I � 6 new theme was introduced to Medina Senior High School this year. It was a theme which involved a renewed positive feeling in our school and community and involved all the students, fac¬ ulty, and administration. The theme was WE’VE GOT PRIDE, and was reflected in the people of Medina High School.

We’ve got service clubs, athletic teams, music and drama productions, dances, pep assemblies, spirit weeks, and a hundred other things throughout the year to join and of which to be a part.

Be¬ cause it is expensive to func¬ tion as a teenager, one of these obligations are often in the form of employment. With movies, clothes, dates, and concerts to pay for, many students hold after school jobs in order to earn extra spending money. Late night and weekend working hours sometimes made it difficult to juggle school, friends, and work all at the same time. Neverthe¬ less, for some it wasn ' t as dif¬ ficult to juggle school, friends, and work all at the same time. Nevertheless, for some it wasn’t as difficult as for others. Senior, Kris Stockman said, “Working in a pet store is so much better than my old job. work every day after school, but it doesn ' t interfere with my schoolwork, because I do it when I get home.” B2 By Jennifer Buckloh and Nancy Bohl Larry Crooks STUDENT L I F E (Right) The Franklin Sylvester Library provides a quiet and convenient place to study and do research.

When asked what they usually did, most students said they went to movies, malls, parties, or out to eat. While doing these ordinary activities, some people set some out-of-the-ordinary go als for their weekends. “My goal when I go out Fri¬ day night is to live until Monday,” stated Lou Schaefer. Others took on a more re¬ bellious attitude. “My goal is to cause as much trouble as I can without getting caught added Brad Scholtz. Still other students, such as Jeff Cram, tried not to let the weekend activities interfer with school. “I go out to have a good time, but still make it to school on Monday to preserve my per¬ fect attendance record. While most students would have liked to spend all their free time having fun, they had other responsibil¬ ities to attend to. If not studying or doing last minute research at the library, they could be found participating in church and youth groups, working, or doing chores at home.

This year is definitely different from the other three years of high school. just had a good feeling about all of Homecom¬ ing, especially this year with Brunswick as our ri¬ vals. It was a good way to start out our year in the Pioneer Conference. I hope after our class is gone the pride will con¬ tinue.” — Matt Hall his year’s Homecoming theme, Pride of the Pio¬ neer, was reflected through¬ out Spirit Week. Student Council sponsored lunch¬ time contests such as horses- tick races, rootbeer chug, and the horseshoe toss. In addition to these, the school participated in spirit link and United Way contests to raise money. At the Homecoming pep rally, more contests were held to determine the Spirit Week winners. After points were tallied for the tug of war, mummy wrap, and the float and effigy competition, the seniors were declared the winners, proving to be the most spirited in the school. As the rally neared its end, a nervous Homecoming Court of Janiene Tischke, Eva Smietana, Stephanie Beard, Brit Dietrichs, and Jenny Barnes awaited the announcement of Queen. The crowd cheered in ap¬ proval as Brit Dietrichs re¬ ceived the title of 1986 Homecoming Queen. Eva Smietana commented, “I was surprised to be named to the Homecoming Court. It was an honor I never expect¬ ed. “People participated more in assemblies and spir¬ it contests. Last year they were boring but this year was more fun.” “Getting in¬ volved with Homecoming this year,” said Kristen Kal- let, “ was lots of fun and a really good experience.” Student Council Vice Presi¬ dent, Joe Ebner summed up Homecoming by saying, “It was a real success because the amount of spirit generat¬ ed was phenomenal.” B2 by Jennifer Buckloh and Nancy Bohl (Far Left:) Sherrie Donahue and Renee Barengo cheer on their senior classmates during the Tug-of-war.

Medina won their first Homecoming game in ten years by a score of 17-14. Bonfire goes smoothly I- n addition to the other EBlchanges last year, the bon¬ fire was also different. Every¬ thing went quite well, consider¬ ing it was not postponed due to rain or burned before hand, as in previous years. What is the purpose of the bonfire? It is held to raise spirits and increase school pride. Burning the mascot of the op¬ posing team provides support for the football team, but most of all the bonfire is held to bring people together to just have a great evening. The 1986 bonfire accom¬ plished all of these things suc¬ cessfully. The freshman class, with wood donated by local companies, built the bonfire. President Cindy Kisner stated, “Everything went well because a lot of people showed up to help build it.” by Jennifer Buckloh and Nancy Bohl Homecoming 13 Larry Crooks HOMECOMING Pride and spirit Make Homecoming Memorable. “Homecoming 1986 will always be a special mem¬ ory for me. The amount of excitement and spirit, especially at the pep ral¬ ly, was incredible. It was an honor to be named queen — one of the best moments of my life. — Brit Dietrichs. omecoming and Spirit Week are usually quite similar; however, 1986 was different. The pride was back. More people got involved in activities such as horsestick races, a root beer chug, spirit link competition, building floats and effigies, and the pep rally. Not only was it a year of new found pride, it was a new start for all areas of school competition. Entering the Pio¬ neer Conference gave Medina High School the chance to show even more people how much pride and confidence the school really has. This also gave Student Council the idea for the Homecoming theme, “Pride of the Pioneer”. The football team added their own touch to make Homecoming special. For the first time in ten years, Medina won the Homecoming game. Final results, after overtime; Medina 17, Brunswick 14. Ju¬ nior Jan Stekelenburg said, “Homecoming was better this year because the football team won. This helped to raise spir¬ its.” A roaring student cheer¬ ing section helped the cheer¬ leaders with chants and pro¬ vided even more support for the team. “This was different than other games,” said Mike Laribee, a cheering student, “because people don ' t usually get that involved.” The traditional Homecom¬ ing dance went well, creating a good turnout. Junior Jean¬ ette Wing summed up the evening by simply saying, “It was great. The music was good and everyone was having a really fun time.” D2 By Nancy Bohl and Jennifer Buckloh (Above:) Ann Kemp.

People 17 SENIORS “The anniversary of the Statue of Liberty was the national event that affected me the most.” — Ken Berlin Expectations emember your first day at the big high school? The senior year seemed to be an eternity from that mo¬ ment. After the first few weeks of getting over the ini¬ tial shock, you began to see what the seniors acted like. At that moment, the decision was made on how you were going to expect to happen your senior year. Did it hap¬ pen as expected? Dave Steirer felt, 7 ex¬ pected my senior year to be one long year, because graduation seemed so far away in August. What I ex¬ pected that didn’t happen was having a tough time graduating because of sen- ioritis. The year flew by so fast it never hit me.” “When I was a freshman, I thought my senior year would be the year I would be most involved in school stuff, but I see that most of my friends and I did so much stuff The last three years we kind of want to take a break. By the time you get to be a senior, you’re not really that concerned with high school — more with what comes next,” stated Jane Leu. The biggest disappoint¬ ments in peoples’ senior years were from the advan¬ tages that were supposed to happen when you’re a senior. 7 expected commons to be great, but it turned out to be a real let down.” stated Chris Kelley. School policy was also a problem for Eric Bretthauer, who said, “It was really disappointing to have open campus taken away, especially from us sen- • 9 9 tors. All in all, however, the senior year was our last year, whether it was hard, easy, dull or fun. It was the year we had been striving for the past three years.

However, opinions differ about whether they’re a problem or not. Most people agreed with sophomore Tim Farley, that, “Cliques could be very dan¬ gerous for a loner who has no friends, making it harder to gain new friends.” Two of his friends, Mike Kennedy and Jason Blaha, agreed that this situation exists at the high school. Senior Mark Minster, disagreed. He felt, “Yes, they exist, but I don’t think it is that bad here. Cliques are a problem when they lead to iso¬ lation. When cliques overlap they’re good. ” Cathy Richling and Donna Delsanter felt that, “As you get older cliques aren’t as important, but they still exist.” Two people who feel cliques are a problem at the high school are Jeff Ocasek and Audra Whitnable. Jeff said, “Cliques are only concerned with those in the group and no one else.” Audra felt, “People are too worried about belong¬ ing to the right one. They don’t think about their own best in¬ terests. ” Renee Barengo, Senior, felt differently. “It’s okay to hang around with the people you share the same interests with, but one should be willing to include other people.” fifl by Eva Smietana (Above) The running clique riding in the Homecoming parade are Tim Wise, Brad Yant, Ranee Mcllvaine, and Todd Yant.

No longer all female nor all male, both clubs in¬ tegrated their membership. Interact now includes about a dozen male members while 50% of Key Club is female. The formation of ACT, the forerunner of Interact, directly resulted from Key Club’s membership policy. Four years ago, when Senior Margie Kobak was not al¬ lowed to join Key Club she formed on all female service club of her own. Why weren’t females al¬ lowed in Key Club? And why the change of policy? According to Key Club president, Kyle Hogrefe, “Women were not allowed in the club orginally because Key Club was set up as an all-male club and that was how the charter was written. Four years ago sentiments were against females joining and a change in our charter would have to pass by the en¬ tire club.” The change in member¬ ship policy was partly due to a newly enforced state rul¬ ing, and according to Kyle, “The time and social situa¬ tion seemed right to allow females in.” How do the women in Key Club like the change? Sue Corey and Mary Ebling, two Senior members, said, “It ' s fun be¬ cause we get to do things with friends, that are guys, that we normally wouldn ' t be able to do things with.” As for the men in Interact, Vice-President, Jane Leu, stated that “This is the first year we’ve actively recruited guys, but they ' ve always been allowed to join.” Senior member and International Committee head, Jen King thought, “The guys spice up the club.” One of the male members, Jeff Ocasek, said, “We’re a minority in the club, but it’s an adventure.

