And The Difference Is Things at WC are always changing. Students change. The administration and faculty change. Cliques change. Customs change. Virtually everything changes at one point or another. The Golden Era staff has decided that 1988 will be our year to change. Our goal is to make this book unique and one that WC students can take seriously and always remember. To reach this goal, we are incorporating a lot of new ideas into this book. Some of these changes, such as a distinct type style, will probably go unnoticed. Others, like our original style of writing, will be obvious. We hope that you will like the blend of changes and that they will make our book one of your best and most lasting memories of WC. One of the most important changes that we can make is to stop — by Jenny Hinshaw TOP: Sophomores Matt Hollingsworth and Clint Armstrong wait expectantly for the beginning of the water balloon toss during Fun and Games.

WC students showed a lot of support for one another. Taking Ourselves Seriously taking ourselves so seriously. A lot of people seem to get too wrapped up in school. They place too much importance on many things. Getting good grades. Winning the upcoming game. Scoring a 1400 on the SAT. Getting a date for Saturday night. All of these things seem life threatening. But why must everyone always take everything so seriously? With this idea in mind, we selected our 1988 theme, “Seriously.” As the cover suggests, we want to show the fun side of WC. We don’t want to ignore the serious things, but we would like to expose those infuriatingly serious students to the worthwhile, entertaining side of life that they are missing out on, possibly without even realizing it. We want to present things from a different angle to show the most positive, unusual aspects of life at WC. To begin with, let’s take a look at — by Jenny Hinshaw TOP: Bracing themselves for the upcoming tug-of-war, Mr. Kellie Stephen and Mr. Sanford Breuckheimer count the remaining seconds.

After assuming his new responsibilities, moments of relaxation became harder to come by for Mr. Oswalt. New Leaders — New Purposes administration. Atmosphere. One of the most notable but subtle changes in WC during the 1987-88 school year, according to new principal Mr. David Gibson, was in the atmosphere. With Mr. Gibson’s new duties and new positions for Mr. Bruce Oswalt and Mr. Kellie Stephen, who shared the responsibilities of assistant principal, changes were bound to occur. Mr. Gibson and Mr. Oswalt commented on the improved student and faculty morale, identifying this as one of the most positive qualities of WC. WC’s new administrators voiced one common goal. Mr. Stephen explained, “If I could change anything about our school, I would make it a requirement that every student had to be involved in an activity outside the classroom. A lot of students miss out on extracurricular activities and the ‘fun’ things in high school.” In the past few years, the emphasis on academics has been increased. Mr. Oswalt compared the importance of athletics and academics to the students and faculty. “It’s a good mix,” he stated. “The pendulum has swung to a positive point and we have begun to recognize academics.” Mr. Stephen reiterated that WC students rank favorably in academics when compared with national and state level surveys. While this point was pleasing, he also noted that WC could still improve. “There are always things to improve.” Mr. Oswalt added that much of the success that WC enjoyed resulted from good community support. This support carried WC to many triumphs which helped in maintaining pride and positive attitudes toward WC. Becoming an administrator wasn’t a simple transition. Mr. Gibson explained that he had wanted to have more control over what took place in the school. But with his increased leadership, he was forced to take on many more responsibilities. “There are an awful lot of things that I have to go to,” he admitted, “and the hours are long.” All in all, Mr. Gibson enjoyed his new position. “I have to make the decisions,” he stated. And these decisions were extremely important to students and faculty because of their great effect on WC. Although WC went through some serious changes, the success and pride continued in the tradition that has always been the trademark of WC. Speaking of success and pride, let’s talk about — by Jenny Hinshaw Pursuit Of Victory Homecoming, one of the most outstanding events of each year. “When the results were read, I was just glad that it was over with so I smiled, but on the inside I was wondering when 1 could take off my tie,” stated Chris Franklin when Jason Franke and Jacinda Walters were crowned the 1987 Homecoming king and queen. Besides the reigning royalty the court included king candidates Chris Franklin and Matt Osborne and queen candidates Nancy Nordloh and Stephanie Lawson. The princesses were junior Shannon Fisher, sophomore Jodi Miller, and freshman Shelby May. Stephanie said, “I felt happy for Jacinda because it didn’t matter to me. I was just happy to be one of three.” Another highlight of Homecoming was Fun and Games. Since it was the class of 88’s final Fun and Games, they really got it all together and ended up winning the spirit stick. Nina Jones commented, “I’ve never seen a class that had such a ‘careless’ attitude change it to a caring one with the whole class doing it as one. Remarkable!” That summed the feeling up pretty well. Scott Hargrave remarked, “1 was excited! It was our last chance to win and we pulled together and got the job done.” The final event of Homecoming — the one everyone was looking forward to — was the football game against Winchester’s long running rival, the Union City Indians. Since it was the Falcon’s Homecoming and we were going against the enemy Indians, this year had a special flare that proved to be a bright one, beating the Indians 48-0. From Scott’s point of view, as a senior football player, the game was no different than any other. “I entered every game and played my heart out. The only thing that made that game different was the title ‘Homecoming’.” Mr. David Gibson explained, “The enthusiasm and participation of the students and faculty was by far my favorite thing about Homecoming.” All in all, Homecoming was a big success. As Tony Grow explained, the seniors were happy with winning the spirit stick, the student council and faculty members were pleased with the dance, and the football team was happy they played well. “In fact,” Tony reflected, “the only unhappy people after Homecoming were the Indians.” Happiness resulted from the success of Homecoming. But what did it take to make such events successful? One of the key factors behind many events was fundraising. So, let’s move on to take a look at — by Catherine Riddle ABOVE: Juniors Tony Grow, David Baldridge, and Ron Reitenour enact the Homecoming theme, “Life. Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY the lighter side of selling. “Would you like to buy Almost anyone who belonged to an organization at WC had to approach someone with that opening line at one time or another. It all came down to a simple need for money. Everyone needed money and the clubs and organizations at WC were no exception. In order to raise this money, though, the members had to sell, sell, sell! And sell they did! Anything from Christmas wreaths to candy bars and magazines to other munchies could be bought from a group of WC students at one time duing the school year. What else could anyone ask for? Jewelry? Well, they had that, too. All this selling did tend to get a little tiresome for all involved. Sometimes you just have too many organizations selling at once,” Susan Beilis commented. “It seems every time 1 turn around I'm selling something new.” “I’m supposed to sell things for the class, Spanish Club, FBLA, and athletics, but sometimes I don’t get around to it,” added Kathy Wolfe. This selling had gone on for so long that it had become a tradition with some customers as well as the sellers. “I am expected to sell things from FBLA and to sell candy bars,” said Susan. Kahty agreed, “Every year people expect me to sell Spanish Club candy bars.” With all this selling going on, where did everyone find customers? They sold to everyone from students in the halls at school to people on the bus, and if they sold to no one else, they definitely asked their family members, “Would you like to buy ... ?” Generally, people were receptive to what was being sold, “Unless it costs big bucks,” Kathy added. “I try to tell them what I’m selling for,” said Susan. Even the yearbook itself could not be published without staff members selling advertisements to businesses in the community. Everyone got tired of this endless selling, but it was a necessity to keep WC’s organizations running smoothly. Although many students did not enjoy selling candy bars or other food items, most students did enjoy eating them. Let’s move on to — by Jana Barnes RIGHT: Trying to sell the audience on her story, Jacinda Walters competes in the Miss Mardi Gras Pageant. Convincing people of the need to buy something was important to all WC salesmen. ABOVE: Mr. Brad Roberts displays the benefits from fundraising.

' BELOW: Freshmen Brian Peters and Melanie Monroe try to avoid eating their team’s lifesaver at Fun and Games FOOD + FUN = FOOD FIGHTS the lighter side of eating. Yum! Yuck! Good! Fair! What were the students’ reactions toward the school lunch? How did it compare to other lunches, and what were some of the likes and dislikes of the lunch? Could the cafeteria’s atmosphere be improved or was it great the way it was? When Winchester students participated in the movie at Indianapolis, the students strongly disapproved of their lunch. Most of the students said they would rather eat the school’s lunch; it was much better! Looking at it this way, the school lunch could be compared with other lunches and come out ahead. Most of the students tasted just about every dish the cafeteria prepared, and there were some likes and dislikes. Everyone’s favorite, of course, was pizza. Students said it was not the Pizza Hut, but it was pizza, so they ate it. The most noted dislike was the cheeseburger. A couple of stu- dents noted that no one wanted to eat cold cheeseburgers, with cheese that wasn't even melted. Surprisingly, though, there were a lot more likes than dislikes. Was the cafeteria’s atmosphere poor? If so, how could it have been improved? Kelli Loyd said, “Possibly listen to some music.” If the students listened to the radio, that could have increased the noise instead of decreasing it. Andrea Barnes had a different view and stated, The atmosphere is boring unless there is a food fight.” So it seemed the cafeteria’s atmosphere was very boring, and was only fun when a teacher's back was turned, and a student was able to throw food across the room and start a small food fight. There were other fun activities that took place. They included standing up, usually on Friday, to chant and mutilate the silverware while cheering for a sports team scheduled to compete that night. The Little Debbie snack bar was a lifesaver for those students who did not eat the school’s lunch. But, nothing could please everyone because students said that the snack bar could also improve. Others said it had improved greatly from previous years. If the snack bar was to be done away with, most of the students would have starved, because they depended greatly on it, and they simply refused to eat the school’s lunch. Revealing some of the unknown facts about the school lunch proved something. It was not all that bad, and if one was simply “starving to death he would eat the school’s lunch and sometimes the lunch might have even been better than what a mother or father was able to cook — or a movie studio. While most students learned to properly dispose of the trash from their meals, some students still had a severe problem with — by Lanie Manning Is This Really Necessary? trash collecting. Slowly he opened his locker about half an inch. He then thrust his hand through the opening, pulled out a book, slammed his locker shut, and was on his way. “I wonder why he didn’t open his locker all of the way?” she thought to herself. “I wonder is there’s something in there that he doesn’t want anyone to see? Well, I’m going to find out,” she said softly to herself as she stealthily sneaked toward the locker. She yanked on the handle. It would not budge. She gave it a couple of kicks, then braced her feet and pulled with all of her might. All of a sudden she found herself amidst books, papers, lunch leftovers, and other unidentified debris. She had run into one of WC’s many “trash collectors.” Trash collecting seemed to be a favorite pasttime, or maybe a bad habit, of WC’s students and faculty. “I would be lost if anyone tried to clean up after me. 1 like my things to be neatly cluttered,” commented sophomore Lisa Piersall. “A clean house is a lonely house,” were the words of Mrs. Sonda Hawley. Had you ever noticed posters around the school announcing a dance or meeting in August and it was now April? This was another common habit of trash collectors. Mrs. Hawley and Mrs. Kathy Stone-rock, who were notorious trash collectors and openly admitted it, often found that they lost things or found notices lying around about missing meetings two months ago or things that they had been looking for for months. A lot of “messy” people found it uncomfortable to be in an organized surrounding. Likewise, a lot of “neat” people found it distressing to be near unorganized people. “I guess ‘clutter’ makes me feel comfortable. I can’t explain it any other way,” confessed Mrs. Stonerock. Mrs. Laura Northcutt, a noted “neat” person, explained that she could not stand to see things just lying aound. She thought organization was very important and stressed organization in the classroom. While some WC students were neat and others were unorganized, to say the least, one would probably agree that being comfortable was the most important fact. Whether they were a “neat nut” or a “trash collector, WC’s students and faculty somehow found a way to get along and enjoyed another great year together. Some people could not escape the desire to get away from the “neat nuts” and the “trash collectors.” For these people, there was only one way out. They were forced to seriously consider the advantages of — by Tina Hawley RIGHT: Encouraging WC students not to be trash collectors is Mark Scharenbroich.

