HOW MUCH LONGER? -1-l- asked the student body when they heard of former President Ford's plans to visit Homestead. Ford came and spoke on the upcoming anniversary of the Constitution and his views on recent proposed amendments to it. He also encouraged students to get involved in politics. CPhoto by:B.

Wayne, Indiana H NIUC LUNGERV Good times. They're fondly remembered, and eagerly awaited. They're the types of things that you can't wait for. You ask How Much Longer? and hope the answer is SOON. Everyone thought that way at least once during the year. The football players anticipated the chance to redeem themselves in the playoffs. Unfortunately, they were left wondering How Much Longer? when Culver Military Academy defeated them in the opening round of sectionals- 34-17. During the halftime of the NEIAC championship game, the basketball team was left wondering How Much Longer? it would be until they would win, making them the first team to win four NEIAC titles. The scoreboard read 36-25, Opening in favor of the undefeated, twentieth-ranked Bellmont Braves. The Spartan's question was answered as they rallied to win, 59-53. Students and faculty crammed the hallways and classrooms, wondering How Much Longer? they would have to wait before Focus 2000 would take effect. The school board was supposed to answer on Dec. 16, but it was delayed until February 17. After placing in districts, the Marching Band members went on to regionals, confident that they would advance to state competition. But, when the final judging was announced, 1.05 points seperated the Band from a trip to the CSee AIong on page SJ .1 ' Q - ,., '-I' lin, Q.,-f- , +,'v,g:s- 5 hr ' 64- ' KNEELING IN SlLENCE,L'l' the varsity football team prays after a game.

Douglasj -ff hx!!! xl Iv:- Hoosierdome and a chance at State. Band members sat in disbelief, wondering How Much Longer? until their dreams of State would become reality. Reality then set in as the administration realized the importance of tutoring, research, and make up time. Teachers no longer asked students How Much Longer? until they would make up assignments and tests. A 35- minute rotating period every Thursday ,allowed students to catch up on their work. Teachers also wondered How Much Longer? until their students would get to class on time, as the '86-'87 school year saw an increase in tardiness.At the beginning of the second semester, the administration foughened up, stating that students could not leave class even to go to the bathroom without a formal pass written on a pass form. In Chicago, during the National Journalism convention, people from the newspaper and yearbook staffs waited patiently to hear their standings in the nation, and wondered How Much Longer? it would be until they'd find out. Finally, it was announced. The '86-'87 Spartana newspaper was second in the nation, and the '85-'86 yearbook, When all Is Said and Done was third. The Student Govemment asked How Much Longer? it would be until former President Ford was to visit Homestead and meet with them. His arrival on February 24 satified curiosity and eagerness of the students. Although the year brought changes and disappointments, students were constantly anticipating the good times, and wondering How Much Longer? Opening STUDENT LIFE NDT LONG ENDUG Throughout the year, students awaited activities that broke up the usual school-day routine and helped make school bearable. The fun times were welcomed and they usually were Not Long Enough. S'E'ents came in on Sunday of Homecoming Week to make hallway decorations. The sophomores won the class competition, raising school spirit and asking, How Much Longer? until the game against Bellmont, which the Spartans lost, 28-23. During Christmas Week students donated gifts to the Adopt- a-family program to help support needy families in the area.

The plays, The Night Thoreau Spent in ll and Oliver, as well as Variety '87 allowed students to display their talents on stage. Waiting behind the curtain, they asked, How Much Longer? until their cue. Activities made students' lives different from the everyday routine. They anticipated and enjoyed events. So when students asked, How Much Longer? the fun times would last, the answer was always Not Long Enough. 'Els XX , x 1 1 , I - 1 n . , x ' ' .! 5 Y Nlf ' KN 'Ax Y X v 2 3 ,I ' - A!

This was the main theme of the fall play, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail, which starred junior Matt Butzow as non-conformist Henry Thoreau. The play focused on the night Thoreau was put in jail for not paying his taxes and showed Thoreau's philosophies through flashbacks of his life. It showed how he reacted to authority, as in the school board's negative attitude toward his non-conformist teaching methods, and his reaction to human situations, such as the death of his brother, John Qjunior Mike Musgravej. It was a difficult play to do, said senior Rosalyn Cooperman, who played Thoreau's mother.

Schoppmanj 'You a'ia'n't just go in to watch a play, you Sophomore Carrie S hindeldecker S Fall Play Director Ed Koczergo said that he thought the play was a challenge, but he enjoyed doing it. I don't like doing simple little comedies, he said. Koczergo also stated he thought the cast worked well together. They were wonderful. Probably the best group of people, as far as working together, we've had. Butzow said that one advantage about the play being more difficult than plays usually done by high schools was that he got to know Thoreau well because he was working so hard with the character. You know him inside and out. You are your character. You think like your character, you act like your character, said Butzow. Overall, the play's theme of non-conformity came through to the audience, and the play got what Koczergo called very positive response.

There were dress days for nerds, Hawiaians, and for college sweatshirts. Senior Katie Griest said, It was neat to be able to dress up each day of the week. Students wore powderpuff uniforms, the color assigned to the class, and sunglasses, hats, and blue and gold, Streamers and balloons filled the halls to depict the different seasons. The seniors showed winter with evergreens, snowflakes, and snowballs, while the freshman got into the Halloween spirit. The juniors filled their hall with the sunny bodies of summer, and the sophomores decorated with the flowers of spring when they came out victorious in this competition. Other planned activities for the students included the banana split eatingvcontest, the tugzof-war, junior- -:- -1 0 ,J senior powderpuff game, bonfire, a pep session and Homecoming picnic in the circle drive. The final days of the week brought the Homecoming game in which the Spartans played Bellmont, and the crowning of Betsy Neufer as Homecoming queen. I was surprised. I was scared when they first announced the names, then, I couldn't believe it was me. I didn't think I would get it. said Neufer. The sophomores came out victorious in the class competition, and sophomore class President Jennie Stafford accepted the spirit award in front of the students and gave the Homestead spirit bell a ring. The week of excitement ended with the Spartan defeat to Belhnont 23- 28 on a rain drenched field. The falling of streamers and deflated balloons completed the week as the janitors began to clean up the halls.

As they came into the school they shook the snow from their hair and clothes. Dressed in green and red, everyone hurried to their class as the last bell rang for first period. The doors were decorated with lights, colored bulbs and other items that represent the Christmas season. The decorating contest was between each first period class for a S50 first prize to go to their favorite charity. The prize was presented to Ruth Aiello's class for their creativity. The Adopt-a-family program found great success in the third period classes. All the classes that participated helped the needy families in the area celebrate Christmas. Seniors Kathy Frieburger and Jenny Potish were in charge of the program. The Adopt-a-family program helped the people in Allen County that were less fortunate than the students at Homestead, DELIVERING PRESENTS ' commented Potish. As a break from the work, there was a party given on Thursday for the students in each fifth period class. Each student was allowed to order a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut and a can of pop from the school as their lunch. There was a problem in the delivery of the pizza which caused many growling stomaches and the period to be lengthened thirty extra minutes. By the time that I got my pizza the crust was soggy, stated sophomore Aaron Couch. To make up for the delay Terry Ald, the manager of Pizza Hut, apologized over the intercom for all the troubles caused, and also donated 3.50 for every pizza the Honor Society sold. After the final bell rang the students hurried through the cold to their cars to start a warm Christmas season.

Waldmanj Environmental Trip N WH experience Normally students get their education in the usual classroom setting. But occasionally they get the chance to leam in a special way, through first hand experience. It was the environmental science students that got this chance. The Environmental trip to West Virginia, an annual event at Homestead, gave students the opportunity to experience the real outdoors on a five day hiking and camping trip taken over fall break. There was no electricity, no bathrooms, no telephones to call for help in case of trouble, and no one for miles around. This left the group on its own with teacher Doug Waldman to lead the way. You have to be a teamg you have to help each other. It's a satisfying feeling when you get done, said sophomore Anne Hutsell. The trip taught students about hiking, setting up their own tents, cooking with freeze-dried food and ll. BER FEQEE portable stoves, as well as many other outdoor survival skills. It gives you an insight on backpacking, said sophomre Eric Amson. 4 Being in a wildemess situation was a new experience for many of the students who had never been camping, backpacking or gone hiking before. It's kind of hard at first, but once they get used to it, it's a lot of fun, said sophomore Marc Carney. It's a shock. You have to depend on yourself a lot, said Hutsell. Overall, the trip taught students a lot. It gave them the chance to experience outdoor life in many ways and have fun while learning. Hutsell summed it up by saying: If you do get a chance to go, do, because it's great! Tracy Jensen- Managing Editor -221 in - J t 5 ' if 5 survival.

Traditionally, the Seniors have won, and traditionally, the Juniors have complained of cheating. This year was no exception. The Seniors won, 14-7, and the Juniors cried foul play. I think they played dirty, said junior Debbie Minnear. Fellow junior Holly Risk added that, Senior cheating is a tradition, But I think that they overdid it just a bit. The Seniors disagreed, I don't think that we did anymore than they did, said senior Angie Aiello. The fact there was a Junior Hit List supported the Juniors' belief the Seniors were playing dirty. Senior Kelly Corya admitted that there was a list, but it was just used to scare them. Aiello said that the entire team was not out to play dirty. It was certain people .,.plf' after certain people. Because of the claims of foul play, the Juniors still said that they won the game. We knew the Seniors had some tricks up their sleeves. They were very intent on having us lose, but we really won, said junior Heather Relue. When speaking of next year, some Juniors had ideas on their strategy already. Win or lose, we'll play fair, said Junior Stephanie Forrest. The Seniors are convinced that this year's Juniors will win next year. They'll be really good next year, said Aiello. Corya agreed, They'll be tough. Even though doubts of fair play steamed up the Juniors, all was forgotten in a few days, and the Juniors turned their thoughts to their Senior year. We're going to do it next year, said Minniear. aurccn Condron- Editor-in-chief 'x THE CLASS OF '87 RULES', . said senior powderpuff cheerleader, Mike Tharp.

The tension in the audience grew with curiosity, as the stomaches of the performers grew tight backstage The lights dimmed as an evening of dancing, acting, and singing was about to begin. Out of the fifty-seven students that participated in the variety show, there were a total of twenty-one different acts. Although they did not get to spend much time up on stage, it seemed to be well worth the effort. Our band practiced at least twice a week for about two months, said junior Dave Wendell. Even though some acts did not spend much time on preparation the quality of their performance did not suffer. We really pulled it all together at the last minute, but I really enjoyed it, stated sophomore Tracy Jensen. The minutes on stage were timely but the time that the perfomiers spent off stage seemed to be endless. REHEARSAL MADE IT .ll-l better.

Senior Todd Samara Variety Show The performers enjoyed themselves both on and off stage. It was great how everyone really got along, said sophomore Leslie Shimkus. Wendell seemed to agree, I thought it was a lot of fun, and we are definately going to do it again next year. Besides the butterflies in the stomaches, the audience didn't cause the performers any problems. It was the pure thrill of being up on stage in front of a critical audience that made me want to perform in the first place, replied Wendell. There were some students that found themselves in two acts. Being in two acts gave me a chance to use two different styles of acting, said Jensen. The auditorium filled with clapping as the last act departed from the stage. The relief of their performance being done allowed the students to wipe the sweat from their brow, and plan for the following year. Kelly Corya- Student Life Writer 1 4 f i X erm' ' B fs?