In the 60’s, the atti¬ tudes of citizens began to change with the sexual revo¬ lution. The 70’s was a time of “finding yourself,” and now in 1987 teens face many new problems. The life of a teenager has been greatly altered by time. What we do is only a reflec¬ tion of what we see others do! The growth rate of diseases, Times change and so do teens will Medina ever as well as the increase of teen pregnancy, shows the diffi¬ culty of our society for adults and teens. We have an over abundance of chemical de- pendancy and crime. In Medina we don’t see a high percentage of these problems because we are a small, rather secluded town. We do have one problem — we don’t have enough places for social gatherings. This concern came about after a survey was taken of Medina be a party town? seniors’ activities. It was found that 60% of Medina seniors go out of town on weekends. They go to Akron or Cleveland where there are more social activi¬ ties for age groups 15 to 18. “There ' s not much else to do, Kathy Brown said. In regard to movies, she com¬ mented that, “they last a couple hours and then what is an eighteen-year-old to do?” Kristie Wessner added, “Many people like to so¬ cialize in small groups.” “I usually go to a small party with friends,” said Jenny Barnes. Growing and being a teen in Medina is a great exper¬ ience for any person.

Efgj ommons? In the raw b= l sense it simply means a place where people can come and talk and get out of nor¬ mal everyday situations. However, to MHS students, it’s totaly different. Com¬ mons is the place in the school where there should be no rules. In the seniors’ eyes it is a place to relax, sleep, talk, play ping pong, and on occasion, study. This year the common’s rules have changed with re¬ gard to grades. Seniors were thrown out if they received a mid-period report with a “D” or below. Luckily, in this instance a person only had to stay out until the end of the nine weeks. When MHS was first open, the commons was like a living room, complete with soft chairs and a T.V. Now, the commons is thought of by most Seniors as just an open study hall. This was also the year that seniors added a word to their vocabulary, “prone”. Prone means hav¬ ing your body in a horizontal position, which of course, if you were found to be doing, you were awarded a deten¬ tion. Now, why all this fuss over what is supposed to be a show of the seniors reaching maturity? Mr. Jim Hought- aling stated, “ The seniors commons started as a privi¬ lege to those seniors who has | a good G.P.A. We just want 5 to bring that standard back s into effect.” As for the seniors’ opinion on commons, Andy Rup- precht felt that commons is “A place to view seniors in their natural habitat.” In other words, commons is a place to have fun and enjoy yourself — however that may be.

Pitrone Jody Lynn Poorman Greg Allen Pope Kristine Yvonne Rabung Freshman Sibs senior sibs influence frosh ntering the high school as an incoming fresh¬ man is one of the most stress¬ ful ordeals of all time. For their first year in the Senior High, forty-seven freshmen had an easier time because they had senior siblings. In the beginning of the school year, the seniors gave their advice to their fresh¬ men sibling to help them be successful. Some used the philosophical approach such as Tom Ruppelli, who told his sister Tina, “Have a good time and take things for what they’re worth. ” Others used a more practical ap¬ proach, like Chris Coleman who told his sister, Kelli, one line of caution — “Stay away from the bathrooms.” Vicky Friedline also gave the cautionary advice to her brother Rick by saying, “Don’t talk back or be sar¬ castic and don’t be an an¬ tagonist to anyone here.” Most freshmen siblings thought that having a senior brother or sister would make their first year a breeze. They were mistaken. Stacy Glasenapp is among many of the freshmen who are called the “little kid.” “At times I’m called “Ron’s little sis¬ ter, ” and I hate it. I ' d like to be thought of as my own per¬ son and not anyone else,” commented Stacy. Is having a freshman sib¬ ling in the high school un¬ comfortable? Members of the Class of ’87 have not gone to school in the same building with the freshman class since they were in sixth grade. Senior Eric Bretth- auer doesn’t feel uneasy about having his brother in school because, “ hardly ever see him.” Steve Bretth- auer feels the same and is thankful that he doesn ' t look too much like his brother so people don ' t associate him and Eric. Other Seniors have differ¬ ent ways of treating their freshman sibs as they pass in the halls. Eric Flory says, “When see Jennifer com¬ ing, I just turn the other way and act like I don ' t see her.” Some take the more direct approach, like 6 ' 4” Bill Si¬ monson, who says he’ll either yell “Freshman” at his 6’4” freshman sib or just simply ignore him. All in all, the freshmen have learned to make it on their own in the high school without having to hold on to their sibs’ shirt tails — and that suits the seniors just fine.

Kris Rabung, who has been a member of Flag Corps for four years, is looking forward to the ex¬ tracurricular activities. “I ' ll get to watch them all for a change. I would also like to join a sorority.” A typical response from many seniors was that they were looking forward to the independence and freedom of college life. “I’m looking forward to getting out of the house, parties, and being more independent,” stated Danielle Rutti. Robert Cavanaugh, who has sev¬ en brothers and sisters is also looking forward to, “getting out of the house.” Robb Harney who will be attending Kent State and majoring in drama is excited about the drama aspect of col¬ lege. “At college it will be different from anything I ' ve experienced in high school.” For some students how¬ ever, like Mike Gra- bowski, “There’s nothing much to look forward to. ” by Eva Smietana K1 Kristen Marie Riddick Christopher Rogers Danielle Noel Rutti Garth Sanginiti Terry Robertson Thomas John Ruppelli Bryan Gregory Ryks Joan Marie Saucier Jacqueline Jane Rog Andrew John Rupprecht Howard Sanford Stephen Gregory Saunders 42 Seniors At a pep rally in their honor, members of the varsity soccer team join arms in the singing of the Alma Mater.

You begin to wonder how fast you were going or what you did. You also wonder how many of your friends have gone through this. Well a recent poll of sixty senior drivers showed that out of these sixty, they were stopped 109 times by the po¬ lice and 38 of these people were issued tickets. A few talented seniors have chosen to excell in this field of “ticket-accumula¬ tion.” Bill Doraty has re¬ ceived two tickets and has been pulled over more times than he would like to remem¬ ber. Once Bill was clocked by a helicopter on 1-71 while traveling 75mph. Bill com¬ mented, “They cheated” An¬ other familiar face to the po¬ lice of this area is Tom Rup- pelli. He has been pulled over twelve times and wasn ' t just satisfied with a ticket in his truck, so he jumped on his motorcycle and got one do¬ ing 75 in a 35. Tom said, “I didn’t see him until I was al¬ ready pulled over” Lou Schaefer is known out of state as well as locally. Lou has received six tickets, one while doing a mild 81mph. Lou commented on his ticket and said, “I was 0 traveling down a steep hill J and my fuzz buster wasn’t 1 working.” Also, were you “ aware that Medina High has its very own Mario Andretti by the name of Laura Joo? She has accumulated four tickets in less than two years, the latest coming while out of state. When asked about these tickets she said, “The family clunker went faster than thought.” As you can see, tickets are common among Medina High School seniors.

For Angie Ber¬ nard, Robert Crook, and Darren Gore, a shower does the trick. “To wake myself up turn on the radio loud, said Ang Gorfido. For him, hard rock is his favorite. Mi¬ chelle Terhune also likes to listen to the radio to wake herself up. Frank Walden had a suggestion which he uses on his sister, April “I put ice cubes down my sis¬ ter’s nightgown to wake her up. Jerry Ratkowski said, “I drink two cups of coffee.” Other students like Jen Richwine answered, “When I’m tired I turn my alarm off and go back to bed.” B2 by Eva Smietana Seniors during the traditional senior photo ham it up for the camera.

Steve Niswander: “No; I still have the same basic sev¬ en classes, and I don’t get any static from upperclass¬ men. Now: “Now that I have been in the high school for a four years, I have learned it is a place where you develop your personality and that it’s not the classes that matter, but the people. Kevin Doughterty: “No, it’s just as easy as junior high was. 1 don’t get any hassle from upperclassmen.” Now: “I lied; it’s hard as can be — I’m not sure I’m going to graduate!” Stacy Kalister: “Yes; the school is bigger but in gener¬ al, it isn’t as bad as I expect¬ ed it to be.” Now: “Each year high school seemed to get better. Meeting more people, making new friend¬ ships, and offering different opportunities were some of the things I benefited from.” Mike Schwant: “Yes; I have more homework, my classes seem harder, and I get a lot of peer pressure from school.” Now: “I don’t care about the homework anymore. Todd Shuman: “People in high school are nicer than I expected them to be. My classes are easier and foot¬ ball is really exciting.” Now: “High school was fun, but I’ll be glad when I leave.” Denise Miller: “I thought I would be so lost, but I wasn’t. I have a lot of work, but I guess I knew I would have that.” Now: “Now that I ' m a senior, I look back at the years and realize how much fun high school was.” Andy Krejci: “Yes, it’s bigger and a lot harder. I’m really tired by the end of the day.” Now: “Once I got used to it, it was o.k. I’m just starting to like it, and now I have to go.” Jen King: “Yes, I have a lot more responsibility than what I expected. I have more freedom and much more homework.” Now: “As a senior I still have the same amount of homework — I just learned how not to do it.” Debbie Heinz: “I can get away with a lot more respon¬ sibility than what I expected. I have more freedom and much more homework.” Now: “I can still get away with a lot, but I can’t slack off on my responsibilities.” Many found high school to be a place to socialize and learn, others lost their fear as it quickly faded away.

The biggest fear for freshmen was the first exam. You didn’t know what to expect because you heard so many stories. You didn’t worry about them the whole semester until your teacher said, “There are two weeks before exams. I strongly suggest you don ' t wait until the night before to study.” You said to yourself, “I’ll study tomorrow,” until the ex¬ ams were tomorrow. The day finally came, and you thought of every illness that might stand a chance of keeping you home. Finally, you gave up and started for school. As the teacher handed you the exam, the stories flashed back through your mind, and you saw the real thing. As relief sat in, you re¬ membered that final exams were months away. 22 by Chris Ferguson Robin Hogan Lynette Holmes Candace Hopson Michael Hotchkiss Patty Hrencecin Keith Hughes Stefanie Jackson Beth Jaklitsch Frika Jason Leena Jayaswal Kirk Johns Kenny Johnson Thomas Jones Shannon Kane Kevin Kehl Patrick Kelly Laura Ketchem Julie Kick Freshmen 79 Michelle Kick Kristy Kilroy Cindy Kisner Lisa Kitchen Gabrielle Knaflich Stephanie Kocik Cheryl Kopfstein Christopher Kovach Karen Kreiling Michael Krnac Michael Kungli Brian Lade o Nicole Toom (Above) is hard at work on an Algebra I test during her seventh period class with Mrs. Wismar.

