I can ' t believe that school is starting AL- READY! These were the ever familiar phrases heard all over the halls of Bish- op Luers High School on August 25, 1983, the first day of school. After a scorching hot summer filled with par- ties, cookouts, and just doing anything to beat the heat, it was hard to get back to the business of school. Homework, lectures, book reports, and term papers seem so boring and dull after the easy, laid back attitude of summer. To the graduating class, the seniors, the beginning of the 1983-84 school year was the beginning of the end. Only nine more months of high school be- fore they are free. It is the time to make decisions about colleges and jobs, the time to send in those college applica- tions, the time to fill out all the scholar- Natalie Slater, Chris Conroy, and Dan Morken- best buddies! ship forms, and the time to start think- ing about life after high school, but most of all the time to have fun ruling the school and being with their friends as a class for one last time. As the class of ' 85 enters their third year of high school they are now upper classmen. No longer little guys of the school, they have passed into the upper ranks. It is now the time to turn their minds to the more serious thoughts of PSAT ' sand the dreaded SAT ' s, where to go to college, and getting good grades for college transcripts. But of course, junior year is not all serious and sub- dued, the juniors take time out to party, have fun, and be RADICAL! The class of ' 86 is finally away from the ninth grade and all the teasing and in- sults that go along with being freshmen. They are now very involved with driv- er ' s education so that they can take a break from walking to Pizza Hut after games and parties. No longer at the bot- tom of the heap, the sophomore class is moving up! And usually always last, the Frosh, they have now made the big step into high school. The class of ' 87 is filled with new faces, which are often full of fear and anxiety. They soon realize that ev- eryone is a part of the family at Luers and the elevator passes and the teasing are only part of the fun. Now the students of Bishop Luers have been introduced. They are the ones who did it right ! Whether it was in academics, sports, spirit, friendship, or fundraisers the frosh, sophomores, juniors, and seniors of Luers always did it quite right and that ' s what Luers Spirit is ail about! Luers ' students continuously braved the freezing cold temperatures to show their support for the football team. 4— People -fr -VJI- : jLiki? People— 5 Back Again! Yes, the class of 1984 is back again. But this time we are seniors! We ' ve long since bypassed our freshman year filled with the anxiety and uncertainties of a new school and making new friends and the triumphs of our winning hall, Knights, one in a million and great powderpuff victory. Gone forever are the sophomore days of driver ' s educa- tion, religion with Father Bill, and our fantastic tel-a-thon skit. Junior year with Sister Jeanne and Chemistry, our first annual Budreau Day, the dreaded Eng- lish term paper, and the ever eventful junior retreat are all history now. But we have returned to Luers for one last time to preside in senior hall and to make our senior year special and unique as only we can! The place to be during assemblies and Masses— the senior section of the bleachers in the gym. Senior leadership was evident In many sports especially Football. Senior captains, Tim Mullins, Mike Cigli, and Tom Quackenbush, call the coin toss before the start of the game.

It is measured in many differ- ent ways by many types of people, but to the seniors ' class of Bishop Luers High School it is passing both of the re- quired religion courses, sexual maturity and religion synthesis. Sounds pretty easy, right? But do not be fooled. Fr. Carl, the senior religion teacher makes sure that neither of the senior religion classes is a joke. In sexual maturity the seniors are urged to discover how to appreciate them- selves and others as sexual human be- ings. This study includes reading at least two novels, writing numerous essays, doing several directed studies, and the infamous Latin breakdown of words. Last but not least, the seniors do a pro- ject such as taking care of an egg for two weeks as if it were a child or planning a wedding and honeymoon taking into account financial, psychological, and emotional responses. At the end of this course seniors have learned what it means to be a sexually mature person. In Religion Synthesis seniors put to- gether what they have learned for the past twelve years in Catholic Schools. This includes the knowledge acquired and the experience gained through the years. This class also requires the read- ing of novels, the writing of essays, and the directed studies. Each student is also required to have an interview with Fr. Carl. Fr. Carl spends his spare time making up new and more difficult assignments for seniors.

Assignments, D.S. ' s quizzes, tests, term papers, and quarter projects kept the seniors very busy before they graduat- ed. Or in other words, they had alot of homework! This homework lead sen- iors to use up alot of supplies, to study for many hours, and to accomplish a va- riety of tasks. Before any of those tasks could be com- plete, supplies had to be obtained. Textbooks, workbooks, reference books, and dictionaries were major fac- tors in completing senior year home- work. Seniors also used typewriters, typing paper, and alot of correct-o- type. During the 83-84 school year, most seniors easily could have depleted a supply of 6 or 7 notebooks, 2000 pieces of loose-leaf paper, 2 or 3 ink pens, 5 or 6 pencils, and three times as many erasers! Homework for seniors not only re- Theresa Hickey concentrates on her work in typing class. Kris Rice is hard at work in 104 while Tom Carteaux takes time out lor a nap. quired alot of supplies but also alot of hours. Many studying hours were spent in the computer room, in libraries, and in other rooms for studying. Studying past midnight or studying in the early hours of the morning before school were common practices for many sen- iors. After working many hours and using up many supplies, the seniors completed a variety of homework challenges. Gov- ernment, economics, and sociology D.S. ' s with A, B, and C levels; computer tech and programming D.S. ' s; and Fr. Carl ' s D.S. ' s, readings, and essays were common challenges for many seniors. In senior hall it was common knowledge when there was going to be a physics, trig, prob, calculus, or English test. Now, after graduating, the common chal- lenges of senior year homework have simply become common memories!

After the 83-84 school year ended, it was easy to recognize that the class of ' 84 was a class with alot of spirit. Wheth- er as individuals or as a group. The sen- iors demonstrated their spirit in many wa s. Well-over half of the 149 seniors were able and willing to give up their time and energy for Key Club, Accolade, FBLA, Pastoral Care, Knight News, and Student Congress. Sports at Luers were supported by many seniors who partici- pated by playing and by cheering. Many ictories were accomplished with the help of spirited senior cheering. The Spirit Bear wore ' 84 numerals after the majority of pep assemblies (it wore ' 83 once). The Class of ' 84 also showed its winning spirit at the Baccaleaureate Mass by singing and praying. The members of the class of ' 84 radiated alot of spirit wa they gave of themselves to Luers in their many unique and spe- cial ways!

Don ' t be so shocked Tim Alderdice and Jeff Belot, Throughout the 83-84 school year, some crazy and goofy characteristics of the senior class were very evident. The Class of ' 84 could easily be described as a class with a sense of humor. Laughter often filled the air when seniors were around, and the different smiles of 149 seniors uniquely decorated Luers. Many situations left seniors laughing and smiling during their fourth year at Luers. The purple skirts and bandaids of the 2nd Annual Budreau Day; the sound effects of the McArdle movies; the screams of Mary Libbing ' s terror when she found a calf ' s heart in her locker; and the amusing imitations by Dean Robinson, Tim Alderdice, and Carl Pontecorvo kept many people laughing. Whether the seniors were together during school, after school, on the weekends, or during holiday vacations, crazy, silly, funny, and goofy things were bound to happen! The Class of ' 84 knew how to laugh and to have fun while they were at Luers!!! . . . CRAZY!!! Seniors— 15 ShariCillis modeling the serious look as she intro- duces a speaker onVareer Dav.

