Crown Point High School - Excalibur Yearbook (Crown Point, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 256 of the 1987 volume:

What ' s the That’s right. “Crown Point.” Say it again. “Crown Point.” A unique chemistry between the community and the high school allowed special mo¬ ments to be experienced by both the students and the facul¬ ty during the year. Many ele¬ ments made the 1986-87 school year memorable. Hard- work, beauty, pride and pag¬ eantry, love and friendship, and good-vibrations summed up the school year. These qual¬ ities set a standard as the graduating class left its impres¬ sion for future students to fol¬ low in the years to come. The point was hard work. To the student body sweating it out was like second nature. As the tryouts for basketball be¬ gan and the castings for plays were launched, many students discovered a quality within themselves that they never knew existed. The candidates endured the pain and suffer¬ ings associated with trying-out, and hence built up their charac¬ ter. Determination, combined with hard work, gave students the opportunity to take their shots at their goals while in high school. The point was the beauty of the community. Notice the old courthouse with the intricately styled columns which form her distinctive shape. The Crown Point courthouse is undoubted¬ ly the perfect symbol of inspira¬ tion for the community which surrounds “the square.” The students in Crown Point’s edu¬ cational system have a much more modern building for their inspiration, “Dear Crown Point High,” is set back from Route 8 by green landscape and majes¬ tic trees. The students have grown to love the beauty of their school. New tennis courts mark off the west boundary while the familiar “Bulldog Turf” evens out the east side of the school. The point was pride and pageantry. The Royal Regi- THERE WAS no easy exit for senior Chris Stefankiewicz as she made the Lady Bulldog basketball team. The C.P.H.S. Bulldog hovering overhead provides a perfect backdrop as she takes a well-earned break during a rigorous practice. SHOWING THEIR CLASS, Dave Bussel (senior) and Shelley Washko (sophomore) pose in their band uni¬ forms. The Royal Regiment gave a feeling of pageantry to the half-time activities at home football games. 2 Theme SEVERAL STUDENTS congregate in the cafeteria near a holiday poster displaying the mood of the students during Christmas. GOOD TIMES occurred unexpect¬ edly as Mike Acsbok (junior) demon¬ strates his lack of balance to Mike Polomchak (senior). Theme 3 What ' S thz ment provided entertainment during the half-time of home football games. Their contem¬ porary uniforms leant a feeling of pageantry and pride to the school. Although the students at Crown Point knew the im¬ portance of hard-work, they also knew how to put on a show. The Pep Band provided sounds to amplify spirits at the home basktball games. The an¬ nual Homecoming parade ex¬ hibited the pride that the stu¬ dents had in their activities. After the parade, the glamor of the Homecoming Queen cere¬ mony touched the hearts of all of the parents, students, and faculty who attended. Class and excitement paved the way for Bulldog pride to follow throughout the year. The point was “Friends and Lovers,” appropriately the theme of the 1986 Homecom¬ ing dance. No other three words could do. Love was in the air. The young men and women of Crown Point High School enjoyed many special moments of laughter and hap¬ piness together. They attended formal dances, dated in groups, and watched the sports events. It seemed, how¬ ever, that those students who enjoyed each other’s company the most cherished the little things that they shared togeth¬ er. A walk through Saurer- man’s Woods reassured a cou¬ ple of their ability to have fun by just holding hands and being together. An unexpected car¬ nation restated the feelings that she had for him. The stu¬ dents had learned that the best thing about love was the ability to enjoy together the simple things in life. “How about if we meet at Stardust?” a student calls across the crowded parking lot after the game. The seniors and juniors would head out to Stardust in Merrillville for some late-night bowling or bil¬ liards, while the freshmen and sophomores would kick back at McDonald’s after the game. Students counted on each oth¬ er when things weren’t so good LOVE WAS IN THE AIR LIKE NEV¬ ER BEFORE. Senior Bill Yacko and Christine Smith stop amid the fall colors of Saurerman’s Woods to en¬ joy an intimate moment together. SOMETIMES BEING IN SOLITUDE is the only way to enjoy good litera¬ ture. Senior Stephanie Becht discov¬ ers an interest in a particular book in Mr. Gordon’s room before school, and expected to laugh with each other when things were great. Groups of friends met to¬ gether frequently, and this al¬ lowed individuals to remain in contact outside of school. The friendships shared at Crown Point High School played an integral role in the growth of the students. Both laughter and tears were shared as every¬ one grew together. Good times probably best summarize the 1986-’87 school year at Crown Point. The com¬ munity and the high school continued to enjoy the determi¬ nation, beauty, pride, and friendship that its inhabitants have made a trademark. An¬ other year has passed. More challenges will be faced in the years to come. New pride will be shown, and different friends will be made. A willing attitude and positive feelings made the days fun. The willingness to work hard, to love freely, and to party together was exper¬ ienced by all of the student body, and these are points that made for a great school year. MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO.

Their sport jackets and their matching scarfs kept them warm while displaying their school spirit. 4 Theme STUDENT LIFE Free time includes recreation, relaxation, jobs The school bell rings at ex¬ actly 2:30 p.m. t o dismiss the students from a seemingly end¬ less Friday. Students pour out of the school doors to the park¬ ing lots to discuss their plans for the weekend. Students have many activi¬ ties from which to choose. Stardust Bowling Alley is a popular choice for many. After bowling, a variety of movies are available at the Southlake Mall. The Putt-Putt Golf Course in Merrillville is also a hit. After some of these activi¬ ties, students go to McDonald’s or Burger King to eat and talk to friends. Some students find that they don’t even have to leave Crown Point to have fun. During autumn, football games provide time to socialize with friends, and time to cheer on players. At the close of football season, the basketball team takes over. Various clubs spon¬ sor after game sock hops in the main gym. When the sock hops end at 11 p.m., students rush to McDonald’s to catch up on all the latest gossip. Still other students are not quite as fortu¬ nate. While many students are out having fun, some have jobs and work most of the week¬ end. Most often, students work in fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Burger King, or Rax. But students also have a variety of other jobs. Some stu¬ dents work in shops in the Southlake Mall or in shops around town. Whether the weekend is spent working or playing, it is time to get away from the mon¬ otony of school temporarily.

Student Life Division 7 Prospects for the Home¬ coming game did not look promising during the school day. It seemed as if it would rain forever, and the tradition of rain during the Homecom¬ ing game would be kept. But after the school day ended, the sun broke through. There was finally a Homecoming without rain. Despite the sloppy field, the Bulldogs defeated Lowell. Mr. Football, Mike Socci, rushed for 113 yards. The rain was not the only tradition that was broken. The parade started at 6 p.m., and CRIS COWAN, ESCORTED by se¬ nior Rob Petro, was crowned Home¬ coming Queen before the game. the crowning of the queen took place before the game, rather than at halftime. But when the queen was crowned, one tradi¬ tion was not broken. Senior Cris Cowan was crowned Homecoming Queen, following in the footsteps of all of her sisters. They had all been queen of one of the dances when they were in high school. The other queen candidates were Tammy Boggess, Jennifer Johnston, and Tricia Maloney. The princesses were Lynda Lu¬ cas, Jennifer Pavlo, Megann Lesnick. WHILE RIDING IN THE PARADE, Tammy Boggess and Doug Macke still find time to wave to their friends. A pep assembly was held for the first time in three years. The Booster Club sponsored the Homecoming assembly. Many cheers echoed through the gymnasium as all of the fall sports teams were recognized. In powder puff action, the freshman and senior teams washed up the sophomore and junior teams. Monique Murga and Kris Szabo were named most valuable players. Sheila Alvarez was named the most outstanding player. 8 QUEEN CANDIDATE JENNIFER KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY, JOHNSTON and her date Mike queen candidate Tricia Maloney is Apolskis enjoy their ride in the pa- excorted by her brother, rade. ADDING TO THE HOMECOMING activities, Cindy Goldman, a mem¬ ber of the Royal Regiment, marches to the school song before the game. MEMBERS OF THE GERMAN CLUB cheer to their float theme, “A CP victory is all locked up.” MIKE SOCCI RECEIVES a hand off from quarterback Pat Lane, while Scott Grah blocks the defense. JUNIOR JOHN YOUNG RUSHES for a touchdown against the Devil defense. The Bulldogs easily defeat¬ ed Lowell 49 to 8. Homecoming 9 friends and Lovers’ Romantic theme lends magic to events of Homecoming Dance Falling leaves, brisk weath¬ er, and new romances offered a sentimental backdrop for the annual Homecoming Dance. The budding romances set the dual-theme of “Autumn Ro¬ mances” and “Friends and Lovers” in motion. The Boost¬ er Club developed the roman¬ tic theme by decorating the cafeteria with X’s and O’s, re¬ presenting hugs and kisses. Brightly colored autumn leaves also festooned the room. The atmosphere for this year’s dance seemed much more formal than that of pre¬ vious occasions. Formal attire, rather than casual, reflected the change in fashions. Dresses and suits were more sophisti¬ cated. Despite the changes in evening wear, couples were able to relax and enjoy them¬ selves to the sounds of Equi¬ nox. Couples spent the hours conversing with friends or dancing to favorite songs. The special magic of the evening helped them form long-lasting relationships which helped make the night unforgettable. One highlight of the evening was the crowning of Mr. Foot¬ ball. Diana Macis, president of the Booster Club, crowned Mike Socci, Mr. Football. After the dance, many couples dined out and enjoyed the company of friends for hours more. For the many who attended, the Homecoming Dance was a night to remember. QUARTERBACK MIKE SOCCI proudly wears the crown of Mr. Foot¬ ball. Looking on are Greg Smith, Rob Rosenbaum, and Jim Bauner, the other Mr. Football candidates.

MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT BODY glide to a romantic song. The band Equinox provided a good mix¬ ture of songs for the couples. Homecoming 11 Every day, students make choices about what to wear. Students also face the dilemma of not knowing what to wear. Mood, weather, or chance can dictate a student’s choice of clothes. Fashion is always a concern. Styles are unlimited and stu¬ dents wear every variety. The latest trends, newest ideas, and creative and individual looks are apparent in the halls and classrooms. This fashion influ¬ ence comes from movies, other countries, cities, celebrities, and what other people wear. During the year, fashion hit head to toe. Shoes and boots stepped into fashion. Sharp, sparkling silver and gold shoes came with matching purses. Boots with tassles, metallic de¬ signs, and intricate patterns, long and short western-style boots, and combat boots were popular. Hairstyles also became fash¬ ion statements. Hair was shaved on the sides, spiked, bleached, dyed, gelled, and moussed. The bobbed haircut also came back. Older and tra¬ ditional styles in both hairstyles and clothing reappeared with updated looks. Accessories accented and controlled the look of new and old styles. A distinctive belt or COORDINATING YELLOW AND BLACK, junior Paula Tobias creates a textured four-piece outfit with a sense of sophistication and style. piece of jewelry could change, make, or break the look of an outfit. Limitless styles of jean jackets, watches, sunglasses, and socks elaborated the lay¬ ered look. Combining previous styles, newly developed color schemes finished the overall appearance. Through style changes, accessories were the most important items in an out¬ fit. Whatever effect clothes achieved, styles emphasized comfort. Sporty lines such as Guess, Coca-Cola, Generra, and gym shoes were every¬ where. Brand name emblems, decals, and labels were com¬ mon, yet anything was accept¬ able. Students used fashions and fads to express their own individuality in a unique and personal way. SWEATER DRESSES with matching nylons were dressy fashions for the fall season. Senior Dawn Cope wears a multi-colored outfit, one of the many styles available. ; Brand names hit stvl les Guess. Generra dominate soortv lines: styles emphasize comfort 12 Styles BREAKING THE PEACEFUL SE¬ RENITY at the courthouse, Vicki Malone and Sue Shrader display personal versions of the all-Ameri¬ can jeans and jacket.

