During intermission at a Girls' Basketball Game, Tracy Bear and Amy Kilian join other students in the M Room waiting for the second half to begin. After looking at the halls, people, rooms, and activities of MHS, the 1987 M-Book staff decided that the time had come to take our hats off to MHS. We wanted to keep alive the memory of the little aspects of high school life which are usually forgotten. We chose our theme to center around highlighting not only the school year, but also tiny details which have made the students of MHS who and what they are. In different ways, everyone takes his hat off to MHS. Some because they feel school is great and others because they are happy to say good-bye. As grade schoolers, we spent much time taking our hats off to MHS by spending long hours anticipating the homework, freedoms and social life which would become ours when we crossed the arch into MHS. When we graduate, we will take off our hats by looking back upon our days with a reminiscent air. True, for some it will be five minutes after tassel-turning while others will take twenty or thirty years, but, despite the time difference, we will all at some time turn our memories back to MHS with a sigh. The staff decided to use the 1987 M-Book to take our hats off to you — the individual members of MHS. By adding your input and presence here, you have determined part of the Monroe High School character. So, here's to you — we salute students, teachers, and support people by Taking Off Our Hats to MHS!!!

The symptoms of this terrible condition include falling asleep in interesting classes, dark circles under the eyes, and numb brains. So what causes this disease? Working until close at a fast food place, going to three meetings in one night, rehearsing until late hours, writing essays until two in the morning, reading a five hundred page novel in one night or just staying out with friends too late. All of these factors lead to the dreadful deadbeat doldrum syndrome. The plain fact is that students are too busy. They try to cram so much into one day that they exhaust themselves. However, at times, they have no desire to do anything but laze around, but instead they are forced into long hours by teachers, bosses, coaches, parents and advisors. Can a student choose to avoid this problem? Well, he can drop out of society to become a T.V. junkie who bloats on food. However, most students seem to add more hours to their lives by becoming more active. Most students are never able to overcome the disease until the day of graduation. Then, reality hits them — they are depressed because they have nothing to do. High school life is a no win situation which ends up with zombie students who have the deadbeat doldrum syndrome. To all students who have ever experienced the deadbeat doldrums, we take our hats off to you! 6 STUDENT LIFE Duringthe half lime of a basketball game, Andrew Turner and Todd Nelson exhibit t shirts which support KUN DMC.

The Friday night home football game, dubbed the Cheese Bowl , brought the Cheese Days co-queens Michelle Kundert and Wendi Gelbach, both 1984 graduates of MHS, out to see the victory over Sauk Prairie. Many activities were also held on Saturday to keep Monroe residents and tourists busy. The Cheese Days Chase, biking tours, a cow-milking contest, the children's costume parade, and the art fair at the MAAC provided different events for all to enjoy. Although rain showers dotted Monroe during the day, the street dance with music from the Horsefeathers was a success. The dance was geared for the younger generation. The cheese Days Chase was held on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Matt Inman is just one of the many people who participated in the 5K race, which remained in town.

Offering a concert to the parade enthusiasts was the UW-Platteville Marching Band which included a few graduates of MHS. Along with all of these festivities were the many booths surrounding the whole downtown area of Monroe. Dairy foods, cheese curds, cream puffs, and many souvenirs were sold also. Cheese Days 1986 was again a huge success and will continue its success in years to come. Jan Benkert, Executive Secretary of Cheese Days Inc., summed it up best when she said, Even though the weather wasn't the most cooperative, the enthusiasm never diminished and the 1986 Cheese Days Celebration was a tremendous success! As a member of the MHS Marching Bands, Todd Schluesche leads the way carrying the American Flag. Michele Denor and Angie Harper appeared twice in the parade.

The young girl, Eliza Doolittle, thought Professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist interested in English dialects, was goine to narm her. She attempted to save herself with the aid of a passing gentleman. Colonel Hugh Pickering. To Eliza's dismay. Colonel Pickering, a student oT Indian dialects, just happened to be in London looking for Professor Higgins. Pickering and the Professor had much to discuss. Professor Higgins wondered Why Can't the English speak one language and boasted he could transform a common wretch like Eliza into a lady. Eliza was left on the cold, dark street. She and her friends dreamed of a better place in Wouldn't It Be Loverly? Here entered Eliza's father, Alfred P. Doolittle, who professed that all one needs is a Little Bit Of Luck for life to be grand. Since she wanted to run a flower shop, Eliza sought Professor Hiegins to receive lessons in proper English. Pickering, recalling Higgins' earlier boast to turn Eliza into a lady, made a bet with theProfessor. He offered to pay for the lessons with the test at the Embassy Ball. Higgins confessed he was An Ordinary Man and could not refuse. To begin her transformation, Eliza moved in with Professor Higgins. This information found Alfie Doolittle's ears. He thought his daughter's situation was a bit of luck and went to receive his share of the good fortune by selling Eliza to Higgins for fifty pounds. Despite all of her practicing, she still could not seem to speak like a lady. Eliza felt Professor Higgins was torturing her with his expectations and screamed Just You Wait! Professor Higgins pursued until, late one night, there was a breakthrough; Eliza had begun to use proper English. Pickering, and Eliza rejoiced with Higgins feeling that Eliza was ready for a public debut at the Ascot. The beginning of the races proved fairly successful. Following the suggestion of a new friend, Eliza placed a bet on Dover. She intently watched Dover's performance growing more and more involved, until she yelled in exasperation, 'Come on, Dover! Mover your bloomin' arse! It was enough to make the ladies faint, causing Eliza's world to come crashing down. Following this event, Eliza felt she could never show her face again. Amid depression Freddy Eynsford-Hill, confessed his love in On the Street Where You Live. The Embassy Ball was still the test. Eliza arrived very nervous and beautiful, and soon met her biggest obstacle, Zoltan Karpathv who was once a pupil of Professor Higgins, felt he could tell if Eliza was a fraud. He checked her out declaring that Eliza was a Bulgarian princess. Higgins had won his bet! Eliza thought everyone had forgotten her. Eliza decided to run away. Not sure where to go, she returned to the streets. She saw her father who asked to Get Me To The Church On Time Despite the fighting and bickering. Professor Higgins could not deny the true feelings in his heart. He had Grown Accustomed To Her Face and loved her. Colonel Pickering (Lee Wunschel) and Professor Higgins (Brent Brayko) have finally found each other. Higgins (Brent Brayko) suddenly finds Eliza (Paula Hunt), who he has been searching for, calmly conversing with Mrs. Higgins (Cathy Brand).

MUSICAL 13 Harriet (Dina Grabow) shares her mementos with Sheridan Whiteside (Robert Vickerman). Harriet was the sister of Mr. Stanley and also an ex-murderess. Professor Metz (Mike Strahm) announces ‘Roach City to Whiteside. Metz was an old, eccentric friend of Whiteside. The cook, Sarah (Carrie Hemming), and the butler, John (Matt Simonette), prepare the Stanley home for Christmas by placing Whiteside's gifts around the tree. Maggie (Jennifer Vita) and Burt (Brent Brayko) are finally reunited. After being thrown together and then separated by Whiteside, Sheridan helped mend Maggie's broken heart. M PLAY THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER Nearly everyone relishes the thought of being a star, or at least having close contact with one, including the Stanley family. So, when famed radio personality Sheridan Whiteside (Robert Vicker-man) was injured right outside their house, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley felt privileged to nurse such a great man back to health in their home. The Stanley's experienced a change in life as soon as Whiteside moved in. Along with Sheridan came his secretary, Maggie Cutter (Jennifer Vita), a nurse (Paula Hunt), and doctor (Sean Thomas). Fans found the Stanley residence and sent gifts and visited personally, long distance phone calls were received and made, and the whole Stanley family became a part of the background in their own home. Naturally, Mr. Stanley (Wade Flisram) started wondering if this was quite worth it. To top it off, Whiteside was suing Mr. Stanley for his injuries. Mr. Stanley did not like Whiteside taking over, but Mrs. Stanley (Lisa Hale) was convinced it was well worth the trouble for the famous Sheridan Whiteside. Whiteside was not an easy man to get along with. He was demanding and was nice only when he chose to be so. Young June Stanley (Julie Schutz) and her brother (Dan Norder) found in him a confidant, though. Sheridan approved of June's boyfriend Sandy (Mark Inman), much to her father's dismay. Whiteside did not like the press, so when Burt Jefferson (Brent Brayko) came' looking for a great story to keep his job, Burt was naturally sent away with nothing. But when Whiteside learned of Burt's sad situation, he helped him and the two become companions. With Burt's constant presence, Maggie couldn't help but fall in love. Whiteside did not like seeing her this way and feared losing her. He wanted her to forget Burt. To make this happen, he called in the glamorous Lorraine Sheldon (Cathy Brand) to read Burt's play. Burt jumped at the chance of spending time with this beautiful woman, satisfying Whiteside and greatly upsetting Maggie. Maggie realized the work of Whiteside and threatened to leave, making his plan backfire. Whiteside realized his mistake and, along with a friend Banjo (Mike Strahm), captured Lorraine in an Egyptian tomb, sending her away. Students at Monroe High shared the experiences of the Stanley household in ''The Man Who Came To Dinner. The play was performed March 12, 13, and 14 under the direction of Ms. Sarbacker and Ms. Dexheimer. Lorraine Sheldon (Cathy Brand) describes her cottage in Lake Placid and captures Burt Jefferson's (Brent Brayko) heart. Two dinner guests (Mark Inman and Mike Shreve) arrive at the Stanley's. It was, of course, Whiteside's idea. CAST OF THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER : SITTING; Carrie Hemming, Tanya Tupper, Shelly Perry, Dan Norder, and Dina Grabow.

The answer: MHS's Revue. Every year the talented students and teachers display a collage of school life in one show. The 1987 Revue was no different in giving Monroe that glimpse of MHS's image. The Jazz Ensemble set the mood for the show, opening for the Swing Choir, who performed Let's Get This Show on the Road. During intermission, vocalist Tina Goecks was accompanied by the Jazz Ensemble. In one selection, Mr. Schneeberger was backed by the Jazz band in a combination trumpet and vocal solo.

To further the sample of school life, the office personnel performed the skit A Day in the Office at MHS. The skit gave a humorous approach to how hectic one day can be. The German class did their version of The Wizard of Oz. Despite the language barrier, the audience laughed at the death of the wicked witch. Another foreign language class did two skits. Spanish students performed El Restaurante which gave the audience tips on what not to say south of the border, and Mexican Hat Dance which had students and teachers participating in some Spanish culture. The female teachers presented Stepsisters' Lament from Cinderella. The unlikely Cinderella was Lee Wunschel dressed in a frock and a wig. There were four dance routines in the Revue. One was to the tune Lollipop which featured girls in poodle skirts and guys in tu-tus. The second dance routine was called Music! Music! Music! In this dance, Mr. Brukwicki was shocked to see dance mannequins spring to life with the jukebox. The tnird dance routine was a jazzy number performed to the beat of The Heat in On. The last dance routine had some cheerleaders at The First Day of Practice doing everything but practice. Not only did Jazz Ensemble play, so did Cowfeathers. Their Kazoos added a twist to the music. A Tootin' Twosome played Chopsticks. Wrong instruments and absent music provided minor setbacks. A vocal trio sang Sunrise, Sunset. This was a selection from Fiddler on the Roof Phineas II in 3-D was a not-so-punny revision of last year's Phineas. The skit involved boys dressed as fish going puns to a plot line that was fishy in itself. The Revue's only commercial was Take A break — Pop, Pop, Fizz, Fizz sponsored by the Liaison Board members. A musical commercial, the members played pop bottles and danced with pop cans. Ms. Dolores Feldt and Vicki Hyde offered a new concept to the classical idea of a piano duet. They played Hooked On Classics on a piano and played around quite a bit. The audience then went to camp with the song Hello Muddah. This duo sang to pictures of the people they missea' from home. A vocal quartet sane Silhouettes. This skit allowed the people in the audience a chance to reminisce and relax. A vocal duet sang Rainbow Connection ' The song was from the Muppet Movie. Mike Shreve did a song La-di-da-di. This song was one of the pop rock songs called rap. A small skit called The Littlest Women gave the crowd an insight to the life of a midget. The midget (Cindy Weckerly and Tina Goecks) could do everything big people could do, such as eating ana brushing teeth. The male teachers aid a song and dance routine to Marne. A shocked audience watched as Coach Pat Martin appeared in a tu-tu. The Finale was dedicated to the MHS State Champion football team and coaches. It featured the Swing Choir, a speech by Mr. Stauffacher, and tne song Mr. Touchdown U.S.A. sung by the teachers. $7 REVUE 17 HEAVEN SEEN IN JUNIORS EYES 'Heaven in Your Eyes was the theme for the 1987 Junior Prom. The Junior class impressed the Senior class with a Heaven-like setting. Pat Zimmerman was elected Prom King by the Junior class. He chose Kim Riese to be his queen for the evening. Senior class President, Jon Deininger announced the prom couple after the crowning. After giving his opening speech, Pat with Kim led the Grand March. The decorations consisted of blue, white, and silver balloons which were arranged throughout the gymnasium. The walls were of silver-lined clouds and blue sky. The entrance was encompassed with balloons and silver tinsel vented the entrance. A sidewalk followed with balloon columns of light on the edges. After fourteen years of using the ceiling sky, the Junior class streamed lights across the top for a heavenly-lit effect. The Junior class decided to have a live band from Madison entertain them. Hi-Fi impressed the prom couples as well as spectators playing selected songs from the 60's as well as popular top 40 music. Responding to the music, the prom couples danced the night away. Senior class President, Jon Deininger, announces the 1987 Junior Prom King and Queen.

OUT OF CLASS INTO CULTURE Students arriving at school a little late on the final days before the Fine Arts Festival found a long line in the M-Room. The latecomers grabbed one of the green pamphlets that had been floating around MHS the past few weeks and got in line behind the rest. Tickets for the various activities available could be obtained only one at a time before and after school and during lunch. They had to be signed by both students and teachers for the hour they would be missing. Although getting out of class' seemed to be the main objective of most students, many found a variety of films and workshops they were anxious to check out. Freshman, Sheryl Metcalf commented, I heard a lot about the Festival from upper classmen, especially how great it is to get out of class! But I also found a lot of interesting workshops to go to. The last two days of the week found the halls of MHS filled with artists, poets, authors, and musicians. Susan Gardels, artist in residence, gave workshops in creative writing and art; Margaret George, Madison, gave presentations on the writing of a novel using her book The Autobiography of Henry VIII as an example for the students. Other presentations included art and fashion shows, members of the American Players Theatre, and classic films such as Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean. Students looked forward to the biannual Fine Arts Festival, not only as a change of pace or as a way to get out of class, but also as a chance to have a good time while seeing the careers of many professionals. MHS had a taste of wnat the arts mean to other people and what Fine Arts mean to themselves. FINE ARTS FAIR 21 Senior Liz Erlandson takes a sip of pop at the annual French Club pizza bingo party.

