Everyone was thinking of going out and having a good time. No one thought of August and back-to- school days. So you had to enjoy those last few weeks and really live it up. The 1979 summer ended and be- lieve it or not, school was just around the corner. It was time to get yourself together and prepare for the days ahead. 1. Students enjoy their last night out. 2. Luba Petryna lines up for the new styles. 3. Linda Wilkie and Gail Zyla are checking out what ' s new in school supplies. 4. No folks, they look a little small! 3.

Summer Workin’ Summer Playin’ Summer has always been looked upon with far more enthusiasm than any other season of the year. During the summer of 1979, those 87 degree days were no exception. For some, summer might have simply meant no school and therefore no work, but, for others, it was only a beginning. They occupied those long hot days working at all different types of jobs. Having a goal in mind, they were ambitious and set out to achieve it. Throughout the summer they grew and learned because of that exper- ience they gained. It wasn ' t all work, however, be- cause when the work was over the fun began. It was time to enjoy all of the activities typical of the season. Almost everyone took advantage of the weather to enjoy all of their fa- vorite summer pastimes. Not a mo- ment was wasted because they real- ized that all too soon it would end. The summer of 1979 would be a memory like all of those past and school would begin again.

The snow and freezing tem- peratures cast a serious yet comical outlook for everyone. Whether slip- ping and sliding or pushing your car to school, the majority manage to crawl in. Dodging snowballs, drown- ing in slush, and frostbite were just some of the winter festivities of 1980. Although there are many mishaps during the winter months, it is hard to keep a totally gloomy outlook on winter. It’s a well-known fact that moods change once the Yule Tide season arrives.

A really exciting part of winter in any region is Christmas. Starting off with the Christmas parade and the store decorations a person can get into the holiday mood early.

The theme Cherish ” seemed to fit the feel- ings of everyone. Heads turned as Mercy and Harvey entered the room. They made a lovely couple with she in her Sears formal and he in his Dunhill tux. They slow danced to the easy sounds of Night Magic; then later in the evening boogied to the beat of Fluid Motion. Suddenly the lights went dim. It was time to announce the 1 980 prom queen. The court members and their escorts: Carrie Brzozkiewicz (Dave Shavey), Christine Kucer (Ronnie Plawecki), Sheila Tite (Nick Kikalos), and Cheryl Vance (Tim Eder) gathered together. It was unanimous, Sheila lire won the title. Harvey was so happy, because this year he was able to bring sophomore. Mercy Johnson. Tradition changed somewhat, but Harvey wasn ' t com- plaining.

Commencement is the beginning of that new life; a life that holds a future of changes. This year’s graduating class experienced a change in tradition along with their commencement. The graduation ceremony was moved from the gym to the auditorium. On Wednesday, June 4, 1980, 196 seniors, donned in their caps and gowns, gathered in the auditorium to receive their diplomas, administered by Janice Vance, school board trustee. Co -valedictorians Cindy Snedecor and Ann Wisniewski, along with salutatori- an Cindy Dahn, gave their farewell speeches to a class prepared to take their final walk across the high school stage. As that moment approached, the audi- torium was filled with memories of the past and dreams of the future. The climax came as the seniors became graduates with the flip of the tassel. Leaving the auditorium, a group that spent most of their lives together from September to June, smiled happily as a day for which they had waited for 12 years had finally arrived. 1.

They were the Gavit Twirlers. The Twirlers performed in the fall with the band at half- time, during football games, and marched in parades. Their winter performances included half-time at basketball games. The Twirlers brought spirit to Gavit as did the pep club. Pep Club members cheered at football games and basketball games also helping to get other students involved in cheers. Getting involved musically was what the members of the Ensemble club and Modern Music Masters did this year. By practicing extra hours, ensemble members brought the extra perfection to the music depart- ment. BAND ENSEMBLE: Front Row: N. Carter, K. McCaw; Back Row: M. Saltanovitz, C. Chang, F. Pick- ett.

