Milbank High School - Kennel Yearbook (Milbank, SD)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1985 volume:

KENNEL Game Prompts Yearbook Theme Each year fads come and go that arouse much discussion. Fluorescent colored apparel, jelly footwear, cropped pants, and the increasingly popular trivia game numbered among the fads and topics of discussion this fall. The “Trivial Pursuit” game prompted national TV commer- cials, local radio contests, and a renewed interest in trivia. To be “in step with the times, this yearbook continued the game of trivia. Answers to future trivia questions might be found in the changes that make up our lives and the world. Changes in our school system this fall included the middle school concept, computerized student schedules, and a computer aided lunch system in the mid- dle school. The community also made adjustments with the addition of new and changed businesses. Adventureland, Milbank Glass Mirror, Karels’ Used Cars, the consolidation of McMahon and Unzen Motors, and the reopening of the Ford Garage numbered among these changes. The new Milbank Clinic was finished, too, during the summer, and along with the new clinic came a new doctor. The state took on a new look as a result of the elections. House, senate, and public utilities commission positions were voted on as well as a few new initiative measures. One measure relating to school concerns dealt with the state requiring schools to open after Labor Day. Topping the headlines on the national scene for many weeks was the presidential campaign. Geraldine Ferraro went down in history books as being the first woman to run for Vice President of the United States. These school, community, state, and national changes were marked important as the school year opened. Though important in the making of our lives, these events may some day be nothing more than “trivia.” The annual staff invites you, the reader, to review the changes that took place in the 1984-85 school year. It also challenges you to participate in the game of trivia by answer- ing the questions that have been provided throughout the book. 1.

With the idea of highlighting this new concept, the middle school students were placed at the beginning of the stu- dent section which follows. Bridging the gap between the elementary school and the high school was the main objective when the junior high was converted into a middle school. Along with the title came numerous cur- riculum changes. With the exception of band and chorus, electives were eliminated. According to the principal, scheduling for these elec- tives was tricky as all of the periods of the day were filled with re- quired courses. As a result, the school had three lunch periods so that the band and chorus could rehearse during one of the lunch periods and eat later. Four exploratory courses, as well as the usual required courses, were required of every student. Each of these classes, which included woodshop, home economics, art, and guidance, lasted nine weeks. A semester of reading and a semester of com- puter were also required of all students. This year the middle school was made up of the seventh and eighth grades. The school will also include the sixth grade and their teachers next year though they will still be taught the tradi- tional sixth grade material.