FOOD FIGURES Every MHS organization appears to be obsessed with food while most MHS students have diet mania. Evidently, the clubs must plot to throw obstacles in the students paths to the glorious utopia of thinness. Every club either sells food or induces members to attend meetings through waving tempting morsels in front of their noses. Bake sales, candy bars, M M's, Gummi Bears, apples, oranges, and various other items are all sold by clubs. Students beg their friends to purchase their wares so they can either go on that trip or just remain a member in good standing of the club. By remaining in good standing, members consume many treats of various calorie amounts. The flip side of the coin has half the population of MHS dramatically complaining about layers of fat while gnawing on pure chocolate. They moan; they grumble; they eat. The vicious food cycle takes one more step. Students progress from self-pity to group-pity resulting in flattery. One person denounces herself as fat . Her friends immediately rush to her defense by proclaiming her beautifully thin and themselves as obese . In return for their support, she returns equivalent compliments in another round of the never-ending social game. To all the producers and consumers of MHS organizational food, we take our hats off to you! 22 ORGANIZATIONS At the F.H.A.

In Uruguay she studied the culture of a people very different from our own. Among the other AFS students, Neil Whitehead travelled to Peru and Robert Vickerman spent a wonderful experience in Paraguay. Our own MHS AFS student, Mario Moran, spent an entire year in Monroe staying with the Whitehead family. Area Monroe families hosted eleven AFS students for a traditional, cross cultural AFS Fair Day weekend. Exchange students represented Germany, Japan, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, France, Turkey, Chile, and Argen- tina. All of the students were current AFS representatives living with host families in Dane or Grant counties. Their stay in the area included student and family get-togethers, spending a day with their hosts in school, a Monroe High School basketball game, a dance, tours of the Swiss Chateau Cheese Store, WEKZ, an afternoon of curling and a progressive supper. Wrapping up the weekend, a potluck with slide presentations was held at MHS for all the families. AFS was a very fun and learning experience. For students who loved to adventure abroad and to discover the cultures of other countries, AFS was the right place. 24 A.F.S. 1986 — A YEAR TO REMEMBER 'it is the best they have ever looked and played and you know why: it's because we could finally see the lines! smiled Mr. Schneeberger. One might wonder what in the world he was talking about. Well, everyone must remember the championship game at Camp Randall Stadium. The event was not only a joyous occasion for the MHS football team, but also for the MHS marching band. Marching in the stadium was a very exciting experience for each member. At the game, a tossed coin decided which band had the honor to play the national anthem. Smiles crossed all the MHS band members' faces when they won the coin toss. Where would MHS be without marching band or pep band? Whether they entertained the fans with a half-time filled with fun and enjoyable routines, or pepped up the crowd with the school song, they were more than appreciated. Winter sports would have been rather dull without a band to play along. The bands helped to rejuvenate the fans' spirit as well as the teammates'. Before games the band room became total chaos. After the game was worse. Members danced around the room to the Beer Barrel Polka, while shouting in order to discuss the evening plans. Just remember, the next time one goes to a high school event, that not only the team supplies the entertainment and excitement out also the students in the red sweaters sitting in the bleachers with the instruments.

MUSICAL VENTURE 'The best part of Ward-Brodt is that you can find any piece of music you want ' said Tanya Tupper, Wind Ensemble oboist. The band department set out on a musical field trip to Madison on a Sunday. Ward-Brodt, a major music store, was the first stop. There the students had a chance to play different instruments other than their own. Some never having been there before, walked in and saw a wide variety of merchandise. Instruments were the most obvious at first sight. Any instrument could have been tried. Separate rooms were provided for guitars and grand pianos, along with other instruments. Keyboards of every kind and size were set up for sample runs. Something new were the musical computers with programs made available for playing musical games. Along with numerous instruments, there were many types of music available. The musical library was alphabetized making it easier to find sheets of pop, classical, movie themes, books of music, and educational music. All of these were available to be sight-read by anyone wishing to do so. Ward-Brodt also had clothing designed with musical logos. But the logos did not stop just with clothing — one could find pencils, key chains, paper clips, jewelry, and many other items pertaining to various areas of music. Besides all of these services, Ward-Brodt made it accessible to obtain private music lessons and, if needed, repair instruments. After the band members sight-read music, tried new instruments, and shopped, they boarded the bus and traveled to Milz Concert Hall to listen to a concert performed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Wind Ensemble. Students enjoyed the listenings while they advanced their musical culture. Marc Kohlbauer, Chris Farris, and Jim Kummer take a break during Concert Band. Band members performed four concerts during the year. Jenny Farris and Heidi Indergand practice their flutes for an upcoming concert. Students may buy their own instruments or loan them from the school.

We're going to use instruments in one selection, and we may be getting a keyboard synthesizer. Paula Hunt spoke with excitement about Swing Choir. Swing Choir started toes tapping and fingers snapping as they stepped through their routines in perfect harmony this year. But just how did Swing Choir learn all those routines and why didn't anyone miss a beat? The dedicated work of choreographers Paula Hunt and Cassandra Lees made the choir a successful group. When asked how she got the choir members to learn the steps, Cassandra responded, If they want to work, they will. If they don't feel like learning, then it will take twice as long. Cassandra has had two years of jazz and four years of ballet and Paula has had two years of ballet. Paula and Cassandra usually met together at least one night a week to discuss routines. We had no set routines made up. Paula or I would see a step we liked or learn a new one in ballet and then put it into the routine, said Cassandra. This year Swing Choir performed in the Revue and had four concerts as well as various other small performances. They always performed their dance routines with grace and a smile, brightening up the entertainment put on at MHS. CHORUS SWING CHOIR 29 WORKING HARD HAVING FUN Hard work, but it's a lot of fun. Work fun? At first one might be skeptical, but Rick Bennett's enthusiasm could make a believer out of anyone. And they do work hard. Under the supervision of Mr. Tupper, they spend a good part of their day, fifth through seventh periods, building the Capstone house. Capstone covers the basic skills dealing with house construction and helps the students to cooperate and work with others. They do not cover the electrical, plumbing, or heating phases of the house's construction. The house, at 1423 13V2 ave., a salt-box style, was designed by Paul Johnson. VICA was a club designed for those interested in Vocational Industrial Occupations and they work closely with Capstone. Their activities were based on areas of trade such as house construction, house wiring, welding, drafting, machinery, and auto mechanics. They also attended a leadership lab at Delavan and went on a field trip to the GM Auto Plant in Janesville. Although both Capstone and VICA members did put many hours into their activity, they had a lot of fun working together. Getting real experience in class and out, they lived through hours most people could not even begin to comprehend: hours of work fun.

CULTURE FROM ABROAD German Travel Club offers an in-depth look of Germany that you can't get in the classroom ' explained Claudine Walden. German Travel Club provided a chance to study history, culture, and the German language. The first step towards planning their trips was to organize fund-raisers. Students had two years to raise money. They sold candy, and also delivered flowers throughout the school for St. Valentine's Day. Candle orders were taken and delivered. After their fundraisers, the next step was to plan their trip. Deutschlandverein members planned to spend approximately three weeks in Germany and Austria. Two weeks were planned to be spent touring museums, cathedrals, markets, and business areas. Students would be allowed to go shopping and enjoy themselves. The other week was arranged to be spent with a German family. During that week, they would learn how German families shopped, prepared meals, spent their free time, and also about the homes they lived in. There they could learn what Germany is really about. Travel clubs offer students the chance to learn more about the country or language they are interested in. It offers students a chance to enjoy themselves and to meet people, while learning.

I think that it is important that the kids learn that they can make their own decisions and hold on to them, even if their friends have different ideas, felt Shelly Perry, a FHA HERO member involved in the Just Say No program. Introduced to Monroe this past year by the Optimists, the Just Say No club was aimed at fifth and sixth grade students to teach them more about drugs and alcohol. FHA members were strong supporters in helping the children. To gain lots of interest with the young students, Randy Wright of the Green Bay Packers spoke to all fifth and sixth grade students in the district on the dangers of abusing drugs and alcohol. He stressed the importance of learning about the drugs before actually becoming involved. Meetings were held the first Saturday of each month, with the first one held March 7. FHA members aided in entertaining while teaching the children about just saying no. Peer pressure was explained and students were told not to be afraid of saying no. A film and skits were presented that taught the effects of alcohol and drug abuse in terms the children could relate to. Future events planned included roller skating, watching a ball game, or visiting the zoo. By playing games and other activities, the children learned they could have fun without using drugs. The Just Say No club offered young students a chance to gain knowledge and support in saying no. As a link between adulthood and the children's peers, FHA members became a role model. Members hoped to provide positive peer pressure for the younger children. FHA members Shelly Perry and Ellen Sathoff along with Shawn Bilgri listen to Randy Wright's presentation against drug and alcohol abuse. Michele Denor and Theresa Rackow help serve breakfast to kick off Homecoming, while Kelly Buol supplies the kitchen with more silverware for customers. Jeanne Tourdot anticipates the incoming FHA members before the Pizza Meet-chya party.

FFA FUTURE LEADERS OF AMERICA? It's an organization who's main goal is to develop leadership and responsibility in its members. That is how president Mike Haldiman summed up FFA. The officers attended the annual FFA Officer Leadership Conference at Marshall High School where thirty-three chapters were present. The conference was held to promote individual and chapter growth in leadership. The Monroe Chapter had fourteen first-year members participating in the Chapter Creed Speaking Contest. The three finalists were: Barry Wald, Chad Moyer, and Todd Moser, who took first place. Could FFA also be known as FLA — Future Leaders of America? A good part of what FFA does deals with leadership. The officers and members of the club all strive toward strong leadership skills. They work together, laugh together, grow together. FFA could have easily been called FLA. F.F.A. 35 DEAR SANTA.. . Writing letters for Santa is fun! It's fun reading the letters about what kids say they've done or haven't done! said Lenae Rowe, an outstanding FBLA member. When FBLA offered to answer the letters addressed to Santa, it became a club project. The first thing that happened was the post office forwarded all letters addressed to Santa to the high school. The letters were then distributed among the FBLA members. They wrote back to each child on special green stationary. Although members could not promise the children anything, they assured the children that if they properly behaved, they would be rewarded. The letters were addressed to the children and were signed From, SANTA. Next, they simply returned the letters to the address on the envelop. Parents can read about letters for Santa in the Monroe Evening Times, when FBLA posts a notice. FBLA members felt the support and appreciation from the parents and community. They provided a service which was fun to give. Christi Schneider waits for a FBLA meeting to begin. Meetings were held periodically according to need.

Forensics is a chance to be at the top. Speaking in front of other, interested people can be a natural high just like any athletics. For a few precious, nerve-wracking moments, members were featured in the light. At different meets, members presented their speeches one to three times for different judges. A new group was added this year — Group Acting. Paula Hunt and Brent Brayko did a cut from the musical My Fair Lady. Although judges and meets do add up to paranoia. Forensics did allow members a chance to on the top. Amy Hudson emphasizes a point in her presentation. Members rehearsed with their coaches before attending meets.

Even though French Club members, along with other language club students, gave up a Sunday for the trip to Milwaukee, they felt the experience was worth it. The day began bright and early with the excited students loading a bus for a long three hour ride. Finally, they arrived to enter a huge building and a huge throng of people. Deep within the crowd the students knew they would Find booths exhibiting various cultural ideas and selling mounds of foreign delicacies. For French Club members, the French exhibits were, naturally, of interest. Students found they could stuff themselves on crepes, eclairs, or other French specialties. Along with eating French food, students visualized French lifestyles in folk dancing presentations and arts and crafts booths. Typical French games were observed and learned. Also displayed were tools used in jobs best known by the French. The club members returned home late that evening feeling over-fed and tired. Yet, they also returned satisfied after quenching the curiosity in French lifestyles. Cassie VanHom enjoys some pizza before playing traveling bingo.

This was the first impression Matt Inman had after reaching Quebec city March 22. His spring break began bright and early Saturday morning, along with 28 students and 6 chaperons, by boarding a bus for a two-day bus ride on their way to Quebec. Entering the city early Sunday, everyone was very eager to stop riding and explore the old city. Within the walled city, the architecture and atmosphere brought the visitors back in time and into another world. Surrounded by French speaking natives, and seeing sights like the impressive Chateau Frontenac, students hardly could believe they were not in a dream. Students toured a prep school, visited Parliament, saw a zoo and an aquarium, shopped in a large mall, and attended a Canadian-style sugaring party. In their free time, students went to movies, dined, danced, or just mingled with the natives. After four days in Quebec, the visitors returned home via another two-day bus ride. By this time students were tired. But, all in all, the sights and experiences will be well-remembered in everyone's memory. QUEBEC CLUB 39 WORK + FUN = KEY CLUB Key Club is cool because you can have fun and be with your friends, but still help your school and community, commented Brendon Wilkinson. Think about Key Club. Hmm. Oh yeah, that club ran the school store every morning, sold food at concession stands, helped the elderly and did many other service activities. Pretty boring, eh? Not really, at least not for the members. They enjoyed their work. As an extra bonus, the hardest workers attended the District Convention held in Steven s Point. Convention was the time when sixteen Monroe delegates interacted with over six hundred Key Clubbers from Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. They attended workshops, met new people, listened to speakers, and danced the night away to the Friday night That was then ... dance and the Saturday night ... This is now dance. They watched two of their own club members step down from the 1986-87 District Board. Jon Deininger resigned as Bulletin Editor and Lisa Hale resigned as Lt. Governor Division IV. Members watched the new officers, who they elected, be installed. They went home exhausted. Key Club may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but the members found the club to be worth their time.

MHS'S ACTIVITY DEPARTMENT 'Tm glad to be a part of the group that runs and plans a good majority of the school's activities. Melissa Peters was correct in saying this, because she belongs to Liaison Board. Liaison Board convened every even Monday for about a half an hour. They heard complaints of the students and decided if anything could be done to correct them. A popular topic this year developed over whether shorts could be worn in school. Liaison Board was also in charge of the scheduling for Homecoming Week activities, Most Favorite Teacher elections, eighth grade orientation, the '87 Revue, and starting a SADD program in our school. Unfortunately, though. Liaison Board experienced a minor setback on the financial end when the Sun-Glo company went out of business. The Sun-Glo machine was one of Liaison Board's major fund-raisers.

