The following pages reflect the changes, great and small, which continue to make our school unique. While the challenges were unlimited, the achievements were precious. Like all keepsakes, The KEY commemorates our days as Limited Editions. When students and faculty returned in September, they were greeted with some noticable changes. The 19-year- old scoreboards in the gym had been replaced with a set of $5,000 elec- tronic boards suitable for scoring all in- door sporting events. If students received a cool reception in the East wing, it was only because nine air conditioners were added at a cost of $45,000. Unfortunately, grillwork required to operate the units did not arrive until October making comfort a limited condition. Without any limitations the girls var- sity volleyball team defeated 20th- ranked Crown Point, 15-8, 2-15, 15- 13, to capture Hanover’s first-ever sec- tional volleyball championship.

Striking a blow for faculty rights ended the ’68-’69 year, as the school board would not negotiate a teachers contract. The backwash flowed into the next year, delaying the start of school, since the teachers were still on strike. However, two weeks later, the strike ended.

A year of firsts was 77-78; the PCC traveling trophy was captured by the boys varsity basketball team. In 1984-85 the girl ' s basketball team won the PCC Tourney championship and the students had a day off school. The school year of ’85-’86 the boys varsity basketball team won sectionals and Mr. Richard Norris retired after 33 years of teaching.

Limited funds And creative budgets D ating then and now; somehow the dollar doesn’t stretch like it used to. With the following guidelines, students on limited budgets still enjoyed a pleasant evening. Consume a big meal before eating out. Rent a video instead of going to the movies; at home the popcorn was free. Walking to a restaurant was cheaper, and healthier unless you caught pneumonia from an unexpected cloudburst. Doubling with parents also insured a free evening. Collect a “sibling maintenence fee” from little brothers and sisters. Ask the parents for a loan at less than 5 per cent interest, compounded annually. HINT: DO NOT use your stereo as collateral. A teen adhering to these rules found dating both possible and economical. “BURIED in the books Gary Dema is caught personalizing a 1986 KEY at the yearbook dance in October MEMORIES WERE DELIVERED IN GLOSSY HARDBACK FORM And students discovered limited editions ALTHOUGH DANCING snt the reason tor the yearbook dance. Stuart Harris and Bob Stockton got into the groove Y earbooks flew fast and furious around the back gym until at times one couldn’t be certain whose yearbook they were signing. There were many traditional sayings inscribed into almost every yearbook, especially when you couldn ' t think of anything else to say. Turning the pages slowly, students smiled while reac- quainting themselves with their memories. On October 17, the 1986 KEY featuring The Right Combination was distributed, delivering the promised memories. With approximately 175 students present, Mr. Mike Frazier, yearbook adviser, considered it to be the best attended yearbook dance in five or six years. “This year’s dance was better than last year’s because more people were there, commented Martha Willy, junior. Dan and Steve Winn, juniors, played the tunes that set the tone for the evening. Although most people didn ' t choose to dance, the music created a more comfortable atmosphere,” noted junior LisaBonnema. The music played and peo- ple wandered in and out while snacking on refresh- ments and looking at the ex- tra pictures which were for sale at the dance. When the music finaSy wound down, the crowd thinned out and the memories were transported home in hard back form. It was one of the funnest things I did all year. — John Walker WITH A STYLE all their own, juniors John Walker and Chip Stenger help boost the Class of ' 88 to second place TRYING TO intimidate the sophomore crowd, senior Jeff Milanowski ' s team falls to the sophomore team in the first game.

The sophomores started by defeating the seniors, then went on to beat the juniors in the championship game I t was a natural for the underclassmen to think the All-School Volleyball Tournament was definitely a worthwhile experience as both the freshmen and sophomores went on to upset the older classes. “The All-School Volleyball Game was a good experience for us to have. I’m really glad I was on the team and I think it would be a bad idea if they discontinued this tradition. Everyone needs the o p- portunity to break away from classes and have a good time,” said sophomore Mira Projovic. In the first match, the juniors pulled it off against their opponents the seniors, who must have been stricken with senioritis. Next the freshmen and the sophomores battled it out; the upper class found them to be a relatively easy victory. In the losing team play-off, the freshmen snatched third place from the grasp of the seniors. With the sophomores and the juniors splitting two games, a tie-breaker had to be played. It was vicious but the sophomores eventually pulled ahead, the juniors falling slightly short of the necessary points. FORMING the junior pyramid are Millie Willy, Lisa Foreman, Karen Bain- bridge, Julie Weightman, John Walker, and Chip Stenger.

As music started, the Science Clu b Sock Hop was underway. Not only was the Sock Hop held by the Science Club for the purpose of raising money, but also to bring about a deviation from the norm for the students. Although they only made a $17 dollar profit on the event, senior member Ken Owens felt it was a success. “Making a lot of money didn ' t really matter. Everyone had a great time and that ' s what dances are all about,’’ he said. The D. J. for the evening was Bob Webber. He played a variety of music and that, according to junior Dan Beck, was a welcome change. The music helped the dance ' s success,” he said. The D.J. played music from Chubby Checker and the 50s to Bon Jovi and the 80s.” Whether the music was a slow ballad from 1986 or a fast twist from 1956, everyone kicked off their shoes, and had a good time. The Sock Hop was a relic of the past, resurrected for one night, then put back into mothballs along with poodle skirts and bobby socks.

The Banana-Eating Con- test, messy but entertaining, also was won by sophomores, Kelly Kopack and Laura Moll. Seniors Jeff Ashcraft, Danielle Stevens, Kellie McElmurry, Ed Kubiak, Dan Beck, Karl Wilhelm, Charlie Heflin, and Gretchen Stoll wiped-out the competition in the Toilet Paper Wrap. Web-footed sophomores Liz McElmurry, Jim Ahrendt, Carolyn Huseman, and Matt Wolfe waddled to first place in the Flipper Race, while a large group of seniors burst through to grab the Balloon Pop Relay. Freshmen Sonia Clark and Patricia Ahrendt didn’t let seniors monopolize all balloon events. They were surprise winners in the Balloon Toss. It was a good way to have fun at school, as well as a way to raise funds for Stu- dent Council,” junior Dan Barney said. “Being a slave was okay too, even though I wasn’t in the gym when I got auctioned off. When they told me I’d been sold, I was sur- prised, but I got to do crazy things that I never could have done otherwise.” 15 SPIRIT THE AGE-OLD RIVALRY BEGAN A LITTLE LATER THAN USUAL Spirit Jug race sparks intense February ’Feud’ W ith February 2 came Spirit Week and the race for the Spirit Jug. The age-old rivalry, previously held in December, began as freshmen through seniors competed in the hall decorating contest. The freshman hall took a circus theme, while the sophomores challenged with “Family Feud. The juniors decided to make their hall a con- struction site, but none of these was better than the seniors ' “Road to Victory” design, which took first place. WITH STRENGTH in numbers, juniors lead by Loretta Kujawa and Lisa Foreman, out-pull the freshmen.

On Monday, athletes entered the halls when juniors Dan and Heather Beck won the award for the day. Tuesday was a day for “lounging around and Karl Wilhelm demonstrated this abili- ty best by wearing pajamas, slippers, and a housecoat for “Come As You Are Day.” Wednesday, School Colors Day, some students returned to semi-normal. There were ex- ceptions however, as the day’s award winner, Charlie Heflin, painted his face and hair blue and red for the day. On Thursday, junior John Walker showed his ability to age quickly in his award winning costume on Old People Day. On Friday, students donned parents ' old clothes for 50s and 60s Day and Stuart Harris won the day ' s award. At the Homecoming game the students learned if their spirit ef- forts had paid off. The underclassmen were disap- pointed as the senior class was announced the winner of the Spirit Jug, but most took the loss in stride. The competition was fun, but winning or losing really didn ' t matter, junior Heather Beck said. “We all enjoyed it and that’s what counts.” DURING “ COME AS YOU ARE DAY” sophomore Wally Kil prepares to cook during the normal part of the day in Foods.

Instead of having the dance in the gym as in years past, it was held in the cafeteria. A place usually fill- ed with kids chattering loudly as they devoured dollar lun- ches, the room transformed into a dimly lit dance hall. A slice of history was imported through the wide selection of music ranging from the Golden Oldies pile with Elvis Presley to Morris Day and the Time, by D.J. Bob Webber. In fine Homecoming tradi- tion, the King and Queen, seniors Ginny Foreman and Mike Holobawski were crowned midway through the dance. “I was proud that I won, even though I didn ' t really ex- pect to,” Holobawski said. “All the guys who were nominated were popular and I thought we all had a good chance to win. I was pleased and it made me feel good about myself. Being elected Homecoming King is a pretty big honor.” For about 1 5 seconds, the royal couple had their private dance, then the rest of the people attending joined them on the dance floor. Even after the clock struck the midnight hour, turning the magical night of February 6 into the morning of February 7, the music still played loud- ly. However, another Homecoming had ended, leaving the Student Council and a few other good-willed people to clean up momen- tos in the form of balloons and paper streamers. GOING UP FOR the power layup, sixth- grade math teacher, Mr Frank Kwasny, scores his only two points of the game in the third quarter, as the faculty demolished the seniors, 101-50. COMING IN AS a substitute guard, Dan Beck scored four points in the game, all in the se- cond half, but it was far from enough to overcome a 51 -point loss to the faculty. ‘Ancient ones’ show youths who’s the boss HELD SCORELESS in the game, but running a good point-guard position, senior John Willems joked, Mr. Brindley ' s announcing ruined the seniors ' concentration! n legal terms, the faculty vic- tory should have been con- sidered a felony. It was almost a crime to see just how badly the seniors were beaten, after all of their boasting during the morning announcements. “We let the seniors have their fun, but we show ' em who ' s really best in the game every year,” said Mr. Greg Whitacre. On March 20, the faculty, labeled by the seniors as “ancient” and “decrepit,” shined on the gym floor against their younger op- ponents. The final score was 101-50 and witnesses knew the term “slaughtered was more applicable than “lost” in describing the seniors ' fate.” Partial credit for the victory went to Mr. Joseph Fetty and Mr. Steve Foulds, faculty coaches. For the seniors, Bob Briggs did the job. “Coaching the senior team was fun. I en- joyed the opportunity to be involved in the game, but still get a break from playing basketball, he said. Even though the seniors wanted a victory, the tradition set by the winning faculty lasted yet another year. It gives the seniors and the faculty a chance to com- pete on friendly terms. Even though each senior team wants to win, the game is played in the napie of fun,” said Tre Walkowiak. WINNING THE OPENING tip-otl against Mr. James Nicholas, senior Rick Sikma hit the ball into the hands of Mr. Royce McDougall allow- ing him to score. SCORING HIS ONLY two points of the first quarter, starting center Rick Sikma draws the foul from Mr. Nicholas. Rick scored six points for the game. SHOULD THE FACULTY BE CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER?

