RIGHT, Mario Woods shows that Bloom has all of the latest moves and styles during Homecoming Week. What Does Tomorrow Bring? Throughout high school, there are always people such as counselors and teachers asking students questions like: What are you doing after high school? Are you going to college or into the working field?” Most of the time students do not always know the „ answers to these questions because no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Some former students were asked if they were doing what they expected to be doing and how the decisions that they had made had worked out. Sundee Koffarnus, a member of the Class of '84, said: I was unsure about what my major was going to be I definitely knew I wanted to attend college. I am glad to attend college because I knew that I can not only get a better job, but that I also know more about the world.” Janelle Sheihing, now attending Purdue Calumet University, said: I enjoy going to college. I think I made a wise decision, and if I had it to do all over again I would do it the same way.” These graduates spent years at Bloom which helped them to make important decisions about their futures. Such decisions will eventually be faced by every member of every class which enters the front doors of the building. Bloom holds the key to every student’s future, but each member of the student 4 body must turn that key in the lock by himself. LEFT.

Facing Decisions While at a friend's party, someone approaches you and offers you a beer, to which you reply, I don't drink. Throughout the evening he and other friends try to coax you into drinking and make you feel like an outsider until you finally give in. Peer pressure such as this is usually thought of as bad} however, that is not always true. At times it can be beneficial, such as when friends persuade you to do better in school, to help you make the right decisions, or to encourage you to do the right thing if you are doing something wrong. Peer pressure can also be harmless to a certain point, but once opinions become pressure, you are no longer thinking for yourself. So at times peer pressure is good, and at times it is bad. Peers are your friends and the people you associate with, so whether peer pressure is good or bad really depends on what type of friends you have. Introduction 9 % ABOVE.

To illustrate this fact, we asked a sample of Bloom's students to tell what they did after the school day ended. Here are their responses. Trfsh O'Halloran — During the Fall I swim until 5t30, and in the Spring I play softball. Gianni Bianchi — Dopo la scula to vado in giro per Chicago Heights e conosco nuove persone poi vado a cenare e guardo la T.V. ( After school I go around Chicago Heights and meet new people. I then eat dinner and watch T.V.”) Romana Planera — After school I work at Cipriani's, and when I'm not working I help out with Student Council activities. Paul Stovall — After school I work on Junior Class, Student Council, and I also go to play rehearsals.” John Nieberle — I stage manage for the fall play, I go to V.I.C.A. meetings, and I work on my car. Introduction 13 Reaching We grow as one. Just as a mighty tree stands tall and proud. The newest seeds await their chances to bud while the oldest — more mature — fall away and fly on the wind, landing where life has decided. They take root and begin to grow, leaving room for the others, reaching for the sky and beyond. This is growth, this is hope, this is life.

In honor of that fact, all the students at Bloom filed into McCann gymnasium for a playoff pep assembly. Coach Piazza introduced the starting offensive lineup and the first offensive play of the game, telling everyone to watch for it that afternoon. In everyone's hearts there was no doubt at the end of the assembly that Bloom would win the game. Such was not the case, however, as Bloom lost to Romeoville by a score of 51-37, the highest score in state playoff history. Bloom's team never gave up once during the game, despite some heart-breaking runs by Romeoville. Midway through the fourth quarter, in fact. Bloom was only a touchdown behind and was hoping for the tying score, but the chilling wind and the hot Romeoville attack proved to be too much. All Bloom, though, was excited by this team and its courage, and was thankful that the players could get the school year off to such an exciting and promising start. ABOVE LEFT: BLOOM FANS.

The Olym- pics in Chicago Heights? No! It was the third annual Bloom Locker Room Dance! Held in McCann Gym, the dance gave students a night to mingle with friends, renew acquaintances, and cele- brate the beginning of a new school year. All types of music, provided by DJ Sound-2-Go, gave students an opportuni- ty to jam to the latest tunes. Door prizes were awarded every hour throughout the evening. Said Bloom Mayor, Laurie Pascarella, of the evening: This is the best turnout we’ve ever had for the first big dance of the year. I’m really glad so many people had the chance to come out to have fun and show school spirit.” What did you think of the Locker Room Dance? Mario Giannetta.

Locker Room Dance 21 Bloom Welcomes Its Parents Dinner, Conferences Highlight Open House jai pen House occurs once a year, and it enables parents to meet teachers and review with these teachers the progress of their youngsters. The turnout for this year's Open House was good. The evening's activities ranged from a dinner in the cafeteria to performances in the music department, but most parents were interested in joining the lines which waited at the entrances of each classroom. The feelings of most parents in attendance on October 13 were summed up by Mr. and Mrs. Rose, parents of Freshman Lisa Rose. They were very pleased with their daughter’s grades, teachers, and the school itself. Mrs. Rose TOP PHOTO. MRS. CALDWELL AND MR.

She went on to say, I was really impressed with the appearance of the building. The classrooms seemed nicer and cleaner. It looks better than it did when I went to Bloom thirty-three years ago. Miss Aley, a History teacher at Bloom, feels that Open House is important because by talking to the parents, you can find out what the student is really like and what to expect. She also said that if she misjudges a student, Open House gives a good opportunity to straighten things out. 22 Parents' Open House BELOW: PARENTS WAIT PATIENTLY AS the line at the counselors' schedule table moves along.

Parents’ Open House 23 Homecoming Week cCann Gym filled with smoke and the students watched in amazement as Tony Trojan was re-introduced as the school’s mascot. This scene at the Homecoming Assembly climaxed a wild week which started on Tuesday, October 9 with Walt Disney Day. Wednesday was designated as Cubs Day, and hats, jerseys, and official Cub uniforms were worn to celebrate Chicago’s Eastern Division champs. The week ended on Friday with the traditional Blue and White Day. When asked how successful Homecoming Week was, Mrs. Diana Oldenburg said: ”1 thought Homecoming Week was very successful. Everyone worked hard to put it together, but most of the credit goes to the Student Council and Mrs. McCrowey.” Once again the Senior Class came Time for Trojan Pride out on top in the annual battle for the Spirit Jug. Mrs. Oldenburg said of another Senior project: I was really glad to see the return of Tony Trojan at the assembly, thanks to the Senior Class.” The Homecoming football game provided an excellent finish to the week with the team’s victory over Bloom Trail. This year something new was added to Homecoming Week — a balloon launch. After school on Thursday the student body gathered in front of the school, each student holding a balloon with a card attached. The student whose balloon travelled the farthest won a $25.00 gift certificate. The blue and white cloud of balloons that was released to the sky was a great way to show our Trojan pride.

The dance, held in Bloom's cafeteria which was beautifully decorat- ed by the Student Council, featured music by the Shaun Christopher Band. As the night began, couples lined up to have their pictures taken so that the memory of this evening could be preserved. The dancing couples on the floor could not hide the fact that there was tension in the air as the members of the 1984 Homecoming Court gathered anxiously to find out who would wear the crown for the current year. The crowd became silent, awaiting the announce- ment of the Homecoming Queen. Then came a moment of disbelief, followed by sheer delight as Gina Falcioni rose to accept the honor of being chosen Bloom's Homecoming Queen of 1984. ABOVE. MICHELLE LOPEZ TRIES HARD not to bite the hand, in this case the hand of Addison Woodward, that feeds her. Homecoming Dance 29 Trip to the Orient Teahouse of the August Moon Shines lot of people think that high school plays are a waste of time, and this is often proven by the number of people in the audience. On November I, 2, and 3 Bloom’s drama department performed the play, The Teahouse of the August Moon by John Patrick, before an audience in the Workman Auditorium made up of a few faithful senior citizens, parents and relatives, and some students. The quality of appreciation made up for the lack of numbers at the ticket window. The cast and crew were the big winners because of their long work and patience. The play centers around Captain Fisby and Sakini, his interpreter, played by Paul Stovall and Troy Moore, re- spectively. They are trying to help an Okinawan village recover from the war, using a manual which does not apply as well in practice as it does in theory. The local geisha, Lotus Blossom, played by Yolanda Androzzo, and Captain Fisby's boss, Col. Purdy, played by Tom Burkholder, provided the ever-present conflicts between east and west cultures in the play. Other main characters in the play included Beth Hamlin as McClain and Kevin Campbell as Sgt. Gregovitch. The directors of the play were Mr. Reimler and Miss Newkirk, and the technical advisor was Ms. Okoniewski. The stage manager was John Nieberle.

Teahouse Of The August Moon 31 Teahouse Toil Cast and Crew Role” Along J n looking at the polished Bloom performance of Teahouse of the August Moon, one could not guess that two weeks earlier the idea that such a performance could take place seemed impossible. A scene of frenzied re- hearsals and set constructions began which lasted long into the night. Assorted problems arose which had to be dealt with, such as the new computer- ized light board that needed repair soon after it arrived. According to Miss Newkirk, assis- tant director: The quality of auditions was excellent, despite the problems. The casting was difficult because there were at least three ways we could have cast the show. She then added, We tried to pick experience, ability to work hard, and reliability.” The selection process was obviously a success as could be seen in the performances!