It's frustration and pride; it's what we are ... . stated Kris Rasmussen. She was right. No one really loved the work or truly enjoyed the yelling sessions, but for some strange reason, we were not quitters. Every year a new editor moves into a tiny cubicle off Mr. Brockman's room. Every year students join up expecting an easy contact hour. Every year people become frustrated. Willy Hunt thought M-Book would be the ultimate in fun and relaxation. Everyone on the staff, including myself, ended up surprised at the reality of the job we had to do. Many days, M-Book was an hour of utter chaos.

Heidi Brockman grumbled, ... I sometimes would like to dedicate my seventh hour to sleep. We all had those days. I let my temper fly too often, but the staff stayed behind me. I can honestly say that I would not have traded the staff, even in spite of all the headaches, for anyone else.

CLUB ROCKED MHS We've improved a lot, but we still have a long wav to go. I'm just glad to say I'm a part of itr' Julie Rackow commented, with pride about one of the most original clubs at MHS — D.J. Club. Our peers playing the tunes at MHS's dances? At first the idea sounded a little off the wall, but a couple of students in Radio and T.V. class decided to make the idea work. The club rented some equipment from Jesse Armstrong's father. Many thanks from D.J. Club went to Mr. Armstrong and his band. Horse feat hers, for the use of their equipment. The club hoped to one day have their own equipment and records. They also wanted to be able to lower the prices of the dances. D.J. Club usually met on Tuesday and Thursday nights, or whenever they are asked to do a- dance. When the club knew about two weeks in advance that they would be D-J'ing a dance, they had time to eet the music sequence in order, new and old hits alike. This year D.J. Club strived to get a variety of music played throughout the dances, with different kinds of music, they felt everyone would be satisfied. When asked about D.J. Club, Jon Deininger grinned and replied, It's my initials reversed representing the club's respect for my charm and intelligence! But all kidding aside, D.J. Club this year became more than a bunch of kids fiddling with turntables. Their first dance was filled with nervous jitters as the club members awaited the students' reaction. The music blared and students at MHS looked at each other, nodded and began to dance. The amateur, but professionai-to-be-, D.J.'s provided not only treat music and good times for their friends, ut also a terrific opportunity for themselves to experience D.J.'ing. Mr. Pawlowski, the director of D.J. Club, sets up the turntable. Dan Neuenschwander, Mike Reber, and Jon Deininger have a rap session about the material they will use for their next dance. D.J. Club met Monday nights to plan their dances. Tim Hartwig brushes up on his D.J.'ing ability before a dance. Tim was also in Radio and T.V. class from which D.J. Club evolved. 44 M-CLUB MEMBERS GONE BONKERS? It's a cultural experience. It's a lot of hard work but it's also fun and worth it, Matt Inman commented about Model United Nations, commonly called Model U.N. The activity consisted of a group of students who chose a country, preferably a smaller, controversial one, ana buried themselves in the library until they knew each and every fact about that country. So that explains those students who lived in the library while others panicked, thinking they had forgotten an exam or some research paper. Now the question arises — just what did these students in Model U.N. get in return for all their hard work? After studying their countries until they were pros on the subject, the students traveled to tne University of Milwaukee to get together with the forty-five other schools who participated in Model U.N. The students chose from a list of world problems and discussed solutions. The students then voted on whose idea could better solve the problem. Mr. Guth commented on the procedure, describing it as being similar to what a bill has to go through in order to become a law. A student could have been any age to join Model U.N., but they must be self-confident and able to speak easily in front of a large group of people (about three to four hundred). They also should have been interested in exploring other parts of the world, considering the extra effort of studying and researching involved. The students found at the MHS I.M.C. or the public library with heads bowed while pencils scribbled furiously did not go off the deep end. While the comment whispered behind hands may have been, They must be crazy! Model U.N. members were dedicated, hard-working students who deserved a hand. They decided to take a shot at Model U.N., an interesting club which provided an inside view of how various world Governments solve world problems. Neil Whitehead used his time wisely to gather information about his country for Model U.N. Model U.N. members were found in the library at all odd hours in order to get their research done. Melissa Holmstrom leans back to relax from her research. Melissa represented the country Uruguay this year in Model U.N. Kelly Knoke pulls on her coat after a tiring day of school and research for Model U.N. The extra effort of students such as Kelly made Monroe one of the strongest Model U.N. clubs.

MODEL UNITED NATIONS 45 SET-UP BEST OF ALL Setting up is a lot of fun. It's great to put a dream together for so many people, said Treasurer Heidi Brockman. Every spring. Pep Club puts the Tum-A-Bout dance together. The first thing Pep Clubbers needed to do was hold fund-raisers to help pay for the decorations for the dance. T-shirt and sweatshirt sales designed with the winning football team's record on them brought in this year's funds. After raisingthe money, the students had to set the date and find six chaperons. The next step involved choosing a theme song, and a decoration theme. Take Me As I Am was Tum-A-Bout's theme. We couldn't decide on one theme song, so we took a line out of Chicago's 'Will You Still Love Me?', explained Heidi. Because this dance was so close to Valentine's Day, the decoration theme centered on hears and heart balloons. With the theme decided and the decorations bought, ten members set out to turn the M-Room into a room of helium balloons and silver strines. The trophy case was covered with red paper, and all the couples' names were put on heart-shaped doilies and placed there. Ninety-nine heart-shaped balloons were filled with nelium. The balloons had the couples' names and Tum-A-Bout '87 written on them. White tags were also filled out with names and then placed in alphabetical order on opposite sides of the wall. The middle of the ceiling was then filled with silver strings which reflected lights around the M-Room. Banisters were wrapped with crepe paper, giving the final touch to the M-Room decorations. A small table was set with a punch bowl, cups and napkins. Also, bowls filled with Valentine's Day candy and M M's were set out. The punch was made with 7-Up, sherbet, and fruit punch. Set-up was a lot of fun. One could be as creative or as conservative as desired. Pep Clubbers look forward to Tum-A-Bout every year. Heidi Brockman hands a filled helium balloon to Cathy Faith.

Mr. Bower, the new co-advisor, added a lot to the club. He perked up the membership (turning a nearly all female club into a 50-50 ratio club) by finding new activities. Science Club had always been involved in the annual Science Fair as workers, but members strived to enter exhibits. Although Cathy Brand decided on a project too late, she promises to be a strong future member as she explained her project idea ... I want to feed some sort of animal healthy food and another junk food. I want to show which type of diet is better. The focus of the activities peaked when a bridge building kit arrived from the UW-Platteville contest center. Senior Physics members aided younger students with the support systems. Having planned various activities and Field trips, the members did not always realize all of their goals, but they did become more scientifically involved.

SCIENCE CLUB 47 TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OF SPANISH CULTURE A person can not expect to learn Spanish by practicing one hour a day five days a week. When you compare that to how long it took you to learn English —■ it's not a drop in the bucket ' said Mrs. Hendrickson. The traditional Spanish overnighter became a prime example of Mrs. Hendrickson's feelings. The overnighter held this year at Abraham Lincoln School replaced the formality of the classroom as students played games, sang, and danced. To further add to the excitement, Spanish and Mexico Club invited the AFS students in the area who were from Spanish-speaking countries. The students could participate in either cooking, games, sports, conversation in Spanish, art projects, or bartering for goods. Sandy Stauffacher commented on her favorite activity during the evening, I enjoyed the games a lot. We played soccer and then Miguel Angel Cobanos, one of the students from Spain, played his guitar while we sang. Earning pesos was an activity that went on all night. By speaking to either one of the AFS students, Mr. Schneeberger, or Mrs. Hendrickson in Spanish, students earned money. In the morning, an auction allowed students to purchase items with their pesos. After a not-so-authentically-Spanish, but tasty, breakfast of doughnuts and juice, everyone packed up and reluctantly said their good-byes, as the short time of learning and fun came to an end. This year was the most successful ever for the Spanish overnighter. Speaking with the thirteen native students and trying to understand their different accents was good practice for real travel to other countries.

Lisa Hale, secretary of Theatre Crew, speaks not only for herself and the club, but for the actors as well. Many nights the stars sat patiently while crew members flocked around them (much to the guys' disgust) with foundation, powder, blush, and eye shadow. Although the actors and actresses may have felt like Maybelline Queens after they had been worked over, their faces came alive to those in the audience. Performances without the Theatre Crew would be dull and unprofessional. Ms. Dexheimer, head of the Theatre Crew, explained further. The intensity of the lighting at the Junior High School is so extreme that without make-up, the students' faces would appear washed out. The make-up is just to exaggerate features that are already there. Thanks to Theatre Crew, there were no lifeless actors or actresses stepping on stage, for they couldn't possibly get past the Crew without at least a touch of powder or a smudge of blush. Remember: Behind every pretty face lies the work of a Theatre Crew member. Lisa Hale puts her talent to work as she made up Cathy Brand.

The loyal fans of the MHS football team followed the action from the first scrimmage against Elkhorn all the way to the victorious championship game at Camp Randall. The MHS fans were by no means a quiet group. Good or bad, they voiced their opinions. Cheering, yelling, screaming, shouting, encouraging, and at times almost crying, the fans supported their football team. Even though the original championship day turned out to be frigid, the fans still flocked together to travel to Madison. Bitter cold weather was not enough to keep the Monroe people from supporting the team. One man commented, If the boys can freeze their buns, so can we! The fans were actually let down when the game was postponed. At the rescheduled game, the Monroe turn out reached about 8,000. Mr. Exner, art teacher at the Junior High, made banners, kept the crowd alive, and brought along a mascot. Even though Camp Randall is huge, the fans managed to fill the stadium with sound. Despite some close calls, Monroe fans stayed loyal throughout the entire season. They supported the entire team and yelled Defense ! Because, after all, as Mark Rieder said, I've dreamt about this one for a long time. It's kind of funny. You don't get too many chances to make your dreams come true, but this is one of them that has. To the Monroe football team and all other dedicated athletes, we take our hats off to you!

GIRLS CROSSCOUNTRY S3 STATEBOUND HOUNDS-MAKE IT 14 The boy's cross country capped off its season this year with a trip to state. For fourteen years in a row, Monroe has been represented at state. After losing five varsity runners from the previous year, 1986 was a year of ups and downs for the Hounds. The year looked as though it would be a rebuilding year. It turned out to be that and more. The year brought eleven new faces, which included a very good freshman class. The year also saw ten seniors arrive, a fact Mr. Bruess thought was a record at Monroe. The hounds proved they were still a team with which to contend. They finished their 1986 season dual record at 5-1 in Badger Conference. They placed third in the Badger Conference meet, which combined gave them second overall. The J.V.'s put together an unbeaten dual meet record and a second place finish at the Conference meet for a first place overall. The hounds also had good showings in several invitationals.

FOOTBALL TEAM COMPLETES A PERFECT SEASON BY BRINGING HOME THE DIVISION 2 STATE TITLE A State Championship is the ultimate achievement in high school sports-a dream every athlete has. but few ever realize. On November 17, 1986, at Camp Randall Stadium, the Monroe High School football team had reached this pinnacle. A 28-7 thrashing of New Berlin Eisenhower gave the Cheesemakers the W1AA Division 2 State Championship, climaxing a perfect 12-0 season. During the season, Monroe displayed the talent to blow their opponents off the field It was during the close, hard-fought contests that the Cheesemakers showed the true signs of state champions. They refused to fold in the face of adversity rescuing victories from what would have been defeats for a lesser team. A prime example occurred during the first game of tne 1986 season, a gritty 15-9 overtime victory over Janesville Craig. Monroe sent the game into overtime after a twenty-five yard field goal with just under two minutes left in the game. Lance Witt then scored on a ten yard run during Monroe's extra possession, but the extra point attempt failed. John Witt then intercepted a Janesville Craig pass in the end zone to preserve the hard-fought victory. A 23-0 whitewashing of Platteville the following week sent Monroe into its conference season with two wins. Seven weeks later, the Cheesemakers emerged with not only seven more victories, but also tneir first-ever Badger Conference Championship. The title was clincned in Monroe, where, on October 24, they beat Fort Atkinson, 12-7. However, the conference game that really stood out in the minds of players and fans was tne 38-6 humbling the Cheesemakers administered to the Middleton Cardinals one week earlier. Monroe dominated play in every phase of the game and left little doubt who was tne best team in the Badger Conference. After finishing the regular season at 9-0, the Cheesemakers prepared for the state playoffs, three games that would take not only the team, but the entire city of Monroe on an emotional rollercoaster ride. To open the playoffs. Monroe hosted Sun Prairie at T.R Holyoke Field on November 4. The game was a close contest. The Cheesemakers were leading 14-10 late in the final quarter, when on fourth down a snap from center sailed over Monroe punter Kory Stoehr's head. The Cardinals fell on the ball at the Monroe 1 yard line with just Varsity Football Team SITTING; Rick Bennett, Shawn Bilgri, Barry Einbeck, Ron Markham, Barry Kneller, Rich Kubly, and Rick Gordon.