It felt like I was really on a stairway to heaven, recalled Tammy Sheehy, junior. It was different seeing everyone dressed up. After the not so hard work of being photographed by Spasoff Studios, dinner was served. There was turkey, beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, salad, dressing, dinner rolls, and a soft drink bar to tempt even the most finicky appetite. The prom was nice. The idea of having a DJ was a very good one. The place was decorated nicely and all the people seemed to have a good time,” said senior Mike Stawicki. In the midst of the dancing bodies, special guest Butch Baker from the local band, Run- ner, sang the theme song, Stairway to Heaven” to set the mood for the crowning of the king and queen. The crowd focused their at- tention on Mr. Joseph Fetty as he announced the candidates. Of all the senior couples nominated, Ken Owens and Kellie McElmurry were crowned the blue-blooded king and queen. The prom went very well. I enjoyed it,” said Mrs. Mary Love, junior class sponsor. The students seemed to be having a really good time and the prom committee achieved their purpose. 13EEEZZZZZMEZE Limit ed In number and size W ith a limited number of clubs and organizations, Hanover believed in quality, not quantity. With only eight clubs in the entire high school, each one was special in its own way. From Student Council to Science Club the groups actively promoted world-wide environmental causes. The newest club was, “Snowball,” a self- esteem organization for students and adults. It was a big hit, initially attracting about 25 members and growing every day. Although few in number, these groups reflected the student interests which continue to make Hanover unique, or should we say, a “Limited Edition?” AST MINUTE MIRACLES A 1 ho has the decorations?” V V Where is everybody?” Who is going to collect the money? What happened to all the cookies that everyone was supposed to bake? And just how can you do it all in only FIVE minutes? Dealing with the Student Council is most often a pain in the rear end However, it usually accomplishes what it sets out to do, with a sometimes large, sometimes small push from me, Mr. Robert Krol, sponsor said. Somehow all the work that was assigned seems to get done in the last 30 seconds, but 1 guess it ' s that way with Council members struggle with Father Time , but still meet high standards many organizations Most of it is done by students; 1 oversee the work and innovate new ideas. Student Council sponsored two blood drives, one in the fall and one in the spring For the fall drive, the council won a trophy for participation of school and community, beating out every other school in Lake County. The number of pints totaled 112. As a benefit to the school, the council bought a new VCR for the library, decreasing their bank account from approximately $1 ,200 to $900 CUDDUNG her stuffed animal, unior Tracy Merrill prepares fo donate during the blood drive DONOR SCREENING has recent SETTING AN EXAMPLE for students and the community.

Red meant I love you, white meant Secret Admirer, and pink signified “I ' m glad we ' re friends This sale helped them to prosper, earning over $250. Being president takes a lot of time and persistence to keep things running smoothly. It ' s tough to do so much, but I look forward to the rewards it will bring, said co-president Millie Willy, junior. Having co-presidents allows us to represent a wider range of students. But after all the ruckus and problems, the personal fulfillment you get from things like the blood drive helps you handle everything else, said junior Dan Barney, co-president. It’s tough to do so much, but I look forward to the rewards it will bring. — Millie Willy STUDENT COUNCIL members, (front): Jim Tustison, Jessica Sasseville, Sue LaVelle, Tim Smith, Deanne Mickey, Julie Weightman, Melissa Beck, Julie Wicker, Dan Beck, and Chrissy Baton.

Snowballers stressed importance of people, NHS stressed academics IFFERENT AWARENESS I hese people are hugging each I other! ’ ’ ‘ ‘What am I doing here?” “I don ' t belong here!” These thoughts went through Mr. Robert Krol ' s mind when he attended his first Snowball meeting. Mr. Krol and Ed Kubiak attended the first Snowball meeting where they were chosen to be staff members. Only 1 1 Hanover students participated in Snowball at Egars Junior High School a year ago. But the numbers have doubled and the program has expanded. During the four-day stay, Snowball programs focused on large group sessions and mini-workshops on teen problems. When I attended the first Snowball meeting, I felt really out of place,” Mr. Krol said. “Then I discovered it was a neat experience. This year I was co-director and four Hanover students were staff members. This program allows adults to communicate with kids on the same level, I only wish more teachers would get involved.” Personal and academic awareness from Snowball and National Honor Society were the threads that linked the groups to each other. IN PREPARATION for the new in- ductees, senior Julie Zambo starts the candle lighting ceremony. SECOND-YEAR Honor Society member Jay me Bilbruck gives a speech to the new inductees. National Honor Society retffled Holiday Star tickets, raising $100 for scholeuships. Mr. Bill Lueder was the winner. While people who were involved with Snowball developed a personal awareness, juniors and seniors who were inducted into National Honor Society emphasized their awareness of academic excellence. We hope to continue to stress the importance of study and application to school work and academic success. We would like to increase our membership but until more students excel, this will be difficult,” Mr. Jack Granger said. “I sponsor NHS because it was challenging for me to work with highly talented and motivated students. It was also personally rewarding to see them succeed in their endeavors.” NHS ideals included leadership, scholarship, service, character and being an inspiration to others. To qualify, the student had to be a junior or senior and have a 3.4 GPA. A faculty council consisting of five members made the final selections. Activities included the Thanksgiving food drive and the Senior-Faculty Basketball game. Also, they did the courtyard landscaping and maintenance. It was personally rewarding to see them succeed in their endeavors. — Mr. Jack Granger NHS Sponsor SINGING In His Love, Carolyn Xanders delivers her solo presentation at the ' 87 Spectacular.

The rope trick took place during junior Cheryl Swiecki ' s solo, “Holding Out for a Hero.” When intellectual freshman Tim Smith, who was selected for his unheroic appearance, swung in to rescue her from villains who had inadvertently failed to tie her up, the audience roared with laughter. “Before a show, I feel rushed. I want to get out and start performing. I love it. The bloopers made it all the more fun. Derek Viehman and Heather Bohlen came out, asking members of the audience where I had gone, ‘you know, short girl, blonde hair, white dress,’ and most people said, ' I don’t know, ' They even tried to bribe a little kid,” Cheryl said. T hen all the members of my family said, ‘Right over there. ' The villains weren ' t supposed to find me yet. 3Q !

Without any comedy relief, their sound was stil captivating. “It is a special style of acappella singing which originated in the late 16th century. It’s an extra-curricular activity that both choirs can be in and I kind of like that, the mixing of the two. We focus of the English style of Madrigal. Even though there are other styles; I like the sound a little better, said Miss Linda Beard. “I’m pretty proud of their success; I didn ' t really know what I was getting into, but they took first all three years that they’ve been going to contest in both state and district. “I got involved in Mardigals because it was a unique style of singing without any vibrato and I like to be unique almost as much as I like sing, said junior Michelle Piepho.

Art Club wasn ' t just a grouping of people interested in art, but it was a social club as well. New friends were made and new experiences were to be had in abundance. “I think the art club is one of the most interesting and unique groups in the school, because it is an entertaining and creative club,” said sophomore Doug Brown. “It is really fun going on all the field trips, seeing movies and playing all sorts of games; it gives you a chance to relax and enjoy yourself.” The art club ' s main fundraiser was a raffle for a seven-inch television with an A.M.-F.M. radio. The raffle raised $400. That money was used for sponsoring the sculpture park. Art Club has been very helpful in giving money to support the sculpture park,” commented Mr. Louis Greer, sponsor.

The guest speakers were a ceramist, a portrait painter and a blacksmith. “Art Club has helped me learn more about artists and the kinds of art,’’ said Joy Burgess. Art club consisted of 19 members. Elected president was Dawn Zezule, vice president, Vicky Vanco, secretary, Joy Burgess and treasurer, Paul Dickerson. “Because of the art club, I feel it has brought variety and excitement into the school.

Bob Krol was the sponsor and this trip to Hoosier Prairie was a singularly unsuccessful venture. Few birds were sighted and one member managed to fall through the ice. The dismal trip ended with breakfast at McDonald ' s where the Sausage McMuffin was making its debut. Since then, membership almost doubled. They had over $400 in the bank, almost as much as the Student Council. A Sock Hop dance, which cleared only $1 7 for the club, was enjoyed nonetheless. In addition to the Hop, two more dances took place, a Hawaiian and a casual one. To reward all the hard work, a Christmas party was held and as a summer bonus was a trip to Great America. However, besides entertainment, Science Club did things to improve their organization. As a fundraiser, over $200 in coupon books were sold. Articles were sent to various institutes for the protection of animals and the environment. SCIENCE CLUB MEMBERS, (Front): Mike Kretz, Steve Verge, Tom Cubit, Den Beck, Mike Konyk end Greg Koszut.

