Among these changes were a new daily schedule, which in- cluded an earlier dismissal. To ac- count for the forty-five minutes that were lost, homeroom and activity pe- riod were eliminated. When the 8:12 bell rang, students reported directly to their first period class, where atten- dance was taken. Club days were in- troduced to take the place of the lost activity period. All the clubs were di- vided into Group A and Group B. Club days were held twice a month on The drivers' education car survives another summer of practice driving. The first day of school is over before you know it! designated days. The club day schedule operated a little differently than the normal schedule. Students still reported to their first period class for attendance, but in order to accumulate the forty- five minutes needed for each club to meet, periods one through five were each shortened by ten minutes. The students who were not involved in a particular club on that day were as- signed to a room and were given an activity period to catch up on their homework. These balloons begin a journey with an unknown destiny. Even though the student body was dismissed at 2:45, the faculty re- mained until 3:30. This time gave stu- dents the opportunity to stick around school a while longer to receive help with any problems they might have encountered while doing their home- work. When the new year began, stu- dents and faculty shared many anxi- eties about the new schedule. But as the year progressed, both groups be- came more familiar with the changes. 3 Small Class Exhibits Many Aspects When you talk to most adults to- day, one gets the impression that all teenagers are basically the same. Teenagers tend to dress the same, lis- ten to the same kind of music, and participate in the same kinds of ac- tivities. But close observation re- vealed that this was where the simi- larities ended. The McConnellsburg High School class of 1983 was A TOUCH DIFFERENT. The senior class, consisting of sev- enty-two members, was a little small- er than the average graduating classes of the past. Rarely could one find such an array of personalities in such a small class. They received a welcomed addition in the form of Elke Schumacher, a foreign exchange student from Hamburg. Germany. The seniors lost certain privileges, in- cluding being able to go to lunch five minutes earlier than their underclass- men. A new acquaintance introduces himself to Carmen Headley. 4 Although the seniors were a small class, they more than made up for it in the way that they enjoyed life. As a whole, they loved to have a good time and joke with each other. Just as the seniors knew how to have a good time, they also knew when the fun stopped and the work began. They were a class that disproved the theory that all teenagers arc the same. Fulfilling her secret ambition.

This is the sound of a video-maniac biting the dust. A true video addict, however, would never give up. He would simply pull out an- other quarter and try again, knowing he will someday get to kill that last alien. The computer revolution has brought about a new form of enter- tainment, and it's sweeping the na- tion. With two new arcades in McConnellsburg. it has reached Ful- ton County and the students of McConnellsburg High School. Left: Tim Walker tries his hand at one of the new home video games. Some students think video games waste their money, and others think of them as a fairly cheap form of en- tertainment. Several students were asked what they thought on the mat- ter and they gave the following an- swers: “I think they’re fun. They’re worth the quarter. “I have better things to do with my money. A quarter once in a while doesn't hurt, but after a w hile, it adds up. Students no longer need to spend a quarter per game at the arcade. For under SI50, they can buy one of the many home video games on the mar- ket. Unfortunately for fathers, these games usually require a TV. A father can not watch a football game while his child is playing the video game. Evidently, some students think vid- eo games are worth the quarter per game in the arcade. If you don’t be- lieve this, go to any arcade on a Fri- day night. Many others think it is also worthwhile to pay for their ow n home game, if you are in doubt of this, check your neighbors’ houses. 9 The Fashion Wave Hits MHS 10 Fer shur, the Valley Girl craze hits as shown by Bonita Baughman and Tonya Sheffield. Although the students of M HS did not exactly become slaves to fashion in the past year, they did become a little more aware of the world of high fashion. The girls especially began to in- dulge in the new, if not unusual fash- ions. Some of these included designer jeans, baggies, a variety of different tops, and several new styles of shoes. Probably the most peculiar of these was the return of the previous outdat- ed mini-skirts. All these fashions came in the widest variety of colors and designs. On the other hand, there were few changes in the boys style of dress. Boys could now be seen wear- ing designer jeans and baggies. Whether you were at Sach's, Bloomingdales. or MHS, no one re- mained untouched by the new and un- usual styles of the high fashion world. II A Touch Of Germany With Us, Elke ... I'd like to say thank you to the McConnellsburg High School with all its teachers and students, who had to do with me somehow. I really en- joyed this past year “over here in your school. I think I learned a lot, not just about American history or American literature, but also about American And yet another question for Mr Duffcy! Elke helps Leslie Kendall with organ lessons. Elke! I only want a picture 12 people and their surroundings. I wanted to experience all these things. And I probably saw all these, plus some. In the beginning, it was a big change over. But one got used to things pretty quick, even all the homework! You see, my school sys- tem is quite different, but each school had its advantages and disadvan- tages. I can't and won’t say which is better because there arc two sides to everything. But, unlike in Germany, I never went to school here with reluc- tance. Also, a lot of my unfavorite subjects in Germany, changed to my favorites here. But, there were other things out- side of school. My visit to Juniata College, a weekend in New York City, a visit to Washington D C., and making apple butter were all nice ex- periences. Sports, such as basketball and track, were among other things I liked. The only thing I can say that I hated the most was saying goodbye. Prom night is traditionaly a magi- cal night when everthing sweet and wonderful, like flowers, dancing, and romance seems to come together. Ac- tually there is much more to it all than meets the eye. Many months be- fore the prom, the class of ’83 found Prnm Micrhf themselvesfacingthetaskoforganiz- 1 vFMJLM ing a prom with what one might call a 14 very limited budget. After a lot of penny penciling, care- ful planning, and many hours of time, the class was ready to begin. Yes. be- gin. They were now ready to put in a lot more work doing the actual deco- rating. With suprisingly good cooper- ation, the class went through the or- dering of decorations, hiring a band (the Parker Bandy band), and choos- ing a theme (love the world away). Then with that same cooperation they started decorating for their long awaited prom. Finally it was time for the magical and romantic part of the prom. The class could finally realize the reward for all their effort and hard work. And what a reward it was. The satisfaction of planning and putting on a beautiful and sucessful prom. Even more satis- fying was the fact that they knew they had done so without nearly as much money as had other classes, but by cooperating a little better, got the same result, just a touch differently.

