1986 John Adams High School 808 South Twykenham Drive South Bend, Indiana 46615 Student Life: ALBUM The Best Of Times Decorating a friend ' s locker for her birthday, popping the question to that special girl for a date to prom, meeting friends at Off the Strip, ' getting caught by Mr. Adelsberger during Mr. Aronson ' s class, and staying up all night at work were all part of an average high school student ' s life at John Adams. Vol. 4 5 Fac-N-Ac: 34 Whether students were interested in art or English; astron- omy or drama, the opportunities to fulfill that niche in their academic lives can be met at J. A. Not only did students have fun, but teachers too were able to find excitement in the spontaneous happenings in day-to-day classes. Activities: 66 Sharing similar interests as a group, the students discussed and learned more about their specific interests by attending a variety of different clubs. Whether it was observing exotic animals in Biology Club or working on a poem for the Foot- prints Magazine, the important thing was that the time was spent together. Athletics: 100 - Determination, sportsmanship, and teamwork were some of the factors demonstrated in the athletic program at J. A. Al- though the outcome of the seasons can be summarized by the records of wins and losses, trophies and points, and public recognition, the true success was each athlete ' s personal gain. People: 146 A wide variety of students can be found in the halls at Adams nerds, jocks, punks, and preps. Although different in ap- pearance and personality, students were able to form a mix- ture of spirit and togetherness in times of achievement in both ' .etics and academics. Advertising: 194 Businesses of all types financially supported both John Adams and its many activities. Support came from throughout the community, ranging anywhere from Martin ' s Supermarket to Time Realty and Hull Truck Lift to the Adult Booster Club. Editors-in-Chief: Diane Ricker and Sarah Wilhelm Title A Letter From The Editors John Adams is a school of academic and athletic excellence. It is a home away from home for most students and faculty. It is a place not only to learn, but also to meet friends, encounter new experiences, and share special times. Here we have been able to strive with determination to achieve our goals throughout the year. Each of us have met our goals in one way or another, some by sitting through lectures, struggling through sprints during volleyball practice, or even organizing a dance or school func- tion. The 1986 school year has left behind a collection of contributions, achievements, and memories. What remains is not only the publicity of the NIC football cham- pionship or the biology students receiving research grants, but also each one ' s own personal gains. High school years are meant to be and always will be the most memorable times in our life — much pain, excitement, and most of all advancement into one ' s own independence. These years we spent at J. A. will soon be a memory to us. Al- though, vivid now in our minds, they will soon become pastimes. We don ' t however, realize that some of those special bonds shared with our friends will soon be lost in the shuffle in the halls of Adams. Before we know it we will look back and find a blurry sketch in the back of our minds of our high school years. It is our hope that this book will present in the future a clear picture of the best of times spent throughout the 1986 school year at John Adams.

Well, you had probably just come across one of John Ad- ams ' many individuals already introduced into the working world.

Most likely it was caused by a long work-week, usually 10 to 25 hours, in com- pliance with the ever-present accumula- tion of — as Mr. Goodman would say — Amy Orlando discovers that selling shoes at Baker ' s is only part of her job — she also dyes them- out of class assignments.

JJ - 2:55 12 This year Adams acquired a photogra- phy lab that enabled the students to devel- op black and white pictures in one studio and color pictures in another. Senior, Amy Richards, commented, compared to last year ' s lab, there is more room and much more organization. As a result students showed more interest in the field of pho- tography and more students also enrolled in the class. The photography lab should now add a new dimension to the academic program at J. A. Changes What better way to bring pep assem- blies back with style than the installation of sturdy new bleachers. Not only have students stood or jumped while cheering on them, they have also sat there patiently and awaited the announcement of yet an- other award-winning team as a captain presented Mr. Przybysz with their trophy or plaque. Complementing these was the recently aid gym floor bearing the symbolic Ad- ams ' Eagle. It expressed the strength, stamina, and sportmanship that the teams and the school possessed.

The murmuring hushed as Mr. Przybysz stepped up to the microphone and asked, Who ' s gonna win tonight? The enthusi- asm that had had the prior year to build up was suddenly and forcefully set free when everyone yelled - - We are! Smiles broke out on the faces of hundreds of infa- mous Adams Eagles ' fans. Even the fresh- men were involved. One of the excited novices proclaimed, At the pep assembly, there weren ' t any outsiders. Everyone was an important part of the action! Changes 13 Keeping With The Times At J.A The fashions of the 1985-86 school year took a new twist. The days of ruffles and dressing up were over, and everything was casual. Paisely was definitely in. These little de- signs could be found on anything from shirts and sweaters to pants and skirts. Even socks, purses, and pins were covered with those little squiggly shapes. The classic sweatshirt was a big hit for 86, usually coupled with an oversized shirt left untucked. The look was complete when worn with a pair of Guess jeans, either plain, flowered, or plaid. Costume jewelry hit an all-time high. Long beaded necklaces and broaches with multi-colored rhinestones adorned the stu- dents. The latest fad was a Swatch watch. Hairstyles for the girls turned modern. Short, blunt cuts were top fashion, but bobs and curls were popular also. As far as the guys were concerned, the punk style with curls in the back, and short up front. Coats varied from big, puffy jackets to long, black trenchcoats. The big emphasis was on scarves and mittens. Bright colors in plaids, paisley, stripes, and checks were popular. The carefree styles of this year ' s fashion dominated the student body along with the faculty at J.A. nek, and Julie De w ' ld ones.

The 1985 Powderpuff game was a victo- ry for the junior class as they defeated both the freshmen and sophomores. In the first game against the freshmen, the junior girls struggled to beat them and did succeed due to an outstanding perfor- mance by Tricia Troester, who proved her athletic skill by completing almost every pass thrown. The freshmen, though quite aggressive, were defeated by a score of 14- 13. The second game between the sopho- mores and the seniors was close and excit- ing. Both classes scored one right after the other, but fortunately sophomore, Lara Johnson, was last to score which put the sophomores in the finals with a score of 14-13. The final game left the juniors vic- torious over the sophomores only by yard- age in overtime. 16 Powderpuff Spikin ' Seniors Prevail • John Adams ' fourth annual stag volley- ball tournament took place rather late in the year due to scheduling conflicts. De- spite the late date, the much anticipated matches delighted the eager fans. Last year ' s runner up, the seniors, defeated the sophomores in two straight games. The equally powerful juniors eliminated the freshmen with ea se, also in two games. After the preliminary rounds, the heavily favored seniors clashed with the juniors in the game of the year.

Stag Volleyball 17 WE ARE THE WORLD 1985-86 — a year filled with hope, expectation, tragedy, and rebirth. Most importantly, it was a time of unity throughout the nation as well as the entire world. Brotherhood and compassion for the human race became the primary concern in the hearts of many. Thanks to the several charity-centered events, including Live Aid (organized by Bob Geldof), we were able to assist the suffering nations in their hour of need. We not only gave our money, but we also gave our time and services to the victims of disasters such as those involved in the devastating earthquake in Mexico City. It stirred our emotions as spectators, but the great- est shock came when our nation viewed the heart-shattering explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. The nation, along with the families and friends, wept and mourned for the seven, heroic, American citizens killed in that incident. Disaster was not the only outcome of a trying year; it was accompanied by a genuine stride for global unity. President Ron- ald Reagan and U.S.S.R. Premier, Mikhail Gorbachev, met in Geneva to discuss the possibilities of a check on the arms race and the possibilities of establishing a mutual trust and friendship between the two countries. With the new Soviet leader Gorba- chev in office, these goals now seem within a reasonable reach. In a speech to the families and friends of the Challenger astronauts. President Reagan consoled them in their grief when he stated, The story of all human progress is one of a struggle against all odds.

Super Bowl, a Sunday tradition was once again the center of attention. What made it outstanding this year was the Chicago Bears and all the publicity that followed them. One advertising campaign caught up in the glorified action was Coke! Although changing the formula was considered a good move, the consumer was activated in protest, knowing what they wanted — classic Coke! So, this year the old formula is back as Coca-Cola Classic. Along with welcoming back old friends comes another of this year ' s triumphs — Halley ' s comet.

