Y Many points made the 1985 school year Not J ust Another Dragon Tale his is the story of a small school and its 529 students set in the midst of a growing community by the name of Sellersburg. Their tale is primarily a happy one, but yet, touched with moments of melancholy as all good stories must be. Silver Creek is the name of the school and its inhabitants are often- times labeled as ttMighty Dragons? tMightyt describes, not only the athletes of the school twho well deserve the titlehbut also the clubs, organizations and extra-curricular activities its students are involved in. The publications department, as the official author of this historical tale, hopes this 192 page narrative adequately recalls the past year. In many ways, it was just the same. as the past 59 years; but, in just as many other ways, our latest story is a lot different. For instance, the participa- tion of the girls? cross country team in the state finals, the 7 period day and the new computer literacy class.

According to an Indiana state regulation, all public schools must include a computer literacy class in their curriculum effective at the beginning of the 1985386 school year. However, S.C. ijumped the guni and installed the course one year before deadline. To include the 9-week class, an extra period was added to the existing 6 hour schedule. The first bell rang at 8:00 every morning and school adjourned at 3:10. This switch didnit agree with the majority of students as well as teachers. The general concensus was one of sheer exhaustion at the conclusion of each week. Most of the population also disliked the computer class. itThe computer class was silly because of the way it was set up. You didnt have to pass the class, you just had to take it, commented senior Todd Richardson.

Standing alone, that one, single utterance carries more meaning than paragraphs of words can. Silver Creek joined in the Christ- mas spirit along with the rest of the world in 1984. The Holiday Tourney returned after its one year absence when the Tip-Off Tourney reigned, and to add a touch of Christmas spirit to the games, the drama department performed short skits in the front lobby as fans filed in. uWe put the skits on mainly to bring more publicity to the theater? commented jr. Scott Fleming who portrayed Joseph and Mr. Scrooge in 'two seperate skits. The SC. thespians held their annual Christmas party at the home of theater director, Diane Ems. One factor that made this holiday party different was that the guests were required to wear costumes! Also getting into the spirit of the season was the Sunshine Society, Band, and Choir. On the morning of December 15th, Sunshine held their annual ttBreakfast With Santa for area chil- dren. The father, of junior Jamie Tungate portrayed Santa Claus.

In the world of basketball the boyst varsity team was coached by Mr. John Bradley after the departure of Coach Ross. The cheerleaders shone at Depauw University summer camp, bringing home 7 superior ribbons, 6 excellent ribbons and one outstanding ribbon, along with a spirit megaphone.

This section is l K different than others because it pertains to all pupils. For a school with an enrollment of only 529, 8.0. is actually on an advanced level. Academic fads come and go, so West Clark decided to update some of their courses. Among the changes were new classes which included; calculus, advanced P.E., sociology, and a college English writing course was offered to seniors. Outside of curriculum, four student teachers were temporarily added, involving social studies, math, and two in the sciences. The biggest change of all was the addition of a nine week, mandatory computer class. Mr. Mollahan, principal, replied, ltWe are constantly seeking to improve our curriculum.

Tim puts it together by singing Er acting A big part of Silver Creek has come from their drama department. In turn, an individual has given his talents of singing and acting to help make the theatre a part of S.Cfs pride. This person is senior Tim Eaton. Being involved in twelve plays is Timis history in the 8.0. Theatre. iiMy favorite play was iGodspellB Out of all the preference, this one was the most fun for mef' commented Tim, who also said his perfer- ence of plays is musical. From his first performance in high school, Cinderella, to his last, Camelot? it wasnit always roses. When his sister, alumnus of 8.0. Theatre, Kathi Eaton, introduced him into acting, he was extremely nervous. But as he says now, It comes natural. A good future is in store for Tim. After attending a two-week summer minors program at Indiana State University, Tim was presented with a talent grant at the college. Numerous factors, including friends, and performances, have gone into Tim's decision to continue on acting throughhis life. Tim stated, I would like to thank the faculty and staff of Silver Creek and thank especially Diane Ems, who introduced theatre into my life.,' By: Angela Robertson Pinching the cheeks of cute little Snoopy, portrayed by Artie Dickerson, soph., are his friends Jamie Tungate, jr., Laura Flickner, fin, and Robin Meyers, sr., from the cast of iiYouire a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

The cast members put on an excellent performance. For the most part, the play was a series of short skits done by the seniors. It involved the works of Charles Schultz, author of the saga of Charlie Brown, a nice guy who cant do anything right. A large amount of credit goes to the competent technical staff, and to student director, Jenny Shreve, sr. ttI sort of have to oversee things when Ms. Ems is absent. I help the cast with their cues and answer any general questions they might have, stated Jenny. Ms. Diane Ems, director and designer of the show, concluded, tt1 thought ttYouH'e A Good Man, Charlie Brown was completely delightful. It was a simple and direct play, and thoroughly enjoyable.

The 85 election year was unlike any other! The seniors who attended Mr. Mike Crabtree,s government classes encountered a real change in pace. Topics of class conversations were rather different because of the many changes brought about by the election. These changes included the first woman candidate to run for a presidential spot in politics, the oldest president ever to be re-elected, and the fact that most of the students in the class will soon be eligible to vote. A few of S.CYs seniors had already reached the voting age. When asked how they felt about being able to vote, women in politics, and how they covered the material in government class, Karen Millman, senior, replied, llI really enjoyed being able to vote because it really felt good to be involved. I think having a female candidate is a Election year brings out new voters assistance at the polls on election day. w ,9. M 2w, ,1er good idea and Mr. Crabtree really covers everything in detail?

I have no ill-regards with a woman running for office, and if she is qualified, I would consider voting for her. Mike Crabtree, government, and economics teacher, commented, le like to see my students begin to feel more comfortable when subjects come up dealing with the complex issues that face our country? liWe all have a right and a responsibility to exercise our franchise as a voting citizen.

Mr. Mattox began his college education at I.U. in Bloomington, majoring in history, and has a minor in psychology. His teaching career started as a student teacher at 8.0., and afterwards, he stayed on at nThe Creek?

The social studies instructor lives in Charlestown with his wife, Donna, and three children: Kristin, ten; Kerri, eight; and Kimra, 81x. In his spare time, Mr. Mattox likes to read historical novels, and occasionally plays golf. When questioned about his opinion of 8.0., he stated? Silver Creek's a good typical middle-class school?

In the mist of this S.C. ltalel is perhaps one of the most important academic elements - English. English is the most universal language in the world today! The big addition for this year was a college English composition course concerning the writing of essays. The class is instructed by Professor Millard Dunn, a college professor from Indiana University Southeast. Many area schools have had this program for several years. The benefits from the course are that it counts as three college credit hours. The class consisted of seven S.C. students and nine from Henryville. It was offered to all seniors who had achieved a itBll average, costing $152.50 to participate. When asked about her feelings for the class, senior, Libby Coale, replied, uI think itls a good idea because its different from any other class that you can take in high school.

Boredom bores new lifestyles for instructor Time really does bring about new changes! When Ms. Diane Ems came to 8.0. twelve years ago, creating a top'notch the- atrical program hadntt even been considered. Before taking over the direction of the drama department, it was head- ed by Mr. William Mos- ley, science instructor, and Mrs. Emily Fulcher, English instructor. The t only productions being presented at this time were performed by seniors. Ms. Ems commented that she took the job primarily out of boredom. The only professional training in her career for theatrics is a make-up and design course at Ball State University. As far as teaching goes, the innovative instructor believes that learning should be fun and, therefore, steps should be taken to make education more significant. Ms. Ems also explained that, for her, teaching methods vary from year to year and even from class to class. ttEach student is different and their abilities to learn are also different, she added. She feels that her job is not only to present the information and knowledge to students, but to do her best by teaching with methods that benefit each individual in their own way. Mr. Sprinklets understudy during the first semester grading period is student teacher Mr. Keith Hedges. Science benefits: Application of knowledge aids in everyday chores Science: itis an important part of academic function. A large proportion of our daily lives require at least a slight knowledge of science. Simple chores like reading a thermometer or interpreting the meterologistts forecast utilize science to some degree. As far as careers g0, science is a necessity to many. Engineering requires several years of science in high school and college. Mr. Sprinkle, science instructor, commented, ttMost colleges require more than one year of science, especially in career-related fields? A variety of student teachers dominated the science classes. In place of Mr. Sprinkle, Mr. Keith Hedges, the former Jeff swim coach, taught both General and Earth Science. Mrs. York, in Mr. Mosleyis class, instructed biology.

