Sliding down to the basket, Jeff Davidson finds himself open for a pass. 2 Opening Ed Hulsey does his patriotic duty every morning. l Push for Excellence “The State started it! Sure, that's right — blame it on somebody else! So what, if it was new state guidelines concerning the use of school time, subject re- quirements, and the number of credits necessary that started the push! Big deal! It was Milan Jr.-Sr. High School that continued to push, to expand, to grow, and to make the 1984-85 school year the best it could possibly be! (Yes, we did the best we could with what we had.) Just think of all the changes that have taken place — the drastic upheaval of the Milan teaching and administrative staff; the many awards and scholarships won by our art, music, athletic, and just plain smart students; the daily doses of homework (sometimes overdoses!) we received; the in- creased feeling of patriotism in our nation; the trend toward physical fitness (Jane Fonda's ex- ercise record nearly won a Gram- my!) the deluge of new and ex- citing titles in our library; the new textbooks for both the English and literature classes; the way our sports teams excelled (win or lose, they were constant- ly pushing . . . mostly for sore muscles and torn ligaments!); even the weather cooperated, providing us with an unsched- uled five-day vacation! What were all these changes, if not a push for excellence? (No obscenities please!) Giving it all she's got, Debbie Hensley sprints The varsity cheerleaders generate spirit down the hall. throughout the crowd. Opening 3 Enter the Student World You are about to enter the mystical magical world of Student Life (you lucky devil!). Some of the scenic attractions in this strange world, where the push for excellence is of utmost impor- tance, include a brief glimpse of our community, a blow-by-blow account of homecoming, Milan's version of Trivial Pursuit, a song devoted to term papers (Yeah, I know, what a waste of music!), a guest speaker (truly an expert) on the subject of homework, and a postmortem of the Prom — just to name a few. Bon Voyage, don't get lost, and — please! — watch your step! Notes of encouragement flow from the band as they make their presence known at the football playoffs. Vicky Kieffer congratulates Terri Bible, the new 1984 homecoming queen. Mr. Huffman orders a Big Boy from the spirit week waitresses with the dynamite legs: Kurt Fields, Roy Baker, Steve Schwipps, Wayne Abney, and David Weisbrod. lammed lockers are no picnic for a spirited, Cyndi Lauper look-alike, Hollee Voss. Student Life 5 ilan Community Supportive of School and Clubs. What? The Milan community is overwhelmingly supportive? They are faithfully dedicated to the schools? Yes! Just think of all the things these people do, all the money they contribute to school clubs and organizations through the purchase of calendars, baked items, fudge and peanut brittle. Wailing for the parade to begin, interested spec- tators start to line the streets. The conquering heroes of 1954 celebrate their thirtieth anniversary in the fourth of July parade. On farm wagons with hay, the senior high band plays another verse. and other saleable items — through sponsorship in lift-a- thons and free throw derbies. And stop and consider all of the band concerts, the art shows, the plays, the musicals the community at- tends — all of the cheering they do at sporting events. The residents of the Milan com- munity are also those who, as business people, not only go out of their way to accommodate the clubs and organizations, but also offer high school students jobs — in gas stations, grocery stores, drug stores, dime stores and fast food restaurants. Most important- ly, however, the residents of Milan pay the taxes necessary to keep the schools in operation. 6 Community Kittens of all colors and sizes are presented for the judges to view. Even odd creatures are welcome in the pet parade in the most unusual pet category. Patriotism shines as the next entry in the parade travels down Carr Street. Community 7 Despite the cold, Karrie Ryan fires up the crowd. Homecoming Is More Than Farm Wagons Boy! Do I have a bone to pick with the local lexicographer! (No, dummy! He writes dictionaries!) Do you know what he — and some of his knowledgeable associates, no doubt — said about homecoming? He said that homecoming meant: in many col- leges and universities, an annual celebration attended by alumni. Yes, I realize that the class of 1934 used our September 28 homecoming for their fiftieth reu- nion, and I admit there were quite a few former Milan students at the football game; but that's no reason to limit the definition of such a complex word! Homecoming means so much more to Milan! It means Spirit Week — five days spent acting nutty and dressing weird (more so than usual, that is!); it means building winning floats and mak- ing teachers participate — as yet another way to wreak revenge for all the tests they accidentally plan for the week of homecoming; it means a chance for Mr. Simon- ton to, once again, interpret the meaning of the term farm wagon. And homecoming means a parade — one to liven up the main street of Milan. Local businesses get free advertising, the floats get an audience, and the queen candidates — in all their ribbons and lace, get a massive dose of butterflies in their tummy and goose bumps upon their goose bumps. Yes, let us not forget that homecoming means a queen, and this year's queen was Terri Bible. continued 8 Homecoming Stephanie Hinkle, Lisa Strassell, Michele Ben- ner, Micky Head, Tern Bible, Pam Hyatt, Paula Meyer, and Carol Driggers are the choices for homecoming queen. Senior twirler, Michele Disney performs at her last Homecoming show. Excitement mounts as the crowd cheers for an Indians' touchdown. Homecoming 9 Student Council uses Homecoming as yet another way to make money. ]enn McKittrick and Beth Platt dance to the sound of Reunion. More Than Farm Wagons continued Along with the crown and title, Terri received a bouquet of yellow roses, a kiss from the captains of the football team, and the ap- plause of her peers. Homecoming — as before stated — also means a winning float, and this year the Class of 1990 secured the first place plaque, the Class of 1987 came in a close second, and the Class of 1988 placed third. Last, and most importantly, homecoming means the football game ... a game which we, unfor- tunately, lost to Indian Creek, 21- 19. But instead of being bitter over the defeat, Milan began to add a new dimension to the word homecoming — pride. Three key Milan players were injured, two of whom came back fighting (and we were proud); Coach Horton was ejected from the game for vehemently protesting what he — and most of the fans — considered to be a bad call (and we were proud); and throughout the game the Milan Indians never — but never — gave up. And we were proud. It could be seen in our faces and heard in our voices as we yelled the words to one par- ticular cheer ... “We're backing our team — all the way! 10 Homecoming John Rohrig escorts newly-crowned Terri Bible from the field as half-time activities continue. Junior, Lee Johnson (75), studies the opposing offense. The front line and the band welcome the Indian Creek Braves. Homecoming 11 Trivia Poses Popular Question Americans are always looking for something new to tease, tan- talize, and entice their intellect; and Trivial Pursuit did precisely that. In just two short years it rose to the top of the best seller list. (What do you mean, there's no best seller list for games?) But in- stead of paying some outrageous price for the original game or the baby boom edition, try Milan High School's version of Trivial Pursuit.