John Patrick On Center Stage The John Adams ' Drama Club rose to new heights this winter with their presen- tation of The Curious Savage, a three act comedy by John Patrick. Under the able direction of Mr. Richard Threet, the cast rehearsed for over two months. The show proved to be very rewarding for both the cast and the audience. Mrs. Savage, the lead, was played by Stacy Slabaugh. Mrs. Savage is an ex- tremely rich widow with three extremely greedy step-children. The Savage chil- dren (Marco Kennedy, Sarah Greene, and Barry Cloud) attempt to commit their mother to the Cloisters. It turns out that the Cloisters is an asylum run by Dr. Emmett (Tim Ehlers) and his assistant Miss Willie (Sharna Chapman). Strangely enough, Mrs. Savage enjoys the asylum and its inmates (Jill Wygant, Chris McNamera, Doug Behner, Doug Shaw, and Greta Fisher). When the in- mates and the Savage children are to- gether, however, the audience begins to wonder who really belongs in the asylum. But, like most comedies, The Curious Savage does have a happy ending. The greedy kids get what they deserve — no money. Mrs. Savage remains at the Cloisters and the inmates become normal. The unusual thing about this ending, howev- er, is that it makes the audience realize that normalicy is in the eye of the behold- er. So The Curious Sa vage was both fun- ny and touching, and the cast managed to make the audience cry as well as laugh. Upon first being admitted to the Cloisters, Mrs. Savage (Stacy Slabaugh) stubbornly tries to talk Dr. Emmett (Tim Ehlers) into letting her leave. ► Slightly over-protective of her teddy bear, Mrs. Sav- age smirks at Mrs. Willie (Sharna Chapman) who is trying to comfort her. The highly seductive Sarah Greene uses her charms to persuade Marco Kennedy and Barry Cloud into leaving their mother in the asylum. 22 Fall Play L 4 Accusing Dr. Emmett of stealing his mother ' s money, Marco Kennedy vents his anger at the ever peaceful Dr. Emmett who lsitens intently to his complaints, but with no thought of offering help to the enraged son. While Tim Ehlers tries to persuade Greta Fisher into telling what really happened to the money, Marco Kennedy grows more and more irrate. Listening intently to Stacy Slabaugh ' s speech on life in the normal world, Gayle Shaw, Chris McNa- mera, and Jill Wygant can ' t help but be amazed. Fall Play 23 Godspell: An Experience! The Fine Arts Department had its chance to shine in Adams ' auditorium as the musical Godspell was presented on May 1, 2, 3, and 4. The cast was rewarded for their eight weeks of hard work and dedication with four standing ovations as well as a feeling of contentment and pride in each show. Chris McNamara acted and sang beautifully as Jesus, and newcomer John Newell was excellent in his portrayal of John the Baptist Judas Iscariot. The other leads provided the necessary support for a good, solid cast, and the chorus joined with great energy and strengthened harmony. The directors of Godspell should be commended for tackling such a diffi- cult show. In the words of Mr. Przybysz, Godspell is one of the best shows at Ad- ams in recent years! This show left many people feeling happy and sad — sad to see the crucifixion of Christ, and happy be- cause of the beauty of Godspell.

Everyone seemed to be having a spectacular evening. Terri Landen adds, The acts were really good, and the Caba- ret was well worth attending. The John Adams students who participated in the Cabaret displayed a wide variety of talent. Jocelyn Kapsa played the piano and sang Amy Grant ' s Everywhere I Go. Fresh- man Kasi Bolden did an excellent job sing- ing Barbara Streisand ' s Evergreen. A few other vocalists sang songs from major broadway productions such as The Wiz and Fame. Rappin ' became a brand new fad in 1985. The CIA Crue, cons isting of Alfonzo Richmond, Chris Wilson, and Brian Mi Ion ' , rapped to a tune called The Game of Life. The show also consisted of two bands made of talented Adams ' musi- cians. The group. Paisley Death, sang Stacey Slabaugh sings and dances to a routine A which she choreographed herself. Jason and the Argonauts perform Chuck Berry ' s Johnny B. Goode. Ava Hall and Diana Grundy catch the audience ' s eye with a bit of humor and their dazzling attire. Mary Had a Little Lamb and Jason and the Argonauts performed Chuck Berry ' s Johnny B. Goode. Freshman Julie Tay- lor choreographed and performed a mod- ern dance to Whitney Houston ' s hot new single How Will I Know. Ava Hall knocked them dead with her performance of Out Here On My Own. Tony Wilson commented, The show was a hit, but the mistresses of ceremony, Diana Grundy and Ava Hall really added some finishing touches. Senior Andrea Darden closed out the show singing Home from The Wiz. The J.A.H.S. Cultural Awareness Society, sponsored by Mrs. Linda Murphy, de- served to be commended for preparing such a fine show. Jocelyn Kapsa plays the piano and sings Amy Grant ' s Everywhere I Go. ' 26 Cabaret Participation Earns Recognition Should all extra-curricular participants receive awards such as sweaters and chev- rons like athletes are awarded? This year John Adams answered that question quite plainly — yes. Counselor Rosalind Ellison worked with several other faculty mem- bers to start an awards program for al extra-curricular participants. Having made selective restrictions, all recipients had to meet certain standards before they received a monogram or chevron. April 15, 1986, was the big night. The program honored the following extra-curricular ac- tivities: Band, Choir, Debate, Drama, Or- chestra, Quiz Bowl, Footprints, National Honor Society, Publications, Student Government, Ushers ' Club, and Scholar- ship for those students with a G.P.A. above 3.6. Mr. Przybysz stated during the program, this is great; this will definitely be an annual project. The program was a hit and everyone was excited about the idea. Ann Belts, Sue Hobing, Sarah Greene, and Bran- don Hudson are pleased to receive their scholar- a ship chevrons.

Like many seniors who found the class tething other than they expected, Michele was put at ease by dropping physics after the first semester. These experiences and many others were common events in the classrooms at Adams. Not only did students find that some of the best times were spent with peers, but also with fac- ulty and staff members. Highly respected for its academic excel- lence, John Adams boasts one of the finest crops of teachers in the area. Although some teachers were easy-going and allowed the stu- dent to mature freely, others were strict and very demanding in order to make each teenager grow to his highest potential. No matter what the teacher ' s personality was, the student re- ceived endless help from those who stayed after school, came early in the morning, or gave up his lunch hour in order to give that extra help when he really didn ' t have to. That open show- ing of concern, along with limitless patience, trust, and friendship, made each student ' s aca- demic career The Best of Times.

Fac-n-A b Division 35 Men Of The Year John Adams thrived this year due to the great care and ability of three men. The men responsible for our successful year are head principal, William Przybysz, and his assistants, Andrew Bibbs and Donald Da- vid. They supported the personal growth of the students as well as backed the many school groups and activities. Mr. Przybysz was in charge of community and public relations. Mr. Bibbs and Mr. David were in charge of the discipline and behavior problems between the students. Despite their seperate duties, all three principals had one cause: they united the faculty, administrators, staff, and students, more- over, they upheld the good reputation of John Adams and put a great emphasis on students striving to be the best people they can be.

Behind the scenes at John Adams is a large and excellent staff consisting of secretaries, custodians, cafeteria workers, librarians, para-professional, and nurses, which plays an integral part in keeping the school running smoothly. The guidance counselors took on a new challange in 1986-computer scheduling. The librarians were ever ready to lend a hand in locating necessary library materi- als, while the custodial staff managed to clean up after a student body of 1500. Feeding hundreds daily, the cafeteria workers served students their food with a smile and the secretaries kept the office running smoothly and efficiently. The nurse was always there when that head- ache became unbearable and the para- professionals were ever ready to direct those poor lost souls often seen wandering the halls during classes. Deserving much credit for a successful year, the staff is worthy of all the praise we can give them. 4 Mrs. Weldy OK ' s a doctor ' s appointment for Tracey Robinson.

Two new teachers, Mrs. Rickels and Mr. Good, contributed not only their teaching skills, but also much concern for their students and new ideas in their area. Miss Cwidak ' s temporary leave brought about a changing of the guard: Mrs. Hoff- man and Mrs. Germano became co-de- partment heads. An innovative, new com- We ' re taking a look at our entire pro- gram, stabilizing those areas already strong, and creating a more unified cur- puter lab contributed greatly to the exce lence of the program. By using the com- puters, students were able to work at their own pace and cover the areas which need- ed the most attention. Although Adams ' has a strong English department, the program must continually be studied and strengthened. The key to a successful English class is growth. The stu- dents grows in his ability to understand and interpret the aspects of life presented in literature, and the teacher assists him in that understanding and sees the results of his work. These sophomores are amused by interpretation of literature. With The Times Mr. Kline seems to be slightly perturbed with Laura Glumb. Mrs. Mankowski takes time to explain an impo point to her class. 48 English Department Recipient of the Hoosier Teacher Award, Mrs. Germano teaches each of her classes with interest « and dedication.

A English Department 49 Bridging A Gap Between Cultures The John Adams foreign language de- partment once again proved to be a suc- cess by introducing high school students to the languages of German, Spanish, French, and Latin. Students realize that having a second language or maybe even a third language was challenging but was also very enjoyable. Senior Tracey Ste- ward said, I feel that I have learned a I feel that I have learned a great deal of the basic transitions to carry me through in the future. — Tracey Steward great deal of the basic transitions to carry me through in the future. Students also enjoyed speaking their learned languages to one another in the halls of the school and outside of school as well.

