People A new breed of students entered the doors of our school this year. With the relatively small class sizes it goes to show that its not always quantity that counts . . . itls quality! The school sported many interesting and talented people. Especially in the freshman class, with their roller skating James Parham, soccer playing Mike Dressler, whose interest led to the first SCHS soccer team. Award winners were Michelle Giboney and Carl Wade in music performances. Not many classes have two sets of identical twins. Mary and Martha Bingle and Keith and Erik VanRhein kept their teachers confused almost all year long. The sophomore class had been the largest class in recent years. A very athletic, not to mention artistic class they would set a precedent for classes to follow. Jennifer Simpson captured a iil rating in District Competition in piano. Leslie Baker mixed her schoolwork with A New Breed dancing; Steve Clifton raced bicycles and Lesia Lugge won racquetball tournaments after school and on weekends. The juniors were the top academic class. They were a close group and united when things needed to be done. After the untimely death of Dave Woody,s father, the class became even closer. The juniors always managed to have a good time, but planning prom, dances, and trips kept them busy. The seniors were preparing to start a new kind of life away from high school. They were all special people, leaders of the school and they had a unique way of making school fun. The seniors saw many of their friends and classmates come and go over the years, but they just stuck together to have a great time at the lake on their trip and made it to the ultimate goal GRADUATION! 88 Top left Freshmen CaraI Wade and Thomas Bramer try their hand at an orange Mandarin 381811 in a demonstration for speech 01835.

Freshmen The freshmen newcomers were full of feelings of uncertainty, excite- ment, and the fear of not knowing what to expect during the transition from grade school to high school. The first activity of the year was the Freshmen Mixer Dance on September 6, which helped over- come the anxieties. ltI was very nervous about going to the mixer? explained Larissa Katzfey, tibut when I got there I felt really welcome? At the beginning of the year the freshmen were very noticeable, not Start Journey to 84 ',i only because of their large class MW, but were often seen carrying all their books, giggling, and coming early to class. liFor my first year of high school, I feel like live already done a lot of growing up? confided Mike Vienhage. Unfortunately, tradition held out and the freshmen were still last'in the lunch line at the close of the year, but they had definitely changed.
