Swatch Watches, like this one, were a pop- ular fad at Gross. Often, people were seen wearing more than one. The latest news As the students walked through the doors on August 22, 1985 they were greeted by a new principal, Bro. Dick Shea. Mr. Robert Gehringer also took on a new job as dean of Student Life for freshmen and sophomores. Three new faculty members also joined the staff. They were Mrs. Ruth Smith, Bro. Joe Welshmeyer and Fr. Jim Schimelpfening. The students also faced a schedule change. They came to school earlier and went home later. An extra minute was added to the passing periods between classes. In addition, classes were three minutes longer and first period was an extra five minutes longer. The girls now had a choice between a plaid or a plain skirt. They no longer had to wear vests with their skirts either. As the students walked into the commons, they found that the old brand of potato chips, Frito Lay, was out and the latest brand, Barrel of Fun, was in. As the year wore on, Frito Lay was gradually brought back. Along with the new food came new, higher prices. The latest in fundraising techniques was displayed this year at Gross. The Walk of Thanks brought citywide attention to our school. The giant video screen at the homecoming dance showed that Gross knew how ,to keep up with the latest technology. A new dance tried this year was the computer dance. The day the list was posted, the halls buzzed as students discussed who they were paired with. All of these events were just a few of the things that made the latest news at Gross. open1ngf5 X , 3- XQSLX - . !1r 1 A ffl J ' .iA J ' 5 ix-'M ' o X ,Rf f ,f 'N .4.,u ,,,q'v, , , V...

The best of times Some of the best times I've had in high school have been outside of school. What I mean is that the outside activities, other than classes, are the best. This thought was expressed by Mike Skippy D'Ercole. Every morning 1200 students gathered at Gross for classes. There were other reasons for their gathering, too. These reasons included dances, such as homecoming, the musical, retreats and masses. The school sponsored many of these events. Even everyday activities, such as getting together with friends, was a reason for gathering. Bene Wolf '87 said, My favorite part of school is between classes, at my locker, and my frees. I like this part because I can just be with my friends, and that's always fun. Other areas of student life included weekend activities, dates and jobs. One thing that made these events so special was the fact that many shared in them. Christy Coacher said, I always have a lot of fun when everyone gets together. Dances and games are the most fun when a lot of different people come. student 11fef9 Q 477T'?Z5f1'- Q ,.

Activities included sports, watching the movie Footloose, and a piz- za party. The juniors played volleyball, football, and softball.

The audience watched the stage come alive with fifties' music, hair- styles, and poodle skirts as the story of Bye Bye Birdie unfolded. , ' Close to 175 people were in some way involved in the musical. Besides the 112 members ot the cast, there were stu- dents working backstage, on make-up, and playing in the band, Junior Sandy Micek said, One of the most memorable gscenes was seeing Chris Reed, as Conrad Birdie, singing in a flashy gold outfit with matching boots. Also, Tom Blankman was great as Ed Sullivan. Junior Dan Vankat felt the musical was a success. We knew that if we enjoyed performing, people would enjoy watching' us.

Often students went to their counselor for advice. This year several problems were dealt with through the guidance program. Sophomores had the chance to partici- pate in a group session discussing the death of friends or family members. Counselor Mrs. Diann Greener said, I think most of the kids involved would say the group was a good experience for them. If nothing else their sharing of their experience was supportive. Other topics commonly discussed were divorce, family conflicts, relationships self-esteem, and academic concerns. T Brother Joe Barrett was a familiar faci- to many of the seniors this year. Brothel Joels help was essential concerning col lege information, ACT and SAT testing and scholarships.

Other moves made by the top cola companies also made headlines this year, from commercials to space. See page 39. Space played an important part in this year's headlines. Halley's Comet returned to earth after an absence of 75 years. The space program suffered a major setback with the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger. Seven astronauts, including the first teacher into space, lost their lives in the accident. See pages 40 81 41. .

