A steady downpour looked threatening to Tiger fans, but did not dampen their spirits. Hundreds of students sporting bumper stickers and buttons which screamed I Love the Tigers filled the stadium at Enlow Field to capacity and dared the rain to continue. It didn ' t. Memorial students had definite style. Style was not limited to week- ends only. On school days, Memorial students showed a unique style by respecting the required dress code. I guess I never thought of my uniform skirt and white blouse as ' style, ' said Junior Julie Brubaker. I ' d certainly never wear it in public, but I guess it does put students on the same level during school. That makes us unique. On Halloween, students in Mr. Hupfer ' s math analysis and calculus classes put aside their uniforms and masqueraded as (conbnued) JpenmQ I O Embracing the spirit ghouls and goblins for the evening. They received extra credit points for trick-or-treating in style at his house. Seniors came together during Homecoming Week to build the traditional float. They borrowed napkins from cooperative restaurants for the project. We realized we had to forget our differences and work together on the float to accomplish what we set out to do, said Senior Andrea Wahl. For the most part, I think everyone got along all right, but there were some disagreements. In their second year as a working team, Principal Gerry Adams and Assistant Principal Linda Eberhard welcomed the largest freshmen class in several years. The administration set some standards and expectations for students which required nothing short of the pursuit of perfection. But the classes stayed together. 1986 was kind of special for the administration because they would be presenting Memorial ' s 1 0,000th {continued) O LJpeninq Leaving the lazy, hazy days behind, Seniors Julie Hirsch, Lee Ann Rothschild and Katnna Schymik savor the sunshine one last time before the begin- ning of school.

The school itself, with its digni- fied arches and rustic design, was undergoing a style change. A chapel created by Architect Rupert Condict was transformed from two rooms on the first floor into a quiet place to pray or just sort out thoughts. We wanted a chapel that was totally different from the rest of the school, so that when a student walked in, he could get away from all the pressures of the school day. explained Father Tom. As the year passed before their eyes, seniors looked toward graduation with muddled emotions and fond reflection. They planned Memorial ' s second Project Gradu- ation, a chemical-free party given in their honor. When Memorial students were set loose on Evansville, they didn ' t just become involved, they did it together. And they did it with style. Wpening iy TOGETHER Within the hallowed halls of school, lurks the unique blending of students which makes Memorial. Together has always been a tradition at Memorial, and our pride is plain to see. Togetherness can be seen throughout Memorial. During the school day we are found laughing in the halls, exchanging notes between classes, or doing homework with friends in the library. After the bell rings we can be seen cheering in the stands or winning on the field and court. It is not difficult to recognize us as what we are: Memorial students. Tiger togetherness is also ex- perienced as we come together in the auditorium for Mass. We live our faith as we give of ourselves in such projects as Operation Merkel and the canned food drive. Nothing short of extraordinary can describe the efforts of Memorial students as we join together for a common goal.

The season opener against Henderson County was the Tigers only loss of the season. 12 S. s there life after Memorial? This question was soon answered following the official release of some 800 students from Memorial High School. Ties, uniforms, and books were replaced by shorts, bikinis, and beach towels as Tigers prepared to face the endless opportunities of summer. Many students headed straight for the beaches or poolsides to work on the ultimate savage tan. A few even managed to turn their sun worshipping into a small profit while lifeguarding. I started lifeguarding near the end of summer and not only had some spending money coming in, but had fun doing it, commented Junior Mary ummer soars in style Keller, who worked at Williams- burg on the Lake. It ' s a good way to get that ' back-to- school ' tan. A popular way to break from the heat was a dip in the pool. While some swimmers worked on improving their backstroke or water polo skills, others concentrated on their diving forms. Swimming, just for the sake of swimming isn ' t much of a challenge. That ' s why we dove for golfballs. Who knows, it may be in the Olympics one day, stated Junior Amy Wannemuehler and Senior Stacey Straeffer. Summer nights, however, were another story. Putt-Putt always offered challenging recreation along with bowling topped off by pizza snarfing. A relaxing alternative to these physical activities was a movie, usually on a Monday or Tuesday cheapie night. All too quickly summer start- ed drawing to a close catching many tanned Tigers off guard. A few, however, were pre- pared since they had spent some of their summer beauti- fying the school for their class- mates. It was a lot of work, but it was also fun. You got a chance to see how the school had changed, especially the chapel, before anyone else, remarked Sophomore Joe Honningford. He, along with a few other students did odd jobs around school this summer such as painting rooms, sweeping floors, wash- ing walls, and other general clean-up jobs. The sizzling summer of ' 85 allowed the rest and relaxation needed to get a good start on the excitement a new school year. Getting a jump on the volleyball game. Senior Mark Dietsch returns a serve.

A wave of anticipation could be felt as ' fans awaited the name of the 1985 Football Homecoming Queen. Curiosity reigned among the queen candidates, however. I was anx- ious to see who would win, but I didn ' t think it would be me, admit- ted winner Julie Diehl. The first thing I thought when they said my name was — I have to kiss David! Julie ex- plained that she was only embarrass- ed because so many people were in the stands. My mom and my grandma were in the crowd and plus every- one else was watch ing. In response to this, Julie got a very short kiss which surprised the crowd. David said he had to con- centrate on the game. He — didn ' t want anything to distract him. Besides, she added, he wanted the kiss to be sweet. Freshmen court members are Katie_ Ziemer and Lori Harmon. Kelly Howard and K.C. Schlacter represent the Sophomore class.

We tried tocomeup with new and origi- nal activi- ties to get as many students as possible, but it was tough, ex- plained Senior Bob IVlehringer who was the chair- man of the Homecom- ing Activi- ties Com- mittee. While most stu- dents were getting pepped up for the game through activities, many sen- iors seized the oppor- tunity to rest up after a long night of floatbuild- ing. They wanted to be in top form for dancing the night away following the game. H omecoming Activities 17 Attempting to beat the odds. Junior John Wahnsiedler goes for a strike. Bowling required a great deal of con- centration on form. Senior Doug Ripperger offers some assistance to Senior David fJliles who is having trouble coming to ghps with the ball. Weekend basketball games were an active outlet for excess energy. Selecting just the right bowling ball is a must for Junior James Noyes. This was a popular year ' round weekend activity. 18 We 48 hours of freedom Once every five days Memorial students were faced with an intriguing dilemma: How to make the most of their weekends. In order to make the most of those few precious hours, careful planning was a must. My fhends and I usually started talking about what we were going to do over the weekend during school on Friday, commented Sopho- more Angle Moore. Despite the limited amount of things to do around Evans- ville, students remained un- daunted. When I wanted a good laugh I usually went bowling with some of my friends, remarked Junior John Wahnsiedler. I ' ve knocked down quite a few pins in my time. Other ways to spend time as well as money consisted of dancing the night away at one of the ' young adult night- clubs , either the Victory or Alhombra. If cutting a rug wasn ' t the thing to do, maybe buying one was. Many hours were spent shopping or just hanging out at Eastland Mall. Movies were also a popular nocturnal activity. Thanks to VCRs, homes became com- fortable movie theatres. ' A night at the movies could con- sist of anything from the tradi- tional movie theater viewing complete with authentic movie popcorn to relaxing in an easychair, or munching on microwave popcorn with four or five close, personal friends. Whatever the activity, weekends were a welcome break. It presented the oppor- tunity to have fun with friends outside of school or just to catch up on sleep lost to study- ing. Freshmen Roxanna Crowe and Jenny Swanson check out some movies for evening viewing pleasure. VCRs enabled students to save money by renting movies. We 719 c hapel offers retreat Amid the hus- tle and bustle of Memorial High School, solitude was hard to find. The newly built chapel provided just a place, however, It was not only meant for prayer but somewhere students and faculty alike could come just to reflect, stated Father Tom Kessler, chaplain. Though the idea had been around for quite some time, the actual building began over the summer. The funds for the chapel came solely from donations, remarked Brother Eugene. ' Architect Rupert Condict volunteered his services to design the chapel. Two rooms were uniquely rennovated into the spiritual center. Masses throughout the year were held on Wednesdays after school and Fnday before school. Special masses were also held for sports teams before important games. I thought the masses gave the team a sense of together- ness, observed Senior co- captain of the football team, Shawn Young. They were ' cool ' ! 1 ■ ' ' i i ' -m A quiet atmosphere was always provided by the chapel. Senior Michelle Pulcini lakes advantage of the serene environment during her spare time. 20 C hapel Deep in thought. Senior Jeff Marx reflects on the day ' s events. The chapel was open throughout the day to allow students to pray privately. Teachers and students alike enjoy a prayerful moment at mass in the chapel. l 1asses were held regularly on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons.

Cyndi earned spare money working at the Limited. 22 Jc all lures employees A major oc cupation for Memorial students was spending money. As a result jobs had to be found. When it came to searching for that money- making venture, Eastland Mall was bombarded by nearly every junior and senior. I applied at the mall be- cause I knew I ' d never have to work too late, admitted Maureen Blankenship, senior. I knew that the stores close at nine o ' clock so I would be home by ten at the latest.

The work was pretty easy, too, she added. Another senior, Lissa Behme, had still other reasons for seeking employment at Eastland. I started out work- ing at Foxmoor and then changed to Maurices, ex- plained Lissa. Because of my previous experience, I started at $3.55 an hour, and I now make $3.75! She also liked the idea of working at a clothing store. Not only do I get a discount on my clothes, but I get some valuable experience, she said. I don ' t plan to work at Maurices all my life, but my work training can lead me into other careers such as fashion merchandising. Senior Kelly Warren also found the money to be tempt- ing. However, her main reason for applying in the mall was it ' s location. The mall is close to everything. It ' s so convenient to work at a place that ' s close to my house as well as every- thing on Greenriver Road.

Fortunately students did not always have to spend $4.00 on a movie or sit at home and pick lint off their clothes. Ever so often a class or an organization would sponsor an informal dance to raise money for a certain cause. We col- I e c t e d about 400 cans and $200.00 for the canned food drive at the canned food dance , comment- ed Mr. Sch- u 1 1 h e i s , the spon- ser of the Student Council. Fresh- men soon learned that the Memorial cafeteria served a purpose other than a place to dine for 23 minutes. On a given Friday or Saturday night it was trans- formed into the Memorial Dancehall. These dances provided an opportunity for students to socialize outside of school. I thought the best part was getting together with my friends and acting crazy, Boys, and many others. As one sophomore put it, Dances were a great excuse to inconspicuously check out and possibly even talk to that person you ' ve had a crush on for quite a while. Singing along with Billy Idol, freshman Lon Crane moves with the beat. The music was often enhanced by light shows. Responding to the beat. Seniors David Miles. Lynne Wallander. and Kelly Warren enjoy the canned food dance. Admission to the dance in- cluded two canned foods plus $1.00. 24 1 nformal dance Letting loose.

To celebrate these romantic events Memorial offered three formal dances. The Christmas dance provided an excellent opportunity for a guy to take that special girl out for a nice dinner followed by a little danc- ing. It was really nice going out for dinner, then to the- dance. I had a great time. commented Junior Brian Holtz. With the appearance of chocolate hearts dnpping with sweet sayings came the Valentine ' s dance. This time it was the girls who did the asking and the treat- ing. Fresh- man Wen- dy Berger remarked, I liked having a chance to ask the guy out for a change. Spring brought with it the biggest dance of the year, at least for juniors and seniors — the prom. Excitement was in the air that night. Juniors Alan Benninglield and Jan Williams could have danced the night away at the Valentine ' s dance. This dance gave the girls a chance to ask their favorite guy. Fruit punch provides refreshment lor Seniors April VanBuren and Katrina Schymik.

Classes also got a chance to exhibit their agility and strength through pyramid building and a tug-of-war con- test. Coach Rich Risemas wound things up with a pre- _game pep talk aimed primarily at the students. The more fan support we have, the better we ' ll do!

This partic- ular statement could refer to any of the many sports or other extra-curricular activities offered at tvlemorial. There is one minor difference, however, this particular activity has to be perfected and performed on only two separate dates. The dates this year happened to be April 25 and 26, at which time the public was invited to come and enjoy Some Enchanted Evening at Memorial. Actually this is a musical review, commented Mr. Alan Woodruf, drama director. I chose it, mainly, so more people could get involved as far as solos and leading characters were concerned. While this presented some students with an excellent opportunity to become a thief for an evening by stealing the show, it was also great for those who just enjoyed being on stage. Sophomore Anne Morgan who played the role of Mother Superior remarked, I love to act! Even if I don ' t happen to get a major part I ' d still love it. The reason I enjoy it so much is, like most people, I love the attention! Tve always been interested in acting. Normally I ' m a pretty shy person, and acting gives me a chance to come out of my shell ' through another person, sai d Freshman Steve Creech who played one of the narrators. After all the hours of long, hard practice were over and the applause had ended, cast members were still reliving it in their minds. The applause may fade, but those few moments of fame won ' t, stated Anne. Hitting the higti note. Freshman Neel Eargod, practices to the accompany- ment of Mr. Alan Woodruff.

