Our World Of Trojan Pride Almost every year the enrollment of students in the Traverse City Senior High School increases and this year was no exception, as our school population reached 2242. The Trojan spirit seems to get stronger as each class reaches its senior year. This holds true with the class of 86. During the course of the year the students showed their pride in activities from sporting events to working in concession stands. Students have been involved in fund raisers, pep assemblies, parades, athletic events, and special programs that gave them a chance to express their enthusiasm. The 85- 86 Black Gold class started off the year by holding a fund raiser. Homecoming kicked off the fund raisers with students getting together on the campus to sing along while the marching band played “We Are The World.” The enthusiasm continued as the students gathered in the gym for the homecoming pep assembly. Cheerleaders, pom-pons, faculty, the marching band, athletes, and the rest of the student body made the gym roar with pride. Mr. Gerhardt and the Black Gold staff were able to raise about $275.00 which was contributed to the United Way Campaign. This was just one of the many ways the students showed their pride through the year. Not only did that pride last through high school, but even graduates seemed to carry that Trojan school spirit around with them. Go to a sporting event and look at the number of college students and parents who attend the games and cheer just as loud as the students. It s that faithful pride to the good ole Black and Gold. Students gathered around the bonfire to watch the burning of the dummy, signifying the hopes of a homecoming victory. Eleventh grade students dressed up in various outfits to give their Junior float a special look. 2 Mimi Spaulding and Tim Lamie walked across Thirlby Field nervously awaiting the announcers to call their names for the King and Queen of I9Ht . Students gathered on the school lawn before the homecoming pep assembly to celebrate the We Are The World’ fund raiser. Robin Lake cheers with the senior section during a pep assembly While the marching band played. ‘We Are The World’ the students sang and smiled for the camera. 3 The homecoming candidates competed with each other, during homecoming week, for student votes that would crown someone king, and someone queen. Our World Of Competition Many students spend hundreds of hours perfecting specific skills they have acquired through the years. With a school as large as the Traverse City Senior High, it’s not always easy to be the best in your class, therefore the students that have gained high recognition deserve an extra hand. For centuries people have been competing with one another in activities from sports to academics. In school, competition is an everyday event. Students compete for offices, for positions on athletic teams, for jobs, for boy-friends girlfriends, for grades, and the list goes on. Some people think it's easy to get lost in such a large school, but what they don't realize is that although the school is large, it offers a wide variety of options available to everyone. Cathy Strom says, “It’s a tough school to compete in, but it’s not impossible to be the best.’’ “Competition is there, but peer pressure isn’t as bad as it was in the Junior High. Everyone is their own individual now,’’ stated Laura Knight. “I’ve always been taught to be the best I can be and to give 110%,” stated a TC Senior. “The Traverse City High School gives me a chance to do what I want and even if you’re not the very best, they find a way to reward you. Webster's Dictionary defines competition as a competing rivalry. A rival is a person who is trying to get the same thing as another. The Traverse City High School is full of rivalry and competition. Through this the students learn self-discipline, respect, pride, and more about the real world. It won't be long and the students of today will be making tomorrow. Competition is one way of getting prepared for the future. Remember the first play-off game at Thirlby Field, when it was so cold you couldn’t stop your teeth from chattering? 4 During Christmas week, students competed with each other in the Lovely Legs contest. Money raised from this event went to the Salvation Army. Candy Williams went to Mt. Pleasant with a B.O.E.C. club, and took second place in the Information Communication 2 area. 5 Heather Tripp and Kelly McLaughlin entertained the fans at the playoff game in Lansing. Our World Of Entertainment Bands, pom-pons, flags, cheerleaders, sports, drama, skits, assemblies, and more. It's a world of entertainment at the Traverse City Senior High. During the course of the year special activities were held to promote school spirit and to get more people involved with school functions. Pep assemblies started the enthusiasm before a sporting event, while the dances after the games kept the spirits pumping. The marching band first filled the gym, then the football field with a terrific beat for the pom-pons, and cheerleaders to move in rhythm with. Once the weather started to get too cold to be outside, the entertainment was moved indoors. First came the excitement of the basketball games. Then the wrestling matches, volleyball games, gymnastic meets, concerts, the talent shows and plays. The ’85-’86 Drama Club presented ‘Carosel’ during the month of May a crowd pleaser to everyone. After the marching season ended the band and orchestra began concert season. That’s not all folks the Talent show, which was a big hit, was put on by NHS, featuring a variety of acts by the students. For the more romantic people, there was the ballroom event of the year Prom. If none of these ideas were appealing, there were always the local theaters, or a party at the 80’s. Graduation and Senior Night were the final farewell performance for the seniors. There you have it a short look at “Our World Of Entertainment.” It was a full year of excitement. Flag Corps member, Jodie Mower dances to ’Boogie Dow n.’ Geri Wares loved to take time out from ho r work to listen to her fa orite groups. maria samucis tained herself at home by reading the paper Channon Jordan, Robin Lake, and Robin Thiebaut took time out from cheering to capture one of their high school moments as friends. Friends get together for a Student Senate party. Jerry Gagnon stands with his proud parents at Thirlby Field on Parents Night. 8 Jackie Wessell and Jill VandenBerge kissed the dummy one last time before he was burned in the homecoming bond-fire. Was it the kids by the fence or the mud puddle that Shawn Schmidt and Matt Bartone had to walk through homecoming night, that made their smiles so wide before they walked onto the football field? Our World Of Friendship Some of us have been friends from the first day of kindergarten. Others may have just met during the past year. No matter when the first sign of friendship began, a bondage of memories will someday recreate the times we’ve had together. One of the advantages of attending the Traverse City Senior High is the opportunity of having many varied friends. Many students first get acquainted in the classroom. Some classes last for eighteen weeks, while others last the whole year. Each time a new year begins or a new semester of classes start, students often find unfamiliar faces around them. Because of the population in the school, it’s not unusual to walk into a classroom and know only about half the class. Sometimes it’s discouraging to not know everyone, because the chance of having your best friends in a lot of your classes are slim. But the teachers do a good job of getting their students to do things that will help to get them all acquainted. After the stage of getting to know each other is over, the disappointment of not having your closest friends in class seems to disappear. Two other major opportunities to meet people in school surroundings are on athletic teams and in extra-curricular activities. The beginning of very long friendships sometimes starts at tryouts. Such friendships created school spirit and helped to make the TC Senior High a strong academic and athletic school. We worked together as friends to create a school of Trojan teamwork. 9 Our World Of Love William Shakespeare once said, “Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.” These lines from Twelfth Night were not just meant for two people of the opposite sex who are attracted to each other, but also for anyone who exhibits some kind of kindness. Love can be a dangerous weapon with a destination to hurt if not handled in the right way, but when done as Shakespeare says, it is the best reward man can ask for. Defined; love is a strong feeling of affection complicated because there are so many ways to love. If you’re wondering why “Our World Of Love” was chosen to be in the opening section of the yearbook, it’s because there is a better definition for the word “love” found right here at school, than there is in any dictionary. That definition is “an emotion not hard to find.” You can see love between teachers and students . . love between coaches and players . and amazingly enough, some people love certain subjects they’re taking. People even display love by hugging and kissing in the halls. Love is everywhere. You can see it come out as enthusiasm you can feel it when someone goes that extra mile to help and you can feel it in that school spirit. Some people are afraid to love. If you are one of those people, try to think about love the way Shakespeare sees it, because you may be depriving yourself of a wonderful opportunity to experience a unique human feeling. Love is too strong of a word to set limits on, so go ahead explore it. Gwen Pridemore holds her son Derek Pridemore to show one of the many ways she loves him. Jim Meyer plays, Do They Know It’s Christmas’, to help raise money for the Salvation Army. Our World Of Music It started in the ’30’s with the Charleston. Words were added in the ’50’s along with an up-beat rhythm to create Rock-n-Roll. A bop bop a lou bop a bop bam boom if you call those words. The ’80’s brought sharp electrifying sounds to give Rock-n-Roll a new image. From generation to generation the types of music people listen to seems to change, but no matter how different one’s taste in music is from other’s, the music they all listen to comes from the same background. Music is a constant reminder of the past. REO Speedwagon and Tina Turner were reminders of those wild times at Castle Farms. Bruce Springsteen brought back those memories of your “Home Town.” And whenever Lionel Riche sang a love song, it was a reminder of that first love. It wasn’t always the style of music that attracted people, but the lyrics. Remember driving downtown with the windows rolled down, playing “Like A Virgin” for attention? Of course, we hd our own talent right at school. Students from school formed bands, while other students sang in the choir or played an instrument in band and orchestra. For the less fortunate ones that couldn’t carry a tune and were all thumbs when it came to playing a musical instrument, ghetto blasters provided instant music that could fill a room, and sound like an expensive stereo system. Music was a large part of our entertainment during our high school years. In years to come, some of that music will remind you of the times you spent with your friends. Memories “That’s What Friends Are For.” It wasn't spinach that made Tina Burdinie grow to be so tall, it was 98 rock, a rock-n-roll good time. 12 Tom Calkins feels, listening to music helps him get his school work done faster and better. There was never a moment that poni-pon girl, Kelly Ar-dern wasn’t smiling. The marching band performed a variety of songs during the football season, to give the fans entertainment. 13 13 Jennifer Cox and Chrys Martin displayed a few of the '86 styles. Our World Of Styles Do you go to Crazy Horse or Pavlova’s to get your hair styled? Do you buy only Chanel make up? Do you wear Calvin Klein and Betsy Johnson, or are Hawaiian shirts more your wave? People seem to be going for more of the expensive “in” styles each year. It wasn’t unusual to walk around school and see flowered jeans, European shoes, trench coats, and long dresses with loose belts. Long, short, or inbetween were the “in” styles for hair. Long perms were sexy. The bobbed styles were the cute look, and punk was the word for anyone that had short hair. 1986 was a year of changes. If someone didn’t like the color of their hair, they changed it. If blue denim wasn’t for you, the jeans got bleached. If nice and neat wasn’t your thing, looking like Madonna was acceptable. Mom and Dad always told us, “Be what you want to be”, so we did. We called it the “in” styles, but later on in life people will be saying it was our individual characteristics that make us what we are. Personal appearances wasn’t the only thing that got branded “style.” Cars, local hang-outs, movies, Clinch Park, and certain sporting events were branded as “ins.” With technology comes changes. Our world is a world with styles that come and go. When the styles have gone, they’re what make us what we are. Style is not a dirty word, but a word filled with character, just like the class of ’86. Laura Flaherty models her French style outfit. « You could often see Lauren Begelv walking around school in the newest fashions. Sean O’Keefe liked to dress in his own fashion style. 15 T,na Burdinie Darren Knight 8 nd Theresa Rushton love their Toyota trucks. Some people choose to decorate their cars to fit their personalities. In almost all types of weather. Steve Bram-mer used his moped for transportation. Our World Of Transportation A large percentage of the students at the Senior High depend on buses for their transportation to and from school. Some students drive their own vehicles while others hitch rides from family members and friends. The last most common way of transportation to school is by foot. Students that live within a mile and Yi radius of the High School did not have assigned buses, therefore some chose to walk. These are th most common types of transportation used, but not the only kinds. On warmer days students rode motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, and even skateboards. Students were judged individually on their need to drive to school. In most cases, only the students that were in sports, students in co-op, and students that needed transportation for certain classes, were able to get parking permits. The ratio of students to parking spaces was no where near equal, therefore the students that met the requirements received permits before others. There was a section chained off in the front row of the parking lot for motorcycles. Bicycles, and mopeds could be chained to bars by E building and by the main office. As for skateboards, they were usually kept in lockers. Many students complained about having to ride buses to school because they were crowded and because they had to get up early to walk to the bus stop. Biding the buses didn't last forever, so people eventually stopped complaining about them. Then the new talk was, “Who's driving that Fiero?” “How long has she had that Fiat?”, and “Is that truck his own?” Becky Voice and Anne Parsons depend on their legs for short distant travel. 17 Our World Of SENIORS K ieth Ackerman Amy Adams Dav id Alexander Heidi Alger Matthew Allen Daryl Amidon Jana Anderson Karri Anderson Kay Andres Cara Aprea Kelly Andern Andrew Armstrong Micheal Auger Dale Baatz Kurt Bader Lisa Ballentine Leanne Barnhart Kristen Barrett Richard Barrett Matthew Bartone Todd Basch Ann Beattie Laura Begley Monica Belanger Katherine Bellant 20 Scott Bendickson I ara Bennett ( aria Billadeau M ir hello Bissel I Rosemarie Blaser Chadwick Bliss Victor Bliss Patricia Blodgett Jeffrey Bloom Kells Blount rri Boldt sley Bonter Id Bosley 11 minic Boyce n Braden Bonita Brakel Laura Brauniger John Breif Timothy Brien Rebecca Bristol Lena Bristow Daniel Brown Durk Brown Megan Brown Deborah Burden 21 22 Tina Burdinie Angela Burgess Julie Burns Crisde Butler Ginger Butler Hubert Butryn Thomas Calkins K i ruherli ( a m pbell ( h ristopher ( a r I son Heather Carlson a (I re w Corolus 1 louglas Carrier h rista Catallo I k k ( hallender I : i abeth hambers Tracy Chapman Sandra Chircop Donald Church Terrie Clark Jeffrey Cleland Andrew Coe Holly Cole Jack Compton Andrew Cook Jennifer Cook I oren Cooledge Stacey Cooper Michelle Corbin Mark Core Melissa Courtad ( arrie Courtadc Jennifer Cox K i mborly ( rawford ( h rislen Crewes Traci Croton I iniel Culp usan Cummins I homas Darga Thomas Davidson ott Dejong Jeff Dobler Daniel Domine Kelly Donner Melissa Doub April Draper 'lark Draper ( beryl Drew Kathleen Drinan ( Kristopher Duffs srott Dunham 23 Kimberl Dunlavy Jeffrey Durocher Timoth Dutmers Cynthia Duvall Kenneth Eder Jennifer Eikey Robert Eisner X mher Elenbaas I .i ige Elenbaas Matthew Ellis Paul Ellul K ristin Erikson Robert Eshelman russell Eshelman Brian Farkas Brett Fedorinchik Kamala Finch Jennifer Fistler Curtis Fitzgerald Barbara Fleetwood Sylvia Flores Curt Foerster Lisa Forst James Fournier Colleen Franklin 24 Livid Fred H i enda Fuller .1 rrome Gagnon I uiglas Gallagher raig Gay Kevin Gay Laurie Giddis Kristine Gilbertson Karen Gillies Nicolle Girard Barbara Glenn Melissa Goddard Kristin Good Joseph Gouin Chanda Gourdie Theresa Graf Julie Gravette Jack Green Christopher G renda Leroy Griffis Sarah Griffiths Eduardo Guadalupe Paul Gumper Todd Gutzka Lisa Guzman 2S 26 Brenda Habel MeKeel Hagen Melissa Hains Joel Hamilton K i mberly H a milton Timothy Haney Tesha Hankes Christopher Hanna Colleen Hansz Kevin Hansz Julie Harper Tracy Harris Kathleen Harvey Richard Harvey Charles Hastings 'ori ( Hatch hristopher 11.11 haway J hn Heckroth K iron Hedlund K;eky Hendges Scott Henry Tomas Hentschcl Rodney Hernden Lisa Holdredge Das id Holmes Kimberly Hondorp Karen Hooper Paul Hoppin James Horn Jennifer Horton M i 11 hew Howe ture I a Howell Mike Hubert I .uirie Huey Joseph Hulett I uirie Hundle sun Im I h r i stian I verso n ( i lierine Jackson I i |te Jamieson Joseph Janiga Edith Jenkins Grant Johnston David Jones Terry Jones Amanda Joppict ( hannon Jordan Krrin Judd Annette Kabclla Dayna Kahrs 27 28 Kr in Kalchik Brian Keffer K i rsten Keilitz Ta mmy Kelley I st her Kelsch Steven Kent Koleen Kerlin Ricahrd Kerr Michael Keser Kevin Kevvvitch Timothy Kevwitch Joseph Kiersey Thomas Kilburg Theresa Kinder Janet Kiriacopoulos . a rd ner Klaasen hristopher k . i e r J -. 11 n k i ngelsmith kin neth k i'H.sterman Laura Knight Christopher Kozacek Korenne Kraft Jennifer Krogel Kelly Kroupa Brthany Kucera Paul Kuepfer T1 ma Kuerth Sandy LaBonte K hin Lake Gary LaMarche Tamara Lambert Christine Lamie Timothy P.

