This 1981 was the year that the video-games took the country by storm. Arcades seemed to be popping up overnight. Video-games were growing very popular. Some of the first video-games that came out were Space Invaders, Gunfighters, and Sea Wolf, but many people felt that today ' s games are more challenging. For a mere quarter, games such as Missile Command, Tempest, Donkey Kong, and Pac Man offer hours of fun, that is, if you can master the machines. Pac Man fever struck without warning. Soon, hundreds of people were flocking to the nearest arcades to gobble up all the cherries, Blinkies, Speedies, Clyeds, etc. that they found in their path. The game craze didn ' t end there. Home video- games were just as exciting and challenging as their cousins the arcades. The Atari and Odyssey games turned ordinary televisions into complete entertainment centers. Another game craze was the Rubik ' s Cube. Let ' s see now; just one more color. Oh, shoot, I thought this would be a lot easier. It looked easy enough. This maze of colors and squares can provide many hours of frustration and fascination. There are certain patterns and combinations that first must be figured out to solve the puzzJe. Of course, there is always the easy way to solving this box of baffling combinations — just take it apart! For those who would like to solve it legitimately, there is a solution book. Then again, one can always twist and turn the sides until they fall into place, but this just may take forever. Good Luck! There are millions of different combinations. Along with the invention of the Rubik ' s Cube has come other clever games, such as the Missing Link, Pyramid, and the Magic Snake. All of these are both unique and challenging in that they keep the mind interested and for the most part, quite confused. Dang it! I thought I had one side for sure. Now I ' ve messed up the whole thing. Oh, well. I will try again later! — Ann Shaw, Vince StovallO SOLUTION TO RUBIK ' S CUBE Ordinary televisions become an electronic playground in the home. This little cube and its companion book are the newest runaway best sellers everywhere. 8A Games vm Blocking the laser ' s beams to save your cities may be the object in Missile Command, but Dawn Kitzmiller and Mike Smith are just having fun. Taking the time out from their studies, Al and Vincent Stovall compete in a friendly game on their television. Arcades became a common meeting place for Leo students such as Theresa Minnich, Dawn Kitzmiller, and Deb Kerlin. Games Student Life - 9 fair f mi, f ooi friends Quiet, calm, and peaceful; these are words that might describe the town of Grabill 362 days of the year, but for the other three days, Grabill turns into a town buzzing with excitement and commotion. People stream into Grabill for the first day of the an- nual Grabill Country Fair. Every year over 100,000 peo- ple come to the little town of Grabill to take part in the fair. The Grabill Fair has been held for nine years, although at first people from the Grabill township were the only ones involved. Now the parade, crafts, music, food, and other activities draw people from Indianapolis to South Bend. Why do so many people come to Grabill for the country fair? Some people enjoy getting away from the big cities and coming to the fair where they can ex- perience the taste of old- fashioned living. Some come mainly for the food or to do some early Christmas shopping at one of the many display booths. Although the fair is only three days long, months of preparation are spent planning for the fair so that the fair can run smoothly and everyone can enjoy the fun. The Grabill fair has a grand total of thirty-seven food tents which offer enough food to satisfy any person ' s appetite. If one isn ' t in the mood for eating he can enter the watermelon contest, frog jumping contest, tug-of-war, or wife and husband calling con- tests. Contests are a big part of the fair. Even if one doesn ' t par- ticipate in one they are enjoyable to watch. On the last day of the fair, ex- citement fills the air as the mar- ching bands, clowns, and fire trucks get ready to start the parade. The parade grows larger and larger each year. It is a great beginning to the final day of the fair. This has been the best fair ever, was the reaction of many people. So if you ' re looking for ex- citement, food, or just a place to get away from it all, the Grabill Country Fair is for you. But as soon as the fair has come to an end, Grabill turns back into a quiet and peaceful town. — Karen Pfister □ Thoroughly famished from walking through the fair ' s attractions, Leigh Delagrange and Shelly Craig fill their plates at the taco salad bar.

Each day we dressed to a different theme. During that week we wore sweats, cowboy hats, and doctor uniforms. And then there was Punk Day! We donned punk glasses, safety pin earrings, dog col- lars, and anything else which looked punkish, including new psychedelic hair colors! But most of Spirit Week ' s activities did not take place during school. For weeks the competing classes had gathered either before or after school to prepare their floats, hall decorations, skits, and strategic plays for the Powder Puff game. On Wednesday the annual clash between the junior and senior puffers finally broke out. When all the dust finally cleared, it was discovered that the seniors had shut out the juniors by a 22-0 victory. On Thursday night the classes presented their skit, gifts, and floats, and then marched to the bonfire where a Churubusco Eagle was burned in effigy in anticipation of what was to happen the following night. Perhaps Theresa Minnich expressed it all when she said, Even though our spirit during the week was sometimes not as high as it could have been, this year ' s Homecoming turned out to be a really memorable one for seniors. — Vicki KeriinU 12 h Homecoming Week Student Life The flames of the roaring bonfire tower over the crowd Thursday night.

With a whole week of decorations, {crazy dress, and unbelieveable excite- jment, the spirit of the crowd was high. jHow could it not have been, especially ' when Matt Meinerding made a touchdown during the first 12 seconds of the game! From that point on, the crowd sat back and cheered their team on to an eventual 13-12 victory over the Churubusco Eagles. And then it was time for the halftime ceremonies. Some local residents had donated their old-fashioned autos to the [festivities in place of the traditional Trans Ams. The court members and the floats from each competing class, drove around to the opposite side of the track. The spectators waited intensely as the court paraded through the assemblage of drill squad members. When at last the anti- cipated moment arrived, Darlene Delagrange was announced as the new Homecoming queen. After the Lions ' smashing victory, many overjoyed fans filled the school to pick up their brand new ' 81 Oracles and to dance in the cafeteria to the beat of Dr. Feelgood. Sophomore Vincent Stovall expressed it all when he said, Getting the yearbook and going to the dance is a great way to end a great week! —Deb Kerlin □ Homecoming Night Student Life - 15 hate everything in the world.

There are forty-five members, who, each fall and spr- ing collaborate to present a great play. This fall, they chose to pro- duce the Curious Savage, a comedy. Before opening night, numerous details had to be taken care of. The major problem was the stage; there wasn ' t one! Due to the construction, a temporary stage had to be built in the south end of the gym to accommodate the players. The set crew also spent many long hours making sure everything was just right. Props needed to be found, costumes had to be made, and lighting had to be set up. The people involved in the actual performances put in many hours of practices in memorizing and rehearsing their parts until perfection was achiev- ed. These long hours took a lot of determination on the part of the eleven actors and other impor- tant members of the play. Eugene Liechty quipped, A play is very demanding, but the cast party makes it worth the work. In spite of all the challenges the Curious Savage was a unique experience. — Karen Pfister □ 717 This special cast works many long hours to produce the 1 rated daytime drama, General Hospital. Soap operas are daytime dramas which can become very addictive.

Dh, and on All My Children Carrie dumped Rick after she learned he vas marrying Betsy, who :aught him in bed with D aula. And on Ryan ' s Hope ... Among the most watched programs on the airwaves today, as many : ans call them, are the soaps. The title, soap opera, comes from back in the 30 ' s when the only sponsors for these radio programs were soap companies; the name stuck. It used to be that only housewives would admit to viewing the shows, but recently it seems as if everyone tunes in to catch up on their favorite soap. If a person happens to miss a day of the show, she can just turn to the guy sitting next to her and ask what happened! Several local residents have taken their soap opera mania a step further. Sharon Gabet, the sister of Leo ' s own Steven Gabet, appears on the daytime drama, The Edge of Night. Sharon portrays a somewhat villainous Raven Whitney. Another local resident who recently left the show, is Julia Bucheit of Ft. Wayne. Julia appeared on the soap All My Children, portraying Brook Cudahy. Freshman Wendy McDaniels explained the reasons she has General Hospitalitis. When she quipped, I love to see everyone ' s troubles of marriage, divorce, love, and jealousy because they make my problems seem smaller. Like the song says, I just can ' t cope, without my soap. ... and on Ryan ' s Hope, Pat performed emergency surgery on Arly, who slipped into a coma while Kim and Pat ' s plane made a crash landing. And on, Hey! I gotta go; General Hospital is on! —Vicki KerlinU These students gather in the library during Project Period to sneak a peek at their favorite soap. -photo by Michelle Yoder Soaps Student Life - 19 Constructing A Change Did you hear we are going to be bussed to Carroll or Woodlan because the school isn ' tfinished yet?! Oh really? I heard that we aren ' t going to start school until November, and so we won ' t get a summer vacation, except for two weeks. These were just a couple of the rumors that spread like wildfire during last sum- mer. However on August 31, the school doors opened on schedule, and students could be seen making their way to school. At first everyone was disappointed because the outer part of the building re- mained the same, but when they walked into the school, the changes knocked their socks off. There were brightly col- ored lockers and hallways. However, one thing did remain the same from last year — the trailers. As the school year progressed into winter, students were faced with the task of leaving the warm school to battle the bitter winds, freezing temperatures, and two foot snow drifts. Changes were also taking place apart from the construction. Students were no longer allowed to wander the halls during Working on our school can often be a very dirty and messy job, as this worker ' s clothes show. -photo by Todd Fuzy project period and after lunch. At first this idea was strongly opposed by the students, but everyone reluctantly made the necessary adjustments. Also gone were the days of quiet classrooms. Instead, the serene at- mosphere was replaced with jackham- mers, drills, and bulldozers. Teachers at times had to yell to be heard by their classes, and some students complained that studying was difficult. Along with the noise came the dust. One cold January day, the fire alarms suddenly went off. Students, most without their coats, poured into what seemed below zero degree weather. Soon it was discovered that the dust from the construction had caused the alarms to go off. Everyone laughed until sudden- ly, a mere two hours later, they erupted again. By this time the novelty of the dust-fire alarms was beginning to wear off. However, this was not the last time; once more that day the alarms clanged, although by then most students just ig- nored it. Fortunately, it was of the same origin. Another problem caused by the dust concerned contact wearers. Eyes became irritated and red. Contact wearers shared a common story when they went to the doctor, and he said, I see you go to Leo! Another major problem was with the air conditioners and heaters. During the fall, the air was turned up so high that students wore sweaters to school in nine- ty degree weather. When winter finally came, the air conditioning was still on! Finally around March, the problem was solved and the cool air was no longer a problem in most areas. Another hassle was the clocks. On any given day, as many as eight different times could be seen on the faces of eight different clocks. Students began using this as a reason as to why they were late to class, but teachers soon caught on and it stopped. The problem was solved when nearly everyone asked for and received a watch for Christmas. Presently the changes taking place became visible. Rooms began to evolve out of the dust and mess, and with the new rooms came . . . The Move. Boxes, desks, and papers were lugged from the inner core and the upstairs rooms into new rooms, most in the new jr. high area. Along with the moving into the new rooms came the destruction of the old ones. Walls from former classrooms formed an outer wall to protect the con- ; . 20 - Construction Student Life — photos by Mark Smith One of the construction port o-potties becomes a temporary hangout for these senior guys during one of the many unscheduled fire drills in the spring.

Slowly however, little say- ings began to appear on the walls, and then it was officially declared, by the students that is, as the graffiti wall. For nearly a week students decorated their once classroom walls. But because of the foul language that began to appear, students were prohibited from writing or painting on the wall. Tired arms were common among students this year because so many of the classrooms were spread throughout the building. It became nearly impossible for students to go from one end of the building and back in only five minutes. So students began taking the books they needed for the rest of the day to class. Blocked hallways only added to the problem. The hassles of construction didn ' t stop during school. The Drama Club had to Cont build their own stage to present their fall and spring productions. For the seniors, graduation, which was to have been held in the new gymnasium, was held once more in the old gym. Construction has brought strong growth to both the school and the com- munity. While Ft. Wayne schools are clos- ing down, Leo is adding on. A total of 1,100 students will be able to attend the 14.5 million dollar reconstructed school. Do you know that the new school is going to have a cafetorium and a new gym? There will also be a lot more room for athletics and other after school ac- tivities. Although the construction is a pain now, it will be worth it when it is all finished.

Jokingly, the seniors chanted, Liar! Cheater! Scum! repeatedly. Leaping into the air and cheering, the juniors were ecstatic at the announcement of their victory of the Class Tourney. When asked about the proceedings of the Tourney, Mr. Gabet stat ed, It went very smoothly. Even though some had to lose, everyone took it pretty well. At 5:30, on the evening of the Tourney, the gym began to fill with students from every grade, including some from the junior high, who could not compete, but enjoyed viewing the games. Excitement started to stir inside of everyone at the thought of the up and coming competi- tion. Beginning with several fast paced ping pong games, hard spiking volleyball, and the long stretch egg toss competi- tions, the tourney moved on to the other events such as handwalking, muscle- --,... f % r s -v . t r bound armwrestling, and fast breaking basketball. Summing up the evening was the mouth freezing ice cream eating con- test, and the daredeviling obstacle course. Scott Miller added his thoughts about the evening, The highlight of it all was Tricia Tappy ' s freethrow shots. However, there was one event that everyone could participate in: the knock down, drag out, tug-of-war. In unison, the total strength of the class could be pro- ven by this event. Apparently, though, the entire strength of the senior class was not proven. Todd Delagrange stated, I wish more of the senior class would have shown up. Other events that gained points for each class were section decoration, spirit and class participation. Each class was assigned a section of the bleachers for decoration, and the opportunity to show their spirit. Each class also had a color that represented them. The seniors wore 24 - Class Tourney Student Life The atmosphere in the gym is intense as Dr. Stuelpe signals to begin the final tug.