Musical 31 s eniors face good-bys As freshmen said good-by to their greenie year and juniors prepared to be the big men on campus, the class of ' 86 got ready to go out and face the real world. They were preparing for graduation. Graduation announce- ments were ordered through the bookstore while seniors were measured for caps and gowns. But along with the ceremony, the celebration was also on the agenda. Project graduation, a chemi- cal free party on the night of baccalaureate, was in the works. Meetings began in the fall for the party which would take place in May. This year we went with the slumber party theme, said senior Katrina Schymik. As chairperson of the decorations committee, Katrina decided to decorate with stars and moons to add to the atmosphere. We have to work around a budget of $230. That should be plenty for decorating the YMCA, ' she concluded. But after all the partying was over, seniors realized what they were up against. Al- though 90% of the graduates planned to further their educa- tion, others went to work. I ' m not going to college when I graduate. I plan to work on the family farm, stated Albert Durcholz, senior. He will follow in his brothers ' footsteps and carry on the family tradition. Kelly Effinger, representing the majority, hopes to attend Indiana University. My sister went there and liked it a lot, she said. That influenced me as well as the fact that they have a good business school. Even though seniors griped about government articles and research papers, the majority admitted that Memorial would be hard to leave. Friends would be missed and changes would occur. As Albert said, I ' ll be glad to get out into the real world. It will be a nice change. I just hope I can adjust. 32 Gr Seniors Shawn Young and Maureen Blankenship check out Murray State University with a representative.

Striving for perfection Seniors Susan Nord and Elyse Dilger practice kicks at Tigerette tryouts. These girls were selected as 2 of the 24 regulars on the squad. ' rganizations TOGETHER A nervous freshman fidgeted in his hard seat on the first day of school. The biting question arose: What will I do at Memorial? How can I be involved? Students found that joining clubs and special interest groups helped them escape the monotony of the school day, and made them feel at home at Memorial. The gothic, aging school actual- ly did become home to some activity-minded Tigers. The Student Council rolled out of their beds a little earlier on Wednesdays to make it to the 7:00 meetings. The choir, band, and Tigerettes also learned to see in the dark when they worked to achieve a performance perfection. To avoid constant club confu- sion, Memorial administrators scheduled a weekly Activity Period, which promoted larger memberships and better atten- dances. Newspaper and yearbook staffs often stayed after school until the sun set (and were there when it rose) to meet deadlines. It took a unique style of students to run the organizations. But together, they knew, they could do it all. Jamming at practice, Senior Nicl Hamiiton accom- panies the band. Nicl played the bass guitar for the musical Tigers. V rganizations OO Smiling briglitly, Senior choreog- rapher Elaine Rice dances to the music. Elaine helped to choreograph over six new dances.

The Tigerettes pertormed at half-time. Discipline Pays Off Sparkling half-time attrac- tions at home basketball games were always attention getters. Dressed in uniforms equipped with pon-poms on their shoes and bleached white gloves on their hands, the Tigerettes provided Memorial students with danc- ing entertainment. This year ' s choreographers, Seniors Elaine Rice and Michele Edwards and Junior Trisha Seib prepared them- selves for hard work by attend- ing a drill team camp at Indiana University from July 24 to 27. We learned a few new dances, but more importantly the camp taught us how to dis- cipline the squad and be orga- nized, stated Trisha. Early morning and after school practices were a major part of the Tigerettes ' dis- cipline. During these prac- tices, the girls learned new dances for songs such as The Bird , ' Boogie Down , and Jump . The Tigerettes also added a new look to their Christmas performance which included bells on their shoes, Santa Claus hats, and a dance to Sleigh Ride. Although thj girls were not involved in any fundraisers that benefitted them directly, they did help the Band and Colorguard in their Annual Fruit Sale. o rganizations 37 Acting as Santa Claus for the French club at the Language party.

Seniors Mary Trapp, Tony Head, Scott Hollingsworth, and Alan Reising and Spanish teacher Brenda Craig sing ' Cascabeles or Jingle Bells. Approximately 90 students attended the party. Tradition tal es all Although each language club had separate ideas and goals for the year, they all three joined together for the annual language club Christ- mas Party. Each club present- ed an aspect of Christmas from their respective coun- tries. For the Spanish Club, Seniors Tony Head, Scott Hollingsworth, and Alan Reis- ing portrayed the three wise men. In Latin America, the Spanish children believe that the wise men bring them gifts on the Epiphany. Scott, Alan, and I were stereotyped as the wise men, joked Tony. We ' re really not that wise. The Spanish club also had a pihata, a tradition at all holidays in Spain. All the clubs had traditional desserts from their countries for students to sample. We had to translate our own recipes for our dishes, explains French student Anissa Carnal. We were lucky everything turned out ainght. St. Nicholas was ine special guest star for the German club. fvlr. fVlace Brauchia borrowed an old costume and portrayed St. Nick. I think all the work and planning that went into the party paid off, said German club member.

The Spanish club made a profit of $25 on the first bake sale of the year. Language Clubs show style Meeting during activity periods, the language clubs planned a wide variety of events for its members. The Spanish club, spon- sored by Miss Brenda Craig, sent gift boxes to the Honduran Refugee children containing such items as toothbrushes, and other necessities. A hayride was also planned but due to the weather, it was canceled with hopes of rescheduling. ' I think it ' s great that the Spanish club has made an effort to help the Latin American children, stated Senior Tony Head, co- president. It is the most worthwhile thing we ' ve done in a long time. In addition to Tony, the Spanish Club officers were Seniors Sara Wannemuehler, co-president; Mary Trapp, secretary; and Julie Braddock; treasurer. The Oktoberfest was the main event for the German club, along with the exchange program in Osnabrueck, Germany. Mrs. Penny Under- wood, the German clu b sponsor, explained, The Oktoberfest is basically a celebration of the coming of fall. It usually takes place the last week of September or the first week in October. The German club had about ninety students participating this year with officers being Seniors Joe Cook, president; John Sasse, vice-president; Katrina Schymik, secretary- treasurer; and Susan Nord, activities chairman. The French Club planned a French Festival that was held in the spring. Bake sales were tempting fundraisers accord- ing to Senior Leslie Remien, club president. I am really ex- cited about the French club this year because we have a lot of students who want to get involved! The French club officers along with Leslie were Jackie Hagan, Co-president and Freshman Andy Miller, Secretary-treasurer. Joan Vickery served as sponsor. 40 O rganizations European dance craze. The Chicken was a favorite activity at the German club OI toberfest. Nearly 50 students showed for the annual event.

I think that the Color Guard is what adds showmanship to our routines, stated N lrs. fvlarcia Laird, Band and Color Guard director. There were twelve members in the Color Guard this year, all of them going through pre-tryouts and tryouts in order to be a member. Along with the Color Guard, the band had a lot of requirements also. Practice took place every morning at 6:45 a.m. and two nights a week from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Band camp at Oakland City College was also a necessity. According to the band members, the hard work paid off. They performed in con- tests throughout the year plac- ing second three times and was also named Best Percus- sion and Flag Corp. Senior Theresa Tucker, Drum fvlajor said, Performing better helps to make us more of a family so we all work as hard as possible to perform as best as we can. o rganizations 43 One of the Art Club ' s many projects was designing a tree for tfie Chris- tmas Expo.

The officers were Sophomores Tom Donahue and Joe Honnigford and Senior Shan Watson On 49 Students are willing National Honor Society and Mayor ' s Youth Council were both organizations that not only worked to help the school, but the community as well. National Honor Society is a nationwide organization for senior Honor students. Stu- dents accepted into N.H.S. were required to participate in service projects throughout the city and also help in school projects. As well as volunteering in Operation Merkel, I spent my time tutoring students needing help in math, stated Senior Dan Braker, president. The faculty advisors for N.H.S. were Brother John Stout and Sister Margaret Quinlan. In addition to Dan, student officers this year were Jeanette Brockman, vice- president; and Leslie Remien, secretary-treasurer. Mayors Youth Council was predominantly occupied with projects such as SADD and WISH. After the 1985-86 school year, the council decided to finish up their part in the SADD program and left it to the schools throughout the city to carry on. Their new project was WISH, which helped out with giving terminally ill children their wishes. The Memorial students in- volved in Mayors Youth Council were Sophomores Stacey Buehner and Joe Honnigford; Juniors Lori Koet- ting, Stacey Muelhbauer, and Joey Williamson; and Seniors Elyse Dilger, Elaine Rice, secretary, and Ellen Ziemer, vice-president. Planning the MYC directory, Senior Elaine Rice, Junior Lori Koetting and advisor Ann Widener work together to put it together.

Strong black coffee and soothing eyedrops became their constant com- panions when homework piled up and time fell short. The 42 credits required for graduation, along with a minimum schedule of six classes per semester, kept students hopping. Last-minute cramming for a chemistry exam or a government quiz was not unusual. More helpful to students, however, were the study sessions at a friend ' s house. Two brains are always better than one was the unspoken motto. Tutors, members of the National Honor Society, were also available to those students who needed help in a weak subject. Five new teachers were welcomed into Memorial ' s family. Mrs. Doris DaRosa, Mrs. Mary Goedert, Mrs. Sandra Lasher, Mrs. Joann Volz, and Mr. Gregg Wilson saw the year through freshman eyes. As the greenies hunted lost corridors looking for classes, seniors strutted. Graduation plans were made through bouts and battles of that inevitable infection called senioritis. Not everyone was an Einstein at Memorial. But working together for success in achievements proved to people that we had style. Catching a few z ' s seems to be more appealing to Junior Jackie Brockman than listening to an explanation on the Quadratic formula.

Mr. Brauchla sparked interest with chemistry demonstrations throughout the year S-l-X is how Brent Mahoney spells relief as he checks out his chemistry test scores. Students found cramming suited their studying style best. Academics OO Theology inspires students Theology courses at Memorial were a lot more than memorizing the Ten Commandments and the Apostles ' Creed. Classes included such topics as morality and lifestyles. Since four credits in theology were required for graduation, students got in- volved in the program. After four years of theology, Senior Julie Hirsh concluded, Theology not only taught me what the church is but it helped me find out who I am and it strengthened my relationships. The teachers got involved with students, also. Deacon Dave Franklin said, My favorite thing about teaching theology is meeting so many really nice people. I love to see them question their values as they try to grow up. Theology was a new experience for some people, particularly those who came from public schools. Coming from a public school, I ex- pected theology to be mostly about rules, but it taught me a lot about myself and ways to deal with people, said Lori Harmon, freshman. Lessons learned in theology were guidelines that students could follow throughout their lives. Freshmen enjoy a short sermon in the new chapel. The chapel was a much needed addition where students could meet and have private prayer. 54 T heology As he defines theology to a group of new students. Deacon Dave Franklin begins a new semester, fvlr. Franklin ' s theology classes discussed a wide variety of topics.

Anger and frustration, along with the stench of sulfur, lingered in the air of the hallways in the new wing. Students noses would tell them that science classes were again expehmenting with something that they never have to use again in their lives. I still don ' t understand why we have to learn some of this, groaned Freshman Marc Neidig. Teachers viewed it differently. Hardly anyone in here is ever going to read an NMR or an IR (types of electron motion graphs). I teach processes of logic that students can use to solve problems in everyday life, said Mr. Mace Brauchia, chemistry and advanced chemistry teacher. Teachers in the science department worked in different ways to tie biology, chemistry, and physics in to the students ' lives. Getting students to think and apply knowledge to various situations was a common goal. ' I ' m trying to emphasize being logical to help students think on their own, said Mr. Alan Woodruff, biology, advanced biol- ogy, and introductory physical science teacher. ' We do exercises in making moral decisions to help them develop values that can be applied to biology and science for their futures. I ' m glad we ' re doing the moral dilemma labs. I ' d never take the time to think about things like that on my own, said Jim Dennis, senior. Knowledge is useless if you don ' t know how to apply it, said Mrs. Deborah Funk, physics teacher. The students get a new perspective on everyday things that are usually taken for granted . . . batting a baseball or taking a ride on a roller coaster. It makes me think twice about things now, and I think I understand them better, said senior Susan Nord. Andy Kriegel. freshman, receives assistance from Miss Kattiy Becl during tiis first IPS lab.

These are the questions that Brother Eugene believed Memorial ' s social studies de- partment should seek to answer. It is our goal to give the students a sense of community perspective, said Brother Eugen, head of the social studies department, so that as adults they will know how to behave, perform and change in society. Who is man was explained in anthro- pology, sociology, and psychology classes. These courses, said Brother, are for those students with the ability and desire to pursue university levels in these sciences and other related fields. What has he achieved was demon- strated in world history, U.S. history, advanced history, and current events. Brother said that world history helps students to understand the people of all Copiously taking notes on the Civil War. Junior Earnie Menweather prepares for the following day ' s history test.