The evening started out with the Trojan band, under the direction of Mr. Rose. This group was followed by a solo performance by Tricia Wald, who sang ’’For Your Eyes Only. After music by the Advanced Freshman Choir, Michael Johnson provid- ed a solo rendition of Climb Every Mountain, a tough act to follow which was nevertheless followed beautifully by the Mixed Choir. Next came a brilliant duet by Maribeth Waite and Anthony Duncan who swayed with the audience with If Ever You’re in My Arms Again.” The Orchestra followed, concluding its section by accompanying Michael Hud- son who sang I Just Called to Say I Love You.” The evening was then capped off with the always stunning Treble Choir which performed such memorable songs as I Enjoy Being a Girl,” and Eventide.” Afterwards, Mr. Ruphard was quoted as saying, ”1 was very proud of my students. They put a lot of effort into making this year’s concert the best ever!” TOP PHOTO: MARTY WARD KEEPS THE beat” for the Orchestra.

Holiday Spirit Week, sponsored by the Student Council, included locker decoration day, Santa hat day, Christmas card day, and, replacing the traditional blue and white day, green and red day. Class assemblies were also part of the holiday spirit. The Sophomore, Junior and Senior officers sponsored a fun-filled hour of music, skits, and door prizes for each of their classes. The admission fee of canned goods was given to the Salvation Army for the needy of the Chicago Heights area. The grand finale of the week was a Rudolph’s Rockin’ Eve” dance, also sponsored by the Student Council. It gave students one last chance to celebrate with their friends, as well as wish them, Merry Christmas,” one last time before the big day.

Showcase ’85 Once More an Outstanding Performance vi Jod” and Plaza Suite were this year’s showcase plays. Each play dealt with human nature and ways in which we make it. God was a story set in 500 B.C. in which a Greek actor, played by Bob Birgel, and a writer, Michael Hudson, join with an obnoxious girl, Shelly Widen, in order to come up with an exciting ending to their play. Plaza Suite is about a girl’s wedding day and all of the havoc she caused for her parents, played by Chris Crowe and Sheila Rajhert. The girl, Isabel Vasquez, locked herself in her bathroom until her fiance, Russell Little, arrives with his logic to save the day. Mr. Reimler, the advisor for the two plays, stated that, Showcase plays have proven worthwhile because they give newcomers a chance to have leading roles in fine plays. Directing the play God” were John Nieberle and Dan Uliassi while Ron Conboy and Rose Ramey directed Plaza Suite.” 36 Showcase '85 THE BLOOMFEST BRINGS TOGETHER all of the different lifestyles of the world. Bloomfest '85 an International Hit J he seventh annual Bloomfest was an enormous success, according to Mrs. Baader, one of the event's organizers. Along with the traditional ethnic food booths which included foods of Irish, Oriental, Afro-American and many other cultures there were some new additions. An ethnic fashion show was added this year, and some of the costumes were family treasures which were as much as 75 years old. There was also a game of Bloom Trivia which was made up of questions which were generated by students, faculty members, and community members. Mrs. Baader commented that the fashion show and Trivia game were the highlight of the day. The entertainment for the afternoon included a puppet show and pinata for the young children while in the field- house everything from square dancing to the West Side Breakers could be found. All in all, Bloomfest 85 was memorable because a variety of ethnic groups got to experience each other’s cultures while having some fun together. And Bloom was the host!

He spent a lot of time after school, working on it, and he did a really super job for his first try.” You're the Inspiration” was the theme of this year’s Turnabout Dance, the one dance each year that a girl can officially ask the guy of her dreams out. The dance took place on February 16 from 8:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. and the starry eyed couples were entertained by Ocean. At the coronation, Tom Meinhart was elected King of Flearts.” One of the highlights of the evening was the small display of fireworks after the coronation. Mrs. Oldenburg was also very pleased with the attendance of this year’s dance. She said that the couples acted maturely.” She stated further that It was one of the best Turnabout dances,” that she had ever been to.

How often does one get the chance to see about half of the Varsity football team wearing a dress?” The assembly was filled with many things that made this gathering one to remember. Ismael Hernandez comment- ed after the Senior boys’ chorus line had concluded and he could get out of his uncomfortable dress.- I don’t know why I did it} I just felt like doing something weird. I’m a Senior. It doesn’t matter anymore.” TOP PHOTO: BRYAN SAMUELS AND ALAN Lach demonstrate a new dance step at the Turn-a-Bout Assembly. ABOVE: Alan Lach. Chris Adams.

Being in T. and T.'s has shown me how important it is to cooperate in a group situation in order to put on a good show. When I made T. and T. ’$. I felt that it was a great honor and privilege to be in a Senior group in my Junior year.” T. and T.’s, Marching Band: T. and T.’s Triumph in Busy Schedule The T. and T.’s started this year out well when thirteen of the members made it to state competition. Because each member of the group — a select group of eighteen Seniors and Juniors from the A-Cappella Choir — has a very high level of talent, each individual is capable of singing and dancing in the group’s many performances. During the course of the year the group has given approximately 30 concerts, thirteen of which occurred in December. Mr. Bill Ruphard, the group’s director, stated: ’’The group has a very good blend this year. When they are competing, they are very strong, and this brings us good results.” This proved to be true when the group auditioned for the Illinois Education Association. The singers brought a lot of attention to themselves by performing so well at the competition. THE TROJANETTES AND TROJANAIRES - Back Row: Doug Williamson.

The beat goes on.” Marching Band 45 PHILLIP BARTKIEWICZ. The four years I've been in band I feel we have greatly improved, and I’m proud to have been a part of it. The Toe Tapping Trojans Marching on to victory, Bloom's marching band reached many goals which set it apart from past years and earned it a statewide recognition. The band has been showing steady im- provement for about two years. This year got off better than usual because the Freshmen were well trained. There also seemed to be an attitude of change within the band. The marchers strove for a better quality group. Competition gave them a jolt, stated Mr. Rose, referring to the numerous competitions in which the band took part. The band, for example, competed with sixty-six other bands at the University of Illinois and brought home a third place marching percussion award. It is difficult to keep 85 players together in perfect order and precision. This number does not include the ten flag girls, eighteen pom-pon girls and two twirlers, all led by Shaunne Amos and Anne Hojnacki, the drum majors. Leading the band in particular sections are. Paul Green in trumpets, Sharon Thompson in flutes, and Joe Foerster in the saxophone section. Chris Adams is the section leader for low brass and Steve Guillermo and Joe Trojanowski are the leaders for the drum section. Senior band member Paul Green said of his band experiences this year: With the progression I have seen in the past years, next year the marching band will become highly competitive. Good luck, Bandfesters!” Bands Put the Beat Trojan Band, Orchestra Steadily Improve BELOW. ANGELA McGUIRE TOOTS her horn. BELOW RIGHT. Charles Kysilka waits for his cue from Mr. Rose. 'The orchestra is really showing a steady improvement this year,” stated Mr. Rose, Bloom's band director. Long practice every day and much dedication seem to be paying off. Daily practice makes the orchestra achieve that perfect sound anytime it performs. Stuart Prim feels that, Getting out and performing in front of the whole audience is the most exciting thing about being in band.” The orchestra performs in various recitals throughout the year and also accompanies the spring musical. With its busy schedule, all the practice. dedication, and Trojan pride seem to come in handy. We can thank the Junior Highs for the improvement of the Freshman Band,” stated Mr. Rose. The Trojan Band, consisting of 43 members who are entering Bloom's musical program, performs in a number of concerts and events. The groups also participated in the Christmas program at City Hall along with the Fall Harvest concert, the Winter and Spring concerts, and the girls' volleyball tournament. TROJAN BAND — Back Row.

When that bass guitar begins to throb and the horn section bursts into action, students know that a fun time is beginning. This year we’re trying to expand our band by playing more jazz ' stated Mr. Rose, and that addition has certainly been obvious. The jazz band really gets the feeling going, and the school spirit begins to filter throughout the students,” stated one Bloom student as he com- mented upon the performances of the Stage Band. Bloom’s Stage Band also performed this year for events spon- sored by other organizations such as the Senior Citizens' Thanksgiving Dinner. Although the individuals who take part in the activities involved in the Beginning Band are not quite as skilled as the members of more advanced classes such as the Jazz Band, this class performs an important function in preparing students to one day join more advanced groups.

This choir has broadened my vision of music, and I feel very proud of being in this class.” Bloom hosts Choral Clinic Ruphard very pleased with A’Cappella This year’s A’Cappella Choir was selected to attend a choral clinic at Northern Illinois University. Bloom also held its own choral clinic in November at which seven schools from across the state were represented. I’m very pleased with perfor- mances, and I hope increasing success continues,” said Mr. Ruphard. Success did continue as Maribeth Waite and Anthony Duncan made the All-state Honor Choir and Elizabeth Hamlin and Douglas Williamson made the State Choir.

Strong Voices Lead Choir Freshman, Mixed Choirs Bring Music Experience Over the last four years at Bloom, the quality of the music has improved as has the level of musicianship and commitment, stated Mr. Ruphard, Bloom’s choir director. Commenting on Freshman and Mixed Choirs, he contin- ued: They are very good, they enjoy singing, and they are really excited about performing. Mr. Ruphard started something new this year by splitting the Freshman Choir into two choirs, separat- ing the advanced Freshmen from the beginners and placing a few exceptional singers in the Mixed Choir. Some of the stronger voices con- tributing to the choirs are Angela Criss, Rita LaDere, and Tamaara Mannie, all sopranos. Cathy Lewis is a strong contributor to the alto section. Support- ing a very good male section are Russell Glenn, Gregg Mondon, Mike VanBeek, and Mark Williams, all of whom sing tenor. Also adding to an excellent bass section are Dave Netz and Jeff Sparger. ABOVE: THE FRESHMAN ADVANCED CHOIR follows Mr. Ruphard’s directions to smile while singing.