With the season on the line, the defensive unit dug in. Before Sun Prairie could get off a play, they were whistled for illegal procedure; yet, two more procedure penalties would follow for the Cardinals, and with the defense keeping Sun Prairie out of the end zone, when they did manage to run a play, the game came down to a dramatic 4th down and goal from the 1. Almost as soon as the ball was snapped, the Monroe pass rush came roaring after Sun Prairie quarter back, forcing him to scramble and heave a pass to the back comer of the end zone, where it was batted away. Somehow, the Cheesemakers had survived. The city's collective pulse rate scarcely had a chance to slow back down to normal when the Cheesemakers traveled to Stevens Point to face Antigo on November 8. This was another game whicn featured a sparkling effort from Monroe's defense, but the offense was stifled through three auarters resulting in Antigo holding a 7-0 lead as tne fourth quarter began. It was then that the Cheesemaker offense sprung to life. Starting at the their own 12, Monroe drove down to the Antigo 23, where Mark Rieder kicked a 40 yard field goal to make the score 7-3. The defense held the Red Robins on their ensuing possession, and a short punt gave the Cheesemakers the ball back at the Antigo 29 with iust 2:42 left. Monroe tenaciously drove closer and closer to the end zone, with two of their first downs in the drive coming after critical carries on fourth down by Rick Gordon, capping a great individual performance for the day by tne sophomore running back. With under a minute left, the Cheesemakers had the ball inside the An tigo 10. Then after Gordon carried it down to the 2, Rick Bennett dove over his offensive line into the end zone with just 40 seconds remaining. The extra point gave Monroe a heart-stopping 10-7 victory and a berth for the championsnip game against New Berlin Eisenhower. The Cheesemakers and lions faced off for the championship after the game, which had originally been planned for November 13, was postponed and set for four days later because of extreme cold. Eisenhower entered the game with a size advan- tage, but Monroe more than made up for it by beating the Lions off the ball on almost every play. The Cneesemakers were by far the superior team in the first half, yet the score was tied at the inter mission, 7-7. Monroe wasted little time in continuing their domination in the second half and erupted for three touchdowns — an incredible 11 yard catch by Dave Grimm, a 53 yard interception return by l.ee Wunschel, and a 7 yard run by Lance Witt — to roll to a 28-7 victory and write a jubilant final chapter to the best season ever enjoyed by a Monroe football team. In addition, individual honors were given out a gala post season banquet to honor the state champs. Rieder was named MVP and Defensive player of the Year, Grimm received Offensive player of the Year, Jim Yurs was named Lineman of the Year, Rick Gordon was voted Back of the Year, and Barry Kneller received the award as Most Im proved Hayer. The secret of Monroe's success in football in 1986 lay in the fact that the Cheesemakers had skilled players at every position and that these players united to form more than just a collection of individuals, but a team in the truest sense of the word. As Mark Rieder explained: We were state champions this year because every person on our team was a great player. We had nobody who was just an average' player ... They say that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. That was true of our team, too. We had all great players and we all came together and played with a unique chemistry that made us champions.” 1986 will not only be remembered as the year that the Monroe Cheesemakers won their first state championship in football, but also the year that a high school athletic team was able to bring an entire community together. From the season s opening kickoff to the triumphant pep rally following the title game, the memories from the 1986 football season are ones that will remain with all of us, forever. -Todd Schluesche 56 VARSITY FOOTBALL Mark Rieder and Jim Yurs each raise an arm because of the triumphant victory at Camp Randall Stadium.

Dearth played at the number three position on Varsity. NETTERS HOLD CHINS UP The Monroe tennis teams lived up to their expectations this year despite the loss of four seniors. Although the teams were younger and less experienced than in previous years, Varsity succeeded in placing second at the Badger Conference and the J.V. finished first in their conference. Monroe's number one Varsity player, Maureen Deignan, compiled the best MHS season's record ever with 22 wins and only 6 losses. She and Kim Graber, the number 2 single's champion, both advanced to Sectionals. Deignan went on to State competition, but lost in the first round. Varsity Coach, Larry Larson, expressed his high hopes for Maureen next year by saying, Maureen has one more year and we hope she will lead us to a Conference Championship. Kim Graber had the second best seasonal single's record with 19 wins and 2 losses. Tammy Dearth (5-1) played at the number three position while Amy Martin (8-4) followed at fourth. Freshman Ambur Klein (5-5), playing the number five position, did very well considering her age. Klein commented. It was very difficult to be on Varsity as a Freshman. I worked hard, though, and I think it was a good experience for me. Next year should be a little easier now that I know what tennis at the high school is like. The two contenders for the number six position on Varsity were Carolyn Scott and Carrie Hemming, both Sophomores. They each played a little Varsity and a little J.V. Scott's final record was 4-2 and Hemming's was at 8-3. There were many different doubles team combinations, but Mr. Tostrud expressed his thought on which combinations had the winning touch. The two teams of Mayer and Jegerlehner and Schiller and Peters were proven to be the best of double's teams through the season and, therefore, we counted on them to get us some points in the Conference Tourney. They responded by each winning their respective double's championships. I felt that this was an exceptionally hard-working and determined team. All contributed and were very deserving of the Conference title they won. Varsity and j.V. Tennis Team: Front Row; Maureen Deignan, Kim Graber, Tammy Dearth, Pam Wyt-tenbach, and Heidi Mayer.

SPIKERS HAVE SPIRIT The MHS volleyball team ended its season with the WIAA Regional Tournament at Beloit Turner. They placed second out of four teams, leaving the varsity team with a 2-10 Badger Conference Record. New head coach Ms. McCabe felt that the varsity team achieved a lot this year because they played as a team, learned new techniques and put them to use, and near the end of the season put up a good defense. At the awards banquet, Michelle Tindell received the MVP award and the Most Improved awards went to Mary Figi and Ellen Sathoff. The Hustle award went to Melissa Som, and Jennifer Vita received the Spirit award. The J.V. team had a good season with a 7-5 Badger Conference Record under the coaching of Miss Sarbacker. The MVP award went to Kari Phillips, with the Most Improved award going to Mandi Pickett. Chris Tindell won the Hustle award. The new freshmen coach Mr. Dehn led his team to an undefeated 12-0 Badger Conference season. The team accomplished their victories through hard work and team work.

The high school watched in excitement as the team won most of their games and then took the regional titled with an upset over Janesville Parker. But how did Girls' Varsity basketball team achieve their record? The team spent hours after school practicing lay-ups, free-throws, and dribbling. The girls had to pull together and work as a team to achieve each victory. More importantly, the team had to support each other through each missed shot and loss. During the entire season, the girls formed a special bond with one another and became, in all senses of the word, a team. To become a team, and a good team, takes a lot of hard work. What inspires these girls to want to sweat nights after school? Is it because they lust for victory? FOR GOALS Are they a new' breed of humans who enjoy physical agony? Denise Stiner sums up the reason fro going through all the practices, games, and work-outs by saying, “We all work together as a family. Whether we win or not, we still have to be a team. These girls play basketball because they enjoy the game, the sense of accomplishment after a long practice, and, most importantly, the feeling of unity within the team. The team's hard work paid off this year. They add a very good record and defeated a lot of tough teams. To achieve their final record, the girls overcame personal conflict and opinions. They won their regionals and advanced on to the sectionals. Some games the girls lost by only a few points and, to them, those were the toughest. Still, the girls worked hard and did their best — as a team.

GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL 63 SPIRIT AND OPTIMISM TIES FOR SEASON At the beginning of the season the optimistic view towards the 1986-87 season was quite high. With the departure of many top starters from the previous year, several players had to pick up the pieces to the scoring slack. Many experienced players came back; more than any other year. After the late start with the basketball season due to the football championship, the team, already fired up, was ready to play. Great improvements were made on ball handling and rebounds. The team also faced a number of injuries. Kurt Schulz was out for the entire season with the exception of the first two games due to a knee injury. Eric Benz-schawel was out for one week at the beginning of the season, and Randy Gut-tenberg, a letter winner from the previous year, was out for the entire season due to illness. Monroe's sparks became quite evident at the opening of the Badger Conference Season as Monroe routed a win over the powerful Sauk Prairie team. The cagers showed a great performance and pleased the fans, the coach, as well as themselves. During the season, however, Monroe faced a few losses. Their spirit and determination was never thrown away. though. Practice was the spirit riser for each opening of another game. The team came in with the attitude of we're ready to play, we're fired up, we've got the team to do it, now let's win! However, the Monroe basketball team did not come out on top. All the spirit and all the optimism just didn't make the season into a winning one. Frowning upon the season would not be fair. The team put all the effort into this season as much as any other one. There is always a next year; a time for a fresh, new start. Although they may not have always won, they certainly did tie up their season with spirit and optimism.

BOYS VARSITY 8ASKETBAU 65 GIRLS' PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT While most students of MHS piled into cars and headed for McDonald's or Hardees after school, a certain group took off for the gym with high-tops over one shoulder and a basketball under an arm. Clad in T-shirts and shorts, or sweats, they clamored into the gym and began running laps. The coach gave orders to start a three-man weave, shoot some free-throws, and then set up teams for scrimmaging. The life of a basketball player required a lot of dedicated work, which includes making all practices and sometimes missing out on activities with friends. Despite this, J.V. player Carolyn Scott spoke for the entire team when she said, Sometimes you just don't feel like going to practice, but the hard work was what really kept us on top this year. The teams hard work and endurance led to the J.V.'s capture of an undefeated record of 18 and 0. The Freshman team had a final record of 7 and 8. The night of the game when the score shone neck and neck from the board with a few seconds in the fourth quarter, a Monroe player swooshed the ball through the hoop and the fans went wild. The tired but satisfied players looked up to the stands and heard the cheers meant just for them. They thought of the hours of practice it took to get that play just right and agreed it was all worth the effort. Janeen Potts put all her energy into gaining possession of the ball. Janeen was a starter for the Freshman Girls' team. FRESHMAN GIRLS BASKETBALL: FIRST ROW; Laurie Rinehart. Rose Studer, Ambur Klein, Denise Dillon.

Their finishing record was 13 and 7, and the Freshmen's A team had a final record of 10 and 5, and the B team's record was 4 and 8. Mr. Dehn, Freshman Coach, felt his team played at a good quality level. When asked what would make the ideal basketball player, he commented, Our team has plenty of practice during the season. Where a basketball player is created is between April and November. The person who puts in the hours during the off season is the athlete who becomes good. The schools where the majority of players put in the many hours of extra time are the schools on top year in and year out. Practice, practice, practice seemed to be what success was all about and the practice seemed to pay off for the Monroe teams this year. Dick Barry commented, It was a lot of hard work, but it payed off. The sacrifice of sleep and extra social time resulted in the widening of some eyes at their terrific season. The teams' strong ability and good attitude will carry on to future years, giving MHS a good push in the right direction for many successful seasons in the future.

WRESTLING 69 EARLY BIRDIES AT MHS Many days, in the early morning hours with the sun barely above the horizon, found students making their way to school. Did they bring themselves to school to watch the sun rise over the building? No, they came to participate in intramural sports. At the time of day when most people just began to think about climbing out of bed, some ambitious students were already running around the gym. Somehow, they found enjoyment in swatting at birdies, lunging for volleyballs, or shooting baskets all within the earliest minutes of the day. Many students saw these mornings as a good way to build their athletic skills in areas not usually offered to them. Against other classmates, the athletes competed in badminton, volleyball, or basketball. The excitement of watching these events may not have compared to Friday night action, but how many people could actually make a basket while their eyes were still focusing? I liked intramurals because I had the chance to play sports without being on the varsity or junior varsity team,” recalled Wade Flisram about his intramural experiences. That was the reason so many people managed to wake up with the sun. Craig Conti looks around Brendon Wilkinson to find an open teammate in order to pass the ball. These two, along with all other participants, found this an interesting way to wake up before first hour. Keith Vance sets his serve in badminton. Intramural badminton was offered for singles, doubles and mixed doubles competition. Matt Inman intercepts the ball while opposing team members look on. Basketball was another in tramural sport offered to energetic students. Warming up a little before a game, Mark Inman sets the ball. Volleyball was a popular choice as an intramural sport. 70 INTRAMURAL VARSITY BASKETBALL: FRONT; Lisa Esbcr, Lynne Paulson, Dana Erickson. BACK; Kim Riese, Amy DuCharme, Lynette Studer.

SIDELINE SUPPORT Who fired up the fans supporting our football team during their winning season? Who stuck with the basketball team and kept up the morale of the crowd? Who rooted the wrestlers toward a winning pin? It's no that hard — the answer is the cheerleaders. A very large group of energetic girls spent many hours developing their cheerleading skills. These did not include only strengthening vocal chords, but also a variety of physical abilities. They worked on building pyramids and inventing dance routines, along with new pom-pon routines. All of their after-school hours of work went towards performances at pep rallies and either football games, basketball games, or wrestling matches. The cheerleaders found that they could be involved in their own extracurricular sport. The knew sports could be just as exciting on the sidelines cheering as actually competing.

Monroe's team had won the conference title five years in a row until Fort Atkinson edeed them out on 1986. The. Monroe tracksters edged Fort Atkinson out in the 1987 season. Monroe's final conference record was a perfect 13-0, 6-0 in dual meets. Individual team members improved greatly in the 1987 season. Katy Deienan obtained a personal best in the 1600 meter run with a time of 5:14.91. She also obtained a personal best time of 2:25.15 in the 800 meter run. Trisha Bloom achieved a personal record of 5:31.0 in the 1699 meter run, and 12:17.36 in the 3200 meter run. Tracy Deininger achieved a new record of 35' SVa for her own personal best. Tammy Fahmey received a personal best in the 3200-meter run with a time of 12:54. Two school records were also set in the 1987 season, for two events. The team for the 3200 meter relay race set a school record of 9:59.85. The team was made up of Deb Tschudy, Gail Brukwicki, Dawn Tschudy, and Ellen Schmitz. Peggy Shreve set a school record of 5'1v4 in the high jump. Overall, the young team from last year frew and expanded into what proved to e an excellent team filled with talent and enthusiasm.

The team went into the conference meet with a 3-3 record and tied for third; unfortunately, they did not fair as well in the meet and ended up 6th overall. The season had its share of ups and downs, great days and some not so good ones. But this mediocre season was uplifted by some outstanding performances by some of the athletes. Freshman, Todd Masshardt ran his best 2-mile race of the season at Badger conference, his time was 10:21.8; this time made him one of the top five freshman of all-time in MHS.

Finally Tyler Erlandson made the freshman high jump list with a 5-8 jump. One of the biggest high lights of the year had to be Dan Neuenschwander's record tying :11.2 in the 100 meter. Monroe sent three individuals one one relay team to sectionals and Jim Yurs was Monroe's lone representative at state. Mike Freund takes off from the board during one of his runs in the long jump. Mike was one of five long jumpers for the team. 74 BOYS TRACK BOYS' TRACK: SITTING; Tim Buehler, Mike Strahm.

BOYS TRACK 75 CONFERENCE CHAMPS GROWING NEAR The Monroe High School varsity soft-ball team ended tneir season witn best record ever in Monroe history with a 6-7 conference and 10-8 overall record. Monroe's confidence really built up when the team came out of the Beloit Tournament undefeated for the first two games. The third game was scheduled tor a later date due to rain. Another spirit booster came when the varsity team took its own trophy in the Monroe tournament. Unfortunately, Monroe varsity could not get past regionals against Oregon. However, next year the varsity team should carry away the conference title with the growing talent of new players and the returning talent of varsity players. At the conference meetings Kim Graber was picked all-conference first team for her second year and Mindy Ellingson was also picked all-conference first baseman. Receiving Honorable Mentions were Heidi Brockman, Michelle Tindell, and Lynette Studer. The Monroe J.V. Softball team ended their season with an upsetting 2-10 conference and 4-12 overall record. However, do not let this record fool you. The J.V. team had a lot of talent on the team, many of which will be seen next year on the varsity team. The Freshman team also had a winning season.

