A STEP ABOVI V ARROW ' woodlan jr sr high school 17215 woodburn road woodburn, in 46797 ADen County Public library Ft. Wayne, Indjnnc It ' s summer! No more homework! These were just some of the phrases heard flying through the hall after the last bell rang on the last day of the 1984- ' 85 school year. On that day lockers were slamming, students were yelling, water was flying, papers were thrown away, stairways were crowded, and the parking lot was jammed. Woodlan was hectic but exciting that day, said Mr. Greathouse. The world was warned, the Warriors were out! After a survey and other checking around, the following were the places to be and things to do: 1. PARTY 2. take a break at the lake 3. go out and hit the town 4. date new people 5. terrorize your parents 6. visit Cedar Point Back In The Summer Of ' 85 7. socialize at Freiman Square on Sun- day ' s 8. cruise Shoaff Park 9. gather at Putt -Putt 10. spend money at the mall 11. visit your relatives at the zoo 12. play hard at the ball park 13. attempt to get a tan in the backyard These were just some of the things Warriors did during the summer. Some people actual- ly worked during the summer to earn money: seniors Michelle Amstutz, Christy Meek, Stephanie Jordan, Chris Farver, and Jeff Delagrange; juniors Michele Smith, Pam Martin, Stan Gerig, and Nick Lengacher; sophomores Kam Etzler, Kerry McNally, Scott Seelig, and Troy Smith; freshmen Stacy Koch, Janelle Yoder, Nick Klop- fenstein, and Larry Coomer. As junior Amy Bowers put it, the Summer of ' 85 was ' AWESOME ' . Virginia Beach: only the lucky experienced.

Although most schools had to struggle to make it to the top, it seemed to come naturally to Woodlan. Even when things seemed down, the pride and spirit of Woodlan students remained above the best. Even at the top, they were not satisfied. They strove even harder, pushing themselves to the limit until they felt they were at their best. A step above the best. Christy Meek THEME 5 Friendships Are Forever A friend is to rely upon, To sigh upon, and even cry upon. A shoulder will always be there. To comfort and remind you someone cares. So if you ' re feeling down. Call a friend, your days will turn around. A friend will listen to what you say, And will be beside you for forever . . . and a day. Amy Yoder Friend (friend), n.l. A person whom one knows well and is fond of; intimate associ- ate; close acquaintance. Syn. — associate, companion, acquaintance, familiar, ally, chum, messmate, coadjutor, confidant, ad- herent. Webster. A friend is someone special and one to share all your secrets with, said junior Stephanie Earning, Junior Sheila Schurg commented, Without my friends, my life would be boring because I wouldn ' t have anyone to do things ' out of the ordinary ' with! Most of my time is spent with friends. To think of a world without friends would be to think of a life without excitement, without pizzazz. When asked what she and her friends do when they go out together, sophomore Nikki Harris commented, We usually go out and cruise the town. Activi- ties such as shopping, vacationing, skiing, bowling, partying, talking, laughing, gossip- ing, and just goofing off wouldn ' t be the same without friends. Of course they could be done, but what fun would it be talking to yourself or going to Florida a ll alone. ' ' !!! Sophomores Carol Hughes and Freshman Candy James give it their best shot! This is a world FULL of friends and almost anywhere you go, friends may be seen to- gether whether at work or play. Junior Lyn- da Grams commented, Everyone needs a friend to go to when needed and just to have fun with! Senior Monte Padilla also com- mented, A friend is someone you can trust and throw a party with! If I didn ' t have any friends I would walk this earth alone and become a HOBO! People have their own opinion as to how much a friend means to them and just how much time they can spend with their friends. Junior Amy Yoder stated her opinion as a friend is a wonderful thing to have and no one should EVER have to be without one!!!

That was the battle cry circulating the bleachers after the seniors defeated the sophomores in the final powder puff game. Woodlan High School experienced many changes this year along with a new principal and the seven period day. Many of the changes were to the stu- dent ' s approval, although the shortening of the homecoming was not one of them. Homecoming week was always a week that the students could let their spirit show, stated junior Kym Campbell, That ' s why I think if they do anything to it, they should make it longer. Even though homecoming week was shorter, com- mented freshman Lance Gustin, It was still fun and everyone had a good time. Students participated in Character Day, Blue and White Day, and Dress Up Day. We had a lot of fun participating in the different days, stated ju- nior Rick Messman. Too bad there were only three of them. The seniors were the overall winners of spirit week and at the powder puff football game, the seniors were again victorious. First they defeated the ju- niors and then they overpowered the sophomores in a good game. The power puff game also attract- ed a large crowd of all ages. After the homecoming game, in which Woodlan was victorious over Carroll, Music King lit up the night with their lights and fog which made a per- fect ending to a great homecoming. The dance was great! commented junior Beckie Eberly. Aimec Gaston Photos taken by Kim Farmer Are we gonna win? says sophomore Denise Beach as she attempts to get the ready for the big game against the seniors.

Homecoming 11 A Look All Our Own Baulkey, Etzler, and Strautman. These were names that had become synonymous with Woodlan High School. In fact, Woodlan had quite a few dedicated, loyal teachers who had been with the school for a number of years. As students advanced through Woodlan they encountered a wide variety of these well-known teachers, each unique and Name — Mr. Pond Colleges attended — B.S.U. and I.U.

This year marked the beginning of a new concept in education: SEVEN CLASSES! The act called for the addition of another class to be packed into the already packed day. The thought of having another class that would give the students homework was not too far from deep depression. The kids felt that six classes a day the previous years was pretty heavy! They hadn ' t seen anything yet! Many kids just had five solids, but the more studious students had had six soHds. This year everyone had at least six classes to contend with, and the more diligent ones went for it and tried to tackle seven. When asked what their feelings were on the subject, students made the following com- ments: Junior Brad Bowditch: It stinks, it ' s just too long. It won ' t last. Junior Schely Gerbers: It ' s long and tire- some, the goo d part is that some classes are a little shorter than others. Senior Christy Meek: I Hke it. It ' s the first year that I ' ve been able to take six solids with a study hall. Sophomore Robin Hockemeyer: I think it ' s stupid! Seven Period Itch 14 Junior Rod Hormann takes his books to lunch to catch up on extra work, while Tim Gerig munches down his daily cookie. Lunch break proves to be a needed extra studyhall for senior Michele Amstutz. Study hall is a multi-purpose session according to junior Scott Hersch- berger who catches up on lost sleep. Seven Period Itch 15 Time To Break Away Looking for a place to have fun and relax? Get away from it all? With the seven period day, Woodlan stu- dents were under a lot more stress than the previous year. It was important for them to escape and break away, just to get away from it all. With extra homework and pres- sure from friends, family, and teachers, it got to be quite difficult to keep up with every - thing. There were a lot of places to go and relax after school. Given a survey, the Warriors picked the Glenbrook Mall as the best place to get away. The next best places were 2) parties, 3) Shoaff Park, and 4) Pizza Hut. Activities like basketball, football and cheer - leading practices were other popular after school activities. When asked how she felt about her after school activities, cheerlead- ing and basketball, Trish Baker said, They ' re hard work but I guess it ' s all worth it. Senior Tracy Yerks, who is a basketball player, said, It ' s a lot of work, especially when you don ' t feel like practicing. Eighth grader Jennifer Goodin is cruising along, re- lieved practice is over.

Woodlan ' s just one of those places that even two Snider girls, Laura Vandenburg and Darcy Mertz, had to visit. Is it one of Santa ' s elves? No, it ' s just junior Angle Logan. The Woodlan students were again given a survey on their activities after hours. Question 1 Where do you spend most of your time after school. ' Senior Jerry Quinn: I go to Glenbrook and work.

CRUISING TIME n Detention Blues Tuesday-Thursday Club should be abol- ished, said an anonymous freshman who did not like the new system. People were put in detention for such offenses as not getting a parking sticker and having paper wad fights in class. Senior Christy Meek said, I think it just gives the teachers something to threaten the kids with. Junior Michele Smith thought that teachers abuse the privilege too much. Junior Schely Gerbers thought it was a good idea but the teachers abused it. She also thought that some students that were given detention didn ' t deserve it. Senior Keith Brown said, I think it ' s a good idea as long as it ' s not abused or misused. These were a few views from students. The rules for the club were very hard to abide by, said an angry sophomore. One was not allowed to sleep, read magazines, write letters, sit idly, leave the seat, leave the room or do non- school work. One had to bring paper, books, pencils, pens and any other materials required to keep busy. The majority of the teachers liked the idea of having detention. Mr. Rohrbacher knew it was working since last year 135 students did not turn in parent -teacher conference slips, but this year with the threat of detention hanging over students ' heads, only six were not turned in. Senior Tracy Yerks demonstrates behavior that could land some in the Tuesday-Thursday Club: sleeping in class. 18 DETENTION TUESUAV ' mURSDAY CLUB informal ion, an.

The night start- ed when the girls picked up their dates and went for a fancy dinner out to Arby ' s or McDonald ' s. Some couples who attended were Chris Farver and Kris Hoover, Kel- ly Schling and 1985 graduate Brad Seelig, and also Stan Gerig and Julie Linker. Chris Farver replied, I felt the DJ was really good but it was a shame not many people were there. After their dinner, students started to arrive at the small gym decked out in their Hawai- ian duds that fitted right in with the motto Swing into Spring. They came to the Morp for a rowdy evening of dancing their hearts out. The music started at 8:00 p.m. and con- tinued until 11:00 p.m. The tunes were brought to Woodlan by Entertainment Plus. The students, who paid $3.00 apiece at the door or the presale price of $2.50 a couple, enjoyed the music and the lighting, stated principal and chaperone Mr. Rohrbacher. Entertainment Plus played a wide variety of music from heavy metal to slow jam. Some tunes which were played were Mony Mony by Billy Idol, West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys, and Heavens on Fire by Kiss. Kelly Schling, a junior, stated, The Morp was fun and I enjoyed the music they played. Around 10:00 p.m. the king and queen of the ' 86 Morp were crowned. They were crowned by Janet McKinley who was the president of student council. The king was Clark Plott, a freshman, and the queen was Aimee Gaston, a junior. Aimee replied one word when asked how it felt: Embarrassing. Clark, on the other hand, felt it was an honor because it ' s the first time I ever went to a Morp and also the first time being crowned something. The king and queen had a special dance by themselves to the song Forever in your Arms by Kermy The king and queen, freshman Clark Plott and junior Aimee Gaston, show how to do the famous dance, the Loggins. Aimee also Said, I wish Clark was Samba. a little bit shorter. The night ended with a very successful and definitely rowdy Morp. Lynda Grams Photos by Keith Pierson MORP 21 For many, the night of May 10, 1986, proved to be a very fun, meaningful and memorable experience. The 1986 prom, Tonight It ' s You, was held at the Holiday Inn North- west. After a Salisbury steak dinner, couples danced to the music of The Edge. Halfway through the evening ' s festivities, the senior awards were given to a few select seniors. As the clock struck 10:00, the King, Queen, and Court were announced. Second runners -up: Cortney Schwartz and Pam Tonight It ' s You Martin, first runners -up: Nick Lengacher and Tania Chapman. Crowned King and Queen were Stan Gerig and Amy Bowers. After the coronation, couples went their sep- arate ways to the lake, out for breakfast, or to a friend ' s house. Junior Brad Bowditch summed up the evening this way: I had a lot of fun, my date looked great and my car was awesome. Junior Kym Campbell com- mented: It was my first prom and it was fun walking around in my dress. Prom is a perfect time to get together with close friends as shown by Stan Gerig, Cortney Schwartz, Tim Gerig, and their dates.

