The summer of 1986 began on a positive note when as many as six million people and 20,000 boats converged on New York City for a spectacular celebration of the Statue of Liberty ' s 1 00 years of exis- tence. Amid fireworks, song and dance, all of which was televised to millions more. President Reagan lit the refurbished Lady Liberty with the words, We are the keepers of the flame of liberty; we hold it high tonight for the world to see. Large, traditional weddings were in the news that summer also as Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the late President John Kennedy and Jacqueline Onassis, married Ed- win Schlossberg. Her cousin, Maria Shriver, and muscleman-turned-ac- tor, Arnold Schwarznegger, also stepped to the altar as did tennis bad boy John McEnroe and actress latum O ' Neal. The grandest wed- ding, however, occurred in England where Prince Andrew gave up his playboy lifestyle and settled down with Sarah Ferguson. Meanwhile, closer to home, many area residents were awak- ened on July 1 2 when an earthquake centered near St. Marys was felt in four states. In September Ronald Reagan saw his choice of William Rehnquist to replace retiring Chief Justice War- ren Burger approved, but not with- out a fight. The Senate finally ap- proved Rehnquist, 65-33. That was the largest number of negative votes ever cast against a Supreme Court nominee who was confirmed. 6 Current events Nicholas Daniloff, Moscow bu- reau chief for U.S. News and World Report, was released on September 1 2 after spending nearly two weeks in a KGB prison. The release involved a trade with the U.S. for accused So- viet spy Gennadi Zakharov. That same week the New York Stock Exchange set a record loss. On Thursday the Dow dropped 86.61 points, an all-time record. It took an- other plunge, 34.17 points, the next day. Kellye Cash, Miss Tennessee and the grand-niece of singer John- ny Cash, was crowned Miss America in September amid complaints from Miss Ohio Mary Zilba that she was robbed because she wasn ' t se- lected as a finalist. An anti-drug campaign re- placed political campaigns for the Reagans last fall. They appeared to- gether on television to kick off a me- dia blitz urging people to Just say no. As part of the campaign. Presi- dent Reagan ordered all federal em- Fireworks explode in tlie bacl ground as the 100th birthday of the Statue of Liberty was celebrated July 4, 1986.

