After discussing several posibilities, so- meone suggested breaking. At first it sounded too trendy, but we came up with nearly forty break phrases which accurate- ly described the school year. Some of them were breaking tradition, breaking records, or breaking awaiy. This year we broke in a new We ' ve observed changes in the rules and changes in the building- itself.

Some of us oined the teachers in their ight for a new contract by wearing propaganda buttons sporting the slogan No con- tract yet. We also had a chance to get away from school when Dr. Myers granted us six snow days.

A record number of students par- ticipated in the dress-up routines of spirit week— hat, tie, and glasses day; western day etc. — and a whole crowd showed up on the balmy evening of the bonfire. Homecoming ' 85 saw the revival of this old tradition; and even though it wasn ' t a chilly evening, it was still fun to mingle close with friends as the flames kicked up into the clear autumn night sky. When Friday came around, the day was dark and gloomy. The students and players dragged themselves around school thinking that it would rain and ruin everything. And it did rain on our parade in the afternoon, but that didn ' t chase away the teacher entry which was a pick-up truck featuring a group of self-proclaimed nerds. That evening Wabash took an ag- gressive lead in the second quarter and went on to dole out a crushing blow to Manchester (54-14).

Audiences laughed as they watched the multitude of funny scenes in Mash. However, some funny scenes were only observed by cast and crew members. Like the comic characters they played in the show, the cast members of Mash were michievious and witty in their own right. An exam- Ele of this was when one actor stuffed alloons (which were supposed to be caused a fellow actor to crack up with laughter. They started the scene over at least five times before things settled down. Another time, several boys shov- ed furniture up against the bathroom door. No, they weren ' t making room for the scenery. Miss Geible was inside. Despite the crazy atmosphere of rehearsals, the cast did work at learning personalities for their characters. Their end goal was to convey a message to the audience. Mash is not merely a play about war. It tells about the valiant ef- forts of doctors and nurses of the 407th to find humor in their daily lives. Without this optimistic outlook on hfe, they would have been overcome by the horror of seeing young men die, and roundings. The cast, whose backstage antics equalled (maybe even topped) the onstage antics of the Mash unit, cer- tainly had no problems getting their message across.

Most people are waiting anx- iously to get out of school, but you feel indifferent. You ' re going skiing for the first time and you aren ' t sure you ' re ready. You ' re thinking to yourself, Can I actually stand on the top of a moun- tain with boards strapped to my feet and go down the slope without falling, break- ing my leg, hitting the lodge, or skiing right off a cliff. You ' re so worried that you jump when the bell rings. You stroll towards the Idus. Your friends try to comfort you by saying You ' ll do great. These are some of the feelings experienced by first-time skiers. One of the newly formed clubs at WHS this year was the ski Club, sponsored by C. J. Yocum and Jeff Goris. This club provided a break from the winter blues by giving students a chance to try a new winter activity. ' The club, approximately twenty- five inexperienced skiers, took weekly treks to Mt. Wawasee, ten miles north of Warsaw, to ski for the modest price of $10.00. The students boarded the bus on Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m. and returned bruised, and strained, but not broken at 9:30.

Evan Beauchamp eyes a soft landing for his jump. Novice skiers learn fast and are amusing to watch. The novice must first learn how to put on the skiies. This usually takes as long as it takes to find a kind-hearted, experienced skier to help. Once the skiies are on, the beginner journeys to the rope tow. This journey is monotonous because all the progress one makes is lost by sliding back down the hill. Eventually the skier reaches the rope tow, looking forward to that easy trip up the moun- tain, but he finds out it is also difficult to grab onto a fast moving rope while keeping the skiies straight and the balance right. The top of the incline is the easy part: it ' s downhill all the way. By this time the beginner is ready to lean back for that easy down hill slide, and it is easy until he has to stop. There are many techniques to stopping. First, there is the bowling method: this is when the skier aims himself at the towline and hopes he will be stopped by a line of people. Second, there is the Wall technique: this is when the skier uses the lodge to stop himself. Third is the tumble method: this is when the skier merely falls down, in- advertantly of course, and this certainly does stop him. However, after a few runs down the hill most skiers become professionals, Well, most tnat is except for the ones who can ' t handle it and end up in the lodge by the fire for most of the outing.

H JtVh ' H 4 I he scene is Market Square Arena. You find yourself among thousands of people. All you can see are seats and people going into infinity; and, of course, the stage. You ' re sitting just a few rows from the stage. You find yourself in the mix of people from the clean-cut to the freaky. Frisbees and beachballs are flying around. The pall of smoke is hanging way up in the rafters and it seems to be getting thicker by the minute. All of the equip- ment on stage, massive amplifiers; the huge drum set; the humongous sound system; and all of the guitars are just waiting for the big guitarists. The bass beats of the intro music are thumping through your body as you wait for the big band to come on stage. Everybody around you is getting rowdy and you are too. Then everything stops, the lights go out, and the place looks like an endless sea of candles because everybody has a lighter lit in their hand . . . This is teen culture. This is the rock- ' n ' -roU culture. It ' s been the same for about the last twenty years. So what ' s the appeal? We polled students at WHS to find out when and why they listen to music, what type of music they listen to, and who their favorite groups and in- dividual artists were. We found that WHS sti.idents like to listen to acid rock, pop rock, and heavy metal. WHS students like to listen to a wide variety of groups rather than just a few. Here are some of the popular groups that showed up on the poll: Rush, Bruce Springsteen, the Cars, Yes, John Fogerty, Don Henle y, the Firm, Foreigner, U2, REO Speedwaeon, Bob Seger, and Van Halen were picked as the best. The Heavy Metal fans favorite picks were the following: Dio, W.A.S.P., Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister, Ratt,. and Motley Crue. Students: said they listened to rockl music in order to relax, to( take their mind off things, and to get in a rowdy mood. I We also asked students tot compare modern music to( music they listened to fivef years ago. Many students; said that music today hasii more synthesizers, is morei complex, and has bettem sound quality. When studentdi were asked to single out a. favorite rock star and identify characteristics which makei the star appealing to them;i the favorite was The Boss. (Bruce Springsteen). Senior Rick Davis explains: His music is different ... Hij songs make sense, and he jusb 1.8 Modern Music oesn ' t jump up and down ad scream.

