And right on schedule, that certain atmosphere returned the first day. Sixth graders searching for lockers fought through the in- tricate weave of older students. Freshmen wearily waited to start new schedules and tried to hide their ner- vousness. Veteran high schoolers calmly watched for any new students in their classes. Teachers, however, said they enjoyed “the new beginning.” Students, on the other hand, said they waited with anticipation for fall break. Another kind of fall break took place when employees of the local Certified Supermarket, went on strike for several weeks. Shoppers found it an inconvenience because they had to drive further. In sports, Cedar Lake People reveil certiin things it prom, including Ings. is Tricii Funk, Colleen Davis, and Robin Richardson show briefly played host to the Olympic flame on its way to Los Angeles. Later, the girls won PCC titles in volleyball and basketball. The mid-February snow storm left students with four straight days off. The 1985 KEY: We Asked You Answered.” This yearbook theme brought more questions than the KEY expected. Why all the questions? The staff wanted stu- dent participation. Ten years from now when memories have faded a bit, the thoughts and feelings in the KEY will help bring these fleeting months back to life. With all these questions, students were able to voice their opi- nions and share their experiences. Questions varied from embarrassing moments to favorite songs to future plans. The KEY wanted students to know it was their yearbook. What do you think? Sophomore Din Beck brtik imces iltnr some incoungimnnl by guests at the homecoming dance.

OPENING Junior Miss contestants do the twist as part ol the physical fitness section ot the Jaycees — sponsored pageant. Over the morning announcements, Mr. Joseph Fetty introduced two new rules, spawning a con- troversy that would last until year’s end. The first rule declared that no student could wear hats or bandanas. Some were outraged, saying, What gives the school the right to start a dress code? Others shrugged and forgot in a few days. The next rule caused a worse storm: anyone with a hickie would receive half a day of suspen- sion. Students now accused the school of trying to judge morality. The main disapproval of this rule came when it was seemingly not enforced by any teachers or administrators. Students realized what they could get away with. Some were amused to think who would have been suspended. Senior Steve Vanco asked tor the privilege tor sweet revenge and answered with a pie for Mr. Gary Young. Personally, I think bandanas are tacky. As for hickies, what people do in their personal life is their own business, but it shouldn ' t be displayed in school. Krysta Lytle, junior Surprised Kay stall member Vinca Schuring asked why this picture appears in the yearbook. He received no answer. Yes! It shouldn’t be any of their (administrators’) business what people do on their free time. It’s your body; they shouldn ' t care. What next, uniforms? Carrie Mayer, sophomore Do you think the rules against bandanas and hickies are unfair? OPENING JUNIORS RULE IN VOLLEYBALL Competition between classes was always present, but it came out into the open one day in October. Shouting students packed the gym; posters and signs lined the walls. The atmosphere was electric, even before the team came out onto the court. Today, students witnessed the struggle between classes for respect and domination. It was the day of the all-school volleyball game. In its second year, this Student Council event promoted not only fun and class spirit, but good sportsmanship, as well. There was plenty of excitement, too. Points were awarded according to the spirit shown by each class; not to the winner of the match. The battle was waged for an afternoon. The freshmen upset the sophomores in these games, while the juniors easily demolished the seniors in two. In the final match, the freshmen fought hard, but lost in the end to the juniors.

On November 10, Chris was voted Cedar Lake’s 1985 Junior Miss. “It took a while to sink in.” But Chris said she did not enter the contest to win, noting, “I wanted to get to know the other girls better.” Chris was not the only winner. All 17 contestants benefited from the ex- perience. To them, it was a chance to get to know everyone, work together and have fun. “Everyone wants to win,” Jill Haddon said, “I went out just mainly to have fun and because I looked forward to it in my senior year.” The seniors offered some very qualified candidates. Everyone had a chance to claim the title, but some were in it just for the fun. “It was hard work, but we had fun,” remarked Lydia Rivera. We all had a good time and enjoyed ourselves.” “Down Memory Lane” was the theme for the ninth annual Jaycee-sponsored pageant. It was dedicated to Mia Johnson, 1984 Cedar Lake Junior Miss, who was killed in a car-train accident June 30. Serving as 1984 Junior Miss, Debbie Epperson commented, “There will always be a memory.” Competition was based on five categories: Pose and Appearance, Youth Fitness, Spirit of Junior Miss, Creative Arts, and Scholarship Achievement. Donna Dovichi won the Youth Fitness and Poise and Appearance awards. Sandi Fitch was honored for her Scholarship Achievement. First runner-up Melissa Staples was voted Spirit of Junior Miss. Cedar Lake’s 1985 Junior Miss Chris Wit- tgren also won in the Creative Arts category with her dramatic interpretation from “The Gift.” How did you feel when you wen t on stage? “I wasn’t nervous because of my ex- perience in dancing and the other pageant I was in.” Jill Haddon, senior “I was nervous at first. You’re nervous because of the waiting, but you feel real good once you’re out there.” Denene O ' Connell, senior “Even though I ' ve been on stage before, I was still nervous, but not as bad as I thought I’d be.” Lori Kruil, senior For days before the event, tension fill- ed the halls, readying the students to witness one of the bitterest rivalries in Hanover’s history. Posters materialized; some thanks to handy computer work by Mr. Fetty. The banners declared “Faculty Kicks, hardly what one ex- pects from a respectful administrator. In a few days, mysterious vandals marked the posters with “respectful” replies (the respect being for the teachers’ age): Faculty Kicks Geritol.” It was not dif- ficult to conclude that National Honor Society’s annual Senior Faculty basket- ball game was quickly approaching. The seniors took a new strategy against the faculty: a calm approach, dif- ferent from past years in that they were not planning the smash the decrepit teachers all over the gym floor. Their an- nouncements were subtle hints that even though the seniors might not win, the game would be a duel to witness and remember.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 On the contrary, the faculty gathered their threats into one final poem by the in- famous poet, Mr. John Gorball, on the day of the battle. Although the competitors were not at each others’ throats for weeks before, upon entering the gym on March 29, the rivalry was at the peak. Coached by veteran varsity basketball players Paul Steuer and Rick Beck, the seniors fiercely charged into battle, sur- prising the crowd by keeping the game close to the end. The faculty (with no coaches coaching, but two on the team) found the seniors a fiesty opponent. The final score was 77-71, the faculty remaining victorious for another year. But the whole feeling of the game was sum- med up in Bob Beck’s last second, full- court shot that went in a moment after the buzzer. The seniors never gave up.