Fred, Ms. Lombardo, faculty, par- ents, friends, and fellow members of the Class of 1984, when I sat down to write this speech, my feelings were mixed and my thoughts were very jum- bled. I felt in my heart feelings of regret, fear, pride, confidence, and love. The thoughts in my mind were disorganized because I was searching for just the right words to convey my mixed feelings to my fellow graduates. There is no way I can organize my feelings about the last four years in a short speech, so I am just going to explain them as best as I can. As a graduating senior, I cannot help looking back with a few regrets. I regret the snow days we did not get during our Junior year, and coming in 2nd instead of 1st with our Sophomore skit. But more importantly, I regret missing chances to become closer friends with many of my classmates and forgetting, at times, to enjoy a little more and worry a little less. Now that we actually have our diplo- mas, there are many fears staring me right in the face. I fear the possibility of tripping down these few stairs to return to my seat. After leaving this gym, how- ever, I will still have some fears about what the future holds for the Class of ' 84 in college life and in the working world; and most of all I fear losing touch with my special friends, the Class of ' 84. Being a member of this class has made me feel a great deal of pride. Never be- fore did a class have the foot of Kim Ceise which kicked the field goal to lead our freshman class to victory in powder puff football. I also have pride in the fact that we pulled together to support and to celebrate our record setting, -senior lead football team. FHow- evcr, I felt the most pride in my class Friday morning as all our voices filled the Cathedral with song. Along with these feelings of pride come feelings of confidence in my class. I am confident that we will not miss the fra- grant aromas from the chemistry room. I have confidence that we are well pre- pared to meet the future. I am assured of this because of the knowledge and experience we have gained through the dedication and encouragement of our faculty and principal, Fr. Fred. As we live out our futures and we experience fail- ure, I am confident that we will not be defeated by failures and that we will learn from them. Yesterday, after this speech had been written, corrected, and typed, my sister gave me a graduation card in which there was a poem. This poem beautiful- ly expresses a message which my thoughts were struggling to convey to my class. The poem is Always Have a Dream, by Amanda Bradley, and it reads . . . Forget about the days when it ' s been cloudy. But don ' t forget your hours in the sun . . . Forget about the times you ' ve been defeated. But don ' t forget the victories you ' ve won. Forget about mistakes that you can ' t change now. But don ' t forget the lessons you ' ve learned . . . Forget about misfortunes you ' ve encountered. But don ' t forget the times your luck has turned. Forget about the days when you ' ve been lonely. But don ' t forget the friendly smiles you ' ve seen . . . Forget about the plans that didn ' t seem to work out right. But don ' t forget to always have a dream. I have two last thoughts I wish to express to my class. First, 1 sincerely believe that the four years we have shared here at Luers, the good times and the bad, have created a common bond between us which will always keep us joined in spirit and in friendship. And second, I truly hope that the future is full of only laughter and good times for the Class of ' 84. However, the future may not always be perfect, so I would just like my friends to remember three little words that the people I love the most in this world, my family, have told me, hang in there. I feel very blessed to have four years of memories from Luers, and may God bless my friends, the Class of ' 84, and all those special people sharing this day with us Tracy Hicks Valedictorian Class of 1984 S ' - ' C - -■ ' • ? ■ r- ?.?

After the games, dances, homework, and lectures are finished what happens. The answer is quite simple. Plenty! Even though the common bond of Bishop Luers is gone, there are still friends, good times, and memories. In August the class of ' 84 will once again be busy for nearly all of its members are off to various colleges, trade schools, and technical schools to further their education with anywhere from one to eight years of school. Fields of study range from business to engineering to education. The class of ' 84 will take with them tremendous amounts of knowl- edge, the love of parents and friends, and a great deal of skill and determina- tion from their years at Luers. So, yes, there is life after Luers, and there is alot of it!!! Cheering on the state runner-up football team was a favorite senior pastime.

We are a unique group, quite different from cmy other class that ' s ever attended Luers. Why is the class of ' 85 so unique? One of the reasons might be that every one of us is different, no two of us are alike. We all have different interests and are involved in many different activities. We are athletes, cheerleaders. Key Clubbers, Student Congress and .Na- tional Honor Society members. Min- strels, partiers, students, and above ail, RADICAL JUNIORS. Some people might look down on the class of ' 85 for being called a radical class, but most juniors seem proud to be called RADICAL. Hopefully, we can keep up our RADICAL image through- out the rest of our junior year, and may- be into our senior year. Who knows? We may be the RADICAL SENIORS!

The class of ' 85 is now one year closer to completing a giant step that holds ahead of it our future. As we approach our senior year, there are decisions to be made, challenges to fulfill, and most of all, an eight-month period in which we will find that we and our classmates have grown up — developing the indi- viduality that Fr. Bill once said wc would develop on our first day of Morality and Spirituality 10. Even after getting a big hug from Fr. Bill as a sign of acceptance and love, we still knew little about the 136 sophomores in our class. From that moment on, we 136 sophomores would form our moral- ity and spirituality that would carry us through to our senior year. And a great senior year it is to be!! The class of 1985 will make it!!! We are not the same peo- ple who entered Bishop Luers three years ago, but seventeen-and eighteen- year old men and women. it is scary to think there is only one more year of football games, dances, and par- ties that half of the school seems to be at. Now is the time to make decisions. Col- lege? A job? Work? A husband? A wife? Who . . . me? Questions we ' ll soon have to face. But it ' s also a neat feeling at the same time. Independence — no curfew, no one to yell at us for not having our room cleaned up or for not having the car home on time, and no one to answer to. But we do have a little time left. A year, in fact, to be the crazy class of ' 85 we have always been and probably always will be remembered as.