Freshmen in Mr. Scott Bauer ' s world history classes were required to give a speech on a famous person in history. ages and times, while U.S. history con- centrates on America ' s heritage. He added that the social studies department hoped to enrich all those who take the course by showing them how problems began, thus better equipping the students to deal with them. I liked doing my biography on Henry VIII. It was interesting to read about him and all his wives because it was like a soap opera, said freshman world history student Katie Ziemer. What might he still become was ex- plored in American problems, psychol- ogy, sociology, citizenship and econom- ics. We had to buy a car for a simulation, so I bought a $42,000 Porsche. This project gave me better understanding of the responsibilities of buying a car, said senior economics student Scott Stratt- ■r 58 H istory Checking his pencil for a sharp point. Junior Robert Bennett sets up his bool s to work on his Anthropol- ogy assignment. Anthropology was an elective class offered to juniors and seniors.

Trying to comprehend all of the information that is given to them in Anthropology each day, Senior Albert Durcholz and Junior Amy Sasse reorganize their notes. The basis of the Anthropology class was to teach students the theories of evolution. History vDC Illustrating a point, author Richard Peck lectures to English students.

Advanced composition students needed thirty sources for their term papers. 60 E ngllsh Literature brings tradition To be or not to be? was only one of many questions Brother John Stout posed to his literature class students. Brother John taught American, English, and dramatic literature. Although I can ' t get through to everyone, I love to get some students interested in classic litera- ture, admitted Brother John. The English courses offered at Memorial were not all literature. Sopho- mores and seniors were required to take a composition class. Some students even prefered composition. I enjoy writing more than reading literature because I think it ' s fun to be creative, said Millie Wedel, sophomore. After four years of English, many Sending best wishes. Brother John ' s literature students sign the traditional birthday card for William Shakespeare. April 23. 1986 was the 422nd anniversary of William ' s birth. seniors had mixed emotions. I ' m glad that four years of English are required to graduate, because that is the only thing that kept me taking it. Looking back on it, I ' ve learned countless things, said Lee Ann Rothschild, senior. Senior Alan Reising summarized similarly, ' Although English was often bohng, I ' m confident it has prepared me well for college. As students passed through the English programs at Memorial, traditions were formed. There are several things that I do every year, but my favorite is celebrating William Shakespeare ' s birthday, said Brother John. nglish Math challenges students With mathematics and technology being stressed for today ' s students, Memorial ' s math department has placed a greater emphasis on its math courses. We ' re planning a lot of new additions to the math program for next year, said Mr. Randy Hupfer, chairman of the math department, and we are trying a few ex- perimental things this year. Math teachers at Memorial try to make the work reasonably difficult in their classes to bring out the talent in their better students. We are trying to focus more on our advanced students than before, added Mr. Hupfer, and expand our program to cater to the more gifted students. Students at Memorial find that math classes are hard, but still many of them are enrolled because they either like it, or they think it will better prepare them for college math courses. Sophomore Susan Meyers said, I don ' t really like math, but I think it ' s something I ' m going to need ex- perience in. Senior Shah Hirsh said, The advanced classes are run like college classes and I think it ' s really going to be a boost for me when I get to college. As computers become more necessary for our daily existence, math teachers stress more computer literacy. We are trying to integrate computer software into the math program, said Mrs. Becky Nimnicht, applied math, geometry, and advanced algebra teacher. Junior Het Labhart said, Sometimes I just sit at the computer and practice math problems for something to do. Delving into the targe quantity ot calculus prooiems assigned for homework, Senior Andy Manion writes down an important formula.

Explaining a difficult geometry proof problem, Mr. Randy Hupfer helps Juniors Jennifer Albrecht and Keir Boyd understand a theorem covered during lecture. Geometry was a required course for gradu- ation from Memorial. Math 63 Lifters seek various goals Not all weightlifters turn out to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, students who enrolled in Mr. Ralph Weinzapfel ' s weightlifting class had a lot to show for their efforts. As the semester goes on, I ' m increas- ing the amount of weight I can lift, said Junior Kim Nalley. I feel like I ' m getting much stronger and more physically fit. Weightlifting has not always been a class at Memorial. Before, it has always been an activity in the physical education classes. This year, however it was also offered as a class for credit. I needed to do something to keep in shape, said Senior Matt Hawes, and I like getting credit for it at the same time. Some of the students use weight train- ing to lose weight, others to gain weight. Some of them use it for body development Stressing excellent form, Junior Het Labhart leans against the wall while doing curls. Weightlifting class was a new addition to the program at Memorial. and to increase strength, said Coach Weinzapfel, weight training and P.E. in- structor. In addition to weightlifting, . . . we ' re doing more than we did last year and mak- ing it more advanced. We want to do more with aerobics, mentioned Kathy Beck, freshmen and sophomore P.E. instructor. I used to think aerobics were mostly for girls, but now that I ' m doing it, I really don ' t mind, said Ryan Elfreich, freshman. We ' re trying to refine our program, added Mr. Ron Wannemuehler, athletic director and P.E. instructor. Last year was mostly experimental. This year is more extensive. It seems like we ' re getting more done, and the class goes a lot smoother than last year, said Amy Flittner, sophomore. 64 P hysical education Teaching proper techniques by example, Freshman Erik Chandler demonstrates the reverse military lift in Mr. Wannemuehler ' s P.E. class.

I ' m very comfortable teaching those classes because I feel I ' m knowledgeable about them from ex- perience. Mr. Logel taught health and driver ' s education classes last year along with driving instruction in the car. Each student got to drive once a week during the class period. It was enjoyable for the students as well as the teachers. The car is a nice break during the day, and it helps me prepare the lectures, said Mr. Logel.

I get to forget about all my studies for an hour. if. : Health b7 I- i; Language prepares students When I was a freshman, against everyone ' s advice, I tool German, said Junior Jim Tubbs. First and second year were pretty easy, but third year is harder. I plan to continue with fourth year to prepare myself for college. Most students decided to start or to continue a language. Total enrollment in foreign language classes climbed last year. The number of students in advanced level classes increased signifi- cantly, too. In Spanish IV, the class went from four students in 1984-1985 to ten students this year. Overall, half of fVlemorial ' s students took a foreign language last year. This trend was probably set by many colleges that stress foreign languages. Colleges encourage students to take at least three years of one foreign language in high school, but if the students want to test out of a language, I encourage four, said fVliss Brenda Criag, Spanish teacher and head of the foreign language department. ' The fourth year is a little harder, but it keeps the students in touch with the language before college. Most of the students that took a foreign language were preparing for college. Many of these same students were surprised by what their language offered. Freshman year I never thought I ' d even pass second year, said Senior Sara Wannemuehler. Over my four years I realized you need more than two years of a languge to get by in college. I think four years of Spanish will help me a lot. I have found that Spanish is an inter- esting class, and I ' ll probably take at least one more year of it, said Spanish II student Barry Wagner, sophomore. German I is fun, but difficult as ex- pected. Their vowels are different and it ' s kind of crazy, laughed Freshman Sue Gilles, I might take German all four years to prepare for college. I plan to continue at least one more year, because I think it ' s fun, said Freshman Jane Mehtt, French I student. We ' ve learned a lot of vocabulary and some dialogues. I think everyone plan- ning to go to college should take a foreign language. French students found it easier to learn with their deslfs arranged in a circle. Sophomores.

Many students took accounting to help with college business courses. 70 Bu s tudents find vocations Business classes at Memorial ranged from personal typing to business law. The classes were structured to give students the basic knowledge for certain classes in college and for employment out of high school. Many of the classes will be a help for students in their everyday lives, said Miss Sheila Jones, teacher of shorthand, typing, business communications, and office procedures. Some of the classes are also geared to prepare the students for the world of work. I got a job through typing II at Fine and Hatfield Law Firm, said Junior Dee Dee Winters, and when I get out of high school I can get a job as a legal secretary there. Not all of the students enrolled in busi- ness classes knew what they were going to do beyond high school. I ' m taking accounting because i think it will make things easier for me when I get out of high school, said Junior Amy Schiff, but I really don ' t know what I ' m going to do yet. Trade and industry was also a class set up to prepare students for work out of high school. T l was held at Central High School and the classes were taught by Mr. Steinkuhl.

The staff thought at times nothing was getting done, but they always had good times. Junior Jamie Dieter said, ' We ' re a bunch of zeros. No, seriously, we all get along well together, and we really crack down to get all of our work done on time. Senior Tony Head analyzed deadlines as weeks that were always very frantic, however, ... we always managed to put the paper out on time.

N. er 73 Artists develop new ideas With the addition of Mrs. JoAnn Volz, the art department expanded. Students found classes to be more interesting and filled with new projects which helped them to develop new skills. I ' ve really improved my shading and coloring techniques, said Senior Troy Carlson. Since Mrs. Volz critiques our projects, we all can improve our art talents. Special assignments include self portraits and drawing reflective objects. I had the students draw human forms from skeletons, commented Mrs. Volz.

Students learned how to make a bolt of material into something they could wear on the weekends. Clothing class was really fun this year, said Freshman Anne Kissel. We made jogging pants and then we started making a sweatsuit. The clothing classes decreased in number from last year, but the students who took Clothing found it helpful. The jogging pants were hard to make, continued Anne, I messed up two times and had to restilch a lot of places, but now I know how to sew.

The band ' s hard work provided pleasure for many. Each season had Its own distinctive sound. The National Anthem and football halftime songs rang through the halls in the fall. Christmas and pep band music was the entertainment for the winter. Jazz and concert band worked to provide a rhythmic diversion in the spring. The Memorial band worked hard in class year ' round perfecting their music and it showed in their performances. It was not just an easy class to take for a good grade. People have a misconception about band, said Mrs. Marcia Laird, band director. The students don ' t just show up and get a five or a six. They really work hard. We do more work than most people think, but it ' s really fun, said Sophomore Amy Niemeier. Band students also represented Working diligently in class, freshmen band members Mike Cardarelli and Kim Ciolkowski and Junior Rich Wire concentrate as they play. The band was under the direction of Mrs. Marcia Laird. Memorial High School at many competi- tions. We entered several marching band contests and solo and ensemble concerts during the school year, said Mrs. Laird. the band performed well in most of their competitions. At the Heritage Hills band contest they received second in their class along with best percussion and best color guard awards, in the Evansville In- vitational Contest they earned second in their division, also. And in the District Marching Band Contest they earned an excellent rating. Still, more is involved in band than grades and competitions. Its good being in band because I get to meet people whom I have something in common with, said Heather Ziliak, sophomore. Band students were required to play at least five home basketball games, and most members showed up at every home game. Band is something to do to be involved with the school besides just being a student, added Heather. Band 77 c hoir, chorus entertain They may not have been the Vienna Boys Choir, after all it was made up of only girls. Still Memorial ' s Concert Choir could put on quite a performance. They did so on many different occasions such as the fall, Christmas, and spring programs, visits to grade schools and nursing homes, and performances at Evansville ' s Festival of Trees and the downtown Evansville Rivercity Christmas party. The students are really dedicated to what they are doing, said Mrs. Annette Healy, choral music director, and they put forth a lot of effort. I think all of the girls enjoy performing, because if they didn ' t, they wouldn ' t be in the class, said Senior Kelli Leet, secretary of the concert choir. Other officers in concert choir were Senior Sherry Watson, president; Shari Adding their male voices in class. Freshman Brett 0 ' Daniel. Senior Don Barnes, and Freshman Darb Roos sing songs for chorus. These were three of the boys in chorus class this year. Hirsch, vice-president; and Sherry Ankenbrand, treasurer. In addition to concert choir. Memorial ' s vocal music department had a chorus class. Chorus was a stepping stone to prepare new students for concert choir. Chorus is technically the place where students learn some basics in music, voice, and proper technique for stage performance, said Mrs. Healy. Chorus students felt the class was worthwhile as far as gaining experience for concert choir. They also enjoyed in- volvement in singing as a group. I ' m glad that I learned what I did in chorus, said Freshman Chris Judd, so that when I get up to sing in a group as concert choir next year I ' ll feel like I know what I ' m doing. 78 Co Caroling on the Downtown Walkway.