The halls did not look like this on Friday. Streamers intertwine across the ceiling and sweep down the walls. Posters line the walls, proclaiming a victory over the Devils. Witty slogans like “Wildcats rushed — Devils flushed catch the eye and snickering approval flows through the halls. Several are illustrated with anything from Christmas trees to toilets. But strange decorations were not the only oddity; dress-up days were most popular. On Monday the school looked more like an unemployment office than a school. ' Most every oc- cupation was represented, even the mundane housewife. Tuesday filled the classrooms with many pairs: Twinkies, as they were called. Although this has never been an athletic school, on Wednesday the sportsmen turned out en mass. Joggers ran the halls and a fisherman was caught casting into one of Mr. Krol ' s fish tanks. Thursday ' s celebration was so popular that local radio stations announced the Nerd invasion. Along with all the nerds came the usual nerd romances and nerd traumas. Blue and red were the prominant col- ors on Friday. From leg warmers to make-up, anything in Cardinal Red and Columbia Blue was worn to school. The Student Council slave auctions did not bring in as much as previous years, but Mr. Landis made up the difference when he was sold to the junior and senior classes for $52. As festivities ended Friday night, the juniors re- joiced. In a week of fun and excitement, they earned the time-honored Spirit Jug. Their ability to turn oddi- ty into spirit was superior. The losers merely grumbled that it just came naturally to the juniors. Continued on page 16d SPIRIT WEEK ROMP. 16C What is your favorite part of Spirit Week? “Dressing up for School Colors Day. I like to get involved in school activities.” Patty Tomaszewski, junior “I like dressing up because its one way to see the school spirit.

For many girls, it was the biggest event of the year: a chance to dress up and go out with a new romance or a good friend. For some boys, it was a chance to uselessly spend money on a girl and wear an uncom- fortable tuxedo. But, believe it or not, boys did enjoy Prom. Prom was many things to many people, but all agree it was fun. Sponsored by the Class of ’86, Prom ' 85 was held at the After Four Club. The theme was Almost Paradise with music by Equinox. The band was special because one of it’s singers was freshman Cheryl Swiecki in her second gig with Equinox. Joe Parat was selected to serve as Prom King while Cathy Hoeckelberg was the lovely queen. To find the specific high points of Prom, the KEY asked, and you answered. What did you enjoy most about Prom? Being with my date. The music was really good. I was really surprised.” Barb Tolle, junior The food. It was good. The music was good also, but they should have played more different songs instead of repeating so many.

When band or choir is mentioned, the question comes up as to whether they are academic classes or extra-c urricular ac- tivities. Both can be taken for credit, so students in most band or choir groups are required to earn their grades. Pep band members, however, earn no credits. But many people refuse to accept music classes as equals to math or even home economics courses. It is true that many people are in music just to get an “easy grade,” but that is true of some courses in nearly every academic area. Others only see a purpose in music if the bands or choirs prove themselves in area competitions, which they do. So, when The KEY asked students about this mild controversy, you answered. Are band and choir important classes or extra activities? If you are going to go on in music, it ' s an important class. If you’re in it to have an easy class, it ' s extra-curricular. Mandy Xanders. junior “I ' m not in either, but if you like band and choir, it’s important to you . Jason Kellerman, sophomore Extra activities. You really don’t need them. Band and choir are there if you want them. Ericka Kallies, Ireshman Both. I have to put extra time into choir, but it’s still a class. Scott Deruntz, senior BAND CHOIR THE CLIMATE FIGURES Math was practical. How else would someone figure out how much the school lunch was over-priced? But many found math difficult. Success depended on an ac- cumulation of knowledge: all things learned in one year continued into the next. Business required not only knowledge of math, but an ability to organize that informa- tion into accounts, returns, and budgets. Beyond the required, math and business were not just work. To find out what really Frishmon Hnthor Bock tnd DiAnn Hi hit logolly share t heir many daily problems in one ol Mrs Postma ' s algebra classes. went on in these classes, The KEY asked: Whit was the funniest moment in your class? In Consumer Ed., the (junior high lunch) bell rang as usual and the clock in Mrs. Jar- rett ' s class buzzed. She thought it was a fire drill and sent us outside. When we returned she was still in the room. She told us she was only worried about herself because she had pneumonia and she couldn’t go out in the rain. (She was going to hide in the closet.)