' Petitions were sent around for the protection of the Alaskan caribou and | “Arki” the polar bear was readopted. Snow leopard cubs were adopted to add to the Science Club Zoo. A petition and letter of protest were sent to Korea over the way dogs were caught in steel traps , and eaten as a delicacy. However, the concern didn’t stop with the furry portion of the world. A member of the club was sent to Snowball, a group interested in the preservation of humanity. A landscaping project improved the appearance of the country side and the annual Faculty-Staff Luncheon took place. “Sponsoring the Science Club has been challenging and rewarding.

The cast of the summer play, ‘The Villain of Rose Gulch Hollow or Don’t Go Near the Volcano Tonight,” strangely resembled that once popular cartoon. This half hour play was an appetizer for the meatier production that was to follow. ‘‘The Villain didn’t have much of a theme, said junior Luanne Gilkey, who played Granny Cranny, “but it was intended to entertain the audience and it did. I think everyone enjoys a role like that once in a while. It means you don’t have to be serious.” ‘‘God’s Favorite” was many people’s favorite as it was the main course of the evening. ' 85 Graduate Mike Milanowski played the lead, Joe Benjamin who endured many tests of his faith. Dave Petros, who had graduated the following year, portrayed the messenger from God. This was the modern day story of Job. Thespians raised money by selling chocolate candy to purchase better sound equipment for the auditorium. The fall play was “My Sister Eileen . Portraying the two leads, Eileen and Ruth, were juniors Cheryl Swiecki and Terry Panice. They set out for New York to make their fortunes. A slick landlord, Mr. Apoppolis, (sophomore Bo Walker) conned them into renting a junky basement apartment. Guys were interested in Eileen’s good looks and this led to complications: a hooker, a stolen painting and the Brazilian navy. Greeting the spring was the musical “Hello, Dolly.” With a bit of double casting, juniors Terry Panice and Cheryl Swiecki portrayed the nosy, match- making widow Dolly Levi. The crusty, bachelor Horace Vandergelder whom Dolly was interested in was freshman Jim Robertson. Those rehearsals, they seemed neverending but I was sorry after it was over. The feeling you get from the applause can’t be explained ...” said junior Terry Panice. LANDLORD, Bo Walker tries to rent an apartment to Ruth, portrayed by Terry Panice.

A regular eight-hour day was almost non-existent in the lives of school faculty members. Working from first to last bell was not enough. After a hectic day, teachers graded papers, planned classes, and coached. Most teachers liked to get these things done as soon as possible. As Mr. Terry Strawbridge, science teacher said, I like to get papers back to students while the material is still fresh in their minds.” Teachers weren ' t the only workers with an abundance of work-related things to do after hours. Principals Joseph Fetty and David Lemon often found themselves staying after school or working at home on pressing matters. “I try not to take home my work,” Mr. Fetty explained, “but I often find myself working after school on various things. If I do go home right after work, I’m usually back at the school for some sort of event. Mr. Lemon, assistant principal, said ”1 often go home after school only to find I have more work to do. Detention and expulsion forms often make up the bulk of my nights.” HOOKING UP the new Apple computers, Mr. Joseph Fetty said he was juicing them up for the secretaries.

In addition to the time-consuming textbook adoption, other teachers, like Mr. Krol, went back to school for more college study. Some continued teaching through the summer. Mr. Frazier taught sports writing at the Ball State Journalism Workshops. Several teachers taught summer school at Hanover. Mr. Gary Young, drama sponsor, had a full teaching schedule of sophomore and senior English plus a new course in drama. It ' s not difficult to find the time to direct, Mr. Young said. Most of my work comes after school and that is a convenient time for me. I like getting kids involved in a productive activity and keeping them off the streets. I’ve always enjoyed drama, movies and plays. I also like the challenge of making something good come out of the little that we have available. I just like being involved with the kids, although sometimes it can be frustrating.” Teachers obviously had busy, fulfilling lives outside the school walls, but they also enjoyed helping students beyond the minimum requirements.

Obviously, it wasn ' t a question that one could tastefully ask the resident custodians, nor one that a person would ever consider in depth. But it was a reality that the school ' s operation staff dealt with daily in a quiet, unassuming way. “I like this job really well because I like to work with and around young people,” Sam Campbell, chief custodian, said. ' ' I’ve been here 1 3 years and I have never had any problems with students.” He added, “This is my last year here. I started working here in 1 974 to have something to do and now I have decided it is time to do something else (retire).” “I like my job,” Mrs. Marilyn Dema, sanitation engineer, said. Students treat me well and they are really polite, which is why I like working here. The cafeteria workers’ job started early in the day, usually about 6:30 a.m. With breakfast and lunch to prepare, the day usually ended only just before the regular school day for students. Mrs. Ruth Mager, food services manager, said, I like working here very much. The students are very respectful. Once in a while there is a problem, but that is only to be expected.” Mrs. Jean Parks, cafeteria worker said, Students are nice and I enjoy being with them; I like my work. There are a bunch of nice ladies here to work with. School staff didn’t get just student respect. Mrs. Marilyn Imboden, cafteria worker, noted, I find personal satisfaction in my job because I enjoy working with the students and around them.” Students take note: it’s nice to know you were appreciated. Staff take note: you were, too. T RIAL AND ERROR The system held many surprises and caused wide-eyed amazement W ide-eyed and confused, the new freshmen wandered through the high school halls totally bewildered about the events to come. Would they fit in? Would some terrible upperclassmen try to initiate them? The Class of 1 990 faced the challenge of high school with an air of maturity. This year’s freshmen were more mature than most. The Class of ' 90 seemed to fit in right from the start,” commented Shay Vanco, junior. Fumbling with locker combinations, bumping into people while desperately looking for their classes, it took some time for the freshmen to catch on to the daily routine. It took a few weeks for me to feel comfortable in high school, but after I did, it was just like junior high all over again . . . maybe a little better, Bette Walker, freshman, explained. The freshmen also found themselves having more freedom to do more socially. Going to games and attending dances, along with other social activities, took up most free time. “I found I had more freedom when I started high school. My parents let me do more than ever before, claimed freshman Kelly Glidewell. “ When the school year began, I found that I didn’t have any time to myself because I was so busy going out and doing things, and the little time I had left was spent working on my homework,” added Dena Dahl, freshman. The days flew by and the freshman class started to feel they really belonged to high school society . After the first few weeks of school I really felt that we (the freshmen) were accepted by upperclassmen as part of the high school. Even so, it will be nice to become an upperclassman myself, explained Shannon Johnson, freshman. My freshman year was fun but I will be glad when my class is no longer the youngest, added Patricia Ahrendt. Soon the year was over and the Class of 1 990, although not likely to forget their first year of high school, was willing to give it a try and eager to acclaim the title of sophomore”.

These fresh faces probably belong to freshmen. These are the beings that invade the routine of high school with life and spice. These freshmen had positive feelings about their liberation in high school. I like being in high school better than junior high. It seems like I have more freedom. I can do more what I want and not so much what everyone else wants me to do, commented freshman Sonia Clark. The worst of being a freshman, though, was the way a person was treated upon entering high school because of the impression an older brother, sister or cousin had made. Teachers did a good job, though, of not forming prejudgments. Most teachers don ' t expect me to be like my brother. They accept me for the person I am, freshman Jim Robertson said. Obviously part of being a freshman had its ups and downs. One freshman put into words her ideas about the roller coaster affect of high school. “I feel that being a freshman is something to just tolerate until you can get to the higher grades where you can have some fun,” finished Shannon Viehman.

Jim Stigall, freshman, commented, “You are treated with more respect in high school.” The teachers expect you to do the best you can,” said freshman Christine Johnson. They don ' t really push you as much as the teachers did in the past. They just help you with the work and explain when you have a problem or a question, she added. Some freshmen took advanced classes that would help prepare them for college. These classes were demanding. The subjects were also harder than the basic subjects that freshmen were accustomed to taking. Freshman Bree Henn stated, Biology I was pretty hard; a lot harder than regular science.” Freshman Lori Canner was surprised when school got under way. “I thought my classes would not have been as hard as they turned out to be. I felt I had to face things more responsibly. I couldn’t just ease my way through high school like I did in junior high.” High school classes build self-reliance. Freshman Lisa Precht said, “You have to use your head more; there ' s not always people there to tell you what to do. The crash course in high school survival lasted only a year and then it was on to bigger and better things.

F itting in was no longer a source of concern for the sophomores. They had been in high school for a year and were old hands at knowing what to do in all kinds of situations. My freshman and sophomore years were dif- ferent in more ways than one. I felt like a begin- ner when I was a freshman and didn’t know what to do. This year I’m set in my own ways and am used to being in high school,” said Tina Pawlowski, sophomore. ”1 also like being a sophomore better than a freshman because graduation is another year closer,” she added. My sophomore year, personally, isn’t much different than my freshman year was, if any. My freshman year was interesting and I met a lot of new people. Now, in my sophomore year, I still hang around those people and I ' m not really going through any changes. I might say the only thing about being a sophomore that I like is the way I am treated, with more respect and courtesy. Being a sophomore is basicially a lot like the year of freshman, only without the grief that a freshman would get from the older kids, Angela Monroe stated. “I like my sophomore year better because, for one thing, I’m older and I have more ex- perience and I feel like I have more to say in the school,” commented Laura Kellerman.

