On October 9 the squad defeated top-ranked Lake Central in the finals of the Pom Kick-Off” competition at Southlake Mall. “Beating Lake Central was the best feeling. Now Coach Darnell knows we are the best,” Penni added. F or decades Cedar Lake was known as one of the most popular lake re- sorts in Indiana. Wealthy vacationers built hundreds of small summer cottages. They enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding area with it’s great red cedar trees and swimming in the once-clear lake. Small business thrived. When the depression of the ’30s hit, summer residents left a legacy of neglected cabins and abandoned houses. Overbur- dened septic systems seeped into the lake and the natural beauty was lost. Times have changed again. People are cleaning up the area and are trying to preserve the history of Cedar Lake, restoring it to a pristine recreation com- munity with pride. Students and faculty members played a key role in the come- back, earning everything from national championships to PCC titles. Along with Cedar Lake, Hanover Central was clearly Back On The Map. At Valparaiso University on June 24, the Pom Cats captured the title of “National Champs” for the second consecutive year. Cross country runner Jason Storms qualified for the Junior Olympics in North Carolina. continued on page 4 •Opening Pages Back On The Map “Running with a broken arm was hard at times but Coach Fou ds put me on an upper-body weight program to strengthen my arms, said senior Scott Campbell.

First-year volleyball coach Mike Staup did something no one else could do in the past five years. He took the boy’s varsity team to a .500 season and a third place finish in the State Tourney at Hebron. Meanwhile, the girl’s varsity volleyball team retained their PCC tourney title by defeating Kouts in the finals, 13-15, 15-7, 15 -2. In choir, Brian Freeman re- ceived a perfect score of 7 on his solo performance in Indianap- olis. The Lady Wildcats finished the varsity basketball season with a 18-3 record, sharing the conference championship with Kouts. At 17-1, the girls junior var- sity basketball team finished the season with the best record ever. Students and faculty from “Operation Snowball, a group designed to help teens with their problems, brought back “Operation Snowflake” to help junior high students cope. Led by Mr. Robert Krol, Hanover was the first school in the state to do this. jtf Opening_Pag.es B ick On The A fap “I’ve been in swing choir for rhree years and every year find it more challenging, said Brian Freeman.

Those places are gone now, but there’s still plenty to do. Beyond hanging-out at the new “Fat Al- berts arcade or pigging-out at the new Burger King, student lives have taken new directions. Lost in heavy academic loads, students searched for part-time jobs from bagging at Wilco to boat- herding at a lakeshore harbor. Others oriented toward community service. Emergency Medical Training at Broadway Meth- odist Hospital or duty with the Civil Defense Squad offered contemporary challenges. These local interests only encompassed the nor- mal aspects of growing up. Afterall, there was still enough boating, skiing, hunting, snowmobiling, and partying to put any lifestyle Back On The Map. “Get Trashed the Segue lira the best djnee Vc gone to. sttid junior I I ally A t .

In spite of haphazard organization, Student Council sponsored the Fall teacher luncheon, the Get Trashed II dance, and the ever-popular Spirit Games with the added feature o f a “No- Talent” Talent Show. “The kids needed something funny and laughable,” said Mr. Krol, “We might even do it next year because of it’s popularity.” Another popular event was the Christmas movie, which gave an added dimension to It Came From Outer Space” in 3-D. The special occasion of the Homecoming Dance, sponsored by Student Council, became just one of the many happenings of Spirit Week.

HONOR SOCIETY ABOR FORCE rganized labor in the form of the National Honor Society found the number of girls still dominant even though more boys did ‘make the grade.’ “There aren’t too many boys with the academic strength to qualify for the leadership and honor that the organ- ization and myself expect,” said Mr. Jack Granger, sponsor. With ample time between meetings, the honored members kept themselves busy with activities such as the food drive in the Fall, “Someone You Should Know,” and not to mention daily home- work. “It’s pretty tough trying to keep your grades up when you’re as busy as I am,” said Heather Beck, president. “Mr. Granger keeps tabs on us each semester to make sure our grade point averages are at a stable 3.5.” Inducted seniors escaped this qual- ification because they were members only for only one semester. Juniors had a little advantage because they had time to adjust to the activities of the club. The group moved outside in Spring to landscape the courtyard in serving as both an initiation and beautification process. “All of the members have been cho- sen for their involvement in sports, clubs, and the community,” Mr. Grang- er said, “and their involvement will hopefully expand their futures.” N.H.S.

The Spring Spectacular presented by the members of the Swing Choir stirred the more than appreciative crowd with the movements that gave the production a sparkle equal to the seven previous years of Spec, filled with enchantment and choreographed effort. “This year was kind of special be- cause it went so fast,” said Heather Boh- len, “but during that time we were all working our hardest.” Aside from Swing Choir, the concert choir proved their effort by snatching a first place in the state contest. They also pleased audiences for the Fall and Christmas concerts. of the two,” said Miss Beard, “but that doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the good performers are in Swing Choir.” Good performers captured the whole meaning of Spectacular when the seni- ors cried their way through “A Special Place”. “I was still crying after the finale,” said senior Penni Canner. The crowd responded with applause for the tears, effort, and the performers themselves. The performers turned the tide to ap- plaud their director, Miss Beard, as she emerged from the mist of the fog ma- chine to a standing ovation, which has become a well-deserved tradition.

ONCRETE PLANS iven a room full of art supplies and many hours of time, the members of the Art Club left the play dough in their past, with sculpture the major em- phasis. Select members assisted the crafts class to design a special mosaic project. The artwork symbolized effort and teamwork in sports, but the artists dis- covered it took a similar effort and teamwork to complete the work. Teamwork continued when a raffle was held to determine which artist would have his piece selected for in- clusion in the sculpture park. “Each year we choose a piece to place in the sculpture park because of it’s de- sign and ability to catch the eye,” said Mr. Louis Greer, sponsor, “This year Eric Goff was selected.” Due to the enormous amount of work in placing the concrete on Eric’s sculp- ture, the project cannot be placed until Fall. “I’m not too bothered by the sculp- ture not going in this year, Eric said, “I’m just happy that it is getting out there.” With three sculptures already placed, the limit for the park was set at either six or seven sculptures . which gives the Art Club at least two or three years to fill the park. “Survival of this very organization re- quires a lot of effort from everybody,” Mr. Greer said, “but, other clubs have activities and it’s so hard to squeeze the work out of everybody.” Whether it’s squeezing sculptures in- to the park or dues out of it’s members. Art Club has enriched the school with it’s anesthetics. Art Club Back On The Map Art Club A Steady Hand ART CLUB Front: Maiko Nezu.

Once at their destination, the club vis- ited their re-adopted snow leopard and polar bear, named “Arki.” Another adventure sent the club and sic physics knowledge. The group devised letters and peti- tions to legislatures to stop the cruel importation ethics of animals. The organization sponsored the Spring teacher’s luncheon. “It’s an end of the year ’thank-you’ to the teachers,” said President Steve Varga.

OTABLE SIGHT j r nductinn into Thespian Troupe 1852 Embarrassing costumes draped the inductees as they performed skits on an amateur scale at the annual Thespian banquet. Aside from small events like the ban- quet, were two big productions: “Arsenic and Old Lace” and “Oklahoma!” Two nighttime shows were staged, plus a special matinee for the junior high. “The matinee is difficult for all of the kids, but it’s good for the cast,” said Mr. Gary Young, sponsor. “Dress rehearsal is a scary time in itself.” Fearing dress rehearsal was quite common because it was the last time to delete all of the bugs that could destroy a perfectly presentable production. The Spring production moved down South to turn out the western-style mu- sical “Oklahoma!” With two veteran thespians in the lead roles, Tom Camp- was not a thing of beauty. bell as Curly and Cheryl Swiecki as Laurey, the show spotlighted dancing, fighting, romance, and yes, singing from all. “I was so nervous when I had to sing alone,” said senior Carolyn Xanders. “Jim Robertson gave an excellent per- formance in his role of Ali Hakum,” said Mr. Young. Jim excelled with an accent that would have given true foreigners fits of swearing in their native tongues. Swearing that another play did take place during the year, the Fall produc- tion of “Arsenic and Old Lace” was like a refresher course for some, because it was done in the summer. Once productions were complete, the Thespian organization could say, quite literally, “We had an extremely produc- tive year.” Thespians Play Ir Again FORCED VENGENCE Jud (Scott Campbell) shows his anger at Laurey (Margo Willy) because she wants to marry the dash- ing Curly in the dream scene.

