U2 sold out every show and the Reagan-Gorbachev summits headed in the right direction. For the first time in histo¬ ry, Crown Point had seven valedictorians and an a la carte lunch line. And, believe it or not, students had only one snow day. While these firsts are upbeat, other events darkened a seemingly good year. Walter Pay- ton retired from professional football.

SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, gained fame as well as wide acceptance through publicity and the guidance of their sponsor, English teacher Mrs. Diane Lange. The officers appeared on Channel 7 news dis¬ cussing peer pressure to drink. Another form of support to teens came in the form of IM¬ PACT, a group of teachers specially trained to observe and pinpoint students with a pos¬ sible substance abuse problem. Bulldog fans had good reasons to be ex¬ cited. The football team boasted a 10-1 rec¬ ord and six wrestlers qualified for the state meet. The Lady Bulldogs finished their sea son with sectional and regional titles. From the beginning, the year proved that it would be one of excitement and pain, success 1 and failure. On the national level, events such as the presidential primary elections across the country and military intervention in the Honduras kept people wondering. Lo¬ cally students continued to guess about such issues as a stricter attendance policy and an extended school year. mm BULLDOG PRIDE. Students displayed pride in every aspect of their lives from academics to sports, from their private lives to their community. SLOWLY MAKING PROGRESS, senior Steve Phemetton works on a tapestry. Each year a few students work on the project that a resident artist began. The project ' will take about six years.

Student Life Events add spice to life AT THE TURNABOUT dance, freshman Krista Gapen and senior Joel Walker have a glass of punch. Anyone not part of the local scene, would never guess what hap-j pened. Although events were in a way ordinary, they were also unique. After summer, slightly disoriented students settled into the swing of things. Keeping grade point averages up, tardies and absencei down, and setting new sports records kept students busy. Special events such as Homecoming and Turnabout offered hap py interludes to the everyday routine. With spring break and the lure of Florida beaches over, students faced the final countdown to gradu ation. After graduation, the guessing ended and what happened became just a memory. 1 i i Thinking about the weekend is the only thing that gets me through the dull routine of the week.

BULLDOG PRIDE Varsity cheerleaders Deanna Vassallo and LeAnn Thompson with Bulldog mascot Kris Julius show their spirit. The mascot was a definite crowd- pleaser at all the home games. When anyone at Crown Point thinks of homecoming, he automatically thinks of rain. The traditional rainfall set in as the parade departed from the high school, and it continued to fall throughout the evening. But, the unfavor¬ able weather conditions did not dampen the spirits of any¬ one when the Bulldogs suc¬ cessfully defeated the Mus¬ tangs 7-3 and captured the Conference championship. At the onset of the evening at approximately 6 p.m., the annual parade sponsored by the Student Council began. The Homecoming activities were officially on their way. At around 7:00 after the parade had concluded on the football field the crowd anxiously awaited to see who would be this year’s Homecoming Queen. The overwhelming ap¬ proval of the student body gave the crown to senior Shel¬ ly Garber. Karen DePaoli, Lynda Lucas, and Kelly Rob¬ inson were also queen candi¬ dates. The princesses repre¬ senting the underclasses were junior Allison Smith, sopho¬ more Wendy Fletcher, and freshman Holly Harbin. When halftime rolled around, the Royal Regiment entertained the crowd with their field show production of “Grease”. At the announce¬ ment of the float competition winners during halftime, the disappointed senior class saw the sophomores take first place in the class float compe¬ tition. The German Club re¬ ceived first in the activities float competition and the for¬ eign language car was voted the best decorated. Earlier on in the week at the powderpuff game, the sopho¬ more-junior team demolished the freshman-senior team with a score of 41-6. Junior Michelle Bonini was voted the Most Valuable Player. Sopho¬ more Allison Baxter and se¬ nior Ann Pearman also re¬ ceived recognition as out¬ standing players from both teams.

Mrs. Halfman is one of the sponsors of the Booster Club, and she donated her efforts to the dance. razy spirit Homecoming theme focuses on lighthearted fun The combination of the crisp, clear autumn evening and the spirited decorations provided a lighthearted atmo¬ sphere for the 248 couples who attended the annual home¬ coming dance. Shortly after the couples arrived, the girls took off their heels, and the guys loosened their ties. The dance floor was constantly filled with students dancing to the music of the disc jockey, TNT. Long before the dance be¬ gan, the Booster Club spent a great deal of time and effort decorating the cafeteria. The couples’ names were written on colorful paper footballs and hung on the walls. Red and GROUP DANCING Enjoying themselves during the song “Wipe Out” by the Beach Boys, a group of seniors dance together. Many students like to dance in groups rather than in couples. white balloons and streamers filled the room, and Bulldog pennants were on every table. These decorations carried out the theme of the dance, “Crazy for Football.” This theme made the dance less ro¬ mantic and more fun. When they weren’t dancing, the couples relaxed with a glass of punch or took pictures of their friends. Students spent much of their time pos¬ ing for snapshots. Junior Eric Quale said, “The homecoming dance wouldn’t be the same without girls running around taking pictures.” At nine o’clock Mrs. Nancy Halfman announced the Mr. Football candidates. The can¬ didates were Brad Lambert. Patrick Lane, Edwin Mysog- land, James Pause. Philip Wayco, and John Young. Se¬ nior student council vice- president Ricky Haber and previously crowned home¬ coming queen Shelly Garber crowned John Young Mr. Football. Shelly and John then led the traditional dance to the theme song, “Crazy for You” by Madonna. Weeks after homecoming, students still exchanged pic¬ tures and stories of unforget¬ table memories of the dance. PRINCIPAL GREETING On their way into the dance, seniors Brad Lambert. Jodi Stemler. Edwin Mysogland. and Kelly Robinson stop to talk with Mr. Steven Bazin, princi¬ pal. Mr. Bazin served as a chaperone for the annual dance. Homecoming 11 An alarm wakes a groggy student at 5:30 am. She sleep¬ ily heads for the shower to be¬ gin her morning ritual. After a quick shower, she goes to work on her hair. She applies sever¬ al mousses, gels, and spritzes, and then uses a blow dryer and curling iron to finish the style. Next, she puts on her pre¬ viously chosen outfit: acid- washed jeans, a cropped pink sweater, ankle-length leather boots, and gold hoop earrings. Then she carefully applies her make-up and heads for the door. No time for breakfast, and besides, she’s trying to lose ten pounds! At the same time, another alarm wakes another groggy student. He jumps in the shower grumbling to himself about his sore muscles from working out. After his shower he runs a comb through his hair and checks himself in the mirror. Then he puts on a pair of Levi’s and a button down shirt. After checking himself in the mirror one more time, he eats a hearty breakfast. Then he splashes some co¬ logne on his neck and heads out the door. Sixth grade students get out of bed and go to school. High school students, on the other hand, are much more con¬ cerned about their looks. They spend money on their hair, their clothes, hygiene, and fit¬ SOCIALIZING Discussing their plans for the week¬ end, junior John Burish, sophomores Paul Urbanski and Eric Birdzell, and junior Julie Gorton congregate in the newly-painted candy machine area. These students display recent fashion trends like Liz Claiborne purses, colorful print shirts, and ski jackets. ness. Many students asked, spend up to $75 per month on looking good. One reason for this may be that students feel good when they look good. “The better I look, the more confident I tend to feel, and that makes me feel better about myself,” said junior Stephanie Goerges. Junior William Stanko agrees, “If you look good, you’re noticed by your peers and teachers.” Students are also concerned with staying in shape. Many girls attend aerobics classes and Nautilus. Guys lift weights, ride bicycles, and go skiing. Some students are less con¬ cerned with staying in shape. Junior Kristin Linsley said, “I just go out and have fun on weekends!” BOOT CRAZE After a long school day, junior Cindy Farias stops to lace her ankle-length suede boots. As the weather became colder, many students bought these popular boots. ooking good Boys and girls struggle to project “right” look 12 Body Beautiful y Beautiful 13 TOUCH UP During the five-minute passing peri¬ od, senior Debbie Ruffing stops to freshen her lipstick.

Bill is a member of the swim team, and lifting weights helped him prepare for the season. GET READY Using a curling iron to fix her hair, freshman Stacy Van Horn gets ready for school. Many girls wake up hours before school begins to prepare them¬ selves for the long day. ime dilemma Zillions of activities keep students on the run “Oh no!

Thurs¬ day, let’s see... oh yeah, I’m go¬ ing out to eat with Mom, Dad, and the Scotts. Friday is the big game with Merrillville, and Saturday I want to go shopping with Tracy. What should I buy? At least Sunday I can sleep in, relax, and watch the Bears’game. There’s so many things to do! And I have to try to do all of my home¬ work, too! I need more than 24 hours in one day!” The typical student spends hours complaining about try¬ ing to schedule so many ac¬ tivities into such a short time.

A job can also occupy time. Although the money is great, it is a chore for most students to schedule work around all sorts of other commitments, as well as to spend enough time on studies. Friends keep friends hop¬ ping also. “Hey, let’s go to a movie” or “How about a bite to eat” are common phrases buddies use to entice their pals to go running around. Family get-togethers, church functions, and various other invitations keep stu¬ dents on their toes. Some¬ times these events are unex¬ pectedly thrown at students, 14 On The Run On The Run 15 SUPER SALES GIRL Folding a sweater after a sale at Rave, senior Lori O’Lena chats with a satis¬ fied customer.

Whether it is a crucial exam or a slight test of courage and will, students are under pressure. Simple frus¬ tration and worry over tests, NAME GAME Identifying minerals, freshman Jason Keilman takes a practical in Mrs. Dotty Johnson’s class. tardies, and social life com¬ bine to create the beginning of a bad day and homework only adds more headaches. Outlooks change and a once carefree smile can become a menacing growl as tension grows. On the other hand, en¬ countering a certain friend or heartthrob in the hallway lifts spirits. The day seems to drag on and no relief is in sight un¬ til that one interesting girl or boy says, “Hi” and then an op¬ timistic view comes alive. Minor problems add up to major catastrophes. Tripping on the stairs, dropping books, erasing computer programs, and taking pop quizzes fill the day. A student’s social life also changes from comfortable to awkward in a split second. Stress tests friends when ar¬ guments occur. Misunder¬ standings and impatience cause pain in a relationship. Friends might become en¬ emies for the day, and boy¬ friends and girlfriends break up. Summoning courage to ask someone for a date causes frustration and worry, al¬ though the extra effort could mean definite plans for the weekend, a compatible rela¬ tionship, and an enjoyable time. Headaches mount when the car won’t start, a job demands extra hours, or parents ground a student for abusing a privi¬ lege. But a phone call from someone special can melt away the tears and put a smile back on a student’s face. Knowing someone cares light¬ ens the pressure and turns gray skies blue. Unexpectedly meeting someone that one likes can turn the day around. The thrill of dating and socializing returns. Overall, headaches and heartthrobs influence moods as each day presents something different. KEYED UP PUT ON A HAPPY FACE With the steady rhythm of typing in A helping hand eases injuries.

As the student looks out of the win¬ dow, he sees leaves of brown, a sky of a hazy shade of gray, and patches of snow. For cures for boredom, trips to Chicago or a college campus provided entertainment. Dawn Salczynski said, “Visit¬ ing Purdue not only gave me a chance to see my boyfriend but also provided a great es¬ cape.” For the winter sports fan, activities like sledding, skiing, and ice-skating brought relief. The “couch potatoes” opted for watching hockey or bas¬ ketball to pass the hours. Oth¬ ers dragged out bright summer clothes to brighten the gray of winter.

Study halls provide time to kick back or catch up on homework. zero, teens hibernated in their own homes. Board games like Pictionary and Scruples were new crazes to beat the indoor blues. Students found ways of beating the blahs and coping with important aspects of life.

Even though each student may choose to go about the game differently, the parts a student chooses to play are essential to his high school years. The stu¬ dent’s decision to participate in sports, an active learning career, or a lackadaisical at¬ tendance record are all part of the never-ending numbers game. When a student decides to participate in a sport, he must be willing to sacrifice his free time in order to broaden his horizon in whichever sport he has chosen. This player must be willing and able to push himself to be the best possible not only for himself, but also for the teammates and fans that are backing him. He must have the drive and determina¬ tion to go out on the playing area and work hard to earn the points, while he must also have the guts and “nerves of steel” to obtain the winning point or admit a loss. Along with sports, an active learning career is part of the numbers game. Studying and doing the assigned homework is the key to winning this part of the game. Similar to sports, a good education deals with scores and the hardships one must overcome when trying to obtain the points needed. A student may choose to go about this part of the game in many different ways. He may either choose to do his as¬ signed homework nightly, or he may choose not to do it all. Whatever the student decides is his own decision. The third alternative many students partake in is cheat¬ ing. This is strictly prohibited by the teachers, but still some students insist on this even though it may result in an “F” or worse. A lackadaisical attendance record is the third part of the game. This part deals mainly with tardies, absences, and truants. The key to winning this part of the game is being punctual to every class daily and attending school regular-1 ly- Although many students find great difficulty in making it to class on time, they are allowed five late arrivals be¬ fore action is taken. Some stu¬ dents take the risk of ditching class or being tardy purposely. These students suffer the con¬ sequences of truancy, with after-school detentions, sus¬ pensions, or even expulsion depending on the number of absences and tardies accumu¬ lated. GOOD RIDDANCE A fter one of Mrs. Vance’s world histo¬ ry tests, freshmen Tom Gallo, Leslie Barnett, Terry Henderson, and Ve¬ ronica Gibson check their scores.

A select few never receive this gift. To some, it is just another part of the school routine: The rou¬ tine of preparing for school and pushing yourself through seven hours of learning. Dur¬ ing those hours, students also manage to squeeze in time talking with friends, grabbing refreshments, and getting to class on time. These things add up to the routine of high school. Balancing them helps students to keep up in the swing of things. HEY, WHAT’S UP? Between classes, sophomores Brandi McGrew and Charles Noonan take time out to chat. The five minute passing period was a great opportuni¬ ty for friends to catch up on the latest news. TIMEOUT In a deserted hallway junior Leroy Bowman and senior Marilyn Rex gather books for class. In the Swing of Things 23 m am and Joy Newsworthy advances and setbacks stir emotions The hearts of Americans everywhere experienced both sorrow and joy as they turned on their televisions every night to watch the evening news. People felt their hearts pulled in opposite directions as stories both positive and negative were brought into their homes. Investors everywhere were horrified as the stock market plunged over 500 points on Black Monday in late October, far exceeding the famed crash of 1929. Billions of dollars went with the wind as com¬ puters struggled, then failed to keep up with the record vol¬ ume of trade. Restrictions have since been integrated into the system which are de¬ signed to prevent a similar di¬ saster in the future. A slow re¬ covery marred with frequent pitfalls increased confidence in the economy. Nightmarish images of a second Vietnam flashed through the mind of the coun¬ try as tensions in the Persian Gulf sparked increased American involvement. The damaging of an American ship by an Iranian mine was the fi¬ nal straw. President Reagan responded with an assault of several offshore oil platforms; the U.S. Navy flexed its mus¬ cle by sinking three Iranian ships that tried to save the platforms believed to have been used as bases for covert terrorist activity. The whole incident seemed to stun the greatly inferior forces. The gulf returned to normal only a few days after the show of A PREMIER WELCOME During arrival ceremonies, President Reagan talks with Soviet leader Mik¬ hail Gorbachev at the White House. A three-day summit meeting in Decem¬ ber ended with the signing of a nuclear arms control agreement by the two su¬ perpower leaders. force, setting American minds at ease. In December the entire country was moved by the courage and determination of a small Texas town to help res¬ cue Baby Jessica McClure from the depths of an aban¬ doned well. After accidently falling into the well, Baby Jes¬ sica was trapped in the shaft for more than 36 hours before rescuers emerged from the shaft to cries of jubilation. Jessica survived the ordeal to become a living American hero. A small step toward peace between the superpowers was taken when Soviet Premier Gorbachev came to the United States with the purpose of having a summit with Presi¬ dent Reagan. Both nations came very close to agreeing on a treaty to abolish short range nuclear weapons. The summit in January also laid the ground work for a future sum¬ mit in the Soviet Union. Many people found them¬ selves captivated by the Sovi¬ et leader and his wife and many delusions of a cold Com¬ munist leader were forgotten as Premier Gorbachev became a darling of the American me¬ dia. From February through June, the greatest spectacle in the news media was the presi¬ dential primaries. A field of several candidates for each party was narrowed down to a one-man race for the Republi¬ can nomination and a two candidate dog fight for thej Democratic nomination. George Bush quickly pulled past all competition for the Republ icans. Michael Duka- kis found himself neck and neck with Jessie Jackson, who } had found new support since 1 ' his dismal ’84 campaign. The eyes of the nation will be on Atlanta and New Orleans, the sites of the party conventions j which will nominate the next president of the United; States. The year’s good news uplift- ! ed the hearts of the people watching it. The bad news - brought everyone back down to earth, causing everyone to ■ remember that the world is far J from perfect. 24 World News PLUNGING CRASH Stock prices shocked millions as the Dow Jones industrial average fell 508 points on October 19.

The U.S. Navy blew up an Iranian ship that was laying mines and confiscated several mines. World News 25 p antasy land Fairy tale setting lends romance to Turnabout As the couples entered the cafeteria for the annual Turn¬ about Dance, their minds probably wandered back quite a few years to the familiar childhood fairy tale, “Cinder¬ ella.” As everyone knows, in that famous Mother Goose tale, Cinderella was swept off her feet by a handsome prince at the ball. The Turnabout Dance is the one chance the girls have to choose who that handsome prince may be. The theme of the dance, “Crystal Ball,” was quite ap¬ propriate for this storybook evening. Cotton clouds hung from the ceiling of the cafete¬ ria and pink, lavender, and sil¬ ver helium balloons floated from the center of each table. Silver slippers representing Cinderella’s slipper, clouds, and stars were found around the room with couple’s names on them. Silhouetted scenes from “Cinderella” decorated the walls surrounding the dance floor. The backdrops provided by Mid-States pho¬ tographers coordinated well with the decorations. The dee jay, “Jukebox” provided the music. The cheerleaders were sponsors again as they have been in the past, but instead of the dance being held prior to the Christmas holidays, its date was moved to January 16. There were a few reasons for the change of date, but the most important one was that the students indicated that if the dance was held after Christmas break, they would have something to look for¬ ward to. Senior Kelly Robinson said, “Having the Turnabout Dance to look forward to when we returned from the holidays definitely brightened up those typical winter blahs that set in the first of January.” The date of the dance also had a large effect on the attendance. About 75 more couples at¬ tended than the previous year. Senior Charles Smith and his date junior Celenne Mar- giotta were named prince and princess of the dance. Theji were chosen by a random drawing of their ticket num¬ ber. They received Cinderella books and a monetary giffe which was presented to them by the cheerleading sponsors, Mrs. Rae Jean Zea and Mrs, Nancy Halfman. f f AFTER BEING NAMED prince and DANCING TO THE BEAT of “Old princess Celenne Margiotta and Time Rock and Roll” by Bob Segert, Charles Smith dance to the theme Kathy Fletcher and Jason Andrews song “Only in my Dreams” by REO enjoy the music provided by Jukebox.