I’ve done it all my life.” Tom Delac very year before school starts, the time of school supplies sales, stu¬ dents face the dreaded fact that they must ride the bus. For many, they get rides from older brothers, sisters, or neighbors, but for those less fortunate the bus is the only means of transporta¬ tion. If ever on a bus you might observe a few things. One observance is that the majority of the people are freshmen. This is because freshmen can’t drive and if their ride can’t drive, then the bus is the only alterna¬ tive. We asked many fresh¬ men what they thought about riding the bus, and we received many responses. Candace Hopson, Missy Yates, and Melissa Gerwig all felt riding is all right. Gary Martell said he doesn’t like it because he doesn ' t like his busdriver. On the other hand. Misty Akers doesn ' t mind riding the bus because her friends ride. Denise Rad- cliffe and Jeff Briggs both agreed that riding the bus is a lot better than walking home in the cold. Further¬ more, Nikki Moyer doesn’t like the bus because it is al¬ ways cold. Andrea Beadle and Heather Herman dislike the bus because the ride is too long. Tom Jones, when asked, immediately replied, “I don’t like it because it’s crowded with a lot of seventh and eighth graders.” Heather Dougherty summed everything up by saying, “I loathe the bus!” by Chris Ferguson Freshmen 85 F aculty of MHS HAS IT ALL Eighty-eight teachers, five coun¬ selors, three adminis¬ trators, and one ath¬ letic director com¬ prise the 1986-87 faculty.

The principals, teachers, and counselors have worked hard this year to better the learning and opportunities of MHS students. The biggest change this year oc¬ curred in the Guidance Office. In previous years, MHS had four guid¬ ance counselors. Each class was as¬ signed to a specific counselor and remained with the same counselor for the full four years. These four counselors provided information on: testing, college, support services, vo¬ cational, and career opportunities for their own class. This year there are five counselors and they are as¬ signed according to the alphabet. These counselors have a specific specialty area. They are as follows: Mrs. Hallman (A-C) — Testing, Ms. Southers (D-G) — College, Mrs. Strle (H-L) — Support Ser¬ vices, Mr. Storey (M-R) — Voca¬ tional, and Mr. Peters (S-Z) — Ca¬ reer.

This meant that students were repuired to stay in school all day, to stay in ac¬ cordance with state law. If an open campus was used then those days could not count as official school days. Not everyone was pleased though. “I think exams Because of the new closed- campus decision, students were forced to remain on school grounds | during the 5 three-day -§ exam period. “ Breaking loose should be open because no- boby came any way, com¬ mented Garth Sanginiti.

The academic school year of 1986-87 was a year of many changes. Five new courses were added to the curricu¬ lum including College Bound Lit, Reading En¬ richment, Discrete Math, Basic Geometry, and French V. In addition, a writing center was devel¬ oped for any student who wanted help on composi¬ tions or college applica¬ tions. Although students are not expected to take all two-hundred thirty-nine courses offered, there are some that are required. Required were four years of English, two years of math, one year of science, two years of social stud¬ ies, one year of physical education, and one semes¬ ter of health. Adding the seven electives made eigh¬ teen credits. The class of N J_ 1 ew courses 1987 is the last class to need only seventeen cred¬ its to graduate. by Jennifer Shanta (Below) Catherine Grimm and Colleen Lowry were both in the newly developed Discrete Math class.

This year there are twenty-seven stu¬ dents going into more depth than the regular biology course they took their sophomore year. The students spend one day a week taking notes in a journal on a biology topic of their own choice. Renee Barengo commented, “I think this is a great idea because it gives us a chance to study what we ' re doing in class or to read about some biological topic that we wouldn ' t take the time to read outside of class.” Kathy Burke also commented, ‘‘Our AP Biology class is unique. My favorite part of the class was during the second semester when we dissected a fetal pig.” by Jennifer Shanta 104 Academics ACADEMI CS Some Subjects Baffle Students “Geometry is a word that sends chills up my spine.” — Jennifer Heller verybody has their good subjects and their bad. Your worst subject is probably the one that you have the least interest in, or simply lack the motivation. At the top of the list for some students was math. Sophomore Lori Mullen commented, “Geometry is my worst subject because I will never understand theo¬ rems and I hate doing proofs. When will I ever use them?” Staicey McGinnis, another sophomore in geom¬ etry, stated, “I don’t see any purpose in proofs.” Carolyn Hall commented, “Algebra II is probably my worst sub¬ ject because it is stupid, il¬ logical, and has nothing to do with the outside world.” Among other worst sub¬ jects included English. “English doesn’t agree with me,” commented freshman Meredith Shanta. “The lit¬ erature part is all right, but I despise the grammar.” Sciences also made the list. Julie Linderman, a sophomore, commented, “Biology is my worst subject because I’m not good in any science class.” by Jennifer Shanta (Far Left) CPR is required to learn in all health classes.

Ju¬ nior Eric Markert, who is known for studying while he sleeps, remarked, “Books are the only things wrong with studying.” Jen Forster, a sophomore in Key Club, stated, “I might look over the material before I go to bed, but usually I say, ‘Hey — another time’.”QQ by Jennifer Shanta (Below) Vicky Friedline, a senior, takes time out of the zoo-like sev¬ enth period commons to study.

However, what seems to baffle the teenager’s mind is his fu¬ ture and the many decisions that come with it. A survey shows that fifty-two per¬ cent of MHS graduates enter a four- year college. Thirty-seven percent enter directly into the work force. The military accounts for six per¬ cent, and five percent enter two- year colleges or technical schools.

We are lucky to have this added to our curriculum, since we are one of the few high schools in the nation that has such a course. Many of the topics that include probability, statistics, set theory, vectors and matrices, will be useful for college bound students con¬ templating a major in business or computer science.

It did start out as a joke last spring, but then we thought seriously about it and decided that someday it would be nice to know how to handle problems with our car. Students in Auto Mainte¬ nance learn how to tune up cars and do lubrications. This often involves grease. Debbie commented, “ don’t mind getting greasy at all. It makes me feel like one of the guys. Lisa added, “Most of the guys think that we’re afraid that we will break a fingernail. by Jennifer Shanta 110 Academics ACADEMICS The ACT: Life or Death? hen people think of the ACT, they think of number two pencils and zil¬ lions of ovals. But to a college bound junior or senior, it could mean life or death. The ACT, or American College Test, is a test re¬ quired for entrance to most Ohio colleges. The ACT consists of four tests: English Usage, Math¬ ematics usage, Social Stud¬ ies readings, and Natural Sciences. There is no specific way to prepare for the ACT. However, the college board suggests that the student is confident in his ability and is prepared to work hard. He should read booklets on the ACT which are available in the guidance office. He should also get plenty of rest the night before and dress comfortably. It is never as bad as it sounds, and with the proper preparement, the ACT re¬ sults could turn out to be positive.

They kicked off the school year with “The Pride is Back” as the theme and worked hard to rouse school pride and spirit from hiberna¬ tion. Student Council was rec¬ ognized at the state level for being the only Student Coun¬ cil to win every star of the Five Star Council Award. The Ohio Association of Student Councils created the award to recognize the support and par¬ ticipation of member schools. They award a star for the completion of involvement and attendance in each of five OASC programs. These are: membership to the Ohio Asso¬ ciation of Student Councils, two students in attendance at Summer workshops, six stu¬ dents at fall regionals, two at an OASC retreat, and four at the state conference. The biggest Council event of the year was the OASC convention. Medina hosted approximately 800 students and 100 advisors from all over the state in April for three days. The year prior to the convention had to be spent planning for it and organizing committess for things such as publicity, entertainment, and the banquet. In addition to holding con¬ ventions and boosting school spirit, Council found time to complete their traditional pro¬ jects, among which are Home¬ coming, the Christmas Dance, and various spirit weeks. Members agreed that this was the biggest year they had ever had. ■ E2 by Todd Herman Bob Mihalko Junior Class Rep., Rob Skidmore keeps a watchful eye over the basketball concessions and the money going toward prom.

They ' re really involved and they help us out alot.” — Jane Leu Vice-President ponsored by the Rotary International Club of Medina, Interact finished the year with many successful activities. Among these were the Rock-A-Thon, New Year’s Eve Party, Charter Dinner, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Octoberfest. Sven Mahlmeister, the foreign ex¬ change student from West Germany, was asked why he joined Interact. “My friend Roberto (Abad, an exchange student from Ecuador) talked me into joining. It was an opportunity for me to meet new people and make new friends he said. Officers for the year included Eva Smietana, president; Jane Leu, vice-president; Shannon Dun- brack, secretary; Michelle Elligot, treasurer. Also on the board of officers are six committee heads and a couple of assistant committee heads. Their new advi¬ sor this year was Ms. Sibyl Cole. “The officers of Interact need to be commended on how well the club ran this year. I enjoyed helping organize social and fundraising activities with this high-spirited group,” she said. No doubt, organization was needed to pull off the “Men of Medina” Calender, Interact’s biggest pro¬ ject of the year. Six seniors and six junior male stu¬ dents were elected by Interact club members to be models for the 1987 calender.