Playing in the All School Volleyball Game is an experience I’ll never forget. I found the most satisfaction, though, in beating the juniors and seniors. We (the Class of 89) finally got to show the up- perclassmen that they ' re not as cool as they think they are, ' ' stated sophomore Bo Walker. Sophomore Mira Projovic explained, “I believe students should participate in as many activities as possible. It gives them a chance to meet new people as well as show their school spirit. Activities such as the All- School Volleyball Game gives them a chance to get away from books and enjoy an after- noon of fun with their class. Sophomores made many memories that they would remember and treasure. What I ' ll remember most about my sophomore year is my best friend Susan, and all the good times we shared together, reminisced sophomore Kristi White. Good times were a way of life for the Class of ' 89 and they planned to carry on the tradi- tion all through high school.

EADIHG THE RAHKS In achievement, the honor of outstanding sophomore was the reward I felt very good about being chosen Outstanding Sophomore. It made me feel good about myself and what I had ac- complished,’ ' explained Janice Xanders, Outstanding Sophomore. This award is one which has been presented annually by the Hugh O’Brien Youth Founda- tion to the sophomore who had proven that he or she was best choice. She thought, perhaps, that there was another person who could have been more deserving. ‘Maybe someone else could have won the award if more students had taken an interest, and applied. We need student leaders to carry out the year successfully, she said, concluding her opinions. Leigh Beck also had the leadership qualities deemed necessary to represent her class. She stated, I was very excited when I was notified because its really an honor to be chosen alter- nate for this award.” Not only were these two chosen but they both attended a seminar at Crown Point High School. Janice also attended a workshop during May in Indianapolis. Betty Wilkerson, guidance counselor, stated, The goal of the Outstanding Sophomore award and the leadership conference is to br- ing the leaders of the sophomores class together and give them a chance to find a way to make the school year better,” sl Andy Przybyla Lisa Quasebarth Doug Schreiber Derek Skievaski Andrew Stimach Phillip Stimach Robert Stockton Wayne Stoll Jennifer Summers Tammy Thiel Robert Tully Dana Vanco Vicki Vanco Aron Van Houton Stephen Varga Derek Veinman Charles Wagennar Bowen Walker MARCHING IN THE Armed Force Parade two year Pom Cat Michelle Clark marches to their routine.

The junior class was obsessed with cars and the privilege to drive them legally. Once accomplished activities of choice included going to the mall, to the movies, visiting friends, or just cruising around wasting gas. Junior Tammy Cox recalled one of her first solo experiences. “I was cruising over to Julie Weightman ' s house and I was pulling out of my driveway to cross (U.S.) 41 when my mom’s car petered out on me. I was so scared that I almost had a heart attack.” However, along with freedom came responsibility. As well as being interested in going out and having a good time, juniors worked after school to earn money for expenses caused by a car. If there was any left over, a little might be saved for the future. “The reason I work after school is because my boss schedules me to work around with my friends, but I can’t go out and goof around unless I have money,” explained junior Scott Kopaczewski. No one could ever say that the juniors were all work and no play. They liked to have fun just as much as the next class, in fact, maybe even more. After all, they were driven to it. JUNIOR CHIP STENGER was awarded the Boys Volleyball Most Improved Player trophy at the Fall Sports Ban- quet in November. “I was cruising over to Julie Weightman ' s house and I was pulling out of my driveway to cross 41 when my mom’s car petered out on me.

Even though the job requires a good deal of responsibility, I like the role of “tax collector and emptying the pockets of my fellow classmates,” said Heather Beck, class treasurer. Nearly every day the P.A. boomed, A meeting for the junior class officers ( or) for the Prom Committee will be in Room 13 during lunch today. There were not many free hours for either of the two groups. Planning for Prom took up much free time, as did the plans made by class officers to make the year run smoothly. The support of the junior class helped the officers and various committees. However, there was always room for improvement, even though the class showed more spirit by cheering at games and pep rallies. Three-year president Carolyn Xanders noted, I think more of the junior class needs to get involved in school related activities and support their class . . . but the one thing that went well this year for us was the cheese and sausage sale. We raised $1 ,400. 1 hope we keep up the good work. I think the class officers are doing their best, but we do need the support of our class.” Scott Kopaczewski Jeff Koszut Loretta Kujawa Michael Lindzy Rich Loudermilk Bryan Matuska Barb McKeever Tracy Merrill Tim Metcalfe Deanne Mickey Rodney Molden Mary Mudy Terry Panice Paul Paquette Doug Patchin Michelle Piepho Mike Randall Michael Rastall Wendy Roethler C LOSER TO THE TOP Looking down was scary, as well as exciting ( l ince the seniors are the top class, it vj feels good to be the next class to be at the top, said Wendy Roethler, junior. Karen Bainbridge, explained, I like being a junior. It’s a lot more fun than being a sophomore. Juniors and seniors are allowed to do more, such as attend college meetings and have classes that are much more informally structured. The goal that I’ve been working toward, graduation, is a lot closer than I realized and it’s a little bit scary as well as exciting. The respect that had been missing as freshmen and sophomores was found in becoming juniors. “ The teachers treat us as equals but on that same level, they also expect you to behave that way. Most of the time, it’s either do it right or get out, junior Loretta Kujawa, said. “I didn ' t get much respect as an underclassman and as a junior I do. I used to look up to the upperclassmen. I like being in that position now myself and getting respect from the younger kids. As well as finding the junior lifestyle to be freer and more privileged, there were some people who felt it had its disadvantages. It’s worse being a junior because classes are harder and too much self-discipline is necessary in order to balance all the parts of my life,” junior Sam Goff said. Also, for sports, particularly in cross country, being a junior made me the leader because no seniors even bothered to try. I ' ve been used to having senior leadership in the past, he added. From academics to extra-curricular activities, there were more opportunities as well as more work and responsibility, but mostly it was a year of adjustment from being middle-of-the-road sophomores to upperclassmen. It was a big step. “It was a tough year, clarified Dan Barney, junior. We had to start prep aring for college after a year of sophomore playtime. The classes seem more challenging but all in all, it was fun and I had some interesting experiences.” Jeff Sawaska Kris Sharp Tammy Sheehy Beth Shreve Mark Stamper Alicia Stanley Angie Stelow Chip Stenger Sherri Sullivan Cheryl Swiecki Shane Szutenbach Sherri Thackston James Travis Teresa Travis Bob Van Houten 62 CLASS OF ' 88 ( Not Pictured Dan Beck Ulysses Lopez Melissa Marshall Tim Nordyke Wayne Pyle John Skordas Shay Vanco “ ...

Symptoms of this include: 1 ) the use of phrases such as ' I don ' t care. I ' ll be out of here in a few more months’; 2) the tendency to dress weird or take dares; and 3) the need to party,” senior Gretchen Stoll said. “This is a point in our lives when we realize we have to take more responsibility. We’re just having one last fling.” Senioritis went into remission during Spirit Week. Seniors went all out to capture the much coveted Spirit Jug. Dressing in outrageous costumes and participating in contests were all part of the class spirit. “It’s more contagious than the black plague. Its more deadly than tuberculosis. It’s able to crush senior grades in a single bound. Is it immaturity? Is it laziness? No, its senioritis,” commented senior Mike Kretz. Even with the dreaded senioritis, the seniors managed to abscond with the spirit jug. A side effect was the message to the other classes that even though senior days were numbered, they were still the top class.

Some students had looked forward to it since the first day of kindergarten and other people saw it as a strange and unwelcome change. Graduation is a frightening reality,” explained Heidi Tully. I like being involved in school related events but the thought that our class will never be together in the same way is a little sad. Although I have plans after graduation, I have to make them happen myself and everything has always been handed to me. How can I be sure it will work out?” Their time in high school was all they remembered and some actually enjoyed the feeling of importance that came from being involved in extra curricular activities. “Graduation day will be the best day of my life,” disagreed Mark Gruenhagen. “Sure it might be scary but it ' s risk I’m willing to take. Although some seniors looked upon graduation with fear, others relished the thought of freedom from homework, teachers, rules, and tests. However, was it really freedom or was it actually a new beginning that might prove to be either better or worse than high school could ever have been?

Unlimited In several editions W ith few limitations, boys and girls teams turned-in some unlimited performances. Defeating 20th-ranked Crown Point in the girls sectional finals, the Lady Wildcats were able to capture their first sectional volleyball championship in Hanover’s 20-year history. The boys varsity basketball team captured the PCC Championship, defeating Boone Grove, 58-54. Earlier, Mike Holobawski reached his 1 ,000th career point in the game against Westville on January 1 6. Scott Campbell, Hanover’s 138-pound sectional champ, wrestled his way to regionals, but came up short in the second round. Scott ended the season with a 34-4 record, had the most take-downs, and the most pins during the regular season. C radling his opponent, John Uazurak of Merrillville, Doug Willems wins the match, 15-1, to take second in the Crown Point sectionals. Doug ended the season with a 24-5 record. n y SPORTS I DIVIDER It was a strain on the body and . . . RIGOROUS TRAINING DEMANDED THE BEST S weat poured off the runners, even though the air was chilly. Panting could be heard as they ap- proached the end of the chute. This sport was unlike any other. It wasn’t so much a team sport, as it was individuals trying to place as high as possible. It was a strain on the body and training was rigorous. First-year coach Steve Foulds said, The key to the season was that the team worked hard and they were willing to work.” Best efforts came through, as the team placed fourth in the conference meet. The team reached their main goal of the season by placing in that meet. Coach Foulds noted that this meet was the highlight of the season. Not only did the team reach its goal, but so did individual team members. According to Coach Foulds, sophomore Eric Goff and junior Jeff Sawaska ran a good race, both recording their best times of the season. He also added that all the runners put forth good efforts and did what was needed during the race. Five runners earned letters for the season, including freshman Chris York, sophomore Eric Goff, and juniors Sam Goff, Jeff Sawaska and Scott Campbell. Freshman Tony Rastall received a certificate for his efforts. Special honors went to Sam Goff, who was named Most Valuable Runner. The “Most Improved Runner” was Chris York, while Scott Campbell received the Hustle Award.” While this was Coach Foulds’ first Wildcat season, he coached in Illinois for eight years. For his first season,” Sam Goff said, “he was a very good coach.” Coach Foulds wished that he could have been here to encourage people to join the team. He also noted that he wished that the team would have had a better at- titude toward school work, because some meets were forfeited due to their ineligibility.

