Title page 1 As usual, these yearbook weirdos have come up with some theme we don ' t understand. You mean you don ' t get it? Oh, like you do? Sure. Think about it. US - get it? Yeah, now that you said it that way. Of course I don ' t get it. Look stupid, think about this year. It was US all along... ...purchasing $25 sweatshirts with the sleeves ripped ■ off so we could be in style... ...cussing the computers when they blurted Syntax Error for no known reason to man... ...waiting for the 500 lb. club to evacuate the weightroom so we could bench our 100 lb. limit - in the privacy of our own weakness... ...not waking in the shower, not waking on the bus, but waking to the slap in the face of the retina-burning, optic nerve-damaging, flourescent yellow lockers... .. .bypassing a high caloric lunch when on diets, only to invade the vending machines for a Suzy Q and Diet Pepsi... Now do you get it? With a continuing tradition in Tiger Pride, Seniors Angie Arthur and Teresa Mills back their favorite player, Gary Johnson, at the New Palestine battle for semi-state in the AA football berth. The Tigers went on to capture their first regional vic- tory, 14-7, to the delight of the players and fans alike. The football team, however, did not make it to the top without a few mis- takes. Senior quarterback Scott Francoeur either realizes a strategic error or he wants V-8 at the Homecoming game against Centerville in yet another Tiger victory. Opening la Ml Oh, sure I think so. You mean all of the things we did that set US apart from the rest like... ...setting the scene for a Harlequin Romance novel in our lockerbays, with couples using passing periods for making passes... ...filing into McDonald ' s to shovel down more and still more of the over 40 billion served, or just to get a 15 f glass of water... ...taking bets on what ' s for lunch without looking at the menu before going through the line... ...juggling the file cards and TI-35 ' s that never fit comfortably atop our 8x10 college prep books... ...practicing at the crack of dawn to fulfill our daily ' mega ' lap requirements for Swim Coach Ettl. . . .and staying up all night, studying for tests, practicing for plays and complaining to your best friend about not ever getting anything accomplished. You got it! You got the whole theme idea! Yeah, and what ' s more, I ' ve got a condensed look at a year when Yorktown students Never Looked So US! Sometimes that Tiger Pride just wasn ' t enough to satisfy the hard work and dedication the students put into their activities. Band members Pam Somers, Maura Walsh, and Kim Kimbrough were not necessarily pleased with only a seventh place finish in the State Band Competition, nor was Tiger Okeley of the Varsity Football team appeased when 1 ranked Chatard took the Tigers in their first semi-state game on the Tiger field. But these disappointments were minimal when compared to the character building outcome that resulted in all of the trials of labor and love that preceeded the actual event. Opening t Jj k l us VRING THE YEAR NBC ' s The Day After was not only a televi- sion special-but a national event. Forums, news and talk shows all discussed the probability of a nuclear war and its devastating results. Check out Yorktown students ' reactions, complete with sur- vival tips. I The Christmas spirit of giving was present this year as Yorktown students were treated to a Christmas convocation-made up of all faculty talent. I Happy Birthday to you-an event worth remembering in unique ways by Managing Editor birthdays Unsuspiciously feasting on the birthday cake your friends so generously baked for you, a jolly greeter with a fistful of balloons serenades you with a birthday song. Some find it a bit embarrassing, especially when they ' re from dear old Mom, but when a group of friends remember your birthday and let the whole lunch room know it at the same time-it ' s kind of special. When the balloon man asked for me, I got rather embarrassed. But it was great afterwards because everyone knew it was my birthday, admitted Sophomore Phil Starsky. This year ' balloon giving ' became the fad for birthday gifts. For ten bu cks you can purchase a bouquet of balloons and a song for that birthday person in your life. The balloon man traveled to Tiger Country 36 times during this 83-84 school year to contribute in the celebrating of birthdays for Yorktown students. Birthday boy Dave Tanner receives a hug, a song and a fistful of balloons from the birthday clown on one of the many visits to our lunchroom. During the year The Day before the Day after A hypothetical situation. It ' s third hour and a basic ordinary day in November. The monotonous class atmosphere is shattered by the shaky voice of Dr. Secttor. He blurts out something about a nuclear bomb hitting the Delaware County area in 24 hours. What are you going to do? The definition of a nuclear holocaust was always in the back of our minds, but when a television depiction of a bomb showed the destruction of a small Kansas town, the defini- tion then became a reality. After the airing of The Day After, the question rang through our halls and class- rooms-What would you do? There would be nothing you could do, answered Senior Mark McKibben. Seniors Steph Bean and Bret Goodpaster agreed they would be with loved ones. Some took the matter in a lighter fashion. Jokingly, Scott Francoeur, senior, said he would ...order 100,000 White Cas- tles. On a serious note, Mrs. Joan Campbell admitted she would ...go to church with my family. Others didn ' t know exactly what they would do. What would you do if there was A day before the day after? 1, ft J t Double trouble in the form of Poetry Readers Dean Keith Spurgeon and Principal Jerome Secttor, along with Bag Dancers from the front office, Millie Barnhart and Jessie Odom perform during the Christmas Convocation. What would you do? What would YOU do if faced with the knowledge of a nuclear holocaust on a 24 hour notice? Following the television movie, The Day After, on a similiar theme, stu- dents, along with virtually thousands of TV viewers nationwide, battled with the reality of nuclear warfare during our lifetime. Start Digging. -Rick Harris, 12 Say goodbye to all of my friends and get married - quick! -Cheyneen Carpenter, 12 £ Rob a bank, so if it didn ' t happen I ' d be rich. -John Miller, 12 There is nothing you could do, but keep yourself busy and wait for it. -Mark McKibben, 12 Spend the day with my family... it ' s hard to say. -Charlie Owens, teacher Jay Ettl as Cinderfella delights the auditorium of students as the faculty band drummer Charlie O, trumpeter Rick Thomas and first chair and only chair flutist Joan Campbell, play a rousing rendition of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. During the year 7 Michael Jackson sets all of the ' records ' in the music industry, as he sails to super Stardom at age 25. m Editor Amy Hammersley takes a look at Video-Mania in 1 984 both on the Tube and on the Big Screen, to find that Seeing is truely Believing! Midnight Movie Madness abounds for Yorktowners as Rocky Horror Picture Show with its toasts and verbal insults tops the list of perenial favorites. intertainment takes over as York- dents were treated this fall to Junior Todd ' Elvis ' Walker ' s perfor- mance at Fall Preview, and to Free Fare ' s rock hits convocation. Entertainment Did ya hear? Did ya? Laura ' s back. No-seriously? Yeah, and the Beaver got Wally grounded for not raking the leaves. Boy, was Ward hot. Ask anybody what was on TV last night and you ' ll get a complete rundown of listings. What gets us so wrapped up in that tube? What makes a person like Senior Kim Guinn bring in her set so she won ' t miss an episode of General Hospital while working after school? What makes us rush home to catch the Brady Bunch in action for the 526 time? ...it ' s easy to do. says Senior Melinda Blanch. For less than $10 a month a person can water anything from George Carlin to a French che: on various channels. Home Box Office (Channel 3) is the only channel I watch, admitted Senior Debbie Moore. Senior Angie Rosinski stated, Whenever I ' m faced with cleaning, I watch television. From tear jerkers to comedies, the shows keep us tuning in to see if Gilligan changes clothes, All My Children were adopted, or Mr. T. gets a cramp. When you ' re sitting at home with mom and dad, watching a documentary on plastics, you know it ' s time to cut loose and head to the local movie theatre. Movies are a cheap form of entertainment for dates and friends, admitted Junior Brian Wilson. This year students had a tough time getting into movies if they were under 17, but once they got in there was a couple hours of entertainment for a reduced student rate - $2. For two bucks, we were repulsed by Scar- face, saddened by Terms of Endearment, and humored by 48 Hours. Senior Jenni Spears, who saw Terms of Endearment with her mother and sister agreed, Everybody cried. For a couple of bucks, we could throw rice at Kocky horror Picture Show, we could be in the house that held bleeding walls mAmityvilie 3 in 3-D, and we could stay up until two in the morning with al! of the late night movies. Sophomore Brian Marsh enjoyed Sudden Impact, with Clint Eastwood, because it ' s the only one I saw... Michael Jackson thrilled many Yorktown students who beat it home to catch the 3 o ' clock world premiere of his 14 minute Thriller video on MTV. The video, costing approximately $1 million was wild as described by Junior Pam Fullen- wider, It was the best video this year. Music jumped in with television this year to produce shows like Friday Night Videos, Nightraks and stations like MTV and RTV into the lives of many students. What makes the videos more exciting than regular radio is you can see what ' s going on in the song, stated Junior Laraine Snider. Countless weekends were spent in front of the tube with hit videos like Girls on Film, by Duran Duran; The Police ' s Synchronicity; Foolin ' , by Def Leppard, and Sharp Dressed Man, by ZZ Top, to name a few. I can ' t say which is my favorite; they ' re all excellent, stated Senior Tony Brown. What do you do? After the Game  After watching John- ny play basketball, I like to go to Mc- Donalds with him. -Chris St. John, 10 f like to relax at McDonalds with a Big Mac and fries! -Greg Miller, 10 6 enjoy just staying at home watching videos with Tommy. -Stacy Whaley, 9 — i like to go to dances and have a good time with my friends. -Hinda Mitchel, 10 Midnight Movies It ' s Friday night and you ' re bored to death. A friend suggests a movie-a Midnight Movie. Isn ' t that kind of late? I mean, don ' t they have an earlier showing like 8:30? Ma-ham!... you remember that real sweet guy that got waivered in driver ' s ed.? He ' s in Honor Society and you bowl with his mother on Monday ' s? Well, he kinda asked me to the midnight movies. Mom, I know it ' s late, but everybody is going... even Mr. Newman! We have to go... for an essay. I knew you wouldn ' t let me. What? I can! Seriously, are you feeling okay? Well, then can I have the car and $5? It may be a difficult task, convincing your parents to let you go to a midnight movie, but the movies have become a late night pasttime for Yorktowners. Late movie subjects may range from the wierd of Rocky Horror Picture Show, the gruesome of Dawn of the Dead, to the music of Pink Floyd ' s, The Wall. Junior Phil Ramsey commented, After seeing Rocky Horror 31 times, you begin to really get into the wild and craziness of the movie. Euchre Mania Euchre, now that ' s an inter- esting word. When you look it up in a Webster ' s Dictionary, it tells you that euchre means to outwit or get the best of, but to most people it means only one thing: an exciting card game that takes on the word ' s meaning. This holds true for students at YHS as they can be found trump- ing, renigging, and throwing out right and left bowers during and after school. Lots of people feel that euchre is a good game to play when a group of friends get together. Julie Bowers, junior, offered, It ' s a fun game to play at Colleen Coulon parties. You can find people at York- town playing euchre in study halls, at lunch and during activ- ity period. tven though most students find euchre to be a great pasttime, some people are not up on the game as was illus- trated by Junior David Helms in his statement, I don ' t even know what a euchre is! So the next time you see four students playing a card game and having a lot of fun, chances are they ' re playing the game that no one can spell-euchre. -Charmaine Balsley In spare time A lc k At -NEWSLINE- Sometimes after the headlining stories were reported, the 6 o ' clock news staff neglected to air some potentially press-stopping events that took place in our very halls. □ Varsity gridder Tom Neal gave a heart rendering speech after the victorious New Palestine game to applaud faithful fans, who crammed into 5 packed buses to back our team d Thinking of the American soldiers around the world, the Y.H.S. choirs combined in a patriotic performance at Fall Preview that led to a standing audience pledging the American Flag. □ Quill and Scroll devised the first annual pin-up calendar entitled, Guys and Gals of 1984 which included Seniors Teresa Mills, Tiger Okeley, Amy McCoy, Bret Goodpaster, Angie Mansker, Scott Francoeur, Lydia Butts, Scott Brassart, Stacy Stout, Cheyneen Carpenter, Robert Scott and Bret Cook. On the National scene... Q Temperature records were shattered this winter season when the mercury level dipped as low as -60 degrees including windchill factor. □ The so homely they ' re cute Cabbage Patch dolls hit the store shelves this Christmas and caused shoppers to line up outside of closed store doors at pre-dawn hours, in anticipation of purchasing one of these unique dolls a Once again, the Olympic athletes competed, beginning with the opening ceremonies on Monday, Feb. 6, 1984 and continuing to a history making 6 perfect markings for English figure skaters Torvill and Dean. d This year ' s quote wasn ' t one of great significance, but it was, however, a popular question around the nation- Wendy ' s Where ' s the beef? The Big Brothers and their siblings make up a small, but important, population of Yorktown including Seniors Jeff Stout, Jerry Condon and Sophomore Mark Durbin. j Sub-zero weather and Cabbage Patch dolls were top stories on the national scene, while Tiger sports and locker thefts domi- nated the news at home. I 1984-cr chapter from George Orwell ' s classic sci-fi novel, or a year worth savoring? Read on for a report on Big Brothers.