Vanna White became a superstar merely by turning letters on the game show Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Pat Sajak. ployees not to use illegal drugs and pushed for mandatory drug testing programs for employees in sensi- tive positions. The drug-testing push triggered much controversy throughout the year. Ohio Governor Richard Celeste took over for a second term when he defeated former governor James Rhodes by a landslide in November. Dayton mayor Paul Leonard became Celeste ' s lieutenant governor. Citi- zens of Carmel, California, made Clint Eastwood ' s day when they elected him mayor. The U.S. ' s controversial involve- imentwith Nicarasua began building In October when the Sandinistas shot down a supply plane that con- tained three Americans and a Nicar- aguan. The lone survivor, fornner Ma- rine Eugene Hasenfus, was held cap- tive for several weeks before being released just before Christnnas. j The happy ending to the Hasen- fus affair, however, was lost in the jbiggest scandal to rock the White Mouse since Watergate. In Novem- ber the secret sale of arms to Iran in exchange for American hostages ;being held in Lebanon was uncov- ered. To make matters worse, the $30 million in secret profits went to support the Nicaraguan contras. The foreign policy snafu cost Reagan his credibility and brought back memories of Watergate as na- tionally televised Congressional hearings began in the spring of 1 987. National security adviser John Poindexter and his aide, Oliver North, who seemed to be at the bot- tom of the operations, lost their jobs. White House chief of staff Donald Regan was also shown the door, and CIA Director William Ca- sey, hospitalized with a brain tumor the day before he was to testify be- fore the Senate Intelligence Commit- tee, died May 6 of pneumonia. Overshadowed by the Iran arms scandal was an event that made aviation history. Aboard Voy- ager, Dick Rutan and Jeana yeager circled the globe without landing or refueling. Spring was filled with scandal in both the political and religious are- nas. Jim and Tammy Bakker, leaders of the PTL (Praise the Lord) organiza- tion, left it in March after Bakker ad- mitted he paid a church secretary to remain silent about an affair seven years ago although he claimed that wasn ' t the reason he was stepping down. Bakker was later accused of homosexual activities and excessive spending of PTL money for the couple ' s personal use. Moral majori- ty leader. Rev. Jerry Falwell, took over the PTL ' s leadership and vowed the Bakkers would not re- Democratic Presidential frontrunner Gary Hart saw liis dreams 30 up in smol e in May when his extramarital Involvements were dis- closed. His decision to withdraw from the campaign left the door open for many other hopefuls. turn. The problems continued to plague the electronic ministry into the summer. On May 3 the political arena fell victim to a sex scandal when the Mi- ami Herald published a story claim- ing Presidential hopeful Gary Hart had spent the night of May 1 with actress-model Donna Rice. A mid- week disclosure by the Washington Post of another affair led to his pul- ling out of the race by week ' s end. A month later Ohio governor Richard Celeste found himself the victim as the Cleveland Plain Dealer published a story that Celeste had had three extramarital affairs. Cel- este refused to either confirm or deny the charges, but many experts doubted his political future at a na- tional level. Amid the accusations and an- ger, however, some people cele- brated. In February Californian Terry Williams spent $47 at Harrah ' s in Reno, Nevada, and hit the jackpot. He collected a record $4,988,842.14. The Academy Awards in April brought a best picture Oscar to Platoon, a movie about Viet Nam. A seven-time loser, Paul Newman fi- nally won the best actor award for The Color of Money. The best ac- tress Oscar was won by Marlee Mat- lin, a deaf actress, for Children of a Lesser God. Tonys, Broadway ' s top awards, went to James Earl Jones for his role ■ in Fences, which also won for the best drama, and Linda Lavin in Neil Simon ' s Broadway Bound. Les Miserables was named best musi- cal. Although Platoon won the Oscar, Top Gun was tops at the box office. The Bill Cosby Show again reigned supreme on the small screen during prime time. Other popular shows included Moonlighting, Cheers and new- comer LA. Law. Locally many res- idents turned their dials to NBC at 7:00 each evening to catch Vanna White and Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, the top two game shows of all time. The dreaded disease AIDS be- came a major concern throughout the year. Pianist Liberace and Rep. Stewart McKinney of Connecticut were both victims of the disease. Other famous people who died during the past year were Ted Knight of the Mary Tyler Moore Show ; Desi Arnez, former husband of Lucille Ball; Ray Bolger, the scare- crow in The Wizard of Oz ; pop artist Andy Warhol; singer and danc- er Danny Kaye; Maria Von Trapp, the subject of The Sound of Music ; Robert Preston, the star of The Mu- sic Man ; Mr. Greenjeans, the lov- able sidekick of Captain Kangaroo and actress Rita Hayworth. Current events 7 a yy? Trasedy struck the sports world on June 19 of 1986. Just two days after beins drafted by the World Champion Boston Celtics, ail-Ameri- can Len Bias of Maryland died of co- caine poisonins. Tragedy struck again just eight days later when Cleveland Browns star safety Don Rogers died of cocaine poisoning. The 23-year-old was to have been married the next day. Many fans said good-bye to one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. On March 12 Woody Hayes died following an il- lustrious coaching career at Ohio State. The boys of summer ' s best met in October. The New York Mets de- feated the Boston Red Sox 8-5 on the 27th to win the World Series. In game six, however, it looked as though Boston would win its first World Series in 68 years. With Bos- ton leading three games to two and ahead 5-3 with two outs and no one on in the tenth inning, the New York Mets came back and scored the win- ning run on a ball hit between the legs of Red Sox first baseman. Bill Buckner. Ray Knight was named the World Series MVP. Post season baseball recogni- tion went to Mike Scott of the Hous- ton Astros who won the National League Cy Young award while Roger Clemens, who struck out 20 batters in one game for a major league rec- ord, won both the American League Cy Young and MVP. Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies took home the National League MVP award. Ohio fans celebrated as the Cleveland Browns defeated the New York Jets in their first playoff game. Trailing the Jets by 10 points with under two minutes to play, the Browns came back and eventually won the game in the second over- 8 Current events time period, ' 23 ' ' - A week later they hosted the Denver Broncos for the AFC champi- onship. Again the game went into overtime, and again the final score was 23-20, but this time the Browns were on the losing end. The Broncos met their downfall two weeks later on January 25 when the New York Giants, who mauled their opponents in the playoffs, rolled to a 39-20 win to capture Su- per Bowl XXI. In sailing Dennis Conor, who in 1983 became the only man ever to lose the America ' s Cup, redeemed himself as Stars Stripes completed a 4-0 sweep over Kookaburra III to bring the America ' s Cup back to the U.S. in February. In college basketball Bobby Knight won his third NCAA champi- onship as his Hoosiers defeated Jim Boeheim ' s Syracuse Orangemen, 74-73 in the New Orleans Super- Michael Jordan of the Chicaso Bulls makes a fortune off the court as well as on with his own line of footwear called Air Jordan. Woody Hayes was the fifth winninsest coach in collesiate history (238-72-10), indudins three national championships at Ohio State. dome. Indiana was led by Keith Smart who scored 12 of his team ' s last 1 5 points including a game-win- ning sixteen footer. After being idle for almost three years. Sugar Ray Leonard de- feated Marvelous Marvin Hagler in a split decision to win boxing ' s Mid- dleweight title. After 16 seasons, Julius Erving, the man who single handedly car- ried the ABA and NBA, hung up his shoes. Better known as Dr. J, the founding father of the slam dunk won the first ever slam dunk contest and eventually a NBA World Cham- pionship ring in 1983. As one legend retires a new one is just beginning. Chicago Bulls su- perstar, Michael Jordan, is soaring to even greater heights. After complet- ing his first healthy season, Jordan led the league in scoring with 37.1 a clip. He also won the slam dunk contest and finished second to Los Angeles Laker guard Ervin Magic Johnson in the MVP voting. Al Unser Sr. joined A.J. Foyt as the winningest Indianapolis 500 driver with four victories. He also broke his brother Bobby ' s record as the oldest Indy winner.

