Marshall Marshall, MI 49068 Opening 1 breaking through the OREDOM Although the school year started off slowly and students quickly fell back into routine, many events took place that broke the monotony of school. The student body’s spirits were lifted with Homecom- ing and cheering on the football team. Lip sync contests were featured at two of the dances and the cheerleaders sponsored a morp, opposite of prom. People were en- couraged to dress down for this dance. During the basketball season, the majority of the student body could be found in a gym on Friday nights cheering on the bas- ketball team. No matter how humdrum school got at times, It all Came Together. 2 Opening Showing their winning form are Tony Elms, senior, Todd Rayner, junior, and Chris Lindsey, junior.

When school finally started, there was no assistant principal, and the students won- dered how the year was going to go. Finally, the contracts were settled and things started to pick up. Then, Mr. duBois was hired as the assistant principal and he encouraged school unity and spirit. All of these things could not have hap- pened without a great deal of teamwork. This factor pulled everyone together and united the students and faculty. Because of this . . . IT ALL CAME THROUGH.

But every now and then everyone was entitled to a break such as Homecoming, Spirit Festival, Junior Miss and Prom. Every little bit helped to relieve frustrations and anxieties. In the pro- cess classes were united, friendships evolved and spirits were ignited. Students were able to show artistic and athletic ability while striving to be the best and having fun in the process. Everywhere one looked there seemed to be a smile that had been hidden deep within. Laugh- ter once again roamed the halls which made everyone more relaxed. Sometimes these breaks were a little more than just tension relievers. They enabled students to believe in themselves which got them back on the homework track. In the end it all came through to make the school year just a little more exciting.____________ 6 Student Life CHEERING CLASSMATES ON.

School doors closed as suitcases were pulled out of the closet for those who had vacation plans set al- ready. “My family and Matt Davis’ went to Lake Tahoe.” mentioned junior Kevin Giannunzio. “I took a trip to Hilton Head Is- land with some friends,” mentioned sophomore Kevin Young. For some students, sum- mer was not all fun. They had jobs to keep them busy. “I worked with my dad roofing and siding houses,” mentioned fresh- man Toby Crull. “1 worked with animals at Wilcox Veterinary Hospital,” stat- ed Sarah Slater, junior. Other students attend- ed various camps around the state to better them- selves in areas such as sports. “Our cheerleading squad went to Central Michigan University. We earned awards for out- standing skills, stunts, spirit, leadership, and squad unity,” commented junior Lori Cook. Others went to camp to improve skills. “1 went to journalism camp at Michigan State ana won the Advanced Photogra- pher Award,” mentioned junior Trent Wakenight. Senior Tiffany Wagner added, “1 went to a de- bate institute and learned A LOT!” For sophomores, school may have been out but they still had to report there for one month of drivers’ edu- cation. Before you knew it, the three months ended and the bikinis and beachballs were put away. WHAT A TRIP. Senior Mitch Mathews traveled overseas to Germany for a portion of his summer vacation.

Over the loudspeak- er you could hear each person's school activities and hobbies being an- nounced. Reichert commented, “Be- ing in a sharp-looking car made me feel as though I was Cinderella in the ele- gant carriage and sitting in front of the crowd, watch- ing the game, knowing that my peers chose me was the greatest feeling of all.” Junior attendant Chris- tina Pratt added, “Home- coming was very special because I got to share it with my two brothers John Selected as Queen for Homecoming was Jennifer LaBonte. She commented, “I felt extremely proud to be chosen to represent MHS.

Thursday began with competitions such as the hula hoop contest, football pass, and innertube race. “The innertube race was fun. but I almost fell on my face running around the track,” laughed sophomore Leslie Bonnell. The night ended with the traditional bonfire. ‘‘I couldn’t believe we won the class cheer for the first time ever,” stated junior Benet Walsh. Friday afternoon, stu- dents piled into the gym waving signs and scream- ing chants. Many students were dressed in red or black and wearing war- paint. Some events on Friday were the tug-a-war. Big Mac eating contest, and jel- ly bean toss. “I liked the A QUICK STEP. Dashing to win DRINKING WITH EASE.

Even though the compe- tition was tough, the se- niors took first place. “I think the most exciting thing about homecoming was winning the lawn dis- f)lay,” explained senior Kel- y O’Dowd. The assembly ended when Mr. Rich Hulkow in- troduced the members of the team. Suddenly the crowds started to forget about the competition between each other and just yelled for the team, stated junior Kevin Giannunzio. Homecoming turned out to be very successful. “It was a fun time when all fans competed, but showed their spirit,” commented freshman Lisa Bochenek. DIG IN. As classmates yell.

Albright 14 Homecoming Week Days IRRESSING up the halls with spirit Excitement was the emotion that flowed through the halls during the whole week of Home- coming. Everyone won- dered who would win the class cheer, who would win the lawn display, and who would dominate overall in the end. “I looked forward to Home- coming week because it was a new experience for me,” stated Kim Huds- beth, freshman. Competition was close in the beginning as the week started off with the five traditional dress up days. Monday was Hat, Tie and Glasses Day. Beach Day was Tuesday. Wednesday was Pajama Day or Toga Day for Se- niors. Thursday was Fright Day and finally, wearing Red and Black was on Friday. “The Ju- niors put up a good fight but senior power pulled through in the end,” com- mented senior Mark Van- derweg. After winning the game Friday, everyone swarmed into the cafete- ria for a night of celebrat- ing, but instead of Friday being the night of the semi-formal dance, it was carried over to Saturday. This proved to be a great success. “Having the dance on Saturday this year was a lot better because I didn’t have to worry about what my hair looked like after the football game,” laughed Jenny Fountain, sophomore.

My talent was great even after my rabbit popped out of his box too soon and ruined my mag- ic tricks,” commented Cindy Rexrode. Talents, Physical Fit- ness, and Poise and Ap- pearance weren't the only categories judged upon. The girls were also judged on attitude as well as working together as a group. “It was an experi- ence that 1 will never for- get and it brought me closer to the girls,” de- scribed Kelly O'Dowd who was the winner of the Youth Fitness award.

VVakenight It was time again. School pride shone as the week of Spirit Festival be- gan. The week started out with the announcement of the theme, “Board Games.” Senior Julie Lapp mentioned, “I thought the theme was a unique idea, but. after four years, any- thing looks good.” Each class had six days to complete their finished window display. Seniors came on top with a check- er board arrangement. Ju- IM niors, along with the soph- omores, tied for second place, and the freshmen completed the standings. Once again, the dress up days took place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday was College Day; Thurs- day was tropical Day, or “Get ready for Spring Break” Day; Friday was the traditional Red and Black day. Junior Tina Hughes added, “Tropical Day was the only fun dress up day. I consider College Day an excuse for people to grub and say they’re spirited.” On Friday the entire student body spent 5th and 6th hour in the gym participating in events. Students had various opinions as to which event was their favorite. “My fa- vorite event is the mum- my wrap because every year that Kelly O’Dowd and 1 have done it, we have won!” mentioned se- nior Mark Monk. Sopho- more Jason Eslinger add- ed, “I like the tug-o-war because it really shows which class has the most strength.” Freshman Diana Orns commented, “The pizza eating contest is definitely the best. It shows how many pigs we have in school!” As the events came to a close, the senior class came out on top with the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen to follow. Spirit Festival excite- of pride ment continued as some of the teachers put togeth- er a skit that made fun of the Lakeview Spartans. Finally, the Marshall High School basketball team was introduced and the student body was dis- missed afterwards. That night, Marshall played against Lakeview and Marshall came out victorious. Following the game, the cheerleaders sponsored a grub” dance. Everyone dressed as messy as possible and photos were taken with their favorite partner in grub. Spirit Festival LET’S DANCE.

Every day students heard the voice of Big Daddy” Armstrong on the announcements rockin' to the “Peppermint Twist.” “Let’s go to the Hop.” the original “La- Bamba,” and many other 50’s hits. “ ‘Big Daddy,’ Arm- strong really set the mood the whole week by play- ing the old songs. By Fri- day I couldn’t wait until the dance,” commented Lynda Dirmeyer, sopho- more. Friday afternoon some seniors put on a predance show in the cafeteria to demonstrate the various dances, which really got the students fired up. “It was great watching the seniors dance to the old songs,” stated fresh- man Paul Reed. The dance was from 8:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. and Northern Lights played the medley of hits which really got the stu- dents swaying. “My favorite part of the whole dance was watch- ing everyone try to dance to the songs. If they didn’t know how to dance to the songs they resorted to twisting,” exclaimed Tammy Gage, junior. The Limbo contest is always a highlight of the 50’s dance. The over-all winners this year were seniors Kelly O'Dowd and Steve Clark. After the fun was all over it was time to put away the poodle skirts until next year when stu- dents could take another step back in time. PURCHASING HIS DATE’S cor- sage is Matt Davis.

Albright AS YOU ENTER the prom, these two animals are what you would see to your right. This was the jungle area of the J-Hop. —S. Hatcher Preparing for an evening of glamour The time of year rolled around once again. Prom was the thought on every- one’s mind. As meetings were sched- uled, juniors fled to Mr. Armstrong’s room to come up with the theme for the J- Hop. “It took three meet- ings and Jungle Love was our final choice,” com- mented Beth Hill, junior. As girls were asked to the prom, the first thing on their minds was to find the ultimate dress and acces- sories to match. “I looked until I found the one that I really, really liked.” added junior Hilarie Needham. For the guys it was order- inga tuxedo to match their date’s dress, ordering flow- ers and making dinner ar- rangements. Tnough thoughts of prom night were some- thing to look forward to, the completion of building it was a first priority for the junior class. Approximately three weeks of designing, paint- ing. and building was what it took to transform the cafeteria into a jungle at- mosphere. To the left of the entrance was a tropical rainforest, along with a bridge, and to the right was the jungle. The eating area was built as one large bam- boo hut with a grass shack as the refreshment stand. Junior Heather Belcher commented. “I loved our idea and I thought it was really creative. I enjoyed working on it.” Juniors James Meste- maker and Shelby Low- man deserved major credit for their intricate painting and designing. As the construction came to a close and the prom preparations were completed, the colored lights were turned on and the junior class finally got a chance to sit back and admire what they had completed. Through all of the help of Mr. Ben Armstrong and the dedication of the ju- niors, the J-Hop was all set to occur the following evening.