PROM 23 Finally Made It: The class of 1986 finally made it to one of the most important days of their lives. This day was graduation day which occurred on May 30. While getting ready for this big day, they had a morning rehearsal and a senior breakfast which brought about much excite- ment. The evening of May 30, started off with the junior and senior high band playing a few numbers such as Come Go With Me and Stars and Stripes Forever. Then as the seniors started walking down the aisle, the band started to play Pomp and Circum- stance. After they all took their seats, senior class president Doug McNally offered a prayer. After Mr. Greathouse and superintendent of East Allen County Schools Dr. Michael Benway gave a few words, salutatorian Mat- thew Rekeweg took the floor and made a speech talking about how to live your life and reach your goals. After the class of ' 86 received their diplomas, they turned their tassels from right to left and were then considered the alumni of Woodlan High .School. Greg Stieglitz summed up graduation with his valedictori- ir ' ' Lvnda Grams Being the first of the graduates to walk down the aisle, Greg Stieglitz and Lisa Hege ad- vance to theif seats to await their diplomas.

Sophomore Sharon Frecker was awarded a trophy for being one of the two MVP ' s in girls track. HONOR NIGHT 27 Gamblin ' Guys Dancin ' Dolls Choreographer Debbie Roth and her daughter Ashlee read along through a script book during one of the first practices. As a stripper and a gambler, junior Lynda Grams and senior Doug Amburgey get ready for the opening night of Guys Dolls. Senior Gordon Miller gives up on fighting i Debbie Roth cake on the makeup. nd lets ... and then they took off their dresses and threw them into the audience! What ' s this? Strippers at our school? No, it ' s just the characters some played for the musical Guys Dolls. Guys Dolls was about a gambler who had been engaged to a dan- cer stripper for fourteen years and finally got married. His thoughts On marriage were ex- pressed in one line, We all have to go someday! They didn ' t actually take off all of their clothes; they merely stripped down to something a bit more comfortable. It does get quite hot under those lights!! The play this year got off a little late, but after things got going the cast was really hot! It was performed on April 24-26 and prac- tices for the play didn ' t get started until a couple of weeks before spring break. When the kids came back from their vacation on Monday, Mr. Snider was ready and work- ing them hard. T he lead roles were taken by seniors Cheryl Nicole as Miss Sarah, Gordon Miller as Nathan Detroit, and Greg Stieglitz as Sky Masterson; juniors Kym Campbell as Ad- elaide, and Stan Gerig as Benny South - street; and sophomore Matt DeLong as Nicely Nicely Johnson. The students didn ' t have much time for anything while in prep- aration for the musical. Most of the practices were held in the evening and they lasted three hours or until Mr. Snider was pleased enough to let them go home. Mr. Schlatter was in charge of most of the vocal training while Mr. Snider was the director. Debbie Roth was the choreographer and helped out wherever she was needed. She commented, With so many different areas of this musical, I felt sometimes a bit over- whelmed, but working with such an out- standing group of students proved to be rewarding. The ' Guys Dolls ' production was a great success. Reflecting on perfor- mances versus practices, she was pleased and proud to see the students and their portrayal of their characters come to life. And with about 1500 people there for all three nights, it was a success. When asked about her mistakes, junior Kym Campbell commented, I panicked and tried to cover it up as well as I could. One of the many students that went to see the play noted that the cast this year was a bit more polished than the previous year. Mr. Snider summed up the play by commenting, Cre- ating a musical production pushes anyone to the limits of their abilities — cast, crew, and director. But the - ultimate ' magic ' of theatre and rewards of seeing a story come alive through the combined work and talent of everyne working together is certainly worth it! ' Guys Dolls ' was a wonderful prod uc- tion! Amy Yoder 28 MUSICAL Senior Rita Bennett tips the bottle while she is backstage operating the curtain and directing the scene changes. Checking last minute preparations, Mr. Snider looks at the stage to make sure the curtain is ready to go up. One of the stars of the show, senior Gordon Miller tosses his head and says, Look at me! MUSICAL 29 The Clash Of The Classes Scuba Seniors?!Jail-Bait Juniors?! Su- perfriend Sophomores?! Fruity Fresh- men?! Who are these people? These are the themes that each class chose for Class Tourney. Each class dressed and acted according to their theme while cheering on their very own bas- ketball stars on Thursday evening, March 20. There were two tournaments divided into two 20 -minute periods, one be- tween the guys and one between the girls. Any girl that did not letter in basketball could play. The night start- ed with the Senior girls playing the Junior girls, the Junior girls winning. Then the Sophomore girls beat the Freshmen. The final game was then between the Juniors and the Sophomores. The Sophomore girls were generally more organized because of their experience in playing together on the reserve team. The Juniors didn ' t have this ad- vantage of experience; they were more or less thrown together. The Juniors that were experienced had lettered and were not able to play. A Jail - Bait Ju - nior Cissy Ely commented, I thought it was fun, especially at the end. We knew we wouldn ' t win so we started fouling them like crazy!! The Superfriend Sophomore girls were tri- umphant!!! The guy ' s tournament also started with the Jail -Bait Juniors playing the Scuba Seniors. In this game the Sen- iors won the first game. Junior Brad Hall commented, We should have taken the ball inside more and hit the boards harder. Overall it was a phys- All photos by Kim Farmer ical and fastpaced game! The Fresh- men then ruled over the Sophomores, showing the Sophomores which team had better quality. Superfriend Sopho- more Jeff Bradtmiller commented, The boys team should have got first, but the Freshmen out -hustled us. The Freshmen were probably the best team in the school ' s history. Good outside shots, good rebounding, and superb athletes. The final game was the Seniors chal- lenging the Freshmen to try their best. The Seniors, of course, won though the Freshmen went against their odds and gave it their best shot. It was awesome! We kicked !@ and won it , exclaimed Senior Todd Smith. The Class Tourney generally consisted of a lot of spirit! A stereo was brought in to arouse the love everyone has for music. One of the beloved tunes that was played which got everyone on their feet and jumping was Mony Mony by Billy Idol. Everyone came to cheer on their own class and it also gave them a good reason to get out of the house. Who could turn down a chance to be with their friends, dress up wild, and just act downright CRAZY??!!! Not many people, and that is one of the reasons that there was a good turnout at the Class Tourney. The other reason is because of Woodlan ' s spirit. Al- though everyone was cheering only for their own class, the spirit that was displayed was the one and only Woodlan class spirit! Concentrating on her dribbling.

Happy Valentine ' s Day! and many more sayings were heard throughout the ' 85 - ' 86 school year. Most students expressed the need for holidays. Junior Beckie Eberly stated, Christmas was my favorite holiday because we got two weeks off for it. Some even considered spring break a holiday. The parties were great, and the women were ex- ceptionally well, commented senior Jeff Beach. During the holidays the Warrior students found their way about the party places. Sophomore Lance Irwin said, I went to my friend ' s house and we had a lot of fun. Seventh grader Lori Hissong stated, We went to my grandma ' s house and me and my uncle went sledding. However the holidays were celebrated, most agreed they had a good time. Freshman Troy Hege commented, I really enjoyed the time off to do whatever I wanted to: sleeping, eating, and watching T.V. Al- though some thought the holidays were bor- ing, others made the most of them. Kevin, Rachel, Kyle, and Evan Farmer gather around the dinner table for a Thanksgiving feast.

Third A Time s Charm Mr. Rohrbacher, the principal, the athlete, the friend, all in one. He was the third principal in three years. Mr. Rohrbacher had been the vice-princi- pal at Harding for seven years when he was given the opportunity to move to Warrior Country. It was a quick decision, said Mr. Rohrbacher, but I decided to move to Woodlan mainly because of the reputation and community. I love the relaxed atmosphere and the way the kids are so close and stick together. One change Mr. Rohrbacher made to handle sticky situations was to start the Tuesday-Thurs- day Club. Any student who misbehaved could be given a membership (detention) by any employee. Mrs. Wilson ' s room was the site for the club meetings every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15- 4:00 p.m. No talking, no sleeping, and only study- ing were the club rules. Alumni, parents, and others constantly asked how the students felt about Mr. Rohrbacher and hav- ing another principal. Junior Marsha Korte had this to say: I think he is working hard to get things squared away and trying to improve our school system. This was how sophomore Scott Swymeler felt: I like him, he ' s a real nice guy, and he ' s doing a good job. That seemed to be the general feeling of the student body, most of who hof)ed he would stay. Third time ' s a charm! 34 MR. ROHRBACHER Don ' t hold your breath. Mr. Rohrbacher is assigning detention. Laurel and Hardy? Maybe! Mr. Rohrbacher and cus- todian Henry Fritcha goof around during school hours. The Chief Rohrbacher stands proud while watching the Warriors defeat their enemy. MR. ROHRBACHER 35 ' 85 - ' 86 In Review During the 85-86 school year the students once again saw the face of a new principal, Mr. Rohrbacher. Mr. Rohrbacher brought many changes with him. Strict ab- sence and detention policies were installed. When asked what she thought about deten- tion, sophomore Denise Beach commented that, It was boring and most people just slept or wrote letters. In the course of the year a serious outbreak of the flu hit the Allen county area. Record breaking numbers of students and teachers missed days of school over the span of a month. 175 students were out of school at WHS on one day. Junior Marsha Krote commented that, It wasn ' t really worth coming to school because hardly anyone was in class and we didn ' t do anything anyway. Even though the flu epidemic broke out during prime time basketball season, the Warrior basketball team was able to capture its third ACAC title in the last four years. The Warriors also put Woodlan on the map after winning the Fort Wayne Sectional II title. The Warriors defeated the Concordia Cadets 57-51, the Bishop Dwenger Saints 83-65, and the Snider Panthers 59-56. This marked the first time in 38 years that a coun- ty team had won a Fort Wayne Sectional. The last county team to win a Sectional was Monroeville High School in 1S)48. Not only did the Warriors shake up Fort Wayne; bands such as Motley Crue, Kiss, Aerosmith, and Van Halen also rocked the Fort. Van Halen rocked the Fort, but with- out their former lead singer David Lee Roth. Sammy Hagar replaced Roth in ' 85. Junior Amy Yoder stated that, the concert was great but it wasn ' t the same without David! Woodlan had many visitors throughout the year including the North Central Evaluation Committee. The NCEC visits each Allen county school once every seven years. After the committee ' s stay, they reported that al- though some of Woodlan ' s facilities were poor, the curriculum, faculty, and students were up to par. Summit talks were held in Geneva, Switzer- land between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhial Gorbachev discussed arms reduction, for- eign policy, and they agreed to meet again On January 28, 1986 the lives of seven U.S. astronauts were taken when the space shuttle Challenger exploded into a giant fireball. Flags were at half mast all over the country in memory of the Challenger crew. Aboard the Challenger was the first-ever teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe. The disaster di- rectly affected students at WHS. Members of the chemistry classes were to travel to Concordia High School to watch a live broadcast conducted upon the Challenger by McAuliffe. During the month of April terrorism spread throughout the world. Bombings killing sev- eral Americans forced the U.S. to take action against the country of Libya, whose leader Khadafy was responsible for the acts of ter- rorism. World concern also spread after a nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in the U.S.S.R. The Russians held back information regarding the accident and of the number of people who were killed. The nuclear fallout spread to the U.S., but little or no harm was believed to be done. Popular movies to hit the screen during the year included Back to the Future, April Fools Day, and Top Gun. When asked what movie he liked the most, sophomore Jon Deiagrange said that, Top Gun was the best movie I ' ve ever seen. sheila Schurg Sophomore Jon Deiagrange prepares for takeoff.