With the loss of several key eighth grade runners from last season ' s undefeated team, the gan- gers relied on the steadily improving younger runners. In the early part of the season, some of the runners couldn ' t make it two miles. By the end of the season everyone made it easily. A key to this progress was that the junior high runners ran the same workouts as the high school runners. Above right, Ben Schrolucke, a seventh grader, chased his cousin Matt Schrolucke throughout the season, Ben ' s best time was 12:31 for the tv o-mile course. Far right, Jason Metzger leads a pack of three runners in the early part of the race. Metzg- er ' s best time of 14:21 kept him as fourth place runner for the Rangers. Right, Eighth grader Chad Elshoff pushes himself in a meet at the New Knoxville Gun Club. El- shoff placed third consistently for the Ran- gers with his best of 12:50. Below, Matt Schrolucke chases a Ft. Loramie runner near the finish line at the Spencerville Invitation- al. Matt placed first for the Rangers throughout the season except when he was sidelined with a leg injury. The team compiled a 4-3 dual meet record. The four victories came against Houston, Jackson Cen- ter, Coldwater and Parkway. The three losses came against Anna, Jackson Center and St. Marys. They also took a third at the Spencerville Invitational.

At the beginning the emphasis was on knowing basic volleyball skills: the bump, the set, the serve, and floor movements. Our motto was Never let it die. After the seventh grade won five straight games, the team concentrated on team play and three hits. This made the game tougher to play, but they finished with an 8-3 record and will start strong as eighth graders. With only six players the eighth graders were determined to win. overcoming the flu and injuries to hang in there. As the season pro- gressed, the team gained in confi- dence, and playing with authority, they finished with a 7-4 record, showing real strength against Mar- ion Local, St. Henry and New Bre- men. There should be some excellent volleyball in the future from these girls. It has been a real pleasure to be their coach and friend. Coach Linda M.