Boy, was I wrong! How was I to know what a girls vol- leyball practice was like? I thought that all it would be was a few girls patsying around the gym for 45 minutes. You know, sugar and spice and everything nice. Everything nice consisted of lots of running, jumping, dig- ging, hitting, spiking and sweat- ing. Yes, sweating. When the school yearbook editors asked me, a male, to participate in a female sport, I thought it was a wonderful idea. Actually that wasn ' t exactly what I was thinking. It was more along the line of all those girls together with just one boy-me. Actually, I am not a total stranger to volleyball. As a summertime enthusiast, I know a great deal about the game. I know what shots are legal, how to score, what constitutes a carry. I am even familiar with the basic offen- sive and defensive patterns. I was not familiar, however, with floorburns, jogging or leg cramps. My first practice was Monday. I arrived ready to roll, and roll I did, all over the floor-five jumps and a roll, five jumps and a roll, and on and on. We played pepper, did short and deeps, set and runs, and four corners, which is all very well if you can keep the ball in the air for 80 million consecutive times. Next we moved on to a hitting line. Hey! I thought this was non-contact. Then, after all this, I was informed by Coach Cheatham that it was time to run a mile and a half. Ha! Ha! You ' re joking! Aren ' t you? The only match of the week was on Thursday evening. It was an away match so I rode the team bus with the girls. It is time to rewrite the nursery rhyme-girls are not made of sugar and spice, although some of their conversations could be considered a bit spicy. The locker room pep talk was not nearly as interesting as the bus ride. Did I mention I was confined to the hall while the girls dressed? The match itself was mildly exciting, but probably would have been more so if I had been allowed to play. It seems there was some technicality in the rulebook. . . My week of patsying around ended that Friday. I must admit that I enjoyed my experience on a girls team; so what if my knees are scarred from the floorburns. Charmaine Balsley L rtT ' v - r • P ? In my wildest dreams, I never r J thought that I, Charmaine Biceps Balsley, would have the distinct opportunity to grapple with the best of the boys. But I did, and I lived to tell you the following true story. Now it ' s common knowledge, that I was drafted to be sports editor of the yearbook, and it ' s also a well-known fact that my editor, Amy Hammersley goes off on ta ngets at times. But she must have really been in another world when she assigned me to practice with the guys wrestling team in order to get an inside story for the yearbook. The first enjoyable part of this story was asking blond bombshell Coach John Fullenkamp if I could grapple with the guys-to which he replied, Huh? yeah, I don ' t care, sure, it ' s alright with me-I guess. As he turned his back to smirk at the other coaches in the office, he added, If she can handle it. As I donned my designer sweats and added a touch of make-up and extra deoderant, I sauntered into the back hall to prepare myself for the first set of workouts. Okay, You guys have been wimping out lately, so you are now expected to run every lap under 60 seconds. If you do not complete your laps in the required time, you have to run five extra laps after practice. Needless to say, I was running all night. One hundred and twenty-five push-ups? No prob, I thought. Actually, after the first six I kind of lost count-but it ' s the thought that counts-right? Now it ' s time for partner drills. I perked up. This sounded like fun. Maybe all the sweat and pain was worth it. Maybe I can be partners with Tiger Okeley...or Gary Johnson.. .or maybe... Oh yeah, Charmaine, you can quit-you don ' t have to participate in these. Oh. Well, the remainder of the practice was still the most enjoyable part for me-sitting there in my Sasson sweats, watching 30 guys with good bodies roll around on the floor. Thanks for the assignment, Amy. 11 Seniors Jodi Bennett and Andrea Tincher give a full report on the issue that caused a new F.A.D.D. at Yorktown - Drunk Driving. I Travel with Y-town students as they scan the globe in their many adventures from riding on the school bus to flying overseas. Move on through the book and take a trip down memory lane that reflects on the 1984 year. DRUNK DRIVING ..an o u t - o f - control epidemic It was Saturday night and Jeff and Brian, two high school students, were returning home from a basketball game, but they never made it. The police phoned Jeff ' s parents to tell them that he had been in a car wreck and was receiving treatment at the hospital. Brian wasn ' t so lucky. The police had to inform his parents that their son was killed when his car was struck head-on by a drunk driver. Drunk driving is considered an out-of- control epidemic, and is said to be our country ' s most socially acceptable vio- lent crime. Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the leading causes of teenage death. More than 50% of all lives taken in the United States are caused by drunk drivers. In order to reduce these statistics, a drunk driving law was put into effect on Sept. 1, 1983. This law states that anyone with a blood alcohol content of .10% or above is guilty of driving while intoxicated (DWI). The fine for the first offenders is $10,000 maximum and a suspension of their licenses for one year. You ' re dealing with intangibles when you talk about drivers who are under the influence. We are trying to reduce the fatal accidents in Indiana involving drunk driv- ers, commented Sergeant Reese of the idiana State Police department. Another solution to the DWI problem is set up by the Muncie Police sight ; n some high school students ' cars following a late night excursion, could have resulted in an unfortunate end. and State Police departments. Sergeant Reese stated, The roadblock ' s purpose is to decrease the number of accidents, because so many innocent people are harmed. Many people are against drunk driving; but the only people who tried to do any- thing about it were the police and the state legislature. Finally, a group of concerned mothers originated Mother ' s Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.). After M.A.D.D., Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.) formed. This group inspired 12 Yorktown students to organize Friends Against Drunk Driving (F.A.D.D.). Two students, Amy Williams and Laraine Snider attended a VOLS convention in Indianapolis that dealt with alcohol and drug abuse. Speakers talked about begin- ning S.A.D.D. groups. Amy and Laraine felt that Yorktown needed something sim- ilar before anything real tragic happened. A student from Delta was involved in an accident because of drunk driving, and we wanted to do something to help pre- vent that from happening here, stated Williams. Plans included having a F.A.D.D. week, which included guest speakers and a non- alcoholic party. It ' s not against drinking, it ' s against • drinking and driving, concluded Williams. Friends don ' t let friends drive and drink! -Jodi Bennett Andrea Tincher m. ' - - .

When mom says it ' s too slick to drive to school, you break out into a sudden sweat. Can your nerves take it? How will you tell your friends you have to... Ride The Bus. Parents don ' t realize the humiliation involved with riding the bus. Dad doesn ' t have to listen to WOWO break into the static for 20 minutes straight. Mom doesn ' t have to sit behind the jammed window after she did her hair for an hour. You do. It ' s degrading that you don ' t have the power to drive your own car, admitted Sophomore Kent Campbell. At the end of the journey, the yellow beast pulls to the curb of the school. It is now time to put on the sunglasses. I promised myself I would never ride the bus again after I sat next to some kid with B.O. -I thought it was me, joked Junior Kurt DeBord. You approach the doors and quickly scope out the scene. You sigh with relief. None of your friends are there, so you continue to the lockers where your buddies await you. Suddenly a chorus of A- nother One Rides the Bus, is sung by your (former) friends, and you crawl into your locker. After waiting for the halls to clear so your ego doesn ' t take another beating, you sneak to class - only to be tardy. As you slink quietly to your desk, the teacher ' s voice booms, LATE BUS? , you hear snick- ers from the freshman end of the room. You nod in humilia- tion and slither into your chair. This is when you promise yourself that you will never ride the bus - again. -Amy Hammersley, editor NAD TO Ril TH BUS J -r mi4 tf«Afi ' $ ...leaving your books behind... On the move, both in America and abroad, were several Yorktown academic groups during the 1984 school year. Not far from Yorktown, members of the German Club traveled to the Bavarian city of Frankenmuth, Michigan during Christmas break. This trip gave the members a chance to sightsee and view exactly how a German town looks during the festive Christmas season. Led by club sponsor Mrs. Naomi Miller, some highlights of the trip included the Glockenspiel Tower, the Maypole and the Willkommen Garden. Also making a trip - a little farther away - was, another foreign language group, the Spanish Club, who went to Mexico City, Taxco and Acapulco in Mexico. For eight days, the Spanish Club members basked in the tropical sun. The students were whisked from the Floating Gardens of Xochi- milico, to the famous Cliffs of La Quebrads, led by Spanish Club sponsor Mr. Rocco Fuschetto. The biggest jump was taken by six seniors and Mrs. Terry Nelson, journalism and drama teacher, to the other side of the world - Europe. The ten day tour included visits to Pompeii ' s excavations, Michelangelo ' s David and Pisa ' s leaning tower, just to mention a few. These students didn ' t come back with a deep dark tan like those from Florida but the intriging travels of Italy and Switzerland were found to be the most educational and thrilling experiences of my life, commented Mrs. Nelson. mm Traveling on through the book 14 Student Life - From Homecoming to Graduation, it ' s all here. During one brief moment of inspiration, our own Student Life Editor, Andrea Tincher, finally learned the difference between 10 and 12 picas. 32 Academics - It was a learning experience for Co-Editors Carol Cooper and Candy Davis, who pondered over one layout for 9 weeks, then turned out 8 spreads in one February late night session. 58 Sports - Was it a snow job? Or did Andy Bricker find his two layouts in a snow drift by the tennis courts? Don ' t ask Co-Editors Scott Brassart and Charmaine Balsley-they ' re out roaming the halls in search of a quote. 96 Clubs - At first Cynthia, from Muncie Central, didn ' t know how to crop a picture, but we showed her Howe, along with Co-Editor Jodi Bennett.who delved into the extracurricular side of Tiger Life. 114 People - It was a year of tragedy for the People ' s staff with foot operations, mother invasions, and the dreaded CAC. Nevertheless, Co- Editors Doug Fullenwider, Lisa Mitchell and Pam Somers succeeded in identifying all of US. X yj £-, Advertisements - The only way Lee Ann Littell and Tracey Reed could get their pictures in the yearbook was to be on Ads staff. You can see them pretending to work on pages 152 and 153. 174 Index - It ' s a boring job, but somebody had to do it. And that somebody was our own typesetter Renee Williams. By the way, Renee has informed us that she will never alphabetize again. 180 Closing - We had to end the book here; we were out of space, and besides the year was over anyway. Congratulations to Editor Amy Hammer- sley and Managing Editor Kim Guinn on their presever- ence, talents and extraordinary good taste in produc- ing this yearbook. nUD£N7 LIFE VI, ' e ' ve never looked so US as we paraded through the halls during an impromtu pep session for Homecoming. The annual events took on new meanings as Yorktown students added their own individual touches to... n The Sadie Hawkins dance when flannel shirts and jeans were bypassed for black, silver and pink punk shirts and parachute pants as the accepted dress. o The Drama Club ' s first ever dinner theatre, which highlighted not only a Neil Simon play and lasagna meal, but Russian dancers, a violinist and a transfor- mation of the high school cafeteria into a quaint Russian village. p The Prom, which took place in a local bowling alley, didn ' t strike out as couples danced in the new ballroom with the theme, A Night in Heaven. That old Tiger Spirit is alive and kicking at the annual Homecoming Pep Session with Senior football players Jeff Barr and Robert Scott and during all home basketball games with Jazz Band member Todd Young. Student -Ar H The crowd is cheering, the stands are full. It looks like another fun filled homecom- ing to remember. OMECOMING 1983 What ' s the first thing you do when you are walking down the hallway and you come face to face with a Glad trashbag? Dressing up crazy helps re- lieve a lot of tension around school. I ' m glad we have those days, commented Junior Char- maine Balsley. The festivities began after school on Friday during the Spirit Games. Putting that pie in Mr. Spurgeon ' s face is some- thing I ' ll never forget. It ' s some- thing not everyone is allowed to do. That ' s why it was so much fun, commented Senior Jodi Redkey. The parade began at 10 a.m., along Highway 32 in downtown Yorktown. Riding on Robbie Godwin ' s senior car is some- thing that everyone will remem- ber, quoted Lisa Mitchell, sen- ior. The Tigers knew it was their day when ironically, Number I ' m going to miss all the craziness of Home- coming next year, -Beth Bryja, senior. 34, senior John Dee scored a touchdown in the first 34 sec- onds of the first quarter.

During halftime Senior Amy McCoy was crowned 1983 Homecoming Queen. The court consisted of Pam Fullenwider, junior, Janet Green, sopho- more, and Amber Burress, freshman. In closing, Junior Maura Walsh added, I loved this year ' s homecoming because I was with all of my senior friends sharing their memories of their last high school homecoming. The one in the crowd is Senior Amy McCoy. McCoy was crowned 1983 Homecoming Queen at the game later that day. u Homecoming Senior Class Takes Spirit Games; Hochstetler wraps it up Shouts of Lets go Tigers lets go fill the air at the tradi- tional spirit games. The object of the games are to capture the spirit stick. In order to ac- complish this, all the classes participate in dress days, hall decorating, shouting contests and the games themselves. The games this year includ- ed the Pepsi chug, tug-o-war, the toilet paper wrapping con- test, and the lifesaver hunt. The seniors took first place in the Pepsi chug, and the tug- o-war. The juniors took first in the toilet paper wrapping con- test and the lifesaver hunt. I thought it was a lot of fun sitting with all my friends and yelling my head off, com- mented sophomore Debbie Blink. Carol Cooper, senior, add- ed, I wouldn ' t change a thing. I thought it was great. The winner of the toilet pa- per wrapping contest was Ju- nior Julie Hochstetler. She jokingly commented, I got all my practice from Mr. Stisher ' s property. I have toi- let papered everything from Stisher ' s yard to Stisher ' s car, and even to Stisher ' s trees. So the junior class officers thought I would be the best person to represent our class in the toilet paper wrapping contest. You name it, I T.P. it! All wrapped up, but no place to go!

Homecoming 17 The stage is set for the cast to make Fools of themselves. But was it worth every bit of trouble. Just ask. ORKTOWN THEATRE What was the sudden epidem- ic that was cast over Yorktown High School ' s Drama Club? No worry, it was only temporary. The fall play Fools, by Neil Si- mon, had everyone wondering what had happened on Novem- ber 4 and 5. The play took place in the high school cafeteria, earlier trans- formed into the small Russian vil- lage, Kulyenchikov. The 13 cast members enter- tained the audience, while they enjoyed a four-course dinner of lasagna, garlic bread, salad, and sherbert. The cast members included Seniors Scott Brassart, Deena Bourne, Jeannie Collins and Jeff Sewell; Juniors Mike Worley; Sophomores Nancy Thise, Chris Mitchell, Todd Hof- herr, and David Slagle, and ' I really learned a lot from being student dir- ector.

In closing, Mrs. Terry Nelson, director, commented, The play went very well. I ' m proud of my kids. Things don ' t always go as planned as Count Yousekevitch explains that he can- not marry Sophia, Senior Jeannne Col- lins. One of the casualties was the dimmer board, borrowed from Northside High School, which blew up. So the Drama Club members rushed home and brought back all the extension cords they could find. As fate would have it, the foot- ball playoffs were the same night. The kids took turns going out and watching the game so we could get finished, explained Nelson. In closing, Senior Cooper sar- castically added, It was a lot of fun setting it up and having a good time but not as much taking it down! 19 Fall Play The cast of Fools First row: C. Cooper, J.

' Mission Impossible : Finding a Sadies Date Okay now, I have got to find a date for Sadies. Since today is the 10, and the dance is on the 22, that should leave me plenty of time. Now. in my opinion, I just can ' t ask a loser. We all know what a loser is. He ' s the kind of guy who gets up in the morning and shaves his teeth. Class A is the very best. He ' s the senior quarterback with 57 medals of valor. Well, you know me, I only hope for the best. Fantastic! I ' ve let a week go by and still no luck. I suppose I could always have a party for all my dateless friends. Oh wow, I just thought of somebody I can ask. Jerry, of course. I ' m not going to chick- en out of calling him! Hello, Jerry, it ' s Andrea, you busy? Oh, hi, Andrea. What ' s up? ' Well, our Sadies is on No- vember 22, I want to know if you would like to go? With you? Yes with me, who do you think? (Boy am I mad). Just teasing. I ' d love to go I can ' t remember anything after that, I think I passed out after he said yes . Well, all that worrying for nothing — maybe not, now I ' ll wonder if he ' ll show up! — Andrea Tincher Picking out their names among all the others are Sophomore Shannon Pitzer and Junior Wendy West.

