We too were challenged to account for our lives, and, more specifically, our life in high school. The title of our story was Echowan, 1986. This was our classic, our timeless book. Like any book, the pages were written to entertain, inform, and inspire our readers. Like any authors, we used our own settings, our characters, our symbols, our experiences to create the plot. Our book couldn’t be judged by its cover because its content was the important thing: those classic memories of 1986. Fofeshad a-boom! Summer settings exploded j as we sought out new ideas and j experiences. The Twin Cities boomed with thrilling festivities and spectacular extravaganzas. Taste of Minnesota. Riverfest, Aquatennial and the Renaissance Festival were among our widely attended local gala events. As the summer ignited with hot weather, record crowds showed up for the state’s three most popular amusement parks: Valley Fair, Canterbury Downs ) and the State Fair. Our wide-eyed adventures didn’t stop in Minnesota. We traveled from East Coast to West Coast and greatly expanded our horizons. Still others of us received an experience of a lifetime by traveling abroad. We covered numerous continents in our quest for knowledge and excitement. Our summer settings held memories that will long be remembered. Each journey we took unfolded more vivid pages of sparkling adventure. 1 Enjoying the mild summer air.

Maybe the floors had more polish than they had last spring and probably the halls looked frightening and long to those of us who were freshmen, but for the most of us there were places we recalled. There were comfort spots and places of pain. We would return to some again and again. We would seek out new places to build our memories of 1986. Preparing themselves tor victory. Mark Thorne.

Regardless of the roles each of us played as individuals, we were all the risk-takers, the questioners, the debaters. We dared to lose '‘face'' in the pie eating contest. We screamed our emotions out at the final basketball game. We attended those rowdy, always entertaining senior parties. We laughed; we cried. We smiled; we scowled. No matter what mood we were in or what turmoil we were experiencing, our faces reflected the heart of 1986. 1 Even faculty members act crazy at times, as Pete Peterson demonstrates during the Varsity Show. — A quizzical Katie Anderson ponders how many calories she sells in an average day. —.

With each passing day we saw, heard, tasted, touched things which would always convey special meanings. A single word couldn't tell all they had meant to us, all the memories stored up inside each one.

When Jon Lemke, Bruce Cramer or Dan Peterson have car trouble, they fix it themselves. And if they're not fixing it. they're improving it. Peterson started out buying a car for a mere two hundred dollars. By the time he had added a stereo, put in bucket seats, and a new clutch, he had turned a two hundred dollar car. into a thousand dollar one. Peterson estimated that by doing his own work, he had saved well over eight hundred dollars. As for Lemke. he tended to do more motor work then body work. How did Lemke learn how to deal with cars so efficiently? by reading, watching, and asking tons of questions. That's the only way I found I could learn. Cramer was more into customizing cars, than fixing them. He stated that he enjoyed, making bumpers and brush guards for four wheeling. Cramer didn't have anyone teaching him. He did it completely on his own. He simply used the philosophy, I just try it. and if it works. It works, and if not. I'll do it over. By doing their own maintenance and overhauling. they not only saved themselves money, but they paved the way for possible future careers. As Lemke stated. Who knows what my hobby will turn in to!

Se tion • Se Uon • Se t Memories Linger As the saying goes. You can never go back. For the seniors that attended Park schools that closed, this was especially true. Though they would never again walk down those halls, students who went to Brookside, Eliot, Ethel Baston, Fern Hill. Lenox and Park Knoll would carry with them many memories. Some of the most enjoyable memories were of recess. There were the monkey bars, jungle gyms and King of the Hill games every winter. Eric Pratte recalled the time when he was the target of a snowball but ducked, leaving the snowball to fly through the lunchroom window and land in some-one's mashed potatoes. Lunchtime was also memorable. I remember going to lunch in lines and the little red lunch tickets we had. recalled Laura Buchkos-ky. Steve Lindelien remembered the Red Owl truck drivers that would honk their horns at the kids during lunch hour. But along with fond memories, there were reminiscences of terrifying teachers, punishments and the sad days these schools closed. I remember the last day of Park Knoll. My mom and I wrote our names on the wall and one of the teachers was crying. reflected Rob Stafford. So grade school memories were even more special to the seniors of these closed schools because they really couldn’t go back But they had the memories 1 “Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man ... spent playing this game and decide to see if it Thinking back to their childhood days. still holds some of the same charm and fun Jennifer Hanson and Betsy Olson recall hours that It used to.

These are the best years of your life, but all the seniors had left of these precious times were memories, funny incidents, happy moments, but most of all memories of their best times in high school. Kim Wittenberg reminisced of some times she spent with Brian Rodkin. a foreign exchange student from South Africa. I remember baking cookies with him and spending time just hanging out. He really added something special to our class. Other memories that people recalled were out of school activities. My best memory was prom. It was the greatest! stated Julie Selmo. Tim LaVold remembered his second round game in the hockey playoffs against Orono. He stated. So many people came to cheer us on. even though we lost it was a great feeling to know that everyone cared. Seniors knew it was time to move on but they would never forget their high school years. There would always be a special bond between the students of the class of '86. Through the good and the bad they finally made it. | Caps and Gowns: While being measured, Nancy Koursh smiles and states, “Graduation is almost here and I can't wait.” | Prom: Dan Galinson smiles as Bob Jacobson j Sno-Daze: As Bryan McGinley looks out the exclaims, “This is going to be some fun!” window, he remarks, “It's not so bad being a nerd. ” Senior Feature: 25 For awhile, I swore that the next person who asked me what 1 had planned for the future would be taken outside and shot between the eyes! — Rachel Sasson Tamml Cohen Chris Coop Carrie Cooper Susan Corrigan Bruce Cramer Tina Creech Anne Cullen Jeffrey Danovsky « Amy Davidson Alexander Dean Michelle DeJarlals +V‘Nancy Doming ‘Marla Destoche ' During an open hour.

Although senior year had many fun times, like basketball games and Sno-Daze, there were also a lot of pressures that went with it. Throughout the year, students tried to decide what they wanted to do after graduation. Many seniors planned to go to college, but applying and waiting to hear from them was a very nerve-racking experience. Answering questions like name and address were the easy ones. It was the one that asked for a brief essay describing yourself that really got people stumped. Mark Schulman voiced his reaction, Everytime I tried to write my essay, I would get aggravated and put it away. When I finally got my applications in the mail, a large weight was lifted off my shoulders. There was also the annoying problem of having anyone and everyone asking, Where have you applied? and Have you heard from any colleges? It would be one thing if everyone had definite plans, but very few knew of their future. Rachel Sasson was one of the frustrated students, For awhile, I swore that the next person who asked me what my plans were would be taken out and shot. If one wanted to help the seniors forget about their worries a good way was to decline mentioning anything that had to do with colleges.

Most seniors had finally overcome the fears and were able to sympathize with the younger ones whose turn it was to wear the orthodontic hardware. Seniors recalled the fears, myths and embarrassing moments of the tin grins. Their hearts grew cold and their eyes glassy when they heard those words You need braces. Mark Reeves said, All that went through my head was the pain, but after the shock I realized it would be worth it. The occasion remembered most often was of kissing, It was awkward at first but only because I was nervous and unsure of what it would be like,” said Lisa Kuduk. Aside from the feelings of insecurity, there were lots of embarrassing and humorous incidents. Bob Jacobson remembered a huge reflection on the wall because of his orthodontic work in 7th grade. Stacy Hall thought back on the time she laughed and her rubber bands popped out. Some also remembered getting their braces caught on their clothing while getting dressed. But in the end everyone felt living with braces was worth a perfect set of pearly whites.

