By September of 1987. the city had approved 893 lots and fourteen new housing developments in the city school district. Medina suited the trend of suburban and rural living, being a relatively rural community situated within commuting distance of Cleveland and Akron.

People divider Standing room only PEOPLE H aving a record enrollment of 430 students, the senior class of 1988 was the largest Me¬ dina had ever graduated. While such statistics often categorized all the students of Medina, few let it become a hindrance. Instead many asserted a belief in an old cliche: “The more, the merrier.” Medina students stand and talk or just mill about at Ken Dukes Stadium.

Students looked forward to the three months without school which lay ahead. But for many it passed quickly. For some, summer meant sun and re¬ laxation, while for others it held oppor¬ tunity and new experience. For all, summer permitted a much needed break from the monotonous school year. Forty-five students, accompanied by Mr. Semenik and several other teach¬ ers and their wives, experienced life behind the Iron Curtain. They spent three weeks traveling across Europe, stopping in the Soviet Union, Poland, France, Holland, England, Belgium, and East and West Germany. “My fa¬ vorite part of the trip was running through Red Square ,” said Jeff Le get. Other students also traveled to Eu¬ rope. There were two teams made up of girls from all over Ohio that traveled from one country to another to play soccer. “We went to Denmark, Hol¬ land, Sweden, and West Germany, played about fifteen games and won about ten. The McDonald’s tasted different, but the shopping was great,” said Shelle Heim. Some students incorporated learn¬ ing into their summer. Nine girls from Medina were chosen to participate in a government program sponsored by the American Legion. Denise Chrien, Kristy Ebner, Shannon Dunbrack, and Mary Sviatko traveled to Ashland Col¬ lege to engage in a mock state govern¬ ment for Buckeye Girls’ State. Bowling Green housed Medina’s Buckeye Boys’ State candidates Jeff LeBlanc, Bill Jerla, Larry Crooks, Mike Laribee, and Jonathan Williams. “Besides learn¬ ing about government, I learned about making friends and meeting new people,” said Mike. The summer also provided enter¬ prise. Many students become part of the working world in order to earn mon¬ ey for various purposes. Perhaps the best part of summer was the relaxation and vacation. Whether it meant staying in Medina, traveling to exotic places, or just hav¬ ing fun with friends, summer gave us the freedom to learn what we wanted. — Nancy Bohl and Jennifer Buckloh M i Enjoying a family vacation, Stephanie Greer is ready to begin the fight for the title.

They influenced most every facet of our high school exper¬ ience. Friends heightened the flow of emotion back and forth across the playing fields and were certainly important to suc¬ cessful parties. Could it be social life was more impor¬ tant than the classroom? Afterall, our friends encouraged us to follow our career dreams, and it was the moments shared around a bonfire or shared with that spe¬ cial someone during dates which linger in our minds. Many believe we learned just as much outside the classroom as inside. Yes, social life drove our actions, the way we dressed, the way we acted, the very way we learned.

It’s a moment in my life I will al¬ ways cherish and never for¬ get.” — Shannon Dunbrack H omecoming Spirit Week kicked off the festivities with the theme “Spirit of ’87”. This theme not only reflected the spirit of the school, but also helped celebrate the 200th an¬ niversary of the Constitution. During the week, all four classes par¬ ticipated in lunchtime and hall decorat¬ ing contests and raised money by con¬ tributing to United Way and buying spirit links. The band, candidates, and sports teams marched in the parade, as the juniors and seniors displayed floats. At the rally, students participated in pie¬ eating and hoola-hoop contests. After the tally of the float, effigy, United Way, and spirit link contests, Mr. Se- menik announced the winner. For the first time in their high school career, the seniors placed first in Spirit Week, win¬ ning the McDonald’s Spirit Trophy. After the rally, students gathered to enjoy the burning of the effigies at the bonfire. Student Council President Denise Chrien stated, “I think everything ran smoothly and I was very ex¬ cited that the seniors finally won Spirit Week!” Before the game, 1986 Homecom¬ ing queen, Brit Dietrichs, crowned her heir, Shannon Dunbrack. The Bees battled the Strongsville Mustangs in a close game. Although the Bees pre¬ sented a great effort, the Mustangs were victorious with a score of 34-31. Tri-Captain Todd Appulese explained, “It was an offensive showdown. We really needed a big play on de¬ fense, but unfortunately it wasn’t our night.” — Jennifer Buckloh and Nancy Bohl Members of the girl’s volleyball team ride in the Homecoming Parade. Fall sports teams, floats, and the Homecoming candi¬ dates joined the Medina Musical Marching Bees in the caravan.

Spirit of ’87 11 Bouquet of Memories H omecoming was a time of in¬ creased spirit and school pride. It united not only students, but alumni and the community as well by bringing them together for the football game and bonfire. However, many people had their own definitions and ideas of Homecoming: “It’s just a pagan ritual.” — Steven Linnen “I don’t understand. I sat home all night waiting for someone to come, but they never showed up.” — Mike Ter¬ rell “Homecoming originated because a football game was one of the few things that drew people together in more ru¬ ral communities. However, this may all be a lie.” — Mr. Clevidence “It’s just a good time that brings the school closer because of all the spirit.” — Karen Kreiling “It’s just a way to up the spirits of the boring people in the school.” — Brian Turk “It’s tradition!” — Jenny Krejci “It gives us something to do.” — Kristina Becker Medina has named a Homecoming queen for many years. The election is based on contribution to the school and community. “It’s just a big popularity contest.” — Larry Chapin “We have a queen to single out an individual who has contributed a lot to the school.” — Wendy Hovey “It would be nice to have a Home¬ coming king, too.” — Pete Yatsuk “We shouldn’t have guy candidates because they do their part in the game.” — David Harris The dance and bonfire are also old traditions. But what do students feel about this?

Chad explained, “ ‘Saturday Night Fever’ drastically influ¬ enced our lives. We learned how to really let it hang loose. It was the best night of our lives!” “We had a hard time fighting off the women that night,” added Jason. 12 Homecoming Spirit of ’87 After being announced queen.

Homecoming Spirit of ’87 13 Pam Osborn SENIORS On top of the world c | ost seniors looked towards ’88 | VI as the best high school had to AJ W offer. It would be filled with fun, adventures, laughter, and, of course, decisions. The senior year held the promise of dances, special privileges, good times, and commons. Homecoming would be perfect and Prom would be divine. Decid¬ ing what to do after college would be one of the biggest decisions of a senior’s life. Some seniors had to decide if they wanted to graduate in January. Larry Crooks, who made that decision said, “I had a lot of fun first semester and I’m really Sitting on top of the commons, the senior class officers are: Carolyn Cassidy (secretary), Megan Fri (V. president), Kristy Ebner (president), and Kelly Koval (treasurer). c The class of ’88 won the hall decorating -§ contest.

I don’t think I’ll have any regrets about it as some of my friends may think.” Feelings of the year varied with the indi¬ vidual. Kelly Koval stated, “As soon as the year started, it felt great just to know that we’d be graduating soon. Now, as time goes by, I feel like I’ll miss it ... I don’t know, I’m excited yet unsure about leaving. There’s too many memories here ...” Dana Ridge shared her thoughts by saying, “Every year has it’s ups and downs. My sen¬ ior year has been a steady climb up. When June comes, I think we all will go to the top.” — Cheri Mitchell jMj Having a great senior year. Barb Bridges, Megan Fri, Kris Krepp, and Shannon Dunbrack show their spirits. At the Homecoming dance, Denise Chrien takes time out to talk to Ms. Pritchard before going in. “The funniest thing that happened to me in high school was when I borrowed a pair of black shoes from Cheri Mitchell and put them in Tim Lesiak’s locker. Later I went back to get them and one was missing. It still is!” — Amy Smitley “Don’t take every¬ thing so seriously. Have fun because high school is over before you know it.” — Tory Klein Todd Allen Appulese Sean Troy Athey Andrew Lee Arehart Robert Paul Aspery Teresa Ann Bachmann Shannon Hope Baechle “School isn’t all that bad. People say ‘school sucks’ just be¬ cause they want to be mad at something oth¬ er than themselves. School is what you make of it.” — Josh Cashion Seniors On top of the world Pam Osborn SENIORS Krista Michelle Bailey Daniel Robert Baisch Lynn Ann Baker Jeff Philip Barnes Tracey Ann Bauer Kristina Susanne Becker Sharon Renee Beller David Paul Bellian Bruce Alan Berger Lori Ann Berger Jeffery Michael Bernard Nancy Eileen Bohl Deborah Anne Bonitz Brian Edward Blosser Darren Lee Beten Seniors Metamorphosis Natalie Lynne Bors Christine Augusta Bostwick Joel Andrew Braun “I plan to make a million dollars selling food to Ethiopian people and buy a Lamborghini. ” — Joel Braun Barbara Ann Bridges John Michael Brooks Kimberly Sue Brown “The funniest thing that ever hap¬ pened to me was once in biology we were dissecting frogs and I started talking to someone, while unconsciously I was spinning it around by its legs on a probe. ” — Krista Bailey Making a change W hen it came to changes, many seniors agreed that the high school could have used a few. Some thought the school policies needed changing, and others thought that the stu¬ dents themselves should change. When asked about the school, Krista Bailey said, “I think there should be open lunch periods, for those occa¬ sional urges to eat real food!” Tony Kobak wanted to change, “The statue in the courtyard.” Matt Hall stated, “1 would change the attendance proce¬ dure. 1 still don’t understand what to do with those slips.” When asked how they would change the social etiquette of the students, Shan¬ non Dougherty said, “Guys should go out with girls without having to be a couple.” Jeremy Soditch would change, “The attitudes of the students.” — Cheri Mitchell m Before taking the “crazy” senior leader traditional photo, Kevin Anderson asks Denise Chrien is he should be a wrestler, a Beeliner, or a Homecoming Queen.

What exactly did seniors most like to do after school? A few liked to go to work, such as Tri¬ sha Steinkamp. When asked what she most liked to do she said, “Going to work at Perkins!” Mike Driscoll was into sports and stated simply, “Football, of course.” Jeremy Soditch disagreed and said, “For a while soccer, but it got boring, so just going home.” Diane Dylinski had a different pastime, and said she loved, “Watching Rocky movies and eating Mr. Hero sand wiches with my boyfriend.” Matt Hall could be found out on the band practice field. He said, “Marching Band. We wasted a lot of Tuesday and Thurs¬ day evenings, and lost a lot of Satur¬ days, but it was a lot of fun.” The most unusual pastime was Joel Braun’s when he claimed, “Other than work, I usual¬ ly spend time on something impor¬ tant, like clipping my toenails or cleaning the garage.” — Cheri Mitchell Taking time out from working on the Senior Class float.