Dropping 52 pounds and several inches, Mr. Arden Smith lightened the wallets of all the other losers. From class president to Science Club member, SuperSoph Tom Cubit was an essential component of just about every club and organization. Although these and other individuals followed outward directions on t he Hanover map, its starting point was a capital that began with “I”. “In Japan the dances aren ' t J as wild because the chaperones are , always watching you.” said Maiko ) N ' ezo. “Morp was the best dance ' ) they had all school year because z everyone had a good time and 0 didn’t care what happened. “I la ving the gym decorating contest wasn ' t that bad.” said Julie Weightman, senior.

A number of factors come into play: the temperature, the wind chill, drifts, depth of snow, the prolonged forecast, and the possibility of roads closing in the decision of giving a snow day,” said Mr. Robert Leturgez, new superintendent. “In the area where we live, it’s more than likely that we won ' t have snow days. We may set up a snow route for the kids, but we’ll probably be open every day.” Education, however, was the prima- ry goal of the superintendent. I’m a little old-fashioned. I’m look- ing at it from the side of the prospec- tive employer,” said Mr. Leturgez. “Normally I ' d support policies of dress code, we are here to give the youngsters an education, not to cater to the distractions that might come about through the wearing of earrings, bandannas and the like. We aim to minimize distractions, and keep to a high level of education. The best ex- ample I can give of this is a school in New England, whose parents recently voted to put their kids back in uni- forms. This allows them to concen- trate more on schoolwork and less on fashion.” The superintendent kept conserva- tive views, but still kept student rights in mind. “Lockers are owned by the school — students pay to use them. So, tech- nically, we have the right to open and examine our property,” said Mr. Leturgez. The question remains and has arisen before, ‘do we have the right to examine students’ belong- ings?’ With probable cause, we should do so for several reasons. For sanitary purposes; some kids keep re- ally messy lockers; there’s no telling what might be in there. I also might look into a locker to judge if it’s time for a clean-out. The student does not have the right to bring contraband to school like drugs and alcohol. As far as indiscriminate searching goes, I don’t think that should happen and I won’t let it.” Mr. Leturgez was primarily con- cerned with the well-being of the stu- dent. The student is the most im- portant part of the school and educating the child the primary goal. My contribution to the excellence of this education to uphold the standards now established. “I was very impressed with the number of students that went into sec- ondary education; 83 is a very good percentage. This is a great compli- ment to the teachers. It shows that they do their job well and are con- scientious about instilling the best foundation possible. We can still im- prove on excellence, but it ' s bad busi- ness to rush into anything and im- mediately begin making changes. My first priority is to observe the way things are run. I will study what is being done, the successes and fail- ures, and how to improve things, he concluded. s ECONI) IN COMMAND Although an infrequent occurrence, Mrs. Ju- dith Stoll, school board vice president, con- ducts business if Mr. Tortorici is unable to attend a meeting.

Originally from Minnesota, Mrs. Halvorson attended the University of Minnesota, majoring in French. Later, Mrs. Halvorson taught French at an extremely large junior high. “Can you imagine being busy all day long teaching French to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders?” she asked. She had hobbies, too. I love to hike. My husband and I do a lot of it on vacations. We get out the backpacks and go up and down mountains. “I was teaching things like swim- ming and girls scouts before I even entered college. It seemed natural to get paid for something I already en- joyed.” She taught conversational French to kids in Crown Point. “I loved teach- ing the younger kids. We sang songs and played games to learn ...” Looking around the room, laughing and a little embarrassed, she admit- ted, “We sing in here, too, but very softly and with the door closed.” ”1 can ' t just dump material on stu- dents, but I always try to give them something to think about,” Mrs. Halvorson concluded. “Teaching is rewarding.

One Studebaker won first place in the Na- tional Studebaker Hill Climb. It still holds the record. The reason I bought the Mercury is that I had the same type of car in high school, Bill admitted.

But his numbers were something spe- cial for any runner in his first year on a high school team. It was different than junior high cross country. There were longer distances to run and there were older people to run against; more competition,” Storms said. Jason definitely took the team by storm, finishing in the top 10 of every meet. “At the beginning of the season, I had a couple of goals in mind. I wanted to run my distance in 17 minutes and I also wanted to make All-Conference. I met both those goals, he continued. He far surpassed them. “In the qualifying meet for regionals at Indianapolis, I placed sixth. I did qualify, so I went on. At regionals in Chesterton I was seventh. I qualified again there, so I went to Nationals in North Carolina. There I placed 39th out of 251 with a time of 13:36. “But what felt really great was beating some upperclassmen,” Jason added. Freshmen are just as good. “I got interested in running, I guess, from my other friends (Jamie Claus, Craig York, Matt Stasko). They ran, so I did too,” Jason said. Of my friends, I would have to say that Sam Goff influ- enced me the most. He was a really good runner; he always helped and encour- aged me. In junior high, Coach Dale Gurgel took us to the Junior Olympics to run as a team. I did well as an independent, so I decided to run again,” Jason remem- bered. Maybe you should ask Coach Foulds if you want to know anything else. He probably knows more about me than I do.” Jason is a very talented individual, said Cross Country Coach Steve Foulds.

I like meeting new people and sharing in the school spirit.” “The reason I joined Pom Pons is that I enjoy performing in front of crowds,” said Erica Wilson. It’s a challenge being part of such a winning team. I was nervous when I first start- ed doing the routines, but now that I’m used to it, I don’t feel that way any- more. I just go out and have fun.” From cheering in sports to playing sports, freshmen had a place that was distinctly their own. It was such a big change from playing freshmen to junior varsity; you gain a lot of experience. It took a while to get accepted by the upperclass- men, but they soon become accus- tomed to you,” said Mike Torrence. Many people don ' t like me playing JV ball, especially if I play a little more than them. The JV games are a lot harder because there is more com- petition.

Formality was left at the door; people relaxed, and commanded, Let the games begin. The games included lip-sync and limbo contests. The lip-sync contest, with only three entries, featured seniors Dawn Pickett, Julie Weightman, Scott Camp- bell, and Chip Stenger lip-syncing to the “Big Butts. With heavy caboose pad- ding that popped in midair, the “Big Butts” bumped their way to first place by only three votes. The second-place winner was soph- omore Tom Cubit who gyrated with a rendition of Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock. About 10 of my friends said they didn ' t even vote,” commented Tom. I’d like to say ’thanks’.” The third place participants were also sophomores, Jessica Sasseville and Crissy Eaton.

They decided to raise enough money so they wouldn’t have to jack up ticket prices. People then would be able to afford the tickets more easily and probably have more fun. “The purpose of all our fundraisers is to pay for our Prom so that the ticket prices will be similar to those of a normal dance,” said Tom Cubit, prom committee chairman. It was original ideas like these that led the spirited sophomores to capture the Spirit Jug. They had three entries in the No-Talent Talent Show where the purpose was not so much to be good, but to be willing. There were many willing people per- forming to “Splish Splash, (Tom Cubit and Jason Jansen) My Boyfriend’s Back,” (April Keiser, Bette Walker) and Crazy On You,” (Cindi Slusher, Lori Canner). “I thought it was a lot of fun but it didn’t come off exactly as we first hoped,’’ said Cindi Slusher. “I meant to throw Chris Brown’s coat on the floor.” ”1 really enjoyed getting our act to- gether, said Bette Walker. I just thought it would be fun to lip-sync for the contest, so we decided to use ' My Boy- friend ' s Back’ because we all had fifties costumes.” SOPHOMORES Christine Johnson Shannon Johnson Victoria Jones Michelle Kabelis Carrie Kaufman April Reiser Anthony Kenning Donna King David Kouder Tricia Kretz Julie Kubiak Amy Lackey Phil Larsen Brian LaTulip Sue LaVelle Debbie Martin Denise Mickey Billy Missal Kevin Morris Brian Muscari Maiko Nezu Allison Ortegon Chris Ortell Shelly Palmer Kevin Paquette Debbie Parat Brian Peters Wes Pilken Heather Pralle Tony Rastall Kim Reed Frank Roberts Jim Robertson Jennifer Ross Noel Russell CLASS OF ’90 OPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Front: Jenny Baran, treasurer; Tom Cubit, activities chair- man; and Debbie Martin, secretary.

It’s hard to find time to get eve- rything done. However, if I make a com- mittment to an organization, or even tell someone I will do something, I will see that it is finished to the absolute best of my ability,” Tom said. His numerous extracurricular activities left him little time for recreation or even sleep. Many nights would see him burn- ing the midnight oil to polish a paper, speech, essay or itinerary for some or- ganization beyond the “rough” form. Tom ' s main virtue is that he really cares,” said Student Council sponsor Mr. Robert Krol. “You can tell that he isn’t involved just to have a huge list under the Senior Stats. He is concerned about his activities and does his best for them. The fact that he does care makes him different from other people.” Tom’s knack for organizing things found him in a position of responsibility in many organizations. He started as Homecoming Committee Chairperson and wound up as President of Student Council; the first sophomore ever to be elected to this office. Tra- ditionally it had belonged to seniors. He also held office for his class as Activities Chairman. He was Science Captain of the Ac- ademic Team and Lighting Director for performances by Thespians and Swing Choir. He was selected to be a 6th Grade Camp Counselor as a freshman, which is very rare. Also involving the little people, he gave a presentation for the 6th grade on Aeronautics and Space annually.

