It can be, but the students at Hanover Central were forced to do that very thing with many of their classes. The many budget cuts that plagued the country did not leave out Hanover. Did the students mind crowding into their classes? “I thought it would lesson my ability to learn but it didn’t” said Nancy(cont’d. pg. 4) ► After beating the senior class in the tug-of-war, the juniors give each other a hug. juartfiia .iSaifj L HUU SM E 2 — Opening Xanders. “In fact I got to know my classmates a tor better. 1 got to know th e m person al ly.’’ With classes being forced together kids were forced to sit closer to each other.

Opening — 5 Student life The fun part of what happens at school is what we have tried to capture in the following pages. All the dances, all the games, ' most everything we do outside of class. It’s not easy capturing the varied activities and personalities of over 400 students. But victories and heartbreaks, breakthroughs and setbacks, all can be found, squeezed into these pages. Parents and elders are constantly telling us, “Enjoy. These are the best years of your life.” This is student life, students working and growing together, having a good time doing it. Everything was squeezed together to make it fit. Our activities may not have been as extravagent, such as no floats for Spirit Week, but we made it work, caring and sharing with everyone. 6 — Student Life Student Life — 7 Best friends share a closeness equalled by nothing else as shown by Cathy Hoeckelberg and Robin Richardson Beyond The Classroom Without seven hours of school and extra curricular activities to worry about, many students took advan- tage of their summer vacations to learn and improve in areas they were interested in. Foreign and American students learned more about the world during the World Affairs Seminar at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. Cheryl Huseman and Mercedes Sheehy, sponsored by the Lions Club, attended to learn about world problems and conflicts. Nuclear arms and conflicts in Afghanistan were two topics of discussion. Sue Sikma and Lydia Maldonado attended the Student Leadership In- stitute at Indiana University. ‘‘Lydia and I had a lot of fun as we learned- more about Student Council and met many people. Also, while we were at S.H.I. we each set goals for ourselves and our offices that we will fulfill!” Journalism students again attend- ed Ball State Workshops for newspaper, yearbook and photography. Karen Thorn and Cheryl Huseman attended for year- book; Sue Sikma, Robin Richardson and Dan Wells for newspaper, Andy Richart and Dan Wells for photography. Three pompon girls attended a workshop at Indiana University. Lor- raine Pearson, Debbie Corbett and Dana Martin learned seven new routines to use at the basketball games. ►On the first day of school, Mr. Young gave each of his classes a writing assignment. Here, his third hour class listens as the assignment is explained. To improve shooting skills for the upcoming season, Tim Kubiak, Todd Jenkins, Brian Sharp, Joe Storms, Ralph Brown, and Larry Suarez at- tended Dick Baumgarter’s shooting camp in Richmond. Pat Sawaska, Bob Beck and Brian Henson worked at the Indiana Basketball Camp. Other students spent the summer working to make money for college. One of the things that made com- ing back to school so hard was hav- ing to miss the soaps, faithfully followed all summer. It was almost like living in another world during the summer in a galaxy beyond the classroom. But then August slips away and . . . The alarm goes off — rinnggg! A typical student turn s over and looks at the clock. 6:00 a.m.! For some it was the first time they had seen the world before sun-up since June. One final groan and he rolls out of bed dreading the upcoming day — the first day of school. The beginning of another long year. Freshmen had a whole new routine to get used to. All of a sudden these newcomers found themselves in different halls with different classes and different teachers. For seniors it was the beginning of the end. It was the last time to get involv- ed in everything done in the last three years. The day started off right with the bells not working and students being tardy. There was the last minute rush of registration and paying book rental fees for those who could not bear to come in until the last minute. The whole day was a day of read- justment and settling in. Teachers explained courses and rules and then as you rushed out the door they smil- ed sweetly and said, “See you tomor- row. Most wished they were out beyond the classroom again. 8 — Summer Activities First Day of School ◄Sue Sikma, Kim Funk and Robin Richard- son take time out from their busy week at Ball State to enjoy the breeze. ▼In Wisconsin, Mercedes Sheehy and Cheryl Huseman met many new people including this exchange student from Mexico and a student from Greencastle, Indiana. _ JN — J HANOVER CENTRAL ' £ JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL SEPT. 1 1982 ONE HALF DAY r - , • ▲The marquee in front of the school an- nounced to all that school was soon to start and summer vacation would end. ◄As the buses pulled into the school, the students filed into the lobby to wait for the gate to open, or walked around back to eat breakfast in the cafeteria.

John Pasierb flips through his yearbook with Phil Mitchell and Ricky Phillips. TCarol Schmal was one of many sprawled along the entire hallway next to the girls gym where people were signing yearbooks. More Than Dancin’ THEY’RE NOT JUST DANCES, THEY HAVE AN ADDED SPECIAL ATTRACTION. Sadie Hawkins Dance was brought back after trying a 50 ' s dance last year. “I liked the Sadie Hawkins dance better and more people went, commented Tom Bieber. Mr. Gary Young played the role of Marryin’ Sam and joined close to 30 couples in a mock ceremony costing 10C. Licenses and rings were included in the fee. Both the Yearbook and Sadie Hawkins Dances were record dances. This saved money and led to more variety in the music. The Yearbook Dance gave students a chance to pick up and sign their books. Many of the previous year ' s seniors returned also. More time was spent sign- ing books and sharing memories than dancing. “I enjoyed the music and dancing. It was just a great time to get together with your friends and have a wild time,” commented Jill Haddon. The marriages and picking up of books provided for more than dancin’.