The club was very pleased with the out¬ standing number of girls who actually participated and took charge of many projects. “They were a real asset to the growth and productivity of the club, ' ’ said Vice President Kevin Fringer. This year Medina was the home to two very prominent fig¬ ures in Ohio Key Club. Ed Chen was one of those figures holding the office of one of only sixteen lieutenant governors in the state, and Jeff LeBlanc held the highest office in the state, serving as the governor. In their senior year Jeff will serve as President, and Ed will serve as Secretary in their home club rather than seeking National Trustee Membership next year. Some of Key Club’s activities for the year included visiting the elderly at Crestview Nurs¬ ing Home, cutting firewood supplied from behind the school, and selling it for a profit of more than $200.00. In addi¬ tion, Key clubbers conducted paper drives as their major fund raiser. The paper drive was headed by Todd Herman. The papers were collected monthly by the club members and taken to the recycling center. The club was led by officers: President, Kyle Hogrefe, with assistance from officers Kevin Fringer, Vice President; Brad Scholtz, Treasurer, and Mike Hughes, Secretary.

I think this year was successful in provid¬ ing the handicap with a variety of activities. Laurie Martin embers agree that one of the most rewarding aspects of being in Youth Associ¬ ation for Retarded Citizens is seeing their efforts enjoyed by the retarded citizens. Activities sponsored by this organization include a homecoming dance, sweetheart ' s dance, a prom at the achievement center, fund raisers, Christmas caroling, a Hal¬ loween party, and most important the Special Olympics. It is not only fun but a most rewarding exper¬ ience. It is great to see the retarded citizens ' lives filled with joy because of something a student did. It takes a special type of person to donate time to a group of people who really deserve it. YARC is made up of stu¬ dents who have a committment to caring for those in our society who are usually pushed to the side. The people in charge of organizing this community service are President Laurie Martin, Vice President Kris Krepp, Secretary Rena Sutandar, Treasurer Debbie Heinz, Publicity Director Laurie Fritzsche with Mrs. Fritz as the advisor.

Besides sharing ex¬ periences with others, the lan¬ guage clubs add a little extra culture to the lives of the members. This year Spanish Club grew culturally by sponsoring an eleven year old Mexican boy named Felix. The year’s activities also included a Christmas party for elemen¬ tary school children in con¬ junction with French Club and Latin Club. They also ate at a Spanish restaurant called Cafe Sombras. Leading the club was Joe Meier, president; Sue Brenneman, vice-presi¬ dent; Penny Heysek, secre¬ tary; and Tory Klein, treasur¬ er. French Club, along with participating in the Christmas party group effort, ate at a res¬ taurant called Maison Martel and a fondue party. Officers of the club included Stephanie Short, president; Ritu Jayas¬ wal, vice-president; Matt Hall, treasurer; Sheree Tyna, secretary; and Julie Marty, public relations person. Led by the triumuirate of Shannon Dougherty, Claudia Sucky, and Shelley Fannin, Latin Club also had a fun and productive year.

The tutors go to the schools during their lunch, study hall, or after school and depending on the teacher, are assigned to one child or a group of children. The program was started four years ago by Dan Groh, head of Student Services for Medina. For the first time, teachers evaluated their tutors and had only positive remarks. Advisor, Mrs. Laura Dean, said, “ The kids really like the tutors coming because they look up to high school students. Be¬ cause of this, the tutors not only teach, but inspire the students to do better.

In it, students learn about ways to find, apply for, and hold their own jobs. By working in the cafeteria, office, and li¬ brary the first two years of high school, and in various community businesses the last two years, students gain working experience. The Work Study Restaurant, open before school on Wednesdays and Fridays and run by the students, also provides experience. The club was quite active with other schools by helping students and planning par¬ ties at the Achievement Cen¬ ter.

Now there are over five hun¬ dred and eighty units throughout Ohio, a testa¬ ment to the immense success of O.W.A. Mr. John Keefer is the original and current coordinator of O.W.A. at Medina. The program is available to students fourteen and fif¬ teen years of age as an alter¬ native to a traditional educa¬ tion, and prepares the stu¬ dents for entering the Medina County Vocational Center or Occupational Work Experience program in their junior and senior years if they choose to con¬ tinue. O.W.A. students are placed in jobs in the private and public sectors. The pri¬ vate sector jobs include Wendy’s, Dale’s Liberty Inn, and Norman’s On The Square, though these fluctu¬ ate from year to year. Me¬ dina High School cafeteria and maintenance, Sidney Fenn Elementary School maintenance, and Garfield Elementary School mainte¬ nance and library are places of public sector employment. Public sectors of employ¬ ment pay the O.W.A. stu¬ dents eighty percent of the federal minimum wage, and private sectors of employ¬ ment generally pay the stu¬ dents the federal minimum wage. The students primar¬ ily help at the private sector jobs during the rush hour periods, between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Employers work with the students to help them, and the students are evaluated on their work. They also receive grades in class. Through successful O.W.A. participation, Me¬ dina High School students can gain work experience while gearing themselves to¬ wards continued study at the MCVC, in O.W.E., or back in the regular classroom.

Hav¬ ing a job is of main importance in the day of an active O.W.E. student. Keeping up with studies in the morning and main¬ taining a job in the afternoon can be hec¬ tic for many who are involved. It does give them a chance to learn how to use their time and to be better organized, and it also helps the student develop good work attitudes. They learn the val¬ ue of working hard and the rewards of building experience in the working world. By the time they graduate, O.W.E. students will not only have a high school diploma, but also job refer¬ ences, experience, and practical knowl¬ edge. Even though the job is important, school comes first. The students learn how to fill out insurance forms, job ap¬ plications, and tax returns along with the basic studies of math, science, and Eng¬ lish. O.W.E. I is under the guidance of Mr. George Calich, while O.W.E. II is under the guidance of Mr. Tim Myers.

The most popular way to avoid drinking and driving has been to have a designated driv¬ er.” — Laura Strasser, President ADD, or Students Against Driving Drunk, is an organization which works to inform people about the dangers of drunk driving. Through awareness, we hope to save lives. Throughout the year, SADD had two “Soda for SADDs”, where students can buy a Pepsi for fourth period, bake sales, car washes, and candy sales. SADD also helped promote the drug levy passed on February 3, 1987, by making posters and spon¬ soring a dance. Another fund raiser was the bowl-a-thon. The busiest time for SADD is during the Spring when we prepare for Prom. Each year, the chance that someone will die due to drunk driving is very high on Prom night. Treasurer, Kevin Fringer feels,” The best thing I ever did was to sign a ‘contract of life’ with my parents saying that if I’m at a party driving with someone that is drunk. In return , my parents promise to do the same thing. I found out that parents are more con¬ cerned with your safety than if you drink or not.” K3 by Laura Strasser Bob Mihalko (Top Left) Officers Bridget Baka, Angie Leland, and Laura Strasser conduct a meeting to plan for the bowl-a-thon.

No longer did one have to pay 25t for an issue. The reasoning behind this new change was the belief that it would increase readership. Also, selling the newspaper never gave them much mon¬ ey anyway. They get most of their money through ads. Other changes included a new en¬ hanced version of the Macintosh com¬ puter, and a larger staff. “In the future we ' re looking forward to getting a Laser printer which will make the newspaper easier to read, and also, I want to pub¬ lish the paper more often, maybe every two weeks,’’ said co-editor Laurie Gra¬ ham. The staff was led through the year by co-editors Graham and Doug McMarlin. Some staff members intend to pursue a career in journalism while others are just taking advantage of this publica- tional experience for the same reasons one would participate in extra-curricu¬ lar activities — diversity and fun. “Be¬ ing on both the newspaper and yearbook staffs has provided invaluable needed experience for my pursuit in telecom¬ munications,” said senior Rebecca Da- gue.

In 1986, the Monitor staff was organized from students of advisor Ron Hill’s Journal¬ istic Writing course, whereas, this year the staff was opened to the entire school. This re¬ sulted in a younger and more responsive staff. The literary magazine’s printing costs were free last year, but in 1987, the staff had to pay close to $500 by selling patron sponsorships. First year member Charles Skaggs said he joined the Monitor staff this year to, “put more quality work than last year into the magazine.” Serving as editor for her sec¬ ond year was Rebecca Daque. Rebecca stated, “This year was easier than last because the staff was more diverse, dedicated, and wanted to be on the staff ” The staff spent many hours reading (and sometimes try¬ ing to comprehend) over 200 submissions of poems, short stories, personal narratives, essays, and analogies.

To help fill this void, almost the entire staff spent one day in October at Bowling Green State Uni¬ versity, where they attended workshops which dealt with putting a good yearbook to¬ gether. While at BGSU, the 1986 Medinian, “Lasting Impressions,” won the First Place Award from GLIPA (Great Lakes Interscholastic Press Association). After getting organized, the staff members began working on their individual sections. While the yearbook room may seen usually calm and orderly, when deadlines come around, it can become chaos, especially if you don’t have your layouts done. A new change to the year¬ book staff this year was it be¬ ing run as if were a company. Grade points were converted into dollars, or a “pay- check.” How many points or dollars one received depend¬ ed upon eight items. These were: (1) Overall work, (2) Use of class time, (3) De¬ pendability, (4) Accuracy, (5) Team Work, (6) Punctu¬ ality, (7) Editor’s evaluation, and (8) Creativity. There was a total of 200 points or 200 dollars one could receive in their weekly paycheck. This yearbook took a lot of hard work and long hours. Many staff members took home croppers, rulers, and grease pencils, to work on their layouts, but in the end the book was finally com¬ pleted, and it was something that everybody could look at and see that “We’ve Got It All” Leon Lively Bob Mihalko VOCATIONAL CENTER 1 Education from A to Z “The Vocational Center is cool because it ' s a lot more relaxed at¬ mosphere. Also, l get a head start on my career. ” — Tammy Nugent he purpose of the Medina County Vocational Center is to prepare graduates to enter full time employ¬ ment, college or technical school. Elev¬ enth and twelfth grade students are giv¬ en the opportunity to develop many skills and receive hands on training in the field of their choice. Along with learning a skill, students are taught leadership, responsibility, safety habits and an understanding of the economics of work. A great variety of programs are offered, from Animal Care to Welding. Furthermore, students of both sexes are encouraged to enter any and all programs. Students are also en¬ courag ed to participate in home school activities such as music, student govern¬ ment and athletics. In the fall, you could find Rob Pearson on the football field and Kelly Fedor hitting the mats for the wrestling team. Approximately nine hundred students attend the Medina County Vocational Center, ninety-two of which are Medina High School students. There are 36 sen¬ iors and 56 juniors. by Colleen Lowry (Above) Senior Jim Cowley concentrates on the measurements of his Graphics II project. “ It’s fun and interesting.

