OPENING (( As we go through the years friends mean more. Mary Spears junior )) OPENING Every once in a while you hit a year that ' s truly special. Special events, special projects and special people all made 1985 a year to remember... this time with meaning. The Yorktown Tiger Marching Band represented all of us in their one minute commercial to the na- tion, by being asked to perform in Phoenix, Arizona ' s Fiesta Bowl Parade on January 1. Fall Preview Fans packed the 600 seat auditorium and were turned away at the door for Friday night ' s perfor- mance of American Pop. The Computer Craze escalated as students and faculty members alike attended a full schedule of classes, workshops and special seminars to increase their knowledge in the Apple IPs potential. Pre-competition anxiety strikes horn player Fresh- man Michelle Freeman, before a playing audition to determine her chair in band. Beat friends Seniors Beth Freiders and Linda Dulaney take time out of class to discuss the latest scoop. Little things mean a lot... like the importance of a big football game as expressed by Varsity cheerleader Heidi Schepp, or the concentration needed to win points for the sophomore class as Mike Hensley hurries to wrap Coach Charissa Urbano in toilet paper, or the love put into all that we care about as best demonstrated by Student Council member Kara DeBord. Not all the events of the year were happy ones as Yorktown suffered rebellion, controversy and disappoint- ments as this year took on unusual importance for... The teachers as they combined forces and threatened to delay the start of the school year when negotiat- ing teams on both sides bumped heads and found compromise almost un- attainable. • English teacher Jerry Russell when he was fired after the first two months of school for reading a controversial poem about incest to his Literature I and II students.

THE YEAR THAT ALMOST WASN ' T fof t weather, hot tempers and hot disputes all combined to make this past summer almost too hot to handle, for teachers, members of the school board and the community at large. As the summer drew to a close, the teachers and school board of Mt. Pleasant Township realized they were no closer to a contract agreement than they were in late June when a 15 min- ute meeting, consisting of the school board making a proposal and the teachers rejecting it, ensued. Reasons for the initial rejec- tion were obvious, with the proposal including no salary increase except the built-in two percent increment, elimination of existing dental and prescrip- tion drug coverage in the tea- chers ' health plan, a require- ment that teachers make up snow days on a one-for-one basis, and the expectation that teachers pay an anticipated 45 percent in- crease in Blue Cross premiums. In early August tempers flared Headaches accompanied deci- sion-making as expressed by Sup- erintendent David Hales, following a long day of negotiation talks. as C.A.R.E. (Committee for the Advancement of Respected Educators) spokesman Terry Nelson gave a fiery speech that won her a standing ovation from hundreds of teachers and sup- porters at a regular school board meeting. In her speech, Nelson claimed that the teachers were tired of lip service... if we are your number one priority as you say, then we want you to prove it. The newly-formed C.A.R.E. group, together with the York- town Classroom Teachers Asso- ciation, worked hard to earn community support throughout the negotiation talks. The tea- On the air with Channel 13 is Chief Negotiator Chris Goodwin on the night teachers decided to accept the schol board ' s final proposal. chers set up information booths around town, picketed the su- perintendent ' s office and opened up a Crisis Information Cen- ter on Smith Street. A petition was also passed around by par- ents at the first home football game that resulted in a compila- tion of over 200 names in sup- port of the teacher cause. Initially, the teachers wanted a 15 percent pay hike, but as days of negotiations continued, this percentage kept lowering until the final settlement reached a 5.16 percent salary increase, including increment. Other ma- jor points of interest were those concerning job security and Tired and frustrated, negotiating team member Chuck Newman, fram- ed by Kay Schnuck and Marilyn Pickell, take a break outside the Lion ' s Club following a marathon negotiating session. major benefits in insurance in- creases. The final proposal was accepted just hours before tea- chers were expected to report to school on Monday, Aug. 26. Had the teachers voted against the contract, a strike would have been the most obvious result. Chief negotiator Chris Good- win revealed the final vote to accept the board ' s last offer was not a strong majority vote, but it wasn ' t extremely close, either. There was a lot of coopera- tive spirit, stated YCTA member Carolyn Jones. The community ISSUES and the school board learned to take teachers more seriously, she added. Something very good hap- pened out of a potentially ha- zardous situation, stated Nel- son, through working together for a cause, the teachers got closer and unified for the first time since I began teaching here 10 years ago. The end of the school board, - teacher dispute this summer did not, however, satisfy all teachers. Negotiations team member Chuck Newman felt that it (the time) was a lot of time and concen- trated effort that usually ended in frustration. Newman furthered his com- ment, admitting, We are still frustrated. - Lisa Huffman Was the school board justi- fied in the firing or were Jerry Russell ' s first amend- ment rights violated... ON THE SUBJECT OF INCEST C tober 30, 1984. It started out as any other Mt. Pleasant Community School Board meet- ing, with a call to order and the reading of last month ' s minutes, but when the meeting was ad- journed, English teacher Mr. Jerry Russell, was without a job. The issue began when first year Yorktown High School English teacher, Russell, 33, wanted to show his Literature students that poems could be current; that they could deal with pertinent issues, instead of dealing with just flowery subjects. The students said they were bored with poetry and complained that poets never talked about current events; that they always wrote about the past, stated Russell. Russell handed out a poem entitled, The Stepfather, by V. L. Reichow, to his second period Literature class, with the warn- ing that here was a poem that dealt with a controversial sub- ject, and the students could decline to study the poem if they objected. No one objected and the poem was read aloud. The poem did indeed deal with a serious subject- that of incest-and contained one bad word. This poem dealt with a cur- rent issue-one that is in the news, stated Russell, The lan- guage is shocking. It is offensive. But that was the poet ' s inten- tion. The dittoed copy of the poem went home in some students ' folders, and two parents com- plained to Superintendant David Hales about the poem being taught to their children. The following day, Russell met with Hales and Principal Jerry Secttor at which he was notified that his actions would be reported to the school board, while being suspended with pay for two weeks until the board could meet again. Two weeks later, Board mem- bers Hilbert Staton, Dick Hoch- stetler and Joe Winslow voted to cancel Russell ' s contract. One lone board member, J. Robert Taylor, voted against the cancel- lation proposal, making the final vote 3:1. Board member Betty Coulon was not present. The issue: Should Jerry Rus- sell, a first year English teacher, have been fired for reading a controversial poem to his stu- dents? Many students, teachers and community members did not think so, including the Indiana Civil Liberties Union (ICLU) who have agreed to press the issue, by financing Jerry Russell ' s fight for his first amendment rights. We think it was an awful sanction against Jerry Russell for his indiscretion, said Mi- chael Cradisson, the director of ICLU, what we have is the quietest, calmest guy you could ever have who just wants to teach at Yorktown High School. Russell ' s firing created quite a stir with local news publications, television and radio stations, all covering the hot issue in depth during the months of October and November. High school history teacher Pat Helms felt the firing threa- tened the rights of Yorktown teachers in general. If they can do it to him (firing of Russell) , they can do it to anybody. The students see worse stuff than that on H.B.O. (Home Box Office), and at home on TV all the time- Something About Amelia for instance. All the kids watched that, and were tell- ing me about it. That was no worse than this poem, continued Helms. Another teacher from a dif- ferent school system, offered his opinion on the subject in a Let- ter to the Editor in the Muncie Star newspaper. ISTA and the YCTA and the ICLU and the whole state of Indiana should applaud the firing, commented the teacher Ralph Locke, I can ' t see this case shoved under the rug because TV has programs with similar smut. That excuses TV-which needs considerable cleaning-not approval and to be condoned. However Russell ' s own Liter- ature students, such as Fresh- man Monte Masters, felt differ- ently, I don ' t think the poem was worth him losing his job, because he did prove his point. Junior Beth Johnson con- curred, Incest is something that is being talked about more and more-on the news, in magazines, on television shows and in the papers. ..it isn ' t something that should be hidden or covered up... I don ' t think the reasons why I was fired are justifiable, commented Russell, who is now currently employed as an assist- ant manager at Wendy ' s. I hope to be reinstated and to have my name sponged from the record to show that the action shouldn ' t have been taken. Russell added that he was anx- ious to return to the teaching career he once had. If we have to take it to the courts, we will. -Cindy Howe ' § W tA -A Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution holds number one album for 24 weeks.

A PART OF ME I NEVER KNEW EXISTED ' mmr ' - ' November, Psychology teacher Charlie Owen had a rev- elation. Mr. Owen found his biological family after a 45 year absence and, a part of me I never knew existed. The first time I saw my mo- ther was a very emotional time.- ..when we first saw each other we just bawled our eyes out for about a half an hour. According to the psychology teacher, I was never really con- cerned about who my ' real ' par- ents were. I always considered my foster parents my ' real ' parents. But my younger sister, Carolyn, became obsessed with finding our family for the past 5 to 6 years. Carolyn contacted the orphan- age in Louisville, Kentucky where she and Charlie had been left when he was three years old, and found out about their real family now living in Knoxville, Ten- nessee. That was about 1 Vi years ago that my sister went to see our mother. Some time after that Mr. Owen received a letter of forgiveness that stated she (his mother) would understand if he never wanted to see her. You see it was during the Depression that she gave us up, said Mr. Owen. So my sister and I got to see her this fall. I found that I had three other sisters and three other brothers.. .1 was the oldest of eight, Mr Owen continued. Mr. Owen found that he had been born in Louisville, Ken- tucky and that his real name was Charles Burton Blythe. It was really something to know you have a family. When we embraced (Mr. Owen and his newly-discovered mother), I felt a sense of close- ness to her without really know- ing her, Mr. Owen related. It probably would have hurt my foster mother if she had known about the meeting. ..but she died in 1974, Mr. Owen said. I found that I had a brother who looked just like me when we compared our family pictures. He told us that, ' We ' ve always known about you and your sister and always considered you part of the family ' . In fact the rest of the family had purchased a mother ring and had 8 stones placed in it. They (brother and sister) have always known about me, but we never knew about them. That night I woke up cry- ing, Owen said my wife asked me what was the matter. I grew up never wanting to be hurt again, he commented. After we met I felt something leaving me that I wasn ' t really sure I wanted to let go. I felt like ' it ' was protecting me and was a part of me I always held in reserve. ...I felt a lot of that hurt leaving. It all worked out good-it was good for me (to find mother)- ...it ' s really changed my life in a lot of ways. ..and it ' s changed my feelings about myself, said Owen. The whole ordeal changed my life, continued Owen. I used to be shy and guarded be- cause of not knowing my real parents. Now that I know who she is, I have a more clear outlook on life that has helped me to be more open in my own marriage. I ' ve taken on a whole new identity, added Mr. Owen. It ' s really something know- ing now that you have a family that you never even knew ex- isted. -Brian Marsh Party goers find local park building easy access for Yorktown ' s... PARTY ANIMALS c 0 eryone loves a party. When we ' re little kids we look forward to birthday parties. ..when we ' re a little older it ' s having girl- friends come over for pajama parties. ..now that we ' re a lot older, Yorktowners are definitely known for their party ability around the county. If you go to the ' frat ' parties at Ball State on the weekends, you ' ll find the majority of high school students there are from Yorktown, stated one senior athlete. The accepted attitude con- cerning students ' drinking seems to be that everyone does it, or kids will be kids. Even though the underage drinking is found everywhere, and not just at Yorktown, it is a serious prob- lem here and our community appears to be blind to it. So blind, in fact, that on five seperate occasions, high school kids were allowed to rent out the Yorktown Lion ' s Club Building without adult consent or chap- erone. These parties were open to anyone with two or three bucks to pitch in for the kegs of beer provided. For the hosts, it was the per- fect plan. One could spin the hits, while collecting the money from those who drank. We made over one hundred dollars by charging for the beer, one party host bragged. How could a group of kids get away with this? One student who was present at all the parties stated, A Yorktown policeman drove around the parking lot, but he didn ' t bust us. He told us that as long as we kept it inside, he wouldn ' t bother us. ' Muncie Deputy Chief Leroy Hahn stated, If there is a case where they (policemen) are at a 8 ISSUES party and know of alcohol being served to minors and they do nothing about it, then there is a definite problem, and discipli- nary action should be taken. After questioning Mr. and Mrs. Carol Schauer, who rent out the Lion ' s Club Building, about their policy on renting the building to minors, they flatly revealed, It will no longer be rented out. So the problem is solved, right? Wrong. You see, the issue is not that alcohol was available to minors in a public place. The real issue is the drinking itself. Parents and coaches also ap- pear to hide themselves from the fact that alcohol is consumed illegally by some of their kids and players. According to Athletic Direc- tor Bob Harrold, of the school ' s Athletic Constitution, The first penalty is suspension from that sport and the next sport season they ' re in. The second penalty calls for removal of that player for one calendar year. Regarding the multitude of parties thrown this year, Har- rold said, We coaches don ' t like to play policemen. The Athletic Director added, If we have reason to believe that a player has been drinking, we may have a one-on-one con- ference with them, but it ' s hard to prove anything. When I began writing this story, I had many complaints. It seemed that an awful lot of kids were worried about their parents reading this story. ..that they wouldn ' t be able to go to par- tieis anymore. Parents have said at the Par- ent Advisory meeting that they don ' t want to read about parties where only the hoodlums go, and that their son or daughter is involved in this very nice organ- ization called S.A.D.D. (Stu- dents Against Drunk Driving), and why don ' t you write about all of the good things they ' re doing? As one party-goer put it, Sure there are S.A.D.D. members at our parties. ..in fact, one of the executive board members passed out in the front seat of the car as she attempted to drive home.... -Lisa Huffman Tragedy strikes a Yorktown family as their 16-year old MISSING  arry Jo and Johnnie Terrell are still suffering from the loss of their son Timothy Wayne Terrell. Timmy to his mom, Tim to his classmates, friends, and teachers here at Yorktown died October 12, 1984. On October 5, Tim and a cam- panion ran away from the Del- aware County Youth Service Bureau where they were being held for running away and rob- bery charges. On December 5, his parents printed a plea for help on Tim ' s location in the Muncie Star. On the Thanksgiving and Christ- mas holidays, his parents held place settings for him and gifts remained out. Yet there was still no information on his where- abouts. It wasn ' t until January 12, 1985 the news would come. Del- aware County investigators dis- covered Tim ' s body in a shallow grave on a farm in Daleville. On January 10, police were given a lead to Tim ' s location. They were led to Chip Norris, a former Yorktown student, grand- father ' s farm on January 11. where they believed Tim had been killed by a self-inflicted gun shot would to the head, and bur- ied by Norris. After a few hours of digging, police uncovered a body and a bayonet in a sheath wrapped in a tent. Positive identification was made by Delaware County Cor- oner Glenn Scroggins on Janu- ary 12. According to police report, Tim and his companion ( a min- or) ran away from the Youth Service Bureau on October 5 and went to Chip Norris for help. Norris supplied the two with a tent, sleeping bags, food, and a .22 caliber rifle, then hid them on his grandfather ' s farm. On the night of October 12, Tim ' s companion was awakened by a gunshot, only to find Tim unconscious. Afraid of being charged in the death, Norris and the companion allegedly buried the body. Tim was involved in a paramil- itary group, The Christian Pa- triots Defense League, that play- ed war games. This one game, however, just went too far. Timothy Wayne Terrell ' s funeral was held on January 15, 1985, closing the mystery of his disappearance, but leaving open reasons surroundingthe mystery of his death. The story was a particularly sad one; one that would never happen to your family. But it happened to mine. Tim was my cousin. -Chris Terrell Mike Cooper, junior usues a meth- od introduced to him by Psychology teacher Mr. Owen, entitled Bio- feedback to help control his stress.

Many students feel each day is stuffed full of activities as students make it through seven hours of the academics, only to be guided by additional hours of athletic practice until you can ' t sweat anymore. When I ' m out of school, I spend most of my extra time in sports, claims Sophomore Swimmer Cathy Bryja. I spent 50% of my time at school, added Senior Mika Lindholm, the other 50% I sleep. Most of my time is spent at school, but I don ' t mind because it gives you something to do and you get to see your friends more often, commented Junior Jeff Myers. Super-achiever Senior Mike Worley boasts, 4- 5 hours of sleep a night. Why? Because I ' m so busy! Mike said. There ' s the play and track and FCA and school and newspaper.... Activities were in surplus this year as students could get crazy at Homecoming, get creative with numerous school plays and music productions, get relaxed with the unofficial Senior trip to Daytona Beach on Spring Break or get graduated at the May 24 ceremony at Emen ' s Auditorium. Searching a pan of flour for a lifesaver to score more points for the class of ' 85 are Seniors Amy Garrett and Tammy Cooper. Figures for graphs were taken from polls given to approxi- mately 200 students in January of ' 85, regarding the amount of time they spend in different activities during the week. i( I enjoyed going to Phoenix because it was like a reward for my 3 years of being a band member.

For the gold t ' s a time for alum- ni gatherings, ner- vous queen can- didates and float buildings and burn- ings. Yes, it ' s Home- mmmmagmt coming. Homecoming, September 29, came with a twist this year as the football game was in the evening to allow the band to compete at district that afternoon and also perform at half-time. I thought it was a refreshing change. (Homecoming at night) It was neat because everyone got fired up all day and thought about the game, was the opinion of Junior Lisa Valos. But day or night, the varsity football players proved they could prevail over the Winchester Golden Falcons, winning 21-0. The week pre- ceding the big game was, as in the past, filled with late night float buildings, dress-up days and spirit games. The senior class was awarded the spirit stick at the end of the week. Some of the senior girls went out of their way to sup- port the senior players and get them fired up for the big game by decorat- ing senior players ' lockers with bal- loons and signs, and by putting up signs in the hallway. We did this to show the senior guys we wished them lots of luck, id we wanted them to know we were behind them 100%, com- mented Senior Cris Geiger. Saturday morning parade down Highway 32 proved success- Colleen Riggs Vince Cascella ful for the Art Club, Kallida, that earned first place in the float com- petition with a nine-foot replica of a Tiger football player. Kallida members worked only two weeks on the final product, including many ■ after school and late night sessions. Kallida spon- sor Marilyn Trip- lett confirmed that she had come up with the basic idea but Kallida stu- dents, using their artistic and creative abili- ties, added the finishing touches. The float winners, along with the Homecoming Queen were announced at half-time. Senior Jennifer Bar- rick was the winner, escorted by Senior sweetheart Dane Carpenter. Preparing for the parade and half-time is an exciting time for all candidates and Jennifer wasn ' t any different. I went shopping and I bought a fuschia colored hat and sweater. When I went to find my car for the parade, I found out it was orange! It was awful, she said. At half-time, however, Jennifer had her big moment. She exclaimed, I was very excited when I heard my name because I ' ve never been selected for anything like it before. Barrick ' s court consisted of Junior Anderia Gough, Sophomore Cathy Bryja and Freshman Sheri Todd. Wrapping up the week ' s festivities at the spirit games is Junior Chantelle Hadley with Coach John Fullenkamp.

