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.

JUMP BACK! Jump back. Jump back! The 'Cat' won't take no flack! 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.

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.