Trivia 13 Amtf Kil linger hears those fateful words: term paper due in twelve weeks. I t's What Students Fear Most The school year brought a varie- ty of homework assignments — book reports, vocabulary quizzes, work sheets, tests . . . and the most feared of all ... term papers. Students were so overwhelmed by them that one enterprising youth decided to write a song about them. (Okay, so it's not an original. What can you expect from someone who works under an assumed name — enterprising youth — indeed!) The Twelve Weeks of Term Papers On the first week of the se- mester, my teacher gave to me: — a term paper due in twelve weeks. On the second week of the se- mester, my teacher gave to me: — two bloodshot eyes, and — a term paper due in eleven weeks.

Term Papers 17 A nd the Show Goes on When referring to Spectacular 1985: The American Heartbeat, there is one saying — though very trite — that applies.. The show must go on. Even though the complicated dance routines changed almost daily, sequins had to be added to the dresses the night before the first performance, there was a shortage of sleep and an over- abundance of pre-show jitters, every member of this thirty-six member cast knew that The show must go on. Even though the lighting and sound crew had only a week to prepare and the Theatrical Fine Arts class was still making last- minute adjustments to the scenery the morning of the first perfor- mance, everyone involved knew that The show must go on. And, even though Lori Prifogle took break a leg seriously but only managed to smash her toe, she knew that The show must go on. But what did they say about having only two boys (who received purple hearts for their bravery) in the cast, going over their time limit during the Friday afternoon performance, not giv- ing the stage band the recognition it truly deserved, and by being in- terrupted by the fire alarm in the middle of the second show? Most simply shrugged and said: That's show biz... For her outstanding performance of Heart Don't Change My Mind, Dara Turner receives a standing ovation from the student body.

The question was, however, was Milan ready for it?

Big Mom- ma (JoDee Lauber) — a woman possessing the amazing ability to get lost in a crowd of two, and Sister Woman (Denise Lovins) — who ain't like the rest because she, fortunately, has an l.Q. that can be recorded ? But, more importantly, was the Drama Club ready to perform this Not allowing Inm to be it member of Ins motor- cycle gang, Carson Mouthwash, (Sieve Sehwipps) returns Grandpappy tWayne Abney) home.

That depended on who was asked. Roy Baker claimed that everybody felt confident while club sponsor Peggy Mix admitted that practices were little more than controlled chaos. There was constantly stuff going on. Roy Baker agreed. The play was, in every way, a success, however. After two per- formances the club came out ahead financially; and, according to Micky Head — better known as Baby Darleen — the cast became more than just people acting on the stage. We became a family, Jo Dee Lauber confirmed . . . just like the CLODS OF HOPPER! Drama 21 22 Prom Juniors Realize Hard Work Is Worth the Effort Everybody that 1 talked to said they liked it ' Alicia Lewis confid- ed. Indeed, it was the cultural ex- perience of the year, easily sur- passing Bugs Bunny re-runs, room cleaning and the Mid-May grass growing contest. Some who par- ticipated even went so far as to say: It was pretty cool (Mark Hosmer); I loved it! It was ex- cellent! (Sarah Fugate); and 1 had a total blast! (Pam Hyatt).

