Springfield Catholic High School is still traditional; how- ever, a difference still shines through. This difference throughout 1984-85 has been reflected through words and pictures. m:nmmwm w , High 11; how- shines ference 5 been is and . . muINMmiTQWEIFWHWTH'mWm mu 10865975 0 SCHS Students shun boredom hether it was an after school practice, a sports event, or just a time to talk with friends, SCHS students were always found lingering long after 5:50. As they put in extra time for work and play, school became a second home for most students. Depending on the season, athletes were seen working on basic skills for their sports. Their hard work and determination paid off as they saw vast im- provements in their abilities. Members of the speech team could be found on the third floor of the Fine Arts Building working with Miss Tucker for the upcom- ing speech tournaments. Many trophies were brought home by these talented participants. Then there were the 20-plus hour employees who rushed off to punch their time clocks. Missy Bohanan explained, iiBoy, work- ing sometimes 50 hours a week and more than 40 hours at Christmas . .. I had nothing better to do.

An- ticipation of the game against Ash Grove took its toll as students gathered in the gym at 5:00 on December 14th for the pep assembly. Coach Ray had encouraging remarks about his teams during the introduction at the pep assembly: Wm very proud of the leadership shown by our seniors and hope that the younger players will gain from their examples. Spirit continued to be reflected through the crowd at the game that night. Both Irish teams fought hard, and the JV came out on top m'th a final score of 55 to 45. The Irish varsity also fought a tough 'iattle. As they lost their lead in the fourth quarter to a relentless Ash Grove team, Irish hopes were dashed. The Varsity's final score fell to 61 to 65. Although everyone felt the disappointment of the loss, Irish pride and spirit was shown throughout the '84 Homecoming Weekend. . fseimwxvnv 1i The JV and varsity cheerleaders perform at halftime of the varsity game. 2i Irish defenders Pat Quinn W12i and Jason Coatney $510 eye the rebound as do Ash Grove opponents. 5i Coach Fred Ray describes the spirit of the basketball teams at the Homecoming pep assembly. 4i The teams encourage teammate Jim Kutz as he attempts to dunk at the assembly.

What does it take to sponsor fund-raising events and plan activities that would promote Irish Pride? By George, it's a Student Council! Not just any ordinary student council, but SCHS's Student Council! Organizing activities were not the only things which helped to make the difference. The respon- sibility of gathering ideas from students, discussing them at meetings, and making plans played a vital role in STUCO's success. STUCO incuded two representatives and the presidents from each class along with the STUCO officers. These officers assembled at meetings which were held every Friday, but had to be changed to whatever day they could meet at lunch. By linking the students and the faculty together, STUCO proved to be a strong voice for the SCHS students in making the difference. 1i STUCO officers, from top: Scott Rice, Tim Charles, Ann Scholz, Jim Kutz, Charlie Meek, John Oriesemer, Sam Coring, Jeff Bauer, Tina McClain, Jennifer Stewart, Michelle Rice, and Laura Marsh. 2i Seniors Bryan Haik and Scott Perkins look like they are ready for the senioritas on Bobbsey Mn Day. .3 As adviser Mr. Saunders speaks, Sam Coring listens attentively. 4i Seniors Ann Scholz, Tim Charles, and John Oriesemer share ideas over lunch.

Answer: Why, an SCHS assembly, of course. These occasional get-togethers where spirits soared, information was acquired and wild skits came alive, entertained the students. One such assembly was held on Veteran's Day to honor those who gave their lives for our country, Parents of SCHS students who served in the military were invited to attend and were also recognized for their service. In another assembly, Mr. Vahldick filled the spotlight by sharing his experiencesat Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Mr. Vahldick was one of the few in the nation invited to attend this camp which was visited by other space-conscious teachers. He was excited about his adventure. T hen there were the high-spirited assemblies held by the cheerleaders. These usually paved the way for another Irish victory while Irish spirit was at a high. 1i A perfect demonstration of coach's pride, Freddie Ray and George Abramovitz beam as they sing the praises of their boys. 2i Showing their pride at every game,juniors Mark Gambon and Joe Harmon demonstrate their unique Irish cheer. 3i Teachers always stand at the door for pep assemblies, but everyone listens when Coach Ray speaks. in Varsity cheerleaders have the students roaring with spirit for the coming game.

Dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns, everyone fit the theme, Puttin On the Ritz A Formal Affair. Juniors and seniors danced the night away while the band, Boy Next Door, created an atmosphere of magic and romance. This dreamy atmosphere had Laura Marsh under its spell. TProm was definitely my most memorable moment from senior year. Laura went on to say, TWhen I look back on high school, I'll always remember Senior Prom and Scott, who made the night so special. To pull Prom off without a hitch was the juniors' job; one which they did well. Said Elizabeth Woolsey, TWe worked long, hard hours finding the right place and earning the money, but the end result was well worth all the time.

Although Jim had experience directing, it was not with such a large group. TI thought it wouid be a real problem directing my friends, but they helped a lot. i had a great cast, commented Jim. Jim's previous acting experience consisted of minor roles throughout high school, and the lead in Godspell his sophomore year. Jim played the part of Jesus. Jim's directing experience consisted only of Reader's Theatre. However, this Reader's Theatre group captured lst in the district and 5th in the state with his cutting from Flowers for Algernon. All this experience paid off Jim's senior year when he was presented the Player of the Year award by the lntemational Thespian Society. Jim enjoyed directing and felt he gained more experience being in the director's chair instead of being the actor. TDirecting the play was great. I hope I'll be able to do more directing in the future. 1i The federal agents have arrived. The tough guys are played by Neil Tenbrook, Dave Ponder, and Pat Quinn. 2i itLook everyone!

Location Doesn't Change Meaning his year was different from past years when it Masses were held in St. Agnes Cathedral. This year due to the renovation of St. Agnes Cathedral, school Masses were held in the St. Agnes cafeteria and the school gym. At first, the students thought Mass wouldn't be the same without the cathedral. It wouldn't be like church. However, it seems that the students had come to value and appreciate the Mass even more. The students learned that it wasn't the building that made Mass special, it was the Mass itself, especially receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion. Also, the realization that the love of Christ is what brought the students together. As sophomore Phoung Nguyen comment- ed, Hit doesn't matter where the Mass is held. The people getting together and celebrating is the important thing to love and share with one another. 22 came to attending school Masses.

These frustrated voices could be heard every day during sixth hour along with typewriters and lots of noise due to the efforts ofthe Irish Reflector staffwhile working to produce a quality yearbook. A lot ofhard work went into the book. There were ads to sell, pictures to order, copy to write, and deadlines to meet. Although there were setbacks, and problems at the start of the year, the Irish Reflector staff pulled together and did their best to meet the requirements and reach their deadlines with time to spare. V A lot ofhard work and long hours went into this yearbook. My special thanks goes to Kathy Schatz, said Ashley.

High Standards Show Excellence he National Honor Society once again kept its high standards of excellence, and this showed in many ways by projects undertaken by the '6 group. The annual Field Day was held in September at the Griesemer farm. The afternoon was spent playing volleyball, horseback riding and eating. The admis- sion Charged went towards the Charlie Donegan Scholarship Fund, as did the proceeds from the selling of camations later in the year. The event sponsored by NHS which was attended by the most students, however, was the Sweetheart Dance held on February 16th. Crowned as the Sweetheart King and Queen were Neil Tenbrook and Elizabeth Woolsey. Along with the king and queen, the court was also presented at the dance. Although the National Honor Society's purpose was to uphold its standards of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, it did so in ways that were fun and recreational. ! , W 3' v t'ialztz, , VAqutnu : 1i Jim Kutz offers a warm welcome to new members Scott and Michelle Rice following the induction ceremony.

Irish Capture First in C1.C.L he season of '84-'85 was the season for the Irish speech team. iiAt first there were techni- cal difficulties - organizing and memorizing lines, but finally we pulled together and did real well, captain Julie Atwell commented. With sixteen out of thirty trophies, SCHS dominated the GCL Speech Tournament. This season, 7 members won 25 tro- phies in 15 contests. Besides debating, which became his iiniche , Sam Coring won $5,000 in scholarship money in the American Legion Competition. Sam won county, district, zone, state, and national regional contests. He advanced as far as national sectionals in Milwau- kee. His 10 minute oration was accompanied by a three minute extemp speech on one of the articles of the Constitution. til was speaking about something that was very important to me, the us.