Class participation was judged on the tug-of-war and on the number of students that attended the Tourney from each class. When the final scores were tallied, there were: 17 points for the sophomores, 48 for the freshmen, 90 points for the seniors, and a winning 109 1 2 points for the juniors. After the Tourney, there was a two hour dance sponsored by the Student Council and was operated by Dr. J. and Company. Even though most students were exhausted from the physical exertion at the Tourney, all of the classes danced together with no hard feelings from the previous events of the evening. Jim Burns confessed his feelings about the whole evening, Personally, I thought it was fun, con- sidering who won! — Ann ShawH 26 - Class Tourney Student Life Dancing (?) to the beat of the Time Warp is one of the reasons students flocked to the dance after the Tourney.

BROWN BAG IT Whether you are in third or fourth period, waiting for the bell to ring can be excruciating. Your taste buds begin to tingle as visions of a Big Mac, pan pizza or a bologna sandwich fill your mind. The bell rings and the hall is filled with hungry peo- ple. You stop by your locker to pick up your lunch, that ' s right, you have brown bagged it. Brown bagging has become a very common way to eat lunch this year. Numerous reasons have caused students to take the extra time to pack their favorite food in a paper sack. Inflation accounts for many of the brown bags seen in the lunch room. Lunches sky-rocketed from fifty-five cents to eighty cents this year. Paying eighty cents per day can add up to one hundred and forty-four dollars in just one year, not including extra milk or the ala carte which students enjoy. Some other reasons are the long lunch lines and not enough places to sit. By the time you get your lunch, all the seats are filled, quipped Patty Roy. Brown bagging can be a big advantage because you can bring how much and what kind of food you want. It is just the thing for someone on a diet, or a picky eater. Some peo- ple enjoy things which other people may call sickening. For example, if the cooks served bananas and ketchup, or peanut butter and dill pickles, or milk mixed with pop, only a few students would eat. In some ways, however, brown bagging is not worth it. Getting up to fix your lunch before school can be hard when you are running late. What hap- pens if you forget your lunch? Then you have no lunch money. Also, put- ting a hot lunch together in a brown bag can be rather complex. So when the bell rings, the choice is yours. Eating in the cafeteria may fit your lifestyle perfectly, or brown bag- ging could be the solution to your lunch time blues. — Karen PfisterO Being removed from the depths of its safekeeping, a bag of goodies starts toward the cafeteria. Even the fast line can be long for those who didn ' t take the time to create their own lunches. 28A Brown Bagging The cafeteria floor becomes a temporary picnic ground for these seniors as they take part in the First Annual Senior Safari Picnic Extravaganza.

Members of the cast are scurrying about putting finishing touches on their make- up and costumes, making sure props are in place, and issuing each other last minute instruc- tions before the house lights des- cend. Then . . . total darkness. The crowd ceases talking and silence falls across the gym. My mouth suddenly becomes dry as I wait for my cue to go out on stage. As I mentally run through my lines, I remember all of Mr. Stover ' s instructions — project, enunciate, play out, etc. As I stand there, my mind wanders back to the very first practice and tryouts. I remember the thrill of finding my name on the cast list the day after tryouts. I recall the fun times, the tough practices, and the long nights spent working alongside the rest of the cast, to finish the set and lighting. Suddenly, I hear my cue. I stroll out on stage just like I ' ve done so many times before during prac- tice. The words seem to flow free- ly, despite all the nightmares I had of forgetting lines. Before I know it, it ' s time for curtain call. I can tell, as I look out into the au- dience at smiling faces and hear the rousing applause, that they had enjoyed the play. Exiting the stage, I, along with the rest of the cast, run out to meet friends and relatives who came to watch the performance. We rehash favorite scenes and congratulate fellow cast members on their memorable performances. The gym is silent again, except for the sounds of a few cast members who are making sure costumes and make-up are pro- perly put away.

After the court danced to the theme song Sweet Dreams, by Air Supply, the rest of the couples glided onto the dance floor to enjoy the variety of music, both fast and slow, which was provided by Unique Lighting and Sound. A late supper buffet was then served for any still hungry or thirsty people who enjoyed their snacks while strolling around the pool, which was sprinkled with floating candles. After the prom, the couples headed for a quick place to change clothes from formals to Calvins and Nikes, and then they went on to the after prom parties! There they played cards, talked about who came with whom, who came stag, what they wore, etc. As it neare d 4:00 a.m., most couples had either broken up and gone to sleep, or else headed out to breakfast and Pokagon Park for the remainder of the day. —Vicki KerlinD Displaying their tuxes on loan from Top Hat, Chris Kelley, Robbie Roberts and Jeff Smead model in the Junior High Commons.

One of the most coveted awards available to approximately 85 schools is the sport- smanship award presented by the NIAOA. Points were totaled for the entire year ' s athletic events, and the banner was awarded to Leo at the Awards Day ceremony. Brainpower Gets Respect No respect! A student gets ab- solutely no respect in this school! The athletes had a banquet in the fall, winter, and spring, but, hey, a hardworking studious type per- son gets nothin ' , absolutely nothin ' . Ah! How wrong you were, unidentified person who wishes to remain unknown (Redundant, I know!). As those students who survived the construction and the winter, the flood and the end of the year turmoil know, there is respect available for those studious-type persons. The ad- ministration and faculty got together and held the annual Awards Day ceremonies of the Jr. and Sr. High. Tuesday, May 25, 1982, 9:45:04 a.m. The Jr. High students marched their way towards the gym. Once there they plopped into the bleachers and waited. According to witnesses there was no gunfire; there were however quite a few awards. Awards were presented to many of the students who worked at being the best in the different classes. Several students also won the President ' s Physical Fitness Awards (we are checking to see whether or not any political hanky-panky was in- volved in this award). Dr. Stuelpe also presented honor roll awards and the Jr. High track awards were announced. The obscure Golden Guts awards were presented to Paul Lash and Wally Miazga.

Monday, May 24, 1982, 10:00:04:56 a.m. The day before the Jr. High riots, er, awards, the Senior High was presented with its awards. (Ah, the important stuff!) Not only did the academic sections of the building present awards, but some new additions were made this year. Mr. Richard Hartung presented the first Outstanding Science Student plaque to that lovable guy, Duane Guingrich. Several clubs presented awards including the one year old Speech Team, when Mr. Randy Artherhults, impec- cably attired in a three piece gray flannel suit, gave out pins and degrees to 12 speechies . Many seniors received scholar- ship awards. These included: Mark Neuhouser, Ray Pulver, Mike Bartle, Susan Hobson, Theresa Minnick, Patty Souder, Jim Burns, Rhonda Krugh, and Karen Herendeen. Susan Hugue- nard and Erin Doyle were also awarded Outstanding Art Student Awards due to their marvelous jobs in local, state, and national art shows. These two talented art- ists have placed in such shows as the Cedar Creek Women ' s Club show, St. Francis College Art Show, and the Leo High Art Show. No respect, huh?

Making sure homework is done and catching up on your favorite TV shows is the normal after school routine for many students. Others have jobs. So what is the reason why students want to fill their extra time with a job? Noted Beth Gottfried, Some people absolutely need a job like waiting tables to meet people and it is great taking home money every day. There are numerous reasons for a job. An extra income could help im- mensely in supplying an extra boost for college funds for someone who is serious about going to college. Perhaps the most important reason is for the social life, though. Going to Glenbrook and being flat broke is one of the worst feelings I have ever had, affirmed Guy Platter. The extra money can also be used for movies, games, or other activities which may become rather expensive. Having the money to go places and do things can be no fun if you don ' t have a car, truck, or van for transportation. Even if you are fortunate to have a car, gas money is still a problem, so a job seems like a wonderful idea. But there are some major problems that come along with all the extra money which is acquired. Keeping grades up can be a challenge. This may seem easy un- til it ' s attempted. Not much time can be alotted for homework. Trying to get school work done can cause a loss of sleep, which can be a disadvan- tage when trying to arise early for school. It ' s all just a vicious circle, Sharon Shepard moaned. In order to get 5 11 9 a job you need a car. But you can ' t get a car without money and you can ' t get money without a job. Overall a job can provide a sense of responsibility and a feel- ing of satisfaction when the job is done well. One can benefit in the long run when applying for a per- manent, full-time job. Ex- perience can look good on records. Breaking the routine of school has students swit- ching to the 5 to 9 way of life. — Karen Pfister — Ann ShawH 36 - Student Life Making sure the groceries are packed well and carried to the car safely is Danny Leslie ' s job at C C Market.

Proudly adjusting her son ' s tie, Mrs. Carnahan gives David a few words of advice. Eyes strained to see the first of the seniors as they entered the gym, two by two. The atmosphere vibrated with the sound of the band playing Pomp and Cir- cumstance and the rustle of the seniors as they filed into place. Soon all was quiet as Dr. Stuelpe began the ceremony by having Rod Cole deliver the Invocation. Let ' s bow our heads in prayer, said Rod. Dear Lord ... No sooner had he uttered these words when the fire alarm erupted with a loud clang, much to the amusement of the soon-to-be-graduates 38 - and their guests. This was only a sample of the memories the seniors had of their year. First there was the disease . It has no known cure and it hit everyone of dif- ferent shapes, backgrounds, and in- tellects. It spread like wildfire at the beginning of the year, and soon broke out in epidemic cases. As graduation time drew nearer, its effects became almost fatal! This tragic disease was . . .SENIORITIS! Said senior Vicki Kerlin, For a long time, watching Gilligan ' s Island re-runs, or going out with a group of friends seemed more important than studying for a World Lit. exam! Of course, with a lot of effort and determina- tion, one may have been able to over- come the malady. But then again, who really wanted to try? Along with the fun of senioritis came the realization of last-year costs. Senior pictures, cap and gown rental, t-shirts, graduation announcements, memory books, and other expenses all had to be paid for, most of the time from the Pre-graduation excite- ment builds in the cafeteria as Lisa Barnes, Kay Leeper, and Shelly Horn help each other don their gowns. Trying to decide which flowers they like the best, Yvonne Keller, Kelly Gar- man, Bobbi Klea, and Elizabeth Carpenter each pick a lavender colored rose from the bouquet. Enjoying a party given by his fellow classmates and teachers, John Lovett celebrates his last day as a senior. 39 The process of changing from senior to graduate is symbolized by the turn of a tassle. Here the seniors prepare to do just that. Having received her diploma, San- dy Bishop proudly shows Scott Box- berger her newly acquired sheepskin. ALARM pockets of parents. Finally the long awaited night arrived. Before the ceremony in the gym, the seniors met in the cafeteria. There they donned their caps and gowns and aided one another in making sure everything was on correctly. Pictures were snapped by admiring parents and students gathered in bunches to wish one another luck. Finally Mr. Heller gave the signal to line up. This was it! It had taken 13 years of schooling to reach this point, and now that it was here, it was met with mixed emotions. Confessed Lori Yoder, I keep thinking about how I ' ll miss my friends and that the same routine I ' ve been doing for 13 years has suddenly come to a stop. But then I remember that I will soon be opening new and exciting doors to my future, and I can ' t wait! After the alarm was shut off, and the Invocation given, the co-salutatorians, Mark Neuhouser and Susan Hobson, and valedictorian, Karen Herendeen, gave their speeches. The senior choir and the band performed, the class gift of the American and Indiana state flags was pre- sented, the class torch was passed, and 40 A Graduation Student Life Senior class president Al Stoval passes the torch of knowledge to incumbent senior president Guy Platter. Due to the incompletion of the new facilities, graduation was held one last time in the crowded and hot gymnasium. then it was time for the main event. Proudly the seniors marched to the stage and received their diplomas from Dr. Stuelpe, and a handshake from Dr. Daryl Yost. After this, Dr. Stuelpe then had the seniors stand and turn their tassles. They were now officially seniors of Leo High! As the graduated seniors paraded out of the gym, there erupted a loud roar. They were out of school! Afterwards, back in the cafeteria, there were con- gratulatory hugs and kisses as the graduates turned in their rented caps and gowns. Everybody always told me that your senior year is your best, and in a way it was. I ' ve grown in so many ways this year. It has been a great year! exclaimed newly graduated Ken Osborn. For every senior it was different — a memorable trip to Florida, a fun night out with friends, or even just an interesting lecture in Gabet ' s room. Whichever it was, each added to the memories that made this year spe- cial. — Vicki Kerlin, Karen Pfisterd After many hours of prac- tice, the 39 member choir, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Lebzelter, performs TVmes of Your Life.