The ichnique he uses for play- ig, is my favorite and he ex- ecutes it very well. In my eyes he ' s the No. 1 bassist in the world. Rock and roll developed from several forms of music, it is a mix of rhythm and blues (R B) and country and western (C W). Blues men such as Bo Diddley, Fats Dominoe, and Ray Charles are credited with bringing about the first forms of rock. In 1953 Bill Haley, with his song Rock around the clock , set the pattern that much of future rock music was to follow. Perhaps the most popular rock star of all times was Elvis Presley. When Elvis first came out, people laughed at his flashy style of dress, but soon everybody was using this type of dress to appeal to the crowd. Another man, Phil Spector, also contributed to the start of rock and roll. He perfected techniques of over- dubbing and electronically manipulated sound, which produced a new kind of recording style, that brought the vigor and vitality of rock into sharp focus. Despite the success of all these per- formers, rock was still con- sidered a teenage craze. Something was needed to establish rock. A dance form that corresponded to the music had not yet evolved. So the twist developed. It was popularized by Chubby Checker, Joey Dee, and various other performers. After the twist became popular, big record com- panies began to compete for the big name rock per- formers. Following in the wake of the twist, came the British invasion. Groups such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Dave Clark Five, Herman ' s Hermits, and Gerry and the Pacemakers dominated American radio and pop charts. This is how rock music began. Rock and Roll has demonstrated America ' s ability to create music to fit the profile of the American personality. Today it pro- vides the distinctive sound of our time and generation, and its popularity has swept the world. Modern Music 19 sfamw cnouHD The first of two of this year ' s convos was directed toward drug abuse. The speaker for the drug abuse convo was David Toma, who has been a drug addict, cop, and counselor. Toma spoke to a crowd of 3,000 stuaents from the four county schools: Wabash, Northfield, South- wood, and Manchester. Toma explained to students that It ' s your life , it is your decision to do what you want to do with it. Toma also spoke about the many drugs and their different effects on the user: loss of feeling, bhnd- ness, deformation of babies, and possibly, if a drug is used long enough, death. Toma ' s vast knowledge of drug abuse comes from his past ex- perience as a police officer in New Jersey, where he down in the gutter with tf junkies and started listening to them instead of locking them up without caring for them. This year ' s second convo was about sexual abuse. The convo came in the form of a play called Out of the Trap . got the The play was performed by the Bridgework Theater from Goshen, Indiana. Out of the Trap was a play that taught students ho to recognize and avoid sexual abuse. In the first half of the play, a character named Tricia has problems with her uncle, who tries to sexually abuse her. Tricia tries to tell her parents about the problem and then confides with a friend, who finally listens to her. In the second half of the play, the actors showed students how to prevent sex- ual abuse and how to find help if they need it. Students from the four county schoo s anxiously wait for Toma to hit the stage. Caring Gestures. These are the poses of a man who cares.

A firing squad? No, it was the Fifth Annual Sports Spec- tacular. On March 15, the tradition con- tinued as classes competed for the glory of victory. They hopped with all their might in the sack race, gave it their best shot in the basketball throw, whizzed by on tiny tricycles, and cheered on their parents in the take-it-off-relay. Sunglasses and hats of every color, shape, and size imaginable decorated the stands. Freed from the usual restraints enforced upon them at school events, students were able to be a little wilder, a little swifter, and a lot noisier. Several members of the junior class, identifiable by their Hawaiian shirts, raced onto the floor and did the cockroach, a dance made famous by Na- tional Lampoon ' s Animal House . At the dance contest later that even- ing, freshmen Nick Eccles and Bey Chay strutted their stuff to Jungle Love by The Time. Sophomores Brian Eccles and Wendy Craft put their emo- tions in motion to Billy Squier ' s Rock Me Tonight . Juniors Al Plummer and Bill Wilma Dials did the hippy hippy shake to the psychedelic sounds of Wild Thing .