Is delivering plants to the patients in order to brighten the rooms and cheer up the patients. Settiote • Se tianA • Aides Earn Stripes Giving time and effort as a volunteer was not for everybody, but a group of senior girls thought it was worth every minute — Some people might wonder that these girls could give their time and get nothing in return. All the girls agreed it gave them experience in working with people. They formed special relationships with patients. Sherri Tyrer said, Many patients don’t stay long enough to get to know them well, but the ones who do become special, Connie Chapek planned on entering the health field so she thought her job in the physical therapy department would be a good experience in considering that type of career. Celeste Brooks felt candy striping would show her what the medical field was like. But the main reason they became volunteers was the feeling of satisfaction that came from helping people. Chapek said, Volunteering gives you a feeling of doing something good, making others feel better and cheered up.” Methodist Hospital did have a way of repaying them. By working 200 hours and being active in school a volunteer could qualify for a 100 dollar scholarship. In choosing to volunteer their time and effort the girls felt that smiles directed at them from those less fortunate was payment enough and rewarding in a special way.

The people were harder to get to know because the school's bigger, but the ones that I have gotten to know are really nice.” Besides having a little trouble working out her schedule, things went along very well for her.

But when the music started, the girls concentrated on what they had practiced, and they remembered their routines. At a flag corps practice, the girls worked on basic skills such as spins, maces and slams. They also reviewed routines and worked out problems with new routines. When they were done practicing, they rewarded themselves by going across the street to McDonalds. During these practices, students were in charge. Mary Roden and Terri Anderson, captains, had a lot of responsibility. It wasn't easy for Roden and Anderson to tell their friends what to do. Roden even had to decide what kind of outfits the girls should wear and how to pay for them. They held a garage sale to earn some money for them. But having to spend time at a garage sale didn't diminish their pleasure for being on the corps. I enjoy twirling the flag, and I enjoy doing something physical. stated Roden.

Seniors: 37 Settlor • Se t6an • Settlor Cherished Friends Old friends are like old jeans: they never wear out. The seniors realized this and spent a good portion of their time cementing relation-ships before the inevitable separation following graduation. As seniors, many had their best friends already established. They shared everything all through high school and now many were going in different directions. Jodi Schaefer and Vicki Butts were an example of this. Schaefer planned on attending Stout in Wisconsin while Butts was planning on going to the University of Minnesota. Butts stated. We want to spend a lot more time together before we go our separate ways.” Schaefer added that We will definitely visit each other whenever we can. Karl Gahlin was going to join the Marines. His best friend. Dave Ward, wanted to attend a college out of state. Gahlin stated. “We try to use our time together. Other best friends were heading for the same place. Kelly Shuster. Dayna Spec-tor and Leslie Barry were all planning on attending the University of Minnesota. Spector commented. We have grown closer as we make our plans to be sure to be together a lot next year. As the end of their high school days came closer, seniors became more sentimental and were determined that the closeness they shared in high school would always stay intact.

Catherine Lemoire Jon Lemke ♦♦’Karen Levine Remember when the teachers used to be the enemy and feared by most of the students? No longer was this true for the seniors. Many could feel the change as they got older and could see more eye to eye on subjects. Most of this was due to the higher maturity level of seniors. The teachers that many had dreaded as freshmen were now regarded as friends, confidantes and excellent people to confer on such things as classes, assignments, future plans, sporting events and even their personal lives. If I needed someone to talk to and none of my friends were around, I knew that I could go to some of my teachers.’ stated Debby Rhodes. Students turned to teachers because they are with adolescents daily and many understand the pressures better than parents. I’ve realized that as I've gotten older. I've gotten to know my teachers better and as a result it's dissolved into more of a friendship rather than just a student teacher relationship, commented Karen Levine. Agreeing. Rhodes added, the student teacher relationship is still the same inside of classes but once out it changes. So was it the teachers who changed or the students? Amy Cohen replied.

Koch's technique of teaching his psychology classes was much different from the way most other classes were taught. At the beginning of the semester the students divided into four small groups, in which they would stay for the semester. Koch commented. It creates a greater sense of community and makes the subject of psychology more practical. Most students liked the groups and enjoyed the way he taught his class. Julie Mathews said. I really liked the groups because you got to meet people you had seen around the school, but never really knew. Most of these groups became close after working together for a while. Michele Anderson said. We got to have discussions in our small groups. I felt safe enough to tell things to my small group and I could express myself without telling the whole class. Mathews added. You could tell your feelings and people would listen to you. Koch felt strongly about his system of teaching. The small group atmosphere creates a greater sense of community. The students gained a lot from the experience as Anderson said. I felt that I learned a lot about myself and I recommend that everyone take psychology to get a better understanding of themselves and others.

In one scene Lisa Ness had the rare opportunity of slapping Emilio Estevez across the face. Not only was that scene used in the movie, but it was also used in a music video that was played on MTV. (Jnlike Lisa, the majority of the seniors in the movie were used exclusively for the school dance scene. As if it were not enough to be seen in a major motion picture, a few lucky seniors were used in a total of six scenes, making $20.00 per day.

Steve Ratajek commented There was nothing else to do and flipping around ridiculously on our bikes was intensely rad. They also raced in BMX competitions. Both Holland and Ratajek became freestylers for essentially the same reason — It was something new to do on their bikes. I saw someone riding a BMX bike, and was interested in it. So. I got a bike and started. remarked Holland. One way or another, people reacted to the sport. The tricks we do are so advanced. peoples' brains fall out when they see them. I'm 18-years-old and people think I'm too old and must have better things to do. But, it's what I enjoy. joked Holland. Freestyling wasn't a soft sport. You have to wear a helmet, pants, and a long-sleeved shirt because you get rocked around pretty bad. We've experienced cuts, bruises, sprains, and fractures. You name it, we've had it, Ratajek said.

Jeanne Casey and Jennifer Hoeft created a bill to make organized prayer in public school illegal. It was passed in the preliminary committee but not brought up on the House floor. Way, who had been involved in the program for five years, held the highest office — the governor. He said of his office, I have a different perspective from the previous four years. I can get a lot more accomplished and meet a lot of people. Students made good use of their role playing opportunities. Carolyn Hawkins appreciated the chance to make government choices herself.

Jeanne Mitlying, Martina Priadka, Suzanne Rausch and Susan Reyes decided they wanted to finish their last year of high school a semester ahead of the other seniors. ' There were many factors that influenced the decisions of these students to graduate early. The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Act played a big part in Priadka’s and Rausch's decision. These students thought that it sounded ex- citing and it was a chance to do something different from the other seniors. Rausch stated. Being at college will help me to become more independent. She planned to attend St. Cloud State University for the spring quarter. Cosmetology school was one of the things included in Reyes' plans. Mitlyng's plans included working two jobs to save money to do some traveling out West and also for college in the fall. The early grads thought there were many advantages to their plans. Getting a head start” in life was one of these benefits.

