Classes were starting at 8:00 a.m., ending at 2:30 p.m., then people went to sports or club activities. Some students found themselves trying to keep up with Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordache, and Izod, accom- panied by pleated skirts or penny loafers. Some kept their summer jobs, waiting on tables at Richard ' s or Dutch Mill, carrying groceries at Maloley ' s or Gerber ' s Super Value, or farming in addition to all their ac- tivities at school. The extra money came in handy though, whether it was used to take that special someone to see Arthur, Halloween II, or out for pizza or maybe a few times at the Moonraker or Wharf.

It wasn ' t easy to keep up with the moving trends and soaring prices, but having the latest fad was vital for survival. Norwell was on top of the fashion scene with the preppy look. Crew neck sweaters, pleated skirts, knickers, knee socks, and penny loafers were favored clothing for the females. The male population joined the preppy trend by wearing Oxford shirts, designer jeans, deck shoes, and tweed blazers. IZOD accessories were synonymous with preppy. The alligator crept up all over the place. He attached himself to sweaters, jackets, jeans, and even key chains. Many students spent their year caught up in the Rubik ' s Cube Craze. Those colorful cubes were everywhere! Teachers were ignored, studies pushed aside, and lunches cut short so the cube could be mastered. It was possible to uncover the mystery, and a fortunate few did. However, the rest frustrated themselves time and time again. Why did senior Kent Maggard keep twisting and turning the cube? He replied, That is a good question! The little cube posed a great challenge, cap- turing the competitive spirit in each person who invested valuable time to discover the solution. A bouquet of balloons was the way to delight the heart of a special friend on his or her birth- day. A clown brought in a bunch of balloons and presented them to the honored person. This uni- que method of sending a message caught on at Norwell and the multi-colored clown frequently entered the castle. The combination of fads, fun, and friends, contributed much delight and many memories to the year. I ' m gonna get this sucker yet.

The Bluffton Street Fair makes for a week of fun and spending. Norwell students cluster and converse in the fair ' s midway. With autumn came adjustments and com- mitments. It was a time for erasing the irrespon- sibihty of vacation and forgetting the frivolous folly of summer. The time had come once again to work, practice, and study. Fall brought many experiences unique to its season. Students endured their first full month of school, enjoyed the local street fairs, and emptied their pockets of a summer ' s fortune for supplies and fees. To awaken and discover the result of friends ' admiration in the form of toilet paper in trees and soap on windows was common during this season. Crawling out of bed became more difficult as each morning came darker and colder than the last. The urge to remain snuggled under the covers was seemingly unconquerable. Yet, when the day ' s adventiu ' es filled the mind, miss- ing such a day by staying in a warm bed was unthinkable. As the temperature dropped and the sun ' s in- tensity decreased, heavy coats, sweaters, scarves, and mittens came out of storage. The cban.ij ' In temperature was evidenced in the ad- ded eqiripioen! the teams needed when prac- Autumn Adjustments ticing outside. Cross Coimtry runners found stocking caps to be necessary, football players put on long Johns, and tennis players donned sweatsuits. Despite the chill in the air, athletes remained persistent. The cold had little effect on the fans ' atten- dance. Even as the temperatures fell, school spirit outweighed the dread of the cold. Wool blankets, winter coats, and close companions took away the chill or maybe it just made the chilling endurable. As the season brought changes, the changes brought work. Leaves required continual raking to keep ahead of their mess. Wardrobes demanded re-evaluation and expansion to pro- perly protect the body from the elements of autumn. Cars needed winterization to prevent premature deterioration. Even though the fall was mild, the season did a sufficient job of warning that winter was on its way. As winter approached, the prospect of the return of warm sunny days grew dim, and the reality of summer faded to a memory. The lazy days spent at the pool or hangin around were gone forever, or so it seemed. ■• «--? ' !- ' i8 •■ ■ ■- ' ■- ' ■; ,. ■; i .. ' ■ ' .

When the illness struck, it drained the victim of his money and interfered with his ability to function normally. The symptoms could be detected only by per- sons close to the victim. It began when the sick one spent hour after hour in places with names like Skylab, Gold Mine, and Aladdin ' s Castle. Soon, all the quarters in the house disap- peared. After a time, this person could not com- municate in the usual manner. Instead, he made explosive noises and mumbled such things as, I must get the high score or I have to get an ex- tra man before I am destroyed. Students spent hundreds of hours and quarters on arcade games.

The job of a lifeguard was more than guarding young lives. It included giving swim lessons to pupils of all sizes, shapes, and ages. The lifeguards taught swimming students from one month to 76 years of age. Sophomore Todd Bate described his favorite aspect of lifegiiarding as the personal satisfac- tion of seeing kids improve their swimming skills and knowing I had something to do with it. The lifeguards put in long hours during the summer as they worked from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m with an hour off for both lunch and supper. They spent their precious summer days giving lessons and guarding during open swim times. Not just anybody had the qualifications to be a lifeguard. A lifeguard must have had an ad- vanced lifesaving card and must have been cer- tified in CPR. In addition to these stiff re- quirements, the lifeguards were evaluated every six weeks by the parents of the young swimming students. Referring to giving swim lessons, Mr. Dennis Chambers, Pool Director, said, Our guards have been super! Cheri Decker, senior, believed the hard work and long hours were worthwhile. Cheri explain- ed, I like starting with a really scared little kid and watching how much he or she improves by the end of the lessons. It is especially nice when they give me a hug or a kiss on the cheek and say, ' Thanks, teacher! ' V. iSjS K 18 Lifeguards ■ ' Take off.

N Munchin ' by the Bunch Parties, ball games, and after-school activities would not have been complete without munch- ies. Most gatherings, large or small, whatever the reason, included something to munch. Why was munching such a significant part of life? Lack of anything better to do, was the common response. For instance, after being snowed in for one solid week and after exhausting all other avenues, many felt that the only thing left to do was eat and eat and eat. Watching television was another automatic cue to head for the munchies. What else could one do while watching his favorite program, but eat! Students found it terribly hard to concen- trate on homework and knitting took con- siderable energy. Eating seemed to be the only option. Besides, it was difficult to control those munchy attacks when 80 percent of the commer- cials flashed such things as Big Macs, Snickers Bars, and Orville Redenbacher ' s Famous Pop- ping Corn. Pretzels, potato chips, Doritos, popcorn, M M ' s, crackers, peanuts, and candy bars were some of the popular munchies. These yummy Time out for munchies. Tina Gray and Trudie Bauermeister take a break from the routine and escape to the locker room to eat Doritos. foods tempted young and old alike. Students sometimes forfeited meals with im- portant nutrients because munchies appeared more appealing and fun to eat. As one filled up on snacks, his appetite for garden vegetables and fresh fruit decreased. Students devoured munchies with no regret until sayings such as ' Those who indulge, bulge crept into the mind. This reminder of the effects of munchies seemed to dampen the spirit, but only for a moment. Soon all memory of the words faded, and most folks went back to the junk food and fattening treats. How could anyone have survived those long monotonous days without the anticipation of a handful of Doritos, a bowl of ice cream, or a pounder bag of M M ' s as a reward at the close of the day? If it were not for the promise of dessert at the end of a meal, what would have been the motivation for cleaning up one ' s plate? Throughout the year, food, friends, and fun was a winning combination. Whether a get- together was a couple or a group of 200, munch- ies made it better. Munchies 21 The UnexplQinoble Experience pV   Fun, exciting, zany, hysterical, wild, different, awesome, informative, appealing, interesting, exhilarating, and refreshing were adjectives that students used to describe Campus Life. Every Thursday night at 7:17 fifty to sixty kids packed into the living room of unsuspecting parents of a Campus Lifer. Those who attended the meetings anticipated lots of fun, food, and folly, and they were not disappointed. An average Campus Life meeting began with crowd breakers, otherwise known as crazy antics. They consisted of skits, group games, con- tests, and singing. After everyone settled down. Lifers had lively discussions on many topics, such as peer pressure, competition, honesty, dating, and friendship. Refreshments and con- versation followed the group discussion. Besides the weekly meetings. Campus Life organized other events. Norwell Campus Life participated with other area Campus Life clubs in activities such as the Riot in the Park, which was an afternoon of competition. In one of the events, each team was given a 40-pound ice block, and the first team to melt it using their body heat won. It was a riot ! Breakaway was a three-evening event held at South Side High School involving kids from eleven Fort Wayne high schools. Breakaway gave kids a chance to break from the routine and enjoy skits, crazy songs, a speaker, and the Lin- dy Hearne Band. About 150 Norwell students took advantage of this welcome break from the grind. During spring break. Campus Life members went to Florida. The trip included fun on Daytona Beach, water skiing on a private lake, snorkeling at a fresh water spring, sharing a sleeping bag with cockroaches, and spending a day with Mickey at Disney World. Other events throughout the year were skating parties, a weekend ski trip, and a New Year ' s Eve Lock-Inn at the Marriott. Freshman Mechelle Frauhiger said Campus Life helped her to get to know people better and to be more open. Campus Life provided opportunities to get acquainted with people with similar interests. It also allowed students to ex- press feelings and needs. Campus Life can ' t really be explained; it has to be experienced. Three-fourths of my best memories have something to do with Campus Life.

