SWUNG TOWARD SHORG SHIGLD ’80 HIGHLAND HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLAND, Wm The sun rises, the sun sets — Each day moves us onward, and along the currents which carry our lives. Time is an ocean, its tides rising and falling as we continue the journey, our goal — the shore — in sight. We ride with the wind, and prepare ourselves to meet the changes that come; We sail through the fog, sometimes, Or bask in the sunlight of the brilliant days. We see the breakers pounding up ahead, and wonder if we ll make it through the waves; We see the craggy ro cks and sense the danger; Yet we know we must go on. Sailing toward shore is never an easy thing, Moving ahead, rather than simply rolling with the tides of our lives . . . Daring to challenge the wind, Believing, always, in the power of ourselves to reach our goal. Sensing the greatness which can always possibly come. Once we trust in ourselves and the power of our ability to achieve. Never, never be afraid to sail on! Sailing Toward Shore 3 ( j ; V A. t v 1 y ,J Awv CHI-TOWN Hidden in the shadows of Chicago, Highland finds itself drawn to its excitement. When boredom strikes, cure it with a shot of Chicago! For all sports fans, the “Windy City” is the home of several pro teams for every sport from baseball to soccer. So, why not take a trip out to the old ball park and “root, root, root for the team? On the other hand, why not get in some exercise and spend a day at the zoo? Besides, a day in the wilderness would help bring back our love of natural things. Having the nation’s busiest airport, many hope to see some of the sights at O’Hare. This summer many outsiders were also drawn to the excitement of Chicago Fest. Some tourists come to see the beauty that lies within the city. Amidst the towering sky scrapers one may view the Sears Tower, Water Tower Place, The John Hancock Building and other Chicago landmarks. All of the city, plus much more, can be seen from atop of some of these buildings. This year the memorable mass of Pope John Paul II in Grant Park thrilled millions of people. Whenever one needs to seek some new adventure they ought to try the fun- filled life of Chi-town, our big and beautiful neighbor to the north. 1 ± Chicago Shadows 5 TH€ RGN. VOU When do you see people being themselves? Walking down the halls during passing time one can see all types of students doing their own thing. Some students just seem to take it easy between classes and share their time with their friends. They talk about a certain problem or about what they ' re going to do after school while trying to make it to next class on time. Rushing worriedly down the hall are other stude nts trying to make it from English to trigonometry. They have no time to socialize or take a break. Frustration can be seen in their faces as they try to get through the barricade of people talking in the hall and still make it to class on time. As one passes the benches, he meets the popular crowd consisting of “Jocks” and “Rahs. There are conversations floating around She’s Going With Who? Lu Ann Pollitz and Nancy McDonald catch up on the latest gossip while going to class. about who is going out with who or “who won last night’s football game. When the bell rings, they all scatter. The halls become quiet again until the next passing time. At midday a special bell rings and everyone stampedes to get in line for lunch. During lunch many students enjoy catching up on the latest gossip with friends, or they collaborate on homework assignments. Some, however, prefer to spend lunch by themselves, just walking down the sparcely populated halls. Others just sit down in an empty hall and prepare to take on the rest of the day. Once the bell rings out to signal the end, and it is time to return to class, don’t hide the real you away. In class, as well as out of class, let the real you shine through. Really — there is only one real YOU! You’ve Got To Be Kiddin! Kathy Uppie tries to encourage Tim Reyes to get involved in the pep rally. What About Friday? Greg Potesta asks Tracy Strong if she is free to go out Friday night after the basketball game. “I Can’t Believe It!” Leslie Velasquez is surprised to hear that the Spanish Club won second prize for their float. Mmm Mmm Good! John Vargo enjoys a hearty midday meal in order to make it through the rest of the hectic school day. What A Day! After a long morning of tests and lectures, Joe Golly takes a break before the afternoon classes begin. 7 you me lowed to Know youRseu 1 Sometimes I see the sunset and the sea within your eyes; I feel the freshness of the ocean breeze in the air around you, and I am filled with happiness, just knowing you will make it to the shore. I see you out there, sailing strong amid the breaking waves, almost silhouetted against the azure sky, and I know your course is steady, for you know the way so well, simply because you have learned to know yourself. The shoreline of your future and the harbor of your dreams are waiting there, ready to light your victories with a golden sun, and the thunder of a thousand breaking waves. Sail on, my friend, you ' ll make it — And I know you ' ll make it truly beautiful! Student Musical Graduation LMNG IT UP!!! When you combine an enjoyable climate with a few friends, whether it be at a beach or amusement park, and some music to make the good times roll, you have just completed a perfect recipe: SUMMER! Catching the rays, taking a vacation, or just plain bumming around” are some of the ways students spend their summer. However, more and more of us seem to find out that working during the summer has become necessary. On those hot days, when the beach is the solution, and the beach is too far away, a pool seems to keep most satisfied. Along with swimming, sports seem to be the main activity for most. Summertime is almost everyone’s favorite time of year. Staying out late on a special date, sleeping all day with no one to say, Get up and get ready for school, is a luxury. From the beginning of June until the end of August, everyday is funfilled, doing what you like to do. Everyday is a day to yourself. PILE UP!

