(Not Pictured: 12A - Darryl Catts, 12E - Shelly Wolfe) I had been a member of the Smiths- burg High School faculty for no more than a month when I was asked by Lori Spector to join her in being a co- advisor for the class of '86.1 accepted with some hesitation, but am now glad I did for I feel it has been a re- warding experience. Immediately, we began the cheese and sausage sale. Although we didn't make as much of a profit as we would have liked, it was enough to put on the prom Romance in the Orient at the Ramada Inn. The prom committee introduced a video production; it was a first. Imagine — videos at a prom rather than a band! Students danced to the latest hits presented by Bristol Sounds. Although, unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties, everyone still appeared to have a fun time. I am told that there were more people dancing than ever before at a Senior Class Advisor: Sue Copple prom. In fact, the only ones who didn't appear to be having a good time were the gold fish whose lives ended under the cake. The junior year ended with our class entertaining the seniors at their tea after baccalaureate service. The tea was a success thanks to the great effort of the parents of several class members. Senior year has finally arrived and the class officers have been busy planning graduation. Throughout the past year, and a half, I've come to know many members of the class and will miss seeing them next year. I wish everyone in the class the best of luck in whatever they do. Always have confidence in yourselves and strive to be the best you can be.

SGA officers include Beth Starliper, president; Chris Ferro, vice president; Kelly Shryock, treasurer; and Steph Strauss, secretary. Dan, Sue and Diane Barber concentrate on the serious business under consideration at one of the SGA meetings. 58 STUDENT GOVERNMENT SPONSORS DANCES FOR HANDICAPPED, HOMECOMING Wendy Shives studies a copy of the minutes at one of the many SGA meetings.

Perhaps this pose was responsible for winning Chris Ferro, a junior, the vice-presidency of the Student Gov- ernment Association. STUDENT GOVERNMENT 59 Pre-parade final touches are added as past homecoming queens and local delegates discuss the day's events that lie ahead of them. Homecoming festivities of 1985 were one of the most fun- filled weekends Smithsburg High has seen for many years. Not only did the SGA sponsor the annual dance, parade and bon- fire, but they added a beef and chicken barbeque to the events that have been a part of this traditional weekend. Beginning with the bonfire on October 11, these activities were well-attended. The theme Circus of the Leopards was carried out in bonfire skits filled with clowns and narrated by a ringmaster. Brian Moore, winner of the disguised mystery date contest, received a kiss for luck from the voluptuous mystery beauty. Also, the seniors won the traditional tug-of-war. The bonfire ended with the singing of the Alma Mater. Mr. Chicken makes friends with local dignitary Senator John Derr. 'CIRCUS OF SCA President Beth Starliper helps junior volunteer Ernie jones inflate the purple and gold balloons that were sold at the football game. Freshmen ready their float props as the parade takes shape in the school parking lot. Such nerds at Smithsburg? No, just some gaudy Seniors who went wild during Homecoming Spirit Week. They include )en Johnson, Dave Dull, Sue Button, Cary Easterday, Dan McDougal, Kelly Baker, Arvid Reina, and Sue Shryock. 60 HOMECOMING BBQ committee members and parent volunteers sell goodies to hungry parade-goers. To add spice to the traditional events, the SGA added a beef and chicken barbeque for homecoming '85-'86. About two hundred pounds of meat was ordered and every last ounce was sold by day's end. Set up during the parade at the Smithsburg Fire Hall, the barbeque stand was relocated to the area of the football field where it attracted many half-time snackers from the homecoming game. THE LEOPARDS' Marching bands, celebrities, and dancing poultry on the streets of Smithsburg? Yes, these and more marched along the parade route for this year's festivities to the roar and approval of a crowd that was the largest ever in the history of SHS Homecoming Parades. Approximately sixty units including political delegates and walking crabs made their way through the streets of Smithsburg early on October 12. Among the guests of honor were past homecoming queens from 1968 to 1984. Circus spirit seemed to hit everyone including these sophomore ' clowns who For the third straight year, the class of 1987 gathered a are busy preparing themselves for a fun-filled ride down the parade route, first place for their class float which expressed their view of the theme Circus of the Leopards by displaying a large pink elephant. This year's parade route took a new turn. It began at the high school, went through Smithsburg Square and across to Cavetown. From there, the parade went out onto Route 64 before returning to the traditional ending spot, the football field. Parade floats remained on display near the field for game spectators to enjoy throughout the day. Committee chairman Laura Lowe spent most of the day up to her neck in both smoke and barbeque sauce. A helpful dad puts the last balloon on the freshman carousel. HOMECOMING 61 FBLA members Kristen Leisinger and Steve Harbaugh make sure everything is battened down for the ride ahead. This huge pink pachyderm awaiting the beginning of the parade with trunk in the air, will soon win first place for the junior class. This marked the third year that the class of '87 won the float competition. HOMECOMING DAY MOVES SMOOTHLY Middletown controls the ball during one of the plays that caused the Smithsburg Homecoming defeat 26-0. Elephants, floating balloons and queen hope- fuls awaited the start of the homecoming game, as the Leopards lined up against the Middletown Knights for their annual bout for supremacy in the MVAL. As the game progressed the halftime horn be- gan the long-awaited ceremonies. Halftime cere- monies included songs performed by the Leop- ard band and the crowning of the 1985 Home- coming queen. Senior princesses were introduced and Queen Karen Hudson was an- nounced as Smithsburg High's Queen for 1985. The Leopards ended the day in defeat with a loss of 26-0 to the Knights, but this would hope- fully not put a damper on attendance at the ap- proaching dance that night. The barbeque stand gets a comic relief when Mr. Junior Chicken comes to help. It appears Principal Gerald Hammond is serenading Queen Karen, but in actuality he is just making a dramatic introduction to the crowd. The crowd awaits the name of the 1985 Queen. Queen Karen is surrounded by her princesses and escorts as clubs and organi- zations ready to present their gifts. Old and young alike dance the night away. Sue Young and joe Mong junior princess for 1985, Melissa Obitts, Sophomore princess Kelli Winters, and Freshman princess Michelle Eichelberger are pictured with crown bearer David Blicken- staff. HOMECOMING QUEEN 1985 KAREN HUDSON Animals, carnival props and balloons made the theme Circus of the Leopards a lasting memory for those who attended the Homecoming Dance in the school cafeteria on October 12. Halfway through the evening Queen Karen Hudson, princesses and their escorts were introduced and various school groups and clubs presented Queen Karen with appropriate gifts. Music was provided by Sokol-Shrader band, a two man ensemble playing an array of instruments, includ- ing a synthesizer that produced an orchestral effect. As usual the dance brought an end to the Homecom- ing weekend. Much hard work and planning helped make a bigger and better Homecoming that will be long-remembered in the minds of the SHS students.

