A COMBINATION OF (ALAPENO PEPPERS AND TIME forced sophomore Heather Beck to flame- out with a third-place Spirit Games finish. 2 Opening — Key combination Right on schedule, that certain but familiar feeling returned to the once empty halls. Had it really been three months since these lockers were open? But the first day of school had started. Teachers took their customary stance. Administrators took one last deep breath. Sixth-graders frantically searched for the right lockers. Freshmen waited nervously to start their first day of high school. Veteran high schoolers waited around for the first bell to start another long year of school. When that bell did ring, students jumped quickly into the swing of things. And their dust took months to settle. The boys varsity volleyball team took fifth place in the state tournament. Junior Miss competition intensified the lives of more than 20 girls before Michelle Swiecki won the honor. In the Battle of Classes, seniors dominated Spirit Week to claim a second consecutive Spirit jug. What was the key to their success? It was in working for and finding “The Right Combination. JUNIOR JOHNNY WILLEMS had the right combination of moves during his 24-3-1 season, including this win against River Forest. STATE-RANKED SENIOR Skip Harmon, at 155 pounds, earns a 16-0 first-period technical fall in crushing River Forest ' s T. Mills. 3 Opening A S° UD C ombinat,on The Fabulous 15 found the right combination as they turned-in a record performance in answering Lowell High School ' s human pyramid-building challenge in December. With only three hours of practice before taking on Lowell ' s veteran team, the Wildcats swept Lowell off their feet in just 1 5.78 seconds to claim the host ' s trophy. In another case, the 1986 Key yearbook staff proved that with the right combination of students, anything was possible with a positive effort. Staff members raised a record $4,265 in ad sales, more than $1,000 over the previous record set in 1982. Because of this, the size of the 1986 KEY was increased by 16 pages over the ' 85 edition and more color pages were added.

It ' s the fun that counts I atking more and more people into the gym, the students struggled to find a seat in which they could witness the annual Student Council Volleyball games. Mounting rivalries hit an all time high when the juniors played the seniors. The seniors fought hard, and the juniors re- turned with equal strength, and were suc- cessful. The score see-sawed back and forth as the gym echoed with cheers for a favorite team. Then the outcome was final. The Class of 1987 prevailed, beating the seniors two games in a row. The defeat taught a member of the senior team about winning and losing. Dave Petros, senior player, commented “I think the game was a good learning ex- perience and we all enjoyed it greatly. After all the cheering, the sophomores pitted their skills against the freshmen. The freshmen put out a valiant effort to stop 8 S IihIi-iiI Council Volleyball defeat, but it was all in vain as the sophomores won the match in two straight games against the freshmen. Even though they lost; the freshmen kept in good humor about it all. I think the games are a good idea, freshman Cyndi Connor said. They really increase school spirit. The winning experience influenced sophomore player |ohn Walker to comment, It was awesome! Totally awesome! Then the two winning teams, the juniors and the sophomores, played each other. The sophomores tried to use the skills that had beaten the freshmen, but the juniors outplayed them with increased team work and expert serving by Phil Babin and Mike Brady. With strong defense, the juniors beat the sophomores in two games to become the 1985 Student Council Volleyball Champions. IN AN ATTEMPT TO BUMP THE BALL, sophomore Martha Willy slides and falls while playing against the juniors in the second game of the day. SHOWING GREAT CONTRAST in clothing and help- ing the junior team defeat the seniors Dan Beck remarked, It was a piece of cake.

Spirit Games STRAINING FACES such as those of freshmen Derek Skievaski and Li McElmury struggling against the sophomores reveal the intensity of the Spirit Games. IN THE JALAPENO PEPPER-EATING CONTEST, senior Vince Schuring flamed-out at 18 peppers to take second place in the hottest competition of the day.

This was the beginning of a week of fun, games, and the feeling of competition. The Battle of the Classes had begun. Halls were decorated from end to end and top to bot- tom, predicting victory over the Rensselaer Bombers. On Monday your worst dream had com e true. The nerds had invaded as students were dressed in the exquisite nerd fashion. Tuesday students did more than act like animals, they dressed and looked like the real thing. Tne school took a turn for the better on Wednesday as students dressed up to represent the occupation they liked best. Nuns, priests, and other sorts of “professionals” roamed the halls. Thursday students got all turned around as Backwards Day overtook students, f ri- day brought many people dressed in Car- dinal red and Columbia blue, literally from head to foot. Anything that could be col- ored in school colors, was. The Student Council slave auction brought in a generous $225. Michelle Swiecki sold for the most money; pur- chased by the sophomore class for $87. As the activities ended Friday night, the seniors rejoiced. The week of fun and games was rewarded as the Class of ’8f� won the Spirit |ug for the second year in a row. The losers took it in stride and, as usual, said they would do better next year. 12 Spirit Week VETERAN BALLOON TOSSERS |ohn Foreman and Rob Dayberry start the balloon toss with high hopes, but juniors |eff Ashcraft and Charles Heflin were vic- torious over the seniors.

But traditionally familiar Girls surreptitiously eyed the guys as they strolled through the halls, wondering if they would be asked by one of them. The week passed in a flurry of buying new outfits and ordering flowers after the Homecoming invitation finally came. Mrs. Sue Roller, assisted by seniors Terri Sheehy, Jennifer Stawicki, and Jocelyn Sheehy prepared the script, practice schedule and decorations for the royalty box. However, there was more to the occasion than just tradition and practice. I don ' t mind helping at all because Mr. Krol has so much else to do and I like doing it, Mrs. Roller commented. It ' s always the same night, though, as my daughter Tracy ' s basketball games, so I haven ' t been to the dance for the past two years. For the first time. Homecoming king candidates escorted the o ueen candidates instead of each of them having their own dates. Student Council decided this, but let the candidates choose their own escorts. Between the |V and varsity games, the pom pon girls formed a half circle around the candidates as Mr. Joseph Fetty, principal, told a little about each one. Cheers of agreement greeted Dani Nolan as she was named Homecoming queen. After the varsity basketball team defeated Renesselaer, 85-62, the crowd regrouped in the cafeteria for the dance. Disc jockey Dave Watt, a former student, came back from Texas for the special occasion. His fast music set the pace as students prepared to get down. Halfway through the dancing, a spotlight identified the king candidates and escorts. After brief introductions, John Foreman was crowned king. I was surprised when I won, but it really didn ' t matter. All five of us candidates are friends, and I would have been happy for anybody who won, Foreman said. Energetic dancing mellowed with the evening, until 11:30 when the fun and excitement ended and the memories began. - Homecoming MOONLIGHTING PART-TIME as Marryin ' Sam, Mr, Krol, daytime biology teacher, takes a break from performing the ceremonies.

