'De uuteiy Winchester Community High School 700 North Union Street Winchester, Indiana Volume 21 1987 Some things are unique to each class, to each school, and to each year. Those things exist at WCHS like at every other school in America, but we think that our school goes beyond the usual uniqueness. There are so many characteristics that just scream Enthusiasm pours forth from the class of 1987 at Homecoming. Enthusiasm was just one of the things that was definitely WCHS. WCHS. Just what are those elusive characteristics? The following 159 pages are designed to point up what is just ... Definitely WCHS! r Above: Lisa Fouse waits for a specimen to swim by in the Biology II ecology lab. Lisa found the ecology lab to be a unique experience. Right: Balloons soar from the freshman float at Homecoming. The 1987 school year provided many eye-catching sights.

Almost everyone has done it at one time or another. But why? What inescapable feeling grips students and causes them to spend hours on the streets of Winchester? Sophomore Dena Simmons summed up the typical reason for cruising with, “When I’m bored, it's something to do.” Others saw cruising as a temporary escape from homework and a way to let out emotions when upset or angry Where are the hot spots to cruise? The most popular route which allowed students to “see who else is riding around town, as freshman Justin Robinson put it, was from McDonald’s to the high school. Some students such as senior Brian Rhotehamel cruised “as often as possible. Others cruised only a few times each week because, as sophomore Mary Robinson explained, “I'm too busy most of the time.” Not all students cruised with their friends. Brian said he cruised alone, while others cruised with brothers and sisters or boyfriends and girlfriends. Most students played loud music while cruising, but senior Lisa Moore felt this was just part of a “macho” image kids try to have. For some, cruising was an expensive habit. Others, especially those who didn't have to pay for their own gas, allowed the habit to develop into an addiction. “I can’t live without it,” confessed Brian. Cruising was a reasonably harmless way for WC students to pass the time. It was possibly the only way some students felt they belonged. But did it make a person any more important or better than anyone else? Senior Brad Wagner claimed, “You have to do more than just cruise to be cool. But until students can establish just what that something else” is, cruising will probably remain a popular form of entertainment at WC. — by Jenny Hinshaw Left: Junior Jamie Williams unlocks his car with a smile. He was one of many involved students who found a car helpful in getting to and from his many activities. S 6 Above: Working on an ecology lab for Biology II is junior Jason Franke. Jason, active in many school functions, didn’t seem to run out of things to fill his nightlife. Above right: Taking a tumble in the sack race, sophomores Jenny Cox and Ron Holcomb participate in the Homecoming fun. As head majorette. Jenny managed to keep her nights full with band, and Ron kept busy with football practice and games. Far right: Mr. Scott Spradling watches the band and reflects on the year. Mr. Spradling and many other faculty members gave up hours and hours of their nightlife for the students of WC. Right: Sophomore Jeannie McCoy occupies herself with babysitting her niece. Jobs filled the night hours for many students this year. When the lights go down . . . the action begins What fills those darker hours of the day? Those few “special, maybe boring to some, hours when the sun goes down? What is . . . NIGHTLIFE? There were two basic kinds of nightlife: summer nightlife was a little more fun. Students didn't have school staring them in the face the next morning. During summer, the choices increased. The drive-in seemed to be a popular place, along with the ballparks and maybe even a swimming party at night. Summer nightlife might also have gotten old. “After four straight weeks of nightlife, it becomes just another night,” explained junior Jason Franke. “It has to be special. You need to take a break, then come back to it later. Nightlife for band members was sometimes tough. “Since band takes up a lot of time, I don't really do a lot,” commented Heather Lennington, a sophomore majorette. Then there was school nightlife. For some students in sports, nightlife wasn’t so great. “I’m in sports and am always tired after practice, so going out doesn't sound too good,” confessed Jason. For some students, sports was their nightlife. “I attend almost all the football and basketball games, stated sophomore Trish Nuckols. When there wasn’t a sports event, some students decided to stay home. I rent a movie and invite a friend over when there are no sports or school events to go to, said Heather. To break it down even more, students had their weekly, Monday through Thursday nights, and their weekend, Friday and Saturday nights. Weekends were usually better since they didn’t have school the next day. “Sometimes on Fridays or Saturdays, I go over to Parker City to see my girlfriend and Donny Beatty usually comes along, stated sophomore Dion Norris. Nightlife for some meant watching TV. Since I don’t have my license, I stay at home and watch ‘the tube’ a lot, explained Trish. Cruising seemed to be a big nightlife activity. “Sometimes I grab a friend or just cruise by myself, explained Jason. “I like to ride around town and chase women, commented junior Scott Hargrave. Whatever form of nightlife a person decided to take, it was a lot more fun when shared with a friend. Then it seemed a little more special. Jason summed up nightlife well with “Nightlife has to be ‘special.’ It has to be spontaneous. You have to act on impulse. Grab a friend and do something! — by Catherine Riddle 7 Above: Clowning around during a slow moment on picture day. helpers Krista Campbell. Lisa Moore, and Stacey Nance pose for the photographer. Above Right: Tennis players Chuck Richardson. Chris Welch, and Jeff Lahey hang out in the gym after practice. Many athletes found time for loitering to relieve tension and pressure. Above: Tonya Middleton and Tracy Brandenburg take it easy as they ride on the Students Against Driving Drunk entry during the Homecoming parade. 8 Loitering: is there nothing else to do? Above: Senior band member Tom Baldridge relaxes before a contest. Band members found little time to loiter in their busy schedules. “Loitering: to waste time in or about a place.” That is how loitering is defined in the dictionary. But some students defined this popular past-time another way. “The act of hanging around while heavily intoxicated with bor-edome,” was the way junior Ja-cinda Walters defined it. But others defined it differently. “When people hang out and get crazy,” was how junior Krista Hendrickson put it. Many people wondered why people loiter in the first place. And the same answer came up a lot — to meet and talk to people seemed to be the main reason. But others felt like sophomore Mary Ann Robinson, who said,“There's nothing else to do in Winchester.” People also often wonder what kind of people loiter. With this question the answers varied. People who are bored or looking for a good time were the general types observed by WC students. Sophomore Ray Richardson said, “Anybody loiters. Where is “the” place to loiter? Everyone had his favorite place to loiter. Some were in town, others out. But senior Kevin Cox said, ‘I loiter everywhere.” In town, the popular selection by most was the school’s parking lot, with McDonald’s and the Time Out Snack Shop other favorites. But many students added that after 10 p.m. they were run off the school parking lot, so they had to loiter early. For those students who went out of town to loiter, Muncie was a heavy favorite. Madison Avenue came to many as a place to meet people, while others sighted the Muncie Mall as a good place. But what of people who don’t drive? Where do they loiter? Some catch rides with others, while most walk to their favorite places. Some came over to the parking lot or Time Out, while others went to places like the park, the pool, or the bowling alley. In the friendly confines of WCHS, the same places came up loud and clear. The halls, the commons, and the library were where many confessed to loitering in the building. While not all students claim they loitered, everyone has loitered in his own way. It may be in the parking lot or in a store. It may be in the halls. And even with some, in the classrooms where they spend their time. Loitering may be defined as an act to waste time, but many students felt that the time they were wasting was all in looking for fun. — by Christopher Welch 9 Above: Junior class Homecoming princess Jacinda Walters eyes the crowd during the parade. Jacinda experienced a change this year as she joined the girls' varsity basketball team; others experienced similar changes. Above right: Showing their spirit, juniors Missy Bowers. Shawnda Croyle, Jacinda Walters, and Pam Jayme cheer on their class. A change most juniors had was the availability of more things to do. both in and out of school. Above: Taking a break at work are freshman Shanna Westfall and sophomore Catherine Riddle. Getting a job was an unwelcome change for some this year, while others looked forward to earning a little money. 10 Everybody goes through .. . ch-ch-ch-ch-changes The times they are a ‘changin' Bob Dylan may not be very popular at WCHS, but his song fits the school as if he had it in mind while writing his hit of the '60's. WC and its students faced the constant changing of our world during 1987. Many students felt that people change, but few were willing to admit that they themselves had undergone any great changes. I don’t really think that I’ve changed that much, but I do know some people who have changed a lot in the past few years, commented Jerry Alexander. Although some people found that they have not changed, others feel that change is very important. I think that I'm changing, and I’m really glad about that, said Miss Polly Roberts, librarian. “I'm more positive about students as people. Being positive is really enjoyable, and it helps me to enjoy my job.” Positive attitudes were also evi- Left: Homecoming queen candidate Elizabeth Riddle smiles as she rides in the parade. Many seniors like Elizabeth had to take on more responsiblity this year in their classes and organizations. dent in WC’s student body. As always, a positive attitude proved important, but it has not always existed on a large scale. I think that in the past we had a lot of negative leadership,” was how Miss Roberts described the changing attitude at WC. The trend is now toward positive leadership, and that could only help the school.” It seems like everything is more competitive now, stated junior Jamie Williams on another facet of changes. Competition became fierce in everything from academics, where academic honor jackets were awarded for the first time, to athletics where WC’s teams were as tough as usual. Changes came in many forms during 1987. From elections to fads, the world around us continued to change, and surely will continue to change. As Jerry said, You're always going to change — you can’t do anything about it. You just have to hope you change for the better. — by Tony Smithson n Right: Learning a new show can be tough, as Brian Ray and Chris Hunter show while putting down their markings. Band members needed to be able to get along with one another because of the endless hours they spent together. Below: Senior Tom Baldridge escorts his parents in front of the bleachers on senior honor night. Relationships with parents were vital to all students, regardless of their grade level. 12 Relationships — who needs them? We all do. “Relationships — who needs them? This phrase is used often, but what the person saying it does not realize is that everyone needs relationships to make his life complete. Sisters and brothers are constantly at each other’s throats at one point or another, but deep down they always care and cherish that bond of love that ties them so closely together. Mary Ann and Justin Robinson are brother and sister, but more importantly, they are best friends. They feel as though they can go to each other for anything and really trust each other. Another area that holds a space so dear in one's heart is a girlfriend or boyfriend. If one has a special relationship with someone else, he is the one person who can know another inside and out. This person is the one who is going to be there to help another through anything that comes his way, and for that time that the two are together, they become each other’s whole life and they cherish the other very deeply. Then there is the one true friend who everyone has — parents. One might not realize it now, Top: Bryan Barnett relaxes in the park, contemplating a relationship. Time to get away from it all helped some relationships survive. Bottom: Dancing away is junior Ulrike Luenenborg. As a new student, Ulrike was forced to develop many new relationships with her peers. but parents are the people who care the most and are always going to be there. Kids can trust them and go to them for anything. Friendships are also very important in students' lives. Students need friends to share their burdens with or to just let go and have a good time. “Friends come by being a friend yourself, commented Ulrike Luenenborg. If students just sit back and wait for friends to come to them, they might have to wait a while. It might take time to make new friends, but it is worth it. There are always teachers in students' lives. They give up their time to try to teach students what they need to know. They are there waiting to fill students with their knowledge, and they care about students and want students to learn from them: then they should apply it. Everyone has relationships in his life, and if one stops to think about it, everyone needs relationships and cares for each one of those relationships deeply because relationships are the main thing that make life enjoyable. — by Jade Cooper 13 Above: Thinking about the junior class Homecoming mural is junior class president Shannon Hartley. Many students found a need for some time to be alone and think. Above right: Senior Bryan Barnett helps foreign exchange student Ulrike Luenen-borg with a journalism assignment. Even seniors made new friends during 1987. Right: Showing their spirit during dress-up days, seniors Tracy Long and Wendy Ritter check out the action in the hall before school. These two found that, like many others, they had much to share with students in the same grade level. 14 Freshmen or seniors, everyone undergoes a change of friends As he walks down the hall, he sees only a few familiar faces and he feels like the only person without a friend. Everyone else seems happy, talking and laughing with their friends. He knows hardly anyone. He is a freshman. She comes back to school on the first day of what she hopes will be her best year at WCHS. It’s her last year. All of her friends who were there to greet her last year are gone. She is a lonely senior. The story of the freshman was typical, but many people realized that each year nearly everyone at WCHS had to make some new friends. The reasons were graduation or just being new at school. Most seniors had some friends who had graduated. No matter how many friends they had seen come and go, these friends were all missed. Did the seniors keep in touch with theif graduated friends? “Yes,” said senior Thursa Halcomb. “I see them and write them letters. Perhaps the cliche story of the freshman who knew no one wasn't really as true as it seemed. Even excluding relatives, freshmen Vonda Brumley, Donna Baldridge, and Angel Love all said they knew someone at WCHS before their freshman year there. The seniors who lost their Left: Freshman Jenny Terrell is distracted during the Spanish Club initiation. She. like many others, experienced many new things this year through her active participation in many organizations. friends did have a slight advantage over the newly-arrived freshmen. Even though the seniors lost their friends, they knew other people they could develop closer relationships with. Were the new friends the seniors made good replacements for the ones they lost to graduation? Senior Shawnda Barnes commented, “No one can ever replace the ones I’ve lost to graduation, but the new ones make up for the ones I’ve lost.” The freshmen weren’t quite as positive in their feelings about their new friends. Vonda said that not all of her new friends were sufficient replacements for her old ones, but both Angel and Donna said theirs were. Both seniors and freshmen said the way they adjusted to losing their friends was to make new ones at the most obvious place — school. They also made new acquaintances at dances and games. Shawnda said she made some of her new friends at “social events. Even though these students had friends in many different classes, most said their “best friend” was in their class. Perhaps Donna summed it up best. When asked what her definition of a friend was, she said, Someone to be with.” Barriers such as age didn’t come in the way of the final, simple fact: a friend is a friend. — by Jana Barnes is Above: Contributing to a discussion in choir class, senior Joni Jackson shows her school spirit with her clown costume. Joni, along with many other seniors, such as Jodell Hendrickson, added to the leadership and originality of the senior class. Above right: During the tug-of-war, Amy Wood is determined to win.