The girls had to learn several new plays and defenses. The girls did well at learning several skills, but everything was mainly centered around the basics of basketball. The seventh grade did well at learning the basics. They were not taught the various defenses the eighth grade learned. They came close in several games, but fell to defeat by just a few points. Every- one of the girls will do well if they just remember to follow the basic rules of basketball. The seventh grade finished the season at 2-9. The eighth grade did very well with the basics and then with the different defenses. For the first time in a long time for junior high girls ' basketball, they were taught a full court press. At the beginning of the year they were having trouble shooting the ball and were forcing shots. At the end of the year, they were looking for the open person and getting the open shot. Because of this teamwork, their shooting per- centage went up by the end of the year. The eighth grade finished the regular season at 5-8. They then moved on into tour- nament action. With just a few days of practice, the girls did an excellent job of playing. In the first game they won the game on defense and in the second game they won it with hustle and teamwork, to become Auglaize County Champs. The job the girls did this year set goals for next year ' s team to repeat as Auglaize County Champs.

They experienced many kinds of sit- uations. The fact that the team con- sisted of only six seventh graders limited the things that we could do. The effort was there, and with each individual working hard over the summmer, next season should be a success. The eighth grade team consist- ed of eight players working togeth- er to reach goals that very few peo- ple outside of the realm of the team thought they could reach. They ac- complished what no other New Knoxville junior high team had done in the last 15 years. They won the Auglaize County Tournament. The players worked together as a team. They did whatever it took to win a game. If it took scoring, they got the ball to the right people in the right situations. If it took defense, they shut down the right people. If it took passing, dribbling, or reboun- ding, they did it. Everyone under- stood what was expected of them nd their teammates. Each member of the team has now experienced that special feel- ing that only belongs to a team that has won a championship. It is a bond between each team member, in- cluding the coach. For the people not connected with the team, they experienced a piece of the feeling if they were at the championship game when the final basket was made. That is what this team was all about. I am sure these young men will continue to strive to reach future goals to obtain that special feeling again.

After studying about the Civil Var, the history of Washington, and )ur Presidents, it was thrilling to ac- ually stand where they stood, vhere they fought, and where they lied. We were filled with awe as we ipproached the huge monuments and memorials, which are dedicated to the great leaders who committed their lives into making our country the flourishing country it is today. Our class got as much out of Washington, D.C, as we possibly could in five days, and we had a lot of fun enjoying the friendship of each other and Mr. and Mrs. George. Washington was a valuable experi- ence to all of us, and it will be a memory forever in our hearts. By Carrie Kuck Top, each year the eishth grade boy and girl with the highest grade point average are chosen to place a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

During the year the band also performed at the Fall Concert, Winter Concert, Opern House Concert, and the Music Awards Banquet. In- cluded in one concert was a combined band performance by students in grades 6-12. At the end of the year at the annual Music Awards Ban- quet, two students were hon- ored with special awards.

At the beginning of the year the club accepted an offical constitution called Der Deutsche Verein. Committees were also formed for all the various activities. Cookies were sold twice during the year, at Christmas and Valentine ' s Day. Prior to the advent season, the club sold advent calenders which contained a piece of candy for each day of the season. Kris Kringle Week, held in mid-December, went smooth- ly and ended with the gift ex- change and Christmas party held at Heather Wietholter ' s home.

Publications class jects new idea Despite small numbers the publications class adapted to meet the challense of the 1986-87 school year. With only four people enrolled in the class, the monthly school newspaper was replaced by a quarterly literary magazine called The Pulse. The maga- zine was a collection of art and writing by students from kindergarten through grade 12. Each class member took a turn at editing the magazine. While the yearbook shrunk fifty pages from the previous Sesquicentennial yearbook, deadlines became tough to meet because of the paucity of students and the compli- cated layouts they attempted this year. One advantage was that three members of the class were veterans. A workshop they attended early in the school year gave them many ideas which they tried to in- corporate in the 1 987 Memoir. Above, Glory be ... Dionna Hoel- scher shows her frustrations while Jerry Lehman wonders if he should run for cover.

