Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1985 volume:

We Dedicate Our Annual To MRS. VOn MADEn We the members of the Senior Class, present this annual to you, Mrs. Von Haden, for your many years of dedication to us as students, for your aid and wisdom, and for always having an answer when we have a question. You have not only guided us through Chaucer and Shakespeare, the Mid-West and the Middle Ages, but also through World War III and the troubled eras of Poynette High. You have been to us an extraordinary English teacher but you have also been the greatest Head Forensics coach we could ask for. You have taught us and laughed with us and corrected us when we needed it. You have been our teacher but you will always be our friend. 3 Table Of Contents Seniors 5 ATS Student 10 Underclassmen 25 Homecoming 32 Activities 37 Clubs 47 Sports 65 Administration 94 SENIORS 5 iJammy Ball, en Kristi Jarnharst Dodd Uefibau Urian Uobatb iewicx 2ori Uranidk jl y Ur aid a Brenda Urtezer Qr,9 Urown Jori Cool Janice (Crawford D)ebbie D)oberty flicL jborkorit Steplr ante 2 orman JCartn 2 unn aHori Udwardi D(ri Jim DatL 2)awn (jdbbei Cjermain WiLe Qtal em 6 $oJi.

The Student Council added a volleyball game between the guys and teachers before the Powder Puff game and instead of a movie the day before vacation, we had a variety show in which the students and teachers did the acts. This brought the teachers and students together in a fun way. (T to B; L to R) C. Rittmeyer, B. Black, H. Walker, J. Knight, L. Putney, J. Baerwolf, M. Vaningan, J. Gayan, M. tlolzman, Mr. Mason, K.

The amount of people allowed Into the library doubled. That helped the students with research papers and other things. The study rooms and the magazine areas were perhaps the most used sections. It may have gotten off to a slow start for a month but It is now appreciated greatly. Thanks to all who had a part in the new, better library. Finally, a decent Christmas treel 30 BADGER STATE Barb Hellegers and Deana Trafflcante created two political parties, set up their platforms, passed city ordinances, county laws, and proposed bills to the legislature. Tor recreation there were special interest groups. Barb was involved in Volleyball and Deana was involved In Pep Band. They had a tour of the Governor's mansion and many talks about career opportunities. On the last day they took a walk to the capitol where they held their own assembly and senate meetings. At Badger Boys State, Brent and Marc became the citizens of the badger state, first they held elections for the city positions. Marc was elected Senator and Alderman. Next came county elections. Marc was elected executive here. The rest of the week was spent attending Senate meetings and playing softball. The week was great but went too fast. ♦o FUTURE SCHOLARS JUNIOR The National Honor Society is one of the most challenging groups found in a High School. In order to join, or rather, be appointed into this elite group, you must have a grade point average between 3.S and 4.0 and maintain this achievement. You must show leadership, service, character, and intelligence. Each year, the student members put on a dinner for their teachers and parents. Another fine advantage to these students is that they are eligible for a scholarship from the club's sponsor. T-B, L-R: B. Black, J. Hayes, B. Dunn, B. Ritter, D. Asher, D. Vita, A. Hutchinson, M.

With the strong commitment and enthusiasm from its members, this goal has been attained every year. The PHS band experienced numerous sue- cesses at Solo and Ensemble competi- tions, and high acclaim for its seasonal performances. Not only was the band dedicated to their practice and perfor- mance but also to the humorous aspects of their unit. One such inside joke was the name change of the band to Orange Delight'' to Hipke Surprise . The PHS band also holds many rewards as well. The graduating band seniors would like to give a special thanks to Mr. LaValle. His direction of the band has taught us to believe in our abilities, to be dedicated, to ei joy what we do, and the great feeling of accom- plishment when we succeed. One does not only learn music in band, one learns commitment. L to R, T to B: A. Millard, S. Tomlinson, B. Breezer, A. Millard, P. Marshall, A. Wells, R. Jones, T. Teeter, W. Jones, J. LaReau, B.

BLACK ELK SPEAKS This play derives from an extraordinary source - an eyewitness account by Black Elk, a surviving participant in some of the most shattering events In our confrontation with the Indian people. Black Elk was played by Mike Gladem, who had the overwhelming task of memorizing one hundred and thirty pages of dialogue. The play was a fully costumed historical tribute to a proud people and a lingering culture that is part of America. The old men say the Earth only endures, you spoke truly, you are right.'' And we re no more than names whispered by a wind rustling a field of com on a summer night - people who lived In happiness and sorrow to become grass on these hills.