BUSINESS MATH Whal would life be like if there were no telephones? What If there was no way to write? What if there was no way to talk or communicate? When sitting in an English class, staring at the clock, watching the minute hand move like the hour hand, no one stops to realize that without English, or any language, there would be no com- munication. Without some form of it, there could be no interaction or exchange of ideas. It also helps make impressions on others, especially when applying for ajob. Thespians and Drama are extentions of English. They involve an indirect com- munication: from the actor, through a character in a play, to the audience. Ac- tors must communicate not just single thoughts, but feelings to achieve an ef- fect. They must also use every aspect of Thespians Shawn Sheehy. Jocelyn Sheehy. and Mike Milanowski prepare lor an intense moment in the fall winter play ' ' Rehearsal lor Murder. ’ ’ English. To understand their characters, they must be able to comprehend implied emotions in dialogue; to present their characters they must be able to speak in front of a group. The Thespian Troupe had one of its better years, presenting two plays to the largest audiences yet. The fall winter play, Rehearsal for Murder was not a typical murder mystery. It was set in a theater, so it required minimal sets. Com- plex lighting provided the atmosphere, such as blue lights for flashback scenes. The spring musical, Oliver!” was in- novative because half the cast was junior high students, including the lead role. That role was filled by two boys, Tom Camp- bell and Brian Freeman; each getting to do one evening performance. Senior Erick Pearson line-tunes his performance lor the Spring musical, ‘‘Oliver! Erick also choreographed several Spring Spectacular numbers. ENGLISH THESPIANS J Freshman Deanne Mickey is momentarily distracted while trying to finish her reading in Mr. Landis ' sixth- period English class.

The birds are all resting atop the tropical forest ' s trees. The trees are cascaded with the vine growths entangl- ed in its many branches. The lake looks not at itself but reflects the picture around it. What is this you might ask? This is what a student would normally see on display while casually walking down the hall. Where is this done? This happens to be an every day assignment in art. Classes vary in that some do the human skeleton: others an unsuspecting stu- dent’s sneaker. Students learn about cer- tain types of pictures and learn about dif- ferent famous artists. Year after year the teachers think of new things to build, draw, and make. There are always new ideas flowing in an art room. Each idea is an original from a individuals imagination. How do they get some of the ideas for a new creation? On April 30, the top 20 calendar sales people were awarded with a trip to the Chicago Art Institute. Mrs. Sharon Cataldi’s main goal was that of inspiration and fascination. For an hour and half the group went with Mrs. Cataldi for explana- tions of some of the exhibits. For an hour later, the students were free to explore on their own. A trip like this will not be easily be forgotten, but will live on in their art work.

For a while, it seemed that the annual yearbook dance was not going to be held. As if fate was playing a dirty trick (with the help of the 1984 KEY staff), the yearbooks were not received until early February. Not a day went by that a staffer was not asked “When will the yearbooks be in?” Several tentative dates were set for the dance, only to fall through because the books failed to arrive or because bad weather arrived instead. But they did finally arrive and the dance was held after the Hanover Morgan Twp. basketball game in the back gym. Music was provided by disc jockey Dave Watt. At last students could pick up and sign their yearbooks. And, of course, many had to sort through the pile of old pictures to find all the embarrassing ones of themselves. Do you like beino in the yearbook, even if the picture is embarrassing? “No. It’s embarrassing!!” Jennifer Cochran, junior “Yes. I like to be embarrassed. I’m a wild kid.

In Home Economics, all students learned helpful skills from cooking pies to making a shirt. It went farther: one learned about nutrition and how to prepare different foods. Crafts, like rug making and sewing pillows, could help in time of need. In Oc- tober, Mrs. Jean Kirk organized a field trip to Jewel. At this food store, classes learned about pricing and how to select produce and meat. After leaving Jewel, everyone stopped at McDonald’s and had lunch, an important consumer activity. In physical education classes, students learned about the physical needs of their bodies. This tied in with Home Ec; often taken with Phys Ed. While learning about physical and nutritional needs remained important for a healthy life, some students did not think so when they had to run around the gym four or five times a day (as required in one class). Calisthenics were also a part of the teachers’ warm-up routine. From tennis for boys to gymnastics for girls, the varie- ty gave everyone a chance to find their strong sport. For the sake of those not athletically inclined, grades were based on participation. One six-weeks grade was based on classroom work where students learned about their bodies’ needs and how to obtain enough exercise and good food.