Like people cut holes in their jeans and they look good sometimes. 1 was going to buy normal jeans and shoot 'em with a shotgun and sell ’em. It would look good. 15 The Great Escape vacations. “Vacations, all that’s ever wanted! Vacations, a time to get away! Vacations are meant to be left alone!” The Go-Go’s hit song, “Vacations,” perfectly described the crazy and zany lives that teens led when they migrated to warmer climates over spring, Christmas, and summer breaks. But what exactly was the motive that encouraged youths to just pack up and leave? “Party down! was what the majority of students claimed to be the most important reason for vacationing. “Sleep all day and stay awake all night” seemed to be the motto to live by as dozens of WC party animals hit the beaches of America. Whether it was the snow-capped mountains of Colorado or the bright lights of New York City, vacations held one true meaning: relaxation. Knowing that one didn’t have to get out of bed on a Monday morning to face piles of books was a heavy load off one’s mind. So, what precisely came to mind at the mention of the word “vacation”? I think of long drives,” admitted freshman Ryan Johnson. While some thought of fun in the sun, others pondered the idea of a total cultural change. Senior Jade Cooper toured most of Europe and could verify that vacations had the ability to serve an educational purpose. Visiting museums and landmarks. though doing so wasn’t specifically a highlight to the younger generation, was usually a traditional event of every vacation. So where was the place to be in the U.S.? Florida and California received the most votes. And what did these two states have in common? Beaches, bikinis, and boys caused a major attraction as the quest for a perfect mate began. Even if it did only last for a few weeks, memories of a sweet but short romance would never die. Sophomore Tammy Riddle’s favorite pasttime while on a trip to Savannah, Georgia, was “talking to a bunch of beautiful guys. Vacations could possess the power of starting long distance love affairs. Therefore, what was the idea of an “ultimate” vacation? Junior Mary Ann Osborne showed her creativity by suggesting “going to Hawaii to party with Don Ho.” For some, a vacation simply meant a night out. Dances provided the opportunity for this type of vacation. Let’s take a look at — by Dawn Gray LEFT: Taking an afternoon vacation at the band's victory dance are juniors Dan Beer and Dallas Wright.

The February dance provided a romantic atmosphere for the Valentine’s Day season. Up The Night Dances Light Did they go because they’re fools in love, or did they go with friends? There were many reasons that students went to the Winter Ball and the Sweetheart Dance. Senior Tina Beck said, The Winter Ball was new and I wanted to see what it was like.” It took lots of people and hours to put together a good dance. Food, chaperones, a disc jockey, and decorations had to be planned. The worst part of a dance was asking someone to go. “It takes a lot of time and wondering if 1 should ask. but it’s worth it,” sophomore Angie Auker replied. It seemed simple, a question and an answer, but people planned for days to have the right mood before asking. Many freshmen double dated for these dances, but upperclassmen usually wanted to go in couples. Freshman Katie Hall said, “It depends if you can drive.” For many couples, the evening started before the dance, at a restaurant. Most couples preferred to go out for pizza before or after the dance. Some went out of town for something fancy. Tina’s favorite part of her evening was when her date dumped pizza on her. Mrs. Beverly Jones said that semi-formal dances “definitely” brought out traditional politeness and manners. Most students agreed. “This (Winter Ball) is one of the nicer dances I’ve been to,” Mrs. Jones added. Mrs. Jones, as National Honor Society sponsor, was actively involved in the success of the Winter Ball since her organization sponsored this dance. The Future Homemakers of America again sponsored the annual Sweetheart Dance, an event that many students looked forward to during the long winter months. Most upperclassmen had more fun than underclassmen. Tina stated, “I had fun, but I danced.” Participation was always more fun than spectating and that held true at dances. With more experience, upperclassmen seemed more at ease and relaxed. These dances were not good money-making projects because of hidden expenses such as decorations and food, but students tended to agree that semi-formal dances put a spark of excitement into their school year. — by Joe Batt ABOVE: Getting down to some serious dancing are senior Krista Hendrickson and sophomore Jerry Baker. While not all students chose to hit the dance floor, they still found something special about Prom ’88.

A night of laughter accurately described Prom ’88 for many of WC's less serious students. THAT “SOMETHING SPEGIflL Romantic music, low lighting, stunning decorations a night of “Endless Love.” What more could one have asked for from Prom ’88? For seniors Steph Lawson and Scott Hargrave, that something extra came in the form of being crowned queen and king. Steph explained, “I was thrilled and honored to be queen, and it made my prom night even more exciting.” Scott remarked, “It was a very prestigious honor, and I was really surprised to be crowned king. I couldn’t believe that I won!” For others, the something special came in the form of satisfaction over a job well done. Juniors put in many hours of planning and decorating for the big night. Junior class president Steve McCord reflected, “I was really proud of the way the class pulled together to make it work. We knew it would look good, but it looked even better than we imagined it would.” The something special for many students was simply a memorable once- in-a-lifetime evening. Junior Joe Ford commented, “The decorators did a great job, and the banquet for afterprom was great.” Seniors Jeff Sommer and Brian Martin agreed, saying that the prom in general looked “really nice.” Although for some, Prom ’88 wasn’t really a night of “Endless Love,” it did give the seniors a seriously memorable farewell. — by Jenny Hinshaw BOTTOM: Enjoying the prom festivities are junior Tom Lowrance, sophomore Justin Robinson. and junior Andrea Barnes.

Sophomore Randi Brown, as Gertie Cummings, leads sophomore Mike Wisenberg from the stage as the girls take charge during “It’s a Scandal, It’s an Outrage. Many of the girls in the cast enjoyed this scene. Sophomore Joe Edwards, as Jud Frye and junior Shane Girton, as Curly, discuss their mutual interests. The underclassmen of the cast looked forward to the next musical. Members of the chorus dance during the song, “The Farmer and the Cowman. The dedication of the chorus members contributed greatly to the success of the musical. A Visit To “Oklahoma!” “Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain ” The lyrics echoed through the empty auditorium as the cast rehearsed. The 1988 WC musical, Oklahoma! about struggle between the farmers and the cowboys in the territory that eventually became the state of Oklahoma, came to life on the WC stage March 18th and 19th, 1988. Portraying the romantic leads of Curly and Laurey were junior Shane Girton and senior Tonya Retter. Adding a bit of comedy to the show were junior Ryan Welch as Will Parker and sophomore Amy Barr as Ado Annie Carnes. Other principal characters included Tina Beck as Aunt Eller, Joe Edwards as Jud Frye, Mark Lewallen as Ali Hakim, and Randi Brown as Gertie Cummings. Tonya commented, ‘Working with the other principals was a lot of fun and I’ll have many special memories of those people.” Serving as musical director was Mr. Charles Buckley. Mrs. Margo Varner aided the cast as the dramatic director. The cast was accompanied by the community orchestra. Well-known songs from the musical included “People Will Say We’re in Love,” “Surrey With a Fringe on the Top,” and “Oklahoma!” Nineteen eighty-eight celebrated 25 years of musicals at WC. As a part of the celebration, cast members from the first production in 1963 were invited to join the 1988 cast on stage for a final chorus of “Oklahoma” after the Saturday night performance. Tina summed up the musical by saying, “It is really worth the hard work when the final curtain closes and you know you’ve put on another good musical.” — by Jana Barnes Ado Annie and Ali Hakim, sophomores Amy Barr and Mark Lewallen. discuss the future. All members of the cast spent many hours rehearsing to insure a good performance. Senior Tonya Retter, as Laurey, sings about her dreams. The senior members of the cast gave their best effort in their final musical. Kenny Prescott takes a breather sophomore Darren Retter continues the song. Jazz ensemble members had various opportunities to display their musical talents. Displaying their talents for the community at the Music Festival are the members of the jazz ensemble. The members of the ensemble volunteered to participate in this aspect of WC’s music program. LEFT: Majorettes and band members add a patriotic flair to the Music Festival Many WC concert numbers paid tribute to our country. BELOW LEFT: Seniors Aaron Thrash and Tom Cox make the most of their final Music Festival. Senior leadership and dedication helped to pull off a successful performance. BELOW: Concentrating on her music is senior Renee Burton. Concentration was essential to displaying the jazz ensemble's musical abilities. The Music Festival — a time to cheer and to eat while dancing to a twist of tango music. Actually, a time to exhibit the talents of many musically talented students. The time to hear the mastery of horns, winds, and drums. The time to be classical, the time to be instrumental, the time to be jazzy and, yes, the time to be patriotic — that is the Music Festival in a nut shell. Many band members looked at the night of the Music Festival as a time to highlight their skills and to excel in their music. However, it was not only a time for perfection, but also a time for enjoyment. As Jamie Mills stated, “I thoroughly enjoyed the Music Festival. 1 liked performing with the symphonic band, and especially performing with the jazz band.” In addition to the perfection and to the enjoyment, “It was exciting, in a way, when the band gets together to honor the seniors leaving the band,” commented Steve Bates. Students of the band enjoyed the Music Festival for yet another reason. Daniel Jennings explained, “I enjoyed playing the French horn because of working with one of the best players in the band — Andrea Peters.” This attitude showed the respect and loyalty to the upperclassmen; it also explained the favoritism toward each individual’s instrument. Butterflies twitched in the innocent stomachs of many apprehensive band members before the concert. During the start, middle, and end of the concert, these butterflies turned into soaring eagles. Once the concert was over, a sigh of relief was painted on many faces of the band — well, at least some. Jared Brown had yet another obstacle with which he was worried as he explained, “Somebody stole my shoes after the concert, and I still haven’t found them. If you have any information, please contact me immediately because I had just put in a brand new pair of odor-eaters before the concert.” This year was especially exceptional at the Music Festival in that the band was split into two bands. Jeff Chalfant commented on the two bands. “At last we finally played music that was challenging for each member. The end result — a combination of trial and of pride, equalling a spectacular Music Festival.” — by Danny Retter A i cw Beginning . . . Special times and special places Special friends together The moments pass so quickly But the memories last forever Friendship and commencement went hand in hand in ’88 as the seniors bade WC their last farewell. It seemed fitting that as the seniors were about to embark on a new era in their lives, they would want to make a memorable exit from high school. With that thought in mind, the senior class officers incorporated several changes into the commencement ceremony. Senior Jeff Chalfant, student council member, gave the invocation. After an introduction by student body president Matt Osborne, Tina Beck, senior guest speaker, delivered the commencement address. Following Tina’s speech centering on faith, vice president Jamie Williams introduced the salutatorian, April Hersberger, who spoke about perseverence. Student council vice president Andrea Peters introduced the valedictorian of the class of ’88, Jenny Hinshaw. Jenny’s speech focused on friendship. Senior class president Shannon Hartley recognized the teachers, who took part in the ceremony.