SENIORS VINCE SCHURING and Cheryl Muehlman sway slowly, dancing to the music of disc jockey Scott Wilson. 16 Sadie Hawkins Dance A PARTY MOOD Limited to country style CONTENTLY SLOW DANCING with each other are juniors Leslie Schluttenhofer and Dan Beck. Laughter filled the air as students and teachers were joined by Mar- ryin ' Sam (Mr. Robert Krol) at the Student Council ' s annual Sadie Hawkins Dance on October 25. Attendance was not at an all time high, but the cowboys that were there had a lot of fun dancing and partying with the cowgirls. “Not a lot of people came but people who did had a grand time, said Mr. Krol. Music at the dance was supplied by Scott Wilson. “I feel that the Sadie Hawkins Dance got off to a slow start but it was soon enriched by the music playing, said sophomore Dan Barney. Wedding services, offered for 25 cents, were a big hit with those who decided to spend the rest of their night married to their dates. Even Mr. Krol was married to junior Elise Keilman. Mr. Krol was not the only faculty member who married. Mr. Fetty and Mrs. Krga were also joined in unofficial wedlock along with the many other student couples. There weren ' t enough people there, but it was fun. I liked the marriage ceremonies and pictures, but most of all I liked the music, said sophomore Carolyn Xanders. Council members expressed disappointment over the turnout, losing about $60 on the night. I think more people should have supported the Student Council, because they represent the shcool. Why choose them if we aren ' t go- ing to support them? said sophomore, Terry Panice. DURING A FASTER DANCE, freshman Tracy Haberlin shows a few moves before the traditional wedding ceremonies. TAKING ADVANTAGE of the country seating Ginny Foreman, joe Clemons, Julie Wicker, and Tom Campbell take time-out to rest. 17 Sadie Hawkins Dance JENNIFER STAWICKI SHOWS ACTING ABILITY by sharing an impressive imaginative experience of going to a wedding. Jennifer also won the academic award. 18 Junior Miss I I Yf E RE SO EXCITED ... About performing to perfection In convincing style, Michelle Swiecki earned the title of Cedar Lake ' s Junior Miss in November. In addition to her crown, Michelle also won the Physical Fitness, Creative Arts, and Mia Johnson Memorial awards. As winner, Michelle traveled to Frankfort, to compete in statewide competition. TERRI SHEEHY WORKS OUT in the choreographed routine that demonstrates physical fitness at the an- nual Jaycees-sponsored pageant. SHOWING HER ATHLETIC ABILITY in the talent competition of Junior Miss, Cindy Grah dances to Cyndi Lauper ' s Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Sponsored by the Cedar Lake Jaycees, the Junior Miss Pageant received out- standing attendance. Advance tickets sold out so quickly that the sponsors opened the dress rehearsal to the public for those unable to attend the pageant. Junior Miss has been a fantastic ex- perience, Michelle said, and I would urge any high school girl to go for it when they are seniors. You learn more about people you know and you get to meet new people. Jennifer Dickerson was named first runner-up and she also won the Poise and Appearance category. Second runner-up went to Dani Nolan, while third runner-up honors went to Krysta Lytle. Krystal also won the Performing Arts Award singing Invincible by Pat Benetar. According to one member of the audience, she even sounded like Benetar. Denise Bonnema, who attended Crown Point High School, won Spirit of Junior Miss, given to the girl with all-around qualities representative of Junior Miss ideals. Jennifer Stawicki received the award for Academic Achievement. The girls who were interested in par- ticipating in Junior Miss and their parents were invited to a tea that would explain more about it. Some of the activities that Mrs. Chris Mickey, pageant official, spon- sored before the actual contest included bowling, roller skating, a slumber party, and lessons in grooming and make-up. When the pageant began the girls were first introduced in evening gowns to display their poise and appearance in that category. Talent competition was next, followed by a choreographed routine to I ' m So Excited, performed by all the girls. The song title was also the theme for the 1986 pageant. Audience member Dan Barney said the pageant was one of the best ever. The talents this year in Junior Miss lived up to its reputation, as competition built from the hard work of the contestants. junior Miss PENNI CANNER ' S SPIRITED OUTFIT was a remnant of the Student Council volleyball game held just before the dance. THE CROWD WAS REASONABLY PATIENT as Deanne Mickey picks up her yearbook and Debbie Carnell awaits her turn. T wisted times A tradition returns once again Will you sign my yearbook next? echoed throughout the back gym at the yearbook dance October 30. The age-old high school tradition returned, but with a slight twist. We had the yearbook dance right after school tor the first time. This was mainly because of fall recess and the student volleyball game. It was well-attended but we will probably go back to an even- ing dance next year, stated Mr. Mike Frazier, yearbook advisor. About 120 students came to pick up their yearbooks and sat on the floor in the gym thinking of unique things to sign in their friends ' yearbooks. There really wasn ' t much dancing, but those that were there had fun as they listened to rock music blaring throughout the gym. The dance went as well as it could because of all the (athletic) practices, the stu- dent volleyball game and fall break. Next year it should be held at night so more people would be able to come, said sophomore Laura Ferry. The DJ for the afternoon was Vince Schuring. He played a varie- ty of music for the full two hours of the dance. Entertainment was not the only thing provided at the dance as refreshments were sold and students rummaged through pictures from previous school years. At a dime each, the memories were bargain-priced. 20 Yearbook Dance OLD PHOTOGRAPHS grabbed the atten- tion of Jennifer Stawicki and Jocelyn Sheehy, as well as everyone else. IN TWO OF THE FEW CHAIRS available, Tammy Thiel and Theresa Travis share the memories while signing yearbooks. DANCING WAS ALMOST NONEXISTENT because students, like Diane Guba, spent most of the time autographing yearbooks. 21 Yearbook Dance f ACULTY SOARS To tenth consecutive victory With poetic predictions about the team that would emerge victorious, each side in the annual senior-faculty basketball game read poems with the teachers making slams and the seniors restating confidence in themselves. The halls were scattered with posters advertising the game, weeks ahead of time. The whole school stirred with anticipation, wanting to know whether the 10-year record would be broken by the ' 86 seniors or not. Action-packed adventure could be found at the game, even though there was some doubt if there would be a game held at all. The senior team threatened to boycott the game. They didn ' t think players should have to buy a ticket to attend the game. It ' s stupid. We refused to buy tickets and we never did buy them. We still played anyway. Players shouldn ' t have to pay to get in. Teachers don ' t. National Honor Society should change their rules, senior Newel Anderson said about the policy for players buying tickets. Bodies packed into the main gym, waiting for the game to begin. Vendors from the National Honor Society, the sponsoring organization, strolled through tne bleachers and offered a selection of popcorn and candy. After a warm-up by both teams, the seniors waited in the locker rooms to make their grand entrance. With a senior monster mascot carrying a chain saw, an empty beer keg, and beer slogan T-shirts, seniors raced around the gym to loud cheers. The faculty made a calm entrance and jogged around the gym to hissing and booing, not being the favorite in this competition. Seniors had speed but lacked the years of experience and teamwork possessed by the faculty. The faculty pulled ahead immediately even though the seniors fought hard and came close at times. However, the seniors never caught up during the game and the faculty won by a hearty score, 71-51. It was another victory by the faculty as their record winning streak remained unbroken. A disappointed crowd was dismissed to go home and begin their spring vacation. And as usual, the junior class could be heard to say, Just wait ' til next year. COMING IN AS A SUBSTITUTE, Roger Stricklin makes one of his free throws in a losing cause as the faculty won, 71-51. THREE-YEAR STAFF MEMBER Royce McDougall shoots over Dave Corey, to lead the faculty in scoring for the game.

The faculty won their tenth con- secutive game. TO START OFF THE GAME, 20-year staff member Mr. James Nicholas jumps against senior Dan Cuevas. Mr Nicholas won the jump, but the seniors gained possession. 23 Senior Faculty Basketball LEGANCE AND FLAIR Helped create special memories for a lifetime It was that time again. Time to buy a new dress or rent a tuxedo. It was time for “Put- tin ' On the Ritz. Tails, tuxedos and formal dresses; nothing was too good for the peo- ple who attended the ' 86 prom. Real or silk flowers were purchased for dates f rom a busy florist. So many decisions . . . What color should I wear? How should I wear my hair? How can I get my boyfriend into a purple tux? How can I get my mom to let me stay out all night? Then, April 26 arrived. Dates showed up in time to exchange flowers and com- pliments. Fancy cars drove to Broadmoor Country Club where boys assisted the girls out of the cars (or vice versa) so their clothes wouldn ' t become soiled. After having their elegance recorded on camera, some refreshing punch was re- quired. A meal of breast of chicken over ham, dressing, green beans, salad, bread, baked potato, beets, cottage cheese, and ice cream was served to tne 88 couples that attended. In order to work off the meal, the couples danced to the music Happy Daze. A free cola bar was offered to cool off the thirsty dancers. Another solution to the heat created by the dancing was to venture up to the open deck to cool off or, perhaps, to steal a kiss. Dancing was interrupted by the an- nouncement of prom king and queen, Mark Perfetti ana Linda O ' Dea. People returned to dancing, drinking pop or just being with their dates until the time for the garter ceremony arrived. As it was an- nounced by Mr. Fetty, couples outlined the dance floor with the girl sitting and the guy kneeling. Take it off ' was announced and the guys had a souvenir of the ' 86 prom. As the music slowed and the dancers grew closer together, thoughts turned to post-prom activities. The final number was played and prom sponsors, Mr. Steve Lan- dis and Mrs. Sharon Cataldi, gave gentle BRINGING SOME DIFFERENT excitement to the night, junior Dan Beck entertains the students with his breakdancing ability. 24 Prom hints that the dance should be ending. With souvenirs of prom, glasses and key chains, each couple departed to begin a private celebration all their own.