No, this was not a sudden revival of interest in intel- lectual enrichment, but rather, a spirit- ed interest in witnessing a fellow junior, John Jenkins, make his television debut by challenging sportscaster Greg Johans to a field-goal kicking contest. John glo- riously triumphed, and the juniors de- clared the day J.J. day at BLHS in hon- or of John ' s achievements. Exclusively Junior The student body eagerly waited for the announcement of the grand-prize win- ner in the Luers Walkathon, the student with the most collected pledges. For the second year in a row, class of ' 85 member Mike Williams was awarded this prize. Exclusively Junior Skit time rolled around again, and the juniors at Luers were determined to fol- low up on the fine skit that had earned them a second place. However, the class of ' 85 found themselves prepar- ing their skit in a last-minute frenzy, and memories of their infamous frosh skit haunted them. Though the skit finally produced was an improvement over their frosh skit, the juniors could not match the excellence of their sopho- more skit and received a fourth place. Despite the problems we had, we are proud of our skit and can say for certain that we had a lot of fun putting it on, remarked skitworker Lisa Hill. Exclu- sively Junior From their top-seeded tennis players, John Zern and Jane Filus, to the mouth- watering aromas that traveled down their hall from the Home Ec. room, the class of ' 85 could brag about a num- ber of experiences and students that belonged exclusively to the junior class. The exclusively junior religion teacher. Sister Mary Ann, referred to the class of ' 85 as Good News. Indeed, they were. This class, as athletes, musicians, students, leaders, helpers, and of course, partiers, spread love and happi- ness in all they did. The entire class of ' 85 beat to the same big, happy heart that was exclusively theirs.

It was on this very field that the skillful Luers team would play a grueling and ex- hausting game against Indianapolis Cha- tard. In a unique effort to show spirit, many of the Luers fans were clad in red garbage bags. Bishop Luers was fired up! Sopho- more Ann Ueber said, As I looked at the barren Chatard stands, and then glanced next to me at the sea of red, I realized how great Luers Spirit really is. Luers was excited . . . nervous . . . hopeful. They were excited because this was their first trip to a championship game. Luers was nervous because they were facing a number one ranked team. Ah, but, Luers was also a good team and that is why they looked hopeful . . . Hopeful of victory. It was an exciting game when we got the first touchdown. People from all over Fort Wayne showed their support for us, stat- ed Chris Palmer, sophomore. Another sophomore, Ed Rondot, said, The emo- tions were electrifying throughout the game. We always knew we had a chance. It was great! The game progressed, Luers was in the lead. Luers lost the lead. Then, they re- gained it again. In the end Luers lost. Cha- tard had been given its toughest battle of the season. The bus ride home to Fort Wayne would not be as long as Chatard had expected because Luers knew they had done well . . . and they always will, As sophomore Betsy Kitch said, We almost did it! It was a close and exciting game, and even though Luers lost, we came out win- ners in the long run!

A PLACE TO RUN It all began quite innocently; of course, most everything did then. It was during summer vacation when a friend and I happened on this place, a little park quite concealed and only a few blocks from my own home. When we first found it, we were much too busy to re- alize what we had stumbled onto. For the next month or so we didn ' t re- turn to that deserted little ghost town, for it had no great significance for either of us. It was just a place wh ere one day on a long walk we had stopped and greedily taken in the hot summer sain. Little did I know that this small insignifi- cant park would soon be my place of refuge. It was now the last of August and my friends and I returned to school. 1 had been in school for about four weeks. four of the most terrifying weeks of my life, when suddenly it hit me. A voice inside me spoke sweetly and softly; I found myself drawn to a place not clear in my mind. The beauty of this foreign place was overwhelming, and soon 1 re- alized it was the park. The little worthless park that I had par- taken of so selfishly that summer. Sud- denly all my sorrows disappeared as . . . as if they were lifted from me by some strange and wonderful force. When 1 returned home that night I knew more sorrows would undoubted- ly await me, yet deep in my soul I re- membered that small voice which had drawn me to the park, and joy swept over me; I knew I had a place to run. — Kim Reehm Mike Mays Donna Miller Rebecca Miller Janeann Millikar Mike Millikan Patrick Minick Trent Moore ]im Mount Mark Mowan Tracy Muncey Kate Murphy Mark O ' Neill Chris Patrick Lisa Perrey Patty Perry Sharon Pictor Jeannine Poiry Dan Quinn Greg Rectanus Shelly Renninger . ndy Rieger Freshmen — 45 Mike Riemen Belinda Robbins Jim Romary Mollv Romarv Matt Roskuski Beth Ruzzo Sean Ryan Steve Schaefer Sam Schenk Don Schlensker Robert Schmitt Pete Schneider Denise Schuhler Paul Sinnes Andy Spears Matt Stark Joe Stoody Jane Strack Amy Toll Donald VanDaele Mike Wagner Greg Walker Michael Ward David Weber Brigid Welch Jeff Wertman Stephen Westrick Ed Williams John Berghoft studies hastily before class. !

Freshmen: A new Beginning. Nervousness, excitement, and contu- sion are some of the feelings that fresh- men experience as they begin high school. Ahead of them is the challenge of meeting new friends and teachers. There are also many new experiences for them that will be scattered through- out the year. Nancy Mattingly com- mented, I ' m really enjoying my fresh- men year. I have met a lot of new people so far, and with all of the dances and games, there is always something to do. Another freshmen, Danielle Ber- lin, said, I find freshmen year very busy. It was different and exciting meet- ing new people from this school and other schools. Amid the great confusion on the first day, making schedules, finding class- rooms and lockers, and wondering where elevator passes are sold, many students begin to feel welcome. The experience of a freshmen are new and exciting. There are fun events such as the Dance-a-Thon, Spirit Week, cul- ture days in the language classes, and the Walk-a-Thon. Many freshmen par- ticipate in sports, such as volleyball, track, and football. The freshmen also attend sporting events in great num- bers, especially football games. One freshman, Mike Riemen, said, Frosh year was interesting!!! I especially liked the winning football season. Sharon Pictor said, I really enjoyed football season. It gave the freshmen class, as well as the whole school, a chance to get together to show our enthusiasm by cheering for the team. We discovered we all had something in common; frosh love football. Of course, being a freshmen isn ' t all fun and games. There is a lot of hard work to be done because students have six to eight classes. For freshmen, free time is a luxury.

They work to maintain the upkeep of the school and to provide the stu- dents and teachers with nourishing meals. In addition to providing these necessary services, they find enjoyment in their work. When asked why she likes working at Luers, Mrs. Joan Bauman said, I like working around the kids, they are well disciplined and everyone is friendly. Most of these workers have already been associated with Luers as the parents of Luers students or Luers graduates. They have really been an im- portant part of our Luers family and reli- gious atmosphere. Jerry Houser serving the famous school lunch.

In fact, it was a very special home- coming as it was the closing activity for the 25th Jubilee Celebration which be- gan in May of 1983. The week contained the typical dress up and dress down days, Mr. Chest (Jay Smith) and Ms. Legs (Jill Logan) contest. Hush Card Day, Skits and Walk-A-Thon. Saturday night featured some specia events. The football team handed Con- cordia a severe loss (30-0). The Alumni Association gave away several prizes— during the game and halftime. The homecoming court was presented at half time. A fireworks display caused a fire at Southgate requiring the City Fire Department to extinguish it. The days of activities ended with the Homecoming dance and several parties for the Alum- ni and parents. The Walk-A-Thon was a highlight of the 1983 Homecoming activities. Br.