All in a Day's Work Putting rat poison in someone's coffee, as in the movie 9 to 5. was more drastic than what some of the working juniors had done, but sometimes it was close. Juniors frequently had funny or embarrassing stories to tell. Julie Goldman, who worked at the Park Plaza Health Care Center cleaning dishes, told about the unexpected object she found on one of the dinner trays. One time when I was working, a tray came down the conveyor belt and on it were someone’s dentures. After a lot of laughter, we searched for the toothless patient and gave them back to him. An employee at Snyder Brothers, who preferred to be anonymous, made a small mistake with some packages that were to be delivered. I was supposed to put $12 worth of stamps on three different packages for a customer. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing until another employee told me that I had put all of the 26 stamps on one package. It took a while but I eventually got all of them off. Another funny experience happened to Adam Wasserman when he was working at Orange Julius. A man with a foreign accent and thumbtacks in his ear lobes came up to the counter and wanted to ask for a large pina colada, but by mistake the man asked for a part of a man's anatomy. I started laughing so hard that I couldn’t get him what he ordered, and I had to ask someone else to go wait on him.” Juniors did take their jobs seriously because they meant money.

Why did the Explorers join the organization? I had an interest in law enforcement and wanted to find out what Exploring was all about.” stated Ross Bagwell. I was interested in police work, so I went to a meeting and have been in it ever since, said DuWayne Dixon. Explorer President. During a normal weekly meeting at City Hall, the Explorers attended a business meeting where they went over what was coming up in the week. The rest of the two hours was devoted to training — specifically felony stops (where Explorers role-play different situations and try to act according to police rules and regulations). Aside from the weekly meetings, the Explorers got the chance to participate in such police-related activitiees as gunshooting competitions, riding in squad cars on patrol, and going to Washington D.C. to experience the F.B.I. Academy. The organization s atmosphere was not too formal, and somewhat easygoing. We have friends there, and it gives someone with interests like mine something to do. said Bagwell. However, being an Explorer had its drawbacks — peer pressure. Students think we're against them. They think we're something like school narcotics officers, but we really aren't because we don't have the authority. said Bagwell. According to Dixon. Explorers would be a good start for someone who thinks he or she might want to become a police officer. It is very informative and an intersting start for a career in police work. Juniors: 63 A How to Guide Rule 1: Brown Nosing While the freshmen and sophomores were just beginning and the seniors had given up all hope, the class of ’87 had conquered the special technique that made teachers like them. In fact, they excelled in this talent. “It’s all a mind game,” explained David Pecoraro. He and several other juniors agreed that being friendly and joking with the teachers were of utmost importance in mastering this skill. Above all, a plesant smile would melt most teachers’ hearts. And if none of these tricks worked, some tried Jason Thalberg’s method, ‘‘I tell them I like what they wear.” Compliments got them everywhere. After many hours of practice, juniors had brown nosing down to a fine art Rule 2: Flirting All the juniors knew them. They came as male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, but all were called the “flirts.” While sophomores were just learning and seniors were becoming vulgar, the juniors had a more relaxed method. An arm around a shoulder, a pat on the back or simply talking shyly always proved to be good tactics. Many juniors believed in the sweet talk approach. But no one took it seriously, at least not many. They looked at it as practice for the future. Flirting was commonplace to juniors. It was one of the few things that they completely understood. ] David Pecoraro use hia accomplished skills grade that Mr. Linne is about to give him, in at brown nosing to try and influence the his General Writing class. !

Though most juniors went to classes, there were those who just could not sit through one more hour. What was the most common reason? I had a test that I wasn’t prepared for, said Lisa Colford. One junior said, “I just felt like listening to some tunes, while others agreed that hunger took over and it was time to get something to eat.

Rule 4: Relaxing This was what every junior looked forward to: the time when the clock read 2:20. The last class had finally ended and it was time to relax. Because they weren’t as wild as freshmen, and they hadn’t yet reached “Senior Slump,” juniors found many different ways of spending their free time. A favorite was listening to music or watching T.V. One junior even confessed to playing with his Transformer Set. “I just can’t help it,” he said. Going out to eat and renting movies were other ways the juniors spent their time. Sara Bearmon summed it up with, “We like to eat, drink and be merry.” And really, what more was there?

Several of those students took the extra step in getting involved early. Dave Rutledge was a volunteer nurse's aide at Methodist Hospital.

I really enjoyed working with the people and getting experience at a hospital.” said Rutledge.

During interesting activities. these students developed many special friendships. USY (United Synagogue Youth) was a group based on religion. For example, on December 14. at The Temple of Aaron in St. Paul, there was a Hanukkah dance where members of USY from around the Twin Cities met. exchanged gifts and danced to a live band. Steve Burstein said USY gave me a place to see my friends from other schools. Job's Daughters gave Laurie Sumner a taste of what her mother and aunt had experienced when they were younger. Membership in Job’s daughters depended on having a Freemason in her family. A Freemason was a member of a group who gave help to the needy. Sumner's group continued the tradition by making cards to take to people in hospitals. Habonim-Dror (Freedom Builders) was a socialist Zionist youth movement that Yapha Nussbaum belong to. Nussbaum said. I became a member because I wasn't satisfied with more popular Jewish youth organizations. The group's activities were centered around Israel. They did such things as Israeli dancing at the Twin Cities' Israeli Dance Fest. TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) was a weekend retreat held in the fall and in the spring through the Episcopal Church where participants spiritually grew. It was one big hug. stated Dot Schoen.

Tim Plantikow was in the middle of another strenuous workout. This bike racer had worked hard at his sport and had big aspirations for his future. Plantikow was a member of the Minneapolis Bicycle Racing Club and sponsored by Flanders Bicycle Shop. He raced in about 50 races throughout the year, placing inthe top 5 in 15-20 of them, which was good for his division. Plantikow enjoyed the competition. He said. “I've become sort of addicted. I get a kick out of competing. For each of the three years he raced. Plantikow had been to the National Championships, from San Diego to New Hampshire. Travelling helped him meet many people. Plantikow's dedication to biking meant sacrificing some things to prepare for his sport. But. this was hoe he saw it: It becomes so much a part of your life, the training, going to bed early and everything else with it. you sometimes don't realize what you're missing. Plantikow had many goals for the future. He wanted to race in more state and national races. He wanted to try for a spot on the United States 1988 Olympic cycling team, a spot granted only after many trial races. Ultimately, he wanted to race in the World Championships and in the most famous bike race of all. the Tour-de-France. Summing up his sport. Plantikow said. It's not a really well known or well understood sport in this country. In terms of the world though, it’s a huge spectator sport. You really have to see a race to get the atmosphere.

Overcoming their fears, the class of 88 ventured out into the real world. As a way to examine adult life, many decided to explore the job market. The jobs these first time employees found had great diversity and ranged from fast food restaurants to department stores to even a rental agency. Karen Slater was one of the students who was prepared to encounter employment. She worked for B R Services which was a home furnishing rental agency. She said she chose this business because her parents own the company but also added. Because I didn't have transportation my choices were limited. John Kisch and Emily Morgan both had the opportunity to be involved in the printing industry by working in the high school's print shop. Morgan commented. It's a good opportunity to get exper- ience working in a print shop because it gives me an example of what the printing business is like. Besides having a great variety of choices of employment, students also had an assortment of reasons for wanting jobs. Needing money was a very common reason. Another was that most didn't have transportation because they were not old enough to drive so the jobs close to home were ideal. Working at Bishop's Buffet provided Sophie Kirk with the money she needed for teenage necessities and also a chance to get out of the house and make many new friends at work. So, while many students stayed home after school, many members of the class of '88 were out working and proving to themselves and to their parents that they were growing up and ready to face the adult world. i Working after school in the print shop.