What makes someone spend all their free time on a project that they get little, if any, pay for doing? These questions and many more were asked by the cast of the spring musical during their performance of Babes in Arms. The play centers around a small troupe of actors work- ing at a bankrupt playhouse in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The theater specializes in off-Broadway productions which have, according to one of the actors, sent many ticket buyers back to Broadway. The actors want to put on their show. Babes in Arms, and use the music written by Valentine (Mark Ireland) White. Instead, they have to star in a horrible play written by a halfpint, big mouth writer, the famous Lee (Dave Mascowitz) Calhoun. The reason they have to is the playhouse ' s owner, Seymour (Norman Coots) Fleming hopes it will make his theater famous. In order to make enough money to have the other owner of the playhouse. Bun- ny (Belinda Hill), pay off Fleming, they decide to put on their show anyway. One of the apprentices, Susie (Lori Church) Edwards, con- tacts the famous Broadway producer Steve (Ian Hope) Edwards, hoping he will take an option on the musical. He will be the only person in the audience for the private pro- duction of Babes in Arms. While Calhoun, Jennifer (Melissa Jones) Owen, and Bunny are putting on the Deep North, the rest of the cast and crew sneak out to put on Babes in Arms. The play ends with Steve taking out an option on Babes and the cast getting to put Fleming and his cronies in their place. Two of the most popular musical numbers from the play were My Funny Valen- tine and Bates in Arms . Kathy Geible was libretto director; vocal director was Lynn Brady. Art Conner directed the orchestra, and Lisa Mattern choreographed the musical numbers. A With the tip oi his hat, Mark Mat- tern welcomes the audience to Ad II. A Big City Nights.

T t%v --- A 4-W 1 ■ ■ ■ m uring spring vacation, members of the Spanish class and former students of the language, as well as teacher-sponsor Shirley jagger, traveled to Monterey, Mexico, to in- crease their knowledge of the language. The name given to the pro- gram was Vista Real, which means the real view . Jagger wanted her students to get the overall picture of what life in Mexico is like. The students traveling were Beth Proctor, Tammy Weimer, Jim King, Norman Coots, and Richard Shively. On the first day (Friday, March 29), the group was in- vited to a family reunion by the Antonio Garcia family, who own a restaurant in Fort Wayne and have helped jag- ger with the travel program. The next few days were filled with visiting people and places around the Monterey area. The purpose of visiting these people, besides just meeting them, was to have the students practice the language as well as see the broad spectrum of living problems in Mexico. This spectrum went from Guajardo ' s own house, which would be considered fine in any country, to some areas of the city where houses are often made from such things f ■ ' ■■ as bare concrete, scrap wood,i| and metal. j The overriding impressionn ' from all of these people,; ' lower to upper classes, is thatit they are happy with theirii conditions, even the workers? who can never hope to get , more than four dollars a day. for their long day in the fac- tory. This feeling is prevalent ' throughout the country and isi evident to every visitor of the area. While there, the members of the group were i rarely treated rudely, even i while they were fumbling fon words. Rather, the natives are helpful to non-Spanish speakers to learn the language. While in Mexico, the group Zo Mexican Trip f ySIowr.rliie: Richard Shiv.ely ;s horseback to get a o;ser k.at the ri! ;ail£alls. t Sk ▼ Checkers anyone?

It seems lat it had been owned by a itired naval officer and his ife. They had moved to [exico to set up a private ihool for the best students in le world. This idea was emulated by his wife, who anted to take the best stu- 3nt from every country in le world, put them together a private school environ- ent, and educate them to be le leaders of their nations, his way, world peace would nally be established. Unfor- mately, the plan was never irried out. The home, however, remains. Along the major roads and highways of Mexico, it is possible to see small monuments and crosses in- scribed with names just off to the side of the road. These monuments can be anything from a single stone cross to an elaborate shrine of marble and flowers. Their purpose is to identify the exact spot at which some person died along the road, either from natural causes or a traffic ac- cident. The monuments are placed there by the remain- ing family members of the deceased and are taken care of (decorated with fresh flowers daily, kept clean, or kept intact) by mourners for six years, after which they must be taken down. By this time most of the family members no longer need or want a reminder of the death of the deceased. While on another such road trip, the guide described to the group the natural wealth of the nation. Although usually considered poor, Mexico is a leading producer of oil, copper, gold, silver, and natural gas. In fact, Mexico supplied 21.7 percent of the world ' s natural gas and is the fourth largest producer of oil in the world. Through this trip, the language students discovered what life in Mexico is really like. They also learned the similarities between the U.S. and Mexico: both have huge automobile plants (Mexico is a major producer of Volkswagon), both share similar tastes (people in Mex- ico, on the average, drink more soft drinks, especially Coke, than Americans do), and both countries have dif- ferent classes rather than one single grouping of people. These facts and others helped give Wabash students the real view of life in Mexico and showed what the purpose of such a travel pro- gram is. Mexican Trip Zy 7 1 ven as a child, 1 na you fantasized |H 1 about going to p 1 1 the prom. You t J envied your older siblings and neighbors as they stood on the lawn posing for hundreds of pic- tures. As you painted a pic- ture of the prom in your mind, you wondered if you would ever be a junior. You envisioned girls in beautiful gowns of silk and taffeta, yards of ruffles and lace cascading to the floor. You imagined debonair young men decked out in ebony and ivory. Everyone would be dancing, laughing, and hav- ing a splendid time. For many juniors and seniors, this dream finally came true on April 13. For the first time in WHS history, the prom was a dinner-dance at the Honeywell Center. Although couples could eat elsewhere, there was a special discount price for those who attended the Honeywell buffet. Couples could choose from three main dishes: beef, chicken, or ham, each served with mashed potatoes and dressing. Pies in a rainbow of f eaoie flavors tempted even those on a diet to indulge in dessert. The Honeywell gym, draped in pastel streamers and sprinkled with silvery stars, looked as if it really could have been the Stair- way to Heaven . A wishing well stood in one corner as a reminder of our Ethiopian brothers and sisters. Students, feeling quite for- tunate in this elegant at- mosphere, found it hard not to donate to the African Relief Fund. As the evening wore on. Junior Class President Mark Wallace crowned Julie Eichenauer queen; John Rauh was named king. Everyone crowded around as the king and queen shared their traditional spotlight dance.