Crooks Brian Richard Daniels Elizabeth Ann Daniels Having fun yet? A fter the pride came alive and back, many pep assemblies were held to raise the spirit among students. “I like them because it makes classes shorter, and it’s fun watch¬ ing people standup and make fools of themselves,” commented Lesley Cray. Jen Clapper, a sophomore Bee- liner, said, ‘‘I like them, and I like to show school spirit, but I don’t like to perform at them.” Senior Missy Rosier liked them, but felt that “We need some entertainment, instead of the cheers. Like come¬ dians or something.” On the other hand, Mike Laribee felt, “Perhaps pep assemblies would be improved if we avoided some of the senseless cheers, and finally utilized the tal¬ ented speakers in the school. The droning screaming has to go.” Agree¬ ing with Mike, Jonathan Williams said, “I think pep assemblies have lost all semblance of sportsmanship. It shows a lack of class that we must advocate calling coaches farmers and scalping d ummies with ma¬ chetes. The emphasis is all wrong.” Matt Hall seemed to think, “They’re funny. 1 like to watch Pete Meier run¬ ning around screaming unintelligibly into a microphone.” Joel Braun spoke for many when he said, “People at Medina are “too cool” to stand up and cheer, but I personally like to show school spirit and act like a jerk!!” — Chris Ferguson 20 Seniors Are we having fun yet?

But over four years, the graduating class of 1988 learned a great deal. “Dress warm, take your vitamin C or you will catch Senioritis, and be¬ ware of the dreaded table saw.” was Pete Meier’s advice to any upcoming Sen¬ ior. “Don’t get into a food fight unless you like Clayde, and don’t use the commodes downstairs!” advised Sen¬ ior Kevin Anderson to all unexpecting un¬ derclassmen, while John Brooks felt that’, “If you don’t chew Redman, you’re not a man!” Denise Vanuch warned Juniors that, “If you take Chemistry, go see Mrs. Kappa.” Sharon Brown, new to the school last year, commented, “Don’t pick up the quarter that is always glued to the floor, stay away from trash cans, and remember that the ‘M’ stands for Medina.” Trisha Steinkamp shared the views of many when she said, “Take time and enjoy your Senior year; it’s the only one you’ll have!” — Chris Ferguson JvvJL Sv Seniors Guess what Senior Matt Hall decides to share his secret to great card playing.

These characteristics share one common element. Teachers. Exactly how did they help the most? According to Fat Parr, teachers helped the most by, “Taking time to explain material that’s relevant to life on earth.” Mary Leinhos had great insight when she said, “Teachers create a great appreciation for the elusive good nights sleep, and a good teach¬ er helps you understand and appreci¬ ate yourself.” Some teachers lectured and some paced while teaching. Often students learned the most when helping each other. „ Yet Many teachers and students shared s the common desire to educate and be edu- t Cat6C1 ’ — Cheri Mitchell Dressing as elves during the lunch period, Laurie Graham and Teena Brueggeman sell Jenni Karter a Santagram for Christmas.

The next four years will determine the rest of my life, and it is no time to screw around. 1 will have a 4.0 and graduate magna cum laude. I’m serious.” Some seniors looked at college as a time to escape their problems of today. Debbie Bonitz stated, “College will be a vaca¬ tion away from my parents and away from the people in Medina.” Others felt college would be a time to enjoy be¬ fore the realty of life set in. Mike Laribee summarized his feelings of college with, “I expect to explore new freedom and narrow my attention towards one skill that 1 enjoy. The next few years are the last ones, that it’s okay to be sort of crazy. I plan to continue ex¬ ploring that aspect as well.” — Cheri Mitchell A fter graduation, the new alumni will have gone in different direc¬ tions. Some will have found a marriage partner. Some will have landed a job. And some will have opted for the fabled college life. Some of these options were not really believable, so many seniors entertained their own concepts. Lisa Flood felt, “Col¬ lege will be a four-year free vacation.” Shelle Heim had a different view by say¬ ing, “I am going to college and study Making a few future plans, Jigna Thakore uses the phone in the Yearbook room.

Spirit Week is a very important event at MHS which allows the students to show spirit and pride. F inally after four years, the class of 1988 won spirit week. The sen¬ iors gained a total of 167 points. “It was awesome! It’s about time!” commented Homecoming Queen and Stu¬ dent Council secretary Shannon Dun- brack. As freshmen, the class of 1988 placed last, but hope of winning was still alive because of their grade allowed more chances. As sophomores, the class of 1988 again placed last. But, as juniors the last flame of hope began to flicker. As juniors they tied for last place with the freshmen class. But, this was the seniors’ years. They had enough spirit to pull off the victory.

Commons was a seniors’ version of stu- dyhall. Seniors were able to talk, move about freely, and listen to music. Some studied, some slept, and some just medi¬ tated. As great as commons was, it could have used some improvement. It probably could been a little warmer and had more comfortable chairs. Food would have been another added comfort. Pat Parr stated, “Hey, nobody, well not everyone, does homework during commons. I think we need a couch and T.V. or at least at decent stereo system.” The “privileges” accompanied com¬ mons were also questionable. Each per¬ iod’s supervising teacher interpreted the rules differently. A few teachers ruled commons almost like a classroom and some let the students rule. Tory Klein thought, “We should be able to sleep and eat without getting in trouble. Otherwise, it’s really not much dif¬ ferent than studyhall.” Mike Marcellus stated his view on commons by saying, “It’s highly overrated!” Cheri Mitchell “You go to high school so you can go to college. You go to college so you can get a job that pays lots of money. That’s all. What a rut.” — Michelle Merleno Sitting in commons during lunch was Mark Lacy and Dean Effinger’s everyday habit.

I wake up about 1 A.M., and watch Hawaii Five-O. Then I go back to sleep. The most important thing is to avoid work no matter how much you have.” — Jonathan Williams “I sleep my stress away. The more pressure I have the longer I sleep.” Many people were faced with stress from a team sport. Junior basketball start¬ er Matt Sutyak commented, “The stress doesn’t really effect me. 1 just go with the flow, and take things as they come.” — Chris Ferguson “My attitude has changed. I am no long¬ er bothered by trivial matters such as school. ” — Jeff LeBlanc S tress and pressure was a common occurance throughout the year. Many students found time for homework between after-school clubs, practices, jobs, and household jobs. Many students said they faced the wor¬ ry and curiousity to find out their grades added much pressure. Many students dealt with their stress in different ways. Senior Christina Kahl com¬ mented, “I forget about those stupid tests, and 1 go jogging to get out all my frustration.” Christy Friedline had a different outlook when she commented, Clowning around during his com¬ mons period.

A few seniors reflected back, and decided their freshmen year definitely their favorite. Carolyn Hall thought, “Freshmen, be¬ cause everything was new to me.” Lisa Flood agreed with her and replied, “Fresh¬ men, because my sister was a senior, and she and her friends let me have more than the usual ‘Freshman privi¬ leges’.” The majority of the seniors thought their last year, as would be expected, as their best year. Diane Dylinski thought, “My senior year, because we have more freedom, and a better choice of men.” Reflecting back, Michael Driscoll said, “Senior year, because 1 was relaxed and had every¬ thing under control.” Michelle Merleno summed up the majority of the class’ thoughts with, “My best year was my senior year, of course.

Whatever the change was, it’s always obvious who the seniors are. A few seniors felt that their study habits changed. Kathy Estock stated, “I learned to stay up all night doing homework and not be tired the next day.” Some seniors felt that their attitudes changed. According to Mara Chaney, “I learned how to be uptight and hys¬ terical and cynical.” Jeff LeBlanc thought, “My attitude has changed. I am no longer bothered by trivial matters such as school.” The most popular change that over¬ came seniors was the change in their per¬ sonalities.

The majority of the people asked, agreed that the purpose of school is “to slowly drive you insane!” Lesley Cray felt that the purpose of school was “To get in trouble for for¬ getting failing notices,” while best friend Sue Gibbs felt the purpose was “To help Lesley write the ‘J’ in her mom’s name!” Replied Amanda Max¬ im, “School is a place to catch up on the sleep that you missed during the weekend.” Amy Smitley felt, “The purpose of school is to grow and learn about yourself, but still have fun.

School was now the last thing on their minds. Lisa Flood said that you know you have sen¬ ioritis, “When all you think about during class time is how much ‘nap’ time you can get after school.” Many seniors handled their illness in different ways. Some pulled all-nighters to finish projects, and others just went to sleep.

Whether walk¬ ing through the halls or trying to find a seat at lunch, the MHS students had to face this new problem. When asked what a good solution to this problem would be, Kelly Koval stated, “I think they should build a school building for sixth grade to ninth grade. That would help the elemen¬ tary schools and the high school. Even though it’d be a huge building and very expensive, the balance of students in each class would be accu¬ rate.” Seniors at MHS had different feelinc on this mass crowding. Jane Schaefe said, “I hate the crowds of people and the heat and sweat that projec from them.” A different view on the i: sue was Andy Speckman’s as he saic “Our school is like a golf ball. It ha 264 dots on it, and you can’t fit on more on it. Just as you can’t fit on more student in our school.” Julia Marty summed it all up with, “It’ really depressing when my one peri od class is right beside my next peri od class, and I can’t get there 01 time.” While attending pep assembles, seniors were forced to crowd together in order for everyone to have a seat.

Now as seniors, we are paying more for fees than all of those eleven years put together with cap and gown orders, senior announcements orders, senior pictures, and college applications. After 12 years of at¬ tending school we should be given these things. We’ve already invested enough money in our education; we should own the school.” commented Denise Vanuch. book, and lab fees. For instance, if a senior were to apply to three colleges, they would spend an aver¬ age of $75. The required college tests cost around $15-20 depending on the test. Without the test, acceptance to a college was slim. After acceptance to a college, students paid a fee somewhere over $15, depend¬ ing on the college. But, before a senior went to college, they had to graduate which included a graduation ceremony. In order to partici¬ pate, the graduate rented a cap and gown which required a fee of $8. But, along with the gown, one also bought graduation an¬ nouncements, which ranged anywhere from $10 — over $80. Many seniors got jobs that covered the costs of the senior year. But, senior Pau¬ lette Keck commented, “I tell my par¬ ents to pay it, They owe it to me. They’re the one who say the senior year is so important!” Despite the price, seniors agreed that the senior year was worth the cost.