I have been thinking of designing a toy,” Tim said. My nephews are big fans of G. I. Joe . They were over and they helped me design it. “When I get older I want to design toys for a big toy company like Hasbro or Mattel and I figured that Scorpion would be a good start for my career, he noted. Although his nephews helped in the idea of the toy, Tim conceived its design while visting a pet store where he saw a scorpion devouring its prey. “When I saw how the scorpion de- stroyed it’s victim, I felt that this would be a good idea for the toy,” said Tim. After weeks of waiting, Tim finally re- ceived a copyright for the toy and a week later sent a color printout to Hasbro in hopes of selling the design and launching a new-found career. However, Tim was notified that Hasbro is not permitted to use unsolicited toy designs. The company has provided Tim with information on selling his designs in the future. That’s good because Tim already has plans for his next toy. The design is still in the planning stages, but Tim concluded, This time the toy will have broader mar- ket appeal. If one company can’t use it, I’ll find one that can.” JUNIORS James Ahrendt Jason Anderson Mike Bakker Wendy Beamer CLASS OF ' 89 CLASS OF 89 First-time inventor, Tim Holt, junior, uses an Apple II GS computer to design his newly-developed toy. “Scorpion .

Rewards of more than an agricultural nature were harvested in the area a.k.a. ‘cow country. ' Eleven juniors reaped these rewards when they were inducted into the Na- tional Honor Society, having attained the required 3.5 grade-point average. Another reward given for leadership and academic achievement was the nom- ination for Girls State and Boys State. Girls State Delegates included Janice Xanders, and Dawn Zezule, and alter- nates Carolyn Huseman and Vicki Vanco. Boys State Delegates were Gray Sas- seville, Steve Varga, Derek Viehman and alternate Dan Kouder. “I think it is a honor being chosen by the faculty to go to Boys State. I am looking forward to going,” said Derek Viehman. I feel honored and privileged being selected for Boys State,” Steve Varga said. It has provided encouraging mo- tivation.” Another junior was honored for her hard work and dedication in athletics. Kelly Kopack won all-conference honors in volleyball and basketball. She was also named to the Honorable Mention All- State team, and all-area basketball team spnsored by the local media. “I hope that I can continue to receive the awards and continue to improve,” Kelly said. I want to get a good college scholarship.” It surely beats detassling corn. CLASS OF 89 UNIOK OFFICERS Front Derek Skievaski, vice presi- dent; and Derek Viehman, treasurer.

N THE BLACK G ummi Bear sales from previous years built a substantial nest egg, but juniors moved up to the more prof- itable cheese and sausage sales to help offset a $4,000 prom tab. A sharp (as in Cheddar) profit of $2,000 easily covered the juniors’ costs at the Sherwood Club in Schererville. A balance of $1 ,300 remained to cover future class expenses. The prom committee, consisting of the class officers and eight other juniors, met every month after school and at lunch. “First we had to pick out a theme,” vice president Derek Skievaski said. “I suggested One More Night’. Prom only lasts one night, but everyone always wishes it would go on.’’ A shift from tradition found the dance on a Friday instead of Saturday. Poor school attendance on Monday following prom prompted the move. Prom wasn’t hurt, however, as nearly 200 people at- tended. “It’s okay to have prom on a Friday night, but we should be able to get out a half a day to get ready,’’ said junior Laura Kellerman. After years of scraping money togeth- er, the financial worries were finally over. The next time it would be the Class of 1989’s turn to be chauferred.

She also was awarded the Poise and Appearance award. w IZARDLY TALENT Junior Miss contestant Cindi Sparr dances to The Wiz ' for her talent routine of the evening. I n a full auditorium on Novem- ber 18, Senator Sue Landske announced the names of the 13 senior girls who vied for the title of Cedar Lake’s 1988 Junior Miss. “Headed for the Future was the theme in accordance with the 200th anniversary of the Constitution. The stage was decorated in red, white, and blue balloons. Winning the Spirit of Junior Miss showed me to always keep your spirit and faith high and never let it drop because smiling is contagious, Penni Canner said. “ Spirit of Junior Miss was more than an award for me be- cause it was chosen by the oth- er girls and not by judges who have only seen you on stage. Thank you very much for the award everyone! I love you! Jun- ior Miss ' 88 will live in me for- ever.” With a grade-point-average of 4.2, Millie Willy won the Scho- lastic Achievement award. Karen Bainbridge, dressed in a white formal gown, received the Poise and Appearance award. With the stage decorated with red heart balloons attached to white fluffy clouds, Cheryl Swiecki’s original song dance routine, including her own poem called Chasing Your Heart,” won her the Creative and Per- forming Arts award. She also won the Youth Fitness award, dancing to “Headed for The Fu- ture,” Breaking Out, and “Coming to America.” The countdown to the title be- gan when Sen. Landske an- nounced Karen Bainbridge as second runner-up and Shannon Davis as first runner-up. Finally, the moment came when Patti Schuring, first runner-up from 1987, delivered the envelope that was to announce Cedar Lake ' s 1988 Junior Miss. Its message declared Miss Cheryl Swiecki would reign as the win- ner. “Being named Junior Miss was great, Cheryl said. “I was really excited. I wanted to go to state right then. Everyone went out just to have fun.” Junior Miss Back On The Map F LOWERS IN HAND Shannon Davis shows great poise to match her appearance in capturing the judges scoring as first runner-up.

SENIORS Ericka Kallies Steve Kil Scott Kopaczewski Jeff Koszut CLASS OF 88 MAKING A ONE NIGHT STAND REPED OUT W aving Ivanhoe books like banners, seniors could be spotted a mile away. “Ivanhoe was the worst part of the year, reflected Martha Willy, “When you ' re involved in extracurricular activ- ities and your teacher makes four as- signments that you ' re supposed to get done somehow, it isn ' t easy. It ' s not very cool to stay up all night writing about the literary value of Ivanhoe when I didn ' t even read it. Hundreds of 164 questions were an- swered in one night. A few weeks after this circle-under-the-eye marathon, four papers were written and typed in a single night. Lamps and typewriters both bla zed furiously; seniors competed for the longest usage of each. Black coffee, strong enough to choke a horse perked all night and anyone un- fortunate enough to be at Wilco in Cedar Lake at 3 a.m. seeking No Doze was greeted by rows of barren shelves. All nighters, which had been reserved for special occasions like lock-ins and slumber parties, became the rule rather than the exception. The Night of the Living Dead en- volved into The Day of the Living Dead as darkly circled eyes, pale faces, and barely matching clothes became all the rage in the senior class. However, the very thing that threat- ened to send the seniors running amuck eventually rescued them. Sanity was sal- vaged as seniors banded together in Study Support Groups” and struggled with the grueling Ivanhoe. . . . Four people gather around a table. They are bent over a sea of hastily scrib- bled and crossed-out notes. One leans over to ask a question. Another begins the long slide into the land of Nod. A companion notices and gives a poke. Eyes shoot wide open and a cup of cof- fee is poured down a throat. High fives ensue when a question is answered suc- cessfully.

CLASS OF 88 A CONTINUED FROM PAGE 67 A LL NIGHT The life of a study party: sometimes laughing, eating or pounding a frustrated fist. But mostly, it was just keeping each other awake. Then dawn came and the light at the end of the tunnel shined through. The last bleary-eyed senior turned in the final trace of Ivanhoe. But the torture served a purpose; it gave seniors a common bond. “It was a massive load of work, but surprisingly enough, it was almost fun,’’ said Jeff Koszut. “Those of us who banded together to get it done in one night really had a blast. At times we were almost nuts.” “I think there was a valuable lesson in this,”, said Loretta Kujawa. “All that work should have been spread out, but we all put it off. So, we were buried at the end. I think this really does get us ready for college. You either learn to budget your time or you die.’’ Seniors AH Night Long KEYPOIHTS Special Points of Human Interest The geography of cur- rent events affecting stu- dents knows no bounds. Not all bits of human in- terest fit in with the stan- dard coverage of student life, sports, or academics. But that didn ' t mean they weren’t Key Points. Contrasting the emo- tional agony of Olympic speed-skater Dan Jansen was the frivolity of winter parking in the student lot. Both required courage. Stock market instability juxtaposed with reaffirma- tion of a solid U.S. Con- stitution on its 200th birth- day. While time stood still during a New Year’s “leap second,” it flashed past those who were once “in,” but suddenly found themselves “out.” The spotlight never glared very long. Last week’s faces and places were next week’s history. The compass always pointed in the direction of newer names, spicer scanoals, and angrier cor- ners of the world. Still, a small community and small school stood out to become one of it’s own KeyPoints. A SUNNY OUTLOOK Through the trees that testify it is winter, the sun reflects off the lake that is the namesake of the town.