Older, Better, Wiser It was our sophomore year and. surprise, we grew up. We gained more freedom and developed closer relationships with each other. We successfully made the transition from uncertain freshmen to mature sophomores. With the absence of freshman pressures, high school life and relationships became easier. Adam Twite felt, Since we were accustomed to the high school routine, we were more comfortable talking to each other and everybody else. Our attitudes towards our classmates changed, we became more important to each other. We were less competitive for attention from upperclassmen and our teachers, and we all tried to get along. Gpperclassmen treated us differently. We were no longer on trial but accepted. This resulted in a more confident and mature class of 88. We didn't worry about what our peers would think, and we didn't do crazy things just to get attention. Because we were treated with more respect, we became more grown up and independent, commented Kaori Kenmotsu. Our parents also reacted differently towards us. They extended our curfews and lightened up on our restrictions. As a freshman. I had a curfew of about 10:30 whereas becoming a sophomore, it was lengthened to midnight.” stated Leslie Kiheri. Our parents trusted us and allowed us to do more: partly because we could drive and were able to get ourselves where we needed to be. Realizing we were responsible enough to handle things ourselves, they ceased checking up all the time to make us clean our rooms, be home on time and do our homework. With all the changes, life as a sophomore proved to be an exciting growing experience.

These girls kept very busy schedules by attending TCP three nights a week. Each practice session lasted two hours and was divided into two sections. Before getting into the pool the girls stretched their legs, backs and arms for better flexibility. Their workouts continued with several conditioning exercises meant to build strength and endurance. The main portion of their time was spent perfecting the techniques needed for doing the six figures re- quired in competition. After acquiring the basic skills, the girls worked on solos, duets and trios. TCP developed the swimmers mentally and physically. Haider noted that TCP helps to build confidence. while Ward stated.

This statement held true as sophomores elected to spend much of their free time in the privacy and seclusion of their bedrooms. To some it was just a place to sleep or drop their books, but to others it was much more. It was a reflection of their personalities. One look at Keith Carpenter's room and it was obvious that he was a big basketball fan. Five years worth of Sports Illustrated clippings covered the walls, showing off his favorite players. It took me a long time to collect all the pictures, but the end result made it all worthwhile. said Carpenter. Lorna Goldstrand also had a unique room. A floor to ceiling bulletin board covered one whole wall. The bulletin board was filled with an assortment of pictures and souvenirs. Goldstrand stated, Every time I collect anything, I tack it up on the board. A huge doll collection also occupied her room. It contained dolls from all around the world. With 50 dolls staring you in the face, you rarely feel lonely. Beds were, of course, found in most bedrooms, but one was a bit more eccentric than others. Margie Landis boasted a 120-year-old antique spool bed made of oak wood. Other rooms had more primitive sleeping apparatus such as a simple mattress on the floor. But most sophomores took pride in the way their rooms were kept since that was where a good portion of their lives were spent. (Or maybe their parents had something to do with it.) i How can you not be happy when you have friends like these?

Uniqueness was the key word of many students to describe the class of 1989. The last graduating class of the 80's did have many unique features. One special feature was the many outstanding athletes that participated in varsity sports. As one student commented, Our grade shone with athletes. Dia Wynn felt that the athletes were greatly varied in height and weight, but when they were together their differences faded. Cathy Hill and Gretchen Sellnow earned varsity letters in gymnastics and Joy Aarsvold also did in girls' soccer. This was noteworthy because, to be returning letter winners, they had to have lettered in eighth grade. The class of '89 was not ashamed to be freshmen and went to extremes to prove it. They were usually well represented at pep fests, athletic events and other activities such as Sno-Daze events. It wasn't unusual to find them performing at the events either. Tanya Hollie, Kristi Collier and Naomi Badhwa lip-synched to Wild and Crazy Love by the Mary Jane Girts at the Varsity Show. As Scott Johnson said. Our attendance at school stuff shows (we have) class. Music was also a special feature. Scott Paulin was the only bassoon player in the high school and the only freshman playing in the Concert Band. More freshmen were represented in the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies than any other grade. The four that participated in this program for exceptional high school musicians were Paulin, violinist Kevan Kosobay-ashi, string player Jim Mashek and trumpet player Jason Wells.

To fans of the role-playing game. Dungeons and Dragons, these words brought to mind exciting times of creating imaginary characters. Many people enjoyed Dungeons and Dragons, including some of Park's freshmen. Brad Armstrong played because It gets me thinking and it takes a lot of imagination.” To play the game, a participant rolled dice to find such qualities as the strengths of the character. Then he would pretend to be the character. Jared Sumner, who had been playing the game for four years, said. I like trying to program my mind to do what my character would do. Each character was different. Armstrong’s Gloin the Avenger was a dwarf. Steve White’s character was called Amblin'1, the very strong and smart owner of a kingdom. White had been playing Amblin for four years. A large part of the game was devoted to killing evil monsters. If people questioned this idea. Jason Booth had an answer. He commented that it was a way to forget about problems for a while and Take out anger on imaginary things. suggested by Mark Hilgers. Hilgers liked Dungeons and Dragons because You get to do something you’ve never done before, things like searching for magical items to aid characters or combatting evil monsters. All who played seemed to have a good time. Bruce Stone summed up the game by saying, It’s kind of like a story and you are a character. But you control what you do.” 92: Freshmen I Brad Armstrong.

Sarah Hustad finally finds her classroom and breathe a sigh of relief T'u'fls f ir night before school started and all through Sri Louis Park not a freshman was sleeping, although it was dark. Terrifying thoughts went through the fresnmen the night before school started. Trevor Wannebo was one of the many who feared the upcoming first day of school. “I imagined that there were gangs in school and that they were going to beat me up. 1 also thought that I would be taped to a pole on the very first day. When Wannebo got to school he found out there were no gangs and no one was going to tape him (at least not on the first day.) Another freshman who wasn't too thrilled about the thought of school was Bonni Prauer. I was afraid that 1 was eoing to be looked down upon or be made fun of, but 1 soon found out that you just do your own thing and no one will bother you. Sarah Hustad wasn't afraid of other people but of what she might do to herself. I was scared that I would never find my way around or would accidentally walk into the wrong classroom. Even though I did end up doing both of ‘ ese things, it wasn't as awful as I imagined it to be. Although there were many different visions of school, a mutual feeline was that things were not as bad as their imaginations had created. And we heard them exclaim as spring came in sight, the end of the year is a freshman's delight. f Sarah Batkin gets prepared well in advance for years away for herself and other eager freshmen, the future.