HOMECOMING 63 THE LIBRARY SERVES AS 'HOME' Officers of the A-V Club include: President Wes Redman, Vice- President Dennis Butt (not pictured). Secretary Lori Berger, and Treasurer, Seth Wilson. The A-V Club includes: (advisor) Mr. Sam Cordon, Wes Redman, Diana Stansberry, Lori Berger, Wanda Brenot, Seth Wilson, and lason Butt. Co-advisor Mrs. Miller SHS's A-V Club is one of the few school clubs that is more than a social organization. Their duties include taking re- quests from teachers for audio-visual equipment. They also deliver the needed equipment to the teachers. In addition to delivering equipment, members of the club pick up machines that are not in running order, and if the repair is minor they even fix the machines themselves. Cen- tral Office of the Board of Education repairs some of the more complicated repairs. The A-V Club did sponsor some social events also. To fund these events the members held two sales — candy and doughnuts — which were fairly successful. Club mem- bers then took some time off to go bowling at Turner's Dual Lanes and to hold a Christmas party at the Mountain Cate Restaurant in Thurmont.

Nathan Wilson seems to be confident and serious as he executes his move. Mr. Cehr advises the Chess team on their strategy for an up-coming match. As a matter of strategy, when Mr. Cehr talks, the chess team listens. The Maryland State Champion Chess team from Smithsburg High School con- sists of: Greg Barnes who finished his season 8 wins — 2 losses — 0 ties; Cary Easterday 5-4-0, Mike Kline 10-0-0, Bill Neary 2-1-0, )ason Stamper 9-1-0, and Seth Wilson 8-2-0. Advisor Mr. Rodney Gehr coached the Chess team to the State Championships, for which the team received a trophy. In the spring awards assembly the Chess Club members received their high school letters for their participation in the Chess Club. Mr. Gehr looks on, with the rest of the chess team, as a match heats up. 65 The line of saxophones in the Marching Leopard Band helped to lead the group to victory at the Festival of Bands in Toronto, Canada. 66 BAND Excited about the competition, members of the band are lined up and ready to go long before they need to be. They await their turn to com- pete. KEEP MARCHING LEOPARDS BUSY Prior (o the marching parade competition, senior David Dull briefly poses with his trombone for a snapshot. In mid-August the band started their school year by spending Monday through Thursday nights working on music and this year's halftime show. Among their activities was the Showcase of Marching Bands in which they per- formed to a packed school stadium. Next came the annual Mummer's Parade in Oc- tober. The rest of the year was spent in practicing music and performing in various concerts. After the Winter Concert, the band rea- died itself for the Spring Concert at which the John Phillip Sousa award is presented to the senior who displays superior musician- ship, leadership, dependability, loyalty, and cooperation. This year David Dull received the award. The next major performance was held the night before the band left for five days in Canada. After playing two of the three concert band pieces they had been re- hearsing for months, the band's dream came true. They returned home from their trip with several awards and many fond memories. The final presentation was the annual Pops Concert which is organized and con- ducted by the senior members of the band. Members of the band rehearse their music to warm up before the parade competition really begins. BAND 67 DENNIS SHANK SELECTED Having established a very good reputation throughout the Tri-State area, the SHS )azz Band was kept busier this year than in years past. Along with participating in several com- petitions, the ensemble also performed for local clubs and charities. Competitions included the Montgomery Community College Jazz Festival and the Arundle State Jazz Festival where the band placed second and scored the highest rating for sight reading. The group also performed for the District Lions Club Valentine's Day Dance and the United Way Banquet. They played for the Middle States Evaluation Welcome banquet at the Ramada Inn and were featured enter- tainment at a fundraiser for the Arthritis Foun- dation. Concert appearances included the Winter Concert at which Dennis Shank was awarded the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award for superior musicianship, character and individual creativ- ity. The Blue Ridge Jazz Festival rounded out the band's home performances. Under the direction of field director Dan McDougal, the Marching Leopards take to the field and perform their first halftime show at the opening home football game. Because of the extreme heat, band members decided to forego their hot uniforms for cooler clothes. Band director Harry Wacker leads a joyous group of celebrating musicians who are SrouP °f band members proudly display a trophy. proudly showing off the many trophies they had won during the various competitions in Toronto. 68 BAND AS LOUIS ARMSTRONG AWARD RECIPIENT While admiring the beauty of Niagara Falls from the Canadian side, band disciplinarian, junior Mike Nehring found it necessary to administer some discipline to freshman Chris Flounder Rogers. After garnering all their tro- phies, band members settled down to some serious sightseeing and good old- fashioned fun. Beth and julie took turns tickling the ivories for the Jazz Band. Following flag squad member Brenda Keller and the trumpet section, the Marching Leopards go through their paces while wowing the home crowd at a football halftime show. The band always manages to get a warm recep- tion from partial fans while entertain- ing those in the bleachers at home games.

She enjoyed the trip and taking pictures such as the one below of club advisor Mr. Ralph Bolyard, whom Brenda has apparently caught off-guard. The national convention was not all fun and games for Ray Stagner who seems to be busy with work. Officers include Dwight Leather, Curtis Clopper, Ray Stagner, William Widdows, Brenda Izer, and Mark Miller. DRAMA CLUB CLOWNS AROUND Once again the SHS drama club hit the streets of New York. From November 14-16, the troupers , clad in raincoats and holding um- brellas (it rained the entire time) ran through the streets in search of the perfect store, the perfect haircut and, of course, the perfect place to eat. This year the group didn't fly the friendly skies but left the driving to Greyhound. Their temporary home was the Century Paramount Hotel once again, only this year they could actually turn around in their rooms. Advisor Nancy Reedy-Bushey was a brave soul this year and chaperoned all 21 students single handedly. The travelers weren't as wealthy this year so they chose a steak house as opposed to last year's visit to Sardi's before the Broadway show. La Cage Aux Folles. The club followed the SHS tradi- tion at Christmas by putting on the Christmas show on the last day be- fore vacation. Such stars as Richard Simmons, Rosanne Rosannedana, Watermelon Chitlin, )ed Checketts and family, the gang from Hee Haw, and of course, Santa Claus were special guests. 72 DRAMA CLUB EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE . . . . . .

Sophomore Michelle Spaid shows off the pinata she won with a lucky ticket. Los Conquistadores , SHS's Spanish Club, got the year off to a great start with their third Annual Initiation Banquet, once again held at the Mountain Gate Restaurant in Thurmont. Part of the fes- tivities for the evening included raffling off three pinatas and initiating new mem- bers. Other club activities included a $100 contribution to the American Red Cross to aid the earthquake victims in Mexico. Another $75 was made out to Toys For Happiness sponsored by WQCM. The club challenged all other Spanish clubs in the county to contribute an equal amount, but no one accepted the chal- lenge. Prior to the Christmas holidays several students traveled to Smithsburg Elemen- tary School to show their Christmas spir- it, singing Christmas carols, dancing and reading the ever popular poem ”Twas The Night Before Christmas in Spanish. Shannon Schildt poses with her prize pinata. Spanish Club members wait for the elementary students during the holiday season. They taught the youngsters a number of Spanish carols for Christmas. SPANISH CLUB 77 TEAM FINISHES FIRST IN COUNTY This year's Olympics of the Mind team is comprised of two veteran members: Alan Decker, and Keith Taber, and three new members: Seth Wilson, Daniel Ringquist, and Diana Stansberry. The team had several different problems to choose from for competition. One for the performing artists was History the Way it Was, which was to be a perfor- mance of history with new twists added by the team. Another for computer buffs was Treasure Hunters, a problem in which the team was to write a computer program that would navigate, by audible noises, cer- tain people around a graph on the floor. A problem for the business-oriented folks was Technocrats which involved producing and distribut- ing a product in a limited amount of time. The problem chosen by this year's team was called Compound Fracture. In this exercise, the team had to construct a structure to hold as much weight as possi- ble. The catch is the structure must be made of balsa wood and weigh less than 25 grams. The team's struc- ture and their spontaneous problem solving won them a first at county competition this year. Olympics of the Mind team members include: Diana Stansberry, Seth Wilson, Keith Taber, Daniel Ringquist, and Alan Decker. Here they are displaying their balsa wood structure that they built for county competition. Allen and Diana, the terrorists, discuss their evil plans.

Not only did they hold two fundraisers, they also spon- sored an effective tutoring pro- gram for fellow students. In addition to fundraisers and tu- toring, they had the opportunity for the first time to have an ex- change day with Waynesboro High School's National Honor Soci- ety. Overall, the advisor, Mr. Phillip Hammond, feels that with the ad- dition of twelve new members, the society will be more active in the future to continue the success of this year's membership. Cary Easterday, Karen Powers, Suzie Bowman, Brian Timpe, and Kellan Rice make up the 1985-1986 National Honor Society. In the spring twelve new members were inducted, including eleven juniors and one senior. Mr. Phil Hammond served as advisor to the group.

This was a fairly quiet year for the members of R.O.M.A., Smithsburg's Latin Club, which is usually very active. First, the club usually spends the beginning of the year pre- paring for Latin Day at the Uni- versity of Maryland. This year, however, Latin Day was not held. The club also makes at least one trip to a theater or dinner theater with members of the Spanish Club. In addition to these outside activities, club members also get a chance to experience various aspects of Roman culture in the classroom. One such cultural experience this year was a mock Roman wedding feast. Club members also did some fundraising this year. Members are looking forward to returning to Latin Day next year and funds raised will help to pay for their transportation. Officers of the Latin Club include: (Row 1) Kim Crossnickle, Amaya Doty, Jennifer Flowers for the wedding are distributed to members of the Smith (Row 2) Deanna Carrington, Amy Bush, Barbara Bouchard, and Jennifer bridal party.

Environmental Club Officers for the year were Darrin Roof, presi- dent; Paul Hottinger, secretary; Matt Kinman, vice president; and Donald Smith, treasurer. Club members developed an interest in environmental matters such as pollution. They also maintained an interest in the actions of groups such as Greenpeace. Closer to home, the group sought to make the stream near the athletic fields a cleaner, safer area for the plants and animals that inhabited the area. In past years members have planted a number of pine seedlings and have cleared brush and trash from the stream area. 82 ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB TO INDY SPEEDWAY In September members of the Smithsburg High School's Human Powered Vehicle Club traveled to the Indianapolis Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the Eleventh Annual Human-Powered Vehicle Speed Cham- pionship. The group made the trip to test a recumbant bike that they had built from scrap. To defray their travel costs, and to raise funds for the Lions Club's purchase of a special computer for blind student, )enny Verdier, the group held many bike-a- thons. They also took part in the Washington County Ride-A-Bike for the retarded. Results from the Indianapolis event included an eighth place (out of 23). They were also awarded a first place for their three-wheeler. Advisors Baker and Hoffman hope to make a return to the Indianapolis race next year with a modified bike.

The FBLA is now un- der the leadership of their new ad- visor, Ms. Terri Callamari, a new teacher to our school this year. FBLA has held many different fundraisers to help pay for their trips to competitions. They sold different kinds of candy, cookie tins, and Easter bouquets. In the regional competitions at the beginning of the year, FBLA achieved first place certificates in three categories: Shorthand I was won by Rhoda Munch, Shorthand II by Belinda Embly, and Typing II by Laura Ridge. Fourth place was re- ceived in Accounting I by Melissa Tracey and in fifth place typing to Kim Kirkham. Honorable mention was given to both Steve Harbaugh in Accounting II and B. ). Wiley in Business Math II. As a result of their first place win- nings in the regional competitions, members qualified to go to State competitions. In the state competi- tions, individuals received two plaques for second place in two categories: Rhoda Munch in the Shorthand I and Laura Rige in the Typing II. FBLA officers include Lisa Gesford, and Belinda Embly (front) and Devena Smith, Steve Harbaugh, Ms. Callamari, a teacher new to SHS this and leannie Miller (back).