Terri Peters carries on with her demonstration Using the overhead projector, woodshop teacher Barry Olson demonstrates a point to his students Students Face New Government Besides facing fewer electives and newly added exploratory courses, the middle school students were faced with a new student government. Instead of having class officers there were homeroom officers. New officers were chosen each nine weeks which gave more students a chance to have an authoritative position. The stu dent council was also run this way. Another difference in the school was the emphasis put on guidance. The students had guidance classes and about every two weeks every individual had a conference with his her homeroom teacher. This conference was held to talk over problems students were having and to provide an opportunity to express opinions. The seventh and eighth graders were asked how they felt about the new middle school. Some of their opinions are printed here and on the following pages. We have different student council representatives every nine weeks, and I don t like that. I also don’t like the homeroom class because it’s just like guidance.’ — Colette Peters “The classes are okay, but we have homeroom in the mornings which most people do not like.” — Holly Meyer Maggie Aesoph Thomas Aesoph Julie Amunrud Daniel Berkner Karla Bjerke Ryan Boe Cindy Boehrns Kory Bossert Karla Butzin Daniel Carlin Sonya Cheskie David Christensen Susan Christenson Terry Classen Angela Dahle Sarah Dockter Ginry Dohrer Eric Finstad Eric Rack Shawn Folk A computerized lunch system is new to the middle school Ryan Boe and John Hulberg give their lunch tickets to Mrs Flack, a frequent substitute 6 John Fonder Dana Fordahl Jason Freiwald Randy Fryer Willie Gertsema Jennifer Goetsch Scott Hall Tom Hartman Melissa Hinders Shawn Hofer John Hulberg Stacy Jandahl Michael Jones Daryl Jonescheit Dulcie Karels Greg Kasuske Bary Keith Chris Kieso Kip Kieso Sarah Koch Harold Lambrechts Katherine Lange Chad Lee Dawn Lie be Julie Lindeil William Mews Holly Meyer Kristy Mielitz Vicki Nelson Gregg Neu Angie Olson Shawn Otterson Shirley Pauli Amy Peterson Mike Peterson Jennie Phillips Shelly Putt Lisa Rehn Darci Reynen Jeff Roe Jonathan Ruoff 7 David Schamber Scott Schroeder Ross Schulte Jennifer Schultz Kathy Schwab Rodney Siem Amy Steinlicht Joel Steltz David St. George Troy Strong Kyle Struckman Larry Stubbe Jennifer Thomas Jenny Torstenson Randy Unzicker Christine Van Lith Tony Vanorny Scott Veen Tammy Vriem Tom Ward Chad Wendland Erik Werner Christy Wherry Kris White Andy Whiting Jason Wohlleber Patrick Wood Timothy Zubke Jason Ackerman takes a break at the drinking fountain while Eric Rukstad waits his turn 8 Jason Redmond shows that the library can be used for more than studying Students Make Comments I wish we had some middle school dances.” — Jay Brakke “The change in school is okay, but it's more like elementary school. It's going to be a big change to start high school.” — Carol Stemsrud “It is better when you don’t have just one teacher breathing down your neck.” — Shelly Putt • “I like the new middle school, but it has less time for things like band and chorus.” — Jennifer Goetsch “The exploratories are nice. If you took something last year and you didn’t like it you were stuck with it.” — Anne Koch Jason Ackerman Tamara Adelman Sarah Aderhold Becky Aderhold Amy Anderson Jodi Anderson Michelle Anderson Leann Angerhofer Maty Angerhofer Julie Beetem Peggi Behlings Stephanie Bergan Melanie Berkner Jim Beyer Carrie Block Michael Boeker Joel Beorger Wayne Boerger Doug Bowers Jay Brakke Daniel Bray Lisa Buck Greg Cantine Dena Christensen Mark Comstock Nadine Conrad Bryon Dahle Darin Dahle 9 Paul Dahle Karen Dauwen Marshall Dorsett Sue Ehlebracht Sunny Fenner Laura Fields John Rack Jason Folk Lisa Fonder William Fonder Chuck Foss Darla Fryer Brenda Gertsema Jason Grimley Katherine Grimm Cindy Hermans Kay Hermans David Herreid Vikki Hill Billy Hopkins Travis Howard Scott Johanson Mike Johnson Melissa Jones Heather Jurgens Mitchell Jurgens Mike Kaehler Stacy Keith Anne Koch Tony Konshak Jason Konstant Chari Korstjens Angela Kosier Colleen Kruger Steven Lambert John Larson Scot Leddy Sarah Letze Kim Lewis Scott Lewno Jason Liebe David Locke Doug Loeschke Christy Loy Elizabeth Lundin Tammy Mogard Paul Moidenhauer Sheila Morton Sarah Muellenbach Deborah Myers Heidi Nef Nikki Nordquist Jennifer Pauli Colette Peters Terri Peters Ken Peterson 10 Shelly Peterson Jeffrey Ploeger Scott Popowski James Radermacher Terry Radermacher Jason Redmond Laiirie Rehn Carrie Reihe Candy Ries Scott Robertson Eric Rukstad Robert Sc hank Steve Schank JoJeen Schmidt Susan Schmidt Denise Seehafer Thomas Seehafer Bradley Snaza Angela Steinlicht Kaye Steinlicht Carol Stemsrud Kathy Stengel Richard Stinson Michael Thomas Michelle Thomas Lana Thompson Lisa Thompson April Tietjen Sandy Tschepen Tina Van Hoorn Ken Vanorny Darin Veen Shawn Wagner Jodi Waterfall Theresa Weber Brent Wherry Malea Wigen Brent Wiseman to make projects. The name “Middle School” I don’t really like because it sounds like you’re little kids.’ — Jason Konstant “The one good thing about having to take all of the extra subjects is that now we will be able to know what we like and want to take next year. ' — Laurie Rehn “I don’t really like the way school is now, but I am glad I got to try both the middle school and junior high.’’ — Scott Popowski “I think you should decide what exploratory you want to take. I don’t think they should bring sixth grade over here either because it will be too crowded.’’ — Jason Liebe Jason Ackerman, Scott Hall. Bill Hopkins.