Janisch, K. Elsing, L. Knuteson. The first play was about three men who were so much alike that they couldn't even tell the difference between themselves. These three men participate in a game set up by a Dr. Henning. They are given each a separate part of the room and they are to say This is my land. It Is mine. It is beautiful, and it is mine,'' whenever a light comes on. The end of the play proves that there is a drive in all of us to get better things than what our neighbors have. THE FICKLE FORTUHE OF FATE Tour damsels are left alone on the plains. They meet up with a villain, Roscoe Desimmers- not, who Is after the world famed heirloom, the Ballistair Diamond. After many funny lines and dirty deeds, the hero, Mqjor Miles Stone, enters to save the day and fall in love with the heroine. Missy Muffet. This play was done very humour- ously. It was just part of the Drama Club's enjoyable entertainment, this year. Mow THAT'S acting! The Bump This is Mr. Teddy. so THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER The time of this play is the Civil War and its theme, in a sense, is that the wars of yesterday must not become the wars of tomorrow. An oddly assorted group of people are deeply infiired by the war. They have prepared a festive party with games and balloons for the 'unknown soldier. The young soldier arrives and in the midst of the shockish tension and strangeness, he wonders why they are being so wonderful to him. In the shocking ending, we discover the reason. This play won in the District Contest and went on to competition in the Sectional Contest. 51 SPEAKING IS OUR SPECIALTY T-B, L-R: E. Kelsey, B. Laatsch, K. Ward, M. Vaningan, K. Dunn, L. Hahne, A.

The Annual Local Art Panel came to show their work as an inspiration to all the artistic group. All in all, the club had one of its fullest years. 59 POYFIETTE'S PEPPIEST The Pep Club has had an enthusiastic seasonll This year we had a record enrollment of twenty-four persons and it is a sure bet that everyone had fun.

The advisor, although new to the school, fit in well with his experience in yearbooks elsewhere. The fact that we signed with a new company may have been a disaster but it turned out to be an advantage. The company made everything easier for everyone in the staff. Jodie Gould and Lori Cook shared the many tasks of the Editor position, even considering Jodie s departure to Australia about % of the way through. This departure showed that it was crucial to work together. The year began with a workshop that helped us to get a theme for the book. Unlocking The Future. Photo Club is a part of Annual Staff but it does some things on it's own. The group planned a trip to Appleton, Wl to a workshop led by professional photographers. They entered photos in contests around our area and learned many things about taking photos. Overall, the Photo Club and Annual Staff learned many new things that will help them in the future. They now can have the pride and accomplished feeling to say that they helped make a book of memories that will serve many people. 62 EDITORS Lori Cook Jodie Gould MEAD PMOTO GRAPMER Daved Lauretzin ARTIST DeAnn Germain . . .

The attack began slowly. The Indians lost their first three conference games. After the team's confidence and game experience developed, the girls were tough. They won all but one of the remaining conference games. The Indians tied for THIRD In conference. The season was highlighted by the last conference game victory at Green Lake. The Lakers were on the top of the conference and were pushed back to a tie for the title due to the Indians solid match. Senior co-captains Dori Branish and Michelle Redell lead the Indians. Branish received honorable mention in the conference and Jerrilee Schutz was a first-team all conference selection. The team voted Junior Jodi Baerwolf most improved player and Dori Branish most valuable player. The 1984 volleyball team's strongest asset was depth. Several players saw action during high-level competition. The areas that need to be improved upon for next year are team work and a positive team attitude. Coach Kleckner looks forward to a successful year next year with the return of several starters and the arrival of many talented J.V. players. BLACK'S BLOCKERS T. Busse, K. Page, M. Setterlund, A.

Two units of ten were formed and played on a rotating basis. For the first time Poynette was host to a first year JV Volleyball tournament. Poynette JV won the gold. A Job well done girls.

Dlsher. rrom the opening of the V.B. season in August to the close In October, the first year volleyball team showed superb improvement and good potential for upcoming V.B. seasons. Mot only did each player s skill show vast improvement, but the ability to perform together as a team also began to blossom. This later skill is what is needed to make a successful V.B. team. A highlight of the season was the terrific play at Poynette's first year V.B. Tournament. The girls worked together and fought off several J.V. level teams to conquer third place in the tournament. The seeds to successful V.B. teams of the future were planted and I wish the girls the best of luck for their remaining years on volleyball. Coach Wegenke 70 FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS rrom L to R: K.