SHOW CHOIR 'SPICES UP' SHS VOCAL The chorus's rendition of Alexander's Ragtime Band heats up the SHS stage at the spring concert entitled American Pop . The concert traced the history of popular American music. Vocal music has taken a step for- ward at Smithsburg High with the revival of the chorus and the addi- tion of the first ever Show Choir at the school. Both vocal groups had a busy year. Both groups meet during the school day in regular class settings, but they also spent hours of prac- tice after school as concert time neared. In addition to rehearsal, the groups provided entertainment to area nursing homes at various times throughout the year. In November a group of vocal- ists performed at the Officers' Club at Fort Ritchie, and in December they took their act on the road and went Christmas caroling around Washington County. In addition, two concerts were performed: one at Christmas time on December 23, and one in the spring. The spring performance was a history of popular music in America, dating from Pre-Civil War times to the present. Members of the first ever Show Choir at Smithsburg High School include: (seated) Mrs. Charlene Perry (advisor), Alyson Garrett, leanme Miller, April Haines. Cindy Martz, and Daphne Semler. Other members include: Jeff Rice, Liz Martz, Shannon Meadows, and Tammy Howell (left): Carol Kuhn, Tami Tracey, Michelle Bussard, Lisa Miley, and Tammy Kendle (center); Claudette Moser, Jodi Paparounes, Robin Hose, and Jason Butt (right). 86 SHOW CHOIR - CHORUS PROGRAM Freshman Holly Starliper is the featured soloist for the chorus in their presentation of Poor Wandering One at the spring concert. Two performances were given, one for the student body during the school day and one in the evening that was open to the public. Among the onlookers as Wes Redman sings I'll Be Home For Christ- mas are fellow singers Tammy Howell, Jason Butt, and Michelle Bussard. Wes was one of the featured soloists at Christmas. Show Choir members wish the audience a merry Christmas with a variety of holiday music in their winter concert. Members dance as well as sing. With a chance to sit and get off their tired feet, the show choir gives their rendition of But Not For Me at the spring concert. SHOW CHOIR - CHORUS 87 PLANNING A PERIODICAL Forty-five pages left to do. When's the next deadline? Do we have headlines? What, no captions!? If you have ever entered the journal- ism room as a deadline approaches you have probably heard these screams of anguish, among others. Producing a yearbook takes a lot of patience, and hard work. At somewhat of a handicap, this years' staff was the smallest in the last few years. Also causing an interference, during the third marking period three se- niors on the staff attended CSC for a data processing course. In addition, two juniors left in January to attend courses till the end of the school year. Out of a total of sixteen staff members, all but five were seniors; which can make a big difference at graduation time. By ruling with an iron fist, advisor Beth Dundus worked with the staff to make the production and assembly move somewhat more smoothly. Page by page, headline by headline, the staff as- sisted by many other students worked vigorously to produce an annual of pic- tures and memories that reflect the 1985-86 school year. The yearbook staff for 1985-86 includes: (top) Kate Ambrose, Mary Souders, Kristi Grimm. (Middle) Sandra Grove, Paige Reedy, Angie Morrow, Sheila Weakland, Brian Walker, Karen Hudson. (Bottom) Kelly Baker, Jeff Harshman, Jennifer Johnson, and Arvid Reina. Kelly Baker gets some help on her pages from advisor Beth Dundus. Miss Dundus is advisor to both the school newspaper and to the yearbook. She also teaches the Journalism I class which prepares editors for both publications. Junior Jeff Harshman works vigorously to make the next deadline for the yearbook. Jeff was in charge of the advertisements and helped with the sports section. 88 YEARBOOK NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES During the 1985-86 school year, the Leopard Print staff has worked with a variety of story lines and subjects. Mak- ing deadlines and bringing interesting school-related stories to the students' view has all been a major part of the success of the Leopard Prints. Overseeing the operation, advisor Beth Dundus helps editors find new and enlightening stories of interest to put in the paper, while also teaching a class the fundamentals of journalism. Journalism I and II students wrote stories throughout the year and added their own creative ideas to the production of the paper. Editors for the paper include: Sandra Grove, Editor-in- chief; Dina Corsi, Tracey Bohn, News Co-Editors; Jennifer Johnson, Feature Editor; Kelly Baker, Sports Editor; and heading the photography staff were Brian Walker and Arvid Reina. The business end of the paper was taken care of by Missy Reed; and Shawn Windisch served as Exchange Edi- tor. Juniors Sherry Orndorff, Stephanie Strauss, Mike Nehring and Brian Kirchner from Journalism I class helped write stories for the newspaper.

NEWSPAPER 89 Jeff Chaney, Chris Spaid, Joe Banzoff, show their dancing ability. An incredible cast of 100 under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Bushey paved the way to this year's all-school production “My Fair Lady . For over three months the cast sweated, learning dances and songs. Combining all this with the pit band, stage crew, and make-up crew, the ASP members pulled together three performances that brought the house down. Nancy Bushey stated that this year's performance was one of the best. Steph and Danny chat in the beginning of the most smashing number in “My Fair Lady, the number takes place at the Ascot races. The servants sing “Congratulations Jeff leaves to take his vows. 90 ALL-SCHOOL PRODUCTION The full chorus applauds Jeff after the outrageous and unbelievable performance on opening night.

Gabrielle's is similar to a provincial inn. AT GABRIELLE'S; Even though the French Club was small in number, those who joined had a rather busy year. The various members held several fun- draisers to pay for travel expenses for two field trips in the spring. Part of the membership enjoyed the first field trip which took them to Baltimore and a dinner theater performance of the musical Can Can. Some of the same members and a few others had the opportu- nity to sample authentic French food when they went to diner at Gabrielle's with several adult guests. On both occasions, club members enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to similar trips. French Club advisor Miss Magruder dis- plays a Garfield card given to her by a friend for her birthday. Becky and fellow club member Mia Carter walk down the pathway that serves as an entrance to Gabrielle's when the club dined at the end of the year. Some of the French Club members include Tonya Corbiser, Tania Bowers (front) and Christina Brown, Becky Saville, Stacy Butler (Back). 94 ERENCH CLUB ATTEND PERFORMANCE OF 'CAN CAN' Stacy Butler served as president for the SHS French Club this year. Among the delicacies that the French Club members and guests had to choose from were frog legs, snails, cog au vin and trout. In Christina's case, she was horrified to find the fish's head attached. It appears that Miss Dundus went along just to sample desserts. Mr. and Mrs. Saville can't believe she can eat the whole thing! FRENCH CLUB 95 The week of May 7-14 was both exciting and successful for the members of the SHS band. The Leopards traveled to Toronto to compete in the Festival of Music and also to enjoy the sights of Niagara Falls and neighboring Canada. The first two days, the Leopard Band was involved in both marching and concert competitions, including field show and parade. The SHS concert and jazz bands and the wind ensemble also competed. The parade competition was the most successful; the band received a superior rating on their way to finishing first in the AA division with an award for the best overall march- ing band in the parade. Other trophies won include: con- cert band (8th), jazz band (5th), and wind ensemble (4th). Drum majors Dan McDougal and Michelle Darrah re- ceived the outstanding drum major's award for the march- ing competitions. A day spent riding roller coasters at Canada's Wonder- land and visiting animals at the Toronto Zoo were some of the other activities on the SHS' band's agenda. The trip was capped off the last two days in Niagara Falls. Band members spent their time on their own viewing the Falls and doing last minute gift shopping. As the Leopard Band returned home on May 14, they were greeted by parents and supporters with a celebration parade through the streets of downtown Smithsburg. Dedication and a lot of practice made the SHS' band trip both exciting and successful. Band members enjoy a soda and food at an impromptu farewell get- together given at Zappi's Pizza Parlor in Niagara Falls, Canada. After a tiring bus ride, several members of the band take time out for a picture in Dan McDougal and Michelle Darrah show off the Lisa Bresette's room. band's first place parade trophy. % BAND TRIP LEOPARD BAND CONQUERS CANADA A scenic view of the American Falls and the Maid of the Mist can be seen from the Canadian side where the band stayed.