There were a lot of inexperienced players and it was the first year for the coach, too. It was an exciting season. Coach Steve Landis thought that if he had worked the team a little harder at practice the team could have went even further than it did. The team didn’t prepare as well as it could have for the games, but all in all, it was a positive experience for the team. The unoffical Most Valuable Player was Matt Wolff, according to Coach Landis. Other top players were John Walker, Derek Viehman, Gary Dema, and Steve Kil. The Boy ' s Junior Varsity Volleyball team played well considering the amount of experience that they had playing together and with a totally new coach. “I think that as time goes on, a successful program will be developed for junior varsity volleyball, ' ' commented Coach Landis. With a record of 4-15, the Girls ' Junior Varsity Volleyball team didn ' t live up to Coach Ann Thompson’s expectations. The season was peppered by a lot of raw talent and according to Coach Thompson, more can be done when the team works together. Volleyball was an experience that I will build on in my future years at H.C. It was also something that I could turn to to take my mind off of my problems in school, recalled Shannon Sheehy. Even though the J.V. team wasn ' t always victorious, it was theraputic for the players, and the coaches had high expectations of victories to come.

I M RECEIVING A SERVE, sophomore Kelly Kopeck and senior Julie Wicker saw plenty of defensive action. They weren’t just winning matches . . . THEY CHANGED THEIR DESTINY I t was a tense moment. It had been a tough loss. Into the second game of the match, the team was losing to Munster in the semi- finals of sectionals. At this point, most people thought it was over; that the team had cracked under all the pressure, but “It ain’t over, ’til it ' s over.” In a fast, action-packed finish to game two, the girls stopped Munster ' s scoring at ten, scored 13 straight points, and snatched victory from the stunned Mustangs. With the match tied, the Wildcat momentum snuffed any chance Munster thought it might have, tak- ing the semi-final, 15-5. It was typical of the team ' s spirit, skill and determination. Before the match against Munster was the match against state-ranked Highland which was not a crema- tion but a comparatively easy victory. State-ranked Crown Point was the championship op- ponent. The first game of the match was won relatively easily. The second game was lost in a valiant effort. Then came the final test. It was touch and go but the Lady Wildcats won their first sectional victory, 15-8, 3- 15,15-13. Coach Carol Grady thought that even if they hadn ' t won sectionals, it was a better season than any she had known. She said she had a team of ladies who liked to play volleyball and there was no trouble among players. The girls shared one common goal which was to make the team successful. This is the greatest team I ' ve ever coached, Coach Grady said. Having girls with such good attitudes made a big difference. This is the only season I ' ve ever had when I was sorry to see it end. Usually when the season ends, both the girls and I are tired of volleyball and are ready to move on to something new. I want to say that the memories we created this year will last a lifetime and it’s not just the winning.

BOY’S VARSITY ’CATS WERE BACK ON TRACK O n the front row, muscle’s tensed as players readied to leap for a spike. The ball was served and with lightning-fast accuracy, it shot forward and struck the floor on the only undefended spot; the sound of the ace echoed around the gym. The first goal of the season, which was to snap a 23 game losing streak was aced with ease. The second goal was to be competitive in a conference meet. This was not attained completely as only one match was won in the conference. However, the only team not defeated in at least one game during the season was Boone Grove. This team was far better than the team from last year, which only won two games out of all their mat- ches. Our record wasn ' t great but considering the im- provement of the team, I think that we are definitely moving in the right direction, Coach Mike Frazier said. I would like to have that same group of guys to work with for another year. We were a good but inexperienc- ed team. The most rewarding part of the season pro- bably was winning a game against Westville, who went on to win the state tournament. I think the team really played up to its potential in that match. We played pretty well, even though our record didn’t reflect it.” said senior Denny Cokenour. It was a good experience for all of us, as we didn’t have that much ex- perience playing together as a team. We had to learn how to co-operate with each other. I really enjoyed it.” The award for Most Improved player went to Chip Stenger, junior. Best Offensive Player was senior Ted Jenkins. Senior Mark Gruenhagen received an award as top Defensive player.

AN ENTERTAINING SPORT B eing a cheerleader wasn ' t all pretty ribbons and fluffy pom pons. However, the work and dedication to the boosting of team morale didn’t go unrewarded. “I think we have come a long way as far as getting more people involved in school spirit, for example, the Porter County Conference cheerblock, but still more people need pride in their school. I hope the cheerleaders can help develop it,” said junior Heather Bohlen, varsity cheerleader. Still more was involved in being a cheerleader than sharing the victories, rah-rahing at games and raising morale. It was a sport that helped build self-confidence. Sometimes it’s hard to be a cheerleader — standing there cheering in front of so many people while they sit there and have absolutely no reaction at all to the game and the cheers I’m trying to lead, junior Martha Willy noted. But ... at the Porter County Conference, all this hard work pays off. Seeing all those people get together to back their school and team with pride makes it all worthwhile. I’m glad that I got to be on a squad that students were willing to support.” CHEERLEADERS include (front): Karen Bainbridge, Tracy Haberlin, Shelly Palmer, Paula Gonzalez, Tonya Brumbaugh, Margo Willy, Wendy Beamer (Middle): Deann Mickey, Caroline Huseman, Cherie Croak, Liz McElmurry, Martha Willy (Back): Heather Bohlen, Theresa G riesmer, Kelly McElmurry, and Michelle Croak. . . .

From beginning to end , pomcats shook the crowd WITH U.S.C.A. AWARD WINNING ROUTINES C ashing in on long hours of practice, the pomcats won the United States Cheerleaders Association National Champion pom pon team award. Winning this qualified them to compete in the U.S.C.A. Grand Championships, but due to a lack of money, the corp was unable to attend the competition. “I was extremely happy and surprised to discover that I was coaching a champion corp. The girls really put their hearts and souls into this performance,” ex- pressed Mrs. Coleen Darnell, sponsor. The way that all our hard work paid off was greater than our expectations.” Another award was for first place spirit. The squad that executed the most enthusiasm and school spirit won this award. A parading of talent was part of the pomcat routine. They marched in the Cedar Lake Armed Forces Day parade and in both Cedar Lake and Crown Point 4th of July parades. “I really enjoyed my first year on the Pom Pon Corps,” said junior Tracy Merrill. It’s a lot of hard work and you have to sacrifice many things and activities to dedicate yourself to the corp, but it’s really fun.” However, in this organization, the sponsor was no less dedicated than the pomcats to designing and perfecting routines. “I spend hours working on formations and finding music to improve the corp in every way possible. It is important that I am just as dedicated as the girls are, Mrs. Darnell said. The Pomcats held a bake sale and a tag day which raised over $1 ,000.00. This money enabled them to buy poodle skirts, used in a 50s routine on Parents’ Night, February 13. Taking the gym floor for the last time, the pomcats received their first standing ovation. It was a memorable way to end the season.

DESIRE WAS THE KEY WORD IN THE SEASON D esiring to escape their punishment, the Girls Var- sity Basketball team exhibited all the stamina and pride they possessed. “These practices made the players desire to live through them, said Coach Ann Thompson. At desire practices, every exercise had a purpose and if the goals set at the beginning of the practice were not reached, there was a punishment. The punishment ranged from running laps to “guts. “Guts had different names such as killers and suicides” but regardless of what they were titled, the pain they inflicted remained the same. “The practices helped to build up our stamina and make us the best athletes we could possible be. Even though most of us felt like we were going to drop when we finished with practice, nearly everyone came back to the next one, ready and willing to take whatever was dished out. To have a good season you have to really dedicate yourself and your time to whatever team you are on. It takes practice to be the best you can be at any activity, said junior Deann Hahn. Three goals were set, but none had been reached when the season came to a close. The goal of winning a sectional game was within their grasp as they led Highland by 16 points in the first half, but the Lady Wildcats fell short in the second half, losing by the score of 49-62. The Lady wildcats came close to reaching their se- cond goal, which was to place second in the conference and they placed third. A Porter County Conference Tournament champion- ship was desired, but the team was defeated by LaCrosse in the final game. It was a disappointment, sure; I really wanted us to win a PCC because this is the last year that Ginny Foreman will be on the team and we all wanted to do it for her, said Carolyn Xanders, junior. But we have to learn to take things as they come and accept both the victories and the defeats. This really helped us to become better sportsman.” GIRLS V Season PCC Records 12 - 6 5-3 HC Scores Listed First Opponent Griffith 62-29 HC Scores Listed First Opponent Wash Twp 77-39 North Newton 50-45 Lowell 64-60 Calumet 43-40 Hebron 66-59 LaCrosse 56-57 Wheeler 56-49 Kouts 37-38 Hebron 66-44 River Forest 77-60 Wheeler 42-41 Morgan Twp. 51-61 LaCrosse 42-45 Westville 69-31 Boone Grove 58-54 Munster 40-47 Highland 49-62 SURROUNDED by Lady Spartans, junior Carolyn Xanders takes a shot against North Newton, resulting in a three- point play.