And what a goal it was! Some of the many attractions included: delicious food, provided by the parents of some juniors under the expert supervision of Roberta Bi- ble and Martha John; terrific continued David Eldridge comments on Michele Benner's tuxedo as she returns to the dance floor. Scrumptious delights make their wag onto the plates of Pam Hyatt. Lori Bruns and her date, Mary Leatherbury and Crystal Kelly. Prom 23 A Festive Night ('«••( in f«'i music by Daybreak — a last minute replacement for the originally scheduled band which thankfully, turned out to be one of the highlights of the evening; live entertainment — both on the dance floor and off; a very festive atmosphere (in the words of junior sponsor, Alan Frantz) created by hard work, subdued candlelight, plenty of streamers, and many fun-loving com- panions, excellent service from sophomores David Baugh, Robin Abney, Steve Hoffman, Stacey Johnston, Renee Riehle, Jeff Smith, and Doug Weisbrod; and an overabundance of ready and willing photographers ( Pictures! Everybody was taking pictures — everywhere! added Michelle Freeman). And, of course, no prom would be complete without royalty. So it was up to Greg Lewis and Laurie Ratledge to play the role of King and Queen for 1985. Mr. Yates summed it up quite well when he said Everything was perfect. Then promptly at midnight — when Cinderella's dress turned to rags, her coach to a pumpkin and the white horses to mice — the fun continued with an early, early morning of gambling at the After-Prom casino. Queen and King, Laurie Ratledge and Greg Lewis take the traditional dance to the theme song I Can't Fight This Feeling. 24 Prom Junior clast president and vice president. Missy Cline and Lee Johnson, congratulate l.aurte Rat ledge and Greg Lewis during the coronation Prom 25 Seniors Overcome Jitters and Fears as Graduation Ceremonies Begin The last week of school was a hectic one for seniors; exams had to be taken, books and uniforms turned in, debts paid, graduation plans made, and, for the top three in the class, speeches written. Even the Thursday afternoon commencement practice was hec- tic, with directions being given and then changed and alter- natives suggested. Gay Morgan probably spoke for the entire class when she said — over and over again — This can't be happening. But at three o'clock on the bright, sunny Saturday of May 25 Graduates, Steve Hall and JoDee Lauber pro- ceed outside to the receiving line as the band plays the traditional Pomp and Circumstance. it did happen. The chairs had been set up, the banner — with the class motto: We live for tomorrow — hung, gowns pressed, collars and hats firmly positioned, the girls' silk flowers and the National Honor Society cords distributed, and cards ex- changed. The only obstacle left to overcome was pre-ceremony jit- ters. While some were worried about falling up the steps to the platform, and losing their hats, others were hoarding Kleenex to wipe away the tears they were afraid they would shed. Stephanie Hinkle was not one of the latter. however. This is great! she told a friend. I'm too excited to cry! When asked if she was nervous about giving her speech in front of a gymnasium full of people, Julie Bushorn grinned. I was, she confided, but I talked myself out of it. This is my graduation day and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it — including the speech! The Class of 1985 was ready to become alumni. Which they did — with a few very special moments that will always be remembered. The first belonged to Paula Meyer. Ten com i midi 26 Graduation Graduation 27 Renea Calhoun receives her long awaited diploma. Rising, the seniors prepare to move the tassel from right to left to signify they are official graduates. Reminiscing about the old times, valedictorian, Mike Willhite addresses the parents, friends and relatives of the class of 1985. Posing with relatives, Bill White smiles for a picture. With the diplomas by his side, superintendent Mr. Bloss congratulates Jan Dixon. Feelings of Triumph coni i mn’it minutes before the processional, she was greeted by a round of ap- plause from her classmates for winning her Regional tennis match that morning, which sent her on to the state competition. Hearing Pomp and Cir- cumstance” played solely for the Class of 1985 brought a tear to many eyes as did the speeches given by valedictorian Mike Willhite and co-salutatorians Julie Bushorn and Kurt Fields. We made it' introduces co-salulatorian Kurt Helds' speech. Perhaps the most touching of moments, however, was when class president Kurt Fields called recently resigned principal Robert Gardner up on the stage to present him with a plaque and a sincere thank you” for all the help he'd given them during their junior high and high school years. And no one will forget the ex- hilarating feeling they felt when, with a triumphant yell, the graduating Class of 1985 gave their hats a fling. Speaking with confidence, fulic Bushorn, talks about success and its all important meaning. Graduation 29 World Events Make Headlines Elections 1984 In an overwhelming victory. President Ronald Reagan and Vice-President George Bush defeated Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States. Reagan won 59 percent of the popular vote and carried every state except Minnesota and the District of Columbia. Reverend Jesse Jackson was the first major black candidate for the democratic nomination for President along with Colorado Senator Hart. During the campaign Ferraro, survived the most intense scrutiny of her finances ever given to any Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate. Mondale's attacks on Reagan's leadership record, deficits, cuts in social programs and foreign policy did little to erode the president's popularity. Statue of Liberty A new surge of patriotism evolved as the Statue of Liberty underwent a facelift operation. All costs were paid for by dona- tions from the public. Heart Transplants William Schroeder, 52, of Jasper, Indiana, had his diseased heart replaced with a polyurethane Jarvik-7 artificial heart at Humana Hospital in Louisville. This was the second operation for surgeon Dr. William DeVries who im- planted a similar device in Barnev Clark. An infant identified, only as Baby Fae, survived 20 days with the heart of a baboon after a con- troversial transplant at Loma Lin- da University in California Marble Hill Construction on the Marble Hill nuclear power plant near Madison, Indiana, was halted in November of 1984, due to expense and public criticism. The plant had already cost $2.8 billion and was expected to cost almost $11 billion if completed. A bitter argu- ment was created as to who would pay the losses — public service customers or the stockholders. Ethiopia Drought The worst famine in Africa's history started an epidemic of death in Ethiopia, Chad, and Mozambique which spread to nearly 30 other countries. By November 900,000 Ethiopians suc- cumbed to starvation along with the hundreds of thousands in other countries making the actual count of those who died im- possible. The famine was caused by the worst drought in 70 years and human factors — soil abuse, economic mismanagement, over- population, civil war, and poverty. By sending food, money, and help, the United States tried to aid in the relief crusade. USA for Africa, a pop group made of major recording stars, produced an album called We Are the World and donated 90 percent of the pro- ceeds to the African crisis and ten percent to the needy children in the United States. Subway Vigilante The citizen's right to protect himself was questioned when on December 22, 1984, 5 shots rang out in 8 seconds. Four black youths lay wounded in a subway train in Greenwich Village. Bernhard Goetz was indicted of il- legal possession of handguns. On- ly 7 percent of Americans felt he was wrong in his actions. However, as more facts were un- covered, public opinion changed as his case was resubmitted and he was charged with four counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault, and one of reckless en- dangerment of and one count of 30 World N ews criminal possession of a weapon. Soviet Leaders After a chronic illness, Konstan- tin Ustinovich Chernenko, Gen- eral Secretary of the Central Com- mittee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and President of the Presidium of the USSR died at 7: 20 p.m. on March 10, 1985. Following the election campaigns, Scoll Caudill and Duane Goedl do some research for govern- ment class. The medical report, stated that 73-year-old Chernenko died of heart failure, emphysema, and cir- rhosis, and deterioration of the liver. Only five hours after Chernen- ko's death came the news of his accessor. The Central Committee had chosen Mikhail Gorbachev, 54, as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Insecticide Plant A toxic menthyisolynate gas leak from a Union Carbide insec- ticide plant killed more than 2,000 people in Bhopal, India, making this probably the worst industrial disaster in history. The actual death count could not be accurate because many families cremated the dead immediately after the accident. Gandhi India's Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi was gunned down by two of her own bodyguards. Suc- ceeding her in office, her son Ra- jiv was also the object of an attack. The assassination plunged the na- tion of 750 million people into a major political crisis. Olympics The summer of 1984 pushed a wave of excitement through the US as the twenty-third Olympiad held Los Angeles in its grasp. After grueling competition, the US Olympic teams accumulated 76 gold medals. Scoring a perfect 10 in the vault competition, Mary Lou Retton became another American sweetheart and was the focus of national attention. Exploding Storage Tanks North of Mexico City an ex- ploding fuel storage tank destroyed a neighborhood, killing at least 452 people and injuring many others. NCAA In one of basketball's great upsets, Villanova's Wildcats beat Georgetown's defending champions to win the NCAA title. The 66-64 victory was an ultimate improbability. Under the leadership of Coach Rollie Massimino, Ed Pickney powered Villanova past Georgetown's Patrick Ewing. Superbowl The San Francisco 49's Joe Mon- tana battled Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins in Superbowl XIX. In total offense San Francisco gained 537 years, 326 passing, and 211 rushing, a new Superbowl record for the 38-16 win over Miami. Indianapolis 500 In a March-Cosworth, a 200+ mph car, Danny Sullivan sped into the Victory Circle at the Indianapolis 500. With 80 laps to go, Sullivan's March-Cosworth twitched and spun, executing a 360-degree loop; however, Sullivan still beat Mario Andretti to the finish by 2.5 seconds.