After lots of fussing and preparation for the big night, it finally arrived. The theme of J-Hop was “Jungle Love.” The cafete- ria was set up with wild animals, bamboo huts, vines, waterfalls, and many other wilderness ideas. “I thought the theme was great. The backgrounds looked so real. It was really nice seeing how well ev- erything turned out after all the hard work that went into it,” commented Mi- chelle Patton, junior. The band for this even- ing of elegance was “Cen- ter Stage.” They played the whole evening at the dance from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. “The band played some really good songs. I didn’t think they would sing anything 1 knew, but they did a tre- mendous job.” said Lisa Haroff. freshman. Pictures of the couples were taken by Craft Stu- dios from 8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The back- ground setting for the pic- tures was a bridge with a night-like sky. Dress styles were end- less. They ranged from short and mini to long and elegant. There were also many different styles of men’s fashion such as tails and pin-striped tuxedos with fun colored bow ties and cumberbuns. “I couldn’t believe all the styles I saw when I got there. People were wearing so many different kinds of dresses that I never even imagined,” mentioned sophomore Lisa Pacetti. The night came and went as usual. The official time the dance ended was 12:30 a.m. For some people the night was just begin- ning, but for others it was time to go home and get some rest for the next day. “We went to Cedar Point the next day. It was a blast. I think we covered about every ride until it started to rain,” commented se- nior Mark Vanderweg. After a long weekend of hardly any sleep, stu- dents got to look for- ward to school the next day. “I think prom would be better if it was a three day weekend because most kids are too tired to go to school the next day,” said Greg Labun. junior.

Wakenight EHEARSING an event to remember As the weeks of school came to a close, seniors fled to the Marshall Mid- dle School to begin prep- aration on Class Night ’88. Their first job was to think up creative skits based on past high school experiences, friendships, and funny memories. Se- nior Matt Davis com- mented, “The hardest part was coming up with skits that would make ev- eryone laugh.” As skits were thought up, they had to be pre- sented to senior sponsor, Mr. Brian Burns. Fillers then had to be prepared for the purpose of enter- taining while the stage was being cleared. Senior [ody Crull add- ed, “Class Night rehears- als take A LOT of work and A LOT of time, espe- cially when we still have exams to take, but it is really bringing our class together and we are all getting really close.” Also being worked on. during the weeks of prep- aration, was the tradi- tional slide show. This ar- ray of pictures taken throughout the year and during rehearsals was prepared by Sara Rei- chert and Ted Hayes. Senior Todd Turner commented, “The slide show brings back a lot of memories and I know it will be emotional when it’s shown to everyone. As late night rehearsals were completed, the se- niors had a show full of memories to present in the night to come. Class Night Prep. 27 IS IT REALLY PHIL DONAHUE?

Schol- arships were presented to seniors in academic and extra-curricular areas. Recipients of the Bill Holt Scholarship were Sara Reichert and Jason Devine. Winners of the Steve Wasielewski Memorial Scholarship were Jenni- fer Labonte and Jason De- vine. Jason commented. “It was such an honor to win even one of the scholarships, but to win both is something I will never, ever forget!” Class Night got heated up as soon as the curtains opened and the seniors began singing their ver- sion of “Old Time Rock-n- Roll” by Bob Seager. Thev then cleared the stage for the skits to take over. Skits ranged in all areas from poking fun at teachers to singing to dancing. After half of the acts were completed, the tra- ditional slide show was presented to the audi- ence. Included in the show was a mixture of pictures taken through- out the year from Home- coming, Spirit Festival, classrooms, dances, and pictures taken during class night rehearsals. As sad songs played in the background, fond memo- ries filled most of the au- diences’ eyes with tears. After a short intermis- sion. the seniors contin- ued to entertain until the end came near. They piled up onto the stage once again to sing their Class Night ’88 song and to express to the crowd of friends and fam- ily that they were ready to take on the future that lies ahead for them. 28 Class Night DOING THE WOURI SHUFFLE are Christan Ahn and Mitch Mathews.

Jennifer LaBonte and Tony Bedwell were the other speakers that even- ing who talked about achievements, all the memories, and, of course, how the time went by so fast. The seniors were ready for graduation so they could move on with their future plans. “It’s kind of scary to think that I’m going to have to worry about col- lege and everything, but 1 know I have to. It’s going to be just like starting over.” stated Tony Chara- meda. “It’s kind of sad to think that my high school years are over. I knew it was al- most time to be moving on,” said Scott Hudspeth.

The graduation party was held at the Marshall Country Club from 10:00 till 2:00 p.m. The party was provided by the par- ents of senior members. Mrs. Lucy Overheiser was in charge of every- thing. Mrs. Kay LaBonte was in charge of decora- tions and Mrs. Sue Youngdhal was in charge of the invitations. The theme this year was “Club Flamingo. As you entered the Country Club, many were amazed by the elaborate decora- tions such as flamingos and palm trees. The whole setting provided a warm atmosphere. In past years a live band was selected, but this year seniors danced to an array of medleys ar- ranged by a disc jockey. They were also able to see videos from class night and from the graduation ceremony. After the fun was all over seniors were able to look ahead and face the challenges that would pass before them and use their knowledge to be- come successful in what- ever they decided to do.

Ramon Through HARD WORK Staying up late trying to finish an assignment or study- ing for a final exam was a little part of what went into the academic classes. For some students achieving in sports or other programs was easier than being recognized for the honor roll. The administration put on an honor roll breakfast which took place on Education Day of Michi- gan Week for the students who worked hard on their grades. In addition, an awards ceremony honored the outstanding students in each department. To broaden students’ minds, the administration added a new class. World cultures became a required course for sophomores. It focused on different countries and their cultures. Through hard work, the students were able to turn assignments in on time and receive A’s on other assign- ments. The administration was also able to add new programs and honors to the the academic programs so that it all came through. 36 Academics Cramming before next hour, seniors Jody Crull and Susan Miller finish their studying.

Ms. Kendra Magnus .. 20% Mr. Brian Burns...... 19% Mr. John Ickes........ 18% Mrs. Gloria Wheeler . . . 6% Various Others........ 33% Out of 100 surveyed. Nooooooo! Students cried when teachers gave out bundles of homework. Students got tired of classes and assignments everyday. This was not always the case. Teachers had unique ways of teach- ing their classes, ranging from a lab in science class to having field trips. There were many teachers who had special ways of teach- ing. Students had many ideas about which teacher taught in a unique way. “In Mr. Brian Burns’ lass, social issues, there are no ooks, no tests, and you get to write your feelings about certain topics,” expressed Kelly Avery, freshman. Mrs. Carol Edwards acts very bubbly and she shows her ex- pression with her hands and body,” laughed David VValbeck. sophomore. Teachers got the class interest- ed by using many methods. For example, Mr. John Ickes used his talking pencils, and Ms. Kendra Magnus had her witty sayings. “When Mr. Ickes uses his pencils like puppets, he creatively gets the class’ attention,” stated Beth Hill, junior. “Ms. Magnus makes learning fun. When assignments and re- ports get really heavy in class, she keeps everything light and makes it fun, explained senior Paula Smith. If that did not work, there was always the forceful way of keep- ing a student interested. Mr. Bar- ney Roy used his burn method. By using this method, students stayed interested in the class. “Mr. Roy makes the class fun to be in. By making his class excit- ing, there is no way you can fall asleep, because he will burn you with a three minute speech,” claimed Francis Sutton, junior. As each day passed on, the students went to the same class at the same time. So things got a little humdrum, but the teachers had methods to spice it up. Will it hold the weight?

Johnson “Mrs. Hainline is a very nice teacher who explains things well, and does no! give us much homework. She makes world cultures more inter- esting.” —Brent Haitt, sophomore Every year students were anxious about find- ing out who their teachers would be. Students were usually familiar with most teachers, but the new school year was a dif- ferent situation for a lot of kids. There were three new teachers added to the teaching staff at Marshall High School. The excitement of having a new teacher was shared by senior Lisa Mumaw, “Mrs. Hainline is a very nice person and a great teacher. I have learned a lot from her.” It was a new experience not just for the students, but also for the new teachers themselves. Saun- dra Hainline taught world cul- tures and American government. She mentioned her feelings to- ward Marshall High School. “It is wonderful! I am really enjoying teaching here. There are so many positive activities going on for the students.” Another addition to the teach- ing staff was Ann Merkel. Her at- titude toward the students here was, “They are fine young people who are interested in gaining knowledge, living life, and devel- oping a direction for their future.” She also commented, “The Board of Education, administrators, and teachers are committed to provid- ing the best educational experi- ence possible for all those young people who attend Marshall High School. It is a pleasure to be a part of this school.” Also new was Mr. Jim Hender- shot. He taught redskin fitness and shop. He added, “Marshall High School has an excellent staff and very good students over all. 1 felt it was a big change coming from a class D school, and that I could be very comfortable spend- ing many years of my career in education at Marshall High School.” Junior Chris Ulrey com- mented, “Mr. Hendershot grades hard and is strict with rules.” With the encouragement of cheerful, smiling students how could these new faces not feel welcome. It may have been hard to adjust to their new jobs, but eventually these new teachers felt right at home. Who's That 41 I - H20. Eric Goodwin sips at the water foun- tain between classes.

