three other teacher outfits to Keith and Kay? Keith and Kay 49 Creating the country look such as this en- semble would be nice. The innocent white with plenty of lace skirt and those cowboy boots would be great for Kay doll to ride her horses. But for school? This lovely outfit takes on the business look. The skirt with jacket combine for that day at the office. But is it right for Kay doll? You decide! This is Teacher Kay. Her safari look is for the jungle, but I think she has This special dress is almost too dressy the wrong idea for teaching. Help for English class, don’t you think? clothe her in the outfit of your choice. Maybe you should try another! Counselors Dale Flora has worked diligently as a guid- ance counselor at MHS for 32 years. His jobs in- clude organizing tests for the students, making scholarships available to seniors and counseling the last half of the alphabet plus one-half of the voca- tional students. He also supervises pre-enrollment activities, helps students who need scheduling as- sistance, develops the school profile and serves on a committee for scholarships for seniors. Mr. Flo- ra’s main responsibility is teaching one-half of the ninth graders vocational information. In this class, students learn of colleges in Indiana, career oppor- tunities and computer literacy. A large portion of Mr. Flora’s time is spent with stu- dents, helping them sort out schedule problems. Mrs. Alspaugh tries to straighten out her file cabinet af- ter a long year of being crammed with sports schedules. Nancy Alspaugh was first at MHS while she attended high school here. Mrs. Alspaugh returned to MHS two years ago when she left her previous job at Benton Central High School. Her responsi- bilities include counseling those students whose names are in the first half of the alphabet. She as- sists them every year with their schedules and fu- ture plans. Mrs. Alspaugh is in charge of the scho- larships, honors and awards at MHS and is the sponsor of the National Honor Society. Mrs. Al- spaugh also serves as assistant athletic director at MHS. She is in charge of all the girls sports, and also schedules all the junior high sports. 50 Counselors Office, AY The office aides for the 1986-87 school year were depended upon for many tasks. These includ- ed: answering the phone and taking messages, col- lecting attendance, and delivering messages to fel- low MHS students. The AV department, under the direction of Doris Snell, was once again greatly ap- preciated but unrecognized. Not only were they re- sponsible for delivering films, record and tape players, they also had the added responsibility of providing lighting and sound for the fall play, Jr. Miss and other school productions and activities. Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Kerr often work together, helping to make MHS a fun place to attend. Mrs. Snell’s warm personality has made her receive the title “Grandma Snell.” OFFICE AIDES Row 1: S.

Office, AV 51 READY SET GO Classes and Clubs ndifferent as in years past, classes followed basic patterns in lectures. In English, freshmen were taught basic skills, sophomores read Cyrano de Bergerace and Julius Caesar, juniors were taught how to write creatively, and seniors wrote term papers. Math students learned theories of logarithms, calculus, and quadratic equations, science students worked in the lab and advanced biology students took the annu- al trip to Salamonie in search of exotic bugs. Social science teachers taught students the history of the world and the United States. Business students discovered the typewriter and shorthand, and phy. ed. students were kept in shape with gymnastics, bowling, and football. New club SADD sported posters around the school in hope of dissuading students to drink. Sunshine once again sponsored the Sweetheart Dance. Although the curriculum and clubs were basically the same, MHS had another year with safe and fun-filled days. Class Division 53 English Our talented English department at MHS includes a whopping eight persons — Jane Bales, Jo Ann Byers, Bob Gilbert, Susan Klingler (with Mrs. Kelsay as her sub), Deb Miller, David Pritchard, Kay Sponseller, and Shelley Walgamuth. Students were taught language, literature, composition, speech, drama and journalism. This year the ninth and tenth grade honors’ classes were combined. The highlight of the first semester was a field trip to Chicago via Amtrak. Students worked their way through Basic Skills and in the upper grades, term pa- pers. Unfortunately, no speech or drama class met this year. Nearly 100 students went to see a long and bawdy production of “Romeo and Juliet.” Several field trips were taken to Manchester College, including a convo by Alice Friman, poet. Once more MHS students ex- celled in creative writing contests; for example, at Man- chester (College) competitions, they swept the poetry category. The English Lit. class once again held a Me- dievil dinner, and American Lit. students did a scene from the Scarlet Letter. This year was the first year sen- iors would not have graduated (received a diploma) un- less they had passed all Basic Skills. NEWSPAPER Row 1: J. Fausnight. B. Kelsay, D. Meyer, S. Shively, J.

Jane Bales’ creative writing students were assigned to construct a decora- tive object. They were made of an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll. The students’ toot-a-doos ranged from a full roll of toilet paper, named Banner, to a pair of glasses with giggling eyes. The toot-a-doos were used for inside and out- side journal entries. The purpose of the toot-a-doos was to make students use intricate details in their writing. Mrs. Bales' class holds their toot-a-doos to their eyes and describe the pho- tographer. Amy Fahrnow proudly displays Banner, her toot-a-doo friend for Mrs. Bales' creative writing class. 56 English During the Honors’ English Held trip to Chicago, Mike Brown. Brian Kreps, Laura Shewman, Penny Kelsey, Colleen Yeakle, and Cheree Dolby stop to admire the tall buildings and look at the map. Randy Heflin pretends to be Groucho Marx and a martian at the same time with the help of his toot-a-doo. During the biannual English Lit. medievil parly, Andy Roth gets into the spirit with his purple duds and green grapes. Mrs. Kelsay, who took Ms. Klinglcr’s place late in the year, gets ready for a rough English lecture. Mr. Pritchard, who teaches one English class throughout the day, explains to his students the proper way to use the library. Mrs. Sponscllcr, in her heavy class schedule, finds a few moments to help her students with their papers and give them pointers. English 57 Math Jeff Fclgar tries intently to figure out one of Miss Stone’s algebra problems while his classmates get it. Mr. Miller’s many years experience has helped him to successfully explain how a line is drawn perpendicular to another. A frightened Mr. Sittler stands back as his first year algebra students race to answer addition problems on the computer. The math department at MHS consists of Dick Miller, Tom Sittler, and Edith Stone. Senior math and Geometry are taught by Mr. Miller. Mr. Sittler teaches Algebra I and consumer math, while Miss Stone teaches Geometry, Algebra I and Algebra II. A new addition to the math program this year was the math field day. During this day of competition, many students played games such as hex, rapid transit, and ciphon for valuable prizes. In Mr. Miller’s words, “Math field day was a huge success!” 58 Math During the Math Field Day, Chris Singpicl and Chuck Goo- drich fight to be the winner of Hex. In the library on the math field day, students of all grades team up with a partner and fight to be the winner of Hex. In February 62 people participated in the First MHS Math Field Day. Events in the competition included the logic game hex, the problem solving game called rapid transit and the computation ciphering event. Math teach- ers Tom Sittler, Dick Miller and Edith Stone planned the event. Winning prizes included t-shirts, calculators, Pizza Hut pizzas, mugs and record albums. All teachers agreed that the competition went well and are looking forward to planning another one for next year. While there was a good turnout this year, Sittler felt “if we had it again there would be much more interest.” Math 59 Science Mr. Mycr spends many long hours grading all the papers he has his students work on. Mr. Underwood tries to explain to his first year biology stu- dents the term osmosis. MHS students have a new laboratory room to work in this year. Jim Myer, chemistry teacher said, “The lab’s main purpose is to take care of the science classes that don’t have a lab, such as Mr. Under- wood’s physical science class. We do need a lab for that class and it was close to the other science rooms so it was easy to facilitate water and gas into the room.’’ In the fall, Harvey Underwood’s advanced biology class traveled to Salamonie River to collect leaves and bugs. They also learned new scientific names for each which added to their list of 50 leaves and bugs. Science student, Doug Meyer said, “Chemistry II was the best class I have ever had be- cause of all the lab we did during the second semes- SCIENCE CLUB Row 1: C. Goodrich. K. Trick, M.