This mini-mag tells you just some of the things that have happened this past year outside of Gross. The next eight ages will cover just a small sample of the top news stories and events of P the '85-86 year outside of school. That's why we call this mini-mag ON THE OUTSIDE. Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev led their nations while Bill Cosby and Don lohnson entertained television viewers. The Royals upset ,r--N the Cardinals while the Bears trampled the Patri- ots. These were just a few of the many people and events that shaped the world.

KPTM, channel 42, signed on the air at six o'cIock on Sunday morning April 6, 1986. Its first program was Po- peye. The first independent station to serve viewers in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, KPTM offered a variety of program- ming, from comedy to drama. band. For cable systems, KPTM was located on channel 12 for United Cable of Sarpy County, channel 4 for Douglas County, Cab- levision and channel Q for Cablevision of Lincoln. lt's different from the other channels. There are fewer commercials and a variety of different movies and t.v. shows, said senior Kim Reed. When I first heard about the channel I wasn't expecting to see such quality programming.

Jerry Wall '88. will be able to give you the kind of televi- sion programming you want, not the kind of programming network executives back in New York think you want. We will bring you more of your favorite programs and more of your all-time favorite movies. KPTM offered viewers such syndicated television series as Eight Is Enough , I Love Lucy , Leave it to Beaver , The Brady Bunch , Dallas , Diff'rent Strokes and many more. The channel adds a new form of enter- tainment to cable besides watching videos and independent stations from other areas like Chicago and Atlanta. I can't wait until they start showing sports events, Jerry Wall '88 said. Fifteen movies were shown every week. Five movies were shown every Saturday I and Sunday, and one prime-time moviei was seen every week night. Classics like 2001 Dr. ZHIVAGO, HDDLER ON THE ROOI-1 NET WORK, and ONE FLE W OVER THE CUCK- OO'S NEST were just a sample of the fifty- five movies shown on KPTM from Sunday, April o, to Friday, May 2. Other moviesi included PLAY IT AGAIN SAM: FOUL PLAIG SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and NATIONAL LAMPOONS ANIMAL HOUSE Coke tampers with a classic oke is it, was it and is it again. The decision made by Coca- Cola executives to change the QQ- year old formula was just one battle in the war of the colas. The new formula of Coke offered the soda drinkers of America a sweeter and less carbonated version of an American Tradi- tion. The executives had planned for an attack from other cola companies, but not from the American public. People were outraged with the change. Letters and phone calls poured into Coke offices daily. People began storing the old Coke in wine cellars, basements and ga- rages across America. Cases of the old Coke had a value of thirty dollars and more. ln one of many commercials making fun of the Coke change, Pepsi-Cola, long time rival of Coke, boasted, ln the showdown between colas, one fact stands clear: One cola's changed and one coIa's chosen. Pepsi, the choice of a new generation. The Coca-Cola executives brought back the old Coke under a new name, Classic Coke. They also decided to keep the new formula on the market. But old Coke easily outsold new Coke. The cola wars weren't limited to planet Earth. Space was a battle field between Coke and Pepsi. Coke was chosen to take part in an experiment taking place on board the space shuttle. Pepsi complained about the exeriment taking place without them. The shuttle officials, who said that they had no preference which cola went on board, took Pepsi along. The experi- ment had nothing to do with the colas but the dispensers they were in. During the summer, Coke introduced 5 Pv- 5 L Cherry Coke, a fountain drink popular in the '50s. People who were once loyal to Pepsi or Coke switched to the fruity-fla- vored cola. The makers of Pepsi earlier introduced a citrus drink called Slice, an uncola with 10 per cent real fruit juice. The official uncola, 7-Up, was facing some tough competition between Pepsi's Slice and Coke's Sprite. 7-Up made one last attempt to get out of its slump in the spring by launching a new advertising cam- paign to compete with the bigger soft drink companies. At the same time, Pepsi was considering the purchase of the 7-Up Com- pany. Coke tried to counter Pepsi's move by attempting to purchase the Dr. Pepper Company. A larger variety of soft drinks came into the market. There were colas, and there were uncolas. There were sugar free, caf- feine free and sodium free soft drinks. lf you didn't have a favorite, a lot of time was spent on deciding what to drink. If you wanted a Coke you had to make more than one decision, Patti O'Keefe '86 said. There was the choice between Classic Coke, New Coke and Cherry Coke. If this was too much, there was always Pepsi. However, Pepsi wasn't much better. There was Pepsi Light, Pepsi Free, Diet Pepsi Free and plain Pepsi. At this point, some people may long for a simpler time when they could order a Coke and actually get one. But for now, it's only a dream. on the outside!S9 Christa McAuliffe holds her training uniform as she packed for o trip to Houston where she began training for her trip into space.