It seemed to be a nev- er ending cycle. Having to study ana do homework ev- ery night put a lot of pres- sure on the brain. Freshman Jason Lee stated. “To relax my brain I think of good-looking girls. Sophomore lohn Brawley said, “To relax my brain 1 stop studying, turn on the radio, and go to sleep.” Only having two words of input on the subject was senior Ranay Russell “Wnat brain?” Parents always wondered why their children were so tired. Did they ever stay up late to work on homework or to study for tests? Senior Craig Meza said, “How late I would stay up to study would depend on what I’m studying for. If it is an important test I would stay up until I knew the material.” Junior Jeremy Shirey commented. “I would stay up only until nine p.m. at the latest.” Junior Scott Reagle added, “I would not stay up at all.” Studying was not something that came easily for most people. It took a lot of time and effort. After awhile one needs a break. Freshman Lesa Fabiszak said, “When I need to take a break from studying, I eat and listen to mu- sic. Sophomore Courtney Elvea quoted, “I call a friend. Sopho- more Jason Eslinger added, “I go to sleep or eat. Some students felt they iust plain could not study or they found ways of avoiding it. Sopho- more Dan Ellerby added, “I forget and leave my books in my locker.” Also commenting was Freshman Amy Dempsey, “I make myself think I've studied enough.” Soph- omore Kevin Brown admitted, “I don’t even think of taking my books home. Junior Jason Morse commented, “To get away from too much homework and study- ing, I study hard in class and get it done; don't talk is the key.” Everyone had a different opin- ion of homework and studying, but the decision they made to study or not, determined the out- come of the grade they received.

The sounds of the stu- dents had dispersed. The classrooms were locked and the lights had been turned off. but there was a light on. Inside the classroom there was a stu- dent working on a make-up test. In the next room there were students trying to make the deadline for the paper. In the gym students were having practices for sports. Off in the corner were a group of students trying to convey the day’s gossip. After school there were many things going on. Some- times students did so much after school that they considered it a sec- ond home. “The school is like a sec- ond home because my friends, which I consider my family, are here,” expressed Angie Shepherd, freshman. There were many reasons for staying after school. “I stay after school for band and basketball practice,” stated Carrie Beneker, sophomore. “After I got into an argument with Mrs. Karen Grove. I had to stay after for an hour of detention. I just talked to Steve Day and read a book the whole hour,” laughed David Trine, senior. Time after school depended on many factors. “I stay long enough to get to the car,” laughed Tim Sam- son, junior. “I stayed to 10 p.m. to help direct the traffic for the Band Festival,” declared Rachael Price, sophomore. “When practices for softball start. I don’t get done until 4 p.m.,” ex- pressed junior, Michelle Korman. After being here for four years, seniors felt sad that they had to leave the school since it was a sec- ond home. “I’m going to cry! I won’t be able to see my friends here,” ex- claimed Deirdra Randant, senior. “I’m going to miss all the friends and the teachers that I met over the years,” sighed Tina VanderHorst, senior. When students missed a test or got involved in a sport, there were days that students needed to stay after school. The time spent after school depended on the project that needed to be done. After a few years of practices, games, and test re- takes, students felt a feeling like that of their home. 44 Another Home Discussing all the days happenings after school, Chris Mann, senior: Michelle Mill- er, sophomore; and Lisa Miller, senior talk at four corners.

Johnson “I got in trouble everyday last year in Mr. Beneker's class for trying to be a class clown. — Keith Edwards. junior As the class be- came bored due to the teacher's mo- notonous voice, there was a loud outburst in the back of the class- room. Any ideas of who that outburst came from? Yes, you guessed right. It was the class clown. It seemed there was one in every class. There were many opinions of what exactly a class clown was. According to senior Sara Donnelly, A class clown is someone who will do anything to get the attention of the class and tne teacher. Senior Robert Joyner explained, “A class clown is some- one who loves attention.” Being a class clown was usually thought of as a joke or funny, but not when getting in trouble was in- volved. Junior Jason Redman ex- plained his situation. “In Mr. Roy’s class I always get busted, and al- ready I have nine burn speeches. Class clowns might have added excitement to the class, but while doing that they might not have re- ceived everyone’s approval or re- spect. Freshman Tohy Crull ad- mitted, “I respect a class clown if the person respects other people and if the person is funny enough to amuse tne other people. On tne other hand, some students enjoy the actions of class clowns. Junior Joe Garber also added, “I respect class clowns only if they are fun- ny.” Having the title “class clown may or may not be something a person would want, according to your own standards. Sophomore Dean VandenHeede explained, “Of course, I do not consider myself a class clown. It would be below me to interrupt the pupils around me that are expanding their under- standing.” There seemed to be a variety of definitions to what a class clown was, and each class clown was viewed and judged differently de- pending upon many circum- stances. But, the real judgment should have come from the class clowns themselves. Class Clowns 47 a @ a dl ® DDD 8 ® S Is it hot enough?

Instead of just taking notes and tests, the science classes did many experiments. Two of the major experiments were in the biology and advanced biol- ogy class. They were the dis- secting of the fetal pig and the genetic experiment of the fruit flies. I am not looking forward to dissecting a pig. The guts make me feel sick!” explained Melissa Heffner, freshman. Sara Donnelly, senior, ex- pressed her feeling about the fruit flies. “They’re gross but it is fun to play with them. We have to etherize them and then look on their bellies to see if they are a boy or a girl.” I have learned a lot in ad- vanced biology, and I feel that the labs are preparing me for college,” suggested Chris Mann, senior. Along with the biology classes, there was chemistry taught by Mrs. Carol Edwards and assisted by Mrs. Michelle McCandless. The physics class was taught by Mr. A1 Elyea. To keep the students up to date in the world of computers, different levels of computer classes were offered. The classes were introduction to computers, basic computers, and programming. They were all taught by Mr. John Malin- owski. “I took computers be- cause I figured I need the expe- rience for college,” stated Shanda Brankovich, senior. With the science and com- puter classes, the students ad- vanced their minds for their fu- ture. 48 Science Computers Programming the computer, Rob Vi- land. senior, puts in all the informa- tion.

During my job, 1 use my skills in math to help me.” Sarah Breitkructz, junior experience Want to buy a car? Want to go to the movies? What’s the first thing done before buying something or going some- where? First thing is to see if there is enough money. If not, borrowing money from the parents or using the ether al- ternative of learning to budget money can help in getting what needed. In the math and business departments, stu- dents were able to learn how to use money, figure problems, and type. Some students didn’t think math or business classes would help them in their future, but there were some who did. Jen- ny Dye, sophomore, comment- ed, “The math classes I took will help in my everyday life like when I go buy something or need to figure something out.” Kristin Kinter, freshman, states, “My math class with Mr. Duffy will help me in my fu- ture. I plan to go into a math related career and I plan to take many math classes at college.” If students didn’t budget their money and ran out, where did they go to get more? Shari Hartung, junior, ex- plained, “I had lots of money in the bank, but I used it all up. Now, I rely on my parents to help me out. But, hopefully I can get a job. I learned my les- son on spending all my money at once.” “I always have money! I know how to budget it,” said junior Trent Wakenight. No matter what the situation was, the things learned in the math and business class was a helpful experience.

Social issues, which was taught by Mr. Brian Burns, dealt with the past and present. It also enabled students to speak what was on their mind, and learn about themselves in the process. “Social issues is fun, but you have to write a lot.” added freshman Robert Cable. World cultures dealt with learning abut the world and its cultures. Sophomore Darcie Baldwin claimed, “In world cultures we learn about the way people live in the world.” Mrs. Abbie Albright, Mrs. Saundra Hainline, and Mr. Dick Hamilton were the teach- ers who explained world cul- tures to the students. American history related di- rectly to our country’s history. Junior Casey Currier com- mented, “In Mr. Hamilton’s class, we hardly ever use our books because he outlines our chapters in his own words, and he goes into great detail to help us understand American histo- ry.” Also teaching American history were Mrs. Albright and Mr. Barney Roy. Seniors were able to learn more about today’s society and the way the government works in government and economics class. Senior Todd LaForge commented, “In government we learn how the government works and in economics we learn about the way to spend and save money.” All of the social studies classes seemed to help the stu- dents learn to make decisions about the past and the present, or about tneir own lives.

Freshman Steve Washburn said, “In woodshop we learn to joint wood along with other things having to do with wood.” Cer- tain skills were taught by Mr. Jim Hendershot, Mr. Kelly Wil- liams, Mr. Richard Murphy, and Mr. Floyd Benecker. Fresh- man Robert Weis commented about learning certain skills in woods class, “In woods class we learn to use power tools.” In in- dustrial arts, students may have gained special skills that they needed in the future. Physical education was re- quired for one year and taken during the freshman year. Physical education helped build special skills in a differ- ent way. In physical education individual and team skills were improved along with building up the body and stay- ing physically fit. Mr. Tom Reynolds and Ms. Kay Hopkins made sure these bodies stayed in perfect shape, junior Ted Russell added, “Co-ordination is a skill learned in physical education.” Junior Shasta Mace replied, “We learn how to lift weights properly and how to play sports as a team.” Soph- omore Melissa Skrobot said, “A young person needs gym be- cause it helps people grow in- ward and outward, giving a person a sense of self-worth.” Both of these classes offered the learning and building of special skills that ended in a positive result.

Soon, there was a blasting of in- struments that made everyone stand up and clap. The band and jazz band were able to capture the crowd and psyche them up for the games. Being a member in the band meant a lot of hard work, determi- nation, and to play an instrument to the very best. Michelle Korman who played the clarinet for seven years and the saxophone for one year stated. “The best part of be- ing in the band is being with and making new friends. It’s hard work which non-band members don't believe, although the hard work pays off!” To be in the band, there was one essential thing to learn. Marching was considered easy to some and hard to some other members. “I enjoy marching be- cause it instills discipline and pride in what you do as a group. It also gives the community a chance to be proud of what we do,” nior. Amy Sanders, sophomore, ex- presses her feelings about march- ing. “It can be fun, but during the games and practices it is also tir- ing.” . , ! P do,” explained Tony Deters, se- Tweet! Tweet!

