Great anticipation began to build as students waited in line for their ticket.

Well, in 1986 the jinx was broken and the Bears, “the monsters of the mid- way,” pounded the New England Patriots, 46-10, in the Super- bowl. On January 20 the Challenger shuttle exploded shortly following launch and seven crew members, including the first teacher in space, were killed. Tragedies connected with ter- rorism were prevalent during the summer. An American ser- viceman was killed when a TWA jet departing from Athens was hi- jacked. Later in the summer The Achille Lauro, an Italian luxury liner, was hijacked by Palestinian terrorists and one American was murdered. On the lighter side, entertainer Bruce Springsteen sang “Born in the USA” to sellout audiences on a national tour.

You become a part of the action taking place on the screen. Some of the organizations tell a tale of heart-rendering satisfaction for providing food for those less fortunate. The gift of blood (life) is the concern of another group call- ed to action. Red and white pom pons vibrating in the breeze and screams of “Beat ‘Em,” call other organizations to action. Spirit can bring most crowds to their feet. Participating in contests, other groups explore how they measure up. They know that sensation of standing alone on the screen with only their talent serving as a support. Clubs provided a ticket to action and an opportunity to work with others. Ticket tc Clubs Clubs Division 59 Honor groups add members On your honor? “Making the grade” was a requirement for membership in both Quill and Scroll Society and National Honor Society.

In the spring senior Patti Wachowski received the Post- Tribune “Most Valuable Staffer” award. Sophomore Susan Farler, member of the yearbook staff, was the Hammond Times “Most Valuable Staffer.” Financial woes forced the year- book staff to alter the size of the ’86 book. The book changed from 8 1 2 inches by 11 inches to 7 3 4 inches by 10 1 2 inches. The Chieftain contains 8 pages of ac- tivity color and 12 pages of senior color, paid for by the Class of ’86. d: Sophomores Steve Potosky and Susan Farler make signs for the sales campaign of the 1986 yearbook.

Indiana Health Occupations Students of America (I-HOSAJ sponsored the Candlelight Reflections Turnabout Dance. Members also gave assistance to the Red Cross during their an- nual blood drive at CHS.

Emotion-packed sequences of football, basketball, volleyball and tennis provide frenzied moments for the audience. The cast of players is filled with villains and heroes. The Warrior spirit prevails, and you just know that these “good guys” will win in the end. Like the swashbuckling heroes of old, the Warriors demonstrate their daring-do against opponents. Their larger than life exploits are applauded by the crowds of scr eaming admirers. Each moment of the melodrama is played out.

Although there were gaps in the line, especially in in- hospitable climates, the spirit of those participating was high. Par- ticipants made donations of $10 or more to reserve their place in line. All donations were used by the USA Africa committee to help organizations help the American hungry and homeless. Student Council and other CHS organizations sponsored a number of students participating in the project. a: Clowns entertain Northwest Indiana participants. d: A Hammond couple exchange wedding vows while standing in the Hands Across America line. c: Northwest Indiana residents line Fourth Avenue in Gary in support of their less fortunate neighbors, d: Participants line the streets in Gary. Hccsiers care! As the curtain falls, applause fills the movie theatre. Each mo- ment of 1986, those special times of foot stomping sports events and romantic candle glowing dances, was a huge success. The critics are proclaiming this year’s production a masterpiece! Members of the 1986 Chieftain would like to thank the follow- ing supporting cast: Miss Robyn Payne; Spasoff Studio; Miss Don- na Arington, Newsfoto Year- books; Miss Johnnie McCray, Senior Class sponsor; and Mr. Jonathan Reach, graphic arts in- structor.
