Time Out. Todd Heign, Glen Boyle, Chris Sonnenburg, and Racheal Sharp leave the building in a fire drill. Marching in Time. Every ' step counts as the Marching Knights parade in the streets of Ossian. Moving Through Time. Dewayne Fiedler times the vehicle in front to assure a smooth ride for the float passengers. More Minutes Measuring Time. Mike Cayot stands tali while being fitted for his graduation cap and gown. With the day lengthened and an extra period added, the year started out jumbled. It took time, but the kids and the teachers learned the new schedules. The Knight population scurried in the hallways, and studied in tKe classrooms. Many even took time to use the More Minutes to make More Memories. Jump Shot. The Knight team gathers around the home net awaiting the drop of the ball and a chance for the rebound while the crowd looks on in excitement. Now, if I Could Only Fly Like Super- man. Troy Cale proves his strength by raising Brad Foster. Robert Hockel, Alan Fulhart, and Doug Todd enjoy the show as well as the Science Club field trip. Is It a Drill or Is It Memorex. Kim Clouse worries little about the fire drill taking place while everyone lines the halls. Translate and Concentrate. Susan Hower takes time to finish her careful work so the letter will come out mailable. More Memories Memories of castle life range from a winning season to a loud conversation with best friends in the library. Whether big or small, good or bad, all Knights remember highlights from years f;one by. Being forced by state aw to spend more time in classes gave an opportunity to better enrich those memories to everyone. Re- membrances of games, clubs, field trips, and special companions, expanded and came to life from fall until spring. The few minutes added to the day and the few in between that were taken away only mat- tered when something outside of school conflicted or when the bell caught people in the hallways. Students worked to make More Memories in More Minutes. Studio Musicians: Julie Babcock and Beth Crellin use their musical talent to the fullest. A Creative Moment From a calm, empty showcase, where student ' s artwork or trophies are displayed; to a loud, boisterous gymnasium in which a coach is fran- tically guiding his players; Creativity stands as the basic ingredient. Maybe someone is playing a song for the first time or a volleyball is be- ing spiked across the net for the for- tieth time; none the less, it ' s the creative way in which they are being done that ' s important. Setting things up to gather the complete effect is one way of being creative, but some of the best ex- amples of creativity have been at the spur of the moment, such as a sketch on the back of a notebook or a head-on collision meeting the per- son of your dreams. Creative moments aren ' t usually the ones that are publicized or remembered. Looking out into the crowd at graduation no one remembers the first scary day of kindergarten, and after a winning season not many people care about the pain of all those practices ... so as the creativity builds fantastic out- comes, every excruciating minute used to think of ideas is a minute thoroughly enjoyed in the end. Me and My Shadow. Herb Gass and P. J. Felger use their creativity in Graphic Arts 6 CREATIVE MOMENT rtianks Mom. MiKe nanauer presents nis mom, Barb, with a rose as his dad, Joe, looks on proudly.

For some, memberships in clubs, attending myriad activities, and being with a certain crowd were most important. For others, academics came first, with college admission first in their minds. Still others looked for classes that would lead to a job right out of school. Life at school became whatever one chose. 6-7-8.

Moments of Enlightenment 8 STUDENT LIFE Student Life STUDENT LIFE 9 Homecoming Blitz Homecoming . . . the big Fall event! Traditionally, Homecoming is a time to whoop it up and generally have a good time in addition to at- tending the football game, the pep session, the bonfire and all the dress-up days. Homecoming of 1984, however, was a bit different because of the new rules regarding school times, etc. The pep session fell vic- tim to the time-on-task rules, but the students managed to find their own methods of having a good time. This year also went down in school history as the end of Farmer Day, but the dress-up days were still color- ful, slightly weird, and still fun for most of the students. The most popular of the new days was Nerd Day; some otherwise preppy types appeared in obviously un-prep attire. (With some, an observer couldn ' t see much difference in FSerd and their normal dress!). The point of the dress days was to liven up school, at least for one week, and from that standpoint, the days were successful! The wall decorations sprung up and out in their usual burst of color, creativity, and careful attention to detail! The walls en- countered their usual problem, some extra attention by some over-zealous students who felt they had to add their own personal touches to a cer- tain wall! Neo-Modernist Impressionism. Lori Wilson scribbles on a wall during Homecoming week. Go For It. The Knights go for the gold as they beat the Carroll Chargers 10-6 for another homecoming victory. 10 HO.MECOMING Greek Surprise.