ABOVE: The yearbook staff busily works to make their deadline. 50 The Annual Covers Heights to Horizons Putting together a book containing all the events of an entire school year was the tough job of this year's Annual staff. But all the interviews, the selling of advertisements, and the evenings of staying after school to get the job done right were both necessary and worth it, according to Editor Amy Martin, With a yearbook, in twenty years people can look back on their high school days and remember their good times. Though a yearbook may not seem important to some people now, the Annual staff was determined to make this year’s book a book that would be treasured in the years to come. The staff did this in several unique ways through the use of more color, better copy with more student reactions, and more photos. With all these improvements, this year's book should be the best ever. THE ANNUAL STAFF — Back Row: Bob Birgel, Kristina Koffarnus. Brooke Brassea, Michele Morrett, Leticia Cuellar. Karen Fair.

Being a Mathlete involves more than just having fun, and as Dawn Levy added: a jammin' paper fight on the ride home. When students join Mathletes, they go to other schools to compete in different mathematical areas such as Algebra, Trigonometry, oral competition, calcula- tor competition and many other areas. This experience also gives students a chance to probe subjects not covered in the classroom. Mrs. Barry, pleased with this year’s team, commented: The enthusiasm from the students this year was great. People came in for help who never showed any effort to do so before. Outstanding Mathletes this year were Freshman Jim Sievers, Sophomore Jim Mackie, Junior Mark Zona and Senior Joe Trojanowski. ABOVE. TOM LABUDA AND JENNIFER Salisbury strive for perfect papers.

The name ’'Key” stands for Kiwanis Educates Youth.” Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Service Program. It is a service organ- ized for youth, and Bloom’s chapter started about nine years ago. Key Club raises money through fund raisers like the sale of candy and other benefits. Money is raised for studies on Spastic Paralysis, Toys for Tots, Multiple Serves Community Sclerosis, Cystic Fibrosis, and the Jones Memorial Center. The club also helped to raise money for Bloom’s new track. Not every school has a Key Club in our conference. Schools that do include: Joliet West, Bloom Trail, Rich South, Rich East, Rich Central, and Crete Monee. Some schools don’t have a club because the responsibility of sponsorship is taken by the Kiwanis Club. THE KEY CLUB — Back Row: Steve Weiss. Lisa Hines, Kim Burrell, Shelly Widen, Mr. Sadus.

JIM CULL, Editor: The Broadcaster is different this year — and better in the eyes of our staff — because we’re trying to really focus upon the subjects which interest the students of Bloom and report the news which affects the students.” What an experience this year was! This year the Broadcaster tried some- thing totally new. The school purchased two computers and one remote terminal with which the staff would be able to do its own typesetting. By doing this the cost of printing the paper was cut in half. The people on the Broadcaster staff now have to deal with everything that goes into the production of a paper except the actual application of ink to paper. When asked to categorize the staff which would be faced with such a huge task, Mrs. McCallum stated: I think we have one of the best high school papers around. Bloom was one of the first high schools to have a paper.” Sophomore Journalism is the class which will prepare younger journalists for the responsibility that current Broadcaster staffers face. Sophomores are instructed in correct use of materials, news gathering, journalistic ethics and libel, while at the same time they are gaining experience by publish- ing extra magazines like the Thanksgiv- ing and Valentine’s Day issues. ABOVE: TRACY HAACK, UNDA SASS, and Karen Shirley demonstrate how working together can make the job easier.

Under the supervision of Mr. Reimler and Ms. Newkirk, the past years of plays and competition between schools have been enjoyable and suc- cessful. After the Fall play came the Thespians' Readers’ Theater competition and the New Players’ Showcase which is designed to familiarize newcomers to theater and drama. In order to become a Thespian, a student must receive ten points, one point corresponding to ten hours of work on the stage or crew. The New Players organization holds no officers because being a New Player only means that a student is interested in drama and has not yet reached Thespian status. Ms. Newkirk, sponsor of Readers' Theatre competition, was optimistic about a good year because of the tremendous talent at her disposal and the long hours which students put into their work.

If you are prepared to lead, why follow?” City of Bloom Reaching New Heights In a room full of noise, the tension begins to rise as the moment of the announcements draws nearer. Laurie Pascarella tells a joke she heard in gym class the day before and fills the room with laughter. Suddenly, the room is quiet as the microphone is brought down on the desk. The magical ding-dong is heard throughout the school as another set of announcements begin. Some people think that the second hour announcements are all student council does, but the organization’s activities consists of a great deal more. The City of Bloom, run by Mayor Laurie Pascarella, worked hard all year, averaging an event every month. Student Council members started working while most Bloom students were enjoying the last of their summer vacations. After the initial candy sale, the Student Council held several activities, beginning with the Locker Room Dance at which old and new friends could get acquainted. This was followed by Homecoming Spirit Week and the Homecoming Dance, events which took the most planning. December brought Christmas spirit week and the annual Christmas dance along with the special event held for senior citizens, called the Sweet Heart Bingo.” When asked to describe what it took to have a successful year like the one she presided over, Mayor Pascarella ob- served: Devotion, leadership, and making everything worthwhile.” RIGHT: LAURIE PASCARELLA, MAYOR OF the City of Bloom, and Marg Mculca, Commissioner, do their part in making the Locker Room Dance a success. 58 The City Of Bloom STUDENT COUNCIL COMMISSIONERS — Back Row: Kristin Dyrek, Romana Planera, Marg Mcdica.

N.H.S. is not just a group of intelligent high school studentsi it is a group of students who have the ability to try to help and improve our community. N.H.S. and Afro Club: Service, N.H.S.: Trojan Service Scholarship, character, leadership, and service are the four cardinal principles of the National Honor Society. Rendering service is the primary objective of N.H.S., the key which leads to the other cardinal principles. This year, being guides at open house, helping phone in ballots for the presidential election, answering phones at the Cerebral Palsy Telethon, collecting for the Salvation Army and Muscular Dystrophy, working on personal projects, working at the football game concession stand, the annual Poinsettia sale, and helping out at graduation were several of the projects that N.H.S. worked on. In addition to providing service, the National Honor Society took time out to do things such as entering the Afro-Club Volleyball Tournament and entering the winning banner in the Homecoming banner contest.

Afro Club Shows Pride Serving Others Black history week, the annual volleyball tournament, and the Spring talent and fashion show were just a few of the events at Bloom this year that were sponsored by the Afro Club. The group also took a five-day trip to Orlando, Florida this past summer and had a winning decorated car in the Homecoming parade. The group of approximately 35 students, sponsored by Mrs. Jackie Leeper, has been involved also with the National Association for the Advan- cement of Colored People and Act-50, a youth organization located in the south suburbs. The club strives to teach about the Black culture and to get Black students involved in the community. Said Mrs. Leeper, We also work to develop our personalities, unity, responsibility and respect, perseverance, opportunity, service and educations — these things make up our PURPOSE.

Works Toward Professionalism Fireman, billing clerk, auto repair- man, welder, and salesman are a few of the jobs performed by Bloom V.I.C.A. students after their school day ends. The members of V.I.C.A. generally leave school with early dismissal and then go to work for the evening. Students who are involved in V.I.C.A. are interested in professionalism which is involved in an industrial vocation. V.I.C.A. is not an ordinary club. To be involved members must have good attendance, good grades, and no be- havioral problems while in school. To V.I.C.A. students this club is an intense and thorough way to strive towards a better career opportunity. It involves competition from other students in related categories. Judging in these competitions is based on student performance and special qualities. Whether at work pumping gas or creating graphic arts, the members of V.I.C.A. find it an interesting organiza- tion which does not demand a lot of after school time. Many Rewards for C.W.T. Students The Cooperative Work Training Program consisted this year of thirty Junior and Senior students who were enrolled in a job-related class for one period each day along with an on-the-job training experience for at least two hours each day. Some of the goals of C.W.T. in- cluded: providing career and occupation- al information, developing an adequate basis for vocational decisions through occupationally-oriented instruction and developing positive attitudes and self- understanding. During the year the students went on field trips, simulated business activities in class, and participated in fund-raising activities and career consul- tation. An appreciation banquet for employers and parents was held at the end of the school year. C.W.T. 63 ABOVE. JASON JANKOWSKI LOOKS FOR a part at his job at the H % G Service Co. LEFT.

This group allows students an opportuni- ty to learn vocational skills in home economics which might lead to careers in personal service industries, housing, and other related fields. H.E.R.O. students learn skills through job training and compete with other students in regional, state, and national competition. Along with time spent in vocational study, H.E.R.O. students have spent time on civic activities such as fund raisers, charity work, and the Homecoming parade float. ”As a group, the students have done well in class and in preparing for the competitions they were involved in,” said Mrs. Mahone. 64 H.E.R.O. TIONNE BRADFORD: The thing I like most about H.E.R.O. is that it gives me a chance to expand my horizons by being able to go to school for one-half day and working the other half.” Even though she is totally committed to Bloom, Felicia Hollivay still finds time for her H.E.R.O. work schedule at Gingiss Formal Wear. and Industrious The Importance of O.E.A.