Believe it or not, studying was one of those inevitable tasks that faced each WC student at one point or another. But the way that students attacked the task varied from left to right. Left to right? Yes, left to right. WC students were classified as either “left brains’’ or “right brains.’’ But just what in the world was that supposed to mean? “Left brains” were logical. They were critical. Their ideas were always serious, and they were receptive of criticism. They spent much of their time planning to study and verifying their facts. They chose to always stare reality right in the face. If a teacher told “left brains” to study, then that was exactly what they did. The student who always seemed to have his eyes glued to the window was probably a chronic “right brain.” To dream, to imagine, to fantasize these were his ideals. Humor and creativity were vital to the “right brains.” Did they consider studying to contain any humor? Highly doubtful, but “right brains” eventually buckled down to tackle the things that needed done. The next time a WC student seemed to be analyzing a situation to death, one of those “window watchers” who happens to glance his way may declare, “Hey, you out there in left field . ” — by Jenny Hinshaw BELOW: Junior Marion Aukcr tries to take his mind off the upcoming academic competition.

Colors Brighten Lives Bright yellow and orange walls greeted every student that entered her room. WC students spent their days in these rooms whether studying or just staring blankly at the walls. However students passed their time in these rooms, there was no denying that some rooms had a lively atmosphere while others were just rooms. Having a room that was interesting to look at in one way or another could be both an advantage and a disadvantage to students as well as to teachers. Being in a bright and cheery atmosphere was always good for students and teachers alike. However, if students became bored with the teacher or the subject, they could probably find something more interesting to look at or to read on the walls of the classroom. Some teachers went to a lot of trouble to make their rooms have a little character, but did the students really notice? Senior Tina Beck commented, “I do when it’s a bright color.” Were decorated rooms more interesting? Unfortunately for some students — yes. “If I get bored, I stare at them,” explained senior Dawn Sanders. Some students commented that the room itself didn’t really make that much difference. “It’s the teacher, not the room,” added senior Lisa Fouse. What rooms were liked best by WC students? Among the front-runners were Mrs. Nicki Longnecker’s room and Mrs. Margo Varner’s room. Other “interesting” places at WC included the guidance office, which Lisa liked. Tina also liked the band room and the choir room. “The blue is relaxing,” she stated. It was obvious that just as all the teachers at WC were very different from one another, so were their rooms. — by Jana Barnes LEFT: In college grammar. Andrea Peters, senior, works on a poster.

Grades seemed to be more important as the years went by. Does Cramming Work? He forgot to take his book home for the big test; however, he passed with a “B.” How? Before the test he jammed his head full of short term information — he “crammed.” He got through the test, but as quickly as he learned the material, he could forget it. “Most of the time I forget to study, so I cram,” freshman Jason Kindred stated about his study habits. For many crammers, this was the excuse for cramming, but many students did not have time to study normally, and had to cram to finish their work. Senior Jeff Chalfant’s parents discouraged cramming, so he was forced to cram after they retired for the evening. Sneaking to get done was more common than one might have thought. Many students went to a social event instead of studying. Then if they cared about their work, they had to cram when it wasn’t very convenient. Most kids were forced into cramming because of their own procrastination, but some “just memorize the stuff long enough to get through the test,” as sophomore Jason Knasinski put it. Cramming this way could be very harmful in the long run. The information was transferred from book to test and not processed or thought about. Jason didn’t think cramming hurt him now, but, “it doesn’t help you.” English was crammed for most often, probably because there were many tests each week to study for. Crammers didn’t feel that the teacher knew that they crammed, yet most kids knew that this bad habit might hurt their study habits. “Habits I make now will stick with me for a lifetime,” Jeff said. Many students could get away without taking any homework home. They did it between classes and before school in the commons. For these students, the time between class was very important. They could finish an entire subject in this time; maybe it wasn’t quality work, but the subject was finished. Cramming didn’t occur as often in the freshman or sophomore years, probably because of the easier work load and less involvement in extra-curricular activities. The more involved students were those that were forced to cram more often. For some, cramming became a way of life. Whether the test was passed or failed, WC would always have its “crammers.” — by Joe Batt UPPER LEFT: Sophomore Julie Nuchols quietly studies during class.

The Scholarly Faction — ACES “It was a very successful year,” summarized Coach Kathy Koch about the past academic competition season. The teams were very strong in their respective areas. “None of the teams finished lower than third out of four,” explained Coach Koch. The social studies team, consisting of Tony Grow, Ron Reitenour, and Steve McCord, earned first place in the Eastern Indiana Academic Compe- tition League. “It took a lot of dedicated study time,” explained Tony. The team also received third place in the state competition. Another area to compete in this year was the spell bowl. Each member of the ten-member team was read a total of eight words to spell. The team from WC finished fourth in the regional competition. Academic competition was an event which included different fields of study such as English, fine arts, science, social studies, math and the all-around. Any student could compete in any two areas plus the all-around. “Out of everything, academic competition gave a chance for people to see how well they could do in academics,” said Coach Koch. — by Todd Gulley Tina Beck, senior, thinks happy thoughts after a good match.

Around the World in a Day When the bell rang at 3:15 p.m. on the 28th day of May, 1987, few students considered continuing their education over the summer. Summer was for fun, right? Three students from WC managed to incorporate both fun and education into their busy summers. Senior Jenny Hinshaw, junior Lena Herr, and sophomore Bill Peden participated in foreign exchange programs. These programs involved not only learning the language of the country, but the history and culture as well. Jenny visited Mexico in the Indiana University Honors Program in Foreign Languages. While there, she studied courses such as literature, grammar, dialogue, and history. When asked if the classes at WC prepared her for the weeks she spent in Mexico, she replied, “I think that the classes prepared me pretty well. I knew a lot of things about the culture and I knew at least the basics of the language.” While in Brazil for six weeks, Lena stayed with a family of four. They didn’t have many luxuries. They cooked off of a wood burning stove. Lena commented, “1 missed eating hamburgers, but what I really missed most of all were friends and family.” During his six weeks in Peru, Bill learned how to rough it. While he was there, his host family took a vacation to a relative’s cotton plantation, where there wasn’t a bathroom and he took his baths in a cold mountain spring. Bill emphasized the differences in the people. He explained, “They make more time for each other there; they are much more open. But they are the same people as we are.” He added, “Their education is about equal to ours, except they have more subjects in a week’s time.” Were foreign languages just other classes to take, or were they a learning experience? Mrs. Pat Knasinski commented, “If you are going to take a foreign language, then you can use it. It’s kind of like a payback in the end.” Mrs. Laura Northcutt added, “After taking two or three years of French, you can go to a French-speaking country and use the language.” Jenny summarized the feelings of foreign exchange students. “Being an exchange student has been the best experience of my life. I learned an incredible amount of stuff about Mexico, about people, and about myself. 1 will never be the same again, and I like the ‘new’ me. Was being an exchange student all it was cracked up to be? Absolutely!” — by Justin Robinson and Jana Barnes FAR LEFT: Sophomore Bill Peden enjoys a remark from a friend.

Ringing the bell was an honor that most seniors eagerly awaited. Shawnda Croyle and Shelly Starbuck smile in satisfaction after receiving their recognition during Senior Honor Day. Honorably Speaking . . . A heavy feeling hung in the air. The 1988 graduating class rose. All awards had been passed out, everything had been taken care of. Chills rushed down the spines of everyone present. This was it; it was Senior Honor Day, the final day for the seniors at Winchester Community High School. Besides the sadness of leaving, the emotion of pride rang through the air and with good reason. Nearly fifty awards and scholarships were presented. Among these were the Top Ten Principal’s Award, which went to the top ten seniors according to their grade point average. Recipients of this award included Jenny Hinshaw, April Hersberger, Kelli Loyd, Shelly Star-buck, Andrea Peters, Heike Cockerill, Matt Osborne, Jennifer Smith, Shannon Hartley, and Jeff Chalfant. Another big scholarship was the Indiana State Hoosier Scholars. Recipients of these were Jenny Hinshaw and April Hersberger. One of the biggest individual scholarships was the Winchester Founda-tion-Pierre Goodrich Scholarship, which was awarded to Jeff Chalfant. Besides the many honors passed out, Senior Honor Day was an extremely emotional time for most seniors. Feelings of relief, sadness, glory, fright, and regret filtered through the seniors’ minds. Chris Webb was one with a mixture of emotions. “I’m glad to be out, but I know in the near future I’ll want to be back because of the memories.” Some others were in more of a state of shock that it was over. No matter what the future held. what unpleasant memories were left behind, no one in the class of ’88 could walk out those doors for the last time without just an ounce of sorrow. Heike Cockerill stated, “I’m so glad we’re out of here!” with streams of tears running down her cheeks. Although nobody could bring the moments back, they were all kept in each individual’s mind to be remembered for years down the road. Shannon Hartley stated, “It’s been a super four years and I am going to miss them.” Like all things in life, high school careers have to end.