The night everyone was waiting for. ‘‘Maybe tonight we will ring the victory bell,” was a possibility among students and fans. The announcement of who would win the titles of King and Queen and the winner of the Spirit Jug added to the mounting excitement. This was the first time that the King wasn’t chosen from the basket- ball team. Only one senior was on the team so the voting was opened to any senior involved in extra- curricular activities. Between games, the court was an- nounced and the title of Queen was given to Sherri Peck. Then it was announced, the senior class had again taken the Spirit Jug for the fourth year in a row. The first class ever to do it. The Pom Cats then performed with interruptions from the Lowell players who were shooting during the girls’ routine. Finally, after other attempts failed, Mr. Fetty persuaded them to move to the outer boundries where they continued to shoot. Coming out the second quarter, the Wildcats were hanging onto a slight lead and the fans were starting to talk of the victory that would break the 30-game losing streak. “It was an exciting game, the guys did a great job the first half,” stated the varsity cheerleaders. But the second half proved to be the Wildcats’ downfall. The Wildcats ended up los- ing the heartbreaker, 61-56. After the game, students attended the dance, sponsored by student council to enjoy the band, “The Sound, and to see who would be the 1983 Homecoming King. After an- nouncing the court again, Tim CJrban- ski was crowned. “I was surprised and happy. I didn ' t think I would win, said the newly-named king, “The only thing that really shocked me was when Kurt Kenning kissed me.” King Candidates Tim Clrbanski — King Todd Willis Tony Pierce Dave Patchin Larry Suarez Queen Candidates Sherri Peck — Queen Debbie Corbett Janet Bowyer Lydia Maldonado Sue Sikma Court Lori Walls — Junior Cathy Hoeckelberg — Soph.

Homecoming — 13 Fight for the jug ▼The Patriotic Look was one of many styles modeled by Tim (Jrbanski (shown) and Todd Willis on slave day in Mr. Young ' s class. ARacirvg to a first-place finish are Nancy Potts and Valene Neawes in the threelegged race. We must get it. We ' ve had it for three years and we haven ' t come this far to lose it. Everyone has to get in- volved. Everyone wants to take it from us, especially the juniors, said Tina Reader. The beloved Spirit Jug. The pride of the Class of ' 83. No class had ever taken it four years in a row. One whole week of competing for the prized status symbol of cooperation between fellow members of your class. Spirit Week, a fight for the Spirit Jug. Dress up days were a major por- tion of the competition along with hall decorating. Miss Thompson, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Roller judged early Monday morning before students were in the halls. First hour teachers took count of students dressed up in their classes. Class sponsors that dressed up counted as extra points. Other teachers were caught up in the spirit even though they weren ' t counted. I dressed up on the days I could because I wanted to show the students that I care and that I am in- volved. Being involved is the only way to enjoy anything. I want to teach that, commented Mr. Young. The games played on Wednesday accounted for the rest of the points. The Slider contest (eating White Cas- tle hamburgers) was a new game ad- ded to the usual lineup. “It was filling and I wouldn ' t do it again,” claimed Tom Clrbanec. The only contest the seniors had never won was the tug-o-war, and tradition prevailed again as the juniors were first victorious over the seniors and then the sophomores. The crowd of students cheered on their classes as each event took place. I thought it was so exciting, just to see what would happen next,” said Barb Corbett. Two events had nothing to do with the competition. The slave auction was one. As members were auction- ed off, students and teachers alike dreamed up ways of embarrassing their purchase. The other event was pie throwing. Favorite teachers were chosen as targets for the student or students that bid the highest. The week ended with the student body gathering in the gym for a pep session before the all-important Homecoming game against the Lowell Red Devils.

YJuniors Lisa Jonason and Robbyn Earl avoid senior Dana Frahm to slow down the senior squad ' s quick offensive attack. The game was played for blood. At the final count two people were seriously injured. Sue Stasiak broke a finger and Debbie Brown was out of school for two weeks after hurting her shoulder during a practice. The moans and groans caused by aching muscles on Monday morning were constant reminders to juniors, and little comfort to seniors, as the older squad won the an- nual Powderpuff football game, 28-0. The seniors had their problems, though, with the loss of Coach John Brindley to a severe case of monohepatitis. Although he could not coach from his hospital bed, words of wisdom and poems rang through the school to encourage his team and enrage the juniors. Mr. Dick Norris replaced Mr. Brindley and led them to victory. The loss of Mr. Brindley dampened spirits but not the desire to win. The juniors had trouble getting all of their players to practices and that proved to be their downfall. Their lack of experience showed heavily in their inability to score any points. Sandy Cooley remarked, “Our senior team was all together. We worked hard and put forth a good effort.” THE WRAP-UP ROLLS ON Darkness falls. A car pulls up, quickly extinguishing its lights. A cloud of suspicious-looking shadows creeps through the night, hands in- visible. Suddenly, like lightning bolts, streams of toilet paper streak through the air, engulfing an entire house and yard. Another honor” is bestowed on an “innocent” victim. A new rash of TP-ing begins, but local wig-wams are not the only targets. Sometimes automobiles fall prey to the tissue terrorists. It is a tribute to the fast-moving marauders. Special tactics are practiced by the veteran TP tossers. Among the most effective is to TP just before a light mist, or rain. The rain causes the paper, especially generic varieties, to stick and fall apart, mak- ing clean-up far more difficult. Of course, when it reaches this point, thoughts of ever cleaning-up the mess fall to the wayside. By then, it ' s impossible. Most of the fun, and all of the risk, is in eluding capture by residents, nosy neighbors or policemen. This means night-time expeditions are most desirable. The price for being caught, at current rates, (if charges are pressed) is $50 per roll. You also get the privilege of cleaning up the mess. But this in no way deters expert TPers from continuing the mad ram- page that blankets so many cars, yards and houses in two-ply colors. Indeed, some discriminating TP affi- ciondos even try to accentuate the decor with such accessories as balloons, soap, crepe paper, and, weather permitting, shaving creme. Teachers can be favorite targets of the artful assailants. Concerning the number of times she had been honored Miss Ann Thompson said, “I haven’t had to buy toilet paper all year.” God made the world beautiful,” quipped Vykke Young, but he left out one thing — and it’s Soft and Pretty.” ▲ To keep the toilet paper intact, it must be tied around the mirrors and hooked into gas caps, door handles and bumpers. ► The best part is watching the reaction on the T.P.ed person ' s face. After the initial shock, Todd Willis inspects the squeezably soft substance all over his truck. 18 — Feature •4 Days of planning went into Mr. Young ' s birthday present. Supplies had to be bought, keys had to be found, and the coast had to be clear. ▼ After blowing up four bags of balloons, Cheryl Huseman, Vykke Young, Mercedes Sheehy, and Mike Milanowski filled Mr. Young ' s car. A Posing with the finished job are Kim Perfett and Melissa Staples. Shaving creme was used for the lettering. Newspaper helped add to the volume of the balloons in Mr. Young ' s car. He was genuinely surprised to find his present. Feature — 19 20 Paris Comes to Hanover “Most people were dancing and the band was pretty good. I think everyone had a good time,’’ com- mented Gaythee Young. Fifty couples attended the Tur- nabout Dance sponsored by the Pom Cats. The theme for the dance was Evening in Paris” and the decora- tions of wine bottles, glasses and the Eiffel Tower on the wall, set the mood for the evening. “There was a good turnout. This year we made money whereas last year we lost money because there was such a lack of interest and money. The weather was bad and a lot of people had trouble getting here, said Pom Cat, Cheryl Sawyer. The most trouble the girls had was setting up. It took from after school until 8:00 p.m. to get everything ready. Most of the decorations were ▲ The band The Sound played at the Turnabout Dance.

