M BOOK 1988 MONROE HIGH SCHOOL MONROE, WISCONSIN 53566 VOLUME LVI Leaving Our MARK High school is a period in one's life that is not easily forgotten. Teens are told it is the prime of their life. With this in mind, students take this chance to leave their mark on the school and the community. This is also a time when the years spent going to high school leave a mark on each students life. During the four years, students learn a great deal. Of course, they learn the basic academics offered, and learn some specialized subjects, also. The students at MHS left their mark with the ideas they brought into each class that was more unique and dif- ferent than classes before them. In preparation for adult life, students involved themselves in many activities to find area that may be suitable to them for a lifetime. Extra-curricular clubs, music, and sports gave students chances to find their hidden and great talents. The 1987-88 school year still found students who tackled new challenges and brought new concepts into the classrooms. The class of 1988 had its unique qualities and made this year their chance to live forever in the halls of Monroe High School. At the beginning of study hall, Brenda Stauffacher and Wendy Wartenweiler enjoy their freedom with RPs in the M-room. To get a head start on his homework, Todd Its works diligently on his English assignment. Four years of English has become a requirement for graduation. Looking toward the future Jared Williams and Jason Lostetter consider a college to attend. The college fair was again offered to area students to provide options for life beyond high school. 2 Taking a lunch break. Bill Ramsey enjoys a school lunch. Sean Thomas, alias the “Church Lady , interviews Mr. Martin at a pep rally. Both gave their opinion on the upcoming football game. Mrs. Plourde and Gail Brukwicki anticipate the Homecoming dance as they decorate the M-room for the event. The dance made an excellent ending to the exciting week. 3 Looking toward the finish line, HoundsMark Lueck and Jason Coppes give their strongest efforts. Cathy Brand wonders if maybe she could make her hair do the same thing. By attending the college fair, she learned is beauty school was truly her life's ambition. Juniors and seniors found the M-room a good place to work on homework. With a group effort, Chrissy Babler, Mary Lynn Meier, and Matt Koning discuss the right answer. 4 Alan Rufer ponders whether he will have enough time to finish his project before the end of the period. Whether for a hobby or for a practical reason, students elected to take an Industrial Arts course. • Mark Rinehart uses wisely the time given to him for his mechanical drawing assignment Mark, like many others, explored various options offered in the Industrial Arts program. Seniors Melissa Holmstrom and Nola Morrell look for another interesting college and another option for their life. Many juniois and seniors attended the college fair to make future plans. ■■ v 5 llL vniiii LitUiite Get set! Go! Into the race of life, that is. Students at MHS are just at the starting line of that great race. With practice, hard-work, and self-discipline, they will truly suceed. Some have found ways to learn these lessons by participating in sports. The results of their training can be seen form the football field to the tennis court. The Cheesemaker football team, the girls' volleyball and basketball teams, to mention only a few, showed their great efforts. And , so on throughout the year the excellence continued. Students gaining that competitive edge and dedication will carry those lessons with them the rest of their lives. Escaping his pursuers, Scott Mellentine heads for a touchdown. The freshmen football team had hopes of one day reaching Camp Randall one day themselves. Kevin Leuzinger leaps into the air to make the shot. Kevin was a part of the Varsity Boys Basketball team. 6 Looking for a open teammate.

Michele Denor cheers at a pep rally t tUL.Li.ft: 7 A Tribute to The Monroe Cheesemakers As I sit and ponder over Saturday night's game I can't help but think, you're feeling the blame. NO ONES to blame, the chips didn't fall When we needed the yards, with our player's regular calls. You gave it a good shot, and received second place With disappointment and heartbreak displayed on your face. True leadership qualities were exhibited by you all, It made Monroe proud to be a part of this all. I'm proud of each and everyone of you. And want you to know many others are too. So hold your head high and think of the past. Twenty-nine good wins are sure going to last. The Monroe Cheesemakers ended another successful, but sad season with a 12-1 Conference record taking the Badger Conference Championship for the second year. Monroe also took the second place slot in the WIAA Division 2 state game against Middleton. l.ast year the Monroe Cheesemakers ran away with both the Badger Conference Championship and the state title. The Cheesemaker s season was almost a repeat of last year's season; except for the final game — the state championship game at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. We had fans, the team, the support, the spirit. What else could one possibly ask for? The gold trophy! The Monroe Cheesemakers did bring home a trophy, but it wasn't gold. Statistically, the Grid-ders ate the Middleton Cardinals for supper The Cheesemakers defense allowed the Cardinals just one first down and eight total yards-28 yards passing and a negative 20 yards rushing. Offensively, Monroe barreled down the field for 198 total yards and 11 first downs. However, when the final gun sounded, the score told differently — Middleton 7, Monroe 6. Early in the second quarter Middleton's Todd Samuel blocked a Kory Stoehr punt at the Monroe 26 yard line. Samuel grabbed the ball and ran until Stoehr knocked him out of bounds at the three yard line. Middleton scored on the next play leaving the Cheesemakers, for the first time, behind the opponent. Middleton held most of Monroe's drives. Monroe's offensive line had trouble pushing Middleton aside; the first time this had happened all season. Monroe's first score wasn't until the third quarter when the Middleton punter lost control of a low snap. Monroe pounced on the ball at the Middleton 28 and scored seven plays later. The punt failed floating to the left of the goal posts, leaving Monroe trailing by one point. Unfortunately, that's as close as Monroe was going to get. The game was filled with turnovers for both teams. Monroe fumbled three times losing them all and throwing one interception. Middleton lost three of its six fumbles. The yellow flag was thrown quite frequently. Monroe was penalized eleven times for 65 yards, the Cardinals were penalized three times for 25 yards. A devastatingly close game leaving Monroe with the loss. From the Monroe Cheesemaker s football team, ten cheesemaker gridders were mentioned in the All-Conference listing, and four received all — state honors. Eric Benzschawel, Pat Zimmerman, and Ron Markham went both ways for the Monroe football team and were honored by the Badger Conference, plus the Wisconsin High School Football Coaching Association p;aced the trio on its defensive all-state team. Rick Gordon was voted to the offensive teams for both the Badger Conference and the all-state squads. At the defensive end, the 6-5 215 pound Benzschawel led the Cheesemakers in quarterback sacks with 13. Markham, a 5-11 185 pound linebacker, led Monroe in tackles with 23 and 71 assists, and 9 QB sacks. Zimmerman, a 6-3 185 linebacker, had 7 solo tackles, 53 assists and 9 QB sacks. As a running back, Gordon,5-10 195 pounds, rushed for 1548 yards in 274 attempts and scored 11 touchdowns. Other football players receiving all-Conference honors were linebacker John Witt, first team defense and honorable mention offense; running back Bnan Dillon, first team offense; defensive back Greg Hilliard, second team offensive; running back Barry Einbeck, second team offensive; Tom Witt and Dan Frehner, both honorable mention defense; and Brad Moellenbemdt and Rich Kubly, honorable mention offense. The Cheesemakers' season was another memorable one; certainly nothing to look down upon. Once again, the efforts of the entire community pulled together and backed the football team to another year of Cheesemaker victories. The outcome of the season may not have been as planned but the community was still optimistic. The Cheesemakers will always be number one in our eyes. Again, a big thanks to all those supporters and to the Monroe Cheesemaker Football Team-THANKS for the MEMORIES-1987 MHS!!! Junior running back, Rick Gordon takes a hand-off from quarterback Rich Kubly. Gordon had another successful rushing season with 1548 yards. Brian Dillon, a senior tail back, looks for some running room to get the first down. Another senior running back, Barry Einbeck, squirms out of a tough tackle to get a few more yards. 8 Varsity Football Monroe Varsity Cheesemakers' Football Team: Front: Randy Seffrood, Ryan Femstaedt, Greg Hilliard, Kevin Leuzinger, Mark Rufenacht, Dave Wuetrich, Rick Gordon.Row 2: Tom Witt, Greg Boll, Nick Huber, Rich Kubly, Brian Dillon, Dan Frehner, Craig Anderson, Rich Ayen.

Any teenager walking home from school or whoever just happened to be in the vicinity of Monroe High School during football season would have shaken in their shoes and thanked the stars that they weren't on the team. Mr. Patrick, freshman coach, could be heard all the way to Fort Atkinson telling his players to do one more push up or run that last lap. He was assisted by Mr. Samelstead, and the J.V. coaches were Mr. Scott and Mr. Glendenning. It was this grueling practice that put our teams on top this year. The J.V. team finished 8-1 this season and the Freshmen were 3-1-1. We have all the reason to be proud of them, for their determination and effort paid off.

The team not only finished 8-1 overall, 6-0 in conference, but won the Badger Conference Championship at Powless as well. Mr. Larson, varsity coach, commented, What a fantastic group of kids to work with, not only on the court, but off the court as well. The J.V. girls played an outstanding season as well. Although placing third at the Conference tournament, the girls showed how tough they were by being undefeated in the regular season. Mr. Tostrud, Junior Varsity coach, commented 'Although we placed third in the Conference meet, we were undefeated in our conference season. I think that's something to be proud of, we were tough this year. Both teams put forth incredible effort this year. The girls' tennis teams have shown to be a great asset to Monroe High School's sports. Great job, girls! Heidi Mayer puts all her force into her shot.

