Just Owe! There was spirit, there was scandal, there was victory, there was defeat. The 1982-83 school year was not just another year. It was unique as seen through every BN eye.

As July became August, we felt it. As the thought of another school year of sitting in classes became apparent, we dreaded it. We all experienced different emotions at that time—anxiety over our first year as Fresh¬ men at BNI, fear over the tough schedule of classes, or optimism over our last year as Seniors. Nevertheless, the 1982-83 school year was upon us and we had only one chance, one opportunity to make it the best. There was only one place to be—Bishop Noll. First semester flew by without us ever knowing what happened. September and October were busy months as Flomecoming preparations became everyone’s priority. Next we looked forward to the Battle of the Bands, and then Christmas break, but not before semester exams, (continued page 5) Showing the sign of victory, Debbie Jakubielski and Demetrius Saulsberry let the Highland fans know exactly who is number one. The view from the outside does not change much but the fall of the year brought the trees in front of school into peak color. 2 .. .

In between thn vents were Friday nig! at the Jootball games and Bobby Beach, Sunday nights at home working on homework, Wednesday mornings hearing the weekly bulletin being read without really paying any attention. We went from one week to the next, in one way they seemed to be a constant replay of the week before. But things did happen to make each week unique, in fact, each day was unique if we can only remember the one thing, the one class, the one game, the one teacher that made it unique. They are all there, in our minds, we all have plenty of our own personal stories to recall. The one thing that keeps it together, keeps it alive, and keeps it vividly placed in our minds—is us, the student body. We are one . . . just one. We are unique, we do unique things, we think unique thoughts. We are Bishop Noll and no one can top that.

Homecoming comes and goes, Battle of the Bands blasts us for an evening, the Red Cross derives life- giving blood from daring upperclass students—all of these are regular occurrances each year and we tend to forget any special moments that may have happened, moments that we live only once but recall as many times as we desire. Recalling exactly what happened in the 1982-83 school year is a challenge. Which year was it that the Homecoming parade did not get rained on? Which year was it that the National Honor Society set precedent and held a Battle of the Bands in the fieldhouse? Which year was it that sixteen Varsity football players did not play the last game because of disciplinary action? Can we remember which year it was that we gave our first or maybe our second pint of blood, that we all went crazy over Ad am Ant, the “double-layered” look, crew neck sweaters, and Friendship Pins? It was 1982-83, the same year that the entire country was terrified over the Tylenol murders and the entire student body was “institutionalized ” with parking stickers for our cars and padlocks for our lockers. These moments were not always the best nor were they always the worst. They were exclusive only to this year. We lived through it all, experiencing those moments, good and bad, which happen only once. With anticipation showing in their •s eyes, Joy Cramer and Ricky Tolin intently watch as the Homecoming Queen candidates are introduced during half time at Friday’s game.

The theme was selected: The Magic of Camelot. From there the Student Council, along with the entire school, worked to put together a week of dress up days, a parade, pep rallies, and a dance that would create a mood of being in Camelot. One idea, proposed by senior Donna Har¬ mon, was an Add-A-Link Contest. It had nev¬ er been done but the idea was enthusiastical¬ ly accepted. Each class would purchase links for a paper chain at 5c per link. The class with the most links would receive 25 points towards the Spirit Competition. The showcase outside of the auditorium became the center of attraction at all of the lunch hours as the four chains were displayed and the totals posted. The competition was apparent between the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The Freshman class fell out of the competition early but did continue to buy some links. Some money was actually being collected and held in reserve until the very last day. This tactic worked for the Sophomore class as they purchased over 5000 links and won the Add-A-Link Contest receiving the 25 Spirit Points. Tension and rivalry were stirred up and were apparent every single day. The money that was raised was totally unexpect¬ ed but helped make Homecoming a success. The parade, on Thursday, brought a var¬ ied display of floats with slogans from “La¬ dies of the Knight” by the Y-teens to “Scram- a-Lot” by the Class of ’83. (continued on page 11) This fiery dragon belongs to the Class of ' 85. It is just one example of the hard work and long hours spent working on all of the floats and other things, such as decorations for the dance or a routine for the pep rally. It’s Merlyn himself!

It was shown again at Friday’s pep rally as the Pom Pons put on a mock radio interview of the various football players and Coach Vlasic. The “on the spot reporter” was Debbie Jakubielski and the answers to her questions came in the form of some top 40 hits and some oldies. Their skit made the difference in the pep rally and it was an effec¬ tive way of increasing spirit and unity. Friday night arrived and cars began filling both parking lots and any available space on Chicago Avenue and Hoffman Street. The game was a losing battle for the Morton Gov¬ ernors. It was no difficult task for Coach Vla¬ sic and his chivalric knights to shut out the Governors 23-0. Half time activities brought the crowd a break in the relentless scoring, although they were loving every minute of it. The converti¬ bles rolled out into the chill of the October wind in front of the warm, ecstatic fans that lined the drive. The five candidates were in¬ troduced and escorted onto the platform on the 50 yard line. The moment was here, ev¬ eryone waited anxiously for the announce¬ ment . . . “The 1982 Homecoming Queen is Jill Kozak!” Tears flowed, hugs were exchanged, and the crowds reluctantly rushed off the field to prevent any delay in the start of the second half. The 23-0 defeat of the Governors made Homecoming a truly magical week. Saturday, one last evening to enjoy the spirit, celebrate the victory, and experience the magic at the dance, was here. The music that evening was provided by one of the Calu¬ met Region’s finest, Stonewood Fox. The weather was rainy and warm that evening as the couples danced the night away and at approximately 10:00 p.m. the band took a break and Mr. Touchdown was announced. This year, the award went to Pete Stevenson. The band played for another half hour and finally ended as the couples began leaving on that rainy evening to enjoy a night out spell¬ bound from the week long activities exper¬ iencing the Magic of Camelot. ijnnt? muting (Umtrt Debbie Juscik Candice Trotman Queen Jill ko ak Cher l Macocha Lisa Faulkner HOMECOMING ... 11 Searching for symbols.

In addition to being at a new school, they have to face many new responsibilities. The retreat program was set up to ease the tensions of school life and help the students find out more about them¬ selves to help them learn to relate to others. The Freshmen and Sophomores’ retreat lasts until 2:00 and is held in the basement of St. Marga¬ ret Mary’s Church located right on the Noll cam¬ pus. The Freshmen and Sophomore retreats focus on encouraging students to make new friends and to know themselves better. The Junior retreat is an all day affair at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hobart. The theme of the Junior retreat is trust. Students learn that they really are dependent on each other and they learn about responsibility. The Senior retreats had been previously held overnight but this year it was changed by order of Bishop Grutka to a two day retreat at All Saints Church in Hammond. Senior retreat prepares the seniors for the future through the experience of affirmation. Retreats allow the students and the faculty to just sit back and not worry about “outside” respon¬ sibilities. Through the day, they share their exper¬ iences through group discussions, private talks,! skits and other planned activities. Time is also set , aside for eating and just playing around. Before each retreat, watches are removed so no one will worry about how much time has passed. And all the retreaters can escape the 8:00-2:00 routine. There are several days that the retreats 5 are scheduled so that the students can choose the most convenient date. The friendships formed and feelings shared are indescribable. Any retreater when asked “How was it?” can only say “It was great!” For the past several years, Sister Arlene has been in charge of the Campus Ministry which in-, eludes the retreat program. The icing on the cake, ' so to speak, is the selfless support by the faculty. Their active involvement in the retreat program carries their concern about each and every stu¬ dents’ academic performance to a much more per¬ sonal and spiritual level. Teachers are more than: instructors, they are true friends, in and out of the classroom. The retreat allows us to go beyond our everyday limitations and find out the most about ourselves and others. While discussing one of the topics, Ivan DeLeon shares his feelings on it as Ed Kolisz and Jonathan Johnson l isten. Given a chance to say exactly what can’t be said verbally.

RETREATS ... 13 On a Friday night in October, the fieldhouse began to fill with people. Curiously, they were here not to see a basket¬ ball game, as the season had not begun yet. There was no pep rally, the football season was over. The reason the crowds thronged to BNI was to see the Battle of the Bands. Traditionally, an event such as this would be held in the school cafeteria, but this was by far no traditional event. The event was sponsored by National Honor Society, who outfit¬ ted the gym floor with risers to accomodate the bands and refreshments to accomodate the spectators. Soon the fieldhouse was packed with enthusiastic stu¬ dents who turned out to support their favorite bands, whose members must include one Bishop Noll student. The air was vibrant with the fiery music and excited applause. The floor was alive with people swaying, bobbing, and moving around in ways generally associated with dancing. After each band had its turn exhibiting their talent, the mass of spectators was allowed to vote for their favorite. When the ballots were totalled, Monarch featuring Noll’s own Brian Westfall, was found to be the winner of the $150.00 first prize. It was an extremely close race among Monarch, Fury, Pearl, and Cyanide. The crowds went away satisfied with what they had heard and disappointed that it was over so soon. The bands, them¬ selves, were amateur but the sounds provided were profes¬ sional. The fieldhouse now stood silent; awaiting for another day to congregate the student body for another event, that would unite us both physically and socially. Opting for less hard rock’n roll tunes, Ben Likens of Pearl sings his version of Genesis’ hit “Paper Late.” As lead singer for Monarch, Brian Westfall pauses shortly before con¬ tinuing with a string of songs. With fans crowded around the ris¬ er, Todd Drury of Fury, jams on the drums to entertain everyone present. BATTLE OF THE BANDS ... 15 j WEAK DAZE It seems to affect every one of us and the harder we try to get rid of it the worse it gets. From a horrid look in the mirror to a burial of a face in a pillow, from dawn to dusk— before, during and after, it is a continuous process. Living! We all do it, some show it better than others. Five days of school and only two for relaxing or catching up often leave us in a weak daze. The less we accomplished the day before and the more we have to do today the harder it is to get out of bed each morning. The electric blanket ran all night long but the fur¬ nace didn’t so we decide to stay in bed where it is warm and safe. Yet most mornings there is always some disturbance which forces us out of bed—usually an angry mother or cry¬ ing baby. Getting ready for school in the morning is always an interesting venture. Some of us have a cut and dried, never-fail routine to spruce up the ailing appearance and some of us have no routine and just go to school look¬ ing like we did when we climbed out of bed. And then there are those unpredictable peo¬ ple who surprise us each and every day, nev¬ er looking the same twice. In class we wish that the teacher would either promise an interesting lecture or prom¬ ise not to wake us up if we happen to doze off into outer space. Lunch time rolls around and if you are a Freshman it is breakfast at 9:55 and if you are a Junior it is supper at 12:25. No matter what time they serve us the menu can still make heads spin and stomachs turn. Seventh hour is always a clincher. It is sometimes mellow and other times it is ex¬ tremely rowdy. The end is signaled by a few words heard daily over the P.A.: “May 1 have your attention please.” All through the build¬ ing signs of relief echo out of classrooms and into hallways. The evening still brings a dreadful thought for many as it is the time to accomplish the task of completing all of the homework as¬ signed and still getting some sleep. It is diffi¬ cult for some since there are other commit¬ ments such as: a job, a sport, a club or activity, a little brother or sister, or any other timely endeavor. There never seems to be time to recover from the weak daze. Refuge is found by some who sleep during study hall, lunch, or a lec- ture.The latter being somewhat risky since some teachers are picky about having an au¬ dience that is alert and responsive. We should even consider the faculty. They are confronted with the same problem we are. Their homework is our homework, so to speak. They have to correct all of the test papers and assignments in order to calculate grades for each of their students. It is prob¬ ably true that faculty meetings with the ad¬ ministration can resemble some of the lec¬ tures that we get during classes. Nevertheless, it is a daily battle that lasts all week long, from one week to the next. Some are worse than others but it is never unlikely to find ourselves caught up in a weak daze, searching for a way out. Giving his eyes a rest, Vernon Simpson removes his glasses and rubs his face to try to make himself last just a little while longer through the lecture. With a bit of a smile on his face, Coach Vla sic, Dean of the Boys, reads excuses written on tardy slips and signs them for all of the late students. WEAK DAZE ... 17 HIE LIST 1ISS SMITH Oil FlillL TWIST Was it a story about Conway Twitty or Elvis Presley? Most people who saw it readily identified Elvis Presley with the main charac¬ ter in the Fall Musical production of Bye Bye Birdie. The character’s name was Conrad Birdie, which is a closer resemblance to Con¬ way Twitty than Elvis Presley. The story line carries a dual plot which runs together for a unique conflict of relation¬ ships. To explain it sounds much like a televi¬ sion soap opera. The story opens in New York and in Sweet Apple, Ohio. In New York we found Albert Peterson, manager for singer Conrad Birdie, and his gorgeous secretary, Rose Alvarez. The two ended up in marriage but what happened before then is what made Bye Bye Birdie fun for the cast and the audience. Conrad was to be leaving soon for the ser¬ vice and Albert wanted to make a big event of it but Rose was more interested in her marriage to Albert. Albert’s mother, Mae, was an obstacle to the marriage so Albert concerned himself with writing a special fare¬ well song for Conrad so as to avoid any talk of marriage. The story then moved to Sweet Apple where Kim MacAfee, lucky fan of Conrad’s, With marriage on her mind. Rose (Joan O’Connor) attempts to help Albert (Mark Rathburn) write the lyrics to his new song “One Last Kiss.” was to receive “one last kiss” from Conrad j Birdie before he left for the War. His farewell song was entitled “One Last Kiss.” Kim MacAfee was the source of the confu¬ sion in Sweet Apple as she tried to love Con- ] rad, her boyfriend, and her unhappy family all at the same time. The kids felt that they I were missing out on a lot of living and tried to corner Conrad and attempt to go with him, . but he was thrown in jail. The story closes with Conrad gone. Rose ] and Albert happily married, and Mae finally j agreeable; the MacAfee family also returned 1 back to normal. The music provided a variety of Rock, | Jazz, and Charleston including: “Put on a I Happy Face” by Albert, “One Last Kiss” and “Honestly Sincere” by Conrad, “An English Teacher” and “Spanish Rose” by Rose, “How to Be a Woman” by Kim MacA¬ fee, and “Kids” by Mr. and Mrs. MacAfee. | The final twist in the 1982 production was j a treat for the entire cast who were able to I see themselves on videotape after the perfor¬ mance. It was interesting for it was a first for them to see themselves. The event was defi¬ nitely a treat for all. 18 .. .

That is an ideal way of summing up the way the weather acted during the 1982- 1983 school year. September was an average month with some sweltering days in the 80’s and 90’s and other days dipping below 60°. The fall was just like any other autumn as the trees reached their peak of beautiful color in mid- October and cool, wet weather set in. Winter always has surprises for Northwest Indiana and 1982-83 was no exception. De¬ cember had almost no snowfall whatsover and the trend continued into January and the first part of February with each snow bringing only one or two inches. But finally on February 21st it hit. As stu¬ dents were dismissed for the day the snow was blowing and drifting and had covered the parking lot and roads making driving condi¬ tions hazardous and a test of nerves. This snow was to be the only threatening storm all winter. But . . . With the first day of spring approaching it was beginning to look as though 1982-83 was going to be the fifth mildest winter ever. Tem¬ peratures in late February and early March even topped 70°. But Mother Nature was not finished. On Sunday, March 20 the snow began and by the end of Monday (the first day of spring) over eight inches of “lake snow” had fallen on Northwest Indiana. Most schools managed to remain open for classes. The next weekend brought the threat of another severe storm but warmer tempera¬ tures melted Mother Nature’s white treasure and left the Calumet Region with a rainy spring weekend. The rest of the country was not so fortunate as they dug out from under nearly a foot of snow in many places. It was, to say the least, unique but no snow days were used up so Father Connolly gave the student body February 28th and April 22nd off as incentives for the Annual Fund Drive. Monday, April 25th was offered as a free day as well on the condition that all of the 3000 raffle tickets were sold. The weather in 1982-83 made it a year to remember as well as a year to forget—it was a year full of surprises. Weather: you like it or not. 20 .. . WEATHER WEATHER ... 21 Turnabout oo Somewhere in Time All of the typical things went on: ideas were proposed, a vote was taken, a theme j ' decided, a band was hired, decorations were designed, drawn, and painted, eligible Ser¬ vice Club members were posted, nominated, 1 and a court was chosen, a vote taken and the ! I queen was ... not so fast, Saturday was a long day. It began at 8:00 a.m. as Service Club members arrived at school to begin the long I task of making the measurements and de- ;[ signs on paper become reality on the walls | outside and inside of the cafeteria. The I theme that was ultimately chosen was: I “Somewhere in Time.” The decorations I were made to convert the school into a nine- I teenth century small town within a beautiful | green countryside. Pictures, taken by Spasoff Photographers, began at 6:30 p.m. By the time 7:30 p.m. rolled around the line for pictures was very | long as the nearly 200 couples made their way into the cafeteria and began dancing to I the music of Stonewood Fox. The special | song chosen for the occasion was Lionel Ri- I chie’s song “Truly” and was the highlight of 1 the slow dances. On the other hand many students were in a I fast dancing mood and were content with a great number of fast tunes ranging from a I string of Rolling Stones’ hits to the Hokey I Pokey. No one was left out during these songs which made it difficult to find a place to dance with nearly 400 people attending. The court was soon introduced and the names of those people who helped with the dance were announced and given recogni¬ tion. Without any delay the queen was an¬ nounced. Service Club President, Carol Dan- kovis, as nervous as she could be, accepted the crown with tears streaming down her cheeks. Last year’s queen, Carolyn Ray, pre¬ sented the crown to the 1983 Turnabout Queen. After a slight delay, the house lights were turned back down and the music and dancing began again. The evening was almost ended with the song “Celebration” but most of the couples were reluctant to leave. As a result, the band gave in and agreed to play one last song as the couples gathered up their things and made their way to go out to eat at the restaurant of their choice. Some of the popu¬ lar choices were: Cortney’s on Forty-fifth, Eu¬ gene’s, Harold’s Club, and The Tivoli. Now only memories last, somewhere in time. One couple in two hundred, Mitzi Morfin and Doug Dedelow dance and snap their fingers to the music of Stonewood Fox. 22 .. . TURNABOUT With nervous and happy tears, the newly crowned Turnabout Queen, Carol Dankovis, re¬ ceives a reassuring hug from her escort, George Ad¬ ams, as Chris Lovin and Eileen Collins look on. No one was left out. Near the end of the evening the featured band, Stonewood Fox, played “Cele¬ bration” as the couples formed a line to do just that. In a close embrace, Pam Oltmanns and Doug Gorence share a slow dance together. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □ □ 1983 Turnabout Court □ □ Donna Harmon with escort Warren Wisniewski □ □ Debbie Juscik with escort Steve Hruskocy □ □ □ □ □ Queen Carol Dankovis with escort George Adams □ □ Eileen Collins with escort Chris Lovin □ □ □ □ □ Carla Bochenek with escort Ron Meskis □ □ □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□on TURNABOUT ... 23 Pressure!

It was his first time donating blood. 24 .. . BLOOD DRIVE Blood and Guts It was scheduled for Tuesday and Wednes¬ day, February 22nd and 23rd. Three weeks prior two periods were set aside for Juniors and Seniors to attend an informative assem¬ bly. A movie was shown explaining the path of a pint of blood from inside one’s body to inside another’s. It tried to calm any fears and answer any questions. It was billed as the “Gift of Life” but it was a real blood and guts endeavor. Fr. Connolly was quoted earlier in the year in a local paper saying that Noll was a blood and guts school. This activity was living proof of that in a very literal sense. The next three weeks were busy for two seniors, Ron Meskis and Kathy Ceperich. They had to sign up new donors and begin the scheduling of Juniors and Seniors so as to insure that no problems would arise. Each student was responsible for keeping their ap¬ pointment and teachers were directed to dis¬ miss anyone with an appointment at the proper time. As the first day approached, a popular question was: “Are you donating blood?” The topic of many conversations was fear. Regardless of any movie or pamphlets, some people, especially first time donors, are scared. To donate really takes guts, in a sense. The first time is the hardest. Tuesday, February 22nd was there, at one end of the fieldhouse special booths were set up for testing, special beds were set up for the donors to use, a canteen was stocked, and coolers were prepared to keep all of the donated blood at the proper temperature. Students began arriving and the donations were well underway. The entire procedure takes about a half hour and begins with a form which must be filled out and signed after questions have been answered. A nurse then tests blood pressure, body temperature and hemoglobin. A student is then given a sterile plastic bag with special labels on it. This is for the blood. Once an open cot is found a nurse will test the blood pressure again, clean the arm and insert a long, thick needle which is connected by a tube directly into the plastic bag. In about twenty minutes it is over and after a brief pause, once the needle has been removed, a student can relax at the canteen before returning to class. Afterwards, stories were exchanged and the blood that was donated was well on its way to area hospitals. It was a successful endeavor and the Juniors and Seniors soon returned to normal. It was a real blood and guts endeavor. In a relaxed position. Mike Jabkowski rests easy after giving a pint of blood as Claire Nichols chats with him.