The Dance where the tables are turned and the girl gets a taste of what is ' s like to be the de- cision-maker on a date. She also may find out what rejection feels like. I asked some- one from a different school, so I was nervous that he wouldn ' t want to go to another school for a dance. It ended up that he was happy to go and we had fun, stated Junior Maria Godwin. Those 160 girls who found a date to the November 10 dance were welcomed by Mrs. Karen Brammer and her husband. Once inside, the couples danced in a mel- low, easygoing atmosphere of music and flashing lights, provided by Electric Dance Company. I thought the music was good, but they could ' ve used more videos, was the opinion of Sophomore Brett Brown. Taking a breather, couples cooled off with fruit punch or cider dipped from a tin cup and ate coo- kies. Pairs sat along the student center to escape the heat generated from wild people dancing in the cafe, to get off of their feet, or to find out who had brought whom. After couples had time to get their pictures taken, the Corn King award- winner was an- nounced. With last year being no different than thi;- year, Junior Dan Flynn was the ; was glad to have won, especially when you ' re up against seniors, who usually win, Flynn said.

In their dignified hillbilly hats and robes, they collected the sacred vows by the bride and groom. It was fun pre- tending to get married to Eddie, (Clevenger) but I ' m not quite ready for the real thing yet! commented Senior Candy Fogle. In the last couple of years, fashion at the Sadies dance has changed from the trad- itional flannel, □ overalls and straw hats, to striped and plaid button downs, fashion- able pullover sweaters, leather ties, and of course jeans. Trying to get a grip on the fashion scene were Seniors Pam Fullenwider and Jimmy Winkle who wore matching mini-skirts. Pam and I were out looking for shirts and we saw mini-skirts. I joked around and said we ought to wear them. After that, she got two to- gether and I told her we were going to wear them. It was just something crazy and different to do, Winkle laughed. Senior Alissa Ziegler com- mented about Winkle ' s choice of dress, It was funny. It didn ' t sur- prise me at all, because Jimmy ' s always doing things like that!

SADIES 15 A predominately rookie cast spent late nights rehearsing a play that relied heavily on dialogue but was still worthy of... PRESENTING Ine rront rage t ' s Chicago and the time is the 1930 ' s. The scene is the newsroom. It ' s here we meet Hildy, portrayed by Sophomore Leon May. Hildy wants to break away from the news- paper business and go on a belated honeymoon. There is a jailbreak and into Hildy ' s hands falls the escapee as hostage. He hides his prize under a rolltop desk and calls his editor Walter, played by Fresh- man Brett Lotz. The three act play, presented on Novemberl and 2, by members of the Drama Club, was an especially difficult play to present, according to Director Terry Nelson. It was a difficult play to pro- duce because the story relied heav- ily on dialogue. There was a lot of memorization and late rehearsals. It was so unusual in that over three-fourths of the cast were new- comers to the stage, Nelson said. The story re- lj . volved around a jailbreak and break- ing of a big story . The come- dy, once made into a popular movie starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, popular- ized poker playing outside of rehearsals and at the cast party since the reporters in the play had to rehearse the game so much. Besides the on stage direction and acting, the set crew, consisting ofbot s and drama club corn- worked hours on weekends transforming the audito- rium stage into the setting of a 1930 ' s Chicago newsroom. The Steve Winslow ushers added to the illusion as they even dressed as newsboys and passed our Front Page programs to high- light the performance. Also instrumental to the show ' s suc- cess were the light and sound crews, consisting of Juniors George Poulsen and Joe Sanders, and Seniors Todd Young and Frank Williams. The sound men handled the task of working out the loopholes in the new $20,000 sound system. Poulsen admitted, We got feed- back from the new equipment and had to work around it all, but it worked out alright in the end. Besides the trou- ble with the sound system, the cast was confronted with another prob- lem: Where were they going to find a rolltop desk big enough to stuff the escaped murderer, played by Senior Steve Winslow? The prop committee members couldn ' t find one, so Nelson simply rewrote part of Act Three to hide the murderer under the desk. Nelson laughed, The results were funnier than how it was originally written. Student directors were Thespi- ans Jennifer Johnson and Dawn Taylor. The tough, macho reporters were fun to portray, stated Senior Kevin Morey, who played Reporter McCue, but it took me forever to get the ' Chicago twang ' . That ' s right, Walter, I quit! fumes Hildy, played by Sophomore Leon May, while reporters Fresh- man Jeff Riggs and Junior Todd Gilbert look on.

FALL PLAY 17 Changes in the choir department sparked enthusiasm for a different type of Fall Preview. The theme of this year ' s show celebrated... PERFORM American Pop ith new risers, new outfits, a new sound system and a whole new show, this year ' s choir members work ed hard to produce a quality Fall Preview on November 16 and 18. In the past, the show included varieties of pop, country, broad- way, jazz and gospel. This year ' s theme, American Pop, forced the choir members to per form more pop music than anything else. Choir director Joanne Keesling felt that a change in the order of the show was needed to spice it up. After six years of the same format, I felt the need for change. I think it turned out real nice. The change in the order of the show included the entire first half as a fast-paced, non-stop medley of pop music from the ' 50 ' s through the ' 80 ' s. Highlights included solo- ists senior Mike Jarnagin ' s Only You, and Junior Shelley Gillette ' s Flashdance. The second por- tion of the show opened with a broadway number with various solos and duets inserted between each choir ' s section of the show. Perhaps the most diffi- cult part came in the Oz Wiz med- ley. The medley was done in true Wiz style, including Wizard of Oz character Dorothy, soloist Jun- ior Tracy Walder. It featured many special effects that required precise timing. Timing and many hours of work combined to make the show a suc- Norrie Owens cess, selling out on its first perfor- mance. Each choir practiced at the start of the school year. As the per- formance day neared, there were many more mass choir practices that lasted far past the 2:45 pm bell. I never thought I ' d make it. The practices were so much harder that I was used to from middle school choir, admitted first-year member Molly Burress. This year ' s show included harder choreography than in the past, ac- cording to Keesling. Former swing choir member Damon Brown, cur- rently a member of Ball State Sin- gers, taught much of the choreo- graphy for the first half of the show. Sharing time with practice was time selling dif- ferent things to fund the new $1250 synthesizer, and the $2850 for risers. The annual rock-a-thon raised the money for the new outfits purchased this year The choirs sold through the summer such items as gift checks, trash bags, and vanilla. With Fall Preview being the first show of the year in the newly reno- vated auditorium, the sound sys- tem was hard to work with. It was frustrating working with the sound system because it had just been installed and the levels weren ' t set yet, commented Junior George Poulsen, who worked with the sys- tem. Along with Poulsen was Jun- ior Ryan Swain, and the lighting crew consisted of Seniors Mark Voiles and Derek Neff. Junior Mike Hendrickson worked on the light board.

FALL PREVIEW 19 In their one minute commercial to the nation, band members finally realized a hard-earned dream... ever or nearly 18 W weeks, the 118 m- band members and m 1 their boosters ate, JL drank and slept Fiesta Bowl. The band ' s goal was to raise the S90.000 they needed to fund a Dec. 27 to Jan. 2 trip to Phoenix, Ariz- ona, where they would perform and compete in Fiesta Bowl activities. Commenting on the fact that Yorktown was the only band in Indiana to be represented there, Senior Brad Holloway expressed, I felt it was a great honor to represent my school in the pageant, but it was an even greater thrill and respon- sibility to know we represented our state. In f act , it would ' ve been almost impossible to live in eastern Indiana and not know about the many fund-raising activities involved. These included a Marsh Grocery Shopping Spree, Green Travel Service Delta Airlines Ticket Drawing and a part in the Indiana Pacer ' s Bow Ties, Bal- loons and Basketball that opened in downtown Indianapolis. They continued with a pancake and sau- sage supper, a WERK radio auc- tion, and a Bowl-a-thon. The Rent- a-kid program, coordinated by Mr. and Mrs. Mel Reese, included odd jobs ranging from cemetery burials to cabin decorating. It was strange to bury someone. I had to stomp on top of the casket and pack the dirt down real well, exclaimed Junior Steve Reese. But why would little old York- Beth Frieders town be chosen for such a presti- gious event? Band Director Mickey Stisher explained, We were chosen for our well-rounded music pro- gram. I submitted a tape of our show with a detailed description of our group ' s achievements and activities. Even though the band spent numerous hours preparing for the field competition Dec. 30, where they finished in eighth place out of eleven, the band found time for fun and sightseeing. On the 28th, all the bands went to Rawhide, an old-fashioned western town where they had a big steak fry and dance. One of the more unique occur- rences took place on New Year ' s Eve when Chuck E. Cheese pizza parlor, their restaurant for the night, was burned down when they arrived. We all sat there on the bus until Mr. Stisher came back and an- nounced that we had found a place that would stay open for us. We counted down and celebrated New Year ' s on our way to the Big Apple restaurant. We set our watches and celebrated in Phoenix as well as Muncie time! reflected Junior Rod Morrow. The incident became the center of many jokes that night. Every time Chak-a-Khan came on the radio, the band sang Chuck-E-Cheese. This was our one minute com- mercial to the nation, expressed Band Director Mickey Stisher. Practice takes on a different per- spective when viewed through a trom- bone as the band awaits instructions. 20 FIESTA BOWL Senior trombonist Bill Applegate gazes over the Fiesta Inn balcony, while poolside pleasure relaxes Seniors Dave Helms and Dave Hershey. Fiesta Bowl was the result of a 890,000 fund- raising project to send the band to Phoenix, Ariz- ona for fun and competition. Highlights of the trip were marching in the Fiesta Bowl parade and cele- brating the New Year s Dav completion of a six- month effort. FIESTA BOWL 21 The gun went off. The green and white clad crowd sprang from their seats and en veloped team members for their seeming upset over 19th ranked Southside. Their excitement was short-lived, as the clock revealed three seconds left of... LIVI in agony £ £ he thrill of victory rand the agony of defeat-all within three seconds, is how one fan summed up the Muncie South- Yorktown Sec- t ional game on March 2. It was a game that had the entire fieldhouse sitting on the edge of their seats as the clock ticked away with the gun prematurely going off three seconds early, sending the roaring Tiger crowd out on to the floor for cele- bration. The Yorktown green-hatted crowd was sent back to their seats in con- fusion, not realizing there were three seconds left of play. All in the remaining three seconds South ' s Anthony Roberts passed the ball to teammate Robbie Con- aster, who fired a 17-foot basket over three Tiger defenders to win 44-43. The whole team felt we got cheated, but it was over and there was nothing we could do, reflected Junior center Greg Miller, who led the Tigers in scoring 16 points. Sophomore fan Todd Pursley stated, It was the greatest feeling to rush out on the floor like that, and when we lost, I stood there dumb- founded. I could not believe that shot went in. When South threw it back in our face, I was mad at first, but then I felt proud at how well we had done, Pursley added. In the Broadcaster and on the chool announcements, Principal Jerome Secttor expressed, There is an important difference between being defeated and losing. We lost Dawn Barber cstacy the South game to a fluke, a one in a million possibility. We were not defeated. In a semi-final game the previous night, Yorktown won an equally exciting 38-37 game over 12th ranked Muncie Central. Beating Central was the biggest accomp- lishment all season. It was great, was the opinion of Varsity player Troy Case. Just as the last second shot by Conaster on Sat- urday lost the game for York- town, a last second shot on Friday by Miller saved the game for us. Again Julie Hochstetler Miller led scoring with 12 points. Crowd support seemed to be an important factor for the players as Miller stated, The crowd was awe- some! I felt Yorktown showed the most respect and had the most spirit of any other school. stated Senior Kim Kimbrough. Junior Bryan Beeson agreed by saying, Despite the disappointment in the end, I feel the support of the fans was surprisingly strong and the players did their best. The tremendous upset over the Central Bearcats thrilled fans as it was the first upset in 12 years. First year Varsity Basketball coach Mike Necessary, formerly Wes-Del High School ' s coach, headed the Tigers with their suc- cessful season, which ended at a 12-9 record. After the heartbreaking loss, Vice- Principal Barbara Underwood embra- ces Tiger mascot Karen Walsh, sharing the agony of defeat. 22 SECTIONALS Senior Guard Jim Winkle files through anx- ious fans en route to the team bus and the Muncie South match-up.

SECTIONALS 23 Neither blizzards nor ice-packed roads kept the members of the set crew from building three different sets on wheels, as they snowmobiled in during snow days to bring you the spring play. IN, rwi MTh f w jr 7 d W T%Ti Charley ' s Aunt ' hat do snowmo- f T y biling, garden tea m M parties and a man M M in a black taffeta W y gown have in com- mon? Usually nothing, but then the Spring play, Charley ' s Aunt, consistently proved to be the exception rather than the rule. Losing a week of rehearsal due to snow, set crew members put the time to use by snowmobiling in to work on a walls on wheels set. The set was devised to accomplish three complete set changes through- out the produc- tion. Set crew member Dave Heath expressed, The best thing about working on set was seeing the final product after it was finished. The snow week actually worked for the actors ' advantage, according to Play Director Terry Nelson, who stated, I think the week we were out for snow helped the cast. ..It gave us a sense of urgency, and the actors worked really hard after that. For the first time the cast at- tempted an 1800 ' s production with English accents. The storyline in- volves Jack Chesney, violently in love with Kitty Verdun, and Char- ley, equally in love with Amy Spet- tigue. They invite these young ladies to their rooms for luncheon-in order to meet Charley ' s Aunt from Brazil ( where the nuts come from ). But the millionaire aunt sends word that she won ' t be able to come for a few days. After Fanny Babbs dresses as Charley ' s Aunt as a favor to Jack and Charley, the real aunt Brian Luke shows up. The confusion continues, but in the end, everyone lives happily ever after. Charley ' s Aunt (Ahnt, not Ant) was played by Senior Kevin Morey, who learned what it ' s like to be in women ' s clothes by getting in and out of the long, black taffeta dress and bustle quickly. Reflecting on his performance, Morey ex- claimed, Thank God I ' m not a girl! Acting alongside Morey were Sen- iors Brian Luke and Dave Lami- rand, who played ' college chaps ' Charley Wykeham and Jack Ches- ney. Novice actor Luke expressed his feelings the first time on stage as Wow. He admitted, I didn ' t think I could memorize all those lines! Lamirand, however, was no roo- kie to the stage, acting in his sev- enth production. He felt, It was the most well-casted play I ' ve been in. We all worked well together. I think it was the best part for me. Lamirand was also Student Direc- tor for the Christmas production, ! Christmas Corral. Also a novice ;tor was Junior [ary Spears, who ad one scene in hich she tried to ake herself cry. I thought about y dad who was in the hospital getting an oper- ation. When the production was over, the cast had a party at Director Terry Nelson ' s home, where a unique poker game (played with Gremlins Cereal) became the center of attention. Nelson laughed, It didn ' t matter if you were losing, we just ate the profits! actor was Junior ■1? Mary Spears, who ± had one scene in which she tried to i Jrtw make herself cry.

REMEMBERING ing mmediately fol- lowing Spring Break, Prom Awareness Week dominated Y.H.S. Guvs without dates desperately sought after any decent, female. Those girls without dates flocked around the guys with flirta- tious smiles and girlish grins. Those 142 couples who did suc- ceed in landing a date for the occa- sion gathered on April 20 at the Carolina Room, located above the Village Bowl in Muncie. Sponsoring the dance, the Junior class sold magazine subscriptions in the fall to raise the $2,100 needed. The rate the magazine sales are going, this year ' s prom will be held in the parking lot under a tent, rang out on the school announce- ments each day during the sales. The decline of subscriptions sold was saved by $500 that was left over from candy sales during their fresh- man year, accord- ing to Business Manager Eric Todd. Other class officers combined to make the night a success by meeting and planning with dance sponsors Marilyn Nay- lor, Barbara Gooden, Sally Parris and Phil Kammerer. Junior class Secretary Connie Bousman stated, The planning of it all was a lot of fun and we were proud when we saw the final product. An attractive atmosphere of light slue, lavender and white draped the room. With Remember the Feeling Derek Neff as its theme song, the music was by Diversified Sounds, with Randy Baird as the disc jockey. I thought having a disc jockey was a lot better than a live band because you could hear the songs you wanted-the way you were used to hearing them, stated Senior Amy Williams. Senior Jennifer Barrick was crowned as Prom Queen with Senior escort Dane Carpenter. Seniors Pam Fullenwider, Heidi Schepp, Rhonda Pearson and Amy Williams were members of the Queen ' s Court. When the Queen was crowned and the clock struck mid- night, it was time to get out of those tight neck-ties and hooped skirts and into something a little more comfortable. The Post-Prom party was held in the bowling alley down- stairs, complete with raffle draw- ings, bowling, dancing, video games, food and movies. I liked the Post- Prom better because it was a more relaxed atmosphere, and there was plenty to do to keep everyone busy, was the opinion of Junior Eric Todd. When the evening came to a close, most prom goers found out that all their efforts during Prom Awareness Week paid off with at least ten hours of good memories. It was a night to remember as cou- ples such as Junior Joe Sanders and his date danced, while others smiled pretty for the camera. Junior Tom Kemp and his date Freshman Sheri Todd pose for a picture while Sopho- more Brian Stocker and Junior Dawn Taylor take a breather and relax from dancing. 26 PROM Prom Court and escort : Terry Terrell, Pam Fullen- wider, Bret Cook, Amy Williams, Dane Carpenter and Queen Jennifer Barrick, Scott Francouer, Heidi Schepp, Derrick Dobbs, Rhonda Pearson.

