Senior Superlatives Each year, all members of the graduating Senior Class nominate and vote for the classmates which best represent the sixteen categories of Senior Superlatives. In some of the categories, there are more than twenty Seniors nominated, but in others, the leader and winner is usually chosen by the majority of the voters. It is surprising to find someone who is terribly upset that he or she did not get chosen to represent the Senior class in a certain category. One person who comes to mind is Lonnie McClellan, who really had his heart set on being chosen Worst Driver”. The votes were close Lonnie, but the Worst Driver won. We thought we’d mention your name, anyway. BEST MUSICIANS: Michelle Craig and Mike Perkins SHYEST SENIORS: John Brady and Audrie Little.

The answers may be used more than once, some may not be used at all ... PLEASE PRINT. Mr. Lintala's speech (made prior to each and every test.) What factors make American Government such a tough course for the Seniors;' Perhaps it is because one may not be able to graduat without successfully passing the course. Anytime a Senior student (who wishes to spend the last year at W.H.S. having as much fun as possible) is told that he must complete a ten page term paper and 33 Constitutional Articles for a graduation requirement, panic and chaos abound. Each day, students watch the morning news and take notes on important current events. Although this can be time consuming and tedious, the Seniors learn how to answer those much-dreaded essay questions on Mr. Lintala's famous tests. These tests are great practice for the students who enter college and are expected to do well. Despite all of the complaining from the students. Mr. Lintala's class if fun and exciting without being boring. Most students admit that there is never a dull moment in Government class, and if you pass Mr. Lintala's class and get to graduate, you've really accomplished something. Jack Johnston Annette Jones Seniors 11 Mercedes Quiros Tracy King Brian Kisor The place where I live is called Cuernavaca. It is about one hour from Mexico City. There are very important places in Cuernavaca like the castle of Herman Cortes, the house of Maximilian Carlota, also some ruins called Xachicalco . This has some very beautiful gardens. Also, there is a Japanese palace called Sumiya”. Now it is a beautiful restaurant and club. I came to the U.S. to live with a family and to learn and understand another culture different from my own. I also wanted to learn English, because today, it is the most important language in the world. I am living with the Craig family. My stay here is going to be for five months. I arrived here on the 19th of February and I will return to Mexico at the end of June. Wellston is very pretty and people here are pretty nice. My experiences here have all been good, and I am very glad that I made this trip. I am happy at Wellston High School; the principal, teachers, and students have all been very friendly, helpful, and nice to me. MERCEDES QUIROS Shane Mannering Chad Marquis 12 Seniors W.H.S.

Seniors appear to be busy with their schoolwork, many of them are busy preparing for college. Wellston High School has an average of 30-40 percent of its’ Seniors attending college. Compared to the national average of 40-50 percent, that's not too bad. During their senior year, the students usually take the ACT and SAT tests. There are several workshops offered around the state to aid students in doing well on those tests, and Mr. Mitch Baker can help you find one that is offered when you are available to take it. Mr. Baker also helps students find alternative ways to finance their college education. Several grants and student aid are given each year to students who otherwise could not afford to pay for college, and also athletic and academic scholarships are given by most universities. The High School Guidance Office offers a number of other services to the seniors. Mr. Baker has a large selection of college catalogues, application forms, teacher recommendation forms, and applications for grants and student aid. All in all, Mr. Baker is responsible for seeing that the students of each senior class get a proper start in life after they leave W.H.S., whether they attend the service, a job-training program, or go 0 on to further their education at college. Seniors 17 It’s not exactly as if there's all work and no play going on at Wellston High School. During the school day many students have the opportunity to participate in fun learning experiences, such as Band, Choir, Art, Home Economics, Vo-Ag, Industrial Arts and Computer Programming. Many teachers who deal with the students in other courses go to great lengths to make their classes interesting and fun. It helps you retain learned information better if you are having fun while you're learning. After school activities include sporting events, play practices, Marching Band and Opus practice. There's something for everyone at W.H.S. ABOVE RIGHT: A unicorn hangs on to Carol Cardwell's horn during Band practice.

The teachers of each floor collaborated to come up with ideas and themes. The winners of this contest were the teachers of the third floor, who dressed up like angels. (Mr. Lintala, disapproving of the idea, was forced to dress as Scrooge!) The second floor was declared runner-up of the contest, because Mr. Fyffe dressed up as Grandma, from the popular Christmas tune Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. The contest winners received a plaque, which is currently being displayed in the High School Library. Pictured ABOVE LEFT: Grandma passed out goodies to the teachers and students during the last day of the contest. ABOVE RIGHT: Mr. Carter seems to be a natural at this angel stuff.

