From beginning to end, our story includes everything that occured not only in school, but out as well. The first day of school, facing a new long year of teachers, homework, and classes you thought would never end. The growing spirit and stricter enforcement of rules led to a smoother running year and a better atmosphere. Various dances and convocations were held to break up the monotony and to be with friends. There were many sports events that bettered the mind and body, including the exciting night Hanover’s Wildcats locked horns with Lowell’s Red Devils at Homecoming and won in double overtime, 51-50. Design, style, color and fashion make up the way we look. The ‘look’ continued to be blue jeans: the wear-all with anything. The look got dressier this year, with students more self-con- scious of their appearance. Vests, ribbons, belts and velour were some new trends seen. Teachers noticed a marked improvement in students’ attitudes toward classes. “This year has been great. The discipline has been taken more seriously by teachers as well as students,” said Mr. Dick Norris. “There is a better feeling between students and teachers,” commented Mr. Bob Krol. Es , mdQ Mhsrft ffi was a whole student O body of 457 students, O composed of differing personalities. There was added enthusiasm as a whole in every direction. The honor roll underwent a slight increase, despite a decrease in student popula- tion by 60 students from last year. The behavior problems were greatly reduced and many stu- dents quit smoking because of the elimination of the smoking field. The crowds at the sports events increased as the continued on page 5 . . . 2 — Opening We will be tbewing thilk panteeth, and that is final, lisped Miss McBride (Chris Wittgren) to Jane Cane Yothment) and Romona (Kathy Board).

NEDTs were given to grades 8, 9 and 10 on a voluntary basis. Various other tests were given throughout the school year including ASVAB, PSAT, NMSQT and competency tests. The five minutes between classes gave students an opportunity to exchange the latest gossip. Health teacher, Mrs. Beamer, may need first aid also.

Cheerblock never kept a steady num- ber, but there were always at least 80, a sizeable increase from last year’s 20. There were people who strove to be better and excelled in everything they did. Karen Ken- ning won Junior Miss and competed in Frank- fort at the end of January. She was one of the twelve finalists and won a $100 savings bond for her performance in the talent competition. Becky Watson was crowned Homecoming queen and Rick Kruit, king. The new craze in games was Dungeons and Dragons. It was initiated in the school by Rich- ard Solberg, Dave Patchin, Jim Hudspeth, and Devin Dodge. It involved adult role playing and required cunning and a vast imagination. Many long hours by many people were what it took to make even the smallest of events hap- pen. Powerpuff, Spirit Week, theatrical per- formances, sports, ceremonies, and inductions involved many hours of practice and prepara- tions, but the banquets, awards and satisfaction of all make every hour worth it. The spirit soared especially high between the sophomores and the juniors during Spirit Week, but the sophomores held out and took the spirit jug for the second time in two years of high school. Hardwork, dedication, and just plain fun were what it took to make this year work. Opening — 5 Summer: because only the varsity squad was allowed to go, many junior varsity cheer- leaders said they felt left out. In spite of the fact only the varsity could attend, the girls worked on their enthusiasm and spirit. It paid off when they brought back the camp’s spirit stick as their reward. We worked on new cheers and we plan on using them in fu ture games,” Marcia McAllister said. For the first time in the summer months, students staged a play in the auditorium. “One Foot in Heaven” brought an average turnout. “I thought we did a good job considering our small budget,” commented Laura Nolan. We also got ourselves out of debt from the year before,” Mercedes Sheehy added. Money problems bring Mike Lueder and Joy Schreiber closer in time of need during the production of “One Foot in Heaven. A leaky roof causes Joy Schreiber (middle) to scramble for refuge under an umbrella while Mike Keegan (left) and Jim Yothment catch the seepage in their buckets. a new routine Summer can mean forgetting school or working at summer joos. For others, summer means impro ng oneself men- tally and physically. Scmie students go to camps to concentrate on these things alone. August 3-9 found six students at Ball State University with the intention of learning how to produce better year- books. During the day, workshoppejs went to classes and in the evening did home- work. However, this didn’t mean they couldn’t have a good time. Two awards were won by The KEY staff members; one to Sue Sikma for copy writing and another to Keith Koszut for design. But these weren’t the only students who went to camp. The pom pon girls traveled to Ball State, August 12-14. According to two of the five girls who attended, they learned five new routines. Lisa Jonason said she enjoyed the camp and had a great time, whereas Terry Huffnagle thought the camp was terrible. They didn’t spend enough time with the pom pon girls and not everyone took it seriously,” sne said. In June, Dave Patchin and Rich Sol- berg went to an all-sports camp at Pur- due University for six da ys. Both came home with awards. Out of 300 15-17 year- olds there, Dave won a first place and Rich won a third place in track competi- tions. “I had a good time and I’m plan- ning on going back next year, Solbert compiented. Another camp held at Purdue was the 4-H camp which Sue Sikma and Janet Bowyer attended. Not everyone in 4-H was eligible to go, however. During the year, 4-Hers received points for projects they completed. Upon reaching a point quota, a person qualified to attend. Farm Bureau paid for traveling expenses while 4-Hers paid the rest. Janet and Sue said they were glad for the experience the camp gave them, hoping they could put it to future use. Two wrestling camps attracted three students. Ken White went to camp Forest Springs, “I learned many things that will help my wrestling this year. I liked it so well I ' m returning next year,” he said. Bobby Barnes and Jeff Garritano attended a camp in Bloomington. “I enjoyed the camp and felt it was very beneficial, Bobby said. The varsity cheerleaders were able to go to camp, courtesy of the school. Yet, 8 — Summer activities Among the many pom pon girls who went camping at Ball State were Denise Dust, Lee Ann laconetti, Lisa Jonason, Terry Huffnagle and Carrie Gracz. The Pom Cats returned after claiming the camp ' s top award. Sue Sikma, Cheryl Huseman and Mercedes Sheehy take advantage of an infrequent break during the Ball State Journalism Workshops. The work- shop, largest in the nation, annually attracts over 1,000 students. Hours of organization and planning went into arranging this special 4-H camp picture. Janet Bowyer and Sue Sikma can be found on the top left edge of the clover. (The KEY is not responsbile for eye strain.) Summer activities — 9 For his first time, Reverend Farley con- ducts the ceremony of “ tying the knot.” The character he portrayed is Marryin ' Sam from Li ' l Abner. Dancers sign a lot; ‘tie the knot’ “Better late than never! The books being delayed not only upset the stu- dents but also the staff. It put us behind in the book coming up. So we were really relieved when the books finally came in,” commented Mer- cedes Sheehy, 1981 KEY editor. The yearbook dance was November 22. There was no live band because it would have been a waste of money. Students were more interested in looking through the books and having them signed. Some students did dance to taped music when most of their friends had finished signing. There were no complaints at the dance and almost everyone had a good time. Hopefully, the 1981 dance would return to September, along with the yearbooks. Mr. Frazier said he was certain this would happen. The hillbilly in everyone was noticeable at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Around the gym, students placed bales of hay, pumpkins and pitch forks to add some atmosphere. A friend of Miss Tara Jorgensen, student council sponsor, took pictures of couples upon request. Mr. Bruce Farley also married” students who felt like tying the knot. Mr. Dan Met- calf helped chaperone. “I didn’t have much problem stopping the students from playing ‘huggy-bear, kissy-face,” he said. There wasn’t a large turnout for the dance, but those hillbillies who did attend savored it like white lightning. 10 — Yearbook Sadie Hawkins Dances The Sadie Hawkins dance was a blessing in disguise; the happiness shows in the whites of their eyes. Andy Richart and Debbie Vann said that it was a night that they will never forget. Her clothes were ragged and her shoes were torn, but the look on her face was far from forlorn. Her name is Mrs. Uran, she said she had a good time, and that is the end of this beautiful rhyme. Ya ' ll might think they look like farmers but they ' re city folks at heart. Miss Jorgensen, Jim Hudspeth, Rich Solberg, Carrie Cracz, Tim Urbanski and Kelly Cody carry on the hillbilly tradition. Selena Scott brought her all-time sweet- heart to the Sadie Hawkins dance, hoping he wouldn ' t bring Sadie. Mrs. Brenda Farley stands and stares while the cameraman said, I didn ' t pay to get in, so who cares? Yearbook Sadie Hawkins Dances — 11 Spirit ’born again’ in five days Homecoming is a big event at any school. Having a spirit week before homecoming gave it a special mean- ing. Many students in every class par- ticipated in decorating class floats and halls. The halls were decorated over Thanksgiving weekend by members of each class. Students also showed spirit by dressing up for points toward the spirit jug for their classes. When students arrived Monday, the halls were a pleasant surprise. The freshman hall by the cafeteria remem- bered the captives in Iran with a big yellow ribbon. The sophomore hall was located in the west wing. Class members who decorated this hall used bright colors that really caught the eye. By the girls bathroom, a toilet was placed with a sign saying “flush- ’em.” The junior hall extended from the lobby to the north commons. The class of ‘82 incorporated the Muppets into their hallway decorations. The graduating class of ’81 selected songs by Journey and AC DC to por- Also dressing for school colors day are sen- iors Lisa O ' Brien (top), Mary Anderson (bottom), and Mary Kozlowski (right).