The cafeteria was trans¬ formed into a beautiful Christ¬ mas scene. The room, ornately decorated with balloons, pre¬ sents, and winter scenes, seemed to capture the festive feeling. A fireplace, complete with a wreath, chair, and grandfather clock, held stock¬ ings which appeared ready to be filled with seasonal goodies. The entrance to the cafeteria was a beautiful archway of red and white balloons in the shape of two giant candy canes. These decorations appropri¬ ately illustrated the theme, “Joy of Christmas.” The music was provided by the dee jay, “3-D.” Attendance appeared to have dropped for this event. A major factor for this was the date of the dance. The only available December date was the 20th. School had dismissed for the Christmas vacation the day before; therefore, many students had already left town for the holidays. After the dance, many cou¬ ples dined at a favorite restau¬ rant or gathered at someone’s house for conversation or mov¬ ie viewing. As the 1986 Turnabout end¬ ed, the “Joys of Christmas” and its memories lingered in the minds of attending couples. Turnabout 15 THE CITY OF NEW YORK gave the Statue of Liberty a big 1986 bash.

This target was the Libyan Naval A- cademy in a suburb of Tripoli. 16 News World Headliners Iran scandal, AIDS mark year; Conner wins America’s Cup XX The news headlines of the past year varied from the cele¬ bration of our country to the fear of an epidemic. Despite these variations, Americans knew well the values that have made our country great. The threat of AIDS (Ac¬ quired Immune Deficiency Syn¬ drome) has touched many lives. The fatal disease is no longer restricted to the males of our society. More than 1870 women now carry the virus. By 1988 experts predict that the total number of AIDS carriers will reach nearly 150,000 peo¬ ple. The America’s Cup may well be the most prestigious trophy in all of sporting. Busi¬ nessmen and large corpora¬ tions spend millions of dollars supporting sailors to bring home the silver pitcher current¬ ly worth a mere $700. San Diego Skipper Dennis Conner recaptured the cup with a vic¬ tory over Kookaburra, aveng¬ ing the 132-year winning streak that the Aussie broke in 1983.

Yvonne Murphy gave the invocation before dinner. The dinner, which was served at 7 p.m. consisted of mostaccioli, roast beef, parsley potatoes, corn, salad, and ice cream for des¬ sert. The band Pawnz provided the music for the night, and pies. At 9 p.m. the coronation of the royal couple began. Can¬ didates came to the front as Shelly Nicholson announced their names. Prom King candi¬ dates were Greg Vale, Steve Sroka, Delwin Swope, and Rob Petro. Prom Queen candidates were Tricia Maloney, Kim Banser, Tammy Rowland, and Renee Wendt.

Prom 19 r 1 lemorable Prom entails hours of preparation, creates many memories. Prom begins at 7 p.m., but the preparation takes place much earlier. For the girl, a dress needs to be carefully cho¬ sen so that it makes the even¬ ing perfect. She also needs to purchase many accessories. The boy, on the other hand, doesn’t have quite as many things to purchase. After all of the preparations are made, and Prom Day arrives, there are still many last minute prepara¬ tions. While the boy is outside playing basketball or occupy¬ ing his time with some other activity, the girl is carefully pre¬ paring for the “big dance.” Flowers must be picked up, make up must be put on, hair done up, dress and shoes put on, and finally, the pictures tak¬ en. Now is the time for Mom, Dad, and big sister to go cam¬ era crazy. The excitement now begins. The boy comes to pick up his date and seemingly thousands of pictures are tak¬ en. After all of the film is used, and it seems as if everyone has been “smiled out,” it’s time to go to his house so that his par¬ ents can take more pictures. The dance hour ap¬ proaches, and couples stream into St. Elijah’s Hall. The music is playing the theme song “One More Night” which reminds the seniors how close to gradu¬ ation they are. The tables are decorated with mint boxes and balloons. Shortly after prom- goers arrive, women serve the dinner of beef and mostaccioli. After dinner, the dance floor fills with young couples. The dance ends at 11 p.m., and couples depart. The Prom dance is over, but the memo¬ ries will last forever. JUNIOR HEATHER MUCH gives the farewell poem to the graduating seniors while sophomore Darcy Mor- ario prepares for her poem. Both Heather and Darcy were on the Prom Committee and helped with many things. JUNIOR ANDREA BOERNER laughs because of her friend Mi¬ chelle Markley, who had trouble managing her dress hoop. 20 Prom ENJOYING THEIR CATERED MEAL of beef and mostaccioli, Jeff Benjamin, Colette Malizzo, Tim Rowland, Linda Miracle, Scott Stew¬ art, and Carla Komorowski relax for a moment.

Graduation is a time to recall all of the memories and realize that there will be many more. It is a time to come together and real¬ ize that all people have differ¬ ent lives to lead. Some class¬ mates will move far away, and yet others will stay in town. There is no assurance that members of the Class of ’87 will ever see their classmates again. The final moment has come to say good-bye to the old times and hello to the new. Everyone has a rainbow to fol¬ low and a pot of gold to find. The Class of ’87 has a lifetime to discover their colors and let them shine. The future is theirs to conquer.

Graduation 23 tudying Students confront daily dilemma of homework and tests Homework is the most dreaded, unpopular word in a high school student’s vocabu¬ lary. Some tolerate homework and accept it as a fact of life, while others disregard it as nothing of importance. Every student has a decision to make. MTV blockbusters are on after school. Carol, Mar¬ garet, and Helen are expecting phone calls from Harold, George, and Joshua. Gerald has to work after school until 10 F.M. A varsity basketball game clamors for attendance. But a night’s homework might include a precalculus test to prepare for, 30 pages of world literature to read, three chap¬ ters of econ to look over, and a few worksheets in Spanish to complete. The homework really should be done, and preparation for that precal test is necessary, but everyone is going to that game. There are two choices: one, stay home and study and be considered a “geek”; or two, go to the game and be “one of the guys” and have fun. It’s a hard decision to make, but students face this problem every day. After school two types of students wind their ways out of the building. Some students can barely walk, because they are so weighted down with books. But other students have nothing but a can of Coke in their hands. Of course, some students have more demand¬ ing schedules which require more books than some other schedules, but students regard¬ less of work loads, set their own unique homework pat terns, some doing tons, others doing little or none. Each student has his own study style. Senior Bill Crum must have “complete silence’’ when he studies. Sophomore Dave Gilbey disagrees. “I can’t study without the radio on,” said Dave. Still others, like freshman Julie Wise, prefer studying while watching televi¬ sion. Then, of course, there is the type of student that doesn’t want to study at all. These stu¬ dents are happy just to pass. Homework decisions de¬ pend on students’ goals. Some students are very content with average grades, while others strive for perfection. SENIOR CHRIS RIVAS AND JU¬ NIOR ED MYSOGLAND discuss an assignment in their computer class. Students must learn how to make flow charts in Mr. Greg Mucha’s com¬ puter class.

Students, faculty utilize and enjoy mid-day intermission Lunch at Crown Point High School is undoubtedly the high point of the day. While the students may not listen to the other morning an¬ nouncements, they invariably seem to catch the very last one. Mr. Paul Georgas always caps off the menu items with the familiar “chocolate, white, or two percent milk.” Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays offered the main menu with the familiar snack bar. The snack bar made available certain foods for the sweet tooths in the school. Tuesdays and Thursdays were reserved for the salad bar. Along with the regular menu and the snack bar the students could choose from a variety of healthier foods. Regardless of what the stu¬ dents decided to eat, or not to eat, their lunch time was an es¬ sential part of their school day. Many students who found it dif¬ ficult to make-up tests before or after school found conve¬ nience in working during their lunch. Many of the teachers opted to spend some of their lunch time grading papers or planning class schedules. The lunch hour also gave students the opportunity to discuss plans for the weekend or to catch up on the latest news. Both the faculty and the stu¬ dents looked forward to the mid-day intermission as a time to relax. JUNIOR JODI STEMLER EYES the pizza of Kelly Robinson.

PROM IS EVEN MORE SPECIAL FOR A couple who has been togeth¬ er for a long time. Senior Ted Hein and junior Darcy Morario enjoy the evening. BEING SUPPORTIVE of a boy¬ friend’s abilities in activities is impor¬ tant in a relationship. Valerie Craw¬ ford watches her boyfriend John Pappas play baseball. 28 Dating 1 he Dating Game Dates range in nature from exciting to humdrum Dating 29 The perfect dream date takes place when the couple in question look at each other and smile at each other at all of the “right” times. Conversa¬ tion proceeds nonstop for the whole evening with no awk¬ ward silences, and later, the goodnight kiss sends both per¬ sons straight into heaven or a so-called “daze.” Of course, most dates don’t go quite as well. Some are disasters, some are humdrum, and others are just plain unbearable, but all dates have one common as¬ pect: they give everyone jitters — for minutes, hours, or even days in advance. Nervousness comes right along with the territory of dat¬ ing. Guys and girls alike feel pressure to do and say the “right” things on a date, but ideally, talking to a date shouldn’t be any different than talking to a friend. After all, the interest in finding more out about the other person is what a date is all about. Usually, common interests and general school gossip are talked about during the date. Although all dates don’t turn out as expect¬ ed, dating gives students new experiences and new wisdom on how to handle these or¬ deals. After all relating with others is part of life. Financial aspects of dating add to new learning, too. Mon¬ ey problems often arise in dat¬ ing. Who should pay the bill? Under the old rules, the boy paid, but times have changed. Some students think whoever does the asking should pay, but others believe the men should still always pay. Some believe it is best to go “dutch,” or in other words, each pay his own expenses. At least one good thing at school happens everyday: that is everyone has the opportuni¬ ty to meet members of the op¬ posite sex. High school stu¬ dents spend half of their wak¬ ing hours with the opposite sex. They are in the same classes, cafeteria, clubs, sports events, school dances, and even on the bus — practically everywhere in a school envi¬ ronment. High school dating is a big part of the best times of teens’ lives. Although problems occur in the dating situation, dating is a good way to broaden life and make it even more fun than it already is. Even though long- lasting love may not arise from dating, something else just might arise: friendship and, of course, learning. SOPHOMORE JENNIFER PAVLO AND senior Drew Pelley talk togeth¬ er between classes to give them¬ selves little more time together. Activities Clubs offer opportunities, involvement, fun Freshmen through seniors find special points of school ac¬ tivities to keep busy during the year. A seven-hour day spent in school easily becomes longer through involvement in extra¬ curricular activities. Students spend their free time at school obligating themselves to prac¬ tices, meetings, field trips, and SINGING “MASTERS IN THIS HALL,” Kathy Fletcher enters in an Elizabethan costume for the Madrigal Dinner. JERRY MILLER performs “Pigs on Wings” by Pink Floyd at the eighth annual talent show. Clas¬ sics allows students a showcase for their talent. events. Students give their time and ideas to create coop¬ erative, productive groups. Such activities range from the¬ atrical, musical, academic or sports-related groups. Publications, Biology Club, Math Club and Foreign Lan¬ guage Clubs provide and ex¬ pand knowledge. Talent finds a showcase in choir, band, and orchestra with regular contests and concerts. The Thespians, Madrigals, and Drama Club also provide entertainment. Kiwanis, Rotarians, Student Council, and National Honor Society emphasize responsibil¬ ity and leadership. Art Club, COE, OEA, HOE, and HERO contribute skills of creativity, business sense, and homemaking. Combining ath¬ letic ability and sportsmanship, Girls’ Varsity Club, Letter- men’s Club, and Booster Club promote school spirit. Addi¬ tional activities such as dances, pep sessions, and games intro¬ duce more social affairs. Through fall, winter, and spring, organizations help stu¬ dents and faculty concentrate on particular areas of interest. Working with the community and school, activities offer new ways to enrich the lives of those involved.