Key Po ints Bact On Ttu A f tp Timekeepers leap into new year Wait a second! By international agreement, timekeepers all over the world, in order to keep their atomic clocks in step with Earth’s gradually slowing rotation, decid- ed to add a “Leap Second be- tween 1987 and 1988. At 1 1 :59.60 on New Year’s Eve there was a one-second void be- fore the arrival of 12:00 a.m. New Year’s Day and people all over the world experienced a strange moment between the years. “If we didn’t do this sort of thing, the two time scales (solar and atomic) would be out of sync,” said Dennis McCarthy of the U.S. Naval Observatory. One second isn’t a lot of time but the federal government spends $34,000, the earth ro- tates a fifth of a mile, and a super computer can do a billion com- putations in that brief moment. k JANUARY 16th Miss Indiana Drill Team champs, the national champion Pom Cats performed to Yankee Doodle in winning three first-place trophies.

Mini-Mag Time Is On Our Side Crash echoes ’30s Black Tuesday Hurtling downward like a roller coaster and ap- pearing that it would take the bright boys of Wall Street with it, a crash similar to the one in the 1930’s seemed inevitable. “It wouldn’t have affected me personally because I don ' t own any stocks, but it would have affected the overall economy, said Miss Ann Thompson, gov- ernment and economics teacher. “When the market went down, people saw the $5,000 they had invested turn into $2,000 and they panicked, beginning to sell and drive the market down even further. As it plunged, people didn’t re- alize that the market would eventually bottom out and come back up naturally. “With all the selling, it was worse than Black Tuesday in 1929. So this time, stock exchanges around the world were closed to slow trading,” Miss Thompson added. Another teacher was affected by the crisis, but not wiped out. “It would have mattered but only to a certain degree. Not all my finances are tied up in stock. Naturally, they are diversified in other areas,” said Mr. Mike Staup, business teacher. Once the market stabilized, Mr. Staup reinforced his belief in the system by leading a class project where he set up a sort of mutual fund (a pooling of resources to invest money in certain stocks). “We got our information from a broker with Dean Witter. From all our data, Sunshine Mines and Navis- tar seemed to be the best bet. So we went with it,” Mr. Staup said. “The students who wanted to put in about $10 each and we made about $2.50 per ten ($36 in all). “I bought stock with Mr. Staup because I needed the money. I expect a rather nice return; at least $2.00 per share,” said junior Jeff Morgan. “We’re almost there now.” NATI®NAL mmm IEWP0INTS Crushed and fulfilled by stark reality The Olympics means more than hours of training, pain and tears; it also means people helping people. The human drama involves ath- letes and spectators alike. The town of Marion, Indiana, raised over $33,000 to send their hometown stars, the Sebolds, into the pair ice skating competition at Calgary. They didn ' t win a medal, but the town was still very proud. But Olympic dreams can be shat- tered, too. World champion speed skater Dan Jansen learned that his sister died of leukemia on his first morning of competition. Half-way through the first turn in the 500- meter race and at world-record pace, he fell. Unbelievably, he slipped again in the 1,000-meter event, his only other event. Figure skater Debbie Thomas ' dream was lost, too. After the school figures and short program, Debbie was in first place. A two- foot landing and a fall in the free skating program, however, took it’s mental toll and dropped her into third for the bronze medal. As she skated off the ice she stoically said, Now, I can get on with my life.” Alpine skier Pam Fletcher, Amer- ica’s best hope for a skiing medal, collided with a volunteer course worker and broke her right leg at the end of a training run. She never even had the chance to compete. This is not to say that many dreams were left unfulfilled. Bonnie Blair, a speed skater from Belle- ville, Illinois, was the only American athlete to win more than one med- al. She won a gold in the 500 meter by :02 of a second, and a bronze in the 1 ,000 meter race. “The battle of the Brian’s,” fea- tured Brian Boitano of the United States (Continued on Page 75) Do you think the death of Dan Jansen’s sister affect- ed his performance in the Olympics? “I feel the death of his sister definitely affected his perfor- mance because he and his sister were so close. ’’ Jim Robertson, sophomore Key Points Back On The Map The great debate “Jefferson” and “Hamilton” return Mr. Greg Whitacre and Mr. John Brindley contrasted the pros and cons from the time of Alexander Hamilton, a violent Federalist, and young Thomas Jefferson, a pas- sionate young Anti-Federalist, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Constitution. Narrator Ann Thompson attempted to keep the tem- pestuous “Hamilton” (Mr. Whitacre) and Jefferson” (Mr. Brindley) on track. “Jefferson fired that the Constitution would limit the freedom of the states and thusly encourage the birth of a monarchy or dictatorship.

Trouble made a personal appearance when anti- Castro protestors invaded the Cuban boxing matches; members of the Cuban team entered the stands swing- ing. Events teemed with expectations and brutal com- petition; the United States captured 369 medals despite defeats in boxing, baseball, and basketball. The other dominant medalist countries were Cuba, 146, and Can- ada 145. The closing ceremony held in the Hoosier Dome, the city of Indianapolis waved good-bye to the controversy of championship competition.

CRACKDOWN Indiana Laws Get Tough On DWI Drinking, since the discovery of the fermentation process, has sym- bolized good times with friends, and a bit of insurance that people will remember a party through a fond haze, as having had a “good’’ time. But it is the process of getting home safely that has become the biggest controversy over recent years. It is the classic situation to see a drunken individual stagger out into the street, push away any con- cerned friends and slur, “I can han- dle it. I ' m perfeshly so-o-o-blur. So changing laws have to follow changing times, when cars have killed more people than any atomic bomb. Now any person providing alcohol to a person is not liable. However, if the person serving drinks is aware that the other was intoxicated and serves the bever- age to him anyway, he can be held responsible for an accident that may (and probably will) occur. Another law says that if a person is too drunk to drive, but decides to allow an intoxicated friend to drive, or if he leaves a drunken friend in the car and he drives it; that first person is responsible in both cases. Teens are reminded to keep in mind that a record of a felony drunk driving on their record can prevent them from entering some colleges and professions, in addition to the stiff fines and sentences that come from being caught joy-riding. Roadblocks carried out in a uni- form and neutral manner were up- held as acceptable eliminators of this highway hazard. The best advice to avoid the crack down is to always designate a driver who will not drink that eve- ning; it ' s the easier way to save some money and a driver ' s license; in some cases it might even save a life. INSTANT TRAGEDY Accidents such as this have been on the decline since the state adopted stronger drunk driving laws. Photo courtesy of the Indiana State Police. Key Points Back On The Map Warning: Testing Area In a new year with new rules to apply for both rookie and old hat students alike, new education procedures took their place in line. On March 1 1 a new program, l-STEP testing went into effect because Indiana test scores had gone down; it was a measure to insure the competent literacy of it’s students. A senior could be easily determined in the crowd during the week of the l-STEP testing. Seniors merely smirked and said, ‘‘Oh, too bad! I ' ll never have to take those tests,” while other classes grumbled about the sense of making up words to represent old ones (like squirmer was a door); the students were expected to re- tain the newly invented language. The freshmen and juniors were the lucky high school classes to take the test. The sophomores couldn ' t be quite as smug as the seniors because the soph- omores knew that they would be taking the tests eventually. They were invading the yearly routine. More than one junior high kid was heard to say as they wandered out of the cafeteria, ‘‘They always try everything out on us.” Cash vs. class THE MONEY S GREAT IF YOU HAVE THE TIME Jobs or school? Scholarships can help, but some students must work now if they want to attend college. The lucky find summer jobs that turn into year-round employment. Some simply can’t work by an em- ployer ' s schedule. “I have a heavy schedule with classes, volleyball, track and year- book, said senior Doug Patchin. “I work when I can on weekends.” “With a job, it’s hard to commit yourself to any afterschool activity because you don ' t know when you will have to work, Doug added. “Your grades won ' t be as good because you are working too late to do your homework.” While the usual student job pays minimum wage, some students, like Sam and Eric Goff are learning trades such as drywalling or print- ing. Because the pay is good, col- lege can be an option instead of a goal. At any rate, with more business- es opening in Cedar Lake, more students have been able to find work. That’s good news for eve- ryone except those grandchildren who will have to hear, “When I was a kid we had to ... ” SWING SHIFT Leeann Hicks works various shifts at the local Wilco Supermarket as a cashier.