The prom committee had decorated St. Elijah’s Hall for the 1988 prom on the evening of May 7 to fit the appropri¬ ately chosen theme song, “The Time of My Life,” from the movie, Dirty Dancing. As each couple entered the room filled with royal blue and silver balloons which created the special effect the evening needed, they were introduced to the crowd by Mr. Tom May, one of the chaperones. Student Council president LASTING MEMORIES On their way out, Douglas Barnette and his date Jodi Tuthill receive their mementos from the prom. The gifts consisted of mugs and keychains that displayed t he theme. RELAX AND ENJOY During dinner, a group of friends en¬ joy themselves and discuss their plans for after the dance and also for the next day’s activities. Edwin Mysogland welcomed the prom-goers and gave the invocation before dinner. After dinner was over, “Pawnz” began playing, and the floor was crowded within minutes. The band played all of the most popular recent songs along with some oldies like “Shout.” Around 9 p.m. the dance floor cleared, as Natalie Nims announced the 1988 prom court. The king candidates were Ed Mysogland, Jim Rad¬ ford, Jason Vukas, and Benny Wilkinson. Queen candidates were Missy Kooi, Lynda Lu¬ cas, Ann Pearman, and Jodi Stemler. As everyone anxious¬ ly awaited to see who would be crowned, Angie Popovich crowned Ed Mysogland the 1988 prom king. Ed had the honor of crowning Lynda Lu¬ cas the prom queen. After the coronation was over, the prom court began dancing to “Never Say Good¬ bye,” and everyone else joined in. The theme song of the prom was played immediately following that. Towards the end of the evening juniors LeAnne Thompson and Lisa Mueller gave the farewell to the se¬ niors. The dance concluded at 11 p.m., but the evening was not over as many couples had plans to either take a carriage ride down Michigan Avenue, a boat ride on Lake Michigan, or just enjoy a quiet dinner. Some couples even gathered for an early morning brunch. The next day was another adventure in itself as couples spent the day at Great Amer¬ ica, Turkey Run, The Cubs’ game, or sightseeing in Chica| go- I When the weekend was over, many couples were ex- ' hausted but their memories and pictures would remind them of “the time of their life.” AIRBORNE Arriving adventurously, Benny Wil-j kinson, Jim Bush, and Alison Baxter step out of the helicopter which transl ported them to the prom. 28 Prom HIGH EXPECTATIONS With eager anticipation, of the even¬ ing yet to come, Jean Hagberg and her date Ken Lamprecht arrive at the dance. With all the preparation com¬ plete, couples came prepared to have a memorable night. CROWNING GLORY The prom court.

T?i M Seven va uture-bound Seven valedictorians give commencement speeches L As the band began warming up and the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” filled the air, nervously excited students formed a winding line from the entrance of the gym to the auditorium doors.

Following the procession, salutatorian Jo¬ hanna Scherschel led the Pledge of Allegiance and gave the invocation. Senior class president Stella Agnos gave the class welcome. After serv¬ ing four years as president of the class, Stella delivered a message that was a personal¬ ized remembrance of the changes that took place over the high school years. Msgr. Don C. Grass from St. Mary’s Church addressed the class in the baccalaureate message. Since seven students qualified for the honor of valedictorian, the class decided not to have a guest speaker, but rather, to allow all seven valedictorians to present speeches. Following the performance of “Parting Blessing” by the senior members of the choirs, diploma covers were present¬ ed to the students by members of the school board. After Dr. Charles Skurka, superinten¬ dent, officially graduated the members, Johanna Scherschel addressed the class for the fi¬ nal time as a group with the benediction. In honor of meeting higher standards set forth by the state, twenty-three students received the first academic honor diplomas issued by the school. When the ceremony was complete, four years of high school efforts had come to an end. Memories of championship games, seemingly impossible finals, and lasting friendships were pressed into the pages of time as history had been made and the future awaited the arri¬ val of the new graduates. Graduation 31 |pj Academics . . ' •H I Classes require adjustment As the school year began, students guessed what might happen as they struggled to return to the routine of school. Bodies groaned as they awoke with the early morning light. Requirements filled hours of class time. Notes filled the clean pages of new notebooks and sharpened pencils wore dull as students listened to lectures in history, English, and science. To break up the monotony of courses chosen by a far-away law¬ maker, students took electives in their areas of personal interest. with careful calculation, senior From requirem ents to electives, students continued to make suc- counting assignment. cess happen as they achieved levels they never guessed were possible.

DAVID ROSENBAUM’S fourth year Ger¬ man class, Ellen Birchel, Robin Faust, and Jessica Jacob construct a model of the Cologne Cathedral. This model of the second largest cathedral in the world took seven weeks to build. As the freshmen arrived at school, they wondered what learning the ropes at the high school would be like. Climbing up the stairs and slowly walking through the main doors, the freshmen sol¬ emnly entered the school un¬ sure of what to expect. Many questions ran through their minds as they entered the school. Would their classes be too hard? Most importantly, would they get so lost they’d never find their classes? They didn’t get lost, and they made it to their classes. They started learning new and exciting things. They got new names in foreign language classes, made English speech¬ es, did math projects, and they learned about other countries in World History. They did labs in science classes, and in gym they participated in new sports like badminton and swimming. With their few open hours, some took beginning art and music courses, while others opted for home ec or shop courses. Some took a different direction and took intro to business. The homework started to pile up, and many of the fresh¬ men turned to a study hall to get it done, so they would have more time for other activities after school. As the year came to an end, the students realized that high school wasn’t that bad and learning the ropes had been kind of fun. COMPLETING HIS WORK, fresh¬ man James Sanders looks in his book for the answer to the problem. Many freshmen turned to a study hall to complete their homework. , WORKING AS A TEAM, freshmen Katherine Cooper and Wendy Washko perform a lab about identify¬ ing minerals.

AAAH, relief! Suddenly, it all comes rushing back. Does this little scenario sound familiar? It happens of¬ ten to students in college prep math and science. Studying for hours rarely seems to calm students’ fears on the day of the big test. Students’ qualms about tests, however, are often unnecessary. Students usually do well on the tests once they MR. DAVID SCHOON points out a diagram of a vector to junior Gwen Sproat. Understanding the relation¬ ships is difficult. relax. Why? Why would students choose to take mind-boggling courses where they need to sweat it out in order to pass? Senior counselor Mr. Wal¬ lace Webb said, “Students of¬ ten take these classes for col¬ lege. However, some students I know take advanced math or science simply because they like it.” Because most students are taking these courses for col¬ lege, they want to get good grades. Some students are sat¬ isfied with C’s or D’s, but oth¬ ers strive for A’s and B’s either to maintain their G.P.A.’s or to satisfy themselves. Senior Marilyn Verde com¬ ments, “I took advanced biol- STUDENTS RECEIVE MINI¬ POINTS when they do problems on the board in Mr. David Schoon’s physics classes. Junior Derek Mein- hard studies the work of his fellow students. ogy because I needed another year of science, and I like biol¬ ogy. Besides, I needed an im¬ pressive class for my tran¬ scripts while keeping my G.P.A. stable.” To achieve higher grades, students spend countless upon countless hours on homework. “With physics and calculus I have a lot of homework. Each night I spend approxi¬ mately four hours doing homework,” senior Jennifer Malinich said. In addition to having a full day of classes, many of these students have after-school jobs. Senior Tracy Wornhoff said, “Each night I should spend about three hours on homework, but I usually don’t ' get it all done because of my job.” But students don’t have to j work through these classes themselves; help is available. Teachers are willing to help students with questions be¬ fore school, during class, or after school. Banging their ' heads against the wall isn’t f necessary. Simply asking the teacher for help is the remedy. New textbooks in math and science made these classes a little more bearable. Whether taking one math or science class or two or three, students work hard striving to get good grades and pushing their limits. 36 Pushing the Limits LAB PARTNERS David Marijanich, senior, and Phillip Anderson, junior, wet filter paper to separate a liquid from a solid.

IN HIS SIXTH HOUR CHEMIS¬ TRY CLASS, Mr. Robert Conard takes time to explain part of a lab to senior Mark Andrews. Lab grades weigh heavily on six weeks’ grades so students must make sure they under¬ stand lab directions thoroughly. Pushing the Limits 37 Future jobs require able workers ractical skill The hum of machines. The whir of a saw. The whoosh of a welder’s flame. All the sounds people make at work. Many jobs in our world require skilled workers adept in the use of certain tools. A look, for example, at all of the efforts that must go into raising a skyscraper is over¬ whelming. First, someone must sit down and design the perfect plan. What will hold this building together? Some¬ one has to lay the foundation. Someone has to raise the beams. Someone has to pour the walls. Someone must in¬ stall the wiring and the plumbing. One miscalculation and the lives of many people could be in danger. Where do we find the people with the skills to fill all of these positions? For many, the interest began in high school. An auto shop class taken so that a student could do more than just tinker with the car in the garage could have grown into an interest in auto me¬ chanics or car manufacturing as a career. An interest gained in an industrial arts course can be developed into skills that provide a lifetime of em¬ ployment. In these courses, students can open themselves to areas that they may have never ex¬ plored before. Skills can be discovered that one never even knew existed. Whether these skills are used as prep¬ aration for a future job or as a pleasant break in a long day, they show students new areas to explore and new skills to de¬ velop.

The students had class¬ time for most of their work, leaving little to do at home. ANALYZING A COMPUTER FILE, senior Ed Brown and junior Jennifer Endris discuss how to use the data base. Mrs. Christine Jeftich had her computer application class work dif¬ ferent types of programs. 40 In Technical Terms Technology hones business skills tting edge As Sally Student walked down the hallway, she stopped to hear a teacher going over technical terms in his busi¬ ness class. All students had choices of different business classes to take. For freshmen and sophomores, intro to busi¬ ness taught them basic busi¬ ness knowledge. Juniors could take accounting and the se¬ niors could choose from either business law or business man¬ agement. Sally walked further down the hallway and heard a strange “Tap tap tappity tap” sound coming from two rooms. One of the rooms con¬ tained the keyboarding classes. The other room con¬ tained computer classes which studied topics such as input, word-processing, and graph¬ ics. “I took keyboarding not only for typing papers now in high school, but also for later in college,” said sophomore Elli Edwards. Sally walked on and came to DRAWING FOR AN ASSIGN¬ MENT, senior David Marijanich de¬ signs a floor plan in his advanced ar¬ chitectural drawing class. Many stu¬ dents took Mr. Joseph Heuer’s class as a step toward being an architect. WORKING DILIGENTLY, juniors Linda Miracle, Melissa Johnson, and Tracy Willmore type papers for Mrs. Anne Sikora’s keyboarding III class. Students took this class to learn more than basic typing. two more rooms from where she could hear teachers talk¬ ing as students wrote busily. One room contained short¬ hand students who were work¬ ing on dictation. The other room had accounting students working on financial state¬ ments. Sally finally realized she had better get to class. She walked down the industrial arts hallway and opened a door. Inside was the technical and architectural drawing room. In technical drawing, students learn freehand and mechanical drawing skills. In architectural drawing, most of the drawing relates to the con¬ struction of houses. As Sally sat down to work, she realized all that the school had to offer in sharpening the students technical know-how. IN HIS THIRD HOUR TYPING CLASS, sophomore Jason Coburn types a composition for Mrs. Carol Schrieber. This semester typing class taught students the general skills of the typewriter.

Senior Ron j Weber and Chrissy Flores quickly compare notes for English literature class. 42 Exploring the Arts M Arts cultivate gamut of emotions joy forever A symphony by Beethoven, a painting by Picasso, and a book by Dante all have the power to take you on a roller coaster ride into the world of imagination and emotions. They are also part of the world of culture that a student ex¬ periences in music, art, and literature classes. Culture is not just a part of the “lifestyles of the rich and famous”; it is A CAPPELLA STUDENTS PRAC¬ TICE songs they will sing at the First Methodist Church. Students must leam many songs for concerts. also a part of everyone’s edu¬ cation which broadens his view of people, attitudes, and life. Going to an orchestra con¬ cert can give your mind a workout. Listening to the ge¬ nius of the music, you can feel a gamut of emotions, from ex¬ treme highs to extreme lows. Strolling through an art museum, as humanities stu¬ dents do on field trips, can pacify or agitate the most neu¬ tral mind. TranqvT scenery in pastel colors can soothe emo¬ tions and the mind. But strik¬ ing shapes in loud, vibrant col¬ ors can catch your attention even if you are bored. Reading a book by great writers, as students do in lit¬ erature classes, will take you on a trip, as in Dante’s Infer¬ no. The journey transports you through a time warp to the gates of hell and begins your journey through the depths of misery. Culture is an important part of everyone’s education. Studying the works of gen¬ iuses in music, art, and litera¬ ture not only gives the ideas of the masters, but also the val¬ ues of the people of that time period. Mr. Richard Gordon, world literature teacher, said. “Reading classical literature is important because it explains the attitudes of a particular time period.” But being knowledgeable about music, art, and litera¬ ture doesn’t come naturally; studying is imperative. Mr. James Haney, a cappella in¬ structor, said, “Students in a cappella are very serious, hard-working people. They al¬ ways try to do their musical bests.” By taking a class in any of the arts, students learn to un¬ derstand and appreciate books, paintings, and sym¬ phonies. These appreciations of understanding will be with them the rest of their lives. PAINTING A PICTURE in black and gray is challenging. Senior Stella Agnos receives assistance from Mrs. Donna Pancini.

Courses teach values of cultures nknown worlds Once upon a time in a far away land, kings led their countries to glory, knights rode powerful steeds to battle, and explorers sailed wooden ships to unknown worlds. With fascination people look to the past. In it they see the amazing power of the human spirit, the grave mistakes of other civilizations, and the great possibilities of future generations. Since the dawn of early man, civilization has pro¬ gressed at an amazing rate. Curiosity boggles the mind at the thought that a family that lived in a cave could be very distant ancestors. Complex civilizations arose and grew into powerful empires. Sol¬ diers conquered lands in excit¬ ing battles. Scholars expanded human knowledge to amazing new heights. The “white” man explored the New World to find a wide spectrum of Indian cultures from primitive to ad¬ vanced. How did the Founding Fathers predict the necessary powers of a government made to last for hundreds of years? In the wars the people of the world experienced not only victories and defeats, but also the pain of a world torn apart and the grief of personal loss. Peace talks brought success and setbacks. Olympic games unified nations as they sought the honor of the gold. Who were the people who made our world what it is? From the poorest immigrant to the most powerful ruler, every person plays a role in the making of history. America is known as the melting pot of the world. A look around shows signs of the many cultures represented here. But what is really out in the world? Do people in Italy really always eat pasta? Is Germany all beer? Are all Mexicans taco-eating Indi¬ ans? Is France really the land of romance? Everyone has heard of the blending of cultures that has taken place in his own family. The questions “What nation¬ ality are you?” brings a variety of responses. A simple “American” usually will not suffice because, in reality, what is an American but a combination of the people of the world. From the limits of Crown Point, it is difficult to imagine the remote parts of the world. Graphic stories in news magazines tell us a small part of the life in other lands, usually focusing on the prob¬ lems. Perhaps the best avail¬ able method of discovering the different aspects of foreign culture is to attempt to speak the language. Through a for¬ eign language, students learn to recognize the influences of the world on America while identifying the characteristics of foreign cultures. In the world four years con¬ stitutes a period of time dur¬ ing which history is made. Memories of pain, joy, suffer¬ ing, and success will be record¬ ed for future generations. High school students live the history of the past. They learn to appreciate the uniquen ess of America and to recognize the many contributions of the world.

Restless in their seats, students wait impatiently for the last bell of the day to ring. The 2:30 bell rings and students fill the hallways. By 3:00 students will have rushed to their bus, car, or home, leaving the school halls quiet and the classrooms empty. Yet, somewhere behind closed doors, rooms are lighted and filled with students and their sponsors. Whether it is in the auditorium, music room, publications’ room, or classroom, clubs gather to plan activities. Though the hallways may seem empty, passing by the right room, one might overhear a rehearsal or meeting. Walking down the hallways after school, no one could guess the activities that happened.

Sophomore Becky Bikoff shared similar reasons for running. “I ran not only to have fun with my friends, but to help make decisions on is¬ sues that affect the students.” The council started the year by passing out schedules and student identification cards. The council also worked at the freshman orientation, open house, Classics, and the new elections for next year. As Homecoming ap¬ proached, the Student Coun¬ cil organized the Homecoming Parade. Each class put togeth¬ er a float to enter into the pa¬ rade. The sophomore class float was victorious. Another contest during football season was the bonfire contest. This time the seniors came out on top. Members also gathered to¬ gether to attend the presenta¬ tion for the Freedom Shrine. The officers of the Student Council and officers of all of the classes met with the head of the cafeteria to discuss stu¬ dents’ opinions. A new line, the a la carte, was added to give the students a different selection of food. As Christmas time rolled around, the council decorated the cafeteria with Christmas spirit. On the Friday before vacation, the council held a Christmas breakfast for the teachers. In the afternoon members continued with the Christmas cheer. Dressed as Santa Claus and his helpers, members passed out candy to the student body. Meetings were held throughout the year to discuss issues of donating money to various clubs, upcoming elec¬ tions for council members and officers, and school problems such as the schedule for finals. Student Council members were important this year not only as class representatives, but also as students who would help out organizations by donating money to them. The council members helped make important decisions and displayed enthusiasm in their roles of leadership. ENJOYING THE FOOD Mrs. Joan j Bugenhagen and Mr. Robert Horner 1 talk casually about the breakfast.