Quill and Scroll Honors 33 Staff points way Organization of dedicated students results in 1987 Excalibur 34 Excalibur Awareness is the key word to capturing lively activity can- dids. Since the occasion arises once in the school year, it’s a must for that student to make , sure there’s someone there to capture that moment. v For many people, the end result is a yearbook full of cap¬ tured memories and special oc¬ casions. Many members on the staff get a special feeling of ac¬ complishment when they open the yearbook in the fall and see that they have succeeded in 1 holding on to a unique memory that will last forever. Organization is a must for the high school yearbook staff. It only takes one memory lapse, and a treasured memory may be overlooked and forgot¬ ten. The beginning of the school year starts out at an easy pace, but the moment school comes to life with numerous activities, the staff strives to capture the special moments in picture and print. When the final bell rings, sig¬ naling the end of the second passing period of the day, any¬ one passing by the closed door may think, “Oh, it’s just an¬ other class beginning.” After the necessary minute or so for attendance, the staff comes to life. Miss Eleanore Britton’s ini¬ tial, “You may begin,” stirs an excited rush in students to grab their assignments and pick up where they left off. To an outsider peeking in the window, the class may seem a little chaotic, bu t actual¬ ly the staff is very organized. Even before the students begin their assignments, they spend many hours in preparation to avoid any mistakes. The mad rush of winter sports beginning their seasons can cause a student not famil¬ iar with the procedures of the staff to wonder, “Why are they always in such a rush?” Sports editor Chris Cowan said, “Winter is the busiest time of the year,” and “Trying to keep up with the schedule of pictures for each team can be¬ come a challenge. Early in the year, the album staff is bombarded with a myr¬ iad of student pictures. Their endurance is constantly tested throughout the school year to meet several deadlines. Stu¬ dents on the album section strive to finish one assignment only to look forward to the next. As for the business and cir¬ culation staffs, rushing around doesn’t just involve the class¬ room. In order to obtain spon¬ sors, the telephone and their walking shoes are put into use. Filing receipts, mailing large or¬ ders, and keeping track of the money that is sent in for next year’s yearbook or for patrons, are a large part of their assign¬ ment. The section that Miss Brit¬ ton considers the most hectic and demanding is the activi¬ ties. To capture candids of clubs and organizations, the ac¬ tivities staff has to keep pho¬ tographers on the move. IN THE DARKROOM John Kobza and Charles Cohen discuss whether or not the contrast is right for the Homecoming Queen picture. The fi¬ nal decision that the photographers concluded was a definite “yes.” YEARBOOK EDITORS Cris Cowan and Amy Butler look on attentively SPORTS STAFF MEMBERS.

Excalibur 35 Energetic group Small Inklings staff edits school paper MANAGING EDITOR LISA STRU- BLE accounts for the money from the newspaper sales and expenses. The Inklings staff tries to offset its printing costs by running ads for lo¬ cal businesses. The Inklings, the high school newspaper, is put to¬ gether by a small, energetic staff. The staff has interviews to set up, stories to write, and layouts to design. Although the group is small, the staff man¬ ages to get every paper out on deadline. Reporters have to attend staff meetings, set up inter¬ views and write their stories to meet deadlines. As soon as sto¬ ries are turned in, copyreading begins. After copyreading is complete, students begin word processing the stories. Us ually, stories undergo several edit¬ ings and printings to ensure clean copy for the printer. Once copy is on its way to the printer, the staff has one day for a staff meeting. Within 36 hours, the copy is back and PROOFREADING AND CHECK¬ ING the page layouts, Theresa Minas, editor-in-chief, and Shauna 36 Inklings ready for pasteup. The editors claim the hard copy and pic¬ tures for their respective pages and begin paste-up of the final copy. The paste-up is a meticulous process since everything has to be absolutely straight and must fit exactly, editors often have to rewrite headlines, cut sto¬ ries or add to them to make a picture-perfect page. While the editors are doing the pasteup, other staffers are busy proof¬ reading galleys and assisting editors with last minute infor¬ mation for stories or by writing headlines. The paper goes to press at a noon deadline and is ready for distribution the following morning. When the paper comes out, the journalism class assists the staff by selling pa¬ pers during first hour. When one issue goes to press, the next issue is already in pro¬ gress. For the newspaper staff, putting out the paper is a seemingly endless cycle that is complete only when the last is¬ sue is put to bed in May.

Inklings 37 Windfall creates art Original student literature, art work, photos combine in magazine Every year a small group of students form to create the all literary magazine, Windfall. Windfall is a collection of art work, short stories, essays, po¬ etry, and photographs submit¬ ted by the students. The Wind¬ fall staff proofreads and edits the material carefully, using Windfall criteria. The student’s work is judged on originality, imagination, and emotion. Under the supervi¬ sion of Mrs. Laurie Likens, co¬ editors Ron Polomchak and Susan Whitehouse lead the staff in a search for material that will lend the most variety to the magazine. In order to raise money for the publication, the staff holds several fund raisers throughout the year. During the fall, the staff sells candy. At springtime, they sell carnations and Reeses Pieces. In addition to the fund raisers, patrons make dona¬ tions. In May the magazine goes on sale. A ballot is included in the sale of the magazine to allow each student to vote for his fa¬ vorite piece of literature and art work. When the votes are tallied, the student with the most votes in the art and litera¬ ture categories receives $50. JUNIOR VICKI MALONE SORTS through boxes of candy.

FHA, HERO, COE, and OEA members also donated their services to help others while enriching their own vocational skills. HERO (Home Economic Re¬ lated Occupations) consists of a select group of students cho¬ sen from their applications and an interview by Mrs. Barbara White. These students worked at local businesses such as McDonald’s, Dairy Queen, and the Lutheran Retirement Home. The students’ involve¬ ment in HERO allowed them to attend school, earn money, and attain a skill at the same time. HERO participated in and sponsors many events throughout the school year. Early in the year, along with FHA (Future Homemakers of America) HERO held a balloon lift-off which corresponded with other HERO groups across the nation. Inside the balloons were messages de¬ scribing various activities of FHA HERO and also stating the city and high school from which the balloon originated. The objective of this lift-off was to receive a balloon from across the nation to find out what activities other FHA HERO groups sponsor. To ob¬ tain funds, HERO sold candles, stationery, candy canes, and carnations, along with several other products. During the Christmas season, HERO sponsored a toy drive for needy children of several or¬ phanages to bring them a touch of Christmas. To obtain gifts for the children, HERO asked students to donate any gift suitable for children and young adults. HERO received a wide selection of gifts, rang¬ ing from teddy bears to mod¬ ern day records. Members of the HERO club reviewed for Proficiency Events in the spring.

Their fundraisers included the selling of M M’s and a charm¬ ing selection of odds and ends from the Shoppers’ Helper. COE and OEA held a Thanks¬ giving food drive in order to feed ten families recommended by a local agency. Their collec¬ tion required members to go door-to-door to get food from people in the community. In honor of their employers, each individual vocational group held an Employee-Em¬ ployer Banquet to show the students’ appreciation of their employers for accepting them into their work force.

These groups consisted of two students chosen for outstand¬ ing performances in their school activities. The students were then honored for a dura¬ tion of one month in which they were recognized at either a luncheon or a dinner weekly. During one of the weekly meet¬ ings, the students being hon¬ ored present a speech describ¬ ing and explaining the activity in which they participated and their role in this activity. The Academic Decathalon team placed sixth in the North¬ west Indiana competition held Senior Ronald Coapstick uses his time wisely to study after school in his effort to do well at the Academic Decathalon where studying is tested. at Purdue Calumet. The stu¬ dents were judged by a panel of several Purdue University staff members. Each student in order to place had to complete a forty minute scan-tron test and present a three part dem¬ onstration which included an essay, a speech, and an inter¬ view. In preparation for this contest, students were coached by teachers. Alternate Emily Willett, a member of the honorary team, won an individ¬ ual first in language and litera¬ ture and a second in social studies. Glenn Burgess, a mem¬ ber of the varsity team, also won a first in language and lit¬ erature. Susan Whitehouse and Sean Gilbey are being honored at the Kiwanis Club.

Kiwanians Kiwaniennes 43 Art, spirits soar Booster Club sponsors rally; Art Club utilizes new techniques Promoting support, spirit, and enthusiasm in all activities in Crown Point High School is the main purpose of Booster Club. To kick off the year’s ac¬ tivities, the Booster Club spon¬ sored the Homecoming Dance and a pep rally. At the pep ral¬ ly, the first in three years, all fall sports teams and activities were recognized with individ¬ ual cheers for each group. Candidates of Homecoming Queen and Mr. Football were also announced at the rally. For the dance, the club hired the band Equinox. As the theme for the dance, the club chose Autumn Romances, highlight¬ ed by a favorite song, “Friends and Lovers.” Diana Macis and Jason Bordui crowned the Homecoming Queen before the Homecoming Game and Mr. Football at the Homecom¬ ing Dance. Booster Club sponsored cheer blocks at the boys’ and girls’ basketball games. The club was in charge of electing male cheerleaders, a first in the school’s history. They also se¬ lected mascots to liven up the activity at the basketball games. On April 19 the Booster Club held the MORP Dance, which, for a new twist, was a hoe down. Before the dance, the club had a hay ride. Mrs. Jeanie Zea, attendance secretary, and Mrs. Nancy Halfman, music aide, served as Booster Club sponsors. They set up a spirit store to sell many different items to pro¬ mote all teams. The spirit store eliminated the need for other fund raisers. Mrs. Diana Sykes said that the function of Art Club is to give the students a chance to work on skills they don’t have class time for or to learn art- related skills not covered in classes. The students learned many new things from Ms. Judy Hames and Mrs. Diane Sykes, the Art Club sponsors. One project of the Art Club was, making jewelry. Members learned different techniques of cutting and buff¬ ing metals. They also worked with enamel, plastics, and acrylics. The group’s size var¬ ied. Students could come to the meetings they wanted to, but they weren’t required to come to every meeting. If the students wished they could work on projects from other classes. Part of the cost for ma¬ terials used was paid for by the students, and candy sold in glass containers covered the rest.

The class takes several trips on Satur¬ days during the course of the year. The group visits Purdue University in Lafayette and In¬ diana University Northwest in Gary. While visiting the campuses, students use the schools’ biol¬ ogy facilities. Activities include using the highly sophisticated electron microscopes, explor¬ ing the stomach of a cow, and watching an autopsy. Mr. Bow¬ man says the experiences are “completely unforgettable and really stand out in the students’ minds for a period of time.” The class takes a break from dead frogs and piglets to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner pre¬ pared by Mr. Bowman with the help of his students and paid for by the students. When the students leave school in spring, their experiences in the class go along with them. The Math Club, sponsored by Mrs. Nancy May, is a group of sophomores, juniors, and se¬ niors, chosen by their math teachers. In selecting students, the teachers base their deci¬ sions on the individual stu¬ dents’ math grades. The club participates in a statewide math contest held monthly before school. In the test, students answer six ques¬ tions that require thought, con¬ centration, and analysis. The top five score are then sent down state to be com¬ pared with scores of other schools participating. The stu¬ dents participating receive a certificate for their hard work and dedication.

Na¬ tional Honor Society also pre¬ sents Honor Certificates to any student who makes the first five Honor Rolls for each year. Thus, emphasis on academics is stressed throughout the stu¬ dent body as well as with NHS’s members. NHS also upholds excellent qualities of the student as a citi¬ zen. Members must qualify in service and responsibility. A service project during the Christmas season spreads good will and cheer. A food drive and money from NHS’s treasury helped needy families in Center and Winfield Town¬ ships. The interest as citizens also shows through the participants of Boy’s and Girl’s State. Stu¬ dents learn about government officials and offices by setting up their own mock govern¬ ment. Students sign up with their U.S. history teachers and are then interviewed. The American Legion Auxiliary sponsors the delegates by pay¬ ing the $100 registration fee. Delegates spend one week dur¬ ing the summer in Terre Haute at Indiana State University.

It is these devoted individuals, led by Ms. Julia Chary and Mrs. Ruth Ann Price, who make Crown Point’s French Club so successful with the students in¬ volved. To start the year’s activities, the members built a Home¬ coming float which displayed the Arc de Triomphe, the na¬ tional symbol of France. At Christmas time, the students visited St. Anthony’s Nursing Home to share a few carols and the Christmas spirit with the residents. In February, the club mem¬ bers held a Mardi Gras party. The festive celebration gave the French students a chance not only to have fun, but also to learn more about France’s cul¬ ture. To finish the year, the mem¬ bers held a banquet at Bon Ap- petit, where they not only had a chance to enjoy the French cuisine, but also to learn a few traditional songs and dances. The German Club members were also busy increasing their knowledge of the German lan¬ guage by joining conferences, listening to speakers, and at¬ tending banquets. In February, the members attended a convention ire. Bloomington, where they par¬ ticipated in many competitions, concerning German history and vocabulary. In spring, the group went to Great America on a field trip with the money they made by selling Gummi Bears, advent calendars, and Christmas orna ments. By joining a foreign lan guage club, a student is able to 1 learn many new things about the language and culture which he studies.