When the students first heard about the explosion in their period 8 class, they had feelings of sadness. I felt really sad for the families of the astronauts, especially for Christa McAuliffe's youngest daughter who didn't want her mom to go, said Sue Ku- sek '87 who was in her English class when she heard about the explosion. Devon Nie- bling '88 said, lt affected me in the same way that l4ennedy's assassination affected the country in 196-B. Students in Mr. Mick I4rupski's classes watched the replay of the explosion and couldn't believe what happened. He said that the students had mixed reactions. They had a sense of awe and tragedy at the same time. Mr. Krupski said that Dave 40fon the outside The space shuttle Challenger exploded over the At lantic Ocean on January 28, 1986. The lives of seve astronauts, including one teacher, were lost in th accident. Photo by World Mde Photo, ' lives beyond disaster ' Leahy came into his Current Events class and told them about the disaster. Mr. Krupski said he replied, You'd better not be kidding, or that's a pretty sick joke. Mr. Krupski said he didn't want to accept the fact that the space shuttle exploded, taking seven lives. He said he kept looking for a parachute or something that would give everyone hope that someone had survived. The astronauts aboard the space shuttle Challenger were Commander Francis Pl. Scobee, pilot Michael J. Smith, Judith Reznik, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Greg- ory B. Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe, a social studies teacher from Concord, New Hamp- shire. She was chosen from 11,146 teachers who applied to be the first civilian in space. The space shuttle explosion was the first disaster in 55 manned space flights. When the shuttle exploded it was 10.4 miles up and 8 miles out over the Atlantic Ocean. lt was accelerating at a speed of 1,977 m.p.h. The mcyor blast came from the large exter- nal fuel tank when the two solid-fuel rockets brake loose. President Reagan was very saddened by the explosion. He expressed his feelings by saying, We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, as they prepared for theiriourney and waved goodbye, and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God. Despite this tragedy, many students feel that the explosion should not stop the space program. Bob Kahout '88 said, lt was a terrible accident, but I think NASA should continue with the space program because it's a good one. ,gn-l -pil if fl .g-- Once in o lifeiime event foils To Thrill l'You could never cotch me out One of this yeor's celebrities wos noth- ing but o snow boil.

Actor Rock Hudson's death from acquired immune deficien- cy syndrome CAIDSD made people more aware of the deadly disease.

During the weeks before his death, fellow actors and actresses donor- ed money and time for AIDS research. Another deadly problem faced by Americans this year was terrorism. Attacks in the Mediterraean Sea, Rome, Austria, West Berlin and Beirut eventually led to an attack on Libya by the U.S. President Reagan and Col, Muammar Muhammad al-Qa- dhafi, leader of Libya, started the year with a war of words. Qadhafi started it by publicly admitting that he helped sponsor some of the recent terrorist attacks that killed several Ameri- cans. Phrases like, a flakey barbarian and a third rate Blue-collar troubadour Bruce Springsteen was the undisupted Boss of rock n' roll.

