Way back in 1959 matinees such as Tarzan and the Lost Safari and South Pacific were popular, admis- sions ranging from 15c to 35c- Matinees today are $2.00. In the evening, movie viewers could see Jailhouse Rock ranging from $1.50 to $2.00. The I980 ' s have brought Return of the Jedi and Terms of Endearment with ticket prices ranging from $3.50 to $4.75. Plays were another source of enter- tainment during 1959. Admission to a school play was 65c for adults and 50c for students under 12. The prices of to- day are $i.OO. The scene has changed from pony tails, bohie socks, and plaid wool skirts A!ler County Mlic Ubrarj Ft Wayne, Indiana with poodles to preppy, punk rock, or designer jeans worn with sweaters. Guys no longer have to own a black leather jacket and have a duck-tail hair cut, all greased back, to be cool. Punk or shorter hair cuts are now in style for both guys and girls. Popular jobs were behind the soda fountain and pumping gas. Babysitters were paid between 35c and 50c an hour. Working at McDonald ' s or as a waitress are the jobs available for to- day ' s teenagers. Although prices, fashion, and jobs have changed, in actuality history is just slowly repeating itself.

Construction of the original Woodlan High School was begun in 1958 and it opened for school in the fall of 1959 with approximately 225 students in grades nine through twelve. 1965 saw the closing of Harlan High School with the students in grades nine through twelve moving to the Woodlan High School. Plans were inade in 1967 to move the Harlan Junior High and Woodburn Junior High to the Woodlan School building. 1967 saw the start of an addition to Woodlan High School and it was completed in January of 1969. at which time the Junior High students were moved to the new facili- ties and the school became Woodlan Junior-Senior High School. Another addition to the school has been the Warrior Mascot. Dressed in traditional manner, the mascot has aroused school spirit in many ways.

Juniors Doug Bontrager and Chad Hissong try to decide whether eating is worth the risk. Like some teachers who tend to freak under pressure, senior Rhonda Hermann finds that school pressures can add up. J -J lival of the fittest Survival of Fittest Although surviving four years of high school takes a lot of skill and talent, most students had the task down to an artform. Other students had made sur- vival a fun and often challenging game. Like all games, school had a set of its own rules. Students Nan Bedwell, Paula Hoeppner. Rhonda Hormann. Todd Bauer, and David Stieglitz applied their set of rules to the game and found they had an interesting year. Rules for surviving the year . . . don ' t take things seriously ... try to forget where you ' re at . . . pretend that it ' s summer . . . have patience with teach- ers, they tend to freak under pressure . . . just remember, parole comes at the end of May. Rules for living through lunch . . . bring a box of Pac-Man cereal . . . plug your nose, close your eyes, and pray . . . bring a portable stomach pump . . . bag it . . . don ' t eat, pack or starve ... try not to think about what you ' re eating . . . eat anything except the school food. Rules for doing homework . . . get to- gether with friends to ' compare ' your answers ... do it before the A-Team . . . only do as a last resort . . . radio must be on full volume . . . procrastinate. Rules for studying . . . force yourself . . . never during General Hospital . . . studying, what ' s studying? . . . cram . . . do it with someone smarter than your- self ... on the day of the test, carry your book all day and you ' ll do great on the test. Rules for surviving the weekend . . . keep a shotgun handy . . . keep a bottle of aspirin nearby . . . savor every min- ute . . . anything goes . . . keep revenge in mind with T.P.ing . . . make every minute last, Monday comes around too fast . . . make every night a night to remember. With rules such as these, you may have found that school was not half as bad as it seemed. While helping out In the library, sophomores Jeff Delagrange and Daniel Krlnn prove thai not tak- ing things seriously can be a lot of fun. One sure way to have fun studying Is to do it with your eyes closed as does senior Mark Koch. survival of the fittest While monkeying around, senior Debbie Hal- sey gets hung up. Even Hoosiers (Warriors ) know a beautiful sunset when they see one. When weather started getting warmer, one thought rested heavily on everyone ' s mind: I can ' t wait for sum- mer to get here. Vacation brought a choice of differ- ent activities. The weather cooperated for bicycling along country roads, cool- ing off in backyard pools, and spending leisurely afternoons in local parks. Free time provided the chance to hold a part-time job, do those much needed chores around the house, or take a trip. Some went to Cedar Point and Kings Island while others took to the wilderness. Many also spent time with school re- lated activities. After sessions at Defi- ance Drill Squad Camp, the drill team returned home full of ideas. Going to camp was a real pain, but we learned a lot anyway, replied junior Violet Brown. A familiar sight during the evening hours was the band already practicing with their new band director, Mr. ThoiTi Snyder. Hours were spent per- fecting marching steps, straight lines, and music. In order to improve journalistic skills, senior Diane Gruber and sophomore Christy Meek attended Ball State Jour- nalism Workshops. Spending a week with experts from all over the country proved to be a very profitable exper- ience. I had a good time and made many new friends while staying in the dorms, commented sophomore Christy Meek. All in all, summer was a time for re- laxing and fun in the sun.

The same old dreary Monday morn- ing turned mto something exciting when students arrived in sweat and sweatshirts for spirit week. Then on Tuesday, students came clad in wild clothes, colored hair and large amounts of makeup for punk rock day; on Wednesday. Warrior shirt and hatS; on Thursday, nice dress attire-, and for Fri- day, individual class spirit. At 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday the girls proved that they too could play dirty as they competed in the Powder Puff games. The juniors defeated the sen- iors in a controversial final game, 12-6. As the last class bell rang, students filled the gym with loud talking and laughter. After the school song, the stu- dent council put on a skit and FHA awarded a trophy to the cutest baby face. Scott Berning. The session closed as players and student body became Fired Up for the game. Although cool winds chilled the air, the fans still filled the stadium. By 7:30 p.m. the fans were ready for the game to start. The team made two quick touchdowns in the first quarter and one more in both the second and third quarters, bringing the final shut out over Carroll to 27-0. At half time the floats and Queen and King candidates paraded around the track. For the first time, the Queen and King were chosen at an after the game dance. Seniors Chris Logan and Steve Strasser were crowned Queen and King. The other candidates included seniors Sarah Mill- er and Curt Hermann, Tina Ort and Steve Goeglein; juniors Kelli Girardot and Steve Vogtman; sophomores Ca- mellia Clark and Craig Riebersal; and freshmen Jan Delagrange and Stan Gerig. With the close of the dance it was obvious that Warrior Pride Made It Happen. 12 homecoming made it happen homecoming 13 Seniors Teresa Wahl and Sandie Wilder join with juniors Kevin Yoder.