PROM 27 With a brand new format, the Variety Show took on a competitive form as WZPL ' s Jonathon Doll judged and then was the disc jockey for the Choir sponsored dance... PTJTTTN 9 on the hits iving up to its Lname, the Variety Show had just that-variety. An entirely new for- mat sparked en- thusiasm for the students who auditioned acts for the two night show. Puttin ' On The Hits, was exe- cuted much like the real television show, complete with competition in lip sync, live vocals, dances and live instrumentals. The show was a two night process of elimination. The April 25 show was judged by members of Ball State Singers, who decided which acts would go on to perform the next night in the final competition. The sense of competi- tion made it fun and challenging, remarked Junior performer Shelley Gillette. The competition stiffened at the Friday performance, where WZPL ' s Jonathan Doll judged the nine re- maining acts. Of those nine acts, Gillette ' s solo performance of Honestly Love You proved the best, winning a grand prize of $25. First runner-up was Sophomore Jessie Bogg, who did a dance rou- tine to Poetry In Motion. Close behind was Freshman David Jour- dan ' s performance of Prince ' s The Beautiful Ones. Anchoring third runner-up was Sophomore Steph- anie Thonn ' s piano solo to Far From Over. I was very excited and surprisedwhen I placed, stated Thonn. After the competition was over, a Lisa Valos Shelley Gillette choir-sponsored dance prevailed in the gym, with Jonathan Doll as the disc jockey. It was neat to have someone there that I hear on the radio every day, commented Freshman Sabrina Collins. Not only was the show a success, but the dance proved to be highly profitable for the choir department as well. I think we ' ll keep this for- mat next year because we made enough money at the dance to pay for our jackets that the juniors will re- ceive at the choir banquet this spring, stated choral director Joann Keesling. Along with Taylor, Seniors Mike Jarnagin and Bill Applegate were student directors. They took on the task of organizing and preparing the show. They did a lot of phone cal- ling to put together the prize pack- ages that were given to the winner and the respective places after first. Also doing their part were Seniors Julie Hochstetler and Kevin Morey, who were the emcees for the Thurs- day night show. They had numer- ous costume changes throughout the performance to keep the crowd pleased. The Friday night show was emceed by Morey and Senior Todd Walker. It was really a lot of fun! reflected Hochstetler. Spring is the end of many seniors ' choir careers. Senior Cindy Taylor stated, It was fun being a student director for the Variety Show. Performing a lip tync to Prince ' s The Beautiful Ones is Freshman David Jourdan. The song won him a third placing in the competition. 28 VARIETY SHOW Yorktotcn ' s first ballet was a sight to see as Seniors Kenny Williams and Phil Ramsey point their toes to Van Halen ' s Hot For Teacher. Audience participation took part in the Friday night performance with emcees Seniors Todd Walker and Kevin Morey. VARIETY SHOW 29 The end of a twelve year career came to a halt as 185 seniors gathered in Emen ' s auditorium to receive their diplomas and say their good-byes... up twelve years ore than just the M Jm formal commence- ■ m ment excercises l and a farewell A j L. handshake by the school board, the 185 seniors spent the evening of May 24 reflecting the many experiences, hardships and friendships that ac- companied their high school careers. Senior Kurt DeBord stated this his own way by saying, The best part of graduation is the freedom it brings, but the worst, by far, is say- ing good-bye. DeBord, also the salutatorian, gave a speech to the packed crowd of Emens Auditorium about past remembrances, including high- lights of each year they experienced at Yorktown High School. Class Valedictorian Skip Gridley . - r j -y also spoke, with a 2 mJtaf ' . theme of chal- Kim Kimbrough lenge. In his closing comments, he jokingly told his fellow class- mates to go and, may the force be with you. Other class of- ficers had duties to perform throughout the night. Annette Reed, Julie Kennedy and Maura Walsh were in charge of the benediction, prayers and the pledge of allegiance. Much of the evening was exe- cuted in the formal manner. As Assistant Principal Dr. Barbara Underwood read the names, Prin- cipal Jerome Secttor presented the diplomas. School Board members took turns shaking the graduates 1 hands. One thing, however, happened that wasn ' t quite executed in the Amy Garrett formal manner. Just before Class President Sean Williamson an- nounced the first speaker, a collec- tion of soap bubbles hovered over the seniors ' heads, at least proving the class of ' 85 was unique. In an address to the seniors, Dr. Secttor commented on the uniqu- eness of the class and wished them the best in the future endeavors. In one of the choirs ' numbers, Senior Amy Wil- liams summed these thoughts up with, Our time together is coming to an end. But even though our future is un- certain, we are not afraid of tomor- row, for we have seen yesterday and we love today. And so much more than that, we love each other. The finality of it all is what is so sad. I had such mixed emotions after it was all over. But I am look- ing forward to college and the free- dom it brings, reflected Graduate Kristin Rees. Williamson summed things up like this, The senior class of ' 85 is comprised of all sorts of people and personalities. I can speak on behalf of the officers that we have had a great time leading, making deci- sions and watching our class grow and achieve. Seniors celebrated their last day by covering up their friends with any- thing messy. Giving a winner ' s grin after attacking a friend is Todd Phelps. Linda Dulaney ' s not so lucky as Kraig Schmottlach smears shaving cream in her hair. All in fun, Steve Hellman gets Schmottlach back for soaping Dulaney. Watching in disbelief is Kurt DeBord as he sees his classmates being attacked. 30 GRADUATION Family ties are tightly bound to Senior twins Kurt and Kara DeBord as they embrace in congratulations. Both finished in the top ten of their class. Commencement day tensions are released by graduates with soap bubbles and Mark Grasso seemed to be caught in the middle of it all GRADUATION 31 - a Government is my favorite class, Mr. York is an awesome teacher and lets you speak when you want to.

I like Spanish class the best because it ' s interesting and a good cultural experience, commented Freshman Brian Pitser. Sophomore Cathy Self added, I like study hall the best because there ' s never any homework given from that class! Not only was it that certain class that everyone liked the best but also the teacher. Sophomore Trula Neal said, Health is my favorite class because of Miss Thomas. She relates to the younger generation and makes the class all worthwhile. Senior Charmaine Balsley added, I like computer class because it ' s obvious that Jorden knows what he ' s doing. Fred and Ginger move over for Yearbook Staff members Brian Marsh and Lisa Huffman as they dance through the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas during the NSPA ' s annual convention. imn 9m 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% YOUR PLANS AFTER Y.H.S. p l wm P 1 ! p 1 ] I Co.

CLASSES DIVISION 33 a w w A view of art to please the palate You may say I can ' t draw, but you ' re wrong. Take a pencil and paper. Now make a line. It doesn ' t have to be straight or even perfect. Look at that line and think of something it reminds you of. Okay, now draw that some- thing. Add a little detail; shadows and shadings. Hold the paper away from you. See? You just drew a picture. So what if it ' s not a million-dollar Rem- brandt or Picasso? It ' s still a drawing. Everyone possesses some artistic skill. With an art class this skill can be improved. Some kids haven ' t learned the skill so I teach it to them, said long term substitute Margie Frank. Other stu- dents already have a knack for it. I enhance this skill and refine it, she continued. Check out the art room window some time and you ' ll see the work of those students who have that knack. A lot of people come up to me and say they like my drawings, said Jun- ior Lisa Talbot. If you enjoy art, you have a variety of areas to choose from. In print making, you work with a wooden plate upon which you carve your design. It has one catch though; all of your carvings will be just the opposite of what your finished print will appear. Talk about reverse psychology. Another difficult area is sculpture. Before you finish your work, you will have dealt with all three dimensions. You have to see it from all sides and keep all proportions correct. Perhaps the most difficult of the arts is painting. Before you can even pick up the brush, you have to draw your subject. Then, when your sketch appears satisfactory, you can begin painting. Don ' t forget to make the colors blend correctly. And that shadow shouldn ' t be too dark. I don ' t have the patience for paint- ing. It ' s really hard, said A+ art stu- dent Julie Harmon, freshman. Painting is considered the most scholarly of all the arts, but even daVinci used a sketch book. Drawing may be considered an exacting science. You can teach the skill of drawing but the creativity is self-imposed, explained Frank. This is what separates the doodler from the artist. If you see that hidden shadow or the slight change in color before it ' s put in, then maybe you are in the latter group. Regardless of your skill, you can still admire the beautiful and some- times bizarre work, whether your own sketch or another ' s masterpiece. Junior art student SteveHahn concen- trates on enlarging a drawing. The picture grew from an 8 x 10 piece of paper to a 16 x 23 canvas reproduction. Senior Dennis Stout adds yet another name to the Senior Memorial found in the library hall. Putting the finishing touches on his can- vas pencil drawing is Freshman Greg Dunn. 34 ART Have you been by Room 101 recently? The works of art you ' ll see there were drawn by Junior Todd Hofherr. Todd has been drawing ever since he saw the movie Star Wars. He ' s been expanding his sketches from x-wing gliders and tie fighters to original cartoon characters. Although he expects a career in gra- phic design, Todd wants to go into car- tooning instead. His cartoons have appeared in the Broadcaster as well as Starlog Magazine. With such talent and ambition, Todd ' s work may well appear in your next Sunday funnies. Trying his hand at potterv is Senior Ray Puckett. ART 35 Leading the Dynasty through its third year Who do you think of when you hear The Stish? One hundred and fifteen students think of Mickey Stisher. Here for his third year, the 27-year old director, conductor and coordinator of the band department, finds that all of the hours in teaching are a little hard on the family life. There are times when my wife is ready to choke me! For each hour the band practices, Stisher must work two hours. Prepa- ration gets equal time as practice, he explains. This year I get a total vaca- tion of three weeknights. It leaves you on the verge of burnout. ' Yet the Music Man still found time to organize a Dixieland Band. They (the students) have basic ally done it themselves. But hey! They ' re hot! With all this work, time and pressure, why does he do it? I enjoy music. I ' ve always been a rebel so I went into education. This is Stish ' s sixth year in teaching. Before coming to Yorktown, he taught at Jefferson City High School as assis- tant director of the band. Surprisingly, Stisher was born in Indiana. After graduating from Ball State, he went to Missouri. When he got the job offer here in Yorktown, he returned. Stish has led the band to State all three years of his Yorktown career. But no person holds it all together, as he stated. The kids are interested in all parts of the band program, and that helps. Besides the students, Stisher is aided by Christopher Frick, who instructs the color guard. I have to spend a lot of time interpreting the music, Chris tells of his job. To the untrained eye, the most exciting part of a show is the guard. I like that so I work to improve that part of it. Of course, neither the band nor the guard would work without the stu- dents who make up those groups. Jun- ior Dave Hall comments on the com- mitment it takes to be good, It takes a lot of time, energy and sacrifice of things you would like to do. So many people want us to do so well. We have to work at it until we get it right, added Sophomore guard mem- ber Karen Walsh. These are some of the students of the Dynasty. Stisher explains, We ' re not the best but we ' ll be right up there at the top. Alto saxist David Helms has been an instrumentalist for Swing Choir for the past three years. With anticipation, Freshman guard mem- ber Sheri Todd awaits the decision at the State Band Contest in Terre Haute. What do you mean when you say VIOLIN? What would it take to interest someone in the violin? My mom plays it so I tried it. The violin has a pretty sound, explains Junior band member Julia Harting. For the past two years, Julia has played in the All-State Orchestra. She also plays at recitals and at church. I went to the Regional Solo and Ensemble contests last year in Div- ision One and placed first. Julia then took her music, Sonatina by Dvorak, on to State and again took a first.

Junior Laura Stong types on attempting to complete another assignment before time runs out. 38 BUSINESS ggggg Business students learn the ropes of their trade Business classes are some of the only classes in high school that directly benefit you in high school and as soon as you ' re out. For many students there is a real future in business, com- mented Junior Kelli Widdifield. In it ' s final year of operation, after sixteen years on the curriculum, Office Education Lab will be dropped at the conclusion of this year. According to Sally Parris, office lab teacher, interest in the class was low for next year and doesn ' t meet the minimum requirement. The Intensive Office Lab, which meets three hours a day is a two part program. The first semester is the lab section. The students are given DECA sponsor Susan Land looks on as Junior Michelle Aul eagerly takes money for a purcase by Junior Glenn Peirce. Office Procedure student Junior Janet Greer pauses for a moment to ponder her next typing assignment. model offices in the classroom. They do various jobs for teachers through- out the school, such as typing tests and worksheets. The second semester of the program, the students are given actual jobs in the community. Not only do the students get on-the-job training experience, but they also get paid. Marketing and Distributive Educa- tion is another productive course of- fering. The two-year program is avail- able for juniors and seniors interested in retailing and sales. Students work in the school ' s Tiger ' s Den to gain experience on a cash register. Marketing teacher, Susan Land com- mented, Marketing and Distributive Education students participate in many DECA activities which help to increase their vocational understanding and leadership abilities. While some business classes help students prepare for the future, they can also be fun classes to take. I like working with the word pro- cessor and electronic typewriter. I think the different units teach a wide variety of office practice, commented Senior office practice student Amy Brown. Junior Beth Johnson added, Even if you don ' t want to go into business, business classes will help you in col- lege or even after college. The most widely used of the business classes is typing. Those students pursuing a career in business couldn ' t make it without this class. I took typing because I ' m going into accounting later. I didn ' t think I would ever win a prize for my speed, said Freshman Sabrina Collins. The speed she spoke of was 69 words a minute. From typing and accounting to Office Education, the business students in these classes added their own type of class to this year. Nanci Sears, junior What do you mean when you say... OEA? Junior Nanci Sears is already known for her skills in business but would you believe that these skills landed her the position of State Reporter of Indi- ana ' s chapter of OEA? Nanci is currently holding that posi- tion, and is also slated to become State President in the ' 85- ' 86 school year. Another interseting note is that her father, Woody Sears, is an OEA State Advisor. This is the first time the President was related to an advisor, Nanci commented. Nanci believes that working with her father on a business level will make things pretty neat. I think it will be to the advantage of OEA. With or without her father, Nanci is sure to be great with her new responsi- bilities. BUSINESS 39 J  5rf e Students rub elbows with the adult world It ' s 7:30 a.m. Most students are just rolling into school, but for some stu- dents, it ' s time to leave school. ..for the Muncie Area Career Center. The Career Center gives students the opportunity to begin or further establish on understanding of such career fields as nursing, cosmotology and engineering. On the job exper- ience is often a sidelight, with the stu- dents working within the community at places like Amber ' s Beauty School. Senior Marta Russell expressed, Even though it ' s school, you get paid like a job. The students also earn a grade and credit for their three hour class and return to the books fourth period. Another out-of-school class is Cadet Teaching, which gives interested seniors a chance to help lighten the load of elementary teachers. Running errands, grading papers and preparing lessons are just a few of the demands placed upon the teacher helpers. Not only do they learn from the teachers, they often learn a little from the young students in the classroom. Charlie Owen, coordinator of the cadet teaching program, explains the opportunities provided by the program and its importance. The students work in a semi-authority atmosphere and see the responsibilities of holding that position (teaching). Owen continued, explaining that the program allows the students to also interact with children preparing them (the students) for both adult authority and parenthood, common responsibil- ities beyond high school. Promptness, attendance, agreeabil- ity and willingness to work are all fac- tors of grading the cadet teacher. With both Career Center and Cadet Teaching courses, students begin to realize their potential for success, instead of giving up before they ' ve even started. Students don ' t give their lives a chance, commented Counselor Trudy Cheatham. They don ' t realize what they can do and worry too much about what they can ' t. Although these two classes don ' t make your future for you, they both take away some of those What can I do? worries-proving that you don ' t have to be in school to be learning. Cadet Teacher Kara DeBord is sur- rounded by a mile of smiles on the faces of Pleasant View students Doug Vise, Lisa Bennett and Lori Young. Karon Williams, working for credit at Pediatric Associates, files through the records during her three hour work study program. What do you mean when you say... BEAUTICIAN? What would you do if you had your future all set, right down to your job? Senior Amy McNeely has just that opportunity. Most people have to look for a job but Amy ' s job came looking for her. JJ ' s salon wanted me to work for them as soon as I graduated, explained Amy. Amy started out with the Career Center in cosmotology. Working at Amber ' s Beauty School, she became more and more skilled in the field. Once I got started, I got better and better. I guess JJ ' s just noticed, she said. With Amy ' s job looking for her, she may just find herself in high demand proving once again the saying Hair today, gone tomorrow! Senior Amy McNeely and Sopho- more Jeff Cross. 40 CADET TEACHING Senior Alissa Ziegler dishes it out for Plea- sant View Elementary student Jenny Ware at a classroom Christmas party.