Jeff stated, “The CPR grant could provide the knowledge that we as students need to have.” Money Makes The School So 'Hound A vital ingredient for the operation and the offerings of WC was the Curriculum Program Renewal (CPR) grants. WC was one of the ten schools in Indiana to receive an annual grant of $40,000. This money was used to improve teaching techniques, according to Mr. David Gibson. The money was also used to expand curriculum and to improve the feeling that teachers had about teaching. In general, CPR was used in “making the best better,” according to Mr. Gibson. Teachers were encouraged by Mr. Gibson to attend seminars on better teaching techniques. These seminars were financed with money from the CPR grant. Mr. Gibson wanted to use as much of the money as possible, because whatever was not spent was to be returned to the State Department. If WC did not use the money, it would be lost. Membership in the North Central Association was also of great importance to WC during the 1987-88 year. Being a member of this organization was a prestigious honor according to Miss Karen King, steering chairman for North Central. In order to become a member, WC had to meet and surpass certain rquirements. WC became a member of the association in the early 1900’s, and requirements for acceptance were just as difficult then. Every seven years the North Central staff evaluated WC. The membership to North Central not only benefitted both teachers and students, but also the public. As Miss King stated, “Community and students benefit because the educational offerings to students far exceed the minimum required by the state and are in line with the demands of tomorrow’s world of work.” The CPR grant and the North Central evaluation aided WC in reaching its goal of superior education by making everyone, including the school and the community, more aware of the needs and possibilities for excellence at WC. — by Danny Retter, Jana Barnes, and Jenny Hinshaw LEFT: Miss Karen King grades homework.

Some were athletes; others were simply spectators. Some were excellent leaders, while others strengthened leaders’ successes by being superb followers. Some were outgoing; others were quiet. The unusual mixture of personalities made WC really special. Senior Laura Wasson explained, “The teachers make school neat.” Others, like freshman Scott Patterson, gave the students credit for making WC special. Sophomore April Negele emphasized, “Our school is special because we take a lot of pride in athletics.” It took all kinds to make WC the great place that it was. Laura commented, “If the students have spirit, they make the school unique.” WC students seriously had what it took to make WC truly unique. — by Jenny Hinshaw TOP: Sharing smiles with everyone seems to be senior Sherrie Retz’s attitude toward others.

It’s cold enough out this morning to make a chicken thankful for his feathers.” What an inspirational announcement for the young, hopeful souls huddled around the radio, waiting for the ever-loved school cancellation. Living in town had its advantages during the summer when one could have taken a nice stroll in the “sun, sun, sun, here it comes;” but walking in a winter wonderland carried a different tune with the students of WC. As always, freshmen were hardest hit by the “finding a ride to school” trauma. Few had friends with licenses and most lived too close to school to qualify for a bus ride. Walk, ride the bus, hitch a ride with a friend, or skip school; what was a kid to do? For the unfortunate, “grin and bear it” was the usual theme for those dreadfully freezing morning walks. Freshman Anthony Mullen substituted riding a bike for exercise as an alternative to walking. He also spoke for the majority of his class when he explained, “Riding is better than walking because when you walk, you get a better chance of being picked off by a car.” Bus rides failed to provide many glories also, according to the class of 1991. Getting up one hour earlier just to catch a ride to school seemed to get a bit discouraging at times. Buses usually dropped off early as well, leaving students to loaf around school, which freshman Fred Jones described as being a “big drag.” Working parents could have been used as a means of transportation by dropping their kids off before traveling to their work places. Although this wasn’t an all-time favorite method of getting to school, it beat out “hoofing” the way. Freshman Jim Hoffman stated his mom was a ride, but a boring one; while freshman Angie Long- necker explained, “I’d rather ride with a friend than my mom because it’s embarrassing walking into school with a teacher.” Taking a more studious outlook, Brian Oswalt claimed he liked to ride with his father because he arrived at school earlier, which gave him more time to study. There was no absolute solution to the quest for a perfect way to school. Freshmen couldn’t drive (legally), but if one walked to school, perhaps he could walk backwards, keeping an eye on the homestead, which would have provided a fresh start in the morning. Regardless of whatever method was taken, freshmen found their way to school, and looked toward the day when they, too, could zoom past other ill-fated walkers finding their own ways to school. — by Dawn Blansett and Danny Retter 44 LEFT: David Foudray, Toby Harden.

These jokes were only meant in a negative connotation, which was the exact opposite of the meaning of a joke, and by all means, they were not practical. So, let’s redefine. For the sake of communication, we shall call what we once knew as practical jokes, irrational pranks. “As people pass by in the aisle of the bus, I extend my foot and watch the person fall hopelessly,” said one freshman. How could fellow classmates conduct such irrational pranks in the midst of others? An irrational prank could be played on either friend or foe. One may have denoted irrational pranks as a subject of stupidity. “They’re pretty funny because they’re stupid,” stated Melissa Correll. But stupidity was not always funny, so this was a misleading theory. The truth was that irrational pranks did not require a lot of thinking. Classmates of all mentalities could perform an irrational prank on someone. On the serious side, irrational pranks were viewed in many different ways. Mark Ray explained, “1 like practical jokes because they’re funny to a certain point.” The question arose, where was the fine line drawn between a “funny prank”? and an “unreasonable prank”? Well, not knowing the answer, one had to discover the solution that each had his own outlook on the pranks. Good judgment was a key factor. Now, to analyze the cruel side of irrational pranks. What elements were considered for a cruel and unpractical prank? Was there much thought in these pranks? Probably not. The elements, however, were a quick trick to receive a laugh, a master-minded gimmick to receive revenge, or a spastic experiment for the sake of attention. “In a way, they’re funny, but only if they’re done in a funny way,” stated Shane Ferguson. “I don’t like them because they might hurt others,” explained Amy Campbell. So, different outlooks accompanied different pranks. An old proverb summarizes, “Never risk a joke with a man who is unable to comprehend it.” — by Dawn Blansett and Danny Ret-ter Pam Gentry, Katie Hall. Robbie Hall. Shane Hall.

They were the leaders to a better tomorrow. Setting high goals and excellent standards, outstanding freshmen had started their high school careers on the right foot. To achieve high goals and to motivate the non-leaders — that was the goal of the outstanding freshmen. Being academically involved was not enough for this elite group. They also chose to be involved in various sports and extracurricular activities, while maintaining a high grade point average. This was just part of the role being played by an outstanding individ- ual. The key factor and possibly the hardest to earn by others was the respect for being a leader. Tina St. Myers explained how one could earn the respect — by “being a good friend and when asked to do something, getting it done.” So, basically, the idea of respect was being there when someone needed you, actually, a responsible friend. “Being yourself” was a small, yet important ingredient in being an outstanding person. As Brian Oswalt remarked, “trying to be the person a person should be, and not give in to the pressure of peers.” In addition, as with others, this was how Brian earned the respect and maintained his outstanding ability. To sum up the character of an outstanding freshman, Stefanie Short and Angie Campbell concluded by stating, “An outstanding freshman should be academically involved, participate in most of the school functions, to be helpful in the community, to support your school, to maintain a good grade average, and to show leadership in your school.” — by Dawn Blansett and Danny Ret-ter 52 Robert Wallace.

Crank Up The Volume We asked the question, “What is music?” Whom did we ask? Why, Mr. Daniel Webster, of course. He said that music was “any rhythmic sequence of pleasing sounds.” Whatever the meaning behind music, one fact” was that music was essential to life. Here at WC, music was an important part of many sophomores’ lives. If they weren’t in the band or choir, they possessed at least a radio of some sort. From this, they were able to listen to everything from “Broadway musical soundtracks and pop rock,” as in the case of Mark Lewallen, to “country music” for Dennis Forrester. The radio was in the top two with the tape player as the most important piece of audio equipment. The radio “provides enjoyment for the listening audience,” according to David Lind, and was “a great source of information” for some like Grant Liston. Mark thought the radio “played songs people like without having to invest in tapes.” Some of the more popular area stations were also favorites at WC. One example was WGTZ, otherwise known as Z93. Jenny Terrell, a fond listener of Z93, explained, “I listen to Z93 because it plays the good songs and I like the ‘Z Morning Zoo’.” Mark agreed with Jenny and added, “Z93 is crazy!” Another favorite was WFBQ — Q95. Grant admitted, “I listen to Q95 in the mornings to hear Bob and Tom.” Q95 was a great station for classical rock and roll fans. Randolph County’s own WZZY caught the attention of many sophomores. Since its recent changes WZZY had gone through with the addition of more rock music, WZZY grabbed a lot more teenage listeners. Other favorites around the FM dial were WQLK - K96; 104 Soft Hits; 102.5 - WMDH; and WZPL - 99.5. The radio entertained many people with its wide variety of station choices. What about the AM dial? David explained, “AM stations are for talk shows, help sessions, weather, news, and to see if school is closed. Not music!” Not too many people preferred country stations, but some, like Dennis, did. “It mellows me out; I love it. It has a meaning behind it, instead of screaming like rock music.” David, along with others, disagreed with Dennis. David said, “It’s kind of a whining sound. It’s for people who have just broken up and need to share their wailing.” Different people had different tastes in music. For everyone, music wasn’t all that essential to life. David explained, “I do listen to music, but it’s about the least important thing in my life. It comes after the amount of liquid left in the bottom of my mother’s hairspray can.” For others, music did seem to be an essential part of life. Jenny said, “I wake up with my radio and go to sleep with my radio.” Whether it was on a radio station, tape cassette, compact disc, or record, listening to music was an important part in the worid of WC students. — by Catherine Riddle Charity Acree, David Adams.

