Festivities begin the week before mid-term examinations. For seven days, the campus is alive with games and contests, some serious, some just plain fun. In 1985, bobbing for apples, Jello slurping and spoon passing joined the traditional powderpuff gridiron contest, the alumni soccer game, cross country meet and the annual Harvest Fest dinner-dance. Hawley was crushed by Herr House in the powder puff match 32-0. A touchdown toss from Nancy Dorn of Herr Houses on the third play from scrimmage set the stage for the romp. The king and queen of 1985 were Tarnue Moryan and Barbara Puckett. Other candidates were Nancy Dorn, Martha Pinick and Shellie Siehndel. Tim Doughty, Jim Fowler and Chris Peronne were also nominated for king. The 1985 Harvest Fest homecoming week was one of the best ever, ask anyone who survived. i Intensity is the essence of this move by Pirate scoring leader Jerry Sumo, a junior college transfer. page 24 Junior fullback Rusty Swarts cuts across field.

In just two short years, head coach Ben Popoola has turned Park into a national powerhouse in soccer. The 1985 edition finished with a 13-2-3 record, the third best in Park history. The two losses were to Rockhurst in the district finals and to William Jewell, a 1-0 shutout in Liberty. In addition. Park registered ties against McKendree in the season opener, Rockhurst early in the regular season and Benedictine as the year wound down. Junior forward Andy Welk was named to the All-district 16 first team and to the first team of the all-Missouri Intercollegiate team. Junior sweeperback Shawn French was also a first team all-district selection as well as a second team MIT honoree. The MIT contains players from all four-year colleges in Missouri, including some of the stronger NCAA schools in St. Louis . Senior midfielder Chris Perrone was also an all-district first team selection. In addition, senior goalkeeper Paul Dadzie, junior fullback Rusty Swarts, and senior midfielder Tarnue Moryan were second team all district selections. ' ' I was a little disappointed with the selections, ' ' said Popoola. ' ' I was expecting about four or five of my boys on the first team all-district. ' ' ' ' The players who were selected performed well and this is quite an achievement for them. ' ' Although he received no post season awards, Jerry Sumo proved to be a valuable acquisition for the Pirates. Sumo was recruited out of Hesston Kans Junior College where he was a junior college All-American. Sumo lead the Pirates in scoring with 36 points on 13 goals and 10 assists. Perrone trailed Sumo by just 10 points with nine goals and eight assists for 36. Welk was third in scoring with nine goals and three assists for 21. Sophomore midfielder Joe Lodes scored 20 points on eight goals with four assists and Neil McAulay, a junior forward, had 18 points with six goals and six assists. Both Pirate goalkeepers had goals against averages under one goal per game. Dadzie allowed just seven goals in 16 games for a .21 GAA, while junior Mark Clark allowed five goals in 11 games for a GAA of .55. Perhaps the best news was that Park lost only three starters to graduation, a sign that the prowess of the Pirate soccer squad will live on. —by Mark Kulda page 29 Volleyball page 30 Volleyball (top) Tracy Whiting, 12, gets set for a quick return, (left) Dawn Tharnish is an instant away from a slam as Barb Malon cheers.

For the women ' s volleyball team, 1985 was a year of ups and downs, according to Head Coach Dr. Larry Hurshman. Although the team finished with a record slightly below .500 (17-22), the season was a success. Hurshman had one of his best recruiting years ever, bringing in Dara Mennis, Tracy Whiting, Barb Malon, Kaaren Fife, and Nicki Johnson to add to his already strong core of Dawn Tarnish, Inger Scherer and Cathy Straka. An early season injury to Straka forced Hurshman to call on his younger players for support. ' ' The girls tried hard, but they ' re young, ' ' said Hurshman. ' ' You ' d expect a team with four starting freshmen to not do as well as one with more experience. ' ' Despite its youth, the squad registered several accomplishments. They finished second in both the Ozark Collegiate Conference Tournament and in the Penn Valley Community College Tourney. Park also was seeded second in the Rockhurst Tournament by winning all four preliminary matches, but then lost to lowly West¬ minster in the quarterfinals. Ironically, the Pirates had already beaten Westminister in the prelims. Park had the distinction of holding two simultaneous conference memberships, one in the Ozark Collegiate Conference and the other in the Missouri Women ' s Athletic Conference. Tharnish was named to first team all-conference sel ections in both the OCC and the MWAC, while Mennis made OCC first team all conference. ' ' Dawn did an outstanding job for us this season, ' ' said Hurshman. ' ' She ' s an awesome middle hitter who hits with as much authority as I ' ve ever seen. ' ' Hurshman also praised Shari McFate and Debra Turner for adding some much needed depth to the team. Although the Pirates were out experienced against most opponents throughout the season, they had the determination to make 1985 a year of success at Park College. — by Mark Kulda Photograph above: Tracy Whiting demonstrates desire... page 33 Tim Donnelly and Jim Fowler took the long way home for spring break, attempting the 315 mile trek to Donnelly ' s hometown, Herculaneum, Mo.