SPANISH SPEECH CHESS Visuil association is as important as verbal understanding, so Mr. Jack Granger explains currency ex- change questions. The increased requirements by the state to take more math and science limited the number of options tor students who could otherwise take more electives, such as several years of foreign language. Foreign language, for this school, meant Spanish and there were mixed opinions as to whether one year of Spanish was worth it. No one disputed the value of learning a second language. Some simply believed a single year allowed them to barely scratch the surface of the language. Others thought there was more to it than that. “It’s more important to learn about the people behind the language,” said Lyn- nette Urbanski, a sophomore in her first year of Spanish. One thing that the students did agree on was that there should be, if only one, other languages offered. Although Spanish is useful, other dialects, such as French or German, could be more of an asset in certain college majors or occupations. Unfortunately, such courses would face the problem that all elec- tive classes already had: competing for the students’ time. While there was a growing interest in languages, chess players were among a more rare breed. They met in sponsor Mr. Eugene Rajchel ' s room at lunch. While snacking on their lunch, they enjoyed challenging their minds with this game of logic. Concentra tion showed on their faces as they decided what move to take against their opponent to take the game. The group worked hard, just miss- ing a chance to compete in the state meet, but their legions were few. Know anyone with the ability to talk any Boy Scout out of his Eagle Badge? The speech team had an opening for such a find. The speech team, as the name says, com- peted using verbal skills. Flow well could someone come across when giving a speech? Could he compete against others in a debate? The competition was strenuous. Hanover ' s chess club consisted of: Den Wells. Sandi Filch. Kerry Farney. Tim Dines, and Dreg Ernest. Their sponsor, Mr. Eugene Rajchel, is not pictured. Sophomore Dave Jostos looks over at his neighbor Jackie Garrilano for the answer in Spanish, since English answers won 7 help here.

As the most productive student organiza- tion, Student Council faced a tough year with some small problems involving unsuccessful projects and uncooperative people. They tried to sponsor extra dances to appease the stu- dent cry for more dances. Unfortunately, there were complications over the lack of chaparones and a disc jockey. ‘‘The biggest problem was that there were many personality conflicts and a lot of seniors quit and left us with a very small group,” stated council member Jocelyn Sheehy. Sur- viving the conflicts, they sponsored two outstanding projects: Blood Drive and Students Against Drunk Drivers (SADD). What decent, respectable vampire would miss Student Council’s annual Blood Drive in liifiW April? They hid in the corners and behind chairs as students, teachers, and other adults donated 135 usable pints of blood: 40 over their goal. Daring were 53 who faced the nee- dle for the first time. A project with more direct, long-term effects on the lives of students was the formation of SADD, a national organization seeking to end the deaths of teenagers due to drunk driving. At the prom goers meeting, SADD passed out contracts for kids and their parents to sign saying that if the teen did drink, the parent would go get him, no questions asked. While the yearbook stall didn ' t win the Thanksgiving Food Drive class competition, Jill Haddon happily counts a day ' s worth of donations. Learn inn about culture in Americas Wild West.

LIFE DEATH ANSWERS Governor Robert Orr’s answer to ex- cellence in science education was greeted with “ick and “yuk” by biology students who involuntarily found themselves in front of dismantled frogs and cross-sectioned worms. Most took the queasy curriculum in stride, since they didn’t have much choice. Those with an avid interest, however, joined the Science Club, sponsored by Mr. Robert Krol. Their interests turned from “dead things” to liv- ing creatures as they traveled to Chicago ' s Brookfield Zoo on several oc- casions and collected aluminum cans and newspapers for recycling and as a fund raiser.

In March. That’s when the National Honor Society held its annual induction of new members. Ten students (two seniors and eight juniors) met the qualifications and passed review by a board of five teachers and administrators. They joined a group of 18 in various pro- jects around the school, including the ' ' Someone You Should Know,” Senior Faculty Basketball Game, and the upkeep Sinlors md thilr pirints iri ricognlztd it i bind concert each year.

EDITOR S NOTE The KEY staff regrets that the pictures for Honors Night and the National Honor Society Induction were not taken due to photographer error. Both events are extremely important in the academic lives of Hanover students and should be recognized as such. The band photos were used because they were the most ap- propriate pictures available for these pages. ACADEMIC HONORS of the courtyard. Only two nights a year find the academic rewarded: National Honor Society Induction and Honors Night. Though both allow the students to be recognized and honored for their achievements, is it unfair that athletes have three nights that they are rewarded? Some argue that many more awards are given out at Awards Night than at any sports banquet. But should not the academic honors receive more attention? The KEY asked and you answered to the question: Which kind of award means more: academic or sports? Academic. Later on in life, it proves more about you.

When I see students’ attitudes and grades improve because of my helping them with work or because of the use of punishments to help them. I feel most rewarded when I see the new attitude. Mr. Joseph Felly, principal When I can help someone, even in a small way, and when I can see a benefit for both of us, it is rewarding to me. Mrs. Elaine Edwards, secretary It is rewarding at that moment when I see a student suddenly understand a problem he has been struggling with. Since a teacher can ' t always be sure of when or if they reach every student, you have to be pleased when you can actually tell that a student understands — especially if they can appreciate it, too. Mr. William Whilesline, business The contact with the students especially when they come back and see you and tell you how they’re doing.” Mrs. Marion Heldt, guidance secretary “Probably during the summer.” Mrs. JoAnne Gruber, nurse We don’t get a chance to see our in- fluence on students like teachers in a classroom. But it’s rewarding when you can help a student who comes in to the office with a problem.” Mrs. Judy Lueder, bookkeeper “Probably when I get a chance to sit down and talk to kids on a positive note. In most cases, kids don’t get to know me in a positive way. When someone walks through my door, I usually wonder what they ' ve done wrong now.” Mr. David Lemon, assistant principal Teaching, for me, is rewarding when students recognize their own achievements, then try to build on it. If they learn to solve a problem, even a small one, that is an achievement, and should be recognized. Teachers and students operate in an environment of criticism, so I try to recognize that, collec- tively, small accomplishments are just as important as major achievements. I try to be demanding and when the results are positive, that makes teaching worthwhile.” Mr. Mike Frazier, jounalism School Botri Members loclode Mr Sam Torlorici, Mrs Patricia Kocot, Mrs. Lillian Thornburg, Mrs Judith Stoll, and Mr. William Lueder.