' f • 82 The Boardman Administration, the people that hold our school system together. Dr. Vern Oxender, the superintendent of schools manages the entire district so students can have a good education. Dr. Oxender is known as the C.E.O., the chief executive over everyone. He deals with the rest of the admninistration staff, the principals and the faculty. He insures the goals of the community within the school system. Mr. John Schulz and Mr. Ronald Fite are the assistant superintendents of the school district. The major jobs of these two are the supervision of the principals, the curriculum director, and the working of staff development. Mr. Schulz also works with public relations, he publishes The Communicator, and the school newsletter. They visit each school at least once a month to see how teachers are teaching and how everything is working out. Mr. Schulz says he loves his job because he 'gets to work for kids. Mrs. Ida Tompkins is the Director of Business and Finance. Her job is to oversee the business operation of a staff of about 12 people working on budgeting, payroll and purchasing. She oversees the printing operations and data processing. She also receives all the monies from all departments and figures out how to use it wisely in the school district. Mrs. Lorraine Kaminski is in charge of the curriculum. She helps and designs all the programs of K-12. She works with all the department heads, and visits each of the schools and teachers, and sees how the new education programs are working out. Mr. John Travis is in charge of the administrative services. He works with child accounting, transportation, food service and maintenance services. He enrolls all new students, keeps all data on every child in the school district, and also keeps all records of students after they have graduated. He supervises the transportation, food service, monitors budgets and is in charge of all building done in the schools. David Hott, the Transportation Director, manages 190 employees who transport approximately 10,000 students to and from school, and sees that 240 buses are kept going. He also helps in the disciplining of the kids on buses. Mrs. Kaminski — a woman of the '80’s, always on the go. Assistant Superintendent Mr. Schulr smiles for the picture to show how much he loves his job. Dr. Vern Oxender answers a question that his secretary has for him. Mr. David Hott the man in charge of keeping the transporting of kids in order. V Office Places Students 1st Mrs. Valade. Mrs. Henigan, and Ms. Mulligan take time out of their busy schedules to make you think that all isn't hectic. For over 8 years, Dr. Richard Ayling has dedicated himself to providing the best education to students at Traverse City Senior High School. ‘I believe that I have the best principal’s job in the state. I have made education and school my top priority,” said Ayling. Dr. Ayling is the principal of the Traverse City Senior High School. He is located in the main office which is commonly called the “Principal’s Office.” But the principal is not the only one who works hard in the main office; Mrs. Ruth Valade, Ms. Stella Mulligan, Mrs. Debbie Henigan, Mrs. Phylis Johnson, Mr. Waldo Keating, and Mr. Dave Dye also inhabit the main office, which does more than most people believe. During June each year, the main office makes preparations for the nearly 700 graduates. During the year, they keep track of students permanent records, college admissions, and child accounts. They take care of purchase orders, check in supplies, and text books. Dedication, hard work, and desire makes the main office at Traverse City Senior High School the best it can be. Secretary Ms. Mulligan concentrates on two jobs at once, answering the phone and smiling for the picture. Athletic Director Mr. Dave Dye a good sport. Miss Draper, the lady in charge of attendance, is usually behind her desk with perfect attendance. Dr. Ayling, our Traverse city Senior High Principal and jail-bird for a day. The man in charge.

Still, many students do not realize the large role counselors play in the daily affairs of the school. When one has problems or questions concerning classes, college placement, financial aid, career planning, or academic assistance, a counselor is naturally the one to see. They can guide you through academic problems, and help you set personal and career goals. If you have personal problems, your counselor is also the one to turn to. They can provide you with one-on-one personal counseling, family discussions, or refer you to an agency in cases of pregnancy, drug abuse, or family or social crises. However, counselors do even more than that. They also can set up student teaching positions at Oak Park Elementary, they administer the ACT, SAT, and PSAT tests, and hold special nighttime activities, such as college night and freshman parent orientation night. This year, the counseling staff tried to get students more involved in career planning. To better help with academic planning, each counselor now has a computer terminal in his office. Next year, this system will be connected to a new system at TBA to provide instant access to student records and other important information. This was also the first year our counselors have hosted the Michigan Personnel and Guidance conference, held at Boyne Mountain Resort. “We hope the students at Traverse City Senior High feel they are treated as individuals by their counselors,” says counselor Larry Burns, “even though there are such large numbers to deal with.” So, what is a counselor? A counselor is a person who is always there when you need help, whether you have academic trouble or personal problems, you can always turn to your counselor.