Mrs. Sandy Lasher was then hired to attempt to fill Mrs. Everett ' s shoes; not an easy task knowing that the year before the staff received, from the American Scholastic Press Association, a first place award with special merit and an award for outstand- ing layout design. From the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, a medalist award was earned. As a first time yearbook advisor, Mrs. Lasher didn ' t know exactly what she had gotten herself into. The first deadline was unbelieveable. I thought we ' d die before we finished, said Mrs. Lasher. Somehow, though, we managed to pull through and we survived! The year went on and things became easier, just as hectic, but somehow easier. The staff needed experience and they certainly received it. If I wouldn ' t have gone to camp, I would have had no practice in prepanng our budget and relating to business people, said Senior Kelly Warren, busi- ness editor. Kelly was one of the ten members of the staff who attended a one-week yearbook camp at Indiana University during the summer. At the camp they learned tech- niques for writing stones, doing layouts, planning finances, and taking photo- graphs for a yearbook. In addition to classtime, many hours were spent out of school prepanng the yearbook. Staying late after school and ordehng pizza for dinner was common. Sometimes a student became dis- couraged because something didn ' t sound right or something didn ' t look right but there was always someone else to turn to. Sometime when I couldn ' t figure things out I interrupted Lynne from whatever she was doing to get my problem solved, said Junior Rhonda Happe. Many people don ' t realize how difficult it is to put the yearbook together, said Senior Editor Lynne Wallander. I know we procrastinate at times, but the effort we put forth and our late night dedication is worth it when I see people looking at our book. And smiling. Making a new friend.

I earbook O I Students reap honors An all expense paid trip to Beverly Hills, California was all the incentive needed to get Mr. Mace Brauchia fired up about get- ting an Aca demic Decathlon team together. Memorial did not win the state competi- tion or get to go to Beverly Hills, but they performed really well. In its debut perfor- mance, the team placed third at the regional and seventh in the state. The team consisted of six junior or senior students. Two team members had to have a grade point average between 5.6 and 6.0 to compete in the honors divi- sion. Out of the remaining four students, two had to have a G.P.A. of between 4.5 and 5.6 to compete in the scholars divi- sion, and two had to maintain a G.P.A. of below 4.5. Students had to master a wide variety of skills in many areas of study: math, economics, fine arts, literature, and science. They were also required to give a speech, write an essay, go to an inter- view, and take a quiz about immigration. At the regional, Mark Seib won seven medals, Eric Miller won six, Mary Keller and Scott Hollingsworth won five, Joey Williamson brought home four, and Martina Jones won three. At the state competition, Scott received four medals, and Mary and Mark won one each. We put in a lot of time studying for the Decathlon, but it was worth it. I learned more in those six weeks than I usually learn in a year, said Scott Hollingsworth. I loved the Decathlon because I finally found a competition that suited me. I like competing mentally, said Mark Seib. Memorial had students who rep- resented the school in other areas.

Some band members were selected to go to the University of Tennessee Honors Band Clinic. This year was the first year for the competition and it will become an annual event. Mike Cardarelli, freshman; Patrick Davis, junior; Angela Fenoglio, junior; Jessica Hughes, freshman; Tom Record, freshman; Chstie Weis, sopho- more; and Rich Wire were the band members who went to the clinic. Mr. Brauchia also sent Mark Seib and Scott Hollingsworth as a team to compete in the fifteenth annual High School Chemistry Tournament at Murray State. Scott finished first in the individual competition against almost two hundred opponents. He was then invited to compete nationally in the Chemistry Olympiad for a place on the United States team that competes internationally. This year five students received the Evansville Press Youth Awards. Seniors Tony Head, Elyse Dilger, Kelly Leet, Sherry Ankenbrand, and Teresa Tucker were all winners. I lost my voice because I had to practice for a month, but it was worth it, said Tony Head. Memorial has a fine tradition of excell- ing in academics, and students like these keep it that way.

They tore the same liga- ment, in the left knee, dur- ing the same part of the season, in the middle of their senior years. It ' s no wonder why Brian ' s nickname is clone, refer- ing to his physical likeness to his older brother. It was difficult to replace Koressel, said Senior Geoff Schmalz. The team definitely had to work harder to compensate for the loss of Brian ' s skill and experience. Sitting on the sidelines during a close match proved to be a ch allenge for Brian. He said, It was especially irritating sitting on the bench when I thought I could be out there helping my team. Senior Scott Stratman helps Brian Koressel carry his books from class to class.

The Tigers ' final record consisted of 18 wins, two ties, and only one loss which occured in the final game of the In- diana High School State Tournament. We never quite played to our full potential, but, all in all, I thought we had a pretty good year, said Senior defender Kevin Koch. We were almost the first team in Memorial history to have an un- defeated season. The Tigers lost the city title to Harrison after trying them 0-0 in the last of the game of the regular season. It was a very disappointing game. We just couldn ' t put the ball in the net, said Freshman Tim Vieth. The team later beat the Warhors 4- 1 in the regional finals. This was a satis- fying win and it gave us confidence going into the championship round, added Vieth. It was there that the Tigers were ultimately beaten by the Carmel Greyhounds. The losses we experienced this year taught us an important lesson. Winning isn ' t everything and we should feel privileged to have made it as far as we did — second in the state finals, said Sopho- more Jonathon Bordfeld. He added, We have a strong returning team and we have a very positive outlook for next year, Considering next year. Memorial may be looking for a new head coach. Barry Allen, who has been filling this position for the last three years may be going back to school next fall. If he does decide to do this, he will be forced to give up his coach- ing position and become a fulltime student. ' Leaving at this point would be very disappointing, considering the strength and experience of the players who will be returning next year, Allen said. 1985 Varsity Soccer (18-1-2) Senior Forward Brie Miller dribbles the ball into open space.

We had a really good season and encountered a lot of tough competition along the way, said sophomore Chad Perkins. We started off a little shaky at first but we pulled together as a team by the end of the year, he added. The junior varsity had a new coach, Pat Pohlman, to guide them through their win- ning season. The kids on the team really made it easy for me, said Pohlman they came out well conditioned and took very well to my coaching style. They were real- ly a good group of kids to work with. The freshman team, also posting a good season with a 7-6-2 record did well in making the adjustment from the youth leagues to high school competition. This was our first real taste of high school soccer, said Heinrich Deters, and it helps prepare us for varsity play. Jay Fredrich, who has coached freshman soccer for 3 years, often referred to the varsity team for examples of good tactics.

Memorial ' s varsity football team was stocked with ex- perienced players, veterans of the sport. The seniors on the team had been work- ing together to reach a common goal since their freshman year. Senior co-captain, All-State player, and leading scorer Shawn Young explained, After our first year together as a team was over, we looked back on our season. Because we had only been beaten once by Castle, we knew we had a strong team. We decided to put in full efforts and go for the highest goals. He added that even in the off season, his teammates had football on their minds everyday. The goal Shawn spoke of was making it to the state championship. What we were really shooting for was to be the best, said Senior co-captain Roger Merkel, which meant reaching the final in Indianapolis. Winning the city championship felt great, but you still real- ize that there are more teams yet to play in the state. ' Our preparation began two years ago, said Head Coach Ralph Weinzapfel. Any ball club that works as hard as this one will enjoy the same degree of success. He also believed that the more you put into it, the tougher it is to lose. According to the coaching staff, the football ' s unselfish winning attitude led them through their victorious season. In their final game, the Tigers battled In- dianapolis Roncalli for the semi-state title. Roncalli went home the victor. I was pleased with our excellent performance, Coach Weinzapfel said, and the fact that we had nine players make the All-SIAC team. Sure we were proud, added Roger Merkel, but our season ended before everyone wanted it to.

The reserve team, with three wins and five losses, were never out of any games they lost. We started the season very strong and we should have won more games than we did, said Sophomore Andrew Weinzapfel. The freshman team, with a first year coach Gregg Wilson had a three and four season. We started out the year kind of slow, and it took a while to get going, but we finished pretty strong, said Chris Meadows, freshman. Due to injuries and lack of participation the team finished the season with only 1 9 players. This took its toll on us physically but the kids always gave it their all, said Coach Wilson.

' reshmen and Reserve Football 93 s quads crave respect Cheerleading is certainly not an easy job, according to the Memorial Cheerleaders. The girls seem to sometimes get complaints but never hear about the good things they do. Another problem is that cheerleading is not recognized as a sport by many people, but the cheerleaders agree that it definitely is one. Cheerleaders must also deal with the fact that many people regard them as dizzy or brainless. The three squads firmly believe that cheerleading is a sport. Varsity Captain Tami Wootton said, We must practice and work hard ten months out of the year and must be in top physical shape like any other team. Freshman Katie Ziemer added, We work hard mentally and physically. A lot of people wouldn ' t agree with me, but if they came to one of our practices, they ' d feel differently. I guarantee it! Cheerleaders find they are often stero- typed as dizzy or spacy, a misconcep- tion fought by all squads. People don ' t give us a chance or even try to see that our personality and in- tellengence extend beyond cheerlead- ing, said Tami. Sophomore Stacey Buehner added that the reputation cheerleaders get isn ' t fair because we must maintain grade point average like any other sports team. The hardest part of being a cheerteader must be the great amount of time the girls put into it, commented Coach Theresa Simpson. The squads make posters every three weeks. In one week, they practice twice and cheer at up to three games on other days. Plus they are expected to help decorate for booster club functions. Stacey said, Being a cheerleader means being tied up at least three or four days out of the week. Despite all of the hard work and effort, the girls had some good things to say about their sport. My favorite thing about cheerleading is getting the crowd fired up, said Senior Erika Inman, because the players are motivated when they hear the cheering. They know that their fans in the stands are behind them 100%. The best times to cheer were at Homecoming and big games such as sectionals because the fans were pepped up, said Katie. Enthused crowds always make us feel like we ' re doing a good job. Miss Simpson said she was very pleased with the girl ' s performance, espe- cially at the UCA (Universal Cheerleading Association) which they attended during the summer at Indiana University. The freshman girts made it to the finals and the reserve and varsity squads each brought home first place trophies. Senior Erika Inman. rriember of the varsity squad, encourages fans to get fired up.

Soccer tigers travel Being an unsanctioned sport had its advantages. Because the IHSAA did not recognize girls ' soccer as an official school-supported sport, the team was able to take many out-of-town trips to invitational tournaments. They have visited such places as Toronto, Canada (1983); Detroit, Michigan (1984); and Minneapolis, Minnesota (1985). Traveling far from home had its bad aspects along with the good explained Senior Lynne Wallander. She also said that when the girls were all together in a hotel, they tended to stay up really late. We would go and check out the guys from the soccer teams, watch TV, and gossip, said Lynne, so naturally we got out of bed really late and were tired for our game the next morning. The advantages, accord- ing to Lynne, were that the trips took the monotony out of playing on crummy fields. Being together like that makes us closer! added Lynne, and then we play better while we are out of town and when we get home, too! Junior Julie Brubaker agreed that traveling caused the team to get less sleep, but she liked the fact that it helped the girls get to know one another better. Our parents are fun on road thps, Julie also said, because they are cool about letting us do stuff. Julie said, The best part of roadtrips is that the competition is a lot tougher and this inspired us to work harder to win. 96 V 1986 Varsity Girls Soccer: (front row) Missy Chandler.

Williams and Assistant Coach Rob Schoenstein stressed teamwork to the girls above personal accomplishments. We had a well-balanced team which worked together to give us a better attack on goal, said Schoenstein of the 1985 spring season. If a player decides to make a star performance, the team as a unit falls apart. Considering our 14-1-1 record, added Coach Williams, ' I would say our overall performance was good. We always seemed to have a mental block against Mater Dei, even though we had more talent. They challenged us well. That challenge, proven in an early season game against MD, gave Memorial girls their first loss in forty-eight league games. They were defeated 1-0 with five minutes left in the game. ' In a way, Williams said, the loss was good for us. It took some pressure off, and we began to play more relaxed. On defense, Senior Missy Chandler added, we had a lot of close calls, but in the back of our minds, I guess we never thought we would be defeated. The loss made us work much harder to be the best The hard work paid off in November, 1 985. Memorial ' s girls participated for the first time in the High School State Soccer Championship. They eliminated Mater Dei by a score of 3-1 in the preliminaries. The girls then polished off a regional title, defeating Harrison 4-1. In Indianapolis, Memorial won a close match in the semi- finals against South Bend. The Soccer Tigers fell short of a state title when they lost to Carmel, 3-2, in overtime play. Junior Karen Moeller, who was named Most Valuable Defensive Player, ex- pressed the feelings of her team. Sure, we were disappointed, she said. Our first reaction was We practiced so hard. How could we lose? ' But we played very well, and the important thing to remember is we played together. That was our goal from the very beginning. Looking for an open player, Freshman Susan DIetsch signals for a give and go pass. Scrim- mage games were an important part of the team ' s practice. V arsity girls soccer 97 team reigns A friendly but very competitive battle existed between Memorial ' s two girls ' reserve soccer teams. Because of tryout numbers, two junior varsity teams were kept: one consisting entirely of freshmen, and the other carry- ing upperclassmen on its roster. In school and in public places, the enemies would exchange smiles and even hellos. The cordial moods abruptly ceased, however, when the two teams met in their annual head-to-head clash. Stakes were high as each group tried to sustain their images and walk away with the prestigious victory. The game between us and the freshmen Is supposed to be fun, said Junior Joan Creech, but sometimes we do take the game too seriously, which makes us more frustrated. We have reputations to protect in our attempt to win. In 1985, the freshmen team boasted a successful 8-1-2 record. Their only loss came from the other Tiger team. Fresh- men Coach David Barton attributed the good season to his team ' s eagerness to learn. It is pretty easy to instruct a group that is open to new ideas, Barton said. The only disadvantage of my team is that I have no returning players. Memorial ' s A reserve team (the upperclassmen) shared an equally successful season.