SENIOR STATS JUNIORS TIME DECISIONS With two years of high school to go, juniors became the middlemen. They could not be as crazy as seniors or as serious as freshmen. Most tried to juggle extra-curricular activities with a job, not to mention regular homework. Some were successful, while others struggled with the responsibility. Some juniors were already thinking of college or making plans for after graduation. But not all juniors were the intellectual type. Another big juni or concern was their social lives. Where to go? What can we do? New drivers’ licenses were exercised regularly to take advantage of later curfews. They quickly discovered new places to go and things to do. We asked the Class of ' 86 about their biggest junior-year concerns and they answered: What are you most concornod about and what do you spend the most time on? “I spend the most time on homework, (and) the plays. I’m most concerned about college, probably.” Sue Shroka, junior I’m mostly concerned about being around people who I can really talk to. I would guess my spare time would be concentrated on going to games or, as any junior would do, study.” Sean Barney, junior Newel Anderson Brim Asche Brian Baacke Sean Barney Dawn Bartolae Brenda Bernhard Karen Biibruck Scott Bocock Sherrece Boston Pam Burkhardt John Carey Cassie Casten Ed Clark Ronald Clemens David Coburger Jennifer Cochran Anita Coffman Barbara Corbett David Corey Lisa Cox Kelly Crowley Kevin Crowley Colleen Davis Bob Dayberry Jeff Dell JUNIORS Jtnnifer Dickerson Cheryl Drinski Micky Eland Patricia Ernest Baddy Fltchle John Foreman Jayna Foust Tim Freeman Cindy Brah Kike Griffith JUNIORS Carl Moore, i varsity wrestler, takes a good look at his North Newton opponent. JUNIORS ENTERTAIN A new driver’s license, a tank of gas, and old friends didn ' t always add up to trouble for juniors. So, we asked them: How do you havo good clean fun? Go out to the movies or for pizza. Then after that, we just go out driving around and stuff. Cassie Caster i, junior I go dancing with my friends. I love go- ing to Chicago and just bumming around.” Jayna Foust, junior “I don’t. How can one have good clean fun in today’s world?” Mark Mayer, junior Go out with friends from my youth group and do different things.” Karen Bilbruck, junior “By getting crazy and having a bunch of friends with you. Going roller skating or going to parties, too.” Sherrece Boston, junior “I work with the handicapped on Friday nights.

So, sophomores tried to come up with new ideas to fit in better. Yet, in spite of a few extra-curricular activities and occa- sional parties, it was tough to get socially ‘‘established.’’ This wasn’t always true, but most tenth graders ended up in small groups of their own, talking only to peo- ple with good reputations. Since music provided a common bond, The KEY asked sophomores: What is your favorite musical group? “I don ' t have just one; DePeche Mode, D2, Tears for Fears, Human League, Nick Kershaw.” Jenai Stocking, sophomore “Van Halen, Sammy Hagar. Mike Holobawski, sophomore “White Snake.

Sophomores might have known a few, but didn’t want to show it. The only ones who respected them were the junior high students. They never do too well in Spirit Week and rarely appear on varsity teams. Misconcep- tions about high school have plagued them for years, as well as older brothers and sisters. But freshmen were a precious resource to the school. They were honor students, athletes, actors, and future student body. Everyone was a freshman once, and maybe remembers how it felt. As low men on the totem pole, The Key wanted to know how the freshmen felt this year, so we asked and they answered. Is high school what you expected? It’s not a whole lot different from junior high, but you are more privileged.” Karen Bainbridge, freshman “It’s just like starting junior high all over again.” Terry Panice, freshman “I thought it would be hard and it is.” Mike Randall, freshman No. I didn’t expect it to be as hard.” Steve Kil, freshman Jason Darnell Shannon Davis Gary Dema Deanne DeVona Laura Dines Christine Dixon Wally Egyed John Elswick Laura Ferry Mike Fitchie Lisa Foreman Erick Foust Sean Gaines Jason Gerald Curtis Giacolona LoAnn Gilkey Sam Goff DeAnn Hahn FRESHMEN Caught between desses by e yearbook photo- grapher, Tammy Sheehy has no where to escape except the inside of her locker.

At 11-4, Hanover’s runners achieved the school’s second best dual meet record. When a team does well there is something being done right. Our team improved with each member,” said Paul Steuer, the team ' s number two runner. The addition of freshman Sam Goff definitely helped our team. Coach Strawbridge helped much more in his second year. He pushed us much further than last year.” Having a few seniors on the team really helped for coaching other runners and setting examples. Some say seniors make the team. But according to Coach Strawbridge, this was a total team effort. He will also have a good nucleus of seniors again next year as Mel Whitkanack, Rob Henn, and Skip Harmon return. Did you reach your full potential as a cross country runner?

I was extrememly pleased.” With a tourney record of 7-4, the JV showed a spark of its own. Why is it important to have JV teams? “A JV team is essential for a winning var- sity team.