Dating shouldn’t have been simply a social engagement between two people. According to Tonia Gibson, a date should have been, “A learning experience to find out if you want to keep dating or not.” Usually the first date would have decided this. What qualities should one have looked for to help with this decision? Shanna Westfall felt “Manners!” were top priority. Gary Orr thought, “She has to be good looking and NOT dizzy!” Parents seemed to also influence a teenager’s decision on his or her dates. Shanna explained, “My parents must meet my date for a character analysis.” There were many reasons why people chose to date. Hopefully, it was because they liked the person, yet it could have been to get out of the house or just to be a nice person. For whatever reason, Gary summed it up by saying, “I guess dating is just one of those ‘Facts of Life’.” — by Catherine Riddle 58 ABOVE: Pondering on which snack to purchase, Jeff Bergmann gazes at all the goodies.

They sat there intensely, with fierce looks upon their faces. This was it. The test was over; this group of people had moved up from the role of silly freshmen to playing the parts of serious sophomores. The competition was tight, but they all shared a common bond — the necessity to achieve and to succeed. Rosie Addington had this to say about the competition. “Competition is good; everyone strives harder to be the best.” The sophomore class was not one to come in last place and neither were their grades. When asked why grades were so important, many agreed that college was the main factor. Some felt their grades weren’t important at all. “Actually, doing my best is what’s im- portant and grades are just a symbol of that,” stated Karine Oswalt. Pushing and pulling went hand in hand with the studying habits of these sophomores. Karine stated, “Sometimes I really don’t feel like working hard and that’s when I really have to ‘push’ myself.” A “push” could’ve been just a five minute break to clear the mind, or the constant nagging from a parent to get the work done. Charles Stonerock said, “My parents push me, but they want me to have the best life possible.” For many, working was as natural as waking up in the morning. “It just comes naturally, since I started studying hard in elementary,” said Steve Hartley. Others felt that they really had to be pushed by someone, or to do the pulling themselves to get good grades. Both ways were fine and each individual managed in his own way to stay in the competition. Was it worth it? “By working hard, I get the satisfaction of knowing that I have done a good job,” said Amy Chalfant. Rewards were not what made these students work hard, but they did help. Some of these rewards were gaining a higher self-confidence, gaining and applying knowledge, and receiving good grades. In the end the class agreed that studying hard was well worth it! — by Jenny Terrell Kevin Tiller. Dione Tuttle, Jeff Uhrick, Nicki Walling, Rob Weatherhead, Sherry Weather-head.

Are they someone to spend time with? to tell your problems to? or someone to just be there when you need them? In our world of busy people, the students here at WC tended to make time for all of their friends. As Matt Hoover said, “We go fishin’ and eat at the Pak-N-Sak,’’ but there were a variety of activities that friends did together. For instance, Kim Reynolds said, “We usually go to Muncie, go out to eat, and go see a movie; then we usually hang out at the mall for awhile. Then we cruise the boulevard.” Some friends had quite a bit in common, but there were others who were totally opposite. According to Matt, he and his best friend, Bruce Taylor, didn’t have anything in common except for their views on girls. “Are you mad at me?” was probably one of the main questions insecure friends asked each other. Not being confident might have led to fights, but some of the fights were caused by jealousy. For instance, if there was a friend who was going out with a guy or girl, the other friend might have felt left out. As Cheryl North said, “Fighting makes me feel guilty.” Trusting one’s best friend might have been a little difficult. But most of the students seemed to agree that they could tell their best friend everything. “Gosh, you never spend time with me anymore; it’s always your boyfriend or girlfriend.” Sometime in life, people might have a streak of jealousy. As Kim said, “I don’t feel left out when my friend has a guy, ’cause I’m usually included with ‘some’ things they do. They don’t treat me like an outsider.” When people got jealous, it didn’t take much for them to be jealous all of the time. It was always a special feeling being able to open up to someone, knowing that friends would be there whenever they were needed. No matter how old or how far away they were, best friends would always be needed. — by Angie Sayers Deanna Ackman, Tanna Ackman, Kathy Anderson, Tracy Arnold, Kristi Ashley, Chris Aslinger, Marion Auker David Baldridge, Andrea Barnes, Rob Barron, Jarrett Bates, Steve Bates, John Beals, Amy Beck Dan Beer, Dawn Blansett, Jeff Bowling, Tami Boyatt, Kris Bradburn, Mike Bradbury, Jamie Brady Bob Brown, Tasha Bunsold, Scott Burelison, Bill Burton, Derek Burton, Larry Cadwallader, Treva Cantrall Bill Cash, Kelly Chalfant, Amy Cochran, Brian Combs, Paul Correll, Dawn Cortner, Beth Cox 64 LEFT: Carmen Smith, Catherine Riddle, and Jen Kolodchak get in the spirit of Homecoming.

Tests, Tests, And More Tests Completely Absolutely Terrifying was what a few students believed CAT stood for, but seriously, it stood for the California Achievement Test. Some people took the CAT test as a joke, but there were others who took it seriously. As Todd Shores said, “1 think I already know enough about a cat! Seriously, I think it will separate those students who want to work for a diploma and those who don’t.” The CAT test was also known as the ISTEP test, which stood for Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress. Few students felt prepared for this test, but they appreciated the help of their teachers. Some said, “I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be.” The attitude toward taking any test varied. “When I’m prepared they seem to go easier than when I don’t study,” explained Tammy Padgett. On the other hand, Jeff Lahey said, “No worry whether I pass or fail, as long as I don’t fail too many.” A positive attitude was always good to have before taking a test, also. The importance of taking the SAT or ACT depended highly upon whether one did well in school or not. The people who had to study hard all of the time may not have thought the tests should have had as much importance to one’s entry to college as they did. According to Tasha Bunsold, “They should not have as much importance as they do. These tests don’t really show the true person. These tests do not show what a person can achieve through studying and setting goals.” Test taking over the years, according to Ron Reitenour, “has stayed the same; the studying is the part that you have to adjust to.” But as Cass Weath-erhead said, “They definitely get harder. Maybe you learn to use your common sense a bit more, but you’ve still got to know it.” Overall, everyone seemed to agree that tests shouldn’t have as much importance as they do. Few students took the tests lightly. Then there were some who just thought that tests were jokes. But a few thought taking tests was Completely Absolutely Terrifying. — by Angie Sayers 68 LEFT: Shannon Fisher is playing “mother” for her child development class.

Teachers Are People, Too Many times teachers may seem to be cold, insensitive, and not understanding, but teachers are people, too. They have the same complaints that students do. Some don’t like school food, and most prefer television over school work. Although teachers were people, too, they had to demand the respect of their class to teach effectively. Mrs. Nicki Longnecker said that it was very difficult to teach a class when students thought of her as a friend and not as a teacher. Mrs. Sonda Hawley, who was known for her creativity, tried to be honest with her students and let them know she cared. She wanted one’s cre- ative side to show through, so she purposely revealed herself to her students. “I tell them what 1 feel,” she said. Many teachers had children at home and could understand the stress that students went through because they watched their own kids go through it. Some teachers’ lives were centered around what they taught. Mrs. Pat Knasinski, Spanish teacher, liked to take trips to hispanic areas. She had close hispanic friends. Mr. Wayne Hedden, owner of a fitness center, had many interests in fitness along with his physical education classes. Teachers had feelings. They felt good when students succeeded. They were disappointed when students failed. What students said could also hurt teachers emotionally. Mistakes were part of human nature. Most teachers were bound to make mistakes in their careers. Students were not the only ones who learned throughout the school year. Teachers learned new teaching techniques and methods to use. Students may have finished their education in four years, but teachers had the opportunity to learn for many years to come. — by Joe Batt 73 Black And Gold ... Or Brown? Everybody knows at least one or two. They have been a part of the class of ’88 for the past four years. Some say that they’re menaces. Some say that they are an asset to the senior class. Just who are these people? “Brown noses.” Cindy Chipley revealed, “ ‘Brown noses’ make me sick! They always know the answer, and they’re disappointed if they don’t get called on. They’re always running errands, and if there’s a problem, they always know who did it!” If “brown noses” really were “sickening,” why did seniors “brown nose” their teachers? Brian Hollowell explained, “They do it so they can goof around in class and the teacher won’t say anything.” Brad Cupp characterized “brown noses” as the “smart people.” Heike Cockerill agreed by saying that stu- dents who “brown nose” tended to get better grades than students who didn’t. This characterization clashed with Kelli Loyd’s, who explained that “brown nosing” was “just stupid.” Bringing out a beneficial point of “brown nosing,” Shannon Hartley commented, “ ‘Brown noses’ think they’re getting better grades, more attention, and special treatment.” Cindy added, “The teacher will remember that person a lot more than the person who didn’t make that extra effort to help him.” To some seniors, the drawbacks of “brown nosing” far outweighed the benefits. Shannon declared, “People don’t like you if you ‘brown nose.’ ” Brian emphasized, “People make fun of them.” How did teachers feel about “brown noses?” Mr. Sanford Brueckheimer commented, “I would say the percent- age of ‘brown noses’ is very low. If kids are doing it, they may not think they’re doing it. You’re always going to have a few who are doing it purposely, and that really turns a teacher off.” Where was the line between “normal” and “brown nose” drawn? Shannon said, “I think there’s a big difference between being a ‘brown nose’ and being friendly with teachers.” Views on “brown noses” were varied. Brian summarized, “ ‘Brown noses’ are the life of our class.” Others don’t believe that “brown nosing” really made any difference. Whatever one thought of “brown noses,” they were a part of the class of ’88, like every other class, and without them, the senior class would not have made such an impact in its years at WC. — by Jenny Hinshaw Randy Dale Acker, Patricia Rena Ashley.

Its symptoms included overwhelming fatique and laziness as well as an allergic reaction to anything that was associated with school. The common name for this disease was “senioritis.” Unlike many other diseases, however, senioritis was not a condition to be dreaded. In fact, many seniors looked forward to it because its appearance meant that graduation was near. Senioritis affected the majority of the class of 1988 in one way or another. The feeling of wanting to leave WC was often mixed with other emotions, however. Alisha Coffman commented, “I’ll miss everyone when we all go our separate ways.” Exactly how did some seniors define senioritis? Laura Martin described it as, “Being tired of school.” “Wanting to skip every day and get away with it,” was Alisha’s definition. Senioritis was not something new to the seniors of 1988. It had afflicted nearly every senior class. As long as seniors anticipated graduation, there would be many cases of seniorities each year. — by Jana Barnes 79 Paula Kim Haines, Martin Lynn Hardwick, Richard Scott Hargrave, James Roy Harris Rita Annette Harrison, Shannon Suzanne Hartley, Carl Wayne Hartzell, Krista Elaine Hendrickson Donald Earl Herron, April Lorene Hersberger, Kevin R.