Prob- ably the most popular fundraiser among the students is the walk-a-thon. On September 30, the 1983 walk-a-thon took place. The goal was to raise $25,000 for Luers. This year, however, the stu- dents, faculty, parents, alumni and friends of Luers outdid themselves. Over $33,000 was raised. The total is nearly $10,000 over and above what was collected in the ' 82 walk-a-thon. The ' 83 walk-a-thon was not without problems, however. Because of heavy fog the start of the walk was delayed for two hours. This failed to dim the spirit and enthusiasm of the walkers.

Carl, the Pas- toral Care team works to benefit those spiritual needs of the community. Members of the team serve at liturgies as greeters, readers, helpers, musicians, singers, and technicians. Pastoral Care members also spend time praying for the needs of the community as well as those who may request prayers for var- ious reasons. Team members also are there to extend a helpful hand to those who may be lonely or just need some- one to talk with about problems they may be having. The Pastoral Care team is definitely a unique aspect of Luers Spiri- tual Life. Luersalso offers a student opportunities to express themselves on ideas of faith through the religion classes. Mass on Holy days and special occasions give students and staff an opportunity to worship as a community. A Day of Rec- onciliation was even established so that students and staff could make wrongs into rights in their lives. SPIRITUAL LIFE: Fr.

Over $2800 was collected in homerooms in addition to 380 boxes of food, used clothing, toiletries, linens, bedding, and other requested items. Homerooms representatives had the opportunity to shop for brand new items for each member of their adopted family. On Tuesday or Wednesday of the final week of the drive these repre- sentatives were driven by school bus to K-Mart where each family rep. could buy items totalling a certain amount. New items were then brought to Luers and wrapped by other homeroom members in order for the adopted fam- ilies to receive gifts under their tree on Christmas morning. The frosh class led the way in the collec- tion of money with a total of $1081.63. Top homerooms were awarded with a jar containing candy for each member of the homeroom. The top four home- rooms were: 4th — homeroom 151, Mr. Mathew ' s homeroom, 3rd — home- room 257, Fr. Gary ' s Key Club home- room, 2nd — homeroom 242, Ms. Buck- lin ' s homeroom, and 1st — homeroom 152, Ms. Roscoe ' s homeroom. Over the past twenty years the Christ- mas Drive at Bishop Luers has donated $62,278.14 to the Christmas Bureau and Catholic Social Services. The needy of Fort Wayne can always depend on the generosity of the Luers community dur- ing this season of sharing and caring. Thank you, students of Bishop Luers High School for your caring and under- standing, making the 1983 Christmas for these families a reality.

Spirit — 69 Invitational Celebrates its Tenth Anniversary Minstrels, music parents, and music students were jolted awake at 5:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning by their alarms. Dragging their feet behind them as they prepared for the day ahead of them, the spirit of the event they were about to host began pounding through their bo- dies. Arriving at Luers at 6:25 a.m., the excitement was already showing. The Tenth Annual Luers Midwest Swing Choir Invitational was ready and set to go. And go it did! By early afternoon nineteen of the Midwest ' s finest swing and show choirs, representing Indiana, Illinois, and Mississippi, arrived at Luers and enjoyed the royal treatment and musical magic of the event. By 4:00 p.m. all choirs had completed their perfor- mances for the six judges, two critics, and thousands of spectators from around the country. After an appear- ance by Luers ' own swing choir, the Minstrels ' master of ceremonies, Larry Bower, a ten year veteran of the con- test, announced the instrumental, vocal solo, and technical crew awards. Then, praying hands could be seen through- out the auditorium as Mr. Bower read the names of six choirs that were to compete in the Championship Sing-Off that evening. From the small sixteen member choir, Norwell Swing Set ' 84, to the Mount Zion Swingsation, twice the size, all six finalists gave excellent performances and fought fiercely for the coveted Grand Champion medallions and tro- phy which stood over five feet tall. The Noblesville N.H.S. Singers took top honors breaking a ten year trend of Grand Champions from only three schools: Carmel, Edgewood, and Mar- ion High Schools. Special recognition was given to Father Fred Link, O.F.M. who founded and pioneered the Luers Swing Choir Invitational ten years earli- er as choir director at Bishop Luers. His dedication and the dedication of the Luers community were what made Luers own swing choir contest the best and most highly regarded contest in the nation. A member of the WBGU staff explains to Phil Black the intricate wiring necessary for the best sound production.

The girls ' team, also coached by John O ' Connor, consisted of the following three ju- niors: Angie Hook, Mary Coffee, and Bridgette Mc- Carthy.

Before the magical trip could take place, many, many hours of hard work had to be done. The senior leadership, led by captains Tim Mullins, Tom Quackenbush, and MikeGigli, was a key factor in the winning success of the team. The offense was led by senior running back Dave Slater, who carried the ball 227 times for 1736 yards. The defense was led by senior linebacker Tom Quacken- bush, who had 325 tackling points, a new school record. The biggest game of the reg- ular season was against arch- rival Bishop Dwenger. The Knights were leading 21-0 going into the final quarter, hoping for an upset. Luers lost a close game 29-21. This tough loss did not dismay the mighty Knights one bit, as they prepared for the play- offs against Lakeland. The Knights won their first play- off game in Luers history, 21- 0. The next game was against a very tough Tippecanoe Val- ley team. Luers was down 14- going into the fourth quar- ter, but refused to give up. The Knights were victorious 27-14 in overtime, thanks to overwhelming fan support. The next game against Craw- fordsville would decide who would go to the state final. On an icy cold night and a snow covered, muddy, and wet Luersfield, the Knights overpowered their oppo- nents 19-7. The excitement was just beginning! LUERS SPIRIT was in the air as the Knights were getting ready for the Trojans of Chatard. Over three thousand crazy Luers fans poured into the stadium in Indianapolis hop- ing for a victory. The game was very close, and was a hard fought battle all the way. The outcome was 20-16 ... in favor of Chatard. Luers ended their season 9-5 and state runner-ups, which is a great feat for being in the playoffs for the first time. Sports — 81 Coach Keefer goes over the game plan moments before kickoff. Coach Keefer and his excel- lent staff should be congratu- lated for the time and effort given to the football pro- gram. It is men like these who make the Luers winning tra- dition continue. Even though the Knights lost their last game, every person ever associated with Bishop Luers can feel very proud of every player on the team. The pride of Luers football will continue for many years to come. The Knights of Bishop Luers truly are: KNIGHTS TO REMEM- BER! The 1983 Bishop Luers Re- serve Football Team posted a 3-5 record. Despite the re- cord the team gained valu- able experience for varsity play in the future. The inavai- lability of Junior experience hindered the team ' s perfor- mance. Although there was not much experience on the sophomore level, the reserve team worked hard in prac- tice sessions and made good showings in their games. Junior Darren Bogdon and sophomore Mike Neher lead the rushing attack with Bog- don gaining 762 yards. The philosophy on the re- serve team is to simply get the players ready for Varsity competition. During prac- tice the reserves are mainly used to help the varsity team prepare for their game. By running the other team ' s of- fense and different defenses, the reserves serve a vital pur- pose for the overall team. Without the reserve team the varsity would be less pre- pared for an opponent. Many reserves moved up to play varsity games when the playoffs started due to injur- ies. Darren Bogdon, junior, played the slot position and junior Pat Mattingly played some defensive back and on the specialty teams. The reserves team in 1983 has set a good example for the freshmen and sopho- mores who will play reserves next year. Varsity Football 9-5 B.L.H.S.