They caught all eyes with a large sign that said Hallway to Hell.” Every day was different for dress- ing up. Monday was 50’s day, featur- ing greased hair, ponytails, leather jackets, skirts, bobbysocks, and rolled up jeans. Tuesday was kiddie day and Doctor Dentons were a common sight. Several guys decided to go back to their infant days and wore diapers. They were called to the office to see if shorts were underneath. Bibs and bonnets, toys, stuffed animals, baby bottles and lollypops helped create the impression of little kids. It was an experience never to be forgotten. The day was full of laugh- ter, said Monica Sisney. Cowboy day had students wearing boots, vests, hats, and fringed pants. Many students carried guns and sported tinsel sheriff badges on their shirts. A few stick horses were also Occupation day was a huge success. Kim Funk as a belly dancer, Gaythee Young as a nun and Sue Sikma as a baseball player are just a few of the many careers demon- strated on this day. seen herded to class. Thursday was occupation day which brought out plenty of doctors, nurses, and a few nuns. More exotic jobs included dancers, ladies of the night and a couple of transvestites. (Jim Hudspeth and Rich Solberg). Many of these costumes were original and never worn in any year before. This day was a joke,” said Barb O ' Dea. Barb took advantage of the occasion and dressed as a lady of the evening, with Chris Muelman as her escort.” Colors day was the final dressup day. The cheerleaders, pom pon girls, basketball and wrestlers players wore their uniforms. A couple of the stu- dents put food coloring in their hair. Because of having a perm, Mary Koz- lowski still had a red tint after the day was over. On Wednesday all student council members were sold in the slave auc- tion. The following day the slaves” Terry Watson, Tom Collins and Jim Yoth- ment, as well as the rest of the junior var- sity, were introduced during the pep assembly. 12— Spirit Week were required to obey (within reason) the commands of their newly acquired “masters. Kim Boling was sold for $17, the highest amount paid for a slave. Banana and pie eating contests, chug-a-lug, egg throwing, and the race of oranges were among the games held on Wednesday. Not many seniors signed up for the games, however, because they had jobs after school. Student council sold pies to be thrown at Mr. Joseph Fetty, Mr. Rob- ert Krol, and Mr. Greg Whitacre. There was a great demand for other teachers to get pies in their faces. Mr. Uhl and Miss Thomson were only two of the teachers who received such requests by the students. The slaves were painted-up and given signs to wear Thursday. Between classes the slaves carried their masters’ books to class while often arriving late to their own. Dur- ing lunchtime the slaves carried trays, danced with other slaves and sang songs. Also, there were races where the slaves pushed pennies with their noses. The parade on Friday was a rowdy affair. Only seniors were allowed to drive in the parade, even though some of the cars had obscenities on them. Judging the floats were Mrs. Barbara Santona, Mr. Jack Granger and Mr. James Nicholas. During the pep rally the winners of several competitions were announced. Mrs. Sue Roller, Mrs. Joan Uran and Mr. Bruce Farley, who judged the halls, selected the sopho- more corridor as the best. The juniors won second while the freshmen took third. Awards were also given to individu- als for best costume during dress-up days. For 50 ' s day, Rich Kubiak won first with his leather jacket outfit. There was a four way tie for first on kiddie day. Predictably, the diapered gentlemen took first, Joe Urbanski, Scott Claus, Tim Urbanski and Larry Suarez. Although Wednesday was cowboy day, it wasn ' t a cowboy that took first place, but rather a cowgirl; Joy McClymont. Taking first p lace for occupational day with her dancing display of balloons was Diana Hop- kins. On colors day, freshman, Eugene Griffith, took first. The sophomores had the highest percentage of students in costume for three days and the juniors, two. This added points to their totals for the spirit jug competition. Many students felt student council should have taken count of students dressed in first hour instead of going to the commons dur- ing lunch. There would have been a big change in scoring. Too many sen- iors leave early and couldn’t wait around to sign up,” said Tammy Col- lins. Scoring highest and taking first place in the float and games was the sophomore class. The juniors were second and the seniors third. The class of 1983 won the spirit jug for the second year in a row. “We really worked hard on winning it. We plan on keeping it until we graduate,” said Tina Reeder. On Saturday the student council members took down the hall decora- tions and placed them inside the gym. For the first time the hall decorations were not totally destroyed. There was only some minor damage when the balloons were popped in the freshman hall and the toilet was stolen from the sophomore hall. But overall, every- thing and everyone remained intact for the week. Joe Urbanski, fully dressed in blue and red, was one of the many students participating on colors day during spirit week. Lisa Dayberry, Sue Stasiuk, Valerie Neaves, Joan Goff and Nancy Potts rode their very own horses in the annual spirit week parade. Spirit Week — 13 A storybook finish After a week of students generating spirit, Homecoming ended with a dra- matic climax. It may have been a warm 60 degrees outside, but inside the gym, temperatures were rising. No one seemed to mind, though. They would witness a storybook finish. The junior varsity basketball team held the audience on edge through the fourth quarter of their game as Lowell’s Red Devils staged a furious rally to stun the Wildcats, 31-30. Lowell never led until the final sec- onds of the game. The varsity took their cue for excitement from the JV squad but managed to turn the tables on Lowell, 51-50, in a thrilling double overtime contest. It was also the first varsity victory of the season. At halftime of the varsity game, the girls chosen as class representatives were escorted into the Homecoming limelight. Representing the freshman class was Monica Sisney, who was escorted by Bobby Barnes. Sopho- mores Liz Steuer and escort Tim Jung received the cheers of their class when they took the floor. Finally, jun- ior representative Diane Urbanczyk was escorted by Steve Seils, a 1977 graduate. Candidates for Homecoming queen appeared on the floor last. Sandy Baacke, escorted by Greg Madouros, was in the ceremony for the fourth consecutive year. Kim Boling, who was a Junior Miss candidate, was escorted by Scott Seils, a 1980 Han- over graduate. Becky Watson, also a Junior Miss candidate, was escorted by senior Bob Blouin. Sue Harrison, known for her singing role in “Fiddler on the Roof,” was escorted by Steve Huppenthal, a 1979 graduate. The final candidate was Karen Kenning, winner of the Cedar Lake Junior Miss title, escorted by 1978 graduate Carl Jonason. After a brief picture taking session, the selection of Becky Watson as Homecoming queen was announced. Selection of Mr. Basketball honors was the final part of the evening’s cer- emony. Candidates for the title and their dates included Jeff Grant and Rose Agnello, Rick Kruit and Bev Hoeckelberg, Bill Torrence and Lee Ann Iaconetti, Karry Speichert and Cindy Stavem, and Joe Tanner and Karen Underwood. Rick Kruit walked off the floor with the title, selected by the student body. T-Swan” entertained a large crowd at the traditional Homecoming dance. The long basketball game caused the dance to be extended for an extra hour. It was a fitting end to what many people said was the best Homecoming week Hanover ever had. Mr. Basketball candidate joe Tanner and bis date Karen Underwood practice for the introduction of Mr. Basketball candidates. Free throws made the difference because the game was so close. Jeff Grant adds one to the score. The game was as close as this jump ball between Rick Kruit and a Lowell oppo- nent. Kruit and Kurt Kenning, guards, scored 10 and 6 points respectively. Center Jeff Grant, had 7 points. Forwards Karry Speichert and Bill Torrence netted 4 and 19 points. 14 — Spirit Week Bill Torrence Lee Ann Iaconetti Mr. Basketball candidate and date.

Spirit Week — 15 16 — Opening of school Like many other students, Debbie Burandt and Leroy York adjusted to the newly- enforced hands-off policy. Scott Gross and Sherry Peck dig through the locker to find their books before the tardy bell sounds. Every story has a beginning, middle and end. Our story begins with . . . significant changes Our first change was starting school in August going a full day. On the first day back the school looked the same, but behind the scenes there were new principals, a new superintendent and the stronger enforcement of rules Teachers commented on the change in students. According to some instructors, the students had a better attitude toward school, their work and each other. Parents were previously upset and complained to the school about not enforcing the school rules. Because of these complaints, Mr. Fetty and Mr. Shuler revised and reinforced the rules. Faculty and students were then brought up to date on the changes. For a very short time early in the ear, students were allowed to smoke ehind the school building. According to Mr. Fetty, “Hanover students not only smoked back on the field, but During class the commons are quiet enough for resting as demonstrated by Terry Potts. smuggled-in bottles of booze, drugs and pot. Removing the field as a smoking area removes these problems. Also, it gives the student the incentive to quit smoking and for those who don ' t, not to start, he added. Pressure on students to arrive on time increased, too. As Mr. Fetty explained, “It will give the students a bigger responsibility. It also brings you into the habit of arriving on time to work. Because of a few students standing very close, kissing each other and not bothering to come up for air, visitors formed a bad impression of the school. A “hands-off” policy was added and strictly enforced. Many students returned to school with mixed feelings. Some were glad to have something to do during the day. Others had to quit jobs, but mostly, everyone had the same sad feeling: summer was over. I’m glad summer is over,” Tom Lueder countered, because now I can become involved in school activities again.” Some freshmen were excited about the change from junior high to high school. Keith Koszut said, however, Everytime I saw a back-to-school sale, I had a feeling of dread. I wouldn’t come to school to register, my mom did.” At 7:35, Mr. Metcalf opens the gate to let students stampede through. Opening of school — 17 I like to see girls wearing nice tight Jordache jeans,” commented Marty Patz. Styles change slowly but when an idea hits the market everyone has to have that product. Designer jeans hit big for guys and girls. For $40, the price you would pay for two pairs of Levis, you could have a pair of jeans made by Jordache, Calvin Klein, Sas- soon or Gloria Vanderbilt. “Jean’s are not the only things that carry these name brands. Shirts, sweaters, belts, purses, and socks also have consumers paying a high price just for a name,” commented Jill Zim- merman. The western look was back, too. Cowboy boots and hats were worn for the casual appearance. Vest and waist length jackets helped build the image. Levis, painters pants and overalls were a common sight in the halls. No matter what the fashion is or what everyone wears, Levis are and will be the main thing,” Kim Boling said. Corn rows came with the movie 10” and stayed, along with braids, beads, and feathers. Long hair was out for guys. Many kept their hair short. No longer could guys and girls be con- fused because of both wearing long hair. Although punk rock and new wave made an impact on the music scene, good ol’ rock’n roll was still very pop- ular. Some of the best groups appeared in the area, which helped keep billfolds on a diet. “The atmosphere was full of excite- ment and expectations which lasted throughout the concert,” said Jeff Plant. Black and Blue, October 1, a sellout, was one of the concerts that started off the year. REO appeared at the Amphitheater February 11, 13, 14, and 15. Students waited in line for four consecutive weekends waiting for tickets. Many were disappointed because all tickets were sold out in less than an hour. (REO’s) concert wasn’t the only sell out. Many students swarmed to buy Rush tickets. On the movie scene “Airplane” and “Stir Crazy” were two hot satires that drew huge crowds. “Private Benja- min,” J’Blues Brothers” and “Caddy Shack” were heldover to supply the demand. A new offer in entertainment came via the airwaves when Chicago’s Channel 44 introduced pay television. First-run movies and sports were the primary advantages for signing up for the service. It was expensive but far cheaper than taking a family to the show. Fast food restaurants remained a big hit all over the U. S. Everything from hamburger joints to chicken stands were changed to meet the pub- lic’s demand for a restaurant atmos- phere. Many students found a new feature, the drive-up window, con- venient for grabbing a fast meal on their way to and from work. Competing with Certified and all other major grocery stores, the little producer has to offer its customers good service and low prices, or go out of business. With the cost of food, generic products are sold at most food stores. Most cut-rate stores offered only canned and boxed goods, while some, like Way-Low, offered some perishable items as well. 18 — Feature page n .