The band quit, there was confusion with the Ramada, and the invita- tions were late arriving. After the juniors got all these problems worked out they settled down until 8:30 Saturday morning. They started right away, to set the theme Tropical Paradise which would highlight everyone's evening. Meilissa and her date await their carriage. Kristen and Cortney turn for the camera.

To most juniors it meant their first formal dance, but to the seniors it meant their last high school dance. The music started and couples shared their first dance of the evening. Looking around you could only see smiling faces, chat- ting friends, and couples dancing as they en- joyed the lovely atmosphere of Tropical Para- dise. Kent and Dina dance the first dance.

PROM 101 MAIN OFFICE, ATTENDANCE OFFICE OVERSEE Mr. Gerald Hammond Principal — Smithsburg High Mr. Donald McCammon Vice-principal — Smithsburg High While everyone involved with Smithsburg High School was enjoying the remainder of their summer vacation in August of 1985, a newly-appointed member of the staff was busily clear- ing out one office and moving into a new one. Mr. Donald McCammon found out that he would become the new vice- prinpipal at Smithsburg only weeks before school was sched- uled to begin. Needless to say, life was quite hectic for him. Faced with a new set of students, new faculty, new principal, and new set of procedures, Mr. McCammon assumed his new job in almost record time. 104 ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTAIN OPERATION OF SCHOOL Another change in admin- istration came at the end of the school year when Mr. Gerald Hammond an- nounced his retirement from the Washington County School System, effective July 1, 1986. Mr. Hammond began his term as principal, at SHS in 1974 and had served in that capacity for the last twelve years. It was his first princi- pal's position in the county. Prior to his appointment as SHS principal, Hammond held the vice-principal's posi- tion at South Hagerstown High School. During his time in the county he also worked at Boonsboro and North Ha- gerstown High Schools. He began as a classroom teach- er of industrial arts. During his term as SHS principal, he oversaw two Middle States Evaluations and a great period of growth at the school. Secretarial positions at SHS this year have been filled by a variety of individuals at various points in time. One retirement and several transfers have been responsible for the large turnover. Mrs. Faye Eccard, who had be- come an institution in the vice-prin- cipal's attendance office, retired in January. Her position was filled by Mrs. Vannoy who transferred from the guidance office. Mrs. Tobie Snyder was then hired to replace Mrs. Vannoy in the guidance of- fice. In the main office a change also occurred. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Judy Cline served as sec- retary and bookkeeper. When she transferred to North High near the end of the first semester, Mrs. Lee Ireland was hired to fill the vacan- cy. Mrs. lolene Coss is the only sec- retary who has remained constant from last year. She serves as secre- tary to the principal. Top left: Mrs. Dixie Vannoy. Top right: Mrs. Lee Ireland.

Howard Theis, another new student, makes up a test in the hallway. Mr. Baker's most memorable mo- ment from high school was the day the vice-principal caught him turning out the lights in the auditorium on his way to T V. English class. The V.P. had been waiting to catch the person who had been pulling this prank every day. Mr. Baker says he was doing it for the first time and, of course, he was caught and assumed guilty of all the other pranks. According to Baker he about shook me to pieces.

Well, if the truth be known, teachers are human too. Mr. Bolyard says he was a mischi-angel. A differ- ent claim was made by Mrs. Bushey who claims to have been an angel.

Miss Dundus fondly remembers five nights of de- tention she received for her part in an untimely cupcake battle on a return trip from a meeting in Frederick. She also recalls burying the worm she dis- sected in biology and singing in the glee club. Favorite teacher foods are as varied as the members of the fac- ulty. Italian, however, seems to be a favorite with many. Mr. Baker and Mr. Hoffman both specified la- sagna among their favs. Pizza tops the list for Miss Copple, and Miss Hogevoll, while anything Italian ap- peals to Miss Dundus, Mrs. Moore and Mr. Ritchick. Seafood is another popular item for the faculty. Mrs. Bushey prefers shrimp and filet mignon, shrimp was on Miss Copple's list, too. Mr. Hoffman also listed crab, lobster and oysters, along with artichokes and Lasueur peas. Sandwiches are big with some teachers too. Mrs. Paci prefers cheeseburgers with mustard and onions while Mrs. Moore likes any- thing in the sandwich line. Mr. Ray simply likes steak and Mr. Gift likes chicken dishes. But the most ecclectic of all was Mr. Bolyard who said he liked all food. There are some sweet tooths on staff as well. Miss Dundus is a fudge-a-holic and Mrs. Moore ad- mits to liking soft ice cream. Mr. Baker longs for hot fudge sauce over peanut butter ice cream and Mrs. Prelog simply listed chocolate candy as her very favorite food. Senior Laura Ridge, one of the outstanding business education students and a member of the FBLA gave up one of her class periods to serve as an office aide in the main office. 108 FACULTY WHEN CONYERS JOINS SMITHSBURG FACULTY What do teachers prefer to wear? Apparently the SHS faculty likes to be comfortable. But each sees comfort as something differ- ent. Mrs. Prelog simply prefers comfortable clothes without being specific. Levis or jeans are the fa- vorite of Mr. Bolyard, Mrs. Bushey and Mr. Hoffman. Bushey likes her jeans with a Mickey Mouse sweat- shirt while Hoffman man likes his with Adidas shoes. Mrs. Paci likes anything that looks good on short people and Mrs. Moore likes domes period. On the other hand, Mr. Gift likes the preppy Izod look and Miss Copple likes anything she can go dancing in. Mr. Ritchick's taste seems to run along different lines, however. It isn't comfort that matters to him; he says he prefers clothes that are cheap! MISS BETH DUNDUS English 10, 11; lournalism I, II. Ill; Ad- visor newspaper, yearbook MR GENE EBERSOLE Geography.