The Tigers had a winning season and captured the city title. The players agreed that their winning season was due to Coach Logel ' s emphasis on having the nght attitude, that of a gentleman. Sophomore Todd Barron said, Coach always expressed to us what was the right way to act towards other teams and to each other. He really knows how to put a team together. Competition is always good, said Coach Logel, but he thought one of the Tiger ' s toughest matches was against Harrison. He said, We pulled together, arose to the occasion, and beat them. Cameron agreed that the team played their best against the Warners. We had surperlative efforts from everyone, he said. Despite their win over Harrison in the regular season, the team fell short of beat- ing them in the SIAC. In the tourney Memorial won three games and lost two, but because of consolation games, the Warnors gained enough points to defeat the Tigers by one point. Two fVlHS players.

The 1 985 tennis team boasted a record of 18-4, finishing the year second in the city and third in the SIAC. The Lady Tigers showed much depth, had strong senior leadership, and a fine team attitude. The great depth seemed to be one of the strongest assets. There was not just one outstanding player, but the talents were spread out through all the facets of the team, according to Coach Craig. Teams who spotlight just one or two really strong girls just don ' t win team victories, said doubles player Senior Sara Wannemuehler. Most of the players agreed that a large margin of their success was due to the friendship they all shared, on the court as well as off. This was the closest knit team I have ever been involved with, said Senior Shelly Brundick . ' The fact that we were such good friends made winning that much more enjoyable. The varsity team was proud of their record. The girls highlighted their season by capturing the sectional, regional, and semi-state titles. It was in the state finals where the girls were ultimately beaten by Homestead and Elkhart Central. This showing in the state tournament was an accomplishment, especially for a Southern Indiana team, said Coach Craig, because up North, teams have year-round facilities and most of the girls are only involved in one sport, tennis. Miss Craig ' s outlook for the 1986 season was a positive one, even with only three starters returning. This will be a season of rebuilding. Moving new kids up to fill the gaps will be more or less a type of trial and error situation, said Coach Craig, but after the squad is finally assembled, we will go back to being a team. 1985 Girls Tennis (18-4) j B K Bi |M ' MHS 4 Reitz 1 H Hj B: f V|R[, MHS 5 Day School H SHD MHS 2 Jasper 3 HHJBSE ' fiSSQI Rl ■ ■SMI .

According to the players, having team members as good friends was beneficial, but so metimes harmful to the team. Senior Shelly Brundick said, Because we had six returning seniors, we were very comfortable with each other and could play well together.

V arsity volleyball 105 Spikers gain confidence Two things stood in the way of the Reserve Volleyball team and the girls had to battle against them for over half their season. Like many reserve teams the MHS players suffered because of their unfamiliarity and lack of experinece of working together as a team. Freshman Lori Harmon said, At my first practice I looked around and saw all new faces. I didn ' t know anybody, coming from a public school, and I am sure other people felt as uneasy as I did. It took us a long time, but we finally came together as a team, said Sopho- more Monica Stewert. We were full of talent but we were just beginning to develop it, said Freshman Bertha Langley. She continued, After a very slow start, we came back and began to win. We played Wood Memonal, beat them, and gained our needed con- fidence. This game was the first victory for the Lady Tigers. Although the scores didn ' t always show it, the girls improved every game, said Coach Kathy Beck. She said that what the girls needed was to play together and know what to expect from each other. Miss Beck said that the highlight game of the year was the last game of the season when they beat Bosse. She said, They got their act together and finally played like a team. Next year six players will be returning to the reserve team. Miss Beck is looking forward to coaching them. She said, The six girls won ' t suffer from lack of ex- perience and can provide leadership to the incoming freshmen. 1985 Girls ' Jr. Varsity Volleyball (6-8) MHS vs. Boonville Lost(4-15), (7-15) MHS vs. Wood MemorialWon (15-8), (4-15) (15-4) MHSs VE .

At Memorial, however, this was not the case. From January to March, on Sunday nights, the Tiger gym was filled with lots of loud activity and commotion. During these months, roughly 100 junior and senior boys participated in intramural basketball, Fr. Tom Kessler was in charge of in- tramurals tor his sixth year and he ex- pressed his favor of the program. Because P.E. classes end after sopho- more year, it ' s a great chance for the guys to use their gym again, said Fr. Tom. Playing organized basketball on Sunday night is a super way to blow off a little of the steam tfiat has been building up all week. No requirements had to be met to play on an intramural team. Fr. Tom said this allowed the boys to play, who had talent but didn ' t make Memorial ' s team or just didn ' t want to play. ' It ' s a good way for players who can ' t make the basketball team on the varsity level, to show their stuff. said Senior Bill Pokorney. The referees for the games are usually basketball players from the varsity team. Fr. Tom explained that without them, things could get out of control. There have been no real problems since I have been in charge, said Fr. Tom, ' but when one team who is out to win plays another team who is out for fun, it can create a hassle. Whether they play for a victory or just to have a good time, all the teams enjoy in- tramurals.

No one ever knew quite what to expect when they watched the Memorial students pack the stands. Theme nights and student enthusiasm played a large role in our team success, said Coach Risemas, and I think we have the best fan support in Southern Indiana. On the nights Coach Risemas spoke of. Memorial fans decked out in clothes reflecting the theme chosen for that par- ticular game. The costumes ranged from bathrobes to the unknown comic. For special games such as sectionals or homecoming, the traditional dress was Hawaiian. Our opponents know they ' re in trouble, Reserve Coach, Mr. Randy Hupfer said, when the kids wear Hawaiian. Mr. Hupfer also added that he enjoyed the creative ideas the students came up with. ! think it ' s in- teresting, he said, that other schools try to imitate our costume. The fans caught on to this too, and sported signs say- ing, Xerox section, they copy what we do best. Coach Risemas said that all the excitment was not a distraction for the team. It ' s easier to calm the team down, than it is to pep them up! Memorial students dressed up as the unknown comic lor one of their ever popular theme nights. Wearing costumes was the Tiger fans ' favorite way to show their school spirit.

Varsity basketball Coach Rich Risemas said he liked the way the juniors and seniors came together to play as a team. The team is very unselfish, said Coach Risemas, and with a 13-4 record, the team ' s attitude is great. He added that he watched his team mature and at the same time grow more consistent. During the second half of the season, we began to play a lot more consistently, said Senior Albert Durcholz, and the starting five as well as the bench began to work. A few injuries caused the Tigers to fall behind but they quickly recovered. It was super how the guys picked up the slack, said Coach Risemas, and senior leadership and teamwork made the difference. Making this difference was all it took for the team to dethrone the favored Bosse Bulldogs and seize the sectional title. The next step was regionals and once again the Tigers, backed by fans in togas and Hawaiian garb, prevailed. This victory led the boys to Terre Haute for the semi-state round and school spirit mounted. The Tigers triumphed over the Bloomfield Cardinals in the first game but were ultimately defeated by the Southridge Raiders. 1986 Varsity Basketball (14-6) MHS 69 Henderson County 56 MHS 83 Princeton 47 MHS 56 Jasper 50 MHS 52 Boose 71 MHS 57 Washington Catholic 54 MHS 82 North 62 MHS 57 Reitz 72 MHS 37 Mt.

' We have improved since last year, Brian said, because this year we worked much harder and were more dis- ciplined. Reserve Coach Randy Hupfer said he was very pleased with the team ' s hard work and efforts. ' A lot of the kids were not used to playing together, he said, but they really learned to play well as a unit. Coach David Hayden of freshman basketball said, Our team also worked well together and there was a different high scorer in each game. He added that the freshman team was basically defense-oriented. Freshman Pat Schuiz agreed. Our strongest points were our speed and the defense our coach taught us, he said. Pat added that the Freshmen players had one major disadvantage: their height. ' Our tallest player was six foot, he said, ' and we were often challenged by really tall teams. The Freshman were divided into A and B teams and Coach Hayden explained that Neil Gross deserved a lot of credit for helping out as an assistant coach. The team ' s goal was to win the league tournament. Coach Hayden was dis- appointed that the Tigers lost in the first round to Central. The worst part about it, he said, ' was that we defeated them twice during our regular season. Al the free throw line, Juniors Burt Brougham and Mark Schuler are ready to move in for the rebound.

There they were beaten by Mater Dei, 45-39. Come sectional time, we were the underdogs and were expected to lose, said Junior and second leading scorer in the city, Diane Starry. This I feel was psychologically to our advantage. The highlight of the Tigers season was their win over Harrison in the second round of the sectional tournament. The reason for this was that they avenged a loss which they suffered two weeks earlier to the Warriors. In fact they lost that previous game to a last second shot. All year long, I stressed enjoyment, said Edwards, and I tried to exemplify the old addage that winning isn ' t everything, so have a little fun. 114 Varsity girls basketball As the buzzer sounds, the lady Tigers Warriors in the last game of the celebrate their sectional win over regular season, this victory was a Harrison.

One of the Tiger ' s victories came with a defeat of Bosse by three points, Some of the losses could have gone either way, and due to the lack of experience they didn ' t go ours, Beck added.

While it was not a problem for some, others had to diet and work extra hard to take and keep pounds off. The most difficult thing about wrestling is not eating, said Senior Jim Julian, because you lose some of your strength and often during matches you become preoccupied with hunger. Jim also added that he regretted going out on weekends and eating a lot. You have to work that much harder, Jim said, to sweat off the weight during practice. ' After weigh-ins, most wrestlers eat a lot in hopes of gaining back some strength. Because weigh-ins are only a half hour before matches, said Sophomore Rory Hague. Wrestlers sometimes get sick. In spite of the ups and downs of weight gain and loss, the Tigers pulled off what Coach Scott Bauer expressed as a successful season. We had four seniors who are veterans to the sport, said Coach Bauer, and their experience helped lead the team to their 8-7 record. Aside from the seniors, two juniors, Ted Purdie and Rodney Morgan, and Sopho- more Rory Hague all lettered in wrestling. Mr. Bauer was pleased with this and also with the fact that the varsity team had two sectional winners.

Purdie was the Tiger ' s only heavy- weight. Crowds haven ' t caught on At most major sporting events, crowds filled the stands to support their team. One of the ex- ceptions to this standard was wrestling. Varsity wres- tling coach, Scott Bauer thought the lack of fans had to do with tradition. Memorial ' s traditional sports are football and basketball, said Coach Bauer. Wrestling just hasn ' t caught on. Mater Dei, on the other hand, really packs in a crowd, said Freshman John Flynn, and they never quit. He also added that he thought publicity would be the key to drawing more Tiger fans to the matches. According to Senior Jim Julian, a lot of people don ' t understand the sport of wrestling. They generalize the sport, said Jim, and they aren ' t interested. Coach Bauer thought having home-court support would be an advantage. Without peers backing you, said Coach Bauer, it makes it much harder for wrestlers to justify the time they put into their sport.

The reserve was composed mostly of freshmen. said Jeff Schaefer, 155 pound wrestler on the junior varsity squad. There were eleven freshmen on reserves and this was enough for a ninth grade team itself, but other schools decided against this. Because of the size of the of the squad, there was a lot of competition to fill the positions for different weight classes and a lot of great wrestle- offs occured, said Schaefer. We had a fair season, said Reserve Wrestling Coach Ralph Weinzapfel, and although the kids were inexperienced and showed much room for progress, they were always dependable. The Tigers finished with two wins and six losses, completing with a sixth place city-wide title. There were four freshman wrestling meets and although Memorial never won a match, Eric Chandler did win the city championship in the 185 pound weight class. Two to three kids showed real promise and there is a lot of good varsity material for next year.

Practices were held many times weekly to build up strength and improve technique. Receiving advice from her coach at the YMCA, Junior Mary Keller trains for the Y Nationals in Florida.

