This year the recip- ient of this honor is not a student, but one who has put in more hours, weeks, and years in the school system than any student. Richard Peters. Peters, who has taught for 24 years, was chosen as Iowas Teacher of the Year for 1986-87. The State Department of Education singled Peters out from a group of 46 other lowa teachers nominated for the award. As a result of this honor, Peters will be engaged in radio, tv, and magazine 5 A' r 1 El ' ii. Joy Jordan, Parker Kelley and Bob Blythe yell for the seniors at a pep assembly interviews. He also has many other important engagements such as a meeting with the Govenor, Terry Bran- stad, and speaking at numerous state teachers conventions. l was very surprised and excited about receiving the awardj, exclaimed Mr. Peters but the local school and community were not. Ninety to 100 hours a week of Peters time is devoted to the school. ln addition to approxi- mately 8 hours as a teacher, he is also the events director. ln the summer- time, if not found in his garden, Peters may be found attending college as a student, or traveling with family or stu- dents.

'I II lllll TIME, EFFORT SWEAT JOY FRUSTRA- TION, AND DEDICATION go into any endeavor on its way to excellence. Webster defines excell as to be distin- guished by superiority, to surpass others, to be first class? We at Mount Vernon whether we are students in class, athletes on the field, teachers sharing their experiences and learn- ing, or citizens of our society have and always will strive for excellence: to be a bit better than we originally thought possible. The working for excellence is not an easy or part time job. Dedication is the key word for that success. There will be setbacks and disappointments. There will be times of fmstration and sometimes tears. High goals and stan- dards aren't attained easily - but they are attainable. This book is dedicated to the commit- ment of our students, teachers, parents and community who help each one of us see our own individual excellences whether they be shouted in the public or savored in our private moments.

Vernon girls' volleyball team thrived on defying the odds. They were faced with a lack of experience and height, but overcame it with an incredible amount of spirit and desire. Not much was expected from them, but they soared to a 9663 state ranking with inspired play at many important tournaments. A big victory came when the girls took a game from the 2A State Championship team, Dubuque Wahlert. The dream season was finally ended in the Regional final, one game away from State. lt was a terrible disappoint- ment, but the team held their heads high. They could be proud of the sea- son and of the special honors that some players received. .Ioy Jordan and Monica Gondek were named lst team all-conference, while laura Peters was named to the 2nd team. Jordan was also named lst team all-state and Gondek and Becky Brem- ner followed with speicial mention all- State.

Vernon history, this 1986 team would have to be classified as just that. Who would have dreamed that a team with only ll returning lettermen and 9 juniors would come within 3 points of going to the playoffs. As the season progressed so did the team's success. Vldth 4 games played and a record of 2- 2, the Mustangs went on a 5 game winning streak to end their season with an impressive 7-2 record. Some people might think that the loss to Solon was the lowest point of the sea- son. Not true, the first game against Anamosa when they lost 6-0 was the most disappointing game that year. Al- though Mt. Vernon never broke into the rankings they did get some players on the All-Conference team. Senior guard Ernie Foss made first team offense and junior down lineman Keith Woods made first team defense. Second team All-Conference on offense was Doug West at end, and Keith Woods at mn- ning back. Second team defense was Scott Gross at linebackerf Dave Ran- dall at defensive back, and James Drahos at place kicker. CAndy Colemanj The bands marching show this year included a drill team of six members. The band went to the State Marching Band contest which was held at Kings- ton Stadium in Cedar Rapids and re- ceived a two for their performance. Other contests attended were the Mar- ion Marching Band contest where they received a first place, and the Ma- quoketa Marching Band contest where they placed third.

What their record doesn't show is that in the five games in a row they lost, they lost by less than 3 points each.

This year's Pep Band received several letters complimenting them on their outstanding performances. Pep Band is not an organized band. All participants participate on a volunteer basis. The Pep Band has to be com- mended on its active participation and dedicated members who showed up for many games. They were a boost to the moral and enthusiasm of all team members. 5.

