The team got off to a slow start with no score on the board un- til the sixth game. On a swamp-like field junior quarterback Darren Carter handed the ball to senior Tim Miles who ran two yards for a touchdown. This touchdown came in the fourth quarter of the October 16 Home- coming game against the Bulldogs of Berke- ley. The Devils lost the game, however, by a score of 30-6. The Blue Devils' sea- son was hindered by the fact that it did not have an experienced quarterback. Darren Carter stepped into the Octo- ber 3 game against Orchard Farms when starting quarterback junior Chuck Nennert was injured. Carter, who be- came All-Conference honorable mention quarterback, started at that position against the Jennings Warriors on October 10. The Devils came close to scoring as time ran out with the ball on the two yard line, but they lost by a score of 14-0. On October 23, M- RH went on the road to Rolla. The Bulldogs rolled over M-RH by a score of 41-6 in the freezing cold. The Devils next met their rival Brentwood on October 30. It was a hard fought battle with M-RH coming up on the short end with a score of 17-6. SLASH v-1• • -.1 ✓4 M-RH met the Clay- ton Greyhounds in its last game of the sea- son on November 7. The Blue Devils suffered a disheartening loss to the Greyhounds in overtime 25-22. Darren Carter said, I think the team needed to work on being more disciplined. We were a young team, but everybody received a lot of play- ing experience. Watch out for us next year! exclaimed Chuck Nen- nert. This year we won't los a single interior line man from our offensive or defensive lines, stated head coach Jack Taylor. We can come up with an ex- perienced back field next year of juniors An- drew Elgin, Andy Hunt- spon, and Darnell Ho- gue. A bright spot on this year's 0-9 season was the fact that many of the young players re- ceived playing time with the newly reinstat- ed J.V. squad. The young Blue Dev- ils suffered an 0-4 sea- son losing to confer- ence foes Eureka t4-8, Jennings 30-8, Berkeley 20- 6, and Brentwood 21- 0. Freshman Paul Wil- liams said, I look for- ward to next season because we'll be a fairly experienced team. 1. Junior Darren Carter in- courages young offensive line. 2.

The team won their District game over Priory in an incredible seven overtimes, 3-2. Then the Devils lost to St. Thomas Acquinas 6-0. Their success this year has been due to the teams spirit and determination to win. Senior All-Conference Jim Ermold said, “I think we did well as a team and with a little more practice the team should be even better next year. 57 HUBBARD TAKES OVER SOCCER Andy Hubbard has become the new coach for this soccer season. This is his first year of coaching soccer, but he enjoyed the year. I thought it was very exciting and very worthwhile, he said. The team also liked having Mr. Hubbard as a coach. I think Mr. Hubbard is a fine coach and did a great job running the team. stated senior all conference forward John Paul Thomas. 58 ► .

This years team did just that. They were seated third in the tourney. They defeated Villa Duchene 15-3, 15- 3. Then they went on to the semi-finals playing Saint Elizabeth's Academy. It was a little rougher, but the Devils pulled out a win 6- 15, 18-16, 15-6. In the finals the devils just couldn't get it together. They lost to Principia 15-13, 15-3, and took the second place District plaque. When the Devils lost in the first round of the Suburban East Tour- ney to the South County Rebels, people thought the season was about over. However, the girls didn't and came back with the second place District plaque. The volleyballers had an up and down season but came out with a good record, 11-6 overall. This year's All-Conference team included senior Sabrina Hite, first team. Sabrina was pleased. She stated, I had a successful four years of volleyball. Second team All-Conference was Tery Adams. Tery stated, I wish the season was longer. I enjoyed playing with this team! We were all seniors. Sue Brockschmitt, third team All-Conference said, All of us real- ize that we are out there to play and win as a team, not so much as each person for herself. For 22 years, Carol Heeter has coached volleyball. She was pleased with this year's performance. She stated, I feel the suc- cess of the team came from them playing well together, getting along well and caring for each other.

This is the first junior varsity team in three years. It had been cut from the athletic program. It was re- vived this year due to the tax levy passing.

