SS op eT NTR hen the bell tolled on the first day and the students ran for their classrooms, there was a motivation everyone could feel. The sum- mer had sparked an excitement that hadn't yet worn off. Students knew their surroundings were changing. A new principal had come aboard, the new band director had already made his mark early in August during band camp, and months before the foot- ball team had been preparing for a state wide playoff in- stead of a cluster system. After school started, the freshmen blended in better than the previous year by receiving the first two spirit points of the year as they had the most parents and grandparents come to school visitation. Laughter and lightheartedness filled the air as changes continued. The quality of the lunches changed along with grow- ing requests from the larger and younger student body. A new line named Mr. B's Deli was added to the cafeteria in December, serving pan pizza, nachos, and stuffed baked potatoes. The line was a welcomed in- centive for those who don't get out to lunch. Students’ awareness began to explode when the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council brought students together to organize a one day program on drug and alcohol abuse. Bill Essex, the featured speaker, used enthusiasm, humor, and times of seriousness to make the crowd both laugh and cry. The discussion period at the end of the day gave students the chance to unite, voice, and maybe change their at- titudes on drugs and alcohol abuse. The scene throughout the day was both positive and alert. As the year continued, new Principal Robert Million began putting the spotlight on student involvement even more. He said that because of active participation, things were moving forward at Central. Students were establishing a greatness that was changing the scene.”’ RULY WRAPPED up in Blue and White Day, Steve Brown shows his spirit at the first school pep rally in the New Gym. ™ KEEPING DRY under a blue um- brella, Principal Robert Million sympathizes for the players on the muddy field as he watches the Big Blue mangle Memorial. «Go BLUE!” yells Kiersten Lind- | | ENDING A HELPING HAND, berg as she gets crowd going Delonna Eash and Debbie Hess to help Adams stop from scoring. help out Chris Hall in decorating a locker.

Spirit exploded in the first few weeks as the enthusiastic Spirit Club members decorated the halls. This made spirits soar even higher. Blazer football generated positive results after the change from a cluster system to a state-wide playoff. Tension built as Central students prepared for the Adams game and the long-awaited return of the Homecoming. Even though the wheels were turning at Central to change the scene, at the same time many important, positive events remained unchanged.

We've got spirit, how about you?”’ It started many grueling weeks before August 28. Club leaders were preparing for the first Homecoming in years that would involve a queen and her court. It was when school began, however, that the ideas and the involvement soared to new heights. Signs were painted, dance arrangements were made, and kids began to throw blue and white, right and left. On September 20 students scurried from the building and began transforming their cars into miniature floats, preparing for the parade later that evening. When the band sounded and the parade began, chants and cheers began in the stands. This continued until victory was proven. Central’s striving for spirit refused to lighten after Homecoming. As the Memorial Central game approached. ECHS was filled with spirit not just within the school but within all the students as they burst out of their normal routine to become wild and crazy during Spirit Week. Spirit Week ended with a bang and a laugh at a rowdy pep rally—a time when faculty and students exploded with spirit as one. “We've got spirit, yes we do,” and students participated in it more each day. Pride was reflected through attitude, but spirit made people respect the fact that “We are the best, you've got it, ECHS!”” Student Life Division 7 MEMORIAL NERDS for the day WITH A FLICK of a cigar “ener include (seated) Jodi DeGolier, and an alluring smile, S t Kelly Kersting and Tina Dibley.

The object was to gain yet another victory over Memorial. Monday started off as students tried to lick the competition by consuming two cases of dum- dum suckers at five for a quarter. Blazers stumbled into school on Tuesday dressed as Memorial nerds. Although no one could compare to the opposing school’s “‘nerdiness,’’ Central students con- glomerated stripes, plaids, prints and solids to be as “nerdy’’ as possible. Wednesday followed with glitter and glamour. Most people dressed as their favorite star to gain points for their class. He-weigh-in day was the theme for Thursday as students dressed in “‘Hawaiian’’ attire and weighed in the football players of each class. With 4,400 pounds, the freshmen players won. As the week came to a close on Friday, Central was a wave of blue and white. At the end of the day the Blazers got together and displayed their emotions at the first pep rally. Building pyramids, cheering on graduating years, and having a contest for best blue and white costume polished off the spirit points for the week. Anne Holdeman’s surprising ‘‘striptease’’ brought out a lot of enthusiasm from the crowd. An even more attention grasper was Principal Robert Million’s in- sistence on calling the Mangy Lion the Mangy ‘‘Bear”’ (reminiscent of the Colonial mascot). Mr. Tom Kurth’s positive remarks and excitement for the game gave the crowd and the players enough energy to bring a 14-0 victory and ‘‘Mangy”’ home for the fifth year in a row.

MAKING THEIR WAY Keeping Central co ee a in from the parking lot. eaving the long, hot summer behind and pass- ing through the doors of Central started yet another year and many new scenes. Walking down the halls before first hour, students stop to laugh, gossip, and exchange answers before starting a different day of classes. Quick ‘“‘goodbyes”’ and fast dashes to first hour are often accompanied by yells of ‘‘Meet me at the front doors for lunch,’ and the five minute warning bell. The sounds of slamming lockers and laughter trail off as the bell tolls. A few tired stragglers slip into first hour after the bell, trying to figure out how many tardies they have in first hour. A new picture has set in. Students busy at work in their three morning classes, taking notes, tests and sharing ideas bring on a more serious setting at Central. Finally, lunch arrives and the halls become alive. While some stay in for lunch meetings, or to catch up on homework others meet at the front doors and rush out to the parking lot to get out for a quick lunch, which seems to be a welcomed change of scenery for most. After school a number of different things are going on to keep Central a live until the early evening hours. Sports practices, meetings, Spirit Club work sessions, and making up missed work all occur ‘‘after hours” as the day unwinds and comes to a close.

Few people will forget the fear backstage as the stage manager, Brian VanHarlinge, hissed, ‘Hold the curtain for as long as possible, the back wall is falling down!” The crew came to the rescue by wedg- ing a crowbar over the styrofoam stones and the bright- ly painted back piece. Few people will laugh as hard as they did at some of Todd Dukes’ (the jester) slightly-less-than-graceful rear flops off the banquet tables, or when Dukes terrorized Mr. Ong’s baby, Jonathan, in the orchestra pit. Mike Hufford (Prince Dauntless) also rated a round of hysterical laughter for his swan dive across the stage to engulf Lesley Weaver’s (Princess Fred) knees, though Andy Keyse (Sir Harry) felt Hufford’s falsettos were fun- nier than his humorous antics. Weaver countered this with a chuckle for the first time Keyse appeared on stage in tights.

As you walk through the doors of the old gym, you are greeted upfront with a scene of Hawaiian attire, sunglasses, ‘Risky Business” style, and leis of every color.