My dog ate my paper; The reason I was absent is just two of the many excuses the Traverse City High School faculty hears every day from the student body. Here at Traverse City High there are well over 100 teachers. The subjects they teach range anywhere from College Prep English to Small Engine Repairs. Traverse City is widely known for its excellence in education and has the faculty to thank for it. The faculty puts together a great teaching program and this helps the students get accepted more easily into highly selective colleges. Although the students have changed and come a long way from giving teachers an apple, teachers are still appreciated today as much as they were many years ago. Let’s have three cheers for the faculty! Gym teacher Lynne Mixer takes time out of her busy schedule to teach aerobics to other staff members. 88 Attendance And Security Head of Security Mr. Christopher “All students are expected to attend every class regularly and to be on time for classes in order to derive maximum benefit from the instructional program and to develp habits of punctuality, self-discipline, and responsibility.” This is the starting statement on the 1985-86 list of Attendance Regulations and Procedures. This year's regulations and procedures underwent a small change. Students needed to have their parents call and notify the Attendance Office before 3:00, whereas, before this year it was 3:30. Miss Mary Jane Draper, head of the attendance program, said, “People aren't skipping classes as much this year as in past years; however, she added, “there are still a lot of unexcused absences.” Security is the second half of Attendance and Security. Headed by Mr. Keith Christopher, security provides the handling of rule violations, law violations and security at after school activities. Mr. Jerry Payne, an employee of the department, controls the parking lot and the distribution of parking stickers. This year's security has seen more larceny, fights and marijuana but less destruction of school property. “Every year, it seems to get worse,” Christopher stated. “Larger classes and more students mean more problems.” Head of Attendance Program Miss Draper Mr. Hoensheid thinks that he is Tom Selleck. Mrs. Shroeger writes out a pass for a 12th grade student. Mrs. Zaremba, of 11th grade attendance, talks with a parent about a student absence. Mrs. Bryan’s 10th grade calls keep her busy. 91 Secretaries Save Everyone Mrs. Tremain types in beat with the music as Mrs. Staehnik and Mrs. Walling join in the chorus. I need a pass to get into class because ... can I borrow a pencil?, can I make an appointment to see my counselor? If the secretaries haven’t heard the excuse or problem it hasn’t been thought of yet! The secretaries of the Traverse City Senior High School are Mrs. Diane Staehnik of C building; Mrs. Arlene Tremain of D building; Mrs. Caryn Cleland of E building and Mrs. Mary Jane Walling of F building. The secretaries hear a lot of complaints, but also have fun parts about their jobs. They make appointments, do receptionist’s work, which is anwering the telephone, getting messages to students from their parents, typing, filing, keeping records of all the students, giving first aid to students who have small blisters or small cuts, and probably the most tedious job, taking care of all the locks and lockers. What would anyone do without you secretaries? Probably be lost! Thank you, thank you; we appreciate you all greatly! At right, seere-t a r y of E building. Mrs. Caryn Cleland. What's the matter Mrs. Valade? Can't you find some one’s college application? At far right, we got you Mrs. Tre-main! Stretch those arms, 2, 3. 4! Mrs. Stachnik.

It has had a good response from the students, as more students showed interest in participating in the art classes than in the past years. Even though they had such a big response, some classes had to be dropped. This is due to the shortage of a teacher, Mr. Kushara, who retired, which left the department with only two teachers, Mrs. Potes and Mrs. Fox. Two new classes, jewelry and sculpture, were added, in which students had to sculpt a bust of their choice and make rings, earrings, bracelets and broaches. Some of the goals for the department next year are replacing the retired teacher, getting some new equipment which is badly needed, and adding four new classes. The classes are Introduction to Commercial Arts, College Prep. Art Class, American Arts Class, which is craft oriented, and a Painting Class. “It has been challenging this year working in the department, but it has also been a fun and exciting new experience. Any time you have young people being creative you’re going to get surprises that both please you and stun you. What’s best about our job is that you get to shape the direction in which some talented people are heading. That is certainly an exciting challenge for me.” — Martha Fox Terry Jones works on a drawing. Brenda Fuller, Kolleen Kerlin, and Jim Noland concentrate on their work in photography class. Kim Lown.

The classes prepare students to go into the business world where most jobs can be found. They also help you to file and organize school-work. There is a long list of classes from the business section, such as Typing, Accounting, Basic Law and Shorthand 1 and 2. These are just a few of the courses. Typing class is not just typing, there is Typing 1 and 2, Personal Typing and Advanced Personal Typing. All typing classes are one semester and are devoted to learning and operating an electronic typewriter. In any typing class at the end of the semester the student can decide if he. or she would like to keep the class as a credit or if they choose not to they can have the class erased. The law classes are The law in Business, and Basic law. Basic law is just what it says, it’s a class that teaches basic laws. Every day personal situations, legal situations, court cases, and law problems are discussed and analyzed in class. The classes talk about buying, selling, borrowing, and anything that is Business and Law oriented. Another class is Shorthand 1, and 2. Shorthand 1 teaches a student to write and read shorthand notes. At the end of the year they hope that students can write 80 words a minute. enjoy business classes because they are so important. Over 70% of all people go into business world. When it comes right down to it, if you eliminate the business community, you don't have too many options left. Business is what makes any community vital.

Whether it’s a form of reading, speaking, listening, or simply understanding, we could all stand to do it better and more easily. One thing that English teacher John Gerhardt would like to see students leave his class with is that they should never be embarrassed to use any form of communication. “If you really want to get back to basics,” says popular radio teacher Woody Hansen, “our department is where it all begins. If you’re a poor communicator, you sure place yourself at a tremendous disadvantage if you’re competing against someone who doesn’t have the same problem.” By the time a student finishes his career at TCHS, he should have eight semesters of Comm Arts, including one verbal, two in literature, and two in writing. The others may be picked up as electives. “I think students who have trouble with a particular area of their communication skills find courses in that area to be tough and often distasteful,” says Hansen, “because in class you’re often personally made to perform at what you’re not good at doing. Anyone hates to be in that situation, but it’s necessary in order to improve.” To speak over Ihe radio to an infi-nite audience, can be almost as scary or intimidating as to stand in front of a live audience. You've got to sound like you know what you’re talking about, and you've got to convince your listeners they want to hear you. Now that's what I call communicating!! — Woody Hansen 104 Trisha Hilden convinces Mr. Hansen that she deserves an A for her performance.

That's why you have the shades, right? is found in most Industrial Arts classes that used to be for “dummies” who needed an easy grade. That image has long since changed, and so have many of the classes. Due to the changes, it takes more skill and imagination to survive in these classes than the average person realizes. Students in these classes learn more than just how to use a saw or a hammer. Basic skills, safety, and craftsmanship are developed through instruction, practice, and imagination. These classes allow the students individuality to surface. They work with the teacher to develop a certain level of craftsmanship, or the mastering of basic skills. After these “basic skills are completed, the students branch out to their own level, creating their own original projects, anything from coffee tables to roll top desks, providing the students with more than just a letter grade to show for their hard work. The main function of these classes is to bridge the gap between attending High School and entering the world of jobs and careers. These classes can help students decide what their future employment desires might be. Even if these classes do not decide a student’s future, they do provide a good learning experience in these areas. “Industrial Arts has shown me that the community is better served through the Industrial Arts classes. — Eric Wall, senior. Industrial Arts serves to stamp out ignorance. It bridges the gap between academics and manufacturing. I know so many people who regret that they know so little of the basic skills required by industry.

Before you know it you are living the story — laughing, loving, hating, struggling, and winning! All the adventure, all the excitement you lack in your daily life, is in — books. They take you completely out of yourself into a wonderful new world but of everyday existence if only for an evening escape. There are approximately 21,000 books in the library, plus 8,000 non-print materials such as the micro-fiche, computers, and film strips, just to name a few. The books and materials can be used for research and plea-sureable reading. Each year there is an estimate of 20,000 dollars spent on all materials. The staff consists of two certified librarians, (Mr. Craig and Ms. Messing) 3 clerical staff, and student aids. The student aids help people by getting books, and setting up microfilm, just to name a few duties. The whole library, book checkout system is on computer. This handles all overdue material as well as inventory at the end of the year. Students have three weeks for books to be checked out before they become overdue. The security system has saved many dollars. In fact, it will have paid for itself within two years. Those students who have been caught without checking out books by the alarm system, have learned to take that responsibility seriously and as a result have saved a great deal of money. “Traverse City Senior High has the best group of students in the State of Michigan. ” Pam Bogard searches through the card catalog hoping to find a book for her reading pleasure.

What is the third of the “Three R's ? 'rithmetic, also known as mathematics. There are a number of classes listed under this curriculum title: algebra, trigonometry, calculus, pre-calculus, geometry and of course arithmetic. There are all different levels of classes to challenge all different kinds of minds. Mathematics plays a very important part in our lives. Whether we become a carpenter or a lawyer, knowing some simple steps of mathematics is always helpful. You learn discipline through math because you are asked to take certain numbers and put them into specific problems and come out with specific answers. The teachers that have helped us learn these valuable skills at the high school are Department Head James Rossi, Miss Mason, and Mr. Haines, Lewallen, Swire, Allen, Johnson, Thibedeau, Comstock, Provenzano, Son-nemann and Wood. Scholarships are given to those who excel in the math program. This year's recipient of the Rensselaer Mathematics and Science Award was David Fred. Yearly, each department chooses an outstanding senior student. This year's outstanding math student was Channon Jordan. People have become less concerned, over the rears, in education. It is time that society place less emphasis on jobs and extra curriculars, and emphasize school once again. — Joe Haines Bryan Maynard and Loren Bristol furiously finish their homework assignment.

Becky Popp and Kar-mon Aeschliman discuss math tactics with Mr. Haines. 113 are outstanding, as the TC High School Music Department is widely recognized as among the best in the state. Four of the sections of the department which contribute tremendously to this excellence are the jazz band, symphony band, symphony orchestra and concert choir. Each part of the department operates as an individual group. These groups often perform together to add variety to their show in order to attract a wider spectrum of people. One example of their joint performance was the 1986 commencement exercises. The groups performed compositions both alone and with each other to diversify the entertainment for the event. Of the four groups, not one outshines the others but each is outstanding in its specialized art form. Each group is highly selective, and can afford to be so, since each one receives approximately three times as many applicants as it has space for. The amount of respect shown toward the groups can be partially attributed to the size of our Class “A” school, and our ability to be so particular when selecting musical representatives. The superior direction under which the musicians perform provides another means of justification for the abundant respect shown toward the music department statewide. Music is nothing more than a discipline. it's true that natural ability can make things easier, but hard work and practice help a lot more. Students in all our instrumental and vocal groups give a tremendous amount of themselves, both time and energy. We're really like a team; the sum is only the equal of its parts. — John Campbell The Symphony Band performs at June graduation. jedicate Through The Universal Langua All eyes on the Director.