Right: Getting ready for the next race, Lonny Paschal helps Michelle Hogg into their sack for the sack race. Seniors were prepared to give a hand to each other when necessary throughout the year. 16 Seniors pull together Prom and Homecoming are activities that most seniors participate in every year. These activities were also what some members of the class of 1987 believed brought their class closer together. Did the class of 1987 pull together? Stacey Nance was one senior who believed the class had pulled together over the past four years. Yes, we pulled together, she said, especially during Prom and working on the Homecoming float. Before it seemed like not very many people were involved, but now, people are more active.” Why had people become move involved? Because we realize that this is our last year at WC and we want to make this a special senior year,” Stacey added. John Jackson believed that the class had come together more this year than the past twelve years put together. Why? “Because people grow closer when they know they are going to be apart in just a few months, John explained. Mrs. Nicki Longnecker, senior class sponsor, also believed this class had become closer. Her reasoning was, “You’re just a good group of kids and there aren’t a whole lot of complainers. Senior Krista Campbell explained, “We have been together for four years now, and when you know someone that long, you eventually grow closer.” Is it good that the senior class pulled together? “Yes,” said Carla Pratt. “If you don’t, you're not a class. You’re just separate people.” Shawnda Barnes also agreed by saying, To do anything you have to pull together and work together, by putting everyone's ideas together and not just using one person’s ideas.” All in all, the senior class worked together to show leadership, spirit, and pride at WCHS, but more importantly, they showed those characteristics toward each other. — by Tonya Thompson Left: Senior Krista Campbell smiles for the crowd at the Mardi Gras Pageant.

All of their efforts paid off as the seniors pulled away with the spirit stick. ‘Whatchamacallits’ stalk WCHS for a Falcon victory Top: I had such a great time in the parade. It was the best part because our class float was behind me and I was 'boogying' to the music, commented Elizabeth Riddle, senior princess. Above: Awaiting the arrival of the team, cheerleaders brave the cold in hopes of a victory. Falcon fans weren't disappointed as the Black Attack chalked up another victory. Vampires, clowns, and “whatchamacallits stalked the halls of WC, hoping their costumes would be the ones to win the dress-up days for their class. Thus began the “monstrous” activities for the 1987 WC Homecoming. Thursday was an all-black day to mourn the Bulldogs for the defeat WC’s varsity football team was to bestow upon them Friday night. Large numbers of people dressed for the event, but the school looked dead. Friday was the day to which the whole student body looked forward. The clock couldn’t tick fast enough for most people to count down the minutes until Fun and Games would begin. The classrooms were restless and the excitement kept building until finally Fun and Games started. The seniors cheered their hearts out, hoping to win the spirit stick; the underclassmen fought hard to obtain it for themselves. No one would be a loser, though, because everyone worked together to make Fun and Games the success that it was. That night the tension mounted as the football players were getting ready to take on the Bulldogs of Centerville. Everyone else seemed anxious to start the parade. Who would win the float contest? As senior sponsor Miss Polly Roberts said, “I've always felt kind of smug when I’ve heard teachers talk about their floats not being done. I’ve never had that problem. Her words rang true. The seniors worked together to get things done and because of it, they won the float competition and, eventu- ally, the spirit stick. During half time of the football game, senior Michelle Hogg was crowned Homecoming queen with Elizabeth Riddle and Krista Campbell as her court. Junior class princess was Jacinda Walters; sophomore princess, Amy Beck; and freshman princess, Debbie Hawley. After half time, the Black Attack again returned to the field to tackle the Bulldogs to a 27-6 victory. Once agin, WC won its Homecoming because of its school spirit and determination. The cheerleaders deserved much of the credit for keeping that school spirit alive by cheering the Falcons to victory on that very cold October night. I feel that the senior cheerleaders have great leadership and that Amy Wood has terrific spirit and leadership,” said Mr. Fox. “The whole cheerleading squad has a super attitude.” But where does school spirit come from? Who or what has it? When asked, sophomore Steve McCord said, I think our spirit comes from the atmosphere of things. I think our class has spirit; if some would just show it. Others don’t have it and I think we need to overcome those people and rea'ly show our spirit. Those were the words spoken by many around WC, but this year they almost seemed meaningless. As many saw, the 1987 school year started out great with a Falcon Fright Night Homecoming victory. — by Tonya Meeks 19 20 Right: Mrs. Margo Varner's discussion of Presenting Yourself as a Leader holds Lena Herr's attention.

Leadership Day: building a better future This could be the greatest day in the history of Winchester Community High School, was how Principal Mr. Nyle Fox described the Leadership Day 1987. One might ask the question, What exactly is a Leadership Day? In the past, selected students attended a weekend workshop on leadership, known as the Leadership Retreat, but this year the same motivational program was open to the entire school. Mr. Fox said that, This is a way that we can make this special program available to all of the students, and not just a select few. The morning of January 7, 1987, began much like any other day during the school year, but it soon became quite a unique day. Six workshops were set up around the school, with five speakers and a motivational movie instructing the students on everything from “Who Are You? to Presenting Yourself as a Leader. The auditorium was the stage for Mark Scharenbroich's movie “The Best Days of Your Life .. . So Far. This film, taped in front of a high school audience, stressed that students must work toward a good high school career through a positive attitude. Mr. Tom Collins instructed students on looking for cultural differences as they grow up and become members of the world community. WC’s own Mrs. Margo Varner gave students tips on Presenting Yourself as a Leader.” Mrs. Varner’s advice included such things as, “When you introduce your girlfriend to your mother, guys, don’t say ’Chick, this is Woman. Woman, this is Chick.’ ” Mrs. Delonda Hartman, of Blue River Valley High School, gave a presentation on identity and self-respect. Students packed into the library to hear Mr. David Parker speak on goal setting. Mr. Parker stressed that one must have a goal if one is to succeed. Last, but by no means least, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser used the commons to present the ideas of Motivating Yourself.” Many different methods of motivation were used by Dr. Tim, including offering $100 bills to the group if no one in the group would break eye contact with him. He didn't end up paying a dime. The day ended with the whole school converging on the auditorium for Dr. Tim’s presentation to the student body. Roars of applause ended Dr.. Tim's stay, and signaled the success of the first Leadership Day. — by Tony Smithson 22 Above Top: Members of the “Dog Patch” chorus look tired but are still going at the end of a late rehearsal.

Li’l Abner” was based on the famous cartoon strip by Al Capp, and ran for 565 performances on Broadway. WC's cast put on a stunning performance with leading roles played by Bill Shepherd as Abner, Joni Jackson as Daisey Mae, Michelle Hogg as Mammy Yokum, Mark Lewallen as Pappy Yokum, and Terry Retter as Marryin’ Sam. The best part of musical is getting to work with all the kids. I really made a lot of friends,” stated Joni. But the musical wasn’t all fun and games. It took a lot of hard work, long practices, and a tremendous amount of dedication to make it successful. Some students found it hard to “act the part of their character role. But others, such as Chris Welch, found it pretty easy. “It wasn’t too hard because my character last year was around the same age. I just had to learn to become more ‘high-classed’ which definitely wasn't my style,” Left: Earthquake McGoon, portrayed by Shane Girton, points to Mayor Dawgmeat. played by Kevin Pugh, in an attempt to spread the blame. As a sophomore, Shane looked forward to next year's musical. stated Chris. Without the contributions of the community orchestra, the stage crew, the industrial arts department, and many other helpful volunteers, the musical would never have been as successful as it was. Long hours were spent building scenery and props; many strenuous hours were spent practicing the music until it neared perfection. Among those WCHS students who helped make-up the community orchestra were Bill Peden, Tom Cox, Steve McCord, and Marcia Peters. Providing the scenery were Mr. Robert Farlow, Mr. Jim Mock, Mr. Chris Miles, and Mr. Bernie Fraze. The Dog Patch chorus was made up of students ranging from freshmen to seniors. The chorus provided a lively, exuberant background for the main characters. Senior Dog Patchers” were Kellie Singer, Jenifer Brown, Lisa Burge, Jodell Hendrickson, and Tonya Thompson. “Every year the musical seems to get better, observed Tonya Meeks. If this trend holds up, WCHS can expect the musicals to be bigger, better, and brighter than ever. — by Tonya Thompson 23 24 Above: Members of the swing choir are enthusiastically portraying “Power House.” The swing choir’s performance was one of the highlights of Ex-travangza.

The look-alikes went on stage and were joined by majorettes who looked as though they had also just stepped out of a James Bond movie. What an opening to Extravaganza '87! The audience was held in suspense. What would happen next? Then a brilliant performance by WC's trombone line followed by a comical ‘‘Concerto Gross held the audience captive. Suddenly a familiar tune began to play. The Sesame Street Gang had come to Winchester for Extravaganza. All eyes were glued to the stage as the Sesame Street characters took their places. Ernie had lost his little rubber duckie; even with the help of other Sesame Street characters, he still could not find it. The Sesame Street Gang decided to get help from the audience: all the children crossed their fingers hoping they would be chosen because each child knew where the rubber duckie was. McKenna Roberts was the lucky one chosen. She knew exactly where the rubber duckie was. The characters were played by Cody Acree, Stephen McCord, Matt McLaughlin, and Brian Lowe. Other characters were portrayed by Tracy Long, Charles Stone-rock, Wendy Ritter, Jennifer Martzell, and Justin Robinson, with the majorettes playing “little kids.” Snappy, upbeat, and swinging were the three main words used to describe the jazz band’s performance. They performed “Song for Sam, “Night Court, and “Nutville. Many people considered the swing choir's performance of “Big River as the most enjoyable part of Extravaganza. Based on Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, the rendition featured several soloists; among those were Tonya Retter, Terry Retter, Bill Shepherd, and Kay Johnson. The finale wound up the two nights of excitement. Marching majorettes, enthusiastic singers, and the brilliant playing of the Battle Hymn of the Republilc” and “America ... The Dream Goes On were set off by flashing lights. The faint image of the Statue of Liberty could be seen in the background. This patriotic conclusion sent the audience home with a positive feeling. — by Tina Hawley 25 26 Above Right: Enjoying the atmosphere of the Sweetheart Dance are Kristi Cook and Bill Peden.