Cheerleaders work very hard all year round. During the summer they practice every week, in- cluding one week spent at a cheerleading camp, so they will be ready for the upcom- ing season. Throughout the football and basketball seasons the cheerleaders continue to practice every week. They make posters to decorate the halls, and they organize pep sessions, in an attempt to raise school spirit and backing for the teams. It takes almost as much devo- tion and hard work to be a cheerleader as it does to play the sport they cheer for. This year ' s varsity squad included four seniors, Sher- rie Long; Melissa Shears; Kim Daugherty; and Lori M ontgomery; and two juniors; Andrea Tracy and Teresa Conley. The guys who helped out tnis year during the basketball season were five seniors, John Rauh; Tim Eneel; Dave Spring; Jerry Wiley; and Floyd Wood; and three juniors, Chris Mernitz; Mark Wallace; and Mike Thompson, and senior Bill Burchett was our fearless Apache this year. ▲ Pep Club: Front Row: |.

Even though tennis is an individual sport, team spirit shows up when a match is on the line, said coach Rick Mitchell. He also described the team ' s attitude as positive and competitive. The next few years should be successful for the boy ' s tennis team for several reasons. There was a large turn-out for the ' 84 season. and only two seniiors Kraig Binkerd and Rick Davis left the team. Also the junior high Erogram is strong and should e an asset to the varsity team in upcoming years. This year ' s girl ' s tennis team was young with just one senior, Karen Bergman, six sophomores, and seven freshmen. In coach Cal Eichenauer ' s opinion the high point of the season was Karen ' s victory at 1 singles over Northfield in three sets. Karen was voted the MVP and Pook Chay the Most Im- proved. This year ' s girls var- sity record was four wins and nine losses, a vast improve- ment over last year ' s 0-12 record. s w 1 1 1 ▲ Giri ' s Tennis: Front Row: G. Emrick, P. Ctiay, K. Bergman, A.

Volleyball 43 $ rom a vvin-loss standpoint the 1984-85 season was disappoin- ting, but Coach Frick remarked, This year ' s team didn ' t win as many games as last year ' s but it was a little more competitive. The team worked very hard. They lifted weights and played basketball in the g ' m during the summer, and dur- ing the season the players practiced very hard sometimes twice a day. One of the team ' s assets was that they maintained a positive at- titude during the season, which accounted for their competitive nature. Coach Prick ' s philosophy is that a team must have, Strong, ag- gressive, defensive play with a disciplined and or pattern- ed style of offensive play. Sophomore Joel Eichenauer was the most im- proved Apache, while Junior Mark Mattern and Senior Dick Tracy received The Mental Attitude award for their dedication this year.

I he season started off a lit- tle slow this year with only twelve young men showing up for the an- nual call out meeting. Martin Woody the third head coach in as many years sensed a less than serious attitude in his players. As soon as the players became acquainted with the new coach and his system, things started to look up. By the end of the season their attitude had changed immensely. Coach Woody remarked, The attitude of the players improved as the season went on. This was most evident in the astoun- ding 54-14 homecoming vic- tory over Manchester. The team broke many records, including best season record since 1981 and most points in a game and a season. Many individuals won awards this year: the most valuable player was Joel Ellis, who also received all-state honorable mention and was named honorary co-captain; John Rauh was also named as honorary co- captain and best offensive player of the year; and Floyd Wood received the Gus Dorais mental attitude award. Although Coach Woody could not identify any specific strong point in Apax play, he did cite strong senior leadership as a driving force in season play. He summed up by saying, These boys have put a lot of hard work into the program and they are a group of winners. Football is a game that involves hard work but it is also enjoyable.

The purpose of a student council is to plan school activities, develop school pride, and to com- municate with the ad- ministration. The student council had direct access to the administration this year through their sponsor, prin- cipal Steve Eikenberry. The most important thing that the student council carried out this year was coordinating the Homecoming activities: the parade, the half-time ceremonies, spirit week, etc. The student council also sponsored the Luau dance which proved to be a success.

The Making of a Yearbook When the school year starts there is a lot to be done by the yearbook staff: learning how to make a layout, setting type, or writing a story. The first thing that has to be done is think of a theme for the book. A theme has to be able to be carried out through the book, and pertain to the school year. This year ' s theme, Breakin, was criosen because it reflected the breakdancing trend, and it can be broKen down into many applications to the school year. The theme has a lot to do with how the layout looks. Ideas are thought up and put on a rough draft sheet by a staff member, or are taken from current magazines. Once a theme is decided on, a graphic artist is asked to come up with a cover design. All the covers that are used by the Sycamore are original design. Bev Rice designed this year ' s cover. The selection, and place- ment of pictures is done by the section editors. They decide what pictures will cover what events after ap- proval by the adviser. The stall members work during seventh period on the book, and are responsible for helping in ad sales during the second nine weeks, and in the selling of the book during the month of October.