It is a four letter word abhorred by even the best students. Of course it is thes dreaded examination of academic comprehension, in other words, a test—the plague of teenagers everywhere, the delight of teachers any ’ where. Invented by some sadist in the early days of mass education, the exam : has carried over to the present day. Innovations to this mental nightmare f are rare, coming once every decade or so. Over the years those in- authroity have tried to disguise tests by giving them cute names. But do; - not let PSAT, SAT, NEDT, or ACT fool you. All the “T’s” hanging out at - the end of all those abbreviations stand for the same word... TEST! Just I because you take a day off of school or on a Saturday, pay a few dollars, are given a booklet and an answer sheet does not mean anything special. This is the “standardized” procedure. Aside from these incognito tests there are the originals. They are called pop quizzes, major exams, and essay tests. They test one’s know¬ ledge of a variety of subjects such as: science, math, Religion, history, foreign languages, or even a particular novel. Some involve a lot of elbow grease to prevent a syndrome commonly referred to as writer’s cramp. Another common sight on the day of a test is a futuristic looking computer form that comes in red or green. It is frightening with all of the empty squares since everyone knows that they must be filled in without any stray marks. After ten minutes eye strain sets in and you begin to wonder whether the numbers on the test and on the answer sheet still ' correspond. Do not be fooled. No matter what the circumstances or whatever name they take on, whether you like it or not, you are going to take tests. Chances are they will always involve brain-racking, nail-biting and pen¬ cil-breaking ( 2, of course). After an hour an average test is usually over. The sign of relief means an end to the mental nightmare. You discover that it was not as bad as you had thought it would be but you know that more tests lie ahead that same day or that same week. Carefully inspecting that everything is in order, Coach Jim Tarka proctors his class during All Test Day. Devoting her Saturday afternoon, Pam Pittman grades tests for the Sophomore Math Club during the Eighth Grade Math Tourney. TESTS ... 27 A Time of Trial and A Trial of Time Produce A Greater Success than Anticipated In the sparsely occupied auditorium one could feel the anticipation. The potential ac¬ tors and actresses whispered back and forth; here and there would be a nervous burst of laughter. This was the time of trial. The cast for the 1983 Spring Comedy was being chosen. The scheduled performance was to be My Sister Eileen. Tryouts spanned four days—each day there were more empty seats in the auditorium. After tryouts the real work began. Props and costumes had to be acquired, the set had to be built, and the lines had to be memo¬ rized. Hours of practice were necessary to get into character. The cast did put in long hours especially on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, only to achieve a professional per¬ formance. For the cast and directors perfor¬ mance. For the cast and directors this menial existence went on until opening night. This was the trial of time. Opening night arrived and the cast was filled with a different excitement than that experienced during tryouts. New enthusiasm Tryouts spanned four days—each day there were more empty seats in the auditorium. flowed through everyone, who had drawn close during the past weeks. They now felt ready to do it for real. The curtains opened on a somewhat dumpy basement apartment in a rundown section of Greenwich Village. The story cen¬ tered around Ruth and Eileen Sherwood, who came to New York from Ohio to seek their fortunes. Ruth is a writer and Eileen wants to make her debut on stage. For some reason, the two cannot seem to stay out of trouble. The two face a deviate landlord, vis¬ iting drunks, and even create an international crisis involving the Brazilian Navy. As in all classics however, everything works out for the best. Ruth gets a job on a newspaper, meets Mr. Right, and everyone lives happily ever after. My Sister Eileen was a greater success than anyone anticipated. The cast was, for the most part, made up of people who had no previous experience on stage. It was a re¬ warding experience for the cast and the stage crew as the audiences spurred them from one show to the next. Y ou ' re no good. Mrs. Wade (Linda Lyza) yells at “The Wreck” (Cliff Bocian) telling him that he is not suitable for her daughter. Music Is a universal language. When the music start¬ ed the Portuguese sailors all lined up and formed a “Congo Line” following Eileen (Rebekah Macko). Acting as a prospective customer, the landlord (Pete Perez) attempts to offer Ruth (Louise Lucci) money for her “services.” Bed has Its connotations. Here, the Portuguese sailors take it the wrong way and get all excited and scare the unsuspecting Eileen (Rebekah Macko). SPRING COMEDY ... 29 An outstanding showing on his part. John Kartje is presented his First Place State trophy lor Lincoln- Douglas Debate and is wished the best of luck at Nationals by Father Connolly. A Night of Honors The auditorium lobby bustled with ac¬ tivity. Students, parents, and teachers stood in groups and talked of the forth¬ coming program for the evening. This was the prelude to the induction ceremony for the new members of Nation¬ al Honor Society, National Business Hon¬ or Society, Quill and Scroll, and Forensic League. The people here had come to¬ gether to honor those students who exem¬ plified best the ideals of academic excel¬ lence, leadership, and superior achievement. For some, this was the pinnacle of their high school education. A few wondered how they managed to get through the screening. All took pride in what they had accomplished. Included in the ceremonies were special certificates honoring those students in¬ volved in academic aides and Mission Club. Also honored was senior John Kartje who received the Bausch and Lomb Science Award from the BNI Sci¬ ence Department. After the awards were distributed, Fa¬ ther Connolly spoke for a few minutes and related a story to the audience. It con¬ tained a message for everyone to always do their best in any situation. Following the ceremony, those in atten- dence were given the opportunity to un¬ wind, eat cake, drink punch and coffee, and socialize about what the evening had presented. Despite the exclusiveness of the Honor societies, they are important organizations to the Noll community as a whole. Mem¬ bership is something to strive for and earn¬ ing membership gives the incentive to reach even higher. The induction brings together the three vital portions of the school: students, faculty, and parents. This precious union exhibits the pride and dignity of the outstanding Bishop Noll tra¬ dition. A gesture of many thanks. Mrs. Langedyk re¬ ceives a bouquet of a dozen roses from the two-year members of the National Honor Society. It was a symbol of their gratitude for her continued dedica¬ tion. 30 .. . HONORS NIGHT After the awards ceremony, parents and students gathered in the cafeteria for cake, coffee, and punch. For her work on the Marquette, Carla Bochenek is inducted into the Quill and Scroll by receiving a Co¬ editor’s Pin and a handshake from Fr. Connolly. HONORS NIGHT ... 31 Holy imitations! . . . Literally. As aliases Joy Cramer and Nancy Kurnik. “Favorite Teacher Day” turns them into Father Ambre and Sister Imelda. A special surprise. Scott Condes does his imitation of Santa Claus as he brightens up the last day of school before the three-week long Christmas break. 32 . . . IMITATIONS Is It live or Is it Imitation? Christine Flores does her unmistakable imitation of Mr. Thomas Golden during Homecoming Spirit Week. Just a little surprised, Mrs. LaMere gives a big kiss to her unexpected visitor on Holy Saturday evening, the Easter Bunny (Dave Jackson). Imitations Just for the fun of it! Being with and learning from the same teachers day after day and week after week does have its advantages and disadvantages. For all practical reasons high school teachers always influence their students, some more than others. There usually is one teacher or one person, be it a celebrity of fictional character, that each student admires or, at least, respects and tries to model themselves after that par¬ ticular person. Imitation is the best flattery and during Homecoming Spirit Week a special day was set aside for dressing up as your favorite teacher. A majority of the student body par¬ ticipated on this day, only less than did on the traditional Blue and Gold Day. Students were very creative, changing size, color and voca¬ tional status to make their favorite teachers come to life in the halls and cafeteria. In other ways students also dressed up and imitated some favorite characters throughout the year. On the last full day of school before first semester exams were scheduled a senior by the name of Scott Condes took a chance and wore a Santa Claus outfit to school. In the halls and in the classrooms his daringness stirred up some craziness and brought smiles to every face that saw him. Apparently no detention was given to him, despite the fact that he was in breach of the student guide¬ lines. Later on in the year another senior, Dave Jackson, borrowed a purple Easter Bunny outfit from his boss, who had rented it to make deliveries of Easter baskets. Along with ten other students from the Chemistry II class, Dave went to visit a few teachers on Holy Saturday evening. The first stop was at the home of Mrs. Dorothy LaMere, World Literature teacher. Needless to say, she was shocked and pleas¬ antly surprised. Next the group went to their Chemistry teacher’s house, unfortunately, Mr. Pikul was not at home. The evening was not over though. The group then went out for pizza at Giordanno’s in Chicago. Afterwards, they walked up and down Rush Street greeting people and just being crazy. One would be surprised at what the Easter Bunny could get away with. Imitation is the best way to show your ad¬ miration and the best way to show your cre¬ ativity and your craziness. It has worked for those who have tried it, just for the fun of it. IMITATIONS ... 33 Putting on the skids, Christina Karr completes a fast break and faces her Munster opponent. Unfortunately, the Lady Warriors lost the Varisty game 5145. Photo by Bemie Korczyk. Owe. Mom Ume Any athlete will tell you that a tremendous amount of pain and sweat goes into sports. It is physically demanding and mentally exhausting. Strength and size are not always determining factors, but rather endurance and self-discipline. Every dive and every hurdle, every throw and every rebound, every spike and every swing, every tackle and every face-off that takes place during a game or a meet is not pure luck. It is a product of long practices and sincere teamwork. As the players dribble out onto the floor and hear cheers from the bleachers or as team members warm up and receive a word of advice from the coach, a special feeling is present. Confidence! It feels wonderful and players and fans are not worried about the outcome but are concerned only with an honest effort. We can relish the moments of glory, we can remember vividly the moments of defeat. Yet through it all, every victory and every defeat, when it ' s over we can only wish it could happen just one more time. 34 .. .

Keeping his opponent on the go, Noel Dimailig keeps the ball low as he returns the ball with a powerful forearm. In the year 1942, when the great General Douglas MacArthur left the Philippine Is¬ lands while Allied prospects were dim, he promised the people, “1 shall return!” In 1944, MacArthur fulfilled his promise by re¬ turning to the islands. He went on to recap¬ ture the Philippines from the enemy and to give the islanders a chance to start rebuild¬ ing. This year’s tennis team was forced to un¬ dergo the difficult process of rebuilding also. The loss of seven members from last year’s squad, four of whom were senior-varsity players, posed a major setback in the team’s bid for a productive season. However, the Warrior netters battled the odds with a lot of hard work, determination, and sweat. As a result, they were able to turn in an outstanding 10-7 season. The young Warrior team, under the lead¬ ership of second year coach John Kryston, quickly developed, learned, and progressed through the season. Just as the great MacAr¬ thur watched his troops crush and put down all enemy resistance, so too the proud Coach Kryston looked on as his team rambled on to capture their ten decisive victories along with a second place finish in conference play. The team also managed to secure two tourna¬ ment championships by sweeping both the Lake Station Invitational and the Lake Shore Conference tournaments. They also placed fourth out of a field of fifteen teams at the Highland Doubles Tournament. They round¬ ed their season off at Sectionals by defeating Hammond Gavit 4-1 in the first round before falling to Hammond High by a match score of 2 to 3. Winning individual trophies in the confer¬ ence tournament were Mike Witczak at 3 singles, Ben Mangahas and Ferdie Dimailig at 1 doubles, and Bob Bleza along with fresh¬ man Mike Buchanan at the 2 doubles spot. This year’s squad, although in the rebuild¬ ing stage, did manage to produce some spec¬ tacular results. They finished up their season with some strong and decisive victories. The future only holds more victories for the young team as they will be fortified with the return of twelve lettermen to next year’s squad. It is clear to see that the Boys’ Tennis team has a firm foundation on which they can rely on in future years. The team can only im¬ prove on their past performances and they should become the dominant force in the Lake Shore Conference for many years to come. Almost handcuffed, Mike Witczak manages to maintain control and return the ball to his Munster opponent. e strategy before beginning their doubles match, Noel Dimailig and John Kartje give each other some encouragement, as well. 36 . . .

To many observers this is crazy and they all seem to have the same question, “Why does one do it?” The people on the team run for various reasons. Some like the thrill of competition, others value the idea of representing the school, or, as strange as it may seem, they just like to run. However, the biggest reason that these poeple do what they do is for the self-satisfaction they get from running itself. During the course of the season, they run against opponents from other schools in both individual and team competition. They also run as individuals against the clock and their own personal limitations. As a result, each meet poses a new challenge for every runner to better the time they ran before. To participate in this sport requires a great deal of dedication and not just from the ath¬ letes themselves. Coach Jim Tarka is one of the most dedicated coaches in the state and instills a confident and hard working attitude in all of the team members. Another aspect of this sport that makes it such a valuable ex¬ perience in the lives of the team members is that it teaches them to discipline themselves and shows them what can be accomplished when they set their minds to doing something and work hard to achieve that goal. This year’s team worked hard and put in a lot of extra effort in all of their meets. As a result, they were able to finish with a 5-2 record in conference play and a 6-6 overall record. They also finished third in the Indiana Lake Shore All Conference Meet while the Freshman team was able to take a second place in their own conference meet. The team finished in 4th place at Sectionals and concluded their season by taking a 9th place at the Regional Meet. 38 . . .

Dur¬ ing the third quarter, the Warriors slowly moved the ball into their opponents territory. Finally, within one yard of a touchdown, the ball was fumbled and recovered ... by the opponent. Noll’s best shot at scoring just went down the tubes. Yet, offense is not the only game in town. With the tables turned, the Fighting Warriors added coal to their fires and put on a strong defense. The Hammond High Wild¬ cats were 99 yards from touchdown position. On the next play the Wildcat’s quarter¬ back went back after the snap to look for a receiver. He was running out of time when, all of a sudden, the Warrior defense broke through the line, made the tackle, and heard cheers come roaring off the north side of the field. The game was no longer tied up. That safety turned out to be the only points scored in the entire game as the football team treated the parents present on that Parents’ Night to a 2-0 victory over rival Hammond High. This one game was similar of the games in the 1982-83 season. It was not a spectacular season for the Warriors, yet, many of the individual games in themselves were spectac¬ ular, regardless of the outcome. For a team to shut out four teams in a row, while scoring 103 unanswered points is unparalleled by practically any other team. The Junior Varsity, Sophomore, and Freshman teams also put forth an honest ef¬ fort in the 1982-83 season. The Freshmen, continuing a tradition at Noll, went undefeat¬ ed, with a 10-0 record. Individuals that came through for the Var¬ sity team were Paul Smilgius and Jeff Man- chak, just to name a few. Paul was awarded the Brian J. Fech Memorial Award as an ath¬ lete scholar and Jeff was named the Male Athlete of the Year for his participation in football, as well as, wrestling and track. There were many moments in the season, some moments stand out more than others. There may not have been a Sectional cham¬ pionship to brag about but there sure was a season to brag about. 40 ...

Varsity Coach Marge Norton began workouts for the team early in August with many Dou¬ ble-session practices before the school year started. By the 24th of August, the season was under way as the Lady Warriors faced their first opponent, River Forest. Debbie Juscik, captain and the only senior on the team, led a group of talented and spirited young ladies whose teamwork and ambition made them tough competitors for any challenge. The force behind their success was most likely the strong bond the team developed; they were able to really have fun while playing under strenuous situations. Among the high points of the season were the tournaments. The team placed 3rd in the Griffith Tourney and captured 1st in the Por¬ tage Tourney where they were victorious over eight other teams. The final record of 21-9 expresses the successfulness of the sea¬ son. Coaches Marge Norton and Mary Ellen Smith both felt that the team had a good season and were looking forward to the promising year ahead. With all but one of the Varsity players returning along with the back-up of the JV players, next year’s team should be very strong with a lot of depth on the bench. The Junior Varsity, coached by Mary Ellen Smith, worked hard this year improving their volleyball skills and gaining experience which will benefit them in the years ahead. Their season ended with a very impressive record of 22-5. All of the players were evenly skilled and the reason for their success was that they had plenty of enthusiasm and togetherness as a team. For the first time, Bishop Noll had a Fresh¬ man Volleyball team. Although their season consisted of only nine games, this year was a great learning experience for them. It not only gave all of the girls the opportunity to work on their volleyball skills, but it also gave them the chance to get some experience in playing high school ball. All their playing time should definitely strengthen next year’s squad. 42 . . .

Time and Dedication The Compound For Success Time and dedication are the main keys to the success of the Bishop Noll Girls’ Swim team. Long hou rs must be put in during the regular season and the entire year as well, which even includes long-awaited hot sum¬ mer months. During the regular season, workouts are held on every weekday, before and after school. However, dedication is not of the body alone but, in swimming, it is of the mind as well. A positive mental attitude is very impor¬ tant to the team for it boosts team spirit and supportiveness in addition to aiding in the individual performances of the swimmers. Another important element necessary for the success of a swim team is an outstanding coach which the Noll team has in Jim Tonko¬ vich. “Coach Tonkovich is a hard worker and understands the attitudes and feelings of the swimmers,” stated one member. All in all, many elements contribute to a successful team and with the outstanding 8-2 record along with the 6th place finish at the State Meet by this year’s team, these ele¬ ments created quite a compound. 44 .. .

No Pain ... No Gain! Each year, in mid-November, a large group of young men start vigorous training in a sport that will require both mental and physical strength. It will also require a certain degree of “drive” or willingness within the individual to always seek to put out a 100 percent effort. All of these are requirements for the sport of wrestling. A wrestler’s day at Noll begins at about the same time that most students are busy head¬ ing for home and ususally lasts until 5pm. During this two and one half hour stretch, wrestlers run, jump rope, lift weights, and, of course, wrestle. All of this hard work pays off, however, when the opposition’s shoul¬ ders are pinned to the mat and the team points add up to another victory. This year’s wrestling squad finished up with an impressive 8-4 dual meet record. Be¬ sides capturing their eight decisive victories, the team also managed to do well in a num¬ ber of tournaments. The team placed 4th in the Calumet Tourney and secured a pair of 5th places in the E.C. Washington and Crown Point tournaments. The Varsity squad also placed 2nd in the Lake Shore Conference tournament. Although this year’s team fell short of the Conference title, they did manage to bounce back and eventually become this year’s Sec¬ tional champions. They also went on to the Regional tournament where they placed a high third. Although always striving for the team vic¬ tory, many individual honors were earned by this year’s wrestlers. Winning individual con¬ ference titles were Mike McCarthy in the 1121b. class and Jeff Manchak in the 1771b. class. This year’s Sectional title holders were Mike McCarthy, Dan Szymanski, Dan Metz- cus, Jeff Manchak, and John Skiba. The future looks very promising for next year’s squad with many experienced return¬ ees to base the team on. The Junior Varsity will also add support coming off of an unblemished 9-0 season.

With a little over four minutes left to play in the first half at Munster, Michelle Nemcek puts up a perfect shot to add two more points to the team’s But Not Out The Bishop Noll Lady Warriors were un¬ der new management this year as returning Conference and Sectional champions. Under new head coach John Kryston, the team put in much time and effort in learning new styles, techniques, and game strategies. The Varsity squad ended their season with a 4-14 record while the Junior Varsity concluded with a 3-12 record. Although these records do not seem to be the type to boast about, the girls felt that they played as a team and were especially pleased with their v ictory against rival team Hammond Morton. In Sectional play, the girls lost to Ham¬ mond High, but co-captains Julie Purcell and Christina Karr felt that the team had finally come into their own. “The program was so drastically changed that it took us the better part of the year to adjust and play as well as we were able to,” stated Christina. However, the future does look promising for the Lady Warriors despite the loss of five senior players. Coach Kryston made use of many Junior Varsity players in order to give the younger members a little more exper¬ ience for the next season. With more hard work and effort, the 1983-84 edition of the team should be able to regain the Conference and Sectional titles and once again emerge victorious in the great Warrior tradition.

The Boys’ Swim Team took one more step toward bringing another state title to the school. This year’s team increased their yard¬ age and specialized stroke work in order to push themselves to the optimum of their skills and talents. Swimming is the most demanding of all the sports. Swimmers are in the water by 5:55 a.m. for morning workouts but, alas, their day is not over until afternoon workouts are completed. The rewards for all of this hard work are many. Aside from team and individ¬ ual championships, one can hope to gain some personal discipline. Coach Jim Tonkovich spared no expense when it came to the swimming Warriors. Be¬ sides spending long hours with the team at the frequent workouts, he offered a motiva¬ tional program to the swimmers. The object of this endeavor was to attempt to focus all of the swimmers’ energies before their respec¬ tive races or events. The swim team’s staff also included a dietician to improve the swim¬ mers’ diets. Later in the season the team workouts along with their overall attitude were adjusted as well as to insure only peak performances during Sectionals and also for the State Meet which was held at Indianapo¬ lis. With all of this going for the Swimming Warriors, it is no wonder that this year’s sea¬ son was one of the most successful in the team’s history. They finished their regular season with an 11-1 record. The Warriors also won the Hobart Invitational and finished with a third place at Sectionals. They culmi¬ nated this productive season by placing a strong sixth place at the State Meet. The Warriors were paced at state by soph¬ omore Eric Toweson with a third in the 100 yard breaststroke and a sixth in the 200 yard Individual Medley. Sophomore Robert Gass aided with a pair of fifths in the 200 and 500 yard freestyle events. Other top perfor¬ mances were turned in by Michael Luban, Michael Gargula, Steve Hipsley, David Buk- sar, Pierre LaMere, and Tim Kutkowski. Although the team finished with only a sixth at state, one can only smile at future seasons. The team has been and continues to be a state contender. It has seemingly grown into a tradition at Bishop Noll to produce a successful swim program that can excel and it usually does. Year after year, this “tradi¬ tion” continues to draw in many talented freshman who will soon form the foundation for the future. Along with the already multi¬ talented sophomores and juniors, the team can only go on to better things. 50 .. .