Living Latin Club enjoys Saturnalia; Members attend conference Who says Latin is dead? It may have been a long time ago when the Etruscans settled in Rome, but as far as Crown Point’s Latin Club is con¬ cerned, this language is far from extinct. It’s not only the language that lives, but also the culture, art, decor, and festivi¬ ties of the Romans. For the participants of this club, a year full of banquets, meetings, fieldtrips, campaign¬ ing, fundraisers, competitions, and reliving the past traditions keeps them in constant mo¬ tion. A student who joins Mrs. Kernagis and her Triumvirate is in for a busy year of hustle and bustle. Almost immediately, the club members are propelled into action with a trip to the Field Museum of Natural Histo¬ ry. The members have the op¬ portunity to learn many facts pertaining to the homes and cultures of the Romans. The club also enjoyed the cuisine of Diana’s Restaurant, a Greek cafe located in Chicago. There the students enjoyed flaming Saginnacci cheese, roasted lamb, prepared salads, and traditional dances with the owners of the restaurant. Afterwards, they visited a bak¬ ery which specializes in Greek pastries. To involve themselves in the ancient Roman’s art, the club participants traveled to Indian¬ apolis to see “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” While there, they en¬ joyed a buffet-type meal and participated in a slave auction along with other local Latin clubs. In February, the Saturnalia, a festive celebration, took place. The festivities began with the sacrifice of an authen¬ tic pig. First year students, who act as slaves to the seniors, car¬ ried and served the food. After¬ wards, Mrs. Kernagis honored her fourth year students with a certificate of achievement and a yellow rose. During foreign language week, the students participat¬ ed in making posters with Lat¬ in words, pictures, and themes. The foreign language depart¬ ment also held a “Welcome to the U.S.A.” party for the for¬ eign exchange students attend¬ ing Crown Point and other lo¬ cal school systems. Club members also enjoyed attending the International Conference at Stetson Univer¬ sity in Florida during spring break. During their seven-day stay, the contestants partici¬ pated in several contests in¬ cluding project judging, a real chariot race, and even pulled an authentic chariot. They also took part in the Certamen, a game-like contest in which members of their team answer trivial questions about Latin grammar, history, and mytho¬ logy. In joining this group, a stu¬ dent opens himself up to many chances to further his under¬ standing of the Latin language, its customs, and traditions. Whether it is through competi¬ tions and conferences or field- trips and festivals, the opportu¬ nities to increase knowledge are endless. 52 Latin Club “SALVE TRIUMVIRATE!” Just like IT WAS A SAD MOMENT when the ancient Romans, the Latin Club Mrs. Ruth Kernagis, sponsor of the has chosen three people, Lynne Latin Club, made her farewell Ford, Sean Gilbey, and Dawn Pierce, speech to the senior members gradu- to govern them. ating this spring.

Back Row: The members of Crown Point Spanish Club aren’t just taking a class, they’re learning more about Spanish culture, people, and customs which af¬ fect the language which they study. This year, to increase their knowledge of the Spanish speaking culture, the Spanish Club visited several restaurants which specialized in Mexican food. One place was Fiesta Mexico, where the members enjoyed spicy burritos, special¬ ly prepared tacos and tostadas. The students also attended a performance of “Christmas Around the World” at the Mu¬ seum of Science and Industry, where they were able to not only enjoy the traditions prac¬ ticed in Spain but also in many of its neighboring countries. This year’s members used their dues and the money from their fundraisers to pay for the re¬ freshments at meetings, prizes for games, meals at restau¬ rants, and materials for For¬ eign Language Week. During the Foreign Lan¬ guage Week, sponsored by the Foreign Language Depart¬ ment, the Spanish Club made buttons containing the slogan “Everyone Smiles in the Same Language” and posters which hung in the hallways to remind people of the activities planned for the week. By joining Span¬ ish Club, students not only learn more about a very useful and popular language, they also learn about the people and culture to which it belongs. 54 Spanish Club SOPHOMORE LARISSA HOYT party.

Spanish Club 55 Varied participation Council aids with ' Blood Drive buys video equipment for school Student Council played a prominent part in a wide vari¬ ety of school activities. Among these activities was the Annual Blood Drive. At the Blood Drive, the Student Council helped the local Red Cross Unit by signing up students and welcoming them at the donor station on the gym balcony. As a tradition, the Student Council sponsored the first sock-hop of the new school year. The dance was held after a home football game. Student Council helped the administra¬ tion in widening the students’ knowledge of the court system by assisting with Law Day. The Student Council also participated in the events of Homecoming week. At the an¬ nual parade several members rode in a Mustang convertible. At the Annual Open House for the students’ parents, the Student Council served as guides to help the parents find the classrooms of their sons and daughters. To raise money for the year’s activities, the Student Council kept three pop ma¬ chines filled with a wide variety of Coca-Cola beverages. With money generated from pop sales, the Student Council as¬ sisted the school by purchasing four new televisions, four new video cassette recorders, and four new stands for thee video equipment. At Christmas time the Stu¬ dent Council held a Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. To fur¬ ther the joyous season, several Student Council members dressed up in Santa Claus suits and walked from class to class giving each student a large can¬ dy bar. Throughout the school year, the Student Council kept in touch with both the students and the faculty by assisting with various functions and ac¬ tivities for the students’ bene fit.

The team gives students practice at speaking and helps them devel¬ op a sense of poise. Students may choose from a wide vari¬ ety of events such as discus¬ sion, duo-interpretation, ex¬ temporaneous speaking, and many other speaking events. The Drama Club sponsors all of the theatrical productions that are staged at the high school. The club allows talent¬ ed students to show their abili¬ ties.

Bill Bunchak starred as Billy Crocker, who pursued the girl he loved on a ship bound for England. Billy assumed the identity of Public Enemy No. 1. after he obtained the murder¬ er’s ticket in a chance meeting with Public Enemy No. 13. “Now that the musical is over, I wish it wasn’t. Only two performances weren’t really enough when I worked so long PERFORMERS HAD TO LEARN many dances for the musical. Mem¬ bers of the cast display their skills as and hard, even though I loved rehearsing it just as much as actually performing it,” Bill said. Ron Polomchak played Public Enemy No. 13, who was called Moonface, and who later became Billy’s friend. Billy finally gained the re¬ spect of Hope Harcourt, por¬ trayed by Kerry Margis, after he shed the false identity in a dramatic speech to all the pas¬ sengers. “I had fun. I wouldn’t be in it if it wasn’t fun! I really learned something, too. For a while, it seemed like we couldn’t get it done, then everyone sort of brought it together the last week. I learned the power of a they dance to the song “Anything Goes.” 62 Musical common goal,” Kerry ex¬ plained. Hope was en route to Eng¬ land to marry Sir Evelyn, played by Jerry Miller. But in the end, Billy won her love and Sir Evelyn fell for Reno Sweeny, an evangelist turned nightclub singer. Beth Gill por¬ trayed Reno, who at first was only helping Billy by breaking up Hope and Sir Evelyn. Dana Henderson played Bonnie, who was in the midst of the action as Moonface’s ac¬ complice. “I loved it! People kept ask¬ ing me after the play if it was hard to talk with an accent, learn the dances, and memo¬ rize my lines. It really wasn’t because I was enjoying myself so much! I’d play Bonnie any¬ time,” said Dana. A cast of 29 students pre¬ sented the production, direct¬ ed by Mr. Marion Kellum. Mr. James Haney directed the sev¬ en-piece musical ensemble. The play’s success was due largely to the dedication of its performers.

On February 28, March 1, March 5, March 6, and March 7, many drama students, after working many hours to memorize their lines and perfect their roles, put on their first Shakespear¬ ean play. A number of players ex¬ pressed their reaction to the play,. Junior Scott Waldron, a veteran actor said, “Being one of the lead actors, I enjoyed watching the progress of the show. It was challenging to in¬ terpret Shakespeare to a mod¬ ern audience. The excitement of the cast and crew was excel¬ lent. The show as a whole was hard and challenging to do, but it all paid off.” Junior Chris Lantz said, “I enjoyed the acting. Most peo¬ ple don’t realize how hard it is for an actor to do Shake¬ speare. It was a challenge be¬ cause I had no idea what I was trying to say.” Junior Glenn Burgess, one of the technicians, said “I en¬ joyed making the sound tape. There were many different themes that had to be discov¬ ered from many different sources. It left a lot of room for creativity.” Senior Jerry Miller said, “The main thing I enjoyed about A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the character I was playing. Shakespear has some of the best clown roles and Bot¬ tom happens to be one of my favorites, along with Touch¬ stone from As you like it and the Fool from King Lear. I also enjoyed the aura of fantasy and magic that surrounded the show. All in all, it was quite a memorable and exciting last high school performance for me.” Senior Dana Henderson said, “I loved the whole experi¬ ence. I love shows, and this one was just a bigger challenge. It came around at a beautiful time for me because it was in my senior year, so I’d had three years to grow before this chal¬ lenge came along. There were also a lot of good parts so there wasn’t much envy involved in this play, which many other plays do have. Many people have asked if the language was a problem. Really it wasn’t. It just took a little bit of patience. The story was a story for all time. Love is real and contin¬ ues through all languages.” Shakespearean Play 65 A CAPPELLA CHOIR: Front Row: James Hubinger, Mary Niesen, Ker¬ ry Margis, Debby Whelan, Jenny Lindell, Jackie Mays, Laura Carl, Chrissy Flores, Johanna Scherschel.

The select members of the Madrigals, who also included a certain extent of play-acting in their performances, displayed their talents at various civic clubs around the holidays. Throughout the school year, the Madrigals keep in practice by performing at several din¬ ners that they hold. Their prac¬ tice, efforts, and dedication to this select group rewarded them with superior ratings at both district and state ISSMA competitions. The choir section of the musical groups also benefited from their efforts. The Girls’ Choir, which performed at sev¬ eral events throughout the year, received a II rating at the ISSMA competition. The Boys’ Choir, which also attended the ISSMA competition along with the other choral groups, re¬ ceived a I rating for their per¬ formance. The select group of the A Cappella Choir participated in the first CPHS Fine Arts Festi¬ val and provided lively enter¬ tainment. Also, the A Cappella Choir received a I rating at ISSMA. The choirs and Madrigals definitely had a rewarding year as their practice paid off. The excellent ratings at the ISSMA competition reflect this.

Many band students perform exceptionally well, but Mr. Deal accepts only the best. He said, “Many outstanding per¬ formers audition, and enroll¬ ment is the largest ever. The quality of orchestra students has never been better.” An October concert includ¬ ed “Mahler’s Third Sympho¬ ny,” Der Meistersinger Over¬ ture,” by Wagner and Pachell’s “Canon.” At Christmastime the or¬ chestra and the choir per¬ formed together the traditional “Halleluia Chorus,” Christmas carols, and selections from Tchaikovski’s “Nutcracker Suite,” and a Christmas med¬ ley. Later in the year, the orches¬ tra participated in the Fine Arts Festival. Composer Ni¬ cholas D’Angelo composed and conducted a symphony called “Temples of Earth” es¬ pecially for the orchestra. Mr. D’Angelo, provost at Hobart College in New York, said that he was elated at the perfor¬ mance of his symphony by the orchestra. Performing at the ISSMA (Indiana State Student Music Association) district contest, the orchestra received a rating better than any ever received in the history of CPHS. The orchestra has been ranked sev¬ enth in state and therefore qualified for the state final. During teachers’ institute days, Jeanie Cherbak, violinist, and Ron Polomchak, bass play¬ er, demonstrated their talents at the Indiana All-State Orches¬ tra at the Indiana Music Educa¬ tors Convention in Indianapo¬ lis. To qualify, the students were required to tape auditions with scales, exerpts, and a group one solo. In January, orchestra stu¬ dents performed in ISSMA’s solo ensemble contests in High¬ land.