The co -cap- tains were Lynette Orcutt and Cindy Snedecor, with Mrs. Hoekstra as their sponsor. Football ;eason was different because the Gla- dettes performed with the band at every game. They also marched together in Highland’s Christmas pa- rade, bringing home a Second Place trophy. Gavit’s Pom Pom girls added a bit of sparkle to half-time during basket- ball season by performing to such songs as: Keep Pushin ' On , Dream Po- lice , and Roller . 46 Organizations TOP LEFT: Drill Team members show their spirit during an afternoon pep rally.

Money from this event was put towards the ICA Cheerleading Camp at Indiana University where Gavit won the Spirit stick and several ribbons for their excellent performances. Practices all summer and after school kept the squads all together and the girls in shape. It took alot of hard work and diligence as always so the team captains Kelly Kroslak ( B-team ) and Lynn Zajac (frosh) helped keep their squad’s morale up.

Organizations 49 Music plays an important part in the lives of many. Those people who were especially interested in music had an opportunity to try out for one of Gavit ' s various choirs. The choir itself was chosen on a basis of singing ability and ambition. Freshmen had an opportunity to join their own group called, of course, the Freshman Choir. This group was also specially chosen and only open to them. In addition to these, this year marked the return of the Choraleers and the Treble Choir. The Treble Choir was a group of all girls who were blended together to sound as one. The Choraleers showed that they knew how to dance as well as sing. Throughout the year, especially at Christmas time the Choir was kept busy performing at various churches and practicing for the Christmas concert.

Academics 61 Language A.B.C’s A.B.C’s Literary Reflections Many of us think of Literature as just another subject in the course of a school day. Literature is much more than that. In a way, you could call it a mirror to na- ture”. Whether you live in the 20th century or the first, life goes on. Our ideas are basically still the same. Just picture your- self going to a costume ball and Queen Elizabeth going to a Rush” concert. The idea of amusement is there, but you prob- ably wouldn’t want to stay long. That’s what literature is all about. It is simply the reflections of the past to the present. 1. Two Junior students reflect their good times. 2.

The HERO program enables the students to gain valuable work exper- ience while they earn their credits for school. This year the Home Economics depart- ment not only offered cooking and sew- ing, but they also offered courses such as Child Development, Family Relations, Consumer Education and Interpersonal Relations. These courses were developed for students who are interested in careers in the Family Sciences. 64 Academics Careers Unlimited Students Gain Office Experience The Distributive Education and the C.O.E. programs in the Business Depart- ment are growing and more and more students are involved in it. Mr. Robert Welte is the head of this department. Some of the various courses which are available to the students are typing, short- hand and accounting.

So in order to pre- pare them for this, the math department organized a new club . . . MATH CLUB! The club, sponsored by Mrs. Prater and Mr. Willis, also gives the students a look at future subject matter. The department hopes to revise its cur- riculum now that more and more eighth grade students are taking algebra. This will give them a chance to get ahead and to take more courses available to them. These new programs will help to solve some of the problems facing math students. f 1. Margaret Carroll gets help with a very con- fusing problem. 2.

These are the teachers who must have even more patience and understanding with their stu- dents than the teachers throughout the rest of the school. These are the ones who find their satisfaction in helping students un- derstand subjects better and working with each student individually. Gavit is proud to have such an excellent program under the direction of Mrs. Ko- zel. Thanks to them many students gra- duate with valuable skills. These skills be- come an important part of everyday life and may even mean a better job for the student. 68 Academics 1.

Gavit Offers Useful Skills The Industrial Arts department is that section of the school which is rarely seen by anyone not enrolled in shop classes. Classes available included woods, where a student learns how to design and build his own projects; power mechanics, where students learn the basic functions of an engine ; drafting, metals, and electricity. Many of those enrolled in these courses come out with valuable skills which will mean benefits in job hunting, home fix ups, and life in general. Academics 69 Historical Happenings Historical Happenings Social Studies Activities One of the finest departments at Gavit is our social studies department. This de- partment is headed by Miss Diane Clinton. This department offers many interesting classes. Psychology and sociology are of- fered to juniors and seniors. These are, in Miss Clinton’s opinion, two of the stron- gest classes. Also, a basically new class, Teenagers and the Law”, has been getting a good response. This class already shows much promise and many students enjoy it. 1. What do you think of Iran? asks Mr. Swanson. 2.