Publications 47 Ih Inovations add life to traditional organization A service project, a money- makins project, and an induc- tion ceremony usually occupy the time of tlie National Honor Society. Early in the year, the club ' s seven members en- joyed a large profit from sweatshirt and sweat pants sales. That money was used to fund several ambitious activi- ties of the club throughout the rest of the year. On January 30, the group organized a reception for the 1947 state basketball runners- up, their coach, and the cheer- leaders. Team members shared pictures, scrapbooks. and memories in the gym where they once played. They were then introduced before the varsity game to an enthusiastic group of fans. To finish the evening in style, the 1987 Rangers defeated Park- way. The final activity of the year was a new event for the group. They traveled to Day- ton for a field trip that includ- ed tours of the Dayton Art In- stitute and Museum of Natural History and an evening at La- Comedia Dinner Theatre where they saw the musical, Oklahoma. The qualifications for membership were changed this year Ini accordance with the national chapter ' s rules. Instead of a grad- uated grade point average for sophomores, juniors, and sen- iors, a 3.3 average was adopted as a minimum for any student in the top three grades. Those meeting the grade requirement were then evaluated by the faculty in the areas of character,] leadership and service. On March 10, seven inductees were honored as the members entered the classrooms to tap the| new inductees. Below, Brett Fledderjohann is tapped by senion member, Jeff Henschen.

The council sponsored the annual Homecoming dance on January 2 with the theme, Ringing in the New Year. Students relaxed and enjoyed the music of Z-man sound systems. Student Council also spon- sored Parents ' Night for the different athletic programs. Red carnations were given to underclassmen ' s parents and white ones to the seniors ' par- ents. The one new highlight of the organization was the revival of the community pep rally which was held on November 25 prior to the start of basl et- ball season. The boys ' and girls ' varsity and reserve teams were recognized. The coaches also gave their thoughts on the upcoming season. Row 1 : Jenny Leffel, Cathy Horstman, Sheila Thompson.

The sign competition, won by the freshmen, was an activity of Spirit Week. Spirit sisns plastered the walls of hallways and the gym as the Pep Club worked hard to maintain spirit for this year ' s struggling teams. The club sponsored several pep rallies, which featured class contests. Spirit Week was held early in the season, December 1-5. Students and faculty enjoyed participating in hat and but- ton, inside-outside and back- wards, and nerd days. Of course the traditional Beat Bremen Day was celebrated on Friday with many students wearing red and gray. The freshmen won a cash award for the best decorated sec- tion of the gym, and Beth Heidt won a pizza when she became the first person to say Beat Bremen to Mr. Bow- sher after lunch.

I Hi I pj Cheerleaders Instill school spirit for basketball A cold sym filled with silence, seven staring judges, and a stomach bursting with butterflies is what girls remember most about their first cheerleading tryouts. Then it ' s off to summer camp. We were evaluated the first night, and our requirements were two cheers and a dance routine! The rest of the week was a piece of cake — a frozen piece of cake! We got up every morning by 6:30, cheered all day long, and usually went to bed around midnight. My body never knew the feel of pain until that week. By the last day the squad was exhausted, but we were ready for the final competition. We had learned and practiced our routine all week, and we were confident we would do well. At the end of the competition the judges announced and first place goes to New Knox- ville V irsity! I learned then that hard work pays off and I couldn ' t wait until basketball season. Being a cheerleader has been more than a learning experience. It ' s taught me the value of friendship and given me a sense of pride. When I leave high school, the memories of being a cheerleader and the friendships that developed will always be close to my heart. At camp this past summer the varsity learned a song in sign lan- guage. The song was called You Are My Friend and was the brain- storm of our camp director who wrote it for her deaf daughter. The last verse of this song is special to me and sums up my feelings toward all the people I ' ve grown close to through cheerleading — I ' m so proud to be your friend, I hope our friendship never ends.