HOMECOMING 1 1 1 2 HOMECOMING HOMECOMING 13 Fashion Bug From Forenza hot to farm fresh, fashion at Norwell ran the length of the color and style spec- trum! A person could be comfort- able, prep, new wave, farm, or Forenza and no matter what the choice, every style was accepted and enjoyed. The popular sweaters were displayed in all colors from fluorescent pink and green to the more calm, neutral black and white. This color range was seen often in the halls, not only in sweaters, but also in the ever-comfortable sweats, and accessories . . . earrings, socks, scarves, nails, even make-up. Jeans still remained the ever- popular wear-everywhere garb. They became pegged and worn many times tucked inside short boots. Guys didn ' t change their style or even their basic wardrobes a great deal. Many males appeared with the oxford shirt and vest or sweater matched with the ever-present jean. Penny loafers or boat shoes com- pleted these outfits, and the simple sneaker made its appearance with the tee-shirt-and-faded-jeans crowd. Generally, the new colors, styles, and cuts of clothes were worn on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays were usually slob days or at least days when students tried to get as comfortable as possible! Mo big deal was ever made over an unknown style, because after a few weeks it could be the most popular. Individuals dressed to express themselves; some people dressed to fit in with cliques and dressed just to be comfortable. Basically, it was a time for many styles to be in. u 2 v I Bjl fi fe- ' -- ' J The Morning Stretch. Sweaters and vests line the hallways in the mornings on cold winter days. Bookn ' Down the Hall.

Couples shared lockers; students and teachers continued their quest for comprehen- sion of each other. Friend- ships were as fleeting as the four-minute class break, or as lasting as a lifetime. People became close, then grew apart, as each life in the relationship changed and went in its own direction. The relationships of high school were as varied as the person involved and as changeable as the In- diana weather. For some students, hur- rying home seemed much more important than hur- rying to homeroom. However, for most, school was the common thread that wove lives together. Tumblin ' Down.

So they could catch a few more minutes of sleep after the long night hours or to get an early start before the rest of the school was out. Many students worked because they didn ' t have a choice, others to get a few extra dollars so they could attend the college of their choice and a select few worked to see if the career they had chosen was best for them. Jobs ranged from funeral homes to fast food restaurants. Some peo- ple worked at grocery stores and department stores while others spent their time on the farm or pum- ping gas. Some students wanted to feel more useful. They worked in nursing homes, as a life guard or babysat. What ever the choice, students were rolling in dough through the school year. One down, one to go.

These were some of the changes that took place at the Castle. The day was lengthened by 14 minutes and a seventh period was added. Many students and teachers complained that 4 minutes between classes just wasn ' t enough to do all the necessary things. Adding another period also added four new classes: Aerobics, Weight Lifting, Careers, and Parenting. Parenting provided students with facts about raising children and they also held a Nursery school for a week to have hands-on experience with children. with children. Weight Lifting provided students with better physical fitness and the chance to better their skill in lifting weights. Careers class was an excellent op- portunity for students to explore the different professions available. They had many speakers that informed them of training and education necessary for many fields. They also had a self-awareness unit that taught them more about themselves. Not only were classes added but rooms were changed. The Business Dept. changed its form. The office and the accounting room both had a new size and shape. The Publications room had an ad- ditional five feet added to it, which provided space for everyone to work comfortably. In the Guidance area a student lounge was added. This addition was a real benefit to the student who needed information about colleges and also wanted to relax while look- ing over the opportunities they have for the future. All in all many nice changes oc- curred during the year, which were real benefits for the students. We can really say ADD ONS CHANGE TIMES. Look at this.

I was fairly well sotisfied with whot we did. The season was better than overage. The Knights, composed mainly of underclassmen, placed third in the ACAC conference and a 6-4 season record. There were some exciting highlights this season. For starters, winning the first two games provided the Knights with hopeful expectations. And then, who could forget the gome against Bluffton when many touchdowns were scored by the Knights. Another memorable mo- ment was when the Knights went into overtime with Dell- mont. Though we lost this gome by o point, the Knights held on until the lost tick of the clock. The defense was consis- tent, but the offense wos not. The inexperience of our team, due to many underclassmen, probobly contributed to some of our losses, stated Coach Scott. John Crellin, Tim Eichler, Greg Lobsiger, Ryan Meshburger, and Tim Otis were the more outstanding seniors and leaders as well. All-Conference players were John Crellin, Tim Eichler. and Greg Lobsiger. John Crellin was voted All- Area ployer, Greg Lobsiger was voted Most Valuoble, and Tim Oris set a new field gool record. Two players were voted to Academic Ali-Stote. They were John Crellin and Ryan Meshburger. All in oil, the season, like mentioned before, was better than overage. A A «| !