After a few wild dances of twisting, turning, and shaking everything out of your body, a slow song eae to play. rying out from the speakers is Klymaxx singing, ‘‘| Miss You.” You debate with yourself whether to wander around the dance floor for a few minutes, hop- ing for ‘‘him” to ask you to dance, or go off with your friends for a Coke. Over all of the loud music, you could only hear him say, ‘‘...you...dance?” Apparently you said yes, you would like to dance, because for the next three songs you slowly swayed to the music with him. By the last slow song, ‘‘Separate Lives,’’ your conversation was flowing easily, and you were in seventh heaven. At the end of the song he asked you if he could call you, and you said sure. The music gained its usual loudness as “Smokin’ In The Boy’s Room”’ started blaring. You said your ‘‘byes’’ and went back to your in- dividual group of friends. Jumping, shouting, and swaying to the beat of ‘‘The Conga” got the dance rolling again. With ten minutes left before you had to leave your ‘‘Wild Paradise” behind, the lights start flashing as the entire gym starts chanting along with the song, ‘‘Mony, Mony.” Laughing with your friends on the way home, you looked back on the dance and smiled. ‘‘It was a blast,” you thought. magine if you will ... a mass of students pouring C ELEBRATING THE VICTORY over Adams is Laura and her friends jamming at the Homecoming dance. 16 Dances W AITING FOR THE NEXT slow dance are Chris Rop and Darla Demorrow, who are discussing the success of the Winter Whisper sponsored by NHS.

Fr a A night for a sense mea Cd ELE PELE GSES AV STNOS and Prince Charming SOOO LOO entral couples entered the doors and became engulf- ed by ocean walls in a ‘“‘Night of Fantasea’’. As May 17th slowly rolled around, guys and gals began preparing for the one night a year when she can feel like Cinderella and he like Prince Charming. A lot of preparation, however, goes into the time span of seven or eight hours, and problems always spring up at the last minute. ‘My tux didn’t fit and my mom had to redo it,” was Bart Kinneman’s terrible fate, with many following suit by having car troubles, getting in car accidents the night before, not being able to dine out because of a sporting event, or even forgetting to buy a slip. When plans finally get ironed out, the night begins. Parents start snapping photos at a smile a minute, and those minutes turn to hours. Some have to rush to make dinner reservations. The car pulled up in front of Central. The excitement mounted as he opened her door, and she ran to the canopy to escape the rain. He took her arm and entered the doors. He slipped their ticket to a slave, and they walked to take still another picture, but this time they stood surrounded by bright colored fish and beautiful plants. It wasn’t until they walked under the archway of balloons that the ‘‘Night of Fan- tasea’’ came to life. When the couples walked on to the dance floor, their feet glided with the sounds of a live band, “This End Up’. “The band was really good. It added a more romantic touch than the record machines,”’ Anne Holdeman positively expressed. As people started pulling down decorations, the ball was over and Cinderella ran to catch the carriage. F OR MANY COUPLES, the romance starts as the slow dance begins.

It’s he music became louder and the excitement mounted as couples flowed through the doors of the Elks and squeezed too many bodies on one dance floor. Katie McKenna and Theresa Thomas agreed that ‘‘the breakfast was more fun because people were more comfortable. You can be more relaxed and go wild.” Eggs, bacon, and donuts were consumed mostly by the guys as the girls tried to separate balloon bunches to take as souveniers. For those who wished to dance the night away, the breakfast lasted till 4 in the morning. However, most chose to come and go, staying only an hour or so. Thanks to a group of parents, a bus trip to Cedar Point was organized and at 6:30 Sunday morning three buses departed Central, not to return until 10:30 the same night. ‘‘Cedar Point was a lot of fun. The rain didn’t even bother us much,” said Anne King about the day-after activities. For those who felt they could stay awake, their cars took off for Great America, downtown Chicago, or Saugatuck, Michigan. As his car pulled up to her door, two tired teens said their good-byes and the weekend had come to an end. John Nagy explained why one weekend could be so special: “You get to be with someone you really want to be with for thir- ty hours straight.” Prom 21 W ALKING THROUGH THE PRO- CESSION with dignity are Kathy Alig and Stacey Manos.

This thought had begun to sink in as they went through the commencement exercise. “Success doesn’t come to those who sit around and wait for it to walk up the front steps and ring the doorbell,’’ said speaker Susan Summers. She added later, “Il wasn’t ner- vous. | just wanted to try and express some words of wisdom.”’ Words of appreciation were given by Principal Robert Million, who thanked the class for making a joint effort with him to have a successful year. Andrea Welty presented the class gift, a data display message board, which will be a welcomed addition to the Student Center. After the diplomas were handed out and Mr. Million recognized the grads, a roar of relief came from the field.

The biggest change was the Academic Banquet in the spring. For the first time at Central, students were honored for their academic ex- cellence. The top twenty in each class were recognized, along with a student from every grade level in every depart- ment. A special award was given to Joe Froschauer at the banquet. The new award was named the A. L. Bias Leader- ship Award. (See p. 103). A great change of scenery was experienced by several German students when they traveled abroad to Germany and other German-speaking countries. (See p. 44). Another change was the addition of Latin in the foreign language department. Various clubs conglomerated to bring programs to create a better awareness of drinking and driving to Central students. A few changes for the better were made by the Speech team, Orchestra, and Concert Choir. The Speech team cap- tured a first place team trophy at the St. Joe Invitational. Or- chestra brought home third place in the State Contest, while Concert Choir obtained seventh. All of these changes reflected the pride and hard work displayed at Central.

Field trip to Stratford, Ontario for Shakespeare oO matter which high school one attends, Shakespeare is a common topic of study. Shakespeare has been acclaimed as the most pro- lific playwright of all time, which has led to his honor of being known as _ the greatest playwright. Almost every student at one time or another reads “Romeo and Juliet’ or “Julius Caesar’’; but reading a play is worlds apart from seeing a live performance. To develop an understanding of Shakespeare ’s style and the dramatization of his works, 35 students from Central and Memorial traveled to Stratford, On- tario, Canada, for two days to watch two live performances. Stratford, Ontario an- nually conducts a Shakespeare Festival beginning in May and en- ding in October. Each season a theme is chosen, with the best Shakespearean plays for that central idea being per- formed. This year’s festival deals with Shakespeare’s use of romanticism. The first play the group saw was the _ tragedy ‘Hamlet’, presented at the Avon Theatre. This production of “Hamlet” was given a modern touch as the set- ting displayed the attire of the first decade of the 20th century. After a three-hour inter- mission between plays, the students and their chaperones went to the Festival Theatre to see ‘‘The Boys from Syracuse,’’ a musical by Rodgers and Hart. Although to view a Shakespearean play was the purpose of the trip, shopping and sightseeing were other objectives of the students—and they had plenty of time to fit those activities in between plays. The general consensus of the students who went was that they definitely lov- ed Stratford, loved the plays, but definitely did not love the fifteen-hour bus trip.

