Student Government was again responsible for Homecoming week activi- ties. To help generate class participation and spirit, they gave away money prizes. The Student Government was also responsible for student usage of the pop machines. By setting up some general rules for stu- dents to follow, they man- aged to keep the machines turned on. Pop cans had to be disposed of properly rather than kept in the lock- er, no pop during six-min- ute break, and no pop in classrooms were just a few of the rules. As the students abidea by the rules and were able to handle respon- sibility, most of these rules dropped. During Winterfest they sold sweet-heart carna- tions: red for someone you loved, pink for someone you liked, and white for se- cret admirer. They also sponsored a Sundae Sale with all the gooey toppings you wanted. 1. STUDENT GOVERNMENT — Row 1: Connie Lawrence. Kris Seitz. Sharon Wells, Donna Fleischman. Row 2: Corey Schultz.

Three Academic Programs Added Three new programs to recognize students academic achievements were formed in the fall. The Academic Decatholon began in 1968 but is something new for Spencer students. Its purpose is to provide opportunity for high school students to experience the chal- lenges of vigorous academic com- petion. Six tests are administered in the areas of English, fine arts, eco- nomics, math, science, and social studies. Students were selected by advisor Mrs. Rannow based on rec- ommendations of faculty members and interested students with qualify- ing grade points. The National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization of chap- ters which honor high school stu- dents for scholastic leadership, ser- vice, and character achievement. Shortly after the charter members held their initiation banquet, mem- bers co-sponsored project Merry Christmas, which provided care packages for the needy in the Spen- cer area. The third newly formed group was the High Quiz Bowl team. The team consisted of six members and two alternates which traveled to Wausau to participate on Channel 7's High Quiz Bowl program. The team made two appearances. The first time they defeated lola-Scandinavia and at the second program lost in a close session to Colby. All three programs are fine exam- ples of Spencer students striving to reach new heights. 20 4 1. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY — Row 1: Julie Talcott. Melinda Carpenter. Sharon Wells. Jackie Seitz.

Computers Take Over The Press Room For the first time, the SHS Press took advantage of printing their bi- monthly paper on computers using a word processing program. The computers made things run smooth- er because they automatically ad- justed margins and made editing easier. In the fall the staff received third place at a contest put on by the Wisconsin Chippewa Valley School Press Association. Press members consisted of students from the Mass Media Intro Journalism and Ad- vanced Journalism classes. Volun- teer members were also involved. 1. PRESS STAFF — ROW 1: Corey Schultz. Jim Wells.

The SHS Press 22 Yearbook Faces The Future The yearbook staff was faced with the question should the yearbook be continued. Due to the high cost of printing the book, low student involvement, and a decrease in the total number of books sold, the school board questioned the future of the yearbook. In order to prove that the book was worthwhile, staff members had to work ex- tremely hard. This meant learning how to put a year- book together from scratch for all but three members. Staff organization was done differently this year. Inexperienced students were assigned a general area such as copy or layout so they could become good a that phase of producing a book. All the members sold patron support to keep the students’ cost of the book down. 1. Yes. Dean, you may have a sip. says Kiteena Larkin. 2. Sara Gennett keeps her year- book supplies in a handy place. 3. The PTA gives $50 to help keep costs down. 4. YEARBOOK —ROW 1: Kiteena Larkin. Vicki Scharbarth. Brenda Langreck. ROW 2. Paula Darge.

In November a melodrama entitled “Virtue Triumphant of Her Honour in Peril” was performed in front of a full house. For the second perfor- mance extra chairs had to be set up. The cast did such a super job that evening that the audience was literally falling off their chairs into the isles with laughter. For a change of pace. Director Mrs. Rannow decided to put on a heart-warming, tear-jerking play, “Foxfire.” in spring. In it Annie Na- tions lived with the acerbic ghost of her dead husband Hector. Her tran- quility was threatened by a land de- veloper and concern for son Dillard. Her future was played out in a series of funny and touching flashbacks. A banquet was held on April 26 at the Redwood to recognize the achievements of Masque and Bau- ble members. Guest speaker was school board member Allen Ji- cinsky.