Success By R Different Yardstick If success is measured in pride rather than victories, then the Varsity Football Team was very successful. Although the season began with disaster due to the loss of senior quarterback Jason Bufe, the Lions revealed their character by winning three of their first five games, and finishing with a respectable record of five wins and five losses. The Lions were led by four All- Conference seniors: David Christman, Tom Overmyer, Matt Meinerding, and Mark Neuhouser. Christman, the MVP, set a new Leo record by nabbing eight in- terceptions. Coach Bill Kerbel spoke highly of seniors Duane Gu- ingrich, Jay Alwine, and Jason Bufe. Displaying great courage, Bufe returned to action after thumb surgery had sidelined him for five games. Phil Neuhouser was also commended by Coach Kerbel as being the best sophomore I ' ve ever coached. Besides recognizing his players, Kerbel also praised his assistants: Tom Steinhauser, Mike Bearman, Bob Walton, and Phil Bollier, who was new this year. The season was highlighted by the team ' s victory over previous- ly undefeated and state ranked, Lakeland. The Lions also were vic- torious in the Homecoming game with a 12-7 win over Churubusco. The Reserve Team, under Coach Tom Steinhauser, ended with an even season of 2 wins and 2 losses. Although the games were few, due to an IHSAA eligibility rule, the team ' s purpose was accomplished: EXPERIENCE! — Leigh DelagrangeO Under heavy pressure, junior Jeff Loser dives to make a tough catch during a game with ACAC rival Churubusco. Football Sports 7 45 Winning Isn ' t Everything The freshman football team played hard through a tough season to earn a record of 2 wins and 4 losses. The highlight of the season was a thrilling victory in overtime over a good Churubusco squad. Their poten- tial skill was shown in many ways, and could have some good years in the future. They played team footbll, yet still had room for stan- douts like MVP ' s Keith Passwater and Matt Kelley. 9TH GRADE FOOTBALL, (front row): Dan Osborn, Kraig Good, David Shaffer, Brad Garretson, Jack Overmyer, Matt Kelly, Steve Dellinger, Brian Shepard.

The experience gained last year helped the 8th grade football team, but they were still young and untried. They improved greatly over last year, especially in the areas of attitude and desire to win. Last year the same group of athletes went winless in five games, but this year they won two and lost three, including two losses by less than a touchdown. They were led by MVP Tony Hampton and Most Improved Player Bob Earl. The 7th grade football team gained what they needed most — experience. Coming into their first year of football at Leo, they didn ' t know quite what to ex- pect, but they came through in traditional Leo style. Some close losses hurt them and they finish- ed with a record of 1-4, led by MVP Sam Powell. — Andy McNairO i f P? 7S f?K 12.. 32 7TH GRADE FOOTBALL, (front row): John Pence, John Hartman, Jim Brewer, John Deter, Joey Douglas, Jody Grunden, Brian Lutgens, Kevin Nofsinger, Richie Dellinger, Kerry Schwartz, Mike Thornhill, Mgr.

Reaching far above her opponents, Lisa Antil leaps for a hard return. Lisa ' s efforts were in vain as Leo lost the last game of Regionals. Both Varsity Volleyball teams proved to be the biggest surprise of the fall season. Each came into the season with few experienced returners due to graduation, but the lack of experience was made up for by the young spikers ' determination. Coach Phil Stuckey ' s Boys ' Team started out the season with three quick wins, but the Lions hit a mid-season lull and ended the season with a record of 11-5. The boys reached the peak of their season, though, as they captured the State Invitational Tournament with the final victory coming over conference rival New Haven. Though the Lions may have been a surprise this year, with the return of all-ACAC spikers Chad Watson and Doug Dilley and MVP Chris Gibson, no one will be sur- prised with a second state cham- pionship next year.

The girls, led by seniors Dawn Klaehn, Leigh Delagrange, and Darlene Delagrange, were not discouraged, however, as they went on to win the Eastside Sec- tional for the third year in a row. The next test was Regionals where the Lions were victorious in the first round and, thanks to a bye, advanced to the finals. But the young Lions just couldn ' t pull off the upset and were defeated by ACAC rival Norwell.

No Experience Needed There is a common rule that experience is necessary to a win- ning season. If so, the Reserve Volleyball team is the exception that proves the rule. The young and untried Lions played to a 4-1 record including a trip to the quar- ter-finals of the State Tourney. They reached that record on the strengths of players like Mike McConnell and John Holderman. Both players are juniors and will be returning to play varsity volley- ball next season. In many cases, however, when the experience isn ' t there, the wins don ' t happen. Such is the case of the Reserve Girls ' Volley- ball team. Luck seemed to be against them, and the young play- ers couldn ' t cope with the bad fortune. They still played hard, but ended with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses. That record does not reflect their skill, as they lost several close meets. They will all return next year, with the excep- tion of a few players. Hopefully they will have a better season next year. The Junior High Girls ' Volleyball team worked hard through a tough season, but never gave up. Their enthusiasm pushed them forward. After some tough breaks, the first team earned a 1- 7 record, including an important victory over Heritage. The second team finished with a record of four wins and three losses.

The varsity team was the first seven people who crossed the finish line. The MVP of this team was Amy Williams. The one person who could describe the pain was the captain, Angie Kurtz, who got a stress fracture. The agony can best be described by the entire team: the running in the sum- mer ' s heat or fall ' s cold.

Mean- while, for fourteen young men, a different and new sport was in- troduced into the program: boys tennis. First year coach Rollie Minnick attempted the unenviable task of getting a team organized. Although led by three seniors, the inexperienced netters were still considered rookies by their com- petitors because of the lack of playing experience. The three varsity seniors were headed by the number one doubles com- bination of Al Stovall and Brian Yost and number two singles player Rod Sinn. The Junior class was well represented by number one seed Todd Fuzy. The team finished on an up note, winning two of their last three matches, to end the year with an overall record of 2 wins and 7 losses. Al Stovall and Brian Yost were named team co-captains with Al Stovall also receiving the most valuable player award. Rod Cole was named most improved player. August 17, six girls met at Cedar Creek Golf Course, not knowing what was ahead of them. Out of the four years of girls golf this year ' s team did the best by setting a low record score at Cedar Creek Golf Course. Another record set by MVP Dawn Craig was a low individual score at Cedar Creek Golf Course.

An all- conference 6 ' 6 center. A win over Dekalb at Dekalb. Events like these would make any coach hap- py with his basketball team. But this year, Varsity Boys ' Basketball coach Richard Butt reached a landmark accomplish- ment that overshadowed all of these. He obtained his 300th basketball victory. It took him twenty-three years of hard work at three different schools, and he won number 300 at the Fort Wayne Coliseum against Adams Central. By the end of the year, Coach Butt had a lifetime record of 304 wins and 211 losses, an impressive 59% win-loss ratio. That record includes six sec- tionals and two ACAC tourney victories. All the events listed above are impressive, but even more impressive is the fact that these occurred in a rebuilding year. The team started four juniors, and played five regularly. One of these juniors was all-conference center Chad Watson. In the Lions ' sectional loss to Dekalb, he poured in an incredible 31 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. The team also set a school record for defensive average, setting the mark at 53 points per game allowed. Other individual strength came from juniors Doug Dilley, Scott Carey, and Ed Yoder, who all received an honorable mention in the all-conference voting. Along with the youth and enthusiasm of the juniors came the experience and leadership of seniors Ray Pulver, Matt Meinerding, and Jeff Wright. Probably the highest ideal a freshman basketball player can seriously hope to aspire to is to start on the reserve team. There were three who made it: Boyd Coolman, Robbie Pulver, and standout Jon Shade. Shade led the team in literally every major category, including scoring a total of 232 points. The team won 10 and lost 10, a record better than almost anyone could expect, considering their youth. That record includes a solid victory at New Haven over Coach Tom Hosier ' s former players. — Andy McNaird 56 - Sports BOYS ' VARSITY BASKETBALL, (front row): Chris Gibson, Matt Meinerding, Scott Carey, Marty Heller, Jeff Wright, Ed Yoder.

The Lady Lions continued into the season and registered a 55-42 vicory over state bound Heritage. The defending ACAC champs ' next challenge was to repeat as tourney champs. The challenge was not met, though as they were defeated in the semi-finals. The Lions, although comprised of underclassmen, were led by seniors Leigh Delagrange and Dawn Craig. Dawn and Leigh both received all-conference honors while Leigh also gained all-area honors and an invitation to audition for the Indiana All-Stars. They also set three school records and ended their careers as the 4th and 5th leading scorers in Leo history. Although the seniors will be gone next year, the nucleus of the team, which .ncludes 6 ' 2 center Lisa Antil, will return and the Lady Lions ' winning tradition will be carried on. The Lion reserves, though not as successful as the varsity, did have an encouraging season. The girls, comprised of all freshmen and sophomores, with little or no experience, compiled a record of 5-12. — Leigh DelagrangeO 58 A Sports Under heavy pressure from a tough South Side squad, All-Area Senior Leigh Dela- grange takes a shot from outside. — photos by Connie Anderson GIRLS ' VARSITY BASKETBALL WON 16 LOST 5 Leo 54-49 North Side Leo 67-44 New Haven Leo 54-39 Bishop Luers Leo 70-36 Southern Wells Leo 40-48 Bishop Dwenger Leo 66-24 Eastside Leo 55-42 Heritage Leo 55-49 Norwell Leo 69-40 Garrett Leo 54-39 Woodlan Leo 49-58 DeKalb Leo 60-26 Churubusco Leo 47-36 Carroll Leo 47-28 Adams Central Leo 32-43 Carroll Leo 47-30 Adams Central Leo 30-43 Northrop Leo 43-38 South Side Leo 50-21 Angola Leo 52-50 Fremont Leo 39-54 DeKalb ACAC Conference Champs GIRLS ' RESERVE BASKETBALL 5-12 Overall Sophomore Carol Melnerdlng quickly gets in on the play after a missed free throw during action in a Reserve game.

Sports 7 59 ' 85 Arrives In past years, the class of ' 85 has had very good basketball teams, but they could not do as well this year, as freshmen. The reason for this poor performance was probably the fact that five of their usual standouts were good enough to play for the reserve team. Those that were left had lit- tle experience, but their skill helped them. In the Junior High basketball, as with all teams with younger players, lack of experience made it hard to judge the potential skill of the athletes. When players play the game with few previous games for practice, much of their E ID 6£0T5 success or failure is determined by simple luck. Unfortunately, that luck was against the junior high teams. The Seventh Grade Boys ' Basketball team struggled to a 2-8 record, with the eighth grade earning an identical record of 2 wins and 8 losses. The 7th and 8th grade Girls ' Basketball teams brought an air of excitement to the game. While their records of 2-3 and 3-4, respectively, might not express it, their season was as enjoyable as any. The fans gained the most fun, as the play was fresh and exciting. — Andy McNairO 8TH GRADE BOYS ' BASKETBALL WON 2 LOST 8 7TH GRADE BOYS ' BASKETBALL WON 2 LOST 8 8TH GRADE GIRLS ' BASKETBALL WON 2 LOST 3 7TH GRADE GIRLS ' BASKETBALL WON 3 LOST 4 During an 8th grade basketball game against Garrett, Floyd Bienz looks for the open man.

Wrestling Sports - 63 Cl e er ie« ae ' Spirit Promoters We ' ll never get all this stuff up to our room, moaned the cheerleaders as we struggled with luggage, bedding, pompons, and fans. Our first day of summer camp at Ball State had begun. Once we deposited our things, we were off to the first assembly where about 700 cheerleaders were screaming with excitement and chanting Hey, Hey, UCA, You ' re OK! Following this assembly, we broke into groups of about 40 girls to learn chants, cheers, dances, and the basics of spotting and building mounts.

Under the guidance of coach Julie Manger and her assistant, Mark Kline, they won the ACAC championship for the sixth consecutive year. They were also sectional champs for the fourth time in five years, and regional champs for the second time in three years. In between sectionals and regionals, Mrs. Manger gave birth to a baby girl. However, both mother and baby, Michelle Renee, managed to put in a sur- prise appearance at regionals to the delight of the team and the fans. The regional victory aveng- ed their loss to Northrop earlier in the year. The team had to be content with a fifth place finish at the state meet after Erin Doyle was injured as she began her bar routine. However, Karen Heren- deen placed second in the all- around competition and most important, she received the Mental Attitude Award which is given annually to the top senior gymnast in the state. The team voted on the awards which were presented at the spring banquet. Marlene Delagrange and Patty Chapman received the award for Most Im- proved. Lori Yoder was given the Mental Attitude Award, and Karen Herendeen the Most Valuable. Not to be overlooked, the Junior High team worked hard for their coach, Beth Christman. They finished the year with a 7-1 record. Janice Glenn was chosen as their Most Valuable Player.