They were guided by just one returning starter, senior Randy Hundley. Action under the Pirate bucket, however, was furious as these photographs illustrate. Men’s Basketball _ Scenes from the alumni game, a traditional Pirate tune-up for the rigors of the hoop. As usual, the 1985 alumni hung tough and lost. page 38 I r Men’s Basketball TERRIBLE TWOS... The 1985-86 Park College Men ' s basketball squad was epitomized by the terrible twos.” Too few players, too little height, and too many defeats . The Pirates completed the year with a 6-23 record, despite losing nine games by five or fewer points. Park returned only two starting players from the previous campaign, but one, junior Andy Welk was injured during the soccer season and never regained his starting position. The other returner. Senior Randy Hundley went on to lead the team in scoring and rebounding. In addition, the team ' s captain and only graduating senior was named to the All-Ozark Collegiate Conference second team, All-District Honorable mention and team most valuable player. Sophomore Doug Hoffman, a Parkville native, transferred to Park from Kansas City, Kansas Community Junior College and earned a spot as Park ' s starting point guard. He led the team in field goal percentage and assists and was named to the All—Ozark Conference Honorable Mention. Park ' s other transfer student, junior John Wilson from Penn Valley Community College, also earned a starting spot, but as a forward, Wilson was second in scoring and rebounding and led the team in steals. He was voted top defensive player. The Pirates ' extremely talented freshman corps included starting forward Gary Wesemann, who starre at Pleasant Valley High School and was one of Missouri ' s leading scorer during his senior year, played much of the season with nagging knee injuries, but still managed to score almost 1 . points per game. Walker teamed up with Rod Jordan to supply the Pirates somi excellent backups at the guard spots. —By Mark Kulda page 39 : Women’s Basketball Sandy Sharon (right) crosses the key looking inside no doubt for a shooter named Nancy, (below) Cynthia Wallace drives the paint as Sondra Ellis and Karen Epps look for the bound. page 40 Women’s Basketball Sondra Ellis (above) moves tough to the bucket. Cynthia Wallace (right) pulls up to shoot against Evangel. page 41 Women’s Basketball The 1985-86 women ' s basketball team began the season with a new head coach, new players and a new milestone. The squad finished the season with an even record, a chance at the district playoffs, and the fifth leading scorer in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics history. The 12-12 record, a season¬ closing loss to Southwest Baptist spoiled the shot at district playoffs, and Nancy Dorn rolled into fifth place in NAIA history. After losing their first seven games of the year, the Lady Pirates put together a four-game win streak, all at home, to improve their record to 4-7. Park then lost three more in a row, falling to 4-10. At that point, an amazing thing happened: the season turned around! Dorn was nearing the coveted 2,000 point mark and the lady hoopsters responded by winning six games in a row to improve to 10-10, all this with only eight players on the roster. Just before the last game of the year, the Pirates found out they had a remote chance at making the playoffs. A William Jewell win coupled with a victory by Park would give the squad the final qualifying position. Both the Pirates and the Cardinals lost, however, and the season ended all too early. —By Mark Kulda page 43 4 Make no mistake.

Rundle opened the movie to a wide audience of Park students and faculty in April with an encore performance in May. Rundle, a senior, used the project as his final project in television practicum II. ' ' It ' s set in the future and it ' s sort of theo¬ logical science fiction, ' ' Rundle says. ' ' It ' s about what the world might be like if the kingdom of God is es tablished. ' ' It was not the first time Rundle put time intf the project. He once started making the movie on super 8 mm film, once on sound super 8 mm film and once on half-inch video tape. This time he used three-quarter inch industrial video tape. Although Rundle began shooting in October, he had already put over 100 hours into the movie. He wrote the script in March and April 1985. ' ' Film is what I ' ve always had in the back of my mind ' ' he says. ' ' If I don ' t make it in film. I ' ll fall back on tele¬ vision. It ' s a choice between something I love and something I love.

Senior Chris Perrone after entering the meet with the fastest time in the NAIA and the slowest time in the qualifying prelim¬ inaries, took the lead of the men ' s 3,000-meter steeple chase with just over 200 meters to go and became Park ' s first ever national track champion. He was clocked at 9:08.16, a school record. Seniors Mark Gregory and Dave Moore qualified for semi-final action by taking fourth in their respective preliminaries of the 800 meter, but both took seventh in the semi-finals. Other national qualifiers were Matt Hart in the pole vault, Jon Gerlach in the pole vault and long jump, John Vest in the 1,500 meter, Wayne Schope in the discus, and Martha Bingle and Genesia Livingston in the high jump. —By Mark Kulda Senior Mark Gregory Gregory was an NAIA takes the baton.

Funeral services for Dorsey Woods will be at 3:30 p.m. today in the Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel on the College campus with Dr. John Patton, professor emeritus at Park, and the Rev. Thomas Jones Jr., pastor of Washington Chapel CME Church officiating. Woods, who had been employed in many capacities with Park Col¬ lege the past 42 years was found dead in his car Monday morning in a College dorm parking lot. Death was attributed to natural causes. Known to everyone as. Dorsey, he was a native of Parkville and left only for Army service during World War II. A graduate of the old Banneker school, he worked for the Vawter Grocery from 1941-43 when he joined the Park College staff. Dorsey, 59, 6 W. 12th in Parkville, had worked in the Col¬ lege kitchen, cooked, mowed the steep hillsides, painted, set the clock in the Mackay Hall tower, supervised the mail room, refinish¬ ed furniture, and “always” readied Graham Tvler Chapel for Commencement. Most recently, he had worked at the Thompson Commons. Park presented him a 40-year, pin and certificate in 1983, and the Park College Student Association presented him a special award at the Honors Day program in 1982. A bachelor, Dorsey lived with his mother until her death several years ago.