Dances involved students and kept their spirit alive. The tradition of the Bulldog mascot changed and the Bull¬ dog had a “girl friend.” The Lady Bulldogs had their own mascot which helped fans contribute to the cheerblocks during the games. Spirit ribbons, buttons, and signs promoted enthusiasm for sports events. The club started a week earlier than usual to give all sports the proper support and recogni¬ tion. PROMOTING THE S.A.D.D.

S.A.D.D., Students Against Driving Drunk, worked to alert and inform students and the community of the danger of drinking and driving. Mem¬ bers signed and practiced a “Contract for Life” between parent and teenager which states that either parent or child will contact the other in a case of a drinking related emergency. Members received membership cards. Speakers, movies, media, presentations, posters, and advertisements offered more information. S.A.D.D. held a number of fundraisers including selling candy, T-shirts, and key- chains which promoted awareness.

SADD 51 Ipful Career-related programs prime students for future jobs COE (Cooperative Office Education) and OEA (Office Education Association) both had a fulfilling year for fund¬ raisers and competitions. COE was offered through the business department to students who wanted a career in business. This program provided students the oppor¬ tunity to apply what they have learned in school in an actual on-the-job training situation in manufacturing, profession¬ al and service establishments. OEA is a voluntary associ¬ ation of state youth groups supporting office occupations. It was designed to develop leadership ability and compe¬ tency in office occupations. The two groups sold M M’s, Snickers, and used other fundraisers to cover the cost of various competitions and other special activities. Held in January, the Dis¬ trict Competitions had many winners from these two groups. Michelle Murphy, Wendy Kooistra, Andy Ba- dowski, Apryl Matusak, Linda Miracle, Stanna Tschetter, and Shelli Hall were all win¬ ners, ranging from fifth to tenth places against hundreds of competitors.

The year for HERO (Home Economics Related Occupa¬ tions) and FHA (Future Homemakers of America) in¬ cluded many new experiences. HERO FHA are coopera¬ tive work experience pro¬ grams with school, employer, and students. HERO FHA of¬ fered students an opportunity to have a first or second job experience in the real work¬ place. It helped the students establish good work habits and learn job-related skills. Students applied through the Home Economics Depart¬ ment and Guidance Depart¬ ment to join these organiza¬ tions. The applicants had to fill out an application and pre¬ pare for an interview. They were year courses which offered credits and grades. Attendance was man¬ datory. Some of the HERO FHA activities were a Halloween party for the Special Educa¬ tion Co-op, a food and clothes drive during Thanksgiving, a Christmas sock hop, an Em¬ ployee Employer banquet, Vocational Education Week, and State Proficiency Events. Stacy Olsen said, “I have learned about Social Security, taxes, managing a budget, but most of all, I have learned re¬ sponsibility.” Jennifer Stutler said, “I have gained a good job, many friends, leadership skills, and the courage to stand in front of a large group of people and give a speech.” OEA MEMBERS.

HERO, FHA 53 WORKING DILIGENTLY junior Garry Jewett cuts out articles about Latin for the publicity committee. Newspaper articles added points to help them win the National Publicity Contest. TRYING TO WIN, junior Michael Koscho stuffs as many crackers as he can into his mouth while participat¬ ing in the “cracker-eating” contest during Foreign Language Week. nriched Latin lives by reviving classical culture “We the members of the Ju¬ nior Classical League, cov¬ enant to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world ...” starts the Junior Classical League creed. Latin Club, among many oth¬ ers nation-wide, belongs to JCL. Latin Club members en¬ joyed a year full of meetings, conventions, and contests. Latin Club was active even before the school year began. Nine students from Crown Point attended the National Convention at Stetson Uni¬ versity in Deland, Florida. The students participated in different athletic, academic, and artistic contests, and brought back many awards. Senior Ann Pearman, who was appointed to the National Editor’s Office, shared her thoughts about the conven¬ tion. “Attending National Convention was one of the best parts of my high school years. The best part about the convention was all of the close friends I made,” said Ann. The fall semester began with many meetings to get the club organized. The executive board, which consisted of the officers, three social chairper¬ sons elected from each class, and all the students who at¬ tended National Convention, organized themselves first. The executive board made all of the major decisions con¬ cerning the club. Sophomore Karin Gilles felt that the ex¬ ecutive board was valuable, “We got things accomplished much quicker and it was a lot easier to agree on decisions,” she said. The publicity committee also organized themselves. The goal was to make it into the top ten of the National Publicity Contest. “Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me four years,” read the sign which invited participation in Latin. The committee was re¬ sponsible for the posters, mar¬ quees, bookmarks, and place- mats all around the city. Later in the fall, students attended President’s Day in Brownsburg, Indiana. Seven CPHS students gave an infor¬ mative workshop about Ro¬ man banquets. As Christmas rolled around, Latin club held its traditional Saturnalia banquet. The first year students, acting as slaves, served the eight-course meal to all of the older students. The week immediately follow¬ ing was declared Crown Point Latin Week by Mayor James Forsythe and was greeted by a huge variety of posters, signs, and a billboard. January 24-30 was Indiana Latin Week. Signs were also put up for that occasion. On February 6 the certamen team of Stephanie Goerges, Julie Jones, Susan Kurowski, and Jenny Masoodi won a tro¬ phy for a first place finish. As springtime came, many of the students attended the State Convention at Indiana University. All of the students entered a project int o a con¬ test and took an academic test. The students also had time to meet different chap¬ ters’ delegates from all over Indiana. Through the Latin Club, students made many new friends from all over, partici¬ pated in many kinds of con¬ tests, won many awards, and learned to appreciate the cul¬ ture of ancient Rome. And so the creed ends, “ ... We affirm that the JCL expe¬ rience develops responsibility, fosters brotherhood, promotes enthusiasm, encourages com¬ petition, inspires dedication, and enriches our total growth.” ORGANIZING PAPERS from throughout the year, junior Stephanie Goerges gathers pictures and articles for the Latin Club’s scrapbook which records the club’s activities and achievements. 54 Latin Club THIRD YEAR LATIN CLUB.

They meet once a month to discuss the various traditions and activities in which they will be participat¬ ing. The members not only learn French praxis and tradi¬ tions, but they get a chance to taste French cuisine. To start the year off, instead of making a float, the mem¬ bers made a banner for the Homecoming Parade. In Oc¬ tober, the students had a fon¬ due party. Cheese, pizza, chocolate, and carmel ap¬ pealed to everyone. The fon¬ due party proved to be an un¬ usual, but enjoyable activity. Later in the year, the French students went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. After their visit they went to a French restaurant, La Creperie, where they en¬ joyed delicious French cui¬ sine. Finally, at the end of the year, the club held a banquet at Bon Appetit, where they also enjoyed French cuisine and learned a few traditional songs and dances. Similar activities kept the German Club busy also. Meet¬ ings, banquets, and conven¬ tions called for extra time after school. The hard work paid off with a first place for the club’s decorative Home¬ coming float. The members kept the club active through¬ out the year. October Fest in Michigan City lured some members to the fun and com¬ petition. Various categories tested the participants. Other competitions tested grammar, reading comprehension, cul¬ ture, and fluency in the lan¬ guage. A convention at Ball State University quizzed the members in various categor¬ ies. Field trips helped members learn more about German out¬ side of the class room. In De¬ cember the students sold Christmas ornaments for a field trip to Chicago to see German performers. Another field trip to Great America has become so popular that it is an annual tradition. Foreign language clubs en¬ rich students with new cul¬ tures, language, and tradition. A student can challenge him¬ self with different worlds and lifestyles.

A “Wel¬ come to the U.S.A.” night, which featured foreign ex¬ change students was also held. Foreign Language Week, held in late February, included many activities.

Seniors Elizabeth Nerney, Ellen Birchel, and Arthur Gross spoke about their exper¬ iences as foreign exchange students. Other foreign ex¬ change students from Crown Point and other local schools visited classes to describe life in their home countries and their reactions to life in Amer¬ ica. Freshmen especially en¬ joyed and learned a lot from the foreign exchange students since it was probably the first time that any of them heard them speak. Freshman Kerry Replin said, “I learned what kids in other countries know at our age.” The International Dinner took place Thursday evening in the school cafeteria with a great variety of different foods from different restaurants. Foreign Language Week con¬ cluded on Friday with a Quiz Bowl featuring selected teams competing against each other. Many students enjoyed the activities of Foreign Language Week. Junior Tracy Kissel said, “I liked talking with different foreign students and learning about their countries.” In the spring, the club vis¬ ited Don Quijote Restaurant in Valparaiso to sample some Spanish cuisine. 58 Spanish Club CONCENTRATING ON PLAYING DURING THE DIA DE LOS BOZO BUCKETS, junior Jackie MUERTOS meeting, juniors Ann Mays attempts to throw the ball into Cain and Michelle Bonini enjoy their the second bucket. tacos and chips.

Think¬ ing they were in trouble, some became nervous when their teachers handed them the piece of paper. After reading their letters, the students real¬ ized that they had nothing to be uneasy about. The letter in¬ formed them that they had been chosen to be a Junior Ro- tarian Rotarienne or a Junior Kiwanian Kiwanienne. The students had been se¬ lected for their involvement and achievement in an extra¬ curricular activity. Some of the activities represented were music, drama, sports, and Stu¬ dent Council. Meetings took place in a re¬ laxed atmosphere reassuring the honored students when it was time for them to discuss PLANNING A FUND RAISER, Kathlyn Fletcher, NHS president, and Mr. David Schoon, sponsor, wait for suggestions from the members. their activity with the mem¬ bers. In the month of January, the first woman member was inducted into the Kiwan- ians Kiwaniennes. “I was happy to see them re¬ ceive her warmly and that they did not limit their mem¬ bership to just men,” said Sarah Demmon. During the month of Febru¬ ary, many juniors rushed to an interview to participate in Boys’ and Girls’ State. These representatives of the school would also be chosen on the basis of grades and activities. As in the past, the Ameri¬ can Legion Auxiliary spon¬ sored the special event. Held at Indiana State University during the summer, the as¬ sembly of approximately 1600 students set up a mock gov¬ ernment. In the mock govern¬ ment, the students ran for of¬ fice and held elections. Stu¬ dents with a career goal in government benefited greatly from Boys’ and Girls’ State. “I learned a lot about how our government officials are elected and made several friends in the process,” com¬ mented Stephanie Essary. Consisting of 21 members, the National Honor Society met every first Monday of the month and business was con¬ ducted informally. Lynda Lucas said, “I liked having the privilege of being a part of a very honored and re¬ spected group in the high school.” Some of the NHS’s activi¬ ties were a Christmas food drive, Christmas caroling at the Lutheran Retirement Home, a Co-op Dance for spe¬ cial students, and bingo at St. Anthony’s Retirement Home. Ann Pearman said “I liked the service projects that we did. It was nice to be able to help people.” TALKING WITH ANOTHER mem¬ ber of the National Honor Society, se¬ nior Yvonne Murphy makes plans for bingo with the elderly people.

During fourth hour a staffer of the yearbook emerges with a yel¬ low pass in hand as the publi¬ cation’s door opens. A sudden burst of noise and movement exposes a room filled with 42 staff members. Yearbook business deals with interviewing a sponsor or coach, mailing subscriptions, depositing money for ads, or taking photographs. The door opens again and another glimpse reveals layouts, crop¬ pers, and pictures crowded on small school desks. This time students rush quietly around the room hoping to complete their work. New staffers learn to design two-page layouts, crop pictures, and expand their writing ability while keeping out of each other’s REVIEWING NEGATIVES to avoid dust and scratches, junior Deanne Hardin and senior Chuck Cohen de¬ cide which pictures to print. way. Work calls for alphabe¬ tizing names, checking and re- checking names on the roster, calling local businesses, and sort ing pictures. All of this takes place in the main class¬ room and four backrooms pro¬ viding space for a dark room for developing pictures, two small rooms for computers, supplies, and schedules, and a business room for advertising. Preparations also began over the summer when four editors attended a Ball State Journalism Workshop for one week. The editors and Miss Eleanore Britton, sponsor, worked to inspire their staff. Jobs divided into sections: Student Life, Organizations, Sports, Album, and Business. Other demanding positions included word processing and photography. While lectures and assignments prepared the staff for writing copy and cut¬ lines, cameras captured can- dids, and the computers re¬ corded quotes. With headlines branding fi¬ nalized layouts and the index completed, editors wrapped up the work. Until the day the yearbooks were distributed at an annual signing party, the editors could only guess what the printed yearbook would look like. When the news “The yearbooks are here” pulses through the school, breathless anticipation and dread haunt the editors again. With the first box pried open, cover exposed, and the first page turned, worries dissolve and new jobs begin as students line up to pick up yearbooks. Another year begins with a yearbook surviving anything that happens. CHECKING THROUGH THE AD¬ VERTISEMENT files, business staff manager, Yvonne Murphy looks for overdue bills and copies of ads. AS JUNIOR ANGELA WILSON ENTERS names in the computer in¬ dex, senior Jane Wirtz rechecks the entries. DECIDING WHICH PICTURES TO USE, section editors Marilyn Verde, Heather Much, Allison Schieve, and Leslie Noonan confer with Emily Willett, editor-in-chief. The editors worked long hours and planned extensively. Excalibur 63 evoted deadlines challenge small staff Although Inklings meets as a regular class during the day, it is far from a routine class. Without a moment to spare, students spent a great deal of time writing, researching, and re-writing stories. Activity be¬ gan after reporters received their assignments from the four editorial board members. Each had to check two pages of the eight-page paper. Reporters began word pro¬ cessing, proofreading, and preparing copy for the print¬ ers. At the same time, the business staff called busi¬ nesses and sold ads. Photogra¬ phers were also busy snapping pictures. Unexpected problems had a way of cropping up and com¬ plicating jobs. For example, the photographers would have to retake pictures in time for deadlines if chemicals had ruined pictures. Other prob¬ lems could not delay two dead¬ lines that each issue had after stories were completed. The first preliminary layout dead¬ line required page editors to meet after school to fit copy, design pages, crop pictures, write headlines and cutlines. When all of the copy returned from the printer, the staff faced its second deadline. For the second deadline, page edi¬ tors completed the paste-up of all hard copy. When this dead¬ line was complete, the editors sent the completed paste-up to the Calumet Press for printing. Although the staff was rath¬ er small and inexperienced, they were very eager to work and quickly learned the steps involved in producing a paper. The sponsor Miss Eleanore Britton said, “The greatest re¬ ward for the staff is to see their classmates engrossed in read¬ ing the paper.” WHEN TYPING CUTLINES and copy, no mistakes can be made, so Mike Mattel watches as Shelley Bap- ple works on the word processor.

Seven seniors be¬ came co-valedictorian of the class of 1988. At commence¬ ment, the valedictorians gave speeches on topics which were important to them personally. Ann Pearman, one of the valedictorians said, “It took a lot of hard work to get here, but it was well worth it.” Ann will attend Stanford Universi¬ ty next year. The valedictorians not only maintained a 4.0 status, but they also were involved in many extracurricural activi¬ ties. Salutatorian Johanna Scherschel was also an out¬ standing student. She held a valedictorian status until the start of her senior year. Joey also was involved in many events outside of school. The local chapter of Quill and Scroll, an international journalistic organization, rec¬ ognized outstanding students at an awards ceremony on April 28.

FEELING A BIT WARY, senior Ro- chelle Goodwin tries to get a hold of a prairie bull snake with the help of Mr. Charles Bowman. The group traveled to Pur¬ due University in Lafayette to observe the cadavers and labo¬ ratories. At Notre Dame they also saw an electron micro¬ scope, a mosquito vector lab, and rats living in a sterile en¬ vironment. In November, a Thanksgiv¬ ing dinner prepared by Mr. Bowman was an annual an¬ ticipated event for which the students provided the money and dessert. The Art Club, sponsored by Miss Judy Hames and Mrs. Diane Sykes, is open to any student interested in art. Members make suggestions for projects. One of the projects mem¬ bers participated in was marb- lizing. Members were also the first to use the Art Depart¬ ment’s new air brush equip¬ ment. The Art Institute in Chica¬ go provided an opportunity for students to show their portfolios to college represen¬ tatives on Portfolio Day. The School of the Art Institute gave the students tours and presented inspiring fields for talented students. Members were also encour¬ aged to enter contests such as the Northwest Indiana Arts Association High School Art Show in the spring and the high school art show in May. Math Club, sponsored by Mrs. Nancy May, also consid¬ ers ability and talent for mem¬ bership. Math Club members qualify by their grades, and their math teachers recom¬ mend them. Students who en¬ joy puzzles and logical think¬ ing usually become members. Once a month, members took a five-question test. The top five scores were sent to In¬ dianapolis and compared with students’ scores throughout the entire state. Members usu¬ ally performed well and were competitive. STUDENTS enjoy being able to make crafts themselves. Juniors Dale Daniels and Rob Rees work intently to create their own baskets.

Math, Art Clubs 71 ramatic Lively arts provide for creative expression Before the beginning of the year, two separate clubs exist¬ ed: Drama Club and Thespi¬ ans. The four officers of the clubs, along with sponsor Mr. Marion Kellum, restructured the clubs into one. Thespians president Mi¬ chael Acsbok said, “We com¬ bined the two treasuries and also the officers. Now all four officers are known collectively as the ‘Quadumphiant’. We just use our old titles to joking¬ ly pull rank, since all four of us are equal in power.” Since a majority of the members are involved with both clubs, combining them made it easier to attend meet¬ ings. Anyone interested in the¬ ater who is willing to pay the dues can be a member of the drama wing of the club, but admittance into the Thespian wing requires actual experi¬ ence. The Thespians are a troupe of the International Thespian Society, which is a world-wide honor society for actors and technicians. A point system is used to deter¬ mine entrance into the soci¬ ety, with only experienced people being accepted. “By far, the best thing about Thespians has to be the initi¬ ations,” said junior Kathleen Trinoskey. Before a student can join Thespians, he or she must go through a typically embar¬ rassing initiation. Senior Scott Waldron said “When I was initiated, I had to walk around the Square in a diaper. Now I help decide the initiations, and I plan to have no mercy!” Production of the musical Grease with the music depart¬ ment, A Christmas Carol with Playmakers’ Community Theater, and Onions in the Stew were all part of the group’s agenda. The Dra¬ ma Thespian Club attended a performance in Chicago of The Nerd, which was directed by Charles Nelson Riley. To¬ wards the end of the year, the election of the new ‘Quadum¬ phiant,’ the initiation of new Thespians, and the awards banquet capped off the first year of the new Drama Thes¬ pians Club. CONDUCTING A REHEARSAL, student director Kristina Rajchel fol¬ lows lines and action of the actors on stage that will set the mood of the play. 72 A Christmas Carol FRED (Brad Rumsey) cannot explain SHARING THEIR CHRISTMAS his Uncle’s poor Christmas spirit to SPIRIT AND TRADITION, town car- his wife (Shelly Pazera) or to his olers (Carrie Mays, Jean Hagberg, and nieces (Sara Schmidt and Jennifer Patricia Rhodes) wish the townspeople a Benson.) happy new year.