Records Tumble Following the tradition set by the volleyball, wrestling and gym- nastics teams, the Boys ' Track Team also had a representative at the state track meet on June 4th. The team finished up the season with a record of 8 wins and 1 loss in regular meets and 3rd place in the conference. At sectionals, sophomore Phil Neuhouser and junior Scott Carey placed 3rd in discus and pole vault respectively, and qualified for regionals. Scott then went on to place 3rd at the regional meet and thus earned a trip to the state meet. Among the highlights of the year were a second place team finish at the Heritage Relays and the setting of two school records. Doug Dilley broke his own high jump record with a leap of 6 ' 7 , while Phil Neuhouser shattered the previous discus record with a toss of 14P6 . At the end of the season, these young men were treated to a steak dinner at the home of Coach Walton. Jason Bute and Mark Neuhouser were chosen team captains, while Doug Dilley was the choice for MVP. Jay Alwine was the Most Improved member of the team and earned the nickname Awesome Jay.

With only two seniors, Darlene Delagrange and Erin Doyle, this years ' Girls ' Track Team lacked the ex- perience and leadership that is necessary to have a successful season. Although leadership is an im- portant asset, so too is the en- thusiasm of the underclassmen. That never wavered throughout the season despite a record of on- ly 3 wins as opposed to 10 losses. In spite of all these things, the Lady Lions had some individuals that put forth their best efforts. The team was led by MVP Darlene Delagrange, along with junior, Louisa Galuoppo and freshman, Amy Williams. Amy was also chosen the most outstanding rookie of the year. Lisa Hadley set a new school record in the shot- put with a throw of 32 ' 8 . The Jr. High Girls ' Team experi- enced quite a different season from the high school. They ended the year with a 5-1 record, and they also placed second in the ACAC conference meet. Under the leadership of MVP Katie Ridderheim, this team set many new school records. These include Shelly Miller ' s 17.7 sec. in the hurdles; Cheryl Cartwright ' s 13.37 sec. in the 100 meter dash and 14 ' 9 long jump; Kim Stuckey ' s 28.9 sec. in the 200 meter dash; and Katie Rid- derheim ' s 6:03.9 min. in the 1600 meter run.

In The Swing In her second year as coach of the Boys ' Golf Team, Mrs. Carolyn Piatt had high praise for her team ' s performances. They wound up the season with a record of 10 wins, 6 losses, and 4th place in the ACAC. Highlighting the season was the 151-159 defeat of archrival Car- roll. In addition, they captured first place in the EACS Tourney, placed 5th in the ACAC Tourney, and placed 7th out of 18 teams in the sectional. Junior Pete Roth was third medalist at the sectional with a score of 77 and he went on to play in the regional at Lafayette, where he scored a respectable 79. Pete, who was the MVP, also tied the 9-hole score record of 34, and he set a new record of 38.3 average for a junior at Leo. Under the guidance of new coach, Mrs. Judy Davis, the Girls ' Tennis Team struggled through most of the season. Training got underway as they shoveled snow off the courts so they could prac- tice. Many nights they were still on the courts at 8 pm, playing the full three sets before a winner was decided. Although the team did not win a meet, several girls won their individual matches. Junior Marcy Dwinnel with a record of 3 wins and 8 losses, was chosen the MVP and sophomore Shelly Craig was judged to be the most improved. The season con- cluded with a cook-out at Coach Davis ' in a downpour. — Maureen DoyleO The only Leo golfer to qualify for Regionals, junior Pete Roth takes a prac- tice swing.

Rollie Minnick. . . Jjn . — phofo by Todd Bertsch UP ending 1 The season for the Baseball Team had as many lows as it had highs. Losing to Norwell by one run for the conference champion- ship was a heartbreaker, mainly because it was the second year in a row that this had happened. In contrast, the big 15-7 win over number one ranked East Noble was a real thriller for the team. However, a 1-0 loss to them in the first game of sectionals left the team very frustrated. The Lions had outhit the Knights 4-3 and had seven runners to their six. Ray Pulver had 13 strikeouts to their 11 and he only walked one batter as opposed to three for the Knights. Coach Mike Hey felt that the inconsistencies were the result of having a very young team. One of the highlights of the sea- son was watching Ray Pulver reach his goal as a player. Ray was brilliant in his pitching as was shown by the no-hitter that he threw against the visiting Hamil- ton Marines. He was scouted ear- lier in the year by the Cincinnati Reds and this led to a tryout here as well as one in Riverfront Sta- dium. However, he chose to con- tinue his education at Indiana Uni- versity after that school offered him a full scholarship in baseball. Although the Lions finished in second place in the ACAC con- ference, they can be proud of their 5-1 conference record. Pit- cher Ray Pulver, along with in- fielder Chris Gibson, and out- fielder Ed Yoder were named to the all-conference team. In addi- tion to this, Ed Yoder with a .392 batting average and 30 RBI ' s, Chris Gibson with a .365 batting average and 19 stolen bases, and Pete Garrison with a .373 batting average were chosen best hitters. Ray Pulver closed out his high school career with an impressive 112 strikeouts in 72 innings and a .327 batting average. — Erin DoyleO Sport; 775 m With coach Denneen Dewitt cheering her Taking advantage of some nice weather, on, Bobbi Clay tags up at 1st base after junior Ed Yoder tosses a frisbee around. hitting a single. photo by Jeff Handlin Fun Alternatives Loading their canoe on the car, Erin and Maureen Doyle prepare to spend a sunny afternoon on the water. What do the athletes do who are not on a school team? There are many athletes who enjoy out of school sports such as skating, hockey, go-carting, moto-cross and softball. Jeff Loser is a good example of this type of athlete. Jeff was a member of the Jr. Komets hockey team, and was one of their leading scorers. They even went on to play in the regionals at Salt Lake City. Since Leo doesn ' t offer hockey, this was Jeff ' s only chance to show his stuff. Ice skating is another sport that is very popular due to the com- pletion of the new indoor rink at Glenbrook. Students from Leo are often seen taking a spin or spill on the ice. Senior Patty Souder is one of those avid skaters. I ' ve always liked to skate and now I can go as often as I please. Probably the most popular out of school sport is softball. This year 150 girls played in over 50 major and minor league games plus a tournament. Some students who did not play were given the opportunity to coach or umpire. In addition to this, there were several boys ' slow pitch softball teams. Some students do not like the competition of a team sport. They enjoy doing their own thing like biking, riding, playing frisbee, or fishing or canoeing on the nearby St. Joe River. There are many ways to participate in sports if you are willing to take the time and effort to find them. 76 A Feature Sports Packing his hockey gear into the car, junior Jeff Loser gets ready for another big game. — photo by Jett Handlin Winding up for the pitch, Brian Yost en- joys a game of slow pitch Softball with his friends.

Among the many groups that entertain, both at the school and for other functions, are the Drill Squad, Swing Choir, and Majorettes. The perfor- mances these groups put on take many hours of work, both in and out of school. The Drill Squad per- forms at almost every home game. Singing their way into the hearts of audiences, the Swing Choir performs an average of twenty time a year, more than any other group in the school.

Not only does the Swing Choir perform at school functions, but at nursing homes, private parties, and state hospitals as well. Erin Doyle, a member of the Swing Choir, summed up the feel- ing of all individuals in performing groups when she said, Sometimes I get tired of practic- ing and wonder if all this work is a waste of time. But when I see the happiness reflected on the faces of our audiences, I know that all the time and effort put into the performance was worth it. — Tricia TappyD Performing Clubs 7 81 Juniors Lauri Swartz, Andrea Stuckey, Susan Latham, and Lisa MacQueen relax and enjoy each others ' company at the conclu- sion of a Campus Life meeting.

Campus Life members Todd Delagrange and Doyle Steury enjoy a discussion led by Paul Breininger at a Campus Life meet- ing in the home of Al Stovall. In addition to the many active clubs in the school, three more have been added this year. One of these is the Speech Team. It isn ' t often that one finds students who are willing to give up their project periods and Saturdays to either practice speeches, or participate in speech meets. Why do they do it? Randy Mishler said, There is no other club quite like it. Being on the Speech Team prepares a person for a lot of everyday situa- tions in life. Many people go through life not knowing how to communicate with others. Another new club this year is Campus Life.

The group, besides their weekly meetings, takes on such major activities as a fall burger bash, a New Year ' s Eve lock-in, a winter ski trip, a Rolla- thon to raise money, and a spring Florida trip. The last of the new clubs is the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The purpose is to give Christian Athletes an opportunity to associate with others for the pur- pose of expressing like problems to find solutions, and therefore leave a Christian witness, stated Mr. Stucky when asked the reason for organizing this club. — Tricia TappyO New Clubs Clubs ' 83 What do Y-Teens, Marine Biology, and foreign language clubs have in common? Besides usual club activity, these groups plan exciting trips to both expand their knowledge in certain areas and, of course, to have a good time. Both German and Spanish Clubs took numerous field trips this year to learn more about the culture and language of the coun- try which they studied. The Ger- man Club, under the direction of Miss Rhynard, ate at a German restaurant and organized tradi- tional German festivals, such as the German Oktoberfest. They also went caroling at Christmas time. The Spanish Club also got a taste of Spanish culture when they got their fill at Bandido ' s, a local Mexican restaurant. They planned a Spanish Christmas par- ty and also could be heard carol- ing from classroom to classroom during the Christmas season. The Y-Teens were also an ac- tive club. One of their field trips this year included a trip to the Y.W.C.A. to look at the facilities. The Y-Teens also originated The teachers of the week. Every week three teachers received lit- tle notes of praise and Goodies , such as apples, candy bars, and popcorn. Of course, the most active club, as far as distance is concerned, is Marine Biology. Not only is this trip an educational experience, but one of the most enjoyable trips that a person could take. Just ask anyone who has taken the trip. — Tricia TappyO Honored as teacher of the week by the Y- Teens, Mr. Stuckey is pinned with a cor- sage during project period by Kim Roth and Kara Butler.

He, along with six other students, com- prises the A.V. Department which is under the direction of Mr. Ran- dy Artherhults and Mrs. Phyllis Doyle. These workers repair pro- jectors, duplicate tapes, and deliver movies throughout the school day. Delivering messages, collecting attendance slips, and running er- rands for the school staff are all jobs of the office assistants. They spend one period and often a small amount of their free time helping to see that some of the main functions of the school are carried out. Working in the library is a good experience for me, because I ' m thinking of studying library Beth Wltte, Almee Richards, and Stephany Smith, under the direction of some of the kitchen staff, help serve hot rolls to the 105 people who attended the Honor Society banquet. science in college, stated Maureen Doyle, who is a library worker. Not only do they perform the important task of checking out books for fellow students, but they repair book covers and make out overdue book slips. Along with preparing me for the future, library work gives me a chance to meet new people. It ' s just a fun thing to do!, finished Maureen. Last but not least are the cafeteria workers. Why do they serve food, clean plates, and wash tables? Probably for the same reason all kids want jobs . . . for the money. These workers are paid 80 t a mod, or $2.40 a day.

Two of the biggest clubs in the school, Honor Society and Stu- dent Council, are achievement clubs in their own right. While the Honor Society is more associated with those students who have already achieved a high level of academic standards, the Student Council can be placed in this group because it is constantly working towards achieving goals. The Senior High Student Coun- cil has once again taken an active part in school activity. Homecom- ing, the blood drive, and class tourney were all responsibilities undertaken by members of this group which met on Tuesdays to Red Cross volunteer, Al Stovall, com- pletes the paper work by signing his name to a health form prior to giving blood in the library. —photo by Jeff Handlin plan activities and discuss school problems. Susie Robbins, presi- dent of the Student Council, stated, We are more than a club. We are the voice of the student body. One activity revived dur- ing the year by the Student Coun- cil was student exchanges with Dwenger, Churubusco, Heritage, and many others. The exchanges were important in the fact that they introduced new ideas on how to run a successful student council and brought about friend- ly relationships between students from different schools. The Jr. High Student Council, under the direction of Mrs. Lynn Marquardt, performed similar functions as the Sr. High Student Council. Ac- tivities planned by this group ranged from dances to roller skating parties. The Honor Society, Jr. and Sr. High, is designed to recognize those students with a B average who are involved in com- munity activity. The highlight of the year for the Sr. High Honor Society was the annual dinner in which new members were in- troduced and pins were handed out by Mr. Hartung to first, se- cond, and third year members. — Eugene LiechtyD Achievement Clubs - 89 wymj—iT IWKl CHESS CLUB, (front row): Mr. Ron Noyer, Greg Koenig, Mike Forth.