After announcing the court, the King and Queen, Bryan Moore and Julie Holicky, were crowned by last year ' s royalty Danny Bouchee and Janet Bauer, then prom festivities began. Pictures were taken and dancing seemed to keep the couples alive. After-Prom was held at the Cameo Club in Schererville where dinner was served. Droopy eyes, sore feet, and motionless bodies walked out the doors of the Cameo to their cars. Though the nights activities did not stop them. After a few hours of sleep, all were up and headed for Marriot’s Great America, Turkey Run, or Brookfield Zoo. Prom took forever to get here and passed by in a second, though everyone who attended the 1979 Prom has many memories to cherrish “Always and Forever. Prom has always been a time to remember, and this years Prom had many magic moments. The laughter, the excitement, the feeling of joy, may all be in the past, though all of these and many more precious moments that were spent at Prom still linger on. Royalty Displayed.

The float builders were easily detected by their sleepy eyes, red, sore fingers, and sudden impu lses to grap kleenexes. The marching band and majorettes could be seen practicing day after day perfecting their half time show; and football players could be heard muttering to themselves something about winning. The picture grew more vivid. With the commencement of the traditional Homecoming parade and the display of class floats. The awaited hour was nearing. The breeze became brisk as dusk approached. Anxious fans clad in cords and blazer jackets began to fill the bleachers. With the flashing glint of brass and the beating of drums, hands and feet began to clap and stamp. A tremendous roar entered into the land of the Highland Trojans. The picture was now a reality. The Homecoming game which was so vague has now become reality, by leaving memories behind. Royalty. Joe Rovai and Debbie Havran reign as king and queen. Festivities lasted during all of Homecoming week The Twelve Chosen: Cathy Hubler, Dave Wells. Jennifer Jones. Greg Spudic, Debbie Havran.

Hustling and bustling about, students were busily preparing for the arrival of Homecoming. It seems as though September 28 was upon us in no time. This year a new attraction was added to the fun of Homecoming. Spirit Week introduced a new kind of enthusiasm as well as a break in the normal routine of each day. It is not completely new though, as Basketball Homecoming enjoys it each year. The dress- up days included such crazy ideas as jersey day, business man day, inside-out day, blue and gold day, and the ever present 50 ' s day. It really added a touch of life to the whole affair. The crowning of king and queen was presented on Wednesday night at the pep rally. Debbie Havran and Joe Rovai were picked to reign over the Homecoming festivities. The rest of the court included: Cathy Hubler, Dave Wells, Mary Lou Morgan, Jeff Hines, Marcia Hicks, Greg Spudic, Randy Cooper, Debbie Rosko, Andy Shattuck, and Jennifer Jones. As the day of Homecoming approached, all the classes and clubs anxiously tried to finish their floats. The tradition of all-night float sessions was no different this year. The annual Homecoming parade also showed off some tradition with fire trucks, floats, bands, clubs, and people who bring the spirit of Highland together. The class float competition was won by the freshmen for the first time in school history. Their advice to the Trojans was to Peaches and Cream ’em, following the theme of fruits and vegetables. The seniors took second place with Lay ' em on the Lime. After a long fight the Trojans fell to the Crown Point Bulldogs 22-15. The loss did not dampen many spirits as everyone went their separate ways after the game. Some attended the dance for students in the cafeteria and others went out for pizza or a quiet dinner. Once again, Homecoming became a pleasant memory of crowning royalty, fluffing flowers for floats, and honoring returning alumni.

Isidora Lagos. Sue King, Jeff Olio, and Carole Swanson led the way followed closely by Laura Magiera. The last class of the ' 70s went out in a fury of the excitement that goes with commencement week. Seniors get out a week early, only to return to do such things as have class pictures taken, practice for commencement, and pick up their caps and gowns. Then suddenly it’s here. The moment they have waited for four long years. Graduation is filled with tears and good byes to those who will be leaving from those who will be staying behind. It was the final good bye to teachers and underclass friends. Then the final victory. The four valedictorians gave their speeches; the salutatorian gave hers; Mr. Kurteff and Dr. Renfrow spoke. Then, starting at the end of the alphabet, the Class of ' 79 marched up to receive their diplomas. And so they left Highland High School, the last class to graduate in the seventies. It was the end of their beginning. Leading The Way. Valedictorians of the Class of ' 79 shared honors at graduation. Row One: Sue King. Isidora Lagos. Jeff Olio.