Cheerleading Camp: 7 was shocked when I heard them call my name11 guess all those six o’clock in the morning practices paid off.” Camp Gives Cheerleaders Winning Spirit My squad was the most talented group with good ideas, and I really enjoyed coaching them. The girls all agreed on one thing — it's hard work, but it all pays off in the end. The eight lucky girls which Mrs. Jelinek spoke of in the above quote made up this year’s award-winning Cheerleading squad. During the summer this squad went to U.S.C.A. camp at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, where they finished third out of 21 squads; Doreen Grilli finished first in the individual competition. Bloom’s entry took two firsts, one second, a spirit, and a group stunt award. Not only were the Varsity cheer- leaders successful this year, but the Sophomores were as well. This year's Sophomore Cheerleaders, sponsored by Miss Toni Austin, spent their summer mornings practicing and preparing for camp. They attended the U.C.A. camp at Northern Illinois University where they competed against thirty other squads. The girls won three superior ribbons, four excellents, one outstand- ing, and the U.C.A. Spirit Stick which is given to the most spirited squad. ABOVE. THE BLOOM CHEERLEADERS STAND and wait for the moment of the First Annual Balloon Launch.

Mrs. Mahone, sponsor of the squad, stated: There were really no outstanding individuals on the squad; they all worked together and are equally talented.” Any spectator who ever wondered about where the girls got their ideas for their routines would be amazed. The girls made up their own routines and practiced them on Tuesdays and Wed- nesdays for one hour unless they had a special performance. On Saturdays they practiced for three hours. When Mrs. Malone was asked if she could perform more, she replied: That’s a yes and no question. No, because we perform at every home football and basketball game. Yes, if we were in more contests and performing for more awards.” ABOVE-. LAURIE PASCARELLA AND CARLA Porter put all their Trojan pride into performing for the Bloom students.

SPORTS 69 Hard Work Today Will Bring Young Runners Give Slota Hope Up one hill and down another, many times through the mud, rain and heat — or autumn’s damp cold — the boys finish off the last of their many miles only to be greeted by weights or interval training. The members of the boys’ cross country team practiced under these conditions seven days a week in hopes of going downstate. Although the team lacked experienced runners, it did hope to send at least one runner downstate. Highlighting the season was Fresh- man Bob Geiger who captured a first place at the Proviso West Invitational and our own conference at the Frosh- Soph level. Following closely behind was Sophomore Jackie Bradford. They are considered gifted” athletes to watch for in the years to come. Also leading the team were George Kovach, John Balas- sone, Bret Kenmotsu, and John Koniecz- ka. The team has added many freshmen and sophomores whom Mr. Slota is training hard because he believes, The freshmen of today are the stars of tomorrow.” BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY — Back Row: Mr. Slota, George Kovach, Anthony Hernandez.

ABOVE: While Evie Silva prepares for the race, she smiles at the thought of victory. In getting off to a slow start, the girls' cross country team had much to overcome. With only four veterans, the team consisted mainly of runners who were new to the concept of long distance running. Taking over as this year’s coach, Ms. Donna Filips decided to concentrate on personal records, rather than team score. We did not have enough people or experience to run as a competitive team, said Ms. Filips. She added: Because running is an individual sport, we can use that to its advantage and personalize our workouts to each individual.” Some of the individual team leaders in times were: Tonya Meyers, Sandra COACH DONNA FILIPS: Through experience and hard work the girls should be able to reach individual goals, will be better pre- pared for the spring track season and should be ready next year to be tough and competitive. ” Ramirez, and Heather Trusty, all of whom were on the cross country team in 1983. Looking at her team, Ms. Filips conclud- ed, Although it seems like we are starting from the bottom, the girls are gradually improving.” Splashing to Victory When most Bloom Students think of swimming, they think of splashing in the hot, summer sun. When the members of this year's girls’ swim team think of swimming, they think of countless laps, grueling workouts, and exhausting races. Practices seem to get harder and harder as the days of swimming move closer to state. The divers contribute more than people give them credit for since Coach Kelley makes them swim, too, stated Trish O’Halloran, Junior breaststoker. The practices paid off in a terrific COACH KELLEY. Everyone is swimming good, morale is high, and everyone is work- ing extremely hard.” start to the season as Trojans won their first three meets.

Overcoming problems of nervousness and inexperience, this year’s Varsity Volleyball team looked great. COACH LINDA CONRAD: The attitudes of the team were super, and the team played so well together. Coach Linda Conrad stated: 'The team really worked hard this year. We were taller than past years which helped a lot with blocking and spiking. I was really surprised; they put aside all their personal differences and played as a team. Even though the team did not have the best record, it got a lot of experience out of its season. The team is really trying, but they’ve had some bad breaks,” stated Coach Madeline Ruiz about the J.V. Volleyball squad. They put a lot of effort into their practices and games, but it didn’t seem to pay off. According to Coach Ruiz, Every player has improved greatly, but their record hasn’t shown all their hard work. The whole team has really given their best. It has been a learning experience for everyone. All the players were outstanding, but Freshmen Tina Brown, Sherri Jensen, Gloria Pina, and Lisa Rose really stood out. Since they all played volleyball in junior high, they came to Bloom with more experience than others. However, said Coach Ruiz, it takes a group effort, not just individuals, to make a great team.

Coached by Mr. Anderson, they achieved their goal. The team ended the season with a 7-3-1 record, excellent considering that there were three sophomores leading the team. It was a great improvement from last year's record. Brian Spalding, a sophomore, placed seventh in the Regionals, qualifying him for the Section- als and eventual State play. COACH DALE ANDER- SON: With the three sophomores that we had on varsity this year, we have laid the groundwork for next year’s team.” Coach Anderson felt that the one thing that made this team unique was the fact that three sophomores were competing on the varsity level, along Impressive Record for Varsity Golfers with two seniors and a junior. With such a promising young team, the varsity golfers can look forward to another successful season next year. LEFT: STATE FINALIST BRIAN SPALDING tees off at Tuckaway Golf Course.

At first we weren’t doing so good, but then we started to work harder together, and everything fell into place. Having improved tremendously, both Varsity and Frosh-Soph teams began the year on the right foot. They worked hard as a team, increasing the effort, taking an interest, pulling for each other. Laurie Schultz did especially well because, as Coach Turner says, She has the most consistent and reliable strokes. The team came in third at the conference meet. COACH SCOTT TURNER: As far as meeting my goals for this season, on a scale of I-10. the Varsity team made an 8. The one area that we came up short in was the number of meets we won. I have to take the blame for that though.” Mr. Turner has been the girls’ tennis coach for eight years now. This year he had a new assistant, Miss Baader, who mainly helped the Frosh-Soph team. Coach Turner’s opinion of this was, They seemed to respond well to Ms. Baader. She did a really tremendous job.

Soccer Team The best sport in the world is what you might hear if you talked with some of the soccer players. Although this is only soccer’s third year as a sport recognized by the athletic department. Chersvonsky and Garcia feel that this has been the team’s best year. Indeed finishing with a very impressive 13-3 record is a very tremendous feat, even over last year's 9-8 record. If Coach Poppa, who was promoted to head coach and is no longer here at Bloom, was here, he would definitely be proud. One of the things that they feel makes this year special is the enormous amount of team spirit. The players go out and do their best every game - not because they feel they owe it to anyone, but because they love the sport. When asked on his outlook on next year's season Carlos Ortega stated, I feel Bloom's soccer team will never have another losing season with the talent they have. COACH SUE GARCIA: We just have to keep solid on defense. I think we’re going to be ready for them this time.” BOYS' SOCCER — Back Row: Coach Garcia, Sal Rocha, Carlos Ortega.

Soccer SI Sweat Pays Off Varsity Team Advances to State Playoffs While most Bloom students sat at home or splashed at the pool on a hot 90 degree day this past summer, the Varsity football team was out sweating, getting ready for the season ahead. Summer conditioning is the toughest thing to go through,” stated Coach Piazza. The 90 degree weather, the practicing in full uniform ... if they can make it through the summer, they’re going to be tough.” The worst part of summer practice is getting back into shape. During the summer you usually take things easy, but after doubles start, your body hurts all over for about a week,” stated Chris Adams. All the sweat and pain of summer was obviously worthwhile as the fighting Trojans started off the year on the right foot with a 27-0 drubbing of Joliet Central. Coach Piazza stated, Before the game I figured the team that scored first would have a big advantage.” Bloom did, and the momentum for the season was established. COACH JOHN PIAZZA: This year’s season was rewarding and gratifying. Rewarding in that we strived for team goals. We hope that the Seniors that are graduating have set marks for the Underclass- men coming to better.” And what a season it was as, for the first time in twenty years, the Varsity football team captured the conference championship. It seemed as though every game of the season went down to the last few minutes, but somehow the Trojans found a way to win. TOP PHOTO.

Varsity Football 83 Hard Work Now Pays Off Later Freshmen, Sophomores In spite of the ninety degree weather during the summer, the so- phomore football team began its season with a lot of hard work. There were days when they were out on the field twice a day with only an hour between practices. As Coach Mark Anderson, stated, It's all worth it when you see the kids of '87 working together. It was said before and I’ll say it again: ’they are a team of the future.”' The team worked especially hard in the areas of blocking and tackling and has managed to strengthen its weaknesses. The team had a good season this year because the players worked hard to prepare themselves for each game. Losing its game against Bloom Trail was a big disappointment, but the loss was eased by the hard work of players who kept the team going when things got tough. These outstanding individuals included: Rich Alcott, Charles Johnson, Jim Mackie, John Sanders, Kenny Schimanski, Robert Hall, and Jeff Renzetti. The team still has some raw talent which needs to be developed, but the potential is there for an outstanding future. COACH SAM PIAZZA; This year’s freshman and so- phomore teams were the best looking teams since this year's Seniors were at that level. Although Freshman coach Sam Piazza had a hard time getting the players to perform at practice, their talents and drive showed through during the games of the season. Coach Piazza feels that the job of the Freshman team is not necessarily to have a great record but, rather, to teach teamwork and unity. Coach Piazza felt that the teams which compiled records of 6-4 for the season and 4-2 in the conference for a second place finish will contribute a great deal of talent to the future Varsity teams.

