Keeping fit while having fun What did music, teachers, and leotards have in common? They were the three elements needed to get a young aspiring club set for a great year. The Aerobics and Dance Club consisted of five dedicated members: Mrs. Sue Barry, Mrs. Sara Boyer, Ms. Kathy Dom- brink, Mrs. Marla McVey, and Mrs. Mary Pitliangus. Most teachers were well on their way home by three o'clock, but ev- ery Tuesday and Thursday after school, these five women were beginning their workouts. Last year, the idea of an aerobics club came from Mrs. Jeanne Roman and her interest in good health and physical fit- ness. After last year’s success with the club, they decided to keep the program John Beyers Il Scott Biberdorf 10 Rosalie Billadeau 9 Kim Bimes Il Terri Bimes 10 Cathy Bimschleger 9 Karen Bindbeutel Il Pam Birmingham II Kelly Bittick Il Darryl Blair 9 Vickie Blair Il Mike Block 9 Becky Bockstruck I0 Douglas Boehm 9 Mark Boehm IO Karen Bogan lO Barrey Bohanan Il Ellen Bohanan Il Linda Bohn 10 Richard Bois 9- Jennifer Bolla 10 Ellen Bonkoski II Annie Borch Il Steve Borth Il Adam Boschen IO Bob Bossomo |0 Tony Bove 9 Heidi Bove 10 Julie Bowie 10 Melissa Bowie 9 Kelly Boyd 9 John Boyle II Tony Bozzi Il Lashann Bradford 9 Alicia Bradley 10 Susan Branstetter 10 Scott Branton 9 Dawn Bray Il Pauline Bray 10 Erica Bremerkamp II 94 Underclass going. The group originally started as merely a work-out sess ion, but ended up as fun and fitness combined. Dancing to such tunes as “I’d like to Teach the World to Sing” and “Make a Move on Me”, the group leaped, lunged, and hopped their way to good health. “We also listened to Barry Manilow and the American Top Forty,” said Ms. Dom- brink. Each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, without fail, the club did their stuff. Any- one passing by the foreign language de- partment after school could hear the up- beat music, and by peeking through the window, five leotard-clad teachers could be seen boogying down. ‘Actually, we’re all frustrated dancers,” said Mrs. Roman.

Ossip and rumors What did The National Enquirer, lan- guage, and “‘Joe’s girlfriend” all have in common? Gossip! This favorite pastime was started long ago and is still going strong. Someone or something was always the object of con- versation, but, as Wendy Hamilton, sen- ior, said “It’s funny only until it’s about yourself.” Students passed time by telling the juicy tales of the day. Judy Thompson, senior, said, “You can find out who likes who, what’s going on over the weekend, and other things like that.’”’ Who could ask for more? Roy Booze, senior, would. He said gossip is ‘when people go around sayin’ hear- say about things.” “And even if people aren't sure about something, they'll spread rumors so they can fit in with a crowd, start a fight, or get friends to Brian Burton Il Karen Burton Il Tonia Busse IO Bob Butts Il Suzanne Cadamey Il : Pat Cahalin 10 Laura Caldwell 10 yoo s ¥ Tom Cambron 10 Chris Campbell 9 Theresa Campbell 10 Jennie Canterbery 10 Dave Canupp Il Dianna Capps Il Keesha Carey Il Kathy Carlson 10 Cathy Carmichael 9 Bob Carpenter 10 Cheryl Carr 10 Dana Carrol 9 Don Carter 10 Michele Carter 9 Julie Casals 9 Kimberly Castello 10 Jack Causey Il Kevin Causey 10 Brett Chambers II Sherri Chandler 10 Laya Chappel 9 Byron Chastian 10 Sonja Cherry 9 Laurie Christan 10 Dave Christensen IO Gary Christensen Il Connie Christian 10 Tony Christian 9 gang up on or dislike somebody, said Ka- ren Cook, senior. Tracey Wachter, sen- ior, said “gossip is one thing — rumors is another!” Latanya Griffin, senior, said, “Rumors just make you look big to other persons, but then it gets back to you later.” Anywhere large groups of people gather, friends and strangers tried to “cut the ice” with a witty phrase, which was most commonly refered to as the latest gossip. Teachers may not have thought it was so harmless, especially if you were sustain- ing a muffled drone in the ba ck of the class while they were speaking. Students at MN often made every moment “social hour”’. Many students felt the same. Mary Ah- lert, senior, said “I like gossip to a certain extent, everyone does. It makes school less boring!” But not in class. sore Covering her mouth to hide her words from others Erica Bremerkamp, junior, tells Carol Hoolan a se- cret. 96 Underclass
