Parties at a friend ' s house, a school dance, and just bumming around — those were moments we will always remember. This section typifies how great student Ufe at Qay can be. c See pages 6-41 Just for the Record It was a good year for Qay sports. Looking at the statistics, one could feel pride in the Colonials , but the numbers on a scoreboard or the ratings in the newspaper didn ' t tell the the whole story. The real spirit of Qay sports was in its its athletes and coaches. c See pages 42-85 Everytime you turn aroimd you find people: a helpful teacher, a lost freshman, or — better — a friend. After all, it was not just bricks or books or blackboards that made a school; it was the people that we encountered during our four years at Qay that we will fondly recall. oSee pages 86-143 Bending our minds, we tackled our math problems, read those last 100 pages of a novel for English, and learned the impor- tant battles in the Revolutinary War. Although we sometimes forget, we are in school to learn, and our teachers and classes helped the academic side of us flourish. oSee pages 144-177 Around the town, we ate thousands of hamburgers, bought tankfulls of gas, and spent our paychecks on the late st fashions. Students learned to balance checkbooks and make their meager paychecks stretch until the weekend. The advertisers in these pages are an important part of our lives. oSee pages 178-199 PEOPLE i : ?i . r i v; v.i ' --j:i -: ' ? ; s ;v7 -v a- • ' ? ■ .V ■s ■ BEND Clay High School 19131 Darden Road South Bend, Indiana 46637 Telephone (219) 272-3400 Enrollment: 1288 Volume 56 HANGING OUT ' Just Around the Bend, ' freshman Jeff Culbertson, sophomores Don Knitter and Maren Kuller enjoy a sunny fall day downtown. UST QETTinQ STARTED Just around the bend From the time we began as disoriented freshmen to the day we proudly graduated, we lool ed forward to the many tums in our lives — some which we could control and some which just happened. Although we didn ' t always like to admit it, we were, in many cases, just getting started. We proved that Clay High School was not just a school north of South Bend but was, rather, a vi- tal part of the community. Whether it was by setting high academic standards, being city champions in a sport, or working successfully in community fund raisers, we showed we were important. In the fol- lowing pages we hope that we can show you — both in words and pictures — what life was like for us at Clay and in South Bend during this year. — Steve Knitter a Have you ever seen Alien? The same thing happens to you when you eat too much fast food. — Senior Lisa Kropf % HAMG on TIGHT!!!

UST BETWEEn FRIEFIDS ( BEND The time spent with friends gave us some of our best memories . . . ' Friends in high school are very important and irre- placable. Remember the homecoming game, that eighteenth birthday or a special date? We sometimes tal e friendships for gran- ted, but soon realize that school isn ' t just books, sports, or activities; school is a time to make new friends and to strengthen the bond between the kid you ' ve known since the first grade. The time spent with friends gave us some of our best memories of high school. Wheth- er during school, or after 3:00, our friends were always there — just around the bend. — Steve Knitter LUNCH MAY BE AM HOUR, but it ' s still hard to get back to class on time. This group of students seem to be heading in all directions as lunch draws to a close. 4 Opening THERE ' S ALWAYS TIME to catch up on the latest news. Seniors Lance McKeel and Greg Batten take their minds off the game for a few minutes to discuss im- portant matters. '  -ST THE SMILES SAY IT ALL. Juniors Kathy Martens and Kim Kinney show how happy they are to finally get out of class and get to go to lunch. THE BIRDS RETURN, an Alfred Hitchcock nightmare. These sen- iors, however, show they aren ' t afraid, by running amidst a flock of gulls at Mew Buffalo Beach. u I would never trade in my friends here for anything; when my car breaks down, they save me from the cheese box. — Jennifer Stlmson %% if THE COLD NEVER HURT ANYBODY. Seniors Doug Cole and Amy Hender- son snuggle up to beat the frigid air at a fall soccer game. BEEP BEEP! Cars are essential to the Clay student of the ' 80s. Senior Erik Eiker and relaxes with junior Aaron McLane after a filling lunch. The Student Lffe section of a yearbook captures the special times during high school that you remember years later, rio one denies that classes are im- portant, but it ' s the moments out of the classroom that we most vividly recall. The Jiurried chat with our locker neighbor on our way to the next class and an hour for lunch helped to make the day go by faster. We all breathed a sigh of relief when school let out at 3:00 on Friday and looked forward to two days of fun and relaxation: The Weekend!! Whether it was watching a fall football game, snuggling up to a fire with a close friend on a cold Saturday night, or picking out that special dress or tux for the Prom — these are what student life at Clay was about. — Steve Knitter EVERYBODY NEEDS A HUG. Seniors Elaine Wasikowski and Lisa Wind are no exception, and take the opportunity to express their friendship. 6 Student Life Divider SHARiriG TIME at Clays many sports events is one of the students ' favorite pastimes. Seniors Spencer Cecil and Becky Strefling watch a soccer game at Clay rield. LIFE HAS ITS UPS AHD DOWHS. Everybody loves getting up early for morning band practice as sophomore Amanda Meilstrup, senior John Sherrard, and junior Vincent DeLalla can attest. SOMETIMES THERE AREM T ENOUGH HOURS in the day. Senior Pete Kasper real- izes how much sleep he has missed w hile re- laxing at a friend ' s house on a Saturday night. JUST GIRL TALK! Getting together during a summer birthday party, seniors Michelle Lovitt, Tiffany Boiler, Michelle Gates, Julie Roden, Tyna Green, Jennifer Lewis, and Reagan McManus share a laugh. Student Life Divider 7 Blood Runs Thicker Than Water Family Ties Walking through the halls this year, it seemed a certain resemblance passed among many of our students. Whether it was eyes, a nose, or a smile, often times it seemed as though double vi- sion had struck. It was not, however, a trick on the mind. Often siblings do have common traits that dis- tinguish them as relatives. John and Mike Qavazzoni share an obvious facial resem- blance, but are different in oth- er ways. Their fashion sense differs as John points out, 1 don ' t shop at Goodwill. There are varying opinions on having a blood relative at your school. ' What could be good about having your sister at school? pondered senior Tiffany Boiler. The worst thing about it is she wears my clothes, and people think they ' re hers, commented se- nior Michelle Gates. As stated before, some sib- lings don ' t share the same styles. Jerry doesn ' t have to worry about me wearing his clothes, said senior Brian Emerick. Competition between brothers and sisters is fierce, both in school and out. Some- times it can give added su p- port in sports when both brothers and or sisters play the same things. Senior Melisa Kuller and sophomore Maren Kuller both dive together and play tennis on the Clay team. I consider Maren one of my closest friends, stated Melisa. Problems can arise when you have to share the same bathroom, and only have a limited amount of time before you have to get to school. Se- nior Jill Schultz summed it up: Rachel always gets up at 5:30 to get the shower first. — Tracy Serwatka -( 4 t . , .-i ' -.v 8 student Life HARD AT WORK, senior Jill SchulU supervises as sophomore sister Ra- chel and freshman sister Katie appear to be doing fine. - JUST HAMGIMG AROUMD, senior Jen- nifer Horborg and junior brother Chris relax in the park.

Clay students flocked there en masse to lay around, play volleyball, and frolic in the waves. 1 spent ev- gpfrai eryday off of work at Mew Buf- falo just soaking up the sun, said senior Steve Knitter. Of course there were other places to go like Tower Hill and Indiana Dunes. 1 like Tower Hill the best, said sophomore Chris Riley, Kids here give it a bad rap. A good reason for going to the beach is to see your friends. The beach is such an exciting place. 1 get to see the W : ' - ' ' ; ' ' ' - ?

On Tuesday the Colonials ihowed their spirit by dressing n their favorite sports uni- orms. Wednesday students voke up and were ready to ;ome to school — Pajama )ay. Junior Sharlaine Graff ■tated, It was a great day, I ust jumped out of bed and got n my car. Following school Wednes- day, the Senior Class tie-died students ' shirts, and on Thurs- day everyone had a chance to show off their creations during the successful Tie-dye Day. Then Friday was finally here and everyone had the chance to show pride wearing Purple and Gold. How the night was upon us, and the float competition was ready to begin. It was an excit- ing evening as the juniors won the competition. Sharman Wil- liams commenting on the freshmen second place said, ' the freshman had a good theme and did really well for their first year. The seniors came in last with their float, which just fell apart, said se- nior Laura Lavanture. As the couples of the 1987 Homecoming Court were an- nounced, they were greeted with arousing Colonial cheer. Seniors Crystal Bluitt and Da- vid Deahl were crowned Queen and King. For the first time in many years, the Colonials won the Homecoming game; it ended with a 19-0 icton, o er the Washington Panthers, and stu- dents celebrated at the home- coming dance, directly follow- ing the game. I forgot how much fun it was to win a foot- ball game, said senior Mi- chelle Gates. — Mary Florkowski Tall Homecoming 15 HUMORinC HER MOTHER, Miss Mar- ian (senior Kim Snyder) patiently lis- tens to her motiier ' s (junior Colleen Loeffler) matrimonial advice. 16 Student Life YEE GAWDS, exclaims senior Jenni Morborg when her boyfriend, played by graduate Rex Trewin, asks her to 1 meet him later that evening.