They are psychology, taught by Phil En- yeart, government and world history, taught by Bob Gilbert, geography, taught by Richard Shep- herd, and American frontier and U.S. history, taught by Edward Jones. Although U.S. history is required for juniors to take and government is re- quired for seniors, they are classes in which much can be learned about our country today and long ago. These courses in the social science department are useful and helpful to the college bound student. During a field trip to Indianapolis, the government class, along with a few other classes, had a chance to talk to Indiana Rep. Greg Mishler. Mr. Enyeart, in psychology, often refers to Psychology Today for articles to help teach his class. Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Jones meet between classes and discuss their notes on how they’re going to tease their students. Social Science 61 Business Teachers Led Benton, Keith Metzger, and Debbie Miller make up the business department at MHS. They prepare students for the business world by teaching them typing, shorthand, ac- counting, introduction to business and business law. Some fortunate business students took a field trip to Fort Wayne to visit a jail. Students enrolled in a business course have the option of belonging to the Future Business Leaders of America, spon- sored by Mr. Metzger. In this popular club, they did such things as going to Pocagon for a tobogan- ning trip, listening to various business men, such as Charles Warner of Yards of Fun, talk of their businesses, and later in the year, Mr. Metzger took the seniors to the Takayoka House in Fort Wayne for a Chinese dinner. Officers of this large club were Liz Swain, Serena Ladson, Shelia Bradley, Hayley Stine, and Melissa Heavilon. Mr. Metzger explains to his business law class how to answer the questions to his test. Willie Justice, Don McCune, Scott Gidley, Todd Howard, and Gene Dyson illustrate typical crimi- nals in the lineup of the Fort Wayne jail. The jail was visited by the business law classes.

Business 63 Foreign Language This year was the first year at MHS for both our Spanish and French teachers. The Spanish De- partment was headed by new teacher Pam Cooksey. Mrs. Cooksey kept her students busy learning how to conjugate more verbs than they knew existed. Students enjoyed imaginary trips to Spanish-speaking countries, making family trees and having fiestas. Mrs. Cooksey also led an active Spanish Club which included many fiestas, such as the pinata party. Shelly Walgamuth was the head of the French Department. She was involved in sponsoring the busy French Club which held a Christmas dance with Jeff Davis as DJ. They also had a Halloween party to welcome and initiate new members. Later in the year, the club traveled to Fort Wayne for “un bon diner.” Mrs. Cooksey lets her class talk openly among themselves, in Spanish of course, to improve their speaking of the language. First year MHS teacher, Mrs. Walgamuth first explains new words and then she has her students repeat them. 64 Foreign Language FRENCH CLUB Row 1: H. Walsh, M. Hileman, L. Shcwman,T. Trick, K.

I hope to do some fancy work with the jump ropes.” Mrs. Davenport left at the start of spring break, but will return next fall. Val Wein- stein replaced her for the remainder of the year. Phil Enyeart, the boys’ phys. ed. teacher, had his class doing things such as basketball, tumbling, and bowling. Chad Kock shows his fellow classmates the proper skill in reaching the top of the rope. Bowling, one of the more popular sports in phys. ed., is played at the bowling alley by the park.

Learning Disabilities Vicki Smith has a gift of teaching students who may have complications in certain studies. She majored in Elementary Education and minored in Special Education in college. After college, she de- cided she would rather teach a smaller group of students. She then chose to teach students that may have a learning disability and came to MHS. Mrs. Smith teaches a total of 33 students but at times she only has 12 students in class. Mrs. Smith’s learning disability class consists of students who are not slow in all subjects; they simply have a problem in learning subjects quickly. Mrs. Smith’s main purpose in the learning disabilities class is to help students with their homework who have trouble working at a faster speed. Mrs. Smith likes to just sit and watch her class talk among themselves. Mr. Airgood. from the junior high, comes to MHS a few periods a day and helps Mrs. Smith with her classes. Learning Disabilities 67 “The primary goal of the Art Department is to provide something for everyone. We offer classes in basic art, crafts, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and painting and, for the stu- dent who has taken all of these, independent art study.” com- ments David Pritchard, Head of the Art Department. Several art students entered their best projects in the Wabash County art exhibits and did well. Many students regard this class as a space filler or an easy “A”; then they realize that the classes are also challenging and fun. “I’m looking forward to a career in art and I think Mr. Pritchard has really prepared me well for this. I never realized how much fun that it could be,” com- ments Senior Cheryl McKee. There are other benefits to be- ing involved in an art class. The painting and independent study students took a field trip to the Ft. Wayne Museum of Art where they spent the afternoon admiring works from Gotlieb to other high school students. Steve Honeycutt snickers to himself as he masters the hard project of shaping clay. Some of Mr. Pritchard’s art students enjoy themselves on the field trip to the Museum of Art in Ft. Wayne. Heide Walsh takes a moment away from her rug weaving to watch her classmates work laboriously on their rugs. Home Ec. “Did you wash your hands?” is a famous question in the home economics department. Pat Ringenberg has scouted the halls for the past 28 years. She has worked as the head of the home economics department and teaching six classes a day. Her classes include: consumer education, interperson- al relations, clothing and textiles, family health, housing and interior, family management, foods and nutrition, and hu- man development. In these classes, students are taught things such as their rights and responsibility as a consumer, how to get along with themselves and others, good grooming and wardrobe planning, and the systems of the body, their parts and functions, and the prevention of accidents and diseases. The class also include landscaping, architecture, and house plans, the preservation, purchase and nutritional value of food, and how to prepare for family living. Teaching all these classes and practical biology makes a busy schedule for Mrs. Ringenberg, who also had the responsibility of community dinner. In his foods and nutrition class, Jon Albright is taught by Mrs. Ringenberg the proper way to chuck corn. “No. no! I don’t wanna give back your spoon!” yells Scott Gidley as he struggles with Mrs. Rin- genberg. Mrs. Ringcnbcrg’s students take notes on every- thing she says about apples and oranges. Industrial Arts Industrial Arts is a group of skills that require the knowledge and use of machines, tools and other industrial materials. Industrial Arts at MHS is taught by Randy Snodgrass and A1 Bailey. In Drafting I and II, students were taught architec- tural skills; in the advanced class, students were able to construct an expensive clock. Dale Hattabaugh measures and weighs a piece of wood to make a ramp to ride his motorcycle on. Mr. Snodgrass teaches his students skills that they will use either on a job or in their home. Dewey Hoekscma and Bubby Bradley struggle to build the world’s first laser light cookie cutter. 70 Industrial Arts Agriculture Richard Sparrow teaches about plant science, agricultural mechanics and agricultural construc- tion in his agriculture courses, and has traveled to contests in soil judging and other related events. Past trips include places such as Wyoming, Virgin- ia and Kansas. Mr. Sparrow also leads an extreme- ly successful Future Farmers of America program. FFA sponsor Mr. Sparrow, S. Ridenour, J. Rcnz, E.