The prom allowed ordinary high school students to be transformed into sophisticated ladies and gentlemen for an evening. The cool, spring, moonlit night set a romantic mood. The walks in the court yard, the slow dances to the soft music, and the whispered secrets from an attractive companion con- tributed to the romance of the event. Girls dressed in ruffles and lace, guys in stylish tuxes, a toast with champagne glasses, and a ballroom with the lights turned low made for an elegant atmosphere. One could almost feel the elegance. The girls walked with more grace as the guys opened doors and helped their dates with their chairs. From the start, the evening was destined to be funfilled. Surrounded by close friends, dancing to fast music, and being with someone special added the important element of fun. As 187 students and their dates entered the Marriott ' s ballroom, sophomore ushers waited to show the guests to their seats. The ushers were Shawn Sliger, Carla Crane, Kevin Morris, and Debbie Meek. While couples were being seated and chatting with those around them, the waitresses were fill- ing champagne glasses with ginger ale. When everyone was seated, Darrin Byrd, junior class president, gave the welcome and made a toast to the seniors. Then, Shelli Burton, senior class president, made a toast to the juniors thanking them for the work they had done in preparation for the prom. Following the invocation by Juli Bowman, the meal was served. After the meal was over, and before the danc- ing began, the couples took advantage of the beautiful evening to stroll in the court yard. Charlie Adams snapped couples ' pictures, which served as a souvenir of the evening. The time had come for the crowning of the prom king and queen. Jenny Cupp and Todd Mahnensmith were named as the royal couple. They began the dancing with a solo slow dance. Later, when Jenny expressed her feelings about being chosen queen, she said, I was shocked! I was not expecting it. The dancing continued throughout the evening. The chaperones, junior and senior class sponsors, observed and some ventured on to the dance floor. Other adults in attendance were those of the administration. Mr. Steve Stanton, assistant principal, said, It is really pleasant for us to see the kids looking sharp. They look so much more mature. Couples began departing at 10 o ' clock, and slowly the crowded ballroom empded. The couples headed for parties, bowling or a movie. The morning after prom those who attended reflected on the evening ' s festivities, and they realized it was the unique combination of romance, elegance, and fun that made the prom memorable.

Preparations had begun many months prior to the ceremony. For 203 seniors the anticipation had started four years eariier. However, the day had arrived when Norwell ' s largest class graduated. An hour before commencement, graduates had begun gathering in the commons to take pic- tures, give gifts, and exchange farewells. Mean- while, members of the brass ensemble and chorale warmed up their instruments and voices. The graduates found their assigned seats in the auditorium where the sound of excited chat- ter filled the air. No one said it. No one had to say it, but everyone knew that this was the last time the class of ' 82 would be together . . . laughing . . . talking . . . sharing. Senior sponsors gave the orders and the grads formed two lines outside the gym. As the band played Pomp and Circumstance, the tradi- tional melody rang out and the processional began. Each graduate entered the gym with a feeling of accomplishment as well as humility. When the graduates reached their seats. Senior Class President Shelli Burton gave the invocation. Then the 43 graduates making up the senior chorale sang You ' ll Never Walk Alone. The selection was directed by Mrs. Kim Durr and accompanied by Mr. Richard Saucedo and Junior Julie Bowman. In the salutatory address, Kent Somers had his audience picture an old man who visits his alma mater. Looking through the aged eyes of the man, Kent described the memories as he saw Happy are those who graduate. Tami Bate shares an amus- ing thought with Patrick Confer amidst pre- commencement hubbub. them.

Valedictorian Jennifer Beckman provided words of wisdom for the future. She challenged her classmates to pursue their goals in spite of obstacles they might face. Moments to Remember, the slide presenta- tion, depicted the high school days of the class of ' 82. As the slides flashed, the grads laughed and remembered the fun, the struggle, and the unity they experienced. The time came to receive the diplomas. Each senior filed onto the stage to get his or her diploma from Mr. John McBride, superinten- dent. After all had returned to their seats Mr. Lex Dormire presented the graduates of 1982. The class sang the alma mater written as a gift from the clasS in hopes that it would become a Norwell tradition. Reverend Donald Crellin of the First Baptist Church gave the benediction after which the graduates left the gym to Fanfare and Recessional. Once in the hall, there was excitement, emo- tion, and energy. The graduates hurried to turn in caps and gowns so they could attend celebra- tions given in their honor. As each one left he knew in his heart that if he could imagine it, he could achieve it, and if he could dream it, he could become it. Words of inspiration.

What would high school life have been like without the aspect of dating? What would one have done on weekends? What would a male student have done with all his extra cash? Dates were important. Those who were for- tunate enough to have an occasional date were elated for the entire week before, and it was all they talked about for the whole week after. Those who did not date wondered why no one ever asked or why they were turned down when they did the asking. They began to question their worth and acceptability. Why was dating so important? A survey taken of one third of the student body revealed the answers. A senior who dated on a steady basis, one or more times a week, said that dating was impor- tant because it provided security. A sophomore preferred dating steadily to dating around. The student felt dating helped a person to gain maturity and a better understanding of the opposite sex. One senior girl gave as her reason for dating to have companionship and to understand another person ' s needs and wants. Those who took the survey were asked to mark the three most important characteristics in a dating partner. The number one choice was Lunchtime buddies. Scott Hoffacker and Lindy Ely sit in the commons as they spend their lunch period together. personality. In grades ten, eleven, and twelve the second most marked characteristic was honesty and openness, and the third was looks. However, the second most popular choice among freshmen was looks, and the third was honesty and openness. The survey results showed that the average frequency of dating among upper classmen was once or twice a month. The average for freshmen seemed to be once every three to eleven months. Of those in grades ten through twelve, 10 per- cent had never had a date, and 21 percent of the freshmen had never dated. There are many who testified to the fact that they survived high school without much dating activity. Some did not date or go with anyone due to their own choosing. Others had no choice, just as one who answered the survey said, Dating is not a part of my high school ex- perience because my mom won ' t let me date! When Cupid ' s arrow did strike or when com- panionship was found, school became more en- durable and far more interesting than before. A walk down the halls made it evident that dating was an important part of the high school experience. Dance partners.

Brass Impacters worked hard to set up for their big performance but Kay Ann Rogers felt that All the hard work is worth it because of the self-satisfaction and crowd response. The crowd too felt that Brass Impact was greatly ap- preciated. Their spirit, like the time they dressed up in togas, helped us to get en- thusiastic about the game, said Jenny Lepper.

Chamber Singers were in every sense a select group. Each person was selected by audition and each perform- ance featured selections that were unusual as well as beautiful. This musical ensemble presented two ma- jor series of programs. The Singers appeared at three locations during their Weekend Tour on December 4, 5, and 6. St. Mark ' s Lutheran Church and United Brethren in Christ Church hosted the group on Friday and Saturday eve nings and on that Sunday- afternoon, the musical Minstrels performed at Goeglein ' s Barn. The highlight of the season was the Feaste, which was presented in the cafeteria on December 12 and 13. The plain old ordinary cafeteria was con ' erted into a 16th century Elizabethan dining hall, and the Singers were elegant, wearing authentic reproductions of beautiful gowns and robes of the English nobility at the time of the Renaissance. Wenches and pages served the seven-course feast as the musicians provided the au- dience with a variety of 16th| century songs and general merry-making. The true meaning of Christmas.

The four girls crowned princesses were Terri Troxel, freshman, Carla Crane, sophomore, Linda Ely, junior, and Julia Dian, senior. Angie Binkley was crowned queen. To bring a little sunshine to the retirement homes, the Sunshine girls Christmas- caroled their way into the aged ' s hearts. Just as the sun helps the flowers to grow, the Sunshine Society contributes to the growth of Riley Hospital. $600 was raised and donated. Another $125 was raised by penny queen votes during Sunshine week. This will send a handicapped child to Camp Riley for one week. Penny Queen was Alice Bradley. The girls sponsored a sweetheart dance after the Southern Wells basketball game for their Valentine activity.

It ' s cold, damp, and foggy. ' Suddenly you become very thirsty and hungry and you I look around for the nearest concession stand. When you get to the stand you find a group of people who are busily serving to keep your hunger satisfied. You ask Who is that group of peo- ple? That group is Hi- Y. Hi-Y is a service club that was at one time a nationally chartered club affiliated with the YMCA. So you ask What does Hi-Y do with the money they make at the games? The club donates annually to the Student Council ' s Christmas collection. They also pur- chased a display case for the music and vocations areas. Hi-Y changed in a couple of ways over the years. Girls became a part of the club by necessity and a new award was established — The Most Outstanding Hi-Y Member. To be eligible for this award a person had to be an active member for at least three years. The winners of this award were Mark Warthman and Glen Werling.

Three FFA stairs to receive well deserved memoers make the trek up the awards. FFA without contests is like a team without players FUTURE IS HERE NOW For many FFA members, the Future was not in the future, but in the present, as the chapter progressed through a busy and rewarding year. The Livestock judging Team par- ticipated in county contests, and one member, Mike Witte, went on to district con- test, after he placed fifth in county competition. The Dairy Team had an outstanding year as they took tenth in the district judging contest. One member of this team, Beth Borne, placed third highest Individual in the county match. Mr. Mark Werner, FFA adviser, explained how dif- ficult the judging contests were. He said that each member must place a set of four animals, and then pre- sent a set of reasons on why they plac ed them the way they did. The livestock team placed sheep, hogs, and beef animals. After a good year, the FFA ' ers planned a hog roast during the summer. Two members also planned to at- tend state convention.

These words strike fear In the hearts of some teachers and thoughts of fun and reward- ing times in the hearts of other teachers. Many persons on the facul- ty and staff volunteer to take on the sponsorship of a club, because this role gives them an opportunit ' to be around their students in a much more relaxed and casual at- mosphere. The personal rewards, according to some teachers, are many. They have a chance to become good friends with some students, and the students also appreciate the time spent with a teacher who can also act as a friend, and not as a disciplinarian. Every situation has its other side, however, and this is certainly true of club spon- sorship. Some teachers see their club activities as time that they should be or need to be spending with their own families. Hard work and late hours they don ' t mind as much as the time they do not see their own homes or families! The good times, personal contact with the students, and meaningful personal rewards, however, far outweigh the disadvantages in the opinion of most teachers. After all, their job ' s entire purpose is to help and influence students in the most positive way possible. Maybe if I published the newspaper There ' s more than one way to clean in German?