Talent Art And Music Develops Talent Talent is singing the tune in rhythm or creating a masterpiece out of clay. In art, students learned many forms of expressing themselves in art and they learned how to use many of the tools that the class has to pro- vide. Emphasis on the elements of design: line, color, texture, space and form is encoutaged by the teachers. In music, they were taught the dif- ferent styles of music and the rhythms of each and their impor- tance. The music department, con- sisting of the choral groups and the band, proved their talents to many as they performed in concerts, assem- blies, and parades. Academics 75 Talent Indispensable It’s All In A Day’s Work. ' No one ever seems to realize how much we rely upon our efficient staff in order for Gavit to run smoothly day after day. The countless tasks they perform are vital to the operation of the school. Without the help of the secretaries, cafeteria staff, and custodians, it would be impossible for the school to even open. These individuals are as much responsible for our quality educa - tion as anyone. 1. Mrs. Veith handles one of the many daily calls. 2. SECRETARIAL STAFF: FRONT ROW: Mrs. Irma Veith, Mrs. Doris Middle- ton, BACK ROW: Mrs. Chris Jackson, Mrs. Mary Paquin, Mrs. Diane Denton, Mrs. Ruth Ann Barrell. 3. CAFETERIA STAFF: FRONT ROW: R. Barberia, J. Salmon, L. Koerner, I. Wendlinger, P. White, A. Star- key, V. Juranovich, S. Ostreich, BACK ROW: S. Roberts, G. Dutz, S. Schaller, L. Strayer, W. Bellamy, M. Speelman, M.

Sanders became the new superintendent of the Hammond Public Schools. Dr. Sanders intended to carry on with the same high standards toward quality education. Quality educa- tion was also a concern of our own ad- ministrative staff as they put more empha - sis upon discipline and attendance policies. 1. Dr. Gary E. Jones; Ed.

Academics 77 Authority Teaching And A Job And A Challenge A teacher’s job isn ' t always an easy one but a certain combination of pride, dedi- cation, inspiration and at times frustration allow them to continue. Day in and day out from September to June, they instill us with their knowledge hoping that well gain something from it. They do more than teach, however, because they enjoy more than teaching throughout the year. 1. Mr. and Mrs. Kobe enjoy merry-go-rounds even more than their son David. 2. Timmy and Tammy Hunt get a helping hand from their Dad, Mr. Hunt. 3. Mr. Guiden, Mr. Strbjak, Mr.Welte, Mr. Willis and Mr. Mann enjoy some conversation and relax- ation at the teacher ' s picnic. 78 Academics Seniors Seniors Seniors 1980 as a whole the class of 80 had a fulfilling year. The sponsors who guided the students were Mr. Johns and Mrs. Hayes. The class officers were President, Dan Gorski; Vice President, Amy Jankowski; Secretary Susie LaVelle; and Treasurer, Tracy Hector. The Seniors graduated on June 4, 1980. Now they can begin their lives as young adults. The class of 1980 experienced a feeling of loss as they finished their last days at Gavit. They also felt a feeling of anticipation and excite- ment about the future.

Seniors Receive Honors As young kids we all had dreams of being someone special. Maybe the president or a famous dancer or even the Number One rock singer. Whatever you wished for, your dreams could become a reality with determination, hard work and lots of imagination! Many students excelled themselves in each of their interested fields. As a result, ten fine students made it to the top of the Senior class. Co -Valedictorians were Cindy Snedecor and Ann Wisniewski and Salutatorian was Cindy Dahn. Other Seniors accomplished some of their dreams by receiving recognition for their different talents. Many Seniors spent their summers experiencing and learning new things at different places across the country. Even if the entire Class of 80” did not receive high honors, each student can feel proud of himself — because each student had one dream come true — it was GRADUATING! Congratulations and Best of Luck in the New Decade. 98 Senior Honors Senior A wards Meric Scholar — Richard French. Rotarians — Joe Sturonas Richard French. D.A.R. — Cindy Snedecor.