Growth is an essential part of the life of any club, and the Chess Club, F.H.A., and Business Club all showed a considerable increase in membership. The Business Club, designed to further the knowledge of students in the field of business, took numerous field trips during the year. One of these trips was to Lincoln Life Ins. Co. The club was given a tour of the building and members got a glimpse of life in the real business world . The club also organized parties throughout the year. These parties didn ' t consist of merely fellowship and eating; there was usually a guest speaker or some activity planned to educate the students. The F.H.A., a service organiza- tion, had a school year full of ac- tivities such as serving hot chocolate and cookies at the homecoming bonfire, putting on an Easter party for the Kindergarten students at the elementary school, organizing a December dance, and giving the staff a breakfast the last day of school. The activities, though demanding much time and work, were enjoyable learning ex- periences, and they taught us to work together as a group, smil- ed Vicki Kerlin as she reflected on the many activities performed by the club throughout the year. The primary reason for the growth in membership was that the club ex- panded to include the Jr. High. Along with growing interest in the complicated game of chess came a larger club membership. This group, under the leadership of Mr. Ron Noyer, had 23 active members who held matches dur- ing project periods and free time to perfect game skills and establish rank between members. — Eugene Liechty □ Growing Clubs - 91 TO ffiLMjJH fliCBE One of the most popular maga- zines in America is People maga- zine. This publication details American life from its major Holly- wood stars to a group of Iowa farmers who have the Pope come to lunch. Few people in the area expect to appear in the pages of People but students do get their name in print, thanks to the Oracle. The school yearbook is not something that is slapped together haphazardly (although a trip to the yearbook class would make it appear that way). The book is constructed after months of hard work and careful thought. The book is assembled by students under the advisement of Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook, assisted by Mrs. Phyllis Doyle. These two talented ladies concentrated on taking a bunch of students and turned them into a writing- editing-drawing unit that is willing to stay after school and come in on Saturdays all in attempt to create a first class book. The Oracle is not the only form of printed word at Leo. There is also The Lions ' Tale, the newspaper supervised by Mr. Jim Schneider. Each year a student newspaper editor takes on the job of assembling a school paper, a task complicated by the fact that there was no class time allowed for newspaper. The paper held class during project period. Dur- ing the year the newspaper not only printed the news about the school, but they gave the sports scores, printed a few pieces of entertaining fiction and gave love sick students a place to voice their printed affections in the Happy Ads section. The school did not have a Peo- ple magazine or a Washington Post. The school did have two respectable publications of its own that allowed the school to remember the contributions of students. — Randy MishlerU Proving that picture day is more than plastic combs and flash bulbs, Erin Doyle gives Greg Bauman his receipt. The Clubs Section of the year- book was really fun to work on. It gave me a chance to discover the clubs students were involved in, and what functions the many clubs serve, stated Tricia Tappy. She, along with Eugene Liechty and Robbie Roberts, comprised the Clubs Section of the year- book. We try to do more than just list the clubs and who belong to them said Eugene. We find out the clubs ' activities throughout the year and the opi- nion of the members about their clubs. More work goes into the yearbook than most readers realize. Every piece of copy in the book is written over and over again, in an attempt to reach perfection. Many times throughout the year, a staff member would throw up his arms in total frustration and scream, I give up! The anticipation of see- ing the finished product, however, spurred the year- bookers onward. The Academics Division of the yearbook was created by Randy Mishler — editor, Krista Bute, and Lisa Antil. These people spent much extra time perfecting their section, making a traditionally dull subject exciting in order to capture the readers ' attention. These yearbookers interview- ed many students, teachers, and staff to find out their feelings on things like student teacher rela- tionships, and overall opinions. Many evenings these three students, along with the rest of the yearbook staff, stayed after school working late into the night, in order to produce a good quality yearbook.

Who organized all the class par- ties and made sure that the names fit the faces in the year- book? Those determined students who worked in the Peo- ple Section — Dave Carnahan, Beth Gottfried, and Todd Delagrange. Not only did they sort class pictures, but they designed special feature sections as well. These students covered everything from latest fashions, to new administration, and what kids do for kicks. It ' s a tremen- dous amount of work, but I love it! exclaimed the editor, Beth. Covering everything from prom and homecoming to fads and graduation were Vince Stovall, Vicki Kerlin, Karen Pfister, and Ann Shaw — the Student Life Sec- tion yearbookers. The in- teresting thing about this group is that none of them had worked on a yearbook before. Editor Vicki and Karen, however, did attend summer yearbook camp at Ball State University. It was a really valuable experience to attend the camp, stated Vicki. We learned guidelines, and were taught to produce an entire yearbook. Besides having students working in different sections of the year- book, many people worked behind the scenes to make sure things ran smoothly for the staff. Though not pictured, Carla Schwartz and Kelly Garman spent much time typing the copy cap- tions and idents in the book. And what would a yearbook be without pictures? Thanks to Jeff Handlin and Jim McKinley there was no need to worry about this. These two yearbookers spent long, late hours snapping pic- tures, developing film, and retouching prints to capture at a glance, what school life is all about. The Ads Section in the back of the book was produced by Doug Dilley , with the help of Dawn Craig and Mary Brandenberger. They spent much time giving the section their own artistic flair. These dependable, diligent workers made life much easier for section groups on the yearbook staff, and often weren ' t recognized. Editors and advisors had the most important jobs in seeing the completion of the yearbook. Under the direction of Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook and Mrs. Phyllis Doyle, Patty Souder and Erin Doyle designed the cover, put together the theme, produced the division pages, and made all major decisions involving the yearbook. How did they prepare for this great task? Both Erin and Patty attended summer camp along with several other work- shops that taught them the ropes in producing an excellent yearbook. These four determined people spend more time than any- one else working on the book. The class has taught me a lot, not only to put together a suc- cessful yearbook, but to take on responsibility and to be more organized. It is also opening up many career opportunities and ideas for me, stated Patty.

This area of the school began with the home economics classes taught by Mrs. Shirley Schmidt and Mrs. Julie Manger. Jr. high students learned basic sewing and cooking skills, and were prepared for the high school classes with tests and other constructive activities, such as making gym bags and skirts. For the high school students interested in working with their hands or learning to bake a favorite snack with ease, these courses were helpful. They had special workshops to learn to decorate cakes and to make candies. For students interested in craft making such as Raggedy Ann dolls or decorative pillows, Needle Craft teaches the basics. Using the finished products as gifts, selling them or to keep them as memories is often fulfilling. Next on the map would be the industrial arts classes, for the student that enjoys constructing with steel or that enjoys working with automobile parts. These courses are intended for jr. and sr. high school students alike. The instructors of these courses were Mr. Phil Stuckey, Mr. Mrs. Manger talks to her class of Jr. high students about the fundamentals of sewing. Although It lacks the fumes of the traditional foundry, this metals lab works well for these students. 96 - Outer Ring Academics ing OUTER RING out In the noisy atmosphere of the shop Jim Antil and Craig Brown complete their project.

A few of the projects involved in the industrial arts section were making storage barns, grandfather clocks, and electrical lamps. With the skills of making the se projects, a future career may come a lot easier, and students can sell what they make, and keep a certain percentage of the earnings. Mr. Heller retired after 33 years of teaching. In these years he was a successful varsity basketball coach and a very qualified shop teacher. In the future Mr. Heller intends to run for County Commissioner. Ending the Outer Ring trail were the Business classes taught by Mr. Robert Shaw, Mrs. Ann Linson and Mrs. Charlene Bredemeyer. The business courses were not eligible to jr. high students. These courses were designed for the business minded students. Learning typing and shorthand skills provides many great assets for jobs in the business field. If interested in a career in accounting or just to prepare for college, these courses along with many hours of practice and study are very beneficial. Any of the above sections included in the Outer Ring prepare students for future careers, college courses or personal dealings. — Lisa AntilD Outer Ring Academics - 99 c o n o n GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB, (front row): Wendy McDaniel, Mary Blouser, Michelle Kies, Kris Lovett, Jeni Kurtz, Christa Korte, Sharon Handlin.

A school building that had stood for as many years as a building should was under attack by the constant construction that reshaped our little world. The last hold-out to this construction was the Inner Core area. The Inner Core held those classes that were a type of axis for the school. The music teachers, Mr. McBane and Mr. Flick, knew they weren ' t working with the Beatles, or even the B-52 ' s, but they found talent that they could shape into a group of dedicated musicians. Mr. McBane and Mr. Flick were given class time for the Senior High Band, the Girls Glee Club, the Concert Choir, Junior High Band, and Junior High Choir. These classes were full of talented young people who knew the real value of a quarter note and knew best how to use it. The music groups found themselves participating in several in-school concerts. Mr. Flick directed his choirs in performing at area churches and retirement homes. The Senior High Band found itself in a predicament at the beginning of the year.

Ask gym students what lasting impressions they have of that class and most will respond, Running! It may seem that is all that the gym classes had students do, but con- tinued probing showed otherwise. Mr. Michael Hey, Mrs. Julie Manger, and Miss Mary Wimp Baumgart- ner found themselves try- ing to teach while fighting off dust, construction workers, and disappear- ing walls. While most other teachers could take their classes to some other room, the physical education teachers were stuck in their good old gym. They continued to exercise, teach baseball, and give skill tests, but when the debris started flying, it was suddenly ap- parent how handy all that running could be. Who knows what evils exist in a run-on sentence? Only an English teacher can tell for sure and there are quite a few of them (teachers) in the Inner Core. Mr. Jerry Stover manages to hold rein on those high school students in the upper levels. His Grammar and Comp, World Lit, and Speech classes spend time learning those last little bits of English knowledge that round out a full study of our language. Some students claim these finishing classes are as entertain- ing as they are educational. Mrs. Carolyn Piatt, another English teacher had the opportunity to teach Leo ' s newest class, Careers, besides her usual Literature and language arts classes. She taught this with the help of bulletin boards of information and by in- viting people of various occupations to talk about their work. Phil Donahue, watch out! Mr. Randy Artherhults was the last, but not the least, of the English teachers who was a member of the Inner Core Corps. Besides instruc- ting some of the school ' s junior high English classes, he also had the distinction of teaching some of the most in- teresting English classes to the senior high. His Liv- ing English classes spent their time writing everything from essays to autobiographies. These classes also made a film that depicted their more embarrassing moments. aftjs v ft V • C%fL JR.

In the one semester that they had for class, these students managed to cram in just how to make a TV show, information on radio, film, advertising, and what to look for when watching Hill Street Blues. Mrs. Ruth Lebzelter is the only prophetress of the Math god in the Inner Core. She taught her disciples to become everlasting sons and daughters of the principles of Algebra and Geometry. These classes found themselves obeying the theorems of the Mathalmightiness more than once. But these classes got a lot of serious work done, and more often than not, students went home with what they thought were back-breaking assignments; however, they always came back (sometimes with a smile on their face!) Not only did Miss B duck bricks in the gym, but she saw to it that the freshmen were not ducking assignments in Health. The health classes went on a fantastic voyage through the systems of the body. Endocrine glands, the heart, and the inner mysteries of the ear canal did not escape her watchful eye. The last two teachers in the Inner Core were up for election and up for promotion, respectively. Mr. Steven Gabet, who specializes in Government and Sociology classes, declared his candidacy for state representative in early February. He kept off the trails, campaign that is, long enough to see to it that his government classes knew the basic systems of our government: elections, Congress, The Presidency, National Court System, and Bureaucracy. Mr. Gabet ' s use of lively class discussions help the students understand the many philosophies under which our country functions. The same type of discussions helped the Sociology students understand certain ideas. Basically, it boiled down to the fact that the environment affects people, and the people, usually formed into a society, affect the environment. It ' s a never ending cycle and a potentially confusing one, which is why it takes Mr. Gabet a semester to sort it all out. U.S. History is the one required class on the juniors ' schedule. During the school year Mr. Richard Kierstead, affectionately called The Captain , due to some of his nautical phrases (Drop Anchor!), did a good job of seeing to it that those eleventh graders left his class understanding our country. The class took a field trip to the Old Fort Wayne where they were instructed in the life style of the year 1816. The rest of the year was spent moving along America ' s timeline with the help of films, slide shows, and a visit by Custer buff, Mr. Jim Schneider. History was never in better hands. After the beginning of the second semester several members of the Inner Core Corps were moved into newly completed rooms and a common complaint was about the lack of windows. Oh well, that ' s the price one pays for being the backbone of our school. — Randy MishlerO 104 - Inner Core 1 E i n n e r c r e i n n e r c r i 1 With one of his jr. high students, Nick Kitchen, Mr. A discusses a worksheet.

The teachers didn ' t seem to mind too much, and the students managed to survive. The adjustments were few, so it couldn ' t have been too bad. Having to go out in the cold, rain, mud, heat, and all that other good stuff was necessary to reach the trailers from the main building. The new school was progressing very well, so going to the trailers was soon to be a thing of the distant past. Well, having class in the trailers didn ' t seem to bother the teachers in the way they were teaching. Most all of the teachers were using the same methods that they used before. There were no big changes in the assignments that everyone had to do. Mrs. Patricia Gillett said she liked it, because there was less noise and less confusion. For Mrs. Gillett it washer last year in a trailer at any rate, as she was retiring after 24 years of teaching. She taught 16 years in EACS. Thirteen of them were spent at Leo, the other 3 were at Milan Center. Other years she taught outside of East Allen in Pleasant Township for 6 years and in Franklin Township for 2 years. She taught two 8th grade English classes and two 9th grade Language Arts classes this year. She said she used the same methods she had always used to teach. Mrs. Bernie Smith and Mr. Jim Schneider were the other two English teachers to spend the year in trailers. In the math department there were Mr. Ron Crosby, Mr. John Walton, and Mr. Thomas Mr. Crosby attempts to prove a point as he explains an equation in his Algebra I class. Putting a few touches on their Algebra homework in Mr. Crosby ' s trailer are Kurt Lengacherand Del Roth.