Agriculture 71 Vocational School Vocational School gave juniors and seniors in six schools a chance to learn a specific vocation during an academic school year. The Upper Wa- bash Vocational School has been operating since 1965. This year there were 84 Manchester students attending of the total 502 students. Each partici- pated in one of the 13 different occupational pro- grams. Hank Whitmer, a counselor at the Voca- tional School said, “Most graduates have told me that Vocational School was the best choice they have ever made.” Most Vocational School students are able to use their experience at jobs right after their senior year. Tracy Abbott uses the skills she has acquired from Vocational School and copies a form letter from her workbook. Jolcne Brubaker sits amid a stack of papers and takes notes from them so that she may use them for future use. 72 Vocational School Jolcne Kastncr exhibits great skill as she types a form letter from her timed writing grade. Bridget Greene pauses a moment to figure out the instructions in her sec- retarial book. Senior Darla Wilson tells her class what she thinks of the new computer age that has swept over the United States. Vocational School 73 Band “We aren’t allowed to perform again this week.” These words were heard too often by the Marching Squire band. Because of the rainy weather throughout September and Oc- tober, the Squire band was unable to perform their halftime show at a home football game. Director Terry McKee and drum majors Sara Smith and Heide Walsh were undaunted by the weather, however, and they led the band to an excel- lent showing at the district contest. The Squire band missed a first rating by a little over two points. In addition to contest, the band performed in the Fun Fest and Bippus parades. They also traveled to Butler University to take part in a band day with 20 other bands from around Indiana. During concert season, the band presented four con- certs. The highlight of those was hearing professional trum- peter Jerry Franks, who dazzled the audience with his version of Flight of the Bumblebee played on a funnel. At the home basketball games, the pitband showed expertise on such songs as Burning Heart, Sara, and All I Need is a Miracle. A twist was added by a rap song, a piccolo soloist and a surfer. Again this year, students succeeded at district contest. A total of Five solo and ensembles went on to state. Sonya Yoder on vio- lin received a perfect score of seven. All other ensembles and soloists received firsts and seconds. With much practice, the band traveled to Oak Hill for the full band contest where they exhibited skill on all three songs they played. Later in April, the band went on a tour to Thomas Marshall and Chester where they presented a full concert to students and teachers. The band rounded off a good year with the traditional Pomp and Circumstance at graduation as well as other songs. BAND Row 1: T. Koebler, V. Bazzoni, D. Lewallen. K. Juillerat, C. Yeaklc, T.

These four were among 24 from MHS out of a total of 84 from around the county to participate in the Honors’ Band program in March. After a week of heavy practicing, the band presented an ex- tremely well done concert with Col. Harphaum from the marine band as their director. Mr. McKee’s strong directing and inventive ideas have helped bring back a new, exciting band. Band 75 Choir This year the choirs performed three excellent concerts. Many of the students performed at dis- trict solo and ensemble contest and then some of these students went on to state contest at Southport High School. The Cadet choir, Concert choir, and Swing choir are all directed by Carol Davis. This year’s spring musical was “Guys and Dolls,” a musical fable of Broadway brought to life by the many talented students of MHS. In the mu- sical, Sarah (Lori Lehman) struggled with keeping her branch of the mission open to lost sinners, while Nathan Detroit (Doug Meyer) looked for a place to hold the all night crap game. These are only some of the things that were revealed during the course of the performance. The students in Mrs. Davis’s happy choir class join together in harmony and sing songs of love.

Two of these people are Jan Burchett, nurse, and Jane Whited, librarian. Our school nurse came to our aid when we weren’t feeling well or when we had a fever. She may not have always been there because she traveled from school to school, but she always made a point to tend to the pains and prob- lems of the students. Miss Whited hasn’t been here for very long, but she does her best to help each students. If there is ever a need for assistance, Miss Whited is the one to ask for help. Cooks, Bus Drivers Each day throughout the school year, many special people do their best to serve MHS students. The cooks and bus drivers are always pulling forth extra effort and time. Without the cooks, the stu- dents wouldn’t have a tasty cooked meal each day. The cooks begin early in the morning to prepare for the day’s meal for the students. The old joke of how “school lunches are not satisfying” does not apply to MHS. Many students eat the hot meals each day and compliments are made. A lot of students attending the Manchester School system use the bus daily as a way to school. Mrs. Speicher pours a secret mixture into the cabbage to make a bucket full of coleslaw. Mrs. Miller carefully opens the oven so her garlic toast won’t turn out soggy. One lonely students watches as the bus leaves him on the sidewalk in front of MHS. 79 GROUPS This year’s NHS sponsored many activies including a dance, a cake raffle and clean-up after a basketball game. Toward the end of the year, the society presented the Danforth “An I Dare You’’ leadership award to outstanding juniors. Doug McKee and Jim Turner received the nomination for the National Scholarship Com- petition. Officers for the honored club were president Jim Turner, vice-president Jeff Fahs, secretary Melissa Heavilon, and treasurer Serena Ladson. The Ski Club had another great year of skiing even with the warm- est winter in over 50 years. The club went to such places as Bitter- sweet, Swiss Valley and Mt. Waw- asee. Veteran sponsors Keith Metzger and Jane Bales were as- sisted by several board members, including Tracy Egolf, Kristi Parker, Chad Hankee, Steve Straiger, Bridget Davis, Kasy Fierstos, and Tim Spang.