When asked, a sophomore said, “IPs a fun class, it let's you get away from your academic classes and you can rest your mind. It lets you relieve tension. If you're with your friends it's a lot of fun.” The main things the teachers are trying to accomplish is to improve the cardiovascular system, flexability, and skills. The teachers hope that when the students finish class that they will have an increased knowledge of fitness and will carry this knowledge with them. The students get to pick the activities they would like to participate in, choosing 3 units every 9 weeks. They have the best time when it’s nice enough to go outside. The reaction of the students toward gym is mainly reflected by the teacher. Most of the time the teachers do a good job of getting to the students. The growth of the 10th grade class had not affected the discipline. They have a little problem with the weight room being overcrowed, but that has always been a problem. Mr. Lober said that the year has been a good one and everything went well. “Out of all the activities the kids love running the best, which is a little bit surprising because it requires that you already be somewhat in shape and that you expend some energy. Probably the teachers of the classes that follow' like it best too. because most people probably aren V so hyper after a good run. — John Lober Soccer seemed to be a favorite activity during gym class. This student shows how much fun he's having doing the high jump. Classes got tired just looking over the requirements for the weight room program. Dave Crews shows his skill playing soccer. 119 and teachers expect to give them, despite the fact that students like to complain about the big test coming up or about how hard one teacher’s course is when compared to another’s. All teachers know this is typical talk of many sophomores, juniors, and even seniors. What was found under that all so common surface was that teachers want the students to have the best possible knowledge of science. This includes virtually all sciences, for instance, chemistry, physics, senior science, biology, physiology or life science. In addition, many honors or advanced placement courses are offered. The science department wishes to teach students about the processes of science, rather than cramming a bunch of facts into a student’s head so that he doesn’t know where or what they came from. Instead, they concentrate on how things work and on occasion get first hand experience through a field trip of some sort. Trips are often taken to places like the water treatment plant, the sand dunes and to interesting ecological areas near the high school. Science is the key to life, and as people who specialize in living, it would be foolish for us to ignore its study. We are living in exciting, challenging, yet dangerous times, and we all have the responsibility of acquiring the knowledge to improve the quality of life. That’s where teachers enter the picture. — Ed Merchant Kent Rice and Kris Good seem to have different reactions in physics. Weighing chemicals is crucial to the success or failure of an experiment. Do Jordan I.indbcrg and Matt Scaer know something? Discussion is an important part of an experiment. The Periodic Table gives a good background for real deliberation. Mr. Trahair definitely does, and he makes sure that others do too. A 121 is something new in the Social Studies department. They are getting into classes which have more to do with world conflicts. A new class the department added this year is ICS, International Communication Simulation. In this class students all over Michigan play the role of an individual somewhere in the world. This year TCHS represented the countries of Syria, West-bank and the Soviet Union. The students are given a problem. They then must think carefully and plan carefully how they would attempt to solve the conflict. They send their messages by computers to other countries to try to solve the conflict. So far the class has had an excellent response. The International Communication Simulation is run through the University of Michigan headquarters. There has been such a big response that they have three classes enrolled for next year. Eventually the department would like to develop six classes. Next year the department will be introducing two more new classes. One is the Constitutional Convention Class which is similar to ICS and there will be a couple of Student Core Classes. The department is very satisfied with the new program and is anxiously looking forward to next year. “The International Communications Simulation class is a very fun and educational class. It’s fun to teach, because you really get to work with motivated students who are always willing to take more than an extra step. In fact, what they must do in this class could fill up an average student’s whole schedule.” — Duane Shugart Stacey VanLooy shows just how much fun she’s really having at the leadership conference.

Mr. McManus is enthused about telling his students what went on in the 20's and .10’s. is a capzone experience ’ and the way Mr. Keith Evans describes the education at TBA. Students come, most with some previous experience, and with an idea of what career they would like to pursue. They are in class for 2V2 hour time blocks. Classes have a maximum of twenty-two students and most teachers have teacher aids. The main purpose of TBA is to prepare students to be job-ready and to get them ready for the world of work. The big advantage of TBA is students get hands-on experience which is a big plus. They emphasize skills to be able to do different job entry levels. They also try to teach the students what it means and takes to be a good employee. The students must do their work at a minimum of 80% accuracy. If it isn’t, they must keep doing it until they make that 80%. Students must also pass employability skills in order to pass any class. A student may also receive credit for a class he took here at NMC. Students have also been put in advanced classes because advanced knowledge of skills they learned. As you can see, it is a big plus to be able to attend a class at TBA. TBA is a great place to get real experience. So many people don’t know what it's really like here. TBA is here to help the kids. — Keith Evans You could always find something interesting going on in the accounting banking room, as in this picture where the instructor, Ron Cassle. celebrates his birthday with his class and Miss Piggy.

The candidates chosen were Matt Bartone, Paul Kuepfer, Tim Lamie, Doug Lautner, Jim Woodburne, Kelli McLaughlin, Karen Nelson, Shawn Schmidt, Mimi Spaulding, and Mary Beth Skendzel. On Thursday, Student Senate sponsored a parade of the class floats and a few floats from school clubs. The senior class was judged as having the most outstanding float. After the parade the bonfire took place behind C Building. Coaches and the King and Queen candidates were introduced. After a Detroit Cass Tech effigy was burned, the huge bonfire was put out by firemen. As Friday rolled around, the spirit around the high school was high and everybody wanted a piece of the action. A special 45 minute pep-assem- bly took place during the day after 3rd hour. Included were skits from the Acme cheerleaders and the T.C.H.S. teachers. The band and cheerleaders as always fired-up the crowd of parents and staff and students. After giving one of his great speeches, Coach Ooley led his football team off to the small gym for a small pep talk. At the game Friday night the winner of the float competition was announced after the Trojans had scored a 48-8 victory over Detroit Cass Tech. The King and Queen candidates were brought out on to the field to be met by Dr. Ayling and two of the Pep-Club officers, Chris Eddington and Lisa Puffer. Then the moment came when all stood still as the 1985-86 King and Queen were announced Tim Lamie and Mimi Spaulding. As a conclusion to this year’s events, Mimi and Tim shared a traditional dance at the Homecoming dance after the game that night. iNOC c + TnF Ph I The winning float of the 1985 Homecoming festivities goes to the Seniors!!!!!!

Among the student senate sponsored events were Hug Day. Red Green Day. Lovely Legs, and Ribbon Day. The most successful of these was the Lovely Legs Contest, and Ribbon Day. The Lovely Legs day required students to wear shorts to school for the whole day. These daring people carried around money cans to collect pocket change from other students around school. At the end of the day, the “Lovely Leggers had raised $147 that was all donated to local charities. For Ribbon Day, each girl was given a ribbon. At the end of the day, the guy with the most ribbons won. The winner of this event ended up with 11 ribbons. Another part of Christmas week was Hug Day. The idea was just as it says. The event was to bring friends closer together to reflect on their feelings. In the middle of the week there was a special Christmas assembly put on by several student bands, performances during first and second lunch. Students were charged 25c admission, $342 was raised. Kris Hains felt Christmas week was “a lot of fun for those who participated. It’s too bad that more people didn’t get involved. Lovely Legs was a lot of fun. A lot of people thought we were weird for wearing shorts, but it was really fun doing something unusual that was for a good cause.’’ y The posters in the cafeteria, describing the week’s events.

The TCHS had two visits from the American Red Cross this year, once in November, and once in April. Between the two times they collected about 170 pints of blood. Every year the Red Cross sets a goal of how many pints of blood they’d like to collect. Their goal for this year was 62,000 pints. They fell short about 200 pints before they made it to the Senior High. The first blood drive had 117 volunteers, with 33 out of those being denied. The second had 97 donors, with 11 denied for various reasons. What are some of the qualifications for donating blood? First, you must be 17 years of age, you can't be a diabetic, and you must weigh at least 113 pounds. After the blood is collected, it is split up and sent somewhere between the U.P. and Mid-Michigan. Only on a special occasion when they find a rare blood type do they send it out of the area. The blood donated in Michigan seldom leaves the state, going to the needy people in Michigan. This region referred to as the Wolverine Region. The Wolverine Region supplies blood products to 35 hospitals throughout a 27 county area. High schools and colleges are the source of 17% of all blood collected by Red Cross in this country. In the Wolverine Region, over 9% of all the blood needed by hospitalized patients, is supplied through this source. Though this amount may not seem like much, every student's participation is important. Annette Fogle prepares the blood. A student breathes a sigh of relief as the bag is removed 133 r T.C. Power, T.C. Power . .. That is a cheer familar to all, especially avid Trojan fans. The cheerleaders are trying to involve the fans more actively in the cheering, something that has tended to die out over the years. For eight girls to lead a crowd of any large number is a difficult task, but with the help of a rowdy crowd, their job is a little easier. There are various tasks that the cheerleaders do behind the scenes that not many people know about. For instance, they attended Camp Grelick with the football team and decorated the halls for them. The cheerleaders are also members of Pep Club and help them by making signs. The girls try to give special little treats to the various players of the different teams. For instance, one time they gave the basketball team oranges that resembled basketballs. “Cheerleading has become a very important part of my life for a number of reasons. It has introduced me to new challenges, people, and the value of a positive attitude, to success or failure. Above all it has given me the opportunity to be committed, dedicated, and supportive of some really wonderful teams. — Channon Jordan, captain. V Clockwise from top left: Tami Sheffer, Laura Dennis.

Marching Band Shines Any time you think of Traverse City football, several things automatically come to any Trojan fan’s mind: power and precision, and those are two words which are also appropriate when describing the power of their music and the precision of their marching. If the band didn’t match the team as Number One in the state, they certainly weren’t far from it. “Every day and every minute of practice has but one goal,” says Band Director John Campbell. “We’re no different from any group of people who work and depend on each other. If one person fouls up we all look bad, and we definitely don't play simple music or do easy routines. We think we give the fans their money’s worth every time we march out of the field. Marching band routines have become so sophisticated that we routinely use a computer to design our programs.” The 156 member band, along with the pom-pon squad and flag corps, performed eleven different songs and routines, featuring such music as Igor Stravinski’s Firebird, Birdland, and Escorpian, not to mention their always outstanding job on the Trojan fight song, the school song, and the National Anthem. At each home game and at each playoff game, including the State Championship game at the Silverdome, the Trojans were led by Drum Major Paul Kuepfer and Majorette Missy Goddard, while the poms were led by Jenny Veeder and the flag corps were captained by Megan Brown and Marybeth Skendzel. J The Marching Band performs the maneuver known as the “wheel” during their halftime presentation at the Class A Football Championships.