ADIE HAWKINS 1983 It only comes once a year. It ' s the time when girls really get to see how much it costs to take somebody out on a date. Yorktown High School ' s annu- al Sadie Hawkins Dance is the time when students can get dressed in their faded Levi ' s and matching shirts. The pace was changed more or less this year when students decided to go with shirts other than the traditional flannels. Once again the dance was held in the high school cafeteria on November 22. The Student Council sponsored the dance and furnished refreshments and decorations. The Hitchin ' Post was in the auditorium where cou- ples received a bouquet of dried flowers and an informal marriage license. The Marrin ' Sams were Superintendent Dave Hales and Dean of Students Keith Spur- geon. I thought it was great! I got lucky since I ' m a freshman and I got to go. Some of my friends didn ' t go, but they should have commented Freshman Heather Brinduse. The music was supplied by The Electric Dance Company, and students and their dates danced to the songs while they watched their favorite videos on the big screen projector. It ' s always better to have a DJ, because you can ' t always de pend on a good band. That way if you have a DJ, you have a gen eral idea of what you will be hear ing, stated Senior Shelley Duke Near the middle of the dance Sophomore Danny Flynn was crowned Corn King of 1983 Candidates in the running were Senior Eric Glaub, Junior Brian Retz and Freshman Scott Grasso.

Choir helps us spend more time together since we don ' t have any classes togeth- er at school, stated Andy. But on the other hand, Ken- ny commented, Choir is so A tune in your heart, a dance in your feet, and a little rhythem, joined together to make up Fall Preview 1983. much hard work, so when we do go to practice we don ' t get to talk to each other, But whenever we are together we always have a good time.

Choir couple Debbie Snodgrass and David Hershey freeze in position dur- ing Fall Preview. Something to Sing About was the theme for the 1983 Fall Pre- view performance. The Tiger Connection, the Modernaires and Swing Incorporated en- tertained family and friends on Nov. 18 and 20 in the high school auditorium, under the direction of Mrs. Joanne Keesling. To put on such a complicated show, the YHS choral depart- ment rehearsed hour upon hour and spent many nights in the auditorium learning vocal parts and choreography. We began practicing the sec- ond week of school to be sure that we would have a good show, stated Keesling. The rehearsals lasted approxi- mately two hours each time. Keesling received outside help from a Ball State student teacher OMETHING TO SING ABOUT Carol Faulkner. Miss Faulkner was a great help in showing us how to devel- op style and discipline as well as in choreography, commented Senior Carol Cooper, Swing In- corporated member. After singing backup with the ever-popular group Earth, Wind and Fire, she signed a contract with NBC to sing the theme to a pilot Midas premier- ing this spring of 1984. Miss Faulkner finished her masters degree at Ball State Uni- versity before returning to Los Angeles to continue her profes- sional career. Miss Faulkner performed the song Superstition at the Fall Preview. The local group The Colors was the band who played for her. Something to Sing About fea- tured many solos including Sen- iors Bret Cook, Carol Cooper and a duet including Seniors Cathy Owens and Becky South- erland. They performed the song Take Me to Heart originally re- corded by Quarterflash. We were both scared be- cause it was the first time we had ever done a duet together. If I had to do it all over again I would. It was a lot of fun and we both enjoyed ourselves, commented Owens. Needless to say Fall Preview 1983 is one to be remembered. According to Senior Jodi Ben- nett, It was really good because there was such a variety of enter- tainment and everyone tdid a fan- tastic job. Bathing suits, sunglasses, bi- kinies, suntan lotion, towels, and lots of money were the down- right necessities for fun in the sun. Remember way back when the freshmen, who are now sen- iors, could not wait to roast in the blazing hot sun of Florida? Well, the moment finally came. Seniors celebrated one week of freedom during Spring Break 1984, in the action-packed state of Florida. This year, the vacation spot for most of the graduating class were places ranging from Fort Lauderdale to the beaches of Daytona. Hangouts on those hot Florida nights included The Caboose, The Other Place, Big Daddies, and the most popular, The Pier. The Pier was where every- body hung out. It was the most popular because they had a live band every night, commented Jenni Spears, senior. Most of the students who stayed in Daytona spent their week in Daytona Inn, or on the beaches nearby. The students who stayed in Fort Lauderdale stayed in the motel, The Baha- mas. The reason we decided to go ■ La uderdale was because if guys to girls is 6 to 1, commented Senior Lisa Heath. Many of the students left for Florida on the Wednesday before Wild-n-crazy seniors celebrated one week of freedom on Florida beach- es. A week of parties, dancing and great memories. PRING BREAK 1984 break, and returned home the Saturday or Sunday before school got started in full swing once again. I got home on Sunday and I realized that I was so bored. I wanted to call somebody so bad because I was used to having ten to fifteen people around me all the time in Florida, stated Scott Brassart, senior. Although many people cele- brated Daytona-style, some of the Spanish students, accompa- nied by Mr. Rocco Fuschetto, vis- ited places throughout Mexico. The students who participated were Sophomores Dan Jones, Karen Stringfield, Connie Bous- man, Chris Sullivin, Tom Hurley and Eric Jacobson; Juniors Kim Kimbrough and Lisa Delaney and Senior Stacey Applegate.

That ' s Italian ' For 5 Senior Girls Mrs. Terry Nelson and a group of Yorktown students took a break from American ways and traveled to the Eu- ropean countries of Switzer- land and Italy. These coun- tries were toured during Spring Break 1984. The students who partici- pated were Seniors Amy Hammersley, Carol Cooper, Deena Bourne, Renee Wil- liams, Dawn Cooper, Diana Vise, a 1982 Yorktown gra- duate, and Toni Smalley, Mrs. Nelson ' s cousin from Los An- geles. Some of the cities toured in- cluded Verona, where Romeo and Juliet lived; the Leaning Tower in Pisa, Florence, and Rome, where the Vatican is located. In Venice, everyone thought we were famous bas- ketball players because we had on our matching Episode shirts. They asked ' You bas- ketball player? ' and we an- swered, ' Oh, yes, yes, ' com- mented Dawn Cooper. For entertainment, the group went to a disco called Space Electronic, in Flor- ence. It was fun because it was just like American Bandstand. It was also fun because it was funny watching how the other people danced. The Italian women didn ' t move much, but all us American chicks really brought the house down. stated Carol Cooper. In closing, Amy Hammersly commented, Europe was very, very good to me!

Spring Play: Behind the scenes Behind the scenes is not the most attention-grabbing place to work, but for the play crew mem- bers, it ' s the most rewarding. According to light man Ju- rank Williams, When all of details come to- ist rewarding part of being backstage. Williams has been on the light crew for the past three years in five drama club productions. As- sisting Williams for the Spring Play was Jodi Bennett and Joe Sanders. Lights aren ' t the only consid- eration behind the scenes as Sen- ior Amy Hammersley has been make-up chairman for both the productions this year. When asked why the assumed responsi- bility in the first place the drama club member responded, ... I wanted to be part of the gang. Junior Marta Russel, on the other hand, likes to work on the make-up crew because, I want to go into Cosmetology. Set Builders Joe Sanders. Sophomore and Junior Frank Williams work on the lights for the play. 2C Spring Play Audience members were transported behind the iron cur- tain once again, to the American Embassy for the Drama Club ' s Spring Production of Woody Al- len ' s Don ' t Drink the Water. Beginning in February, the 14 member crew met each night from 6:30 until as late as 10 p.m. to rehearse the 1960 ' s comedy about the misadventures of the Hollander family on vacation. Jeff Sanders as Walter Hol- lander and Carol Cooper as his wife Marion portrayed the leads, with David Lamirand as Axel McGee and Colleen Riggs as Su- san Hollander in supporting Walter and Marian Hollander are portrayed by Seniors Jeff Sanders and Carol Cooper.

In fact, winter weather was partially the cause for the play ' s success. According to the play ' s director, Terry Nelson, all of the rehearsals missed because of winter weather gave the cast a sense of urgency and commit- ment during the rehearsal time. The cast members did take the play to state convention at Floyd Central High School in New Al- bany, the weekend of April 27, where the play was performed before 1000 delegates.

The best part is seeing everyone dressed up. It ' s amazing what a tux or a dress can do to some- body. It had been an exhausting night and we called it to a halt about 7:00 a.m. Being with someone special was the best thing, making it truly A Night in Heaven, and it ' s something I will never forget.

NIGHT IN HEAVEN r 3 It was the Tuesday before the prom and I was sitting in my bed- room doing my Grammar Comp. assignment, when all of a sudden I saw a bright, golden light in the corner of my room. I rubbed my eyes to see if I was dreaming, which I wasn ' t — and standing there was my fairy god- mother. She spoke to me with her soft voice and blessed me with a beautiful Prom Dress, shoes and diamond jewelry. I guess she knew about the expenses of Prom. While I was admiring my new prom attire, she vanished out of sight, leaving me without the most important thing for Sophomore Missy Miller and Andy Marsh, senior, take a break for refresh- ments. Prom — a date. So the search was on for the perfect prom date to go with my perfect dress. Luckily, I met Prince Charming on my way to the grocery store. Now I had everything necessary for the prom. This year, the Junior-Senior Prom was held in the Carolina Room above the Village Bowl in Muncie. Couples spent A Night in Heaven dancing to the music of The Works. Midway through the Prom, Amy McCoy, senior was crowned 1984 Prom Queen. Her court consisted of Seniors Lydia Butts, Angie Mansker, and Cheyneen Carpenter and Junior Pam Fullenwider. After the prom, the After- Prom was held downstairs in the bowling alley. Students danced to the music of Electric Dance Company, while watching se- lected videos on the big screen. Also, the students played free video games and bowled. After a tough game, everyone could get free cokes and pizzas. The festivities ended about 4:00 a.m. and almost everyone headed home, or went out for breakfast. When I got home, I walked to my room to catch some ZZZZZ ' s. Once again, my fairy godmother appeared with a curious grin on her face. She wanted to know all about the prom and the night I spent with Prince Charming. Prom Court: Cheyneen Carpenter, Lydia Butts, Pam Fullenwider, Angie Mansker and Queen Amy McCoy. As the year drew to a close and we rejoiced the coming of the last day of school, the gradu- ating class of 1984 reminisced the memorable times we shared with our friends during high school. Who can forget the senior car, driven by Robbie Godwin, that was part of the homecoming parade, and of course Amy Ham- mersley, alias Super Chicken, who appeared at the Hagers- town football game? On the last day of school, May 11, the excitement was over- whelming as the seniors raced out to the parking lot to get in on the shaving cream and water bal- loon fight. Then really getting strange looks from people when you drove through town with shaving cream from head to toe. Things like this are times that will It ' s the last of high school dances, games and hot romances for all the seniors in Yorktown. Now it ' s time to move up to the big time. ENIORS FINISH OFF THE YEAR always be remembered. May 18 marked a new begin- ning for the class of 1984. The commencement ceremony con- cluded the seniors ' high school experiences. Commencement was held in Emens Auditorium with 187 students graduating. Valedictorians were Susan Gan- ion and Lisa Ferg. Salutatorians were Scott Brassart and Steph- anie Lawrence. The traditional green robes for the boys and the white robes for the girls were worn. The National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll members wore cords this year rather than different col- ored robes like last year. The choirs combined to sing and the senior chior members traditionally sang Alma Matre. The seniors in the choir include Co-valedictorian Susan Ganion re ceivcs her diploma from School Board ml President Earl Dunn. - Mandy Stout, Cathy Owens, Bret Cook, Carol Cooper, Robin Davis, Shelli Timmons, Doug Ful- lenwider, Teresa Mills, Andy Marsh, Colleen Coulon, Dean Ja- derston, Becky Southerland, Denise Replogle, Ruth Hender- son, Amy Goodpaster, Debbie Snodgrass and Merae Daniel. As each of the seniors look back on all those close friend- ships and special relationships he realizes that these years are going to be hard to top. Maybe five years from now everyone will look back at each one of the years we spent in high school and say that those four years were the best times in our lives. Senior Carol Cooper embraces a close friend after commencement ceremonies in Emens Auditorium. t. ' Twas the Night Before Seniors Left ' 10 Graduation No matter how hard a secret is tried to be kept at Y.H.S., at least 25 inter- ested people find out. That must have been why the doors to the school were unlocked at 11:00 p.m. Not too many seniors can say that they were home sleeping on May 10, because nearly all the class was at the school, toilet pa- pering trees and bushes and putting crepe paper on anything that did not walk away. Some of the things done were placing various signs throughout the school and putting up an 84 flag in front of the school. The highlight of the evening was when all the frosh lockers were wired shut. This made it impossi- ble for them to be opened. Much to our disappoint- ment everything had been taken down the next day. But one senior comment- ed, We had fun anyway! The seniors continued on to the last day com- plete with parking lot an- tics. Water balloons and shaving cream were trans- ported to school on Friday, May 11, and old jeans and T-shirts were the attire for the day. Seniors Candy Davis and John Rosson celebrate the last day of school for seniors by getting in on the water fight. w0ft jr • ACADEMICS % lay you can ' t remember a thing about Geome- try? And you can ' t recall what a bunsen burner is? Well, we couldn ' t repeat the section on the Civil War, but we will take you back through the various subjects and remind you of the unique events that made Academics a learning experience, like... a A $400,000 computer system that gave many students and teachers the opportunity to plunge into the computer craze. □ Breaking classroom barriers as foreign language students traveled to La Tours restaurant, Franken- muth, Michigan, and even Mexico during spring break to absorb good foods, new atmospheres and different lifestyles. □ Camping out in room 137 until the wee hours to make deadlines which gave publication staff mem- bers bags under the eyes but more importantly, the feeling of accomplishment. You can never learn too much even if it takes three calculators for Senior Brian Clevenger to decipher a physic ' s problem. As for Junior Amy Williams, learning how to cope without sleep during an all-night rock-a-thon was a draining experience, but raised an estimated $3,000 for choir productions.

He said, These classes have renewed some old interests in teaching for many. Senior Jodi Redkey Mrs. Barbara Gooden, computer programming with a business emphasis teacher, feels that being computer lit- erate is an important factor because computers are now being used in homes, schools, banks and with many types of library work. One student has spent his spare time taking a high level of computer lan- guage called Fortran 77 at Ball State University. Now that you are dying to know who this dedicated person is, let me also tell you that he also spends 6-8 hours a night programming his own Kay Pro 22 Business Computer in his home.

It ' s not easy to say the word Band at Yorktown High School without start- ing a long conversation. The year of 1983-84 proved to be a most interest- ing, inspiring, exciting and surprising year for the YHS marching and concert bands. The marching band started off the season during the summer by bring- ing home the first place victory at Dela- ware. After much hard work and dedi- cation from everyone, they traveled to the state marching contest at the ISU stadium in Terre Haute, to bring home a trophy after placing seventh in the state in Class C. The marching band performed at ev- ery home football game during half- time, and at some basketball games with the color guard. The marching band season then ended with a boom, but only to lead on to a successful year for the concert band. The concert band performs at the Christmas Concert, Spring Rhythms and other invitationals around the Absolute delight is expressed by members of the Tiger Marching Band, at the Delaware Coun- ty Fair Band Contest. The Tigers grabbed a first place finish with their marching field show. state; including the IHSMA at Ball State University. A lot of people don ' t realize how much time and effort is put into having such a top notch band. Mr. Mickey Stisher, two-year band director, stated that rehearsals every day in the band classes. Some students even decided to take private lessons from Mr. Stisher to better their musical ability. Along with the competition outside of school, there is a form of competition in the band room as well. Each year audi tions are held to determine section leaders and chair persons as far as tal- ent and dedication, and musical ability. So, the next time you hear the word band you ' ll know that it means a lot at YHS. Each year all of those dedi- cated musicians prove that we ' ve nev- er looked so US.