R egiment. Royal Regiment earns first division rating at competition The Royal Regiment earned a first division rating at the Dis¬ trict ISSMA competition at Penn High School in Mishawaka. The group re¬ ceived a second division rating at ISSMA Regionals, but was not able to qualify fo r state. The summer provided an opportunity for senior drum major David Bussel to earn a first class division drum major award. He went to camp and scored extremely well. Only two others did as well. The col¬ or guard also went to camp and earned a trophy for the one of the highest scoring squads in the competitions. Senior Kim Quale was unex¬ pectedly appointed to the posi¬ tion of drum major because of the sudden illness of freshman Shelley Washko. Ten freshmen qualified for All-Region Junior High Band this fall. Since only 90 seventh, eighth, and ninth graders are accepted, this is a very high honor. To up-date their look, the color guard, with a little help from the Band Boosters, pur¬ chased new uniforms. To help pay for the uniforms, the color guard sold gumbo at the Taste of Crown Point and sponsored a bake sale. The color guard members outshine everyone in their new silver-sequined uni¬ forms. The Royal Regiment’s sea¬ son opened during the summer with the band marching during the early hours of the morning to prepare for the Fourth of July Parade. When football season started, the band rose even earlier to practice before school for its half time show. After football season, the Roy¬ al Regiment with its flag twirl¬ ing color guard did not per¬ form publicly until the Memori¬ al Day Parade. JENNIFER KOENIG AWAITS her entrance into a song during a half¬ time performance. The Royal Regi¬ ment dutifully performed halftimes in all weather.

Students partici¬ pating in dramatic activities are also eligible to receive let¬ ters. The GVC released hundreds of balloons on the night of the Homecoming game for the tra¬ ditional ballon race. Each bal¬ loon contained a ticket that was to be returned by the per¬ son who found it. The purchas¬ ers of the returned tickets that went the farthest won a prize. First prize of $50 went to se¬ nior Chris Topa. Second prize of $25 went to Mr. Hal Oppen- huis. The Girls’ Varsity Club also helped the Crown Point’s Women’s Club pack and deliv¬ er food baskets. The provisions were given to needy families for the Christmas season. During the first semester the Lettermen’s Club held a foot¬ ball party in the cafeteria to watch the Bears. The event was for members and male teachers. The club paid for all the drinks and snacks. On April 26 the Lettermen’s Club sponsored a trip to a White Sox game. To cover the expenses of the year’s activi¬ ties Lettermen’s Club and GVC sold M M’s. The Lettermen’s Club also sold Bulldog buttons and Bulldog scarfs. The major activity for both groups was the annual senior banquet. Athletes received awards for outstanding achievements. Several of the members of the Lettermen’s Club received Lettermen’s blankets. To receive the blan¬ ket an athlete must get seven letters in a sport. One of the letters may be substituted for a win at a sectional meet.

At the end of a long, hard school day, many students find themselves rushing to the locker rooms to get dressed and ready for prac¬ tice. The practices usually end at around 5 p.m., and the ath¬ letes go home to eat and catch up on some homework. SENIOR CATHY MILLER pushes herself to complete the last half of the race. Cathy was the recipient for the Positive Mental Attitude Award the past two years. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR MR. DICK WEBB and Booster Club President Don Brumfield present Mr. Russ Kel¬ ler with an appreciation award. Mr. Keller has devoted many long, dedi¬ cated years to the Bulldog Athletic Department as a trainer. The cool autumn months bring many sports. The foot¬ ball players are practicing on the basefield field, while close by the boys’ tennis players are bouncing balls back and forth. Athletes are on the move, run¬ ning everywhere, as the cross country teams prepare for up¬ coming meets. Indoors, swim¬ mers are splashing about, and volleyball players are pounding balls to the floor. As the temperature begins to drop, the winter sports be¬ gin. The sounds of basketballs bouncing on the gym floor are familiar sounds. Cheers echo throughout the gym, spurring the Bulldogs to victory. The wrestling team spend many hours working out in the gum. With the coming of spring, flowers begin to bloom, and that is all it takes to get the spring season underway. Track team members pound the pavement all over town. Base¬ ball, golf, softball, and tennis teams eagerly await warm weather and the chance to get outside and try their skills. The shout “Batter up,” is music to their ears. These athletes devote many long, hard hours of practice in an attempt to make their teams number one.

After a disappointing start, the Bull¬ dogs decided to turn around and win. After losing the first three games, the Bulldogs won the next six. The Griffith game was the turning point of the season. The Bulldogs traveled to Grif¬ fith with no wins, and they came home with a big victory. [hat win gave both the fans p layers new confidence, and it also began a winning B ulldogs would go on tdUJI!P( jext six games. They ended the season with a respectable record of 4-4. Coach Smith said that the Bulldogs made a great effort to turn the season around, but it was a little too late. In sectional play, the Bull¬ dogs defeated the Portage Indi¬ ans in the first game. This gave the ‘Dogs a chance to play the Lake Central Indians. The Bull¬ dogs’ efforts were not enough to defeat a tough Indian team, as they lost 18-0 to end the sea¬ son. Coach Smith said the team had talent. This talent was rec¬ ognized by a number of awards. Greg Smith received All-State Special Mention, All- Conference First Team honors, and MVP. Mike Socci and Scott Barber were also named All- Conference First Team, and Scott received an All-State Honorable Mention Award. Sophomores Mike Minch and Jeff Gatch, and junior Jim Pause received Junior All-State Special Mention honors. SENIOR MIKE SOCCI is forced to punt in the homecoming game against Lowell.

Volleyball 91 _ Triumphant Six qualifiers compete at State Meet The anticipation grows as a swimmer hears her event called. She walks to ' ftwr j J ing block, and her stomachfmP with lively butterflies. She steps onto the block, where she readies herself for the official’s signal. Bang! Off she goes! She kicks furiously, and she pushes herself to catch up with her op¬ ponent who is only inches away. She feels herself falling farther behind, and her mind starts to race with thoughts of losing. She becomes furious at herself, and she begins to push herself harder! Her legs strain and become weak as she glides over the cold water. She does not think of the pain, but only of coming in before her oppo¬ nent. After what seems like an eternity, the race that really lasted only a few moments is over. This exciting scene typifies a normal swimming meet. At each meet competitors push harder and harder to outdo their opponents and to achieve victory. Led by first year coach, Mrs. Brenda Lee, the Lady Bulldogs ended a successful season with a record of nine wins and three losses. The girls were able to captu W8|jjlace in both the Conference and Sectional Meets and advanced to the State Meet in November. At the State Meet, the team placed six qualifiers.

Th BMM girls’ varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders backed their teams 100 percent throughout the year. Unlike other activi¬ ties, cheerleading begins in the summer and continues over the entire school year. Both squads began to pre¬ pare for the upcoming season by attending camps this past summer. The girls’ varsity cheerleaders attended camp at Notre Dame University and the rest of the squads attended In¬ diana University. All of the squads did very well in compe¬ tition. Each squad received a spirit stick along with many rib¬ bons. Two of the varsity cheer¬ leaders for the boys’ Sports, Natalie Morrow and Jennifer Johnston, qualified for Nation¬ als but did not attend. The en- «tGirls’ Varsity squad quali¬ fied andwent on to compete at Nationals in Nashville, Tennes¬ see duffl feKferistmas break. Because of the small size of their squad, the competition was very difficult. Once the football season be¬ gan, the girls were ready to cheer. They also had many fund raisers during the football and basketball seasons. At the football games they sold taffy apples to the fans. M M sales at school were also a big hit. At Christmas time, all of the squads sponsored the annual Turnabout Dance. Two after game sock hops held in the main gym were sponsored by the cheerleaders. They were also popular with the students. At the end of the year, the girls sold Mother’s Day flowers. The day of the Homecomng game, the cheerleaders partici¬ pated with the CP-ettes and the Booster Club in sponsoring the first pep session in four years. All fall sports were hon¬ ored along with Drama Club members. Another pep session was held before the Boys’ Sec¬ tionals.

Bie CP-ettes kept on their toes. With songs by Janet Jackson, New Edition, Diana Ross, Yez, and many oth¬ er well-known performers, the squad was able to keep the at¬ tention of many pre-game and half-time viewers. But the squad was not only occupied with keeping the viewers hap¬ py, the girls were also busy at¬ tending pom pon camp and na¬ tionals. On July 23 through 26, the CP-ettes attended the NCA Su¬ perstar Pom Pon Camp, spon¬ sored by the National Cheer¬ leading Association at Valpar¬ aiso University. During the days the girls attended camp, they received various ribbons or individual performances, as ell as for squad perfor¬ mances. The girls not only re¬ ceived ribbons, they were also awardecM ipirit stick and a trophy for their outstanding performances. The CP-ettes were one of 25 squads chosen to attend nationals in Califor¬ nia. On January 2, 26 girls packed their bags and headed to the “Golden State.” In Cali¬ fornia the girls competed against many other squads from all over the United States. The girls returned from their trip on January 5. For one CP- ette, senior Kim Quale, the ex¬ citement didn’t stop there!

With her help and the aid of various fund raisers, the CP-ettes were able to purchase new uniforms. The co-captains were senior Kim Quale and senior Amy Gross. The new, smiling faces of the freshman cheerleaders brought a touch of enthusiasm to the freshman basketball and football games. Whether it was a victory or a defeat didn’t mat¬ ter, the cheerleaders were al¬ ways ready, willing, and able to boost their team’s spirit. Moving up into the high school holds many new chal¬ lenges and experiences for the cheerleaders. One challenge they had to face was a number of fund raisers. The cheer¬ leaders also participated in the first pep session held in four years. During the summer, the cheerleaders attended cheer¬ leading camp sponsored by the United Cheerleading Associ¬ ation. While attending the camp at Purdue, the girls re¬ ceived two ribbons of excel¬ lence, two ribbons of superior¬ ity, one ribbon for a job well done, and the spirit stick twice. 112 CP-ettes CP-ETTE MEMBERS.

This of¬ ten makes it difficult for a per¬ son who isn’t a member of this community to understand what happens in this school. When one walks down the halls, he can see some sights that really are pretty amazing. He may see the senior help the freshman who is lost find his class, or the brain sitting and talking with the kid who could care less about his grades. He might even see the “good” kids walking with the so-called “bad” kids, or the prom queen with the shy, mousey student. When one leaves the build¬ ing, he will probably have a good feeling. He will begin to realize that the differences make students who they are, but when it comes right down to it, they are all the same in¬ side. They have similar emo¬ tions and are looking for some of the same things in life. They are looking for the same love of others, family, and an under¬ standing in life. One finally sees that the external differences don’t really make a difference in their lives, but they do help to make the people the main points of the school.

Album Division 127 To Each His Own Individuals follow unique path to the future This year’s senior class will be remembered in future years as a group of distinctive indi¬ viduals rather than as a tightly knit group. Over the four years, as a class, the group did not do anything particularly good or bad. Probably the most trouble they have had has been in getting along with each other. There weren’t just the typical gap s between the clicks, but also there were gaps inside the groups. This made it hard for them to do things to¬ gether, but they did try. Most members of the class have definite plans as to where they will go in the future. Fifty- six percent of the class is plan¬ ning to go to college. That is the largest percent in the school’s history. Others will go directly to work or to trade schools, and still others into the military. Sadly though there has been two of this class who will have no future. Lynda Stevenson and Bobby Kleinhans were both killed in accidents before they ever had a chance to reach their goals. They are re¬ membered and missed dearly. Hopefully, members of the class of 1987 will reach the goals they strive for and will at times look back to remember the years spent at the high school with fond memories.

I’m a senior!” That is one of the first thoughts a senior has on the first day of school. As he drives to school (a senior privi¬ lege) it looks as if nothing much has changed. He begins to wonder if there is something wrong with him. He still feels as if he should see the graduat¬ ed seniors from last year. In¬ stead he sees a new group of freshmen at what used-to-be se¬ niors’ lockers. He can’t remem¬ ber ever being as small as these kids. The feeling of being old¬ est in school hasn’t set in yet in these first days, but by the time the first semester ends, the feelings of anxiousness, ner¬ vousness, and eagerness start to take over. He begins to plan for spring break. It finally ar¬ rives and leaves. Then the countdown for graduation be¬ gins. This countdown makes him feel at the same time ex¬ cited and sad.