Teachers, students embark on a passage fo [ndia wo teachers in Social Studies par- ticipated in a special trip to India in the summer of °85. Mr. Dennis Nowicki and Mrs. Phyllis Warrick traveled to Madras, India as a part of a Fulbright study group. The two were among fifteen teachers from Indiana. The trip was designed to educate the teachers on the Indian family and_ Indian education. Mr. Nowicki felt that it enriched his understanding of social studies. “Now | have ex- perienced a different culture,’ he noted, ‘which 32 Social Studies —— He bs has helped me teach my classes.” The group visited many different schools. The main objective of the schools visited is literacy. Mrs. War- rick had the privilege of talk- ing with some Stella Maris students. She asked them about their future plans. In an article in “‘The Corner Schoolhouse,”’ Mrs. Warrick pointed out that, “l was sur- prised no one spoke of mar- riage. | wondered how many would have marriages ar- ranged by their parents.”’ The culture of the Indian people left a strong impres- sion in both teachers’ minds. “People were just sleeping in the streets,’’ described Mr. Nowicki. “They work very hard under very difficult conditions. They are very proud people and have a right to be.” Mrs. Warrick talked about the Indian tradition of a dowry: ‘One sociologist in- formed us that even though the d owry is Officially outlaw- ed, it is still expected.”’ The trip was not. all business. The teachers also had the chance to see the In- dian countryside and _ its mystical monuments. Mr. Nowicki remembers, “The jungles, the clothes, and the countryside itself were so beautifull!” Mrs. Warrick said that they “returned trying to grasp the Indian mystique. Is it the graceful women in brilliant colored garments? The pink hills of Pajasthau?’” She went on to say that the Taj Mahal ‘‘alone is well worth a journey to India. Words alone cannot express the ritchie ee oe ae ornamentation.’ | | | | | | 1 Exploratory teaching gives personal experience xploratory teaching, taught by Phyllis Warrick, is an ex- citing way to get the feel of teaching or social work. Students can participate in this course by choosing it as an elective if they have two free hours a day. Mrs. War- rick explains, “Students go out and work two hours on an assignment, and they keep a journal on what they do each day.”’ When the students go out on assignment, they act as aides to teachers, and they work with community agen- cies and schools.

Wendy Edman said that she chose this elective because she is interested in this field of work and her counselor suggested that this course would really be a valuable experience. Wendy explains, ‘‘I fix their snacks, play games with them, teach lessons, help them with their flashcards, and | even play with them at recess!”’ All the students taking this SUMANTHA SUBRAMANIAN AND OTHER students from neighboring schools attend the Indian con- ference in the ECHS library. course agreed that they ex- perienced many things that they would not have had a chance to experience other- wise. They also agreed that when they first signed up for this course, they expected a lot of classroom work but in- stead they found to their delight that the majority of their time would be spent out on assignments.

He throws Joe in the pool—clothes, whistle, and all. After diving back in to retrieve his lost wallet and belt, Joe is ready to continue with the race. All four teams line up on the edge of the pool and the whistle blows. The race is on and the junior class is in the lead. Juniors place first, win- ning a spirit point for their class.

Even with a reversed itinerary, the students had the opportunity to see many castles, shop in small villages, and get a taste of the German lifestyle. “The highlight of the trip was seeing the different castles,’’ commented Michelle Ramer. The castles were a popular part of the trip for many of the students. “My favorite part was Oberammergau,’’ added Rochelle Krause. Both Sam Carter and John Bowman agreed that Lucerne was one of their favorite parts of the trip. ‘‘Getting that day to ourselves was a lot of fun.” Michelle felt that going to Germany ‘‘gave me the chance to meet and learn about people in another part of the world.”’ soak up a different atmosphere.

The village was just like in a storybook.’’ Another popular attraction was Munich, Ger- many, twice the site of the Olympics. While in Germany, students visited a _ Hof- brauhaus. The Hofbrauhaus is the German version of a pub. A lot of singing, danc- ing, and drinking are pre- sent. ‘‘I liked it because of the culture you felt when you're there,” said Michelle. Whatever the reasons, everyone agreed that they had a good time and that they would go again. All agreed it was worth the time and money. FRESHMAN BIOLOGY LABS ARE very interesting, yet confusing to Cathy Baer and her partner. Labs add interest and encourage Thinking like labs because | think that they are rune and “in- teresting,’ claims Jocqueline Frazier. This was a common response in a poll conducted among Central's science students. Labs can be an important part of any science class. Mr. Lynn Garrard, basic science and biology teacher, states that labs make students find their own observations and conclu- sions. ‘‘Labs force students to think,’ Mr. Garrard adds. The majority of the students polled like to work in small groups or by themselves. Junior Trennis Garber says, ‘‘A small group is better. You can speak up to them when you want to or when you need help.”’ Another junior, Sheila Brink, confessed that you MAKING A FINAL DECISION ON the unidentified creature in the bot- tle is Carey Thompson. can ‘“‘get social’ in small groups. Eleventh grader, Jeff Papa says, “Labs give you a chance to work with other people in the class and therefore you can be totally confused as a group rather than as an individual.’’ Con- fusion is often discussed hand in hand in labs among many students. Sophomore Anne Holdeman epitomizes the general opinion, ‘‘Some labs are harder because they just confuse me.”’ Other students who can avoid the confusion find that lab work can clear up any muddy waters of many scientific problems. Freshman Julie DeGroff ex- plains, ‘‘Labs give you a bet- ter grip on what is going on.”’ Dave Pedler, a junior, wishes that more labs were Oe HELPING OUT JENNIFER KURTZE is Karen Heal as they finish their physics lab. assigned because, ‘‘l understand more about what we are doing in class.” Eighty-seven percent of the students polled replied that labs make _ learning easier for them. Bob Weise, sophomore, explains, ‘“‘Labs allow a student to receive hands-on experience, which is always the best teacher.” Junior Danelle Chaney echoes the thoughts of many physics students when she says, ‘‘Labs allow you to see how a formula works.”’ Freshman Kassie Young said that ‘‘a teacher's demonstration can often be unclear, but experiencing it through a lab shows you what is happening. ’’ Most students polled agreed that labs require more time and effort than everyday classroom assignments. Junior Jonnie Lambka expresses her feel- ings towards labs. “I’m too lazy to like labs. They take too much effort.”’ Leslie Beery, freshman, was one of the ninety-one percent of the students poll- ed who thinks labs make science more interesting. She says, ‘Labs spice a class up; it would be very dull without them.” A very common response was that labs are fun because they are a change from the daily routine. Freshmen tended to like labs because they would rather do labs than watch a demonstration by their teacher. Eleventh grader, Dan Doyle, said it all when he said, ‘‘Labs explain scientific theories in terms normal people can understand.” by Willie Ertel WITH EXTREME CARE, WILLY Ertel completes his physics lab.