Fellowship of Christian Athletes - FCA - was a new organization formed this year by SCHS's athletes and coaches. The purpose of the group was to present to the athletes and coaches the challenge of receiving Jesus Christ in their hearts and serving Him through relationships and spirit of community. Meetings were held once a month accompanied by a movie or guest speaker. Coach Ron Estay, the assistant football coach at Evangel College, was one of the speakers who told of his experiences and relationships with Jesus. Jimmy Gray stated, HFCA gives people involved a chance to get to know the feelings of fellow athletes. It also gives a chance to share our own feelings with one another. Although FCA consisted of approximately 15 members, the outlook for the future looked bright as more students began to discover the purpose of FCA. 1i Members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 2i Everyone listens closely during FCA meetings. 5i Julie Atwell and Shannon Jackson present a dramatic cutting during the ITS assembly. 4i Coach Ron Estay of Evangel College relays his thoughts about athletes and goals.

It was the Fighting Irish football team. The football team pos- sessed dedication and Irish spirit. Because ofthe many injuries, the Irish lost some of the games, but the Irish boys remained tough and played hard. None of the dedication and hard work would have been possible with- out Coach Redd and his assistants, Coach Abramovitz, Coach Pancko, and Perry Dobson. Senior Pat Quinn commented on the football season, ttAfter last year's team was so success- ful, we felt very confident and excited going into this year. Our first game was real exciting and we played real well and won. But, from then on, due to injuries, we didn't do as well. From the freshman point of view, Ricky Gumucio commented, ttEven though it wasn't the best season, it was a great experience and I had a great time.

The arrival of a new coach, Mary Martin, and the loss of all but two varsity players made this year a rebuilding season for the Irish ladies. Senior player Laura Marsh said, HOff the record, we had a really great volleyball season. Coach Martin added extra enthusiasm through her new and always challenging drills. But most of all, I'll always remember the team experience and getting to know the players. HI-Iopefully the determination of the young players exhibited will aid in rebuilding a future successful volleyball team, added Darla Klieth- emles. This year's volleyball team had a tough season. The players worked and sweated hard every day, and always kept their chins up. The team started practicing on August 4th in the hot gym and never gave up until the season was over. Although efforts didn't win games, the experience that each player eamed would help them in future seasons. Darla went on to earn second team, and Laura eamed Honorable Mention in the conference. , ST, 41 Volleyball D Varsity Top: Manager Andrea Ecklund,Missy Dilday, Darla Kliethermes, Joyce Roetto, Coach Mary Martin.

Rebuilding was the key word in describing the Fighting Irish 1984-85 basketball season. The Irish returned to action with only one returning varsity starter, Darla Kliethermes, along with three other seniors, Missy Dilday, Michelle Manczuk, and Ann Scholz. We worked long, hard hours to perfect our basic skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting,'v' replied Missy Dilday. Although hopes of a successful basketball season were dashed, the seniors restored confidence and leadership in the young players by pep talks before, during, and after the games. Darla Kliethermes stated, iiOur record does not express the fun we had this year. Being a senior was exciting and I enjoyed helping the younger ones who needed some improvement in the different areas of their basket- ball skills. Michelle Manczuk summarized the season. Basket- ball this year lacked only one thing - victories. Other than that, it was a lot of fun, especially the bus trips back home! Basketball 45 .wwws . Darkroom.

In the midst of all of the talk about the Irish taking the state championship last year, this year's team proved their supremacy by a respectable season. By emphasizing determina- tion and exhibiting confidence, the Irish produced a string of victories. The Irish roared by a fast start as they won six straight games in a row, along with various place rankings in tournaments. Although the Irish boys were Close to having a major power- house, many key injuries plagued the team at some of the most crucial times throughout the sea- son. However, despite these injur- ies the Irish pulled through to capture the Walnut Grove Tour- nament title, third in districts, and second in Greene County League. Pat Quinn assured, HEven though we didn't have as good a record as last year, we still enjoyed the season. It's been fun playing with Scott and Bryan the past seven years, but it's sad that it had to end. i h I think it was hard to come W45 D Joe Oumucio, Chris Bailey, Loc Nguyen, David Castillon, Pat Stewart, Denny Dressler, David Mrad, Bill Oassel, Steve Van Rhein, Pat Quinn, andJohn Greisemer, all soccer team members, gather for a quick picture. m Freshman Basketball Team top to bottom: Robby Nelson, Scott Ermold, Jeff Bauer, Lance Reeves, and Coach Abramovitz; Charlie Meek, Steve Hermann, Marshall Thompson, and Chris Ruzlcka.