Unleaded and regular gasoline prices immediately went up nearly five cents a gallon at all service stations. Home heating oil was also affected, although supplies remained plentiful all winter. No, it’s not the Great American Indian. It’s Carrie Gracz using beads and feath- ers to decorate her hair. Combs and braids were also popular for hairstyl- ing. For those customers who don ' t care to leave their cars, most fast food restau- rants offer drive-thru service for those in a hurry. If there was a long line of cars, however, it was usually just as fast to order inside ( minus the fumes). Features page — 19 A musical prelude hushed the crowd as they heard “ Cedar Lake ' s Junior Miss is . . . Karen Kenning. ” The judges clearly proved they placed emphasis on excellence “I was thrilled! 1 can’t really describe the feeling, but it was great!,” was Karen Kenning ' s reaction when asked about win- ning. 1 guess when I won it was like a dream come true. Junior Miss is a pageant based more on scholastic grades and personality than on poise and appearance, which is why there is no swim suit competition.

Inflation shrinks Turnabout With tight schedules and even tighter budgets, Turnabout was not as popular as it once was. Because of this, many juniors and seniors just planned on attending the prom instead. “I ' m going to prom so why go to Turnabout? said Jeff Plant. He said going to both dances was just too expensive. Others, however, ignored the finan- cial costs, to capitalize on the social dividends. I like Turnabout. It gives everyone a chance to dress up and go in style. Also, I like the idea of asking the guy because guys are shy about dances, commented Connie Wheeler. The attendance should have been higher. If everyone would attend, then there would be more fun,” said Mrs. Julie Westerholf, dance sponsor. In the traditional ceremony, Becky Watson was crowned queen, Becky’s courts included Sandy Baacke, Amber Blouin, Nancy Burnhardt and Janet Bowyer. I was very proud of my Becky for being nominated, for when she had won, words could not be expressed. So I kissed her!” said Bob Blouin. The band was liked but had one dis- appointing factor.

Larry Hughbanks remarked, “It was okay, if they would have played more slow music.” Jim Hudspeth added, It was pretty good, but it could have been better.” The kids were dressed beautifully and acted accordingly. Very well behaved. I wouldn’t mind chaperon- ing again,” said Mrs. Dawn Patchin. Sophomore Lisa Dayberry and date Kent Hadden enter into the room of excitement. 22 — Turnabout Slow dancing was a favorite of many cou- ples including Jamie Schrieber and her date Tom Krebs.

Turnabout — 23 ( 6 Guinea 5 5 pigs test Gift Mill Fund raising began with a new all- school sales program, with every student acting as a guinea pig. All carried cata- logs and order forms to prospective cus- tomers and left them over night. The cus- tomers would then look them over and order what they wanted. The “guinea pig (student) picked it up the next day. The idea behind this was to earn enough money so classes, clubs, and organizations would not have to have a lot of little fund raisers. Many students expressed definite opinions on the success of the Gift Mill project. “I think it’s stupid, said Jayme Schreiber, My Gift Mill things sat in my locker and rotted,” Richard Solberg said. “I think it’s stupid. Why can’t we sell M Ms instead?” asked Cindy Pointer. There were some problems,” explained Mr. Fetty. “Having brothers and sisters and everyone in the neighbor- hood selling the same thing at the same time, did cause some problems. According to Mr. Fetty, the school will try the same plan of selling in future years. However there will be some changes, for one, only the classes that need the money will participate. The profits will be divided between them. Having the Gift Mill sales didn’t partic- ularly mean there were not any other fund raising activities. Miss Linda Beard had a few car washes for the purchase of uniforms and registration fees for the swing choir to enter contests. The ath- letic boosters had raffles at all the home games and other activities to raise money for uniforms and equipment for our ath- letes. The band boosters also helped the band with raising money for uniforms and instruments. The sophomore class had its annual magazine sale, to raise money for prom. The magazines and records were sold for two weeks. Prizes were awarded to top sellers. Mr. Norman Backus, magazine salesman, explains to the sophomore class how to win prizes selling magazines. The sophomore class listens intently while Norman Backus tells how to fill out a maga- zine or record order form. 24 — Money Makers Just a sample of the money made from the new Gift Mill sales plan is pictured here with the booklet containing the money making items. A wave of approval comes from Mr. Rick Uhl, for the success of the athletic department on the annual fruit sale. Money Makers — 25 The only football game of the year brought plenty of: Jammed fingers bruised bodies and broken nails Practice for powderpuff went on for several weeks for both the seniors and the juniors. Recruiting managers, team members and coaches was only part of the preparation. Learning the plays, choosing uniforms and cheer- leaders was also part of the fun. Mr. Brindley, who was a senior class sponsor, was the coach for the junior class. Mr. Brindley, in all fair- ness, had the right to manage the jun- iors but many seniors felt otherwise. “We felt that Mr. Brindley did the senior class injustice by not being our coach and yet he sponsors our class. He wouldn’t be our coach because he said ‘he didn ' t want to be on a losing team. ' We showed him, because actu- ally we didn’t work that hard, and his juniors worked their tails off,” said Quarterback Mary Anderson, receives the snap to start the play. The seniors rallied late to tie the game, 7-7. Tammy Collins. Mr. Metcalf was the manager for the senior class. Mr. Rajchel even stopped by and gave Mr. Metcalf some ideas on the plays to be used. Paul Erickson, Scott Parks, Tim Crow- ley and Glen Caulk helped coach the girls. There were 25 juniors on the team even though not all of them played. They said they planned on winning at all costs. Nearly every guy and girl was involved even if cheering their team on to victory was the only thing they did. Everyday for 2 Vi weeks Mr. Brindley made the girls practice, try- ing to make a winning team. The first game was cancelled, however, on account of rain. Disap- pointment was strong. Many students wanted to play rain or shine. The rain date, two days later, was sunny but cold. The game was played as stu- dents froze fingers and fannys while With the seniors in close pursuit, Selena Scott makes her way down the football field. watching the annual affair. “Winning isn ' t always everything but having fun is. I enjoyed the game. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, commented Deanna Durham. As for the injuries, there was only one in the game. Karen McMillioij hurt her knee in which a foul was called on the juniors. Practice, how- ever, took a heavier toll. Selena Scott left practice one night with a black eye after a collision with Nicky Bur- gess. The game ended in a tie score of 7-7. No overtime was played because the buses were waiting to take the stu- dents home. “I’m glad it was a tie even though I wish we would have won, Selena Scott said. “I guess it’s best for every- one. That way everyone comes out a winner. 26 — Powderpuff Football To aid the faculty in time of need was Mrs. Geritol, alias Mrs. Mickey Hasse. Mrs. Sharon “Fuzzy Cataldi helped, too.

Paul Erickson, a senior player, reasoned “I felt that the outcome of the game should have been better. But due to the fact that coaches are also considered faculty, we didn’t have much of a chance. He also men- tioned that the team only had a couple of practices. Mr. Arden Smith admitted the seniors kept him from doing his best. I would have played a lot better but Todd Uran’s tough defense kept me from scoring.” According to Mr. Smith, “It was fun to play. It made me feel young again.” Even with all this to back up the team, the seniors lost, 30-43. The 1981 annual senior-faculty game was a suc- cess according to Mr. Granger. “It was a financial success for the National and Junior National Honor Societies. It was also a success for the whole school, because it was played in a true sportsman spirit. They were out there to play and win, not to revenge.” Tickets and concessions brought in $400. Plans for this money included the purchase of certificates and pens. It also helped pay for the induction ceremony and service work. Intense concentration and skill would have helped Mr. John Brindley, but he missed the free throw attempt. Doug Robinson searches for someone to pass the ball to. The other seniors searched for a victory, in vain. There was no stopping John Holeman from getting this shot. Mr. Farley and Scott Parks could only wait to rebound. Senior Faculty Basketball — 27 If a student is caught eating in class, they have to throw away their munchies. Some teachers make you throw away your munchies whether you are eating them or not. Students hurry between classes, going to their lockers, talking to their friends, and at the same time going to the candy machines. There are two machines in the north commons from which students can buy munchies. But are they getting their moneys worth? Prices are mostly going up instead of going down. The average price of a candy bar is 30 cents. But for that 30 cents you don’t get much because the bar is continually shrinking. The candy bars that are most commonly sold are Payday, Choco Lite, Heath, Hershys, and assorted mints. They also have a “Guess What” for those who don’t care what they eat. The potato chip machine is next to the candy machine. For 25 cents you can have your choice of any various snacks, from pop-corn to corn chips. And for big spenders, 40 cents brings Zingers, dan- ishes, Ding Dongs, Suzy Qs and Koo Koos are only some of the cakes sold. The machines are closed during third hour and aren’t open until fifth hour. Federal regulations prompted such restrictions to encourage students to buy a hot lunch. The pop machines were rarely opened because the students had a problem with leaving the cans on the ground and taking pop cans on the bus. The school also made a profit on the Borrowing money is one of the most common things done near the candy machines. Dawn Scott and Cheryl Huseman discuss the outra- geous prices of candy bars. 28 — Feature machines. Every three months the school received a check and the money was divided between the organizations. There were problems related to the machines, however. The machines took the money but refused to fork-over the goods. The school would not refund the money. Victims names were put on a list and, hopefully, the money would eventu- ally be returned. But the office rarely sees the munchkin who maintains the machines. There have been a few occa- sions where no candy was placed in a slot. When the knob was pulled, nothing came out. Then there were times when they put the wrong candy in the wrong slot and what came out was not a “Guess What?” but rather, a genuine “surprise!” Yet, in spite of the risks, fast food always won out over the growling stom- ach. With the tardy bell just seconds away, the Zingers zinged, the Koo-Koos kooked, the Pepsi pepped and the epi- demic of five minute munchies ended for one more hour. fill Zimmerman and Andy Richart need a Coke and a smile to keep their days going.