WIHEIEE TC EAT Since the High School has an open lunch policy, students have the freedom of choosing where they will eat lunch during their half-hour lunch period. The High School Cafeteria is a popular choice during the cold' winter months, but when the weather is nice, many students leave and walk or drive to Giovanni’s or Pic-Pac. Mrs. Smith’s Dug-Out is close to the school and serves good hot food, also. One of the most popular Cafeteria lunches is pizza, and it is served at least once a week. Where else can you eat that is fast, friendly, inexpensive, and has food that tastes great? PICTURED ABOVE RIGHT: Many students eat at the Dug-Out because of its close proximity to the school and variety of foods. ABOVE: Betty Brooks and Mel-vina Burke, two of our school cooks, begin to prepare school lunches early in the morning. Today they are making pizza! LEFT: Lunchtime is always fun in the Cafeteria.

More and more students begin to collect comic books each year, and it has been reported by some that the W.H.S. collectors have increased by as much as 200 percent. Some of the more serious collectors have considered opening a comic book store to continue to work on their collections during the summer months, but taxes and high starting costs have discouraged them, but only temporarily. Todd Madden, known by some as the Kingpin” of the comic book trade, has a huge collection consisting of a wide variety and age of books. He has nearly 2,200 comic books in his collection, with an approximate value of $8,200. Most students who collect comic books meet in the High school cafeteria early in the morning, mostly to trade and shop for bargains. Some of the more popular places to shop for comic books in Wellston are Fruth Pharmacy, Brenner's Key Market, and Ward’s Drugs. ABOVE.

For those very special ballgames, a student Pep session is held in the High School Auditorium. A new craze which began on College Campuses, hit Wellston High School this year. That craze is called The Wave. At WHS Pep Sessions, everyone does The Wave. The Spirit Award was won by several classes this year during these Pep Sessions. Students not only were standing and cheering for the team, but were wearing matching T-shirts, and Blue and Gold faces to show which class had the most school spirit.

The kind of teacher's pet we are referring to are not favorite students, but laboratory animals which are used as instructional materials. These pets become a perpanent part of the classroom, and are fed and cared for by the students. Some teachers allow their students to bring in these animals, while other teachers bring them in themselves. During the spring, Miss Evans' room looks like Noah’s Ark, because many students use animals for their Science Fair projects, and others just bring them in to brighten up the classroom. Mr. Finch has a large collection of fish, including piranhas, which are growing larger all the time. Mr. West has a snake, and even the girls don't seem to object to her. All in all, the teacher's pets in Wellston High School are a valuable part of many classes. They are liked very much by the students, as is evident in their willingness to take care of them. More importantly, the pets actually serve an important part in the learning process. ABOVE LEFT: Miss Evans holds a baby chick which her students hatched in an incubator.

Freshmen 33 STUDY HAUL NUT JUST aV DIACE TC WASTE TIME At Wellston High School, Study Hall is offered each period to those students who cannot find another class to take during a particular period. Mrs. Donna Kisor. who has been Study Hall Monitor at W.H.S. for years, has seen and gotten to know almost each student who has attended school at W.H.S. Study halls are held in the High School cafeteria, the Auditorium, and Music Lab. Students are allowed to have only two Study Halls a day, but there are a few exceptions. (There are cases where students are removed from classes because of behavior problems.) Students are allowed to leave Study Hall to do makeup work for their classes, or to work on special projects, provided the Office has granted permission. Alot of students are chosen to be Teacher's Aides or Office Aides, and Mrs. Kisor feels that this is the most beneficial way for a student to utilize his or her Study Hall time. Mrs. Kisor is convinced that students should be given a little responsibility, and that many teachers could benefit from having a student aide. Study Hall used to have the reputation as being a Holding Pen for kids with nowhere to go. but now it gives the students the chance to become more responsible citizens if they are chosen by a teacher to become an aide. More teachers should utilize this opportunity to have an extra helping hand in the classroom. ABOVE RIGHT: Mrs. Donna Kisor has been running the Study Hall class at Wellston High School for years.