Without the 1200 students, the faculty and staff, the administration and the parents and alumni, there would've been no Gross High School. Gross was a community and it is people that make up a community. Each and every person associated with Gross contributed something to the community. Maybe it was the vending department that helped get a candy bar unstuck, or a teacher that doubled as a coach, or a student that lent help with a homework assignment: everyone was a vital part. People filled the dances, participated in the masses, cheered at the games, decorated the lockers and struggled through the classes.

To answer this question, you might have asked Mr. Michael Dempsey, Miss Chris lohanek, Mr. Mick Krupski, or Mrs. Debra Neighbors. These four not only worked at Gross High as teachers but were once stu- dents as well. They watched Gross develop and grow from the school they once knew as pupils to what 62 f seniors Mr. Dempsey said is, One of the best schools in the city. There were many similarities and differences between Gross High past and present. One idea that had not changed was that of involvement. Mr. Krupski said, Faculty members and staff are still emphasizing people to get involved in physical activities and clubs. One major difference between Gross then and now was in the types- of classes offered. The classes off fered were only the basics. Today there is a nice variety of course se-l lections, said Mrs. Neighbors. They 1985-86 edition of Gross High had everything from the academio courses to those of industrial tech- nology, computers and much more. ' 1 1 if i at K ,1 4-,, I '21 f Q s sir f' it ..

He finally asked you out and you were all ready for the big date .... what could go wrong? What had started out as a perfect evening with the most perfect guy, ended in disas- ter. Everything went fine until you ar- rived at the restaurant. When it came time to order, one sophomore said, It was embarrassing when I couldn't order what I wanted because the guy was too cheap. Senior Tracy Koory 64fiuniors also had quite an ordeal at the res- taurant. When the busboy brought us our water, he leaned across the booth, set down my water and spilled the other glasses causing two guys to get their pants wet. Senior Doug Henely agreed that things have gone wrong on dates. One of his experiences came about on homecoming night. I was going to pick up the other couple, and I drove bye jill Stovie's house, but I 1. when I was pulling over, I hit her mailbox with my side-view mirror. To make things worse, her parents were on the porch. It was a hilarious but embarrassing scene. While these situations were terri- bly embarrassing at the time, they were the most memorable of datesg with the passing of time perhaps these incidents might take on a hu- morous perspective for the people involved.

Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal: Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, ls our destined end or way, But to act, that each tomorrow Finds us farther than today. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,-act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o'erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sand of time, Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I A sunrise over the land brings in a new day.

One purpose of this event was to replace the school van by selling pledges to raise money. Another reason was to draw positive atten- tion to Gross High School. Clothed in their school colors, stu- dents traveled by bus to four differ- ent locations where they would be- gin their long journey back to Gross. Seniors started at Our Lady of Lourdes, juniors began at the Sarpy 68fjuniors County Court House, sophomores started at St. Mary's of Bellevue, and the freshmen traveled from St. Mar- garet Mary's. After the students returned to school, they were greeted by re- freshments and warmth. One com- ment that stood out among many was when Tricia Kmiecik said, I think I'm dead, as she fell to the floor. Though many people were tired and ready to drop as they came back from the walk, they maintained a positive attitude toward the walk. .. ' V: ,V 1 , 42 45 1 wir' and teachers. The results of the Walk-of-Thanks' were positive also. Brother Dick Shea explained that this was the first time in a number of years that the whole school met its entire quota. Because of this, each division had a divisional lunch and the whole school enjoyed a free day added onto Thanksgiving Vacation. November 18, 1985 was just a nor- mal day for many, but for Gross High, School it marked the conclusion of a successful project.

The most common disadvantage of being a twin was a problem with identity. Identical twins were con- tinuously mistaken for each other. jason Krist said, Everyone always had our names mixed up. People also mixed up our talents and ex- pected us to be exactly alike.

Steve True said, You can share things like clothes or change places to trick people. Also,,you almost al- ways have someone there that you can count on, even though Dave and I are rivals in just about everything. Although having a twin brother or sister gave each person a friend, competition in sports and academics was familiar. Mark Vara said, Chris and I have always tried out for the 351 , xx ..-i 1.

