22 Spring With spring comes new life both to outdoor activities and the school itself Spring came and everyone was happy to see that the 2.5 billion dollar addition to ECHS was on its way. About a year ago the Elkhart County School Board and Indiana State Agency in Indianapolis along with the Elkhart Traffic Commission approved the plans for the new section of the school. Credit for this new addition goes to the architects, I.W. Brown in Indianapolis, Indiana and Christman Construction in South Bend. The new building will consist of new athletic offices and classrooms for the driver's education program, which will allow the art department to expand. The wrestlers will start out in the new wrestling room, while the old one will be converted for dance classes and reconstructed to adapt to special physical education programs. Thanks to the size of the gymnasium, the boys' basketball team will be able to have regular practices at school. The legal sized basketball courts will be a big advantage to the girls' basketball and volleyball teams which will be able to practice and play at home. Displaying an unique hobby.

Banquet provides fun ending to last day To finish off the Aloha Day activities, over 150 seniors attended the Senior Banquet held on May 19. Dressed in semi-formal attire, they all ventured to the 9th floor of the Creencroft Center raring and ready to go. The agenda for the evening started off with a dinner of roast beef, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable and dessert. After dinner Mrs. Sandra Duwe presented Regina Cary with the prestigious Trent Bias Award, while Principal Al Bias announced Denise Snyder the 'Most Outstanding journalist'. The top ten students were then given a medal and gold tassel to wear in commencement ceremonies. After the awards were all given out, the humor began. The senior speaker, Steve Smith, entertained the class with humorous predictions of various students m the audience. Jeff Lefebvre was awarded Best artist, for writing on the bathroom walls, bringing Mr. Minichillo joking out of his seat to scold him. Tom Clark was predicted as the Most likely to be used as a mop for his continual dives to the floor. Kevin Donnell was predicted Most likely to end up in a gutter. In between predictions musical entertainment was provided. John Weaver wrote and sang a song from the Senior Theme, And in time we'll all be stars. Arhee Love, Chris Ferro and Melissa Morison sang a broadway hit, and Mike Tetzlaff, Brett Cripe, Keith Wells, Dan Perron, and Randy Ahmann played a few Jazz tunes which had everyone tapping their feet to the beat. Winner of the 'Most Outstanding Journalist' award, Denise Snyder makes a very natural pose. Proudly holding the plaque which bears her name is the Trent Bias Leadership Award winner Regina Cary. 24 Senior Banquet