Each Team Had Its Tricks As always, the push for ex- cellence was strong among the various athletic teams (which was evident from the smell in the weight room). Skill, drive, effort, power, determination, pride all were words that came easily to the tongues of Milan's athletes. But it took more than muscles and a six word vocabulary to make the sports teams winners. Each team had its own tricks, — its own methods and strategies ,., and each team had its own successes, some long-lasting, and some pain- fully short-lived. Sports 33 A Kid Will Always Remember Indeed They Were Champions .. . Upon returning home the night of October 12, the Cluster 59 Champs were met by the Milan Fire Department's new fire engine and given a hero's ride through town, reported one newspaper after the Indian's victory over the Tri-High Titans. It was great! enthused team manager Michelle Freeman. At Stumpke's Corner we were met by the fire engine, life squad, police cars — lights were flashing, horns were blaring ... We went through town cheering and yelling. Talk about the thrill of victory! The support of the community, pep band, and adult boosters was unbelievable, said Coach Horton. The fire department leading us through town, all the people in the parking lot — it all meant so much. It was the kind of thing a kid will always remember. No one can ever take the feeling of being a champion away from them. Indeed, they were champions. For the first time in the history of Milan, the Indians went to the state playoffs. And, because of that fact, the defeat dealt to them by Eastern Hancock didn't hurt so much. The big question, though, was How did they get so far? Was it the outstanding coaching abilities of Mike Horton, Ken Hornbach, and Mark Williams that brought the Indians to victory? Or was it the roster of magnificent players — including Mike Willhite, Chris Owens, Pat Murphy, Chad Platt, and Tony Holt who were voted members of the 1984 Mid Indiana All-Conference Football Team? Was it the team's exceptional managers: Michelle Freeman, Ami Furr, Melody Elliott, and Stephanie Hinkle? Was it the ex- pertise of Tim Kieffer and David Weisbrod — the team's official cameramen or of Bill Peanut Meyer, who chauffeured the team equipment to every away game? Well, even though all of those factors played a major role in the team's winning season, they were not the main reason for such tremendous success. No, the In- dians main source of inspiration was the Pointer Sisters ... and their popular hit song, I'm so Excited! 44 I'm So Excited Varsity Football: Row 1 - Melody Elliott, mgr., Tim Kieffer, mgr., Chad Platt, Tony Holt, Greg Lewis, Mike Willhite, Herve Bergeron, Jeff Davidson, Todd Cornett, Michelle Freeman, mgr..

We had a good team, com- mented varsity coach Holly Noel. We went three games in every match, but unfortunately, we would beat ourselves with incon- sistent play. But, she said, I am still proud of our girls. Not only did they finish second in the Sec- tional — but also second in the Conference. Was it the brand new uniforms that made them winners? Was it leadership? No, new jerseys may have added confidence, but they couldn't replace skill. And, even though the team voted Lori Bruns MVP, Chelsa Meinders Most Im- proved, and Melissa White — for her 137 points and 136 spikes — Best Offensive Player, the team ac- tually had no particular leader. We were all just — together, claimed Shannon Bruce. So why were they so successful? Parties — that's why. They had a surprise dinner for the seniors during Sectional, a pizza party 44 We Were Together after the ICA game, and birthday celebrations for individuals. Then, before the last home game, a party was held for everyone. South Dearborn didn't have a chance that night! The opposing point is lost as Shannon Bruce bumps the serve.

Volleyball 37 Seven Seniors Lead Milan to Success Netters Voted Best in El AC Was it because Roy Baker was the very first person to claim the title of manager of this team? Was it that, as Coach Jeff Huff- man theorizes, the seven seniors on the eleven member team were kicked around for three years and finally decided they were go- ing to do something about it. Or was it that the members of Milan's 1984 boys' tennis team made a practice of eating their Wheaties? Whatever the reason, the fact re- mains that those players created a little —er . .. racket by—uh—hum ... netting an 8-3 record. We had one of the best tennis teams in Milan's history, stated Steve Schwipps with pride. The team won sectional by upsetting Henryville 5-0, and was voted best in the Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference. Unfor- tunately, Jennings County ate more Wheaties during the semi- finals and defeated our golden boys 5-0. Overall Kurt Fields, winner of the Tennis Academic Award, said, I felt that we had a great year and I was happy to be a part of it!

You don't know? All right, then, what team overcame their under- dog status to win the ORVC (Ohio River Valley Conference) meet — making Mike Biddle grin and say, Jac-Cen-Del was supposed to win and we beat the socks off of them, and giving Jim Fulton his chance to use another over-used phrase: It was awesome ... for sure! You still don't know? Aw, come on! Surely you have some idea . . . you have no idea . . . Okay, but this is the last hint! What team finished third in the Sectional and qualified for the Regional? and what team was also privileged. honored, and generally tickled to death to have as a runner Nelson Gay, the first runner to represent Milan in the Semi-State meet and who made it to the All Sectional, All Conference and All Regional teams? Ah — the light is dawning! Finally! The Cross Country team also had the ORVC coach of the year, Mr. Steve D. Snyder, the man who spoke these important words: Once we were healthy and had all our top runners together, we had the strongest Cross Country team in the area . . . and our per- formance in the Sectional in- dicated that our team was as strong as the rest of the Southern Indiana Schools. 44 Jac-Cen-Del Was Supposed to Win The bridge represents the half-wap mark as Mike Biddle keeps up his pace.