Eighth grade English teacher Mrs. Judy Homrig keeps busy preparing her Thanksgiving feast. M holidays Home for the holidays Parties, pretzels, and a football game were the only necessities of many stu- dents for a holiday weekend. Ski bums were delighted with a cha nce to spend time on the slopes and many other students enjoyed a traditional day with their families eating Thanks- giving turkey or exchanging gifts. However spent, each holiday vaca- tion brought a relaxing break for most, with costume parties, seeing Santa, and various celebrations. Because of its longevity, the winter vacation seemed most popular. It gave over-worked students and faculty time to catch up on sleep, and for a few am- bitious persons, it was a time to com- plete unfinished work. For other stu- dents it was especially great to catch up on the soap operas or to go snowmo- biling with friends. Yet, the one draw back of holidays was the next day back to school. Sitting in classes for a whole day seemed vir- tually impossible — especially after a vacation away from notes and tests. However, the majority of students sur- vived the first day back as they soon began to daydream about the next va- cation from school. With an ominous glow, seniors Steve Strausser and Scott Hoeppner show their true identity at a Halloween party. Working throughout the holidays was a task of many students. Senior Carolyn Nott rings up prices of items at Target. What else but football and food are necessities for a Thanksglv ing holiday and for junior Ronnie Hormann. Telling Santa what they want for Christmas, seniors Debbie Halsey. Curt Her- mann, and Todd Gerbers take time out for a picture. Seniors Debbie Halsey and Cammie Riebersal take a break before the start of their final powder puff game. Making all the right moves, seniors Patty Hern- don. Kris Heershe. Chen Woebbeking and Chris Logan discuss their team strategy. P ; Trying their hand at cheering, seniors Steve Strasser and Sieve O ' kocte support the senior players. Il5 powder puff 3ood times on ield or court Jerseys of the football players were jetting wet and muddy, but the girls nside them were having the time of heir lives on the Powder Puff field. X ' inning or losing, each team enjoyed he challenge of getting mean and Jirty. Junior and senior powder puff- •rs battled with each other in the final ;ame of the tournament. Jeanette Plat- er, junior, scored the controversial, vinning touchdown giving the juniors in 8 to margin as time ran out. Surfin ' Seniors caught a wave but louldn ' t ride it through during the Class Tourney. The championship game for the girls saw the seniors get- ting beat by some sharp dressed sopho- mores 20 to II. Funky Freshmen gave the senior boys a ride for their money in the boy ' s finals. The freshmen boys survived the senior tide, 28 to 24. Even though the seniors lost in the finals, the coordination of their beach towels and surfing music won the best theme award for the senior class. All and all, every class had a good time together on the football field or on the basketball court. : , Class Tourney junior cheerleaders JonI Smith and Rachelle Pettyjohn occupy the floor between games.

The boy ' s nerves are taut as he confronts the girl ' s parents for the first time, and there ' s always the possibility of disap- proval from the parents. As they drive through town, the ten- sion increases as the lack of conversa- tion hangs heavily in the air. Trying to improve the silence, the girl at- tempts to brighten up the conversation with a comment about the weather, stumbling over the words and sticking her foot in her mouth. The boy, also feeling uncomfortable, asks if she would like to see the latest movie. By the time the movie starts, awkward feelings once again arise as each of them wonders what the other is thinking. Should we move closer? Or hold hands? How should I put my arm around her? Should I unconspicuously stretch or be brave and commit the act? These and other thoughts often flow through their minds. After the movie, the first-daters feel a little more at ease with each other on the way home; they are now able to talk like old friends. When they arrive at the girl ' s driveway, she invites him into the house, and he accepts. When a favorite t.v. show, Saturday Night Live is over, the boy has to leave. The big question arrives, Will I get that goodnight kiss? Suddenly the boy reaches over and shyly kisses his date, slams the door, and runs to his car. The girl stunned with amazement, has had the best time of her life. Senior Cammie Riebersal shows that senior Duane Kees Isn ' t a bad guy after all. At the homecoming dance, senior Chns PlotI and junior Mitzi Martin share a special moment of true romance underneath the passion pit. Between classes many couples are seen spending a few moments together. Seniors Todd Fisher and Holly HIrsch make their regular route through the halls. 18 datlng After being crowned morp king and queen, fre shman Scott Yoder and junior Joni Smith display their approval of such an honor. It was Friday the 13th, and the Morp had returned to Woodlan. The Student Council sponsored the second success- ful backwards prom. The girls picked their dates up and took them to an ele- gant meal at McDonalds. They then proceeded to the gym to dance the night away. Students found the gym filled with twigs, streamers, stuffed bodies, and a canoe. At 10:00 the king and queen and their courts were announced. The second runner-ups were junior Ron Hoeppner and sophomore Becky Cook. Juniors Ron Hormann and Amy Saalfrank were first runner-ups. The king and queen for this years morp were freshman Scott Yoder and junior Joni Smith. Girls make the moves for Morp Freshmen Ray Mendenhall and Dru Delagrange take a break from dancing to get their picture taken.