Ivy covered walls and a balloon decorated ceiling greeted the couples. To gain entrance, each couple crossed a lighted bridge over a pond covered with lily pads. Decorated to resemble the garden of a Southern mansion, the dominant colors of the prom were peach and white. A lace fan had been placed on every table as a keepsake for each girl. The royalty were named with Michelle Hogg and Todd Pegg being chosen as queen and king. The court was comprised of Elizabeth Riddle, John Jackson, Amy Wood and Don Beatty. After-prom, which was also in the commons, had a more casual atmosphere. Door prizes were presented and prom paddles were given out. Music for both prom and afterprom was provided by “Fast Company.” “The band was really great,” commented junior Susan Beilis. Once again the privilege of cleaning up was given to the sophomores. The evening was remembered by all those who attended as a simply delightful “Southern Night. — by Jana Barnes Top Left: Making their exit from prom are Shannon Hartley and Jerry Alexander.

Ed focused on the happiness of the occasion. Seniors of ’87: definitely a “class act’’ “I knew it'd probably be the last time we’d all be together for a long time,” remembered Chris Welch. “It was kind of sad.” The long-awaited day of Commencement, May 23, 1987, brought not only happiness, but also a sense of sadness as the Class of 1987 said goodbye to WC. Commencement began with the band playing a prelude concert, followed by the processional. The seniors, dressed in black and white, entered the packed fieldhouse in pairs. Stacey Nance, a student council member, opened the ceremony with the invocation. Class treasurer Joni Jackson then introduced the Baccalaureate speaker, Reverend Bill Haworth. His speech centered around the idea of being happy. As a four year student council member, Lisa Moore was chosen to introduce the salutatorian, Rena Hendrickson. Following Rena's speech, class secretary Tracy Long reviewed the class history, highlighting things such as the junior prom, “A Touch of Class.” Introduced by class president Amy Wood, Daniel Edwards delivered the valedictory address. He based this speech on the class motto, which states, Often the roughest road may be the best way to where you want to go.” A unique factor in the 1987 Commencement was the recognition of Ulrike Luenenborg, a foreign exchange student who at- tended WC during the entire 1986-87 school year. Another new addition was the vocal presentation of “Somewhere Out There,” by the senior girls in Swing Choir. These girls included Joni Jackson, Michelle Hogg, Kay Johnson, Lori Low-rance, Tracy Fisher, Rachele Bo-gard, and Rebecca Jackson. Principal Nyle Fox introduced the class of 1987, saying that the class definitely fit its junior prom theme because all of the seniors possessed a touch of class.” Finally the moment had arrived. Superintendent Gerald Keesling and School Board President Leon Fetters began to present diplomas as Mr. Fox read the names. As each name was called, the fieldhouse filled with applause. Shannon Norris recalled, “I can’t even put into words what I felt when I got my diploma. I was so happy that it was finally, officially over. Amy Wood directed her fellow graduates in moving their tassles to the left side and then in the first organized cap throw, or the senior salute.” The band began the recessional, and the graduates exited as they had entered. There will be other Commencements and other senior classes, but there will never be another class like the class of 1987. — by Jenny Hinshaw DEFINITELY CHARACTERS Students set themselves apart Certain characteristics set one individual apart from all others. These characteristics are present in every school, but in 1987 we took the time to notice the little things, and some not so little, that made students at WCHS different. Characters appeared at celebrations and at defeat. They made their presence know by being something other than normal, and adding the “spice of life to this year. Top: Trying to make a good connection, Jenny Hinshaw and Amy Wood are getting a busy signal. Friends and a little tropical fruit always made things more fun. Above: Lori Lowrance laughs at one of Ralph Wilson's famous jokes during the Sectional victory dance. A laugh and a smile became familiar signs of many of WC's characters. Above: Distracted by the photographer. April Hersberger is torn away from her studies for the Academic Decathlon. Many distractions caused students’ minds to stray. Top: Matt Osborne seems to have faith in the saying “no pain, no gain.” Strength and determination helped many students throughout the year. Right: Brian Wagner proves that even big guys can have fun at a dance. Characters such as Brian always found ways to have a good time. Deer Orr Monster? “It was the wildest thing I ever saw. Lee (Lawrence) and I just stopped for a minute on old 250E, and all a sudden this big white thing, (which) looked like a deer but was standing erect, looked at us, and moved its head. Lee is still a little jumpy every time we drive by there. This is how senior Rod Simmons described his first encounter with the “DEER MONSTER.” Yes, there is a monster, a DEER MONSTER,” that supposedly haunts the forest and fields east of Winchester. Although there are no pictures of this monster, over a dozen different students have reported sightings. Both the sheriff's department, and some local farmers, claim that there is some kind of mutated deer in that area of the county; but no one has made a positive identification. According to different legends, the DEER MONSTER lurks at night in search of “victims.” In either case, those who have seen the monster ad- vise avoiding it during the night time hours. The DEER MONSTER” definitely isn't alone in haunting this area. Those who had visited the Orr House knew that a monster deer wasn’t all that caused fright. In fact, those who have visited the house know what true fright is. One night Geoff (Williams) and I, along with a couple people, thought it would be a ‘bogus’ idea to cruise on out to the Orr House to do some 'scroggin' (similar to frog gigging). When we got there Geoff grabbed a flashlight and went on inside. Just as the rest of us were going inside, Geoff yelled and said he saw a casket. We didn't know any better, so we took off. So, if you’re going ‘scroggin’ at the Orr House, take a good Louisville Slugger and a pair of Reeboks.” This quote was taken from senior Mark Krahulec after he had purchased a Louisville Slugger. Something mysterous haunts an old farm house west of town. Some know of it as the Orr House Ghost,” and some just know to stay away from whatever it is. Dozens of different students, who have visited the Orr House, have claimed to see everything from freshly dismembered body parts to floating ghostly images. Those people who have visited the house often claim that it is evil. This could very well be true, because the house was abandoned due to the hatred between two brothers. Whether the house is evil or not, something strange or supernatural seemed to exist inside its walls! — by John Jackson Above: Senior Rod Simmons searches for the “Deer Monster atop a large tree.

The class of 1987 got into a variety of musical styles. Julian Rost said the music he listened to depended on the mood he was in. If the mood he was in was a “rowdy one, he would listen to his hard rock music. If his mood was “mellow,” then he would listen to soft music. Some class members listened to Christian rock; they liked the message that it presented. According to Julian, “The music does not affect your personality; your personality affects the music you listen to.” He didn't think that the music he listened to would change as he grew older. I’m as crazy as I'll ever be, he concluded. Country music had an atmosphere of its own. Some seniors such as Carla Pratt liked country music. Carla said she preferred the music of Hank Williams, Jr. to get her through her day. She did admit, however, that the music she listened to depended on her mood. Kellie Bryant claimed that she enjoyed the music of Lee Greenwood because “He reaches all age groups and is very versatile with his songs. On the other hand, Chris Welch found country music hard to digest. His definition was, “Country music is all about little boys’ dogs that get shredded up by family combines.” While Chris might have criticized country music, he listened to rock because, “Music wakes me up in the morning, keeps me going in the afternoon, keeps me cruising through the evening, and puts me to bed at night. The energetic seniors relied on their flexible moods to determine their choice of music. — by Kim Nuckols Above: Mike Short does his discjockeying at one of the high school dance celebrations.

KELEE KIM KING Definitely noexcuse “My dog was running through the field with my homework, and I was chasing him, and the combine came and shredded them both up.” It was very evident that some seniors wouldn’t have any problem coming up with a fast and convincing excuse concerning missing homework. When Ted Steveson was in trouble, the thought of using an excuse always seemed to cross his mind. What did he come up with? “First use an excuse; if that fails, try another one,” considered Ted. But Shane Penticuff said that when he was in that position, if his excuse didn’t work, he lied. The teachers were really aware of when a student was giving them an excuse. Ted and Shane both said that it depended on what kind of a day a teacher had had as to whether he or she would “buy” an excuse or not. According to Shane and Ted, there was one trusting teacher who “we could usually give an excuse to and he’d accept it.” “He understands what we seniors have gone through for the past four years,’’ they agreed. So if the seniors were in dire need, and all else failed, one possible way out was the reliable excuse. — by Kimi Nuckols Senior Geoff Williams does his famous Heisman Trophy pose. Geoff demonstrated his athletic ability in football throughout the season. Qualities that make a senior Who were the coolest, the smartest, the toughest, and the best looking group of two-legged beasts ever to grace the earth with their presence? The seniors, of course! Well, that might be overdoing it a bit, but there were some things that set the seniors apart from the crowd of students. One might have asked, what makes a person special just because he has been in high school for four years? This question did hold some merit, but it could have been answered with one word: Experience. A senior has been around the track a few times, and really knows how things work,” commented junior Jamie Williams. Although the seniors did become a bit worldly wise,” experience wasn't the only characteristic that stuck in their own minds. Senior Lisa Campbell described the senior strut as a product of attitude. It's the snotty attitude that we're better at than anyone else,” noted Lisa. Tonya Meeks agreed, saying, “You look around, and you're the one who’s finally on top. That feels really good. Many seniors felt that the attitude of the class is not snobbiness, but confidence. Senior Jerry Alexander stated, I’ve paid my dues over the past four years, so I’m pretty well at ease with what's going on.” Confidence and experience showed through in yet another senior quality: Leadership. Senior Leadership helped to bring success to WC's various academic and athletic teams, as well as provide a generally good year. Librarian Miss Polly Roberts commented, “I think the seniors are just great! If something needs to be done, they just come out and do it.” Whether it was the experience, the confidence, or the leadership that made the seniors what they were, the class of 1987 was definitely one of a kind. — by Tony Smithson ROY D.

Yeah, and that time when we were sophomores, or maybe that was our junior year ... For many, the senior year was a time of reflection. All of the good times from the past four years seemed to come alive again. Shannon Antrim remembered her freshman year favorably. “Winning the tug-of-war as a freshman had to be the best time ever for me. There have been a lot more good times at WC for me, but that’s the one I’ll remem- ber forever.” Cindy Johnson agreed that her freshman year was the most memorable. “I was always with friends goofing off and getting into trouble. I never thought it would be my first year in high school that I’d remember most,” she explained. One of the highlights of high school for Christy Cox occurred during her sophomore year. She recalled, “I was so excited when we won the spirit stick our sophomore year. I never thought we could do it. I’m sure glad my thoughts were never right. The junior year was exciting for Rob Baker. Rob emphasized, “No one should miss going to the prom. It’s something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.” As graduation approached, memories such as these were all that the seniors had left of their high school careers. — by Kim Nuckols and Jenny Hin-shaw Above: Observing an intramural basketball game, Chris Sayre prepares to make a call.

But as the world confronted them, they were awakened to reality. One senior quoted, “Sometimes it’s just facing reality. You no longer have a life that’s carefree without any responsibilities. It's not like tuning the teacher in when you want to, or turning in a late assignment. You have to realize that Mom and Dad aren’t going to hold your hand anymore. You’re on your own, and many times you doubt if you’ll make it or not. While some seniors were concerned about “making it,” others worried about a more personal standpoint: the fear of not meeting “Mr. or Mrs. Right.” One senior stated, “I’m afraid I might not find a person who will care for me, not just a year after we're married, but all the time.” Some seniors were afraid of the career they had chosen. Kelly McCord stated, “I've joined the Air Force, but as it gets nearer, I sometimes wish I hadn’t. I'm not sure of what to expect, and I often wonder if I'm doing the right thing.” It was human nature to worry about a step a majority of us take in life on the road to maturity. But sometimes the pretty picture most had painted for us was a little blurred in the back of our minds. But despite all the fears we had, we put them behind us. We confronted life with a realistic, yet optimistic point of view. We approached each day with strong, firm steps which put that blurred picture of life into focus. — Lisa Burge Above: Senior Brad Himes concentrates intensely on his Spanish.