Being at rehearsal every night took a lot of my time, but it was worth it on opening night. Pip¬ er Klein e that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.” Proverbs 11:29. This year’s fall play, “Inherit the Wind,” boasted the largest cast Medina High School has ever had for a fall play. In¬ cluding townspeople and ju¬ rors, there were 35 students in the cast. The principal charac¬ ters were Doug McMarlin (Colonel Brady) and Robb Harney (Henry Drummond). Other leading players were Mike Laribee (Bertram Cates), Becky Masternak (Rachel Brown), Bill Yar¬ brough (E.K. Hornbeck), Da¬ vid Hrencecin (Rev. Jeremiah Brown), Kyle Fennell (Eli¬ jah), Larry Crooks (Judge) Beth Kiley (Mrs. Brady), Jonathan Downing (Mayor), and Joe Meier (Davenport). The historical drama was well done by the cast and audience comments were very positive and complimentary. The set crew, make-up, and costumes did a tremendous job, and the presence of a live monkey on stage was an added attraction to the reality of the situation concerning the trial of “evolu¬ tion vs. religion.” This year’s cast worked together to make “Inherit the Wind” one of the most memorable plays pre¬ sented on the Medina stage. One of the highlights of the play was the appearance of the live monkey on stage. The juryfJoe Ebner, Missy Hofmeister, Dustin Grella, Cindy Johnson, Michelle Elligot, Laura Potter, Laura Brown, Tyler Wincup, Katie Dillon. Mike Fuller, and Katie Jo Palmer) show mixed emotions as the verdict for Bertram Cates is announced as “guilty.” The crowd in the court room is held captivated by Drummond ' s thought provoking speech to the judge. The cynical newsman known as Hornbeck (Bill Yarbrough) accuses lawyer Henry Drummond (Robb Harney) of being a hypocrite for showing deep respect for Colonel Brady after his death. Fall Play 157 Betty Kiley Rebecca Dague Bob Mihalko Variety is the spice of life.

This year SPICE involved many talents including sing¬ ers, dancers, comedians and musicians. The acts were tied together by the three Masters of Ceremonies Doug McMar- lin, Robb Harney and Mi¬ chelle Swank along with assis¬ tants Bill Doraty and Mike McBride. “Candle on the Wa¬ ter” sung by Mike Laribee and Beth Kiley held the audi¬ ence ' s attention until the last note, when the only light on stage was from their candles. Solos by Christy Klein, Nancy Neiman and Sara Woodbury with Mark Minster as backup vocalist were very profes¬ sionally done. Other duets were done in a humorous ren¬ dition as Kyle Hogrefe and Michelle Sarcona portrayed bums singing “Hold Me while sitting on a park bench. Joe Ebner and Michelle Swank were seen in a new light as they portrayed the fu¬ ture singing “When I ' m 64”. Some real crowd pleasers were the two rock bands that per¬ formed. Stalker with Paul Pi- lat, Jerry Weiss, Jamie Labbe, Jason Williams and Sue Scott did the favorite, “Johnny B. Goode”. Oaotieybaghnthai with Jon Downing, Andy Leicher, Pete Crooks and Matt Reber played a song they wrote, “That’s All”. Dance routines ranged from Michelle Elligott doing classi¬ cal ballet to the Beeliners “boogeying down”. The final act, “Love in Any Language,” was sung by Beth Kiley using sign language with a back drop of many flags of different nations to portray the truth of the lyrics. “It was a moving way to end the show,” said di¬ rector Miss Wrocklage.

Being in the orchestra and ticket crew head was a lot of hard work but it was great to be a part of the show.” Sue Brenneman his year ' s musical was a change from the usual spring productions at Medina High. The cast had only ten members. Many people were disappointed in the small num¬ ber because not so many could be involved. Mr. Skorepa said, said, “ am giving the actors a chance to experience different types of drama.” “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” was chosen as the musi¬ cal this year with the cast of six main characters and four sup¬ porting members. “ Although the cast was inexperienced they did a fine job.” — Mr. Skor¬ epa. The characters were Char¬ lie Brown — Joe Ebner; Lucy — Beth Kiley; Linus — Mike Laribee; Schroeder — Bill Yar¬ brough; Snoopy — Robb Har¬ ney; Patty — Christen Zurell; with Jen Ranaudo, Becky Mas- ternak, Todd Jones and Dave Hrencecin. Although there were initially many conflicts with such a small cast, the production was great. About seventy-five stu¬ dents were included in set, sound, light, make-up, and cos¬ tume crews. It was extremely enjoyable for the young and the old. Mr. Skorepa worked hard at keeping the audience in¬ volved by doing the show in the round and by having a coloring contest, real baseballs thrown out, and participation during the songs. Overall it was a de¬ lightful performance that will be remembered by all who at¬ tended. jV?

Doug said “Being student director gave me a chance to go two steps beyond acting, and work with the actors and Mr. Skorepa to make an ex¬ ceptional performance. It’s a real sense of accomplish¬ You blockhead! ment to see your ideas and thoughts presented to an au¬ dience and even better to hear their approval.” Under Mr. Hutsko’s skilled direction, the musical score added a great deal to the suspense and humor of the action.

It is also a lot of fun and a good way to meet friends. ” — Larry Crooks his year drama club had another successful year beginning with the fall play, Inherit the Wind. This was followed by SPICE and the spring musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The usual small cast for fall play was changed this year to 35, and in contrast, the musi¬ cal had only 10 cast mem¬ bers. Drama club works be¬ hind the stage as well as on stage. Drama club members who meet the qualifications are eligible to join the Na¬ tional Thespian Society. Thespians is not a school club but rather an honorary national organization. To be¬ come a thespian, a student must have earned ten points, each representing ten hours of work for drama club pro- ductiona productions. Technical crews are al¬ ways an important part of the drama program. The light crew is responsible for planning, designing and run¬ ning the lights for produc¬ tions. The set crew is respon¬ sible for building and paint¬ ing the sets; some are chosen from the set crew to work backstage during perfor¬ mances. The sound crew works mainly with tape re¬ corders and microphones, and makes sure that the right sounds are heard at the right time. Make-up and costume crews work with the actors and directors to make sure that the characters are be¬ lievable in their roles. Ticket and publicity crews make sure that the public is aware of the productions so that there is always an audience for our shows. Each member of drama club is an impor¬ tant part of the team because the actors could not perform without the background work provided by the crew. fifi by Beth Kiley (Center) Co-make-up crew head Laura Romis applies Mike Fuller ' s make up for the opening night of Inherit the Wind.

On September 13, the Bees appeared at the Clover- leaf Calvacade of Sound earn¬ ing trophies for drill team and marching and maneuvering, but only a third place overall due to a penalty for going over the time limit. The next week they headed for two competitions. In Lex¬ ington, the Bees earned tro¬ phies for flags, marching and maneuvering, music and first in their class. Five hours later, they took the field in Brun- wick receiving nine trophies for music, marching and ma¬ neuvering, percussion, drill team, flags, field command¬ ers, general effect, first place in their class, and Grand Champion overall. This was the first time in the four years the band has been competing that they received a Grand Champion placing. The band had a two week break before hosting their own competition at Ken Dukes Stadium. One of director Gary Ciulla’s biggest fears was that everyone was really burned out from all the hard work. On October 18 when the Bees took the field in front of the hometown crowd, they proved that they could fight and win a chance to compete in Columbus at state. When the Bees walked off the field, they had scored enough points to compete at state, although they were unable to receive a trophy as sponsors of the com¬ petition. One week later the Musical Bees appeared at the Barber¬ ton competition against one of the best bands in Ohio. In spite of the fact that the Bees were outmarched, they im¬ proved their score and won best drill team, field com¬ manders, and second place in their class. To end the season, the Musical Bees appeared in Co¬ lumbus to compete in the state finals. For their performance they received an overall rating of II (excellent). The bright spot of the show was the Bee- liners who received a I (superi¬ or). When it was all over, the Musical Bees stayed at a Stouffer ' s Inn in Columbus to celebrate a very successful season. by Beth Kiley Row 1: L. Stahl, J. Opdahl, D. Miller, C. Glover, M. Rockhold, C.

Kristie Wessner eginning with two weeks of band camp in August, the flagline made some changes this year that made them an impressive addition to the Marching Bees. They not only sported new uniforms, but a new name — the Emer¬ ald Silks. Captains were sen¬ iors Jen Opdahl and Denise Miller. Denise said, “ This year was a fantastic year with a new advisor who was very thrilled to be a part of the group.” For her first season, Lisa Fiedler was the advisor for the Emerald Silks. The lin- eleaders were Vicki Friedline and Angie Leland. At the end of the year, the Emerald Silks presented awards to some of their members. The Achiever Award went to Debbie Bey- man; Outstanding Flags Award went to Denise Miller and Jen Opdahl; Best Line Award was given to lineleader Vicki Friedline. The Beeliner drill team be¬ gan the school year early by practicing two days a week starting in June. Each year they attend the Superstar Drill Team Camp in Dayton where they learn new routines and are judged on their perfor¬ mance. Staicey McGinnis, a sophomore, was chosen as one of only four superstars statewide. Stephanie Beard and Kristie Wessner, seniors, were also nominated for this honor. Kristie and Staicey traveled to Hawaii to perform at the Aloha Bowl with other drill team members from all around the country. In addi¬ tion to performing for the football games, they also per¬ form at basketball games and at the Cleveland Force or Cavalier games. This year senior Catherine Grimm was captain, with Julie Marty, Cheri Mitchell, Stephanie Beard and Kristie Wessner serving as lineleaders. For the second season Colleen Linnen was advisor. This year was full of compe¬ titions for the Emerald Silks and Beeliners and they came home with many trophies. The flags won best overall at two competitions and the drill team won best overall at three competitions. To end the sea¬ son, the Marching Bees finally made it to state competition in Columbus. To end the season, the flags received a II and the drill team received a I. The Emerald Silks and Beeliners put spirit, pride, hard work, dedication and determination into everything they do and it shows. as by Beth Kiley (Upper Left) Row 1: K. Kessner, C. Mitchell, C.