CAREER CENTER 41 5 -0 j k Singers move up and out in style Choir-it ' s not just a class-it ' s an adventure. The statement may sound corny, but just ask any of the 72 vocalists in choir and they ' ll agree that this year offered more opportunities and travel than ever before. Of choir ' s achievements, Junior Lisa Valos said, It was great to be able to show the people that we (Swing, Inc.) were able to place high in the standings of the Watseka Swing Choir Invita- tional. Yorktown ' s Swing, Inc. placed sixth in the finals, their highest placement in the three years of competition. Not only competition-minded, mem- bers of the choir department provided various shows for the high school audiences. Fall Preview was also an entirely different show than ever presented. The basic layout of the show was changed to make it different from any other year. American Pop ' s format was non- stop with a 45 minute medley, using all the choirs. Modernaire comprised of all girls from freshmen to juniors; Tiger Con- nection composed of all girls from freshmen to seniors, and Swing Inc., the show group, consisting of both male and female performers in all four grades, make up the choir vocalists and dancers. In her fifth year of instructing, Joanne Keesling led the choir in both instructional and fund raising activi- ties. The annual Rock-A-Thon raised approximately $1300 to help defray the costs of new performance outfits. Besides raising money, the idea behind the Rock-A-Thon was to help the kids to relate to each other, stated Choir President Brian Marsh. Black golf shirts with the Yorktown choirs ' logo screened upon it was another purchase of the active group. Shirts were purchased to identify the group and replaced the outdated and outworn yellow V-necks. The second big performance of the year, Puttin ' On The Hits, was dif- ferent in that it actually spanned two nights. Jonathan Doll judged the second night of the energetic and entertaining finals and then the WZPL Disc Jockey went on to roll the records at the choir sponsored dance immediately fol- lowing. The dance was really different, even better because Jonathon Doll was there and he is just so gorgeous! said Junior Lisa Crow with a smile. Choir President Brian Marsh and Sopho- more Stephanie Thonn rival the great Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers during a per- formance for the middle school students. Music in hand, Junior Chris St. John rocks the night away during the rock-a-thon. Strutting his stuff, Senior Todd Walker shows that he ' s one cool dude during the Spring Rhythms show. 42 CHOIR Joanne Keesling and Bubba Bubba, he ' s not a pro-football player turned actor and he ' s not a new bubble gum. He ' s Kristopher Austin Keesling, son of Choral coordinator Joanne Keesling. Born May 9, 1984, Bubba weighed in at seven pounds four ounces, ready to take on the world, to the delight of the entire choir department. Since he spent his first nine months in a choir atmosphere, it ' s just natural for Bubba to like music. The first place he usually goes is the music room where he tries to play the piano, said his mother. Bubba ' s future plans? Gurgle goo! he says confidently. Freshmen Melissa Blanch and Brenda Mudry take bedtime orders during the Var- iety Show. CHOIR 43 During the AP History trip, Becky Kendrick, junior, finds enough time between road trips to get a little sun. During a visit from Depression Era survivalists Junior Matt Rosinski pays close attention to the conversation. 44 HISTORY i. Students take a trip through the pages of time Spring Break: no school, fun, sun and... Virginia. That is if you ' re one of eleven students in the Advanced Place- ment History class. Chaperoned by Instructor Bruce Gaylor and three parents, the 15 member group toured historic sites of the Civil War. Stops included: Colonial Williams- burg complete with horse drawn car- riages, a silversmith, a fort and the stockade; Monticello, home of Presi- dent Thomas Jefferson and architec- turally ahead of its time and Carter ' s Grove, a working plantation kept in its original condition of elegance and At the Confederate Veterans ' Ceme- tery in Virginia, History instructor Bruce Gaylor seeks a veteran of each of the Con- federate States of America. Taking a shot at being teacher for a day is Junior Scott Cooper as he gives his history class a few notes on the overhead. luxury. Jefferson must have been a genius, said Senior Skip Gridley. The house was fantastic! Perhaps the highlight of the entire trip was an evening at Virginia Beach. Seen for the first time by Skip and Juniors Kelly and Kathy Schlagel, the ocean provided a relaxing change of pace from the rest of the tour. Burying Colin (Fraizer) in the sand was the best part. He was up to his neck in the ground! exclaimed Junior Jennifer Freeman. Once home, the group settled back into the normal class routine of dis- cussion, review and test. Not so normal is the senior econom- ics class. With marriages, stocks, children and taxes, conversation in this class leaves the average textbook behind. Getting ' married ' and having ' children ' isn ' t what I expected, said Senior Charmaine Balsley. Government, psychology, world history, econ and U.S. history. All are unique in their own way. Leaving the fears and phobias in psychology may not be everyone ' s most sought after information but it is interesting to know that there is a fear of the number thirteen -tri- scadecaphobia. And maybe learning about the second Industrial Revolution isn ' t the grea- test, but what if it hadn ' t happened? Where would the auto industry be?. ..or computer? Washington freed a nation but with- out a knowledge of government and politics, he would have been lost. The Social Studies department may not appeal to everyone immediately, but without it, Yorktown might lose is chance to turn out the next President. Michelle Freeman, freshman What do you mean when you say. . . UNDERCOVER James Bond, Madajari, Herbert Hoo- ver, Michelle Freeman; all bf these people have one thing in common-an interest in espionage. Freeman, a freshman, wants to be- come an agent for the CIA. Her aunt is a retired agent with 35 years in the field. With her help, I ' ll get connec- tions, says Michelle. After a college degree in political science, Freeman plans on getting po- lice training and detective work, and then go on to intelligence. Brittany Fields, Michelle ' s desired alias, will be suave, beautiful and effective, she says. Why espionage? Life shouldn ' t just be lived, it should be an adventure, and I love adventure! explains Freeman. HISTOR} 45 Senior Jim Rhoades trades rings with Junior Kelly Anderson in a mock wedding. Making a cake is as easy as pie for Junior Shannon Pitzer during an hour of cooking and eating his just desserts. 46 HOME EC j ftEE P Home-life responsibilities help to make the grade How many people can shoot a teacher with a squirt gun and get away with it? The culprit who did just such a thing was not a high school student but one of the toddlers found in Teacher Clela Saxman ' s Exploring Childhood class every Tuesday and Thursday. The class gives high school students a chance to experience the fun of being a parent, but, as with all things, some bad comes with the good. Whenever a kid started to cry, you just wanted to scream ' Shut-up ' , emphasized Junior Kelly Anderson. Senior Anissa Simpson and Annie Nel- son attempt to cheer up a discontented friend Craig Decker with a little hand-in- hand walk. Entertaining isn ' t always one-sided as Home Ec students Aleisa Patterson and Lisa Delaney prove with a young friend in the Experiencing Childhood class. The class wasn ' t filled with all girls either. Boys (er...men) were found helping keep the kids in line, entertain them and even help take away some of the first day fears of the kids in the Class of ' 98. It (the class) is fun. Some of the kids even reminded me of me, Senior Jimmy Winkle said proudly. A wedding, complete with cere- mony, reception and, of course, bride and groom took place as Junior Jeff Myers married Junior Tammy Davis in Family Living. The various cooking classes also give at-home-skills from Food and Nutrition to Advanced Foods, both taught by Saxman. It ' s not a waste class. Guidance even recommended it when I trans- ferred here from Delta, said Sopho- more Leslie Hart. You ' ll use what you learn for the rest of your life and besides, what other class can you eat your grade after you earn it? added Junior Sheila Lipscomb. Pizza, muffins, chiffon pies and wedding cakes all make up the menu for the classes giving one an appetite each time you walk down the home-ec hallway. One big difference in the home-ec department this year was the absence of sewing. There just weren ' t enough people signing up to warrant having the class, said Saxman of the reason for the class ' cancellation. Even without the sewing class, the home-ec department proved more that adequate for those students interested in it ' s offerings. I took the class for an easy grade. I got the grade, but I had fun doing it. It didn ' t taste bad either! said Junior Shannon Pitzer. Jean Achtermann, junior What do you mean when you say... 4-H? Junior Jean Achtermann ha.s a very useful skill. After all, not everyone can make their own clothes. Jean constructed a maroon skirt and vest outfit for the 4-H fair this summer. She entered the outfit in the level six competition, receiving a champion rib- bon and advanced to the State Fair to win a blue ribbon. Since beginning 4-H in fourth grade, Jean has been Reserve Champion four times. This is the first year I ' ve won Champion. It was great and my outfit looked good so I felt really good when I won, she expressed. Next year there will be another out- fit and maybe another prize. Until then, Jean will just keep her work in stitches. HOME EC 47 gpA Gaining training for the career world Want to make that card with a pro- fessional look? How about a news- paper or blueprint? What about giving a car a tune-up without forking over the big bucks? The Industrial Arts department offers classes which teach students how to do each of these tasks. This year, the corporation spent over $50,000 on equipment and sup- plies for the new Graphic Arts and Design class taught by Rick Bellar. The students have to print for the entire school system: holiday cards, personal tablets, forms and file cards, said Bellar. Senior Bruce St. John commented, The class lets us see our finished work. It ' s not ' just a grade ' . Drafting and Architecture, classes instructed by department head Wil- liard Cheatham, are available to stu- dents interested in construction and home maintenance. I need the class since I ' m going to be an architect, said Freshman Ron- nie Hale, not even looking up from his drafting table. Junior Travis Sayers explains that with this class he can better judge the quality of a house. Added Cheatham, The biggest in- vestment you ' ll ever make is in a house. This class makes you a more qualified buyer. Metals, a class which teaches lathe work, welding and sheet metal use, gives students an opportunity to con- struct practical items of metal. Sophomore Craig Bousman says met- als is fun but there ' s still too much book work. Required to construct a toolbox, a lathe project, and welding project, the students are given nine extra weeks to make anything they desire. Desire or need attracts a large num- ber of students into the Small Engines and Auto Maintenance clases. The classes work with two and four cycle engines from lawnmowers to auto- mobiles. Although generally accepted as male classes, these classes do attract a few girls. I don ' t want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere, explains Jun- ior Missy Miller of her reason for tak- ing the class. The Industrial Arts department def- inately offers a wide variety of career oriented classes to those who don ' t mind getting their hands dirty. Lighting his way around the insides of a truck, shop instructor John Gale tinkers with a skilled hand. Putting the finishing touches on his work is Junior Charlie Chalfant. Department head Williard Cheatham shows Freshman draftsman Bruce Smith some of the finer points of the art. 48 INDUSTRIAL ARTS Senior Dennis StOUl continues work on a Christmas layout in the Graphic Arts and Design Class. What do you mean When you say OVERHAUL Ever try to rebuild an engine from the ground up? Sophomore Troy Bell did just that. In May, Troy finished building and installing an engine into a 72 Vega. Troy began bulding the 327 Chevy engine in March of ' 84. The entire job cost me about $1800, he commented. Why did he do it? Everybody else had a fast car. I wanted one too! Troy exclaimed. Troy does plan to make use of his talent. I ' m going into mechanics for real money. Besides, I like the work, he explained. What about that Vega? With a smirk on his face, Troy calmly said, ' T sold it. Troy Bell,sophomore INDUSTRIAL ARTS 49 Working with the Spanish sound system, Junior Paul Barney gives his class the best sounds possible with a few adjustments. Proving the Honors English Program is not without its lighter side. Freshman Lori Stinson entertains the class with a skit. 50 LANGUAGE A new look at an old subject Take one look at the English depart- ment schedule. It doesn ' t look much like the schedule from the previous year. That ' s because the ' 84- ' 85 school year marked the beginning of a new system. The first noticeable change is the separation of the Composition and Literature classes, not to mention new books for these classes. Rather than taking Freshman Eng- lish, a student would take a Composition course and a Literature course. Fourteen freshmen and six sopho- mores studied under Instructors Chris Principal Jerome (Konstantin) Sect- tor gives the Journalism class a lecture on Soviet policy in the role of the Premier. Senior Dave Hathaway demonstrates the use of the video system during a Ra- dio TV class project to Sophomore Todd St.John. Goodwin and Chuck Newman for a two hour English Humanities class. Fol- lowing the Comp. and Lit. Ill class schedules, the students also found themselves writing journals, solving problems and participating in various skits, discussions and assignments. Not only the English language is studied, as interested students filled both German and Spanish classes. A temporary new teacher Sigrid Koehler, was found in the position of German instructor. She was on staff during the absence of expecting mother Carol DiFabio. Helping to replace DiFabio, Karen Brammer taught in both English and Spanish classes. The foreign language department found a few more changes in its midst. No French classes were available this year due to a lack of enrollment. The (French) club spent the last of its money but the class is over, explained Junior Julie Bogg. The Journalism department found itself with a student teacher, Sheila Reading. The Journalism class kept some of the traditional pastimes like the 11th Annual Bubble Blowing Con- test. For the photography class, a semi- professional modeling session high- lighted the year. Even Radio and TV found a new source of entertainment in Junior Jeff Myers as Beaver the Cleaver, a com- ical spoof on the popular Beaver series and the five part Jason Friday the 13th movies. Throughout the year, the English department found itself faced with change, from the new structure to the mandatory book report tests. New or old, the department found a way to affect every student at York- town. Mika Lindholm, senior What do you mean when you say... FOREIGN EXCHANGE? Mika Lindholm is not your average Yorktown student for one very impor- tant reason-he ' s not from Yorktown, or the U.S. for that matter. He ' s from Helsinki, Finland. Mika came to Yorktown as an ex- change student in August of ' 84. He is living with Leon May and his family. Mika noted that the greatest differ- ence he has seen between Finland and the U.S. is school. In Finland, we go for nine years of comprehensive school and then two and a half years of junior college. The work is also harder in Finland. By the way, Mika gets no credit for attending school here at Yorktown. This is just a one year break, Mika said. LANGUAGE 51 Credits add up for the math major How many credits can you earn in math? Six?.. .Eight?.. .Ten?... Wrong. With all the math courses offered this year, it is possible to earn a total of twelve credits throughout high school. That ' s the equivalent of two majors, (although you shouldn ' t count on gui- dance accepting that kind of thinking!) . The path to those twelve credits fol- lows a long, four year course starting with Algebra. Here, the basics of vari- ables and algebraic functions are taught with both equations and (yuk!) story problems. Algebra sets the stage for both geometry and advanced algebra. Geometry students get more story problems and are also subject to receive the latest mother-in-law jokes as well as zany names such as Chuck Roast and Jim Nasium. These wonderful insights are given by Instructor Jack Jorden. (Incidentally, he does like his mother-in-law.) The advanced algebra class gives a more indepth look into the algebraic functions and prepares the student for trigonometry. Trigonometry, also called trig, uses the algebra you ' ve learned so far and adds to it more functions like sine, cosine and their associates. Phil Kammerer, instructor of this class, also takes the students through the mysteries of analytic geometry. Analyt, the melting pot of the classes, combines all that you ' ve learned (algebra, trig, geometry and yes, story problems!) and rolls it into one big pile of numbers, variables, functions and equations. Last stop-calculus. Some fear it, some conquer it with ease. Most pass it. Calculus is the big daddy of the math department and Kammerer in- structs this class also. So now the tour through the math classes ends and. ..what? That ' s only ten credits? Well, as a supplement, you can earn two more credits in the computer classes, computers with math emphasis and advanced computers. Exploring the secrets of Apple basic- graphics, files and assorted games, you are led on this voyage by Jorden and a new high school teacher Dave Swander. Now you have completed twelve credits of math. You ' re ready to take on anything, until next year that is, with the introduction of Pascal, the computer language of the eighties! The Elements of Calculus and Ana- lytic Geometry are pondered by Senior math major Lori Cooper in her 6th hour class. The dreaded A nalytic Geometry books are distributed to first hour students in Room 104 by Math department head Phil Kammerer. What do you mean when you say... PSAT? Junior Eddie Miller achieved a nice goal in October. It wasn ' t on the track field though, it was in the cafeteria during the PSAT. Eddie received a perfect score in the math part of the preliminary testing. Math has always been easy. I ' ve always had A ' s and A+ ' s in math, said Eddie. That ' s quite an achievement con- sidering the average score is 57 out of 80 according to the College Student Search Service. As a result of his high score, Eddie became eligible for the National Merit Scholarship. His future plans include studying mechanical engineering at MIT. With his grades and ability, he ' ll make it there in no time. Eddie Miller, junior 52 MATH Sophomore Dani William watches Algebra teacher Ed Mirer and Sophomore Norrie Owens work on a few equations. Computer Chess, a difficult game, is mastered by Freshman Doug Vining in the Computer lab. MATH 53 when you say SPECIAL OLYMPICS Junior Connie Bousman. Student. Ath- lete. Special Olympics Coach. At age 15, Connie helped to train the young, disabled athletes in track and field events, practicing every Tuesday in two or three different events. I didn ' t think it would be so hard to coach the kids, but it was, the teenage coach related. It ' s fun to teach them, but you really have to be patient and go at their paces. When Kaye, my 400 meter relay runner got up to the line, I ran with her all the way around the track and she won!. ..It made all the time and the work worth it. Connie Bousman, Junior Suffering from exhaustion is Freshman Angie Crow assisted by Jay Ettl. 54 PHYS. ED. Fitness ' key in physical ed classes Squads! , yells physical education assistant, Sophomore Jessie Bogg, to the freshman PE students as they line up for attendance. Alright now, get ready for your calisthenics! One and two and three.... These are familiar words to the freshmen students required to enroll in PE. The two-semester course in- cludes a nine-week swim class. The swim class gives students an oppor- tunity to improve their skills and tech niques. Instructors Jay Ettl and Mike Neces- sary explained that PE introduces stu- dents to a number of individual and A look of determination covering his face, Freshman Steve Monks is caught in the act of serving. team sports. If the freshman class weren ' t enough, then there is advanced P.E. This class offers outside-the-school activities such as bowling and skiing. For swimmers, elective swimming and lifesaving is offered. Some take this class for fun, others for more substantial reasons. Says Senior Cindy Craig, I want to get the Red Cross certificate and get a summer lifeguard job. Weightlifting is offered to non- freshmen and gives students an hour to work out to strengthen and develop their muscles. So why do they do it? It helps me to prepare for the sports I play , says Junior Grant Zgunda. The class is available to girls also. I can lose weight, explains Sophomore Jennifer Tomboni. Health, required by sophomores for one semester deals with a variety of subjects. Covering such areas as first- aid, drugs, sex-education and death, it contributes to the lifetime better- ment of the individual, as put by instructor Tracey Thomas. The class gives students a chance to discuss varied issues and learn about themselves. Students are given thought provoking questions such as: What do you want to be remembered for after you die? or What would you do if you were to die tomorrow or a week from now. All in all, the health department at Yorktown offers a wide variety of knowledge and gives students insight on social, physical and mental atti- tudes, and themselves. With strength and concentration, Junior Grant Zgunda exercises his legs on one of the weight machines. Awaiting further instruction! are Fresh- men swimmers Chuck Nottingham, Andrea Heath and Lois Fauquher. HEALTH 55 Staffs climb the ladder to success Here I am with the publications spread and everything is done except the story. No problem. I ' m on staff and the storv is about staff. So why can ' t I get an idea for this simple story?! Writer ' s block hits everyone on staff. Usually it hits when you ' re in a hurry (deadline-2 days!) but it can also sneak up on you when you ' re writing the easiest story. I had to write the Phoenix story but I was so burned-out that I couldn ' t get an idea, said Senior Frank Willi- ams, news reporter for the Broad- caster. The photographers get a lot of pres- sure from the staffs. Print this, reprint that, I need it quick, do you have any pictures of... These phrases echo throughout the room, usually accom- panied by a loud pound on the dark- room door, answered by an even louder pound from within. All those pages of print and pictures cost a dandy sum of money. To bring these pages to you, the two staffs have to acquire this money. Most of it comes from the sales to you, the reader. Some comes from special offers -parent patron ads, Valentine and Christmas wishes, etc. The bal- ance is raised through the sale of advertisements. So now you have your story written, your pictures cropped and your ads sold and designed. You ' ve still got to get everything typeset. If you ' re on Episode staff, turn to Junior Robann Hamrick. If you ' re on Broadcaster staff, Junior Julie Bogg gets the work- load. It ' s not a bad job, except when you have to do it again and again, said Robann. You get tired because everything has to be set, but when you see the end product, it ' s all worth it, added Julie. After typesetting comes proofread- ing, then pasting it up, then double checking and finally getting your layout approved by the Episode editorial board . Once these people check, recheck and approve your layout, it gets one last lookover by Adviser Terry Nelson, If it ' s really bad they ' ll have to do it over. Quality comes before deadlines. So you ' ve finished your spread and you still have seven minutes until deadline. Whew! All done and no more worry, until you receive that paper saying, Next deadline-pages 36-43! Staff members Chris St. John, Brian Marsh and Charmaine Balsley watch as Adviser Terry Nelson and Yearbook repre- sentative Larry Glaze review a final layout. Junior Brian Marsh receives an award for excellence in Layout and Design from Dorothy Philips, President of Journal- ism Education Association. Amy Brown, senior What do you mean when you say. . . SHUTTERBUG ? Combine an interest in photo- graphy with a love of horses. Who would you get? Photo editor Amy Brown. Amy is the photo editor of the Broadcaster. For the first semes- ter she was the only photographer on staff. So where do horses fit in? During the summer, I took pic- tures of horses for a collage in the Morgan Horse Newsletter , says Amy. She also keeps a photo album of horses and horse shows which she has photographed. From here. Amy may work for a college newspaper.