Though a spark of hope re- mained, no one expected the boys varsity basketball learn lo repeat their surprising leal of ' 83-’84. But the Wildcats did not completely disappoint; they finished a competitive season with a record at .500. Having lost five tough seniors from last year as crucial pieces of the team puzzle, the underclassmen had lo fill in. The learn had only four veteran seniors: Paul Steuer, Larry Glidewell, Brian Henson, and Rick Beck. Three sophomores filled in the blanks: Mark Gruenhagen, Bob Briggs, and Mike Holobawski. According to senior Paul Sleuer, the main learn main goal was to play both offense and defense as a learn.” At limes, the strong pieces to the puzzle fit together, pulling the team to a victory. A main piece was Bob Kubiak, averaging 18 points and 12 rebounds a game. It was obviously a year for individual and learn improvements, building a promising group for next year.

Even when the parts are there, they do not always fall together. It was not quite that for the boys junior varsity; some of the pieces were missing. Confidence is important; but a lack of confidence could have been a major reason for losing games. The players had to deal with the fact that their opponents usually had more experience. “They (opponents) had mostly juniors which counts for more experience. Having all sophomores and freshmen, we needed more time just playing,” commented Coach Royce McDougall. The highlight of the season was the PCC tourney. Even though they did not win the final game, the team played their best during the tourney. The final game was lost by only three points. “But they were three good games,” said Coach McDougall. Overall, the season was a disappoint- ment to the team. When looking back, I felt that at times, they played well. Lack of consistency was our weak point; the season ended on a positive note, though.” Have you ever made an amazing shot, one that seemed to defy the laws of nature? “In the eighth grade, I made two free throws in a row to put the game into over- time against St. Michael ' s.” Ted Jenkins, sophomore BOYS JV BASKETBALL ■MMMU bJiIRhi FROSH NEVER SAY DIE S mB m St Compared to the other basketball teams, the freshman team was quite dif- ferent. It faced problems that are almost the opposite of the JV and varsity teams, but are no easier to solve. The coach had to adapt to a different group each year. Success was measured not in the number of games won, but in how much the team grew. It is difficult to judge each season’s team because each year provides a new group to coach. Coach Frank Kwasny said, “The rules allow for only freshmen on the team, and maybe a sophomore if he is at a lower skill level. Each year we get different people at various skill levels.” The freshman year is considered a time to learn and grow in academics and sports. But with all the importance placed on athletics, it is hard to believe that any basketball team could be over-looked. But many students do not know that a freshman basketball team even exists. “It doesn’t hurt the team,” remarked Coach Kwasny. “The important thing is for the freshman basketball team to play as many games as they can.” The team did get good experience and practice from 18 games and the Lowell tourney. Despite their 2-16 record, the team showed promise. “They were tenacious and gutsy. Their attitude was ‘never say die. They had excellent basketball potential. With hard work, those skills can be developed,” Coach Kwasny remarked. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Round Robin PCC Record 0-7 Season Record 2-16 Opponent HC OPP.

FIGHTING SHADOWS OF DOUBT Working with a team and striving to make it better is one of the endless quests that coaches go on. As soon as one problem is conquered, another one is around the corner. Coach Carol Grady felt that even though the junior varsity girls played more as a team, they needed to work on the fundamentals of basketball. ‘‘All year we had trouble in the third quarter, commented Miss Grady. To compensate, ten players were used every game. ‘‘Everyone was fresh and full of pep then, she said. Another shadow around the corner was the team’s inexperience. Considering the size and age, a season record of 10-8 was good. Nine out of ten players were freshmen, who had to learn the dif- ferences between junior high strategy and what they were to face now. Because of older players on the other teams, we h ad to learn a more complex defense to keep up with their offense,” said freshman Carolyn Xanders. With youth came a smaller size; the players ranged from 5 ' 4 to 5 ' 8 . But they were able to fill in the gap between them and taller op- ponents by putting that space between their feet and the floor. Another ray of light, according to Coach Grady was that “we generally never got behind in a game.” Kris Slurp and Sherri Sullivan light lor the rebound in their 34-2 1 win against the River Forest Ingots.

The varsity girls had that chance. Once their goal was set, there had to be dedication following it. No matter how much a practice hurt or how much sweat was poured, con- sistency was vital in making a PCC Tourney Championship dream a reality. Practice for the tourney required sharpening shooting skills and concentration on plays. The dream of a championship was the underlying fuel to trudge on. Why was it so important to win the PCC? Mostly, for the seniors we had, eight of them, and they really wanted to win because of it being their last year,” said player Ginny Foreman. It was important to win against Boone Grove because we had the ability.” When following a dream, the road is not always easy. The last game in our PCC tourney was very frustrating. We knew we had the ability to beat our opponent, Boone Grove. Our team had the ability to win and we did, Foreman added. After winning the PCC, every sore muscle and dreaded practice was forgotten. The discipline and thoroughness of their coach paid off with their victory. The varsity girls certainly showed it could be done with theii determination. And how did Coach Ann Thompson fee about all of this? A mysterious gorilla ap- peared in the cafeteria the week after the tourney to give the players balloons.