To seniors it was just a year somewhere in the near future. To freshmen, it would be the end of the long haul, the year of their graduation. When asked about what they thought of graduating, some said that the time to graduate would never come, it seemed so far away. But when asked if they could try to visualize some styles and trends for the future, some ingenious freshman came up with ideas that could perhaps shed a new light on the matter. One of the things that will definitely change is fashion. Freshman Heather Dale thought the look was going to revert back to bell bottoms, cowlneck sweaters and clogs. Meanwhile Molly Flannigan had a different view on the subject. She thought that it would be a free-for-all, with everybody dressing as wild and crazy as the school allowed. The true self in everybody will come out, theorized Flannigan. On the more realistic side, some thought that the changes would be a little less radical. Missy Smithers thought that the schools would be closed campus and that the punishment for cutting classes would be more severe. Smithers also commented that she thought public schools would start to dwindle. while private schools would rise to new heights. Now what about the class of ’89? Many commented that they would excel in sports. Others thought their class would exceed in the arts, music, dance and drama. There was one thing though on which everyone agreed — fewer cliques and more closeness among their peers, with everyone really pulling together. As one freshman said, after four years. I think we all will have grown up. ! Confused, bewildered, and feeling a little bit trapped. Noel Casey pauses for a moment as he tries to figure out the clue to escaping from the always-puzzling, never-ending circle. Freshmen: 97 • e 6 K6K • 'pnetfi, Dancing to the Music Freshman Parkettes? Yes, the Parkettes added nine freshmen in the fall of ’85. a first for the danceline. A larger danceline was one of the reasons behind the decision to allow freshmen into Parkettes. Other explanations for the addition of freshmen were fresh faces for the Parkettes’ new image and a larger age group which generated more interest. “They are attentive, care about it a lot and want to learn, commented Jackie Breen, senior. Upperclassmen also mentioned that the freshmen worked hard and thus made a great new addition to the danceline. Being involved in cheerleading or Parkettes was a decision that many freshman Parkettes had to face last spring. Jennie Dols, freshman, chose Parkettes over cheerleading because It is different in style and has more varie- ty, and Anna Olson, freshman, added There is more to do and so many different routines. Practice started for the freshmen this past summer, but soon ceased for Olson. Olson broke her ankle on a trampoline. She spent six weeks in a cast and could not participate in practice for ten weeks. Although she was disabled, Olson was present at practice throughout the summer. With an extra practice each week the freshmen and sophomores were able to keep up with the juniors and seniors. During the extra practices the freshmen worked on specific freshman dances and also on dances the upperclassmen already knew. This year was a trend-setting year for the freshman Parkettes. Dols said, I am glad I chose Parkettes, and added “I feel special. I With practice not until 4 o’clock, the girls have an abundance of time to spare.

It seemed that to most freshmen fashion was important. Freshmen, like people everywhere, felt that they needed the right clothes to feel accepted into this new and different world called senior high. Many freshmen said that they bought clothes with good quality. They also agreed that they bought clothes that looked good on them. Style and fit, according to Schaefer, were very important when she bought clothes. Some freshmen thought of themselves as being more original in what they chose to wear. A lot of people wear sweatshirts and jeans; I wear skirts and dress up more. stated Kathy Kloster. Chris Richmond also thought of himself as more original. A lot of people wear what everyone else is wearing. I like to be myself! Sometimes I like buying clothes from Ragstock. Both original and trendy clothes composed some freshman wardrobes. Jenny Rempfer stated that she considered her wardrobe half original and half trendy. There were various classifications of freshman style. Most described their style as casual. Richmond classified his style as not normal, stick to the basics. Kloster described her style as fashionable.” Concluded Kloster.

In chess there are no fixed moves or strategies. commented Slatter. If you move, you’ve got to have a reason. So players, through practices and weekly games, helped each other to learn and develop their skills. Dan Shedlov, Advisor, added his expertise too. and according to member Jennie Coleman, sophomore, was a friend as well as instructor. Competition, too, was available if players wanted it. The Metro Area Chess League offered opportunities for players to test new-found skills. The state tournament in the spring was the ultimate goal of the competitive members. But. tournaments or not. players came weekly to enjoy the game and to improve. They came to stretch their thinking, and, most importantly, to have fun. Ches� Club: 111 Suspense Heightens as Crowning Moment Arrives Who do you think is going to be king? and Who are you going to vote for queen? These questions ran through many seniors' minds and entered their conversations. The day to select candidates arrived. As the seniors contemplated who to choose, the tension had mounted. Dana Gurewitz, senior, felt that Picking was really hard because there were so many I wanted to vote for. Yet I could only pick ten. Then there was the wait to see who the candidates were as well as who was on the court. October 7 marked the big event. The crowd gathered, feeling jittery, ready to watch the crowning. But as anxious as the crowd was to see who would win, the candidates were even more nervous. Finally the ceremony began. The Lords and Ladies and King and Queen candidates walked down the aisle, full of apprehension. The mystery of who would win raced through each mind. The former king and queen, Chris Parrington and Sarah Gnger, were ready to reveal the new king and queen. Within minutes, Amy Davidson was crowned the new queen and Parrish Curry was crowned St. Louis Park's first black king. Curry had stated that “I'm proud to be your first Black king. It's nice to know that we can all get along. Though the crowd went home, the night had barely begun for the people who participated in the coronation ceremony. They still had dinner awaiting them at the Tozai Room at the Radisson where they continued their celebration. Coronation proved to be a time of smiles and activity. It was a highlight of the year and was memorable for those who voted, and those who took part. I'm proud to be your first black king.

Throughout the season there were six hours of practice a week. They held three car washes to raise funds for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. At the beginning of the school year they started planning all the pep fests, and practices were held weekly. When Homecoming rolled around, they sold pom-pons, also to raise money for the cheerleader-organized Sadie. The balloons that were at the Homecoming game were purchased with money from their funds, and cheerleaders spent time the evening before blowing them all up. During the game season for each squad, they were involved with secret pals. For each player on the team there was a cheerleader who made them banners and cheery surprises. There were informal plans made at the last minute to decorate the locker rooms. Sometimes there were games every night of the week. I don't think people realize how much work goes into getting people pepped up at a game,” stated Basketball Squad Captain, Megan Hunt, junior. Because of dedication to cheering. Hunt believed that cheerleading took up more time than any other activity in her schedule. Lisa Brill, adviser, emphasized the importance of responsibility. Brill had a demerit system; with eight points a cheerleader would not earn a letter, with ten he or she was kicked off the team. Mike Hughes, junior, stated.

This precision sport demands top physical condition and requires more skill and concentration than thought by most. Yes. it is fencing, the oldest martial art in the world. With competition almost every weekend, the fencing team’s three practices per week were a must. These meets led up to their two major competitions, the Midwest High School Championships, held in Chicago, and the Junior Olympics, held in St. Paul. Although during the team's two major competitions there were no outstanding performances, the fencers were able to improve on their own personal skill. The smaller team size enabled Leon Storm, coach, to give more individualized attention which is needed in such a precise sport. according to Michelle Erickson, junior. Erickson also felt that what makes fencing such a unique sport is that it “is not what you first expect, it takes more strategy and skill than most think.” I During the team's three weekly practices, no time is Enebo. assists Michelle Erickson at practice before wasted.

One popular additiona was the WLOL Sound and Light Show. Students felt that this encouraged more dancing. Ann Fix. senior, felt that “Sadie was much better because the Sound and Light Show played a variety of music as opposed to one single band who plays basically the same kind of music. Realistic looking black bars instead of ribbons for the jail gave the prisoners a more authentic feeling. Another point of interest was the possibility of winning T-shirts, albums and tickets to various events for having the best garter, the best kiss and the best-looking overalls. An aspect which made Sadie Hawkins appear genuine was the General Store. This little shop was meant to be like a store in the country which sold different kinds of candies for the low prices that they had in the old days. The cafeteria. dec-ora ted with hay, pumpkins, checkered tablecloths, streamers, and hearts on the wall, was a country-like, romantic setting. Elizabeth Pascoe, junior, stated The decorations as well as the lights turned on low made it really special.” Even though there were many new ideas put into Sadie, many old traditions were still intact. Getting married still took place and pictures were taken to capture the memories of this special event. All the new ideas put into the dance contributed to the Sadie Hawkins success. According to Sara Hustad, freshman, It was just fun being around all my friends. I had a really good time.

Members were in agreement that they were glad to have Chlebecek as their conductor.

These were the qualities making up the Freshman and Concert bands. The Freshman band members were much better prepared than the previous two classes.