In the following pages you will see that no two people are alike. It ' s the same in all schools and Hanover is no exception. Hanover is unique in itself. Each school has its own set of people and traditions. The way these people work as one is what makes the school special to students and faculty alike. Since Hanover is a relatively small school, an ndividual student knows most ot his classmates. The faculty recognizes each student as an individual, not just a number. When looking through the following pages don ' t just glance at the pictures, read the copy and find out why Hanover Central has the right combination of students and faculty.

EVERYONE BENEFITED FROM THE Schoolboard According to School Board president Judith Stoll, the board ' s greatest accomplishments were topped by the Jane Ball school expansion project. The addition of 10 classrooms . . . enabled the expansion of Prime Time which was making classes smaller in number of students. It centered all the students under one roof as suggested by the State Accreditation Committee. A weighted grading system was added at Hanover for those students who opted to make more difficult curriculum choices. A weighted class was one that was harder to receive good grades in and each letter grade was worth one higher than if it was an unweighted class. Also, for people who excelled in academics, there was a letter, like one received for sports, if the grade point average was 3.5 by the end of the fifth grading period. The school board worked to make high school life as equal for academic achievers as for athletic achievers. 28 Administration Faculty Mr. Jack Granger Spanish Mr. Louis Greer Art Mr. John Gorball Music Mrs. Joanne Gruber Nurse Mrs. Elaine Edwards Secretary Mrs. Margaret Hasse Attendance Officer Mrs. Marion Heldt Guidance Secretary Mr. Norm Holmes Industrial Arts Mrs. Ann Jarrett Business Mrs. Jean Kirk Home Economics MRS.

NORRIS MANAGED . To survive C I ' : v ■ - In 1953 at Lincoln School, Mr. Dick Norris taught a sixth grade class. It was his first class ever. He was drafted into the army for two years; after being discharged, he taught social studies and U.S. History which he always liked. “Becoming a gym teacher was always a dream of mine. I loved sports or just hanging around the gym, and I thought it would be great to earn a living doing those things, Mr. Norris said. He did a lot of coaching as well as teaching. He coached junior high and some freshman basketball. He felt that he had a successful time as a coach and his teams won quite a few games. Tennis was another of the sports he coached and he really enjoyed it because it got him playing tne game again. I want time for my hobbies like writing poetry and traveling, but it was only in the past year or so that I thought retirement was financially possible. My only retirement plans were to travel especially in the fall which is my favorite season,” commented Mr. Norris. His emotions and memories toward teaching, in general, were positive. I look back on it with a lot of pleasure. You figure all the students over the years . . . They ' ve been pretty friendly, especially after they got out of school, Mr. Norris said. It has been a real satisfaction to have worked all my teaching years in one community. Wherever I go, I see students or ex- students. Their friendliness is something that I really appreciate.

But not forgotten n anover students were no different from any others when it came to preparing for life after high school. One way of preparing was to get a job in places such as Dairy Queen, McDonalds, and Chicken City. These jobs were usually just summer jobs, but have made it a full time. Jobs like these help provide money for college and independent life. Being a senior was an exciting time because of the anticipation of the end of the year. The thought of not having to get up early is a pretty good reason in itself. At tne end of the year, when schedules are made out for next year, they remembered all the excitement they had making out their schedule for the last time. Besides all of this, many would remember the good times they had in extracur- ricular activities, such as drama, sports, and pom-pons. I ' m going to miss the school, Brian Baacke said. I ' ve made a lot of friends and I don ' t want to leave them because I won ' t ever see them all together again. I am especially going to miss playing the sports. Over half of these seniors, according to Guidance Counselor Mrs. Betty Wilkerson, plan to further their education in some way. College bound seniors were able to visit colleges of their choice. I have been working at Diary Queen for four years so I didn ' t have to worry about finding a job. I ' ve been planning to go to a business college for a couple of years, said Renee Wolff. Other seniors had their minds set on going into the military. I ' m going into the army; tne Ranger corps, said Carl Moore. I like wilderness and we will be trained in that kind of environment. After four years of the Rangers, I plan to’ reenlist for four years of college. As the clock ticked down to its final few seconds, it was all over.

Trendsetters T his class wasn ' t beginning high school, it didn ' t have a band or exchange student, and it wasn ' t ready to graduate. But the juniors came together to accept the challenge of becoming a team before they graduated. They hadn ' t won the Spirit Jug yet, and were not the most prosperous class ever, but the right combination of people was there to become a class of leaders instead of followers. “I ' m not one to follow trends which other people set so I try to do things dif- ferent, said Eddie Kubiak, of his “dif- ferent punk haircut. Hairstyles were wild and the clothes bright. They were the only class at the Spirit Games with a Hawaiian style. Focusing on that theme, the junior hall became a tropical jungle. Unfortunate- ly, it received last place in the decorating contest. Apparently, the budding talent was still a little raw. MR. ROBERT KROL and a few juniors stand watching in hope that the helium balloons they just launched, will carry messages from Hanover students across the country. The girls include Peggy Cor- bett, Theresa Griesmer, Diane Guba, Jackie Garritano, and Elise Keilman.

Some excelled in academics, others in sports, most in student life. All were rewarded in some way, shape, or form. As juniors, four received special recognition and a summer trip. Faculty members selected the small group as delegates to the annual Boys ' State and Girls ' State Conventions. Girls ' State delegates were Danielle Stevens and Gretchen Stoll while Boys ' State delegates included Dennis Cokenour and Stuart Harris. Alternate candidates included Kellie McElmurry and)ayme Bilbruck for Girls ' State and Ed Kubiak and Jeff Milanowski for Boys ' State. “I ' m excited about going to Boys ' State, Harris said. He said he feels that it will help him meet people and prepare him for college. Stuart ' s favorite classes included chemistry, accounting and band. But he noted, I prefer math and science over English. Danielle Stevens said, I feel very privileged to be chosen from my class as a Girls ' State Delegate. She feels that the trip to ISU (Indiana State University) will be a good experience both educationally and socially. In sports, she has lettered in volleyball and basketball. Her favorite class is Spanish 3 because she said she enjoys learning a second language and is looking forward to traveling to Mexico over Spring break. Gretchen Stoll has been an honor stu- dent for three years. She served as Science Club president for the last two years. She has been a member of the Cheerblock and Thespians for three years. Outside of school, she is a member of the Lincoln 4-H Club and the Holy Name Church youth group and youth choir. She also tutored math students and had a part-time job. Denny Cokenour has been a member of the marching band for four years, but has a three-year interest in basketball and volleyball. He has played on the golf team two years and has been a member of the Varsity Club and National Junior Honor Society for two years. At the State conventions, students form a mock state government, electing state leaders and passing legislation.

Celebrating life This was the ' year most teenagers looked forward to the most. Juniors were old enough to drive and date and do the things they couldn ' t when they were 15 without the responsibilities, seniors faced. When you are a junior, you have the opportunity to be in Honors U.S. History, Julie Zambo said. It is a class of prestige and enlightenment. You don ' t have to worry about grades because your tests aren ' t graded until after the six weeks ends. And . . . you stay up past your bedtime to do those wonderful 8-10 page reports that you don ' t start until the last minute. The only problem with being a junior is that I have to stay with my wonderful teachers all day long (unlike the seniors), Dan Becker added. As a junior, I can pick on the freshmen, whereas, before they could pick on me, Theresa Griesmer noted. No thoughts about college or graduation yet. There was just enough time to enjoy being a teen. I think the biggest thing people look forward to when as seniors is leaving a half of a day or for lunch, Ed Kubiak said. Juniors also never missed a party. Afterall, the Class of ' 87 was a celebrating type of class. And they were enthusiastic. One night after the Hebron loss, we basketball players had milk and cookies, Robert Faricelli said. Most of us ended up spending the night. The mood was no different in happy times. The best party was Wilken- ing ' s, the one after the Wildcats won the K.V. Sectional, Jeff Walls said. And special occasions called for special parties. The (best) party was extra special because it was this person ' s 1 8th birth- day, Patty Schuring said. There were lots of people. I sat around a bonfire most of the night. The worst thing that happened, she continued, was that a close friend of mine and I almost got into a fight over something stupid. Now the two of us don ' t talk. All I really want to say is ' Thanks John, for the wonderful time we shared together. Remember the saying: life goes on ' .