Also during the 1986-87 school year, the Stu- dent Council sponsored the student exchange program. Students from schools such as Whitko, Home- stead, Columbia City, Hunting- ton, and Wawasee came to visit MHS to observe. Students from MHS as well went to those same schools. Although a large group, the Cheerblock is a relatively inactive organization. They sit together in a group during the basketball games and support the Squires. CHEERBLOCK Row 1: C. Dolby, T.

MHS held its first chapter last fall. During the Christmas sea- son, SADD distributed Christmas cards in the basketball game pro- grams wishing the community a “Safe and Happy Holiday.” They also sponsored the band Free Fare’s concert during a convo and after a basketball game. This spring SADD organized a night of dancing accompanied by speakers from Connersville who gave a pre- sentation and capped the evening off with a candlelight walk. The of- ficers were president Melissa Borg, vice-president Sam Howard, secretary Kelly MeKee, and trea- surer Jack Bentley. Sponsors were Shelly Walgamuth and Bill White. Key Club led an active year do- ing activities such as giving Easter baskets to the people at Peobody retirement home. Later in the year they had a film at president Tony DeLaughter’s house about the re- sponsibility of the Kiwanis presi- dent. The Kiwanis Club sponsors the Key Club. SADD Row 1: M. Borg, K. McKee, S.

The school’s Christmas tree was decorated by Sunshine. During one of the basketball games they held a blanket toss for the Riley Children’s Hospital and collected $250. The officers were president Beth Bechtold, vice-president Shelia Bradley, secretary Joyce Hoover, treasurer Steph Schuler. Sponsors were Kay Sponseller and Deb Miller. Under new sponsors Jody Dav- enport and her husband, FCA was quite active. They had a cook-out in the fall at the Davenports’ home. Also in the fall, they had a hayride and dance. The club sponsored a dance with the Hall Family sing- ers. At Christmas, they had a car- ry-in dinner. Because of Mrs. Dav- enports pregnancy, the club was inactive during the spring. FCA Row 1: G.

Do you know that Old Age speaks in a crackled voice, summoning the young to trade their freedom, for the captivity of a worn, wrinkled shell? Day whisks open the long ascending staircase carrying youth to the awaiting evening stars. The Night whispers hoarsely, warning the children of the rickety steps. The Dock by Kelly Tackitt The sun illuminates each swell of salty water exploding against the cement dock, the tourquoise world splitting into fine white mist. One child in a ruffly pink maillot sits alone, blonde braid twisted around a tanned finger, legs swinging over the edge, toes caught in the mist. Eyes searching for grey trickster dolphins, her only friend a swooping seagull passing now and then overhead. Lightning by Stephanie Leonhard Painting the sky with a thin streak of light, Dancing an electrifying jig above the dark hillside. The lightning stretches its limbs, Groping for a clink to The distant thunder. photos by Jeff Gunter 84 Creative Work Castles by Randy He!ft in Once a long time ago uhile our parents slept inspired by angelic dreams. tyc crept into the yard, soaked with early morning dew. the beads of happiness on every green blade.

Students can be seen running, jumping, and conditioning for their sport almost every day after school. Some students choose to involve themselves in more than one sport, even allowing time to participate in meets that take place on Saturdays. The opportunities are as diverse as the participants, and with great coaches and supportive teammates, even more students are Ready For Action! 90 Sports Division Sports Division 91 Squire Cross Country Team WINNING AGAN The Manchester cross country team once again had a successful season. The boys team extended their dual meet winning streak to 51 consecutive meets. The last loss come in 1982. The boy's team was Three Rivers Conference champions and winners of Snider Invitational, The girls' team, although limited with only 6 numbers, was also competitive this year. The girls claimed the Three Riv- ers championship. Numerous individual hon- ors were won this year. Eric Underwood became the top cross country runner in MHS history by placing 13th at the State meet. He was also Regional champion, and Sectional runner-up, placing no lower than fourth in any meet. Coach Richard Miller, stated that Eric's success came from being able to focus on his goals. Janice Hoover was a re- gional qualifier for the girls and Walter Lambert and Gene Dyson were named to the All-Sectional and All- Regional teams respec- tively. Inexperience cost the Squires another trip to the state meet. Freshman Kent Kerchner, sophomore J. D. Longanecker and junior Kevin Reed were young winners who held down the top 7 positions. The Squires' qualified for Semi-State for the 18th year in a row. Coach Miller was pleased with the way the team progressed, beating teams who were ranked high in the state polls. At the awards ceremony, Eric Underwood was given the honorary captain award, Laura McKinley earned Most Improved award, while Wal- ter Lambert received the Spencer Eschbach award for the person who most enjoys running. Gene Dyson was giv- en Rotary Mental Attitude award. The Squires are look- ing for another great season next year. p o i • N • T • S of Interest MHS OPP Columbia City 37 22 Huntington No. 33 26 Whitko 24 31 Northwood 24 31 Whitko 22 33 Northfield 18 37 Eric Underwood, state finalist, contemplates his next move.