GIRLS MADE HARD WORK PAY OFF W ith an exciting victory against the tough Griffith Panthers, 31-20, the girls junior varsity basket- ball team opened the season unlimited in expec- tations for a winning record and to excel in the conference. “Certainly we won other games, but I think that the Griffith game was our best because we played extreme- ly well against their strong team,” explained Coach Carol Grady. A respectable 8-7 season and a good 4-2 record in conference play illustrated that these expectations had indeed been met. Hard work and determination were two qualities that combined to make their season a win- ning one. Since I was only a freshman, it was great to be play- ing on the junior varsity team. Practices were tough, but playing well for the team and for my self made all the hard work and effort seem to pay off, explained Bette Walker. And having a winning season really made everything that we ' d put into the games and practices worthwhile. As in most seasons, there were both wins and losses, but the girls played hard so that the season was weighted with a few more victories than defeats. We had our ups and downs, but we ended the season with a winning record, Coach Grady said. I saw many individual as well as team improvements this year that will be beneficial to the players as they move up the basketball ladder.” Playing on the J.V. team was a lot of fun. I’ve always been athletic and liked to play basketball and the team gave me a good chance to do that. We all worked and practiced hard so that we could have a winnning season. What I really liked the most, though, about this season was that we ended 8-7, freshman Patricia Ahrendt said.

P m I 5 VictoTy visits the varsity basketball team A RECORD BREAKING SEASON FOR THE ’CATS V ictory characterized the boy ' s varsity season and the attitude of the players. With an overall record of 18-4, it was the best season that Hanover had ever seen. Everyone” said after losing six of seven starters to graduation that it would be lucky if the Cats would have a .500 season. Everyone” was wrong. This year’s group proved game-in and game-out that was not going to happen, Coach Terry Strawbridge said. We had quite a few winning streaks going and I have to give them all the credit in the world for making this season so successful. This is only the second Porter County Conference (Tournament) cham- pionship for Hanover in 17 years and I feel like that is really something to be proud of. Every year we have some failures and every year we have some successes. We lost three overtime games, but we did win six games by five points or less, so we did pretty well when it came to taking the close ones, the coach said. I hope to continue with our success and to learn from our defeats,” Coach Strawbridge added. There are three things that it will take from both myself and my players to transform our failures into victories and they are listening, hard work, and a good attitude. With luck, we ' ll pull it off.” Varsity players were rewarded for their hard work and effort at the Sports banquet on March 11. Mike Holobawski won several awards in response to his ma- jor contribution to the team. These included Most Valuable Player, Best Free throw percentage with 82.2%, and broke the school scoring record with 1 ,237 total career points. He was also the Leading Scorer averaging 24.6 points per game. BOYS VARSITY Season PCC Records 18 - 4 7-1 HC Scores Listed Opponent H. Gavit Wheeler Lowell Hebron L. Station Whiting L.

CONSTANT SWITCHING RULES OUT WIN STREAK I T raveling had more than one meaning to the boys ' junior varsity basketball team. Players traveled from school to school when they had away games. Traveling was also a term used to describe a moving violation resulting in a turnover. However, another type of traveling was unique to the J.V. team. Players hardly ever remained solely on J.V.; they traveled between it and varsity. I played on both teams; that was kind of bad,” said junior John Walker. “When you play on two different teams all the time, it’s a little hard to work together like a team should, but that way you can celebrate no matter which team wins. It was hard to get a feeling of cooperation going because there was no sense of continuity. The players worked hard at practice, though, and they enjoyed the chance to play the game of basketball. The J.V. team was compared to an opening band. Like a group that prepared the audience for the main at- traction, they weren ' t quite ready to play center stage, but the team was working its way up. With hard work and practice, the team will ex- perience some success. The J.V. guys I worked with will be good players next year. We lost a few games that we should have won, but that was only to be expected, under the circumstances, said Coach Steve Foulds. They didn’t practice all that much as a team; there were 16 different guys who played for J.V. during the course of the season, and freshmen were used as fillers. These circumstances ruled out a winning streak. Ending the season 6-1 1 , the record was only sparsely populated with victories. It was interesting to be the opening act but most players looked forward. BOYS JUNIOR VARSITY Season PCC Records 6 - 11 2-6 HC Scores Listed First Opponent H.

DURING THE first quarter of play, sophomore guard Derek Skievaski pushes the ball up court, as Hanover plays Washington Twp I The word young didn’t mean unsucc essful F reshmen basketball traditionally meant a humorously losing season that reflected the players ' lowly high school status. Up until now. Although the team ' s victories did not exceed its number of losses, they had a winning season as com- pared to past ones. Afterall, the freshmen of ' 84- ' 85 ehded their season 2-16. Finishing with an 8-12 record, Coach Dale Gurgel was proud of the team ' s improvement. By the end of the season attitudes had improved, and so had skills,” he commented. Players Ryan Darnell and Chris York were the most improved.” The Griffith tourney was a season highlight. We won the first game against Gavit, 38-37. In the championship we lost to the host, Griffith, 37-38, but it was also a great game,” Coach Gurgel continued. “At the Lowell tourney we won the first game against North Newton, 41-40,” he added. “The championship we lost to Lowell, 50-42, but we played an excellent game because the week before we lost to Lowell, 70- 39, a vast improvement.” Determination and drive were present in the players to make this season different than other seasons. This was evident in their successful attempt to prove that youth didn ' t necessarily mean a losing season. The addtion of academic pressure along with the variety combined to make the year unforgetable. “My freshman year playing sports has been quite an experience and made academics more difficult, Chris York said. “The competition for basketball, in general have been quite tough. One of the things that has made the year progress more smoothly is the help of my friends along with the upperclassmen accepting me.” We had the spirit to win and, for most of our games, that was what happened, said player Ryan Darnell. Our season wasn ' t bad; we played a few really awesome games,” added freshman, Daniel Giacolona.

Even though we had i the best records and wrestlers, it was frustrating because we had set such high stan- dards, said Coach Greg Whitacre. According to him, the wrestling team had the toughest competition in the whole school. Wrestling state-ranked teams was a routine part of the season. As there was not a wrestling conference in Porter County, it was much more difficult to advance in their wins. At the Lake Station and Knox Tournaments three wrestlers excelled. Senior Johnny Willems, junior Scott Campbell, and sophomore Doug Willems all won cham- pionships. In addition to this title, Johnny Willems also was the first wrestler to win the Knox tournament four times and the Lake Station tournament three times in a row. Also, he won the Most Outstanding Wrestler award in each tournament. Receiving individual wins at the tourneys and setting new school records were two goals achieved during the season. Johnny Willems and Scott Campbell acquired state ranks which was one of the high points of the season. Campbell was ranked sixth and Willems ranked fourth in the state, which was the highest rank in the school’s history. Individuals became better wrestlers, as they each supported and worked closely with others. “Even though the wrestling team was smaller in size, the top few were better in quality and dedication than previous wrestlers,” commented Coach Whitacre. Scott Campbell had the most wins and take downs in a season. Johnny Willems had the most seasonal pins, take-downs and pins in a career. “What we achieved was great, but we want more,” added Coach Whitacre. LOOKING ON at his team, Coach Greg Whitacre hopes tor a victorious match. THIRD YEAR VARSITY wrestler, Scott Campbell goes for a single leg take-down during sectionals in Crown Point.

But for the girls varsity team, broken track records meant victory, as three records were set. In shot put, sophomore, Kelly Kopak threw a distance of 33’4” to capture the four-year-old school record and qualify for sectionals. Junior Carolyn Xanders ran her best time of :51 .6 in the 300-meter hurdles, also a school record. A brand new event was contested when the IHSAA added the 3200 meter run for girls ' track. Jenny Baran established a school record of 12:33.2 in this new event and qualified for sectionals. It was a terrific season. I did better than I expected,” Baran said. I had fun, and I can’t wait until next year so I can try for the record again.” i wanted to break the record in shot put, but I didn’t do it. I broke the junior high one, but since I ' m a freshman, I have plenty of time. I think I ' ll do it next year,” said Bette Walker. Coach Carol Grady noted, There were a lot of young people on the team. Us ually they quit after they find out that track is a lot of hard work, but they stuck it out and improved quite a bit. Junior Carolyn Xanders agreed with the coach. “We didn’t meet all our goals as a team, but for individuals it was a really outstanding year. Everyone improved quite a bit and I enjoyed it a lot,” she said. Even though I really enjoy sprints and running, when conditioning starts, you can get pretty sore,” Deann Hahn, junior, said. The upperclassmen were hard working,” Coach Grady added. Hopefully, it rubbed off on the younger ones so we can start where we left off.” Due to the number of records broken, personal bests at the conference meet, and sectional qualifiers in more events, the year proved to be quite a success, Coach Grady said.

