With the superb game plan ot head coach Bill Dor- ulla, and assistant coaches Jeff Kincaid and Doug Stanford, the Eagles pulled off their first home- coming victory in eight years when they defeated the North Newton Spartans by a score of 28 to o. Ron Lewis set the pace for the Eagles early in the first quarter. He scored the first points of the game with a sixteen yard run and a successful touchdown. Not to be left out, John Masson caught an eighteen yard touch- down pass from quarterback Larry Chambers, giving the Eagles a 12 to o lead over their homecoming rivals. With the help of junior Raul Santos and his successful 4 yard touchdown run, the Eagles left the field at half-time with a solid lead of 18 to o over the Spartans. The Eagles came out just as strong in the sec- ond half. Raul Santos brought the Eagles out of half HOMECO ® ® ® ® our wijijwu time with a 15- yard touchdown run. Freshman Alex Costa did his part for the Eagles with an extra point kick and a field goal late in the fourth quarter, giving the Eagles their final score ot 28 to o over the Spartans. Finally, a home- coming to remem- ber for seniors, and a taste of victory for future Edison varsity football players. Larry Chambers has no option but to run.

ALMOST ANYTHING GOES SPIRIT WEEK This years spirit week compet- ition was very in- teresting and amus- ing. Many students participated and the whole week went rather well. Seniors placed first, Fresh- men second, Sopho- mores third, and last but not least the Juniors. The spirit week days were: Monday- nerd day, Tuesday- T.V. character day, Wed- nesday- 5o ' s day, Thursday- Toga day and, Friday- Red and Black day. Lisa and Mike are a hip couple. Brian Ward, Mike Halkitis, Jeff Mitchell and Joey Fazekas are some of the school ' s studs . OOK CYNTHIA T The 1988-89 Edisonian Is a living tribute to the memory of Cynthia West Espie. Her concern and her spirit will never be for- gotten by the many who knew and loved her... 1988-89 marked tiie filial year for Mrs. Helen Korpak as principal of Edison Jr. Sr. High School.

Smoking v as major issue brought up at Edison High School this year. Edison ' s student council and honor society, in assosiation with the American Cancer Society, participated in this year ' s Great American Smokeout which took place on Thursday, November 17. Organized by student council spon- sor Mr. Chuck Krieger and president Mike HrJkitis, this one day ban of smoking with- in the school building proved to be quite successful. Posters and signs protesting cigarettes were put up throughout the building. T-shirts which had been des- igned by French teacher Micheal Dobrich had been printed and passed out prior to the smokeout. Not everyone approved of this protest, however. Students tore down and defaced the posters, and many of the t-shirts were worn in sarcasm. There was much tension between teachers on this matter also. Many thought of it as an infringement of their rights. The goal of the student council and honor society was to ban smoking from all Lake Stat- ion schools for good. They had not fully accomplished their goal but they did manage to get designated smoking areas for teachers. This issue has not yet been resolved. But, if the smoke does seem to clear the air then that ' s for the better. But if not next year you may see teachers ducking into the bath rooms for a quick smoke.

The Honor Society is sponsored by Mr. Jerry Wilson. To be in the Honor Society you must have a B average or higher and good citizenship. The faculty judges the nominees for the Honor Society. Some of the nominees do not make Honor Society because of their citizenship or other qualities. To be in Honor Society is a great achievement as well as a great attribution. There are 14 induct- ees this year. They are eligible for Honor Society in the middle of their Sophomore year up until they graduate. The Honor Society is an excell- ent organization and something to be proud to be a part of.