Coached by Mr. Nino Muffoletto, Gavit finished its season with a record of four wins and fifteen losses. Most of their games were very close with a difference of three or four points. One of the most exciting games was against Ham- mond High with a lot of back and forth scoring. Finally the end came after three overtimes with a loss for Gavit at 57 to 62. Helping the team were J. Earl and L. Miklusak. T. Hedge and R. Davis got some valu- able experience with varsity. 1. Dave Herky gets a few tip from Coach Muffoletto. 2. Ga vit Glads take a time out. 3 ■ Ge • up high! 4.

' ,tc V!T GAV lT i� JAVtT Slides Into Home This can be a typical description of a baseball game; excitement and action, all centered around fun. Base- ball is an all-American game and played with a great amount of pride and enthusiasm. All this can be found on any given day you would go watch the Gavit baseball team during a routine practice or a confer- ence game. Coach Muffoletto returned for his second year, and along with Coach Bradtke, helped supervise the prac- tices, worked on special plays, and gave each individual any help that was needed. The returning seniors, Bob Thompson and Jerry Kolarczyk, helped the team by giving their all during their last year on Gavit s team. This year’s most outstanding play- er was probably junior Tom Puchley. He showed his ability in his perfor- mance in centerfield and the batting box. Junior Bob Baliga showed the most improvement on the pitching mound. 1. Junior Bob Baliga winds up and is ready for the pitch. 2.

Sports 153 JL The Girl’s Tennis Team started the season off right with an excelling and hard-working team. After placing 4th in the Conference, the team end- ed the season with a 3-11 record. Outstanding performances were made by Senior Maureen Rosko and Sophomore Lisa Duffala. Indiana Lake Shore Conference Doubles Champions were Maureen Rosko and Jennifer Kucharski. These girls deserve much credit for staying with the team in spite of all the hard practices out in the cold and coming in the morning before school. The team is sorry to lose Sen - iors Carrie Fulte, Cindy Schuster, and Maureen Rosko (Team Captain). This year the girls got together and worked as a team which seemed to improve as the season came to an end. Mr. Swanson is looking forward to a even better season next year. Mr. Swanson is happy to have J. Golenia, D. Kolarczyk, L. Lipman,J. Sudlak, L. Duffala, and L. Schmidt return next season. 1. Junior Diane Kolarczyk fol- lows through with the ball. 2.

With sophomores Paul Buda and Larry Gerdich behind the clubs and the two years’ experience of senior Jeff Skufakiss the team couldn ' t help but have a winning season. The game of golf is not highly glamorized and rarely draws large crowds of spectators, so the guys on the team worked hard to keep up Gavit’s reputation and strive to reach their own goals. This year, Gavit golfers took first in the Lake Shore Conference Tour- ney and ended the 1979-1980 season with a 20 and 2 record. This put the gladiators into the number one spot and also made their new coach Jim Arges exceptionally proud. Talent, which has been displayed by all the team members, is enough to give any coach a feeling of success. 1. A beautiful setting for a golf tournament. 2.

This season was one of rebuilding and new experiences for the girls. With many new members, the girls worked their way up in Conference during the season. The team started the season with an indoor Conference meet, the first year for such an event. At the meet sophomore Judy Hollandsworth took a Conference champ title as she placed first in the shot put. The team came in fifth overall. Following this meet, the regular season began and the girls worked hard to improve. Running in two, sometimes three or four meets a week, the girls gave an all-out effort to end the season with a 9-7 record. Their hard work brought the team up to third place in Conference in dual and tri-meets. Their season Confer- ence record was 6 wins and 2 losses. At the outdoor Conference meet Judy Hollandsworth again took first place in Conference for the shot put. She qualified for Sectionals in this event. Also qualifying for Sectionals were Kay Stephens in the 800 meter run, Sue Rowe, Rose Graczyk, and Kay Stephens in the discus, and the 800 relay team consisting of Deanne Richter, Sue Rowe, Linda Brand - handler and Kathy Pucalik. 1.