The band is under the new direction of Mr. Ran- dy Veale and his wife Diane who is in charge of the choral area. The marching band performed in four parades and four half-time shows. Mr. Veale felt that the marching takes a toll on the band. Because they are out on the field, they need to push for more volume. It took until the Christmas concert in December to achieve a good con- cert band sound. Cabraet IX was held on January 26. The band had only about twenty days to put together a two-hour per- formance. Quite an achievement! But there were no problems due to all the hard work put in by students and supportive parents. 1.

Stu- dents had to become accustomed to Mrs. Diane Veale’s directing tech- niques and student expectations. This posed little problem for stu- dents, though. But what students had to adapt to was only having a choral director around part time. The position was part of a cut back in staff. This caused problems in scheduling students for rehearsals. A new all-girl group was formed to replace the Swing Choir. This new group, the Triple Trio, performed at the Fireman’s Banquet and also sang at the Cabaret. 1. CHORUS — ROW 1: Linda Boock.

As soon as she returned, offi- cers were elected and preparation began for Season’s Celebration which was held on December 19. In order to fund the organization’s activities, ice cream was again sold; but sales were increased to every Wednesday rather than every other week. This money was used to sponsor activities during FHA week. Febru- ary 10-14. Members kicked off the week with a breakfast untypical of hard working students: Scrambled eggs, sausages, blueberry muffings, toast, jam, chocolate milk, and or- ange juice. Other activities during the week consisted of guessing the number of M M's in a jar, candy grams which were delivered to stu- dents on Valentine's Day, and Val- entines which were delivered to the elderly at the Ponderosa Apart- ments. 1.

Members participated in many contests rang- ing from cattle judging to floricul- ture. Also, members attended work- shops, retreats and speaking con- test to build leadership skills. This year’s FFA theme was “FFA leader for the new fields of Agriculture. February 17-21 was set aside to salute the organization on the local, state, and federal level. Every day there was a trivia question about FFA. Monday night the regular monthly meeting was held, and afterward a movie was shown. Later in the week an ice cream and milk chugging contest was held. FFA members showed appreciation to the faculty by putting cheese and crackers in the lounges. Other major activities for the FFA included co-sponsoring Project Merry Christmas with the National Honor Society and entering the Marshfield Chapter’s basketball tourney. By the way, they placed second. 1. FFA — ROW 1: Bryan Helsten. David De- Buhr. Lester Bainer. Todd Foth. Kevin Kulke. Steve Taylor. Carol Endries. Advisor Mrs. Schuh. ROW 2: Neil Neumann.

Many of the members wore red “4N6” tee-shirts to show their spirit. Twenty-seven of the 28 members received high enough ratings to go on to participate at District in Marathon. From here 19 speakers achieved their goals to participate in the state forensics contest in Madison. Receiving perfect scores at State were Audra Rux, solo acting, and Melinda Carpenter, four-minute speech. Besides competing at State, the team had a great time eating at an authentic German restaurant and swimming in their motel pool. 1. PROSE — ROW 1 Michelle Melander. Vickie Jacobitz, Lester Bamer.

More up- to-date courses offerings were made available to both boys and girls. Students could now take courses such as Basic Electricity, Small Engine Maintenance. Plas- tics, Communications, and Ener- gy and Power, Mr. Zenner. Indus- trial Tech instructor, said these courses would be more helpful to students attaining jobs in the cur- rent market.

They decided to hold a garage sale during parent- teacher conferences in Novem- ber. They set things up in the cafeteria so when the parents got done talking with the teachers they could just stroll on into the garage sale. Each person in the class was asked to rumage through their room, basement, and garage for sale items. They sold almost all their stuff. Pro- ceeds from the sales netted about $65; a good start for prom.

The twenty Apple lie com- puters that equipped the room were purchased from vocational monies. Also, modern furniture was designed for the lab’s spe- cial purposes. It took almost the entire first semester to prepare the lab for use. When it was ready to go, Mrs. Adler used the room to teach her Keyboarding III classes word processing. A quarter class on computer literacy was offered to students to learn more about computers. The faculty put the room to good use also. Mr. Larson used the computers to figure grades and to print students’ progress reports.

