4 ~eninr memories Looking back, we wonder Has it really been twelve years? Walking down our senior hall The memories appear. Thinking back to fun and friends, Will we leave it behind? When we go our separate ways What new things will we find? The parties we had, the times Make us smile and reminisce. So little time to say goodbye To friends we know we'll miss. Now, as twelve years have come and gone, We cherish the times we've spent, The practices, games and weekends, Things we did, places we went. So as we walk out to the world, Whatever may come to pass, We'll always hold the memories Of our '87 senior class. 3

53 Seniors reflect on special memories As our final year at Forest Park High School come to an end, we can reflect on the very special memories that our years have given us. Obviously, one highlight which we will never forget occurred in the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome when we were declared the state's best band in our class. We will also remember the challenges of the sectionals, the fun at Beta Convention, and the excitement of the Prom. But now comes the time to leave this world that we have known for so long and step beyond it to a new, far more vast universe. The journey is exciting, yet frightening. There are so many decisions that must be made, and made quickly. We are about to be tested, to be given a chance to show how well we have learned the lessons that our parents, friends and teachers have been trying to impart. We each hope that these lessons have been well learned so that we can lead happy, productive lives. We also hope that the faculty and classes will remember us not only as the class that liked to laugh, tease and have fun, but also as the class that had a sense of compassion, respon ibility and competitiveness.

104 '87 baseball season is rewarding Although the record was not impressive (9-18), the 1987 edition of varsity Ranger baseball was rewarding because of the hard work and dedication which was the team's trademark, according to Coach Jim Mehling.

They ended the season strongly with a 15-1 rout of Tell City. Line drives told the story, according to Coach Rock Emmert, as the young Rangers belted out twenty hits in this final game.

106 Girls advance to semi-finals of sectional Miss Michelle King commented on the 1987 girls' tennis season, "As the coach I was very pleased with the effort and enthusiasm that went into this season. The girls worked and showed continued progress. We opened our season losing to Barr Reeve 1-4, but six weeks later in the sectional we defeated Barr Reeve 4-1." This was the first year the Ranger girls advanced in the sectional tourney. After downing Barr Reeve they advanced to the semi-finals, losing to Jasper 1-4. Two of the four losing matches went three sets using tie-breakers to determine the winners. Coach King also said that this year's team demonstrated the support, encouragement and enthusiasm which helps to build each individual's confidence. "They supported each other both on and off the courts. When one member was down, another team member was there to pick her up. This characteristic stood out not only to our team but also to the other teams. This helped strengthen the 1987 team. Each player carried her own weight-if not by a point for the overall team score then through her moral support for another teammate.'' The girls' record was 6-6, with two wins and three losses in the Blue Chip Conference. l. Jenny Boeglin keeps her eye on the ball and hits the forehand winner. 2.

129 ... All the great times that we've shared We, the 1987 Tracer staff would like to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who gave a helping hand in the completion of this yearbook. We would like to thank Mr. Robert McCarty, our yearbook photographer, and Mr. Steve Pumphrey, our representative of Intercollegiate Press. A special thanks also goes to The Herald and The Ferdinand News for the use of some excellent photographs. And we want to thank all the area businesses that bought advertisements in our yearbook. All the contributions in helping our staff complete this year' s book are greatly appreciated. We would also like to give a special thanks to Mr. Ed Walston, our adviser for the yearbook. He helped pull us through many struggling times until finally the book was completed. All of us in the class of '87 have struggled through many hard battles to make it to our senior year. We have survived the struggles and have made many accomplishments along the long road. Now the time has come that we must enter a larger world with many responsibilities, and all we have left of our high school years are the memories and the pictures of all the great times that we've shared.