We were supposed to be getting beat by 20 points, commented John Rohrig, and we were beating them by 20 points. David Voss agreed that the fact that we were the big underdog did indeed make the victory a sweet one. Even though Coach Gene White felt that no awards should be given because, in his words, We are a TEAM, a few leaders, nevertheless, stood out. Mike Willhite felt that it was the seniors who were the leaders. Kurt Fields agreed, Senior leadership picked them up when they needed it. And, of the seniors, David Voss was said to be the leader. As point guard he had to run the whole team and keep up the pace. He was always psyched up, Willhite said. The one — and possibly only — bad aspect of the boys' team was their height ... or lack thereof. But they made up for it in speed. We never matched up height- wise so we had to hustle, claimed Voss. The Indians quickness and leadership was not enough to compensate for the incredible height difference between Milan and Richmond, the team that defeated Milan at the Regional. When asked what other factors had an affect on the team's winning season, Mike Willhite responded by saying: Steak dinners (before the county tourney, before the Sectional, and before the Regional) were a definite incentive!

We Are a Team Boys' Basketball 43 Chandler Is State Finalist Individuals Set the Record Each was an individual — that was what made the wrestlers stand out. Each athlete competed by himself and thereby added his own special touch to the 1984-85 wrestling team. You learn to work with the team, said senior wrestler Roy Baker, but it's also an individual sport. Take, for instance, Jess Chandler — all-conference wrestler in the 138 weight class, second place winner at the Regional meet, and the first Milan wrestler ever to place in the Semi-State wrestling meet. After earning a second in the Semi- State, he went on to the State meet where he ended his season as a state finalist — with a 21-1 record. Then, of course, there's Chris Owens — another all-conference wrestler (in the 155 weight class). The Southern Indiana Wrestling Conference Most Outstanding Wrestler, and a fourth place Regional winner. But why mention just the top two? What about the rest of the team? What about Duane Goedl with his 19-3 record, and David Weisbrod 18-5, both of whom finished in second place at the conference meet and third at the Sectional? And Greg Lewis, who also earned a second place in the conference meet? And Chad Platt, with his 18-6 season record? What about these wrestlers and all the others who, whether they had an outstanding season or not, still helped their teammates by giving encouragement and moral sup- port? Other individuals who great- ly contributed to the wrestlers 8-8 season were the team managers: Kathy Walker, Michele Disney, Pam Hyatt, Valerie Goedl, Amy John, and Lisa Schebler; and, of course, the coaching staff of Roy Adams, Todd Yates, and Mark Williams. 44 It's an Individual Sport Varsity Wrestling: Row 1 — Michele Disney,, mgr., Pam Hyatt, mgr., Kathy Walker, mgr.

The main reason for the losses, according to Coach Steven Gutzwiller, was, Due to poor shooting percentages and lack of movement without the ball. But the season wasn't all bad. They hit the boards well, Gutz- willer said. And a lot of ex- perience was gained by younger members of the team. Some award winners were Debbie Hensley, 46 We Were Great! who led in assists; Paula Meyer, the best rebounder and free thrower; Alicia Lewis, with the highest field goal percentage; and Renee Riehle for the most steals. In spite of their poor record, the team was appreciated. Not only did the cheerleaders decorate the bus for Sectional, but the boys' varsity basketball team also gave the girls a gigantic chocolate chip cookie. And the girls' reserve team, which was coached by David Wall, had a winning season with a record of 9-4. According to Beth Riehle, We were great!

The hitting and fielding all came together, confirmed Michelle Freeman who, along with Michelle Murray, and Ami Furr, managed the baseball team. The guys knew their jobs and they did them, she finished. However, pitching and batting weren't the only important aspects of the game; leadership was also essential. Senior baseball player Kurt Fields was chosen as team captain. He doesn't necessarily get the headlines, but he's done a fine job, claimed Coach Mike Horton. Todd Cornett agreed: Kurt kept us going. Kurt's only comment was: I was the captain, but all the seniors were leaders. A special mention should also go to Todd Cornett, confided Coach Horton. Todd pitched a no-hitter against Madison-Shawe. Michelle Murray agreed whole- heartedly, Todd was always do- ing something good, but you just never heard about it! Pitching, batting, leadership ... what else led the Indians to be undefeated in their conference? Concentration. Baseball, ex- plained Coach Horton, is a game of extreme concentration as is any sport if you want to do good in it. Whenever the team played poorly they just weren't thinking. All in all, though. Coach Horton stated that it's been a special season for us all along. As he watches for a good ball, Tony Holt hits a grounder for a single.

Why did they improve? Why did they overcome their low par- ticipation rate and inexperience? Why did David Baugh, Mike Bid- dle, Eric Riehle, and Steve Schwipps win All-Conference for the 1600 meter relay, Mike Biddle for the long jump and 400 meter sprint, and Steve Schwipps for the 300 meter low hurdles? Why? Because the team was taunted by the familiar words: Records were made to be broken, that's why. And, indeed, records were broken, not the least of which was Nelson Gay's 10:05 minute perfor- mance in the 3200 meter run. Ac- cording to one track coach Todd Yates, however, The team was led by two seniors: Mike Biddle and Steve Schwipps. Not only was Mike Biddle named County Most Valuable Player, but he also placed third in the Sectional and eighth in the Regional in the long jump, and now holds the school, county, conference, and stadium record for his long jump of 22' 8 Vi . Not to be outdone, three time All-Conference winner Steve Schwipps holds the school, coun- ty, conference, and stadium record for running the 300 meter low hurdles in 38.75 seconds. He also placed second at the Sectional and sixth at the Regional and thereby became an alternate to the State meet. A lot of individuals did their best and achieved what they wanted to, stated Mike Biddle. 44 Records Were Made to Be Broken 44 Boys'Track 51 Girls Keep Coming Back They Aren't Quitters Problems with consistency con- the girls' track team — in Coach back.