BELOW RIGHT: The Wellston crowd enjoyed the game from pretty good seats, and the weather was perfect for the game. For the First time ever, the Baseball and Softball teams and Marching Band and Choir were invited to attend a Cincinnati Reds game as honorary guests for the day. (Sunday, April 21st.) The event became very important to every citizen of Wellston, because it was the largest organized group to ever attend a Reds game. There were over a thousand Wellston citizens at the game that day, and the Reds had only 800 people in one group before. Everyone was excited as the trip began, but the best part of the trip was when the Wellston students walked onto the Field and everyone cheered! The Wellston ball teams were honored with an award for their dedication and participation. THE CHICKEN led the Wellston students in the Wave , and the team was able to sit near Marge Schotts, the owner of the Reds. And of course, the day was more exciting because the Reds won the game when Eric Davis stole Home. An invitation was printed on the scoreboard for all people in attendance to come to visit Wellston during the OHILLCO DAYS festival in the Fall. 56 Freshmen Shannon Riley Randy Robson Rocky Ross Matt Salmons Scott Scharfenberger D.G.

The team earned a total of 636 points during the season. Miss Evans, the team coach, called this years’ team AWESOME. Their last seven games were won in only two matches. Teamwork wins was Miss Evans' motto, and it certainly worked, for the WHS Reserve Spikers were the best in the Conference. Their overall league record was 17-1. These girls play hard, practice seriously, and place alot of importance on winning as a team. As Varsity players next season, they should continue to be winners. Eighth Grade 59 TEN IDaVTS ce icy ICCaVIOS Any school day is more exciting when there is a chance that school might be dismissed early because of snow. This school year will be remembered as the year we had the Blizzard of ’85”. There was a 10 inch snowfall, but drifts reached four feet in some areas, and the roads were too icy for buses to travel, for this reason, school was dismissed early twice, and was cancelled for ten days. Two of those days were in December, and the other eight were in January and February. We used our five calamity days, and the other five had to be made up. Students wait for buses when school is called off early during state-wide snow emergency. 40 Eighth Grade Angie Ervin Brent Ervin Kelly Ervin Troy Ervin Bill Farley Tony Faught Jerry- Floyd Desi Freeze Shannon Fulton Amy Ghearing Chad Gilliand Billy Gilliand Brenda Goheen Connie Good Barbie Goodson Jim Graham Danny Greer Allan Hammond Anna Hammond Shannon Henry Vanita Hill Laura Hoctor Ted Hollingshead Steve Howell Erica Huff Randall Hummell Howard Jeffries Danny Jaycox Angie Jarvis Robbie Hummell Nikki Jerzak Teddy Johnston Mike Kharoufeh Brian Kilgour Kendra Kimbel Kim King Lenitta King Sean Kirby Brent Kisor Fred Kisor Kim Kisor Mike Lambert Angie Leach Tom Leach John Lewis Shawn Lewis Charlene Lloyd Tommg Long Eighth Grade 41 Linda Longworth Vicky Long worth Libby Lott Wendy Loudermilk Kevin Massie Eric McCarter Kyle McCarty Lonna McClellan Jeff McCormick Paula McFadden Tiffani McGinnis Lisa McGhee Elziabeth Norris Elaina Newnes Debbie Mulhern Dianna Milliken Chad McKnight Stephanie McKenzie Angie Ousley Mike Pellitier Tawnya Perkins Elwood Rawlins Chip Rayburn John Reed Tawnya Rife Lori Rice Christy Riley Bcrnie Rittcnhouse John Rogers Tammy Rose Audra Ross Amy Rupert Jonna Shepard Teresa Shook Don Shover Michelle Skaggs Becky Sims Angie Smith Jason Smith Melvin Smith Lisa Snyder Mary Beth Souders Eric Spearry Angie Spencer Betty Jo Stacey Dan Stewart Russ Stewart Teresa Storms 42 Eighth Grade GEY BEADY NGW, ••SWISH This year at the Junior-High level, fluoride treatments are offered to those students who would like to take care of their teeth and prevent cavities. Once each week, the school's Nurses' Aide, Mrs. Linda Smith, travels from room to room with fluoride treatments for those students who have parental permission and have signed up for the treatments in the fall. By swishing” for one minute, once each week, the fluoride helps strengthen the enamel of the teeth to prevent cavitites. Many Jr. High students participate in this program. The fluoride program is offered to all elementary students and the Junior High students. The school system hopes to expand this program within the next year to include High School students. Studies have proven that by treating teeth with fluoride once a week, the likelyhood of cavities forming is drastically reduced.