The swing choir started practicing long before the school year even started. Some members even went to camp to strengthen their abilities in singing and dancing. Sophomore Cory Wietfeldt said, It really helped me to go to camp and made me want to try harder. Under the direction of Miss Pat Deihl, the group strived for and achieved the goal of entertaining with often touch- ing song -and -dance performances. Not only did the swing choir shine through, but the concert choir and jr. high choir also reached out to achieve their goals of excel- lence in performance. Through performing at the spring concerts and various street fairs, all three choirs real- ized their potential and developed them through long hours of practicing. Swing choir.

Row 4: Karen Koch, Cheryl Nicole. The Drill Squad and Color Guard worked hard to perform well and please their audi- ence. A lot of extra hours before and after school, practicing routines with rifles, flags, and hand motions until reaching perfection, meant giving up a lot of free time. Freshman Candy James one of the new members this year, said, It was really hard getting up one morning at 2:00 A.M. for a competition, but we got what we deserved. During the sum- mer, the Drill Squad attended the Fred J. Miller Clinic to learn new routines and tech- niques. All the hard work at camp made it nice to come and show their stuff at home football and basketball games. Junior Mindy McCracken said, It may be hard work, but I think it ' s all worth it. The Color Guard may not have shown their stuff till the end of the year, but long hard practices had been going on long before that. The Color Guard stepped to a different beat this year, going from classical music to rock ' n roll. Sophomore Tonya Holsopple said This year was a lot more fun. I could really relax this year. The Color Guard received three second place awards and three third place awards in their season of competitions. Sen- ior Cheryl Nicole said, It ' s the best we ' ve ever done, and I ' m really proud of us.

Popular musicians such as Mad- dona, Cyndi Lauper, Prince, and the bad boys from L.A., Motley Crue, seemed to be very influential on how a lot of young people dressed. Since everyone ' s idea of style was different, senior Todd Smith said, Most people tend to dress casually, while others tended to express their individuality. When asked what her idea of fashion was, senior Amber Owens commented, Anything totally wild and anything that Maddona would wear. Sophomores Marty Amburgey and Tony Rekeweg said, Most kids don ' t dress in any particular way. They just put on whatever they grab in the closet. However, Marty added, All guys should dress like Motley Crue. Mr. Rohrbacher stated that he thinks fads are great. They are fun and the students here handle them well. Everyone looks well-groomed and they don ' t let it get out of hand. Ready for summer, seniors Ron Lockridge and Dan Krinn dress for warm weather.

A room full of good friends! A friend is someone you can count on when the going gets rough, someone you can share your secrets with, and someone you like to be around when you are feeling bad or like having fun. Friendship is a give and take situation. It seems like the students here at Woodlan have the situation well at hand. Sure there were the usual clicks, but friendship ex- tended well beyond the clicks to include as many people as possible. It wasn ' t unusual to walk down the hall, smile, and say hello to students you don ' t normally hang around with. And it wasn ' t unusual to hear them say hi and smile back!! PEOPLE 47 Seniors Are Embarrassment is defined by Webster ' s as; confusion or discom- posure of mind. When asked to define embarrassment, John Hemmelgarn stated, When you do something to make your face turn real red and you get, like, hot. Throughout their years at Woodlan, members of the class of ' 86 have had many embarrassing moments. Sean Couse remembers, My most embarrassing moment was this fail when I opened my locker between first and second hour. Before I could stop it. I was ankle deep in packing peanuts (styrofoam). The whole hall had a ' § !. ' $ of a time kicking the stuff around! Angie Gerig: My most embarrasing moment was when I rolled my dad ' s truck before I had my license and coming to school and having people tease me by calling me ' crash ' and actually rolling down the hall singing, Roll, roll, roll your truck ' ! Tracy Yerks stated her most embarrassing moment was, When Amber (Owens) undid my bra in Mrs. Etzler ' s sophomore English class. Kevin Brown said, My most embarrassing moment was my freshman year in wrestling when Keith (Brown) and I were drugj out on the mat by a bunch of the guys on the team and Gary| Vondran put panty hose over our heads! Tina Burkhart: Getting caught by a cop doing a brodie in the school parking lot. Stephanie Baker remembers, My sophomore year during the ACAC games at the coliseum I got my foot caught through on one of the chairs and the janitor had to come take the chair apart to get me out. My ankle was swollen for a whole week! And Jeff Delagrange remembers, 1 was going to kick the football off the tee at the beginning of the football game and I missed the whole football. The rest of the team was running down the field while the football stayed put. Many seniors may have been embar- rassed throughout their few years here at Woodlan, but their pride was shown when they saw that diploma hit their hand in May, because they knew they now had nothing to be ashamed of.

It. , . ' I A • ' f i 50 JUNIORS Excuse rae, what was the name of the red and black junior class tourney teams? Jailbaits. Junior Jailbaits, as in the hot- test class. The junior class wanted to be original and do what no other class had done. Surprisingly the name and colors for the teams were accepted and the juniors were going hot . Dressed in trench coats, sun glasses, jail uniforms, and massive make-up, the juniors finally got to go all out; unfortunately, the teams didn ' t do as well as their spirit. The boys team lost the first game and the girls team got second (not mentioning the first place team!). Coach of the girls class tourney team, Rod Hermann, had this to say, Class tourney was a lot of fun and I ' m looking forward to coaching next year. Lyn Etzler, the woman in charge of tee-shirts for the junior teams, said this: Our spirit at the class tourney was the wildest and rowdiest we ' ve ever had. I can ' t wait ' til next year. The starting center for the girls ' team, 6 ' redhead Dawn Zirkelbach, felt this way about the games, I needed crash mats and a helmet to protect myself from those vicious super friends.

Most sophomores celebrated their I6th birthday. And along with turning sweet sixteen many received their drivers license. Tony Rekeweg was one of the many who received their license. He stated, I can go to more parties now that I have my license. A lot of sophomores were relieved to know that they were the last class to graduate with only 32 credits. Marilyn Doctor comment- ed, I feel sorry for the classes under us that have to have more credits. As spirit week approached, the sophomore girls geared up for the traditional Powder Puff games. They creamed the freshmen in the first game but were defeated by the seniors. Debbie Martin said, I thought we played an excellent game considering how rough the seniors played. The Superfriend Sophomores hit the court dawning their capes and shields defending their class hon- or. They were victorious in both games against the freshmen and the juniors. Kelly Rector stated, We had a lot of fun showing the juniors we were the best. The class of ' 88 was on the rise! 54 SOPHOMORES Sophomore class officers (clockwise fiom left): Kerri McNally, Angie Heintzelman, Mike De- lagrange, Julie Miller Julie Gessner Jamie Gorrell Mar)orie Graber Dawn Guiff Stephanie Habegger Erik Haberkorn Steve Halsey Tyler Harris Mark Hart Deena Heckley Angela Heintzelman John Hickey Kris Hieber Todd Hissong Robm Hockemeyer Blake Hoeppner Tonya Holsopple Kris Hoover Carol Hughes Tracie Irick Lance Irwin Angle Johnson Mike Johnson Travis Jones Trena Justice Steve Keele Virginia King Came Kitzmiller Angle Klett Jim Klmski SOPHOMORES 55 Karen Kneubuhler Kristie Kummer Jenny Lake Cody Lambert Shane Latta Michelle Lawles Maria Lengacher Randy Lewman Julie Linker Todd Litzenberg Mike Logan Chris Love Jim Manter Debbie Martin Doug McClish Jenny McCiure Lynne McCracken Russ McCurdy Kerri McNally Dennis Melcher Angle Miller Julie Miller Brian Minick David Mohr Kelly Morhart Joyce Morimanno Carl Morris Ricky MuUer Damon Muzzy Brad Myers Jim Newhard Paul Nieuwlandt Kelly Ohlwine Brad Osborn Brian Paragi Kent Peters Craig Phillips J.D.

Gloria Gerig Stephen Gilford Gena Gillie Brian Gingerich The freshmen were stepping up in their school years. Although this was their first year in high school, they ' d been attending school since the age of five or six. That was longer ago than many can remember. Finally they had made it to HIGH SCHOOL and they must have felt as if they ' d accomplished a lot, but for some reason they were practi- cally the only ones who thought so. It seemed as if everyone looked down on the freshmen. For example, walking in the halls between classes. The freshmen were always the one to dodge upperclassmen. Upper - classmen felt they didn ' t have to move for those wimpy freshmen. What could the freshmen do? They certainly couldn ' t shove them around .. . or could they. ' This year the freshmen proved themselves important by participating in the school spir- it and helping Woodlan have winning sea- sons in athletics. High school was also tougher academically. As stated by an eager freshman, You are more on your own and also teachers don ' t help you as much. As the freshmen started to mature and get more independent, they got to do more. When a group of freshmen were asked what they liked to do on the weekends, they re- plied, Play basketball, go to the mall, see movies, and generally go out with friends. After a year of hard work and being accept- ed into high school, the freshman class had an awesome first year in the wonderful world of HIGH SCHOOL.

Freshman year here we come. This was running through the minds of the eighth graders as they made their move from junior high into high school. Although high school offered many differ- ent things, eighth graders still held great memories of their last year in junior high. The year was full of changes for the eighth graders. New classes, new friends, and new rules. The classes are harder this year, stat- ed eighth grader Holly Gaston. But I also made a lot of new friends. Some of the new classes were: accelerated math, introduction into foreign language, and business survey. These classes introduced students to basic algebra, Spanish and German, and basic rules of business. Business class was fun, commented eighth grader Shawn Mess- man, and it also taught you how business works. 62 EIGHTH GRADE Eighth graders, Bech Jones, Brian Kitzmiller, Aimee Krick, Brent Lawles, and Phil Krohn await their turn for the video taping done for identification pur- poses.

The seventh graders were starting over and working their way up the ladder. Some of the seventh graders couldn ' t wait to go to Woodlan, while the others were scared to come to a big school with all those big kids. Seventh grader Linda Keller said, At first I was scared to come to a big school, but now it doesn ' t seem so big. While, try- ing to adjust to meeting new friends, having new classes, learning their way around, and memorizing new locker combinations, the seventh graders had a big year ahead of them. Along with the changes from elemen- tary to junior high, the students had the opportunity to be involved in school sports. Seventh grader Tonya Steinman comment- ed, I couldn ' t wait to come to Woodlan and be involved in the school sports. With all the changes from leaving elementary to coming to junior high, the seventh graders adjusted to them and to Woodlan.