They worked together as a team and excelled beyond the rest. Through hard work and many grueling practices, they made it through sec- tionals and were on their way to regionals. The tension and excitement was rising as the stakes got higher and higher. The fans were going crazy. Through hard work, deter- mination, and team work they made it through region- als. The excitement had now reached a climax. They were on their way to semi-state. They were up against Mun- cie Burris, a team rated sec- ond in the nation by U.S.A. Today. This is where the girls ' volleyball season was to end. Tracy Hicks commented, We had a great season and did our best. It was a lot of fun and the support from the fans was really great. Sports— 85 Three cheers for the Bear, a number 1 fan, never missed a game! Experience Will Pay Off When the Reserve Volleyball Team entered the court in August, the team consisted of three freshmen, six sopho- mores, and four juniors. The starting line-up remained ba- sically the same throughout much of the year being Clare Libbing, Dena Hofer, Laura Miller, Janet Slater, Nancy Mattingly, and Shelly Ren- ninger. A few injuries and the lack of consistency dur- ing play hampered the team ' s overall ability, but still the lady spikers gave it their all. A 15-11, 15-10 victory over Snider and a 15-13, 16- 14 victory over Wayne were the greatest wins of the sea- son. Although the team end- ed the season with a losing record the players still re- ceived valuable playing time. I know we did not have a great record, but the exper- ience gained will sure help, quoted Laura Miller.

Sports— 87 A Sectional Triumph The 1983 Boys Tennis Team proved itself to be one of the best in the city. Its 14-4 over- all record stands as the finest finish in the school ' s history. When the team stepped out onto the courts in early Au- gust, everyone was very opti- mistic. There were new faces of first year players and a first year coach. Coach Jake Din- ius, a graduate of Luers, took on the task of building this team into a hopeful success. There were many promising freshmen who came to strengthen the program. The varsity line-up was solid remaining the same through- out most of the season. Bish- op Luers is the home of the number one singles player in the city, John Zern. John was undefeated in the Summit Athletic Conference and is remembered by his team- mates to have been a player who worked hard for himself as well as for the other mem- bers of the team. Number two singles player, Greg Ha- big, showed his strength when he took important vic- tories over Snider, Wayne, and Concordia. Kevin Ward, the number three singles player, played solidly throughout the year taking crucial victories during sec- tionals as well as during the regular season. His greatest win came against Home- stead ' s John Gilbert. The doubles teams were the greatest concern of Coach Dinius. Brett Hagedorn and Devin Danehy at number one doubles faced tough op- ponents throughout the year. They struggled winning only a few matches. Their strongest performance came in route to victory over Hun- tington Catholic. Mike Kelker and Neal Davenport were placed at number two doubles proving to be one of the strongest in the city. As the season progressed, both players had developed from a very inexperienced pair to a sizeable threat at number two doubles. Mike and Neal showed their ability twice in sectionals when play left them on the court to decide the overall team victory. The reserve players showed the program that it had depth and a promising fu- ture. With such returning re- serve players as Mike Ward and Tom Gildea, the strength of the Luers Tennis Team should continue through years to come. Soph.

Upon taking the court in Oc- tober, the varsity basketball players knew it would be a tough season. The absence of all time leading scorer, Tom Kinder, and a lack of varsity playing experience would hurt the team. Mike Jenkins, Tom Carteaux, and Tom Quackenbush were the only players to receive any pre- vious varsity time and at that, limited. Concern about who would lead the team in ' 83 was pu t to rest as Mike Jenkins came on strong. Along with being the leading scorer with an average of 12.8 points per game and shooting 4 from the field, he pulled down 170 rebounds. Second in scoring was Tom Carteaux averaging 10.5 points per game and Setting up for tlie free throw is sen- ior Tom Carteaux. Beating the Northside players to the basket for a lay-up is John Berg. leading the team in assists and steals. Filling the three other starting positions were Tom Quackenbush, John Berg, and alternating at guard, Dan Fink, Steve Bickel, or John Jenkins. Two freshmen established varsity playing time and needed ex- perience for following years: Doug Kinder, a fine ball han- dler, and 6 ' 5 Don VanDaele.

In a big game against Heritage the reserve shot 40% from the field, 64° from the free-throw line, and pulled down 27 re- bounds in route to a 49-46 victory. In a close loss to Nor- throp, 40-36, the Knights were 14 of 17 from the free throw line. The biggest win of the year came against Bish- op Dwenger in the teams second meeting. 39-30 was the Knights winning score while shooting a promising 47% from the field.

Conditioning Pays Off Late January the girls and boys track and field teams began to prepare themselves for their upcoming seasons. Morning practices beginning at 6:45 a.m. saw each person completing strenuous work- outs—stretching, lifting weights, running, and per- forming the ever-popular power drills. As the morn- ing workouts continued the athletes gained needed strength and endurance and looked hopefully towards the successful season to fol- low. The conditioning phase of the pre-season training ended with the start of what may appear to be an annual event — THE CABIN FEVER RELAYS!!!

As a result of strong area competition, one example being eventual State Cham- pion Northrop, the Knights were often defeated but were able to experiment with their game. The Link- sters lost to Northrop by 10 strokes but Luers 1 player, Chris Nichter, fared well shooting a 38 and tieing Northrop ' s 1 player.

The Winning Continues After a successful season start with six victories, the Luers Ladies ' tennis team suffered their first season defeat in six years at the LaPorte Tennis Tournament. Yet this did not hold back the mighty Knights ' team. The Ladies of Luers finished their tennis season with a 14-2 season re- cord and a 8-1 S.A.C. confer- ence record. The highlight of the season was the Carmel Invitational where the Knights swept victory titlesat the number one singles and numbers one and two dou- bles positions. Jane Filus (Junior), Jenne Hill (Frosh), Kathy Colligan and Shari Gillig (Seniors and Co- Captains) were recognized as All-S.A.C. players and Jane Filus was named to the ALL- State Team for the second year in a row. After eleven years as the only head coach of the girls ' ten- nis team, Mary Lombardo re- signed her position at the conclusion of the 1984 sea- son to accept the position of principal of Bishop Luers High School. Under her di- rection, the tennis team won 154 matches and lost only 21, a winning percentage of .880. Over the past eleven years her teams recorded the following championships: six times S.A.C. Champs— 1977- 1978, 1979-1983, four Re- gionals titles— 1980-83, one Semi-State title in 1982 and two State Runner-up titles in 1980 and 1982.