A few of the teachers surveyed claim to like certain types of music; others list specific artists whom they prefer. Those who favor country and western music include Mr. Baker, Mr. Bolyard and Mrs. Moore. In particular, Mr. Baker enjoys Patsy Cline and the Sons of the Pioneers. Mr. Hoffman prefers a related kind of music - bluegrass. Those who like most anything oth- er than country include Miss Dundus and Mr. Gift. She prefers Chicago, Bil- ly loel and Lionel Richie while he pre- fers Huey Lewis and Steely Dan. Mrs. Bushey also likes soft rock as well as classic. Other classic lovers include Miss Dundus and Mrs. Prelog. While Miss Hogevoll likes john Denver, others like their rock in a harder variety. Heart and Stevie Nix are favs with Mr. Ritchick. Still others like a soft variety such as Springsteen and Rod Stewart (Miss Copple). Mrs. Paci's like music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. There are also teachers like Mr. Ray who don't like music at all but prefer natural sounds. Even sophs enjoy art class or so it seems. 110 FACULTY HAMMOND BECOMES HONOR SOCIETY ADVISOR Mr. Sam Cordon graciously poses in his room for a candid picture. Someone told Mr. Craves to go fly a kite, so he decided to do so. Teacher's spare time is spent pursuing whatever it is that makes each feel fulfilled. SHS faculty interests are usually well- known, at least to students who really know their teachers. Reading is a popular hobby even for those whose jobs in- volve an abundance of reading, such as Miss Dundus and Mrs. Bushey. Other avid readers include Mr. Gift, Mrs. Paci and Mrs. Prelog. Various outdoor activities attract the likes of Mr. Baker, Mr. Bolyard, Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Ray. They seem to be the type who like to be outside rather than cooped up indoors. Trying to explain a difficult concept in physics is something that Mr. Phil Hammond does best. He applied to become a candidate for the first teacher in space. MR.

For Mr. Baker, it would be a '65 Mustang or a van; for Mr. Hoffman, it would be a '59 Corvette on a VW bus. Others had flashier tastes; Mrs. Reedy, for example, likes Mercedes Roadsters, and Mrs. Prelog, Lambourghinis. Mrs. Moore likes flashy red convertible sports cars in general, and Mrs. Paci likes MC's. She also likes Broncos and trucks as does Mr. Ray (he prefers Fords). There are Yuppies here too, such as Miss Copple who prefers BMW's and Miss Dundus who likes Volvos and old Triumphs. Ritchick, of course, likes Cadillacs while Mr. Gift dreams of anything wild and crazy like what 007 would drive. Then there's Mr. Bolyard who simply prefers cars that are wrecked.

She also remem- bers the fun time she had with her great part in My Fair Lady. Mr. Ray, likewise, remembers the best part of his high school days — working steady in his rock group in which he played drums. Mr. Gift's most memo- rable moment occurred his senior year when he sat on the bus and watched his little brother bite a guy for 2 minutes. He calls that incident disgusting, but quite memorable.

When asked if they had to do it all over again would they still go into teaching as a profession, Mr. Baker, Miss Copple, and Miss Hogevoll said yes. Mrs. Prelog would have also, but she would have changed her major. Mr. Hoffman said if he didn't go into teaching he would be pounding nails and swearing a lot. But there are others who would do things different. Mr. Bolyard and Miss Dundus would have become vets. Mrs. Bushey would have gone into television, and Mr. Gift would have become a minister, comedian or talk show host. Mrs. Paci would like to have gone into the performing arts and so would Mrs. Moore who would like to have been a Radio City Rockette. Some teachers would have led simpler lives. Mr. Ken Ray, for example, would have become a tuna fisherman or professional scuba diver. Then there's Mr. Ritchick who would rather have become a lawyer than a teacher, at least once upon a time. 116 FACULTY AS MATH TEACHER, ACTIVITIES COORDINATOR MR.

VARSITY BETTER THAN EXPECTED The 1985 varsity football team had an excellent start, winning their first five games of the season. However, when Homecoming came to Smiths- burg, the Leopards were defeated by the Middletown Knights. Defeat came once again to SHS when Williamsport beat them 03, but the Leopards came back to win over FSK and Walkersville, not allow- ing either team to score a single point. In the final game of the season against cross-county rival Boonsboro, the Leopards again experienced defeat. The Warriors took the contest 8-7. The team went on to the semi-fin- als of the state playoffs in Poolesville. In the regional play the Leopards dominated their opponent 26-0. However, the victory was short-lived, as the team was defeated by Havre de Grace, 17-10. Leading rusher for the team was Jeff Chaney with 175 yards. Willie Weakfall led the defense with 121 tackles. The entire defense seemed to be the strength of the team, not al- lowing any scores against them in the third quarter throughout the entire season. Varsity statisticians for the team in- cluded: Kate Ambrose, Angie Cool, Steph Knott, and Mary Souders. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM SHS OPP.

YOUNGEST LEOPARDS LED BY NEW COACH Eric Linn tackles an opponent, allowing him to make only a short yardage play during a home game. Whether they win or lose, the Smithsburg team always stands proud. The 1985 freshman football team had a 2-4 record. The young Leopards had some ups and downs, but through it all they seemed to learn from their mis- takes. Their schedule consisted of six games. Although they started with 2 losses it looked as if the third game was their turning point. After their fourth game they were play- ing .500 ball at 2-2, but ended their season as they began with 2 losses. Under first year head coach, Mr. Frank Linn, it was a learning experi- ence for both the team and their leader. 130 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Leopard defense manages to bring down the opponent in one of Terry Verdier, the freshman quarterback, pitches the ball to one of the the team's two victories of the season. members of the offensive crew, Mike West. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL 131 GIRLS HAVE TROUBLED SEASON; The Leopard Varsity Volleyball Team began the season with a new starting line up. The loss of the graduating seniors last year and the lack of experience this year, contributed to the disappointing 7-8 record. Smithsburg opened their season with a 3-0 victory over Linganore. The girls worst loss was toward the end of the season against Clearspring. They played a rough game and lost, which was a big disappointment to both the coach and the team. One of the Leopards best games, was played during the middle of the season against the Wildcats; the girls did not win, but they played well on the court and looked good as a team. Throughout the season the girls had their ups and downs but looked much stronger as the season progressed. Varsity team captains are Beth Starliper and Missy Seilhamer.

In the fall sports season, a new team emerged at SHS in the form of varsity soccer. As a first year team, they did rather well with a 6- 3-3 record. This year, however, the team didn't fare quite as well, partially because they were playing only varsity opponents. Even though their record was only 2-11-0, the Leopards made it to Region I play- offs, where they lost by only one point to F.S.K., after coming back from a 4-1 deficit. Top scorers were Matt Kinman with 15 goals, and Chris Ferro, Tom Freehling, and Chris Herbst with two goals each.

Smithsburg's golf team has proved itself as a soon-to-be-reckoned-with force in the MVAL. Although compiling only a 5-7-1 rec- ord this year, the team was always within sight of a win. Returning seniors Kent Rice, a third year player and last of the original team mem- bers, and Chris Spaid, second year player, gave the team experience. Once again, Andy Brewer and Kevin Steiner, returning sophomores, were among the top three finishers. Sophomores Brett Smith, )ohn Miller, Mike Houston, Charlie Brehm, Lisa Cordon, and Kelly Pepple comprised the first year duffers. In only their third year of competition, the team just missed sending their top four golfers to the finals. Instead, only Brewer, again the most outstanding golfer on the team, represented SHS at States. Never blown out of a match, the team could have easily had a winning record, if a few more putts would have fallen, and if a few more chips would have been closer to the pin.