Among these were Millie Willy ' s nomination to the Homecoming court and her selection for the Outstanding Sophomore Award. This prestigious award called for outstanding achievement in grades, leadership, and activities. The Class of ' 88 exhibited their strength and ability during Spirit Week. They beat the seniors at Tug-O-War in the Spirit Games. Also during Spirit Week, the sophomores captured second place on their hall, with the theme Bomb the Bombers. In the dramatic field, Mr. Young ' s sophomore fourth and fifth hour English classes put on a musical. The script, music, lyrics, sets, costumes and publicity were all handled by the sophomores with Mr. Young as adviser. The performance was scheduled for the end of the school year, June 9. As an added bonus to the sophomore class, a personal band, Nuclear Waste, made music and wrote their own songs such as Potsey is a Nerd and AIDS. Members of this band included Shane Szutenbach, guitar; John Walker, drums; Steve Kil, keyboards; and technical manager Dan Barney. Nuclear Waste is still in its beginning stages, but we hope to someday become a successful group, Steve Kil commented about the effort. Multi-talented from the academic to the athletic; from music to the dramatic, members of the Class of ' 88 were learning to be experts in every field.

In America To come and stay in America for six months, it ' s okay, but to stay longer, I wouldn ' t like it as much because I miss my home, said Gus Queiroz, exchange student from Brazil. Gus seemed to be adjusting well to life in America. He saw and experienced many new things. For the first time, Christmas for Gus was white. What do I think about snow? he said. I think it ' s really cold, and I like it because sometimes it gets you out of school. However, America had disadvantages as well as advantages, Gus said. His life here was different because his host family made him play 20 questions every time he wanted to go somewhere. In Brazil my mom trusts me to make my own decisions and do what is right. I tell her I ' m going and she lets me, said Gus. His classes in Brazil were 10 minutes shorter, but there were eight of them each day. There were three breaks during the day and the classes a student took are determined by the school. It also seemed that bad cafeteria food as an international characteristic. According to him, our school ' s food was better. The high school graduation requirements in Brazil are only three years instead of the four required here. Gus graduates in November, 1987. Besides school differences, there were differences in sports as well. Football wasn ' t played in Brazil, and Gus found that soccer wasn ' t a favorite sport here. Maybe, Gus said, when I go home I ' ll start trying to make football popular. It ' s a pretty cool sport. Gus ' time in America showed him the difference between societies and the people who lived in them. It was a period of adjustment that left him with several lasting impressions. America is a nice place to visit with lots of nice people, but I think I would like to go back to Brazil where my friends and family live. I also think I will miss Hanover and the friends I have made here, Gus commented.

They were too cool to be seen with freshmen, but the juniors and seniors wouldn ' t have anything to do with them. They weren’t included in National junior Honor Society; they were considered too old. Sophomores weren ' t included in National Honor Society; they were considered too young. Sports teams might find them sitting on the bench because of their i nexperience while the juniors and seniors got the time on the court. In drama, sophomores were usually given the small parts; the juniors and seniors got the leads because they ' d been involved longer and had more experience. However, the sophomores were at least a step above the freshmen, who everyone picked on. The sophomore class might have bent under pressure but they didn ' t break. The pressures of high school life found them handling it well. There was nothing wrong with this class. They were just in the in- between stages of their development. They felt like a country dog in the city or a fish out of water: slightly out of place. They tried their best and their best would be good enough.

Sink or swim F reshmen were the youngest class on the totem pole. They received no respect as high schoolers as they thought they would. It was very different for them since, as eighth graders, they had been the class with the most seniority. As freshmen they had the least. They had to adjust to a slightly new scheduling of classes after three years of the same old thing. The lunch hour used to be after third hour for them, but now it had been delayed until after fourth hour in high school, so a few stomachs protested loudly about the absence of lunch. Instead of just having the guidance office pick the classes and the hours a stu- dent would have them, they had to make choices about goals and the classes that would be the most beneficial to achieving those goals. Decisions were also made about the type of diploma that was desired. Honors or regular? Regular classes or weighted classes? Do I want to take a certain class this year? These were some of the types of choices to be made. From no decisions to many, freshmen were tossed into the high school stream with a huge splash. It was definitely sink or swim.

It wasn ' t all it was cracked up to be. The summer in between junior high and high school was exciting, thinking about entering high school. Then, after entering high school, illusions shattered as upperclassmen dominated. Freshmen thought that high school would be fun and they would be respected because they were now in high school. Instead they were looked down on and criticized. To increase class funds and make points with other classes, the freshmen catered to their sweet tooth by selling Gummy Bears. As well as being tasty, the bears were profitable. The class cleared about $400. It seemed that classes with odd numbers like ' 87 and ' 89 were destined for a unique flair for in clothing and hairstyles. Missy Clark with her unusual clothes, I wear them because I like them and I look good in them, she said. Doug Willems with his Mohawk haircut set the stage for this potentially awesome but not yet developed class. I got the Mohawk because I felt like it, freshman wrestler Willems said. Their achievements were few but this class had style and flair in their academic, social, athletic, and personal lives. It was a class with unusual class.

THERE’S Not Pictured: Dwight Price Andy Przbyla More to live for Sports was one area of excellence possessed by the freshmen. The junior varsity baseball team was made up of freshmen except for one player. They won their first game, defeating Beecher, 2-1. Another sport dominated by the freshmen was girls junior varsity volleyball. They won the Porter County Conference Tournament due mainly to the skill and participation of freshmen. In other regions of extracurricular activities, drama being one, had many freshmen in their fall play and then the musical, Finian ' s Rainbow ' in the spring. Freshman Tom Campbell had a prominent role as Og the leprechaun. As Senator Rawkins, Brian Freeman had another important role. Doug Brown, Leigh Beck, Derek Viehman, and Cyndi Connor sang and danced their way into the musical. Speaking of musical talent, freshmen were involved in choir and swing choir, also. Derek Viehman auditioned and made swing chor. I think it ' s a good idea for freshmen to get involved with some activities to get to know people your first year in high school, he commented. They were a class with an uphill bat- tle to achieve the trust most classes took for granted, but most of the students seemed to be willing to take the climb, emerging stronger and more independent for the experience.

Why do we have to take all of these classes? They are not going to help us when we get out of high school. But the fact is, most courses DID help students prepare themselves for the problems of life. Balancing checkbooks, writing reports, and making a home were inevitable. For those who paid attention, life could be at least a little easier. For those who didn ' t, it could be tough. Clubs and other extracurricular activities were im- portant, too. Along with academics, students joined the few, but popular, clubs and organizations spon- sored by Hanover.

RICK ELAND PREPARES HIMSELF for an up- coming test in Mrs. Bonnie Beamer ' s fourth-hour Health class. Lots Physical education was a usual part of a freshman ' s day. Mr. Dick Norris, boys P.E. teacher, was concerned that everyone should feel a need for everyday exercise. He noted that running or swimming were part of a lifestyle that people should in- clude for their health. That philosophy led directly to his career. “Becoming a gym teacher was always an ambition of mine because I always liked gym, and playing basketball. My only gripe as a teacher is that people don ' t seem as hungry to play as they were. In boys P.E., students played volleyball, indoor football, and soccer; sports which usually weren ' t played indoors, but seemed to work very well inside. 54 Phys. Ed. Health OF BODY TALK And they couldn ' t play basketball all year long. Mr. Norris thought that boys liked competitive team sports, however, he felt that there was just not enough time to teach more than fundamentals. Girls ' gym classes were struc- tured similarly to the boys ' , but in- stead of football, they had a tumbl- ing unit and gymnastics, according to Miss Carol Grady, instructor. Sometimes the sports were coed. These sports included ten- nis, volleyball, and softball. Gym students had to take physical as well as written tests, so in that sense, there was more to gym classes than regular classes. P.E. was required for graduation, and there were no exceptions unless a student was physically unable to participate. Health classes were linked closely to P.E. As sophomore DURING SECOND HOUR GYM CLASS Mr. Norris jokingly discusses a grade with sophomore Chris Brown. Karen Bainbridge noted, Health makes me respect my body more. It helps me learn what I shouldn ' t do as far as abusing my body. Information about the effects of smoking, alcohol, drugs, nutrition, and junk foods were part of the curriculum. Sophomore Dan Barney said, Health makes me realize the problems I may face in the future, and shows me con- structive ways that I can deal with them. 55 Phi s. Ed.