A senior may say to him¬ self, “I’m finally a senior. I can now coast through the year!” What a mistake! First comes the beginning of school . It seems harmless enough, but one remembers the deadline for cap and gown orders. This could easily be put off, but if one plans to graduate this year, it had better be taken care of. Next comes the dead¬ line for sending in one’s SAT scores, followed shortly by the deadline of deciding which col¬ lege one wishes to attend in the following year.

Seniors 139 l y asy Schedules _ 1 — Workload furnishes seniors time for relaxation When it comes time to select classes for the senior year, some students take somewhat easy classes. They have most of their credits and do not need to really take hard classes. With the pressures of balancing school, a job, athletics, and a social life, they want to escape the extra pressure of a ton of homework. They feel they have been working hard for four years and need a break. So, when the 2:30 bell rings, the thoughts of a senior are usually that it’s time to leave. He rushes to his locker to get his coat and books. Standing there tapping his fingers against his locker door, he thinks, “Now, what homework do I have?” . . . Hey, you’re a senior, remember? This is the year when you don’t have much homework. You’ve got¬ ten all your credits, and are just tying up a few loose ends with required classes.” So, he thinks “first hour — no; second — no; third — yes, but just some economics; fourth hour — no; sixth — no; seventh — yes, but I can do it in study hall tomorrow.” He has his one book in his bag, and out the door he goes. He gets home, grabs a snack, and plops down in front of the television only to find out the Jetsons are a rerun. With noth¬ ing to do, he does his little bit of economics. With that done and forgotten, he goes and lis¬ tens to some tapes. His mother comes home, and yells at him to get his homework done. He tells her he doesn’t have any; she’s heard that one before. A few weeks later, after almost a dozen of the same scenes, his mom almost has heart failure when he brings home an aver¬ age report card. She doesn’t now how he did it, but he knows it’s because of the easy senior workload. SINCE MOST SENIORS have all their credits, they can fill up their schedules with classes that are more fun.

Once a student has worked awhile, he might decide to start a savings account. If a se¬ nior wishes to further his edu¬ cation after high school, extra money may help cover the costs. Many seniors work to purchase a car of their own. In They how costly it ed to pay for their ceives is working with people. This is especially true in han¬ dling sales. Seniors learn re¬ sponsibility as well as coopera¬ tion with fellow co-workers. Depending on the kind of job, some students might learn a special skill. A job teaches stu¬ dents how to fill out tax forms and manage money. A student might be hired for a job which deals with an inter¬ est. People interested in pho¬ tography apply at a picture stu¬ dio. This gives them a chance to become more accomplished in that field. Also students with an acquired skill may use it to make money by teaching pi¬ ano, tutoring in a school sub¬ ject, or selling crafts they have made. Jobs range from working in a department store to deliver¬ ing manufacturing parts to companies. Many employers find seniors who work past time in high school better prepared for their jobs later on. Sweet Sorrow _ Seniors express regret at parting of ways “I will miss the food in the cafeteria.” Rick Sulewski “Leaving all my friends and moving away to go to college will be hard.” Chris Stefankiewicz “I have no regret about graduating. The only thing is that you have to go out on your own, and right now I don’t know what I’m getting into.” Greg Smith “I feel my biggest regret is leaving a place that I have become accus¬ tomed to, and possibly not seeing the people I’ve met at school again.” Nora DeJesus IN MR.

Seniors 147 T G.I.F. for R. and R. _ Enthusiasm soars at prospect of weekend fun When Friday rolls around, it brings an ending to the school week. It does not exempt all homework, but it does limit homework and excludes classes. Many students throughout the halls can be heard saying, “Thank God it’s Friday!” Even though Fridays are big test days, students are usually happy they can look forward to “lazy” weekends. Not working on assignments all day, not awakening at the hour at dawn, and not having to stay awake and aware in those nec¬ essary but surely fatiguing classes are the reliefs of Satur¬ days and Sundays. The same schedule can run a per son down and tire him. The weekends bring fun and leisure and provide a break from school. Another great as¬ pect of the weekend is catching up on missed sleep. Sleep seems to be one of the most important and enjoyable fac¬ tors in a student’s life. It’s bet¬ ter to sleep away the weekend than to fall asleep Monday morning in a hard-nosed histo¬ 148 Seniors ry class while watching a World War I film. On Fridays kids can look for¬ ward to spending time with their friends and family. Going to parties on weekend nights is a basic activity among seniors. Other ways to spend that pre¬ cious weekend time is attend¬ ing sporting events and egging school teams on to victory. Some people may go to dances, hang-outs, or just relax at home. Spending money on various items at the mall is an¬ other fun weekend activity. Weekends provide a perfect opportunity for a get-away. Get-aways include a weekend at a college campus or a classy trip to Chicago or even to Grandma’s house. Fridays also mean doing things when one wants, where one wants, and how one wants. For instance, one can enjoy a can of pop or a candy bar whenever he wants. School limits eating time to lunch hour. Fridays give relief not only from homework assign¬ ments and tests but also from the pressure of everyday school tasks like getting to class on time or fighting with lockers that wish to remain closed. Sometimes even find¬ ing the right books, notebooks, and folders is a chore. Another everyday task not looked forward to is finding that way to school. Whether a student rides a bus, drives, or walks it is often difficult to do. A car breaks down easily, as many seniors find out, and sometimes catching the bus on time is a problem. On Fridays people seem to have their spir¬ its lifted and seem to be worry- free. A carefree appearance usually leads int the weekends. And when the last book is placed in the locker and the coat is placed on the shoul¬ ders — a student can at last ex¬ claim, “Thank God it’s Friday!” “Thank God it’s Friday!” signi¬ fies not only the end of the STUDY HALLS PROVIDE a good source of time to do homework be¬ fore the weekend.

Trials of the times _ Seniors name most difficult school experience “The most difficult thing was to fit in with everyone else, be accepted, and feel like 1 belong.” Rachelle Goodman “The most difficult thing I had to do was miss spring vacation, because I had to stay home and run for track.” Dan Buehrle “The most difficult thing was to wake up to take an S.A.T. test!” Tammy Roland “The most difficult thing was to get up at 5:30 a.m. so I can get ready and go. Robert Massey “The most difficult thing 1 had to do in high school was to study for any kind of math test.” Joe Russo “The most difficult thing I did was get up in front of class the first day of my freshman year.” Brian Peter “The most difficult thing I had to do in high school was to wake up early five days a week, sit in a desk all day, force myself to eat lunch, and stay up all night doing my homework. Then I could come back the next day and do it all again.” Todd Longfellow BRIAN WATKINS EXAMINES his work in machine shop. “The most difficult thing was to real¬ ize that I had played my last high school football game, and it wasn’t any where near being memorable.” Ted Hein “The most difficult thing is to keep up my image. I’m a ‘trend setter.” I have to wear something that looks crazy, but also something that peo¬ ple will like. Anything from weird shoes to sport coats (plaid) so my clothes clash.” Tim Roland CASSIE CORNEJO PONDERS a test question in Mr. Bernie Kowals¬ ki’s government class.

I 150 Seniors Off to the Beaches Warm sands lure seniors on break When green leaves emerge, beautiful flowers bloom, and birds sing, a sensation of spring is in the air. Around this sea¬ son, students anxiously await the advent of spring break. Regions of the United States and of other countries attract many vacationers. First, for some, this is a perfect time to travel to the warm, sunny state of Florida. Some vacation with friends, family, or a boyfriend or girlfriend. The town or city to which the students decide to go depends on what type of vacation the person wants. For really exuberant merriment, Fort Lauderdale accumulates a great number of high school DURING HUMANITIES CLASS, Stephanie VanAsperen and Kim Kroner take accurate notes as Mr. Jerry Holcomb lectures on the lin¬ eage of King Henry VIII. DON CHESNEY AND LLOYD DESTO- TELL laugh hilariously at Tim Rowland as he performs the Pee-Wee Herman dance during a pep rally. Pep rallies give students a chance to show their school spirit. students. On the other hand, Tampa or Clear Water are re¬ laxing and soothing get aways. No matter where people choose to stay, all will eventual¬ ly hasten to the beach to get that dark, savage tan. If some¬ one wants fun and amusement, Walt Disney World excels in both. Students meet Mickey Mouse and the rest of Walt Dis¬ ney’s animal characters at the Magic Kingdom. The lines for the rides reach long lengths as the people im¬ patiently wait their chance to climb aboard. If they cannot en¬ dure this part of the amuse¬ ment because they become af¬ fected with motion sickness, then they indulge themselves with performances put on by dancers, singers, and the like. Secondly, Europe and Mexi¬ co are hot spots for the foreign language members. Generally, one or more groups from one of the departmments travel abroad through different orga¬ nizations. They mainly sight see in different regions. Thirdly, the remaining stu¬ dents accomplish miscella¬ neous activities at home. Stu¬ dents may visit relatives, or they just kick back at home and cruise around with friends. If the weather is suitable, many flock to Michigan beach. Sometimes an obstacle pre¬ vents students from traveling. A person’s job may hinder him from being able to leave. An¬ other reason for lacking the ca¬ pability is not having enough money either because the indi¬ vidual does not work, the par¬ ents don’t have the money, or he never bothered saving his earnings. Some students must remain at home for sports. Mandatory practice held dur¬ ing spring break keeps some athletes from enjoying a Flor¬ ida vacation. Most of the seniors spend spring break in a way most en¬ riching for self satisfaction. AIMEE J.

I want to get involved with extra¬ curricular activities and to go to sports games. I’m not looking for¬ ward to the studying, but I’m looking forward to being on my own.” Jan Sinkenbring “1 am willing and anxious to go be¬ cause that puts me a little closer to getting my Porsche.” Jon Schaefer JIM MUELLER DILIGENTLY AP¬ PLIES himself to his workbook as¬ signment during his accounting class. Many students take accounting if they are planning a business major in college. ERIC WATLAND CONSTRUC¬ TIVELY WORKS to create a sturdy and usable table in Mr. Tom Szymc- zak’s advanced woods class. In wood shop students learn how to construct various pieces of furniture. “I’m not anxious or frightened about going to college. My family is big, and people have been going in and out of the house for a long time. I am used to being alone.” John Naulty “I feel that college is the only way to go anymore. Without a good educa¬ tion, it is nearly impossible to suc¬ ceed, and I want a fulfilled life. I’m extremely anxious to complete my college education to start enjoying adulthood. I have great hopes for my future.” Lisa Harper “I really have a positive attitude to¬ wards college because I’m going to be moving across the country to New Mexico. Too much of Crown Point gets boring.” Robert Koening AFTER ALL THE ATTENDANCE SLIPS ARE collected, Jan Sinkenbring engages in the task of checking off names of students who are absent. Attendance aides deliver messages for Mr. Paul Geor- gas or take messages to students. Seniors 155 Schools Beckon _ Variety of options are available to graduates As graduation approaches, many seniors make choices that affect their lives. Four years of high school prepared these young men and women to pursue different goals. With counseling from teachers, ad¬ ministrators, and parents, these students paved the road to future success. Most graduates attend a col¬ lege of their choice to major in a specific field. College also of¬ fers the opportunity to meet new people through classes, clubs, sororities, and fraterni¬ ties. In addition, leaving home to attend a university gives a person a sense of freedom, re- MR. RICHARD RUCINSKI, counsel¬ or, passes out information for Pur¬ due University. Seniors listen intent¬ ly as Mr. Rucinski talks. CONCENTRATING HARD, Starla Andrews increases her speed and ac¬ curacy by practicing her typing on memos and letters. EXCITED ABOUT BEING AC¬ CEPTED TO the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, Dawn Stokes shares the news with one of her friends, Megan Voyak. sponsibility, and indepen- dance. These characteristics are vital to survival. If one chooses not to leave home right away or wishes to work part-time, university exten¬ sions and other schools are available. Others choose to attend a vocational school. Students who want to work in a particu¬ lar trade enroll in this type of program. After serving an ap¬ prenticeship in a certain area, the skilled worker next looks for full time employment. The Armed Forces are yet another career choice. Acade¬ mies throughout the country offer specialized training in cer¬ tain fields. Students also earn money which can be used for college at a later date. With high school behind them, graduates can look for¬ ward to successful careers. Marriage and children may be in the back of their minds. These freshly developed adults can now face the challenges of the New Beginning. nstant Riches _ Seniors fantasize about spending lottery money “If I won the lottery, I would first pay off all the bills (for the family) then I would start buying my family things they wanted. After that I would go on vacation to different places. I would save some of it, but the rest would be spent.” Amy Czajkowski KATHY LUSK concentrates intently on her homework assignment. “If I had a million dollars, I’d buy an offshore cigarette boat, a good water ski, and move to California. I’d put the rest of the money in a bank and live off the interest. That way no one in my family would ever have to work again.” Mike Thalgott “I would buy a car and I’d take a trip to Hawaii with my best friend. I would probably save the rest.” Michelle Pierce “I would buy a sports car, take a cruise around the world and buy clothes.” Karen Ward LUNCH BREAKS provide a time for dis¬ cussing school gossip.