John Mayer lead the team offensively and was awarded the team's MVP and Mr. Offense. Other awards were given to John Witt: Mr. Defense; Terry Endres: Mr. Hustle; and Gary Wuthrich: Most Improved. Lee Wunschel represented the varsity as team captain. At conference meetings, the Monroe varsity had a great turn out, having Mayer, Endres, and Jelinek making the all-conference team, Wunschel, Markham, and Einbeck receiving Honorable Mention, and Rick Wuebben with a Special Mention. Wrapping up the season after the upsetting loss at sectionals, a banquet was held at the Monroe High School M-Room. The J.V. team, coached by Mr. Gilson, had an awesome year finishing with a 9-3 conference and 11-6 overall record. Monroe J.V. remained undefeated in the second round of the 1987 season, tying for first place in conference. Rick Gordon had a fine season with a 5-2 pitching record and a .440 batting average.

Considering the fact that no one from Monroe has taken first at the meet since 1968, Barry's feat was just as outstanding as the entire team's performance. The team held a record of six conference wins and only one loss to Middleton. Their win at the conference meet gave them the ability to tie for the Badger Conference title. Going on to regionals in high spirits, Monroe took second with Dan Frehner shooting a 74 to individually take first. Their season ended with their eighth place finish at the WIAA's Madison Memorial Sectional meet. J.V. GOLF: KNEELING; Ambur Klein, Ron Wunschel, Cal Collins, Gregg Hessel, Scott Elliott, Eric Ambler.

The highlight of the season came when Steve Flanagan and Barry Whalen took first at conference in number one doubles. Chris Milz took 4th place at sectionals to advance to state. He also had an excellent season record (21-5). At state, Milz played tennis, but his high school career ended when he was beaten out by the defending state champ. Other highlights of the season were Chris Milz winning at the 16 team Janesville Invitational, and the First place finish at sub-sectionals. The regular season record totaled six wins and one loss. Of the six wins, three were shutouts. The J.V. team was coached by Jim Tostrud. Their conference record was five wins and two losses. The Conference Meet was rained out. A highlight during the season was Darin Buhlmann's first place win in number two singles at the Monroe Invitational. BOYS TENNIS 79 During seventh hour Health Careers, Tami Esher packs up her books as the final bell is about to ring.

EXAM CRAM SO ACADEMICS Once after each semester, students must prepare for the dreaded semester exams. Although study habits vary from person to person, every class has a general attitude toward each of the yearly exams. The freshmen study hard. They have heard some gruesome stories about those impossible papers. They are unable to sleep the night before exams. When they do drop off, they have nightmares. With butterflies in their stomachs, they take their exams. After realizing the tales of exam horrors were exaggerated, they do not have any worries facing the next exam. Sophomores always seem to have good intentions of studying, but they never get around to actually opening the books. Perhaps their scores could have been a trifle better, but there is always next year to improve. juniors realize they only have two semesters to pull up their grade poin average and class rank before applying foi college. In a fit of paranoia due to th over-driving desire to get A's, junioc frantically stuff facts into their heads. Seniors remain fairly diligent student for the first semester. However, by th final exam, they have senioritis drastically, they never even take th books home. Their general attitude is Who cares? It doesn't matter anyway! , Of course there are exceptions to thes stereotypes. Some students never studj while others study for weeks on end fc every test. When it comes down to th bottom line, most students exam crafl sometime during their four years at MH$i To all students who have ever crammH for exams, we take our hats off to you anl to all of the teachers who spend Ion) hours preparing us to exam cram.

The English department feels communication is an important survival skill for life. 82 ENCUSH More and more students have chosen to attend college after graduation. Therefore, they have prepared themselves by taking college bound courses. A nigntmare to many students nad been the thought of a college term paper or a thesis paper. To overcome their fear, a number of students chose Research Procedures, hoping to somehow find more confidence in writing such a paper. In the course, the class was guided through Turabian's forms of footnotes, bibliographies, and grammar. After demonstrating the fundamentals in a short paper, the class was let loose for nine weeks of research in the library and was given an opportunity to work at the University of Plat-teville. This research went toward a large paper on which the semester grade was based. Students should have found plenty of time and materials with one class period each day to work. But, for many students the paper became a nightmare. Knowing there was always tomorrow, procrastination soon set into a student's study habits. After reading several books on one topic, suddenly the social lives of neighboring students in the library became much more interesting. This hour also became the perfect time for unfinished homework. As the end of the semester drew nearer, the due date became reality. First semester students believed they had Christmas vacation to work on it. They soon realized, though, that they no longer had a vacation. The thought of the unfinished paper hovered over holiday festivities, upon commencing work in the middle of vacation, students learned they underestimated the amount of work left. Second semester students were not given a vacation immediately preceding the due date, but they did have spring break to write. Procrastinators did not, however, escape the endless night of typing the day before handing in their work. All students now waited anxiously for the evaluation of their work. These nerve-racking moments told the doubting students if they really had put forth enough effort. Of course, not all students fell prey to procrastination and the class was not a nightmare. A few even turned in the paper before the due date, much to the envy of the other students. For each student, procrastinator or not, he chose the class to learn. And, indeed, he did learn something about writing a term paper, even if it was not easy. English Department: BACK ROW; Mr. Brockman, Mrs. Carter, Mr Lawrence, Mr. Trampe.

REALISTIC RESEARCH LOCAL HISTORY LEARNED Whether it was French, German, or Spanish, more students were interested in enrolling in a foreign language class. Reasons for this interest might be the increased college requirements or the fun these classes are known for having. In passing any of these classes in progress, songs of each native tongue were heard and various games that helped teach students vocabulary and culture were observed. Students in the Advanced French classes were given a special opportunity to learn French history in Wisconsin this year. The property of a French trader from the early 1800's was being excavated. The archaeologist asked the French students to translate some of the original manuscripts from the trader and his daughter. The archaeologist also asked students to help excavate the area along the Sugar River during summer months. Spanish class is not always just fun and games. Making himself comfortable, John Goldenman prepares to learn the new lesson. Mrs. Hendrickson plays the guitar as her students sing-a long. She feels that singing is one way her students may leam about Spanish culture. Foreign Language Department; Ms. Sarbacker, Mrs. Hogan, Mrs. Hendrickson, Mr. L. Larson. FOREIGN LANGUAGES 83 AG, INDUSTRIAL ARTS FOR EVERYDAY There is much to know about what goes on behind the scenes of the car we drive or the food we eat. At Monroe High School, many classes were offered to bring students closer to the truth of many things they may have taken for granted. For students interested in agriculture, there was a class offered at each grade level, each year building on the last. FFA was included in the curriculum, along with livestock and feeding, farm management, soil and plant science, and machinery maintenance. Industrial education offered a wide variety of courses to cover any students interest. Students were given choices of drafting, photography, metal working, electronics, or woods. They were again offered the experience in building a home in Construction Capstone. Industrial Education Department FRONT. Mr Klippel. Mr Hamp ton. Mr Tupper BACK. Mr Cilson. Mr Bartholf.

Many young people today look forward to getting married and having families of their own. Along with this dream also goes a fear of the unknpwn. Many students had a bit of this fear and elected to enroll in Contemporary Family Living. In an attempt to show students what managing a household and raising children was truly like, they were put into a role playing situation for a few weeks. Students became married to a classmate of the opposite sex, and every couple had a child. Of course, real children could not be handed out, so plants were distributed. The parents were expected to share the respon sibilitv in caring for their child, or keeping the plant alive. The babies were kept protected from the cold and other elements in a variety of ways, and followed their parents everywhere. If neither parent wanted the responsibility, baby-sitters could be found in a friend or a generous teacher, who demanded payment tor their services. Parents could not escape danger by leaving the child at home. Some banies suffered bruises from being dropped accidentally, and some were kidnapped. A few even seemed to just disappear. As a parent cannot run out and buy a new child, new plants could not be bought either. The experience gained in carrying a plant around all day seemed to be good experience for many students. Contemporary Family Living was a popular choice in tne Home Economics department for juniors and seniors. Daniell Seffrood and Kim Standiford discuss the answers for their Home Economics assignment. Students are given textbook assignments, lectures, and labs to learn skills Jill Swiggum demonstrates the task of sewing on a button. Classes are offered to teach students such survival skills like sewing a hem and they can also expand to satisfy even the most advanced seamstress. Home Economics Department: FRONT; Ms. DeMik, Mrs. Kaderly. BACK; Mrs. Kranig, Mrs. Hart Maria Roberts and table mates look over some notes before class begins As freshmen, the Home Ec options are limited, but for upperclassmen a large variety of courses are available. HOME EC 8S WHEN AM I EVER GOING TO USE THIS STUFF? Mr. Pawlowski, Art teacher at MHS, has just the answer to that question. He feels that students will be able to use some type of art skills no matter what field they go into. Whether a student loves to draw, paint, or sculpt, he will be able to apply it in his future years. While the computer may be able to store data and perform many tasks, a machine will never be able to replace the human eye necessary in deciding what information will go into the computer. Mr. Pawlowski commented, The response an advertisement or piece of clothing will get can only be determined by the trained eye of an artist, making art a necessity for many jobs such as advertising, interior decorating, and clothing design. The students who have Art in their background know how to use their eyes in making important decisions. These decisions may greatly affect the well-being of businesses. Mr. Pawlowski says, The most important thing I try to get across to my students is how to use their eyes- they'll be able to use this ability no matter what they do in the future. Students are finding Art to be much more than a sketch of fruit in a basket, molding clay, or water coloring. The stereotype of Art as a class of talented artists working on hard projects has been forgotten at MHS as students learn how to coordinate their eyes and hands to create something they can be proud of. They are learning a skill which will carry through their years of school and into the job field where they can put it to use. Mr. Pawlowski sits at the podium observing the activities of his Art class. He teaches his students how to use their eyes, something he considers very important. Jenny Carter works on her project during class. She paints with water colors, one of the units that students cover in Art. Julie Rackow holds her paper up to the light at the window. All students in Art use this method of tracing. 86 ART Mr Schilt sits at the piano helping Jim Kummer. They page through the music in order to choose a trombone solo which will be Jim's semester exam grade. IN TUNE WITH MHS “Girls in formals bustle about fixing makeup and combine hair while the boys straighten ties. Is it prom time? No, the fourth and final band concert which the MHS students perform has arrived. All year lone the students practice pieces and organize for the concerts. The final concert is traditionally an elaborate affair with fancy dresses and suits. Three different levels of band are Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Wind Ensemble. Mr. Schilt teaches Symphonic and Wind Ensem ble while Mr. Schneeberger is in charge of the Concert Band Students look forward to band every day. It's the one hour of the dav in which the students can relax stop memorizing history dates and mathematical formulas and just sit back and enjoy the music which they are creating. All band members have lessons. They practice especially hard at home if they wish to “challenge . A student can challenge the student one adjacent step above him and, if successful, can move up a chair. When asked his feelings about challenging, Mr. Schilt commented, “I think it is a better system than in previous years where students had to be judged in front of the whole band. Now it is entire ly out of class. The challenger and person being challenged each pick a judge for themselves and I pick one that I feel would make a good judge. With three judges there can never be a tie, avoiding a lot of confusion. I like the challenge because it allows students to try and better their position in the band. Now that we have the band, we can not forget what goes best with it — the chorus. Right next door to the band. Miss Feldt mixes a variety of musical talent at MHS to a perfect blend of harmony. Like the band students. Chorus members look forward to their hour of singing and learning each day. Chorus student Angie Stingley commented, “It's something you want to do, so it's a lot of fun ana you don t think of it as learning ' The band and Chorus are two very important parts of our high school. The students are not only developing instrumental ability and voices, but, also the mental concentration necessary to understand music. They are right on key, so take some time and lend an ear! Music Department: Mr. Schneeberger, Ms. Feldt, Mr. Schilt. Tim Goldenman plays the xylophone during Band Tim, a member of the per cussion section of Wind Ensemble, has Band every fourth hour.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT 87 YOUNG COLLEGE GRADUATE TO REPLACE MR. WEUVE The social studies department was happy to welcome the youngest member of the staff, Mr. James Tostrud. An honors graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, he majored in Broadfield Social Studies and Economics, obtaining certification in history. Mr. Tostrud said Monroe is a lot like his hometown. River Falls, Wl, so he feels comfortable here. Added to that, the community and friendly people make him feel even more at home. Being a graduate right out of college, Mr. Tostrud said, It's a lot more work being the teacher. It's fun being able to guide and play what the class will do. However, it's hard finding ways to motivate kids.'' Challenges must be faced when starting a new school. Getting used to a new system and gaining respect from students are two of the biggest for Mr. Tostrud. The staff is a very helpful and friendly group of people, and the students are good for the most part and want to learn, commented Mr. Tostrud. Mr. Tostrud enjoys the outdoor, music of the 1960's-1970's, curling, cooking. and all sports. He had always been in sports in the past, in high school and college, and he likes to coach kids. Mr. Tostrud is the tennis coach at the MHS for both boys and girls' J.V. teams. The Monroe High School staff and students gave Mr. Tostrud a very warm welcome. We all hope that Mr. Tostrud has many fun-filled years ahead of him at the Monroe High School. With the help of everyone in the Monroe High School, we hope that we can make his years great.!