The students in this section are diverse within their own specialized areas. Besides this diversity, and perhaps more important, is their devotion to the organization through concerts and activities, both during and outside of school. Instrumental music contains many separate bands such as concert band, marching band, and jazz band. Each of these bands has a variety of members, some being a part of all three, and others using the experience to start a band of their own outside of school. Though the bands originate through the high school, and use it as their “home base,” they perform in many separate concerts thorughout the V_________________________.____________________________ school year, at such locations as Interlochen Center for the Arts and Lars Hockstad Auditorium. These concerts are performed for the general public and help to fund the music program at the high school. The members of these bands are very dedicated to the program since most plan to use music, in some way, as part of their future. A lot of effort is put into fund raising for the organization, with the students selling candy bars and other popular items to their classmates and family throughout the school year. It is such pride and dedication, on the part of the students, as well as their advisors, which makes all of the Trojan bands noteable and among the best in the state.

Smile girls! r v Popular Campus Activities At the Traverse City Senior High, there are a variety of activities that take place on the campus. There is a lot of time for the students to involve themselves in things like hacky-sac, frisbee. skateboarding. soccer and especially just relaxing under a tree or bathing in the sun. Students find time to do these things during lunch, on an off hour, and before and after school. Some people also enjoy riding bikes and mopeds to and from school, taking scenic walks around the campus. When the sun is shining and the temperature is in the 80’s or higher, students can be found all over the senior high grounds. Most people prefer the sunny outdoors compared to the stuffy library. Hacky-sac, one of the most popular activities to hit the senior high, takes a lot of skill and agility on the part of the participators. Groups of people can be found at just about anytime of the day, engrossed in keeping the small ball in the air. The students can also be seen kicking the bail around at the beach. Skateboarding is another popular activity that gives thrills to students. A lot of dangerous and exciting stunts are performed by the riders. Skateboarding is an alternative to riding bikes to school. Riding through the streets on the boards seems to be done more and more every day. These are just a few of the many different activities that the senior high students participate in. J Vince Fochtman.

The students went to Washington D.C. in order to learn and to experience our system of government. They spent eight weeks of afterschool classes in preparation for this Close Up Foundation sponsored trip. Close Up is a program that sponsors students to local, state, and national field trips. Every day the students time was packed with interesting events. On the average day they awoke at seven and were on their way by eight. Before noon they might have zoomed through the House of Representatives. Supreme Court, Senate, and the Library of Congress. It was rare that they would return before 10 o’clock at night. Washington D.C. is a place everyone should experience in the spring. “The cherry blossoms reminded me of Traverse City,” said Kris Sabin, “except that they were much pinker than ours and, of course, they bloom a month before ours do.” The only problem with the trip was that it wasn’t long enough. “You could spend a week doing nothing but the Smithsonian Institute, and you still wouldn’t have covered it all,” said Matt Schmidt. “I'd like to go back and spend about a month.” My favorite thing was when we went on a sort of a scavenger hunt,” said Kris Bader. “I had to find my Representative and get a pass from him to get into the Senate. We didn’t know our way around, but getting lost was even fun.” y Some Traverse City students with some friends met in D.C.

This year’s production. Carousel, was a Rogers and Hammerstein production which received excellent, reviews on Broadway. “This year’s production was stronger in the “musical” sense than in past years' performances, said Tom Stokes, Director. “The collaboration of dance, orchestra, and singing was 80% of the musical.” Stokes directed this year’s performance and has had a large background with the musicals, having taught music for eight years, been music director for five TC musicals, and dramatic director for three. This year's music director was Cathy Baltusis, also a music teacher. Students put a lot of time and immense dedication into their own parts of the musical. Said Jim Meyers, “The pit orchestra put a lot of their own time into learning the songs. We had to learn 61 pages of music for 32 songs. Most of our practices were held after school and on Tuesday nights.” Costumes were parent, Jeanette Veeder’s and sophomore, Lisa Long's responsibility. “Parents helped out a lot with costumes,” said Long. “Most of the cast tried to get their own costumes together. Laura Flaherty was in charge of the make-up. Each of the 75 people cast required the make-up, and some had to have special effects done, such as aging, which all had to be done separately. Approximately 150 students participated in the production at one point or another. On opening night the auditorium was packed and the audience thrilled.

It doesn't take much to set up a Parent-Student Exchange Day. Student Senate has to talk to Mr. Keating to discuss the date. Then they call the bus garage and the cafeteria to notify them of the date. The one important thing that has to be done is to advertise. Dr. Ayling feels that had there been more advertisement, more parents would have shown up this year. The first time this event was held, about three years ago, there were approximately 500 parents. This year because of poor advertising, only 100 parents came. Dr. Ayling feels that with advertising, more parents will show up because they generally enjoy it. “Parent-Student Exchange has proven beneficial to relations between the school and community,” says Matt Goike.

Talent Show. Some of the most talented students of the Senior High School were seen in the two nights of the Talent Show. The purpose of the Talent Show is to earn money for three scholarships given to students. Each night was equal to one scholarship or around a thousand dollars. The first night was called off because of the weather, so the N.H.S. was without one scholarship. This will be very unfortunate for one National Honor Society scholarship recipient. There were also three individual awards given after both performances. The first place winner was David 1m, who played many memorable songs on two keyboards at once. It was not only entertaining but amazing. He won $50.00 for his excellent performance. The second place winner was Carrie Anderson whose song won her $25.00. The third place winner was Lisa Anderson. She did a beautiful dance number and won $15.00. All three of these people were wonderful, but they weren’t the only ones that were good, (everything, of course was wonderful.) There was also the beautiful duet by Matt Ellis and Mark Wyn, and the outrageous Wheel of Torture. Those were only a few of all the spectacular acts. V r v Student Senate Class The Student Senate has been a part of the Social Studies program at the Senior High School for the last seven years. It is made up of 32 poeple, nine students from each class and five officers, Governor. Lt. Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Recording Secretary. These officers are elected by the whole student body. The Student Senate works hard to master governmental and leadership skills in the school, trying to achieve goals and resolve problems for the students of the senior high. The Senate did many things that they aren't always recognized for. Some of the things the Senate did was sponsor the Christmas dance and the teacher breakfast. Parent student exchange also was called off because of snowday. They were responsible for the Outrageous Bash, the most successful dance of the 1985-86 year. “This success was due to the fact that we tried to get away from the school. We didn't use the cafeteria and we had movies, food, and dancing. “It was a party,” said senate member Chrys Martin. The senate is looking for many new ideas to help the school and is always eager to hear from the student body. The Senate should be commended for its good work. J Jon, What is wrong now? 150 151 Matt Goike tries to think out a problem. r v Nothing But Winners If happiness is really the key to success, these kids have mastered that concept. Every year, hundreds of participants gather together for a day in early May to compete in the Special Olympics. Unlike most sporting events, however, the extremely competitive attitude is absent, and is replaced by sheer excitement. This excitement is sparked by the event as a whole, since it provides these kids with another of the increasing number of opportunities to be accepted as they are; just normal, fun-loving kids. Not only is this day special for the olympians, but it is equally as exciting for the number of high school students who take part by keeping score, handing out awards, and overseeing the events in general. It is not every day that one is surrounded by so much love and caring from so many special people. There isn't a person who’s taken part in the event who won't tell you what a feeling of love and happiness it leaves in the heart. It's a feeling like no other, and can only be experienced through working with such wonderful kids. The Special Olympics has been going on for years in in the Traverse City area and is becom-ming more of a spectator sport each time around. People gather to see the smiling faces congratulating each other and sharing a bit of their abundant love for life and the people in it. Nowhere in the world can there be found so many proud and caring smiles. 152 Matt Robb was one of the many to proudly assist the Special Olympians this year. Win or lose?

The new officers who were elected at the end of last year were there to inform the interested people all about the club. During the fall season Pep Club took on many tasks such as opening the booths for football, soccer, and girls basketball. One of the many treats Pep Club gave the football team was sack lunches made by members of Pep Club after school, to be eaten on the way to away games. During the winter season Pep Club took on boys basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, and wrestling by opening the booths above the gym. During the spring season Pep Club involved itself in the indoor track meet and the all-area-dance. They were asked to open the booths for the square dancing festivities, held in the gym on the weekend of May 16, 17, 18. Pep Club's weekly activities included meetings on Monday, with sign painting after the meetings, and opening the food booths, and as always just creating school spirit all around TCHS. This year for the first time in its history Pep Club officers and Mr. Sonnemann decided to award two $500 scholarships to students who were active in Pep Club, involved in other extra-curricular activities, and who were also outstanding students. These students, Channon Jordan and Robin Lake, obviously qualified in all these areas. This year’s officers were president, Chris Ed-dinton, V-president, Tracy Hunt; secretary, Laura Flaherty; treasurer, Lisa Puffer; and advisor John Sonnemann. They all lived up to the motto “To promote school SPIRIT.” ■ J 1S4 The Pep Club Bus was always available to take any student on away trips. Tina and Tonya show off their new Pep Club jackets.