May 19. After an enjoyable chicken, ham and roast beef buffet, junior Mark Smith announced the annual senior awards. Teri Geise and Todd Gerbers captured most conceited ; class clowns, Michelle Fisher and Billy King; most likely to be remembered, Trudy Cretsinger and Steve Goeglein; flits, Julie Lomont and Tony Persyn, and best legs, Sheryl Sadlon and Curt Hermann. While Fritz took pictures, the band Trade Wind played squaredancing music, the lights were turned up, and the crowd swung their partners. Junior Jerry Ahlersmeyer then announced Steve Vogtman and Kelli Girar- dot as King and Queen; their court. Sherry Floover and Doug Bontrager; Lynn Meinerding Bontroger; and Scott Berning; Amy Saalfrank and Matt Breda. It was the best time I had in a tuxedo, commented junior Doug Speith. Mark Smith said, It was one of the most enjoyable and memora- ble occasions that we will experience in high school. After eating, picture taking, and dancing, prom goers ventured on to breakfast at friends ' houses and prepared for a nice Sunday at lake cottages. Junior Nicki McCain summed up the evening: A night to cherish. Couples on the dance floor feel the beat of the night.

Several hours were put into routines for a minimal number of performances, but the members claimed it was more than worth it. During the summer, the Drill Squad attended Fred J. Miller clinic in Defi- ance to learn new routines and differ- ent techniques. They received two in- dividual awards: Meri Ruck man captured the most outstanding per- son in the drill team section, and freshman Schely Gerbers took home the most outstanding person in the majorette section. Most improved ri- fle twirlers were Chris Logan. Amy Yoder. Melody Malfait, Shelley Phillips and Amy Getting. As a group of flags, rifles, majorettes, and a drum major, the Warriorettes received a second in the large group competition. All of the hard work at camp made it nice to come and show their stuff at home football and basketball games, accord- ing to some of the members. The Swing Choir also put forth an extra special effort to make them- selves known. They performed at var- ious churches and contests throughout the year. Under the leadership of Miss Pat Deihl, the choir pleased crowds wherever they went.

Senior Jeff Richhart— A NFL team. Junior Kelli Girardot — A great sen- ior year for me and my friends. Sophomores Sue Eicher and Tracy Yerks — A prime dude in a brand new convertible corvette. As you can see, there are many pos- sibilities. You could be wild, crazy, practical or sentimental in your pur- chase. What would you buy? During a speech team meeting, senior Lisa Brunson and juniors Mark Smith and Steve Calhoun buy a laugh or two. Honor Night at Woodlan is a night set aside each year for the students to be recognized for the effort they have put forth. They receive awards for aca- demics, athletics, and other extra-cur- ricular activities. Jackie Lomont and Mike Bertsche re- presented the senior class as valedicto- rian and salutatorian, respectively. The citizenship award was given to Sandie Wilder and Steve Goeglein. Senior blan- kets were given to Joel Doehrman, Todd Gerbers, Steve Goeglein, and Steve O ' Keefe for their many achieve- ments. Honor Day was held for Jr. High stu- dents on May 10. The jr. high band per- formed different selections before the program started. Students received awards for academics and athletics. Those having perfect attendance were also recognized. Special recognition was given to those in Future Problem Solving. All in all. Honor Night and Honor Day was a huge success. Senior Shelley Cullen accepts her senior plaque from Coach DeLong. Jr. high students receive their social studies awards from Mr. Sherron. For his hard work in athletics, senior Todd Gerbers is awarded his athletic blanket from Mr. Strautman. Mr Greathouse reads off the names for junior high perfect attendance, as Mr. Bush hands out the certificates. A day night to remember Mr. Bush recognizes junior Emily Sugama as an exchange student.

Mike Bertsche briefly summarizes how seniors had passed their time away. After receiving their diplomas, the class o( 1984 smiles with relief. After the senior breakfast, instruc- tions and rehearsals of commencement exercises, the seniors anticipated the actual event. Once the band struck up Pomp and Circutnstance seniors began to walk up to the stage two by two. Class president Scott Hoeppner opened the program with a prayer. Sa- lutatorian Mike Bertsche summed up the years after various speakers had the floor. After thirteen years of riding the bus, packed lunches and homework, the graduates finally received their long-awaited diploiTias. As tassels were exchanged from left to right.

Salad bar is a popular attraction during noon hour for freshmen Vicki Horn and Gary Sefton. Even though national news such as the presidential primaries and the Olympic boycott made the head- lines, students managed to get their own headlines. During the week of March 2, the Bag-in became a local issue. News stations and newspaper media got in on the strike against the closing of the ala carte line in the cafeteria. It appeared that the majority was punished for the food throwing of a few, and this sparked a strong, yet calm, strike against the cafete- ria. Students joined together to stand up for their rights, as they brown bagged lunches on March 22. Expecting to buy milk, students learned they were to be denied this daily allowance. At the end of the day, Mr. Bush announced the reopening of the line for the following day. Other problems occurred in the classrooms, as stu- dents seemed to be accident-prone. Duane Kees cut the tip of his finger off in the printing shop. Randy Gruber required four stitches from an accident in shop, Lori Smith ' s finger heavily bled after cutting it on a razor blade in journalism, and Greg Stieglitz jammed his hand with a glass tube in chemistry. De- spite major or minor problems, life went on. Mary Reed, student tielper Trudy Reddin, and Bertha Doctor wait for luncti hour rush. After a good season.

For years and years the seniors were on the receiving end of the saying. Whether it be parents, teachers, or em- ployers, finally the time had come for the seniors to go out on their own. Hav- ing the chance to make their own deci- sions and seeing what the future holds for them was a chance they never dreamed of. Orwell ' s predictions in 1984 didn ' t hold true as the class of ' 84 controlled their own minds and destinies. Al though breaking out into a new world, facing people on their own. and waiting for graduation seemed quite different than the predictions. Orwell ' s 1984 gave the Party the power to think for them, but now the seniors had to think for themselves. The time had come for them to venture out on their own. Facing life as individuals and making decisions without parents looking over their shoulders or teachers hounding about homework seemed forever to commence. Decisions, decisions, and more decisions popped out of every- where and anywhere. With questions of where are you going to college? what career are you pursuing after you gra- duate? what about that job you said you were going to apply for last month? Suddenly the whole world was full of questions and no one had any an- swers — not even Big Brother. TREVOR J. ALLES DAWN R. ANDERSON Medical Careers Club 2.3. Mat Maid Club 23.

