Well, to tell the truth — everything from the teachers and Mr. Clcvenger to the court- yard improvements and the ducks! Aside from the obvious changes there are a lot of not-so-obvious changes. Sophomore Cherrie Partin exclaimed that people are a lot rowdier! Junior Kaleen Stoller said, Everything is the same, and she ' s holding out till next year. Junior Cheryl Stutzman thought, it ' s a lot more fun. People are goofing around more this year than ever before. With several new teachers, a new prin- cipal, several exchange students, the mu- ral in the cafeteria, the new head cook, the pond, and most importantly — the ducks, students found all these changes added up to an unusual and exciting year. By stay- ing up with the changes you could survive this year and maybe even have the privi- lege of joining the ducks in saying Bot- toms up to the problems and not-so-fun times during the year.

Everywhere I look all I see are people! Although at times a crowd can frazzel your nerves, make you want to scream at the top of your lungs, and pull fistsfull of hair out of your head, you ' ll find that most of the time a crowd can be fun and even a rewarding exper- ience. The crowd here at Woodlan may not be as large as many schools, but it still tends to bring out the best and the worst in peo- ple. Everybody knows everybody pretty well. explained senior David Stieglitz. Junior Leslie Langston thinks every- body is nice. Seventh grader Jennifer Goodin said, Most of us are friends, so there really isn ' t a disadvantage. It has its pluses and minuses. In a small school, people have their own close circle of friends, but there also tends to be cliques, which can be bad. commented Mr. Keith Pierson. So just keep your cool and you may survive the crowd experience. Juniors Cilery! Nicole, Julie Rosswurm and Tami Tuto use their creative talents while decorating the halls during Spirit Week. Tribal Life 5 THE LATEST IN FASHION As autumn brings another school year around. mi ' .ions are to be found. ; rs, braided and tied, ngths, and shaved on one Earrings are in and one of the best buys, not only for girls but also for guys. Florescent socks and a sweater to match, and under the arm — a cabbage patch. Footwork is fancy with shoes of all kinds, 1985, the class of creative minds. And as for the latest music this year, rap is the only sound you will hear. 4 Senior John Burkhart models the new look in menswear. Junior Christy Meek along with seniors Deb Manter, Joni Smith, and Amy Anderson display the latest fashion in hair style and ear apparel. Fads and Fashions 7 ' Mf ai i ztL ' ' ' ' Mm Have you ever asked yourself, Why does everything happen to me? I ' m sure many of you have. For example, there is this person you have a massive crush on right in front of you in the hall, and your foot catches on something on the floor and you fall right into him her. Talk about feeling stupid! How about after Christmas vacation when everyone comes back and goes to their locker, and you ' re the only one who can ' t remember your combination. So, you avoid your locker all day, until every- one leaves at the end of the day, and you have to find a janitor to open it. Don ' t you feel like such a jerk? It ' s not fair is it? Take senior Mike Burchardt for in- stance, he came to English class like every normal day, and it turned to disaster. He sat down in his chair into a big wad of gum. How about this one? Senior Lynn Meinerding came to practice the day be- fore we played Northop and went to put her shoes on and they were two different shoes; and if that wasn ' t enough, they were for the same foot. Life just isn ' t fair, is it? All fed up with school work, senior Chad Hissong takes a fall from his homework. Oops Someone leaves the restroom with a little trail of toilet paper behind them. Not able to remember her combination, Senior Amy Getting asks does this always happen to me. t: ■ c s. f o yf g ■ CN O n CO m ( . E oc 1 — CO ■ 4 10 il ' s Not Fair! It ' s Not Fair Senior Mike Burchardt finds he would have been better off to ha stuck to his original idea. Junior Mark EIrod opens his locker to find his trained books fall into his arms. Mrs Eckerl yelling so loudly blew senior Andy Blakley right to the floor. It ' s Not fair! 11 Suffering from Culture Shock, senior Amy Getting trys to fit in with the Berlin crowd. Senior John Burkhart spends a sunny afternoon soaking up the rays while washing his car for a hot date. Senior Debbie Manter and boyfriend make a splash in Opryland. Hooray Summer Is Here! By the end of school, students and teachers became restless for summer to come. When school was finally out, students and their fam- ilies as well as teachers began planning in what activities they would be doing throughout the summer months. Students and teachers that traveled within the United States went to Florida, California, Ohio, South Dakota, Virginia Beach and to many more of the 50 states. Mr. Holt ' s German class got to take a very special trip overseas to Germany. His class went to Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and East Germany, as well as many more cities and places in Germany. His class also saw surrounding countries. Christy Meek, junior, describes her time spent in Germany: It was an exciting experience! I thought I wouldn ' t be able to understand anyone, but the language wasn ' t too hard to understand, and I just loved their clothes. Other students went to nearby lakes and spent time with their families or with friends. Teachers and students felt the same way — that summer is a time to lie back and relax; it ' s not a time to worry about homework or school. Sum- mer is a time to be spent with the family or with friends. To further their knowledge in n:iusicals, Miss Delhi, graduate Kim Hatcher and freshman Cory Wietfeldt spend time at a summer camp. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Deetz spend time with fellow teachers in sunny California for a convention. The faithful Buckeye fan, Mrs Eckert spends a little time with her dogs at Lake James. Mrs. Fickle is Gone with the Wind at Universal Studios in California. Summer 13 In the lobby after lunch is the time sophomores can be seen consulting while Nick Lengacher in- terrupts. Just Goofing During a prep period, student teacher Eileen Notestine and paraprofessional Carol Harris relax by reading the newspa- per and eating munchies. Gabbing at lunch time is a common social event for freshmen. 14 Goofing around Around Having fun is the name of the game. Woodlan students are often seen goofing around and wasting time. Sometimes even the teachers get into acting crazy to make another day a little more fun. Acting crazy and like Nerds relieves the tension and pressure of everyday school life. Warriors are known to make the best of their free time. Goofing around in the lobby after lunch seemed to be the most relaxing and some- times the most fun part of the days. As some seniors played the game Duck, Duck, Goose and enjoyed paperwad baseball games, they proved that seniors could act goofy. Teachers also enjoyed the lunch hour in their lounge because they had to catch up on the latest news and socialize with other teachers. When the lunch bell rang it was back to class. During the five minutes between classes students asked many questions: for example, Was the test hard? Are you going to the game tonight? Do you have any pictures left? Did you finish your homework? Write me a letter! is something often heard in the halls. When teachers gave students time to study, they were often caught writing letters or passing notes. Whether it ' s hallway fun or classroom mischief, Warriors believe in just goofing around. Caught in action skipping class are seniors Amy Anderson and Chad Hissong. Senior Paul Schlegel takes a break from homework to write a letter. Goofing Around 15 Senior Scott Berning participates in Safari day during spirit week. Go get them G.I. Joe! The boys basketball team jumps and struts to the jams of Cindi Lauper. Seniors Amy Anderson, Joni Smith, Debbie Manter and Kim Wells hula in the library. Senior Randy Combs shows his w ' ellrounded spirit at the pep session 16 Splrlt ' All Kinds of Spirit From WHS ipirit Week: The successful spirit week showed how nuch the Warriors cared for the victorious ootball team. From the grass skirts and unglasses of Hawaiian day, to the plaid lants and striped shirts of Nerd day, the Varriors all were participating to get the Varriors on the warpath to beat the rival 2am, the Leo Lions. The feat was then ccomplished. iasketball Aerobics: The boys varsity and reserve basketball ;ams started out conditioning in a differ- nt way this year besides running and racticing their jump shots. Mr. Gay Mar- n, the boys varsity basketball coach, lought aerobics would be a good way to et the foot movement and quickness that le team needed this year so aerobics it ' as. Coach Martin says We needed the uickness this year that we had the last !w years. One of the players expressed is feelings about the aerobics: Before e started I thought it would be a waste of me, but after we did it, it was not too bad nd I felt loose and ready to play. Coach lartin states It was beneficial to the ones ho set their minds to it, and not to the les who just went through the motions. he players were teased a lot and the fact lat they hung in there and participated lowed the spirit for the team and Wood- n High School. Pep Sessions: The first pep session for the Warriors was held on Tuesday, September 25. The pep session was a rather different kind, with a contest of Lady Warrior weight- lifters and a Warrior beauty contest. The winner of the he-lady weightlifters was senior Lynn Meinerding, and the feminine winner of the beauty contest was the sleek sophomore Lyle Vondran. All of the effort was for the Warrior football team to tri- umph over the Leo Lions. The second pep session was held that Friday, September 28. With the band, drill squad and students making the foot- ball team rowdy, the sure win was on its way. A quote from Mr. C was, It was well organized and served its purpose. The purpose was for the team to get fired up and win and with the help of the stu- dents they did just that. Blood Donations: Another kind of spirit is the spirit of giving , not only during Christmas time, but all the time, like giving blood. The Warriors started giving blood in the small gym at 10:30 a.m. on December 14, and did not stop until after school was over. From getting checked for hemoglobins to the snacks for energy, the Warriors par- ticipated with positive attitudes for the life giving project. Altogether, 93 pints of blood were donated. Senior Jeanette Platter said, I was nervous, but it may save a life someday. This was the same feeling of many other blood donors and with that attitude we can be grateful for the kind of students here at Woodlan High School. Food Donations: Spirit for the unfortunate was shown by the Student Council ' s food and money drive in December. All the first period classes were competing against each oth- er on certain days of the week to see who could accumulate the best quantities. To add a little incentive, doughnuts and juice were offered to the class that accom- plished the most. Mr. Holt ' s German class that won, enjoyed their doughnuts to the fullest. The overall count was 950 cans of food and a collection of $1,500. Thanks to the entire school for their participation and spirit for the unfortunate. A nervous senior. Violet Brown, waits for the blood bag to fill so she can go pig out on the snacks. Concert Choir. Front row: Aimee Gaston, Tif- fany Bergman, Dawn Knepp, Cfierie Ze- hendner.