When asked how she Hked being adviser of the Orange and Black she rephed, Pubhcations are fun, I love them. Another change this year was the size of the staff because it was considerably smaller than in previous years. The Orange and BJacK staff consisted of three writers, one photographer, one artist and a few Journalism I students. The Orange And Black is a self-supported newspaper, unlike some newspapers that charge students fees for their paper. It is also the only stu- dent newspaper in the county that is published by the Plain Dealer. The publication process is very simple. First, all copy (stories) are typed into the Plain Dealer ' s computer and printed. The Plain Dealer also processes the pictures. Next, everything is taken back to the schooland trimm- ed to size then it is layed out on grid sheets. Then, all of the contact sheets are taken back to the Plain Dealer and printed on the paper. The function of a school newspaper is to teach the journalism process to jour- nalism students and give them some experience in journalism; also, it is used to reflect the community it is a part of and to give the students a positive influence on the community and school. ► Trimming it to size.

The sophomores have the toughest requirement for get- ting in. They must be the top two members of their class. The juniors must have a 9.49 grade average to become eligible for membership. The seniors must have a 8.66 grade average. However, grade average is not the only factor considered for membership. These students must have a good character standing. Achieving this honor takes hard work. Becoming a member of NHS is a goal I set and achieved. said Lisa Brown, junior. The sponsor of NHS, Mr. Stewart, has set up the opportunity for members to tutor other students at WHS. It is done upon request of students and teachers. In return for their service, they are offered scholarships on the local and national level. The local scholarship is the Barrett and the National is the National Honor Society Scholarship. ▲ NHS: Front Row: A Robinson, K. Daughert ' , M. Shears, S. Long, K. Binkerd, 1. Eichenauer, M.

It was a contest between Wabash and other schools in our district. A letter explain- ing this contest was sent to Mr. Eichenberry, Student Council Sponsor. He talked to Miss Geible and they decided to have Student Council and French Club co-sponsor this fund drive for the kids in Ethopia. They us- ed the slogan Kids who care for kids . These clubs set up many projects to raise money. Their first project was a penny pitch at the last home basketball game. Another project was a room competition, and the com- petition was fierce. Jars were placed in the rooms and some of the teachers passed the jars around the room. The money was collected and counted at the end of each day. The final project of the fund drive was a wishing well at the Prom. The total amount collected was $2363.50. Wabash won the contest by about $1,000. ▲ Spanish CJub: Front Row: Mrs. lagear. N.

Ireland, (see p. 77) Indians used it to make rain and to bring in good harvests. Hippies used it to help them find their in- nerselves. Punkers used it to express their rebellion against society. What is it that links these people? Music, of course. Music is a part of all our lives; however, most of us can only listen to it outside of school. For some students, though, music is a part of academic life. The Concert Choir, which has fifty members, meets first period to sing four part har- mony. Besides their usual Fall, Christmas, and Spring Concerts, the Concert Choir performed on December 5 for the Presbyterian Women ' s Association and on December 8 at the Honeywell Center for the First Annual Winterfest. What does the Concert Choir try to achieve? Junior Debbie Kime said, We ' ve been working on tone quality and rounded vowels for a more mature sound. I think it ' s made all the difference at our performances. The Treble Choir, which ► Gathering in front of the piano, The Count ' Honors Choir par- ticipants from Wabash sing in front of the class. has twenty-three members, is an all-girl choir. They per- formed at the Fall, Christmas, and Spring Concerts. The Apache Singers, our show choir, is maae up of seven girls and seven boys. The group performed song and dance routines at all the high school concerts. They also performed on December 8 for Wabash Alloys and at the Honeywell Center for the Winterfest. If you think there is no music in school, think again. All you have to do is pas by the choir room, and you ' ll hear beautiful melodies echoing down the corridor. ▲ Go den Age of Broadivay.

Concert Band 81 ► Radical Changes The Marching Band Pro- gram underwent some radical changes this year. Before, band members could choose whether or not they wanted to participate in the marching program. Now, students no longer have that option: participa- tion will be mandatory for all members beginning with the ' 85 ' 86 season. Mr. Con- nor explained that in the last two-three years he hasn ' t been getting enough response through a volun- tary program. Although he met with some early resistance, band par- only will the size of the marching band be increas- ed, but their performance scores might also increase. He added that a large band has a competitive edge because it puts out more sound. One of the high points of the year came when some band members competed for the chance to direct a number in the spring con- cert. Potential directors chose a musical piece and worked with the band. Afterwards, the members chose a student director by majority vote. After his ticipants are beginning to realize that most high school marching band pro- grams in the area are man- datory. Connor seemed to think this change would be for the better oecause not ► Getting into the Holiday spirit.

