Senior Homecoming Candidates Rachael Tukos, Wendy Plank, and Kari Johnson take a ride around the football field. Come see Russ and Ryan weekday mornings at the Cougar Corner. 2 Be True To Your School Let Your Colors Fly et Your Colors Our school is exploding year by year. Blue and Gold Cougars are showing their true colors by partici- pating in spirit week, attending pep sessions, and going to games. The student body is backing the Cou- gars through the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. This year was a year of changes for Hew Prairie. We were faced with a new principal as well as a new vice-principal, new traditions were started like decorating the halls for Christmas and the Mistletoe Ball. A Student Senate was formed and with their leadership and spirit new Prairie was changed into a school where students were proud to go to and were eager to participate in ac- tivities. new Prairie is proud to let their colors fly. Fans show their enthusiasm by waving the balloons that the cheerleaders passed out for them to pop at the first Mew Prairie basket. The fire hydrant was transformed this year when members of the Cross Country Team painted it for school spirit. The flag girls keep sparkling along with their new uniforms. Be True To Your School Let Your Colors Fly Auto mechanic students, junior Dave Kazmierzak and senior Steve Holt, work on the brakes of a car during their auto mechanics class. uture Plans Two fries, fifteen Big Macs, four Quarter Pounders with Cheese, and six chocolate shakes! This is something commonly heard by senior Danielle Coffman who has an after-school job at a fast food restaurant. She plans to attend col- lege next year and is saving her money for it. Junior nick Fickel works at Sauers washing cars. He works to pay for his car. Hick says, I work to pay for my car. I have a car so I can work.” That seems to be a com- mon phrase among the guys at Hew Prairie. To pay for his social activities , junior John Arndt washes dishes and cooks at Mel's Diner in Hew Carlisle. Many of today's teens use the money they make at there jobs on activities outside of school. Having an after school job is be- coming a regular part of every high school student's life. It helps to pay for all the material things that teens seem to need. It also gives us an opportunity to learn about how to get along in the job world. 4 Be True To Your School Future Plans Wanting to pursue an art career, senior Kathleen Coffeen, has studied art for four years at new Prairie. To save money for college, senior Jenny Mumane works as a cook in a local restaurant. Many high school students work at Arby's including junior Peter Leason. After a hard nights work at Heston Bar, senior Lisa McCoy and sophomore Lisa Mumane clean up the kitchen. Be True To Your School Future Plans Look There are many areas of our school that people seldom take the time to notice. One of these is the locker areas. Can you imagine what life would be like without a locker? A person would have to carry their books and supplies from class to class all day. Sounds tiring! Many people decorate their lockers with everything from pictures to mirrors. One of the most original lockers can be found in the junior locker area. Steve King has carpeted the inside of his locker with brown shag and plans to install a strobe light as soon as his finances permit. Another area of our school peo- ple tend to take for granted is the locker rooms. These rooms serve many purposes. Teammates and coaches consider them to be con- ference rooms. Team strategies and lineups are decided here. Locker rooms are also a place for people to talk. Before and after practices people have a chance to discuss things dealing with school in general, not just the current sport. 6 Be True To Your School Inside Look Often coaches decorate their athlete's lockers with things that are funny, strange, or inspiring. Senior Theresa Cowgill stands by her locker which swim coach Kathy nova decorated. Senior Ryan Pesce, who is involved in cross-country and track, used pictures from running magazines to give his locker a personal touch. Between classes sophomores, Pat Williams and Janelle Crowl stow their books in their lockers. Junior Steve King carpeted his locker with the carpet from his room and plans to install a strobe light soon. Sophomores Sheryl Gilchrist and Anissa Maxwell stand by Anissa s locker during passing periods. Be True To Your School Inside Look Patricia Carvalho says that in Brazil clothes are more colorful, especially shoes. Although Adrian Wiedmer doesn't swim much in Switzerland, he decided to try his luck in it by joining the boy's swim team this year. Ana Sanchez says the first thing she noticed when she got to the United States was the climate. Where she lives it is usually dry and hot. Q Be True To Your School Exchange Students Exchange Mew Prairie has once again be- come a cultural atmosphere for ex- change students. This year hew Prairie is honored to have students from Brazil, Mexico, and Switzer- land attending classes. Patricia Carvalho was at home in ITenuque, Minas Gerais, Brazil when she saw a special program about sending students to Ameri- ca. She called for more informa- tion, her parents agreed, and she arrived at Cindy Wolak's home on February 8, 1987. When Patricia goes back to Brazil she would like to see some of the countries around there. I'd like to take some time to learn about the things I closed my eyes to before. Maybe I'll learn another language and travel to Europe, she stated. Ana Sanchez, from Chihuahua, Mexico, arrived at the Everill household two weeks before school started. Ana praised the school system by saying, The teaching is practi- cal here and not theoretical. In Mexico she studied calculus but never learned its practical use until now. When Ana goes back to Mexico she plans to take a placement test for the Technical College of Chi- huahua and study industrial rela- tions. Adrian Wiedmer from Jenuis, Switzerland, arrived on August 14th at the home of Tony and Chris Curtis. After attending the season open- ing football game, he could not be- lieve that approximately 4,000 peo- ple PAID to see the game. Back home only 10 to 20 people go to an event and they don't even have to buy a ticket, he said. When Adrian returns he plans to go back to school for a year, enter the army, and possibly come back to the United States and live for 10- 15 years but not forever. I really like the United States, but I love the country I was born and raised in. Be True To Your School Q Exchange Students As always, seniors Rob Risner and Steve Schroeder stay with the styles as they wear their iced denim jeans. The swim team members, seniors Tom Lode, Kyle Young, Doug liynek, and junior Craig Dale have a different opinion on what really is in style this year. Old styles always return even in shoes and a pair of Stacey Sifords boots prove this. Jean Jackets are one of the most popular styles this year and junior Mark Dillon adds his personal touch to the jean jacket phase with his hand painted jacket. -| Be True To Your School Fads And Fashions By walking up and down the halls of Hew Prairie you could get a good idea of the fashions that are hot and of those that are definitely not. Unknown to the students, some- times their favorite clothes make them into walking billboards. Frequently seen on t-shirts and sweatshirts was Spuds McKenzie. Spuds is the mascot for Bud Light, a type of beer. This English bullter- rier appears on items ranging from t-shirts to gymbags. It's hard to believe, but the ever- popular blue jeans were still com- ing up in different ways. Faded and iced-denim jeans were worn by ev- eryone. Freshman Koby Moody commented that holey pants'' were big in fashion this year. Freshman Melissa Kirkham thought the hottest jeans to wear were Guess'' by Georgeos Mar- ciano. Guess'' started by manu- facturing just jeans but like many other companies it expanded by making watches, sweaters and even umbrellas. History proved once again to re- peat itself. Teens all over the area started to wear mini and straight skirts once more. Mini-skirt lengths were not daring as in the late 1960's, nevertheless, the boys around here still enjoyed them. When junior Annelise Carter was asked what she thought the most popular fashion of the year was she replied that, Everyone is wearing designer underwear.” Senior Eric Sebasty replied with the typical senior comment of I don't care!” High top Reeboks seem to have a permanent place in fashion. Be True To Your School 1 “I Fads And Fashions -L-l Mr. Wade, awesome math teacher, takes time to pose for the camera. Wade is known as one of the most spirited teachers, always dressing up during spirit week and going to most sporting events. Choir teacher Mrs. Mitchell always seems to be on the run. She teaches Acapella Choir, Concert Choir, Swing Choir and is also the director of the spring musical. Mr. Tolmen, industrial arts, is shown teaching one of his drafting classes. He is the sponsor for the boys and girls Letter Club. Be True To Your School Truly Dedicated ruly Dedicated What better way to talk about be- ing true to your school than talking about the teachers who graduated from Mew Prairie and came back to teach. They all had different rea- sons for coming back. Mr. Shead said, I can understand my stu- dents better since I came from the same type of background.-' The teachers had many different reasons for becoming teachers. Mr. Wade said, I like the idea of help- ing people. Mr. Mathews and Mr. Powers, whom he had as teachers, were his role models. Mr. Tolmen said, ”1 enjoy watching the stu- dents grow and prosper after grad- uation. Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Shead were in high school right at the time when Mew Carlisle and Rolling Prai- rie consolidated. Mrs. Mitchell was in the first class to graduate from new Prairie. The day before they got out for Christmas break of her senior year they came to new Prai- rie and moved things into their new lockers. When they came back from Christmas break all the people from both schools were just thrown together. Mrs. Mitchell remarked, The senior class was all mixed up. Mr. Shead said, When I was in school we didn't have to go to La- Porte or South Bend to meet new people like you do now, we would just go to Rolling Prairie or new Carlisle. Each teacher had his or her own reason for teaching at new Prairie. Mrs. Mitchell is probably speaking for all when she says how much she appreciates the community support of the school's activities.