They went 500 in regular season play, and the team received second place in the city tournament. Since the team is not a school sponsored team, the soccer players had to do three things; One-find their own coach. Mr. Dressler gave his time and energy to coach the team. Two-organize their own team. The team had a large turnout and consisted of boys from every class. Three-hold practices. Practices were held whenever it was possible for all players to attend. The players also contributed money so they could buy uniform shirts. After purchasing the shirts, the team decided to be unique by placing fractions instead of whole numbers on the back of their shirts. There was often a large spectator turnout when the boys were scheduled to play. Students came in large numbers to enjoy an afternoon of action and humor. The soccer games were played in the Soccer- dome, and the Irish played teams from Parkview, Glendale, Hillcrest, and other schools. According to John Greisemer, HThe games I played in were a lot of fun. Soccer and Hosh B.B. Squad Photos by THE PHOTO SHOP D The varsity cheerleaders.

Some of these new ideas were learned at National Cheerleading Association camps during the summer. The varsity squad attend- ed camp at Tulsa University June 18-21 while the jv squad stayed closer to home and attended camp at S.H.S.U. in August. Fortunately, the grueling work paid off as both squads learned everything from new jumps to dance routines. Both new and old cheers kept the crowds spirited throughout football and basketball seaons. The cheerleaders spent many hours practicing under the supenli- sion of two helpful sponsors, Mrs. Roseanne Mertz and Mrs. Karen Heatherington, who were present at every weekly practice. They often went above and beyond the call of duty by helping with several projects which were held to raise money for new uniforms. Over all, the year was successful and the cheerleaders worked to keep the crowd alive through the wins and the losses. 49 Eheerleaders 1i The 1984-85 track team. 2i Talking about the upcoming meet, Coach Martin talks with Coach Redd and assistant Coach Dilday before the District track meet at Stockton.

The teams had to work out harder to keep in stride with their competition. Even though the hard work didnit always show in the amount of medals received, or the number of points scored, both girls and boys teams set new school rec- ords and ran personal best times. The only member of both the girls and boys track teams to qualify for the State Track Meet in Jefferson City was pole vaulter Mark Gambon. Mark al- ways placed at every meet during regular season. At state he won first place in pole vaulting, and he set a 2A record at 146, which is also a new school record. Mark said that llState was different this year than others because I was the only one there. When asked how he felt, Mark said, ill was nervous because I wanted to do well, but I was able to control my nerves, and that helped. llWinning first was great because my hard work finally paid off. The state was like icing on the cake. As for next season, Mark plans on vaulting 17'.

IN Seniors S ' SHOINGIS 59 The beginning Class of '85 of the end lthough the last day of school for the seniors was May 23rd, the night of graduation on Sunday, May 26th, was the beginning of the end for the class of '85. It seemed hard to believe that four of the best years of their lives had come to an end. Though high school and the good times it had brought were over, many of the seniors were looking forward to beginning life on their own away at college. The seniors participated in many activities together in their last days as a Hclass at SCHS. The all-school graduation Mass was a tearful event as seniors said their good-byes to friends and faculty, with the senior breakfast which followed being the finale oftheir days at SCHS. The Baccalaureate Mass on the afternoon of May 26th provided an opportunity for the seniors and their families to celebrate Mass together. Finally, at 7:50 P.M., the moment had finally come. Realization that the seniors were really leaving hit family, friends, and seniors alike as they filed into the gym to receive their diplomas, their tickets to a new beginning. Though tears of joy, relief, and sorrow were shed that night, we will always have the memories to hold onto as the 41 graduates end, yet begin, another segment of their individual lives. 1 1T The seniors express their emotions at the end of the graduation ceremony by traditionally throwing their caps into the air. 2i Bill Jones flashes the audience a thumbs up sign as he receives his diploma. 3i Darren Sullivan seems amused, but Julie Atwell and Tom Redican are taking the Senior breakfast more seriously.