Tennis player Laurie Ratledge disagreed, however, claiming that practices started out tough with conditioning . . . and practicing in the rain. Leadership was also an impor- tant factor for the team — record of 5-6, Paula Meyer grim- aced. We were better than our record stated — we lost a lot of games by only 3-2, she said. Mr. Collier's only explanation was that the prom and other things interfered with the season; things got in the way of playing tennis. In spite of the distractions, number two doubles team Stacey Johnston and Melody Elliott 66 Practices Started Out Tough although nobody could decide who the leaders were. Some said it was the team captain, senior Paula Meyer. She helped out everybody and kept everybody pepped up, Debbie Hensley said. Others felt that it was the coach, Mark Collier. He was always tell- ing us to be up, confirmed Laurie Ratledge. One of his favorite say- ings was reported to be: the opera's not over until the fat lady sings. Coach Collier, however, said that all the girls showed a lot of leadership. When it came to their season managed to end the season with a record of 8-0 — a feat that earned them the title of Most Valuable Players. The number one singles player, Paula Meyer, was also able to block out the spring distrac- tions and was the only player to compete in the Regional. She not only won in the Regional, but went on to win her first match in state competition 6-2, 6-0. The same afternoon she competed against the two-time state singles champion from Castle High School and was defeated 6-0, 6-0. Is she moves into position.

But the lady golfers didn't let those fac- tors stop them . . . from enjoying themselves. We really didn't care what we shot, claimed sopho- more Renee Riehle. We were just out there for the fun of it. Mari McKittrick, with a stroke average of 62.8, was, in Coach Lockwood's opinion, an out- standing golfer. She was selected Most Valuable Player. Although the boys' golf team had a season record of 1-11, there were still many good things to be said about them. According to senior golfer Richard Maher, the team had a lot of young players with a lot of talent. Indeed, junior Joe Stewart fell just one stroke short of making All- Conference, while freshman Sam Craft missed by three, sophomore Doug Weisbrod by five strokes. and sophomore Jeff Smith by eight. The team finished fifth out of the seven teams competing in the Ohio River Valley Conference. Coach Lockwood said he was pleased with the increased number of varsity players with improved attitudes, and an earnest desire to play the game well. 44 We Were Just There for the Fun of It Varsity Boys' Golf: Doug Weisbrod, Mark Hosmer, foe Stewart, Tom McKittrick, Sam Craft, Jeff Smith, Coach Kent Lockwood. 56 Golf Following through, Tom McKittrick watches for the ball to land on the green.

Those nine energetic girls knew that it was up to them to get the crowd involved in a game, to make Milan's presence known — in the stands as well as in the game, to spread that special feel- ing of pride through the school — and not just during spirit week — through the community, and — most importantly — through the teams. When the crowd is backing you. stated football manager Stephanie Hinkle, you can feel an overwhelming sense of pride, and you just want to win. Not only did the cheerleaders know their duties, but from August to March — whether on the football field or the basketball court — they did their best to fulfill their responsibilities. Is it any wonder they won first place in the competition at the Aurora Farmers' Fair? The junior high and freshmen cheerleaders didn't shun their obligations either. Win or lose, they were always there. 44 You Can Feel the Pride Some South Dearborn cheerleaders help lead the yells at the Regional in an effort to show Rich- mond who's boss.

What word means long hours and little or no pay? What one utterance makes the aspirin manufacturers rub their hands together with glee and the publishers of pleasure reading material frown in frustration? That's right; the word is HOMEWORK. Now, some of you may be ask- ing why such a loathsome, despicable word was ever added to our vocabulary — Why was such a loathsome, despicable word ever added to our vocabulary?” I'm glad you asked that! The most predominant reason is due to medical research. Studies have shown that over 96 per cent of all children in the United States are born with one arm shorter than the other. The only cure that has been found for this curious malady is the daily carrying of The ‘•meli of formaldehyde fills the air as Michelle Freeman and Beth Weber begin the dissection textbooks, note tablets, and folders during the ages of eight and eighteen. Of course, this is not the only reason for homework. Believe it or not there are still a few teachers in existence today who are ornery enough to give assignments simp- ly for the satisfaction of knowing that a few more kids would be missing He-Man, M A S H re- runs, and Dynasty. Okay, now that we know the why of homework, let us in- vestigate the how. First — and most important — you must be comfortable before you begin work; so dig that old, paint- splattered T-shirt out of the rag- bag, and get out those holey sweat-pants that Mom grinned about for a week after she thought she had burned them. Other essential pieces of equipment in- clude: one T.V., tuned into WX1X Channel 19 re-runs; one ghetto blaster, capable of playing rock music — full blast — without shattering anything besides the eardrums; one bag of the greasiest Frito-Lay products around; and a six-pack of Pepsi, Coke, or another equally sugar-ladened, fully caf- feinated beverage. Oh — a pen may also come in handy. The techniques used are equally justified. Some students choose to lug their books home every even- ing to show the world how studious they are; they then pray that their amazing acting ability will help them ad-lib during tomorrow's essay test. Others don't bother to take any books home, relying solely upon their incredible eyesight and last year's speedwriting course. Still other students prefer the osmosis method; they believe that, by merely touching their texts, they can absorb all the knowledge necessary.

German IV students were also consistent. Twice a week during the first semester and once a week during the second semester they could be found in a fourth grade classroom teaching German to elementary students. Spanish students found that as Thomas Jefferson put it, a man is responsible for his own success or failure. Much hard work was involved in Spanish classes3 and grades reflected the amount of effort.

And what on earth is question baseball? The world history class threw a party for Huffman the last day he taught them. I wonder how they're getting along with Mr. Yates now.