That was a feeling many of the cast could relate to as they nervously awaited their cue for their perfomance in drama director Ed Kozcergo's classroom 101. Although the cast might have had nervous feelings, room 101 also held a lot of memories in preparation for the spring musical Oliver. The performance took place on May 1, 2, 8, 9 at 8:00 p.m. Oliver is about the adventures of a little boy in 19th century England. He goes from being in an orphanage to working in a funeral parlor to joining a band of young thieves. After being arrested for pickpocketing, Oliver gets returned to the boys' home where he later leams that he has indeed, a family. The Oliver cast rehearsed five days a week and they usually lasted about two and a half hours. Though rehearsals were long and tiresome, hearing the applause and feeling the excitement of being on stage 1 Q made it all worthwhile, said sophomore Jennifer Smith who played widow Comey. Although the show would be lacking without a director, Koczergo liked the kids to know that it was their performance. They fthe castj have a sense of realizing that it is their show, in their hands, and what they do with it is their responsibility, said Koczergo. Being together every night after school for rehearsals that last hours can make the cast grow closer to each other. Oliver was not just another musical, it was a bond between the people involved with it, said sophomore Shadd Folk who was a member of the chorus. After the musical was over, the cast retumed to room 101 with all the fears felt previously diminished. They took off their roles with their costumes and held within them a bonded memory.

The couples were in high spirits ready to take on the thirty hours of dancing. People came to see the couples as they danced to the music and the lights of the dance marathon to raise money for the Homesteadlwoodside athletic booster club. The money raised is to be used to buy new uniforms and sports equipment. A majority of time money will be used to purchase a video system, said athletic director Tom Baker. The system will include an ultravision 2000CR video projector, a VHS analyzer and a video recorder and accessories. The total amount of money raised totaled S22,000.

The annual marathon got started Friday, February the 27th at 6 o'c1ock and lasted until Saturday night at midnight. There were contests for the best dressed features, blue and gold, imitating sports personalities, and best beach attire. The dancers had a 10 minute break every hour and two shower breaks. A surprise came when an anoynomous person pledged S500 to every senior couple. As the last few hours rolled around the lights seemed fuzzy and blurred to the dancers who had managed to make it through the 30 hours. The dancers were excited to have made it through the long hours. Thoughts of sleep, food, and clean clothes ran through their minds as they danced to the last song.

Or, maybe just a sportjacket and a skirt with a corsage. Although many couples had contrasting attires, the motive remained the same-to have fun. The big night was Saturday, February 21, from 8:00-11:30 p.m. It was at Club Olympia and sponsored by seniorstudent government members along with senior class advisors Stanley Crum and Linda Walker. Tickets were ten dollars per couple. Unlike other years, this was the first senior class to make a profit. Total earnings were S150. The money goes to specific projects. Any left over goes to future class reunions, said senior Jenny Potish. Even though the dance offered punch and individual desserts, many students took their dates to dinner. Before the dance we went out to eat-at the Great Wall, said senior Brad Heiser. Another option that many students chose was dinner at a dates house. According to sophomore Cindy Hopper, everyones QQ taste in music was fulfilled. There was a DJ who played records-all types of music, said Hopper. Although many of the students had an entertaining time, a lot of them agreed that it would have been better with more space. The room was a little too small, said freshman Angie Stoppenhagen. As the night wore on, the semi-formal atmosphere changed. Five students were caught by assistant principal Ike Doll either drinking, or in the presence of alcoholic beverages. We were suspended and banned from extracurricular activities for the rest of the year.

That was true for some, but for others it was quite a different story. Many girls went without a date. Going stag was easier because you didn't have to worry about your date getting mad because you talked to another person or danced with them. I think I had a better time than if I would have gone with a guy, junior Sarah Hicks commented. There were a few mishaps that will never be forgotten, according to junior Tricia Burke. A lot of people went in limousines but ours was late. We had to wait forever, Burke commented. There were some special moments that will always be remembered, according to juniors Robynn Hohert and Mike Musgrave, the prom queen and king.

The after prom party at the Holiday Inn downtown had casinos, music, dancing, food and a pool for swimming from one until four in the moming. Some thought that the after prom party was even more fun than the prom. After prom was a lot better than prom itself. There was a lot more to do, explained sophomore Angela Sheetz. Fellow sophomore Cindy Hopper thought the same thing. The whole atmosphere of after prom was more fun. With the colors as blue and silver and the theme of Heaven in Your Eyes, the prom seemed enjoyable and a fun night for everyone who participated.

The words of Bon Jovi's song, Never Say Goodbye, died down, and the graduating seniors sat on the stage of the Follinger theatre holding their candles, waiting to tum their tassles. The Senior slide show, with the theme Never Say Goodbye, was a main part of the graduation ceremony, showing past fun times and activities of many of the seniors who donated slides from as far back as gradeschool. Many of the seniors thought that the theme and the song were exceptionally fitting for their class. People didn't want to say 'goodbye' .... Most of the people wanted it to last, no matter how bad it was at times, said senior graduate Stan Clark.

Yarnelle was portraying poet Emily Dickenson in a one-act play entitled The Belle of Amhurst, a presentation for English and Drama students attempting to show Dickenson's life and writing frorri her point of view. Programs like this offered a variety of learning activities to the English department. English offered a lot to students, in many different ways. Department head Paul Felten summed up English as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. According to Felten, with the exception of the specialty classes, the department tried to include all of the above in their Curriculums. But English offered much more than just basics. A variety of specialty classes were offered, involving reading, speech, and journalism classes.

The English department has changed over the years, expanding as four years became required. An English 12 and an Alpha English class for freshmen was added to the schedule. Even though the English 12 was added, Felten commented, The vast majority already take four years of English. English classes offered a lotto students, especially those who were college-bound. So much of what kids do in college is written work, and if they have a good basis, then they can move on, stated teacher Pat Krueger. The department offered a variety of skills and activities in its currriculum. The performance by Yarnelle was one example of how variety was added to a normal day.

They leamed all they could about the country and then went down to Indianapolis to meet with other countries to write proposals for cures to problems their country had The General Session which opened the project was in April Students had already made a flag of their country and a collage. Their Spanish skills were tested in the opening and closing sessions which were totally in Spanish In fact everything was in Spanish but the open debate where the different schools tried to work out their problems. An awards ceremony was given at the end of the day and all the students received certificates for their participation. An award was given for the best delegation based on the schools issues best outfit and most use of Spanish. Students who went had different reasons for going Its a chance to test your Spanish fluency and to meet other Spanish students from your state said junior Andrea Baden.

Many students would be able to communicate with their foreign helper because they have taken advantage of the opportunity to learn a foreign language. A variety of languages such as Spanish, French, Latin, and German are offered in the foreign language department. According to Spanish teacher Fanni Kozolchyk, Homestead's foreign language department is very strong compared to others. Latin teacher Mary Backofen agreed and said that the languages offered here at Homestead are ones which can be most beneficial to students. Many teachers feel that learning a foreign language can be very beneficial later in life. It is a tool which can be applied to many aspects, said Backofen. Kozolchyk agreed that knowing a foreign language can be good because It exposes sa.-.1 . 4 I Reasons for taking a foreign language varied among students.

Any student can learn a foreign language Backofen said. The key is commitment. Long hours of study and hardwork are required, so if someone were to find themselves stranded in a foreign country, communicating will not be a problem and those long hours of study just may have been worth it. gTracy Kuhn- Academics Editor mama-we, . 5. my 1' 'f Y .

The answer for many was taking a business course. Homestead offered many courses in the business department. Among them were accounting, keyboarding, CO-OP, shorthand, notetaking, and study skills. These courses helped prepare many students for the future and many graduates recommended that students take them before they graduate. Jana Hughes, one of the business teachers, said, lt's a good opportunity for the students because it gives them a chance to work with complex equipment that they might not get a chance to work on before a job. Hughes was excited about the business department and the students in it. She commented, The kids are enthusiastic and make the classes interesting.

Hinsch felt taking a business course was worthwhile and that it was worth the little extra cffort it took to keep up with the class. Business courses were not just all work. Included were pizza parties, rock-a-thons, and contests that many business students competed in to see who was top in the local,. district, state and national categories. The answer for many students' needs was simply taking a business course. It allowed the students to get hands on experience and training for skills that might be necessary for occupations later on in their lives. hurl Jost- WritcrlPhotographcr g May: Accounting classes were busy with practice sets, and the Career Management Class jinished up their individual projects. -1 g1n 'I .

The old math books were either sold or put aside for the new books. Every six years the state adopts new and updated math books, usually adopting a new edition from the same company. Teacher Neal McKeeman, head of the math department, explained what he liked most about the new books: I particularly liked the fact that they have more emphasis on problem solving and also the computer exercises for those who liked to practice their homework on a computer. Students, such as senior Kathy Weaver, liked the new books better than the old ones for reasons other than McKeeman. They have much more detailed examples. I find the explanations much easier to understand. Another new aspect of Homestead's math department was the addition of three new classes: A.P. Calculus, College Algebra, and General Math II. The A.P. 1 ll Wi ' tha . Calculus class was really just a name AT ,N alculating 4? change that enabled students to take the advanced placement test in the spring. Although it was a hard class, I heard from former students that it helped a lot with college calculus, said senior Christy Eickhoff. The College Algebra class was offered for those students who wanted to complete more math but weren't ready or didn't want to take calculus or trigonometry. The class was a general review of advanced algebra and the basics of calculus. The third new math class was General Math II, a reinforcement of general math, explained McKeeman. Since two years of math was required by the state this class was good for the students who needed another year of math. All in all, the classes were run the same. Students still fidgeted, added, subtracted, divided and multiplied in all levels of math.

Not only were the students able to get their minds off of the basics, they were able to develop some of their personal talents, through Photography, Film Making, art classes and of course, drama. Drama was one of the more popular courses. Sophomore Andrea Williams said the main reason she took drama was because, I think drama is fun. She also admitted besides being fun, It gets my confidence up, and helps me when speaking in front of a group. The drama classes did a variety of things such as improvisations, writing and performing their own plays, and they also studied drama history. Photography and Film Making were two of the newer classes. The Film Making class was able to make a music video and a feature film. Even though the class was short on equipment this year, Senior Paul Hiatt said, You still get to do a lot.

Art classes were another favorite. Teacher Kathleen Lewton said no one has to be a good artist to take an art class. It's like a progressiong Art 1 leads to other things. The classes build upon each other. Sophomore Mark Wiehe said, I'm not a good artist, but I still like the class. We do some pretty fun things. Sophomore Anne Hutsell said she took art because I like to draw, and I figure I should be able to do one thing in school I enjoy. Besides the regular art classes, Ceramics and Pottery classes were also offered Besides getting a break from the basics, the Fine Arts department gave many students a variety of classes to choose from and a chance to find new interests. In addition, students were able to develop some of their own personal talents.

Most of the Home Economics classes were taught by Harriet Deterling. Foods and Nutrition, Spartan Singles, and Adult Living were three of the most popular, according to Deterling. Skills such as cooking a dinner or breakfast, to repairing a tear in a shirt were taught. Even personal topics such as helping someone get through a rough time in their life was discussed. Topics such as these were discussed in both textbook and open discussion form. Students also learned through hands-on experience, by practicing the exercises they read about in the text or the topics discussed in class.

They teach you things that you can really use, said junior Holly Risk. Freshman Kerry Brock said she took the class because, I wanted to get more cooking experience. Freshman Tina Prather had a different look, It's something from your boring, everyday classes. It's fun!.