In 1968 these additions were made. The class of 1S)60 was the first class to attend Woodlan High School. The class consisted of 274 students. With all of the new addi- tions, there were 783 students enrolled this year. There were many teachers who had been in and out of Woodlan, but the two who had stayed for the most number of years were Mrs. Weaver in the English department and Mr. Pond as a Guidance Counselor. Mrs. Weaver had been here for 26 years. In all but four of those years, she taught Eng- lish. She was called in to substitute and had been here ever since. Mrs. Weaver stated, I like the kids and the community. Referring to the current rumor of Woodlan being shut down because of declining enrollment, Mrs. Weaver stated, if Woodlan goes, I go, be- cause I would not teach anyplace else be- cause Woodlan is the best. Mr. Pond had been here for 25 years and had been a Guidance Counselor all of them. Due to the uncompleted school building in 1968, the students were not able to attend because of the additions being made. Mr. Pond stated that the teachers would come in, drink coffee, and chat. The Guidance Office was once a math room and has since been divided into three rooms. Mr. Pond said he enjoys the kids because he thinks that for the most part they are polite, consid- erate, well mannered, and most are motivat- ed towards school. Although Mr. Pond and Mrs. Weaver said that they enjoyed the students, Mr. Pond remarked that, The kids don ' t put a big enough effort towards learning. Mrs. Weaver said that, The kids care just enough about a grade as they do education. FACULTY 71 Dr. Jekyl And Mr. Hyde? How many Dr. Jekyls and Mr. Hydes are there in the classrooms? Teachers try to set good examples for their students by dressing nice, showing discipline, or by just being there. But, how do they come ALIVE?? Stu- dents see teachers as just a teacher. They have hobbies and activities too. Just like students, they have to come to school all day and obey rules such as: being here by 7:30 am, being at the door of their room by 7:50 am, having to watch the halls between classes and not being able to leave until 3:15 pm. They also look forward to 3:05!!! Many of them do different things such as dancing, knitting, or being a member of an organization said L.D. Room teacher Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. Moennig, the librarian, said that she enjoys gourmet cooking, bicycling, or going out with my husband. Now, students may not see their favorite teacher at Shoaff Park or Rock America, but they may be surprised where they see them!!! Mr. Snider shows his enthusis footbaU game.

Winners On And Off The Field Woodlan ' s finest came through on the field, track, course, and on the court. Records were set and broken in cross country, track, basketball, and others. Sweat, sore muscles, injuries, and a lot of hard work and determi- nation all came together to make 1986 one of the best years Woodlan has ever had in sports. Underclassmen and upperclassmen joined together to combine their skills to create winning teams. They worked together so closely that teammates and coaches became family members and best friends. The ath- letes combined their physical and mental abilities to become winners both on and off the field.

This motto wasn ' t just thought up. The guys put in many long, hard, and grueling hours three times a week beginning June 4 at weight training and at two-a-day practices in preparation for the upcoming season. After losing the season opener to New Haven, the warriors went to Heritage looking for a victory. Both teams marched up and down the field, but were unsuccessful in scoring in the 48 minute time limit. The game went into overtime. Senior Chris Fisher said, I think the team was drained because of the heat, but once the overtime started the team finally came alive. Neither team was able to score in the first overtime. In double overtime, the Patriots threw a pass over the middle and scored, but failed to convert the extra point because Fisher blocked it. This gave the Warriors the momentum they needed to win. On the second play junior Scott Yoder pushed his way into the end zone and junior Craig Sowers kicked the winning extra point. Having won the next five games straight, the Warriors prepared to meet the triple A Car- roll Chargers, 4-2, in their homecoming game. Late in the second quarter the Char- gers punched it in for seven points. The Warriors fought back fiercely and halfway through the fourth quarter started a scoring drive consisting of a ten yard run by Yoder, a 17 yard run by Fisher, a 25 yard pass to senior Craig Riebersal, a one yard run by Yoder, and finally Riebersal ' s twenty-six yard run for the touchdown. As the last second ticked off the clock the score was once again tied. In the first overtime neither team was able to score. In double overtime Carroll had the first opportunity, but failed when they fumbled the ball on second down and junior Darren Herschberger recov- ered. The Warriors went to work but failed to score. Coach Etzler took a time out to talk to the field goal unit. He said to Sow- ers, Well it looks like you have another chance to redeem yourself. Once again. Sowers ca me through for the Warriors by kicking a field goal of twenty yards. The Warriors made it happen by preserving a 7-0 record in the ACAC. The All-Confer- ence team consisted of seniors Jeff Bockel- man, Chris Fisher, Ron Lockridge, Doug McNally and juniors Drew White- head and Scott Yoder. As the Warriors started the playoffs they were optimistic about their chances. Senior Jeff Delagrange said, I think this team has the potential to go all the way. In the first Thrill Of Victory sectional game they defeated the Lakeland Lakers 28-21. Continuing to move on in sectional play the Warriors sidetracked the Garrett Railroaders 21-6. Now they had to face the Bishop Luers Knights in search of a sectional title. As the game started, the Knights had the first opportunity to score. They failed to move the ball any further than the 25 yard line and settled for a field goal. Then the Warriors tried to start their own scoring drive, but it proved unsuccessful. Mike Millikan of Luers intercepted a pass and ran all the way back to the ten yard line before being tackled. Two plays later from five yards out senior Cal Miller scored his first touchdown of the night. The extra point failed and the score was 9-0. Late in the second quarter, the Warriors finally put some points on the board. McNally threw a five yard pass to senior Kevin Weber for the score followed by Sower ' s extra point kick making the score 9-7 in Luers ' favor. That would be the last time they would put any points on the board. In the second half the Luers coach elected to go back to the running game and Miller scored two more touchdowns. As the game concluded, the final score was 22-7. Bishop Luers then went on to win the state title. The Warriors wrapped up another fine sea- son with a record of 9-2. Senior Dave Voors said after the season was over, I had hoped that the season would have lasted longer than it did, but it ' s like Coach Etzler said, You can ' t complain about a 9-2 re- cord and an ACAC title. The reserve team finished the season with a winning record of 4-3.

FOOTBALL si The freshmen, led by Troy Ehle, breakdown during practice. m Freshman Kert Ward breaks down before destroying an opponent. Coach Lehrman talks to the team after a game. The Freshman football team had an excellent year, with a record of 6-2. They started out the season with five straight wins, before they lost to an always tough Harding team. They came off their loss to Harding in true Warrior style, by romping Garrett. They then lost their last game to Heritage. Freshman Troy Ehle had this to say about the season: I enjoyed it quite a bit, the coaches did a great job, and we had a pretty good year. Football this year was a new experience for the freshmen, who got their first taste of two-a-day practices in August. The practices were long, hot, and tiring, but it all paid off in the end.

The eighth grade football team had a tough season this year with a 3-3 record. They started out by losing to two tough teams, New Haven and Perry Hill, but they turned around and won the next two games against Heritage and Eastside. With a 2-2 record going into the Leo game, they were looking for a win, but the Lions had other plans fo r the Warriors. They upset them by a score of 33-18. They finished up the season by whipping the Churubusco Eagles by 19 points. The season was better than last year and it was fun, commented eighth grader Joey Ternet about the season. The seventh grade football team had a really rough introduction to football this year. Their first year in the foot- ball program was a bit of a disap- pointment. They finished with a 1-5 record. Matt Eberly said, I thought we had a good year, but we could ' ve won some more. They started out the season with two losses to very good New Haven and Perry Hill teams. Their next game, against Heritage, was a big morale booster. They won it and were looking forward to fmishing up the season with a winning record. Eastside, Leo, and Churubusco had other ideas for the youngest of the Warrior footballers. All three teams defeated the Warriors. The coaches were good, but we just needed more time to get the team together, was what Craig Cotterman thought about the season. Even though victory seemed to elude them for most of the year, the Jr. High Warriors will be back next year, and they ' ll be ready to Jr. High — Tough Year Seventh grade.

CROSS COUNTRY Small Teams Running fast and hard through the grass or on a trail was where many cross country runners were found after school or on the weekends. According to sophomore Moni- ca Ehrhardt and junior Scott Huth, the runners worked hard and long to make the season a successful one. The teams compet- ed in seventeen meets during the season, five of which were invitationals. In a meet, the girls ran 2.4 mile sand the guys ran 3.1 miles. The girls cross country team was coached by Kim Stairs who summed up the season, This year ' s cross country team was a very young team, consisting of six sophomores and one freshman. The team did very well competing against older and more exper- ienced opponents; they offered much suc- cess for the future. Our most improved runner was Kelly Ohl- wine, competing for the first year. Our most successful runner was Jamie Gorrell. Gorrell dominated the girls team the entire season. She won the AC AC All -Conference meet, she was. Sectional Champ, placed fourth in regionals, and placed fifth in State, to make a successful season. Gorrell also qualified for the All -Conference team with a time of 14.28. After winning the ACAC Championship, Gorrell summed up her feelings, I feel great! The girls cross coun- try team finished their season with a record of 5-5. The boys cross country team was coached b y Larry Bolden. It was Bolden ' s first year of coaching high school cross country. He said, We had a young team that was pretty good. We only had two seniors and I feel that Woodlan cross country will take a turn for the better in the next few years. Sopho- more Jim Newhard took the lead for the guys team with a time of 17.05 breaking the old school record of thirty seconds. The old record was held by Roger Baeumler with a time of 17.35. Newhard ' s season was cut short by a pulled muscle in his leg; therefore, keeping him from competing in the Section- al meet. The boys cross country team fin- ished the season with a 4-12 record. In junior high cross country, the girls and boys record was 3-2. The girls were coached by Brenda Wolfe and Kim Stairs, while the boys coach was Larry Bolden. The girls team consisted of seven while the boys had three. Both teams ran 1.9 miles in a meet. Kristi McNally won first place in the ACAC with a time of 12.11.

CROSS COUNTRY 85 Eat Volleyball A Cheer Heard Throughout The Volleyball Season. The varsity volleyball team had a winning season with a record of 10-8. The AC AC proved to be a challenge for the Lady War- riors as they were defeated by Carroll and took 2nd place. The team has gotten along with each other well throughout the season, commented varsity coach Pam Moore. The type of motivation the team used was bump- ing, setting, spiking, and serving. These were four of the basics used in volleyball. Along with the varsity, the reserve had 9 wins and 8 losses. The reserves had 12 players, with 3 of those being freshmen. The team took 3rd in the ACAC. The team lost to Heritage 15-5, 1-15, and 15-11. It took us Junior high varsity team.