Julie Eichenauer, Valedictorian, and Kraig Binkerd, Salutatorian, receive many honors at gradua- tion time. 11 of US set goals. These goals serve as direc- tives and in- dicators of how we feel about ourselves. Sometimes in the classroom, survival is the name of the game. At other times, we go for the challenge. Teachers and administrators know this and try to help us hang on or, as the case may be, break to new horizons by providing a curriculum which both challenges and prepares. This year saw some break throughs in class offerings. Advanced Developmental Reading I and II and Senior Seminar English were added by the English Department to give high achievers a boost in the reading and writing skills needed for college. First semester this year saw some creative breaks in class routine. State grants and joint funding by the school system and the Wabash Arts Council brought us a resident artist, Bonnie Maurer. She coaxed out the poet in us, even in such unlikely places as chemistry class. Toward spr- ing the whole student body snapped up every available copy of Every Minute of Be- ;ne Myself, the poetic jour- nal displaying our corporate poetic genius. Everybody in- cluded in the anthology secretly enjoyed being poet laureate for a day. Finally, this year saw the onslaught of a whole fleet of computers. Suddenly, Ap- ples, TRS 80 ' s, Tandy lOOO ' s, and IBM PC ' s were in every department and students all across the curriculum were required to use them and understand them. All of these changes in new directions inspired students to push past old standards and set new goals. It was clearly a case of make or break! ▲ Once upon a time in ComeJot.

However, in Mrs. Caldwell ' s recordkeep- ing class there is a more personal approach in directing the student to a more sound financial future. It ' s a useful, hands-on kind of course which isn ' t as book oriented. says Mrs. Caldwell. Many other business courses are more job oriented, while recor- dkeeping, a semester course, is designed, basically, for non- college bound students who need or will need personal aid. It teaches the student to spend money wisely and prepares them for future general office jobs. The preparation for the students ' sound future includes: writing checks, balancing checkbooks, reconciling with the bank, inven- tory count, recording payments and receipts, wise purchasing of automobiles, processing cash, filling refund and sales slips, computing sales and payroll taxes, and budgeting money.

Students receive ex- perience that prepares them not only for voca- tional school, but for working in industry later in life. After taking the semester course of hot metals, most of the students know whether they want to go on to vocational school and have a good idea of the industrial career they plan to go into. Mr. Goris refers to hot metals as a prevoca- tional course. He indicated that during the course students get a feel for tools and processes us- ed in industry and are taught to think mechanically. They have to think about the drawings, figures, and calculations they work with each day. Though the students are prepared for an in- dustrial career which works with tools and machines, hot metals is only a one period class a aay and can ' t get a student a job in a skilled trade. However, Mr. Goris divides the class into the following seven areas: gas welding, elec- trical arc welding, aluminum sand casting, forging, heat treating, and soldering.

The course of hot metals was created nine years ago by Mr. Goris who said, I am very pleased with the way it developed. The course is taken mainly by non- college bound students, but there are some students who are going on to become engineers who may take the course. Mr. Goris ended by saying that he was glad to see the students so interested in hot metals and hoped the interest would continue. Algebra 11 89 ► I EI . A pencil, a piece of paper, average ability, and an extreme amount of self-discipline is all a student needs to make the grade in Mrs. Oswalt ' s drawing and painting class. The class was started by Mrs. Oswalt four years ago when she moved from the junior high school building to the senior high school building. Drawing and painting has been her favorite class of the day because of the intensity of her expectation for the students. The students must push themselves each day by sitting in front of a blank piece of paper and by using different mediums such as the following; pencil, pen, ink, oil, chalk, coal, and shading, to create shapes or pictures from their own imagination. Though the larger percentage of students nave average ability and enjoy drawing, Mrs. Oswalt recom- mends all students to take the class because everyone needs to ex- pand their creative outlook.

The teacher isn ' t the only one who sees these im- provements: the students realize their own advancements too. Sophomore Anne Bor- mann said, I have im- proved in such a way that I can, now, really appreciate art. It has given me the ability to sit down and work on the same drawing for many hours without becoming bored. Commenting on the class Mrs. Oswalt said, It ' s very rewarding, for me to see a student us- ing the creative side of their brain instead of their analytic side. Because the students are forced everyday to use this analytic side, this is a break in the day for them to balance their minds. She sug- gested that the students can go on to careers in commercial arts, fashion designing, and medical illustration, or go into an entirely dif- ferent profession. Mrs. Oswalt concluded that by taking this class the students will have achieved much self-discipline. I Perplexed and puzzled.

Mrs. Gorman, the advanced developmental reading teacher, says No! Students in developmental reading, a course pioneered by Mrs. Gorman and Jean Scales, work on four areas of importance to all academic work. They include the following: study skills, reading comprehen- sion, reading speed, and vocabulary. The students work hardest on study skills which are elaborated into four areas: time manage- ment, notetaking, test taking, and SQ3R, a method for more effi- cient reading of any text. In fact, this class has initiated a school- wide awareness of the crucial need to develop Oh, so gingerly.

Mrs. Gorman, who attended two work- shops to prepare for this course, said she wished that a class like this had been offered when she was a student because it helps both college- bound and non-college- bound students, since everyone will be reading something for the rest of their lives. Students seem to concur on the benefits of the course. Debbie Kime, Junior, said, The vocabulary section was the most beneficial because not only did you learn the meaning of words, but you had to use the words in sentences.