The number one quality boys looked for was personal attractiveness. They wanted someone with sex appeal. A girl who was pretty, dressed stylish, and had an appealing figure. For those who thought boys cared for looks alone, the sec¬ ond highest attraction was intelligence. Tim Pel- ton agreed by stating, “The first thing I notice is the wag she looks, but then again , you can’t have a serious relationship if she has nothing between her ears. Popularity and money scored low also. The most popular places to go out on dates were the movies, back to his or her house, and out to eat at restaurants. Bowling and parking seemed to be less popular dating activities to most teens. Despite the fact some parents disapprove of their children’s boyfriends or girlfriends, most people would continue dating. “My opinion of the person I like is what matters to me, not what mg parents think. said Kelly Brock. “I prefer to date one girl exclusiuelg, because I would rather have one meaningful relationship, then a bunch of little, careless, moneg-spending, useless conversation dates. stated Brad Smalling. Katie Dillion disagreed. “I would rather date a lot of different gugs. You can meet more people, make new friends, and still have time to find the right person for gourself.

Little did people know, fast food was not always the best food for fast times. “Where’s the Beef?’’ It was prob¬ ably on a sizzler or being soaked in high¬ ly saturated fats. A regular hamburger at most fast food spots contained about 500 calories. Add on 220 more calories if you wanted french fries on the side. If you were every dying for a milk¬ shake, you might have ended up just doing so. With 370 calories, a McDon¬ alds shake contained additives such as sugar gum, cellulose gum, carragee, and sodium hexa-phosphate. Frankly speaking, a bun on a run nourishes only the soul.

The “fool” is not to label sophomores as incompetent, but many seniors have admitted to some naivete in their earlier high school years. Being a sophomore does have some benefits, like to those lucky people of the class who receive their drivers li¬ cense, and order class rings.

The mall has been one of the most popular places not only for teens, but people of all ages, for many reasons. There has never been an admission charge. “If you want to buy some¬ thing they most likely have it there, but I usually go with my friends just to scope out the guys,” said Kiley Baker. By having a variety of places to go, the mall provided one-stop shopping for many. Malls have contained video arcades, movie theatres, pet shops, clothes and music stores, and more. Going to the mall had also been an¬ other way to pass time. Mary Cham¬ bers commented, “It is just some¬ thing to do.” The mall has had something for ev¬ eryone. Whether it was an item to buy, food to eat, or just a place to go. — Dana Reynolds 69 Sophomores Shop till you drop Linda Estep Shelly Evans Steven Evans Sheri Faber Kathryn Farley Christopher Farmer Maiya Farnsworth Shannon Favri Kyle Fennell Patricia Ferenc Joshua Fidel John Fife Rhonda Finding Tonia Finke Charles Fiorentino Ralph Fisher Bryce Florian Jennifer Flory William Flowers Kevin Fondale Lisa Frantz Michael Freeman Richard Friedline Jennifer Ganzer Deborah Gearhart Chris George Julie Gerberich Michelle Gerencher Melissa Gerwig Susan Gibbs Andrew Gilroy Amy Girton William Gise Gina Glanc Steven Glaros Stacy Glasenapp Sluing flings A ttending school for 180 days a year could become very mo¬ notonous, without the sched¬ uled vacations. Excluding summer and winter break, spring break was the longest. Staying home or taking a vaca¬ tion were just a couple of the options students had. This was what some stu¬ dents planned for their spring break. “Staying home, and getting my wisdom teeth pulled out,” said Gretchen Lenk. “I am going to Florida to visit my cousins and go to Disney World. ” commented Tom Delac. Davey Scholtz said, “All I am going to be doing is eating, sleeping, playing soccer and playing tennis.” Another Florida goer, Beth Schaefer said, “Our family is going to Naples to a tennis resort.” With more on his mind besides school. Scott Brzygot said “lam going to Florida to lay on the beach and watch all the girls in bikinis.” Rayn O’Cull had a twist from the average vacation. “I am taking a trip to North Carolina to be in a bowl¬ ing tournament.” Spring break was a time to get away from school, and enjoy the free time. — Dana Reynolds m.

A year could have gone really rough when a student thought their teacher hated them, especially when they would get singled out from the rest of the class. Maybe the teacher had a personality conflict. It might have been that an older brother or sister gave them the wrong impression about you. Stacie Doraty stated, “Just because my brother was a certain way then, my teacher takes it out on me now. ” Here are a few sensible tactics, that could have made it easier to get along with a teacher. First, try to sit in the front of the class. No matter how bored, you still looked interested. Sec¬ ond, look at the teacher when he or she talked. Even if you were daydreaming, it appeared you were paying attention. Third, always come prepared. The idea was not to beat the system, but learn to work with it. Remember teachers are human too. So if all else failed, grin and bear it. Try to make it through the year. — Dana Reynolds Sophomores Teacher’s pet 73 Rececca Moore Emily Morell Daniel Moritz Kelly Morton Roberta Morton Bryan Moses Nikki Moyer Ly Mua Matthew Muffet Barbara Neal James Nelson Douglas Nepodal Stephen Nichols Tina Nichols Nicole Normann Dina Nunnari Colleen O ' Brien Ryan O’Cull Chris O ' Neil John Oberholtzer Sharon Obermeier Chris Ocasek Shannon Pandur Mimi Parks Kevin Pate Sangita Patel Stacey Patterson William Paul Terry Peck Jody Penn mm Mimi Perng Nicole Phillips Rick Phillips £ Taking time out from class, Kathy Farley flips through a magazine.

Micky White hates baby¬ sitting. She felt that, “The kids are brats. They never listen, and I do not get paid enough. ” “Every time I make plans to do some¬ thing, my parents go out to din¬ ner. I have to stay home and watch my little brother while my friends are out having a good time,” said Matt McClung. Dana Reynolds Freshman John Yocum babysits younger brother Travis.

Curi- osity rose as he handed a slip to the teacher, who passed it to the victim. The others sighed with relief, but the chosen student, who just hap¬ pened to be you, stared quietly at the piece of paper: Mr. Houghtaling. Im¬ mediately. “Good or bad?” you won¬ dered on the way to the office. The dreaded trip was slow and unsettling. Beyond the curious glances of friends, behind the counter, past the secre¬ taries, you ventured to the door of dis¬ closure. Luckily, you left the office smiling. Just routine, that time. The sole reason for the existence of the office appeared to be to send para¬ noia throughout the school. Messages of “We’re watching you” seemed to radiate from those doors. But more went on behind the counter than was ever expressed. We often took the work for granted that made workbooks, announcements honor rolls, college information, grades, phone messages, exam sched¬ ules, and photocopied worksheets pos¬ sible. Only the concentrated efforts of the administrators, secretaries, coun¬ selors, computer specialist, and atten¬ dance recorder kept our high school lives from being jumbled piles of disor¬ ganized red tape. Counselors, when we could locate them, solved the unsolvable problems. Mom” Wilkinson never failed to give us a hard time when we presented a late excuse. The administrators seemed to watch like “Big Brother” — always there when we thoueht they weren’t, warning about taking hats off in the building, or catching us park in the teacher lot.

Integrat¬ ed Studies “integrates” various sugject areas such as music, art, science, litera¬ ture, and economics. This year the cur¬ riculum includes the history and philos¬ ophy of the Enlightenment and the Na¬ poleonic Era. According to Mrs. Lenk, the teacher of the class, there are many benefits. First, grades are de-emphasized. Sec¬ ond, student responsibility is stressed. Third, and most important, supportive, open relationships develop between student and student, and student and teacher. Mrs. Lenk commented, “This course comes closer to what education should be than any other course I’ve taught. The teacher isn’t some great keeper of knowledge the stu¬ dents absorb by osmosis. Instead, I’m an executive secretary in charge of time management and logistics. Education happens by student discovery and interaction. ” — Jennifer Forster M Mary Jane Brewer Sophomore Composition Sophomore Literature Honors Freshman English Pleasurable Literature Sue Bryenton Basic Freshman English Freshman English Basic Sophomore Literature Sophomore Composition Neil Chesney Speech Sophomore Composition Mythology British Literature 1 Dorothy Elrick A.P.

But not everything is terrible about math, and basic skills are needed in those scary moments when you find yourself without a calculator. Arithmetic knowledge can be used for personal gain in the work force and in the home. You employ these skills when you count eggs, build a shelf, de¬ sign a building, or make a cart. In pro¬ fessions like engineering, math is a must. A good teacher is beneficial, but some¬ times even that isn’t enough. Junior Amy Buck explained, “Even though I’ll probably never use this stuff, it’s important to learn it. The only drawback is that I need a calcula¬ tor for the basic things.” Another junior, Scott Boehnen, summed up the course ' s importance with, “It’s very important because it touches ev¬ ery facet of American life.” — Jennifer Forster fO i .

A stroll among the scattered tables re¬ vealed various activities transpiring. Over in one corner, biology students carefully extracted the ink sacs from their squid specimens. In another cor¬ ner, earth science people sorted through an assortment of rocks to de¬ termine which were metamorphic and which were igneous. Juniors and sen¬ iors in chemistry mixed chemicals and experimented with hydrates. Physics students worked with force and mo¬ mentum. Besi des dissecting squid, biology stu¬ dents also dissected worms, grasshop¬ pers, frogs, starfish, and crayfish. The exact curriculum depended on wheth¬ er or not it was an honors class. Howev¬ er, work in the lab was not always te¬ dious and hard. Chemistry teacher Mr. Swan allowed all of his students to make Christmas ornaments out of glass which they fired and molded them¬ selves. Freshmen in earth science conducted many experiments dealing with those branches of science that study the earth, such as geography, vulcanology, oceanography, and meteorology. Phys¬ ics juniors and seniors tried an experi¬ ment with strobe photography, besides accomplishing many labs dealing with the effects of force and momentum.

History. The very word conjures up images of knights in shining armour, ladies fair, bloody wars and raging royalty. Students at Medina are required to take three credits of history. In the junior year, U.S. History or Honors American Heritage History is re¬ quired. Civics and one of three courses — Human Relations, Hu¬ man Behavior, or Economics — is taken. The remaining credit, which consists of two out of three semester electives: Contemporary World, Afro-Asian Studies, or European Studies, can be taken at any time, but is usually recommended for freshman and sophomore years. Opinions on history varied from stu¬ dent to student. Beth Langol com¬ mented, “History is studying all the mistakes people have ever made and trying not to make them all over again.” Another student, Amy Buck, said, “My defi¬ nition of history is better than chemistry. It’s also a way of avoiding the present.” Allison Kassebaum, a junior, concluded, “Time is simply Nature’s way of keeping everything from hap¬ pening at once.” Jennifer Forster T® 1 Alan Cooksey Honors American Heritage Histo¬ ry Human Relations Jim Davis Afro-Asian Civics Tom George U.S. History European Studies CD cn ■o o Q 2 o cn O o Q d 2 CD cn — : Q CD I John Kelly Contemporary World U.S. History Karen Schmidt U.S. History Human Behavior John Semenik European Studies Contemporary World A.P.