A What is so bad about being a freshman? I think we deserve bigger lockers. — Melanie Roberts I wish the counselors would take more interest in the students. — Chris Norborg I wish the underclassmen would stay out of the senior hallway. They block traffic. — Steve Knitter What happened to the Powderpuff football team? I do not think it ' s fair to the girls. — David Appel 1 think spirit week is great. It gives the students a chance to show their spirit to everyone. — Angle McKeel eiisi The Music Man He ' s a what! He ' s a what! He ' s a Music IMan! On inarch 27-29, 1987, the Clay Auditorium came alive with song and dance as Clay ' s Music and Drama departments put on Willson and Lacey ' s The Music Man. The famous musical com- edy about a fast-talking salesman named Harold Hill, and his adventures in River City, Iowa has been a favorite among audiences for years. The cast of approximately ninety-five members was headed by graduate Fred Hart- zell (Professor Hill), senior Kim Snyder (Marion Paroo), ju- nior Colleen Loeffler (Mrs. Pa- roo), and graduate Brent Marty (Marcellus Washburn). Special guest appearances by staff members Mr. Dan Kasper, Mrs. Sheila Emge, Mrs. Frances Lein, and Ms. Dianne Cham- bers added to the production. Seeing some of my teach- ers on stage was really enjoy- able — and humorous! , stat- ed an anonymous junior. Behind the scenes were Mrs. Dorothy Powers (musical and production director) and Miss nancy Shelley (drama direc- tor), who both put in a great deal of patience and hard work to insure the show ' s success. Mr. Jerry Lackey, Ms. Qanette Smith, and Mr. Jeff Christiana did an excellent job coaching the orchestra. Every one who took part in the show gave up their after school hours and weekends for more than two straight months. It was time-consuming. but 1 got so much out of it. , stressed Kim Snyder. On all three performances the show received high praise. They seemed so profession- al, I couldn ' t believe it was a high-school production! ' said senior Jeff Sriver. Because of extensive prepa- ration (not to mention raw tal- ent), the cast and crew of The Music Man put on a showthey could be proud of. — Jennifer norborg Music Man 17 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYOMEIII!

J HAVING A GOOD TIME TOGETHER senior Steve Scott and sophomore Kim Boiler enjoy the atmosphere at one of Clays exciting social func- tions. The absolute worst mistake I ever made in high school was taking second year physics — Jason Stokes I decided not to study for my algebra final because I was tired — I got two right out of thirty-five, hence off to summer school I went while all of my friends slept late. — Mark Williams The worst mistake 1 have ever made in my entire life was walk- ing through the doors of Clay when I was a freshman. — Joe Moody What is the worst mistake you ever made??? ROLLING ON THE COUCH, junior: Kerry Peterson, Kathy Martens, Erii Johnston, Sharman Williams and se nior Tracy Serwatka share a goo laugh.

From the Friday basketball lame to the Saturday party Hay students know how to lave a great time. I love going to basketball lames on Friday night, you ee everyone, said senior Elaine Wasikowski. A great leal of students plan their eekend around the game. lon ' t mind jumping around t the games during our routines, we all always go out together afterwards to the dance or the party, said junior Ann Burgess. Clay dances were very popular with the freshmen and the sophomores. I love throwing my body around at Clay dances, says sophomore Liz Hussey. Clay high school is also widely known for its parties which can be pretty exciting. Other students from St. Joe and Adams can be seen at these social functions all the time. Our parties are the best in the city, said an anonymous junior. Every- where from a small get together to a very large gathering with sixty to seventy people Clay students always have fun. I like the fact that a great deal of our parties are seniors only. It keeps out the annoying freshman!! said senior Sue Getz. Clay students always find a reason to have a party. Birthdays were a very popular reason. Senior Jenni norborg said, The reason I had my party was my birthday but also so my brother ' s band could practice. Life after school Friday at Clay is alive and well. The act of socializing finds no hindrances in the hallowed hallways of this high school. As most students agree Clay is the place to be! — Doug Hildebrecht Weekend Frolics 19 0What is the hardest • class you have?? A My hardest class is algebra-trigonometry because I do not understand it, plus its not too much fun to go to first hour just after waking up — K.C. Bohn I would have to say English. I can ' t understand any of Mr. Kasper ' s questions on his tests. Where do they come from?? — Crystal Bluitt The hardest class I have would have to be accounting. All those figures make me really dizzy. I am so con- fused!! — Lori Pulaski Study hall to me is the hardest!! It ' s hard to sleep in those little pod chairs. — Steve Scott Accounting gives me a deadly headache. Everyone is fighting for the ledger green.

I I Snow-Skiing, Icy Roads, and Sciiool Closings ... It ' s All a Part of The Winter Scene Just like summer, win- ter is a time to iiave fun. From snowball fights to skiing, winter has a special place for every- one. Everyone likes to wake up and find eight inches of new snow on the ground then turn on the radio and hear the words, Classes in South Bend School Corporation have been canceled. It ' s a time of rejoic- ing for all. Though sometimes it is not too much fun when it ' s so deep that one can not even get out of the house or the electricity is off. That some- times is worse than going to school. T hate it when my electricity goes off, 1 don ' t even bother thinking about coming to school, even if it wasn ' t can- celed 1 can ' t take a shower so whats the point of going to school! said an anonymous senior. A favorite sport of many Clay students is downhill skiing. In Michigan there are a great deal of places for Clay students to ski. From the famed Swiss Valley to Boyne Mountain, there is a place for everyone, beginner and expert alike. Swiss is not that bad, but it doesn ' t even compare to Colorado, said senior Steve Knitter. Cross country skiing is pretty popular also. Knoll- wood Golf Course is the place for many Clay students. 1 just ski out my back door and have a blast, said senior Lisa Brown. Snowball fights also pro- vide excitement for many stu- dents. Though it ' s not allowed in the parking lots at Clay, stu- dents find other opportunities to vent their frustrations. Many students during the winter months eagerly antici- pate the upcoming Spring Break. Students plan trips ev- erywhere from the snow cov- ered slopes of the up and com- ing Steamboat, Colorado to the sand and sun of southern Florida. Fort Lauderdale has always been a big draw to many Clay students. Though some people do not like winter and snow be- cause of the temperature and the road conditions, plent of students like it. Totally oppo- site of the sunny and hot days of summer, winter is a time to dress in wool sweaters and heavy jackets. As summed up by sophomore Maren Kuller, It ' s a welcome change of pace. — Doug Mildebrecht The Winter Scene 21 P OREIGN i K eCd Vo } ' i ec ceue , _ - Birthday: 11-18-69 Country: West Germany Why did you come to the U.S.A. and Clay High School: 1 really wanted to learn the English language and see what the Ameri- can culture is like.

OLICIES BORED TO DEATH, Courtney Diggins passes time during lockout in the cafeteria. — Z?e Se xc , ff LATE TO SCHOOL Trials of Transportation Coming to school at 7:00 in the morning is never fun. Especially if you miss your ride. Ever try walking to school in 20 degree weather? Even when the weather is warm you have to find a way to get to school - if you can ' t get there, why en- roll? The majority of the Clay upperclassmen either drive to school or catch a ride with a friend. Problems can arise when the driver or passenger is late. Senior Maureen Butler drives four people to school every day and says, The one bad thing about having to drive other people to school is that when you ' re already a late person, it makes you even later. Maybe those that complain HURRY SCURRY . . . Juniors Bryan Zubler, Greg Mueller, and Joe Moody are seen here racing the clock. ought to ride the bus. not everyone can catch a ride with Mau- reen, or drive them- selves and live too far to walk. Although many students abhor the idea of riding the bus it is comforting to know there ' s a ride if you need one. Junior Willie tieiden drives to school and says, I wouldn ' t ride the cheesebox if it were a free ride to school. NOT LOCKOUT! Mixed Emotions on Policy A new tardy policy was put into effect this year to combat the large number of stu- dents disregarding the tardy bells and coming to class late. The poli- cy of locking out stu- dents who couldn ' t manage to be on time has been received with mixed emotions. Sophomore Lynn Vavul expresses the feelings of many Clay students: ' I can ' t stand lock-out! I ' d rather be in class than lock-out. Lock-out does have some good points. Late students are no longer disrupting and delaying class time, and students are mak- ing more of an effort to be on time for fear of losing credit for work done in class. The fact that some students have been purposely late to avoid class is upsetting, but so far lock-out has worked well. 6 ' V-- SERIOUSLYI Freshmen Jen- nifer Ladd and Lisa Harwood are out of control.

A distinct style is something most people strive for. This style has many outlets — per- sonality, appearance, and the things a person may partici- pate in, or enjoy. Music is one of the many different ways peo- ple express themselves. By walking down the hall- ways at Clay one can tell there are several types of people that listen to different kinds of musics. Motley Crue T-Shirts are to be seen everywhere. Souvenirs of the 1987 U2 Con- cert are also quite prevalent. There are many who enjoy listening to tunes on the Top- 40 charts. These are the songs that are popular one week, and absent from the charts the next week. These students are content to listen to their ra- dios. fleadbangers — fans of heavy metal music — are quite common here at Clay. These students like groups such as Motley Crue, Cinderel- la, and Poison. Senior Stew McLinda and friends, better known as Stew ' s Crew, are dedicated followers of Motley Crue. Rap music is a form of street music popular with some stu- dents. Somepopulargroupsof this category include Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, and L.L. Cool J. Classic rock is music that has been around since we were young. Groups such as the Beatles and the Doors are listened to by most everyone. New music has become more and more prominent In todays music scene. Groups such as the Smiths, REM, Echo and the Bunnymen and r ' iew Order are attaining a lot of at- tention. The students that ap- preciate this music enjoy it for its unique quality. There are many, many types of music. Some not named above include classical, coun- try, and reggae. The fact is, music is something which can- not be labeled. It is an expres- sion of one ' s personal beliefs, something people see and ap- preciate differently. — Tracy Serwatka DECIDIMG ON WMAT COMP.ACT DISC TO BUY, senior Scott Leuis ponders the wide selection at .

It was so hard, but it turned out to be so much fun, said senior Karen Chance. The evning began with the guy picking up the girl. The tra- dition of taking pictures in ev- ery pose imaginable was car- ried out laboriously but none- theless dutifully. As senior Melisa Kuller said, ' You would think my mother would know by now how to work her cam- era without fumbling by now. Dinner for a great deal of people was one of the nicest parts of the evening. Reserva- tions were made everywhere from the nicest and most ex- pensive restaurants in town to mothers kitchen. Fixing the dinner at home saved me $40.00 and I spent that on something more important than fo od, said an anony- mous junior. People began to arrive at the dance around 9:30. The serv- ers arrived at 8:50 to help set up the table decorations and put out the refreshments. thought it was a good experi- ence, said freshman Ray f owalewski. The flshbowl at the refreshment table certainly was an interesting addition to the decor of the hall, it served as a topic of conversation among many students. The Pete Best Band was very popular. By playing both pre- pared and requested songs, they provided a good variety of tunes to keep the couples in- terested and dancing. I danced so hard and so long 1 could hardly get up in the morning! said junior Lori Pu- laski. A few students provided a source of comic relief and helped create a more carefree atmosphere by singing along uath the group. The evening ended too soon and the students drifted slowly out of the building and into the parking lot. It pro ed to be a very cold night but no one seemed to mind. All in all the night was a great success and one to be long remembered. — Doug Hildebrecht DAMCIMG THE MIGHT AWAY senior ' MAY I HAVE THIS DAPiCE? asks se- Hein Cregten juniors Josh Hender- nior RoPi ' Paquette to senior Jenny son, Ann Burgess, and Debbie Bartley Adams while senior Dave Aker looks show their enthusiasm for the music, on quizically.