After being on swim teams for seven years. Sophomore Kevin Kain had his form down pat. 1 I 122 S. %N S ole swimmer strives Most sports revolve around and depend on team effort, but for Junior Mary Keller this was not the case. She alone made up the Memorial swim team. Swim- ming was not recognized as an official sport at Memorial, so therefore a team would not be allowed to swim in any dual meets, but could only compete in one meet, the sectional. At the start of the year I tried to round up girls for the team so we could have enough for a relay, Mary said, but once the girls found out that they would have to practice for two months and only compete once, their interest died. Mary has been swimming for ten years and said she did not mind being the only swimmer on the team. It ' s not hard for me, Mary said, but I wish I could get others involved because I know there has got to be other swimmers at Memorial. September and October were the months in which Mary prepared for the sectionals. At the meet she won the 200 and 500 yard free style races. Then Mary moved on to compete in the state finals. Aside from Mary Keller, a small group of boys also held an interest in swimming. They did not swim for Memorial because they would have had about a five month season full of practices and would only be able to participate in one meet. It is a lot harder for boys to make it to state, said Mary, because the competition is much tougher. Juniors John Carrol and Mark Zimmer- man and Sophomore Kevin Kain were three Memorial students who swam at Carson Center under the coaching of Robbie Lannerd. We would really like to be a part of a school team, Kevin said, but we wouldn ' t have much of one be- cause of lack of interest.

Members of the golf team practice just as much as anyone else, explained Coach Fr. Tom Kessler. In some ways golf is harder because it is a very in- dividual sport and requires a great deal of quiet and concentration. The golf team strugged to overcome several difficulties from last year and come back with a winning season. There were several promising new players and everyone had big expectations. ' I dont ' think many people expect us to go far, said Fr. Tom, but I feel we ' ve got a lot of potential as a dark horse team Team members were also looking forward to a good season despite little recognition from the student body. Last year was kind of disappointing because we lost to some teams we shouldn ' t have, commented Eric Brackett, but I think it makes us push even harder to correct our mistakes. Some people may be in for a big surprise. 1985 Golf (5-8) MHS 222 Reitz 213 MHS 250 Gibson Southern 260 I MHS 251 Central 199 MHS 211 Bosse 206 MHS 185 Mt.

Go,, 125 s mall teams struggle As the cross country team slowly gathered by the Memorial gym for their first practice one August morning, Coach Del Schiavone counted heads. There weren ' t that many, he noted. He assigned an eight mile warm-up and with a groan, the pack took off. Right then, said Junior Loh Berry, I knew I was in for a very long season. Although the boys ' team had thirteen runners, a pretty good turnout accord- ing to Coach Schiavone, the girls ' team was sparse with just five participants. Five was the minimum number of runners needed to qualify as a team. With the numbers I had to work with, I was ver y pleased with performance, said Coach Schiavone. Everyone had a pretty good year, and a couple of our veterans clocked personal bests. But somehow, we have to recruit more girls. It ' s not motivating for them to run in meets knowing their time won ' t qualify because we only had three or four girls that day. Illnesses and injuries were a problem for the teams, he added. Top runner for the boys was Junior Mark Schuler, with a 2.4-mile time of 14:26. Junior Shawn McCoy was close behind with a best time of 14:52. Mark was named to the All-City team, and Shawn was awarded honorable mention. Conor O ' Daniel ran away with the Freshman City Champion title. For the girls, Lori Berry recorded the fastest time for 1.8 miles, 11:59, on her team. Senior Michele Edwards was second with a time of 12:16. The Tiger harriers qualified for the regional meet in Jasper for the third con- secutive year, which also pleased Coach Schiavone. We only lost one out of eight runners from last year, he said, and we should have a good nucleus for next year. In spite of a small team. Coach Schiavone wished he had more fan support.

Although the team records did not show it, There was strong individual placing, according to senior Tony Head. 1 985 graduate Larry Robinson was one individual standout. After an undefeated record in the mile, Larry captured the sec- tional title in that event. Senior Tony Head qualified for 3 sec- tional events: the high jump, 400m and the 4 X 100m relay. For my first year out, I was pleased with my performance, said Tony. I hope to improve next year and perhaps better my achievements. The boys posted an 0-6 record, but Head Coach Del Schiavone was happy with his runners. There was never a dull moment, he said, smiling.

If the players come off the field knowing they did their best, we are in pretty good shape, he said, and we ' ll have a better attitude toward the game. Coach Merkel decided the team should work harder on that goal for the 1986 season, because he expected to do better last year. He explained that the team lost very many close games which could have been Tiger victories with a key hit. Coach Merkel also expressed the im- portance of never giving a team more than three outs per inning. That may sound a bit funny, he said, but when one of our players drop a fly ball or throws the ball away, we call that giving our opponents extra outs. This is something that we try to avoid. The varsity players agreed that they learned a lot from Coach Merkel ' s advice. We stick to the rules and listen to him, said Senior third baseman Mark Reker, and try to live up to his expectations. According to Coach Merkel, the highlight of the Tigers season was the outstanding pitching performance during the first sectional game. Although we lost to Mater Dei 7 to 5, he said, we could have just as easily won 5-0 if we hadn ' t made errors at critical times. We are trying to learn from the mistakes we made last year, said Senior Bob Mehringer, when speaking of the 1986 season, and we are going to con- centrate on playing fundamental baseball, do our best, and win with it.

We thought we ' d be lucky to win some, Coach Hayden said, but instead, we finished second in the city tournament and nearly won it. The Tigers beat every team in the city once and almost defeated each of them twice. In the tournament, they were victors over Central but in the second round, they lost a very close game to Reitz. Because only one person on the team had playing experience from freshman year, Junior Bert Brougham said, We were underrated. He added, But we showed em by winning the same amount of games as last year ' s team, if not more. The reserve players were led by only five sophomores and the freshmen suffered from having no prior experience with high school baseball. In the beginning of our season, the outlook was grim, said Junior David Scheitlin, but the freshmen did an ex- cellent job and helped turn the season around. The team and coach agreed that the high point of the season was the Tiger ' s defeat over Central in the city tournament. The bears were the favored team, said Sophomore Jock Collins, ' but to the surprise of many people, we beat them by a large margin. One of the younger team members.

They were involved, and they were having a good time. Our people were found every- where, from the overcrowded malls to the rain-drenched stands of the regional football game; on the streets collecting cans to share with the poor, or taking long walks in the park to share forgotten memories. Anywhere to be together. While the freshmen settled in for high school life, seniors were look- ing ahead to college. Starting over again, after finally achieving su- perior school nobility, was scary. Decisions were made after con- sultation and acceptance by peers. A small school had its benefits. Only a short time elapsed before that girl became my friend. An obvious unity grew during the year, from planning dances to planning weekends. Our people grew, too, and not just in size. In style.

It was a whole new ballgame teaching high school, however. The biggest change from teaching students in grade school was high school students have a greater desire to learn, said Coach Wilson. They are really concerned and much more aware of what is going on. ' Outside of teaching, Mr. Wilson could be found running throughout the city. He has been a member of the Evansville, Runner ' s Club for the past three years and has also run in several marathons. I began running my last two years in college, said Mr. Wilson. Now I run everyday just out of habit. I really look forward to running because it helps me relax after a long day at school, he continued, I challenge myself to run more each day. Sometimes I run up to 90 miles in one week. When I am in training, I ' ll run in the morning and evening. Mr. Wilson summarized his feelings by saying, I ' ve always liked working with kids.

But when initiation rolled around, it was a whole different story. When my mom saw me, she was shocked! said Lori Harmon. I don ' t think I have ever seen her laugh so hard. My senior sister, Shelly Brundick, used a gallon of hair spray to put my hair in pigtails, made me wear one of her old dance costumes, and painted my face with make-up. Although initiation was embarrassing, for some it helped them meet more people in school and make new fnends.

After they had visited a few rooms, the excitement died down and mixed feelings settled in as to how scary Phantom Theater really was. People who were working were just acting out scenes and weren ' t really scary at all, ex- plained Freshman Fred Evans. Freshman Lon Crane felt differently, and said, I real- ly like it. It was sort of scary, and a lot of fun. Freshman Dan Sasse remarked, Out of the whole haunted house, the slide at the end was the most exciting.

Students entering the parochial system for the first time found wearing uniforms and attending theology classes quite an adjustment. Wearing a uniform really isn ' t so bad, said Freshman Brian Holt. Everyone mainly wears the same thing, so it doesn ' t bother me! However, one non-Catholic student discovered that the biggest difference at Memorial was participating in mass. It proved to be an education in itself. One freshman encountering this situa- tion commented on her experiences dur- ing the opening school mass. She said she felt awkward as other students rattled off response without having to think twice. She felt at home, however, when the congregation began reciting the Lord ' s Prayer. Suddenly as everyone else stopped in the middle of the prayer for Father Tom Kessler to offer a brief bless- ing, she continued praying the well-known prayer. The student also expressed feel- ing a bit conspicuous as the other students went to communion, leaving her sitting alone momentarily. I wasn ' t sure exactly what was going to happen. And at communion I was more embarrassed, said Freshman Roxanna Crowe. I felt out of place and it made me nervous. It definitely was a learning ex- perience. Despite occasional uneasy situations, high school life at Memorial was not any different for anyone, regardless of religious backgrounds. Making grades, avoiding trouble, and having fun were universal high school occupations for all students.

The Freshman Warmer helped the greenies to become better acquainted with each other. m sophomores salute V frosh As 7:00 p.m. approached, students wearing shades of green were lined up outside the school while parents asked the familiar question, What time should I pick you up? This was the start of the annual Freshmen Warmer, the night when freshmen were made fun of and embarrassed. Most importantly, they were initiated as Greenies into high school. We couldn ' t decide whether or not to wear green, confessed Robert Hartman, a freshman. I ' m glad that I did because the ones who didn ' t, had to sing the school song in front of everyone else! The sophomores planned this event by thinking of embarrassing games for the freshmen to participte in. Freshmen were seen searching through piles of flour with their mouths, looking for measly little pennies. They passed oranges from neck to neck and passed life-savers from one toothpick to another of the opposite sex. I think I stuck my partner with the tooth- pick, explained Freshman Andrew Miller, Because she dropped the life- saver! And if that was not enough, the girls had to search through a pile of boy ' s shoes, pick one out, and dance with the owner. Freshman Jennifer Voight said, I was so embarrassed when I had to pass the orange neck to neck with someone I didn ' t even know! As humiliating as all of this was, the members of the Class of 1989 have had some special memories of the one night when they officially became high school students. Attempting to pass the orange from neck to neck, Freshmen Todd Wurth and Jennifer Voight take part in an ice-breaker, the welcome for the class of 1989. 48 R } k  James Hughes Jessica Hughes John Hurley Johnny Ingram Julie James Scott Jindrich Daniel Jones Christine Judd John Kassenbrock Alisa Kaylor Nikki Keith Derrick Kenny Jennifer Kent Deanna Kincaid Stan King Teresa Kissel Keith Kollker Andrew Kriegel Lisa Krystosek Andrew Kunkel Brandon Lancaster Bertha Langley Donald Lee Margaret Lichlyter Steve Lucas Chris Marx Patricia McCabe Matthew McGovern Chris Meadows Jana Meritt 149 Andy Miller Jim Miller Shannon Mills Brian Mitchell Andrea Moore Brad Muehlbauer Bradley Mueller Marc Neidig Le Nguyen Fred Niemeier Donna Nosko Dale Oberbeck Karen O ' Connor Conor O ' Daniel Paul OhI putting as a pasttime One favorite pasttime of Memorial students over the summer was putt-putt golfing. There were three courses played on, ranging in difficulty from the easiest to hardest. The courses posed some tough challenges for some freshmen students, but with a lot of luck and laughs they completed all of the holes. I like the first course the most, but the best thing about golfing over the summer was, it was never the same twice no matter which course you played on, remarked Freshman Mary Horning. Sometimes, however, the luck wore off and embarrassing moments arose. Freshman Missy Hamilton remembers one of these times, It was so embarrass- ing when I hit the ball and missed the hole, but the ball rolled at the way across the parking lot. Many students found putt-putt golfing to be something different to do during the summer after they had already seen all of the movies that were out, and had been to the mall four or five times that week. Freshman Nancy Flittner said, I really like to play putt-putt because it is a way to get together with other people and have a lot of fun. It ' s also something to do when you run out of ideas, but to go out with your friends. As summer drew to a close, putt-putt was not quite as popular among the students. Most were getting ready for school, and trying to prepare themselves for all of the studying that was ahead of them. Some students vowed, however, We ' ll definitely be back next summer! 150 R, Brian Oliver Tyler Orsburn Sonny Paker Troy Priest Mike Pruitt Ginger Purdie Krista Rainey Lori Rausch Tommy Record Gilbert Rhodes Waiting patiently for the golfers aliead of them, th freshmen prepare to putt.