Lance Strickland, director, stated. We have six exceptionally good clarinet players that add to our strength.” Hans Steege, freshman, felt. “When we play music we get it down so it sounds really good. I feel like we have accomplished goals as a class. There were 80 students in the group. 50 of whom Strickland hoped to recruit into the Concert Band. Strickland stated. I carefully choose music to match their abilities and talents. The music also gave them the opportunity to challenge their potential. The Concert band members were highly motivated. Strickland stated that this was aided by support from faculty, administration. teachers and parents.” Strickland was most impressed by his senior members. He felt that they had a natural leadership with strong musicianship which gave a positive effect to the entire group. Because of a very busy schedule, members had to learn their music quickly.

We have the opportunity in this class to sing country, classical, pop and many other styles of music, said Nikki Trump, junior. For holidays they sang Christmas songs. Hanuk-kah tunes. Valentine's day melodies and pumpkin carols for Halloween. During class they took the different songs and experimented with many types of arrangements. Members of the class had many chances to try singing in a variety of small ensembles. Sometimes they sang duets, quartets and trios. With all of their in-class preparation. they joined the orchestra for the winter concert and performed Handel s Messiah and a vocal arrangement of the nutcracker Suite. They also sang selections from Gloria and t h e Creation. Although performing at concerts was an important part of chorus, it was a class for enjoyment. Trump stated that it was important to be involved in a class for fun. I take it for my mental health. exclaimed Trump. Elena Sanchez, senior, said. I don't take it too seriously; it’s for fun. But sometimes chorus wasn't enough for the ambitious student. Those really interested in singing had a chance to show off their talents at a contest in the spring.

Headed by Dave Miller, advisor, the group was given the opportunity to coordinate their own fun. Deciding where and when to ski. the members were able to play an active role in the club. Ski club was able to organize outings for five different ski trips. Several meetings had to be held to decide scheduling. Many felt Miller proved to be quite helpful working around various problems. He takes a lot into consideration such as work schedules and personal conflicts so that everyone has a chance to be able to go. said Joan Motzko, senior. Having many ski areas to choose from, such as Afton Alps and Buck Hill, gave these skiers an extra ad-vantage. Both places have a lot of runs and helped to improve on skiing abilities as the days went on. stated Matt Jones, junior. Many chose ski club over being active in the sport on their own. With skiing being an expensive sport, ski club provided an inexpensive way to improve on techniques and skills. According to Keriller, freshman, The places were excellent ski areas and besides loving to ski. it's great exercise and fun at the same time.

The Parkettes made a whole new image for themselves, but not without a lot of hard work. It took some real effort from the older girls because of the change in directors and the newly-allowed freshman Parkettes. This change led to harder practices and more time spent on the basics, due to the increased number of first-year Parkettes. This was a year of change. The girls worked on some very different forms of dance in quest for improving their skills and performances. From aerobics to jazz, they really made people notice the change. Student comments supported this by saying that the Parkettes were much more polished and professional. With an abundance of enthusiasm and energy, despite the fact that she was also pregnant, Passolt pressed her girls to do thteir very best. That meant practicing twice a week for two hours at a time. A third practice was also held for the freshmen and sophomores to learn the new steps. Passolt stressed the fact that school work came first for the girls and that warnings would be given out if the rules were broken. But Beth Hedman. junior, did not seem to mind the strictness, saying, She is more than just another director, she is a friend who really cares about us!

Minnesota Office Education Association (MOEA) members worked in office skills such as taking dictations and typing. Due to the lack of a coordinator, VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) wasn't of- fered this year.

According to Lance Strickland, director, improvisation was their house specialty. Members learned to add another dimension to their music. They developed their personal twists, touches and variations. Because until this year there had been two Jazz Labs, for beginners and for advanced students, the new combined class created some problems in the fall. but. according to Strickland they worked themselves out. As a result, even beginning students like Rick Dack. Junior, felt that it was not just for people who had been playing for awhile. But, he cautioned. it was really meant for fast learners. So once again the group was able to take a tune and go with it. cooking up its own unique, audience pleasing dishes.

These plays were more than just entertainment. JB taught a lesson about suffering and keeping faith in God. while Godspelis lesson was to love and treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated. JB was a modern day version of the Old Testament story of the sufferings of Job. A man. JB. loses his wife, his family and his home, but he still keeps his faith in God.

The significance of JB is how God can give and take something away so easily. The alternate production. Godspell, is a contemporary musical that tells the story of Jesus' struggle to teach a slough of scrap yard clowns the importance of sharing and caring for one another. Said Penny Grochow, junior, Godspell is about the life and teachings of Jesus. JB as well as Godspell were presented by the members of the company. Rehearsals were scheduled back to back. For the cast members who were in both productions, practices could last up to six hours a day. The members of the winter repertory showed their hours of hard work and preparation by putting together two very successful productions that were more than just entertaiment. The significance of JB is how God can give and take something away so easily. — Julie Hursh 1 The message that Godspell sends out is clearly not just to their production.

Sno-Daze lasted a week and everyday one was sure to see people dressed in anything but the basic sweatshirts and jeans. There was slob day. when people wore their best and brightest rags to school. Nerd day gave everyone the chance to express the true side of themselves. Battery operated spinning bowties. plaid pants and pocket calculators galore were seen throughout the school. Dress-up day brought people to school in skirts, suits and even authentic formal wear. If Parkites never thought they'd see people wear their sheets to school, well then Toga Day would not be forgotten. Despite the extreme cold, one was sure to see striped sheets, leopard sheets and other wild Roman wear. But last and probably most successful was summer day. Students really took advantage of the pseudo warm weather. In swimsuits and patterned shorts, some even wore sunscreen on their noses. Sandy Koehler, sophomore, remarked. Summer day was the best because so many people participated.” The week concluded with a pep fest. which gave the students a chance to show more spirit and to cheer their boys' basketball team, who played against Edina, on to victory. Friday night their spirit seemed to prove successful for the team won and left everyone in a good mood to go to the Sno-Daze dance which followed. Dick Tracy, the band that played, was a big hit with the students. As the week wound down Sno-Daze was a success. As Dan Israel, sophomore, said.

In intramurals, there were no coaches calling the plays. It was up to the students to plan their attack. Michael Wright, senior, felt especially proud of his basketball team.

They put out 15 issues, one coming out about every two weeks. Not only were the issues frequent but filled with extras. There was a pictorial on homecoming and in-depth reports on controversial subjects. such as AIDS and teen-age suicide, not to mention news, sports, features and editorials. Other than the obvious benefits of Echo, such as writing experience, the staff felt that they received more from the paper. Echo is like one big family.

The battle really began last school year when the team attended a workshop at Eden Prairie High School along with the staffs of many other high school yearbooks. There they learned just some of the fundamentals and rules that would guide them through the game. Soon sweatshirts were delivered to the team members and the selling of yearbooks was in progress. One by one story ideas were chosen, rough draft layouts were approved, triplicates were completed, pictures were taken and cropped, stories were typed and retyped and deadlines were met. Sharon Warner, the leader of the pack, advised her team to do their best and come out on top. Following this game plan, each member finished spread assignments and rechecked proofs. Carolyn Charles, head coach for the video yearbook said her game plan was to feature more footage on school happenings and less on sports. At last the yearbook, spring supplement and video yearbook were completed and all of the Echowaners felt a feeling of accomplishment.

Besides being a place to let the imagination flow, art class was a situation where students could be their own bosses.

These performances consisted of those by the Park Singers, Chorus, Concert Band. Pep Band. Jazz Lab, Jazztet, Orchestra and Freshman Band. This was a lot of responsibility.