You have to be the kind of person willing to pusn yourself every day and that ' s no easy task, for anyone, ” said Coach Mike Frazier. Having members who liked to work was a major factor in having five out of nine members qualify for sec- tionals. Qualifiers were, Doug Patchin in shot put, Jeff Milanowski in the 200, Ted Jenkins in pole vault and the 200, and the 400 meter relay team of Phil Babin, Doug Patchin, Rich Fink, and Ted Jenkins. Qualifying for sectionals in shot put in the very first meet with a throw of 45 ' 6” was junior Doug Patchin. “I couldn ' t believe I threw that far in the first meet. My goal was 44 ' . I wouldn ' t have been able to do it without Coach Foulds ' help,” Patchin said. Doug also ran the 400 and 1600 meter relays. “My best time of the year in the 400 was :1 1 .3 and in the 1600 my best time was :56.4 and I was happy about that. That is the fastest I have ever run,” he added. After breaking his own PCC pole vault record with a height of 12’9 , senior Ted Jenkins went on to break the school record with his best vault of the year at sec- tionals with the height of 13 0“. I was glad I broke the records, but I wasn’t satisfied because I didn ' t make it to regionals,” Ted said. The team did not accomplish their goal of going 4-4 in conference. Their conference record was 2-6, but they did win their first non-conference meet in three years, beating Lake Station, 71-55. The team ' s overall record was 3-9. In spite of their few victories Coach Frazier felt there was success. Everyone on the team made a major contribution, he said. It also helped to have new assistant coach Steve Foulds pushing the weight events people and distance runners. The team started out with 20 members, but nine quit by the time the season started. Part way through the season another was lost due to grades, but the team held together. The coach said losing those people was hard on the team because the remaining members had to push themselves harder by taking more events.

In laymen ' s terms, an ace was a hole in one, (which rarely, if ever occurred), a bunker was a sand trap, (which was definitely not the place to hit the ball), and caddy was a person who carried the golf clubs, (which was an advantage that these players did not have.) With a season record of 7-8, this was better than the past three years, even though they still did not clear .500. The best match was at South Shore against Rensselear and Lowell,” Coach John Brindley said. The players did well as a team, but Denny Cokenour was the team MVP, his average being 46.1 .” Out of 19 students who went out for golf, only 1 1 of them were left by sectionals. There were four seniors on the team and that meant that I had experienced players to work with, Coach Brindley continued. This team showed an improvement over our teams the past couple of years. Jason Anderson lettered last year as a freshman and again this year as a sophomore. Most likely he will be my number one golfer for the next two years. A freshman this year, Anthony Kenning, also showed promise and played well.” Ginny Foreman completed two seasons of golf in one year, (a task never before attempted) earning a letter in both. She competed as an individual in girls golf in the fall, playing on the boys ' team in the spring as well. Due to prior competition in the girls ' sectional she was not allowed to compete with the boys in their sectional. In the girls’ sectional, she was a third place medalist and in regionals she placed twelfth out of 80,” said Coach Brindley. Ginny was also the most consistent player on the boys team; her average being 49.

Shut the door and come in out of the cold TURNING ON THE HEAT, CATS WERE REDHOT W inning ten games, those cold losing seasons before became a thing of the past for the varsity baseball team. “My two goals for the year were to get more than 10 wins and to finish in the top third in the conference. We fell slightly short on both instances, but we re getting closer,” Coach Arden Smith said. “The kind of season we had helped make up for what we didn’t do. First baseman Steve Kil, junior, agreed. Morgan beat us by about 14 runs during the regular season, but then in the PCC tournament, we came back to beat them 4-1. Then, in another game we were ahead of Beecher, but a home run was hit in the last inning to capture the win for them. Then they came back to our field where we beat them by about 6 runs. Revenge is sweet ...” Going from lukewarm to red hot, the team broke more than one record. Setting a new one for runs batted in (1 7) was junior John Walker. “We just keep getting better and better,” Walker said. We’re only losing one senior, and it’s going to be quite difficult to replace him. This year when we needed a clutch hit or run we always seemed to get it. It seems that everyone is hitting better and the team is becoming more dedicated than in the past.” Records were slashed by sophomore Matt Wolff, who pitched more strikeouts (138) and hit more homeruns (4) than any other Wildcat in school history. “We were playing more as a team, and also the fact that people sort of played better contributed to some of our victories,” said sophomore Matt Wolff. “Being a finalist in the PCC made the season special,” Coach Smith said. “Players had more overall talent and their skill level was higher than other teams I’ve coached,” Smith added.

They were John Willems and Ginny Foreman. “After I received my awards the night of the banquet, I went home feeling proud of my accomplishments, but I also went home feeling sad because my sports career at H.C. was over, explained Ginny. Players that were named to the all-conference teams were; Ted Jenkins, boys volleyball; Ginny Foreman and Carolyn Xanders, girls volleyball, Mike Holobawski, boys ' basketball; Ted Jenkins, boys track; Julie Wicker and Denise Mickey, girls track; and Matt Wolff, baseball. “Whenever you receive an award, the size of it or the attention you get from it doesn ' t mean a thing. It just makes you feel good about yourself and your achievements, said senior Julie Wicker. Recognition came after four years of hard work. Those seniors who received athletic letters claimed pla- ' ques given by the athletic department, in light of their accomplishment and dedication to the program. These seniors were Mike Brady, Bob Briggs, Denny Cokenour, Rob Faricelli, Ginny Foreman, Mark Gruenhagen, Mike Holobawski, Ted Jenkins, Patti Ken- ning, Rick Sikma, Danielle Stevens, Brian Terry, Julie Wicker and John Willems. “Winning athletic awards makes a person feel good. It feels like something was accomplished during the years spent in high school and it also leaves the impres- sion that a certain goal was both set and attained, said Danielle Stevens.

PERFORMING during halftime, freshman Jason Jansen and director Mr John Gorball of the Pep Band, keep the crowd entertained at a home basketball game. H itting the highest note in her reper- toire, the first soprano shattered every window in the school. Actually, that never happened, but a high pitch was definitely a goal of sopranos. Senior soprano Julie Zambo made All-State choir for three years and always received firsts in all competitions. “It was fun and one of the best things that ever happened to me,” she said. “Out of my seven years teaching here, vocally they were the best choirs I’ve ever had, said Linda Beard, choir director. Band and choir members hit new notes in competition with their combined suc- cesses. Band members picked up four firsts, five sconds and one third place at the solo and ensemble contest at Hobart High School. “Overall, it was a good school year. I was pleased, especially with Stuart Harris participating in the All-State band, said Mr. John Gorball, band director. “All-State band weekend was the best weekend I’ve ever had because I got to do things that a small band’s tuba section can’t,” said Stuart Harris.

Mr. Greg Whitacre. A new look was taken at our own history by someone who didn’t know it so well A FOREIGN VIEW l l panish is a good class to take. Not only do you learn about Spanish cultures and their language, but it helps you understand English better too because it helps ex- plain the grammar,” said Elizabeth McElmurry, second-year Spanish student. While students in Mr. Jack Granger ' s Spanish classes were learning about a new language and the cultures that use it, social studies students were discover- ing American history, government, and economics. “Since I ' m from Canada, U.S. history is new to me, but I’ve found it to be quite interesting,” explained Annie Gagnon, junior. For Annie her first year at Hanover also meant her first year in the United States. “My first couple of months in history class were really hard hard because I could hardly understand the people or the book said Annie. With help from her family, friends, and Mr. Whitacre, Annie had command of the classroom discussions and the book. U.S. history talks a lot more about war and foreign conflicts than Canadian. We basically studied impor- tant people and locations, but U.S. history is a lot more interesting,” she said. m „ ) SOCIftL STUDIES TALKING OVER their assignment, Sue Burandt, Karen Bainbridge and Denny Cokenour make sure they understand. DICTATING AN ASSIGNMENT, Mr. Jack Granger discusses the Spanish 1 homework assignment. LOOKING OVER her quiz, junior Barb McKeever checks to see which answers were correct on her U.S. History test.

PROJECT WORK in Honors English 11 finds junior Chip Stenger calling the Easter Bunny on his telephone. As grammar proved elusive, English challenged the people who spoke it A LOSING BATTLE o some, English was more like a foreign language, if the way it was commonly used in the hallways was anything to judge by. Even though the high school dialect was sprinkled liberally with a few ain ' t’s” and don’t got none ' s,” it was the job of teachers to wipe out bad gram- mar. Outside the classroom, it was a los- ing battle trying to instill a lasting knowledge of grammar and literature. I repeat that comprehensive test periodically. If students think a test is on Friday, then they learn the material for that day and forget it. Repetition may help them retain it,” said Mr. Gary Young, English 10 teacher. English classes went further than the basics with juniors. They developed media projects. I believe the video project is a learn- ing experience that we will not soon forget. It will extract our literary focus skills and sharpen our abilities to analyze the quality of a production,” said junior Heather Beck. ft ENGLISH LL We have improved writing skills in College Prep English. — Mr. Gary Young � WORKING ON his video project in Honors English, junior Dan Barney stops to take aim at the photographer with his water-powered Uzi machine gun. DEEP IN concentration, sophomore Laura Moll thinks about the sentence to diagram in Mr. Gary Young ' s first-hour English class. Treasured ‘heirlooms’ were truly Limited Editions Shelf stuff F umbling with a blob of clay, the novice art student molded the lumpy brown ash tray. Meanwhile, a small wooden chest took form in Industrial Arts that would, when completed, grace the shelves of a proud parent. On possibly every shelf in America sits a lumpy brown ash tray, if not in actuality, in essence. A project completed by a child is considered a treasure, by mom and dad, if even to the untrained eye it appears to be junk. “We do a lot of cool stuff in the shop classes, said junior Rich Loudermilk. “We rebuilt a go-cart in welding and that was a lot of fun and we also made a habit of fixing whatever the other kids brought in. The industrial arts teachers, Mr. Nor- man Holmes, metals and woods; Mr. Arden Smith, drafting and graphic arts; and Mr. Dave Staples, auto shop, follow- ed their normal patterns as beginning carpenters tackled things with drawers and the graphic arts students learned how to operate a printing press. If you ' re talented enough, you can create whatever your mind creates, said Mr. Holmes. 1 116 CARVING a miniature totem poll, junior Sean Gaines uses only a knife to create his crafts project.