Wakenight To make the year a successful one, the band members started practicing in the summer at band camp. Cassie Howland, freshman, explained. “Band camp is a lot of fun, but the practice is really grueling.” After the football games, the jazz band started practicing every Monday for the basketball games. The members thought the jazz band was necessary for many rea- sons. “I think the jazz band is nec- essary because it provides music for the games and it gets more people into the spirit of the ?;ames,” declared Becky Gillen, reshman. Don Quada admitted, “I like the jazz band because I am able to get into the games free.' Along with the marching, the band members perform in con- certs. The concerts are held downtown Marshall or in the school’s auditorium. “The con- certs we give are great. We need the public exposure so that we know how to act at festivals and other events onstage, expressed Susan Faulkner, senior. As the band and jazz band sea- son passed on, tne members looked back on all the hard work and remembered the crowd’s en- thusiastic feeling brought on by the music. a © a cfl ® cm 8 3 S 56 Band Iazz Band ‘ ir] Concentrating on all the right moves.

Jenny Bicknell, senior and choir member, states, “If I miss a note, I will keep going on be- cause not everyone knows about music and what each note is.” “When I mess up I turn all red and shake my head hoping that no one noticed. One time I was performing in front of a large audience and my end pin, part that holds up the base, fell off. I had to go off stage to put it back on,” commented Todd Feltman, junior. As the choir sang and the or- chestra played, there were mistakes made. Even though the students realized their mis- takes and were embarrassed, the audience did not always seem to notice. The orchestra is sounding their best. They are playing Separate Lives.” The music is flowing, but all of sudden squeak! The choir is perform- ing in front of all their parents and peers. The whole group is singing, “For the Beauty of the Earth,” then someone misses a note! Missing a note is an em- barrassment to the performers. Even though the choir and or- chestra practiced daily, they still made mistakes. Why did they miss the notes? Steve Wheeler, sophomore gives his reasons, “I miss the notes because 1 get nervous even though I can’t see the au- dience.” While performing in front of a large number of people then missing a note, what do you a © Learning the correct way to play the cello.

Johnson “To me art deals di- rectly with creativity because I know can express my ideas through art. Art. like imagination has no limits and if the artist keeps that in mind, anything is possible. — Shawn Brownell, junior at work One may be wondering what English and art have to do with cn other. Does the word cre- ative ring a bell? Creativity in art seems more logical, but actually creativity in English may be just as important. In art creativity is expressed through shapes, emo- tions, and visual effects. In Eng- lish creativity is expressed more through words and imagination, junior Bill VanZandt explains, “I believe that art and literature are very similar. They often show similar trends or ideas and can enlighten one’s outlook on life through their interpretation of the painting or story.” Also commenting was junior Eve At- ley, “I think English and art have a lot in common with each other; they are both forms of communi- cation, one through pictures, and the other through words.” English consisted of vocabu- lary, compositions, grammar, and literature. English was a re- quired class for all grades. Fresh- man Martha Jones admitted, “1 think English should be re- quired because if it wasn’t, then no one would take it and every- one would be stupid and not know how to write and talk properly.” Everyone thought of English in different ways. For example, junior Patty Kuhn said, “I like creative writing, but 1 dislike expository papers and homework.” Art was an elective class, and consisted of studio, two dimen- sional, three dimensional, and senior art. Senior Michelle Pratt expressed her feelings toward art class. I think the art classes are great! It gives other people a chance to draw, study the tech- nique, and be creative. Sopho- more Cindy Russell added, “The art classes available here give us the opportunity to do what we want and get a grade for it. In other words art and English were an important part of the students’ curriculum which may play a major role in their future. ffl C§ ffl fl ® iTO 8 ® s • r.

Getting a basketball out from on top of the equipment room in the gym, Jody Crull, senior, is very helpful to Mr. Reynolds. — L. Hartman Through OUTSIDE EFFORT Through effort outside of school, organization members had the chance to improve on many skills and learn things of great interest. Becoming a member meant devoting extra time to meeting important demands. It required the ability to pull to- gether as a whole and represent the group in the best way possi- ble. This was definitely shown by the varsity debate team, who competed in the state debate tournament, and by the F.F.A. members, who took seventh place at the state convention in agricultural forum. Even though being a member of an organization was demand- ing, it wasn’t all work and no fun. Hard work paid off for mem- bers of the French club, who planned a trip to France. Meeting new people was also something that an organization’s members had the privilege of doing. Through journalism class, those who sold ads got the chance to meet local advertisers out in the community. This provided them with helpful skills for the future. Anyone who became a member of an organization was impor- tant and added to the success of that group. 62 Organizations Layout designing takes much concentration and creativity.

What did journalism have to of- fer? This may have been a ques- tion that was often asked by those who wondered if they should have joined journalism. The an- swer: a lot. Journalism gave one the chance to meet and get to know people. It also taught one how to work well with others. “1 never thought journalism could have helped me to work better with people, but it has, and that's something that has helped me do my job at work,” re- marked junior. Haven Holt. Those people weren’t only members of the class, but they were also people out in the com- munity. “At first. I was hesitant to go out in the community to sell my ads, but after doing the first few. I realized that I was getting the chance to meet and get to know people out there,” admitted senior, Jolyne Myers. Journalism also offered one the opportunity to be more responsi- ble. “Because I had to push really hard to meet my deadlines, jour- nalism taught me quite a bit of re- sponsibility, explained junior, Daniell Zander. 6 6The staff and I learned to- getherness makes if ‘all pull through’. 9 9 —Mrs. Albright During the summer co-editors of the Interchange, Brian Jen- dryka and Joel Schoenmeyer joined by photo-editor Mark Hoeltzel attended a five-day long workshop at Michigan State Uni- versity. Co-editors of the “Dial, Ann Youngdahl and Gretchen Galloway, along with photo editor Trent Wakenight, Matt Ramon and Lara Hartman also attended the workshop. Having attended, one learned about what was in and out in school newspapers and yearbook styles. “Camp provided me with the opportunity to learn about the field and to establish working re- lationships with Michigan jour- nalists,” stated senior Joel Schoenmeyer. Mrs. Abbie Albright, the new enthusiastic advisor in the jour- nalism department, also attended several camps during the summer and came back very excited and ready to begin. She brought cre- ative ideas and a fresh perspec- tive to the newspaper and year- book staffs. Journalism was a class that taught the responsibilities and skill that was helpful for the fu- ture.

Ramon lournalism 65 S pdiking with flair What was the opposite of negative? One hundred per- cent of the people polled, of course, answered affirmative. But how could this have been? Well, what was the opposite of right? Left, right? Wrong. Okay then, wrong, right? Wrong again. There are two opposites of the word. Such was the case with the word negative. In a debate the negative team opposes the affirmative team. A varsity debator must master both of these sides. Junior Toby Arquette and senior Mike Wolf, varsity debators, mastered these tasks when they took a first place at the Kalamazoo Central Tournament and ad- vanced to quarter finals at Ster- ling Heights Stevenson. “Toby and I worked up to our ability, but sadly, didn’t do as well as we wanted,” commented Mike. The junior varsity and nov- ice debate teams each consist- ed of four members who com- peted either negative or affir- mative the whole season. Competing on only one side, one’s ideas about the subject may be persuaded more to- ward one decision. J.V. debator Brad Simmons stated, “The Latin America debate topic was great, but having only de- bated as first negative, my ideas weren’t as open minded as they could have been.” The second semester brought new types of talent to the classroom. Forensics chal- lenged a person to compete in an area that most interested them. A few subjects included as parts of competitions were prose poetry, sales and oratory. Although students usually competed in only one of these, some enjoyed more than one. “In dramatic interpretive, I learned to compete by myself, which was something that I didn’t do in dramatic duo,” re- vealed senior Cathy Swender. Other students enjoyed only one of these. Sophomore Barb Minard commented. “Talking in front of people was new for ((Debate and forensics help develop my speaking and reasoning skills. 9 9 —Sarah Slater me, but I really enjoyed it.” Whether one wanted to learn writing skills, or just loved the thrill of competition, debate and forensics were classes in which students prac- ticed these skills.

Those who did enjoyed changing their personality, clothes, attitudes, and even their voice to make themselves a totally different person. Drama was very important in that it gave the actors a chance to totally experience the emotions, ideas, and characteristics of other people. Freshman Ryan Wilcox stated, “You can do things you never get a chance to do in real life.” Acting wasn’t as easy as it seemed even though it usually ran so smoothly. Many actors rehearsed for weeks and weeks to prepare for even the smallest parts. Each actor had memorized many lines to contribute their part in the entire drama production. Just preparing the lights took hundreds of hours. “1 chose to be light director because it was a challenge and I knew that the show was a success because of my help.” added freshman ((It’s a lot of excitement and I hope I can be more involved with upcoming performances. 9 9 —Maggie LaPietra Andy Currier. It took many people behind the scenes to gather and co-ordinate the props for each set. On the average putting everything together usually took anywhere from 450 to 500 hours. Many long days and nights were passed by rehearsing and rehearsing so that opening night everything would pull together perfectly. The audience may not be aware of the total commitment required to perform in a production on stage. Drama also gave many people the opportunity to meet and get to know their classmates better outside of the classroom, by enabling them to work and share ideas in an unstructured environment. “It was fun working with my classmates and it was a very interesting experience,” revealed sophomore Derek Osborne. Many enjoyed the experience and felt it was a worthwhile activity to pursue. Including drama in school curriculum gave students a taste of the performing arts.

Angie was cho- sen to be a member of National Honor Society not only because of her great academic achievements, but also for her involvement in activities in and outside of school. —L. Hartman iming for high honors Induction into the National Honor Society required more than one thought. To be chosen meant the student had the characteristics of leadership and scholarship as well as the showing of service to the com- munity. National Honor Society members established stan- dards for themselves to use as guidelines throughout their nigh school careers. Mr. Robert Currie, speaker at the junior induction ceremony, explained to the junior inductees, “A goal is where a race ends. You peo- ple must set your goals so that you can be the one who wins that race.” Senior Karen Dean was de- termined to win her race. “Throughout high school 1 kept forcing myself to follow the patterns I set because I knew that this accomplishment would really help me in the fu- ture.” Many students who began planning for their futures early found National Honor Society to be a great help. “It’s very helpful for me to be in National Honor Society because I can use this accomplishment to im- prove my college applications,” admitted junior Christel Hol- brook. Some students found Na- tional Honor Society to be a well-earned reward for excel- lence. “Too often, you only hear about those students in detention who were suspend- ed, so it’s nice to have some- thing like NHS to honor stu- dents who excel,” explained senior Cathy Swender. Juniors who applied to the National Honor Society had to wait until the induction cere- mony to find out if they were accepted.