On September 25, Thes- pians Troupe 2379 presented four sketches, Backstage Entrance, Week-end Update 2, Cone Encounters, and Samarai TV Repair Man, from the TV comedy Satur- day Night Live, to the stu- dent body. The next play was A Company of Wayward Saints, a two-act comedy written by George Herman. Thespians performed this unusual dramatic piece for the public on November 13, 14, and 15. Mr. Craig Munk, director of drama at East No- ble High School, reviewed the production for the In- diana State Thespian Con- ference which was held at Connersville, Indiana, April 16-18. In the spring, the troupe opened the auditorium doors to the public again for three one-acts. Of the three shows, Beautiful Beulah Belle was taken to the International Theatre Arts Conference which was held at Ball State University, June 22-28. Mrs. Mabel White was Thespian sponsor.

David Bell covers the eyes of Gigi Delgado (on left) and Brad Gerber (on right). Let ' s Get Musical Support . . . That ' s what made Anything Goes the memorable event that it was. Support from the students . . . over 60 people auditioned for the show ' s leading and choral parts. Support from the faculty . . . the production staff, led by Mrs. Kim Durr, consisted of 13 faculty members who gave many ex- tra hours in addition to their already busy teaching and sponsoring schedules. Sup- port from parents . . . who chauffeured their kids back and forth to rehearsals, helped with lines and were there opening night for their opening Knights! Support from the . . . community, who turned out in record numbers to see a bright, shining, rollicking production of the 1930 ' s Cole Porter hit show. Opening night ... all that support paid off. The over- ture started and as the cur- tain rose, the stage filled with excited passengers and sailors and sailorettes. The entire action of the play took place aboard ship, and in- volved such diverse characters as the notorious Reno Sweeney (Dana Sadler), Billy Crocker (Joe Welches), Moonface Martin (Jeff Binkley), his bouncy lit- tle girlfriend Bonnie (Cheryl Crellin), the poor little rich girl, Hope Harcourt (Pam Barger), and Sir Evelyn (Mike Hilsmier). The plot, the characters, the chorus, and the audience eventually all got tangled up in the merry plot of disguises, love affairs, and best of all, happy endings Jor everyone! The majority of the direc- ting and coordinating of all the production and rehear- sals fell on the shoulders of Mrs. Durr, who commented that she really did the whole job for the kids, so they could take part in something so special, something they would always remember and be proud of. Mrs. Marlyn Koons served as Drama Director and Mr. Richard Saucedo directed the or- chestra. The credit, however, belonged to the many students who so en- thusiastically worked so hard on this highlight of the music season. Anything Goes ran for three nights, April 1, 2, and 3.

Student Council members swarmed together during homerooms to discuss ar- rangements for upcoming activities. Homecoming was a major undertaking for the council. They spent many hours pro- viding the float for the royal court, and members were also responsible for prepara- tions for the after-game dance. I Student Council provided the winning homerooms of each class a McDonald breakfast on December 18, for collecting money for the Christmas Fund. Student Council collected a total of $1566.96 for six needy families. Christmas Fund is a neat way to help needy families have a nicer holiday, and get the student body to work together on a project, stated Cheryl Crellin. On February 12, Student Council distributed 172 car- nations for Valentines Day from secret admirers, friends, and sweethearts. In special recognition of the athletes. Student Council served cake and ice cream to the student body several times during the year at lunch time. Student Council members exchanged schools with fellow council members from Marion High School on March 19 and April 16.

Seniors in- itiated were: Pamela Barger, Tami Bate, Shelli Burton, Jay Gearhart, Susan Hadley, David Johnson, Robin Kling, Marcie Lacy, Colleen Lund, Chipp Mann, Kay Ann Rogers. Juniors: Trudie Bauermeister, Juli Bowman, Bonnie Bryant, Jill Dale, Dawn Denney, Carl Dippel, Linda Dunwiddie, Amy Ellerman, Linda Ely, Brian Erxleben, Doug Fiechter, Sandra Flum, Gala Gerber, Tina Gray, Michael Hilsmier, Julie Leeth, Michael Lewis, Trent McBride, Karen Neuenschwander, Lisa Osborn, Laura Parker, Scott Reef, Nancy Schuerenberg, Kelly Scott, Marcia Smith, Jeff Stove, Lance Tillman, Kim Wegman, Michael Yaney. New members received pins and membership cards for their effort. The requirements are an 8.5 grade point average for seniors and a 9 point for juniors. Of course, qualities such as character, leadership, and service are leading fac- tors. Sponsor, Steve Yager said, the scoring is a 5 part system. Teachers vote as a department, only if they ' ve had that student in class, and this voting is done on a 12 point scale. There is a total of 47V2 points possible. To con- clude this total the GPA is doubled and the additional department votes are added together. An Honors Banquet was held on April 21 to recognize those students making B club or high honor for the 9 weeks or semester. The Swing Set entertained the honorees and their parents and NHS members served refresh- ments in the cafeteria. New Members.

These students are faced with high [expectations and extremely high stan- |dards set by upperclassmen, as they are becoming prepared for the progressive isystem through high school. It really isn ' t easy being a freshman. [First of all, these students have to take Ian almost all required course schedule. This schedule includes one English, math, science and a physical [education course. Further years will bring a freshman the opportunity to ac- [quire courses he may really like. I The constant pushing, tripping and [name calling are many negative events [some freshmen may encounter. It real- ly doesn ' t bother me because when the freshmen become seniors, some of them will probably tease the new freshmen, said Mary Anne Oakes. Freshmen are not only tested for scholastic ability, but for many, special capabilities are defined through ap- titude testing. Early in the academic school year, they engaged in an all-day Science Research Association (SRA) achievement testing session. The testing was conducted to see how much the students have learned over the past years. Although it ' s tough, and sometimes seemingly unbearable, to be a freshman, many personal joys and meaningful events are contained within this year. These students were finally allowed to participate in the Junior Olympics and Homecoming events. The freshmen can also tell others that they are now in high school, and when the second semester rolls around, they can say that they have only four months un- til they are sophomores. The freshman year should never be stereotyped as an unimportant year. If a student would like to become a Na- tional Honor Society member, he must acquire good grades in his freshman year as well as the remaining three years to become eligible. Freshmen are also encouraged to participate on athletic teams with the intent of attain- ing honors as upperclassmen. The fresh man year may be simply expressed as a preparatory year for later achievements. With a little help. Donald Bradley finds helpful information in the NHS code book during freshman orientation.

A dull, icy wind spanned across the countryside of Wells Count ' . The Stars were twinkl- ing across the skies as contestants were settling in the bleachers on the north end of the football field. The expectations were high, for the seniors were running away with the Homecoming class competition. The other classes were anxiously waiting for the seniors to give a little bit, allowing a come-from-behind victon, ' . Strained muscles, cries for joy, and a curtain of tension blanketed the field as the events wore on. The sophomores seized many a Homecoming point by not accepting anything lower than a second place from the start of the Junior Olympics on. Sophomore contestants Lex Hunter and Amy George raced through the obstacle course for a se- cond place by tip-toeing through tires, jumping jump ropes, and dodg- ing pylons. They were followed by the sophomore inchworm team that flopped across the finish line with the freshmen, tying for first place. Leaving all others pedaling in vain, Bryant Lambert and Rejena Garner raced to a first place tie in the tricycle race. As the contestants flexed their muscles and exercised their hands, the tug-of-war got under way. The sophomore girls ' team defeated the freshmen, but lost to the juniors in the final heat. The boys ' team also beat the freshmen, but were pushed into second by their senior com- petitors. The ameoba race also ended with the sophomores in second. A chance for the girls to get physical and play football came dur- ing the closing event. The sophomore team quarterbacked by Amy George pranced up and down the field mat- ching wits against the freshmen in a scoreless game. That following Friday, the sophomores ' skit placed an easy first as the juniors and seniors came up with last-minute scripts. Based on the fairy tale of Snow White, the sophs altered the story a little and added a Bluffton Tiger for the wicked witch and Snow Knight for Snow White. Dedicated to leff Ellis, the sophomore wall also received top honors at the pep session. With this announcement, the sophomores began chanting their class cheer. The sophomores had clinched the class Homecoming title. I was happy that everyone pitched Clark Henkel prepares to save Snovi ' Knight (Julie Hedges) from the Bluffton Tiger (Mindy Osborn) who is watching in the background.

Whether it was drawing arcs and dots in Geometry, roasting chemicals in Chemistry I, or typing a term paper in Typing I, the Class of ' 84 pushed their brains to the limit in all sorts of fields ranging from Algebra to welding. Answers to technical questions as How many lines can be drawn through Dot A on Place C? were pondered in Geometry, a class that focused on the study of triangles and the relationship between one geometric figure to another and the practical applications they have to everyday life, according to Mr. Ted Waters, who taught the class.

This is your prom night. Romance and excitement abound on this memorable evening, and although the whole event seemed like something out of a fairy tale, the food, music, and decorations did not appear by magic. Someone had to make the plans and then make sure every detail was carried out. I was proud to think that I played such an important part in everything and seeing that everything got done, said Scott Herndon, who served on the band, pr ogram, and decorating commit- tee. I hked it (the prom), he went on to say. Whitehawk was the band that provid- ed the music for the prom, which was held at the Marriott Inn for the second year in a row. Whitehawk played everything from rock-n-roll to slow songs for the couples at the prom. I thought that the Marriott was a neat place for the prom, said Beth Wallis. It made the prom even more sophisticated, she said. Looking through the eyes of love was selected as the theme for the prom by the juniors with the logo being an embracing couple bathed in moonlight. In order to offset the costs of the prom, the juniors held the annual junior candy sale. Members of the Class of ' 83 peddled candy bars around the com- munity for the needed funds. Sweet success in candy sales fattened the juniors ' class treasury enough that they were financially able to throw this year ' s prom.