The swim starred the previous yeor with Mr. Chambers as coach. By the srort of this year, Mr. Chombers had left the coaching position, and Mr. Beck wos hired. Just when the girls were getting their season underway, their se- cond coach left for health reosons, and Mrs. Carr took over the cooching respon- sibilities. Once that obstacle was overcome, the girls steadily improved their per- formances, sparked by some strong showings by freshman Kara Brickley, Beth Crellin, and Mellnda Gerbers. According to one of the captains, senior Kelli Roberts, one of the highlights of the year was beating Bluffton . . . twice! ' ' The year developed into a good year for building future strength; the girls glided to the end of the season with a 4 and 6 record. Up and Over.

Walk- ing through the main hall can create a small knot in the stomach of a freshman, thus making him take the long way around. Most ninth-graders, however, avoided all possibility of being totally terrorized by carrying all of their books as well as their code book, to all of their classes and for super-gluing their lockers to make sure they were shut tight. Being a freshman is a year that everyone sur- vives. However, despite stuck lockers and rude up- perclassmen, freshmen somehow turn into sophomores. 74 Freshmen I t 1985 Freshmen Class Officers (left to right): Secretary Lesley Baumgartner, Vice President Wendy Felger, President Lynne Kinzer, and Treasurer Kent Hanauer were the first elected officials for their high school class.

If juggling chemical equations and studying parallelograms weren ' t strain enough, sophomores (and everyone else) had a longer, seven-period day to contend with. Jerod Mabry, a typical sophomore, commented, My classes are harder this year, but I ' m learning a lot and also having fun.

Administration: Running the Show no absence have been no helpful Just as a body could not function in an organized way without its brain, a high school couldn ' t func- tion very well without its administration. Without the office secretaries, lists would compiled; memos or weekly calen- dars would have been typed. The paper flow would have dried up! Also necessary to the school were the guidance counselors. Their duties in- cluded organizing students ' class schedules. They also counseled students about preparing for jobs or furthering their education after high school. Mr, Dormire and Mr. Stanton, prinicpal and vice-principal, were there to coordinate these efforts and also help maintain an environment of learning and order. These two men held the burden of responsiblity for the safety of students at school, and they made no fuss about enforcing the safety rules. The school board, though not quite so familiar to all students, were also on the job. They met twice a month in order to make important decisions. The administration, therefore, was the control center of the school, much like the brain is the control center of the body. What ' s going on here?

As the year started slowly winding down and coming to its inevitable end, several seniors in one of the government classes had this all -important highly academic question put to them. Their responses were as varied as their last four years had been. The seniors pictured here, as well as many others in this class realized that a major part of their lives was over, and, with the coming of the next year {or, in this instance, the next pages!) they were officially graduates and therefore adults! The year had started with the fun of Homecoming and the fact that they were now really seniors. As the year wore on, senior responsibilities started to set in: mid-term grads left; graduation announcements were picked up in the Commons the day before Spring Break. For some, the looking back started even before they were out. Following are some responses to the headline question. M hirirt I would have been mure active in extracur- I would have worked harder with my sports and I would have spent more time with my friend, ricular activities and spent more time with my my grades, and if I would have been here for four and become closer with the friends I do hav friends — Cheryl Jump. years, I wouldn ' t have been so outgoing! — would have been a lot crazier! — Tonya Harry White.

The final year for 183 Seniors was filled with many activities. Each Senior ' s life held different goals. Besides school, students worked, competed in sports and attended meetings. With the final day approaching, Seniors became anxious about what lay ahead of them. Through-out the year, Seniors captured many memories in school and out.

Fortunately at the Castle, there were students who volunteered to help out. The student secretaries who worked in the office said they enjoyed the ex- perience. They were able to get out of their bor- ing study halls and do useful things. One of their tasks was to take the at- tendance slips, so that the attendance records could be kept. They also put mail in the teacher ' s mail- boxes and ran assignments to students in the ISS room. In the school ' s library, student library aides spent their time keeping stuff organized. Books and magazines had to be returned to their proper places. Of course the library aides had to check out a lot of books to students, too. When asked if she liked being a library aide, Angie Yake said that it was actually a lot of fun. Though the student aides never got paid, they were able to escape study hall, be useful, and general- ly have a good time. Office Student Secretaries.