When asked why she liked dancing and performing on stage, Angie Woods replied, “When I perform people often ask me how it feels to be on stage. It’s a strange feeling, but I love it.

J.A. is a business in itself, which annually produces a new product to sell to the stu- dents and the community. The ’87-’88 I.A. students chose to sell teddy bears which they constructed and dressed in T- shirts representing the four classes. J.A. also did more than just construct teddy bears. They learned how to handle money and finance business af- fairs. Other students learned about marketing products and the best advertising techniques to use. J.A. sold some of the ted- dy bears on an individual basis; others were sold at home bas- ketball games. Michelle Clark was the top salesperson of the J.A. group.

Creating a product and re- ceiving a paycheck are both re- warding for the J.A. member. President Todd Feltman stated, “J.A. gave us a chance to learn and understand business, both profits and losses.” Students felt J.A. better pre- pared them for their future in the business world. “I thought J.A. was a good experience for people go- ing into the business field or for people trying to start their own business. J.A. helped us by teaching business skills and com- munication skills for deal- ing with customers,” thought Brad Simmons. “J.A. was great. I learned how to manage money and a business.

In office practice there were many opportunities available, such as a gym assistant, who helped the physical education teacher prepare for class by set- ting up equipment. An office assistant might have worked in the guidance office, the princi- pal’s office, the attendance of- fice or the athletic office. A stu- dent office assistant would most likely be asked to answer phones, run errands and per- form clerical work.

Although individual victories held deep meaning for many athletes, there were many large victories that ac- tually captured the spirits of everyone for instance: the boys’ varsity basketball team winning a district champi- onship; the boys’ varsity football team winning tne Twin-Valley championship, the girls’ track 3200 meter relay team placing second in the state.

At this level play- ers learn and develop their skills. “1 really learned a lot about basket- ball like fundamentals, plays, and even some rules,” said freshman Amy Gilbert. “We went into a small slump in the middle of the season but recovered fast and fin- ished the season with a good record.” added Chris Baker.

The team’s won-loss record. 1-9. wasn’t outstanding, but to many of the players, that didn’t matter. Most of their losses were due to inexperi- ence. According to Sarah Slater, “Although we did not win according to our record, we won as a team.” Jenny Grezkowiak added, We all had a great year as far as team spirit. Every trip we took was a day to remem- ber.” Being Trudy Maddock’s first year of coaching tennis at Marshall, she felt that this was a building year. Her main objective was to instill the idea that with hard work and dedication comes a win- ning season. She encouraged the girls to set small goals that weren’t unrealistic, yet were attainable. Said Marla Overhiser, “My goal for the season was simple. I wanted to always stay calm. Playing number one singles against the best player in each high school was very frustrating.” Playing number two singles was |enny Grezkowiak, and Heather Franklin played number three singles. The first string doubles team was composed of Bonnie Hall and Kim Bosman, while Sarah Slater and I.aura Wal- ters made up the second string doubles team. Summing up the season, Heather Franklin said, “Even though this is a build- ing year for girls’ tennis and we suffered many losses, we stuck together and cheered for each other.” Strrretch!

The girls’ team finished at 5-5, which was “fantastic.” according to Coach Cronk. “When Coach Roy and I talked at the be- ginning of the season, we only expected the girls to win one or two meets.” One factor in the boys’ successful season was the leadership of the seniors. There were four seniors on the team: Andy Portinga, Tony Bedwell, Steve Clark, and Brian Jendryka. All se- niors gave their best, but Andy Portinga was the only Marshall representative at the state-level compeition. Portinga was predicted to have a good finish at this meet, but was plagued by ill- ness. Steve Clark might have qualified for the state meet if he didn’t been sick at the league and regional meets. Another factor in the teams’ successful seasons was the practices. Practices for cross-country were not easy. Senior Tony Bedwell disclosed, “It is hard to ex- plain the pain and anguish one goes through during a cross-country practice.” Junior David Studer add- ed, “It really took a lot of mental discipline with all the long miles and the hard repeats.” A young girls’ team was led by one senior, Brazilian exchange student Luciana Silva, and one junior, Yvonne Hookway. Hookway and Silva shared the spot- light as the team’s top two runners. According to Yvonne Hookway, “The practices were difficult, but they helped condition us for our races.” 102 X-Country Senior Andy Portinga rounds the turn into the home stretch during a race.

The basic goals for the teams were to nave fun and to learn the basic skills and funda- mentals of the game. Kelly Williams, boys’ soccer coach, added, “We also wanted to win at least three games in the sea- son.” They did, en route to compiling a 3-6-1 record. The girls’ team, however, had a record of 0-12. Dave Graveline, girls’ coach, commented, “We wanted to win a few games, but it wasn’t possi- ble. We just didn’t have the knowledge or experi- ence coming into the sea- son.” Both coaches felt the day-to-day improvement in skills and techniques of the players was phenom- enal. The soccer teams’ first year was a trial year, sup- ported by parents and community members who donated a total of 9,857 dollars for the equipment needed by the players. At the end of the first year, the Marshall School Board voted 4-2 to grant the var- sity soccer program a one- year extension. Board members felt there was enough interest and par- ticipation shown in the sport to continue the pro- gram. After the one-year extension, the school board will vote again to determine whether soccer will be a permanent varsi- ty sport at Marshall. Boys’ Soccer Front: Mike Grant. Don Kujawa. Bill Vavrina.

Both of these players were also members of the Channel 41 Team. In the Twin Val- ley, Scott Edinger was on the Second Team while Jim Clement made Honor- able Mention. Their peak was reached when the Redskins won the District Champion- ship against Albion. Matt Davis commented, “It was one of the greatest feelings in the world because only we (the team) knew how much work went into forming a winning team.” Scott Edinger added, “Strictly the amount of talent that we possessed enabled us to do so well.” Coach Duffey stated, “It was a record-setting per- formance.” The Redskins were knocked out in the first round of Regionals after a tough battle against Com- stock at the Kellogg Cen- ter Arena. Several records were shattered during the sea- son also. Jason DeVine had 203 assists in one season while Bruce Schroeder had 625 points. Bruce also broke the record for points per home game with 55 and career points with 1061. The season was very re- warding for the boys’ var- sity basketball team.

The team was very determined and showed this by working hard every day and over- coming a lot of obstacles. “This was by far one of my most determined teams that I have ever coached! They knew in most of the games we played that we were the undercfogs, but they never gave up. As a whole, the team performed above their abilities,” commented Coach Jerry Underhill. As the season progressed, the junior varsity team was able to advance in their skills and knowledge of bas- ketball. This progress helped theplayers to end the season witn a record of 7-13 overall and 4-10 in the Twin Valley Conference. The freshman team had many exciting games due to a combination of talented and hardworking players. “With a talented team we were able to make progress in our games against tough opponents. The team worked hard together and this helped us to do well in the Twin Valley and over- all,” stated fresnman Shane Patton.

Plus, the freshman team was undefeated. Freshman Carrie O’Dowd claimed, “Even though we didn’t have tremendous crowds, it was exciting to watch our team do so well.” The varsity cheerleading squad had the honor of com- peting against area Twin Val- ley squads at McCamly Place. Coach Martha Yonkers explained, “The girls had to design a cheer that incorpo- rated the sponsors McCamly and WKFR into it, along with a Hello and Spirit Cheer.” After a fine performance, the team received second place along with a check of $200. Lots of hard work also went into raising money to pay for the new uniforms. This was done by having 50 50 raffles which enabled the spectators to win half the cash pot of what was raised. Altogether, cheerleading was a thrilling and busy time for the girls, especially with cheering at Regionals. Se- nior Lisa Miller believed, “Cheerleading was fun and exciting, because it gave you a chance to be close to the fans and do something for the team.” Sophomore Gail Devenney added, “For me, cheerleading was a fantastic season full of fun times and good memories.” Sparking the spirit in the fans, the varsity cheerleading squad ends their cheer by sliding through one another’s legs.

As a result, they won many close meets and obtained a record of 4-8. “But.” admitted head coach John Hamlin, “the in- experience hurt us at the be- ginning of the season be- cause everything was so new to the first-year swim- mers and they didn’t know what to expect.” Marshall was led by tri- captains. seniors John Ruesch and Brian Zuehlke. and junior Nick Young. Ruesch and Zuehlke were consistently top scorers in the diving competition and also swam two individual events each meet for Mar- shall. These two. along with sophomore Kevin Gushiken, represented Marshall at state-level competition. Ruesch and Zuehlke placed 14th and 17th respectively in diving, while Kevin Gu- shiken placed 12th in the 100 yd. breaststroke. At the end-of-the-season banquet, two awards were given for the first time, the Rookie of the Year Award and the Coach’s Award.

It was an out- standing show for the squad to have players ranked this high. “Tony and Tom had tremendous mental and physical con- fidence to do so well. They both had excellent perfor- mances and accomplished a lot.” praised Coach Gil- bert. As for the team, they also had a winning season of 13-5. “We worked well as a team and therefore we were able to come out with some wins in the tough matches.” said ju- nior Eric LaFleur. This was seen as Marshall went on to win first place in the Springfield Tournament and take second in the Gull Lake Tournament. Leadership carried the wrestling team because the majority of the squad were seniors. “I would give the seniors a lot of credit because they were patient and helped with the freshmen. Everyone worked well together,” stated junior varsity coach Kelly Williams. Expectations were cut short, though, because in- juries caught up with the team. At the Twin Valley League Meet, the grapplers didn’t place very nigh as hoped. The banquet at the end of the season contained several winners. Tom Blandford was rewarded for Most Valuable and Fas- test Pin. Most Dedicated went to Todd Turner, while Most Improved was given to Kent Smock. Tony Bedwell received a special award called the Disci- pline Award from Coach Gary Gilbert for being such a hard-working play- er. The grapplers worked hard and had an altogeth- er victorious season to show for it. “It was a long, hard season, but it was worth it in the end,” ad- mitted senior Tony Char- meda.