The queen candidates were chosen differently, too. A represen- tative was chosen from each class in- stead of just taking the top five of all the classes. The sophomore vote was tied so two candidates were taken. Overall, the dance came off better than the dances of the past few years with the changes and an increase in enthusiasm. — Turnabout ▲ The court included: freshman, Terri Reader and date Bob Beck; junior, Lisa Jonason and date Mark Martin; sophomores, Kathy Hoeckelberg and date Brian Sharp; Donna Dovichi and date Doug Fortner; and senior Janet Bowyer and date Jeff Hahn. 4 Sherri Peck thinks about her year as Turnabout Queen just before she crowns the new one, Janet Bowyer.

This comes from Mike Milanowski who, while playing Oscar Madison, had to unveil his heart-laden underwear in the Odd Couple.” The summer play, Mr. Coed,” was an opportunity to introduce new students into the drama program. The play was double-cast for more in- volvement. It gave newcomers a chance to gain experience for the coming year. The comedy told the story of a boy (Tom Clrbanec) who charades as a girl to save a private girls school from being sold. “The Odd Couple was the fall play. It had a relatively small cast, due to less involvement in drama, since numerous other activities were going on. The comedy by Neil Simon was shown as a matinee to the high school. The winter play, A Murder is An- nounced,” was a mystery by Agatha Christie. After two killings and an at- tempted third, the killer is finally caught by the heroic inspector. The play was used as a teaching device for junior high students. They learn- ed about plot and acting of a play, also the backstage aspects. “I have the most fun giving plays to the junior high kids. They give their full attention to the production and some of them get interested in drama. They are the future of the program,” noted Joy McClymont. 22 — Plays SUMMER PLAY: Tom Grbanec Jocelyn Sheehy Jane Yothment Mercedes Sheehy Dana Frahm Cheryl Huseman Sue Stasiak Shawn Sheehy Eric Pearson Denise Cordrey Jamie Schreiber Judy Tomazewski Chris Huseman Patty Tomaszewski Cindy Troy Jack Schuring Josh Rivera Tony Sain Mike Milanowski Vykke Young Joan Goff Nancy Potts STUDENT DIRECTORS: Mercedes Sheehy Cheryl Huseman FALL PLAY: Shawn Sheehy Mike Milnowski Tom tlrbanec Tony Sain David Colburger Joy McClymont Dana Frahm Mike Keegan STUDENT DIRECTORS: Denise Cordrey Vykke Young WINTER PLAY: Cheryl Huseman Denise Cordrey Shawn Sheehy Gaythee Young Tom Grbanec Judy Tomaszewski Mercedes Sheehy Mike Milanowski Debbie Brown Vince Schuring David Colburger 8TUDENT DIRECTORS: Vykke Young Chris Huseman TECHNICAL DIRECTOR: Tom Kretz CREWS: Cast and Jennifer Stawicki Sue Shroka Patty Earnest Terri Sheehy Ed Krga Renee Wolff John Paseirb ▲ Make-up coordinator, Vykke Young, uses a cap and spirit gum to make Inspector Crad- dock (Shawn Sheehy) bald.

Plays — 23 Circle Of Life The whole idea of the carousel is to show the complete circle of life. From beginning to end it ' s a com- plete cycle,” said Joy McClymont. The carousel was borrowed from Crown Point High School for Thes- pian Troupe 1852’s production of the musical Carousel.” The play was presented to the public on April 22 and 23. A matinee was shown to the junior high on the 22nd also. The play took place in the late 1800s and the costumes required long skirts and bustles. Mrs. Dorothy Tortoricci did research into the period to make costumes for the cast. ' Make-up also took a long time because there were so many actors to prepare,” said Vykke Young, make-up coordinator. The lead roles were played by Mike Milanowski and Joy McCly- mont. Supporting roles were played by Shawn Sheehy, Jocelyn Sheehy, Tim Dines and Mercedes Sheehy. Student directors were Cheryl Huseman and Gaythee Young. A poster contest was held in the sixth grade to cut down the cost of advertising and to generate interest. Cash prizes were awarded to four places. The play came off remarkably well considering all of the setbacks that occured. I grew to know a lot of the kids in the play much better and made a lot of new friends. It was a neat experience to leave with,” said senior Mercedes Sheehy. 24 — Spring Play M The carousel barker, Billy Bigelow (Mike Milanowski), drums-up business among the people at the carnival. ▼ Mr. Snow (Shawn Sheehy) and Carrie (Jocelyn Sheehy) sing about their future together after they are married.