Students need four science credits to graduate, but Biology teacher Tom Glanders said that getting more than the required amount of credits could be helpful because of the technological society we live in now. Biology was the required science for freshmen. Teacher Jay Hammel said that Biology is an important science at Homestead. It is the first lab and entry science for freshmen, said Hammel. After taking Biology, students had a choice in what sciences, if any, they could take. Zoology was a popular elective for sophomores. Sophomore Scott Lindenburg said he took Zoology because, I wanted to get experience with a lab science for college. Sophomore Leslie Pllughaupt said, I like to disect animals rather than work with chemicals. wasn't for them and chose Chemistry. Sophomore Leslie Brandt said, I was more interested in chemicals instead of animals. Sophomore Jon Pojak said, I wanted to get an over-all aspect of the world of science. Environmental Science was another elective. Teacher Amy Gates said that Environmental Science was helpful because of the hands-on experience. You do a lot of hands-on work. It's better to leam by doing than from a book. For the more advanced science students physics was an elective. Teacher Stan Crum said, No matter what anyone does, they should take physics. It relates to about everything. Senior Jim Kirkoff said, It's interesting, and it will also help me with my engineering career.

One area in which students got an early start on their profession was in industrial arts. Everything from making tables and chairs, to rebuilding an engine and lifting the suspension of a car, were experienced by students. Many students haven't considered one of these courses, and many took advantage of them. For those who were interested in working with their hands as a profession, they could start early at school and in some situations, they could get paid for their services. Students could also take classes such as woods, drafting, and consumer maintenance. As students strengthened their knowledge in their lield, they could market anything from a wooden bowl to an oak rocking chair. Advice and some helpful tips on how to clean and prime a carborator were given. While valuable skills that interested a specific person were learned, students were able to get hands on training.

Lyons commented, It's a good leaming experience for the students, it gives them more confidence in what they're doing. Some students took that approach a little further. Students took their knowledge and experience into the real world. It's a good way to make some money while doing something that you like and can get credit for, said senior J.B. Healy. Spaulding commented, It's a good feeling to see something that you have made in practical use like a table or a chair.

Dept., announced his retirement for the end of this year. As for Denise Geller, first year Homestead teacher, it will be a while before her retirement. Some of these teachers have been waiting for their chance to stand in front of their own class. Some of them have been waiting to get out of their classes. Some ofthe new teachers have taught at other schools before. Some of the older teachers have taught at Homestead High School their entire career Wearly left after a 33 year career. Nineteen of those 33 years, Wearly taught at Homestead. He has taught Woods, Metals, and Drafting. Seeing and helping young minds grow is one of the things I will miss, said Wearly. Wearly has many things in mind to occupy his time after he leaves. One of the thing he plans to do is to travel to places he has never had the chance to see. After he gets back, he has a workshop he is going to work on. I will be glad to get away from the new mickey mouse rules they tacked on these past years, stated Geller, 13-year Home Economics teacher, spent her first year of teaching at Homestead High School. She is qualified to teach reading, but she prefers Home Economics. It was a challenge adjusting to a new school, meeting new students and staff. I like Homestead and the community, said Geller. Pat Teagarden, history teacher, has completed his second year at Homestead. He taught World History and US History. Teagarden enjoyed both subjects. He also taught two classes at Woodside Middle School. I feel fortunate to teach at Southwest Allen, it is a growing community. I like the students and the staff, commented Teagarden. Senior Scott Waldman said, I will miss some of the teachers leaving. Even though some are leaving, new teachers gained experience by watchi-ng the more experienced Mike Norman- Index Editor June: All teachers old and new looked foward to the last day of school and either the end ofa long career or the beginning ofa new one.

Coming down the road you see a car with a large yellow sign on top. The sign says drivers education. This was just one of the classes offered by the physical education department besides the required courses of health and gym 9 84 10. Advanced gym was offered to all students who had taken health and wished to extend their knowledge of the human body. This class explored the functions of the body which allowed students to gain insight on their bodies and how they operate. Specialized P.E. was offered to all students who had completed their two required semesters of basic gym. This course dealt with developing the students balance and coordination. The course also taught students conditioning exercises. Having completed health, Substance abuse was another elective offered. The class dealt with controlled substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. The class tried to prevent student abuse of these substances by showing the students the BASKETBALL DRILLS ii' helped kccp the freshmen gym class in shape as the students dribbled the balls up the court. iPhoto by: L. Jostl Physical Education side effects and damage these substances may cause. Advanced P.E. was offered again only to students who had finished the two required semesters of gym. This course was much the same as basic P.E., the difference being Advanced classes didn't have as many skill days. Basic P.E. and health were required by state law in order to graduate from high school. The reason these classes are required is to teach students the importance of exercise and good health. Exersice was taught in the gym classes while the latter part was taught in health. Drivers Education was offered to students who wished to receive a waver on their permit. The waver allowed a person to recieve their license one month past their sixteenth birthday without having to take a driving test. As the car with the large yellow sign passes by, students are reminded of just another aspect of the health department.

The Spartans then won their next four games in a row. According to Cavacini the team had three major goals. The number one goal was to win conference. The second goal was to be as successful as we can and the third goal was to win sectionals explained Cavacini. The Spartans achieved the first two goals but fell short of the third goal They lost their first game of the sectionals to Culver Military Academy 17 -32 Cavacini felt that they could beat Culver and advance futher in the sectionals We knew tnat they were good so we knew that it was going to b a tough game Cavacini said Senior noseguard Phil Durnell was pretty pleased with the season except for the fact that thev did not win a play-off game Durnell added, 'We were ranked low in the NEIAC and we -ended up winning it, The quarterback found an open man and completed the pass as the man ran for a twenty-four yard touchdown.

Evcntutlly the gatne vtent into overtime and the Spartans emerged victoriously 13-7 over the New Haven Bulldogs. The reserve football team finished their season with an 8-O record including three shut-outs. In fact the Spartans outscored their opponents 150-46. One reason the team was so successful was because Everybody including the juniors took it seriously said junior Jon Aichele. Sophomore Scott Lindenburg times reserve players who arent varsity lettermen overlook the importance of reserve games. Coa h Don Weaver said a major part of the teams success was t eir determination during the fourth quarter. They went out there and played really hard said Coach Weaver. Sophomore Brett Thomas said Part of the reason we won is because we just went out there ad had fun. Unlike last years freshman team this years freshman team had no injuries to overcome. Our biggest problem this year was being low in numbers. We only had twenty players said Coach Keith Potter. The freshmen te tm ended their season with t4-4 record. Although they ended with four loses the team never lost a g une by more than a touchdown. They also won every home game. Quarterback ind Co-captain Jason Gerig said We just lot because our spirit was lovt. Not exeryone played their best tt the same time. Coach Potter tgreed and s id There are in my great individutl players they just nee to learn to work together. Each team enjoyed success in different ways.

Watching a cross-country meet may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but the anxiety that the runners get is unexpressable. It's too bad more people dont get involved with it, commented Reynol Trevino. Many cross-country run- ners continued their desire to run through the year and put their efforts towards the spring's track season. It's a good way to keep fit, said Roovers. Juniors Jeff Paxton, Chad Inman, Reynol Trevino, Tom Gifford, and Dan Roovers are expected to lead the varsity cross-country team next year along with what is left of this year's varsity after graduation.

Coach McKeeman Spartans take NEIAC tourney, third best SGBSOI1 GVEY QCWXQO . with a 18-5 record, and winning the first game of the Huntington 'sectional to Whites Institute, 91-23,was 5' 'wvugk the way the Spartans closed their season. Although the year again ended at the Huntington Sectional, the Spartans were not disappointed with the season. With the 18-5 record, Iwas happy with the season. It's the third best basketball reacord in the schools history, said coach Neal McKeeman. Beating Bellmont in the conference tournmament championships was the high point for all of the team members and the coach. Beating Bellmont was special after losing to them once before during their season, said McKeeman. I liked the Bellmont game because they were undefeated and ranked in state, added senior Adam Probst. The experience that retumed this year helped the team in reaching their goals. Although the team is losing five senior players, McKeeman is positive about the returning players. There is a lot of returning experience coming back, and many good underclassmen, said coach McKeeman. Even with the many outstanding players, the team still worked together. Senior Tim Frey ended the season the leading scorer. Even though I didn't have a very good season, my personal goal was to be the teams leading rebounder, said junior Matt Krueger. Krueger found at the end of the season that he had reached his goal. However the team did not reach all of their goals. Our goal was to win conference, the conference tournament, and sectionals. We only made 1-3 of our goals, stated Krueger. Overall, I was pleased that the team lived up to what we were expected to, added Krueger as he looked back on the entire season.

The team had four sophomores starting for them at one point during the season. I think the next two years will be very successful, considering there were four starting sophomores and junior. said sophomore Leslie Brandt. The teams record was 6-13 overall. With this record they made it to the tinals of the sectional tournament. They got there by defeating Carroll and then advancing to face Columbia City in the championship game. Columbia City had a very tough team, we played well but were still no match for them, said sophomore Tracy Kuhn. The Eagles U -- If JA' defeated the Spartans 40-78. Most of the players agreed that there was not a lot of crowd support. Hardly anyone went to the games. Which contributed to their losing season. Crowd support is one of the major factors in home games. Usually the only people at the games were parents of the players and maybe a few friends. With a record of 6-13 the girls didn't have many high points but one of the major ones was Andrea Williams. Williams played a big part in the team as she broke the sophomore scoring record this season with 268 points. Williams also made first team all-conference along with Chris Sprandel's honorable mention. As the clock ran out the Spartans knew they had a tough season but they realize that next year they can get their revenge.

Coach Weaver said, Emphasis was placed on doing well in conference and winning sectional. We finished a disappointing seventh in conference but came back to place a solid second in the sectional. The team finished their regular season with a winning record of 6-4. I think we did rather well this season for how young we were, commented junior Todd Egts. The more we wrestle the more we improved. I also felt that everyone needed to get on a supervised weightlifting program in the off-season. These two improvements would strengthen the team, Weaver said. I will be wrestling in A.A.U. meets this summer along with working out and lifting weights on a regular basis. I'm going to try to get more guys to go too, added freshman Mark Bruner. Along with the team goals, junior Todd Egts set goals of his own. I wanted to place in the top four in every toumament. I placed fourth at Wawasee, first at New Haven, first at Concordia, first in sectionals, and third in regionals. I wanted to go on to state but didn't make it this year, said Egts.

PORTS STORY We had a very good year at 15-4, we won both tourneys, and had very good players. Coach Lines Seasons go in opposite direction as boys' win 15, girls' 4 uf was the magic number for the Freshman Basket- ball teams as the boys lost four games and the girls, won four games. The boys had many strong points. The team was big and had a deep bench. This aided in free throw percentage, and other such stats. I thought we had a lot of talent but we didn't always use it in the right way, said frosh Jason Gerig. Most of all they worked together and had a lot of team spirit. Most of the time we played like a team. We worked together and that is what helped us to have a winning season, said frosh Joe Wolfcale. They won the Manchester toumament along with the Columbia City toumament, as these were the only toumaments participated in. The girls team had only four wins and ended their season with a record of 4-11. Lack of team work was a major problem for the lady 4 Spartans. The offense was sluggish and they didn't shoot a lot. Their defense was tough. They usually held their opponents to 20-30 points a game. Defense was the thing stressed most in practices. The defense was tight and they also had a good press which was used many times. Coach Bonnie Bonnelli was well liked by the teammates as frosh Peggy Carson added, She played with us a lot and she knew a lot about basketball.

They ended their season with a 5-9 record. The wrestlers joined the team for their own reasons. I know there is no one there to help me win, so I have to do it myself, stated Sophmore Kevin Goodman. Anthony Volgi reason for joining the team was for the challenge, competition, and winning. Sophmore Ken Tellas has been wrestling for two years, his first in eighth grade and now at Homestead. I joined the team to let my frustrations out and I like beating up on other people, answered Ken for his reason to join. The reserve wrestlers team is consisted of 25 wrestlers. Cheering the wrestlers were three mat maids who were Michelle Becker, Kim Mallo, and Tisha Weikart. Also cheering the wrestlers was Janie Na le, stat keeper. As head coach, weaver has coached varsity three years and reserve one year. Weaver decided to coach wrestling because it is an individual sport and a good way to see individuals find success. It's been an interesting year with broken bones to disciplanary action to athletes being 112 pound over weight, Don Weaver. Helping Weaver was Homestead graduate Neal Kissel. At the begining of the season the wrestlers had hoped to finish in one of the top spots in the conference tournament. They also hoped to be the first team to bring home a trophy. While the wrestlers didn't bring home the trophy, they hope to overcome their lack of experience and bring a trophy home next year.