Students for International Understanding was created with this idea in mind. Every year, T.C.H.S. hosts several exchange students from around the world. SIU helps those students adjust to a new culture, while allowing them to share theirs. In addition to the usual SIU events, such as candy sales, homeland-theme parties, a dance, and a homecoming float, they also hosted a ski-weekend for area exchange students and sponsored a trip to Mackinac Island. By far the biggest event of the year for SIU, the ski-weekend brought together over thirty exchange students from fifteen nationalities for a weekend of skiing and parties, with food and ski passes donated by area businesses. The weekend was a chance for exchange students to get to know other students from their countries as well as other nations. At the end of the year, members and exchange students took a trip to Mackinac Island, spending two days together at the Grand Hotel. The trip, candy sales and other money-making activities, gave members and students a chance to get to know each other before finally saying goodbye. Said SIU president Suzy Thorpe: “I’ll be very sad to see the exchange students go. I made a lot of friends, learned a lot, and had some good times. The hardest part is saying goodbye. Members gather for 'Brazilian Night- 157 r v Model UN — How Unique One of the most unique classes in the entire high school is the Model United Nations. M.U.N. is an independent study class for which its members put in 15-20 hours of research outside of the classroom per week. The class requires no teaching in the traditional sense of the word, and is, therefore, simply directed by Mr. Shugart whose primary task is to assist the students with U.N. procedure and presentation of acquired information. Despite a simplistic description, his job is not always an easy one. The group attended three conferences this year and will, next year, make it four by adding a two day Security Council seminar in the Traverse City area. These conferences include some forty other schools with participants from various states as well as Canada and Mexico. The Traverse City group ranks in the top three or four within the state of Michigan. By taking part in M.U.N., students gain a great deal of awareness of the events which shape the world. This, in itself, makes the class worthwhile, but when debating skills, research experience and a greater ability to communicate are added, the class becomes the ultimate academic experience for those willing to devote the time. Many students who are actively involved in M.U.N. go on to join similar organizations in college and, from that, gain an even deeper view of the world. From this experience, students increase their chances for careers in law and foreign relations. The ECOSOC committee prepares to debate education as it is taught in various parts of the world.

Debaters Go To State They were very pleased with their showing in the district where they came in second by points and third by their win loss record. They also took second place in the Northern Debate League. This year's varsity team was much more inexperienced than in past years, so they were very satisfied to even qualify for the state finals. They ended with a record of 7-9 at the state tournament, only being two ballots away from the quarter finals. The top three teams were first place Mona Shores, second place Jackson and third place East Kentwood. Mr. Mike Noland started coaching varsity two years ago. “It allows me the chance to meet some great people,” he stated. “We had the second best record ever at T.C.H.S.” More students participated on this year's team than on any other in past years. “I was proud of what they achieved this year,” commented Noland. Jack Green, with a record of 16-21, and K. David Smith qualified for the John S. Knight contest. They were among 34 debators who qualifed to compete in this contest for the best individual speaking award. K.

Or, if you had to design both an original product and the means to mass product it, what would you make, and how? These were just two of the problems to be solved this year in the Olympics of the Mind, a nationwide creative problem solving activity in its third year at T.C.H.S. In the problem called “Technocrats,” the team of Tom James, Paul McClay, Lynn Piaskowski, Matt Scaer, Jordan Lindberg, Polly Rizer, and Suzy Thorpe were asked to design both a creative new product and a system to mass produce it. Their solution, called “Hidey Hands Fright Shield,” was intended to automatically protect its wearer from _______________________________________________________ scary sights by covering their eyes with little hands. The shields were assembled on a rotating production line made of five styrofoam heads. Their solution worked well enough to earn them third place at the regional semifinals at T.C.J.H. on March 22, and seventh place at the state finals held on Aptil 26 at Central Michigan University. In the problem “Treasure Hunters,” the team of David Fred, Ken Force, Chris Stretlein, Pete Den-een, Bob Green, Brian Schantz, and Brian Van-Voorst were asked to develop a system of non-verbal communication to use in guding a team member through a maze filled with valuable treasures and dangerous obstacles. Their solution earned them second place at regionals and fifth place at state.

Each student was required to get $320 worth of advertising and to sell 30 yearbooks to remain in the class. Students were busy throughout the year, working diligently, trying to meet each page's deadline. “We are the World” was chosen as the theme because it reflected many concerns of the students and their place in the future. Editor Jennifer Fistler, along with advisor John Gerhardt, worked very hard on planning the layouts of the pages, along with helping everyone with questions about their assigned layouts. In the end it all worked out satisfactorily. According to Jennifer, “The class worked great together. Mr. Gerhardt and I had planned on giving a lot more V__________________________________________________________ individual deadlines, but when we saw the class enthusiasm, we decided not to make things as we had planned.” At the beginning of the year Mr. Gerhardt said, “The class really functions as a team, and is only as strong as its weakest link. We fail to succeed according to what each individual accomplishes. There will be a good product if the class has lots of enthusiasm. Later on down the road — say 15 to 20 years from now, you’ll be able to pull out your yearbook and reminisce about 1985-86 and you will be haunted by mistakes you make now.” Yearbook was a fun and crazy class full of surprises and challenges.

The school’s society is composed of many unique groups and one, the Black and Gold, is a group that stands out. As a matter of fact, you would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated bunch of individuals. No one B Ger resembles the other and rarely do they share the same opinion or view. That’s what makes these people so special. They know they’re training for the future and they try to run the paper like they imagine Lou Grant would. The staff works with intensity of professionals. They are led by advisor John Gerhardt and Editor-in-Chief Amy Adams, in their mission to produce 12 issues in a 36 week long school year. They work like mad to get the paper out on time, every one working to meet his or her deadline. Many steps go into producing a paper such as the B G. Staff writers write as many as three to four articles to a paper. Staff photographers are given assignments and follow the many school clubs, groups, and sports teams in their travels. From that point on the responsibility lies on the editors. They must do the majority of the typing of stories into portable computers so they may be type set at the Record-Eagle. All the laying out and designing of the pages, the making of headlines, cutlines and captions also is done by the editors. The life of a B Ger is not an easy one, but is one they enjoy. They are extremely proud of the B G. Senior Chris Duffy spends time with his favorite food — junk! 166 Editor-in-Chief Amy Adams spent much time at the Record-Eagle. Mike Keser.

Bird's Eye View. v WRBL, Rocks TCHS Most people don't know that WRBL really stands for something. It stands for Radio Braodcasters League and Marty Spaulding from WTCM and Rob Hazelton from WKHQ came up with this name. When the club first started they gave it the name WTCS, but it wasn't quite what they were looking for. In order to be in this club, a person must take the radio class and be a responsible person. A person must also be able to operate radio electronic equipment. Garwood Hansen who has been in charge of it since 1962 says a lot of the members have gone into media after being in the club. He says in almost every station in T.C. there is an old student he had at some capacity. For example Dave Maxon, Rob Hazleton, and Marty Spaulding. Hansen says he has the same restrictions of music as the FCC. The members must select their own music. Their music has to be the type the general public wants to hear and what the majority would enjoy. This year there has been a wide range of music from Motley Crue to Phil Collins and from the Muppets to chickens chirping. John Yuiska, who just started second semester, has brought in a different type of music that the students seem to like. This year there are two girls, Jacqie Bull and Pam Jasinski. Doug Novak has been been in the club three years and is station manager. Hansen said he has a very good staff this year. ■ David Ringel and Jacqie Bull broadcast a show together. 166 Don Lepley does his fast smooth talking over the air.

They have had numerous functions to promote this, such as helping the Kiwanis Club with radio auction, taking a day of their time and placing Quaker Oats boxes in area stores to “Save the Children, which gave money to starving children. At Christmas time, they took time to go to Munson Hospital to visit sick children and try to cheer them up. They went to Provincial House with animals from the Humane Society for the patients to see. Also at Halloween time, they spo-sored a party at Central Elementary School for the mentally handicapped. They participated in the VASA by keeping a path clear at a crossroad. An- other project was called Phone Friend, which Third Level sponsored. All Key Club members went through a training session to be able to handle the calls that come in from kids who were home alone, and had a question about something, had an accident, were scared, or just needed to talk. This year they took an outing which was the 1986 District Key Club Convention in Grand Rapids. All the Key Clubs from different districts met and stayed at the Amway Plaza. Here, awards were presented for various achievements, and they also attended some formal dinners together. The 1985-86 Officers were President Rob Rountree, Vice-President, Secretary Lezlie Gelhardt, and Treasurer Missy Adams. Next year’s President will be Matt Groleau.

Easter Vacation The Sun N Fun In Easter Vacation what do you think of? Sun, sand, parties, gorgeous guys, or girls. Easter vacation is a time full of hype, whether you go to Florida, Europe, or just stay home. Once Christmas vacation was past, students counted the days until spring break. Some looked forward to getting away with their friends, while others looked forward to meeting new ones. Because of the terrorist attacks in Europe, not as many people went out of the country. They decided that it would be safer in the good old U.S.A., and a wise decision it was. After the long, cold winter this year, people couldn't wait to get out onto the sunny beaches. Come April, Michigan has taken over Florida. I wonder if they felt like the fudgies? Michigan people rushed to the beaches and Disney World came to life after a long winters rest. On the other side of the continent, California was having their nightly parties also. With the tourists visiting the sites throughout the state, California was another main attraction. How about a cruise? For a top luxury vacation, this would be the way to go. For others, a week-long shopping spree was the way to spend their days off. No matter where we went on Easter vacation, anywhere was better than sitting in a classroom. Typical Mexican architecture. Epcot Center's famous landmark. If the strip isn't for you, perhaps Disney World, one of Florida's this beach is more to your liking. greatest man-made attractions. One of Fort Lauderdale's finest, helping one of millions of spring vacation tourists. 173 V. 174 Trojans Win Donkey Series Let it not be said that animals roam only on wide plains and quiet forests, because on the night of April 18th, the TCHS gym, the scene of many a hard fought contest between our talented Trojans and their determined opponents, scene of the fabu-lous fanfare back in November to welcome the State champion football team, a cathedral of Traverse City sports history, welcomed once again to its famed halls and courts, a pack of asses. Or, in a more social introduction, donkey basketball. The event, arranged by the TCHS Student Senate, featured members of the TCHS Senate and Traverse City St. Francis Student Council, as well as members of the student bodies of both schools, in a mule-backed battle that took the fine art of basketball to new heights. With introductions of both players and their somewhat disinterested mounts, the classic cross-town rivalry took on new dimensions as TCHS and SF began to compete. In the first quarter, TCHS Student Senate players were up against those from TCSF Student Council. After sixteen grueling minutes of “mule play” the score was 10-4, in favor of the Trojans. In the second game, members of the student body of both TC and SF had a go at it, with the Glads winning, 2-0. The Trojan Student Senate then prevailed over the SF student body, 4-2, in overtime. TCHS Senior Kris Good was voted Most Valuable Player, as she scored 8 points for the Student Senate team. y Kris Good seems to be communicating well with her steed. V The Cafe — A Social Mecca In addition to the numerous routine occurances at the Senior High, is the daily congregation of hungry students into the cafeteria. One of the difficulties within the institution lies in bringing all of the students together at one time, such as with an assembly of some sort. Bringing food into the situation, however greatly improves attendance, as well as the overall attitude toward the surroundings. Although there are seldom more students in one place than during lunch time, it is still inevitable that a significant number of kids will leave the campus during the forty minute break. Some go on foot to nearby covenience stores while others will spend the entire morning devising a method of getting past Mr. paine and out of the parking lot to indulge in some fast foot. How a student spends his lunch period is basically up to him, therefore most will, when asked, admit that those forty minutes of freedom are what get him through the remainder of the day. The key factor which makes the cafeteria as popular as it is, is its versatility. Students can be found in “the cafe’’ at almost any time of the day. Before school and through the morning, doughnuts, coffee and juice are available to those whose morning rush didn't allow for breakfast. Others are there mainly to socialize before classes. Actually, the cafeteria is probably the most social location on campus. It is where Ms. Messing directs those too social for the library, to join those who knew they’d end up there anyway. y Megan Houlihan uses the cafe to its full potential; eating. studying, and socializing. Ramie Finch and Heather Tripp found that Taco Bell was more suited to their Senior style. 176 Among the many uses for the cafeteria this year was the Senior Breakfast. Lunch time provides a much needed break. Jenny Littlefield did recover after the 40 minute period. Michelle White! Our student governor eating in the senior building? Wre demand justice! Dave Needham definitely likes to eat; too bad he can't keep his mouth closed while he's chewing. Bus And Parking Lot As simple as the title sounds, this is where your car spends the school day. There is a simple process for enrolling your car in school. Stickers are distributed according to need. A student who is involved in school activities has precedence over all others. Family need and having a job are other reasons for being given a parking sticker. A total of 500 stickers are distributed to Juniors and Seniors, including co-op students, even though the parking lot only contains 400 parking spaces. Sophomores are excluded from this process unless given approval from the principal. Parking without a sticker is a hazardous offense punishable by two warnings and then finally a trip to the office. Cars may only be forcibly removed from the student parking lot on the command of Dr. Ayling. Cars are only allowed to leave the parking lot when given permission by the attendance office. The parking lot behind the cafeteria, the area near the band building and the teachers parking lot located next to the F and E buildings have basically the same rules as the student parking lot. Students are for no reason permitted to park in any of these lots. Mr. Gerry Payne is in charge of the lots at the Senior High and spends time each day watching over them.