To a small person, it’s fences loomed large and imposing. Though none were seen, invisible “Keep Out” signs seem implied. Then, years later, the Monastery didn ' t seem quite so intimidating. The open gate invited people to view it’s beauty. A voice echoed in the silence. Let’s go down to the pond. Tramping through damp leaves and squishing mud to reach it, a slight sense of quilt invaded; like something sacred was being disturbed. Into the Monastery ' s heary the early morning sun blazed through wispy clouds and reflected off a thin, glittering sheet of ice sealing the pond ' s surface. A halo of glowing pink and orange from the recent sunrise circled the tranquility of the kneeling statues in the center of the water. With thin fingers, the barren trees stretched toward a pearly, luminescent sky. But the grounds were not always just so. This was once a booming resort hotel and Link-Einsele Club- house, where 18 holes of golf, a steak dinner, and a room for two could be purchased for $3.50. Plate lunches cost 50 cents, steak dinners ranged from 75 cents to $1 and a half a spring chicken dinner was only $1 . Rooms without a bath were $2 per couple. The highest price ever charged for a day of golf (on holidays) was $1 . This, of course, was not recent; it was in 1926. In 1936 it became a retreat for Franciscan Monks. Here was a bit of magic where a perfect marriage of beauty and practicality could exist. Here was a bit of history in the backyard. BACK Am Recreation remains; keys re-creation From a melting glacier and burgeoning Red Cedar trees, Cedar Lake was put on the map. Officially, a government land survey in 1896 was the first to give Cedar Lake it ' s historical name. In 1 896 there were 22 cottages, two hotels, and four ice houses. By 1900 the Monon Railroad came to the area and transported people from many cities. The city grew to approxomately 6,100 people by 1948. It boast- ed one boat storage and repair shop, 17 grocery stores, 20 taverns, two lumber yards, two hardware stores, three garages, and an airstrip where the high school now stands. Also, there were two year-round hotels, three summer hotels, four churches, and two schools. Due to rapid growth of the town, the lake, averaging just 6-8 feet deep, became polluted and recreational use dropped accordingly. When the Great Depression hit, many vacation cottages were abandoned. From 1948 to 1969, several attempts were made to incorporate the town. All failed. Although many citizens such as Dr. Robert King donated time and money to the project, incorportaion of the town didn’t succeed until September 29, 1969, when the Indiana Supreme Court upheld the incorporation. Since that time Cedar Lake has grown to a population of approximately 9,100 citizens. Although the airstrip is gone, the town is still a recreational mecca to thousands of people for the fishing, swimming, boating, or, of course, the Red Cedars.

ON LINE The popular party line caused a big controversy because teens were amounting huge phone bills up to thousands of dollars monthly. U.S. bans 3-wheelers Sales of three-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), popular in Cedar Lake, were banned by the Justice Department and the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Jan- uary. Four-wheel models are not affected. We think this agreement goes a long way toward informing the pub- lic, Deputy Attorney General Ar- nold Burns told USA Today. ATVs have caused over 800 deaths, 44 percent of them chil- dren, and 271 ,00 injuries in the last five years. Two-thirds of the 2.3 million ATVs in use are three- wheelers. The law requires ATV makers to notify all past customers of pos- sible risks, post warnings at dealer- ships, and list risks in owners man- uals. They must also offer free hands-on training to new custom- ers and those who bought vehicles within the past year. NO MORE ® The sale of new three- wheeled vehicles has been prohibted since Jan 1, 1988, but the use of the vehicles is still allowed.

The team leaders were seniors Sam Goff and Scott Campbell. Recovering from an injury (a broken arm) this past summer, Scott really worked hard and inspired the under- classmen by being a good ex- ample,” the coach said. He has improved every meet; if the season could be extended, he would have his time down to last year’s pace. At the (PCC) meet Eric Goff had an impressive show- ing,” Coach Foulds continued. “He ran a great meet, picking up three unexpected places, but if Sam and Scott hadn’t come through in the end, we would have finished fourth in- stead of third. One of the most consistent runners was freshman Jason Storms,” Mr. Foulds said. “It’s hard making the change from running two to three miles, but he adjusted really well. Sam Goff added, I have to give a lot of credit to Jason. He had a lot to do with the suc- cess of out team. Jason ' s 5th-place and Sam’s lOth-place at the con- ference meet earned them All- PCC honors. “We met two out of three team goals, the coach noted. We finished third both in the PCC round-robin and in the PCC tourney, but we failed to advance to regionals. According to Coach Foulds, one of the keys to their 11-4 dual-meet record was the greater number of runners that came out. There was more competition between team- mates which resulted in quick- er times at the meets.” The season was mainly a success except for the finish at sectionals, Sam Goff said. Sixth place is a good finish for our team, but the top five teams advance to regionals. That would’ve been a dream come true for Scott and me.” Dedicated member In play against Lake Central, junior Kim Nagy succeeded in keeping the Wildcats ' spirit alive and scored one of the eight points in the game.

Kim Nagy really played excep- tionally well during the sea- son.” The team showed a little inconsistency during the sea- son. One match, three people would play well and then an- other match, three different people would play well,” Coach Thompson added. The team faced some tough competition, reflected by their final record of 9-12. “Finishing with a 6-4 sea- son, the boys team showed tremendous desire and really wanted to win, especially to- ward the end of the s eason,” Coach Steve Landis said.

They got up for tourna- ments more than any other time, Coach Carol Grady said. I would rather have a tour- nament than regular season team, but that play was good, too. They were runners-up in the tournament in Griffith. At Lowell, we didn ' t make the fi- nals, but played well.” We were disappointed in ourselves in the conference round-robin. We were 5-3 where we should have been 8- 0. We just had three rough games. We talked about it and worked on it, but it just wasn’t there. We never got destroyed; we weren ' t beaten badly in any game,” the coach noted. Shannon Sheehy was the only sophomore on the varsity team. According to Coach Grady, she improved a great deal defensively throughout the season. It was great — I’m sorry to see the seniors leave because they really know how to play well and still have fun. They also know how to lose grace- fully — or at least most of them do. It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait until next year , Shannon said. Shannon Parman, junior, in just her second year with the program was already playing on the varsity team. “She was rather inconsistent offensively, but she helped out a lot when it came to being a hitter and a blocker,” Coach Grady noted. The overall attitude has been really good except for a few rough spots. They had a little dissension, but they man- aged to work it out. I think this helped the team to understand that there couldn’t be any fighting among the players if we really wanted to win. The girls learned that they have to get along off the court to win on the court,” said Coach Grady. I - ; J A : V ■- • ' vV.

This is the on- ly conference (in the state) that even has guys ' volleyball,” said new coach Mike Staup. The majority of the credit for our season (4-4 in round- robin; 8-7 including tourna- ments) should go to the guys. All I did was coach,” he con- tinued. The coach felt there was a good combination of experi- ence to work with, having mainly junior and senior play- ers. Junior Derek Skievaski won the award for setting while spiking went to senior Chip Stenger. The MVP and Mental Attitude Awards were won by senior Doug Patchin. Patchin also made all- conference, the first Wildcat in five years. “It was great to make all- conference. My brother, Dave, was the last person to do so. It ' s sort of a family thing as well as being an honor,” Doug said. Coach Staup added, Mainly what I tried to do this year was to teach them how to play within a structured atmo- sphere. We made it to the semi-finals at state. This is the first time we ' ve had a . . . 500 or better season in 10 years. We took advantage of our strengths and played down our weaknesses. The best exam- ple I can think of is Wally Kil. He was excellent in the front row, but ... he just did not play much in the back. We re just as good as any- one in the conference. That was evident by the scores. Al l a coach can do is the same as in practice. The players are the ones who have follow through. Hopefully, I will have prepared them well enough to meet any challenge,” concluded Coach Staup.

The good times and spirit of this closely-knit group was dampened when varsity cheer- leader Heather Bohlen broke her ankle. During practice, I was standing on Deanne Mickey ' s shoulders and we were all laughing. I lost my balance and fell right to the floor, Heather said. She was practicing a shoul- der stand, a routine move compared to the more difficult pyramid formation. The state sets a limit of two and a half high and we stay within those guidelines, said Mrs. Bonnie Beamer, sponsor. Heather’s fall was just one of those things.” With Heather sidelined, all of the other girls had to change positions. This inspired the squad to work extra hard to memorize their cheers, which then gave them their leisure time to relax and have fun. We had alot of fun over the last few years and I’m going to miss cheering after I gradu- ate,” Bohlen said. Squad support came from all, but the supervision was provided by Mrs. Bonnie Beamer for the varsity and JV girls. Mrs. Chris Mickey spon- sored the freshman squad.