V X Monica Sisney and Jeff Plant take a casual break from the dance floor. They were among over 40 couples attending. Although dancing was the major activity of the evening, Sandy Baacke was later named to the 1981 Prom Court. Her escort for the social event of the year is Greg Madorous. Sandy was also named to the 1980 Basketball Homecoming Court. 30 — Prom Jim Harper dances to the beat of Ice Age during a fast song. The band , from Indian- apolis, auditioned by tape.

Prom — 31 Making the choice A large number of people don’t vote, and most claim that’s because they believe their vote isn’t going to count. Some voters said they were afraid of making the wrong choice or they couldn ' t make up their minds about who to vote for. It’s my duty to vote. Then if I don’t like the results, I have no one else to blame but myself,” comments Mrs. Judy Lueder, school bookkeeper. Quite a few students voted, but many complained they didn’t know enough about the can- didates. I just divided them equally, not even knowing who 1 was voting for, half Dem- ocrats and half Republicans,” said Sally Fink, student. Many people have a lot of trouble deciding who to vote for. There is a lot of information published about every can- didate. “Personally, I watch all the con- ventions, read the papers, magazine arti- cles, listen and watch editorials. I look into their past records and listen to thei r promises. Then 1 compare everything and decide, Mrs. Betty Wilkerson, coun- selor. Before the elections many classes held debates about each presidential candi- date. Miss Ann Thompson held debates in her economics class, while Mr. Rick Uhl held mock elections. In both debates and elections, Ronald Reagan won. This helped students decide who to vote for and why. Later, students said they felt the age limit should be lowered. “Everyone in high school that wants to vote should get to, said Gaythee Young. The future is ours.” Barb O’dea added, Why do I wish I could vote? Because I know who I will vote for and I know that everyone’s vote counts.” One of Hanover Township’s election polls were moved to the school’s auto shop for the first time. Balloting had pre- viously taken place at the Knights of Columbus hall, but according to election officials, the KC raised the rent from $35 to $75. The Democratic Organization would not subsidize the difference. Before the election was over President Carter conceded Ronald Reagan. Reagan won by an electoral landslide; a surpris- ing twist considering the news media predicted a close race.

Bits and pieces of clay, construction paper, and unused negatives littered the floors. Photography and art had their own “homey” feelings. Photography involved direct work with the tools needed to become a quality photographer. Students took a variety of pictures such as candids, horizontal and vertical subjects. The film was developed, contact sheets were made and, along with photogra- phy instructor Mr. John Shipley, the work was critiqued. Special effects and color photos were studied during the second semester. New teacher Miss Margaret Bean and Mrs. Sharon Cataldi made up the art department. Here, creativity thrived as students chose self-made designs for six-weeks projects. In advanced art classes students painted their own designs approved by the teacher on wall sections throughout the school. Amidst other activity , Rich Kubiak touches-up a painting project as Mrs. Cataldi critiques in 3rd hour art class. Tim Crowley emerges from the dark room carrying a strobe light.

It must be run four years; the graduation gauntlet. Diagramming, themes and term papers were major requirements in the freshman classes, taught by Mr. Gary Young. Most found that his sto- ries and teaching methods made the hours more interesting. Mr. Mike Frazier, Mr. Steve Landis and Mr. Gene Rajchel were in charge of the English 10-11 classes. Although no term paper was required, the novel unit and “Julius Caesar” provided enough challenge for sophomores and juniors. Mr. Young also handled English 12 and senior English. Most students did a senior project. A variety of things were done since they did not have to relate directly to English. Also, an oral exam was given to seniors in the spring. English — 39 Combining skills sometimes means additional agony What could be more ironic? It is a fact that under- standing math is necessary to work successfully in any of the industrial arts courses. Math was probably one of the most confusing sub- jects, yet, it was one of the most vital. Almost every job required some kind of mathematical knowledge. One choice students had included the advanced courses of algebra, geometry, algebra 2 and senior math with Mrs. Mary Love or new teacher, Mrs. Millie Postma. The other was basic math with Mr. Bruce Farley or Mrs. Mrs. Postma arrived to teach basic math and an algebra I course. A favorite among shop students, woodshop was taught by Mr. Holmes. Tony Pierce and Doug Fortner drill holes for a machine mount. 40 — Math and Industrial Arts P ostma. Either choice was challenging for students due to the natural difficulty of math. On the other hand there were the industrial arts. Filled with the maximum number of students, the popu- lar shops allowed creativity plus work with various machinery and tools. Woodshop with Mr. Norman Holmes was favored, but graphic arts, metals and draft- ing also had large enrollments. Two additions to the industrial arts department ena- bled the school to offer graphic arts and metals after the previously dormant year. Mr. Arden Smith took over the graphic arts courses while Mr. John Lee supervised metals students. Unfortunately, these additions did not include an auto mechanics instructor so this class remained unavailable for a second straight year. Dean Kralek inquires about his assignment while Bill Troy peeks over for a few hints of his own. The drafting classes were taught by Mr. John Shipley.

A difference, though, was the absence of the business law course. Mrs. Susan Rudy began the year teaching consumer education in the place of Mrs. Helen Palasz. But, after a few weeks she resigned due to personal reasons. Mrs. Joan Uran held the fort for the rest of the semester until the arrival of Mrs. Martha Ann Jarrett in the second.

The constant click-clack of typewriter keys came from room 15, where typing 1, business machines and office practice lessons took place. They were taught by Mr. William Whitestine, who was also chairman of the business department. The big city department was rough, and those who made it through had a sense of achievement. But the outside world will be worse, and all one can do is remember — that’s life. Mr. Whitestine starts the stopwatch for one of many timed writings.

Scheduling classes wasn’t fun, in fact it was almost painful. Somehow, the list of classes ran long on required courses and short on electives. Of course there were the horror stories about students trapped for years in classes they couldn’t possibly live through, (although reports of deaths of this nature had never been conclusive).

It sounded terrible then, but some took the plunge and found foreign languages weren’t all that bad. Spanish was the more popular of the two foreign tongues offered. All of the sort were taught by Mr. Jack Granger, who was also department chairman. Although a trip to Mexico did not take place, many students looked toward next year with anticipation.

Sure, other teachers of other subjects heard simi- lar complaints, but this question has been asked for nearly as long as the dawn of history itself. To some, history was a stagnant col- lection of names, dates and places no one ever heard of. How could this be relevant? How could this be interest- ing? How could this be important to our lives after high school? The fact is, 1981 echoed with histor- ical parallels. A new American presi- dent was inaugurated and nearly assassinated.

Suddenly, instead of a quiet ending, the chairs seemingly collapsed from under the players, tumbling a mass of brass and pieces of percussion to the floor.

Although the same number of concerts were put on as last year, several new twists were tried such as the chairs trick and others such as tuba player Larry Suarez pulling a stuffed skunk out of his instrument. Presenta- tions included one at Jane Ball School, the annual NIS- BOVA competition and others at the high school.

They had a knack for get- ting into trouble and passing the blame. 54 — Life With Mother Superior After the arrival of Jane and Mary, Mother Superior and Sister Angela decide how to handle the pair. The gym teacher, Miss Connelly (Vykke Young), arrives at the train station to pick up the new girls and take them back to St. Marks. The first of their adventures was sneaking into the cloister. They arranged tours and charged a quarter a person to see the forbidden rooms. But when they ' re about to be caught, they ditch the group and retreat via the fire escape. After this blows over, Mary takes up sculpting and decides to do a mask of Marvel Ann (Wendy Whitka- nack). After Jane talks her into doing it, the mask doesn’t come off and Sister Angela (Mercedes Sheehy) catches them in the act. The girls from the academy discuss which band will win the band contest, St. Marks or St. Marys. But to backfire their antics, Mother Superior (Patty Neary) stayed close and was always there to know what was going on and who was doing it. The play had only two male roles, played by Tom Lueder and Shawn Sheehy. “It was a fun play to do and I enjoyed doing it,” said Shawn Sheehy, student direc- tor.

Pro- fessor Warren ' s assistant, Stephen Bice (Frank Solyom), leaves with Mrs. Oates who is going to get ether for Mrs. War- ren. Helen (Gaythee Young) watches them leave with some concern. Mystery returns in double — ‘Spiral’ The hardest part of the play was building the sets, mostly the staircase,” explained Jim Yothment, set designer. The staircase took the majority of the building time. It was constructed of plumbing pipes and fittings assembled together so they formed a spiral. The bed- room for Mrs. Warren was also a problem. It had to be built so it didn ' t block the view of anyone in the audi- ence and it needed a scrim wall so attention wouldn’t be drawn to it when there was no action pertaining to it. 56 — The Spiral Staircase There ' s been another murder, said the constable (Tom Lueder). Mrs. Oates (Joy McClymont) is worried because Helen hasn ' t come home yet. The scrim wall alone cost $200.00. “The Spiral Staircase” was a first in Hanover history. There were only a small amount of characters in the play. To keep more people involved, the play was dou- ble-casted, two people were cast for each part. The Spiral Staircase” was the first mystery put on at Hanover since “Mousetrap in October of 1977. The play involved a series of murders on girls with physical handicaps who weren’t able to defend them- selves. The next target was Helen (Gaythee Young Kathy Wachowiak) a companion to Mrs. Warren, (Patty Neary Evelyn Kielman), stepmother to the head of the house, Professor Warren (Jim Yothment). In the chilling last scene Professor Warren is exposed as the murderer. But before h e can kill Helen, Mrs. War- ren pulls out a gun and murders him first.