Girls Tennis 11 Not Running Scared When speaking of an unusual team or season in general, one must think of the 1987 Boys Cross Country team, since the Hounds had both. The Hounds had a lot of fun this year, said Coach Bruess, but at the same time they were dedicated runners. This showed in their individual as well as their team stats. Some of this dedication was shown by special team members like Phil Bemhagen, who earned the Rookie award, Todd Masshardt with the Most Valuable, and Jason Coppes with the Most Improved. Freshman Adam Conti was voted Most Improved. We are all looking forward to next year's team, when 14 of 15 runners will return. The only runner who will not return next year is Captain Terry Endres, who the Hounds lost to graduation. So look out Sauk and Madison! We have shown how good Monroe can be with some less experienced , new runners. Next year we'll be even better when our runners return to run you off the course.

While others pile into cars, crank up the tunes, and nead for McDonalds, this group leaves too, in fact. But after taking a quick warm up, they're back for tne more strenuous work out that's ahead of them. Being a girls cross country runner is a rare condition. It's medical term is a Harrier. The most common symptoms are thin figures, clothed in a rainbow array of running tights. These Harriers are easily found in the locker room, weight room, and, in colder weather, running through the halls of MHS. The next time you feel a blast of air hit you like a wall, a fluorescent blur pass in front of your eyes, and a call of excuse me! float to your ears, you'll know you have encountered one of the Harriers. There most likely will not be time to introduce yourself, or even say Hi, but you can be glad that the blurs of MHS aren't just running in circles. Our girl's cross country team is a great asset to MHS' sports. Thanks girls! Mary Lynn Meier pays no heed to the fact that she is in enemy territory as she works her way to the finish. Mary Lynn is a senior this year and has been an asset to the Girls Cross Country team. Girls Cross Country 15 Val Colbeck spikes the ball for MHS against Monona Grove.

They finished with a 10-6 Badger Conference record and a 20-7 overall record which is the best ever for MHS. The team easily defeated Janesville Craig for MHS' first Class A Regional Championship. They then moved to sectionals, but fell one game short of a State Tournament berth. At the annual awards banquet, Jodi Indergand was named the MVP while Kim Bacher received the Most Improved award. The Hustler award was given to Melissa Som and for the second year the Spirit award went to Jennifer Vita. Coach Colleen McCabe announced the names of the four players who received All-Conference honors. Jodi Indergand was named Second Team All-Conference while Ellen Sathoff, Jeni Carter, and Melissa Som received Honorable Mention. The J.V.'s suffered their first losses in two years but ended up with an excellent 15-1 record under the coaching of Mr. Dehn. The new freshmen coach, Mrs. Pederson, led her team to a very successful 13-3 season.

Sound familiar? It better! Any student attending a football game fast year should know the Cat Y' referred to the head football coach, Mr. Pat Martin. But who were yelling their hearts out for the team and coach while the game was going on? Whether it was football, wrestling or basketball, our MHS cheerleaders were out there giving their all. Cheerleading was not just wearing a mini-skirt, riding the team bus, and having a 6'4 boyfriend! A lot of practice and time went into cheering our teams to victory. The eirls gave up many other activities to devote themselves to this sport. There is not a fan in the stands who can say that our sports at MHS are not filled with spirit because of our cheerleaders.

Cheerleading Hardwork and Dedication Overcame Obstacles There are a variety of definitions for success. Among them may be included the will to do one's best, regardless of the circumstances. That definition best typifies the 1987-88 edition of the MHS Cheesemaker Varsity boy's basketball squad. With the departure of seven seniors last season, the Cheesemakers filled in the gaps with talented new athletes. They overcame the obstacles and played with intensity, determination, and discipline. The senior members left a solid foundation for the juniors and sophomores (tied for the JV championship) to build upon, but only through continued hard work and dedication. The Monroe Varsity boy's basketball team ended their season with a 3-13 conference record and a 4-18 overall record.

Kory Stoehr grapples for and gains control of the rebound. Stoehr was a starting junior forward. i Varsity Boys'Basketball 19 Free Throw Ladder? The Junior Varsity and Freshman Boys Basketball teams probably wondered the same thing when their season started. But, this system proved to be a great help to the players, motivating them to work harder. The thirteen J.V. players would shoot ten or twelve free throws at each practice and report their scores to Mr. Buvid, J.V. coach. The top person on the team was then given the privelege to shoot any technical fouls, if they came up in the games. Ron Wunschel, a J.V. player, commented, It gives me incentive to try and improve my free throw shooting ability. It is a fair system. Many congratulations went to the J.V. team for placing first in conference. The free throw ladder can many hours of practice can be attributed to their victory.

The Cheesemaker JV and Frosh teams both had successful 1988 seasons. The girls showed great enthusiasm and improvement under the leadership of Coach Keen and Coach Kopf. The JV team ended the season with an overall record of 11-9 and a conference record of 8-8. They proudly reached their goal of a 500 season, the first winning season of this group of girls to date. Angie Mathias led the team with a high 300 points and 152 rebounds. Shanon Martini followed with 112 points for the season. Coach Keen was very pleased with their progress. I was extremely proud of the entire team ' Keen said. They worked very hard all year long and it was my pleasure to be able to work with such a fine group of young ladies. The Frosh team also showed tremendous improvement throughout the season, ending with a 17-7 record. Brenda Heiligenthal's 66 points and 49 freethrows led the team along with Sherry Roidt's 163 rebounds. With such first year success, the girls can certainly expect a bright Cheesemaker future. J.V.

Frosh Girl's Basketball 21 The 1987-88 Monroe High School girls' basketball team exceeded everyone's wildest expectations with a 24-3 record for the season. After a disappointing first game, the girls came back to eventually place second in the WIAA State Tournament in Madison. The victorious season did not come without its sacrifices. While other classmates frequented McDonalds or engaged in other social activities after school, the girls were busy at the hoops — running, shooting, improving. Perhaps, most importantly, they learned that their physical skills were not everything. Teamwork pulled them through to the final and ultimate game, and they showcased this attribute frequently throughout the season. This and the natural skill of the members kept the ball familiar with the Monroe hoop at game time. After much hard work, what began as a far-off dream at the start of the season ended in reality for the 15 Ellen Sathoff evades the Monona Grove defense for a successful shot. Fans anticipate a successful shot by Becky Klemm. The Waunakee defense makes a difficult shot for Jill Wyttenwyler. Cheesemaker Girls Shoot for State team members. The girls' first victory against Oregon was followed by early season victories against DeForest, Fort Atkinson, Waunakee, and Edgewood. An intense game against Monona Grove left Monroe four points behind, only increasing the Cheesemakers' spirit in the following weeks. The remaining 10 games of the regular season all favored Monroe, cumulating with the February 19 win over Middleton. Quite surprisingly, the Monroe team was presented with a cake from the Middleton team, on which the words 'Congratulations, you are 1 to us appeared. Advancing to regionals, the Cheesemakers pushed aside Janesville Parker and Beloit Memorial to qualify to play at the Delavan-Darien Sectionals. Here, the Lake Geneva Badgers and Watertown fell prey to the girls' relentless optimism. The Watertown victory brought the girls one step closer to a dream — State. The dream of every girl on the team had come true — advancement to the Class A state final. The Cheesemakers had defeated 24 teams with only two losses during the season, leaving only Hartland Arrowhead as an obstacle for a state championship. The undefeated Hartland Arrowhead Warhawks, ranked by USA Today as one of the top 10 teams in the nation, overtook Monroe to steal away the gold. Arrowhead showed their final domination over Wisconsin with a 56-32 victory. Monroe, however, was not let down; they walked off the court with a well deserved silver medal. The Cheesemakers girls' basketball team returned to Monroe as first place winners in the eyes of the community. Exhibiting teamwork and skill that would be the envy of any team, the girls' fulfilled a dream that had begun in their Junior High years. 22 Varsity Girls Basketball Varsity Girl's Basketball Monroe Opponent 58 Madison West 31 41 Oregon 19 76 Stoughton 49 60 Rockford Jefferson 32 64 Delavan- Darien 24 54 De Forest 23 52 Fort Atkinson 16 58 Waunakee 52 44 Edge wood 42 46 Monona Grove 42 59 Sauk Prairie 43 60 Middleton 24 36 Oregon 17 72 Stoughton 38 76 De Forest 22 51 Fort Atkinson 25 64 Waunakee 46 41 Monona Grove 39 61 Sauk Prairie 25 53 Middleton 40 43 Janesville Parker 39 47 Beloit Memorial 31 50 I ake Geneva 39 35 Watertown 33 50 Hudson 44 50 Bayport 39 32 Heartland Arrowhead 56 Monroe and Waunakee brawl for the ball at the Waunakee hoops.

Tom won his first match, lost his second, but then withdrew due to an injury. Pat won his first match, then lost his next two. Joh Witt made it all the way to the final, where he lost, taking second place. Mr. Simonis recalled, We had a successful Varsity season, especially as a tournament team. The Monroe team won its own invitational, placed second at the Mineral Point tournament, third at the Midstates Classic, and second at the regional. Several individuals won championships at these tournaments. The team was not as successful in thier dual meet season. They lacked experience in some spots, but the upper weights did especially well throughout the season. Several individuals has outstanding seasons and established somenew team records. Tim Buehler set a record for takedowns with 56. joh Witt made a record in team points with 214.5. The Junior Varsity had a somewhat successful season. Their record was slightly below 500. Tony Fuchs and Nick Petterson wrestled very well at 167 lbs. and heavyweight, respectively. All twenty-two J.V. wrestlers got at least one match one matchin. Overall, it was an extremely successful season for the Monroe team. Their depth in some areas helped them especially int eh tournaments. But the three berths and a second place finish in the State tournament were the highlights of the season.