Just before the squad left for camp, senior Debbie Carnell was injured in a car accident which eventually took her life. Camp was something we all looked forward to, but we had mixed emotions, recalled senior Alicia Stanley. At one point we even decided not to go. (But) ... we pulled togeth- er to fulfill Debbie ' s dream and bring home the national cham- pionship. The team won the camp ' s coveted Spirit Doll” twice and sponsors graciously allowed Debbie to have it. Alicia Stan- ley, Lisa Bonnema, Penni Can- ner, Lacessa Confer, and Shannon Davis won individual honors. When the emotional week ended, the Pom Cats were named USCA National Champs. The squad pushed on with their performance at the an- nual Pom Kick-Off. All the coach talked about was Lake Central and how good they are,” said Ericka Kallies, co-captain. The girls weren ' t better than just Lake Central; they won it all. January brought “Miss Drill Team Indiana” and the Pom Cats ' blizzard of three first- place and two second-place trophies froze-out the compe- tition. Even sponsor Coleen Darnell iced-away three coach- ing trophies. The local, state, and nation- al honors earned a chance to compete for another USCA na- tional title in Los Angeles, Ca- lifornia. Unfortunately, they couldn ' t overcome the high cost of the trip. Instead, the team made plans to compete closer to home in the Indiana State School Music Association con- test where, as always, the goal was simple: to bring a dream to life. - ' 4; £ P iivJ 9 e $ ■ . | m fa • ' V K ' rj £ Pom Pons A ' .ir onj Chumps ■ V. g ] t a i ' «. o • ; VV- .= •• ■ 5 V Jr,-.

The fans at that Sectional championship game did, too. The energy on both sides of the court was supercharged all night. “I think each team walked out of there feeling that they shouldn’t have lost the game,” said girls varsity basketball coach, James Kocal. But East Chicago Central downed the Lady Wildcats, 48-44, in over- time. The team jumped to a quick 6-0 record before they suf- fered a loss. They boosted that mark to 15-1 before their sec- ond defeat. Both losses were at the hands of PCC arch-rival Morgan Township. ‘‘Coach Mike Staup and I tried to change the format of practices to get away from the boring routine,” said Coach Kocal. Since practices were different each day, the team learned more about the game and they were very responsive toward the coaching staff, which was new to the school. “I sometimes looked for- ward to practices so I could work and get better, Kopack said, “I wanted to improve, but there just didn’t seem to be enough practices to overcome the pressures I put on myself.” Pressure became a factor when sectionals lurked for un- suspecting teams and the gi rls became one of the fortunate. Their first post-season outing against Munster was rough, but triumphant, ending 18-15. ‘‘One of the reasons for their success was Carolyn ' s ability and seniority, which led her to the team ' s M.V.P. Award. This is her last year, but the ability and leadership will be among Shannon Parman, Kelly Kopack, and Janice Xanders, who could de- velop like her sister, but the summer is the key,” said Coach Kocal.

Wayne, first-year coach Mike Staup was in for a surprise. “The one thing that I have learned from coaching a men’s college team to a high school girls team was patience, said Coach Staup. “None of us had any idea what to expect on the first day of practice. I think they had as much fun with us as we did with them, said sophomore Michelle Eberle. With a record of 17-1, the best ever, and 8-0 in the conference the junior varsity girls were determined. “I’ve learned a lot of things from coaching girls basket- ball,” explained Coach Staup. “I would sit and explain a play and they would go out on the court and do just the opposite of what I told them.” “We didn’t have a Michael Jordan on the team ... but Bette Walker tried awfully hard, added Coach Staup. That wasn ' t the only new experience in store for the rookie coach, however. He would come home on some nights to find that it had snowed in his yard and in his yard only — “TP ' ed” by mem- bers of his team. At Awards Night Coach Staup and Varsity Coach James Kocal gave Bette Walk- er, T ricia Ahrendt, and April Keiser special recognition: The Hacker Award. This was giv- en because when they ran a 3- on-2 drill where the coaches get the ball, these three im- mediately tried Chuck Norris martial arts techniques to get the ball back. “They would lit- erally aniliate Coach and me,” said Coach Staup. Also given at awards night, along with the participation certificates, were rolls of toilet paper to every girl on the team. “Wait until he sees this back at his house,” Michelle said after the ceremony.

Pushing points Senior forward John Walker boxes-out Westville players, clearing a small path for soph- omore Terry Thackston ' s easy lay-up. The 84-69 Wildcat win was one of six in the last nine games. Experience WAS SIMPLY LACKING VERY team has to rebuild, but the Wildcats had to make some drastic changes. The Wildcats lost all five starters and the coach from the last four years. Just three returning lettermen remained from the 1987 PCC champi- onship team. Junior Jeff Morgan said, This was basically a rebuild- ing season as we only had three returning lettermen.” John Walker, senior, said, Our goal was to win at least half of our games. Although we didn’t quite reach our goal, we lost many games by two or four points. This season started slowly as the Wildcats lost 9 of 10 games. Four were lost by less than five points. The team won five of their last nine regular season games after their slug- gish start. Coach Steve Foulds said, “The season was semi- successful and the improve- ment was good, but the lack of leadership hurt us.” Chip Stenger was selected to the all-conference team as he averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds per game. Also, Chip was honored as the team’s M.V.P. at the Winter Sports Banquet. The middle man, Wally Kil received the “Take the Charge” award. At 6 ' 5 , Dan Kouder grabbed 148 rebounds to take the Rebounding Award. Larry Keiser was named Most Improved.” Jeff Morgan won the Best Free Throw Percent- age Award as he shot 68 per- cent from the line. Coach Foulds added, “I want next year ' s team to win 15 games, place in the top three in the conference, and be in the finals of sectionals. Next year, we have six returning let- termen and nine players re- turning. A VALUABLE ASSET The first quarter started slowly for Hanover, but Chip Stenger ' s leaping field goal put Hanover within two points of Kouts. The Mustangs built a lead of 18 points, but the Wildcats stormed back in the third period, then won the game on Chip ' s tip-in at the buzzer.

With a record of 7-12, the hallmark of the season was clearly not victory, but behind- the-scenes work. We had long, hard prac- tices, and good attendance,” said sophomore Jerry Brawl- ey. Apparently benefitting from these practices, sophomores Andy Baldwin, Tony Rastall and Anthony Kenning improv- ed the most, according to Coach Hamsley. Before I was injured, I re- ally enjoyed the chance to play basketball and learn some new skills. Coach Hamsley and var- sity coach, Steve Foulds taught us a lot about the game. Fast breaks and quick returns were our specialty, said Tony Rastall.

Freshman Basketball Back On The Map Flashy start BUT MOMENTUM DRIFTS E I N G a first-year freshman coach, Mr. John Gorball felt as though he had an advantage having coached the same group as eighth-graders just a year ear- lier. Starting the season with a 6-2 record, Coach Gorball en- visioned an excellent year. The momentum couldn ' t be sus- tained, however, as they ended the season 9-1 1 . Of the games they lost, eight were by less than three points. The worst game of the season was when we played Hebron. We couldn ' t do any- thing right,” said Coach Gorball. But my most dis- couraging game was against Lowell. We played our best game and we lost by three points. The way the team looked up to Mike Torrence and followed his example made him a team leader before he was moved to the junior varsity level. When Mike was listening, they all listened. When he did something, the others would too, which helped,” the coach said. The other team leader was Jason Storms. He was our point guard and he ran all of our offensive plays,” Coach Gorball added. In eighth grade we didn’t have a great season, but I learned a lot more and we won a lot more games. With co- operation our season was a good one,” said Craig York. The 6-2 start before Christ- mas was important. “The team became close and enjoyed playing together. Beating Mor- gan, LaCrosse and the over- time win over Washington Township added to the many highlights of the season,” add- ed Coach Gorball. The team showed a lot more effort and cooperation which benefitted to our sea- son,” said Jason Storms.