April, 1981. Again the same situation, but the cast and crew pulled through. The only postponement was the matinee. The “Sound of Music”made it to the stage on schedule. But it wasn’t easy. Many minor things seemed to go wrong; sickness, late shipments of supplies, and differences between the cast and crew. But all of that was overcome and the play went on according to its reg- ular schedule. The sets were challenging to make and move,” said Sue Sikma, who worked backstage. It took an estimated $3,000 to $4,000 to put on the play and as many or more man-hours of work. The sets were more elaborate than any other produc- tion.

Everything was handmade from scratch including the chandelier, which was made from beads strung on wire, shaped and strung from the lid of a garbage can. As an added problem, there wasn ' t enough room for all of the sets backstage once they were built. Some props and sets had to be placed out- side or in the hallway. Costume making was another major time consuming activity. All of the seven children’s outfits and the nuns’ habits were put together by Mrs. Dorothy Tortorici and Mrs. Patricia Huseman. They also made many altera- tions and add-ons to costumes for most of the other characters. Publicity for “Sound of Music” was greater than ever before. Posters were made by the cast and fliers were distributed. Advertisements were placed in the area newspapers, many with pictures of the cast. Several radio stations also carried announcements. The singing parts required many extra hours of the cast and Miss Linda Beard, choral director. When there were no practices on stage, there was singing practice in the choral room. Lunch hours and classtime were also sacrificed to get it just right. “For all the work and what togetherness we had, we did good,” commented Cheryl Huseman. The production involved a large cast, crew and the help of parents and businesses in the community. “Although getting the cast and crew to work together as a family seemed an impossible task, with much effort, pleading and a lot of prayer, the last two per- formances showed a high percentage of the desired togetherness, concluded Mr. Gary Young, director.

When the KEY staff walked into the room on the first day of school, their heads were full of ideas on con- structing the best Hanover yearbook to date. But then it was discovered that Newsfoto, the school’s publishing company, had lost 20 pages from the book to be deliv- ered that fall. A three-week delay was suffered as the pages were redone. When the books finally arrived, the yearbook dance was held, in November, more than two months late. As if this wasn’t enough, three staffers moved after a month of school and three others during the course of the year, dropped out. This left the staff with only eleven members although Mike Bieber often helped out 60 — Publications Mr. Arden Smith inspects one of the printing machines in the print shop.

Required before joining either the yearbook or news- paper classes, the journalism class was given the task of making up the junior high yearbook. But, a shortage of sales financially forced the class to scale the book down to a magazine format. Designed for approximately forty pages, it was to come out before the end of the year, but several problems with printing delayed the publication until the beginning of the next school year. Publications — 61 The awards nights were both serious and fun for most. In short It’s two for the show. After long months of difficult work, the staffs of the three publications gathered to enjoy a meal and a guest presentation at the annual journalism banquet. The eve- ning was enjoyable despite the fact that the editors of both the KEY and the REVONAH were not there due to sixth-grade camp duties. With a meal featuring lemonade as the main beverage over, Terry Burhans, the guest speaker from Channel 5, gave his presentation on the station and his job as a weatherman. This included a slide show which even presented his two dogs as an integral part of his job. Finally, it was time for awards, both real and joke. Mercedes Sheehy won the award for best actress awarded at the Thespian Ban- quet. Mercedes received the honor for her leading role in The Sound of Music. Jill Zimmerman and Gay- thee Young listen to Mr. Burhan ' s presentation. Donna Eastling gladly presents an award to Dave Grooms the Howdie Doodie Look-Alike award. 62 — Journalism Thespian Awards Mike Bieber received four best picture awards includ- ing one which was the best picture of the year. He also captured the “Advisor’s Award,” along with being named editor of next year’s REVONAH. Appointed yearbook editor, Sue Sikma received the Most Valua- ble Staffer” award. Yearbook photographer Jeff Plant was awarded the best feature photo award. A new award honoring the year’s best general news story was presented to Rose Agnello for a recap on 1980. To David Grooms went “The Rising Star Award for having the most potential journalistic talent. Keith Koszut was given the Pilcher award for excellence in writing. The entire KEY staff was awarded the Times’ scholastic journalist plaque. Additionally, 11 Hanover students were included into the Quill and Scroll Society. At the Thespian banquet about fifteen people were inducted. The awards for the best minor characters went to Tom Lueder and Mary Jane Yothment while the best supporting actor and actress awards went to Shawn Sheehy and Cindy Troy. Jim Yothment won the best actor award for his part in “The Sound of Music. Guest speaker Terry Burhans shows meteorog- ical maps to the audience. 63 Keith Koszut, editor A seventh hour? To most students the thought of an extra class in the day would seem unbearable. But what if the additional “class concerned something you liked to do? Organizations provided an enjoyable release for people with special interests and talents. Before the year began. Hanover boasted roughly seven organizations; the two honor In the play Life With Mother Superior, Sister Angela (Mer- cedes Sheehy). catches Mary (Joy McClymont), snooping within the convent. societies, chess and speech teams, student council, swing choir and Thespians. These seven, however, did not involve a great por- tion of the student body. During the year, however, interest in form- ing organizations received a shot in the arm. The Maranatha Club was put together by several students interested in Bible study. A The annual ski trip sponsored by the student council and the new ski and outdoor club encouraged skiing to become more popular among Hanover students. 64 — Organizations Divider ski and outdoor club was formed, although unable to accomodate a large membership yet. A club involving the popular fantasy game “Dungeons and Dragons” was sug- gested, but lack of planning and a sponsor halted it short of becoming a reality. The idea still shows potential for the future and also is a step forward in student interest in organiza- tions in conjunction with the school. These extra-curricular events and services helped to enlighten both the school and the community. Because of this and the time put in. organizations are certainly a part of our story and our look. Student motivation and initiation was only a part of what it took . . . Organizations Divider — 65 The show must go on Through rain, sleet and snow the honor societies and student council carried on. On a frigid, icy day in mid-February, students were thrilled to hear that school was called off. But what of the National Honor Society induction ceremony sched- uled for that evening? A decision was reached; the show must go on.

Student Council singers and embarrassed recipients alike struggled through semi-musical verses all day. 66 — Honor Societies Student Council and junior Jim Yothment were inducted into the ranks of the honor society. Yet with this hectic beginning, NHS managed to introduce new activities to the school. Besides sponsor- ing the annual senior-faculty game, the group made and displayed morale posters throughout the school, with sayings such as: Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” Individuals were featured in the south commons as “Someone You Should Know.” Also, the Christmas food drive was held. On a day with much better weather, the National Jun- ior Honor Society inducted some twelve seventh and eighth graders. Their food drive also was accomplished with the expert help of sponsor Mrs. Darlene Geek. President Karen Kenning, Vice President Tom Lueder, Secretary Mary Wicker and Treasurer Katrina Boling, along with more than ten other student council mem- bers, spearheaded the annual blood drive which topped the previous year’s mark. To the delight of members, meetings were held on Mondays during a different hour each week. Through this method events could be ade- quately planned like the spirit week competition. Student council member Kelly Cody discusses the blood drive with donor Mrs. Cody. Enthusiasm enabled the student council to top last year ' s mark by more than ten pints. Student Council Honor Societies — 67 Though an organization, the ski and outdoor club was created as A whole new sport After several years of dormancy, interest in clubs sparked in the form of the Ski and Outdoor Club. Spon- sored by Mr. Mike Frazier, a small group of students arranged to get together to ski in the winter, fish, canoe and hike in warmer weather. Although no skiing was done due to very little snow and the fact that the club was started too late in the year, one trip was made to Potato Creek State Park near South Bend to fish and canoe. Unfortunately, the club could not handle a large number of members but hoped to expand in the future. Sponsor Mike Frazier sets to heave the canoe into the icy water of Potato Creek as Mike Bieber boards the boat and Sue Sikma waits patiently. The water in Mike Bieber ' s boot spills out. Unfortunately, nothing was caught, the water was too cold; ‘The fish were in deep wa ter, ’ ’ said Mike Bieber. Ski and Outdoor Club: Bottom; Mike Bieber, Sue Sikma, LeRoy York and Debbie Burandt.

Usually more than ten students gathered in Mr. Dan Metcalf’s science room to compete with each other or challenge Mr. Metcalf, their sponsor, to a match. Five of the best players were chosen for the team that competed with other schools, finishing with a record of Jim Yothment freezes his rook for a moment, deciding whether to take Mr. Metcalf ' s pawn or retreat to a safer position. five wins and five loses, capturing a trophy for their first-place win in the Hebron Invitational, plus finishing eighth of eighteen teams in regional matches.

Several meets were held at other schools with the team doing fairly well. Guidance and pointers were provided by sponsor Mr. Gene Rajchel. With only one member grad- uating, the future for the team looked good, with six of seven members able to return to the team.