Leading scorers were Nicki Morgan and Kim Spriggs. Brenda Martin and Cindy Plessinger led the team in rebounding. Complet- ing the starting line-up was all-round player Lori Snyder. The mighty Spartans conquered the Forbes Road High School twice and won the Cove League Championship with a 6-0 re- cord. At the end of the regular season the Spartans were ranked second in District V behind first place Southern Fulton. A long jump shot from the corner.

The team, coached by Mrs. Kendall, consisted of nine freshmen and one senior, which was Elkc Schu- macher. The team worked on the ba- sic fundamentals and used them dur- ing the game.

Losing the first half championship by one goal wasn't the end of everything. Led by ten seniors the Spartans went on to win the District V title for the third straight year. This win sent them to the state playoffs. McCon- nellsburg faced the defending state champions. Mount Lebanon, in the first round and lost by one goal once more. The Spartans posted a winning, 18-3-3 record for the season. Led by the area's leading scorer, with 31 goals, Brian Davis helped the Controlling the ball.

Defensively the Spartans were almost indomitable, they recorded 11 shutouts and held their opponent to only one goal six different times. The defense only allowed 25 goals to be scored throughout the season. The recognition of the Spartans didn’t stay in McConnellsburg. The Spartans had four players named to the Blue-Mountain League all-stars. They were Kevin Kendall. Brian Da- vis, Rick Marshall, and Tommie Souders. Kendall and Davis each scored a goal, aiding the BML all- stars to a tie with York County all- stars. The Public Opinion also select- ed all-stars, and seven Spartans were chosen.

The soccer team claimed the district championship while the girls' basket- ball team lost the district crown by a heartbreaking 5 points. After posting a winning regular season record, the Spartan booters took the District V crown with easy victories over Salisbury and Hynd- man. Moving to the state tournament, the Spartans surprised powerful Mt. Lebanon with a strong effort before falling. 3-4. The girls fought their way through Turkeyfoot and Meycrsdalc and into the championship game with Rock- wood. Leading most of the way. the Spartans fell short at the end by a 57- 62 score. Wailing three months for the state playoffs proved to be too much as the girls were overwhelmed by a powerful Bishop Carroll team 43-97 at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. 25 JV Basketball Soccer TOP JV Basketball team Front: Tim Fowler.

They give new players the chance to learn skills and gain the experience they need in Varsity games. The good thing is that they do this through their own competitive games. The JV basketball team had a fair season this year. They ended it with a record of twelve wins and sixteen losses. They gained a lot of valuable experience for next year. Many of the players will move up to Varsity. The JV soccer team ended their season this year with a record of nine wins, three losses, and two ties. One of the unusual events this year was to find girls playing on the Waynesboro team. After the intial shock, the boys returned to their usual game and de- feated the Indians.

These were the accomplishments of the Varsity boys basketball team. Easy early season wins failed to convince many people of just how good the Spartans were, but a 62-45 thrashing of perennial powerhouse MHS OPP 63 Grccncastlc 55 79 N.