The boys' dual record was 4-6 going into conference. The team did not fair so well at conference, placing 6th overall. There were some good times and bad times in the season. There were some outstanding performances turned in by some of the boys. Sophomore Jason Coppes turned in a top performance of 4:36.1 in the 1600m. His performace was good enough for the regional championship in that event, the 1600m realy team of Tim Riese, Chris Jones, Jason Coppes, and Dan Whitehead turned in a season best of 3:30.2. The relay qualified for the WIAA sectional for MHS. The 900m shuttle intermediate hurdles turned in a record performance for Monroe at Delevan.

This question was asked of Coach Howard Jubeck, a veteran in the field of track. His answer, It was a great season!'' He hesitated and then said, One of the best ever at MHS! Wow! That is hard to believe. The MHS girls' practically had a monopoly on the Badger Conference Championship over the previaous seven seasons. In fact, through those seven seasons, they only lost it once and even then, it was close. With all those great teams, how can he single out this one as the best? Well, if Coach Jubeck would have put his money where his mouth is, he would have come out way ahead. The Coach wasn't just spitting out words, he had stats and performances to back them up. Here is a list of some of their accomplishments during the 1988 season. They were undefeated in the conference regular season. They won the Badger Conference meet. Not only did they win, they blew the competition away. The MHS girls scored 153 points. The second place team scored a mere 76 points, half the sum of our team's score. Teh team took first at three big invitationals, including the Platteville relays, the Unique Meet, and the Stoughton Invitational. The MHS Harriers also won regionals. Their biggest accomplishment as a team was their WIAA Sectional Championship. The team was also long on individual performances. Jill Wyttenwyler set a record in the 100 high hurdles. Other records set were: Peggy Shreve in the high jump.Tracy Deininger in the shot put, and the 3200 meter relay team of Dawn Tschudy, Katy Deignan,Trish Bloom, and Ellen Schmitz. The team also had quite a few individual Conference champions. The biggest accomplishments of the season were teh six tracksters who made it to State. They were Tracy Deininger in the shot put, Peggy Shreve, High jump, Shanon Martini and Robin Koning in the 400 meters, and the 1600 meter relay team of Katy Deignan,Ellen Schmitz,Martini, and Koning. 28 Girls'Track ... .

Girls Track 29 Netters Win Conference The 1988 tennis season for the Monroe Netters brought about the conference championship for the 10th time in the last 14 years, as well as the first JV Conference Championship in the last decade. The season began with a first place finish in the Stoughton Invitational. During the season, the netters continued their success with third and fourth place finishes at two other invita-tionals. By the end of the season, the team attained a record of 9-1 in duels, including an undefeated Badger Conference record. At the Badger Conference Tournament, the netters took three first places out of four entries, made possible by team members Joe Deignan, Jeff Milz, Chris Larson, and Jean Andrien. Following the regular conference season, the duo of Joe Deignan and Jeff Milz became State contenders after taking first place at sectionals. Four excellent team members — Matt Inman, Barry Whalen, Steve Flanagan, and Jean Andrien — were lost to graduation.

After some early seaons losses, victories over Edgewood, DeForest, Waunakee, and Spring Green brought team spirit to a high, just in time for the tougher competition. Monroe was successful at conference in Stoughton and at the regionals games. The team ended a successful season at the Beloit Memorial sectional with a 324 for sixth place. Coach Klippel summed up the season with We shot the best team average that we've ever had, but it's too bad they didn't play Five and count five (at Conference).

Badger Conference champs and WIAA class A regional champions; the best season, ever, for Monroe baseball. Monroe's battle to get thorugh regionals wasn't pretty, but the unbelievable Cheesemakers pulled through and conquered Oregon 7-3 to take the title. Monroe headed out to the sectional finals as confident as ever and came out with two shutouts including a 6-0 score against Janesville Parker, giving Monroe the sectional title. Now, the class of 1988 took Monroe baseball on a trip to the State baseball tournament in Wausau June 7-9. The Cheesemakers were ranked 5th in the state in the final WIAA coaches poll. The pressure was intense but, the Cheesemakers were on a 19 game winning streak and were hotter than ever; not a whole lot was going to keep them from taking the state title home. Monroe was the only team going to state that had never been there before. Monroe, with good catching, defense, and coaching, was a tough team to beat. Monroe's pitchers, Hilliard-the flame thrower has a 7-0 record; and Dillon-Mr. Finess, has a 7-1 record. Hilliard started the first quarterfinal state game against Milwaukee Tech. Monroe was mentally and physically tough. Nothing was going to stop them from being on top. This attitude couldn't have happenened at a better time.

Monroe had an up and down season, struggling mostly with defense. Offensively, Monroe pounded at the ball. Monroe's leading hitters were sophomore catcher, Valerie Colbeck; starting centerfielder senior Heidi Brockman; and junior 3rd baseman Wendy Sonnenburg. Througout the season Monroe won some key games but also experienced some upsetting and frustrating losses. However, the girls were determined to show everyone what ther were reallu made of. To prove this, Monroe took the regional championship by storm beating Stoughton and swept Oregon,5-3, in an offensive comeback in the bottom of the sixth inning. Monroe went to sectionals determined to play their best, but were beaten by Burlington 13-3 in the first round of sectional games. Altough the hopes of getting to State were very much thought about, Monroe had nothing to sild about; after all they had never gotten this far before. Monroe will be losing three seniors next year: starting centerfielder Heidi Brockman, starting leftfielder Heidi In-dergand, and starting pitcher Carrie Stauffacher. However, with hard work, a positive attitude, and much determination, these spots can be replaced and Monroe Varsity Softball can even go futher next year. To end the season entirely, the softball team had a cook-out and there were awards given out to some of the players. Most Improved Player went to Val Colbeck, who also received Most Valuable Offensive player with a .420 batting average, breaking the school record of .417. Most Valuable Defensive player went to centerfielder Heidi Brockman, who was also chosen to play in the Senior All-Star game on June 11 and alos made 2nd team all-conference as an outfielder, missing 1st team by three votes. The Monroe Junior Varsity ended their season with a 6-10 conference record, with double wins over Stoughton and Sauk Prairie. Monroe Frosh ended their season with a 6-2 record with a double win over Middleton. Nice job to all of you. Vasity Softball: Front: Kim Bacher. Denis Dillon. Mary Jo Hamilton.

And what better way to remember high school than by being involved in extra-curricular activities? The organizations offered at Monroe covered many different interests. Language clubs were popular with students curious about foreign culture and lifestyles beyond the classroom. Extra bands and choral groups gave musicians added experience.' Other clubs ranged from community services of Key Club to behind the scenes action of Theatre Crew. Students who became a part of the organizations found new friends and new interests. Hopefully, these experiences will be remembered throughout life. Senior Liaison Board members Melissa Holmstrom and Dianna Lauper chat a little to prepare for the meeting.

Lori was the assistant editor last year. After choosing a picture to finish his layout, Dan Lanz looks for a cropper. The staff was involved in designing and creating the layouts for the resulting yearbook pages. After completing all necessary work for the deadline, Heidi Indergand gathers all her materials to clean up. Staff members found much more goes into designing and completing yearbook pages. M-BOOK MANIA How many students at MHS actually know what goes on in the back of Mr. Brockman s room , every seventh hour? And, how many even know how the yearbook is created every year? Well, this year a staff of about ten students spent many hours in that little room learning every detail of layouts, stories, and captions in order to put together the 1988 M-Book. The complexity of the orange grid sheets made designing layouts an interesting task. The concepts of eyelines and trapped white space caused many destructions to ingenious, new layouts. The search for the perfect story led to questionnaires and interviews revealing the scoop. Many discussions were had between staff members, sharing and improving each others ideas. Pictures to finish the layout were always in demand. While the fearless photograghers worked diligently at capturing the center of school action , many hours were spent locked in the darkroom developing and printing film. They soon became aware of the difficulties in doing two things at once. As the staff continued working towards the finished pages, days passed. And kept passing, until the word DEADLINE” became a reality. Suddenly, the discussions were not quite as necessary. The photographer now had to accomplish ten things at once. With a sprint to the end, deadlines were met with only a little pain to all. Even through all the anxieties,we made it through the year. Many thanks should go out to all those staff members who brought the book all together. A hearty thank-you also goes out to all the high school students and teachers who contributed and cooperated with the M-Book staff of 1988.

Many students dream of one day becoming their own boss. The skill of being that leader is one that must be learned. Students at MHS have begun to develop their leadership abilities by becoming involved in Liaison Board. Liaison Board members were interested in what was happening around them as students and wanted to help other students get the best out of life during high school. In order to strengthen their leadership skills. Liaison Board members attended a leadership conference in Middleton last fall. Representatives from other clubs at MHS also went. The future leaders listened to Mark Scharenbrock. His speech gave them enthusiasm for getting others pepped up for any activity. How can one be leader with no interested followers? The lessons learned at the conference were brought back by club members and used during the year, making events more successful than ever. Enthused about school and what it had to offer, Liaison Board members met two Mondays of each month discussing any problems that may have been present between students and teachers. Liaison Board was also responsible for getting Homecoming on it's feet this year and holding a spring talent show known as the ReVue. The money earned through the show and pop machine sales went towards scholarships. These scholarships supported those students who look forward to a future of leadership. Senior Maureen Deignan preside over another Monday meeting. Liaison Board met every other Monday to confront any possible problems. Hashing over the topics on the agenda for the meeting, Joe Deignan, Chris Larson, and Mrac Studer take the time to talk. Liaison Board consisted of representatives from each class.