SANDIE WILDER: During speech class, I was giving a demonstration on volleyball skills. One of the guys seemed to be really impressed by my speech S was giving me his individual attention. I later discovered that my zipper was down. MIKE HAMMAN: When the cheer- leaders poured water down my pants in front of the whole school. JACKIE LOMONT: Walking in the clinic bathroom and finding some guy using it. BILLY KING: 9 yd. punt in the Carroll game. BILL HEMMELGARN: I was just go- ing to sleep after a party when a bunch of guys girls came crashing into my room § piled on my waterbed. I was in my underwear. JEFF JORDAN: Showing people my report card. LORINN SMITH: I scored two points for the wrong team. Along with the bad times came some good ones. Whether spending time with friends or doing crazy things, these moments were enjoyed by all. Some enjoyable moments were: PAULA HOEPPNER: Playing baseball in Mr. Myers Advanced Biology class my sophomore year. NANCY HOCKEMEYER: When we had a substitute teacher in Mr. Wal- dron ' s Junior English Class. KIM SNYDER: When I found out that I passed History with Mull.

The class of ' 85 did exactly that. Finally reaching the Nth grade, they assumed the role of up- perclassmen. Not only did they move up, but they were the largest class to come for sometime. Even though the juniors missed their ten o ' clock break, they provided lots of spirit throughout the year. They sold a record amount of magazines to provide for the junior- senior prom. They also backed the school in everyway and proved that they were truly upperclassmen. Even through all that hard work, they made time for the weekends. Many of them were loyal fans, supporting their team. Others took in a movie and pizza, or decided to go to the mall. While oth- ers just stayed at home and watched the idiot box. Whatever, the juniors always showed class. 44 junlor tftS snon Sandy Doctor Sanee Dorsey Jim Duncan Al Eglody Steve Ehle Matt Emenhiser Melody Faull Tracy Ferrell Mike Fuelling Lon Funk Veronica Garcia Brad Geistwhite Lisa Geradot Rod Gerbers Brian Gerig Joe Gerig Tim Gessner Elton Gingerich Kelli Girardot Cathy Goeglein Donna Hagan Kim Hagan David Hagelberger Steve Hall Michelle Hamm Wanda Harber Greta Harris Cindy Heckler Kevin Heckley Chad Hissong Randy Hockemeyer Ron Hoeppner Sherry Hoover Ron Hormann Sheri Irvin Joy James Phil James Renee James Laurie Johnson Susan Kennerk Dave Klinski Kathryn Knecht NOT PICTURED David Bremer Edward Hartman Kerry Leonard Junior Luann Pusey tries to look tough as fellow juniors Amy Saalfrank and Sarah Riebersal think otherwise. juniors 45 Dawn Knepp Steve Koble Nancy Koch Tad Krumlauf Andy Kurtz Max Lengacher Lisa Lewman Suzie Lomont Paula Madde Melody Malfail Debra Manter Michael Manter Jeff Martin Mitzi Martin Nicole McCain Kary McKinley Kirk McKinley Kim McMaken Lynn Meinerding June Meyer Michael Miller Tamera Miller Joann Mueller Shane Mumma Brandy Myers Hal Myers Jill Newhard Dan Nix Steve Nott Amy Getting Janean Osborn Shannon Parisot Rachelle Pettyjohn Shelley Phillips Jeanette Platter Luann Pusey Traci Reddin Trudy Reddin Chad Reeb Martin Rekeweg Jo Rich Barry Richart Trying to get their homework done on time, juniors Violet Brown and Meri Ruckman discuss an answer. -)i5 juniors A nioment of darkness for thoughts of doubt.

I am from the Collective fOols and nObodies League, commonly known as COOL. I would like to present to you my newest discovery. Once upon a time, there evolved from the teaming masses of high schoolers a class of very special stu- dents. These students were the ulti- mate, the most radical, and yet the most academic teens ever seen on this planet. The scholars, including myself, after great consideration decided to name these highly developed students . . . Sophomores. After a considerable amont of ob- servation in a controlled environment called school, the scholars found that this species had several unusual yet in- teresting habits. A few of these habits or customs included periods of instruc- tion about anything from predicates to mathematical theorems, the ritual of kicking and pounding lockers to vent anxieties, receiving a driver ' s license to risk life and death in an automobile, and choosing clothing styles to fit per- sonalities. As a conclusion to this report, la- dies and gentlemen, I have found that although being a sophomore was a step above other species, there was one other species more advanced . . . Graduates.

When the freshmen class was asked questions such as what their favorite word or phrase was, how they felt about being a freshmen, and what they would like to change about WHS, they responded in many different ways. Favorite words and phrases con- sisted of Excellent, No doubt, Whatever and No way. Also in the halls statements could be heard like. This is a fine mess you got me into! and Why does it always have to be me?? If you kept your ears open you might have heard, Peace! Death to the communist slime! or Time to eat! Various views were given to the question of how they felt about be- ing a freshman, out of junior high: I love it! Even though we ' re still at the bottom, I believe we ' re at the top. I think it ' s no different. We ' re still looked down upon by the upper- classmen, but the junior high look up to us. Some felt it gave them more responsibility along with the chance to learn independence. There were also those who took the middle of the road view: Being a freshman is o.k., but I ' d rather be a junior or a senior. Changes they would like to see made consisted of getting break back, riding any bus without having a real important excuse, and ma- jority agreed to less homework. 53 freshmen Sean Cullen Kecky Cuniiiuns Dru L elagrange Jan Pelagrange Kent Delagrange Troy Dial Tina Doclor Becky bborly Cissy fcly Lyn ttzler Todd Evans Todd Ki|lik Joclen Frankart Aimee Gaston Jenny Gerardot Schely Gerbers Slan Geng Tim Geng Freshmen Angle Logan.