Because so much in life depends on how well one can get along with other people, friends are a cru- cial part of growing up. The more one learns about making friends now the easier life will be later on. Friends are people who are there when you need them. Tm not sure where I would be right now if my friends were not there to listen to me, said ju- nior Kristin Lambright. It is said that your high school years are the best years of your life and without friends to share those special times, I ' m not sure that would be true. said junior Kim Kinney. What would Friday night be without friends? From going to the basketball game to the Fri- day bash, friends stay togeth- er. I love to go to the mall with my friends when I ' m bored, said senior Anne Weber ad- ding, Friends should be there through the exciting times and the unexciting ones too! It is important to remember that one will gain many more friends in the future but the people one knows now share only memories high school classmates can relate to. My friends and 1 share some of the same dreams and goals but we have to keep it in perspective, some of us will go to different colleges and we will make new friends. Thats life! said junior Bill Stohler. This important lesson in life is exemplified by senior Tracy Serwatka, Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. In a few concise words a friend is someone to share the good and bad times of your life. — Mary Florkowski 28 Student Life SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE, seniors Shelley Peters, Lisa Jacobs, and Merci Swafford demonstrate this im- portant principle of being friends.

Just For A Moment March rolled around and the guys be- gan to face the ultimate ques- tion. Who to ask to the Prom? Most pondered this question and finally came to the difficult decision. Then it was time to find the dress or to reserve the tuxedo. Beginning the evening the gentlemen went to pick up their dates usually being met at the door by the girls parents who assisted w ith the pinning of the corsage on the girl and a boutonniere on the guy. Waving good bye to mom and dad the couple proceeded DANCE THIS WAYHI says graduate Alan Holtzlander to his date Mary Ugland, from Adams, as she struggles with her steps. onward to the restaurant. Pa- tronizing many of the elite houses of fine cuisine includ- ing The Carriage Mouse and Tippecanoe Place Restaurant, students ate to their hearts content. After dinner came the finale, the 1987 Prom. Starting at 9:00 the dance was held at the Century Center in downtown South Bend, overlooking the St. Joe River. Most students were fashionably late, arriving at 10:00 or 10:30 P.M. Upon ar- rival some couples were thoroughly embarrassed as they were led down the stairs in a spotlight. About 10:45 the court was introduced by the ju- nior class officers and the King and Queen were announced. The court consisted of: Beth Peterson, Kris Qruner, Ricky Miller, Annette Johnson, John McCoy, Peggy Fuerbringer, Jon nemeth, Michelle Bor- kowski, Mike Peters, Mary Ma- honey, Mike Obenauf, and Jen- nifer Achter. Peggy Fuerbringer was crowned Queen, and Ricky Miller was crowned King. The festivities continued until 1:00. The action then mo ed else- where. Clay students celebrat- ed in a variet of places, at- tending . fterprom, going to parties, or sleeping at the beach or in dad ' s cottage. All in all the night turned out to be a success. For most it was something never to be forgot- ten, to live on as a i id memo- ry of how eas life once ap- peared to be. — Doug Hildebrecht Prom 31 A Time Tor Play And A Time For Work Making Money H job? Many ow many times have you heard someone com- plain that they needed to get a students spent a major part of their year wori - ing. Reasons for getting a job were varied. Often times it w as for the ail important purpose of attaining money towards a college education. Many just wanted spending money to help pay for a car, clothes, or weekend fun. Their weekend fun was sometimes limited when they were scheduled to work Friday and Saturday nights. Losing free time seemed the most common complaint of high school job holders; although, it all seemed worth it when the pay- check arrived. A common workplace was the mall. Part of the benefit of working at the mall was that it closed at 9:00. ' When I work on a Friday night, it doesn ' t re- ally bother me because 1 can get off work and have time to go out, commented junior Tammy Boyer, an employee at Bresler ' s 33 Flavors. Another advantage was the fact that you could see many of your friends there while working. Other places of employment ranged from movie theaters to fast food restaurants to gas stations. Senior Dan Cox, an employee at Amoco, states, T like the fact that I get to work with a lot of different people. There are four co-op pro- grams at Clay that allow stu- dents to use school time to work at a job. These programs are COE, DECA, HERO, and ICT. Deann Beach is a senior member of DECA. She goes to school half day, and then heads off to her job at riotre Dame.

' Senior John Seltenright wants to own his own business some- day. ' ' I like ICT because it gives me the training I ' m going to need to one day achieve my goal. Most students found that holding a job was a valuable and influential experience. It taught them that in the real world, you have to work to earn a living. — Tracy Serwatka ■ ' WOULD YOU LIKE THIS ONE? , asks senior Dianne Hickey, as she waits on a customer at Morrows Piut House in University Park Mall.

Soccer The opening of Tur- ners soccer arena last year set off indoor soc- cer at Clay. As the name suggests, indoor soc- cer is played on an are- na about one-fourth the size of an outdoor field, and much narrower. The ball is allowed to be played off the walls, and there is no out of bounds. The small area allows for a lot of ball chasing, and creates a much faster paced game. Turners soccer are- na, and the Mishawaka YMCA facility, are in session year round, so that anyone can play — even those who have never touched a ball. 34 Student Life HELP ME, I ' M DROWMIMGin Seniors Karen Chance, Elaine Wasikowski and Sarah Winters bury themselves in food.

Com- petition with Adams High School, incen- tives from teachers, as well as endless senior spirit made the 1987 drive the most suc- cessful in Clay history. The 20,961 cans do- nated during the three weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks easi- ly surpassed the 1986 16,221 record. The Senior Class of ' 88 dwarfed the other classes ' totals by outcollecting the runner-up Juniors 2:1. The seniors ' 11,500 cans accounted for WHEW! Soccer takes en- durance. Senior Kim Thompson pauses to catch her breath before play re- sumes. over half the overall to- tal, ulth over a third of the Seniors collecting compared to the 25% participation of the en- tire student body. Ad- ditionally, the compe- tition helped Adams collect 16,000 cans. The combined school total of nearly 40,000 cans not only helped the Hansel {Neighborhood Center, Little Flower Church, and the Maranantha Temple feed the less fortunate of our com- munity through the holidays, but also well into 1988!

Out To Lunch When the bell rings after third or fourth hour students are re- lieved to be able to get out of their academic setting, and escape the rituals school pre- sents. Although some students do not have their own cars they can often catch a ride wdth one of their friends. Sometimes lucky freshmen and sopho- mores can get a ride with an upperclass- man. A great deal of freshmen walk to lunch. This sometimes was dangerous as there were students from another school driving around in a van this year beating these students up. Students travelled far and wide for a good lunch, often times driving ten to fif- teen minutes away so they could eat at home. Let ' s Do Lunch! Where? The results are in!

A time to do what one enjoys most, rom tiding iiorses to playing he piano, it can be a very exhilarating experi- :nce. Some people like to play ports in their freetime. Rac- [uetball has always been a lopular out-of-school sport. ' 1 hink racquetball is a great way relieve tension, said senior lark Kilboume. Working out m Nautilus equipment or on ;xercise bikes is an exciting ay to get rid of those extra calories one eats at McDo- nalds during lunch. I go to Knollwood every day to ride an exercise bike for an hour and a half! said senior Lisa Wind adding, It ' s a great way to ex- ercise during the winter months. Other people prefer the in- tellectual way to spend this time by curiing up with a good book or playing an instrument.

Another popular past time for freetime is sleeping. ' 1 like to come home from school and take a long nap, waking up as soon as dinner is ready, ' said sophomore Jeff Muckins. Some students like to spend their time shopping. This can be very dangerous as ex- pressed by senior Lisa Jacobs. My life flashed before my eyes one day when I was shopping and opened my purse. My RE- SOURCE card was missing. I later found it in my other Gucci purse. It was a truly horrifSing experience. ' Life can pro e to be so difficult for some people. In essence, freetime is a space in a student ' s life to be filled with enjo Tnent, a time to leam and grow in new direc- tions. Freetime is for doing something that brings enor- mous personal satisfaction and accomplishment. Without this valuable time, life would not be the same. — Doug tlildebrecht Freetime Frenzy 37 Kings and Queens, and Freddy Kmeger ' s Boiler Room Homecoming The Student Council has had no rest. Just as the hooplah from the Midwinter dance died down, it was time to begin planning and gearing for the next big event: 1988 Basket- ball Homecoming. The Penn Kingsmen would be in for a fight if the Clay team was half as psyched as the students. The excitement and antici- pation built during the week prior to the big game. The members of the 1988 Home- coming Court, nominated by the senior class, were an- nounced on Monday. They were Paul Bartek, Simone Swinson, Mike Qavazzoni, Mi- chelle Gates, Ted Seall, Jennie Quzzi, Doug Mondovics, Julie Roden, Mark Bridwell, Elaine Wasikowski, Tony Evans, and Tracy O ' Neal. Only two ques- tions remained unanswered: Who would be crowned King and Queen, and which class would win the hall decoration and spirit contest? In order to promote more student participation and indi- vidual class unity, in the deco- ration and dress-up days of spirit week, the Student Coun- cil decided to try something a little different. Instead of hav- ing dress-up days for all the students, they voted to give each class their own day to choose a theme, decorate their hall, and dress up ac- cordingly. The freshmen hall down home theme had farm scenes on the walls and scare- crows and pumpkins and a large sign that said, Go Back To The Farm, Penn! The sophomore hall was transformed into the dreadful boiler room of Freddy Krueger himself — no Escape Penn! 1, 2, ... Freddy ' s comin ' for YOU!! Checkmate ... said one junior to another as they sashayed down the chess board in the junior hall. Black and white squares, clothes. and signs covered the area. The seniors, once again, domi- nated the lowly underclass- men with a brilliant display of creativity and artistic talent with their Senior Manor. A virtual haven for Medieval rev- elries, the hall featured Queen Karen Chance and King Phillip Humnickey presiding over their court who obediently fed annoying freshmen to the fero- cious dragon. The night of the long awaited game finally arrived. Homecoming Queen Elaine Wasikowski and King Paul Bar- tek were honored du ring half- time festivities, and although the team lost, the Clay fans demonstrated their undying loyalty by filling the stands. — Melisa Kuller EXCITING THE CROWDS AT THE GAME, sophomore cheerleader Stephanie Smith throws arms around while cheering to the roaring masses.