We finished with a 7 and 2 record, third place in the conference. Rich Rittmeyer and Jeff Harper made the All Dual County Conference team. A number of players made All Conference Second team, also. The seniors finished with four successful lessons and the juniors and sophomores proved that there should be more good seasons to come. 72 JUNIOR VARSITY The 1984-85 J.V. football team finished the season with an overall record of 5-4 of the 4 losses, 2 were to an excellent Deforest team. Also 5 of the 4 losses were by 7 points or less. Poynette defeated Princeton, Cambria, Par- deeville. Tall River, and Sauk Prairie. Their losses were to Randolph, Westfield, and Deforest (twice). The J.V. played a very difficult schedule. They showed that they could be competitive with schools much larger than Poynette. They had two very strong performances In a 14-0 victory over Sauk Prairie and a 6-3 loss to Deforest. The young men progressed In the develop- ment of the necessary skills to be successful on the varsity level. The J.V. program is an Important part of the overall football program. Even though their record was not quite as good as other years, the players can be proud of what they accomplished this season.

A second unusual happening was Poynette scored its first victory over Waterloo at Waterloo since playing them six years ago. Our team showed steady improvements as the season progressed and that was the key to our season. These fellows played together all year long. They didn't have any super stars and they hung in there through thick and thin. 74 Pront L to R: A. Scromovsky, M. Reeds, T. Bliefernicht, C. McNicol, J. Knight, J. Perry, B. Wells. SECOND P.

At the halfway point of the season only 1 game separated the top 7 teams. Coach Bob Tomlinson stated that it was as balanced a conference as it has been in many years. With just 5 games to play, the Indians trailed the conference leader by one game. Big crowds returned to the PHS gym as the Indians were involved In many close games. One of the highlights of the season was beating Randolph twice during the season. Randolph had been the conference favorite prior to the beginning of the season. Coach Tomlinson cited seniors Tom Kaltenberg and Bill Priske for their leadership throughout the season. Next year promises to be very exciting as 7 Junior lettermen will return to the team. 7C - J ivk y50 ' ' ) V A4} v . PIEPER'S FIGHTERS This years Junior Varsity Basket- ball season was full of surprises, the nicest of which may be their 14-5 overall record. Included in that record are wins over Evansville and Waterloo to gain the Championship at Mcrarland s Holiday Tournament. During the season, the team played in 3 overtime games. Winning them all! This was a team which never gave up on themselves, and instilled that spirit In others. In one game, in fact, Poynette trailed by 20 points and went on to win by 2 points. All members of the squad should be proud of their accomplishments. T-B, L-R: D. Qavinski, R. Tox, R. Harper, R. Haupt, R. Llpp, D. Lauretzin, C. Meredith, W. Morse. J. Hayes, K. Belshaw, R.

We are looking forward with great hope to the next season. 80 JUMP The JV team was very successful. They played well together, worked aggressively, and played hard on defense as well as offense.

This year, my first in Poynette, has provided me with new challenges and. more importantly, new opportunities. As graduating seniors, whole new worlds are also open to you. Some of you will be entering the work force, while others will be furthering their educations or joining the military. Whatever the path you have decided upon, we have one thing in common; very little will remain that is the same. With your graduation comes change. Things will not be as they were; I challenge you to face these changes with the knowledge that you are prepared for It and in control of your future. Set lofty goals for yourselves and strive to achieve them. With you goes my sincerest wish for your happiness and continued successes. r: vjL'-L To The Class of 1985; The moment of graduation from high school is an exhilarating experience for each of you. It is a success level that should be achieved by every young person. It is but a milestone, however, in a life long pursuit of learning, with great learning challenges and opportunities still ahead.

The students are making the best of these opportunities. 107 THANKS!! for making our senior year one of the best. A NOTE FROM THE EDITORS This year's Yearbook had everything going for It. The staff had a new but experienced Yearbook Advisor, Mr. Jordak, and they turned to another company. Walsworth sent a great representative, Mr. Christ Cordagon. These two people tremendously helped us, the two editors. The yearbook began in July with a workshop and ran until Its last sale In May. We, the Editors, would like to thank all the many people who helped us to ‘ stay out of straightyackets through this lengthy amount of hard work. These include the following: the photographers (for their continual support and help), the Seniors (for their cooperation with surveys and baby pictures), the Consumer Affairs teachers (for their cooperation In handing out surveys in class), the typists who helped out In a bind, those students who contributed pictures to our book, Mr. Baiistreri (for his help in sales, and finally, a special thanks to those who stayed and worked with us to put this, hopefully, memorable book together, the Staff (in particular; Arlette Wells, April Millard, Jill Peterson, Vicki Penland, Beth Talk, Cheryl Lytle, and Angela Kreisler). Good luck to the underclassmen of next year's staff. But, the best of luck to Cheryl Lytle and Angeia Kreisler, next year's Editors. 1984-1985 Pauquette Editors MEMORIES MOSTLY MAQIC B. C.