ONE MORE TIME ... 51 Continuing their strugg butterfly competitors work to complete another lap in a swim meet at the Noll pool Reaching for the Top .. . Under new head coach Jack Gabor, the 1982-83 Varsity basketball team enjoyed an¬ other successful season. The Warriors ended the regular season at 16-4 and ranked 19th in the state of Indiana. This year’s squad was labeled “rebuild¬ ing” as the season began, but with exper¬ ienced returnees the Warriors knew better. The Warriors were able to prove this as they went on to conquer many highly regarded opponents such as Gary Lew Wallace, Gary West Side, and Indianapolis Broad Ripple. However, the hard work and superb play that was exhibited by this year’s Varsity squad all eventually led up to the Sectional showdown which was held at the ECW field- house. After disposing of first round oppo¬ nent Whiting, they were able to advance into the final round against E.C. Roosevelt. The game was marked with all-around fine play from the Warrior team who employed a de¬ lay-game strategy to attempt to thwart the high-powered offense of ECR. However, in the end, the team came up just short of a victory and concluded another successful season with an impressive 17-5 record. The Warriors were led this year by seniors Rick Tolin and Chris Ferry along with junior Curtis Rias. Strong supportive roles were played by seniors Bill Nagy and Mike Ma¬ dura, juniors Kurt Finke and Dave Lutes, and upcoming star, freshman Teyon McCoy who played an outstanding first season for the Warrior squad. From the Region to Indianapolis, “Hoosier Hysteria” has been a tradition and annual event. This year was no exception as the Noll fieldhouse often became the arena for much of this hype throughout the 82-83 season. The year was not without flaws, but never without spirit. Bishop Noll basketball contin¬ ued to reach for the top. 52 .. . BOYS’ BASKETBALL Racing against his opponent, Rich Sobilo skates with as much speed as possible to gain control of the puck before his opponent has the chance. That’s Incredible!!! As the saying goes, “The third time is al¬ ways a charm.” This proved to be true as the Bishop Noll Hockey Team, skating in their third season, ended up bringing home a total of 14 victories. This year’s team showed a 100 percent improvement over their previous two years in the league, due mainly to the marked im¬ provement and matured play of the senior members on the club. Last year’s club was able to etch only six notches under their win column while in their initial year in the league they did not produce any wins at all. The team’s league record of 11-7 was good enough to give the skaters a second place finish and, in addition, advance them into the playoffs for the first time. The War¬ rior team, although pitted against the first place Bishop McNamara squad, made the most of their debut appearance in the finals. They maintained a strong 3-0 lead through the first two peri ods. However, the Bishop McNamara team on late and was able to quell the Warriors bid by tallying five goals to finalize the game at 5-3. This year’s edition of the Bishop Noll skat¬ ing Warriors was able to produce what proved to be their best season in the three years of the team’s existence. To be able to turn in an incredible 14-18 overall record did not end up to be so difficult with much talent and experience on the team. This year’s squad was led by Bishop Noll All-Stars Rich Sobilo, who was also the leading scorer on the team, Greg Snyder, Mike Werkowski, Scott Condes, and goalie Sean Carroll. Although the team will suffer the loss of many of this year’s senior players, the future will always look promising for the skating Warriors. The team has a firm foundation in Coach Ed Hreha who is always looking out for the team’s better interests as well as bringing out the most in each individual. Rich Sobilo was an outstanding hockey player. In his three years of participation on the Varsity squad he played in 70 games, scored 95 goals, had 55 assists, for a total of 150 points. There will never be another one like him. 54 . . . HOCKEY Hockey in the goalie position a: face-off with his opponent at Homewood-Flossmoor.

The 1983 Noll Track and Field squad was none of these. The skill and experience of the Varsity players was not their only asset, there was not one shining individual who stood out from the rest, and yet there was something outstanding about the entire team—Freshmen through Seniors. Outstanding because the 1983 team was a team, a team that, together, was building and improving with every passing moment. At practices and at meets, the victories and the defeats were all a part of the improve¬ ment that went on all season long. The potential seen in many of the under¬ class runners and individuals in the field events was very real, the next three years will be plenty of time to tap that potential and nurture it. In many ways it was a welcome surprise. The unexpected show of talent, new and old, made the season a good one. There was no need for a state qualifier or any first place championships. A best effort is what it took and that is what it was. It is rare to find a group of young talented students, male and female, who can work, practice and compete together as a team. Whether it meant leading the pack or bring¬ ing up the rear, clearing twelve feet or at¬ tempting ten-six, it meant being a part of the team and that was the most important thing of all. Leading the way throughout the event, Joe Companik shows signs of determination and struggle in his face as he works to come out ahead.

The pro¬ cess is often very meticulous, time consum¬ ing, and requires patience. However, the finished product always seems to be well worth the effort put in. This year’s Boys’ Soccer team could be said to have reached its peak of aging. Their well earned overall record of 5-8 was a dras¬ tic improvement over last year’s 1-14-1 re¬ cord. The entire season was marked by su¬ perb team play and many inspiring individual performances. They played a unique brand of soccer which was characteristic of the “Eu¬ ropean style” of the game. “There was a lot of cooperation between the coaching staff and the team members which led to a more productive atmosphere and a winning attitude which showed on the playing field,” explained senior member Marc Zubeck. Team practices lasted for about two hours every day. Special soccer skills, techniques, and strategies were employed each day to give the team a better competitive edge in their games. The team definitely had to work hard this year and it was well worth the effort put in when they were able to successfully capture their five victories. The only disappointment all year proved to be the 3-2 loss to East Chicago Roosevelt in the first round of Sectional competition. Sen- 58 ... OUTDOOR SOCCER ior Bob Bleza, one of the Tri-Captains, com¬ mented on the season as a whole, “The amount of skill and talent exhibited by this year’s club was just incredible. We had a lot of quality players on the team which gave every practice, scrimmage, and game an at¬ mosphere of intensity.” Besides the Tri-Captains of Marc Zubeck (Most Valuable Player), Darren Szrom, and Bob Bleza (Best Mental Attitude), other sen¬ iors were Jon Noce, Craig Grabow, Pete He- hemann, and Mike Garcia. Strong supportive roles were put in by juniors John Ciezi (Most Improved Player), Mark Vrabely, John On- derko, Jesse Moreno, and Joe Hoess in goal. Improvement on the soccer field was not solely limited to the boys’ team though. The girls’ teams increased their capabilities as well and were able to bring out a bit more competitiveness in all of their games. Out of the four Noll teams in the league, the Ban- chees were the ones who managed to consis¬ tently come out on top. They were led by premiere players such as: Cheryl Macocha, Nancy Beno, Laura Mazur, and goalie Moni¬ ca Mika. They went on to become the 1983 Outdoor Tournament Champions. Besides the Banchees, other Bishop Noll teams in the league included the Panthers, the Inferno, and Scotty’s. The success of all of these was due to the great deal of team¬ work and togetherness which was exhibited throughout the entire season. From the comer of the playing field, Darren Szrom tosses the ball into play and into the direction of one of his teammates, John Onderko.

The girls’ league had the biggest turnout ever in the history of girls’ soccer, with eleven teams joining the sport. These teams really showed their soccer abilities and made each game both interesting and exciting. The eleven teams, according to final place, included: BNI Banchees, Portage, BNI De¬ mons, and Highland. The newcomers to the league included Ogden Dunes, Bishop Noll Panthers, BNI Bandits, and BNI Inferno. Oth¬ er participating teams included BNI Scotty’s, BNI Chicas, and BNI Jobbers. At the end of each season, a playoff tour¬ nament determines final ranking, with each team advancing with a win through a process of elimination. This year’s tournament champs were also league champs, the Ban¬ chees. Although each team and each girl showed tremendous talent in the sport, there were a few who showed extraordinary soccer ability. These girls included Cheryl Macocha, Laura Mazur, and a terrific goalie Monica Mika, with many more girls from the defense, in¬ cluding Lisa Dubeck and Michelle Wrobel. Others included Deanna Haskell, Donna Bo- lalek, Angie Kosina, and Carrie Jones from the Demons, and Jeanne Kolbus, Karen Ci- powski, and Cheryl Mattingly from the Pan¬ thers. Many more girls made the sport an enjoyable experience for players and specta¬ tors. The 1983 girls’ soccer league had a great turnout, enabling many girls to participate in an exciting sport pasttime. Weaving through their opponent ' s defense, John Ciezki and John Onderko attempt to keep the ball away from the opposing team and score a much needed goal.

Having to endure harsh weather conditions, the girls played in 30 degree temperatures and sur¬ vived some surprising rain showers and still ended up beating many highly regarded op¬ ponents. This year’s schedule consisted of mainly Lake Shore Conference teams as well as many non-conference opponents such as Highland and Michigan City. The highlight of the season was the clean sweep in the Lake Shore Conference tourna¬ ment by all five Varsity positions. Leading the way at the No. 1 singles spot was Deanne Keilman followed by Melissa Kurth and Cathy Baker at No. 2 and 3 singles, respec¬ tively. At the doubles positions were the com¬ patible partners of Kim Balka and Rose Hand at No. 1 doubles and at No. 2 doubles were Michelle Morfin and Deneen Costa. Along with each girl winning an individual title, the team was also the Lake Shore Conference champions with an undefeated record of 6-0. Despite losing in the Sectional finals to the second year champions Calumet High School, the girls had a very successful season winning an overall of 14 matches and losing only 5. With a dependable Junior Varsity team and three Varsity openings, next year’s team should be as successful as this year’s squad.

However, any avid golfer could tell you that it takes a lot more than a few swings of a club. To be able to play golf requires a great deal of technique, precision, and concentration. Above all, the game re¬ quires a certain degree of patience on the part of the golfer. This year’s golf team utilized these qualities to turn in an out¬ standing 13-4 overall record which proved to be the best in a few years. Despite being continually plagued by harsh weather conditions, it turned out to be a very pleasing season for third year coach Father Dominic Bertino. The War¬ riors’ impressive 9-3 record gained them a second place in the Lake Shore Confer¬ ence. The team also captured a second place at the Boone Grove Invitational. A 13th place finish in the Lake Hills Invita¬ tional proved to be the only disappoint¬ ment all year for the Warrior golfers. This year’s golf team was led by co¬ captains Joe Gardner and Kurt Finke. Other important roles were played by sen¬ iors Doug Dedelow and Dennis Grzyb, ju¬ niors Bill Short and Greg Purcell, and sophomore Harry Smolen. The team also presented individual awards to the follow¬ ing: Most Valuable Player—Joseph Gard¬ ner; Best Mental Attitude—Bill Short. This year’s team did not have to de¬ pend on a stroke of luck to produce such a successful season and probably will not have to in future seasons. The team will only be losing three members, so next year promises to be even better for the “swinging” Warriors. Getting on the green is every golfers goal and once there they can resort to putting. Bill Short resorts to his putter as he concentrates on getting the ball into the hole. With the flag not far away, Harry Smolen carefully swings his club and tries to get his ball out of sand, over the hill and onto the green. I 64 ...

There are little leagues in almost every community, kids can participate in their high schools, and even adults join in through the many area softball leagues. This year’s Varsity baseball team was no exception to the great l ine of Noll teams. The performance of the team was quite a “hit” in regard to their successful 15-9 overall record. The team was based on many quality players who combined their efforts on the field to produce yet another impressive baseball season. Led by captains Paul Smilgius, Doug Gorence, and Craig Pavlina, the team worked long and hard at practices and were able to show a lot when it came time to play their regular games. “There was a lot of com¬ petition within the team. We really have no set line-up for every game so that be¬ came an incentive to try harder in order to gain a starting position,” commented one member. Under head coach Jack Gabor, the Warriors were once able to take home the Lake Shore Conference title before suffer¬ ing a tough loss to Hammond Clark in their Sectional. The freshman team also had an above average season a s they went on to capture a total of 19 victories which proved to be the most wins by a freshman team in the school’s history. Under freshman head coach Tom Kujawa, the team was able to win an incredible 13 games in a row. 66 ...

To say the least, there were some pretty spectacular moments—out dueling Horace Mann, chalking up a victory over Indianapolis Broad Ripple, and giving E.C. Roosevelt a run for their money in the sectionals. The tensions were building each week and the entire student body was fired up for the culminating weekend. First Whiting, then East Chicago (most likely Roosevelt). That was the route to victory, yet it was a rough route nonetheless. Could they make it? On Friday, March 4th, the last pep assem¬ bly of the year was held. Gathered in the fieldhouse, the school watched as the color- guard, band, and cheerleaders provided the entertainment with plenty of music, cheers, and skits for the basketball team. At one point the players were blindfolded while standing in the middle of the court and asked to identify which cheerleader it was that kissed them. It turned out to be their mothers, who had quietly slipped in only after previous arrangements were made. The truth was an embarrassing surprise for all of the players involved. Also during the rally both team captains and the head coach spoke and reflected on the past season and looked for good things in the future. The first game of the weekend competition brought another victory to the Noll win col¬ umn as Whiting was defeated and the excite¬ ment was carried on into Saturday. Roosevelt was to be the opponent for the final championship game of the sectional comptition. For the Warriors, it was not the best performance ever. With the score close throughout the first quarter, strong defense was the only key to survival. The second quarter was the time to show this as the Noll squad went into a stall with over four minutes still left to play in the first half. Amidst boos and catcalls, the ball was held, passed, held, and passed again until, with only seconds left, Ricky Tolin put up a shot from past the free throw line. The shot hit the rim and bounced After the defeat in the East Chicago Sectional , Noll’s Athletic Director, Jerry Vlasic talks to the Roosevelt coaches about the final game. Posing as two of the Varsity basketball players, Michelle Hansen and Valerie Lukas dance to the music of a song being played during the special Sectional pep rally held on Friday, March 4 during seventh hour. out, was rebounded by David Lutes and put back up. But it was to no avail, the Noll War¬ riors had to enter the locker room at half time trailing the Rough Riders by two points. Returning from the Locker room the War¬ riors had been revitalized, the missed shot was not the end of the game, it was only half over. Strong defense was still the key and the Noll squad displayed this throughout the sec¬ ond half as well. Yet, despite the tremendous effort by the entire team. The result was not in our favor as the Rough Riders barely squeezed by 38-34. The sound of the buzzer at the end of the fourth quarter was a signal for many people. It marked the end of the high school career in basketball and cheerleading. The realization was enough to bring tears into the eyes of the Seniors that would be leaving and the Juniors that would be taking their place. Sectionals weekend ended up being the culminating event for the basketball season and spirit was at its highest point than ever before. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end. As the game winds down, Mitzi Morfin realizes that a victory will not happen and that the Sectional game will be the last game of the basketball season. ONE MORE TIME ... 69 Taking a break from the afterschool practice, Candy Trotman, Lisa Faulkner and Linda Tybik discuss the ordering of Varsity jackets for the Colorguard members. Photo by Dave Jackson. One Getting up every morning, going to school, attending classes, eating lunch, going home, doing homework, going to sleep, starting over. The daily routine, we all have to deal with it. As seventh hour classes are dismissed so too is the daily routine. Because for some, life begins at one forty-five! The noise level in school increases tremendously as students become revitalized. Some catch buses home, others spend time after school. Every day students can be found in the Marquette office trying to complete a “layout” or in the auditorium working on the next big event to appear on stage. Even some are found talking to club sponsors about specific problems or tutoring other students who requested aid. Most students strive on something extra, some activity which makes each and every day unique. A substantial amount of time is required. Most students stay until around 3:45 and catch the “late bus” yet others are devoted enought to remain until 5:00 or even 6 : 00 . An 8:00 to 2:00 day is not enough. School is much more than that. It involves doing things for others, practicing for a half time show, working on Homecoming or Turnabout, or just getting typing completed for the newspaper. It is a way of life and it begins at one forty-five! 70 .. .

Photo by Carla Bochenek. One Positive MOTIV¬ ATING FORCE As the fieldhouse lights dim, the Warrior fans go into a frenzy. The basketball starting line up is announced, the lights return to nor¬ mal, but the bleachers are uncontrollable. No one can stop the rowdy clamor of the crowd, except the Noll Cheerleaders. Within min¬ utes the Varsity squad has the cheering block whooping “Let’s hoop!” The cheerleaders consist of a Freshman squad, the Junior Varsity, and Varsity. Stu¬ dents in each class are represented, and in this way the entire s chool is able to cheer the team through a victory or ease them into a heartbreaking defeat. Unique at Noll is the addition of male cheerleaders to the Varsity squad. The male cheerleaders have become famous for running around in a circle, drop¬ ping to the floor and spelling out Noll 1. This is also the year that the school mascots re¬ turned. Warriors Bob Haskell and Joe Algo- zine could be seen before each game sprinkling the crowd with “Rowdy Powder.” From the popularity of the male cheerleaders and mascots, it seems a new tradition has been established. Regardless of size, strength, or sex the cheerleaders are the positive motivating force which makes Noll full of spirit. Keeping the fans cheering even though a victory will not happen, trying to out yell the “rowdies,” and looking happy even if the new mount has failed, the cheerleaders keep on going and keep on cheering. Not knowing what to expect, Joe Cotten, senior, allows Frances Mrvan to blindfold him during the basketball Sectional pep rally. 72 . .. CHEERLEADERS To finish up the day, Dawn Spletzer, Valerie Lukas, and Michelle Hansen stay after school to learn the newest cheer to be performed at Friday night’s game. Making sure they have everything, juniors, Sandy Klochan and Mitzi Morfin prepare for tonight’s game and a weekend full of homework. Asking last minute advice, mascots, Bob Haskell and Joe Algozine, discuss the routine with cheerleading advisor Miss Knight. To the delight of the crowd, the Noll male cheerleaders preform their infamous circle cheer to spell out “Noll 1.” Santa’s little helpers.

ONE FORTY-FIVE 73 An Ace Season For those athletes who did not have the time or desire to participate in the Freshmen, Junior Varsity or Varsity basketb all programs, but who loved to play on a competitive level, Intra¬ murals are the solution. The Intramural Associ¬ ation was supervised by Mr. Ed Hreha, Mr. James Tarka, and Rev. Charles W. Niblick. It was divided into two leagues: the NBA and ABA. Of the six teams in both divisions, the Swish and Aces emerged with the best regular season records, respectively. During the post-season tournament, the Aces and Mr. V’s Kids met in the championship game. The Aces won in overtime, 34-32. After this victory the champions received their choice of Black- hawk or White Sox tickets. This was the second year that an Intramural program was available, and it proved to be a successful outlet for the many athletically in¬ clined individuals who never had the chance to play Varsity ball, but had an overflowing en¬ thusiasm for the sport. Getting control on this jump ball, Tony Costa lays his hand on the ball and starts to push it into the direction of an awaiting player. During a pre-game warm up, Tim Greer moves in close for a jump shot as he prepares for the game which was set to begin shortly. NBA STANDINGS TEAM WINS LOSSES SWISH 9 0 ALL-STARS 7 2 MR.

Here she leads the group in a shoulder and arm stretching exercise. There was certainly no shortage of people that day after school. After paying the 25c donation many people filled the girls ' gymnasium to have fun and help out a good cause. Even the macho football players got Involved in the charity activity. Possibly not as limber as the girls, they were just as helpful and willing to exercise for their hearts. 76 . . . AEROBICS Stretch, Reach, and Reach-2-3-4, Stretch-2-3-4, Groan-2-3-4, you may wonder what this could possibly be? These are the sounds of the Aerobics Club exercising and dancing their bodies into shape. The club has only been in existence for 2 years now, but it has already established its niche in the Noll community, whith many health conscientious and dedicated aerobi- cizers participating twice a week in vigorous aerobic workouts. This year classes were held on Tuesday and Thursday after school in St. Margaret Mary’s church basement, and for 45 minutes all tables and chairs were cleared away and the room was filled with fast-paced dance music, and panting bodies, with exercises be- GROAN ing led by the club’s officers—Debbie Juscik, Maggie Furjanic, Mary Jones, and Renee Kwiatkowski. For the first time, the club held a special aerobics class called “Dance For Your Heart,” for the Heart Association. Everyone was invited and all were asked to donate 25 c. The session turned out to be a great success with teachers, football players and the regular aerobicizers all exercising togeth¬ er, led by a professional aerobic instructor. Aerobics provides the students with a fun, inexpensive and easy way to exercise, so next time you hear those noises of reach, stretch, and groan, grab your leotard or sweats and join in the fun—your body will thank you! Showing some of her own individual form, Laura Wisniewski moves to the music and sways to the sound in the girls’ gymnasium. With a smile on his face, one of the football players that took part in the Dance For Your Heart, dips to his right with his arms outstretched. Aerobics: Front, Tina Zachary.