Mr. Shead is a well Known face at Mew Prairie, he is the head coach for boys basketball and has kept his team in good spirits even when they are behind. Mis winning spirit has made the team victorious. Be True To Your School Truly Dedicated ruising The Town Cruising is a popular pastime for many new Prairie students. It ranks right up with going to the movies as something to do on Friday and Sat- urday night. Some students go up to LaPorte and others travel a little further to South Bend. Generally, when people cruise they like to see who else is cruising. Freshmen Erin Danielson and Mi- chelle McCullough say they like to see people and stand outside in groups by the cars. Senior Chris Mroczkiewicz and junior Mike Serry go uptown to pick up the LaPorte women, look at cars and see peo- ple we know from other schools. As Mike and Chris pass the time they 'stand around, drive around, and look around. Seniors Bob Overmeyer and Doug Klute say they cruise around to look at girls but not necessarily to meet them. Burger King has been the place to be in LaPorte this year. Wendys and Key Cleaners are two popular Mew Prairie spots. Some students choose to drive through town while others prefer to park their cars, turn on stereos and talk with friends. Senior Tom Washburn said, ”1 like to socialize and meet new peo- ple, especially women. Usually though, it is a matter of time before a police officer will ask everyone to leave. Officers are hired by Burger King and other fast food restau- rants to keep everything in order. When asked what he thought of people cruising an officer replied, The kids have better things to do. The biggest problems with cruising is that the kids lack respect and the garbage they leave behind. Seniors, John Sirovy and Rick Christenson cruise by Burger King looking for excitement. On weekends you'll often find Seniors Bobby Ovcrmyer, Doug Klute and Tom Washburn lounging against Tom's car in the parking lot of Wendy's. -t U Be True To Your School JLt Cruising Juniors Craig Ebersole, Bill Qumm and Craig Dale park at Burger King hoping to meet some women.