JEMytS Wrestling Back On The Map Hard times FOR FEW WRESTLERS it T H I S was a rebuilding season,” said Coach Greg Whitacre. Coach Whitacre lost Doug Willems, and Scott Campbell who would have been a wel- come addition to the team. Injuries and transfers plagued the team all year, since Campbell and David Mantel sat out the season with broken arms. Mantel broke his arm in the first match of the season, while Campbell suf- fered a second compound fracture to his left arm at a wrestling camp during the summer. “The loss of Scott Campbell devastated this team, ' ' Coach Whitacre noted. “Scott’s abil- ity was at su ch a high level that he would have probably wres- tled in the State Finals.” The coach continued, “Transfers certainly helped someone else ' s season.” Former student Doug Wil- lems proved him right as he ranked third in the state for Crown Point. We need more people and dedication. There were not enough students who have what it takes in terms of de- sire, dedication and guts to be a wrestler. Lack of wrestlers was what hurt this young team,” Coach Whitacre said. Scott Hoover and Phil Lar- sen were the only students to wrestle at the Crown Point Sectionals, but both lost in sectionals although they fought hard. Hoover comment- ed, The season was not a total loss because we will have some varsity experience next year.” First-year wrestler Tom Sheehy missed sectionals be- cause he was overweight by one and one-half pounds. Comparing Sheehy Tom to ' 87 graduate Johnny Willems when he started, Coach Whitacre said, Tom has progressed well and should be a good wrestler.” Ready to go 1 it was a great experience for being a rookie at Sectionals, said Scott Hoover after plac- ing third at Crown Point. Most improved Scott Hoover led into the third period but lost to his Crown Point opponent dur- ing Sectionals.

At sectionals, senior Carolyn Xanders qualified for regionals by placing fourth with a jump of 5 ' . At the PCC Tourney, sophomore Tricia Ahrendt made the AII-PCC track team by placing first in discus with a throw of 95 ' 1 1 Four school records were reset including two by one in- dividual. Sophomore Jenny Baran bettered her own records in the 1600 with a time of 5:50.6 and in the 3200 with a time of 12:40.1. Sophomore Bette Walker put the shot a record 35 ' 8”. Carolyn and Janice Xanders broke the high jump record, both jumping 5’2 at the Ho- bart Invitational on Friday, May 13. A bad luck day? Hardly. They also broke the record for the Hobart Invitational with the combined height of 10 ' 4 . According to Coach Grady, the team had two goals: at least a second-place at the PCC Meet and to win the PCC Girls All-Sports Trophy. In spite of their incredible dual meet success, the Lady Wild- cats finished fourth in the big meet. As a result of that place, Hanover lost the all-sports honor to Morgan Twp. by two points. With losing five seniors this seasion, it will be hard to improve on our 11-2 record, Coach Grady said. “However, if the underclassmen are able to develop both physically and mentally we could be PCC champs. 0 • J ■V. rv £ £ - X- •A kr 1 iV- SfJ ?■: JHUTTLE SHIFT ’ In one of the few meets where the shuttle hurdles relay Is contested, sophomore Vickie Blanton takes it all in stride to begin the running events at Hanover Relays.

The team avenged three early dual-meet losses in the big meets by beating Boone Grove twice, Westville in the PCC, and Morton at Lowell Re- lays. In the team’s resurgence, five records were set. Soph- omore Bill Missal became the first Wildcat ever to qualify for sectionals in the 100-M Dash with his record time of 11.4 seconds. He also slashed the 200-M Dash mark to 23.2 sec- onds and qualified. Jason Storms became Han- over ' s first freshman 3200-M sectional and regional qualifier. At Lowell he destroyed the re- cord by 19 seconds, running in 10:08. In sectionals, he bet- tered this mark by another five seconds, placing fourth, and qualifying for regionals where he was tenth. He also qualified and set the 1600-M record with a 4:42. Senior Doug Patchin, who qualified for sectionals in shot put and discus, saved his best throw ever for the the last night of his career.

Starting with 14 players and ending with 10 wasn ' t a bad average, but six of those 10 were freshmen or sopho- mores. That left all leadership to the four juniors. With no seniors, no one had an experienced teammate to look up to. Third-year player, junior Jason Anderson, be- came their leader almost by default. While the 2-15 dual-meet record wasn ' t exactly the stuff of dreams, Coach Brindley kept the season in perspective. He refused to make excuses, saying only that with so many underclassmen, the future was where he was setting his sights. “This was,” he said, “essentially a junior varsity team competing on a level.” The most improved players, according to the coach, were sophomore Anthony Kenning, improving by 6-7 strokes per game; and junior Mike Wit- tenhagen, who improved an average of 10-11 strokes per game. Mike received the “Most Improved” award at the Spring sports banquet. Jason Anderson received the “Medalist” trophy as the top golfer on the team. His average score dropped with every match but one during the season, including sectionals. He finished with a 46.3 (nine- hole) average. “My greatest satisfaction in coaching the team was to see the rookies improve over the season,” Coach Brindley noted.

We found there was a real interest in tennis with 23 girls attending our first meeting, Coach Ruth Eskilson said. The team began practice in February with the girls learning basic skills in serving, volley- ing, forehand, backhand, and strategies of the game. The girls learned quickly — they really surprised me, but they knew they had to be prepared for their first game April 12,” Coach Eskilson said. Some had a slight advan- tage, though, since they had been part of a junior varsity squad the previous year. Seven players were given varsity status with the back- ups forming a new junior var- sity squad. To earn a varsity letter, each girl had to play in 70% of the matches. Senior Millie Willy earned the tough honor of number one singles position, forcing her to play the opposing team ' s top player in every match. Junior Leigh Beck and sophomore Jessica Sasseville were teamed for the number one doubles position. Other varsity players included Cherie Croak, Dawn Zezule, Vicki Vanco, and Shelley Palmer. The attitude of all the girls was fantastic, Coach Eskilson noted. May was a very cold month and it seemed like the wind would never stop on match days. But this team was ready to meet the challenges presented by the other teams. It was a super team to coach,” Mrs. Eskilson said. “The girls were very cooper- ative. “I hope this winning spirit car- ries over to 1989,” she con- tinued. “A record of 5-5 for a first-year team really makes me proud of these players.” e. : b- ' -i ■ A- r: • $ K ' it .

A fresh- man, she professed a preference for the dark good looking guys of her own country, but ac- knowledged with a wink there were quite a few at Hanover. No names, please,” she begged, dark eyes sparkling. Italia’s universal “A-HA” became well known; it was her international version of “UH-HUH.” Having a conversation with her was an ad- venture. During one of the times allotted to ask her questions in Advanced Spanish, she prac- tically invented her own lan- gauge. With madly waving arms, she struggled through English sentences, breaking into Spanish when the right English word eluded her. She always listened care- fully during class exercises, like she didn’t already know what was being taught, and she never (well, hardly ever) made fun of the halting Spanish and poor accents of her fellow classmates. “Keep practicing and soon you will be speak- ing Spanish as well as me,” she told people encouragingly. When it came time to leave, she departed from the airport full of tears.

However, it seems to me as though students might be getting lazier.” The first five six weeks were the usual rou- tine, but the last six weeks I had more fun because we became independent in working on our video projects,” said Derek Skievaski, jun- ior. “Mr. Frazier ' s class wasn’t all that hard, but listening in class was necessary.” “Learning the eight writing Heauristics in Mr. Rajchel’s senior English class wasn’t that hard, but it took a lot of time to write the paper and write it right,” Doug Patchin said. If you had one run-on sentence you got an F on the paper.” Listening was also neces- sary in drama to follow the director ' s stage instructions. The course was brought back after it’s successful in- troduction the year before. The drama class built sets for all Thespian productions and used their acting training to stage their own play, “The Wrong Number.” It starred junior Wendy Beamer as an hysterical invalid who inadvertently overhears her own murder through a wrong number. The training also enabled some class mem- bers to win roles in the regular thespian pro- ductions. “Being Gertie in Oklahoma!” made me re- alize how much fun plays were. It was enrolling in drama that gave me that new interest,” Wendy said.

Photography need- ed more attention than we could give in the basic journalism class.

But computers could also be used to do whatever the mind could dream up, whether it was in business or math classes. “Computers are a vital part of the present and will be more so in the future,” said Mr. Mike Staup, business teacher. “I use them to or- ganize notes as well as write up tests. They are invaluable to saving time and having neat — looking work. It is critical that students learn good computer skills. Computers also aided Mr. Staup in preparing his notes for his many class- es. “Business law is a bit more challenging than some of my other classes, such as Consumer Ed. It gives stu- dents a better idea about laws in business and what their rights are in dealing with the business world, said Mr. Staup.

Studying the stock market was cool, even though I didn’t invest in the stock market,’’ said Don Corey, junior. “M r.

The 1987 KEY, with it’s theme of Limited Editions, gathered many national and state awards. The most prestigious honor came in Novem- ber at the National Scholastic Press Associ- ation’s national convention in Kansas City, Mo. where it was named “Best of Show” in the small school category. Earlier, the NSPA had acclaimed it an All-American” yearbook, while the Indiana High School Press Association honored it as the third best yearbook in Indiana and second in the small school division. With that precedent, the 1988 KEY staff had it’s toughest challenge to im- prove even more. The effort began with an increased budget and more pages. At $10,500 and an in- crease from 160 to 168 pages, including a “mini- mag,” the stage was set. My primary goal was to produce something different from previous years,” senior Shane Szutenbach, said. ”1 also wanted to make sure the work got done on time so that we seniors could walk out of here on June 1 know- ing we wouldn’t have to come back again.” Clubs editor, senior Jeff Koszut, added, “Yearbook was rewarding and I wish I could have done it for more than two years. I really enjoyed working on the staff with such a variety of people — there were some real characters.