S3 Band Tours St. Louis “The following sheets contain extremely important information pertaining to this class. For the sake of your grades, 1 strongly urge you to take these papers home tonight and study them very carefully; there's a nasty rumor in circulation concerning a pop quiz scheduled for the very near future ... tomorrow, for instance. Study Sheet By selling fudge, peanut brittle and magazines, Milan's marching band managed to make enough money to go to St. Louis April 26-28. While there, the band visited the Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium, and the St. Louis Zoo. They also performed at the St. Louis State Hospital, Parkside Meadows Retirement Home, and McCardy Residential Retirement Home. Referring not only to the goodwill tour but also to the concerts throughout the year, Lori Bruns stated: We tried to please our audiences and, while pleasing them, we found enjoyment for ourselves. Among the many concerts that the senior high choir performed was the Ripley County Music Festival on March 29. They sang a variety of pieces including Every Valley, Changing, Changing, and San Antonio Rose. In the words of junior choir member Beth Weber, It was really neat to perform with people not only from our choir, but from other choirs in the area. The choir was small this year with only 22 members. We needed more people to participate, senior member Terri Bible confided, but we had fun with the people we had.

Agriculture 87 They Create the Design If you're thinking of joining the prestigious fine arts curriculum at any time in the future, here are a few things you might like to know. This curriculum includes the Art 1, II, III, and IV classes and the theatrical fine arts class. And, once enrolled in an art class, you become eligible to join the art club. The following is some very pertinent information. Course Description Art 1, II, III,IV — An introduction to the different types of art, the techniques used to achieve displayable results, and a little history of the art world. Past assignments include: Batik Sculpture Stippling Paintings Sketches Wood Cut Prints Silk Screen Prints Pen and Ink Drawings Perspective Drawings Tissue Collage The Art IV class also built a model of the Statue of Liberty for the Art Club float and were assigned to create, design and construct a board game as a final exam. Theatrical Fine Arts — An introduction to the stage, its history and its technical aspects.

Pre-Vocational Education 91 They Stay Busy and Have Fun The Future Teachers of America Organization, whose duty, ac- cording to sponsor Catherine Droege, is, basically to help students who need help, was not as active as it wanted to be this year. Because very few of the members had free time, there were fewer opportunities to tutor students in need. But, said Future Teacher Lisa Schebler, Some peo- ple were a lot of help to other students. Drama Club was very produc- tive, even though we were rushed to put on the play, claimed Steve Schwipps, the club's treasurer. And, indeed, it was a rush. Due to the fact that Drama Club spon- sor Peggy Mix was only teaching during the second semester, the club didn't have many extra meetings or activities. Although that cut down on the number of members, the members were all active. It didn't cut down on our quality, claimed Mrs. Mix. Steve agreed, We stuck together and got it done. JoDee Lauber, Drama Club President added, We got a lot closer as a group. Lori Prifogle, a backstage prompter, said We had a lot of fun. Though often accused of doing nothing more than reading the newspaper for an hour, they ac- tually did more than anyone will ever know. In the course of one period — yes, just 53 minutes — they could hunt up magazines, stamp the due date on as many as 50 books, collect money for fines, hush a group of motormouths, deliver films and AV equipment, run thousands of errands, and help fellow students with trivia questions (not to mention their abilities to leap small bookcases in a single bound). This industrious group of peo- ple was the student librarians. They were a tremendous help to me, commented Mrs. Waehaus, their boss, They did an excellent job. Library Workers: Row 1 — Lisa Emery.

Stephanie Hinkle, editor-in-chief, agreed, adding: Putting the yearbook together is such a challenge because you're under so much pressure to be creative and come up with new ideas. Dedication was also a very im- portant quality in a staff member. Because of the unbelievable amount of work to be done — typ- ing, writing, and selling, picture taking, layout designing — many school nights, not to mention sun- ny summer days and spring break, were spent cloistered in the library, hard at work. It takes perseverance, claimed Mrs. Waehaus, and an unbelievable amount of time and work to put together a yearbook. This is called dedication. I think progress was made, communication-wise, between the students and the council itself, commented student council presi- dent Roy Baker. Not a milestone — he corrected, But definitely progress. Some of their activities included organizing and supervising the Homecoming parade, sponsoring the Homecoming Dance, present- ing the Air Force Band and the Bill Essex program to Milan students, handling cheerleader and student council elections, and sponsoring the second annual blood draw. It was a big success, Roy claimed. Maintaining grades, paying dues, and wondering what to wear on the designated day — those are the things the students in National Honor Society wor- ried about. They were the students with four outstanding qualities: leadership, scholarship, service, and character. This was the first year for sophomores to be inducted into this prestigious club.

They were the students who sharpened their skills and talents, who participated in many clubs and activities, who reached new highs in academics, who cheered on our athletic teams, and who cared enough to display school pride throughout Milan's halls time and time again.

Senioritis was a disease that has, for many years, afflicted youth between the ages of six- teen and eighteen. Case in Point: Milan's Class of 1985 showed many signs of this ailment; symptoms included rebellion, and a carefree attitude, along with the sudden realization that the 1984-85 school year would be the last year they could skip classes, pull pranks, and ag- gravate the underclassmen. Their behavior patterns showed a normal — though mild — worsening as the year pro- gressed. Students became a little louder, a little rowdier, and a lot more excited — all of which showed quite clearly during their senior trip to Indianapolis. They seemed determined to live their last year to the fullest — almost as if they believed their affliction to be terminal. There was hope, however. Research was constantly being done to improve upon the only cure known . . . graduation.

Milan High School students, on the other hand, simply substitute in- termediate for the word sophomore. Yes, in the middle is a very apt description of the Class of 1987. They were old enough to terrorize the junior high, but too young to adequately protect themselves from malicious juniors and seniors; old enough to worry about their future, but too young to do anything substantial about it; old enough to get their driver's license, but too young to worm the car keys out of Mom and Dad, (not even to hold for a moment of reverent silence). And because of the year they had, the Class of 1987 also learned the meaning of another word; intermediate.

It had been an unappetiz- ing dish that everyone called eighth grade. But the Class of 1988 was tired of it; they knew that their taste buds were made for better things. So what did they do? They moved up to the ninth floor of the twelve story education building to see if the rations were any better there. Oh, the culinary wonders they found! As freshmen, they were entitled to a variety of entrees, in- cluding their choice of courses, extra helpings of clubs, and their very first taste of high school sports. (Mm-mmm, good!)