For a Senior to participate in DECA each must have a part-time job and had participated in DECA the previous year. Juniors however, are a different story. These students learn the basics of market- ing and prepare for their Senior DECA year. For instance, they com- pete in District Com- petition and perhaps go on to state if qualified. From state the lucky few go on to the Na- tional Competition. This year the National Competition was held in Orlando, Florida. Mike Halkitis and Mel- issa (soup) Campbell qualified for their written manuals and Eric Brett for his diligent studies of general marketing. NEWSPAPER STAFF Saffrahn computer. Typist Vicky works on the Top to bottom: Dewey Howell, Mr. Michael Dobrich (cartoonist), Mina Osakabe, Kelly Thorne, Shawn Hoekstra, Maria Halkitis, Vicky Saffrahn, Lisa Vargas. Kelly and Tina discuss a story. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. As the say- ing goes, and the Eagle Feathers news- paper staff is a per- fect example of this. With a unique com- bination of personal- ities the stories are deffinately interesting. First there is the Editor Duke How- ell a straight ' A ' stu- dent and class Validic- torian. Next is Asst. Editor Kelly Thorne Duke ' s girlfriend and an all around happy- go lucky girl. Then there ' s Vicky Saff- rahn known for her high heeled boots and loud oppinions. On features and visuals is Shawn Hoekstra an excessive dreamer. Of course there ' s Robert McCafferty on sports, an all around athlete with a wicked personality. Last but deffinately not least there ' s the Reporters. Scott Tolliver a rebelious skinhead, Mina Osa- kabe a foriegn ex- change student from Japan, and Lisa Var- gas a fun-loving goof -off. With all these personalities the paper works out great. It seems to have a cor- ner on every angle. That is exactly what is needed to write stories, make dead- lines, and do layouts. Newspaper takes alot of time, work, and energy to produce and the Eagle Feath- ers staff have shown they have exactly what it takes.

Debbie, Candy, Erika, and Lisa work hard on meeting the deadline. The yearbook got off to a bad start this year. Last year, the whole staff except Maria were new, and had to get used to the new teacher, Miss West. With her death this past summer, we found ourselves in the same position. Get- ting used to a new teacher. We finally broke out of our rut during the second semester, and flew into gear. Here ' s what some of the staff had to say: Tom: Working on the staff this year was different, but I would not trade it for the world. Vicky: OUR FAMILY IS BACK!! Erika: Well, It ' s been a real . . . experience! Keith: It was the most relaxing class I had. (except around deadlines.) The staff takes a break to pose for the camera.

Principal to take some time off Korpak is retiring after 30 years at Lake Station By Stew T. Cotltns Correspondent Helen Korpak, principal of Edi- son Junior-Senior High School, is looking forward to traveling and spending more time with her grandchildren. After 30 years with Lake Station Community Schools, she has earned some time off. The principal, who will retire at the end of this school year, has spent all but two years of her ca- reer at Lake Station. For two years, she taught In Gary, then, in 1959, she began teaching health and physical edu- cation to eighth- and ninth-graders In Lake Station. She also has taught English and civics at Lake Station, and eventu- ally became the assistant principal of the junior high school. A year later, she was the princi- pal there, a position she held for 10 ears before becoming principal of oth the junior and senior high schools. I look back on the 32 years in education with a lot of very fond memories, Korpak said, and add- ed, ‘Tve really enjoyed my years in Lake Station, That ' s evident by the time I ' ve put in here. People are friendly, receptive, cooperative with the schools. It ' s been a real pleasure. The principal grew up in a home in which the value of education was continually stressed. Both her father, Jesse Burge, and her grand- father, Virgil Burge, made sure all the youngsters concentrated on their studies and attended college. My dad insisted. We didn ' t have any choice, she said. One big change she feels has oc- curred over the years is that peo- ple used to value an education more than they do now. The stu- dents haven’t changed a great deal, she said, adding, Tve enjoyed working with them.” Her husband, Frank, already is retired from his job in the mainte- nance department with the School City of Hobart.