Home Ec Advances With The Time Home Economics — foods, clothing, child development, and other essential courses for every young lady who wants to be a good little wife and mother. Stop right there. The ads in the media say that women have come a long way. This statement is certainly true for the Home Economics Department at John Adams. The program was no longer geared to females who will make keeping house their full time jobs. Rather, males were encouraged to enroll in all aspects of the department and both men and women were taught the essentials for living on their own and maintaining a house. Foods courses, taught by Mrs. Patricia Flowers, explained how to do something as Many people think that cooking class is for girls, but guys have to eat too. — Tony Wilson. simple as reading a recipe to preparing gourmet dinners. Another important aspect of home eco- nomics is clothing. A clothing course does not necessarily need to be a tailoring class. It may simply teach the typical bachelor how to sew on a button when mom is no longer within a yell ' s reach. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace does not only teach clothing, but also parenting. Rearing a child is not like playing house. Child care skills are mandatory in raising a healthy baby into a young adult. The home economics courses offered at John Adams prepare students for indepen- dent lifestyles and are helpful in maintain- ing a low budget in the 80 ' s. Shawna Giger, Tracy Heflin, and Melinda Jones mix the ingredients for their chocolate cake. 52 Torrence Fitzpatrick and Robert Williams prove . that men also belong in the kitchen. Mrs. Wallace demonstrates how to apply inter- facing for her clothing students. Home Economics earning Technical Skills The Industrial Arts Department, like all departments, is becoming more sophisti- cated. For example, manufacturing tech- nology is being offered instead of machine shop. Manufacturing technology better prepares the industrial art student for the outside world along with the other new classes which are being offered. As Mr. Barry, the department head ex- plained, The South Bend area is convert- ing from being industrial oriented to ser- vice oriented. The changes made in the department now multiply the chances of the students succeeding after graduation.

They know, however, the importance of the subject matter; therefore, they find new methods of teaching and applying We ' re taking a step in the right direction by adding new curriculum, hoping to have continuity in the program. — Mr. Barn- brook, Department Head mathematical principles. There have been few changes to the cur- riculum of Mr. Barnbrook ' s department, but it seems that with the extremely flexi- ble guidelines set by the school system, teachers in the math department can influ- ence the students directly, from their own experience, which contributes to a much more complete education for the students involved. This can be seen in Mr. Hoff- man ' s new trigonometry class which offers the everyday applications of an age-old subject. On the other end of the spectrum is Mr. Bryan Flora ' s PASCAL computer class — a relatively new subject. But by no means are these the only examples of the math department ' s skill in applying theory to actual problems of every day life. Every teacher applied math at large to the world. Showing personal attention is one of the reasons that Adams ' teachers, like Mrs. Murphy, have such involved students. ounded!

Under the experienced leader- ship of director Mr. Rocco Germano, the orchestra turned out many surprises. Bringing home numerous awards from both the district and state instrumental contests, participating in the first annual IUSB Invitational Orchestra Festival, and taking a trip to hear the Chicago Sympho- ny perform in Chicago were just a few of the exciting things that happened for this year ' s orchestra.

John Adams has always had a fine pro- gram, the addition of a new weight room allowed not only students enrolled in the weight training course, but also team members to improve their muscle tone on up-to-date equipment which cost about $100,000. Tony Wilson stated, With the newly equipt weight room, athletics at John Adams should be more successful. Health is also a requirement for gradu- ation. Among the various units taught are drugs and alcohol, sex education, and life saving methods. Health and physical education are the right combination for graduation.

Special Education 61 The Complex World Of Science The Adams ' Science Department, head- ed by Mr. John Shanley, has always been exceptional. It routinely sends its students to national competitions and its graduates to the finest colleges. But the main reason that the science classes have remained so popular, according to the students, is the teachers, themselves. From Goodman to Wiand, Pantea to Longenecker, the diversity of the teaching staff adds to the excitement of science. Students learn about their universe — its components and processes.

Thus are able to form many friendships while still gaining knowledge in one specif- ic area. Not only do students attend the club meetings during activity period, many of them still find time to participate in func- tions outside of school which pertain to that one certain club. By meeting both inside and outside of school, most students are able to form those long lasting friend- ships which have developed through their clubs. Clubs are beneficial to students in gain- ing knowledge, friendships, and the matur- ity of being young adults. Bringing out these qualities in students help them to realize that their high school years are definitely The Best of Times.

A. students and staff with a book of memorable events. Putting together the yearbook, however, had been difficult, as co-editor Diane Ricker stated. She fur- ther said that the Album tried to present the school a collection of pictures and arti- cles that told the true story of the year ' s happenings. Leading the staff with Diane was co-editor Sarah Wilhelm. In order to prepare for the school year, both editors attended the Indiana University yearbook camp. Through the course of the year, Diane and Sarah dedicated their skills and time to help each member on the staff. Mrs. Maza, the yearbook sponsor, be- lieved that the Album Staff had a great responsibility because it publishes a book that cost over 517,000. Although the staff used every last minute before dead- lines, as co-editor Sarah Wilhelm said, the skills and determination of the staff made the 1986 Album a great success. Student Life editors. Holly Hedman and Karie Hor- vath, improved the opening section by adding more graphics and by including a wider variety of pictures. Co-editor Diane Ricker.

Yearbook 69 Tower Reports Student Interest The 1985-1986 Tower was brilliant in reporting the J. A. news to the teachers and staff as well as the student body. Leading the staff were co-editors Susan Hobing and Corrie Wolosin. The editors, along with the distribution staff consisting of first hour publications, made sure that the homeroom representatives delivered The Tower every other Friday to homeroom. According to Susan Hobing, the paper tried to keep on top of anything that was of interest to the student body such as fea- tures, opinions, news, and sports. Mrs. Maza, sponsor of the Tower, said that ev- ery year the Tower improves. The mem- bers try to cover every aspect of report- ing. Although most of their journalistic knowledge was gained through on-the-job experience, a few staff members attended newspaper seminars. Susan Hobing, who spent an intensive week studying newspa- per formats at Indiana University over the summer, came back to school in the fall with creative ideas including Eagle Epithats and a new design for the overall look of The Tower. Both Corrie Wolosin and Susan Hobing and the rest of the staff produced a top newspaper which was in- dictive not only of their journalistic skills, but also of their genuine interest in report- ing the events of the school.

Every student, however, wasn t eligible for N.H.S. membership, only those students who had accumulated a 3.5 GPA on a weighted scale, involved themselves in ex- tra-curricular activities, and participated in community service. In 1986, the Na- tional Honor Society continued to be in- volved in community related activities, according to sponsor Mrs. Maza. During Christmas vacation, members took part in Potowatomi ' s Zooltide. To encourage freshmen and sophomores to strive for academic achievement, N.H.S. sponsored a breakfast for both classes in which sever- al members performed a skit written ex- clusively by N.H.S. members. The club also became involved in the National Child Safety Council in which the mem- bers went to the mall and ran a booth which was to educate the public on the importance of safety, stated N.H.S.

In order to qualify for Quill and Scroll membership, the student must have participated actively in either Foot- prints, Tower, or Album. The student must also be in the upper third of his class and be a second semester juunior or senior. Quill and Scroll went under needed reor- ganization in 1986, stated sponsor Mrs. Maza. Once again the John Adams Quill and Scroll Chapter showed that its mem- bers were outstanding in their journalistic activities. Demonstrating academic and journalis- tic strength and involvement in the com- munity as well as school activities were accomplishments of both National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. Each showed its ideals and made them part of them- selves and its school.

According to sponsor, Mrs. Germano, All of the stu- dents involved created a product that all students were able to read and relate to. Footprints, which was the only literary magazine to win in national competition, involved a number of students in 1985- 1986. Jennifer VanEs, Kristi Gerren, and Richard Harrington led the staff as co- editors-in-chief. To help carry part of the load of the co-editors-in-chief were junior editor. Adam Bauer, and art editor, Mike Janovic. All of the officers in addition to the staff put together Footprints to in- clude every aspect of originality from po- ems, short stories, art works, to photos. After a year of vigorous writing and edit- ing, the Footprints staff again provided John Adams with another successful book of literary expression. Co-editors-in-chief.

The team represented the state of Indiana in the National Academic Whiz-Kid Competition in Dallas, Texas in May of 1985. Mr. Lantz, the team sponsor, stated that the Adams ' Quiz Bowl team was anticipated to be a formidable force in academic circles and it was. During the season, members met during activity peri- od and also every Tuesday and Thursday to practice trivia and to increase their speed at answering. Team member Rich- ard Primus said that Quiz Bowl was a lot of fun, and the team was great. Although the team composed mainly seniors, the 1986 Quiz Bowl team set the precedent for future Quiz Bowl teams. Team members patiently wait for the next round of questions and answers.