Barry Olson, a first year teacher, taught woodshop and physical educa- tion. Returning to teaching after a period of years, Doris Bergan taught seventh grade math. The art classes were taught by Mariann Astrup. She also taught art on the elementary and high school levels. Last year’s junior high English staff taught the newly required reading and computer courses. Marge Bohn and Carole Huber were transferred from the senior high and elementary schools, respectively, to fill the vacancies made by these changes. Tracy Upton Michael Beare Doris Bergan Marge Bohn Shirley Conraads Jim Hadorn Dale Hofer Carole Huber Lillian Jibbens Jan Loeschke Barry Olson Dale Peterson Bill Reidburn Dave Schwab Vicki Strege Kathy Tyler Brent Wiseman seeks assistance from middle school reading teacher Lillian Jibbens tr+ Freshmen Opt for Music Transfers from other schools added five new students to the freshmen count this year. Kenny Radtke and Rick Van Hoorn attended grade school in Milbank but were absent for the junior high years. Paul Toft transferred in from Grant Deuel and Joel Wendland and Lisa Harms from Corona. Freshmen were required to take English, physical science, math, typ- ing and physical education. Some of their electives included chorus, band, general business, Spanish, German, art, woodshop, home economics, and agriculture of which they were allowed to choose two. Many freshmen opted to take a music course as one elective. Sixty percent of the a capella chorus and about 30 percent of the band were freshmen. These students were the last class to be taught under the junior high system. The next ninth grade class will have been taught under the mid- dle school concept. i Steven Adier David Aesoph Noelle Aesoph Trevor Ahartz Tami Aho Calvin Annett Jackie Barnes Mark Bates Tom Beetem Chad Bergan Jeanine Boerger Tim Boerger Deb Brede Trie la Brook Paula Butztn Peggy Capp David Christenson Paul Christian Jeff Claussen Jason Coester Sandra Cramer Jeanine Boerger watches a video tape in English 14 Kim Cummins Patty DeYoung Ryan Dockter Daniel Dockter Gregg Dorset!

In the annual staff survey taken last fall it was reported that 88 percent hold jobs. Among the boys it was found that only 35 percent were employed. When questioned about their future education plans, 41 percent of the freshman boys planned to attend a four year college as opposed to 53 percent of the girls. About 18 percent of the girls and 11 percent of the boys planned on going to a two year college with another 13 percent of the boys planning to join a military service. Thirteen percent of the boys and 16 percent of the girls were undecided about the future.

One staff member summed up the class as “talented.” This was borne out in the large numbers involved in the extracur- ricular activities. Another faculty member commented that the class seemed to be very outgoing. Upperclassmen observed that this class congregated in large cliques. It was noticed by office staff and faculty that this group had trouble with punctuality. At the end of the first semester twelve freshmen had had in-school suspensions for five tardies.

This was a decrease in numbers as several students moved away and one dropped out Sophomores were required to enroll in world history, English, and typing. They rounded out their schedules with electives in fine arts, business, foreign languages, math, science, and voca- tional courses. This class aroused much discussion among fellow students and faculty. More than one student will particularly remember the male sector of this class for their attention-getting actions. Sitting on a student, spitting on the floor, throwing pennies, and lodging a student under a bench numbered among their antics.

Give those Bearcats a good swift kick,” earned the sophomores a second place rating in Homecoming float competition. Float building was supervised by Mr. Les Bloem and Mr. Dale Karsky, the class advisors. Other after school activities during the year in- cluded participation in sports and club activities. About 23 percent of these students were involved in football, basketball, cross-country, gymnastics, and wrestling. Key Club membership was opened to selected students and others continued their membership in clubs joined as freshmen.

Of the 42 percent who worked, the most common workplace was Ike’s Chicken Shack. Walk- ing dogs and upholstery work numbered among the most unusual jobs. Besides gaining work experience, the sophomores gave some thought to higher education. Fifty-one per- cent planned to attend a four year college or universi- ty. In addition to four year schools, 21 percent of the girls and 16 percent of the boys were considering a vocational school. Also asked on the survey were questions pertain- ing to allowances. The most surprising result to the yearbook staff was the $100 a month allowance received by one individual. 24 Observed by Student Librarian Rick Stengel, Jodi McTague looks through a magazine Watched by upperclassmen, the sophomores prepare to participate in a tug of-war competition Scott Olson.