It was characterized by a gnawing sensation that lay in the pit of the stomach, tension headaches, and ex- tensive anxiety. A severe disorder, SAT phobia was brought on by the long lists of terms given to high school juniors on May 1 in the form of the Scholastic Ap- titude Test (SAT), which, according to Guidance Counselor Laura Bergoff, gives the colleges a standard by which to judge your knowledge. Knowing that the scores from the SAT will follow the SAT phobia victim throughout life made the symptoms of SAT phobia even worse, according to most juniors. The quarentine areas for all bearers of SAT phobia were South Side, Bell- mont, and Bluffton High Schools. At these sites, the infected students were gathered at 8 a.m. In hopes of recover- ing. Like the common cold, the only cure for SAT phobia was time itself. The nerves passed after 15 minutes, stated Carl Dippel. Some people say it (the SAT) is hard, but it ' s worth the ef- fort. It was the biggest step towards col- lege I ' ve taken, he went on to say. To take the SAT, the juniors sent an answer form filled with personal ques- tions dealing with their plans for the future. To take the test cost $10.50, and that included all booklets, forms, grading, and results sent to three col- leges of one ' s choice. Luckily, all were released from the quarantine areas in stable condition. The juniors had survived their biggest case of nerves and terms ever.

See that student over there, . . . To ensure that Norwell operates smoothly, Mr. Dormire and Assistant Principal Steve Stanton often oversee student activities. Risks and Rewards If someone would look up the word administrator in a dictionary, he or she would discover that the word ap- pears after ad-man (which is defined as one who sells ) and right before words like admirable and admiral. The latter words mean of course likeable and an officer in a navy. Somehow all these words that surround administrator do seem to appear in the dictionary at the right place, because in many ways those words describe part of what an administrator does. Anyone in the tough and difficult job of being involved in administration of a school system, whether as a principal or as a superintendent, must be part salesman, part likeable, and also part admiral of the ship of school. Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of this job was the perceptions of the people involved on the part of students. Many times a vice-principal or principal had to enforce a rule that real- ly was in the best interests of the stu- dent, although at the time, the decision seemed unfair and sometimes un- justified to the student involved. However, in a discipline situation, many times a student would later realize that the actions taken had been for his or her own good. Mr. Dormire and Mr. Stanton had a highly visible year. Most lunch periods Mr. Dormire could be found in the gym or at the door of the cafeteria. Mr. Stan- ton was at his post somewhere in the front hall or in the lunch room, keeping an eye on things, specifically the possibility of flying food! The primary responsibilities of the administration, however, were to ensure the best possible educational and social environment for all the students at all times during and after school hours. The staff also put in many extra hours during after-class school activities and somehow managed to find the time to attend all the major school functions, such as plays, athletic events, and Christmas programs. According to Mr. Steve Stanton, assis- tant principal, the job was exciting, frustrating, tiring, and very rewarding. 82 Administration Guidance Counselor Mrs. Laura Berghoff works with and for the NHS students.

Teaching: triumphs and tribulations How do you survive the everyday school hassels? Mrs. Joyce Buzzard, English teacher: I try to remember that most of the students ' remarks are not personal. Also, I plan my schedule a week in ad- vance and I try to follow this plan. Mr. Jerry Lewis, government teacher: I enjoy being around young people and I find teaching and coaching to be very rewarding. Mr. Howard Williams, business teacher: Teachers will always have people who will disagree with them, so I usually try to work out a compromise with the student. Although I don ' t want to be a dictator, sometimes I have to. What is the main problem you usuaJiy encounter from students? Mrs. Buzzard: Some students are disrespectful to other ' s ideas or personal property. I don ' t like to listen to harsh or vile language. Mr. Lewis: Lack of motivation. I find that some stude nts fail to work to their best ability. Mr. Williams: In some of my classes, the students talk a lot, while in others, the students don ' t like to work. I feel that those are the two biggest problems I encounter. Is teaching reaJJy what you had ex- pected it to be? Mrs. Buzzard: Yes. With all its prob- lems, I enjoy working with young peo- ple. Most students enjoy school and really want to learn. Mr. Lewis: I think so. When I was very young, I wanted to teach and coach. I would probably choose the same occupation again. Mr. Williams: I ' m not really sure what I expected out of teaching. I think, however, that it has been a rewarding experience to see the students ' accomplishments. Why do you think there is a large turnover of newly hired teachers? Mrs. Buzzard: Many younger teachers do not want to become involv- ed in extra curricular activities or spend long hours studying. The salary is also greater in other fields. Mr. Lewis: I think the turnover may occur because of an economic problem. A teacher ' s salary isn ' t nearly as good as some other occupation and his income does not increase as much, either. Mr. Williams: Schools may lose a lot of new teachers to other occupations because of economic problems. The teachers may also resign because of trouble with students. After this trouble, if the teacher can start over fresh, the job may seem more pleasant. How do you view the future teaching years for yourself and new teachers? Mrs. Buzzard: I plan to continue teaching since I feel that it is one way that I can contribute to the education and character of our nation ' s youth. Life is too short to waste time doing what doesn ' t interest you. I enjoy teaching and although teachers are underpaid, the gratification is found in the lives of a few successful and appreciative students. Mr. Lewis: I plan to stay in the teaching and coaching fields. However, with the decline in student enrollment, I feel that there may be fewer teachers in the future. Mr. Williams: I plan to still be teaching because the economy will keep me here. As far as the teaching field, when the economy gets bad and you ' re in the teaching field, you ' ll have a job because as long as there are students to teach, there will always be a need for a teacher.

Miss Erin Flannery sparks up a Romeo luliet lesson on Spirit Day during Homecoming Week. No comprende! KelU Roberts seeks Mr. Mar- shall ' s help in Spanish I, while Jay Rosenfeld and Bradley Gerber wait their turn. Teacher ' s job far from 9 to 5 routine Every teacher ' s school day doesn ' t begin and end at school. Many teachers sponsor extra activities, help students with problems outside of class and still have time to plan their classroom lessons. Miss Erin Flan nery, French and English teacher, said that she spent ap- proximately four hours a night working on her classroom lessons. Mr. Peter Marshall, Spanish teacher, however, stated that he spent four hours every week day and two hours a day on weekends on class material. Mr. Jay McGee, history teacher, felt that he alloted about two hours every night to planning and grading his assignments. These teachers all commented that, despite their school work load, they still found leisure time. I find, on an average, one or two hours for reading which I consider my leisure time, said Mr. Marshall. To avoid a pile-up of work, these teachers said that they always tried to plan all classroom lessons one week in advance. Miss Flannery stated that if it wasn ' t feasible to plan the one-week in advance schedule, she would always plan it on a two day at a time basis. Many students complain that they receive too much homework, but those complaining students don ' t consider how much work a teacher must take home every night. Whenever a student has homework, a teacher has homework, said Mr. McGee. Accord- ing to Mr. Marshall, a teacher makes as much homework for himself as he chooses. I try to use supplementary material to enhance the studies, replied Miss Flannery, in regards to her teaching technique. I also bring in outside material, such as literature from my col- lege days. Mr. Marshall commented that a teacher must teach what he likes. He also feels that the teacher must motivate his students to like the course by increasing their natural curiosity. Mr. McGee usually teaches through lec- tures, work sheets, and he tries to add variety to his lessons with filmstrips, current event articles or outside reading assignments. I think my teaching method is the best for me because stick- ing straight to the books may become boring. My method makes teaching and learning interesting, said Miss Flannerv. I like to sponsor extra activities because I get the opportunity to work with the students out of class and I can see a different side of the students, replied Mr. Marshall. Miss Flannery feels that it is very important for the teachers to get involved in the extra ac- tivities because it decreases the distant feelings between the teacher and the student. She also feels that if every teacher would participate in sponsoring, it would relieve the enormous respon- sibility of other active teacher participants. Why do individuals choose to teach? I had a teacher that I admired in high school and I decided that I wanted to be a teacher. It ' s kind of a noble profes- sion, said Mr. Marshall. A lot of my family members are teachers and it ' s what I ' ve always wanted to do. When I can teach a per- son something that I know, I feel good, replied Miss Flannery. I like students and I like to learn new things, stated Mr. McGee. A teacher can contribute much to the community because of his ability to teach and his knowledge of specific sub- jects, said Mr. Marshall. Faculty 87 May I help you?

Student Secretaries Was Nine to Five Ever Like This? What type of job pays no money, has no benefits, and has at least 35 different bosses to please? What other job in this world also requires that the employee also carry a full class load, maintain good grades, always be cheerful, always on time, always neat, always know where everything is, and what each teacher ' s prep period is, and who orders the supplies for all the offices? The suc- cessful person for this unreal-sounding job must also be able to answer strange questions (usually from teachers), answer the telephone, and cut a stencil, all at the same time, of course! The impossible job described did ap- ply to some very loyal and hardworking Knights — the student secretaries. Specific duties and responsibilities varied from department to department and from day to day! Usually one per- son was assigned each day at a certain period to work in a specific office. One of the difficult aspects of this job was that in some departments many teachers might need tes t or quizzes all typed, copied, stapled, and sometimes graded, all within just a few days ' time. The job wasn ' t all endless hours of grueling work, however. Being a student secretary gave many of these persons a chance to develop their office skills in a setting close to that of an actual job. Another benefit was that the secretarial staff had an opportunity to become friends with many of the teachers and to see another side of the job of teaching. All in all, the student secretaries con- tributed a great deal to the school and at the same time grew both personally and professionally. The office student secretaries are Kim Kaufman, Sheila Settle, Laurie Cummins, Penny Oshorn, Kris McBride, Sharon Morris and Lynn Gerber. Student Secretaries 89 Locker picker.