Week-end Highlights Year The American Field Service (AFS) brought Denmark, Australia, and MHS together. Monroe hosted two AFS students in the 1987-88 school year. Jesper Hjorth from Denmark and Mandi Janetzki from Australia attended MHS for a whole year. Along with bringing students into MHS, Andy Turner went to Bolivia to attend school and learn about their culture. AFS funds were raised throught annual pizza sales. This year they also sold peanuts in collector tins. Key club and the foreign language clubs offered a hand in sales and deliveries. AFS week-end was one of the highlights of the year. Students from all over the world, staying in Wisconsin, came to meet students from MHS. Another fun project was a sleigh ride at the Cheeseboro farm. Throughout the year, students gave presentations on their home countries, or on countries they have visited. Andy Goebel gave presentations on France, w'hile Jesper and Mandi gave presentations on thier home countries. All in all, AFS had a fun-filled year. 38 AFS Service is The Key Key clubbers had plenty of projects to keep them busy during the 1987-88 school year. The Apostolate to the Handicapped, grocery van deliveries to shut-ins, and the Bloodmobile were service projects that Key clubbers helped with regularly. Camp Wawbeek in Wisconsin Dells, a camp for the handicapped, was cleaned up and prepared for painting and yearly closing for the winter. Scorers for freshmen basketball games, concession stands, and the Homecoming dance were all a part of the project lists last year. Concession stands were one source of funds, but the privelege auction returned this year to offer more. Teachers and various community members donated a privelege that was auctioned off to both students and teachers. To top off the action and service-filled year, several members were able to attend the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan Key Club convention in Fontana, on Lake Geneva. At this convention, members attended general sessions, forums, and the talent night. Best of all, they attended caucuses to elect the 1988-89 Key club Board, beginning the new Key club year.

Living in Libraries A certain group of MHS students were found always in the libarary with their heads buried in books. These students were members of the Model United Nations. The purpose of Model UN was that a group of students chose a small controversial country and researched the country until they knew everything there was to know about it. What was the pay-off for students living in the library and doing all the research? Once they were experts on their countries, the students attended a Model UN convention in Milwaukee. The students chose a problem and discussed whose idea would have been the best solution. Anyone could have joined Model UN, but the students must have been confident and good speakers. They must also have been interested in discovering other countries and learning about the problems and possible solutions. Model UN members: Front: Dave Lancaster.

Not only were they greeted warmly by their partners, but they were also greeted by a foot and a half of snow! A welcoming banquet began the week's activities. Swiss yodelers entertained theguests. A progressive dinner, tours of Swiss Colony, Advance Transformer cheese factories, a farm, and Cave of the Mounds kept the students active throughout the week. The students also toured the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Capitol building. Ending their week, they attended the girls' basketball game and a dance. Twenty-six Monroe students anxiously waited for April to arrive. They arrived in Greensboro excited to see their partners. Monroe students attended classes with their partners and discovered the differences in the schools. Tours of R. J. Reynold's Tobacco Company, Cone Mills, Procter and Gamble, and the Halteras Yacht manufacturer occupied the students' week. The USS North Carolina Battleship and the University of NC-Wilmington were also toured. The Monroe students took a side trip to Florida. Kennedy Space Center, Epcot Center, Disney World, and Sea World were the sites they visited. To sponsor their trip, the students sold calendars, apples and held a lasagna supper.

Senior rappers Craig Conti, (Ice), and Matt Jelinek, (Gil), and junior Tim Hartwig, (Thrash), all members of DJ club, entertain audiences at the '88 ReVue Productivity was Jammin' D.J. club was a productive, musical club consisting of fifteen disc-jockies, a number that exceeded last year's count. Lead by the club president, John Raettig, and supervised by Mr. Pawlowski, the talented jockies not only entertained the Monroe High School but also went to the Junior High to spin a few records. D.J. club performed many dances. F.B.L.A.and Science club hired D.J. club for dances that would raise funds for the clubs. The music played was selected by the jockies themselves and they also made their own tapes. The students responded well to the variety of music played. The club taught the members many things including public appearance and performance in front of a group of people, mixing and selecting their own songs, arranging thier own music, and editing their own tapes. Not only is D.J. club a social event but also a learing experience. D.J. club has had a very productive year. 42 D.J. Club New Beginning — Die Kasemacher With the new German teacher, Frau Fowdy, Die Kasermacher has started off to a new biginning, with new ideas and a prospering attitude. This year German club tried one of their new ideas and sold carnations for Valentine's Day. Sales went on during the first part of the week of February 8 — February 10. Carnation orders were taken before school in the M-room and in front of the office; during lunch in the M-room; and seventh hour and afterschool in the M-room. The sales were excellent! The carnations were delivered 5th hour on Friday, February 12. Die Kasermacher as well as the rest of the German classes got together with the other language classes for a Fasching Party. Fasching is similar to a Mardi Gras. It is the celebration of Lent for washing the evil spirits out before Ash Wednesday. Inge Brockman — a native of Gemany — came in to speak to the German classes about the celebration. German classes also used their class time to prepare Knielblatchen — a light pastry with powdered sugar. The classes also made traditional Fasching masks to be worn during the party. The party was held in the IMC afterschool. At the party the different classes brought different traditional foods. The German class — Knieblatchen; French class — Crepes: and Spanish class — Nachos. To wash it all down, punch was provided. Students also participated in a mask contest. First place went to Heidi Brockman. She won a stuffed cowboy dog. Second place was a tie between Paula Hunt and Erika Bathke. They both won a poster. Thirs place went to Ray Anglin. For a German club fundraiser, classes sold candy and frames. The sales went well. The money raised went to a German dinner and a club trip. The new officers were chosen at Valerie Goepfert's house at the beginningof the year. Valerie Goepfert was chosen for president; Mark Schluesche — vice-president; Daphne Krahenbuhl — secretary; and Tracy Oles — treasurer. German club has come a long way from what it used to be. It is a fun experience as well as a cultural experience. Die Kasemacher: Front: Dan Lanz, Daphne Krahenbuhl, Tracy Oles, Mark Schluesche, Kris Koning, Marc Studer.

German Club 43 Mardi Gras at MHS If you happened to see an over-abundance of students in the library after school on one Thursday afternoon, you don't need to have your eyes checked. There was no paper due that you forgot about, just a party that you missed out on! A week after the actual Mardi Gras festival, foreign languages got togethr for a celebration of their own. All foreign language students apent thei class hour constructing masks to wear to the party. Then, after school, they reported to the library with the masks. Hot nachos,crepes, and other food awaited them and then it was time to judge the masks. Teachers served as judges on the originality of the masks made and prizes were awarded. Mr. Larson went around snapping pictures while everyone talked and had a good time. Soon, it was time to go, and students left their masks to be hung in their classrooms. Everyone was happy because their was no school the next day and what a perfect way to start a vacation! Thanks, teachers, for your efforts! Melissa Peters and Chris Babler help each other construct masks during French class. The masks were used later in the day at the Mardi Gras festival for foreign languages.

Cantare, Cantaras In the spring of 1985, fifty well-known singers and actors from Latin America and Spain met at a recording studio in Hollywood, California and recorded the song, Cantare, Cantaras. The song served the same purpose as We Are The World and Do They Know Its Christmas? , done in the United States and Great Britain. The money earned was donated to UNICEF to feed starving children in Latin America and Africa. Each year, thanks to materials from Jan Verhaalen of Blackhawk High School, MHS Spanish students learn the words to this song and the names of the artists who are singing them, said Mrs. Hendrickson, Spanish teacher. This year, with student teacher Mrs. Davis directing, the members of Spanish students performed a lip-sync version of the song for the 1988 ReVue. By now, Cantare, Cantaras should be a familiar tune to not only Spanish students, but everyone at MHS. The sounds of the world relief song wafted out of th classroom almost every day as Mrs. Hendrickson taught students a lit-tles about Spanish. Joe Jelinek and Tina Harvey participate in the 'Cantare, Cantaras” performance for the ReVue. Each year, the Spanish students learn the lyrics to this song and the names of the artists who are singing them.

Amateurs, Amateurs Amateurs, Amateurs? you may think. You might say, “There is no such thing. But after going through an extremely complicated process, it was discovered that this is exactly what the person who joins intramurals is. The intramuralists are amateurs in that they do not compete in professional sports, and also because they do not compete in high school sports. Therefore, they are amateur amateurs. These athletes had a choice of three most popular and enjoyable sports in the world. They were volleyball, basketball, and badminton. Volleyball and basketball participants created their own teams, while badminton players competed in singles, male and female doubles,and mixed doubles. It was found from experience that the competitors showing the most spirit and fun-lovingness did the best. Exactly what intramurals stand for. It's Ramsey vs Ramsey, the intramural showdown of the year. That's Bill Ramsey going for the shot and his brother Bob playing weak defense. 46 Intramurals MHS' Good Little Elves Pep club Front: Cassandra Lees, Mary Lyn Meier, Stephanie Hessel.