WITH ONLY ONE CHANCE to drill in the correct spot, junior John Wilkes carefully positions a major section of his project. THE TASK OF SANDING is required for any woods project. Small projects required manual labor as Buddie Fitchie discovers. 56 Industrial Arts ParkProgresses Art — the creative world. A place where one can let their imagination and emotions go free. But the world of the “starving artist has grown larger by the minute according to Mrs. Sharon Cataldi, art teacher. An annual calendar sale was the fund raiser that was set up to help these future artists. The sale went bet- ter than ever as $250 was raised. The students were rewarded for their sales with a trip to Chicago. They also depended on the community for addi- tional support. Art is absolutely essential, Mr. Louis Greer said, In order to fully develop as human beings we have to look in our intuitive mind and art for- w ards this opportunity, keeping us to the sensible side of man. Dreams were in the Art Depart- ment ' s hopes with the fulfillment of this dream, the completion of a sculpture park. A raffle was established to help with this dream. Mr. Greer donated one of his own sculpture works, valued at $250, as a prize. The money earned from this raffle went to purchase heavy metal equipment for sculpture. There are many supporters of this, since the art gallery has done so well. Mr. Greer has helped the students make their dream come true. Since Mr. Greer came, he has changed the art department and made it much better. He aroused interest in sculpture. He has brought a lot of culture to Cedar Lake, said Cheryl Muehlman. SENIOR SEAN BARNEY grinds down a tow steamroller which he made in Mr. Holmes ' first-hour metals class. TAKING NO CHANCES, Jim Hoeckelberg uses caution around the radial arm saw since it can quickly devour a student ' s project. 57 Industrial Arts UVING LESSONS Aprons, measuring cups, pots and pans — these were some of the necessities of survival in the world. Boys were never found without food somewhere in their grasp. And girls could get hungry too. So, luckly there was a course where students could learn how to pro- vide for themselves. Foods class is a good experience for when we go out on our own, said Brian Asche. Independent Living classes of- fered a variety of information. Buy- ing houses and cars was covered, followed by how to purchase in- surance. Since money was a very important component, the class was taught to budget their money. There were two foods courses offered as well — Foods I and Foods II. Foods I students learned how to balance a diet and cook foods from the four basic food groups. In Foods II they were taugnt advanced food preparation of foods such as fried chicken, soups, and Chinese dishes. It ' s my favorite class because eating the food is enjoyable, said Doug Willems. The foods classes also had a visit from Farm Bureau of Indiana. They displayed the various sections of ASSISTING MRS.

Afterward, Farm Bureau donated the meat to the school for use in the home e c classes. 58 Home Economics pork as well as retail cuts. There was also a housing course where students learned how to construct, design and decorate homes. The class visited a mobile home dealer and a local furniture shop. The sewing portion of home economics was covered both in In- dependent Living and in sewing courses. Sewing teacher Mrs. Jean Kirk expresses her satisfaction, I am pleased the way interests are growing and more skills are being shown. Students are producing very good articles.” I really enjoy teaching home economics, because it has prac- tical information that you use every day, added Mrs. Ruth Eskilson.

The students ' brows were furrowed with frustration as they attempted to figure the answers on an extremely difficult test. Pencils flew furiously as inspira- tion struck. Eyebrows raised as students encountered insurmoun- table problems. Then, at last, the final paper was placed reluctantly on the teacher ' s desk. The teacher, Mrs. Mary Love, wanted her students to do the best WHAMMY! they could. “My ultimate goal is to receive maximum achievement from my students. Although her courses were some of the most dif- ficult, they helped to ready students for business courses. Mr. Terry Strawbridge said, “I think Introduction to Algebra has helped a lot of kids. There isn ' t sucn a big gap between High School Math ana regular Algebra. These classes also helped students who weren ' t certain they could handle regular Algebra to prepare for courses like Computers, Book- keeping, and Accounting. Students ' feelings on the subject of math differed. John Walter, sophomore, apparently had no difficulty with it. Math is one of the essential subjects facing our future. Junior Bryan Surprise had negative feelings as to the toughness of Geometry. It ' s a real pain in the neck, but as long as I pass who cares? DURING SECOND HOUR freshman Doug Brown checks with Mrs. Postma to make sure his Algebra equation is correct.

TYPING AN ASSIGNMENT in Mr. William Whitestine ' s computer literacy class, Scott Early found keyboarding to be a key lesson. 60 Business Math Math helped prepare students for Mrs. Ann Jarrett ' s Accounting class. Without basic skills there would be no sense in taking her class. Elise Keilman, junior, possessed all those skills and she stated, A business course is good for general knowledge, and you are ever in a business situation, you can apply that knowledge.” Business was complemented by Math. These subjects were inter- connected, relying on each other for understanding. Computers needed math and a computer could help solve a math problem. It was the right combination to have later in lire. DAN KOUDER STUDIES THE BOARD while being distracted by having his picture taken in Mrs. Postma ' s Algebra class.

Later, they marched in the American Legion parade in Indianapolis and the Popcorn Festival in Valparaiso. They also entered the Memorial Day parade in Cedar Lake. After the marching season, the Music Moves band prepared for Fall, Christmas and Spring concerts. Other concerts were performed at the Jane Ball School, at the Chili Supper, and at graduation. Stuart Harris placed first in the State and first in the District con- test. It was exciting to get a first in the state contest, said Stuart Har- ris. Penni Canner also placed first in District. Six members received second places. Playing at all the home games was the pep band. This was offered for those who wanted to play and achieve points toward their band letter.

We started On Command off slow and we improved as the year went on. She also noted that this was one of the best concert choirs she has had. In preparation for the many performances that were ahead, the swing choir members bought new outfits. To show off these new outfits they sang in three concerts, the Fall, Christmas and the Spring Spectacular, which was held on May 9 and 10. Other performances by the swing choir were at the United Methodist Church in Cedar Lake, the After Four Club and at Pheasant Valley Country Club. They also sang Christmas carols at Teible ' s in Schererville and in the hallways. A combination of the swing choir and concert choir, sang at the town Christmas tree lighting.

Are they tiny creatures that scurry from rock to rock? No, they are not. They are an international organization of kids working to make drama a popular after school activity and to improve the quality of the shows they put on. the kids ' views and the way they felt about it in general differed vastly. Patty Ernest, female lead in Murder by Natural Causes, enjoyed the experience greatly. Alison Sinclair was a fun role to have. The best part of doing the play was watching it all come together on stage. It was exciting to see what mistakes we made during a performance and how we got out of the situations that, for instance, skipping a section of lines, created. Actually, if someone saw both evening plays, they probably would have seen two very different shows, she said. It ' s really sad that people don ' t accept thespians for what they are.

Patty Kenning, student director of that production, agreed. Another lead in Finian ' s Rainbow, Dave Petros, commented, Playing Finian was a challenge as I had to learn to speak with an Irish accent and I enjoyed the chance to be made old before my time. I only wish I had started sooner so I could have played more roles. It also takes an even more special person to make it through all the minor roles and dirty work to the top roles and thespian membership. I think they are a group of honest, hardworking people, commented Dan Barney, future thespian.

Mr. Cary Young had some classes put on plays that were written, choreographed and performed on stage by his students. “I am excited about the original productions in my classes because the students use every skill that we studied in English. It gives the students a reason to learn the information I teach, the veteran teacher noted. DURING MR. MIKE FRAZIER ' S fourth-hour English class.

Mr. Mike Frazier ' s English II classes were also doing original productions, but instead of performing on stage, they videotaped the shows. One of the main reasons that I have my English students produce this videotape project is to give them a chance to bring literary ideas to light, stated Mr. Frazier. Spanish was also offered to enhance job opportunities and communication with America ' s expanding Hispanic population. Knowledge of a second language is not only important from a philosophical point of view, because one gains knowledge of people thorough their language, but also from a practical point of view. It is valuable in the world of business, international trade, and travel, said Mr. Jack Granger, Spanish teacher. Most students found Spanish fun and interesting. As Mark Gruenhagen stated, It is the most significant experience of my life. Junior Leslie Scnluttenhofer agreed, I find Spanish to be very exciting and also useful. 70 English Foreign Language JUNIORS JOHN WILLIEMS, Elise Keilman, and Diane Guba rehearse a scene in the main office from their video project, Cor- porate Murder.