The week began with the tradi- tional spirit days. Class Olympics were held Thurs- day night and the spirited class of '88 accumulated the most points during the competitions and therefore won the spirit stick; a bon- fire followed the Olympics. During halftime, Wendy Plank was crowned Home- coming Queen and the un- derclassmen were repre- sented well by Stacey Siford, Dana Kopkowski, and Beth Starr.

The game had a strange twist this year com- pared to other years. It was played on a Saturday at 2 o'clock. One of our famous snow days was the culprit. School was closed on the original date planned for the game. The Saturday time was the only date left open on the schedule for basketball games.

When they ar- rive the town is preparing for the marriage of Katie (Carla Scott) and Ezra (John Higgins), neither Ka- tie nor Ezra are happy about their marriage since it was arranged. Katie has an even better reason not to want to marry Ezra; she is in love with Peter Reber (Bill Perz). Dan and Ruth Fancy have been having their own problems. One of the young Amish girls Hilda (Laura Kennedy), has fallen in love with Dan. Ruth begins to think her and Dan weren't meant to stay together. But of course as in all good mu- sicals all the problems are solved and all the couples get together with the right person; Ruth and Dan get back together, Katie and Peter get married, and Hilda finds an Amish boy to her liking.

Mrs. Mova, Mr. Jennings and Mr. Snyder try to make it as enjoy- able for everyone as posssible. Their over-all goal is to teach stu- dents life-time skills that are used in everydaylife. Although it is only mandatory for freshmen and sophomores to take a semester of gym, many upper- classmen sign up for advanced classes. Whether in regular phys.ed. or an advanced class, ev- eryone appreciates a little time out from the regular textbook work. Junior Derek Babcock said, Gym gave me a chance to relax, and I didn't have to worry if I had my homework done.'' For most students, gym served as a much needed break from the regular routine of the school day, as well as a challenging way to learn valuable skills. Doing areobics is hot work!

In this class, they not only study farming but they also cover animal science, crop sci- ence, wildlife, forestry, and other related areas. The neat thing about this class is that the same topics are only studied once every four years. This means if a sophomore wants to continue in Ag. thru his senior year, he will never study the same thing twice. Senior Ag. students Clint Crump and Dan DeMeyer laugh at underclassmen.