Drama Thespians 73 Applause and laughter rang in the auditorium when the Music and Drama Depart¬ ments presented their version of the musical Grease. Over 300 people attended the per¬ formances which were held on October 24, 25, 29, and No¬ vember 1. The play was very upbeat, taking the viewer back to the ’50’s when poodle skirts, hoops, sockhops, gangs, and rumbles were the “in thing.” Wisecracks were also abun¬ dant throughout the produc¬ tion which kept the audience in high spirits. Many people were involved in the production of Grease. MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME at the high school dance, Vince Fon¬ taine (Mike Acsbok) and Marty (Kathlyn Fletcher) introduce them¬ selves to each others. THE ENTIRE CAST of Grease sing the final song of the musical, “We Go Together.” Mr. Marion Kellum, drama di¬ rector, directed the musical. Mr. James Haney, Music De¬ partment chairperson, was the producer, choral and or¬ chestra director. Michele La- berge, a professional choreo¬ grapher, directed the numer¬ ous dance scenes with the help of Kathy Fletcher and Laura Carl. A few students and teachers formed a pit band which provided music, and Music Boosters helped with publicity by distributing post¬ ers throughout the area. Scott Waldron, who placed Kenickie, said, “Doing our first real modern play took a lot of work and energy, but we all had a good time.” Prepar¬ ing for the play required re¬ hearsals every day for six to seven weeks for the seventeen cast members. The produc¬ tion of a modern play proved to be a satisfying change of pace from the usual Shake¬ speare and classical plays. “This was only my second play, and working with Scott Waldron and Chris Lance was a real experience. They both have an enormous amount of acting ability, which made working with them a really re¬ laxed situation. Also, they are very funny people, and that added a whole lot more fun,” commented Ronald Weber, who portrayed Danny Zuko. Satisfied with the produc¬ tion, Mr. Kellum said that the actors were well suited for their roles, and they were very talented. In the spirit of the musical, the departments sponsored a 1950’s car show at the high school. QT provided ’50’s Rock-n-Roll music.

Lesley was a real estate agent who was trying to persuade the McDonalds into selling their new house. with their boyfriends and husband. The three were jealous because the men were too friendly with other women. AFTER JUST MOVING IN, Betty McDonald (Jennifer Hoadley) ex¬ plains to her husband Don (Scott Waldron) her hopes of a good life on the island. They had just moved from a big city to an island and there was much adjusting to do. 76 Comedy humorous Comic play lures audience with stranded family The two daughters Anne, junior Shelly Pazera, and Joan, sophomore Patricia Rhodes, hated the idea of liv¬ ing on an island away from their friends and their boy¬ friends. To complicate the situation even more, plumbers wander around the house attempting to fix the plumbing and doing other odd jobs. Because of a lack of communication, the MacDonalds also had a house¬ ful of relatives and friends spending the night creating chaos. DECIDING TO STAY ON THE IS¬ LAND, the McDonald family re¬ solved all their jealousies and decided to make life on the island as fulfilling as possible. STANDING IN THE CENTER OF ATTENTION, Margo (Kristina Raj- chel) is admired by Roger (Mark Ad¬ ams), Howard Fraser (James McGlade), and Claud (Harry Pierce). The three men angered their girl¬ friends by paying so much attention Presenting Onions in the Stew on March 4, 5, and 6, Drama Club premiered their last play of the year. Happy with the performance, Mr. Marion Kellum, the director, said, “There were no major problems because they had re¬ hearsed so well.” Junior Jennifer Hoadley said, “I enjoyed this produc¬ tion a lot. Considering I had the lead role, it was a real privilege to be looked up to in an admiring way by the oth¬ ers.” The Drama Club chose to perform the comedy because they thought that they had much in common with the characters and their problems. The cast, chosen right after Christmas, rehearsed for sev¬ en weeks, five nights a week. The rehearsals were different from others because the cast was larger. This meant having actors on and off the stage constantly. Adding to the fun of this project was having three roles played by children from St. Mary’s and Eisen¬ hower schools. Also, the cast included sailors of the island. These included seniors and other amateur actors testing COMING TO THE AID OF HIS NEIGHBORS, Roger (Mark Adams) brings some firewood and a lantern. A blizzard was the cause of the shut off of electrical lines. their acting abilities and hav¬ ing fun trying something new. Betty MacDonald, junior Jennifer Hoadley, talked her husband Don MacDonald, se¬ nior Scott Waldron, and their two teenage daughters into moving to Vashon Island in Puget Sound near Seattle for some privacy and seclusion.

These singers, dressed in Elizabe¬ than costumes, displayed their talents at many civic or¬ ganizations, clubs, and churches during the Christ¬ mas season. Practice was very impor¬ tant in the success of their performances, and the group dedicated two nights a week to practice. Their effort and dedication paid off with their superb ratings at the district ISSMA competitions, where they received a First Place rat¬ ing which qualified them for state.

Mr. James Deal, di¬ rector, with the largest class in the orchestra’s history, boast¬ ed strength in all sections. The Fall Concert in October included selections from Bi¬ zet’s L’Arselon Suite. While the Christmas Concert fea¬ tured many favorite carols, it also included the traditional Hallelujah Chorus. Many students attended the ISSMA Solo Ensemble Con¬ test.

Orchestra, Symphonic Band 83 parching Regiment forms exacting drill routines with uniformity The Royal Regiment band members attended a week- long camp in August to pre¬ pare for their first field show. Preparation for the field show started in April of 1987 where the choice of music, drill and selection of color guard mem¬ bers were chosen. The theme chosen was ’50’s music from the musical hit GREASE. The songs played included “Grease,” “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “Greased Lightening,” “Hand Jive,” “We Go Together,” “In the Still of the Night,” and AT THE TRADITIONAL Parents’ Night, the Bulldog mascot escorts se¬ nior Ed Smead down the field. Ed was one of the seniors honored for his de¬ votion to the band. All senior athletes of the fall season and their parents were introduced. “Goodnight Sweetheart.” The band received fifth place at the Concord Invita¬ tional in Elkhart, Indiana. They also received second place at Chesterton and a sev¬ enth at Lafayette Jefferson. Although the second division rating received at the IISMA District Competition dis¬ qualified them from the up¬ coming regional competition, the band still experienced a great feeling of accomplish¬ ment along with a feeling of disappointment. Everyone felt the show was an overall success. Junior color guard member Jennifer Stutler said, “I felt the show was full of energy and pleasing to the crowd as well as the performers.” Junior band member Chris¬ tine Kyes said, “I thought the show was the most exciting one since I’ve been in high school.” The Royal Regiment brought the field to life as they danced, chanted, and played their instruments. Instead of heading towards the conces¬ sion stands as time began to run out on the clock at half¬ time, crowds of fans remained in their seats to watch the Regiment perform. The famil¬ iar strains of the popular ol¬ dies and the constant move¬ ment of the band kept the au¬ dience involved with every aspect of the show. Although not rated number one to the judges, the show was number one to the performers and es¬ pecially the viewers. 84 Royal Regiment Royal Regiment 85 ROYAL REGIMENT.

The all-vo¬ luntary band consists of stu¬ dents in grades 9-12 and any conceivable band instrument from trumpet to guitar. The pep band was actually divided into two bands; one for boys’ games and one for girls’ games. The band always played be¬ fore and during every game. The pep band also participat¬ ed in several concerts such as the Christmas concert, pre- ISSMA, and the Spring Con¬ cert. The Pre-ISSMA concert was held several days before the ISSMA contest. Music critics, teachers, parents, and members of the community were invited to listen and give advice and evaluate the band so it could improve and pre¬ pare for ISSMA. Pep band participated in the ISSMA contest and received a superi¬ or rating in the first division. “The pep band contributes to the spirit of the game and helps support the Hoosier Hysteria,” said Mrs. Peggy Shaffer. The frosh band, also direct¬ ed by Mrs. Peggy Shaffer, was organized to help develop the skills of the band members. Unlike jazz or pep band, frosh band practices and operates like a normal class during sixth hour during the school day. The frosh band partici¬ pated in three concerts: the Christmas concert. Pre-con¬ test, and the Pops contest They also performed at ISSMA, where they received a first in the group IV division. Several students were se¬ lected to All-Region of sev¬ enth through ninth graders. They were Krista Gapen, Matt Kovacich, Mary Ellen O’Brien, Derek Speer, Rency Underwood, and Brian Ver- tesch.

Lettermen, GVC 89 Rj Sports • ' .•jU | Teams offer tough challenge Beginning with the kickoff of football season late in August, down to the last pitch of the baseball season in June, Bulldog fans were kept on the edge of their seats wondering what would happen next. Although many of the teams were victorious and established win¬ ning records, there were also some teams that were young and not as experienced and spent much of their se ason rebuilding. Injuries also plagued some of the athletes hindering their team’s records. But despite these obstacles, many of the teams broke school records and won championships. A few teams were even lucky enough to qualify some of their members for the state meets. The surprising successes and setbacks kept fans guessing until the very end. 90 Sports Division IN A MATCH against Lowell, senior Brett Young returns the ball with a strong forehand shot.

Record-Breaker Varsity football team ranked fourth in state Tying with the 1984 record, the Bulldogs 10-1 season kept football fans on the edge of their seats from the opening game against Merrillville to the sectional playoff against the Highland Trojans. After a 21-14 victory over arch-rival Merrillville, the team went on to win its next four games, snaring a fourth place state¬ ranking. The high point in the sea¬ son was the Homecoming game. The Bulldogs went into the game ranked fourth in the state in class 5A. They faced conference rival Munster who was ranked fourth in the state in class 4A. With the pressure on, the Bulldogs walked away with a 7-3 victory, winning the conference title. BLOCKED BY SENIORS Chris Schach, Edwin Mysogland, and Jeff Kissel, quarterback Patrick Lane drops back and looks for an open man in the Highland game. The Bulldogs came back in the second half to beat the Trojans 20-10. Both the team and individ¬ uals set new school records. Besides setting a rushing rec¬ ord of 2,266 yards and a new record of 3,400 total yards, the team scored a record 330 points. M.V.P. John Young set a new school record of 1,480 yards rushing and scored a record-breaking 19 rushing touchdowns. In sectional play, the ‘Dogs easily defeated Gary Roose¬ velt with a score of 17-0. In semi-final playoffs, the Bull¬ dogs beat the Merrillville Pi¬ rates 12-10. In the sectional championship, the team suf¬ fered a heart-breaking loss to the Highland Trojans with a score of 23-21. With this defeat, the team’s dream of going on to regional play evaporated. Fans who had followed the team, even to all the away-games, had to look for a new pastime. Looking back on the season, Coach Brad Smith said, “It was the best coaching experi¬ ence of my career.” For the team, the winning season paid off with many awards. Receiving first team all-conference awards were Mike Minch, John Young, Jeff Gatch, and Brad Lambert. Second team all-conference awards went to Nick Byrd, Jeff Kissel, Edwin Mysogland, Chris Schach, Pat Lane, Scott Holder, Glenn Romans, and Jim Pause.

Varsity Football 93 Undefeated Year J.V. team remains unbeaten for the second year The junior varsity football team ended its season with a record of seven wins, no losses, and a tie. The tie was a score¬ less contest against the Grif¬ fith Panthers and at the end of regulation. Since there is no overtime, the game ended in a tie. The game proved to be more of a battle than a game between the two defenses. The offense could not put points on the board for either team because of the superb coach¬ ing from the defensive coach on both of the teams. All the other games played by the J.V. team proved to be in Crown Point’s favor. The most points the Bulldogs gave up were six points. Also the J.V. team, coached by Mr. Chuck Smoljan, scored an average of 13.5 points per game against their opponents. The defense, under Coach Ev¬ erett Ballou Sr., allowed only 2.5 points per game including four shutouts. The junior var¬ sity team finished first in con¬ ference. They also went unde¬ feated for the second year in a row. The team kept its win¬ ning attitude in the proper perspective. The team also played each game with ambi¬ tion, intensity, and the desire to win. The freshmen team, under the coaching of Mr. Scott Vlink, had a 6-1 record. The team suffered a loss the first game against Lake Central. The score at the final gun was Lake Central Indians, 8; and the Crown Point Bulldogs, 7. The game proved to be close because the Bulldogs never gave up with their desire to win. The rest of the season was fulfilling for the Bulldogs as they went 6-0. “The team showed good im¬ provement throughout the season, and they never gave up after their loss to Lake Cen¬ tral,” said Coach Scott Vlink. The offense, also, made good progress as they scored on the average of 16.7 pts. per game. The defense, which was extremely tough, led by Mark Minch, Andy Tucker, and Craig Patterson only all owed 5.5 points per game. The de¬ fense also recorded three shut¬ outs. “Overall, the freshmen had a great season and has a good football future to look forward to here at Crown Point,” said Coach Vlink.

They had a great outlook for the season and very high hopes. The girls came into the sea¬ son knowing it was going to be a challenging year. This fact didn’t pose a problem for the team as they roared in with a six game record of five wins and one loss.

More fans than ever before turned out to see wrestling. These satisfied fans saw the Bulldogs win ev¬ ery meet except one. “We lost to the fifth-ranked team in the nation, Provi¬ dence Catholic from Illinois. Our program has progressed to the point that teams from other states seek us out,” said Coach Scott Vlink. The Bulldogs won the A.A. and they were the only Indi¬ ana team that participated. The wrestlers were also victo¬ rious at the Valpo Tourney and the Crown Point Carl Carnahan Memorial Tourna¬ ment. Proud fans also watched the Bulldog wrestlers win confer¬ ence, sectionals, regionals, and semi-state, where they qualified six wrestlers for the state meet in Indianapolis. “We’ve never had a semi¬ state championship before. That was the high point of our season,” said Coach Scott Vlink. Seniors Andy Cobum, Troy Hepp, Jeff Greco, and Charles Smith, and junior Douglas Willems went on to Indiana¬ polis to compete with the best wrestlers in the state. Doug’s fifth place finish at 152, Troy’s third place finish at 145, and Charles’ second place finish at heavyweight helped the Bulldogs to take seventh at the State Meet.

The coaching staff expects wrestlers to work extremely hard to improve their skills, so they may make the varsity squad at least by their senior year. According to the coaches, the wrestlers worked hard on the mental and physical as¬ pect of the sport and have started to master and person¬ alize many of the moves which they have been drilled on hour after hour in practice. Coach Ballou said, “The freshman squad had an aver¬ age season. To start out the season, they were lacking ex¬ perience and now they have that along with a good funda¬ mental base.” Brian Nelson said, “Our freshman team may not have had an extremely good season in the books, but that is not what freshman wrestling is about. It is about learning the basics, getting a feel for the sport, and building some con¬ fidence.” Brian will be wres¬ tling as a heavyweight on the varsity squad next season.

Everyone can expect better from the Bulldogs in the future,” commented Mr. Carl Smead, assistant coach. AWAITING THE START OF THE GAME, junior Eric Quale warms up on the pitchers mound.

They then played eight games and won four of these games. The ju¬ nior varsity finished its season with a final record of nine wins and nine losses and a conference record of six wins and five losses. Lack of consistency throughout the season from the team’s defense cost the Bulldogs a few games. “We were consistent offensively but our pitching and field play let us down at times,” said Coach Jim Saksa.

Coack Saksa, who moved up to junior varsity from the freshman team said, “I en¬ joyed the move up. I was able to work more with Coach Sherry and the varsity pro¬ gram.” The freshman boys’ base¬ ball team ended its season with a final record of four wins and eight losses, and a confer¬ ence record of three wins and four losses. The team had a good start by defeating Low¬ ell, 10-9. In a close game against Griffith, the team could not pull it off and lost 5- 4. The freshman also received a new coach, Mr. A1 Pilarcik. Coach Pilarcik is new to Crown Point. Freshman Baseball 133 134 Varsity Softball MAKING A PERFECT CATCH, se¬ nior Candice King catches a strike ball.

Stacy had a .943 fielding average. _Team_ _ Relies on Depth J.V. team remains unbeaten for the second year “We didn’t have an over¬ powering pitcher as we did in the past, so we really had to rely on the team’s depth this year,” said Coach Tom Witten of the season. The varsity softball team started off its season on a neg¬ ative note by falling to the Ho¬ bart Brickies in a close game of 7-8. They quickly bounced back and had a four-game win¬ ning streak over Chesterton, Lowell, Calumet, and An- drean. The rest of the season was rather rocky because of inconsecutive wins. “The highpoint of the sea¬ son was beating Highland the second time we played them,” said Coach Tom Witten. “They were ranked seven¬ teenth in the state, and beat¬ ing them felt really good,” he added. GETTING A PIECE OF THE BALL, junior Tracy Kissel hits one into the outfield. Tracy had a .346 bat¬ ting average. MAKING IT TO THIRD BASE, se¬ nior Tracy Roller watches the rest of the play. Tracy’s on base percentage was .460. There were some outstand¬ ing plays throughout the sea¬ son. In a game with the Por¬ tage Indians, Tressa Menn hit the first out-of-the-park home run at the Crown Point girls’ softball field. In sectional play, the girls started off with an over¬ whelming 9-4 victory over the Lowell Red Devils. In the sec¬ tional championships, the girls fell to a strong Lake Cen¬ tral team 2-6. Co-M.V.P.’s Candice King and Tressa Menn were named First Team All-Conference and also named to the Ham¬ mond Times All-Star team. All-Conference Honorable Mentions went to Stacey Boyer, Caroline Shoenfelt, Tracy Roller, and Tracy Kis¬ sel.

