KEEP , you guys, admit it. How many of you flipped this book over, two or three times to figure out where to begin? Maybe you even scratched your head, got a dumb confused look on your face and said, “This book is ‘OFF THE WALL’!” After a few minutes you finally decide to just take the plunge and dive into ’87 not “TOTALLY” knowing what you’re in for. Isn’t that what life’s really all about? Not knowing what you’re in for and still having to make a decision? For example: How many times have you gone home with so much homework you didn’t know where to start? Or how many times have you had to clean your room and decided to leave it messy rather than figure out where to begin? Now, is this all starting to ring a bell? If you were forced to make the choice of staying home those weekday nights doing homework, or cleaning your room, you may have missed out on the sports events. How many of you even knew the JV girls’ basketball team ended their outstanding season with a 17-2 record? Or how about our varsity football team, which achieved success not measured by the scoreboard, but by personal victories. Did you know our varsity softball team started their season being ranked 3rd in the state? If you made the decision to do homework you really haven’t missed out because we’ve captured all this and more for you scholars in our sports section. Not only will you read about sports on this side of the book, you’ll also read about classes and community. So you think you made the right decision choosing the “Totally” side to start with and actually you did, but you didn’t. Do you understand what I mean? For example: How many of you have sat in the classroom with a test in front of you and spent 20 minutes of the 30 minute period trying to decide which answer is the best, because both of them are correct? Only to find out later either of them would have been correct. Now do you under- stand or am I continuing to confuse you? If you don’t understand, don’t worry we will refresh your academic memory on page 32a. Well if you think you’re confused now, wait until you reach our community section. What do you mean how could you possibly have to make a deci- sion in a town the size of Vestaburg? Do you realize on April 6th that the community had to make a de- cision that would effect the future of many stu- dents? You also have to make an important decision to pay close attention or to actually ignore the fan- tom phinger warnings. Whatever you decide could be fatal. What do you mean you’re tired of making decisions? I thought all teenagers loved to make their own decisions. Don’t stop now because you’ve got a lot of fun in front of you, but remember you are “Totally” in control, so you decide ... ???????? Uh, I don’t know. I guess I’ll just keep going ...

OUT OF MY WAY! Second year starter and fourth team leading score, sophomore McQueen makes a fast break after stealing the ball from the opposing team. they’re breeth tsking a big part of our worl Hey. This is totally great! You’re still with us. Wait till you read this sports section! You’ll get an up and down look at our sports teams while still receiving the facts. Remember the game the JV football team played against the Montabella Mustangs? We were knee deep in water, (not really water, but due to strict rules placed on this book, we are prohibited from saying what they were really playing in.) How about the newly formed freshman basketball team who traveled to most of their games in parents’ vehicles and four times were the opening act of the JV varsity contests? Then there was the 7th grade girls’ basketball team who often dribbled off their feet, yet rebounded their way to a history making, record breaking season. Who will ever forget Beth Hassenzahl’s famous granny free throw shots? Speaking of famous, those of you who succeed in high school may go on to play professionally. What happened in the big leagues this year? The Mets waited until the very end making for a very exciting four games to three win World Series over the Boston Red Soxs. If you were both a Mets and Giants fan, you had double the fun this year after the Giants beat the Denver Broncos 39-20 in the Super Bowl. Traveling across the country, everyone waited in anticipation for the middleweight WBC championship Fight between Marvelous Marvin Haglar and Sugar Ray Leonard. Haglar was sure pick to win the twelve round fight but in a split decision Sugar Ray upset the champion taking the belt back for himself. And ... in case you like smut, we found the following tidbit in THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER: In 1916, Cumberland College of Tennessee was defeated by Georgia Tech, 222-0. At halftime, they were down 126-0 and for the game, gave up 32 touchdowns and 968 yards. Believe it ... or not! 4a Sports