In the off-season, players had a new weightlifting pro- gram twice a week. Then August came and it was time for the new season. It began with one week of mandatory conditioning. For the next two weeks, for seven long hours each day, the team ate, slept and thought football during the all-day practices. Clay started the season off with high expectations. Playing against Marian had a lot of meaning to the team, said junior Noel Easton. Clay beat Marian while Coach Kuntz was at the hospital waiting for his first child. This year ' s seniors had a big change to overcome. With a new coach and staff coming into an old program, it was hard for the seniors to cope with a new set of rules, but due to the caliber of the seniors they were able to accomplish many goals. The team had a promise to uphold when Coach Kuntz told a big crowd, at a Thursday night pep assembly, that Clay would win their Homecoming game this year. They not only kept their promise, but they walked all over the Washing- ton Panthers to keep them scoreless... (continued on page 46) . A LEADER.

Although the record was not all that the coaches, players, and fans had hoped, the team leamed to blend old and new ways into a satisfying season. The freshmen football team broke even this year, with a re- cord of 4-4. They were coach- ed by new coach Donald Wil- son. The team as a whole proved they will be a valuable asset to the varsity team in seasons to come. The record doesn ' t show how good the team really was. As freshman Marc Colwell ex- plains, We had a lot of good games but we just seemed to lose them in the end. In the city playoffs, the fresh- men team took on the Wash- ington Panthers. They played a great defensive game to hold the Panthers to a 6-0 victory. This put them in 5rd place in the city. With their hard work, and long practices, it payed off in the end for the freshmen.

Every morning, Monday to Sat- urday, the girls attended ex- hausting practices. We worked hard this year, but we had a lot of fijn, said senior Micole Olsen, Tim and Darci had a new program that really seemed to help. Under this new program, the team swam between 5 and 6 miles a day. Usually, the team would swim about 2 miles in the morning, and then another 3 or 4 miles at the afternoon practice and then w eights. And indeed it seems the new program paid off. For the first time in recent years, the Stin- grays had a winning record — and they won big. They had a 9-6 record, placed 3rd in the Sectionals, and qualified 3 ath- letes to the state finals. Fresh- man Gabrielle Lorenc placed 8th in the 100m butterfly and was named to the All-State team. Sophomore Maren Kul- ler was 13th in diving.

Success did not come over night, or through wishful thinking. Mard work and sweat was the price they had to pay this season, and according to senior cap- tain Karen Chance, the girls didn ' t mind a bit, We had a tough year, but we hung to- gether and never gave up. It was one of the best team ef- fort ' groups I ' ve ever played on. The team, for the most part, underclassmen, was sparked by this young group of players, but the entire team shared the complete load and improved from start to finish. Junior Sharman Williams states, With our new coaches, the year seemed to be improv- ing as far as players went. To me, what showed up on the score board really didn ' t count. Long hours of practic- ing is what really counted. Too bad it had to end. Losing two seniors this sea- son, Karen Chance and .Mi- chelle norwicki, will certainly not set their level of play back a few steps. If the team spirit and willingness shine through until next season, the Qiris ' Volleyball Team vvill have the momentum to move foreward in years to come. — Shelley Cuskaden FOR JUNIOR Terri Streffling, concen- tration is the key for dri 1ng the ball back over the net.

They prac- ticed morning and afternoon; running, doing drills, and pre- paring for the season. They were ranked 8th in the state before the season even start- ed. This was the 1987 Boys ' Tennis Team. ' This is one of the best groups I ' ve ever coached, they did everything 1 asked of them. I couldn ' t have asked for more dedication from the team, stated second year coach Red- dy Quistine. Despite having a good attitude, a good coach, and good players, the team somehow failed to live up to its pre-season ranking. The team progressed very well throughout the season, de- spite having lost two key players from last year, ex- plains senior Marc Hurst. But the season also had its bright spots — including beat- ing Adams for the first time in several years. As senior Drew Jones put it, Beating Adams was the greatest thrill, it made my senior year.

The boys ' cross country team did surprisingly well this year. After years of running at the bottom of the niC stan- dings. Clay surprised many by winning both the city and Sec- tional meets.

Winning sure feels good for a change, says junior Dave Yuhas. Dedicated fan, junior Megan Schulz agrees, I know how hard they ' ve worked, so I ' m really glad that they finally got rewarded. The girls ' team also did very well, winning the city meet for the third year in a row. They not only managed to retain their city title at the city meet, but they also managed to win a berth in the Regional meet, by placing fourth at the Sec- tional meet.

The Colo- nials took it to the South Bend Community Schools by beat- ing all of them. The Colonials began the season with five re- turning lettermen. Three sen- iors and two juniors took the team out on the courts for bat- tle. Leading the Colonials in scoring were juniors Leon Johnson and Damon Wilder. Aiding the Colonials was the defensive talents of seniors Steve Scott and Jason Diem. The Colonials were a junior dominated team, having only four seniors. With lack of size and experience, the Colonials had to work hard to earn the respect from the other MIC teams. The Colonials ended in second in the PilC. The prob- lem of unity and turnover plagued the team ' s perform- ance for the first half of the sea- son. But by the second half, they began to put the pieces together and work as a team rather than five individuals. And that ' s what earned them second in the NIC. The Colonials ended up the season 10-10 overall, and 6-3 in the NIC. In the South Bend Sectional, they had a disap- pointing loss to the LaSalle Lions in the opening rounds. Clay played well in the first quarter, but the last three haunted them again.

These players were ded- icated to the sport for reasons other than recognition, the most important being their love of the game. The freshman team held several morning practices, that in itself a reason for less hearty souls to quit playing. In the aftemoon. Coach Jim Par- v ent found a use for previously wasted hours between the end of school and the 5 o ' clock practice by instituting a study hall for freshmen. Sometimes the junior varsity players would sit in on the study halls, not only did the players get a chance to catch up on their schoolwork, but it gave them time to prepare strategy for up- coming games and go over errors made in previous ones. After the varsity team left the gym, these two teams shared the court. They did shooting and dribbling drills, practiced new plays, and scrimmaged. The players on these teams are Clay ' s future stars. The season taught them new skills and ideas that will be useful when they make the varsity team next year, or in years to come, but the dedication they developed will last them a life- time. — Jenny Culbertson SHOWlPiG us HOW ITS DOME, fresh- man Damani Woods executes his per- fect free-throw shooting form.

Weakness plagued the sea- son this year because of the lack of varsity experience and new faces. Our team had great potential, there won ' t be a team that can beat us. We did have our set backs, though, but we came out on top, said senior Renee Jakey. Losing only three seniors this year means that they would have to pull more weight for next year. Junior Shelli Chimielewski added, We have a lot of young, good players, so hopefully, next year we should still be playing strong with Debbie, Rose, Brenda, and myself. Sectionals had a great im- pact on the team. They beat St. Joe in their regular season, but lost to them in the section- als.

Some called it fun, others called it great to watch, but the Clay Colonials just called it tough. They finished with a record, even with many new players coming onto the ice this year. Striving for and trying their best was not enough to achieve perfection. The end of the season we came close because of the fact that we all pulled together and worked to- gether, added senior Tom Morlan. Many fans came to watch the Colonials as they kept the tra- dition of hard play and great excitement. Although hockey is only a club-sport, it has quite a following. With all of the fast action, hard body checking, and fierce competition, it was hard not to get involved with the team. Senior Brett Firestein sums up the season in his own words, T ' m really pleased with the outcome of the Hock- ey team. We had a slow start, but we have come a long way.

After an up and down regu- lar season performance, which saw Clay High School finish with a 9-7-1 record, the 1988 Wrestling peaked at the right time capturing their 3rd straight South Bend sectional championship — defeating Washington in an upset by 1 2 a point. Sectional champions were Steve Bogunia, Gilbert Wil- liams, Gary Bogunia, David Maddox, and Rob Maurer. The following weekend. Clay fin- ished 3rd in the LaPorte Re- gional, qualifying Steve Bo- gunia, Gilbert Williams, Gary Bogunia, and David Maddox for the Semi-State, and beating both Penn and Mishawaka in the process. Gary Bogunia continued his winning ways, placing 3rd in the Semi-State and 6th in In- dianapolis at the State finals. This year ' s squad was led by seniors Gilbert Williams, Gary Bogunia, David Maddox, Rob Maurer, and Mark Bridwell. These five accounted for 107 Clay victories this season, with Gary becoming the leader in all time career wins here at Clay with 86.

The sport that takes considerable concentration, good hand-eye coordination, balance, superior coaching, a group of remarkable players who really know their game, the list goes on. For the 1987 team, it was this and much, much more. Few can come close to the 17- 2 record and the niC record of 8-1. The team had won the Keppler Invitational six out of eight years, and this year took third place at the LaPorte Invi- tational, but according to coach Dan Polizzotto, We should have won it!

As the cold winter weather left and spring was finally upon us, a new season had begun for the 1987 Boys ' Track Team. They had their share of ups and downs during the past few years, but this year, it was looking good with a season record of 2-7. There was much improve- ment shown this season, but it takes time, stated graduate Dan Peck. Even though there were only two victories, against Washington and Ad- ams, the team was unified and on the move. Many personal goals were achieved which seemed some- what unlikley in many of the players ' eyes. Practice and training after school took up much of the players ' time, but according to sophomore Brian Powell, it paid off. The prac- tices were hard and very seri- ous, overall it was worth it. The number of members had improved since last year, and leadership was shown by all, especially by the seniors. By this time next year. Clay could see an even better sea- son record. But only time will tell. — Christopher Qrummel PERFECT TIMING is needed in deliv- ering the wand shown here by senior Rory Faquette and sophomore Brian Powell.