That seemed to sum up this year ' s swing choir, moving out into new directions. To most of the students and teachers, New Directions ' 85 was one of the best swing choirs Woodlan has ever had. Under the direction of Miss Pat Deihl, the group strived for and achieved the goal of entertaining and often touching song-and-dance performances. Not only did the swing choir reach new directions, but the concert choir and the jr. high choirs also reached out to achieve their goals of excellence in performances. Through performing at the spring con- certs and various street fairs, all three choirs realized their potentials and strived to develop them through long hours of hard practice. The rewards of their per- formances, confidence as well as applause and the crowds ' enjoyment, may not have seemed important to others but to them it meant more than anything. The hard work has paid off for juniors Gordon Miller and Kevin Hieber and for senior Brian Gerig. Choir 19 Spring Fever — Catch it! This year was no different than any oth- er. When the week of spring break came, practically everyone headed to the hot spots, mainly Florida. Sophomore Amy Bowers commented, The things I en- joyed about Florida were laying out in the sun and coming home because I had a lot of things to come home to. Senior Kim Wells also commented, I enjoyed the blonde lifeguards and the sunsets were great to watch while walking on the beach. Those who had to stay home spent most of their time either working, dreaming about those having fun in the sun, or burn- ing the postcards sent from friends. Soph- omore Tracy Anderson commented, Even though I stayed home, I had fun reading postcards from friends in Florida and cruising the big town of Woodburn! Many people tried to get over their de- pression of staying home by going to var- ious tanning booths, but they never achieved the savage tan! When the lucky ones returned, the rest of their year was spent daydreaming about their long-lost tropical paradises. All i spring break was fun for everyone Sophomores Dru Delagrange, Amy Bowers, and Kristen Hermann show off their newly-bronzed bodies while in Florida.

Trying to get attention, senior Amy Anderson says. Hey guys, look at me! Spring Fever ' 21 The Wonderful World of Woodlan Spirit week was successful and fun, said sophomore Schely Gerbers. The par- ticipation was great with the students and faculty members showing their spirit throughout the week for the Homecoming football game against the conference rival Leo Lions. The spirit was rising on Monday, War- rior day, with all the Warriors walking around in blue and white. Any kind of clothing that was blue and white was showing — for instance, belts, socks, shoes, and sweaters. The faculty mem- bers also helped out with Mrs. Willinger showing her support for the mighty War- rior football team. Tuesday was nerd day. People in all kinds of get-ups were getting into being nerds. Two especially phenomenal nerds were sophomores Mindy McCracken and Tim Gerig. From Mindy ' s loud outfit to Tim ' s posture and voice, the name nerd fit well. WPTA-TV came out and taped the nerds as they ate in the cafeteria. Mr. Myers was also an exceptional nerd, with his greased back hair, glasses and messy hankerchief. Wednesday was safari day, when ev- eryone turned into a combat zone or a live jungle with the students dressed in camou- flage and army wear. Mr. Hetrick and Miss Deihl showed their participation with branches sticking out of their hats. Senior Mitzi Martin and her wooden gun and sophomore Staci Dyer and her camou- flage shoes helped the spirit rise to the top. The Powder Puff games were to be played later that night. The senior girls proved their domination over the under- classmen by beating the juniors in the first game and the freshmen in the second game. Thursday was Hawaiian day with War- riors dancing around in bright colored ap- parel, erupting with pride and spirit. Sen- ior Kyla Bearman and her Hawaiian shorts and various types of grass skirts were part of the day. Friday was dress-up day. The Warriors were in dresses, high heels, suits and cor- sages. The big game was that night and everybody was dressed to kill During halftime, the underclassmen paraded floats for their representatives. The last float carried the Homecoming King and Queen candidates. Seniors Sherry Hoover and Scott Berning were crowned Home- coming Queen and King by last year ' s title holders. After the game, the Student Council put on a dance, which engulfed everyone in fog, which made the dance the most exciting one Woodlan had ever had. The Queen ' s court cc-uSists of wr lors I ' UvIn W,2lls and Kim Wells, last year ' s king and queen, Steve Strasser and Kris Logan, seniors, Steve Vogtman, Kelli Girardot, Chad hiissong. and Queen Sheny J-ioovsr The senior class float is holding Alice Stiebeling, Brian Gerig.