Unnoticed by the many passersby, but deeply appreciated by all. These few lines may well describe an average work day for a Norwell custo- dian. Not only were they employed to provide cleanliness for the school, but their job entailed many diverse responsibilities. When students needed their lockers fixed, the custodian was there to help. Also, if a desk or any other school equipment was broken, the custodian restored the item to its original status. The custodians were constantly work- ing for the school ' s attendants. They cleaned up such large projects as the Homecoming wall decorations after the judging took place, as well as helping to move the tables and chairs back into the cafeteria after school dances. Another major task a custodian must perform, was mowing the lawn. This job entailed mowing from the highway to back behind the baseball field, and was nearly a full day ' s work. Many students praised a blizzard ' s ar- rival during the winter months. However, it ' s the custodian who removed the snow from the parking lots and side walks in zero weather in order to ensure the school attendants ' safety. When the end of May appeared, students, faculty and administrative members were eager to be released for the summer. The custodians, however, came in during most of the summer and cleaned up the classrooms and other parts of the school for the following year. Many people may tend to take the custodians for granted, but without their service, Norwell wouldn ' t have been a fit place to attend, as far as appearance. Also, most of the custodians were will- ing to talk and get to know the school ' s students. It may be the ordinary custodian ' s job to just clean and make the school look well, but it was the dedication that enabled the custodians to become so special and an asset to the school.

Marlene Martin gets the milkshake machine ready for the students ' lunch hour. Fish, Fries, Fun, and Friends The aroma of fish, french fries, and vegetables filtered through the halls, as many students studied. Over the stillness, several mmm ' s were heard, as an indication of pleasure to what was being prepared. In the cafeteria, the cooks were busily putting the finishing touches on the ar- rangement of food. The hour was here: lunch time. As the students filed into the cafeteria, several complaints were heard about the way the food was serv- ed and what food was being served. Toward the end of the hour, impatience stirred within each cook. Another day ' s work was nearing its end. The hardworking cafeteria workers deserved high marks for a job well-done throughout the year. It was a very dif- ficult task to please all of the people all of the time. However, even though the food budget was tighter this year, the cooks still managed to provide fairly popular meals. The cooks were not only subject to uncomplimentary remarks concerning the food, but they also faced the possibility of students throwing food at each other. Sure, to the student, it seemd fun to take aim at an enemy or even a friend, but it was the cooks who must clean the orange juice stains from the walls, or scrape smashed peas from the cafeteria floor. Anyone who has worked in the kit- chen area of a restaurant knows how strenuous the job can be. Preparing what seems like endless amounts of food, washing dishes and trays over and over, plus assuring that there will be enough food to go around all add up to a tough and important job. Another complaint that was often heard was Why do we have to pay so much more money this year for our lunches than we paid last year? Infla- tion too has taken its toll on the price of food and other cafeteria necessities. Thus, there was a need to increase the price of the school lunches to cover those increased expenses. 92 Cnnks Endless dishes. Betty Johnson hurriedly prepares What goes in, must come out.

Future Possibilities Signs of graduation day kept reminding Seniors that they would soon be making an important decision, the decision of whether to attend college or go directly into the job market. Students who were not interested or could not afford to attend college could use their high school education and natural abilities to pursue an en- joyable, yet stable, occupation. Students who were ex- tremely fond of their business or shop classes might look into jobs which in- volved this type of work. Some students who had part-time jobs might have been promoted and soon began working full time. Doing volunteer work has always been a good way to experience or be involved in a certain line of work. The experience and knowledge gained may have helped in a final career decision. For some, being a member of the military was their career choice for the future. Military groups offer on the job training and additional schooling. These groups offer many other benefits to those who join. Many job opportunities are in existence today. Some jobs take additional schooling, and others rely solely on a person ' s ability to work. But no matter what choice a stu- dent made, attitude and in- itiative remained important for success in any position. rin Search Oj...- K As Graduation day drew closer, college bound students sorted through literature that selected col- leges had sent to them. The choice was hard for some, and yet others knew exactly what college they would attend, and what fields of study in which they would major. For those who were having trouble deciding, College Day made their decision a little easier. College Day gave students the opportunity to visit the college of their choice. Students could look into the benefits, classes, and extra curricular activities that college had to offer. All in all, the students were given the opportuni- ty to experience college life for a day. Many students com- mented that visiting the college made them ex- citing and eager to begin their college education. Others looked forward to the many different col- legiate activities. After visiting the colleges, they realized that many fun times are ahead. However, they found that a good education will involve much hard work. Checking out the territory.

Memories in the making Summer vacation once again had come to an end, and the school year was underway. As clubs and sports groups began to assem- ble, students realized that these activities went a lot smoother and were more en- joyable when everyone worked together. Homecoming Week was a big success, with many students participating, either in a class project or in one of the individual competitions. For some students the best part of homecoming was be- ing with that one special per- son at the many different activities. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays seemed to come early this year. The holiday vacations gave students time to get together with friends and family. They had time to go Christmas shopping, caroling, or enjoy a gift exchange. Throughout the year, students were given recogni- tion for their achievements.

Several students took trips with their families or with a school group. Spring break wasn ' t just another vacation; it signaled the near- ing end of school. During the last quarter, students helping one another study for exams was a common sight. At last the school year had ended; summer vacation had once again arrived. Seniors realized that this summer may lead them into many dif- ferent directions. Some have planned to continue their education. Others have decided to marry, work or join the service. Still the vivid memories of the past year remained strong. Lady and the sock footed bandit. Jann McAfee and Gigi Delgado are dressed to kill during the homecoming dress up competition.

Mr. Lewis explains one more time to Kirk Baumeartner where the famous islands are found. Study of Elements At the beginning of the school year, a rather frightened freshman asked a mighty upperclassman how a person was ever supposed to figure out what each science and social studies class was about. In other words, what did each of those classes do? The reply went something like this: If your experiment bites you, it ' s Biology. If it ex- plodes, it ' s Chemistry. If it doesn ' t work, it ' s Physics, and if it doesn ' t make sense, it ' s History. Maybe the last comment wasn ' t quite on the mark, but the general idea was there. Each department was a combination of many elements, and each con- tributed to the interesting and informative year that fearless Knights could experience. Such diverse elements as the local economy, flooded farmlands, and the Falkland Islands dispute blended into some meaningful discussions in the History and World Geography classes. The science department explored the elements of society ' s in- ner chemical and biological systems. There was no one single highlight to the year. Each class and each study was a continual learning-by- discovery process, said Mr. Jones, chemistry teacher. Thus the two departments combined the elements of frogs, Falklands, physics, and fun into the study of their in- ner and outer world. How did 1 know this test was going to be this bad?

How many times did a stu- dent hear that phrase, either from parents or some nagging teacher? Well, the chief ac- tivity of the Business depart- ment was getting down to business, and for these hard- working persons, this was not a negative thing to say or to do. Many students either took or majored in this area of study because every class they studied had practical use for them out on the job. Specific skills, such as typing, and bookkeeping and business machines, went directly from the school room to the work place. You figure it out yourself. Another common What a mess!

Fact and fancy The Art Department com- bined the best of everything by offering courses in both Art, where the classical and esthetic aspects were ex- plored, and Graphic Arts, in which the students could ap- |ily some of the standards of line, color, and form that they h.id learned to practical items. Many of the Graphic Arts people created beautiful, yet very ap- propriate and sometimes wearable art objects, such as stationerv, shirts, and notebooks. Art-ful people could be spotted everywhere as they were usually carrying brushes, transfers, paints, monograms, shirts, and other strange assorted supplies. Artistic Knights also eri ' joyed a reputation for being in undoubtedly the most col- orful classes, as well as maybe the sloppiest. But after the paint had dried, and the mess was cleaned up, these talented and busy folks could point with pride to beautiful and usable projects. 1l;4 Arts (jriiphic Arts Mike Connelt, Kipp Woods and Cheri Decker and Matt DeKonink Barry Schnieders take a break from smooth out the rough edges on their painting to pose. projects.

Right Directions Following directions . . . iind what disastrous results you can get if you don ' t . . . was of prime importance to those students who elected to take Home Ec or Voca- tional School classes. If a recipe or sewing instruc- tions were not adhered to, if an engine manual wasn ' t read correctly, things just wouldn ' t turn out right! However, these students also realized the impor- tance of practical knowledge and skills and worked very hard to perfect these skills. In Home Ec I, wardrobe planning, clothing selection, home furnishings, personal health and grooming, as well as food preparation and family relations were the down-to-earth studies that were available. Home Ec II tackled management skills, care of the sick, and emergency treatments. Vocational school in Fort Wa ne provided many Knights with an opportunitv ' to experience on-the-job training in technical classes of their choosing. These classes gave students to work for credit and on their career goals at the same time. So, whether following a recipe in a cookbook or a training sheet in a repair manual, these persons were headed for successful times ahead. T-bone steaks, um, ummmm.

To most people, those letters mean Learning Disability but, according to Mrs. Beverly Wilson, tney really mean Learning Differently. A visit to her classroom demonstrated the truth of her comments. Each student ' s work was set up in individual folders and each Knight here completed the assignments at his own pace. Learning was also en- joyable and fun. Some students learned the spelling lessons on a special typewriter with tapes. Math classes utilized charts, graphs, and calculators for maximum interest, skill building, and best of all, cor- rect answers! Personal study hall time was also provided when one of the students needed that extra time to prepare for an exam. Another different aspect of the learning experience here was that many different classes were going on at the same time, and yet each stu- dent worked quietly and diligently to complete the assigned work. Mrs. Wilson mentioned how important personal feel- ings and perceptions of school were to her students. The positive side of learning differently was stressed here, as negative self- concepts only make anyone ' s learning more difficult, no matter what class a person is in. Class discussions throughout the year helped each person enrolled in this program to gain a greater understanding of what their strengths really were and what learning really is. This is a neat way to learn! Kent In- gle works out a lesson on one of the reading machines. I wish they ' d make up their minds and get on with the work. Don James waits patiently for instructions.