It is a universal language which can be un¬ derstood when words fail. However, many people go through life artistically illit¬ erate; they look without real¬ ly seeing. As art teachers, we strive to help students to see so that they may react to their environment more ef¬ fectively and enjoy life more fully. It is when creativity is combined with knowledge that progress escalates.” — Mr. Libengood hether you brought life into a song, put emotion into a draw¬ ing, or simply enjoyed a show, you were part of the experience of art. Webster defines an artist as one who uses skill and imagination to produce beauty. An artist strives to make full use of his knowledge and combines it with a personal style. Art involves more than learning a craft, but also learning about life. “Music is essential to a person’s growing. It’s a means of express¬ ing himself or herself, a means of creativity,’’ said Mr. Bianchi. Along with creativity and expression though, art involves intense hours of work. Or¬ chestra member Liz Van Rossem said, “Even if I would sit at the back of the section, all the hard work would still be worth it. I enjoy lis¬ tening to it, working o n it, and then accomplishing it. It’s a great feel¬ ing.’’ — Laurie Graham Keith Holliday Orchestra Ray Libengood Crafts I, Drawing, Painting Nancy McNeal Marching Band, Symphonic Band Elaine Vereb General Art 104 Kim Medley, Michelle Kick, and Jamie Smith follow Mr. Bianchi’s direction of Varisty Choir. •a Fine arts A means of expression Jim Cheuvront Tom Kaiser Architecture, Aviation, Drafting Auto Maintenance, Power Engineering, Photography Keith Riedel John Snively Cold Metals, Drafting I, Hot Met- Drafting I, Woods 1, II, III, IV als, Metal Tech II, Welding Jim Dillinger, a £ , ; sophomore, ci contemplates 5 his next step in 5 drafting.

She received a re¬ quest to run the high school program soon after she started to help elemen¬ tary students. In her second year of tutoring, Mrs. Kappa worked all seven periods of the school day. She would also stay after school and had students at her house at night. All classes came to her for help in the math and science areas; she even worked with a few freshmen in college. A counselor often sent students to Mrs. Kappa after they asked for help, and in some cases the teacher directly asked for her help. In order to be prepared for the var¬ ied tutoring needs, Mrs. Kappa studied the textbooks in the summer. She even learned the first twenty-six chapters of Physics. Mrs. Kappa said, “I have to teach many different ways to help the student. If one doesn’t work, I try something else.” When asked why she dedicated so much time to the program she said, “I really like this age group of kids. Also, because they need the help.” Cheri Mitchell and Chris Ferguson +-« 3 O (0 lu Evelyn Fedor Library Aide Judie Frank Hall Monitor Jan Harris Media Specialist Barbara Liezert Aide Clayde Lewis Suspension Monitor Cafeterians Front Row: Mrs. Wetzel, Mrs. Piute, Mrs. Duplaga, | U Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. Jones.

Commented Jennifer Buckloh, “It’s truly a commitment, yet it enhanes the normal school day.” The musicians, under the direction of Mr. Keith Holliday, had a full calendar this year, beginning with a festival at Wooster High School.

It wasn ’t an ordinary show, but it seemed to be accepted well by the audience.” — Mike Laribee rama Club decided to try a � I 1 new twist. Selecting The Ten J W ' ' Little Indians by Agatha Chris¬ tie, a world renowned mystery novelist, the actors decided to set the stage for a murder. Mr. Skorepa commented, “Usually the cast doesn’t reach for the quality of the script, but this year the cast went beyond the quality of the play. ” The play centered around a crazed judge who brought nine well-known people from around the world to a beautiful estate on an island. There he killed them one by one. Laurie Graham commented, “The cast was extremely talented and the audience was intrigued.” The cast included Ryan Glasgow (Rogers), Rhonda Barengo (Mrs. Rogers), Dane Hershberger (Fred Narracott), Becky Masternak (Vera Claythorne), Mike Laribee (Phillip Lombard), Amy Lanc- tot (Toni Marston), Mike Fuller (William Blore), Matt Hall (General Mackenzie), Gwen Druyor (Emily Brent), Bill Yar¬ brough (Sir Lawrence Wargrave), and Katie Palmer (Dr. Armstrong). Only through the many hours of hard work put in by the crews and cast could such a production prove successful. Andy McAllister commented, “Many people devote their time to back- stage crews. The set, costumes, make-up, and lighting are all as¬ pects of the production and with¬ out these there couldn’t be any Sh If — Michelle Elligott Philip Lonbard (Mike Laribee) proves to Wil¬ liam Blore (Mike Fuller) that someone does indeed have a revolver as Vera Clayth¬ orne (Becky Masternak) looks on.

Of course, we behind stage know how it really works. — Mary Sviatko A pplying all the right touches. By dedicating much time and effort to¬ ward productions, Drama-clubbers achieved several feats. Among those were Ten Little Indians , S.P.I.C.E., and West Side Story. Along with those performers who took to the stage in these productions many technical crews participated also. The set crew constructed and beautified the set along with the help of property crew, while the costume and make-up crews beautified the characters. Illuminat¬ ing the stage was light crew and sound crew was responsible for every statement. In ad¬ dition, the publicity crew alerted the com¬ munity of the upcoming production so the ticket crew could obtain their objective. If personal satisfaction alone was not enough, these Drama-clubbers had yet an¬ other way to be recognized. Those who met the qualifications (earning 10 points, where each point represents 10 hours of work for Drama Club productions) were eligible to join the National Thespian Society, which is an honorary national organization. — Michelle Elligott and Jennifer WM Buckloh Members of the set crew busily construct the backdrop for the Fall Play. Involvement was a key word for Drama Club this year as these Drama- clubbers show. Dave Hrencecin, special effects operator of the Fall Play, hammers together pieces of the backdrop. “It ' s always fun being in the productions, but it ' s equally and sometimes more important to work in the crews,” commented Dave.

Marching Band Keeping in step EMERALD SILKS twirling with style “Although guys are not new to flags, Mike and Jamie had a lot of guts to desegregate Medina’s Emerald Silks and I think they had a great season.” — Dawn Druyor he Emerald Silks proved to be I a an equal opportunity organiza- tion by allowing two male members on the line. When asked of his experiences, Jamie Smith stated, “When Mike and I first started, I felt discriminated against. It was really awkward to be the first guys on the line. But we both figured, if any girl could do it, and if most of the flag lines that went to competi¬ tion had male members, that we could do it too. At camp the in¬ structors were guys. I think as time went by everyone made us feel more accepted.” The flag corps has proved itself in other ways too. They began the season by attending the Fred J. Miller Clinic at Hiram College over the summer. After four days of grueling twisting and twirl¬ ing, the Emerald Silks competed. Their hard work and optimism was reflected by the awards of “Most Spirited” and “First Place.” Vykke Lavan believed, “People should see us as who we are, because we work just as hard as everyone else, and I believe we deserve as much respect as any other team or squad in the school. ” Progressing through the season, they performed at all football games and various competitions. The compe¬ tition at Lexington High School, along with the one at Perkins High School proved favorable for the flags with them receiving best flags at each. The Emerald Silks, for the second year, were advised by Lisa Fiedler. “Mrs. Fiedler has considered the silks as a winning group since she first saw us. That’s what motivated her to begin advising us. We don’t consider her as a teacher; we think of her as one of us because she’s so crazy!” explained Christy Russ. Mrs. Fiedler’s leadership, along with that of captain Dawn Druyor, and line- leaders Kari Rabung, Lisa Kenat, and Chris McMillen provided the Emerald Silks with an award winning season. Thinking back on her final season, senior Kari Rabung simply added, “I really enjoyed the past four years in Emerald Silks. I’ve been on flags since my freshman year and when I reflect on the past four years, I am proud of all the accomplishments we have made. It will be one of my fondest high school memories; I’m really going to miss it.” A U — Michelle Elligott Emerald Silks Front row: C. McMillen, D. Druyor, K. Rabung, L. Kenat Second row: S.

At MHS, Mr. Bianchi directed three preliminary choirs to aid in the forming of the skills needed to progress on to Concert Choir. Composed solely of freshmen, Activity Choir concentrated on blending tone, reading music, and producing vibrato. Varsity Choir, furthering their exper¬ ience, practiced intonation and accuracy. Just like Caesar’s Gaul, Vocal Ensem¬ ble was divided into three sections: Sopra¬ no I, Soprano II, and Alto. Comprised of only twenty-five select girls, Vocal Ensem¬ ble offered those a chance to mature and show their personal talents due to the abundance of individual attention. All the choirs performed at concerts throughout the year. The various perfor¬ mances, especially Showtime, featured a variety of musical styles to please every¬ one.

It did, on the other hand, provide me with the opportunity to en¬ hance my musical skills.” — Tony Kobak C oncert Choir is a select group of diligent carolers who were involved in numerous activi¬ ties this year. Along with presenting all the usual concerts, the performed at the Junior High and elementary schools to encourage an interest in choir, sant at the Annual Vocal Festi¬ val, executed intricate choreography at Showtime, and concertized at Com¬ petition. A concert new to Concert Choir’s curriculum appeared this year. It involved the entire membership’s at¬ tending WUAB Channel 43’s television station to be taped for their annual Christmas Show of local choirs. The program was then broadcast on Christ¬ mas Eve. Under the tutelage of Mr. Bianchi, Concert Choir was also led by Mike Laribee (President), Ed Chen (Vice- President), Shelle Heim (Secretary), and Rob Skidmore (Treasurer). While being entertaining, Concert Choir entails very much work at the same time. Ivan Soto commented, “Concert Choir provided the op¬ portunity for me to improve my ‘rapping ’ skills which I adapted to the Latin songs we were singing.” — Michelle Elligott Ed Chen and Becky Masternak utilize their musical knowledge, along with the rest of the choir, to be precise in their performance.