There is a whole lot of talent, and we have done really well as a team.” Dedication, the motto of all three wrestling teams, and teamwork were emphasized throughout the season by Coach Ernie Thompson, who has coached Bloom wrestlers for three years. Said Coach Thompson: Dedication is the key ingredient to a winning team.” COACH ERNIE THOMPSON: My biggest satisfaction comes when athletes I have direct control over succeed in sports, academics, or life. It is my attempt to make the complete person — not just the athlete. _____ Eddie Doxy was the most improved and best performer of the season while Joe Luecke was the most consistent and the real backbone of the Varsity team. Joe’s performance is taken for granted and not really recognized, but he is our strength,” commented Coach Thompson. ABOVE: KEN THOMPSON.

We have the will to play and we play our best,” stated Senior Marie Bradford, but we just aren’t strong enough.” Coach Marilyn Anderson feels that the reason they have scored poorly is because they do not have enough experienced shooters. The main point scorers for the team have been Samone Black and Carol Johnson, both averaging twelve to fifteen points a game. The Junior-Varsity team has had a successful season despite its small number of players. Coach Turner stated, With only eight girls, there are no substitutes. It puts a lot of pressure on the girls to be in condition.” The highlight of the season came when the girls took a first place trophy at the Marian Christmas Tournament. Freshmen Karen Coleman, Kim Ellis, and Demetrice Torand and Sophomores Michelle Guy- ton, Pam Morrison, and Sue Jacobs are credited by Coach Turner for doing a really good job in keeping us in every game we have had this season.” COACH ANDERSON: The kids are learning a lot; Angie McGuire, Lisa Aprati, and Michelle Sperry should be well prepared for next year. The Freshman girls’ basketball team has had its ups and downs during the season. The team, coached by Ms. Kellie Layman, was inexperienced but the team members tried to the best of their ability. They have so far set the climate for a winning team. TOP PHOTO: CAROL JOHNSON WILL NOT let anyone stop her from gaining control of the ball. VARSITY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL — Back Row: Samone Black.

Girls’ Basketball 91 Varsity Basket- ball Rebuilds A Season of Bad The Varsity basketball team started off the year with a period of thorough training, building strength and stamina for the season. During this time the team members learned how to work with each other and tried to attain a cohesion among one another. The team went through many trials during the season, sometimes losing games by only a few points. COACH NARDIs The im- portant thing is that they tried their hardest. Some- times intangibles are gained in a season like we've had and only time will tell what we have learned from it.” The team seemed to get stronger as the season progressed, but still it seemed to lack that certain chemistry needed by good teams in such a rigorous sport in which teamwork is everything.

The Freshman and Sophomore teams have been encouraged to do their best, but the win-loss records are not as important as the fundamentals gained. These players, said to be possible contenders for regionals and sectionals” when they reach that point, could be key factors in a basketball comeback at Bloom.

Each swimmer on this year’s team was dedicated and hard working even to the point of attending 6:30 a.m. practices. Obviously these practices and the practices again after school paid off. COACH KELLEY: The team has improved significantly over previous teams, and this improvement gives op- timism for the future of our swimming program The team did exceptionally well in both the Conference and the Sectional meets. Matt Fewkes said of the success: Swimming is a lot of hard work, and the practices take a lot out of you, but it’s all worth it when you see your times improve at each meet.” Although the team has greatly developed its skill this year, Assistant Coach Johnson still feels that there is room for improvement in the future.

Principal of Bloom High School Year Long Study Evaluates Bloom For George Orwell 1984 was the year of Big Brother watching.” For Bloom High School 1984 began a school year of formal evaluation and study which occurs every seven years. Conducted by the North Central Association of Schools, a long established association to which accredited schools belong, the evaluation of Bloom involved three stages of study. First, there was the self-study, conducted by each department. Then came the observation of Bloom by a visiting committee which reads the self-evaluation report and then observes the school. Finally, there comes a follow-up of the recommendations suggested by the departments and the North Central Committee. Mrs. Mary Jean Meulbroek, Bloom counselor and head of the Bloom North Central steering committee, commented about the process: The study helps good schools become better. We get a chance to see what doesn't work and improve upon what does.” ABOVE LEFT: Mrs. Diana L. Oldenburg, Assistant Principal. ABOVE: Mr. Chester A. Bud” Pulaski, Jr., Assistant Principal.

In looking at his philosophy of teaching, Mr. Andersen stated: I wanted every student to believe that he or she has great potential; that the discovery and development of one’s talents is a life-long task. Fulfillment in life comes as one uses his abilities in the service of others.” This is the quality that made him a favorite with students. Mr. Andersen and his wife, Ruth, plan on an active retirement. They will travel, study, and look for new areas of service. ”My treasury of countless happy classroom memories will sustain me in the coming years,” says Mr. Andersen.

She has seen a lot of changes here, and one highlight for her has been the development of the Humanities pro- gram in Bloom's English department along with her opportunity to teach Humanities classes. After her retire- ment this Spring, Mrs. Fieroh says, I plan to travel, write on a freelance basis, and,” she added with a laugh, sleep!” Congratulations and thank-you to Mrs. Fieroh for twenty years of service and loyalty to Bloom High School.

I feel very good, and I suppose I’ll look for another type of work. Dr. Franco’s classes contained more than just Spanish lessons. Stories about his days as a lawyer in Cuba and such subjects would keep students interested while they were learning a new language. MR. BUSH INSTRUCTS AL Hale. Jr. on the use of a metal lathe.

Acting, to her, is: a chance to escape reality-, to be someone you know you can’t be.” Over the summer of 1984 Miss Newkirk participated in summer stock theater at Fort Ridgely State Park in Minnesota where she performed in numerous plays and acted in a variety of roles. One of the plays which she performed in was the Broadway hit, Annie. In this production she portrayed the character of Lily. Miss Newkirk especially enjoys working at Bloom with characterization and choreography for the Fall play and the musical. She also gets a lot of satisfaction from her work with the Readers’ Theatre program.

Having the skill since high school and refining it in college, Mr. Piaskowy has used it to entertain thousands while winning many talent shows. Mr. Piaskowy has been training hard to break the world mile joggling” record in a race that combines running and juggling. He thought he had the record at one point with a five minute, twelve second mile, but a University of Wisconsin student came along and broke that record. Juggling is an instructional tool for Mr. Piaskowy who says, It shows the student that with something that appears as complicated as juggling does — if you break it down step by step — it is a fairly simple skill to attain.” Mr. James Piaskowy Mr. John Piazza Mr. Michael Pohlman Mr. Neil Pomerenke Mr. Lonnell Poole Mrs. Marie Pressendo Mrs. Marshall Rayon Mr. John Reimler Mr. Roland Rose Mr. William Ruphard Mrs. Jane Rusin Mr. Daniel Rusk 110 Faculty MR.

No Problems in Democracy Chicago Heights Honors Commissioner Sadus One of the people responsible for the good fortune of Chicago Heights receiving Chicago water was Bloom’s own Mr. Eugene Sadus, Commissioner of Streets and Alleys for Chicago Heights. In this position Mr. Sadus is responsible for the maintenance of 95 miles of streets and alleys. Mr. Sadus has been in the job since 1975 when Mayor Panici chose him while starting his political party at that time. As Commissioner, Mr. Sadus likes to see ideas take shape and get accom- plished such as picking up garbage twice a week instead of just once. He said that the most rewarding experience of his career has been upgrading the Depart- ment of Streets and Alleys so that it can serve the public better. Mr. Sadus stated that to be a good politician one needs a good personality, an ability to talk to people, to tell the truth, and to take criticism.

From that moment, she has done modeling work off and on for the enjoyment of the experience. Through the years her second career has provided many enjoyable moments and a few embarrassing ones, one of which occurred when she was asked to model a bathing suit. When she saw the picture in the paper, she thought: Oh my God! All the students at Bloom will start talking about me! Mrs. Sell’s husband, Veryl, is a referee for both basketball and football. He was almost a pro, but he suffered an arm injury, and some years later served as head football coach at Bloom. Mr. Sell is also a guest speaker at many sports clinics. Mr. and Mrs. Sell — now there is a couple of talented people who love their work. 112 Faculty Wegrzyn, Zuidema Tie the Knot An Occupied Seat, an Umbrella, and Love On Saturday, February 9, 1985 Miss Donna Wegrzyn and Mr. Greg Zuidema. both teachers at Bloom, were married at Salem United Church of Christ. The two met at a Bloom football game in October of 1983. Miss Wegrzyn, who had a certain seat that she always sat in, found her seat occupied by Mr. Zuidema. Determined to sit in that seat. Miss Wegrzyn simply shoved him over. When it started to rain, Mr. Zuidema, who doesn’t hold a grudge but does carry an umbrella, offered Miss Wegrzyn a bit of shelter and thus began a long and beautiful relationship. In the months that followed, the two teachers spent much of their time together. On one such occasion — a trip to Wyoming to visit Mr. Zuidema's brother — a severe snow storm forced them to spend three days locked up in the house. The storm eventually caused the entire state of Wyoming to shut down. When asked what each liked about the other, the new Mrs. Zuidema replied that Mr. Zuidema was sensitive to her feelings, has a good sense of humor, gets along well with her family, has the same values as she does, and that they are really happy together. Mr. Zuidema’s answer to the same question was, Everything.” LEFT: MRS. THOMAS MAKES A point to a parent as she conducts business on Parents' Open House.