Mr. Gard stated that this senior class wasn’t destructive or problem-causing. “The time that Andrea Peters put spray snow on the tinted front windows,” Mr. Gard chuckled, was one of the funnier things about the class. It seemed that she became almost hysterical with fear that she had messed up the front windows. Mr. Gard then removed the snow with some special soap. “Every class is distinct or different, and this class believed in what they were doing and took pride in themselves,” summarized Mr. Gard about the class of ’88. — by Joe Batt RIGHT: Senior Scott Hargrave gives a demonstration speech during speech class.

As the class of ’88’s reign at WC drew to a close, most seniors had an abundance of memories to help them to make the transition from high school into life beyond WC. What had the seniors accomplished? What were they most proud of? Brad Stonerock remembered, “The thing that's probably the most remarkable is the way we've matured from squirrelly little freshmen.” “Beating everyone in Fun and Games our senior year,” was Krista Hendrickson’s moment of pride. Shane Galligan agreed, “The most significant thing that our senior class has done is the way we pulled together and acted as a team in order to win the spirit stick. Maturity, spirit what else did the class of ’88 contribute to WC? To Missy Bowers, the seniors’ most important contribution was “always suc- ceeding in sports — 8-0 in football and 13-0 in girls’ tennis.” Jeff Chalfant observed one unique change that had occurred during the class’s time at WC. He explained, “We’ve retired more teachers and administrators than any other class.” The class of ’88 had many memorable moments at WC. The seniors’ presence and leadership would be seriously missed by many underclassmen who remained to roam the halls of WC. — by Jenny Hinshaw 87 ABOVE: Gwen Furby shows her enthusiasm by cheering on her teammates during the tug-of-war at Fun and Games.

Involvement. Why? Because involvement put our school on the map. State championships, state officers, national award winners involvement led to countless victories and honors for WC. Most students chose to participate in some extracurricular activities. Students devoted from two or three to twenty hours weekly to their activities. Why did students choose to be such vital parts of WC’s successes? Junior band member Mark Wray explained, “You get a lot of friends. In a group, you get the feeling of being wanted.” Junior Nancey Kemp agreed and added that sports allowed her to stay in good physical condition. Others, like junior Shannon Fisher, who devoted a lot of time to cheerleading, learned from their involvement and experienced many good times. Senior Shannon Hartley explained, “A lot of my activities help me to learn more about government, which is my future career.” Several students noted that involvement made time management difficult. Junior Todd Shores confessed, “I’m strung out in ten million different directions! I don’t give enough time to my schoolwork.” Most students found a “happy medium” between no involvement and too much involvement. Without the efforts of so many devoted students, WC would not have been able to boast on all of its successes, and students would not have been able to pass through “halls of fame” day after day. — by Jenny Hinshaw RIGHT: Senior Tonya Retter enjoys the tasks that come with being an involved student.

It was an extremely hectic year, and matters were a bit complicated by the appointment of a new Student Council sponsor. Miss Kellie Brown, and a new principal, Mr. David Gibson. Miss Brown commented, “It’s been a unique experience.” However, as Student Council president Matt Osborne optimistically noted, The Council accumulated a respectable list of achievements this year. Hopefully, we paved the way and cleared the underbrush for future councils. Tony Grow added. There were some changes, but everything changes.” In August, the Council registered students for school and gave guided tours; in September the Council organized Fun and Games for Homecoming and sponsored the successful Homecoming Dance. In October, seven students were sent to Tri-State College for the Student Council Weekend Convention. Busy in November with organizing the first-ever teacher reception, the Council served food and drink and prizes to Randolph Central School Corporation teachers to show teacher appreciation. Also in November, Council members sponsored a canned food drive dance and raised a lot of food for the needy in the community for the holiday season. In December, members raised well over two hundred dollars in the Suzie Green fund for homeless people, and in the spirit of Christmas they carried on the tradition of acting as “secret Santas” to the entire faculty. January brought a lower cost of a refreshing Coke from 50c to 40c. and the Council also planned for the Winter Carnival. February participation in the Student Council Exchange with Union City kept things busy. The Council sponsored the Winter Carnival in the spring in conjunction with the Athletic Booster Club’s chili supper and scheduled a Spring Dance and a Carnation Day. Ron Reitenour commented, Matt did a really good job. The year went smoothly.” “No one said this job would be easy,” confessed Matt. It’s true being a member of Student Council is a lot of hard work, dedication, and time, but most of the members say they had a lot of fun carrying out the projects they planned and scheduled and that it was all together a great year. — by Tina Hawley LEFT: Enjoying the discussion and debate, sophomore Amy ChaHant grots at the ideas she has to add.

Where was it most evident? Did it lurk around dark corners, or wait in unsuspecting students’ lockers to make its attack? Where was the proof of WC students’ involvement? One of the strongest pieces of evidence came in the form of a 141-mem-ber-strong chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America. FBLA not only boasted a large membership but it also gained many successes. President Heike Cockerill emphasized, “I strongly believe that our chapter’s great increase in membership helped us to once gain be the state’s most outstanding chapter.” The high honor of being the most outstanding chapter was just one of many honors which the chapter brought to WC. At the State Leadership Conference, WC’s FBLA’ers received many first-, second-, and third-place awards. Obviously, FBLA’s great involvement led to success. The 1987-88 membership of 141 was record-breaking. To achieve so much involvement, FBLA had to offer many positive activities for its members. In addition to its civic and service activities, FBLA offered many social activites, while still providing opportunities to learn. Heike explained, “FBLA has helped me to learn more about business interactions, and at the same time it has given me the opportunity to meet many new people and to have a good time.” Involvement in FBLA helped members to learn to “chart their futures,” according to the national chapter’s goal for the year. Jamie Williams, vice president, summarized, “FBLA has allowed me to understand business better and to see them in a different light.” Gaining knowledge, experience, and friends made involvement in FBLA a seriously good idea. — by Jenny Hinshaw ■ ABOVE LEFT: Future Business Leaders of America: Officers and Junior and Senior Members: First Row: Miss Karen King.

Foreign Language Takes Work “I was blindfolded, stepped over a body, stepped on brains and got my face thrown at with tomatoes,” stated sophomore Ira Johnson of French Club initiation. This kind of excitement could be found when becoming a member of a foreign language club. Joining an organization such as French or Spanish Club could broaden interest in French or Spanish class. Students often became more active in class because clubs built their inter- ests. Sophomore David Cox commented, ‘‘Trips make more of an impact on me than reading about it.” Events planned for French and Spanish clubs included a trip to Mexico for Spanish Club in 1989, and a trip to Europe for French Club in 1988. Many students felt that the trips were worth the effort to become involved in the clubs’ meetings and acti-vites. Not just anyone could become a member. A person had to fit the requirement of being enrolled in a foreign language class for at least one year. Taking a foreign language involved hard work and determination. Many students may not have been able to keep up with the work, but for those students who had, the experience was well rewarded. — by Belinda McCord ABOVE RIGHT: Junior Gwen Titcombe and sophomore Jerry Baker enjoy a break from normal classroom activities.

Supporting one another throughout the year was a great achievement of FCA. FHA supplied food for the needy in the community. It also participated in the state proficiency events in Indianapolis this year. “I enjoy working and playing with kids,” stated FHA vice president Pam Spade. “I guess that’s why I take such an active part in FHA.” Secretary Susan Stutzman said, “The trip to Indianapolis this year was fun and educational.” The FFA provided a service for the community. When farm equipment needed repaired or serviced, it was brought in and fixed free of charge. “Participating in FFA has been an educational experience,” stated Ben Hendrickson. “I’ve learned things that I’ll be able to use in my future.” These groups were able to share a feeling of unity and an opportunity to share their ideas with someone who had similiar interests. — by Tina Hawley ABOVE LEFT: FHA offers students the opportunity to put classroom skills into practical use.

Becoming Involved National Honor Society and Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) had a few things in common; for instance, the services they did for the community. According to National Honor Society president April Hers-berger, “All members of National Honor Society do individual service projects. We decorate the nursing home for Christmas, and have a party for the residents. We are also going to collect clothes for Community Action.” The service that SADD did was a little different. “We try to tell the people not to drink and drive because if you do, you could possibly kill yourself and more often than not, someone else!” said Shellie Shoopmon. The SADD organization sponsored a New Year’s Eve Dance to try to encourage students not to drink and drive. This has been done for the past three years. Everyone who was involved seemed to enjoy himself. National Honor Society and Students Against Driving Drunk contributed to the wide array of extra-curricular activities which many WC students chose to become involved. — by Angie Sayers LEFT: SADD COUNCIL: Front Row: Lisa Fouse, Kristie Cook, Shellie Shoopmon; Second Row: Tara McKibbin, David Baldridge.

Baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis, track, wrestling, cross country, volleyball the list seemed endless. Possibly the best asset to WC’s sports program was the opportunity for involvement. Almost every WC student was involved with athletics in some way. While many chose to compete in sports to prove WC’s excellence, others chose to show support by attending sports contests or by cheering on teams during pep sessions. Junior athlete Mike Bradbury explained, “Athletics give me that savvy attitude.” Reasons for participating in or supporting athletics varied, but WC realized the great benefits that the school received from serious successes in sports. — by Jenny Hinshaw OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP: Senior tennis player Jamie Pegg readily awaits his opponent’s return shot.

He takes a deep breath, releasing all tension, and shoots the ball. — Swish — it goes in just like at practice. He has won the game for the Falcons. Contributing to the team, Andy Bush was the leading scorer with an average of 13.2 points a game, along with the most assists with 153. Matt Haney was the leading rebounder with 134, he also had the highest field goal percentage with 60%. Best Mental Attitude was awarded to Marty Hardwick. Super Sub award was given to Scott Hargrave. The defensive award went to Joe Fetters. Mike Bradbury had the highest free throw percentage with 75.5%. After all the practice and hard work, the Falcons completed their season with an outstanding close score of 11-10. They tied for second place in the Tri-Eastern Conference and also captured the Randolph County horseshoe in the final regular season game against Randolph Southern. The hard work paid off when three of the senior team members were on the All-County team. They were Andy Bush, Joe Fetters, and Chad Waltz. Second team was Marty Hardwick and Mike Bradbury. The Tri-Eastern Conference team consisted of Andy Bush and Joe Fetters, and Honorable Mention went to Jamie Pegg. Coach Al Williams described this year’s season. “It started out shaky.