It Stinks In Here!! Hey, It stinks in here! Those are usually the first words heard as the football players enter and the last words uttered as the baseball team leaves this room. This place has wit- nessed some of the best and worst moments in Woodlan athletic history. Sweat, tears, laughter, prayers, shouts of victory, and the silence of defeat have all been seen, heard, muttered, and screamed in this room. The locker room. The room where people get locked in their lockers, snapped with towels, dirty sweat socks shoved in their face, and freshmen always get picked on. Everybody always talks about whose jock they put Icy- Hot in and whose buns they put a welt on in a towel fight, but what about the serious side. ' What happens and what do people think about during pre -game and halftime rituals . ' ' Here ' s what Coach Etzler and two varsity football players thought about it. Coach Etzler: Quiet time — to prepare mentally and emotionally for the game. To focus the player ' s attention on the upcoming game by minimizing distractions. Senior Joe Heersche: The atmosphere in the locker room before the game helps you pre- pare mentally and physically for the night ' s game. Coach Etzler: The atmosphere of antici- pation and excitement of the pre -game locker room is extremely exhilarating. The preparation, the waiting, the uncertainty, the self-confidence, and the apprehension all contribute to an emotional ' high ' that most humans far too seldom have the opjwrtunity to experience. Junior Craig Sowers: Quiet time is a good idea. That way people can think about their assignments. It psyches you up. Shoot for two! Shoot for two! that was the next cheer heard during the school year. This year ' s basketball teams, boys and girls, were very successful, the boys having the bet record in Woodlan history. What helped to push these athletes to perform their very best? Was it that quiet time before the game in the locker room. ' ' Senior Greg Stieglitz, Our 1985-86 bas- ketball season was a great experience. We had a lot of fun throughout the year as we played the game and joked with each other. However, to win as many games as we did required us to be serious at times also. One of these times was in the locker room before a game. The locker room was quiet with the exception of the sounds of getting dressed. After everyone was dressed, we had a time of meditation, each person concentrating on the aspect of the game which he was expea- ed to do. This was important to bring every- one ' s thoughts together into one common goal. This mental awareness of the game was often the difference between winning and losing, and as evident in our record, it often produced a favorable outcome. Coach Martin, The individual player will go through, in his mind, some of the things he wants to accomplish, visualize shots, and things he wants to do. It lets them concen- trate, instead of letting their minds wander. If it wasn ' t helpful, I wouldn ' t do any of it. Sophomore Lance Irwin: Before a basket- ball game, during quiet time, I ' ll warm up and then do some stretching. I then talk to God and pray. I pray that He will protect our team and the opponents. I also think of what has to be done on the floor. What then about the girls ' team? Here ' s what a couple of girls thought. Junior Amy Bowers: It ' s that little extra that really helps. I really think it helps, it means a lot. I think it ' s really neat that we do that kind of thing. I feel that it kind of brings us together, more than we already are. Senior Tracy Yerks, We were just real excited, we weren ' t quiet. We were all laugh- ing, it was different from the boys because they probably weren ' t as wound up as we were. We got along really good. That ' s when We had the most fun, before the game in the locker room, thanks to Angie Gerig. While most people went to the basketball games and cheered, not many at all attended the wrestling meets. Junior Greg Brueck went to State this year and those who did attend the meets had a really great time cheering on the wrestlers. Sophomore Greg Rhodes: It gave you time to slow yourself down and it psyched you up. You ' d either get more nervous or you ' d get calmed down. Junior Gregg Brueck: It helps you to organize your thoughts. When the coach comes in and talks to you, he tells you what he saw was done in the reserve matches and what you must do in order to win. It helps to be mentally prepared for your matches. Think- ing about your match makes most of us nervous, so you try not think about your match. The locker room. That stinky room that holds so many memories for all athletes. The locker room, the place where players have towel fights and cry on each other ' s shoul- ders. It is this room that helps to make Woodlan athletes a step above the rest. 88 LOCKER ROOM LOCKER ROOM 89 A Year To Grow On Senior Angle Gerig powers up a shot against Jayne Girardot of Heritage. « ;, 4 r r V  l w i i V i J , 1 ' ii .s: . y ' mM H Taking a breather, junior Kristen Hermann trates on blocking out her opponent. Once again the Lady Warriors had a success- ful, winning season with an overall record of 13-7. The losses suffered by the girls were all of ten points or less, with the exceptions of Antwerp and DeKalb in the semi-finals of the sectional. The most rewarding loss came from the Northrop Bruins, the eventu- al State Champions by a score of 52-56. For the second time, the Lady Warriors were the ACAC champions, sharing the title with the Norwell Knights. Having lost four sen- iors last season, this year ' s team did an excel- lent job filling their spots. The Warriors had the most players named to the All -Confer- ence team this year: senior Tracy Yerks and juniors Amy Bowers and Kristen Her- mann. When asked what their opinion of the season was, a few players replied in var- ious ways. Junior Amy Bowers: This year was a good building year for us. I wish we could ' ve won the tourney, but I guess it just wasn ' t meant to be. Luckily there ' s still next year. Junior Kristen Hermann: We had a great year, but next year I ' m looking forward to being ACAC county tourney champs. Senior Angie Gerig: It had its fun times and we accomplished quite a bit. Senior Tracy Yerks: It was a successful senior year and I ' m glad I made All-Confer- ence. Front row: Mgr. Deb Martin, Sharon Frecker, Marilyn Doctor, Kerrie McNally, mgr. Joyce Smith.

The reserve team, comprised totally of soph- omores, had a winning season with a record of 10-7. The team made it to the finals of the reserve tourney to face arch rivals, the Heri- tage Patriots. The Lady Warriors fell to the Patriots by a score of 30-31. Sophomore Robin Hockemeyer had this to say about the season: We had a lot of fun and we should have a pretty good team coming up. Sophomore Marilyn Doctor said, Having all sophomores really added to our team spirit. Defense wins games as many coaches say. Sophomore Marilyn Doctor puts this theory to the tests.

Making Reaching Goals Beginning on November 1, the Woodlan Warriors prepared themselves for the up- coming season. As the season began, the team set many goals for itself. These goals included winning the first ten games of the season, winning the ACAC tourney, winning the ACAC conference undefeated, and win- ning a sectional title. The first several games of the season, the Warriors were lead by seniors Rob Geist- white and Greg Stieglitz. In these games, they faced Bellmont, Harding, and Concor- dia. These games provided valuable exper- ience and momentum that they needed to reach their first goal of winning the first ten games of the season. Having defeated the Southern Wells Raiders on the road, the Warriors went into the ACAC tourney undefeated. They faced the Raiders and beat them by a score of 84-68. Having eliminated the Norwell Knights 70- 65 in the second game, the Warriors pre- pared to meet the Carroll Chargers in the championship game. The Chargers played a slow-down offense which hampered the Warriors ' offense, but they proved victorious by winning 50-34. Rob Geistwhite commented on the tour- ney by saying, I felt grateful and relieved because it has been a long-time goal of mine to be on a winning team my senior year and to have a chance of receiving the MVP award. Having won the ACAC tourney, they met their second goal of the season. In achieving this goal, they set a school record for the most consecutive games won since the start of a season with 15 games. Improving their record to 16-0 with a win over Heritage, the Warriors went to Carroll looking to win again. Junior Scott Wilder lead the charge for the Warriors with 12 rebounds, but they lost a close one by a score of 54-56 in overtime. Regrouping and going over the basics in practice, the Warriors put their game plan back together. At Bluffton the Warriors showed that they were back and ready to play hardnose ball. They broke the school record for the most points in a game by a team with 95 and were lead by Rob Geist- white who broke the record by an individual in a game with 43. They finished the season with a record of 20-1 and were named the ACAC CO -champ with Norwell. On March 3, a brand new season began for the Warriors. It was called the sectional. In their first game of the sectional, they faced the Concordia Cadets. Scott Wilder lead the way for the Warriors with 13 rebounds. They defeated the Cadets 57-51. In the sec- ond game they beat the Bishop Dwenger Saints by a score of 83-65 with the help of Scott Wilder ' s 14 rebounds. In the cham- pionship game, they faced the Snider Pan- thers. The Panthers fought fiercely, but their effort failed as the Warriors were lead by junior Ray Mendenhall ' s ten assists, along with Rob Geistwhite ' s 19 points and Scott Reserve. Front row: Brent Doty, Lance Irwin, Tony Rekeweg, Tim Gerig, Scott Seelig, Paul Nieuwlandt, Troy Smith, Jeff Bratmiller. Under pressure, senior Greg Stieglitz shows the proper way to pass a basketball while remaining calm at the same time. Wilder ' s game high of 25 points. They won 59-56. After the game, Scott Wilder said, I am excited that we won the sectional and relieved that the pressure is off us for a few hours before we think about the regional. The Warriors were the first county school in thirty -eight years to win a Fort Wayne sec- tional. The first game of the regionals against Gar- rett was to be their last game. In this game, they couldn ' t get on track and the Rail- roaders kept them off track all night. They lost by a score of 62-64. They finished the season with a record of 23-2. Rob Geistwhite and Scott Wilder were named to the All Conference team along with honorable mention going to Greg Stieglitz and Ray Mendenhall. The Indi- ana Basketball Coaches Association honored both Greg Stieglitz and Rob Geistwhite. Greg was named honorable mention Aca- demic All -State and Rob was one of fifteen elected to the first team. As the season concluded, many goals and feats were accomplished bringing wide- spread recognition to the Warriors. Mr. Martin said, We obtained almost every goal we set for.- the kids and they set for themselves. It was just very gratifying to bring them up through the years and let them achieve those goals. Finishing the season with a winning record of 14-6, the reserve team gained valuable experience that will help them in the future. Darren Herschberger 92 BASKETBALL Varsity.

Having the spotlight on you! The typical life of a cheer- leader, right?! WRONG!! Being a cheer- leader means more than being able to put on a smile and having the ability to jump up and down. Cheerleading takes a lot of time, ef- fort, dedication, and responsibility. Cheer- leaders paint signs, organize pep sessions, decorate locker rooms, and arrange for fan buses. There were many hours of practice during the summer for the competition squad which was comprised of the varsity football and basketball cheerleaders. The squad practiced up to three hours a day. The squad compet- ed at the Three Rivers Festival Cheerleading Contest held on July 18 and at the Hicksville Fair Cheerleading Contest held on August 24. Junior Diana Malmstrom commented that, practice for competition was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it. When asked about the cheerleading season junior Schely Gerbers said, This year was a lot of fun because our squad was so close and because we worked well together. Cheerleading tryouts for the year were some- what different. Twenty-eight girls hoping to become cheerleaders tried out in front of a selected panel of judges instead of trying out in front of the student body, which had been the procedure in past years. Many girls were seen pacing the halls and biting what was left of their fingernails as they nervously awaited their turn to impress the judges. Good- luck, You ' ll do fine, and Don ' t be ner- vous, were just a few of the comments exchanged between contestants. Participants also commented that they thought the tryouts were fair instead of being the tradi- tional popularity contest. Is cheerleading still as easy as it looks .- ' Football cheerleaders.

The Woodlan faculty members are full of surprises. Yes, it ' s true, at one time or another these teach- ers of WHS were athletes, some sooner than others. The male teachers at Woodlan par- ticipated in a benefit basketball game against the Arkansas Gems. The leader of the troop was a good athlete in her day but now she was too old, under- exercised, and overweight, said player Mr. Amstutz. That just goes to show that teachers from Woodlan can do more than teach. Mr. Knape had this to say about his athletic career: Participation in sports has shown me the sacrifices and determination required for achievement. This makes high achievers very special people to me. Athletics is a big part of Woodlan with the students and also with the teachers. Mrs. Melanie Eckert, of course, a high school cheerleader.