But this year ' s eighth graders were an exception as they made the best of their last year. They did their work along with being rowdy. Mrs. Judy Homrig replied that they were a fun, enthusiastic and an intelli- gent group. She added that in her six- teen years of teaching eighth graders, there has never been a dull moment. Athletics also played an important role in their lives, and they showed spirit with pep sessions. Tyler Harris said that his favorite things were sports and girls. They also took time out of their sum mers to catch a lot of insects for bug collections for science class. Then, again at the end of the year, they col- lected leaves. In between these collec- tions they put their efforts into reports and demonstration speeches for Eng- lish. For Miss Pat Luenberger, they memorized part of the Gettysberg Ad- dress.

No, who? Suzie and Dave! But, I thought Suzie was going with Steve. Oh, Michelle, that has been the ol- dest news around. This kind of gossip was heard about the seventh-grade halls, either about boys, new fads, latest hair-styles, or the hottest new couples. As seventh graders entered jr. high, they became influenced by friends, ei- ther girlfriends or boyfriends, and they tried to impress one another by seeing who could date the most, or seeing who could get away with what from the teacher the most. Being the youngest of the school and having to look up to other classes were the tough times for the seventh graders. 60 ' seventh grade Kristi Hamlin Richard Haney Breni Harrington Deanna Hathaway Troy Hege Mike Hensly Heidi Herschberger Andrea Hertig Tom HIrschy Angle Hubbard Chris James Tracy Jones Bill Kayal Andy Kilpatrlck Brian Kilpatrick Nick klopfenstein Jeff Koop Jamie Kurtz Cheryl Legg Ed Lomont Stephanie Long Matt Louden Monica Mckinley David Milard Eugene Miller Regina Miller Tammy Miller Travis Miller Monica Moon Bob Motley Brian Mull kevm Mulllett Shannon Mumma Richard Nietert Laura Njus Joe Nussbaum Regina Miller.

Who planned the lessons? Who conducted discussions? Of course, these tasks were performed by the teachers throughout the school year. The faculty also mvoived themselves in activities outside the classroom. Sponsoring clubs during activity period was one such outside activity. Mrs. Nancy Fer- don and Mr. Tom Adams spent most of their free time with the Future Problem Solvers, while Mr. Ed Delong was cap- tured by the Dungeons and Dragons Club. While coaching, Mr. Gay Martin and Mr. Bill Mull led the boys basketball teams to fine season records. Mr. Den- nis Meisle was pinned by his wrestlers and Mr. Dean Lehrman was hitting with the baseball players. Sponsoring classes required patience from Mrs. Gayle Etzler and Mrs. Norma Gilbert as they helped guide the sophomore class in school activities. Besides heading clubs, coaching teams, or being a class sponsor, Mr. Howard Baulkey and Mr. Keith Pierson worked at Fort Wayne Magnovox as security officers on off hours. The faculty not only extended their talents in the classroom, but also in activities outside teaching.

This school year was the last for them as they retired in May. Collectively, 67 years of their lives were spent at Woodlan teaching, coaching, and sponsoring activities. Who can forget Mr. Joseph Bell ' s short- hand, typing, or accounting classes? He has been at the helm for 17 years. Gym class just won ' t be the same with- out Mrs. Norma Gilbert leading the ex- ercises. Discussions of legalities surely won ' t be as heated anymore after Mr. Ray Gilbert leaves.

Making sure everything was working properly was a big responsibility for these people. They were called upon nearly 24 hours a day. Various jobs required only a short amount of time, while others took up the entire day for them. They were responsible for the waxed hallways, clean rooms, the removal of trash, the school lawns, clean blackboards, and even the paper towels in the restrooms. The custodians were often taken for granted and given no applause for their efforts. Along with the custodians, the cooks played an important role in the school. The cooks not only took on the grueling task of preparing the school lunches, but often made meals for var- ious clubs and athletic banquets. Different tastes were usually satisfied with the regular lunch line, a la cart line, or the salad bar. Deserved applause to the cooks was neglected like the custodians. If it was not for the combined efforts of these people the school would not have run as smoothly as it did. faculty 67 Life in the boonies . . .

Playing cards with friends, T.P.ing enemies, attending private parties and traveling to see a movie turned out to be about the only things to do when living in the boonies. Living in Woodburn or Harlan was definitely considered the boonies. Many times even a trip to Ft. Wayne seemed like a trip around the world. Often times other schools referred to us as farmers, hicks, or country boys, and in soine respects they were right. But what they did not know was the freedom the boon- ies had to offer. Freedom came in forms of backroad parking, no nosy neighbors, and attending those wild private parties without the fear of a cop dropping in. Sometimes the parties were scarce so another form of fun had to be found. According to junior Rachelle Petty- john, going to the Casbah or putt-putting on weekends were those extra activities to participate in. While some enjoyed the parties and time spent with friends, others were hard at work. Whether waitresses, busboys, gas attendants or cashiers, most of the jobs were located outside of Woodburn and Harlan. Many times jobs required only a few hours a week, said sen- ior Carolyn Nott. Since the hours were ininimal, time could still be found for friends, family, and for things to do on those excitmg weekends or breaks in the boonies.

Challenging chores Students enrolled in business classes were challenged with tabulations, timed writings, dictations, personal and business letters, and the many dif- ferent types of transactions of a busi- ness. Basic typing skills were practiced in typing 1-2, as students became familiar with the keyboard. In typing 3 students tested their expertise as they tried to increase their words per minute. The shorthand class spent their time studying their brief forms and increas- ing their dictation speed. Accurate and rapid transcription skills were prac- ticed as the teacher, Mr. Joe Bell, pre- pared them for a career in the secre- tarial field. In this computer growing society, many students learned that they need- e d business classes to be able to com- pete in the business world.