Computers figured out math problems and some difficult problems had to be answered with electronic assistance. At first, the school had only clunky manual typewriters and cumbersome ad- ding machines. In 1980 the first com- puters, Commodores, arrived. Then in 1984, the computer labs expanded to take in Apple computers. In that same year, computer courses were required of all freshmen. A new lab was added in 1 986 and computers became available to anyone who had need of a one. This steady progress helped considerably in the mad scramble of students trying to complete last-minute compositions. The only step left was to get an assignment machine that left students with no work ■ to do at all. ii The new books are easier to understand. — Jeff Sawaska | � FINISHING his assignment, freshman Dan Hotobawski works in his first-hour Algebra 1 class.

Residents adapt to ‘Limited’ lifestyle High tech home R hythmic tap-tapping could be heard on the lone typewriter that was left in the yearbook room. The others had been replaced by computers. Back in 1980, technology reached into the far corner of this room. Yet even that equipment had become obsolete. New software and IBM style computers became part of the new yearbook routine. Gone were copy sheets and accoun- ting ledgers. Instead, typesetting com- plete with advanced coding commands and electronic bookkeeping brought true state-of-the-art yearbooking. The horizon would bring electronic page design into the small township school. But to an average staffer, the room was more than four walls filled to the ceil- ing with technology. At deadline, nine or more hours might be spent checking, rechecking and printing history. As Dan Winn said whenever entering the room “I’m home.” The ’86 KEY , began the pay off as quality rose above all previous efforts. With a theme of ‘The Right Combina- tion,” The Key won National Scholastic Press Association All-American Honors, which placed the book in the top 5% of the country. It also earned a Columbia Medalist Award and placed fifth in “Best of Show” at the N.S.P.A National Con- vention in Chicago. At the Ball State University workshop, The ' 87 KEY won a theme development award. We competed against schools twice our size and budget to get this award. Out of 58 entries, we placed third. We’re pretty proud of this accomplish- ment,” said junior Doug Patchin, editor-in-chief. SHANE SZUTENBACH layout editor, designs the Academic section of the yearbook.

Under normal circumstances, this pro- blem would leave many girls and guys stumped. Independent living taught students unlimited skills in many areas. Housing prepare students for real life situations, ranging from mortgages to buying a house. Students learned what life out of school could be like. Housing taught students skills of buying a house and ail the elements to having a good home. Foods I students learned steps which in- cluded nutritional diet planning and food preparation. Foods II was a more ad- vanced course in the culinary arts. More specific techniques, such as working with yeast to candy making was the material learned. “I enjoy teaching Foods because it is something I am interested in, said Mrs. Ruth Eskilson. In Consumer Ed., as most students called it, Mrs. Ann Jarrett taught the basic concepts of economic management. In Child Development, I teach how children grow and develop physically, psychologically, socially, and emotionally by taking them on field trips to the hospital pediatric wards, said Mrs. Jean Kirk. Clotting I and II lets the students learn the fundamentals as well as the more sophisticated details of sewing when they make the more complex articles. CONSUMER EDUCATION IN MRS.

Fishy first aid “W hat more can there be than wanting your students to respect you and learn what you have to teach?” said Mr. Robert Krol, science instructor. “It’s all accor- ding to the attitude of the students; how much they learn. You can only teach a kid as much as he is willing to learn and that degree varies from year to year. “It has been challenging to try to teach physics while I was taking a college course in it myself,” said Mr. Krol. “We did a lot of dissection and, for me, that was pretty gross,” said Jim Robert- son, freshman. “Mr. Krol froze some of his own tropical fish for us and when we went to dissect them, the blood vessels had exploded. There were no organs. just blood red goop.” Even though it was too late to save the tropical fish, health students learned first aid in their classes because it was a valuable thing to learn and might come in handy later in life. “Health 1 gives a general overview of health and relating facts of a healthy lifestyle. The students also do demonstration speeches on the various aspects of first aid. Health 2 is a course that does an investigative study of careers and the employment oppor- tunities available in health. This class had special speakers who are now working in a health-related field who give insights to the students,” said Mrs. Bonnie Beamer.

Without their limitless contributions, it wouldn’t have been possible for the 1987 Key staff to create the best book in school history. On October 23, 1 986 the Key staff hit the streets, literally pounding the pavement. Feet stamped when an ad fell through, but struck the concrete in a gleeful jump when one was sold. From the unlikely Women of the Moose to the more usual Firestone Tires, ads were sold to reach a $5,000 minimum goal. Determination raised $5,589 and with this money and community support, the yearbook had no limitations. s % i .

However, for the Class of ’87, it meant freedom and great times. A whole bunch of us spent the night on Mr. Brindley’s front yard. He didn ' t know we were going to do it; it was a total shock to him. When he woke up the next morning there were about seven seniors on his lawn, demonstrating their craziness. I tell you, you haven ' t lived un- til you’ve seen Mr. Brindley in his bathrobe,” said Ellie Brockman. Following through with their casual hang-loose’’ motto, the graduating class stuck to their unpredictable precedent established about a week before the ceremony by tossing a beach ball around during the benediction at commencement. The seniors were very responsive to accomplishments that were made by different people, as they exclaimed ooh and ahh” and cheered loudly after each name was called. A SUPER HUG is given to the new graduate Mark Gruenhagen by his mom after he was given his diploma. ESCORTING each other on the final walk, Rick Sikma and Buffy Stigall get ready to receive their diplomas from Mr. Fetty. CLASS OF 37 SWAOOAT : I I M ENJOYING HIS last moments with his fellow seniors, Ed Kubiak says good bye to his High School days with the way he wants to graduate, with a tassel on his Mousketeer hat. GOING THROUGH the traditional tassel ceremony, the seniors of 1987 know that they have finally made it. OMDUBT I OK □LOSS OF PRESIDENT of the National Honor Society , Patty Kenning lead the Pledge of Allegiance before commencement CONVERSING AFTER receiving their diplomas, graduates Mark Gruenhagen and Johnny Willems plan attending a party after graduation. Were the seniors immature? No, not really. Well . . . Maybe a little The alleged immaturity was not as deep rooted as some teachers feared, since 80 percent of the seniors planned to attend college or the join the military. The impression of immaturity couldn’t eclipse all the good times, even though they were sometimes a little off-the-wall. Mr. Young, College Prep English teacher, felt that the ’87 class was the most “immature” he had ever dealt with. Valedictorian Danielle Stevens voiced revenge in her speech. “I hope the following class has as much immaturity as we did,” she said. “I am so happy to be out of school. I’ve waited for it all my life,” said Gretchen Stoll. “It’s really great. It seems like I have so much more freedom to do what I want now, instead of keeping set hours. Still, even though I know I’m on the verge of an exciting new life, there is a touch of sadness because things will never be the same. My class and all my friends, we’ll all separate and you can never go back to the good old days’.” All in all, the hang-loose,” casual way of life perfectly represented the class, its years in high school, and the final ceremony. GOING TO GET her signed diploma, Julie Zambo stops to shake Mr. Fetty ' s hand alter the graduation ceremony is over FINALLY TIME, Ted Jenkins receives his diploma while saying a lew last remarks to Mr. Fetty. SALUTATORIAN of her class, Jayme Bilbruck gives the traditional speech to her classmates and audience. BEACHBALL GRADUATION during the benediction, Coieen Werner threw a beach ball and the rest of the seniors joined in. F an participation wasn ' t the best at every game, but the Die-Hard Wildcat Fans as they were known to the team, attended every boys varsity baseball game. Maxed out M f arching the streets of Cedar Lake on May 9, the Marine Corps color guard presented the flags in honor of all veterans. T he latest edition of the school year reached its limit on June 1 2. That didn’t mean planning for the future was complete. As the year started coming to an end, seniors waited for their ‘‘Day of Deliverance,” which for them was June 7. Graduating 95% of the senior class, this was one of the biggest graduating classes in Hanover’s history and 75% moved on to some form of higher education. Cedar Lake and the surrounding community experienced many economic and historic changes over the course of the year. Losing two of it’s oldest landmarks, Cook Lounge and Midway Ballroom, the Hanover community suffered a great loss. Cedar Lake gained six new businesses, a 300% net increase, creating over 90 new jobs. In addition to the town complex, Cedar Lake redeveloped the public boat launch and included a miniature playground.

With a limited amount of time firefighters fought the early morning blaze for over six hours, but were unable to save the establishment. It was a total loss,” according to owner Brian Kubal. By the time police officers were on the scene, the building was engulfed in flames, according to Police Chief Jim Hunley. There was little that could be done to save this historical landmark. There was no known cause for the fire according to State Fire Marshal’s officer Brad Sandbert. He attempted to pinpoint the cause of the blaze which apparently started in the northeast corner of the building. Losing one community service was a great loss, but it was soon replaced by two others as Cedar Lake gained its own Burger King and the Grand Rapids Sash and Door Company.

Affecting Hanover more directly than all the other changes was the new superintendent, Mr. Robert L. Leturgez, who took office July 1 when Mr. Richard Dimitt retired. In the community, the Grand Rapids Sash and Door Company and Burger King were two of the business additions.