' s Students Student government played a major role in planning activities to unite the student body of John Adams. During the week of October 14, the student government held their annual Pride Week. The theme was John Adams; Alive with Pride . Each class was assigned a day to dress according to a sub-theme. The themes were: Fresh- men — Be All That You Can Be, Soph- omores - - Melting Pot, Juniors — Ole ' McDonald Had A Farm. and Sen- iors — Peace and Liberty. There were also pride links which were sold for ten cents a piece, and the money was donated to the Save The Lady campaign and to Farm Aid. Another beneficial project was the food drive. The drive was for the Fa- ther Payne Society and over 1,300 cans were collected. Other events were the Val- entine Carnation Sale, the winter semifor- mal, student exchange days with other high schools, and the student government elections in the spring and fall (for fresh- men). Student government also initiated a new program called Student Relations which enabled students to talk to one an- other about their problems, ideas, and concerns. These eager students carry just some of the many cans that were donated to the Father Payne Soci- ety. ► ▲ Meg Sweeney, Mrs. Lazzarra, Ruth Hanlon, Mr. give the number one sign after the successful Rensberger, Neil Lannuier, and Mrs. Katona campaign for Save Our Lady and Farm Aid.

Some of these included a dinner at Noble Ro- mans, a Roman wedding, a Roman ban- quet, and participation in a variety of games. The club also had many education- al benefits which attracted its members. Mrs. Hedman, the club ' s sponsor, claimed that Latin gives the student a better un- derstanding and the use of English. The club accomplished their activities under the leadership of President Lee May, Vice-president Steve Hartman, Secretary Kelly Keefe, and Treasurer M.C. Patton. As one club member, Liz Panzica stated, Latin Club not only taught us about the language, but it also promoted friend- ships. Lee May, Debbie Dabrowiak, Darrell Chen.

One of the club ' s activities was a trip to the Snite Museum where they took a tour through the French displays of paintings and sculptures. The club also went to a French play in April. The club increased its members ' knowl- edge of French culture, customs, and tra- ditions. One member felt that the club made me more interested in the language and country itself.

The highlight of the year was their trip to Chicago which they raised money for by selling candy sombre- ros. During their trip, they visited muse- ums and went to a Spanish restaurant. The club also held cultural activities such as competitive Spanish games and group work which involved Spanish music and speakers. Sophomore club member Gill Kruse pointed out that the Spanish Club is a good way to learn about Spanish cul- tures in an interesting way. The club raised its members knowledge of Mexico and Spain and other Spanish related sub- jects through fun and interesting methods.

A 82 Spanish Club German Club Helps Relive Memories The German Club was an important club in that it increased students ' knowl- edge of the history and culture of German speaking countries. The club, which was sponsored by Mrs. Hembrecht, accom- plished this goal through the leadership of President Chris McGill, Vice-president Ken Fisher, Secretary Judy Chmiel, and Treasurer Ron Reed. The members of the club gave presentations on certain aspects of German culture which included any- thing from history and geography to holi- days and food. The club also had a candy sale to help pay for their trip to Chicago during which they went to the German section of town, a German cafe, and a museum. In April, the club went to the Hans Haus for a German dinner and they held a German breakfast at the end of the year. One member of the club said, I think the German Club is fun, I get to relive the great times I had there, and I get to see films and pictures of the places I went.

The club changed its name to the Science and Nature Club. Co-sponsor Mr. Shanley stated that the club was renamed because the new title was more inclusive of topics and other science related to biol- ogy. During activity period, the twenty members did a variety of activities such as performing experiments and listening to Adams ' research students who were pre- paring to present their findings at the I.U. Medical Center, according to Mr. Long- necker who sponsors the Science and Na- ture Club with Mr. Shanley and Mr. Lantz. On certain days after school and Saturdays, the club met in order to take field trips which included a bird watch with the Audubon Society and a special backroom tour of the zoo. Undoubtedly, the Science and Nature Club prospered under its new name because the club stepped beyond the guidelines of biology to explore new and exciting science fields. Club members are captivated as Senior Don Marti probes the depths of science with his research pro- ject.

Besides having visits with speakers from the different areas of aviation and also one with the Army parachute team, the mem- bers also went on a field trip to Grissom Air Force Base. Under the leadership of President Mike Maggio, Vice-president David Rybicki, Secretary Jim Thompson, and Treasurer Bruce Russell, the members learned about control towers and weather stations and many other areas including aerodynamics. Mrs David, the club ' s spon- sor, acknowledged the fact that it is a unique opportunity for students from all backgrounds to share a common interest. The Astronomy Club attracted students who were interested in the study of the stars and other heavenly bodies. The club, under the guidance of President Judy Kulczar, Vice-president Linda Kulczar, Secretary Linda Brown, and Treasurer Pat Kelly, educated its members by pre- senting filmstrips and having speakers who talked on the subject of astronomy. The club also had a long standing project to transform the Tower into a planetarium. A benefactor to its members, the Astronomy Club increased their leadership skills. Mr. Moriarty, the club ' s sponsor, supported this by saying that the officers and the members run the club all by themselves.

The club gave instruction on basic speaking, planned for debate and speech contests, and practiced their speeches in front of the other mem- bers. Mr. Holmgren, the club ' s sponsor, commented that although contests are a lot of work, all of the students agree it is an interesting experience to speak in competi- tion with other students from other schools. The Debate Club also benefited students who were interested in a career involving decision making and proving a point with a strong argument to back up that point. The club was an advantage to is members in manv different areas. Officers Delsie Sutherland, Marco Kennedy, Jeff ► Gramza, and Lance Harris prepare for their next debate contest.

The club sponsor, Mr. Stahly, not only taught the new beginners how to play chess, but he also showed the more experienced players new strategies to help them improve their techniques and skills. The members enjoyed playing a game of chess while at the same time learned new moves and made their eyes keener to making winning decision moves. Mr. Stahly felt that chess is a good teach- ing tool and that it makes the student aware of many possible answers to a prob- lem. The students who were members of the Chess Club agreed that it was a worth- while activity which benefits the student in more ways than one. Kerry Fninklin gives Terry Bridgeman a few pointers while Anloine Wilson makes his next move. A Kin Fu Chan is deep in thought while deciding his winning move. Darmon Bond pauses from his chess game to smile because he knows that he will win.

The club carried out these activities under the guidance of President Meg Sweeney, Vice-President Anthony Johnson, Secretary Jason Hudson, and Treasurer Marisa Randazzo. The club printed the fall, winter, and spring sports schedules. They also took the responsibil- ity of purchasing and presenting Most Valuable Player trophies for all the school sports. Nick Zarate, a senior club mem- ber, felt that the club gives the students a chance to support all the sports, not just the one they excel in.

The members of the club, under the leadership of President John Johnson and Secretary David Billups, directed students and par- ents to their correct seats during games. The members also worked at the conces- sion stand selling food and drinks during the games. During activity periods the club planned ahead to decide who would work at each game. They worked out an organized plan so that each member was able to contribute his services to the school. Mrs. Austin, the club ' s sponsor, explained that the club is very beneficial to its members because they learn through experience how to contribute their services and at the same time learn how to cooper- ate and be patient with people. Percy Bell, Norman Lee, and David Billups are hard at work serving their demanding customers. 4 w I: Mrs. Austin, Serena Radley, Lorraine Thompson.

Due to the decrease of time spent in activity period, the club had a difficult time continuing their games from one activity period to the next. The challenge of adventure games, however, kept the club alive. The members of this club played games such as Dungeons and Dragons which involved strategy, tactics, survival, leadership, and adventure. Mr. Armstrong, the club ' s sponsor, claimed that most members enjoyed the challenge of adventure type games. The club not only helped its members improve their thought processes in solving problems, but it also offered them the thrill of adventure at the same time. Although difficult to continue the games from one ► activity period to the next, the War Games ' members attempt to play Dungeons and Dragons. k Chris Scanlon reads the instructions before he begins to play.

The club, sponsored by Mrs. Murphy, was led by President Rachelle Hetterson, Vice-President Ava Hall, Secretary Montrese Threatt, and Treasurer Nicki Clark. The members participated in dif- ferent activities to observe Martin Lu- ther King ' s birthday. In observation of Black History Month, the club gave a tribute to a local minority leader.