Money Seniors wish for money tree to cover expenses Why can’t money grow on trees? With so many costs la¬ beled necessary, seniors often wish it did. Perhaps the major expense for every senior is the auto¬ mobile. If the student must drive an old junker, repair costs may run the owner into debt while financing the mechanic’s SOCIOLOGY CLASS offered time for many class discussions. Delwin Swope and Kurt Forney listen and add input to Mr. Bill Kimble’s class. vacations. New cars have pay¬ ments high enough to pay off the national debt. When Mom suggests that jeans be bought at Sears in¬ stead of Carsons, complaint is an understatement for the re¬ action. The thought of wearing Sears Best is terrible. On TV, Mom would give in and the happy teen would head for the mall. In real life, chances are if a senior wants brand name jeans, he’ll have to pay for them. Like everything else in the world, entertainment has its price. While the band plays on prom night, couples enjoy the atmosphere. The stunning gown and the dashing tuxedo have been planned for the per¬ fection of this one evening. All cares in the world seem far away for the couples. Perhaps IN MRS. JANET SZOT’S composl- tion and grammar class, Nora Deje¬ sus looks up definitions for her vo¬ cabulary assignment. Expanding vo¬ cabulary is one of the goals of this class. farthest from the mind is the price tag attached to this plea¬ sure. That cost of all costs lies just ahead of seniors in the guise of the college of their choice. When Mr. Rich Rucinski shows a senior a list of colleges and their costs, an immediate ques¬ tion comes to mind. Thoughts of Greek life, sports, parties, and studies temporarily vanish when the question arises: how will costs be paid if the student is accented? It seems that stu¬ dents must be asking to learn top secret government infor¬ mation for the price. The cost of a college dorm room leads a student to believe that the small room should actually be a suite in a luxury hotel. On top of all these expenses, spending money will be necessary at col¬ lege. Pizza, movies, and clothes don’t come free. With all these expenses ahead and their current ex¬ penses, it’s no wonder seniors feel they are constantly broke. Seniors 161 I nvolvement -Responsibility enriches, helps juniors mature ED MYSOGLAND AND BRAD LAMBERT intently watch the boys’ varsity basketball team beat the Highland Trojans. PROMOTING SCHOOL SPIRIT, Rob Pickering helps the band with its rendition of the classic “Louis, Louis.” Juniors have a job which is a responsibility: setting a good example to the underclassmen. Since underclassmen look up to them, it is important for these students to be involved in school activities in order to promote Crown Point High School. Underclassmen see the importance of being involved in activities, and having fun, too. These and other responsi¬ bilities, enrich juniors’ minds and help them as they grow into mature adults. Juniors also compete at the varsity level. Previous years at the frosh and junior varsity lev¬ els have strengthened athletes who now perform beyond their abilities. Hard practice pays off with the glory of success. DURING LUNCH Vicki Malone and Ellen Birchel discuss the Furuholmen Theory, which states that the amount of nutritional substances consumed is directly proportional to the rotundity of the physique. Lynda Lucas sums up her year by saying, “My junior year has been my most fun year. My friends and I have the freedom to go to more places and have a great time.” “I’m taking on more responsibilities to pre¬ pare myself for college,” adds Lori O’Lena.

Tra¬ cy Roller spikes the ball. college board exams and for applying to universities pre¬ sents itself. Students meet with Mr. Webb, junior counselor, to discuss tests and choose a col¬ lege. Students narrow down university choices. The life of the average ju¬ nior accelerates into high gear. By now most juniors have their licenses, making travel to and from games, dances, and par¬ ties easy. The social scene is more active, and juniors feel the need to break out and have fun on the weekend. Schedules are more difficult since many are taking college- bound courses. Yet, more elec¬ tives are available to upper¬ classmen since most require¬ ments were fullfilled. Priorities and good study habits lead to success.

To car ski you tie two skis to the top of a car and put them on. Once the skis are on, someone else starts driving the car.” Brad Bunch “I went to see the Rocky Horror Pic¬ ture Show with three people. I went to the front of the auditorium, which was filled with college guys, got on the stage and did the “Time Warp” with the movie. 1 was bombed by wa¬ ter, rice, toast, and hot dogs thrown from the audience.” Liz Owsley “Thespian initiation. 1 had to wear a T-shirt, diaper, and dress shoes. In these clothes, I had to walk from school to the Crown Point square, circle it two times, stop in a clothing store, and then return to school in one piece.” Scott Waldron “I went to Canada with a few of my friends for lunch.” Dina McCorkle ROBIN FAUST and Allison Scheive laugh at a joke in Mr. Richard Gor¬ don’s composition and grammar class. “My friends and I snuck out of the house in the middle of the night to go to the dunes where we stayed until morning. We finally went home, only to end up at another beach where we went swimming in the middle of Oc¬ tober.” Dawn Salczynski “A friend and I walked 18 miles from northern Merrillville to Lakes of the Four Seasons after a party with some friends. It took us from 12:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. to arrive at home.” Glenn Burgess “One of my friends and I snuck out of her house in the middle of the night. We were caught, of course!” Kellie Glancy “I rode on the hood of someone ' s car down Main Street at midnight when it was 30 degrees outside.” Yvonne Murphy Juniors 165 Jolynn Donaldson Molly Donovan Chad Dowdy Janice Driskell Mike Edwards Steve Edwards Kristin Erdei Michael Erdelen Jennifer Eskilson Stephanie Essary Robin Faust Brian Feller Laura Ferry Michelle Festa Tammy Firpo Donna Fitzsimons Amber Fleming Kathlyn Fletcher Chrissy Flores John Foyer Mirandy Frey M usic Lovers The beat goes on, and on, and on Crown Point students love music. For example, although the school banned Walkmans, they still buzzed in the hall¬ ways. Music also affected student’s dress. Bon Jovi, Bruce Spring¬ steen, Genesis, Naked Raygun and swarms of other bands’ t- shirts filled the trendy CPHS halls. Also, many students attend¬ ed after-game dances, where everyone heard his favorite song at one time or another. Girls screeched when their song came on, while guys jumped up and down yelling in excitement at the sound. But, for those who danced, nothing topped the special moments of having someone special in their arms while a slow roman¬ tic song played. All through the school day, desks became drums as stu¬ dents tapped their pencils to their favorite songs which re¬ verberated through their heads. The song heard on the way to school still echoed in the students’ minds. As the students rushed out of school at the end of the day, they got in their cars and turned on the radio, or popped in a tape. Music blared loudly all the way home. Finally arriving at the door, kids walked in the house, threw their books down and turned on the stereo. When students decided to do their SUSAN KRIETER and Kelly Wag¬ ner intently study for programming in Mr. Greg Mucha’s programming class. homework, the stereo re¬ mained on. Students found it easy to concentrate with mu¬ sic. Music played an important role in the lives of students from early morning until late at night.

We would have an early dinner at an elegant restaurant, go to a short but won¬ derful concert, dance until the early morning, and then go back to his place for the hot tub.” Lisa Gertz “Greg Smith. We would go to Hawaii.” Dina McCorkle “Dweezil Zappa. We would go to the Ba¬ hamas.” Leslie Noonan “Martin Gore, the lead singer for De- peche Mode. I would beg him to get me into the business and help me meet the right people. First he could take me out to dinner though.” Liz Owsley “Christy Brinkley. 1 would take her to a Billy Joel concert to rub it in his face.” Michael Acsbok “Morton Harket. I would like to sit down over a big glass of orange juice and some scrambled eggs and have a nice discus¬ sion about religious beliefs.” Vicki Malone MANY PEOPLE WORK BETTER IN A group. Working together gives friends an opportunity to socialize as well as combine their efforts to com¬ plete assignments. Juniors Lori O’Lena, Andy Badowski, Ami Schach, and Michelle Walter chat with each other as they work to finish assignments in the library. MOST JUNIORS HAVE AN IDEA WHOM their dream date would be with and what they would do. Not everyone can have a date with a famous person, though. The Turna¬ bout Dance gives girls a chance to ask guys who may some day be fam¬ ous out for an evening of dancing.

You slowly roll over to turn off the alarm and fall back asleep. Waking up an hour later, you realize that Monday morning is staring you in the face. Waking up at noon on Satur¬ day and Sunday without the dreadful alarm is heaven, but on Monday it is back to getting up at the crack of dawn. Most people agree that Mon¬ day is the worst day of the week. One of the first things that comes to mind when Mon¬ day is mentioned is the start of another long week of school. It seems the hallways became longer, and it takes more time THE MONDAY MOOD SETS IN FOR junior Andrea Halvorson in a tough course called chemistry as Mr. Ken Witt explains Charle’s Law of gases. This class is taken by some high school juniors looking for a chal¬ lenge. JANICE DRISKELL, BOBBI BOYD, and Mike Massa study in the library during their lunch hour to fin¬ ish some last minute studying for a test in one of their classes. to get to class. Also, staying awake in those demanding classes is a task that is hard to tackle. Every class seems to drag, leaving the students fa¬ tigued. Students and teachers alike want to be back in bed in their own rooms dreaming of everything imaginable exclud¬ ing school. Another problem after doing as you please over the weekend is getting back to the books and the homework on a daily basis. Mondays are generally the most difficult days to get back into the swing of things, but by Tuesday most people are usual¬ ly recovered from the weekend and ready to begin the school schedule. AMY KAISER AND MICHELLE SHOCKLEY, juniors, work together to do last minute work for one of their difficult classes. ON MONDAY MORNING, home¬ work generally occurs in every class¬ room.

Popular catch phrases echo through hallways What are juniors saying to¬ day? The junior class has sev¬ eral popular and favorite sayings. Often, these sayings originate from movies, songs, television shows, commercials, magazines, or even just in a conversation with friends. Some sayings never catch on, but people usually hear many of these sayings throughout the school year. “Not another homework assign¬ ment!” “Yeah, right!” “Gimme a break!” “I’m so sure!” WITH THE INCREASING NEED FOR computer know-how, Tracy Ludwig creates a program to figure out bank interest in Mr. Greg Mu¬ cha’s computer class.

Various hangouts include the Southlake Mall, the South- lake Cinema, and Stardust. Here people can either shop, watch a movie, bowl and play pool while they hangout. Restaurants are other good places to shoot the breeze while enjoying “delectable” fast food. Burger King, Sha- key’s, Pizza Hut, and McDon¬ ald’s are some of the most pop¬ ular places to get people to¬ gether. Football and basketball games, school dances, and par¬ ties are also popular activities among sophomores. Gathering a group of kids together to watch a movie on the VCR also can be fun. School dances pro¬ vides a great “hangout” —it gathers hundreds of kids to¬ gether for an evening of fun. Cruising Crown Point is an¬ other activity. People do this if there is nothing else to do or money is scarce. It beats watch¬ ing the “Love Boat” with the folks. Basically, sophomores use their free time for fun. Whether they are bowling, eating, danc¬ ing, or driving around, the sophomores are always on the lookout for fun!