Four students moved away and three dropped out to bring the final count to 98. These juniors showed their pep by winning many of the yelling competitions held during the spirit rallies. This pep was needed to get through such work as was involved in raising funds for the junior senior prom. Funds were raised through concessions at girls’ and boys’ basketball games. These students were required to take English and American History. They rounded out their schedules with electives of their choice.

Fifty-seven percent of the class reported that they worked parttime, with a slightly larger percentage of boys working than girls. The average allowance for the students receiving one was $9 per week for the girls and $15 for the guys. Results also showed that most of the class plans to attend a post high school institution of learning. This was in direct contrast to the parents of which 30 percent attended college. It was also noted that ninety-three percent of the mothers and seventy-six percent of the fathers finished high school.

Some faculty members described them as ambitious, enthusiastic, and successful in both activities and academics. As juniors these students were faced with pressures to make post-high school plans. To aid in their decision making, students were able to visit with representatives from various schools during Post High School Planning Day and at various times throughout the school year. 31 Calvin Hanson listens attentively for further instructions Scott Manning checks out a book. All-Night Prom Breaks Tradition The 1985 Junior-Senior Prom broke with tradition to provide all-night activities. Following the traditional banquet, grand march, and dance, a movie entitled When a Stranger Calls was shown. Further activities in- cluded a casino room, video games, and an auction. Climaxing the night was a breakfast served by the Kiwanis Club Winners of door prizes were announced periodically throughout the evening. They included Val Woodward, gift certificates; Roger Speidel, ghetto blaster; Bob Hartman, Mickey Mouse telephone, Angie Oltman, Garfield; and Darin Jutting, color television. The evening began with a catered banquet at the KC Hall. Serving as the master of ceremonies, Mr. Bob Hirsch introduced a quartet and an oral interp duet. The banquet was followed by the grand march and dance. Music was provided by “Street. The theme A Knight of Fan- tasy provided a backdrop and set the atmosphere for the evening. Pizza was served near the end of the dance. Prom Chairpersons and their escorts. Jackie Schmidt. Alan Bergquist. Amy Unker, Rich Fischer. Laurie Unzen, and Bob Adams.

Only 57 of the 105 students who were enrolled in the first grade at either Koch Elementary or St. Lawrence were still here their senior year. Though students came and went, the enrollment remained fairly constant up through the freshman year when it stood at 102. With the final enrollment at 93, only 82 of the original freshman class re- mained for the senior year. New arrivals replaced those who mov- ed away, but about 10 students dropped out. During their school years these seniors saw many changes in their lives. As kindergarteners, they adjusted to going to school a half day, and as first graders, they started going “full time. Upon entering the junior high these students learned what it was like to have their own lockers, go to a different teacher for each class, and the necessity of being on time. As freshmen, punctuality was again stressed as tardies were given to latecomers. Many continued the competitive sport ac- tivities they started at the junior high, and they added clubs and other activities to their schedules. Turning “16“ was a major accomplishment as sophomores. The four-lane saw a lot of these students as much time was spent crusin’. Being a junior gave way to a prizewinning Homecoming float, concession stands, class rings, and the prom. As seniors, these students had reached the last stage in their secondary education, and further thought was given and plans were made for post-high life. New experiences for many seniors in- cluded the ACT test, term papers, and government Time guides. 33 The senior class of 1985 poses for their last group picture together. Government Students Select Reagan If someone were to ask what courses the “typical” senior took during his last year, there would be no standard answer as the seniors enrolled in a variety of classes. Some of the classes were science, math, and foreign language electives. Others included vocational electives in the business, home economics, agriculture, and shop areas. Every senior’s schedule included government and English. Government class dealt with the basics of American Government, and students were required to read and interpret the Constitution. The seniors held a mock election in November, and the outcome showed Reagan defeating Mondale as he did on the national level. Honors English was replaced with a similar college prep English course that included English Literature and composition work. World Literature and Basic English were also offered. The seniors progressed from choosing only two classes as freshmen to choosing their own schedules as seniors. A wide varie- ty of electives enabled students to select the classes that would benefit them the most in years to come. 34 Senior class officers are as follows: Kathy Muellenbach, secretary.

The class officers organized the workers, and Mrs. Dorothy Hooper, class advisor, supervised the construction. With the exception of a successful float, it was noted that many in this class did not pursue success in outside activities. About 50 percent were not involved in any type of extracurricular activity, and with the exclusion of sports, only about 25 percent par- ticipated in an activity. It was speculated that this low involve- ment was due to part-time student employment.