Or that if you were out on a Friday or Saturday evening, one out often cars around was driven by a drunk driver? These facts and others were the concerns of the John Adams SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) Chap- ter. President Kathy Lee said, We want to continue and improve the fight against drinking and driving. SADD made a great effort too with conferences, having guest speakers, holding two successful fund raising car washes and sponsoring a limo raffle in which three couples won a free limousine for transportation to and from the prom. Another event sponsored by SADD was a contract drive. These con- tracts were for students to sign with their parents stating that the teenager will call their parents if he or she has had too much to drink to drive home. The parent, in return, agreed to seek safe transportation if they themselves were ever in a situation where they had too much to drink, Vice- President Ann Betts said, The contract drives were a success. If students and their parents abided by them, SADD will have saved many important lives. A guest speaker, Mr. John Reed, stresses the hazards of drinking and driving at an assembly sponsored by John Adams. A Keri Anglemyer and Shannon Low show their support for SADD by checking coats at Jeremiah Sweeneys. ► SADD Row 1 M. Macmillan. L Feirick, S. Spite. C Martinez, T Miller, S. Lanier, P. Mullen, T.

A rhe Show Must Go On Once again the Drama Club proved to be the beneficial force behind the theatri- cal productions presented to John Adams. By participating and assisting in the winter play (The Curious Savage) and the Spring Musical (Godspell), its members displayed tremendous talent, skill, and determina- tion. President Jill Wygant said, To be in drama club you have to have a great amount of dedication because no matter what happens, the show must go on. This dedication was applied to tryouts, rehears- als, creating props, advertisements, fund raisers, and other things necessary for the play and musical to run smoothly. The J A Thespians were a select group of drama club members who earned points for par- ticipation in school and community pro- ductions. The president was Sarah Greene and the vice president was Chris McNa- mara.

Wright Drama and Thespians 93 Portraying Colorful Expressions There was one club in John Adams that expressed its creativity through golden sunsets, bright flowery meadows and tall gray buildings. The club was the art club and its members displayed their skills through their art works and projects, which included sketches, paintings, clay sculptures, and other designs. Senior Jenni Rhodes said, I feel that I expressed my- self more colorfully through my art. Al- though there weren ' t many activity per- iods for the club to meet, they did manage to arrange a mural painting for the hall- way by the school pool. The mural gave the club a chance to work together on one single art project that reflected all of their individual talents as well as their ability to work compatibly as a group. John Adams benefitted a great deal from the art club because of their artistical contribution to the school ' s walls, hall- ways, and the overall beauty of the school.

What was a good way to become better acquainted with everything in John Ad- ams including its many students? The pho- tography club was a great way. Darnell White said, When I was out taking pic- tures for an assignment, it was like a gate- way to meeting new people. The officers of the club were in charge of arranging field trips, photography exhibits, and keeping members informed about con- tests. During each meeting Mr. Marvin, the club sponsor, made up photography assignments and explained to them dark room procedures such as processing and printing. If the students were knowledge- able in the field of photography, they could advance to works dealing with scen- ics and model lighting. ow 1: Bob Brewer, John Newell Row 2: Darnell White, Wendy Levin, Kurt Brown, Sharon Horvath, arlene Pendergrass, Glenn Handley, Julia Aberli Row 3: John Farmer, Ralf Severloh, Alissa Dewitt, dith Godlewski, Missy Harris, Tony Walbert, Amy Richards, Lisa Jacks, Keri Beghan, Dawn Patur- ki, Debbie Wagner, Christine Wien, David Rozmarynowski.

Many students in John Adams found time to contribute great help to the school, the faculty, and the entire student body. May I help you? was the familiar chant of these dutiful students who worked in the office, the library, the study halls, and those who monitored the halls. The office aides worked in the offices of the princi- pal, the counselors, and attendance. They had the responsibilities of answering the phones, alerting teachers of calls, monitor- ing the switchboard, collecting attendance cards, and greeting visitors. Junior Angela McDonald said, The work was sometimes hectic but I learned many office proce- dures that I can use later on in my life. The study hall aids worked hourly with Mrs. Lazzara in maintaining accurate re- cords of student tardies, truancies, and in- school suspension assignments. Contribut- ing to an efficient, quiet educational atmo- sphere, hall monitor aids were assigned areas of the school to help maintain order during the class hours. The hall monitors were supervised by Mrs. Lazzara, Mr. Griffin, and Mr. Adelsberger. The library aids were responsible for monitoring the circulation desk by checking books in and out, helping students find materials, col- lecting overdue fines, putting magazines in their places, and making sure that the books on the shelves were in order. These student helpers were bombarded with many duties but they followed through with much eagerness and even had time to enjoy their work. Sophomore Nicole Byrd said, It was an experience that has been both busy and fun and it surely was one that 1 will never forget. Angie McDonald shows that one of the busiest duties of an office aid is answering the many phone calls Jo Adams receives. Mrs. Lazzara makes sure that Dawn Paturalski and Michelle Fisher have plenty of duties to fullfill during the study hall hour. Study Hall Aids: Row I — Betsy Gadd, Jenny Nash.

Aids 97 Year Round Fun There were eight girls in Adams that showed school and national pride while also providing entertainment for the school body. These girls, led by Captain Sarah Greene, were members of flag squad. They performed in pre-game shows for basketball and football games and also performed in half-time shows. Their pre- game shows consisted of presenting the American flag and the school colors for the national anthem at home games. The squad began its season in the spring with tryouts and prepared for the school year by attending the marching auxilary camp for five days. They also practiced with the band and greatly enhanced their perfor- mances not only during games, but also in parades such as the Ethnic Festival and other functions. The only activity at John Adams that existed for the entire year was the pom pon squad. The squad began its year in the spring with tryouts for two weeks in which 16 members and 4 alternates were chosen for the following school year. The squad then practiced during the summer in the mornings at either JoAnn Brines Dance Studio or on the lawn outside school. I.U. Bloomington, which has been the summer camp choice of the girls for the past two years, was the next stop. There they learned about thirty routines and returned with several individual ribbons. From Au- gust through the first nine weeks of school, the squad practiced with the band in prep- aration for the fotoball season. At this time Adams ' fans got their first view of all the hard work put into the routines. Next, there ' s the half-time shows at the games and pep assemblies. Pom member Michele Lehman said, I like doing something to entertain the kids at half-time. This year ' s squad, led by Laura McCahill and Pom Moms Linda Hamman and Sherry Wilson, also performed in the Ethnic Fes- tival Parade, the Holiday Tourney, basket- ball sectionals, the pom pon squad certain- ly had their work cut out for them, but as Laura McCahill said, The hard work and dedication pays off by the people you meet through the year, not only new girls on the squad, but people all around. From Au- gust to March, being a pompon is year round fun as remarked at the end of the II tl ll 1 limn fjQ _ SOti --) At halftime shows, Adriann Booth and the rest of the squad has to concentrate on remembering their rou- tines as well as remembering to always smile. One duty of the flag squad is capturing the entire audience ' s attention at the beginning of each game. 98 Poms And Flags Flag squad: Row 1 — Lori Osmanski, Courtney Phillips row 2 — Mary Kline, Leslie Jennings row 3 — Sarah Greene.

Under third year coach, Cleo Kilgore, the team claimed both the Sectional and Regional Cham- pionships, along with taking Semi-State Runner-up. After losing three varsity play- ers to graduation, the team still retained its high standards of excellence that have become the Eagle tradition. With several returning starters and some new talent, the Eagles dominated the local tennis scene Junior Ted McNally anticipates his opponent ' s next move. with their intensity, skill, and determina- tion. Placing a runner-up position in NIC play, the Eagles demonstrated their team of talent. Karl Roemer and Guy Hamilton were named first and second team All- NIC respectively, and the doubles team of Tim Foley and Chris Butler was named first team All-NIC respectively. As this years MVP, senior co-captain Tim De- vetski went undefeated in the regular sea- son. As the season drew to end, each of the players could reflect back on a very suc- cessful and victorious season.

With a team comprised of both old talent and several new comers, the Seagals dove into their season with enthusiasm and dedication. The hours in the pool, both early in the morning and after school, gave the girls not only a hard workout, but also lasting friendships. The key to the girls ' successes came in the form of teamwork. Starting off the season on the right foot, the Seagals beat Culver by a score of 101- 60.

The teams victories, including two shut out games against Washington and Clay, reflected the determination with which the players faced their season. Getting off to a slow start with two losses early in the sea- son, the B-teamers ended their season on a high note, and with great hopes for a suc- cessful future at Adams. 4 Trying to block a pass on the third down, the fresh- men defensive line shows their hustle against Clay The inexperience of this year ' s frosh football team was the main contributor in the overall season record of wins and eight losses. Under coaches Mann, Wat- kins, and Williams, the team did, however, build the strong foundation for a success- ful future. The season can be looked upon as a building block and a step in the right direction. The experiences gained by the newcomers will be beneficial to them in their years to come in Adams ' football.