Wi MJ Keeping alive with library Addition, multiplication, and subtraction are usually associated with math-related subjects, but these terms wandered from their usual abode and wound up in the library. During the course of the year. Head Librarian Carol Fuller added many current books. The reason for this ad- dition was so the library would have the necessary materials for assignments like term papers, according to Mrs. Fuller. The number of books checked out of the library ' s vast pool of hard and paper backs doubled. Along with this multiplication of books checked out came a rise in Library Aides. FRONT ROW: Pam Grover, Carol Fuller (librarian), Bobbi Cook. BACK ROW: AbigaU Norris, Scott Herndon, Penny Rlley, Julie James. NOT PICTURED: Trudy Jahn, Tina Gray. the number of classes scheduled for the library. Mrs. Fuller said the number of class periods slated for library leaped from last year ' s total of 180 to over 300. Subtracting from the old belief that libraries are filled with 500 page books and old librarians who peer out of wire spectacles, the library took on a new light in the students ' eyes. They looked at it as a means of improving their lessons and a place of research, not another study hall, said Mrs. Fuller. They came to the library to do research and develop the habit of reading for pleasure. Reading keeps you alive mentally. The purpose of the library is to provide materials and services to students and teachers to enhance the classroom curriculum, stated Mrs. Fuller. The library went great, claimed Mrs. Fuller. The library went beautifully. There were no write-ups for ISS, and everything went smoothly, she said. Despite the dreaded silence, most students entered the library for a pur- pose, whether it was to find information for a report, to mimeograph a magazine arti- cle, or to just check out a book.

If you guessed a great vocal music department, you were right. That was the situation with Mrs. Kim Durr leading the choir department; she remade the old choirs into something brand new. Choir I, Choir II, and Gold Choir combined with South Adams and [ay County Choirs to present the Tri- County Choral Festival, directed by a guest conduc- tor. One of the highlights of the choir season in December was the performance at the Communit - Advent Candle Lighting ceremony at 132 Choir Bluffton. Choir I got a taste of show business when they put on an energetic production of the mini-musical Teen. The student body greatly enjoyed this production. Another ex- citing event was the Large Ensemble contest at Hun- tington, in which Gold Choir, Choir II, and Swing Set all received First ratings. The biggest departmental event of the year was the Christmas concert, in which the band and choirs perform- ed music composed by Mr. Richard Saucedo. Something old, something new, and good singing com- bined to produce a truly new vear. Gold Choir. FRONT ROW: Doug Fiechter, Chervl Crellin, Kelly Burns.

Swing Set danced, sang, shouted, and generally outshone everyone in seeing and hear- ing distance, as they moved through difficult, fast-paced routines and crooned beautifully through well- sung ballads. Their season opened on a successful note when they placed third in the Bluffton Street Fair Sing Choir Invitational contest. A personal, meaningful highlight of the entire year came one night in the auditorium when the group presented a sneak preview for their parents. The true magic of that night was that Swing Set-ters sang their hearts out just as hard for their families as they did for the Bishop Luers ' Contest. The parents had a chance to critique the show, and the group members had a chance to show their families what they had been doing every day and every night for so long! It was a great season for every student who loved singing and excellent, profes- sional showmanship. Swing Set.

Building a new tradition 99 This year saw the band venture into new areas of musical expression under director, Richard Saucedo. With a firm emphasis on musicianship and strict rehearsal standards, the band set higher goals than ever before, and planned on con- tinuing to achieve those goals in the coming years. The Marching Knights began the year by receiving a First Division rating at district marching contest at Winchester, Indiana, and also captured the following awards: Best Rifles, Best Poms, and Best Flags. The ver ' next weekend the band performed in exhibition at the Norwell Invitational Field Show Contest and received excellent comments from the judges and a score of 85.00. They also won First place in Class B at the Bluff- ton Field Competition. State contest in Terre Haute saw a tremendous performance by our band as they received 7th place in Class B state cham- pionships, barely missing the night performance! Winter activities for the band included a combined Christmas concert with the choir, the highlight being the performance of Norwell Noel, a new piece of music written for the Music Depart- ment. As the band and choir performed together at the close of the concert, it was obvious to all that the new tradition had indeed begun. Winter also saw new ideas and innovations for Brass Im- pact. The band accepted a tremendous challenge as they performed all new music for this season ' s basketball crowd. Also new were the many outfits worn by the band for each game. (Yes, that was Mr. Saucedo in the Santa Suit — a skinny Santa Claus!?) In January, many band students participated in solo-ensemble contest at Wayne High School. This was another new undertak- ing for the individuals and 90% of the students received First Division . . . Is the band ready?

The Newspaper staff found themselves buried in stories and layout designs trying to find the right direction in which to go. Some other changes were that of the paper being a dif- ferent size, moving from an 11x151 2 to an 8x10 and going from a Newspaper to a News Magazine (there are no stories on the cover, just a picture). There was also an editor switch when Marcie Lacy, the original editor, left to attend college. Don Bentz filled in the position for her. Mr. Art McCord, the staff ' s new advisor kept the new changes under control. Mar- cie and Tami Bate (yearbook editor) attended journalism workshops during the sum- mer to gain new ideas and designs.

A record- breaking 70 inches of white sloshy snow fell upon the In- diana region, making it dif- ficult to go to work, sports or community- activities, or bet- ter yet school, some thought. Although ten days out of school was pleasant, the ex- tra assignments and tests in- volving two or three chapters at a time weren ' t. After hours of shoveling and days of play, the weather began to break and become somewhat warmer. A little warmth and a lot of snow mixes really well, well enough to cause the St. Marys, Maumee and St. Joseph rivers to crest at 25 feet, flooding the cit ' of Fort Wayne. Area businesses were out for a long lunch break, while residents relocated either with relatives or friends or stayed in Red Cross shelters all around the city. Over 1,000 people spent days and nights at Fort Wayne ' s coliseum to fill sandbags. President Ronald Reagan flew to Fort Wayne to survey the area, which he later proclaimed a disaster area. Once the water problem was under control the warm windy, wet season came, bringing tornados, destroying a barn and ruining local business signs. From snow to water, wind and destruction we didn ' t think the bad weather would ever end, but when it finally did stop, it had caused millions of dollars worth of damages and a lot of cram- ming for studies.

They must also have a sense of sportsmanship and fairness. Especially, cheerleaders must be spirit boosters, pep rally organizers, and leaders of the crowd. During the summer the cheerleaders attended camp at Ball State Univer- sity. All three squads received top honors, win- ning all superior ratings and bringing home the Spirit Stick. Varsity squad was one of the top five squads to win NCA Awards of Excellence. For the first time, this year the freshman squad joined the varsity and junior varsity squads at camp. The junior varsity and varsity squads saw some changes at semester.

Well, it was good old Will Shakespeare that said, The play ' s the thing, and the many plays that made up the sporting events on the courts, tracks and fields would not have hap- pened without the help and assistance of that group of dedicated per- sons known as managers and statisticians. Just as a play couldn ' t go on without the stagehands, prop people, makeup crew, and set designers, many sports that added so much to a meaningful school year couldn ' t get off the ground or on the field unless the managers did their jobs and the stats people were at their posts. I like being part of the team standing out on the sidelines with the guys, said Joe Rice. He ' s just another part of the production. Some of the jobs that they do are taking care of uniforms and towels, fill- ing water bottles, keeping statistics, timing whirpools and checking and working on the different field for play. The phrase playtime had an entirely different meaning for this group of Knights who were the backup group for the stars of the seasons. But even though their play time was a work time, they willingly and with a lot of school spirit made sure that the plays were the thing indeed! Statisticians.

Every day, without fail, I had to carry my employer through hill and dale, rain or shine. The contract I signed in August was sketchy. True, it did say excessive running would be required for this job, but how did I know run- ning miles and miles a day was written between the lines? One had to feed their children, so I hung on. I watched this team start out, practice until their bodies were too sore to move, and evolve into a state- ranked group with high ex- pectations. As Shawn Baxter said, Our biggest goal was to make state and win it. They made it to state, placing 15tn in the finals. We body parts really felt the toils of the hard work. I ' ll never forget some of the com- ments I heard my fellow workers gasp after they cross- ed the finish line. Lann ' Tillman ' s body yelped Why? while Shawn ' s wanted something to hold onto. The price of success, huh? Success was the key word with this group and the price they paid was worth it, ac- cording to John Schnieders. Coach Bob Milton felt his team was good. They were young men ready to work and meet the challenges only cross country can present. Blisters are the worst thing that could happen to a foot. We feet like blisters as much as you humans like ulcers, and when you garner 4,382 like ]ohn did, you often wonder why you stay with. However, the feeling you got when you crossed the finish line and knew that you had done it again, you knew why, said John. ri Cross Country Team.

Only half swiped the pigskin Cold and rainy nights spent trying to run a pigskin to our side of the field. That ' s what 57 hard working guys had in mind when they decided to go out for this year ' s football team. They tried to get ahead by doing some weightlifting all summer long, to stay in shape and according to Coach Gary Scott, the attendance was excellent. Expecting a terrific season the preseason practices met every day but Sunday. When the season started, practice was held every day, even Saturday morning meetings were organized to talk over Friday night ' s game and get everything off to a fresh new week on Monday. There were a lot of injuries and sickness within the team. Fourteen players were out with illness, thought to be encephalitis. Coach Scott said, there were more out than I ' ve ever seen on any one team. ' ' Todd Mahnensmith and Rick Hoopingarner, both seniors, were out with injuries and Neal Worden, senior, was out sick. All three of these players were from the backfield. We had a lot of trouble with the backfield, said Scott. According to Coach Scott, the team fell short of any ma- jor accomplishments even though they ended the season evenly five wins and five losses. After coming out of a winn- ing season last year. Coach Scott said, It makes it tougher to accept this year. With not many returning let- termen. Coach Scott is hoping for a little help from the Reserve and freshman teams next year. The highlight of the season was the Bluffton Homecom- ing game. It was a real fight for the Knights to hold their title domination over the Tigers. However, Norwell was triumphant, 10-0. Even with the disappoint- ing season many players were chosen for special honors. Seniors Neal Worden and Kent Somers were selected to the first team ACAC All Con- ference squad. Seniors Jack McGlone, Cliff Watson and junior Dave Worthman were chosen for honorable mention. The reserve team had a 6-2 season and the freshman team had a 6-1 season.