This tradition began a few years ago, and the enthusiasm has been so overwelming, that each day has been given its own significance. Homecoming, 1984, we observed Punk Day, Tie Day, Camoflauge Day, Clash Day, and Blue and Gold Day. The themes for each day are changed from year to year to prevent repetition, but each year, Friday remains Blue and Gold Day, which is the day every student shows his or her spirit by wearing the school colors. A contest is held each day of Spirit Week during lunchtime, and there are winners chosen from the High School and Junior High levels. Spirit Week is sponsored by the WHS Student Council.

It consists of a group of 8th graders and one seventh grader who meet in room 116 after school to write simple paragraphs, essays, poems, and stories. They decided to publish a journal once a month dedicated to a different theme each issue. By the end of the school year, the group had published five different magazines. PENPUSHERS has artwork, fables, myths, legends, and even Shakespeare.

They listen to music during every spare moment . . . but they also enjoy making it. At W.H.S., our Music Department consist of very dedicated teachers who have talents of their own that they share with young people. Why else would these teachers spend so much of their free rime working with their students? Our High School Marching Band has won several awards this year, as has OPUS, a special Show Choir of talented students. The High School Choir performs at all of the musical assemblies, and this year, ALL of the music students travelled to Cincinnati to perform at a REDS game. We are very proud of our talented, hard working, musicians. We appreciate all of the time and effort that you have put into your practices and programs for our enjoyment. Keep up the good work, and we will forever be your fans! Music 6} Band Continues To Grow And Improve 1984-85 was the comeback year for the W.H.S. Marching Rockets. Two new additions were put on the field this year; a field commander and a flag corp. Many people were skeptacle with Mr. Shumate's decision to add these projects to the band. Despite the criticism, the decision paid off. The band had the longest and one of the best they’ve ever had. The show had a total of 18 maneuvers and consisted of four songs plus a percussion feature. It went over very well with the crowds. Some of the band’s accomplishments in 1984: 2nd place — Class C — Jacson Co. Apple Festival Parade.

The many months in between were filled with practices, performances, and competitions. It is quite understandable that the WHS band is getting better and better each year. Not only are they entering more events, but they are also bringing home more trophies and honors. The Portsmouth East competition was everyones favorite, for the band placed third overall, and our very special Field Commander, Mary Ann Scurlock, placed first, regardless of class. After an Appreciation Concert which was held in February, our bands traveled to Athens High School for a Concert Band Competition. Our High School Band received a rating of 2 (excellent) and the Junior High Band received a 3 rating (good). During the Spring Quarter, a student teacher from Ohio University, Mr. Rungi, helped Mr. Shumate and Mr. Mclntire put together the exciting Spring Concert, for which the bands received rave reviews. The highlight of the spring was ordering new uniforms for next year's marching season. Not only will the band sound fantastic, but they will look great as well. PICTURED ABOVE.

Opus XIV members started their year off early with Opus camp which was held at the end of July at Canter's Caves 4-H Camp in Jackson County. The location and atmosphere proved to be very suitable for a full week of hard work. A typical camp day for an Opi is a busy one. The day begins at 7 a.m. with the entire group participating in a Jane Fonda Aerobics workout session. After breakfast, group vocals, choreography sessions, lunch, sectionals, vocals, and supper, the group has a run through session of the day's activities. Opus Camp is the building block for the year to come. In one week’s time, the group creates choreography to compliment the songs which they will be performing during the next school year. The new members learn quickly what is expected of them as an Opus member, and each one is encouraged to participate in creating choreographic movements for the group. The week at camp was completed after the group staged a performance for the community of Wellston and a group of children from Children's Hospital in Columbus. Practice resumed as the school year began, and the group had already been scheduled for several jobs. Opus performs many times during the school year, and several of their performances fall on school nights. Each member of Opus must be responsible enough to appear for performances, yet complete all required school work. It sometimes seems that Opus is the top priority for these students, especially when they are preparing for a competition, but the director, Miss Nodruff stresses academic excellence as well as perfect performances. That is why Opus and the Music program are such an important part of our school. PICTURED ABOVE: Opus XIV jingle through the ages during the Charleston era.