BY SHERI MCMANUS Animal kingdom found in biology courtyard Silver Creek recently has been host to animals boarding in the labora- tory and the courtyard behind the biology class- rooms. The creatures ranged from rabbits and finches to snakes and, most recently, opposums. Students of 8.0., such as Greg Balmer, sr., Sean Shelton, soph., and Danny Standiford, soph., brought in ' these var- ments to conduct exper- iments and other scien- tific purposes for their biology classes. According to Mr. Wil- liam Mosley, biology teacher, the oddest animal has been the goat, winning over the candidacy of chickens and turtles. During the extreme weather and tempera- tures the past winter, there were animals that died. Two out of three rabbits froze to death due to overexposure. Out of the three rabbits that were in the courtyard, senior Greg Balmer brought in two dutch rabbits; a male and a female. According to Greg, Mr. Mosley thought it would be a good idea to bring the two rabbits for reproduction purposes. However, due to the deaths, the experiment was not followed through. The students enjoy these animals and before bringing them in must speak to proper authorities.

Bond director sparks .a new sense of pride The improvement of S.C.'s band this year credits at great deal of its success to Mr. Larry Hoover, band director. Mr. Hoover is in his second year, and during this time, the band has gained viable respect through its progress. For instance, the band did extremely well in class double D competition, which is for inexperienced bands. Bachelor Hoover pres- ently resides in Clarks- ville, although he origi- nally hails from Bradford, Ohio. Majoring in music, Mr. Hoover attended the world famous music department at Indiana University in Bloomington. live been interest- ed in teaching music since about junior high, stated the band director. Formerly, he taught at a school named! Barr-Reeve, in Montgomery, In. Presently, he is instructing one class at the senior high, two at the junior high, and one at each of the two grade schools, Sellersburg and Stout. When asked to comment on his future plans for-improving the S.C. band, the director concluded; ttI dont think the S.C. band is as bad as some think. I plan on having them march more in the future. ' By: Sheri McManus S.C. Morchers are on parade accompanied by a new image Bond is aided by Director Hoover Dedication, cooperation, and determination are three ingredients that make up Silver Creeks prideful band, which has gone through the change from once low moral to the heights of a truly spirited band. Band directors have come and gone. The latest count was four band directors, Mr. Parkey, Ms. Barber, Mr. Bean, and Mr. Hoover, the present director, in the past six years, which might account for the bands dilemma. The S.C. musicians spent many hours doing what they do best; playing music, according to Mr. Larry Hoover, band director. ttThere was a two-week band camp before school started this year. Each section would come in and practice to try and eliminate their mistakes, added the director. The band continued to be active with two field competitions and two concerts. They participated in the Booster Parade and performed during basketball games. The field competitions were two events the S.C. band was not fully accustomed to. Their last field competition was four years ago, with band director Parkey. This year, however, Hoover motivated the band and entered them in Charlestown, Sept. 22, and Columbus, Sept. 29. tContinued on page 253 LEFT: Prior to the contest in Columbus, a variety of emotions are displayed by freshmen Eric Amsler and Kris Anderson.

Band members do a sidestep performance to the tune of uSabbath Prayerv during the Charlestown field competition. The band placed fourth out of ten bands. Fourth place out of ten bands was the result of the Charlestown competition while at Columbus the marchers didnlt qualify to place due to the class DD category in which they were entered. The field contests offered a chance for individuals to perform solos while the band stood behind them. The soloists from SC. were Jeff Everett, sr., and Karen Edwards, jr. Lisa Crouse, the SC. field commander, commented on the marchersl outlook after the contest. tlDuring the field competitions, the band relaxed and did a terrific job, with just several minor mistakes, making it easier for me? The troops then took off their marching shoes to perform their two concerts which were open to the public. They performed an outdoor concert, held in Speed Park, accompanied with a special dinner afterward for their guests. The Christmas concert was presented in the auditorium. The band constantly performed as ttpepil band during all home varsity basketball games, providing half-time entertainment and performing such hits as Hump? uWrapped Around Your Finger? and the theme song from ttA-Team? The musicians also performed the traditional game-opener, itThe Star Spangled Banner. According to Deron Naugle, student president of the SC. band, the pep band performances, the concerts, field competitions, and the help of director Hoover, have all helped the band to get straightened out and, once again, gain the respect they deserve.

From the first rehearsal to the final show itts a constant re- sponsibility. The theatre depart- ment in the past school year presented three productions, each with its own student director. The first itYotfre A Good Man Charlie Browni, was student dir- ected by Jenny Shreve, sr., itThe Philadelphia Story - Jamie Tungate, jr., and ttCamelotti -- Stephanie Eppler, sr. The many chores of an assistant director consist of prompting lines, keeping track of blocking, reigning over the prop crew, lights person, and sound person, basic organization, and even running errands. The only requirements for the position are that you must be a junior or senior, and you must have some kind of experience with theatre. Jamie Tungate replied, I thought The Philadelphia Story was one of the best plays S.C. has produced. Being student director was a wonderful experience, and it would be great if more people could have the privilege. Pd like to continue participating in theatre, but as for being student director again, Pd rather give others a chance. by: Paul Brinley I x Tracy Lord, portrayed by Jeanie Straight, jr., throws a dazzling smile towards conniving Mike Connor, played by Tim Eaton, sr., who gains some courage from a little booze. ai- 7 a me T Sharing a moment of sisterly love is Jeanie Straight, alias Tracy Lord, jr., and Elizabeth Yost, soph., playing Dinah Lord, trying to make it in their confused and troubled lives.

The arrival of the production brought about many new and unexpected changes. Tracy Lord, the lead role, was portrayed by Jeanie Straight, jr., and the script called for red hair. Jeanie, being a blonde brought her character to life by temporarily dying her hair. Since the story takes place in the late t30ts and early t40ts, the male actors were asked to momentarily dispose of their 803 hair styles and get an inch or ttmorett taken off! After all the changes and six weeks of rigorous rehearsals, the fourteen performers were finally ready for an audience. However, unforeseen difficulties occurred! Jeanie was hospitalized for three days thereby causing a show date delay. When she recovered, the show went on, only one week later than originally scheduled.

Academically, Greg and Wendy are very active. Greg is second in his class With a g.p.a. of 3.9 while Wendy is seventh with a g.p.a. of 3.78. Both Wendy and Greg are awaiting scholarships and want to attend Indiana University. Wendy plans to be a child psy- chologist or a literature teacher while Greg wants to further his education in journalism in the field of broadcasting or newspaper and he still wants to continue taking pictures.

The courses that are now offered are: typing, accounting, business law, shorthand, and office practice. Typing is available for two years with a one semester course of personal typing! Wendy Osbourne, jr; replied, ttIn accounting we learn to keep business ledgers, how to keep the ledgers on computers, and to keep the financial records organized. I feel that it has helped me because if for some reason I should ever have my own business I will have some idea of how it works? The only change in this year,s business program was that business math was moved from the business to the math department of the curriculum. Paul Brinley Trips, judges, and insurance agents are business as usual ttIf any student plans mmw.w on majoring in business, t they should definitely take business law, stated Mrs. Sue Mosley. Business law is an all-purpose class that goes beyond the limits of a textbook. Mrs. .Mosley explained that the class covers topics that consist of: court procedure, legal terminology, and general knowledge, such as; bank- ing, contracts, finances, renting and buying houses, mortgages, and even wills. The instructor went on to say that at times the class will discuss events which may be happening either locally or nationally in the news. During the school year, the business law classes are visited by various guest speakers. This year Clark County Judge Jacobs gave a presentation and provided time for classmates to ask questions. Mr. Don Krajnak also joined the class to teach a unit on insurance. The group also attended a court session and witnessed an arraignment. Mrs. Mosley mentioned that 8.0. has a two semester course, where most other area high schools offer only one semester. She went on to say that she cant see how they do it because she can just barely skim the top in one year. 4A. omen; in... mm... 4.442 A 2 . Experiencing a typing class can be hectic at times.

If so, there are electives at Silver Creek just for you. They are found in Industrial Arts. Industrial Arts offers many courses depending on ones level of achievement and what one is willing to achieve. There are the drafting classes that are offered for those students with drawing ability. One needs this in order to construct sketches, scale models, and other structures that are needed in the architectural field. Other Industrial Arts classes include the art of welding so necessary in numerous career fields. John Gramlin, soph., commented, til took the metals class in order to learn how to weld, because my dad is giving me a job in machine tool operation? iiMr. Arnett, retired S.C. instructor, helped a lot during the year with the welding program, ttstated Mr. J ohn Tucker, Industrial Arts instructor. Another elective can be found in the woods classes. The machines to build these masterpieces include the band saw, sander, and the wood lathe.