Under the di¬ rection of Mr. Bianchi, the typical top hats and canes routines were set aside for those with a fresh, modern look. The twenty talented dancers and sing¬ ers (plus one accompanist) were all mem¬ bers of Concert Choir. In fact, one of the requirements for this company was mem¬ bership in Concert Choir. The group was then selected in the Fall by the means of a try-out. Along with the new genre of music per¬ formed, Encore purchased new uniforms and hired a professional choreographer, Andy Haines — Ohio State University’s Scarlet and Gray choreographer, to com¬ plete the new look. Under all the glitter lay hard work.

Its emphasis is on modem, upbeat tunes, not all the boring classical stuff.” — Steve Zickefoose S tardusters, a select group of musicians under the direction of Mr. Ciulla, performed mainly for school events rather than in the community. Practicing twice a week at an hour each, Stardusters was prepared for their performances in S.P.I.C.E., Showtime, and concerts at the elementary schools. The members were chosen through a try-out in the fall to ensure the quality of the members. Joel Braun explained, “It’s nice to perform with a group of people that take their music seri¬ ously.” The members included: Ryan Glasgow, piano; Geoff Sternecker, bass guitar; Gary Gifford, John Coin, Jason Blaha, Matt Glaros and Chris Mast, saxophone; Jonathon Williams, Steve Zickefoose, John DeHass, Bill Jerla, Scott Upright, and Jeff Pype, trombone; and Aaron Reber, Joel Braun, Jeff Bernard, Ron Heinz, Dave Hrencecin, and Brian Yarbrough, trumpet. Stardusters participated in a clinic this spring that separated them by in¬ strument and a professional jazz musi¬ cian listened and offered advice.

They realized hard work was vital to achieve. This philosophy was reflected by the attitudes of Concert Band members. Being the stepping stone to Symphony Band, Concert Band required an ongoing dedication to personal perfection and teamwork.

Directed by Miss Nancy McNeal, Sym¬ phony Band practiced numer¬ ous hours. Many of the members have been playing since 5th grade. Along with home practice time, the members met daily to unify their sounds. As section leader of a mighty two people , including myself, I feel I am qualified to give an accurate opinion of symphonic band. Symphony Band is a fun-filled period, if you like playing whole notes for an hour. Playing tuba part is not much fun because you hardly ever get a melody. To compensate for this, my section tends to screw around in band and have fun, but fun is not the only thing we do. We give concerts and go to Contest. There is even an exam. This has become a new part of Band and has created a lot of controversy. Symphony Band provides a good way to start the day because you don ' t have to think very much. — Ken Drobnak — Jennifer Buckloh and Michelle Elli- gott Articulating the right notes, junior Jennifer Shanta and freshman Brenda Irvin play their clarinets to “Mannin Veen”, a song which features the clarinet section.

This year drama club’s spring musical was West Side Sto¬ ry. Based on the typical Romeo and Juliet scenario, this tale exemplified the spirit of gang warfare in the ghettos of a large metropolis. Thir¬ ty-six members constituted the not so small cast. Along with the acting involved in regular stage produc¬ tions, the cast was required to skill¬ fully sing and gracefully execute the dance routines. Providing the twangs and bangs of the musical score, the pit orches¬ tra consisted of student musicians, professional musicians, and an ama¬ teur orchestral conductor. Jennifer Shanta explained the need of the professional musicians by simply stating, “This is probably the most difficult Broadway musi¬ cal score. ” Although Mr. Bianchi, the new vocal department director, had previously only directed choirs, he tried his hand at an orchestra. Directed by Mr. Carl Skorepa and Technical Director (rookie Eng¬ lish teacher) Ms. Shelley Wamsley, the performance was well received as indicated by the standing ovation delivered by the audience. The “techies’’ (often the unsung heroes of drama productions) and aspiring stars spent unthinkable amounts of time in preparing and perfecting their respective tasks. Mike Fuller summed it up with, “Giving up your afternoons, your evenings and most of all your sleep is a hard thing to do — but completing a musical of this stature and the friendships you gain by it — make this time well spent.” Technical Crew Piper Klein.

Instead, the frugal theater- goer invested $3 in a ticket to MHS’s Showtime. Presented in a format similar to that of a Broadway audition, it was entitled “Audition 88”. On the even¬ ings of May 26-28, the footlights shone on the stars of the choirs. All of the choirs participated, consisting of: Freshman Cho¬ rus, Varsity Choir, Women’s Chorus, Men’s Chorus, Concert Choir and Encore. Additionally, the Stardusters (a jazz en¬ semble) provided entertainment. Exemplifying the theme, the stage was set with numerous bodies draped in leo¬ tards, tights, sweats, and tees. In fact, each of the soloists came prepared with eight-by-ten glossies (the standard for a professional performer). To further this notion, directors (played by Shelle Heim, Ed Chen, Matt Hall, and Mike Laribee) commanded the starlets through their rou¬ tines. Accordingly, the aura of a mass au¬ dition was produced. The music chosen was from popular musicals in the 80’s. While the choirs per¬ formed mostly medleys to expose the au¬ dience to a vast amount of “show” music, the soloists sang an array of complete songs. Among the recent, successful Broadway musicals, those honored were: Les Mlserables. Cats. La Cage aux Folles. Little Shop of Horrors. Sophisticated La¬ dies. and Big River. Due to the cast, directors, and last but not least the technical crews, Showtime captivated the essence of Broadway. — Michelle Elligott, Jennifer Buckloh, and Nancy Varsity choir members Kellie Coleman, Katie Lenaburg, Jason Hen¬ drickson, Lori Norvell, Josh Fidel, Mike Ebner, and Chris Morrison paw their way through a med¬ ley of songs from Cats.

Hair styles became slightly more unruly, and tie-dyed shirts were a little more visible. Old peace symbols and trench coats from dark closet recesses found more use than they had had in years. “A fad is something lots of people followed for no other reason but to be like everyone else,” said Andy McAllister. Danny Bors believed a fad was ‘‘something everyone does or follows like little clones.” Such dislike for fads was actually the normal response when students expressed their views on the subject.

Pouring pride into Medina “J like Student Council be¬ cause it gets the school go¬ ing in the fall, breaks up the monotony in the winter and brightens the school in the spring — Megan Fri — uilding bridges between stu- rC dents and the administration, student council managed a full year of projects. One of council’s major projects was the presentation of the movie “Bridges.” The movie sought to help teenagers to open up the lines of communication or build bridges instead of walls. The movie used rock music and teenage stars to get its point across. Besides educational projects, coun¬ cil provided entertaining events such as Homecoming spirit week and the Christmas dance. During Homecoming week, there were lunch-time contests. The students ate bananas, threw water balloons, and rode stick ponies. Council members ran the different contests. The contests and Homecoming assem¬ bly allowed the students to relax and show their pride in Medina High. This was a popular spirit week among coun¬ cil members for various reasons. Todd Herman enjoyed working on the Homecoming committee. He said, “ liked co-chairing Homecoming the most because I got to introduce the candidates and court and an¬ nounce the queen.” The Christmas dance sponsored by council gave stu¬ dents an outlet to relax and enjoy themselves. Student council supported students academically too. Students that made honor roll, had perfect attendance, or became SPRIDE winners received a sundae from council at the end of each grading period. Teachers received recognition through the teacher breakfast and se¬ cret pals. Usually monthly, teachers re¬ ceived a small gift from their secret pal or council member. In December, coun¬ cil members arrived at school at 6:30 a.m. to flip pancakes and brew coffee for the teachers. As in previous years, student council was named an honor council by the Ohio Association of Student Councils. Council members attended council workshops including the OASC con¬ vention. They even put together a no¬ tebook of council projects following the criteria laid out by the OASC. Council had a full year of projects and services to perform. Through their assemblies, spirit weeks, and student and teacher recognition student council kept the pride alive. — Nancy Smalling Pouring orange juice for a teacher, Staicey McGinnis puts in her time at the teacher breakfast along with Debbie Madsen, Gretchen Lenk, and Tammy Kapui.

They showed this by bidding for a buddy at the Buy-a-Buddy auction February 25, at the anything — goes assembly. Key clubbers picked various students to put up on the auction block. These stu¬ dents became buddies for a day to the highest bidders in the school. Some of the students auctioned off were Mark Lacy, Dana Ridge, Shannon Dunbrack, and Matt Hall. For some of the Key Club members this was one of their fa¬ vorite projects. Secretary Todd Her¬ man said, “The Buy-a-Buddy fun¬ draiser involved the most fun I have ever had raising money. ” Key Club provided projects through¬ out the year for the children of the Me¬ dina Community. Two of their biggest projects were dial-a-Santa and safety town. During the holidays children would call one of the Key Club mem¬ bers or “Santa Claus” and tell him what they would like for Christmas. Safety town took place in July and Key Club members had to take time out of their summer vacation to set-up and clean up safety town. Jeff LeBlanc commented, “ Setting up for safety town always allows us to have fun riding the big wheels. Playing San¬ ta for dial-a-Santa was interesting because I got to hear how greedy kids are” In November, the Key Club lumber¬ jacks came out to chop down the fallen trees behind Medina High School. The chopped firewood was sold and the funds were used for other Key Club projects. Key Club also decorated the square for the holidays. The members managed to cover the entire square with pine roping and red bows. These projects and others provided many helpful services and beauty all year. — Nancy Smalliny KEY CLUB Twisting the night away “Interact is a close-knit group which involves the ideas and efforts of all its members. It gave me a chance to be heard. In In¬ teract, you seem to earn the respect of the commu¬ nity; and you are intro¬ duced to the basic needs of people in Medina and what makes the city work.” — Kristen Buesch T he time was 6:00 p.m., the date Friday December 11, the place St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, and the event the Interact dance-a-thon. On December 11 Interact members gath¬ ered together to dance for fourteen consective hours in order to raise mon¬ ey for the American Cancer Society. Sounds of all sorts of music and the pounding feet of Interact members filled the air all night long. During the dance-a-thon, Interact members took turns dancing so no one would get too tired. Some Interact Members ate, slept, or played Twister on their break. Then, at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday De¬ cember 12, the dance-a-thon came to an end. The music stopped and the very tired remaining Interact members stopped dancing. However, all of the dancing paid off when Interact gave the almost $350 they raised to the American Cancer Society. The dance-a-thon was just one of In¬ ternet ' s many service projects. During Thanksgiving, Interact held an Animal Food Drive to help out the S.P.C.A. Interact also helped out as Red Cross volunteers during the Bloodmobile. Interact member Staicey McGinnis said, “Interact does special pro¬ jects to benefit the community, not necessarily the club itself. We have many dance and rock-a-thons to raise money for the America Cancer Society, S.P.C.A., and oth¬ er organizations who help the needy and homeless. This club thinks of others before itself, which I think is really good. ” Interact held some social activities including a hayride and toboganning. “The traditional hayride was the highlight of Interact.