Coach Wiant Gymnasts make state fifth year in a row, place fourth the judges look on sophomore Irene Hattop does her floor routine, and gets a 9.00. The Varsity gymnastics team had been to the state meet for five years running, and two since the departure of such stand outs as Ericka Couch and Jill Beauchamp. The team has improved each year finishing fourth in '87. This year we knew what it was like, the equipment, and the competition, said sophomore Julie Rudd. We were more familiar with the surroundings, added sophomore Julie Heiges. The team had to go through a very tough sectional, according to Heiges. Some of the top teams in the state were at the Homestead Sectionals, includingg Concordia, North Side, and Northrop. We were happy just to get through sectionals, stated Heiges. The state meet was filled with several excellent gymnasts, besides the Homestead gymnasts, from the surrounding area. Carol from Concordia, and several freshman from throughout the state. The Spartans were led by two prominate sophomores gymnasts, Irene Hattop, and Heiges, according to several of the team members. We've all been strong throughout the year and haven't had any trouble with any injuries, said sophomore Jenny Goodman, about the success of the team. According to Heiges, next years team may have a few helpful additions. Including freshman Melissa Weaver and sophomore Heather DeLong. The new girls and the veterans should help put the team back to number o n e i n th e state, and once again dominate the state meet.

The teammates all credit being close as part of their success. The team unity keeps us going, stated sophomore Cathy Castaldi. We have so much depth, we have a lot of girls that can do a lot of things well, added sophomore Heather DeLong. The reserve gymnastics team finished with a 10-1 record. The team was led by junior Tabitha Tholen and sophomore Heather DeLong. Heather works hard at what she does and always has a positive attitude, said Nunn. CGymnasticsJ is something you can do for fun or for a serious goal in life, said DeLong. The reserves were coached by Beth Wiantq a physical education teacher, and several student managers, sophomores Leslie Shimkus, 'Sie L Krista Jenkins, Chris Forbing. According to Shimkus the girls also had to tr y a n d te a c h themselves, and had to have the determination, and the will to try the new routines and risk injuries to improve their performances, said Shimkus. The girls all enjoy gymnastics, but for different reasons. Most enjoyed the competition against other schools. There are some good 8th graders coming to Homestead next year, that will hopefully increase the reserves overall scores, said Weaver about next years' reserve team. The team used friendship and discipline to strive for the highest quality and ability they could achieve.

Many of the players thought the game against Wabash was their biggest win. Trent Karshner has been playing baseball for nine years. He likes the challenge of baseball and that it is a fun team sport. It started out slow, but it was a fun year, said Karshner. As a freshmen, Karshner, although it would be an honor to be on varsity, felt good to be on reserve. Sophomore Jon Pojak would rather be playing on varsity than on reserve. He has been playing baseball for ten years. Pojak enjoys the competition of baseball. Pojak thought their biggest win was against Dwenger I think our teamwork and ability helped us overcome many opponents, said Pojak. Mike Starnes liked the challenge of hitting the ball.

Leader of the team for the fifth year, Keith Potter coached the reserves. He likes baseball because there is no clock and it takes three strikes for the player to either hit the ball or to miss and retire to the bench. Coach Potter was pleased with the teams record of 13-4. Potter also thought their biggest win was against Bishop Dwenger, who had the best season record. We set a record for the most wins ever by a Homesteads Reserve Baseball team, and it gives us a goal to shoot for, for next year, said Coach Potter. Mike Norman- lndcx Editor 4 13-4-ll HHS R.

It's the wind up-- and there it goes! What a hit! .L , l Sound familiar? For the varsity softball team it does. Hitting was one of our strong points, especially toward the end of the season, explained sophomore Andrea Williams. Even with hitting as their strong point it wasn't enough to pull the team into a winning season. They ended with eight wins and twelve losses. Although they won their first game things went downhill until their win against Bellmont. We had more potential than we showed. The highlight of our season was beating Belhnont. They were ranked fifth in the state and we took the conference title away from them, commented sophomore Leslie Brandt. Things were a bit of a different story from the coach's point of view. Everyone wanted to win our game against Elmhurst because it was their former coach. Everyone was really psyched up and full of spirit, Coach Davis said. Being a first year coach at Homestead was something to . rg ...L get use to For me personally it was different than I expected. I was a slow pitch coach before but never for a fast pitch team. It took a lot of time at the beginning but I got used to it and really enjoyed it. A couple of girls returned from last year and really had some good ideas. That helped a lot, explained Coach Erin Davis. Injuries also played an important part in the season. There were a lot of on and off injuries in the infield so there were quite a few people being changed around. This caused a lot of inexperience for the players To some hitting was a strength and defense was something they needed to work on. Junior Kindra Marra seemed to summerize their season in just a few words, it could have gone better, but there were a lot of injuries. Over all it went well. Leslie Rstom- Staff Writcr 'QM 1-G.

W JT Golfers don't reach potential g place fifth in N.E.l.A.C. iw coming off a number of wins, the varsity golf team was preparing themselves for the NEIAC conference tourney, . thinking they had a good chance of winning. As the day went on, it became apparent that the golfers were not playing up to their full potential. Unfortunately, they had to settle for a fifth place finish. Junior Justin Rickard explained, We didn't play near as well as usual. It just wasn't our day. The team competed in the Columbus North Invitational in April, and placed fifth. After that, the team's season improved until conference. Even though the loss at conference was disappointing, the team was happy with their third place finish at sectionals, allowing them to advance to regional competition. At regionals, the number one and two ranked teams in the state were there. One of the reasons the team was able to advance in sectionals was because of the talent of the younger players. When a varsity player was not able to play, many lla-oil reserve players were competitive in varstiy play. The strongest point of our team was that the reserves were able to fill in, explained Rickard. Even though the team had many younger players, three lettermen returned, Rickard, Gregg Cooper, and Eiic Von Burg. Along with them the team had a new member, Jason Hofius, who moved here from Huntington North. Hotius and Cooper were our toughest players, commented Rickard. The varsity golf team began their season with success, and goals of winning conference, but then they had to f a c e th e i r disappointing finish at conference. But with the young talent and past varsity experience, the team was able to continue their success, and shoot their way out of sectionals into regional competition.

Joe had good experience to lead the team said Owen Jason was only a freshman and played some varsity and led the reserve team to a season with only one loss said freshman Dan Patane.

The girl s varsity golf team started with a new coach and a whole new program of practice With the new coach we were able to pull together as a team which was something we hadnt been able to do for awhile said senior Kim Brissey They spent time working on individual needs a well as team needs Their practices varied from working on different skills, to playing practice rounds. The team was dedicated and worked well together. They supported each other and helped offered advice to help the team overall The team was more organized more disciplines and had their minds on what they needed to do said coach Tom Stephenson The varsity team was consistent throughout the season ard they shot low They had a few slumps but they overcame them in major competition said Stephenson.

As soon as it was shot, he was .2 'ff off and after his lap he passed the baton to the next runner. This was just one of the events in boys varsity track. The three main goals of the boys varsity track team were going undefeated in regular season, winning conference and winning sectionals which hasn't been won by Homestead since 1979. At regionals, the team placed seventh and Will Luzar, the mile relay team and Greg Hart went on to state competition. Freshman Greg Hart had his own goals. My main goals were to be on varsity and to break all of the school records in discus and shotput, explained Hart. Hart also ran in the 400m relay and the 800m relay. The team was also ranked in state all season and reached as high as 16th. One major highlight of the season was being ranked in state all season, said junior Eric Shwartz. According to Shenfeld, one I t- . . of the lowpoints of the season was their meet against Elmhurst. We almost didn't win. It was a waking-up point for the team, explained Shenfeld. The team had a lot of spirit and got along well. A lot of the spirit had to do with the captains. At the meets they were serious but were also relaxed. They led the tearnin songs and had fun after the meets, said Coach Dick Shenfeld. Hart described the bus rides as a lot of fun. We sang songs, especially the 'cookie jar' song. The spirit helped in their winning season. As the last baton was passed, the relay team finished the race and placed fifth in the North Side relays. This was just one of the highlights of an undefeated season. Christy Nunn- Organizations Editor THROWING the shot put during a track mcct, junior Scan Majcwskn throws his hardest. iPhoto by: D.

She also ran in the 3200m run which was a new event for the girls this year and had the fastest time with a 1149.1 She was also a part of the record breaking 1600m relay team. Shelly Brunner broke the 400m and the 100m dash. The team had a record of 40-4. Even with this record the team had no state ranking. The girls' proved that they could beat state ranked teams. They defeated Columbia City who was ranked fifth in the state. They also beat Harding Canother state ranked teamj in the Harding Relays. I feel we were cheated, we had a very deep team and we were strong all around. stated senior Katie GriesL Griest was one of the two seniors on the team this year. Kelly Corya was the other senior. They had the experience and leadership to help us have successful season. said sophomore Chris Sprandel. Because there were only two seniors, the next year's team should be tough. We will be as strong if not stronger next year because almost everyone will be back and their should be a few good up comming freshman said Frosh Suzie Gilbert. Practice was fast paced and a real workout according to most track members. Every one worked hard and was pushed by Anne Tiemon the coach. She helped us acheive our goals said sophomore Jenny Goodman. The girls achieved most of their goals by getting through sectionals, placing fifth in regionals, and sending Amy Buchholz, Shelly Brunner, and, Addie Mullinnex to state.

Because of depth in the varsity team, juniors and good sophomores ran reserve. The team broke seven reserve records and ended the season with a 12-1 record, the best the boy's team has ever had. The team had there biggest momment in the indoor meet against New Haven and Harding, said Coach Dick Shenfeld. Freshman provided new talent with Connie Kiess and Angie Cox in the sprint area Though there was a period needed for adjustment to high school training the freshman met the demands of the team Practices were a lot harder than those of middle school said Connie Kiess Retuming girls also helped in giving the team experience the girls needed for support and leadership Sophomore Krista Jenkins overcame knee injuries to be a major competitor in the hurdles The boy's team consisted of surprises by new sophmores who came out for their first season A example is Bill Payne who received the top athletic award for the boy's reserve team. Though there was contrast between the boy's and girl's reserve track teams, both teams pulled through their hardships to record seasons. Both teams ended their season looking toward future seasons with hope.

Coach Teagarden mam goal was to be accepted Soccer team s . Y V ll YQ have been many successful individual and team sports at Homestead over the past few years, and one of the newer and more prosperous of them, even today, is the soccer team. Last years almost perfect season was almost matched by this years 9-2 record and 2-0 in tournament play. Although the team has had a winning season, the soccer players will not be satisfied unless the city championship is theirs. Junior- halfback Lance Hilkey commented, We haven't completely met our expectations until we win city. We have the potential and the talent. We can do it. Junior haltback Mike Anheauser agreed saying, We did pretty good. We won our division which was one of our goals. The next step is city. We're pretty confident we can do it. Although the team is one of the best in the city by record, the players think their school has cast them aside and have not given them any support. About all they CHomestead Athletic Departmentl have done for us is let us exist, said Hilkey in a cold tone.

This is gratitude we get for being the best? Anheauser added, They haven't helped us very much. It doesn't cost very much to supply a soccer team but they put the money towards more popular sports like football. He continued to say that not being able to play on the football field has been a big factor in attracting spectators and admissions.