Everyone wanted to gun down the Spartans. But when the final game was history, the Spartans were cutting down the nets at Han- cock High School and an undefeated season had been recorded. It was a team effort with both Bri- an Davis and David Thomas breaking the career 1000 point barrier and teammates Tommy Souders, Jeff Garber, and Barry Spriggs coming through with big games several times during the season to preserve the per- fect record. Both the MORNING HERALD and the PUBLIC OPINION named David and Thomas to their area all- star squads, and Mr. Sowers was named Coach of the Year by both papers. Front Kenny Welsh. Matt Cover.

In the opening round district game the Spartans used an explosive second half to put away Shade by a score of 73-50. Berlin, the opponent in the dis- trict semifinals proved to be a tougher opponent, but VIHS held on for a 50- 48 win. This win set a dream District V championship game between two undefeated teams — The Spartans and Somerset County powerhouse Conemaugh Township. Township proved to be too much for the Spar- tans and they fell for the first time, 60-77. With the undefeated string ended and the pressure off, the Spartans moved on to the University of Pitts- burgh at Johnstown for an opening round state playoff game against Dis- trict VI champs. Bishop McCort. Powerhouse McCort came into the contest cocky and confident, but the Spartans played a flawless game and shocked the Crushers, 70-50. On to Clarion State College and the second round of the state playoffs with Karns City as the opponents. The Spartans were one of the final 16 teams in the state. Down by only 2 points at the intermission, a flat sec- ond half spelled defeat. The final score was 53-73 and the long and suc- cessful season came to an end. The final record of 28 wins, 2 losses was the best ever posted by an MHS team.

The basketball superstars of tomorrow begin their high school ca- reer here. The boys at this young age learn basic skills, sportsmanship, and get their first experience in interscho- lastic competition. Who knows? Perhaps in a very short time the small 4 foot kid of to- day may be the 6 foot varsity star of tomorrow. Working hard to get two points. Above Right — 8th Grade Team. Front Brent Culler.

Sherri Kelso has a coke and a smile CHEERLEADING . . Is Serious Business Cheerleading is a sport which has often been overlooked or taken for granted at MHS. The cheerleaders were dedicated people. Their season extended from early July through late February. They, like other athletes had to maintain good grades. The cheerleaders also functioned under a point system which stressed behavior and appearance. 34 Varsity Squad: Sherri Kelso, Lana Kcrlin, Lisa Clevenger, Jamie Sickles. Barbie Sharpe. Shawnee Shives Besides the physical work, the abil- ity to work together was one of the most important tasks of the cheer- leading squad. The squads for the 1982-83 season surpassed these goals and completed the season as a sharp, smiling, and spirited squad. Mrs. JanisCutchall and Mrs. Tina Washa- baugh were the Advisors. 35 Boys Undefeated In Duals, Second In Placing the highest a Fulton Coun- ty team has ever placed in state com- petition in any sport, the MHS boys' track team took a second place trophy at the PI AA state championships and came within a whisker of taking all the marbles. That was the cap to what can only be described as a stellar season. Led all year by record perfor- mances by seniors Barry Spriggs, Dave Thomas. Shawn DeShong, and Tommie Souders and aided by strong underclassmen efforts, the team breezed through an undefeated dual meet schedule. They defeated 43 AA schools to take first place in the Ship- pensburg Invitational, easily won the Bellwood Invitational, and placed a strong 4th at Dickenson behind AAA powers State College, York, and Har- risburg. The Spartans easily outdistanced county rival Southern Fulton to win the district championship for the third straight year. The state meet, with 9,000 specta- tors looking on. was the climax. Lead- ing the field of AA schools all day, a third place finish by Greenwood in the day’s final event cost the Spartans a state championship by just 1 points. Barry Spriggs led the team by taking first in the 400m. third in the 100m, and anchoring the 400m relay team with Tommie Souders. David Thomas, and Darren Robinson to a photo finish second place. Robinson added a 4th in the 200m, Souders a 3rd in the javelin, and Thomas a 6th in the high jump to round out the Spartan scoring. A few inches in any of four events could have meant the state championship for the Spartan boys, but the second place finish was still a gratifying end to a sparkling year for the entire team.