We did have some problems, namely people missing practices and displaying poor attitudes.” As a result, Mr. Whitacre suspended the whole team for one day and they forfeited a match. This made them realize Coach Whitacre wasn’t kidding around. As a result the teams’ attitude got a lot better. Rick Kruit, Tom Collins, Geoff Deinema, Dan Norris, and Mike Perrin were the five returning lettermen. Brian Sharp, Dan Travis, and Terry Watson completed the team roster as first year players. Rick Kruit and Tom Collins improved on their serves tremendously,” stated Coach Whitacre. “Dan Norris was a steady baseline player whose volleying has shown a marked improvement.” Also, playing doubles, Todd Uran and Terry Watson teamed up and worked well together. Dan Travis and Brian Sharp improved ther playing by much experience. Geoff Deinema played in the number one doubles and came through for the team with Mike Per- rin. Receiving special awards were Rick Kruit as “Most Improved” player, and Terry Watson the “Mental Atti- tude” award. Overall the team has shown a marked improvement. The team’s ‘net worth’ has risen, there’s no doubt about it,” concluded Coach Whitacre. Being the number one player of the team meant showing leadership by Rick Kruit. This helped Rick earn the “.

The Few; The Proud One of two seniors, foe Wohlgemuth returned for his last year to earn a well-deserved varsity letter. This time, though, the distance was stretched to 5,000 meters. The cross country team stumbled through a long season of defeats, gaining only three dual wins. With a small team of eight, they had only two seniors, Leroy York and Joe Wohlgemuth. Neither had ever seen varsity action. After receiving his varsity letter Joe Wohlgemuth said, “Let’s face it. We were not good, but we tried. We tried hard. One reason we’re not good is because there isn’t enough of us. Cross country is the toughest sport at Han- over and everyone knows it. That’s why out of some 450 students, only eight went out. I was one of those eight,” Joe continues, “and 1 proba- bly wouldn’t do it again because it hurts — a lot. We had a good time, though, probably because we couldn’t let losing get us down or we would never get back up.” One valid reason for the team’s losses was the change of distance in the course from 2.5 miles to 5,000 meters (3.1 miles). “They did not know quite how to run it at first but they are starting to learn when to make their moves ... I guess you could say it’s the second year of rebuilding,” Coach Bruce Farley said.

Practices started August 15 with scrimmage games. Teams were divided-up and fundamentals were reviewed. Practices usually lasted for two hours. Most of the time attitude towards the game was serious enough to con- centrate and still be at ease,” added Mr. Uhl. Most of the players were good friends on and off the court. The relationship among the players was better than expected. Four of the nine varsity players were returning letter- men but the others had played j.v. pre- viously, except Larry Suarez. As for playing up to potential, the varsity did not always display it dur- Joe Tanner and John Holeman try desper- ately to block the spike coming from a Hebron player. Bill Torrence, seeing the missed block, is ready for back up. ing a whole match at a time. “In order to win more matches we needed at least 100% mental and physical effort from everybody to win. I didn’t always receive it from everyone, commented Coach Uhl. Excitement progressed with the sea- son. On September 9, at Wheeler, Joe Tanner ripped his shorts and had to wear a towel to the lockerroom. The following Tuesday, Bill Torrence lost one of his shoes on the way to the game and had to borrow a pair from a fan. The next day he found the shoe in his yard at home. This volleyball team worked more as a team than last year but the mental lapses during the games is what would cause us to lose,” Mr. Uhl said. “The relationships between the team mem- bers improved as the season prog- ressed,” added Mike Bieber. “Even though we didn’t have a winning sea- son I think we learned to work together more as a team.” Proper execution of basic fundamentals is shown by Karry Speichert.

J.V. never gave up, never gave in . . . “1 enjoyed coaching this team very much,” said Coach Mike Frazier. Their willingness to learn and good attitudes made the difference.” “The junior varsity took volleyball seriously and showed progress in every match, added Coach Frazier. Andy Richart was the only player who had any experience. The j.v. team spent most of their time learning the game. As with anything a person lacks experience in, frustration builds quicker. “The players never gave up and everyone improved,” commented Mr. Frazier. “The junior varsity level is designed for gaining experience and skill.” Most players had no trouble getting along with each other. Lack of com- munication on the court seemed to be the problem. Volleyball is a team sport and it must be played that way. As the season progressed the commu- nication gap changed and the players worked together as a team. When we beat Hebron, it was a total team effort,” Mr. Frazier said. The bumping and setting funda- mentals weren ' t very difficult for most players to achieve. “The spiking fun- damental is the hardest skill to master, and the kill is the most exciting play, and kills win games,” added Mr. Fra- zier. Although the record was not satis- fying to the players everyone enjoyed the experience. “Mr. Frazier was a good coach and even though it took us all season to win a game, I really enjoyed volleyball, concluded Andy Richart. Boys ' Volleyball — 79 Success ‘in a sense’ Working well together wasn’t always easy. Some problems did occur. Personality conflicts and ranging abilities seemed to be the stem. The freshmen, junior varsity and varsity not only strived to work together but to work and win as teams. It wasn ' t easy to adapt. Not only did the teams learn to adapt, but they grew to learn communication as player to player and coach to player. ‘‘Volleyball was new to me, I never played on a team before, said Peggy Carrasco. “Overall, It taught me a lot. Although the volleyball season wasn’t a winning one, everyone seemed to feel it was in the sense of learning. Practices began the last week and a half of August. Coach Carol Grady and Coach Ann Thompson intro- duced the bump, set, and spike. For many of the girls trying out these fundamentals was new. The returning lettermen had an idea of what was expected of them. Miss Thompson and Miss Grady also explained to everyone what power volleyball was all about. “To play good, strong power volleyball the basic bump, set and spike fundamentals should be used! A lack of experience was the downfall but with a year behind our backs we’ll be ready next year, added Nancy Stecyk. The junior varsity team felt if more time was put into learning how to correct the mistakes that were made, rather than being punished by running, they would have a better season. “I enjoyed volleyball whether we lost or won. We always tried hard!”� said Debbie Burandt. I also feel we put forth alot of effort and that’s what counts. Although the season was rough on all three teams the support provided by parents and friends grew as the season progressed.

At various times throughout the evening, one ticket was pulled from each bag. The person with the corresponding number won the item. Three years ago 46 parents were mem- bers.

Miss Thompson ' s confidence was based on a young team. With five juniors and four sophomores, the var- sity was limited at practices in preparing for games. Miss Thompson expressed the team depended on one individual to lead the team in the past. “This year that was not so,” she said. As the season progressed it was evident the varsity worked as a team. Providing leadership on the court were Sally Gross and Selena Scott as guards. Diane Urbanszyk played the forward position and was very aggressive. Nikki Bur- gess was inexperienced at the varsity level but played as the backup center and provided good defensive help. Beth Hoeckelberg and Sherri Peck led as rebounders and played as good centers and forwards. “Beth played as a freshman and was really fired up to go this year,” added Miss Thompson. “Beth was not hesitant to take a shot.” Liz Steuer was one of the best passers on the team. “We stuck together through thick and thin,” com- mented Cheryl Huseman, junior varsity basketball player. Line-up varied from game to game. Substitutions were made with a relief to those in the game previously. The practices were hard but I felt they all added up in the long run,” sighed Theresa Grooms. I also felt we all got along good together.” Practices were held from 2:45 until 5p.m. and consisted of warm-up laps, “kill- ers,” “dog fights,” free throw shots, and scrimmage games. Guarding and dribbling skills were also prac- ticed. “We needed to practice the basic skills to run the plays correctly,” said Gloria Mackey. The two main defenses used by the j.v. team were man to man and the zone. These defenses proved to be successful. A lack of confidence, however, seemed to dominate when run- ning the offensive plays. “I felt we all got along great and no matter what, the j.v. team always worked hard!” said Tammy Peck, bas- ketball manager. As a freshman, Gloria Maacke broke into the junior var- sity line-up. Her skill also enabled her to play in several varsity games. She played as a guard. Hustling to get back on defense are Lisa Bowyer, Carol Becker, and Cheryl Huseman. Defense generated only twenty one points in the game as the team dropped a 21-40 decision to North Newton. Cheryl Huseman, center for the junior var- sity team, narrowly misses this jump ball. In most games Cheryl lead the team as top rebounder. Carol Becker, number 14, also grabbed the ball off the glass to back-up Cheryl in rebounding. Only six points kept the varsity from a win in their game against North Newton. Two of the next three games were victories. 84 — Girls Basketball Eight games were decided by seven points or less, making the jump ball an extremely important part of the game. Beth Hockel- berg, a sophomore, played center throughout the season.

Girls Basketball — 85 Rough ’n tough Rough and tough are simply two of many adjectives which could have been used to describe the basketball sea- sons of the junior varsity and the freshman teams. An 18-game schedule brought only two victories for Coach Rick Uhl’s junior varsity squad. Four other games were decided by two points or less, including a painful loss to Lowell ' s Red Devils, 30-31 in the last few seconds of the Defense occasionally sparkled for the junior varsity squad. Brad Cuba blocks the path of a Hebron player, with help. game. The close contests gave fans plenty of excitement, win or lose. Injured reserve, Tim Urbanski said, “Even though we were not always winning, the fans always cheered.” Cheer- leader Deanna Bilka added, “We always loved to cheer for them even if we didn’t win. A lot of the games were so close we almost pulled our hair out. We knew how much they were trying and, to us, that was enough.” Although the freshman team also endured a drought of victories, Coach Arden Smith continually scrambled with his club. Near the end of the season he had to scramble just to find enough freshman players. Some freshmen, includ- ing Ralph Brown and Tim Bevins, saw action with the var- sity or junior varsity teams as they improved.

Junior Varsity Freshman Basketball — 87 Fundamentally frustrated Since October 15, the Wildcats were working hard to earn a place on the starting five,” said Varsity Basket- ball Coach Bruce Farley. Practices were taken seriously, but the intensity that was desired was not always there. A major problem for the team was inexperience on the varsity level, but the team previously had very good experience on the junior varsity level. “We were weak on the fundamentals and spent a lot of time on the sim- ple things, but we improved each time out,” the coach said. As the season progressed, so did the number of fans and parents who supported the players. “The fans were always good for extra points in close games,” stated Mr. The highlight of the season had to be the homecoming victory in double overtime. — Coach Bruce Farley Farley. The enthusiasm from the cheerblock and cheerleaders was outstanding, and I believe it will be even better next year,” he noted. Breaking from tradition by playing a non-conference opponent for Homecoming was a first. Spirit Week ended with even more excitement as the varsity defeated Lowell ' s Red Devils, 51-50, in double overtime. In the final three minutes, Rick Kruit scored all six points for the win. Freshman standout Ralph Brown was moved to the varsity as his potential rose, becoming a real asset. Team captains were Rick Kruit and Bill Torrence. Receiving special awards were two seniors, a junior and a freshman. The rebounding trophy was awarded to Bill Torrence. The most assists award went to Rick Kruit. Best free throw percentage was given to Kent Haddon and best field goal percentage was earned by Ralph Brown. Looking for an open man to pass to and score against Washington Twp. is Rick Kruit.