With classes like chem- istry, biologv and physics, the subject imposes a fearful monster to be avoided at all cost, or does it? Enrollment in the area of science is increasing every year. Students even double up to get in all the science they will need for the future. And York- town ' s department meets the need. They have a lot of classes and every year there ' s something new, said Freshman Laura Dulaney. From the classes to the teachers, the science department is quick to adapt to a need for change, as put by Terry Xusbaum, department head. In 1968, when the school was built, time and money were spent to include the planetarium. Later, the corpora- tion spent an additional $65,000 for the construction of the greenhouse. Working on a budget of $3600 isn ' t easy but the department makes due with shortcuts. Although an autoclave would help to sterilize the equipment, a pressure cooker works to the same end. No science department would be complete without the refreshingly dis- tinct odor of sulfur. Thanks to the chemistry students, this annual event is brought right down to your doorway. The labs are great. They give you a break from lecturing. They show you how and why, said science major Brian Retz. Of course, the biology class wouldn ' t be the same without such joys as pithing a frog or creating your very own germ culture (with your very own breath). The teachers are complimented for their contribution to the department as Sophomore Stacey Whaley says, the teachers are very well-educated. Junior David Heath reinforces this statement as such, they ' re pretty cool. Without the teachers the department would be at a serious loss. You couldn ' t have a second hour advanced biology class without Jim Whitney. Without Dave Parker the astronomy students would see a bunch of stars in the night sky. Carolyn Lucas gives chemistry students every- thing from the Ether Bunny to Moles in Space. And Charissa Urbano and Terry Nusbaum give the students a personal tour of the Wild Kingdom. In their own special way, the teachers are all successful in getting their point across, as Junior Tom Hurley points out. The teachers, the classes, the stu- dents and the facilities; they all add up to make the science department mean just that much more to Yorktown. Junior Todd Applegate gives his germ culture a thorough examination in advanced biology. Junior John Cox catches forty winks after a serious session of lecture. Senior Brian Retz proves that an object at rest tends to stay at rest in accordance with the laws of physics. 58 SCIENCE Biology students Jenny Miller, Charlie Kim- brough and Jeff Cross use their green thumbs in the greenhouse. 6 ' MM k. ; A HulB rii % ■ EwiT Ji ! f 7z.a£ do you mean when you say. . .

Athletes give of them- selves every day and gain many rewards for their experiences. Take for example, the members of the girls swim team, who made it to state and broke a school record. State was the highlight of the season, said Junior swim team member Pam Ober. The chance to be swimming with top swimmers is something I ' ll never forget. Senior Jimmy Winkle commented, I was happy about winning All-Conference and playing on the second team of All-Stare. It really made me proud to make offensive tackle. That honor is something I ' ll never forget, added Senior Mark Grasso. A winning season pleased many fans, but was still not a 1 finish for team member Eric Jacobson, junior, and Manager Mike Hensley, sophomore, as the Tigers were beaten in a double overtime.

SPORTS DIVISION 61 Tennis VAR. 12-3 RES. 11-2 Members of the tennis team truly were a team of winners as they not only posted 12-3 and 11-2 winning records for both the var- sity and reserve teams, but they never gave up... according to tenth year Coach Steve York. Winning was also exactly what Coach York needed while entering the 1984 season, needing only 10 wins to get his 100th vic- tory. York gained this personal accomplish- ment when the team rolled over Jay County 5-0. Coach York has not had a losing season since 1975. At the beginning of the season, Senior Skip Gridley was 28-0, before his first loss. Skip tied the school record of 33 consecutive wins which was set by Will Wimmingham in 1978-79. Skip commented, It (the record) had a lot to do with preparing me mentally for a match. Skip finished out the season with a 12-5, and his four year record was 44-14. More outstanding individuals are Junior They never gave up. They were a team of winners. -Coach Steve York Rick Craig with a 14-3 season record and a combined three year record of 41-5, and Senior Kraig Schmottlach, with a 1 1-6 mark this season and a combined four year record of 51-13. Not every year is all successful, however, as, One of the biggest disappointments this season was when we lost to Alexandria in the semi-final round of the sectionals, 2-3, explained Senior Alan Condon. It wasn ' t just the loss that upset us, it was the fact that we had already beaten them (Alexandria) in regular season play, concluded Condon. Kraig Schmottlach, senior, exclaimed, As long as you try your hardest and don ' t give up, Mr. York will be satisfied. Reserve tennis members posted a much earned 11-2 season. Glenn Schmottlach, Leon May and Jerry Jaderston went through the season undefeated at 13-0. The only losses for the reserve this season were to Cambridge City and Alexandria. At the end of the season during the awards banquet, Most Valuable Player was awarded to Senior Alan Condon; Most Improved to Sophomore Doug Green, and Mental Atti- tude was given to Junior Rick Craig. All-Conference members included Senior Kraig Schmottlach, singles; Seniors Sam Craig and Alan Condon, honorable mention; Junior Rick Craig and Freshman Rob Ri- chards, All-Conference for their doubles team. Rob is the first freshman from York- town to ever be chosen to the All-Conference team. His final record for the year was 14-3.

BOYS TENNIS Girls Golf 2-7 record Huntington was the setting as two varsity girls golf team members, Kris Kammerer and Nancy Thise,juniors, advanced to regional play on September 29 to cap off a losing year in the win loss column,but a rewarding one in regards to individual improvement. At regionals, Kammerer shot a 98, fol- lowed by varsity teammate Thise, who shot a 104 on a par 72 course. After 9 holes, I was 3 shots out of the lead, but because of a tough back 9, 1 didn ' t qualify for state, commented Kammerer. Kammerer, a two-year varsity member, was also medalist in the conference and second place medalist in sectional. Thise, a three-year varsity member, was a third place medalist in sectional. Junior Lisa Valos, two-year varsity mem- ber, along with Junior Chris Sullivan and Freshman Polly Quirk, both first-year var- sity members, completed the varsity team, coached by twelfth year coach Elizabeth Dunn. The season was a dissapointing one as the ...All of them had to play well in the same match. -Freshman Polly Quirk girls won only two matches this year. Many of the losses, however, were very close. In one match,against Monroe Central, the ladies came within two strokes of victory, 203-201. Valos commented, It is hard on us when the matches are so close. Some matches were not as close as Mon- roe Central but the girls played well and had fun. Sullivan said, I had more fun this season than in any of my previous seasons. In the last year, Classic Athletic Confer- ence the lady linksters placed a disappoint- ing last, with one medalist. In the sectional the ladies improved by taking fifth place out of ten, sending two to regional play. The golf team ' s only victories were early in the season against Madison Heights, 192- 225, and against Jay County, 197-199. Coach Dunn emphasized, All of the girls Coach Liz Dunn Speak at the Fall Sports Banquet during the Girls Golf presentation.

Thise agreed, adding, ' Tt was a good sea- son considering we only had five girls. The only freshman on the team,Quirk, stated, With only having five players, all of them had to play well in the same match. The size of the team did not hinder the individual accomplishments; however, as a lot of goals were met and players improved tremendously. Thise stated that ...one girl improved by 20 strokes in one year. According to varsity linkster Sullivan, her first year on varsity, was in no uncertain terms, ...the best year so far for me...

GIRLS GOLF 65 Cross Country It was the Year of the Senior, stated first-year Cross Country Coach Chuck Newman, as six of the seven top sectional runners came from the class of ' 85. Top sectional runners were also the top contenders for the season. Mike Worley and Joe Dee, who finished 26th and 27th place respectively, had season average times of 17:30 for the five kilometer course. Throughout the season, Joe (Dee) was a close competitor, said top runner Worley. He is the type of runner who is either out in front of you or hot on your tail. A total of 29 runners, including four girls, ran a full schedule of meets, finishing with a 3-5 win loss record. Anne Fatzinger, junior, was the top female runner with an average time of 16:20 on the girls ' shorter four kilometer course. The highlight of the season was the meet against Muncie Burris, where the Tigers flew past the Owls to upset a 14 meet winning streak in dual competition. .the Year of the Senior... -Coach Chuck Newman The win (against Burris) boosted the belief in ourselves and in our running, commented senior and four-year member Steve Hellman. It gave us confidence we needed in the upcoming county cross coun- try meets. Though the win was a memorable one, disappointment was just ahead as the runners did not finish as well as expected in both the County, where they finished third out of six, and the Classic Athletic Conference, where they finished fourth out of five teams. It (the County) was frustrating because it was the second time Wes-Del had beaten us by one point, said Junior Mike Cooper. We just didn ' t run our best, Cooper continued. No matter how much I want the team to win, stated Coach Newman, there ' s no- thing I can do once the meet has started... it ' s up to the individual runner. Newman ' s philosophy of Cross Country as a first time head coach is ...to build a winning tradition. The key to this, he continued, is in off season training. Pre-season conditioning began earlier than normal this year, as local Yorktown resident and marathon runner Rick Cox assisted the team by setting a pace for the runners. Even though we ' ve been through a lot and there were many times I ' ve wanted to quit , recalled Dee, I was sad to see my last season come to an end. Following the long and winding road into the clouded night, this cross country runner displays the isolation of competing in an individ- ualized sport.

Football 6-4 record The Yorktown Tiger Varsity Football fin- ished a season full of both individual and team accomplishments and heart-breaking disappointments with a satisfying 6-4 record. As ill luck hit the team this year, the football team missed the playoffs by one game. The game against Hagerstown rocked us out of the playoffs, commented discont- ented coach Dave Tanner of the frustrating game. Although it should have been an easy game to win, the Tigers were upset in a shocking 14-26 loss. We were so pepped up and ready to go that we were a little overconfident of a win, added Senior Tackle Mark Grasso. A major role in this season ' s misfortunes was loss of key people due to injuries. Senior Jess Neal missed a few games early in the To have the best teats in the house doesn ' t always make a person happy as Varsity players Grant Zgunda and Eric Jacobson enviously watch from their wheelchairs on the sideline during the Homecoming game against Winchester.

Senior Greg Stewart dislocated his right shoulder in the Hagerstown game, and Jun- iors Grant Zgunda and Eric Jacobson were taken out of the season with a knee injury and a broken leg, respectively. Other minor injuries such as sprained ankles and pulled muscles took their toll too. In the beginning of the season, we were tough, said Coach Tanner. I feel that injuries kept us from an undefeated or a 9-1 season. Junor Mark Durbin summed up this sea- son in his words by stating, It was a good season but yet it was disappointing due to the injuries and not being able to go to the play-offs. Senior Jim Winkle summed up his role as wide receiver by stating, I think this year ' s offense, when completely healthy, was great. We had a good running and passing game that completed each other well. The problem was we had a lot of injuries and we had to resort mainly to passing game, Winkle added Winkle led the team in receiving with 565 yards and an average of 16.6 yards a catch. Leading the rushing was Senior Jess Neal with 613 yards and an average of 6.3 yards a run. And of course Greg Applegate was the leading passer with 1,345 yards and 14.0 yards a catch. Although there were many setbacks, the Tigers compiled a list of individual accomp- lishments. Senior Jess Neal was named to the UPI ' s selection of All-State players. Seniors Mark Grasso, Jim Winkle and Jess Neal made the 1984 Classic Athletic Confer- ence team along with Junior Mike Easton, recieving honorable mention. The varsity football team bows their heads for a moment of prayer before the start of the Home- coming football game, a tradition that Head Coach Tanner started when he came to Yorktown.

Both Tiger teams boasted impressive wins over their big rival, 24-16, freshman and 8-2, reserve. The Delta game brought about a great team feeling, recalls Junior Jeff Myers. We literally outplayed them, stated the reserve member. We really blooked forward to beating them, quipped Freshmen Brett Lotz. Although the win came early in the sea- son, the excitement left the players as the reserves went on to drop the last three games of the season after a 4-0 start. There were so many injuries on the varsity that they had to use the reserves, stated second year Reserve Coach John Fullenkamp. The last three games of the season were a big disappointment after we won the first Down but not out, Freshman Darren Cooper receives the assistance of Coach Ed Mirer after being injured during rough action. ...started good, had our down points, then fin- ished strongly -Freshman Jeremy Baugh four, quoted Sophomore Derrik Jester, who was chosen J.V. most valuable player of the year. The freshman had a relatively tough sea- son, compiling a 3-4 record. Although it was a tough season, they had several impressive wins including a 28-0 trouncing of Muncie South and 14-12 and 24-16 comeback vic- tories over Muncie North and Delta. The players get up more for Delta because of the rivalry, stated Freshman Coach Ed Mirer. Not everything was on the up and up as both the freshman and the reserves lost heartbreakers. The freshman lost to Ander- son Highland, 10-14 in the last minute and a half of the game. The reserves lost a close defensive game to Muncie North, 0-6. It ' s hard to have a consistant season when losing players to the varsity, said Junior co- captain Chuck Gray. As Freshman Steve Douthitt explained, We had a good year individually, but as a team we didn ' t always play well when we needed to. Freshman Jeremy Baugh summed up the season by stating We started out the season well, had our down points in middle of the season and finished strong with the win over Delta. These statements were true as the fresh- man lost three of their four games by a touchdown or less. The same applies to the reserve as they lost two of their three by six points or less. As Freshman David Tucco said, I would say we had a hard working team, they just didn ' t have it all the time. When asked why he plays football, Tom Kemp, junior, replied, I like to play football because of the excitement and the chance to relieve anger. Everyone can use a breather, as Freshman Rob Rudicel tallies his turn to watch from the sideline.

But this didn ' t stop the team members from accomplishing their goals. Senior Amy Garrett came in after sitting out half the season with knee problems, to receive All-Conference and All-County. Garrett claimed, The first half of the season was very frustrating because of my knee problems. Despite back problems, Deana Hitchens made the season pay off by making All- Conference and All-County. Ankle problems set back Chantelle Had- ley. junior, but not for long as she received honorable mention to All-County. Along with individual accomplishments came some team victories. On October 11, the Tigers met Burris on the Owls floor. They dominated the first game but dropped the next two games to lose the match 1-2. rr We had all freshman and a new coach. -Freshman Yvonne Morey Freshman Yvonne Morey replied, It was great to beat Burris, a top state ranked team, because it made us feel better about ourselves. Garrett added, We did well because we worked together as a team. At tourney time the team saw a chance to prove themselves. In the County Tournament, the Tigers dropped a disappointing first match to a tough Wapahani team, 1-2. At Sectionals the ladies brought their sea- son to a close in a rough first match with the Southside Rebels, 1-2. The varsity team, consisting of six seniors, one junior and one sophomore, ended the season with a disappointing record of 10-12. Hadley thought, We should have done better this season with six seniors but injur- ies set us back. The young reserve team consisted of 12 freshmen and a new coach, Dan Edwards, middle school industrial arts teacher. They finished up the season with a 10-8 record. Morey explained, The season was good considering we had all freshmen and a new coach. Awards were given out in five categories this year. Receiving most valuable setter was Laraine Snider, senior. Hitchens picked up most valuable spiker and defense player. Mental attitude went to Senior Kara DeBord. Most valuable reserve player was received by Angie Lloyd, freshman. Crossed fingers gives Senior Kara DeBord some hope for her teammates out on the floor. DeBord is a four year volleyball member.

Practice time evidently paid off as the girls varsity swim team had plenty of wins, finishing their season with a 13-2 record. The ladies sank four tough teams, High- land, Delta, Pendleton Heights and Jay County, while sailing to an easy first place victory in the Classic Athletic Conference at Pendleton Heights on October 22 and 23. The small, 18-member team also downed eight teams, putting them in second place in the Sectional. The Tiger Tankers finished behind eventual state champions, Anderson. New Indiana High School Athletic Asso- ciation rules made it harder for relays and individual competitors to go to state compe- tition. One rule stated that only the top finishers, excluding diving, and time qualifi- ers would go on to state. A second rule helped some relays and It ' s not just a sport, it ' s an adventure Sophomore, Cathy Bryja individuals to get to the state meet. This rule stated that the state competition would con- sist of 32 competitors per event. The new rule helped swimmers that didn ' t make state cuts, but did have one of the top 32 times in the state. On November 17, six members of the team, Amy Brown, senior; Pam Ober, Col- leen Riggs both juniors; Cathy Bryja, Lisa Moore both sophomores, and Susan Staton, freshman, traveled to the Indianapolis Nat- atorium for the state finals. The girls competed in two events, the 200 yard medley relay and the 400 yard freestyle relay. The medley relay consisted of Brown, backstroke; Moore, breaststroke; Ober, but- terfly; and Bryja, freestyle. The girls fin- ished with a time of 2:01, for 24 place. The freestyle relay consisted of Ober, Moore, Staton and Riggs all freestyle swimmers. They finished in 21st place with a new school record of 3:52. The Tigers dropped only two meets this year. The first was to Connersville, 74-98 and the second to Anderson, 68-110. Sophomore Karen Walsh claimed, Our two defeats of the season taught us one thing.. .to lose like winners. The year started a little more interestingly as on August 7, the team packed up and headed for Madison, Indiana. The main rea- sons for the trip were for the girls to get to know each other and to build team unity, according to coach Tracy Thomas. Enthusiastic throughout the season, Bryja stated, I love swimming. ..It ' s not just a sport, it ' s an adventure. Four year girls suim coach Tracy Thomas expresses her obvious delight over an important victory over Northside. Traditionally the team baptises their coach in the pool following each team victory. Jubilant over a broken record are Varsity swimmers Amy Brown, Cclleen Riggs, and Lisa Moore at the state swim meet where the 400 free relay team placed 23rd w ith a record of 1:52.00.