We had some right here at Gross High this Christmas. In fact, every one of us played the role of Santa's helper in one way or another. No, we didn't scamper around in little hats and shoes constructing toys for boys and girls everywhere. Every student in each homeroom contributed money. When all of it was collected, a group of people dashed to the shopping centers. Lists had been sent to each homeroom telling what each child wanted. With the help of these lists, the last min- Fifth graders from Sacred Heart School enter- tain with Christmas carols.

Boxes big and small, tall and short, poured into Gross on December 19. They were put into sacks, separated by grades, and brought down to the main gym. They were stored behind the stage until the big moment final- ly arrived. The Sacred Heart students soon arrived and took seats in the center of the gym. Fifth graders performed and sang Christmas carols for every- one in the gym. The entire school gave the Sacred Heart children a huge round of applause. Then it was time, the sacks were taken out and the gifts were distrib- uted to each and every child from primary to junior high. lt gave me a special feeling to be F able to give to those less fortunatel than l, said Laurie Schwery.

Friday, September 27, was set aside for Peace and Justice Day. Each division heard from a variety of speakers. These speakers discussed their involvement with social justice and what the students could do to help in this area. Mrs. Sharon McNeil, founder of Michaella Wright, after her introduction, lis- tens to Adjman libhal Bonjbon speak on social injustice. Kimberly Kelly Sean Kenealy jeffrey Kirkpatrick Lori Kitta Todd Klein Frank Kment Tricia Kmiecik the Stephen Center, spoke of the poor and homeless in South Omaha. As a result of this new awareness, the Franciscan Sisters prepared meals for the center every Monday night. In response to this week the stu- dent body decided to do something for the poor. Each homeroom chose one task designed to help the com- munity. There was a wide variety of charities and services chosen. Some homerooms chose to sponsor a des- titute child, while others decided to raise money for charity or to devote some of their time to organizations for the needy Some students felt that the week contributed to their awareness not only of the injustices of the world but also of those in our own commu nity.

Driving is noth- ing to laugh about, yet driving for the first time might have been a joke for many sophomores. Whether it was seeing a gorgeous guy and watching him instead of the road or getting so caught up in the conver- sation among the passengers that one ran a red light, accidents could happen. Sophomore jenny Sommer told of the time she tried to park her grandfather's car and backed into his new fence and knocked it down. One day Carol Bahun was driving to school and panicked when a car was Tl coming toward her. She turned quickly and drove into a ditch. As Karen Peers, Suzie Sorich, and Mi- chelle Ramos tried to push Carol's car out of the ditch, she ran over Suzi's foot. Having a license created a host of new problems as well. Not all sixteen year olds were so fortunate as to have their parents buy them a car, they had to settle for the family car. Yet it wasn't easy to get it when they wanted or needed it. Chris Smailys added, I never get the car because my brother is older and if he needs the car he gets it. On the other hand, when one l i-.l turned 16 he or she found himsel with more freedom. There was n worry for rides from Mom and Da when one wanted to go to the mov- ies with friends. Parents may no have admitted it, but they were re lieved they didn't have to chauffeur their children around. One mother Mrs. Mary Dame, said, I am glad m daughters have their licenses but I' frightened for them, accidents ar expensive mistakes. Driving may have seemed like al fun and games, but there were a lo of unanticipated problems when th license was finally obtained.

They were participating in a student exchange program in which they stayed with a host family for an ex- tended period of time. Language was one of the greatest obstacles encountered by the for- eign exchange students. Kanako mentioned that understanding the many slangs teenagers used was diffi- cult. However, according to Cari Murphy, a junior, I was surprised how well she spoke our language. Homework was more difficult for Mikael. Not because of the content, but rather the difficulty in under- standing the language. Carol stayed me ' - .