Annual Spring Sing Based On American Favorites Each year. Senior Choir starts fresh with new faces, talents, and goals. Miss Nodruff tries to bring out the best qualities of each member; diction is polished, mouths are opened, breathing is controlled, and many other assets are exercised. The experience one receives in Choir helps in the classroom and other situations. Altogether, the things you receive from being a member of the Choir are measured by the amount of effort that you put into it. We've all heard Miss Nodruff say, Every practice is a little performance. Each year, the Choir performs during the Veteran's Day Assembly, a Christmas Concert, and also during Rotary luncheons. All of these shows are topped off with a Spring Sing concert at the end of the school year, and the final performance is during Graduation. Much can be said for the many practices in which the Choir members strived for perfection. During this school year, many new people became involved in helping with choreography, performing solos, and the staging and lighting for Spring Sing. Although this event is a time to rejoice for all of the new things that were learned during the year, it is also a sad time in which we say good-bye to the Seniors. They were our leaders, our teachers, and our friends. Thanks so much for your contributions to the Senior Choir!

Spring Sing 71 During the course of the school year, several activities take place that are usually (but not always) annual events. These activities are not only for the entertainment of the students, faculty, and public, but also serve educational purposes. Many students are involved in the planning, publicity, fund-raising, and advertisement aspects of these activities, and learn alot through their experiences. It is not a requirement to hold activities during the school year, but it is nice that we get to participate in so many fun projects. All of this could not be possible without the careful planning and preparation of many organized students and advisors. 72 Activities Activities 73 Annual Homecoming Dance Success 'IF EVER YOU’RE IN ABOVE, LEFT: Mr. Mitchell Baker presents Queen Kelly Mullen a gift, on behalf of the W.H.S. student body.

The dance took place on Saturday, October 13th, and was held at the High School Cafeteria. The room was brightly decorated in the colors of burgundy, pink, gray and white. The music for the evening was provided by Chuck Ewing. The 1984 Homecoming Queen, Kelly Mullen, was crowned during the half-time ceremonies at the football game (W.H.S. vs. Federal Hocking) the previous evening. Jody Smith Crowned Sweetheart Queen March 1, 1985, was the date of the annual Sweetheart Dance. The dance is generally held the weekend prior to or following Valentine's Day, but this year was held two weeks later because of inclement weather. This year's dance began at 8:00 p.m. and lasted until 11:00. It was held in the High School cafeteria and was sponsored by the Junior Class. Jody Smith was crowned during the dance, and will reign as Sweetheart Queen for 1985. Tina Massie was the first runner-up.

Sweetheart Dance 77 Faculty Stomps The Seniors In Annual Fund-raiser The annual Senior-Faculty Basketball game was held on March 21st this year in the High School auditorium. The proceeds of this game always go to the Junior Class to be used for the Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom. The Junior students, under the direction of Mrs. Smith, do all of the planning and organizing prior to the game, but the Seniors participate as well. They are the main attraction for the day, as they battle it out on the court with the members of the Faculty team. This year's game was rather close at the end, but sometime during the first five minutes of the game, the scoreboard read Seniors — 50, Faculty — 2. Obviously, someone pushed the wrong buttons! The Faculty was most proud of the fact that Mr. Fyffe did not earn any technical fouls during the course of the game. The Seniors were very good sports during the game, and since this game was played as a fund-raiser, the object of the game was to have a good time while on the court, and to make the Teacher-Team look as silly as possible. The players, cheerleaders, and fans had a very enjoyable afternoon, but decided not to schedule a re-match for the evening, despite popular demand.

The last drama performance by Wellston High School students was in 1982, But this year, a renewed interest by students, several faculty members, and helpful townspeople made possible the return of the school play.

The city of Wellston was no exception, for their teachers were also honored on this day. During the morning classes, Mr. Baker and the building reps passed out carnations and apples to all of the teachers at the high school. The WHS Student Council purchased the corsages for all of the teachers. Many of the teachers met for lunch in the high school Library for a salad bar luncheon and apple pie. To top off the entire day, the School Board invited all of the teachers from the Wellston System to a banquet held in the cafeteria that evening. Each Principal presented the teachers from their building with a gift. The entire day was a success, and the teachers really enjoyed the special attention which they received on Teacher Day, U.S.A. 82 Teacher Day Science Fair Several Winners Sent To District SCIENCE FAIR WINNERS: TOP LEFT — (SEATED) Monica Ashley, Hyper-activity and Sugar ; Heidi Fyffe, Athletics and Sugar”; and Julie Bennett, Chickens (STANDING) Beth Swackhammer, Chickens ; Jenny Bush and Laura Hocter, Hydroponics”; Tammy Winters Plant Growth ; and Angie Bobo, Paper Making .

