Creating Talent Art can be expressed as anything from an abstract form of cloth sculpture to the classic Saturday Evening Post covers drawn and painted by Norman Rockwell. But in Mr. Hunger’s art classes, the students were known for expressing themseves and what their ideas of art are by their drawings, paintings, ceram- ics and other creations. Many or some of them were often attractively dis- played in the halls for all eyes to behold. Mr. Hunger entered many of our stu- dents’ works such as Valerie Comley's copper string art, Carol Craven’s Tigers, and Debbie Speckman’s ceramics, all of which were awarded prizes in the Versailles Pumpkin Show or the Aurora Farmers Fair. Some exceptional works from the junior high and the senior high classes were sent to Scholastic Art Award exhibits in Indian- apolis. It was half time. The crowds were excited. There was an air of tenseness and anticipation as the Milan High School band marched onto the floor to begin their program. Soon all Milan fans rose to energeti- cally sing out our school song. The music, working its powers on everyone, seemed to give fans and varsity players pep for thaf one last needed boost of enthusiasm. Besides half-time shows, the year was high-lighted by contests in which many band and choir members excelled and were rewarded. Concerts were also the results of hard work and a lot of practice.

The Past is Important to Our Future Just about anything from the con- quering of the Aztecs to the assassina- tion attempt on President Reagan were the main topics of our Jr. High through Sr. High social studies discussions. Besides discussion in class, social studies was taught as a learning and a making experience. The junior high stu- dents had projects assigned to them by Mr. Huffman. These assignments con- sisted of making things such as scale model double winged airplanes, string art and Indian weaving. Mr. Thomas, the new Government teacher, also helped keep his students busy with working on tax forms, book work and telling the latest new jokes. Picture yourself seated at a German music concert in Cincinnati, or at a table of a German restaurant in Olden- burg, ready to embark on a taste bud's delight consisting of such dishes as steaming apple strudel!, a chocolate torte, and many other things that are hard even for the German student to pronounce. And where else would you find stu- dents writing children’s books in their studied language but in Mr. Hornbach's Spanish class. Even with all these exciting and inter- esting foreign languages to learn, strangely enough our English teachers Mr. Adams, Mr. Droege, Mr. Hornbach, and Mrs. Mix find that many of our stu- dents still need to concentrate on mas- tering the English language.