The Class of 1989 found that being the youngest in the school created a definite barrier seperating them from the undergoing a big change The differences between grade school and high school caused many positive feelings and some regrets in the attitudes and thoughts of the new Freshman Class. They had to deal with the increased work load, larger school, and the many more people that swarmed about them as they scurried to their classes. Excitement, anxiety, and fear pulsed through this new freshman class on the first day of school. I really like high school, more than I do grade school. I was scared at first, but I got used to it very quickly, remarked Freshman Pat Schulz. The size of the student body and the school itself, in comparison to many grade schools, made some other freshmen a little bit nervous. My first impression of high school was that it was so big, and there were so many people, said Freshman Jenny Schmidt. The social lives of the freshmen ex- panded a lot as there were many more activities for them to attend. I especially like the guys in high school, but I also like how many people there are and how many more things there are to do. It ' s a lot of fun! giggled Freshman Susan Dietsch. A concern among some freshmen was, going from being a part of the oldest class in the school to the youngest as a freshmen. I don ' t really like being the youngest class in the school. In grade school you felt like you ran the school, but in high school you felt like everyone else runs you, complained Pat Schulz. Whereas Susan Dietsch explained, I really don ' t mind being the youngest class in the school. I just don ' t think about being in high school and not being an eighth grader anymore. While a few aspects of high school life were not so pleasant, one thing that most freshmen would agree on was summed up well by Heinrich Deters, High school is a lot bigger, you get to meet a lot more people, and have a lot more fun. High spirits, positive attitudes, and both new and old fnendships helped the class of 1989 to overcome the fears they entered school with and have a great freshman year. 153 frosh toot with talent Long hours of practice, combined with lots of determination, helped bring the tVlemorial Band to the point of excellence it achieved by the end of the season. The band, consisting mostly of freshmen, was started off on the right note by Band Director Marcia Laird. Im- provement was steady which resulted in making the marching band top notch. Overall, the band is playing to their potential since they have acquired the in- tensity and self-discipline which are im- portant qualities of a successful band, commented Mrs. Laird. Tom Record, a former St. Ben ' s student, proved to be an exceptionally talented freshman who played the alto saxophone for the pep band, marching band, and concert band. During grade school, I used to go to football games and watch the band perform, said Tom. I had always told myself I would be in it someday. It took a lot of dedication to be able to play in all three bands. Besides the band class, he practiced an additional hour on his saxophone after school. The many grueling hours of practice paid off because Tom was chosen to represent Memorial in the Junior All High Regional Band along with freshmen band members Sarah Yeager, Mark Baumgart, and Mike Cardarelli. I feel I did very well in competition be- cause I received first and second place in almost all of the divisions I entered, said Tom. But it definitely wasn ' t fun and games. If Mrs. Laird wouldn ' t have been there to give that extra help I probably wouldn ' t have done so well. A highlight during the marching season for Tom was his solo in the New York, New York Medley that the band performed during halftime. The band worked hard throughout the year. Together they marched to the beat of the same drummer. During Band Class, Freshman Tom Record practices on his saxophone. First period was the time set aside for this class to meet.

Deciding which ring was the hardest part of it. rings encircle pride Honor and tradition have played a major role in the lives of the students attending Memorial. Many students dis- play that honor by purchasing the Class Ring. After the first few weeks of school the Josten ' s Man presented many styles of rings to the sophomores. To tell you the truth, it was quite bor- ing, confessed Sophomore Eric Brackett. But it presented things that I hadn ' t known before. After the assembly, I had a difficult time choosing the right class ring for me! said Jessica Hebert, a sophomore. There were so many styles to choose from, that I didn ' t know what I wanted. A few months later, the rumor was that the Josten ' s Man was back and ready to fill all of the ring orders that had been placed earlier. The students felt a surge of Tiger Pride as they placed the cherished Class Ring on their finger. I couldn ' t stop looking at my ring when I first got it, said Sophomore Julie Deeg. It made me feel like a part of the school. Tradition lives on in the never-ending circle of the Class Ring which stood for the unity present among Memorial High School students. Finding the right size, Sophomores Eric Bracket and Doug Strawn place their ring orders. During the lunch periods Sophomores were able to order their class rings. ophomores 159 Catherine Coffman Jock Collins Bnan Cooper Katy Corressell Lori Datin Scott Day Julie Deeg Julia DeJean Paul Delano William Destache Judy Donahue Tommy Donahue Kelly Duffy Chris Dugan Maura Echele licensed to drive in ' 85 ' Many sophomores sighed in relief as they realized that the good old days of being chauffeured by their parents would soon be over. The sophomore class took steering wheel, and life, in hand and drove for the first time, legally, in Driver ' s Ed. I was nervous because it was my first time driving and we were reversing. I didn ' t know how to drive in reverse, but Coach Logel helped me out a lot, said Tim Roe. A few sophomores were able to get their licenses over the summer. I wasn ' t really nervous when I went in to take my test, but I felt relieved when I came out, said Jock Collins a sophomore. Remembenng all of the Rules of the Road was not the easiest task, while the sophomores envisioned themselves be- hind the wheel of their favorite sportscar, or more likely, the family station wagon. I ' ve always dreamed of driving a really nice, brand new Mercedes Sportscar, said Sophomore Katie Corressell. Crusing down the metropolitan streets of Evansville was a dream come true for the sophomores as they were finally able to get their Tickets to Freedom, their driver ' s licenses.

Of course he did not want to make it seem like too big of a deal, so he did his best to present an aura of being calm, cool, and collected. Nervous did not begin to describe the feeling as the young man approached the front door of his date ' s home. At the ding of the bell, the parents eagerly answered the door, anxious to look over their little phncess first date. Creeping down the stairs and peeking around corners were the young girl ' s siblings.

She tried to be so ' cutsie ' and that made me so embar- rassed. Where did students go on first dates? School functions such as ball games and dances offered a good time for the novice daters. Movies were safe bets and also were quite cozy. I usually take my date out to eat first, then we go to a party or even a movie, said Sophomore Dominick Casalena.

I don ' t see how I ' ll be able to keep a straight face if they are there! Poise and personality, appearance and ability were the major qualities of the sophomore girls as they freeze-modeled for a local department store. At first, staying still was easy, until my brother tried to make me laugh! said Kristen Koch, a sophomore. ' I had a lot of fun, plus I learned a lot. But as the end grew near It got quite tiresome! Gradually modeling began to grow old. It seemed like each girl was counting the minutes before they would be able to leave. It completely wore me out! said Kelly Howard, a sophomore.

We called each other the night before to figure out who would bring what and what time we would all get to school the next day, said Sophomore Christine Gries. Totally unaware of what was happening at school, the birthday girl, Lori Datin, rounded the corner, only to see decora- tions all over her locker and the floor. We weren ' t expecting her to get to school that early. When she did, we were all really surprised and started cracking up, said Junior Dawn Porkorney. Upon arriving at her locker, Lori was really caught off guard and slightly embar- rassed. She said, I was really surprised when I saw everyone decorating my locker. I was so flattered that my friends remembered my birthday! I really thought they had forgotten. Decorating lockers has been a tradition at Memorial for a long time. It was a visible sign that another student had aged (and matured) another year. Keeping a lookout. Sophomore Christine Gries watched for Lori Datin. the birthday girl.

Right around lunchtime the subtle pangs of hunger and unbearable groans of empty stomachs would begin. We were taking a test in class one day and everyone was really quiet, when all of a sudden my stomach growled really loud. It was so embarrassing when everybody started to laugh, said Sophomore Gena Ehrhardt. Some students were lucky and had an early lunch, while others had to wait for the dreaded Eighth period lunch! Sophomore Danny Ziemer said, I don ' t like having lunch eighth because it ' s too long from breakfast until when I get to eat, and I get really hungry in class. Once the school day was over, and all of the lunches finished, some sopho- mores went to the Food Court at Eastland Mall. They arrived in anticipation of eating their favorite kinds of foods. I really like Italian foods, they are my favorite, probably because my mom is Italian and she fixes them all of the time. My favorite dish is lasagna, said Sophomore Tricia McCabe. After eating as much as they possibly could, the sophomores returned home, hoping that tfiey had curbed their loud stomachs which would again the next day interrupt the silence of their studies.

Friday night ' s plans were up in the air along with Juniors Shelly Barton and Julie Brubaker. Bumming around after school was a way to relax with friends and make plans for the weekend. f y Students bum for fun They could be seen just about every- where, local malls, movie theaters, or crowded in front of the tube. Junior students bumming around for a lack of anything else to do. Junior Amy Wanne- muehler said, It ' s fun to get together with fhends at the mall and scream on people, or just be obnoxious. No money was necessary to loaf around, consequently, students could be found walking down the street, watching cars go by, or browsing at Eastland Mall, scoping for that perfect person, the one they had always dreamed of. Junior Stephanie Morein said, A group of us went ice skating not too long ago. It was something different to do, and didn ' t cost that much. It was a lot more dangerous than watching movies, but also lots of fun. After a full week of school, worrying about what had to be finished by Fnday, loafing around was a great way to relax and be with fhends, said Junior Brian Holtz, By the time Fhday came, every- body was ready to blow school off and have a good time, without spending too much money. It was time to finally be free of the dreaded dress code and act a little weird. Junior John Carroll said, Bumming around may not have sounded like the best way to spend time with fhends, but it was a fun way to get out of the house and relax. Everyone had a chance to really be himself. Junior Julie Brubaker possesses concentration, the key to the beginning of a successful soccer career.

These students helped to clean the class- rooms or run the bookstore. Not only was pocket money made, but many friendships were started because of the communication that was just part of the job. Junior Mark Schuler said, I really like to work. It ' s been fun because I meet people I wouldn ' t ever get to see during class. The school employed students not just to help with odd tasks, but in order to teach them about responsibility and the working of definite hours in return for a paycheck. I think most people ' s motiva- tion for working is money, but another benefit these students get from their work is pride in themselves. A lot of people see the work that these students have done. When they finish for the day they can look at their hall and think, I ' ve done a great job! said Miss Liiada Eberhard, vice principal. Some students helped to clean up classrooms by straightening desks, washing blackboards, and emptying wastebaskets, while others worked in the b ookstore selling anything that was there to be bought, or restocking the shelves when shipments came in. All students were eligible for the school jobs, and many took advantage of them. w Straightening up ttie physics room. Sophomore Charity Moore dumps all of the latest tests into the trash.

The endless phone calls, the chaotic meetings, and the constant differences of opinion had all come to an end. Prom planning started in June and continued all the way until Prom night. Choosing a place to have it and a theme were probably the most difficult parts of the planning, said Junior Mary Keller. Everyone had their own opinions and no one wanted to give in to anyone else. After much arguing, the committee decided on In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins for the 1986 Prom theme. The Prom committee was also responsible for providing music, organizing food and drinks, getting chaperones, and finally decorating. Students wondered which was more difficult, the months of planning the dance or actually planning their own individual evenings. I had the hardest time choosing where to take my date to eat, said Junior Joe Melchoirs. But after I made the reserva- tions and picked out my tuxedo, every- thing went O.K.!

Whether filled with fact or fic- tion, they were read for fun. Junior Nora Elliott said, I read mine for fun. I just like to see if what it says will happen. It ' s really kind of weird when it does. If salt was spilled, many students, out of habit, picked some up and threw it over their left shoulder. If using a sodium salt substitute, would the same ritual be necessary? Most people scanned over clover patches as they walked through them, hoping to find the cherished good luck sign, the four-leaf clover. Junior Rita Patterson said, I used to look for them with my sisters. We would see who could find one first. All of us tried to cheat, by ripping a leaf in half and counting it as two. What if a mutant eight or nine-leaf clover was found? Did it mean better luck, or did it mean that a student had just walked over a toxic-waste site? Everyone had their little quirks. Some people even had a rabbit ' s foot hanging from their rearview mirrors along with fuzzy dice, only for decoration of course, certainly not for luck! Gazing into the broken mirror, like having a rabbit ' s foot, could be a sign of good luck for Junior Pat Edwards. Many students at Memorial were un- decided as to their beliefs concerning superstitions.

Would the responses to the questions be correctly coordinated with the answer sheet? Would any of the material covered be even vaguely familiar? These were just a few worries that Junior students had as they prepared for the dreaded S.A.T. Junior Lisa Horning said, My main concern was just doing well enough on the test, and not freezing when I took it. Some students spent much time prepanng for the test, while others did not prepare at all. For a few, getting ready in- cluded attending an S.A.T. course at the University of Evansville. Junior Shelly Barton said, It helped a lot to take the course. The instructor showed ways to do the test and I also learned a lot of math and vocabulary. I believe the test is impossible to study for, said Junior Joanie Seibert. The only way to prepare for the test is to start study- ing long before high school. Wit h all of their fears and expectations for the S.A.T., the students readied themselves for the upcoming event. Adding his name to the already tremendous list, Junior Darren Richardson signs up for the S.A. T. All seniors and some juniors took the S.A.