The notes you were too embarrassed to leave on your locker and if you didn't rip it off, someone else would? Well, if one of those notes ever boosted your ego or just gave you a good feeling, then you can thank the good little elves in Pep club. Yes, Pep club. And they do a good job, too. Pep club has many other activities in which they partake in. One of the big events is Turnabout. To accomplish this, they raised funds, set a date, found six chaperons, and chose a theme song. Last year's title is irrelevant since it will probably be forgotten by the time you read this, anyway. Pep club also was responsible for set-up and clean up of the dance. Pep Club 47 Bands work Overtime So, what was the story with the MHS marching band last year? Did members claim to be overworked anb underpaid? Were they sick and tired of having to play for post-season games on freezing cold winter nights? Did they hate having to wake up for practice every morning at 7:00 A.M.? The answer to all these questions is no. Most members seemed to enjoy all this torture. There was some complaining about the uniforms, but excellent playing picked up any slack in that category. The marching band did a great job in the football playoffs, following the team wherever it went. Pep band also did a great job last year. They played for both Varsity basketball teams and at wrestling matches. Pep band also played for some post season games at the Field House. They played fo all three of the Girl's Basketball team's final round in the state tournament. Randy Schneeberger directed both marching band and pep band. Tom Schilt also directed the pep band. Both groups put in a lot of time. They deserve our deepest appreciation. Marching hand: Front: Traci Moser, Mary Coltz. Colette McKillip, Julie Digman. Kns Rutledge. Brcnd. Leistikow. Kristy Young.

Ensembles offer Variety What are small ensembles? Ensembles that are small. NO. They are extra-curricular groups of similar instruments, such as a brass quintet. They hold a concert at MHS in March. The groups come from all bands, although everyone in Wind Ensemble participates. Back when there was no such thing as a home entertainment system, people had no music for their parties. Their homes were too small for orchestras, so they hired small groups with several different instruments to play. Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Workshop gave band students a totally different style of music to play. Jazz Workshop was a training group for Jazz Ensemble. The members learned how to play the different styles of jazz music, such as swing, deep south, black, and rhythm and blues. Jazz Ensemble was the more advanced group. It was made up of mostly Wind Ensemble members. The Jazz groups both made use of some less commonly used instruments, such as the electric piano and bass guitar. The ensembles gave students musical experience aside form the normals band setting. They also had a chance to learn new music and new ways to play it.

Swing Choir first performance was on March 25th in a variety show with the Monroe City Band. They worked on and performed Beatles in Revue. Their second performance was the '88 ReVue. They also performed for different community organizations this year. The Swing Choir worked hard on their opening number, according to Dianna Lauper and Paula Hunt, this year's choreographers. The number featured a variety of jazz steps. They were relatively simple and the members enjoyed getting the feel of the beat. A few more individuals had solos because the group was so small. Accompanying the Swing Choir on a new electric piano was Cathy Brand. 50 Swing Choir Paula Hunt applies base to Jennifer Vita. Theatre Crew plays an important part in school stage productions.

Many questions like these were answered at a Halloween make-up workshop for children put on by the MHS Theatre Crew. Members of Theatre Crew also attended workshops to perfect their makeup techniques. Theatre Crew's specialty was the make-up at MHS and Junior High performances. Without the crew, performers would have looked washed out. Theatre Crew also painted the clowns' faces for the Homecoming parade. For fundraising. Theatre Crew sold caramel apples again this year. The crew also took their annual trip to Chicago. They attended a dinner theatre and watched a major production. Theatre Crew 51 Monroe Hosts Forensics Badger Conference Tournament The MHS halls were a massive state of confusion the night of the Forensic Badger Conference Tournament. Monroe hosted this event in several classrooms whil a spirited pep band played for our basketball team downstairs in the gym. MHS was literally humming with activity, but in spite of this, students from all over the conference were milling in the halls, either waiting to speak or nervously awaiting the results. For many, it was their first year in Forensics, but the old pros showed them around and filled them in on the details. Mr. Trampe, Forensics advisor, put forth much effort to make the tournament a success. He commented, It is an honor to have the Badger Conference here. The Forensics team made us very proud when they captured four of the six public speaking categories. First place finishes went to: Carylee Govier- Oratory; Sarah Munro-Demonstration; Amy Hudson-Four-minute speaking; and Chris Gavigan — Public Address. Third place winners were: Sara Krueger — Oratory, and Ryan Stauffacher — Extemporaneous Speaking. All the hours of practice, nail-biting, and hard work pulled off for the Forensics team this year. And what a better way to sweep the stage than with a victory at MHS. Congratulations Monroe!

When asked why she enjoyed F.B.L.A., President Anita Heebst commented, I was interested in the business field and I thought that it would benefit me. F.B.L.A. gives a better understanding of business with inter-relations between school and business. While hoding events such as visits to the Manor, computer awareness, and the Halloween dance, F.B.L.A. provided a learning experience for anyone who joined this year. So, who says you can't mix business with pleasure? F.B.L.A. helped students have a better outlook on their future and have fun learning about the business field, too.

They also planned a trip to Milwaukee to see the Museum of Science and Natural history. The club planned a canoe outing. Science club members were involved in the science fair that was held in April. They served food, set up and cleaned up. The club liked to hold its business meetings on Wednesday mornings. 54 Science Club HEROs for Life What is a HERO to most ? Some say a brave person. At MHS, a HERO is a member enrolled in the class and youth organization. HERO means Home Economics Related Occupations. During the year, students volunteered at local businesses to gain experience in several career areas. Members explored jobs in fashion , clothing, family and community services, foods, nutrition, child care, housing and interiors. All HERO students experienced job interviews and resume writing. Chapter president Tami Esber felt, I hope when people of Monroe think of HERO, they think of skills for life — learning about families and jobs in a changing society ' Two HERO members dressed up as clowns to help teach children to Just Say No. 1987-88 HERO officers: Secretary Tina Gille, treasurer Amy Hare, Vice-president Tami Tschudy, and President Tami Esber.

HERO 55 FHA Receives High Honors Boasting over 40 members, the Monroe chapter of Future Homemakers of America has continued this year to move forward in leadership development, education, and service. An extension of the home economics curriculum, FHA focuses on the family level of home economics, as compared to HERO which focuses primarily on careers. As a vocational student organization, FHA members learn skills essential to the functioning of the family and typical modem problems, including drug abuse and latch key children, for example. This information prepares members for real world experiences and problems. FHA members are encouraged to compete in competitions exhibiting various skills. Five members advanced to compete for national honors in Washington, D.C., including Rita Handel, Eirene Trumpy, Cindy Grossen, Robin Koning, and Brenda Naef. In addition, the Monroe FHA Chapter received recognition for being the 1 chapter in Wisconsin, having earned the most points. An FHA activity, cosponsored by the Monroe Optimists, is the Just Say No Club. For fifth and sixth graders only, the club meets monthly to warn of the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse. Nearly every meeting ends with fun activities led by the FHA leaders. The Optimists and FHA members hope that working together will help young people to say no to drugs and alcohol. An enthusiastic FHA member, Brenda Cleaveland, gives name tags to new Just-Say-No members. FHA mejnbers Jolene Knoll, Robin Koning, Ellen Sathoff, Kris Koning, and Tammy Goepfert prepare for a Just Say No meeting.

Mtm UC IdllrUlLuiilrU Having learned that this subject can be fun, Tami Esber shares her enthusiasm with her classmates. People have always went to school in the quest of learning, those who attend Monroe High School are no different. The teens at Monroe High are avid pupils who strive for knowledge. Their thirst for knowledge does not stop at just the most basic of ideas. Courses for learning offered at Monroe High extend over many levels to challenge any students' abilities and cover such a variety of topics that no student will be without a class of interest. When a student is interested, he can easily excel. With a good teacher, the student goes far with the knowledge gained. Taking what Monroe High taught them, MHS graduates often seem to leave their marks of excellence throughout their lives, on whatever task they encounter. Anxiously preparing to begin his work, Chris O'Berem delves right into the paperwork.

UlrCiliLLtLlrt NOT JUST ANOTHER WORD IN THE DICTIONARY Norman: What class do you have next, Norton? Norton: I hafta go to English next. 1 sure ain't into English. What's the use for English in anyone's education?” Norman: First of all, ain't isn't a word. Second of all, English can help you learn and understand our language better. English teaches you the basic reading and writing skills, how to spell words, and what words are correct to say and what aren't; like ain't. However, English takes you further than the basics. English can help you better develop the skills it takes to master an essay or even a research paper. All these skill will help you to be better prepared in your college courses and onto your professional career. So, if you look at all the advantages that English can bring you, maybe you won't be so hasty to say you don't dig English. Norton: Gosh, 1 guess I didn't realize that English can be very helpful in your future career. 1 suppose I could try a little harder. Norman: OK! Hey save me a seat! Not all students, like Norton, have begun to realize how important it is to know, understand, and use their English education. Of course, everyone is going to use it since English is spoken every day. It is a part of our everyday lives, so why not speak it and write it correctly. It's your choice. Either you ain't into English of you are. The English Department: Standing:Mr. Bruess, Mr. Brockman, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Trampe SittingMrs Schilt, Mrs. Spoerry, Ms. Dexheimer, and Mis Carter.