Taylor 94 Football Squires Combine Effort to Bring Forth a WINNING SEASON The varsity football team under the supervision of head coach Al Bailey ex- perienced one of its best seasons in the last decade. The mighty Squires got off to a slow start losing the first three games of the season. Then following a 40-4 rout of the reigning TRC champions. North Mi- ami, the team witnessed some real Squire potential. Gaining confidence, Bai- ley's troops proceeded to knock-off their opponents ending the regular season at a respectable 4-4. The highlight of the fall was a last second despera- tion pass from quarterback Matt Meyer to a lone recip- ient in the end zone. This 16- 13 comeback win over Oak Hill proved to be the first victory over the TRC foe since 1969. The Gridders played a strong schedule, including the state championship Whitko Wildcats. Being out- weighed on the average of thirty to forty pounds ev- ery contest, the Squires util- ized their quickness advan- tageously. One third of the Squire matchups, however, were played on the Kenapocomoco Swamp — a definite disadvantage to the Squire game plan. The Success of the sea- son was due in part to team leadership. The Team Leadership award went to Jeff Fahs. The Defensive Leadership award was pre- sented to Hoss Kennedy, while the Offensive Leader- ship award was given to Paul French. Chris Cornell captured the Mental Atti- tude award. The large de- voted group of senior players also contributed to the success of the team by doing extra bear crawls and by avoiding ISS. John Burton follows blocker Paul French around the de- fense. Football 95 Led By Three Outstanding Seniors, The Boy's Golf Team Was SHOOTNG THEIR BEST The boys' golf team enjoyed a great sea- son winning their last eight matches. The team also won the conference and coun- ty golf titles along the way. The team was led this year by three seniors Pat Brander- burg, Tim Spang, and Steve Straiger. This was Pat's fourth sea- son playing 1. In June and July Pat will com- pete in the Indiana State Open and in the Indiana State Ama- teur. Last summer, Pat won second in his flight at the State Junior Championships in Bloo- mington. The Squires were also helped by juniors Andy Wible, Blaine Leifer, Chuck Goo- drich, and Matt Wor- king. It was an unforget- table season with the trips back and forth to the matches with the great braking. Next year will be a rebuilding year for the Squire golfers. The golf team hopes to see many more golfers. The golf team hopes to see many more golfers out next year while rebuilding. Steve Straiger lines up for his next putt.

The season ended with a team's final record of 3-8. The team was com- prised of seniors Jolene Kastner, Tonya En- yeart and Cathy Warner and juniors Kelly McKee and Jenny Frieden. During the season the girl's scores were fairly close. Four of the girls com- peted in the Hunting- ton Sectional. The team turned in a score of 495 for a fifth posi- tion out of seven. Jen- ny Frieden advanced to the Regional. Jenny Frieden was awarded with the Medalist; Ton- ya Enyeart, Low Puts; and Patty Johnson, Mental Attitude.

Girls' Golf 99 Serving It Up With NO LOVE Dirk, laughter, and success are the three words that best sum up the 1986-87 ten- nis season. The fun started from day one as Dirk Burghartz. a for- eign exchange student from Germany, reported to prac- tice along with 10 other players in the middle of August. Although many fear- ed that Dirk was a relative of Boris Becker, he soon showed that he wasn't quite ready for Wimbledon, although Dirk did play a major role in the team's overall success. After many weeks of com- petition, Coach Keith Metzg- er set the 1 singles Kasy Fierstos, 2 singles Dirk Bur- ghartz, 3 singles Steve Straiger, 1 doubles Doug Meyer and Todd Hodson, and 2 doubles Chad Han- kee and Andy Wible. The junior varsity was led by Eric Christianson, who managed to squeeze in enough varsity action to earn his varsity letter, fol- lowed by Brian Kreps, John Bazzoni and Stephen Hunt. The Sectional for the Squires was marked by de- lays, rain, and the worst draw possible (the state-ranked Warsaw Tigers). The Section- al at Peru was moved in- doors to the Warsaw Raquet Club. The Squires were swept 0-5, and ended the season with an 8-5 record. Each player had his highs and lows during the season. For Kasy, his low came during his first match when in a fit of anger and frustration, he hit a tennis ball toward the net, only to watch it sail over the net and hit his opponent right in the face. Although his op- ponent wasn't amused, Kasy managed to laugh at Dirk's imi- tation of the guy's reaction. Kasy's high point was in the sectional as he played his best match of the year. Although he was defeated, Kasy's play earned him the praise of the Warsaw coach. Kasy was vot- ed the Most Improved Player by the team. Steve Straiger had a phe- nomenal year, going unde- feated until he was defeated against Columbia City late in the season. Steve's only other losses came in the sectional against Warsaw. He was voted the Most Valuable Player by the team and also received the Rotary Mental Attitude Award for tennis. No. 1 singles Kc.sy Fierstos serves another ace.

Her regular season loss came during her soph- omore year, making her career record at 1 singles 44-4. Amy was selected most Valuable Player and also honorary captain for the team. The team as a whole did not do as well, fin- ishing the season 5-10. Having lost 6 seniors in 1986 and losing two players to accidents in pre-season, it was a rebuilding year. Senior Kelly Tackitt, at 2 singles was the only other regular varsity player with a winning record. Freshman Eris Mi- gliorini moving up to 3 varsity singles for only 3 games (2-1) was named Most Improved Player. All varsity and JV players had excellent individual matches. The team's best mo- ment may have come when they avenged a tourney loss to Whitko to hear them 4-1. Manager Dirk Bur- ghartz helped the girls with basics, drills and singles play. Coach Jane Bales was pleased with the skills being developed by underclassmen and is hoping for a more ex- perienced team next year. 103 Amy Fahrnow readies for a serve.

Although The Boys' Swim Team Didn't Win A Meet They Were DRIPPING WITH ENTHUSIASM If you look at the Boys' Swim Team win-loss record, you would immediately conclude they had a bad year. Actually, even though they didn't win a single duel meet and didn't place at any relay meets, the guys all had and ex- tremely successful year. Although winning meets wasn't high on their accomplishments list, swimming races and breaking rec- ords were. The guys knew, from the first week of practice, when the list of twenty hopefuls turned out to be only ten guys willing to stick out the pain of practice, that their chances of being winners as a team were pretty slim. But it was at this point where they chose to cast aside that disappointment and concentrate on becoming winners individually. With the promise from Coach Jungbauer that by the end of the season they'd be swimming the equiva- lent of running 18 miles every morning before school, the guys set out to be the best individually that they could be. Fortunately, the guys third coach in three years proved to be a great teacher of individual success, being an ac- complished sprinter and world class pole vaulter in high school and college. Coach Jungbauer taught the guys two things that are crucial to personal success — one to do for themselves and the other to do for the team. First, no matter how good you are you can always be better and when you come to the point where you want to give up and say that's as good as I can do. a real winner will only push himself harder. Secondly, there's nothing more important to individual suc- cess than support from the other members of the team. If you at- tended any of the guy's swim meets you would have noticed every member of the team on their feet yelling and screaming during every race and after every dive no matter how good the swimmer or diver was doing. This was also evident when Manches- ter was the only school to have their entire team present during Sectional diving at 8 a.m. on a Sat- urday morning when swimming didn't start until 2:30 that afternoon. Kevin Reed made it all the way to the state meet in diving, something no MHS diver has ever done before and ended up in 15th place of 52 di- vers. He also broke the school record several times during the season. The energy and want to succeed paid off at meets when ten swimmers broke 24 personal records during their first meet. And the record breaking continued through out the year. Matt Meyer and Jeff Felgar moved high into the MHS top ten list in freestyle events. Todd Hodson in breaststroke and Matt Doudt in but- terfly. The Medley Relay, made up of Matt Meyer, Todd Hodson, Matt Doudt and Jeff Felgar gave a strong Sectional effort and came out third, coming within a second of the school record. Overall the guys had a great year. Even though they didn't win any meets, as a team, they learned that striving for personal success beats winning a meet any time.