A young but experienced team took the challenge to heart and worked at it. During the winter the Knights grabbed second place in the indoor league and received valuable time to work on ball control. The outdoor season brought a new coach, Dave Husar, to the Luers ' scene. Dave, a for- mer Luers player, worked the team into shape quickly and brought about a very relaxed mood as well as the spirited Wahoo cry. Led by ALL-SCSC players Jon Halliwill, goalie, Mike Diet- trich, center halfback, and Jim Casaburo, center forward and leading scorer, the Knights won 5 of their first 6 games losing only to later state champion South Bend Adams. The following game with Homestead was hotly contested and resulted in a tie. Two easy wins over Elm- hurst and Wayne then set the stage for the long awaited Bishop Dwenger game. The Saints answered first on the board as they went up 1-0, eight minutes into the sec- ond half. With under ten minutes left and still trailing, the Knights started to make things happen until a goal by sophomore sensation, Tom Casaburo, was called back because of a highly contro- versial offsides call. With the regular season completed every game be- came do or die. After dis- posing of Northrop with ease a rematch with Dwenger was at hand. Unfortunately, the Knights did not have enough in the final game as Dwenger prevailed. Dribbling the ball up the field is sophomore Pete Disser.

The Knights seemed ready to roll in sec- tionals after scoring 46 runs in the two games prior to the sectional semifinal. The Har- ding Hawks denied Luers ' bid with a 9-6 victory. Highlights of the season in- cluded: a 10-9 victory over the number one ranked team in the state, Elmhurst; a 6-3 SAC record, good for a third place finish; and winning the Luers Invitational with victo- ries over Homestead and Concordia. The Knights were led this season by a strong senior class. Led by ALL-SAC out- fielder, Dave Slater, the Knights had a banner year at the plate. The three top hit- ters for the Knights were Dave Slater, Bill Fenoglio, and Tom Quackenbush. No less than ten of the sixteen varsity players hit over .300 for the season. Another im- portant ingredient in their success was pitching. Jeff Wynn led the staff with a 9-3 record and was chosen sec- ond team ALL-SAC. The rest of the staff included: Jay Smith (4-5), Greg Habig(3-1), Jim Poiry (1-1), and Tom Min- nick (2-0). The 1984 Season was an ex- citing one for players, coaches and fans.

The Bishop Luers State Runner-Up foot- ball team brought the Luers family closer together. Representing the Knights— the cheerleaders found it to be a rewarding experience: Assembly after assembly, game after game, the job seemed like it was never done. But for a number 1 squad, the heavy load seemed lightened. Chosen as the best competing Varsity Squad at a Ball State Universi- ty camp session, the ' 83 foot- ball season was a time to shine. More than ever, the cheerleaders were appreci- ated for the many things they did to keep the Luers Spirit up. As the football season ended on such a high note, basket- ball season unfortunately didn ' t get the attention it de- served. It got to be a long season and even though the Luers Spirit seemed to fade, it was the cheerleaders ' job to keep that spirit up. Twelve young women — closer now more than ever — found a personal fulfillment that a cheerleader, as well as any athlete, strives for.

Congress Improves School Life When there were issues to tdlk jbout, problems to solve, and events to orga- nize, Student Congress met on Wednesday nights in room 261. Under the guidance of Co-presidents Bill Fen- oglio and Kim Erb and moderator Mr. John O ' Connor, Student Congress set out to get something done! However, before they did this, they set up a few goals. These goals were to be organized, to hear the views of the students, and to do as much as possible to improve school life. The activities of Student Congress took much organization, and some of these activities were the planning of Home- coming Week and Spirit Week. Each of the days during these two weeks had a special theme cooked up by Congress members. A dance followed each week to end things with a bang. Courts were elected for special dances, such as the Prom and the Homecoming Dance, This was also done under the guidance of Congress. The Volleyball Intramurals and many other special activities round- ed out a busy year. Much dedication was put forth by the members of Stu- dent Congress to help make the year successful. According to Bill Fenoglio, the Con- gress had a great year that was really enjoyable. He also said that the year t ook a lot of time and energy. This can be set ' d when one knows that not only was the time of the Wednesday night meetings used for planning, but also the time during homeroom. All in all. Stu- dent Congress was an exhausting job. Fortunately, The Congress members were outstanding this year, particularly Bill Kimes, the recipient of the out- standing member award. Bill received this award at Baccalaureate Brunch. Much thanks should go to the Student Congress members for all the hard work they have done. The officers for the 1983-84 year were Bill Fenoglio, Kim Erb, Bob Anguiano, Tracy Hicks, John Zern, Brett Hagedorn, Cal Miller, Kerry Kitch, and Doug Kinder. Their dedica- tion, time, and effort, along with that of the rest of the members and moderator Mr. John O ' Connor, is commendable. When it came to the views of the stu- dents. Student Congress members were always ready t o listen. These views would be passed along during the Wednesday night meetings. Co-Presi- dents Bill and Kim were then asked to attend administrative meetings to give their ideas and comments on certain subjects. All of this appears to accom- plish the Congress ' goal of listening to the views of others and then doing what could be done.

That ' s When The Music Takes Them Greg Quinn, dressed for the occasion, is hard at worl practicing for the Minstrels tough schedule. The music begins to play to a catch up beat. Suddenly, a talented group of stu- dents spring to li fe exclaiming, That ' s When the Music Takes Me! Beyond the bright stage lights the performers can see only the first few rows of their audience. Smiles begin to span the faces of these people, and feet and hands tap to the beat of the music. The song ends, and applause fills the room. The group, known as the Bishop Luers Minstrels, realize they have truly accomplished their goal: spreading joy. The 1983-84 Minstrels is certainly the most aggressive and successful group Luers has had. Their year began with many hours of practice in the heat of late summer. On October 30, 1983, the swing choir found themselves outdoors Dancing In The Streets at the Fort Wayne National Bank Swing Choir Con- test. After receiving superior ratings by the judges at the contest, the Minstrels continued to perform at various com- munity meetings throughout Fort Wayne and at the Northrop Swing Choir Spectacular on November 19, 1983. For approximately the next three months the group worked extremely hard to perfect their show and prepare for hosting Luers ' own nationally ac- claimed Swing Choir Invitational. The twenty singers, seven musicians, and technical crew of six dazzled the audi- ence with their variety of songs from the theatrical Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats to the jazz number, Don ' t Get Around Much Anymore. For the first time in their ten-year history, the Min- strels received scores from the judges that ranked them among the top six fi- nalists. Next on the agenda was the group ' s an- nual spring tour. This year the Minstrels toured the Windy City, Chicago. A per- formance at the Chicago Civic Center highlighted the tour and captured the attention of all passers-by. Although previous Minstrel groups usually tapered their spring tour, this energetic show ensemble just had to make a few more outstanding appear- ances. On April 14, 1984, the group packed into an Indiana Motor Bus and headed for Piqua, Ohio, to compete in another contest. After a sparkling show that gave other competing choirs a new goal to reach, the Minstrels, representing the entire state of Indiana, received the honor of first runner-up with notable class.