Every Monday after school, at 3:15, members of the Ski- Club traveled to the Bit- tersweet Resort, where over ten beautiful slopes could be found. Approximately 30 peo- ple were involved with the Ski-Club with Mrs. Al- bright as the adviser.

For girls, teams alternated playing basketball and volleyball, while boys played just basketball. The girls’ teams includ- ed Sexy Seniors, Fuzzy Navels, Red Barons, and Extremities. The boys’ teams were Damage. Inc., The Devastation Contin- ues, Hoop Group, Wreck- ing Crew, and Disciples of Sonic Decapitation. The games were very rough because the guys went for blood. Damage, Inc. had an undefeated season (15-0) to win their league. Senior Lance Elyea commented, “An- other typical undefeated season for Damage. Inc.” The co-champions in the girls’ league were the Fuzzy Navels and the Red Barons. Altogether, Ski-Club and Intramurals were a physical, time-consuming activity to bring the stu- dent body some extra fun , to a boring Monday night. Damage, Inc.

While they were error prone early in the season, they improved with every game. “It really TEAM WIN helped the pitchers knowing that they had a good infield behind them,’’ commented Sean Hills. Aggressiveness and speed were another reason the Redskins were successful. The opposing catcher and team were in for a rough time if a 'Skin got on base. This competitive atmosphere helped the varsity baseball team to win their ball games. The Redskins played ex- ceptionally well on week- ends. They played in big tour- naments including Districts.

However, when the team was on top of our game nobody could beat us.” Hitting powered the Reds- kin team.

I feel that we played really good all season long.” By the end of the sea- son, the dedication to im- provement paid off, be- cause out of their last nine games, the JV softball team lost only one. Even when the going got rough, the players got tough and pulled together as a team to accomplish their goal of improvement. D. C. U Charlotte Hastings Lakeview H.

Carroll THROUGH THEIR EYES Ultimately, the perception of the year was determined by the people who attended school daily. These people were the students, teachers, food service, administra- tors, and custodians. Through their eyes, the school year posed a possible problem, especially with the teachers’ strike starting off the year. This problem meant that no one could perform his job. The students couldn’t learn; the teachers couldn’t teach; the food staff had no stu- dents to cook for; the halls were not in need of cleaning; the administrators had no one to administer. The final straw was when the students picketed the teachers to return to school. Finally, the strike was resolved and the school system, as well as an unsettled community, got back to normal. Things started to pick up when Mr. duBois was hired as the new assistant principal. Every- one had a job to do and it was because of these individ- ual efforts that ... IT ALL CAME THROUGH. 138 People Giving it all he’s got is junior Mike Faulkner as he lip syncs “Living in America.” This event attracted many students to the dance. —T.

Myers Exciting, fun filled, overwhelming, happy, sad, trying, grooling, such adjectives described a time in a certain group of students’ lives. These stu- dents were the seniors and the period they went through was their senior year. Being a senior brought on a great deal of feelings. Rick Doody commented, “To be a senior means one has worked hard and come a long way in life.” Many people felt mixed emotions about gradu- ation and what was wait- ing for them in the future. “1 can’t wait to graduate, but at the same time it’s sad because after high school, everyone will go their own way,” added Steve Day. Another aspect of what it means to be a senior dealt with one’s status in life. Brian Zuehlke stated, “Being a senior means that you are at the very top of the high school ladder, but being prepared to start at the bottom once again.” Throughout the year the seniors felt a vast ma- jority of feelings. A great deal of these emotions dealt with the excitement of graduation. Despite all of these mixed emotions that most seniors felt, they finished their senior year in high spirits. 140 Seniors Jennifer L. BickneJJ Thomas James Blanford Jon E.

Gary SENIOR EPIDEMIC Senioritis was exper- ienced by most seniors. Symptoms seemed to occur during the fourth and final quarter. In some classes, grades were dropped, classes were conveniently skipped, homework was usually not turned in at all or turned in incomplete, and study habits began to fade into nothing. One symptom of senioritis which was quite common, was not wanting to do one’s homework. Lisa Mumaw commented, “I don't feel like getting up in the morning and I definitely don't feel like doing my homework.” Lisa Miller added, “I have stopped worrying about get- ting my homework done and I don't care about school any more. Tina Vanderhorst stated, Homework seems useless.” Secondly, another com- mon symptom was not being able to stay awake in class. Todd Turner explained, “My first symptoms were when 1 was so tired I could barely stay awake in class, so I just decided to stay home in- stead.” A third symptom was when study habits “weren't what they use to be.” Dustin Dorton responded, You know you have senioritis when you can’t even stay home and study for more than a half hour a week. Although senioritis did strike many unfortunate students the senior class managed to complete the year successfully and reach the goals that they had set for themselves.

Delaney JUST THINK SPRING There were a lot of things to look forward to when the weather got warmer, especially when senioritis set in. One thing was spring break. Wheth- er one went to Florida, California or decided to stay home, spring break was always a memorable experience. Some people went down South, while some went out West. An- gie Stout commented, I went to Daytona and met a lot of different people.” Shane Gay and a few friends went out West. Shane explained, “Kristie McMillen, Yvonne Faurot and 1 went to California and had a great time.” Not everybody went away for spring break. Some were sick while oth- ers worked. Rob Viland cried, “I was stuck at home with the chicken pox.” Angie Bennett and Mike Carroll both stayed home to work. Angie com- mented. “I stayed home and worked at the Oak- lawn Life Improvement Center.” “I couldn’t go away because I had to work at Felpausch,” de- clared Mike. Cindy Rex- rode said she worked at Id at the Lakeview Square Mall all spring break. No matter where you worked, or what you did, the break was a welcomed time away from classes after a long winter. 144 Seniors Iason Hanna Diane Harrington Kurt Frederick Hayden Richard Allen Hays Edward Charles Hayes Angela Hensley Jeffery Joe Hiither Sean Kevin Hills Jamie Sue Holt Bobbie Jo Howard Scott Allen Hudspeth Diana Marie Hughes Amy Lyn Hurley Tammy Icard Toni A.

A friend was someone whom you trusted, some- one you told your secrets to and someone you com- municated with. A lot of friends had been friends for a long time. “Karla Vin- cent and I have been friends ever since elemen- tary school. Having a good friend like her means there is always someone who will unclerstand me or do something with me,” said Sara Donnelly. When you had a prob- lem who would you call? You would call a friend. A friend could give you his or her advice. “A best friend is a person who is always there for you to understand. That's why Tammie Icard and I are best friends. We’re always there for each other, stat- ed Nikki Brodock. Some friends were long distance friends who may live in different towns. “One of my good friends is Amy Timmer. She used to live here and we’ve al- ways kept in touch with each other,” commented Jenny Grzeskowiak. Some people have been friends ever since high school due to a sport or an activity. Others nad been friends because they have worked together. Overall, a friend is a person who is there for you. Cool attraction.

Myers BODY EXERCISE Many students found themselves in gyms, health spas, and aerobic classes trying to tone up their bodies, lose some weight or just exercise. “I believe that exercise is important especially to grow big and strong like me,” bragged Lance Elyea. Staying thin appeared to be a task especially when class night and graduation came up. With a body like this I don’t need any exercise. I get my exercise on Friday and Saturday nights,” said Gloria Murphy. Some students even keep fit by playing sports. “I like to go to Gordon school and play dunk bas- ketball on eight feet rims,” declared Jason Devine. 1 like to keep fit and in shape by playing basket- ball and baseball.” ex- plained Greg Bagi. Many students go to fit- ness centers to exercise. 1 go to Star Fitness and mostly work on chest and arm muscles,” stated James Stadfelt. “In addition to working at Oaklawn Life Improve- ment Center, I like to work out on the hydrolic weights,” declared Erika Winter. After spending years, weeks and days of hard work doing stretches, lifts and bends, it was a treat to indulge yourself in a deli- cious snack cake. 148 Seniors Kelly Lynn Morrow Craig Jonathan Mumaw Lisa Mumaw Gloria Michelle Murphy Jolyne Elizabeth Myers Wendy Lynne Nash Harold W.

VanWormer TIME AND DEDICATION Time was drawing nearer when seniors had to make a decision on what to do for the rest of their lives. Taking time out from everyday activ- ity was important for se- niors to decide what they were going to do. Making these decisions took hard work and dedication. A lot of students had to work hard at what they wanted to accomplish and achieve. Many students received scholarships and grants. Bruce Schroeder and Lisa Kimball received scholarships for their ath- letic ability. “1 worked hard for my scholarship to Sienna Uni- versity in New York. I played basketball every- day for one hour for prac- tice. 1 also play AAU (Amateur Athletic Union! in the summer,” stated Bruce. I tried my best at volley- ball and the coach at KCC called me up one day and asked me if 1 would like to play volleyball at KCC and I took the offer. I get first semester up to twelve credit hours paid for,” said Lisa. Tony Elms received a scholarship to MSU for his outstanding academic ability. He was picked among a number of stu- dents for a scholarship of $1,200 to use for four years. Mr. Wuori explains to Andrea Wheeler that it takes determi- nation to understand econom- ics. —J.