That is the intensive play of the Lady Falcons varsity basketball team. The 1987-1988 Lady Falcons had a successful record of 12-9. This was also the Lady Falcons’ third consecutive time to reach the sectional final game to steal the title of sectional champions. After taking the fearless trip to regional, the Lady Falcons ended their impressive season to Conners-ville. With the end of the season, three seniors ended their high school basketball careers. These seniors were Shannon Hartley, Krista Hendrickson, and Lanie Manning. All three teammates showed great leadership abilities throughout the season. Andrea Barnes, junior, explained how the loss of the seniors would affect the team. “I dislike losing the seniors to graduation. You not only become teammates with them, but you also become good friends with them.” This season’s girls’ varsity basketball team had great talents in all areas, and they revealed their abilities tremendously on the court. Rewards included Andrea Barnes, most defensive rebounds; Julie Fox, most offensive rebounds; Krista Hendrickson, most assists and best free throw percentage; and Beth Shaffer, best field goal percentage. Also, Julie Fox was named to the All-County Team. It seemed to be a tradition among the Lady Falcons to play at regional, and although they hadn’t yet reached semi-state, they continued to play very aggressively against their opponents. — by Lanie Manning 114 ABOVE: Girls’ Varsity Basketball: Front Row: Dawn Cortner, Kathie Zell.

Dreams Come True Working hard in practices, improving their attitudes, expanding their basketball abilities, and dreaming of becoming a varsity player could all describe the actions and emotions of junior varsity and freshman basketball players. The freshman and junior varsity boys’ basketball teams both had winning seasons, along with other fine achievements. The girls’ junior varsity team also had a winning season, and brought home a County Tournament Championship. The freshmen had a winning record of 11-8. The team was led by Matt Fine, who had a season average of 13.4 points per game. Rebounding was led by Josh Fields. The freshman team also captured the 1987-1988 County Tournament Championship. The WC junior varsity boys’ basketball team had a season in which it acquired a winning record of 12-8. The team was led by Elijah Kahle with the highest scoring average and most rebounds; Shawn Hummel with the most assists; and J.W. Osting with the highest free throw percentage. Adam Fisher was awarded best mental attitude. The team also took the title of WC Classic Reserve Champions. Junior Bruce Taylor voiced the team’s feelings “I think we played to our potential; we had a few problems, but all in all, we had a fun, quality season. We really enjoyed playing for Coach McCoy also.” With all of the teammates contributing greatly to the season’s successes, the girls’ junior varsity team also compiled a winning record of 11-9. The team worked hard together in receiving the County Tournament title. Angie Campbell described the way she felt while being a part of the winning team. “It was a great way to start off my freshman basketball season.” Playing to their potential while still having a little fun helped freshman and junior varsity players to learn the skills necessary for making the dream of being a varsity player a reality. — By Lanie Manning Boys' Girls' Frosh Randolph Southern JV JV W Union City L W L Union W W W Monroe Central W W W Union County W w w Jay County W L L Hagerstown L L L Centerville W W W Lincoln L L w Northeastern W W w Wapahani W L w Randolph Southern L W w Tri-Village W L Dale vi lie W W South Adams L W L Monroe Central W W Ansonla W Blue River W Delta W w Madtson-Grant L Mississtnewa L Monroe Central Muncie Burris W Muncie Central L L Muncie Central L New Castle Richmond L Union L Yorktown W W BELOW: Girls’ JV Basketball: Front Row: Dawn Warvel, Lisa Piersall, Stacey Shoopmon, Christia Craig, and Dawn Krahulec; Back Row: Katrina Horner, Lisa Pittman, Angie Campbell, Marlowe Welch, Jamie Dodd, and Coach Cheryl Zell.

This was the third time ever in the history of WC football for the team to go undefeated. “Going undefeated was my goal at the beginning of the season, but farther into the season I looked toward sectional,” stated senior Chris Webb. A sectional victory was striven for by all and a great effort was made even though the Falcons lost to a tough El-wood team in a close 24-20 final score. There were seven players elected to the All-Conference First Team. They were seniors Jason Franke, Joe Fetters, Andy Bush, Chad Waltz, and Scott Hargrave; junior Matt Hoover; and sophomore Joe Edwards. Seniors Chris Webb, Chad Nuckols, and sophomore Matt Haney received honorable mention. As a senior, Matt Osborne was named to the class 3A All-State Academic Team. He was the eleventh highest in the state. Setting twelve school records were seniors Andy Bush, Joe Fetters, Scott Hargrave, and Chad Waltz, and sophomores Matt Haney and Joe Edwards. Andy had the longest run from scrimmage and most tackles for a loss in a game. Joe Fetters ran for the most touchdowns in a career and the longest kick-off return. Scott achieved the most touchdowns in a game. Matt and Chad completed the longest pass completion. Joe Edwards had an excellent season by kicking the most extra points in a game, season, and career, and the best extra point percentage in a game and season. “I wanted to do well, but I didn’t even know what the records were when the season started,” said Joe. The seniors not only had a successful season this year, but throughout their years at WC. They accomplished a 20-4 Tri-Eastern Conference record, along with three conference titles during their four year career in football. “This season was awesome, winning every game until sectional,” stated senior Chad Nuckols. “Everyone got along and worked together to win.” Coach Tom Osborn summed up the season with, “It was a tremendous season because everyone enjoyed each other and the game. It was definitely a year to remember.” — by Krista Talley Varsity Football: Cheerleaders, Front Row: Rhonda Farmer, Jodi Miller, Christia Craig, Deb Hawley, Jeannie McCoy, Shannon Fisher, Tracy Shockley.

What kind of person would choose a long, hot practice over a cool pool? This person would have to be a Falcon football player. Devotion and dedication came from a long line of Falcon players. Many freshman and junior varsity players gave up baseball, vacations, swimming, and many other activities to prepare themselves for the season ahead. Working hard and giving it their all was what most players remembered best. When the time came to play the game, they were ready. Sophomore Chris Martin stated, “Before a game I was a little nervous, but I was ready to hit somebody.” Pre-game jitters, or “butterflies,” were common among the players, but by the time they kicked off, all nerves were gone and it was time for business. The team’s hard work paid off. The junior varsity ended its season with four wins and two losses. The freshman team ended with an even three and three record. When asked to sum up the season in one word, freshman Danny Love said, “DECEIVING -Our 3-3 record could have been better. Also, our team, overall, deserved better than a 3-3 record.” Junior varsity and freshman football were important to the outcome of a good varsity team. Coach Wayne Hed-den stated, “Our goal is to get as many kids as much playing time as possible and to teach them a winning attitude. Overall, we just want to show them what high school football is all about and to make sure that they come back the next year.” The players at WC were making plans and setting new goals for the upcoming season. Sophomore Steve Hartley stated, “If we work hard, I think that we could have a good season. We may not go undefeated like this year’s varsity, but we should be good.” When asked about the season, sophomore Grant Liston said, “It was a learning process because we learned how to become better football players as well as better people.” The Falcons had a good season and hoped to improve on the next one. — by Jenny Terrell LEFT: JV Football: Front Row: David Foudray, Chris Wolfe, Jesse Fritts, Chad Williams, Chris Martin.

Wrestling was a team sport, but when it comes down to it, it was just the wrestler and his opponent on the mat. The one thing to remember when one was on the mat was, “what the lights would look like if you were getting pinned,” according to junior Jason Ozbun. Coming off the mat, the wrestlers had a record of seven wins and six losses. The skilled Falcons achieved ten individual champions in tournament competition. These included Matt Hoover winning the county meet and Tri-Eastern Conference in the heavy weight class; and Shane Jones placing first at the county meet, in the TEC, in the sectional and at regional. Grant Liston was 1988 Sectional Champion at the 135 pound class. Count Ron Rodeffer was County Champion and also TEC Champion in the 112 pound class. The junior varsity wrestlers also had a winning season, with a record of eight wins, two losses, and one tie. Coach Anderson stated, “The 1987-88 wrestling season was quite a challenge. We had more than our share of injuries that could have spelled doom for our Falcon wrestlers. However, these young men battled all the way and won even when they were not supposed to.” — by Justin Robinson Wrestling RECORD 7-6 WC OPP Rushville 27 42 Union City 28 32 Muncie North 25 38 Lincoln 52 18 Wapahani 32 37 Monroe Central 51 14 Eastbrook 48 18 Wes-Del 21 53 Northeastern 42 26 Union County 36 39 Adams Central Invitation al 6th of 8 Hagerstown 60 10 Randolph County Tourney 1st of 5 Centerville 57 10 Tri - Eastern Conference Tourney 1st of 7 Sectional 2nd of 5 Regional 7th of 19 ABOVE: Senior Jeff Chalfant recovers after his match.

And I’m usually nervous before games like the County Tournament and sectional.” This year’s team won the County Tournament and was the runner-up in the sectional. This ended their season with a 18-7 record. There were four all-county nominations. They were Jacinda Walters, Shawnda Croyle, Andrea Barnes, and Julie Fox. Lanie Manning was honorable mention. Jacinda and Andrea were named to the all-conference team. Kelli Loyd and Shawnda were honorable mentions. The junior varsity ended its season with a record of 10-9. Playing as a team instead of as an individual helped. As Stacey Shoopman expressed, “If you mess up as an individual, the team would bring you right back up.” “Practices and games were both a lot of fun. The difficult times were making substitutions when someone was having problems during a game,” emphasized Coach Dallas Osting. This was Mr. Osting’s first year of coaching volleyball. “I think next year’s volleyball team can do really well if they work hard and dedicate themselves to the game,” Shawnda explained. Dedication and hard work were definitely a serious winning combination for WC’s netters in 1987. — by Angie Sayers RIGHT: Senior Krista Hendrickson connects with the ball.