While in music, seventh graders Pam North and Troy Hege try to comprehend what music is all about. An array of talent was displayed throughout the school year by music and art students. Deb Botteron, Gary Steiglitz, Troy Tuto, and Shelley Cullen were named Gold Key Finalists in the Northeastern In- diana Regional Art Competition. Their works were then sent to New York to com- pete nationally. First and second year high school art students created projects in letter design and calligraphy, acrylic paintings, graphic design, and stencil art after Robert Indiana. Third and fourth year students experimented in such things as clay, watercolors, oils, photogra- phy and jewelry. These projects were then exhibited in showcases for all to see. Students were shown slides on various artists works and were presented with history of art. Mr. Van Horn concluded, Collectively the seniors have done a bet- ter job this year than they have done in the past. Music students were also exposed to the history of music and the several kinds of music. Pitch, tone, and rhythm were discussed along with form, harmony, and melody. Along with these, students were exposed to various vocal and instrumental musics from pop to jazz. Eighth graders also learned how to create synthesizer sounds with tape recorders.

Mem- bers put many hours in during the summer working on march- ing and playing skills to prepare for future performances. These performances included the Bluffton Street Fair, area parades, winter and spring concerts, football and basketball games, pep sessions, as well as concerts at the Woodburn and Harlan Elementary schools. Mr. Thomas Snider took over the direction of the band before the start of school and made changes for the better. A school is its students and I like Woodlan a lot! When I saw who and what I had to work with, I knew the job was monumental but the students have cooperated every step of the way and the Spirit of Woodlan has taken BIG steps forward this year. There was a sense of pride that wasn ' t there before. Band requires skill and concentration as freshman Cortney Schwartz displays during half time. Holding up under pressure Between controlling the class and consoling frustrated writers, Mrs. Homrig, adviser of the staffs, was of- ten heard yelling, Do you have your headling done? or That ' s trapped white space-, do it over! Although there were many headaches, both staffs survived and they produced two top notch publications. The Arrow staff strived to produce the yearbook by recording the various events that occurred throughout the year. The members of the Pow Wow staff reported on various issues concerning the school, its students, and the world surrounding them. Struggling to meet deadlines, writing copy, and designing layouts was a nor- mal day for the staffs; however, their sufferings provided for Woodlan two unique publications. Speech students gave many speech- es throughout the year, ranging from formal demonstrations to sales talks. They also interviewed some individual of their choice.

V f J ARK Those students starting out in Ger- man and Spanish wrestled with strange pronunciations, while those in ad- vanced years started to learn the for- eign life-styles. Discovering a culture different from their own was the stu- dents ' fascination. They learned more about the heritage and culture of the countries they studied. The students participated in all sorts of fun as well as educational activities. During spring break, some Spanish stu- dents traveled to Mexico to discover the civilization of the Spanish people. The German classes did skits, dia- logues, and readings throughout the year. Teaching the students the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing a unique language is often a difficult task, especially while learning the English language.

Students in Metals -2 were made aware of the metal industry as they worked with welding, forging, and casting. Metals 3-4 studied the history of steel and learned skills in surface grinding and welding. In Woods 1-2, emphasis was placed on the use of hand tools while Woods 3- 4 learned the basics of mass production and made scale models of different ar- chitectural projects. Knowledge of the uses of AC and DC currents, voltages, and resistance and their relationship in the construction of circuits was acquired by students in electricity class. Vo-ag classes were introduced to ag- ricultural occupations as they studied soil production, modern farm manage- ment, and anim al agriculture.

Students who wanted a change from everyday classes took auto mechanics, graphic arts, and forestry wildlife. They made projects and learned many new things about the environment. Students in auto mechanics learned the fundamentals of all automotive sys- tems. Emphasis was placed on using the proper procedures and test equipment to locate and correct the problems in the different systems. In graphic arts students learned to letterpress, offset print, silk screen, rubber stamp pressing, bindary, block print, hot foil transfer, and plastic me- tal engraving. They completed various projects throughout the year. Students in forestry wildlife learned the many values of their land and wild- life. Learning to preserve animals for less and caring for the land were exper- iences gained by students. While waiting in line to use the machinery, sen- iors Greg Buchan.

It gave stu- dents a time to put forth their physical abilities rather than mental, which was a great relief for most students after hours and hours of sitting in a class- room studying all day. Most students enjoyed activities such as ping pong and volleyball, but one of the favorites was square dancing. As Mr. Martin stated, seventh and eighth graders weren ' t too fond of it, but high school students seemed to enjoy it after the first couple of days.

Pains, gains found in labs Eighth grade science was a basis for all future sciences. Models of solar sys- tems, insect collections, and dissecting animals were some things experienced by students. It was really interesting when we disected cow lungs, com- mented Mr. Amstutz. Student reac- tions were gross while some others thought it was neat. The biology classes consisted of more detailed labs. The disection of worms, squids, and sharks proved to be worthwhile exper- iences. I loved dissecting the worms and looking at the guts, expressed ju- nior Violet Brown. The laboratory in chemistry was more dangerous than the ones for biol- ogy students. The feat of explosions, fingers being cut by glass, and screw- ing up an experiment were in the minds of all students. Many times in the morn- ing students could be found making up a lab. Daily routine of physics was dis- cussing theories and world affairs. Even though these classes were elec- tives, they were later required for those students pursuing a career in medicine and engineering.

As senior Sandy Miller explained, Ev- ery home ec class has taught me some- thing, like learning to save my money by making my own clothes. Child Develop- ment class brought in children from the ages of three to six, while students here observed their behaviors and attitudes. All home ec classes were not just for girls.