What rewards come with being a junior? What did having a later curfew, more privileges, more expected of you, and more power have in common? They were all a big part of being a junior. Being a junior took more than just making it to eleventh grade, and there were more privileges than just having one more year of school to go. Having a later curfew was one of few privileges the juniors were able to enjoy. “Now that I’m older, my parents trust me more and let me stay out longer,” Marie Brady said. Being able to be section leader in band is what I enjoy about being a junior, Nancy Nordloh stated. Marie added, You can tell people what to do and they'll do it.” Juniors also had to act older 48 and take on more responsibilities because the next year they would be seniors; the underclassmen would look to them on how to act. Junior Aaron Thrash said, The older you are, the more you’re expected to act older. Teachers also expect you to get your work in on time.” Aside from a few privileges, most students agreed that being a junior wasn’t that much different than being a sophomore. Juniors, overall, enjoyed being juniors and couldn’t wait until next year when they would be the pride of WC. — by Tina Hawley Top: Andy Bush poses for a picture at the FCA Christmas party.

Above: Some students bought class rings only because they wanted to give them to their boyfriend or girlfriend. Jade Cooper explained, I didn't really want one, I only bought it to give to my boyfriend. Those rings “CLASS” galore What is the mystery of a few grams of gold or silver and a piece of colored glass? What is it that makes class rings so special, so fascinating? Why do students want a class ring? “It is really nice to signify when you’ll graduate and a class ring is a nice remembrance of the high school years,” Gwen Furby said. “It shows what kinds of sports or activities you participate in and it's a sign of pride for your class, Brian Hollowell commented. Mr. Kellie Stephen also remembered the dating standpoint. It was a tradition to switch class rings with your girlfriend or boyfriend as a sign of a very close relationship between two people. Everybody could see those monstrous, heavy class rings, surrounded with thread, on the small fingers of the girls and the dainty girls' rings on the little finger or around the neck of the boys. But couldn’t people show strong feelings for each other without switching class rings? “Yes, but a class ring lets everybody else know who my boyfriend is and it makes me feel proud,” Nancy Nordloh said. “It’s kind of a promise ring,” Mr. Stephen exclaimed. “It shows that we’re dedicated; that she’s my ‘woman’,” was how Marty Hardwick put it into words. “It’s a nice way to show everybody you’re in love, he added. But there were also some students who didn't get sentimental about class rings. They thought it was a waste of money (between $69.95 and $393) and useless. They didn't want to buy a class ring just because everybody else did. But in the end, it was obvious that everybody had special feelings about class rings — those magical, little pieces of jewelry. — by Ulrike Luenenborg Top of page: With a look of anticipation.

A close scoring game always created a feeling of excitement. 51 Never do today what can wait until tomorrow Book report, research paper, literature to read, formulas to memorize, diagrams to draw, questions to answer and all due by tomorrow. Why would anyone have all this to do in one night? The answer is procrastination. Sometimes putting things off for a day turns into putting them off for weeks or even months. What do most students procrastinate about the worst? Well, just about any subject in school. Their reasons for procrastinating seemed obvious — laziness. When asked why she procrastinated, junior Nancy Nordloh said, ‘‘Because I'm lazy. Susan Beilis, also a junior, replied, I just don't feel like getting it done. Junior Shane Galligan said, I try to make the best of the little time I have.” Does procrastination get worse with age? Kathy Wolfe replied “Yes! When I was younger I liked schoolwork, but now I don't.” Some classic exarhples of procrastination include not starting to read the book until four days before the book report is due and not doing homework until lunch the day it’s due, even though students have known about the assignment for a week. Besides homework, students also said they procrastinated about cleaning their rooms and writing letters. Did procrastinating affect their grades? Shane said he thought it did “quite a bit. Kathy commented, When you do something at the last minute, you don’t put much thought into it.” Most students said that their friends had not influenced their procrastinating for better or for worse. How did someone get into the habit of procrastinating? The answers may have varied, but all seemed to agree on the point — once someone slid into the dark pit of procrastination, getting out was sometimes too hard — many found it just easier to stay in, and keep on procrastinating. — by Jana Barnes Top: Doug Driskell takes a break from the busy life of a junior.

What’s special is that you get your driver’s license and you become a little more independent.” Jeff Chalfant stated it this way: It is a year to relax. You don’t have the responsibility seniors have, and the underclassmen look up to you.” “It is our first prom,” stated Gwen Furby. “That's going to be exciting. I’m looking forward to that.” The senior year is coming closer, so what expectations do juniors have? “I’ll try to get good grades and maybe a scholarship,” Pam Jayme stated. I think it will be the year when you start making serious plans for the future, and when you start making your own decisions. Besides work, I hope we’re going to have a lot of fun.” Andy wished his senior year would be one great big continuous party.” “I know that I’ll be ready to go after my senior year, but I think I’m going to miss my friends,” Gwen stated. “We went to school together for several years and after the last year, you have to make a new beginning.” Pam expressed what a lot of students may have felt. It scares me a little bit to think about leaving high school because a part of my life isn’t going to be supported any more. You start a new chapter of your life. You start on your own. Juniors dream about making their last year at high school special — unforgettable. With their attitudes, they may have a better chance for success. — by Ulrike Luenenborg 55 Definitely daring to be different Most students wouldn't take the risk of being laughed at or criticized for being the people that they truly were. They didn’t want to stand apart from everyone in order to save themselves from embarassment. There was an exception: the sophomore class of 1989. Here one could find a whole group of unique individuals simply ‘‘being themselves.” I don’t like to be like other people,” stated Trish Nuckols. “They bore me. Why be like everyone else? Each person was special in his own way. That’s what separated one from everyone around him. As Steve McCord put it, “I'm different. I don’t care about what others think. I’m not influenced by social trends.” Thfs sophomore group really didn’t care about pleasing everyone else. They acted in their own ways. That’s what set them apart. “I do things for my enjoyment, instead of pleasing everyone else, stated Tony Grow. Sound selfish? Maybe so, but being exactly the person one wanted to be wasn’t actually selfish. It was eccentric. What influenced these students to have the attitudes they held so well? What was it that inspired them to flaunt what they had? “I act the way I do so I'll have something to tell my kids,” said Trish. Tony had a different idea. “Friends and environment influence my acts of weirdness. I get bored with the real world, so I change it a little.” Being an original couldn’t be all that painful. If it weren’t for all the individuals in the world, not a whole lot would get accomplished. “It’s what makes the American system work,” stated Steve. We’ve got so many different people with different ideas.” To the class of 1989, the unique attitues, appearances, and outlooks the class held, brought the honor of being marked as individuals. — by Catherine Riddle Top Left: Stacey James sizes up an opponent’s move on the court.

Mike Jones 58 Definitely fitting in Sophomore year is a year when most high school students finally find their place. Fitting-in simply became a matter of gaining confidence, or becoming part of the class through participation at some school event. “Confidence is having some pride in yourself. I think you get confidence from your achievements, and the people around you,” stated Jen Kolodchak. Many sophomores stated that this was the year when they were finally feeling confidence in themselves. They were more outgoing at school functions due to this confidence. A lot more of the sophomores enjoyed the dances, and thought these drew the class closer together. Some sophomores gave the credit for gaining more confidence in school to their parents. My parents are starting to look at me as a young adult, so they are trusting me more and allowing me to get more involved,” observed Mary Ann Robinson. Probably due to this newfound trust, many sophomores enjoyed this second high school year. The group thought it was a lot better than their freshman year because they felt more comfortable. The support and understanding from my friends and classmates helped my sophomore year to be the best year so far,” remarked Candi Shaneyfelt. As the class of '89 looked back on the year, they cherished the closeness they had felt, and the new friends they had made. They remembered the good times they had had at Fun and Games, and how the class pulled together to try to win first place. Sophomores like Ron Reitenour and Tony Grow remembered the fun during dress-up days. The 50’s day, decided Ron, was best. Tony Grow remembered Hawaiian day, “I liked Hawaiian day because I felt more people got involved.” Whatever the day or whatever the occasion, the sophomores demonstrated a confidence they had not had in their first year in high school. — by Jade Cooper Above: Shannon Fisher and Jeff Lahey expressed the general feeling of warmth and closeness that grows among classmates as the year progresses.

Definitely prime time: Sweet Sixteen What’s it like to be sixteen? Sweet sixteen parties, cruising (finally), freedom, getting in a car, and getting aw$y._ Sixteen grants you a later curfew, starts off the wonderful dilemma of dating, and gives one a chance to crash mother's car. Getting one’s license was unanimously voted the best benefit of being sixteen. Sixteen to Todd Shores meant not being a freshman anymore. Mary Ann Osborne described sixteen as ‘‘going out and having fun without Mother. Ron Reitenour gave one definition for sixteen — freedom. He also considered sixteen as a turning point in his life. While some regarded sixteen as partytime, Others were starting to think seriously about their futures. “Getting good grades is my goal, and I’m starting to think about college more,” stated Marion Auker. Luisa Moon just wanted 50 to drive and live at the same time. “My goal is to make it to seventeen, stated Amy Cochran. Remember elementary school? What did one think sixteen would be like? Innocence, sixteen and never been kissed, a big sweet sixteen party, your first date? All of the above? I expected my whole life to be , perfect, said Amy. Marion and ' Luisa both expected their parents to let them do what they wanted, when they wanted. They all agreed sixteen wasn't everything they expected, but it had been their best year yet. Sixteen: the prime of the teenage years. A year full of memories that will be embedded forever in students’ minds. Time flies in this precious period of time. It’s over before one knows it, so live it to its fullest.

Good or bad? It was all in the eye of the beholder. Being identified not as yourself but as someone's little brother or sister was becoming more and more common as the “babies of the family” stepped out. While exploring new lands, meeting new people, and venturing out into the social zone, many found that big brother or sister had already been there. “Mia's little sister is like my second name,” stated Luisa Moon. Luisa said she loved Mia, but hated being recognized as her “little” sister. Many said that having a second name was the thing they disliked the most. Amy Cochran said she didn’t mind being known as Rollin’s little sister, because she was proud of him. Teachers and parents expecting the younger sibling to be like the older one was another complaint. All my life I've been compared to Mia and I'm sick of it, Luisa said. “They expect me to be as perfect as she was. One way to rebel against this was to try to be as different as possible from the older sibling. “I try not to be like Mary Ann, but it’s hard, stated Jeannie, “because we like the same things.” Others didn’t care if they resembled their sister or brother. “I do my own thing,” stated Catherine Riddle. If it happens to be like Elizabeth, that's just the way it ends up.” They could pave the way or they could make life almost unbearable, but big sisters and brothers were here to stay. — by Dawn Gray Above: Following in the footsteps of his older brother. Brad, is Scott Burelison. Scott and Brad will forever hold a mark in the world of sports at WCHS. 63 I heard it . . . through the grapevine What exactly are rumors? A rumor according to Webster is general talk not based on definite knowledge; mere gossip; her-esay. Rumors, according to Amy Cochran, were “lies that ridiculous people, who are stupid to realize their own jealousy, create in their feeble minds to try to hurt or humiliate other people.” Most sophomores agreed with Amy’s definition. I hate gossip; I hate rumors; I hate people who spread them,” is how Aimee Simmons felt. Then there were the others who enjoyed rumors. Lonny Parker was one example. “They're fun! You know like when someone comes up to you and asks, ‘Hey! Did you hear what happened last weekend?’ ” People who spread rumor's were (and still are) known as “ru-mormongers. These people took an incident and splattered it. When this happened, the original story, if it contained any truth at all, became disfigured. What do others think of rumor-mongers? Mike Jones explained, “If it’s something that involves them, and they’re just telling someone, that’s their business, but if it’s about someone else, and doesn't even involve them — I don’t like that.” Shane Wood seemed to agree with Mike’s feelings about rumor-mongers. He said, “If you don’t know, then keep your mouth shut!” What about the people who start the rumors and victimized others’ feelings? How did they feel when it was too late? Lonnie stated, If it hurt someone, I guess I would just have to say I was sorry.” A lot of people wished that rumors would just disappear. But what would the world be like without them? Some, like Amy, felt a rumor-free world would have a good effect, because nothing good comes from lies. Others felt that rumors added a little zip to the everyday routine. “It would be boring, in a way, without rumors, but you wouldn’t have to worry about any story being true or not,” is what Jeannie McCoy thought. Shane didn't seem to be bothered much by rumors. He commented, ‘‘They keep the cat fights going. Although people were reluctant to admit it, most were guilty of spreading some type of rumor. Mike admitted, “I’m not one to spread them, but if someone tells me something really good, I can’t keep it to myself, so I tell a trusted friend.” Thus, most WCHS students, during a weak moment, have enjoyed some sort of rumor. This placed all of them into their own “rumormonger” category. — by Catherine Riddle Top: Heather Luedike cheers to the fans during a junior varsity basketball game.