The students, who are sent there for many reasons, including truancy, stay as long as it takes them to get back on the right track. This is only the third year that the school has been in operation, and it has come a long way. The school has many extra-curricular activities, including student council, cheerleaders, basketball, softball and volleyball.

This excitement and vitality has certainly contributed a great deal to the pride which students feel in their school. Decorating a car for Homecoming, making a slogan contest and perform- ing in the Homecoming assembly were only some of the activities that the class members have participated in this year. One of the biggest events of the year came when class members sang at a nursing center for people who couldn’t get out for the holidays. Freshmen also could be seen selling sweatsuits, and soon Trojan pride popped up on the chests and legs of many Bloom students as 300 people purchased articles of clothing from the Class of '88. In looking at his class. Freshman Albert Zander said: I think this is the best class in Bloom because everybody gets involved in the activities. Pride and energy must go hand-in-hand because the Freshman class certainly has both.

Never before would one have thought that two toned jeans, fluorescent shirts and socks, and parachute pants would take the place of the traditional sweatshirt or Shetland sweater with jeans outfit. Until now a person couldn't leave his house wearing today’s fashions without fearing embar- rassment or being declared an outcast by his peers. Many of today's new looks are inspired by the pop music which today’s teenagers worship. Michael Jackson, Boy George, Madonna and Duran Duran have all contributed to today's fashion scene by teenagers imitating their idol’s style of dress. Many of today’s teenagers not only imitate clothing styles, but they also copy fashionable hairstyles and ways of wearing make-up. The time has come where it is acceptable for both males and females to wear make-up to enhance the look of an outfit. This year, as in years past, fads and changes in fashion have come and gone. As long as there are easily impressionable teenagers, this will probably hold true. BELOW LEFT: WITH THE POISE OF a model, Kenny Thompson sports the G.Q. look.

Although Dina got her start in gymnastics when she was seven-years-old, she never had the chance to participate on a team until she came to Bloom. Although the gymnastics team keeps her busy, she has other pursuits which occupy her time during the off-season. For one thing, Dina went to the Sectional Swimming meet for her performance as a diver. In addition to her sports proficiency, she prides herself in being a good student. During her first quarter at Bloom she made the Flonor Roll. Dina looks forward to the rest of her high school career at Bloom which will allow her to contribute in all of the ways she is contributing now as well as to the many opportunities which she will have to contribute in other ways in the future. 124 Freshmen Shelley Hillyer Samuel Hinkle Robert Hodgson David Hochimer Billy Holiday Eric Hollis Lonnie Hollis Gerald Horne Nicole Howell Tracy Humes Sherri Hutcherson Hong Huynh Danellia Hutchison Arnold laconi Troy Ivy Carola Jackert Alexis Jackson Deborah Jackson Ernetta Jackson Flanard Jackson Renita Jackson Roshonda Jackson Verlee Jackson Dionne James Thomas James Lynette Janac Kimberly Jeffrey Robert Jeffrey Lisa Jendrasek Sherri Jensen Darren Johnson Diann Johnson Kellie Johnson Lamont Johnson Ruther Johnson Tarsha Johnson Tracey Johnson Angeline Jones Brenda Jones Henry Jones Paul Jordan Brian Joseph Kenny Joseph Alfred Jurgenson Jeffrey Kabaj Helen Karwowski Dawn Kaszubski Lakisa Kennedy Robert Kennedy Kara Kersh Cutrice Keyes Jeffrey Klos Edward Knaack Michael Koester Nancy Koite Kim Kokas Mary Konieczka Lance Koonce Charles Kysilka Andrea LaBelle Rita LaDere Christopher LaMorte Tia Lamparelli Freshmen 125 Gilbert Leal Dwayne Lee Joseph Leli Pablo Leon Wyatra Leonard Jennifer Levy Cathy Lewis Clifton Lewis Samuel Lewis John Lightfoot Lisa Limas Patrick Lindsey Karen Ljubas Nathaniel Lloyd Cedric Long Kimberly Long Daniel Lopez Michelle Lopez Nico Lopez Sophia Lopez Mark Lustig Doug Luzzi Leisa Lyons Christopher Machen Corey Mack Veronica Macklin Vanessa Madden Katrina Maddox Anthony Magnabosco Nancy Magnabosco Carnell McGruder Darnell McGruder Joseph Mancini Tamaara Mannie Thomas Mansell Jacquelyn Margraff Christopher Marnell Dina Marnell Elester Marr Debbie Marthaler Cheryl Martin Michael Martinez Olivia Martinez Salvador Martinez Kathy Marzo Kimberly Marzo Sonja Mason Mario Massacci Sherrod McClendon Angela McDowell Rhonda McElroy Chandra McGinnis Shari McKinley David McNeal Samantha McNeal Thom Meekma Alma Mendez Ana Mendoza Michelle Miller Ed Minahan Richard Miranda Robert Mischke Anthony Mitchell 126 Freshmen CHERYL GREEP STRETCHES AS she gets ready for another race.

He got started in wrestling in the fourth grade after his mom took him and his brother to a wrestling practice, and he thought that the sport looked like fun. In the eighth grade Rob took fourth place in state wrestling competition. Such success makes all of the difficult and strenuous work in this sport worthwhile, and Rob says: It is sometimes hard to take practices, losing weight, and all the running, but I enjoy wrestling because of the feeling of personal achievement and the enjoyment I get from the competition.” Rob, who also does well scholastically, has made the high honor roll during his first year at Bloom. 128 Freshmen THE FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS give the camera a friendly wave during the first of many Homecoming parades.

She says that she has already found that the way she schedules her day is very important to the development of the kind of study habits she needs to succeed. 132 Freshmen Albert Zander Patricia Zomparelli James Zube Pamela Wylie Anthony Yacono Lynne Yambor Carlos Young Jon Young Shanell Young Lorenzo Zambrano The following members of the Class of 1988 were unable, for one reason or another, to have their photographs available for display in the Freshman Class section of the yearbook.

A bake sale at Chicago Heights' 92nd Birthday Party, a Sophomore Christ- mas assembly, Valentine’s Day Candy- grams, and the annual Mouth-a-thon were all fundraisers which were conducted by the Sophomore class. Profits were used for Sophomore activities and the needy of the Chicago Heights area. A large part of the treasury will be used for next year’s Prom. The class members also performed a skit at the Homecoming assembly and entered a winning decorated truck in the Homecoming parade. Stated Mrs. Marin, Our officers were very hard-working, and I enjoyed working with them. Thanks to both the officers and the other Sophomores who have faithfully come out to help, this has been a very rewarding year! 134 Sophomores the Class of 1987 The Sophomore CHERYL BONANDER.

Prince continued to gain popularity because of his hit movie and album, Purple Rain, called by many critics the best movie about a rock singer to come along in a long time. Vet, many wonder if the sexy singer and dancer could even be more popular if not for the competition provided by Michael Jack- son. Michael Jackson remained a favorite in 1984, with the release of the Victory” album which he and his brothers recorded. The group also held the Victory Tour which performed fifty-five concerts in twenty cities. Although there was much controversy over the price and sale of tickets, the tour was a success and over two million fans walked away from the concerts, satisfied. While Prince and Michael Jackson were shy and modest with the media and their fans in 1984, Bruce Springsteen became more accessible. He made two videos, Dancing in the Dark,” and Born in the U.S.A., and his new album, Born in the U.S.A.,” sold nearly five million copies by the end of 1984. He had a roaring concert tour which sold out forty-seven nights in sixteen cities, ending a busy year.

She has been a member of Bloom’s band, a flag girl, a volleyball, basketball and softball player, and she is a Sophomore class officer. Beside being in all of these activities, she has also kept her grades up, making the honor roll every quarter. She says that she feels good about being involved in school because she likes to meet new people. Hopefully, one day I'll benefit from the activities I’ve been in. I really believe that students should get involved in activities at Bloom because they can make a lot of friends and because they are doing something for their school, not just for themselves, says Lisa. 140 Sophomores Sherry Mackey James Mackie Traci Mair Anthony Malvestuto Michael Mancha Michelle Mancini Robin Martin Dawn Martinez Yolanda Martinez Dawn Mash Kimberly McCree Stacy McCrory Byron McDonald Preston McHenry Shelly McKeethern Paula McMath Christopher McMillian Tammie McNease Robert Medendorp James Migliorati Michelle Miller Sandra Miller Cory Milton Laura Minelli Kelly Mitchell David Modzelewski Denise Montgomery Tomi Montgomery Henry Moore Orlando Moore Rosa Morales Ronald Morgan John Morris Pamela Morrison Fabian Morton Paul Morton Matthew Mowinski Carrie Mrozek Victoria Mueller Edwin Muldrow Antrice Murray Lisa Mustonen MISSY CIARROCCHI AND CYNTHIA ALVAREZ practice the very intricate process of weighing air in their chemistry class.