These were two of t h e questions that were asked of seniors in a new college level course called A.P. European History. This course was brought into existence by serious students. Many of these students had taken the A.P. American History course offered at Park and found that they wanted a more intense European History class. So they proposed their idea to Joel Anderson, counselor for gifted students, and Richard Wanio, principal. Then they brought the idea to the school board which passed the idea. Marjorie Bingham, who taught the course, felt that the legislation was good because it responded to student needs. In A.P. European History, the students studied Western European history from the period of the High Renaissance to present time. In order to enhance learning, they often role played and held group discussions. Although A.P. European History was a college level course like A.P. American History, t h e students were not required to write research papers, because the school libraries didn’t have the materials. Bingham hoped that future students would be able to do research after the school had built up its collection of appropriate books. When Elena Sanchez, senior, heard about the class on morning announcements, she knew that it was the course for her. It’s really fun, exclaimed Sanchez. She was extremely interested in Europe and this turned out to be one of the best courses in high school. With fifteen people enrolled in the class, A.P. European History was off to a wonderful start. Missy Fox, senior, stated, I'm really glad that they started this course because I knew little about European History, which is just as important as American History.

Nov. 4th: The assignment of the project and library research. Each team of students had to design a foot operated musical instrument and play the first line of the Park Loyalty Song. The Restrictions: no electricity and no liquid allowed in the instrument and it was to be painted orange and black. Extra Credit: sing along with the instrument, wear Oriole costume and play the whole song. It was an engineering, practical experience to carry out the assignment, Ringsrud said. The project also boosted school spirit. Nov. 8th: Preliminary sketch due along with name of the instrument. Dec. 16th: Final diagram of instrument with basic instructions due.

What new technological breakthroughs enhanced learning for the hearing impared? These were questions answered by Kath-e r i n e Carruth, hearing impaired director.

One of these was the new inventive software that dealt with increasing the students vocabularies. Since the hearine impaired were not completely deal, they could learn these new words, ana use them to the best of their abilities. Also new, was the use of decoders on many television programs. These decoders were simply words printed on the bottom of a T.V. screen that repeated everything the person on T.V. was saying. Decoders proved beneficial because there was no need for an interpreter. As Jason Smith, freshman, stated, 1 like the decoders; they really help me a lot and they are very easy to understand. Prob-a b 1 y one of t h e most practical advances was the invention of the TDD (or telecommunications devices for the deaf)- It was basically a typewriter with a telephone built into it. All the user dia was pick the phone up, dial the number and then type the message. The message was then transferred to the place dialed. The new technologies of the hearing impaired opened up many new and exciting opportunities for the students participating.

Because learning and understanding material quickly was difficult for them, the special ed. students were helped individually. They spent anywhere from one to four hours receiving special help. The students concentrated on a variety of skills. Techniques such as visual aids, concrete materials, and small group instruction were used as ways of teaching. The newest addition to the special education program was the use of more computers. Since many students were dependent upon outside help, the class focused on what was called survival skills. These taught the students about planning their lives and being independent. It's a constant struggle for these students. Some like the help and some resent it. but most of the students are thankful for it afterwards, stated Ricki Roberts. And as the struggle eased, these students realized there were many more challenges ahead of them. ) During hit classroom time.

Many students, perhaps the majority, took it because they did not care to spend six hours in school. Others opted for the work program to make extra money. Still others took it to get some experience in their future career. Work experience consisted of two credits. One credit for the classroom activities and one for the job. In the classroom, students learned about the aspects of employment. These included things such as applications, interviews, promotions and relating with other co-workers. Students were also taught about health and job safety. Along with classroom assignments, the students were required to work a minimum of 15 hours a week. This type of program allows students to get that extra jump into the job world, commented Arthur Lindgren.

Work Progrom: 181 • • 0J%ctf6e PUitic Extracurriculars + Classes = Interest The math department broadened its scope of classes to get more students involved. Classes were added and extra-curricu-I a r activities were developed to create a greater interest among the students. The courses added were slower paced so that students who had trouble in math could still take classes without worrying too much about falling behind. One such class was a four semester algebra course, taken over two years. Another class added was Informal Geometry which bypassed proofs in order for students to get the basic concepts of geometry. The result was seen by more students taking math this year than last year even though there was a lower school enrollment. The math department also had a lot of computers in its growing computer area. Three basic courses were offered to start students in computers. For those avid computed users, an extracurricular computer team was available. The team hoped to equal last year's team that went to National Finals in Detroit, Michigan for computer competition. A greater emphasis was put on creative problem solving and the strength of the math department in this area could be seen in National Math Contest and AT-PAC (Atlantic-Pacific) tests. Park students repeatedly did well on these tests. The AT-PACs were a series of tests with six creative problems to solve and the National Math Contest was a standard test given to the top half of high school students taking math. This success was attributed to a large group of intelligent students and a good teaching faculty. Scott Paulin, freshman, stated on the quality of teaching at Park High. “The math teachers here are just as good as the ones at the University of Minnesota's Talented Youth Math Program.

Paraprofessionals were originally trained professionals with teaching degrees who filled in as immediate substitutes when teachers were absent. besides being aides to the different departments. As time progressed their jobs were modified. The paraprofessional was no longer required to hold a teaching degree, and the responsibilities broadened. They became not only aides for the departments, but for the individual teachers themselves. They were tutors, typists, computer programmers, audio visual technicians and librarians. Only one of the people prepared for this specific job: the others got into it in a roundabout manner. Joyce Tibbs explained the way in which she got her job by saying, When opportunities arise and you feel confident — go ahead and try it! This fairly summed up the others' thoughts on how they become the paraprofessionals that they were. — Jerry Ackley and Bob Kaplan graciously accept some much needed help from Ann Skrade during their computer literacy class.

In fact, it may have been a key to their success. Last year we won one and lost seven; this year we won eight meets, senior. Having a smaller team seemed to help individual performers, too. Robyn Wohler, coach, felt that it was quality versus quantity” and having a smaller group meant it was easier to give each individual more attention.” The team won all but one regular season meet which psyched them up for the regionals. One especially satisfying moment for Kathy Hill, sophomore, came with the win over Jefferson. We were close in the standings all season. she com mented. To be second in the conference we had to beat them. We did it only by a couple of points, but we did it! Because they placed fourth in the region semi-finals, there were some disappointments. As Stacy Rausch, junior, said. We had worked so hard all season long. It was tough to have a couple of little mistakes ruin our chance to show how much we had improved. However, five girls advanced to finals in individual events. It was a very satisfying season for a team that had started out small, and the girls proved that, indeed, good things do come in small packages. Our season was excellent! It was the best the team has had in several years. — Cathy Hill said Joan Gainsley. | Front Row: C. Hill. E Babula. M. Murtha. J. Schaefer. Wohler, coach; G. Sellnow, I. Hawkinson. C.

Charlie Simon, senior co-captain, missed all but six games due to knee surgery and Jon Lichterman missed almost the entire season with a fractured leg. Other players out for a considerable amount of time were Dave CJnze, senior co-captain, and Jim Solseth, senior, both plagued with separated shoulders, and Jeff Hartman, senior, with a broken rib. We only had two days all year when we had all 28 players healthy, remarked coach Bill Quinn. Although the hockey team had to endure many problems throughout the year, they stuck together well through it all. There was a good team attitude and we just had a lot of fun playing hockey. We didn't fight with each other and we didn't have any drug problems. explained Tim Lavold, senior. This was especially pleasing to Quinn, as discipline was not a problem all year. It was very unusual, because with all the team went through, we still kept a good spirit and stuck together well as a team. I am very pleased with their attitude, concluded Quinn.