For seniors Kevin Yoder and Alyce Stiebeling. it ' s ' just ' them on the dance floor. Just You and I Approaching the doors you were assaulted with an overwhelming desire to turn around and run. But, fighting those feelings you went in the wide double doors with the formally dressed crowd of students that stood waiting. Then, all your reservations about the even- ing fell away as the band. Headwind, began to play and students began dancing, talking, and eating. Just You and I. the theme of the 1985 junior-senior prom, seemed to fit the night just right as the band played for dancing cou- ples and as groups of students gathered around tables to talk about the evening and their formals. Among the many happenings. Judy Web- ster was crowned queen and Chris Fisher was crowned king, many awards were given to individual seniors, and the band played any- thing from rock to square dances. As 11:30 drew near, couples could be seen leaving for the lake or a friend ' s house for breakfast. Making Dreams Come True Senior class vice-president Steve Vogtman gives the opening speech at the podiurri adorned with the counted cross stitch hanging that fellow senior Anne Wietfeldt had made while assistant principal Mr. Greathouse looks On May 21, 1985. the senior class made last-minute preparations in the cafe- teria, adjusting caps and fixing gowns and flowers to make everything look just right. After going to school for so long, the graduates couldn ' t believe this was it. and after all the d iplomas were handed out and tassels were turned from right to left, the graduates reached the moment they all had been waiting for. As the senior class walked out to Pomp and Circum- stance, they were walking out to a new and better life that was just beginning for them. Jeff Martin, Randy Hockemeyer, Tim Cleuenger, Doug Spietfi, and Barry Richhart celebrate finally having made it. Debbie Botteron reminisces with a group of friends about old times. Thinking of what you ' re going to do after the ceremony? Alyce Stiebeling and Kevin Yoder can tell us for sure. Kevin Heckley watches warily as Brenda Baughman pins his flower on while Kirk McKinley coaches from the sidelines. Brad Geistwhite exclaims, Beam me up, Scottie! Brooks Biggs, the leader of the Klingons, is coming! Graduation 27 Thank you! Thank you! Honors given at Woodlan Junior-Senior High are well respected and deserved. The big night for high school students was a big one to remember, especially for the valedictorian David Stieglitz who took sev- eral awards home. The salutatorian for 1985 was Alyce Stiebeling. The athletic blanket winners were Amy Anderson. Lynn Meinerding, Luann Pusey, Joni Smith, and Doug Bentrager who also re- ceived a $200 scholarship from the Boost- er Club. The mental attitude awards went to Matt Schelker, Joni Smith and Sherry Hoover. The big night for junior high students took place during the school day. Awards for athletic participation and special aca- demic awards were given. These awards also encouraged those junior high students to do their best during these years. Wood- lan takes pride in its students and award- ed them for their accomplishments. Senior valedictorian David Stieglitz receives one of his many awards. Junior high students receive their recognition from Mr. Pond, guidance counselor. Senior girls Amy Anderson, Lynn Meinerding, Luann Pusey and Joni Smith receiue their athletic blankets for their four-year dedication. Senior Doug Bontrager receives a $200 scholarship from Booster Club represen- tative Ron Girardot Honors 29 Sound of Music Junior Janet McKinley instructs the band to hit the perfect note. Drum rolls at pep sessions, the school song, and the National Anthem at games — Woodlan ' s band is always sup- porting our school. In June and August, Woodlan ' s band practiced five days a week from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Also, during the summer they marched in Woodburn Days, Harlan Days, Grabill Country Fair, and Bluffton Street Fair to show their pride for the com- munity. When school began, the band started competing. One big competition was the regional competition in which they partici- pated. This is the farthest Woodlan ' s band has ever gone. As Mr. Snider said, We have a long way to go but we ' ve come a very great distance, too. They were rat- ed on music as well as marching tech- niques. Woodlan felt proud to have the band go so far. Along with competition, practices, and games, they raised money by selling ap- proximately one thousand candy bars. The money was used to replace uniforms, flags, and other equipment. One senior band member found band to be quite a challenge during the school year. The senior commented by saying, Mr. Snider was a Bobby Knight, but for band! As for being Bobby Knight, Mr. Snider instructed band members to hit high and low notes to make the sound of Carr..r-,ui ' , .:. ; Rector, ..ic-r ■ . ; Selton. Row 4: Tin. 0. M.!.baum.

Band 31 Drama Revival Draws Sellout Crowds The 1984-85 year brought many things back to Woodlan High School, but the most memorable was the reviving of the drama department. This revival was ac- credited to guest director John Elmore, chorus director Pat Deihl, orchestra direc- tor Thom Snider, choreographer Debbie Roth, and costume coordinator Carol Nel- son. Woodlan had lacked a drama depart- ment for many years, so this revival had been anxiously anticipated, and the musi- cal chosen was enjoyed by all. OKLAHO- MA! Many long hours of time were put into preparing the musical for opening night, but all the extra hours of rehearsing paid off. The hours were long and hard and we didn ' t have enough free time, com- mented sophomore Kym Campbell, but since the play worked out, it was all worth it. Besides the actors and dancers that performed on stage, the orchestra and various crews were also very important and helped make the play successful. For many weeks and long hours, about 100 students and faculty devoted all their time and energy to make OKLAHOMA a com- plete success. From the beginning of the play everyone was waiting for the final day, stated junior Amy McClure, but now it is hard to believe it is over. Since OKLAHOMA drew sellout crowds and all of the school showed an interest in it, we can all look forward to another musical next year. Showing different reactions to the married life, junior Gordon Miller hangs his head in regret, and sophomore Kym Campbell shows her excitement, but Sarah Zehendner realizes the real mis- take. Practice makes perfect seems to be senior Steve Brinkman and sophomore Stan Gerig ' s motto as they work on their dance steps for the Dream Ballet. Eat j ' our heart out Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers! You have nothing on senior Brian Gerig and junior Carol Litmer as they ham it up for the audience. 32 Drama After convincing senior Brian Gerig to put his gun down, junior Gordon Miller trys to explain his predicament as senior Sarah Zehendner looks on in disgust.

All of a sudden the lights go out . . . the lighters start up . . . everyone cheers . . . the music begins and the Fort starts to rock. Many groups came in the ' 84- ' 85 year such as Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Billy Squier, Kiss, Triumph, and more! The teens of today have been more ex- posed to rock music not only through con- certs but also through MTV and Friday Nite Videos and through magazines like Hit Parader. Rock groups influence peo- ple by the way they dress and act. Some groups even influence teens to start their own band such as seniors Kirk and Kary McKinley ' s group Deadline. Many songs climbed the charts and new songs were released all year long by new groups and by older groups. For instance, Twisted Sister, a new group, sang We ' re Not Gonna Take It and Hall Oates, an older group, sang Out of Touch. Both songs reached the top 9 on 97 FM. The soundtrack from the movie Purple Rain by Prince hit it big on the charts too. Many people cranked up their radios when 104FM played Midnight Maniac by Krokus. Also, people jammed down to some Van Halen or Ratt when it came on the radio. Swaying back-n-forth to Lionel Richie or Journey ' s slow songs at dances seemed to be a good way to get to know someone. The dances were also a good way for breakers to show their stuff. To Chaka Khan ' s new release I Feel for You, breakers did their poppin ' and lockin ' . New groups were formed and old groups were renewed. Many of them hit it big in the ' 84- ' 85 school year. People have different tastes and it showed as the year went past. Rock and Soul seemed to be the ones that caught on the most. Rock-n- Roll has become a big entertainment in the ' 80s and as they say Rock-N-Roll will never die. so Woodlan rocks on. Sophomores Shannon Quickery. Jenny Gerardot and Sherri Harris play air guitar and dance to the rhythm at the homecoming dance. The D.J. played the latest hits as the night rolled by. Music 35 The Afterworld Your postgraduate plans are . . . ?