Although it was one of the worst seasons at SHS, there were some bright spots for the team. One such bright spot was junior forward guard Jeff Harshman, the team's leading scorer and rebounder. He was selected to the All-County team and received honorable mention, along with sophomore Eric Gerber, on the All-MVAL squad. Although junior Alex Martinez, another bright spot, was not named to any post season teams, at point guard he was valuable to the Leopard's limited suc- cess. He led the squad in assists and played the most minutes and quarters of any player on the team. Senior center Sean Pugh was selected to play in the County All-Star game, played by seniors annually. An- other senior, Kevin Swope, performed as the team's back-up guard and was known as one of the team's quicker players. He was used as one of the team's defensive specialists along with junior Tim Smith. Team members who will return next year are hope- ful about having a better season with the promotion of several talented players from the jayvee squad. After the team is introduced, they get ready to start with, ”1-2-3-Let’s Go. JAYVEE LOSE GERBER TO VARSITY When Red Auerbach, president and general manager of the Boston Celtics, was asked who, if he could pick only one player, he would begin building a basketball team with, he responded, Bill Russell. Why him, you ask? Because he is a big man — just the foundation most successful coaches like to set in order to build a dynasty such as the Celtics. The 1985-86 Smithsburg jayvee team had their big man in the form of six foot-two inch Eric Gerber, and they seemed well on their way to a mini-dynasty with a record of 4-1 through their first five games. These hopes were dimmed just before the Christmas holidays, however, when Gerber was promoted to the varsity ranks — a move that definitely affected the team's chemistry. The team's top seven players had played together throughout middle school, compiling several winning sea- sons, and were 12-2 as freshmen at SHS. Without Gerber, a consistent starting five and the element of team chemistry, the junior Leopards managed only a disappointing 6-12 record. The highlight of the season occurred during the early stages, when the Leopards, 2-0 at the time, hosted Wal- kersville, also 2-0. The Leopards responded in front of a packed SHS gym with a dramatic 49-47 win, creating a fierce rivalry between the two teams. That loss was the only blemish on Walkersville's 18-1 final record. Without the presence of one dominant player, such as Gerber, several people had to step in and pick up the slack. Among those players were Jim Schlossnagle (10.6 ppg), Eric Weaver (9.5 ppg), and Ivan Ward (6.6 ppg). Donnie Miller, not used often as a scorer, was the team's most outstanding defensive player. His hustle often led to fast break layups or needed changes of possession. Of their losses, seven were by fewer than ten points. But losing was something these sophomores were not used to; neither was first-year coach Sam Dixon. The sophs hope that when they rejoin Gerber next year on the varsity level, they will regain that lost chemistry and be well on their way to a Class C Championship.

They started the season strongly by winning the first three games, including a one point win over Catoctin. After Christ- mas, however, the Leopards experienced several rough spots and lost to rivals Wil- liamsport and Catoctin. One highlight of the year was a double overtime, 61-58 victory against North Car- roll. Another memorable game came with a four point win over a tall Francis Scott Key team on Parents' Night. The Leopards ended the season on a sad note though, losing to Walkersville by one point in the first round of regional playoffs.

JAYVEE BASKETBALL 151 SHS WRESTLERS RETURN TO STATES; With 11 wrestlers returning for the 1985-86 squad, the season started with a big loss to Francis Scott Key, 64-6. The season, however, ended with a 15-11 overall record. The Leopards placed seventh at the Beall Invitational Tournament, sixth in the South Invitational Tournament, and third in the Bi-County Tournament. Another highlight for the year occurred when eight members advanced to the regional matches held at North High. The squad including Kevin Redmond, Eric Blair, Eric Linn, Donnie Hammond, Steve Shifflett, Mike Johnson, Darryl Catts, and Brian Rowland placed fourth in this regional competition. To end the season, four SHS wrestlers qualified for state competition. Steve Shifflett, who was defending his state title, was accompanied by Donnie Hammond, Dar- ryl Catts, and Mike Johnson. At Western Maryland Col- lege the SHS squad placed eleventh in the state, but Shifflett went on to win his third consecutive state title. Because he had made such a name for himself in wrestling, Steve was offered and accepted a scholarship to attend WVU and wrestle for the Mountaineers. The 1985-86 Wrestling team consists of: (Front) Donnie Hammond, Steve Shifflett, Mike lohnson, lay Waltz, Mark Obitts, Mark Bair, Cordon Poffenberger, Eric Linn, Eric Blair, and Dan Blalock. (Back) Coach Ted Hart, statistician Susi Hess, Brian Rowland, Glenn Barnhart, Adrian Poffenberger, George Souders, Sherman lones, Troy Hershberger, Wes Redman, Chris Rowland, Kevin Redman, statistician Wendy Gertzog, and Coach )oe Dietrick.