BOOSTER CLUB As means of drumming up more spirit, Joy Cramer breaks through the balloons and cellophane with a toothbrush in her hand and begins a skit where the Varsity cheerleaders mock the basketball players. The cheerleading squad and school mascots show the crowd that they are going to ship the Pirates out to sea. Combining their efforts, the male cheerleaders team up with all the female cheerleading squads and perform a routine for the basketball team during the Sectional pep rally. Organized Spirit 200 Proof Heading for a game, first arrivals almost always head for the top of the bleachers. It is not always the best view, but many fans, even the rowdies, seem to always head for the top. Yet, there is a unique group that always makes their way straight for the first rows. It is not that they are selfish, but it is an unwrit¬ ten rule that the front rows are reserved for the Booster Club. The Booster Club is not a club whose pur¬ pose is to support the various athletic teams in their efforts toward a victory. There is a whole student body which takes care of that, yet, they can be somewhat unorganized and at times too rowdy. The Booster Club is organized to be orga¬ nized. They help out the cheerleading squads and cheer along with them rather than trying to drown them out with a cheer of their own. They do support the athletic teams but in an organized and always spirited manner. Any game where Noll is playing is never quiet. There is always noise—it comes from rowdies, it comes from parents, and most of all, it comes from the Booster Club, the group that is always cheering! Showing their support of the school, the class of 1985 yell their lungs out as they take part in the yell contest. Ecstatic over the fact that the game is tied up, jubilant fans express their feelings as the noise level goes high in the Washington gymnasium. ONE FORTY-FIVE ... 79 Joining the ruckus, Sr. Arlene cavorts with Clowns Marianne Juscik, Daphne Williams, Collette Cobek, and Larry Tomaszewski. An Organization of Organizations Caring, sharing, giving and living. At Noll these are special words—they happen every¬ day, in the classroom, on the playing field, at retreats and at nursing homes in the area. Be¬ hind all of this is a quiet yet strong organization made up of little organizations. The main structure of this club is known as the Campus Ministry which is under the auspices of Sr. Arlene. Included in Campus Ministry are the Clowns, Genesis II, the Teen Advisory Board, the Retreat Program, and any other special events which are planned by these groups. The Clowns were a special group of talented faculty members and students who put on shows at various places in the Calumet Region includ¬ ing childrens hospitals and nursing homes. Their crazy antics and silly humor could always bring smiles to even the most sullen children or frail senior citizens. Genesis II was a unique group of students who met each week on one evening at various mem¬ bers houses and discussed topics and talked about individual problems on a one to one basis. As the weeks went by more and more barriers were overcome and the group became very close-knit. Genesis II was a weekly retreat of sorts. For just a few hours each member could stop and just relax for awhile and have some relief from the tensions of everyday life. Another aspect of the Campus Ministry was the Teen Advisory Board. It was made up of a few students who would meet during lunch per¬ iods or before school and discuss problems that concerned the student body. They would discuss plans to assist these problems and plan events which would bring the student body closer to¬ gether. Finally the last aspect of the Campus Ministry is the Retreat Program. It is the bulk of the Campus Ministry and it is where much of time spent by Sr. Arlene is devoted. (For a further explanation in much greater detail consult pages 12 and 13.) From her small office on the second floor be¬ tween B and A buildings, Sr. Arlene has diligent¬ ly worked to provide Noll with a spiritual boost through the Campus Ministry. If it were not for her efforts and the efforts of the many teachers and students involved, BN1 could never be the special place that it always has been. 80 .. .

Doublechecking the list of students on the envelope, Eva Kresich looks to see which students in her homeroom have paid their quarter and which students have not. As a Mission Club Representative, it was her responsibility to collect the quarter each week form the students in her homeroom. 82 .. . MISSION CLUB Without saying a word, Leanne Gayda Lowry the Mission Club envelope and silei Mission Accomplished Do you remember how great you felt when you gave your parents or your best friend a Christmas present last year? It is truly regre- table that this joyous spirit of giving cannot be extended throughout the year for most peo¬ ple. We of the BNI community are quite for¬ tunate, though. We have the opportunity to continue giving through a weekly mission col¬ lection and raffle. Very often 1 hear my fellow students pit¬ eously speaking of the “poor, starving chil¬ dren” in Africa. They jest that they should mail their leftover food to Africa to aid the missions there. Just one nickel a day, one quarter a week, will alleviate the problem in a much simpler way. Last year the BNI fam¬ ily of students made possible the contribution of five hundred dollars to the Maryknoll Mis¬ sions in Africa. We are not only helping people of foreign lands, as some of the money never leaves the Calumet Region. Donated to various regional societies last year was $3,350. Also, donated were fifty large cartons of canned food and two truck loads of used toys. The money contributed each week does filter to very worthy causes, contrary to what so many students believe. The weekly raffles are not “fixed.” However, a person cannot collect winnings unless he has contributed. The money is not pocketed by Father Con¬ nolly. It is not used to pay for teachers’ coffee or the school’s electric and heating bills. It is used to help others obtain basic necessities that we take for granted; shelter, clothing, and food. ONE FORTY-FIVE Lending a There is a special group of Junior and Sen¬ ior girls in the Noll community who form the BNI Service Club. They are special in that each member is selected because of their de¬ pendability and participation in the Noll com¬ munity, and therefore are worthy of praise. The Service Club has several functions, some involve serving for school functions such as the Christmas Boutiqu e, the Senior Banquet, the Fine Arts Banquet, and the Em¬ porium. Besides serving, the club has its own innovative projects, such as “Kris Kringle,” which is a Christmas gift exchange between the members. The Service Club is probably best known for the outstanding job they do on Turnabout. Members begin work on the dance in Novem¬ ber, and continue to labor right up to the last minute for the dance. The theme for the dance this year “Somewhere In Time,” turned the hallway into an old fashioned street with shops, and the cafeteria into a southern mansion, with many elaborate deco¬ rations. The clubs’ sponsor, Mrs. “Ma” Lesniak spent many hours after school working with the girls. It was always evident the girls really enjoyed “Ma” and appreciated all her time and effort. Working closely with Mrs. Lesniak to make the club run smoothly was the 1982- 83 officers—Debbie Juscik—President, Car¬ ol Dankovis—Vice President, Donna Har¬ mon—Treasurer, and Eileen Collins— Secretary.

ONE FORTY-FIVE ... 85 Leading the rest of the group, Roberto Washington discusses a topic at a Hi-Y meeting and listens to other members ideas. Noticeable Changes Traditionally, Hi-Y was a club for the men in the Noll community and Y-Teens was a group for the women. Yet, this year brought some changes as some girls became mem¬ bers of the Hi-Y. Many things still remained the same. Hi-Y also has groups in other schools in the Calu¬ met Region, including East Chicago Washing¬ ton, East Chicago Roosevelt, Gary West Side, and Gary Roosevelt. This year’s club was under the supervision of Mr. Otto Holt. At their meetings, problems were discussed, plans made (such as ideas for a Homecoming float), and other business that needed to be taken care of. For the Y-Teens the sponsers were Ms. Wiecinski and Miss Spence. To become a member of the Y-Teens is a challenging task. Initiation is a required part of becoming a member. It is a fun and crazy part of the club as necessary points are earned by prospec¬ tive members who have to do anything re¬ quested of them. Some examples are introducing oneself to a total stranger, singing loudly while standing in a half deserted hallway or playing “Simon Sez” in front of the showcase. Hi-Y and Y-Teens can be fun and enjoy¬ able. They serve as a means of getting to meet more students and form more friend¬ ships. 86 .. .

ONE FORTY-FIVE ... 87 Bridging the Gap and Crossing the Bridge A new Freshmen and Senior class also means new class officers. Early in the year, elections were held for the classes of 1986 and 1983. Finally at a general assembly Student Council officers, Roger Garcia and Joe Blaney swear in the newly elected students. k Discussing plans for Homecoming, Student Council Sec. Tres. Jill Kozak and Senior Class Sec. Tres. Leslie Dernulc spend time after a general assembly to devote to the upcoming event. Addressing the entire assembly. Junior Class VP Dave Smolen expresses his opinion concerning the proposed Peer Patrol and what he felt were the proposed cons of such an idea. The Student Council is, to say the least, a multi-faceted organization. In addition to managing student activities, it also bridges the gap between students and administra¬ tion. Student Council is composed of represen¬ tatives selected in each homeroom. These act in coordination under the guidance of their respective class officers. The class officers, in turn, are accountable to the Student Council officers. Each class is allowed three class offi¬ cers. The Student Council Secretary, Vice President, and Treasurer are elected by the Senior class. The President of Student Coun¬ cil is elected by the entire student body. Aside from various smaller activities and dances, Student Council sponsors three ma¬ jor functions. The first of these is Homecom¬ ing. It organizes Spirit Week, the parade, pep rallies, and plans for the dance. Planning be¬ gins the previous year and carries over the summer and through to Homecoming. The two other activities are both civic- minded. The first is the Red Cross Blood Drive which has been a smashing success with the help of Student Council. The second is participation in the American Cancer Soci¬ ety’s Daffodil Days. Noll students can be found in various locations through out the region during the drive to stop cancer. In short, the Student Council is an organi¬ zation geared not only to the Noll community, but also to the surrounding communities of which Noll is a part. 88...

It keeps the Noll com¬ munity up to date on school happenings. As well as its serious side, which is reporting the Noll news, the Joumoll gives potential writ¬ ers a chance to express themselves through creative writing both fiction and non-fiction articles. Under the direction of Mr. Emery Mehok, advisor, and editor Joe Blaney the Joumoll is published tri-monthly, and heartily wel¬ comed by eagerly waiting 7th hour classes in which it is delivered. Much time is spent preparing each paper and making it appealing to the student body. Throughout the year special issues are pub¬ lished. These editions, such as the Valentines Day one, are published to give the Noll com¬ munity a chance to personalize their paper. Another special edition is the Senior paper, where students will all sorts of personal traits and gifts to lucky underclassmen. Next time you need to know who, what, where, when, why and how it’s happening at Noll, turn to the Joumoll, the only source you need for a unique inside look at the Noll experience. 90 .. . JOURNOLL Knowing that everyone is awaiting the Senior issue, Cheech Hruskocy and Joe Algozine distribute the Joumoll at the 1983 Senior Banquet in May. A common sight when the Joumoll is passed out, classes would stop and teachers would allow students time reading through the paper. Much For So Long! to—“One . . . Just One.” With this new Caring So It began early in the summer of 1982. Two innocent students not knowing what they were getting into, boarded a bus at the Ham¬ mond Greyhound Terminal and headed for Muncie, Indiana. It was there at BSU that an ordeal which was to last for over a year, began! Carla Bochenek and Dave Jackson were put under the care of Judi Coolidge, a yearbook advisor from Avon Lake, Ohio. Judi showed them the rights and the wrongs, the do’s and don’ts. She assigned work and even more work. The first assignment? Come up with 60 theme possibilities. 60?! That was crazy, but she meant business. And so after wracking their brains a list was completed and after narrowing it down a theme was decided— “One Word Says It All.” Upon returning home a massive scrub down and a clean out of the old Marquette office was undertaken by the two new editors and a new office was the result. Time flew by and time flew by. Pictures came in. Plans were made, features decided upon, features written, and adjustments made. One cold day in January something happened, a brighter idea, a minor change, just a little simpler. The theme was changed Marquette Staff: Front; Angela Miceli, Bob Bleza, Marianne Juscik, Ron Seth, Second; Carla Bochenek, Mr. T.J.

Working on a special assignment, yearbook photographer Bemie Korczyk gets set to photograph Peggy Halfman using her mirrored sunglasses to reflect the fieldhouse crowd and the basketball action. theme more could be discussed than just words—there were people, games, and mo¬ ments to remember, not just words. So the work continued. It was a small staff working everyday after school, arranging group photos, sorting class portraits, design¬ ing color layouts and so much more. Every square pica on every page was considered. Not one tiny detail was overlooked. By the skin of their teeth, the yearbook staff worked and completed the first 32 pages plus 8 more dividers were sent in for the first deadline. On time. It would be the last deadline they would ever meet. Working with such a small group and only on extra time after school made completing the book on time a case for Fantasy Island. Realizing that time was slipping away, the care was never decreased and every piece of copy, caption, and layout was handled with extreme care. Features were written and panels worked out, copy typed, and finals drawn. Slowly but surely the book began to take shape. It only could have been possible with the help of some very important key individuals. They were: George Kingsley, Jr., our Herff Jones representative, Mr. T.J. Golden, Miss Mary Ann Necastro, our patient advisors, Nick Tiemersma, an undoubtedly creative and reliable individual, Debbie and Marianne Juscik two people who put their hearts and souls into the most tedious of jobs and Bemie Korczyk, who was responsible for a good per¬ centage of the over 4000 photographs taken this year. Small but mighty the staff worked day in and day out to get the work done. There were others as well, but the list could go on forever. One last savior, who came through when there was almost no hope, was Coach Ed Hreha. He was quiet, but he sure was helpful. It would be impossible to ever return the fa¬ vors, no price could ever come close. The 1983 Marquette is a book that will set precedents for Bishop Noll. It is like no other and there will never be another one like it because one word just couldn’t have said it all. Working into September of 1983, the staff put everything they had into the book. The result is a record of a memorable year that could never be repeated in a million years. 92 . . . MARQUETTE Practice For Perfection There is more to being a Pom than meets the eye. All Pom Guard members must go through tryouts. That in itself is hard work. One must learn how to march and twirl a flag or rifle in a matter of days. The girls are chosen mainly on their attitudes. It is impor¬ tant that the girls act as a unit enabling them to work well together. Many girls try out but only fifteen make it. Once they have been selected, the hard work begins. There are two camps they must attend. The first is to learn several routines and to build talent. The second is with the band, where they begin to learn the football show. There are many hours of hard work put into those few minutes of entertainment performed at halftime. It takes a long time to learn the positions, marching, and routines. Last fall, the show was completed during the first weeks of school. It was tough on the girls academically because of the long hours put in after school, but the practice was well worth it. They placed high in many competitions, including fourth in a Chesterton Competition and third in Music Bowl in their class. The girls play a double role; they not only march, but they also dance. Captain Candy Trotman did an excellent job in choregraph¬ ing the dances performed at the basketball games. The routines ranged from leather jackets and sunglasses in “Everybody Wants You,” to “Goody Two Shoes.” They re¬ ceived a first place in the state with their routine to “Don’t Fight It” and went to Cali¬ fornia to compete Nationally. The trip was tiring but exciting; an experience for all the girls to remember. They placed well under the circumstances. So when you look at a Pom Guard remem¬ ber that she has gone through tryouts, two camps, and many hours of practice to polish her short performance. Adding a variation to their traditional uniforms, Arlene Nowak and Tina Simmons perform to “Everybody Wants You” while wearing dark sunglasses and leather jackets.

The popular James Bond tune pretty much summed up the year for the band, both on and off the football field. The band took on a “new look” both in the form of brand new uniforms and brand new members. Forty freshman, making up nearly half the band, joined this past year, so there was much rearranging and readjusting to do. After going through intense practices bot¬ tles of salt tablets, and gallons of kool-aid under the August sun at Band Camp, the members still had rehearsals throughout the fall term of the school year. It wasn’t unusual to start practice after school and go until 8 o’clock at night. The highlight of the marching season was Music Bowl III where the band placed 3rd in their division, went to the finals competition, and ended up in 9th place overall out of 36 bands. In addition to this, the band went to the Chesterton Fall Competition and placed 4th in class A and 5th overall. But with the thrill of victory also came the agony of defeat. They just missed getting 1st place rating at the District Marching Contest which could have enabled them to go down state, but they did win the outstanding percussion award. They also came in 2nd place overall at the Franklin Park competition, missing 1st place by just a few points. In addition to these numerous contests, the band also marched at a Bear’s game for the first time. Marching season merged into the concert season without a let-up on rehearsals. The concert season climaxed in February with “The State of the Art” contest. There the Concert band came in 5th place overall and the Symphonic Band placed 2nd, falling only to Marion Catholic. As a finale to the best year the band had a special guest performance at the spring con¬ cert by Ed Shaughnessy the famed drummer for the Tonight show band. All in all it was a very productive and suc¬ cessful year; just look at the trophy cabinet and you’ll see the fruits of labor and dedica¬ tion. The marching Warriors worked hard and proved to many people that they aren’t going to take a back seat to anyone. With all the new faces on the band this past year the future looks very bright and holds much promise. Hopefully, with the continued sup¬ port of the students and faculty of the school, the motto “Nobody does it better” will re¬ main for a long time to come.

The Nouvelle Singers consist of Freshmen and Sophomores interested in learning the fundamentals of music such as, notation, ear training, and sight reading music. This group also traveled and performed in l.S.M.A. at Portage High School, where they received a well earned Second Place in their division. This group performs twice a year, at the Christmas and Spring Concerts. The Swing Choir is composed of members selected carefully from both Concert Choir and The Nouvelle Singers. They perform a mere popular repertoire with instrumental accompaniment. They perform at the Jazz Concert held every year.

Jazz Band A set the tone for this musical extravaganza with the medley “A Salute to Chuck Mangione,” which include solos by Karin Saliga on flute, and Mike Claar on sax. The Alumni Jazz Combo treated everyone with their very professional renditions of three medleys “Tenor Madness,” “Just Friends,” and “Confirmation.” In Contrast to the instrumental sound, the Swing Choir appeared in new outfits per¬ forming various Broadway melodies. They concluded with a medley from George M. including such stirring numbers “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” and “Give My Regards To Broadway.” The next section of the concert featured Jazz Band B. They “mellowed out” with tunes such as “A Child is Born,” and “Truly” featuring Mario Camacho and Jennifer Pat- lyek on trumpet. Jazz Band A reappeared and brought the concert to a rousing, exciting finale, with Count Basie’s “April in Paris,” highlighting Dave James on trombone, and Ted Bur- zynski on trumpet. As well as a great conductor, Mr. Michael Madonia teams up with Mike Claar and shows off his talent as a fine coronet player at the Jazz Concert.

MATH CLUB The Mathway to Success Mathematics is the first step towards suc¬ cess, and mathematics is the gateway to suc¬ cess—these two phrases served as themes for the two major events held by the Sopho¬ more Math Club each and every year. This was the 21st year for the Eighth Grade Invitational Math Tournament and the 14th year for the Math Symposium. The math tournament drew more than three hundred eighth graders from various parochial schools in the diocese of Gary and neighboring Illinois. On that beautiful Satur¬ day in February, the students began filling in the school cafeteria as anxious members of the Sophomore Math Club began getting things ready and set up for the day. Tables had to be arranged, flags put up. chairs arranged, banners hung, programs sta¬ pled, pencils sharpened, refreshments un¬ loaded and tests checked and rechecked. The planning had started three months in advance, even before Christmas vacation. Committees were elected, letters sent out, names received, teams formed and so forth. Not one minute detail was left uncovered. Club sponser, Mr. Cesar Queyquep is very diligent and prompt about details. He man¬ ages to keep the sanity running throughout the months and on that day, along wit h the help of the officer team. This year’s president was Deneen Costa. The vice-president was Mike Luban. The sec¬ retary was Anita Gonzaliz and the treasurer was Nick Furiak. Once the students were seated and the opening remarks given, the tests were ex¬ plained and contestants began to work on them. All of the pre planning was working and so were the 300 eighth graders. By 5:00 p.m. the tests would be done, graded and the results finalized. Fr. Connolly arrived and presented the awards to all the winners. When they weren’t working on events, the Math Club spent time learning new skills and attempting challenging problems. All in all, a tremendous learning experience was gained from their work and meetings. It gave each and every member a sense of accomplish¬ ment as they followed the mathway to suc¬ cess.

For Ms. Wiecinski, her new position as coach for the Speech and Debate team was not quite that way. Having helped out previously and already being familiar with the events and students, Ms. Wiecinski adjusted rather quickly to the new position. With the debate season well underway, she discovered that the one mem¬ ber involved in Lincoln Douglas debate had great potential that had been building up for a while. At state competition, John Kartje took a big risk and chose to argue the con side of a debate and it paid off—he won first place and qualified himself to participate in National competition. This was certainly a big honor for John and the team, although nationals weren’t until June. Meanwhile, the speech season contin¬ ued on and many members were busy pre¬ paring for various meets in the Region. The different categories of Speech were: Boys’ and Girls’ Extemporaneous, Poetry, Humorous Interpretation, Dramatic Interpre¬ tation, Duet Interpretation, Oratorical Inter¬ pretation, Impromptu, Discussion, Original Oratory, and Radio. Each of the various events teaches mem¬ bers about speaking understandably, proper¬ ly, creatively, and entertainingly.

Allies Within the Bishop Noll community exists two groups that go virtually unnoticed. These two groups work behind the scenes providing invaluable service to students and faculty. The first of these groups is Academic Aides. This is a new organization designed to provide tutoring in any subjects requested. Prior to this year, there was no structured program where students could receive assis¬ tance in trouble courses from fellow students upon request. Sometimes a student will need more time than a teacher is able to give, that is where Academic Aides come in. Students now have nothing to worry about when they are in need of individual attention. The second of these groups of students is devoted to helping out the staffs of the var¬ ious offices. Student Office Aides occupy the Attendance Office, Main Office, Bus Office, Library, Audio-Visual, Student Services, and School Nurse. The Aides run errands that would keep the staffs out of their offices during valuable stretches of time. These offices could not function without those students who take care and help out. In many respects, these service organiza¬ tions accent the community atmosphere pre¬ sent at Noll day after day, year after year. It is a selfless service done with a full commit¬ ment. Working in the Attendance office involves running numerous errands to different parts of the building. Coach Vlasic searches in the auditorium for a senior whose presence is requested in the office.

ONE FORTY-FIVE ... 107 Achieving The Best Two honors which arc recognized each year at BNI are Quill and Scroll and National Merit Scholarship. To be in Quill and Scroll a few requirements have to be met. Among them are: 1. The students have to be in the upper one third of their junior or senior class; and 2. They have to potential in writing on one of the school publications. The advisor of either the yearbook or newspaper, with con¬ sultation of the rest of the faculty, send the names in to Quill and Scroll at the University of Iowa. Those honored students are Seniors Robert Bleza, Carla Bochenek, Kathy Ceper- ich, David Jackson, Stephanie Ruder, and Ronald Seth, and Juniors Obrad Kesic and Angela M. Miceli. NMS is a different type of honor. This award is given to students who have scored highly on their PSAT tests. This recognition is given in either of two ways one is scholarship and the other is by recognition. Those who received this award are Rich Austgen, Dave Jackson, and Cathy Pullen. The winners of the National Achievement Scholarship Award are Paula Hagler and Larcinia Turn¬ er.

The N-V’s (or Noll Varsity Club) assume certain respon¬ sibilities at various functions sponsored by the school as a way of showing their apprecia¬ tion for having earned their letter. In this way, they encourage and give a good exam¬ ple to other students proving that they can work and play and still be achievers. The one requirement of the club is that each member must serve on the Parking Lot Patrol. This year an AM Patrol was reinstitut¬ ed and helped alleviate the problems in the Parking Lot. Varsity Club participated in crowd control at the Pep Rallies and Homecoming and Spir¬ it Week activities. Working at the Emporium proved to be fun as well as helpful. Students assisted the coaches by controlling the crowds, keeping ‘stats’ and even video-tap¬ ing some of the girls’ basketball and volley¬ ball games. You could even find these “strange rang¬ ers” at the open house and parent walk- around. There are many new endeavors planned for the future and as the group continues to grow, there may be even bigger and better challenges. ONE FORTY-FIVE ...