Only two meets had to be cancelled due to cold weath- er, and the sun shone on an undefeat- ed season. With only about a half dozen mem- bers returning from the '82 team, un- derclassmen were given the opportu- nity to display their ability. They helped the team post their third straight undefeated season, rolling through eight dual meets, several in- vitationals, and the District meet. On April 16 the girls hosted and took first place in the fifth annual MHS Girls' Invitational out of a field of 24 schools. The most valuable run- ner award went to Kim Spriggs who won both the 100m and 300m hurdle events. On May 2 the Spartans won the Bellwood-Antis Invitational. They finished on top out of a field of eleven schools with 116 points. Pitted against AAA schools like State Col- lege and Carlisle at the Dickenson In- vitational, the team took home a re- spectable fifth place. The list of accomplishments goes on. For the third consecutive year the MHS girls won the District 5 Cham- pionship. The team's performance was outstanding as they finished sixty- seven points ahead of second place Tussey Mountain. Then at the Penn- sylvania State Championships the ac- complishments continued as Kim Spriggs took a gold medal in the 100m hurdles (setting a new state re- cord time), a silver medal in the 300m hurdles, and the 400m relay team gained third place.

The Spartan nine swept all county games and qualified for the District 5-AA playoffs en route to a 11-6-1 season. A young pitching staff led by Scott Grissingcr. Bobby Morgan, and Cory Gress and solid hitting led by Jeff Garber. Jeff Shearer, and Brian Da- vis spelled success for the Spartans. Shortstop Garber was named the area's best player by the PUBLIC OPINION leading the Franklin-Ful- ton County area with a .519 regular season batting average. He led the team in hits, home runs, and RBI's. Shearer led the team in doubles and was second in home runs while put- ting in an excellent defensive effort at first base. The team was loaded with underclassmen who surprised many fans with good efforts. The “rebuilding” year could be termed a success. Top — Walking off the Held after pitching a fine game.

That's a lot of money, but if your planning on buying a Ra- dio Shack TRS-80 home computer, you’re going to pay at least this much. Mrs. Cover, teacher of the Computer Programming Class, just purchased five new computers for over S6.000! That seems like a lot of money for “a bunch of nuts and bolts,” which is exactly what a computer would be if it didn't have the tiny chips that can remember how to do practically an- ything. Yes, anything! These comput- ers can do anything from adding “1 + 1” to beating you in blackjack. The computer's use a language called BASIC, which can be loaded by a “floppy disk or a cassette. This language is fairly easy to learn, com- pared to some of the others like FOR- Top Danny Na elrod wails for the results of a program he just typed.

Most of the students can play games on the computers, however, an increasing number progressed a step further and learned everything they possibly could. The class was an elec- tive, which kept the number of stu- dents fairly low. but the class will grow. Students who are planning on taking it should have a good knowl- edge of Algebra and knowing how to type helps. One thing that most people in the community liked, is that a “night class was started. The “night class was for people who didn't get to take the class in school, but still wanted a knowledge of the computer. Students who think they want a job that has anything to do with comput- ers should take this class; for the sim- ple reason that, computers ARE the future. 45 Kevin Brady knows that smoothness is perfection. What’s Going On In The Shop? Many of us have wondered, at some time or another, just what was going on in the shop. Often we heard a car engine rev or a loud wood saw blade find it's way through a piece of lum- ber, but just who were the people be- hind those noises? The answer, the vocational students. The sr. high students curriculum was either ag-mechanics or ag-pro- 46 Mark Peck builds a masterpiece. 1 Jeff Mellon and Mark Plcssinger work together on an engine repair. Students check work plans with Mr. Hipkiss. duction, and a general practical arts course was offered for grades seven, eight, and nine. No matter w hat class, there was one evident factor: learning came through the use of ones hands. Students, whether they fixed a loose spark plug, sawed wood, or planted seeds, all learned basic skills that could be used at jobs later. The voca- tional classes usually didn't take notes from a blackboard instead, they learned from first hand experience. So the next time you should hear queer noises coming from the shop, just remember that behind them arc some bright students learning the skills that they will benefit from for a long time to come. A LEARNING EXPERI- ENCE Chemistry, according to Daniel Webster, is the “science that deals with the compositions, structures, and properties of substances and the changes they undergo. One of the best ways students found to study this science was to get first hand informa- tion by taking part in expericments. Students followed instructions in their lab books and went to work to find a result. This was probably the most exciting part, because the result could have been anything from a small fizzle to a massive explosion. Experiments, over all. were a way to sec just what reacted with what and what new substances could be formed. Though the chemistry lab was no place for frolic play, it was the place for an enjoyable learning exper- ience. 48 49 THE PA. AND LOCAL HISTORY CLASS Local history, as it was called by the students, was a course that stud- ied the history of McConnellsburg, Fulton County, and Pennsylvania. The MHS local history class of 1983 was a unique one. Aside from the class room work there were plenty out of school activi- ties. The students explored old grave- yards and decorated the Fulton House for Christmas. They made all the decorations for the tree. The class also took their annual trip to Old Bed- ford Village at Christmas. But, the biggest project was their float in the Old Timers Parade. This project took weeks to be completed and was awarded as the first prize float. These things all had a lesson be- hind them and in the end the small class of six came out well knowledgcd of their home town, county and state. The first place history float “Great Cove Massacre Students study colonial punishment at Old Bedford Village 50 Greg Daniels learns the art of making a quill pen.