This year, the Yearbook was produced solely by the Publication Design Class. ln previous years, a Yearbook Club helped during th first semester, but because of lack of members, the club did not exist this year. Photographic coverage of the first se- mester events was handled by volun- teers and Mrs. Swenson. The Publica- tion Design class started their work in January with the selection of the cover design and color. Choosing the cover design and color is a hard process where individuals learn to put aside personal preferences in favor of choos- ing a cover that the majority of the students can be proud of. The class chose purple and silver as the colors because those colors had not been used before, and they have an ele- gance about them. Each Yearbook Staff wants a book that will be unique and not a copy of previous years. Lori Davidson and Marty Jacob check over yearbook layouts N? 1 mfs.. .... . ,jg L I Q3 A s veg?

In addition, students are introduced to the basics of the publication industry and the proce- dures a printed piece must go through in order to become a finished product. They also participate in a unit on pho- tography and darkroom work. It has always been helpful when pan of the staff have taken Photography classes, and can immediately take over the rush darkroom work. In the spring of the year, the class divides into teams to sell advertisement space for the next year's book. A unit of study on advertis- ing and selling procedures preceeds the actual sales campaign. Local ad- vertising helps fund a large part of the production expenses. All of the pages were sent to Taylor Publishing in camera-ready form. The type was sent on floppy disk to Typehouse of Iowa in Cedar Falls, where it was set into galleys ready for paste-up.

This years Student Council -was highly active and involved in a variety of is- sues. The officers attended a leader- ship convention in the fall, and the Council undertook the entire Homecoming week with the exception of the game itself. For the holiday season, the Council sponsored a week long food drive that brought in over S1000 worth of goods, and also sponsored a turkey hunt where the finders of two hidden paper turkeys won ten pound turkeys in time for Thanksgiving. Throughout the year, the Council spon- sored several dances including a Win- ter Formal, and held a widely publi- cized Twinkie Eating Contest. ln addi- tion, members sold pins for the Mus- cular Distrophy Association fund rais- er.

Mt Edward Pitlils We dedicate this book to you for all the good times. Eddie Pitlik was a high school custo- dian for eight years. That's what it would say in the listing of school em- ployees. But we all know Eddie was more. Eddie was Eddie: the one who said hi to you and knew your name, the one who helped you fix your car, the one who sat in the commons with you and told jokes or listened to your wor ries and let you know he cared He was the one who grumbled God Damn kids as he cleaned up our messy tables but under the grumble we could hear I like you anyway I like kids He liked us He was comfortable with us and straight with us We could count on him to be here to be Eddie If we screwed up he told us loud lf we did all right he told us loud He watched us talk and goof around and study and play ball and perform in plays and make music He came to our Commencements because he was our friend and to many of us like a father Eddie Pitlik was part of this school part of our lives Memories of high school will include memories of Ed e l remember the lirst time I met Eddie lt was my hrst day of school here and while l was walking down the hall Eddie came up and asked me who I was He was a very special friend Him Wulf He helped people when he didnt have to He didnt do it meahly hejust did it and was glad he did it You could ask him for any kind of help and you got a smile comment a joke but never a yell or a lecture You can replace a custodian but you cant replace a friend Brant Hoffman l feel sorry for those people who come through this school without knowing Ed Because Ed gave you life when you neded it mostl im Harger Whenever you saw this kind man in the halls or sitting in the commons at a table he was surrounded by students He was more than a janitor he ,vas our friend Leslie Slife Miller you ve got too much goddamn shit in that locker Those are some of the words l heard Eddie Pitlik say the last day of his life Ed was always one to complain with a bit of cussirig along the side but deep down he would do about anything for each and any one of us in this school There was something about him that made you feel comfortable when he was around Dennis Jordan Eddie was a fatherly hgure to me During my four years of high school he never once made me feel out of place l feel that Eddie took lt upon himself to make sure he did what ever was possible to make us better people Scott Gross He added a brightness to school Everyone knew who Eddie was by the lirst week of their freshmen year He took jokes very well expe cially about being bald and such I always thought he d be around forever The thing l remember Eddie most for is his ability to communicate with us teenagers and ht right into some of the conversations like he was one as well E rich Jacobsen l think l have learned my most valuable les sons from Eddie Ho teachei could have taught me more or anything as important as he did He taught me to b friendly Dewane Hughes Even when he was in a bad mood we dia care because we knew that ln awhile he'd back to his normal laughing smiling,joklng, a whistling self lm sure l speak for every: when lsay We loved you and we re really gc to miss you Brent Durgin He enjoyed his work because he was arot young people He would always have a smile his face and that would make you smile wl you were down ln school he never had too much to do wh he couldn t chat for awhile He showed pec how to relate with each other he set an exe e We always joked about his hair or lack of it pat him on the head and say Looks like getting ripel He had a funny response ev time All l can think is God must have Ugure was ripe too People always say God has reasons for people dying when they do.'