They overcame the injuries of linemen Dave Zielinski and Tom Molnar. Senior Jeff Mitchell lead the team as quarterback turning in a successful season making 2nd team all N.I.C. Jeff used his two favorite receivers, junior Tony Wilson and senior Ron Chrobot, to gain a great amount of yards passing. The team also had an awe- some backfield, the highly touted Bruise Brothers consisting of Lamon Clark and Anthony Johnson. Between the two of them, they made all N.I.C. 1st team in five positions. Anthony Johnson also won the Most Valuable Player Award in the Northern Indiana Conference. The offen- sive line also turned in an impressive sea- son with Stoney Suski and Mike Turley making all-state honorable mention, and Scott Miller filling in for Tom Molnar. The defensive line assisted in the success- ful season for the Eagles by only allowing an average of nine points per game. The 1985 varsity football team pulled through with an unforgetable season.

Varsity Football 111 Learning the technique of competitive volleyball and becoming a respected team all takes Practice Still learning the skills of competitive volleyball, this year ' s Frosh and B vol- leyball teams shared in both the sweet taste of victory and the anguish of defeat. Under the direction of first year coach, Debby Tomchaney, the B team com- piled a season record of seven wins and eight losses. Their matches, including some very close games, demonstrated their fine tuned skills and hours of practice. The forceful way in which they played will prove useful in the future for John Adams ' volleyball. The freshmen team, under first year coach Mary Kovatch, set themselves up for a fairly victorious season, mastering not only the skills of competition, but also the desire to win. The frosh team marked their season with an eight to five record. Their eight to three conference record promised a future of talent with their up and coming years in Adams ' volleyball. Although both teams still have several hours of practice and game experience ahead, each player has benefited by play- ing on the preliminary squads and have begun to learn the determination and dedi- cation it takes to play on a high school team.

Those dreaded words that every athlete scrinches at but must endure. For the 1985 varsity volleyball team it meant working hard to build a strong foundation. As freshmen, the girls found out what it meant to play on a high school team and learned the techniques of competitive volleyball. Dur- ing their sophomore and junior years they strengthened the roudiments of the game by practicing to perfect their skills. When six of the girls on the squad returned to play their senior year, they used their strong foundation to compete in a very impressive season. But all the work came to a rather disap- pointing end. Even though they earned a highly respectable record of 17-11 overall and 6-3 in conference play, the team mem- bers were not satisfied. Co-captain Tammy Brittian said of the disappointing season, I really expected us to be more I really expected us to be more than good this year. — Tammy Brittian It was a good season, but not as ;ood as I had hoped. — Marissa Ran- iazzo St. Joseph Penn 14-16, Mishawaka Concord Marian 15-12 St. Joseph Culver Elk.

After a tough loss to the highly ranked Saint Joseph team, the girls ended their season with an impressive record and two tournament honors. On the personal aspect, the Eagles had a remarkable year also. Co-captain Marissa Randazzo finished the year on the first team NIC as hitter.

Despite these many loses, however, everyone continually pulled with Enthusiastic Strokes The 1985-86 swim season for the Sea- gles was a disappointing one, but it was not without several highlights. The team man- aged only a 2-1 1 record with wins against Washington and Clay. Three of the losses were to teams that placed first, third, and eighth in the state. At sectionals, the team was able to end the year on a high note. They placed fourth overall out of a field of eleven. Key individual performances at this meet and for the whole season were turned in by co- captains Pat Brothers and P.H. Mullen, Jeff Terlep, Rusty Cobb, and Larry Piser. Mullen qualified for the state champion- ships in the 200 and 500 free by placing second and third, respectively. Piser quali- fied for the state diving championships by placing third. The team was led this year by first year coaches Mary Cooper and Elizabeth Sech- rist, both Adams graduates. Junior PH.

Tim Nemeth and Tom Kurzhal coached the girls to many great victories. The girls opened their season, losing the first three non-conference games against top caliber teams. The Lady Eagles knew that in order to reach their goals they had to pull together and work hard. Coach Ne- meth comments, It took a lot of character for the girls to go undefeated after Christ- mas. They could have given up, but the experienced seniors showed great leader- ship in steering the team to a NIC co- championship. The Lady Eagles ended their season with a record of 13 and 7 and a conference record of 8 and 1. They received the NIC co-champion trophy and sectional runner- up. The awards went to MVP co-winners Diana Grundy and Terri Landen and Kiwanis went also to Terri. The Junior Varsity also finished with a good season. The girls worked hard and ended with a respected 1 1 and 8 record. Great performances were turned in by all the girls proving that next year should be a prosperous season. Something new for the Adam ' s sport ' s program was the addition of the freshmen girl ' s basketball team. The girl ' s started late so they had little time to prepare as well as they could, but did their best and ended the season with a 2 and 8 record.

They work well together and have a lot of Talent This year ' s Junior Varsity and Fresh- men boy ' s basketball teams once again proved to be the best in the area. Their talent showed with no doubt that their skills along with their endurance will con- tinue to grow and develop in the years to come. Next year ' s varsity team should see many of these faces on the court. Junior Varsity, coached by Mark Ward, had a rough season with many ups and downs. The team was upset in mid-season by the loss of many players but bounced back to finish with a 10 and 10 record and a 5 and 4 conference record. Even though the season did not go as well as the team expected, they pulled together and brought home the championship trophy. The freshmen team had an excellent season and there was no doubt that they were on top. Coached by Dennis Tansey, the freshman had a record of 1 5 and 3 and consistantly overpowered the opposition, with all three losses within a 1 or 2 point margin. They sailed through the tourna- ment and ended up St. Joe Valley Champs. Terry Burton jumps over the opponent and scores another successful two points. ► Freshmen team — Row 1: Kevin Kaeppler, Peter Tulchinsky, Gary Watkins, Torrence Rice, Chris McGrew, Doug Naylor, Rolando Tolbert, Tyrie Giden, Norman Lee, Mgr.

T Adams has always been recognized for the basketball talent that has rocked Hadaway ' s shack. This year was no differ- ent, even though the season was predicted to be an off year for John Adams. Coming back from last year ' s pre-season 1 rank- ing and sectional loss, the team was down and the spirit was low. But this didn ' t stop the Eagles, and even the loss of starting players couldn ' t stop the guys from do- ing their best. Respected by everyone for their team- work and good leadership, they won games that they were predicted to lose. Excellant performances were put in by co-captains Ron Chrobot and Jeff Mitchell and also a great group of underclassmen. Games like Warsaw and Riley forced people to take notice and see the talent that the Eagles possessed. With only four seniors lost to graduation, the team will have the exper- ience needed to be a super squad next year. All-Metro awards and all NIC went to co-captains Jeff Mitchell and Ron Chro- bot. The Kiwanis went to Jeff while Ron captured the MVP. Tony Wilson was named best defensive player and had most reboun ds while Charles Swartz received his medal for good sportsmanship. The squad pulled through a tough season with a seasonal record of 1 1 and 1 1 and a con- ference record of 4 and 5. They brought home a sectional runner-up trophy. F The season was rough at first, but we just took it one game at a time. We stayed determined through it all. Co-Captain Ron Chrobot Teamwork is what got us through.

It was our team effort and sportsmanship that allowed us to triumph in our own special way . . . That was our Accomplishment Although finishing with a victorious season, the hockey team suffered a tough let down during their last few games. Under the coaching of Jeff Wharton and the leadership of Captain Brendan Max, the team ' s final record was 15-13-1. One of the major disappointments for the team was that towards the end of the sea- son, they lost four games in a row. This feeling of frustration is well-stated by junior Kevin Max. We should have finished the season with better standings than we had. The four losses caused our determination and confidence to dimin- ish. These defeats were untimely because of the upcoming playoffs. However, this basically young team had, overall, a very successful season. This year ' s team showed quite an improvement from previous years. Being the relatively young team that they were, they played well. N iles junior, Chris Gabriel, and one of his teammates steal the puck from their opponent as senior Captain Brendan Max comes back to assist while the Adams goalie looks on. After a futile attempt by his opponent to steal the ► puck, sophomore Rick Barnes, anticipating another oncoming defender, hustles aggressively towards the goal. 126 Hockey Adams Opponent DeSales 8 1 Penn 3 7 Homewood 6 3 Riley 3 2 Bishop Noll 6 2 Bloomington 3 5 Warren Central 8 13 Lake Central 9 2 Clay 2 1 Culver 1 3 Homewood 6 McNamara 6 1 Riley 4 5 Clay 2 2 Penn 9 3 Lawerence Ce ntra 1 3 Culver 7 3 Penn 7 3 Riley 2 3 Culver 2 5 Clay 2 4 The team recor d wasn ' t ■ w . . d m great but we 1 i% W realK put forth a sup erb effort W ' W M this season.