Varsity cheerleader, Filio Leonakis, agreed, “‘We tried to get more involved with the crowds and give more en- thusiasm to the teams.”’ The cheerleaders’ spirit showed in the decorated field house, homemade cookies for the teams, and the handing out of some in- spirational quotes to all members. All of this combin- ed with the Spirit Club’s Blazer Buddies, excellently decorated Student Center, ONE OF SPIRIT CLUB'S biggest projects was to get the Student Center ready for the Homecoming Dance. pep rallies, and newly form- ed cheerblock really added “‘a lot more spirit and pride in the school’ claimed Chris Wright, Varsity cheerleader. Another positive change in Blazer spirit was added when we decided to have lifters. Filio claims, ‘‘The guys helped out the spirit at games because it was new and caught people’s attention.” The Spirit Club President Ed Bethea, feels, ‘‘With all the changes that took place this year, we definitely had mor e interest and dedication to promoting school spirit and Blazer pride.” Spirit Cheerleaders 65 PREPARING TO WIN, the Blazers pose a tough strategy against the Chargers. Blazers defeated the Chargers 14-0 and kept the Mangy Lion for the fifth year in a row. 66 Athletic Division hanges happened all over in Blazer athletics. Dedication and pride in Central athletics created many accomplishments. Dedication appeared in all sports, as teammates helped each other, competed with each other, and practiced extra hours to reach the goals they had set. Central had the greatness to capture two State Runner-Up titles in one year. This is a great change to be proud of. Alice Holdeman won the Catherine Wolf Award for her outstanding achievements in tennis during her high school career. Holdeman also won the State Mental Attitude Award for tennis. Jenny Turnock won the State Mental Attitude Award in Girls’ Swimming. These two awards show the dedication and pride Central athletes have. Successful teams were not uncommon in Blazer Country. Titles won by Central included: State Runner Up—Girls’ Swim Team State Runner Up—Girls’ Tennis Semi-State Champ—Girls’ Tennis Semi-State Qualifiers—Golf Regional Champs—Girls’ Tennis Regional Qualifiers—Girls’ Cross Country Regional Qualifiers—Boys’ Cross Country Regional Qualifier—Golf Sectional Champs—Girls’ Swimming Sectional Champs—-Girls’ Tennis Sectional Runner Up—Boys’ Swimming Sectional Runner Up—Boys’ Tennis Sectional Runner Up—Golf Girls’ Mary Kendall All-Sports Trophy tie with Memorial WITH HIS EYES on the basket, Joe Froshauer puts up the basket with determination.

Many of the players were be- ing moved around from posi- tion to position and from of- fense to defense and the other way around. Head coach Tom Kurth was still confident about the season. Kurth explained to the media that, “We don't rebuild, we reload!”’ With the attitude, ‘‘We can’t be aggressive enough’’, the Big Blue Crunch Bunch recorded three shutouts during the season. After the third week of the season, the Blazers fell to Mishawaka. That was the turning point of the season. Teamwork and unity were on the minds of everyone. The Adams game was by far the biggest test of the year. Coach Kurth recalled that he had never seen one of his teams play so poorly one week and make such a miraculous turnaround.

That victory over Memorial was the fifth in as many years. better time. Randy Horton feels that ‘“‘peing the-under dog against Adams helped us prepare. We came together and what happened happen- ed!’’ For a good part of the season, the team had the chance to play in the rain. Jeff Babcock fe els that “the defense got used to playing in the rain which means that we got better as it rained.”’ The game in which the most rain fell was the Memorial game. “Memorial talked all year. We felt that we had to keep the Mangy for another year just like the seniors before us,” explains Horton. “We had a goal; we wanted to win that game. We had something to keep, and we were going to do anything to keep Mangy,”’ stated Jeff Babcock. JUNIOR VARSITY defense prepares to break the huddle to do battle with Michigan City Elston.

Without him, the team finished the season by winning three of five and whipping Memorial 70-49. Six weeks had passed and Froshauer’s cast was off, but no one knew whether he would play. In the first game of Sectionals, Memorial was the opponent. With the help of Burger King’s Herb, the Blazers sent Memorial home losers for the third time in the season. Joe Froshauer got the start for the Blazers and he stunned the crowd at Nor- thside by scoring over 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

We had a lot of confidence, and we didn’t feel any pressure go- ing in.”’ Semi-State was the next step for the netters. ‘‘When we got to our first match, we found out that the line-up had been jumbled around. Singles players were playing doubles—it wasn’t fair. The IHSAA told us to go ahead with the match against the stacked Merrilville team. We beat them 4-1 anyway,” said Susan Summers, number two doubles player with Christy Papa.

It was a close victory for Central with scores of 3-2. In the championship match, In- dianapolis Cathedral beat the Blazers 5-0. “All players thoroughly en- joyed the State final weekend,’ noted Anne Myers. ‘‘They brought home a runner-up trophy, and as far as the underclassmen go, a renewed desire for the championship trophy.’ GIRLS’ TENNIS—Front Row: Monica Gonzales, Heather Borneman, Allison Wells.

The highlight of the season was the third game when Central accomplished something that they had never done before. They played to a zero zero deadlock with powerhouse St. Joe. After one loss to Adams, Central went on to win or tie the next six games. The Memorial game was senior night and six seniors were honored. For five of the seniors it marked their fourth year on the team. They were Steve Brown on defense, Jeff Hagedorn at midfield, Malcolm Morrison on defense, Scott McCaslin at forward and David Querry on defense. Central finished the goal uncontested.

Teens had new hair dos, new attitudes, and of course new clothes to start off the year. Expectations of school differed from person to person but each was in pursuit of his own goal, whether it be to letter, pass with straight A’s, or simply have fun. As the year con- tinued, the excitement grew between the classes as all learn- ed to live together by being involved in pep rallies, student assemblies, and fighting for spirit points. The basketball games brought a scene of unity to all who witnessed the en- thusiasm and team spirit as students cheered fellow classmates to many victories. When the year began to wind down, it was noted that peo- ple change and this year’s enthusiasm brought a new scene to Central. FOREIGN STUDENTS—Front Row: Daniella Jordan, Germany.

One major improvement is the progress the junior highs and high schools have made in reorganizing their systems. After the change from a junior high to a middle school, both the middle schools and high schools had to adjust to their new at- mospheres. Since the change, Dr. Bechtold said, “We've refined the secon- dary curriculum and improv- ed the education on the secondary level.”’ Another concern on the on changes high school level is “ . . . hav- ing enough space to satisfy the increased graduation re- quirements,”’ said Bechtold. He is also concerned with maintaining the quality of the high school staff. The system's main con- cern is keeping the kids in- terested in school and away from drugs and _ alcohol. Bechtold suggests, ‘‘Kids need to find something they like to do, and throw their whole self into it. The high school years are the best times of your life. If you aren't trying hard in school, you are missing the boat.” Bechtold commented that the high school test scores are on the rise and he wants the excellence to continue in the schools.

Central had a very receptive audience this year’’, noted Principal Robert Million. Mr. Million took on the dif- ficult task of being the new principal at ECHS. He handl- ed the situation easily and supported many new and im- portant programs. One of these changes was working with various groups to draw attention to drug and alcohol abuse, along with of- fering students choices other than drinking. He also promoted the reactivation of Spirit Club and the improve- ment of the freshmen in fit- ting into the high school atmosphere. The finale was the revival of the long awaited Homecoming. ‘It was fun being a part of the revival of PRESENTING the Al Bias Leadership award to Joe Froshauer, Vice Principal Robert Minichillo works with discipline and supervision. such an exciting event,”’ noted Million. According to Million, one of ECHS’s strongest points is the pride and enthusiasm for the Blue Blazers. ‘‘Last year,” said Mr. Million, when | was an outsider looking in at Central | gained a great deal of admiration for the staff and students. After be- ing here a year, | feel an even greater admiration. The staff and students of ECHS find a special way to draw attention to their athletes and scholars.” Perhaps the most im- pressive improvement was the new attention given to academic achievement. Million presided over the first annual academic honor ban- quet. He also helped begin a new program giving letters and chevrons to members of various clubs and organizations.