In The Future . . . “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”, isn’t that what our parents always say? They constantly remind us of the times when they were young, how lucky we are now and how bad they had it when they were young. Well, there are a lot more opportunities for young people now a days; but by no means does that mean we have it easy. Requirements to graduate are different, courses are harder, and the same pressures that they felt are still here. Our offspring will feel the same way some day, the pressure of being a teenage kid. “Wait till you kids get older with responsibilities.” Just the same, we do have many responsibilities. Some kids are responsible for getting jobs to help pay for the expenses of college. College itself is a big responsibility. The thought of going to college may be frightening or even exciting. We may not want to go, but our parents may be expecting us to. What will they say if we don’t want to go? Ever since we can remember they have been saving money for us to go to college. Now, how can we live in the same house, especially after we ruined their dream and let them down. The next step is out of the house, but who is ready to be on their own fresh from high school? Moving out means spending money on food and housing. If we do not have a job there is no possible way to afford these necessities of independent life because of todays high prices. Then there are always the loafers. They are constantly reminded of a job or money. Parents never see their point of life. They always seem to complain to them. There is another opportunity in which alumni can be a part of. Even if you’ve dropped out of school and never graduated, there is always the armed forces. That leads to the nation wide problem, called the draft. Any What are my parents going to say?! Receiving a failure notice always seems to bring on the lec- tures, and more time lost. boy or man 18 years or older could be drafted. Many kids think about what it would be like to fight in a war. This kind of pressure is brought on by the thoughts of the future. Some kids worry about the future of their kids. There are so many problems in the world now, just imagine all the problems to come for future generations. With the shortage of gas in the world, we wonder if our children will be able to get around as we do. Although there are many pressures after high school, the biggest problem is peer pressure during high school. They have an influence over us that makes us do things. “The thought of getting a job scares me when the word interview is S brought up. Nervous is talking to a 9 stranger that judges you on a first 9 impression.” B “Not living up to my expectations is frightening. Now when I have a problem I run to mom, but then what will I do? I ' m definitely not looking forward to being independent. I’m pressured about my grades because I have to go to college according to my parents. It ' s not K. really my decision. These are a few of the problems that high school kids see in the future. How many of the se seem familiar to you? Everyone will have to face them at some time or another. There’s no way to escape the U— Future, Cont ' d problems that the future holds! A world full of problems that cause us all to worry. College, work, money, our future, national troubles, getting a car, and just being accepted by people for being yourself add to the pressures of life. Whatever the pressures are the individual must remember to be strong and face them head on. Thinking of the future. Tammy Scott and Jim Salatas talk about the times to come. Decisions, decisions. There are so many colleges to choose from that even picking one out is a problem. What ' s It All About ? Survi ving The Life Surviving • it ' s taking all life can give, the good and the bad, and then coming up the winner. As we continue our everlasting journey towards shore, it sometimes seems that the problems outweigh the happiness; but as we become more experienced on the journey, we learn ways to deal with problems. When growing up, our parents were the ones we turned to when a problem arose. They seemed to be able to take care of just about any situation. Now we realize they don ' t know all the answers; however, we go to them still because they are eager to try to understand and help. Sometimes it ' s not comfortable to tell parents about certain problems, so we turn to friends. They may not be able to give an answer to the problem, but just sharing the problem makes it feel a bit lighter and easier to cope with. There are times when there is n o one who can help with our problems. At times like this we must go within ourselves to find the answers. We have to dig deep in our souls to decide what is right for us. When the problems and pressures become too much to handle, many of us find ways to escape and avoid them. Many simply avoid the problems. They block them completely out of their mind and pretend they don ' t exist at all. The problems get put off until they absolutely have to face them. This The Decision. Many students try to escape problems only to create others: all must make decisions. 24 Escapes What Mow? Sandi Sarti finds answers from her mother; always a sure way to get help Within Myself. Sometimes the big decisions can only be made by searching within one ' s self. Will We Make It? gives them time to relax and get themselves together and ready to hit the problems head on. Television and movies provide an easy route to flee from problems. Students can sit in front of the tube or sit in a dark theatre and step from their lives into the lives of the characters on the screen. They can take on the personality of their movie or T.V. heroes and pretend to be in total control. Through music, we can let our problems drift into beautiful noise. We can let music fill our soul and ease the tensions and pressures of the day. Mellow music may simply bring the person to think about what is going on inside his head, while hard rock lets students jam out and forget about the things on his mind. There are good ways to help us escape and forget for a while; however, some routes of escape only cause more and more problems. Some students turn to drugs and alcohol to leave their problems. It ' s easier to just get high or stoned than to face the problem at hand. The drugs give students a temporary high that gets them away from the immediate problem. Once they come down they have to come back into the world and face their problem which now is even worse. By using drugs or alcohol the student has made a new problem for himself. He may become dependent on drugs or alcohol to solve all the problems that may arise in his life. Being dependent on drugs makes a person become a prisoner of his life. He can never totally be free because he can ' t face life. Students also literally run away from their problems. They pick up and leave home, hoping to find a place to escape from their problems. By leaving home, however, only more problems are created. They may leave a certain problem back at home, but they also leave their family and friends. This can lead to a new problem called loneliness. Physical exertion is also another way to break away from the problems we face. While working out, the mind becomes so involved in what the body is doing that problems are forgotten. Sometimes the mind transcends to another dimension, like in meditation. The mind is set free to calm itself. Problems have always and will be part of our lives. No matter how hard we try, there is really no way to avoid or escape their grip. They can only be solved by coming face to face with them. As we continue our journey we will meet many more people and gain many more experiences which will help us solve our problems easier and faster. We will get the courage to face all the problems we meet head on.