This is really what prevented us from living up to our high Ambitions As the John Adams wrestlers took the mat this season, victories were expected since ten lettermen returned to the team. Both wrestlers and coaches had high hopes for the 1985-86 season. A mid-year assistant coaching change, however, led to a frustrating sason for the second year head coach, Rollie Li- cherowicz. Also, a failure to get as a team might have contributed to a 1-14-1 record while tying for eighth place in the confer- ence. Despite their lack of team unity, senior Troy Lentz, captain of the team, was a qualifier or the regional competition. Next year, the John Adams wrestling squad hopes to improve its record and its reputation. There were many young mem- bers on the team this year that will hope- fully serve as a solid foundation upon which to build a future team. The upper- classmen, with their experience and their maturity, will guide the incoming fresh- man to a victorious season.

Returning lettermen, Lyletta Robinson, Julie Stevens, Terri Forrest, Nicki Clark, Shelly Biggs, and Kristin Sonneborn, provided the team with price- less leadership and experience and were supported by the talents of the impressive newcomers. Perhaps the brightest new- comers were two freshmen, Kasi Bolden and Cathy Cane. From Edison, these freshmen brought their skill, speed, and spirit. Lara Johnson commented on the freshmen, I ' m really glad they ' re on the team. They are fast runners and they add a lot to our team. Along with this young talent came the return of four year letter- winner Lyletta Robinson in the field events and Dawn Sivak, the number one runner in the 800 meter.

Glenn Watson was a spirited leader for the youn- ger team members, while Jason Yazel, Todd Leopold, and Jevon Williams were captains. In 1 10 high hurdles and 300 low hurdles, Watson was a major force. The relay team, composed of seniors Lance Newsome, Don Walls, John Johnson, and Jevon Williams was yet another high point in competition. The more experienced seniors ended, however, in the field team. The overall field members were underclassmen. The pole-vaulters, for example, were all in their first year on the team. Senior Jason Yazel and junior Tommy Taylor anchored the distance team. Fresh- man Prescott Woodard showed fantastic potential having won the Junior Varsity Invitational. The team ' s overall strength can be attributed to Coach Hamilton ' s great efforts.

Though we often go unnoticed, the junior varsity baseball team has goals every bit as high as those of the varsity. It is this attitude that gives us tremendous Potential Although inexperienced, the 1986 boys ' junior varsity baseball team certainly showed potential. Among the team ' s new- comers was Coach Jim Kominkiewicz. Coach worked them hard and taught them how to begin to play as a team. Because many of the more experienced sophomores were brought up to the varsity level, the team was left somewhat defi- cient. They pulled through the season, with 6 wins and 8 losses in their conference and 9 wins, 1 1 losses overall. Major forces for the team were sopho- more Jim Cowen and freshmen Mark Na- varre, Peter Tulchinsky, and Bobby Ben- nett. As Coach Kominkiewicz put it, They played to the best of their abilities. They always hustled, and they worked hard for their successes. The catcher hopes for a strike, but David Colby smashes yet another base hit.

Junior Varsity Baseball 137 Any baseball team knows the importance of concentration. This year ' s team at Adams was especially conscious of a need for thought as well as talent. It was this goal that moved the team toward Flawless Execution The John Adams 1986 baseball team began its season well, but suddenly fell into a slump. This year ' s team had a lot of determination to make a new start, but they couldn ' t seem to get any breaks. With injured senior catcher, Tom Molnar, out for the season, it seemed as if all would be lost. Back up catchers David Slabaugh and Mike Buczkowski put forth great ef- forts in filling the position. The team was lead, once again, by Coach Len Bucz- kowski with new junior varsity Coach Jim Kominkiewicz. Without their great help, the team would have had trouble perform- ing as well as they did. The senior co- captains brought new strength to the team through their skill and enthusiasm. Mike Halterman and Ryan Roth proved to be two great leaders for this year ' s team. Many other players, too, showed spectacu- lar ability. Seniors Scott Wilcox, Tom Ro- sheck, and Chris McGill demonstrated, once again, the strengths which made them lettermen. Outstanding junior play- ers were Sean Gray, and John Rhoutsong, while sophomore Ken Norris, and fresh- man sensation Gary Watkins also showed great potential. The team, overall, worked to change their past faults and create a better season. Coach Buczkowski points out the finer points of Scolt Wilcox concentrates on the pitch as he pre- pares to hit a homerun if not a base hit.

The Eagles started their season with an 1 1 to 4 win over rival team, St. Joseph. From there, the girls started on a somewhat rocky path, and they ended their season with an overall conference record at 5 wins and 4 losses. In Mishawaka ' s Sectional Tournament, the Eagles were victorious when they de- feated the Cavemen 1-0, giving them their only NIC loss. In South Bend ' s Sectionals, the girls pulled through and won all three rounds against very tough teams. Coached again this year by Bryan Flora, the girls were led by co-captains Tammy Brittain, Rae Hetterson, and Terri Lan- den. Juniors Patty Dennin and Kathy McMahon also demonstrated great play- ing abilities this year. Molly Lennon and Megan Maloney led the youth for the new team, while former starters Varre Watkins and Amy Golden were injured at the start of the season. Overall, the success of the team was earned by every member. Jill Cutter guards second base as the opponent begins to lead off. Awaiting the next hit, Kathy ready to run to third base.

Softball 141 ' One of the interesting aspects of golf is that it is both an individual and team effort. The goal of this team in the future is to improve that simultaneous cooperation and work towards a Winning Drive The 1986 golf season was a period of learning for the Eagles with three fresh- men in the top six players. Joe Dennen, Kevin Kaeppler, and Bobby Bushman led the freshmen in a tremendous season. The underclassmen continued for the Eagles with the strength of sophomore Steve Ziol- kowski and juniors Guy Hamilton and Tim Foley. The lone senior was Chris Balint. Balint showed great leadership and strive for the underclassmen this year. He showed the proper stroke form which en- abled him to shoot a whole in one during practice. This will hopefully become a trend for the rest of the team to follow in forth coming seasons. Overall, the season would, again, be marked by a need for rebuilding, as the linksters worked above their skills to bring the team new depth. Guy Hamilton, Joe Dennen.

Although they suffered the disappointment of the opening round city tournament loss in 1985, the boys came back to win the first eleven games of the new season, their only loss being to St. Joe. Coached once again this year by Jim Tallman and assistant coach John Croy, the Eagles were tough enough to come back. The Eagles missed former all stars such as Kurt Roemer and Jason Ugland. They recovered well, however, with the help of seniors Brenden Max and Patrick Woodard and juniors Matt Kelly, Kevin Max, Adam Friend, and Ricardo Fallon on the ever-strong of- fensive attack. At midfield, outstanding senior Anthony Johnson and junior Joe Loux demonstrated control and speed. The strength of the defense, too, was over- powering this year. Led by seniors Bran- don Hudson (in goal), Jason Hudson, Ken Cunningham, and Matt Helmkamp, junior Mike Trott, and sophomore Karl Roemer, the defense proved to be the Eagles ' dead- liest weapon. Overall, the 1986 boys ' soc- cer team will be forever marked by its talent and skill. Senior Brenden Max maneuvers a take-away e from a Clay fullback.

Teenagers from the Northeast section of South Bend and Granger entered the doors of Adams to take part in the spirit and togetherness which transformed the school from a quiet and empty building into a place filled with friendships and laughter. This could not have happened, however, without the students, the people we call our friends. The variety of people that roamed the halls of J. A. helped in forming that special unity shared between the student body. Whether they were lost and confused freshmen or mature and independent sen- iors, almost everyone felt at home at Ad- ams. No matter who they were, there was a certain niche for them among the stu- dents who make the school what it is. The unique personalities helped make school more fun and definitely The Best of Times.

People Division 1 1 7 Freshmen Pedal Away Time The Class of 1 989 was and is Alive and Kicking. Their spirit showed in everything they did, from sports, to music, to academics. Along with the guidance of adult class sponsers Mrs. Gerhold and Mr. Panos, the freshmen class officers successfully led the class throughout the year. President Jackie May, Vice-President Amy Eslinger, Secretary Sarah Friend, and Treasurer Marta Roemer, carried their class through numerous activities, including the reborn pep assemblies. But along with the assemblies, freshmen found it hard to adjust to the lengthened school day and the shortened lunch hour. The freshmen participated in fund raisers, Spirit Week, and regular- ly attended all school activities. They followed the normal trend of competing in many sports and getting involved with their school. A large number tried out for the band and orchestra as hopeful music majors of the future. Marta Roemer summed up her year by stating, I heard alot of stories about how it is to be a freshman, like how bad it is, but I had a really great year. Upperclassmen were nice to me; I wasn ' t treated like a child, I was just another student. The freshmen showed they are ready and willing to take on every challenge and opportunity that John Adams has to offer. This year ' s class proved it was a integral part of the school and in the coming years will add to their many accomplishments.