That once in a lifetime thing was freshman physical education. Freshmen were the only ones lucky enough to have the privilege of walking the halls with a wet head after P.E. class. P.E. offered a different kind of experience for freshmen each day. Instead of “cracking the books open, they had the chance to work on their physical condition. “I liked P.E. and I think it was easy, said freshman Eric Malkey. Not all the freshmen felt that way, though. Some didn’t like P.E. and thought it was hard. Some people are wimps and get out of doing things, some want to do it, and some don't,” said cadet Brian Wagner. Many students, especially the girls, thought P.E. should not be a required class. Whether they liked it or not, it was there every week day. In comparison, more boys enjoyed the class than girls. Regardless of who liked it and who didn't, a majority of the freshmen felt that the P.E. program was good. Some days were worse than others. Some days were hard and others were laid back and easy. The one day of the week that was usually easy was Friday, at least for the boys. They usually spent that day playing a game of some sort for fun. Freshman P.E. will go down in history. Whether one liked it or not, everybody went through it. Maybe as one grows older, one can look back and enjoy the memories of walking the halls as a wethead.” — by Pat Hummel Top: Clinton Lewis works up a sweat while pumping iron.

Ranging from the fear of being stuffed into a locker by some oversized upperclassman to an initiation consisting of a quick “swirly in the restroom and getting hit from behind with a board, were just a few of the “minor” fears of the freshman class of 1990. Just being glad to be out of Driver Middle School was great and high school was even better. But some freshmen such as Joe Dudley thought it was going to be boring, with a lot of time to just goof off.” Joe soon found out it wasn't because there was “too much homework, but I like all the girls.” Jerry Baker's idea about high school proved to be true. He said, “It was going to start out boring and end up a blast.” Most freshmen just could not wait until they became sophomores for many different reasons. Jerry wanted to get his license so he could start dating. The main reason, though, was just so they would not be freshmen anymore. There were still some freshmen such a Matt Haney, who said he wasn’t looking forward to becoming a sophomore because to him, “It's a boring in-between time.” Just what was it like to be a freshman? Michelle Ertel said she felt like the baby of the school. Eric Malkey just said, “It felt normal.” Some thought it was really great because there were lots of people and they had a lot of fun. But most of them agreed that the best part of being in high school was either the guys or girls. And the worst part that they had to adjust to was the homework. Like all people, the freshmen judged the upperclassmen by the way they acted towards them. A lot said that upperclassmen acted like jerks” and could be really stupid. But there were a few who liked the upperclassmen and said that they were nice, usually, but at times they were mean. Eric said he just couldn’t wait to be an upperclassman so he could pick on all of the new freshmen. Overall, the freshmen made a lot of friends, and their fears of upperclassmen were gone, yet still lingering in their minds enough so they, too, could try to frighten the next year’s freshmen. Maybe someday all incoming freshmen will stop and realize that it is never really that bad. — by Darla Caupp Top: Debbie Hawley quietly sits in the hall awaiting the arrival of a friend.

The freshman class has always seemed to be the group that was most “put down in any school. Weren't freshmen like the rest of us? Yes! Especially the freshmen at WC. According to class sponsor Mr. Jim Mock, WC had something to look forward to with the class of 1990. “I think the freshman class is a talented class and I’m expecting great things of this class for every year. I’m hoping this class will set a new standard of excellence.” The freshmen seemed to have great potential and academic ability and proved to be on top of things. The forty-two freshmen in the band helped bring a state championship to WC. I didn’t want to be in band because the band hadn’t won state for a while,” said Eric Shultz. But now that I’m in, and we've won own state, I would encourage every incoming freshman to join. It's great!” A lot of people felt the same way about the freshman class. The leadership and school spirit was great. “I think the class has tremendous leadership and school spirit and they work well together,” said class sponsor Mrs. Pat Kna-sinski. “I can see really neat things happening.” All of this was true. With a class the size of the freshman class, it was unique that they worked together as well as they did. As freshman Tom Singer said, “Some will do well and others won't.” That was expected of every class, but the freshmen showed that they knew what was going on at WC and, hopefully, they would continue setting high standards for themselves.

Big eight little nine ... the year for changes Going from eighth grade to ninth grade is like going from a Corvette to a Chevette. It is an adjustment that every freshman must deal with. It is often referred to as Big 8 — little 9. After being at the top in eighth grade, being at the bottom in ninth grade was boring,'' said freshman Dallas Auker. Chari Collins had this to say about being a freshman, “It was kind of bad. because last year we ruled the school and this year we're just kind of here. Whether the other freshmen felt, just kind of here'1 or not, they were definitely noticed. With 182 students in the class, they looked like a huge mob in their section when the students assembled together in the auditorium. Few upperclassmen were intimidated by the freshmen's large numbers though. Most tried to make the freshman feel inferior. The upperclassmen tried to get revenge for the treatment they received when they were freshmen. Despite being made to feel inferior, the freshmen saw some positive points in their position. Most agreed on these points: there was more to do in high school, as far as clubs and organizations: they had made many new friends; they felt more mature and important; and most felt their interests had changed for the better. Overall, many good things came from the experience of being a freshman. Going from the top to the bottom is usually not a whole lot of fun. Even so. the freshmen managed to fit in well and made memories that will last a lifetime. — by Pat Hummel Left: Dawn Krahulec goes for a spike m volleyball as she learns these and other skills in P.E.

During 1987, academics at WCHS provided the necessary challenge. The administration’s renewed emphasis on academics became visible in the awarding of academic jackets for scholastic achievement, and in the various outside awards given to WCHS students. While an administration interested in academics is important, it is the students who must become involved in their own education. 1 Left: Keeping track of the temperature of her chemistry experiment is Rachele Bogard.

An honorable day Slowly the seniors walked down the aisle, one by one, in perfect unison, with Pomp and Circumstance softly floating through the air. Many emotions stirred through that two and a half hour ceremony. Sadness, joy, pride, and a bit of regret could be seen on every senior’s face in the final graduat- ing class of 1987. Every class has its reputations. The class of ’87 was said to do nothing right” by Miss Polly Roberts, class sponsor. Ironically, she pointed out, they worked hard at whatever they did, including freshman Fun-and-games, prom, basketball concessions, and the entire senior year. After the last honor had been presented, the student body sat quietly in the auditorium while the seniors could be heard ringing the old school bell in the commons. The ringing of the bell became a symbol of seniors leaving, never to return. Senior Honor Day 1987 didn't lack any of the qualities for which it has always been known. It was one of the most emotional days of the year for just about everyone, faculty, parents, student body, and seniors included. — by Catherine Riddle Above Left: Smiling with understandable pride is Jerry Alexander.

He had studied hard and made sure that everything was just right. That warm feeling that everything was just perfect crept over him like a warm blanket. He was experiencing a “perfectionist’s high.” Although not everyone experienced a perfectionist’s high, Winchester Community High School had its share of perfectionists prowling its halls. What, exactly, was a perfectionist? Science and math teacher Below: Lisa Moore. Stacey Nance, and Mark Krahulec cut pies for Future Business Leaders of America.

Mr. Ivan Flaugh described a perfectionist as “one who strives fervently for perfection,” but Jenny Hinshaw explained that being a perfectionist meant “achieving superiority in areas of importance to you.” Perfectionism did not exist only in academics. Pat Hummel, all-TEC football player, said that he was a perfectionist in sports because he liked “to push myself and show that I can be as good or better than anyone else.” Although all perfectionists were close to perfect, they were not all the same. Some, like English and French teacher Mrs. Laura North-cutt, believed that they had always been perfectionists. “I was probably more of a perfectionist as a child, simply out of a need to please others, commented Mrs. Northcutt. However, most admitted that they had to consciously strive to be a perfectionist. Marion Auker said, I consciously have to be a perfectionist. If not, something might slip and really ruin my day.” Many things can “ruin a perfectionist’s day, the biggest of which being imperfection. Jenny said that when things don't work out right she feels “disappointed and angry at the world,” and Heike Cockerill agreed, saying that she felt ‘‘mad and discouraged. With a large population of perfectionists, WCHS will constantly strive for perfection, and hopefully, show the signs. — by Tony Smithson Marilyn Alberson, in-school suspension; Ron Anderson, business; Kellie Brown, pre-vocational; Charles Buckley, choral director; Bill Bush.

The vitality of education grew as the world around everyone grew. The teachers at WCHS were trying to improve the quality of education by giving their all. Many teachers set goals for themselves and for their classes. A goal for Mrs. Knasinski was to simply, “Know more kids.” Other teachers’ goals included James Mock, industrial arts; Tom Osborn, math; Dallas Osting. science; Bruce Oswalt. guidance; Lucile Parker, health and physical education; Karen Peters, secretary.

The biggest part of most teachers’ motivations was simply their love for kids. This loving care ensured quality from a teacher. It motivated them to reach deep inside and give and give and give to their students. It was sometimes hard and depressing for teachers to see stu- dents not try to further their education. On the other hand, most teachers agreed that when they saw students starting to understand and put a little effort into school, the bad times were overshadowed by the good. When teachers saw that kids were learning, it was fulfilling and it gave an inner satisfaction. They knew the kids would benefit from it. Many teachers were just like every other high school student and complained about going to school, but they took a look back and realized that their high school years were the best years of their lives. After that realization, they came back to give from where they had received a lot of love and care. As students look back on their high school years, maybe they’ll realize just how valuable those times were in shaping their lives. That’s the kind of atmosphere teachers wanted their students to enjoy — comfortable, worthwhile, and most of all, loving and very beneficial for their lives. — by Pat Hummel 84 Stereotype of a “brain” There are many different stereotypes in a high school. For instance, there are the shy types who don’t get noticed, the ''jocks who get noticed probably too much, and the beauty queens at whom students can’t help but look. Below: Working on buttons for Spanish Club. Ron Reitenour dedicates his time to many organizations. As a sophomore, Ron had to balance his time between extracurricular activities and academics.

Bottom: Contemplating the idea of dousing his partner, senior Tony Smithson grips his water balloon. Tony, as an athlete, still managed to maintain his high academic standing. - But what about the intellectuals? They probably get noticed whenever awards are passed out for academic achievements or when they always seem to know the right answer for every question in class, but did anyone ever notice them for anything else? When someone implies that someone else is “brainy, one naturally tends to picture a person with his nose stuck in a book twenty-four hours a day. But that didn’t always fit this year. For example, junior Jamie Williams was into cross country and track. He stated, “I have to study to do well, but being in sports doesn’t interfere with studies. Just because brains” did well didn’t mean that studying was the only thing they did. And just because one studied a lot didn’t mean he’d instantly make straight A's . Sophomore Ron Reitenour said, “You can tell if people like school because they do well. If there’s something to come to school for, it’s fun.” So it seemed that if one had a good attitude, school was bearable and maybe even exciting. If you had a bad attitude, it probably wasn’t as fun. What about when the report cards came out? Did students' parents tell them that their grades were OK as long as they tried hard? Did parents push students to do better than the last grading period? Grades were important to almost every student. Usually I grades were the determiner of whether or not one was grounded for the next two months. Freshman Steve Hartley added, “My parents don’t say anything but I know they want me to do well.” No matter what stereotype one fit into — the jocks, beauty queens, the shy types, or the intellectuals, it was important for WC students to recognize and appreciate the skills and talents of those around them. This was an important method of learning” for all students, not just the “brains.” — by Belinda McCord Left: Juniors Shawnda Croyle and Joe Fetters demonstrate the proper technique for popping those balloons during fun and games.