Myers Blue and red lights had flashed, hearts had pounded and palms begun to sweat as the police car came tailing on the bump- er. Slowly the car had pulled over with the driv- er directly in front of him. The policeman had come up to the window to see a license and a registration. “I got two tickets. One was for speeding on my scooter and the other one was for speeding in my car. I had a hard time with the cop be- cause I didn’t have my li- cense and he had to call me in,” explained Kevin Brownell. Not all people got tick- ets, but were warned. “They called my name in the office because I was parked the wrong way. They told me that I would get my car towed if I didn’t move it,” stated Amy Goodrich. One student had gotten a ticket on school grounds. “I got a ticket for having Steve Seybert in my car because he threw a snow- ball at a school bus and, he broke the window,” laughed Jeff Weers. Reactions to some tick- ets varied. Some students got out of a ticket fine. “I got my charges dropped because I was not guilty,” added Chris Mann. Most students hoped they would never get in that scary position again. 152 Seniors Taking a break to discuss past speeding tickets are James Davis and Jeff Weers. —J.

Each individual had their own way of beat- ing them. Many students enjoyed the lighter side of the weekend after a long week at school. They chose to spend it at home, not doing much of any- thing. I rest,” commented Kyle Brisson. To some students there was not much of a break from their school work and jobs. Quite a few stu- dents held after school and weekend jobs varying from farming to local mer- chant stock boys. “I don’t brag about my job, but I spend most of my week- ends ‘SACKIN’ at Fel- pausch,” quoted James Mestemaker. Still other students en- joyed their freedom on the weekends. Cruising, par- tying and going to the movies were very popular activities. When asked, Adam Wheeler replied. “1 party and go out with women.” “I spend most of my time with my boyfriend . . . that includes week- ends.” Lisa Crandall said. Like Lisa many people took advantage of their high school years both in the classroom and out on the weekends.

For some, getting a li- cense was more trouble than it was worth. “I have gotten into two accidents already. The worst one in- volved my dad’s two month old 1987 Pontiac Bonneville. The car was steaming and so was my dad,” stated Haven Holt. Throughout the long wait to finally get your li- cense students were taught a lot. There were many responsibilities that went along with getting a license. These were obey- ing the laws, respecting others’ rights, and taking care of your car. A good driver followed all of these rules and read the drivers’ training manual from cover to cover. But still others had their own conceptions of what prop- er driving was. Todd Rayner shed his opinion on the subject by saying. “When I’m on the road anything is fair game.” Others had different thoughts of their driving responsibilities, “Driving is a very big step up from riding my bike. I hope I can handle it.” added Shannan Schroeder.

As the years went by we grew out of our awkwardness all the way up to a dictatorial upperclass. The climb was a rocky but steady one. As a whole, there were some pretty memorable mo- ments the junior class shared. “B ... E ... A ... T Spartans Spartans. We cheered thinking we were so great,” quoted Laura Walters. There were some rough times, but nevertheless the class of 1989 pulled to- gether and did some won- derful things too. “Our sophomore window dis- play was great. I’ve never seen so many people work so hard to accomplish something together, as the night before the judging of the display,” exclaimed Tina Hughes. As much as every stu- dent wanted to graduate, the years at Marshall High School go very fast. The best of the years were to come. “1 want to graduate and check out college life, but leaving high school will be sad too,” added Mi- chelle Patton. “You get out of high school what you put into it,” disclosed Brian Burns.

Many of them felt they were neither under- classmen or upperclass- men but just “stuck in the middle.” “It’s kind of a rut to be in, but at least you can look forward to being a ju- nior, commented sopho- more Maggie LaPietra. “Being a sophomore is ok, but you’re just kind of stuck in the middle, with nothing happening,” re- marked sophomore Jenny Dye. “I don’t like being a sophomore because there’s nothing to look for- ward to. When you are a freshman you are excited to be part of MHS. When you are a junior you look forward to your senior year. When you are a se- nior it’s great because you can rule the school.

Some people felt that world cultures was a waste of time. “I don’t really like it. If it wasn’t required, I wouldn’t have taken it,” remarked soph- omore Corkie Willis. “It can get boring at times, but I can handle it,” stated sophomore, An- nette Ayala. In contrast, a lot of stu- dents were pleased with the class. “I think that it is a good experience for peo- ple who want to further their knowledge of other cultures of the world,” re- sponded sophomore, Joe Rewa. “I feel the new world cultures class adds an en- lightening experience that should be stressed more in the academic priorities,” commented sophomore, Hans Letzring. Although the feelings about the newly added world cultures class are varied, sophomores did learn many interesting facts about our changing nation and the world that surrounds it. With this knowledge they will be better prepared to meet this challenging world, ac- cording to Mrs. Abbie Al- bright.

But deciding on a purpose for attending was a question- able task. The idea most high schoolers got of col- lege was one of fun and partying, but there was also a more serious side ... their education. Many sophomores have stated that they would like to further their edu- cation past high school. When asked where they would like to go and what they would like to study, various responses were given: “I would love to go to Harvard and study law. But of course my grades chain me back, so I guess I’ll just go to some rinky- dink college and master my arts,” responded soph- omore Joe Costa. “I don’t know where I want to go, but I would like to study aviation, re- marked sophomore Katy Koyl. “1 don’t know where 1 want to go to school. I basi- cally just want to skate,” commented sophomore Gipp Klein. “KCC for two years and then MSU for two years. I don’t know exactly what 1 want to study,” explained sophomore Teresa Baase. Although college seemed so far away for a sophomore, many have al- ready begun making prep- arations. Preparing for a World Cultures test is sophomore Brett Hiatt. — J.

Take enter- tainment for instance. There were many things freshmen did for enter- tainment. Although some freshmen couldn’t drive this didn’t stop them from doing what they wanted to do. Many listened to music, went to movies, or just plain partied! When asked about their favorite music artist or group many freshmen gave their responses. “I like Deep Purple be- cause they can jam,” re- plied freshman Don Bai- ley. “I like David Bowie be- cause he’s not very popu- lar, and he has interesting lyrics. I like his new and old art,” said freshman Kristin Corra. “1 don’t have a favorite group. I like almost all of them,” commented fresh- man Martha Jones. ‘‘Poison or Whitesnake. They’re both hard rock and have a nice beat to them,” said freshman Chris Worden. “I like any thrashing metal group,” replied freshman Aaron Katz. ‘‘The Beatles because they are a classic just like Coca-Cola,” commented freshman Karen Devenney.

Many freshmen gave their predictions as to what they would be doing ten years from now. “I will be playing bas- ketball for the Harlem Globe Trotters and be- come a millionaire and re- tire at age twenty-five,” said freshman Don Kujawa. “I will be studying to be a pharmacist,” replied freshman Charity Yost. “I hope to have a mas- ters degree in a strong pay- ing field of naval avi- ation,” replied freshman Connie Madry. “Working as a computer Crogrammer and making ig money,” said freshman Becky Evans. “Hopefully I will be playing in the NBA as a first round draft pick and breaking all the old re- tired great one, Michael Jordan’s records,” com- mented freshman Shane Patton. “Working as a business coordinator, coordinating parties and get togethers, said freshman Zoe Rapp. Being a freshman is a starting point for predic- tions and a time to start thinking about the future.

There are new things freshmen experience. When asked about their first pep assembly many freshmen gave their re- sponses. “I loved it,” said fresh- man Karen Devenny. “I thought it was nerve racking having to be in flag corps in front of the whole school.” comment- ed freshman Kristin Corra. “I thought it was excit- ing with a lot of enthusi- asm and energy involved in it,” replied freshman Matthew Darling. “I thought it was fun and I actually felt like I be- longed,” said freshman Jenny Vettel. “It was cool and scary,” added freshman Don Bai- ley. “I thought you could have thought of a more relative wav to make noise,” stated freshman Lisa Haroff. “It was different and something new,” added freshman Chris Worden. “I thought it was differ- ent from anything I’d ever done before,” said fresh- man Steve Washburn. Although the freshman year was different, it was exciting and fun.

Sophomore Class Advisor Faculty and Administration Education key to success As we traveled through our formal education many of us did not fully appreciate the great sig- nificance learning had on our lives. We often did not think about the need to formulate and communi- cate our ideas if we were to be successful later in life. Education affected our lives in many ways. A high school education for some, prepared them for an even higher level of education in college. Mrs. Abigail Albright said, “Be- cause of my education, I am a life-long learner and I am always interested in many new things. All aspects of an educa- tion were important. Eng- lish, science, Spanish, and art classes equally were important depending on what the student was in- terested in. “I think in the future we will realize all classes need to work to- gether to produce an edu- cated and well-rounded child. I don’t think a cer- tain subject such as sci- ence or English is more important than another but instead all classes are equally important,” com- mented John Walton. Edu- cation helped us to cope with life’s ups and downs. It helped us to determine right from wrong and will help us forever. Ms. Kendra Magnus. Latin. English. Latin Club.

A group effort of members of the community is easily seen throughout the town. —J. Carroll Soon to become a “Burger King town,” construc- tion workers continue building on Michigan Ave. off of 1-69. Patiently waiting to order, Dawn Ham- mond dreams about a Whopper. —L. Hartman Through the town Due to construction work on Interstate 94, detour signs were commonplace around town. These detours brought many people from out of town through down- town Marshall. It was easy to recognize how heavily students relied on the community for jobs, recreation, and support. From students grabbing a bite to eat at area restaurants, to students sweeping the sidewalks in front of businesses . . . teenagers were everywhere. In the fall area businesses showed their pride in the varsity football players by displaying their jersey num- bers in the shop windows. During the winter months, parents, relatives, and other members of the community came to basketball games to cheer on the team. In the spring, the French club and the Spanish club manned the water stops during the Bar Scheeze Run. And so, to tne passer-by it was a united effort from the community to let our Redskin spirit shine throughout the town. 176 Community An unfortunate accident caused the Mole Hole fire this fall, but, thanks to Sullivan Construc- tion, Matt Ramon will soon be able to do his gift shopping again. —D.