Dishing It Out, Mopping It Up Day after day, meal after meal, mess after mess, school life went on. Hardly noticed amid the scuffle of students and teachers, the cooks and janitors provided the school with an indispensi- ble service. The cooks were respon- sible for filling hundreds of empty stomachs each day. This primary duty kept the cooks busy before, during, and after lunch. Preparing the large amounts of food was just the beginning. The cooks had to con- tinuously supply the food lines while the students were shuffling through. Hundreds of dirty dishes poured into the kitchen, waiting to be washed. The cafeteria also had to be straightened up afterwards. Each new day held more chores for the janitors. Their work lasted throughout the year; they mowed the lawn in the summer and shoveled the walks in the winter. When a desk or locker fell apart, a janitor fixed it. Every day, of course, they swept the floors and emptied the wastebaskets. Even though most students didn ' t often thank them, the cooks and janitors continued their im- portant work. Custodians.

A busdriver hod ro memorize lots of dif- ferenr srops on o long route. A typical bus route often included difficult turns, nar- row srrerches of rood, ond por holes. The weother conditions sometimes con- sisted of storms, ice, or fog. Maneuvering o bus in rhese siruQtions required a lot of skill of the bus drivers. Often fifty or sixty other lives depended on a bus driver ' s skill, so ir was no surprise thor bus drivers hod to hold a special chauffeur ' s license. Driving a school bus wos sometimes hectic. Bus drivers hod ro conrrol shouting, poper wad rhrowing, and squirt guns. These things, however, really didn ' r present many problems until the final doys of school. The bus drivers arose early in rhe morning in order ro get the students to school before rhe start of dosses at 7:50 A.M. Later in the day the buses rerurned for rhe 2:34 dismissal. The bus drivers usuolly kept their schedule very well, rhough rhe buses were somerimes prone ro break down in the winter.

Assemblies were less frequent, skipping class became tougher, and the amount of credits needed for graduation was increas- ing every year. Minutes once used for goofing-off were now forced into being spent listening, studying, and taking notes. ACADEMICS 123 BUSINESS Type righter .

Due to increased enroll- ment, a new teacher, Mrs. McDonald, was add- ed to the Business Depart- ment staff. Several new students such as freshmen were geared toward typing and computers. However, one of the old students who were involved with Business Machines was Senior, Angie Dekoninck. She stated, the thing that I liked the most was learn- ing the different functions of the computer. In Typing I, the students were priviledged to use 32 ' new electric typewriters rather than the old ' manual ones. Along with this news, the stude nts received new tables and chairs. The Business Depart- ment also purchased five electronic typewriters for the Advanced Typing classes. These typewriters had memories, correction features, and various pitch changes that allowed the students to be more productive. One major new thing that took place in the Business Department was the redesigning of the area. This change was needed because the old computer room was too small for all of the machines and new com- puters. Therefore, after all of this business was completed, the students worked from 7:50 a.m. un- til 2:30 p.m. with these news. Hey, teacher ...

The different Science courses offered to the students many unusual, but fascinating ex- periences. In Physics, the students experimented with the out-of-the- ordinary Vanden Graph generator. In addition, they measured the div er- sion of the captivating;; laser beam and studied electrical circuits. The students in the Chemistry classes noted Chemistry classes noted several unexpected, but interesting circumstances. For their first lab, Chem I students observed a burn- ing birthday candle. Throughout the year, they also learned how to write and balance equations. The Chem II students practiced titrating solutions. The Biology students had strange, out exciting situations. Bio I students dissected worms, fish, frogs, and crayfish, while Bio II students dissected sheep eyes, shark heads, and cats. The students in Astronomy class discovered new and astonishing things about our solar system. All-in-all, the students involved with Science had many informative, but bizarre moments. Hair raising.

The World History class dealt with different customs in other parts of the world, while in the Psychology and Soc class, a student could understand the inner workings of his or her own behavior. The Math classes were feared by some and enjoyed by others! Students were able to take a wide variety of courses ranging from a simple basic math to the more complicated ad- vanced classes of Trig and Calculus. Whichever class a stu- dent chose, he or she was well-prepared for a future job, college, or a career. Busy hands are happy hands?! Gaye Sadler works through a pro- blem in the Computer Room.