The old uniforms were either grey or brown plaid skirts and the new uniforms were ei- ther solid navy blue or solid grey skirts, depending on the division. For both uniforms, vests were no longer required. Along with the new uniforms came the new rules. For the girls with the old skirts, their blouse had to button all the way down the front, there had to be a collar, and the blouse had to be a solid color, but for the girls with the new uniforms, any type of dress blouse was suitable.

Dick works way to the top Gross High might have had a new principal this year, but he certainly wasn't a new face. He was Bro. Dick Shea, 14 year veteran of Gross. Bro. Dick first came to Gross at the request of Father David Paul, the principal of Gross at that time. He started out at the bottom of the lad- der and gradually worked his way to his present position. Bro. Dick's first job was that of groundskeeperg later he went on to teach typing classes. As the years passed, Bro. Dick became certified as a teacher and was head of the Busi- ness Department. The school ex- panded and the need for another administrator arose. Bro. Dick be- came the dean of freshmen, which meant he took care of discipline for the freshman class. The job of dean was soon expanded to include fresh- men and sophomores. As principal, Bro. Dick supervised everything that went on at school. He worked with the other deans to improve school life. Bro. Dick placed more emphasis on spirit. One of his greatest challenges was to strive to provide top quality education while keeping cost increases to a mini- mum. He also continued to further develop the endowment fund. Bro. Dick reached out to many different foundations in hopes that they would support the fund and spread the word of Gross High's excellence. When asked what direction he saw the school heading, Bro. Dick re- plied, lt will be recognized as the exemplary Catholic high school for education, community and spirit. administratronf89 Faculty 84 Staff Miss Jana Adams: Home Economics Chairperson, flag squad moderator Sr. Janice Alfoldyz English, jv cheerleaders' moderator, member of liturgical singers Miss Elizabeth Backes: Math, Science, freshman cheerleaders' moderator Bro.

It was shown that learning consisted of more than sitting in a classroom, taking notes all day. Gross offered a variety of courses for a variety of students. Whether one's interest was home economics, industrial tech, music, computers or the traditional math and English, there was a course to take. An honors program was also available in English, mathematics, science and social studies. Through this program, seniors could earn college credits. Juniors and seniors also earned honor points for these courses. Maura Cavanaugh '86 summed it up by saying, The academics of this school are top- notch. That's one of the main reasons I came here.

Students learned the basic skills of a foreign language, which included reading, writing, speaking and un- derstanding the spoken word. In ad- dition to this, they learned about a country's cultural tradition. Senior Nancy Klostermeyer said, We have not only learned French grammar but we've also learned a lot about French culture, food and everyday life in France. Sr. Geor- gette Lehmuth, the French IV in- structor, said that she tried to stress an understanding and appreciation of different languages as not being better or worse, just different.

The use of com- puters became common in this area. Sister Lucinda Girard said, One of our major goals for the year was to seek out worthwhile computer soft- ware in math. We wanted to find at least one good program per course per term. Computer science is going to have a crucial impact on what mathematics is taught in secondary schools and how it is taughtf' Many students were concerned about the importance of math in fu- ture careers and college. Rebecca Redding said, Mathematics is im- portant for college and is involved in almost any career a person chooses to pursue.

Students learned how to use computers, which had become an integral part of soci- ety. In the Industrial Technology Department, students learned car mechanics, home maintainance, en- gineering, electronics, and construc- tion. The Industrial Technology classes offered many opportunities to learn through various activities. The building classes constructed a com- plete home inside the industrial technology building, while some of the engineering students designed house plans for next year's building classes. Construction student Sean McMahon said, Making the house was a great thrill for me. I learned many important skills. Engineering students used com- 102!computers Sz industrial technology puters to make drafting easier and more accurate.