Grammar is pounded into the brain from seventh to twelfth grade. For a change, litera- ture is read quite extensively also. Stu- dents read anything from Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and MacBeth to The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill A Mock- ingbird, and 1984. Speeches, debates, and other various activities were also done throughout the year. A major change took place in the his- tory department. Mr. Ed Knape and Mr. Bill Mull exchanged teaching roles. Mr. Knape took the juniors and crammed into their heads everything they could Mrs. Judy Homrig expresses to eighth graders the importance of grammar usage. possibly want to know about U.S. Histo- ry. From the pilgrims landing to the Vietnam war, juniors learned many things about their history. This left Mr. Mull at the top with the seniors. In gov- ernment, students learned the many branches and how each worked to maintain law and order in our govern- mental system. The economics classes discovered a little change from pre- vious years. Under the direction of Ju- nior Achievement, the classes started and operated their own companies. They learned how a company works, sold stock, produced a product, and then sold the product all in one nine- weeks time. The change seemed to help students understand better about their economic system, along with making a few bucks. Shakespeare vs. Washington t.

The team missed the size and speed of past years, but they learned valuable lessons to use in all areas of their lives. They prepared themselves for next year ' s varsity spots, through hard work, hustle, and determination. Good sportsmanship and Warrior pride carried the team through tough situa- tions and a struggling season.

Perfect season for frosh Hard work and dedication paid off as the freshmen produced a winning season. After a strong 34-0 opening win against Busco, the team ' s only two losses were to Harding and Carroll, in which they were unable to score. Despite these two losses, they did finish with a 6-2 record. Coach Lehrman commented on the competition, The teams were very competent and strong opponents this year. He added that the most important aspects of foot- ball at this level are to gain as much exper- ience (playing time) as possible for each individual, and the level of confidence in a player ' s ability is attained through suc- cessful winning.

It ' s not always winning that counts, it ' s the way you play the gaine. This saying was something that the seventh grade football team could relate to. Al- though they did not win the majority of their gaines, they did give it their all. They closed their season with a 2-3-1 record and looked forward to playing again next year.

For the second straight year, the Lady Warriors set a new school record. They ended with a most impressive re- cord of 19-2. Many exciting moments were created for all those involved. The first 15 games were victories pro- viding for a first-ever state ranking ap- pearance, the highest coming at 15th. For the first time ever, they made it to the ACAC finals. Being down by as many as 14 points at half, the Warriors came back to within two points before bowing out to conference foe Heritage. The Warriors bounced back and won the conference title with a 7-0 mark. They made it to the finals of the sec- tional for the second-straight year. Once again they were pitted against DeKalb. The 8th ranked Barons didn ' t intimidate the Warriors. The game was close until the Barons pulled away near the end of the game. The Warriors dominated the All- Conference team. Seniors Holly Hirsch, for the third year, Lori Smith and ju- niors Joni Smith, for the second year, and Lynn Meinerding were selected. Junior Amy Anderson made Honorable- Mention All-Conference.

Individual talent plus teamwork equaled a 20-4 record, the best season in the history of the school. Along with the 20-4 team record came records abolished by individuals. Sophomores Rob Geistwhite and Greg Stieglitz were on the All Conference ACAC team. Rob earned a 56 field goal percentage. Ju- nior Ron Hermann mastered his skills enough to be voted Most Improved Player of the Year. Going out in style seniors Todd Gerbers, Curt Hermann, Chris Plott, and Steve O ' Keefe set many records. Todd Gerbers set a new career scoring record with 1,236 points. Todd was se- lected to the First Team Academic All State, All Conference ACAC Team and received First Team All-Area Team. Teammate and classmate. Curt Her- mann, dished out 373 assists for his ca- reer, received honorable mention to Academic All State and was voted Most Valuable to the team. Chris Plott sunk his free throws for a 91% record and was named Pepsi Cola Player of the Year. Losing to Bellmont and Harding and then turning to a 13 game winning streak led the team to a terrific season. These records and achievements proved to be many reasons the team wore such titles as ACAC Tournament Champs, Co ACAC Champs with Car- roll and Norwell, and Sectional I Runner- Ups to Northrop.

Through- out the year the team learned about teamwork and they gained experience on the floor to improve skills toward the future. With a fresh spirit and an eagerness to win, the team ended with a record of 17 wins and 3 losses. The reserve team also won A.C.A.C. tour- ney, under the coaching of Bill Mull. Along with the reserve, the fresh- men team also had a successful season. They experienced the pressures of high school basketball for the first time and ended with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses. Hard work should make this class at Woodlan, commented Mark Hetrick, coach of the freshman team. Although there were a few disappoint- ments throughout the season, the team had fun and Woodlan can be proud of their performance.

Al- though having a losing season, the team gained valuable playing time for the fu- ture. The leading scorer was Chad Brown. The eighth grade girls ended their season with a 5-7 mark. They had a couple of close games that could have gone either way. They had a very close tourney game against Churubusco los- ing by only tow points.

Senior Scott Brueck commented, It ' s a unique feel- ing being the only senior on the varsity team. Each meet was my last one, and all the other guys will have another chance next year.

Freshman Mike Meyer, ju- niors Derek Brown, Paul Schlegel, and Hal Myers all advanced to Regionals, but failed to succeed any further.

One of the team ' s achievements was winning the Eastside Classic by defeating Car- roll 6-3 and then Eastside for the final, 3-1. Coach Dean Lehrman commented on the season, We accomplished two long-term goals this season — to build a class program and to gain respect. It has been especially nice working with this group of seniors, three of which have lettered since their sophomore year. The seniors were the leaders of the team. As Steve O ' Keefe looked back on the season he said, I feel we have turned the baseball program into a win- ning program and kept the main aspect of the game — to have fun. Senior Mark Koch stated, I felt that we had a pretty good season. We came up short in several very important games, and gave up some games we should have won. Varsity; Chad Sowers, coach.