L 1983-84 THE KNIGHT NEWS STAFF— Right to Left: )enni- fer Daniel, Kevin Coffee, Darren Bogdon, A.D. Choka, A Oser, Fidencio Vasquez, Mike Sfiutt. WRITING A NEWSPAPER Putting out the Knight News is not an easy task because there are many differ- ent jobs involved. The person who has the information the reporter needs may be hard to find. Luckily, the front office has everyone ' s schedule. Reporters use class time or free time to do an interview if one is needed. Before he she goes for the in- terview, the reporter should have ques- tions written down and ready to be asked. The reporter ' s ideas and information are put on paper. The word I is ex- cluded from a good journalists vocabu- lary. The article begins with a lead that summarized the story and ends with the least important facts so that the end paragraphs can be cut if there is not enough space in the paper and nothing important will be last. The story is re- written if there are any mistakes. When the mistakes are corrected the story is sent to the typist, it usually takes five days from the time it is taken to the typist until it is ready for publication. The typewritten story comes back from the typist. It is cut out and then run through a waxer so it is easier to use during the lay-out. Lay out takes about three days because pictures and articles are specifically ar- ranged. Headlines can not run together and articles must be clearly separated from one another. The layout sheets now leave their homes in room 261. Their destiny . . . Instant Copy. Kevin Coffee ponders the work being done by A.D. Choka and Daren Bogdon. by Kevin Coffee My main job on the paper is creating the comic strip and doing any other art work needed. When I write, however, I usually try to stick to editorial and fea- ture articles. News writing is hard for me because I find it difficult to write seriously with- out adding my own comments or opin- ions. This gets me into alot of trouble. I like writing only when its fun, and I have fun writing when I use my imagina- tion. Molly Phillips works hard at the task at hand ... a new layout for the newspaper. _. NEEDED: DEDICATION by Molly Phillips Putting out a newspaper takes alot of hard work and dedication from many people, and this year ' s edition had plen- ty of it. Many people do not realize the amount of work involved. First, a writer must decide where to get the information so that it is accurate and unbiased. After the information is gathered, the report- er must write the story. The moderator then checks over it for grammar mis- takes. The re-checked paper goes to the typist, Mrs. Haag, and then to In- stant Copy. The papers are then distrib- uted to the student body, faculty, and other schools. People also cannot realize the fu n in- volved in putting together a paper. I learned many things. I learned how to write a news story and how a paper is Layed out. I also liked to interview people to find out their views. I met many new friends that I would have never met, and I had alot of fun. All the work was definitely worth it, I can hard- ly wait to work on the paper next year and make it even better. There are many tasks involved for a journdlism student trying to issue a pa- per for the school. Once a student is assigned an article to write, they must get started right away so they can meet their deadline. After the students have written their stories the hard work begins. The articles are all typed and then they are layed out. Mi. Schrein is annoyed with all of the Interrup- tions on a typical Monday morning. Mike Romary works hard on preparing an article for the upcoming Knight News.

Photography Mike Shut t Advisor Ms. Mary Schrein Typist Mrs. Marty Haag Printer Instant Copy Darren Bogdon takes a tazz. by Darren Bogdon As a member of the 1984 Newspaper staff I feel I play an important role in the informing of the student body. Since there are very few writers on the staff, everyone plays an important role in making the newspaper. Even if you are a writer you can have other respon- sibilities as well. I feel good about being on the newspa- per staff because every person is valu- able. The Journalism students put long hours into their work for the Knight News, our school paper. It is a class where much work is not done in class but rather on your own time. The Editor-in-chief assigns the articles and pictures to be covered by every student. The hard part of current news is cover- ing sports events which are almost im- possible because they have one every- day during sports seasons at Luers. Students help each other correct their errors. If you did notice you will wonder how it was before. It is not easy to co er things which interest everyone. The 1983-84 newspaper staff was a good one, but the reason that we had a few bad papers was that during the year we had three teachers. First, we had Fr. Dan Havron, followed by Mrs. Jill Rinne, and concluding with Ms. Mary Schrein. 1 feel the staff did a ery good job if you consider all of the ups and downs we have had. In the years to come I hope that the staff can keep up the good work. John VanDaele. confident after another hit in the pocket.

Members shared both good and bad experiences by demonstrating good sportsmanship, encouraging team members, and offer- ing condolences when gutter balls oc- curred. Although there were not as many people bowling as in previous years, the group still was more energet- ic and livelier than a group of 300. We had fun although we were a small group, says sophomore member John VanDaele. You really got to know each other. At the end of the season awards were given out to the person attaining the highest pin total, highest average and the team in first place. These awards were proudly presented by our moder- ator, Irene Louden. Thanks to Ms. Louden we have been able to extend our Luers Spirit tradition.

Under the leadership of Bill Anders, who has been studying martial arts for approximately 4 years and holds a first degree black belt, the Bishop Luers Tae- Kwon-Do Club has prospered. Tae- Kwon-Do was started in the middle of the 1983 school year. The club has prac- tice every Tuesday and Thursday night for about one hour. The class starts each practice with easy stretching exercises and then continues on to more strenuous exercises. During the class, participants spar (fight) for points which are calculated by the in- structor, Mr. Anders. All of the students practice martial arts on their own, some using weapons as well as their bodies.

FBLA Project— 2nd At Convention The Bishop Luers Future Business Lead- ers of America (FBLA) year, 1983-1984, started out in flying colors. We began with selling painter hats. Different members sold the hats in school and some set a table up at the football games. The hats were a success. Later FBLA week was celebrated. Dur- ing the week, various activities took place. Posters were hung up in the halls and different dress attires were sched- uled for designated days. Projects were not beyond the reason of this year ' s FBLA club. This year, our chapter ' s project was a field trip for area schools sponsored by the Luers chap- ter. Participants visited K-mart Distribu- tion Center and North American Van Lines. After the field trip, all were invit- ed back to Luers for a pizza party. In every business one must attend busi- ness dinners and the Luers FBLA was no different. Members dressed in their best and went to Casa D ' Angelo for din- ner. A real estate man was invited to talk about how to start a business . Again an FBLA success! To put a finishing touch on our year in business nine members along with the moderators, Mr. Matthew and Mrs. Hake, went to Ball State University for the annual convention. The group com- peted in various competitions winning a second place in most outstanding pro- ject . All in all it was a pretty good year.