The word Juniors goes a long way toward describing the Mt. Vernon Boys' Tennis Team. The top six return- ing players this year were Juniors. These boys showed their talents in a rather impressive fashion in their sea- son opener by winning 6-3 to Marion on April 14. Although our top six players are Juniors, they have experience against the tough competition we face, said Coach Doug Wumkes who is in his tenth year as head of the Boys' Tennis program. Wumkes' goal was to improve the ten- nis skills and competitive attitudes of the players. A tough schedule was the biggest problem. The majority of their meets were against larger schools. Junior Warren Sutherland baclshands a shot to his opponent. Proving that he is the top tennis player Stacy Gross shows us his style. Mr. Bellamy stated, This was a good year with a good quality of athletes. The 1987 Boys' Track Team consisted of a group of boys who had partici- pated in track throughout their high school careers, and worked hard for a successful 1987 season. Although the team consisted of only fourteen run- ners for the entire season, the Mus- tangs managed to finish third at the ten team conference meet. Highlights of the year included Doug West qualifying in the prestigious Drake Relays 110 hurdles, John Skretta breaking a nine year old school record in the 3200 meter run, the mile relay CS. Gross, S. Boyd, D. Hughes, J. Skrettal winning at conference, and the 4 by 400 relay CD. West, S. Gross, J. Skretta, D.

Although the team was a young group, they set their goal to place in the top three at conference. Although they fell short of this goal, junior Angela Harms said, We felt good about the meetfl Junior 'Una Palmer was a strong team member in more than one way. As the shot putter, she always was in the plac- ings. Paula Sandf stated Angela, 'fran extremely well in the 1500 meter run in every meetf' Their after season party will stay in the girls' minds.

Last years Softball records were 8-19 overall, and 4-10 in conference play, After getting off to a slow stan, winning just one out of ten games, the team excelled to win seven of their next nine games. The team won two games in a row against West Branch and Anam- osa, also winning the last two confer- ence games of the season.

Coached by Lisbon's Mr. Mike Kleins- mith, nine Mount Vernon girls and one Lisbon girl set their goals to have a winning season and to improve their scores. Junior Jennifer Clark stated, We be- came better golfers this year because we knew more about the sport. The high point of the season was that the girls were winning more meets than ever before. Their low point was the conference meet, but as Jennifer Clark put it, This year we began to really feel competitive. Mount Vernons Boys' Golf team this year had an abundance of young men competing to be part of the team. The reason for so many participants is hard to find, but according to the slice king , senior Pat Gevock, l joined to be able to participate in a sport I like, and to spend some time out of doors. Also, it's a sport where I donft have to sweat to death and puke my guts out after it's over. The top three varsity spots were usual- ly filled by Junior Todd Lehr, and Sophomores Chris McVay and Jeff Meeker. Nick Gevock, James Drahos, . Mike Svatosch, and Todd Neal com- peted in a continual dog fight for the remaining two varsity spots. mise k,,, v vm Carter White chips onto the green. 4 L I 89 F I Q I U I Mr5chwiebertloolwslil1e hes worn outfrom - - - prom.