Basketball 11-8 record I was pleased with most of the season, but the record could have been better. How- ever the best part was beating Muncie Cen- tral in the Sectional, said Junior Greg Miller. This year ' s team was led by first year Head Coach Mike Necessary. Necessary returned to Yorktown after a 6-year absence having coached the basketball team at Wes-Del. Necessary led the team to the final game of the Muncie Sectional with a Classic Athletic Conference record of 3-1 and a over-all record of 12-9. Yorktown advanced to the Saturday night final of the sectional after defeating 12th ranked Muncie Central 38-37. Yorktown, however, was defeated in the final game, 44-43, by Muncie Southside. It was disappointing to lose to Southside, but I thought we did well in the Sectional- better than anyone else had in the last ten years, said Senior Brent Hiestand. Several members were named to honorary ' It was definitely an exciting year... -Senior Alan Condon teams including Jim Winkle, senior, and Greg Miller, junior, who were named to the all Muncie Sectional 1st Team and the All Delaware County Team. Winkle stated, Since this was my last year it was great to beat Muncie Central and to be named to the first team. Senior Brent Hiestand and Junior Sam Laws were named to the Sectional 2nd Team and placed on the Honorable Mention Dela- ware County Team. In the last year for the C.A.C. Yorktown came in second place to Anderson Highland. The second place finish was the best York- town has ever finished in the C.A.C. Hies- tand, Winkle, and Miller were all named to the C.A.C. team. Besides losing to Southside, another major disappointment was the opening game of the County Tourney. Yorktown was beaten by Daleville 69-63 in a game that lasted through two overtimes. Winkle and Laws were both named to the All Delaware County Tourney 2nd Team. Besides placement on several honorary teams, several individual records were set this year. Winkle made a new record of 61 steals; Hiestand now holds the records for 184 passes to the inside, and Miller set the record with 46 Blocked Shots. Hiestand summed up the year by saying, It was an up and down season, the team all got along really well. Winkle continued, All in all, I thought everyone got along and gave 100%, and it showed throughout the season. Alan Condon, senior finished It was def- inately an exciting year. Chawing down on some bananas to get fired up for Sectionals during a pep session are Senior Varsity Basketball members Jim Winkle and Brent Hiestand. Winkle and Hiestand ended up the season with the highest overall perform- ance, according to Coach Mike Necessary. The two have played on the Varsity team for three years and have started every game this year. Boys Varsity Basketball Players are Front Row: G. Zgunda, S. Buck, J. Winkle, B. Heistand, J. Dee, P.

The 1985 Reserve and Fresh- man Basketball teams found this to be true early in the season. This year ' s season was certainly disap- pointing from a win-loss perspective with a 6-10 overall record, but, according to Freshman Steve Parsons, We really just needed to play together because we had a lot of talent. Parsons was the second highest scorer on the A team with a points per game average of 11.4. Just ahead of Parsons was Darren Cooper, freshman, with a points per game average of 11.9. The Freshman B team did better with a overall record of 9-3. The high scorer fot the B team was Freshman Mike Pilkington, with 10 points per game as his season average. Getting some last second advice from Fresh- man Coach Chuck Newman is Darren Cooper, freshman. The fundamentals never really deve- loped. Coach Chuck Newman The seven member squad pulled out sev- eral close games, all ending with wins for the reserve team including Wapahani, 35-33; Pendleton Heights, 48-47 and Alexandria, 56-54. A real high spot of the season, in Cooper ' s mind, was when we beat Southside in over- time, 52-46. Southside also seemed to be a low time in another game, according to Cooper. A low point was when we got beat by South by three points in the city tournament after we had already beat them in regular season. A lot of players and Coach Chuck New- man felt the season could have been much better all around. Newman commented, The team play involving five guys working together to win games and performing the fundamentals of basketball never really developed. As a result of the team ' s and coaches assessment of the season, no Most Valuable Player was awarded at the Winter Sports Banquet. According to Reserve coach Baldwin, this year ' s Most Valuable Player award on the reserve squad was given to Sophomore Mike Parsons. Parsons led the team in scoring with an 11.6 point per game average. Parsons said, I was really happy that I could help the team in this way. Parsons echoed his coach ' s sentiment, This season was really disappointing for everyone. Struggling to get a grip on the ball against Cowan defenders is Freshman Jason York. The Tigers won the match-up, 46-41. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL 79 scoreboard V R Daleville w W Burris w W Lapel w W Jav Co. L L M.

The sectional showed the team playing together and working hard for every shot. The ladies faced Wes-Del in the semi-final game after defeating Muncie South in the first round of play, 29-28. The Tigers, however, lost the next game to a tough Wes-Del team, 48-52. Junior Heidi Hammel claimed, It was the best game we ever played as a team. Team spirit was the best it had been in recent years. For the sectional, Coach Urbano made Viking ships with opponents ' names in them to help fire up the players for the tournament. Team spirit was great! Before every game Past the defender and up for two points is Senior Varsity eager Deanna Hitchens. The Tig- ers lost the game to the Central Bearcats 45-53. f I learned things I never knew. -Senior Susan Myers we did cheers and really got pumped, com- mented Sophomore Beth Sparks. Teresa McLaughlin, sophomore, added, We listened to a lot of music on the bus and in the locker room to get us fired up for the games. The team ' s inexperience and their need to adjust to a new coach were two obstacles that they quickly overcame as the season pro- gressed. We learned the fundamentals of the game and how to have a positive attitude, stated Susan Myers, senior. Myers continued, I learned things about basketball that I never knew before. The Tigers were led by Seniors Myers, Deana Hitchens and Becky Dorroh. Four players were rewarded for their out- standing performance in Girls Basketball at the Winter Sports Banquet, held March 12. Hitchens took three awards, The Most Valuable Player Award, The Mental Attitude Award and the Most Rebounds Award. Re- ceiving The Highest Field Goal Percentage was Connie Bousman, junior. Junior Kim Crabtree was given The Highest Free Throw Percentage. The Most Valuable Reserve Player Award was accepted by Angie Parker, junior. With the end of the County Tournament, Hitchens and Myers were named to the All- County Tourney second team. All-Sectional Team honors were given to Hitchens and Junior Cathy Cosby. It was hard to be a 5 ' 7 center and go up against girls who are 6 ' 0 or taller, expressed Hitchens. Hitchens finished, I had a great time! Coach Charissa Urbano, Teresa McLaughlin. Angie Parker and Kim Folkner yell the Varsity cagers on to a Tiger victory over Daleville 48-30. The ball ' s up for grabs as Senior Becky Dor- roh and two Wes-Del defenders struggle to gain possession of the ball. GIRLS BASKETBALL 81 2-9 record Lack of team members and lack of support weakened the very talented boys swim team. The team finished out the year with a disap- pointing 2-9 record, with the only wins com- ing against Pendleton Heights and Muncie Central. Freshman Brad Stevens commented, It wasn ' t such a bad year, we would win a lot of individual events but we didn ' t have enough people to place second and third. Stevens added, If you compare two wins with 12 people it ' s not that bad. Everyone gave 110% effort and swam to their best ability. If we would have swam against teams as small as ours, we would have blown them out of the water, said Senior Rob Werling. Swim coach duties were shared this year as Mark Scheerer,a Ball State student, and Troy Campbell, a 1982 graduate of York- town, led the team with 5:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. practices daily. Coach Scheerer remarked For my first er? stmimmn Hanging on the lane line after an exhausting but victorous match is Senior swimmer Brett Yarbrough. Checking the time at conference rival Highland are first year Varsity Coaches Mark Scheerer and Troy Campbell. The boys swim team needs more school backing. -Senior Brett Yarbrough year of coaching, I accomplished the goals I set. Freshman Brad Stevens quoted, The coaches were trusting, you can get to like them real easy. Sophomore Varsity Diver Doug Green said, It was really hard at the beginning of the season with the new coaches and all, but towards the end of the season they really tried their bests to bring all of the guys together. One disappointing factor brought up was the lack of school spirit shown at the meets. Senior Brett Yarbrough said, The boys swim team doesn ' t have enough school sup- port so breaking a record was just like any other year. If the football team would break a record, students would cheer and put up banners, but if swim team breaks a record. nobody cares. Not everything was disappointing, how- ever, as Seniors Rick Winegardner, Brian Luke, Robert Werling and Brett Yarbrough, Junior John Cox and Sophomore Dave Brown went to the State finals. Winegardner, Luke, Werling and Yar- brough competed in the Medley Relay, and Winegardner, Yarbrough, Cox and Brown swam in the Freestyle Relay. The medley relay broke a school record with a time of 3:21:97. This mark is six seconds better than the old record. Dave Brown, sophomore, quipped, Going to state was great. ..It was fantastic!

The grapplers defeated three area teams, Daleville, Northside and Cowan to earn the Sectional crown. The Tigers also qualified nine wrestlers for the Regional competition. Mansker passed through Regionals and Semi- State to go on to the State meet, in the 98 pound weight class. He was defeated in the first round by the eventual State champion. Mansker is the first wrestler in five years to qualify for the State. My goal was to go to State and I did it, commented Mansker. The year saw a young, inexperienced team led by Seniors Dave Sissom, Doug Young and Brad Drill finish the season with the best record since 1982. Junior Tom Emmolo explained, Every year we get more experience and the team gets much better. Breathlessly waiting for the outcome of the match are Varsity Coaches Jim Aldrich and John Fullenkamp. Auaiting the referees start, is Most Valuable Freshman and first year varsity member Mic Okeley. ' ' My goal was to go to state 9 ' -Sophomore Todd Mansker The team started out slow, losing their first three matches to Wes-Del, 30-39; Jay County, 10-54 and Monroe Central, 21-39. The slow start made the wrestlers push even harder for a victory at the next match. The Tigers first victory came, in the fourth match of the season, against Alexan- dria at home, 58-12. The wrestlers faced Highland next on the Scots ' mat. The Tigers defeated Highland, for their second win, 43-25. But it wasn ' t until Sectionals that the Tig- ers reached their peak for the season. We started out badly but we improved to win the Sectionals, claimed Chad Winkle, freshman. Shane Southerland, sophomore, said, I didn ' t win at Sectionals but the team did and that ' s what counts. With the completion of the season, sev- eral outstanding wrestlers were rewarded for their individual accomplishments. Receiving the Most Valuable Wrestler award was Mansker. The Mental Attitude award went to Sophomore Eric Morgan. Southerland was chosen the Most Improved Grappler Award, while Sissom picked up the Most Quick Pins award. The Most Valuable Freshman award was given to Mic Okeley. Second year Coach John Fullenkamp pre- dicts even more success for his team next year. We will be losing only three seniors so there will be a lot of experience returning and we could be even better next year, Fullenkamp stated. The clamp of victory, administered by Fresh- man Reserve Member Chad Winkle, bloodies his opponent ' s nose. 84 WRESTLING scoreboard Wes-Del 30-39 Jay County 10-54 Monroe Central 21-39 Alexandria 58-12 Highland 34-25 New Castle 21-45 Brookville 29-38 Central 18-41 North 43-19 Cowan 53-12 South 15-54 Daleville 51-18 North 43-19 Pendleton Hts. 27-33 Sectional 1st Holding his opponent to the mat and waiting for the referee ' s signal to verify his win is Fresh- man reserve member Jay Winkle.

Tissue paper, streamers and giant tiger paws were plastered on local doors, driveways and treetops in an effort to back the varsity team. I felt the players liked waking up and having their houses decorated, stated Senior Captain Heidi Schepp. A caramel apple eating contest, complete with a taffy-ed onion was the major enter- tainment at the following in-school pep ses- sion. Basketball Guard Jim Winkle received the honors of the trick apple to the obvious delight of the fellow players and fan-filled auditorium before County Tourney action. Another contest occured before sec- tional when the cheerleaders sponsored a banana eating contest in which each player had to eat three and Junior Basketball For- ward Grant Zgunda took the win along with a badge for the prize.

It was fun but it took a lot of hard work. -Freshman Lisa McCoy added, I thought it was more effective to get the fans to fire up. Seems like anything we do they don ' t enjoy. The auditorium was also the setting for a series of pep sessions inspiring girls and boys athletic teams alike. Even the middle school did not escape Tiger spirit as cheerleaders traveled to Smith Street to decorate the middle school before the final game of basketball Sectionals. I felt the highlight of the year was the Sectional because there was a lot of school spirit displayed... It was the most spirit I ' ve seen all year, stated first year Cheerleading Sponsor Tracey Thomas. Cheerleading, isn ' t all fun, as the 16 member varsity, reserve and freshman female cheerleaders, and six male cheerleaders headed toward Purdue University in July, where they competed against other high schools at Purdue III Camp. After four days of learning cheers, dances and pom-pom rou- tines, Yorktown cheerleaders finished out the week by grabbing all the awards presented. Camp was beneficial to all squads, commented Reserve Sophomore Cheerleader Stacey Whaley. Freshman Cheerleader Lisa McCoy stated, It was fun but it took a lot of time and hard work. Seniors Heidi Schepp and Sean William- son were the captains for the varsity guys and girls squads. Junior Misty Collins was reserve cheerleading captain, and Polly Quirk was captain for the freshman squad. Third year Varsity Cheerleader Heidi Schepp takes the game to heart as she awaits the final seconds of the game. q CHEERLEADING Varsity Cheerleaders are, Row 1: C. Bryja, C.

CHEERLEADING 87 Girls Tennis Var. 5-9 Res. 10-3 A new attitude brought on by first year coach Chris Smith, helped the Girls Varsity Tennis Team to a near upset of the highly- ranked Anderson Indians, 2-3. The reserve team defeated the Indians, 4-1. We could have beaten them but I think the girls were nervous because it was the first match, explained Smith. Smith, a senior at Ball State University, took the coaching position in early Febru- ary, but didn ' t start the girls in conditioning until March 4. Varsity member Chris St. John, junior, remarked, He (Smith) started us later than usual to keep us from getting burned out. Conditioning was really hard and stren- uous, said Junior varsity member Laura Stong. Stong continued, I think I ' m in better shape than ever before. The Tigers had only two seniors returning for the 1985 season. At the number one singles position was Cris Geiger and Maura Going low, Freshman reserve player Susan Staton completes the swing with an apparent sigh of relief. Roll call before the match, Girls Tennis Coach Chris Smith gets the girl , together to fire them up for a win against county rival Delta,3-2. He gave us a winning attitude... -Sophomore Stacy Whaley Walsh was in the number two doubles spot. Both girls have been on the team for four years. Besides the two seniors, four other varsity members returned for the new season. In the number one doubles spot was St. John and Stong, both returning for a third year. Number two singles was Stacy Whaley, sophomore, and number three singles was Stephanie Thonn, sophomore. The returning experienced players made for a strong team, but the two seniors were not enough to pull the Tigers to a winning season. The first victory came when the girls really needed it. They had lost their first four matched, but rose up to beat the Rebels of Southside,3-2. The next victory came against county rival Delta, 3-2. It ' s always great to beat Delta, but this time it was extra special, commented St. John. Playing tennis wasn ' t all the girls did for the program. On Saturday, April 27, the team sponsored a car wash at Don ' s Mara- thon Station to raise money for new uni- forms and dinner at Tony ' s Lockerroom. The girls also sold candles to help raise money. The two events put over $300 in the newly-formed Girls Tennis Booster ' s fund. The president of the boosters club was Mrs. Janice Hadley. With a powerful slam, Sophomore member Stephanie Thonn returns the fast drive from her Southside opponent. With an individual victory, the varsity went on to win as well. 88 GIRLS TENNIS scoreboard V. R. Anderson L W Jay County L w Burris L w Madison Hts.

GIRLS TENNIS 89 Boys Golf Var. 13-3 Res. 7-2 With a pre-season ranking of sixth in the state, the Tiger golfers tackled a tough sea- son, managing to work everything out for the climactic end. The linksters captured the County title for the seventh consecutive year with medal- ist honors shared by Senior Kraig Schmot- tlach and Sophomore Mike Hensley, both firing a 75. Shooting a 75 in the County and tieing Kraig for medalist honors was definately the highlight of my season, commented Hensley. I thought it was a great team perfor- mance because four out of the five made the All-County team, Hensley continued. All-County team members included Jun- ior Tom Hurley and Sophomore Todd Mansker, in addition to Hensley and Schmot- tlach. The team was expected to fare well this season with four of the five returning start- ers. They were Schmottlach, Hurley, Hens- ley and Mansker. f County was a good win for us Sophomore Todd Mansker Under par performances were turned in by all four of the top golfers during the season. Hurley first a 2-under 34 against Monroe Central while Mansker shot a 1- under 36 against Delta. Top golfer Schmottlach did his part by firing a 3-under par 33 against Anderson. Carding a 3-under par 33 to help beat And- erson was great! Schmottlach exclaimed. The Tigers upset the fourth-ranked And- erson Indians by two strokes, 150-153. The team also captured wins in two tri- angle meets. Hurley took medalist honors with a 35 to lead them to a 146-171-172 victory over Mt. Vernon and Lapel. The linksters also beat Cowan and Dale- ville 154-177-190, led by Hensley ' s 35. Controversy arose during the final round of the Classic Athletic Conference meet when Varsity golfer, Sophomore Kirk Nigh, was disqualified for wiping down the green. If Kirk had been informed of the penalty immediately following the infraction, he would only have been penalized two strokes; since the officials didn ' t inform Kirk until after he had signed the scorecard, Kirk was disqualified, stated Coach Bellar. The team has played great! The Varsity might have been overrated in the beginning, but we ' ve proved ourselves at the end, commented Junior Randy Mercer. Agreeing with Mercer, Hurley finished, I feel like all the guys on the team help each other as much as they can, and that is good to have when you want to do well. Lining up for the putt, on the number three green is -Kraig Schmottlach, senior. Kraig is a three year varsity member.

Rick Cox and Laura Mark assisted Keller in coaching the 16 girls that made up the team which set six school records and posted several personal best performances. Three really helped a lot because there was always someone around when we needed them, explained Wendy Hershey, sopho- more. Achieving a life-long personal best record in the 800 meter run, was what highlighted the season for Junior Anne Fatzinger. She was a gold medal winner in the one mile run at the Delaware County Track meet at Delta High School and set a school record in the mile run with a time of 5:48. Other standouts on the team included Freshman Kristin Smith and Sophomore Beth Sparks who were the only triple winners at County.

Sparks won the 100 meter and 200 meter runs and also the shot put at County. As Sophomore Karen Walsh stated, Starting practices early and displaying good attitudes have really helped the team in per- forming well. The track team ' s toughest meet was against rival Pendleton Heights, when they lost 84- 25. Due to cold weather, two prior meets were postponed and this meet was their first meet of the year. The team went on to post a 5-8-1 record, losing a close one to Delta, 58-51. Even though the statistics don ' t flatter their season, the members of the team found the year rather successful. As Junior Lisa Rosson put it, I think our team has been very successful this year, which is mostly due to our three coaches and the ability of our team members to get along. Rosson continued, I ' m sure you ' ll find that many of my team members also felt that all of the sweating and hard work has been well worth it. The freshmen gave strong performances throughout the year. This season has been very challenging and I ' m looking forward to the success in future years, stated Morey. Morey was on the mile relay team that set the school record with a time of 4:27.00 along with Smith, Sparks and Senior Amy Garrett.