NHS NBHS Playing an Presenting a medal, Fr. Connolly awards senior John Kartje a medal to show his achievements at Bishop Noll in academics and extra curricular activities. With a handshake and a grin, junior Monica Carrillo happily accepts her membership into the National Business Honor Society. Honorable To many students, the epitome of their high school years is being admitted into one of two very special organizations during Junior and Senior year. These two organizations recognize participation and academic excel¬ lence. They are National Honor Society and National Business Honor Society. Members of the National Honor Society are chosen from the upper one-third of the Junior and Senior classes. To be a member of this organization entails much more than an honorary title. It is the most active of the various honorary organizations. The mem¬ bers get together and plan fundraisers and sponsor activities which are for the good of the entire school. This year’s major endeavor was the Battle of the Bands. Previously it had been spon¬ sored by the Student Council but this year it was headed by the NHS with a much differ¬ ent product as the result. The major variation was held in the fieldhouse rather than in the cafeteria (more on this can be found on pages 14 and 15). Membership in the NHS is an involved pro¬ cess. At the end of the first semester all Ju¬ niors and Seniors who are not yet members Role and have a B average or higher are placed on a list. Every faculty member is asked to ap¬ prove, strongly approve, or disapprove of the students listed. Once the results are in, a panel of faculty members which includes the NHS sponsor, Mrs. Langedyk, meet to decide on the enrol- lees. Letters are sent to parents to notify and inform them about their son’s or daughter’s honor. Induction takes place at the Annual Awards Night held in March (see pages 30 and 31). Another honorary organization is the Na¬ tional Business Honor Society. It is only open to Juniors and Seniors. To be considered for this society, candidates must first excel in at least one business course. Candidate’s names are submitted by their class teachers. The names are then voted on by all teachers sub¬ mitting names. The members are admitted at the same ceremony as members of the Na¬ tional Honor Society. The honorary societies at Noll play an im¬ portant role in recognizing the outstanding students in the community. It is not the goal of every student inducted to be inducted; rather it is a consolation for their hard work and outstanding commitments.

Owe Too Many Teachers lecture, assign materials to read, problems to solve, essays to write, or questions to answer as if theirs was the only class on our schedule. Of course, this is not true at all. Most of us have six classes, some have five, and a few even have seven. We never seem to get caught up or work ahead. There are always one too many homework assignments, one too many research papers to write, or one too many songs to rehearse. Despite this, we find ourselves with not enough time between classes, not enough time to finish a test, not enough time to eat our lunch, and not even enough time to go to sleep at night. In order for a student to major in science, math, and foreign language, it is necessary to go to summer school just to fit it all in. It is a journey, nonetheless, from the history of the early Church to the fall of the Roman Empire, from the Pythagorean Theorem to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It is an odyssey to ancient Greece and a trip down the Mississippi River. It covers everything from cellular division to the photoelectric effect, from Wilson’s League of Nations to Sherman’s Anti-trust. With one too many laws to remember, dates to keep straight, and constants to memorize, it all adds up to one thing. Challenge! A challenge to learn. A challenge to walk away from Noll after four years, prepared for anything and everything, knowing that we know how to handle one too many. 114 . . . ACADEMICS Any free time is useful. Tim Frystak uses some of his spare time during class to read one of his issignments. Photo by Bernie Korczyk. False Sense of INSECURITY It began during the spring of the previous year. Decisions had to be made, rules fol¬ lowed and requirements fulfilled. Choosing classes was a task which took some time to hammer out the “ifs” and “if nots.” Beginning as Freshmen, it was an entirely new experience to get used to. Never before were those students able to choose which classes that they wanted. The decision as Freshmen were important since they could practically determine the scheduling for the following three years, as well. The first concern is always the required courses. Four years of English and Religion; one year of Math, Biology, World History, and U.S. History; one semester of Speech and Health and Safety; and one semester of Government with a “required elective” of Economics, Psychology, or Sociology make up the list of required courses. Each year more requirements seem to be added, with World History just last year and beginning next year two years of math and two years of science will be required. Yet this is something which 90% of the student body fulfill anyway. A background of classes related to the field that one plans to pursue in college is very important, yet some students have a “false sense of insecurity” when choosing their classes because they feel that it will make or break whether they will do well in college or not. In all actuality, there can be no wrong deci¬ sion. Classes serve many purposes: to fulfill requirements, to enrich students, to prepare students for college or a career. Whether it be Religion 3, Speech, or Latin 2 the common denominator is learning. If something was gained from the course then it was no waste of time. Choosing classes can be a nervous task, but taking them is more important. Whether it be college prep or remedial, required or elective, performance is most important, not choice. 116 .. . COLLEGE PREP REQUIRED COURSES ONE TOO MANY ...117 118 LAB SCIENCES Hated By Many , Loved By Few Lab sciences—two words which describe the courses in one of the most feared depart¬ ments in school. Not only does it involve lab, but lecture, as well, and plenty of it. The Science department devotes a great deal of time to lab and lecture. Of the seven hours spent each week in the class, four are devot¬ ed to lab time and three are devoted to lec¬ ture, whether it be Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Working on one’s own in the lab can be a frightening experience, usually students work in pairs or as a group. Yet, regardless of how the arrangements are, being lost and confused is no pleasant experience. To pick up a metal container with a label that reads: Danger! Poison! Contents flam¬ mable! Flash point 80° F., and then read in the lab manual to mix it with another crazy solution could scare just about anyone. This is the wrong time to be reminded that you are human and can make a mistake. To walk into the lab and sit at an assigned table only to find a mass of entangled wires and an electronic device with a threatening label on it is no trivial matter. Questions begin to arise which cloud the memory and only serve to confuse even more. Is it positive to positive, negative to negative, or positive to negative, and negative to positive? Oppo¬ sites attract, but what about now? Understanding and comprehension are the key to learning the lab sciences—memoriza¬ tion is not enough. Exams are another part of the course which bring terror into the minds of students everywhere. An average question would not ask: “What happens when?” In¬ stead, a question would ask: “What would happen if?” The lab sciences are not easy and not for everyone. Hated by many, loved by few, they have a unique way of teaching students many important things without them ever re¬ alizing it until the lab experiments are over, the messes cleaned up, and the exams all finished. Food! All Day Long From 7:45 a.m. until 1:45 p.m. no one can go from class to class, hour after hour, with¬ out craving food. Granted, lunch period is included within that time span, early for Freshmen and late for Juniors, but 25 min¬ utes is not a long enough time and only a small portion of the day. For those who skip breakfast first hour may become uneasy to handle as their stom¬ ach begins to tell tales of what it did not receive that morning and to make a request that it be satisfied soon or the requests just get louder and last a little longer. On some days a hungry student may spot a girl who is celebrating a birthday. It is obvious because of the ribbons of candy hanging from her lapels. If spotted, the sight drives the salivary glands into high gear and high hopes are set. The goal is to get a share of the treasure that is wandering down the hall. Even if it is a total stranger, what better way to introduce yourself than by mooching some candy. That may not always happen though, so some students have an emergency supply of snacks held in their lockers. Whatever it may be, it was purchased before school and there if it is needed. Lunch time usually arrives, for some it is too soon and for others it is too late. Yet, regardless of the time, some students do not like to eat then or do not have the time be¬ cause of a homework assignment which needs to be completed, or a teacher or coun¬ selor that needs to be seen during the free time. After missing lunch, survival is crucial. Any food is a pleasant sight. Often an un¬ eaten sandwich left in a locker is the only source of satisfaction and is downed between classes out of sight from any faculty member. Some students are just pre-occupied with food, others just run into problems on certain days when breakfast is missed because of lack of time. All through the day, people can be seen not only in the cafeteria, but in the last row of a classroom or at a locker, quickly downing a half sandwich or piece of candy just because the urge is there and the hunger needs to be satisfied. 120 ... FOOD! A common sight seen by practically every one of the fifteen hundred hungry students each day, the snack bar was always ready with plenty of Hostess cakes, home¬ made donuts, popcorn, and yogurt. Before his choral class begins Calvin Houston hur¬ ries down a banana for a quick snack to satisfy his hun¬ ger. Man can not live on bread alone; water is an essen¬ tial ingredient to the diet, as well. Walking from class to class does cause one’s thirst to need quenching—the answer, a quick stop at one of the drinking fountains located all over the school. Something small. . . yet, somethingI Lisa Babincsak enjoys a lollipop during her English class. Even though it was not anything substantial in the line of food, the flavor was enough to keep her taste buds occupied for a short ONE TOO MANY ...121 No one really knew what was going to happen that day. After assembling in the auditorium the students were treated to a show put on by other high school students from St. Joseph’s High School in New York. The performance gave everyone a better idea of how similar and different students from other parts of the country are. Making a presentation to Mr. Luketic’s second semes¬ ter Economics class on Capitalism, a student from Calu¬ met College participates in a program called S.E.L.F. (Students Economic Leadership Forum). The program was set up to provide college students the chance to learn speech skills and leadership skills by making these presentations to various groups. The program was spon¬ sored by Dow Chemical, Amway, and Whirlpool. From day to day, lecture to lecture, an “average” week consists of nothing special. No movies to see, speeches to give, speakers to hear, assemblies to go to, or major exams to contend with. Every student has, at one time or another, asked: “When are we going to do something interesting?” This question may come as an insult to some teachers yet it reflects a feeling that m ost get when each class seems to pick up where the last one ended and not stop until 45 minutes have passed. Lectures can be interesting but not always are. Something ex¬ tra must be added—not too often, but often enough to break the monotony. If a big assembly is planned well in ad¬ vance and teachers are informed, then it usu¬ ally is no big surprise. Even if only a few teachers let their classes know about it ahead of time, by the end of the day the entire school will know that something is coming up. It can never be a secret. The most interesting times are when there is no forewarning, no indication ahead of time. Students arrive at class, the bell rings, everyone is seated, and the teacher says: “Leave your books here, girls take your purses, and meet down in the auditorium. Our class is as signed to rows ...” Sighs of relief are heard all over and some¬ one can be heard quietly exclaimir.g “Thank, God!” as all possibility for a pop quiz or bor¬ ing lecture have been eliminated. A Donald Duck movie about mathematics, a presentation on computers, an informative assembly about the blood drive, class ring orders, or graduation announcements, a film version of a novel currently being read, a performance by the school band, or by an¬ other school’s students, are just a few exam¬ ples. If the presentation is interesting, then the audience will listen attentively and take it all in. But if the presentation does not go over very well, then some students will quickly begin to talk and joke among themselves, possibly causing problems and embarrassing faculty members. Yet regardless of the “entertainment” stu¬ dents will settle for just about anything. The break from the daily norm is enough to make them happy. The things which occur during the school day and break the monotony are often the biggest events for the year. Sometimes forgotten, breaks in the mono¬ tony are usually big enough to be the topic of conversation for at least a day or two. 122 . . . BREAKING THE MONOTONY Speaking to an individual class. Staff Sergeant Knaus of the Hammond Recruiting Service and George Peck, a 1982 Noll graduate, explain the facts and figures, and relate some of their own stories about life in the Marines. Entering the service is an option for some students. Another presentation that broke the monotony of the day seen by some students was a lecture on computers today and how they have changed and are changing. It provided some insight to the possible career field of computers. ONE TOO MANY ...123 Serving as a representative from her home¬ room, Anne Drozd picks up the report cards for her class during seventh hour when they were distributed to the student body. Carefully reviewing her report card, Shari Lynn Adamczyk sits quietly in her homeroom after seventh hour dismissal and ponders what it all means. Judgment Day Working, studying, partying, and some¬ times sleeping all quarter long—it all leads up to one day when the results will show. How hard you worked, how much you stud¬ ied, how many times you partied—all of this is converted to a simple letter which appears on a simple sheet of paper. The letter can make or break your day, your weekend, or your whole next quarter. Every teacher keeps tabs and is required to turn in reports at the end of each quarter. Included in the report are assignment grades, test grades, conduct, and class participation. At each semester, the two quarter grades are figured in with the final exam grade and a semester grade is figured. This is the letter which makes its way onto the final transcript and remains forever. Each quarter is 40% of the grade and the test is worth 20% of the grade. Also turned in with the grade is an “S” or a “U” from each teacher for each of their stu¬ dents. It is the device used to show their ap¬ proval or diapproval of a student’s perfor¬ mance. A “C” from one teacher might not How hard you worked, how much you studied, how many times you par- tied— all of this is converted to a simple letter which appears on a simple sheet of paper. necessarily merit a “Satisfactory” whereas, a “D” could merit it. It depends on the teach¬ er’s observation of a student’s performance versus potential. Once received, the reports are tabulated and sent to Lockport, Illinois where a giant computer chews them up and spits them out on little sheets of paper that most of us, espe¬ cially parents, understand. When the report cards are distributed on Judgment Day unique things happen. Teach¬ ers are asked to send a representative to the Main Office to pick up their students’ re¬ ports. On the way back, the representatives can be seen taking a peek at each one of the pieces of paper in the stack. Not one can resist the temptation or lower their curiosity. Shouts of joy, screams of delight, groans of disappointment, and sometimes fear can be heard and seen in the faces of students every¬ where as the thought of taking them home is realized. One look can blow the past nine weeks or one look can make it all seem worth¬ while. Good or bad, it is a ritual, nonetheless, happening four times a year. ONE TOO MANY ...125 With so many different things on their minds stu¬ dents concern themselves with a number one priority— getting to and from class and making it on time so as to avoid a detention. Some areas of school are sparsely populated dur¬ ing passing periods, yet other areas become so crowded that many students wonder if they will sometimes make The Day Goes On and On Buzzzzz! The most dreaded sound heard by teachers and students alike, not a tornado drill or fire drill, but the morning alarm. It is time to wake up and get up, not necessarily in that order, and prepare for the day ahead. Those who are morning birds have no problem at this point and can breeze through the morning rituals with a cheery attitude. The rest of the people who are considered night owls curse the alarm and grumble at the toaster as their bodies try to get used to the movements. The big concern, once awake, is how to get to school. Buses, cars, vans, bicycles, and motorcycles all serve as means to arriving at 1519 Hoffman before 7:45 a.m. It is a task that involves overcoming innumerable obsta¬ cles such as trains, traffic and detours. In the “Region” it seems that if the bridges aren’t out then the gates are down and vice versa. Finally, the arrival. A quick check of the watch determines how much time is still left. It is 7:42, only three minutes left to run up to the third floor locker and put away the books from last night and get the ones for first, and maybe second hour. After sitting down in homeroom, with only seconds to spare, the head may plop down on the stack of books and dream of the pillow that lies at home unused at this point in time. First hour begins . . . and ends, usually not that fast. It is time to move on to the next class. The trip may be a quick jog down the hall or a long haul to the other end of the school. Sometimes the legs feel as though they don’t like being between you and the floor, and would rather just give up trying to do any hard work. Yet, one way or another we manage to carry ourselves from one class to the next. Those five minute passing periods are a break in the classes but sometimes they are just as hard to deal with as boring lectures. There can be no motivation in going from one lecture to the next or from a quiz to a major exam. Seventh hour is always the Mt. Everest of the school day. Once conquered, students realize that the next destination is practice or home. They aren’t always looked forward to but home can mean some rest and relaxation. It is the place to be lazy, and even after a long day of class after class with all the obstacles overcome one would think one would be too worn out, but knowing that home is the next destination, getting there is no problem what¬ soever. The pillow that went unused all day long is definitely the most welcome sight of the day. 126 .. . GETTING THERE Depending on where you are coming from and where you are going to a stairway is almost always needed. With six sets of stairs throughout A and B build¬ ings it would seem that there would never be a problem, but that obviously is not the case as these students crowd towards the stairs at the south end of B building. Getting there In the morning and leaving in the after¬ noon can be the start and finish of a “rat race.” Here, two members of the Math Department, Mr. Queyquep and Miss Hepner, are seen leaving school after a long day in the middle of winter. On her way to Biology, Sue Sweeney hurries to put away her no longer needed materials and to get out the books and notebooks for her next class in a matter of less than five minutes. 128 . .. HOMEWORK HOMEWORK! HOMEWORK! Going to school is often paralleled to hav¬ ing a full time job. Yet, what many people fail to realize is that it is much more. It involves more than the 9 to 5 (or 8 to 2) routine. After working, the average person goes home, relaxes, eats dinner, works on a hob¬ by, watches television, listens to the stereo, or whatever they want. But, after going to school, the average student goes home and does not have enough time to relax, has to gobble down dinner, and then has to begin to work on homework. Homework! A word so disgusting that it takes two four-letter words to say it all. It would not be so bad if there was only one assignment each night, but that never hap¬ pens. Most teachers give homework very fre¬ quently and the others that do not assign work still expect a lot of outside class time to be spent on studying. With all of these expectations students feel under pressure to get the work done and will try to find any possible free time to devote to study. Lunch periods, study halls, before school, after school, in the lobby, on the bus, and in cars, anytime and anywhere that studying can be done—it is. If teachers are not enough to worry about, what about parents? Parents expect their sons and daughters to study every night and do their best and to get the highest grades possible. They also like for their sons and daughters to get a good night’s sleep every night. The bare fact is that good grades and a good night’s sleep do not go together. Students have to deal with schoolwork and homework; whereas, the average white col¬ lar and blue collar worker only works at work and no where else. Besides that, they get paid for their work and students have to pay, in a sense, to be assigned their work. It is illogical but it is the way things have always been. Homework is a common, everyday ob¬ stacle which, no matter how much one com¬ plains, will always be around.

It’s spirit, it’s emotion, it ' s atmosphere, it ' s success, it ' s defeat, it’s consolation, it’s celebration . . . it’s us! We are Bishop Noll Institute; a group so unique, so unequaled, that others readily identify true Warriors displaying their pride and spirit and doing their best to maintain the good name that we carry. It was established sixty years ago and no one can take it away. It is not in the “blood and guts” of BNI to let our strong reputation falter. It is not perfect but it is strong. It has support, it has potential, it has us. Imitation is the best flattery. In many respects, other people follow us. We are always the leaders, always the trend setters. At Noll, students want to be here and want to be included. No one is an outcast unless they cast themselves out. Wearing a Bishop Noll uniform, no matter what type, attending a dance, getting involved in a club, striving for excellence in the classroom—these are all ways in which we demonstrate how we are true blue and gold plated, how we are Noll and no one else. 130 . . .

Far from Elite Administration, what comes to mind when you hear the word? Some have an image of a large group of executives gathered around an enormous oval table in a smokefilled room. They picture these men as stern, greedy, self-centered individuals. At Noll the reality of the administration is substantially different. It is far from elite. The administration is composed of three, highly efficient leaders. The principal admin¬ istrator is Rev. Patrick J. Connolly, a fifteen- year veteran of Bishop Noll. Fr. Connolly helps establish school policy and serves as “chief executive officer” making decisions on important school matters. Of the three he is the least seen by the student body, in fact some students never really know who he is when they finally meet him. At the assistant principal positions are Mr. James L. St. Amour, a twenty-year veteran and Rev. Edward J. Moszur, an eleven-year veteran. Mr. St. Amour serves as dean of academics and works extensively on stu¬ dents’ and teachers’ schedules, as well as, statistical reports. Fr. Moszur acts as business officer of Noll and is in charge of student discipline and the physical plant. As a trio, the administrative team is without equals. Unlike the stereotype, the Noll administra¬ tion consists of caring, fair, community-cen¬ tered men. They do all that is in their power to create a successful Christian community and maintain it in a disciplined academic at¬ mosphere. Working side by side with the faculty and student body, the administration is made up of three “blood and guts” men. The success from their dedication is not measured in prof¬ its but rather in the number of students who can always say that Noll, and all of the people that go along with it, had a great impact on their four years of high school.

FAR FROM ELITE Taking the time to fully explain himself, Principal Fr. Patrick J. Connolly spends a moment with one of the Freshmen parents who attended the August 29th brunch. The brunch gave the parents of members of the Class of 1986 a chance to meet with and talk to faculty and administrators early in the school year. Distributing the Holy Eucharist, Fr. Moszur places the host into the hands of Mrs. Mary Ellen Smith, Dean of the Girls and Advanced Biology teacher. Expressing his sincere congratulations, Fr. Connol¬ ly presents senior Kathleen Webb with a certificate hon¬ oring her for her service as a Mission Club Homeroom Representative. NO ONE ELSE ... 133 Faculty and Staff The MTAt Fr.

THE I S HAVE IT: Involved A private school, supported by private funds, no government subsidies, no teacher’s union—that is Bishop Noll Institute. The fac¬ ulty and staff here at Noll are not paid a king’s ransom for their job. The fact that so many of the faculty and staff are still here and remain here year after year and so many alumni return to teach at their alma mater is living proof of the devotion and concern these people have towards the Noll Community. With Bachelor’s degrees and Master’s de¬ grees in a variety of areas most members could find better paying jobs elsewhere. Why do they stay? “Basically, the people,” stated school sec¬ retary Mrs. Sredzinski, “It really is a commu¬ nity, most of these people here are not just my coworkers, they are my very close friends. The atmosphere is friendly and con¬ genial. There is warmth, there is oneness, it’s a likable place to be.” As a math teacher at Noll, Mrs. Dorothy Kopanda remarked, “I, personally, teach at Noll because I feel I have an obligation to the Catholic School System. Yes, it would be nice to have a higher paying job and, yes, my family could certainly use the money. I sup¬ pose there are things in life that are, believe it or not, as important and more improtant than money.” Once here, most members, make it a point to go behond the confines of the school day and get involved with the extra-curricular ac¬ tivities by serving as a coach for one of the varsity teams, planning a club activity, or working on the school Fund Drive and Empo¬ rium. The teachers round out the Noll communi¬ ty by being friends, counselors, coaches, and advisers. Their involvement really makes Bishop Noll the likable place that it is. 134 . ..