Along with the closeness, emotions of the players played a big part in the way they performed The most emotional and exciting games they played were against their rivalry teams Canterbury, and Northrop. While playing in these tough games the coach, Mike Noonan, who played for the ., 'dll' '...Jg,' team Freshman Jeremy Scott said We were a young and inexperienced team but the coach was a valuable asset.

Their creative words often come from televison shows, namely Saturday Night Live, with the pathological liar Tommy Flinegan and the Church lady who lent the immortal phrasesg Yeah, that's the ticketl and lsn't that special?. From Perfect Strangers, Bailki gave the immortal phrase, Don't be ridiculousl . The origins ol other catch-phrases, like Be a Neighbor and Get out of Town aren't really known, but that didn't limit their use during the year. lf the walls ol Homestead could talk, they'd repeat other by-gone sayings, like You look Maaahvolous and Where's the Beet'?, and these top favorites of Homestead students: lSN'T THAT SPEClAL'?'7 GET OUT OF TOWN! YEAH, THATS THE TICKET! DON'T BE RIDlCULOUS! BE A NEIGHBOR! M News W A tale of one cit he changes in the proposed Courtyards shopping mall project, the Presidential visit to Homestead, Superintendent Spittal's resignation, and the victory of Indiana University were all major issues in Ft. Wayne over the year. The Courtyards, a proposed downtown mall, was designed initially to encase existing shops in a glass dome, and add additional shops. Difficulties arose in early '87 when it was announced that due to the varying architectural types of the buildings and the varying conditions of the buildings, the original plan would be impractical and cost too much. They then planned to build an entirely new mall on the same land, but historical activists rallyed against it. Finally, a compromise was formed. The entire student body convened in the auditorium on February 24 to hear former President Ford speak about the current 10013 anniversary of the Constitution, and his views on politics, urging teenagers to become actively involved in their government, whether it be through voting or political office. Senior Adam Probst's grandfather was friends with the former president, and during a golf outing, asked Ford to speak as a part of Probst's government class final project. Just before students left for spring break, superintendent Spittal announced his resignation, effective June 30. Spiital left to become Vice-President of Marion College. Hoosiers were up for two major awards on March 30. One was in the cinematic field, as actor Dennis Hopper was nominated for best supporting actor for his role in Hoosiers, and one in the sports field, as Indiana University played against Syracuse for the NCAA championship. Hopper lost to actor Michael Caine, but the Hurryin' Hoosiers were victorious, landing a last-second basket by number 23, Keith Smart. The final score was 74-73. Throughout the '86-'87 school year, many city activities effected the way the future would be for students, and helped shape the future forthe Summit City. . 2? , 1 - JL. ,l...Mi z ,.'.

Schoppmanl By ANGIE PUTMAN Focus 2000 N- swimming pool, a new elementary, an auxilary gym, and the expansion of classrooms were the topics of discussions at Focus 2000 study sessions throughout the year. Since the community had been growing, the school needed some reconstruction to accomodate for the increase in enrollment. The school board and superintendent David Spittal began by collecting opinions from parents, teachers and students on the strong and weak points of the school district. A lot of people had different viewpoints, said Spittal. Options such as a library connecting Woodside Middle School and Homestead, an indoor track, and a swimming pool were discarded due to lack of support. Board members felt that other proposals should be given top priority. ' Every decision made is going to be made strictly with academics in mind, said school board president Alan Gilbert. Among recommendations that were strongly supported were a new elementary, expansion of the line arts wing, and the addition of 12 classrooms, said the school board. They plan to spend approximately S24 million dollars lS11 million on HHS alonei to complete the process, according to the Focus 2000 Master Plan. Many parents were concerned about the increase in their taxes because of the budget. But Kathy Fredrick thought that it was good that they develop now rather than put it off. We have needed all of these facilities, she said. Don't try to cut back the bucks. We want to do it right. The final planning goals were decided on in mid-February after approximately one year of community feedback, said Gilbert. The board plans to complete the project in 1990. With the suggestions that were given, Gilbert thought that there was a variety of options to choose from for the best interest ol the school district. We are interested in the safety of the students and faculty, he said. l hope we came up with some acceptable ideas. Parents take notes on the proceedings. Local and parental interest was raised by the proposals of the Focus 2000 project. fPhoto by: B. Schoppmani Superintendent Dr. David Spittal discusses the project during a school board meeting.

One of the favorite events of the Homecoming week was the banana split eating contest, proving that eating, specifically eating ice cream, is a favorite activity for many Homestead students. Some ice cream-ites were extremely discriminating as to their choice of frozen delight- only the most exotic-sounding types and combinations appealed to them. g Flavors like Bubble Gum, Peppermint Crunch, and Mint chocolate Chip. Some ice cream connoisseurs keep to the traditional flavors, like Vanilla, Chocolate, and Chocolate Chip.

Friday and Saturday nights students often sat in dark theatres, munching on popcorn and Twizzlers, watching their favorite actors- classic ones like William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek 4, and new faces like River Phoenix and Corey Feldman in Stand By Me, or Charlie Sheen and Willem Dafoe in Platoon. They watched classic scenes of aerial competition and showmanship in Top Gun, and gorry scenes of disgust as Freddie Krueger continued his rampage through the dreams of the Last ot the Elm Street Children in Nightmare on Elm Street, Part threeg Dream Warriors. Those movies, listed below, were the most popular movies at Homestead: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET? DREAM WARRIORS PLA TOON TOP GUN STAND B YME STAR TREK 4 Danngfniendship Third Wheeler ,101 yy ey! How was your WeGk8l'ld? Great. Scott and I went to dinner and a movie Friday night then, on Saturday we went to the mall and the park for lunch.

Then on Sunday we went over to church then we went to brunch then came back to my house. Scott is such a sweetie. What happens when your best friend starts going out with someone? What happens to a friendship? For some people, this can be a big problem. Sophomore Leslie Shimkus said, Sometimes I felt like the third wheel in our friendship, there was a lot of pressure on both of us. Other friends found that it doesn't affect their friendship at all. It doesn't bother me because I have other friends and I spend time with them, said senior Kim Brissey. Sharing high school days with peers is undoubtedly important. Friends are a big part of teens' lives. Renee and I have become better friends since we started living together, now we're like sisters. We still have time to talk even though we go out with other people, said senior Kelly Corya. When a friend starts going out with someone, they suddenly have less time and that's when resentment can start. It is difficult to have time for friends, girlfriends or boyfriends, homework, jobs, and sports. Junior Shelly Sprunger talked about that aspect. l'd feel awful if I didn't have time to spend with my best friend. We would have to talk and work on a time to be together. A senior girl remarked that it can be even harder trying to plan a double date. A double date can work, but often others are cut out by accident. Every time we get together we are with our boyfriends, we don't ever spend any time together anymore, she said. Relationships are important, and difficulties arise with all, but through mutual understanding and respect, a rocky road of friendship can be as smooth as silk.

Whether they were Seniors or Freshmen, their main hope for the weekend remained the same, have fun. Granted, the freshman rarely had their license, so it was more difficult to do things socially. We normally just hang out at the malI, said freshman Lou Cucinelli, I call all my friends up and we just go and hang out together. Having a license could increases one's transportation ability, leading at times to greater entertainment satisfaction, but junior Matt Butzow didn't use his license for his entertainment. When he's bored, he said that I usually call up a biking partner and hit the road. Although some people enjoyed out of the ordinary activities to keep them busy, many like to go to the traditional movie and dinner, whether it be with a member of the same or opposite sex, or group of friends. l normally go out with a group of friends, said junior Andrea Baden. lt can be a lot more fun, and a lot more relaxed. f 'fx , Another activity many Homestead students enjoyed was going to concerts. Ft. Wayne saw big names like the Monkees, Bon Jovi, Huey Lewis and the News, and comediens like Steven Wright and Sam Kennison play and perform. l'd go to more concerts if better people came, said Cucinelli, expressing his distaste for the typical heavy metal bands that usually dominate the Ft. Wayne concert scene. Other types of activites that saw surges this year were wrestling and bowling. Wrestle-mania attacked many, and Ft. Wayne provided opportunities for fans to watch their favorites, like Hulk Hogan, battle it out with others on close-circuit television. Bowling alleys had more and more Homestead students playing for a different type of entertainment than the same movie+dinner: fun formula. Whether weekends meant parties, a movie, bowling, sitting in front of the television, hanging out or just sleeping in, Homestead students found their own way of passing those precious 48. o o s rl-is o o lowtin Assoc Bowling saw a surge in ' popularity over the year, and many students took part, whether for recreation or bowling for charity. iPhoto by: D.

Oh, I don't know. Let's just go somewhere and hang-out. Where? Where everyone else is hanging out. This was a common discussion among friends on weekends. Homestead students who asked that question often answered with the suggestion of going to a party to see their friends and relax. If meeting new friends was more in their plans, a trip to the mall was i always in order. It served the dual purpose of meeting place and a place to I y do some shopping. Finally, if they didn't know of any parties and didn't want to go to the mall, they could find a Homestead student or someone to meet at Pizza Hut or McDonald's, two other popular choices. , These places, each preferred for their own offering, were the most I popular among Homestead students: PARTIES THE MALL PIZZA HUT McDONALD'S I l Entertainment hat ou'vc been l .uf-H gf x I X. 3 XI' .itgnlmm As a carry-out boy for Supor Rogers, sophomore Tom Dulinsky puts groceries in the trunk for customers.

After the school day ended, students would return home and get down to serious studying.

Q, Television offered a lotto students, humor, drama, and bad grades. lt was a way to escape from the Chemistry test you failed today and the Trig test you were going to fail tomorrow. Students laughed with Bailki and Cousin Larry on Perfect Strangers and the Huxtable family on The Cosby Show, pretended they were Addison or Maddie as they watched Moonlighting, went along with Crockett and Tubbs on adventures on Miami Vice, and even limited their sleep to watch Latenight with David Letterman. These were the favorite shows of Homestead students, and they basically followed the nation's choices: l MOONLIGHTING MIAMI VICE l LA TENIGH T WITH DA VID LE 'ITERMAN PEFIFECTSTRANGERS THE COSBY SHOW f . i i Working Lazy slob Wo Y Y t , , ...rl ,., :: iff, it ' 'W i f'X,w E'L 1' ff ., 54, l 'VW -- ,Q-...V ..:' Q W-. ,pq .1 1 ' ,l '., I 1 'Wiki A .f -. 1 y l , 6 -, .N If X ,,,. , V z , . 1 ,.g.4, .g .ya t. . . -- , tw ,754 l ,ltrfwauf ff' H eenagers are greedy, lazy, incompetent, selfish slobs who wouldn't show any responsibility if their life depended on it. Sound familiar? This description, and many like it, come out of parents' mouths every day. Many adults, even though they were once teenagers themselves, feel this way. They only evidence to support the virtue and responsibility of teenagers are the millions of teenagers who go out and get a job. l'm doing what I wanna do now, said junior Ken Clarke about his job as lifeguard at the YWCA. This sounds like a 'typical' selfish teenager remark, but Clarke explained that working was what he wanted to do, and he enjoyed it. He said that the things he enjoyed most were the extra money, the added responsibilities- and you get to meet a lot of new friends. -Supposedly some of the same benefits parents say you get from summer camp. Sophomore Karen Holbrook, who has worked at her family-owned dry cleaning for about three years, displayed a common sentiment for a iot of teenagers: she claimed that the biggest benefit of working was, getting away from my parents and getting out of the house. She then added that, it keeps me busy. Ohervvise l'd be sitting home all day. Plus it gives me money. Teenagers with money and driver's license might be ingredients for bad grades, but Clarke, while agreeing that a job took some of his free time away, said thatg l don't think it effects my schoolwork at aIl, Holbrook explained the benefits of added responsibility due to working. You get discipline from your job and sometimes you can apply it to your schoolwork. Clarke added that, Working gives me something I can't get from doing anything else. l think the benefits definitely outweigh the bad things. Even though teenagers will probably always be thought of as lazy, irresponsible, incompetent, selfish slobs, they will probably always be a part of the workforce, earning money and even working side by side with adults. , J., fi'-I 1 1-' 2' I' Senior Dan Tyler sets a table at the Time Corners' Pizza Hut.

