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.