With much help from Mr. Doug Griffin, it seemed a snap to transform the gym into a jungle. Actually, it took alot of students and many hours to make the place resemble a jungle. All of the hard work paid off because we were all in a jungle at the Afterparty. The dance started at 1 o' clock P.M. and lasted until 4 in the morning. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. Many of the students went out to breakfast afterwards. Freddie Kendrick, a local policeman, and many teachers helped serve the food to the students. This years' refreshments consisted of pizza and soft drinks. The entire evening was a success! PICTURED ABOVE, LEFT: We figured out who the unidentified camo man was . . . Boo Aleshire. ABOVE.

First Annual Senior Breakfast And Class Day May 22, 1985 was Senior Day at Wellston High School. It began with a breakfast which was for Seniors only, and was followed by Graduation practice. After a long lunch, the Seniors returned to present the rest of the student body with their Class Day assembly. Senior Day came about after the State Superintendent mandated that all Seniors, statewide, would not be dissmissed from the final week of classes, which had been tradition for years in the past. Since the class of 1985 was the first class to have to serve their last week as a Senior in school, the Principal of W.H.S., Mr. Baker, scheduled many activities to entertain the Seniors before their graduation.

The Senior members of the choir sang We Are The World , a song that they chose. The Confirmation of the Graduates was made by Mr. Harry Gray. The Choir sang the Wellston Alma Mater. The Benediction was given by Rev. Carl Minter. The Recessional was played by Shawn Wonders. As soon as the graduates were out of the auditorium, the caps were thrown skyward. On behalf of Wellston High School, CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES!!! Graduation 95 DUNN Organizations are an integral part of the education process at Wellston High. Many teachers are advisors of organizations which are affiliated with their classes. Students who are involved in extra-curricular organization activities look forward to earning money for various causes, either for donations to those who may be less fortunate than they are, or to be used to purchase special supplies, or even to be used to finance a special event, such as a school dance or field trip. By participating in an organization, a student learns how to raise money and manage it wisely in order to successfully achieve a special goal. He or she also learns to work with many others as a team, in order to complete important assignments. We have included the school aides in this organization section, even though they are not money-making groups. But through their special efforts and talents, this school is much more organized”! All of the organizations at WHS should be commended for their time, effort, and special attention that they put into the activities that take place at our school. Without your participation, our school year would not be as exciting, and much after-school time would be wasted. Organisations 97 This is the first time in several years that Wellston High has had an Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook. Being an editor for a large volume such as this yearbook means putting in many long hours of work. Each and every day is filled with important announcements to listen for, and activities which will happen only once during the school year. These things must be covered immediately, or they are forgotten. So, you see, to be the editor of the X-RAY is not just a title; it means donating all of your efforts to a goal which you wish to accomplish, and making sure that you are doing the best job that can possible be done. Last summer, I was sent to Dennison University to a yearbook camp sponsored by Josten's, our publisher. At camp, I learned to put the yearbook together correctly and also how to organize and run a staff. My education was not meant to prepare me to make the entire yearbook by myself, but to delegate responsibility to other staff members, while coaching them along. We had many meetings throughout the school year for this very purpose. All of our staff members are the very best people in the world. They attended alot of meetings on Saturday mornings and also their lunch breaks here during the school day. They worked after school and in the summertime to complete these pages before important deadlines. These people rallied together when times got sticky, and we all were mad at each other or picking on one another . . . somehow we ended up remain -ing friends through all of this! I'd like to thank also, Miss Shumard, because without an advisor we would not have been so organized. She made sure that we were getting our work done, and also that these pages were top-quality before being sent to the plant for publication. She also made sure that we were earning enough money to pay for your yearbooks when the bills were coming in. Many thanks to everybody who helped out the staff in many various ways! The Wellston Sentry Mr. Lintala Mr. Reichert Mrs. Smith advisors and coaches Mrs. Sis Baker Miss Evans Mr. Jerry Rice Everyone who bought a yearbook, our patrons, and most of all, our advertisers!