Everyday, learning takes place in the classroom and clubs we have joined. At times we become discouraged and wonder “Why all this work?” “Will this really help us in the future?” We are in school such a short time in the four years we have, one must squeeze in not only required classes, but classes needed for a job or career. Groups, which include the clubs and organizations, are also important. Some make us put to use what we’ve learned in the classroom. Others, such as Student Council, help us enjoy high school. Within this section the classes and groups are combined in order to show the unity between the two. We squeezed them into our daily routines, we squeezed them into our lives. 26 — Groups Classes A ► With chairs in a circle around the dance floor, Sue Sikma and Mike Bieber participate in the garter ceremony. ▲ Queen Debbie Corbett and King Bill Kozlowski wait for the band to play after cor- onation by last year ' s royalty, Dianne Urbanc- zyk and Dave Monix. ► While waiting for dinner to be served, Larry Suarez and Mia Johnson visit with other couples at the table. 28 — Prom Memories? Although Memories Always and Forever” was the theme, for many, the memories would rather be forgotten. The general feeling of prom-goers was that the 1983 version didn’t live up to expectations. “The biggest pro- blem was the band. They were too loud, Carol Schmal said. “You couldn’t even talk to the person next to you. If you weren’t dancing, all you could do was sit and watch.” A confusing introduction of the court had the prom committee scrambling for the girls’ flowers.

After Debbie Corbett and Bill Kozlowski were named queen and king, the couples enjoyed one of the rare slow dances of the evening. The traditional day at Turkey Run the next day gave couples a chance something to look forward to after the previous night.

Prom — 29 THE BAND, CHOIR AND SWING CHOIR ALL HIT The Key Range What group didn’t need to raise money? Band, choir and swing choir were no different from any other group. To raise funds, the groups sold frozen pizzas. Profits were spent on new equipment and group travel. While raising money, the groups were always busy preparing for concerts. We performed very well,” Miss Linda Beard, choir director, said of the first concert. She noted that she strives for perfection. Perfection eluded the swing choir at Spring Spec- tacular, but the group did manage to entertain the audience. The band, on the other hand, worked on basics. “We had our good points and bad points, but we are a young band and we ' ll get better, said Mr. John Gor- ball, band director. ▲ “Life is a Celebration” wrap- ped up the first half of the Spring Spectacular.

Band Choir Swing Choir — 31 Sense-Able Freshman speeches, sophomore Shakespeare, and junior term papers tugg- ed at everyone’s senses. The seniors, however, tackled them head-on. Writing term papers was a requirement for juniors. It is necessary for students who intend to go to college,” Mr. Gene Rajchel said. The term papers should help give students a better sense of organization,” he added. Juniors in Mr. Mike Frazier ' s classes spent several weeks focusing on the media, devoting their ▼ Todd Wilkening and Dan Cuevas show a wrestling move for Skip Harmon ' s demonstration speech. time to learning the com- munication process and advertising awareness. The unit ended with student projects. Seniors had a choice of College-Prep English with Mr. Gary Young, or Practical English and Speech with Mr. Rajchel. In Mr. Young’s senior classes, students wrote poetry, essays, and term papers. As the year ended, they presented the traditional senior projects which had to incorporate use of all five senses. ► Mrs. Marie Zurawski awards first-place to Denise Cordrey in the VFW Voice of Democracy” contest.

History Sees Cutbacks Fewer students were enrolled in the history department because fewer students were enrolled in the whole school. This led to the loss of one teacher, Mrs. Whitacre. Mr. Rick Uhl’s teaching schedule was effected, too. Mr. Uhl didn’t have fewer classes but had a majority of junior high classes. He said, “I kind of like teaching the younger students because they seem to be eager to learn and easy to teach. Mr. Greg Whitacre and Mr. John Brindley also taught social studies and U.S. History. Specialty classes in sociology, psychology, government, and economics were taught by Miss Ann Thompson. She said, Most of the students that paid at- tention in class got good grades.

Other classes ranged from high school math to pre-calculus. Mr. Farley and Mrs. Millie Postma taught the high school math students while Mrs. Mary Love taught the more ad- vanced mathematical students. Mrs. Postma also taught Algebra I. Math — 37 CLASS PROJECTS TOOK SOME STUDENTS Out of Books There were some changes in the Industrial Arts classes, with Mr. Norm Holmes replacing Mr. John Lee as the metals shop teacher. This also meant some teachers in the in- dustrial arts area had to teach more classes. In metals, students were re- quired to construct three projects, one each in sheet metals, welding, and lathe work, as part of the changes. Some art classes tried new projects. In crafts class, students attempted wood burning, papier-mache, str- ing art, among others. Ceramics class, taught Miss Margaret Bean, created pot- tery and sculptures. Studio art made drawings with charcoal, shadow drawings, and light drawings. Advanc- ed art held a fund-raiser for more art supplies by selling student-produced calendars featuring original art work.

In this class, known as “word processing, students edit and revise type written work on the computers, before a copy is made. The class consisted of juniors and seniors. One of the students, Peggy Car- rasco said, “some of the work is difficult, like learn- ing programs and just get- ting used to the computers. But because of the class be- ing so interesting it really helps with our studies.” Mr. Whitestine said, “This class is very necessary even with the budget cuts here at Hanover, I think if Hanover did not offer a computer class we would be behind in society, because many of the surrounding schools already have computers, he emphasized.

Jump Ahead Concern for the amount of science education students receive surfaced with a report from the Na- tional Commission on Ex- cellence in Education. At Hanover, the opportunities for exploring science were plentiful. If dissection and inspec- tion of frogs in a biology class wasn’t appealing, there were general science, chemistry, and physics classes. All science stu- dents, no matter what the course, benefitted from the donation of thousands of dollars worth of lab equip- ment from the old Salesians school. In fact, there was so much, the science depart- ment had trouble finding storage space. Combining a move by the Indiana Department of Education to require more science of all students in the future, with bolstered facilities, Hanover students got a jump on the trend for better science education.