I3i boys track While their record was better than last year ' s, the boys track team was still a few steps too slow. The team fin- ished with a III record and placed 7th in the A.C.A.C. conference meet. Individual performances are the main aspect of track and field. The Warriors had many strong individuals that just couldn ' t put it together. Senior Mike Hamman was the Warriors point leader with 129.75 points. He also broke the school record in the 100 meter dash and 400 meter dash with a time of II.O seconds and 50.4 seconds, respective- ly. Mike also placed 1st in the 100 meter dash and 400 meter dash in the A.C.A.C. Although the year turned out on a negative note as a team, the individual achievements were outstanding. With strong youth coming in as freshmen, the squad looks to better their season record in years to come. . m Leaping over the hurdle. Senior Craig Smith strides toward the finish line.

The girls final record stood at three losses and two wins, while the boys finished with three wins and two losses. The competitors showed great enthusiasm in their meets and strong determina- tion in their afterschool practices. Their biggest accomplishment was in the ACAC meet as they came in a strong second to Norwell. Receiving experience in competition helped them to improve themselves physically and prepare for their future track years at Woodlan. During practice, eighth graders Troy Smith.

Attending sports activities, rain or shine, managed to give the fans enthu- siasm, making posters, decorating lockers of teams ' members ' are all in demand. New uniforms were pur- chased by egg sales which raised over $500, clear profit. Football cheerleaders attended camp at Defiance College, winning the most spirited award and first place tro- phy for overall evaluation. Practice be- gan at 7:00 a.m. and some sessions last- ed until 10:00 p.m. While at camp they learned new cheers, dance routines, and mounts. Both squads attended competition at Hicksville; football won 4th while basketball didn ' t place. Freshmen squad put in many hours of practice after school until games started. They were active and made their spirit known by cheering at some girls varsity games, wrestling meets, during the holiday tourney, sectional and of course freshmen games. Hey fans, how do you feel?

An opportunity to participate in the State Bowl was what the Future Prob- lem Solvers worked for. To be ready for competition, the FPS teams worked on the practice problems which included electronic gaines and prisons. The problem to qualify for state pertained to the uses of lasers in the future. One senior team qualified to attend the State Bowl. The team members includ- ed seniors Trudy Cretsinger, Jeanette Lomont, and Jackie Lomont along with junior Sherry Hoover. The team placed second in the skit presentation of the best solution and the team placed third in the problein evaluation. One inter- mediate teain was invited to state as an alternate. There were only ten teams invited to the Bowl at the state level. The High School Student Council in- volved themselves and provided the school with academic and social func- tions. The Council sponsored the Homecoming, Sweetheart, and Christ- inas food drive, Blood mobile, Honor Night, and assemblies were also some of the contributions to the school and community by the Student Councils. High School offices included senior Chris Logan as president-, junior Brian Gerig, vice-president; junior Heidi Wietfeldt, secretary-, and senior Julie Lomont, treasurer. Students for National Honor Society were selected by the faculty on the ba- sis of the of the student ' s scholarship, leadership, character, and service in the classroom and community. Thir- teen present senior members were joined by six seniors and thirteen ju- niors. Offices included Michael Bertsche as president; Steve O ' Keefe, vice-president; Trudy Cretsinger, sec- retary; and Kristi Cook, reporter. Another form of a honor society was the Quill and Scroll. It was a club for all those journalism students displaying above average ability to write good copy, design layouts, and other journal- ism skills to produce a yearbook or newspaper. The combination of Future Problem Solvers, Student Council, National Hon- or Society and Quill and Scroll en- hanced academic and social life.

Learning basics The Future Homemakers of America, sponsored by Julia Wilson and Shirley Deetz, was one of the busiest organiza- tions here. The major emphasis of FHA was on family life education. This in- cluded such areas as homemaking, con- sumer education, child care and nutri- tion. Some of the many activities the FHA sponsored were Freshman Initi- ation, Daddy Date Night, a candy sale. Teachers ' Breakfast, Easter Egg Hunt, the Rose Banquet, and something new this year, the selling of carnations for Valentine ' s Day. FHA was a learning experience. It taught me a lot of things I didn ' t know, said senior Janice Web- ster. Another busy organization was the Future Farmers of America, sponsored by Ron Hefty and Richard Grubaugh. Some of the activities included Green- hand Initiation, National FFA Week, and members also participated in sev- eral judging and leadership contests. During National FFA Week the club held a basketball tournament in which different teams took part. Another event which took place during the week was a quiz table during the noon hours. Students and staff members were asked questions and if they an- swered them correctly they received an FFA pen. FFA gave me the basics of the land that can ' t be learned in other classes, commented senior Craig Smith. FHA: Tammy Miller. Dawn Knepp. Trudy Cretsinger, Jo Rich, Joann Muller, Wanda Harber.

For the art club members, etching glass, making pinhole cameras and working with clay, occupied many of their Fridays. A professional china painter and watercolor artist came pre- sented speeches. They also traveled to Ft. Wayne for a photo field trip. German Club started the year off with German food, and a trip to Fran- kenmuth. Besides their trip, German members enjoyed skiing at Swiss Val- ley. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes filled their year with film, speakers, and discussions. They learned of the importance of caring for other people and sharing faith in Christ with others. Prom Committee: Marty Rekeweg, Jean Platter. Sherry Carpenter; second row: Denise Breit.

The d S d club met every Monday during activity pe- riod for another adventure of killing dragons and hunting for gold. Mean- while, the auto mechanics club worked on tuning up cars, before the club came to an end during the middle of the year. Even though we were small, we did better as a group than in the past years, said senior Michelle Fisher. She was referring to the speech club, which consisted mainly of competing, while sometimes practicing on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Senior Kristi Cook and junior Mark Smith competed in region- als. Partying and skiing were on the top of the ski club ' s agenda. In remember- ing the trip to Swiss Valley, sophomore Christy Meek said, Everytime I fell, I left blue streaks in the snow. While they were skiing, the matmaids stayed at home, busily preparing for the wres- tling meets.