Skillicornj l28 Marching Band Deep regrets and signs of disapointment plagued the band members during their marching season. At the beginning of the season the band was expected to easily make it to state, but through some strange phenomenon, the band missed the state finals by 1.05 points. There could be many reasons why we missed state this year. Most of us feel that there was an error in the judging, said sophomore auxiliary corps member Jill Fera. She continued, We went down very confident since we were ranked third in state and placed first at district competition at Northrop High School. It was heartbreaking when we didn't even make the final state competition. Robert Schultz, the band director, commented, It was one judge that cost the band the contest and continued to say, I was very disapointed . The band members started to practice in August, and practiced vigorously toward the state finals. At the beginning of the year, many band officials chose the Homestead band to have a losing season. Although that concerned some of the players, discouragement was at a minimum. We all knew what we had to do, it was just a matter of locking down a few uncertain matters, which we did, and everything worked out ok, said Fera. Most of the band members will be retuming next year. The returning lettermen will be able to take control and lead the band in next years competition, said Schultz. Many long hours of painstaking organization, practice, time, patience and effort went into the preparation of the marching band. The many hours this year were just one step toward closing the 1.05 gap next year. Russ Henry- Acadcmics Writer l Jili- f 0 25 7 'WM Q. 4 S X1 COKNCGXXQ to XS 0 C' A DIFFERENT STYLE P+ G .

Concert band was different from Marching Band in many ways. Concert Band doesn't involve all of the time that Marching Band does because we don't have to put a whole show together and we only have one contest to prepare for, said junior Lisa Skillicorn. We don't practice outside of school and we only have one competition, which is the ISSMA, added director Robert Schultz. The music played in Concert Band is also play more serious music and some marches. We also play some music written especially for us, explained Schultz. Skillicom added, Our music is basically for parents but all types of people like it . As in anything, there is always change. This was the first year for the freshman and upperclassmen to be seperated into two different bands. This was better because now upperclassmen can play harder and more serious music, Schultz said. It's better this year because freshman don't play with us so we can play more This was the last year for the band director, Schultz. He resigned for personal and professional reasons. This summer I will be working on finishing my principal's license and then I'm not sure what I will be doing, said Schultz. The beginning of Concert band's season marked the end of Marching Band's season. The students that were ,in the bands had musical abilities and worked towards better musicianship.

The jazz band played for concerts and school activities, but their main objective was to perform in competition. The jazz band competed against other high school bands that directed all of their time and efforts to working on jazz music. Director Bob Schultz explained that the competitions were exciting for the students but their is no long term goal, like state is in marching band. Their goal was to do the best that they could at each competition. The jazz band consisted of 19 students which was basically a set instrumentation for most jazz bands. The jazz band consisted of four main sectionsg the sax, the trombone, the trumpet and the rhythm which included drums, bass and piano. According to Schultz, all of the sections were pretty equal and solid. A song could feature each section, explained Schultz. Senior Jay Bolduc said, We work pretty well together. The individual sections help and teach each other in the their section and students in other sections. Each section also learned and knew their part well so that the band was balanced. Junior Vince Lewis said, I like playing different styles of music - more complicated and a lot more challenging. Lewis likes the fact that the group was smaller and he was closer with the people in the group. He also enjoys the relaxing environment. The lunch crowds tapped their feet to the jazzy music and as the bell rang for the students to return 'to .class, they were hesitant to leave.

But would you be willing to contribute an hour of your day learning new songs and dance routines for competitive performances? Learning new songs and dances was the normal routine for the students who were members of the Swing Choir. The choir met as a fifth period class which was used to practice for their five competitions and several concerts. Making the Swing Choir takes a lot more than just signing up for the fifth period class. To become a member, students must audition in the spring, according to the choir's director, Susan Cavanagh. The auditions require singing and dancing. First singing, then dancing, but both are extremely important, said Cavanagh. As far as the choir's performances were concemed, they were not always consistent but Cavanagh explained, We are constantly improving and performing better. According to Cavanagh, the choir's togethemess was a strong point. Sophomore Lisa Probst agreed, It's like we're a family. Even though the choir never won any major awards, they were generally pleased with their performances. The choir 29 of,,Maera FCC' duafjbn a11S J df x . , w :sm 51 J' is b Hi- -:.-'-' 21 auf' 111 s G e 12 I received a second division rating in the ISSMA competition in March.

Kphoto by: L. Iostj ' Symphonic Choir The group of students began to sing the melody of one of the number of songs in their repetoire. The song was prepared through many hours of practice. Their voices were in perfect harmony and the concert began on key. An opportunity for students of any grade to participate in a mixed vocal ensemble without auditioning, is Mrs. Cavanagh's description of Symphonic Choir. lt's a good opportunity for people who don't like to audition to be able to perform in this type of choir, said Junior Shelly Sprunger. Students of all grades participated. SYMPHQNY Music on key The group gave a major concert at the end of each semester and participated in the Indiana State Ensemble. They prepared themselves for those shows by, warming up vocally, working on reviewing music, correcting pitches, rhythm, and style, said Cavanagh. They also practiced tempo changes, dynamics, and conducting techniques. The choir was exposed to different styles of vocal literature and worked to develop their individual voices. I liked being in Symphonic Choir because it was a traditional singing group, said Sprunger. The choir also studied works of various traditional choral styles. The returning students made the group stronger and accompanist Erin Knee kept the choir in tune. Cavanagh summed it up by saying, They have good individual talent and are working hard. As the choir sang the practiced notes in perfect harmony, the director raised her hand for the final note. The song ended in perfection as the lights dimmed and applause rose from the crowd.

Skillicomj 138 Orchestra SKILL AND TALENT For many students, Orchestra was not merely a class they took to fill their schedule - it was a class that combined their skills as musicians and their knowledge of music into one, creating in them a symphony of talent. Many of the students have been playing their instruments for years, trying to perfect their talents. Freshman Orchestra student, Christy Lyon, got into it in the sixth grade accidentally, but soon got to like it. My two brothers both played piano and they quit. My parents wanted me to learn because they didn't want a useless piano, said junior Kristen Rousell, who also plays the violin, viola, and cello. There are many different ideas about the kind of experiences that Orchestra can give a musician. Lyon said that the Orchestra gave us cultural back- ground and a chance to meet different people and compete. Rousell said she liked it because in it I leam about composers, and playing the music is relaxing. Careers for many of these students may or may not include musical instruments. Sophomore Stephanie Hart admitted that it'd be good to be in a professional orchestra but it's pretty much a hobby. Lyon remarked by saying, I'm not really sure yet, but I do plan to keep on playing in the near future. Rousell, however, definately wants to be in a career of music. I love the music, I love learning about it and I love to perform. I can't imagine music not being a part of my life. Although they performed and rehearsed as a group in the classroom. each Orchestra student kept with them the experience they gained and lessons they learned during their year in the Orchestra. aurccn Condrou- Editor-in-chief 1 J REHE MUC1i1ffif,fs, L0 G A1155 ?,..

According to co-editors Julie Carson and Andrea Offerle, the Spartana placed second in the nation at the NSPAXNEA convention CNational Scholastic Press Associationlloumalism Education Associationj. Everybody worked hard, said co-editor Julie Carson. In addition, the Spartana received a Five-Star All-American rating by the National Scholastic Press Collegiate Press placed the paper in Pacemaker competition. According to adviser Mark Kommann, the Spartana was worthy of the awards. I thought the paper was deserving, said Kommann. It showed the staff how they rank with other newspapers. Although the Spartana won many awards, Kornmann still had expectations for the staff. I expect them to put out a good paper that the school will read, said Kornmann. Individually, they fthe staffj should perform as best as they can, and to get their jobs done. Overall, the Spartana did well this year. Laura and Deb are good writers. The editors learned a lot from the convention...the staff is qualified, said co-editor Andrea Offerle. Members of the Spartana staff had enough work to keep them busy during class and after school. Such work included receiving assigned jobs, conducting interviews, writing and typing up stories, and completing page layouts. ' Now, do you still want to know what commitment is?

I1 GETTING THE JOB DONE Long after the 2:45 bell rang, track or basketball practice ended, and the janitors paced the halls emptying trash cans, erasing blackboards, or locking gates: the pub room was still very much alive. How Much Longer was the theme for the book but it was also the attitude of the staff during the long hours it took to put the yearbook together. Editors, writers, and photographers gave up social time, sleep, and study time for paste-ups that lasted until 1:30 a.m. sometimes. Even through the long hours of work, the staff members said that it was worth it. Student Life editor senior Angie Aiello said, If I could do a spread on each person outside of their school picture, I would. Seeing their faces when we pass the book out makes it worth it. Putting the yearbook together was an all year process. It started with the decision of the theme in August and lasted long after the school year was out. The staff started working at the Ball State Journalism Workshops. Maureen CCondron- Editor -in -chiefj and Tracy Gensen- Managing Editorj started working on the theme and cover, said adviser Mark Kommann. Editor Maureen Condron explained the satisfaction the staff feels when the final product is complete. Seeing it all come together and how the school feels about it, you know it's worth it. It was a lot more fun and it was a lot more work. While the staff worked late into the nights finish the yearbook, the janitors put the last twisty on the trash bags and the night custodian prepared for his 11-7 shift. All these people wondered just How Much Longer it would take to finish the job. Lcslic Shimkus- Newspaper staff If S T -' 4 . 'xi Q? It's a lot of work but it's rewarding and I had a good time.

Most likely everyone has at one time or another, including the members of the National Honor Society. Tina Miller, the advisor for the National Honor Society said that the members had to accomplish a lot of work to be accepted into the Honor Society. They had to be juniors, maintaining a 10.0 grade point average for four semesters and fulfill roles of leadership, character, and service, judged by the teachers, who then vote on the outstanding students. Fifty-two students fulfill these requirements and were admitted. Miller said, The students are honored and proud to be on the Honor Society. Christy Eickhoff, who was this years president, was on the Honor Society for the past two years. Eickhoff said, I really feel honored to be on the society. The Honor Society had two main banquets, one in the spring and one in the fall. These banquets were to induct new members into the National Honor Society and honor those on the honor roll. They also helped with the pizza delivery on December 17, and served for the teachers banquet. All Honor Society members were encouraged to help tutor students in problem areas. Senior Melissa Schneider enjoyed tutoring. Schneider said, I like it, it gives me a chance to review things I had leamed a couple of years ago. Schneider began tutoring in October in Geometry and Chemistry. The next time you're studying for a test when you'd rather be watching TV, remember the rewards of the hard workg the Honor Society members do.

For members of the speech team, speeches were part of every week, and for many, it was much more important to get their point across than to quickly complete an assignment. I want to make people think about what I'm saying, said junior Andrea I? ea Baden. Baden and another teammate, junior Mike Fischer talked about their personal gains from their experience on the team, and the misconceptions many people had about speech. Baden claimed that many people thought that if on the team, a member merely memorized a speech them recited it in front of strangers. Baden said it was not true. Speech has so many things for people. It can really ste:.m from your interests and help you leam. She went on to say that competing is like perfoming. Fischer agreed. I think it helps any career.

Baden cited other benefits of being on the speech team. You can meet a lot of people, it builds up your confidence, and helps you in dealing with your nerves. Speech team members might be looked upon as masochists and crazy for wanting to give speeches, but they said there's more to giving a speech than getting nervous and turning red.