Boys ' Track 77 Making Strides A Year of Great Improvement Early last February, exactly thirty-five girls showed up for the first day of practice. They braved the sweatbox-like at- mosphere of the upper gym and the near-blizzard condi- tions of the great outdoors during their first month of practice. The 1987 Girls ' Track Team had one of its best seasons ever. The team boasted a 3-8 record and an MIC record of 2- 7. Gone are the days of 0-9 rec- ords. The team was young, but not inexperienced, and hope- fully the 1988 team will im- prove on this year ' s record. The Colonials had only three seniors, including MVP Emma Walshe, but much of the talent was in the under- classmen. Twelve of the four- teen sectional qualifiers will re- um next year, including two girls who made it to State, Rose Koehler in the long jump and Jenny Culbertson in the 3200 meter run. The bonds of friendship were formed and stregthened throughout the whole season.

Made up mostly of juniors and seniors, the 1987 team had a big season. The season started in Janu- ary, with conditioning and end- ed in June with the playoffs. Tt was a great deal of work, but it all payed off, commented graduate Mike Savage. This year was unique be- cause Clay attained status as one of the biggest soccer pow- ers in South Bend. The high- light of the year came with Clays defeat of the St. Joe In- dians, which had generally been considered the soccer powerhouse in South Bend. In the playoffs. Clay beat St. Joe, 3-1, for the second time, losing to Adams in the final game, 3-0.

True, those parties were fun, we liked many of our classes, and we cheered on our athletes. But what would these events be like without people? High school, like society as a whole, brings together a variety of people. We learned to work together as teams, classmates and locker neighbors; to our surprise, we even got to like some of our teachers and administrators.

A ell, in this case that egend had to be cast jside this year. Teachers did not fit he mold of the old ;chool marm that one jave a shiny red apple o. Instead, they drive ihiny red sports cars, }o on exotic vacations, ind run marathon aces. During the North Zentral Evaluation of Zlay High School, the ;lose relationship be- ween students, teach- es and administra- ion, and the friendly itmosphere found in he classroom and hroughout the school was praised by the committee. A staff, of course, is not only composed of teachers and adminis- trators. It takes a vari- ety of talented individ- uals to make a school run smoothly, and the support staff at Clay was an important asset to the school year. Custodians kept the over 10-year old build- ing clean, the ground crew made sure the lawn was freshly mowed and that the new flowers in front of the school were wat- ered and weeded. 1 was pleased to find the quality of the food in the cafeteria had improved over last year, said senior Da- vid Aker. A cheery smile and a warm cookie from the cafete- ria ladies make the day go by better. As it is for many stu- dents, the teachers ' days did not stop at 3:00. Mr. Daniel Kas- per and Mr. William Baldwin could be spied on almost any after- noon helping out at the Bull Pen snack bar. May advisers, coaches and late-working put in long days — and some nights — throughout the year. No, once you have seen a Clay teacher, you have NOT seen them all. WITH PAPERS IN HAND, Mr. Joseph Wolter ex- plains the answers to questions he had asked on a biology exam.

Remember when we ;hought that coming to school year after year, seeing the same old :eachers was getting 3ld? What about those :eachers who have to DC here day after day, six hours a day, for Tiore than four years? fter all, no matter low we feel about school, we only had bur years at Clay, A ' hile many of our :eachers were in their lOth, 20th, or were :oming close to spend- ng a quarter of a cen- ;ury at Clay High School. We always wanted the teachers to feel sorry for us; per- haps we should have shown more sympathy for the staff. The teach- ers were always there every day of the year. They didn ' t complain; neither did they fall asleep when you gave your ten minute speech. Time and time again the students have looked back on their high school years and never thought of the teacher that gave them an A or helped them with a problem. If we would have thought about it, teachers real- ly had it bad; remem- bering names, grading work, making up tests, baby-sitting for some, yelling at students — and this went on every day of the year. So . . . think back to the last time we got up complaining about go- ing to school, and then remember the alarm clock that went off — and will continue to go off next year — at 6:00 in the morning at our teacher ' s house. If we would have listened closely, we could have heard the nearest teacher saying, Oh no, not again!

Faculty — StafFord-Zmudzinski 95 Last year. The beginning of a new iife Remember our first day of high school? The girls got up two hours early to do their hair, the guys all plan to get there at the same time so they won ' t look like Freshman. At first we carried all our books for the whole day with us ev- erywhere because we didn ' t want to be late. Then we finally found the Senior hall! The Se- niors always looked so big and they were so popular. Then we were always late just because we had to walk up and down the Senior hallway. It looked big back then. Freshman year we got to be Mid-Winter serv- ers. That was the highlight of the whole year. Then came Sophomore year, we weren ' t upperclass- men, but at least now we had someone to pick on. We still walked down the Senior hall in hopes to run into a Se- nior, but after a year of prac- tice, we learned how to do this without being tardy. The closest most of us got to the Prom that year was serving. That was okay because we were on Prom Committee to plan the best Jr.-Sr. Prom ever! This led us into Junior year. Boy, how we ' d changed. We had to start thinking about colleges and careers. They learned how to get ready for school in 20 minutes instead of two hours. Most of the boys we went to school with as Fresh- men, were becoming young men as Juniors. The Seniors began to look smaller. We stopped trying to impress them, after all, we had Fresh- men trying to impress us! By this time, most of us had our license and we didn ' t need mommy and daddy drive us everywhere. Then Spring 1987 a time to remember For Just A Moment finally the PROM! Our first formal dance and first curfew of 5:00 a.m. Was it worth the three year wait? Senior year — no one to look up to, no one to push us around. The college applica- tions and interviews, the jobs, the homework, friends and family, it was hectic. STEW S CREW TAKES A QUICK RIDE AROUriD THE PARKIMG LOT, before the bell rings.

Fifteen, ten, five minutes . . . when your stomach is growling and you look forward to a Big Mac, time seems to stand still. The teacher kept on talking, but it really didn ' t matter because you weren ' t paying attention anyway, because your mind was too occupied with the thought of LUnCH. Why does time always seem to become stagnant right before lunch? said senior Jim Bopp. Students found different ways to make it through the day.

Relationships were common among seniors, whether it was a boy- friend-girlfriend relationship or just a strong friendship. Shown are seniors Paul Bartek and Simone Swinson; to- gether they are a match made in heav- en. We will always remember who ev- eryone went out with, and what hap- pened, when we reminisce at our high school reunions. We spent four years of our lives getting to know everyone and their idiosyncrasies. Some of us became really close in this short time period, but who knows who will be to- gether by our ten year reunion. The special times we spent together will al- ways be remembered and looked back on with tears of joy and pain. 102 SENIORS: Hall-Henderson Kevin Duane Henry: rooUiaii 2-4; uiin ciub i-,y ciukjarKe Paula Anna Hensley: spiriiciub i-4:S.a.d.d.2-4. f-reskjeni -3,4; Junior Achievement 1.2; Teachers Ai Jc 4; Prom Commiuee 3; Concert Choir 2; Colonial Staff 2.3; flarj Corps 5.

You have to admit we ' ve had a lot of great times at Clay and there are so many things that we will never forget. That is what makes high school so special. It is a place where we all grew up and learned to take on responsibili- ties, yet we always knew there were things that we could get away with because we were still just kids . It was great being a Senior, wasn ' t it? We got all the privi- leges. Everyone looked up to us, we got 6th hour release, we got Prom in our honor, and we also got out of school in May instead of June. It ' s time to move on now! I ext year we won ' t be coming back to the familiar hallways of Clay High School. Most of us will either be going to college or get- ting jobs. It will be a definite change, but it is one that we are looking forward to. As we go our separate ways, always remem- ber that we all have one thing in common. We are and always will be the class of ' 88. COHTEMPLATIMG CM THE FUTURE, se- nior Michael GavazzonI uses the time to his advantage by reading upon possible colleges.

SENIORS - CLOSING 113 Coming Of Age Becoming Juniors can mean getting your license, borrow- ing Dad ' s car, getting your first job, and growing up. it ' s a time to prepare for your future, aca- demically and socially. It is also a time to show your spirit and support for your school. When this year ' s juniors were asked what was most impor- tant to them. They replied — I think that most of the people in my class want to start lay- ing the foundation for their future so that they can be sure that they will achieve all they want to. — Dawn Fritz Doing well on the S.A.T. — Michelle Lackey Getting some school spirit and raising enough money to have the prom somewhere other than the gym. — Tammie Boyer SHOWING HIS SPIRIT WHILE WORKING in English class, Darin Hoff displays the Colonial colors.

Relationships we all have them whether they are parent child, teacher student, friend friend, or girlfriend boyfriend. Some relationships will last for years, growing closer as we grow up while others will fall by the waste side as we go our own way.

Suddenly they were accepted by the upperclassmen and were no longer considered the new kids or the little people. They now had cleared a space among the students at Clay. Many Sophomores found this year an improvement on last. Rose Koehler comment- ed, Mm more organized than 1 was as a Freshman. I know what ' s expected of me. Others agreed with her. It is much better than being a Freshman because you are a little more respected by the upperclassmen and a lot more recognized, explained Dianne McKenna. Every Sophomore had a dif- ferent view of the year as a whole. For the most part, it was a year of growing and a year of increasing responsibil- ity. The Sophomores became older in more ways than one. WAITING FOR THE BELL TO RING, Stephanie Hickman and Danny Fuerbringer relax.

We no longer had to put up with Freshmen initia- tions and we were no longer put down by the upperclass- men. There was only one prob- lem. Not many Sophomores had a driver ' s license and very few had cars. So many of us were forced to thumb it. If you were lucky enough to have a regular ride out to lunch, you were probably crowded into a small car with about eight or nine others. Otherwise, most sophomores stayed in the cafeteria, walked, or had a different ride every day. According to John Qav- azzoni and Joe Eikelbemer, they had no trouble finding a ride. We could always find a friend who had room in their hatch, they said. Karen Allen commented, getting rides out to lunch used to be a dream 1 once had. Now that my friend ' s sister has a van, 1 go out all the time. Finding transportation can be a problem for sophomores. We often have to rely on a friend, a brother, a sister, or even a parent. We uill remem- ber these days when times have changed and we are the friend, the brother, the sister, or the parent.