The Squads 39 News, Here and There cheerlKaders showed their spirit for Woodlan. Nurses, once again, took blood donations at Woodlan. The play OKLAHOMA! became a hit and new talent was displayed. One evening, you may have been watching television and suddenly seen a news flash. It could have been about your hometown or something clear across the world. The school year started off during the summer Olympics in Los Angeles. There were many gold medal winners such as Mary Lou Retton who was the first Ameri- can woman gymnast to win an individual gold medal. There were also some trage- dies; for instance. Mary Decker fell during her 3,000 meter run. Elections were held and Ronald Reagan once again took the majority of votes to be the U.S. President. His opponent was Walter Mondale who only carried one state. He chose the first woman to run for vice-president, Geraldine Ferraro. In addi- tion, the first black male to campaign for President was Jesse Jackson. This seemed to be the year for people to try new things. Here at Woodlan, five guys, juniors Jeff Bockelman, Jim Doctor, Dan Krinn, Joe Heersche, and Craig Rie- bersal, tried cheering with the girl cheer- leaders which was a change. There were quite a few firsts for the medical world. This year Baby Fac re- ceived a baboon ' s heart but did not live. Also, a man named Schroeder from south- ern Indiana received an artificial heart and has lived longer than any previous recipi- ent. In England, Princess Diana had her sec- ond prince, Henry Charles Albert David. He is also called Harry. Keeping prince in mind, Prince and the Revolution took up many awards at the music awards. Along with Prince, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Richie, and Bruce Spring- steen swept away several awards. Something most memorable during the school year was the starvation in Ethiopia. A group of musicians got together and called themselves Band-Aid. Band-Aid sang a song called Do They Know It ' s Christmas and recorded it. This helped to bring in money for the starving. Once again later in the school year, another group of musicians formed to call them- selves U.S.A. for Africa. They sang the song We Are the World which became a big hit. It raised a lot of money and attention towards Ethiopia. Mr. Clevenger permitted the wearing of shorts for the first time at Woodlan. Wood- lan and the world went through many changes as the school year flew by and the news flashes kept coming. Balloons seemed to be a big fad for birthdays in the school year which senior Bruce Werling shows. Sophomores Amy Yoder and Amy Bowers, senior Joni Smith and sophomore Diana Malmstrom com- plied with the shorts issue that was passed. The closing of the Woodburn library was a possibility but petitions and people power kept it open It ' s thumbs up with seniors Cathy Goeglein and Anne Wietfeldt, NERD spells senior Brian Gerig as he participates in Homecoming festivities. apooses ' 12 Papooses Bosom Buddies As the days of school passed slowly on by, friendships flourished. The five min- utes between classes were spent telling jokes, talking about tests, and, the most important, making plans for the weekend. During lunch periods, groups of friends could be heard discussing everything from Animal Farm to that cute dude working at the mall. Having all my friends around really helped school go faster, remarked sev- enth grader Jennifer Goodin. What is a friend? A single soul dwell- ing in two bodies (Aristotle). Without friends 1 couldn ' t survive the weekends! exclaimed eighth grader Julie Yoder. True friendship is being able to use each other ' s toothbrushes, being able to share secrets, and being able to accept each other ' s faults, explained the dou- ble-trouble seniors Rachelle Pettyjohn and Amy Anderson. All in all everyone agreed that friends make the world go around. Z ' . I Tlie spirit ' s up as any Warrior will let you know. Papooses 43 The Real World Awaits Fellow Seniors, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. The class of 1985 has left a definite mark on Woodlan High School, and as his first year as principal here at WHS, Mr. Cle- venger comments on just why the marks were left: Many individuals in the class of Andrea Adreon — Card Club 1.2 Ron Adreon Jerry Ahlersmeyer—BaskelbaW mgr. 1; Baseball 1; Football mgr 1,2; German Club 1.2,3,4; German Club pres. 3; Newspaper staff 3,4; Prom Committee 3; Quill and Scroll 3,4; Ski Club 1,2,3; Pow Wow sports ed. 4 Rich Allen — Auto Mechanics Club 2; Card Club 1,2; Football 1.2,3,4; Photography 1,2; Track 1; Wrestling 1,2 Amy Anderson — Basketball 1,2,3,4; Fellowship of Christian Athletes 1,2; Spirit Club 2; Spanish Club 2; Track 1.2,3,4; Volleyball 1,2.3,4; Yearbook staff 4 Michelle Anderson — Card Club 2; German Club 3; Ski Club 3; Mat Maid Club 1; Intramurals 1,2 Todd Baringer— Baseball 1,2,3; Card Club 1,2; Football 1,2,3.4; Golf 1.2.3.4; Intramurals 1.2 Todd Bauer Brenda Baug iman — FHA 1,2; Spanish Club i, Volleyball 1 Kyla Bearman Ray Bender— Computer Club 4; Cross Country 3,4; FCA 2.3,4; FFA 3.4; Marantha Fellowship 4; Track 2 Brad Bennett — Dungeons and Dragons Club 1; FFA 1; German Club 2.3.4; Ski Club 2.3.4; Volleyball 2,3,4 Scoft i5 ' r7;w,7— Baseball 1,2,3,4; FCA 1,2,3; Football 1 J, -i,4; Prcm Committee 3; Intramurals 1.2 Kurt Berz Brooks Biggs Andy Blakiey Band 1,2.3, , Coird Club 1.2; Delegate Hoosier Boys State: Football 1,2,3,4; Future Problem Solving Club 3,4; German Club l,2,,i,4. National Honor Society 3.4; Prom Committee 3; Track 2,3 1985 have brought pride and honor to Woodlan through academics, athletics, music, FFA, publications and many other areas at the local, state and national lev- els. Perhaps the most important charac- teristic of the class of 1985 is that, as a group, these young people really care about others. It seems the rule is to accept responsibility and act accordingly. I am sure these young people will meet with great success and happiness in the fu- ture. The times through high school can never be forgotten, but for the class of 1985 the real world now awaits.

Perhaps the leading factor in creating such an unforgettable school year was principal Richard Clevenger. Although it was not meant to last, Mr. Clevenger made several lasting impressions on his ' family ' of 750. One of Mr. C ' s most hilarious moments in the ' 85 year was after the first two weeks of school I told my fellow administrators in the area, that Woodlan students were special. They laughed at me. But after the FFA, band, drill squad, test scores, sectional victories, Oklahoma, state championship, mental attitude awards, homecoming, dances, graduation ceremony, pep sessions, future problem solvers, publications and all the other things where Wood- lan students always seemed to be at the top, they wanted to know what our secret was. It was my turn to laugh. I explained it was not a system or process; it takes people, special people. They have it or they don ' t, Woodlan students have it! The year was not a problem-free one. What seemed to be an issue of wearing shorts to school turned into a much bigger issue of responsibility. When handled by Mr. C it turned into a rewarding experience for both the students and faculty. The student body proved to the staff and community they could accept responsibility for accomplishing a goal if given the opportunity. I have always believed that young people can accomplish anything they set their minds to and do it in a mature, responsible manner. As I told the students, wearing shorts was not the issue, but wanting something, then going through the proper channels and procedures to accom- plish the goal while at the same time being accountable to all expectations was the real issue! I am proud of each and every one of them for what they have accomplished. The most frustrating moment of the year for Mr. C was making the decision to leave seven hundred and fifty young people I have grown to love and respect. Leaving Warrior Country has to be the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. He came to earn our love and respect and will be missed by all. As for his parting message: 1 will miss each and every one of you. My life is richer because you allowed me to be a small part of your lives. 1 will always remember those who provided me with the best year of my life. May God bless you and watch over you forever. All my love. Mr. ' C Kevin Heckley, Devron Conroy, and Steve Nott enjoy the salad bar at lunch- Linda Bowers. Lori Funk.

Their day began in the dark. They got up, showered, dressed, and ate automati- cally, sometimes forgetting to, unless someone reminded them. For some, a long yellow vehicle arrived at their door to whisk them away to the institution where they would spend a third of their day. Others would arrive at the institution in their own vehicles, cold and tired. Looking at the institution, not daring to think about what laid inside, would fill their hearts with a dreaded sense of yet Not Pictured: John Hemmelgarn Kevin Hoeppner Michelle Khan Brandy Ledbetter Siiavjn Miller Steve Sisson Kay Stoller another year in . . .

The new kids along with the old, banded together to form new and lasting friendships. When asked what their most memora- ble moment was, many replied that being able to participate in class tourney, pow- der puff, and spirit week was a lot of fun.

Remember the first day at Woodlan? Running around — they tried to find the classes through the crowd of new faces. After the first couple of classes, the new- comers moved into a big lunchroom, if they could find it. In addition to the new classes, there were all those new sports to choose from. They also had band classes or choir to get involved with which are bigger than the elementary ' s band or choir. When asked what she liked about Woodlan, seventh grader Holly Gaston commented, Meeting new people! and her friend, seventh grader Candy Carpen- ter laughed and said, and the new guys! Besides guys, they also enjoyed the differ- ent classes, teachers, and lunches.