The wise students hunted for the meaning of a word when the teacher asked the class and no one knew. The wiser students found defini- tions of more than twen- ty vocabulary words that were to be memorized for a test each week. The wisest students made sure that they were using a word correctly when they wrote a paragraph, an essay, or especially a term paper. For the few Solomons, that one little look in that one thick book saved a deduction of ten points from their writing assignments. In Drama and Public Speaking classes, the students did not refer to numerous outside resources, but most of the time, they used per- sonal insights to further develop their abilities. This allowed students to be themselves and to demonstrate the wisdom gained through their elementary and partially completed high school education. In Literature classes, students examined work by famous authors. Tina McBride says, I en- joyed the American Lit. class because Mrs. Koons knew and presented the materials well. The Minister ' s Black Veil had more direct symbolism, unlike some stories that have hidden meanings. Just because teachers seem to believe that a certain poem means one thing, I don ' t see how they can really unders- tand what the author was thinking back in the 1700 ' s and 1800 ' s. Peo- ple don ' t see things alike. The morning stretch. Cathy Dyar begins the day by pantomiming in her third period Public Spealc- ing class. Ballad of New Years Eve.

The Spanish class made maps of South America to learn which countries spoke Spanish.

Students had two new classes to choose from. Aerobics and Weight Training. Aerobics taught by Miss Wiant, who took over for Mrs. Snyder, who received maternity leave, had this to say about Aerobics, I think it ' s fun because the kids are so en- thusiastic about learning and they get excited danc- ing. It ' s not always the same routine. It ' s challenging for me I ' m learning from them. Weight Training was taught by Mr. Scott; this class also helps to build a better body. These classes were for mostly upper-classmen. The Freshmen went through a similar routine that most upper-classmen have gone through before, which ranged from foot- ball to tennis to squaredancing. 199... 200: Angle Brad- burn does her pull ups in Weight Training.

Mak- ing a candle holder, Greg Somers holds very steady. rom the offset press to the dashboard of a car, from the drawing board to the tablesaw, the Industrial Arts department helped students put their hands together and create, draw, repair and think. Mr. Cobble, Mr. Hal- sey and Mr. Harris in- troduced in more detail to the students the many industrial techniques and processes that are used in the working world. Mr. Cobble, for example, taught Graphic Art II students how to develop color slide film and how to make special effects photographs. In the creative Con- struction classes, the students built barns for a local supplier that pro- vided the lumber. The Woods and Construction classes had more time not only to create, but also to repair. The Con- struction I students repaired copper pipes by soldering and plastic pipes by glueing. The students in Power and Transportation also practiced repairing a tractor and car engine. In Drafting I, Marc PTllers realized that his class required not only drawing, but also think- ing. He said that the ob- ject of drafting is to take pictures out of your mind and put them on paper. Thus, the Industrial Arts classes learned more about how the real working world operates and how to put their hands, along with their minds, to use. Working in order.

Who ' s going to hold your hand when you get out of school? The student replies, No one. I won ' t need help then. It ' s all in the develop- ment — just like a recipe! In Home Economics and Special Education, work and perseverance paid off. Special Ed prepared students with the basics needed in life. Mrs. Wilson, Special Ed ad- visor, says, I try very hard to keep my classroom place. Having disabilities a positive learning does not mean students can ' t learn. It only means that they will learn dif- ferently. Some students remembered better by hearing the information such as in lecture classes and having their tests read. Others did well by seeing materials that were presented on the board. Others needed both hearing and seeing to learn the best. Films, for example, worked great for these students. Special Ed was the best way to provide suppor- tive help. Just like the hands on experience in Home Ec was the best way to learn how to cook or sew. Throughout the year, the Home Ec students baked cookies, made a breakfast of waffles, grilled T-bone steaks, and gave food demonstrations. Everyone made something different such as cheeseballs, taco dip, and fruit pizza. It ' s fun since we get to make anything we want, says Lisa Mankey about Senior Home Ec. When students sampl- ed their conglomera- tions, many found they had followed the recipe and were successful, but others needed several suggestions. Each senior invited another student from a study hall to eat and hopefully enjoy the meal. One meal, for ex- ample, consisted of shishkebabs, tossed salad, baked potatoes, pepsi, and ice cream with chocolate chips. Besides cooKing, Home Ec I and II sewed items such as skirts, blouses, and jackets. Through it all, work and perseverance — no matter what it took — meant success.