Week, the Edison High School Seniors took part in Government Day. The purpose of this day was to let the selected Seniors learn how the government functions. These Seniors needed a petition signed by stu- dents to get elected for an office. After being nominated, the Seniors voted during their gov- ernment class. Govern- ment Day has been a tradition at Edison High School for approximately ten years. This year ' s Govern- ment Day was held on Thursday, April 6, 1989. The selected students left school at 8:30 am to talk with city offic- ials. While there thev received a tour of Lake Station ' s City Hall and Maintenance Department. After this, the students had a luncheon with the administration. Later that day they held a council meeting. In this meeting they passed an ordinance or resolution. Thus ending the Govern- ment Days activities. The participating stu- dents were as follows: Principal-Josue Santiago Asst. Principal-Jamie Taylor Supt. of Schools-Mike Halkitis Asst. Supt. of Schools- Audreta Dillard Mayor-Joe Stone Clerk Treasurer-Kirn Williams City Attorney-Julie Via Council Attorney-Leslie Hein Chief of Police-Mark Adkins Fire Chief-Trish Mich- aels Director of Public Works-Robert McCaf- ferty Director of E.M.T.- John Masson City Judge -Cyndi Padron City Council- Lisa Crawford, Sunni Rossi, Melissa Campbell, Adrain Jenkins, Joe Fazekas, Heather Cochran, Gina Par- ker.

He was sharpening a pocket knife last fall when the knife slipped, Instinctiv- ely, he tried to catch it between his legs. The blade punctured one leg, cutting what Clark describes as “a hole the size of a dime” in a vein. He says he almost died. And while recov- ering, he missed several weeks of school. When he came back, he started work on the canoe again, pressing ahead slow- ly. Finishing the project by year’s end seemed impossible, but then some of Clark’s friends got involved. “He got a lot of help from the other fellas,” Koontz says. “The last month, a bunch of them got involved with it. When Jimmy was working by himself, (putting in a cedar) strip or two a day would be a real good day. But the bunch of them could do six or seven strips a day. That got Jimmy going again.” Koontz calls the project “the biggest, most unique I’ve ever seen.” The fellows who helped include Jason Hisick, John Williamson, Stanley Weliczko, Troy Flick, Dan Alexander.

We were prob- ably all worried about what to wear, what to say, and how to act. The big moment came. Either you got in the car to pick up your date, or you waited anxiously for your date to arrive! What were those last thoughts as you drove off together? Then you turn the corner and there it was the movie theater. At least you figure since not much was said on the way there, you ' ll have some- thing to talk about on the way home. Most likely you went to a fast food place after the movie. However, some of us went home. Finally arriving home, you sit there wondering, should you kiss or not? After a long silence, you give a quick kiss and say good night. Then you get on the phone and tell your best friend about the evenings activities. You and your friend both agree things are a lot easier with friends than one on one, but I ' m sure all of us are glad we ' ve been through that already.

Shy people seem to hang out together. They sit together at lunch, and if they ' re really shy, they don ' t hang out with anyone at all. Even though shy people don ' t talk much, they each have distinct and unique personalities. And another activities, and that thing, all shy people is good because our are not boring. As a school wouldn ' t be matter of fact, if you q uite so 8 cod with . , out them, can get a shy person talking about a subject they like sometimes it ' s hard to shut them up!

Answer- Chris Low - The best part of being a Jun- ior is finally getting to be an upperclass- men. Crystal Gales - The part I liked about being a Junior was the fact that I ' m one year closer to graduating. Mike Drake - The chance to pick on the Freshmen and Sophomores like we were picked on. Brian Sweeney - The best part about being a Junior is finally realizing there is only one year left and being one year closer to college. Diane Guernsey - The best part is knowing next year will be my final year. Matt Sizemore - Looking forward to being a Senior! Question- What are you looking forward to? What will you miss? Answer- Low- As a Senior, 1 will be looking forward to being on top and graduating. I will miss my Sen- ior friends who are graduating and I wish them lc?ts of luck. Gales - I really liked not being an under- classmen anymore. Drake - I ' m looking forward to college women. About the only thing I ' ll miss is some of the teachers. Miss Shively, Mr. Long, a few more too, but especially Mrs. Moore. Sweeney - High school nas been fun and I am looking forward to being a Senior.