TALENT CARRIES 'LEOPARDS OF Members of the 1986 baseball team at Smithsburg High include: Row 1 - Troy Hershberger, Kevin Smith, Darrin Roof, Barry Willard, Ryan Sanders, Kenny Davidson, and Mike Houston. Row 2 - Samantha Senall (statistician), Craig Clevenger, Creg Smith, Jamie Kline, Eric Gerber, Darrin Whittington, Matt Kinman, Jim Schlossnagle, and Tricia Wiles (statistician). Row 3 - Donnie Hammond, Rick Alton, Kevin Willard, John Miller, Shane Knepper, Chris Beard, and Brandon Knepper. A multi-talented Smithsburg High School baseball team ap- proached the 1986 season hoping to improve on their 6-12 record from a year ago. They did just that. The Leopards were led by seniors Ryan Sanders, Darrin Roof, and Kenny Davidson as well as junior Chris Beard. Ryan earned a first team All-Monocacy Valley Athletic League honor for an infield position while Darrin Roof made the second team. Both players had big numbers for 1986: Ryan led the team in hits, batting average, home runs, assists, and fielding percentage; Roof was second in extra bases and first in putouts and in runs batted in. Kenny Davidson came back to letter again for a fourth year as he saw some action in both the starting pinching rotation and in long relief. Junior Chris Beard also had a spectacular year with both his bat and his glove. He had two or more hits in five different games and led the team in winning runs batted in. The Leopards finished the '86 season with an improved re- cord of eleven wins and eight losses, but the season ended with mixed emotions for a team that made it to the playoffs but who lost to Brunswick in the first rounds. Despite a gutsy perfor- mance by junior Shane Knepper who caught a good game behind the plate while banging out two singles and one run batted in, the team went down to the Railroaders 8-2. Coach Lee Woodring called the team “probably the most talented and the best he has ever coached at Smithsburg High. 154 BASEBALL SLUGGISH SEASON FOR SOFTBALL TEAM; Members of the 1986 Smithsburg Leopard Softball team include: Row 1 — Laura Lowe, Karen Powers, Kristi Grimm, Karen Hudson, and Statistician Lisa Lardizabal. Row 2 - Assistant Coach Archie Graff, Julie Spaeth, Aimee Carter, Shawn Harbaugh, Sonja Akers, Tonya Kuhn, Sue Barber, and Head Coach Susie Cianelli. Row 3 — Lara Stover, Michelle Spaid, Maureen Ungvarsky, Cindy Darrah, Karen Daily, and Sharon Thrailkill. Senior Kelly Baker is not pictured. Karen Hudson catches a fly ball in foul territory, as Cindy Darrah keeps watch. Going after it with her bare hand, Kelly Baker scoops up a grounder. A little confusion occurs between catcher Shawn Harbaugh and pitcher Sonja Akers as the fly ball is hit to them. 156 SOFTBALL YOUNG TALENT STILL SHINES THROUGH Cindy Darrah receives a perfect throw at third base, but just a little late, during the Leopards regional final at Catoctin. Karen Daily takes a time out during pre-game batting practice. With the loss of five starters to graduation, the Smithsburg girls were a very young team this year and had to rebuild in most areas. The infield consisted of mostly sophomores and freshmen. However, the out- field duties were shared by players of all grades. Towards the end of the season, the Lady Leopards defeated many difficult teams. They consecutively won against FSK, Walkersville, and Williamsport, who had beaten the Leopards in their first game of the season. The girls ended with a regular season record of 9-8 and a playoff record of 1-1. The team also made it to the last round of regional play at Catoctin, where they were defeated. Coach Susie Cianelli commented, Overall I was pleased with the season. I thought we exceeded our goals and we are looking forward to a successful sea- son next year. With all this young talent, the ladies should have no problems. SOFTBALL 157 The members of the 1986 track team are (front): K. Deal, M. Obitts, M. Patton, M. Obitts, J. Shaw, S. Webb, T.

At right, Shawn Blair shows his strength as he finishes his leg of the two mile relay team. As sophomore Donny Miller hands the baton off, Mike West prepares to take off in the 880 relay. Rich Blake and Brian Moore are the other two contributors to this impressive team. TRACK 159 SHS RUNNERS RETURN At the start of this track season. Coach Carroll Reid felt that his team lacked in depth, but that they would do well in the big meets. His prediction proved to be cor- rect. In their first dual meet against rival Boonsboro, the team lost to the reigning state champs by a wide margin. They con- tinued this pattern in the dual meets that followed, but Coach Reid did not lose faith in his team. At the SHS Invitational, the girls placed second and the boys third out of eight schools. In the MVAL and County meets, the Leopards continued to shine, and by the time Regionals arrived, they were more than ready for the challenge. With a number of firsts and seconds at the Regional, the team was assured a good position at the State Meet at FSK. Once there, the Leopards were in a tight race with Boonsboro and FSK. In the end several state champions emerged for the SHS squad. State titles went to the girls' two-mile relay, Jenny Shaw (880), Sharon Webb (mile and two-mile), and Missy Seilhamer (dis- cus). An additional title went to the boys' mile relay. Overall, the girls' and boys' teams finished third in the state. Hurdling for the finish line, senior Sue Shryock cap- tures fifth place at the State Track Meet. She finished Senior Missy Seilhamer displays her championship form as she throws a four year career impressively. the shotput at the State Track Meet.

An equal number of seniors and juniors made up the 1985-86 varsi- ty cheerleading squad, four seniors and four juniors. During the summer vacation they practiced 2 to 3 times a week. In order to raise money for the new uniform sweaters and emblems, the squad held a Saturday carwash at Hahn's Amoco. The rest of the money was donated by the Athlet- ic Booster Club. Two senior squad members, Kristi Grimm and Wanda Willard, attended an NCA camp for cheer- leaders at Hood College. They were evaluated on the chants and cheers they learned that day. The seniors received an excellent award. All of the eight varsity cheer- leaders displayed their spirit at ev- ery football game. During basket- ball season the girls were on a rota- tion schedule of 5 girls at boys games and 4 at girls. Coach Larry Shumaker was ap- pointed as the advisor. 162 CHEERLEADER (VARSITY) SQUAD CHEERS TEAMS ON The four year veteran Tammie Barnhart cheers on a cold day at Havre De Grace.

Kelli Leisinger captain and Amy Nave co-captain led the Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad, consisting of four freshman and six sophomore girls. The girls' priority is to boost the fans' spirit at the Jayvee events, in- cluding football, girls and boys bas- ketball, and at pep rallies. Aside from learning to work as a team, the Jayvee cheerleaders were gaining experience that they will hopefully be able to use as a member of the varsity squad. Advisor for the cheerleaders was Coach Larry Shumaker. 164 JAYVEE CHEERLEADERS 166 ADS ADS 167 Holiday Acres Shopping Center • Route 64 Smithsburg, Maryland 21783 • (301) 824-3664 Maugansville Elevator Lumber Plastic, Fabricators, and Warehouse Teieflora Major Credit Cards Weddings Fresh Silk Flowers Gifts P.O.

SHELLY RENEE - SwoM - D O 3,4, Work Experience 4; HR Pres 4; Excelence n Vocational Education CLASS OF '86 NOW READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD SENIOR INDEX 191 Amounts of time we've spent together. Dreams we've dreamed and shared; Giving a smile, but still feeling sad Hiding a tear now and then. Learning, growing through the years together — Memories seeming too trivial then, but so undescribably special now. All the hallway gossip and the nights on the town with the gang, Hopes of the lives we'll someday lead — Suddenly all the “tomorrows become todays . Decisions seem endless — and the times are not easy — are the decisions right? No parent, teacher or friend can forecast what will lie ahead for us. What paths — only time will tell. When looking back at the time spent making, mending, sharing friends, They seem to be an undying part of us we can never lose. But at the moment of last parting — some will stay and some will go — Most you'll lose touch with, although swearing, I'm yours till the bitter end! Only a select few will last forever — not always nextdoor, but in mind — The products of younger years. Pride in the time we've spent together - Gathering, growing, living, sharing — Being a part of one another's lives, Always in minds that remember. Kelly Baker Class of 1986 192 CLOSING