Seeing all the “big” kids along with the squirts makes you feel good that you brought that much more happiness to your new friend and there is one less stranger in this world.” — Spanish Club Secretary, Sue Sency very year little kids got ex¬ cited when Christmas was in the air, for they knew Santa Claus would be visiting soon. The Foreign Language Clubs at Me¬ dina Senior High joined together and helped elementary school children get into the Christmas spirit by having an annual Christmas party. The Christmas party allowed High School students to act as “big broth¬ ers” or “big sisters” to the little kids. The “big brothers” or “big sisters” ac¬ companied the children, during the party, as they played games, made crafts, sung Christmas carols, and, most of all, visited Santa. Even those who weren’t “big broth¬ ers” or “big sisters” got a chance to be involved in the Christmas party. Some students played games such as “Pin- the-nose-on-Rudolph” with the kids. Others were in charge of craft stations where they made Christmas decora¬ tions with the little kids. Latin Club Tri¬ umvirate Kristie Smith commented, “This was my first year explaining and demonstrating a craft, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.” At the end of the Christmas party, a Christmas carol in each language (French, German, Latin, and Spanish) was taught to the children. Then, final¬ ly, Santa Claus (Scott Woodbury) made his grand entrance. Every kid got a chance to talk to Santa. After all the fun and games were over, the big kids and little kids alike had pizza and Christmas cookies together. — Stephanie Bitzer Latin Club Front Row: Triumvirate, C. Sucky; Triumvirate, S.

When you be¬ come elected, you ' re ex¬ pected to put in time to help the school and com¬ munity, which is what a club is all about.” — G.L.C. Historian, Kathy Ferenc t every home basketball or football game you could catch a G.L.C. member selling tick¬ ets. However, this was only one way that G.L.C. served the school and com¬ munity. In the summer, G.L.C. members pulled out the big-wheels and became traffic cops as they helped at Safety Town. Safety Town gave G.L.C. mem¬ bers an opportunity to work with pres¬ chool children and teach them safety rules. G.L.C. was a service organization, but not just anyone could sign up and become a member. Only a certain number of junior and senior girls were chosen to be in G.L.C. These girls qualified by displaying leadership and by being active in the school and the community. Hence the name, Girls Leaders Club (G.L.C.), is appropriate. Treasurer Kristy Ebner commented, “I joined G.L.C. because I knew of all the volunteer projects and do¬ nations the club participated in, and I wanted to be a part of it.” Every G.L.C. member was a secret pal to another G.L.C. member. “One of the best things about being a G.L.C. member is you have a se¬ cret pal who leaves goodies in your locker!” exclaimed Den ise Vanuch. G.L.C. also had a Christmas party as Kristy Ebner’s house. All of the G.L.C. members gathered together and ex¬ changed gifts. The party gave G.L.C. members a chance to get know each other better.

The members of Y.A.R.C. were dedicated to helping younger retarded citizens. By holding dances and parties equal to those held at the Medina Senior High School and the elementary schools of Medina, Y.A.R.C. provided fun activi¬ ties for the students who attended the Medina County Achievement Center. One of the highlights of Y.A.R.C. was a Halloween party. Y.A.R.C. vis¬ ited the Achievement Center decked in costumes for Halloween. At the party, Y.A.R.C. entertained the children with various games and activities including a bean bag toss. Y.A.R.C. also helped the kids get into the Halloween spirit by painting their faces. They were also able to benefit from the experience by making new friends. Working with the retarded citizens, the members benefited from their ex¬ perience in Y.A.R.C. “I joined Y.A.R.C. because I really enjoy helping people! It makes me feel good about myself, and we have a lot of fun. So, we all benefit! Y.A.R.C. allows you to help oth¬ ers. We plan dances and activitiets for the retarded citizens so they can have some fun in their lives. They always get excited when they know we’re having a dance and an¬ ticipate it all week,” said Y.A.R.C. Secretary, Maureen Mino. According to Y.A.R.C.

The MCVC program covered a wide range of professions from cosmetology to truck and diesel repair. The students were prepared for a career, technical school, or college after graduation. In the process of learning their trade, MCVC students served the public and other students. The students support¬ ed and worked in a flower shop, day experience care center, and restaurant called the Four Seasons. Second year cosmetolo¬ gy students also had actual customers come in to have their hair cut. Besides the facilities, Medina stu¬ dents entered MCVC so they could learn a trade that could be used after graduation. Brian Sklenar says, “I came to MCVC to learn a trade and acquire a job in my skill area so I can have money and a place of my own after graduation.” Culinary student Chris Robinson had a similar view. He said, “I wanted to cook for a living and this is the best place to learn. I have only three academic classes and the rest of the day is spent in the lab.” Seventy-three percent of the stu¬ dents that graduated from MCVC went on to effectively use their skills in a job.

A.). F.C.A. served as an organization in which students could talk about their concerns, doubts, feel¬ ings, and faith. Advised by Mr. Mark Loomis, F.C.A. encouraged members to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and made them aware of their relationship with Him. F.C.A. met Monday evenings twice a month holding meetings that consisted of videos, movies, and guest speakers. One movie F.C.A. watched was Fury to Freedom. Carolyn Cassidy said, “The best part of F.C.A. was the guest speaker Gary Coley. I also liked going to the Gospel House.” In addition to Monday night meet¬ ings, F.C.A. ended each week with a Bible study. Todd Jones commented, “Starting a Friday morning Bible study has been a terrific way to end the week.” F.C.A. President Andy Arehart mentioned, “I benefit from F.C.A. by growing spiritually and asso¬ ciating with friends.” F.C.A. provided an environment where students could talk with friends and relate to each other.

Assisting “By working in the li¬ brary, you get to meet new people and help other students find some library mate¬ rial.” — Patricia Cox m t MHS there was a group of A-M devoted students who tackled the task of being a media center aide. They spent their time finding books, reshelving books, and checking out books. A media center aide spent their day surrounded by books. However, media center aides did even more than that. They pre¬ pared the media center for National Library Week which occurred in April. Also, they decorated the li¬ brary for holidays.

As you exit from the ski lift, you pause and get a rush of fear before plunging down the mountainside. Racing down the steep slope you feel your eyes tear as the wind hits your face. After skilled or un¬ skilled skiing, you have made it down the slope and conquered the mountain. Each week, Medina Ski Club mem¬ bers boarded buses for Boston Mills and Brandywine ski resorts. They tried to imitate gold medal skiers Alberto Tomba or Bill Johnson. Tomba had to let loose and show his style to reach the gold in the 1988 Olympics. Many skiers did not quite have the style to reach the gold and instead of¬ ten crashed midway down the hill. These skiers related their worst falls of the season and some were quite a wipe¬ out. Beginning skier Gina Glanc did not quite make it to the first hill. She relat¬ ed, “My worst fall happened on the ski lift. First, some guy missed his half of the chair and sat on my friend, Steph. Then at the top I got stuck in the chair. I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up wiping out two more people.’’ Sophomore Susi Popelars related her fight with the mountain. She said, “I hit a cloud of fake snow, fell and firmly planted my face in a drift of ice and snow.” The worst fall of the year was told by senior Deidre Shivley. She recalled, “I was skiing down a steep slope and going too fast. All of a sudden, my ski was between the skis of a guy in front of me; and we were sliding down the hill together. I was bumped and bruised but okay. The guy I ran into, however, was not happy and told me that there were better ways to pick-up guys.” Nancy Smaliing Flying through the air, senior Doug Tight does a spread eagle over a mogul on north bowl at Boston Mills.

As an under¬ classmen, NHS was always something I looked up to. ” — Mary Leinhos ■F ational Honor Society, also known as N.H.S., is a dis- JL F tinction bestowed upon Medina seniors by Medina’s faculty. The teachers selected seniors to be¬ come N.H.S. members based on out¬ standing character, leadership abili¬ ties, service in school and out, and scholarship. All of the N.H.S. members were involved in several other clubs, projects, and activities. The members also had to have a 3.3 grade point aver¬ age before being considered as a candi¬ date for N.H.S. National Honor Society ' s largest project of the year was during N.H.S. week. Most students realized it was N.H.S. week because their received a sugar cookie during first period. Every N.H.S. member made a couple dozen cookies for the event. N.H.S. also sold green and white carnations to the stu¬ dent body. All the N.H.S. members identified themselves by wearing gold N.H.S. pins. Mike Yocum was especial¬ ly enthused with them. He said, “The little gold pins were one of the best parts of N.H.S.” N.H.S. helped provide the student body financially by heading teams for dollars for scholars. They sent each group to a different sector of town to collect scholarship money for Medina seniors. — Nancy Smalling Denise Chrien delivers cookies to Mr. Semenik during N.H.S. week.

In March, nine students from inte¬ grated studies attended the state’s academic decathlon. They compet¬ ed in ten different categories on The History of Flight.” The Me¬ dina team placed ninth in the state out of 38 teams. Chris Mast and al¬ ternate Mary Leinhos took firsts in essay writing while Kelly Koval placed first in the interview compe¬ tition. Paulette Keck received a sec¬ ond place on the history test.

The com¬ puter team competed in various programming competitions such as the John Carroll University annual programming competition and the American Computer Science League competition. At competi¬ tions, the computer team worked on computer math problems and de¬ signed computer programs. The computer team consisted of four members: Brian Blosser, Todd Herman, Bill Jerla, and Jonathan Williams. These seniors worked as a team for three years, beginning in their sophomore year. Although the team was small, it managed to be very successful in competition. For instance, in the John Carroll University competition the team placed in the top ten all three years while competing against thirty other schools from NE Ohio. They placed third in their sopho¬ more year, second in their junior year, and sixth in their senior year. — Stephanie Bit2er m Computer team member Jonathan Wil¬ liams keeps busy while working on a computer program.

These girls were the locker sisters. The locker sisters spent their time decorating football players’ lockers and other athletes ' lockers. Even though a lot of time was put into deco¬ rating, Kim Orient felt that being a locker sister was worth the work. She said, “It was great surprising them every week by decorating their lockers. They really appreciated it! It was one way to show my spirit for the MHS sports team!” Dana Ridge commented, “ Deco¬ rating lockers lets the team know the students are behind them, and it builds height for the games.” Locker Sisters showed their school spirit by decorating the lockers, as Amy Girton mentioned. She said, ‘‘I decided to become a locker sister because I thought i t was a good way to spread spirit throughout the sports events at MHS.” ‘‘Decorating lockers is a tradi¬ tion, and I’ve always thought the football players should be recog¬ nized — it’s a rough sport,” com¬ mented Kristy Ebner.