INTENSE Joyce Romano Intense From early Monday morning to late Friday afternoon, the time of day or day of the week has no bearing—Noll is buzzing with activity. The catalyst to the intensity is so often the faculty and staff. They are an irreplacable influence. Aside from keeping the student body in line, they taught us that “pi” is something other than what Grandmother makes for Thanksgiving dinner. Vanderbilt, we real¬ ized, is not just a brand of designer jeans. The man came to life for us in History. The teach¬ ers and secretaries suffered the sweltering heat and the bitter cold with us. They guided us over the paths of ignorance and opened the doors to new worlds for us. When applying for admission into college, many students find that schools far from the Calumet Region know about Bishop Noll. The intensity of the teaching staff is known by people in higher education and in business and industry, as well. One never knows when the grammar learned in Freshman English will aid them in being chosen above hundreds of applicants for a particular job. We may also find that all of those “useless” formulas and constants have simple applications to everyday life. The faculty is comparable to the old blacksmiths, who have the dirty job of mold¬ ing, bending, shaping, and sometimes beating our minds into useful articles. Our triumphs are their triumphs, just as our failures are their failures. While we put in our time at BNI, we become part of them and they be¬ come part of us, a part which we carry with us forever.

The answer is not hard to find. We here at Bishop Noll are fortunate enough to have one of the finest teaching and secretarial staffs in Northwest¬ ern Indiana. The faculty and staff embodies the charac¬ teristics of dedication, patience, friendliness, and professionalism. Each of these can be found in varying degrees in each and every member of the faculty and staff. Putting up with smart alecs, paper air¬ planes, sleepers, and wastebasketball, and a general feeling of apathy towards the subject matter are only a minute part of their often thankless task. Their jobs vary from keeping track of students’ records to running the Xe¬ rox machine, from heading a department to monitoring detentions afterschool. Everything that they do influences each and every student they come in contact with. There is more to teaching than just facts and figures, it is ideas and values, emotions and reason. Their individuality comes together in such a unique way that Noll becomes some¬ thing special. The concerns of the students are the concerns of the faculty. Striving for a common goal, the faculty and staff are indi¬ viduals who are available to listen, to talk, and to communicate, each in their own spe¬ cial way.

From there, it could only go up hill. Who could forget the first days of high school? Those days of confusion, being lost in the crowd, the vacant stares, the glaring teach¬ ers, will never be forgotten as long as we live. It is a tradition everywhere and for the Bish¬ op Noll Class of 1986 it was no different. One day in August the incoming Freshmen were splashed onto the Noll scene, handed a small piece of paper and told not to lose it. It told them where to find their classes and in what order. It would have been better if they had been given a compass and a map to find their way through the mass of people and hallway mazes. Piles of books, more than most of us have probably read or seen, were located in the cafeteria. The Freshmen were told that they would use them all in one year. High school at BNI would prove interesting. The first official day of classes brought with it that sick feeling of having sailors’ knots tied in one’s stomach. How many unknowing Freshmen hauled their mountain of books to school only to find out t hat lockers were not being issued for a couple of days. Each year there are always a few Fresh¬ men who can not tell the difference between A118 and B118. A couple of poor souls seem to stray into a Senior classroom by mistake and quickly retreat out the door amid cat¬ calls, whistling, and applause. The first week, half of one’s memories of their Freshman year usually happened in the first week. The lesson learned by every stu¬ dent is that it takes only one try to open a locker, usually the eighth one. Once over, sighs of relief could be heard all over and the Freshman class settled down and prepared for the rest of their first year at Noll. Using a box to cany everything, Kelly Keilman dou¬ ble checks to see that she has every book needed to get her Freshman year off to a smooth start. Trying to get oriented, members of the Class of 1986 carefully observe the selection and check their book lists for the books that they will need for the upcoming year. 140 ... THE FIRST WEEK NO ONE ELSE ... 141 Comparing schedules, Judy Biscan and a friend look to see what classes they have and who their teachers will be for the 1982-83 school year. Taking advantage of the extra savings, Me¬ linda Alvarado and Lisa Suarez search for used copies of their needed books in order to avoid paying top dollar for brand new ones.

SAFETY AND PROTECTION Berkowicz Danko I_RMI fc] DIM! frf PARKING PERMIT F] Lrdi XPIRES AUGUST 1, 1983 Not Once, But Twice New fads, new songs, new groups, new movies are part of every year. Something different at Noll were new policies. Parking tickets and padlocks, were not readily ac¬ cepted by the student body. Petitions were started and rumors spread of a boycott. Fi¬ nally, Fr. Connolly came over the P.A. to set the record straight. The new parking stickers were instituted to facilitate the removal of unauthorized cars from the parking lot and to speed up identifi¬ cation of owners in case a problem would arise. The charge was $2.00 which some stu¬ dents felt was a big rip-off. The new padlocks required on all lockers were to crack down on the number of thefts which were on the rise. The reaction from student body was again “a big rip-off.” But the fee of $4.00 was only to cover the actual cost of $3.95 of the lock themselves and no actual profit was realized. Seniors were given an option to buy or rent for $2.00, yet every student had to own a lock. The reasons were for the safety and pro¬ tection of all the students. They were not to be a punishment but more of a means of prevention, not once, but twice. A new addition to every rear window on every vehicle that parked at Noll on a daily basis, the blue and gold parking permit became a common sight. During the extended homeroom period. Coach Tarka distributes locks to his Sophomore homeroom as Leann Gayda patiently waits to turn in her $4.00.

Hair cuts, hair styles, outfits, make-up, ties, and sweaters—all are concerns of stu¬ dents getting ready to get taken, that is, get r eir picture taken. No one has to be told which day it is, since it usually is obvious. In various spots around the school the backs of heads can be seen bobbing up and down, back and forth, crowd¬ ed around any reflectable place with combs and brushes in their hands. Mug shots, so to speak, are taken of under¬ classmen for use as ID pictures, as a perma¬ nent school record, and in the yearbook. A quick pose and a simple snap is all it takes. Group shots take a little bit longer. People have to be arranged, according to height, and instructed exactly where to sit, stand, or kneel. On the count of three, snap, one sixtieth of a second, wait one moment, snap, another sixtieth of a second, and it is all over. The results or proofs are not usually seen until at least a month later. The reaction? Well, ev¬ eryone is their own worst critic, but cameras never lie. Despite this infallibility on the part of the camera, the photographs which result are permanently stored forever. Getting taken has a double meaning. Not only is one’s picture taken but so is their money. Members of the Class of ' 85 look at the various package selections for ordering photos as they sign in to be photographed or “mugged.” Waiting patiently as the Root Photogra¬ pher readies his camera, students hold still so that their group shot will turn out perfectly. The result will be a good looking photo for the 1983 Marquette. NO ONE ELSE ... 145 146 . . .

One of the major problems faced by every new¬ comer to 1519 Hoffman is whether or not they will fit in. What does it take? What are the fads, what kind of music should I like, what should I do on the weekends, should 1 talk to her or to him, should I ask them out? Is there an answer? Bishop Noll goes through trends as the students’ tastes change but no one is ever forced to conform. To be different is just as acceptable as being not so different. Originality and creativity are popular trends. If no one else is doing it, why not us? There are no cliques to fit into at Noll. At most other public schools there usually are, that makes Noll different. With this in mind one should ap¬ proach Noll. An open mind is all it takes. A typical BNI student has formed ideals and opinions and has a respectable reputation in the community at large. Concern about major issues is not uncommon. Rallying for anti-abortion and as¬ sisting the Knights of Columbus raise money for the retarded are two ways in which Noll students have become involved and shown their concern. This has always been true of Bishop Noll. Garza Kaczmarek Learning who has authority is important, Coach Tonkovich gives a freshman a little discipline as George Melchor helps and Joe Banske watches. Checking to make sure it will fit, Dawn Kooistra holds a Class of ' 86 T-shirt to herself and measures it.

NEW LIFE Kalino wski Lynch Walking into BNI for the first time is a frightening experience. Wishing that some¬ one would lead the way and show them what to do and where to go, most Freshmen find they are totally on their own. It is a whole new way of life. Junior high school does not even compare to high school. There are classes to choose, schedules to fol¬ low, fees to pay, passes to have, ID’s to carry, and books to buy. Freshmen year is a crash course in respon¬ sibilities and priorities. Homework is often given in every subject, falling behind makes it very difficult when tests arrive. Cramming is not good for the health. It is up to each and every student. The ability to do well or fall behind rests in them. Making the conversion takes the entire year. Priorities have to be set so as to not spend too much time in sports or on a club activity, and to devote the proper amount of time on stud¬ ies. Failure to adapt does not have immediate drawbacks. The results may not be seen for some time; nonetheless, a great majority of new students have managed to swing it. It is a whole new way of life.

UNCONTROLLABLE URGES Uncontrollable Urges The guidelines have ruled it out and deten¬ tions try to stamp it out but bubble gum is still a common appearance in the mouths of stu¬ dents who have the uncontrollable urge to exercise their jaws and moisten their tongues. While sitting through lectures or concen¬ trating on a test or a lab, one’s jaws become restless, in need of exercise and one’s taste buds become dry, in need of relief. The most common remedy is a piece of gum. Choices are more numerous than the urges, it seems. They range from Wrigley’s Spearmint to Carefree Sugarless, from Hubba Bubba Grape to Bubblicious Tropical Fruit. The style of chewing is also a varying factor. Teachers handle the problem in many dif¬ ferent ways. If the style of chewing is incon¬ spicuous, then a student may get away with it. But if gum is discovered because of a large bubble or loud snap, then a verbal request is usually issued for removal of the gum. Pun¬ ishment for second and third time offenders varies from having to clean all of the desks in the room after school to having to put the gum on one’s nose causing extreme embar- assment. Detentions are even used but are not as much fun. It will never be wiped out completely, it is a constant battle. As long as there are students and as long as there is gum, there will be uncontrollable urges. Forced manual labor, just another form of punish¬ ment given to Peggy Halfman for breaking the rules and chewing gum. Pac-Man?

NO SECRET FORMULA Nester Rys Daniel Prieu Thomas Przybyla Maria Pulido Deborah Ramirez Angela Reyna David Rhodes Joseph Ricciardi Charles Richardson Diana Riddle Manuel Rios Nilda Rivera La Donna Roberts Renee Robertson Brenda Rodriguez No Secret Formula How is it done? What is the cause? The Noll community is just that—a community. Together as one family they do more than attend classes and sporting events. Most im¬ portantly the BNI community celebrates to¬ gether. A special part of each school year is the All-School Mass held in November. It is the one time that all members of the community come together for one mass, held in the field- house because of the number of people at¬ tending. The Bishop, faculty, staff, students, and even parents are on hand for the occa¬ sion. During this year’s mass, Bishop Andrew G. Grutka addressed a very important issue in his homily. The issue—unemployment. The answer—prayer and determination. 1982 was a difficult year for many in the Calumet Region as layoffs were common at all of the local steel mills and other industries related to the steel industry. The Bishop told the student body to pur¬ sue their goals for the future and to work on solving the problems which face us. He em¬ phasized the power of prayer and how it is sometimes taken for granted. No problem is unsolvable and the lack of jobs is no excep¬ tion. There is an answer and it is no secret formula. It is only up to the youth in the Region and in the entire country. In good times and in bad, the BNI community is al¬ ways a family.

According to laws passed in the Indiana Legislature, all high school students must have at least one year of physical education, out of which comes six weeks devoted solely to swimming. The average person can often handle the regular activities of soccer, basketball, gymnastics, calisthen¬ ics, and volleyball. But swimming? Swimming requires a complete submersion of one’s body into a large ce¬ ment box filled with chlorinated water. To swim in the proper manner involves every muscle in the body, to swim improperly requires more. It is common practice every year for a number of students to bring in notes from family doctors or par¬ ents requesting that their patient or child not be re ¬ quired to swim because of a cold, an ear infection, a sprained wrist, a . . . The excuses are limitless, not to mention creative. Some are even legitimate. After the class period ends no more than five min¬ utes are allowed for showering and getting ready to go to one’s next class. This is the time that blow dryers, curling irons, combs, and brushes make their appear¬ ance in locker rooms and washrooms. Having physical education before lunch or last hour is always a blessing for most students as it gives them just a little more time to wash and dry before leaving. This entire rountine has become a ritual for Freshmen that goes on every single day, every single year. Being educated on the physical aspects of life is a rigorous experience. It basically teaches everyone how to sweat, shower, and survive the rest of the day. With only minutes left Freshmen boys rush to get dressed and ready to face the rest of the day and not be late for their next class. Some fortunate students have lunch after their physical education class or have it last hour giving them no reason to hurry. With a strong bump over the net a freshman girl learns the skills needed to play competitively in the game of volleyball. It was just one of the games played and learned about during physical educa- Qulckness, agility, and strength are all skills learned in the game of basketball. Sweaty clothes, tired legs, and sore feet are often the results of this fast moving game. 154 . . .

When an hour of silent writing does not do the trick, two hours of manual labor is substituted as a means of punishment for the students who failed to uphold one of BNI’s unpopular guidelines. Detentions and work detail are two means of punishment used to maintain discipline among the student body. Detentions are sim¬ ply an hour of complete silence and creative writing on a preselected topic. But work de¬ tail is even more unique. It involves the ef¬ forts of the offenders as they come together on a specified day after school each week. This task force works diligently to clean windows, desks, doors, walls, and washrooms throughout the building. Depending on the location of the crew, blockades are put up to actually detour traffic around the area. The scene can often resemble a true-to-life road clean-up crew. Under the strict supervision of Mrs. La- verne Papich, the workers are given plenty to do, without time for loafing. It is designed as means of punishment for one person but it ends up being beneficial to the entire school as rooms are kept clean and windows are kept spotless. If it were given a name, the BNI Department of Halls and Sanitation might be appropriate. The outlook Is much brighter now that workers have d one their job and made the windows shine.

WORK DETAIL Serving as a check-up MV the Sophomores the NEDTV ro- vided a chance to see how they ranked in the nation and.ag each other on a standardized test. Here, Sophomores claim theirr suits and await an explanation ™ No “Dark Horse” Class The thrills and chills of walking into school for the first time were gone, yet, for the Class of ’85 so much seemed so far away that being a sophomore seemed like only a stepping stone to being an upperclassman. The mem¬ bers of the Class of 1985 were still labeled underclassmen, and in itself it did not seem like much. Not to let it get them down, the Sopho¬ mores quickly established a name for them¬ selves by purchasing over 5000 links in the Homecoming Add-a-Link contest, outdoing all three of the other classes. In many respects throughout the rest of the year, the Class of ’85 provided many sur¬ prises for the rest of the school and managed to gain attention when any other sophomore class might not have. Faculty, as well as students, were always surprised to see the traditionally “dark horse” sophomores break tradition. It was far from just another one of the four years in a high school class’ career. The Class of ’85 were not about to wait for becoming upper¬ classmen to enjoy some of the best times in high school. 158 . . .

DEAR GOD IT’S MONDAY! A long, long weekend makes for a long, long Monday morning. All of the excitement of games, meets and practices took up more time than expected, and Dave Newbolds found that sleep was hard to come by. Nothing exciting happened in class on Monday, so Dave decided to catch up on his lost sleep during English. Bowman Elias Dear God, It’s_ Monday! Dear God, I often ask myself, “what did I do to deserve this?” Well, today is one of those days. The reason I ask, Lord, is that it is Monday. 1 just made it through a great weekend. I spent a total of one waking hour at home. It seems like yesterday that I heard, “teachers may now dismiss their students for the day.” I packed enough activity in this weekend to last a month. Yet, it flew by so fast. I do not know what happened to it; nevertheless, it is Monday. Dear God, I know we members of the hu¬ man race have our shortcomings, and we do not always respond to you as we should; but God, is it fair to have created Mondays? Floods, earthquakes, and the like are bad, but they can be dealt with. But you take your typical Monday, and you have got us beat by As I lie here in bed, I ask only one thing. Please let this Monday pass by painlessly. I hope it is not too much to ask. My third hour teacher is always a grouch and my test fifth hour, you know the one I completely forgot about, is the last grade for the quarter. So please Lord, if is not asking too much, because it is Monday, make everyone leave me alone. I would hate to see this great week¬ end turn into a bad Monday.

People who have something worth recognizing. It is not necessarily a special trait that merits an award but some recognition always makes it to where it belongs. Talent—this word says a lot for those who seem to stand out in the crowd. It is a combi¬ nation of personality, skill and devotion. Two members of the Noll community, one a teach¬ er and one a student, received awards for various displays of talent. Mr. Cesar Queyquep was selected as Out¬ standing Teacher of the Year. The selection was done by his peers in conjunction with a program sponsored by Inland Steel. Having taught at Noll for fifteen years, Mr. After enjoying a dinner given by the Inland Steel- Ryerson Foundation, Mr. C.G. Queyquep poses with Rev. Patrick J. Connolly, with them are Mrs. Queyquep and Mr. James L. St. Amour, BNI Assistant Principal. At the dinner Mr. Queyquep was presented the 1983 Out¬ standing Teacher of the Year Award. Queyquep is an instructor of Mathematics and Industrial Design, an adviser for the Sophomore Math Club and the BNI Aca¬ demic Team to the Purdue JETS Academic Tournament. Besides teaching, Mr. Quey¬ quep has displayed his skill of journalism hav¬ ing authored numerous papers including a most recent work, “The Mathematics of Flight,” which was published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The student who received an award for talent was Tim Greer. Tim placed first in contemporary design at the Purdue Universi¬ ty Calumet Art Exhibit. His design interpreta¬ tion reflected the figures of Adam and Eve at the time of the fall from the garden of Eden. Other student winning awards were Dave Newbolds, who took second, and Nancy Ba- litewicz, who received an honorable mention. Standing with the tools of the trade in his hand, Tim Greer displays the artwork which won him a first place at the Purdue University Calumet Art Exhibit and was also named the “best in the show.” Tim plans to attend the Art Institute of Chicago upon graduating in 1984. 162 . .. TALENT Sophomores Goody Two Shoes Don’t drink, don’t smoke, what do you do? How about dance? 1983 was full of new groups and new songs. Radio stations were changing their format: WBBM went from Softrock 96 to B96, Hot Hits; WMET became Rock Radio 951 2; while others were just “switching to Q101.” Regardless of the changes, there seemed to be one song by one artist that had a tre¬ mendous impact on a great number of peo¬ ple. Adam Ant released a song about being a goody two shoe entitled just that: “Goody Two Shoes.” A great number of Noll students liked the song so much that after a number of basket¬ ball games, at dances, and at the Senior Ban¬ quet they could be seen going crazy and dancing as wildly as they could while the fast paced music and “good” lyrics moved them. It was simply a craze. A song which repre¬ sented a way of thinking, a way of life, a song about every kid in America who tried to have a great time.

To take this day and make it a fundraiser for a charity was a special part of 1983. It was a “foolish” idea, so to speak, but it was a lot of fun. A dance was held and gave everyone the opportunity to let loose, have a lot of fun and help a worthy charity in the process. It was the idea of various class officers to raise mon¬ ey for St. Patrick’s Convent in East Chicago. The administration was pleased with the idea and approved it. Committees were formed to handle the various aspects such as: set up, clean up, and refreshments. The irony to the dance, though, was that it was held in March. A “King and Queen Fool Contest” was added to raise money for St. Patrick’s. Each class voted a King and Queen Fool by casting ballots for a penny each. Who ever raised the most money by the Friday before the dance would be named to the Fool Royalty. The top money-raiser in the Senior class was Candy Trotman, but she refused to be at the dance; as a result, the title was given to Colleen Dunne. Senior King was Roger Gar¬ cia. Junior Royalty were Doug Matalik and Lisa Dubeck; Sophomore Royalty were Mike Whelan and S haron Skonie. The winners of the Junior Class are Doug Matalik and Lisa Dubeck. Doug was excited, but Lisa was reluc¬ tant to accept her crown.

BIOLOGY Lowry O’Dea Discovering Ufe The study of living things—plants and animals alike. Each group is divided into subgroups and these subgroups are further divided until only a genus and specie remain. Biology teaches students that every¬ thing that lives has a unique genus and specie. There are thousands of various plants and animals, yet they all are related in one way or another. Discovering how they are related is the common denominator of all biology classes. Starting out with simple one-celled animals and moving up to more com¬ plex animals is a path of discovery. Studying samples from each group, the biologist finds that survival is the key factor in every living thing from arthropods to mammals. The uniqueness of each group is found in the struc¬ ture and function of each individual specie. Besides lectures and reading, biology students utilize lab time in learning about everything from probability to the inside organs of the amphibious frog. Biology explores the world of the unknown as it tries to find answers to the mystery of life. w m a n it •T A 6 a t A w T Daniel Metzcus Scot Michael Leta Minniti Casey Mitchell John Mitchell Debra Monzka Jennifer Moran Robert Moredich Debra Moreno James Moricz Bunne Morris Mary Mosser Brian Muldoon Linda Nelson Deanna Nemeth Steve Nester David Newbolds Darryl Newman Michael Nicolai Thomanisa Noble Kristine Noce NO ONE ELSE ... 169 Sophomores Alicia Olmos Julie O’Mara Terry O’Neill Frank Opolski Roy Oria Adriana Origel Yvette Origel Donna Orloff Peggy O’Rourke Joe Pabon David Padilla Mary Padula Kevin Pajor Peter Palanca Running for Office Something wrong? Something needs to be changed? Something’s right? Something doesn’t need to be changed? What ever the reason may be, students are motivated to run for a class or student council office. Those who have held offices before usually run again, but the first time candidates are the ones whose nerves are tested and courage displayed. Elections are open to any student who wishes to run and meets the qualifications of having a “C” average or better and receives approval from the administration. Once ap¬ proved it becomes time to campaign with buttons and posters and to begin writing a speech for the assembly. Finally the day for assemblies and speech¬ es arrives, candidates are dressed in their best and students fill the auditorium to hear nervous candidates tell about why they are running and what they plan to do. Every year the speeches seem to stir up some controversy or heated debate and usu¬ ally result in a candidate being disqualified. This year was definitely no different. Candi¬ dates are told ahead of time that they are responsible for whatever they say on stage. The speeches are not censored or proofread by anyone in authority. The rules are simple and require candi¬ dates to be accountable for their own words and actions. The only one who can be embar¬ rassed is the candidate themselves.