Despite a cold and rainy season start, the Tigers track team burned up the track against Daleville, 87-40 early in the season. Both Neal and Junior runner Mike Cooper won their events and were on the winning mile relay team, together with Juniors Scott Cooper and Jeff Myers. In the County meet, the team pulled  v Landing in the sand after a victorious jump at County Tourney action is first year Varsity jumper Tim Coulon, sophomore.

It was a great experience for everyone on the team. ..I feel we had great team unity and pride, commented first year runner Scott Grasso. We did what we expected to do, echoed Junior runner Mike Cooper. Although the season was a smooth one, with few player injuries, the Tiger running team didn ' t finish on the winning side with a 4-6 varsity record and a 2-4 reserve tally. We were planning on sen ding Jess Neal to Regionals and State, commented Coach Owen. Unfortunately, things don ' t always go as planned and Neal failed to qualify at Sectionals. The April 16 sectional date did see the qualification of two sophomores at the Mun- cie Central track. Mike Parsons tried for third place in the high jump and Dan Rhoades placed fourth in the shot put. At the Senior Honors Banquet, Neal was honored by the Yorktown Lions Club as the recipient of the Most Valuable Athlete Trophy in Track. I really worked hard because I set some goals for myself... I accomplished some, but I still wanted to accomplish more before I graduated, expressed Neal. The third senior of the young track team, 3-year runner Robert Werling commented, I think we had a good team that got faster and better every meet. Showing his strength and determination is Junior Rod Morrow as he vaults against his oppo- nents at the County Meet. 94 BOY ' S TRACK scoreboard var. res. Pendleton Hts.

According to Head Coach Chris Goodwin, the inner squad competition, consisting of junior varsity and varsity players, raised over the $1200 needed for a new batting machine. Todd Applegate, junior, thought the mara- thon was a good idea and the new ball machine will come in handy. The acquisition of the new batting ma- chine must have paid off as First baseman, Junior Greg Miller, blasted two hitting records. Miller broke the total hits in a sea- son record of Scott Glass ' and Doug West ' s 39 in 1977, and tied Jeff Stout ' s 1984 dou- Sophomore Reserve player Neil Selvey sprints to third base as Muncie South ' s third baseman holds off the throw. ...the baseball marathon was a good idea. -Junior Todd Applegate bles record of 9 hits, mid-season. Miller was also possessor of the team ' s highest batting average of 440. Miller wasn ' t the only record breaker as Center fielder, Senior Joe Dee also broke Jeff Stout ' s base stealing record of 39, set in 1984. Assisted by first year coach Larry Stevens and first year reserve coach Mike Necessary, Coach Goodwin assembled a young team of only four seniors, leading the 15-man squad. Being a fairly young team, the Tigers fared better than expected, boasting an 18-10-1 winning record, as they approached Sec- tional play. Capturing the County title for the second consecutive year, however, was definitely a highlight of the season. The Tigers beat Delta, 9-5. According to Miller, The high point of the year was beating Delta in the final game of the County Tourney. The Junior Varsity team also experienced a successful season, 4-7, taking into consid- eration the inexperience of the team and first year coach. Pitcher Gordon Hensley, sophomore, felt that Coach Necessary did a pretty good job for his first year. I liked this season better because I got more playing time, Hensley added. Third baseman Neil Selvey, sophomore, felt his personal highlight was seeing var- sity time and delivering a two-run double to put the Tigers ahead of Wes-Del to win. First-year Varsity player Rick Craig, junior, swings into motion as he helps the Tigers to a 12-1 victory over Alexandria. First-year Reserve coach Mike Necessary calmly watched as his team played for an 8-4 victory over Jay County. BASEBALL 97 a Besides being fun FBLA means a lot by preparing me for the future.

Kelli Widdifield junior yy — 98 CLUBS DIVISION Showing concern meant a lot to club members as they expressed their own brand of caring for the community. Honor Society members held an in-school drive in March so students could donate blood to Ball Memor- ial Hospital or for Pete ' s Sake. SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) showed they cared by sponsoring a convocation to influence kids to think twice before mixing alcohol with driv- ing. Bill Essex, an Indiana State Police undercover agent, revealed a more realistic look to the students. I thought the convo was beneficial for the stu- dents of Yorktown, said Senior SADD member Sta- cey Beavers, it seemed to affect a large number of people. Kallida members sold items such as magnets and earrings, which they had made to help former art teacher Marilyn Triplett pay for long distance phone calls and flights to see her son John Richard Triplett. John Triplett, a former Yorktown student, has been hospitalized in Florida and Chicago as a result of an automobile accident. Hearing about the accident, we were all put into shock. We thought about what could be done to help since we knew how helpless Mrs. Triplett must feel. We decided to have a fund raiser. We all knew she ' d be touched seeing how hard we worked, said Senior Kallida President Nikki Rudbeck.

I think it was a great idea to make students more aware of fun without alcohol, commented Sophomore Tammy Powers. Becoming aware of the effects of drugs and alcohol is just what former policeman, Bill Essex, had in mind as he talked with students at an hour-long all-school con- vocation in November at the high school auditorium. He made you realize some day something could hit home and it would then be too late, commented Junior Tracey Walker. Around prom time S.A.D.D. members placed a wrecked car in front of the school.

' The auditorium exploded with the sounds of electric guitars and cheers from the crowd as different acts performed their renditions of their favorite rock groups. It was the air band contest, sponsored by Radio Club, at the S.A.D.D. -sponsored Fun Night. Freshman David Jourdan captured the winning title with his portrayal of Prince. TheFun Night was an alternative to the usual Carnival Day that was taken away because of the new C G (Cur- riculum and Graduation) rules in effect this year. After the Air Band Contest, students played a Pepsi ring toss game, ate pizza and danced in the gym to music played by Electric Dance Company. Radio club members played records for students dur- ing both lunches and at school dances. They also spon- sored a Halloween dance at the middle school. The Radio Club bought a new $1,000 sound system to update their club equipment. Club member Todd St. John, sophomore, commented, I have really enjoyed learning to use the new equip- ment and having a chance to apply what I ' ve learned during lunch and at dances. Speech Team competes at different high schools throughout the year. Members participated in categories such as humerous and dramatic interpretations, discus- sion, impromptu, poetry and original oratory.

Going For the Gold, and an all-school Christ- mas convocation, A Christmas Corral. The vear started off with club members constructing their float at Freshman member Lois Fauquher ' s garage. It was fun having everyone together working hard, commented Fauquher. A victory bonfire, complete with hot dogs, marshmal- lows and cider, was hosted by Drama Club Freshman Tina Masters. A $1000 sound system added to the fall and spring productions. The Front Page, by Ben Hecht and Char- les MacArthur, and Charlie ' s Aunt by Brandon Tho- mas. Junior John Bright, who played reporter Wilson, stated, It was exciting being on stage the first time. In December, A Christmas Corral was presented during an all-school convocation. Teachers Charlie Owens, Marilyn Watt and Steve York participated in the production along with the students. As a lways, Drama Club wrapped up the year with the traditional Ozzy Drama Awards Banquet, and a trip to the Indianapolis Repertory Theatre in November to see The Man Who Came to Dinner. The Art Club, Kallida, experienced an independent year, as club sponsor Marilyn Triplett was gone the majority of the term due to an extensive knee operation and the unforunate accident of her youngest son, Rick. Kallida painted magnets and earrings in order to help pay for Triplett ' s visits to her injured son. By raising money, I felt it showed just how much we all cared, commented Kallida President Nikki Rudbeck. The Kallida Club members did manage, however, to hold several standard activities, including painting the town windows for Halloween.

For Thanksgiving, FHA made food baskets to give to needy families in the community. On May Day, they sponsored a benefit in a local children ' s home. To earn money for their activites, FHA sold napkins, stuffed animals, buttons and sectional pennants. FHA ended the year with a Mother-Daughter banquet at the Outpost restaurant. All in all this year was very exciting. Receiving Sweetheart Queen was something I ' ll always remember, commented Senior FHA member Rhonda Pearson. Senior Rhonda Pearson with her date, Derrick Dobbs, accepts the crown and flowers for the 1985 FHA Sweetheart Queen. 110 FHA FHA Row 1: N. Greaser, A. Owens, Treas., T. Cross, Sec, C.

FHA 111 For Both Sport and Fun First year club encourages safety, sportsmanship for membership Shooting competitively and shooting for fun are the main purposes of the first vear club. Hunters and Shoot- ers, according to the club ' s president and organizer. Senior Jeff Brantley. The club consists of 18 members, including Sponsor Williard Cheatham, and encourages members to get involved with hunter safety courses and to join local shooting clubs and the National Rifle Association. During the year, the club members go to sophomore health to teach safety. Members also drew up a club constitution, sponsored various fundraisers and organ- ized hunting expeditions. The club teaches safety and sportsmanship in hunting with a bow or gun. Poaching is what we ' re ' shooting ' against. ' according to Junior Paul Barney. We encourage all hunters and shooters to respect laws and regulations- don ' t poach, continued Barney. Junior Brian Timmons added, Poaching is illegal hunting, for those who don ' t know. Another club, a not-so-new one, Science Club, also gets together for organized fun. It ' s fun just getting together withagroupof friends and eating pizza, playing cards, jamming to the radio, or something, commented Junior Tom Hurley. Fun isn ' t the only purpose behind Science Club, led by sponsor Jim Whitney and President Skip Gridley. It ' s a club for students to further their science skills, Senior Kraig Schmottlach added. The club gets together annually for their homecoming float. This year ' s 32 members got together at Senior Paul Strouse ' s home for the building of a mad scientist melt- ing falcons, entitled, Melt them down, Yorktown. Members of Science Club also participated in a Christmas party, sponsored an after-game dance, and went canoeing in the spring. Science Club members Brian Timmons, junior, and Laraine Snider, senior, give directions for thier annual Science Club Christmas party. 112 HUNTERS SHOOTERS Club President Jeff Brantley retrieves his arrows after practicing at It W Archery in downtown Yorktown.

SCIENCE 113 The Pursuit of Academics Honor Society members think about the other guys... The pursuit of quality academics is the purpose of two prestigious organizations - Skill Bowl and Honor Society - and the 1984- ' 85 school year was no exception. Skill isn ' t all that ' s needed to be a member of the school ' s Skill Bowl. The club members put in several hours of practice to become quality competitors, as stu- dents meet every Wednesday at 6:45 a.m. to quiz each other bv using questions from the ever-popular Trivial Pursuit game. Experience helps too, commented Junior Varsity team member Eric Todd, as varsity level members tend to be upperclassmen who have taken such courses as Calculus, Trigonometry and Chemistry. Eric and Junior Glenn Peirce are charter members of the three-year-old organization, along with Sponsor Carolyn Lucas, science teacher. Although the club consists of over 40 members, only 15 students are transported to the other Delaware County schools for intersquad competition, making up both an A and a B team. Both an honorary and philanthropic organization, according to Sponsor Elizabeth Dunn, Honor Society keeps its members busy with its numerous service projects. Honor Society ' s list of yearly projects is impressive as members sold carmel apples in order to raise money for Thanksgiving food baskets for the needy in the county. Sheets and towels were also collected in December and donated to a local church, who, in turn, distributed them to those in need. In fact, each month, the group attempted to tackle a new project. Other projects included a Halloween party at the Daleville Day Care Center, and a bingo party at the County Home. The group also collected over 70 pints of blood in the spring during their annual blood drive. Carolyn Lucas, Skill Bowl sponsor, psyches her team up for a different kind of Trivial Pursuit. Honor Society members Greg Applegate, Kim Kimbrough, Amy Garrett and Kurt DeBord pack up to head home. Skill Bowl members Beth Frieders and Eric Todd wait for the next question at the Wes-Del vs. Yorktown meet. Carefully listening for instructions are Skill Bowl members Eddie Miller, junior and Laura Adams, senior. 114 HONOR SOCIETY r— y ft ,. ♦ ,-, rW j-, S jraL ' ' fcjsB Honor Society Row 1: C.

Photographer Kent Campbell and Tiger Mas- cot Karen Walsh Shoot the breeze during the normal routines at a Yorktown varsity football game. Here ' s the section of your book devoted to finding out who the blue-eyed blonde is you ' ve been admiring from afar, or the babe in the painted jeans who struts past your locker each morning. Yorktown has several students who will be remem- bered for other accomplishments such as the Heavy Metal senior boys who paraded around school in their DIO shirts after a Market Square Arena concert, and Senior basketball player Jim Winkle who made $45 from fellow players and dared to enter a packed auditorium wearing a jock-strap over his jeans at the County Tour- ney pep session. I ' ll never forget any of my teachers who gave me good grades, said Junior Beth Johnson. The people I ' ll never forget are my friends who always stick together through the year, replied Junior Chris Terrell. And for Psychology teacher Charlie Owen, finding his biological family after 45 years, was quite a revel- ation. ..I found a part of me I never knew existed.

For some people it ' s a trip to the Village Pantry for their morning caffeine and daily supply of Get up and go. Their morning caffeine level is maintained until lunch, where the pop machines are the target of the attack force, but no more due to an inspection performed by Indiana Health Drug Administration. This inspection limited the use of the machines from 1:00pm to midnight, leav- ing the lunchtime crowd pop- less. Senior Cris Geiger com- mented, If the candy machines can be on during lunch, they why can ' t the pop machines? Joan Sanders agreed, I think the school would make more money if they left them (Coke machines) on during lunch. Steve Winslow also agreed, I felt the pop machines were off since we ' d probably bring in our own pop anyway. What are they gonna do next, close the V.P.V Without the pop machines our caffeine addicts were down but not out. They brought for- ward cans, bottles and 2 liter jugs of their favorite beverage. When they closed the pop machines my blood-Mt. Dew level dropped about 90%, until I start- ed supplying my own, and then my bank account dropped 95%. But if I have the money, Pepsi Cola products have a second hand on it. Because I always will have a Dew in my hand. com- mented Senior Todd Young. They thought they had us beat, but in the end our caffeine addicts prevailed. Taking time out during Home- coming to enjoy her favorite drink is Senior Deana Hitchens.

It ' s something we ' ve all done, either from our parents, or our friends. Before we get a drivers license, we are totally dependent on someone else for transportation. I had often been through the experience of hitching a ride with a friend or having my parents ferrv me around, but had never seen the other side of the coin. Until recently, that is. J unior Greg M iller wears his sun- glasses to shade the glare of the bright vellow lockers. One day after school while I was preparing to leave when I heard a small voice at my shoulder. Looking down, I saw a good friend of mine-a sophomore. Instinctively, I knew what she wanted. Can you give me a ride home? My gut reaction was to say no, explain to her that I had had to get up at five in the morning to finish my chemistry, how I hadn ' t gotten to sleep until after eleven because I was working on my chemistry, and how I had to go home right away to start my chemistry homework. But cute, sophomore girls have a way of making you feel guilty even as they ' re telling you not to worry, that they ' ll find another ride. So I decide to take her home. Just this once. Naturally, it ' s not that easy. She had (of course) a friend who needed a ride as well. And the next day too. And the day after that. Before I knew it, I was running a taxi service for cute sophomore girls. Things only got worse. Before long, they weren ' t even sopho- mores. They were fresh-let ' s just say they were worse.

Tim Terrell Karate and weight- lifting kept Junior Tim Terrell busy throughout high school. Tim was usually hap- py and fun to be with, claimed Sophomore Mark Sie- wart. Born in Muncie, Indiana on March 1, 1968, Tim was the middle of three children, with an older brother Joe, and younger sister Amy. Tim attended Yorktown Ele- mentary and Middle schools, coming to Yorktown in the fourth grade. Tim participated in the area career center where he studied machinery. According to Trudy Cheatham, career center coor- dinator, He was always very polite and said hello when I saw him. Among his hobbies were music, karate movies, outdoor sports, art and bicycling. Tim also enjoyed going to church camp every summer. In 1983, he won his camp ' s out- standing servant award. The award is based on Galatians 5:13, which reads, For bretheren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occa- sion to the flesh but by love serve one another. Tim died from a gunshot wound on October 13, 1984, according to County Coroner Glenn Scroggins. Tim ' s loss will be felt by the class of 1986.

Sophomores have a lot more responsibility than thev had as freshmen. Classes are harder and are being taught on more of a college level. Homework also in- creases. Amber Burress wrapped up several other sophomores feelings bv saving. I have never studied as hard as I have this year. hat are the studying habits of sophomores like? Places, sur- roundings, times and methods all vary. All different places in the home are used for studying. Modeling her fur coat is Sopho- more Leslie Rhoades during a pho- tography session. Swimming buddies and best friends Cathy Bryja and Lisa Moore cheese it up after a home swim meet. Some have mom ask them questions while others study their notes. Scott Rudicel stated, Studying is not one of my favorite hobbies, but listening to the radio while I do makes things a little easier. Lisa Moore admit- ted, I have to have it perfectly quiet to study. Different people require dif- ferent study habits, but good study habits are essential. Junior Missy Moore said, If you think your sophomore year was hard, just wait until your junior year! Cramming before a test is Sophomore Mike Ramsey, while studying during lunch.

Not only must regular class work be com- pleted, but students were also required to read three books for the semester. These books must be chosen from a recommended reading list, prepared by members of the English department. Stacy Wha- ley commented, The books on the book list aren ' t bad, but I think they should pertain more to our level of reading or our environment. I think it ' s fair that we have to read three books because that ' s not too much to ask. After reading the required books, English students must take a book report test.