The marching band has performed at all football games except the October 16, Homecoming game. Bad weather forced the band to cancel this performance. Many band members have positive opin- ions about their experiences. Senior Candy Horvat says, “The band definitely has potential to progress if they would try harder . Junior Anna Holmes says, “I enjoy this year's band because we play more popular music. Senior Clement Cobbs, also Candy Hor- vat, were voted most musical of the 1982 seniors. Clement Cobbs says, “Music to me is a way of relaxing or having a good time. When I'm listening to it or when I'm playing the drums, the same thing goes, but it is also a form of personal expressions. Row 1 S. Matchett, C. Horvat. Row 2 L. Wright, C. Pirtle, A. Holmes, S.

Unstable membership created problems for the club; however, they planned a spring program to be called “Where the Sidwalk Ends which is a series of poems to be acted out in the Maplewood Community Center. Sponsor Susan Willaims states, The pur- pose of the club is to give students not in drama classes a chance to participate in drama activities.

They're called the stage crew and their sponsor is coral musical teacher Barbara Miller. Miss Miller appreciates this year's crew. The crew this year is a good group of kids. They are hard workers, and they are the largest group in years. I enjoy working with them, she said. These people work the curtains, set up props, work with the lights and micro- phones. Senior crew member Shawn Engle en- joys being a member. “I like being in the stage crew because it shows a sense of school spirit, and it gives us an opportu- nity to help the school and our fellow students in more ways than one, he said.

The staff members have to work together and coop- erate in order to make deadlines. It's been stupendous! It's the only class I've ever had that we have freedom and can make our own decisions. It's neat because we depend on each other, and every- body comes through, says two-year staffer junior Kathy Simmons.

There were two shows the staff saw “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and the “The Super Show. Both contained many ideas for yearbooks. “It was fun! The best part of the workshop was the Super Show, says junior staff mem- ber Carrie Wright. The staff does not only have fun. The members also learn several things too. “Most of the students are page editors; however, the students get first-hand infor- mation in gathering and writ- ing stories. Some students get experience in developing and printing pictures and get- ting advertisements, says yearbook advisor Mr. Roy. “This is my first year on the staff, and I have learned a lot and had lots of fun, says ju- nior Robbin O'Dowd. 87 SPANISH CLUB TAKES BREAK (L to R) Lisa Rook, Kristen Thompson, Cristy Sweeney, Linda Members not pictured; Shawna Garnica, Karen Warner, Lanning, Sherri Wood, Julie Karaganis, Cheryl Brown, Angie Cara Stennett, Connie Kelly, Donnie Douglas, Gail Thomure, Funck.

She had been absent from November to Feb- ruary. Fortunately there is a substitute, Miriam Kettler, Mother of German teacher, Rebecca Kettler. Before Mrs. Spicuzza's operation, she hoped for the Spanish Club to take another trip to Mexico. In previous years the Spanish Club has frequently made the trip. Club members hope that things improve next year. Junior Cara Stennett said, I like the Spanish Club, but wish there was more going on. Well We've planned a surprised party for Mrs. Spicuzza. I hope things will be better next year. Senior Kevin Sanders said, We need to be better organized, and we also need more activities, but I know this is due to the illness of Mrs. Spicuzza. When she returns, things will be better. Sophomore Karen Warner said, I think the Span- ish Club could be improved. We went to a luncheon which was nice. We also challenged the German Club to a volleyball game, but they didn't accept. Next year we are going to make things better. 89 GERMAN CLUB IS ACTIVE Above- Juniors and Seniors First Row (L to R.)

The German Club initi- ates its new members ev- ery year at its first party. This year the initiates were guys dressed as pregnant women and the girls, like little old men. Senior Lisa Norris likes being in German Club. Through the years you can develop a very close relationship with all the members old and new, she said. German Club usually tries to have a different activitiy each month. This year German Club has had a picnic at Greens- felder Park and plans a hayride in November and a Christmas party. This year the German Club got together with Pattonville's German Club for their picnic and has also invited them to their Christmas party. Most members agree this was a good idea. Senior Jane Sendel- bach feels. “It gives us a new mixture of people to make friends with, and the Pattonville people seem to fit in really well with our people. 91 Row one (L to R) Cindy Ellis, Stephanie Peters, Linda Schmidt, Tammy Miller.