Sophomore Choir member Michelle Aul commented, The shows are a lot of fun, preparing for it though can be a lot of work but once you are up on the stage all the work is really rewarding.

Cargile Care needs to be excersized when heating up a test tube as part of an advanced chemistry lab assignment for Mrs. Carolyn Lucas. tfO MAD SCIENTISTS Playing choo-choo? No, Senior Scott Francoeur tests velocity instead in Mrs. Cartwright ' s third hour Physics class. I know, I know, when you think of science, you think of an old, shriveled up, prunefaced teacher, with a white lab coat, pockets full of test tubes, glasses as thick as pop bottle bottoms, hair sticking straight up, (you know, the mad scientist effect), and making out equations to figure but a cure for the next unknown disease. Science in- volves many different characteristics, and not just the image of a little old scientist. first of all, at Yorktown High School there is no such thing as just a plain science class. Many different types of Science classes were offered such as, Advanced chemistry presents science stu- dents with hands on experience as John Ros- son, senior, adds acid to distilled water for dilu- tion during a lab. Plant Science, Exploratory Science, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry and Astronomy. Oh, yes, and just plain Sci- ence. However, once in this Science class, you ' ll come to know that it isn ' t all that easy. Jim Whitney, first year freshman science teacher, states that in one year, the class covers 9 weeks of chemistry, 9 weeks of physics, 9 weeks of Earth Science and 9 weeks of Life Science. He stressed that the main ideas behind this course were teaching students motor coordination skills, and to teach them how to acquire the capability to investigate a compli- cated problem. Another interesting field of science is Plant Science. To show an interest in this area, Yorktown High School has acquired a greenhouse. The green- house was added on to YHS three years ago. According to Terry Nus- baum, biology and plant science teach- er, the greenhouse is a tool used to provide important hands on infor- mation that ties in with our everyday classwork. The theory is that seeing something work is better than just hear- ing that it works. In Biology, students are required to take care of at least one plant in the greenhouse. Many have found that tak- ing care of plantlife can be very re- warding and interesting.

For the ad- vanced students in grades 10 through 12, course offerings like lifesaving, weightlifting, advanced physical edu- cation and swimming are also avail- able.

Fitness breeds a healthy self-concept. Another concept of physical and psychological education is health. Nat- urally it is a helpful class and we all need it, that is why it is a required course for sophomores. Chisman stated that We faculty try to give students a better understanding of the way that their body functions, as well as to prepare them for the ways of the world today so that they can make sound, intelligent decisions. So when you sit in that English class, sweating like a pig, realize that all that physical exertion is really helping both your body and your mind. tf2 Physical Education r y W . % fcfc Weightlifting provides a break from the monotony of classes. -Sophomore Rob Nottingham 99 Freshman Tony Stewart goes down for a bump during the volleyball section of physical education.

As the day is coming to an end with just a few hours remaining, you come to a class that you really enjoy. It is a class that doesn ' t require lecturing, memorization or studying, but a class in which you can let your true artistic abilities come out. We may not all be Picassos, but there is a little bit of art in all of us. Whether you like to paint, draw, sketch or design, art can be for every- one. Open to all students in grades 9-12, the Art Department offers courses in ceramics, commercial art, design, drawing, painting and sculpture. Addi- tionally, students are able to enroll in an independent study offered for art majors only, in which the involved stu- dent may explore their area more in depth. Sam Schlagel, senior, attended classes at Ball State University in draw- ing and sculpting, earning A ' s. Sam also entered his sketches in the Scho- lastic Art Award Competition in Indian- apolis.

Auto maintenance is one of the practical courses that appeals to both male and female students.

Art Industrial Arts fS TALK TO ME Grabbing for the goodies! Juniors Gary Hensley and Steve Hellman during their class time fiesta in Spanish. The English language has become more and more complex every cen- tury. The English and Foreign Lan- guage departments at YHS keep up with the times and take on new chal- lenges, hoping to expand the know- ledge of students. Students tend to frown on the fact that they are required to take some sort of English course for credits all four years of high school. Many different types of English classes can be elected, such as Speech Debate, teaching the students the art of formal speaking, and Grammar Composition, basing an emphasis on correct usage. A person can never acquire too much knowledge in this field. Correct English is a very valuable asset to everyone. According to English teach- er, Mrs. Elizabeth Dunn, I have for ten years been trying to teach my dog to say ' hamburger ' . I have for thirty years been trying to teach my students cor- rect proper English! I am so very thankful to have succeeded in ONE of Juniors Brian Claspell and Larry Fraze. my two endeavors! Many students choose not only to strengthen their abilities in English, but in a second language. Foreign language electives at YHS are Spanish, German and French, taught by Mr. Rocco Fus- chetto, Mrs. Naomi Miller and Mrs. Carolyn Jones. Learning a foreign language can be easy. In fact, for some people learning to speak a second language can help them understand the English language better. According to Jodi Bennett, sen- ior, French was something very differ- ent to learn about. It was a nice change from math, history or science. Learning to speak French wasn ' t very difficult, in fact, it ' s related a lot to the English language.

No, this isn ' t a party, but it ' s your basic yearbook staffers working diligently to meet next deadline. When one walks past Journalism Room 137, it often looks as if a bomb exploded or as if the staff had stayed all night living it up. Actually there ' s purpose behind the mess in the Pub room, and that pur- pose is the publication of the award winning yearbook Episode and news- paper, Broadcaster. First year staff member. Senior Can- dy Davis, states that, Being on staff is a lot more work than I ever imagined, but in the long run, it ' s all worth it. Senior Yearbook Editor, Amy Ham- mersley agrees, adding that, Being on staff is more responsibility than most people would ever begin to realize. But it ' s the type of responsibility that pre- pares you for the real working world. Underclassmen Picture Day is a big day tor anyone who wishes to look nice in the school yearbook like Sophomore Jodie Huffman. Each year yearbook staff organizes the picture day, working with a local photographer.

Staff members par- ticipated in gag gift exchange at Christ- mas and dressed in their matching green and white staff shirts for state conventions. Junior David Helms, Broadcaster advertising manager, commented, Newspaper has been great to be a part of this year. It ' s always fun to be a member of the family on the staff. Actually planning for the two publi- cations begin way before the school year starts. Last summer nine students participated in the National Journalism Workshop at Ball State University. Kim Guinn, Yearbook managing editor, was recognized for her yearbook layout and design. During the summer, advertising is also sold for the two self-supporting publications. Summer activities are also covered by the photography staff. Being a photographer can be very straining, stated photographer Lisa Ferg, senior, but, it ' s worth all the time you put into it once you see the results. What I really liked about this year ' s newspaper staff was how there was al- most always the same people staying after for deadlines, and how that group formed a family of sorts, expressed Sports Editor Tim Adcock. An international journalism honor- ary, Quill and Scroll, had five mem- bers this year, led by Amy Hammers- ley, president; Kim Guinn, secretary- treasurer. Managing Editor Kim Guinn, senior, summed up the year by saying, The Yearbook took a lot of late hours and time in the summer, but hopefully you ' ll say by the end results that it was worth it. Quill and Scroll w FUTURE PLANS Add more scoops please! As Junior Angie Miller prepares the punch for one of the traditional weddings in Family Living. No matter what kind of career a stu- dent decides to pursue, everyone must know and understand the basics of home economics. The Home Ec department at YHS is constantly expanding and more and more students, both male and female are realizing that they need knowledge in how to succeed in managing a house- hold. Many different classes are taught in this field, each course, basing an em- phasis on different subjects. Some of the courses offered were Exploratory Childhood, Family Living and Family Management. In these courses, stu- dents deal with children on a personal basis, and actual accounts of living ob- acles were dealt with. Other courses offered were Foods, Nutrition, Advanced Foods and Basic Home Economics. According to Mrs. Clela Saxman, Family Management teacher, having knowledge of how to manage a family and household is very important to Andrea Partee ' confronts Santa during Ex- ploring Childhood. young people after high school. Every person should be lucky enough to learn from this ' course and other home eco- nomic classes. The home economics curriculum at YHS is a very important and presti- gious area to students interested in family life, home management and child care. With the Home Ec courses, students can become better prepared for many obstacles that life has to offer after graduation. Students are for the most part very happy after taking a home ec course, and learning things they might not have learned without the classes. Home Ec is not considered to be a college bound class by many students, yet everyone has to learn how to man- age a household in order to survive. • v SO Home Economics Carefully icing her cake in Foods I is Sophomore Chris Clevenger.

Future goals of many students at YHS are becoming realities as the suc- cess of the Muncie Career Center con- tinues to prosper. The Career Center offers the chance for students to ex- pand their knowledge in such areas as nursing, industrial arts, and engineer- ing. Credits can be earned and a grad- ing honor roll is established. Making plans and looking towards the future is important and the Career center can be very beneficial and a terrific learn- ing experience. Another type of organization that helps students plan for the future is With all his attention and devotion, Senior Tony Brown receives Christmas cards made by his Cadet teaching children in Mrs. Jackie Bowen ' s fourth grade class at Yorktown Elemen- tary. Cadet Teaching. This is a class offered to seniors only. Cadet teaching involves students with elementary students per- son to person. Elementary teaching, communication, and personal involve- ment are all part of the course. Stu- dents are required to evaluate them- selves according to their abilities and the help they provide for the elemen- tary students. Lisa Mitchell, senior, stated that Cadet teaching is a lot of fun because you get to know all of the kids, as well as learn about teaching skills. All in all, Cadet teaching and the Career Center open many doors and provide endless opportunities. Many students who are undecided about their careers can learn about many possibilities and can stretch their knowledge of prestigious work areas. With the Career Center skills that are taught and offered, students realize how much they can learn and establish. The Career Center classes are offered during first, second and third period for two semesters. Senior Jack Frieders stated, I real- ly enjoyed working through the Career Center. The people were really great and helped me a lot. Frieders con- cluded, I thought learning about me- chanics and engineering would be diffi- cult, but it was really a learning exper- ience and quite interesting. Andrea Tincher, senior, expressed her feelings about Cadet Teaching, I loved working with the children and be- ing part of helping them in their educa- tion. I plan on being a teacher someday myself.

I ' m really pleased with the number of students who are taking psychology . . . It ' s something of value, and stu- dents are not aware of the help it will give them until they become older and more mature, stated Psychology teacher and Social Studies Department head Charlie Owen. Along with Psychology, there are a range of classes offered, from govern- ment which, took a lot of time and understanding, for Senior Tom Neal, to the required U.S. History class for all juniors. I enjoyed the class but 1 hated the notes! exclaimed Junior Greg Stu- art. Learning about the way the mind works and by learning about our American heritage can be very inter- esting and eye-opening. Mr. Bruce Gaylor taught Economics for the first time this year by making students ac- tive participants in various economic situations. It was a unique learning experience for both the students and myself ... it proved to be very interesting, stated Gaylor. Senior Scott Brassart added his two cents about the class by saying, I liked Econ a lot — The course was different and challenging. If you like Gaylor then take it, Scott added. From history to psychology, to eco- nomics, students can learn about to- day ' s and yesterday ' s societies. Senior Angie McCartney uses a biofeedback unit in order to help relax during Psychology.

Careers in business seem to take on additional importance as high school students face the economic pressures of today ' s society. The business classes offered Junior Todd Young, More of a training, than just a class ... Realizing the benefits of working in business, YHS students have taken ad- vantage of the extensive programs of- fered. Business Law, Data Processing and Shorthand are some of the more tradi- tional course offerings, while students can learn more with hands on exper- ience as in Office Lab or Distributive Education where students can exper- ience on the job training. One class that many students elect to take is accounting. This particular course, taught by Mrs. Barbara Goo- den, department head, is one that many students have to work extremely hard. In order to succeed in taking this course, a student must obtain at least Sophomore Joey Stout tries to improve his typing speed by keeping his eyes on his copy only. average math skills because constant figuring and averaging can become de- manding. Junior Cindy Howe added, I want to be an accountant, so I took the class ... It was quite an eye opener. Cindy added, It ' s very easy to fall behind if you don ' t stay on top of things! Whatever area of business interests you, there ' s a course just for you. Ac- cording to Robby Quirk, junior, The best class to take is General Business, because it gives you a review of all the aspects in the business world. Whether you prefer accounting, typ- ing, business law, or general business, any course offering pertaining to busi- ness will prove to be beneficial to every student in the future.

Five busses, packed with screaming Tiger fans, paraded down Smith Street to the New Palestine game on October 29. In the Sectionals, the Tiger players had to play the 4 state-ranked New Palestine squad. Paw Power prevailed as the Tigers won in a heart stopping game, 14-7. When we beat New Palestine, it was the greatest feeling I ever had, replied first-year varsity player Travis Sayers. Yorktown hosted its first play-off game against 1 ranked Indianapolis Chatard. Over 5000 anxious fans attended the game, only to be dis- appointed with the outcome. Chatard opened up a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Despite Yorktown ' s efforts, they were never able to re- cover. Chatard won the game, 31-0, ending the Tiger ' s hopes for a State Championship. Coach Dave Tanner stated, We just never got on our feet.. .if we would have played as well in the first quarter as we did in the other three, I think it would have been a totally different game. The team had an outstanding regular season record of 7 wins and 3 losses. All three of the Tiger losses came from teams in the AAA Grant Zgunda Sophomore division. The Tigers clobbered Centerville in the Homecoming game, 27-0. The squad then went on to defeat Shenandoah to win the Cluster 44 championship, with a 4 and cluster record. Senior Scott Francoeur stated, This year ' s team was really balanced overall. We didn ' t have to rely on one person to carry the team. Senior Jeff Barr became the second player in Yorktown ' s football history to be selected to the All-State team. Jay Neal Class of ' 83, was the first player honored.

This winning attitude sometimes wasn ' t enough as an unsuccessful finish tor both the Reserve and Freshmen football teams resulted in their season tally of 3-4 and 2-5 re spectively. However, for most players this was a valuable one as they gained needed experience. The best part of reserve football is getting exper- ience for varsity so when your time comes, you will be ready, said Junior, Mike Bryja. Many Sophomore and Junior players gained valuable playing exper- ience while maintaining a high degree of competitiveness, explained Reserve Coach Cooper. Despite the freshmen ' s record this year, they all had the attitude of a winning team. Freshmen Coach Ed Mirer expressed that the characteristic he most liked about the players was, Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. Coach Mirer highlighted as examples of this team spirit out-hustling Southside for a win and coming from behind to defeat Eastbrook. Mike Bryja, junior, explained the Reserve ' s record as being a direct result of, not having enough people on the team so that there were no individual practices exclusively for the Reserve team. The Reserve always practiced with Varsity. Even though this year ' s Reserve and Freshmen Football win-loss records did not turn out as well as expected, most people would agree that the coaches and players did an outstanding job of completing their purpose: preparation for varsity football. We have really great coaches and they helped us make the adjustment between eighth grade and high school football, commented Freshman Scott Grasso. On a final note, Sophomore Eric Jacobson added, The experience of playing reserve foot- ball gave me the extra ability when it came to the Friday evening games; it enabled me to partici- pate in quite a few of the varsity games.