The number of students in World History dropped, not K because students have lost in- terest, but because of the re- quirements of other history classes. For the first time the Student Council had two blood drives, on November 23 and April 24. On April 18 they received an award for their community support. Other acts of charity included “Pennies for People, Disaster day and, at Christmas time, Toys for Tots. For Valentine ' s Day they sold singing Valentines and carnations raising a total of $100 and they sold jewelry which brought in $250.

The boys varsity basketball team made history with its first-ever sectional championship. They defeated Hebron by a score of 77-57 in the finals. In wrestling, sectional champ Skip Harmon earned his title by defeating Jim Bittner in the finals. Skip advanced to the second round of semistate competition before his season ended with a 28-5 record. Junior Ted Jenkins set two new records in track. In pole vault he jumped 12 ' 6 , beating the old record by 2 Vi . In the 200-dash he set another record beating the old record by .3 seconds. There were many more personal bests and records broken and it only proved that the athletes and coaches had the right combination.

They were wrong. three improved runners re- turned in sophomores Sam Goff, Jeff Sawaska, and senior Skip Har- mon. Goff and another sopho- more, Scott Campbell, were im- ortant runners. Even though we ad a rather young team this year, I felt we were very successful because of coaching and senior leadership, Campbell said. Coach Terry Strawbridge noted, The highlight was the sectionals at Crown Point. It has been the best (sectional) for several years. We came in seventh out of 10.

Since misery loves company, the girls quickly became better ac- quainted with one another. Veteran players shared ex- periences of past seasons, boosting confidence and helping new players improve their skills. Each and every player was im- portant to the team in one way or another. From a statistical stand- point, Dani Nolan was the top server, while Ginny Foreman and Danielle Stevens were closely mat- ched for setting. As for spiking, Carolyn and Mandy Xanders took top nonors. Lisa Foreman and Mandy Xanders, best receivers, knew what to do defensively. Other Porter County Con- ference coaches noticed, too, as Carolyn Xanders and Ginny Foreman were both selected to the All-PCC team after the season. For the most part they did bet- ter than anticipated prior to the beginning of the season, said Coach Carol Grady. The main dif- ference was that at the beginning of the season they didn ' t play as much as a team as in the end of the season.

Girls junior varsity volleyball players had a better season than anyone expected and Coach Ann Thompson was one of the most pleasantly surprised people. The team was short on height, but not on skill. Their lack of height didn ' t stop them from having a .500 season ana a perfect PCC record. “I was very pleased with the J.V. girls team ' Coach Thompson said. We were first in the Porter County Conference, and we went 12-12 as compared to an 18-2 season last year. I have to point out that the team was very inexperienced. Most of my players from the previous year are varsity players now. Next year, I hope our record will be back up at 18-2, since the team will have had playing time together. The Boys Junior Varsity Volleyball team didn ' t have as good a season as the girls, but first-year Coach Scott Anderson thought that the team showed more desire than in the past, and that they weren ' t afraid to develop a new attitude toward winning. The result was a 9-7 season, including the games in the PCC tourney. Fan support, however, was lacking according to Coach Anderson. I was disappointed that Hebron had more fans than we did at the PCC Tourney (hosted by Hanover), he said. Junior Denny Cokenour agreed with his coach, The season wasn ' t the best and I wish more fans would have come to see us play, but whether we won or not, we worked hard. t JV BOYS VOLLEYBALL (Front): Ted Jenkins, Bob Briggs, Rick Sikma, and Denny Cokenour.

It almost happened. Falling short by just a few matches, the boys varsity volleyball team still placed fifth in the state tournament October 1 9 at Westville High School. A tradition in boys volleyball renewed itself as the team snapped its 21 -match los ing streak and found itself placing fifth in the state tournament. First-year coach Scott Anderson watched his team play their best volleyball ever. Each and every one of them put their total heart and soul into it, Coach Anderson said. At the end of the day we were both physically and emotionally drained. We had ac- complished something no other team had done. For a brief moment we were the best in the state. We beat the team that won state (Muncie Burris) in one game, 15-3, but unfortunately, lost the second game. The coach also added, We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough. Top hitter for the season was junior Ted Jenkins, and the best offensive player was senior Dave Uran. Tim Freeman was the best defensive player on the team. John Foreman won the MVP award, while the Pride and Hus- tle award went to senior Tom Schreibe r. Junior Denny Cokenour rounded-out the group, claiming the Best Setter trophy.

It ' s tough enough to win with experience, but the girls varsity basketball team managed a winning season with a minimum of it. Leading the team to an 11 -9 record and to the PCC tourney finals against Kouts, junior Ginny Foreman was the squad ' s only returning letterman.

Although we were a young team we really tried our hardest to do our best, said freshman Shan- non Parmon. The PCC tourney was great . . . the biggest game I have ever played in, stated Dana Vanco, freshman. Paving the way for the team was sophomore Carolyn Xanders, who showed height was everything as she averaged 9.9 rebounds per game. Gin- ny Foreman led scoring with a 1 2.9 per game average. Danielle Stevens, junior, expressed satisfaction saying, I was proud to be on the team because we did better than anyone expected. 86 Girls Varsity Basketball Basketball GIRLS VARSITY: SEASON RECORD: 11-9 PCC ROUND-ROBIN RECORD: 5-3 OPPONENT Griffith North Newton Munster LaCrosse Kouts River Forest Lake Station Morgan Twp.

She said that practices could have been taken more seriously, but attitudes toward the games were good. Coach Grady noted, The highlight (of the season) was the Kouts game because we beat them soundly (31-21). Kouts had killed the junior varsity girls last year by a score of 27-13. Returning sophomore Heather Beck established herself as the most valuable player. Heather was the key, the coach said. If Heather played well, the team played well. Janice Xanaders led the team in the scoring department with 3.8 points per game. Kelly Kopack pounded the boards, leading the team in rebounds. Janice Xanders really improved, Coach Grady added. The best game of the year was played against Lowell because their potential peaked at that point accord- ing to Coach Grady.

Winning was on the minds of cheerleaders and fans alike, following the boys varsity basketball team ' s 20-6 season. It was great that our team won sectionals I knew they could do it, said varsity cheerleader Dani Nolan. The spirit squads did more than cheer. They continued tradition by decorating team members ' lockers, made banners and added something new to the list by cooking the team a spaghetti dinner. Cheering at sectionals was just awesome, said varsity cheerleader Tammy Wittenhagen. Everyone was working together to make our (sec- tional) cheerblock better than any other. To earn money for their emblems the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders ran a cheerleading clinic to help future cheerleaders develop the basic fundamentals.

At Lowell, they beat the Red Devils, but lost against Hebron. At Griffth they beat the Panthers only to lose the next game to Highland.

My first impression was that the team needed a lot of work. I was pleased with the progress the team has made this year. The player most wiling to win and the most improved was junior Dan Matuska, according to Coach Kvachkoff. As juniors Denny Cokenour and Rob Farcelli provided team leadership, more than basketball was learned. They found self-respect. Once this was achieved, practice was the only thing left to make this a win- ning team, the coach said. Sophomore John Walker noted, To play basketball you need to be dedicated, knowing you have to prac- tice every day during the season. I think our team has come a long way. We enjoyed ourselves and we have had a lot of fun, although there is a lot of room for improvement. By season ' s end their attitudes were very good, even if their 7-15 record didn ' t match the intensity. That quality finally surfaced in the best game they played, against Boone Grove, according to Coach Kvachkoff. He said he thought they wouldn ' t do very well, but they lost only by one point. Progress, discipline, and a good bunch of people striving for one goal is what my team was made of, the rookie coach concluded.