Reading was a favorite hobby of many students. reading arouses imagination As the school year progressed, most students were required to read books for classes. These required novels helped to spark interest in the minds of some students who cuddled up with a good book, warm blanket, and hot chocolate on the weekend or whenever they had some free time. Many classics were enjoyed by the students. Stories were delved into with great enthusiasm, and fingernails were chewed as plots thickened. Eyeballs scanned the pages quickly to find out, What happens next? My favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger. Holden Caufield, the main character, was really easy to re- late to because he was a teenager grow- ing up with some of the same problems that teenagers today have, said Junior Lonita Bellies. Characters in some of the novels be- came students ' friends, heroes, and idols, giving the readers feelings that they could easily relate to. Junior Robert Bennett said, The Stand, by horror writer Stephen King, is my favorite book. It was based on something that could actually happen, and the characters could be real people. It was full of action and fun to read. Books became new friends, or old fhends found again, to help fill up the extra hours outside of school, to many lists of favorite hobbies, changes were made, and reading was given a higher priority. The latter added spark to the imagination, feelings, and thoughts of students, mak- ing for fun, relaxing hours of time spent in different lands, on other planets, and with new friends. Quickly flipping pages to find out wfiat fiappens next, Junior Pat Davis visits ttie future. Many students were intrigued with the settings, characters, and plots of classical authors. 82 J.

Time had come for him to leave the safety of his home to taste the world awaiting him. Would he make it on his own? It was a risk he would have to take. Like the bird, may seniors expressed a similar fear of leaving home for college, yet most of them strongly stressed a need for independence. They possessed a need to get away from the pressures of home and parents, mostly, a need to live as an adult. I think if I lived near home for college, I would be tempted to always drop in for money and food, said Senior John Sasse. By going away to college, I ' m giv- ing independence a full chance! Distance away from home did not matter a great deal to the students, although most admitted they would like to be close enough to see their families on vacations.

Since then everything and eve ryone has changed so much. The evolution of greenie to the elite of the school, was a trying, but most rewarding process for most seniors. Being a senior, even with having harder classes and more responsibilities, is definitely better than being a freshman. said Senior Jeff Tucker. There ' s a lot more to do and a lot more fun to be had! I remember when I was a freshman. We had to sit in the balcony during assem- blies in the auditorium. You could not hear very good and it was so hot, said Senior Chris Gehlhausen. But now we sit in the middle and you can see and hear a lot better. The four years saw a wide assortment of fashions, fads, and jargon come and go. Sometimes these things would change as quickly as they had arrived. It was a challenge to keep up with the times! Appearance and popularity were not the most important aspects of the senior class ' high school career. Maturity and wisdom that was gained during the four years proved to be the biggest achieve- ment. Being a senior made me feel a sense of responsibility that an adult should have, explained Senior Nicole Gauthier. I never got used to the fact that we, as seniors, were the top of the school. When the seniors were freshmen, I was in the same position. It was my first year, too! said Principal Gerry Adams. We all have learned a lot in these past four years. But the biggest achievement Is that the seniors gained a sense of con- fidence about themselves and that is im- portant! During his freshman year.

Pat was given the opportunity to do something that most teenagers do not muster up the courage to do, pilot an airplane. After spending a summer learning how to fly, Pat was able to obtain his pilot license. At the beginning of summer, I joined the Aviation Explorer group at Dress Regional Airport, explained Pat. I flew everyday for an hour and was in the classroom for another hour. According to Pat, Flying an airplane is not any harder than driving a car. the bad thing, he said, is that someone con- tinually watches you on radar. You are under pressure to do everything right. Pat made his first solo flight at the Henderson Airport. I was more excited than nervous when the plane left the ground and I was all alone. It was a great feeling to know I had so much control over something that big! After his first flight, Pat flew an airplane about once every week for the rest of the summer. I flew as often as I could. But because I rented the planes I flew, I ran out of money very quickly! It definitely is not an inexpensive hobby! said Pat. Pat feels that the experience he has gained from his early flying expehences will be an advantage to him in the long run. After all, his dream is to be a pilot.

The ten seniors who were nominated for these awards were: Sherry Anken- brand, Elyse Dilger, Tony Head, Nick Hamilton, and Rick Jillson. Also included were Kellie Leet, Leslie Remien, Elaine Rice, Theresa Tucker and Lynne Wallander. I was so excited when I found out, said Senior Theresa Tucker, that I was chosen to represent Memorial. Each senior entered one of the required areas which were literary or visual art, vocal or instrumental music, dance, or theatrical art. I ' ve been working with Mr. Woodruff for a while now, said Senior Tony Head. He taught me many different acting techniques, allowing me to be con- fident ' enough to enter the theatrical competition.

Sometimes it wasn ' t because I was tired either, said Senior Rick Jillson. Most of the time it was be- cause the class was so boring! All thoughts were not just focused on the weekends though. Some seniors thought about what they were going to do after they graduated. It ' s a scary feeling to think I ' m going to be on my own, said Jane Lord, senior.

In a frenzied attempt seniors thed to eat out in 23 minutes. The lucl y ones, however, were able to combine their study hall with their lunch period to allow them more time. Before each lunch period, seniors could be seen finalizing their plans during their classes. No one ever seemed to know where to go until the last minute, said Senior Chris Jenkins. We usually ended up deciding on our way out the door! Hardees, Pizza Hut, Taco John ' s, and Subway were the destinations set each week for most seniors. We just tried to pick the place that would be the closest to reach in our short amout of time, said Senior Angle Frasier. After the plans were made and the driver was designated, seniors hurried to allow the most time possible to inhale their meal. Open campus was a change in the regular routine of each week, said Senior Diane Franke. It was a privilege only given to seniors and it made me feel spe- cial! Oeniors I C? let the games begin The past year was both interesting and challenging for six Memorial students that participated in a decathalon, a mental decathalon. The six students: Seniors Scott Hollingsworth, Eric Miller, and Mark Seib along with Juniors Martina Jones, Mary Keller, and Joey Williamson, were chosen by Mr. Brauchia, chemistry professor, after some suggestions of possible participants were made by Sr. Margaret Quinlan, teacher of Develop- mental Reading and American Literature. I chose people who I thought to be asser- tive, and knowledgable students who would be able to endure oral ex- aminations and give quick answers, said Sr. Quinlan. I also gave consideration to students who would be enthusiastic about the competition, and be willing to spend all of the time that it would take to prepare outside of school. The topics covered during the one day event ranged from immigration and the economy to artists, their works, and any type of science-calculus to physics. I couldn ' t believe we covered as many topics in the little time that we had. We spent at least three hours every Sunday at Mr. Brauchla ' s house preparing, and much of my free time in the afternoon was spent studying for the competition, said Junior Mary Keller. Tests were both oral and written. One paper had to be written, a prepared speech was to be given, an impromptu speech was required, and many hours of testing filled the contestant ' s day. Much time was spent trying to prepare for the event. Long nights at Mr. Brauchla ' s and early mornings at Joey ' s house were spent broadening the horizons of the six students. ' The hours didn ' t seem so long because we always got off of the subject and ate our way through the three hour sessions, said Eric. Much time, energy, and dedication was demanded and the group returned from Jasper with thirty-five awards. Mr. Brauchia said, 1 really wish everyone could have the opportunity to experience the wide range of intellectual pursuits which comprise the meat of the academic decathalon. It ' s a pleasure meeting with students somewhere without desks to discuss concepts beyond the bounds of the normal curric- ulum. Particularly delightful is seeing how easy it is to learn about such ' refined ' areas as art history and musical styles. It ' s amazing what a vacuum exists concern- ing our cultural heritage. Also, targeting areas in math and science such as genetics and gas laws for in depth study enables me to explore higher level ideas than I ' d normally attempt in a normal classroom.

However, all students could be found frequenting the busy guidance office. In 1 984, a new counselor was hired and a different policy was started; there would be one counselor for the freshmen and sophomore students, Mrs. Suzanne Farney, and another for the junior and senior students, Mrs. Mary Lou Weiden- bener. This was an important step be- cause it gave the counselors two years to get to know the students. Mrs. Weidenbener said, It gives me a better understanding of what kind of help a student needs in choosing a career goal or college. She added that it also made it easier for her to finish the many letters of recommendations she wrote for senior students for their college applications. The counselors were responsible for many areas of a student ' s high school career. Mrs. Farney helped the freshmen to adjust to their new surroundings. She made sure that they were placed in the proper classes and that they were in- volved with school activities. The guidance office also arranged and administered all testing programs, includ- ing the DAT, the SAT, and PSAT. The office had all sorts of information for students. Career day was arranged by counsel- ors and teachers to help the students un- derstand what was available in the job market. Career day really helps you learn a lot about fields you are interested in, said Junior Pat Edwards. You learn many facts about a job that you can not find anywhere else! The counselors have played an im- portant role in the lives of the students, something that will always be appreci- ated! Beirig in charge of the sophomore DAT. Counselor.

In a nnidst of rushed deadlines, caffeine, late-night sessions and Domino ' s pizzas, they had to take time out to raise the $16,000 needed for their budget. It wasn ' t an easy task. The hard work was left to Busi- ness Manager Kelly Warren and her assistants, Steve Exiine and Stacey Muehlbauer. A majority of their yearbook classtime was spent in Father Tom ' s office, call- ing for sponsors or patrons. Many local businesses as well as I Memorial parents bought a space in the yearbook, feeding the hungry piggy bank. Money from yearbook sales also added to the cash flow. But there was never more than enough spare change, and finances were tight. This year, said Kelly, funds started off kind of slow because there was a decline in fall yearbook sales. Students just don ' t realize how frustrating this business can be. Savoring each bite, senior Steve Kreigel munches on a trench fry.

When there wasn ' t a game or a school function and money was short, there was but one alternative, renting movies. Renting video tapes was a fun. Inex- pensive, and easy way to enjoy the weekends. Most movie rental places charged between $2.00 and $4.00 to rent one movie for twenty four hours. Some of the movies frequently watched were Rambo , Beverly Hills Cop , and The Breakfast Club . Renting movies did not take a lot of planning and could be arranged at the last minute. All that was needed was someone who had a VCR and was willing to host up to fifteen or twenty people. Rentals ranged from sweet romances to bloody horrors. Whatever the topic, they seemed to attract more attention than anything else. What more appeal do you need than to have your favorite person next to you when fright enters the pic- ture? More often than not, by the end of the evening, you would find a few marks on your arm where some- one had latched on during the scary parts. Renting video tapes was definitely a good, clean, fun, common way to spend an otherwise boring night. It had a way of bringing a whole cluster of friends together! Deciding on a favorite movie, freshman Roxanne Crowe prepares for a evening witii fnends. 210 Ad A MS OIL Products Protect Your Automotive Investment!

In between the frenzied action, the question, What are we going to do after tfie game? hummed through the student section. Each year the seniors had a favorite place to go sit, eat, and exchange gossip. Freshman year found the class of ' 86 donning the parking lot of Pizza Hut. Then Godfather ' s became the place to be fol- lowing the games. Godfather ' s, because of secuhty rea- sons, became off-limits so fvlHS students, ever so nonchalantly, sauntered over to Amigo ' s parking lot. Soon this fad died out and became a place to go only as a last resort. As summer started. Memorial students looked for a place to go to call their own. The class of ' 86 contracted senioritis as the vacation grew shorter and their last year of school approached. As the autumn leaves fell, seniors dis- covered Noble Roman ' s on Washington Avenue and made it the new Tiger hot spot to be. Breadsticks seemed to be the culi- Eating favorite weekend snacks.

Weekends also found students at the Victory, but that, too, became a place to go when nothing else was happening. The Class of ' 86 definitely started new trends throughout their high schoo career. Each senior, by the end of their final year possessed a special kind of style. It was evident that they had finally come together! Freshman year brought the class of ' 86 to the lot of Pizza Hut. This became the greenie hangout after football and basketball games. Ads 21 7 H. WAYNE HARTIG HARTIG EtEamC DESIGNERS AND CONSTRUCTORS (812) 425-2272 Office P.O. Box 3192 120 E.

I Keeping In Touch Each year has always ex- pressed its own unique style, and 1986 was no exception. As a nation, America ex- perienced both prosperous times and unfortunate ones. President Ronald Reagan worked for a better relationship with the Soviet Union, while a dispute with Libya almost brought us to war. Researchers developed a preventive medicine for the common cold, but they failed to find a cure for the deadly disease AIDS. The Tylenol scare was reinstated when more cyanide capsules were found. The National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) prepared the United States ' first civilian astronaut. Teacher Christa McAuliffe, for her ride on the space shuttle Challenger. Moments after liftoff, the journey abruptly ended in an explosion of the shuttle. It was the first fatal accident in space, and the worst disaster in NASA ' S history. As a school, Memorial lived through America ' s losses and tri- umphs. We over-came problems of our own to find success. We dis- covered that whether in classes, in sports or in projects, we worked best when we worked together. As seniors made plans for the fu- ture, they remembered their past four years at Memorial. They dragged out stuffed photo albums and yellowed notes to remember the laughter and the tears they shared with friends. They made promises to always keep in touch and to never say goodbye. Their style showed once more at graduation, when seniors realized that Memorial had helped them grow up. Together.
