The class of 86 transformed the gym into a sparkling nighttime wonderland. Coronation, highlight of the evening of April 20, 1985, found King John Twining and Queen Jean Fleischman crowned. Cameras flashed as the king, queen, and court royalty danced to Lights”. Life-like images of New York City skylines covered the walls of the gym while a city bridge of supports and streamers served as an entrance. Creating a city park scene, a white lattice work fence surrounded an area while a small wooden bridge and a flowered archway led into the park. Park benches, trees, tables, and a flowing fountain complemented the park scene. Prom of 85 was a huge success due to the combined effort of the class of 86. 42 1985 Junior Prom Court — Front Row: Jennifer Breidel and Jim Szymanski; Jean Stuber and Andy Lyga; Stacy Talcott and Rick Muellcnberg; Lori Strasser and Rob Smith.

Monday, October 14, saw many students parading through the halls in sleep wear and kindergarten attire. Tuesday's '50's day showed the brawn and beauty of black leather and bobby socks, while Wednesday exhibited a group of punkers. On Thursday, formals as well as grub garb was worn. Concluding the week was the traditional “black and orange, hat and glasses day. Activities peaked Thursday night, with the Mr. West Salem pageant, a bon fire, tug-of-war, egg hunt, and the annual powder puff football game. Spirits rose Friday as classes awaited judges' decisions, while still more contests were held. Sophomores earned first place in the air band competition, as well as first place on their window design. The class of 1986 grabbed top honors in the hall decoration and float competition with the theme Shake, Rattle, and Roll.” Juniors took first in a majority of the dress-up days, while the freshmen accumulated their only victory in the ice cream drop. Friday's pep rally was followed by a parade in the rain and a football loss to Westby, 39 to 21. The week came to a close with the crowning of Queen Michelle Hartman and King Larry Liebl at the Saturday evening dance. 44 1. FTD florists. Kim Hulett, Shellee Fladhammer. Jennifer Breidcl.

Jean Fleischman and Jennifer Breidel went on from Regionals to qualify for state competition in the shot put and triple jump, respectively. Another great achievement for the Panthers was capturing their first Coulee Conference Title. The first tally of points showed the Holmen Vikings as the winning team. On request from Coach Krall, the psoints were added one more time. This declared West Salem winners by a very narrow margin. After much discussion and many recants, the Salem girls took their long conceded victory lap. West Salem's Track Girls believed they belong at the top and wouldn’t accept anything less”, commented Coach Krall. With the elements of hard work, determination, and a competitive attitude the Panther Track Team experienced an excellent season and looks forward to next year with 15 out of 21 letter winners returning. 1.

The 400 meter relay team of Robert Smith, Arlyn Gensch, Dan Athnos, and Rick Muellenberg set a new school record, were number one in the conference, and beaten only by eventual state champions from Berlin. Robert Smith set a new school and conference record in the 100 meter dash. Smith was also named to the second team in the 200 meter dash. West Salem moved up one place in the conference, from number six to number five. Coach Jon Lewis, looks toward the season with confidence, hoping to improve again in 1986. 53 Golf Linksters Reach Sectionals The highlight of the 1985 golf season was its second place finish at the W1AA Regional meet at Holmen. It was the first WSHS team regional victory in over ten years. Salem's second place finish allowed them to compete at the La Crosse Sectional, where the Panthers placed fourth as a team. Although West Salem did not reach its pre-season goal of placing second in the conference, West Salem finished in good standing with a 5-2 season record. 1. Practicing his (orm, Tom Ceresa hits shag balls. 2. Scott Paisley warms up before his opening drive. 3. Jimmy Allen lines up a finishing putt on hole number 18.

Most Valuable Player of the year, Jeff Palm, obtained honors to the first team All-Conference. Greg Hoier was also named to the first team.

GO Girls Share Conference Title On the last night of dual competition, a share of the conference title was decided for the volleyball team, when West Salem hosted previously undefeated Black River Falls. After losing the first game 4-15, Salem's fans thought it was over, but the Panthers were not about to give up. They came back to win the next two games and earned the Coulee Conference title with a 6-1 record. The year started out with the Panthers placing first in the Raider tournament, with Becky Hole and Lori Hundt being awarded Co-Most Valuable Players. West Salem also took second at the Sparta tournament. Team captain and M.V.P., Becky Hole, was named to the First All Conference team, along with Lori Hundt. Kirste Torgeson earned Second team honors, while Jennifer Breidel and Angie DuCharme captured Honorable Mention. Although we were plagued by various injuries, the depth of talent throughout the team helped offset the injury related problems, commented Coach Hanson.

Excellent team attitude and individual hard work led to some late-season success. Individual accomplishment was highlighted by the rapid improvement of Rhett Hanson and Mike Hoffman. Hanson's strong performance at the Coulee Conference Meet earned him All-Conference honors. With the graduation of just one senior, Andy Lyga, Coaches LeRoy Krall and Rod Radle are looking forward to much improvement in 1986. •w 1.

The first was to advance to Sectionals as a team, and the second was to advance Tina Paulson to the State Meet. West Salem's team goal was blocked at the Regional Meet when a tiebreaker rule gave the Sectional berth to Richland Center, and left the Panthers looking toward next season. The team disappointment was lessened greatly by the State qualifying efforts of Tina Paulson. Tina's outstanding season culminated with her individual Coulee Conference championship, the Regional Championship, a fifth place Sectional finish, and her thirteenth place finish at the State Meet blizzard in Madison. However, Tina was not alone in the overall improvement of this year's team. The accomplishments made by Missy Ertz, Tammy Wills, Lynette Jacobson, and Stacy Klos give the Panthers reason for optimism as they look forward to 1986. 1. Thrcc-ycar letterwinner, Missy Ertz, displays winning style. 2. Senior Tina Paulson leads the way through the 1986 season. 3.

With a mid-season record of 3-2, Coach Kaczmarski and Assistant Coach Scheidler looked forward to sectional competition, hoping to make state competition as a team.

Panthers Rebuild With the only returning lettermen out with injuries, West Salem started the season lacking experience. “It took until mid-season for the Panthers to gain togetherness and confidence, commented Coach I hie. Coach Chuck Ihle and Assistant Robert Fortney guided the varsity team to a 2-6 overall record at the season's mid-point. The Panthers claimed only one victory in the annual Holiday Tournament, beating last year’s champions, De Soto. 1. Varsity Basketball team — Front row: Gregg Weber.

Depth Aids Panthers Due to injuries and illnesses. West Salem began the season with various starting members. Different top scorers dominated the first six games. With only two returning letterwinners able to play, a depth of talent made it possible for the girls to claim a 5-3 record at mid-season. This year also saw the first girls' varsity reserve games, in which the Panthers held a 3 1 record. 1. Varsity Basketball team — Front row: Manager Gail DeYoung. Katie Trcmain, Kari Kraincr.