Home Economics Teaches The Basics After high school is over, the gra- duate must be able to care for his own needs. Self-sufficiency begins with the basic household chores. One can't live on TV dinners and Cherrios alone. As the graduate's life takes its course, things like marriage and chil- dren are picked up along the way. Let's take a look at some of the classes offered at MHS to lead the high schooler to self sufficiency. The cooking teacher, Mrs. Mann, has been guiding young chefs since they entered Junior High. The novice cooks are good, but there is always room for improvement. Mrs. Mann has a class of seniors who are polish- ing up their culinary skills. She teach- es them practical cooking and buying food within a budget. There is a lot to learn when the graduate is cooking for himself. Mrs. Horton teaches a family liv- ing class. The course is for senior boys and girls. In family living the students learn about things they must know to be independent. The seniors talk about buying a car. They learn about what size car suits what life style. They family living class also dis- cussed buying versus renting a house. And now that you own all of life’s riches, you need insurance. Mrs. Hor- ton explains the different kinds of in- surance offered. Mrs. Horton also advised a mock wedding. If nothing else, it was a good financial experience for both male and female because they learned who should pay for what according to tra- dition. Tradition pays a major role in weddings. The boys prepared the re- ception for the girls and the girls did the same for the boys. The under- graduates learned how much prepar- ing and work go into having a wed- ding. The lesson before this was, appropriately, picking and choosing a mate. On Tuesdays and Thursdays in the spring, this same class offers a nurs- ery school to four year olds. Half the youngsters come on Tuesday and the other half journey to the school on Thursday. The nursery school is a learning experience for both sides. The children learn how to behave in the controlled atmosphere of the classroom. Mrs. Horton's class plans games, movies, crafts, and snacks for the pre schoolers. Being around young children helps the senior learn the basic needs of these young people. The nursery school is just a part of how MHS prepares its graduates to be reliable, independent, and self suf- ficient. 52 Different The teachers and students are al- most always viewed in a serious man- ner. However, to break the monotony of their busy day at school, they cre- ate a little fun and play. The teachers will take a coffee break in the lounge or just wonder across the hall to chat with a fellow worker. The students, on the other hand, see gym class as a way of relax- ation. Also, between classes friends seem to find time to joke around. After all, it is said that all work and no play make a very dull day. It is also easy to see how people are different by taking a look at their life outside of school. Both, teachers and students, have their own favorite hob- by. Some students enjoy a night of “cruising town”, while others find it more interesting to sit back and watch a good television program. But no matter how their time is spent, they are unique in their own way — just a touch different from everybody else. After a game against Southern Huntingdon.

Mills, because of the thoughtful- ness. kindness, and friendship that he has given us in the past two years. He has not been just a teacher nor a class advi- sor to us. He has and will always be our friend. Mr. Mills taught our class all about Sociology and Government during our junior year and World Cultures during our senior year. Besides teaching us. he always gave us a smile to life our spirits, some advice to help us through our prob- lems. or just someone to talk to who would listen. Mr. Mills was always willing to stick his neck out for us, because he under- stood where we were coming from. Mr. Mills, this is our way of saying thank you for all the times that you were there for us. 61 Top: Secretaries, Dorothy Gehr, Beulah Paylor, Carole Mellott. Lillian Sipes.

A Job Well Done It was a cold crisp December morn- ing. The dauntless bus driver started his trek over the rugged Fulton Coun- ty terrain. Danger lurked in every corner. Suddenly, ice appeared on the roadway; the bus went into a sharp skid. Quickly, the driver brought the bus out of the skid all the while keep- ing very calm, cool, and collected. 62 Top: Cafeteria staff. Faye Butts. Blanche Mellon, Doris Hawbakcr. Dorothy Stevens.

The bus driver dropped off his passengers and went off alone, just as he did the day before. Then just imagine if the mainte- nance staff, the cafeteria staff, or the office workers went on strike. The tons of trash, and the wastes from the Biology room would overflow into the halls. Who would order supplies and answer phone calls? The food in the lunch room would be cold and taste- less. Take the time and remember the people that keep our school neat and clean and in perfect running order.