New . . . But Very Successful In the 1983-84 school the National Hon- or Society was under the guidance and leadership of our co-moderators Ms. Mary Lombardo and Ms. Jill Rinne. As co-moderators they met with the Na- tional Honor Society board to arrange meetings, invite guest speakers to the meetings, and of course to get the Na- tional Honor Society members working on different activities throughout the school year. Considering that both the board and the co-moderators were completely new this year, they worked very well together. The 1983-84 National Honor Society board consisted of: Senior Mike Gigli as president. Junior Wendy Baach as Vice President, Senior Kevin Adamson as Treasurer, and Senior Teresa DeVido as Secretary. Along with the board were the four different committees of the National Honor Society. These commit- tees are headed by a Senior and a Junior. The four different committees are: Edu- cation, Publicity, New Student, and one for Career Day. The National Honor Society was heavily involved in two large activities at Luers. The first was. Career Day, in which the National Honor Society invited speak- ers of different professions to talk to the students about their different occupa- tions, arranged the speakers ' schedules, and also the students schedules. Be- cause of the hard work put into it by Ms. Lombardo, Ms. Rinne, Karolyn Kinder, and the rest of the National Honor Soci- ety members it was a huge success. The second activity was the North Cen- tral Evaluation. The National Honor So- ciety acted as the welcoming commit- tee and tour guide as the North Central team evaluated our school. The National Honor Society is growing every year and has many promising years ahead.

Marching Luers Style - The Bishop Luers Marching Band took on a new look this season — clean, sharp-looking new uniforms. The white jacket with piping in black and a red cape together with the embroidered Knight insignia gave each member the look of a modern Knight. Besides the new uniform the band ' s performance was remarkably im- proved. They were runner-up at the Three Rivers Festival Parade and re- ceived a second division rating at the District ISSMA Marching Band Contest. The band also amazed the large crowd in Indianapolis with a near perfect per- formance. Our band definitely showed the Chatard crowd what Marching — Luers Style was all about as members of the Chatard band stood in awe! The Band entered concert season per- forming at both Christmas and Spring concerts. They also competed at the ISSMA Concert Band Contest where they received a second division rating, a well deserved mark since they compet- ed in a higher class this year. Accompanying the Band again was the Auxiliary Band. They also had uniforms designed to complement the new band look. In addition to marching season the girls also performed during half times at home basketball games. In late March the group competed in their ISSMA Auxiliary Contest where they received two— firsts and one — second. The girls finished their season with a remarkable routine performance at the Spring Con- cert. The entire instrumental music season can be determined a success and the group awaits bigger and better accom- plishments in the future.

As I write this at about 2:15 a.m. on June 29, I realize regretfully that we are sev- eral days past our final deadline. Acco- lade 1983-84 will only be slightly late and that is a triumph because this year- book has had its share of problems. But even with the problems many peo- ple helped me tremendously with this yearbook and I would like to express my sincere thanks to them. First, to Ms. Roscoe, the lady who agreed to be advi- sor when no one else would. She kept me going especially near the end. Also I need to thank Fr. Dan who got me start- ed and convinced me to carry on even after he left. Mr. Jon Winteregg, our Herff Jones representative, who spent alot of time teaching me the basics. A big thank you to my parents, especially my mom, who h ad to put up with me through the whole thing. And last but certainly not least, the photographers and 1983-84 yearbook staff who stuck with me until the end. Accolade 1983-84 may not be an award winner and granted there are some mis- takes, but it is a great yearbook because of the people who worked on it. We all gave of our time, our talents, our ener- gy, and a part of ourselves to this year- book. We all worked on it together and we finished it together and to me that is better than any award. So to all the Luers students, this is your book and I can only hope that it will be as special to you as it has been and will always be to me! Thank you very much. Sincerely, Kari Kinder Editor THANKS!! Special thanks go out to Ron Merkler, Tim Ehinger, Lisa Esquivel, Al Oser, Ke- vin Coffee, Molly Phillips, Darren Bog- don, Mike Shutt, Lisa Kennerk, Tracy Hicks, John Zern, Neal Davenport, Brian Budreau, Jeannine Poiry, Mike Millikan, Ms. Mary Lombardo, Mr. Larry Gerar- dot, Kevin Mowan, our photographers: Paul Logan, Brian Keith, John Gabrek, and Chad Carnette, for helping prepare this volume of the Accolade. A special thank you is extended to Mr. Jon Win- teregg, Herff Jones Representative, whose knowledge, patience and time were a great asset in getting this year- book started and rolling over a short period of time. Teresa Vanlandingham prepares one of ttie 84, two-pate spreads for the yearbook. 166— Closing :i 3; For years I have always been one to just sit and enjoy yearbooks at Bishop Luers High School — connplementing as well as criticizing. Working on the Accolade this year has been a truly unique exp er- ience. It makes you learn to appreciate all the hard work that goes into prepar- ing such a publication. And hard work- ing students is what this yearbook is all about. With the departure of Fr. Dan F avron and the acquiring of a new — totally in- experienced advisor — the staff mem- bers took it upon themselves to make this yearbook happen. But, they were not alone in their cause. The Luers com- munity was there to help. Staff mem- bersapproached more than 30 different students, faculty members, coaches, parents, and school staff members for help in article writing, ads, photo- graphs, and general support. Once Wcndi Pence and Kevin Ward mdster ihe art of iropping pictures! COLOPHON llcrff Jcjnes Yearbook Company of Montgomery, Alabama printed 350 copies of the 1983-84 Accolade We Did It Right. A staff of 22 compiled the 158 page book on Bordeaux 80 [japer with a symth sewn binding. The cover specifications include Flag Red 1003 and Black 1075, applied color Rich Gold 0015, stiff board, and 160 pt. board weight. Body type was 10 pt. Optima, index and captions were 8 pt. Optima, and senior captions were 5 pt. Head- lines were 24 and 36 pt. with subhead- lines at 18 pt. 72 pt. white letter in a 100% Black screen were used on the far right third of each division page. The cover contains the distinctive crest of Bishop Luers High School. The crest bears the Franciscan coat of arms inset into the Franciscan TAU cross and topped with the turret, symbol of Fort Wayne. A book representing learning and scripture rests opened upon the cross out of which rises the Knight. The design was executed and presented to Fr. Fred Link by Mr. Jim Kress. Photog- raphy equipment was provided by Wal- ters Studio, Inc. The book contains over 1700 photos. Photographers used over 200 rolls of 20 exposure 400 ASA film. Our representative from Herff Jones Yearbook Company was Mr. Jon Win- teregg. again the Luers community would not let a group down. The product, which you have undoub- ledly looked through by now, may not be the best in quality but it represents concentrated efforts by 22 staff mem- bers over a short, 3-month period of time. Such work is highly commend- able. The dedication to the cause is truly inspiring. I find myself quite honored to have been a part of the making of this 1983- 84 yearbook. It is a real example of how the Luers family pulls together to make things happen. The Accolade staff and Luers community should be proud of this book. Together We, truly. Did It Right!