As Shaunne's words would indicate, the Junior class achieved many goals during the course of the year. Its active members helped with the class fund-raising campaign which included a Homecoming mum sale, a candy cane sale, and a Valentine's day flower sale. The Junior class also sponsored an Anti-Lung Cancer Program, a Cabin Fever Dance, a Record Raffle and the Prom which, of course, includes the Prom assembly. The Junior class was sponsored by Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Lorenz.

I am seriously considering college cheerleading.” She got started in cheerleading by watching her sister who was a cheerleader, and she promised herself that she would try it when she was of age.

The Cubs, Bulls, and Bears have changed not only Chicagoland people, but the whole nation's attitude toward these now famous teams. The Cubs had a great season and for the first time in 39 years won their division title. Ryne Sandburg and Rick Sutcliffe, two of the outstanding players on the team, won the Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards respectively while Manager Jim Frey won the award for the Manager of the Year, all of which topped off their great year. The Bulls were a much improved basketball team in 1984-1985. One of the reasons was because of rookie Michael Jordan who has greatly helped the team and is fast on his way to becoming one of the top players in the NBA. The Bears, led by their league leading defense, won the division title for the first time in 2 years. Walter Payton added another great moment to the season when he passed up Jim Brown’s previous record to set a new all-time rushing record. With all of our teams coming out of hibernation, we can only hope that they will continue to gain respect and make Chicago proud. 154 Junior Feature The Year In Sports Finally, a New Tradition BRINGS US A WINNER BELOW: MICHAEL JORDAN IS KNOWN for being able to dunk” the ball while Matt Fewkes is known for always dunking other teammates.

Becoming a member of the Broadcaster was important to her because, as Dawn puts it: I’ve always wanted to be a writer and journalism just fits right in. I love working on the paper.” As Dawn began her Junior year at Bloom, she was ranked number one in her class. In terms of class rank ... before we came to Bloom, they told us you had to work from the very start to get your grade point average where you wanted it. The thought just always stuck with me,” says the modest Dawn Levy when evaluating the causes for her success at Bloom. 156 Juniors Paul Stovall: A Dramatic High School Career Besides being involved as the Par- liamentarian in Bloom’s student government, Paul Stovall uses a lot of his free time, working with drama.

By working hard and keeping his grades up, Paul hopes to attend Northwestern University to study acting.

We didn't know where we were going or where any of our classes were. It was a giant step from our previous schools, but this step led to four years of great moments. This was the year DePaul University played at Bloom in basketball, and Dr. James Steckel retired after thirty three years. Not only was Bloom full of events, but all around us things were happening. In England Lady Diana and Prince Charles were married while in the U.S. baseball players were on strike. Freshman year was full of excitement, but that was only the beginning. Sophomore year began. We started off the year with a new principal, Mr. Ronald Patton, and on February 28, 1983, Bloom was finally recognized as a Historic Landmark. Both varsity basket- ball teams made it to regionals, and towards the end of the year, a dedication took place. On June 6 the library was dedicated to Dr. James Steckel for thirty three years of service and loyalty. This was also the year that famous groups such as Duran Duran and Culture Club began coming from England to the United States. 1983-84 was perhaps our turning point in High School. It was time to start thinking about our future and begin setting some new goals. However, this didn't stop ''Bloom Life”! The boys’ varsity basketball team went to regionals for its second year in a row, and even the A’Cappella Choir went to Regionals in Iowa. This was also the year that punk and new wave began to invade the halls. Finally, it was Senior Year, our last year here at Bloom High School, and the Senior Class has really shown its spirit. After three years of trying to win that Spirit Jug, the Seniors finally got it. While Reagan was busy getting elected again, Bloom’s football team was striving to keep winning, with a total conference record of 6-0. All of these experiences were great, and will never be forgotten, but we have more things to experience and more memories yet to make, as we leave from HEIGHTS to HORIZONS. How do you think you have changed since your first day of school? Jody Spuhler. I’m not as shy as I used to be.” Roger Garcia Have I changed? Tracy Haack. I have learned a lot about life. I have also gained a lot of knowledge. Paul Pascarella. Now I can face the problems of growing up. I’m leaving Bloom with confidence in myself and what I’m capable of doing. Lori Naccarato. I can write a lot neater now. 180 Seniors TOP PHOTO: LORI NACCARATO AND MARG Medica try not to spill the paint on their dresses.

For the class of 1985, however, it is the end of a long, hard journey that began on that uncertain and frightening first day of kindergarten in the Fall of 1972. It is a time that the Seniors have always looked forward to, yet, it always seemed to be so far in the future. Thirteen years have been spent in preparation for it, but now that graduation is finally here, and we ask ourselves, Where did it all go?” BELOW: JIM WOLFRAMSK! PLAYS TEACHER for a day.

A Search for Something Over the Horizon We have spent our lives preparing for a long road that will take us our whole lives to find the end of. Looking back, we remember homework, tests, essays, quizzes, final exams ... dances, plays, football games, lunch hour, and the relief of making it to summer vacation one more time. These experiences — some we will remember forever, some we'd rather forget — have all taught us lessons in friendship, pride, loyalty, love, and life. They have all helped to prepare us for a future on our own. Now, we are ready to take that uncertain first stop — to aim higher and reach farther than ever before — and begin to soar on our own, from HEIGHTS TO HORIZONS. 206 Epilogue BELOW: ANDREA BERTRAND AND DEE DEE PARIS practice smiling before going out on the floor.

A book compiled of precious memories - both good and bad - which students of today can open tomorrow, and relive their high school days. Memories of the unforgettable which children of their own may experience. Upon finishing this book, I would like to thank our staff for all the time, effort, and dedication that it has put into their work. Even though the deadlines seemed impossible at times, we finally accomplished our goal: to publish a book. In between these pages are the minds of twenty-two creative students, and one super-duper” Mr. B. There is only one word to express my appreciation towards Mr. Barth- olomew, for his never ending patience and hard work, and that is Thanksl” I would also like to acknowledge Walsworth Publishing Company, and Root Photographers, for their beautiful work they have put into these pages. Without them, this book would not have been possible. It is said that your high school days are the best days of your life, and in this yearbook we have been able to prove this. 208 WALS WORTH PUBLISHING COMPANY MARCKUN'K. MISSOURI «««� � H IWi The Spring Supplement 209 Bloom Varsity Baseball Juniors Strengthen Varsity Team Compared to the five and nineteen record last year, this year’s Varsity coach hoped to see a .500 season. We hope to have good weather to get all the games in, and most of all we hope the grades remain good for eligibility reasons,” stated Coach Dino Fiocca. The team's major obstacle was its lack of pitchers. Only one senior, Bob Pettigrew, returned to the pitching rota- tion. Two junior pitchers, Tim Meinhart and Chuck Miller, moved up as well as sophomore Mario Giannetta, who has a good chance of making All-Conference eventually. Two outstanding players this season were Dennis Winder and Steve Bell. Both outfielders have been recommended to the St. Louis Cardinals by Coach Fiocca because of their outstanding attitude and ability. A third outstanding player for the team was Maurice Brown. This year’s season has been success- ful in many respects. The team had an improved attitude toward the game. Also, the team members had very good games; the losing efforts still resulted in chal- lenges to the team's opponents. There is a good outlook for next year because the juniors, players who make up a majority of the team, also make up the strongest parts of the team—catcher, pitcher, and centerfielder. The experience the players got will make for a stronger season next year. TOP PHOTO: ’’BLOOM'S PRIDE IS INSIDE the dugout as the Varsity baseball team gets ready to take the field.

' l 212 Baseball Frosh, Sophs Work Together Krueger: They represent our school very, very well. 'The team works well together. They can execute and get along, which is very important,” stated Coach Isaac, Sopho- more coach. This season was much more successful than in years past. Toward the end of the season the team was winning most of its games. Overall skills were good, and the only thing the players needed to improve on was their defense. Those who helped make it a successful season were Rusty Horton, Edwin Mul- drow, and John Sanders. The freshman team started off its Bloom baseball career with a winning attitude. The team worked very well as a unit. The players also listened very well to all instructions given to them, executing well. They were a very mature group and adhered to the team concept. Their starting pitching was very talented-, how- ever, the defense had to execute to keep them in the games until the hitting came along. Outstanding players were Derrick Carlson, Dave Dudzinski, Joe Pedraza, Tony Yacono, and Albert Zander. Coach Krueger expressed his attitude about the team by stating, Above all, I feel that as a group they have a great deal of pride in themselves and in Bloom. They represent our school very, very well. Baseball 213 ___________________________________Lady Trojans Damiani Makes All-Conference With new uniforms and a new influx of talent, the Bloom varsity softball team had high hopes, entering the spring season. This year’s team was dedicated, with pitchers and catchers practicing in the morning and then joining the rest of the team after school for a hard workout. When asked what the attitude of the team was, Mr. King said, They realize their potential. All they have to do is get to work on it, and they're willing to do that.” With Lisa Aprati, Kris Jendrasek, and Trina Scheihing contributing, Coach King believes that there was more depth in pitching. Mary Damiani, with a .545 batting average, led the team in hitting. Other top hitters included Sue Erikson and Carolyn Rose, with batting averages of .269 and .263 respectively. Coach King got involved with girls' softball because, I love the sport of softball, and I like being a part of the coaching strategies in the game.” Mr. King expected a good year. His last words about the spirit of the team were, They are not quitters!” TOP PHOTO: COACH KING HAS A few laughs while Trish O'Halloran scoops the ball and prepares to taping Sue Erikson's ankle before the game.