The only choir made up entire¬ ly of freshmen was the Activity Choir. Besides singing for concerts and contests, they learned about reading music, blending, intonation and accuracy. The Varsity Choir con¬ sisted of sophomores, juniors and sen¬ iors and they performed at local con¬ certs, contests and Showtime this year.

Both qualities are reflect¬ ed in the members of Me¬ dina’s orchestra under the direction of Mr. Keith Holi¬ day. The orchestra members started their season in October playing at the elementary schools to recruit new musi¬ cians at the fourth grade level. Next followed a series of local concerts; one in November, the Christmas concert, and in February the festival of strings for all orchestra play¬ ers from fourth grade to twelfth grade, ending with the fine arts festival in May with both junior and senior high or¬ chestra members. This year the orchestra had a benefit concert to raise money for new uniforms; they also sold poin- settias at Christmas. Orches¬ tra members spend many hours working toward a uni¬ fied sound. Their ability to work as a unit is aided by the fact that many of them have been playing together since the fourth grade. 1X1 Beth Kiley (Above) (First row) cello players Jan Stekelenburg, Sage Lewis, (Second row) Josh Fidel, Todd Yant, (Third row) bass players Dusty Grella, David Harris, Geoff Sternecker (Above, right) Violin players Ed Chen, Michele Rains, Heather Herman and Allison Davis are hard at work during the early school mornings.

Although many band members have hectic schedules, we find time to enjoy band.” — Lisa Moon ours of practice and even more hours of practice go into perfecting even the simplest piece of music in Symphonic Band. Rehearsals take place every school day during first peri¬ od. Symphonic Band, directed by Miss Nancy McNeal, performed at six concerts, in¬ cluding the annual Christ¬ mas concert and band festi¬ val, held at the junior high. District Contest was hosted in Medina for the first time. The Symphonic Band re¬ ceived two “IIs” and a “III” on the stage and a “II” in sightreading, for an overall rating of II. Most people do not realize how hard these musicians work to reach their goal. Many have been practicing their instruments since 5th grade. This year there are eighteen seniors who have been dedicated to band since 5th grade: Renee Barengo, Susan Brenneman, Rebecca Dague, Joe Ebner, Cory Glover, Jim Graber, Allen Hinojosa, Tom Jones, Chip Kolesar, Steve Lucht, Mike McBride, Doug McMarlin, Mark Minster, Lisa Moon, Chris Rogers, Joan Saucier, Stacey Shannon, and Dave Steirer. Miss McNeal comment¬ ed, “ The Symphonic Band truly demonstrated spirit, pride, and concern when it comes to performance. The students each bring an unique musical ability to the group and the results are a combination of these abili¬ ties to produce a truly out¬ standing group of young players.

Along with the Symphon¬ ic Band, the Concert Band performed at six concerts this year. Some of these per¬ formances were: the annual Christmas Concert on De¬ cember 14, District Contest at MHS on March 14, and the Spring Band Festivals on April 30. The highlight of the Concert Band season was District Contest. The Concert Band received two “IFs” and a “III” on the stage perfor¬ mance and an impressive I in sight reading. The overall rating was a “II”. The band played such selections as “Centuria,” composed by James Swearinger, “Ma¬ trix”, a contemporary over¬ ture, and “Coat of Arms”, by George Kenny. Freshman Barb Neal stated, “Mr. Ciulla picks out good music and gives us a variety of style.” Todd Grice, a sopho¬ more, sai d, “Mr. Ciulla picks good music and makes it interesting.” Mr. Ciulla has been at MHS for six years. “Mr. Ciulla is a great guy who loves to work with kids,” commented Sue Gibbs and Lesley Cray.

Sports 185 Ron Glasenapp Gazette F O BALL Record doesn’t reflect talent We had a fine team. I don ' t think the record indicated the talent we had. — Coach Dobney W e had a good deal of talent this year,” stat¬ ed head coach Jim Dobney. “We also played a tremen¬ dous amount of talent in both our independent and conference games. We had a fine team.” According to Dobney, the PC is one of the best confer¬ ences in Ohio, and playing in it is grueling. Being Me¬ dina ' s first year in the con¬ ference, their 5-5 record is more than respectable. “It was a great learning exper¬ ience,” answered Dobney when asked about the sea¬ son. “It should really gener¬ ate excitement in the years to come.” In the presea¬ son, Medina was expected to have a memorable season. Part of the reason they fell short of expectations was due to injuries. Many key players went down with nagging in¬ juries or played hurt. How¬ ever, Dobney wouldn ' t use injuries as an excuse for the .500 record. “Injuries are part of the game. I don ' t want to use them as an ex¬ cuse; you hope to stay at a minimum. We ' ve stayed healthy the last two years, and this year it just caught up with us.” Senior tailback Tom Sency had a banner year, once again for the Bees. He gained 1,212 yards rushing to achieve his second straight thousand-yard year. He was selected to the Beacon Jour¬ nal first-team, was an all- Pioneer pick, and was select¬ ed as Medina County Most Valuable Player for his ef¬ forts. ua by Dave Layton (Above right) Row 1: S.

Of¬ fensive and defensive tackle Brad Smalling stated that, “Our record doesn ' t indicate the ability and the potential that we have. When we do use our capabilities as best we can, we’ll have an incredible football team.” Aaron Zuchowski com¬ mented, “We didn’t play any teams that should have beat us. Our own mistakes is what cost us.” Something must be said for the JV’s home field. Their five wins were their five home games. At home, the offense piled up 124 points in the five games, and the defense allowed only 6. “No team beat us by more than five points. We could have been undefeated if we didn’t give out lucky breaks. 1 feel good about the season because we had some fun,” summarized Jeff Yauger. by Todd Herman Junior Varsity Won 5 Lost 3 Tied 1 Medina Opponent 21 Copley 0 13 Nordonia 16 0 Brecksville 0 28 North Royalton 0 14 Berea 19 9 Brunswick 12 28 Midpark 0 33 Stronsville 6 14 Cloverleaf 0 Varsity and Junior Varsity Football Team Row 1: Coach Carrick, T.

However, perseverence and team effort kept Medina in the hunt for a sectional win. A loss to North Royalton in the sectional semifinals ended our season. We also said our goodbyes to Head Coach Mike Davanzo who will truly be missed. ”— Jeff Oca- sek he 1986 Boys’ Varsity Soccer Team season ended with a 2-1 loss to North Royalton in the Sec¬ tional Semifinals and the an¬ nouncement of the resigna¬ tion of Head Coach Mike Davanzo. This year’s season record of 11-2-7 has come a long way since their 3-3-1 record in 1978 when the team was first formed by Davanzo. “A winning tradition was start¬ ed by Davanzo,” commented senior and goal keeper, Lee Gillette. The 1986 season was a new record for both the few¬ est losses and most ties. The team even ended the confer¬ ence schedule for the first time totally undefeated, but their two ties put them in second place. Once again the varsity team was able to place a number of players on all-select teams. Tim Lesiak, Jeff Ocasek, and Scott Cor¬ nell made the First Team All Pioneer. Scott Fother- ingham, Rob Skidmore, and Lee Gillette made Second Team, and Brandt Camp and Kevin Dodge made Hon¬ orable Mention. In the Ak¬ ron League, Lesiak made First Team while Ocasek and Cornell made Second Team and Scott Vanek, Fotheringham, and Gillette made Honorable Mention. Lesiak was also nominated for All-Ohio. As the books are closed on Soccer 1986 Coach Davanzo would like to leave the team with these thoughts, “I hope we long remember the joys of the season, learn from the er¬ rors and forget the disap¬ pointments. Indeed, there are many aspects of this sea¬ son which are worthy of rec¬ ollection and fond memo¬ ries. by Eva M.

Young went on to add, “We saw improvement of some very capable young players, had an impressive entrance into the Pioneer Conference, and had the best won-loss re¬ cord that Medina volleyball has had in nearly ten years.” The most memorable day for Coach Young and her players was on a Saturday in October at the Cuyahoga Falls Invitational Tourna¬ ment. The Bees played three matches on that day with only a hour and a half break in be¬ tween competition. The Bees finished the tournament in third place after beating Mo- gadore, 15-4, 15-10, losing in the second round to Akron Hoban team, 13-15, 15-12, 10-15.

These were the best records a Medina girls’ cross-country team had ever achieved, and the season turned out to be a very rewarding one. The team placed 4th in the new Pioneer Conference, which was good considering that all the teams that beat them were state- bound teams. At the District meet, the team came close to qualifying for Regionals. The top three teams advanced to Regionals and Medina came in fourth, nine points behind the third place team. It was the closest any Medina team had ever come to making it out of Districts. Individually, Sophomores Candi Becker and Sue Fris- cone advanced to Regionals with 4th and 5th places re¬ spectively.

Fence Climbers of America Ron Glasenapp Co-Captains Eva Smietana and Colleen Lowry climb the fence that surrounds the track. There was an elite group of distance runners who called themselves the “Fence Climbers of Amer¬ ica.” Many times, during cross¬ country practice, they had to climb fences while out jogging. This became a part of their sport, so a break-off group was formed. Some members could climb fences with ease, while others had real problems and couldn’t quite master the tech¬ niques.