Faculty 69 he coming of a new Bishop was one of the many changes that kept the Administration Staff busy. John Joseph Leibrecht was installed as Bishop of Springfieid-Cape Girar- deau on December 12, 1984. Another important change was the building of the new High School. The planning and fund raising for the new high school was carried out by the Development Board. The Development Board was made up of businessmen and women who volunteered their time to better the Catholic education for the Springfield area. Their original plans were to renovate the old high school, but decided to go full scale and build a new one. The funds came from pledges made by families and were paid over a five to ten year period. . Nita Springer worked for the Development Board under Dr. Aug as the executive director. Her job was keeping required records, coordinating meetings, and acting as a correspondent. When asked how she liked her work she answered, it is a great challenge and very rewarding. i enjoy working for the Development Board. 1i Coordinator of Springfield Catholic Schools, Dr. Eugene Aug, listens to a proposal from Sr. Raynaid. 2i Talking on the phone while filing is one of Mrs. Springer's many talents.

Religion was scheduled as a regular five day class instead of followmg the previous rule of having religion only three .days a week. Students spent time reading, asking questions, discussmg, and domg homework. Pat Kelly didn't always like the homework but commented, tilt really helps when Sister Shaw explains the chapters. Religion class was a time to open up to the group and relay individual thoughts and feelings to the class. Major topics were discussed occasionally, with an appropriate reading from the Bible read to provide guidance. ill like it when the whole class 18 participating in the discussions, even though we get into arguments sometimes, added Pat. Students sometimes wondered what they could do in the future with what they had learned in religion classes. Pat's view will hopefully become one of all wondering students. lllt helps me to learn more about Jesus, to understand the Bible, and it has helped me build my faith. 1i Mr. Moncher takes on a new job, teaching freshmen Religion, in addition to Geography and World History.

If that writer happened to be a Greek and Latin scholar then grammar and vocabulary were bound to turn up in the class curriculum. a Darla Kliethermes, however, enjoyed Margaret Newton's English class best when learning new grammar rules, vocabulary prefixes, f and suffixes. Darla said, Hlt helped me develop better grammar usage skills and to acquire a larger vocabulary. ,3 Darla felt that having taken Mrs. Newton's class would be to her i advantage for future college English courses. Because of the teacher's experience and excellence in her field, the work was often Jl challenging. Darla and most other students felt that all the writing I which was done, such as term papers and reports, would be well worth the effort. ill will benefit from writing the term paper after it's done, but the work up to the finish will be tedious. ll Jim Amos' ploys to get Mrs. Newton's l J attention don't seem to working. 2i The 1X freshmen listen attentively as Mrs. Dulle , checks their sentencerstructure which is on the board. sl Taking time out from grueling English work, Terry Gross and Catherine Jabusch listen as Laura Dressler tells an amusing story. 4i Sophomores seem to be doing everything but English.

Mrs. Newton has a tough schedule, but amazingly, she keeps calm. Learning theorems proves challenging ath is my worst subject, but this hasn't been a bad year, commented Dora Oiboney. Dora hopes to get basic geometry skills if she can remember all those theorems and postulates. Can math be interesting and exciting? Dora found math to be neither of the two. llWe just follow the outline of the book. We don't do anything real exciting, but then math doesn't offer much room for excitement. Sometimes it is interesting trying to figure out a certain proof. Dora's geometry class met every day during second hour in room 203. The hour was spent grading homework, working proofs, and memorizing theorems and postulates. HCoach Redd sometimesjokes around a little bit, but usually hejust teaches the class in a straight fomard manner, said Dora. Dora thought that math would affect her future. tilt will lower my grade point average. No, I'm just kidding. llm hoping to use these skills sometime in my future education, although I don't know what I will study. 75W y ll Among the clutter of papers, Mr. Vahldick explains a problem to James Mowery. 2i in Algebra ll Steve Van Rhein shows Mr. Redd how he thinks the problem could be worked out easier. :0 Figuring out Geometry problems takes time.