I’ve been teaching the class since the school has been built,” he said. In Mr. Norris ' opinion, the classes aren ' t all that bad. “When we get a good game going, it’s very exciting.” A feature in the gym class was a power lifting demonstration by Paul Wrenn, 1981 Weight Lifter Champion. In this convoca- tion he demonstrated his strength by driving a nail through a 2x4 board with his hands, picking up a girl in one hand, and picking up Mr. Dave Lemon, vice prin- cipal, with his teeth. It shows what you can achieve and accomplish,” said Roger Pflaum. A new class added to the curriculum was a small- engine repair class, which was taught by Mr. John Shipley. It is a class design- ed to help students learn how to build and repair small engines. The students had to bring in their own engines at the beginning of the course, usually a 2-cycle or 4-cycle engine. After the students finished taking apart and putting the engines back together, they could bring in more engines if they wanted to. But before beginning the manual work, time was spent in the books reading and learning. “Most of the classes are alright, with the exception of a few students who don’t like book work,” stated Mr. Shipley. TBrian Bradley checks to see if the stomach of power-lifter Paul Wrenn is really all muscle. Gym Auto Shop — 45 Group Effort It wasn’t as easy to be a part of the few clubs remain- ing as some students thought. But because stu- dents shared interests in speech, chess, and jour- nalism, these clubs flourished. Membership in the Quill Scroll journalism club was by nomination from the ad- visor. After meeting aca- demic requirements and receiving approval from the national headquarters, juniors and seniors on the publications staffs were eligible to join the interna- tional honorary. The main activity of the Quill Scroll club was to sponsor the annual Student- Faculty Softball Game. Pro- ceeds from the game were used to sent students to the Ball State Journalism Workshops in the summer. Fund-raising was a pro- blem for most groups. The chess club tried selling seat cushions. The $4.50 price dropped to $1.50 like a bluelight special as sales were slow, but the group did manage to sell most of them. Dan Wells, a member of both the speech and chess clubs, said, “I enjoyed the clubs and was able to ex- pand my knowledge of the two.” -Rounding first after a base hit, Andy Richart and Mr. Nicholas wait to see how the outfield handles It. 46 — Speech Chess Quill Scroll 4ln a practice game against Paul Metcalfe, Kerri Farney captures a pawn midway through the game.

The thespian society is an organization made up of people who have helped with the play productions. In order to be a member, a per- son must work a certain number of hours according to Mr. Gary Young, sponsor. “It is much harder to receive a thespian letter than an athletic letter,” said Mr. Young. It requires more time and effort.” It takes 2,000 hours of service to earn a letter. One point equals 10 hours.

The amount of inductees more than doubled over the past years. Group projects included the Thanksgiving Food Drive, Someone You Should Know, Region Spotlight on Youth (coordinated with the TIMES newspaper,) Senior Faculty Basketball Game, and a new project dealing with landscaping. Individual projects were squeezed into schedules of the members. Denise Cordrey made a new poster for the “So- meone You Should Know,” Ginger Pflaum volunteered help to Mrs. Bixenman in the library. She sorted books and helped in filing cards. Mercedes Sheehy posted the Food Drive points daily in the Main Office. Sue Sikma collected the “Spotlight on Yough” and posted them bi-weekly in the main office lobby. This gave the students and teachers who didn’t receive the TIMES a chance to read the questions and answers. Tina Walkowiak designed a peg board listing the present and new inductees. N.H.S. members received recogni- tion through this project. Two scholarships were available for senior members of N.H.S. Mercedes Sheehy and Susan Sikma were chosen to apply.

A New Approach If a student didn’t par- ticipate in activities, it wasn’t Student Council’s fault. The council helped the faculty members, as well. During Fall parent-teacher conferences, the council prepared and served a spaghetti lunch to faculty and staff members. This helped the faculty to unders- tand what our work is about, said Sue Sikma, council president. Bad weather threatened to postpone one of the coun- cil ' s oldest traditions: the Powderpuff Football game. But the rain held-off and the seniors prevailed, 28-0.

It took weeks of planning and scheduling behind the scenes. “Star Trek, the Movie” was the council’s Christmas present to students, while “Raiders of the Lost Ark was the Spring special.

At the thespians banquet, the new thespians had to wait on the tables of those parents who came. After- wards, they went to the auditorium to put on short skits for the parents who attended.