Questions pertained to employment, allowances, and schooling. Of the 84 seniors who filled out the survey, 73 percent of them were employed. The average number of hours worked per week was 19. As one might expect with the high rate of employment among the seniors, only 17 percent of them received an allowance. Of that 17 percent, the average amount received was $10 a week. Though unrelated to employment and allowances, the annual staff was curious about how many of the seniors’ parents had graduated from high school and college. Eighty-seven percent of the moms had completed high school and 70 percent of the dads. As for college, only 21 percent of the moms completed this degree while 24 percent of the dads had. The same questions were asked of the underclassmen, and the results, found in the various class sections, can be compared by the reader.

This half day inservice was designed to give the students a glimpse of the colleges they were interested in. Further results of the yearbook survey revealed that 43 percent of the seniors planned on attending a four year college; eleven per- cent, a two year college; and 17 percent, a vocational school. The survey also showed that marriage was in the near future for six percent of the seniors, and six percent felt they would get a job right out of school. The military drew a further seven percent, and the final ten percent were still undecided.

There are blessings to count, happy memories, too And sometimes disappointment in things that we do. There are cups that run over and years that are lean, With bright days and dark days and long nights between But one choice we can make as we carry life’s load If we look toward the sun, how it brightens the road!

With “Nursery Rhymes” as the theme, the September 27 coronation started off the festivities. Alan Schliesman (Ernie) and Roger Speidel (Bert) emceed the evening’s events. Coronation music was provided by the stage band, directed by Mr. A1 Stewart, and the A Capella choir, directed by Ms. Judie Mathers. There were also various skits, based on well known nursery rhymes, to boost team spirit. Miss Deloris Richards and Mrs. Trudy Quail coordinated the coronation activities. A pep rally and a hot dog feast followed coronation. It was cool and breezy the next day, but the sun shone for the parade for the first time in three years. The seniors nabbed first place in the float competition with their float “Give ’Em the Boot.” The Milbank football fans were not disappointed when the Bulldogs defeated the Webster Bear- cats that evening with a score of 16 to 6.

Many hours had to be spent after school in the debate room. Outstanding 5 1 records were obtained by Amy Wibbens and Julie Boerger at the Brookings Bell Debate and at Water- town by Heidi Voeltz and Deanna Zubke. Voeltz and Wibbens had a 5-1 record at the Watertown Speech Fiesta. Boerger placed third in extemp at districts which advanced her to the state competition in Mitchell. Wibbens placed fourth, just missing advancement. Assisted by Dawn Tommerdahl, Doug Tschetter coached both debate and oral interp. Many awards were brought home during this year’s fall in- terp season. Angie Oltman led the squad by earning a first at regionals and an excellent at the state meet. She also received a first in humorous at Northern State College in Aberdeen. Rich Fischer and Amy Unker placed second in duet, and Roger Speidel received third in serious prose at the same meet. At the Clear Lake meet Speidel placed third in both poetry and serious prose, and Jodi Olson and Monica Meyer took fifth in duet.

Several superior awards were received by the state one-act cast for their version of the play, “Baby With the Bathwater.” Superior acting awards were won by Kristen Tibben, Roger Speidel, Paul Buisker, and Angie Oltman at both the regional and state levels. The play itself was also rated superior at both levels of competition. The award-winning play began with new parents gazing at their baby, too polite to check its sex. They decided the child was a girl and named it Daisy. This led to future emotional and personality problems when it was learned that Daisy was ac- tually a boy. The award-winning play was performed for the public along with two other one-act plays, “The Autograph Hound” and ‘Magic Theatre I.” “The Autograph Hound” was a humorous play which took a look at obsessive celebrity-chasers who find their meaning in life through collecting autographs. A children s show, “Magic Theatre I,” celebrated the joys and dilemmas of childhood’s anarchy. Director Donna Reidburn was assisted by student directors Susan Thomas, Pam Finstad, Kris Horn, Lori Schwenn, and Scott Manning.