Fire was the only word for these girls as they started out on the first day of school stroking and kicking away at the waters of the castle pool. They worked on technique and kept adding distance every day, stated Coach Dennis Chambers. Burning like a candle in- side them, improvement became their goal. Their times dropped as each meet became history, according to Chambers. As the year progressed the team sizzled each time they hit the water, burning the old record book as their times flared upward within the sec- tional rankings. Jill Bar- nabee, the team ' s premier diver, was shocked to see her scores improving. Before, I dived with the Avalon Club and they had two girls who always beat me, so I grew to expect third place, she said. I was shocked to start placing first so often. Jill set the school record for diving by scoring a 196.80 score. Icing over nine of the eleven school records, Anne was the dessert of the team. Mr. Chambers was very hap- py with her success. She was a super athlete, said Chambers. Putting all of her op- ponents in cold storage, Anne enjoyed an undefeated season, her second such record in individual events. Anne went to the state meet in Muncie placing 23rd in the 100-yard freestyle and 17th in the 200-yard freestyle. Turning the cold shoulder on only one team doesn ' t seem so hot, but Mr. Chambers explained that with only nine swimmers, it ' s hard to win. If we would have had one more girl that was an average swimmer, we would have won five meets this year. Mr. Chambers compared his team to an iceberg. We did not win many meets, but you have to realize that three-fourths of our talent was underwater. Girls ' Swim Team.

That was all we heard about throughout our teenage years. Gas, jobs, food, money, fuel, and seniors. Yes, seniors. That ' s the type of shortage the varsity tennis team had. With no returning lettermen, the junior varsity netters from last year had to take their trusty rackets to the courts against players who had practiced all year long in Fort Wayne. Our goal was to finish with a .500 season, said Coach John White. We had a rebuilding year. We finish- ed a little below our goal, but I wasn ' t disappointed. Not one of our varsity players (from last year) returned, said number one singles player Mick Lewis. He also commented that there was a shortage of experience. The senior shortage was a blessing to the freshman players, for they got to move up and play on the junior varsity squad as well as on the freshman team. It (get- ting to play JV) gave us more competition and that helped us against the freshman teams, said freshman Steve Hoffacker. The major opponent our netters faced was Wildwood Racquet Club. Our team members were unable to practice in adverse weather or during the summer mon- ths, and that hurt us, stated Robbie Troxel. Tennis is the one sport where you learn self- discipline. It is one of the few games where you call the shots, for there are no refs. You develop trust, character and good sportsmanship, said Mr. White. All in all, most of the tennis players ignored shortages and had fun winning in a game of luv. Boys ' Tennis Team.

Looks like we made it Back in August a group of girls set out to be one of 397 Indiana high schools volleyball teams. The odds were against them, but they did it. When tryouts began, their reasons for going out dif- fered. Joyce Walmsley, for example, wanted to prove to herself that she could make a high school sport and stick with it. Inside, as they made their first hit of the season, each girl had set personal goals and ambitions. They were all pretty confident of taking Huntington North ' s sectional for the 5th consecutive time, but the Wayne Regional had never been touched by NHS. Could they do it? As the season rolled on, they learned more and more, not only about the game, but about each other. My goal was to get to know everyone on the team and how they worked their talents and abilities, stated Gala Gerber. Each game presented a new challenge. Before the first serve. Coach Vickee Snyder would tell us their record and strong points, stated Terri Troxel. From this, we would decide what the other team had and how to counter-attack, such as off- setting a good blocker by dinking (a soft hit), com- mented Denise johnloz. Once the game started, concentration was a must. As the ball crossed the net and it was realized who the ball was headed for, that person had to consider the best and easiest way to get the ball to the setter and get off the spike, said Gala. After the regular season was all over, these girls had time to reflect on their season of victories. I wish it wouldn ' t have ended, and that we would have won the ACAC match, said Kathy Smith. Sectional fell over to the Knights, followed by the Regional. At state, nerves defeated the girls in the opening match. We could have done better if we would have settled down against Roncalh, said Gala. She pointed out, however, that down there, no one ' s a loser. Mrs. Snyder felt that her girls had a successful year, but also commented on the closeness between her girls. But only after that ball hit the gym floor to score the final point at Wayne High School, could they say, looks like we made it. Power-packed serve.

Then if you asked who else played on the Cavalier team, the answer would be a series of stutters. If you asked someone at Norwell who was the best player on the Norwell team was, you ' d get Let ' s see, there ' s so-and-so, but then there ' s so-and-so. Then if you asked who else played for the Knights, you ' d pro- bably get the starting five plus a few reserves. At Norwell, balance was the key word for the varsity squad ' s success at basketball. Coach Jerry Lewis claimed that you never knew who would score the most points, for NHS had four players averaging in double figures. Senior Rick Hoopingarner led the pack with a 13.3 point average. Leading the opponents in all categories, Big Blue teetered things to their ad- vantage by outscoring op- posers 1,307-1,177, outre- bounding them 686-554, and out assisting them 284-196. We had a very balanced at- tack, claimed Coach Lewis. Our defense started in a man-to-man, but when we got the lead, we switched to a zone, and that helps out, commented Hoopingarner. The defense made rivals cough up the ball 325 turn- overs, blocked 69 shots, and allowed 56 points per game. The best games the Knights turned in were against teams Fort Wayne South Side and DeKalb, claimed Lewis. Other pacers for the Knights ' team were Mick Lewis in assists (106] and turnovers (67), and Dirk Bradburn in blocked shots (27) and total rebounds (158). Tourneys seemed to bring the worst out in the Norwell team, as they were beaten in two of their three tourneys by teams they had beaten earlier in the year. They did not play well under pressure, commented Coach Lewis. With a 15-6 final record, the scales were definitely tip- ped in Norwell ' s favor throughout the year and team members, fans, and coaches alike could honestly say that they had a great balancing act. 166 Varsity Basketball Up and over.

They have become one of the deadhest teams since the legendary Bonnie and Clyde of the 1920 ' s. Since the CasUe doors opened 15 years ago, Wells County citizens have come to expect a victory upon entering the NHS gym- nasium. The tradition will more than likely continue its lethal path through opposing teams, for the Norwell junior varsit} ' and freshman teams posted winning records dur- ing their winter campaigns. Gunning down all but six of their foes, Neil Kinsey ' s junior varsity team had a pretty good season in the opinion of Chris Hoffman, the team ' s leading scorer. We were really good at get- ting the ball inside, com- mented Hoffman, But I wish we would have had a better record. Using a man-to-man defense and motion offense to baffle opposers, Kinsey ' s dribblers outscored op- ponents 332-218. After the South Side shoot out, Kinsey claimed his 200th career vic- tory, but Kinsey stated that t his accomplishment belonged to the boys who played in those 200 wins. Rebounding and defense was the freshmen ' s advan- tage according to Don Bradley. On the other hand, Ryan Meshberger sighted turnovers as a sore spot. Also using a man-to-man and motion plans, Coach Verlin Scherrer spotted this season as a typical suc- cessful year. Scherrer was impressed with his team ' s ability to play well together and hit the open man. Both teams had their disap- pointments, such as the reserve ' s last second loss to Bellmont and the freshmen ' s poor showing at Harding, but the good times were there, too. I will remember just getting to play, stated first- year player and starter Bradley. Upon reviewing these stats for NHS ' s future stars, out- siders will grow tense and whisper among themselves while Knights fans will lean back and sigh, Big Blue is in good hands.

It seemed the team met with the same defeater three times during the season. Heritage set back the girls in the regular season with a 46-69 victory for the Patriots. Heritage also held back Norwell in the ACAC final game and the regional final game. We found them very challenging, Coach Worden commented. The most exciting game was the final game of sec- tional against Bellmont which went into overtime, according to Coach Worden. At the last second a shot was made by Tina Gray to tie and then the Knights went on to win. Outstanding girls were Johnloz and Gala Gerber who were named to the All-Conference unit.

It consists of physical competition bet- ween two individuals. (It ' s not a team sport as much as an individual sport.) It ' s mentally tougher than other sports. Plus, it re- quires personal deter- mination to be good. This sport is — wrestling and it is all of the above, and more. Coach Jim Cobble said, Wrestling requires a lot of sacrifice because you have to watch your weight besides practicing hard. R eaction at the time of action is what makes this sport different from other sports. You don ' t have much time to think. You just look for openings or mistakes your opponent makes, Cobble stated. This year was the same as last year. Not as good a record but better in- dividual performances, said Cobble. Next year there will be a lot of young people coming back. The team will only be losing two seniors. If the guys are willing to put in time this summer there should be a much improv- ed team, commented Cobble.

Chilling weather damaged some aspects of the season as missed school days shrunk the gymnasts ' season from three to two months. We had to do with less condi- tioning, said Coach Vickee Snyder. Spills also took their toll on the team in the form of disappointment in missed meets. At sectional, Sherri Stotlar fell and broke her arm while warming up, causing her to miss the sectional meet. It (the season) was great and I got a lot of experience, so I guess it was not so bad missing sectional, said Sherri on her mishap. Robin Fisher injured her back during the season, causing even more disap- pointments. If I could have changed one thing, it would have been Sherri ' s arm and Robin ' s back, said Marilyn Bolinger. As the school records fell to new ones set this year, the thrills of ac- complishment rang through the team. Even thougn they didn ' t have any seniors, the g ' mnasts had high hopes for this season. I thought that we were going to be great: one of the best in this area, stated |ulie Hedges. We w-anted to show them (Wayne schools) that we were not a country school. The optional team met all of our goals, out after each meet, we raised those goals higher, [ulie went on to say of her team. The team cited the beam as their best event, with the vault and bars coming in second place. At the beginning. v e considered it a rebuilding season, but Julie, Marilyn, and Lynda Ball really came through, stated Mrs. Snyder. There were many goals met, while others were left to next year, but all things considered, most of the gv ' mnasts made well with their chills, spills, and thrills.

