Subject to Change There is no way to know why, but something about this year makes it stand out from all other years. ‘Just a little bit different’ only begins to express the tremendous changes in schedules and classes, all the way to changes in feelings and attitudes about our future. An influx of new students, sharing classes, the Friday after- noon schedule, our eight-minute afternoon break, a student lounge with refreshments, the addition of a Journalism class, and the talk of consolidation or closing MHS all make this year significantly differ- ent — a year worth rememberins. At times it is hard to Feel secure and stable with all of these changes; however, it soon becomes ap- parent that life is never static and we need to deal with the fact that everything is subject to change. On Friday afternoons, students have four hours to work on projects. Mr. Mcintyre, Lance Jones, James Mack, Phillip VanBibber and Jacky Moore.

In a small school you might think you would find very little diversi- ty among students. Actually the re- verse is true at MHS. Whether you are into sports, drama, shop, Home €c. or just your studies; no matter whether you are tall or short, into country or rock, drive a junker or something nice it doesn’t really mat- ter because uniqueness is what counts. At MHS we have more oppor- tunites to try more things which brings out our real differences.

CHALLENGING The 1986 Marquette Cubs football team suffered a relatively disappointing season. The team this year consisted of three seniors, one junior, two sophomores, and seven freshmen. The team saw early that there would be prob- lems filling positions. This problem forced a cou- ple of freshmen to begin at the starting posi- tions. Into the season a couple of weeks later, a few more changes had to be made because of injuries to upperclassmen. The problem was stor eed BENEDICT once again solved by having to start a few Marquette EXETER more freshmen. By the end of the year, half of meaeite Sa. the starting lineup was made up of freshmen.

The varsity ended its season 0-16 and the Junior Varsity ended with a 1-6 record. Their only win was to Bradshaw. The four seniors will definitely be missed but with several returning lettermen, the outlook for the Cub team is promising. With a little willpower, hard work and hustle, the boys should have a more successful season next year. Coach Gilson played as many of the boys on the bench as he could this year. He usually had five that hustled and worked on defense, but if someone wasn’t working, he would subsi- tute. Our only win of the season was a very joy- ous one. The JV's received a third place trophy for the win at the Benedict Tourney. Consider that ball blocked by 8B. J. Holtan and Brad Jac- obsen. ABOVE: Curtis Moore looks inside for another , shot.

Boys' Girls’ Track 31 Junior High Sports A Time to Learn The purpose of Junior High ath- letics is to expose Junior High stu- dents to sports, to develop their skills, and to help them decide which sport, if any, they like playing. In addi- tion, these students learn that sportsmanship and team work go to- gether to create a common goal — having a good time. This year, the Ju- nior High program had only two boys out for football so the Marquette athletes played on the Polk football team. ; ). TOP RIGHT: Girls’ Basketball — D. Vetter, C. Christenson, J.

MHS is Alive with the Sound of Music Two new faces replaced both music instructors from last year. Mrs. Christy Clarke was the chorus teacher and Mr. Robert Becker directed the bands. The chorus and band were joined with the Polk Hordville group. Every other week, the students in band would travel to Polk for a joint practice. The chorus practiced together before concerts or con- tests. The students enjoyed this routine because it gave them a chance to get to know other kids. “It’s also just nice to do some- thing different than everyone else,'' said Dara Jacobsen, a student involved in both groups.

Speech and drama activities were a new experience for many this year. The Speech class began preparing for the one-act play contest in October, performing in November and De- cember, and achieving an excel- lent rating. The Speech team be- gan its season in January with contests in February and March. The end of March saw tryouts for the all- school plays. Twenty-two students particpated in the three one-act plays. Six months is an exceptionally long season, but one that many en- joyed immensely as they learned about the meaning of real teamwork, long practices, and sacrifice. The Speech Team consisted of Dara Jacobsen, Allison Vetter, Lisa Pritchett, Kim Harris, Monica Hutsell, Jeri Russell, and Billy Mersch. Only Monica had any prior experience with Speech events. All received Excellent ratings in their area.