This potential was evident no where more than in the team ' s • victory over Muncie Burris, which broke Burris ' consecutive game winning streak. We did super. I think we played our best that night, Junior Deana Hitchens commented. Coach Cheatham, however, felt that the best game of the season was against Pendleton Heights in the Anderson Highland Invitational. We played a near perfect game. Juniors Laraine Snider and Joan Sanders felt that the team, played well in a lot of our games, but we were inconsistent. Agreeing with the two girls, Coach Cheatham continued, We would start like barnburners and then go down the tubes. A lot of inconsistency can be attributed to the lack of total leadership by any one person. Amy Garrett, Junior, pounds a spike. Junior Amy Garrett felt that the teams ' improved performance was due mainly to hard work. Other factors may have been an effective middle blocker and the closeness of the team. We had a small team. We were agressive and played well as a unit, commented Senior Stacy Stout. On an individual basis, strength was evident in serves as Senior Jill Winkle destroyed the record books with 96 consecutive serves - the longest in YHS history.

I just wish we had made it past sectional. -Dean Jaderston For the sixth straight year, the Varsity Boys Tennis team has received statewide attention by posting a 14 and 3 win-loss record. The Tigers lost only to Anderson, Anderson Highland, Alexandria and Muncie North. Coach Steve York commented, I think we could have, no should have beaten Alexandria Anderson High- land and Muncie North. In fact, we did beat Alexandria once. ' The loss to An- derson Highland was during the CAC meet, in which the team finished 2nd, and the loss to Alex- andria came in the first round of the sectional. What makes the season ' s suc- cessful record so surprising, is that the squad consists of four freshmen, five sophomores, seven juniors and only two seniors. They were Jeff Stout, who compiled an 11 and 5 record as the 1 singles, and Dean Jaderston, 2 singles, who finished the year at 14 and 3. The rest of the varsity squad consisted of Sophomores Phil Starskey and Juniors Sam Craig, Alan Condon and Kraig Schmottlach. Starskey, Schmottlach and Rick Craig all finished the season with red hot 15 and 2 records. Over a period of four years, Stout ' s record is 45 and 14. Jaderston ' s record is 44 and 16, and the overall team record is 47 and 14. Jaderston ' s record is 44 and 16, and the overall team record is 44 and 14. Stout and Kraig Schmottlach, junior, .smashes a winner. Jaderston have both played varsity all four years. Stout attributed much of the team ' s success to the team ' s even distribution of talent. Coach York felt that this team was perhaps the hardest working team he has ever had. The kids had a lot of pride. I think the loss to Alexandria was unfortunate in that it ended the season before we were ready. No one on the team had a losing record. This is the second year in a row for this and we are proud of this fact. The reserves, led by Skip Gridley with a perfect 16 and record, finished with an outstanding 12 and 1 record. Gridley ' s unbeaten string extends, not only over this season, but last season as well. His two year record is 28 and 0. Stout, besides being chosen as Most Valuable Player, also re- ceived the Mental Attitude award. Sam Craig and Alan Condon were named All-Conference, with Ja- derston chosen as honorable men- tion All Conference. Sophomore Rick Craig was chosen as the team ' s Most Improved Player as announced at the Annual Fall Sports Awards Banquet. A smashing success, Junior Sam Craig whips one over the net for a winner against Muncie Northside. Yorktown lost the match, 3-2, despite Sam ' s efforts. Sam finished the season with a 15-2 record. w Varsity team members are (l eft to right) Coach S. York, D. Jaderston, A. Condon, S. Craig, S. Gridley, R. Craig, K. Schmottlach, J. Stout and P.

For the first time in six years, Yorktown ' s lady golfers defeated the No. 7 ranked Muncie Northside, highlighting the 1983 season. Senior golfer Vicki Crouch stated, It was really rewarding when we beat Northside. It was the best season for me because I met all of my goals. Even though this year ' s team consisted of only three seniors, the team had an impressive record. Mrs. Elizabeth Dunn, 11 year coach of the lady linksters, stated that the only thing she disliked about coaching girls, is that they couldn ' t leave their problems at home. But it was really worth it when I saw them improving. First year golfer Anita McKibben said, I gained a lot of experience, and I made a lot of new friends. This was also the first year that the team had a captain. Two-year varsity player, Amy Hammersley, was the first ever captain of the team. Second year golfer Lisa Valos said, It was really nice having someone else to go to for help. The girls came on second to Delta in the area Classic Athletic Conference. Ham- mersley led the Tiger golfers with an out- standing two over par 38. Amy ' s score was good enough for third medalist. At this season ' s sectional, Yorktown placed a predicted sixth out of twelve teams, in what was considered to be a very difficult field. ass s fe Sophomore Nancy Thise shot an impressive 86 to lead the Tigers. Nancy ' s score tied her for eighth place in the sectional. Senior Angie Arthur shot an 88 for tenth place. At the Fall Sports Banquet, Angie Arthur received Most Valuable Player. While Amy Hammersley was awarded the Mental Attitude award. Vicki Crouch was awarded Most Improved Golfer, for her dedication throughout the year. When asked why she enjoyed golf so much, Mental Attitude winner Hammersley concluded, It ' s a quiet sport where you can concentrate on what you are doing, instead of a sport like basketball, where you have the yelling and disturbance from the crowd.

Some of the most disappointing things that plagued this year ' s cross country team were injury and lack of experience, resulting in the season outcome of 2 wins and 5 losses. The Wapahani Invitational and the Jay County Invitational were definite low points because of poor team performances, Coach Owen expressed. However, most people agreed that the worst part of the unsuccessful cross country season was losing the number one runner to injury. The worst part of the season was sharing Mike Worley ' s disappointment in not being able to run because of injury. As our number one runner, Mike would have really helped the team in the big meets, Assistant Coach Newman stated. Most of the better moments this season Finding some relief after just completing an exhausting run of over three miles is second year Sophomore Runner Eddie Miller. Assistant Coach Newman came with individual performances, particularly Joe Dee ' s 15th place finish in the Sectional, is how Coach Owen described the highlights of the season. Individual performances were also a highlight for Coach Newman as he added, Having 25 runners out for the team shows the program is on the upswing. Another point about individuals was made by Junior Mike Worley in his comment, The best part of the team is the coaches. They are the key inspiration to any kind of success we have. We may not have the greatest winning program, but they help build winning individuals. Coach Newman stated about the runners, The cross country runner has to really be ' in touch ' with himself or herself both mentally and physically, in order to overcome the fear and the pain of the racing challenge. Most of all this was a season of 25 hard working students giving it all they had. This was illustrated by Coach Newman ' s statement, They are weirdos... who else would run 30-50 miles a week in training so they could race for 3.1 miles and then throw up?

It was a game in which the Tigers led until the final minutes. The defeat was a dissappointment but it was great to come that close to beating South, commented Junior forward Steve Small. For many people, the high- light of the season was watching the team improve. The improv- ement was evident in two particular instances: In the tenth game of the season, the Tigers lost to Daleville 54-31; in the , , nineteenth game the Tigers beat Ka|R LW . Daleville 79-73. And in the sixth game of the season, the Tigers lost to Southside 75-41;. in the final game of the season, the Tigers took Southside into overtime. Coach Harrold commented on the team ' s improvement. I saw an improvement in all of Burns just didn ' t have the right stuff ' needed to beat the Yorktown Tigers, as Senior Mark McKibben, forward starter, helped lead the team to a 53-35 demolition. Talking it over ' the players. Toward the end of the season we really began to blend well. Harrold continued, All of our best games were near the end of the season. Winchester, Daleville and Muncie South were where we played our best. Senior Bret Cook commented on the season. Competition for start- ing positions produced both positive and negative results, positive in that players worked much harder, negative in that attitudes suffered because of the jealousies. We began to work together at the end of the season, though. It was a good year for the Tigers as Seniors John Dee and Tony Brown were named to both the all-county and all- conference teams. Brown was also named to the Delaware County Sertoma All-Star Team. Senior Scott Francouer re- ceived the Mental Attitude award at the Winter Sports Banquet. Other winners were Junior Brent Hiestand, Field Goal Percentage; Brown and Dee, Free Throw Percentage; Francouer and Dee, Most Assists, andBrown, Most Rebounds.

When asked about the high points of their season, both the freshmen and the reserve basketball coaches and players answered with a resounding, We beat Muncie Northside! The Frosh squad upset North in the city tournament by a final score of 41-32, and the reserves pulled a 41-33 regular season victory. Anytime you beat one of the city schools, it ' s a big victory, stated Junior reserve forward Ron Weaver. It ' s great to beat a city school, especially in their own tourna- ment, stated Freshman Greg Miller. The Freshman A-Team, coached by Chuck Newman, finished the season with a 7-10 record. The B- Team, also coached by Newman, finished the season with an 0-11 record. Starting guard Steve Buck commented, We Scott Rudicel Freshman didn ' t have a winning record but it still wasn ' t a bad season. We had a lot of games that could have gone the other way. Buck ' s comments aren ' t without substance. Of the 10 games the Tigers lost, 2 were in overtime and 4 others were by less than five points. The Ron Baldwin coached re- serve team finished the season with a slightly better 10-8 record. We made up for lack of ability by playing hard. Everyone on the team improved. That ' s all I can ask, stated Baldwin. Junior forward Guy West stated, There was a lot of inter-team competition but we all still got along. You knew that when you were in the game, everyone else was pulling for you. I guess that ' s why we did so well.

This year was the first year that the Tiger Tankers have been defeated in the Classic Con- ference competition, finishing second to Ander- son Highland in the CAC championship meet. It was more of a case of improving competition than of a declining York- town program, stated Junior Frees- tyler Robert Werling. Senior Brad Hicks stated, Losing the CAC was a real disappointment, especially for the seniors because we had won it for three years in a row and really wanted to win all four years. Doug Fullenwider, senior, com- mented, Our record could have been better, but we had some prob- lems at the beginning of the year with personnel that really forced some changes. It worked out good though, because it ended up that the peo- ple left on the team at the end of the season were Sophomore Doug Green the ones who wanted to be there. The team worked out four hours a day, five days a week, one and a half hours before school, and two and a half after school. They also lift weights three days a week. Swimming is mentally tiring because of all of the time which is spent in practice, stated Junior Brett Yarbrough. In Sectional competition, the Tig- ers placed third behind Richmond and Anderson. State meet qualifiers were Robert Werling, 50 freestyle, medley relay; Doug Fullenwider, medley relay, and Rick Winegardener, medley relay. The Tigers did swim well at State, however no one placed. Senior Eric McNeely commented on the season overall by saying It ' s alot of hard work and long hours but in the end all of that dedication and practice is worth the ending results of a good season.

We weren ' t really cocky. It just didn ' t work out like we had hoped. We knew we could beat them because right after the Tournament we creamed them, stated senior Jill Winkle. She continued, The closeness of the team helped out in the tough spots. That was one of them. Coach White attributed the team ' s outstanding record to, the four seniors.

The team also finished fourth in the County meet and fifth in CAC competition. Many members of the team attributed their success to a knowledgeable, enthusiastic coaching staff. The coaches really helped us improve, they ' re rougher, and they taught us a lot of new things... They were really into it this year, stated Senior Tom Neal. Johnson attributed the teams improvement -not only to the coaches- but to a strong group of underclassmen, Mansker and Southerland did a great job for their first year. They wrestled older, more experienced guys and won consistently. The big problem of the season, however, was injuries. We could not wrestle consistantly because half of the time our best wrestlers weren ' t on the mat, stated co-captain Okeley.

' Practices started early for this year ' s cheerleaders, when all three squads attended cheerleading camp at Purdue during the summer of ' 83. The squads worked on flips, fundimentals and formations for approximatly eight hours at camp each day. paid off at the end of the week when the Varsity squad was named Most Improved. It was really great because we got to learn all kinds of new cheers and mounts. commented Junior Greg Applegate. The combined efforts of the guys and the girls made for many partner stunts and mounts stacked three people high. When asked how the girls felt about sharing the attention of the guys, Junior Heidi Schepp replied, They help us out a lot. ..when the guys get out there and act crazy it really gets the fans fired up. Junior Lisa Delaney also added, It ' s really worth it when you see the teams get pumped up and play really well. After the squ ads voted for their own captains, the results were Juniors Heidi Schepp and Greg Applegate leading the Varsity. Junior Lisa Dulaney lead the Reserve and Cathy Bryja was captain of the Freshman squad. This year ' s mascot was Sophomore Missy Colleen Coulon Senior Moore with Mary Spears as the alternate. For the third year consecutive year, Mrs. Claudia Wuthrich has been cheerleading sponsor. Senior cheerer Scott Brassart said, Mrs. Wuthrich is really great, she ' s always there when we need her. The cheerleaders also stay after school for many hours each week, spending at least two hours practicing stunts and cheers. Many more hours are spent gener- ating spirit by decorating halls, lockers, lockerooms and even suprising various athletes by decorating their rooms for special games. A big responsibility the cheer- leaders have is organizing pep sessions and planning bizarre dress days. Breakfast of Champions and teas for various sports are also the responsibility of the cheerleaders. Mrs. Wuthrich brought up that the spirit raises tried different angles this year like the bizarre dress days that would get the students involved. One of the changes included combining efforts with boosters When asked what she liked best about high school cheerleading Stacey Whaley admitted, Being more involved with all the sports.

A strong Reserve program leads to a successful varsity, as Coach Goodwin praised his seniors, I have coached these boys from their freshman year. They will always be ' my ' team. Out of the seven seniors on the Varsity team, six of them (Stout, Miller, Francouer, Dee, Good- paster and Cook) will be going on to participate in college level baseball.