Advanced Developmental Reading 95 i Ei2. e Senior seminar was a flashy new literature course- which appeared on the scene this year. A core of twenty-one seniors who had previously demonstrated ac- celerated literary skills were assigned to Miss Troop during sixth period. True to form, she put them through the rigors of a college level Tit. class. Indeed, advanced preparation for college was what this class was all about. The seniors in this seminar walked around with the burdens of the elite under their arms: one Oxford American dictionary, one Roget ' s Thesaurus, and a paperback novel which changed every four weeks or so. From the very begin- ning, this was a thinking and writing course. These seniors read novels like 1984 and the Catcher in the Rye, looked for deeper understandings, for- mulated a position on some aspect of the novel, and wrote a r ► Building muscles.

These position papers commonly cover anything from the racist implications of a novel like To Kill a Mock- ingbird to the maturing of a hero in The Hobbit. Miss Troop indicated that the course, aimed at enrichment, was designed with the special needs of ac- celerated students in mind. Next year students may be given a chance to test out of a college-level Freshman Composition course. Miss Troop ' s response to the course is reflected in this comment: It ' s fun to teach this course because it ' s the only real literature class where we have enough time to do in-depth literary analysis and concentrate more on the writing experience.

However, food prepara- tion isn ' t the only skill that ' s developed: the course offers health and safety tips, food preser- vation, and tips for use of kitchen appliances. As for student motivation for taking the course, most students who are enrolled in the class have an immediate practical interest in cooking (it ' s handy to know your way around the kitchen), but others are thinking about careers in food service occupations like the following: restaurant ► A heavenly aroma fills the air as foods and nutrition student Kelly McGinnis takes a beans-and-hot dog dish out of the oven.

Of course, not all the achievements of students and teachers can be mentioned. Everyday people make hun- dreds of little contributions that go unnoticed; however. the school simply could not run without them. In any case, these unnamed people are not just another brick in the wall ; rather, the small actions they perform are what chip away at the wall and break down the brriers. A Lazy day.

It consisted of two towers, three stories of normal building, twelve classrooms (four on each of the three floors), and a stair- way at each end which ran from the first to third floors. It was used for high school classes first in 1869. The east side of the third floor consisted of one room which was used occasionally for chapel exercises and entertainment on Friday afternoons. The west room had two rooms. One of these was used as a labo ratory while the other was a museum. There later, the first two graduates of Wabash High School (also the only two graduating that year as they were the entire senior class) received their diplomas in the northwest room. 1888 On December 30, 1887, the Union School was declared condemned because it could be neither heated nor ven- tilated efficiently. Therefore, in 1888, it was demolished after serving Wabash for twenty-nine years. In the same year, the Miami School was con- structed on a lot just north of where the Union School once was. Completed before the winter term of 1888-1889, the high school classes con- tinued in this building. 1894 At a cost of $40,000, $29,000 more than the cost of the Union School building, the first building dedicated to just Wabash High School students was erected. It was constructed on a piece of pro- perty at the south west corner of Cass and West Hill Streets which the city had purchased from the First Baptist Church. 1926 In 1925, a building pro- gram was started which resulted in the new Wabash High School located on North Miami Street. The old high school building became a two-year junior high school. The construction of the new building gave the community the chance to completely reorganize the school system in order to meet the needs of the current education. The new Wabash High School building plus 39 acres was officially opened to students in September of 1929. The campus was scheduled to include an auditorium but because of the Great Depression of 1929 and the beginning of World War II, this was never added. The school building did in- HOT PICTURED Bland, Troy Bush, Mont DeLong, Cynthia Miley, Beth Overman, Gary Shepler, Travis Shy, Wayne Jr. Simpson, C. D.

This was the first igh school gym ever to exist in the city. 1934 When the land for the cur- rent high school was pur- chased oy the school board, land was also bought for an athletic field. In 1934, a chainlink fence was used to enclose the playing field, which ran north to south. After receiving permission from the school board, the High School Athletic Association built the present alumni field. The Association published and sold an Alum- ni Directory as a fund-raising project for the Alumni field.

The concrete benches on the southern end of the field were constructed through a WPA government project. The athletic department also built the ticket office, using bricks taken up from Man- chester Avenue and Wabash Street after the city street cars were abandoned. The bricks were donated to the school by the city. 1964 Because the enrollment equaled almost eight hun- dred, a new junior high building was built near the high school and each school because a three-year school. The new complex housed a cafeteria and an auditorium for use by both buildings. The junior high gym was us- ed tor high school varsity games because of its larger seating capacity. The old junior high school building was remodeled and became the offices of the Wabash City Schools ad- ministration. Some of its rooms were used as Voca- tional School offices and art craft rooms. 1966 In June of 1966, because of the need for improvement, a new south wing to the h igh school was begun. At a cost of $360,000, the wing included a new library, foreign language center classroom, homemalk- ing department, reading lab, arts and crafts center, and teacher workrooms and restrooms. Also added were a radio station, broadcasting area, and photographic darkroom. 1970 Some classrooms in the north wing of the first floor were remodeled into a recep- tion area, principal and vice-principal offices, guidance ofiices, first-aid room, vault, and bookstore — all carpeted and air-conditioned. From 1926 to 1957 a section of the main en- trance area contained the of- fices of the superintendent and rooms for the school board. These were moved away in 1957 and the area became the principal ' s office area until 1970. ▲ Breakin ' Ground — The baseball scoreboard represents the latest additio to the school.