The fresh¬ men who seemed so childish have evolved into mature soph¬ omores. The fears of being ea¬ ten alive by a senior have been overcome by increased confi¬ dence in themselves. They’ve tasted part of the social scene through attending sporting events, club meetings, and school dances. Now, they are learning to become involved in numerous activities offered at Crown Point High School. Al¬ though many doors have opened for sophomores, they haven’t quite reached the sta¬ tus that has been obtained by the juniors and seniors. The sophomores seem to be stuck in the middle. They are not as noticeable as the freshmen and not as prominent as the juniors and seniors. They intermingle among themselves and often go unnoticed. Observing the way in which upperclassmen present them¬ selves helps sophomores devel¬ op their own individual style in personality as well as appear- SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS ARE Alison Smith, secretary; John Burish, treasurer; Mark Fischer, vice president; and Natalie Nims, presi¬ dent. ance. They also discover the expectations they will face when they reach the last two years of high school. Many sophomores enjoy participating in sports. Wheth¬ er it be football or gymnastics, sophomore boys and girls com¬ pete at the junior varsity or varsiity level with great suc¬ cess. Schedules change for sopho¬ mores, too. Classes become more difficult, which requires added concentration from stu¬ dents. Balancing studies and extracurricular activities be¬ comes a full time job which sophomores can handle with ease.

Another irritation is when the players begin to make careless fouls. Mike Ford “It irritates me when friends plan to do something and then they back out.” Holly Brown “It irritates me when I decide to get dressed up, and the next day I wake up late. Then my hair won’t curl, and as I’m walking out the door I realize that I have a huge run in my hose and I can’t hide it.” Kitchi Trinoskey “I become irritated when friends stab each other in the back.” Stacey Boyer “It bugs me when my little brother, who is 14 years old, borrows my clothes without asking me first.” Karen Henry “The thing that irritates me the most is when a guy leads you to believe he likes you, and then he does not ask you out, or it takes a while. I think if a guy likes a girl, he should just ask her out. What does he have to lose?” Darlene Noak “What irritates me the most is when I give up or quit!” Mi Kyung Kim MR.

I could go to the game, or maybe go to the movies with some friends. The teacher’s voice calls him back to reality. “Huh, oh, um will you repeat the question, please?” This reaction is typical of a student caught in the act of daydreaming. While listening to a teacher lecture or complet¬ ing an assignment, many stu¬ dents drift off and begin day¬ dreaming. Which classes do people daydream in and why? What do they daydream about? Twenty people were asked that question. The top two classes mentioned were history and English. These classes were top-ranked not because the teachers are boring, but those classes are generally lecture classes, and it’s harder to pay LEFT. SOPHOMORE Heather Dorin drifts off to her plans for Fri¬ day night in Mr. Randy Hutchinson’s advanced algebra class. 178 Sophomores attention. Some reasons for daydreaming in classes were, “I’m too tired to listen,” and “It’s too early in the morning to listen.” When students were asked, “What do you daydream about?” many answered, “What I’m going to do after school or on the weekend,” “Guys,” or “Girls,” and, “Any¬ thing but school.” Many times people don’t even realize it’s happening. A student may be sitting in class only half listening to the teach¬ er, and all of a sudden he “spaces off” into daydreaming. UPPER RIGHT.

I thought i’d spend more time on it and turn it in tomorrow.” “I left my book with my assignment in my mom’s car, and she left for vacation and she won’t be back for a couple of days at least.” “I was doing my homework on the bus, when I turned around to ask my friend a question, it blew out the window.” “I was walking up the stairs to class when some kid knocked all of my books and papers out of my hand.

Sophomores are testers of the world. They test their new driving privileges out on the roads, terrorizing all. They also test their privileges at home, dating and staying out late. Some sophomores test out new fashions such as ripping their jeans, changing their hair, and wearing several earrings. Some sophomores become fashion designers, initiating some of the top fashions of the week. Some sophomore girls are interior decorators, sporting lockers with at least one pic¬ ture of a guy cut from a maga¬ zine. For that matter, many guys’ lockers have displays of current beauties clipped from magazines, too. Besides these, lockers also have an array of SOPHOMORES Bob Franko and Jeff Fox return the birdie like profes¬ sionals during their badminton game in Mr. Tom May’s advanced badmin¬ ton gym class.

Sophomore also pon¬ der advice such as, “Do not conform . . . unless, of course, everyone else does.” Last but not least, sopho¬ mores are socialites of the world. They practice such so¬ cial customs as contorting their bodies to loud music, filling their stomachs with combina¬ tions of food, and living it up, because they’re only young once. To be a sophomore is to be part of the elite, to be one who always holds his head up high. DEEP IN CONCENTRATION, soph¬ omore Shawn Fraley, plays her cello in Mr. James Deal’s orchestra class.

Sophomores 185 R eady, set, go! _ High school propels freshmen into activities Freshmen came across new expenses associated with high school life. The year was full of changes which were handled very well by students. The changes were not drastic, but they allowed freshmen to trans¬ form from junior high to high school students. In sports, frosh athletes com¬ peted intensely, while their peers cheered them on to victo- ry. Freshmen found high school competition to be more difficult than they were used to in junior high. Attending high school football, basketball, and baseball games was new to these freshmen. These stu¬ dents were very active as spec¬ tators and participants. Travel to these events was usually provided by moms and dads, although some may have been lucky enough to have someone from whom to mooch rides. Transportation wasn’t the only problem, however. Some students weren’t allowed to at¬ tend certain activities. The fact that they had three more years to be able to participate didn’t make it easier to accept. Fresh¬ men shouldn’t have been upset because many more opportuni¬ ties will be available for fun in the coming years. Maturing into freshmen didn’t take long for these stu¬ dents who were new to the high school. New schedules, lockers, hallways, and teachers kept them on their toes.

With a deep breath at the entrance, freshmen began the first long day of their high school years. As they made their way to their lockers, they realized how big and crowded the halls seemed. Finally, at the proper locker, nervous fingers fumbled with a new combina¬ tion. Brand new folders and no¬ tebooks with clean white pages were placed inside. Freshmen wondered if they had chosen the proper outfit. The dark blue jeans and squeaky new shoes only added to the dis¬ comfort many were already feeling. When the first bell rang, freshmen made their way to their first classes. Freshmen uttered foreign words for the first time, received new gym uniforms with bulldog logos, and opened books for their first high school classes. Lunch was perhaps the most difficult time for fresh¬ men. Entering the cafeteria, FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS ARE Chris Barman, president; Kim Sepiol, secretary; Christine Kyres, vice president; Allison Baxter, trea¬ surer; and Wendy Fletcher, vice president. freshmen found it impossible to find a familiar face. A desire to disappear arose in many as they watched other students chat with friends at tables. As they found what seemed to be the last table in the cafeteria, they discussed their first long morning and hoped they would be able to adjust. After lunch freshman battled their way through their final classes of the day. When the long day had ended, freshmen, left with a large pile of homework and memories of their first day of high school.

In some cases, the assignments are pre¬ sentations, plays, speeches, or artistic projects. Many fresh¬ men schedule a study hall to give themselves time to do homework. Freshman study habits vary widely. Some fresh¬ men enjoy doing their assign¬ ments on a comfortable couch in front of television or with the radio on. Some prefer to do their homework at school in the quiet atmosphere of the li¬ brary. Of course, others do their work at the last minute on the school bus in the morning. Homework is a must if fresh¬ men are to be ready for one of the most important challenges of the school routine — tests. Teachers find many different ways to make up a test. Favor¬ ite types of tests are multiple choice and true and false ques¬ tions. Some students aren’t as lucky and have to take a fill-in the blank test. Students pre¬ pare for tests best by doing the assignments given on the mate¬ rial. Others get together and study with friends. Tests make up a large percentage of the six-weeks grade. Some fresh¬ men feel the biggest test to pre¬ pare for is the final exam at the end of each semester. This grade plays a key part in their semester grade. The way they prepare for their tests and study their homework helps distinguish the personality of the freshman class and helps determine their academic success.

Many freshmen have their goals picked out in their first year. Some of these goals come from competing with older brothers and sisters that have gone before them. Because siblings of some fresh¬ men know what goes on in high school, they help their younger brothers and sisters get an idea of some goals. Meeting goals takes place in a variety of things, but the most common are academics and sports. By the time 1990 rolls around, many freshmen wish to have these goals met. “I would like to letter at least three times.” Steve Dovellos “I would like to finish midterm of my senior year!” Tracy Bult “My big accomplishment would be to get through high school.” Mary Crawford “I’m going to take four years of art and graduate in the top half of my class.” Chris Rogers “I would like to accomplish good grades and learn to type.” Anonymous FRESHMAN BILLY WIGMORE and Allyson Williams carefully do their assignment in Mrs. Sandra Badylak’s algebra class.

Sometimes freshmen feel that they are excluded from evening activities that older students can participate in by their curfews being so early. Lack of transportation also inhibits the freedom of many freshmen. Waiting for rides seems to be an unavoidable constraint to non-driving fresh¬ men. Sometimes the ride comes from a parent; or if they are lucky, they have an older friend with a car to take them where they need to be. Although freshmen feel a lack of freedom, their present limitations will be lifted in time. SITTING ON THE BLEACHERS near the pool, these freshmen girls talk among themselves.

When we arrived at school, he would do little things like carrying my books, waiting in the lunch line, opening doors, pushing in chairs, and dusting my path before I walk in it. After school, we’d go somewhere to eat and somewhere that night, and then the senior would drive me home. All at his expense, of course!” John Barber “1 would make him escort me to all of my classes while he carried my books. After school, I would make him drive me and my friends home and do my homework.” Wendi Dalton “I would make him take me to the beach on really nice days, buy my suntan oil, and take me out to a pri¬ vate dinner for two.

At the first men¬ tion of this word thoughts of lectures, tests, and homework race through students’ minds. Students think that teachers just want to keep them busy. However, this is far from the truth. Teachers are pleasant, understanding, and just. Now, more than ever, students real¬ ize that teachers are here to help, not hinder. Students understand that teachers have a commitment to excellence. They realize that teachers chose their profession because they feel that educa¬ tion is a rewarding challenge. The primary task of the edu¬ cator is to sharpen the wits of his students. Through daily in¬ struction, teachers inform pu¬ pils of the fundamentals of var¬ ious subjects. Yet, they help students with more than aca¬ demics. These teachers act as advis¬ ers, coaches, counselors, and, most importantly, friends. Knowing that they have a friend, a student feels comfort¬ able talking about a problem to a teacher. Teachers can offer advice without being the domi¬ neering parent or the biased peer. Their advice is usually sound since they’ve been there before. A dedicated and successful English teacher for thirty-six years, Mr. Ben Owen, will retire this year.

As the months passed, the school continued its tradition of excellence, maintaining high academic standards, tightening the attendance policy, and claiming honors, and even na¬ tional recognition in some areas. The school received a spe¬ cial first class commission from the state as the culmination of four progressive awards.

He said, “The biggest reward of being an ad¬ ministrator is being part of all that goes on at Crown Point.” Mr. Charles Bigler, superin¬ tendent of the Crown Point Community Schools, retired this year after seven years of service in the system, two as assistant superintendent and five as superintendent. During his years as superintendent, Mr. Bigler saw the expansion of curriculum in all areas, the es¬ tablishment of a system-wide computer program, the ren¬ ovation of a number of build¬ ings, and the installation of a system to insure the employ¬ ment of highly qualified per¬ sonnel. Upon retirement Mr. Bigler plans to do some finan¬ cial consulting, travel, spend time with family and friends. MR. C. ROBERT ONDA, Purdue University, M.S.; Assistant Principal.

I’m sure they had their problems, but they weren’t as bad as to-day’s.” Kris Julius “I would go back to 1 B.C. to see how Jesus lived and to experience how everyone lived back then.” Julie Wise “I would go back to 1929 so that I could make a fortune in the stock market.” Rob Petro “I would go back to the 1800’s before the Civil War and live on a plantation in the South.” Charlotte Buehler “I would go back to 1969 to observe what things were like during the year 1 was born and see what my parents were like when they were younger.” Sandy Sarnicki Ferry, Karen M. 138 Ferry, Laura R. 166 Festa, Joseph A. 54, 104, 179 Festa, Michelle M 44. 166, 168 Fetty.