TEACHERS IN SPORTS 99 If It ' s Worth The Time, It ' s Worth The Effort This year ' s wrestling team had a lot of desire to win. Experience was lacking, but Mr. Miesle commented |hat, Overall the year was very promising and I felt real good about it. Mr. Miesle, along with the team had a very special event occur. Mr. Miesle had his first state qualifier, junior Gregg Brueck. It was a real good experience. I was really excited. 1 feel that since Gregg has broken the ice and went to state, more wrestlers will feel that they can do it too, commented Mr. Miesle. Junior Gregg Brueck stated, It was a dream of mine to make it to state and that dream came true. It ' s such a long road to make it to state. When I look back now it ' s hard to believe I did it. This year ' s ACAC champ, junior Mike Mey- er commented, I was real happy about win- ning my weight class. I felt that throughout the year I accomplished most of my goals, but I did want to compete at state, and I will next year! Mr. Miesle ' s comment on next year ' s team: The potential is there, the talent is there, and the physical ability is there. The question is, will they have the desire and dedication to give Woodlan possibly the best team ever?

You may know all the rules of a sport but if you don ' t know the athlete you really don ' t know the sport. They compete year around in tournaments. They lift weights. They run long distances. They endure pain. Many athletes go one step beyond the call of duty; wrestlers go TWO. This they do even though there is little tecognition beyond their own immediate group. For many wrestlers, the most grueling ordeal is the almost -constant dieting needed to keep their weight down. If their weight is not down far enough after a workout they then go in Each pound is harder to shed than the last. They skimp on food, pop pitis, and once they made it through the officials weigh-in several hours before competing, they take long swigs of juice or watet and large meal. Unfortunately, this respite is brief. There is always another match coming up, always more weight to lose. I have learned much about wrestling in the last year. The wrestler who goes through calisthenics and gut-busting drills designed to hone their bodies illy strive, strive, no maner how exhausted they It around sport. Anyone who wants to be really good 2 months a year, both body and mind. But no sport better prepares the mind and body for adulthood, than WRESTLING IT ' S THE REAL THING.

The high school girls track team was a young one this year with only two seniors participating: Missy Keifer and Julie Ehle. In regular season meets, the Lady Warriors had five second places and one first place. They were also successful in the three invitational meets they competed in, receiving two third places and one seventh out of many teams. At the AC AC meet, Woodlan finished only one point behind Heri- tage, receiving a third. In this meet, sophomore Traci Bow- ditch placed second in the hurdles with a time of 16.1. Junior Kristen Hermann cleared 5 ' 2 in high jump, finishing second. Jamie Gorrell was conference champ in both the 800M and 1600M runs. The 1600M relay team, which con- sisted of Karen Gerbers, Sharon Frecker, Jenny Platter, and Jamie Gorrell, placed first. Jenny Platter set a new school record in the 400 with a time of 60.2. At sectional competition, Traci Bowditch placed sixth in the hurdles and Jenny Platter finished fifth in the 400. Kristen Hermann and Jamie Gorrell were Regional qualifiers in the high jump and 800 and 1600 runs, respective- ly. At Regionals, Jamie went on to win the 1600 M. Going to state the following week, she finished fourth. Traci Bowditch had this to say about the season: I feel that the season was very successful and Mr. Kummer was a great coach who will never be forgotten.

GIRLS TRACK 103 The boys track team finished with a record of 18 wins and 19 losses. The team placed third in the AC AC con- ference and had three individual con- ference champions. The Warriors had many strong indivi- duals including seniors Chris Fisher, Craig Riebersal, junior Shane Pari- sot, and sophomore Lynn Swing. Fisher broke the school record for 110 meter high hurdles with a time of 15.0 seconds. At the conference, Fish- er won the 400 meter dash with a time of 51.7 seconds, Riebersal won the long jump with a 29 ' 7 jump, and Parisot won the pole vault with a 13 ' 3 vault. Swing placed 4th in the discus at the conference and placed 6th at the IHSAA Sectional with a throw of 137 feet and 11 inches. Although the team will lose the lead- ership and support of their five sen- iors, the upcoming members hope to provide a promising 86-87 season.

The lack of experience and the youth of the team were the reasons for the disappointing record, according to Coach Dean Lehrman. Junior Craig Sowers was selected to the ACAC team with seven home runs. Next year the team will again be involved in the Summer Instructional League to develop and extend their skills more extensively. There were only three seniors on the team: Jeff Dela- grange, Brandy Ledbetter, and Ron Lock- ridge.

But, it all paid off when you saw the good grades come pouring in. Even the oc- casional bad grades didn ' t hold you down; you ' d just try all the harder the next time. Sure it wasn ' t the most fun thing to do. Staying up late studying. Yes, we all had those guilty feelings when we closed that government book to go to a movie or put away that list of chemistry elements to go play football with the rest of the gang. But, then there were those nights when we stayed up until one o ' clock doing algebra problems or reading our history chapter. How many nights did you fall asleep reading about . . . yawn, excuse me . . . electron clouds, WWII, the expotential law . . . and . . . zzzzz ACADEMICS 111 On This Date New! Books, tests, and class. The history department received all of these things this year. The books were for both eighth and eleventh grade classes. Every seven years the high schools receive updated versions of the text. The tests were standardized so that re- sults may be compared. Indiana Studies, the new class, was offered by Mr. Bauer. The class taught about the people and happen- ings of Indiana and Allen county. The eighth grade class was also taught by Mr. Bauer. Scotty Peters, eighth grader, said, Mr. Bauer is an O.K. kind of guy and he is the best history teacher I ' ve ever had. The class learned about who and what cre- ated the United States since the days of Columbus. Mr. Bauer took his students to the Old Fort, Lincoln Museum, and to In- dianapolis, and said, I like field trips be- cause it gives my students a chance to see and experience things that otherwise might be missed. The eleventh grade class was instructed by Mr. Knape. The students learned about everything conceivable, including baseball and other topics. Mr. Knape not only tried to teach history, but how to live. Mr. Knape took 50 students from junior history and from senior government to Washington D.C. for a day full of sightseeing and learn- ing. The group went to the White House, Ford ' s Theatre, the National Archieves, Ca- pitol Hill, Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, Smithsonian Institute, and the Jeffer- son and Lincoln Memorials. Brett Motter, a junior, said, I found the whole trip was a lot of fun and saw a lot of neat places.

Class is almost over! whispers sophomore Scott Symeler and freshman Jenny Finan to the slowly fading Sonya Stevens. Taking time out of class to pose for the camera, are juniors Susan Ridgeway, Brad Bowditch, and sophomores Stephanie Habegger, and (back) Greg Rhoades. In many classes at Woodlan High School, you can hear things such as: This is boring! I wish I were home. Why do we do this? Most teachers understood what the student meant and tried to make the class more enjoyable. One such case happened with Honors Eng- lish class. Mrs. Willinger had the idea, that instead of making her English class spend the entire year in the classroom, she would take the class to Chicago to see the musical Cats. Sophomore Denise Beach said, It was really good. Everybody enjoyed it. Mrs. Willinger commented on the stu- dents ' behavior. They were great! They couldn ' t have behaved any better. The only regret that Mrs. Willinger had was that the students didn ' t have enough time to enjoy themselves. She also expects more of these trips in the future. Other English teachers also tried to make their classes more enjoyable. We learned a lot in our class, stated sophomore Carol Hughes, but we also had a lot of fun. Besides having fun in English, students did learn the required things. There will always be grammar and literature for the students to look forward to. 114 HONORS ENGLISH Showing his excitement for English class is junior Brad i Bowditch. Mrs. Furman gives guidance to her English class on Julius Caesar. ENGLISH 115 Mr. Mull has been the government and economic teacher for the last three years and has learned to implement many practices and activities that benefit the students later in life. Guest speakers from Junior Achievement were invited into economics classes to illus- trate how a business is run and operated. After the speaker had talked to the students several times, they tried to set up a business of their own and manage it. In their imagi- nary business, the students bought and sold products to compete with other teams, just like in a real business situation. They learned the laws of supply and demand through op- erating a company in a competitive market. Senior Steve Sisson had this to say about his team: The superior management of the Jerome ' s Shoes dominated over all in fifth period. The types of government, the power of the President, the significance of the Congress, and the powers of each legislative branch were some of the major areas covered in government. After completing this class, senior Tim Tuggle said, I feel this class will help me to understand political matters better in the future. Miss Schaefer, a new teacher, took over the sociology and psychology classes. She graduated from Indiana University in 1977 with a degree in sociology. At East Allen County Schools, she taught as a substitute teacher for two years before coming to Woodlan. Interrelationships, religion, economics, fam- ily, values, and the beliefs of social groups on society were some of the major items covered in sociology. Several students com- mented that sociology has helped them to understand themselves and how others func - Several issues were discussed in Miss Schaefer ' s psychology classes. These issues included the influences of society on a per- son, behavior of a person, and the cause of action of a person. The psychology class was taken up to the developmental center in Fort Wayne to gain a first-hand learning exper- ience. Returning from the trip, senior Julie Rosswurm had this to say; They are real Years Of Experience people, tool The students of the social science depart- ment benefited by the discussing of major issues in class, activities that provided learn- ing experiences and field trips that they went on.

SOCIAL SCIENCES in First Full Load Mrs. Deetz has had her hands full because she has taken over all of the Home Ec. classes on her own, because Mrs. Wilson was no longer teaching those types of classes. Some of the major classes taken by the students included foods, clothing, interior design, and family relations. Students in foods class wrote to famous people asking questions about their diets. Junior Jan Delagrange wrote to I.U. basketball player Steve Alford. Jan commented, I was glad to see that Steve Alford wrote back to me telling me about his diet. The class also received letters from the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and others. Making shirts, skirts, pajamas, and other garments were some of the things that the students did in clothing class. Eighth grader Amy Goodspeed said, I liked the class a lot. I needed to learn how to se, so it will help me in my future. Other students in interior design learned about such things as colors, planning color schemes, learning how to design homes and individ - ual rooms and learning how to use their imagination to create their own designs. Senior Stephanie Baker had this to say about the class, I like it a lot. It will be beneficial to me in my future because I will be majoring in interior design. Students in family relations learned how to cope and deal with different family situations that occur now and possibly in the future when they are married. Senior Lori Avery commented, It was an interesting class. It helped me to learn about the sitution that I will face when I have a family of my own. The main project that the students did in this class was planning their own wedding. Junior Lynda Grams had this to say: I liked it a lot; it was very informing. It helped me to deal with family situations that are occurring now. I also learned how to plan for my own wedding, which I really liked because before this class I never knew what was involved in planning for a wedding. Never having had to teach this many classes in one day, Mrs. Deetz often found it to be too much for her as a teacher and for the students. Mrs. Deetz still found it a challenge. She even comment- ed, I enjoy it a lot, and it ' s where I belong. Mrs. Deetz tries to think of a good answer to give to seventh grader Jill Closson. 118 HOME ECONOMICS Seventh grader Nichelle Potts pays close attention, while classmate Jill Closson sits daydreaming. Seventh graders often help each other out if they have any problems in their homework. HOME ECONOMICS 119 Science Trek Science . . . these were the voyages of Woodlan ' s science department on a never- ending quest to mold the student mind with chemistry, biology, and physics. Chemistry offered three classes: practical chemistry. Chemistry I, and Chemistry II. When asked about chemistry, junior Mark Schuller said, Sometimes it ' s interesting and soph- omore Scott Swymeler said, It ' s alright, but I don ' t like it. Biology offered a new class, plant science, to be taken after Biology I and II. Junior Debi Pulver said, The class was fun. Physics was offered to seniors and taught them about heat, velocity, and mo- tion problems and applications. Kevin Brown, senior, commented, The class was very interesting. Sophomore Blake Hoeppner looks puzzlingly at the dissected worm. Keith Brown, senior, reads Slave Women of Gor during physics class. 120 SCIENCE Debi Pulver and Jan Delagrange, juniors, and Angie Gerig and Tracy Yerks, seniors, work feverishly during plant science.