This year we would like to give a dif- ferent view. The class of 1988 was able to walk through the halls safely. They weren't afraid of being run over by a herd of seniors, and the seniors weren't out to get them. As always though, the seventh graders had to learn the high school schedule and routine. But after the short period of adjustment, they blended in rather well.

If you walk through the halls of MHS you may wonder what kind of people we have here. You can hear names like Solider, Fuzz, and Long Legs. These are just a few of the wierd names you hear. Some nick- names describe the person, others are strange versions of the person's real name, still others don't really mean anything at all. Usually no one knows where the name came from, but that doesn't keep them from using it. 67 Kcrby Randier takes time out for class.

The daily routines haven't changed much. The eighth graders usually have their favorite periods such as gym, art, and study hall. But the time span between fourth and fifth period probably falls to be the most impor- tant; of course, it's lunchtime. At the 11:40 bell the halls fill up in a matter of seconds with junior high students. Then it's a footrace to the lunch line AN D to reserve your scats so NO one will think of sitting in them. But, after the footrace, it's back to the same old schedule; going up and down halls to the next period class. 69 Sue Aller Deanna Anderson Matthew Barclay Walter Barmonl Bonita Baughman Wendy Bishop Lisa Bivens Roger Black Stephanie Branche Robert Brightman Brian Buterbaugh Dena Carbaugh Dconna Carbaugh Robby Coltrin Chris Culler Craig DeShong Marcy SeShong Steve Doyle Kenny Englcrt Kenny Everts Chester Fcaglcy Kim Foster Tim Fowler Todd Garber Jonathon Garlock Kevin Glee Scott Grissingcr Alan Flann Angie Mann Kevin Hann Stacy Hann Russell Harmon Lisa Harr Tony Hclman Paula Hock Will Hoffman Bobby Jones Kevin Joyce Tammy Keefer Gina Kerlin Troy Koons Wavy Koontz Tommy Lynch Terri MeGarvey Bobby McQuadc Tammy McQuadc Jackie Mcllott Kevin Mcllott Lisa Mcllott George Messmger Donna Miller Tammy Miller Joan Murdock Carol Musto Ronald Myers Troy Ott Up With Current Events 70 Ninth grade class officers: Terri McGarvey.

One is the CURRENT EVENTS game. Taking out one peri- od of the week expanding the knowl- edge of world affairs is considered “fun by the ninth graders, (especial- ly the part about taking out one peri- od of the week). The students divide up into two teams and answer questions about “current events . The game consists of ten categories which are; National Af- fairs, International Affairs, Sports, Arts, Odds Ends, Economics, Sci- ence, War Peace, Social Problems, and Politics. These categories are as- signed four different values. The more points the student tries for, the harder the question. If a student misses a question, ten points are de- ducted from the team s score. It's a race against time, for when the bell rings signaling the end of the period, the game is over. The team that has the highest score is then declared the winner. In the middle of the winter the ninth grade class challenges the tenth graders in a face-to-face confronta- tion. 71 The unknown soldier visits MHS Craig Cordell ponders over a question English class proves to be exciting Change Means Progress 72 Ninth and tenth grade arc years of big change. Ninth graders start to de- cide on their curriculum. Along with this comes the choice of electives. Students select the classes they want to take; they arc no longer placed. Tenth graders move from junior high to senior high. With this change comes drivers' education and dissect- ing. These are just a few of the extras. Though these promise to be notable changes, they are met head on. After all, change means progress. 73 Brian Alberi Michelle Ban hoff Greg Bard Travis Bard Terry Barnhart Lori Bivens Lisa Buterbaugh Robert Carbaugh Mike Clevenger Sheila Clark Craig Cordell Donna Coscy Matt Cover Billy Cutshaw Greg Dcnccn Deanna DeShong Heidi DeShong Kerry DeShong Michael DeShong Ryan DeShong Trevor DeShong Troy DeShong Linda Doyle Wanda Edwards Dennis Eichclbcrgcr Kelly Glee Carmen Hamil Felicia Hankerson Brian Mann Sandra Harmon Jeff Harr Connie Harris Jay Hendricks Eric Hollinshead Mark Hollinshead Jim Jones Ginger Keefer Wendy Keefer Todd Koons Gina Lake Joe Lane Boyd Lester Dissecting Day Jitters It’s time for biology, and this is our first day to dissect.