The Bulldogs started off the season with a win against Por¬ tage. After being defeated by a tough state-ranked Highland team earlier in the season, the Lady Bulldogs came back and defeated the Trojans later by a score of 13 to 3. The game end¬ ed early in the sixth inning due to the ten-run rule stated in the IHSAA code. Ending the season, the Hobart Brick¬ ies defeated the Lady Bull¬ dogs. “Overall, I think we had a good season.” said sopho¬ more Tracy Mysliwiec, “I feel that we’ll return next year with a stronger season.” At the annual awards ban¬ quet held in the spring, Jenny Saylor received the Most Im¬ proved Player Award. Deb¬ orah King received the Best Attitude Award. Sheri Hall and Deborah Stefankiewicz were named co-most valuable players.

The depart¬ ment decided to add golf be¬ cause many of the other schools in the Lake Suburban Conference area have a girls’ golf team. Some of the girls who signed were experienced golfers, while others entered the sport knowing very little or nothing about it. “There was a little bit of confusion getting things orga¬ nized, yet after we got started things went well,” said sopho¬ more Monica Mehling. The only thing the girls had to supply were their own golf clubs. The Athletic Depart¬ ment helped out by purchas¬ ing uniforms for the girls. “We really didn’t have the greatest first season,” said sophomore Caroline Schoen- felt. “But everyone worked to¬ gether, and it was a lot of fun.” Although this was the first year, the team ended the sea¬ son with five wins and seven losses. High points for the golfers were taking second at the Tri¬ angular meet against Merrill¬ ville and Knox, and taking first at the Triangular meet against Hobart and Roosevelt. The team placed eighth at sectionals in a field of 12 teams. “It was definitely a building year. I was very satisfied.” said Coach Carol Shipley, “We ex¬ pect to come back even stron¬ ger next year.” Erica Greiner, who received the Most Valuable Player award, was happy that the Athletic Department decided to start a golf team. Erica has been playing golf for six years. After a satisfying first sea¬ son, most of the girls plan to return next year.

The team highlighted its season by de¬ feating arch rivals Munster and Lake Central to win a tie with Munster as conference champions. The sole first place confer¬ ence was lost due to a “lost” ball. The game was played on the Scherwood Club Course and the ball was either picked- up or played by mistake by an adult golfer. “We must do better in the future,” says Coach Joseph Heuer. Poor showings in the invitational meets were the disappointments of the golf season. Two “iron men” on the tean are junior Rob Wilson and se¬ nior Scott Phillips. They are consistent in their games and are strong leaders for the team. Junior Mike Koscho is a strong competitor and has im¬ proved his game this season.

They begin practice as soon as they are chosen in April and continue until try¬ outs the next year. Varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders faced stiff com¬ petition to be chosen. Ten var¬ sity and ten junior varsity cheerleaders were chosen from 57 girls at try-outs in the spring. The girls began prac¬ ticing immediately after that for summer camp where they competed against many other squads. The varisty squad attended camp at Notre Dame, spon¬ sored by the International Cheerleading Foundation.

Mrs. Rae Jean Zea, cheerleading sponsor said, “Both squads did very well in competition and also learned many new cheers which they used at all the games.” The cheerleaders had a very tough schedule. Every one of them cheered at all of the foot¬ ball games and the boys’ and girls’ basketball games. Not only are the girls required to be at every game, but they also must keep their grades up and be good representatives of their school. Mrs. Zea said, “They work very hard under a strict con¬ stitution in which they must maintain good grades.” She also said that they deserve much credit for leading school spirit. Along with cheering on the Bulldogs, the cheerleaders held many fundraisers this year. They sponsored quite a few after-game dances and the Turnabout Dance in January. They sold jewelry and candy also. All of the money raised went to purchase warm-up suits and new uniforms for all of the squads. The squads also received a large donation from the Maizco Company to put towards their uniforms.

The CP-ettes performed at i halftime of all of the home basketball games and prior to all of the home football games. The girls chose top ten music from all of the favorite artists to perform to. The squad started practic¬ ing every morning in June to •prepare for competition at camp. The attended the NCA i Superstar camp at Valparaiso University. After competing there, they qualified for the national competition in Cali¬ fornia. Because of lack of funds, they could not attend. Senior Debbie Ruffing was chosen to perform at the Hula Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii but was also unable to attend be¬ cause of lack of money. The girls also competed in Joliet, Illinois, where they re¬ ceived excellent scores. The CP-ettes sponsored two after-game dances to raise money. They also sold raffle tickets, candy, and entertain¬ ment books. They held a few car washes and a bake sale. All of these fundraisers went to raise money to buy new uniforms and dance poms for the squad. The Student Council also pitched in and donated money to them for the first time. Mrs. Jan VanHorn, sponsor of CP-ettes said, “The atti¬ tude of the girls was very posi¬ tive, and I feel we made great accomplishments.” The freshman cheerleading squad had a big change this year when two girls were add¬ ed to the squad. In the past there has only been six frosh cheerleaders, but eight were chosen for the squad. The girls worked very hard to cheer on both the boys’ and girls’ teams. The squad learned many of their cheers at cheer¬ leading camp at Ball State University. DURING A TIME OUT, freshman Jennifer Rocchio performs a floor cheer to get the crowd going.

A prophet, a soothesayer, a psychic. All can predict. | Most can only guess. The freshmen started off without even a clue as to what was happening. They had trouble guessing what would happen, so they coasted by, watching the motions of the upperclassmen. The sophomores and juniors had more experience; however, they, were still guessing. Harder classes taught discipline. The seniors realized that they had to make some decisions.

Taking a deep breath, the DURING LATIN CLASS, Ann Pear- man discusses class notes with Mrs. Ruth Kemagis. Latin students fre¬ quently discuss Roman customs and language. student looked at his note- cards and began his speech. During the speech as his eyes caught his shaky image of a nervous wreck, comfort set in. He realized that it wasn’t so bad being the center of at¬ tention. Dawn Salczynski said, “This year I began to realize the value of giving class pre¬ sentations. It gives one a bet¬ ter self-confidence level and better speaking skills that will be needed in future years.” When the speech was com¬ pleted, the presenter felt relief. “I felt as if the weight of the world had been taken off of my shoulders,” said Joelee Salm¬ on. Giving a speech in front of a class was one of the biggest fears of many students. They were afraid of saying some¬ thing stupid or of being bor¬ ing. Although walking up to the front of the classroom was dif¬ ficult, students felt more com¬ fortable once they got to the podium. Kristen Allen said, “Once I got in front of the class, I was not nervous anymore.” Even though giving presen¬ tations seemed like added pressure to students, speeches prepared them to be able to talk in front of a group of peo¬ ple. This skill was especially valuable since it gave students the poise needed to address a group. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS.

Demmon said, break a date be¬ cause it just leads to trouble, and besides I might miss out on a great evening.” Some think to break someone’s heart gently is the way it should be done. Sarah also said, “If I absolutely couldn’t let myself go out with a per¬ son, I’d be as delicate as possi¬ ble because I wouldn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, no matter who they are.” Although some seniors still use old cliches like I have to wash my hair to¬ night or I have a headache, most try to come up with better and more creative excuses. Others stick with the George Washington ap¬ proach by simply telling the truth. It’s probably easier to do the latter option con¬ sidering one lie usually leads to another. Sooner or later one will find oneself caught in a web of lies. Breaking dates isn’t a fun experience, but most teens live through broken dates and broken hearts. Snow creates parking dilemmas With the temperature four degrees above zero and with almost a foot of snow on the ground, Susie Senior was al¬ ready running late. Besides having to find a car under¬ neath all that snow, she had a million friends to pick up. After putting on her ski gloves, moon boots, and Eski¬ mo parka, she was on her way to school. With all of her friends piled into the backseat of the car, the heater on “high,” the radio blasting, and everyone putting final touches to their appear¬ ance, she pulled her slow-mov¬ ing vehicle into the CPHS parking lot. Susie Senior wondered to herself, “Where am I going to park? Just because there is a little snow on the ground, peo¬ ple think they own the world. They take up seventeen park¬ ing spaces for a car the size of a matchbox. Nice joke!” After driving around for five minutes, she ended up parking on the other end of the school. She muttered to no one in par¬ ticular, “It’s going to be a long walk.” Some students, like senior Stanley J. Smith, don’t have a big hassle finding a place to park. He said, “It’s not too hard for me, seeing as how I ride a bus.” THE DAY BEGINS for seniors Roger Walker, Mark Hill, and Dean Hoch- baum with the ritualistic drive to school. Parking in the school lot is a privilege enjoyed by seniors. BEING PART OF the senior class has its privileges. Leslie Chapman gets into her Pontiac Fiero after a hard day at school. Only seniors are allowed to park in the school lots. 1 CYNTHIA M.

Your Senior English Project was assigned a month ago, but you still haven’t started on it, and it’s due next week. Or maybe you find yourself by your friend’s locker when the bell suddenly rings, and your class is on the other side of the school. In either incident, you need a good excuse. Most seniors at Crown Point are pretty good at making last minute excuses. When homework was due, the ever-popular, “I left it at home” was used. Other times, students had enough time to come up with creative excuses, such as, “I left it in my mom’s car, and she’s going to Chicago for the rest of the week.” As for tardiness, seniors found it easy to make excuses. Brett Shahbaz liked to use, “I saw a great fight break out in the hall. I just couldn’t pass it up.” Others used “My locker was jammed.” Some said that a teacher stopped them in the hall to talk about a class. On all occasions , seniors are quick to come up with creative or or¬ dinary excuses. CONGREGATING BY THEIR LOCKERS, seniors Jeff Pendley, Da¬ vid Marijanich, and Michelle Peter¬ son get ready for their next class. hresh look Seniors display future dreams Bright red with a sparkling white Indiana, navy with a yellow Notre Dame logo, or gold with a black Purdue, col¬ lege t-shirts come in all colors and styles. Seniors wear them to support a favorite team, to show future ambitions, or to have a better appearance. When the seniors visit dif¬ ferent colleges, one of the first priorities is to look in the stu¬ dent bookstore to buy college t-shirts. Tracy Pierce said, “I like North Carolina’s mascot, so I wear their shirts.” Some of the students plan to attend the schools they dis¬ play on their chests, but the fact remains that students love to wear them. Maybe the reason is to pursue a future dream or just because they like the style. Whatever the rea¬ son, students show loyalty to certain schools by sporting their shirts. USING HIS STUDY HALL WISE¬ LY, senior James Pause completes his pre-calculus. James shows his support for Notre Dame’s athletic program. DISPLAYING THEIR LOYALTY to favorite colleges, seniors Philip Wayco, Patrick Lane, and Steven Tayler reach for their lunches. Unforgettable Seniors look back at high school years When it came time to say goodbye, the class of 1988 looked back and recalled some of their most unforgettable ex¬ periences. “My most memorable expe¬ rience was at a gymnastics meet in Merrillville,” said se¬ nior Joanne Martine. “I was on a beam and I hadn’t fallen off yet. As I was on the last pass, I realized that I was go¬ ing to stick the routine and said aloud, ‘Oh, my God,’ and finished the routine.” Seniors also reminisced about the people that they would miss the most. “What I will probably miss the most are my closest friends. I will still stay in touch with them, so it is not like I am going to lose them. But it is going to be different not seeing them ev¬ eryday,” replied senior Terry Williams. Friends give high school that extra specialness of memorable moments. Terry’s most memorable ex¬ perience was becoming con¬ ference and sectional champ during sophomore wrestling.

T Crutches Students utilize study aides Besides the pressures of a job, a social life, and choosing a college, seniors had to deal with school work. Many might have thought that since they were already accepted to a col¬ lege they did not have to keep their grades up or worry about class rank; however, some stu¬ dents realized that colleges are concerned about the second semester and still worked. “Seniors should be able to take it easy because it’s their last year, and it is supposed to be fun,” said senior Chris Zakrzewski. In order to cope with school work, students used academic crutches for help. For exam¬ ple, in an English class when a difficult book was assigned, many students went out to the mall and bought Cliff Notes. “I like to use Cliff Notes be¬ cause even though I read the books, the Cliff Notes help me to understand what I’ve read better,” said senior Jennifer Szymanski. Another way students helped themselves was by studying or copying friends’ notes. For many, lending notes became an everyday ritual in- between classes and during lunch. Students also found that studying for tests in groups was less boring. “Sometimes I like to get together with my friends to study because it’s more fun,” said senior Tressa Menn. With the pressure of mak¬ ing good grades, seniors re¬ lieved themselves of the school work load by using aca¬ demic crutches. AN ACCOUNTING CLASS assign¬ ment is writing a cash payment’s jour¬ nal. Debbie Whelan quickly tries to finish her journal. rp 1 1 inv l G C _1 pers Seniors share embarrassir ig blunders Embarrassing moments found ways of creeping up on every senior at almost any¬ where at anytime. Sometimes embarrassing situations happened at an ath¬ letic event. “During my junior year against a game at Lew Wallace, I was running from second base, when my cleets stuck in the ground, and I fell,” said Bob Hein. Senior Tracy Roller said, “During my freshman year, Mr. May had told us what time the bus was leaving, and FEELING A BIT EMBARRASSED to have their pictures taken in a high traffic area, seniors Kim Johnson and Jennifer Pavol give a smile. somehow I got the times mixed up! I ended up missing the bus to regionals, and my mom had to drive me to Calu¬ met. I walked into the gym as the Crown Point crowd yelled, ‘Freshman, freshman, fresh¬ man.’ Since then I’ve always double checked the time of bus departure.” Embarrassing situations may be frightening, surpris¬ ing, humiliating, or even a learning experience. Although students were not able to es¬ cape the nightmare of encoun¬ tering unfamiliar, frightening, and embarrassing moments, they did manage to survive them. 1 PATTY NORENBERG — General Curriculum.

T amily ties Siblings suffer in same class When a student walks down the halls, he sees the faces of many friends, but none more familiar than that of a brother or sister. Some students wel¬ comed having a brother or sis¬ ter in school, but others looked upon it as an embar¬ rassment or as a bad omen. Senior Wendy Kooistra ex¬ plained: “My brother was in school with me until last year, and I didn’t mind it unless I got one of his old teachers. They would tell me how differ¬ ent we were and then con¬ stantly compare us.” Some students tried to avoid their siblings. Senior Cynthia Czapla said, “If I had family members in school, I’d probably act like I had no idea who they were.” Some students didn’t see it that way. They enjoyed having an older sibling attending the same school as they did. Shellie Hall said, “I liked it because he is smart, and we have some of the same classes.” As incoming freshman, some students welcomed the presence of an older brother or sister to depend on in a time of need while getting acquainted to the school. A family mem¬ ber in school may seem to be an embarrassment, but may just be a blessing in disguise. DURING HER FREE TIME as a guidance aide, senior Meagan Mar¬ shall works on her pre-calculus as¬ signment. Many students choose to work in the office as guidance aides rather than have a study hall. WORKING DILIGENTLY TO FIN¬ ISH a cultural assignment in Mrs. Lu¬ cille Pruitt’s class, senior Shauna Conn reads about the Guajiran Indian tribe of Venezuela. Fourth year Span¬ ish focuses on studies of Spanish¬ speaking countries, as well as intense verb drills. Awaited vacation brings sun-filled fun Shortly after Christmas, homework blended into end¬ less streams and the school days seemed never-ending. But when the snow finally melted, Spring Break Fever hit the seniors. A few journeyed on their awaited vacation to Spain. Mike Gilyan and Wendy Kooistra shared a thrilling ex¬ perience. Mike said, “The main high¬ light of my trip was just being in Spain and observing the different way of life.” Not all seniors were lucky PREPARING FOR A COLORADO TRIP, Benny Wilkinson, David An- tonson, Andy Coburn, Philip Wayco, and Chris Schach load up the car. enough to circle the globe, so they explored the U.S. Dar¬ lene Rush, Debbie Grabowski, Kim Johnson, and Leslie Chapman traveled to Day¬ tona, Florida. Darlene said, “We spent most of the time near the hotel pool soaking up the sun.” Seniors Chris Schach, Andy Coburn, Ben Wilkinson, Dave Antonson, and Phil Wayco shared an unforgettable 17- hour train ride to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Most of their time was spent skiing and tanning during the day and hot-tubbing or visiting lounges at night. “We had a fantastic time,” said senior Chris Schach. 1 TERRYL R.

I Big decisions Applications drive some seniors crazy During senior year, stu¬ dents are pressured by friends, teachers, counselors, and par¬ ents to make a major decision in their lives: what college to attend and how to get the money to go there. Every year the college dream becomes harder to envision because of the high tuition fees and ex¬ pensive room and board costs. Because of rising costs, some students find college ap¬ plications harder to fill out. While some students dread TAKING A BREAK FROM HIS STUDIES, senior Sascha Retailleau fills out his Financial Aid Form (F.A.F.) in hope of receiving some kind of monetary help for college. filling out the applications, others really are apathetic. Se¬ nior Rick Haber said, “I really don’t mind them, just as long as they don’t have essay ques¬ tions to answer.” Many students fill out a number of applications to be accepted into a college. After the college has accept¬ ed the student, he still has to fill out a lengthy financial aid form. When applications and financial aid forms are filled out and verified, the student can breath a sigh of relief, kick back, enjoy the summer weather, and wait for fall to roll in to start in the reality of college life.