CHEERLEADERS PARTICIPATE IN MANY ACTIVITIES The cheerleaders have participated in a number of activities in addition to cheering for varsify football, soccer, vol- leyball, basketball, and wrestling. At the beginning of each sport season the cheerleaders paid special tribute to the varsity starting athletes. First they made six foot signs with spirit sayings on them and posted them on the locker doors of each of these players. Along with the signs, the players received a bag full of cookies, cakes, and candy. They sold ribbons, shakers, T-shirts, and pep bus tickets in the cafeteria during lunch. They painted signs to put up on the walls at the beginning of the year to wel- come back the teachers and welcome the new freshmen class. The girls planned spirit week. They painted large signs which the football and basketball players ran through be- fore each home game. Also the cheerleaders walked in the Mapledays parade to represent M-RH, and they hosted the open house, which was held in the fall. These activities often were time con- suming, but inspite of these activities, the cheerleaders must and have maintained at least a C average. 1.

It began on October 12 with spirit week. The outfits worn were determined by the cheerleaders. Each class competed to see which one could get the most students dressed each day of the week. This year the seniors were pres- sured by the freshmen throughout the week. “The freshmen really got homecoming moving this year. They really pushed us, stated senior Sheila Ryan. At the final tally of Spirit Week, the seniors were on top, with the freshmen second and the sopho- mores and juniors, third and fourth. Dr. Lanigan summed up the mood of Spirit Week. “It's great! It makes the students feel like a part of the school, he said. Homecoming continued with the bonfire on Thursday night. Events on Friday started with a pep assembly in which the classes competed and cheered wildly, singing their class songs. Next on the agenda that evening was the parade of the floats which was somewhat hindered by the rain. Finally came the football game against the Berkeley Bull- dogs. The points accumulated from Spirit Week, hall decorations, class songs, and floats, all went toward the award of the Spirit Cup which was given to Senior class. It was close all the way up to the end, but the class of '82 proved they had the most spirit. There was a lot of hard work put into each event, but there was also a lot of fun in the pro- cess. 101 AND A NIGHT MAIDS 1- Senior Maid Dana Morrow and es- cort John Thomas. 2- Senior Maid Cindy Ellis and escort Mark Spree. 3- Junior Maid Anna Holmes and es- cort Jim Phiropoulos. 4- Junior Maid Tammy Pace and es- cort Steve Norful. 5- Sophomore Maid Leslie Werner and escort Tony McEntire. 6- Sophomore Maid Karen Warner and escort Henry Keys. 7- Freshman Maid Kathy Roberts and escort Keith McAllister. 8- Freshman Maid Valerie Watson and escort Medgar Evans. TO REMEMBER Senior Debbie Crenshaw was crowned queen by senior class president Randy Coughlin. I'm very proud to represent M-RH al- though 1 wasn't expecting it. Just being a maid was an honor to me, stated Deb- bie. This year the homecoming court in- cluded freshmen Kathy Roberts and Val- erie Watson, sophomores Leslie Werner and Karen Warner, juniors Anna Holmes and Tammy Pace and seniors Debbie Crenshaw, Cindy Ellis, and Dana Morrow. A tradition for over 50 years was broken when male seniors Jay Jegel and Tim O'Brien attended the 1981 Homecoming Dance together. Tim was wearing a purple mid-length dress and Jay wore a blue suit. This made a handsome couple. Tim stated, It will be something to laugh about at our 25th class reunion. ”We went to the dance just to have a little fun. Tim and 1 figured you're only a senior once, and we wanted to do something a little crazy. We didn't think anyone would be expecting it. We also got in free. Someone also paid to have our pictures taken, stat- ed Jay. “DEATH AS A LAUGH” PRESENTED On November 20 and 21 in the High School Auditorium, the Drama Department put on five one-act plays entitled Death as a Laugh. They included A Very Short Love Story, The Lovliest Afternoon of the Year, “John Brown's Body, Soul Gone Home, and The Sand Box. Each play had to do with death. The actors were seniors Kevin Sanders and Mike Robertson, juniors Dwight Spears and Bri- an Giffin, sophomores Terri Parker, Tammy Lewis, Susie Harper, Mike Robbins, and Tammy Miller, and freshmen Mary Van Doren and Annette Ryan. Annette Ryan said, I enjoyed myself while working with the other actors. However, Ke- vin Sanders felt he wasted his time and hard work because only a total of 45 people showed up both nights. 1.