V DASH Girls participate in healthy spring sport Under the direction of first-year Coach Larry Cooper, the Girls Track Team gained valuable experience in their regularly scheduled, County, Sectional, and Conference meets. Unfortunately, their only win was against Wes-Del in a tri-meet, and tied with New Castle, but according to girl ' s track team member Jun- ior Lisa Delaney, It was hard work and with a new coach, it made it harder, but we did pretty good for an inexperienced team. Returning track team alumni Laura Mark traveled from nearby Ball State University to assist Coach Cooper with the track team practices and meets. The girls track team members met nightly after school until 5 p.m. to run laps, condition, lift weights and prac tice their individual events. Senior Vicki Crouch, who ran the 100 meter dash, was awarded the girls track trophy for Most Valuable Senior from the Yorktown Lion ' s Club. Freshman Wendy Hershey stated, Track was fun, but it took up alot of time and required hard workouts after a long day at school. Girls Track members are: (Row 1) K. Pumphrey, V. Crouch, L. Delaney, J. Adams, L. Cooper. (Row 2) W. Hershey, B. Hahn, L. Rosson, L. Moore. (Row 3) Coach L. Cooper, A. Fatzinger, K. Walsh, B. Sparks, C. Hutchings, L. Dulaney, B. Dorroh. One of the high points of the season came when Freshman sprinter Beth Sparks broke the Classic Athletic Conference record in the 100 meter dash with a 12.6 second time. Recalling the past season, Senior Becky Dor- roh commented, This season was a lot of hard work. We had some disappointing times, but we had some really fun times too. Agreeing with her teammates, Dorroh continued, All in all, the good times and experiences gained made up for all of the work. In the County meet held at Delta High School, the girls finished in fourth place,; in the sectional they tied for ninth place with Cowan, and finished out the season fifth overall in the conference. According to Assistant Coach Mark, the girls worked hard and worked together as a team, and that ' s what participating in high school sports is all about.

The team, which is led by head coach Charlie Owen, entering his sixteenth year at Yorktown ' s helm and his twenty-fifth year coaching track overall, posted a some- what dissapointing 2 and 6 won loss record over the course of the 1984 campaign. Despite the team ' s mediocre record, there were several fine individual performances throughout the year. Sophomore distance run- ner Mike Cooper com- mented on the team ' s per- formances, We really ran well in several meets, especially at County, where we set a lot of personal bests. It was the high point of the season. We probably could have won it if our field events had been stronger. Senior Jim Kemp attributed the team ' s Track isn ' t all glory, as seen in the expression of injured Varsity Track member, Junior Mike Worley. successes to the coaching staff. Coaches Owen and Newman make us work hard in practice and they both really put forth a lot of effort to improve our technique. The Tiger ' s regular season victories came against Cowan and Wes-Del in the team ' s 5th and last dual meets of the season. As a team, the Tigers placed fourth in the Muncie Relays, second in the County Tournament and fifth in the Classic Conference meet. Coach Owen elaborated on a few individual per- formances by saying, Jess Neal ran well and won County in High Hurdles. Jim Hood and Jim Kemp ran first and second in the 400 at County. Mike Cooper won the 800 in County. The 1600 Relay team of Cooper, Hood, Kemp, and Ken Robinson also won County. When asked why he still coaches after twenty-five years, Owen jokingly replied, Old Charlie needs the money. That ' s why. The veteran coach continued on a serious note by saying, I guess I still enjoy working with the kids and watching them improve. Up, up, and away goes Senior Andy Marsh as he vaults the Tiger varsity to a victory against Cowan. Track team members are, Row 1: C. Ayers, J. Hogan, R. Morrow, S. Cooper, J. Durbin, R. Scott, B.

Sophomore Laura Strong commented on the team ' s victory over Delta, Every- j m one was excited when we beat them. It showed us that we could do it if we just buckle down. Freshmen Stacy Whaley contin- ued by saying, I like to win. I get to have my name on the an- nouncements. Although the team ' s record was not as good as it could have been, there w as much improvement over the previous season. Candy Davis, senior, com- mented, We all wanted to win this year, players, and coach. The coach (Mr. Parker) really goes all out. He really did well for his first year, stated Sophomore Doubles player Kris Kammerer. Chris St.John, sophomore, agreed that the coaching change helped the girl ' s attitudes. She said, He takes a lot of bull like, ' well we did it this Candy Davis Senior way last year... ' , but he handles it very well. The team had only one senior, Candy Davis. But what was lacking in numbers did not lack in spirit. Candy is like a team clown. Everytime we lose or get bummed she cheers us up, commented junior Maura Walsh. The team also lacked in Fresh- men with only two, Stacy Whaley and Stephanie Thonn. Coach Parker commented on the fresh- men, They were a real help to the team. They both played some varsity and their presence probably pushed some of the other players a little. Thonn continued by saying, We ' re competition for each other. Whoever wins in practice gets to play the next match. Whaley commented, It ' s nice to be a freshman and contribute. Taking aim is Sophomore team member Connie Bousman. As a first year player, she helped the Reserve team to a 3-7 record. I like being on the team.

The Tigers didn ' t disappoint their fans, as they progressed to an almost perfect season, suffering only one loss against a very tough Anderson team. The team also racked up its sixth consecutive County Golf title, with Senior Mark McKibben and Junior Kraig Schmott- lach placing first with a two over par 74. Schmottlach stated, ...that ' s the best I ' ve played all season. McKibben finished one stroke behind with a 75. The Sectional championship was also Yorktown ' s, as the linksters won at Anderson again with a team score of 313. Schmottlach was the top finisher for the Tigers with a score of 75. According to McKibben, Playing in all the major tournaments really gets a person going. It feels even better when you win them. Besides McKibben and Schmottlach, the Varsity team included golfers, Senior John Ros- son, Sophomore Tom Hurley, and Freshman Mike Hensley. Coach Bellar stated, They have consistently shot scores in the mid-70 ' s. Both Mark and Kraig have set good examples for the other golfers on the team. I must also mention Todd Man- sker, the gutsy little freshman who never gives up, said Coach Bellar. Most Valuable was awarded to Senior Mark McKibben; Mental Atti- tude went to Kraig Schmottlach, and Most Improved Player to Sophomore Tom Hurley. All of the Tigers ' home meets take place at the Muncie Elks Country Club, with practice beginning as soon as the snow thaws in March. Schmottlach stated, I like golf because we met the goals we set out to reach at the begin- ning of the season.

When over 85% of the student body chooses to spend a multitude of after hours in the yellowed halls, something is right. And that something right included... ° Drama Club cast and crew members of the play Fools ventured out at 4:30 a.m. to Park Tudor High School and performed a standing ovation cutting that forwarded them to state competition. ° Always a philanthropic organization, Honor Society again sponsored the biggest blood drive in Delaware County, collecting sixty-nine pints. n FBLA took over Lions Club Fairgrounds with an office and computer equipment demonstration entitled Technology for the 80 ' s. Even though our caffeine supply was cut off when the Pepsi Machines were closed down, Many students got along without the energy booster and got hyper in many club activities. Now you can panic! instructs Senior Jeff Sanders, alias Walter Hollander, in the fast-paced comedy Don ' t Drink the Water. Some work at a slower pace, such as Sophomore Lisa Crow, but achieve the same amount of excellence. Clubs Division ?7 Just a bit of Europe i-J ey, what are those funny little things you ' re eating? The person may answer with Gummibaren (alias Gummi Bears), the chewy little critters that are sold by the German club members Gummi Bear sales have been a hot item in the past, with the profits being split up into individual accounts going toward the pay- ment of the Frankenmuth trip. While in Fran- kenmuth, Michigan, members attended the year-round Christmas Wonderland. Since it was my last year, I looked at the trip to Frankenmuth as a lot more special, even though it is traditional, Senior Meg Williams commented on the trip. Not only did the club visit places, but they were active with other clubs. Sponsor Naomi Miller set up a soccer game with Northside ' s German Club. Even though North won 4 to 1, the team put up a good fight. Rick Winegardner was president of the club with 37 members with Tim Staton, vice president; Meg Williams, secretary and Ed Miller, treasurer. If you wish to participate in French cultural activities not found in the classroom, you may wish to join French Club. The French Club was active throughout the year having a Carnival Day activity, at- tending French spoken (but translated) plays; visiting the French restaurant La Tour on the top of the 1st National Bank in Indianapo- lis, and sponsoring a dance after the season ' s final basketball game. The club had 13 members with Tracey Haines, president; Todd Hofherr, vice presi- dent; Vince Cascella, secretary and Dawn Taylor, treasurer. Since it is such a small club, it ' s easier to reach decisions because everyone gets a chance to voice an opinion of what they want and they are satisfied with t he choices, stat- ed Sophomore member Hinda Mitchell. Another foreign language group is the Spanish Club. Around Valentine ' s Day, the Spanish Club made it possible for your sweetheart or se- cret admirer to send you carnations. They also had parties where they indulged on mouth-watering tacos along with a trip to In- dianapolis ' ChiChi ' s for a mexican meal. The group doesn ' t spend all of their time eating Mexican food, but they also partici- pate in foreign language week and travel to Mexico over spring break. We get to participate in a lot of activities. We do such things like sell tacos and sopapil- las on Carnival Day, is why Senior Jenni Spear enjoys the club. The club consists of approximately 85 members: Brian Retz, president; Cassie McCool, vice president; Melissa Coffman, secretary and Lydia Butts, treasurer. Spanish Club Row 1: R. Fuschetto, C.

Wait a minute I know that one, let ' s see um H 2 0? No, No hurry only 3 seconds left. I got it. Buzz- ed 2 Last year Yorktown joined six other schools for an academic question contest called Skill Bowl. Skill Bowl, similar to the Brain Game on television, has two teams with four members in each team. Every match consists of four quarters, with 25 ques- tions in each quarter. Questions range any- where from grammar to psychology to histo- ry. Where do the questions come from? From the teachers. Teachers from both schools pa rticipating in the meet are asked to supply questions related to what they are or have been studying. When asked why he joined Skill Bowl, Sen- ior member Scott Brassart stated, It ' s fun going to other schools meeting new people. The idea is to test the students on what a well-educated person might know, com- mented Miss Lucas, The benefit of the stu- dents is the recognition of their academic abilities and the mental stimulation they re- ceive in competition with others. Another kind of competition is Bowling Club. This year ' s bowling club has fewer members than usual, Sponsor Phil Kam- merer feels that it is because of students get- ting jobs and not having time to bowl. All it is, is a bunch of students getting together to bowl, commented Mr. Kam- merer. The Bowling Club meets every Monday at 3:30 after school at the Muncie Bowling Center, where they bowl three games. Junior Bowling Club member Robby Quirk commented, 1 enjoy bowling, it teaches you how to become a better bowler for future use and it also shows you how to get along with others. Two heads are better than one, is the philosophy of Skill Bowl members Michelle Orcutt, senior, and Laura Adams, junior, as they compare notes to determine the right answer. 100- Skill Bowl Patiently awaiting to score a point for Yorktown, Sen- ior Skill Bow! member John Rosson listens for a question from Miss Lucas before pushing the answer button.

This may sound familiar if you ' ve ever gone into the Tiger ' s Den to purchase a pen- cil from a DECA member who is learning how to operate the cash register, but by the end of the year, most Distributive Education Club of America students have learned how to oper- ate the cash register, communicate with oth- er people, and have learned the basics of career jobs. This year ' s DECA officers are Jeff Sewell, president; Larry Slagel, vice-president; Julie Bowers, secretary; Andy Hammel, treasurer; Charmaine Balsley, reporter and Tina Brock, historian. Another club that is active is FBLA. This year FBLA had many events planned such as a computer show at the fair grounds, state leadership conference at BSU, and other ac- tivities. Sophomore FBLA member Kelli Widdi- field said, FBLA gives you a lot of opportu- nities to meet both intriguing business people and students.

Kallida started off another fine year as they painted the town by placing original artwork on the windows of participating mer- chants during Halloween. Senior Art Club members Cheyneen Carpenter and Amy Hammersley won 1st place and a pizza din- ner for four at Noble Roman ' s for their ef- forts. This year ' s officers were Sam Schlagel, president; Stephanie Bean, vice president; Kris McCarthy, secretary; Amy Hammers- ley, treasurer. Senior art club member Shawn Bennett added, You don ' t have to be an artist to be in art club, we really have a lot of fun painting the windows during Halloween. Another holiday activity is the Sweetheart dance, sponsored by FHA during Valentine ' s day. Sponsor Mrs. Clela Saxman feels that Yorktown High School students really enjoy the Sweetheart dance, and that FHA has done a nice job preparing for it. FHA gives students extra-curricular activity, leadership and ability to learn new things, explained Mrs. Saxman. Other activities planned by FHA were a Halloween Party at Kindercare Nursery Center, a moneymaking drive for spring, and Community Service for nursing homes. This year ' s FHA officers are Kris McCar- thy, president; Mandy Stout, vice president; Amy Owen, treasurer; Connie Bousman, sec- retary; Karen Stringfield, public relations; Brenda Williams, money making.

KaJlida 10S Drama- It ' s Not Just an Act In order to have an evening out on the town New York style, you would eat dinner by candlelight and enjoy entertainment from the theater. Since New York is miles away, the next best thing to being there was Drama Club ' s dinner theater production of Neil Simon ' s Fools. the set, costumes and props on three pickup trucks one cold morning of 60° below zero, Fools cast and crew members loaded with the windchill factor, to participate in the regional competition for a spot to perform at state. Cast and crew combined made a total of 50 members tying the Thespian troupe with North Central High School for the largest delegation at Regionals. It was worth being so cold because when you get on stage you get a really warm feel- ing. And I feel we did a really wonderful job, stated Brian Marsh, sophomore. For the Spring play, Sponsor Terry Nel- son, directed Don ' t Drink the Water by Woody Allen, that opened March 15. Highlights of the spring play included play- ing a mud soccer game after set construction and working together as a close-knit cast helped make the play work. Other events that topped off the year in- cluded participation in the Annual Ozzie Awards Banquet on May 10, and The Indi- ana State Thespian Conference, where the troupe performed, Don ' t Drink the Water. Acting and plays aren ' t left entirely to Dra- ma Club. Speech Team does their share of cuttings from plays in meets around the state. The Speech Team, which consists of 32 members, competes among other high schools in many events such as humorous and dramatic duos, discussion, impromptu and poetry. According to Sponsor Bruce Gaylor, the purpose of the Speech Team is to im- prove the speaking abilities of tomorrow ' s leaders. Six members of the team made it to Re- gionals in their events. Dean Jaderston and Meg Williams won their events traveling to State competition. Freshman Patty Grimes chose to join Speech Team and her event, to overcome my fear of public speaking, I went into Im- promptu, which is very challenging; and you get to meet a lot of new people. To wrap up the year, the team gathered for their year-end picnic. This was the set of Fools until the cast and crew came back Sunday evening to tear it down. Junior Dra- ma Club member Alicia Hilton sweeps the scenic re- mains into a pile to be picked up. Geling lights for the play is one of the jobs that Drama Club ' s members, Joe Sanders and Frank Williams, must do besides running the lights as part of the technical Artists at work.