Once in a while a bright colored bubble might blow up in such colors as pink, purple, yellow or green. A poll of 100 students from the class of ’89 showed that 99% chewed gum whenever possible. Why do so many students chew gum? “I chew it sometimes if I’m nervous or uptight about something,” said one student. Favorite flavors include grape, watermelon, raspberry, and strawberry. Out of the 100 polled, thirty- three students picked grape, making it number one. Se- cond was cinnamon, while spearmint and_ strawberry tied for third. Cherry came fourth and bananaberry split made fifth. As far as brand names are concerned, Bubble Yum tops the charts at Central. Bub- blicious follows second with Wrigley’s close behind for third. Hubba Bubba comes in fourth and a tie for fifth is between Extra and Juicy Fruit. Yes, chewing gum can be easily habit forming accor- ding to seventeen students who admit that they are ad- dicted.

What more logical place to find the freshman swimmer who among other accomplishments has cap- tured the state 200-yard in- dividual medley title, second in the 100-yard breaststroke at State, and 14th place in the U.S. nationals. Her achievements, however, mean more than the trophies and blue rib- bons; she has developed dedication and a winning at- titude which are obviously visible to the people around her. Swimming has given her something to strive for, in- cluding the ’88 Olympics. Her parents started her in swimming at a very early age, and she was later en- couraged into competitive swimming by a friend. She stuck with it, and since then has competed in the na- tionals three times.

Swimming for Central under Coach Karen Leeth is no picnic, but Angie manages to concentrate and still have time for school work. “School comes first. | want to be a doctor,’”’ says Ang ie, who hopes to attend Princeton. “But they don't offer scholarships in athletics.’ This problem un- doubtedly will be ironed out when the time comes. In spite of all that she has accomplished, she has re- mained somewhat modest about her ability. ‘| swim ok,”’ she states. ‘I would like to do better.” So with her teammates cheering her on, the ’88 Olympic trials will be the next big step.

Gymnastics is a very demanding sport, but Tam- my thrives on hard work. Even though the practices are long and tiring, Tammy wouldn’t trade it for anything. ‘Il love competing against others and trying to do my best to win!’ Tammy said adding, ‘‘Although it’s hard, it’s well worth it.”’ Tammy is not just an average high school com- petitor. She is currently in- volved with Gymnastics Michiana, a gym enrolling girls from all over the Nor- thern Indiana area. At the gym, Tammy works directly with two or three other girls who are on the same level of training as she. Her coaches, Don and Pam Poe, have helped her greatly since she’s been at Gymnastics Michiana. “She is a very dynamic gymnast, energetic, yet graceful.’’ says Poe. Her training doesn’t consist of just average practices. She practices daily for at least two and a half hours, if not more. This summer Tammy was given an opportunity for some ‘‘serious_ training.”’ She went to Houston, Texas to work with Bela Karolyi; Karolyi might be better known to us as Mary Lou Retton’s coach. Tammy stated, ‘“‘l have improved a lot since Karolyi’s camp. It did a lot of good for me!” While she was there, she practiced eight hours a day easily. She took ballet classes each day along with working on each piece of equipment for at least one and a half hours daily. Tam- my plans to return to Houston next summer for more work with Karolyi. Tammy is striving to achieve many goals. One of her goals is to score a 72 which denotes an elite gym- nast. Recentley Tammy scored a 71.15, just .85 away from her goal. She would like to compete in college and eventually open her own gym. OUTSTANDING GYMNAST Tammy Cardwell displays her award- winning form in the Central gym.

Other freshman skiers like Anne Scalise and Renea Whisler enjoy skiing ‘‘for the socialization.’ Says Anne Scalise, ‘| have a great time with my old and new friends.”’ The freshmen polled all agreed that ‘‘we go to Swiss Valley at least three times a week; mostly on weekends, and every day that we’re out of school.” Swiss Valley has eight slopes. The Quad is the favorite of Anne Scalise “because most of my friends are there.’’ Renea Whisler’s favorite slope is the triple because “‘it’s not too steep and usually has good snow to practice turns and fun stuff.” Although Swiss Valley is more convenient to get to, Tony Russo and Spence Mc- Caslin prefer Snowmass, Colorado. ‘‘It’s wide open and anything goes,’’ says Tony Russo.

Kris Olsen sometimes eats leftover pizza at the bus stop in the morning. Many students even order pizza to be delivered to their house. The average pizza that a sophomore buys is a sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom pizza with extra cheese. Most sophomores eat it with their friends as opposed to their families.

Jodi Price ex- plained that her parents were ‘‘glad when | got my license because they no longer had to take me everywhere or worry about how | was getting home.” Lisa Rynskis’ parents are “happy to have someone else to drive my little brother around.” Most of the sophomores waited until spring to get their licenses. About thirty percent will have received it during the snow and ice. A few could already drive in the fall. Half of the sophomores took driver’s ed, and most of those took it through College Driving School rather than here at Central. Many overlooked the fact, however, that you get a waiver at Central. Most sophomores claimed they would drive to school every day, though only fifty percent of them have their own cars. When it comes to gas, sixty-five percent said they would pay for their own gas, while twenty-five per- cent said their parents would pay.

They walked into the local fast food _ restaurant, grabbed Herb, and ran through the Holiday Inn. The main culprit admitted he got the idea when he read in the Truth how some Goshen College students got caught trying to steal the cardboard cutout. ‘‘! thought that if we could get away with Herb,, it would be fun.” Herb had been hiding out at one of the boys’ house un- til the first Sectional game against Penn. In fact, one of the boys had sneaked Herb into the game in a trash bag while the other faked a broken leg in order to get a crutch in. Once they got into the game, they taped Herb to the crutch and gave him his unveiling. One of the boys remarked, ‘‘We thought that if we brought him to the game, it would fire everyone 88 Class of up and keep them going all through the game.”’ During the game Herb was confiscated by a Burger King employee. The employee took him back and asked the manager if Central could keep him during the Sec- tional. The manager said since Central had such good Spirit, we could keep him.

Three-way calling is also particularly useful when you want to talk to two peo- ple at the same time. Having their own phones is important to people because they feel it gives an element of privacy.