Ellen Tucker studies her math while Natalie Kraus concentrates on other things. 78 Excitement comes with chemical experiments. ho ever thought science was so much fun? Pat Tillman thought so. Pat was taking Biology 2 and Chemistry. Chemistry was her favorite subject. Hl hope to learn all I can about chemicals, their reactions with other chemicals, and how they affect us as people. I enjoy listening to Mr. Saunders, but it is more exciting to see the chemical reactions actually happen. The class was a combination of lectures and labs. llFirst, you must know certain formulas and some basic laws. If you're interested in science you would enjoy this class. Chemistry usually consisted of Mr. Saunders lecturing and the students taking notes. When there were labs, they usually involved experiments in gases, precipitants, and solvents. Some students were in the class because it would help them in the future, but there were exceptions. Hl'm not sure, but I'm looking toward a career in International Law. If I go into that field of work, this class won't help much. That doesn't matter, I just like to learn. ll Pondering on the thought of man's relationship to science, Mrs. Brice wonders how she may relay the message to her students. 2l Concentrating on their assign- ments, Biology 1 students work hard. Sl As Mr. Saunders lectures, Sam Coring takes notes for later use. 1H These Biology ll students, Michelle Manczuk and Bryan Haik, realize that through their hard work and intense reading something positive is bound to show.

Sl Dedication, as Pat Tillman exhibits, is the key factor in tackling the experiments in Chemistry. in Trying to cope with the never ending homework, Karen Bayless lends a helping hand to Missy Tasset. 5l As usual, David Sheridan finds something amusing in every class, but for Jim Yeazel, it's a different story. 6l Concentration and extreme fortitude are just a few things required for students taking Biology I. Just ask these students. 7l During lab in Biology 1, Jennifer Stewart looks at her magnified specimen, while Shawn Thomas reads the lab book over again to make sure theyire doing the right thing. , lax w x Science ttl have Coach A. to thank for my success! merican History, taught by George Abramovitz, was an interesting subject for James Mowery. HYoung people of today need to know how our forefathers once ran our nation and try to apply what it learned to today, thought James. til have Coach A. to thank for my success in class. He is an excellent teacher and has some very effective teaching methods. With films, discussions, and lectures, the students learned to understand how this country survived and became the world power it is today. Mr. Abramovitz also felt American History was important. ttTo have some idea of where we are going, we've got to know where this country has been, said Mr. Abramovitz. til try to make two points: that each event that has taken place in the U.S. is just a step in the ladder of our system. Some are difficult and others unpleasant, but we are a free society, and in a free society we have the opportunity to overcome these difficulties. This is what I try to get across to the kids. 1i Juniors.

For it was in the Spanish classroom we found the Don Quixotes and Salvador Dalis. To get accepted into most colleges, two years of a foreign language was a must, and more than one-half of 5018 Students were answering this call. As Spanish class was flavored un'th Sister Carla's stories of her adventures in Spain, students gained insight to the Spanish language and people. Many students took the opportunity to travel abroad during the summer and try out their second tongue. The importance of Spanish Class was noted by Sarah Soetaert. HSpanish is a new and exciting experience because it helps me, not only in understanding Spanish, but also with my English. Missy Bohanan added, liSure, Spanish gets pretty tiring sometimes, but it will help me with college. I plan to travel a lot someday, so maybe I can talk to some good-looking Mexicans! ll Studying quietly, Shannon Jackson and Aileen Raborar study for their upcoming test.

Latin 8: Spanish Classy Art a Result of Relaxed Students. killfulness, talent, and imagination are essential when it came to art class. They differ from other schools art classes. Shelly Petersen commented, iiitis interesting to compare this year's art class to my old school's. The first big difference is just the atmosphere. My old class was much more structured and organized. The art class here is much more laid back and relaxed. I feel I'm more free to voice my opinion and speak with other students. The activities in art class kept the students busy. The students used pencils, watercolors, charcoal, clay, linoleum block and silk screen which were two types of printing methodsi. This year there is a student who plans to use her talents for her career. Shelly Petersen commented, til'm going to study art in college, go on to get my Master's degree and then get a job as an illustrator, hopefully. With the many activities and students hard work, SCHS art classes came out with flying colors. 1i Darren Sullivan looks proud of the shirt that Sheri Long made for him. 2i John Hull works attentively on one of his many Hmasterpieces. 5i iiO.K. guys, one more time and then we're done.