After gradu- ating a strong class of five varsity letter winners, many positions were left up in the air. Freshmen played well to help fill the void created by graduation. The team had a slow beginning, but by the time the uniforms were hand- ed in, the girls had garnered a 14-9 record for the year. The special victory this year came during the Rangers ' first meet- ing with rival New Bremen. We had lost to teams that we hadn ' t for a while, said eleventh-year varsity coach, Charles Braden. We hadn ' t been playing well together, but this game got the team back on track. The tradition of a team theme prevailed once more this year. DEW IT — Dedication, Enthusiasm and Work — guided the team. The girls must have taken the motto to heart because Coach Braden complimen- ted them for maintaining a good atti- tude. There was no complaining or bickering this year, said Braden. We had fun, but we also worked when the time arrived. Lisa Scheblo and Angle Arnett both enjoyed successful senior sea- sons. Lisa was named first team All- Ohio and first team District 8 and played in the state All-Star game. Angle was honored by being named to the District 8 All-Star match and honorable mention All-Ohio.

There were only seven girls making up the reserve team. Those seven were comprised of five freshmen, one sophomore and one junior. The girls traveled with six players to the Elida Invitational on October 4 where they tied for third. The girls sure did live up to their reputation as being the few, the proud, the Rangers ! The team worked hard on fun- damentals and ball control and that hard work paid off with seven wins.

Although the 1986-87 boys ' reserve basketball team had a deceiving 5-15 record, they lost two games by one point and two games in overtime. The Ran- gers also fell victim to a very power- ful Delphos St. John ' s squad by three points. They also held the lead after three quarters against Anna before losing in the final few min- utes. With a few breaks they easily could have ended with 11 wins. We played a variety of de- fenses to keep our opponents off. guard and played very aggressively both on offense and defense. With a 1 6-man roster it was dif- ficult to give everyone equal playing time. However, the freshmen were entered into the Parkway freshmen tournament where they defeated a much larger Adams Central, Indiana, team. I feel that the season was a suc- cess and that all players improved their skills. Charles Rowen Above, Daniel Allen releases this jumper as Evan Williams heads for reboundins po- sition.

Most of the time the line-up consisted of two seniors, one junior, one sophomore and five freshmen. Compared to other teams we played, the Rangers were physically smaller, but with time and maturity this will change and we should have a stronger team. This year ' s boys played very competitively, and coaches from the other teams were impressed by our young team. Our schedule had us playing four teams ranked in the state with us winning one 6-3, over Lima Perry and losing another to Parkway, 2-0. Our record for the season was 3-1 4, but with time and hard work New Knoxville baseball will again be successful. This year ' s seniors, Jeff Henschen and Matt Gabel, were named to the MAC honorable mention. I had an enjoyable season with the boys. They worked hard, and we had a good time together.

Junior Evan Williams qualified in the 100 but was called for a false start in the preliminaries, thus endins his chances early. Earlier in the year Williams broke the school record with a time of 11.2. Another junior, Laurie Merses, qualifyins in the discus, was unable to break into the final seven at re- Sionals. Laurie broke the school rec- ord when she threw 97-4 at New Bremen. She then improved on that distance, recordins throws of 99-1 1 and 103-2 4 before season ' s end. Only a freshman. Shannon E3- bert established three school rec- ords on her way to becomins New Knoxville ' s first female entry in the state track meet. Shannon ' s best time of 50.6 in the 300-meter hurdles set a new record as did her hish jump of 5-2 and her Ions jump of 16-83 4. Shannon placed second in the Ions jump at districts and then quali- fied for the state meet by finishins fourth at the Bowlins Green resion- als. At the state in Columbus, she broke her own record asain, jump- ins 16-8% on her first jump, qualify- ins her for the finals. Althoush the remainins five jumps were no bet- ter, her first jump was enoush to Sive her sixth place. Because of small numbers, win- nins a lot of meets was difficult. However, Coach Jerry Merses stressed quality instead of quantity. Several team members enjoyed per- sonal success. With only two seniors on the team and several talented un- derclassmen, the outlook appears brisht for next year if enoush peo- ple are willins to participate. It would be sad to lose a pro- Sram that has so much potential just because people are unwillins to sac- rifice time and effort, said Coach Merses. As evidenced this year, with the time and effort these three individuals (Merses, Williams and Esbert) experienced a lot of suc- cess. New Knoxville has made a name for itself in track. Let ' s not lose it. Below left, Brian Lammers takes it one step at a time and leads his challenger from Houston. Brian ' s best time for the 1 1 high hurdles was 16.7 seconds.