Coach Terry Strawbridge ' s squad rolled to 20 wins for the season, while the ' Cats were caged just six times. The team also went undefeated in all eight games in the Wildcat Den and earned a record nine straight wins. But the real excitement boiled once second season began: Sectionals! According to Coach Strawbridge, the team showed great effort in tne second half of their opener against STARTING AT GUARD in the regional game, senior Tom Schreiber tries to break free from defender Charles Beaver. AFTER COMING HOME from winning sec- tionals, each member of the team got a chance to express their feelings about the game. MR. DON METZGER, principal of Kankakee Valley, hands Mike Holobawski the game ball after the team beat Hebron for the sec- tional crown. Rensselaer, blowing out the Bombers, 81 -55. The home court advantage and deafening crowd of Kankakee Valley made the ' Cats nervous in game two, but Hanover fans generated enough enthusiasm to keep the team charging to an electrifying 66-65 win. The third time proved to be the charm as Hanover faced the Hebron Hawks for the championship. The Hawks had handed Hanover two of its six losses, once in regular season, 68-67, and in the PCC Tourney championship game, 76-69. This time, however, it wasn ' t even close. A 19-4 first quarter gave the Wildcats all the cushion they needed as they dominated the entire ame. The 77-57 final score was no uke. The ' Cats were simply that good. Police and fire fighters escorted the squad around Cedar Lake and its supercharged fans. After brief remarks at the victory celebration in the Wildcat Den, Mr. Fetty uttered the words students waited 20 years to hear, No school on Monday! The week-end celebration which followed ended with bus loads of students and parents who rumbled into Lafayette to face the ninth- ranked Jefferson Bronchos.

I hope we can continue the tradition next year. 96b Boy s Varsity Basketball HISTORY HITS HOME (Continued from page 96) didn ' t look back as they recorded their 23rd straight regional win. The ' Cats were outgunned 89-56, but never embarrassed the fans. Coach Strawbridge said he felt that the regional game was a good experience for the players, even if it wasn ' t one of their best games. The boys just went there to have fun. After all, they were playing a ranked team in home territory, and had a high percentage of fans to cheer them on. Honors didn ' t end with the final game. Coach Strawbridge was named Coach of the Year by the Hammond Times and the Valparaiso Vidette Messenger newspapers. Mr. Strawbridge said it was not just the result of his coaching abilities, but also because of the players ' . This was a real memorable season and a great experience, he said. As with any team, victory was on the minds of all who watched and played, but this season was special. Coach Strawbridge set four goals for the team. The two that were achieved included winning the Holiday Tournament at Lake Station and winning the Sectional title. Even though the players did not succeed in capturing the PCC Tournament and the Conference, they were runners-up in both. According to Coach Strawbridge, every season has some failure, but tne team worked very hard for their successes. The three things our team was built on were hard working players, a hard working coaching staff, the desire to learn and listen, the coach said. He added that the players really were not very different from others DURING HOMECOMING, starting center Todd Wilkening scored seven points and tore down 12 rebounds to help the Wildcats win, 85-62. AFTER WINNING SECTIONALS cheerleaders and fans rush onto the court and nearly smother the team in excitement. in the previous year, but they had more success and were more confident. During the season the players grew into their roles were and made improvements to fulfill them. Coach Strawbridge noted their best games of the season included tne Sectional Cham- pionship, the Holiday Tourney games against Wheeler and Lake Station, and the sectional game against Kankakee Valley. Retirement of the Conference Keg for the year was icing on the cake. We knew in preseason that we could have a good team, Junior Mike Holobawski said. We started out kind of slow, but by midseason we turned it around. It was a weird feeling knowing that we were blowing out teams at halftime. It helped us relax and play better. The sectional win was frozen in time. It ' s the greatest feeling of my life, Holobawski continued, I knew we were going to win when I heard the fans start chanting ' Lafayette! Lafayette! ' I ' ll never forget the celebration — the fire trucks — the police escort — the fans. We would go into stores and people would congratulate us. Even after the regional loss, people still congratulated us on having such a good season. Senior Dave Uran said of win- ning the sectionals, That ' s what the whole season was about. We knew we had to play harder (than previous years) so good things would happen. Uran took the ad- vice liteally, taking the most charges of any Wildcat player dur- ing tne season. They (Jeff) played their best game against our worst game, Uran added. Winning sectionals was our main goal. We didn ' t take the same attitude against Lafayette as we did against Hebron. Tom Schreiber said he was grateful for the community sup- port. They really came througn. You like to feel that you ' re doing something good enough that peo- ple will come out to watch. As for nis own efforts Tom said, It didn ' t matter if I started or not, I just wanted to help the team out. A Columbia blue and Cardinal Red banner honoring the cham- pions will greet fans next winter when they return to the Wilcat Den. It will serve to remind players and fans alike of a moment that can never be repeated. After all, the first time truly is the best time.

With a corps of 29, they started off with $200 and raised a total of $4,356.01 from the nine fund raisers held. The money raised bought four new uniforms and also bought them a new amplifier. To start off the season, they marched in four parades, held in Cedar Lake, Crown Point, Val- paraiso and Indianapolis. They received a trophy from the Cedar Lake parade for their performance. They also entertained at eight boys varsity basketball games, pep ses- sions, Previews, the Senior-Faculty game, and the Jane Ball Talent Show. A performance was also given at the PCC Tournament.

Pomcats THEY WERE NOT HALF BAD With just eight of 13 weight classes filled, the wrestlers had to excel as individuals Y ou can have pride in wrestl- ing. I do have pride in it ,” senior Carl Moore said. “It takes a lot to be a wrestler and very few have what it takes. If you win, you win alone. If you lose, you lose alone. Whatever happens is your fault, you can ' t blame anyone else. A spectacular season was turned in by senior Skip Harmon. His season extended into the second round of semistate after he won sectionals and placed third in regionals. He was also the 155-lb. champion of the Merrillville and Lake Central tournaments. He achieved a total of 28 wins, which has never been done in the school ' s history. And the team was tough enough to take fourth, fifth and six in the three tournaments they went to. The highlight of my season was when I beat Jack Bailey in the Knox and I didn ' t, said freshman Doug Willems. Records were broken throughout the year. The team hammered out the most pins in a season and the most number in- dividual pins this year. I am extremely pleased with the dedication ana work ethics of these fine young men, Coach Greg Whitacre summed up. VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM includes (Front): Scott Campbell, Mark Willy, Doug Willems, Johnny Willems, and Bob Tully. (Back): Asst.

Dan went to pin his man. 101 Wrestling IN SEARCH OF A WILL TO WIN N any have the will to win, but few have the will to prepare to win, said Girls Varsity Track Coach Carol Grady. According to the coach, there were two things that she would have changed about the season: the weather and the attitudes. There were few meets with good weather. Coach Grady noted. She add- ed that attitudes toward practice were not good and that in order to perform well, practice was needed. The best meet of the season was the Kout Wheeler double-dual. The weather was great and team members ran their best times of the year. Also a lot of personal goals were met there. The goals that Coach Grady set were to finish 6-2 in the conference and to have more people qualify for sec- tionals. Another was placing third in the Hobart Relays. The team met all these goals. GIRLS VARSITY TRACK team includes (Front): Theresa Whitkanack, Millie Willy, Heather Beck, Julie Wicker, and Liz McElmurry. (Middle): Deann Hahn, Kelly Kopack, Carolyn Xanders, Missy Holeman, Dana Vanco, and Carolyn Huseman. (Back): Leigh Beck, Manager Jackie Garritano, Karla Troy, Coach Carol Grady, Michelle Croak, and Janice Xanders. A RUNNING IN THE SPRINT MEDLEY sophomore Heather Beck, who runs third, hands the baton to freshman Janice Xanders, the anchor. PLACING FIRST in the shot put against Hebron and Washington Twp., fresnman Kelly Kopack also placed third in discus. 102 Bad weather and practices didn ' t prevent reaching goals During the regular season school records were broken by Carla Troy in the 300-meter hurdles and by Missy Holeman in the 1 600-meter run. Best all-around athlete was Carolyn Xanders, Coach Grady said. Xanders could score points for the team in any event that sne entered. Senior Carla Troy emerged as the natural leader of the team. She wanted it to be a good year not only for herself, but for the Jfr-- Girls Track other members of the team. The squad had five returning letter winners and added six more by season ' s end. Sectional qualifiers were Carolyn and janice Xanders in the high jump, Julie Wicker in the 100-meter hurdles and Theresa Whitkanack in the 200- meter dash. Carolyn tied for fifth in the high jump and was the only Lady Wildcat who placed.