And although the boys’ varsity tennis team posted a record of 2-4 in the Tri-Eastern Conference to finish third and of 4-7 in the overall season, the Falcons lost all but one of their defeats in close 2-3 decisions. Number one singles player Ryan Welch, junior, explained why he enjoyed the tennis season. “It’s me and another guy one-on-one.’’ For the girls’ varsity tennis team, winning took on a new meaning. Boasting a 13-0 record, the girls compiled a two year 27-0 winning streak. Remaining undefeated in the TEC, the Lady Falcons were the sole owners of the TEC title. Also, the girls won the Richmond Invitational Tournament and were ranked in the state rankings. The team’s phenomenal season ended to Muncie North in the sectional finals. Senior Heike Cockerill, in her third year at number one singles, completed her second straight undefeated season and reigned at the top of the TEC for the second time. She emphasized, “Our season shows what a lot of hard work can do.” At number two singles, senior Kelli Loyd made WC history by winning her fourth TEC championship. Kelli also compiled a 13-0 record. At number three singles, sophomore Mindy Short was 12-1. She said, “The one match I did lose was a heartbreaker.” The number one doubles team of seniors Missy Bowers and Krista Hendrickson was 13-0. Missy reflected on their victory in the sectional finals, “It took a lot of hard work, but Krista and I finally whomped on North!” The number two doubles team of senior Pam Jayme and freshman Joanna Streeter were 13-0 and won the TEC. Joanna commented, “It was a very good experience for me. I got to work with some great tennis players.” Kelli summarized the team’s feelings. “We finally woke everyone up and made them realize that girls’ tennis is a sport, too!” — by Jenny Hinshaw Boys’ Tennis: Standing: Coach Peg Kiser.

As the ball soars over Lucy’s head in the outfield, she taunts, “Nice pitch, Charlie Brown.” Baseball — the American dream, along with hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet — was an important part of the WC sports program. In addition to the importance, the Falcon baseball team was very successful with a record of 20-8. This record was accomplished by a strategically masterminded Falcon team with some outstanding players. These players were Matt Haney, Jamie Pegg, Matt Hoover, Elijah Kahle, and Barry Studt. Also, these players were named to the all-conference team. Not everything could be “all work and no play,” including baseball. Rob Croyle commented, “I’ve never seen a group of guys have so much fun while playing serious baseball.” Their secret of the team’s success was a mix of two parts work and one part enjoyment. Other highlights included individual records. Sophomore Matt Haney led the team with ten pitching wins, and junior Matt Hoover led with forty-three runs batted in.

Two WC athletes obtained county championships. They were Sarah Shaw in the 1600m and the 800m and Lisa Fouse in the 200m. In the Tri-Eastern conference meet, champions included Jacinda Walters in the long jump and Jacinda Walters, Shannon Hartley, Tina St. Myers, and Andrea Barnes in the 400m relay. The success continued at the sectional, with girls qualifying for the regional in three events. Never before had members of a WC girls’ track team competed at the regional level. The 400m relay team, the 1600m relay team (Andrea Barnes, Jacinda Walters, Lisa Fouse, and Sarah Shaw), and the 1600m runner (Sarah Shaw) were WC’s first regional qualifiers. Track success also met the boys’ team this year. Scott Hargrave was WC’s only TEC champion. County champions included Chad Waltz, Jason Franke, Darrell Barnes, J.W. Osting, Mike Jones, Brian Mayfield, and Greg Warvel. After winning the pole vault event at sectional, Scott Hargrave qualified for the regional along with Jason Franke, Darrell Barnes, J.W.

The WC men’s cross country team enjoyed the feeling of victory in six out of seven dual meets. Except for injuries to sophmore Rob Morford and to juniors Steve Bates and Greg Warvei, Coach Ron Anderson seemed pleased about the season. He explained, “We had a few injuries, but overall, it was a good season.” The team finished second overall in the Tri-Eastern Conference, and it also came in second in the County Tournament. The men finished fourth in the sectional, which was very good considering an important fact. Coach Anderson explained, “We did especially well in the sectional with two of the five varsity runners gone.” Those two who were gone were Brian Wray and Steve Bates. Jamie Williams, a senior who ran cross country all four of his high school years, completed an unprecedented streak of four straight mental attitude awards. Jamie said, “I got along with my team members.” Junior Ted Halcomb ran the best times with four first-place finishes and two second-place finishes. The team had nine different runners who reached personal bests during the season. They were senior Brad Cupp; juniors Steve Bates, Ted Halcomb, T.J. Phenis, and Greg Warvei; sophomore Rob Morford; and freshmen Matt At- kinson, Brian Wray, and Josh Fields. Coming on strong late in the season as every team should, the men had an impressive victory over Northeastern, which Coach Anderson said was the team’s best performance. A new team that appeared on the scene for the first time in WC’s history was a girls’ cross country team. Kathy Wolfe, a senior member of the team, stated that she would have liked running all four years instead of just her senior year. She explained, “It would have given us a better opportunity to run, and I would have liked running a whole lot better.” She also said that the girls did not have any real expectations for the team, and that they just went out to see what they could do. “They added a lot of enthusiasm, always cheering for everyone, even the other team,” Coach Anderson said of the girls. “Overall, it was a good year.” Coach Anderson added, “I was really pleased with the way the girls performed.” They were 1-5 overall. Their win came when they defeated Shenandoah, 19-36. Lady runners were seniors Kathy Wolfe and Lisa Fouse; juniors Dawn Cortner and Pam Spade, and sophomore Tonia Gibson. Despite all the injuries, the teams survived.

Krista Talley was low medalist with a score of 42, and Jenny Terrell was most improved player. Coach Polly Roberts stated, “This is the best golf season the girls’ team has had in ten years. I was really excited. We had a player almost go on to regional.” The only senior on this year’s team, Betsy Hoover, had this to say about the season, “This year’s golf season was great because we had a winning season. I was the only senior on the team and all of the team made me feel really special. We broke team records with lowest scores and some got the lowest individual score this year in a match.” On the other green, also having a young team, the boys’ golf season ended with a record of 22-18. The team finished second in the county meet and third in the tri-Eastern conference, and ninth in the sectional. Low medalist for the team was Dion Norris, who was also low medalist for the county and second low medalist in the Tri-Eastern Conference. Junior Ray Richardson was third low medalist for the county.

They led the football team to an undefeated season. They cheered the Lady Falcons to a sectional victory and on to regional. They also put spirit in the boys’ basketball team to bring home the horseshoe. Cheerleading took a lot of hard work and determination. It was not easy learning all the new cheers. It took a lot of practice. Girls’ varsity cheerleader sophomore Rhonda Farm- er stated, “We practiced two days a week from after school till 4:30.” Practicing led to polished cheers on game nights. Cheerleaders thought it wasn’t easy going to a game, cheering and wondering when they would have time to study for a big test the next day in school. The cheerleaders not only put time in after school but also put time in during the summer painting the Falcons on the back drive. Boys’ varsity cheerleader sophomore Deb Hawley was asked, did the Falcons cheer up the fans? She replied, “I think that it cheered the fans up, but it inspired the football team even more.” The inspiration of the cheerleaders encouraged the Falcons for a better outcome at the end of the season. — by Justin Robinson 137 BELOW: Having fun in French class are sophomores Jerry Baker and Deb Hawley.

Huber 1927-1988 Miss Doris Huber taught thousands of social studies students in her thirty-six years here in Randolph Central schools. She encouraged her students to reach their fullest potential in learning. To stress the importance of learning about government, Miss Huber sponsored Model United Nations and Eastern Indiana Model Legislature. Both of these activities were participative exercises for students in learning the operations of government. Miss Huber was a strong believer in democracy, learning, and the potential of every single student. 160 Serious Reflection WC successfully weathered another challenging year. Looking back, what did students seriously think about the year? Junior J.W. Osting declared, “This year was awesome because of my beautiful English teacher, Mrs. Varner.” Junior Mary Ann Osborne reflected, “School’s usually a drag, but the dances in the afternoon get you through it.” Junior Kristi Ashley’s best moment occurred when “an accidental fire drill caused me to freeze in the snow in a miniskirt.” For senior Susan Wilkins, “The most exciting thing that’s happened is that my birthday was on Friday the 13th!” Ron Rodeffer summed up the feelings of many seniors — “It’s been a short year!” Good or bad, fun or dull, WC students had some seriously lasting memories from the 1987-88 year. — by Jenny Hinshaw Firing up the fans at a home basketball game is “The Falcon. Various students portrayed the mascot that boosted Falcon teams to soaring heights. Jeanne Hardman, Daphne Hudson, Cathy Fields, and Stacy Marquess seem to be enjoying one of the afternoon dances. Friends and fun were vital parts of life at WC. Dndax. Demonstrating their newly acquired sign language skills are Karine Oswalt, Debbie Miller, and J.C. Morrison. Most students never ceased to learn new things at WC. FRESHMEN Ackman. Billy 44 Ackman. Tonya 44. 103 Alexander. Krista 44. 101. 103 Anderson. Susan 44. 98. 123 Atkinson.

Although we’ve reached the end of this book, “Seriously” will forever be a part of me. Working on this book has given me countless memories. First, I want to remember the people who contributed to this book. A million thanks to Mr. Bill Keever who took so many of the great pictures that made this book what it is. Along the lines of photography, thanks also to Mr. Phil Wray for cross country photos and to Mr. Tom Batt for great band footage. Mr. Bob Manning designed our fabulous cover and divider art. His unique work is tremendous and exactly what we wanted. Thanks — seriously! Shanna Westfall helped us out with ad artwork, and Mrs. Kathy Stonerock did some last minute proofreading just when we needed her most. Thanks also to the administration and to the community, for without your support, this book could’ve been a serious flop! Oh, and let’s not forget Mr. Kim Ash, whom few of you have had the privilege to know, for all of his help in the production of this book. And now for the really important people — my staff. You guys are priceless. Thanks for all of your hard work, cooperation, understanding, and perseverence. I couldn’t have asked for a better staff, and I hope that you’re proud of what we’ve accomplished. It truly is spectacular. Then there’s Jana — Jana Barnes, my assistant editor. You have been a counselor, a comfort, and a shoulder to lean on. I couldn’t have pulled it off without you, and I really appreciate your unfailing efforts. To Mrs. Margo Varner — adviser, friend, confidant, and let’s not forget “poopface.” The past three years have been the best. What is there to say besides “Thanks for everything”? “Everything” just about covers all that you’ve done for me. And finally, to you, the rcaaer. Thanks for making this a great year. We hope that we’ve captured the real WC the humor, the uniqueness, the spirit, and the pride. I guess that that about covers it. For you, this may be the end, but the ’88 staffers will continue “searching for a heart of gold Seriously.
