They say high school years are the best time of a person’s life. Whether it be at a practice, at a game, shopping at the mall, or just plain watching T.V., ev- eryone likes to have fun. Each individual has a different per- sonality and attitude, which makes them fun to be around. Whether it is acting silly or walking a straight line, good friends are what make the GOOD TIMES good. “During a break from the rigors of pom pom camp, seniors Laura Kennedy, Laurie Nelson, Annelise Carter, and Bridgette VanSchoyck share in the fellowship of fruit juice, suckers, and a serious game of Old Maid.” Nothing But The Good Times Good Times Seniors Rich Young, Doug Saylor, She lly Lapezynski, Laurie Nelson, Jeff Stayback, George Farlie, Annelise Carter, John Jurkowski, and more give it all they have got during the “Class Olympics” tug of war.

Wothing But The Good Times GF Chitita’ Cum At New Prairie students would rather chill than do their homework. They chill before, after, and during school. They lay back and kick up their feet when they are bored, tired, or just want to think. During lunch, when people are leaning against the walls and sitting on the floors ... they are chillin’. Chris Dillon chills as he chows down on a Twinkie and a Hawaiian Punch during lunch. Kip Kronewitter feels like dying, after lifting 200 Ibs.

Scarves also made a strong comeback. New fashions also ap- peared on the New Prairie Cres fashion scene. Deck shoes were really big. Friendship bracelets were seen on every wrist, and of course, “every bootie” was wearing Guess?. Make love — not war. Nothin’ But The Good Times 6 Cougar Craze Scarves dress-up any outfit.

At New Prairie anything worth doing well means a Commitment To Ex- cellence. New Prairie indi- viduals appreciate their free time, but also realize there is a time to be serious. Stu- dents take time out of their schedules to participate in after school sports. Every in- dividual works extremely hard to make all of his or her efforts pay off. That is what makes a real Commitment To Excellence. Girls’ Golf Team members take turns putting during practice. During tennis practice, Damon Swope works on returning serves. John Arndt takes off for a mile run during Cross Country practice.

Knowledge and experience gained in school may be the key to a person’s future. Many different classes are offered to New Prairie stu- dents. These classes include courses in such subjects as Math, History, Foreign Lan- guage, and Physical Educa- tion. 16 stcademtes [Jon As well as being a learning experience, school should be fun. Sophomore Kenny Shipley likes his journalism class best because ‘‘We are on our own more and we do not have to listen to a teach- er lecture all hour.” Even though some stu- dents feel differently, it is possible to get a good edu- cation and enjoy doing it. Tom Eggleston, sophomore, takes a break from his studies during his English class. Juniors Janell Crowl and Meagen Demeyer type away furiously as James Favere sits in ease.

Necessary For Lyfe heenguage Learning how to commu- nicate intellectually with people is one of the most important things a school can offer. New Prairie has a variety of language courses. Everyone has to take four years of English, but there are also foreign languages. Spanish is one of the most popular electives, followed by French. Mr. Shroyer, one of our new teachers at New Prairie, feels that “English has become the language of the world. To communicate effectively it is important that we understand our lan- guage on anumber of differ- ent levels.” Students pile at the door waiting anxiously for the bell to ring. Mr. Groendyke gets ready to start another day of teaching. Sophomores decide English is not important and talk during class. Junior English can be fun when you have seniors in the class. 4 But The Good 7 1S ja G cmes Atatory Reutewed Pr octat Peaie Lessons from the past pre- pare students for the future, and this is the purpose of the Social Studies department at New Prairie. History, Gov- ernment, and Economics are designed to make students aware of the political United States. Psychology and Soci- ology tutored the students in the study of the social workings of man and how his mind reacts to the world around him. The Govern- ment and Economics classes presented guest speakers throughout the year for the students. Mr. Colborne has a bleak discussion with senior Mark Lehker about Schenck vs. U.S. Mr. Eldridge finally decided to let Ron Marron get a piece of his mind in first hour Econ. Mr. Olson popped one of his quizzy poos in History disappointing the entire class.

New Prairie newcomer Dr. Wolfe, who teaches Chemistry and Biol- ogy, joined his colleagues Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Spier in commenting on his prom- ising classes. Veteran chem- istry teacher Mr. Woolsey wryly noted that ‘the big thing is finishing the entire Advanced Chemistry book.” Freshman Garry Phillips works on a biology lab. New Chemistry teacher, Mr. (Dr.) Wolfe, explains the theories of positive and negative results. Mr. Spier passes back the results of an Earth Science test to his students.

Geometry and general math teacher Mrs. Gonder joined the staff with enthusi- asm this year. Department Chairman Mrs. Lindley told Prairie Life that math teachers “hope to create an atmosphere of learning and fun.” Freshmen decide to make their homework a community assignment.

Following a summer ro- mance, the two are split apart. But, when Sandy’s dad is transferred by his job, to another town, Sandy and Danny are reunited. Unfortunately, as Sandy learns when they meet in the school yard, Danny has changed his tune. Not only is Sandy crushed to see him ig- nore her, she finds out that he’s been lying to his friends about her. While Sandy then be- comes involved in a wild group of girls called the Pink 4G Ladies, Danny and his group, called the T-Birds, maintain their never-ending search for beautiful women. It isn’t easy for Sandy, though, to turn away from the straight and narrow path of her family to the one fol- lowed by the Pink Ladies. However, urged on by Frenchy (Crissy Groff), Sandy decides that if she really wants Danny back she’s go- ing to have to show him that she, too, can strut her stuff. Enlisting Frenchy's exper- tise, Sandy develops a plans to win Danny’s heart. At the fair, Sandy shows him a thing or two in tight black pants and high heels.

The class of 1990 is one of balance and symmetry. The students value knowledge and intelligence yet manage to have loads of fun. For football homecoming, the juniors decorated an old bus, stood on its flatbed, and chanted cheers toward vic- tory. The juniors provide a backbone for the New Prai- rie athletic programs. Their optimism, which won them the spirit stick as sopho- mores, is building again, and shall reign. The future sen- iors, who completed a suc- cessful year with many out- standing displays at their annual band and choir con- tests, look forward to im- provement and perfection in their last year. The members will use their spirit to build on this year’s experience for next year’s success. Jim Lewis II enjoys a nutritional ice cream sandwich during lunch!