A caretaker from Quality Critters, a pet shop, displays an owl to the 5th period Zoology class. r BEFORE E AND C When construction began on the building it was discovered that the first section of the building to receive its facelift was to be the Junior High wing. About six months later the student body got its first look at the all new level. The south end of the building no longer held just the junior high. It was now home for the science department, too. One of the cut up teachers of the science species was Biology Zoology teacher Ron Divelbiss. Mr. D spent most of his science days on the animal attractions of the world. His Marine Biology class traveled to the Florida Keys to investigate the undersea life of the Caribbean, while his new Zoology class was taking apart and analyzing fetal pigs and full grown cats in plastic trays. While D was dissecting, Lynne Marquardt was assembling equations.and mixing solutions in the Chemistry lab. Her three Chem classes allowed her to know what was going on in the world of chemical analysis. Starting and finishing many a science career was Mr. Richard Hartung. He taught Science 8 which allowed him to dabble in all the science fields in the course of one year. He also completed many educations by teaching the seniors Physics. Among the many projects they did, the students built toothpick 110 - Academics e v e I LEVEL i level i ' X it.

The Junior High classes were now spread throughout the building, however, there were still some left in the I level. One of the most experienced teachers, Mr. Allen Schlatter, capped his 25 years of experience by teaching a wide variety of classes last year. He instructed U.S. History to the 8th grade, kept the freshmen SAILing, and brought Work Experience to some juniors and seniors. Mrs. Marquardt didn ' t spend all her time in the Chem lab. During part of the day she would teach Math 8 to some of the soon-to-be high- schoolers. This class provided the last general math class before the 8th graders moved on to specialized high school math. Down the hall, Mrs. Sherry Rorick, assisted by Mrs. Lois Delagrange were in charge of the Individualized Educational Plan. These classes were designed to meet individual student needs. The testing center also moved into the I level, and was under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Hunt. This area was useful to students with work that needed to be finished. It was also utilized by teachers who had an overflow of students on lab days. Mrs. Laverne Amstutz must have sometimes felt like she was guarding a zoo. As the paraprofessional in charge of the Senior High studyhall, she had to cope with students who somehow found time to rejoice during their one free period of the day. Mrs. Loraine Buuck had many of the same problems as she ran the Junior High studyhall. From Junior High only to a half dozen different classes, the I level evolved into a section of the new Leo High, the first area to make that evolutionary step. — Randy MishlerD Academics - 113 M h I o n U P P With a flicker of the projector it was there! On the silver screen before the world was Raiders of the Lost Ark, the cinematic adventures of Indiana Jones. In the film, Jones traveled the world learning about new countries and new forms of expression. It was possible, however, to discover all those same kinds of things without leaving the comfort of the classroom by taking a simple trip up the stairs to the world of the Upper Echelon. OF THE ARTS Foreign and Fine These rooms were occupied by two types of classes, art and the foreign languages, Spanish and German. Spanish was taught by Miss Elise Carr, who, with her brightly decorated room and colorful songs, seemed as if she belonged in the Wizard of Oz. But here she was in the school ' s version of Ra ders,using her rendition of Spanish tunes to support her instruction. Miss Mary Rhynard was the newcomer on the block. During her first year of teaching she brought to the Upper Echelon a breath of fresh air, helping it to seem as if Germany was right next door instead of an ocean away. She moved beyond the confines of the textbook as she recreated foreign lands within the confines of her 20 x 20 space. -photo by Todd Fuzy Laughing, Elaine Arnett waits her turn while Miss Rhynard checks Mark Smith ' s paper.

Photographer Jeff Handlin checks one of the last prints to be produced in the old darkroom upstairs. The director of Raider ' s claims the film was made within its budget thanks to the use of pre- production sketches. On the Upper echelon, the art instructors were not making a movie, but were also developing creative thinkers. The junior high students received their first taste of the Raiders way of life through Mr. Mike Bearman. He managed to give these students an all around taste of art. He also taught some senior highers a few tricks about art in his new advance Design Class where they did string art and silk- screened their own designs onto t-shirts. The other DaVinci of the Upper level was Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook. Besides having the privilege of advising the yearbook, Mrs. Holbrook also worked with student photographers. Her art classes learned basic principles and how to draw, tapping the intuitions of the brain ' s right hemisphere. Before its destruction at the beginning of the second semester, the Upper Echelon was home to four classrooms dedicated to art, be it foreign or fine. The teachers taught with a passion, the students learned with gusto and like Indiana Jones, made it up as they went. — Randy MishlerU Upper Echelon Academics V117 wasBSi m , -A . e ' to  ® «£ ,y ° A0 118 A Division People ,.%v ¥ « A SW Vft $ V Division People -1 119 msam mmm Going over the day ' s paperwork, Mr. Philip Kurtz, the new assistant principal, points out an item of interest to Dr. Herb Stuelpe, the new principal. — photo by Jim McKmley Summer drew near. Construc- tion started, and rumors flew. Talk that the present principal, Gary Novak, was going to leave for a position in Colorado began to spread. Everyone assumed that the assistant principal, Dr. Herbert E. Stuelpe would take his place; however, the question rose as to who would take Dr. Stuelpe ' s place. When school opened in the fall, the students came back to a new administration. As expected, Dr. Stuelpe was the new principal. His former position had been filled by Philip Kurtz. Since Dr. Stuelpe had been the assistant principal, his new job was not a beginning but a transition. Nor was Philip Kurtz ' s position totally new to him, for he had been a guidance counselor at New Haven High School f or three years and taught at Heritage for seven years before that. Even the building was not unfamiliar ground since he had been a stu- dent teacher here eleven years ago. When asked what his goals for the year were, Dr. Stuelpe replied, to get through the year with as little disturbance as possi- ble to the educational process, and yet to continue to move ahead on the construction pro- gram. He also stated his hopes for the future: Leo has long been noted for its outstanding athletic programs. I hope that Leo can be as widely known for its academic excellence and for its fine arts programs as it has been for its athletic program. Not only were the positions new to both Dr. Stuelpe and Mr. Kurtz, but also the pairing of the two was new. However, the duo has been successful. Dr. Stuelpe feels that he and Mr. Kurtz work together excellently and that with all the construction hassles Mr. Kurtz has had to work with, he has done very well his first year at Leo. Dr. Stuelpe also commented that because Mr. Kurtz has handled the attendance records well, he has cut down on skipping. Also responding positively to his first year, Mr. Kurtz replied, I ' ll be glad when the construc- tion is over. There are a lot of things we want to do for the school and the kids that have been limited by the construction. I am looking forward to when the construction work is done, because we would like to do more. It is exciting to watch the building being put together. We ' re anxious to use it. After the work is all done we will be able to concen- trate more on a good school. I feel it has been a good year and that the kids and teachers have been cooperative with the work and the dust, dirt, mud, and mov- ing from classroom to classroom. After all the construction is done, the work will have been worth it all. Everyone will enjoy the new building and be benefited from the new facilities and from the new programs. Weeks and months passed by, until the end of the year drew to a close. Along with the year ' s ending, the construction also began to take on a finished look and the administration was no longer new. — Patty SouderO 120 - Staff People DR. HERBERT E.

Wrong. Again, picture a student. This time picture him as older, someone who is already a col- lege grad and has a career. Now what do you think his pro- fession is? A businessman? A salesman? A doctor? Surely not anyone on a school staff; he wouldn ' t need any more information. Wrong again. Recently, there has been a surge in the number of gradu- ates who have headed back to school to continue their educa- tion. Among these returned were teachers and staff mem- bers who did so for various rea- sons. An example of one who has returned to earn another degree, Randy Artherhults fin- ished work on a Masters Degree minor in Reading Prob- lem Diagnosis. Ann Linson con- tinued her education by taking Vocational business courses during the summer at Ball State and Mary Rhynard took two English classes at Indiana University. In order to earn her teaching license, Phyllis Doyle took a full load of English and education courses at IU-PU. Even though many staff members headed back to col- lege to receive a higher degree, others just wanted to take classes because of outside interests which ranged from watercolors to airplanes.

Up in the sky! It ' s a bird! It ' s a plane! Need one say more? Anyone knows immediately who you ' re talking about — Superman, one of the greatest superheroes of all time. What does it take to qualify for hero status? There are as many qualifications as there are people to admire them. Ultimately, to be the perfect hero would be nearly impossible — even in fan- tasy. One would have to be smart, strong, clever, witty, brave, honest, able to sing, dance, draw, paint, write, play football, basket- ball, lacrosse, and be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. In the seventh grade class there are as many different hero images as there are kids to look up to them. There are the strong, athletic types like Trent Mosier ' s hero, Mean Joe Green who is a big, mean, powerful machine. Then there are the more aesthetic types. Take for instance Missy Sutton ' s aunt who doubles as her hero as well. Missy states, My hero is Helen DeLuca because she is a writer and has in- fluenced me in my writing and she is also my aunt. Some heroes are, of course, more traditional than others. Jason Junk nominates Superman, because he tells the truth and fights crime. And naturally one couldn ' t forget the goodest of the good guys, John Wayne star of the silver screen, by Ed Busche because he ' s a good actor. He ' s the good guy and big and tough.

Heroes play an important part in the development of all people. They give us someone to look up to and values to appreciate. Shawn Purcell chose Abraham Lincoln because he was a great president and he set the blacks free. Someone who failed to identify himself picked Douglas MacArthur for being a great military leader. A hero can be someone who has achieved the goals we set for ourselves. They can be someone we know and admire because of the good things they do for us and for others. They can also be someone we don ' t even know and, who, perhaps isn ' t real bul whom we admire for their courage anyway. — Beth GottfriedC 128 - People Dina Stovall responds as expected as Don- na Meyers encourages a big smile during junior high lunch period. — photo by Todd Fuzy Todd Swary MikeThornhill Aaron VanLue Kathy Wasson Freddy Webb Troy Wells Linda Wiblin Mike Williams Basil Wisler Lisa Yoder Richard Zyc h i 7th Grade People - 129 mmmmmmmmm Pam Alwine John Amstutz Jim Antil Dana Bailey Tim Baldwin Shelly Barker Angie Baughman Connie Beck Todd Bennett Floyd Bienz Debbie Bishop Sue Bolden Kraig Brown Tracy Busch Kaye Callow David Castator Paula Caswell Floyd Chancey Bob Clark Amy Cook Brad Coolman Cherie Crooks Terry Crooks Rhonda Crowe Kian Dolsen Lee Douglas Amy Dowty Tom Dykhuizen Bob Earl Richard Ehlers Lori Eubank Valery Federspiel Kim Fitzgerald Marie Fogle Brad Frederick David Galbraith Dawn Gardt Janice Glenn Mandy Gottfried Jodie Halt John Hampton Jim Harris Chris Hattery Peggy Henderson Bob Hewitt Greg Hill Patrick Hoar Jo Hobson Suzanne Hohl Julie Hosier Ann Huguenard Lisa Huntington Samamtha lemma Ron Imbody Chris Johnston Scott Keim Greg Kelley Jeff Kimbel Terri Kissell Brian Koepke Ken Koons Gretchen Korte Diane Kurtz 130 A People With just a jump to the left and a step to the right, Brad Fredericks, Michelle Kies, Marie Fogle, and Greg Kelley take Dr. Frank-n-Furter ' s advice and do the time warp again. — photo by Jim McKinley It would seem that with all the lustle and bustle of everyday life that the fine art of recreation vould soon be lost. This would seem to be far from true, lowever — at least in the eighth jrade class. Games make up only a small aart of the total realm of recrea- tion, but they are a very impor- tant art. Maybe one of the r easons they play such a vital role s the fact that there is such a ariety of them. Indeed, no mat- ter how intellectually suited or athletically capable a person is, there is a game to match. One of the nicest things about games is that there is no one specific thing nice about them. Bingo is nice because so many people can play it, but solitare is ery common also. Pac Man is a blast, but sometimes it seems to gobble up more of your allowance than anything else. Charades, on the other hand, is free. So just what is this incredible attractive force that games seem to possess? What exactly is the cause of their timeless populari- ty? Games can be played anywhere, at any time, by anybody. The equipment can range anywhere from your mind, to elaborately designed, outrageously expensive playing gear. The only basic rule is that you enjoy yourself. Enjoying yourself. Isn ' t that really what games are all about? Take a game of monopoly out into the sunshine if it suits you, or toss a football in the family room (just don ' t get caught). Any place, within reason, that you feel com- fortable playing a game, play it. Enjoy it. Okay, so now it ' s been clarified that games are quite popular. So what are the most well-liked games? In the eighth grade class the games with the most appeal are, without a doubt, the new video games. Pac Man fever seems to have caught on in epidemic proportions. Despite the latest video craze, old tradi- tions die hard, and board games are still popular as ever. Games such as checkers, chess, and monopoly are still in demand. Sports, athletics, whatever you wish to call them, are also games. They are enjoyed all year round, and are played anywhere from backyards to mammoth stadiums. Occasionally they are played for money, but most of the time they are just played for fun. Because sports increase coor- dination and are a terrific way to People - 131 f wasem ma Doug Lake Lisa Land Paul Lash Steve Lengacher Amy Lewis Sean Lewis Karen Lothamer Ron Mancini Kristi Martin Daryl McConnell Troy McDaniel Brad Menshy Walter Miazga Shelly Miller Kelly Neuhouser Kelly Nichols Rachel Palmer Reann Panchev Melanie Poe Shellie Poling Megan Prough —photo by Michelle Yoder Before putting his plan of strategy into acton, Tim Baldwin takes a moment to contemplate his next move.