' by Naomi Poling Academics 73 ) English and history work conjunction ) - As everyone knows, history records facts and detaHs of-the past. In most history courses learning is basically objective, and students are merely required to spit back memorized dates and events without any understanding of why events occurred. However, at New Knoxville this is not the case. The why is just -as important as the when, who, and how, if not more so. Students receive an in-depth knowledge of past events. With the history- tnglish research paper done by juniors a high point is reached. Students research a historical event or person and then work Tn English class on taking note cards, forming a thesis, composing -an outline and writing the paper. This eight-page work is worth a total of 300 points in each class and is graded by Mr. Charles -Rowen for historical content and Mrsr-ianeaTT-Oberlander for technique, style and grammar. A similar coordination of past events and writing is con- -tained in the newspaper project completed by English 10 stu- dents. Here students read a biography of a famous person and -use the writing techniques learned to produce a newspaper con- taining all the required departments. Thus, while learning about a famous person, students also improve their writing skills. by Naomi ij oling Top, sophomore Antonietta DePaola watches a video of Great Expectations during English 10 class.

Artwork is one form used by many students. Given a broad assignment, students then add their own flair to make projects uniquely their_ own. For example, use of the primary colors and their different values and hues produced a wide- variety of works ranging from simple geometric forms to more complex designs. As always, sTCF ' dents ' artwork appeared on display in several art shows and received numerous awards.

At the end of August, 1 986, 1 ar- rived in the New World. New Knoxville appeared as a nice little town with one school, two churches, three shops, and a gas sta- tion. That was not exactly what a German exchange student coming to America expected. But soon I could change my mind and learn to love the town and the people. A great help for me was the Sesqui- centennial that came up only one week after school had started. Quickly I got to know many people, and for at least five days there was a place where I could go and meet people. These days were probably the most important ones of the whole year. After the festival, life in school became much easier. I dis- covered the advantages of a small community. In a bigger school I would have had many more prob- lems to make friends. But here soon everybody knew me, and I could concentrate on my language prob- lem. Trying to find the right words for every sentence is strange. But af- ter a while I started thinking and some- times even dreaming in English. I also have to thank my host par- ents, Pat and Mike Geib, who helped me a lot. As there was always a friend- ly atmosphere at home, I never got homesick and could enjoy my stay without any emotional conflicts. All in all the whole year has be- come a great experience and will al- ways remain one of my best memo- ries. Finally I also have to apologize for my first, negative thoughts of New Knoxville. Now I can say that it is a very nice little town with many interesting and helpful people. I am happy my stay here had been made possible.

Candids 79 evitable fun for all at the The thought of a five-day cele- bration provoked concern in me. Would there be enough activities to keep the community interested for that long? I didn ' t need to ponder that aspect. It seemed as if some- thing unique was alvvays going on. This year ' s festival moved to the school grounds because of the extra space there. The old gym be- came a theater. Here the queen pag- eant, fashion show, Sesquicentenni- al play, Our Times, and the Ger- man guests ' entertainment were giv- en before packed houses. The new gym became a display center for lo- cal businesses and organizations and provided a gathering spot for friends and former residents to lin- ger well past the nine o ' clock closing time. Randy Haberkamp and Bruce and Rusty Elsass turned the bus ga- rage into a museum where they also showed Haberkamp ' s video of New Knoxville, Small Town, American. The Sesquicentennial agenda held several ne w activities to enter- tain fest-goers this year. A polka band played music from our guests ' homeland on Thursday night, tours were given of New Knoxville ' s local industries and interest spots on Fri- day and Saturday, and the Neil Arm- strong Airport featured an air show on Saturday afternoon. Along with these new additions came a commu- nity church service at the United Church of Christ and several dances to entertain all age groups.