Why were they so special? All the faces were different, their lifestyles all unique; but all the people had one thing in common. The people at Hanover were very special because all the people knew each other. As the year went on, the people started to blend in and become somewhat like a family. Hugs and good luck handshakes were essentials for finals week, and sometimes all it took was the squeeze of a hand to tell someone special just how much it meant. Then the school year ended and melted into summer. Some of the students followed each other throughout the summer and into the next school year. So as you look through the next few pages, think about the pictures and all the people you still know. T Roby Henn does his homework in Year- book class. Making A Way Being a freshman can be very rough, after all those years of grade school and junior high. They finally made it to the high school life, not knowing what it would be like being the youngest in the high school. It was hard to change, going from junior high to high school. Some students took it worse than others, but everyone has to do it sometime. Maybe the hardest part to the students was learning to cope with the older students. For some students it took time getting used to being at the bottom of the ladder. Many upper classmen would take ad- vantage of the underclassmen. For some of the students it was tough for them to change their routines, going an hour later to eat lunch. It was scarey for some of those freshmen getting books knocked out of their hands by a junior or a senior. Being in high school, you had to take your classes more seriously. Classes were harder and you had to take your books home and do your homework. As for sports, the freshmen had more athletes than usual from one class. Many turned out for the junior varsity volleyball team. They also had a fairly good season they in basketball. They started out strong, then through the second half of the season, the starting five was moved up to the JV team. Ending the school year for golf and track, the golf team featured one junior and four freshmen so the future in golf looked bright. Not many freshmen went out for the track team but as the closing of the school year approached all freshmen were praying for the summer to appear. ▲ Billy Diehl gets the shot off against his Hebron opponent, as the Wildcats downed the Hawks. 60 — Freshmen Newel Anderson Brian Asche Brian Baacke Sean Barney Dawn Bartolac Robert Bayles Brenda Bernhard Karen Billbruck Scott Bocock Brian Bradley Sherrece Boston Jack Brys Pam Burkhardt Cassie Casten Judy Cassaday Melissa Centracchio Jennifer Cochran David Coburger Anita Coffman John Cole Barbara Corbett David Corey Lisa Cox Kelley Crowley Kevin Crowley Danny Cuevas Connie Cunningham Rob Dayberry Colleen Davis Jeff Dell Paul DeYoung Jennifer Dickerson Billy Diehl Jim Dines Jeff Earl Freshmen 61 Ricky Eland Shari Eland Patricia Ernest Buddy Fitchie John Foreman Tim Freeman Cindy Grah Mike Griffith Cheryl Guhl Deanna Harmon Skip Harmon Theresa Handley Roby Henn David Hoke Steven Jansma ▲ One of the freshmen on the golf team, Newel Anderson hits off the first tee in the Hanover Invitational. 62 — Freshmen Victoria Jung Shane Knowles Willie Koehler Delbert Kralek Ed Krga Bobby Kubiak Jeff Kubiak Karen Laczkowski Dolores Loudermilk Hugh Lockhart Krysta Lytle Mark Mayer Charlie McMillion Mickey McMindes Cindy Monix Carl Moore Deborah Morris Cheryl Muehlman Danielle Nolan Linda O ' Dea Jane Oborn Debbie Pallay Virginia Parker Bonnie Peck Roger Pflaum Mike Piepho Kim Pruski Terri Reader Robin Richardson Tami Sawaska Cheryl Sawyer Brett Schreiber Phillip Schreiber Thomas Schreiber Cindy Schutz Freshmen — 63 Vincent Schuring Michael Serabian Jocelyn Sheehy Terri Sheehy Gary Sheldon Susan Shroka Becky Sisney Dawn Stelow George Stamper Jennifer Stawicki Robert Stephenson Rodger Stricklin Bilal Subah Michelle Swiecki Ron Sykora Barbara Tolle Patricia Tomaszewski James Travis ▲ These freshmen cheer for one of the basketball games at Hanover.

That is exactly what the Class of 1985 at Hanover Central did. Sophomore work is harder with new classes such as consumer education and health, yet that did not damper the class ' spirit and go-power. Mrs. Millie Postma, class sponsor, noted in reference to Spirit Week, “As soon as this bunch of seniors (the Class of 1983) leaves, we will win the Spirit Jug. Many sophomores made the varsity basketball and wrestling teams. Miss Ann Thompson, girls basketball coach, said there is a lot of talent among the Class of 1985, but she planned to give them “just the right squeeze” of refinement to excel in the years to come. Patricia Sikma was one of the hard workers of the sophomore class. She was chosen by the guidance counselors as Hanover ' s Hugh O ' Brien Youth Foundation Outstanding sophomore.

One time period most likely to be remembered is their high school days and those ever-friendly teachers. They worked hard to have the students excel in life. In order to make a class of fickle adolescents into responsi- ble adults they had to mold and squeeze the student into perfection. “A teacher tries to get a student in- terested in things around them, because when they are out on their own they will have better ideas on how to get along in life,” said Mrs. Ruth Eskilson in regards to how she taught her independent liv- ing class. Mr. Greg Whitacre felt that a teacher had to “give just the right squeeze to get something out of them.” That something Mr. David Lemon and Mr. Joseph Fetty wanted and strived for was a “well-disciplined person.” “Freedom, imagination, creativity which is learned through art,” Mrs. Sharon Cataldi said, will help in other things other than art.” Many students claim teachers went out of their way to aggravate or annoy them. Teachers have been blamed for eating and drinking coffee in class or not grading tests for long periods of time.

Success of a student depended more on the ef- fort they put into the challenge than the push they were given. Mrs. Ann Jarret said that “Op- portunities come only through effort.” Mr. Rick Uhl believes that, in some cases, the self discipline and respon- sibility a student learns is more important than the subject matter.

Winning The Challenge At last, the long awaited day came when the Class of ' 83 stepped into school as seniors. No longer would they be considered underclassmen. They also knew they were looked up to and had to work up to their potentials. Competition for the Spirit Jug was very intense, as it was a fight to the finish. The classes were neck and neck as each spirit game was played at the pep ses- sion and slave auction. Sighs of relief, along with smiles and even tears, dotted the faces of seniors as the results were announced. The seniors walked off with the jug for the final time. A school record was set. Never had a class won the jug four years in a row. Ordering announcements, being fitted for caps and gowns and planning the closing months quickly ap- proached. These activities led up to the final days. These were the moments the class spent together. Exclusive events included the Senior Banquet, Senior Breakfast and most important of all, Graduation. Three years ago as freshmen, a miracle swept throughout the school. The Class of ' 83 had to up their Spirit Jug. The freshmen proudly displayed the hard earned “jug” in the trophy case. It was then decided that the class would work together to keep the jug and their school spirit soaring. The sophomore year rolled around the corner and plans were soon underway. A feeling of closeness began to build. The Class of ' 83 was like family. Car- ing and sharing with friends became more important. Spirit week competition was intense and sophomores were successful once again. They knew the effort eventually paid off. As they climbed up the ladder to their junior year, school became like a home-away-from-home. Breaking school records, and inventing ways to be unique were high on the list. Junior athletes contributed their skills to help win matches, games, and meets. Individual school records were bettered. 82 — Seniors Patricia Ann Allain Basketball Mgr. 9; Track Mgr.