Jeff Stands will be the favor¬ ite to fill Joe Sbrocco’s shoes next year. He won medalist honors at the Ashland Invita¬ tional, achieving the tourney’s lowest score.

He scheduled several matches so that everyone could play , making us all feel part of the team. — Laura Melzer edicated players and coaches prevail; this year Medina Girls’ tennis set countless records and achieved many goals. The change to the Pioneer Confer¬ ence produced new standards which will prevail as a con¬ stant for teams to come. The Bees were undefeated in the Conference while playing fif¬ teen girls in these varsity matches. Medina also claimed its first Pioneer Conference Championship, edging out second-place Brecksville. “Beating Brecksville in the Conference tournament was a high point of the season be¬ cause they were confident they ' d win,” said freshman Margie Schultz. Twenty-six victories also sets a new record for the most wins ever in the history of Medina Tennis. Along with team accom¬ plishments, this was also a year for many outstanding in¬ dividual achievements. Pio¬ neer Conference honors were earned by Jane Schaefer, Me¬ lissa Schultz, Erin Fauber, and Margie Schultz. Medina had four qualifiers to the re¬ gional tournament in Sandus¬ ky, two doubles teams, and a lone singles player. Mary Carey, the first singles player ever to qualify in the regional, along with doubles teams Beth and Jane Schaefer and Melis¬ sa Schultz a nd Erin Fauber.

Girls’ Tennis 205 Ron Glasenapp Contemporary Studio _ GIRL S’ BASKETBALL Girls’ Basketball Fights As A Team “This year was a good way to end my basket¬ ball career. We all did well and I can finally call us a team.” — Kris¬ ten Fri here were a lot of ques¬ tions asked and an¬ swered coming into the 1986-87 Girls’ Basketball season. One of these ques¬ tions concerned the fact that the team knew what they wanted to do. They knew they could do it, but what was the best method to ac¬ complish it? The answer to this came early in the season when the members of the Varsity Girls’ Basketball team decided that they couldn’t just go through the motions of being a team, they had to create relation¬ ships that kept the team strong, on and off the court. As senior Debbie Piskach said, We had to develop a strong bond between the members in order to insure our success. This year ' s team was an experience that al¬ lowed us to develop friend¬ ships and a concept of what it is like to be a team. Coach Dale Weygandt said, “Aside from the strong teamwork, the squad ex¬ celled in ability. We were better bal I handlers this year. Our biggest strength, however, was our ability to break the press and our fan¬ tastic defense. Proof of the defense was when the team held Cloverleaf to only five buckets the entire game. Another element of the team ' s success (they had the best record — 9 and 13 — since 1982) was the seniors. Coach Weygandt stated, “The seniors were the stab- lizing element. They pro¬ vided leadership and were the overall core of the team. ” In other words, the team¬ work and improved talent of the squad was developed through the influence of sen¬ iors Kristen Fri, Eva Smie- tana, Debbie Piskach, and Marsha Lazear. Support of the team not only came by way of the sen¬ iors and Coach Weygandt — The Junior Varsity squad also added some influence. Many J.V. players dressed for the Varsity games “ en¬ abling a stronger backup for substitutions than we had in the past, as Coach Wey¬ gandt said. In regard to next season, Coach Weygandt stated, “Next year’s team will win more games and will be in the running for the confer¬ ence championship.” By Beth Walth (Row 1) L. Howard, K. Ferenc, E.

T ogetherness makes the team “He worked so well games, but also during prac- together. It was our coach and togetherness that made us such a great team. — Kelly Brock he J.V. Girls’ Basket¬ ball team, along with coach John Seminik, proved one more time that they’ve got what it takes. The team was the first team in the his¬ tory of Medina Senior High to capture a Pioneer Confer¬ ence Championship — and they did it with style. They scored over 30 points in fourteen games, held their opponents to under 30 points in fifteen games, had every member of the team start at least once. But more than statistics can show, the team had the “togetherness” which al¬ lowed them to excell in any game. The team’s success not only depended on the physical ability of its mem¬ bers, but also its friendships. “Together We Can” was an ideal quote which Coach Se¬ minik stressed not only at tices. He stated, “ The mea¬ sure of success was in direct proportion to how well we played together. Collective¬ ly we were hard to beat be¬ cause each individual com¬ plimented another to illus¬ trate our “togetherness.” The close relationships on the squad helped lead the J.V. Girls’ Basketball team to victories, nonetheless so did the challenge of a new conference. “Being in a new conference gave us a high goal to achieve and we did it by winning the Pioneer,” stated sophomore Karen Phillips. The team had a new obstacle to overcome and they welcomed it. Mr. Se¬ minik said, “The conference was highly competitive but we kept our positive attitude and went for the champion¬ ship . ” In closing, Mr. Se¬ minik stated, “ The chemis¬ try of this years J.V. team was such that we were able to excell at whatever we put our minds to. We proved that ‘to¬ gether we can ' .” By Beth Walth (Above) S. Greer, G. Lenk, J. Shanta, and D. Moyer scramble for the ball against their opponents the Rams.

Gretchen Lenk and Beth Schaefer were named to the all-con¬ ference team while Jodi Heim and Stephanie Greer were the first freshmen to score over 100 points.

The varsity squad finished their regular season with a 4- 16 record and lost their open¬ ing-round game in the section¬ al tournament to Brunswick, 58-49. Co-captain and fourth year letterman, Todd Shu¬ man, emerged as the scoring leader, hitting for over 14 points per game, good enough for eighth place in the county. Todd was also an All-Pioneer second team selection. Dave Layton and Bill Simonson were also named to the All-PC Honorable Mention team. Si¬ monson and Layton led the team in rebounding with 145 140 respectively. Layton was also second on the team in scoring with a nine point aver¬ age. According to both team members and coaches, the sec¬ ond half was a much more ef¬ fective one for the Bees, even if it didn’t show in the won-loss column. Senior guard Tom Jones stated, “We had the tal¬ ent to do well, but we just didn’t play together.” Coach Tomaskovich com¬ mented, “We played real well in the second half of the sea¬ son.

Despite their overall record, a lot was ac¬ complished as many first year letter winners gained some vi¬ tal varsity experience. “It was a tough year. We lost a lot of close matches against one of the toughest schedules we’ve faced, hut in the long run, it did nothing but help us. Over¬ all, we were a very young team.” commented Head Coach, Jim Lavery. The Bees did manage to have two Regional qualifiers and one State qualifier as sen¬ ior Kevin Fringer and junior Kevin Anderson both quali¬ fied for Regionals and Fringer went on to qualify for State. “The season had it’s ups and downs, but I felt good about qualifying for Regionals. It was a real downer, for one not making it to State, and seeing Kevin lose before the finals in Columbus at State,” said Ke¬ vin Anderson. Most of the wrestlers are looking forward to next year as are the coaches. “A lot of our success depends on what the wrestlers do between now and then. Wrestling is one sport where you have to work in the off-season to improve,” said Coach Lavery. “I just wish that I could do it again. I really enjoyed watching the younger guys get better as the year went on. These kids are going to be really tough next year,” commented Kevin Fringer. (Above) 1986-87 Wrestling Team, Row 1: L.

The Junior Varsity compiled a 3-12 re¬ cord while the Freshman boasted a .500 record at 4-4. Much of the pressure was put on first and second year wrestlers, according to Coach Steinback. “It was a rough year for me because I have never coached a losing team before. The guys need to show a little more dedica¬ tion and willingness to work, to improve, and become good, solid wrestlers.” Freshman Tonny Tecco was happy with how the team did considering the lack of team members. “We didn’t do bad for not having a full team.

In other tournament competitions, the team, by squeezing into third place by .65 at Sectionals, advanced to Districts. Co-captain Tri¬ sha Finke commented, “We just made it out of Sectionals again, (last year we were fourth) this time in third. Although we didn ' t qualify as a team out of Districts, the year was still great. Fin¬ ishing in sixth place at Districts kept the team from advancing to State as a whole.

JV’s Succeed fB: he junior varsity soft- =Uball team compiled a 7- 9 record overall, and a 6-6 Pioneer Conference record. At one point, the girls were 2-8 and won four straight, to finish at 7-9. The team only had two pitchers, Darlene Palmer and Jennifer Shanta. They should be successful on the varsity level,” according to first year coach Toni Ma- cenko. One of the highlights for the team was defeating Brunswick 6-5. (Macenko’s ex-team) and defeating Clo- verleaf 31-28 in a nine inning game. Stephanie Greer felt, “We had a fun season. Mrs. Macenko is a great coach.” JV? by Candi Becker A rail There’s always next year “We were a young team and we played well to¬ gether. Even though we didn ' t win, we had a lot of fun.

(0-14 Pio¬ neer Conference) With only four seniors on the team, and seven total returning lettermen, the team was lacking experience on the varsity level. First year coach Janee Bed- narik felt that the girls played well together, and always had a positive attitude. The Pioneer Conference is a very tough conference, and the transition into it from the SWC was drastic for the girls. However, senior Audra Whitnable was named to first team all Pioneer Conference. Kelly An¬ derson and Deeann Townsend were named to the second team. Michelle Carpenter and Kim Maupin re¬ ceived honorable mention. At the awards banquet, senior captain Beth Vanuch was presented with a third-year letterman plaque. Audra Whitnable was named Most Valu¬ able Player and Kim Maupin was named Most Improved.