Their record of four wins, nine losses and a third place finish in the Northwood Invi- tational reflected the growing strength and depth of the Lady Squires' team. Coach Robin Bar- nett, who replaced Jody Davenport mid- way through the sea- son, was pleased with the girls' efforts. Their Sectional perfor- mances showed their true ability with eight swimmers advancing to finals. Freshman Lisa Meyer went on to rep- resent MHS in the 100 yard freestyle at the State competition held at the IUPUI Nata- torium. Several school records were broken throughout the sea- son, including the 1978 400 freestyle relay record. Co-captains for the season were freshman Lisa Meyer, junior Kacy Trick, and senior Kelly Tackitt. The Most Valu- able Swimmer award was presented to a surprised Lisa Meyer. Kacy Trick was given the Mental Attitude award and Heide Doudt was voted Most Improved Swimmer. Congratulations to the Lady Squires' swim team on a fine season. Girls' Swimming 107 the perfect dive.

The team was coached by Terry Zebulske who stressed individual performance and goals. The team was led by senior Jett Brubaker at 12-6 and junior Gene Dyson at 17-5. The Squires will lose Jeff Brubaker and foreign exchange student Ricardo Rocha who showed the team new throwing techniques from Brazil. Gene Dyson had outstand- ing performances at the county tourney and Manchester Invitational by taking the individual titles in the 126 lb. weight class.

Gymnastics 109 Individual Members Excelled But as a Team the Squires Fell ONE STEP SHORT Many players on the Squire basketball team gained valuable experience under the coaching of Randy Snodgrass and assis- tant coaches Steve Rice and Dave Berg. Senior scoring power came from Sam How- ard and Jeff Fisher and they led the team to their third consecutive season with a 16-4 re- cord, while seniors Darren Goff and Scott Gidley demonstrated leadership qualities throughout the sea- son. Junior Jeff Eckert and sophomores Andy Spriggs and Chris Sing- piel reinforced team efforts with sufficient rebounds and scoring. Though the team's efforts didn't take them to Regionals, several team mem- bers excelled during the final game of Sec- tional. Juniors Chris Cornell and Aaron Hippensteel as well as freshman Andy Holder- man saw Sectional ac- tion. Sam Howard was named to the Indiana High School All-Star bas- ketball team and held the career rebounding record. Darren Goff and Sam Howard were cho- sen as Most Valuable players by their coaches and team while Jeff Fish- er was voted Most Im- proved. The team post- ed a 5-2 conference re- cord and consistent playing led the Squires to the final game of Sec- tional where they suf- fered a hard defeat by archrival Whitko.

The 1986-87 basketball season for the Lady Squires under Coach Karen Reed started off on a good note this year with a 5-0 edge of the season. They began to fall in the later part of the season experiencing com- petition with some of the larger schools. One major difficulty the ladies had to face this year was having a shortage of height. The tall- est girl on the varsity squad was only 5'10 . The team's average height was 5'8 , which isn't an average height for a basketball team. Considering this major prob- lem, the Lady Squires were 4- 3 in the conference. They lost to rival Northfield in the County Tourney and in the Sectional. The seniors who led the team were Bridget Greene, Traci Abbott, Jenny Warner, and Amy Fahrnow. Juniors Kathy Young, Chelley Lehman, Jenny Frieden, and Delpha Ulrey will see plenty of action next year as sen- iors. The ladies ended their season 8-1. Senior standout Amy Fahrnow, who was named All-Conference, All-Area, All- County and invited to tryout for All-State, broke the ca- reer scoring record of 1008 points early in the season she ended the season with 1151! The junior varsity under Coach Jill Corey was more successful as they dominat- ed the county tourney by defeating Wabash in the fi- nal game. Freshman Kelli Un- derwood, Eris Migliorini, Car- men Beery and Jodi Beck did a super job for their first year in high school action. Robin England, a sophomore, con- tributed to a great deal off the bench with her reboun- ding ability. The JV squad ended their season 9-9. Amy Fahrnow was named Most Valuable Player and re- ceived Free Throw Percent- age trophy for the Varsity. Kathy Young had Most Re- bounds. In JV action, Lisa Meyer was named Most Im- proved Player and Kelli Un- derwood won Free Throw Percentage. Chelley Lehman bends over backward for the rebound.

The junior varsity ended 11-9 under coach Steve Rice. Awards were given to Andy Holderman for total points, Glen Cox for field goal percentage and Joe Deal for high- est free throw percentage.

Coached by Val Wein- stein, the varsity ended their season with an 4-18 record. Lack of senior experi- ence was well accounted for by the two senior captains, Lori Lehman and Amanda Lance. The serving was dominated by Delpha Ulrey at ninety-eight per- cent. Steph Carter led the setting with a consistant ninety-four percent and Lori Lehman handled the attacking with a whomping eighty percent. Delpha and Steph also were named Honorable Mention All-Conference. The Wabash Plain Dealer named Lori Lehman and Steph Carter as All-Area first team. The Junior Varsity team instructed by Theresa Schnarre managed a record of 9-6. The Mental Attitude award went to Denise LeWallen.

It was Jeff Eckert's third appearance at the Re- gional, the only Squire who had been there be- fore, but he failed to qualify for the State. Fisher and Underwood each placed fitth in their respective events, Fish- er in the pole vault and Underwood in the 3200, with a time of 9:32. the 4X400, consisting of Cornell, Burton, Lambert and Stanley had a strong showing along with Lambert in the mile and Stanley in the 300 meter low hurdles. For the fourth consec- utive year the team won the county and Three Rivers Confer- ence championships. The Squires easily won the County meet over second place Wabash by 50 points, led by Eck- ert's school record of 6'4 in the High Jump. The conference meet came down to the final relay with Manchester leading by 4 points over Oak Hill. At the begin- ning the final leg Brent Stanley was 25 meters out of second place with Oak Hill leading and out of reach he ran a PR of 51.7 and edged out Northfield and Whitko for second place and the TRC championship by 7 points. Coach Dick Miller named Jeff Eckert Most Valuable Player, Pat Smith Most Im- proved, Eric Under- wood Honorary Cap- tain, and Brent Stanley was awarded Mental Attitude.