Gets New Wheels After about ten years of using the same car, student drivers got a new set of wheels. The district traded in the former Driver’s Edu- cation car and leased a blue Ford LTD. The new car had many modern options which the old car didn’t have, such as front-wheel drive and air conditioning. About every three months students were able to learn behind the wheel of different new car. Sophomore Karrie Boehnen, “The car drove smooth and han- dles nice. It wasn’t bad driving in snow at all.” Doug Foth said, It’s a nice looking car, and I en- joyed driving it.

As a result of this broken tradition, the Freshmen and Sen- iors shared the upstairs hallway while the Sophomores and Ju- niors were downstairs. When Senior Neil Sternweis was asked how he felt about the Freshmen being allowed upstairs, he responded, “Freshmen simply do not belong upstairs. Another upperclassmen, Ron Aumann, said, It was a real rip off deal! I’ve waited for two years to be upstairs, and I'm still wait- ing.” Treasurer of the Freshmen class. Keresa Boehnen. had mixed feelings about being up- stairs, I don’t mind being up- stairs, but I know I really don’t belong upstairs because it’s where the Seniors and Juniors belong.” Pal Killy Ray Killy Aaron Hansen Teri Hendrickson Wendy Hoplensperger Amy Krause Jenni Hastings Cary Hildebrandt Sue Hoppe Rachel Lang Shelly Helsten Sue Hildebrandt Lori Kibbel Barb Lau 45 1.

In our case, we had to up the re- quired classes otherwise some stu- dents would graduate without some needed high school training. About one-third of the students graduating from this school have the now re- quired 24 credits or above anyway; and, also, we had to catch up with modern times. The credit change should not affect many students if they have been ‘on the job’ from Freshmen on trying to earn credits to graduate.” The class of 1988, 1989, and all upcoming classes are required to have 24 credits in order to graduate and to keep on “Rising to New Heights.

Later in the year more spirit was generated for both boys’ and girls’ basketball and wrestling. The ten girls that did go out formed squads for wrestling and boys’ basketball. They shared duties for cheering for girls’ basketball. All this was done under the leadership of advisor Miss Gearing. 1. WINTER SPORTS CHEERLEADERS — ROW 1: Keresa Boehnen. Linda Boock.

Faculty members sat op- posite the student body and judged the enthusiasm and noise that was generated. Hoping to gather student sup- port, the letterwinners kicked in for the cost of the fan bus when Eric and Chevy went to the state wrestling match. Without this fi- nancial aid, many students would not have been able to go to Madison. Monies to support these events came from a candy sale in the fall and concessions at winter sporting events. 1.

This year the team relied on a 6-0 offense. This was where all players were hitters and setters; no one person had a special position. Besides traveling throughout the conference, the team participated in the Richland Center Tournament and the Loyal-TRG Invitational. End-of-the season awards went to Kim Bue, MVP, and to Cary Lobner, Most Hustle. In mid-season the Varsity suffered a bad break. Starter Wendy Dall- mann broke her foot while blocking in practice. The Rockets finished the season with a 2-7 record which was nothing to brag about. But the individual ef- forts put forth by the girls were indi- cative of the new spirit of pride rising at Spencer.

But they did improve their physical and mental approach to the game. Everybody worked hard during the summer in the weight room, and the attitude of the team was a lot better. Many of the team members were returning play- ers, which goes to show that their spirits kept rising even after last year's losses. There were several individual ac- complishments during the season. Todd Hildebrandt led the team in rushing with 591 yards and six TD's. The top receiver was Lester Bainer with nine receptions. Punter Todd Foth averaged 40 yards per kick. At the Fall Sports Banquet held on November 25 the following were recognized: MVP — Neil Sternweis, Rocket Award — Terry Gorst, Of- fensive Award — Todd Hildebrandt, Defensive Award — Kevin Tremell- ing, and Honorary Captain — Todd Foth.