They also took money and orders for helium balloons and Spartan buttons. The Backroom was sponsored by Mr. Potter and Student Government members. Student Government is defined as an organization of students that plan and organize activities for the benefit of the student body, faculty, and community. students to the faculty, administration, and community, added O'Dare. There were many newly elected members who helped in the organization this year. Each member had new ideas, the willingness to work, and a lot of enthusiasm, stated President Cam Watts. Without the help of the Student Government, prom, carnation sales, the backroom, Homecoming activities and graduation would not be possible. The sale of novelty items are held by different carnations this year. The sale went pretty well considering the price went up from last year, commented Potish. Junior Jill Schueller and sophomore Marnie Tannas found the year to be productive in balloon sales. They progressively picked up from the beginning of the year, said Schueller. The Government members once again hurried to get the Backroom closed. The halls were quickly swept and the students once again retumed to class. I think we really fit the definition of Student Government, said junior class representive, Beth O'Dare. We represent the members of the Student Government too.

These feelings are what the Key Club experienced as they devoted their time to various activities. Tutoring, raising money for charity, ushering at plays, and many other community services were all performed by the Key Club. Raising money for charity was also a major project. They sold chocolate santas and all of the money was given to various charities. The Key Club met every Thursday after school to discuss the upcoming events. The officers met on Thursdays and Tuesdays to keep ahead of the upcoming activities. The meetings were headed by President Jennifer Lambeth. Many community services were performed by the Key Club. They performed about 20 activities. One of the main events that they did was tutoring at Plymouth Church every Monday along with working at Lindenwood Park doing odd jobs. Tours of the school were given by the Key Club to the incoming freshman along with 8th grade orientation and helping out on parent's night. Lambeth commented, lt took a lot. You really had to give. Not many people can do several things, and do them well. It takes a lot o f ti m e . The Key Club is a growing club. It has been active for three years and has grown in membership and activities every year. This year the membership was up to 28. Backofen said, Every year we have increased in membership and activities. Once the helping is done, the members felt good about themselves and their project so they took on another.

DISCUSSING PRDBLEMS In a fun way The object of the game was to say the first thing that entered your mind after a certain word was mentioned. This game was used to get the Campus Life group prepared for the evening's discussion on verbal abuse. Campus Life discussions ranged from verbal abuse to suicide to dating. Anything that affects today's teenager. I have a lot of fun at Campus Life because it gives me a chance to get together with my friends, to have fun and also a chance to talk about some of my problems, said junior Angie Waggoner. But what exactly is Campus Life? Mick Baker .ll the co-leader with Ellen Baker said, We work with what is called the Balance Life Concept. Everyone has a physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual side to themselves. In order to be balanced one must have all sides. Campus Life met every Monday night at 7:27. Unlike other organizations students didn't need any special talents or qualifications. Campus Life was just a time to discuss topics important to a teenagers life. There was more to Campus Life than Monday nights. They sponsored an ice cream booth at the carnival and an -- mg 4 YA W l activity night during Homecoming Week at Homestead along with activities of their own. In the fall and winter they sponsored a sub grublburger bash, S.P.U.G. lstrategic park undercover gamesl and a wild turkey chase. Many ski trips were taken along with spring and summer activities that included trips to Florida and white water rafting trips. The word eat was said and many of the Campus Life members thought of their favorite food and how hungry they were. Twyla Kendrick- People Editor .H 1 E W Chg?

Q V, L: ll V' Hockey Q s-'99 AC H I E VIN It comes from dedication Dedication is what it's all about. In order to achieve something and be good at it, one has to spend time and effort. Homestead's hockey club certainly had dedication. Being only the second year as an organized club, the team improved greatly and eamed a wirming record. In fact, the team pratically went to state without recognition only to lose in the semi-tinal. We were a lot more familiar with each other this year, commented senior Paul Pelach. Last year we had a problem with team morale, stated senior Jim Kirkoff. This year we didn't have the tension on the team. Kirkoff contributed this to the team being more familiar with each other-not only in how they play, but being better friends. There were only two or three new players on the team not from Homestead, he added. The hockey club carries the Homestead name, but isn't a sponsored sport. This entitles the team to have players from other schools. According to Pelach, this means each player has to pay expenses for the games, which includes renting ice time from MeMillen Ice Arena, transportation to other games and equiptment. The team just had to put their talent together during the games because their wasn't much practice time. We didn't have much time - only one or two sessions before state, stated Kirkoff. Yet this lack of practice didn't- effect their fan turnout. We hada lot more fans this year, commeted Pelach. The team averaged 30 fans per game which boosted theteam's morale. They were more aware of the team, said Kirkoff. Kirkoff concluded, This year our team was basically real good and it was good to be a part of it.

Sophomore Susan Spindler 77 NE EXPERIENCES Kicking towards popularity With soccer growing to become one of the major sports in the country, it has expanded and become a part of the sports program for boys and girls in high school sports. Homestead was no exception, as the girl's soccer club had it's first season. The first year team practiced on learning the basics and working together. They were building and training for future seasons. The team was bridging into the territory that before had only been open to guys. Sophomore Julie Zinn said, It was just like boy's soccer, except it was less physical. The team finished record and the team had hopes of doing even better next year. The team of 20 girls, consisting of half that hadn't even played the sport before proved to be a real challenge. Coach Chris Gaydos said, The more experienced girls were a big help in teaching the less experienced players. Gaydos also said, The girls had a lot of enthusiasm. The girls had many ideal goals for this season. Sophomore Amy Buenzli said, My goals were, to win a game, and become a better player. Many of the other girls felt the same way. improved a lot throughout the season. Junior Julie Long said, We're not that bad, but we're not that good. The soccer club was not a state sponsored sport. But with a lot of interest generated during the season, many of the team members hoped it would be a state sport during the next year. The girls soccer club allowed female soccer enthusiasts the opportunity to participate in what was once considered a boy's territory, and enjoy one of the nation's growing sports. Dave Moore- . . .

ENT colvuss TOGETHER FORMS A WINNING TEAM The game was almost over, the members of Homestead's Indoor soccer team wondered how long it would be until the game was over. A soccer ball rolled across the court, the team members ran after the ball. Sweat dripped from their foreheads and their faces had a look of concentration on them. Junior Mike Anheuser, a center half back, intercepted a pass from an opponent and the crowd roared. Indoor soccer -.vas an exciting sport. The team being on the soccer team was winning. We had a great season and a great team. Most of the soccer team members were in another soccer club and played soccer all year. Indoor soccer team members had practice every day and games on Tuesdays. The practices consisted of of running, work outs and working on maneuveres. This hard work payed off and the Indoor soccer team had a record of 10-0. Chris Furney said, The biggest highlight and event organization for those students interested in playing soccer for fun and competition. Although the indoor soccer team was not sponsored by the school many Homestead students participated in it. Furney felt that the school should sponsor the indoor soccer team. Furney said, People have a better chance of playing in the indoor team than they do in the outdoor team. If it was school sponsored then the people who play wouldn't have to pay for registration and members were close to each other and intent on winning, Anheuser stated. Junior Jeff Rayburn, a mid-field player, said My favorite part about nl. ofthe season was playing in the championship games at the Coliseum and getting to play on real astroturf.

Mr. Bruner, a social studies teacher, was named the 1986 Junior Achievement!Foellinger Outstanding Economics Teacher. In April, Bruner traveled to Chicago with Junior Achievement to put on a demonstration for the J .A. National Convention. Bruner has been teaching for 22 years and likes to use hands-on rather than the lecture and theory method everyday. What keeps him coming back to high school ? I can always count on something different everyday. So, in Mr. Bruner's case it's not so uncommon to acheive honors in his field of excellence. Twyla Kendrick- People Editor- lohn Bruuur 1 'X , .

This is not the case for French teacher Mr. Kline. D u r i n g s u m m e r vacation, Kline resurfaced the floors of gymnasiums for various schools. He has done this for the past fifteen years,working for Hammel Floor Service along with other teachers or retired teachers. It fits into their Cteachersj summer schedules, said Kline. Some of Kline's major duties include sanding the floors, resurfacing, repainting and putting a new coat of finish on. Kline removes the scuff marks and makes the floor shine. It sounds like it would take a long time but apparently not. It usually only takes about a week, said Kline. It can only be done every fifteen to twenty years. In the school's case this may be good, because it costs ten to twelve thousand dollars to do. So, when summer vacation rolls around this year and you're outside catching rays, remember Mr. Kline's indoors improving the gym floors of various schools in Indiana.

A sport that .forces you to shave your head? Swimming is such a sport, and freshman Tyler Almeida was willing. Almeida explained how it all began, A Chinese guy threw me in the water and I learned to swim. That was nine years ago, and ever since Almeida has kept swimming and improving. He qualified for the Y Nationals in the 100m butterfly, his best area. He made a time of 55.58, only .64 seconds over the Ft. Wayne record. Almeida said that swimming offers him a lot. It keeps me in good shape, I meet people, and travel . However, he does admit to some downfalls. I don't get to go to dances, and people don't like the smell of chlorine too much. Swimming is his future. 1 could stand staying in it for another ten years, said Almeida. He wants to improve his time, go to the Air Force Academy, and his ultimate goal is the Olympics. aurccn Coudron Editor-in-chief Tyler Almeida 'xl -url! if J 6' R 'wr l s Burmaster, Shannon Butzow, Wendey Cable, Joshua Callaghan, Dave Callahan, Bill Campbell, Wallace Carlson, Aimee Carpenter, Kristi Carson, Peggy Caverly, Mark Chambers, Scott Christian, Rob Church, Mark Ciesielski, Mark Clark, Tom Clouse, J anel Conner, Tracey Cornell, Carl Councell, Teresa Counterman, James Cox, Angela Coyne, Chris Crandel, Pam Cucinelli, Louis Current, Diane Freshmen 167 Dawson, Brian Delegado, Raul Demerly, Jay Derbyshire, Jennifer Devine, Janet Ditmer, Lori Dreher, Douglas Dunn, Todd Eckerley, Canie Eddy, Nicole Emrick, Chad Enyart, Brenda Ess, Todd Evans, Brad Fairchild, Lee Falbe, Eric Farm, Kevin Fetter, Mary Fink, Brian Fischer, Lauretta Forman, Bradley Fortmeyer, Jennifer Frazier, Jamie Fumey, Jeff Geri g, Jason Getrost, John Gifford, Amy Gilbert, Suzie Gilles, Nancy Gordy, Brian Gorski, Teresa Goskowicz, Scot Griest, Chris Groff, Michelle Hahnert, Jennifer m Freshmen Haimbaugh, Rosetta Hart, Gregg Hathaway, Jeffery Heck, Doug Heckley, Tonya Heit, Michael Henschen, Beth Henschen, Ronda Hille, Aimee Hines, Nick Hoff, Dax Holderbaum, Amy Hollenbeck, Jenny Holstein, Julie Honderd, Todd Hotchkiss, Benjamin Hough, Dan Houser, Dawn Huberty, Kelly Hurley, Shannon lfert, Scot Imel, Heather Jacobs, Chip Jain, Manu Jap, Tanya Johnson, Jason Karshner, Trent Kaufman, Dave Keller, Bryan Kenworthy, Brian Keys, Laurie Kibby, Suzanne Kiss, Coni Kinsey, Kelly Klinger, Margo Freshmen 169 ' 4 i. Tanya Jap ap tickles the ivories Before school plays, as the late-comers straggled into the auditorium, the music could be heard over their hushed voices. One of the students that had occupied the piano bench many times before, freshman Tanya Jap. Jap began playing the piano when she was in the first grade. She has come a long way, now she also teaches piano at Waynedale Baptist Church. Taking lessons and teaching kept Jap busy, but she still practiced six days a week, in addition to a full schedule during the school day. Jap admitted that such a full schedule did have an influence on her social life. I can't go to as many activities as I want to, she said. With all of the abilities that Jap had one might think she would consider playing professionally. I don't like getting up in front of big groups of people, said Jap. What does she do with her abilities then? She simply uses them for her pleasure. If I don't have anything to do, I can just sit down and p ay, said Jap.