Dawn was one of many who weren't afraid to take the plunge into classes different from those that their friends took. Academics come out of the classroom and into the limelight “We don't need no education!” Algebra, history, biology, geography ... Why do I have to learn all this stuff? That’s what many students ask themselves, along with Why do the adults have to get on our nerves with their rubbish?” Teachers wanted to give students a preparation for their lives. They wanted to give young people knowledge of the past and the present to put into use in the future. Teiachers wanted students to have a positive feeling about themselves. One can’t learn about the world if he does not like himself. Teachers wanted to help to create positive thinkers who were good citizens with the re- 86 sponsibility to make the system Below: Discussing Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn are juniors Rod Cook, Tonya Retter, and Junior Kelsey.

Teachers were needed to help set goals and let the students enjoy understanding and they were to give the desire to know more about this world and its people. Academics don’t need to be dry and tedious. All the students needed to be involved. The belief needed to show a relation to the everyday life in the teenager's world. It shouldn't have been just work with the textbook but also discussions and explanations from the teacher. A lot of students saw that they needed to go to school to get the education they needed to find out what their interests were and for the ability to get a job and support themselves in the future. But school wasn't only that. It wasn’t just academics. “School can be fun,” Tom Baldridge stated. “You get to know people, make friends, and learn how to live with them. You learn to see and understand what's going on in this world, about the importance of life, he added. For many years it was more important to be a good athlete than a good student. Most of the appreciation went to the athletes and A and B students got an occasional smile. Now, school administrations try to show the importance of academics. This year, for the first time, academic jackets were presented to students with an “A-” average for three semesters. This was to honor the efforts and the work of those students, and to show that WCHS is proud to have those students. “WCHS tries to offer many different kinds of subjects to the students,” stated Mr. Bruce Oswalt. “We want to train good citizens and want to give a strong background for the young people to handle their future life,’’ he added. Academics are getting more and more important. Employers respect more knowledge than ever. They need qualified people who have an all-around knowledge. School should give students the chance to create themselves as a person they want to become, and to enjoy life to its fullest extent. — by Ulrike Luenenborg Below: Reflecting over his football career, senior Mark Krahulec is honored on senior honor night. He and several other athletes stuck out their sports through it all and deserved this recognition. Bottom: Freshman Homecoming princess Debbie Hawley smiles with satisfaction during the parade. Debbie distinguished herself in many ways, including her service as a cheerleader this year. Below: Senior band member Brad Wagner polishes his shoes for an upcoming contest. Brad was a dedicated member for four years and helped lead the band to its successes this year. Searching for success: inspirations The roar of the crowd gets louder, the tension is great, and the mighty Falcons line up, ready to take whatever comes their way. Lonny Paschal, like the other Falcons, gives it his all. Why? Inspirations. When Lonny was asked who or what inspired him to do his best, he had several answers. “Mr. Hedden inspires me because he expects a lot of me, so I try to do my best.” He found that what inspired him the most were fans. “When fans start yelling, I really get fired up,” Lonny said. Many people had different goals and were inspired in different ways to achieve them. Sometimes students wondered why their friend studied so hard to get an “A” on the civics test or why another friend stayed up until four in the morning to get her English report done. Why did they care? Why didn’t they just take it easy and pass by the skin of their teeth? Senior Michelle Hogg had a logical answer to this question. “Other than my parents instilling it in me to do my best when I was young, I really inspire myself. The next time I do something, I want to do it better and better.” Learning did not always require a teacher and a classroom. The “Force's” main classroom was the football field where they practiced day after day, night after night. Sophomore Holly Hartman, a member of the Force,” was inspired by a popular group — friends. “Friends inspire me be- cause we all primarily do the same things and we inspire and encourage each other to do our best.” That was important in band because it was all team work. Miss Karen King was very active in Future Business Leaders of America as its sponsor. When she was asked who or what inspired her to do her best in FBLA, she said the members. “If they are willing to give it their all and want to learn from it, then I’m willing to give my all to help them.” She also looked up to “a person who asks no more of me than he’s willing to give himself. As mentioned before, inspiration came with the differences in each individual. Daniel Edwards’ inspiration was from a different standpoint than that of others. His inspiration was Jesus. “I am living for Jesus and I do my best in order to give Him a good name,” explained Daniel. When he was asked what his parents would do if he brought home bad grades, he said, They would be disappointed, but I wouldn’t get into trouble. They expect me to do well.” So next time, before a student asks the guy sitting next to him in study hall with his nose in a book, Are you actually studying? he should stop and think. That student may have a special inspiration to make him go that extra mile. And, in the end, it’s usually worth it. — by Lisa Burge 89 Left: Senior Daniel Edwards takes time out to relax with his Bible. Daniel's faith was important to him this year as religious faith was to many students. Below: Learning about photography can be fun, as sophomore Dawn Gray finds out in journalism. The hope of learning something new and helpful inspired many students to undertake different tasks this year. DEFINITELY PHYSICAL tm Athletes give it their all Muscle, sweat, hard work, and pure determination all combined to form the world of WCHS sports. Every athlete showed in his or her own way just what it takes to be a Falcon. From the miles run in preparation for crosscountry or track, to the hours spent perfecting a putt, WC’s athletes showed their pride in themselves and their school. Athletics in 1987 pushed WC’s student-athletes to their highest physical and mental potentials. While many of the teams did earn victories and championships, much more of value was earned from the experience of competition. — by Tony Smithson Top: Stretching for another spectacular shot is Chuck Richardson.

The junior varsity cheerleaders were always happy to be in the spotlight. Spirit soars at WC Sounds of blaring music, loud rumbling, and students screaming and yelling emerge from the auditorium. What could be going on? Well, it’s just another “typical” WCHS pep rally. The cheerleaders of WC did an exceptionally good job of getting the student body to respond in pep rallies this year, making the rallies a great success. I think they’re doing a great job so far this year; the pep sessions have been great,” freshman Michelle Ertel stated. The cheerleaders’ jobs were not all glamor. A lot of hard work and dedicated time went into it. Besides cheering at the athletic events of WC, they spent much time making signs and posters to hang up around the school rooting the teams on. Selling refreshments at games was something they did to earn money to sponsor many of the dances. Crowds changing the cheers at the games and then not responding to the cheers frustrated the cheerleaders. They continued, however, to root the WC team on to victory in spite of their frustration. A feeling of being in a family ex- isted among the cheerleaders because they were always together doing something for the school. “We are all working together and getting things done,” commented Karen Hibbard, a junior varsity cheerleader. It's been really great so far.” Spirit, an abundant amount of energy, and dedication were the qualities that good cheerleaders possess. They are the qualities that the cheerleaders of WC possessed, making them a special and important part of the spirit of WCHS.” — by Tina Hawley Left: Seniors Stacey Nance.

The referee blows the whistle and motions for the serve. The ball is tossed up and smashed over the net for an ace, the point is awarded to the Falcons. The WC volleyers were the county tournament champs and runners-up in the Winchester Invitational Tournament which ended their season with a 11-12 record. Nominations to the all-county team were recieved by four of WC’s talented layers — Krista Campbell, Christy Cox, Jacinda Walters, and Kelli Loyd. The high point of the season was definitely the county tournament championship. Everyone had the desire that day and playing as a team helped us to clinch the title, explained Kelli. The WC volleyers defeated Monroe Central in the final match. The junior varsity season ended in a 7-13 record. The JV played in the Union City Invitational; unfortunately, they were beaten by Monroe Central and Union City, but came back and beat a fine bunch of girls from Union City during regular season play. The JV volleyers got a new coach this year. This was Miss Kathy Koch's first year of coaching volleyball but she had refereed many junior high and middle school matches. This year’s volleyball season was a learning experience for Miss Koch and the JV volleyers. “I feel everyone including myself, learned a lot about high school competition,” Miss Koch explained. Being a new teacher and coach, Miss Koch was impressed with the caliber of girls and the support of all who were involved in the program. Next year’s teams look to have a lot of talent and another exciting year.

Hard work pays off for runners Well, I really don't know what to say, but you guys gave it your best shot,” said cross-country Coach Mr. Ron Anderson. The locker room was just a little darker and maybe a little quieter as the team filed in after the final meet of the year. The 1986 crosscountry season was, by all comparison, a successful season, but it was also disappointing at times. Placing second in Randolph County and also in the Tri-Eastern Conference, the team had something of which to be proud. The team had higher sights, though, but still ended the season with dignity. Leading by example was junior Jamie Williams. After logging over one thousand miles during the summer, and winning the YMCA corporate challenge 5K, Jamie proved a strong competitor. “I knew I had to work hard, and the miles just added up, commented Jamie. Freshman Jerad Garner, a transfer student from Jay County, breathed life into the small team by running in the first position, as well as earning all-county and allconference awards. Senior Ralph Wilson added to the team with strong performances, despite nagging knee and hip injuries. Ralph's times improved over the season, with his best performance coming at the sectional. Returning all-county runner Tony Smithson was also a victim of injuries. After turning in his best race at Union City, Tony was taken out of competition by an inflamed kneecap. The sixth and seventh runners on the team were Brad Cupp and John Jackson. Brad consistently improved, and ended the season as a solid competitor. John, an all-around athlete, ran as the fifth man in the sectional. Through the injuries, sickness, and whatever else the team was put through, the cross-country runners of 1986 survived with pride. — by Tony Smithson I Cross-Country RECORD 6-5 Lincoln WC OPP Wes Del Southern Wells 18 39 Union County 41 40 40 Wapahani Invitational 15 45 Union City 3rd of 10 Hagerstown 18 30 Union City 21 36 Invitational 2nd of 7 Wes Del Cowan 24 31 33 Randolph County Meet 2nd of 5 Union Northeastern 22 20 35 TEC 2nd of 7 Sectional 10th of 16 Top: Pain and disappointment show on the face of freshman sensation Jerad Garner.

The match is close and the last score will weigh heavily in the outcome of the match. This is the anxiety of golf. The girls' golf team seemed to have a relatively small amount of anxiety this year. According to Jenny Hinshaw, one of the two junior members, Miss Roberts was always concerned about how we did. But it was more important that we had a good time, and she was always encouraging us to do just that.” However, some of the girls were at times a little tense on the course, such as freshman Amy Chalfant, who could be distinctly heard on the course by her characteristic BAM scream. I try to encourage my ball to go farther by saying ‘BAM’, said Amy. The girls’ team posted a record of 1-8 with its only win coming against Blue River. The team consisted of two juniors, two sophomores, and the nine freshmen. The team is young and should look good for the upcoming year. Anxiety was a big part of the boys’ season also. Close scores and tense moments filled the fairways. The season was a rewarding one for the Falcons. The team finished the season with a 19-7 record. This is the best finish in recent years. At the County Tournament the Falcons fin- ished second and put Dion Norris, Chuck Richardson, and Don Beatty on the All-County team. At the conference tournament the linksters finished second, but due to regular season points and tournament points finished co-champions in the conference. Don and Dion were also named to the All-Conference team. The reserve team finished with a 9-7 record. The Falcon golf program looks good with a lot of young golfers returning. Their main goal still remains to just have fun. — by Chris Welch and Jenny Hinshaw 98 BOYS' GOLF 11-16 OPP Union City 184 Lincoln 191 Randolph Southern 202 Union City 184 Muncie North 159 Muncie Central 165 Union County 176 Hagerstown 185 Yorktown 150 County Tourney 2nd of 5 Centerville 190 Jay County 169 Richmond Centerville 162 204 Randolph Southern 179 Northeastern 170 TEC 2nd of 7 Union 191 Sectional 8th of 19 WC 181 GIRLS' GOLF 1-8 178 174 175 OPP WC 190 Greenville 259 269 172 Jay County 208 245 191 Muncie North 190 224 172 Shenandoah 208 217 161 Blue River 241 224 Monroe Central 244 263 167 Hagerstown 196 242 164 Delta 198 234 164 Jay County 214 234 161 169 189 Sectional 8th of 9 Junior Varsity Record 9-7 Right: Chris Welch oberves as his shot narrowly misses the third hole.