Opponent 0 MUNSTER 8 2 MERRILLVILLE 5 4 E.C Washington i 0 MORTON 4 CUAK-K 4 Soccer The game of soccer has become increasingly more popular through- out the United States, and Gavit High School is no exception. Al- though it is one of the roughest con - tact sports played in high school, it is played with very little protection. Be- cause of this it requires alot of skill and forethought. Not only does a soccer player have to kick the ball, block the other team, and run up and down the Held, but he also has to watch out for the other team’s play- ers who have the same ideas. People who play this game must be very skillful. Team Kicks Off 160 Sports To A Winning Season Gavit’s team of twenty-three men, lead by Seniors Ken Osorio and Tim Eder, kicked to a 6 and 2 record. Their new coach, Luis Zubillaga, had to start from the beginning with training, rebuilding, and shaping up the team. This fast moving, competitive sport has to be a team effort, and each member must give 100%. Goal- ie David Taylor has done an excep- tional job this year, but not without the help of the rest.

Do we need this at Odvit Happenings At Gavit Now that the 1980 school year is over many students will look back and remember the great times — go- ing out with friends to games and dances. The football homecoming was filled with rowdie students and after the pep rally, everyone showed their school spirit by painting the bridge which has become a tradition over the years. These were just a few to remember, but why not remember some of the other less rowdie ones: making the honor roll, getting a date with the number one guy or gal, spending a day in I.S.S. your class winning the spirit award, studying in homeroom for your second hour test, etc. Everyone seemed to enjoy them- selves in school activities whether in or out of school! Nothing stopped Jimmy Gavrilos from go- ing to Gavit’s Winter Inaugural. € W s A £ W s % N € w 5 191 192 gfyoAjsnfr Jsrtte 3-jutustx. 3hL teflcmflusrij ' o£ U.

Dr. Congreve served as Superinten- dent of the Hammond Public Schools since July, 1975. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. If death is not the end of life, but merely the beginning of a higher and better life, then all of life becomes different.

During the SUMMER, we sold ads and planned the coming yearbook. Workshops were attended by Sue La- Velle and Editor Karen Gaither. As FALL approached and school began the yearbook staff started to prepare for the coming year of yearbook making. Since the yearbook staff consisted of new workers, everyone had to learn layout preparing, copy writing, picture scheduling, etc. The dead- lines were troublesome and hectic, but everyone stuck together and pulled through with flying colors. Through- out WINTER and SPRING the staff worked to get the yearbook to everyone in August. This year was the first year for the yearbook to come out in August, and we hope that all students especially seniors, will enjoy having the full school calendar presented. This 1979-1980 yearbook was printed by Josten ' s Year- book Company with a type of 17i Garamond Italic. For the headlines we used 30 pt., copy, 12 pt., captions, 10 pt., and kickers (type at bottom of page) 8 pt. Garamond Italic. For the fancier headlines, we used formatt. To help us with problems was our Josten’s representative, Mr. Bob Hen- ning, who was a great help especially with the senior portrait section. The other people who deserve much thanks are Harry Dudzik and Jerry Misiewich (Bodie Photographers ) and Steve Muehlman (Student Photographer). Thanks to Mrs. Kathleen Canner, our yearbook advisor, and Mr. Bob Henning, and to all students, teachers, and administration who cooperated with us in our attempt to create a great book. Special thanks to the dedicated yearbook staff in helping produce this book. Thank you, 1. Mrs. Canner and Karen Gaither seem to enjoy the end of the year joys after another year’s making of a Gavit Futura. 2. Editor-In-Chief, Karen Gaither.