The Radio and Television advisors: Mrs. Carter and Mr. Pawlowski. Jon Deininger focuses on the action on the floor of a basketball game. Jon is also a member of D.J. Club. This club is a by-product of the Radio and T.V. class. The club has expanded from last year and has D.J.'d some dances at the Monroe High School as well as the community. RADIO AND TELEVISION EXPANDS EVEN MORE! Communications is a word that is becoming more important in the new wave of technology, and Monroe High School's curriculum was developed to implement that word. The course developed: Radio and Television Communications and Productions Classes. This class, begun during the 1984-85 school year, has now developedinto an even larger class and now has three classes to choose from. The sight of the bleachers filled with the roar of the crowd, the intensity of the players on the field, and the thrill of, yes, another Cheesemaker victory all pertains to the job of Radio and Television. The glorious Cheesemaker football victories during the 1986-87 season and the 1986 State Championship at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison were undefeated memories that needed to be remembered. The trophies, awards, and snapshots just would not do the trick. With the help of the Monroe High School's Radio and Television classes, these memories could be re-lived in the form of a video tape. These tapes were aired to the community over the School District's cable channel f . Radio and Televi- sion also produced Coaches Corner , a show in which head football coach, Pat Mar tin, looked back at previous games and then offered insight into what fans might expect in the team's upcoming contest. Football, however, was not the only sport that gets to be taped, but also basketball and wrestling. Students involved in these productions seldom got noticed on camera, but their efforts became evident in the stands during taping and with the final product. The Howard Cossell” of Radio and Television; a senior, Todd Schluesche, gave an informative play-by-play commentary during the actual taping of the games. Mike Reber answered questions raised by Todd and also by the listeners, as well, Mike gave color-comments accenting Todd's pTay-by-play. Gary Wuthrich, Ken Kosowicz, and Kurt Schulz have watched this year's winning efforts through a one inch television screen monitor as they followed the ball and team member movements down the field. As they focused on the taping of this master tape”, they also monitored the commentary of the announcers, giving assistance with spotting the action on the held. During home contests. Roger Ruch and Jon Deininger had the added excitement of moving up and down the field using a remote camera to tape close-up shots of the action on the field. Joining the cast, when they weren't on the field, were Dave Grimm and Rich Kubly who have served as Floor Managers, Title Generators, and Audio Technicians in the production of Coaches Corner”. There are now three classes taught: Radio and Television, Advanced Radio and Television, and Production in Radio and Television. With these three levels involved, it becomes very evident that as a community service, these students wish to continue tne excitement of taping, producing, and airing tapes. These students endured many long hours in the production of the final master tape”, and they intend to keep producing. Each and every one should be commended for their fine work. Monroe has something to be proud of and something to look forward to . . . Memories. As they years progress more productions will be made and from that, more victorious memories will be remembered . . . forever. KAOIO T V 89 SCIENCE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES NEW FACULTY The Science Department received two new teachers. Mr. Beeth, a graduate of UW Stevens Point, majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. He teaches Science 9, Biology 10, and Consumer Chemistry. He came from Potosi, Wisconsin. When asked how different it was to be a teacher, he replied, .As a student you are constantly on the receiving end of things, lectures, comments, grades, etc. As a teacher you must constantly give — it would be nice if the two could balance. When away from school, Mr. Beeth enjoys cross-country skiing and Photography. Mr. Bower also graduated from UW Stevens Point, but majored in Broadfield Science and minored in Biology. He felt the biggest challenge of starting to teach in Monroe was getting adjusted to a new school. Coming from McClure, Ohio, Mr. Bower enjoys bicycling, cross-country skiing, and most outdoor activities. Mr. Bower teaches Science 9 and Physics. The two new additions to the science department brought a welcome change to the department. Science Department: FRONT; Mr. Pisula, Mr. Stroessner, Mr. Bower. BACK; Mr. Bieneman, Mr. Buvid, Mr. Beeth. Mr. Bieneman explains the Dark Phase of photosynthesis to his sixth hour Biology 11 class. Biology subjects are usually taught with class lectures and note taking. Mr. Bower helps Michelle Bniess with a Physics experiment. Physics is offered to juniors and seniors. Scott Miller works on his chemistry 3 assignment. Chemistry 3 and Consumer Chemistry are offered to students who wish to further their knowledge of chemistry. 90 SCIENCE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT MAKES REVISIONS The business classes had a few minor changes this year. Most of the year-long classes, such as Fundamentals of Business and Keyboarding, were dropped to semester courses. Also, freshmen were allowed to take Keyboarding, instead of waiting for their sophomore year. The business teachers felt that this would give the students a wider variety of class choices. By giving the students the opportunity of taking more classes, the teachers felt the Co-op program would be a better success. Also, some classes had their names revised; for example, Typing 1 is now called Keyboarding. Seven IBM computers were added to the beginning room. and seven more were on order. Also, tables for the new computers were ordered. Also, Mrs. Kaderly, a vocational aid instructor, helped the special education students in one of Mrs. Leopold's business classes. Overall, the changes had a positive effect on both teachers and students. The teachers taught the newly revised classes to a more varied group of students, and the students were able to take a variety of classes. Cheryl Trickel, who is a first year typist, works on her assignment in Keyboarding I. Business Department: FRONT; Miss McLeish, Mrs. Siedschlag. BACK; Mrs. Leopold, Mrs. Zander. Maureen Deignan types an assignment into the computer in her Keyboarding I class. Keyboarding I was also offered to freshmen this year. BUSINESS 91 Mr. Dehn explains a math problem to Stacie Corbin. Mr. Dehn makes a practice of being available in the mornings to help students who have questions. Math Department: Mr. Carroll, Mr. Appel, Mr. Dehn, Mr. Keen, Mr. Glendenning. n r2 =BASKETBALL? I wanted to become a coach for basketball and the only way to be a coach was to become a teacher. Once I got into it though, I found I really enjoyed teaching very much ' That's Mr. Dehn talking, the new teacher for the math department. He teaches mainly the Freshmen and has one Advanced Algebra class. An Oshkosh graduate, he majored in mathematics there. He moved to Monroe in August of 1986 with his wife Mary and found the people here friendly and helpful. The Dehn's have one daughter, Samantha Rose. Mr. Dehn previously taught at Cuba City for six years and says he prefers Monroe much better because it is larger in size. Mr. Dehn likes all sports but especially softball and basketball, of which he is the Freshmen coach. He enjoys teaching at MHS and comments, I'm happy to be a part of this school system — it's nice being one fifth of the math department instead of one half of it like at my previous school. If you haven't had a chance to meet Mr. Dehn, you'll find his room quite easily. It's the one with a towering collection of Mountain Dew cans on his shelf. One can will be in his hand while in his other you will find a box of chalk, most likely borrowed from Mr. Keen, a small price to pay for such a great new addition to our high school's math department. Mr. Glendenning ponders a math problem during a sixth hour class period. Bemie Sarbacker waits his turn for some extra help. Mr. Keen and Mr. Appel are two of our mathematics teachers. They take a little time out of 7th hour to discuss the future lesson plans. 92 MATH EXTRAORDINARY EDUCATION FOR EXTRAORDINARY STUDENTS One more lap and then hit the showers! The kids groan and straggle once more around the track. A typical day of Phy-Ed at Monroe high school? Most people would answer yes thinking no more of Phy-Ed than just as that one hour of torture each day that they must suffer through The truth is there are many different courses available for Monroe students including archery, golf, roller skating, and Mr. Morgan's favorite — cross country skiing. The Phy-Ed teachers at MHS agree that the class has a significant effect on one's performs in all other classes. Ms. McCabe commented, Stimulating the body systems with vigorous exercise could do nothing but good for one's mental outlook — all body processes just run smoother. Another type of exercise is Driver's Education. The class is taught by Mr. Larson and while not requiring physical strength, students must maintain concentration to do well in the course. Students have about a four-week long simulator session plus driving practice with Mr. Larson to help prepare them for their driver's license test. Whether playing soccer or behind the wheel, MHS students are living up to their highest potential. The applause should go to our Phy-Ed and Driver's Ed department for a job well done. Physical Education Department: Mr. Martin, Ms. McCabe, and Mr Morgan Cary Wuthrich pauses from an archery lesson to talk with Brian Leitzinger. Meanwhile. Mark Schluesche takes advantage of an unsupervised moment to jokingly challenge jon Deininger. Mr. Larson uses his time wisely to prepare for future lessons. Mr. Larson is the Driver Education teacher for MHS. Mr. Morgan, one of MHS's Phy Ed teachers, relaxes in the M room between classes. He chats with Wendy Wartenweiler one of many students who take advantage of the M-room as a place to study when using their responsibility passes. PHY ED DRIVER S ED 93 THE ONES IN CHARGE The Instructional Media Center has grown as usual, with more books, a new bookshelf, and a desk for Mrs. Pinnow. The IMC is used by nearly everyone in the school and seems to have problems holding everyone. Mrs. Pinnow says, It is usually common to turn students away during study halls because the IMC is full. The IMC also saw the departure of Mrs. Shum. She moved on to work in the library at the Israelian Embassy in Israel. The Administration had a regular year with no major changes. Mr. Brukwicki went about having meetings with students, Mr. Sathoff attended meetings and looked after the good nature of the school, while Mr. Bruess took care of all sports functions. IMC Aides: FIRST ROW; Tina Harvey, Tiffiny Graham, Brenda Cleaveland, Laurie Schmid. BACK ROW; Ericka Bethke, Bob Leek Mr. Munro, the school's superintendent, addresses the public during the Pep Ral ly that followed the State Championship Football Game. The School Administration: Mr. Brukwicki, vice-principal; Mr. Sathoff, principal; Mr. Bruess, athletic director. 1986-87 School Board Members: FRONT ROW; Mr. Eakins, Mrs Moser, Mr Stauffacher, Mr. Hartwig. STANDING; Mr. Pilz, Mrs. Gibbons, Mr. Curran, Mr Deininger, Mr. Munro. IMC Staff: Mrs. Shum, Mrs. Glendenning, and Mrs. Pinnow. 94 IMC ADMINISTRATION Mrs. Plourde takes a moment to relax from her rigorous schedule. Mrs. Plourde is the new lower classmen guidance counselor. Mr. Duit pauses while passing through the halls. Mr. Duit is the Junior and Senior guidance counselor. HEY WHO'S THAT? Every year MHS sees new faces whether they are freshmen, transfer students, or new teachers. But, this year, we saw a new face in a completely different area-a brand new counselor. Her name is Mrs. Plourde, a slightly crazy and good natured counselor, from Prairie du Lhien. She previously counseled grade school students for three years. Mrs. Plourde went to high school in Evansville, she tnen went to Platteville where she received a degree in sociology. For her graduate work, she went to UW-Madison where she received a degree in Guidance. Currently she is married, with one daughter, and resides in Monroe. As far as counseling goes, Mrs. Plourde says she likes counseling at Monroe. She claims it's a change from grade school kias; a bigger challenge. She also likes the size of the school and the city of Monroe. As far as faculty goes, she gets along with everyone pretty well. Mr. Duit, our other counselor, especially nas helped her out. Some of Mrs. Plourde's nobbies and interests include: singing, needle point, and crossword puzzles. She also enjoys downhill skiing and watching baseball. Mrs. Plourde is a regular attender oY MHS sports activities. Mrs. Plourde definitely has the right personality for a good counselor, she is good natured, slightly crazy, and easy to get along with. She will be a nice addition to the school. Secretaries: Mrs. Bruess, Mrs. Schmid, and Mrs. Sanderson. Mrs. Schmid intently works at her typewriter, while Mr. Duit calmly strolls through the office. They always make their jobs seem easier than they really are. Aides: Ms. Esber, Mrs. Hessel, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Leopold, and Mrs. Katzman. SECRETARIES ADMINISTRATION 95 TMR EMR Staff: Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Ward. INSTRUCTORS PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE TMR (Trainable Mentally Retarded) and EMR (Educable Trainable Retarded) deal with teaching students things they can use when they get out of high school. The students are not necessarily taught math, English, and history, but skills they will need for life. The students learn to read, and have basic communication and writing skills. In addition to these, they also deal with behavior patterns and motor coordination. Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Butler, and Mrs. Wheeler, the instructors of the class give them prevocational instruction to prepare them for jobs, usually factory work. For experience in working, they do the stapling and cutting of paper in the school, plus they fill the juice vending machine. 96 TMR EMR NURSE Janitors Mr Sanderson, Mr. B Stauffacher, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Hess, Mr. Hughes Cooks Mrs. Buri, Mrs Edmunds, Mrs. Wenger, Mrs. Iverson, Mrs. Adcock, and Mrs. Wichelt. After class, Mr. B Stauffacher cleans the Biology room. Mr. Stauffacher is one of five Janitors responsible for the beauty of the school. THE FORGOTTEN ONES JANITORS COOKS There are people in MHS who go unnoticed everyday. These people work very hard and seldom get a thank-you, yet the school can not do without them. No, they are not the teachers or administration, they are the cooks and janitors. The janitors put in eleven hours a day, from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. They do all the cleaning in the bathrooms and rooms, they dust, mop the floor, shovel snow, and perform many other tasks. In the summer-time, they wax the floors, clean the desks, paint the rooms, and do other odd jobs. The janitors are responsible for this immaculate school. The cooks also begin early in the morning. They start at 6:30 a.m. and work till 1:00 p.m. They prepare lunch for several hundred students a day. In addition, they also clean tables, dishes, and the kitchen. Without cooks to prepare lunch, over half of the student-body would not make it through the day without being hungry. The school would be a disaster area without the assistance of the cooks and the janitors. JANITORS COOKS 97 Taking a few minutes out for fun at a Key Club Basketball Concession stand. John Raettig attempts to cram Tami Masshardt into a trash can. Both Juniors are third year members and officers of the service club. Section PICTURE PARANOIA Lights, camera-M-Book picture time has arrived! Grumbling, moaning, frustration, and complaining accompany the wonderful day when underclassmen pictures are taken. Students preen in front of mirrors just to realize that they have to sweat through a few laps around the track during phy-ed before their pictures are taken. Although they try to convince they gym teachers pictures are more important than running, they fail and end up sweating anyway. Walking into the lecture hall, students are lined according to height. As they near the stage upon which the dreaded camera sits, they frantically check hair, arrange collars and touch up last minute articles. To keep occupied, they chat together about how stupid pictures are, about how they know their pictures will be terrible, about how everyone else in the room looks, and about how pimples spring up from nowhere over night. Juniors are the loudest complainers. They brag that this will be the last time they ever have school pictures taken. However, as students round another year and reach the senior level, they must face the antagonizing problems of having the exalted senior pictures taken. No matter how much paranoia went into the pictures on the following pages, we would like to take our hats off to all the students of MHS! CLASS SECTION At a boy's basketball game, janeen Bruce and Car-ne Ballard laugh as they enjoy a joke. Many students congregate in the gym to support the winter athletes. On their way to school, Cari Wild and Nancy Voegeli near the parking lot. Although students do walk to school, most prefer to hitch a ride whenever possible.