Students must sign up for a specific day during supervised study period before being allowed to take their tests. First semester students were allowed to sign up to take tests after school. This caused prob- lems because on the last day they could take the tests, three Eng- lish teachers had to stay after school for three hours to accom- odate a huge line of students that still had to take the tests. Doing her daily duties is Sophomore library aide Amy Ter- rell. Filing books away is only one of the many responsibilities given to the four sophomores who worked as library aides throughout the year. 136 SOPHOMORES ' Eric Morgan Traci Morgan Scott Morris Michelle Myers Trula Neal Sherry Newby Mark Newell Donette Nicholson Kirk Nigh Erin Norris Joan Owens Noraleen Owens Mike Parsons Tamra Powers Shelley Prettyman Donna Pumphrey Michael Pursifull Todd Pursley John Ramsey Lisa Reed Michele Reno Brian Reum Daniel Rhoades Leslie Rhoades Jeffrey Robbins Kevin Robinson Tammv Rowe Scott Rudicel SOPHOMORES 137 Thorui shares Special gift Could Yorktown High have a prodigy on its hands? Consider Sophomore Stephanie Thonn, whose hands and mind are the keys to her musical talents. hen Thonn was five vears old. her parents purchased a piano, and she began picking out tunes. At age 6, Thonn started piano lessons and still practices 10 years later, under Mitchell Andrews. Stephanie ' s previous piano instructor, Martha Alice Sheets, pointed out, Stephanie is a very outstanding performer and is a very, very musical girl. She was able to express herself musically at age 7, distinctly. Mrs. Sheets added that Thonn has a remarkable ability to memorize.

Not only does Stephanie tickle the ivories, but she also enjoys singing and is a member of Stephanie Thonn Swing Inc., participating in school choir for five years. When asked how her interest in choir developed, Thonn, a soprano, said, I just like to sing. Stephanie became a member of All-State Choir last year and has received awards for her piano and vocal performances. Interlochen National Music Camp in Michigan has accepted Stephanie to their eight-week summer camp. This camp of the performing arts is the school to be accepted to as a high school student, according to Choir Director Joanne Keesling. Of all Stephanie Thonn ' s achievements, she believes her most momentous is, and will always be, meeting with Presi- dent Ronald Reagan. As a 1983 Regional Spelling Bee Champion, Stephanie traveled to Washing- ton, D.C., and participated in the National Spelling Bee for the second time in two years. The nationwide Regional Champions were presented with a congratu- latory speech by our 40th presi- dent, and Thonn got his auto- graph afterward. A dedicated student, Stephanie finds time to participate in Skill Bowl as a two-year veteran. She is on the Tennis team and is a member of Science Club, FCA, and Drama Club. Thonn plans on attending col- lege after high school, ...hope- fully I.U., and wishes to pursue a musical career. So is Stephanie Thonn a child prodigy? Well, what more could you expect from someone who was born on January 27-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ' s birthday? 138 SOPHOMORES Preparing for Homecoming festivities is Sophomore Lisa Moore while taking a break from working on their float.

SOPHOMORES 139 1 988- A class with enthusiasm Enthusiasm, something everyone of us in high school likes to think we have. But no matter how hard we try or how crazy we get, there always seems to be that one person or group that has a little bit more spirit that the rest of us. And that one group is this year ' s freshman class which is definately not lacking in spirit or numbers. The freshmen class, numbering 223, is one of the largest to go through Yorktown. Showing their spirit began with the fall window decorating con- test which the freshmen won. From that point on, the fresh- man class hasn ' t slowed down. In hall decorating, the freshmen beat out the more experienced sophomores to get a third place finish.

At Sectional, freshmen Stacey Falls and Leslie Frazier stood on the first row of seats and yelled the whole game. Sta- cey Falls commented, Spirit is supporting your team, even if we are behind. I think spirit is some- times a determining factor in if we win or lose the game. Lois Fauquher added, I think spirit is being there when the team needs you and yelling and screaming to show that you really care. The freshman class entered high school not knowing really what to expect, but they adjusted quickly. They learned the mean- ing of spirit and enthusiasm and showed us all their true fresh- men spirit.

Rocco ' s not only good at soccer he ' s the best and at the age of 19 he passed up the chance to become a pro in his home country of Argentina. Rocco opted instead to play soccer at the University of Daytona. Rocco has been involved in soccer for as long as he can remember, and he admits he was practically born playing soccer. His other activities include teaching his seven year old son ' s team and playing weekly at St. Mary ' s church in Muncie. Rocco insists that he ' ll never grow old and at his rate he might not.

When Mr. Pickell became a teacher in 1957, he didn ' t realize he would be a Yorktown teacher for over half of his life. I was here while the school was expanding. It was an exciting place to be! he replied. I was athletic director when foot- ball first started, he added. Growing up with an identical twin was also a fun part of life for Pickell. We were really close, he said, even though we were involved in different activities in school. Richard, his brother, played foot- ball, while Mr. Pickell played tennis in high school and college, going unde- feated his senior year. Mr. Pickell stays in close touch with his brother as they enjoy golf and bowling. Combining teaching with bug driving, John Gale also finds time to work his 600 acre farm.

Congratulations, Dad, Mom, Pat Karen Susan Myers Maura Walsh Hoping for the ' Big Bucks ' For four years, the Indiana legislature has been debating and questioning the issue of whether or not Indiana should begin a state lottery. Presently, the surrounding states of Ohio, Illinois and Michigan all endorse state lotteries, boosting state revenue immensely. Recently a resolution was passed to remove Indiana ' s con- stitutional ban on lotteries. Senior Lauri Robinson said, I think it ' s a good idea (the lottery) but it ' s a shame the government takes almost all of your money. Narrowly passed by the Indiana Senate Finance Committee, with a 9-8 vote, the bill now goes to the full Senate for approval. Senior Darren Blevins commented, If they don ' t pass it here, people will go to other states to buy a chance. Some Yorktown High School students feel the lottery would be a great resolution to be passed. Lori Nicholson, senior, stated, It ' ll be a good idea if it helps the economy. The Indiana State Lottery hasn ' t won its approval with the church oranizations. Dr. Grover Harmon, retired Indiana Council of Churches said, All of the (religious) groups involved in coalition feel gambling is contrary to the Christian Ethic. Robinson concluded, It ' s the people ' s choice to gamble for the state lottery.

The creative interior ranges from bright, colorful pictures to plain, empty coke bottles. However, each locker has a unique look with students adding their personal touch. I decorate my locker to give it a lived-in look, said Senior Lori Cooper. Posters of (GQ) guys can be generally seen in the girls lockers in addition to an assortment of different stickers. On the other hand, guys tend to be more casual with their locker decor. Some of the more popular adornments used are gym socks along with pop cans. Brian Luke, senior, said, The empty cans in my locker are my ' collection ' . Looks can be deceiving. It may look like an ordinary yellow locker on the outside, but inside it might be filled with deeply hidden treasures. Mr. Shrieves of Muncie Music Center can satisfy your music needs.

After calling various record shops, it was proven that Target and Musicland sell the lowest sale price for cassettes and records. Stonehenge sells Bruce Springsteen ' s Born in the USA at the price of $7.99, while Musicland and Target were selling Spring- steen ' s tape for S5.99. Stonehenge offers more than cassettes. They have included tob- bacco paraphenalia, T-shirts and pins in their merchandise. David Ammermann, sophomore, said, I buy most of my tapes at Stonehenge. Even though they may cost a little more, Stonehenge has a bigger variety. Some students really don ' t care where they can find bargains, they buy their tapes wherever they can be found. Charmaine Balsley, senior, exclaimed I don ' t have a favorite record store. I buy my tapes wherever I can find them. Senior Julie Bowers comments Just because a tape is cheap doesn ' t mean you ' re getting a bargain because they fall apart easier. Stephanie Eikenberry, senior, concluded Target is cheaper, but they mainly sell pop-rock music instead of the heavy metal such as Krocus and Judus Priest.

Rhonda Pearson Sherri Degolyer Christmas: Spirited Away Bringing in the Christmas Spirit was anything but displayed in the Yorktown Christmas Window Competition this year. Many decorated windows weren ' t the traditional Merry Christmas scenes, but instead malicious Santas threatening boys and girls with a bloodied ax or Santa with a beer can in his hand exclaiming, Hey bud, let ' s party! Not all the students like the idea of Santa portraying an evil person. Junior Todd Hofherr announced, This handfull of nasty windows had nothing to do with the occasion, and didn ' t convey the true Christmas spirit. I thought that the administration should have never allowed those windows. ..it ' s a contradiction of what X-mas is supposed to be about, added Junior Lisa Huffman. The winner of this year ' s window decoration contest was Miss Charissa Urbano ' s second hour class. Junior Mike Weilant displays his Chrismas Spirit by painting Mr. Mirer ' s window with a deadly X-Mas wiaii. f Jlmo Ujisa Art Supplies, Frames Lessons 200 W.

Nutra Sweet is replacing saccharin in diet food, diet beverages, candies and gum. G.D. Searle and Company finally won approval in July of 1983 to market its low sweetner aspartame (nutra-sweet) made from amino acids. It ' s estimated that in 1984 alone, sales of the sweetner reached S590 million with a profit of $156 million. It ' s not an unfamiliar sight to see people drinking diet Pepsi with Nutra Sweet, explained Senior Lori Cooper, I chew sugarless gum more because with Nutra Sweet it tastes like real sugar is in it. m l ■ Glass and Glazing Commercial Home Auto York gl 2ss Service 308 Canal St. (317)759-7328 Yorktown, Indiana 47396 AMERICAN FAMILY ll.

There is no doubt that pizza is well liked at Y.H.S., but sometimes too much of a good thing is bad. Pizza once a week is fine until it starts to grow on you. Senior Cindy Howe commented, I think they have pizza so much because they know that kids will eat it and not complain. Pizza can be a downfall for dieters because its loaded with calories; however, its one of the more nutritious foods to eat. You have your vegetables, meats, dairy products and bread. Junior Chris St. John stated I don ' t mind having pizza once a week as long as its on Fridays. And just think, having pizza once a week is not so bad when you could be eating liver and onions. Eating pizza once a week can cure your pizza cravings so your less likely to spend your money at some of the local pizza parlors. The school cafeteria has forgotten the different toppings that may accompany pizza. Sausage is served with every pizza eaten. -ma Featuring: Folk Art, Pillows, Candles, Supplies, Paint, Metal Punch Stenciling Baskets, Potpourris Hrs. 10-6 Tucs. - Wed. - Thurs. 10-8 Frl. 10-6 Sat 1-5 Sun. 1 1 1 West Smith Street Yorktown, IN 47396 317-759-9388 SUBURBAN TURF JAMES LANDSCAPE F.BAILEY SHRLBBERY TREES SODDING RESIDENTIAL WE PLANT TRIM EVERGREENS • LAWN MAINTENANCE SERVICE COMMERCIAL THATCHING-FERTILIZING INDUSTRIAL Licenced Nurserymen CLOSED SUNDAY IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SERVICE-SALES-INSTALLATION YORKTOWN ESTIMATES 4t 7 Vi50 Muncic Wcstsidc Auto Parts 3429 Kilgorc Ave. ph. 284-3858 We have complete machine shop service MORE PARTS FOR MORE CARS ; INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE ft 162 ADS X4V-L f? r.

A prom can be paradise with the perfect dress, or a pain if it resembles three others in the room. Going in a gown you despise can actually ruin your night in heaven. This vear, a liberal assortment of prom finery are being displayed in several of the formal dress shops. Choosing a dress is one of the more complicated decisions in life, except for which guy to take to the prom, exclaimed Junior Angie Parker. Gunne Sax. found in several formal dress stores, offers numerous formals to choose from. They have designed long, full gown with a low neck-line and a fitted waist. Pink, black and red are some of the more popular colors. They run approx- imately $100. J.C. Penny ' s displays an assortment of dresses with a soft romantic appeal. They are lacy with bows and ribbons. The gowns can be purchased for $85 to $100, depending on style. Also available this year are hoops and petticoats. They can be bought for $40. Another accessory for the night ' s festivities are shoes. Costs range from $20 to $40.

Wheeling 284-3119 ADS 165 T R A V E L TROUBLES Many students have it, but Seniors suffer from it most. It ' s called Spring Fever. One symptom is an uncontrollable urge to go to Florida. How to get there is the first step. Students have several choices on how to get to their destina- tion. Buses, trains, airplanes, cars, hitch-hiking or maybe a combination of the above. Driving and flying are the more common forms of transpor- tation to Florida. Driving a car takes a lot longer than flying; however, taking a car can save students more money and a chance to view the countryside. I don ' t mind driving to Florida. It will be worth it once we get to Daytona, explained Senior Mike Bryja. Another senior, Mike Worley commented, ' I am driving because it ' s cheaper but a challenge to make it in under 24 hours. Worley concluded, Riding in a car for a long period of time, gives me the opportunity to really get to know people. Flying is another option which students seem to prefer. It takes less time and there are no worries of being stranded on the interstate. Todd Phelps commented, I am flying because I ' ll be having fun in the sun while most people will still be traveling. Kevin Morey said, I am flying to Florida because I like to fly. Flying to Florida is okay if you have the money. Tickets to Florida have been ranging from $190-$220. Driving a car will take only half of that to pay for gas both down there and back. Even though you may have to save your money from the very beginning of school, once you get down in the sun the tan and relaxation is well worth the money.

ADS 167 RESTROOMS... TORTURE CHAMBERS For many Yorktown High School students the torture chambers aren ' t the chemistry lab, physics class, calculus, or the cafeteria, but the restrooms! Using restrooms isn ' t a privilege but a necessity. However; the casual daily duties have been taken away and, the feeling of despair has been put in its place. The school could use the restrooms as a form of disciplinary action and make the stu- dents spend an entire day in there, instead of in the Rubber Room. Walking into a hazy, smoke-filled room with a nauseous odor waiting to attack the victims nose isn ' t an uncommon occurence in Yorktown High School ' s latrines. Senior Kim Langdon commented, It ' s hard to walk into the restroom without getting sick from the smoke. The first thing a student notices when stepping inside the restroom is the cigarette smoke and the graffitti written on the walls. It gives the impression of a New York subway. After the initial shock has passed, he she will notice that half the stall doors have mysteriously disappeared and the rest are hanging by a nail. When the student believes it can ' t get any worse, the doomed person ' s horror reaches its climax when he looks into the commode and finds it is full of disgarded cigarette butts and a roll of soggy toilet paper, along with other waste materials. Senior Mark Grasso exclaimed, I feel the students should take better care of the restrooms. It ' s a real pain to comb your hair through a smokey room. Baldwins 421 S.

Madonna: devil-may-care attitude Madonna; the saintly name portrays a playful rock-star with a devil-may-care attitude. Her triple platinum Like a Virgin was the top album in the United Stated for three weeks, having topped Bruce Springsteen ' s Born in the USA. The title song spent seven weeks as number one before giving the spot up. As of April, Modonna ' s Material Girl single is coming to the top, along with a cut called Crazy For You, from the sound track Vision Quest, a movie in which she makes a quick appearance. Madonna ' s music is selling at a startling rate of 75,000 vinyl discs a day. Another talent area that Madonna pursues is acting. She will star in a feature film opening soon, plus a seven week tour scheduled, a fashion line in the works and she has inspired two new popographies. Madonna commented, I ' m here, I ' m there. I love to work. My brain is always in overdrive. I guess you ' d say I ' m a hyperactive adult. Reaction to the twenty-six year old is varied and personal. Madonna ' s critics have described her voice like Minnie Mouse on helium. There is much more behind Madonna, which turns out to be Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone of Pontiac, Michigan. She is a runaway fashion setter and could become the Marilyn Monroe of the 80 ' s. A typical outfit for her consists of black mesh stockings, a peekaboo skirt and a skimpy top with a lot of crucifixes. Madonna is not a trained musician. She composes much of her own material, makes her own videos and is very much involved in being Madonna. Madonna distributes her talent well with her variety of music, commented Junior Scott Harvey. Glenn Peirce added, I like watching her videos because they portray her feelings in relationship to her songs.

Jeff Myers Junior )) 180 CLOSING Our strength in tradition catapolted Tiger fans into a fever time and time again, as spirited pep sessions, once in a lifetime wins and losses and aca- demic excellences were the trademarks of Yorktown High School students in 1985. No other high school in Indiana can boast of all three musical performing groups, Concert Band, Marching Band and Drill Team placing in the top six of All-State Competition, earning 4th, 5th and 6th places, respectively. • No other year in Yorkotwn history can witness the placement of five jun- iors in the National Merit Scholar- ship ' s Competition, with Junior Class President Eddie Miller earning a per- fect score in the math section of the PSAT. No other school in Delaware County can brag of winning the Delaware County Golf Tournament in their sev- enth consectutive year, led by Golf Coach Rick Bellar and Medalist golfer Kraig Schmottlach with a 75. • Another year will come and go com- plete with a history all its own. How- ever more than any other year before, 1985, This Time With Meaning, was truly a year to celebrate. (.he Utter defection engulfs Va Barr as she shares her disappointment the middle of the empty gym bleache pep session speaker Booster Presiden to be happy following the Sectional rleader Jana ith no one in disregarding luck ' s advice me loss. The students of Yorktown High School finished off another school year-but This Time With Meaning-just by being themselves. Whether it was the bubbly personality of Freshman Lisa McCoy, the love of frogs prior to Biology I dissection by Junior Dawn Barber, or the exhausting complet- ion of another rough baseball game by First Baseman Greg Miller, different personalities, abilities and interests emerged as 1985 became a truly meaningful year. The absolute delight of upsetting the Muncie Southside Rebels and winning the always tough Muncie Sectional for the first time in 12 years was almost too much to handle for Junior Grant Zgunda supported by good friend Junior Danny Flynn. His exhilaration was short lived, however, as the time clock showed three tragic seconds left, and the Tigers lost to their opponents 44-43. Friendship mean everything in high school life as Jun- iors Michelle Burton and Maria Codwin share a quiet moment together before a middle school choir performance, and Senior Frank Williams and Dave Helms use the white sands of Daytona to catch those Florida rays during Spring Break. Meanwhile, out on the Tiger baseball diamond, aspiring baseball star third grader Doug Vise looks up to Varsity Pitcher Alan Condon for some inspiration. Confidences are exchanged between Senior Susan Myers and Freshman Jenni Miller, during a spring tennis match, prov- ing age was no barrier to close friendships at a small high school. Hand in Hand we shared another year different from all others before. Our differences that set us apart were also the ones that pulled us together. • What other high school so tho- roughly treated their teachers to a day of their own as did Student Council members on Teacher Appreciation Day when they presented instructors with a decorated lounge, cake, cookies, punch and an individualized engraved mug? What other school can witness the Parking Lot Frolics of just-released exhuberant Seniors soaking one another with shaving cream and water balloons in an annual freedom ritual? • What causes Senior Judd Chaille to ride his ten speed bike into 6th period newspaper class on the same day as his exit from school- just one more time... ? • We do, that ' s who. A contrast of attitudes toward studies is evident in Seniors Beth Frieders and Dave Helms. Coping with the school year academics requires both fervent study- ing and knowing when to take it easy. il What does Yorktown High School mean to me?... all of the sports and extra-curricular activities... a place to develop independence and creativity.