(Students Against Driving Drunk) was an or- • ganization at MHS that en- :ouraged students not to drink and frive. February was “Contract for Life’ nonth. S.A.D.D. encouraged students o sign the contracts. These contracts iid not say students couldn’t drink, rhey were an agreement between the student and their parent saying that :hey would call for a ride if he her or nis her ride was drunk. During Prom week, S.A.D.D. took a unique approach to discourage drink¬ ing and driving on Prom. They created “Grim Reaper Day”. On May 18th the S.A.D.D. Grim Reaper “killed” one person at MHS every 23 minutes. This was to symbolize the deaths suffered from drunk driving accidents. The stu¬ dents who were “killed” wore a black armband and weren’t allowed to talk or communicate with others. The purpose of “Grim Reaper Day” was to show that accidents weren’t just statistics, and these accidents could happen to their friends. The next day, an assembly was held for the Juniors, Seniors, and S.A.D.D. members. Barb Eisenhart came to talk to them about her experience with drinking and driving. Barb was a 22 year old and a student at Kent State. However, she was also quadriplegic and in a wheelchair due to being a pas¬ senger in the car of a drunk friend.

Work Study provided the members of the program with job experience and independent living skills. The students later used these skills as waitresses, busboys, cooks, or dishwashers in the restaurant business. One way the students acquired these skills was through their restau¬ rant within Medina High School. The restaurant was open to the faculty and later expanded to classrooms if a teacher made a request. Work Study had a menu of coffee, juice, toast, and other breakfast snacks. Money earned from the restaurant went towards a field trip and parent employee awards load banquet at the end of the year. For their field trip, Work Study stu¬ dents went camping. The trip while en¬ joyable, helped Work Study members develop social skills and independent living skills. The students were respon¬ sible for setting up camp, cooking their own food, and taking care of their daily needs. At the end of the year, the teachers held a banquet for parents and employees or work study mem¬ bers. Various students received awards for their accomplishments in Work Study. — Nancy Smalling PROJECT INVOLVEMENT Official business “I believe that Project In¬ volvement is a very good pro¬ gram, and I hope that it con¬ tinues for the underclass¬ men.

With the help of Mr. Jim Valentine, Project Involvement provided these sen¬ iors with an opportunity to accompany various officials through their daily work schedules. During April 19 and 20, the students experienced what it was like to hold a certain official’s job. They learned the duties of public officials and helped the officials with their work. Of course, the officials were also need¬ ed in order for Project Involvement to be a success. These officials included princi¬ pals, judges, sheriffs, life support team members, detectives, and program di¬ rectors, not to mention many others. All of the officials were in charge of taking the seniors through the officials’ work schedules. Each official was accompa¬ nied by one student for both of the days.

Some of the students work at Sears Surplus, Buehler’s, and other fine establish¬ ments. They furthered their education by transferring their academic skills to decision making and responsibility in the work place. The students also gained valuable job skills such as work¬ ing with money, dealing with the pub¬ lic, and learning how businesses are run. Because the students left school after fourth period for their jobs in the private sector, they earned money. Besides benefiting the students, the community gained from the O.W.E. program. The businesses received de¬ pendable employees and the busin¬ esses and school worked together. Many of the O.W.E. students joined O.W.E. for a variety of personal rea¬ sons. Laura Stansberry said, “I like O.W.E. because I can be home from work early, get my homework done, and get some sleep. ’’Tracey Pandur liked having school and work coincide with each other. She said, “J joined O.W.E. because the day goes by faster when you work half a day and go to school half of the day.” O.W.E. originated in 1969 for the students at Medina High School with¬ out future plans yet made.

O.W.A. boasted 16 members ranging in age from fourteen to fifteen years old. The students attended school half of the day as all other students, but after fourth period, they headed off to their respective jobs in either the cafe¬ terias or utility rooms of the public schools. Others left for private busin¬ esses in town at such locations as Wendy’s, Dale’s Liberty Inn, Discount Drug Mart, and Medina Car and Van Wash. Both the community and the stu¬ dents benefited from O.W.A. O.W.A. students filled jobs from the times of twelve p.m. to three p.m. These were busy hours for the businesses in Me¬ dina. Businesses needed people to han¬ dle the lunch rush, and O.W.A. mem¬ bers filled this need. Students gained experience because they were put in actual job situations. They will need this experience after high school. Don Craig described the benefits of O.W.A. by saying, “I joined O.W.A. so I would know what the real world is going to be like when I’m on my own.” Melinda Payne worked at the Medina Senior High School cafeteria. She said, “I joined O.W.A. to make money and help out at school. ” Being a member also held another benefit, for the mem¬ bers were able to earn some extra mon¬ ey. “The best thing about O.W.A. is the fact that I can make more money than I could if I just worked after school,” claimed Patrick Rue- bensaal. — Stephanie Bitzer O.W.A. student Jenny Butcher sorts some library books at the Sidney Fenn Elemen¬ tary School media center.

Everyone knows that many pic¬ tures and stories go into their year¬ book, but they may not know the other ingredients that made up the final product. Below is a recipe for a suc¬ cessful yearbook.

The recipe takes a lot of hard work and one year to complete. Makes hundreds of yearbooks. The Medinian staff began their year getting organized and racking their brains for a theme. The theme was dis¬ cussed for weeks. Some themes were thrown out while others were added until the editors hit upon Full House. After finding a theme, the staff sepa¬ rated the sections of the yearbook and began the process of designing, writing, and making the Medinian. The year¬ book staff took a while to get into the swing of things because of an abun¬ dance of new staff members. Senior staff members showed them the ropes and explained yearbook equipment. Deadlines were crunch time. The whole staff had to frantically complete spreads, write copy, and create head¬ lines. Photographers locked them¬ selves in the dark room printing pic¬ tures, a very important part of the Me¬ dinian. Once the deadline was completed, however, the staff got a day to relax. The staff usually had a party with the whole staff bringing pop or food. Photographers and regular staff work but very rewarding. Jennifer Shanta commented, “I can honestly say that I have put more hours into this yearbook than any other class.” Senior Mike Yocum discussed his love for photography. He said, “Photography is neat. When you take a picture you are stopping time. One fleeting moment that would have been forgotten can be saved by exposing silver particles to light. A person behind a camera can become a god in a way, by de¬ ciding what and when something should be captured for eternity.” — Nancy Smalling Stephanie Bitzer Photographer Larry Crooks opens his ex¬ change gift at the staff’s Christmas party.

All four staff members spent several Monday afternoons putting together the magazine’s new edition. Students submit “The hard work and dedi¬ cation of a talented staff made the 1988 Monitor the best issue yet.” Editor Scott Boehnen he Monitor, founded to showcase the artistic and literary abilities of Medina students, continued into its third year. The Monitor staff be¬ gan meeting monthly for the first half of the year with Scott Boehnen at the helm. The staff hung posters, advertised on the morning announcements, asked English teachers, and the student body for sub¬ missions to the literary magazine. After the first few months of school the Moni¬ tor had collected stories, analogies, po¬ ems, essays, and personal narratives. Every member of the Monitor reads each story individually and noted their views. Discussions of the stories took up several Monday meetings that became more and more frequent as the year pro¬ gressed. Eventually the stories were cho¬ sen and the process continued to the computers. The staff typed them into the computers and proofed them before they made the final layouts for the liter¬ ary magazine. The Monitor was again self-supporting and raised funds through patrons and advertisements. The literary magazine cost $1.00 so the staff could cover print¬ ing expenses. — Nancy Smalling “You must write in order to be published.” — Ron Hill — Advisor This poster and others were seen all over Me dina High School advertising the Monitor.

I feel like my writing really has a purpose to it now. If I know just one person liked it, then I feel I accomplished what I wanted.” — Laurie Roberts ehind the closed door of room 3016 the clicking keys of Ma¬ cintosh computers and the busy hum of reporters in deep thought filled the air. Many staff members spent their time editing, re-editing, writing, and re-writing stories. Photog¬ raphers were locked in the darkroom and weren’t allowed out until they had finished printing every single picture. Such was the daily routine of the Me- dinamite. The Medinamite worked day in and day out to produce a successful news¬ paper. A lot of teamwork went into the paper for the writers and photogra¬ phers had to work with each other in order to obtain a finished paper. Photo Editor Pam Osborn said, “The best thing about the Medinamite is the staff. The staff becomes a huge family that works (and plays) to¬ gether. ” Many of the students at MHS read the Medinamite: therefore, the staff needed to write about what interested the students. Justin Miller commented, “The Medinamite challenges me to write the best material possible forthe public to read. I am not writ¬ ing for a grade; I am writing for the people.” Along with the writers and photogra¬ phers, there was another part of the newspaper staff that was very impor¬ tant called the ad team. The ad team sold ads to many different businesses to raise the money that payed for the Me¬ dinamite. Editor Laura Graham summed up how she felt about spending time work¬ ing on the Medinamite by saying, “I love spending all those hours in “The Pub. It’s a great environ¬ ment with all the comforts of home to work and escape from the rest of the world.” IV li 1 — Stephanie Bitzer While performing an interview, Teena Breuggeman jots down a few notes to put in her story.

This was the second season in the Pioneer Confer¬ ence and the Bees were still adjusting to new game plans of the opponents. The Pioneer Conference is considered to be one of the toughest football con¬ ferences in Ohio. Coach Jim Dobney described his team. He commented, “This year ' s Bees were characterized by truly a team effort that allowed them to be highly competitive throughout the schedule.” After a first game destruction of Cleveland East Tech 24-0, the season became a long one. However, the de¬ termination to CTA prevailed through what coach Dobney described as “many exciting and hard fought games. ’’This was shown at the close of the season when the Battling Bees crushed the Copley Indians 33-8. — Michelle Elligott Bruce Apple prepares to release a pass while Tom Petrush blocks the defense.