Many students were rapidly learning computer programming. Mr. Vahldick and Mrs. Pinnell went to a computer seminar in Jefferson City where they learned all the latest techniques and became familiar with the latest materials. Those, who found programming easy, taught those who had trouble. Such tutors were Mark Bramer, Ellen Tucker and Tom Redican. Joe Fago was putting his computer skills to work at his job at the American Theatrical Contractors. At ATC Joe worked doing computerized bookkeeping.

Home Ec. l consisted of learning the'basics of cooking and sewing. This class was required before students could go on to take other Home EC. classes. Trips to the grocery store, field trips lsuch as the tour of Hiland Dairyl, and experienced cooks such as Mrs. Joan Vienhage cooking for the class were what made Foods a fun learning experience. Extra things such as these were also a major part of Child Care and Development classes. The students held parties for St. Agnes pre- schoolers and learned to care for newborn babies.

Even though it was 1 fun, this year there was a difference. This difference was the ; fact that SCHS gym classes were now coed. Several students felt that this heightened the competition and made the games more fun. The classes learned the importance of exercise through the workout done in class before any game was played. When the weather was warm, students could be found playing flag football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and softball. As the weather turned colder, students stayed in the gym and played basketball, volleyball, team handball, and wifiie bail. Gym classes also took place at the YMCA, Walnut Bowl, and Jenny Lind park. Another difference was the coach. Her name was Mary Martin and she did her best to present new and interesting games to the students. 1i Golfing at Jenny Lind Park, Louis Garcia and Mike Kovak practice their swing. 2i Andrea Ecklund and Julie Atwell practice some meth- ods of self-defense taught in their ?.E. class. 5i Missy Tasset is extremely happy after getting a strike at the Walnut Bowl where she went bowling with her ?.E. class. in Laura Gray lifts i , weights in the weight room to build the muscles , in her arms for basketball.

SCI-IS students could be found taking courses at Cirafic Vocational Technical School and at Southwest Missouri State University. Every year, so many students from SCHS attend Vo-Tech. They can take classes ranging from Art to Computers to Automotive to Floral Design. These students do very well at Vo-Tech and often go on to college or to Ciraff Vo-Tech College. There were also those students who attended SMSU. The students from SCHS were allowed to take one course at SMSU a semester providing that they held a certain grade point average. These students were allowed to choose any course they wished to take, however they usually took basic courses so they could get their requirements out of the way. Some of the students, such as Shannon Jackson, enjoyed college so much that they carried their learning on into the summer. i111 7y w w 1i Senior Bill Jones seems intent on making a certain piece fit into a certain spot. 2i SMSU students David, Shannon, and Denny take time out from classes for a quick picture. 5i Gather- ing in front of the fountains, Shannon, David, and Denny share a laugh. 4i Junior Andrew Golden works furiously to understand the electronic process.

Mrs. Coller spent many long hours writing recommendations for college admissions, scholarships, and helping apply for financial aid. Personal - listening and advising those who had problems at home, work, or school. Mrs. Coller also was the faculty sponsor for the National Honor Society.

WE MADE THE DIFFERENCE lthough the 1984-85 school year has come to a close and the seniors have left us, the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen still have years to come. Hopefully, throughout these years, the tradition of being different, exemplified by our high standards, spirit, togetherness, and striving to be the best in all we do, will continue. However, a year- book is not needed to remind students of the llLive Differently concept that comes when one isn't afraid to set goals and try to reach them. This is an attitude which SCHS students will find hard to forget. SCHS will miss those who have left us. With open arms we will welcome those who will come to SCHS because of the margin of excellence provided by the Catholic community in concern for better education, the desire to learn more about the Catholic faith, and for the student-teacher relationship which makes SCHS unique. These students will come to us becauSe they realize that they are the ones who will keep the winning tradition alive at SCHS. I hope in years to come this book is as special for you to look at as it was for us to put it together for you. Besides the staff and our advisor, I would like to thank the following for their contributions and never ending support: Paul Magnin, Ozark Camer- a's staff, those parents and students who donated pictures, Sarah Nelson of National Art Shop, Sr. Mary Jane Slaney, Dr. Jim l-l. Earls, M. D., One Hour Photo 8: The Darkroom. This yearbook is a reminder of all the people, parties, athletic events, homework, and wild times which have made the difference in our lives. Even when all of us attending SCHS during the 1984-85 school year are gone, this difference will continue. It is a result of the caring, respect, and fellowship found in God's love. 112 lcc- ST.