We all had positive attitudes and were full of support for each other. explained Joan Motzko. senior captain, “The will to win was always there; we never gave up. As the year went on. the girls became closer and worked together to make themselves a stronger team. Though the team didn't win any meets, in one meet individual members scored victories. These wins were by Sally Gannon, sophomore, and Cindy Heitkamp. junior, who played doubles and Jessica Goldman, freshman, who played singles. Goldman earned the number 2 singles position on varsity. She felt that It was a fun year, and I hope next year will be more successful. Terry Peck, who was a new coach, enjoyed working with the girls. He felt that They each had such varied personalities, which helped them work well with each other. At the beginning of the season whenever someone would finish a match, she would leave. But as the year went on, everyone remained to watch and cheer their teammates. Goldman felt that This showed more team spirit and added support, which helped us work harder.” The girls put a lot of effort into trying to build a winning tennis program for St. Louis Park in the future. One thing they felt would help would be if they could stick with the same coach from year to year, one who knew their abilities. Peck stated that having so many different individuals who brought the team together, made the season enjoyable as well as interesting.” We all had positive attitudes and were full of support for each other.

Kent Bromenschenkel. senior, the team's defensive player of the year, also received All-Conference recognition for being in on 138 tackles. Unfortunately. Park's defense couldn't keep the team out of the doghouse. They took their hardest blow against Cooper. At halftime Park led 13-0, but when they failed to receive a kickoff. Cooper jumped on it deep in Oriole territory. Then the roof caved in,” said Head Coach Rollie Hanks. “It was a crashed, devastated feeling in the locker room after the game. The offense had some great moments and great players. Brian Rodkin. a senior rugby player from South Africa, was one of their extraordinary players. In his first year of football he missed only one field goal all season and virtually all of his kickoffs went into the end zone. Another outstanding offensive player. Mark Wolk. senior, led the conference by catching 20 passes for a total of 301 yards. At the year-end football banquet, many awards were given. Jon Fogel, senior, was given the coaches award; Mike Hilst, senior, was named the offensive blocker of the year; and Jason Thalberg, junior, received the special teams player award. To wrap up the entire year. Hanks spoke for all the players, when he said, We aimed for a star... and we fell short.

After a winless season in 1984, the girls' volleyball team battled back to be on the victorious side of five matches. Under Coach Bob Bowman, the team sharpened its skills and became competitive once again. Sara Spiegel, senior, was the only All-Conference player, but seniors Betsy Olson. Sharon Urness and Sherry Tyrer were also key members of the team. The quartet led the team to good outings, including an impressive performance against defending state champions Robbinsdale-Armstrong. One reason for a better on the court performance was that there was a close knit team off the court. Although the team did not have one outstanding player, there were many good ones. This proved helpful in the long run because the team did not have to depend on one player to perform well in order to win. The season's high points came in victories over Richfield and Bloomington Kennedy. The Richfield match was especially rewarding because it was the first regular season victory in two seasons for the team, and it was parents' night. The win over Kennedy in the playoffs avenged a regular season loss. stated Sara Spiegel, senior. The team looked to a better season next year with returning members like Laurie Bannick. junior. The 1985 girls' volleyball team, much improved over the previous year, had more fun and better team spirit. Winning was just part of an enjoyable season.

Many players agreed this was a major reason the boys' soccer team achieved more success than in past seasons. We had a lot of energy and desire on the field. commented T roy Freeman, senior. Phil Kenton, new head coach, insisted on aggressiveness. and his players responded with a hardnosed style of soccer. It was not unusual for the team to receive as many as five yellow cards per game, which are given to players to warn them against excessively rough play. Park did have an improved team, even though their record might not show it. Defense was their biggest strength, and it became visible agaist powerhouse Burnsville. Park allowed only five goals in two meetings with the Lake South champions, compared with 16 last year. The offense however, was not quite as successful, as Park was often shut out. We just did not have the driving force to score. explained John Martin, junior. A key reason Park could not compete with some of the teams they played was the small size of their squads. There were about 60 boys split among three teams, with varsity having only 14 players. Some of the stronger Lake South teams such as Kennedy and Burnsville had more than 100 boys trying out for soccer. But even with the odds against them, the team still kept a good attitude. This attitude, along with hard play, earned the respect of their opponents and fans. Josh Kent, senior summed up the team's disposition by saying.

St on eking • ' “Soa et A New Attitude: One Game, One Opponent at a Time Throughout the locker room and in the gymnasium, the girls' basketball team concentrated solely on victory. The girls acquired a new attitude and it was one that proved to be successful. They didn't set long term goals. Instead they decided to concentrate on each game and each opposing team separately. This way they knew what to expect from each team and they were prepared for it. With this attitude. we didn't take any team for granted and we had a better outlook for each game.” said Julie Kelly, junior. Though they knew they were good, the girls also realized that they would constantly have to push themselves to stay that way. Thus their concentration kept them level-headed. Even though it was an excellent plan, the girls' new attitude didn't always work as it was expected to. They defeated Richfield in their first meeting with a margin of forty points. This made them confident of a victory in their rematch but they were proven wrong. In the rematch, the Spartans came back with a one point victory over Park. The girls also suffered an upset from the Osseo Orioles in invitational tournament play. But their new, spirited attitude wouldn’t die and the losses they faced only made the girls more aware of their competition and more determined to defeat their next opponents. With their new outlook, the girls were not disappointed. They finished the regular season as Lake South Conference champions, ranking in the top ten in the state. It was an excellent season and would be remembered by all team members for years to come. Our attitude helped us to play better as a team thus we had a better season — Meg Stoneking 212: Girls' Basketball — Oblivious to the commotion around her.

The first three games were a breeze. But then Park played two veteran teams. Armstrong and Edina, and things took a turn for the worse. By winter break the team was winning again and they pulled up into the top twenty of the state. Certainly there was a special strength and motivation that put Park on top. Augie Schmidt, coach, believed mind was more important than body. He commented. They got what they really thought they were going to get. and they really thought they were going to win. The team didn't fear anybody. Jeff Stoneking, senior, thought that the practices made the difference. Practices were much more intense than in other schools, and everyone put in 100%. The highlight game of the regular season was played against Burnsville. Burnsville, ranked second, lost to the unranked Park by twenty points. Said Schmidt. It was the best game played since 1981. A key factor in the team's success was tradition. Park expected competition from past years to continue. Such pressure helped 6'6 freshman Dave Petersen strengthen his abilities. Petersen was the first freshman Schmidt could remember to be on the varsity team. Said Schmidt. We knew he was talented but we never expected him to be that good! On top of all the work, the team had a great time. Explained Schmidt, They had fun because they were willing to work hard and believe in themselves. We had the confidence to believe in ourselves and the dedication to win. — Jason Thai berg 1 Front Row: Managers: C. Jacobs. K. Roetzer. D. Thomas, J. Otto. Row 2: R. Jacobson. P. Curry. M Wolk. E.

Our story would not be complete without the important local, national and world events that affected each of us through the year. For as the year progressed, many of these events wakened us and forced us to face pressing issues straight on. From terrorism to heroism, disasters to achievements, oppression to freedom, hunger and poverty to abundance and wealth, they all instilled their individual and dramatic moments in each of our hearts. The grip on our values was tightened and we were made to reflect on our lives. Although history is said to have a way of repeating itself, we were determined to learn from our mistakes and make wiser decisions in the future. These events, no matter how others viewed them, shaped our book in a unique way. And accordingly, placed at the end of our book, these unforgettable images of struggle, turmoil and triumph were officially known as: The Footnotes of 1986... Hormel Strike Sane Lane A.I.D.S.