As each year arrives, it seems that new, added college requirements appear with it. Among these new qualifications, the study of foreign languages is vastly becoming more important. According to Spanish instructor, Mrs. Evelyn Heiligenberg, many universities, such as Purdue in West Lafayette, Indiana, now consider Spanish a necessity in certain areas of study. This spring a group of thirty-six, made up of students, faculty, and chaperones, set out to explore various sites and activities in Mexico. These included: pyramids, the floating gardens of Xochimilca, watching cliff divers, and a cruise around Acapulco Bay. Shelly Padgett, junior, replied, ttThe thing that sticks out in my mind most is that while I was in Mexico, I realized more than anything that when youtre forced to use your Spanish - it really lets you know how much youtve learned!

Senior departs with unique achievements For the past four years, Andy Flicknerls life, like most of his senior class- mates, has centered around an institution known to all of us as Silver Creek. Andy says that his stronger courses in his curriculum were math and science. Outside of his academic involve- ment, the senior was a member of several clubs, but most importantly theatre. In answering the ques- tion, ttHow has Andy contributed to the drama departmentf Mrs. Diane Ems, director, replied, ttAndy has been a backbone to the theatre. He has participated in every production for four years, and we couldnt have done it without him? When asked what he gained most by taking part in theatre, Andy answered, It has given me some good friends and a way to express myself. The senior went on to say, ttIf the theatre is in need of any particular change, I think it would be a major dose of tpatiencel. For those students who will try out for plays and musicals in the future, my advice to them is that they should prepare themselves because a lot of work comes along with the play!

Prosser students prepare for their future careers Combining her typing and computer skills along with added concentration is Gina Parks, sr., in computer In the curriculum of many high schools, you will find that preparing students for the future is one of the most important goals. Whether its offering new courses or more advanced ones this goal is always present. SC. is very lucky to co-operate with Prosser Vocational School in New Albany. A total of sixty-three iidragon,i students attended Prosser this year. The vocational school offers a variety of courses such as: cosmetology, horticulture, marketing and distributing, health occupations, office courses, mechanics, computer courses, and a variety of trades. When asked what he gained most by attending Prosser, Joey Burg, senior, replied, uI have taken auto mechanics for two years, and I hope to find a job as a mechanic. Prosser will make it easier for me to get a job? Diane Spaulding, senior, commented, Prosser has helped me tremendously. Taking health occupations has given me the knowledge and experience that will help me in my career as a dental assistant?

As you can see in the . . picture on the right, John g. H Gramlin soph., carefully 1'- observes the robot found in the automation class- room at Prosser Voca- tional school in New Albany. John was there during the annual open-house. Mr. McPhillips, automation class instruc- tor, commented that this is just one of many robotic creatures in Prosserls program. The robot shown is one of a more simpler nature that has only one primary function. The electronical arm is capable of moving and carrying out tests. Mr. McPhillips said that the majority of all students who attended Prosser will visit the automation facilities. In the Kentuckiana area, companies such as General Electric use these types of mechanical aids. According to a former employee at G.E., ttThe use of these types of robotics speed up the assembly lines which then causes a boost in productivity.

Language of Diplomacy French employed in U.N. business and Olympic Games Among other distinctions, French is widely known as the diplomatic language of the world. Negotiations at the i Ilreaty of Versaillesll ending W.W. I were conducted in this tongue. The Olympic Games, ceremonies also are in F rench, and political bargains are formulated at the United Nations conference table utilizing the romantic language of French. In fact, the US. is not a totally English-speaking nation. One state, Louisiana, is actually bilingual. French also contributes much to the English language. French words and phrases are often commonly in use during conversation. Deja vu, for example, means that you feel like youlve experienced something before. Crepes, a very thin pancake-like dish, are enjoyed by Americans every day. The language lab, between the two Putting on their best Sunday outfits to dine at the La Tour Restaurant in Indianapolis are Bryan Couch, fr., and Scott Crone, jr. language classrooms, utilizes modern technology to aid students in proper pronunciation. til believe the language lab helps my students recognize other voices besides mine. They get a chance to hear different accents? commented Mrs. Le Nola Hunter, French instructor. In first year class, the beginners study a little grammar and basic vocabulary skills. Second year students delve more into French life. A map of the Paris Metro ithe subway systeml provides students with yet another aspect of French life. During the third year, grammar is studied in detail, and fourth-year pupils learn some business French, and read novels and poems, of course, all in French.

The senior class officers certainly show all these qualities. President Susan Lyskowinski has led the class from their freshman through their senior year. Susan commented, I think it has been an honor to have been elected president of my class for all four years. During these years, we have all stuck together, worked hard, and had fun? Susanis future plans are to attend Indiana University. Even though her career choice is undecided, shels thinking on majoring in education. Vice-president Greg Gibson has helped guide his class through their two most important years of schooling, Gunior and seniori. Greg has been active in clubs, including the Key Club, and has been a photographer for the publications staff. Being successful in both his grades, clubs, and most of all in serving his class as vice-president, Greg plans to further his success by attending IUS his first year to study journalism and then to continue his studies in Bloomington. Secretary Rita Willinger has also been an officer for all four high school years, three being secretary, the other being treasurer. Rita is very active in various clubs, many of which she holds offices in. Rita,s plans after graduating are to attend IUS and major in elementary education. Treasurer Susan Clemons also has that unique ability to juggle school, activities, and leadership. Susan is active in many clubs, and, like Rita, many she holds offices in. Susanls future plans include attending Purdue to become a pharmacist. The senior class officers have shown that they and their class can and will succeed when they graduate from the hallowed halls of SC. Greg Gibson, being the only male in the line of officers, reigns as vice-president. 01bon Typing and keeping records are all a part of the duties of class secretary Rita Willinger.

Glenda Roberts has overcome these obstacles, because, for the past 2 years, she has been top salesperson for her class. During the cookie sales to raise money for the 84 prom, Glenda brought in a whopping $505. With funds needed to be raised for the senior trip, Glenda jumped right in to raise an unbelievable $661.90. The senior trip costs only $240 and the extra money raised was Glendals to do with it whatever she wanted. I plan on buying clothes and putting it in the bank for college, remarked Glenda about where the money would go. Glenda had help from her family with selling the goods. thy mom works at ICI, and that is where most of the stuff was soldfl added Glenda. She also took it upon herself to personally sell the fundraisers. Several nights after school and on the weekends, Glenda stood in front of the Citizens Bank as well as going door to door. .HQV Captain puts style in dance routine Maintaining good grades, being involved in CYO and FHA, and acting as captain of the pom-pon squad may seem like a hectic schedule, but for Christy Kaufer, this is a normal routine. Christy has been a member of the SC. Dragonettes for 3 years. This year Mrs. Taylor, sponsor, selected her as captain. As captain, Christy helps Mrs. Taylor make decisions, presides over the practices, and for every new routine each girl has to try out for a position, Christy along with Danita Hacker, co-captain, chooses the girls who will perform. le doing something I enjoy tdancingl, and it lets me show my school spirit by performing at the games, commented Christy about her participation in the pom-pon program. With all of this, it seems impossible for Christy to have spare time, but she finds time to help out at all home freshman and girls basketball games, baby sit, and spend time with her boyfriend, Kevin, when hels home from college at Hanover. iabovei Todd Richardson, sr., was one of the many S.C. students who attended the annual iiCollege Fairli. Mrs. Shirley Irby, guidance director, was there to help S.C. students select a college which would best suit their goals. irighti Preparing for his future college plans is junior Paul Brinley as he drills the representative from Western Kentucky University on the aspects of their college. College Fair helps make the next move By: Kelly Brasill College is a big step for any senior, and many decisions have to be made such as which college or university to attend, and where the iigreen to pay the bills is going to come from. But, with the help of college representatives and financial aid coun- selors, these decisions are a little easier to make. Students, as well as parents, were able to discuss some of these problems at the annual liCollege Fairil held at New Albany High School on Tuesday, Oct. 2. The fair was held in the gym with each representative having hismer own display set up. The fair lasted from 7-9 p.m. with two financial aid sessions for parents and students. tlThe idea of the college fair was proposed by college representatives, stated Mrs. Shirley Irby, junior and senior guidance director. Mrs. Irby explained that it was difficult for all of the college reps to visit all of the area high schools and they irepsi made the suggestion to have a college fair where all students could come to one place. With the numerous colleges par- ticipating, New Albanyls large facility was selected as the site to host this affair. Mrs. Irby said, ilIt would be impossible for all of the colleges to fit into the SC. gym? There are 15 area high schools which participate in the college fair, including 8.0. The chairman of the college fair committee is Mr. Don Moore, N.A.H.S. guidance director. In essence, the main purpose of the College Fair is iito allow students and parents to talk to a number of college reps, and also get financial aid information, concluded Mrs. Irby.