The girls completed an undefeated season at 14-0. According to Coach Kiser, who coached both the girls' and boys' teams, It was the first undefeated season in the history of girls' or guys' tennis at WC. The winning began at number one singles with junior Heike Cockerill. In her second season at this position, Heike won the Tri-Eastern Conference and also upheld a perfect season, losing to no one in dual meets. With a record of 7-5, the boys' varsity tennis team was also successful. Coach Kiser believed that her seniors made all of the difference. She explained, “It was probably the most sentimental season because those seniors really turned guys’ tennis around. These seniors included Bill Shepherd, Chuck Richardson, Chris Welch, and Brian Rhotehamel and Todd Pegg, who won the TEC at number one doubles.

Mr. Osborn said that he had wanted to accomplish two goals: beating Yorktown and winning the Tri-Eastern Conference. The Falcons did just that by defeating Yorktown 12-7 at their own Homecoming, which was the first win over the Tigers since 1978, and by becoming co-champs in the TEC with a record of 5-1.

In the eyes of Coach Ron Anderson, Attitude was a major factor in the wrestling team’s success this season.” The wrestlers combined talent and team spirit to compile a record of twelve wins and one loss. The very skilled Falcons achieved fifteen individual champions in tournament competition. These included Shane Jones, winning the county meet in the 145 pound class; Ron Rodeffer placing first in the Tri-Eastern Conference; Darrell Barnes placing first in the county meet and in the Sectional; Matt Hoover placing first in the county meet, in the TEC, and in the Sectional; Lonny Paschal winning the county meet, the TEC, Sectional, and the Adams Central Invitational; and Todd Gullett winning the county meet, the TEC, Sectional, and the Regional. In addition, the Falcon wrestlers also set nine new school records. They included four quick pin records, set by Darrell Barnes, Shane Jones, Lonny Paschal, and Matt Hoover; two new team records were set, and Todd Gullett added three new individual records. The wrestling team also placed first in the County Tourna- ment and in the TEC. Senior Todd Gullett became the first two-time Regional champion from WC. Todd felt, The teams ability to pull together and win the big matches,” was the key to their winning season. The junior varsity wrestlers also had a winning season, finishing up with a record of six wins, three losses, and two ties. Overall the wrestling team proved that strong teamwork and a good attitude are essential to a victorious season. — by Jerry Alexander Varsity Wrestling Record 12-1 WC OPP Daleville 51 18 Union City 39 25 Muncie North 45 17 Lincoln 63 3 Wapahani 57 10 Monroe Central 41 19 Eastbrook 60 12 Wes-Del 29 44 Northeastern 39 21 Union County 51 21 Union Adams Central 54 15 Invitational 6th of 8 Hagerstown Randolph County 61 12 Tourney 1st of 5 Centerville 63 5 TEC 1st of 7 Sectional 2nd of 5 ■■■■■MB Front: Rod Rodeffer, Don Selby, Jeff Bergman, Ron Rodeffer, Ted Halcomb, Joe Ford.

The team won its first seven games; it was the best start in the history of WCHS. It included two wins in the new Winchester Classic and a win over Union City, which gave the Falcons the County Horseshoe for the first time since 1980. The county tournament was once again not good to the Falcons. The team received its first ‘ ss of the year and lost the newly won horseshoe to the eventual county champion, Randolph Southern. Todd Pegg was named as a member of the All-County Tournament team. The Falcons finished conference play with a 3-3 record, which was good enough for fourth in the TEC. Todd Pegg was again Left: Going up for another two points is senior Brent Baumgartner. Brent contributed heavily in scoring for the Falcons. All-Conference team, and Brent Baumgartner was named honorable mention. At the Richmond Sectional, WC reached the championship game where the Falcons lost to the state runner-up, Richmond. It made the third straight year that Richmond had eliminated the Fal cons from the Sectional since WC had moved to the Richmond Sectional three years ago. Brent Baumgartner was voted to the All-Sectional team by the Muncie Star, Richmond Palladium Item, and the Winchester News Gazette. Todd Pegg was voted first team by the Winchester News Gazette, and second team by the Muncie Star and Richmond Palladium Item. The rollercoaster effect was more evident after the county tournament. Periods of streaks and slumps were common.

There were the heartbreak losses to Muncie Burris in double overtime and to New Castle. The losses to Northeastern, when a last second shot wouldn’t fall, and to Randolph Southern, while trying to get back the earlier won County Horseshoe, all hurt. This was a season to remember at WC. It had many hard-fought wins and some hard-taken losses. But one thing that stood out about this team was that they ,ave it their all every time they went out onto the court, no matter what team they were playing. The rollercoaster ride ended in a loss to Richmond, the fact that the team made it to finals of the Sectional showed that the rollercoaster was on its way up. — by Christopher Welch Above: With a look of intensity, junior Marty Hardwick watches his teammates.

The Lady Falcons have won the Randolph County Tournament for the first time in the history of Winchester girls' basketball. The 1986-87 season was a highly successful one for the WCHS Lady Falcons. The team won its first county title, and continued its winning streak by taking the Randolph Southern Sectional. Progressing to the Regional at Greenfield, the Lady Falcons met up with a good Rushville team that ended their successful season. Coach Steve Howell said that the team worked hard and improved with every game. The combination of hard work and improvement produced one of the best seasons that the Lady Falcons had ever had. Four seniors were graduated from the team in 1987. They were Natalie Tanner, Jenifer Brown, Shannon Norris, and Krista Campbell. Junior Shannon Hartley explained how this loss would affect the team when she stated, The seniors provided excellent leadership and were always good motivators. The team will miss Senior Shannon Norris shows a big grin as she receives her All-County medal. Four Lady Falcons were awarded spots on the All-County team.

Jenifer, Shannon, and Krista have played basketball together since the seventh grade. Natalie has been playing basketball with the three of them since she moved to Winchester in her junior year. All four seniors could easily say that their basketball careers were extremely successful. The Lady Falcons found out that basketball wasn’t all fun and games. There was a lot of hard work involved, if one wanted to win. All of the hard work definitely paid off for the Lady Falcons as they ended their season with a 15-6 record. — by Shannon Norris Left: Varsity Coach Steve Howell hands the county key to cheerleader Lisa Moore.

Enjoying its first winning season in many years, the boys’ junior varsity basketball team rose to a .record of 11-9. After the promotion of the key talent, many people thought the junior varsity's performance would decline. Sophomore Jeff Lahey linked the team members' performance to their positive attitude when he said, We never give in; we hate to lose, so we never stop trying.” The girls’ junior varsity basketball team also enjoyed a winning season by earning a record of 12-6. The girls rocketed to the top of their conference by not only having a winning season, but by winning the County Tournament as well. Freshman Kathy Zell felt the team's success was the result of team work. She said, We worked as a team — together.” The boys’ freshman basketball team enjoyed a successful season, when they formed a combination for winning.

Senior Pat Hummel was a county champion in the 400 meter relay and qualified for a Sectional in the low hurdles event. Pat was followed by Jason Franke and Chad Moore, who were both county champions and Sectional qualifiers: Jason qualifying in the discus and Chad in the shotput. Darrel Barnes was also a county champion in the 100, 200, and 400 relay. He was the only member of the track team who was also a TEC champion in the 100 meter dash.

The Falcons ended the season with a winning record of 19-8. Junior Andy Bush felt that, We really worked hard, and that made the wins feel even better.” Wins became a large part of the varsity team's season, with many of them coming at vital moments. The Falcons came through to place second in the Tri-Eastern Conference, and to advance to the finals of the Sectional. Unfortunately, the Falcons' attempt at a second consecutive Sectional victory was halted by the Muncie Central Bearcats. Any successful team is a mixture of many elements, and this varsity baseball team was no exception. It was really a successful mixture,” stated Andy, ‘‘with some quiet guys, and some more talkative ones, but we worked well together, and that's what counts. The junior varsity baseball team was no less successful than the varsity team, finishing with a record of 9-4. Many junior varsity players were moved up to varsity positions, and will undoubtedly be valuable in the future. Winning rarely comes easily, and in the words of Bruce Taylor, “We worked hard for what we got, but it was worth it.” — by Tony Smithson BASEBALL RECORD 19-8 Loogootee WC 2 OPP 9 Union City 3 6 Loogootee 11 2 Wapahani 3 4 South Adams 2 0 Northeastern 14 1 Jay County 3 0 Tri Valley 9 2 Union City 10 0 Union County 7 6 Union City 6 0 Union County 9 5 Adams Central 7 2 Knightstown 6 8 Hagerstown 2 3 Knightstown 7 5 Lincoln 8 3 Centerville 7 6 Yorktown 5 2 Muncie Burris 15 7 Union 3 4 Monroe Central 10 6 Union 10 4 Wapahani 12 3 Cowan 11 0 TEC 2nd place Union 14 0 RESERVE BASEBALL RECORD 9-4 Above Left: Chris Wolfe watches the action on the field.

Somehow books, classes, and homework leave us wondering if this could possibly be even a good time of our lives. Something must add itself to these four years to make them a time to remember. Through the piles of books bursts the answer to students' prayers — activities. Clubs and organizations filled students' empty hours. Throughout the year students flocked to meetings, dances, and parties put on by the various organized groups within the student body. — by Tony Smithson Left: Librarian Miss Polly Roberts checks answers during a Hoosier Academic Bowl meet.

National Honor Society made the difference in many of the academic competition outcomes. A new academic competition started this year which included the student body during fifth period. Classes gathered in the auditorium to compete in a game called “Trivial Pursuit” with questions gathered from English, math, history, physical education, industrial arts, and science. Mrs. Pat Knasinski’s Spanish IA class correctly answered the final question to win a pizza party. October came, and so did the annual Indiana Hoosier Spell Bowl. Ten students from each school in this region got together in Anderson to test their talents in spelling. WC participants included Lisa Bates, Dave Beilis, Ray Young, Kim St. Myers, Heike Cockerill, April Hersberger, Jenny Hinshaw, Marion Auker, Andrea Barnes, and Dawn Gray. Although they didn’t win, they had a lot of fun participating, and acquired some experience for future academic competitions. The Eastern Academic League was the next group to meet. There were three actual events. The first was in October at Hagerstown. The second meet was at Winchester in December. The third took place in March. Eighteen students from WC met nine other area schools, to compete in various events, in which all stu Class representative Mike Jones attempts to defeat his opponent at Trivial Pursuit.

The Academic Decathlon was the next major competition in which six students and three alternates traveled to Anderson to take six written tests, write an essay, give a prepared speech and an impromptu speech, and be interviewed. And if that wasn’t enough, they also got together to answer a “super quiz” question at the end of the day. The competing students from WC were Jenny Hinshaw, Tony Smithson, Cody Acree, Shari Spradling, Marcia Peters, and Tonya Thompson. The alternates included were Jeff Chalfant, Kathy Wolfe, and April Hersberger. The competition was based on ten events, and scores were tabulated throughout the day. At the end of the day, the scores were added up to determine the winners. Winchester finished fifth out of eight teams at the end of the day. All in all. National Honor Society members were the turning point for most competitons. Members had to have a minimum grade point average of 8.75. They must also have attended WC for a full year. The faculty was then surveyed regarding eligible students. The final selection was made by a faculty council consisting of five teachers who were appointed by the principal. This was also determined through service, character, and leadership qualities. Honor Society had many other projects and services, such as visiting residents at the nursing home, counseling elementary students, holding dances, and acting as tour guides in the spring for incoming freshmen. These projects, among many others, typified the academic involvement of WCHS students. Through their activities, the school met the academic challenge of the 1986-87 school year. — by Mark Krahulec Top Left: Honor Society initiates: Front Row: Seated: Jenny Cox, Holly Hartman, Lena Herr.