The SAIL Class held the only of- ficially sanctioned Christmas par- ty in the building. But they had good reason. For the second year the class raised $180 through the good old give-what-you-can system, to pay for presents and a party for underprivileged kids from the Allen County Day Care Center. They began preparing for the party by setting up numerous committees, some that began work as much as a month in ad- vance. These committees were in charge of doing things from rais- ing money to finding music. All the preparation paid off on December 16 when the six children came to Leo. They were greeted by ushers who were in charge of seeing to it the children were entertained. What an understatement! Besides just giving these kids gifts, the SAIL class had provided refreshments and decorations to create a festive mood. The jolly atmosphere climaxed with the ar- rival of Santa Claus. (Now understand, this next part is confidential. It would not do for this to get out.) Santa was por- trayed by Mr. Wayne Gillett, who had also driven the children from the Day Care, arrived in the tradi- tional red suit (Sorry, no reindeer) and presented the gifts with the flourish and features of Old St. Nick himself. The Freshmen also presented a Christmas skit, Twas the Night -photo by Jen Handin a less enthusiastic guest is made to feel at home by Leslie Yoder and Gene Davis at the SAIL Christmas party. 134 A People Bart Albright Tammy Bailey Tania Ball Brian Bauman Grant Beatty Bruce Beerbower Don Bender Mary Blauser David Boyce Joe Brandenberger Jessica Brandt Tom Brewer Krista Bute Jackie Butler JoAnn Cavanaugh Mindy Christman Cheryl Clark Bobbi Clay Lee Conn Boyd Coolman Rod Cox Anita DeLaBarre Kim Delagrange Michelle Delagrange Brig Dellinger Jon Douglas Terry Doyle Mike Dwyer DeniseGaluoppo Brad Garretson Tina Gee Laura Gehrig Craig Good Amy Grayless Deb Greer Mark Handerson Sharon Handlin Gary Hensley Edgard Herran Allen Hetrlck Eric Hobson Matt Kelly Michelle Kies Irene Kissner Christa Korte Laurie Kroemer John Kurtz Pam Kurtz Kurt Lengacher Chris Lowden Debra Lowry Jai Markowski Keith Martin Mike McCullers Wendy McDaniel David Means Diana Meyers Randy J.

Half went to Haight-Ashbury, and half to Vietnam. Today it ' s the prep- pies versus the punks. Half dream of New York City and half of Boston. It seems to be a never-ending battle with the liberals and radicals on one side and the con- servatives on the other, in this in- stance the punks and the prep- pies. In the Sophomore Class, battle-lines are already being drawn. The punks claim the preppies are boring , stuck-up and straightlaced while the prep- pies swear the punks are ' ' animals, totally wild, outrageous, and disgusting! Rene Castator says, I would rather be preppy because I think people who are punk act very childish, while Richard Kelley says that square is for stupid people. The most obvious statement of one ' s ' ' preppiness ' ' or punkness is usually their mode of fashion. You can almost bet if someone has purple hair they aren ' t a member of the Manhat- tan Transfer and Barry Manilow fan clubs. Pam Shaffer claims she would, rather be punk anyday, and that, it would be neat to wear skintight pants, leather, and have a different color of hair for every week. Tom Herendee knows he ' s a punker as well because, I eat raw fish, want a green mohawk, and wear leather pajamas to bed. Leah Thornhill likes the punk idea just because you don ' t have to worry about mat- ching clothes. „ ., „ „, . ,_ — Beth Gottfried D Sophomores People 7139 m mm Barry Letters Shelly Lengacher Tricia Leichty Jackie Liggett Renee Linn Chris Lovett Mike Lovett Mark Lowden Kelly Martin Robin McEntarfer Rick McMahan Debbie Means Melissa Medcalf Carol Meinerding Keith Miller Rhonda Mishler Debra Moreau Cindy Morris Kris Mosier Julie Moss Phil Neuhouser Suzanne Newport Scott Parr Mike Perkins Randy Perron Mike Peters Karen Pf ister Kelly Platter Carmen Reschly Darin Roth Jay Rothgeb Rob Sanders Erik Schindler Stacey Seiler Pam Shaffer Flashy clothes and outrageous make- up create a look that is unmistakably punk.

As anyone in the Junior Class can testify, there are at least a million and one things to do just for kicks. The most popular place to go seems to be the mall where you can do practically anything. When asked how she spends her time at Glenbrook, Louisa Galuoppo replied, go into stores and act like I ' m super rich so everybody stares at me in disbelief. Get rowdy; like ten push-ups in the middle of the mall or dance to the music of the organ player at one of the stores, is Chris Kelley ' s answer to fighting boredom. Of course, while you ' re there you can always spend money as well, which seems to be a big favorite of just about everybody ' s. To have fun you don ' t always have to go someplace in particu- lar. Sometimes a simple out is the only real answer to be given when asked where you ' re going. Ben Funnell likes to ride his bicy- cle a hundred miles on a hot summer day, and Scott Harris likes to freak people out on my (dirt) bike. Where a little less physical exercise is involved, Tim Strauss likes to get in my ' 70 Chevy Malibu and cruise around Fort Wayne with some of my friends. When asked what their favorite pastime is, many people would tell you Eat! And what do they like to eat? Anything from peanut but- ter and marshmallow sandwiches, which is what Lauri Swartz craves when the midnight munchies hit, to Peggy Roy ' s choice of blue- berry pancakes and chocolate mint chip ice cream.

What a bummer! exclaimed Vicki Kerlin. Her words seemed to express the feelings of nearly everyone. After several years of open project period, the students were upset with the change. This year feels like we ' re in a trap, was a common complaint. One student went on to say that in order for students to want to learn, they need both restrictions and freedom. Classes provide restrictions, and open project periods allow some time to relax, Erin Doyle explained. It makes the school like a prison. Most senior high stuudents are responsible enough to handle forty mintues of freedom, com- mented Rhonda Slentz. Different students disliked the switch for different reasons. Some didn ' t like the closed-in feeling. Others felt that having to get passes to go from room to room was a big hassle. All sorts of rumors had been flying around as to the real reason why Dr. Stuelpe had changed project period from open to closed. When asked why, he replied, I don ' t like having to coop up the students in a small area; however, because of construction, I do not have an area which I can make available to senior high students without interfering with junior high classes. That pretty well sums it up. The decision to close project period was not one that anyone wanted to make, but because of the con- fusing construction, it was a necessary one. — Patty SouderD 146 A Seniors People Kim Burkett James Burns Kara Butler David Carnahan Elizabeth Carpenter Holly Caswell Karen Cavanaugh Donald Caywood David Christman Mark Clark Rodney Cole Dawn Craig JoAnn DeLaBarre Denneen DeWitt Darlene Delagange Leigh Delagrange Marlene Delagrange Ren Delagrange Seniors People 7 147 mm Todd Delagrange Erin Doyle Debbie Erb Laurel Garman Lynn Gerig Mary Glass Darrell Graber DuaneGuingrich Deborah Harrod Robert Heiser ' Karen Herendeen Bruce Hill Susan Hobson Michelle Horn Susan Huguenard Tami Jones Yvonne Keller Scott Kelley Victoria Kerlin Dawn Kitzmiller 148 - Seniors People Dawn Klaehn Bobbie Klea Mike Krause Ronda Krugh Paula Ladd Kay Lee per Maria Letters Danny Leslie -photo by Jim McKmley A Lesson InTP ' ing For Senior Girls -photo by Susan Huguenard 4 The Preparation: Go to Eichel ' s grocery store with at least six people. Look for the cheapest toilet paper (usually Elf brand) and with the help of your friends carry approximately 37 rolls to the cash register. Gig- gle. Tell the cashier that you heard there was going to be a toilet paper shortage and you wanted to stock up. Laugh at your joke. The Act: Pile all seven people into your four-seater car. Giggle. Drive to another friend ' s house who is out on a date and won ' t be home until late. Be sure he has a good deal of trees in his yard. Make plans to jump in the ditch and meet back at the car if you are caught. Quickly open the car door and jump out. Someone slams the car door shut. Everybody stares at that person and say Shhh. Gig- gle. Giggle. Split the rolls of toilet paper up among you and tip-toe across the lawn. Spread out and begin throwing the rolls into trees. The Getaway: Get really brave and TP the front porch. Yell Someone ' s coming and watch your friends run like maniacs. Say only kid- ding and laugh until you wet your pants. When finished, step back and admire your work. Gig- gle. Get everyone on the front porch, ring the doorbell, and run for your life towards the car screaming all the way. Tear off, squealing the tires as you go. The Aftermath: Monday morning, when you get to school, ask your victim if he liked the present you left him. Laugh. Giggle.

Geoffrey and the Chaucers began as a joke, but with many hours of practice and dedication it turned into a bigger joke. They set a precedent by being the first English Literature Punk Rock Group. It began in Mrs. Piatt ' s English Literature class on a typical spr- ing day. The class was required to memorize a poem written in Old English by Geoffrey Chaucer who died in 1400. Each student had to recite the poem in front of the class. After about the 18th recita- tion, Duane Guingrich and I decid- ed it would be funny to put the poem to punk rock. Tom Over- myer offered to play the drums and we soon had a group going. Dave Wells would play the electric guitar; Mark Neuhouser, the trumpet; and Jason Bufe, guitar and cowbell. I would play the elec- tronic piano, and Duane would sing. Our first performance was for the school gong show before a surprised but rowdy audience. We next performed an in-school con- cert. Craig Waldrop joined the group playing the drums and Tom moved to bass guitar and vocal. More than 200 people paid to hear English Literature set to music with songs like Put Your Lit Book On My Shoulder , and Another One Flunks the Test. The group raised more than $35 which they donated to the ad- vancement of English Literature. The Cha ucers also played for outdoor skits, pep sessions, and during project periods. Our final performance was a change from their usual style. We dressed for- mally and played Rockin ' the Paradise for the drill squad ' s half-time show at a boys ' basket- ball game. —photo by Jim McKmley Curt Miller □ Knut Norberg Kenneth Osborn Thomas Overmyer John Parkinson Nancy Pfister Steve Pick Kevin Pocock Raymond Pulver William Rayl Seniors People 151 m Kristen Ridderheim Richard Roberts Kim Roth Laura Saum Carla Schwartz Kristin Scott Susan Scudder Sharon Shepard John Shidler Jim Shoemaker Rodney Sinn Rhonda Slentz DATING . . . A LOST ART Although dating in high school can provide some of the best times, it can also, unex- pectedly, provide some of the most embarrassing moments. To help us prove our point, we summoned the seniors to share with us a few of their more memorable dating ex- periences. We got tales ranging from running over a date ' s foot when starting the truck, to be- ing spied on by friends, throughout an entire evening. There were also stories of go- ing to a party with a date only to find out that the party was the week before; or of having to wear army boots to a movie because shoes were somehow forgotten. Embarrassing things happen at any given time on a date, but one would hope that the trou- ble would not begin before leaving the driveway. We discovered, though, that even this simple hope fails to be true. One senior confided that he ran into his date ' s parents ' car because she was already distracting him while he was backing out of her driveway. Is there no hope for evading disaster on a date? Just remember to stay calm and cool, and everything will go fine . . . but more important, remember to keep your hands in your lap while eating to avoid spilling your dinner on you — I know from experience. — Karen Herendeen □ — photo by Jim McKmiey Dancing to a slow number, Leigh Delagrange and Matt Meinerding relax after he finished playing in the Hamilton game. 152 - Seniors People Patricia Souder Gail Steigerwald Doyle Steury Kristine Steury Al Stovall Marcy Strauss Theresa Strong Tammy Thompson Terral Vlot Craig Waldrop Jeff Walters David Wells James Wittwer Jeff Wright Lori Yoder Michelle Yoder Brian Yost Valerie Zych Seniors People 7153 m i S. .