Even though most of the Radio and Television class graduated last year, the new rookies have filled their spots respectively. The members, again, witnessed the victories of the Monroe Football games and the tough battles of the volleyball matches through the eyepiece of a television monitor. The memories of a quite successful all-around sports year will be remembered, watched, and re-lived on the ever popular video tape. This year a new idea was experimented; the video M-Book. The video M-Book is made up from segments of highlights throughout the school year. Every possible topic will be covered so no one will have to worry about whether or not he she will be in the M-Book. Although one cannot put autographs on a video tape, it is, however, very memorable that will last a lifetime. Radio and Television made their mark this year and their commendable efforts should be praised. Memories are remembered forever and without the help of Radio and Television these memories would be faded dust particles in the wind. During a recording in Radio Television, Bryan Stocker checks over the hi-fi sound system and video equipment. Bryan also helped video tape the Cheesemaker football games at the sidelines. Juniors, Tim Hartwig and Carolyn Scott. Were caught in the act of peaceful horsing around in R T. Both Tim and Carolyn commented for the football games. Radio and Television advisors. Mr. Pawlowski and Mrs. Carter take a break from behind the cameras and pose for a quick shot. Radio T.V. 63 Summer School Over the summer,Mr. Bower attended a seminar at Cedai Falls. The class that he attended was called PRISMS. PRISMS stands for Physics Resources and Instructional Strategies for Motivation Students. This class was an in depth lab and demonstration physics program. Mr. Bower felt that the class was very rewarding and motivational. He thought that the labs were beneficial in teaching his students this year. The students were involved in a variety of different and unusual experiments that included dropping eggs and breaking bridges These were just some of the experiments that proved to get the students more involved in the class. For the students who were more motivated by living things there was a new Biology class added this year. The Biology 3 students learned about human physiology, genetics, and the environment. Biology 3 was said to be a worthwhile and in teresting class. Science Department: Mr. Beeth, Mr. Buvid, Mr. Bauer, Mr. Bieneman, Mr Stroessner, Mr. Pisula. Hoping to bet a better perspective.

This is apparent after students were once again denied Trigonometry and Probability and Statistics. These two classes specialize in one area, unlike other math classes that cover a variety of areas. A class that was new this year covers a variety of ideas. This new course was Applied Mathematics. It was for Juniors and Seniors who have acquired math credits in Algebra 9 and General Math 2 or have and instructors approval. Applied Math reviewed the fundamentals of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Also emphasized were ratios, percents, and algebra in order to solve everyday problems such as banking, credit,taxes, and of course, what is most important to every high school student, transportation and insurance. Math can be breeze, according to Tony Fuchs. A wide variety of math courses were offered to MHS students. Math 65 DEUTSCHER WELCOMED The newest addition to the foreign language department was a German teacher, Karen Fowdy. A native of Colorado, Mrs. Fowdy studied German at the University of Colorado in Denver, studied in Vienna, and attended graduate school at the University of Berlin for two years. Her German career ended for a time after the birth of her first child. Even with four children to keep her occupied, she accepted the Monroe German position, and taught in a high school setting for the first time. Oral proficiency was the major focus in German classes. A great amount of stress was put on speaking the language well, not just translating on paper. Mrs. Fowdy worked hard to keep the German program alive in Monroe. Beginning with the 1987-88 school year, first year German was no longer offered, signaling an end to the program. Yet hopes were high that a pilot program at the Jr. High would interest many new students for coming years. The Spanish department, headed by Mrs. Hendrickson, has worked to promote her foreign language through different methods of teaching and various special activities. Spanish classes attended Ballet Folkorica early in the year, and looked forward to teaching grade school classes and putting on a program at the Jr. High. This years' French class, taught by Mr. Larson, is now larger than ever. With the new two-year college foreign language requirement and temporary loss of a German program, a greater number of students chose French. Mr. Larson, along with Mrs. Fowdy and Mrs. Hendrickson, has worked harder on public relations, trying to create a higher profile for the department. Bob Ramsey and Cassie Van Horn listen intently, Chris Deininger concentrates on his Spanish while Craig Conti prepares for his next class. homework. Chris was enrolled in Spanish 4. Foreign Language department: Mrs. Fowdy, Mr. Larson, Mrs. Hendrickson. 66 Foreign Language Driver's Ed Gets New Facilities Many changes awaited the 1987-88 school year's driver's educations classes. A mobile unit previously located at South School was moved to the high school in place of the old simulator. It includes a classroom in addition to new driving simulation equipment. A change from previous years was that the driver's education students stay in the same classroom every day instead of alternating between the classroom and the study hall. Class was held on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, while Mondays and Wednesdays were used for simulation or study hall. The new simulator equipment is not only more enjoyable for the students, but also helps them concentrate better, according to Mr. Larson. After this phase of the program is completed, the student is promoted to behind-the-wheel training, and he eventually receives the much desired driver's license. Mr. Larson attempted to correlate SADD into his alcohol unit more than in previous years. SADD is a club to make people aware of the effects of intoxicated drivers. Including information about the club in his discussions helped to promote it greatly. Physical fitness was the goal of 1987-88's physical education classes. Physical health is essential to mental health, so students have been encouraged to participate in physical activities to stay in shape. Of course, many different kinds of activities were offered in the hope that students may continue them later in life. Physical Education department: Mr. Martin, Ms McCabe, Mr. Morgan.

Western Heritage covers the history of the ancient world. wm i v Richie Daniels gives a talk to his social stidies class. Students may often give reports on historical topics in thier social studies class. Social Studies Game of Learning The American Heritage classes are the basis for the social studies department. American Heritage I focuses on the development of colonial America. American Heritage II looks at the lifestyle of Americans. American Heritage III deals with the political policies of America. American Heritage IV talks about our system of government. In the American Heritage III class , the students participated in a simulation called Conflict and Compromise. This simulation looked at the political reasons for the causes of the Civil War. The students are divided into the sectional and occupational groups based on those during the 1850's. The students assumed the attitudes and political interests of their role. The sudents kept journals to which they responded to the events of the 1850's. The concluding activity was the Election of 1860 where students played the actual candidates and members of the campaigning team. The election was spread over two days. The first day for speeches and the second for rebuttals and a press conference. When asked why he used the simulation Mr. Simonis said the students took a more active role. They became a part of the events not just spectators. The experience of the attitudes also helped the student understand them better. The clearly defined roles and conflicts during that period were very easy to recreate in the classroom. According to Mr. Simonis, the students seemed to enjoy the variety and challenge of the simulation. Being able to participate made the unit more enjoyable. The level of understanding was much higher than when lectures and homework were used to teach the class. Social Studies department: Front. Mr. Guth, Miss Alt, Mr. Stauffacher.

If your future plans included something with business, chances are you took some kind of course at MHS that prepared you for that future. Many courses offered went over the basics. Fundamentals of Business taught the basic workings of a business. Keyboarding Typing showed the student how to type, set up business letters, etc. Some students also took these classes just because they were interested in them. students who were really interested in business took the more advance classes. For example, many students took accounting. They took it to better understand the financial working of a business. The students was probably interested in going into the accounting field, also. Students also participated in the Co-op program. That gave them experience working in the business field. Taking business courses may have helped the student decide whether or not the business field was for him. John Raettig works on his business assignment in the computer room Computers are becoming an important part of the business curriculum. Business Department:Miss McLeish.

There were three teachers in the MHS Home Ec department. They were Miss DeMik, Mrs. Hart, and Mrs. Kranig. There were many classes to take in Home Economics. There was foods, sewing, family living, and the new class, HERO. The class foods teaches you how to prepare many different types of meals. Some were easy to make, and some were not so easy to make. Students learned to make pizza, lasagna, and many other treats. After their project was cooked, students ate what was made. Sewing was another class that could be taken. Students were taught how to make stuffed animals, clothing, wall hangings, and pillows. The sewing classes did their projects within each quarter. HERO stands for Home Economics Related Occupations. The class HERO was basically foods and sewing combined. It also taught other aspects, such as children and family, and community services. Toni Voegeli and Stephanie Phillips, both freshman, finish their pizza and wa9h their plates before the bell. The students get to sample any food that they make.

Art Department. Mr. Pawlowski, Mrs. Ferguson. Dave Lancaster, a sophomore, paints a picture in his art class. In this class, students chose their own subjects. But in beginning classes, students drew visible objects around them. Chad Zimmerman, a freshman, concentrates intently on his artwork. Art is more than just drawing; it is shaping, designing, and molding. Why Not Opt for Art? The art program in the Monroe High School was a good program to get into. There were two teachers, by the name of Mr. Pawlowski and Mrs. Ferguson, and many courses to choose from. The art program at MHS included classes like Visual Studies in Two-Dimensional Design, Visual Studies in Three-Dimensional Design, Jewelry art, metals and crafts. In Two-Dimensional design, students learned basic drawing, advanced drawing, and watercolor painting. Students in this class created many pictures of their choice. In Three-Dimensional design, subjects taught were ceramics and other crafts. The crafts course went into more detailed refineries for the interested art students. Jewelry art and metals, students had the chance to design actual objects. They created latch hooks, earrings, stained glass projects and bracelets. The variety of courses in the art department gave every interested student an opportunity to explore the world of arts and crafts. Art 71 Why Join CHORUS? O.K., time for scheduling. Getting easy classes, classes with friends, classes that you want, teachers that you want, and the hour that you want are the main goals. No problem, right? In the midst of the mass of confusion and decisions, someone, out of the blue, mentions 'Hey, are you going to take chorus? WHAT?, you ask. You have wound up with either gym first hour, three History classes in a row, and a math class in which you are surrounded by people on another plane of intelligence. Who has time to think about singing? Actual medical studies have not yet been done, but it is common knowledge that one relaxing hour of the day can do wonders for a teenager's sanity. The academic pressure in your school life can turn you into a social zit if you don't take the necessary precautions. Chorus may be just what the doctor ordered. When asked why they enjoyed Chorus, these students replied: Scott Miller I like singing. It's a relaxing hour. Cassandra Lees I enjoy singing. Singing 'Gloria' was a challenge for me this year. Claudine Walden I want to be in Swing Choir and this is good for me. No, Chorus didn't hurt, and there were no side effects,(except maybe having a little fun one hour a day). All in all, Monroe High School's chorus groups enjoy themselves, get credits, and actually (Oh, no!) leam something at the same time! So when you're scheduling for your classes, see if chorus will fir in-itTl be worth it.