It ' s kind of frustrating knowing that after you gradu- ate you ' ll be faced with the real world and college. Preparing for college is tedious but rewarding. Taking the S.A.T. and A.C.T., filling out applications for college and college scholarships, but most importantly deciding what you want to do for the rest of your life. College is a lot different than high school. For one you are paying for the education; therefore , you ' re there to learn not to mess around. College also gives you a chance to meet new people and make new friends. It also gives you a sense of responsibility. Here you have to get a job, get a car for transportation, and save money for an apartment, and tuition. So Juniors and upcoming Juniors if you haven ' t gotten to work on this you better start soon for time flies faster than you think!

We ' re both lousy, but it passes the time. Afterward, we go for pizza And talk about how the action ' ll pick up next week, How we ' ll get a couple of dates And really have a good time.

Lisa Crawford breathes a sigh of relief as the long haul comes to an end. . . MINA 17-year-old Mina Osakabe from Hamamatsu, Japan, was Edison ' s exchange student for the 1988- 89 school year. As Mina ' s long- term goal is to teach English, she learned a great deal during her stay. She has one more year of high school to complete in Japan before returning to the States to continue her education at the University of Michigan. Mina quickly and happily adapted to American culture as well as the social scene at Edison. She enjoyed pizza, junk food, the Hard Rock Cafe, George Michael, and American holidays and customs. She will be remembered by most of her many friends, however, for her prowess on the tennis court. Currently ranked 29th in Japan ' s Junior Tennis League, Mina advanced to the Indiana state finals tennis tournament, after an amazing undefeated singles season for Edison. She ended her season placing 4th in the state of Indiana. Mina stayed with the Gumalowski family during her stay in Lake Station. She was an excellent scholar, athlete, and had a wonderful, outgoing personality. She will be missed and remembered by many. Effort of Good Will Three California grey whales captured the attention of the world in October of 1988. As winter approached the arctic, the whales were trapped in the freezing water en route Califor- nia. Local efforts were first made to keep breathing holes open for the three whales. For the mam- mals to survive though, a path to the sea would have to be cleared. The coalition of envi- ronmentalists, oil company offi- cials, Eskimo whalers and the Alaskan National Guard all came to the rescue. Eventually, the whales were led to open sea by breathing holes in the ice. Two of the three whales sur- vived the ordeal. In an effort of good will, many people and nations came togeth- er to help. Summit Reached 1988 was characterized by several ground breaking sum- mits between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Presi- dent Ronald Reagan. In May, President Reagan visited Moscow, where he and Gorbachev signed nine agree- ments with two pertaining to arms control. Reagan also em- phasized issues of human rights while in Moscow. In December, Gorbachev vis- ited the United States and ad- dressed the United Nations. He promised to trim 500,000 men and 10,000 tanks from the So- viet armed forces. His visit end- ed quickly when an earthquake hit Soviet Armenia. This was the first time since World War II that the Soviet Union accept- ed disaster relief from the United States. Forests Catch Fire Since the beginning of sum- mer in 1988 the worst fires in several centuries ravaged over a million acres of Yellowstone National Park. The blame for the catastro- phe has been put on several forces. The government was fol- lowing a policy of a natural burn theory. The Park Service has al- lowed natural fires, as those caused by lightning to burn their course as long as humans or private property are not threatened. Another factor in the conti- nuence of the forest fire has been the effects of natural forces. Hot weather, high winds and summer drought have been causes. Half of Yellowstone’s acres had been charred as had land in surrounding states. Elvis Lives! Although the legendary King of Rock Roll has been dead for over ten years, 1988 was the biggest year ever for Elvis sightings. He was seen doing a variety of things ranging from fishing in upstate New York to dining out in California.

The acts represented a veritable gamut of late 8o ' s trends: The Cover Girls, The Pet Shop Boys, U2 Tone Loc (doing the Wild Thing), Uet Leppard (a big favorite among a . , ‘ r s in t ie au dience), and Paula Abdul. The winners - Dan Ellenberger, Tom Alicea, Rayez Perez, Steve Winandy, and Kim Page - performed the o d Tokens hit The Lion Sleeps Tonight , with Ms. Page, at her feline best, undertaking the role of the somnambulistic carnivore.