Although it was a little damp in the beginning of the season, by the end it was in very good condition for running. The long, hard practices the teams put in paid off. Kim Gropp and Steve Debuhr were named All- Conference team, while John Ault and Dennis Hebert made second team All-Conference. The boys Cross-Country team finished sec- ond, while girls placed fourth. Both teams went on to Sectionals held in Arkansas (Wisconsin). The girls placed fourth there with Kim Gropp going on to state competition. The state meet was held in Madi- son with five inches of snow on the ground and still falling. Although conditions weren’t the best, the meet was still held and Kim Gropp went on to place eleventh in Class C. Conference records were: Girls 5- 5, Boys 9-1 1.

The Most Valuable Player award went to Kathy Sundell who also scored 148 points for the girls. The Dynamo award went to speedy Brenda Lan- greck who made the most assists. Wendy Dallmann received Most De- fensive while Karen Fleischman was voted Most Improved. Receiving the Team Captain award was Senior Cary Lobner. The highlight for the Rocket girls came at the end of conference play when they defeated Granton 48-39; the only win of the season. Besides conference games, the girls were involved in the Spencer Holiday Tournament held during Christman vacation and also Sub- Regional play hosted by Spencer.

His philosophy “no pain, no gain,” His job, to get our basketball team in shape and ready for the up-coming season. He came into coaching ready to make sure that his team was in top phys- ical condition. With his conditioning came improved and high-spirited players. Such as senior Todd Foth who led scoring with 160 total points and who also led in rebound- ing, both offensive and defensive. Lester Bainer also led the team in assists and Tim Sautner led with the most steals. Although the team did not suc- ceed greatly, the little triumphs they did have made it all worthwhile. They finished the conference 2-18.

Eric Zenner (119) and Kevin Tremelling (Heavy Weight) competed at the WIAA wrestling tournament held in Madison in March. For Eric this was his second consecutive trip to the finals. Both wrestlers did a super job represent- ing Spencer by bringing home sec- ond-place finishes and a sixth-place team standing. This year's goal for the team was to gain respectability in the Marawood conference. With the boost from Eric and Kevin and along with the extra effort put forth by team members, this was accom- plished. The grapplers finished the season with a 3-4 conference re- cord and a 5-6 overall record.

Their record was good enough to give them a second-place confer- ence standing. Beating Athens, 7-6, really boost- ed the Rockets' spirit which helped them to win the Granton ''Bulldog” tournament. Individual achievements went to Senior Eric Zenner for the most hits and Todd Hildebrandt for most ho- meruns and RBI'S. The main pitcher for the Rockets was Senior Todd Foth.

This year’s team possessed that quality along with desire, which made them a good team to work with. The team had an improved sea- son with four first-place finishes and two second-place finishes at Pren- tice and Stratford Invitationals. Their strength was depth in all events.

Of the 12-mem- ber team, six were returning letter- men; Cary Lobner was the only Sen- ior. The girls started the season off right with an indoor win at Granton. They continued doing well by win- ning two home meets and meets at Athens and Prentice. The team also took second at the Prentice Invita- tional and third at the Neillsville Invi- tational. Often placing for Spencer were Cary Lobner, Kim Gropp, and Vicki Scharbarth. The girls had a new head coach, Mrs. Beyer, who took over the head coaching job for Mr. Zenner. She had previously been the assistant coach. 1. Seeing that the girls do their jobs right are Coach Beyer. Assistant Coach Redmen. and Manager Renee Freimund. 2.

Student Government initiated new dress-up days to en- courage spirit. Teachers and stu- dents reversed roles on Immitate Your Teacher Student Day. On Tuesday students dressed as the opposite sex would. No one knew what to call the new science teach- er, Mr. Larson or Ms. Larson. An unbeknown creature, the Toast Monster, also showed up to help celebrate Homecoming. Dean Seitz conquered the monster by “keeping it down” the designated length of time. Student spirit peaked during the pep rally held Wednesday after- noon. The volleyball team did an ex- cellent job organizing the rally and keeping the noise level high. Brenda Langreck had the honors of MC-ing the show. Monetary awards were given to the class with the most par- ticipation, the Seniors, and with the most spirit, the Juniors. Even though the Rockets were defeated by Abby 22-7, spirits were not down at the dance that followed the game. King Dennis Gamble and Queen Melinda Carpenter were crowned during the grand march. Students rocked until 12:30 to mu- sic by Z-100. 1. Sophomore Kiteena Larkin feels she is pulling alone, but really her whole class is behind her. 2.