RING ORDERS Prahovich Smith Order Yours Today! One day a stranger with a camera ap¬ peared in the halls of BNI. No, he wasn’t from Root and no, he wasn’t taking pictures for the newspaper or yearbook. What was he doing and why was he here? At about the same time posters appeared talking about a special limited engagement which was coming soon. “Order Yours To¬ day!” “Order what?” everyone asked. Finally the day arrived when it all came together and made sense. The sophomores were called down to an assembly, and a slide show was presented. In it were all those pic¬ tures that the stranger had taken. The show was given by Josten’s, and was to persuade sophomores to place orders for their class rings. It isn’t a simple process. First you must decide on a number of variations—gold and silver, real or fake, what color stone, what type of cut, select-a-side or traditional en¬ graved initials or engraved autograph. The final factor was price; it would range from $75 to nearly $300, all for a small piece of metal to fit around a finger. A class ring is designed to symbolize four years at Noll and to help you remember them. Looking over a poster for various designs and instruc¬ tions on how to order Dave Newbolds tries to decide which ring he will order. Lining up to place their orders Sophomores talk about what styles they are ordering and how much they are paying for it.

Simple addition or complex logarithms, factorials and greatest common factors, averaging and summations; all of these are different ways of working with numbers. Regardless of difficul¬ ty most students rely on small pocket size computers to help them. They are marvels of today’s technology, from TI-30 to TI-55, from Casio to Hewlett- Packard. They have been around for some time now, but more and more teachers are allowing their use. They are often a crutch because people get used to using them all of the time; they always use them regardless of the difficulty of the problem. Some specialists say that stu¬ dents rely on them too much and it causes them to never actually learn the material. Others feel that it cuts down on errors and increases speed by alleviating the task of working out long division or having to use log tables. The concepts still must be mastered and so too must the owner’s manual. Nevertheless, calculators have made their appearance and are here to stay. They will get smaller and faster but they will always be used. Making good use of their calculators Rich Redding- ton and Bob Dal Santo work on their Pre-Calc homework during a study hall. Just to be sure, Greg Mahoney hurries to check his Chemistry II lab results with a calculator before having to turn them in during the next hour. 174 . . .

No, not a cafeteria, not a principal, nor even a smelly gymnasium. It seems that in every school there is one class that chooses to break the routine and do things differently. The Class of Eighty-four has taken it upon itself to be the school’s non-conformists. At times they felt that they had acquired a somewhat undesirable reputation and all that goes along with it. Such things ranging from vandalism to dearth of school spirit have all been blamed on the junior class. In essence, they felt like the school “scapegoats.” But the Juniors managed to shrug it off and not let it get them down. They were in a class all by themselves, and did not get disturbed by their reputation. It became part of their identity; as much as Stoogefest and a Student Council presidential election with only one candidate running uncontested. It was a unique year for every junior. No longer freshmen or J.V. but now, upperclass and Varsity. No longer wearing brown, but now blue. At last lunch seemed like lunch, rather than breakfast at 9:55. Class rings, driver’s licenses, and Prom bids all became the concerns of many juniors. New frontiers were opened to the juniors. Joining Service Club, being inducted into NHS and or NBHS, and taking college en¬ trance exams were all there for the taking. Besides the new opportunities, classes were a new challenge as they became more difficult. Chemistry, Advanced Algebra- Trig., Algebra II, English III, and U.S. History were the common classes for juniors. It was not “how to write a research paper” but rath¬ er “writing research papers.” It was not just finding answers, but how to find answers. Bad reputations, new frontiers, new chal¬ lenges, and new perspectives all were hall¬ marks of the junior class of eighty-four. Eighty-fortitude was unique and was the key to their success. A van is always helpful. The Class of ’84 displays some of their individuality as they convert the van be¬ longing to Tim Greer into a class float for all the juniors to be proud of. Complete with banners, streamers, and t- shirts it was an addition to the already great spirit that was present on Thursday. 176 .. .

BIRTHDAYS Brato vich Dubeck Anthony Costa Elizabeth Coy Darrin Dedelow Daniel DeFina Nick Dejanovich Laura Delinsky Ferdinand Dimailig John Doherty Jennifer Domasica Chester Dominik Maria Doppler Constance Drabek Anne Drozd Lisa Dubeck m: Mugged A birthday takes place just about every¬ day of the year. They are celebrated in unique ways. The common part of them all is ribbons, flowers, cakes, and decorat¬ ed lockers. Girls usually give their friends ribbons filled with candy for their birthdays. One minute the ribbons are filled with candy and the next minute they’re not. It is tradi¬ tional for anyone and everyone to help themselves to some of the candy. The girls get “mugged” during passing periods and sometimes are late for class. Flowers are also given to the girls by other girlfriends or boyfriends and locker are decorated as well. During lunch, cakes are brought and the birthday girl and all of her friends can enjoy it while the rest of the cafeteria watches the craziness. Students are not the only ones to take part in this activity. The faculty also loves it. They take whatever candy they can get, too. Would you say no to a teacher? Birthdays are unique at BNI, a special day for special people to get attention and possibly mugged. White Castles, cake, pop and presents are all Cathy Pullen needs, along with her friends to cele¬ brate her January 14th birthday at lunchtime. Sharing her ribbon of candy Deserie Kalnynas gathers with some friends in the morning at her lock¬ er to munch on some candy. Anxious to get their copy before they run out, students file into the cafeteria as Marquette staff members distribute the newly arrived books. Seventy- five percent of the books were distributed in that one afternoon. Spending extra time after school, Jill Kovacik and Angie Kerger look through a copy of the 1982 Marquette after waiting in line to pick it up. Using the yearbook as a reference source, Jennifer Moran and Jacqueline Conway make a list of students’ names and check for spelling. 180 .. . YEARBOOKS Dull Hagler Waiting . .. For nearly the past ten years it has become a ritual. Guessing the day, the week, or the month that yearbooks will arrive. With a vol¬ unteer staff that works after school only, put¬ ting an entire book together has become a next to impossible task. The staff usually consists of a small num¬ ber of individuals who are dedicated through¬ out the school year and into the summer. For the staff the working, and then the waiting is difficult. For the rest of the school who don’t get to see what goes on behind the scenes, it is understandable that they are only concerned with a final product published on time. Noll has always had a fall yearbook which included everything from the previous year. Whether the book is delivered in October or ' November, it is still a special moment to open it for the first time and page through, reliving ‘ all the memories from the year before. In an effort to remedy the situation the administration has approved the addition of a yearbook and newspaper class. Students will earn credit and receive a grade for their work on these school publications. The addition of these two classes will make work much easier . for both staffs, and enable them to guarantee completion on time. The best part of the new class is being able to receive your yearbook at the very beginning of the following school year, making the waiting not quite so long. With their yellow receipts, ready students exchange them for a new copy of the 1982 Marquette.

Some of us do it directly to each other, face to face, or lips to ear, or there are times when a telephone is used and the fad is allowed to continue even though two people may be miles apart. By driving air from the lungs through the larynx, the vibrations tighten two small bands of tissue called the vocal cords and sound results. Of course this incessant noise is known as talking. Whether it is a grouchy “good morn¬ ing” to mom, a quick “hi” to a passing class¬ mate, a “secret” told to a friend in home¬ room, a “message” phoned home to dad via a brother or sister, a speech given in class, a joke told at a lunch table, good news shared about a passing grade, or just latenight philo¬ sophical talk on “life” on the phone to a best friend, it doesn’t matter. It all involves talking. A fad that has been in for eons and is popular enough to go on for twice as long. Greg Burlan has a secret, and he is telling Pierre LaMere about it, who appears to be very interested in knowing.

It is time to think, time to wonder, time to dream, time to cry, just simply time to be alone and shut the rest of the world off for a little while. Silence can be the best friend a person ever had. It can be daydreaming before class starts or just resting one’s head during homeroom; never¬ theless, one needs time to go off into one’s own little world to live peacefully for a few seconds or minutes. There may be deafening noises around ■J ut the solitude on the inside belongs only to one person where no one else ever visits or intrudes. The precious time may be used to think out a real tough problem with a friend, contemplate a big decision for college, or just to reflect on the past week and plan ahead for the next. After narrowly missing a field goal Mike Kujawa squats by the sideline to think quietly about his error and to get psyched up for his next attempt.

Am I going to go to school, and if so, what school? Do I want to go away or stay home? Do I like large or small schools? What school contains my major? These are all questions many high school juniors have to think about. Many graduates will go directly to college. The main question now, is where? This de¬ pends on their preferences, along with their ACT or SAT test scores. While filling out the applications for either test, one can sign up to be in the student search program. This is when the mail comes flowing in as colleges from all over send information to the pre¬ ferred applicants. By reading through this information many students find answers to all of their questions. Finally a list is worked out with schools prices, sizes, majors, etc., etc. At this point, most are very confused. In¬ formation from hundreds of schools are re¬ ceived and no one knows which way to turn. Starting early is the only benefit. Searching for a school and deciding on a major seems a very crucial decision to most and it is! But no one has ever really made the wrong decision. Expanding their knowledge on as many schools as possible, Kevin Quinn and Becky Vega ask some specific questions about Indiana University and its admission policies. Pamplets and bulletins are always available to help explain the basics about a school. Here, Juniors read through information about Indiana University given to them by a visiting representative from the school. 186 . . .

Such was the case for the Service Club this year as their sponsor, Mrs. Lesniak, was expecting her first child. In order to celebrate the occasion, the girls in the Club threw a surprise shower for her on April 13th. The shower was held in the Home Ec. room and as the girls waited for “Ma” to arrive the excitement mounted. By 2:30 it was nearly impossible to keep all the girls quiet. Finally, the mother-to-be arrived and for the first time in her life was speechless. The afternoon turned out very pleasantly with all of the food and gifts. Some of the gifts includ¬ ed a hamper full of baby articles, handmade afghans, a bathtub, and a variety of bibs. Without warning, the big day arrived on May 10, 1983. Nicole Anne Lesniak made her way into the world weighing in at 71bs. 4 ozs. A healthy, happy baby that made every¬ one happy, especially Ma and Pa Lesniak. Beginning to open the many gifts at the surprise show¬ er, Mrs. Lesniak carefully removes the ribbon from the first package. Tradition states that if a mother-to-be breaks the ribbon on a shower gift, she will have another baby. It was now time to dig in to all the good food. Debbie Salus, Monica Carillo, and Angela Miceli fill their plates with the wide selection of food, ranging from ham rolls to jello salads and casseroles. All of the food was prepared by the Service Club members, themselves. 188 . . .

UNIQUE ART Sullivan Zdroje wski Truly Unique Art For a number of years it was planned, the pencil sketch was completed and slowly but surely it has been painted. Fr. Ambre and various students in the past have worked to complete the artwork that has adorned the corkboard on the wall in Room A212. The mural contains the skyscrapers and the pouring of molten steel in Indiana Harbor, the smokestacks of Northwest Indiana’s in¬ dustries and finally fades into an array of clouds to complete the approximately twen¬ ty-five foot long corkboard. This year two juniors, Ted Nester and Dayna Johnson, contributed their artistic tal¬ ents to further the progress of this unique display. It has not been completed yet but with the quiet determination of Fr. Ambre it will be completed and serve as a record of this day and age in this corner of the United States. It won’t be the work of one student but of many classes and individuals. It has already established itself as unique and will always remain so. Putting some finishing touches on his work, Ted Nester adds color to the stern of the ship that is part of the giant mural. Adorning the wall In A212 the artwork includes the Sears Tower, the John Hancock, Holy Name Cathedral, the Prudential Building, and the various ports and fac- Slnce the bottle of paint had never been opened, Fr. Ambre had to use his teeth to break the seal on it so that it could be used on the mural.

Each year it is a gradual change, yet every year it is the Seniors who lead the way in many respects. The Class of 1983 was spirited, athletic, and intellectual. They set the example for the rest of the school—winning the Spirit Com¬ petition, dominating the Varsity sport teams and graduating with three Valedictorians and two Salutatorians. The Seniors were far from perfect and mis¬ takes were made, but they were the class that the rest of the school looked up to. Being a Senior is unique, it is something that every student yearns for. Actually, by the time one gets there it really feels no different. It is all in the state of mind. Senior year for the Class of ’83 was a spe¬ cial time. It was time to build a sturdy Home¬ coming float, time to go on two day retreats and experience the unforgettable. It was time to cheer fellow classmates as they led various sport teams through every victory and de¬ feat. Being a Senior was no different for the Class of ’83. It was just like being any other class. Regardless of the title given to them, the Class of ’83 remained unique and individ¬ ual, only this year it was done with everybody watching.

TYPING Bleza Chavez Invaluable and Illogical That notion is incorrect; once into college those who smile are the students who “low¬ ered themselves” enough to take typing. Now they are skilled at it and it is invaluable knowledge, even profitable. The profits arise from payments other unskilled students pay typists to type important term papers. For them it sure beats the “hunt and peck” meth¬ od. The typewriter itself is a unique piece of machinery. When a novice first begins to learn to type he or she must first learn the keyboard. What is the logic behind the ar¬ rangement of letters? Most students wonder. In actuality when typewriters were first in¬ vented they were big, bulky, and jammed up easily. In order to prevent any breakdowns the keys were scrambled to slow down typ¬ ists. To this day that scrambled arrangement has remained the same. To change it would be unheard of. Typing is unique. It receives a bum rap many times, but it is an invaluable skill learned on an illogical machine. In high school it is an infrequent require¬ ment, in college it happens all the time— there is no escaping. College papers all must be typewritten otherwise no credit is given; most professors will not even read a paper unless it is typed. Typing class is one of those elective courses that draws a smile when someone admits they are enrolled in it. Why? Some students feel that it is one of those easy, no work classes that the bottom half of the class takes.

For males the eighteenth birthday signaled the time to register for Selective Ser¬ vice. It was quick, it was easy, and it was the law, or so said the advertisements reminding males of their civic duty. Yet for males and females alike, eighteen meant that it was time to vote. The Constitu¬ tion states that anyone eighteen years or older has the right to vote in elections. In Lake County, Indiana all voters must be reg¬ istered at least a month in order to vote. With the October 1st deadline past, some seniors missed out on the chance to vote in the November Congressional elections. But one day during senior lunch the mother of senior Jon Vrabely and Whiting Councilman Bobos came to Noll and signed up eligible seniors so they would be able to vote in the upcoming local elections, which are just as important as national elections. A simple procedure of signing one’s name, address and social security number was all it took, but it represented a great step up into becoming a full-fledged voting taxpayer. After completing his registration forms, Mike Madura double checks the information to be sure that he did not omit anything or put down an incor¬ rect number which might cause a delay or render the form void. Listening carefully for proper Instructions, Jon Noce makes sure that he understands the directions before beginning to fill out the Voter’s Registration NO ONE ELSE ... 197 Seniors Carol Ann Dankovis Bat Girls 2-4; Who’s Who 3; NBHS 3; Aerobics 3; Service Club 3,4; Turnabout Queen; NHS 4.

Introducing the special guest from Loyola Universi¬ ty, Mr. Kalich, who heads the Student Services Depart¬ ment, gives the floor to the guest to speak on the proce¬ dures for financing a coll ege education. Comparing notes and taking down more, Andy Klo- sak and Paul Walker listen at the Financial Aid Work¬ shop and gain insights to obtaining grants, scholarships, and loans to finance their college education. 198 ... FAF WORKSHOP Financing A HIGHER Education College is often referred to as higher edu¬ cation. Why? Is it that the stacks of books are higher, the teacher’s podiums are higher, the buildings are higher, or the costs are higher? Actually, it means a lot of things. It is a furthering of high school and it does cost more—a lot more. Obtaining financial aid is a crucial step once decisions about where one is going and what will be studied have been made. Most parents could never afford to send a child to college unless some form of aid was made available. In order to help parents out and to clear up any confusion about FAF’s and PFS’s, the people in Student Services brought in a guest speaker from Loyola University. The library filled up to capacity as parents sat and lis¬ tened attentively to the thoughts and ideas which were expressed. It was undoubtedly informative for all of the parents who attended, even those who had sent other children to college before. The ins and outs, and whys and why nots of apply¬ ing for and receiving financial aid were all explained. Filling the library to capacity, parents file into the January workshop on financial aid. Many forms and pamphlets were available which added to information presented that evening. Dankovis Figueroa Eric E. Eglpclaco MARQUETTE 1; Bike Club 1; Intramural Basketball 4.

CHEMISTRY Fischer Gorence Unraveling a Complex World The Periodic Table is the basis for the tre¬ mendously large and usually complex world of chemistry. Every high school student who has taken chemistry finds it to be a real chal¬ lenge. Many can relate horror stories of a bad lab experiment or unpassable final exam. So much material is packed into the text books that it takes a great deal more time to read than the average novel, in fact, there is no comparison. Hours could be spent on lec¬ tures and labs could be unending, but time is limited and teachers never waste the little time they do have making the pace some¬ what accelerated for any calibre of student. Every simple household product, food we eat, and thing we drink has a chemical formu¬ la. All of those formulas react or do not react for some scientific reason that all chemists learn. Unraveling the mystery and making it understandable is not as easy as it sounds. It is either a “do or die” situation with students either catching on or dropping out of the class before becoming even more confused. Chem¬ istry is not for everyone, even though it is about everyone.

Award winners are: Jeff Manchak and Christina Karr, Athletes of the Year and Paul Smilgius, Brian J. Fech Memorial Award. Count Your Blessings A full year of sports had, for the most part, come to an end and the school year was near¬ ing an end with each passing day. On the night of May 16th athletes from all sports and classes, parents, teachers, and coaches gath¬ ered at the Knights of Columbus Hall in East Chicago. The occasion was an end for most but a beginning for even more. The 1983 Sports Banquet was the one night when all of the tough drills, repeated scrimmages, and hours in the batting cages came to a halt. It was time to look back on the past year with pleasant thoughts and look ahead to the upcoming year with optimistic hopes. The guest speaker that evening was John Friend, Athletic Director at Purdue Universi¬ ty—Calumet. He spoke first to parents tell¬ ing them that according to the CEEB (College Entrance Examination Board) the best and most reliable determiner of success in college was not GPA’s and test scores but rather involvement in extra-curriculur activities. Secondly, Mr. Friend spoke to the athletes themselves and told them to “count their blessings one by one, see what God has done.” He added that the important blessing that they all had received were a Christian home and the opportunity to learn about group discipline, competition, loyalty, self discipline and teamwork through sports. After completing his speech Mr. Dennis Fech presented the Brian Fech Award to scholar athlete Paul Smilgius. Best Male Fe¬ male Athlete awards were presented by ' Coach Vlasic and went to Jeff Manchak and Christina Karr. For the seniors at the banquet it was an —end, but not a sad ending and for the rest of « the athletes the evening served as a starting block for the 1983-84 sports year. 202 . . .

Janostak Krecicki Final Touches If BNI had fifty of them, there wouldn’t be enough. They would need one in every locker and wallsize ones in the bathrooms to please the students of BNI. Mirrors are these impor¬ tant pieces of accessori es. If there is a group of people together comb¬ ing their hair and putting on makeup, there is a mirror in front of them, in order to make the final touches. When the bathrooms are jammed, it is for use of mirrors, not necessarily for other things. Looking good is an important part of life, if not the only part. No matter if it is 7:45 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. Everyone is double-checking and taking a second look just to make sure these final touches are made everywhere. Before going on stage those involved in Theatre Arts have to be perfect, since their faces will be in the limelight. Without mirrors many of us would go crazy. Before going on stage for the Jazz Band Swing Choir Concert Yvette Machnikowski uses a mirror in the Cho¬ ral Room to put some finishing touches on her eye make up. Finding an obscure mirror in one of the lavatories in B-building Karen Burkhartsmeier puts on more lipstick before going to lunch, while Mary Beth Mullaney fixes her hair.