SCIENCE 121 The Queen Of Sciences 122 MATH Math . , . the modern world couldn ' t exist without it, said Mr. Baulkey. From general math to calculus and trigonometry, students learned about simple addition and subtrac- tion problems to circular and linear func- tions. This year was the last for the advanced eighth graders in the freshman algebra pro- gram. Steve Hammond, eighth grader, was disappointed and said, I think they should continue the opportunity for eighth graders to participate in freshman algebra, because Woodlan doesn ' t offer enough programs for the gifted. M. Rohrbacher said that the class was discontinued because the Board of Education of East Allen Schools wanted all of the schools to offer equal class opportu- nities, and Woodlan was the only one to offer the accelerated math class. Brett Mot- ter, a junior, said, Mr. Baulkey is a good teacher that understands our problems and makes us learn the math. John Knoblavch Mr. Baulkey exclaims, Vosch-Vosch- Messerschimdt to his seventh period analytics class. MATH 123 Let ' s Get Physical! This was the first year for the advanced P.E. classes. Mr. Martin commented that the reason for the advanced class this year was because of the seven period day. There was enough time to have it, along with at least five periods, commented Mr. Martin. Sen- ior Stephanie Baker had this to say about advanced P.E.: A lot of people thought it was a blow off class, but it wasn ' t, especially for the girls. We had to do the same things as the guys. The gym classes played Miami murder, Softball, basketball, volleyball, kiU- ball, shuffle board, and ping-pong, and the obstacle course was a challenge to all.

No, it ' s not all farming, said junior Jeremy Grubaugh. Ag can help a person become involved in many careers such as mechanics, engineering, farming, aeronau- tics, and forestry management. The group had two main money makers during the year. One such project was the fruit sale and another was the seed sale. These projects helped to pay for trips to conventions and judgings around the state. Mr. Grubaugh is searching for his papers while eighth graders Niles Schwartz, Eric Zell, and Shadd Miser try to help. The Ag department was involved in various contests during the year which included public speaking, parliamentary procedures, demonstrations, proficiency awards, judging meats and dairy. Teams were also used in areas such as crops, entomology, forestry, floriculture, and landscaping. The Ag members also had to travel to many different events throughout the state of Indi- ana and to Missouri. Floats were designed for area parades, and the state convention was held at Purdue University. The Ag de- partment also went to the state fair at In- dianapolis and to the National Convention at Kansas City, Missouri. Vocational Agriculture is more than just farmers and tractors; it can broaden a career and make a person more aware of their own environment. Dru Delagrange 126 VO.

It means common understanding, common ideas, and common ideals — Robert M. Hutchins. The speech, drama, mass media, and jour- nalism classes were all focused on different ways to communicate. The students learned many ways of conveying information to an audience. They learned to walk, talk, speak, and write effectively and correctly. Speech, a course often feared by many, was found to be a fun class. Most of the students enjoyed speech after a few weeks, once they relaxed and got to know each other. Senior Doug Amburgey commented, I learned about eye contact and voice intonation. I liked doing the comedy speeches, but my favorite ones were the informative speeches. Drama taught students the fundamentals of the theatre and acting. Different types of acting; monologues, group and individual presentations, and pantomime were some of the things that Mrs. Eckert covered. A pro- fessional clown gave the class a presentation and spoke about putting on stage makeup. It was great. Drama taught me a lot about acting and expressing individuality! was sophomore Julie Miller ' s response. Sophomores Julie Miller and Jennifer McClure demonstrate their acting abilities. Yuck!

Mass media covered communication on a large-scale basis. Television and radio broadcasting terms and functions were fo- cused upon. WPTA-TV, 21 Alive, allowed the students to have a tour of the station. We saw how a television station was run. It was an interesting class; we learned a lot about sending information to people effec- tively, said junior Justin Byerley. Journalism was offered for those students interested in writing. We got to be reporters and interview the staff and students, said Amy Yoder, a junior. The Pow Wow and Arrow staffs took two field trips, one to IPFW and the other to Ball State University, where the young journalists attended semi- nars covering many aspects of producing a publication. Senior Christy Meek replied that she enjoyed being the yearbook editor. I ' ve learned a lot that will help me in the future, Cissy Ely, a junior on the Pow Wow staff, said adding that she learned to communicate better with people.

Do You Speak Spanish? Muy bien classe, como estas? — and the year began. The new year had dawned, and students new and old were once again gathered to- gether to study the culture of Mexico. As the days flew by, new skills were practiced and learned. Both juniors Robin Quinn and Susan Ridgway agreed that Spanish was a fun class and we enjoyed the language. This year Mrs. Fickle ' s main focus for her four Spanish classes was language. Not only did they learn new gram- mar and vocabulary, but they also practiced speaking Spanish. Soph- omore Carol Hughes comment- ed, This year was harder. We did a lot more oral stuff. And oral stuff they did: plays, skits, speech- es, all helped to add to their skills in communication. When asked of her feelings, junior Kym Camp- bell noted, It was different this year because of the split class, but I still learned a lot. All in all, the year went smoothly. In November The fearless profesora Mrs. Fickle stands before her class. Exchange student Margarite del Valle shows us her cheerful smile. Margarita del Valle arrived for her seven -month visit with Wood- lan High School. She stayed with freshman Kristi Hamlin and commented, I like it a lot here, because everyone is nice to me. Margarita came from Mexico City, Mexico, and turned 18 on May 4. Together Margarita and Mrs. Fickle helped the Spanish classes along in their study of the Spanish culture. Between tests and homework, Spanish students par- ticipated in other activities. Throughout the year they sold li- cense plates, had Spanish T-shirts days, played Spanish ■ ' Scrabble, went on field trips, and generally had fun. As sophomore Scott Burkhart put it, Spanish has its ups and downs, but basically it ' s fun to learn about it. To add a finishing touch to their year, the Spanish classes concluded with the annual trip to Bandido ' s. Sohomore Elise Rosswurm is at it again. Meanwhile her fellow classmates work on. 130 SPANISH Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Do you Speak German? Guten Tag, welcome to German class. This year Mr. Holt and his students once again explored the culture and customs of Ger- many. As usual, German was a tough sub- ject, and students had to study and work hard to succeed. Freshman Angie Baker commented, I think it is kinda ' harder to- wards the end. You have to study more than other classes in order to understand it. Nev- ertheless, those who did, received a unique experience. Not only did they learn a foreign language, but they also had fun doing it. When asked how he felt, sophomore Mike Delagrange added that Mr. Holt has a good way of teaching. He makes it informal and makes it fun. Mr. Holt made the task of learning fun with skits, discussions, field trips and different foods. Freshman Katrina Webster quoted that German was hard, but I still had fun. This year seniors Till Dreier and Bernd Selzer came to visit the Woodlan German class. Both guys were from Germany and seemed to fit in nicely to Woodlan life. When asked if he liked it here. Till rephed, Yes, of course, I like the American way of life, and the Americans themselves, which I consider to be very hon- est and friendly. Towards the end of the year the German students participated in the Foreign Language Day. During this time, students attempted to speak German the en- tire day. This was a challenge, as sophomore Beth Calhoun pointed out, It was hard to talk in German to people who were talking Spanish, and then try to understand.

The Spirit of Woodlan worked hard since the month of August to get ready for foot- ball season and field marching contests. Spirit of Woodlan practiced four to six hours a day from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., then from 6:00 p.m. till 8:00 p.m. in August. When school started they started practicing at 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. making the morning start early for band and drill team members. The first field marching contest the Spirit attended was the Homestead Invitational on September 28th, where they only received a participation award, dropping from the 3rd place award they received last year. Sopho- more Keri York said, We were ready for it, but weren ' t as good as the other bands . Then it was the District competition at Nor- throp, on October 5th, where they received a first division rating, placing third overall. This allowed them to go on to the Regionals held in Kokomo, on October 19th. Band and Drill team members were all excited. Mr. Snider commented, I was thrilled; now I could hope for a first at Kokomo . While sophomore Tonya Holsopple said, Now we have to get a first at Kokomo, so we can make it to state . They had two weeks before the regionals to work harder than they had ever worked. They even had night practices from 6:00 p.m. till 8:30 p.m. so the whole band could be there, and so they could become better. Senior Doug Amburgey, commented, We ' re going to make it to state. Many of the band mem- bers had the same thought. Then came Friday morning ' s practice, the last practice that the band would be able to have. Everyone was so excited and tired from all the early and night practices, but all were still willing to practice. Senior Gordon Miller said, I knew that the band still needed some practice, and I was willing to practice so we could hopefully make it to state. Friday ' s practice went great. Mr. Snider even commented, With that kind of performance I know you can get a first and make it to state . Senior Cheryl Nicole said, That made me feel good to hear that from Mr. Snider. Spirit of Woodlan mem- bers were excited all day, and were starting to get nervous. Senior Janet McKinley, the drum major, said Tm so excited I can ' t wait to perform . Then came Saturday morning; the two weeks of hard practicing and prep- aration were over. Now it was time to see if all the hard work would pay off The buses left at 6:45 a.m. for Kokomo, with band members hoping to come home with a first. While some students slept, others talked, or listened to their walkman radios. The busride left something to be desired. With a flat tire on 1-69, going 80 miles out of the way, having to change clothes on the bus while rushing to get to Kokomo, and arriving about an hour late because of taking a short cut, the band rushed around not getting anytime to warm-up or practice routines. When the performance was over, the band had to wait in suspense for the results to be given. When the Spirit of Woodlan ' s name came on the air, everyone was silent and praying that they would receive a first. Then the announcement was over; the Spirit had only received a second, missing a first by 35 hundredths of a point. Some cried while others were speechless. Senior Conrad Hol- sopple said, I thought it stunk. When you ' re not able to have a warm-up and practice, and having to be rushed like we were, made a big difference. It wasn ' t fair. Junior Mindy McCracken had this to say about it: I thought it stunk too. If we could have had the time for preparation, I really think we could have made it. The bus ride home for some was a depress- ing one. Working so hard for a first and to have fallen short by that much was really upsetting, especially for some of the seniors, while the others got over it quickly thinking they would do it next year. On the following Monday, Mr. Snider commented, The bus ride on the way down and everything else that happened before we performed might have been a factor in our performance, but it ' s over now and I just want you to know that in my book you rank a FIRST! After winning the sectionals, senior Conrad Holsop- ple shows his spirit by playing Wifje-Out at the pep session. 132 BAND Band Drill Team Showing off her talent, senior Janet McKinley directs the Spirit of Woodlan at a home football Front row: Sean Couse, Conrad Holsopple, Rebecca Deetz, Paul Rich, Jayne Delagrange, Damon Muzzy, Lance Gustin.