Magic to do It was like a fairy tale et- ched out of some child ' s Golden Book. Not only did the track team finish 9-0, but they also zapped all Allen County Athletic Conference foes, crowned Fort Wayne Northrop, car- ried on Norwell ' s proud never-been-beaten-on-the- home-track record, and brought in the eighth straight sectional title. It all seemed impossible, yet it was achieved. When the season started, Coach Bob Milton was very optimistic about the upcoming season. This is one of the best teams I ' ve coached, he stated in a pre-season in- terview. ' The season started off with the burn- ing of the Bellmont Braves at the stake and the Knights were on their way to another undefeated season in dual and triangular meets. The ACAC was ripped to shreds as Norwell lightning bolts struck the seven teams that stood in their way. No team could keep Norwell under 100 points and in the con- ference meet, the Blue and Gold runners smoked everyone, raking in 183 points while second place Carroll only scrounged up 81. At the Lime City Relays, the Norwell thinlies were faced against state-ranked Northrop. Norwell went full tilt in every event, hoping for some magic. With one event left and down by nine, it seemed like the entire cause was lost, for all Northrop had to do was finish in the 400-meter relay and the team title was theirs. Whether it was caused by mystic powers or not, the Bruins threw their baton, causing disqualification; therefore, Norwell won the team title 78-77. Even Northrop ' s coach Barrie Peterson stated It just wasn ' t meant to oe. Evidently somebody had other plans for us. I was ecstatic, said coach Milton on his team ' s finish. We had good solid performances all day. Every now and then, if you coach long enough, you will win one like this. Miracles never cease, he went on to say. In fifteen years of track teams, Norwell had never been beaten on the home court. This streak was passed on, but not easily.

NHS whipped up a cloud of dust and choked the Homestead squad by giving a solitary point to HHS in these re- maining events. The team ' s season end- ed with the Huntington Sectional. For the eighth straight year, Norwell returned with the first- place trophy. From here on, the runners were on their own. In the Fort Wayne Regional, NHS lost all their powers against larger schools. Only one p erson survived the Regional, as Darren Br ' an went to the state meet seeded 20th in the 1600- meter run and came out in the 12th place. Our tjiggest advantage was our cohesiveness, commented Coach Milton on his athletes. We always pulled and cheered for each other, stated Barry Schnieders.

An outstanding person covered every event in girls ' track. The team put away all com- petition almost every time they went on patrol (patrolled a meet). The on- ly fault was they didn ' t have a back-up person in every event. With a 13-1 season the only team to detect any competition was Harding who ranked third in the state. Captain (Coach) Scott said he was very proud of this year ' s force. They showed the ability to rise to the occasion, Scott commented. Even though it was a young force, it was the best team ever at Norwell. Just this year they broke 11 out of 13 school records. According to Scott the most memorable caper was the Conference meet with 8 school records set and 11 personal bests in one meet. This team can honestly say mission accomplish- ed for this year. , -Girls ' Track — NH5 OPPONENT 7 Adams Central 43 71 Churubusco 20 61 South Side 59 SI South Adams 14 71 Woodlan 47 71 Southern Wells 15 69 Blufflon 36 73 ' 1 Heritage 31 ' . 60 Huntington 49 60 Betlmonl 25 63 Carroll 54 63 Leo 17 2nd South Adams Relays Isl ACAC S3 Harding 60 ' . 53 Woodlan 20 ' .

Diamond leaders Norwell ' s baseball dia- mond was a glittering shrine to all ACAC schools this year. Going 7-0 in con- ference games, the Knight nine shone their way to the top of their conference for the second year in a row. Although it was team ef- fort, it was individual outstanding achievements that made the season a success. Rick Hoop- ingarner led the team with a .320 batting average, while Mike Gray chipped in 12 of his teammates. To further aid the Knight cause, Eric Milholland and Kyle Bailey crossed the plate 12 times each, ac- counting for 26 of the team ' s 105 runs over the season. Kyle also led the team with 18 hits. Pitching was not a lackluster category for Norwell. Behind Kent Maggard ' s ERA of 2.66 and 68 strike-outs, NHS once again had a pitcher under the eyes of profes- sional scouts. The season was suc- cessful, stated Coach Jerry Lewis. We didn ' t come through during some games. Our errors in the field let too many runs score, he went on to say. The most outstanding game his team played, ac- cording to Lewis, was the conference dual with Leo. The score was deadlocked until Kyle Bailey hit the ball to right field to knock in the winning run. The junior varsity team also had a winning season. Tim Otis set the school JV record with a .621 batting average while Ryan Frauhiger came in second with a .440 mean. Pitchers Tim Decker and Allan Macklin per- formed well this season, as they went 1-0 and 1-1 respectively. Alan had a no-nitter against Heritage. It was a good season because we kept winning. It was memorable and I was happy to play baseball, commented Brian Cornell. We had a good team and I was pleased with this. You can always im- prove on defense, for when you have 12 freshmen playing, it ' s a learning situation and you have to expect a few er- rors, stated Coach Stan Reed. imu ' ° ' ' .

Keeping cool Although the tempera- tures outside rose higher than ever, the girls ' tennis team had a very cool season. Playing with three singles and two doubles as opposed to last year ' s for- mat of five singles and two doubles, they put all but three of their opponents in the deep freeze. Our regular season record end- ed the same as last year ' s, so I guess we felt good that we kept it up there, com- mented Coach Terri Worden. It would have been nice to do better against the Fort Wayne schools, she added. Against these schools whose players practiced year round at private clubs, the girls got the slip by one game. At sectional, the girls ex- perienced their first freezer burn. Rain drench- ed four practices out and then they drew Elmhurst the toughest opponent they faced. Coach Worden hoped for the spartan per- formance her girls gave the Trojan netters during their last meeting, but the girls lost 5-0. It was hard going into sectional after missing four days of prac- tice, said Cheryl Crellin. Gala Gerber and Amy George teamed up for the most successful season, as they went 10-1. Julie Dian and Jill Dale both posted 9-2 records in their singles campaigns. Coach Worden also felt that Linda Dun- widdie and Tonya Slater played well. The one thing that separated this team from others, according to Coach Worden, was when the heat was turned on, they didn ' t blow up like their opponents. They kept their cool, she said.. Top that!

The boys golf team was the first team ever to advance to semistate but they weren ' t satisfied with just that: they went one better and placed 9th at state. They started their climb by placing 2nd in Sec- tional then 4th in Regional going on to place 8th in semistate and finally plac- ed 9th in state. As a tournament team, this is the best our school has done, said Coach Mike Gilbert. They ' ve never won the ACAC before or so many tourneys in one year. Missing sectional bv one shot the season record was 12-2. Outstanding players and top five varsity were Chip Mann considered on of the best players in the state. said Coach (Gilbert.

This gave them more of an incentive to play up to what everyone thinks they can, it also gave other teams more in- centive to try hard to beat them, said Gilbert A record setting team also, they set the record for low average for the season with 156.

With a little help from the growing crowd, the boys ' swim team broke all school records. Coach Dennis Chambers said, The boys had a tremen- dous improvement be- cause of the experience in the team. Special honors went to Todd Bate who was picked Most Valuable Player and Kevin Frauhiger who was most improved. Coach Chambers said, Every- body improved. We work the whole season for the last meet, the sectional, Coach Chambers said. He com- mented that the first prac- tices stressed getting in shape. The second phase was the conditioning phase and the third phase was the most difficult. The team practiced two times a day for four or five hours. The final phase was the taper phase, which in- volved getting ready for the final meet. According to Chambers the highlight of the season was beating Bluffton twice. The boy ' s swim team put another year ' s ex- perience under their belts. They had some trouble with meets being snowed out but they did improve their win-loss record. A breath of confldence.

So many things fit in this category but are never heard about very often. Either because they ' re too crazy or there ' s not a team for it. Some sports are done on the per- sons own time just for the fun of it; the person doesn ' t even reahze it ' s a sport. Some of these unknown sports are: dressing up either like cheerleaders or whatever you want to, playing frisbee, playing pool, roller skating in the street, horseback riding or just goofing off in the gym or the front yard. When is a sport really declared a sport? Who really knows? Frisbee fun. A Knight shows off his frisbee ability during lunch period.

Fifty dollars didn ' t go very far when buy- ing clothes, considering a sweater cost $30 and jeans were anywhere from $20 to $40 a pair. • Entertainment was even expensive. Movies were anywhere from $2.50 to $4.00. Bowling was 75 cents a game, rollerskating was $1.50 to get in and another 75 cents to rent skates. Then you had to buy gasoline to get to these activities which was $1.30 a gallon.

Time rapidly ticked away. At first we wanted it that way, but as the year drew to an end we didn ' t want to let go. We wanted to see our friends every day to talk about past activities. All too suddenly seniors faced graduation announcements, job searches, career choices, or college decisions. Last days are always filled with excite- ment, joy, laughter, tears, and remember to write, keep in touch, ok! and this year was no exception. As the time came we remembered those cold, wet football games, hot crowded basketball games, the convoca- tion concerning teenage pregnancy, sending carnations to friends, secret ...

We survived all of it, including the so-called rotten lunches, getting up ear- ly, the snow days, the flood, the hassles of other students, and teachers. School wouldn ' t be school without all of those things. They say school years are the best years of your life. Maybe so. We not only learned our English, math, science and history, we learned punctuality, coopera- tion, responsibility, respect and endurance. We had made it to the end of another year. For 203 students the end of their high school days came in a physical meaning only, because the memories will last forever. We can always say we had our big moments and those small ones, but BIG OR SMALL, WE ' VE HAD THEM ALL! S-E-N-I-O-R-S.