They constantly sounded like commercial re-runs. For example, all their activity and energy — not to mention the fact that they were the class to win Milan's spirit stick most often — reminded everyone of the Pon- tiac advertisements: We build excitement! And the amount of homework brought some comments, which usually sounded like Ford Motor Company commercials: We are driven! But the most important com- mercial comparison concerns their entire eighth grade year, for it was very much a year of anticipa- tion . . just like Heinz Ketchup. Returning from the concession stand, Monica Cline and Molly Richardson search for a warm place to sit.

After seven years of hard labor — ex- cluding the three months off every summer for good behavior — the Class of 1990 finally made the transfer from the elementary to Milan Junior-Senior High School. (Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire!) Although very few were lost in the relocation, everyone wished they had escaped when they saw all the changes. The work was much harder, the cells had more walls, and there were a lot more locks — most of which either didn't work at all, or else worked too well. The most important change, however, was that while the seventh graders were moving up — in status — they were also moving down — in seniority. It seemed that there was always another inmate pushing them around. (The wardens did their share too!)

The year 1984-85 means that I can try to improve my educa- tion and get all out of life I can while I learn. — Christy Bowling It started out pretty bad ... I guess it was changing from grade school to high school. But now since I have gotten used to the high school, I have been doing better. . — Jimmy Lee It's almost like starting over again. — Dawn Swigart It means I can be a Milan In- dian. I can join choir, band, or go in a special program like CHANCE. — Jason McKittrick It means that I am over halfway through school. — Chris Wood Sondra Steuer Dawn Swigart Heather Thompson Becky Weaver Brian Werner Catherine Whitaker Eric Widener Leigh Anne Wilson William Wilson Chris Wood Kathy Yance Seventh Grade 123 staff The Staff Did What? Contrary to popular beliefa Mr. Bloss was not dismissed for refus- ing to stand up during the school song. Nor was Mr. Gardner fired for throwing pizza in the lunchroom. No, Mr. Howard D. Bloss, after five years as superintendent of Milan Community Schools, resigned for personal reasons. And Mr. Gardner left after being offered the position of Assistant Commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA). It was a dream come true, he said. Though Mr. Bloss served out the rest of the 1984-85 school year, Mr. Gardner was drafted into the major leagues at the end of the first semester. Mr. Steve Snyder, originally our athletic director and assistant principal, then stepped into the position as acting-principal and another Snyder — another Steve Snyder — (the physical education teach- er) took over as athletic director. (Are you still with me?) Other staff changes that were made here at Milan were: Mr. John Stone resigned as guidance counselor and Mr. Jeff Huffman — who taught government, economics, world history, and psychology first semester — became our new counselor. The seniors' psychology class was taken over by Mrs. Catherine Droege and Mr. Todd Yates — along with his U.S. history class — replaced Mr. Huffman in government, economics, and world history. Mrs. Peggy Mix also returned second semester to teach secretarial skills office management.

Milan art teacher, Mr. Robert Hunger. Nothing, human or inhuman, reduces the meek, mild, well-mannered staff to ranting, raging, cursing maniacs faster than the copy machine in the teachers' workroom. Mr. Simonton, backed by Mr. Williams, implores the machine to work. 126 Staff staff What Is a Teacher?... What Is a Teacher? What is a teacher? Duh — I dunno.. A teacher is a human being who can instill in another human being knowledge in one form or another — whether through reward and punishment, repeti- tion, or — Naw, man! A teacher is one of those heavies who — Is the main target for all of the practical jokes kids pull — . .And the one who always gets blamed for our bad grades. Homework ... that's their favorite word. Do they care that I have to spend my Christmas vacation getting reacquainted with my immediate family? No! They just keep on giving out homework! Teachers are the only people who can say: Class, you will always be eternally grateful because you learned that 4 [9x- (6y + 5)3] _________________= 1 TT 27 (2 + 382) and actually believe it! A teacher is someone who always looks like he or she took a swig of lemon juice with the Geritol every morning. No, my friends, a teacher — as well as the rest of the Milan staff — is someone who cares about people, who cares about the future, and — most importantly — who cares about the students. A teacher is someone who deserves not only a snappy salute, but also a hearty round of applause for working day after day, week after week, month after month, year after — (well, let's not be too has- ty) — with teenagers like those who voiced the opinions above. And above all, a teacher is a per- son with guts. After all, who else besides a teacher would — will- ingly — get up in front of a group of fractious, hostile students, who are armed with sharp pencils, dangerous pens, and lethal text- books, to try (in vain) to pound knowledge through their thick skulls?

Advertisers Make the Difference Yelling with a Knight cheerleader. ]oe Stewart adds to the volume of the Indian Fans. This is the page to answer all the questions you didn't know you'd ask about the yearbook — and to clear up a few myths as well. First of all, the Milan annual did not magically appear on the front steps of the school. Nor did it fall from the sky, hitchhike, or take the bus to reach its destination. No, the only way the yearbook reached the hands of Milan students was through the hard work, sweat, tears, and writer's cramps of some very dedicated people — the yearbook staff. And, as with everything, a great deal of money was required — before the hard work began. This year's book cost well over $8,000! And, this money was funded sole- ly through the sale of books to students and the sale of ads to area businesses. Without advertisers, claimed Mrs. Waehaus, the year- book sponsor, we would not have a yearbook. Indeed, without their sponsorship, there would be no Push for Excellence.

That 1984-85 school year has taught us much more than factual knowledge, the textbook facts and statistics. We have learned not on- ly how to study — even with blood shot eyes, and how to be a better athlete — in spite of shin splits, but we have also learned valuable lessons in cooperation and communication, competition and compassion, love and laughter, honesty and friendship, pride and humility. This year has taught us to push for excellence — in everything we do. But does it stop now? — now that the 1984-85 school year has ended? No, the push for ex- cellence w'ill go on forever; and hopefully everyone has enjoyed — and will continue to enjoy — their PUSH FOR EXCELLENCE.