This shirt was given to Joe a few weeks after his accident. A season for Joe Wrestling coach Greg Whitacre had every reason to be optimistic about the new season. His young squad, filled with confidence from four con- secutive wins and a summer of condi- tioning, opened their practice season with more experience and more mem- bers. Realistic goals were established, including a respectable finish at the Knox Tournament, sending a wrestler to the regionals, and improving the overall team record. With enough jun- iors and seniors to lead the squad, these goals were attained. But the careful planning, hard work and high spirits were nearly derailed. Senior Joe Keil man was struck by a train as he rode home from school. Joe survived the wreck but remained in a coma for weeks afterward. I was pretty shook-up about it when 1 heard about the wreck. I couldn’t believe it,” said teammate Josh Rivera. 1 guess that was one thing that had an effect on all of us.” With thoughts turned to Joe, the team wore special printed practice jerseys with Joe ' s name on the sleeves, and sent to Joe a get-well T-shirt. As the season progressed, so did Joe. The team improved their record and Joe regained consciousness. By the time Bob Barnes and Gene Mills earned a berth in the regional tourna- ment for Hanover’s first appearance in years, Joe began his therapy and rehabilitation. Eventually, Joe recovered enough to join classmates at Prom and at graduation ceremo- nies. It was for these reasons, a year of many kinds of victories, but that should surprise no one. Just before the first match of the season, Ken White, Joes replacement in the 132-lb. weight class proclaimed, “This season ' s for Joe.” In their only appearance during school hours, the wrestlers performed well, and earned the respect of their classmates. Wrestling — 91 Spirit leaders: “Are you ready? Let ' s get started,” was a familiar sideline cheer shouted by freshmen, junior varsity and var- sity cheerleaders. The freshmen cheerleaders had a new sponsor, Mrs. Cheryl O’Connor. “The freshmen cheerleaders were enthusiastic and backed the players ' win or lose ' to the last second of each game. This has been a new experience tor me and I enjoyed being their spon- sor,” she said. The cheerblock, junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders were also under supervision of a new sponsor, Mrs. Brenda Farley. The enthusiasm and spirit was great and I was proud of all of them,” she said. The junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders practiced on Tuesday nights. During the practices, floor and sideline cheers were rehearsed, cheer- block meetings were planned and the varsity squad worked with the bases on floor cheers. A new look appeared as the bases incorporated gymnastics into their own cheer called Wildcats.” As cheerleaders and cheerblock yelled out Give me a W” the bases formed a Varsi y cheerleaders Donna Baacke, Karen Kenning, Marcia McAllister, Karen Under- wood and Sandy Baacke climb to the top of the cheer called Victory with the help of the bases.

As the season closed, Mr. Fetty expressed appreciation as he told the cheerleaders, bases, parents and cheerblock he was proud of the sup- port displayed in spite of the rough Basketball season. I really enjoyed being the sponsor. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Mrs. Julie Westerhoff, Pom Cats sponsor for two years. Halftime entertainment at the var- sity games was provided by the Pom Cat. “Most of the routines performed by the Pom Cats were learned at camp,” explained Mrs. Westerhoff. Lorraine Pearson choreographed One Step At A Time.” LeeAnn Iacon- etti and Jamie Schrieber created a routine to Socket Rocket”. The captain of the Pom Cats was Denise Dust and co-captain was Rose Hoeckelberg. The Pom Cats practiced twice a week on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. We performed at every home game, in the homecoming parade. homecoming queens court, and also at pep sessions, added Mrs. Westerhoff. The Pom Cats tried to use a different routine for every performance. “Our favorite routine was ‘Don ' t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’ by Michael Jack- son,” commented the Pom Cats. Socket Rocket was a routine practiced and performed in the same week. With each Pom Cat in step they proudly per- formed this last routine of the season.

For the first ime in Hanover’s history, cheerblock rose to fourth place out of nine schools in the Porter County Conference Boys Basketball Tournament. “It ' s really great to have so many students involved,” said Mrs. Brenda Farley, cheerblock spon- sor. There were approximately eighty mem- bers in the cheerblock. “I think any team would rather have the vocal support of the students than the silence of an empty gym. The team knows you care just by being there. But the added plus is the enthusiasm shown by the cheerblock,” Mrs. Farley added. Cheerblock assemblies were held on Fri- days, when cheers were taught by the cheer- leaders and spirit was aroused by everyone. The new administration has made such a big difference in the whole attitude of the students. This of course carries over into participation in cheerblock. Our great rep- resentation at P.C.C., the numbers of stu- dents, and our being able to take a fan bus Cheerblock explodes with spirit which eventually led to a fourth place finish at the P.C.C. Boys Bas- lo every away game, which was provided by the Athletic Boosters, was a definite sign that great things are happening at Hanover Central,” Mrs. Farley said. Pep band also added something new; a platform constructed for the drummers. Like cheerblock, the pep band played at all home games. They also performed the national anthem and set the beat for the Pom Pon girls. Varsity club was an exclusive club only for those who earned varsity letters. “By earning money in the concession stand at home basketball games, they provide them- selves with letters, emblems and chevrons,” said Mr. John Brindley, club sponsor. “With this money we also purchase the senior pla- ques, though this year we may buy tro- phies.” These profits also helped reduce the price of sweaters and jackets. Possibly this year we’ll provide a service to the school but this is doubtful because most of the members time is devoted to their sports,” commented Mr. Brindley. ketball Tourney.

Varsity Club, Pep Band — 95 Survival of the fastest Everyone fell silent. Mr. John Brindley read off the team scores eliminating all but two teams, leaving one team to be second and one team to be champions. Pausing, Mr. Brind- ley slowly announced the team that placed second, Morgan Township 116. Those words brought the Hanover track teams into delirium having won their own relays for the fifth straight year. The girls’ team breezed to another round robin crown defeating all of their P.C.C. competitors by an average of 45 points. This made the P.C.C. meet a cake walk for them, run- ning away with the conference trophy with a score of 88% points. Morgan Twp. scored a distant second with 77 points. Going all-conference for the girls were; Carol Schmal in shot put, Sherri Peck in high jump and the 400 and 800m relay teams. The 400 relay team was made up of Selena Scott, Sherri Peck, Janet Bowyer and Deanna Bilka. The 800m realy team included Selena Scott, Janet Bowyer, Kathy Gold and Sherri Peck. The boys’ team started off slowly with only three returning lettermen; Bill Torrence, Richard Solberg and Dave Patchin. But as the season closed 8 had attained varsity letters including the original three. Only three confer- ence schools were able to defeat the boys during the round robin season with Boone Grove being the first to fall, boosting team morale enough to decimate the next two conference foes by more than 50 points. The team fin- ished with a 5-3 conference record. An improvement over last years 3-5 record. Greg Gold closed-out all action by earning a spot in the 800m run in the regionals. One of three returning, letterman Bill Torrence was the boys ' only senior. Bill qualified for sec- tionals in the long jump.

In order to improve their record, the golf team worked diligently on improving fundamentals. Being able to change swings was the hardest fundamental for me, added Todd Wil- lis. About his baseball team Coach Rick Uhl said, “I always thought they could win if they played well. The team had five experienced players. They were Mike Bie- ber, — third base; Kent Haddon, — outfield; Pete Burgess, — second base; and Dan Anderson, — outfield, pitcher. Coach Uhl decided to have the players stay at one posi- tion and he tried not to move them around. “I wanted them to play their positions, and learn by experience,” he added. Coach Uhl clearly stated at the start of the season that he wanted the players to show class. “They learned to show class on the field even if they didn’t win,” he com- mented. At many games the umpires complimented the good sportsmanship of the team and managers. The strongest point about the varsity team was their aggressive baserunning. A majority of the runs were scored by forcing the other team into mistakes. Also, hitting improved greatly as the season progressed and as the team was more aggressive at the plate, according to the coach. “I feel it’s very important to have a J.V. baseball team at Hanover,” said Coach Arden Smith. “The J.V. team is a program that allows a player to gain valuable training and experience without having a lot of pressure.” J.V . ; Kevin Reed, Joe Storms, Ralph Brown, Larry Suarez, John Simale, Dave Watt, Wayne Corbett, Doug McKee, Jeff Schmal, Tom Bieber, Tom Tussey, Coach Arden Smith, Scott Wilson, Joe Elms, Larry Stenger, and Mark Sawyer.