Moving Up the Academic Ladder When walking through the jr. high side of the school, one could hear comments such as This is a bogus class! or This class sure is a gagger! Jr. high students found a new sort of responsibility when they came to Woodlan. They found many required classes such as English, social studies, and science. In English class, jr. highers learned the parts of speech and literature. Mr. Sherron taught his social studies class about foreign lands and their inhabitants. Mr. Amstutz taught his sci- ence classes the basics of the solar system and of chemistry. His students also en- joyed collecting specimens for their peren- nial bug collections. Students that came to Woodlan for the first time also found a new twist about school: elective classes. They had a choice between ag arts and home ec. They realized they had found a new beginning.

I forgot my lines Have you ever had to give a speech or talk in front of a group of people? And sometimes you get so nervous that your mind goes blank and you forget your lines. Well, speech and mass media class helped students get over butterflies and sweaty palms. Students that took speech class and mass media were taught how to walk, stand and speak clearly and effectively. In mass media the students took a trip to the 21 Alive Newsroom to see how the news- room was operated. Senior Nicki McCain told about her experience: I found that 1 loved the atmosphere of a television studio and that I wanted to go into television as a career. Maybe I ' ll be a weather girl. These two classes were set up to help students talk in front of an audience in any situation. Other students took journalism class, where they were taught how to write for the newspaper or yearbook. Senior Michelle Hamm, who was the editor of the newspaper, thought Writing for the newspaper is a lot of responsibility and effort. Not everyone has the talent to do the job well. Each student became a reporter to get the first hand news. A lot of thinking went into a story, because anyone who reads the story years later must be able to remember the event like it was only yesterday. Even though speaking in front of an audi- ence and writing stories was hard work, it could be a lot of fun. As sophomore Diana Malmstrom explained, Writing for the year- book is an interesting experience, and you get to know different people in different classes. And you learn more about sports and extra school activities.

Mr. Meyer is a very good teacher and because of his un- derstandability, I really enjoyed chemistry, said sophomore Amy Yoder. Sophomore Dru Delagrange said, It ' s a blast most of the time, but it ' s also a lot of work, about advanced biology. Lab Students Learn Fine Details Gross! You pick it up! What was that equation? How many miles was that planet from the sun? These were just a few things that could ' ve been heard in a few of the lab classes offered this year. There were 7 lab classes given this year under 5 teachers. Mr. Herb Meyer taught chemistry, ad- vanced chemistry, and physics; Mr. Don Myers taught biology and advanced biol- ogy; Mr. Max Amstutz taught eighth grade science; and Mr. Ron Hefty and Mr. Mark Hetrick taught general science. This year brought about a big change in chemistry with the leaving of Mr. Tom Ad- ams and the arrival of Mr. Herb Meyer. Some of the things learned in chemistry this year were balancing equations and titration. In advanced biology students learned what ' s really on the inside of such creatures as a squid and shark. Throughout the entire year, lab class students learned that there was more to science than chemicals and DNA mole- cules. engacher and Karen Kneubuhler work i another frog.

Waiting patiently for his program, junior Steve Sisson hopes for a problem-free program. Computers are proving to be a vital role in the careers of the future. High schools all around the country began to change with the times and Woodlan High School was no different. Woodlan ' s computer de- partment had been in operation for three years and suddenly kicked into full swing. The computer classes varied from In- troduction to Computers to Advanced Computer Programming. The classes were difficult, commented sophomore Tiffany Bergman, but you learned a lot and Mr. Ray made the classes fun. The students worked with programs out of their book and programs which they had to design themselves. Sometimes the programs were hard and there were mistakes that you couldn ' t figure out, stated sophomore Aimec Gaston, but if you thought about your mistakes it was a lot easier to understand. Woodlan High School also received a new computer system which is the most advanced system so far and made the computer learning easier. So in the future you can look for many more computer classes here at Woodlan. Thinking of things yet to come, senior Shannon Parisot waits patiently for his program to be completed. Students in Germany take time out for a picnic near the river. It ' s A Small World . . . Students learn German by hearing themselves repeating the ujords To be able to speak and understand a foreign language is easy for some, and difficult for oth- ers. Students that took either Spanish or German, learned about the language, lifestyles and the culture of these people. As sophomore Schely Gerbers explains, 1 learned the German lan- guage is different from the English language, but their customs are like ours. Some of the foreign exchange students took on another language besides English. It ' s sort of hard, because 1 have to think of the word in English then in German then back to Swedish! It takes me longer to know a word but I like it, explained senior Ann Lindberg. All students must take English for three years out of the four. These students are taught the basics of word placement and the proper use of speech. Mrs. Etzler teaches the fundamental basics of sophomore English, Mrs, Pickle ' s Spanish class studies hard for a final speaking exam. Students that went overseas to Germany learned the different tastes of wines. Mrs. Wilson shows senior Ulrike Gagelmann how to read a pattern. TODAY ' S HOMEMAKERS Today ' s homemakers are the stu- dents of Woodlan learning to be the future homemakers of tomorrow. The students taking home econom- ics are learning how to cook and sew. These basic skills will come in handy as a job or an everyday chore they will be doing when it comes to moving out on their own. The stu- dents are finding out it ' s not as easy as Mom makes it look but it is fun to do something on their own. 94 Home Economics Senior Kim Hagan works hard to finish a dress.

A special breed that can go through six periods a day of test taking, note taking, and assignment doing yet still manage to end the day smiling and laugh- ing. Some people don ' t realize how special we students really are. We handle the pressures of school while laughing at our best friends ' jokes and even helping a friend with a difficult assignment. We students learn much more than how to compose a business letter, how to say the alphabet in German and Spanish, how to figure out difficult formulas, and how to conjugate a verb. We learn how to juggle a school load with sports or a part-time job, the importance of being with people and making lasting friendships, to make the effort to get along with teachers that are not very well liked, and the patience of sitting through six classes and learning something. Yes, we students are a very special breed.

With the aid of several teachers such as Mr. Max Egley, Mr. Dean Lehrman, Mr. Ed DeLong, Mr. Howard Baulkey, and Mr. Herb Meyer, students learned formu- las, angles, and square roots. Mr. Herb Meyer, physics and seventh grade math teacher, explained that math is a tool to be used in science and every- day life. Math is like walking. You can live with- out it, but it sure makes life better when you know how to do it. confessed Mr. Ed DeLong. All in all, students learned that there is much more to math than addition and sub- traction. ■-Ui Malh Classes Freshman Steve Halsey and Mr. Etzler enjoy a private joke during algebra class.

Legends The Fun of Clubs Although most clubs had been dropped this year due to a cutback in the time allowed for clubs to meet, students still signed up and participated in the remain- ing clubs. The clubs spent most of their time planning for future events, sponsor- ing fund raisers, listening to speakers, and just plain old having fun! My favorite club was German. Th ere was always a lot to do and the activities were fun, explained Becky Cook. Junior Amber Owens liked FFA best because you learn a lot and you get to meet a lot of guys! Some clubs served, and some clubs had fun while creating situations where indi- vidual wits were tested. Respect, recogni- tion, commendation, and fun — goals for all of us — were just a few of the clubs ' accomplishments. During German club, sophomore Tom Bergman demonstrates the latest breakin ' moves as everyone gives it a try. Legends 101 Front row, kneeling: Seiors Paul Schlegel and Brian Gerig.