Their art was produced through an instrument, that they had learned to appreciate and regard as an important part of their talent. One way some of the band students shows their talent off was by joining Brass Impact, which entertained the basketball fans at half time. Art and band students did not just show their talent to the student body.

In a few short minutes, the students ' blood circulated, and their hearing became sensitive to sound, blend, and pitch. The choir classes were as exciting and meaningful to these students as a basketball game was for some students; it offered the same chance to be part of a team effort, and it was a place where one tested his personal talents. The choirs spread some of this energy to the outside world by performing at the Chili Supper, the Christmas Concert, and the ISSMA competition.

Keeping up the tradition of support for families whose children needed medical help, Sunshine donated $635.00 to Riley Hospital. Each circle helped an adopted grand- parent at the Ossian Health Care Center. The helping wasn ' t just directed towards other people, however. Each girl in Sunshine grew socially and responsibly through two activities; The Christmas dance, sponsored by Sunshine, turned into a Starlight Christmas. Sixty couples enjoyed a transformed cafeteria, in an at- mosphere of silver and stars. Each girl also selected an adult woman from the community as her Ideal Lady. This person was someone that each girl ad- mired; the lucky ladies were treated throughout the year with surprises, such as birthday treats and special cards. All identities were revealed in the spring at the Ideal Ladies Tea. Helping turned out to be anything but boring.

A SARDSDAV 169 Almost Paradise For many students Prom night was filled with romance, elegance, and fun. The Prom allowed ordinary high school students to behave like sophisticated young ladies and gentleman for an evening. The evening was the highlight of the social activities that make up many high school students ' ex- periences. Many hours of planning resulted in a ballroom glittering with purple and silver balloons and streamers. A big event of the even- ing was popping the balloons that laid around on the floor. Music was provided by Jeff Davis of WMEE. Mo matter what kind of music he played people were danc- ing the whole time. The time had come for the crown- ing of the prom queen and king. Lyn- da Ball and Ryan Frauhiger were named the royal couple. Their court consisted of Juanita Gavilanez, Terri Troxel, LynAnn Valentine, Carla Wood, Trent Bradburn, Donald Bradley, John Crellin, and Tim Eichler.

Royal Family: Joni Mossburg (Larken), Jeff Tomlin (Prince Dauntless), Deanna Dubach (Queen Agravain), Brian Foster (King Sextimus), Denise Roth (WInnlfred), Matt Huffman (Sir Harry). Summer: S-O-M-M-E-R Denise Roth can ' t spell very well, but she tries anyway. In Front of the Curtain The orchestra begins to play . . . the house lights dim. A voice is heard through the darkened auditorium: once upon a time in a far off kingdom ... ... The comic musical, Once Upon A Mattress is about to begin a production. The Minstrel (Clark Stohler) tells the au- dience the old fairy tale of the Princess and the pea. Of course, syas the Minstrel, this is the true story! The setting is a small kingdom ruled by an extremely talkative Queen (Deanna Duback) and her husband. King Sextimus the Silent (Brian Foster). The queen is giving the Royal Test for a true Princess when the curtains open . . . one by one, even the most qualified princesses can not answer the impossibly difficult questions posed to them by the Queen and the Wizard. The play becomes more in- teresting when Princess 13 ap- pears on stage wringing wet! She has been brought to the kingdom as a possible wife for Prince Dauntless by the gallant but slightly desperate knight, Sir Harry. For the lucky people who were in the audience for this musical , the crazy plot and even stranger ending made sense!! Lovers. When Larken gets pregnant, Harry is forced to go in search of a princess.