As the year began, the seventh and eighth graders soon found themselves working on projects from water paints to hot air balloons, paper airplane contest and egg tosses. When asked if he liked art, sev- enth grader Matt Eberly replied, I liked it. It was fun making the kites and all the other neat projects. As everyone worked, students soon found out that art class could be fun. On up into the high school level, for the first nine weeks the students focused on com- merical art. In March, students participated in the News Sentinel ' s annual Design and Ad Contest, and quite a few won. Beth Cal- houn, Bobbi Jo Schmucker, Angie Mill- er, Tina Burkhart, Marjorie Graber, Tracie Irick and Stephanie Habegger re- ceived $25 and their ads ran in a special section of the paper. Throughout the year, Mr VanHorn ' s students worked in various areas of art from ink to clay. When asked how she felt about art, junior Deb Haney replied, It ' s fun, but it can be disappointing when your projects don ' t turn out. Sopho- more Nikki Delagrange in turn added her comments when she replied, Art was quite an interesting experience this year, from pink paint to Van Horn ' s crazy smock! In April when the school musical Guys and Dolls rolled around, the art class jumped into ac- tion to aid in creating and painting the sets. It was a tough job, but with the help of a few dedicated students, they pulled it off. All in all the year progressed smoothly. Despite a few minor catastrophies, sophomore Cheryl Legg felt that Art was a fun class, because there was something new every day. The year flew by and Trena Justice summed it all up when she commented, I feel that I have learned a lot in just one year, I ' m look- ing forward to another year.

This year the seventh graders each had their chance to visit room 125 and discover the world of music. Music ' s history and how it was made, the composers and their instruments; put it all together and you have music class. When asked how she felt about her experiences with music, sev- enth grader Kristi Nicholls commented, I thought it was easy and I liked it. In addi- tion to the background of music. Miss Delhi ' s students who also learned songs like Woodlan ' s theme song and the Indiana State song. Seventh grader Cory Lengacher thought that Sometimes it was boring, but I really did learn a lot. With tests and work- sheets, students learned musical terms and their meanings. For the most part, seventh grader Lloyd Graber felt that It ' s o.k., but the tests were sorta hard. However some students found music class enjoyable. Among them was seventh grader Kalynn Childs who commented, I liked it. I liked learning about the synthesizers. After it was all over, students hopefully emerged from class with a better understanding for the sounds of music. Miss Deihl sits and mentally prepares for next period.

MUSIC 135 Business Points To Future Business law, office procedures, typing, and accounting: classes to prepare you for the future. Out of all the business classes offered at Woodlan, typing was the most popular. Freshman Troy Hege commented, I had a lot of fun learning in this class. Students learned the basic skills for typing. Sopho- more Robin Hocketneyer said, I thought it was an easy class, but I did learn a lot. Along with typing, another class was busi- ness law. Junior Mindy McCracken com- mented, The things I like best about this class was learning mainly about crimes and businesses. In this class students learned mostly about law for future careers. Junior Shawn Axson said, Now when I look for a career in business, I will know a little more about it. Another class involved with business was office procedures. One student commented that It will help me prepare for a secretarial field and future office work. All kinds of skills were learned by students who took this class and several said they will benefit in the future. One student commented, It was a lot of fun. We learned lots of different skills. Accounting was also included with business. Junior Brett Motter commented, It ' s a fun class, but at the same time the student learns a lot in there because of the way Mr. Kum- mer relates the subject to us. In this class students could learn about accounting and how it would help them in the future. Not only were the business classes fun and exciting, but they helped prepare students for the future. ami Hughes 136 BUSINESS Denise Beach Mr. Pierson lectures on, while junior Amy Bowers thinks to herself about the weekend ahead.

With the new seven period day, clubs were told that they had to meet after school hours. The number of sponsored clubs soon dropped because several underclassmen had no way of finding rides and upperclassmen had to work around jobs and sports. Although participation did fall, many still found the clubs worth while enough to go to the meetings and participate in various club activities. Clubs such as FFA, FHA, German, and Spanish flourished with a variety of ac- tivities. Students enjoyed a Spanish German Day, FHA initiation, and an FFA steak fry. CLUBS 139 Dedication To Academics Rewarded Leaders . . . Dedicated . . . Honorable . . . These are some of the words used to de- scribe the members of the Woodlan Honor Society. On April 21, the old members pre- sented medals to the happy and sometimes surprised new members. Seventeen new members were inducted into the society this year. These students were chosen by teachers rec- ommendation and as a result of their grades held throughout high school. A banquet was held in their honor to congratulate them for their outstanding work in academics.

Leadership Shines Through rtz, Kristy Irwin, Lori Ritenour, Linda The 25 members of the student council vi- gorously attacked the job of planning activi- ties fof the student body. The student coun- cil sponsoted the Homecoming and Christ- mas dances as well as the MORP, bringing in a profit of approximately $500 from each dance. Commenting on the dances, council member senior Stephanie Miller said, I think attendance was down because of the new Rock America. A community project they planned was for the benefit of the area senior citizens — the Christmas luncheon. The council members served and chatted with the guests. Accord - ing to senior Janet McKinley, There was a good response. One problem the student council encountered this year was lack of time to plan and organize, explained senior Michele Amstutz. Overall, the leadership of the council shined through. Freshmen Julie Yoder and Brad Ahlersmeyer decide punishments for inattentive council members. STUDENT COUNCIL i4i Juniors Plan Prom Plans for the 1986 Junior -Senior prom were started in September with the annual junior magazine drive. The junior class raised over four thousand dollars by selling magazines to their families, friends, and community. Junior Jan Delagrange commented that, Selling magazines took a lot of time, but it was worth It because the prom turned out really well. The actual meetings of the prom committee started in March. Juniors that wished to participate signed up and served on designated committees. The theme of the prom was Tonight it ' s You. The prom was held at the Holiday Inn. The band that played was the Edge. Junior Jan Delagrange eats lunch while concentrating on the prom committee meeting.

The teams were no longer given time to work on problems during the school day as they had been in past years. The students who were willing to dedicate themselves to the program met at homes on weekends and after school. Mrs. Hey took the position of sponsor having no other ex- perience dealing with FPS. Mrs. Hey com- mented that, There just wasn ' t enough time for the teams to get organized since there were no seminar periods this year. The problems that the teams did work on were Artificial Intelligence and Feeding the World. Two teams were able to each com- plete at least one of the two problems. The team of Brian Brenneke, Steve Ham- mond, Jackie Mann, and Tonya Steinman worked primarily on the problem of Artifi- cial Intelligence while the team of Teresa Wagler, Sonja Stevens, Jeff Clayton, and Matt DeLong worked on the problem of Feeding the World FPS 143 FFA Excells Can you find senior Missy Keifcr among the kinder- garteners.- ' Front row; Valerie Legg, Chris Bauer, Scott Worden, Brian Bradtmueller, Brad Singer, Steve Keele, Doug Werling, Gary Sefton, Andy Scheiderer, Jeremy Gru- baugh.

Woodlan High School ' s FFA had a very successful year in contests and judgings. June 21, 1985 marked the first activity of the chapter. The officers were chosen within the District, and senior Matt Rekeweg was chosen District III President and junior Jer- emy Grubaugh was elected Treasurer and State Band Librarian. The first contest the chapter competed in was the Horticulture judging contest in which they placed second in the state. In the Floriculture, and the Nursery and Landscape contests, the FFA placed second in the state. The chapter also took first place in the state, in the Mechanics Contest. At the district contests the FFA placed first in nine areas and in proficiencies they placed first in seven areas. The Woodlan FFA ranked number two in the district and fourth in the state. The National FFA Convention was held at Kansas City, Missouri. On November 15, 1985, senior Shayne Ulmer was named the National Runner -Up in the Specialty Animal Production Proficiency. The Dairy Foods team placed tenth in the nation and the Farm Business Management team placed seventh in the nation. According to junior Chris Bauer, she liked FFA because It gives us an opportunity to grow and be involved with others. Also senior Curt Hadley remarked, FFA is a group of young individuals work- ing together to promote leadership, cooper- ation, and personal development. The Woodlan FFA chapter had a very successful year, and as junior Jeremy Grubaugh summed it up, The Woodlan FFA promises future success in the field of agriculture. 144 FFA Senior Dan Krinn, freshman Mark Rekeweg, and seniors Matt Rekeweg and Andy Kurtz pose while manning a booth for Ag Day at Southtown Mall.

They had two banquets: Daddy Date Night, which was when the members asked their fathers to a formal dinner and a square dance, and the Rose Banquet, which was when officers for the next year were in- stalled. They had many other activities dur- ing the year. We do a lot of fun activities. Like a person came in and figured out what colors looked good on a person and what ' season ' that person was, senior Kim Farm- er said. On November 20, Mrs. Ehle, from Country Kitchen, came to the FHA meeting and demonstrated how to make Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas candy. Sophomore Jenny Voirol thought this about FHA: I enjoy it because you get to meet a lot of different people. Before Christmas, FHA made cookies for the teach- ers. I thought that it was a very nice ges- ture, commented Mrs. Eckert. Junior Donna Nott said this about the FHA spon- sor Mrs. Deetz: She ' s nice and fun to be around. In the spring, the FHA along with the FFA had their annual kindergarten tours. Sponsor Mrs. Deetz said, FHA helps the girls to prepare for their future — both in their home and in their career. Everybody is a homemaker, no matter what career they choose.

They are very, very vital; we would go un- der without them. In this area it ' s a must. That ' s what Mrs. Moennig thought about the library workers. These people gave up studyhalls or took student service as a class, and sometimes it was a lot of work. Mrs. Chaney said, They were a big help, they did the mail, answered the phone, and were good gophers. However, sometimes it was a lot of fun. Junior Penny Koch had this to say about being an attendance worker: It was fun, I liked it, and I liked Mrs. Fry. Mrs. Fry commented about the attendance workers: They were so much fun; I got very close to them. I couldn ' t have gotten along without them. During the flu epidemic, they were invaluable. Throughout the year, these people worked hard and had lots of fun. They performed important duties in the library, clinic, office, and attendance office. They helped the fac- ulty make Woodlan a step above the rest. Brad Bowditch Clinic workers. Front row: Julie Ehle, Peggy Coomer, Joyce Brown, Jenny Voirol. Row 2: Kris Heiber, Virginia King.

WORKERS 147 Where ' s The It ' s not bad, but it ' s not a life of glamour either. One has to put up with complaining from the team, smelly clothes, and making sure the team has everything for away games or meets. One also has to wash those smelly clothes and listen to the team argue if there is a stain. Sounds like fun. ' ! Take away all that and it is fun, especially when you get another friend to be a manager. You can catch up on all of the gossip. It ' s also an- other way to stay involved in a team sport, remarked sophomore Deb Martin. The managers, the people that willingly take all the abuse that goes along with being a manager. They are yelled at, complained to, made fun of, and they still do their duties without complaining. Coach Kummer had this to say about the managers, Extraordinary! Managers for athletic teams perform many duties that greatly benefit the team and coaches. It takes a special person to be a manager, and they deserve a ' great big thank you ' from every- one associated with the team, was what Coach Delong thought about the manag- ers. Senior Gilbert Aliceai I feel that it was the most dedicated thing that I have ever done. A lot of times I could have just quit, but I enjoyed every game and took pride in being part of such a great team as the basketball team of my senior year. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot of responsibility from it, and a lot of patience. I ' ll never forget it! So managers. Thank you! Thank you for being a manager, taking the abuse, and do- ing all the work that goes along with being a manager. These two pages are for you, to try and give you the recognition that you de- serve. It takes a person who is a step above the rest to be a manager. So athletes, stop and think the next time before you scream at a manager. Without them, you might be getting the water.