The whole class went hys- terical. Some people screamed; others ducked; but most saw their life flash in front of their eyes. After the smoke cleared and the wounded were treated, we began to pul together the pieces of a broken classroom. Never-the-less, we did learn something that period: Never pour combustible fluids down the sink, and then throw a lighted match in to join it. This is one of the hazards of teaching juniors chemistry. Another thing about chemistry is that you need to use accurate measurements. Because if you use too much or too little of a substance, the reaction wouldn't turn out quite right. For example, put- ting too much hydrochoric acid and zinc together could cause unfavorable re- sults. Foam was produced, but it really wasn't supposed to flow over the edge of the test tube and all over the lab table. Despite all of this, chemistry experi- ments are a learning experience.

In the beginning of eleventh grade the students look forward to the many exciting activities to come. Among some of these are receiving their class rings, making the class fieldtrip to Lancaster, selling M + M’s for a fund raiser and most of all accounting for the Junior-Senior prom. The Junior-Senior prom has al- ways been one of the bigger events. The eleventh grade call a class meet- ing and select a committee who then choose a theme for the prom. After this comes the planning, calling, and decorating. Most always say the decorating is the best part. Then it’s off to the prom; and down with all the hard work the next morning.

Class Of 1983 How many times have you heard that high school represents the best years of your life? Now that gradu- ation is rapidly approaching, we real- ize just how true those words arc. As we look back, it seems like it was only yesterday that we began seventh grade. We looked up to the seniors and wondered if the day would ever come when we would be like them. After the next five years, through all the bad and good times, the day final- 82 Taking lime out from a class. Mrs Horton talks with Rich Marshall and Jeff DeShong. iy arrived. We ask ourselves, where has all the time gone? Memories, both good and bad. come gushing at us as we look to the past. Memories of class trips, study halls, dates, dances, fund raisers, and the prom. Memories of losing old friends and making new ones. As we progressed through high school, we acquired class status through the pur- chase of school jackets, class rings, senior pictures, and class keys. The year 1983 brought with it the thought of our futures. W hile some of us decided to further our educations in either a college or trade school, oth- ers chose to work, get married, or en- ter the armed forces. As we leave the security of high school, we hope that the education and experience we re- ceived will guide us through our lives. As adults, we will never forget the memories of our high school days spent together as the class of 1983. 83 SANDI LEE ANDERSON BUSINESS Co-op 12; Business Club 12; Yearbook 12.

The senior class of 1983 were no different. They con- stantly searched for something to get involved with. Their senior year gave them opportunity enough to get in- volved in activities including the sen- ior play, yearbook, and work pro- gram. During their last year of school, the seniors found that like any other year there was always the one subject that presented an endless supply of home- work. Although their homework kept them busy, given a moment of free time the seniors managed to stay close to their friends and to catch up on the latest happenings. The senior’s unique talent for find- ing something to get into did not end the moment school was over. In their spare time, they could be found doing anything from cruising town to play- ing tennis. Weekends gave the seniors time to get together with friends and family, to relax, and to have a good time. As the year progressed, the senior’s attitude toward graduation made a drastic change. During the first few 96 months of school, graduation seemed to be an event so far away. But as the day grew closer, the seniors became anxious to get out into the world and to get on with their lives. In the end, the class of 1983 will look upon their senior year as one of the best years of school. 97 Seventy-two Graduate In ’83 Commencement exercises on June 3, 1983 saw 72 seniors graduate from MHS. The following awards were made during the program: Chester J. Creager Scholarship — Diane Welsh — Kenneth Brady Americanism Award — Diane Welsh American History Award — Jamie Sickles English Awards — Loren Barclay — Diane Welsh Fulton Motor Sales Award — Mi- chael Wagner Homemaking Award — Melinda Kendall March of Dimes Scholarship — Ja- mie Sickles Beta Sigma Phi Scholarship — Jamie Sickles Richard Miller Scholarship — Doug- las Bard — Bradley McClain Salutatorian — Lisa Clevenger Valedictorian — Susan Keebaugh Anticipation, sorrow, or boredom???

The group of thirteen members sold hoa- gies and Underwood Greetings as its annual fund raisers. With the money the girls raised, they went to the Ice Capades. Dedication, hardwork, and hours of practice were just a few of the char- acteristics used to describe the mem- bers of the Varsity Club. When the day arrived for the members who had fulfilled the requirements to receive their varsity jackets, all the time and effort they had put in to their sport seemed worthwhile. To earn a varsity jacket, a girl had to letter two con- secutive years in a varsity sport, and a boy had to accumulate six points, par- ticipation in each sport counting to- ward the points. Chess is a game of skill, which re- quires concentration and the ability to out maneuver your opponent. The Chess Club was made up of both ju- nior and senior high students, w ho en- joyed the competition involved in the game. Tournaments within the club enabled the members to improve their skills and to match their abilities with those of the opponent.