There were actually four student bodies all bound into one. From freshman to seniors all the classes were different; in ages, grades and activities. Each activity was quite special to everyone involved. Each person took a special pride in their class. Activities like ditch day, (where most went to party and have a good time), to spirit week, where all individuals partici- pated in competition with their class for one Directed by Miss Linda Beard, Swing choir dances to the music ' 73zz Man in rehearsing for a regional contest in which they received a second place rating. f 102 — People Divider The sign in front of Hanover Central high School helps to keep the community informed of coming sporting events, meetings, and other school activities. week to decide wm school and class spirit. Although there is only one winning class, everyone involved was a winner because they had a week to have fun and to be with their friends and get to know everyone a little better. There were other times when all classes worked together, such as all-school sales week, where everyone not only worked together to help themselves, but also other Actually, wasn i that UMial all about? Individuals worked together to form the best class, their class. Each class worked together to make a school body, not just any school body, but one that would stand out and be better than any other. This wasn’t very hard. After all, look at who our school body is made up of . . , People Divider — 103 Working together is a success Mr. Michael Shuler, former eighth grade history teacher, became the assistant principal. Mrs. Edwards has been working at Hanover for nine years. She does all the main typing in the office. Administrative changes took place while students were away during sum- mer. Mr. Joseph Fetty, who was assistant principal last year, became principal. Mr. Michael Shuler, a former history teacher at Hanover, took the position of assistant principal. Mr. Richard Dimitt became the superintendent. In the past he had served as the principal and assistant principal at Jane Ball Elementary school. The changes included seven new teachers: Mrs. Ruth Eskilson, home eco- nomics; Miss Linda Beard, choir; Miss Margaret Bean, French and art; Mrs. Maria Dolton, English; Mrs. Millie Postma, math; Mr. John Lee, metals; and Mr. Arden Smith, who teaches drafting and graphic arts. Mr. Joseph Fetty took the position of principal. He served as assistant principal last year. When asked what she enjoyed most about her job. Mrs. Lueder replied. Working with the kids and bookkeeping. Mrs. Schrieber takes time out from putting student records on file. She has been working at Hanover for four years. Mrs. Heldt says the most important part of her job is keeping things organized for guidance. 104 — Administration No need to miss your 6th hour test, Sue, I think you ' ll survive through the day, says Nurse Gruber to a disappointed Sue Sikma.

Mrs. Gerlach, a certified attendance worker, has been in charge at the attendance office for 1 1 years. Mr. Dimitt, the former principal of Jane Ball, became the new superintendent. Administration — 105 Coming back for change “The new administration,” was Mr. Michael Shuler’s answer when he was asked why he came back to Hanover. Situations have been cleared up since 1 was here.” He added that he took the job because it gave him a chance to be part of the new adminis- tration. Before Mr. Shuler left in 1977 he was a track and cross country coach for five years, the athletic director for two years. He taught three classes a day before that. “I was not forced to leave, though,” Mr. Shuler said. “The school has improved, it should have been this way four or five years ago.” He also commented on how well dressed and behaved the students have become. “I was athletic director at North Newton for one year. Our kids are as good and dressed as well,” he said. Mr. Shuler made it clear that he would not have come back if changes weren’t made. “We ' re strict because we care,” he said. “The kids don’t seem to under- stand that, but it is helping. There is a lot of support coming from the teach- ers that wasn’t there before, and there aren’t as many drugs.” He commented that he and Mr. Fetty were impressed and very pleased with all the school spirit aroused by the cheerleaders, cheer- block members and fans. “This has been a real good year. Each year gets better and better,” Mr. Shuler said.

Many students felt buying their class rings at a jewelry store was a better buy than from Jostens, who had supplied Hanover with class rings for at least five years. It ' s cheaper to go to a jew- eler! You can get anything you want with a wide range of choices,” said Kevin Reed. You also get them resized as long as you’re in high school. Plus you don’t have to wait as long to get it or have repairs.” I ' m buying from a jeweler because my mom wants me to. She didn’t like the one my sister bought from Jostens, said Gloria Mackey.

They are very active in extra curricular activities, from sports to drama. Even though they may not win every game or meet they partici- pate in, they don’t let it get them down. Over half of this class was on honor roll each six weeks. Many feel having high grades was only part of having class spirit. You’ll find few sport members benched because of low grades. At pep rallies and convocations the sophomore class really made their presence felt. They not only encouraged their team but they worked together, and encouraged their class officers as well. “I feel everyone cares about the class and is really close. We’re con- sistently encouraged to try out our new ideas. There are not groups like burnouts or jocks, we’re all one. The best way to describe our class is we’re just a bunch of good kids,” commented Tina Reader. “We’re great, fantastic and everyone cares about everyone,” said Janet Boyer. To make the class of ‘83, it took a lot of different personalities, ideas and respect for one another. These are the personalities, ideas and moments that the sophomores will remember when they graduate. They ' ll not only take with them a diploma, but an unforgettable mem- ory of high school years spent together.

We had a great turn out and very few problems, said Tina Reader, “We put a lot of work and spirit into that float. We deserved to win,” Sandy Cooley said. Devils went down at Hanover and the sophomore class went up taking first place in the floats. The original theme for the float was Fork the Devils” but after taking a vote it was changed. A lot of cooperation and sacri- fices were made to make this float. Mr. and Mrs. Patchin were kind enough to volunteer their home for students to work on the float. Doug Schreiber pulled the float with his truck. Hours of homework time were spent working on the float. I knew we were going to win even with the junior float because we gave it all wed had, said Deb- bie Burandt. But apparently several juniors felt differently. “1 always thought the judging counted on originality, general appearance and effort, but apparently that wasn ' t the case here, said Jeff Plant. Taking apart the float after the judging did not take long. Scott Claus, David Patchin, Carrie Gracz and Kelley Cody had it disassem- bled in a few minutes. “It was kind of sad because we had put a lot of work into it, commented- Kelley Cody.

They took charge, arranged class meetings and kept the class informed. Representing the sophomore class were president, Janet Boyer; vice pres- ident, Deanna Bilka; treasurer, Tina Reader; and secretary, Sherri Peck. All these people had a common goal, keeping the class organized. Each position had a specific duty. President Janet Boyer’s and vice presi- dent Deanna Bilka ' s main duties were to promote spirit and make sure their class was involved in school func- tions. Treasurer Tina Reader con- trolled and kept track of the class money. Collecting dues was only part of the responsibility. Sherri Peck as secretary kept books on upcoming events such as prom, plus found ways to make more money for the class.

They also placed second over-all in the homecoming week activities with 135 points. Some juniors said they were more concerned with their float than the Spirit Jug itself. Thay put a lot of time and effort into their float entitled, “Ride the Rails to a Wildcat Victory.” Some juniors claimed they had been cheated. “The majority of the juniors feel that there was favoritism from the judges to the sophomore class’s float. We know we didn’t earn enough points to win the Spirit Jug, but we feel we deserved the float,” commented Jeff Plant.

Mr. Nicolas commented that both the sophomore and the junior floats were extremely good and of fairly equal quality. All three judges were honest in their decisions. The student council was in charge of assigning the judges to the float contest. The three chosen were Mrs. Santona, Mr. Nicolas, and Mr. Granger. The floats were judged in eight categories including: (1) use of a color scheme, (2) theme of float carried out in construction, (3) neatness-overall appearance, (4) use of imagination and creativity, (5) abstention from vulgarity, (6) float riders behave in a well-mannered fashion, (7) work involved in construction, and (8) judges own comments. Although the juniors were dissappointed, they were proud of their float and all put into it. The juniors indicated they are going to put every thing they’ve learned into next year s float and try for the spirit jug again.

Juniors — 125 High performance On May 18 , the students who had done superb work were honored for It’s the little things that count. Any- body can receive credit in a class pro- vided that they do the required work. This process gets to be difficult and lengthy as high school goes on. Although most people seem to accom- plish this without too much difficulty, there are some people that accomplish classwork above what is expected. The faculty picks one night out of the year to gather these people and reward them for their efforts. Pins, plaques and certificates were awarded to those doing superior work or having a superior attitude towards their work whether in the classroom or a certain sport. A few of the leading awards were The Voice of Democracy Award to Kathy Wachowiak; the American Legion Award to Patty Neary and Jeff Grant, the Hugh O’Brien Outstanding Sophomore Award to Denise Cordrey. The first-board chess award went to John Holeman. Hoosier Boys’ and Girls’ State winners were announced also. 126 — Senior High Awards Left: Tom Lueder receives the Calumet College Alumni Book Award, presented by Mr. Leonard Miller, counselor.

Our spirit may not be scholastic and not all of us may participate in sports, but we stand up for ourselves and together, we will suc- ceed, said Tammy Collins. Over the high school years there have been members of the class in sports, plays, honor society and varsity club. Our spirit may be silent but it is there. We’re not ashamed of our school. The only spirit the seniors have is the spirit to survive our last year at Hanover, said Bill Torrence. Our class shows spirit out of school because this school is too serious. We can ' t gel away with much, said Kathy Devine. The class of ' 81 has a cer- tain spirit no other class has. It is a certain spirit that remains in school as well as out of it. Participati on in school activities may be important to some, but what is important was helping each other make it through. said Mary Kozlowski.

Closing — 159 TTIfa® @mdl Here it is. The end of the book and the end our Story for the past 12 months. The plot included friends, classes, study, practice, rehearals and above all, fun. From beginning to end it was an endless string of tests, weekends and parties. It’s time again for summer jobs, baseball, swimming, and sleeping late. For most, the com- ing of summer was a welcome sight. The teach- ers needed a break as much or more than the students. “I ' m looking forward to a summer without teaching. I’ll be out there working in my garden,” explained Mr. Bob Krol. The summer is appreciated by all. The break is well deserved and needed. A year of new activities to add to the old and new faces to join the old to make them work. First time activities like freshmen volleyball, Ski and Outdoor club and Maranatha Club got more students involved in extra curricular activities. There were new faces in the school, but even more important, there were new faces in all the clubs, sports and organizations. The most astounding was cheerblock. In one year it went from 20 members to 80. There was a decrease in yearbook and news- paper staffers, but the year went more smoothly and produc tively. This yearbook is the result of many trying hours during and after school. Everyone worked hard to make this book part of OUR school. This was Our Story told to the best of our ability. I only hope it means as much to you in the years to come as it means to us already. Every time you pick this book up I hope you can relive this part of your life. Mercedes Sheehy, Editor All of the “ treasures that have been stored in lockers are packed up to take home or dumped in the nearest trash can so they never have to be seen again. Ron Blouin finishes up his sorting before he goes home. The last of the students file out of the hallways never to come back, that is till next fall. But many students come back during the summer to work on basketball and volley- ball in the gym and for band and marching practice for the upcoming parades. 160 — Closing