How can you possibly like rhe Jerks? They are so ancient! Hey! Their music is great classic stuff. That ' s more than you can say for the Bogus Dudes! Sound familiar? Friends don ' t always agree on musical matters: neither do students in different grades. WHS students in each grade were polled on rock videos, and there were some surpris- ing results. Approximately two-fifths of students said they had MTV. If they didn ' t have MTV, they had seen rock videos on other channels or at friends ' houses. Most students agreed that music was the deciding factor in whether they liked ' a rock video or not. Music was rated the number one element in a video by each class. But that ' s where the similarities stopped. Freshmen rated visual ef- fects as the second best ele- ment of rock videos. Only one freshman said dance was the best part. Sophomores also rated visual effects se- cond. Dance was a very close third, followed by story line. Seniors liked both music and visual effects equally well, while dance was a very close second. Few students in any class chose story line as the greatest factor of a rock video. Approximately one-fourth of the freshmen and one- fourth of the sophomores said they had neglected homework in order to watch MTV.

Others said they see more sex and violence on regular television or HBO. One senior said, Most of the songs do not deal with sex and violence but with love and hate. The videos just reflect those ideas. The classes did agree on some of their favorite videos. I Can ' t Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar; Jump by Van Halen; Legs , Sharp Dress- ed Man , and Gimme All Your Lovin ' by ZZ Top; and Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen were all mentioned again and again. There were some dif- ferences, however. Several seniors liked On the Dark Side by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, Billy Idol videos such as Flesh for Fantasy , and Loverboy ' s Queen of the Broken Hearts. Many freshmen and sophomores preferred We ' re Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister, Chicago ' s Stay the Night , and Hard Habit to Break . Several juniors said they would like to see more Closet Classics on MTV such as Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix and Creedence Clearwater Revival ' s Proud Mary. Several also mentioned Rush videos such as Distant Early Warning and Rainbow ' s No One Like You. As these results show, not everyone likes the same rock videos, just as not everyone likes exactly the same music. Not everyone likes rock videos at all. Rock videos are simply a new way of listening (or rather, looking) at music. SENIORS Allen, Kevin Bailey.

Several people at Wabash High School became in- terested in breakdancing and mastered the techniques. A few WHS breakers Chris Cosby, Nate Lawn er, and Larry Huey have been breakdancing for about a year. On the average they know about ten breakdanc- ing moves apiece, which they learned by watching televi- sion and movie breakdancing or through the help of their friends. They began breakdancing because all the other dances began to get boring. Some of their favorite moves are the spins; the freezes; and the wind- mill, the hardest of the breakdancing moves in which the dancer rolls on his upper back, and executes a spinning, scissoring move with his legs extended in the air. Chris Cosby thinks breakdancing will be around for awhile. He commented, the only reason it might fade is because of the injuries in- volved or because people believe it is too hard to learn.

Many changes were made to the grounds surroun- ding the high school: the link between the south gym- nasium doors of the high school and the front doors of the junior high school was paved, and the sidewalk in the front of the high school was reconcreted. Another change, beside the traditional Eainting of the ticket booth y the seniors, was the re- painting done to the inside of the auditorium and the repapering done to the out- side junior high auditorium hall. Improvements were also made such as a new trophy case, the new lights around the circle drive, and the land- scape between the two buildings. We want to maintain the level we have achieved, said Mr. Eikenberry, and when you consider that $800,000 was spent on the high school alone, there ' s no need to wonder why. It wasn ' t completely the idea of the new administration; the plans for these improvements had been in the works for some time. However, until Dr. Myers became superintendent they were never really pushed through. Mr. Eikenberry said, I was lucky, I inherited the changes that were made. All of the responses made by students, faculty, and the community were positive. Most think that the im- provements brighten and add color to the school. Mr. Eikenberry summed it up when he said, All of these changes, helped improve school pride! ▲ Fred Fry and Keith Denniston work together to repaint the staircase.

But our sense of honest banking and com- munity service will never change. Take a look at your own fami- ly. New faces have appeared; older faces look a little different, but family loyalty and dedication keep you together. It ' s been that way with our family for half a century. And that will never change.

And here you are sitting in a chair, hstening to a thrilhng lecture on the life cycle of a bumble bee. You could think of plenty of things you ' d rather be doing: sunbathing, cruising, taking a walk out in nature. It seems like school is stifling your creativity. You ' re so busy thinking, you don ' t have time to think about important things: your dreams, your goals, your feelings. You don ' t want to read about life; you want to get out there and live it. From the moment you started to walk, you got a taste of freedom. You learned that you could run away from Mommy and Daddy for a few moments; however, they soon caught up with you and held your hand tightly. Each vear you got a little more freedom. When you entered kindergarten, you had to be away from home for half of the day. When you started junior nigh, there were sud- denly activities for you to at- tend: dances, basketball games, parties. At age sixteen you were able to drive, which gave you a sense of freedom you ' d never felt before. The more freedom you got, the more you wanted. You couldn ' t wait to graduate so you could finally be free. But did you ever think of the reason you have to attend school? Ever since you can remember, you ' ve heard your parents say, Get a good education. After all these years, that statement has become nothing more than words. Even though it ' s sometimes hard, try not to think of school as something that ' s tying you down. School will give you the wings of knowledge; when it ' s finally time to break out into the real world, you will be able to soar toward your wildest dreams. ▲ 2:35 at lost!