Many spent that time on stu- dent government and school- related activities. The officers, sponsored by Mrs. Judy Lata- nation, began raising money for the Prom. With the help of their class, they sold candy and carnations and also had a dance. Class president Stephanie Smith felt that the Sopho- mores had come a long way since last year. We ' ve had much more support this year. We didn ' t even have a sponsor Carl Sanders Aaron Sandock Dianne Sawdun Steven Schelstraete Rachel Schuitz Ann Seall Amy Sechrist Deanne Selby Breah Serwatka Charles Shields Cheryl Silver Andrew Sipes David Sloan Lori Sloma David Small Rita Smallwood Darwin Smith Shawn Smith Stephanie Smith Kelly Stansbury Charles Stewart Jennifer Stewart Kevin Stoddard Christa Sweeney Jodie Talcott Tracy Talcott Stacey Taylor Deborah Terry 132 when we were freshmen. The officers weren ' t the only one ' s involved in student gov- ernment. The sophomore members of the Student Coun- cil also put forth a great effort. They helped udth several pro- jects over the year in which all the classes took part. Whether you were an officer, a member of the Student Council, or just a soph sup- porter, we all bonded together to form the Class of 1990. We will stay together through our next two years at Clay and will always be together in spirit.

The larger population as well as the bigger school building overwhelm many freshmen. One of the major changes was in academics. It was a tough academic transition, said Erik Klein, tons more home- work and the homework is a lot harder. Another area that was different was the social scene. Many freshmen made new friends and dated for the first time. It was scary, not knowing who your friends were. said Chris Johnson. Richard Deahl didn ' t seem to have problems though he said of the transition, It was really no big deahl. Many freshmen experienced the teasing of the upperclass- men. At first, upperclassmen like Mike Cook called me a freshman every time they saw me. now he only does it about once a week, said Kathy Dippel. The majority never ex- perienced a problem with the upperclassmen, though there was one anonymous freshmen who reported being locked in his her gym locker. All in all, the class of ' 91 ' s year has gone well. Freshmen have made new friends, ex- plored new horizons and have made a lasting impression on the hallowed halls of Clay High School.

Freshman year is some- thing to be remembered. When you look back at the things you ' ve done, you real- ize just how far you ' ve come. When you ' re married with freshmen of your own, you ' ll remember the first time you tried to shave and your dad found you under an inch of shaving cream, just like you found your son this morning. Remember when you wore so much perfume that you had your best friend walk next to you all day so every- one would think both of you were wearing it? How about the first time you tried to get out of the house with make- up on and your mom said Wash it off or I ' ll wash it off for you. ? In twenty years, when you pull out this yearbook and ask, ' Did 1 really do that? , you can honestly say, Treshmen will be fresh- men.

It is, after all, because of academics that we are all here in school.

Luckily, Clay High School boasts an excellent En- glish department. This year, the area was strengthened by the addition of four new teachers: Mrs. Cynthia Bronsan, Mr. James Parent, Mrs. Jane Kurzhals, and Mrs. Catherine Payne. Mrs. Payne , Mrs. Kur- zals and Mr. Parent are English instructors, while Mrs. Bronson teaches reading. Mr. Szucs ' class in the little theater gives me a sense of what college will be like. — josh Henderson 146 ACADEMICS A new option for se- niors was Composition W131, a course taught by Mr. Dan Kasper that could be applied to- wards college credit. This class was chal- lenging, but a real ben- efit for those looking towards the future. Ac- cording to Mr. Kasper, his class ' atmosphere caused the students to be intellectually en- gaged — in the full sense of the word. Some Clay students opted for the humani- ties course taught by Mr. Roman Sysyn and Mr. Ed Szucs. This rela- tively new course (be- ing in its second year) combined both the study of literature and fine arts in order to give students a broad- er view of the wortd around them. At Clay, English class was not simply diagramming sen- tences or reading book after book. Classes put on skits, had heated discussions, wrote book reports, and watched various films to deeper their under- standing of work. Seeing Hamlet per- formed by talented Shakespearean actors really made the trage- dy come to life, said senior Michelle Gates. Although some lik- ened the English ar- ea ' s design to a hospital wing, most admitted that their time in English class was well spent. Be- cause of its variety in both levels and courses, the Clay En- glish department held a place for everyone this year. — Jennifer riorborg PLEASED WITH HER WORK freshman Gabby Varmette finishes a difficult assign- ment.

Or filled your car with six gallons of gas only to find that you have enough money for five? These are some of the basics skills we learn in math. Clay students are learning more and more each year we spend in the math de- partment. In order to know that X= Y we take algebra in our fresh- man year. Geometry teaches us that line p intersects plane M, and trigonometry shows us what triangles are Math is challenging and most of the time I ' m confused, but Mr. Gerhold makes it under- standable. — Elissa Heyliger made of. Those that ventured into calculus their senior year found out how good their math skills were. Clay ' s math depart- ment offered a wide va- riety of courses from which to choose, from algebra to calculus, as- surance to AP. Each course was on a differ- ent level and Clay ' s teachers tried to see to it that everyone ' s needs were fulfilled. Students that chose the advanced placement program were looking for a very challenging and rewar- ding four years. Some students started in the eighth grade with alge- bra and continued uath this course into the ninth grade. They fin- ished up with a calcu- lus class in their senior year, taught by Depart- ment Chairman Mr. Ken Stanklewicz. This course challenged many college courses. ' I think that the A.P. program is hard, but very rewarding. I feel that 1 am performing to my abilities, said sophomore Karin Wenzel of the AP pro- gram. Computers are an added feature In the math department. Most teachers and stu- dents feel that compu- ters are a necessity in today ' s world. Math teacher Mr. Jay Clark shares his opin- ion of computers, Computers have the potential to alter the way mathematics is taught — by per- forming tedious and time consuming calcu- lations, they allow more emphasis on concepts. — Caryn Calhoun ■iM£V:illH.

SCIENCE om the biology course you took as a freshman to My mind is as scrambled as the eggs we dropped in phys- ics. — Bryon Landerman the senior physics course, there were many different science classes to choose from offered by the Clay sci- ence department. Among the classes in the science depart- ment were biology, earth science, anato- my, chemistry, phys- ics, health, and many others. It was a nice change to be in a science class because it wasn ' t the usual sitting in one chair for a full hour. In science class, you were up doing labs, dissections, experi- ments, and other activ- ities. Although walls may be coming, stu- dents taking science could still see their friends in other clas- ses. Science was the only open area left at Clay, said junior K.C. Bohn. Besides needing three years of a sci- ence class, you also need one semester of health, taught by Mr. Phillip Ell. This class covered important health topics, includ- ing CPR, sex educa- tion, first aid, an d the problems associated with smoking and drugs. Many students found their scientific abilities helpful in some of their other classes, especially math. Because of knowing how to bal- ance a chemical equa- tion, it was easier to learn algebra. The teachers in the science department were always ready to help the students with the work that comes along with any science class. According to Mrs. Beth Rupel, a new teacher at Clay this year, Science isn ' t re- ally that hard if youjust put your mind to it. Science classes taught us how to con- vert feet to meters and gallons to liters, but the best thing about the science depart- ment is no matter what grade you were in or how smart you were, there was always a sci- ence class upstairs for you. — Mike Lang Ending my day with Mr. Gra- bowski is a real, well — expe nence — Erik Kline 150 Academics BUT I DOM ' T UMDER- STAMDI Mrs. Mary Short as- sists junior Joe Moody with a difficult equation. :3s rUTURE LITTLE 500 STAR senior Merci Swafford wobbles to the finish line in her physics bike race. rUTURE BOTAPilSTS in- cluding seniors Debbie Howard and Gar - Edholm seem amazed at what they see.

Being the only sophomore among freshmen in social studies isn ' t the best way to start my day. — Debbie Terry ' friendly quizzes in world history, or Mr. Dan Polizzotto ' s lively film discussions in psy- chology. Clay students could learn a lot in the Social Studies depart- ment. Every student had to complete at least three years of history-related courses in order to graduate. Classes were diverse, ranging from civics to sociolo- gy. One new addition was Mr. Qreg flumnic- ky ' s A.P. U.S. History class, which he de- scribed as challeng- ing to academically tal- ented kids who were I like my history class, but I miss hearing Mr. Fretz tell about his Canadian boyhood. — Chris Norborg bored in the regular class. The department was enhanced by an archi- tectural difference too: walls. Although stu- dents sometimes missed the social at- mosphere of an open classroom, most agreed that the change not only looked great, it enhanced learning and made concentra- tion easier as well. I love the change, exclaimed senior Kar- en Chance, last year my teacher had to yell to be heard over all the chaos. Not anymore! Sophomore Liz Hus- sey put it differently: I don ' t get confused anymore trying to con- centrate on my class while the teacher next door lectures on a whole different cen- tury. Through the instruc- tion of our social stud- ies teachers, students found that social stud- ies and history class wasn ' t only memor- izing ancient names and dates — it includ- ed learning about ge- ography, politics, and current events as well. Colleen Loeffler, a ju- nior studying govern- ment, described her class: It ' s a really fun hour. We have di scus- sed the intricate wor- kings of the American legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and have learned a lot about how laws are made. Clay students learned that studying history was valuable as a way to preserve the past, and as a means of interpreting the present. As Mr. Jo- seph Catanzarite put it: Social studies is fun, exciting, and worth learning about for its own sake. — Jennifer norborg Mr. Fretz is neat.