Organization 105 SPORTS Some of our teams had winning seasons, and some of them lost a few games; some of the players were excellent, and some of them didn't get to play as often as they'd like. Athletics at Wellston High School are an important part of the learning processes of our students ... from the participants to the spectators, the student body needs ATHLETICS. Through athletics, our student have learned how to participate in a game as a team. They learn how to count on one another for support and help, and they learn how to use their bodies to their full potential. Perhaps they become a little more responsible by learning to show up for each practice on time, or returning their uniforms at the end of the season. They learn the rules and regulations of the game, as do the spectators. High School sports can help develop our students in many positive ways. Our school is very lucky to have so many willing and cooperative coaches and athletes in its sports 106 Sports programs. Sports 107 CHEERLEADING: more than yelling at Ballgames Cheerleaders are an important part of the W.H.S. student body and all athletic events. In order to be chosen as a Wellston High School cheerleader, a girl has to demonstrate spirit and pride for her school. She must be of good character and have a good attitude towards her teachers and peers. She also must be capable of performing strenuous stunts, and have a high energy level in order to keep active during an entire ball game. Cheerleaders are expected to maintain a high academic average. One week prior to cheerleader tryouts in the spring, a clinic is held at the High School to help teach all interested girls the cheers necessary for tryouts. The judges at tryouts are usually College cheerleaders or other cheerleader advisors from the area. After the Spring Tryouts, the lucky ladies who have been chosen to be cheerleaders for the following school year begin their moneymaking projects, which will help pay for new uniforms and camp. There are several advantages to becoming a cheerleader. Besides being able to attend all of the ball games and watch without paying, being a cheerleader can help you build your confidence. The physical activity is also very good for your health. — Story By Gwen Wood VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: TOP — Marnee Dunfcc and Kelly Baker. STANDING — Cindy Aeh. Marsha Gee, Chris Kuhn, and Dawn Angles.

The players finally had a chance to show their stuff in a State Championship tournament, and that they did very well when they defeated Elyria Catholic during the summer championship semi-finals game. Their next game was against Bellvue, which was for the state championship, and they were unfortunately, defeated. The best team did not win this game, for our men from WHS were much better players. It was difficult for our guys to accept a second place trophy, but very exciting too, for they did make it to the finals. We are very proud of you, men, and hope to watch you participate in another state finals game next year. We hope your season was as rewarding to you as it was for your fans, who traveled all over to watch you play! We are so proud! PICTURED ABOVE RIGHT: THE Mi WINNING ROCKET BASEBALL TEAM!

Reserve Spikers Win The TVC VIHS 8E% 1984 TVC CHAMPS The Reserve Volleyball team did a bang-up job this year, winning practically all of their games and grabbing the TVC title for themselves, and earning a reputation that will cause all of the other teams to shake in their court shoes next season. Under the direction of Coach Sandra Evans, the Reserve Spikers racked up a record of 17 1 in the Tri-Valley Conference and an 18-2 overall season record. Thirteen out of their twenty games were won in only two matches, and they scored 636 points during the entire season. Miss Evans is a very superstitious person, and the fact that the reserve team consisted of 13 players made her a bit uneasy, so she counted herself as the 14th player. Their loss against Jackson occurred during their thirteenth game. After the team overcame the thirteenth game, they went on to win the rest of their games. So what will happen to the Reserve Spikers next season? Hopefully, they will continue to lead the league in the number of games won, only as a Varsity team. Miss Evans will coach these girls as Varsity players, too. We are all looking forward to next year's Varsity Spikers becoming the best team in the TVC!

Following a much better season, the girls won only two of their games, and struggled very hard to finish the season without losing all of them. Individually, the players have had much better records, and the team did have great hopes to do very well. As a team, they just couldn't quite get it together.

The WHS Track team had a very successful season this year, and many of the team members brought home individual honors from various meets. The team earned runner-up honors during the Tri-Valley Conference meet, runner-up honors in the county championship, 4th place in the T.V.C., 3rd place in the Sectionals, first place in the county championship (by the girls' team), and Class AA Sectional honors (girls' team). Coach Brian Lintala also accompanied five boys and three girls to the Class AA Regional Track meet.