V It was a busy year for the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore class officers. They were all participating in activities within their class. The Senior class officers were busily working right up til the end of the year because of graduation. They planned the Senior Party along with the parents, working on the finishing touches. They worked on the elections for next year and also on the Homecoming float, senior theme, motto, and song. This year they put together a Senior breakfast which was something new, Senior Night, and pep assemblies. “We all have our own individual personalities and we try to bring them together to make our class better’’ Senior President Mimi Spaulding. The Junior class officers worked on their homecoming float and they put on a challenge day dur- ing pep week. The most difficult project was the Senior prom, and Molly Noland said, “I would like to thank Michelle McCombs, she deserves more recognition than she gets.” The Sophomore class officers’ biggest project of the year was the Sophomore magazine sale, which made roughly around $2000. They also built a homecoming float, and helped organize pep week. The officers went out to breakfast to the Omelette Shop with Mr. Lewallen, and overall had an enjoyable year. Sophomore President Kris Hains commented, “We wouldn’t have been able to have class council without Mr. Lewallen; he's been a big help. Evey time we had a project to do, he was there. He devoted a lot of time to us and was always willing to give a ride home.” J Junior Class Officers Molly Noland. Michelle McCombs.

Magical moments shared between loved ones was the atmosphere that everyone who attended the ’86 Prom will remember. Hard work and months of preparation went into making “Magical Moments” a smashing success. Michele McCombs. Molly Noland, and many other students in the Junior Class, worked with Junior Class Advisor Mr. David Allen to make the preparations for the dance, which is traditionally put on by the Junior Class. On May 24th the gallant event began. For most people the evening started with pictures at home . . “Now honey, try to smile while you’re pinning on the corsage.” A lot of us found out it’s hard to smile when you keep poking yourself. After the photo sessions were over, dinner on the bay seemed to be a popular choice. By 7:00 p.m. the Waterfront, Bowers Harbor, Embers, Pinstead Reef, West Warf, and Windows were packed. Champaign celebrations seemed to be a popular desert before entering the Ballroom at the Grand Traverse Resort Village. Inside the Ballroom was dancing to the “Coverboys” and to a disc jockey from 98 Rock, refreshments, and pictures, all surrounded by fabulous decorations. As usual Prom turned out to be filled with Magical Moments to remember forever. Wasn’t it fun! J 182 David Needham, Matt Anderson.

What brought the team together was “Senior leadership — the seniors set good examples for the underclassmen, and were willing to get the job done.” He further stated, Those that weren’t starters knew that they were still playing an important role to the team’s success. John Pampu is an example of this. He knew that he wasn't going to start, and became the ever-important spirit booster.” Also very important to the team's success was the coaching staff. After the JV and sophomore seasons had ended, those coaches moved over tc help out the varsity team during playoffs. Rogei Wood’s “computerized defense” analyzed the opponent and coordinated the defensive team ef-fectively. Class spirit played an important role this year, and throughout the season, pep assemblies were held to maintain it. This year presented some new ideas in that area, with the “42 men and many other original presentations. Upon the team’s return from the championship game against Troy, a “welcome home” assembly took place. When Ooley made his expected speech, he picked a penny up off the floor and said, Before every game, I’ve found a penny .. and we’ve won every game! Upon hearing this, the crowd of over 3000 started showering the floor with pennies. Ooley said it wasn’t “just the power of the offensive or defensive teams that led to victory but the flexibility incorporated into each.” (fy � 1) J. Piebing. D. Gaunter, J. Pampu, C. Hathaway.

Even though the girls lost only two matches all season, undoubtedly the highlight of the season was their unexpected Regionals Championship, which was their third straight, and gave them revenge for their early season loss to Midland Dow. Holly Wilson and Chris Rose teamed to win the No. 1 Doubles Championship, which clinched at least a tie, following Kathy Miller and Erika Gravlin’s triumph at No. 2 Doubles, and then the following day, Kirsten Lutz clinched the Trojans' victory with her championship at No. 4 Singles. “What makes our teams consistent winners,” said Nykerk, “is that we always try to concentrate on fundamentals. A team can't win until their fundamental skills become basic, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve. Another thing that helps the Trojans is the summer camp and tournament sponsored by E.F. Hutton and McDonald's. Before we started that, the teams had never been so successful.” The girls saw their dual meet winning streak come to an end at 36 straight over a two and one-half season period, but by winning their last four duals, they have a good start on a new one.

The team consisted-of two seniors, eight juniors, and six sophomores and compiled a record of 0-6 in dual meets. The Trojans got off o a slow start by taking third place out of five in Grandviile. Then they lost to Benzie Central and Grand Haven. Finally a glimmer of light began to shine when a squad of sophomores took first place at the Petoskey Invitational. The group consisted of Jeff Linger who came in fourth, Chris Hooker who placed fifth and Call Cole and Matt Robb who came in ninth and twelfth respectively. It was the only time they ran as a sophomore team against other sophomores. The Trojans ended the season placing twelfth out of twenty teams ! the MHSA.4 Regionals. Troy Canaday was the first finisher for the Trojans, placing forty-first, and Greg Million came in forty-fifth. They were followed closely by Jeff Linger and Steve Fox. t Other members of the team that received varsity letteres were Matt Ellis, juniors Dave Smith, Ray Crawford, Derek Barg, Dave Grant, and Corey Frieson and sophomore Tim Gravino.

Coach Young enjoys coaching cross country because he likes coaching in small groups, one that is training for the same event or goal. Coach Young said “One thing I enjoy about coaching cross country, is that girls improvement rate is very noticeable. In cross country it may seem as though you’re competing against other athletes, but you’re really competing against yourself, and that way it’s easy to see improvement. When you’re time comes down, you know you’re doing a good job, and it inspires you to work even harder. All in all the girls cross country team had a good year, personally and otherwise. This year’s team had a pretty good season. Considering the over-all team performance, Young said, “We did About as well as we could have. The outstanding runners were Cammy Potter, Sharon Hicks, and Jennifer Cook. Each set and broke individual goals and records. Coach Young has a large interest in long distance running. His real interest started when he began coaching his first cross country team twenty years ago. “I actually picked up the sport as I went along. I picked up the sport myself quite a few years back. I’ve been working on it and building up and now I’m up to marathon level and doing quite well.” The cross country teams have always been held in high regard at the T.C.H.S. as the girls will try to keep up the expectations by training hard for the upcoming year and setting the goals for as high as they can reach.

The team’s dual match record, including J.V. and Varsity, was 24-3, with the three losses being to Elk Rapids, Ludington and East Kentwood. “I was very pleased with the team’s performance this season,” stated Coach Bob Lober. This years X’s team consisted of nineteen players, four of which were seniors, Joe Van-l Antwerp, Jim Shearer, Todd Kerr and team cap-5 tain Brett Fedorinchik. These seniors led their team to an average improvement of 3.78 strokes per match and second place in the Traverse City Invitational with a score of 339. Although the team played very well, they were unable to qualify for the state finals. “I hope to take the negative of not qualifying,” said Lober, “and turn it into positive for the next season 1 Junior Jason Bostwick had the team’s lowest scoring average of 77.9, while the team's aver-2 age was 88.4. This was Jason’s second year of having the lowest game score for the team. Jason was also the first player ever from Traverse City to be selected for the Class A All State Team. This year marked Bob Lober’s third year as head coach for the Trojan golf team. This season’s team was the largest in numbers as well as the lowest in average. “I have enjoyed working with the guys and I hope that it has been a positive experience in their lives,” stated Lober. 4 Brett Fedorinchik's face expresses the importance of his next shot.

Last year's team consisted of all seniors, leaving the '85 team with no returning players. The team members this year were on jv last year, and Falberg hoped for at least a winning season. The team had a pretty strong defense but the offense wasn't as strong as Falberg thought it could be. Even so, they had many scoring opportunities, but they just couldn't seem to put the ball in the net. During the season the team decided to have a meeting on their own. They decided they were going to work harder as a team and get it together. Well, their efforts paid off. They scored a total of 51 goals, and even though their 5 losses were the most in Falberg's 4 years of coaching, they still had an outstanding 12-5-2 record. One of Falberg'a biggest challenges was deciding who to start in the games and if he should let the players who he brought up from jv play. Falberg made some right decisions because even though the team wasn't as strong as last year's they did go to the playoffs. For the 3rd straight year, the team made it to the final 8 Class A teams in the state, losing a tough match to Okemos, 1-0. It marked the 3rd straight year they have lost in the regional finals by a single goal. As the season progressed the team matured and improved. They have gained a lot of experience. Coach Falberg is looking for an undefeated season next year and is hoping to go to the state finals, as only one starter from this year’s team graduated.