Sesqujg tennial 81 Rinsing the New Year For two years Student Council has had a scheduling problem with Homecoming. This year they han- dled it by scheduling it during Christ- mas vacation. The ceremonies were held during the Spencerville game on Tuesday, December 30. Angle Arnett and Jeff Henschen were crowned queen and king by last year ' s royalty, Jill Schroeder and Doug Merges. This was the highlight of the evening be- cause the game was a disappointing 96-57 loss. The dance on Friday, January 2, created another problem for the Student Council — the gym had to be decorated under an effective theme. Ringing in the New Year was chosen and at nine o ' clock Fri- day morning, the council entered the old gym — decorating supplies in hand — to transform the place. An apple sat on one end of the stage to remind us of the Times Square celebration. Multi-colored paper covered the tables and confetti and serpentine covered the walls and floor. Party horns and paper blow- outs were given out at the door. Student Council adviser, Charles Rowen, viewed Homecoming as an overall success. Despite the differ- ent difficulties, the council once again made its job run smoothly.

An hour and a half later the Au- glaize Mercer Family V hosted after-prom activities which included basketball, volleyball, racquetball, swimming, weight-lifting and movies. These activities were officially over at 4:30 although a few tired couples left earlier. The juniors began planning their prom in early Janu- ary. Even so, some joked that the theme would have to be changed to The Unfinished Prom because th( found themselves short on time. The color scheme w ' black and red with touches of silver. Large half-masi! adorned the entryway and walls while smaller om ' were given out at the door as prom favors.

I Juniors Naomi Poling and Evan Williams take time out during a square dance to show off their elegant prom fashion-wear. The popular style for guys at New Knoxville this season was the tuxedo while most girls wore the traditional taffeta. Some, however, opted for the new trend, lame. 84 From If prom-goers didn ' t know how to square dance before prom, most of them learned before the night was over.

Follow- ing the precedent set by last year ' s seniors, the class chose not to have a guest speaker, but to have the class president and valedictorian speak. The class also fol- lowed the tradition of singing a class song, That ' s What Friends Are For. Of the 27 graduates, 80 percent plan to pursue fur- ther education. Half chose to attend a four-year college with Ohio State University, Bowling Green State Univer- sity and Wright State University being most popular. Several others chose two-year technical schools such as Northwest Business College. Two seniors headed for the United States Army. Still others chose to work. Once again a foreign exchange student, Olaf Wink- ler, graduated with the seniors. He will return to Ger- many and attend a German Gymnasium. Another gradu- ate, Naomi Poling, left New Knoxville as a junior to attend a four-year school. Left, Jay Cummins proudly receives liis diploma from board mem- ber Eusene Opperman.

I enjoyed teachins second sraders, said Mrs. Rodeheffer. They were enthusiastic and eager to learn, and I was fascinated by what ail they could share in class. Known for the many plays her classes performed, Mrs. Rodeheffer also attempted to mai e her students aware of the world outside New Knoxvilie as she shared what she had discovered in her world travels for the past 1 5 years. Mrs. Rodeheffer ' s first trip in 1 973 took her to Italy, Greece, the Holy Land and the Middle East. Ten years later, in 1 983, she traveled to Belsium, the Neth- erlands, and West and East Germany, where she took Martin Luther ' s 500th ibirthday tour that included Wittenbers, Eisenach, Erfurt and Worms. Last year she traveled to England, Ireland and Wales in the summer and Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii in November. One of her stops was Christ- church, New Zealand, where the major activity at the airport is the U.S. Naval Support for Antarctica. This is the last stop for persons who are going on an expedition to the South Pole, one of the few places Mrs. Rodeheffer has not visited. In fact, she has traveled to all continents except Antarctica. She has also been in Canada, Mexico and every state. I hope to continue traveling in the U.S. when I finish my overseas adven- tures, she said. This past summer her travels took her to China and Hong Kong. Since her retirement Mrs. Rodeheffer has spent some time taking classes at Wright State Lake Campus. I enjoyed being in the class with students who are younger than I am. Mrs. Madeline Rodeheffer was honored with a retirement party in May at Northmoor Coun- try Club. She received a silver bowl and can- dlesticks as a parting gift.