The sophomores proved themselves a class to be reckoned with from the beginning. Their profitable candy sale netted over eight hundred dollars. They also beat the seniors at the annual Powder Puff football game before succumbing to the mighty juniors. They bounced right back, however, and won Pride Week, much to the astonishment of the ju- niors and seniors. The year was also a time for going out. For the first time many sophomores were able to ease into the driver ' s seat. Although a little nervous at first, driving soon became a regu- lar experience and then they truly knew what Friday nights were for. No longer did they have to wait for Mom to pick them up. Rath- er, after the game, they were headed for McDonald ' s, Off the Strip, or a party. The Semi-formal was also a new ex- perience for many. Asking that special girl to the dance or waiting to be asked caused fretting for a week or two, but the thrill of buying the perfect dress and the fun of the evening made the event an unforgettable experience. Following this year ' s example might prove to be a challenge to some, but to the class of ' 88, it was another year lived the Sophomore Way.

Many juniors agreed that the 85-86 school y ear was both the best year . . . and the hardest. Enthusiastically, each junior contributed a lit- tle part of himself in every activity the class accomplished. The Junior Powder Puff team showed their determination and spirit when they defeated the other classes and accomplished an overall win. Junior year held many special experiences for all, such as their first prom, driver ' s license, and part-time jobs. I really feel more mature and responsible this year. I think it ' s great to finally be an upperclassman. Under the superb leadership of President, P.H. Mullen, Vice-President, Guy Hamilton, secretary, Kevin Max, and treasurer, Julie Stante, the juniors worked together and success- fully raised money through the candy sale. The juniors have really pulled together as a group! I feel a greater sense of pride within the class this year. A promising group, the Class of ' 87 looks forward to an outstanding senior year!

What does it spell? Any person going to high school knows the meaning of this powerful word. This long awaited title has finally come for the class of 1986, and they never once let down the true spirit and meaning of the word. The senior class has proved for the fourth and final time its roaring spirit and strong pride for John Adams. The class led by President Meg Sweeney, Vice-Presi- dent Karie Horvath, Secretary Marisa Randazzo, and Treasurer Patrick Woo- dard, took on their endless responsibilities with a firm hand and proved they were capable of anything once they were on their own. The class entered Adams as timid, unknowing freshmen, but quickly rose above that as they proved their worth to the rest of the school. Freshmen year they proved their originality by selling the creative Eagle Pops and breaking the trend of the famous M M fund raisers. During their freshmen year, the class also showed great promises for the future in athletics and by their senior year, most of the teams were dominated by the seniors. Sophomore year was the year that the girl ' s Powderpuff team beat the seniors and went on to become the Powderpuff champions. As juniors, the class sponsored Stag Volleyball and held the school ' s first M.O.R.P. dance. This year was different from any other year. With the title of sen- ior there came several unexpected re- sponsibilities such as finding a part-time job, applying to college, preparing for graduation, and writing the dreaded term paper. As the class of 1986 leaves dear old J. A. for the last time, their minds will hopefully be filled with knowledge and four years of unforgettable memories. Who could possibly forget that certain breathtaking basketball game, writing mean, but funny Christmas and Valentine personals, attending the semi-formal or prom with that special guy or girl, staying out late for that wild party or skipping a class for the first time. The list of memo- ries could go on forever. The one memory which will stand out in everyone ' s mind is what great and rewarding school John Ad- ams proved to be. Vicc-Presidcnl Karie Horvath, Secretary Marisa Randazzo, and Treasurer Patrick Woodard show their service and dedication to class President Meg Sweeney.

Without their helping hands, the school, especially the Album, would not have been as prosperous during the 1985-1986 school year. Not only businesses, but also patrons have lead to John Adams success. By cheering at the basketball games and by signing their names to the patron page, the Adult Boosters and many other parents and faculty members showed support for the school in both athletics and academics.

As freshmen, we entered into J. A. as strangers. Facing an un- familiar building, teachers, and students, we felt that we were all alone. That feeling, however, didn ' t last long. The faces that were once unfamiliar soon be- came known, even our best friends. Finding high school dif- ferent from middle school, fresh- If 1 ■■ ' 3 ' jK j I 4£jm±j, V - ' mm ? talSEE Everybody ' s favorite Eagle, Mr. Przybysz has been principal for fourteen years. 2X4 closin s Dan Carter and Larissa Goldfand display their collection of photos featuring their best friends. men faced a variety of new exper- iences such as cheering on the win- ning football team or dressing up for spirit week. Along with the fun that high school brings, also comes responsibility. Encountering a tough curriculum by taking classes like algebra and biology, freshmen learned the pressure of homework. By facing the responsibilities of high school, they were able to de- velop a sense of maturity which would help them in the years to come. Having learned the ropes of high school, sophomore year was one of gaining independence, by sweating through the driver ' s test and get- ting to use the family car, sopho- mores discovered the purpose for Friday and Saturday nights. Turn- ing the sweet age of sixteen and Expressing the feelings that many students have at the end of the year, Dana Austin sings Day By A Day in the musical Godspell. getting one ' s first job also brought the hope of a later curfew. But the fun was not all out of school. Who would ever forget Mr. Aronson ' s geometry class or learning CPR in health? By sharing special times with friends both in and out of school, the sophomore year was one of the best. Junior year — the year for good times. Finally considered upper- classmen, juniors were no longer looked down upon and formed many close friendships with the seniors. Although beginning to think about life beyond high school, the realization that their high school careers were almost over did Singing in the rian, Tcri Taylor and Keri Cook let their crazy sides show when they think no one is A around. not click. Having too much fun dancing at Off the strip or going out to lunch at McDonald ' s, most did not want to think about it. Seniors, however, knew that the end was upon them. Struggling through college applications and fi- nancial aid forms, they began to make plans for the next year. Cliques were no longer as apparent. The seniors became a unified body John Adams is not only an institute for learning, but also a place to build friendships wanting to preserve the fondest memories of their high school years. No one will ever forget writ- ing his senior term paper, picking out his her dress or tux for the prom, or skipping on May 19th and spending the day with his friends. A year full of memories, senior year was definitely the best. Looking back, the 1985-86 school year was the best of times.

Sharing special moments with friends and family, each student at J.A. learned more about him- self not only from classroom in- struction but also through exper- iences which pushed him and made him grow to his greatest potential. Although the memo- ries of his high school years from the first day he entered the spa- cious halls of Adams until he re- ceived his diploma will never be forgotten; for many the best is yet to come. Closing 215 A Special Thank You Now that all of the pictures have been printed and the finish- ing touches have been made for the final deadline, we would like to thank everyone who has so generously devoted his time and patience in compiling this collection of memories together. First of all. we ' d like to thank the South Bend Tribune for supply- ing a few much needed football pictures and for helping us through a rather rough time. Jim Parker — our professional photographer from Indiana School Pictures. Not only did he take pictures during special events, but Jim was also always ready to help whenever we had a problem. Mr. Marvin Throughout the year, like any year, several small crises arose such as gray negatives or scratched prints. Mr. Marvin acted as our emergency clinic and showed much concern for the Al- bum through his actions. Mr. Allen also helped our pho- tographers greatly by taking color pictures, the choir groups, and other special events, many of which were at short notice. Mr. Jim Beckham, our Josten ' s representative, spent a week with us at workshop during the sum- mer. Beginning by helping us de- velop our theme. Mr. Beckham continued to advice us throughout the year on layouts, deadlines, and overall design. Mr. Alyea not only helped us by proofreading our pages and running errands, he also helped by just being a friend. Sally and Jack Wilhelm and Bernice and Dan Ricker. This year was more than any of us ex- pected. Thank you for your un- derstanding when we had to bor- row the car to make haphazard errands, work on pages until 1:00 in the morning, and for the love and concern you showed through- out the year. And finally, Mrs. Babette Maza. Although the year was work, all that we will remember are the fun and good times we had putting this book together. Tues- Q day and Thursday nights will nev- er be the same. What will you do without us? You know how we feel about you and all that you have done for us, especially those things that went beyond the year- book. A special thanks also goes to all of our teachers and those faculty members who were so understanding when emergencies came up and deadlines drew near. Although many people helped with the completion of the Album, those who really gave this book its own unique personality was the staff who worked so hard to put it together. At times, especially when deadlines were upon us and tolerance got short, working on this project was more sweat than enjoyment. But the unity share dby the staff allowed us to overcome any problem that arose. We thank each of you who truly devoted his time and efforts to produce a top- notch yearbook.