Shorthand and office procedure classes, which taught secretarial skills, were not as popular as they had been in the past. Miss Terry Young said, This is be- cause secretaries arenlt using short- hand as much, due to advanced tech- nology. Most students think that the course office procedures isn't impor- tant since they are going to college instead of directly into a business. The department helped students prepare for life on their own by offer- ing accounting, personal finance, shorthand, office procedures, and several typing courses. Mr. Michael Herman said that his personal fi- nance class prepared students for students f ,life away from home - financially Amy Ravnsborg said, I enjoy taki accounting because it is interesti and I know the subject matter practical. The typing courses provided stl dents with knowledge of how to o erate both typewriters and compu ers. These abilities proved to be i portant to students at school, wort and home.

To the students, the arts meant a time to be creative. Art teacher, Mrs. Mary Culver, said, The students were rewarded in different ways. They received immediate reward from the feeling f satisfaction in seeing their com- pleted piece of art hanging in the artroom or by receiving an award in an exhibit. Many students also used their newly developed talents with great success when they left Gross and involved art in their future. Amy Ravnsborg said, When I learned to draw something and it really looked like what I was draw- ing, it showed me I could do what I set out to accomplish. The Advanced Art classes were introduced to the use of the air- brush. Susan Kusek said, We went on a field trip to Standard Blue where a speaker demonstrated the different types of air brushes and how to take them apart to clean them.

Extensive opportunities I feel we have a sports program that is envied by many other schools. Our equipment, uniforms, etc. are in top notch condition. Our weight room is one of the best facilities in the state and our weight coach, Mr. Paul Halpine, is one, if not the most knowledgeable in the state. These were the thoughts of Mr. Jerry Shank about Gross' sports program. The sports were split into three seasons: fall, winter, and spring. The opportunities for students included football, volleyball, golf, tennis, soccer, swimming, basketball, wrestling, track, weightlifting, cross country and baseball. Athletes' contracts and off- season training were two new policies initiated this year. Every athlete who participated in a sport had to sign a drug-alcohol agreement. These said that the athlete must follow the training rules of the school. The extensive winter conditioning which included Weightlifting, running, and overall body conditioning, got athletes who weren't participating in a winter sport in shape for the spring or fall seasons. Gross was best summed up in Mr. Stan Macaitis' words, Our programs take a back seat to no one. Only seconds after the gun, the swimmers begin to surface.

To fit the diversity of these people, the school offered a variety of clubs and organizations. Dave Giandinoto, '87, said, I like the fact that no matter what you like to do, there is something for you to join. There were spirit groups such as cheerleading, pom pon, flag, wrestling cheerleading and poster club. There were elected groups such as student life and student council. Musically talented students could join band or liturgical singers. Speech and debate offered students a chance to show off their skills in those areas. Photography club, yearbook, and newspaper gave the journalistically talented students a way to show off their talents. Language clubs provided a place for students with a knowledge of a foreign language to get together. FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, was a group for the business- minded. National Honor Society awarded intellectually and service oriented students. No matter what kind of interests you had, there were others like you, and a club to join. Pam Grossman, '87, said, I like Gross because of the variety of people. You can do a variety of things and you still fit in. organizationsf l 6 l Srudehrs govern Provides oplooriuhiiies for invoivemeni frwfcffisfng if?!90ff0f?f negiomgzpmaiiaasyslafidirfufiiifrossefgi The' H M'DH ' A fungi 'i'W'?lL' ' fzixn , -W -4 ' ' fhefswdeffr QW ,sir-asiezygfsiszfeifafiiisialfamnedfiirhewefwnovs ififhe iiisv iplsafwed ' 5 ii siis SWi5?5i?5F5S'5' gui iffeson ODQFQUOQ events? ig , 7 f , l Qrudegyrg oLifQL0nQr5iged?4??He Ziiifereriii OCfi:fVii'iQS'iifi'1Of otcured rhrogighougig l Wesyeensfhemsmhefsiohdfcommbnihiii asfffheiiafggonezgfion ofsrhefji WC5US0f'T3500K55Qe Theyfi .