Their won-loss record was 14-8, and “that’s not bad at all,” said Coach Jim Anderson. Suzy Merchant was the only returning letter-winner, and she teamed up with six juniors and two sophomores from last year’s JV. Additionally, for the first time ever, two freshmen, Wendy Merriman and Lisa Anderson, were elevated to the varsity from the junior high program. Not even knowing their teammates’ names made it a tough beginning for these two, but when Lisa Burkholder reinjured her knee and went out for the season, both girls were able to take up the slack. “For a team with no seniors, I’m most pleased with the girls,” said Anderson. “When you look at the experience we gained, you’ve got to be optimistic about the next two years, particularly next year. The season began with the team being blown out by Livonia Ladywood, 54-24, but the team rebounded with an impressive win over Manistee and a tough one point loss to Escanaba. Two of the team’s toughest losses came in two highly contested games with always-tough Le-land, the first by a 35-29 score, and the second by a disheartening two points, 36-34. Tournament play was probably the girls’ best showing of the year, as they got revenge against Alpena with a one point victory, and then lost the District Championship game to Marquette, 56-49, in overtime.

The Trojans were also invited to the Benton Harbor tournament again this year. In the opening game, our opponent was Benton Harbor. They were a tough team and we hadn't beaten them on their court in 16 games. We led most of the game but in the last 3 minutes they staged a comeback with the help of Mark Core in for the injured Beckman, the Trojans kept the lead and won. The second game was even more of a chal-lange. Traverse City put forth a great effort, but they lost by one point to Detroit Henry Ford when Jeff Majerle missed a jump shot at the buzzer. On the better side though, Majerle was named most valuable player of the tournament, an honor well deserved.

The team consisted of all junior starters with the exception of Kim Hondorp who was a senior and captain of the team. Most of the junior starters were starters on last year’s varsity team. Coach Gerhardt said the team went into the season with the goal of being “as good as we can be.” Most of the time the team felt they approached it and did the best job they could, but there were times when they were disappointed in themselves because they didn’t feel they did their best. Getting people to play together and knowing their roles was one of the year’s goals. Coach Gerhardt felt that the team was hurt by a spotty schedule, and they let down in mid-season. Even so, the team accomplished a lot this year. Even though they didn’t win as often as they felt they should, they showed they could play well. One of their biggest disappointments was not winning the first district game they felt they should have won. In Gerhardt’s eighth year of coaching, there were three awards given to his players: Susie Merchant was voted Most Valuable Player by her teammates, Laura Holmes was Most Improved and Joanne Williams got the Coach’s Award, which is based on numerous qualification which any coach would consider to be important.

The 1986 season produced a staggering amount of All Conference skiers: Liz Chambers, Chris Chirgwin, Jennifer Dunsmore, Mollie Schwarm, Marybeth Skend el, Allison Stegenga, and a special merit going to Leslie Davison. This was Don Duo more's first year as head varsity coach after ten years of being the team’s assistant coach. “There is a lot more responsibility as head coach,” stated Dunsmore, ‘but I enjoy being more involved with the development of the team?’ This year’s seniors,' Marybeth Skendzel and Liz Chambers, received the M.V.S. and M.I.S. awards. Marybeth was honored with the M.V.S. (most valuable skier award) and Liz received the MJkS. (most improved skier award). The entire team had an outstanding year. The girls haven’t lost a meet in two years. The team was one o fthe strongest in recent years, giving a lot of themselves to the overall team effort. “1 have never witnessed a group of people more committed to their sport both in practice and on race [ day,” stated Coach Dunsmore. H I In the regional G.S., Traverse City took six of the top ten places which, to Mr. Dunsraore’s knowledge, has never happened before. In the state Finals, Mollie Schwarm took second place, Marybeth Skendzel took third place while Jennifer Dunsmore was sixth in the slalom.

T V he young Trojan “a down year if you look only at our 3 and 10 dual meet record,” said Head Coach Kd Haughn, “but there certainly is more to it than wins and losses. Even though the team as a whole did not win a lot, there are certain individuals who did exceedingly well, and there are those who will be back in the future who gained much needed experience.” Even though wrestling is considered a team sport, each wrestler competes entirely on his own, not being able to depend on a teammate for anything other than moral support. Perhaps, then, it is best to look at individual accomplishments. and Tim Lamie certainly highlighted the year by earning a 6th place finish at the State Meet held at the season’s end. By placing 6th, Tim earned All-State honors at the 155 lb. weight class, completing the year witn aj29-f record, giving him a 3 year total of 81-36.

Mandy Samuelson was fifth all around in state and also came in fourth place in the floor exercise. Michelle Lautner was successful in placing fifth in the floor exercise. This season was not one of the best because of the large number of injuries, Ta Scala and Gera-lynn Straitiff being two of the victims. The girls were able to pull together and work hard at regional and finals. The idea of successfully performing gymnastics was more important than winning with the team. This was Coach Jacobs sixth year as the gymnastics head coach. He commented that the team was larger than usual and able to get along better than any other team before. Two senior All-State academic gymnasts were Missy Goddard and Christie Crewes. Rhonda Fitzgerald was designated as the hardest worker on the team and Julie Johnson was the “Most Improved.”. The 1986 Gymnastics team had the committment and the ability to win the title.

They started out very strong, but during the season they lost a couple of key players due to academic eligibility requirements, and as a result, the team wasn't as strong, i At the end of the season, though, the team put things together and began to play well again. According to Coach Eric Guttenberg, the Trojans’ first season in the Great Northern Hockey Conference was a tough one because of the quality of the teams face. Sault Ste. Marie, Escanabe, Marquette, and Alpena are always among the 1 best teams in the state, and excellent for our program, even though the team didn’t do as well as they had hoped. The last regularly scheduled game of the year was the most memorable game. The Trojans were the first team to beat the Soo in the Soo. I They played them two times before each time losing by one goal. Another big accomplishment for the team was winning the Big Rapids tournament for the third year in a row. This year there were many outstanding players. Chris Hathaway had the leading number of goals in the league and in the state. Other valuable players this year were Joe VanAntwerp, Vic Bliss, Mary Lobdell, Terry Jones, and Mike Ripper.

The Trojans had a team of only fourteen people. When you take into account sickness, tests and other reasons, only ten people usually made it to the meets. Another reason for their limited success was their practice hours. Because the school dropped the sport, they had to raise their own funds to rent the pool. They had five hours a week whereas most schools were having up to twelve hours a week practice time. The season record was one and twenty-four but they never gave up. The Trojans were led by Greg Million, Tim Trussel and John Waslowski. The Trojan diving squad, led by sophomores DaveCrewes and Pat Robinson, did a fairly good job. All of the team made a good effort, but they could not pull it together to win their meets. Other members that had a good showing were Mark Belovich, Kent Noller, Jeff Linger and Chris Hooker.

Even though there were so many returning players the year was not as good as expected. Coach Clark said the team “had a nice blend of experience and talent and potential.” Coach Clark said the key to preparing the team better would be to have a summer camp where they could learn how one another plays so they could get a well playing team as a whole. The team did well playing against Petoskey and Cadillac. The Trojans beat them both which was a big accomplishment. These two teams are always tough and Challenging. They even won their district game. His most memorable game was when he cost the game by substituting a player illegally.

The fielding is what caused the Trojans problems as hey had more than twice as many as their opponents. It just seemed to be one of those things that couldn’t improve. “You don’t win many games when you make 10 errors,” said Junior Captain Josh Fiebing. “We even had a game where ve had 20 hits and lost.” At the awards banquet 20 players received their letter, with Tom Davidson getting his third. The team voted Tim Haney the Most Valuable Player, as he set a team record with a .465 batting average. Senior Dave Needham received the Most Improved Player Award, while Brad March received the Coach’s Award as the player who contributed the most with intangibles.

Attitudes played a large role in our success.

According to Coach Polly Meredith, the girls had great attitudes and were tremendously hard workers. The distance events, sprints, and field events all contributed significantly to the team's success, and for a change, team depth also became a positive factor. “Having four roaches was the best thing that could have happened to us,” said Coach Meredith. Bonnie Gotschall (sprints), Laurie Cook (jumpers), Ivanka Baic (distances), and Meredith (shot and discus), gave everyone ample opportunity for individualized coaching. “In track you must remember to compete against yourself,” said Baic, and the personal improvements we saw were very gratifying.” Sophomore Anne Mudgett and exchange student Satu Pitkaaho qualified for State Competition, where Mudgett finished 6th in the 3200m. run and Pitkaaho tied for 6th with a high jump of 5’3 . That height set a new school record, as did Jodi Gaff's time of 15.4 in the 100m. hurdles. Additionally, Nikki Kulik, a 9th grader competing on the varsity, set a new 9th grade long jump record of 16’1”. Mollie Schwarm was the Most Valuable team member for the second year, and she, Mudgett, and sophomore sprinter Kirsten Weisc just missed setting new school records.

Other Trojans who placed in the State Fi als, were Tim Lamie, 6th in discus and Tom C who had Hth in the pole vaulting. The Trojans owy had four home meets th season, but participated in many away ins tionals and relays. And when the Trojans said “They’re away this time,” they meant that when they traveled to the Mansfield relays, in Mansfield, Ohio. This meet involved quite a road trip for our team. The Trojans placed 12th and coach fTober was pleased with that score andfcaid the entire track team had a great time participating.

Many thankful parents put together the fabulous event as a fun-filled safe evening that everyone would remember for the rest of their lives.

But after all the years that have passed, we now can say there’s more. For you’re someone I adore. You gave me strength to find myself and you showed me how to understand about the other people that need a helping hand. You helped me to find the answers to problems that had no end. You’re not just another somebody, you’re my very special friend. You must be an angel sent down in disguise. To help me find some happiness and to make me realize, That other people have these feelings. I'm really not alone. And I should be so thankful for the place I can call my home. Thank you angel for protecting me from any type of harm, You really made me come alive when you held me in your arms. I now can say I have a goal and it's just around the bend. Thanks to a very special person I'm proud to call my friend. It is true we both are young and have many things to learn. Yes there will be more problems in life but it’s nice to have somewhere to turn. I know I'll always need you and I know we'll always care, That’s what makes our lives so special, and those feelings that we’ve shared. But for now we must go separate ways ’till the day we meet again. So always remember you are the one that is my very special friend.