Scott Claus Seniors — 83 IN A WORD IT’S LOTS OF Work It was a lot of work but well worth the effort. The experience brought all of us a lot closer,” said Mercedes Sheehy, Cedar Lake ' s 1983 Junior Miss. Fourteen girls entered the sixth annual contest. The girls were judged on scholastic achievement, poise and ap- pearance, talent, judges interview and physical fitness. The physical fitness routine was practiced at 6:00 a.m. three mornings a week for about a month before the program. Each girl created her own talent seg- ment which lasted from 90 seconds to two minutes. The talents ranged from dancing and singing to comic and pantomime skits. Three evening practices were held right before the contest to run through everything and polish it. To make the experience more memorable, the JayCees planned a roller skating party, make-up party and aerobics class, and an evening at Great Oaks Health Club. ► “I ' m A Nut” was the song Janet Bowyer sang dressed as the Planter ' s Peanut. Two talent awards were given, one for com- ic skits to Terry Huffnagle, and one for singing, awarded to Mercedes Sheehy.

JOE KUBIAK Seniors — 87 Seniors Sunk Again For the eighth year in a row, the seniors lost to the faculty in the National Honor Society ' s annual basketball game. Only once in the history of the game have the seniors won; in 1976. The seniors surged to an 8-point lead in the first quarter, but the faculty continued to chip away the lead and put the game out of reach in the final quarter, winning the game 49-38. Faculty team members had mixed feel- ings about playing in the game. Some, like Mr. Dick Norris, asked themselves “At my age, what am I doing out here?” Then there were those like Mr. John Grobail, who said, I just played my quarter to have fun, score my 2 points, and win. Even though the seniors lost, the faculty did compliment them. Mr. Arden Smith said, “They had a good attitude and it made the game enjoyable.” Many seniors, if not all of them, were disappointed with the game. “If everyone played like we did in practice, we would have done alright,” said Doug McKee. Senior coach Larry Suarez felt their downfall was the loss of Dave Patchin who left the game in the first quarter with a bone chip in his ankle. “We depended on Dave and Andy (Richart) to get all the re- bounds,” the coach said. ► Once someone calls a time out, the senior cheerleaders, Jane Yoth- ment, Gloria Brownd, Deb- bie Corbett, Terri Huffnagle, Carrie Gracz, and Kim Perfetti, were out on the floor leading classmates in cheers. ▼ After an inbounds pass from Bill Kozlowski, Dan Norris works the ball up- court against Mr. Arden Smith while Richard Solberg stands ready to assist.

Plant Expansion You can’t talk about getting involved” without mentioning the National Honor Society; one of the many organizations that worked to improve the school. Their biggest project, coordinated with Na- tional Junior Honor Scoiety and student council, was a landscaping project in the area behind Mr. Granger’s room. Shrubs, trees, flowers, and benches were added for the use of students. “It will make an unused area useful, said Mr. Jack Granger, National Honor Society sponsor. He also stated that the science classes will use this area for studying the plants put there and students will be able to use the area for recreation. National Honor Society member s had individual projects to help the school. Mr. Granger said that the individual projects are pro- fitable because they allowed the students to think and organize something by themselves. Mr. Granger did not choose or instruct the projects, he just helped get the materials and school cooperation. “It was dirty work, but we really had a good time,” stated National Honor Society member Cheryl Huseman.

FlN ALL Y Goodbye Once very dependent upon another, the Class of ' 83 closed one phase of family life to open another. Graduation arrived after a quick four years. The Class of ' 83 worked, laughed, and even cried together as a family would. As Joy McClymont said in her Valadic- tory address, “The Class of 83 was a special class. We were as a family caring and sharing. Yes, we had our differences, but we overcame them as time passed.” Each member of the class was special as they opened their lives and invited their familieis and friends to share in gradua- tion, it was one last chance to share our “family” lives.

But in spite of the fact that there were six returning let- termen, the squad dropped its next two matches. “We didn ' t have the will to win, Coach Uhl said, “They weren’t aggressive when they need- ed it.” A victory over Hebron evened the record at 2-2, but in their match against Kouts, Hanover let the even- tual PCC champions slip through their fingers in the third game, it was a disappointment the team would never recover from completely. There were no more wins for the snake-bitten Wildcats, but the spikers put up a tough fight against a stronger Westville team in the PCC Tournament. And while all but three of the team ' s members will return next year, senior Dave Patchin was named to the AII-PCC Boys Volleyball Team. In a year which brought out more players than ever before, the young junior varsity team suffered similar disappointment, managing a 2-6 record. “The team started out dropping two games to teams with less skill than us,” said Coach Mike Frazier. After intensive practices, the team showed it could compete with any school in the conference. “Our middle four matches each went to three games and in three of those four, we lost by the minimum two-point margin,” Coach Frazier said. “It was rough, but instead of quitting, the team finished the regular season by beating Morgan and Hebron in two games each.

Boys Volleyball — 109 Fall ’s Finest Since the change from one banquet to three separate athletic honors banquets last year, there has been both a tremendous response and turnout. The November 10 fall sports banquet was no exception. I think it is better to have them right after the season, it has more appropriateness,” Mr. John Brindley said. “It is a way of recognizing sports while they are still fresh. About 200 people were in attendance. in addition to their regular honors, Dave Patchin, Sherri Peck, and Cathy Hoeckleberg were named to the AII-P.C.C. conference volleyball teams. “I felt honored that I got the award, said Patchin. The whole evening was full of surprises, especially when coaches Thompson and Grady found their car full of streamers and balloons.

She also led in the scor- ing. We could’ve done better. We should’ve finished up at least 7-1 .

Everyone also hoped for a better basketball season. Our season started out slow. Toward the end we played more as a team,” said varsity member Tim Bevins. The season was better, but it wasn’t what we had hoped for. The finishing record was 3-18. The team was made up of eight juniors and one senior, Larry Suarez. What was the problem?