Parties were always the most popular pas¬ time. “If I can’t find some¬ thing to do, I go to Stardust,” said senior Dawn Ricard. Some people found Broad¬ way to be a place for weekend outings. Senior Bob Hein said, “I go to the place underneath Merri Bowl called Down in the Alley.” Recently there has been a number of newly released movies, so others chose to catch a movie with their BOPPIN’ TO THE BEAT of the mu- date enjoy a dance to an up-beat rhythm at Turnabout. friends. “I enjoy spending time with my friends and my boyfriend,” said senior Jodi Stemler. For others, the weekends meant a compromise of work and play. Senior Debbie Papa- gianakis said, “I usually work in the mornings til 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon. I usu¬ ally go out with my friends on Saturday night. We go to the movies, restaurants, bowling alley, or each other’s houses, and, of course, we go shop¬ ping.” Despite the variety of ways in which seniors spend their weekends, they all had one thing in common. They loved to have a good time! eruption Juniors free pent-up energies Being a junior can be tough at times. Having a job and go¬ ing to school makes life a little complicated, and students may sometimes need to blow some steam. For some students having some time for themselves may be the trick. Heather Zelaya goes home and keeps herself occupied until she can think everything over. Some juniors find that exer¬ cising is a great way to blow off steam. “If I’ve had a hard day at school, I usually work out with weights,” said Jason Akers. Angie Popovich adds that when she feels as if she hasn’t accomplished anything, she can change it by doing some¬ thing good for her body like running. A few juniors talk things over with parents or friends. “I talk to my fiance after I’ve had a hard day,” says Wendy Hegyi. Michelle Novak likes to go shopping. She said, “Spend¬ ing mine and my dad’s money is relaxing to me.” DURING VARSITY FOOTBALL practice. Dean Shapley tries to get through a blocker to tackle Charles Smith. This drill enables defensive players to learn new ways to get through the opponent’s offensive line. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS.

Many students used this time to catch up on homework they didn’t finish. Other students sleep or lis¬ ten to music. Doug DeMars listens to his stereo or works out with his punching bag. Phil Anderson likes to listen to his stereo on full blast. But Cory Ledwitch tops it all off by “blasting Bob Seger’s ‘Old Time Rock-n-Roll’ on my ste¬ reo and dancing around the house till I’m exhausted.” 170 Juniors Rebecca Abel Mark Adams Sherrie Adank Robbie Aeschliman Jason Akers Jennifer Albano Jeremy Allen Scott Allen Brian Alliss Lisa Alliss Sharon Alliss Kenny Anderson Phillip Anderson Lori Andreatta Sandra Andrews William Anello Jill Aneston Tracy Apolskis Kathleen Archer Steven Argeropolos Dawn Ash Kimberly Ashby Jeffrey Augsburger Jeffrey Avery Mike Badali Annette Bailey Glenn Baird Cheryl Baker Everett Ballou Shelley Bapple Steve Barber Phillip Barbercheck Kathleen Barney Kyle Bashia Michael Bauner Kristy Bazant Michelle Beach Angela Bell Jennifer Benda Scott Bergstrom Robert Bikoff Elizabeth Billmeier Corri Black Patricia Blaney Chad Blech Donald Blum Michael Bodinger Kristen Bolinger Mathew Bonich Michelle Bonini Regina Binini Tracy Borrman Braaley Bosse Leroy Bowman Stacey Boyer Brian Braithwaite Marc Branon Carl Brittingham Holly Brown Jerry Brown Scott Brown John Brumbaugh Danielle Brumm Ken Bruno John Burish Julie Burr Diane Bussel Jason Bydalek Nick Byrd Ann Cain Michelle Caldwell Christopher Calhoun Gregory Caputo Toda Carey Scott Carnahan David Centofanti Christopher Charters Joseph Chiarella Michael Chrysler Lance Clarke Craig Claus 1 Juniors 171 Eric Clendenen Laura Clinton Eli Coleman Julie Collier Todd Collins Melissa Cook Krista Cooper Susan Cox Troy Cox Valerie Crawford Rebecca Croak Christina Cummings Drew Daily Jodi Dalton Aaron Daly Dale Daniels Kristina Danilaitis Rebecca Davis Steven Day Mark De St. Jean Dan Delahunty Anthony Delaney Douglas Demars Linda Denvit Jodi Dickerson Timothy Dickson James Dillon Veronica Dimitroff Shawn Dodson Kathy Donley Paula Donley Gabriel Donofrio Courtney Doolin Heather Dorin Catherine Dowler Deborah Drag Lynn Dressel Angela Duncan Carrie Eich Cindy Embry Jennifer Endris April Erdelen Cynthia Farias Joseph Festa Kelly Fetty Tad Filter Shawn Finch Mark Fischer Lori Fleming Lorie Fleming Tina Fleming Tracy Foley Mike Ford Kim Fotschky Jeff Fox Shawn Fraley Robert Franko Jeff Franks Heidi Frenken Charity Friend William Gall James Galocy Joseph Carcia Sheila Card Jeff Catch Sara Gebauer Heather Georgiadis Heidi Giammarese David Gilbey Amy Gilles Bill Glassford Stephanie Goerges Cynthia Goldman Melissa Graham Christoph Grantsaris Rodney Graves Erica Greiner Phillip Gruszka Mark Guertin Colin Gulledge Tracy Hachler I - 172 Juniors Striking Teen’s style say ‘look at me’ The alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. You rub your sleepy eyes, roll out of bed, and proceed to ask yourself the familiar ques¬ tion, “What am I going to wear?” You go to your closet and check out what’s inside: sweaters big enough to hold two people, huge shirts, frost¬ ed jeans, baggier than normal pants, and a million pairs of shoes ranging from boots to REEBOK tennis shoes.

On your way to your locker, you notice the fads and fash¬ ions people are engaging in these days: friendship brace¬ lets, new wave hairdos, hair bows, rolled up pants, iced- washed denims, and college sweatshirts. However, a few fads are not appealing to some students. Jennifer O’Connor flatly stated, “I hate camou¬ flage pants and ripped jeans.” Junior Mike Koscho said, “I hate fads where people shave their heads or look like they stuck their finger in a light socket.” As you wander from one class to the next, you take in all the brand names that cover students’ bodies. Big names like BUGLE BOY, CODE BLUE, COCA-COLA, ES¬ PRIT, FORENZA, GEN¬ ERRA, GUESS, OUTBACK RED, and about a million oth¬ ers. In the end, whether your hair is blue and spiked, or you just paid $50 for that hole in your GUESS jeans, you and everyone else are striving for the same thing — INDIVID¬ UALITY. A style that says, “This is me, and this is the way I like it.” Attempts Friendly chats lead to dating “How do you get to know someone you want to go out with?” is a question that many teens face. Eric Quale said, “First I let the girl know I like her by talk¬ ing to one of her friendis, or I tell her myself if I’m feeling brave. Then I get to know her as well as I can. The worst thing to do is try to impress her, so I always try to be my¬ self. After a week or two, hope¬ fully, she will give me her. phone number, then I’ll call her once or twice a week. By ANSWERING THE QUESTION for a story in Mrs. Debbie Callison’s fourth hour, junior Jodi Lamprecht works to complete her assignment. the end of all this, she may feel the same way about me that I feel about her.” A lot of people try to form a friendship first. Brad Rumsey said, “I try to spend time with her and develop a relationship where we feel we know enough about each other to go out.” Angela Popovich feels the same. “It’s a lot easier to be friends at first because then if you do go out, you know a little about each other and it takes off some of the pressure.” Some people are shy about letting on that they like some¬ one. Lorraine Marszalek said, “When I like someone, only one or two people know about it. I’m usually very quiet around him and maybe once in a while I’ll say ‘hi!’ ” Others have no problem let¬ ting him her know they’re in¬ terested. Tracy Hachler said, “I call him every night, have friends talk to him, put notes in his locker, and try to be ev¬ erywhere he goes. Sometimes I even ride my bike around his driveway until he sees me.” There are about a million ways to get acquainted with someone you would like to go out with, and many of those ways actually work. A laid back point of view that works for Glenn Baird is, “I just come up with a clever line!” 1 Tricia Hacker Dawn Hackett Jean Hagberg Ronald Hall Dan Hammond Deanne Hardin Brian Hargis Todd Harper Jack Harris Beth Hazelbaker Rena Head Lori Hecker Wendy Hegyi Angie Henley Karen Henry Katie Hicks Jennifer Hoadley Doug Hoffman Steven Hoffman Scott Holder Paula Honeycutt James Houldson Laura Howell Larissa Hovt Lester Hudson Robyn Hudson Cisela Huermmerich Cheryl Huizenga Christopher Hull Edward Ivanyo Denise Jaeger James Jagoda Ann Marie Jancovich Anthony Janko Jodie Jawor Garry Jewett Charles Johnson Clint Johnson Thomas Johnstone Amy Jolfiffe Robin Kaegi Jana Kemper Joseph Kiger Christohper Kilander Mi Kyung Kim Crystal Kinder Eric Kinney Tracy Kissel Amy Klein Jackie Kleine Dawn Klopsch Clifford Koleski Michael Koscho Samuel Kozaitis Jon Krainak Toni Kralek Dean Kreis Susan Kurowski Kara Kustron Christine Kyes Robert Labus Tom Lagacv Marie Laliberte Jenni Lambeth Jodi Lamprecht Mike Lauerman Cory Ledwitch Ronnie Leighty Jenny Lindell Kristin Linsley Kevin Lint Brian Long Daniel Long Holly Long Nikki Loosemore Becky Lovas Sheryl Love Debie Luchene Kristene Lunkes Shannon Macke Colette Malizzo J Juniors 175 I Christine Mares Celenne Margiotta Craig Marijanich Anthony Marlow Lorraine Marszalek Ken Matusiak Timothy Matzdorf Steven May Jackie Mavs Bill McCall Julie McCowan Mark McDaniel Noreen McGinnis Tami McKinley Bill McKinney Kelly McPheron Narin Meguerditchian Derek Meinhard Amy Meschede Martha Meyers Heather Micklewright Bose Mifiby Glenn Miller Robert Minas Michael Minch Linda Miracle Michael Mitchell Tammie Mitsch Chris Mojica Marcia Monix Matthew Monroe John Moore Phil Morgan Tursa Morris Wendy Morris Angela Mostello Danette Motvka Lisa Mueller Michelle Murphy Julie Myszkowski Kathy Nahod Lydia Nastovich Lyn Navarre Cecil Neely Brian Neises Barbara Nelms Brian Nelson Craig Nichols Natalie Nims Darlene Noak John Noel Kelly Nomanson Randy Norris Michelle Novak Bridget O’Brien Jennifer O’Brien Jennifer O’Connor Stacy Olsen Brian Oneschak Ryan Pahang Renee Palmeri Mary Pappas Gus Paramantgis Russell Parent Traci Parker Bryan Paton Bobby jo Patrick Shelly Pazera Christine Pepa Kim Peters Amanda Petyko Larry Phillips Tina Phillips Michael Phipps Christopher Pierce Scot Pierce Matthew Poole Angela Popovich Tammy Post Lori Powers Michelle Powers I 176 Juniors ockers Home is where the ‘hunk’ is Down the dimly lit corri¬ dors of Crown Point High School lies a totally unknown world: the world of the wild and bizarre lockers that are never seen by the naked eye until passing period, or before and after school. Otherwise known as a storage area for books, coats, and any other necessities of life, these tall metal boxes are a combination of favorite musicians, highly attractive human beings, and other sentimental objects. Junior Tom Johnstone said, “I like to decorate my locker with pictures of girls in biki¬ nis.” These cubbyholes are filled with an array of items, ranging from heavy metal posters to snapshots of “the best weekend in the world,” high school sweethearts, or a boy’s pride and joy-his car. Junior Ed Ivanyo said, “I decorate my locker with things like ‘A+’ papers.” Oth¬ ers, like Eric Quale, look at it just as a place to store books. “Where else would I put them?” asked Eric. Each locker makes a state¬ ment about the person “liv¬ ing” in it for four years of high school. It tells what he likes, what he likes to do, and what he may someday like to be. For example, if a locker has pic¬ tures of cars, the owner may aspire to become a race car driver. Sometimes, mementos from previous students get left be¬ hind, and the person occupy¬ ing the locker now gets a taste of past generations. He learns what was “in” then and what is “out” now. He gets a feeling of knowing something about the person that was there be¬ fore. Every locker’s decoration varies. It’s a matter of person¬ al preference, individual likes. Each one has a different story to tell and never will anyone find two the same. DECORATED WITH snowmobile trail signs and a noose, junior Dean Shapley’s locker looks like a college LOCKERS POSE AS A NOT-SO- SECRET rendezvous for friends.

She had money, a car, and a lot of energy. Going through a store in the mall, she selected a pair of jeans to purchase, walked to the check out area and whammo: she saw a line a mile long. She glanced at her watch, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and impatiently tapped her foot as she set herself for a long wait. Waiting.

Beth Billmeier said, “Six¬ teen years is the longest I’ve ever had to wait for some¬ thing, and that was to get my license.” Juniors had an especially difficult time with waiting. They waited for the ultimate goal of high school careers: be¬ coming seniors. For some the wait had been a long, tedious one; for others, the time had flown by. Jodi Jawor said, “I’ve been waiting to become a senior since freshman year. Once you’re a senior, you feel like you are the best in the school.” Brian Vetter Christoher Walker Christie Walters Shelley Washko Shannon Watkins Peggy Watson Jennifer Welker Daniel Wells Matthew ' Whitaker Marybeth Wickhorst Jennifer Wille Douglas Willems Gloria Williams Reed Williams Tracy Willmore Angela Wilson Crystal Wilson Mark Wilson Robbie Wilson Daniel Witten Todd Wolber Keith Wood Danette Wray Chad Wright Michael Wilber Rochelle Young Heather Zelaya Juniors 179 Eric Abraham Christal Adams Timothy Addison Christohper Aldrich Michael Allen Ariana Amandio Kandi Andersen Elizabeth Anderson James Anderson John Anderson Michael Anderson Anthony Anello Cindy Archbold Brian Archer Deanna Ash Brian Ashcraft Jennifer Atkinson Shawn Bagnell Joseph Banek Christopher Baran Joseph Barbao lohn Barber Richard Barkauskas Chris Barman Larry Batcheller Deanna Batson Alison Baxter Darren Beck Michele Beckman Crystal Bell Jody Bennett Jennifer Benson Catherine Benton Chris Biernat Rebecca Bikoff Jason Billows Eric Birdzell David Blagojevic Rochelle Blankenship Grace Blanton Bryan Bodamer Jill Bolkovatz Jennifer Bostian Bart Botkin Julie Boucher Gary Boyd Gregory Bradley Kim Bradley Laurie Brawley Lisa Browar Jessica Brumback Billy Jo Brunker Lidia Bruscemi Nancy Bucur Tracy Bult Amie Bunch Michael Burke David Burrow Terri Butler Joseph Butz Chrischelle Byers Penny Cadle Mark Camarena Michael Camperman Elizabeth Candela David Cash Gary Caulk Vince Cebular Andrea Charters Catherine Charters Donald Christian Patrick Cicero Brenda Clemens Michelle Clinton Jeffrey Clites Jason Coburn Janel Coe Greg Coleman Brett Conwav Tammy Cook Stephen Coppage 180 Sophomores Panic Crushes make hearts flutter There you go again, incon¬ spicuously watching that per¬ son walk down the hall. Your heart flutters as he turns the corner and disappears. You wonder what is happening to you. Last week you didn’t even know this person existed. Now you get weak-kneed when he walks by. What hap¬ pened? Oh no, it can’t be! Not another CRUSH! But you’re not alone. Al¬ most everyone has had a crush at one time or another. It’s a fact of life. It’s how major rela¬ tionships get started — some¬ times. “The only time I had a crush on somebody, we went out for two and a half months. It started out as fun but ended in heartache for me,” said Do¬ reen Everett. Relationships that come from crushes don’t have to end up in heartache. Chris Ortiz had a crush on a girl and they ended up going out. “I was afraid to ask her out at first, but I did and we’re still going out,” said Chris. Another student said she had a crush on an upperclass¬ man. “I never went out with him, but we are good friends,” said the student. Sometimes the person nev- CONTEMPLATING HIS PLAN of attack, sophomore Dennis Matusiak allows his mind to wander on how to ask that special someone out.

Bryan Bodamer was in that situation. “I had a crush on a girl my own age. I didn’t go out with her because she never knew about it. I went so long without telling her that I end¬ ed up liking someone else,” he said. This often happens in the world of crushes. A person can have a different crush almost every hour. It may be confus¬ ing to their friends, but they can relate to it. They do the same thing. Life would be very boring if it weren’t for crushes. DAYDREAMS ABOUT THE “love of your life” during class can take off some pressure but can also be hazard¬ ous if the time is used carelessly. Sophomore Jennifer Bostian shows that she has the ability to daydream and keep her grades up. Sophomores 181 Pet peeves annoy sophomores Does anyone manage to get through an entire day without an annoying incident? Con¬ sidering the endless realm of irritating possibilities just waiting to happen, it is more than doubtful. Everyone faces small and crowded locker space. Sopho¬ more Phil Willis said, “When I open my locker all of my books fall on the floor.” Many students believe that little surprises are unfair and stressful. Sophomore Lara Di- mitroff said, “It really bothers me when biology teachers give me pop quizzes.” Students also get annoyed with the attendance office for sending the infamous green slips to students who are inno¬ cent. Sophomore Kelly Vin- nedge said, “It irritates me when I get called down to the office every day for not being in class.” Pet peeves will vary from student to student. Com¬ plaints echo through the hall¬ ways about teachers, waking up early, homework, short lunch hours, friends, and countless others. Although there is really not much chance for most of these prob¬ lems changing, it helps to complain a little now and then.

Having friends in the same class makes learn¬ ing easier at times. panionship. However, there’s always that one special person who’s always ready to give ad¬ vice when needed. He or she can be considered a best friend. A best friend stands by his buddy through thick or thin. Whenever the odds are against a person, a best friend will stand up for him or her no matter what the conse¬ quences. A best friend will go just about anywhere with his com¬ panion whether they want to or not. Somehow they’ll man¬ age to have a good time. Being best friends isn’t al¬ ways fun and games though. Best friends can have argu¬ ments over the stupidest things. But they always seem to recover, especially if they’ve been friends for a long time and their relationship is strong. A best friend must be trust¬ worthy and honest. No one wants a friend who tells every¬ body his friend’s secrets. Best friends usually are loy¬ al to one another. They don’t talk behind one another’s backs or make fun of each oth¬ er. Friendships are very impor¬ tant during the high school years. They make the tough times easier, and the fun times a lot more fun. High school friends may still be special fif¬ ty years from now. Friend¬ ships are meant to last.