David had a happy childhood with an older brother, Brian, and two younger sisters, Jeanie and Debbie. He liked playing cowboys and Indians, G.I. Joe, and army with Brian, and occasionally the girls would talk him into playing house with them. As David grew from a child to a teenager, he wanted to be an ambulance driver, a sky diver, an anesthestist, or a cosmetologist. B-lhwr In memory of . . . David T. Straight His personality was always lovable, friendly, industrious, and big hearted. His interests included music, singing, cars, girls, and bubble gum, with his dislikes consisting of green peas, pickles, olives, a broken car, and being without money. When David attended elementary school, he received a trophy for being elected uCourtesy King . In the sixth grade, he had his first job folding newspapers and of equal importance his first girlfriend. In the eighth grade, he worked in a hospital kitchen, washing dishes. He generously gave up the money that he earned to help his older sister Jeanie start a modeling career, which she still enjoys very much. Later he purchased his first set of wheels. He graduated from the eighth grade with all ilAis and was chosen secretary of his class. His final three years of high school were at Silver Creek. He generally liked his classes and he eagerly hoped to finish all of his classes in January 1985. He was also very excited about his 18th birthday. It was a very important birthday to him and his presents were wrapped and waiting. Then in one hasty and confused moment which was followed too late by a change of mind: Life ended for David on December 14, 1984, only one day before his 18th birthday. For those of us that loved him, liked him, knew him, or just simply shared in his sympathy; we can make the most of the situation by caring and helping each other and living our lives to the fullest. However, the most important aspect of all is for us to learn a lesson and to know that when it comes down to the decision of suicide, it,s not the right way! Talk to someone because things can get better if we want them to. We, the Silver Leaves staff, would . like to thank Davidis family, especially his mother, Barbara Whitaker, for their cooperation in making this story possible. Without their help, it truly could not have been as meaningful.

Although these factors describe our surroundings, there is more to this linstitution of higher learning than meets the eye. For instance, the annual haunt- ed gym, prom festivities, and homecoming are a few examples of the activities that add ttlifell to a studentls year. Open campus also contributes an air of student freedom allowing students to choose what they want for lunch. Even though these events ; consume a majority of time, : students express their individuality by the unique style of ones bedroom and the distinct pets they own. The combination of all the above not only constitutes student life at 8.0., but also develops a well-rounded human being. Devoted fans of Dragon basketball, soph. ! Kelly Powell, srs.

HOMECOMING Audra captures the '85 crown by popular vote By: Rita Willinger As the crowd filed into the brightly decorated gym in pastel streamers of blue, pink, green, and yellow, thoughts of lwho will be the 1985 homecoming queen? filled their heads. Meanwhile, seven girls anxiously waited to be presented to the audience. Before the game began, members of the student council remained after school to enhance the gymnasium with decorations. The theme of the evening was ilA Night in Heavenll with senior Andy Flickner playing the theme song iIce Castlesl 0n the piano as the court made its entrance. Finally, the moment had arrived, the new, 1985 Homecoming Queen, Audra Gaines, was crowned by the 84 queen, Robin East. Not only was Audra bestowed with the crown, but the senior class purchased a necklace with an inscrip- tion llS.C. Queen l85il. The necklace was presented by senior class vice president, Greg Gibson.

The annual S.C. haunted gym was held on Thursday, Oct. 25 by the juniors to help raise money for the T85 prom. Approximately 470 people attended the event hoping to have a tfear sensation, run through their blood. This was the 5th year for the haunted gym while it was the lst year for the Halloween Fun House and Party. Paul Fitzpatrick Junior exclaimed, ttThe haunted gym was pretty wild until I ran into the bleachers while trying to scare someone. V The haunted gym itself brought in a total of $714 while the fun house contributed $197, for a grand total of $911. In order to entertain the close to 160 children tages 9 and undery at the fun house and party, juniors dressed up as friendly spooks, presented treats, had a costume contest and ran films, such as ttOur Gangt, with popcorn provided. Seventy-four juniors spent hours planning the successful event. Tom Fetz, junior, remarked, ttIt was fun! It was great scaring the devil out of people? Sheila Morris, junior class president, concluded, ttItts alot of work and it definitely crosses your mind whether or not its all going to work out. The money sure makes it worth the while, though? With a cold stare, junior, Becky Padgett makes a devilish appearance while helping raise money for the T85 prom. ttDonTt think you're going to steal any of my delicious dinner! is the thought crossing junior, Bobby Myer's mind as he attempts to scare haunted gym attendants. Being an excellent athlete has its rewards as St. Libby Coalesy bedroom walls show. Libby has acquired her ribbons through hard work and dedication in cross country, track, and swimming. By: Wendy Booker Everyone has something that is extra special to them or something they cherish. It is a common trait among teenagers to display these collectibles in various places. One example, where something personal, could be found is your bedroom. Weive all heard the saying, la manls house is his castle, but in a teenagerls case the word bedroom could be better substituted. For most of us, our room is a haven; a safe retreat from the outside world full of uncompleted homework, unfin- ished chores and nagging parents. Just lock the door, crank up the stereo and lie back! Heaven! A personis bedroom also reflects ones unique style and individuality. A good example is sr., Todd Sharp: llYou cant see the floor of my bedroom. ' Itis covered with dirty clotheslil he replied when describing the tunique- ness, of his hideaway. Libby Coale, sr., described her bedroom as: liJust mostly a hodge- podge of lots of things that have to do with me? Her room is covered with various kinds of memorabilia from her school days. Awards won in various sports Libby has participated in line the wall and desk tops in her room along with souvenirs from trips and school events. ilBy looking in my room, I am reminded of a lot of good times because of my pictures, etc? she added. Libbyls room also has a very old-fashioned scheme to it. It has a hard wood floor with wooden pegs and a large walk in closet. A desk, which was Libbyls mothers as a child, sits along one wall and a deacons bench lines the other. To add to her old-fashioned theme, Libby collects miniatures which sit in old stained printers trays. tlI like a room that doesnlt seem so perfect;-mines far from it! One where youire not afraid to mess things up. I like a room that makes a person feel welcome, commented Libby. Going from old-fashioned to modern, sr., Audra Gaines is unques- tionably a smurfaholic! To walk into the room she shares with younger sister Anne, soph., is like stepping into a smurf factory! Audra has collected Smurfs for years; ever since sr., Susan Lyskowinski gave her her first Smurf for her 13th birthday. She now has in her possession approximately 60 smurf items. Scattered in between all of Audrais little blue creatures are pictures and souvenirs, such as cards and flowers, from her boyfriend Kent Offutt. Michael-Maina has engulfed soph. Dawn Hintonis bedroom. Her retreat is covered iliterallyl from top to bottom with the infamous Michael Jackson posters. She has a total of 58 of the stars pictures plastered up around her room. liI have one wall completely covered iwith postersl and Ive started on another one, commented Dawn. M Standing on his waterbed is one way sophomore Craig McGuffy can get close to bikini-clad Heather Thomas. Both Craig and his stuffed animals seem to enjoy Heatheris company.

Pat has been in the family over 20 years and will probably outlive his owners because parrots have a life-expectancy of 75 to 80 years. By: Audra Gaines When the word llpetii comes to mind, most students think of the ever popular animal species of cats, or lmanlsi best friend; the dog. Even though these are the most pouplar, many S.C. students cherish some quite unusual pets. For instance, sophomore Kerri Milleris home might just be mistaken for a small 200. Kerri and her family have acquired a wide variety of animals ranging from the ordinary 3 cats and 3 dogs to the extraordinary, a 4 foot 5 inch bull python snake, horses and last but not least, rats which conveniently serve as snake food. The owner of an extremely unique pet is sophomore Mike Johnson who is the possessor of lizards. When asked why anyone would want a lizard for a pet, Mike replied, llThey were given to me by a friend and I thought they were interesting. So, I decided to keep them. These rare specimens are blue-tailed scinks and go by the name iiTurbo and llFlickii. ltI gave them these names because everytime I would go to pick them up they would dash away and once Pd finally get ahold of them, theyid find some way to llflicker out of your hand, remarked Mike. Senior, Greg Balmer is also the proprietor of a distinct type of rabbit. This solid red rabbit has many interesting characteristics, tother than its colorl. For example unlike most rabbits, it is housebroken and can be walked on a leash. Even with the most popular animals, there are still distinct varieties which would make them stand out. For instance, Senior, John Colburn is the proud owner of a unique dog; a Kauvas. thharsan is solid white weighing 125 lbs, and is also multi-talented! llHe can take off your socks, open the screen door, and even sit on the couch like a normal person, stated John. Showing their love for the affectionate dog and feisty raccoon are fr. Terry Knies, sr. Chris Capps, and soph. Robin Capps. Snickers, the raccoon and Toby are thought of as members of the family. w, 3w73 Ready, aim, fire! Frosh.