Varsity Basketball — 115 Movin’ On Up With their winning season of 12- 10, Coach Frank Kwasny and the freshmen boys showed they could win with high hopes and positive at- titudes throughout the season. Half-way through the season, though, four freshmen players were drafted by the junior varsity team. This left 10 players for both A and B teams and allowed for no substitu- tions. This could have had a dampen- ing effect, but as Coach Kwasny commented, “We remained com- petitive much to the chagrin of our opponents. It went reasonably well.” Through the rest of the season the attitudes changed; not for worse, but surprisingly, for the better. “The at- titudes changed . . . because the players now had the opportunity to get more playing time,” Coach Kwasny noted. “I think they felt good about that.” The drafting also meant that the pressure was on for the remaining players to pull-off a successful season. The team handl- ed it, the coach commented, It was a great experience for them. It will give them better opportunity to prepare for higher levels of competition.

The junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders had a new look this season with five rookies and six returning cheerleaders and the pom- pon squad helping our team to vic- tory. With the cheerleaders cheering on the crowd during the games and the pom pons entertaining the crowd and players during the half-times. Three Pom Cats went to summer camp. Those were Lori Pearson, Dana Martin, and Debbie Corbett, in Bloomington, Indiana. This year there was a total of twelve girls on the pom-pon squad. Mrs. Julie Westerhoff, the pom-pon sponsor, stated that the girls ' at- titudes were improved over last year. She added that they seemed to have more enthusiasm toward pom-pons. ◄ The Varsity Cheerleaders are: Front: Mia Johnson, Peggy Carasso. Middle: Susan Sikma, Janet Bowyer.

I think the cheerblock helps the team because when the guys know that they are being cheered for, they try to do better,” said member Robin Richardson. Many times students joined so that when the cheerblock met, they could get out of class. But the people who only joined to get out of class were soon singled out and identified as the ones who never showed up at the games. Mr. Fetty and Mrs. Farley soon started taking roll at meetings and games . Soon they had it out down to those who really wanted to be in the cheerblock. They stood behind the team for years, showing their spirit whether the team won or lost. The cheerblock population dropped as the season wore on, but it still was quite large with a running membership of 195 students. Even though the cheerblock was large in number, it wouldn’t have been a cheerblock without the cheerleaders. The freshman cheerleaders were a small group. Since the cheerblock only goes to varsity and junior varsity games, the girls are active members of the cheerblock. The members were urged to attend freshman basketball games as well. And many did Although freshman cheerleaders lead the cheerblock and help in ac- tivities they didn’t get as much recognition as the junior varsity or varsity. When asked why, Anita Coff- men replied, ”1 don’t think we worked hard enough at it to be as im- portant or as recognized as the junior varsity or varsity cheerleaders. I think if we worked harder we would definitely get more recognition. Cheerleaders are supposed to stand behind their teams and the cheerleaders did exactly that.

Nothing To Hide The atmosphere was friendly, the jokes, light and funny. The coaches honoring the team members and the players, showing their respect for their coaches. The annual winter sports banquet may seem a waste to those who are not involved in sports, but to those who are it’s a time to enjoy a good meal, good humor, and friendship. The coaches, who seemed tough and unrelenting, show their true fondness of their athletes, and it ' s a time to relax and joke around with their coaches. Mr. Farley stated, I think the banquet is a necessity because you need to honor students for their accomplishments and their hard work on the teams. So what we do is have a banquet for them and their parents. Some people think that only the athletes and coaches get recognition but much of the credit goes to the managers of the teams. Being a manager is fun, but they are definitely needed because when the coaches are coaching a game and someone gets hurt, they can’t take time out of the game to help them and that ' s where I come in. So I think managers are very important,” replied Cassi Caston. Besides taking care of people who get injured in games, the managers have to keep towels handy, help out in practices, depending on the sport, help keep stats, run errands, wash uniforms, and other menial tasks. The coaches, the athletes, and the managers all showed that with “Just the Right Squeeze” our teams could stay together. ▲ Nancy Xanders accepts her trophy for Best Freethrow Percentage.

Here, Skip Har- mon adds to the enthusiasm. ▲ Mrs. Phyllis Griffin, booster club president, announces that the meat raffle drawing is ready to begin. 4 Feeding hungry freshmen, like Jeff Dell, was one of the reasons the booster club set up the concession stand at the Penny Social again. Booster Club Varsity Club Pep Band — Advertising Remember squeezing your way through aisles of stores? Waiting to try on clothes, or buy groceries? People were practically “wall to wall” squeezing their way through. Patiently, you waited to be checked out. Today it isn’t hard or a real inconvenience to shop anymore . . . except for the Christmas rush. Clerks tended to be friendlier and more helpful when shopping. Why? Have you stopped and thought about it? Are people economizing and stretching their money? “I think everyone is trying to spend their money more wisely,” stated Lori Walls. Even though businesses don’t have the customers they are accustomed to, they still supported the yearbook. Consumers found they could economize and live by “just the right squeeze.” 134 — Ad Divider :riia ' jsmsn ...

You are no longer students, you are graduates — and adults. All Success! Congratulations and Felicitations, Charles C. Thornburg Success is speaking words of praise. In cheering other people ' s ways. In doing just the best you can. With every task and every plan. It ' s silence when your speech would hurt. Politeness when your neighbor ' s curt. It ' s deafness when the scandal flows. And sympathy with other ' s woes. It ' s loyalty when duty calls. It ' s courage when disaster falls. It ' s patience when the hours are long. It ' s found in laughter and in song. It ' s in the silent time of prayer. In happiness and in despair. In all of life and nothing less. We find the things we call success.

With summer around the corner, the students squeezed toward the out- doors. The clubs, organizations and sports take to the the outdoors with their activities. The honor societies, along with the student council, finished a major land- scaping project. The sports have moved from basketball and wrestling to baseball and track. The boys track team, after having many in- juries, still managed to have members go on to sectionals. Both boys and girls track would lose members who are seniors.