The girls became the Southern Division champs in only their third season of play. They had a twelve-game winni ng streak started with a win against Re¬ vere. The streak ended with a 1-0 loss to Trinity. “Our upperclassmen and returning letter winners matured into fine soccer players. The ex¬ perience we have all gained over the last three years has started to pay off, ” said Coach Santee. The girls soccer team also achieved their best season record with a 16-4-1 overall re¬ cord and a 6-1-1 division record. Their only division loss was in their first game against Wadsworth, who they got re¬ venge on later in the season. The girls’ Angie McGinnis, a fresh¬ man, broke the scoring record this sea¬ son with twenty-one goals. “I was really happy that I broke the scor¬ ing record, and that I did it as a freshman; I hope I can do it again as a sophomore,” commented An¬ gie. Medina’s Sue Sency was selected to the All-Ohio soccer team because of her outstanding performance during the season. “I enjoy soccer because it’s fun, exciting, and because I like the teamwork involved,” said Sue. Shelle Heim commented on the sea¬ son by saying, “Being captain of this team meant the world to me. Al¬ ways remember, the team that won’t be beat, can’t be beat, to¬ gether we can do anything.” This year the girls soccer team was fortunate in having a J.V. Team. They successfully finished the season with a winning 5-3-2 record. “Having a J.V. team was a great learning exper¬ ience for the younger players. They were able to play on a high school level and achieve much success. With the addition of a J.V. team our whole program will benefit in the years to come, ” said Coach Santee. Front row: S.

The team started out winning its first four matches, but then fell and lost their next four or five. Although the var¬ sity squad finished with only a 1-6-0 re¬ cord in the Pioneer Conference, they were able to accomplish a 7-9-0 season record. The team prospered by improv¬ ing much during the season as coach Jim Lavery stated, “This year the varsity team showed great improvement throughout the season. The team was led by a fine group of seniors. Many of the wrestlers did their per¬ sonal best and we accomplished much as a team. It was an exciting year. ” The most improved award went to Todd Yant while state qualifier Kelly Fo- dor received outstanding wrestler of the year.

Year in Review Winning is our only game % CHEERLEADERS HOW “Cheering gives me a chance to cheer on our school and prepare for cheering in college — Robyn Sanginiti S miling through the season, the fall cheerleaders were ready to cheer on the teams for all the football and soccer games. After at¬ tending summer camp for four days at Kent State University to polish tech¬ nique and develop new cheers, they practiced through the month of August to help our Pioneer Conference teams strive for victory. “Cheering for football was a lot of fun — we had a great time!” said Denise Chrien as captain of the varsity football squad. The soccer cheerleaders had the chance to cheer their team to a Pioneer Conference Championship and Great¬ er Akron Championship in over thirty games in all. “Cheering in the rain was cold and its hard wearing your raincoat, ” said Sheri Faber, sophomore soccer cheerleader. However, in spite of things like poor fan participation and bad weather the general feeling at the end of the season was that it was, “a fun experience although challeng¬ ing,” as said April Bricker. “We could really feel like we were a part of the team and school, ” said Tonya Tompkins. Even though the season was fun, it had downfalls. It is fun cheering for winning teams, but teams lose too. “When the team loses, were a part of that loss. We feel it too. We try so hard when the team is down in itself,” summed up Dawn Sears. “It was really fun to cheer for such a great team. I really enjoyed keeping them full of spirit!” said Kim Orient. Throughout the season, the ups and downs, wins and loses, the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction was summed up by Jen Richwine. “The best part of cheering was being a part of the team. Being so close to the team made us feel like we real¬ ly helped!” All of the cheerleaders get into the spirit of homecoming behind Garfield Elementary before the parade by showing smiles.

Even if the team is doing bad, we Sophomore Kellie Coleman gets into the spirit of the pep assembly by cheering for a victory. keep on cheering with a positive attitude.” Varsity cheerleader Kristy Meyer commented, “The key to spir¬ it is never give up, I always try to look on the bright side of things. If we ' re down by twenty points, then there’s always next time.” Allison Davis, a wrestling cheerleader, com¬ mented, “Have a good, positive at¬ titude towards the score, team, and members.” There have been times when the school is lacking spirit. What can the cheerleader do to improve school spir¬ it? Penny Heysek felt, “I think we could improve school spirit by hav¬ ing more spirit assemblies. We need to make the pep assemblies fun for everyone. ” Angie Delsanter, a freshman replied, “The only thing you can really do is try your best to get your friends involved in school and advertise about upcoming school events.” Denise Chrien sim¬ ply commented, “Get people in¬ volved in the things they would like to do.” Cheerleading is also treated as a sport by the Athletic Department as a sport. The girls, like any other athlete, are required to meet eligilbiity require¬ ments. Kim Wetzel commented, “I would like cheerleading to be known as a sport, not just an ‘inter¬ est’. I’d like to see those football players do a toe-touch!” Freshman Darla Fanelli commented, “Cheer¬ leading is a fun sport. There’s a lot of work involved but there’s not as much pressure during a perfor¬ mance. It’s a good way to stay in shape. ” Cheerleading has become a hobby for many who started back in the days of pee-wee football. Missy Mollohan commented, “What I like most about being a cheerleader is being right out there on the court or field, and in a sense, being part of all the action. ” — Jennifer Shanta 1987 — 88 Junior Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders Front Row: K.

Sure, it may be for the research of a history book, but who cares? At least it is someone. Do not think that 1 am ignorant of the fact that no one likes to read this section. I am mature enough to realize that it is not as popular as other sections, like Homecoming or Student Life. Of course, by the time this book is fifty, it will be so worn and torn that the only section still intact will be this one. Ads will go on living forever, haunting those that were too busy to read them. This gives me a certain immortality. So go on and pass up this section. I do not want you to read it anyway. The less you see of it, the longer it lasts. While your name fades with age, my section will live on like nu¬ clear waste. — Jeffrey LeBlanc M The Ad Section’s fan club. r, — ■ ■■ ■■ Lance Co.

Advertisers shouldn’t be taken for granted ometimes getting businesses to advertise can be rewarding yet strenuous. Many businesses will say, “Give me a week to look over the prices, and then I’ll get back to you.” Others just say, “I am not interested.” But, the greatest feeling of all is when a business says, “Sure we’ll go with a full page.” One of the most discouraging experiences was when a manager at Hawkin’s said, “We’ll have to cut our ad down to a quarter of a page since you increased your prices . . . Just kidding! We’ll keep it the same size.” (Boy was that close!) On one occasion, we found that selling ads can also be humiliating. We were trying to sell a faithful advertiser on another year of patronage for our yearbook, when he stopped us and told us the right way to sell ads. He was not very pleasant toward us, but he taught us to never take things for granted, espe¬ cially getting businesses to advertise. Rob Skidmore and Claudia Sucky Medina, A breed apart.

Teachers as well as students seventeen years or older are asked to donate blood to build up the ever insufficient blood re¬ serves. As well as the chance to give blood, the students welcome the op¬ portunity to escape from their classes for part of the day. For the last six years, the high school has donated an average of 350 pints per year. This year, the total is expect¬ ed to top 400 pints, breaking the old school record. In total, the high schools of the nation collect a larger percentage of donations than any single source. Besides supplying blood at the Red Cross drives, student volun¬ teers help expedite the proceedings by working at registration and sign¬ ing up students to give blood. Some students also bake cookies for those who give to compensate for the lost pint. Overall, the pain, suffering and hard work of the blood drives are well worth the effort because of the help they bring to others. We hope this good habit will stay with the stu¬ dents in the future.

While playing in the game is . often desirable, those who are denied this opportunity, because of | I injury, lack of ability, or dwelling in the coaches’ doghouse, easily adapt and thoroughly enjoy the uninterrupted view of the game. Watching a great play develop from the sidelines is thrilling and to wear a football uniform on those nights is a pleasure reserved to only a hard-working few. During the 1987 season, a group of elite, sidelined seniors formed a Friday night unit called “Kelly ' s nook,” named for the incomparable Joe Kelly. The stunning commen¬ tary and thrilling play-by-play description of the games offered by the “nook” further intensified the enjoyment of the games, but sideline maneuvers, such as the “Whirly- bird, became necessary to avoid the coaches, who did not appear to understand the importance of “Kelly’s Nook” to the team. Other members included John “Scoob” Brooks, Rob Pagura, and Jeff “the Rat” Rickbrodt, a junior who will continue the tradition of “Kelly’s Nook if he is sidelined next year. For many, playing football is considered too much work, but spending one Friday night even on the sidelines makes it all worth while. _ MF — Scott Swain — 1 ' J V The Medina City Teachers Association Congratulates The Class of ’88 Together We Can! k - LOCAL • DISTRICT • OEA • NEA 286 Community Section Advertising Excitement Senior football players enjoy their last Homecoming parade.

As 1 rode home, I remembered that there was a yearbook party after school, which reminds me that 1 had not yet finished my final ad layout. I had only to write one final story, a new part of the ad section this year. As always, I was stuck with no ideas or subjects to write about. But, more importantly, 1 was not really finished with school yet, like I had thought. A few days passed and I still had no story. Then 1 realized that 1 would most certainly be the last student in my entire class to complete any homework. Could I have had a better honor bestowed upon me? I began my task with new eagerness, that lasted a good 5 minutes. I fell back to doodling and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. “No doy,” I said aloud. 1 can merely describe my once in a lifetime experience of completing the last high school assignment for my class.

Their buyer, speech and British Literature teacher Ms. Wamsley, said, “It was an experience, and I got my money’s worth.” Buddy bonanza T o help relive the February doldrums and pro¬ mote the mantras of pride and spirit, Key Club held a “Buy-a-Buddy” assembly on Feb¬ ruary 25th. A professional auctioneer volunteered his time to help Key Club get the highest bids possible on the twelve seniors who could be “bought” for the next day. The person making the purchase then had the next school day to have their buddy wear strange clothes, carry their books to class, carry them to class, sing, dance, act like a chicken, etc. The proceeds from the auction funded Key Club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt for the children of Medina. Key Club President Jeff LeBlanc declared, “It was a multipurpose event: fun, frivolity, and philanthropy.” As for his experience being a buddy, Steve Robert¬ son said, “It’s a great opportunity to dress up in a pink tutu and look moderately cool doing it.” Shannon Dunbrack simply commented, ‘7 had the time of my life. ” — Todd Herman O HJ 2 JO r CQ � ■ jjjy Prima donna Joel Braun dances while perched on a commons table in the main concourse.

Congratulations to the Boys’ Track team, and have a good day.” Events this has been your student bulletin. 309 Closing Full of memories VU .f. Medina made certain that none of her students left without memorable experiences. Despite the fact they spent less than 15% of the hours in a year in school, graduates will call this time and the associated reminiscences their “high school years”. These recollections can encompass all school-related activities — not just classes, but also witnessing or being involved in music, sports, or productions. And the time spent out of classes: after school, the weekends, and vacations, was even more time to make Medina memory full.