Commenting on the year and feelings about Stu- dent Council are the following: Freshman Monica Ehrhardt: It ' s been fun and a good experience to help the people in our community. Sophomore Stan Gerig: It ' s an ' Awesome ' orga- nization! Junior Stephanie Miller: Student Council can be a lot of work, but being able to see the results is worth it. Senior Kevin Yoder: Being a part of an organi- zation that has many responsibilities is great, be- cause we are the ones that made the school year go smooth and fun. Concerned for the well being of the elders in the outside world is senior Alice Stiebeling doing her duty. ■udent Council 102 The Head of Our Cify What does Student Council mean and what do they do? Well, that is a question wondered for ages and from what the Stu- dent Council members say, they are a well chosen group of citizens from this city of Woodlan. They come together every seminar period in Mr. Pierson ' s room to converse on several ideas for making mon- ey to help our humble city grow and be- come more modern. To help citizens of WHS become more acquainted with one another, the Student Council brings us entertainment such as dances to benefit our society and our growing population. With this the Student Council also contributes to the outsider with entertainment for the elders and food drives for the less fortunate. The Student Council has a considerable amount of con- cern for the world that evolves around our Woodlan City and tries to assist others when needed. The Student Council plans and pro- motes the following: having a large Christ- mas tree strung with lights in the middle of the courtyard, making senior events more memorable and having more than one dol- lar in the hole for next year. Their hard work and dedication are extremely appre- ciated by all the citizens of Richard Cle- venger ' s City of Woodlan. Front row: Matt Nietert. Brad Ahlersmeyer. Rob Bennett. Jennifer Goodin.

The junior class raised money by working hard selling magazines and by sponsoring a dance. Mr. Keith Pierson sponsored the group and selected the Ramada Inn as the location for the prom. Christy Meek was selected over-all chairperson, while Camellia Clark, Steph Baker, Cheryl Nicole, Tracy Yerks, Judi Webster, and Michele Am- stutz all headed sub-committees. ' Prom Committee March 25 was a special day for nine- teen juniors and seniors at Woodlan. The nineteen students were informed that their hard work and dedication had earned them membership in the Woodlan High School Honor Society. The primary purpose of the organiza- tion is to honor those juniors and seniors whose grades were consistently above average. On April 29 at 6:30, the Lions Club Honor Society Banquet was held in honor of those well-deserving students.

Clubs for Future Use down at the annual Rose One of the many active clubs was the Future Honnemakers of America. It emphasized leadership and responsibility. This club enabled students to sec the domestic side of life. FHA held many activities throughout the year. Of these, Fresh- man Initiation started the year off. When the freshmen passed initiation, they became members of FHA. A little later in the year, the girls put on Daddy Date Night. This evening was special because the girls formally asked their dads to a dinner and square dancing. In April they held their annual Easter Egg Hunt. The most elegant of all was the Rose Banquet. In preparation for this year ' s Rose Banquet, the girls made picture frames for their mothers. The FHA State conference in Indianapolis was a very rewarding experience for many of the members who attended. Junior Kim Farmer said, It was a good experience for individuality. To mark the end of the year, the FHA members acted as tour guides on their annual kindergarten tours. The FHA had some very exciting and rewarding activities throughout the year. Another active club was the Future Farmers of America. This organization helped students to recognize the values of agricul- ture. Woodlan ' s chapter of FFA was involved in many activities. Several members won first place in proficiency awards. These students were: senior Shane Mumma — agriculture mechanics; senior David Stieglitz — agriculture processing; senior Mike Fuell- ing — agriculture sales and or service; senior Andy Kurtz — fruit and or vegetable production; senior Kyla Bearman — horse profi- ciency and outdoor recreation; senior Brent Singer — placement in agriculture production; senior Mike Burchardt — poultry produc- tion; senior Mark Smith — soil and water management; senior Shayne Ulmer — specialty animal production; senior Mark Bradt- mueller — wildlife management. The following won first place awards for different categories of leadership: junior Kevin Hieber and senior Mark Bradtmueller — exhibit; senior Mike Fuelling — sales demonstration and leader- ship; junior Tim Scheiderer — mechanics demonstration; senior Mark Smith — improving agriculture and leadership. Seniors Randy Bruns. Mike Burchardt, Brent Singer, and sopho- more Jeremy Grubaugh went on to the national level of competi- tion in milk quality and dairy foods. Also on the national level, juniors Matt Rekeweg, Curt Hadley, Dave Voors and Tim Schei- derer competed in the poultry judging.

Learn Another World, Learn Another Language Adios! Hasta Luego! Bis spater! Aufwiedersehen! These are some of the words spoken by members of the German and Spanish clubs as they leave on their various trips. Both of these clubs require a lot of work to understand and speak their new language and are involved in a wide variety of activities throughout the year. Excited to get a Spanish club started this year, many students were rarin ' to go because of the lack of one last year. Dur- ing the holiday season the Spanish club had a Christmas banquet in which all of the members brought in their favorite Mexican dishes. A play was read and car- ols were also sung, in Spanish of course. In the spring the club enjoyed a game of vol- leyball after school. Throughout the year the club worked concessions and raised enough money to buy a new stereo for classroom activities. One of the things members of all clubs enjoy is going out to eat. This year the Spanish club went to Bandidos to get a taste of authentic Mexi- can food. Members of the German club travelled to Germany this past summer. East and West Berlin, Austria, and Switzerland were only a few of the stops made on their three-week journey. Senior Amy Getting commented, It was definitely an exper- ience to remember because it was a differ- ent ' world. ' They also travelled to Swiss Valley for a little bit of skiing. In November the club held their annual Octoberfest. They sold raffle tickets for fudge, cider and other prizes from Frankenmuth. They also had a band playing the newest variety in polka dance. In the spring the club sold imported Gummi Bears and Toblerones to make money for the German Banquet which was held at Goeglein ' s Barn. Spanish Club.

One thing that caught all Future Prob- lem Solvers ' attention to become involved was the first problem: drunk driving. All members had to do much research on ev- ery problem, but research on drunk driv- ing proved to be shocking and interesting information. (On any given weekend night. 6 out of 10 drivers are under the influence!) The second problem was nuclear war. Most of the kids were definitely against nuclear war and thought of literally any- thing to prevent it. Sophomore John Knoblauch commented, I think that may- be someday Future Problem Solving might reduce the risk of nuclear war. The third and final problem was educa- tion. The members got a good opportunity here to talk to Mr. C and also Dr. Ben- way, superintendent of East Allen County Schools, on any topic they wished. They asked questions about the education sys- tem and the various rules of the school. Several teams and individuals excelled in certain topics. Sophomore David Bled- soe won first in the state for his scenario writing on the topic of nuclear war. When asked about Future Problem Solving, sophomore Sheila Schurg commented, It was fun. I learned a lot, but it took quite a bit of hard work and time. All in all, it was a good year for Future Problem Solvers. Becky Niccum. leader of the speech team, flashes the camera a foxy smile. Speech! No Speech?! This year ' s speech team started off with quite a few people attending the meet- ings, which were held during seminar peri- od. As the meetings went on, fewer and fewer members showed up, until finally they were left with only five members plus their leader, Becky Niccum. The speech team lasted for only one semester; then it had to break up and fade out. During that one semester the team went to one meet, which was held at Blackford, and brought home a sixth place trophy in the sweepstakes. Becky Niccum commented, 1 think that a speech team teaches self-discipline and competition, both just as much as any sport and it should be given equal recognition. 1 hope next year one of the teachers might take the speech team, have more response, and a better year. Even though the speech team wasn ' t together very long, they had a good time working together and got to know each other a little better. Speech team front row: Steve Calhoun, Jill Newhard.