Bonjour, mes amis. Ca va? Hello, friends how are you? This is a rough English trans- lation from the French greeting. Clay ' s French classes tried to get a bit of French culture and customs mixed in with their bookwork. Going to French plays and eating French cui- sine were just a few of the activite s some classes participated in. Sophomore Bryan Barr expressed his opinion by saying, French class is great because it ' s like learn- ing about a whole new way of life! Que pasa? This is Spanish for What ' s happening? ' The Spanish Classes had quite a bit happening, one thing being their new Spanish Club. Generally third through fifth year stu- dents were involved with this club. The rest of the Spanish classes, ranging from first to fifth year, had Mr. Harris as their teacher. Mr. Harris is the foreign language department chairman and the Spanish Club sponsor. Hallo, the Ger- mans way of saying hello is much like our own. Some of the Ger- man classes were sparsely populated, but the dedication was not lacking. Even the most dedicated stu- dents get tired, and the German students re- laxed with a party. The Latin Club was large as usual, with ev- eryone looking for- ward to the Latin Club Banquet. Latin also welcomed a new teacher this year; Mrs. Joan Perusak taught some of this year ' s classes. As you can see, through, its active for- eign language depart- ment Clay tried to give its students an idea of what other countries are like by offering a variety of classes to ex- plore. — Caryn Calhoun I think learning a second lan- guage is important.

CHOIR ether you are a budding operatic diva or someone whose singing career seems destined for the shower, Clay ' s various choirs give an atmo- sphere in which you can better your vocal skills. Clay offers three choral groups: Mixed Chorus, Concert Choir, and Swing Choir. Mixed Chorus is primarily for under- classmen or beginning singers, while students in Concert Choir usual- ly have had some cho- ral experience. Al- though they rehearse separately, these groups combine for major concerts. The third group. Swing Choir, is more difficult to join. Interested stu- dents must pass an au- dition by singing a Broadway show tune and demonstrating dancing ability. The 1987-1988 choir season was a busy one for both Choir and Swing Choir. In addi- tion to their annual Holiday and Spring Concerts, the groups performed at a special ceremony celebrating the Constitutional Bi- centennial, on two hol- iday television shows featuring area choirs, and at Jubilation, a city-wide fine arts festi- val. As usual. Clay ' s Choirs also made a very strong showing at both district and state vocal contest. Choir members form a very close-knit group. According to ju- nior bass Carl Wash- ington: ' When I ' m in choir class, 1 feel like I ' m at home. This year was full of uncertainty for many choir students. Mrs. Dorothy Powers, the driving force behind Clay ' s vocal depart- ment, would be retiring at the end of the school year. Many were curious about who would take over her post; they won- dered if everything would change without her. However, most agreed that if the group is devoted Clay ' s vocal depart- ment will keep its repu- tation as one of the best in the area. — Jennifer Plorborg CHOIR: first row.

WITH CAMDLES AGLOW the ctioir is poised and ready to dazzle their audience at the Holiday Concert. GOODBYE MA DOT The close of the 1988 school year was a poignant time for Clay Choir students both past and present. After .33 years of teaching — 26 of which have been spent here at Clay, Mrs. Dorothy Pow- ers was retiring. Mrs. Powers ' long career evokes many memories of excellent music programs. Some of the especially nota- ble include her productions of Arnal and the Night Visi- tors. Handel ' s Messiah, the popular Jolly Olde English Evenings, and a special presentation at Notre Dame entitled Motion and Com- motion that involved sing- ers from every South Bend school. In addition to her work with Clay Choirs, Mrs. Pow- ers has been music director of many musicals through the years. Shows she has headed include Little Mary Sunshine. Brigadoon. The Pajama Game. Guys and Dolls, and The Music Man. Traditions play an import role in Clay Choirs and we have Mrs Powers to thank for each of them. Whenever we hear Getting to Know You, we will remember her. The sound of The March of The Wise Men will bring back thoughts of countless Holiday Concerts. (Not to mention those aggra- vating candles!) We will never forget our early- moming rehearsals, sight- reading books, choreogra- phy sessions, or warm-up exercises. We have our robe numbers memorized for life. The medals vje won at vocal contest will remind us of the hours of coaching she put in so that we could sing our best. Anyone who has been a part of one of Mrs.Powers ' many choirs, or seen a per- formance that she has orga- nized, can attest to her tal- ent and dedication. We wish her good luck in her future endeavors — espe- cially musical ones. But choir won ' t be the same without Ma Dot. Her stu- dents, and everyon e else whose life has been en- hanced by her music will miss her greatlv.

Belonging to the band was just like belonging to any other team throughout the school, whether it was sports or academics. The band could be heard practicing in the parking lot as the bus- es pulled up in the morning, and the stu- dent drivers made an effort to avoid them. It didn ' t matter if it was a bleak and cloudy day or a pleasant sunny morning, the band could still be seen, or at least heard, playing away under the direc- tion of Mr. Jerry Lack- ey. Another place the band could be heard, was keeping the spirit alive at home football and basketball games. From August to Pio- vember the band pre- pared special half-time routines to perform during the football sea- son. Sporting around in their new uniforms they were led by senior drum major Karen Chance. The band also pepped up Clay ' s supporters at home basketball games, playing the school fight song among others. Competition was also part of band. Members competed in the Indiana State School Music Associa- tion (ISSMA) solo and ensemble contest in late January. Competi- tion was taken serious- ly. Students even gave up lunch time to prac- tice. If you wanted to tap your feet to the rhythm of the music, going to see the jazz band in ac- tion would do it. Jazz band was separate from the band in a whole. Members not only came to school early in the fall to prac- tice marching, but also came in early for the remainder of the year. All of their practice and hard work paid off though. It was said best by senior Karen Chance, Our jazz band is the best in the city. — Caryn Calhoun I think that band has really helped my music. — Emma Bellis I really enjoy being in the jazz band, the people in it are band: first row Erm Johnston, Debbie Bartlej, Jcn„ Lc.

They start- ed off their year with a new instructor, Mrs. Denise Keuhner. She did a marvelous job with the orchestra this year, fourteen stu- dents from the Clay High School Orchestra were selected and per- formed in the all-city orchestra in early Jan- uary. The orchestra held two concerts this year for the students and faculty of Clay as well as the rest of the com- munity. Each concert was held in Clay ' s au- ditorium. The holiday concert was performed on December third and the spring concert was held on May eleventh. Each concert included seasonal music that was enjoyable for ev- eryone. The orchestra was also involved in com- petition. Members competed in the Indi- ana State School Mu- sic Association (ISS- MA) solo and ensem- ble contest in late Jan- uary. V One other thing Clay ' s orchestra was involved in was Jubilation . Jubila- tion occurs approxi- mately every five years. It was held at Century Center and in- cluded many musical groups from the Mi- chiana area. Playing for the grad- uating class of eighty- eight will be the orch estras last official act ' this year. Playing some of the last tunes the gradu- ates wall hear in the halls of Clay High School will be an im- portant aspect of Clay ' s orchestral de- partment. Just like anything worth while, all of this did not come about easily. Hard work and dedication were both needed to perform well in the orchestra. This year it all paid off.

Or do you think it would just be fun to ham it up in front of a live audience? For those interested in an acting career, the drama class offered second hour fit the bill. Students performed short scenes, skits, and monologues for the class. Critiques of- fered by both Miss riancy Shelley and class members were meant to help the ac- tor improve his or her Dramatic expression was not limited to a classroom. Clay High offers two clubs relat- ed to theatrics: Drama Club and Improv Club, both sponsored by Miss Shelley. The Dra- ma Club puts on two productions each year. Featured in the fall was a comedy — ' Get Smart based on the T.V. series by Mel Brooks. The spring play, Sometimes I Wake Up In The Middle Of The riight, dealt with and was written by high school students. To be considered a member of the club, one had to act in or work on one produc- tion. Hard labor be- hind the scenes was ten a way for students to become familiar with drama. As sopho- more Greg Backus put it: ' Manning the spot- light was a beginning to what 1 hope will be a long and fruitful ca- reer in the dramatic arts. Clay ' s Improv Club had another success- ful year in 1987-88. Four shows were pre- sented, each featuring machines, ' freezes, ' and a well rehearsed melodrama, as well as the improptu skits that give the club its name. Said sophomore Cheryl Silver: I enjoy the excitement in- volved in thinking up a witty skit. Whether it was in drama class, or in the Drama and Improv Clubs, Clay offered its students many differ- ent opportunities for expressing them- selves in the 1987-88 season. — Jennifer Dorborg A BUMCH or DUMB BLOMDES ' . . . juniors Dawn rritz and Alyssa Tuck- er, sophomore l onica Mack, and freshman Jenni- fer Dahlberg get down to the beat of Bad.

Some of these crea- tions, because of their lasting beauty and sig- nificance are consid- ered worlds of art. Clay offers a wide va- riety of classes de- voted to exploring art. Basic Art, a class for beginners, stressed ru- dimentary design prin- ciples. More advanced courses, such as Sculpture and the A. P. Studio were geared to- wards those thinking of an artistic career. Another branch of creative expression was demonstrated in Mr. Roman Sysyn ' s photography classes. Students mastered ba- sic camera use and print making as well as studying the aesthetic side of good photogra- phy. Mr. Sysyn extolled the virtues of his stu- dents, calling them hardworking, dedi- cated and unique. Those who took courses in the art de- partment represented the whole spectrum of Clay ' s student body. Some considered art class a prelude to a fu- ture as an artist or craftsperson. Art teacher Mr. Ray Stafford commented on the creative talent of Clay students: lam proud of the success many of our graduates are having pursuing careers in art. Others simply wanted to expe- rience a class that de- viated from the aca- demic norm. Said se- nior Mark Bridwell: 1 love my art class — it ' s a creative escape! By studying art. Clay students gained long lasting talent andi knowledge. Art is time- less. According to Aus-- tin Dobson: All passes. Art alone Enduring stays to: Us.