Student Council Gets Involved The 82-83 year saw great involve- ment on the part of the student coun- cil. There were several projects that were planned and fulfilled. The first was assistance to make sure spectator buses were provided during the basketball playoff season. Five buses were sponsored, and be- cause of this many students and fac- ulty were able to go out and support their teams. The second project was to fix the MHS sign on the athletic field. It had been looking run down, so the student council purchased new white stone to put on it. Among other activities which the student council was behind were a rock concert assembly, the annual afternoon at the movies, special dress up days, and representing the student body. 106 Spartan Informer IMF, xn I McCONNELLSBURC HIGH SCHOOL Above left — Newspaper rccrowns Mike Wagner and Angie Lynch Yule King and Queen.

To make any organization success- ful one must work very hard. That is what the choruses did this year under the direction of Miss Richards. Their hard work showed in several performances during the year. Among these performances were a Christmas musical play by the Junior Chorus ( Christmas 2001”). a Christmas performance by the Senior Chorus (‘‘Joy to the World ). Christ- mas carols by the Junior Show Choir, an appearance at a mothcr daughter banquet, and spring concerts. Several people were rewarded for their hard work by being invited to participate in the County Chorus in Greencastle. Congratulations to: De- anna Anderson. Wendy Bishop. Ker- ry Burke, Kim Foster, Angie Hann, Susan Keebaugh, Alice Mellott, Tammy Mellott, Angela Plessinger, Kristy Richards, Gloria Seville. Ja- mie Sickles. Marianne Sickles, Dcena Souders, Joe Souders.

Congratulations also to Loren Bar- clay, Kerry Burke, Susan Keebaugh, Alice Mellott. and Jamie Sickles for participating in District Chorus at Glenndale High School. 119 Everybody had It! Spirit every- where, cheerleaders, “Blues Broth ers , Mr. Blevins, Spirit Club, and students, everyone had the true, blue, Spartan spirit. Without all these peo- ple, w ith all their spirit, the basketball team might never have been able to I TT l'r I 1f make that perfect regular season. IT Ji-MV-I. m. • The Spirit Club didn’t really exist as a real club, it did not have a presi- dent or any meetings, but the club was always present at every basket- ball game, home or away. Mostly it was there in the form of the “Blues Brothers with friends. The brothers always found new ways to pep our team, and always something nasty lit- tle thing that would psych the other team out. They used anything: ka- zoos, whistles, and new “newspaper ploy , witty slogans like: Question: “What is Fannet Met- al? Answer: “It is like aluminum foil! . And mainly, they used their vocal ap- paratus beyond human means. In short, they had SPIRIT!!! Opposite page Protection? No. Spirit! Top left Dion Miller. Joe Murdock.

Students do service pro- jects in the community from gather- ing trash along roadsides to decorating the Fulton House at Christmas. Local business, groups, and individuals support the school in innumerable ways from attending school events, financially helping school clubs and organizations, hiring co-op students, to providing guest speakers. The MHS student body thanks all of our friends in the com- munity for all of their help. Spartan followers at the boys' and girls' playoff games at UPJ Mr. Cook s class helped decorate downtown meters with Christmas trees. Merc Mike Glcssner and Keith Newell put on the tinsel Co-op And Career Day Help Vocational Choices Mr. Charles Leader is director of the Co-op program. Right — Scott Butcrbaugh works his way through the aisles of MHS on his Co- op job. The world of work was never far from the minds of MHS seniors. For the nearly 30 students involved in the school’s Co-op program, work exper- ience was part of the school day. After a morning of academics, the students left for jobs with local busin- esses, industry, and farms. The stu- dents ended their year’s Co-op work by hosting their employers at a spring banquet. Guest speaker Rev. Terry Punt summarized the program by saying, “A bridge has been built to span the gap between work and school. The gap was spanned in another way by involving all juniors and sen- iors in Career Day. Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, students from all three county school districts coverged on MHS to travel through mini-seminars in a host of different vocations. During each seminar they met with experts in their respective fields who could answer questions. It was a valuable experience. Top Left These girls listen intently to a career day speaker.

Gregory 65 Zeger, Terry 71 150 Another year has come to a close, and we have tried to show a glimpse of it just a “touch differently”. The year has only been a small part of the lives of everyone involved. We have fol- lowed them through the year and have seen them through both the good and bad times. With this end, comes a new beginning for the Class of 83. We must look to the future and to all of the promises it holds. Is It The End . . . Or Just The Beginning Top left: The setting sun shines through a pine ending another day in our lives. Top right: The mist fades over McConnellsburg as we venture out into the world. Bottom: As the school year ends, the work is just beginning. 151