Wingra Comes To MHS This year the Monroe High School Band was privileged to welcome the Wingra Woodwind Quintet to our high school. The Quintet is from Madison and all of the five members are professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The band students listened to the Quintet during their sixth hour class. The instruments played were: the French horn, bassoon, clarinet, oboe, and the flute. After sixth hour, the students who also played these instruments were given the opportunity to stay after and get tips on improving their playing ability. Pam Lane, clarinet player, commented on the Quintet. It was interesting to listen to people with such talent. They helped me a lot. The Quintet also performed that evening for the public. The Monroe High School was lucky to have such a talented group come to perform , helping our band sound even more professional than they already did. Tisha Brown plays her clarinet during study hall.

The name was changed due to the use of more computers. The same classes were still offered. These included Photo and Offset Printing, Metals 1 and 2, Welding, Small Engines, Woods 3, and Electronics 2, 3, and 4. The teachers for this department were Mr. Bartholf, Mr. Cairy, Mr. Klip-pel, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Tupper. In Ag classes, students studied soils, crop production, farm and tractor safety, farm records, and dairy and livestock production. The Ag classes offered were taught be Mr. Emmons.

But was one of those ideas a house? Well, in the case of this special group of seventeen high school students, a house is what happened. From 12:30 to 3:17, everyday, the class met under the supervision of Mr. Don Tupper to build a house. The class was officially named Construction Trades Capstone , but more commonly known as just Capstone. The house built this year was the thirteenth of its kind. There was a new twist to the class this year, though. Three girls joined the crew. It did not affect the work being done at all — just the attitude of those working. There are many steps involved in building a house and the students were allowed to help wiht all aspects, from the pourring of the concrete to the painting of the walls. Capstone was a very exciting class as well as a learning experience. Students not only learned about the facets of construction — they learned about themselves. Capstone V.I.C.A. 75 Secretaries and Guidance Counselors: They make life easier The secretaries and guidance counselors do a lot to make life easier for you. That is the point to be stressed. If a student hasn't had any help or guidance from either of the two, then they wouldn't go to this school, period. The secretaries kept themselves quite busy running errands for teachers, printing worksheets, writing and reading announcements, and , of course, answering the telephone. They can also be thanked to calling you to the office for messages, whether good or bad. The guidance counselors helped students in many ways. Mrs. Plourde was the Freshman-Sophomore advisor. A big part of what she did was help freshmen find out just what the heck they were doing in this building. She alos changed schedules and helped students solve everyday, high school problems. Mr. Duit, the Junior-Senior counselor, was kept quite busy helping students decide on a college. He helped students figure out what they needed as far as credits, classes, and money. Both counselors ran the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT). The secretaries and guidance counselors were organizers of the school and the students. Both played a big part in keeping this scholl moving in the right direction.

The Imc helped students use the card catalog, vertical file, the microfiche machines, and many other useful tools. The school constructed a new library all during last school year. The new library is located on the south side of the science rooms. The IMC also added a new system for checking in and out books. Using the computer, it tells the name of the book, the day it was checked out, and who checked it out. If a person has an overdue book, the computer calculates the fine. The library aids can also make fine lists, and reserve books for students. 78 IMC Administration Teaching Our Students Skills for School The TMR EMR program is here to help the students. Teachers work with the students in order to demonstrate better study skills for English, math science,, and other classes they may have problems with. The construction of the new library will allow for more space for this program. These rooms were relocated in the area of the previous IMC. Hopefully, this will give the department a chance to expand and better equip the students with skills for life.

Matt Inman, announced Kim Riese as the 1987 Homecoming Queen. Lisa Stoneback and Michelle Phillips were the other candidates. After the queen was presented the freshman and sophomores participated in a new event. Football Follies. This was three different relays and points were given to the teams in deciding the winner. The powder puff game between the juniors and seniors followed the relays. Friday, students showed up wearing varying amounts of red and white. Some just wore a red sweat shirt, while others had their faces painted with school colors. The day ended with the Homecoming parade. The marching band played through the halls to dismiss the classes. Most of the students ana community watched the parade and felt their spirits rising for the game. The game against Monona Grove began at 7:30 p.m. A tremendous crowd came to cheer the Cheesemakers to victory. The result was a 7-0 Monroe victo™. The half-time show solved the working strike of the Seven Dwarfs. The annual Homecoming dance sponsored by the Key Club ended the weeks activities. The dance was well attended by students as a final good-bye to Homecoming. Patty Pisula, Chris O'Berem, and Carrie Hemming march through the halls to dismiss the classes before the parade. Marching in the halls has become a Homecoming tradition. Heidi Minder paints Cindy Grossen's face for the parade.

The production took place in the Monroe Jr. High auditorium on October 30 and 31, and on November 6 and 7. The curtain opened to the front of the Wilson Hotel, with Charlie Davenport (Alan Rupnow) introducing the one and only Colonel Buffalo Bill (Joe Jelinek). Charlie challenged anyone to a shooting match against Frank Butler (Sean Thomas). Only one person, Annie Oakley (Cathy Brand), accepted the challenge. The match lasted about twenty minutes, with no misses. But, then Frank missed and Annie won! Charlie wanted this talented girl to join the Wild West Show, but the pig-headed Frank did not want her as his partner. As the Buffalo Bill Show heads for new audiences in Minneapolis, they become concerned about Pawnee Bill's competition from St. Paul. To get the extra edge, Annie's special trick was added. This was going to be Annie's chance to show off to Frank and make him love her. Instead he just got angry, or maybe jealous, and quit the show. Chief Sitting Bull (Matt Simonette) saw Annie and loved her performance. He later held a ceremony that made Annie an Indian, too. Act 11 found the Buffalo Bill show on a cattle boat near New York. Annie has not seen nor spoken to Frank for a long time, and is beginning to miss him. The show has been invited to a party, along with the Pawnee Bill show. Even though they don't have much money, they accept the invitation in hopes that it will bring them lots of publicity. At the ball, Buffalo Bill, Charlie, Dolly (Paula Hunt), and Pawnee Bill (Willie Pickett) got together and discussed combining the shows, since neither were making much money alone. While this was happening, Frank and Annie finally got to talk to each other. Unfortunately, this ended in another fight and shooting match. This time Annie lost. But, she didn't mind. She had won Frank's heart! Mrs. Wilson, (Sarah Friedrichs), gets the full story from Annie herself. Mrs. Wilson lets Charlie Davenport (Al Rupnow) know what she thinks of the show people and Indians staying in her Hotel. 1987 Cast and crew: Front: Adam Conti, Andy Goebel, Jenny Kindschi, Joe Deignan, Paula Hunt, Sean Thomas, Cathy Brand, Tara Thomas, Tanya Tup-per.

Musical 85 Grand Fenwick Roars in Monroe Imagine a tiny European nation having more power than the United States. This unlikely scenario becomes reality in the 1988 Monroe High School Theater production “The Mouse That Roared. An interesting combination of humor and world politics made this play an exciting success. The story begins in the tiny country of Grand Fenwick, which is having economic problems because a California vintner is producing a cheap imitation of their chief export, wine. To solve this problem, the country decided to wage war on the United States, because history has shown that any country that loses a war to the U.S. has had its economy rebuilt. Grand Fenwick then sent an expeditionary force to New York, armed with the traditional longbow. When the forces landed, they managed to capture Professor Kokintz who has designed the ultimate weapon, the Q-Bomb. They took he, the weapon (which has the power to vaporize the Earth), and military prisoners back to Grand Fenwick. As a result. Grand Fenwick won the “war, but then the Queen become concerned that the country would have to pay to rebuild the U.S. Instead, the U.S. was willing to pay just about anything for the return of the Q-bomb. Terrified that this little country had, in effect, become the most powerful nation in the world, the President sent his Secretary of State with $1 million in pocket money for the return of the bomb. Tully Bascom (the leader of the expeditionary forces) would like to keep the bomb as a peace weapon, however. He threatens to strike it with his mace if anyone declares war. In the end. Professor Kokintz realized his creation was a stronger weapon than he had ever imagined. Not only does it have awesome destructive power, but it also has the power to promote peace. Candice Dexheimer, the plays' director, chose the play for its potential for involvement from the student body, but primarily for its plot.

Revue 89 A Little Bit Of Heaven The Monroe High School gymnasium was transformed into heaven on earth the night of April 30, 1988, when the Junior class presented Monroe's prom. The theme for prom was Stairway to Heaven and the blue and silver decorations only added to the mystery and excitement in the air. The couples danced to the tunes of J.C. and the Legend until wee hours of the morning followed by a post prom dance and the traditional breakfasts. The beautiful decorations and arrangements were the result of many months of planning in advance by the prom committee and the Junior class advisors, Mrs. Leopold and Mr. Lancaster. It became a ritual for the students to be found making plans almost every other day at 7:40 AM in room 43. But, all the work was well worth it as the couples circled the floor in a nighttime wonderland. The Junior class brought a little bit of heaven down to fellow classmates on prom night, but after the decorations were tom down and dresses put in the closet, prom wouldn't be forgotten. Prom will be remembered as saying good-bye to our seniors, uniting the Junior class, and making more memories, which will be treasured by every MHS student.