Boys’ Track 117 Although Few In Numbers, Talented Girls KEEP THE SPIRIT Under a new coach, Val Weinsten, the 1986- 87 girls' track team were discouraged due to number. Thirteen girls competed this season in seven dual meets. County, TRC, Sectional, and Regional. The team placed second at County behind the large team of Northfield. The girls swept 4 events at County with Janice Hoo- ver winning the one mile, Tammie Wion, the lone senior, the 800, Bridgett Davis the 100 meter dash, and the 4X100 consisting of Joelle Renz, Wion, Steff Carter, and Davis. Manchester was represented at Section- al by Bridgett Davis in the 100, Janice Hoover and Penny Kelsey in the 2 mile, Lisa Meyer in the 800, Steff Carter in the 300 meter low hurdles, and the 4X100 of Renz, Wion, Carter, and Davis. Davis and Hoover ad- vanced to Regionals at Northrop. At Regionals, Hoover and Davis made a strong showing, with Davis receiving a PR of 12:9 in the 100, but did not advance to the State Competition. Although the team did not show its excep- ALIVE tional abilities by the re- cord of 2-7, the girls kept their spirits high and are ready for another track season. Returning next year will be Hoover, Car- ter, Davis, Kelsey, Meyer, Moyer, Renz, Lewallen, Underwood, Damron, Trick, and McKinnley. Named Most Valu- able Players were Jan- ice Hoover and Steff Carter. Most Improved was Lisa Meyer, Best at- titude went to Bridgett Davis, and Tammie Wion was voted Honorary Captain.

They were beating Wabash, who the year before won the state championship, 5-0 af- ter 3% innings but fell apart after various errors. This was a rebuilding year in a lot of ways, having only one senior, Andy Roth, and having three freshmen, Tony Carroll, Andrew Cor- nell, and Doug Fahrnow playing at short stop, right field, and second base re- spectively. The pitch- ing was also young with Ricci Moore, Jeff Nordman and Mike Scott, each sopho- mores, pitching their first varsity seasons. After posting a rec- ord of 10-11 this year, with the experience they're getting, look for a good baseball team in the future.