So you called your friends and said, “I’ll meet you downtown.” You then borrowed your parents’ Cadillac and headed for Main Street. When you got there, hundreds of cars and trucks were inching slowly along Michigan Avenue. You turned up your radio, rolled down the windows, and you were cruising too. Junior Shari Hartung exclaimed, “I like to cruise because you can meet new people, see your friends, show off your car, and be seen.” Many makes and models could be seen during cruising hours from a rusty “beater” truck to a black Trans-Am. Senior Heather Cook drove, “My mom’s grocery getter because I didn’t have a car!” Junior Doug Gentry proclaimed, “I drove a Vette!” (Chevette that is.) English teacher Mr. John Ickes remarked quietly, “I cruised every weekend in my cherry red Z-24 Cavalier with yellow flames, because a car like mine was meant to cruise.” Taking a break from “cruising , senior exchange student Jackie Bastista and senior Mike Lampert share a joke. Mike chuckled. Even though it was cold out, I still like to cruise because my '67 Ford Fairmont is HOT. It always keeps me warm.” — S.

Out- fits created with long skirts, Reeboks, jean jack- ets, and snakeskin accessories were definitely the things to wear. “I like to wear fun shoes, short skirts, and Guess jeans,” exclaimed Jolyne Myers, senior. Although you could wear almost anything, certain styles were extremely out of date. Bell- bottoms. polyester, and highwaters along with pinstripe jeans, big collars, and neons were con- sidered unfashionable. Students gathered their ideas from many sources in school. Junior Sheila Morrison re- marked, I find my ideas for clothes from cata- logs and students in school.” Junior Chris Lind- sey admitted, “I wear whatever is in my closet.” Junior Heather Belcher commented, “I get my ideas from things I see in stores.” So fashion was there; you just had to make it happen.

Many ideas were suggested to prevent bore- dom or falling asleep. Todd Rayner chuck- led, “Pull up to the window backwards so that you can count the people lining up be- hind you without straining your neck.” Se- nior Karen Dean suggested walking through the drive-thru to avoid the rush hour. “My friends and I decided it would be faster to walk through than to wait inside.” Junior Doug Gentry had an interesting idea, “Give your car an oil change and a tune-up.” Se- nior Ken Letts also had car trouble. “A tire on my truck went flat, so I jacked up my truck, took it off, rolled it down to Walters, and had it patched. 1 got back in time to receive my Quarter Pounder.” Because of the quick convenience, drive-thru windows are preferred by most students, including junior Daniell Zander. “Whent'm in a hurry, it's easier to )ust drive thru and it is faster too. —M.

Smack! You hear the sound of someone biting into a cheesy, crunch pizza and you wish you had one too. Students love it. They go out for pizza after school, at night, and most anytime of the day. Cold or hot it doesn’t seem to matter to a few students. “I like cold pizza because it is easy and you don’t have to neat it up,” Nikki West sophomore, stated. Even Mr. duBois, our assistant principal, loves it. “I like Haufman House because of the good crusts, and plenty of cheese:” Some prefer pan pizza. “I get my pizza at Pizza Hut because of the deep dish pan pizza,” commented Sherry Gillaan, freshmen. “Pizza Hut’s deep dish pan pizza has delicious toppings with a buttery, crunch crust,” added senior, Travis Glenn. Others go for the spice and taste. Barb Stone, junior, chucked, “I get my pizza at school be- cause of the hot, spicy taste.” Pizza lovers, juniors Jenny Madry and Deb Fhaner, anxiously wait for some hot-n-spicy pizza. The local Pizza Hut Restau- rant is one of the favorites of the students. —L. Hartman TOWNE AND COUNTRY SHOPPE Phone 781-2511 51 VV. Mich.

The sounds coming from in front of the television weren’t just from eight or nine year olds; high schoolers were laughing it up too. It was sometimes thought that cartoons were only meant for youngsters, but a surprising num- ber of high school students watched car- toons in their spare time. Junior Min John- ston said, “I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks every Saturday.” Freshman Barry Vavrina was also a faithful follower. “I watch Smurfs every Saturday,” he chuckled. Freshman Michelle Ulman also watched the Smurfs on Saturday mornings. ‘‘They’re cute, funny and adventurous,” she laughed. There were a variety of cartoons that were popular among students. Junior Flo Bennet remarked, “I love Woody Woodpecker be- cause of his laugh.” Cartoons were a great way to relax and unwind. I personally love Donald Duck.” disclosed Jenny Jendryka, freshman. Relaxing in front of the television, junior Tarolee Thurston laughs with enjoyment. “Watching cartoons is a great form of relaxation and it also wastes time on Saturday morn- ings. stated Tarolee. —L. Hartman Communily 207 People worked for various reasons. The main reason being, they needed the money. Nicki Brodock, senior, commented. “I work at Felpausch because I need money to spend, and besides that, there are so many fun people who work there.” Most people worked to pay for a number of different items, Angela Hensley, senior, stated, “I work at Big Boy so I can pay for my car.” Junior Dan Kruger agreed, “Working at Mc- Donalds provides me with the cash to go out and do things and to pay for my car.” However, not everyone worked for the money. Junior Heidi Weiderman stated, “I love to carry-out groceries in the rain and snow.” Jayne Wilson, senior, had similar reasons. “I work at Myers because the people are fun and I enjoy the public.” Working gave students a chance to do the things they loved the most. Working doesn’t always mean just business. People like Mr. Brian Burns know how to mix business and pleasure. Helping Mr. Burns prepare for Class Night, Tyson Strand, junior, shares in all the excitement. —T.

Alvin Lautenheiser said, “It costs $8,010.50 for me to come to school; $8,000 for my truck, one dollar and fifty-one cents for my chew, and eight dollars and ninety-nine cents for my An- thrax tape. Juniors Lynda Mitchell and Benet Walsh found it necessary to bring thirty cents every day. “We went to Louies’ before school to get doughnuts for breakfast,” commented Lynda. Freshman Becky Gillen remarked, “I always brought five dollars so Shari and I could eat lunch at McDonalds.” I had to bring money because Shari never has any, and we hate school food. Junior Dan Kruger chuckled, “You need five dollars to buy a three ring binder that you absolutely have to have for Mr. Ickes’ class.” Although the education was free, the “ne- cessities” weren't. Another necessity was a S200 dress that you wear only once to the J-Hop. added Ellen Bernath. junior. Ellen and her date, Mike Grafton, made the most of the expensive dress and also went to dinner at a formal restaurant before the prom. — S.

Without the custodians working throughout the summer and school year, this would not be possible. Glenn Barlow remarked, “I find the best part of working is having the students around, otherwise it would be a boring job. They keep me young.” Custodians were the ones who swept se- nior hall during the seniors’ last day when they went into a frenzy of “locker cleaning,” which included emptying four years worth of junk onto the floor. Our janitors were also responsible for washing chalkboards, cleaning out lockers, sweeping floors, cleaning windows and other jobs that kept our school looking new. “I like to work here because the kids are great and do not create problems for us,” commented Kent Gregs. Night shift custodian Wayne Leach cleans up many messes created by the journalism department. As a thank-you to him, the journalism staffs name Wayne as the recipient of the Golden Broom Award. —A.

Oliver North was a key official in the Iran-Contra hearings. North became somewhat of a celebrity during the hearings. 214 Time Line Throughout The World Throughout the world as well as at Marshall High School, a variety of events occurred which demanded immediate action. One of the most important world events occurred twice. President Reagan met with Mikhail Gorbachev in Washington D.C. and in Moscow. The main topic of discussion was the treaty of banning medium range launching pads, which was ratified at their second summit. They felt that if the two super powers made a stand on the issue, other countries would follow. Time magazine named Gorbachev their “Man of the Year.” On October 19. the Dow Jones dropped 508 points, the biggest drop since 1929. Officials closed the stock exchange to prevent a major financial catastrophe. Such a decision pre- vented what happened in 1929. Eventually, the Dow Jones recovered. Vice President George Bush, after several months of campaigning, earned the Republi- can party nomination with minimal difficulty. On the other hand, the Democratic party was divided between Governor Michael Dukakis and Rev. Jesse Jackson. Although Dukakis car- ried the most delegates. Jackson decided to continue campaigning until the final nomina- tion in the summer. A great deal of hard work and dedication paid off for many celebrities. Topping the charts were Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. Houston had seven number one hit singles in a row. Such an accompliment was the first for a woman. Jackson's long awaited Bad album sold millions the first day of re- lease. As always, movies attracted a lot of atten- tion. One movie which did just that was Fatal Attraction starring Glenn Close and Michael Douglas. Fatal Attraction dealt with the con- troversy of casual sex and the consequences. A favorite among teens and pre-teens was Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray. Earning higher recognition was Cher. She received the Best Actress Oscar for her work in Moon-struck. The Last Emperor received nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Unfortunately, along with such accomplish- ments the entertainment world lost several outstanding entertainers. A few of the more famous entertainers who died were dancer Fred Astaire, director John Houston, actors Lee Marvin and Lome Greene, comedian Jack- ie Gleason, and pop artist Andy Warhol. They left behind a void that will never be filled. In the course of the year a multitude of events occurred which presented obstacles. In many cases the obstacles were overcome, but in others they were dealt with appropriately. In the end. it all came through. The Dow Jones industrial stock average dropped 508 points on Monday. October 19. Some called it a crash. others a “Black Monday. President and Mrs. Rea- gan greeted Pope John Paul II when he arrived in Miami.

Index 219 seniors say a final AREWELL No one knew where the time went, but it certainly flew by fast for the senior class. When the year began, the seniors were having doubts about ever getting out of school because of the delay. Such doubts soon turned to a mixture of different emo- tions. These were feelings of excitement as well as sadness. Many of them had been waiting to graduate for so long that they couldn’t believe it was becoming a reality. Others wanted to graduate, but they also felt sad knowing that they would be leav- ing friends behind as well as many high school activities. Although these emotions clouded their joy, they let go of their doubts and It All Came Through.

Many freshmen worried about getting lost and losing their locker combinations. The sophomores were glad not to be freshmen, but were unsure of their role. The juniors were excited that next year they would be seniors. Though at times many seniors felt like they would not make it to the end, they did succeed. The senior class grew up a lot in the last four years. They matured not only phys- ically but mentally as well. Though the year may have been long for some and too short for others ...