SENIOR LITERATURE Kresich Macocha Covering All Realms From Era to Era From Mount Olumpus to the world of Or¬ well’s 1984, from the Victorian Era to the modern world, Seniors were reading novels which covered all realms of World and British literature. World Literature taught by Mrs. Dorothy LaMere covered materials from the ancient Hebrew and Greek societies, the Arthurian legend, the Ring Trilogy, Shakespeare, and the twentieth century novels such as: All Quiet on the Western Front and 1984. The main idea touched on throughout the year was the way man has defined himself and the way he has worshipped supreme gods. Every society visited was similar and unique in their own way. In British Literature, students went from the old English of Beowulf, to the tales of Chaucer, to the England of Shakespeare and into the streets of Dicken’s London. Mr. T.J. Golden’s perfectly prepared classes com¬ bined the literature of the various eras witn the colorful English History. The lectures were accented with videotapes, music, such as Gilbert Sullivan, and movies, especially Rebecca which kept all the classes in sus¬ pense. Through this wide and varied expo¬ sure to the Literature of England, many sen¬ iors became true Anglophiles. With a few moments of free time. Feme Mills tries to complete her British Literature writing assignment before it is due to be handed in. In their final duel Hamlet (Warren Wisniewski) and Laertes Pete Hehemann) exchange dialogue before they both die from the poisoned sword. NO ONE ELSE . . . 207 Seniors Primed Up and Ready to Go The culminating event, the ending of four years at Bishop Noll—no easy task. Early in the second semester the fun, so to speak, begins as caps and gowns are ordered, an¬ nouncements ordered, and memory books picked up by many individuals who begin their assembly. Bills also have to be paid, library books returned, credits checked, requirements ful¬ filled, and transcripts sent. No loose strings can be left this time. Easter vacation hit and the Seniors real¬ ized that the big day was only weeks away. With only three weeks of classes left, the practicing began. It seemed strange to have to practice walking across a stage but the solemness and grace of the ceremony had to be preserved. Lines must be straight, the pace steady, and the names pronounced properly. All of the details had to be right so as to have a flawless ceremony result. In charge of seating arrangements. Dean of Boys, Coach Vlasic goes through the latest list of graduating Seniors and sees that they are seated properly. Immediately beginning to trade name cards, senior girls go through the articles that they ordered from Josten’s and check for spelling mistakes. A busy four years and a hectic final month finally catch up with Danine Kostyo as she tries to relax at an assembly for graduation practice. 208 . . .

COUNTING VOTES Mills Nowak Counting Votes Class Titles, Senior Superlatives, what¬ ever they are called each Senior Class looks forward to them with wonder and excite¬ ment. Taken on by the Journoll Staff every year, sheets are distributed to all Seniors so they may cast their votes for their favorites in a number of different categories. Most Likely to ... , Best.... Worst most titles are traditional at all schools, but this year a new tradition was started by the Class of ’83 with the First Annual “Worst Driver” Award. The first recipients of this prestigious award were Laura Mazur and Mike Garcia. They set the precedent for fu¬ ture award winners. The most difficult task of all is counting the 333 votes for each Title. Journoll Staff mem¬ bers spent many long hours in the AV Room counting and marking down all votes cast. Those who counted had the advantage of knowing ahead of time who the winners were but they were sworn to secrecy. Several weeks went by and before the Sen¬ ior Banquet speculations were flying as to whom the winners were. Finally the moment arrived at the Awards Ceremony, everyone would soon know who the winners were. Double checking and verifying the results, Joe Blaney and Debbie Juscik go through the votes for “Top Ten Contributors.” Keeping accurate count, Steve Hruskocy tal¬ lies the results on the blackboard as they are read Dennis Murphy Wrestling 1; Baseball 1-3; Football 1- 4; Track 4.

Through the course of this one semester Sen¬ iors take a journey which probes the theories of psychologists from Ivan Pavlov to Sigmund Freud. They also develop an understanding of their own psychological developments from birth to death. Discovering the various functions of the mind, conscious and unconscious, is not all book work. Videotapes, such as the classic Sybil, filmstrips, projects, and activities pro¬ vide some variety. Students are also involved in some special things such as hearing Father Connolly’s “re¬ laxation techniques,” and Ms. Skurka’s toy demonstration in reference to infancy. Psy¬ chology is a fresh change from the average core curriculum. Child’s play was the topic of discussion in Psychology as Ms. Skurka spoke about different toys and to what age groups they belonged. Feeding his hand puppet, Ron Seth relives a child¬ hood dream by playing he toy he never had. 212 . .. CHILD’S PLA O’Brien Perez Raymond Onesko Football 1-4; Wrestling 1-3. Joe Opolskl Wrestling 1.

It does not stem from any one source, yet it can be found in practically every city and town in North¬ west Indiana. Noll taste is diverse, made up of people and ideas from all over the Calumet Region. Attitudes, emotions, likes, dislikes, and the different ways of doing things are blended together every year. People meet other peo¬ ple that they thought never existed. Each schoolday, students representing communi¬ ties from Griffith, Indiana to Chicago, Illinois converge on BNI; not only to be educated, but also to exchange ideas, begin new friend¬ ships and continue old ones.

It is a blend of character and ideas from all over; therefore, Noll taste can be found in several communities and, yet, it always will have an identity of its own. The Noll “experience” is often taken for granted. Fortunately, one’s presence here alone can be a cause for their being influ¬ enced and their influence being felt. Because of the melting pot of individuals, everyone learns not only to grow in themselves, but also to grow for others, as well. By sharing our ideas, leaving our childhoods behind, and welcoming others into our lives, we break away from our former selves and become a part of a whole new way of life. That, simply, is what Noll taste is all about. Seniors Jerelyn E. Ransom Y-Teens 14; A-V Aide 3,4; Booster Club 4. Robert Rasch Mark A.

That Spirit was curb to enjoy it all. rekindled at Senior Night. 216 .. . SENIOR NIGHT Ransom Salinas An Evening to Reunite Retreats—Senior year is very special be¬ cause of the retreats and the Class of ’83 just could not let the two day retreats begin and end without rekindling the special feelings. Despite the fact that there was more than one retreat which created more than one close knit group, the Senior Night brought retreaters from every retreat together and showed that everyone was truly “One United In Love.” Planned by the Teen Advisory Board, Sen¬ ior Night was filled with much activity. Stu¬ dents began to break the ice early that even¬ ing as games of softball, soccer, frisbee, and volleyball were started out on the practice field. Meanwhile, members of the Teen Adviso¬ ry Board along with various members of the faculty, such as: Ms. Bazan, Mr. Reis, and Ms. Wiecinski, worked to prepare the food for all of the Seniors. Once the hamburgers and hot dogs were ready, the games stopped and retreaters swarmed to the area between the school and St. Margaret Mary’s to munch on all the good food. After darkness set in for the evening, the entire group moved into St. Margaret Mary’s for a liturgy and then moved into the base¬ ment where retreaters spent over an hour performing favorite skits from retreat. Senior Night slowly drew to a close as everyone began making their way home, satisfied that they had the chance to reunite after the re¬ treats had ended.

It was time to change the policy, time to deal with a problem rather than avoid it, time to provide an alternative for conquering a problem head on—one which is present in most schools. Alcohol and drug use and abuse were is¬ sues no longer to be ignored. In an assembly of the Senior class, Father Connolly spoke about the past eight years of his being princi¬ pal at BNI. Fifteen students had died, eight of which were Seniors, as a result of murder, suicide or a car accident related to alcohol and drugs. A new program called “Alternatives” gave students caught using illegal substances a choice of either withdrawing from Noll or joining the program. Meeting once a week the Tradition during school with someone from Tri-Cities Rehabilitation Center. One senior killed each year senselessly—it was an ugly tradition. If it continued, one of the people in the assembly would be dead by September of 1983 because of alcohol or drugs. Also to speak at the assembly was senior Rich Reddington. Rich volunteered to speak on the situation, speaking for only a minute or two. He persuaded fellow classmates to re¬ consider indulging and endangering their lives. It was senseless and it was time to break the tradition. Expressing some positive peer pressure. Rich Red- dington speaks about “breaking the tradition.” 218 . . .

There were sports banquets, journalism banquets and fine arts banquets. All of them for a specific group, but there was one ban¬ quet which included them all and went be¬ yond the boundaries of just one club or team including everyone—the Senior Banquet. A somewhat semi-formal evening in the BNI cafeteria where the Class of 1983 cele¬ brated the end of classes, laughed about the good times, and prayed about the future. It brought together the faculty and the students to enjoy a final evening together with a pro¬ gram, which served to award recognition to “best of the best” and “best of the worst.” The evening began early as students be¬ gan to fill the lobby in front of the auditorium to talk and snack on a few items. Disbelief was present among most as they realized that the final stretch was upon them. In a matter of days it would be all over and four years of classes, games, parties . . . memories would come to an end. After the dinner Class President, Pierre LaMere opened up the awards program as¬ sisted by Vice President Joe Algozine and Secretary Treasurer Leslie Dernulc. Announced that evening were the Top Ten Teachers, Top Ten Contributors and Best this and that. The waiting was over, no more secrets. Recognition was given for just one moment—a big thank you for four won¬ derful years. The final part of the evening was the dance with the opening song drawing many to the dance floor because it captured the year per¬ fectly—Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant. A great array of music was presented and ev¬ eryone went home that evening content, but yet sad, the end was really here. Anxiously awaiting to be served a piece of chicken, Joe Blaney calmly holds his plate out for one of the cafeteria helpers to fill. A Semi-Formal Farewell Conversation was non-stop during the entire banquet. Dena Vera, Ron Meskis, and Paul Smilgius talk after the meal before the awards were set to be presented. At the center of the dance floor, Mike Garcia and Eva Kresich steal the show and the attention of everyone around the m as well. Sybilski Turich Lawrence Tomaszewskl Musical 1; Clowns 1.

LAST DAY Turner Zurawiec One Day, One Moment May 20th, seventh hour, 1:45 p.m.—that day, that class, that minute classes would end for three hundred thirty-four members of the Class of 1983. At least a week prior to the Friday dismiss¬ al a faculty meeting was held. “Battle sta¬ tions” were assigned to each and ever mem¬ ber. Warnings were announced, printed in letters to parents and repeated at assem¬ blies. Any senior acting irresponsibly would be subject to suspension or withdrawal and not allowed to graduate. As the words “teachers may now dismiss students at this time” ran chills up the spines of seniors all over the school, teachers went immediately to their posts to monitor behav¬ ior. In the midst of the frenzy, papers were scattered over the hallways and lockers were emptied for the last time by teary eyed sen¬ iors. Hugs were exchanged, goodbyes ex¬ pressed, party invitations extended, and tears shed, but excitement was present as well. Rather than risk being reprimanded on campus, a majority of the ecstatic, rowdy seniors transported the traditional fun and frolic of the last day over to Irving Park. Shaving cream, icing, eggs, and baby pow¬ der, all were used to make a fun mess of things as relieved students screamed out the tensions built up for four years. It was an informal commencement for those involved. As the 1:45 dismissal announcement drew within minutes, the seventh hour study hall class was loud and rowdy while posing for a group shot. Using a grocery bag for convenience, Chris Lenz empties the garbage and books from his locker after dismissal. He then had to fight the traffic out of the p arking lot. As a way to pass the time during the last hour on Friday, Rich Reddington and Mike Brown compete in an arm wrestling match. The winner was . . . Mike Brown.

Literally, they are only words or ink on a page; yet, each and every student, teacher, function, and dance that these words repre¬ sent have a special place in this yearbook and in the memories of over 1600 people committed to the Noll Community. As you search these pages looking for a specific person or group, now, or ten years from now, keep in mind their individual contribution. They are “one. . . just one” out of many who helped to make 1983 a year to remember. All of these words convey a great deal—“One Word Says It All! ' A ...

INDEX Colophon The 1150 copies of Volume 48 of the 1983 Marquette were printed by Herff Jones Year¬ book, out of Montgomery, Alabama. All 256 pages are printed on 80 Bordeaux paper stock. The cover is a royal blue vinyl with a “crush” texture and an applied gold foil. Editors David Jackson and Carla Bo- chenek were responsible for the theme devel¬ opment of “One ... Just One!” David was responsible for the cover design, a majority of the copy and all of the captions, while Carla designed most of the layouts including the divider, the album section and the sports pages. The type family used was Souvenir. Body was done in 10 point and captions in 8 point while dividers were done in 14 point and 12 point. All theme pages used Bingham Script for the heads. Other head styles used were Hollywood hights, Orbit and Old English, which were all submitted as camera ready art. All tool lines which are not standard 2 point rules were also submitted as camera ready art. All original developing and printing of the 3540 black and white photos and 550 color photos were done by Root photographers, out of Chicago, Illinois. Root was also respon¬ sible for taking 11 of the formal album photos group shots, and some special events. Advisers for the 1983 Marquette were Mr. Thomas J. Golden and Miss Mary Ann Necas- tro and the company representative was George Kingsley, Jr. INDEX ... 247 Tension mounts as Principal Father Connolly announces the ticket number of the grand prize.

EMPORIUM Et tu Brute. Having a little fun during their break at the Emporium, Rich Reddington gets ready to plunge his spear through Tony Garcia’s armor. A Night At Caesar ' s Palace The days of Caesar’s Palace were relived on April 22-23, 1983 as the 2nd Annual BNI Emporium was held in the fieldhouse. The Emporium opened Friday night with a preview party which gave the workers and parents a chance to sample wines and cheeses, play the duck ponds and place silent auction bids for certain prizes. Then Saturday, the big event occurred. As the guests walked in they were greeted by Caesar (Joe Algozine) and his Roman Guards. The guests then entered the fieldhouse, which had been transformed into Caesar’s Palace with numerous silent auction booths, a duck pond, the main auction stage and dinner tables. The festivities began with dinner, served by Condes’ Catering Service. After dinner, the main auction began. This was the time for the guests to do their bidding. The big money raisers were; two spaghetti dinners, cooked by Fr. Connolly and Fr. Niblick, for $3000.00 each and two station wagons for $13,500.00 each. The final big event was the raffle drawing for $10,000.00, which was won by Ricky To- lin, a senior at Bishop Noll. Even though they did not make as much money as last year, it was still a huge success. Before the days of Caesar can be relived, senior Marc Zubeck unloads palm trees for final landscaping touches by the main entrance to be used that night for the 1983 Emporium. Explaining the operations of a video recorder and how to bid on it, Bob Speski and Ted Murzyn gladly help out a prospective customer.

PROM Up Where We During a break in the music, students became restless and a quartet was formed. Buddies Ricky Tolin, Chris Ferry, Warren Wisniewski, and Mike Lukas join to sing a few tunes. Juniors and Seniors form a cluster around the 1983 Prom Court. The King and Queen have just been announced while Monica Mika looks on. Romance was In the air. Music filled the hall. Queen Cheryl Macocha and date John Pietrowski share a special dance late in the evening. Eye-catching table favors were placed before each plate. Kathy Webb and her escort admire the candles they were allowed to take home as a memoir of Prom Night, 1983. Belong 99 Some things never change, yet some things to do. For the 1983 Prom a number of changes were prevalent. The most obvious was the day. Unlike previous years, Prom was set to be held on a Saturday, May 14th. Was superstition the reason for not having it on Friday the 13th? Not really. In the past there were problems with attendance in school on the day of Prom with it being held on Friday. So, to avoid problems, it was set for Saturday. Many students took advantage of the situa¬ tion using the extra time to make sure that everything was right. Cars were cleaned and waxed, tuxes and dresses picked-up, beauty salons visited, and last minute items taken care of. As evening approached, people dressed in formal attire arrived in cars and made their way to St. Elijah Hall in Merrillville. They had an exciting evening of dinner and dancing. Upon arrival Spasoff photographers were busy taking photos of jittery couples, and friends exchanged stories about plans for afterwards and the following day. Later that evening, once everyone was seated, the meal was served. As the lights went down, a blue tint filled the entire room. Without much delay, as the dessert dishes were being cleared away, the band Deluxery began to provide the entertainment for the evening. Complete with horns and harmonica the band provided a selection of jazz hits for the majority of the evening to a very sur¬ prised, but pleased dance floor. During the first intermission the Prom court was introduced and King and Queen announced. The 1983 royalty was Cheryl Macocha and Steve “Cheech” Hruskocy. The dancing started again with jazz music all night long. One break was when the theme “Up Where We Belong” was played to a very crowded dance floor. As midnight rolled around the music ended and the “jazzed up” couples began making their way to other destinations, some of which included parties, restaurants, or home for breakfast or a good night’s rest. Sunday was also a busy day for many as trips to Turkey Run, Great America, Wiscon¬ sin, Chicago, and many other places. Wheth¬ er it was canoe rides, roller coasters, yachts, or carriages everyone enjoyed an unforgeta- ble jazzed weekend for Prom 1983. PROM ... 251 But Where’s My Diploma? “I can’t believe it,” she whimpers, “my baby is growing up. He’s graduating!” He would allow this time of sorrow for his moth¬ er, but she would be crying even harder in a few weeks when his Calculus grade arrives in the mail. He adjusts his tie, sweeps his fingers through his hair, gives himself a wink in the mirror, and exits the bathroom. He could hear his mother saying, “It seems like only yesterday that you graduated from kinder¬ garten.” He grabs his cap and gown, and he runs to school. Congratulating another Bishop Noll graduate, his excellency, Bishop Andrew Grutka, shakes hands with Carol Dankovis. Taking time out to chat after Baccalaurete, Cindy Monberg discusses her plans for college with Mr. and Mrs. Albert LaMere. It is now 7:30 p.m., Friday, May 27, 1983. He hears Pomp and Circumstance flowing out of the gym. This is what everyone looks forward to—GRADUATION! His mom was right. It does seem like only yesterday that he rode a bicycle for the first time, had his first date, and got his driver’s license. As the graduating class enters the building, flash¬ bulbs illuminate the vicinity. They walk to their assigned seats. Fr. Connolly begins the ceremony, followed by Bishop Andrew Grutka, and the Valedictory and Salutatory speeches. There is a lamentful cry from the parent’s seat! He turns slowly and sighs. His mother has just opened a new box of tissue. When he turns back to the front, he re¬ members the girl next to him was his lab partner last year. They had almost blown Mrs. Michielsen’s third hour Chemistry I class up when they were trying to make facial cream. Two rows ahead of him was his best friend. He’ll never forget the time someone slid a Twinkie underneath him during lunch, and his best friend didn’t even tell him. Looking around the fieldhouse he realizes that he only knows half of his class. “Four years just isn’t enough time,” he tells himself. The music starts once more. The first row stands to receive their diplomas. This time it was for real. No one would be able to scream and jump up and down, trying to imitate the contestants on The Price Is Right, like they had done during practice. Before he knows it, he is at the top of the stage. Fr. Moszur pro¬ nounces his name almost correctly. The crowd applauds, drowing out the wailing of his mother. He strides across the stage. He extends his hand to receive his diploma. He waits . . . and waits . . . and waits. What’s this? No diplomas? Nah, it couldn’t be! The crowd begins to laugh. The administration is at a loss for words (and diplomas). The front row offers their diplomas to Fr. Moszur, who accepts them in a flash. His hand is extended once more. This time a diploma is placed in it. He is congratulated by the administration. He now has someone else’s diploma, but it signifies that he is now an alumnus of Bishop Noll Institute. As he walks down the stairs, he asks the most important question at the mo¬ ment, “Will mom let me use the car to go to the party?” 252 . . . GRADUATION Like Moses divided the Red Sea, the Class of ’83 split into two sections as they gather in the fieldhouse to listen to Father Connolly’s speech, knowing it will be the last one they will ever hear. After the Baccalaurete mass, enthusiastic Seniors gather for pictures with friends or talk about the past four years at Noll and the graduation parties that will last the entire summer. GRADUATION . . . 253 ... Just One As May became June, we felt it. As the thought of another summer of sitting on beaches became apparent, we loved it. We all experienced different emotions at that time—sadness over leaving the special friendships behind, relief over surviving the first year in brown plaid or neckties, or pessimism over spending our last summer as a Noll student. Nevertheless, the 1982-1983 school year was be¬ hind us and our chance, one opportunity to make it the best, was now a memory of that one place that we worked and played at—Bishop Noll. Second semester flew by too, but more people took notice of what was happening. We realized that we had only one chance to give blood, one chance to cry our eyes out on February 28th as we bid farewell, along with 150 million others, to one of our favorite television shows ever, M A S H. We even had the rare chance to experience Friday 13th and Prom Night, all on the same weekend. In between those events were more Bobby Beach, Monday mornings doing last minute home¬ work in the library before homeroom, and all of the seventh hours talking and not paying attention to the announcements. We went from one week to the next, one day to the next. Each day seemed to drag, but Friday would show up before we would know it. Sooner or later it was final exam time; the Seniors were gone and now the year was over. As we celebrated on that Friday night, June 3rd, we reminisced on the past year. We remembered that one moment, that one game, that one television show . . . that one year, 1983. That one place, Bishop Noll, that one per¬ son. That one . . . just one. 254 . . . CLOSING Realizing this was their last time as Bishop Noll Cheerleaders, Joy Cramer and Debbie Jakubielski try to hold back the tears after the heart breaking loss to East Chicago Roosevelt at the basketball Sectionals. Helping other cast members of Bye, Bye Birdie put on their make¬ up, Joe Palla darkens Pete Hehemann’s eye brows as Darrin Szrom picks up some pointers. During a performance at Comisky Park, White Sox mascot and newest colorguard member, Rhubarb, shows the home crowd how he handles a rifle. Junior Lisa Dubeck does not seem impressed by his performance. Who’s behind those Foster Grants? Waiting on the sideline, Monica Rivich awaits the half time of the Noll- Whiting game. The poms performed to “Everybody Wants You,” for which the mirror reflector sunglasses were needed. CLOSING ... 255 S.W.A.Kl Switching places with a cheerleader, Mrs. Madura puckers up to give her son, senior Mike Madura, a good luck kiss during the basketball pep rally. Trying to look his best, Ricky Tolin shows deep concentration as he attempts to brush his hair as perfect as possible for his Senior picture retakes, which took place in November. A common sight at senior banquet, Chris Lenz prepares to take an instamatic picture with his instamatic camera to capture the moments of this night so he can always remember it. 256 . . .