Against all the odds, students strive to maintain a good grade point average By: Audra Gaines That homework took me 2 hours t; that test was so hard I cant believe semester exams count IA of our final grade . . . These are just a few examples of the thoughts that run through studentsl minds as they strive to obtain high academic standards. Maintaining a high grade point average is no easy task and definitely requires many hours of dedication and hard work. However, the much deserved recognition that follows makes it all seem worth while because, academ- ically-minded students who push to achieve these goals positively have an advantage in the selection of colleges, careers, applications for scholarships and financial aid. Students who acquire a 3.5 gpa are also qualified for the exclusive, Nation- al Honor Society. uI think it,s a great honor to be a member of Na Ho So and I also think this helps me in preparation for college, stated senior Milda Smallwood. Even though it may not always seem worthwhile to take time out and study, after itls all over with the final results can be absolutely beneficial. Fr.

OPEN CAMPUS M-Aww Getting away and eating out are big bonuses of an open campus Open Campus! One of the main factors that distinguishes S.C. from many other local area schools, and 2 of the most favorite words amongst students about good iole 8.0. Students enjoy and take advan- tage of this privilege to its fullest extent. Whether it,s Pizza King, Druther,s, KFC or the school cafeter- ia, it still gives students a variety. To be dismissed on the lst bell, helshe may even have time to venture to lirestaurant rowii in Clarksville. When asked their opinion of open campus, jr., Becky Jackson stated, I like it because I can go where I want for lunch. If I had to stay here, all I would do is walk the halls with my friends. Sr., Todd Richardson voiced his opinion by replying, I think it,s great because you get more of a variety. Plus, I think if they ever closed it, there would be more problems between upper and lower class students? To freshmen, there is one reason why Greenies', favor the high school over the junior high. itIt makes it alot better than the jr. high because you can leave if you want. It's not like a prison? stated Charlotte Lothery. ,.- fnaNVme... .. ..--th ital! 17,1917 w A 333333411 A3 r H..f M I hope the bottom of this bag doesnlt fall out, thinks senior Steve Campbell while working at Sellersburgis IGA. Trying to move the customers at Fraley,s through the line as quickly as possible is junior Michelle Conroy who mans the cash register. If you believe going to school for seven hours sounds like a full day, just think of the many students who venture to their part-time jobs after school. Working a part-time job can mean many things. It can be a helpful experience for later positions in life or give you a chance to do something productive with your spare time. The bucks earned from these jobs is the money source that keeps many students going. Part-time jobs can also mean having to give up school related activities such as; sports, clubs, or even academic achievements. However, some students manage to find the energy to take an active part in school functions and hold down a job, all at the same time. There are many different areas of part-time jobs that students search for. The ever-popular fast food burger joints provide employment for many S.C. teens. McDonalds, Wendysi, Arbys, and K.F.C. are but a few. Other teens take on the hectic job of working in grocery stores. Srs. Steve Campbell and Keith Poole work at the local IGA. Greg Bickel, Sr., was hired by the Convenient in Hamburg 2V2 years ago to help keep the place running smoothly. Not all students are old enough to acquire jobs at local businesses. They too, have the need for money so twhat do they do?, Odd jobs of course. The young female population spends many spare hours babysitting, while the males tend to delivering newspapers or mowing lawns for cash. he 0 A JIW-t f ; eeSorry mamm, we donet have any eFreddie the Teddy Bearse, but we do carry a large selection of dolls, states junior Sheila Morris.

Itis your faithful, book-holding, coat-keeping, person- alized locker. You may think your locker ian a very important part of your life, but for some students it definitely adds an interesting touch to their day. Some believe in hanging posters of their favorite male or female idols, while others would rather tack up a mirror and look at themselves. You can often see a person,s personality through their locker. Some are very well kept, while others are in shambles. Sandy Barnes, soph., finds it entertaining to stick various Michael Jackson posters on the interior of her locker. For most, the common use of our locker is to be istorage', for anything and everything. Kelly Brasill, sr., remarked, uSome of the lockers are so small if there are two people sharing one, they become so crowded you can barely close the door? This can often be seen while students are doing their numerous fund-raising events. Candles, cookies, candy, along with other necessities can be found stuffed into this small verticle cubicle. So, the next time you give that locker door a good slam or a gentle hit with the fist, think about all the uses you have found for it. Getting the thrill of their life each time they open their locker and see Michael Jackson are fr. Monica Laslie and Rachael Riley. Sticker-mania strikes jr. Paul Fitzpatrick as he plasters his locker. Stopping at their locker for a quick change of books are at. Aaron Ellis and sophs. Scott Lindley, Toni Ledbetter, and Rusty Carver. Lockers can also be used as a meeting place as sr. Laura Meyer and soph. Todd Whitfield whisper sweet nothings' to each other. ii 144$ 83 The Publications department got into the swing of things by sponsoring two dances in order to raise extra cash for the 85 edition of Silver Leavesh On February lst, after the Salem basketball game, a sock-hop type affair was conducted in the school cafeteria giving students an opportunity to jam to numerous hard rock tunes provided by a local band, ttMeen Streekh.

The publications Staff also spon- sored a Mr. 8; Miss S.C.H.S. contest with the winners being crowned at this event. The contest was formerly an annual affair, but hadn,t occurred since 1981 graduate Mara Marr and 1980 8 ! I 9 4 graduate Timmy Robinson were elect- ed.

The class of 85 was preparing to start out on a life of their own. The last exams had been taken, the last lockers were closed, and the final preparations had been made for the grand finale a graduation. Numerous fun filled activities took place in preparing for this once- in-a-lifetime event. For instance, on Thursday, May 16, the annual Honors Day Program was conducted in the cafeteria followed by the senior break- fast on May 21 in the Speed Park. Ranking $11 in the class was valedictorian Greg Balmer, maintaining a grade point average of 4.0 and achieving salutatorian honors was Greg Gibson with an average of 3.9. To most students graduation is a dream come true. However, once this dream becomes a reality, some seniors begin having second thoughts. lTm excited about graduation. However, I know once school begins next year, Illl wish I was back,,, stated sr. Wendy tTm definitely relieved that it is all over? Eric Andres, senior. Booker.

The junior class had been making decisions and preparations the entire year and now it was time to reep the benefits of their toil. With Governors Hall in the Mar- riott Convention Center decked out in streamers of pink; burgandy, and gray, the students were ready to relax and 01 felt it was an honor to be elected queen and it made the prom even more memorable to me. Michelle Conroy have a great time. The dance floor was arrayed with glittering trees, large pink balloons, and a fountain at the center surrounded by flowers. The official prom picture scheduled to be taken with a decorated was r Enchanted Dream carriage as the background, but the buggy never arrived. A bridge convered with flowers was a hastily established substitution. The theme for the night was iiOur Enchanted Dream and the band throwing out top 40 hits was iiRapid Fireii. The highlight of the prom was the coronation of the king and queen at 10:00 p.m. Senior Steve Campbell and junior Michelle Conroy stole the honors by being elected by prom-goers. The official song tiYou,re the Inspiration,i was played as the couple danced alone for one minute. Then the rest of the crowd joined in. This year marked the beginning of some new traditions to be carried on by SC. students. After the second annual garter ceremony, confetti was thrown and to add a touch of the ioldies but goodiesi, the bunny hop was performed for everyoneis enjoyment. .m The fish pond served as a way formmgo gamble their umoney away. 5,, Welcome to the 203, announced Mr. Smith as he greeted soph.

By: Audra Gaines The Roaring 20s was the theme for the 85 prom breakfast which was held in the old gym and lasted from midnight until 3:00 a.m. The affair immediately followed the prom con- ducted at the Marriottls Convention Center. Prom-goers entered through a speak easy door after discovering the special password, ltToe sent me! When admitted, the lflappers' and lgangstersl found an array of food, dancing and casino games right from the 20s Upon entering, eveyone was given a certan amount of play money which they used to play the casino games with the end results of winning massive amounts of tdoughl. Once all the bucks were accumulated, prom-goers had the opportunity to participate in a play- money auction. Items such as a Sanyo head phone set, real money, or dinner for two at numerous local restaurants were just a few examples of the variety of items donated by area businesses. Other activities such as a 3-legged sack race and a Roaring 20is costume contest were also conducted. 1983 graduate, Al Eckert took top honors for the best gangster costume while 83 graduate, Todd Beyl and jr., Brad Amos took 2nd and 3rd respectively. For the flappers, junior, Kelly Bailey was awarded lst place, sr., Wendy Booker, 2nd place and jrs., Sheila Morris and Jeanie Straight tied for 3rd. When not involved in one of these festivities, prom-goers could sit back under patio tables and relax, listen to the music and tpig-out? There was something for everyone ranging for ham sandwiches and nauchos to jumbo banana splits. ttAs good as the food was at the breakfast you really donlt need to go out and eat before the promfl stated sr., Susan Clemons. The breakfast was conducted through the generosity of dedicated parents of the junior class, headed by Barbara Robertson. uI thought the parents did a real nice job; it looked like it took a lot of work? remarked sr., Libby Coale.