Being Publications takes a lot more dedication than I thought it would. It ' s quite an experi- ence. — Shelley Cuskaden on the MinUTEMAn or the COLOniAL staff is a big responsibility for anyone. Along with editor Steve Knitter and advi- sor Mr. Robert Krause, the entire MIPiUTEMAPi yearbook staff worked hard all year long in or- der to produce a book the entire student body could admire and look back at many times in the years to come. Creating the year- book took a great amount of patience and dedication. On several occasions staff members stayed after school as late as eight o ' clock just to put on the finishing touches. According to advisor Mr. Robert Krause lt takes about five times as long as you think it will to finish something in publications. The COLOPilAL staff, headed by Editor Sar- ah Winters, had to go out and find stories to write about that would interest and inform Clay students. This staff had a deadline ev- ery two weeks and nev- er had time to waste. If it hadn ' t been for Mrs. Barbara Curran ' s help in the computer room, both these staffs would be lost. You could always find someone on the publi- cations staff typing away at the keyboards in her room. Another publica- tions — based class at Clay was the creative writing class headed by Mrs. Bonnie Hoover. This class met every third hour in the En- glish area. The stu- dents created poetry and short stories, us- ing their own individ- ual style. The class is best] known for their publi- cation the ARSEPiAL. This magazine con- tains some of the best poems and stories cre- ated by the the class as well as work submitted by the entire student body. — Mike Lang Being an artist for the news- paper helped me to better my drawing skills. — Doug Cole I thought publications was going to be easy but after two years, it ' s a large responsi- bilty. — Chris Grummel 166 Academics RACIMQ AGAINST THE DEADLINE sophomore John Qavazzoni and junior Noel Easton work in year- book.

BUSINESS you have ever wanted to run your own business My business law class taught me a lot of things about the law and my rights that I didn ' t know. — Desiree Shaw The courses are good to take if you want to get a degree in something related to busi- ness. — Simone Swinson I learned about many differ- ent types of law and their terms. — Lance McKeel 168 Academics or just get an idea of how they work, one of the many business classes at Clay could help you. You could have your own com- puter or typewriter, your own desk, and all of the other needs. You could also take a Business Law class to help you under- stand what the legal rights are for both businesses and peo- ple. One of the business clubs you could get in to is D.E.C.A. (Distribu- tive Education Cooper- ative Association). Sponsored by Mr. Mark Tobolski. In this class, students learn about management and mar- keting. According to Mr. Da- vid Qleason, a busi- ness teacher at Clay, Most of the students don ' t feel they need to take a business course in high school, but many students come back to say how help- ful it was for college . Another club choice could be O.E.A. (Office Education Depart- ment). This class is sponsored by Ms. Pa- mela Decker. These students attend clas- ses for half a day and then work in an office the other half. They learned how to run and maintain an office as well as learning how to use all the necessary equipment. Over the years, many of the jobs in the business department have been made eas- ier because of technol- ogy. Typing is easier because now by the aid of computers, a pa- per doesn ' t have to be rewritten just to cor- i rect a small portion. | For someone plan- | ning to pursue a busi- ! ness career or for I someone just wanting i to get a better idea of how a business works, one of the many busi- ness courses at Clay could be a big help. According to previ- ous students, a busi- ness course in hig h school can help out a lot when you are get- ting ready to enter the real worid. — Mike Lang .

INDUSTRIAL ARTS y to imagine the amount of different skills a person Studying electronics has been a most rewarding experi- ence throughout high school. — leff Sriver could learn in the in- dustrial arts depart- ment at Clay High School. Clay has a dif- ferent program for each student ' s needs. Nany students have saved themselves a lot of money and given themselves satisfac- tion by fixing or mak- ing what they w anted. Students were able to bring in their cars and repair them them- selves without having to pay a high price and go without their car for days. Others could construct different items in shop classes. Included in the many classes Clay has to of- fer in the Industrial arts department are woods, engineering, metals, machine shop, wiring, and auto me- chanics. Interested Clay stu- dents were able to take these courses to get a head start on the fu- ture, because there were many skills to be learned. These skills started out from basic learning of the tools needed and went on to know- ing exactly how to use these tools and exactly what could be done with them. Many students were able to take more than one year of classes so that they could gain a better knowledge of the many different as- pects of industrial arts. These courses could also run together. One could design some- thing in a drafting class and have it made in a or metals class. It often took a lot of hard work and talent but in the end you had a custom designed product that you made yourself, or a new skill you could call your own. Everyone in the in- dustrial arts depart- ment agree that after a lot of hard work, the fi- nal product — some- thing they m be able to keep and put to use for a very long time — is one of the best parts of participating in one of Clay ' s many indus- trial arts courses. — Mike Lang 1 learned a lot of things in auto shop that will come in handy. — Kelly Kimble What I enjoy most in indus- trial arts are the lectures in class. — Glenn Brenneman MAKIHG SURE IT LOOKS PERFECT senior Jimmy Riggs smoothes out the wood. 170 Academics V.

Clay ' s home eco- nomics department may be able to help you out. Some of this years classes included Gourmet Cooking, Specialty Foods, and Foods 1 and II for the future chefs and home- makers. This class was taught by Mrs. Can- dace King. Clothing and Textiles and Hous- ing and Design were classes for some of the developing designers. There was also a Child Development class. Mrs. Marceil Vo- der invited children be- tween the ages of one and five into the class- room for a short period of time. The class stud- ied how the children behaved and reacted to certain situations. Home Economics Related Occupations (HERO) was a class of- fered to seniors this year. Students went to school three hours a day, then left the other half of the day to go to work. Jobs obtained by the students had to be related to home eco- nomics. If playing Softball or baseball was what you liked to do, then Clay ' s Physical Education Classes were for you. Swimming was a six week requirement this year, so whether the girls wanted to get their hair wet or not, it was unavoidable. Games ranging from volleyball to floor hockey were played by the girls, while the boys played games like basketball and football. A health and fitness test was given this year by P.E. instructors Miss Joan Mitchell, Mr. Mike Kuntz, and Mr. Leon- ard Deranek to both the girls and boys gym classes. Tests such as the twelve minute run, number of sit ups in a minute, and how many chin ups could be done (arm hang for the girls) are a few ex- amples of the skills tested. Because this test was given nation- wide. Clay students compared their physi- cal abilities to those of students across the country. — Caryn Calhoun H.E.R.O. first row: Kris Wenslts, Scott Tucknott, Michelle Winger, Mrs. Yoder second row: Sherry Middledton, Lori Grain, Tami Mulligan, Becky Hartman, Jaton Hughes, Valreese Wil- liams third row: Janet Krojniewshi, Deborah Ritchie, Lamont Waggoner, James Talcott, Leon Perry Jr., Jon Snyder, Kevin Moss fourth row: Dawn Smith , Lori Adams, Tricia Thomas, Cassandra Mope, Evan Leyba, Tara Francis.

Tom Boy ' Cheesy Smile Senior Memories 201 Seniors take one lost look bock This is it! We ' ve been pre- paring for this day for twelve years. We ' re finally graduating, going our own ways. Some of us on to college, some to jobs, others are just moving on. But we are all leaving each other. In some ways it will be sad and in other ways scary. Out in the real world, we will meet new people, make other friends, be on our owTi. We ' ll be learning more about life through expe- rience than books, remember- ing the words of past teachers and even at times wishing we were back with those teachers. But we ' re free! Free to make our own choices. For those of us going to college or away from home that means most of all, no more curfews. We can come and go as we please and have no one hover- ing over us reminding us to homework . . . but then again, there won ' t be anyone to do our laundry either. Some of us w4ll go to work, others will go into the service, while many will go to college. no matter what path we find ourselves walking after gradu- ation, whether we ' re walking together or alone, we ' ll always remember the good times and the friendships we made while growing up as the Class of ' 88. After four long years, our paths separate as we say good-bye to small segments of our lives; these brief moments had a great effect on our thoughts and personalities. As we walk up to receive our di- plomas, those special mom- ents will flash before us as we bid Clay High School a final good-bye.

THE SPIRIT or Qivin Thoughout the year we could see the spirit of giving growing. . . ' (bend ' Tis better to give than it is to receive. ' So goes the old saying, and the Colonials this year proved it in many ways. Through- out the year we could see the spirit of giving growing, from that first day in August to graduation in June. The 1987 Food Drive brought more items than any other school and broke Clay ' s impressive previous record. A special spirit could be felt as students and teachers gave of their time — and them- selves — to make this past year the best one yet. — Steve Knitter SHARING A JOKE, juniors Nathan Bar- ber and Greg Mueller enjoy themelves at a Friday night party after a long school week.

But then we would not have experienced all the things that make high school what it is. As we look around the bend, we see that there are many more bends ahead.

HE PEOPLE BEHIND IT ALL It all started last summer with the theme of ' Just Around the Bend. ' Little did I know what was ahead of me for the next nine months. It took many hours to get that last picture printed, retype the copy, and small all those pages. The staff all worked very hard I BEND on a product we never got to see until long after the ff Pff last page was finished. We enjoy seeing all our hard work [ jy printed, for the last two weeks of school, but it is even better when we pick up the book in twenty years and see the work we did on it and wonder how we got it to come out like it did. We are putting a part of our lives on paper to remember forever. fianl i0 ou... Thank you, to all the staff for all the hard work and dedica- tion it took to produce this book. You were the most impor- tant ingredient to the yearbook. There is no way I could have done it without you. Thank you to all the community businesses for supporting our book and trusting us by putting their name in it, where it lasts forever. Mr. Bob Henning, you have been a huge asset to our book, in design, company related things, and your experience. Mr. Gary King and Mr. Ray Dobbs, thank you for the numerous pictures that you had to rush at the last minute, coaching our own photographers, and great service to our book. Our book would be quite boring without pictures. The whole administration has had a big part in this publica- tion, which includes Mrs. Donna Schumaker for keeping track of all our earnings. Thank you for understanding when it was deadline time, when we interrupted to sell, and for giving us this marvelous Apple Macintosh and Laser Printer. The computer was sometimes as an important as some of the staff members. I can ' t even count the hours you have put in with me after every other teacher was at home, not thinking about school, while you were still here working on some last minute changes. Mr. Robert Krause you supported me and helped me through the tough spots, until the very day it came out. The Colonial staff has been good in sharing the computers and darkroom when we came to work during their time. Also to Doug Cole, who filled in as a staff artist when we called on him. Thank you, English teachers, who helped to identify people and put up with us, especially Mrs. Barbara Curran for helping us in the computer room. To the guy that helped come up with the theme and tons of other ideas that had nothing to do with his own section- thanks a lot, Doug.

Index 215 In a few weeks, it will all be over: freshmen will eagerly look forward to no longer being freshmen, juniors anticipate making top dog, teachers think about a well-deserved summer off, and seniors prepare for that big graduation day and life after Clay High School.