Wrestling is often overlooked due to the extensive knowledge needed to enjoy watching it. It is necessary to know the holds and the way of scoring to “get a grasp” on the sport. Also, it is not so ob- vious a team sport; it required knowledge of the individual wrestlers. Being in a sport of individuals allows players to set their own goals and work at their own pace. Coach Greg Whitacre not only finds success just in a winning season for the team, but also in individual accomplishments. In November, sophomore John Willems was the first ever tournament champion. Each match adds points to the team’s total; if a player does not win but accumulates some points, he is beneficial to the team. The team has improved greatly over past years. “We are becoming very com- petitive with the schools twice our size, remarked Coach Whitacre. One of the grapplers’ greatest set- backs was lack of support. It created a negative feeling about being a wrestler. Coach Whitacre commented, “At one time, we had about half a team — try playing basketball with three people.” Practice attendance was poor, but those who showed up were determined to work. “The ones who show up and care are as dedicated and as good as kids in almost any other sports program anywhere, said Coach Whitacre. What is the worst you have ever been hurt in a meet or practice? I ripped some muscles in my neck in a meet. I didn ' t have to go to a doctor because I’m a man, but it hurt.” Scott Campbell, freshman WRESTLING _ Freshman Michelle Croak duels one ol Lacrosse ' s best sprinters in the last 60 meters ol this PCC round-robin meet.

Though the calendar exclaim- ed April — SPRING!!, the cloud that formed from exhaled breath whispered of cold. Discarded sweats laid like forgotten flags along side the never-ending black path. The runners did not feel the cold; they felt only the blood pumping under their skin, into tightening muscles. Cold air flooded the lungs, each breath reaching deeper, yet finding less oxygen. The runner pushed on, knowing that if she let down her guard against fatigue, weakness would take over. Like a crack in a dam against water, a moment of uncertainty could cause a runner to lose a race. Concentration turned to finishing one more lap, one more sprint, reaching Lining up lor a sprint race, freshman DeAnn Hahn takes the first spot in front of Missy Holeman and Michelle Croak against Westville LaCrosse. for that goal. Seniors Cathi Hutzler and Melissa Staples reached a special goal by qualifying for sectionals. Cathi placed well, 10th in shot pul, and missed a spot in the discus by a mere two inches. Freshmen created new hope and spirit on the team, too. Coach Carol Grady, noted their experience would make for a stronger team next year. The worst meet was at Boone Grove. It was a loss that contributed to the rest of the season. The team simply did not perform to its full potential. The team agreed that they were not beaten, but destroyed. After a long talk in a team meeting and working out at more practices, they were ready to try again. Our best game was the meet right after the Boone Grove disaster, everyone met their goals or exceeded them, Coach Grday said. This says a lot for our team.

BOYS VABSITY TRACK r BOYS IMPROVE WITH TOUGHER SEASON u u u n Although it wasn ' t a remarkable season, there was, in the words of Coach Mike Frazier, tremendous improvement. The team fin- ished the season with a record of 6-8 in dual meets. When the Hanover and Lowell Relays are combined with that, the record improved to 12-11, a respectable mark. The factors in the improvement are many. The year started with strenous conditioning. According to Coach Frazier, “a person that has conditioned properly is less prone to in- juries later in the year.” Also important was the addition of an assistant coach, Mr. John Gor- ball, who really helped with weight training and field, events. Sophomore Jeff Milanowski stated, “I think the conditioning program was tough this year, but it got me in better shape for the beginning of the season. Another factor was the experience of the team. Six seniors returned and stayed for most of the season. Although many team members improved greatly and several fell just short of qualifying for sectionals, two did not. Sophomores Ted Jenkins and Bob Briggs earned spots in the post-season meet. Jenkins turned-in a solid performance, pole vaulting 11 ' 6 , and just missing at 12 . Bob Briggs earned his spot by high jumping 5 ' 10 , but like many others, had trouble with his footing on a wet track at Highland High School. Junior Mark Mayer received the “Most im- proved award at the Spring Sports Banquet. He was only four seconds from qualifying in the sectionals and just three seconds off the school record. Other award winners were Ted Jenkins, Most Valuable Performer; and Sean Barney, Mental Attitude Award winner. Although the team loses many seniors, Coach Frazier said, “We may not have the team depth next year, but I look for several individuals to earn all- conference honors.

Although no one expected a miracle turn-around like the Chicago Cubs in 1984, that did not mean that the fans or the team gave up hope. With an idea of “never-say-die, the varsity baseball team won two games out of 23: a record not too bad considering what the team went through. Poor weather and the lack of a field at the start of the year forced the team to practice inside. When the team took the field against Beecher for their first game of the year, it was the first time most of the players had been on a diamond all year. First baseman Dave Uran said because of the situation, We were a little rusty over the first couple of games. We needed to be more consis- tent, make the easy plays, and not strike out as much.” Inexperience also plagued the team. “Out of 18 players, 12 did not play last year, remarked Coach Arden Smith. With only one senior (catcher Paul Thornsberry), the rest of the team was made up of five juniors, four sophomores, and two freshmen. Coach Smith also said that “the team’s pitching was its strong point. And with most players returning, Wildcat fans, like Cubs fans can say “Wait ' til next year!” VARSITY BASEBALL The Golf Teems include Varsity: (Front): John Foreman, Denny Cokenour, Newel Anderson, Rob Dayberry, and Coach John Brindley Junior Varsity: (Back): Jason Darnell.