Leadership at its best “You begin to understand more about the business community — how it functions and how it affects us,” emphasized Future Business Leaders of America member Heike Cockerill. The WC chapter of FBLA is by far one of the most active and successful organizations, boasting a membership that exceeds 130 students. One of the goals of FBLA has been to prepare students to enter the business community in the future. Several activities were held to build cooperation with business, professional, and service organizations within the community in order to achieve this goal. These activities included the Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Dinner, a canned food drive for Community and Family Services, and a rock-a-thon for the March of Dimes: Also included was “Monument Munchies Day” during which members donated sweets to be sold with profits given towards the restoration of the monument in Indianapolis. All of these activities provided opportunities to learn and become involved to FBLA members. Other activities allowed the entire school to become involved in the excitement of FBLA. A publicity day was held to inform and aquaint the student body with FBLA. A special breakfast for the faculty and staff and a tea on Na- Right: Junior and Senior Members: First Row: Miss Karen King.

In addition, FBLA sponsored an all-school dance and a booth at the eighth grade orientation to encourage incoming freshmen to join the organization. One of the highlights every year has been state competition. Our chapter was once again named the number one chapter in the state. This was just one of the many honors that the chapter members brought back to WC. A major link in the chapter's success this year was its presi- dent, Mike Short. According to the 1987-88 president, Heike Cockerill, Mike’s leadership has been tremendous. His knowledge of parliamentary procedure and overall business practices will definitely help me next year. Living up to Mike's great job won’t be an easy task. The leadership of the other of-fiers was also irreplacable. These officers were Stacey Nance, secretary; Marcia Peters, treasurer; Amy Wood, reporter; Heike Cockerill and Shelly Starbuck, historians; and Chad Moore, Jamie Williams, Krista Hendrickson, and Shannon Hartley, projects committee.

Drama club and student council are two such groups, but their activities were quite different. One positive experience is student council, which has been under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Chalfant for the past eleven years. It gave its members a chance to see how a business meeting is really run. “I have gained an understanding of exact- ly how government works. Not only in its structure, but the pressures and procedures that make it work, stated John Jackson. Student council was in charge of many school activities, including homecoming, carnation and donut days, the Susie Green Fund, and sponsoring school dances. The '86-87 school year brought many new ideas to student council, including a new balloon service. Balloons, cards, and cupcakes were delivered at lunch on Above: Student council president John Jackson attracts a spotlight as he emcees the Extravaganza.

Approximately every two weeks, interviews of students or teachers who were involved in upcoming events were broadcast on WZZY radio. For the first time in WC's history, a student, Amy Chalfant, was elected to the office of District Representative to the IASC. (Indiana Association of Student Councils) “I know that this is a big responsibility, being the first person to be a representative from Winchester, but I hope I can help our chapter and our district to become well established on a state level. The drama club contributed many positive experiences including the fall play Arsenic and Old Lace. Impressive performances by seniors Tony Smithson, Michelle Hogg, Joni Jackson, and Chris Welch, and sophomores Tony Grow and Steve McCord helped to make the play a huge success. Also sponsored by the drama club was the Air-Band Contest. The winning lip sync was Kevin Pugh, Shane Girton, and Bill Shepherd's rendition of Fight for Your Right (to PARTY!).

Isn’t it exciting to slip into a new culture, to learn how to communicate with, and understand different people? The Spanish and the French Clubs did even more than “just” teaching Spanish and French. The clubs tried to give their members a taste of French and Spanish cultures. A second language enabled the student to become a part of people's lives, to communicate with them. A person who spoke the language was no longer just a visitor to a foreign country; he was able to understand the culture and become a citizen of the world. The ability to communicate in a different language was important, it gave the student a better understanding of customs, traditions, habits, lifestyles which might have once seemed strange to him.

That was why, besides studying dry grammar and practicing the proper pronunciation, activities like visiting a French play, fixing a Mexican meal, or going to a French restaurant, were involved. The big event for Spanish students was the long awaited trip to Mexico which was judged a big success. With Mr. and Mrs. Frank Knasinski — as chaperones, the students enjoyed visiting such places as Mexico City and Guadalajara. Different money making projects like candy sales and button sales were used to finance the activities. The French Club sold Val-O-Grams as a special service. Teamwork between the students and the teachers was relaxed and friendly in the foreign language classes. Miss Francoeur, the French teacher who substituted for Mrs. Laura Northcut during her maternity leave, was welcomed by all the French students for the last two-thirds of the second semester. Both clubs stressed the importance of learning a foreign language for future use. Maybe it was not always easy to force yourself to study your vocabulary, but wasn’t it worth it? After all, speaking another language made you more able to be a world traveler. — by Ulrike Luenenberg SPANISH CLUB. Continuing Members: First Row: Sponsor Mrs. Pat Knasinski. Jamie Williams.

Providing positive support “All three clubs are excellent support groups that can help you in many ways, said Michelle Hogg. What was she talking about? Fellowship of Christian Students, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Students Against Driving Drunk. “FCA tries to provide a Christian atmosphere for the athletes at WC. Their objectives aren't to force religion on anyone, but to provide more of a Christian atmosphere for those athletes who are Christians, stated John Jackson. 128 Above: Working diligently on his PSAT test is Ben Hendrickson. Ben and his sister Rena helped to organize the FCS chapter. Right: Showing a chest full of spirit during Homecoming is FCA member Scott Kritsch. FCA members were deeply involved in their school. FCA was started in 1971 by Mr. Bill Bush. He felt this organization helped athletes realize games should be played a certain way. He also felt it helped them set examples to other athletes. “SADD is something I believe in,” commented Cody Acree. “I don’t believe people should drive drunk, and this club gives the students an opportunity to show their opinion.” Michelle also believed the New Year’s Eve dance sponsored by SADD was very beneficial by keeping kids from drinking, then going out and driving. Thursa Halcomb summed it up best when she said, ‘‘These clubs are for our benefit — not anyone else’s. We should use these to help our school grow stronger and better.” — by Tonya Thompson Above Left: FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN STUDENTS. First Row: Rena Hendrickson. Jodell Hendrickson.

The connection was in the Future Homemakers of America and Future Farmers of America. Both of these clubs were open to boys and girls but there was a general lack of knowledge about both organizations. So, the question was, ‘‘How does one get the students interested?” FHA members seemed to have gained interest either from other family members or their friends. Others joined just for the activities such as candy sales, Daddy Date Night,” and the Sweetheart Dance. In FFA, a lot of students joined with friends. They all wanted the distinct advantage of knowing how to become good farmers. FFA treasurer Andrea Barnes had a lot to say about FFA. Her hopes for the future included living on a farm and also becoming a veterinarian. She didn't let the fact that farms were failing bother her, even though she knew it should. The reason for this was because, as she said, ‘‘We aren't ‘in the hole’ and the problem doesn't affect us. We live on a Top: Julie Fox is involved in FHA as well as sports.

As for FHA, Denae Stonerock jokingly said her hopes from FHA were to become the President of the United States. Other members really had no hopes coming from FHA except to have been a member. Shawnda Barnes, president of FHA, felt she was gaining the ability to handle responsibility from FHA. However, Michelle Clouse was simply gaining friendship and having fun participating in FHA. For those students who wondered what exactly FHA and FFA were, the answer was simply stated. As Andrea explained, FFA is a preparation for the future of farming because one day when we are turned loose, there we are. Through FFA, you learn what to do on the farm which gives you an advantage over others.” Andrea also had a good insight on the future of the American farm and farmer. She didn’t feel that future farms will be as prosperous as they should. ‘‘The farmer will always be looking for a better way to care for the average farm, she emphasized. FHA seemed to be a lighter sub- ject, in a sense. It was best explained by Michelle Clouse as being an exciting organization, concerned about the enrollment. FHA allows you to experience new friendships and lets you support your school and get involved in the school. Whatever their reasons for joining, whether it was for friendship, activities, or fun, members would have to agree that they had a great time doing it. — by Darla Caupp Above Left: Kelly Chalfant is in FHA as well as many other organizational activities. Above: Lena Herr and Andrea Barnes participated in one of the many dress up days at WCHS. along with their vocational agriculture classmates Mark Gough, Dale Ralston, and John Beals. Above: Mike Keys and Mr. Keith Snyder work together to fix the gears in an old tractor. 131 Lighting the way Lighting the way to a desired future, the Muncie Area Career Center and the Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education programs offered many opportunities to and for WC students. Tom Shores, a student at the career center, and Geoff Williams of the ICE program, agreed that the programs in which they were involved were a major advantage in helping them succeed in their desired fields of employment. Mark Krahulec, a member of the ICE program, loved the idea of only going half a day to school and a half a day to work, making a little money on the side. Bob Peden, another student at MACC, felt deprived because of the restriction on students that they couldn’t run for an office because of their inability to be at school full time. Bob said he himself didn’t have the interest in being a class officer, but he felt the Above Left, ICE. PM. Front Row: Lisa Bates.

Above: Michelle Clouse is involved in MACC as well as FHA. 132 rule was unfair because someone might really want to take part in both ICE or MACC and the position of class officer. Both the MACC and the ICE programs were open to many fields. ICE was open to all trades that led to a career opportunity. In this program, students actually did the work they would be doing, receiving pay for their time and work. The career center, on the other hand, was more or less a trade school where students learned from the certified experts in the area of their chosen careers to get the knowledge and to gain basic skills for their desired work after high school. Mr. Bruce Oswalt, who helped with the MACC students, said that WCHS was just a feeder school joining in with a larger school, where students could have a longer period training on their ca- reers. It was very expensive to send students to the career center, but Mr. Oswalt said, It is definitely worth the time and money, for we have had students go into a job that they have chosen right when they got out of school. These programs have been proven successful and will remain important options for WC students who are concerned about the future. — by Bryan Barnett Above Left: Christy Cox shows her fun-loving spirit.

There isn’t much to say in a closing that hasn’t already been covered in the preceding 159 pages, but there are a few people who deserve a special thanks. We would like to thank Mr. Bill Keever for ail of the work that he did with the pictures in this book. Along the lines of photos, we would also like to thank Mr. Phil Wray for the great band photo. Because photos aren’t the only things in a yearbook, we required the assistance of Mr. Robert Farlow for our artwork, and for that we thank him. I, as editor-in-chief, would like to thank Jenny Hinshaw, the assistant editor, for everything that she has done over the past two years. Mrs. Margo Varner, the adviser, along with Elizahbeth Riddle, the business manager, also deserve my deepest thanks. Mrs. Kathy Stonerock aided us during the second semester during the arrival of Chauncey Andrew Varner into Mrs. V’s life, and that was greatly appreciated. Just as all years must end, all are remembered. This one will be remembered dearly by me, and I hope by everyone else, too. — by Tony Smithson Editor-in-Chief, 1987 Golden Era Top Left: Catherine and Elizabeth Riddle show that sisters can work well together on the yearbook staff.

Definitely. It’s strong. It’s bold. It’s exciting. It’s WCHS. This year had a feeling of adrenaline flowing, and a sense of togetherness as more and more emphasis was placed on “we” rather than me.” Students were beginning to feel the need for unity. It was time for us to wake up. When we first realized that as individuals we were able to achieve great things, it seemed only logical that together, the possibilities were endless. Instead of sitting back, com- plaining but not acting, watching in disappointment, learned to acknowledge that v small effort from those who ‘ the necessity of breaking mold, improvements could ea be made. With each minute st we unconsciously built tow one common goal. We could d nitely make WC the school t we wanted it to be. — Jenny Hinshaw and Elizabeth Riddle