Going to grocery stores and getting funny looks from the clerks sets the mood for an eventful evening. Throwing rolls of toilet paper into trees is just the beginning of a T.P.-ing excursion. Many students take along supplies other than generic toilet paper. Toothpaste, shaving cream, soap and “For Sale” signs often ac- company the toilet paper. Some even protect themseives against accusa- CxrECHz Cad tion by wearing rubber gloves while they soap win- dows so if they are accused, their hands won’t carry the “clean” aroma of soap. Everyone has his own methods and ideas on how to carry out his mission. All agree that they should wear dark clothes so they can blend in with the scene of the trees. Some even have lucky outfits to do their dirty work in. Chuck DeFries says he always wears camouflage pants and a hunting jacket for his excursions. David DeGroff insists on wearing his flourescent yellow socks to light his way around the yards. The fun starts with one person’s house being T.P.- ed, and after that it becomes an on-going battle. Dawn McMurry jokes, “‘It’s like one big war, and all of your friends are in on it!”’ Rob Lucier says that the excitement comes when the victim finds out and comes out after you. Whether you T.P. for fun or revenge, everyone agreed the job was complete when they saw the victim’s face the next day of school. by Jill Lee Scott Brown Curtis Buford Rhonda Burdin Daniel Burns Chad Bush Julia Callender Melissa Cameron Todd Campanello Mary Campbell Christine Carr Kathleen Cassell Lisa Cassell Christie Caterino Cam Cavitt Francine Chaney James Clair Andrea Clark Charles Clark Gloria Clark James Clark Michael Clark Roosevelt Clopton Phyllis Coggain Jacqueline Connah Dinah Cooper Jennifer Cortas Chris Coryn Laura Cothard Chantelle Couch Joe Courtney Jean Crise Jeremy Crise Carin Crume Theresa Culp Alta Jean Davis Lynn Davis Lynn Davis Scott Davis Jennifer Davy Tracey Day Delicia Decker Class of 87 131 Charles Defries David DeGroff Muriel Demerly Sarah Dillie Randall Dimos Mark Doberenz Michele Douglass Daniel Doyle Jamie Dubois Jill Dusthimer Bryan Dygert ssa Eldridge eri Elliott Joseph Eppers Thomas Ertel Jr. Kathryn Fernald Kristin Ferro Allen Fike Susan Fisher Julie Fizer Jodi Floyd Clarissa Forgey Nicola Franklin Patrick Franklin | | David Freet Jr. | | Samuel Froese I | Eric Gall | | Trennis Garber Sylvester Gates Michele Gibson Scott Gibson Kenneth Goad Patricia Goff Suzanne Goldsberry Robert Gooch Woody Graham Anthony Gray Brenda Green Shelly Green Gregory Green Clifford Griggs Donna Grove Sara Gruber Diana Grusczynski Sandra Gruver Lory Gushwa | Jennifer Hass | Stacey Hass Tonya Hagans Melissa Hamilton Eric Hapner | Kevin Hardin Germaine Hart Michael Hartman Anthony Haynes Willie Heard Paul Hemmes Diana Hernandez Alan Hibshman Eric Hickman Patrick Hiles Kimberly Hill Yvonne Hoelyfield Rodney Hohman Keith Hooker | Shawn Hooper | Kelly Horner Jared Horvath | Alex Hou Brent Howe Marlene Jackson Jill Jaecks Michelle Johansen Julie Johnson Teresa Johnson Katharine Jonas Christine Jones Douglas Jones Michele Jones Rhonda Jones 132 Class of ’87 o you walk down the hall and actually say, “I want to get to know ‘HER’ as a person?”’ ... “NO!” says Rob Lucier. When junior guys ‘look’ for girls, the girl is simply an ob- ject being evaluated. Where are the girls being evaluated? ‘‘Everywhere!”’ says Brent Landrum. Guys fix their eyes on girls at school, games, dance places (Greg Allen’s), and the mall. Even though guys admit they aren't looking for the ‘perfect girl,’ their descrip- tions are tough to fill. An ideal date, for most guys, would have long, wind-blown blonde or light brown hair, wear little makeup (just enough to make her look good), be thin (but not too thin), have blue or bright green eyes, and dress casually. The height of the girl varied, but most guys agreed with David DeGroff in that ‘She has to be taller than my waist and shorter than my chin!”’ The ideal, but not ‘perfect’ date would also be easy- going, semi-athletic (but not, of course, better than the GUY in any sport), fun to be with, and last, but not least, she must always laugh at the guy’s dumb jokes. SO as you can see girls, these guys aren't picky, are they? When making a move, the guys don’t want to be too ob- vious about possibly being interested in a girl. If a girl gives him a ‘clue’ by looking or flirting with him, the guy takes it as a key to make a move. Brent Landrum claims, ‘I’m embarrassed when a girl looks at me, but | like it. It’s kind of a clue that she may be interested in me!” Girls, keep staring, they love it!!! The ‘technique’ most used by juniors is to ask around about the girl. After they find out a little bit about her, they start “accidentally” running into her more often in the hall. Introducing himself is something the guy prefers to do, but if a girl introduces herself to him first, it im- presses him. The one big turn-off for guys is if a bunch of giggling girls come up to him and tell him their friend likes him. Girls, remember even though the boys are wat- ching you, you can watch them, too!! Give them something to think about by returning their stares and glances, but be yourself!! Watch out guys, we’re wat- ching you, too!!

They invite their friends over to goof around and are wat- ching movies until curfew. VCR’s rescue people on dates when there is nothing to do or when things become a little “‘boring.”” Brent Lan- drum admitted that he would resort to getting a movie when he couldn’t think of “anything else to do” ona date. He added ‘‘My friends VCR watching is fast becoming a popular pasttime and an excellent activity to fall back on if there is “nothing else to do.” and | will usually get a movie if we’re bored or after eating at Burger King, our latest ‘hang-out’.”’ Dan Burns agrees, ‘‘We like to get movies when there is nothing else to do.’ Dawn McMurry says that she likes to watch movies with her friends as a planned activity. Concerning his choice of movies, Brent exclaims, “Definitely horror flicks!” Dan Burns, on the other hand, likes comedies as well as horror movies. Dawn decided that she likes to watch whatever movie she -can get ahold of. Brent also says, ‘‘usually when | watch movies it is with the same group of friends, and we always watch at Dan Burns’s house, because he has the most ac- cessible VCR. Dan watches movies with Brent Landrum, David DeGroff, Dan Doyle, Rob Lucier and Greg Mann. -Dawn doesn’t watch with a certain group of people. “| either watch with a certain group of people that | have plans with or my date.”’ Christine Logan Karin Loisch Doug Long Duane Longbrake Christine Louck Karen Lowe Curtis Lowry Robert Lucier Xiao Luo Richard Lynn Shari Lyons Tonya Mack Gregory Mann Colline Mantle Tim Markle Tammy Marks Eden Marshall Gilberto Martinez Lisa Martsolf Jerry Massey Tracey Mathis Yoko Matsura Mark Mayberry Stephen McCall Anthony McCraner Debra McDowell Kenneth McFadden Kenneth McFall Christine McKibbin Dawn McMurry Betsy Meyer McNeely Matthew Messick Jason Middleton Michael Miles David Miller Elisa Miller Kent Miller Lisa Miller Stacy Miller William Mishler Class of 87 135 Scott Mitchell Billy Moore Jr. David Morse Tracy Mosier Adel Musick Steven Nabicht Manuel Navarrete Robert Neitzke Laura Nelson Terry New Edward Nicely Matthew Nuet Bryan Osborn Tracy Osborne Lisa Owens John Padilla Christin Papa Jeff Papa Kelly Patten Richard Payne David Pedler Chris Peterson Jill Pettit Joseph Pfeiffer David Pflug Thomas Proctor Christian Pulliam Craig Purciarele Sherry Quick Wendy Raeder Heather Ramsay John Ranschaert Robin Ravenscroft Roxanna Ray Elizabeth Reese Christopher Reglein Mark Reim Dawn Reisinger Sherrie Reynolds David Rice James Robinson Jennifer Robinson Jeffrey Rodgers Kelly Rogers Kelly Rogers John Romanetz Darrick Rose Michael Rossi Nicholas Roth Todd Rowland Ginger Sage Lisa Sanders Kimberly Sanderson Michael Schade Christy Schaefers April Schmidt Rady Sea James Sellers David Shaefer Sandra Shaefer Stacy Shelly Christopher Siebert Deborah Sigsbee Wayne Silver Bradley Simmons Scott Simmons Robert Sites Tina Smart Aaron Smith Katherine Snow Anthony Souders Joseph Spano Jennifer Spencer Jennifer Spry Todd Stachel John Stahl Christopher Steffen Donald Stephic Ricky Stewart Dawn Stoner 136 Class of ’87 orking out on Nautilus, lifting free weights and doing aerobics have become the latest phase in shaping up. More and more people are getting into shape, but the “in” way to get into shape is to work out in a ym. Football players David DeGroff and Rich Groff work out mainly for football, but they both agree that they do it to keep in shape. They both work out five to six days a week for one-and-a-half to two hours daily. Alternating between free weights and working out on WORKING OUT on Nautilus equip- ment are juniors Sue Borneman, Ann Brennan, and Jill Dusthimer. Nautilus seems to be the best way to stay in top form. Dave also boxes and jumps rope when he works out at Randy’s Gym, while Rich does, as he says, “‘too many sit-ups and a lot of jumping rope.” “The main goal is to reach muscle fatigue. That means that there is growth in the muscle, and your work-out has helped you,” says Rich. David noted, ‘‘After work- ing out for a certain amount of time, it becomes a “‘habit”’ and if you skip one day you become sorer the next time.” Although DeGroff and Groff agreed that they weren't working toward the “perfect body,’’ they like the results of working out and feel that it helps them greatly in football. Along with the benefits of shaping up come the benefits of a gym being a social arena. Sue Borneman and Ann Brennan work out at the “Y”’ on Nautilus. They both feel it helps them become stronger in_ their sports. They also believe there are great social benefits. Ann says, ‘My work-out takes between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. It Ss depends who is watching. If someone interesting is wat- ching, | have to make my workout look tough.” So, the social aspect seems to make some work harder. “It can only help me get in better shape,’ said Sue Borneman as she explained that she worked out on 12 different machines. Each machine specializes on a certain set of muscles. Whether you start working out to gain the ‘perfect body’ or for the social aspect, or maybe just to get into shape, the Nautilus program and lif- ting free weights are great ways to achieve your goal.