The roar of the crowd, the tension in the air, the squeak of tennis shoes on a wooden floor, and the thud of a football meeting solid flesh . . . the atmo- sphere was set. Let the games begin. Although some may say that sports are overemphasized in high schools, most peo- ple don ' t realize the skill and determina- tion that creates athletes. It may look easy when an athlete throws a discus or makes a freethrow, but, as any athlete will point out, what the public sees is the finished product. They don ' t see the long, hard hours of practice, the many bruises, cuts, and dislo- cated limbs. They don ' t see the sore mus- cles or the pulled ligaments. Along with the highs there are lows, yet the athletes still shine through. BOTTOM ' S UP! Gee, it ' s nice to get support from the football tean The Warpath 1 13 On your mark . . . Get set . . . Go! And they were off representing the boys cross- country team. Setting and striding for goals, such as improving their times or earning letters. The boys team consisted of nine runners who kept their pride and enthusiasm despite their record. They worked through hard practices and gave their best effort at the meets. Once a week the boys would go to Schoaff Park and practice on the steep hills to strengthen their ability to run more easily up the hills. By passing other runners on the hills, they proved it to be a worthwhile effort. The boys ran through rainy meets but stayed strong and in the long run didn ' t let the weather bring them down. The spirit they expressed towards the team and the sport made them all winners. As sopho- more Gary Sefton said, I wanted to lower my time and give my best effort. The girls cross-country team started the season with five seniors, six sophomores, and four freshmen. The course was lengthened, the prac- tices became harder, yet they still ended the season with an 8-1 record. In addition, the team placed second in ACAC and sev- enth in sectionals. Two runners, senior Sherry Hoover and freshman Jamie Gor- rell, advanced on to regionals. Sherry took a first, Jamie followed with a second, and they advanced to state. Keeping up with the head of the pack. Sherry received a third and Jamie reached her goal by plac- ing ninth in state. In addition to Sherry ' s achievement of placing third at state, she received the Girls Mental Attitude Award. This award is given to a senior cross-coun- try state runner. Despite many of the rainy meets, like the dual meet with Norwell and the Heri- tage Conditioner, they came out soaking wet but, winners. The team worked hard, but had a lot of fun and ended the season with many re- wards. h M_ Girls team waits in tlie rain for the start of tine Norwell meet. 1st row: Carol Van Horn, Cissy Ely, Diana Malmstrom, Kristie Kummer, Kris Hoover, Shannon Myers Gorrell, Cherie Zehendner. 2nd row; mgrs.

But these two losses didn ' t stop the team ' s fighting spirit and determination to finish the season with a 6-4 record. The win- ning game against Churubusco (45-24) gave the Warriors the ACAC title. Five seniors, Todd Baringer, Scott Berning, Brad Geist- white, Phil James and junior Doug McNally were named All-Conference players. Derek Brown and Ron Hermann, seniors, received honorable mention. It ' s not just the players that make a team; it ' s the coaches, managers, and the fans. One special coach has been at Woodlan for 20 years, and he has had teams that went to state and others that haven ' t done so well. This coach is Coach Leland Etzler. The foot- ball teams hope to see him in the next 20 years as a coach. The reserve team finished the season with a 2-7 record.

The freshman football team showed their winning talent by having a record of 7-1. Coach Lehrman felt that the team really grew up over the course of the sea- son not only in physical skills but in their mental approach toward team concepts and self-sacrifice. Coach Lehrman com- mented by saying, It was a very reward- ing and successful season; however we have all set our goals a little higher for next year. And so they will! We are all looking forward to another successful win- ning season. The Jr. High had a very good season and are readying themselves for an even better one next year. 1 41 . 54481 82:|.Se 51 35 53 23 4rj, 84dr ' ' _ ,«tcr liJ?5iJ«C4fe:faf li?L. . r ll_Jb M% !

Another Successful Season of Victorious Volleys The Lady Warriors varsity volleyball team had a successful season with a win- ning record of 20-7. Their teamwork and effort allowed them to defeat state-ranked teams such as Norwell, New Haven and Harding. They achieved second in their first invitational by defeating Leo, South Side and New Haven and then were de- feated in the finals by state-ranked New Haven. The Lady Warriors fought their way through a roller coaster season and ended up tied with Heritage for second place in the ACAC conference. They also received second in the ACAC tourney by beating Leo and Churubusco and then were defeated by the state-ranked Nor- well Knights. Ready to take their first sectional, the Lady Warriors beat Snider with the Pan- thers having the home court advantage. Next they came up against the Northrop Bruins and were defeated. All in all, the Lady Warriors had a good season as some of the senior teammates commented. Amy Anderson said, We had a pretty good season, but we should have won sec- tionals. Joni Smith added, We had a successful season defeating teams that were ranked in the state, but being our last year it all ended too soon. Lynn Meinerd- ing replied, We had a good time and romped on a lot of tough teams. Mitzi Martin also commented by saying, We should have done better. Coach Monica Zelt had a positive opinion of the season. The team did real well. They had high hopes to further themselves, but the fact that they were out there trying is what counts. The reserve Lady Warriors also had a winning season with a record of 8-4. The reserve placed second in their ACAC tournament by defeating Leo 15-13, 15-5, but then lost to the Heritage Patriots 9-15, 13-15. Junior reserve spiker, Angie Gerig, commented on the season, I thought we did a good job and really tried to work as a team. Varsity. Front row: Amy Bowers. Dru Delagrange, Mitzi Martin.

A Successful Season The young Lady Warriors volleyball team, consisting of only two seventh grad- ers and 22 eighth graders, had a good overall season. The girls were coached by Natalie Thomas and former volleyball player Lori Smith. Looking towards next year, the eighth grade girls will be going to high school to try out, all 22 of them. With only two sev- enth graders to fill the spots of those leav- ing, the team is going to need some future eighth graders and a lot of se venth grad- ers to have a successful season again next year. ' Jr. High Volleyball Eighth graders Arlene Graber gets into position to bump the ball Boys Volleyball This year was a very disappointing year for the boys volleyball team. It was also disliked by Coach Martin. Not having the season was very, very unfair, because of how much work they have put in since their freshman year. Martin said. Even though they didn ' t have a season, they still went on practicing. They also competed against I.P.F.W. mens volleyball team and Harding.

Jr. High Volleyball,T25 Girls Basketball To Be Remembered Varsity: The 1984-85 girls varsity basketball team had a very exciting and successful season with a record of 18-5. Starting out with a loss in the first game to Dekalb did not get the Lady Warriors down. They rolled back with seven straight wins, in- cluding two conference wins against Ad- ams Central and Carroll. After a loss by one point to the Northrop Bruins, two more wins were accumulated. The first loss in their conference was to the Heri- tage Patriots by a score of 53-51. The next two games were conference games against Churubusco and Norwell and these added two more wins to the Lady Warriors ' record. It was ACAC tourney time and the Lady Warriors made it to the finals defeat- ing Norwell 52-50 and Churubusco 71-47, but were beaten in the coliseum by the experienced Heritage Patriots by a score of 44-35. After a couple of grueling wins over Eastside and conference team South- ern Wells, the Lady Warriors ' record go- ing into sectionals was 15-4. The Lady Warriors beat the Hamilton Marines 64- 26 in the first round and advanced to semi- finals. The team then took on a familiar rival, the Leo Lions, to beat them by a score of 46-32. Going into the finals play- ing a scrappy Dekalb team, the Lady War- riors were rowdy and aggressive and beat the Dekalb Barons by four points 59-55. Capturing the first ever sectional title in Woodlan ' s basketball history the Lady Warriors were determined and ready for regional action. Going up against the Heritage Patriots for the third time, the Lady Warriors were fired up and on the warpath. But in over- time, the Lady Warriors lost a heartbreak- er by the score of 53-50. All in all, the Lady Warriors accomplished the one thing that Woodlan High School will always re- member; the first sectional championship Woodlan had ever seen in basketball. These quotes from the starters will help everyone remember the great feeling of a sectional title: Senior forward Amy Ander- son — It was neat because no one else ever won a basketball sectional before, and the team finally gets their picture on the gym wall. Senior forward Joni Smith — It was the greatest feeling I have ever felt. I ' ve waited four years for a memory like that and a piece of net. Sen- ior guard Luann Pusey — It was a great feeling and I could not believe we did it. Sophomore guard Kristen Hermann — I was relieved because we had finally got- ten what we wanted. Senior center Lynn Meinerding — It was a great win and we deserved it. Reserve: The reserve girls basketball team had a winning season of 12-6. After losing their first game of the season to Dekalb, the Lady Warriors went six straight before be- ing beaten by the New Haven Bulldogs by a close score of 26-24. The reserve tourney was played at Car- roll. The Lady Warriors lost their first game to the Heritage Patriots 38-29, and the second game was lost also to the Leo Lions by the score of 30-25. The reserve team then won the last four games to com- plete the season with a record of 12-6. Freshman Sharon Frecker was asked how she felt about the season and she replied, The team got working together as a real team at the end of the season. And that showed by the last four victories over Nor- well, Churubusco, Eastside and Southern Wells. Senior Amy Anderson takes one of her famous outside shots like Steve Alford.