RUNNING SECOND in the 800-meter medley, freshman Dana Vanco helped the team place second in the event at the Hanover Relays. 103 Girls Track FIRST RUNNER in the 400-meter relay team, junior Bob Briggs also qualified for sectionals in high jump. BEATING his Boone Grove opponent across the finish line, this was Sean Barney ' s DURING HANOVER RELAYS, Mark Mayer who qualified for sectionals in the 1600- meter run, is fourth runner in the 3200- meter relay. A TIRED TEAM BEATS THE ODDS Casualties were unprecedented but so were the individual efforts Boys varsity track season was remarkable. Only 12 guys started the season and five were soon gone. After we lost so many people to in- juries, especially after Hanover Relays, nearly ever yone had to run in three or four events, said Coach Mike Frazier, That puts a lot of wear and tear on a track athlete and that caught up to us by the time PCC and sectionals rolled around. Barney ' s collapsed lung and Foreman ' s bad hip took it ' s toll on the 104 team. Eric Goff was out twice, for mono and for intestinal surgery. The team still finished with a 6-2 PCC record and was 6-6 for all dual meets. An important factor was the ad- dition of Assistant Coach Brian Mag- nant, who helped with field events and weight training. Qualifying eight people for sectional was gratifying. The season ended with just seven athletes, so you can ' t ask for better percentages, said Coach Frazier. Qualifiers included Sean Barney and Bob Briggs in high jump, Tom Wilken- ing in discus, Sam Goff in the 3200, Mar k Maver in the 1600, and Ted Jenkins in pole vault and 200. The 400-M relay team of Briggs, Jenkins, Doug Patchin, and Dan Becker also qualified. When Becker smashed a toe in the PCC meet, Sam Coff was added.

HANDING THE BATON to his brother, freshman Eric Goff and sophomore Sam Goff are third and fourth runners in the 3200-meter relay. when Jenkins injured his leg at sec- tionals, Mayer substituted. Naturally Ted ' s pole vault record (12 ' 8V4 ), which also broke a 12-year conference record was a high point, but just as important were the three other schools records. Those included Jenkins ' 200-M dash in :23 .7, Sam Goff ' s 3200-m record of 10:27.7 and Mayer ' s 1600-M record of 4:46, Coach Frazier noted. TRACK .

Team members carefully examined the course for rough spots that the ground crew had missed. Eyes traveled from the sand trap to the forest to the water pit, hop- ing that the shot would be long and true, and not lost to any of these hazards. It didn ' t happen often enough. I had high hopes at the beginning of the season, Coach John Brindley said, however, the kids didn ' t play as well as I though they would. The varsity season ended 6-14 and the JV squad lost all their matches. However, there was a bright spot on the golf horizon. There were six golf letter winners including Newel Ander- son, Denny Cokenour, Brian Terry, Jason Anderson, Jason Kellerman, and Cinny Foreman. This was the first year that a girl lettered in a boys ' sport. The girl who achieved this honor felt proud about it, and Coach Brindley had high hopes for next year ' s season.

We were pretty competitive, said Varsity Baseball Coach Arden Smith. The team won as many games this year as they did in the last four years combinea. At 7-15-1, this was the best finish since 1980. Best all-around athletes were seniors Gary Garcia and Dave Uran. BUNTING THE BALL, sophomore center- fielder )ohn Walker safely reaches first base despite the loss to Wheeler. SENIOR GARY GARCIA set a record for the most put-outs and was also named to the PCC All-Star team. ROOKIE PITCHER MATT WOLFF, picks up a win and had 16 strikeouts for the varsity squad in his freshman year. According to Coach Smith they had good knowledge of rules, techni- ques, and were good leaders. Team members set five new records and tied two. Chip Stenger broke the record for the most at-bats (73). Gary Garcia broke the record for most doubles (8) and most put- outs (167). Mike Brady broke the record for most stolen bases (22). Dave Uran and Gary Garcia tied the record for most nits during the season (25). Uran also tied the record for most triples and most RBI ' s.

If a yearbook staff doesn ' t raise enough money through ad and book sales, then they can ' t provide a yearbook. The staff must determine the best way P ossible to spend the money so you can receive the ighest quality yearbook. The staff cannot earn enough money through book sales alone. It is important to support the advertisers in this section because they helped make this yearbook possible. Through the right combination of hard work and effort staff members raised a record amount of money.

SALUTATORIAN OF THE Class of ' 86, Patricia Ernest addresses the seniors and the people in attendance with a speech. WAITING PATIENTLY, Robin Richardson sits anxiously for the last time before a reunion on that cool summer day with her class. FINALLY THE TIME to receive her diploma, Brenda Bernhard starts her ascent to receive her diploma from Mr. Fetty . 132 Graduation Tassels, gowns, parties and a well- earned diploma. Graduation. Parents felt a little sad because their babies had grown up. But most seniors weren ' t sad at all. Most of them were just happy that they had finally made it through. It ' s cool, being out of school. I ' ve waited for this all my life. But now I have to get a job, said senior Kevin Crowley. The ceremony was held on June 1 in the Main Gym. Speeches were made by the Principal, Mr. Joseph Fetty, Assistant Principal, Mr. David Lemon, Father Bill from Holy Name parish, the valedictorian, Karen Bilbruck and salutatorian, Patty Ernest. Now the moment had arrived, the Grown Up moment to receive a long awaited accomplishment, a dipl oma. After the ceremony was complete, the seniors let mom and daa give them a big embarrassing hug, and endured some drippy sentimental congratulations from relatives. Then they took off for a nice independent evening of partying with friends. In fact, some seniors didn ' t stay at their own open houses any longer than anyone else ' s. Graduation was a night of celebration and party-hopping. The parties are great, but it ' s also sad because it ' s the last time all my friends and I will be together in just the same way. No matter how many reunions there are, somebody won ' t be able to be there. But it ' s also ex- citing because it ' s a new beginning. I really hope we ' re all successful and are the generation to change the world, Jocelyn Sheehv said. College or career or both, business school, the military or an appren- ticeship ... No matter what the decision was, it would have to be right for the individual, regardless of the paths that a person ' s friends were taking. Graduation was a time of sadness at the ending of something and a time of joy at the start of something new. I ' m scared, now that I ' m out of high school. I ' ve waited for this for so long, but now that I ' m here, it ' s scary. It ' s like I have to begin all over again, said graduating senior Vykke Young. It was a time for celebrating and a time for making serious choices. It was the end of high school but the beginning of life in the real world. UPON THE CONCLUSION of commence- ment, all the guys throw their hats after listening to Mr. Fetty ' s closing remarks. m ■ I � ' I 233 Graduation SENIOR JO HN FOREMAN shows off his homemade, one-of-a kind Libya Buster shirt the day after the United States bombed Libya.

A Perfect Day June 10 according to most students is probably the best day of the school year. This long awaited day spelled freedom to most students. No longer would we have to sit quietly waiting for the morning announcements to start and near that pizza is being served on Thursday. Every student knows that by now. Geometry students wouldn ' t have to cram three six weeks of work into three hours of studying to pass one of Mrs. Love ' s dreaded semester exams. The Key yearbook staff could close up shop until next year. And they could say it was a job well done. At 10 a.m. the doors flew open and nine months of school were gone. Teachers smiled and some waved ' bye. Friends said their good-byes and were ready to get this summer off to a good start. This was surely a perfect aay. 135 Closing SENIOR DAVE URAN gestures with open hand to ask Tre Walkowiak for the salt as their Independent Living class ends the day. An Open End At 10 a.m. the doors slammed shut until September. Another school year gone but not forgotten. Students will remember the good times they had in the now empty halls. Excellence and the will to be on top academically and athletically dominated everyone at Hanover. For the first time academic letters were given to students with a 3.5 grade average. Athletically, the boys varsity track team beat the odds by qualifying eight guys for sectionals in spite of the fact that only seven survived. This open end isn ' t unique or unusual to a school year but these pages in the years to come will help unlock the memories of the Right Combination. DURING THE SPRING blood drive, senior Roger Pflaum opens his arm to give a pint of blood to help the Student Council ' s cause.