No, just another spirit dress day designated by our own Student Council members. In addition to planning the spirit games and dance for Homecoming Week, the Student Council ' s goals included the organization of school spirit, encouraging good-will between the faculty and the students, providing input on different school issues, running the Stu- dent Council class officer elections and assist- ing with the 8th Grade Parent Orientation and Open House. The Student Council also sponsors the an- nual Sadie Hawkins ' s Dance, where the guys finally get a chance to be treated to an even- ing out and plans the annual Carnival Day, which provides a break in the monotonous schedule between the Christmas and Spring vacations. This year, Tiger Pride Week was added to their agenda. The week provided varied spir- it competition in the form of Dr. Secttor Dress Alike Day and Pajama Day. An election for the 1st Spirit King and Queen, based on individual spirit, was also planned. Supervisor Keith Spurgeon works with President Cheyneen Carpenter; Vice Presi- dent Scott Brassart; Secretary Amy Wil- liams, and Treasurer Greg Applegate to keep the Council on the right track and to help provide them with new ideas. Also traveling on the right track was the Honor Society, as they sponsored the third Annual Blood Drive — the only high school in Delaware County to attempt such a venture. Plenty of blood was donated by students and faculty alike. The Honor Society holds blood drives and other projects out of good-will. Each month the Honor Society has a philantropic pro- ject, stated Sponsor Elizabeth Dunn. A few other philanthropic events that Hon- or Society participated in were filling Thanks- giving baskets for the needy, Christmas stockings for Special Ed kids, a Valentine — Bingo party at the county home, and a picnic for the orphans and kids from the Muncie Kids club. Not just anybody can be in Honor Society. At the end of your Junior year you must have a 10.3 grade point average and a 9.8 grade point average as a Senior at the beginning of the second semester. Then the teachers vote on your achievements to see if you qualify. Susan Ganion was president of the club which has 24 Seniors; John Rosson was vice president; Lisa Ferg, secretary and Bret Goodpaster, treasurer. Get Aquainted! That was the purpose of the exercises that Junior Greg Applegate and other Student Council members participated in from surrounding schools dur- ing workshops held at Muncie Central.

This year ' s club has 8 all male members. The club sometimes attend state contests if the members are interested in participating. Jack Jorden, sponsor, feels that chess is a challenge. Competing your skills against someone else ' s. Junior chess club member Mike Williams commented, I like playing chess and really enjoy the club this year. Some people feel that the best way to play a good game of chess is to use scientific nota- tions, like in science club. Science club is for anyone who likes sci- ence or for anyone who likes to take field trips to science-related places. Science isn ' t a brain club like many peo- ple think it is. We have a great time on the trips, especially the pizza parties, admitted Senior member Lisa Ferg. This year, the club has 40 members with Mark Harris, president; Tim Staton, vice- president and Michelle Orcutt, secretary. The club has gone on several trips this year, one of them was to Link Observatory in Mooresville, IN. I enjoyed the field trip to Link Observa- tory, I really learned a lot, commented Ju- nior member Robbie Quirk. Science Club Row 1: M. Orcutt, M. Harris, T. Staton. Row 2: R. Quirk, K.

This creative took first place during the parade in the school organizations cate- gory. Science 111 Showing Off C ' ome on reel the noise not at the Quiet Riot Rock concert, but in our own cafe, listen to Radio Club spin the tunes for the lunch crowd. The Radio TV Club has 169 records of some of the best hits, plus they try to buy a couple more each week. The objective of the Radio TV Club is to make us move to the beat at lunch and at the numerous dances throughout the year. With 38 members in the club, headed by Ryan Swain, president; Kurt DeBord, vice- president; Mike Burton, secretary and Kraig Schmottlach, treasurer; Sponsor Jane Schmottlach enjoys working with the equip- ment and lighting — and some of the music. Other people in the school also get their kicks out of entertaining us. Remember the cute-looking kid who pushed his way into our hearts by bringing us the great movie for a couple of Z ' s during class? The AV kids learn to do such things as dry mounting, VTR taping and lighting, un- der the supervision of Jane Schmottlach. Jeff Titamer ' s reason for taking AV is because I want to major in this class . . . it ' s fun to be in. Take one step out of the AV Department and you enter the library. Yorktown ' s library is where students get a chance to socialize and study. These aids, who work for Carol Georgi, not only learn where to put books, and how to find them, but they also learn how to order them. Being a library aid is not a job in big de- mand. To be in the class you can either sign up or get recruited from your study hall. Some good advice from Sophomore Aid Mi- chelle Kalley is, if you like to read, it ' s a really good job to have. Many students don ' t know what the library would do without the help of their aids. I really think the library aids are a big help. I ' ve become acquainted with them because every time they come to my class they have something for me, commented Junior Dan Hannah. . . . Speaking of aids, the office has them to do their dirty work, such as sending you a calling card to see the ever-loving dean, Keith Spurgeon. With a long list of duties such as picking up attendance, taking messages to students or teachers or just running errands, the office keeps them busy. We have too many things to do and not enough time to run in and out of the office, said Spurgeon. Not only are the students a help to the office, but the office is also a help to the students. When asked how she felt about of- fice aids, Lisa Wimmer replied, I think I really benefit from office aids because you get to see the procedures of an office. Office Aids Row 1: R. Weaver, L.

We finally made it. We were seniors. It was the greatest feeling, exclaimed Senior Jodi Redkey. It was a harsh reality, but we realized that this was our last year of high school. Some seniors realized this with happiness at finally being out of school for good and some with sadness at leaving it. Most, however, felt a mixture of both emotions. Senior Doug Clevenger expressed his feel- ings about being a senior by saying, The best thing about being a senior is getting out. Another plus for being a senior was ex- pressed by Senior Robbie Godwin, Being a senior is great because you get more free- dom. The future was on most seniors minds. With taking the S.A.T. ' s and filling out college appli- cations, most seniors had to buckle down and study a little harder. I had a harder schedule this year, commented Senior Mike Haller. Many memories of 1984 will stand out in each mind. Seniors Brad Cooper and Glen Ro- berson both added, The best part of our sen- ior year was the football team going to the playoffs. I ' ll never forget my senior homecoming. A bunch of us seniors were all fired up and we rode on an old car through the parade. It was a lot of fun. said Senior Jenni Spears about a special memory in her senior year. Senior Angie Rosinski concluded by saying The whole year has been great. I ' ve had a blast being a senior! That Senior pride is demonstrated by Jayedee Hough, Eric McNeely, Eric Glaub, Lydia Butts, Gary Johnson and Melissa Coffman between classes.

When you think about it, a lot of us have been together for twelve years. There have been friendships and a lot of good times. These are the things that will be missed most about YHS. Nobody will forget when some seniors rode on Robbie Godwin ' s old beat-up car in the Homecoming Parade ... or shouts of We ' re gonna party like it ' s 1984 at the dances after the games ... or rising up extra early to meet the gang at McDonalds for breakfast before school. I will miss the excitement of sectional bas- ketball and football playoffs 1983. It was great! exclaimed Senior Darren White. Go- ing to the playoffs was a big thrill for YHS. It will always be a special memory for those senior football players and the seniors who helped cheer them on. Not only outside activities, but in school Some good laughs are shared by Seniors Kris Fuller and Lisa Dusing during one of the many activity periods. events and relationships will also be missed. I ' ll miss the people I ' ve become friends with and the teachers who have helped be a great deal, added Amy McCoy. Since Yorktown is a small school there is a certain closeness and security that you wouldn ' t get at a bigger school. I ' ll miss the security you feel. When things are going wrong, you always know that there are friends here to support you, commented Cassie McCool. Though sometimes the thought of school was not always a pleasant one, the friend- ships, good times and special memories will always be remembered and missed by every- one. Most of all I ' ll miss the everyday life and memories I ' ve made here, summed up Ar- villa Farmer. With all of the memories, good and bad, it ' s too good to be through!

Maybe a doctor? No, I can ' t do that, I don ' t know how to play golf. A lawyer? No, I can ' t do that, I ' ve never even been in a bar. How about a teacher? No . . . No, No. It ' s already my senior year and I don ' t know what I ' m going to do with my life. I don ' t even know what I ' m going to wear tomorrow. College is only a few months away and I don ' t know where I want to go. I guess I ' ll be lucky to get accepted to Ball State. It ' s not that I don ' t like Ball State, it ' s just that I would rather go somewhere else, . . . anywhere else. I ' ve spent my whole life in the fast-paced metropolis of Yorktown; it ' s time for a change. I was thinking more along the lines of Las Vegas. Do they have a college there? Sure they do. Las Vegas University. Maybe I ' ll just skip college altogether. I ' ve always wanted to travel, see foreig n lands, learn new langauges and eat caviar. Of course on the salary I make at the local greasy spoon, I would only make it to Cammack. Well chuck that idea. There must be something in life besides college and travel. Maybe I ' ll get married. But first I have to find a girlfriend. That might be kind of a problem since I haven ' t had a date in six months. Who would want to date a guy with no future anyway? Some guys follow in their fathers ' foot- steps. My father is a high rise construction worker. No thanks. I get dizzy just going up a flight of stairs. Well here I sit, a lonely senior guy with no future. I wish I was one of the lucky ones who had his life all planned out and was sure about the future. Oh well, I guess it could be worse. I could always get draft- ed. — Doug Fullenwider First year Varsity Cheerleader Vicki Crouch gets involved in the Homecoming game against Centerville on a sunny, Saturday after- noon.

You don ' t feel like the un- derdog anymore, said Junior Doug Van- Cleave. I think this year has been my best so far . . . and I ' m really looking forward to next year, commented Junior Doug Young. The Juniors, as a class, felt they had a good year and were really looking forward to their senior year. One good thing about being a junior is getting to go to the prom, stated Junior Bri- an Wilson, while Junior Kurt DeBord simply commented, I ' d rather be a senior. The junior class traditionally gets to plan the junior-senior prom. The junior class offi- cers worked hard on this year ' s prom finally deciding on the prom theme, A Night In Heaven, a song by Bryan Adams. I thought this year ' s prom was great, re- marked DeBord, a prom committee member. I like our class. We ' ve been closer this year than any other year, stated Junior Amy Williams. Junior Tammy Cooper jokingly concluded, I think you should be able to skip your junior year altogether and go straight to your senior year.

Planning For The Future As Juniors, it is time to begin thinking about the future. Though there is plenty of time, certain choices must be made. Such as choosing to take the P.S.A.T. and the S.A.T., choosing colleges and planning for the future. The P.S.A.T. is designed to prepare stu- dents for the S.A.T. or the Scholastic Apti- tude Test which is a prerequisite for entering most colleges. Juniors often hate to think about spending hours pondering over hard tests that deter- mine their chances for going to college, but this, however, is often the procedure fol- lowed by students wishing to go to college. If that ' s the P.S.A.T., I hate to think about the S.A.T. ! laughed Junior Marlaina Freeman. Junior Sean Williamson added, The only thing I liked about it was that it got me out of class. While on the other hand, Junior Tim Ad- cock stated about the S.A.T., It wasn ' t easy, but it wasn ' t as hard as I expected. Students may be too intimidated by the tests. Going in to them with a positive attitude may be the best answer. Most Juniors agree that taking the P.S.A.T. will be a big help in knowing what the S.A.T. will be like. Many juniors plan to take the S.A.T. this year as well as next year. It ' ll take me a few times to get a decent score, laughed Junior Ron Weaver. As far as the future, many juniors are all ready deciding on the Armed Services, Ball State or other colleges for further education. While there is plenty of time left, juniors have begun making important decisions for them- selves about the next few years.

Guidance counselor Rick Thomas stated the reasons for this as being, State officials want students to know as much as possible about the history of our country. This gives students the chance to be more politically inclined and have a broader under- standing of why things happened as they did in our country. Juniors have one main complaint about history class — too many notes. This is a major part of the class as well as lectures, film strips and movies. There ' s too many notes, but the class is fun because you can cut up and talk about issues other than history, stated Junior Deana Hitchens. Junior Brian Retz added, I don ' t like writ- ing the notes, but they are helpful in studying for the tests. While note taking may not be liked by the unior class, Mr. Thomas also added, It ' s good experience for those going to college. So juniors are stuck with history, taking notes and writer ' s cramp in order to meet the state requirement of four credits in history.

This seems to be the way many sopho- mores feel about stepping up one more grade closer to graduation and stepping away from being pranked, cracked and stepped on by the upperclassmen. You ' re more free to do what you want to such as getting your driver ' s license and get- ting your curfew extended, commented Sophomore Eric Todd. Sophomore Debbie Blick stated, I ' ve really enjoyed my sophomore year, it ' s bet- ter than being a freshman. I ' m also really looking forward to my Senior year. This has been one of the best years for me so far in high school, added Sophomore Mark Pensell, I ' m looking forward to foot- ball and football camp.

This year ' s sophomore class officers are Ed Miller, president; Phil Starsky, vice-presi- dent; Vince Cascella, secretary; Kent Camp- bell, treasurer. Sophomore student council members are Dan Flynn, Allen Hahn, Eric Jacobsen, Greg Miller, Missy Moore and Pam Ober. We all know how the sophomores feel about themselves but how does the upper- classmen feel about them?

Where ' s the lifesaver?, choked Sophomore Dan s he searched through the pan of flour for the ught after lifesaver during the Homecoming games. Ah, the dating game, it begins when you ' re ' around sixteen and goes on forever, or at least it seems to last forever. This story is about Jack and his date Diane. Jack is your average sophomore guy who just got his license and can ' t wait to put it to good use. Diane is your average sopho- more gal who can ' t wait to go out with anyone who is old enough to drive. It starts when Jack asks Diane, that special someone out on a date. Of course she says yes, and being the Joe stud that Jack is he expected that. He tells her that he will pick her up Friday at 7:00, and to be ready. Jack shows up in jeans and a tee shirt and he honks — real studs don ' t go to the women — the women come to them. Diane is decked out in heels, Bobbie Brooks, and cashmere. Dinner is McDonalds, she is lucky to get a Big Mac on the first date, let alone a nice restaurant. When the guys show up in the middle of his McNuggets, Jack decides to ignore Diane because the guys might not un- derstand that he is now a man of the world. After a nice juicy Big Mac, fries and some stimulating conversation, they ' re off to the movies — Bambi and Snow White. Jack always loved it as a kid and since it only cost a buck fifty for the Disney double feature, he thought that she might like it too. She does even though she has seen them five times, before she was even four. The movie ends and the evening comes to a close so Jack takes Diane home. There they are out in the car and it ' s time to say good- bye, and being the Joe stud that Jack is he leans over to give her a kiss and she sticks out her hand and says, It ' s been real fun, let ' s do it again sometime. Diane steps out and walks away leaving Jack there all alone thinking to himself about the evening and his lovely date, Diane, Yep, she ' s crazy about me. m Sophomores Parker Hall Heidi Hammel Jeff Harding Mary Harris Beth Harrold Julia Harting Scott Harvey Tim Hayworth David Heath Heidi Helms Chris Helton Mike Hendrickson John Hines Ron Hirons Lana Hobbick Todd Hofherr Dave Hogan Nancy Hollowell Greg Horstman Lisa Huber Jodie Huffman Jerrod Hunter Tom Hurley Melinda Irelan Eric Jacobson Beth Johnson Dan Jones Kris Jones Michelle Kalley Kris Kammerer Becky Kendrick Shawn Landis Sam Laws Christina Levesque Sheila Lipscomb Brian Marsh Joe McCall Anita McKibben Kendra McNew Tim McPherson Randy Mercer Ken Michael Ed Miller Greg Miller Melissa Miller Regina Mills Chris Mitchell David Mitchell Darren Monroe Melisa Moore Rod Morrow Jeff Myers Chad Neal Jean Neuhart Rob Nottingham Mike Nowakowski Pam Ober Amy Owens Jerry Paris Tom Parker Glenn Peirce Shannon Pitzer Tammy Plum Sophomores m It ' s All Healthful For sophomores health is a required class by state law. Mr. Rick Thomas, Guidance director, stated, Health is a class that will encourage or demand you to think about health and have some knowledge about your body and know things that will help your body, such as the right foods, diet and cleanli- ness. Sophomore Debbie Blink commented on what she enjoys about her health class, I like learning about death and dying. Such things as first aid, the parts of the body, proper diet, cleanliness habits and sex education are also taught in health class. Sophomores also agree that though they may not always enjoy health class, it will be helpful to them. If I get in a situation where I need help or someone else does, I would know what to do, stated Sophomore Brian Marsh. Debbie Blink concluded by saying, Every- one needs to know about themselves and what goes on in their body. I got hit in the ribs in the second quarter and was out for the rest of the game, stated Sophomore Football Player Eric Jacobson after he was injured during a foot- ball game.