Think of the possibilities: tans, exercise, growing in- dividually, and learning new things. Could this be a sport? Yes, it is a surface view of golf. What it does not show is the concen- tration, measuring, checking and, of course, total silence. Judging the slopes and distances was not easy, a steady hand and kean eye were required. Varsity golfer Rob Dayberry voiced that they were not ready at the beginning of the season. If they had been better prepared as a team, the record would have been better. Having only 16 golfers at the beginning of the season, all of them underclassmen, it was hard to get them prepared. This squad featured just 12 members on both varsity and junior varsity. Considering the size of the team and the amount that each individual put in, the season was good. Over the year the team steadily grew in knowledge of their sport. In the first matches, the varsity team’s average was 204 strokes. Later it was 190. John Foreman held the best individual game with a three-over-par 38. While there was always room for athletic ability, golf took concentration on the nature of the course.

Anyone who has ever been to an athletic banquet, whether as the athlete or with a brother or sister, knows that the main event besides the food are speeches by all the coaches. After a while, one discovers that each speech has one thing in common (other than sports): it does not mean much to anyone who was not on the team. Also agreed among students is that coaches sometimes get carried away. The 1985 KEY went to find how students would solve that problem, so we asked and you answered: If you were the coach, what would you say when presenting awards at the athletic banquets? I would say a few funny things about each player, talk seriously about the season for two minutes, and then give the awards. Like Miss Thompson, not Mr. Strawbridge. Chris Wittgren, senior “I would mention as many positive things about players as a team and as in- dividuals. Also, I would share a couple of remember-whens to show spirit.” Sean Barney, junior I’d say as little as possible so as not to bore the people and to keep things short and simple.” Dave Petros, junior “I wouldn’t say anything at all because everyone would already be asleep from the coaches beforehand.” Cindy Grah, junior ATHLETIC HONORS 1984-1985 ATHLETIC HONORS Jodie Uran presents the 1985 PCC Round-Robin end 1985 Senior Athletes Awerds were presented to Tournament trophies to Mr. Felly.

GRADUATION SENIORS EARN MOMENT OF GL ORY It is June 2nd; a cool breeze blows in the lobby doors, making this year dif- ferent from others in that it is not stifling hot. The hallway billows with blue and maroon robes. Later, parents and friends shuffle through the mass to deliver bou- quets of flowers to girls and handshakes and congratulations to fhe boys. Quickly the gymnasium is occupied with the largest crowd of the year for the annual climax called commencemenl. At ten minutes ' til two, the band files in- to their seats and strains of Brian’s Song move the air. It sets a melancholy mood. Outside the seniors line up in the hall, exchanging last minute words and last minute memories one last lime. Soon the ceremony begins with Pomp and Circumstance as two honor guards, Patty Ernest and Karen Bilbruck, lead the senior class to their seats. The combination of the music and that Iasi walk bring tears to a few seniors ' eyes. The rear guards, Jennifer Stawicki and Mark Willy, end the entrance. After the national anthem and a few words from Mr. Fetty, Jill Haddon rises to give the Salutatorian address. Following her are co-Valedictorians Shawn Sheehy and Sandi Filch. Sandi ' s speech strikes the minds of many juniors present because she reads Robert Frost ' s The Road Not Taken, a poem which they studied in English. As tradition dictates, senior choir members sang A Special Place with clarinet accompaniment by Greg Ernest. Each graduate was in the spotlight when called up on stage to receive his or her diploma. Soon the moment arrived that all had been waiting for: the tassel ceremony. Lead by Melissa Staples, the Class of 1985 moved their tassels from right to left in unison. Then, with a final cheer, 88 blue and maroon caps were cast toward the rafters. When they came down, 88 lives would change forever. WSSEU JUNE 6: DA Y OF DELIVERANCE Amazingly, there was one day of school that everyone actually looked forward to: June 6, the last day. No longer would we pack ourselves like sardines on endless bus rides. No longer would we endure morning announcements, waiting to hear of a new rule for which detentions would be assign- ed. No longer would we eat pizza in the cafeteria every Thursday. Algebra students would no longer face torturous homework assignments from Mrs. Love. Gone were the smelly dissected worms and frogs from biology. Silenced were the corny jokes in Mr. Gorball’s band class. There would be no more athletic prac- tices to sweat over. Student Council pro- jects were now history. The last sophomore raffle ticket, a loser, of course, hit the trash can. The Cat Tales newspaper staff had gored its last ox. Classrooms which, somehow, could be simultaneously frigid and feverish emptied with a speed any track coach could be pro- ud of. Textbooks burst from lockers like hostages returning home to freedom. Teachers actually smiled. At 10 a.m. the doors strained at their hinges and a vacuum created by fleeing adolescents peeled old posters off the Can- dy Commons bulletin board. Incredibly, most didn’t even pause at the vending machines. Perhaps it was fear of beint trampled to death. Perhaps it was instinct like lemmings running to the sea. One last time, the big yellow sardine can: bulged, then chugged on out to 133n Avenue. We were free! Vacation was here We made it through! But as the last blue-jeaned bottom hit ttv sticky green vinyl bus seat, the first tru sound of summer vacation was heard whei someone asked, “Whadda ya gonna do?’ And true to form, someone answered, ‘ dunno. I’m bored.” It was a perfect day.