Planned activities such as Hawaiian Day, dog sled races, and the Gong Show generat- ed little student enthusiasm. It was not until the volleyball tournament scheduled for Friday afternoon that things began to heat up. The first pairings saw the 8th grade defeat the 7th graders. This was followed by a mismatch of the seniors against the freshmen with the seniors taking the win. Sopho- mores and juniors battled in close games with the juniors winning the match. The championship match faced the juniors and seniors wth the juniors prevailing. The tournament climaxed in an exhibition game between the faculty and champion juniors. The winning team received passes to a SHS sporting event. 1. The Gong Show was heightened by Kim Zimmermann’s and Annah and Sarah By- chinski's entertaining lip sync of Bad is Bad.” 2.

They were so busy making plans to restructure the organiza- tion, the end of the school year was there before they knew it. Because of the work being put into the res- tructuring, no time was left for Spring Olympics. The Rocket staff realized the fun and excitement the students enjoyed with past Spring Olympics and felt they couldn’t let the memo- ries go by. So here's your chance Spencer High Stu- dents, let your minds run and create your own fun with Spring Olympics. i. 2 3. 4 5. 6 1 2 Junior Prom Proves To Be “The Best Of When the Junior Class made plans for prom, they decided they wanted to be different in order to make it “The Best of Times. Instead of the guys being select- ed to court, this year the girls were voted on and they then asked the guys to be their escorts. The date Saturday April 12, was earlier than typical for Spencer students to go to Prom. The cool of the early spring night was soon forgotten as stu- dents entered the gym decorated in blue, pink, and silver streamers. Bal- loons softly drifted across the floor as couples danced. While King Todd Hildebrandt and Queen Den- ise Fleischman danced to the theme song, “This Could Be The Night, more balloons floated down from the ceiling. Rock and Roll to Go, which pro- vided the music, kept things mov- ing. Prizes were given for answers to trivia questions and hula hooping to name a few. The DJ helped to make it “The Best of Times.” 1. PROM COURT — ROW 1: Lester Bainer escorting Karen Fleischman, Todd Rahm es- corting Amy Neidlein. Queen Denise Fleisch- man, King Todd Hildebrandt.

Ma- roon was also the color chosen for their gowns, which they got to keep. Parents, relatives, and friends could easily read the class’s motto, “Do not follow where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail, which was dis- played on the stage wall. Speaking on behalf of their class were Kim Bue and Melinda Carpen- ter. Kim related how the letters G-R- A-DU-A-T-I-O-N applied to the class’s school days. “Goodbye was the theme chosen by Melinda.

All but one semester was spent at Spencer High. During this school year Mrs. Zogg coun- seled students on the Junior High level. Mrs. Zogg received her bachelors de- gree from UW-Madison and after teach- ing two years of English and social studies she received her masters degree from UW-LaCrosse and became a guidance counselor. She stated she will miss counseling be- cause she enjoyed her work and loved dealing with the kids. 5 1. GUIDANCE COUNSELORS: John Roemer and Jean Zogg. 2. SUPERINTENDENT: Donald Stevens. 3.

The Wisconsin Education Associ- ation took a look at this desperate situation, the training of teachers in the state colleges and universities. Ninety percent have already met these standards. Some of the standards required of teacher training would include the student to have a C+ average be- fore entering a School of Education and to have a B- average before graduating. Competency tests would be given in the area they plan to teach before certification is granted. The Department of Public Instruc- tion requires that the standards be updated when ever necessary.

Teacher In Space Ends In Tragedy January 29 marked the date for the first truly private citizen, teacher Christa McAuliff of Concord, New Hampshire, to experience spaceflight. President Reagan’s futuristic deci- sion to send a teacher along on the space shuttle was made not only to promote the new American frontierism but to restore prestige back into the teaching profession and also to help recognize youth as America’s greatest natural resource. Dreams, however, were shattered when only a short time after the shut- tle’s takeoff, the shuttle exploded kill- ing all six astronauts on board along with the first teacher in space, Mrs. McAuliffe. 1.