Below: Hi. May I help you? At Just about any fast food restaurant in town, that was the first thing you would hear. In this case. Matt Doudt would be welcoming you to Hardee's. For many students, restaurants meant fast - if not greasy - money. ft • FUN? Maybe all that hard-earned money went for entertainment. Or did it? Below: Today we'll have sunny skies and a high of 85 degrees “ On several radio stations. Brian Walsh's voice could be heard giving weather for- casts. news and announcing song titles. AH the stu- dents knew who to hit up for a loan thanks to his healthy money supply from his broadcasting expe- rience. SA VE? You? Once you made sure you were having a good time, did you put the next biggest chunk of money in the bank? Did you save for the usuals? A trip during Spring Break, some new clothes, a car, or maybe - just maybe - a college education? Below: Dad. it’s only 20 doHars. rupay you back. Some students enjoyed lazy days without jobs and survived by mooching from mom and dad. like Blaine Leifer. FOOD? Food bought to eat away from home - maybe that's where it all went - a Mr. Misty at Dairy Queen, breaksticks at Piz- za Hut. or fries at Hardee's. 146 Jobs Below: Gonna be a good harvest this year, dad. Many of the students worked on their own farms or helped out on others. People like Todd Dierks, though, found farming a good way to earn some hard cash. PARTYING? Did you? Some of those hard- earned bucks surely were spent for week- end parties by some of you. Below:' 'Hi. I'm here to collect for the weekly paper. Doug McKee delivered papers through rain, sleet and hail. Doug got exer- cise plus earned some cash. too. DA TES? Dinner. movie and flowers. Maybe some of that hard cash was dished out on your girlfriend or boyfriend. Below: Many students were employed by retirement homes, like Cindy Emerick. who worked in food service. GAS? Cruising around the town ten or twenty times a night takes gas. and maybe more of your money was spent on gas than you realize. Where do all those hard-earned bucks all seem to disappear? 148 World Events The shape and form of our destiny comes in part from the events and happen- ings of the world around us. War, violence, and world hunger are always with us and affect us all. We remember the world events of this year as well as the personal happenings closer to home. Terrorism continued throughout the world this year. In September, five bombs went off in Paris within a ten-day period, killing ten people and injuring over 160 others. A little later, assassins in Paris killed Georges Besse, chairman of the Renault automobile company. A terrorist attack on a synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey killed 21 Jewish worshippers. Turmoil and racial unrest plagued South Africa. Prime Minister P.W. Botha came under increasing pressure from Western nations for sweeping reforms of his system of Apartheid. In October, Congress overrode a veto by President Reagan and im- posed tough economic sanctions on South Africa. The battle between the Nicaraguan government and the contras persisted, with the United States being involved in the crisis several times. In October, Nicaragua shot down a plane supposedly carrying arms to the contras from the CIA. Then in November, a Nicaraguan court sentenced United States citizen Eugene Hasenfus to 30 years in prison for supplying arms to the contras. The biggest scandal of all broke in late November, when it was discovered that the United States had sold arms to Iran and then given the profits to help supply the contras. The ensuing accu- sations and allegations resulted in the resignations of such key figures as National Security Advisor John Poindexter, his assistant, Oliver North, White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan, and a second National Security Advisor, Robert McFarlane. At this point, congressional hearings are still trying to determine who knew what when, especially in regards to President Reagan. Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's popularity grew throughout the world. Gor- bachev initiated a policy of glasnost, or openness, with the rest of the world. He released Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov from exile, made it easier for Jewish peo- ple to leave the Soviet Union, and talked of arms-control flexibility. In the fall, a sum- mit conference in Reykjavik, Iceland between Reagan and Gorbachev was unsuccess- ful, mainly because Reagan refused to restrict the Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars, to the laboratory for the next ten years. In April, the Soviet U.S. rela- tions became strained again when electronic bugging devices were found through- out the U.S. embassy in Moscow. The United States economy experienced some big changes throughout the year. The Dow Jones fell 86.61 points to 1792.89, the biggest one-day loss ever, and then proceeded to rise to a new high of well over 2000 points. Also on Wall Street, Ivan Boesky was fined $50 million and forced to give up the $50 million which he made on the stock market using insider trading information. The dollar fell against other currencies throughout the year, and interest rates rose. The United States, which had been the biggest creditor nation as recently as 1980, was now the biggest debtor nation. It was a year of scandals in the United States. First, PTL Club Leader Jim Bakker shocked us all when we found out that he had had an affair with a church secretary named Jessica Hahn, as well as being allegedly involved in several homosexual af- fairs. After Jerry Falwell took over the ministry for Bakker and his wife Tammy Faye, it was discovered that the Bakkers had been embezzling millions of dollars. Then, when we had barely recovered from that outrage, Gary Hart was forced to drop out of the race for the Democratic Presidential candidacy after The Miami Herald reported that he had had an affair with actress Donna Rice. We watched this year as William and Elizabeth Stern fought for the custody of Baby M with her surrogate mother, Mary Beth Whitehead. Custody was finally granted to the Sterns on March 31. The fear of the dreaded disease AIDS brought about a trend for safe sex. In 1986, eight to eleven people died from AIDS in Allen County alone. Interest groups fought to have condom commercials shown on prime time television, but most sta- tions only agreed to show them late at night, if at all. The year also saw an increased awareness of the drug problem in the United States. President Reagan ordered drug testing for all federal employees in sensitive jobs, as well as joining his wife Nancy in a national crusade against crack, the solid form of cocaine. In October, Reagan signed a law instigating the most sweeping tax reforms since the 1940’s. This year, three Dutch balloonists set the world s record for the fastest balloon crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 51 hours and 14 minutes. In December, the experimen- tal aircraft ’’Voyager became the first aircraft to fly nonstop around the world. In sports, the New York Mets beat the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series. The New York Giants won the superbowl by beating the Denver Broncos. Martina Navratilova and Ivan Lendl won the U.S. Open tennis tournament. In the America’s Cup Challenge, we f inally broke Australia's 132-year winning streak as a 25 ton Ameri- can racing machine claimed the proud honors. Sugar Ray Leonard stepped back into the ring and defeated Marvin Hagler to become the World Boxing Council middle weight champion. And in a game of special interest to many MHS students, Indiana University beat Syracuse 74-73 with the help of Keith Smart’s last second jump shot to gain the NCAA title. In the fashion world, a boxer rebellion occurred as women began wearing men’s boxer shorts. Reebok shoes, Generra sweatshirts, and Guess? jeans, sweatshirts, and jeans jackets were all the rage. Girls were wearing as many as three pairs of different colored socks with black or white high-top leather shoes. Movies such as Stand By Me Children of a Lesser God, Top Gun. Crocodile Dundee, and Hoosiers were in the spotlight. Hoosiers was a favorite in all of our hearts not only because it was about Indiana Basketball, but because the MHS Fight Song, written by North Manchester resident Harold Leckrone. was used as a school song in the movie. Steve Hollar, a former basketball player at Warsaw High School, had a starring role in the movie. Gene Hackman received an Oscar for best supporting actor for his role in Hoosiers . Platoon was named best picture. Marlee Matlin and Paul Newman won best actress and best actor awards for their roles in Children of a Lesser God and The Color of Money, respectively. Many mourned the deaths of actors Cary Grant, James Coco, and Rita Hay- worth, and Pianist Liberace. In the midst of the Iran scandal, director of the CIA William Casey died, perhaps taking secrets with him. Sports fans will always remem- ber Ohio State’s football coach, Woody Hayes. Many of our hearts were saddened by news of the death of Hugh Brannum, the actor who played Mr. Green Jeans on the show Captain Kangaroo. In music, groups such as Bon Jovi and Cinderella made popular the songs You Give Love A Bad Name and I’m Not Your Fool.” Bon Jovi's album Slippery When Wet was 1 on the album chart for 19 weeks straight. Janet Jackson had hit after hit from her Control album. U2’s album The Joshua Tree and their single With or Without You” soared towards the 1 spot on the charts. On television, The Cosby Show. Family Ties, and Moonlighting” continued to be favorites of MHS students. Two new shows, L.A. Law and Max Headroom, were also television fads of the year. The character Max Headroom, a personality within a computer, was already popular through his show on cable television and his C-c-catch the wave commercials for Coca-cola. Closer to home, Indiana Governor Robert Orr’s so-called A-F program passed the state legislature with a few modifications, there by adding five days to the Indi- ana school year. Plans were being made to build a new elementary school in North Manchester to replace the three elementary schools in town and also to build a new elementary school to replace Laketon school. The North Manchester Parks and Rec- reation Department talked of launching a fundraising campaign to raise money for a sports complex area north of the high school. Yards of Fun built a new factory east of town at the site of a projected new industrial park. And George Scheerer resigned his position as secretary of the Chamber Commerce and coordinator of the annual North Manchester Funfest. It was a year of joy and heartbreak. A mere grain of sand in an hourglass-, a small part of our past, and a large remembrance for our future. —Suellen Shively World Events 149 Se Uoi4 Sam Howard and Cheryl McKee share a to- boggan ride on an FBLA trip.

Traveling close to Hannibal, MO in a gold mini-van, tossing ideas into the air, it hit us. Late night with David Let- terman. no. Late night With The Squires! Two years ago we thought we were bril- liant with a theme about movies, but a Late night theme was almost more than we could handle—superbrilliant! Spending three days in Marceline, MO, we became the first MHS yearbook ed- itors to tour the yearbook processing plant. We viewed the step by step proce- dure used in putting together a yearbook. Later, starting the school year with great expectations, we soon fell into the same routine of procrastination followed by Late nights of endless work. We tried to style our pages as Davey would his show. We struggled. We slaved. We ignored ... But then it happened. It was finished! The last page of Late night was carefully taped up in the white envelope and mailed to the factory. now, we may honestly look back on our years as yearbook editors and rationalize that things progressively got worse, but we did enjoy those few unusual moments this year such as our Missouri trip where we met the Outfield, shopped at a Payless in Springfield, 111, and almost wrecked Jane's car because of a spider in the back seat. We also remember the thrill of meeting our first deadline though the odds were against us. We'd like to especially thank Bob Henning who taught us what we should have learned a year earlier about making an up to date yearbook and for trying to make us productive editors; to Jane who helped keep us in line and caused our insanity; to Jeff and Brendan who took unusual pic- tures for us with great ease; and Jodi, Suellen, and the whole journalism class who wrote copy on the spur of the moment. We love you all! Finally, to next year's crest editors we leave no Muse, inspiration, or ideas, no Dapper Dan, and no wax pencils. We do however, leave this yearbook to the students of MHS, to enjoy reading it as we've enjoyed mak- ing it. Stefe atUe SUtte 154 Us mWALS WORTH PUBLISHING COMPANY •tABCKUNE MlMOl'fci USA