PRACTICING HER VOCABU¬ LARY skills in Miss Carol Bangs- berg’s fourth hour Spanish class, sophomore Jennifer Long writes out a list of the new words in her notebook. Students are required to keep a note¬ book on culture, vocabulary, gram¬ mar, and practice. This helps the stu¬ dent to keep a record of what they have learned throughout the year. Some have no worries, since they know they did well, but others’ hearts fill with dread, anticipating bad grades. As students look at those white and blue papers, some begin to smile or laugh, but others groan out loud. But no matter what kind of card it is, a question that is on many of their minds is “What are my parents going to say?” LISTENING INTENTLY to the in¬ formation given by Mrs. Jan Austgen during her health class, sophomore Jamie Demmon carefully takes notes on the subject of smoking.

All of a sudden, out of no¬ where, a car appeared, coming right at the girls. “We looked to make sure that no one was coming, but the other car didn’t have its headlights on, and it was dark, so we couldn’t see it. If the car hadn’t swerved, we could have been seriously injured, especially since we didn’t have our seat- belts on,” exclaimed sopho¬ more Karin Gilles. Luckily, the other car saw them and swerved into a ditch, or else a serious accident could have occurred. The sophomore year is not only a time of fun and adven¬ ture, but also a time of danger and trouble. Sophomores tend to take a lot of risks in order to have fun. Sometimes people don’t re¬ alize the risk they are taking until disaster almost happens. Scott Hubbard and Steve Nickolls talked about a close call they had. “We were skiing up in Michigan, and we decid¬ ed to ski down the larger hill. As we went down the hill, both of us slid to a stop. As we looked down in front of us, we saw a huge crevice in the snow. If we hadn’t stopped, we would have gone down it.” Sometimes a close-call oc¬ curs when a person is doing something that they’ve done thousands of times. Matt Parker was on the swim team, and he had dove off of the starting block many times without even a small problem. One day he lacked concentra¬ tion and came very close to splitting his head open or worse, breaking his neck. “I was at swim practice and we were goofing around. I got up on the starting block, ready to dive in. I wasn’t thinking about what I was doing. I dove really high in the air, and went straight down, really low. I came incredibly close to hit¬ ting my head very hard on the bottom of the pool.” Close calls are usually not abundant, but they are unique learning experiences. Stu¬ dents learn through almost- disasters to make their lives better.

Mis¬ takenly thinking that it is still summer vacation, he starts to go back to sleep, but suddenly groans when he realizes what day it is: the first day of school. It’s bad enough that it’s the first day of school, but now it’s high school; a new building to get lost in, new classes to struggle through, and new teachers to try to please.

The new clothes are on his closet floor, and his hair is freshly cut. After stumbling into the shower, the freshman slowly wakes up under the stinging spray of the water. Going back to his room, he throws on his favorite T-shirt, jeans, and high-tops. Unearthing his notebooks, pencils, and pens, he clomps down the stairs to find something for his slightly queasy stomach. After wolfing down his breakfast and throwing his dishes into the sink, the fresh¬ man walks out of the house to meet his friends and to begin an incredible four years.

PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING fantasies Rentals provide escape hatch It’s a dreary Saturday after¬ noon. You have nothing to do. You could go to the mall or... a movie. Rent a movie? Yea, that’s what you’ll do. Rent a movie. Favorite kinds range from teen romances to horror mov¬ ies. Freshman Melissa Vieweg said, “I like to rent spies, thrillers, and comedies.” Oth¬ er students like all kinds of movies. Freshman Mike Hol¬ comb said, “I rent anything from rated G movies to rated R movies.” Some movies are favorites of students and are rented over and over again. Amy Eich said, “I just love to rent “Pretty in Pink.” And Andy Hutchison said, “My two favorites are “Termina¬ tor” and “Cobra.” Others don’t have particular favor¬ ites. After the movie is rented, you’re free to escape to your fantasies and enter another world. But whom do you share these precious moments with? Some students invite a few of their close friends over and have a film festival. Others watch rented movies with their families or just one spe¬ cial member of their family. Jennifer Zurbriggen said, “Sometimes I watch movies with friends and sometimes just with my mom.” IN SEARCH OF AN ESCAPE from the cold dreary weather, freshman Deborah Mikuta chooses to view “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” The film¬ ing of the movie, which stars Matthew Broderick, in Chicago, provides for a feeling of familiarity with the charac¬ ters and experiences in the film. Freshmen 193 M M’s satisfy hunger pains “Is anyone selling M M’s?” was often heard at the beginning of classes. This is because the candy that organi¬ zations at school sell are satis¬ fying snacks. Whether it is M M’s, Sprees, suckers, or can¬ dy bars, all give students ener¬ gy since many do not eat breakfast. Many have busy schedules and such little time that they do not get to eat meals. By selling candy, the organizations also earn money easily. Candy in school was also a problem. Many teachers did not allow eating candy in class since candy on the floor brings insects and rodents. There were also many teachers who understood the need to snack that the students had. If a per¬ son was lucky enough to be in one of these classes, they were allowed to open up their M M boxes and eat. But when did students real¬ HANDING VIRGINIA POUCH her money, Amy Eich buys her favorite snack. Students like to use the “junk food” line as an alternative. ly snack? It was during 3rd, 4th, and 5th hours that most were munching. These hours closer to lunch time were when hunger struck. While listening to a lecture or watch¬ ing a film, one may have got¬ ten the urge to reach into the pocket or purse and pull out the M M’s whether or not the teacher allowed it. Being able to buy candy in classes was an advantage for students. They found a way to fill themselves up until lunch or until they returned home, and at the same time to help some school organizations.

Much of it travels by phone. Students reminisce about their weekends after they’re all over on Sunday night. Sometimes students call to find out about homework. These calls can drift to conversations ranging anywhere from what to wear the next day or future plans. Students talk anywhere from five minutes to five hours. “I talk on the phone as much as I can,” said fresh¬ man Nicole Rickert. Parents must have heard them all when it comes to their children and the telephone. Freshman Lesli Bice said, “The excuse I use is that I have to find out how to do my home¬ work ” “I don’t have any excuses. They know that I’m on the phone. They don’t like it, but they accept it,” said Heather Taneff about her parents. Parents often resort to other methods to make sure students don’t tie up the line. Time limits range anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. “Whenever my mom tells me to get off the phone, I do,” said Eryca Wrobel. If time limits don’t work, some¬ times parents have to resort to get¬ ting call-waiting. This allows par¬ ents’ minds to rest at ease because their important calls can now come through. Students also find an ad¬ vantage in that they can discuss plans with two people in one call. A few students can feel free to go as they please with the help of an¬ swering machines. The machines enable students to feel sure that they will never miss a call. Fresh¬ man Chris Garretson said, “I don’t have an answering machine, but my parents are helpful.” Whether on the phone five minutes or five hours, every student finds the tele¬ phone necessary at some time. Keeping up on the latest gossip or making plans for the weekend, stu¬ dents find many topics to keep them talking. Excuses help to ease restless parents and to keep them off of the students’ backs about talk¬ ing time. Call-waiting and answer¬ ing machines also provide helpful services to students. PHONES AT SCHOOL buzz before, during, and after school hours. Freshman Jeff El- dridge calls home to make plans for after Teens try to dodge hated “no” You sit in the silence of your third hour class and contem¬ plate your attack. Strumming your fingers on the desk as sweat glistens on your fore¬ head, you push yourself out of the seat and amble up the aisle, fumbling with the wide variety of possible words to use. You wonder, “How can I ask this question when I’m al¬ most sure the answer is no?” As you approach the teach¬ er’s desk, your eyes meet and lock. Your whole body starts to shake and for a second, you swear you hear a growl. Wrong, it was just a stomach rumbling somewhere in the room. You heave a huge sigh of relief and continue to think, “I could ask this question and re¬ ceive the answer to my prayers or worst of all, the teacher could say ... NO.” “No,” is a word expressing the negative of an alternative choice or possibility, is fre¬ quently heard in a teen’s ears. “Dad, can I borrow the car?” — No. “Jen, would you like to go out this weekend?” — No. After awhile, this becomes one of the most resented words in the English language. When approaching a situa¬ tion where there is a possibil¬ ity of rejection, freshman Ka¬ tie Reynolds suggested “pre¬ planning your thoughts and manipulating them to your advantage.” Others like Karen Charters use the ever so popular tactic- flattery. “I speak in a really nice voice and say ‘please’ a lot.

After the second bell and the trivial task of taking attendance and marking tardies, class begins. In each hour there is homework to collect, papers to return, lectures to give, and “Quiet, please!” warn¬ ings to repeat. No day can be planned to perfection. Each class has its own personality and surprises. Students and other professionals don’t realize the work of the teaching the essence of teaching profession. Besides all that happens in the classroom, people can’t guess how many hours go into preparation for a day in front of a Spain - class.

Donald Barman, Member; Shirley Bryan, Secretary; John Kopack, President; Janet Katich, Vice Presi¬ dent; Robert Rees, Member. When Dr. Charles Skurka came to Crown Point as the new superintendent, he had to make many educated guesses as to what was going to hap¬ pen on the local school scene. Dr. George Vrabel and Mr. Lyle Bonnell were also new to the school system. Together, the new administrators began to make things happen, work¬ ing to promote better policies and communication with stu¬ dents, faculty, and the com¬ munity. One significant happening was the addition of computers to the school system. “We hope to some day have com¬ puters in every classroom. This is a plus to education through computer literacy,” said Dr. Skurka. Mr. Steven Bazin, princi¬ pal; Mr. Larry Shrader and Mr. Robert Onda, assistant principals, worked daily to provide a safe and sound edu¬ cational environment for teachers and students. When graduation came and the 1987-1988 school year had been tucked away in the an¬ nals of memory, administra¬ tors could look back on what had happened and use this knowledge to formulate plans for the upcoming year.

Administration 203 Along the way Teachers try many walks of life Contrary to the common belief of students, teachers haven’t spent their entire lives in classrooms. Many held out¬ side jobs to aid in financing their college educations or to experience other career op¬ tions. Walking through aisle after aisle of clothing searching for the perfect outfit may seem like a pleasant Saturday after¬ noon to some. To others, it is a full-time job. As a clothing buyer at a department store, Mr. David Rosenbaum, Ger¬ man teacher, had the respon¬ sibility of choosing the clothes that consumers would want to purchase. “One day the entire Hungarian national hockey team came in to purchase Le¬ vis blue jeans. It was my job to CONTEMPLATING THE COR¬ RECT response, Mr. David Rosen¬ baum, German teacher, answers one of his student’s questions. Through¬ out the year Mr. Rosenbaum also makes sure word pronunciation is cor¬ rect. fit them all.” Mrs. Linda Pera also re¬ layed her college experiences in a department store. “One day a woman brought in a skirt that was suspected of be¬ ing stolen in to return. I had to call security and have the situ¬ ation investigated.” Some teachers began their careers in other service-relat¬ ed fields. “As a secretary for a twenty-eight bed hospital, I was able to watch deliveries and operations. Once I helped care for several hundred peo¬ ple in a mass food poisoning at a nearby state park,” said Mrs. Donna Moser, English teach¬ er. Mrs. Julia Chary, French teacher, worked at a state park for a time. “As a life guard, my job included cleaning the showers and washrooms at the park. To this day I still hate the smell of Pinesol.” Some teachers had comfort¬ able office chairs while others had the hard work of using a shovel. Mr. Richard Gordon, English teacher, commented, “I worked in the sewers under the streets of East Chicago,” Mr. Marion Kellum, drama teacher, also worked outside digging ditches for NIPSCO. Some teachers had to put in their service in the military. Although some men were able to remain in the United States, others had to serve their time in countries over seas. Some learned to speak the foreign language while others tried not to under¬ stand. Mr. Hal Oppenhuis, health teacher, said, “I would buy a third-class railroad tick¬ et and then sit in a first-class seat. The conductor would try to explain, but I would pretend that I didn’t understand the language.” Some teachers always knew what career they wanted to pursue. Others had to test their interests in other areas of work. From offices to sew¬ ers, some teachers tried their skills in every possible job be¬ fore settling into their career. For others, circumstances such as military service played roles in shaping their lives. No matter what road they took to arrive at their profession, teachers work to prepare their students for their own careers. IN THE LIBRARY, looking for infor¬ mation can be hard and sometimes a student has to refer to a teacher for help. Junior William Stanko asks Ms. Marilee Thanholdt how he should proceed with his “practice” term pa¬ per. Faculty 205 inspirations Experiences shape career choices With all of the exciting, high-paying careers in the world today, many students wonder why someone would want to become a teacher. Reasons vary for all who have chosen to pursue the teaching field as their career. “I decided to become a teach¬ er while serving in the Vietnam War. I believe that teaching is one of the most important jobs i n the world. The opportunity to transmit the knowledge of the world is exciting,” ex¬ plained Mr. Jerry Holcomb, so¬ cial studies teacher. Many teachers were in¬ spired early in their lives by their own teachers. Mrs. Christine Jeftich, computer teacher, said, “I always want¬ ed to be a teacher — even as a kid. However, real inspiration came from one of my junior college teachers.” Mr. Randall Hutchison, math teacher, felt that his childhood affected his career choice. “I must have respected my teachers a lot because I never imagined myself doing anything but teaching,” he said. The example set by her high school teachers also influ¬ enced Mrs. Nancy May, math teacher. “I admired many of my high school teachers, espe¬ cially my math teacher,” she said. All of the small details of a day can lead to frustrations. “Once in a while during an es¬ pecially hectic day when I have zillions of papers to grade, I regret my decision. Overall, though, I am satisfied with my choice of career,” said Mrs. May. Early inspirations and varying circumstances led teachers to choose their ca¬ reers. The satisfaction of knowing that they play a role in forming the futures of stu¬ dents is the biggest reward for those who have dedicated their lives to teaching. SPANISH TEACHER Mrs. Lucille Pruitt has a conversation during class with seniors Jennifer Malinich and Marilyn Verde. The conversation in¬ cluded questions on a personal inter¬ est project.

A mouse had emerged from the projector and was scurrying across the floor,” said Mrs. Janelle Haack. The surprise appearance of a mouse in the classroom star¬ tled not only the teacher but the students as well. Some¬ times teachers have strange things happen to the class¬ room itself. “I had returned to my classroom after lunch,” said Mr. Jerry Holcomb, “when I got there everything in the classroom was upside- IN COMPUTER APPLICATIONS CLASS, Mrs. Christine Jeftich helps senior Tracy Luekens.

Although this seems like it would be easy for teachers, the strangest things can happen in a simple speech. “I was just getting up from my desk to lecture, when my pants got caught on a corner of the desk and ripped! How embarrass¬ ing!” said Mr. Chuck Smoljan. Talk, talk, talk. On and on. That’s all teachers seem to do, but how easy is it without teeth? “I was in the middle of a government lecture when my partial plate of false teeth fell out,” said Mr. Everett Bal- FIRST HOUR CLASS, Room B112, is the setting for Mrs. Anne Sikora’s Keyboarding 3 class.

Everyday is a new challenge with new surprises to encounter. DURING FOOTBALL PRACTICE, Coach Gregory Mucha talks to senior John Young. For the Bulldogs to be able to run the kickoff return, Mr. Mucha must inform them of the de¬ tails of the play. Faculty 209 PERFORMING artists enliven audiences Walking through the hallway, an out¬ sider might be surprised to see students in matching concert T-shirts. With concerts all year long, students enjoyed seeing their favorite bands performing. Some groups that made it big were INXS with “Need You Tonight,” and U2 with “With or Without You.” “U2’s songs have meaning. They sing about the trou¬ ble in the world, but they don’t preach,” said junior Joe Rocchio. George Michael, Belinda Carlisle, and other well-known singers came back with many new songs. New artists like Richard Marx appeared. Sophomore Danielle Holloway said, “Richard Marx is a modern Elvis. He can really ‘pull’ the crowd into his perfor¬ mance. He’s an excellent singer and he’s got looks too!” PLANNING THE NEXT MOVE in her campaign for junior class secretary, sophomore Kimberly Se- piol wears her INXS T-shirt. After major concerts performed in the area, groups of students wore sou¬ venir shirts that they had purchased as proof of attendance. CINEMA FAVORITES attract flocks of students to theatres to see hits Over the past 18 years, movies have progressed from the 1979 box office hit “Star Wars” to “Dirty Dancing,” “Three Men and a Baby,” and “Good Morning, Vietnam.” The contents of hit movies covered a wide variety of topics. From the romantic “Dirty Dancing” set in the early 1960’s at a family summer retreat to “Three Men and a Baby,” a modern comedy about three bachelors’ attempts to care for an infant left on their doorstep, the hits show that the public enjoys variety in what they pay to see. With the success of “Good Morning Vietnam,” the public proved that they were ready for a serious comedy about the war. Although these hits did well at the box office, many recent movies didn’t have the same success. Television and rental movies are becoming more and more pop¬ ular. Many people prefer to sit at home and watch television for free or rent a video for a few dollars, rather than spend five dollars to see a movie. Many people de¬ cide to wait until the movie comes out on video so that it won’t cost so much to view. WITH THE COST OF MOVIES rising, the Crown Theater provides a convenient location to see films at a reasonable price. Junior Derek Meinhard and senior Lisa Gertz purchase their tickets at the ticket window. TECHNOLOGY advances quality of music In recent years, the sale of compact discs and disc players has revolutionized the sound of music. Even though compact discs are more expensive than cassettes and albums, the market for discs is in¬ creasing. Among the disadvantages of buying compact discs are the prices which are higher than those of other types of music. Compact discs cost an average of fifteen dollars while cassettes cost nine and al¬ bums eight. Also discs cannot be copied or recorded on as cassettes can. Compact discs need to be handled with care to avoid damage and are more difficult to transport than cassettes. Compact discs also have some advan¬ tages. They are easy to find since almost every store has a good supply of them. Other advantages are that they last long¬ er than cassettes and cannot be scratched easily like record albums. Finally the big¬ gest advantage is that they have better sound quality than cassettes and albums. Overall, the advantages of compact discs have influenced many kids to buy them. Some kids buy them for the way they look, some because all their friends buy them, or some for the simple reason that they are the newest piece of electron¬ ic equipment on the market. Instead of carrying a Walkman to school, the kids are starting to carry the discman to school to listen to their favorite music. 210 Mini Mag BEHAVE YOURSELF!’ difficult command for those under 21 to follow “You are too young.” “I never was able to do that when I was your age!” “Grow up and act your age!” “Now come on, you are too old for that stuff.” Students hear comments like these all day long. They are too old to get a lollipop at the drive-thru at the bank, but they are too young to run for president. Under 21 is a tough age full of contradictions. But at the same time, teenagers can do many stupid things that their parents can’t get away with. For example, they can go to Jewel in the middle of the night and purchase an assortment of toilet pa¬ per, and the clerk basically has a good The First Amendment of the Constitu¬ tion of the United States gives Americans the right to freedom of the press. Ques¬ tion arose over the limits of the amend¬ ment as the Supreme Court decided with a 5-3 vote that a high school principal had the right to approve what material a school newspaper printed without violat¬ ing the students’ rights. The issue began when students in a journalism class at Hazelwood East High School in Missouri prepared stories on DISCUSSING THEIR VIEWS with a Post Tri¬ bune reporter, junior newspaper editorial board members Rena Head and Jennifer O’Brien voice their opinions about the Supreme Court ruling con¬ cerning student press rights. idea of what they’re scheming to do. But if their parents did this, the Jewel em¬ ployees might wonder what mature adults are planning to do to some unsuspecting victims under the cover of darkness. Being under 21 really isn’t so bad. Many people would say that “these are the best years of your life.” AWARE THAT CATCHING A RIDE can be trou¬ blesome, senior Beth Gill and junior Matthew Whi¬ taker get ready to begin the day by arriving by chari¬ ot, otherwise known as the family vehicle.