Track 121 Golden Girls Runners-Up In TVC The Wellston High School softball team honored its spectators with a grand-finale win over Meigs, which captured the west division of the TVC title for the team. This took place towards the end of the season, after an upsetting loss against Thornville-Sheridan. T-S just happened to have the fastest pitcher that Coach Mullen has ever seen in all of his years of coaching. The Golden Girls handed the Meigs’ team its’ first ever loss in a TVC league game, since they joined the league two years ago. Meigs did go on to capture the East division title, and beat Wellston in the tournament game, making the WHS lady Rockets the runners’-up in the league. It was a difficult loss for our team, but we are still very proud of them for their hard work and efforts. Kim Kimbel, Jody Smith, and Annette Jones, were the All-League players in the TVC Conference from WHS. It was the second year for Jody and Kim, and the first year for Annette. Great job, girls!

Girls' Basketball 125 Football The 1984 Football season began with a clean slate and a new head coach, Mr. Bob Strait, who came to us from Chillicothe. Coach Strait has worked at Wellston High School before; both as a coach and a teacher. He taught High School Social Studies here in the early 60's, and must have some fond memories of WHS, because he graciously accepted the Head-Coaching position when it was offered to him. As with any new season featuring a new coach, a lot of learning must take place before that perfect season happens. Unfortunately, the winning combination just seemed to elude the Golden Rockets during the season. Even though our team did not record many victories, the players went into each game with renewed effort and determination that we can only term a championship spirit . It is this spirit of hope and dedication they gave us that will be undiminished by time. We may have gone down, but we went down fighting . . . this Rocket legacy challenges all of us to do the same, now and in the future. PICTURED BELOW. RIGHT: COACHES: Assistant Coach Doug Griffin.

Conditioning didn’t begin until the end of August, which made the season seem to be even shorter. The team was very competitive and made alot of progress. The Girls’ Team finished very well, and Roxie Frisby received an M.V.P. award at the T.V.C. Invitational. Roxie finished first at the meet, with Pam Stewart placing second, and Heidi Fyffe placing third. With a season full of great practices and some upcoming new talent, next year’s team is hoped to be a real winner in the league. Good luck, runners!

The 1984-85 Varsity Basketball team was young and inexperienced, but that didn't keep them from trying their hardest to win games. Unfortunately, their efforts earned them only one win, but they didn't really have a losing season, afterall. The experience and confidence that they gained playing as a team shall hopefully, carry them through the rest of their seasons together and result in some wins. It takes four or five seasons to truly implement a great program after you take over a coaching position, said Coach Griffin, when reflecting upon last year’s season. I can't complain about their performance as players, because they always worked hard during practices and games, and did everything that I ever asked them. Coach Griffin went on to say that before each practice, he and his players sat down together in the locker room and went over the daily practice schedule and voiced their opinions and concerns of the team, and that this factor helped them all grow closer as team members. He said that he grew to love this team, and was very proud to have been their coach. When asked to summarize the season, Coach Griffin said that it had been a success, because the players did learn and improve throughout the season. They were much better players during the second half of the season. They lost to Meigs by only three points, and that team was ranked first in the league. When they lost by a margin, it was because we had to foul in order to stop the clock. Many of our games were close until the last two or three minutes. Winning may be the most important factor of participating in a sports program, but learning to play well and lose gracefully is also important. For this reason, we know that the WHS Varsity Basketball squad had a successful season. 130 Basketball Reserve Basketball KNEELING: Rob Ervin. Brian Rippeth, Kelly Perkins.

At the beginning of the season. Coach Mike Wood remarked that he knew the team would have a difficult season, but that all players would have to concentrate on rebuilding the team. Most of the players had not had much of a chance to compete in matches last year, so the experience was quite new and awkward at first. However, the Rocket Tennis Team did manage to surprise us with a few very important wins. Only three team members graduated from the 1985 team; Brian Manring, who was the number one singles player, and Becky McManaway and Roxanna Smith, who both played doubles. Since the underclassmen members had the opportunity to compete this year, we are very hopeful that next season, we will be able to enjoy a strong, winning season from the Wellston Tennis Team. im TENNIS TEAM MEMBERS: KNEELING — Adam Massie, Jason Winters, Randy Carroll, and Kelly Dixon.

The team had only one returning letterman, and a new coach, which made it necessary for all of these W.H.S. golfers to work much harder than ever. The team traveled to Mason, West Virginia, for the T.V.C. tournament. The team Finished sixth in the League and tenth in the Sectional tournaments. Louis Walsh, the only returning letterman. finished in the top seven in the league. GOLF TEAM MEMBERS: Mr. Tom Reichert, coach, Patty Stewart, Albert Hall, Allen Hall. Tom Roberts.