F or Christy Bickart, fashion is “being in style and dressing sharp.”’ Brent Landrum’s idea of fashion is ‘weird hairdos and clothes.” How important is comfort in fashion?

For instance, Swat- ches are the latest fad and fashion accessory. Todd Eads labels them ‘‘stupid,”’ but Christy Bickart thinks they are neat, ‘‘but if you wear too many of them, they look junky.’’ Mark Warlick thinks, ‘“‘They are too expen- sive for what you get.”’ The new fads in the teenage eye are ‘‘Forenza,”’ “Guess,” oversize clothing, Stirrup pants, and paisley. Diana Gruscznski says, “Forenza clothes are nice, but expensive, | don’t go out of my way to buy something just because it’s ‘‘Foren- yy o99 za’’.”’ Jill Dusthimer likes “Forenza” clothes because “with the bright colors and wide variety of tastes, | can always find something | like.” Commenting on paisley, Matt Baer thinks, ‘It is ugly, and | wouldn’t wear anything that was paisley.’”” Alex Hou agrees, ‘‘It looks like scum- my plasma on cloth.”’ Do students really want their boyfriends or girlfriends dressing in the latest fashion? “‘l like guys to dress G.Q. They look sharp, and not like anyone else.” Scott Lee says, ‘‘Anyone partion chatees vary who wants his girlfriend to dress like that is crazy and blind (or they will be after looking at some of these clothes).” Joe Spano likes ‘her to dress in whatever she thinks is cool.’ Sherill White ad- mits, “If my guy dresses sharp, he turns’ heads; sometimes the extra atten- tion can be fun.’ Bart Kin- neman says strongly, ‘'l definitely like my girlfriend to dress stylish. | think girls need to express their style and fashion is one perfect way.” WINTER WEIGHT striped sweater |} keeps Jill Pettit warm in _ Keyboarding. ek ee a AN OVERSIZED blouse and baggy ASPRINGTIME vest over a paisley lie ; pants adorns Karen Lowe who gets __ blouse protects Heather Ramsey oe ready to head for fourth hour. from the air-conditioned chill.

Sunday was the actual pageant, and all the girls par- ticipated in a production number. The girls were to in- troduce themselves. “It was lucky for me that | was number 97 because as | was Changing to my evening gown, the hem ripped. | had to tape it before | could go on stage.” Keith Cuvo Lorri Cuvo Sheila eer Douglas Davis James DeFreese Charlotte Dencker John Deputy Glen Derr, Jr. Fred Detwiler Paula Douglas 142 Class of ’86 From that point on, little things just kept popping up—some bad, some good. “| was the first name call- ed for the ten semi-finalists. As | tried to run on stage, | lost my left shoe, regained it, then lost my right shoe and ended up with one shoe on, one shoe off.” After another session of poise and a short interview, five semi-finalists were an- nounced. ‘‘We were stuck in a sound proof box, and each one of us had to answer the question, “‘What do you think the biggest problem facing teenagers is today” To this she answered, ‘Trying to keep world peace.”’ “| just wasn’t nervous for some reason,” she added. “Being a semi-finalist was more than | could ask for,”’ and then “they called the first runner-up. | couldn't believe | had won. As | was receiving the sash, flowers and the trophy, | cried so hard. | hadn’t considered the possibility of winning.” From here, Susan _ will travel to Indianapolis in Oc- tober 1986 for the Nationals and compete for a $1000 scholarship. by Donna Weed 7 7 CONGRATULATIONS are offered from fellow contestants to Susan Summers, Miss Teen Indiana at the pageant.

Some students go into college thinking of nothing but constant study—others go in with the idea of a party every night. Katie McKenna decided that she is going to put most of her effort and time into art, but she would also like to do well in her other classes. “‘Art is going to be my major, so that’s what I’m going to work the Matthew Harter Andria Hawk Aron Hemund James Hendrick Lara Henninge Timothy Hershberger Debra Hess Janice Hickman Kevin Hilgendorf Tracey Hill Timothy Hines Shirley Hixon Mark Hofling Alice Holdeman Amy Holzhausen Chery!

Alice Holdeman says, ‘Yes, l’m_ terrified e6College is scare because | don’t know what to expect.’’ Mindy Wolgamood also admits that she is afraid, ‘‘Because | don’t know who I’m rooming with, and | don’t know exact- ly what I’m majoring in.” Kathy McKay, on the other hand, is going into college with great expectations: “I’m not scared; | want to make lots of friends, true friends. | do expect it to be really hard academically, but I’m going in with the attitude to try my best. | think it is going to be a new experience and adven ture.’ John Deputy just wants a good education and to be socially acceptable. He does, however, have a major goal in mind: ‘‘To have a positive attitude and to prove to all of the other colleges that didn’t accept me that they were wrong. It was their loss.”’ NOTRE DAME BOUND senior Matt Minichillo reads up on the university.