The door closes and you're left alone with two, wailing, runny-nosed toddlers with their faces pressed against the window glass. Yes, you're baby-sitting on a Friday night, highschool's number one sin! Your social life may be destroyed but you are down to your last dollar with no chance of a hand-out from Dad since you already owe him $20. You cram a couple of Saltine crackers in each mouth and check out the contents of the refrigerator. With a plate of leftover spaghetti in one arm and Michael and a jar of baby food in the other, you seat yourself in front of the T.V. Just your luck, the T.V. is on the blitz and who wants to do homework on a Friday night? At the same time you discover this, Susie empties the entire box of fish food into the aquarium and is stirring it with her pudgy arm! BABYSITTING ON A FRIDAY NIGHT With Michael fed, you begin changing a very cranky Susan, who now smells like the seal tank at the zoo. In the middle of this, the phone rings. You leave Susie on the floor in order to pick up the receiver in the other room. A loud bubbly voice asks if you can go out with the gang tonight and can't stop laughing when you inform her that you have to baby-sit till 12:00 midnight. You hurriedly tell her that you have to go when a bloodcurdling scream comes from the living room. Running to see what happened, you find Susie wringing out her wet diaper into Michael's tennis shoe while Michael pokes himself with the safety pins and screams. This is too much! It's only quarter to 8:00, but, both children are changed into pajamas within minutes, and throwing tantrums because they do not want to go to bed. You carry them both upstairs to bed. Coming back downstairs, you fall exhausted onto the couch. This time when the phone rings, you are expecting the giggly voices of your classmates joking about your predicament. Instead, a sinister, muffled psychopath asks if you have checked on the children yet, sending chills up your spine. You double-bolt the door. Although you have realized that the call was a practical, supposedly humorous, joke of an obnoxious classmate, you still can not stop that spine tingling sensation. Too scared to move, you sit in a rocking chair remembering old horror movies until the parents return. This torture may seem too much to be worthwhile, but all this changes as you are handed a crispy, tax-free ten-dollar bill and driven home. So it was a Friday night, but there will be others. It looks as though nothing could go wrong until you are stepping out of the car and the parents ask, By the way, what are your plans for next Friday night? -Lori Schiller Tammy Derendinger Tracy DeVoe Troy Dietmeier Denise Dillon Jackie Drake April Dreikosen Jim Drews Dan Drye Jason Dwyer Jayson Edmum Mike Ellefson Scott Elliott Toni Elmer Tyler Erlandson Jenny Farris Con Feldt Ryan Femstaedt Amy Flanagan Amoer Fox Chad Friedli Dan Fry Tony Fuchs Kandi Furniss Travis Gille Kiel Gobeli Steve Goecke Toby Goecks Deana Goepfert Jon Goldenman john Goltz Stacy Grinnell Cindy Grossen Jeanne Grossen Stuart Grossen Paul Gruenberg Steve Gruenberg Eric Gutzmer Gretchen Gutzmer Daryn Hanna David Harmon FRESHMFN 101 Brad Harpstrite Tina Harvey Tim Hayes Mike Hess Gregg Hessel Stacy Hoefer Lisa Hoesly Jamie Holmstrom Melissa Kaiser Ambur Klein Sheila Klemm Michelle Klentz Scott Klippel Jenny Knepel Jenny Koch Robin Koning Kevin Krueger Jim Kruger Dan Kunaert David Lancaster Tom Leek Jill Lehnherr Troy Lehnherr Chris Leopold Michelle Leverton Jamie Lickes Jason Lostetter Scott Lyons Lisa Maaske Cindy Mader Roberta Martin Kim Marty Todd Massharat SPIRIT SPECIALTIES OF MHS The day of the bie game has finally arrived, and the entire student body bubbles with enthusiasm. As students walk down the hall, they look at funny-shaped pieces of paper stuck on various lockers. Each thing has the words GO BIG RED written on it. Names appear on these things that are finally recognized as locker decorations. Many people wonder why the cheerleaders and the Pep Club go to the trouble of putting the silly looking things up. Promotion of school spirit and pride in our athletic students are two very good reasons. Most of the athletes do appreciate locker decorations, but a few don't care either way. Some athletes feel that locker decorations give them added support. Mark Inman feels the same way, but thinks that all sports should be recognized, not just football, basketball, and wrestling. What about sports like cross country or track? For the athletes who don't appreciate them, Gary Wuthrich summed it up the best wnen he said that locker decorations are dumb along with a few other elaborate descriptions. Overall, the reaction to locker decorations make them worth the time and trouble, no matter how silly some people think locker decorations look. After all, if they make the athletes feel just a little bit more proud of themselves, locker decorations are serving their purpose. -Kris Rasmussen Waiting for friends after school, Craig Blumenthal casually leans up against a locker.

BRACES?! 1 was told I needed braces. Well, let's take a look at what's involved! The dentist said braces were needed. No way was I going to get braces. My teeth weren't crooked, were they? Well, 1 took a look. Holy Moly! 1 had never seen anything like this before. The dentist had been right, I needed braces. I hate braces! I hate my orthodontist. I should have bitten his fingers off. My teeth hurt like crazy. I could not eat. Everything tasted like metal. I could not chew. I would have to starve for the rest of my life! Trying to eat without getting food in my braces was impossible. Trying to get the food out was another story. Sucking it out or even picking it out with my fingernail would not do the job. We're talking major brushing. Getting up an extra fifteen minutes early in the morning was not what I expected. The brushing rocedure for braces was a pain, rush this way, floss that way. Once a day wasn't bad, but three times? 1 hated braces. Then there were those dang sore spots in my mouth. Why didn't they tell me about the dumb things? Sure, after 1 got the sore, they gave me the wax. Why me? Why? Getting cracks in the corners of my mouth was not my way of put- Out of cUm on a |u .

Just coming back from my last appointment could have been my happiest moment since I had gotten my braces on. The orthodontist told me the braces could come off in a few weeks. Finally! I could not believe it. My braces could come off. Tightening the braces was the worst possible pain I could have ever experienced. Pulling here, tugging there. Bleeding gums: Gross!! One thing that really ticked me off was getting a cavity while wearing braces. Why would I have wanted more metal when I had so much already! The final day came along. A snip here and there — ick! Slime teeth!! Whew! Thank goodness he cleaned them. Wow!! My teeth were really and truly straight. Incredible! Well, 1 thought having braces was all worth the trouble. In fact, I thought 1 could even recommend them to a few buck teeth people. 1 really would not have minded having them again. That's good, said the orthodontist. Now we can talk about the retainer.

The time has come!! Everyone gets to take Driver's Education!! Tnat entails six weeks of the Simulator!! The simulator gives one real-to-life examples of driving. It helps reflexes needed for driving. It teaches one when different actions (such as turning, starting and stopping) should be done and how to do those maneuvers. It also familiarizes one witn the basic structure of a car. What I have just related is a typical textbook definition of the Simulator . So, what really happens? Does the entire mechanism work ideally? First, one prays that it is not raining and that the door is not locked. The heat is never on and the windows are almost always open. The simulators are very old autos that have very minimal abilities. They teacn one how to reduce speed quickly (so that one does not get caught going 80 in town!!). No matter how nard one tries to run over a pedestrian, the car does not follow. On the other hand, if the car decides to run over a small child, there is no way to use preventive measures. They also show how slowly one can react while the car keeps doing what it wants. They visually demonstrate how advanced technology has become since they made our simulation movies! One can also learn how to improve eyesight enough to do homework in the dark while supposedly driving. The simulator also lets one catch up on lost sleep for an hour or so. All-in-all, tne definitions are quite opposite of each other. Although most students make fun of the simulator before, during, and after their experience with the car, they are still aided by participating in the course. For students who have never had experience behina tne wheel (since their tri-cycle), the simulator provides a useful orientation into driving. Still, all-in-all, every student has to develop his own definition of The Simulator -Christi Schneider French student Cathy Brand enjoys a few moments of leisure time before class begins.

Are their palms a little moist? Do they have trouble speaking? If the answer is yes to any of these, the people being spoken of are probablv nervous. Such characteristics could even describe one about to ask a special someone for a date. This feeling is generally felt more in males than females. But, at certain times during the school year, more girls in Monroe High School begin to experience such anxieties. Generally, this phenomenon occurs a few weeks preceding February 14. Yes, Valentine's Day! In our high school this means Tum-A-Bout. In some schools it may be named the Sadie Hawkins Dance, but it still means the same thing-the girl must invite a boy to the dance. For many girls, the time has come to let that exceptional male know she cares. It is a aate carefullv planned in advance which will hopefully prove to be heavenly.

Then before asking the big question, she usually tries to find hints as to what the answer may be. The actual day and time of popping the question can be very crucial Enough time must be allowed before the dance: in case she loses courage upon seeing the object of her demands, and to give the male a chance to think about it. The proper time of day is important, since many prefer to inquire far away from the crowded halls full of listening ears. Finally, the day has come. She has waded through butterflies, weak knees, and he nas said — yes! Now, the hard part is over, right? Well... New worries include what dress to wear, what flowers to buy, where to eat, will there be enough to talk about?, etc. Does one single night make all this worth it? To many girls, the answer is yes.

During the basketball and football seasons fans fill up the stands to cheer their team to victory. The intense fans anxiously await for their team to win. When tne winning point hits the scoreboard with one second left in the game, the crowd starts to roar while running down to congratulate the team members on their victory. When all the “Great Jobs! are given out, the parents and the non-high school students pan out because they know that the Monroe High School students are not through for the evening. Lines start forming. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the door opens. Everybody pushes and shoves to get to the door. Now, where are these students going? The obvious answer-the M-room. The music plays loudly. Kids begin jamming in tne lines. Playing the “in'7songs of the 80's along with songs from tne 50's and 60's, the D.J. joins in on all the fun by dancing with the wild teens. Many students show off their dancing and breakdancing talents in contests for which the D.J. offers prizes such as hats, frisbees, T-shirts, and even record albums. After many fast songs, the slow songs start. Guys plaster themselves against the wall; instantly becoming wall flowers. Girls wonder about dancing with each other while snickering at the guys. Of course, the couples aancing on the floor are glued to each other. The fast music starts — students once again go wild and crazy starting trendy dances to some of the popular songs. Finally, after hours of bouncing, screaming, and dancing, the wild evening ends. Some students totter to weary to move about, while others rummage through piles of jackets to find their own. Yet others still dance about in the parking lot. After hours of fun and enjoyment one would think the students would stop yelling and screaming at each other, but one has to remember that the music velocity hits its peak at an MHS dance. No one who enters comes out with perfect hearing and it's very rare to ever gain hearing back because there are more dances to encounter in the MHS year. Hopefully everyone will be able to experience an MHS dance during their MHS career. After all, this is the only time students can listen to their favorite music as loud as their hearts desire without the fret of parents complaining to turn down the music. -Heidi Brockman During French class Melissa Peters eats a snack.

Well, Rob, I think macaroni and cheese. Oh grand, 1 very much dislike macaroni and cheese.' You too, huh? Rob, why don't we go someplace else to eat? Great, but where?! Everyday at MHS people ask their friends similar questions. Now as everyone knows, Monroe does not have an over-abundance of places to eat. There is McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Hardees, Pizza Hut, and of course, the school's lunch. All of them can provide you with a well balanced diet, but each also has its advantages and disadvantages. The school gives one all four required food groups for a dollar. However, it does not offer as much of a variety as the other places, but of course, one must be willing to pay for that variety. The majority of people stay at school and eat in the M-Room, whether it be a sack lunch or school lunch. The main reason for this is they either do not At j My Fair l-ady rrhearsal.

Sure, there are circles of friends, but the term clique has definitely vanished. A person usually notices one f articular activity that a group of riends enjoys together: things like football and other sports, cheerleading, or band. Because of these different activities, most of these people have been stereotyped: the dumb jocks, the dizzy cheerleaders, and the band fags. Names such as these should be abolished. Take the jocks . They spend a lot of their time practicing tneir particular sport. They refine their abilities up to a good performance level. Just because they aren't studying ten hours a day doesn't mean tney are dumb. How many people can actually say they study more than athletes? In order to succeed, athletes have to put in long practice hours plus their studies on top of that, so most of them are working harder than the rest of us. How many people can honestly say they know what a herky or a stag ' is? They are two types of jumps that most cheerleaders strive to perfect. The cheerleaders spend much of their time practicing and creating cheers, making routines, and practicing stunts ana pyramids. The hard work and dedication that cheerleaders put into cheering is an effort that deserves praise, not put-downs. The MHS Band system has the same dedication and drive from their members, also. Mr. Schilt explained the idea of cliques very well by aescrib-ing the Bands as an association. This association builds certain relationships where young members of the band can benefit from older members of the band. That's where the friendships n. hether they are athletic or into music, these people are like everyone else. They have special talents that give them pride. Inside of everyone, there is something to be proud of. -Kris Rasmussen During football season. Varsity Cheerleader Lynne Paulson has to contend with a day at school.

What is it that drives people to this insane task? Could the reason be hunger or is it just a safety measure used to lower insurance premiums? The logical reason for crawling out of be twenty minutes early to eat should be hunger. But even in a sleepy state how appealing are Coco Puffs drowned in Kool-Aid? Surely one would wonder who would eat Coco Puffs (or any cereal) in Kool-Aid. The answer is anyone who grabs the wrong pitcher from the refrigerator and notices the almost fatal mistake too late. Runny cold eggs or burned toast aren't all that exciting of a meal either. Therefore, hunger isn't a logical reason. To find the answer to this profound question, one must look at those people who don't eat breakfast. More importantly, look at their insurance premiums. Confusing? Not really. Breakfast gives a person twenty minutes to wake up before performing dangerous tasks. One can always tell the breakfast skippers from the breakfast eaters easily. The breakfast skippers have burns all over their necks because they fell asleep while curling their hair. Breakfast skippers also have a tendency not to match because they throw on clothes with their eyes closed. A word of caution: don't confuse the breakfast skipper with the rodent that just doesn't know how to dress yet. So please, eat breakfast. If not for yourself, for your family and friends. After all, everyone would be horribly upset if you choked on your toothbrush or Scope. -Julie Schutz Angie Stingley Lisa Stoneback Kellee Street Jeff Sullivan Mark Templeton Sean Thomas Luke Thompson jean Thurlemann Tami Tschudy Tanya Tupper Cassie Van Horn Jennifer Vita Jeremy Voegeli Nancv Voegeli Rita Vogel Claudine Walden Wendy Wartenweiler Steve Wasil Terese Watkins Rob Weber Barry Whalen Craie Whitaker Tari Whitehead Nicole Wichelt Cari Wild Doug Williams JulieWilliams Trisha Williams John Witt Rick Wuebben Brian Wyss Pam Wyttenbach Cole Youngs Marcy Youngwith Ann Zeitler Shawn Zentner Pat Zimmerman IUNIORS 117 Donald Alston Michelle Amacher Thomas Ambrose Robert Ammon Barbara Augsburg Darci Bandi Rebecca Bansley Annette Bartels Edward Bauman Michael Baumgartner Tracy Bear Anthony Beaver Lynn Bechtolt Mark Bechtolt Brian Bennett Mario Moran, AFS exchange student from Honduras, eats a hearty meal at the FHA Homecoming Kick-Off Breakfast.