As expected, entering the unknown is a little frightening to most freshmen. After the year gets underway the fr. discover that if they abide by the given rules, they will receive more privileges; such as, open campus, new sports, and being exposed to new courses. Beware because sophomores take the initiative to get more of life; reaching 16, obtaining a license, holding a steady job, dating, and having later curfews.

One person in particular loves animals, not stuffed, however, liVe! t Sophomore David Drew is that person. His animals range from mice to his favorite pet, Buzz. Buzz is a 5 foot king snake. David came across his new pet one day while meandering amidst a field. Almost immediately fell in love with this tthuggableh big guy and decided to take him home. Pm not really bothered by being bit? says David, tTve been hit so many times that Pm used to it? And he really isn,t bothered. While trying to catch Buzz, the snake became scared and bit David. But did that stop David? Certainly not! Snakes arentt the only interesting animal David owns. He also keeps a racoon named ttNibbyf? and a few mice to feed to Buzz. Davidts knowledge of nature is amazing due to the fact that almost any type of animal is recognizable to him. Perhaps the'most unusual thing about David is, no matter how many people call him ttNature Boytt he'll never give up his hobby. That certainly should be admired by anyone who has given up certain features of their personality because their habit was not ttin style? Due to the fascination with nature and animals, David plans to attend college at Indiana University and earn a degree in biology. , Togethemess is soph., David Drew's motto when it comes to him and his pet King snake, Buzz. legal Karon! ; UCurse you Red Baron? exclaims Snoopy, alias Artie Dickerson, 301311., during his T performance in WYouTre A i ' Good Man, Charlie Brown?

V No matter what your interest, there will undoubtedly be an organization to fill your individual tastes. From Key Club to Science Club, to Sunshine Society, the list of organizations is endless. There are language clubs to explore the cultures of foreign lands, clubs which spread good cheer and good-will, and others which have one intention, having a good time. Extracurricular activities are just as important to a studentts life as classes, homework, or grades. Having fun, and being with fellow classmates in an informal setting are probably the biggest reasons students join organizations. .They are a method in which individuals can express themselves while having a good time.

In case you're wondering, the Key Club is a community service organization sponsored by the Kiwanis. The service club was in existence for nine years until last year when it was overcome by a lack of interest. The membership accomplished many projects: selling pickles at the Hoosier Heritage Days on the Ivy Tech campus, making Christmas baskets for the needy in conjunction with NaHoSo and Sun- shine Society, and selling Halloween insurance to the community. On December 17, they sang Christmas carols, along with Sunshine Society, around the Sellersburg area. Key club officers for the year included Andy Flickner, President; John Colburn, Vice-president; Tim Peters, Secretary; and Jeanie Straight, Treasurer.

Mrs. Ruth Jackson, home ec. teacher, is the sponsor of the organization. She has been involved with the club for 5 years, and took over full responsibility when Mrs. Nina Diefenbach, former advisor, retired in 1983. One of the clubis main activities this year was the Tuesday, February 26 iiDaddy Date Night? Each member brought her dad to the school and praised him for all the good things he has accomplished. They also presented their fathers a certificate of honor. Following the date, there was a pitch-in dinner. On December 18, the girls invited their families to supper in the home ec. room. According to Mrs. Jackson, the purpose of the club is, tiTo promote home economics and good relations of home economics within the school and community?

With the various sales projects French Club participated in, the students raised funds for next years trip with the destination of either New Orleans or Quebec. Mrs. LeNola Hunter, nine year veteran sponsor, stated that the destination will be selected according to the amount of money earned because Quebec is more expensive than New Orleans. ttTo study the French history of the United States and to learn about the Americans who still speak French as their first language? is the reason Mrs. Hunter gave when asked why the club might venture to Louisiana next year. Canada was selected due to its abundance of French culture. The sponsor commented, ttQuebec City is the closet thing to Europe you can get on this continent? Besides the trip, the money made from the fundraisers is used to buy items for the French classes such as French games and filmstrips.

Theatre remained in full swing with the production of three plays. Ms. Diane Ems, drama teacher and theater director, has been in charge since the first season. She stated that the troupers put on three shows a year, an occasional chidrenis play, run rehearsals Monday through Friday, and make all their own props. Construction, the building of the set, consumes just as much time as the other aspects of a play. Spending six to seven hours each Saturday, the students utilize anything worth saving, from cardboard to an old worn-out couch. Ms. Ems replied, iiWeire careful to save things. We make it all! On Thursday, April 11, the drama class, along with the senior English classes and associates of the theatre, ventured to I.U.S. for Medea, a Greek tragedy. Motivation is the key to success. Ms. Ems commented, itWe attempt perfec- tion. Carole Jefferson added, Ms. Ems gives great advice.

Sunshine girls spread cheer to comm unity The Sunshine Society began the year with their annual initiation. On Monday, October 8, 20 new members were formally inducted in a candlelight ceremony in the school cafeteria. The reason for the formal initiation is, according to Mrs. Evelyn Heiligen- berg, 13 year sponsor, iiTo make the girls feel like they are a part of the club? The primary purpose of the community service organization is to show good will toward people and d0 activities which are needed. The girls participated in many events during the year, visiting Maple Manor Nursing Home twice, joining in con- junction with NaHoSo in the Giving Tree, a collection of food and gifts for needy families at Christmas, and caroling with the Key Club. On December 11 from 9:00 a.m., the Sunshine Society held their annual breakfast with Santa in the cafeteria.

They also lost to North Harrison Cougars 36-19. Last year the cross country team was quite young. Junior Craig Boggess stated, uEveryone improved their times with each time we ran. The team should be strong next year because most of the top runners will return. I think we should get at least third or fourth in the conference and eighth in the sectional. ilEvery class has been represented in the top seven runners for the 1984 season and I expect welll improve next year even more than we have this year? summed up junior Phillip Eckert.

Although Coale was the number one runner in the post season tourney, she and Powell shared the position in regular season. With the loss of only one senior, the team hopes to make a second appearance at state. Hopes should run high because in 1983 Floyd Central placed 16th, but this year nailed down third.

The kind of action that is usually seen at the movie theater instead of the basketball war zone. Along with all of this drama comes the honor and suspense of who will be crowned the Tourney Queen. In the opening game of the oldest tournament with the same 4 participat- ing teams in the state, the Clarksville Generals defeated the Charlestown Pirates, 60-43. This General victory set up the thrilling championship game which would follow the next night against S.C., who defeated the Providence Pioneers 65-53. The next evening all four schools were fighting to win a crown that had nothing to do with the battles of basketball; but just as important, the right to have the crown of the Holiday Tourney Queen at their school. After all of the candidates were announced, Dragon senior, Audra Gaines acquired the beloved crown from last years Queen Brenda Nierengarten of Clarks- ville. Audra was the first royalty from SC. in 15 years i1970l. When it was time for action, both Clarksville and Silver Creek came out psyched and ready for war.

The Dragons swiftly brought the ball up the floor and worked the ball around. With time running out, sr. guard Tim Edwards went up for the 15 foot jumper that popped out sending the game into overtime. After trading a couple of baskets, the Generals had the ball and a chance for the tourney crown. The Generals set up a play for sr. Bill Smith, but were unable to get him the ball. This forced sr. guard Gerald Bottoms to put up a desperation 25 footer that drew nothing but net to give the Generals a 54-52 victory. Srs. Kent Offutt and Todd Sharp were named to the All-Tournament team. 13? 137 Blasting out of the blocks in the final game of the New Albany Sectional, the Dragons leaped out to a 7-0 lead before the home-standing Bulldogs finally scored at the 2:23 mark of the first quarter. After trailing for over 3 Vz quarters, the Bulldogs staged a tremendous comeback behind senior, Bruce Roland, the very vocal support of the New Albany fans, and what many S.C. fans felt to be the blatant inaccuracies of the referees. However, the Dragons did accomplish something in the fact that they led by 10 points and almost conquered a team heralded at one time as the best in Southern Indiana. Even though they lost, the team received a standing ovation from loyal S.C. fans even after the final score was posted, 59-51.