They can show you that someone cares for you. Cats like to do a lot of things like May with string and balls. There are ■many different types of cats such as Ihe Manx, Burmese, and the Domestic Ihorthair. I If you want a really good friend, try I dog. Dogs are great to have. But dogs ►:an get into too much mischief. Dogs ike to play with balls, frisbees, and Kher toys, too. There are many kinds of dogs like Cocker Spaniels, Doberman Pincher, and the Great Dane, to name a few. Pets have been given to older people living in nursing homes and the people lived five years longer than expected. No matter what you have for a pet, whether it be a cat, dog, guinea pig or anything else, they are all nice to have around. If you don't have a pet yet, just go out to the pound and rescue one or go to the pet store and find a new friend.

Lefties, (also known as southpaws in the baseball world), are known for their creativity and their artistic abilities. Technically, lefties are also the only people who are in the right mind. A big advantage lefties have is doing things backwards , such as hitting tennis balls, dribbling, and batting a baseball. By making the players nervous, confusing them, and making them lose their concentration, being backwards can be helpful. But, there are disadvantages of being left-handed, too. Writing a paper in ink can cause one of these problems. Since they write from left to right, whatever they write gets smudged by a hand passing over it. Three-ring binders and spirals pose another annoyance. Yet, this is easily solved by writing on the backs of the papers. There remains one problem that lefties just cannot overcome. It is named the Boomerang. Boomerangs are made for those who are right-handed , not lefties! So, no matter how hard I try, my boomerang won't come back!! — Angie Leitzen Klein, Ambur Klemrn, Sheila Klentz, Michelle Klippel, Scott Knepel, Jenny Koch, Jenny Koning, Robin Krueger, Kevin Kruger, Jim Lancaster, Dave Leek, Tom Lehnherr, Jill Lehnherr, Troy Leopold, Chris Lickes, Jamie Lostetter, Jason Lyons, Scott Maaske, Lisa Mader, Cindy Malott, Nichole Martin, Roberta Marty, Kim Masshardt, Todd Mathias.

Tney slid down my nose, fogged up in winter, and generally destroyed any hope of a decent social life. I began to save my money for contacts and finally earned enough. My parents said yes and we made the appointment. The doctor was a smiling old man wearing glasses. I couldn't help wondering why this doctor wasn't wearing his own product, first, we looked at all the different colors I could get to change the color of my eyes. I thought purple would be neat. Mom didn't. We settled on aaua. Little did I know what was in store for me next! He made me sit in a reclining chair and blinded me with a bright light, firing questions about school and lecturing on getting eye makeup in my eyes Then my eye was very cold and I blinked. Luckily, the doctor had good reflexes and was able to catch the contact as it flew out of my eye. I thought to myself that if he hadn't tried to sneak it in my eye when I wasn't watching, I wouldn't have blinked. We tried again and again . .. Finally, after what seemed like hours, both contacts were in my eyes. Wow! No more glasses! Loaded down with bottles of cleaning solution and an instruction booklet about 50 pages long, I walked outride and was hit with a wina that 'suc- tioned' my eyes back into my head. Ouch!-No ,more glasses, I forgot! But it's worth it, I thought and I could hardly wait for the compliments I'd receive tomorrow at school. Trying to get them out at night was even more fun. Seated at the kitchen table with overly concerned parents behind me and towels spread out all over the place, I tried to get up the courage to put my finger in my eye. Finally, I just took a deep breath and pulled the little thine out from there. Scary! Now that wasn't so bad! With both contacts out and soaking in their nighttime solution, I set the alarm twenty minutes early, anticipating disaster in the morning. Many students at MHS have gone through the same ordeal I did, or considered it. Either way, there are advantages and disadvantages of being a contact-wearer. Ooviously, if you don't like your glasses, contacts can improve your looks. They can also make playing sports easier. But losing your contact in the middle of a basketball game and nav-ing the entire team get down on their hands and knees to search can be a little embarrassing!

Seniors affected by senioritis” started counting down the days until the final Big” day. 117 A.C.T. Syndrome The announcement comes over the P.A., Juniors and Seniors pick up ACT registration forms in Mr. Duit's office. I moan thinking I had better go and pick it up. After three days, 1 finally forced myself into Mr. Duit's office. Mr. Duit begins telling me everything I had to fill out, what to and what not to do. My mind, however, was wandering so I ended up going back to his office asking what to do again. I went home that day and threw the form on my desk to begin its dust collection. Two weeks later the announcement read, ACT registrations must be sent by Friday. No sweat, I think, it's only Monday — I have plenty of time. Thursday night I decided to find my form but it took onger that I thought because of htree inches of dust on it. I only filled out the name block because I was tired and wanted to go to bed. I had every intention of finishing the form when I woke up Friday morning. My alarm didn't go off and I was late for school. Now, instead of doing homework in my study hall, 1 had to finish my form. I thought it would be easy to finish until I began filling it out. I was asked every personal question possible. Finally, it was completed and ready to be mailed. The night before the test, Mr. Duit told me to get a good night's slepp. Nobody listens to that, I thought, so why should I? I regretted my choice when I had to get out of bed Saturday morning. I was so worried about getting to school by 8:00 AM for the test that I forgot to change out of my pajamas. I didn't feel out of place since everyone else wore theirs, too. The next three hours dragged by and it was finally noon. When the tests were done, I was releived to know I didn't have to go through this again until the SAT test in June. — Heidi Indergand David Hynek Heidi Indergand Vince Ingwell Matt Inman Noelle Isely Amanda Janetzki Erika Jeglum Matt jelinek Bobbette Johnson Tricia Johnson Brett Kaiser Bemie Kearns Becky Klemm Darci Klessinger 118 Fulfilling the requirements as college bound seniors, Cari Wild and Nicole Wichelt take note of Mr. Carroll's advance math lesson.

Gosh, my nails look awful! Where did I put my nailfile? I never realized how messy my purse was. I might as well clean it out. If it's going to kill time, it's worth a try. Ah-ha! there's that new piece of gum from yesterday. I wonder if it still has some flavor left. CRACK! (Yep!) You'd think half the hour would be gone by now. But noop, it has only been ten minutes. I'll write a note. Yawn! Well, if htis note puts me to sleep, it's going to put her to sleep, too. I really need things to do. Doodle! Yes — I love to doodle. (Two minutes later) I hate doodling. I think I'm sick. Wait! I think I'm in love! I didn't realize that gorgeous moving piece of moving flesh was in this class. (Daydreaming about the guy, I fall asleep) CLUNK! I'm out like a light! However, low and behold, the teacher stops during his stimulating lecture to spy with his bi-focal eyes a student (that's me) sleeping sound in the back ot hte room. I wasn't bothering anybody and Wham! The teacher threw an eraser at my head. I wake-up and find the class laughing because I have a white streak on the top of my head. Gee, how Funny! Oh well, I guess I could try to find something else to do. (The bell rings) I didn't realize what time it was. I sure did get a lot accomplished this hour — manicure, writing skills, drawing techniques, and caught a few winks of beauty sleep. And they say I don't do anything in school. My, how time flies when you're having fun — in a boring class! Heidi Brockman 121 This senior, Mark Rinehart, enjoys his last days at MHS.

Seniors 125 Tan One, Tan All As prom creeps closer and closer, many girls try on their formals, twirl in front of the mirror, and try to decide on what hairstlye and accessories. Unfortunately mirrors don't hide the truth and suddenly — AUGH! Gross! Yuk! I have no tan!!! Paranoid thoughts of looking like a white beached whale at the Prom run through their minds and they race to the phone to make appointments for the tanning spa. Not just girls, but guys, too, dish out the bucks to get tan before appearing in any summerwear. Some use the spa to avoid that first summer bum, but, if not careful, the tanning bed can leave quite a red mark that itches and stings just as bad as the real thing. Many parents shake thier heads in wonder at someone who will go to the extremes of being sandwiched between two flourescent slabs of plastic just to get tan. They warn their children that these things may cause skin cancer, but their words go unheard as teens lay back, turn on the tunes, adjust their goggles, and let the light bulbs go to work.

Awards 131 It's Not Over Till It's Over The tassles are turned, diplomas are in hand, and all the speeches are over. But, what now? Many seniors looked forward to this day since they were freshmen and now that it has happened, they are left feeling a mixture of emotions — excite-ment,happiness, sadness, and most of all, just plain scared. Sure, it's great to be out on your own, but this will not be the end for MHS seniors. Many will go to college, work fo enlist in the military. For Monroe seniors, graduation was not the end, but the beginning of a new and different life. Although they have shut their lockers for the last time, and tossed out their old notebooks, the memories will not be thrown away. The fun times and hard work at MHS will always be remembered and how knows? They might be back some day just to check out the old palce and say Hi! Three happy graduates celebrate after receiving their Rev. Goebel prays before the commencement exercises begin diplomas.

Everyone at MHS striving for the best. From sports championship games to National Merit Scholars, from the acting stage to the concert halls, MHS had a funfilled, eventful 1987-88 school year. The staff of the M-book tried to capture the memories of this awesome year, no matter what event it was. Students left their mark in the halls of MHS in many different ways. The staff wished to take these moments and mark them into this book, as a remembrance for the future. Many outside sources contributed to the contents of the M-book. We would like to thank them for the help. It was difficult for the staff to be everywhere, but we did not want to miss anything. We really appreciated the co-operation of teachers, coaches, and students during the year. From the first day of school until graduation, things were happening. Important things. The memories made and the lessons learned will hopefully be remembered for a long time. Neither, shall the voices of the students stop echoing throughout the building. The class of 1988 has moved on to adult life, now struggling to leave their mark in the world beyond high school. As the next classes learn,the class of 1988 will see they have left their mark.