Tom Lode, Ben Milcarek, and Mark Martin got detention for putting Bridgette VanSchoyck in the drinking fountain? Dean Schmidt and Dan Demyer got swirlies from the senior guys our freshmen year? Theresa Cowgill went home during first hour to brush her teeth? Rachael Tukos was left in Michigan City after basketball sectionals because her friends thought she was riding with someone else? Karen Horvath belched during a Physics test? Mike Tuszynski wanted to be a gynecologist? Scott Spear threw his chemistry book down the hall the last day of school and it hit Mr. Mathews? Rob Risner would watch chickens to learn how to strut? Mr. Woolsey caught the trash can on fire in chemistry class? Mike Tuszynski and Stacey Wind killed Frick and Frack and Mr. Mathews blamed Jody and Julie Livinghouse? The cross country team tipped over the joy-john while Ryan Pesce was still inside? Chris Koselke beat-up Doug Klute during a football game? Chemistry classes made smores with the bunsen burner and baked biscuits in the incubator? Anyone last used their Hew Prairie High School parking pass for the student parking lot? Russ Allegrete broke his arm dunking a basketball? Mr. Mathews asked Rusty if he thought he'd ever have to go to an obstrecian and he replied, Ho, my eyesight is fine. ? Kyle Young and Clint Crump had afro's our freshmen year? Rick Christenson got caught mooning the whole 6th grade gym class? The whole school got out after first hour because we didn't have any water? It was easy to skip school? 109 The twentieth annual baccalau- reate and commencement took place on Sunday, May 29, 1988 at two o'clock in the afternoon in the M.P.H.S. gymnasium. The weather to say the least was hot and sticky but graduates, parents, family, and friends made it through. After the national Anthem was played gradu- ates marched in to the procession- al Pomp and Circumstance . Co- Valedictorians Karen Horvath and Jody Livinghouse spoke on the im- portance of togetherness in life. The presentation of diplomas went by smoothly and all to soon it was time to end the ceremony. After Cindy Plank motioned for the mov- ing of the tassles, she gave her fare- well to n.P.H.S. speaking on the sadness and joy of leaving the school that we had grown to love. Co-Valedictorians Karen Horvath and Jody Livinghouse give their valedictory message.

They dazzled the seniors by hosting On the Edge of a Dream.'' Mr. Rokosz kept thejun- iors busy with plenty of homework and the dreaded research paper. I finally learned how to conjugate verbs even though I was sleeping everyday!”, said illustrious student Matt Martin. Who knows, maybe while sleeping on top of his conju- gating worksheets osmosis was oc- curing! It seems like just yesterday they entered as freshmen and as the end of the year grew closer, they prepared to take over the big job of being seniors.

To qualify, he placed seventh in the regional meet cover- ing Indiana, Wisconsin, Il- linois, and twelve other states. Dave started running when he was a freshman. Mis first interest in the sport began when he saw Carol Grey, hew Prairie's long distance running star, win the state meet in 1985. Dave plans to run in college, however, he does not have any long term goals set at this point.

OPHOMORE The sophomore class came back to school this year filled with ener- gy and spirit. Whether they were selling magazines for the annual sale or cheering on the Cougars at football and basketball games, they gave it their all. Many of the upperclassmen that drove to school became apprehen- sive at the thought of the sopho- mores behind the wheel of a car, as the majority of them got their li- censes this year, fortunately, for all of us, they turned out to be fairly safe drivers.

Gaps in spoken language can be filled us- ing the language of ges- tures. Your body language says a lot about you be- fore you say a word. Around new Prairie, boredom seems to be a fa- miliar feeling conveyed by body language. One effec- tive form which teachers despise is the yawn. Someone sitting with his arms folded across his chest, legs crossed may give the impression that he is protecting himself. Sitting with an open re- laxed body position gives people the impression that you are open to knowledge, which is what teachers like to see.

F RESHMEN Freshman. What can you say about them that hasn't already been said? They are usually (but not al- ways) small, insecure, and LOUD! Another thing, why is it that fresh- men know all of the upperclassmen and their life history yet none of the upper classmen know them? We asked a select few to answer the question What do you like- dislike most about being a fresh- men? Eric Tobolski replied to this question by saying what a lot of freshmen and juniors probably felt. 1 don't like ISTAP tests! Quite thrown by the question Bill Kraus replied, I'm glad I've got 3 years left. We re still trying to figure that one out. The freshmen really haven't done much this year, just barely survived. Sad isn't it. But cheer up! There's always next year! Dorothy and Mary Pointon show their freshmen class spirit by dressing alike for a class spirit day.