This year, a big change came about. The I.H.- S.A.A. sanctioned a sectional for girls softball. The ladies proved they were No. 1 by. defeating West Washington, Henryville, and Charlestown to capture the sectional crown. The season opener was a disap- pointment for team members with a 6-2 loss against Floyd Central. After losing the next 3 out of 4 games, the females fought back, determined to have a winning season. They won their last six games opposing such schools as New Washington, Charleston, Scottsburg, Clarksville, and Providence.

W 147 With the loss of only two seniors from last yearls powerful team, the SC. girlsl track squad once again looked to be a dominant force in Southern Indiana track and field for the 1985 campaign. The goals set by the girls and their coaches were to repeat as Pirate Relay champs and Mid-Soutern Conference victors and to go undefeated in dual and triangular meets. In the Relays at Charlestown, the ladies posted a second place showing behind a tough Scotts- burg team. Being defenders of the MSC crown, Silver Creek finished second to the host school, North Harrison. Finally, the female tracksters posted a 12-1 record in dual and triangular contests. The lone loss, which came at the hands of Austin, was by a single point. Even though they didn,t achieve the goals they had set for themselves, Coach Robert Shaw feels that the girls still have a lot to be proud of. HYou it: 148 girls were still dominant canlt base your success by the goals you set. We had a highly successful season. Everywhere we go, coaches and teams respect us very much.

Injuries to two of the three senior girls may have proved one factor for the unachieved goals. Four-year hurdler Wendy Booker was sidelined early in the season due to a long jump accident, while Libby Coale, a four-year distance runner, was stricken with a pulled thigh muscle which greatly hampered her performance while running.

Track girls show depth during the season as team is hit With injuries With track and field being a more individualized and personal sport than any other, injuries produce more of a personal letdown than a letdown t0 the team. Times and distances are constantly worked on during the season to improve them for the individual. When an injury occurs that sits an athlete out for the rest of the year or when the injury greatly hampers the performance of the athlete, then the runner is left to ask questions such as iiDid I do all of this work for nothingiw and ttWhat would have hap- pened if I hadnit hurt myself? The personal anguish outweighs the teams by a great deal. This ordeal was faced by the girls track team this season. With high hopes of being practically undefeated, the squad was hit by a rash of injuries for the 1985 campaign. At one time, no less than four of the girls were complaining of a pain. The greatest losses to the team were a pair of seniors who provided many points as well as a great deal of leadership. On April 22, SC. ventured to Providence for a meet.

The team has built up over the past years: from a count of only 9 members in 1984 to a grand total of 24 last 2 K. Eisert, .L DT season. With the added presence of the ttgreenieslf, strength in numbers became their motto. They are young, but they added strength to the team. They learn quickly? stated Jeff Motsinger, senior. Several seniors will be missed at the end of the season. The senior members who will not return are: Jeff Motsinger, Greg Bickel, Bob Smith, and Brian Ashabranner. Opening the season, the Dragons came out smoking to win their first three meets against Clarksville, Henry- ville, and a triangular meet against Austin and Crothersville. Falling to Charlestown and Providence only slowed the barriers down enough to come back and win the West Clark Invitational over Borden and Henry- ville. 91 was very proud of the boys. They performed excellently? commented Coach Downey. Facing only two more losses at the end of the season to Salem and Scottsburg the cindermen posted a winning season and a return to respectability. , , 58v: Austin 1 ' wlB t a P i l g l ' a . : . ray, J. . x cCartney'f ., Dehn, . v cAfee, hr zpatrick .Anios,f Bickel.

Four years of cheerleading have come to an end. There were a lot of good times filled with laughter, but there were gallons of tears to counter the giggles. I cheered with three of my best friends our freshman year. We had been together as a squad since junior high and grade school. My sophomore year handed me a surprise. After suffering through the try-outs in front of the student body and waiting until the end of the day when all the votes were tallied, I was given a position on the varsity squad. One other girl I had cheered with as a freshman also made varsity. My other two friends made the j.v. squad. However, back at S.C. we helped cheer our Dragons on to a great season. That year we turned the 20 year old Holiday Tourney jinx into a myth by winning the contest for the second year in a row. We lost the sectional by two points to Madison finishing our season at 16-6. a, 154 It was really sad to see the seniors at the end of the game. I never dreamed Ild be in the same position some day. I made the varsity squad again my junior year. It was just as big a thrill as when I made it the year before. I found it a great honor to be chosen to cheer for our Might Dragons. We all did! Silver Creek had a new coach, Mr. Terry Ross. After losing our old coach f ttI think the success we had this year was due to the fact that we all got along and knew each others capabilitiesf - Rita Willinger - Sr. W and seven seniors from last years team, most people didnlt give us a prayer for a winning season. But we proved them wrong by finishing the season with a 13-10 mark. Once again a sectional victory eluded us as we fell to Madison in the championship game of the tournament. Then came my senior year. It was my last chance at being a high school lL-Rl Row ' 1: S. Morris; A. Gaines, W. Booker, C. Guernsey, TOP: J. Wilkerson, R. , Filigger, C. Rauck. cheerleader. I made it. My fellow cheerleaders elected me as their captain. Ilve never felt so honored. At camp last year we went to De Pauw. We won a spirit megaphone at the conclusion of the week. We brought home a superior ribbon from each night of competition and competed in the top eight squads for top honors. It was the best any S.C. squad had done at camp. Back in Sellersburg, a new coach awaited us, Mr. J ohn Bradley had taken over the head coaching position. We made it to the final game of the contest but ended up losing to the Bulldogs in the last few minutes of the game. It was a rough season, but the players and the cheerleaders worked hard. We topped off my last year as a cheerleader with an 8-15 record. My uniforms are turned in, my pom-pons are gathering dust. All the articles reminding me of my days as a cheerleader are gone . . except the memories. by Wendy Booker ..W WW. I' ,4. -re: Top h h holtz, T.

The Dragons competed in eight games against state ranked competi- tion. Early in the season the varsity squad competed against the Jennings County Panthers, who were then ranked 1113 in the state, in a double header. The Dragons lost the first game 9-1. In the second game the squad played the Panthers to the final out, but lost 4-3 on a last inning base hit. The S.C. hurdlers finished with a 5-4 Mid-Southern Conference record with wins over Charlestown, Browns- town, Scottsburg, Corydon, and North Harrison. The squad finished third in the race for the Mid-Southern Confer- ence title behind Austin and M.S.C. champion, Clarksville. til think our record wasn,t as good Baseball swings into Jeff sectional with few seniors, as it should have been. We lost a lot of close games and some to ranked teams? stated first baseman Johnny Shields. The young team showed a lot of unexpected power according to coach Ken Trinkle. Senior Kevin Ramsey 111 think we could have had a better season than we did. We played a lot of inconsistant games that we lost and probably should have won. Mike Schutte, soph. f belted three roundtrippers, Kent Of- futt, Tim Edwards, and Phil Smith crushed two homeruns, and Johnny Shields and Mike Schutte each con- tributed one homer.