But, occasionally, a student is talented enough to do well during their underclassmen years. Such was the case with sophomore Amy Buchholz, whose talent in cross-country brought her much attention. Buchholz, who placed first in conference, was the only sophomore named to the All-Conference first team. I was really pumped for conference, because I knew I had a good chance, she said. Buchholz also made the All-State team, placing tweny-fifth in state competition. I had a really good race in the beginning, she commented, but she fell five places later in the race. Buchholz is one of the few underclassmen who do well athletically. Her main hope for next year is to have the team grow in size. We have a talented team...a really young team. I hope next year we have more runners.

Moser's experiences in boy scouting. At age 13, the youngest possible, Moser became an eagle scout, the highest award given. He was also chosen as a senior patrol leader at the Boy Scout National Jamboree, in Fort AP, Virginia, in 1985. Moser explained the benefits of these honors, When you're trying to get a job, it shows that you accomplished something when you were younger. Besides giving him a sense of accomplishment, Moser said that his scouting experiences gave him a clear view of the real world. He said, It helps you communicate with people.

Sophomore Andrea Williams was an exception. Williams earned her first varsity letter in Volleyball, Basketball, and third varsity letter in Softball. In all of these sports except for Softball, Williams was the only freshman. William's goal was to make Varsity Basketball. Basketball is my favorite, said Williams. This year as a sophomore, Williams was named to First Team All-Conference in Basketball. Williams will be able to earn her Athletic Blanket at the end of her junior year. That's just an added bonus, said Williams. By the time she graduates Williams will have eamed 12 Varsity letters. Sports area major part of my life, she said. I just have fun.

Making it to the top is difficult, but for those who have ambition and talent, it's within reach. Such was the case with sophomore Brett Scappucci, who with his acting, dancing, and singing abilities, planned to succeed. To Scappucci, whose acting career began with a leading role in Purdue-Indiana Theatre's Auntie Mame, performing meant a lot, and so did success. Wherever the top is, that's where I want to be .... It'1l take Htotheto a lot, but I'm willing to take the chances, said Scappucci. Besides being active in school and community theatre, Scappucci was also a member of the Spartan Singers, in Variety '87, and took several years of vocal training. For Scappucci, making it was important, and with his talent and ambition, dreams of being on Broadway could come true.

We listened to two speakers talk on the Frazier case, a press conference was held, and then we had one hour to write a story , stated Rosenbury. She received a first place honor in this competition. Rosenbury was also elected president of the Indiana High School Press Association. Her main function was planning the annual convention for student journalists and their advisers at Franklin College. While some students write because it's assigned to them, Rosenbury writes for competitions and for the SPARTANA. However, not always in an hour.

While others tried to fmd the time for all the various activities for today's teenager, junior Jenna Fruechtenicht was busy fulfilling her lifelong dream. Fruechtenicht had worked on this dream since she was four years old, and has belonged to the Fort Wayne Ballet Co. for three years. Fruechtenicht's most memorable performance was in 1986 when she had a solo with a New York to a drea dancer. I felt like I was finally considered a good ballerina. What does she consider a good ballerina? A good ballerina is someone who the audience enjoys wathcing and that person enjoys dancing. Fruechtenicht's plans for the future are not definite as to where she will be or when she will be there, except that she plans to continue her dream of ballet.

Condron hadn't planned on being on the yearbook staff her junior year, but she changed her mind when she was asked to be editor. I was very surprised, said Condron. When asked if she had any regrets, Condron said nothing was as she expected. It's harder than it sounds. The biggest plus Cin the bookj. A big minus is that you give up a lot of your spare time. For example, she attended the Ball State Workshop for one week in July, not to mention the long hours spent at paste-ups after school and on weekends. Condron's hopes for the future are to be involved in a career in Advertising. As for Kommann, the jury is still out on whether or not he indeed lost his mind.

Senior Paul Pelach and juniors Jon Harvey and Eric Chivers, were among the 17 players on the Fort Wayne Warriors hockey team who departed on December 26 for a ten day trip. However many differences, similarities positive and negative experiences these students had, they all agreed that they would someday like to go back to these countries.

One such group here was Pompeii, made up of juniors Kindra Marra on drums, Mike Musgrave singing lead, and David Wendell on guitar. South Side student John Falkerson played bass and Canterbury student David Andrew on keyboards, guitar,and vocals. It was all just for fun, said Musgrave, but when we began to practice more and sound better, the Variety Show entered our minds. They were the best band in the show, said senior Angie Putman. You could really get into the songs. Junior Dan Douglas agreed, saying, They have the potential to be an electrifying group. Wendell admitted, This band has great chemistry. Their basic style of sound is defined by Musgrave as, A some of the weirder semi-new wave stuff. Wendell stated that the variety helps, I think we're a good group because we have very diverse musical interests. When asked what the benefits of Pompeii were, Wendell and Musgrave had varied answers. I love to hear what we've accomplished. lt's great to work hard and then hear how it turns out, said Wendell. Musgrave said that the biggest benefit for him was working on something that hopefully others can identify with, appreciate,and enjoy. Whether or not Pompeii reaches the wealth and fame of Bon Jovi, Genesis, or the Beatles remains to be seen. As for now, Musgrave 'said that, We're just out to have a bogus time.

Senior Lynda Doctoroff had this dream and she was determined to make it come IIUC. Doctoroff started acting at eight, and has been since. She has had lead roles in Annie, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Miracle Worker,Chorus Line, and others, and she performed in four shows in NewYork over the summer. I love doing it, I wou1dn't do it if it wasn't fun, She said. I like performing because it is kind of like laughing. Doctoroff explained, quoting Norman Cousins, Laughter is a form of internal jogging, it is an instigator of great expectations. Other than plays, Doctoroff sang the National Anthem at the NEIAC Tournament and for President Ford when he visited the school. When Doctoroff stepped on stage she fulfilled one of her lifetime dreams. She had the gift of talent and used her ability to have fun.

I have always loved to skate, and it gives me a way to relax and get rid of frustration, stated Dauscher. Its a type of enjoyment outlet. Since Dauscher started skating at the age of ten she has found herself truly involved in the sport. As a child she had a dream of wanting to go to the Olympics. As she became older she realized that dream was too far to reach. However she has decided that she wants to continue to stay in the skating profession after high school. I hope to go to the University of Tampa, and skate with Walt Disney on Ice, said Dauscher. If she does not go to Tampa, then she would like to go into sports medicine and become the figure skating doctor in the Olympics.

This year, however, two students were a part of one of those games. Seniors Lisa Herbstreit and Monica Hart traveled to Houston, Texas January first to participate in the halftime show of the Bluebonnet Bowl. They were selected as part of the halftime auxiliary because of their outstanding work at color guard camp during the summer. According to Hart, the guard practiced a lot. We learned a different routine every day, she said. We also leamed a try-out routine for the Bluebonnet Bowl. All of the camp was able to try out, and Hart and Herbstreit were among the people awarded spots in the halftime show. We met a lot of interesting people, and the instructors were really neat, Herbstreit said. Andrea Offerle- Newspaper co-editor Hyder, Todd-V. Football 11,12, V. Baseball 11, R. Baseball 9,l0, R.

Schneider moved from Park Forest, Illinois where she also attended a public school. In November, she received a second place award in the Academy of Science convention. Two delegates from each of 75 schools in Indiana were eligible to compete, explained Shenider. Science teachers got together to decide on which students they felt would do the best in the competition, and she was one of the chosen ones. Schneider enjoys math and science and plans on studying math in college. I got interested in math at an early age because my father was a math teacher and I also like the sciences that I can use my math background in. Schneider explained.

Addicted to his artistic styl The Back Side of Death...The Water Rises, but the Fire Bums On... Thesetitles may sound like they belong on the cover of a best-selling novel, but, in fact, they belong to a totally different artistic form...Dave Birkey's form. Birkey has been involved with art for a long time. Ever since I was about...two. No, really...I guess as far back as I can remember, he said, laughingly. Birkey's winning latex painting consisted of a basketball player shooting from the right to the backboard on the far left. NEIAC was in the center, containing the word Homestead. Birkey entered a portfolio in a local competition against 1,763 others, his portfolio was chosen to go on to New York for national competition. Birkey is the first Homestead since 1977 to reach the New York competition. Also, two of his works were chosen as Hallmark. As far as college goes, Birkey said, l'm looking at two, or three...or four. Maybe Columbus College of Art and Design...I just can't say yet. Birkey said that he is considering commercial or advertising illustration as a possible future. Ayne Jackson- ! Dave Birkey I' S fi i NF 0,4 Cx? 1: 5 1 , ' i- .f .Q Aw. 'A I . an 'U' ' 1..- ly 1 Y..

Beginning as freshmen, they progressed as a class, and produced outstanding athletes, such as Will Luzar and Troy Karshner, who both signed to play football at universities in Indiana. They produced students such as Julie Carson, who was the editor of the Spartana for two years in a row, while the newspaper won' numerous national awards. Students such as Lynda Doctoroff added to the class with their abilities to perform. With outstanding acting, singing, and dancing talents she played the lead in several musicals. But graduation was more than just a ceremony. For many seniors, it symbolized earning freedom and responsibility. Holly Swihart said that graduation gave them the chance to move on. It was a point where I go on by myself to do a job that will help me in all I do. Also, the freedom to ' be able to do this job. To many, graduation did mean freedom. But Julia Hirt added, Freedom is a part of it, but you still have a lot of things to go through until you're free...college and work .... You've got to' start paying attention to your responsibilities. Seniors had many things to look forward to after high school. They anticipated college, work, travel, and many activities, as well as continued good times. Senior Jim Kirkhoff summed up his goals for college by saying he wanted to learn something, then get a good job and make a lot of money after a summer of some serious fun. A When the seniors anticipated graduation they asked, How Much Longer? and the answer was always Too Long to Wait. Q Tracy Jcnscn- Managing Editor White, Maria-ICE!COE 12 R.

Skillicornj ww' I ,Q D Students who looked forward to the good times throughout the year were not disappointed. There were plenty of them at Homestead. Some expected, like Prom, and some unexpected, like the power failure in May. All kept students wondering How Much Longer? until the next good time, and hoping the answer would be SOON. Students in the publications department wondered How Much Longer? ' as they counted down the days until their trip to New York City in March. Nine members from the Retrospect and Spartana staffs attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference, accepting many awards. As the snow melted and the sun shone warmer, students wondered How Much Longer? until Spring break would come and bring relaxation and fun. Many, like sophomore Jennifer Lambeth and juniors Beth Irwin and Kristen Culp, went to unusual places. Lambeth spent her Spring break in Austria, while Irwin and Culp enjoyed St. Thomas, Bahamas. Over 40 people in the cast of Oliver worked for weeks learning lines, music, and dances for the spring musical, wondering How Much Longer? until they could perform on stage.

This year's prom was at the Performing Arts Center, with the theme Heaven In Your Eyes Closing and colors in blue and silver. After the Prom, students met at the Holiday Inn downtown where they could eat, dance, swim, and gamble in the casino, and spend time with their friends. As the end of the year came around, Seniors were constantly asking How Much Longer? until graduation would finally take place, yet a part of their feelings were reflected in the theme, Never Say Goodbye. As for the rest of the student body, they had to wait longer for their dismissal. But on June 4, after all the finals were taken, students walked to their lockers for the last time.