Horse rails, cedarplank siding, and even a windmill, endow a person with the distinct feeling that he ' s back in the nineteenth century. Back in 1898 Joe Grabill purchased a 70 acre farm on which the town of Grabill is located today. After Mr. Grabill bought this land he was told that a railroad would be constructed on his premises. He then sold a small amount of land to the developers. After the railroad was constructed, there was a need for a depot. Mr. Grabill suggested that it should be built on his land and on January 1, 1901, the first train came through. As people settled around the depot they decided to call the new town West Maysville. Grabill then became the name of the town due to confusion between Maysville (now Harlan) and West Maysville. yesterday ' s traditions linger with the realities of today Although Grabill still keeps with the time it retains the past in many ways. Cars and electricity reflect the modern age in Grabill, but the Amish culture keeps the past alive. The lifestyle of the Amish is plain but extraordinary. Horses and buggies supply the power for farm work and means of transportation. Existing without modern conveniences, the lifestyle of the Amish seems austere. However, the presence of these Plain Peo- ple contributes much to the past-oriented town ol Grabill. In appreciation of this unique situation many shop owners in Grabill decided to have their town reflect its heritage. Buildings displaying rustic exteriors anc owners producing their own products reinforce the pride the residents feel for their historic environment. — Doug Dilley C 156 - Feature Community ■BRBB One of the few buildings left from the original town of West Maysville, or what is now known as Grabill, houses H.

THI MIM J M1MMTIW The OLD LUMBERYARD SHOPS, located in Grabill, is a collection of eight shops collaborating with each other to create an aura of living as it might have been a century ago. Looking somewhat like a barn house combination, the building provides these businesses with great location and rustic exterior. As we enter this structure from Main Street, we notice the first of the shops open for business. The BUSY BRUSH, directly on the left, is owned by Pat Delagrange, who also owns the entire building. She is an accomplished artist with many creative ideas. Mrs. Delagrange rents out the remaining unoccupied spaces to other newborn businesses. FLOWERS OF GRABILL, just across the walkway from the BUSY BRUSH, is a delightful shop to be in. The fresh aroma from all the different flowers leaves a feeling like sending a friend a bouquet. Dianne Neuhouser is the owner of this store. As we stroll on down a few more steps, we come to GREAT PANES GLASS CO. and PLATTERPOTS, both of which are operated by the Platter family. GREAT PANES, Dallas Platter ' s specialty, makes colorful stain- ed glass creations while Cheri Platter creates many unusual pots, formed from clay, are for sale at PLAT- TERPOTS. Both of these businesses are located in one shop. KNOTS THINGS, owned by Carol Wood, is a small wonderland of adventure. Mrs. Wood does all the macrame items found in this shop. Her talents are presented in the beautiful items she created with cord, beads, and woodburning. Next, we come to a quilt shop, THE HEN HOUSE. The operators of this shop are Glenda Sanders and Mary Sutton, who do most of the sewing for displays in the shop. As the name implies, many quilted hens may be found throughout the store, as well as stuffed dolls, and materials that are used to create that special dress or blouse you ' ve always wanted. THE LOG ' S END STUDIO, operated by Jim and Shirley Steininger, specializes in silk screen printing. They will print any message desired on a variety of sur- faces including napkins, t-shirts, and towels. The WOODMEN ' S CORNER, which is also operated by Mr. and Mrs. Steininger, constructs a variety of dif- ferent furniture items: bookshelves, picture frames, and many more wood items. As everyone knows, shopping can make a person hungry. So, to solve this predicament, there is the SOUP MILL.

This way of life is in my blood and bones, since I originally lived in a small town, stated Mr. Bob Shaw, a business teacher at the high school. He continued, The population is smaller, so everyone knows each other. And the pace is slower, too, which I like. I also find the Amish fascinating. It is exactly this closeknit, slower paced, homey at- mosphere that is so attractive to the many who find their way to Leo-Grabill. Just a short drive northeast of Ft. Wayne, Leo is attractively nestled in the farmland surrounding the St. Joe River banks. Many people who work in the city enjoy the rural qualities of living in the country. Many, many others are discovering the beau- ty of the area, as well as the blossoming mecca of arts and crafts shops. Leo-Grabill is fast becoming the little Nashville (Ind.) of the north. Even though the economy  ' tf ... ■ —  is in a recession, new shops and small businesses are popping up all over like mice at a cheese festival. Simple pleasures and school and neighborhood ac- tivities provide most of the social life for the residents. Teenagers visit with their friends, and can stop at the Pizza Treat or Ice Cream Alley for a snack. Several groups use the school gym, tennis courts, and baseball diamonds. Others can be found playing barn ball at the parks. If Ft. Wayne can be called The City of Churches, then Leo-Grabill is certainly the country cousin with 15-20 congregations of its own in the immediate area. Indeed, it is this back-to-nature, God, home, and family that draws people to seek out the beauty and peace of this area. And once they come, they stay. — Doug Dilley □ No matter the state of the economy, people still need to eat. Newly enlarged and relocated near the high school, Eichel ' s Market provides a convenient place to do the family marketing. Randy Eichel keeps the shelves fully stocked after he gets out of school. 160 h Feature Community — photo by Scott Caywood Milk weed pods burst open spreading their silky loveliness across the fields on the gentle fall breezes.

Ads Community - 167 p m ALUMNS MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES How does a successful high school athlete repay his or her community for the support and enthusiasm they have given the athlete? Although many students go on to college, only a few con- tinue to pursue their athletic careers once there. This is one way to repay the communi- ty. During an athlete ' s career, he brings pride and respect to his hometown and by continuing that career, it adds to that pride. Ask anyone in the Ft. Wayne area where New York Jet ' s running back Mike Augustyniak hails from, and the majority will correctly list Leo. Mike is not the only Augustyniak who has continued his athletic career beyond high school. His sister Laura is attending Northwestern University on basketball scholarship. Currently playing offensive back for the N.Y. Jets, Leo standout Mike Augustyniak had been a walk-on star at Purdue before that. — photo courtesy of Ft Wayne Journal Gazette 168 h Athletes Community HffiHHHHRWHHHH A college athlete brings pride and con- fidence to fellow high school teammates, as well as the community. As former teammate Susie Robbins reflected, One of the proudest moments of my life was when I heard them announce Tonya Burns ' name at Market Square Arena dur- ing the Indiana-Kentucky All Star Game. Tonya is now on scholarship at Iowa State University. Many athletes do not continue playing once they leave high school, but repay their community just the same. Many return to coach the high school and junior high teams. One of the most suc- cessful coaches this year was Andy Over- myer, a 1981 graduate. He led his junior high wrestling team to a perfect 8-0 season. Other grads who coached at Leo this year were: Phil Bollier, asst. Football; Cindy Wilson, Varsity Volleyball; Kent Roth, 9th Football; and Rollie Minnick, Boys ' Tennis and asst. Baseball. Mike Lederman, another Leo graduate, attained success both as an athlete and as a coach. After leaving Leo, Mike played basketball at the University of Florida. After an outstanding college career, he was hired to coach at a Florida high school. Presently, he assists former Pur- due coach Lee Rose at University of South Florida in Tampa. The success of these graduates as players and coaches reflects the quality of the coaches and the athletic program here at our school. — Leigh DelagrangeH Reaching high above her opponents ' heads, freshman starter Tonya Burns controls the rebound for her college team, Iowa State University.

After this past winter this quaint little phrase should be officially dropped from the English language. And after that, the city of Ft. Wayne should hold a huge party out in the sunshine where the SNOW would be ceremonially stomped to bits. This terri- ble death would be appropriate for something that has caused so many problems. Snow. That wonderful white stuff whose praises have been sung by everyone from der Bingle to Frosty the Snowman has caused more, much more, than its fair share of problems this year. These ranged from minor inconveniences to near catastrophes. Sure, snow is lovely at Christmas time, but the white stuff ■■H mmwswmsaaB am that first started falling December 17, pil- ed up over the next 3 l A months, breaking all existing snow depth records. Besides providing over two weeks of snow days to area students, that nasty stuff even went so far as to fall during Spr- ing Break, too. Now, most years, snow just quietly disappeared from the scene leaving only mud and a few puddles. This year those puddles got a little out of hand. The heavy 6 ' of snow melting all at once succeeded in ballooning the three rivers of Ft. Wayne into one giant lake. If a person caused as many problems as snow has this year, they would be con- sidered criminals and ostracized from society. Why can ' t that be done with snow? It wouldn ' t take that long to pass legislation outlawing, or at least declaring grounds for insanity, the utterance of the word snow in a positive context. If found guilty of the crime, a person would serve a life sentence filling sandbags and having the entire defensive line of the San Francisco Forty Niners throw them unmercifully at him. The defendant would, of course, be ineligible for parole and never allowed to wear gloves. Insani- ty would definitely be the defendant ' s best plea. After 70-plus inches of snow, subartic temps, devastating floods, and generally lousy weather, there is something seriously wrong with anyone who would still discuss snow in a rational manner. Even Earl Finkle ' s weather reports in July would not help. Exhausted from hours of battling the flood waters, the senior guys take a much-needed break in the Coliseum basement. — photo by Doyle Steury The raging St. Joe covers the banks and everything else in its path as it rises threateningly towards the busy Spy Run Avenue. — photo by Connie Anderson Rushing to the aid of families in Witmer Park, volunteers toss bags per- son to person and finally onto sandbag dikes in a desperate measure to keep the St. Joe River from flooding the homes. — photo by Jim Blomberg Community It 175 But wait! Perhaps the poor soul has amnesia. Perhaps he doesn ' t remember the Siberian Express blasting into the Fort promptly every Friday afternoon for _ _ , vm SIX weekends in a row in January and ffttH HP February. He can ' t recall the thrill of spending 45 minutes driving the 3 miles to the grocery, only to stand in line another 45 minutes to buy peanut butter and dog food. Nor can he remember the emotions felt at seeing the first signs of spring, and two days later watching his stereo floating to its new home in Ohio while he surrenders his house to the fish. He didn ' t shovel his share of he 32,000 tons of sand into the 1,000.000 or so sandbags and he didn ' t have the honor of shaking President Reagan ' s hand while the President posed for pictures.

However, long lines piled up as traffic slowed to a standstill in some places. — photo by Connie Anderson won ' t be recovering from strained muscles received when some clown shouted Hold it! while he was caught lugging a 50 sandbag in an awkward position. His memories aren ' t of spending Easter worrying about the Easter Bunny catching pneumonia and leaving tracks in the snow. And he ' ll probably never, never fully understand why suddenly he has developed a phobia of deep pile white carpet, sandboxes, and even Florida beaches. But what if we tried to tell him th| truth, inform him of what he ' s missed? What would he do then? Wait for the; punch line — or maybe just prepare for the tornado season. —Beth GottfriedC mm When the dikes weakened to the consistency of toothpaste, several senior guys, along with thousands of other volunteer sandbaggers, formed chains in Lawton Park to work on strengthening the dikes. — photo by Doyle Steury Wading through nearly knee-deep water, Tom Herendeen cools off after a long day.

One of the many groups performing in the Spring Fine Arts Festival, the Junior High Choir sings under the direction of Mr. Jack Flick. Putting discomfort aside, the audience in the steamy gym was treated to an EVENING OF FINE ARTS 7:00 P.M. The parking lot began to fill with early arrivers, and people slowly trickled into the gym. Outside the sky was grey and drab, but inside the gymnasium was full of light. Even the air had a tinge of tenseness and excitement to it. 7:30 P.M. Packed with people and per- formers, the gym grew hot. Eagerly waiting the opening numbers, the au- dience shifted in the chairs. Mr. Roy McBane crossed the floor, stopped in front of the Junior High Band, and raised his hands. The evening of music and art began. The second annual Spring Fine Arts Festival attracted more of the public than ever. During the first half the audience was treated by performances of the 180 - Spring Concert Community 4Iii 31! Junior High Band and Choir, the Girls ' Glee Club, and the Swing Choir. After the Swing choir had finished its last rousing number there was a ten minute intermis- sion in which the parents mingled with the student artists whose works were hanging on one of the gymnasium ' s walls. The second half of the concert consisted of music performed by the High School Band and the Concert Choir. To top off their high school years of music, seniors Dawn Kitzmiller, Patty Souder, Darlene Delagrange, and Marlene Delagrange each gave a solo performance. Handing out the long- awaited senior awards, Lin- da Moudy of the Cedar Creek Women ' s Club presented both of the band and choir trophies.

Finally, a combined ef- fort by the Girls ' Glee Club and the Con- cert Choir climaxed the show. 11:00 P.M. The gym was empty and dark. Nothing was left except for deserted chairs and bleachers and a few crumpled programs lying on the floor. The remainders only managed to give a hint of what had gone on there. Outside the sky was black, but the hearts of those who had recently witnessed the display of talent were warm with admiration and pride. —Patty SouderU Hanging on the bleacher wall set aside for Senior Exhibits, Susan Huguenard ' s mixed media picture displayed its ribbon for Best of Show.