This play, about an invisible rabbit seen only by Elwood P. Dowd, was directed by Donna Reidburn. Assistants to the director included Julie Boerger, Angie Richardt, and Susan Thomas. Elwood P. Dowd lived with his sister. Veta Louise Simmons and his niece. Myrtle Mae Simmons. Veta and Myrtle suspected Elwood of being mentally ill because he was the only one who could see Harvey, and they attempted to put him into an institu- tion. The attempt backfired and Veta Louise ended up in the in- stitution instead. The institution, realizing its mistake, released Veta. The doctor had a drug that would make Elwood forget all about Harvey, but when he was about to administer it, Veta stop- ped him. She said that Elwood was kind and generous around Harvey, and she didn’t want him to change. Elwood, Veta. and Myrtle pose for a family portrait Myrtle Mae Simmons . . CAST Veta Louise Simmons . .

The play was made up of a series of vignettes, songs, and dances per- formed by the familiar characters of the Peanuts comic strip. Donna Reidburn was assisted by Choral Director Judie Mathers and Band Director A1 Stewart. Woodstock tells Snoopy about how he has fallen in love with a worm Summer Delivery Expands Book; Cuts Costs After many years of enjoying a spring delivered book, the Ken- nel staff broke with tradition and went to a summer delivery. This delivery change let the seniors have their photos taken later, allowed the entire book to be bound, cut publication costs so that students were not charged more, allowed events to take place before their pages were due at the publishers, and relieved the staff of early deadlines. This change, like many changes, was met with mixed feelings. With the additional time allowed to the staff, sixteen pages were added to the book. This replaced the usual 96 bound pages with the 16 page supplement. The additional pages allowed for the expansion of the academic, middle school, and sports sections. At the end of the year, the students who had participated in the yearbook, newspaper, band, chorus, drama, debate, and oral interp were recognized at a special awards ceremony. For the fourth year in a row, a new publishing company printed the Kennel. Taylor Publishing was awarded the contract.

The Bulldog was part of this new project and had several articles published. Miss Hassinger found that being the advisor for a high school newspaper for the first time required a lot of hard work. She com- mented, “Our staff is made up of hardworking girls, but it would be beneficial to have non-staff students write articles for the paper, too.” A problem the staff encountered was finding time allotments for the staff to work together. During the year the Bulldog staff put out six newspapers, two of which were double issues.

The members started out the year by building a float entitled “Rockin’ Away with a Victory” for the Homecoming parade. For Christmas the AFS Club sold Advent calendars, and for Valen- tine’s Day, heart-shaped suckers with foreign language slogans. For further funds, the club sponsored a New Year’s dance after Christmas vacation and sold concessions at the track meets. During Foreign Language Week in March, the AFS Club spon- sored a week of activities promoting the German and Spanish languages. Each day students from the Spanish and German classes read the menu and a trivia question over the intercom in their respective languages. A voting booth was open all week for a Mr and Ms. Legs Contest. At the end of the week, a unity volleyball game was played in the gym, and Mr. Nelson and Miss Richards were named Mr. and Ms. Legs.

Another change in the Girls’ State program was the location. For the first time since its incep- tion, Girls’ State was not hosted by Dakota Wesleyan in Mitchell; the site was set in Brook- ings at SDSU. Boys’ State remained at Nor them State College in Aberdeen, and five boys attended from Milbank. The'Girls’ and Boys’ Staters were chosen by the American Legion Auxiliary and American Legion, respectively. Other students recognized for achievement were inducted into the National Honor Society. Using a hospital theme, the new inductees entered the society on April 30. These “interns” had to possess the symptons of leadership, service, scholarship, and character.

Help- ing the team place fourth at state were Kim Poel with a second place; Bryan Schmidt, third; Scott Pinkert, fourth; and Jacque Frazee, fourth. Coach Upton made the following comments on the season. “When we began the year with only two regular starters returning, I thought we were in for a long season. At first it was. We went 1-4 in our first tourna- ment duals, losing to good teams, but still losing. As the year progressed, though, we found ourselves improving and being more competitive. I think this was due to a very positive attitude and outstanding leader- ship from within the ranks of the team. Finishing fourth in the state was a reward that this team deserved. For me, it was the most satisfying year of coaching yet. Scott Pinkert attempts to break down his opponent Wrestling Cheerleaders: Stacey Nelson, Kim Tschepen, Lynn Peters.

For example, Sarah Dockter competed in the floor exercises as a varsity gymnast and in the other events at the junior varsity level. • • • • TRIVIA QUESTION: Which country placed third as a gymnastics team (women’s) behind Rumania and the United States in the 1984 Summer Olympics?