At one time, in order to get from one end of the second floor to the other, one had to either go outside, through the parking lot and back in or go up to the fourth floor and back down again. On November 2 the construction of fire walls and doorways began. The walls are made of fireblock, steel screen, mortar and plaster. According to superintendant Dr. Lannigan, the new walls are a required by the fire codes in effect in Maplewood and through- out the St. Louis area. The reason these walls weren't built before is the fire codes of 50 years ago, when the building was built, al- lowed the open staircases. As a Chicago school fire demonstrated, the old grand staircases provided a natural draft for smoke and fire to rush from one floor to another-similar to the flue in a fireplace. People could be trapped on upper floors. The building could remain unchanged, if no renovations were made. However, as soon as any renovations are even considered, the building must be brought up to the fire codes. Construction is also being done on West Richmond, Chaney, Bruce, and Valley Ele- mentary Schools. The cost of construction for these buildings is $121,200.00. Granted, the old school will not look the same. We've traded 50 years of beauty, tra- dition, and openess for 50 years of future safety, said Dr. Lannigan. 107 WHAT WILL YOU Karen Campbell- Buying my first car, a 72 stationwagon.

M-RH: SNOW- BOUND Far right: Junior Jill Zeller frolics in snow. On January 30, M-RH was hit by a blizzard that left up to 20 inches of snow on the ground, leaving students and teachers snowbound in their homes. Because of the snow and the fact that the district had no built-in snow days, students had to make up the seven days that they missed. The days that the district was closed were February 1-5 and 8 and 9. Inspite of the efforts of the people of St. Louis, the government disreguarded the idea of the St. Louis area being declared a national disaster area. To make things worse on February 7, more snow fell on the area, which is the reason for the schools being closed on the 8th and 9th. no FACULTY At right Dr. Fred Lanigan, Superinten- dent Far right Jerry Elliott, Asst. To the Superintendent The Senior Year for the Class of 1982 may best be described as the year in which the Class benefitted from the changes they had worked so hard to bring about. As Sophomores, the Class of 1982 could select from only 67 Vi approved credits in the curriculum as they prepared for their future. By 1981- 1982, as Seniors, they could select from a curriculum of 81 Vfe apporved credits. Text books and instructional materials were up-dated. Extra cur- ricular activities were expanded. Build- ing renovations and repairs were be- gun. Every graduating class leaves its own imprint on its high school, and the Class of 1982 is no exception. While it will be remembered for many accom- plishments, the Class of 1982 will be most remembered as the Class which, as Juniors, dedicated itself to the bring about a rebirth of school spirit, and succeeded in doing so. long before they graduated!

D I D S IN MEMORY OF MRS. PIERCE Mrs. Pierce was a good and understand- ing teacher. She was an easy-going person and not hard to get along with. She taught with interest. Michael Pearson, Senior Through the years of knowing Mrs. Pierce, I felt she touched the lives of many people in a special way. She taught us the beautiful lessons of caring and giving much time and energy above the call of duty. There was a certain inner peace and Personal Fullfillment she possessed which I ad- mired greatly. Miss Mae Swetlik The late Mrs. Vincenza Pierce was a teach- er at M-RH for 17 years. She taught French and Latin, but after they were cut, she then taught English classes. Mrs. Pierce attended several diffferent col- leges. She received her teaching degree from Washington University. Her previous teaching experiences includ- ed Normandy Junior High, St. Elizabeth's High School, and Cahokia High School. She also was a graduate from M-RH in 1938. She was well liked by the staff here at M- RH. Students felt the same way. With her death Mrs. Pierce left her husband and three children. Mrs. Pierce was a nice lady. She was very easy to talk to. She was good at teaching foreign languages. Angel Williams, Senior To Mrs. Pierce, wherever heaven is, God bless you. Mrs. Vincenza Pierce had a deep sense of the worth of her work with stu- dents. She possessed a love of literature that she tried to instill in them. She liked her students and was patient with them. She combined praiseworthy personal qualities with an extensive knowledge of languages and tried to impart that knowledge in a professional way. 122 Debra Crenshaw, Senior Miss Joanne Kilsberg (J3 Smith FUNERAL HOME 7456 Manchester MAP.EW'OOC Congratulations!