A Class With Pride Every class has something to be proud of . . . the seniors have Seniority, the juniors are now upperclassmen, and the sophomores are no longer freshmen, and the freshmen, well they have a lot to be proud of . . . from taking part in many activities to Dr. Secttor stating to the seniors that frosh are humans too. Being proud is only part of being a fresh- man. They have combinations to forget, books to lose, and teachers to get used to. From the first day of school the frosh had to adjust to the upperclassmen ' s threats and practical jokes, such as being set up on the water fountain and taking back trays. Cathy Self commented. On the first day I ran to almost all my classes. Traci Morgan said, I thought I would hate the first day of school, but I really like it. There was always something going on. After a while the frosh start to get used to their new responsibilities and their new excit- ing lives as high schoolers. I like the high school because of all the dances and basket- ball games, stated Jenni Buck. Norie Owens said, High school is exciting because of all the good looking guys. When Tim Simpson was asked what he thought about being a freshman he replied, I try not to.

However, to the freshman, weekends either consist of jumping in mom and dad ' s car with mom and dad or having an older brother or sister, who is generous enough to take them somewhere — any- where. Weekends would be a lot more exciting if I had my license, laughed Freshman Max Vancleave. Other freshmen have friends who are older that can take them places. As Fresh- man Melissa Ellis expressed, I usually go out with friends who can drive. It ' s more fun that way. If it were up to them, Freshmen would love to have their licenses handed to them right now. If I got my license today I ' d just drive around everywhere I could possibly think of, like the mall, McDonald ' s and to all my friends ' houses, commented Freshman Bri- an Wolfe. Freshman Stephanie Bilger laughed, I ' d go anywhere but home if I got my license. When it comes to dances at Yorktown, freshmen must either be taken by parents, go with a couple who can drive, have a date who drives or stay home. Freshman Jennie Buck and her date Brian Stockard doubled to the Sweetheart Dance with Steve Reese, who could drive, and Lori Wingate. We had a lot of fun. I still would have gone though if our parents would have to have taken us, stated Buck. The majority of freshman, however, wait until they have their licenses to go to dances. So freshmen must suffer with being chauf- feured around for about another year or so until they can get their licenses and then the fun of driving begins. 1tf2 Freshmen Tim Coulon Dawn Cox Jeff Cox Jeff Cross Howard Dillard Richard Dinkins Dawn Doctor Melisa Ellis Allison Eulitt Brent Fallon Robert Farmer Mary Fisher Rebecca Folkner Steve Friar Robert Fuller Marcia Girton Lisa Goforth Brad Goodpaster Scott Grasso Natah Greaser Doug Green Patty Grimes Rebecca Guinn Barbie Hahn Tom Harke Troy Harlow Sherry Harris Gordon Hensley Mike Hensley Wendy Hershey Mark Hill Martha Hinds John Hochstetler Jana Hodson Mary Hoeing Jon Hogan Chris Holler George Horning Carol Hutchings Bruce Irelan Jerry Jaderston Robin Kenney Robert Kimble Charles Kimbrough Kevin Koontz Steve Lee Steve Mann Steve Mansker Gidget Marcum Tamera Marlow Teena Masters Maryann Mathews Leon May Teri McCloud Tom McGhee Mike McKibben Tina McKnight Teresa McLaughlin Brad Metcalf Greg Miller Lisa Moore Eric Morgan Lew Morgan Freshmen m A look of anticipation is expressed by Freshman Scott Grasso as he anticipates another Tiger victory.

' Who me ... ? Get initiated? No way. I ' m a nice kid. Who would want to flush my head down a toilet? I think everyone makes this business about getting initiated into too much of a big deal. I mean if some big shot Senior asks me to carry his lunch tray back I ' ll simply reply, No, carry it back yourself. It ' s as simple as that. What can he possible do? Freshman Max VanCleave jokingly com- mented, I really didn ' t mind being drug to the pits, and then to McDonald ' s and made a total fool of, or asked to carry about 15 trays back a day. I almost fell out of the truck, but other than that I guess it wasn ' t so bad. At least they were nice about it, he added. Have a seat, jokes Senior Jack Freiders as he casual- ly places Freshman Scott Rudicel on the dreaded water fountain. Another thing that annoys me is that I see all my friends running to class to avoid the seniors. Well, not me. Running just isn ' t cool. I prefer to strut along at a slow pace. Then everyone tells me not to go in the bathrooms because they ' ll get ya for sure in there. Well if I have to go, I have to go. I don ' t care if there are seniors in there. I re- fuse to put my head anywhere near a toilet. Besides, those senio rs heard what Dr. Secttor said, Freshmen are people too. Anyone who is caught initiating a freshman will be sus- pended. So you see I ' m not worried at all. I don ' t know why everyone insists on making such a big deal about being initiated. What can pos- sibly happen to me? . . . What? you want me to sit on that water fountain? When? . . . Now? . . . Where? . . . Here?

Administrators earn doctorates What? Hospitals, doctors, patients, medi- cine and bedpans? No, in this case we are talking about hard work, management and Doctors Dave Hales, superintendent; Jerome Secttor, principal and Barbara Underwood, assistant principal. When asked what made each Doctor want to pursue a doctorate degree, they all agreed that it was a must for their jobs. The doctor- ate is the key that opens many different doors to many different jobs, is how Hales defined the degree. Though each Doctor has the title, they are not always addressed this way. But this does not bother them. In fact Hales prefers his given name of Dave Hales. It doesn ' t bother me at all, stated Underwood. The person means more than the title, added Hales. Though Dr. Secttor has never gotten a bet- ter table at a restaurant because of his title , he and Hales both agreed that there are ad- vantages of using their title. Examples in- clude things such as trying to gain information from a hospital about an injured player to the title of Doctor sounding more important when talking to people. Of course there are the disadvantages such as when people feel that they need to tell Dr. Secttor about the pain in their right leg or the pain in their left ear lobe. Emergency! Dr. Secttor please report to the cafeteria immediately. There has been an epidemic of food fights. Oh well, thank goodness the Doctors of the house are in!

' Teachers doing ' what they want ' What do teachers do in the summer when they ' re not assigning homework, lecturing, or handing out pop quizzes? Math teachers Jack Jorden and Phil Kam- merer, drafting teacher Willard Cheatham and English teacher Chris Goodwin continue to teach and do a little of the above while teaching Driver Education in the summer. They ' ve each risked their lives for eleven to fifteen years to teach license hungry students the rules of the road. Now you may not believe this but when Mrs. Clela Saxman isn ' t teaching Y.H.S. stu- dents how to cook, she travels all over the U.S. and Canada helping her husband drive his semi. What reasons do Yorktown High School teachers have for moonlighting? None other than Because Old Willard needs the mon- ey, was Mr. Cheatham ' s answer. Others moonlight just as a hobby or for both a hobby and money. If you are interest- ed in planning for your future Mr. Bruce Gay- lor, history teacher and insurance agent for United Republic Life, would be glad to assist you.

The man behind the I.S.S. room is Mr. Victor Osborn who moonlights during the summer and school year as a realtor. Our own rockin ' psychology teacher, Mr. Charlie Owen moonlights as a musician. He is the drummer in his own band which he has done for 30 years. He and his band play at weddings, dances and nightclubs among oth- ers. And what would summer be to some stu- dents without Nassau Swim Club? It is a pop- ular summer hangout for swimming, tanning, and being with friends. Nassau is managed by the swim coach and physical education teach- er Mr. Jay Ettl. Yorktown ' s own cat lover, band director and all round nice guy is Mr. Mickey Stisher. Stisher directs our summer band program, teaches band clinics and writes competition drills for other bands. Now you know what and why some of our teachers do what they do and these are only just a few of the moonlighters. You may not be able to imagine teachers doing anything but teaching, but when the teaching ends the moonlighting begins.

Some people might spend their 18th birthday by going out to eat, sleeping in, eating cake and ice cream, or by just doing nothing. But not me, I have to go spend the day in the kitchen for a yearbook assignment. At 7:30 I went to the cafeteria where I started with something simple, greasing 20 pans and 5 big pots. I got that done in no time flat. Next, I moved up to cutting jello. Yes, that ' s right, I ' m the one to blame for mutilat- ing the jello. After I got done with ruining the jello, I got to move pickles from one big bucket to five big canisters. I enjoyed that since I did it with my fingers, think of that next time you put pickles on your hamburger.

I continued to help out doing little things, like helping break and butter the rolls, which I enjoyed the most, besides eating them. Then came the hard part, lunch. I had to stay in a little room that must have been around 100 degrees, to load and unload the dishwasher, You know, they (cafeteria person- nel) have a lot of guts to put up with US. -Cathy OwensJZ which isn ' t easy. The water is scorching hot and the dishes never seem to stop. When I finally got done it was time for second lunch and I had to start all over again. I wasn ' t far along until two girls, Juniors Kristin Rees and Julie Hochstetler came up to the tray window and started singing Happy Birthday to me. After I was done doing all the disnes and cleaning up, I got to settle down and eat with all the cooks, who, by the way, have to pay for their meals. I found out about all the hard work and dedication that goes into the mak- ing of one meal, and believe me it ' s not easy. They not only have to please you, but they also have to please the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The next time you rush through the lunch line complaining about the quality or lack of food you get, remember that you can ' t get a cheeseburger and fries for under a dollar at any fast food restaurant, but you can at our own YHS cafeteria. I wish more people could have the oppor- tunity to spend one day, I mean one hard day in the kitchen, and appreciate those wonder- ful ladies back there who are cooking up a storm just for US! 1S0 Faculty Osborn-Spurgeon Cafeteria staff from left to right: B.

The pennies in your pocket. A state of the art satellite scanning the universe from 560 miles high. What do they have in common? All were made by Muncie-based Ball Corporation. Our home canning jars and lids have been a pantry staple since 1884. We make nearly one-half of all those sold. Ball has been manufacturing penny blanks for the U.S. Mint since 1981; we currently supply 70 percent of all those coins minted. Satellites? Made by Ball Corporation? That ' s right. Our aerospace sys- tems division is a leader in microstrip antennas, cyrogenics and, yes, has built 13 data-gathering spacecraft. The most recent, our Infrared Astronomical Satellite, discovered more asteroids in its 10 months in orbit than were known to man since the beginning of time. There ' s more. Metal beverage containers for brewers and soft drink fillers. Glass containers for leading food processors. Plastic food and juice containers, refrigerator door liners and intravenous feeding com- ponents. Zinc battery cans, architectural roofing and plumbing hard- ware. Display monitors for computer terminals. But, Ball Corporation is not only products. Ball is people, we think the best in the business. The Ball people living and working in Muncie and Delaware County join in wishing all 1984 graduates the best of success. Ball Corporation THE WAY WE MAKE IT IS MAKING US FAMOUS.

UP AND ON Tf e UP Have you ever had a day like ' that? Like what? You know when you get into Spanish class and Rocco gives you a pop quiz over verb conjugation, then you travel to your locker and find that some- body has ripped off everything you own except for your past due research paper. Yeah, but I try not to remember days like that. I remember days when I got an A on a Chemistry test, or when I hear my name on th e morning announce- ments for my birthday, or even days when I liked what was offered for lunch. I hear ya. Those are days when things are definately looking up. ' fe) kA V K% Closing m You ' re outta there! rings through the dugouts as Senior John Miller takes three strikes against him in the Jay County game. Down, but not out, Junior Robert Werling clings to the poolside after an exhausting 50 freestyle. On the way out following the traditional shaving cream water balloon battle in the parking lot, Senior Class President Angie Arthur looks back for one last look at the high school from which she would graduate. BL -JS ON JHB MHAY OUT mtf Going out with a flair appeared to be the theme of the school ' s conclusion, as all classes climbed the walls when the spring weather took a turn for the better - finally. Do you think Secttor would be ticked if we turned the freshman lockers upside down? ...When did you say Junior Skip Day was?...

Closing ifl 1HB FINAL UOie Hey Amy, why don ' t you write some touching copy for the last spread of the yearbook? I ' m only staying until 6:30... got any ideas? As the final five yearbook staff members (and Tim always-helping-us-anyway Adcock) sat around a potatoe chipped, Suzie-Q stained table in room 137 trying to complete the Episode, I eaves- dropped and copied down some final notes... ...Where can I hide my Kleenex in my graduation robe? I ' ll have to take my nasal drip on stage... - Managing Editor Kim Guinn ...I ' ve only been to the tanning booth once... - Advertising Manager LeeAnn Littell ...then Dr. Secttor said, ' Now let ' s try it standing up, Scott. ' - it was kind of funny - 1 guess you had to be there. - Photographer Lisa Ferg You broke my nail! - Editor Amy Hammersley Oh no! Now you won ' t be able to graduate. -Adviser Terry Nelson Then we all laughed and rolled back in our chairs, tossing the last 53 pages of your yearbook away. FinaJ Note: Just Kidding. m Closing In the making of a truely outstanding year, there ' s always a lot of US involved. And football is no exception. Junior John Durbin pumps up during after school hours to grab that gridiron gusto. Meanwhile, stealing center stage is trombone soloist Sean Williamson during Friday night ' s Spring Rhythm ' s performance. One final note for Senior musician Missy Reese as she reflects on an exhausting late night rehearsal at the end of a particularly rewarding school year. V ■ VVeW evea lc 4cuL 40 Ux ! You.
