of Our Lives Finally we reached our sixth grade and were the big shots of the school. This year was an eventful and lively one. Todd Sackett, clowning around as usual, had a school picture taken posing as a girl wearing Mrs. McKane's wig. John I.aClair and Mark Koehler decided to hang by their ankles out of the third story windows above the playground. Unfortunately they were in full view of the principal's office and we were subjected to a long lecture. Tom Spitz and Mike Coleman had a direct connection to Japan via their banana telephones, lHello Tokyo?!?!l. We found out we had criminals in our class when Jim Reiss, Barb Reifsteck, Rod Kendall and Diane Fessler were caught illegally entering Larry LaJoies desk. The jury found them guilty and they were sentenced to clean the board and erasers for a week. The chorus presented two plays, Twas the Night Before Christmas and Really Rosie. True loves of the year were: Melani and Darren, Doug and Julie, Mike M. and Sandy R., Kim A. and Dan S., and Brian S. and Cheryl S. Our year came to a close with field days, our class picnic, and a tour of the high school. The beginning of our life at the big school was difficult, confusing and frightening. lf we weren't wandering around lost, trying to find the shop, school store or gym, we were standing in front of our lockers trying to make our combinations work . . . that is if we could remember them. Once we did finally get our lockers opened they were usually slammed shut by the upperclassmen. We were faced with many new experiences such as competing in interscholastic sports, girls in the shop, and the guys taking Home Ec. Mrs. Ramsey's homeroom won first place in the penny chain contest. Kathy Pinkney won the Hoffman Essay Contest. We sold Going Places booklets for our class project making a profit of S350 towards our senior trip. It was a good feeling not to be the little guys anymore as we returned as eighth graders. We were adjusted to the routine this year, although we did have our moments. Math class seemed to be the place where we just couldn't stay out of trouble. Dave Madison and Rod Kendall engaged in a pen war whenever Mr. Travis turned his back, until they were caught and had to take a public bath in front of the class. Mike DeClerck showed his athletic leadership by breaking away on the basketball court and scoring for the other team. Our class project was the Turkey Dinner. We all looked forward to our next year when we'd begin our first year of Senior High School. As ninth graders we realized it was time to hit the books as many of us would face regents in June. We became active in j.v. and varsity sports, the musical and clubs. We were subjected to Shakespeare, mythology, labs, social studies maps and Mr. DeRue's jokes. In the spring we had the Garbage Pickup to raise money. Our sophomore year was a fun filled year for our class. We were really starting to enjoy being a part of the Sr. High scene and showing our school spirit by cheering our athletes on to victory. Biology brought on many new experiences such as: oral reports on the various organs of the body, dissecting, and running around outside with proton, neutron and electron hats pretending to be an atom. Ordering our class rings was the event of the year and getting them turned 83 times. The Sophomore Supper was our class project and we raised nearly 51000. Our class had really grown together throughout the year, enjoying school and our weekends. Eleventh grade was tougher than most of us had expected. We were faced with Mr. Henrie's apathy lectures and degradation of women, English novels, and Mr. Rehor's tales of his high school days. Chem. lab was unpredictable and often dangerous as Mike Miller discovered when he leaned over a bunsen burner and singed his eyebrow. Once again math class proved too troublesome for Rod Kendall, as he erformed a running dive roll out the window. We sold World's Finest Chocolate candy bars for our class pro- ject, making nearly 52000. Some of our classmates began studies at Boces this year. Most of us survived our regents and looked for- ward tothe coming year as seniors. Our senior year has been an eventful one. Our first activity was the Senior Booth at the Fair in August. Here we became skilled cooks, waitresses and waiters and had a lot of fun painting the booth with signs of our class. We returned in September with a new feeling of closeness and anticipation knowing this was our last year together. We had acquired two foreign exchange students who have added a lot to our class. In the fall we held our magazine drive and sur- prisingly raised more money than any other class before us. The first annual 'MN' Homecoming in October was an enjoyable event for us and the school. A memorable moment was getting together for our class picture at Means' pond, including a goodbye splash for Jeff Hobbs. The Senior Play brought out the hidden talents in our class, including exceptional performances by our sound crew. We pulled together for a strong finish to become the Penny Fund Cham- pions. We also became the most spirited class as we outyelled the sophomore class at the pep assembly. We are working together and looking forward to the Senior Dinner Dance, the trip to Washington, the Senior Picnic and finally I P graduation. We have grown together over the past 13 years. Hopefully in the - , years ahead we will remember the times we have shared as a whole and join A once again at reunions to keep the memories alive. Much love, happiness and success to the Class of 83. 'www Tracy DeRidder Senior Editor Diane Richards Editor-In-Chief ADVISORS - Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Quill, Mrs. Reinhardt 5