S.C. alumni Jeff Harrell took over the varsity position vacated by Coach Terry Ross when he left for Moresville. The squad started out their season with a loss to Floyd Central, New Albany, and Paoli in a triangular meet at the Valley View golf course. Even though the linksmen lost their next three matches, they did improve their individual and all-around team scores. Their hard work and dedication proved to be the key to success when they defeated New Washington and Henryville in later matches. They also placed second in a quadrangular meet at Scottsburg. In the Mid-Southern conference, the team placed eighth out of ten teams. At the Corydon Invitational, the team placed a respectable eighth. The top three positions on the team rotated throughout the season. Jr. Daniel Frazier began the year at the No. 1 position, but as the year progressed, frosh Steve Brown, soph. Troy Beyl, and jr. Brad Amos ended the season with the top honors. Steve Brown commented, tiI really worked hard this season to get to the No. 1 position. I feel that as a team, we should be able to show big improvement next year? Jr. Brad Amos managed to hold the No. 3 position even though he also ran track. This is termed tDouble DippingX ttIt was really hard to concentrate on just one sport, but I really enjoyed doing them both? Brad added. ttThis season was a struggle, but we have a lot of talented players coming up. We will be more competitive next year. Daniel Frazier, jr. With only three seniors graduating, Tim Wimsatt, John Colburn, and Aaron Ellis, the future looks bright. Coach Harrell summed it up by commenting, nThis year we were very young and definitely inexperienced. Next season we should positively have a stronger, more experienced team. Above: Chipping the ball to the 13th hole, freshman Steve Brown attempts to par 3 at the Jeff Elks Club. On April 30, 1985, Silver Creek High School held its annual athletic banquet honoring all the athletes who participated in the sports programs at SC. The festivities began with the girls cross country awards. They began the night by presenting Mr. John Bradley as ttCoach of the Yearii selected by the fifth district coaches association. There was a tie for MVR and it was presented to Libby Coale, sr., and Kelly Powell, ; itI was really surprised to get the award. It was one of the proudest moments in my high school career? Wendy Booker, sr. soph. Boysi cross country was then presented by coach John Bradley. MVR was granted to Eddie Dailey, jr. Coach Mike Crabtree introduced the boys, tennis team and awarded the MVP to Chris Trinkle, soph. Next in line were the winter sports. Varsity girls, basketball coach Lisa Cook presented the awards to the players. The MVP, Kelly Powell, soph, was bestowed for the second year in a Edwards, Booker, Bradley win top honors at annual athletic banquet row. The MVP was sponsored by Sunshine Society. Boys Basketball teams were in- troduced in order of freshmen to varsity with Kent Offutt receiving the MVP honors. The last presentations made were that of Best Female Athlete presented to Wendy Booker, sr., who had 8 varsity letters. uI was really surprised to get the award. It was one of the proudest moments in my high school career? stated Wendy. Best Male Athlete was awarded to Tim Edwards, sr., who had ten varsity letters. The spring sports MVPis were not presented due to the non-completion of their seasons and sectional contest. However, each athlete participating in a spring sport was recognized and presented with a certificate of team membership and school appreciation. The ceremony began at 6:30 p.m. and ended at approximately 8:00 p.m. when everyone was led from the auditorium to the cafeteria where a v, banquet of good foods, prepared by i. a . x home economics teacher Mrs. Ruth Ann 23;; xwmggwmsfh; BtisgesMgl: 3 Jackson, were served. varsity letters. Mr. Bailey, presented Mr. John Bradley with the fifth districtts Coach of the Year award while the girlst cross country team applauded. Those shown are Libby Coale, Christy Densford, and Gwen Huckelberry. Above: After the awards were presented a banquet was served. Going through the food line, Becky Kaufer, jr., serves herself. The Best Female Athlete shown in action of her senior year of volleyball, Wendy Booker, sr., collected throughout her high school sports career eight varsity letters. Even with many responsibilities, tasks, and pains, managers run the show Dedication. This is one word which can sum up the term ttmanagertt very well. Student managers at Silver Creek do more than just sit around and watch the team practice or wait until the coach needs them to do something. The managers, just like the players and coaches, have certain responsibilities and worries. Some of the responsibilities that each student manager has includes keeping and organizing statistics, the ----- ttOver the last four years, Iive met many interesting people and I hope it helps me in the future? Joe Dickerson, sr. w cleaning of uniforms, as well as being a ttgopher. For the coach of the team, the manager is an invaluable asset. A manager helps the coaching staff get little tasks done so that the coaches may devote the majority of their time to training the athletes in their particular sport. The life of a manager is definitely not a tbowl of cherries. The job is hectic for most because there is never enough time to get everything done and because minute tasks are sometimes overlooked in the course of hismer duties. During the span of a season, problems will always arise. Injuries, slumps, and irritations of every kind usually enter the picture along the way. In that case the manager must also serve as a friend and companion to get the athlete over the physical or psychological hump. However, the athlete sometimes gets in the way of the manager and his duties and therefore, some friction might develop. But, this is a situation where a cool head and rational thinking greatly aid the manager. Senior, Joe Dickerson, Silver Creekis most active student manager, commented on his four-year experience which has taken him through the sports of basketball, cross country, track and golf, by stating, tiIn my four years, Iive found that managers are much more appreciated than in years past by the athletic staff, students, players, and faculty due to the nature of our job. a Eighting the bitter cpldMg to keep stats for the track teams are soph. Sandy Barnes and fr. Kyle Eisert. Above: Serving as manager in cross country, basketball, track, and golf for the past four years is sr. Joe Dickerson. Below: Overseeing softball duties is 51'.

The chapters of the 85 history were filled with tears of both joy and sadness as they unfold- ed slowly before our eyes. Letls look back on both the national and local events which have altered our story just enough to make it distinctly different from the past 59 versions of the SC. chronicles. Probably the biggest highlight of the 85 school year was the Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. One hundred and forty nations were included in the games, with the US. reigning supreme. Some of the high points were both male and female swim teams, basketball teams, and gymnastic teams. Carl Lewis dominated in track and field and Mary Lou Retton, the little sprite who captured the hearts of America, vaulted to 10 after 10 after 10 in the gymnastics competition. But the biggest deal at the Olympic games was the controversy between runners Mary Decker and Zola Budd in the 1600 m. run. In national sports, Villanova upset Georgetown in the NCAA. It was San Fransisco over Miami and the great showdown between Joe Montana and Dan Marino in Superbowl XXI. Detroit beat San Diego in the World Series and Spend A Buck won the 111th Run for the Roses. Ed Sutton, ex-Arkansas coach, took over Joe B. HalPs position as head basketball coach at U of K. And who can forget all of the objects being thrown in Assembly Hall . . . first the chair, then Bobby Knight! A new tradition was started in Louisville with soccer and the Louisville Thunder. The 8.0. sportsworld also had a few changes. The boys' basketball team switched from the Madison to the New Albany Sectional and the softball team participated in a sectional for the first time and won the title. The boys, track team even turned in 190 a respectable record of 9-4. In the entertainment world, Wham! did the first ever concert tour in China. Foreignor, Bruce Springsteen, RED, and Prince thrilled us with their music in the United States. Beverly Hills Cop, starring the infamous Eddie Murphy, was definitely the students top choice in the movie world. Places in the Heart, The Breakfast Club and various Sci-Fi flicks, such as Dune and 92010 were also among students favorites and Amadeus ran away with 8 Oscars at the Academy Awards. Due to the high price of seeing a movie $4.50 a shotD many students chose to stay at home and watch programs on VCRts tvideo cassette recordersl. In the fashion scene, mini-skirts, neon, distressed denim and every size beads imaginable were in. Oversize shirts, cropped pants and blue jean jackets were also big trends. Ex-Miss America, Vanessa Williams, was stripped of her crown for posing for nude photos and the representative from Texas was named the 1985 Miss USA. Silver Creek had its own queen in Miss Audra Gaines. She was our Homecoming queen, Miss SCHS, and our first Holiday Tourney Queen since 1970. Princess Di had her second baby - Henry Charles Albert David -- but several deaths threw shadows on this happy occasion. Baby Fae died after being sustained 32 days on a baboon heart. Indira Gandhi, prime minister of India, was assasinated and Chernenko, Russian leader, also passed away to be succeeded by Gorbachov. But the two deaths that touched us the most were that of David Straight, a member of the 1985 senior class, and Lisa Scholl, a 1983 8.0. graduate. A rash of bombings in Beirut killed and wounded several American soldiers and civilians. Bomb threats were also big around this area. 8.0. and other local schools were forced to evacuate several times due to the pranksters. In national news, the heart trans- Far left: Professor Millard Dunn, IUS English teacher, directed a writing course for several seniors as a part of a pre-college program. Left: Kids from the Cabbage PatchTi were a big hit with students in 1985. Several students became honorary parents of the toys. Members of the North Central evaluation team discuss the well-behaved students and A1 teachers possessed by Silver Creek. WWK ; plants were the big news along with the Ethiopian famine. Much relief was supplied by American artists in the form of a record, USA for Africa. All profits went to a fund for the starving Eth- iopians. Ronald Reagan defeated Mondale by a landslide in the presidential election and Trivial Pursuit, Transformers, and Cabbage Patch Doll crazes swept the nation. The North Central evaluation team came to judge S.C. as an accredited institution and a flock of young coaches descended upon us. Some of these new mentors were Tom Lowe, Steve Freder- ick, Paul Hutchinson, Jeff Harrell, and Tom Roerk. A new bank opened in downtown Sellersburg and Prof. Millard Dunn taught a college English class to a few talented seniors. The big news in TV. was iiThe Cosby Show? itThe Burning Bed? and detective shows such as iiMiami Vice? itHunter, ands tiRiptidefi W wag: u e i M t r L 3 t x L s g v 3: x x Katheryn Sullivan was the first woman to walk in space and the space shuttle Discovery rescued two stray satelites. 1985 marked the 10th year anniver- sary of the Viet Nam war and Coke changed its secret formula for the first time in 99 years. Finally, McDonald,s, everybodyis favorite place to eat, sold their 50 billionth burger in late October. The 1985 story has come to a close. Itts time to put our book on the shelf with the other histories; to be taken down only to find the face of a familiar name in a few years and relive the memories of a simpler time. Itis been a year of joy and $ year of sorrow. But one things for sure, itts definitely been 8Not Just Another Dragon Tale? Oh yeah! and they lived happily ever after!! The End