The teacher submitted proofs of the newspaper to the principal for his review before the printed paper came out. When the principal read the paper, he objected to the two articles. Student views vary on the issue of cen¬ sorship. Senior Inklings’ staffer John Kobza agreed with the Supreme Court. Junior reporter Jennifer O’Brien sees the decision as a violation of her rights. “If a student reporter follows responsible jour¬ nalism, he should have the same rights as an adult reporter to state the facts of a story in print.” NAME GAME showing trends in popularity From the earliest gurgle to the final breath of life, a name always remains with a person. With all of the influences that affect people, it is no wonder that people sub¬ consciously pick up stereotypes of com¬ mon names. Television characters from Betty of the early “Father Knows Best” series to David of the current “Moon¬ lighting” series formed stereotypes that viewers unknowingly began to expect upon hearing the name. When introduced to a new acquaint¬ ance, people search for some source of familiarity to eliminate the uncertainty of the new relationship. Knowing little about the person, people expect the char¬ acteristics attached to the name. The popularity of names has changed over the years as new occurences affect society. While some names remain popu¬ lar only for a brief period, others have remained over time. Names such as Sarah, John, Joseph, and James have held their popularity for over a hundred years. A tally reveals the current most popular names in the school. TOP TEN NAMES GIRLS BOYS Jennifer 53 Michael 60 Christine 43 John 41 Michelle 34 Christopher 37 Tracy 25 Rob 31 Lori 25 David 29 Amy 19 James 28 Julie 19 Brian 28 Cathy 18 Mark 25 Kelly 18 Jeffery 24 Kimberly 15 Steven 23 Heather 15 William 23 Angela 15 Thomas 22 Melissa 15 Lisa 12 CARE IN COVERAGE necessary for staff to avoid censorship says Court Mini Mag 211 OLD DUTIES decrease with computer aid Fingercounting, the abacus, and the slide rule were early computing devices, but the computer has replaced them all. The computer performs various func¬ tions from computing to word processing to video games. Not only have computers become popular and useful for personal and business use, but also within the school systems computers have rapidly increased. With the use of computers, old tasks of filing report cards and scheduling classes by hand have become outdated. The high school enlarged its curricu¬ lum in 1984 to include computer applica¬ tions, computer literacy, and program¬ ming 1 and 2 classes. The classes offer students word processing, database, and spreadsheet applications. The computers within the school include Apple HE and IIGS, and Tandy 1000, and Mac 512, Plus, and SE. All of the departments, but especially the library, audio visual, for¬ eign language, home economics, and sci- Southlake Mall, a place with numerous stores carrying items ranging from soft, cuddly puppies to psychedelic lamps, is a favorite hangout and shopping place of most CPHS students. While the mall is popular all year long, certain holidays and social occasions in¬ crease crowds that gather there. It’s also rather busy when teens can’t find any¬ thing else to do and just want to hangout. A typical day may consist of starting out on a Saturday afternoon with a little lunch during a quick stop at Burger King, Orange Julius, York Steakhouse, or Little Caesar’s. Then it’s on to the never-ending shopping spree. Most of the time, stu¬ dents shop for in-style clothes, top-10 tapes or compact-discs, and other miscel¬ laneous items. After a few hours of walk¬ ing the entire mall and spending all that hard earned money, it’s time to go home. Another day may consist of not shop¬ ping, but hanging out. Paying attention to the opposite sex while making the rounds of the giant business is another popular pastime. Many teens find it to be a great way to meet new people. Around holidays, especially Christmas, the mall becomes swamped with anxious holiday shoppers. Lines are tremendously ence departments have expanded the use of computers for the past four years. Re¬ cently, the art, business and computer, journalism, mathematics, English and physical education departments have grown with the addition of new computer aid. The students have acquired a sense of ease by practicing with drills, games, and simulations. The Pascal programming language is also taught to give high school students broader thinking skills. USING THE APPLE-MACINTOSH COMPUT¬ ERS, junior Christine Pepa masters the Mac-Draw program in Mr. John Bare’s graphics class. Plan¬ ning layouts is a big part of this class, and the com¬ puter expedites this process. long, people are fed up with the monetary emphasis on Christmas, the checkers are a little crabby, but most still manage to survive a day at the mall. That’s exactly what it is — a survival trip. Even though minutes, hours, and days are spent in search of holiday treasures, most people tend to think it is worth all the hassle. Another hustle and bustle of activity is prom season. Many pairs of eyes glance at glamorous dresses made of satin, lace, and taffeta. Others search for accessories, such as silky long gloves, high heeled pumps, the infamous garter, and rhine¬ stone or pearl jewelry. The stores that carry these items, like Ups Downs, Su¬ sie’s Casuals, and Gantos, are usually packed with high school girls in search of the “perfect” outfit. All in all, the mall is viewed as both a shopping center and a hang-out. It pro¬ vides a place of free entertainment be¬ tween the hours of ten in the morning till nine in the evening. It gives people a vari¬ ety of stores to shop in, several restau¬ rants to eat in, and a place to see people. It provides an interesting atmosphere for everyone, but especially high school stu¬ dents. A LA CARTE offers tasty alternatives “I felt the a la carte line would take care of the lunchroom doldrums,” said Mike Velasco, one of the students who enjoyed the a la carte lunch line. The idea was suggested by junior Mike Velasco and se¬ nior Rick Haber to improve the selection of the cafeteria food. The line features deli sandwiches, bulldog fries, and var¬ ious a la carte dishes. Other cafeteria im¬ provements this year included a daily sal¬ ad bar and occasional breakfast meals. AS HUNGER SETS IN, junior Todd Carey pre¬ pares his meal in the salad bar line. Students have four options: salad bar, regular line, the new a la carte line, or the junk food line. This gives students more variety for lunch. MALL MANIA CRAZE strikes teens searching for entertainment and fun 212 Mini Mag FUNDRAISING SALES satisfy club needs, students appetites and hearts Sales boomed and the money rolled in with two of the most profitable fund¬ raisers. These fundraisers were popular because they involved the sale of two of the students’ favorite things: candy and carnations. Students buy carnations to show friends and teachers that they admire or want to get to know them. Students send WITH FLOWER DECOR, senior Scott McLaugh¬ lin sorts out St. Patrick’s Day carnation cards. The Inklings ’ staff hosts a carnation sale to students for raising money to buy new computers and to contin¬ ue to print their publication. carnations to friends, teachers, and boy girl friends. Junior Stacey Boyer com¬ mented, “I only send carnations to close friends.” The candy sales offer a sweet, inexpen¬ sive way to satisfy hunger. Since students are always hungry, candy sales provided an easy way for clubs to make money. M M’s, Snickers, Gummi-bears, Sprees, and Lifesaver lollipops were among the main attractions. Both fundraisers gave students and club advantages. Students loved the can¬ dy and carnations, and clubs used the money for projects to help their members. EVERYDAY REALITY contradicts fantasies of ideal teachers, students Many students and teachers hope for an ideal situation in the class¬ room. What do our teachers hope for? What do the students hope for? Many teachers hope to get stu¬ dents who are attentive, prompt, hard working, creative, and consid¬ erate. Teachers often worry about getting students who are lazy, tardy, rude, inattentive, and talkative. Mrs. Ruth Ann Price, said that a perfect student was “nonexistent!” (and rightfully so.) Students hope for teachers who are interesting, understanding, in¬ telligent, easygoing, and fair. Fresh¬ man Jennifer Zurbriggen comment¬ ed, “An ideal teacher makes class fun, describes lessons in an under¬ standing way, and doesn’t give much homework. An ideal teacher is one who doesn’t give Monday tests and gives breaks once in a while or “free-days”. Most teachers do not allow nap time, but having time to finish other work or just taking a break from the day helps break the monotony of classes. Sometimes a break is needed from classes like calculus or chemis¬ try. Some students search for pres¬ sure-free classes. Senior Sarah Demmon said, “An ideal teacher re¬ lates the material to the class in an understandable manner, has a sense of humor, and creates an atmo¬ sphere of relaxation and no pres¬ sure.” POINTING OUT MISTAKES, Mrs. Nancy May explains to senior Jamie Bare a way of correcting her derivative problem in calculus class. Calculus is an advanced math class which teaches abstract thinking. ISTEP TESTS measure levels of progress Everyday, students face the dreary bur¬ den of tests, tests, and more tests. In March, some students faced a fresh chal¬ lenge in a state-mandated test. All fresh¬ men and juniors participated in taking the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educa¬ tion Progress (ISTEP) test; the results determine the levels of achievement of students. While ISTEP’s main purpose is to improve the educational opportunities of high school students, most students saw it as a needed break from their every¬ day schedules. For three days the stu¬ dents demonstrated their knowledge of data gathering, language arts, math- study skills, cognitive skills, and writing. Junior Jennifer O’Connor said, “I liked the idea of getting out of class for three to four hours even if it was for another test.” Freshman Angie Pappas said, “It was nice to get a break from the classes I go to everyday.” LOOKING UP HIS SCHEDULE TIME, freshman Chris Christian takes the first step in preparing for ISTEP testing. ISTEP tests are used to determine the levels of achievement of students in the school system. Mini Mag 213 PROBLEMS lead to IMPACT help group In the world, complex problems arise. With these problems, support and pre¬ vention groups are needed. These groups deal with social problems that are exper¬ ienced by teenagers. Within the school, such helpful groups are beginning to grow and develop. IMPACT, a program directly designed for the interaction of students and school personnel, deals with drug and alcohol use and abuse and teenage suicide. IM¬ PACT educates students, parents, school board, administration, faculty, and the community in an effort to create a suc¬ cessful program. The program is modeled after Our Lady of Mercy’s IMPACT program and staff. Nine teachers and the school nurse have been trained and educated by the adolescent care unit of the hospital. Con¬ tinuous consultation and awareness ses¬ sions provide the teachers to form an ef¬ fective core team to counsel students. This program also provides for guest speakers who discuss ways of coping with drug, alcohol, and suicide problems at IMPACT meetings after school. SPEAKING AT AN IMPACT SESSIONS, Mrs. Phyllis Wayco talks with Mr. Paul V. Kovacevich, a guest speaker. Mr. Kovacevich will work with IM¬ PACT in helping students to cope with problems such as drug or alcohol abuse and suicide. ELECTION DAY GIVES anxious seniors privilege to vote in May primaries Eighteen year olds faced a new re¬ sponsibility: voting. Seniors who are eighteen and juniors who will be eighteen before November 18, 1988 were eligible to vote, and many of them registered throughout the year. Senior Michael Gapen said, “I was nervous because voting was a new experience. Also, I was con¬ fused because there were so many choices.” After placing third at the Iowa caucuses, vice-president George Bush made an impressive comeback and had the Republican party nomination before the primary even reached Indiana. However, minister Pat Robertson and veteran Bob Dole were still on the ticket. Michael Dukakis led the Demo¬ crats with Jesse Jackson following closely. Thirty-nine-year-old Albert Gore was third. To first-time voters, voting was an anxiously awaited thrill. Senior Tracy Roller said, “I walked in the voting booth smiling and excited while everyone else acted like it was no big deal.” ENTERING THE CPHS VOTING POLL, senior Arthur Gross prepares himself to vote in the May primaries. Many seniors this year had their first chance to actually participate in this year’s presidential election. SUN-KISSED look provides healthy glow Many people think that the sun-kissed look is healthy and attractive. In the past a person would have to go to an exotic vacation or wait until summer to obtain this look. This is not so since the tanning bed craze arrived. Tanning salons pro¬ duce rays which give a person the same tan as the sun. Although girls tend to go to tanning beds more, some guys like the bronzed look too. According to the area salons, appoint¬ ments fill up most prior to school dances and before spring break. Many of the sa¬ lons run special package deals at this time also. OBTAINING THE SUN-KISSED LOOK, senior Tracy Koval disinfects the tanning bed at Punch and Judy’s Daycare Center before her session be¬ gins. Many students use artificial sunning before vacations and school dances to give their skin a healthy glow. 214 Mini Mag SUMMER ACTIVITIES fire up students for a vacation enriched with fun EARNING HARD-WORKING DOLLARS, senior Jane Wirtz works at a food concession stand at the Lake County Fair. The fair provided some teens with short summer jobs for a six-day duration in TRADITIONS make family holidays merry Holidays have many dreaming about rest and relaxation. Not all students, though, were fortunate enough to utilize their time off from school for resting pur¬ poses. “My spring break was spent working eight hours a day at McDonalds,” said junior Patricia Blaney. Others were lucky enough to take ad¬ vantage of their free time and go on a vacation. “At Christmas my family and I went on a three-day cruise to Nassau, one of the Virgin Islands. Even though Nas¬ sau didn’t seem much like Christmas without snow, I really enjoyed the trip to the island and its warm weather,” said sophomore Thalia Goerges. Nevertheless, many students spent their holidays in the traditional manner at home with family and friends. “During the holidays my family and friends got together at my house. We had dinner, talked, and did things together as a fam¬ ily,” said junior Bridget O’Brien. Holidays were times for good cheer and they enabled many to enjoy memorable moments with family and friends. Summer burst into an array of colorful activities as students trooped out of school for summer vacation. The local community, alone, provided such activi¬ ties as the Fourth of July parade and the annual County Fair which give people the opportunity to gather and to socialize. At the same time, students chose to keep with the many out-of-town summer activities, such as beach parties, Italian Fest and the Greek Fest held annually in Merrillville. Others traveled to Great America for a day of fast rides and good food. Some even ventured up to Chicago to visit zoos, museums, restaurants, and concerts. By far, though, the most popular thing students did was to go on vacation. “I go on vacation in Indianapolis every year. I meet with my friends, and go to the pool and out for a movie or dinner. In the even¬ ing we take a walk through the streets of downtown Indianapolis,” said junior Mi¬ chelle Murphy. “Last summer, I went to Kentucky Lake for two and a half weeks with my family and a friend. We spent our time swimming, water-skiing, and tubing down the river. We also spent a lot of time sun bathing,” said junior Kathleen Bar¬ ney. Mr. Alfred Gruber, teacher and friend, passed away after a two-year battle with cancer on June 25,1987. He began teaching here in 1959 and was the Social Studies Department chairman for many years. In memory of Mr. Gruber and his love for his profession, the A1 Gruber Senior Social Studies Award will now grace the department of¬ fice. The first recipient of the newly named award was Ann Pearman. In addition, Mrs. Joanna Gruber, his wife, has donated $100 to be pre¬ sented to the recipient each year. Through this award, Mr. Gruber’s concern and love for the education of Crown Point’s youth lives on. “During our vacation, my entire family and I went mountain climbing up Pikes Peak in Colorado and we sledded down the Alpine side. It was something differ¬ ent, but it was a neat experience,” said junior Kristin Linsley. But who says that the fun has to begin only when you reach your destination? Junior Heidi Giammarese said, “I find vacationing with my friends to be a lot of fun. The most interesting part is the car ride down to Florida because you meet and see so many new people and places as you’re driving by.” Some found that one can have just as much fun relaxing close to home. “I get together with my friends and we go to the beach. We spend most of the day laying out and meeting new people,” said junior Cynthia Farias. Others found summer the ideal time to work on perfecting their skills in sports. Junior Mike Bauner said, “I play Legion baseball most of the summer and practice playing football and basketball. I also go out a lot with my friends.” All in all, students have no trouble seeking out ways to enjoy themselves to their fullest, indulging in vacations, par¬ ties, and beaches with family and friends.

It’s impossible for so many strange things to happen in one lifetime.” Tracy Luekens, senior “Magnum P.I., because Magnum is tough, drives a nice car, and reminds me of myself.” Joseph Kiger, junior 4 “The Twilight Zone, because I think it’s educational and stimulating. Basically because I’m nuts.” Millie Tanaskoski, senior “The Wonder Years, because it shows how different everything was in the sixties, and it amazes me how fast things change.” Megann Lesnick, sophomore “Moonlighting, because Bruce Willis is funny while Cybill Shephard just plain looks good.” Matthew Monroe, junior Index 253 Taking notes on the philosophy of John Locke, senior Lisa Gertz finds a comfortable spot in senior English class.

Britton ( Index 255As the year came to a close, the guessing ended. Students had experienced the best and worst that the year had to offer. From the opening kickoff of football season to the last final in June, students realized that what had happened was now a memory. In the begin¬ ning, they never could have guessed what was to come as they anticipated the future. CROWN POINT M ' CH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ LIVES revolve around the school. In its halls they experience the surprising variety of high school activities, work, excitement, and pain. KEEPING UP ON WHAT happens is an important part of a teenager’s life. Whether talking to friends, passing notes between classes, or talking on the ever-popular telephone, news trav¬ els fast through networks of students. Sophomore Laurie Brawley uses the phone in the vending area. FULL-HOUSE CROWDS encour¬ aged the Bulldogs on to victory regu¬ larly throughout the season. 256 Closing