Wisconsin has only recently raised the age from 19 to 21, having taken effect September 1, 1986. Students in high school snould not have been affected by this change, since most have not reached 19 by graduation. However, many students within Monroe High School do feel strongly about his new law. A survey was taken among Monroe High School students concerning their thoughts on the 21-year-old drinking law. Students surveyed ranged from age 15 to 18, and only 10% voiced no opinion. Of the students polled, 29% did not feel that the law should be changed. They felt it was fair enough tor teens today. This very disputed law has found its share of disagreements within our high school, also. 61 % of the student body felt the law is unfair and should be changed. The students had many concerns about the results of the law. A common feeling was best stated by Angie Stingley when she said, I don't think it's fair because at age 18 the government thinks we are responsible enough to serve our country, but .. . not responsible enough to drink. Another worry students had was about the amount of drinking that will be done illegally and the accidents that many result. As stated by Steve Wasil, I feel that raising the drinking age will not stop teen-age drinking, but will stop teenagers from drinking responsibly, like in the confines of a tavern ... It will force teens to cars and that will only be more trouble. Mr. Brukwicki felt, It won't make a difference since it was illegal for high school students at age 19. It is still illegal at 21. Students should not be affected. This controversy will not find an answer today. Is 21 the answer? Only you can decide. -Julie Andrews Kristin Bieneman Shawn Bilgri I-ancc Blaster Dean Block Brent Bloom Darrin Blum Kelly Blum Kevin Bohren Gottlieb Brandli Bren ton Brayko Rick Bennett Curtis Berndt Kristine Berry Robert Beverley Patricia Beyers Amid the fluries of paper-tom confetti at the State Championship Football Game.

Some do it for a hobby, but some do it just to keep occupied. People have the darndest ways of chewing gum, like twirling or wrapping it around their finger, cracKing it in their mouth, blowing big, fat, loud bubbles, and the worst of all, letting it hang half in and half out of their mouths, which makes the most weirdest, awful noise. After the flavor runs out, people like to have a little fun with gum. They throw the grossest spit balls with saliva Barb Augsburg takes a moment to look over her work before she continues. hanging on it; stick it on seats where people plop their butts down on the gum; stick it under the desks where the janitors spend a lot of time trying to pick it off after it's been there for over a year; throw it on the ceiling, only to have it chunk down on someone's nead; and if that isn't the worst, having people throw it in someone's hair which takes about a week to get out.

Everyone has some, but what are they? Pet peeves are those annoying little habits others possess which are enough to drive someone crazy. The problem with getting rid of those habits is that they don't bother everyone. Some common pet peeves are tapping pencils (continuously, without any pattern to the noise), biting nails, and humming (or singing) out of tune (or not even humming a song-just making strange noises). Most people get extremely annoyed with the person in class that is always beating his pencil against the desk. Every class has one of these freaks of nature. These pencil-tappers sit in class fust to bother others by pounding their pencils for no reason. Even on exam day, while others are concentrating (or trying to concentrate), the pencil-tappers wait for the most opportune moment to start in with their endless little tunes. Biting nails is not quite as awful as drumming pencils. Of course, finding little pieces of finger nails all over a desk when one gets to class is quite disgusting. But, depending on the type of finger nail biter, that at least can be tolerated (with disinfectant) and finger nails don't make any noise. (1 say the type of finger nail biter because some of this elite class can make a lot of of noise if they really want to be annoying.) Humming is worse than pencil tapping. At least pencils can't go out of tune. To be sitting in class and then hear a little tune hummed over and over is enough to make one climb the walls. Trie situation worsens if the tune is recognizable and is being hummed in a dentist-office-music-style. Chances are that (if one ever did like the tune) by the end of the period, one would hate the tune and the person humming it. Even worse is when you start humming that insane, stupid little tune. Then, instead of one hour of insanity, a person can De tortured with a song all day. Pencil tapping, biting nails, ana humming add up to equal pet peeves. They kill concentration and finally, when no one can handle any more torture, the noisemakers stop, just to find a new annoying habit. -Julie Schutz At the College Fair held in the fall, Roger Ruch signs up to receive information.

Bob Beverley casually strolls down the hall during class carrying a magazine and a newspaper SENIORS I WANT MY MTV!!! Anyone familiar with Cable channel 25 has this statement etched onto his brain. To many kids this phrase means rock and roll at its best. Anyone who is anyone in the world of rock music has a video on MTV. Music videos have now become about as unique as a book in a library. MTV started a trend that even the big networks are now following. Videos started five years ago and have now entered into just about every form of music that exists. Most parents despise it; churches cry out in vain against it; — the producers of MTV are laughing all the way to the bank. For those wno don't understand why, take into consideration this rule of thumb: If parents hat it, kids love it. If you don't believe me, check the facts. A survey of the students of MHS found that about two-thirds of the students watch MTV. Besides that, one-fifth of the students watch four or more hours of MTV per week. Looks like MTV has done their homework on what kids want to see on TV. But why do people want to watch MTV? A wide variety of answers for this question was received. Cassie Van Horn replied, It gives you a chance to see your favorite rock singers if you can not go to a concert. Many others feel the same way about MTV. Amy Strait answered, MTV is great. I like watching the music and seeing the bands and concerts and hearing about things that go on in the rock world. From what was heard from the students, this is the main reason people watch MTV. Music television shows what people want to see. MTV is like radio which enables one to see what is happening instead of just being able to hear the music. I like it. It takes the place of stupid shows, added Chris Gutzmer. There are, however, other uses for MTV. Kelly Street noted, It is a great way to help you fall asleep or to watch when you can not fall asleep. There are also some people that watch it for hours on end but do not like it. Gary Campbell, for instance, stated, I do not like it as much as I could because it does not play much of the music I like. Paula Hunt, on the other hand, thought, A few Of the videos are really good. Most are abusive of women. They are usually very depressing. This is where the line of death starts with MTV. Different people complain about abuse on MTV. Many people certainly have never seen it. Tnere have also been complaints about the music played on MTV. Most of the complaints nave to do with the lyrics of the music. But why all of the complaining? The same music, with the same lyrics, is being played day in and day out on radio stations across the country. Admittedly, there is a problem with tne lyrics from some groups, but that is not something that MTV can deal with. It looks like MTV is doing pretty well. They are still doing good in the money department and the complaints against them do not really have a lot to back them up. The channel is also expanding its programming to include specials on things such as fashion and the people involved in music who are not seen every day — like wives of singers. So, if you like MTV, I think you will still be able to enjoy it for a few more years. But, if you don't like MTV, I wouldn't suggest holding your breath until it is gone. -Scott Miller Shelli Mauermann John Mayer Gina McKenna Anastasia McNally Edwin Meighan Kurtis Miller Shad Miller Shawn Miller Christopher Milz Phillip Mittelstaedt Stacy Molene Charles Montgomery Mario Moran David Mueller Kari Mueller SENIORS 125 Brenda Naef Kevin Nelson Daniel Neuenschwander Daniel Norder John Novak Eric Ott Brian Patterson Deanna Perdue Shelly Perry Gregory Peters Shelly Petit Kimberly Pfingsten Traci Phillips Joel Potts Kelly Pulver BIGGER, BETTER, BADDER . . .

I, myself, disagree and so would you if you took a look at the Big Picture. To help you see my point. I'll tell you why I think the bus can be so entertaining. After a long day stuck in school, people let off some highly dense steam on the bus, and when that steam comes in the form of gas, you can watch half of the people in the pack come running up to the front, sit down, and crush the little brats sitting there. The you look back and and see one solitary figure whose face is beet red. It's funny that the smell doesn't even bother him.

There's always that one kid in the back who makes it his job to tell everyone to sit down and that one girl who the guys use as a punching bag.

The first thing that comes to mind is the M-Room. Oh sure, people think about the freedom of leaving school; going home or getting something to eat, doing pretty much what you want. But, doesn't nearly everybody think about the M-Room and going there for all or some part of study hall?! Yes, that's some place where people meet and congregate before and after school, where all the school dances are held, where people during the basketball games converse or complain about the game, and even where people eat their extremely delicious and nutritious lunches. For the most part, the M-Room is thought of as a place to go for study hall if a student has an R.P. Although people leave school during study hall, they often return to the M-Room during the period to chat with their friends about what they are doing the upcoming weekend, about homework, about almost anything. These are people who stay in the M-Room because they have nothing better to do, or nowhere to go. Perhaps they might actually do their homework. The great thing about the M-Room is that people don't have to go to a study hall and be quiet while doing their homework. In the M-Room, a person can talk, goof-off a little bit, and even be slightly wild. As Mike Foster put it, A person doesn't have to worry about being noisy or getting caught for eating or messin' around ' Doing homework in the M-Room can be less stressful because it is not as quiet or as tedious as a study hall. When one does his homework here, he has no hassle when he needs to ask a question of a friend. The relaxed atmosphere allows students to eat and to have a good time. In the end, students probably get more work done in the M-Room than in study hall because they never feel the urge to watch the seconds tick away on the clock. The M-Room has many purposes throughout the day and the year, but most students will agree that a major function is to provide a refuge for students with R.P.'s. Without the M-Room, normal classes would probably be more rowdy since students would never have a chance to blow off steam. -Mark Inman Joel Steinmann Jon Steinmann Jamie Stingley Michael Strahm Amy Strait T roy Strait Lynette Studer Art Sullivan Susan Sullivan Jill Swiggum James Thalacker Heidi Thompson Pamela Thorp Michelle Tindell Jeff Updike SENIORS 129 Keith Vance Robert Vickerman Vanessa Villacrez Bryan Wangnoss Cindy Weckerly Sherrin Weiss Chuck Weldon Gary Welz Jodi Wesley Neil Whitehead Jon Deininger prepares to sit down before his second hour class.

Others include: dropping a food tray while the rest of the lunch room applauds; or on the big day of graduation, casually walking down the hall with a honking big load of books and some nice person comes up to say can I help you? Crash. Books go falling to the ground thanks to that same nice person. Embarrassing moments are wnat every person experiences sometime during his long, four year journey through MHS. For all freshmen who are petrified of getting their books dumped, it is a simple initiation to the school.

Mike was a very active member in his school, church, community and family. A new student his freshman year, Mike endeared himself to all who met him. Mike was a runner. He loved participating in both the fall Cross Country season and the spring Track season. His teammates recognized his strong endurance and dedication. As a runner, Mike showed great stamina by never emitting. His personality did not end with stamina. During his MHS career, Mike often led his peers away from the negative aspects of teenage society. Active in St. Victor's Church, Mike found a special mend in Father Campion. Mike never turned down an opportunity to help others at events such as the Apostolate to the Handicapped. Furthering his role as both a leader and a server to humanity, Mike became a strong member of Key Club International. He had been serving as president-elect of the group during his junior year. A good student, Mike studied German. Enjoying the language, he became involved with the fellowship of his German classmates. He joined Kasemacher, serving in the role of president-elect as a third year member. Mike’s excellent personality carried him into other positions. He accompanied the Monroe Student Exchange group to Georgia where he acquired many new southern triends. As a member of the group, he also hosted a southern student in his home for a week. In the spring of his junior year, Mike was bestowed with the highest honor possible to a junior. He was named as a delegate to the illustrious Badger Boy's State held at Ripon College. Mike's high integrity won him the respect not only of adults, but also of nis peers. None of us were prepared for his death; the student body was shocked with grief. As time passed, the wounds of sorrow slowly began to mend, but the memories did not fade, nor will our memories ever fade. We know that though time and space may separate people physically, in spirit, friends are always one. Our warm love for Michael P.

Graduation was held outdoors with beautiful weather. Class president, Jon Deininger, speaks to everyone present at the ceremony. Deininger's speech revolved around the quote, Live each day as if it were your last, for one of these days you will be right.” With tears in their eyes, Vicki Hyde and Julie Martin hug after the graduation ceremony. 201 seniors graduated with relief and sadness. 134 GRADUATION FACING THE FUTURE WITH RESPONSIBILITY School Principal, Maurice Sathoff, speaks at graduation. Mr. Sathoff presented the top ten percent of the class and the citizenship awards. For thirteen years one prepares for the Final day of Graduation. Despite the preparation, no one ever believes the day will actually arrive. To a five year old, the concept of that period of time is impossible to grasp. By the time one can grasp the idea, the boredom of school has set in and everyone wants to graduate. This year 197 seniors faced the Final day. What did they face? What they faced was the unknown. Some faced the future with tears while others faced it with parties. Yet all faced the unknown with apprehension and uncertainty. The seniors faced the moment together for the last time. Together and completely alone. Together the seniors were leaving High School behind. Together they faced the future's questions without answers. Yet, they possessed the knowledge that they were on their own and alone. The seniors would be losing friends that were still in high school, going to college, or joining the military. They would be leaving their parents, their home and their friends. After graduation, the seniors had a whole life to start by themselves. No one would pick them up when they fell and no one would tell them what to do. 197 seniors facing the unknown. After thirteen years of preparation, seniors graduating and still not believing their school is over. Singing Canon in D , Brent Brayko and Lee Wunschel as seniors join in with the chorus.

From that first hello to that last good-bye, this year has definitely been a year to remember. Our football team took us all the way to Camp Randall stadium where the championship game was won by the undefeated team. New faculty came to teach students a few recent facts. Clubs took trips across the United States and beyond the borders of the country. Cramming facts for exams took place. Freshmen entered a new universe at the beginning of the year while seniors left an old world behind at the year's end. Prom brought heaven into the couple's eyes. Loves were won and lost. Sophomores purchased class rings and took their driver's license tests. Groups performed many different talents. Capstone built a house unique from all other houses because of the friendships made on the building site. The Fine Arts Fair brought new culture to MHS. Actors spent hours memorizing lines. People sold many different items for their specific causes. Athletes competed; sometimes winning and sometimes losing. Friends fought and forgave. Boys wore mini-skirts to school. The entire student body battled the heat in shorts. In a year's course, many events occurred. Some the entire school knew about; some they'll never know about. Good times, but bad times as well, took place. For all the little things you remember, for all the collage events that helped to shape the MHS of 1987, we take our hats off to you and to MHS! Rounding a comer on the home cross country course. Harrier Gail Brukwicki glances to see how the competition is doing. CLOSING 151