Softball 221 First year in PC tough “It was a very tough year for all of us. The seniors hit far below what they did last year, and losing our pitcher for a month with an arm in¬ jury, and losing another to grades, really hurt us.” — Dave Layton his year’s varsity base¬ ball team had an up and down year in finishing with a 6-14 record. The record, while sub .500, included wins over the first and second place teams in the conference. The Bees downed Strongsville 3-2 and Brunswick 4-3. Out of conference games were also very difficult. Me¬ dina ' s schedule included the second, eighth, thirteenth, and eighteenth ranked teams in the state. They played very well against these teams, how¬ ever. It was the average teams that proved to be Medina ' s downfall. Losing to .500 teams North Royalton, Mid¬ park, and Cloverleaf twice was detrimental to the team ' s success. Individually, it was an ex¬ cellent year for Tony Eckert, the club ' s fourth hitter. Tony led the team in seven different offensive categories including batting average, (.426), on base percentage, (.526), and runs batted in with 27. The ju¬ nior was chosen as a second team All-PC pick. He was also an all-county choice. Bruce Apple led the team with one short of the school record, 5. Also, Tom Jones and Dave Layton were chosen to play on the Medina County All Star team and the Cleveland East- West All Star team. by Dave Layton VARSITY BASEBALL 6-14 MEDINA OPPONEN 4 Brunswick 3 0 Midpark 5 8 Glen Oak 18 0 Strongsville 5 5 Bay 7 9 Cloverleaf 16 11 Brecksville 10 2 Berea 5 2 Brunswick 15 5 Orrville 1 16 Buchtel 9 6 ® Midpark 8 3 Strongsville 2 10 Hoban 16 8 N.

Several play¬ ers showed promise of excep¬ tional varsity careers. Under the tutelage of third year coach, John Leubke and fresh¬ man coach Neil Chesney, the two teams amassed a com¬ bined 17-11 record. At the J.V. level, Keith Croucher led the way with a .462 average, and .600 on base percentage. Also having fine campaigns for the jayvees were Greg Gaume, who hit .418 and led the team with 13 abound stolen bases. The third .400 hitter on the squad was Mike Rynearson, who batted at a .415 clip and paced the club with a .952 fielding percent¬ age. On the mound Mike Hu ghes was the leader with a 3-0-1 record and a fine .61 era. Also having 3 wins were soph¬ omores Jamie Schultz and Chris Abrams, who also tossed a no-hitter. From a team standpoint, al¬ though they hit no homeruns, the J.V’s had an excellent .338 batting average, and stole 81 bases out of 83 attempted. The pitchers had a combined re¬ cord of 12-5 as opponents could only manage to hit at a .197 pace. The Freshmen, despite a 5- 6 record, showed they could play brilliant games. Only 2 of their losses came by more than 2 runs. The two big men were Jim Dillinger, who hit over .400 and was overpowering on the mound, and Keith Hughes, who stroked the ball at a .400 clip.

It made school more enjoyable.” — Laura Melzer e all see the cheerleaders on the sidelines of home football, soccer, and basket¬ ball games, and matside of wrestling matches. However, what goes on before the game, on the long rides to the away games and matches in the su¬ burbans or “party wagons” provided a lot of interesting conversation. General talk includes school, teachers, weekend events, and guys. Jeff Eble, the business manager for the Medina City Schools, also drives the girls to many of the away games. When asked what the most popular cheer¬ leader topic, Eble said, “Boys, boys, and sometimes boys. “ He’s provided a lot of insight into what goes on during these long car drives, stated senior captain Brit Dietrichs. Eble commented, ‘‘‘ ' The topics haven ' t changed in the last 10 years. Most cheerleaders got the best laugh out of Barb Bridges, who, while stopped at a red light, leaned out of the window and tried to pick up Mark, a delivery man for Na¬ bisco. The other favorite of the basketball cheerleaders was riding the bus with the team and singing the alma mater. Cheerleaders, however, pri¬ marily promote spirit and en¬ courage the team. Any one of the cheerleaders, from fresh¬ man to senior, will say that. Laura Melzer and Stacey Ka- lister summed it up the best. They said, It gave us time to relax and forget our other problems. We went out there to have fun and cheer on the team.” With most teams are going through a rough season, the cheerleaders were a big as¬ set in urging the team on. by Ron Glasenapp and Dave Layton (Above Left) Barb Bridges, Kellie Coleman, Elbe Grimm, and Dana Ridge encourage MHS students to get in the spirit at a pep rally.

The meal was catered by Western Reserve. After dinner, members of the junior class provided entertain¬ ment as they performed an imagi¬ nary episode of “Love Connection”. However, some complications arose with their portrayal of selected sen¬ iors. Personal comments and sug¬ gestive language made the enter¬ tainment somewhat controversial. Mr. Houghtaling commented, “It was a cute idea. Some of it was in¬ appropriate and the ‘certain com¬ ments ' didn ' t make it any funnier and it embarrassed people. Other than a few words here and there, it was pretty well done. ” Students had a different view of the subject. Katie Lucas stated, “I can see how some people would be bothered by the comments, but they didn ' t bother me. Garth Sanginiti added, “I thought it was a lot of fun, but no one should ' ve gotten in trou¬ ble. “I feel they overreacted, espe¬ cially because it ' s supposed to be a night for juniors and seniors but teachers, parents, and Board mem¬ bers were there,” stated Joel Braun.

Over six hundred gathered to enjoy “The Best of Times” with friends and faculty. The money was raised through the hard work of the junior class. By par¬ ticipating in a door-to-door fundraiser, and running home football and basketball concession stand, the junior class earned money to make Prom an enjoyable evening for all. This was the first Prom in which all juniors and seniors were admitted free of charge, because of the dedication of the junior class and advisors Sybil Cole and Carole Snyder.

The Class of 1987 are now alumni. At the 112th Commence¬ ment ceremonies, held on June 7, 1987, the senior class turned their tassels making them official alumni. The ceremonies were officiated by Mr. Laurenzi, principal of Medina High School. Fol¬ lowing the processional, “Pomp and Circumstance”, Joseph Ebner led the class with the Invocation. Starting off the speeches was Student Council presi¬ dent, Michelle Swank. Her speech “Occupations of the alumni Years” followed the chang¬ ing desires of career choices, from firemen to doctor or lawyer. When asked how she felt about giving her speech, Michelle said, “It was very difficult because all the classmates were listening for once; it meant something to them. It was very emotion¬ al.” Douglas McMarlin fol¬ lowed Michelle with his speech titled “The Times That Shaped Our Lives.” Doug spoke of the memories that the high school has helped to create, how in twenty years the Class of 1987 won’t be remembered for what they have done. Doug surmised the seniors’ thoughts with, “Granted, soon nothing will be left physically, but everything that is left worth remember¬ ing, exists in our minds.

Because What Lies Ahead “ r will definitely seem different to come back to MHS and have to park in the visitor s parking lot — Ron Glasenapp ow, that the sen¬ iors of 1987 have graduated, many have looked back at com¬ mencement and shared how they felt. Eva Smietana stated, “Graduating was the best. Now I can ' t wait to get to West Point and wake up every morning at 5:30 for a five mile run. Some graduates did have unusual memories of gradu¬ ation, such as Kristi Wessner. She said, “Thad Gregory ' s ban¬ dana and rubberband will always hold a place in my memory. Many students felt sad about graduating It was sad, because I ' ll never see half of those people again, com¬ mented senior Andrea Thorton. Nena Haworth felt It was sad knowing that the time with the group of 350 people was the last time we ' ll be together, but I ' m glad we made it! Many seniors had mixed emotions about graduation. Beth Van- uch said “ It ' s sad to be graduating, but it ' s also exciting because of what lies ahead. by Cheri Mitchell and Chris Ferguson 246 Commencement C_o_m_m_e n c e m e n t (Left) The Class of 1987 celebrates by throwing their caps into the air.

Seniors were able to experience on-the-job training for a wide variety of city, county, and school positions. This year Project Involvement included nearly fifty posi¬ tions ranging from mayor of Medina City to County Parks Director to Heritage Elementary School Principal. The majority of the students involved learned a lot. Janette McCurley, who was assigned as pa¬ trol sergeant, said, “I learned a lot about how the police department works. The work is really in¬ teresting, but there is a lot more paper work in¬ volved than people think. More stuff goes on in Medina than most people realize. Assigned as Elementary Coordinator, Heidi Tomes com¬ mented, ‘7 had a terrific time. I never realized how much work this position involved.

It was held once a eSI month at city hall and provided area teens a place to go and relax in a drug, alcohol, and tobacco-free atmosphere, Katy Lenaburg felt, “It’s a good way to get kids off the street and they should have it every week.” Various themes for the year included “Medina’s a Beach,” “Mt. Vesuvi¬ us, and “Reggae.” Also special guest, Oaotieybaghnthai, composed of Jonathon Downing, Andy Leicher, Pete Crooks, and Matt Reber played at most dances.

The team, led by advisor Mrs. Carol Lenk, included Mark Minster, Mike Goyette, Paul Larson, Steve Hardesty, Kathy Burke, Todd Herman, Jonathon Williams, Paulette Keck, and Beth Root. The students were tested in ten different areas ranging from economics to art and music. In their first year of competing the team ranked eleventh in the state and came home with many medals from the Shaker Heights competition held March fourteenth and fif¬ teenth.

The state visits Medina m n April twenty-third, twenty-fourth, and twenty-fifth, Medina had about 800 guests visit the school. Student leaders from all over the state came to at¬ tend the thirth-fourth annual Ohio Association of Student Councils Convention. These junior and senior high stu¬ dents stayed with local fam¬ ilies who offered to host them for the convention. Vicky Manning of St. Peters in Mansfield had no complaints. “My host family was really friendly. The Dunbracks are great people . ” Students spent a large part of the convention in discussion groups. They had workshops on things such as student lead¬ ership, school spirit, and post¬ er making. After the banquet, the students were entertained by five of the SPICE acts, and then they went to the gymna¬ sium for a dance. H I thought it was fun. I met a lot of new people, y y — Joanne Abellera (Above) Many students volunteered their time to help out at the convention.

This has been reflected in our success in the new conference, our academic record, and music honors. Medina has offered its students, faculty, and administration the opportunity for success, challenge, and growth, and it has been up to all of us to face those opportunities. Closing 303 19 8 7 M E D I N I A N I Over the past year, the constant idea was to dis¬ play the spirit and pride of Medina High. We worked hard to capture the true essence of the willingness of students to be an impor¬ tant part of their high school.