I have a cat myself and I couldn’t cut it up. I left the room,’’ said junior Tracy Haberlin. Other people thought the course was ed- ucational and valuable de- spite it’s slightly gross over- tones. “I like it because you don’t just study one particular sub- ject or species. In Mr. Krol’s class we study science as a whole,” senior Ericka Kallies said. While in Health classes, Cedar Lake Emergency Medical Technicians came to show various life saving pro- cedures used on the job. “It was educational, but al- so entertaining. I’ll never for- get how Noel Russell looked strapped to that board,” said Luanne Gilkey, senior. The EMTs were also called upon for professional services occasionally when students in physical education classes pushed beyond their limits. Miss Carol Grady added aerobics to her chal- lenging class, which also included units in the major sports, badminton, and tumbling. Mr. Steve Foulds continued the weightlifting unit introduced a year earlier. Bodies were the main emphasis in the cur- riculum; it was only the approach that differed. In one it was building, in another it was struc- ture, and in the last it was how to care for it. “It was just gross.

Community features that have been introduced to this section, like that of the Cedar Lake Boys Club on page 149, show what makes Cedar Lake special. For instance, there are over 1 (),()()() Boys Clubs in the United States, four of which serve the Lake County area. Cedar Lake, alone, has it’s very own. It is the spirit of community cooperation that makes this book possible. From our oldest ad- vertiser, Cedar Like Lumber (since 1970) to our newest friends at Box ' s Hot Dogs (1988), student support has helped generate new business. That, in turn, will keep Hanover and the surrounding com- munity Back On The Map to stay.

Having a place to go when there isn ' t anyone at home, and knowing that you have a less chance to get in trouble, that helps us ' beat the streets ' , said Mary Joan Garrett, gym director. Upon entering the Cedar Lake Boys Club, one might expect to see children from less fortunate families. To most people, the kids that are members are only there to be off the streets and out of trouble. With the dedicated staff, like Ms. Garrett, and Mr. Dale Polomchak, program director, there ' s not a member with a need that goes unhelped. The four Northwest Indiana Boys Clubs in Cedar Lake, Gary, East Chicago and Hammond, serve over 10,000 youngsters from all areas and backgrounds. Members, including girls, range in age from 7 to 18. I think having a co-ed club is real great. It makes things more interesting at the club and allows more things to be done, such as dances. I also think it is great because girls are on the streets just as much as boys and it gives them a chance to get off the streets and do something good with their lives, said David Sell, Hanover student and club member. Give them respect, and you get respect back, and to me that ' s important in itself, Garrett said. With all the hustle and bustle of work, finding a babysitter, and doing some worrying on their own, parents can rest assured that there is a safe place where their children can have some clean fun, said Ralph Miller, unit director. Even though it ' s a big responsibility, it ' s one that really seems to pay off. I think the Boys Club does alot of important things, said Tom Hegeduis. It keeps you out of trouble, there ' s plenty to do, and it ' s a place to make and see friends. I ' ve learned alot there in the seven years that I ' ve been a member. Playing pool is one of the favorite activities of Jason Fraze and Robert Westerhoff who are just two of the 231 youngsters served by the Cedar Lake Boys Club.

You live in our hearts. You’re remembered by many. In ways great and small. Your memories still echo. Throughout these old halls. Feelings weren’t shared enough, Though we’re sure that you knew.

I he Great Oaks Health Club opened its doors to the public in 1953. With the present activities ranging from weight-lifting to scuba diving lessons, the club is able to offer recreational activities to youngsters as well as adults from the Cedar Lake area. There are swimming lessons offered to people, even as young as 18 months old. The health club now offers a tanning salon, sauna, and whirlpool adding to the original weight-lifting, aerobics and swimming quarters. Tve been a member of the club for about eight years. The reason I joined was to stay in shape and to blow off some steam during the year. I like going and sitting in the whirlpool after a hard workout or practice at school, ' said Doug Patchin, Hanover Senior. The After Four Supper Club, located above the health club , has been remodeled with a new hard wood floor to accommodate up to 400 people for ballroom dancing, proms, weddings, and banquets. Before the building was turned into a health club in 1953, it was used to manufacture fishnets and later to produce camouflage nets for World War II. In 1978, Ray Stinson purchased and remodeled the interior of the building. The owners originally hung their personal collection of antique musical instruments from the ceiling to create a more relaxed atmosphere. In August of 1986, vandals broke into the building, and started a fire that created an estimated $45,000.00 worth of damage. With all the damage caused by the fire, many people thought the club would not reopen. And with the efforts of many friends, the club was back in business within five weeks, said Ray Stinson. c Plea§ant c View ' Dairy Corp. 2625 Highway Avenue Highland, Indiana 46322 (219) 838 0155 Tor Home Delivery Advertisin g A Hc.i rhy Move TAKING A BREAK from a teaching a Aquacize class, Sheree Downing, instructor, feels the warm embrace of Great Oak’s heated pool.

Heads-up After the tassel turning ceremony, graduate Chris Brown throws his caps into the air soon to be followed by other classmates. Graduation Back On The Map PLANNING FOR THE NEXT REAL WORLD “From pet names like “Beetle” given to Tammy Sheehy by a friend her freshman year to bottle caps flying through the air, 85 graduating seni- ors were taking one of the biggest steps in their lives.’’ On June 5 at 2:00 p.m. with over 1500 people in attendance, the seniors took their final steps to a new direction. For many students, 63 to be exact, it meant some form of higher education in college, trade school or military services. For others it meant a yar o work and then college. I’m glad I’m going to Ball State. I didn’t want to work a year because they say it’s hard to stop working when you see that flow of money coming in,” said Doug Patchin. “This class as a whole is the most creative, especially in the areas of music, drama, and yearbook. It is going to be hard to build back-up to that,” said Mr. Gary Young, College-Prep English teach- er. “The best thing was their attitude. They like people, each other, and they got along with one another. The senior English classes, if they were not the best, they tied for the best.” “It feels great graduating, but it is a scary feeling knowing that now I’m in the real world,” Shannon Blennert said. “Mom and dad can’t really help you now because you are on your own.” Time came for the tassel ceremony and fourth-year Class President Carolyn Xanders walked to the podium to perform the honors. Soon after, hundreds of beer caps sailed through the air, collected from parties through- out the year. “We would have had more, but most of them Continued on page 164.

We thought it would be better to throw caps than our hats. Everyone throws their hats. We wanted to be different.” For many if not all of the students, receiving their diploma was one of the best times of their lives, but for John Jaranowski the special celebration was the best part for him. “Throwing the beer caps was the best part of grad- uation because it was funny and original. There were a lot of things that I liked about graduation, but the end was the best because it was very hot in there. Oth- erwise, it was getting my diploma, and knowing that high school was over even though I came in two weeks after graduation to com- plete the yearbook. I’m looking forward to going to Ball State University this fall, said Doug Patchin. The best part of graduation was when I re- ceived my diploma because I officially graduated from high school and was no longer a student at Hanover, Tracy Johnson said. I will be attending Purdue University Calumet to major in Criminal Justice, and I am glad so many of my high school classmates will be attending there with me. “The best part of graduation was when I received my diploma because I officially graduated from high school.” — Tracy Johnson Educational future Mr. John Gorball presents Martha Willy with the Hanover Organization of Professional Educators scholarship worth $100 to a student who plans to attend college to become a teacher r i Graduation Buck On The “Beetle” mania 1 i Overcome with joy after the tassel ceremony Tammy Sheehy joins the commotion.

Cedar Lake was always easy to find, but once again there was reason to take notice. A top-notch academic team, pom-pon squad, yearbook program, and numerous athletic achievements packed a lot of pride into twelve months. With 73% of the graduating class seeking higher education or military service, seniors spread in every direction planning for the fu- ture. The state-finalist academic team of mostly freshmen and soph- omores made that same future even brighter. Record performances in boys and girls volleyball, basketball, track and baseball, including Matt Wolffs state-leading strikeout re- cord, left a permanent mark. Carolyn Xanders became the first Hanover athlete to receive a full- ride scholarship when she signed with the University of Tennessee — Marten for basketball. While it was the end of the road for Sixth-Grade Camp and its high school counselors after 22 years, Operation Snowball, Swing Choir, band, and art club offered proven first-class programs. Cedar Lake was encompassed by the renewed spirit and positive di- rection. There was nothing fake or contrived about it. Hanover Central was truly Back On The Map and this time it was here to stay.