The threat of headhunters is in the air. The sun beats down on your bare skin as the two of you cling together for safety. Being stranded on a remote island has a savage allure to all. The thought of such an exciting scenario evoked ideas in the minds of several seniors. When asked with whom they’d most like to be strand- ed, students responded: “Jim DeFreese, then maybe we could have some time alone without my brothers in- terrupting, or my mother lec- turing us.’' —Kim Nunemaker “Delonna Eash, because if | didn’t say her she’d probably beat me with a bamboo shoot.” —Robert Mann “Delonna Eash, just to see what Robert Mann would Adell Kyle Charles Lamb Christopher Lamb Rick Lane Barbara Larkin Wendy LaRue Colleen Laughlin Jodi Law Michael Lee Stephanie Leeling 146 Class of ’86 do.” —Troy Wright ‘Joe Froschauer, need | ex- plain?’’ —Andrea Welty “None, because I’ve been stranded with them in Elkhart long enough.’’ —Dave Speas “Chris Saal, because he’s a lot of fun and he’s got an awesome back view.’’ —‘‘Dizz’’ O’Dell “Jenny Turnock, because she could swim for help after awhile.’”’ —Dave Moniot “None of them because I'd rather be stuck with an older man.” —Jeni Woods “Fillo, Why?

After being nominated for the honor by former band director Gerald Knipfel, in June of 1985, Eric was sent audition music; he taped his playing, and sent it back to the selection committee. He was then selected as one of two high school students to represent Indiana in the McDonald’s All-American Band. There have been only five students from the Melinda Method Shaun Middleton Jeff Milan Todd Miller Matthew Minichillo Kristen Mitchell Kendra Moeggenberg Kimberly Mohr David Moniot Bobbett Moore Stacey Moore Malcolm Morison John Mullins Anne Myers Christopher Myers John Nagy Clarence Nance, Jr. Terrance Nicely, Jr. Cynthia Nix Steve Norton 148 Class of ’86 Elkhart area who have received this honor with over 1,000 nominees a year. For the audition, he played one of the most difficult pieces he has every played and practiced more than usual. “I realize the impor- tance of practice. Through the McDonald’s Band, I’m looking forward to a fantastic experience working with dedicated musicians.’ Besides being good musi- cians, the members must achieve academically as well. Eric Bowers admits he has remained a good student because, ‘My parents decid- ed school work was more important.”’ Near the end of November, Eric was sent the performance music. Then he flew to New York for one week of practice sessions. “Everyhting was new,” commented Eric. There was a lot of traveling involved. The Macy’s Day parade was held Thanksgiving Day in New York. After that, it was off to Chicago’s Christmas Parade. i | Before the Tournament of Roses Parade in California, the band had a little break to — go sightseeing, ‘‘The Rose Parade was kind of the ‘highlight’ of the whole trip; it came together.” Eric said. Eric attributes his good fortune to good music teachers. Donna Enfield, the Main Street McDonald’s store manager, confirms that “We're very proud of Eric. It’s not just the spoken word; he is very nice.” —— PERFORMING AT THE TOURNA- MENT OF ROSES, All-American Band member Eric Bowers represents Indiana. oy : 22 ae eS o Y Kimberly Nunemaker Julie O'Dell Robert Osborne Susan Padgett Amy Parmater Jeffrey Patton Cassandra Payton Maurice Peoples Antonio Perez Jennifer Phillips oe Phillips John Phillips Jamie Pletcher David Querry Camille Rafa James Ramsey Tricia Rich Andrea Richmond Joseph Riggs Jody Risius Class of ’86 g, }op girl athlete Ithough many awards are given to girl athletes, one award in particular has often been named the biggest award for girls’ athletics. It is given to the girl that the judges feel exhibit the highest standards and abilities both on and off the field. This award, the Catherine Wolf Award, was given to Alice Holdeman. As the number one singles player for the 1986 state runner-up tennis team, Alice has garnered much recogni- tion. She has defeated many opponents, but she says, “‘l was very surprised when | was told | won the award because | only play one school sport.’’ Although Alice does participate only in tennis, this takes up her time all year round. She says, “During my off season | play in many different tour- naments; | also jog to keep in shape.” Not only local judges were impressed with Alice, state Officials also recognized her outstanding qualities when Angela Robinson Carol Robinson Jason Robinson Jeanne Robinson Phillip Rock Christopher Rop Arthur Rozema Mark Rushing Jennifer Russel Kevin Russel 150 Class of ’86 they selected her as the mental attitude winner at the state tournament. Alice plans to attend DePauw University. Although DePauw does not offer athletic scholarships, Alice is looking forward to being part of the college team and to playing tennis.

But did graduation change anything? “Everything,” said Spike Decker, ‘‘where | lived, what | did, even who my friends were.” If it changed so many things, what were the seniors looking for? “More freedom,’ said Julie Stewart, but on a more en- thusiastic line, Robert Mann concluded with ‘‘money, lots and lots of money and maybe a little happiness.” Kurt Zion EXPRESSING THE JOY of being seniors are Jenni Phillips, Johnny Mullins, Julie O'Dell, Chris Saal, Jeff Babcock, Katie McKenna, Kiersten Lindberg, Joe Froshauer, Kevin McArt, and Jocie Phillips.

The revitalization began years ago, but was reinstated by Mayor Perron just recent- ly. Elkhart is putting on a new face, with goals that are both long and short term. At a meeting at Central which 225 peo- ple attended, store owners, residents, and professionals had an opportunity to highlight the downtown development as proposed and drawn by Ball State University architectual students. Since that time, ideas have taken focus. While many can’t understand the detours and traffic, it’s all to help the appearance of the city. ‘“‘The money all came at once,’’ said Michelle Fioritti, the mayor's assistant, ““We have to work by the system. It’s all better in the end anyway and there’s so many neat things to come. We're dealing with necessity right now.”’ There are short term goals to reface buildings and put in new sidewalks, and then there are long term goals which in- clude a river bank project and rest areas at such places as Main St. and Prairie. No one can determine ten years from now, but the future of Elkhart looks bright for future business leaders, store owners, and residents if the younger generations keep the projects and ideas in motion and keep advertising Elkhart.

Many changes took place in- cluding the ‘‘no shorts’ rule and closing the upstairs hallways during lunch. Although some of the students did not appreciate all of the changes, the changes were generally accepted in a responsible way. Sports brightened our scene from beginning to end as the girls’ swim team sparked the 1st major victory as state runner-up at Indy. At the close of the year, the Girls’ Tennis team dominated Sectionals, Regionals, and Semi-State and then went on to bring home another runner-up title. For the first time in Central’s history, a banquet was held to honor academically outstanding students in each grade level of each department, along with the top 20 of each class. ‘THE FLAG was lowered to halt mast for three students of ECHS who died during the school year—Scott Eades, Ben Knopick and Doug Scheyndel. Their deaths reminded us of the value of friendship and how fragile life is. Closing 181 The ; USHERED IN by the junior class of- scene cont inues .. . feet ee s the class of '86 set off to shape their future, changes will continue to happen within the school’s walls. In fact, while students were enjoying their summer break, some 1800 lockers were ripped out of the hallways only to be replaced by new ones. At Central, excellence has been accomplished through change and improvements, as old traditions are kept and new ones are added. AT THE END of the year, Fred Detweiler and Joe Derr join other students on the lawn during noon hour. 182 TheEnd SP) co youee ax - i ae Mee | 2 oe 5 (Sar Eos san angelo, texas Tse HAVE A Pew THINGS TO SAY! ve GREATEST’, 5 Se my Came as' MEMESR THE Grcdtins Spite ec!
