Vestaburg High’s largest area of study this year was the English department. Along with the Busi- ness department, this field offered a total of twen- ty-two different courses. Senior class and Spanish Club advisor this year was English teacher, Mrs. Pat Christensen. Humor and exciting poems and stories made her classes of English 9, Non-fiction, Research Paper, and Spa- nish 1 and II enjoyable to her students. Journalism, Short Story, Contemporary Lit, American Lit, Twentieth Century Authors, and English 9 were taught by Mrs. Cheryl Fox. She was also a Senior class advisor and has been teach- ing here for ten years. A new English teacher, Miss Beverly Kenyon, was added to the faculty this year. In her classes of Read-a-Movie, Speech, Health, English 9, and English Lit, Miss Kenyon worked with students individually, for she believed they learn more when they know they are cared about as people. English 7 and 8, Research Paper, and Yearbook were courses taught by Mrs. Betsy Rau. She be- lieved in getting her students involved in class ac- tivities and relaying her enthusiasm to them. This was her second year of teaching at VHS. A course in specialized reading was taught by Mrs. Kathy Tissue who has been teaching here for six years. Her students had an exciting time com- peting in a Guiness Book of World Records contest and a Scrabble tournament held in her class this year. 14 Mrs. Mary Jo Sayers and Mrs. Dianne Wilson made up the Business department faculty.

Golfers Jr. High Girls Swinging Shooting to Victory Driving their way to victory, the Varsity Golf team ended the season with a commendable 7-9 record. Coached by Tom Kleinhardt, the team outswung five other class “D” teams at Oscoda to bring home a 1st place trophy. Tyler Throop was voted most valuable golfer, and received an all- conference award. Gordie Jerome was voted most improved golfer. Next year the team will be rebuilding, and aiming for a winning record. The 7th grade girl cagers, coached by Betsy Rau, had a very fine season this year, racking up an 84 record. Barb Frost, an outstanding offensive player, accumulated 104 points during the season. The girls won their first two rounds of the TCAA League Tournament to advance them to the finals against Portland. They were beaten by eight points and came home with a well-deserved 2nd place. On a less optimistic note, the 8th grade ended a slug- gish season, with one win and eight losses. The girls de- veloped talent through lots of hard work and practice, in preparation for tougher competition ahead, and are looking forward to a better season next year. Coached by Betsy Rau, they were beaten by Montabella in the first round of league tournament play. 1. “Tyler, what are you doing to that mushroom?” 2.