Yet confidence and ability im- proved under the coaching of Mr. Konkle. Although it was Mr. Konkle ' s first year with the girls, improvement in teamwork were seen as well as individual improve- ments. All in all, the girls had some fun and learned a lot they can apply in future games. Freshman team: front row: Lori Smith. Penny Koch, Debbie Martin, Kristi Kummer, Robin Hocl emeyer.

A Family Team Following through on the last couple of years, crowd participation continued to be the sixth man at basketball games, cheering the teams on to victory and sup- porting them in defeat. Although crowd response was impor- tant, team work continued to be the most important factor in creating a winning sea- son. Team members supported each oth- er during victory and defeat in a family- like atmosphere. For players Rob Geistwhite and Greg Stieglitz, juniors, and senior Tim Cle- venger, the year was one of breaking and setting records in steals per season, blocked shots, top scores, assists, and top rebounds for season and careers. :;.0 Boys Basketball Sophomore Brell Motter proves there is a lot of body contact In basketball.

They lost their first game to Village Woods and came back to win 4 straight games. Coached by Mitch Armbruster, the sev- enth grade team had a 3-11 record.

Coach Lehrman advises senior Matt Schnelker during one of the winning baseball games.  . ' . Who ' s the Boss? Coaches, who needs them? They ' re not fair, they don ' t understand, and they don ' t know what they ' re talking about. Many athletes sometimes find themselves saying these types of statements, whether true or not. Coaches are the biggest asset in sports; they have huge responsibilities which are rarely recognized and appreci- ated. They are extremely important and are really needed by everyone. Where would these athletes be without coaches who dedicate their time to work with them? Where would sports be without the coaches ' organization? Coaches get little recognition and praise for their hard work and they de- serve the respect from their athletes. These athletes in turn do respect their coaches and try to make their jobs easier and more enjoyable even if it doesn ' t show all the time. They work hard and try to please their coaches by doing their best. That ' s all a coach can ask of an athlete and that ' s the most rewarding feeling for a coach. Look at that smiling face! That ' s just one of Mr. C ' s best features while coaching and preparing his special team of girl athletes. This section is dedicated to Leland Leroy Etzler and his 20 years as head coach of Woodlan ' s football team. Etzler ' s poorest season record was 5-5 and his best was going undefeated. Etzler ' s 20-season record is 157- 40-4. His dedication to this school and this football team goes above and beyond the call of duty and his methods have proven to be most successful. Congratulations are in order and the best of luck to Leland Etzler and his football teams in years to come. When these coaches were asked how they felt about coaching, they commented: Mr. C: Coaches provide a unique and special avenue for work- ing with young people in a positive and constructive manner. Mr. Lehrman: Athletics is a part of the educational process which should help prepare kids for life. All too often, coaches get caught up in ' winning ' or ' saving face, ' or their own program. If we truly are ' in the people profession, ' then we need to strive more to build character — to lead, guide, direct (and if necessary ALTER) the course of an individual life. After all, high school athletics should be for and about the kids — and not the coaches ' record nor re- cruiting rights nor bragging rights. Mr. Hetrick feels that a poem best explains his opinion and thoughts . . . Little eyes are watching There are little eyes upon you And they ' re watching night and day There are little ears that quickly Take in every word you say; There are little hands all eager To do anything you do; And a little boy who ' s dreaming Of the day he ' ll be like you. You ' re the little fellow ' s idol; ou ' re the wisest of the wise, In his little mind about you. No suspicions euer rise: He believes in you devoutly. Holds that all you say and do. He will say and do, in your way When he ' s grownup like you. There ' s a wide-eyed little fellow. Who believes you ' re always right. And his ears are always open. And he watches day and night; You are setting an example Every day in all you do. For the little boy who ' s waiting To grow up to be like you. Asst.

Roland Knepp. Concentrating on the coach ' s voice and words of advice while trying to get the job done is one tough task. When asked for examples of some situations and reactions that occurred while being assisted by the coach, these wrestlers replied by saying the following: Senior Tad Krumlauf: I got pinned do- ing the move the coach told me to do. Sophomore Mike Meyer: Once when I wrestled Heath Hostetler, 1 hurt him. The next time, he hurt me, so Mr. Miesle told us next time we wrestle, flip a coin. Sophomore Gregg Bruek: I heard the coach yelling at me but I couldn ' t remem- ber how to do the move. Coach Miesle: Rod Sieger was wres- tling and showed signs of an injury. I asked him if he needed to throw up but he said no, he just forgot to use the ' john ' . Hearing the coach ' s voice is something each athlete must train to listen to. In wrestling the coach ' s advice can be ex- tremely helpful in tight situations. These wrestlers work hard to please their coaches, teammates, and themselves; it has paid off with a 9-4 record and placing second in the A.C.A.C. Wrestling is a very demanding sport both physically and mentally. With a third of the team injured at one time or other during the season it was difficult for the team to do their best but they pulled to- gether, worked hard, and came out with a winning season. They were able to send one member to rcgionals, Gregg Brueck. who did an exceptional job but not good enough of one to make it to state. The effort, dedication and self-discipline these wrestlers have has put them where they are today — on top! Senior Derek Brown shows his opponent who ' s boss.

That Athletic Spirit As the baseball bats cracked and fly balls were caught without fail, baseball games dominated the spring scene. Bat- tling opponents as well as the elements made a handsome and interesting season. As always, defense and team communi- cation in the field were important factors stressed at practice and applied at games. All in all. the team showed immense talent and depth. Regardless of their record and by the skill and attitudes which were way above the norm, the team broke through with a vast amount of athletic spirit.

The record for the team was 4 wins and 7 losses, with wins over Hamilton, Garrett, Leo and Blackhawk Christian.

Yes, they do exist and are the cause of most of the commotion. They put in several hours of practice and work hard learning new ways and methods to put the crowds on the edges of their seats and keep them guessing — what ' s next? Most cheerleaders say that their dedica- tion, loyalty, and hard work pay off by the compliments from the spectators. They ' re the reason they are there, besides the team needing the crowd ' s support too. These Woodlan cheerleaders have lots of fun cheering for the teams and making the season a great one. Their cheers and moves will surely go down in history and will be respected and looked up to by the younger generations. This year during the basketball season the varsity cheerleaders added some new and original, first-time-at-WHS history. They added guys to the squad and had a great time experimenting on the newest pyramids and cheers. These guys consist- ing of juniors Craig Riebersal, Joe Heersche, Jeff Bockelman, Jim Doctor, and Dan Krinn had several barriers to break to be accepted at Woodlan and did an exceptional job. They added to the sce- nery, to the season, and came up with many surprises. Along with the guys, the cheerleaders also got a new adviser, Mrs. Eckert, who especially dedicated herself this year.

We can be thankful that we have a great place to return to — Woodlan and the community. All the mo- ments of success in sports and academics and memories of special friendships are tucked into every corner, every locker, every back road, and all those special little spots around Woodburn. So, here ' s a little cheer for you, you Woodlanites, just to recognize and award you for all those math problems you had to do, for putting up with and even getting to like that teacher you ' d heard so much about, for smiling and congratulating the other team when you lost that important game, and for being yourself when there may have been pressure on you to be like everyone else ... so, as the ducks would say . . .