The one thing I was looking for during this year’s tryouts was a good attitude, and all of the girls on the team have it. This helped to make my coaching easier.” When asked how the team had improved since last year, Coach Anderson said that the hitting and pitching was better. This was partly because the pitchers and catchers worked out before school in addition to the practice after school. This hard work and dedication showed through in their play during the season. Leading hitters on the team included Kelly Boyd, Lara Deabel, Christy Rost, and Laura Szpejnowski. Laura Szpejnowski was also strong in pitching. With half of the team made up of freshmen, the players can look forward to more of the same hard work next year. r ABOVE: LAURA SZPEJNOWSKI RELEASES the ball as the opponent breaks for home.

Mrs. Ruiz, the varsity coach commented, Even though the team had only ten days of practice before its first game, it did excellently!” The year’s biggest setback was the inexperience of the team, a group which had only one returning player, senior Chris Orfanos. She did an outstanding job for the team this season. Other outstand- ing individuals were Cindy Desable and Leanne Janac, who placed sixth in the invitational tournament.

Although this was Mr. Turner’s first year of coaching the boys’ tennis team, he enjoyed working with the team members and is planning on coaching again next year when he will know his players better. Some of the things that Coach Turner and Coach Baader, the J.-V. coach, worked on over the season were: weight training, running, and various tennis skills. Coach Turner said that his goal for the end of the year was to have each player improve his game by 50 to 75 percent while building within each player a ’’killer instinct. During the course of the year the team had many close defeats, ending up with a record of 2 and 10 for the varsity and a record of 5 and 7 for the sopho- mores. The J.-V. team finished third overall in the conference while the varsity posted a fifth place conference finish. Mr. Turner stated that his ideal player would consist of Rod Hawkins' hustle, Paul Stovall's serve, Spiro Poulos’ steadiness from the baseline, Tony Dun- can’s desire, Mike Jackert’s shotmaking, and Paul Cellini’s and Tony Roberts' toughness. Key players for the J.-V. team were Jackie Barton, Eric Schassburger, and Joe Panici. BOYS' VARSITY TENNIS — Back Row: Tony Roberts. Mike Jackert.

The team was outstanding as it set three records this year. James Coleman set a record for the 300 low hurdles with a time of 37.49 seconds. Also setting a new record was Ron Ruffin in the high jump as he jumped 6' $}A . The 400 meter relay team also broke a record with a time of 42.2 seconds. At the Hinsdale Invitational the sea- son’s highlight occurred as the Bloom squad took first place, beating Evanston, a perennial state powerhouse. Helping in this victory, along with many others during the season were outstanding indi- viduals John Balassone, James Coleman, Joe Labuda, Ron Ruffin, Kelly Williams, Jimmy Walker and Derrick Walker. Der- rick, who served as one of the team captains, felt that the team had a lot of potential. He stated: This is a young team with a few upperclassmen who have come a long way. Through hard work and dedication of each individual, we could take a place as a team in the state track meet.” BOYS’ VARSITY TRACK — Back Row: Mark Zona, Ron McElroy, Bob Geiger. Tony Hernandez.

Boys’ Track 221 On The Right Track Injuries Can’t stop These Trojans! We've had so much potential on this team, but there were so many obstacles that we had no control over this year.” said Ms. Donna Filips, girls’ track coach. The girls had a rough start in the begin- ning of the track season. Almost half the team suffered injuries during the season. Attitudes have been terrific despite what we have gone through,” stated Coach Filips. Outstanding performances were exhibited by Angela Williams, Stephanie Roberts and the 880-relay team. which was composed of Angie Phillips, Frances Phillips, Stephanie Roberts, and Angela Williams. Also important to the 880-relay team was Kim Petty, who filled in for injured runners. Overall, Ms. Filips feels that the freshmen and sophomores have benefi- ted from the setbacks that plagued the team this year because as freshmen and sophomores they have gained varsity experience, filling in for injured runners.

From 8-11:00 p.m. Bloom students were able to stroll, twist, and shout to music from the 1950’s and early I960's. In addition to sponsoring the dance, Student Council also sponsored contests to complete the 50’s atmosphere present that evening. By holding the best dres- sed, the brightest lips, the best D.A., and the best dancing couples contests, stu- dents were able to become actively involved with the 50’s spirit,” said Com- missioner Romana Planera, These con- tests are traditional and students always seem to look forward to them” All these elements combined for a nifty night for all those who swivelled their hips and smeared their lips to the tunes in Bloom’s cafeteria.

We overcame a lot of unexpected obstacles that showed up in our early competitions, and stuck by each other right until our final victories and our trip downstate,” commented Peter Annis, who played the part of Jem in Bloom’s most successful contest group interpretation ever, To Kill A Mockingbird. Other cast members were Paul Sto- vall as Mr. Tate Tom Robinson, Steve Guillermo as Dill Boo Radley Bob Ewell, Mary Brackman as Mayella, Troy Moore as Atticus, Amy Stansberry as Jean Louise, and Cheryl Bonander as Scout. The obstacles that the group encoun- tered were bad weather, which kept them from a January invitational in Peoria, and illnesses of cast members, including Mary Brackman who got pneumonia and was replaced by Yolanda Androzzo for three contests. At their first invitational at Thorn- wood, the group did not place in the top three, but Peter Annis and Paul Stovall were named outstanding readers. The cast proved, however, that it could overcome its slow start, and they worked to make the show an unprece- dented success. The cast members re- ceived a first-place plaque at the regional competition at T. F. South, and Troy Moore and Paul Stovall were specifically recognized. Sectionals followed at Thorn- ton, where they placed second to last year's state champs, and Paul Stovall was named All-Sectional cast member. This led to the state competition at Millikin Uni- versity in Decatur, which was a first for Bloom’s drama department. The group finished off the season one month later at an invitational at Purdue- Calumet, where they were unanimously voted first place by all three judges. Cheryl Bonander and Peter Annis re- ceived special recognition for outstand- ing performances.

The play centered around Lizzie Curry, portrayed by Beth Hamlin, a character who believes that no one will ever love her until Starbuck, portrayed by Paul Stovall, comes into Lizzie's rain-starved town and changes her mind. Pretending to be a rainmaker, Star- buck cons the townspeople while he convinces Lizzie to believe in herself. Finally he asks her to run away with him in his fantasy world. Sheriff File, played by Doug Williamson, shocks everyone when he reveals that he has loved Lizzie all of the time and that she must decide between staying with him or leaving with Starbuck for his fantasy world. John Zager and Linda Sass portrayed the young lovers Jim Curry and Snookie Updergraff, providing many laughs. The director was Mr. Reimler, the stage manager was John Nieberle, and the technical director was Mrs. Okoniewski, all of whom worked hard to help make this production one to remember.

Mr. Anderson is Guest Speaker National Honor Society inductions weren’t quite the same thirteen years ago as they are today. The ceremony, then held on Sunday, inducted rougly 200 students. There were so many names to read that it left no time for the elaborate ceremony held today. Of course, in those days Bloom had over 5000 students. The scene was different this year as on April 24 twenty-five Senior and fifteen Junior inductees each lit a candle and received a charm, medallion, certificate, and membership card. A new tradition was started this year as all Junior induc- tees were also awarded an academic letter. Among those who spoke at the ceremony were Miss Byrd, Dr. Carrabine, Mr. Patton, Spiro Poulos, and several other N.H.S. members. Mr. Andersen, guest speaker, said, I have enjoyed the oppor- tunity to challenge students and to make them curious. I wanted them to widen their view of the world so that they would perceive the grand possibilities open to them if they use their talents fully. Miss Byrd became sponsor of the National Honor Society in 1972 after the previous sponsor had given up the job. When asked how she liked it she replied, I enjoy it and I like working with the kids. The hardest part of my job is deciding who will and will not make N.H.S. Her last thoughts were, It’s lots of work and fun!” ABOVE: DAWN LEVY MODESTLY ACCEPTS her certificate from Chris Wiencek and Kim Trammell.

It was the best, and the highest class Broadway style Prom As- sembly we have ever put on. Despite what everyone says, we did not get our ideas from Solid Gold,” said Mr. Richardson, co- sponsor of the Junior Class. While the prom assembly was daz- zling, the actual prom night was more than could be expected. A night of romance, filled with glamour and excitement,” might be the words chosen by students who attended this year’s prom. One would have never guessed that these people wearing tuxedos and formal gowns were the same students who dined in Bloom's cafeteria. While some were Lost in Love”, others went as just friends and had the time of their lives on the dance floor. Showbiz” played a variety of music which kept the Villa de Bruno hoppin’ all night. As the clock struck eleven there was the crowning of a new Prom queen. It was time for Carla Porter to remove her crown and give Doreen Grilli the title of Prom Queen”. Prom was truly a night to remember, but at twelve o’clock Prom was over and it was time for post-Prom to begin.

Some students worked at the graduation passing out programs and trying to keep people out of main areas. But up in McCann gym, a different kind of tension was building. Hundreds of graduates were running around hugging their friends and thanking God they made it out of high school. A few minutes later they entered the fieldhouse and took their seats. The ceremony began and the chorus sang a few songs. After the diplomas were received, We Are The World was sung by a combined chorus of Bloom students. People wonder who will make it and who won’t, but the class of 1985 is a special breed, for there probably wasn’t a quitter among them. They are the ones who will know right from wrong. They are the ones who will make a difference. They ... are the world. TOP PHOTO: ANGELA KOWALSKI AND ANTHONY Krabbe wait to sit down after receiving their diplomas.