Steve Easle reads a final eulogy over Brian Foster. Behind the Scenes The crowd only saw what happened on the stage once. The crew and cast, however, were subjected to the torture for weeks on end. Endless hours were spent practicing, clean- ing their moves, and memorizing their lines for a few moments of fleeting recognition. The cast was subjected to the terrors of Saturday practices, living in the auditorium for days at a time, and fighting parents for rides to and from school. Listen- ing to the director scream Stay in Character, ding-dingi drove the bud- ding young stars to acts of violence or insanity. Said Brian Foster, who portrayed the King, If Mr. Low would ' ve had me fall on my head or chase another girl across that stage, I would ' ve thrown up. Matt Brad- burn, on the other hand, said, I was so bored, 1 wish I could have chased somebody! The cast, however, was not the only ones to try to survive. The stage crew had daily problems with lights, missing or broken props, and non-existent sound effects. Some effects weren ' t even set up un- til the night of the play. 1 didn ' t even know it was going to smoke un- til I got onstage, said Alan Fullhart of his wizard ' s cauldron. When it blew up on the second night, 1 wasn ' t sure what to think! All in all, the play came off fairly well, and the time came to rest up for next year ' s terror called the musical! all. Rich r hang ba ♦ % It ' s Time To Go! The day of a person ' s high school commencement is a day that most people always can remember without any difficulty! Commence- ment, 1985, was such a day for 183 seniors, who made the big step from student to adult in one short hour ceremony. The gym was filled as usual with the people who had loved and supported and encouraged those 183 young adults over the last 18 years. The soon-to-be alumni listened through the speeches and the presentations. One of the highlights of the entire event was the now-traditional slide show. Joyce Walmsley and Jeff Tomlin stirred memories and bid farewell and of- fered advice and encouragement to their classmates, and the official diplomas were finally awarded. The Reverend Crellin offered the benedic- tion, and then it was over! And the time had come! Time to hug, time to cry, time to party, but . . . most of all . . . time to go! One leads; many follow. Kim Ratcliffe, vice-president of the junior class, serves as marshall for tfie procession of graduates. The words of wisdom! Jeff Tomlin, the salutatorian, delivers his address to his classmates and the audience. 178 GRADUATION Going onward; going outward! Valedictorian Joyce Walmsley says that her class has reached another transition and that they are limited only by their own thoughts and visions. The handshake of success! Superinten dent John McBride congratulates a graduate as Mr. Dormire checks the list. Hey, we ' re not nervous! A row of graduates waits patiently through the program. GRADUATION 179 (Top left.)

Joni Bertsch pauses to sniff her rose, while Mick Bolinger seems pretty happy to be graduating. GRADIATION 181 CIp a tree? Matt Bradburn, an obviously happy graduate, continues to clinnb the Tree of Knowledge. Finally! Time For Fun! After every Commencement ceremony, the time finally comes when all the relatives have departed, all the food has been eaten, and the gifts have been opened, and — hopefully! — counted and folded! The graduate ' s parents give a sigh of relief and sink down into chairs and living room couches for a much- needed break before clean-up starts. It is at this point in the evening when the graduate begins to think about what is usually referred to as serious partying. This national teen-age custom is understood by everyone between Before and after! Carrie Cook, a 1986 grad-to-be, gives a party push to Chris Rothgeb, an old grad of 1984. the gaes of 15 and 19, and by almost no one over 40. Serious partying, contrary to what many adults think, does not always involve use of illegal materials, but does always have one very important ingredient: a lot of good times with friends. For many graduated seniors, their own party is the last time many of them will be together: college, jobs, the service — these new responsibilities will soon beckon. However, until the adult world takes hold, there ' s always gradua- tion night and time for one more party!! Say Yes to Indiana! Steve Miller and Jeff Tomlin prove that NHS graduates know good table manners, as Steve demonstrates tfie proper way to consume graduation cake. Where did this come from?? Gntoucfied refreshments reside in an anonoymous refrigerator somewhere in Wells County. Light of Knowledge! Some graduates lit a bonfire to express their burning desire for continual academic growth. The fire also came in handy for roasting marshmallows and other objects.

Love, Mom and Dad With the day lengthened and an extra period added, I knew there would be some changes in the ol ' routine at the castle. More Minutes; More Memories, was the theme I thought might depict some of the differences. Having more time in the classroom cut down many of the activities that students needed for reliei, such as pep sessions, and convocations. The memory of these disap- pointing revisions will live along with the fun of Homecoming, games, prom, and graduation. When Mrs. Adams was contracted to another school in April, I felt like we would never make it, but with dedication from the staffers it worked itself out. Putting this book together has helped me enrich and learn the value of what is impor- tant. I would like to thank the News-Banner for pictures that were heavily relied upon, along with a special thank you to Lori Wilson, who I thoroughly believe saved more staffers than just me from crisis. A special thank you also goes to Sam Habegger and Charlie Adams for cliib pics, prom and graduation. Putting to good use each minute, and cherishing the memories of the little as well as the big things, will help to convey an overall picture of what life at Norwell was really like. I wish everyone Good Luck in the future and may all your wishes come true.