People Need People When you look into the eyes of a true friend you know what you are feeling is mutual. But, how do you know that a friend is true when you are constantly changing? Well, my friend, this is not always easy. Our society strongly stresses competition; with true friends, one does not compete. Instead, we share what means the most to both of us. To be our own person and try not to always be changing the other, is what sharing is all about, too. To be a part of someone, to share good times, special moments, secret feelings, yet, still accept them as they are, and not condemn them for what they’re not. With a true friend, you can develop a trust and honesty between you that no one can see or touch; but you can always feel its presence. And when in life you two are called to separate, the honesty and trust will strengthen and remain in your hearts forever. Once you feel that you have really found that special feeling, you know that you have also found a true and special friend. What makes a true friend? First of all, don’t look for a friend; just let it happen. All of the sharing, trust, and honesty will come as more and more time is spent with your friends. Then, a type of bond develops between people who belong together; it gives an open feeling, one that gives a sense of belonging. Though you may have many friends”, (people who you hang around with, or a small clique you belong to) you will find, if you already haven’t, that those people are nice and all that, but, they aren’t nearly as precious as the few, or the one true friend you may have. True friends are always there to give su pport. They are someone to lean on when your emotions get too much for you to handle. Even though you may sometimes take your frustrations out on them, they understand enough to realize that you just need a chance to “let go.” “Say what is in your heart when it is in your heart , and you will never regret not having said it.” A friend will help you reach your goal. They give you the motivation to reach ahead to achieve your goals. Friends are not required to give of themselves; they do it because they care. They want to be a part of your life, just as you want to part of theirs. They will outlast anyone else. As you change and progress with time, your true friend will change along with you and accept your change and help you meet the demands of life. In order to be a true friend, you must first be true to yourself. You must know yourself well enough to first accept yourself and then begin to accept others for what they are and what they aren’t. Friends share com- mon interests. They share the need for acceptance. They also share hopes and dreams of times to come, experiences that no one else will ever know of. You will never be able to put a price on a true friend, for they are priceless. A true friend will help you to grow and mature into an indi- vidual and sail to your shore. Happy New Year.

What ' s It All About ? It ' s An Adult ' s World It’s an adults world. A world we will all soon be entering into. We are now stuck between two worlds — the world of children and the world of adults. As our journey takes us closer to the adult world, we begin looking back on our past relationships with adults hoping to find the secret of living in that new world. Parents are probably the most influencial people in our lives. They have taught us and loved us; however, looking back there were times when they were not always right in what they did. “Back in my day ...” Isn ' t that what mom and dad sometimes said? Remember when they would maybe lecture us on how easy our generation has it? Many times parents say these things without really realizing what they are saying. Really most parents do know what we are going through and how difficult life has become for us with all the pressures and problems we must face. Though there are exceptions. Many parents try to lead the lives of their teens. Should it be that way or should we be able to make decisions on our own? Those parents need to understand that teens are individuals and need to learn things by themselves. However, the support is still needed when something goes wrong. On the other hand, some parents realize that they should just sit back and let us lead our own lives. They share in our happiness when we accomplish our goals, but they also feel the pain when we fall. When we do fall, they are there to comfort and help us handle the hurt. Many times teens don’t realize all the wisdom their parents do possess. Many feel their parents don’t know what ' s going on. Though this may be • • • true in some parents, other parents have a true knowledge of what we are going through. In most cases they have been through it. As we get older, we gradually see how wise our parents really are. They are not as ignorant about life as we thought they were. Some parents are not willing or do not care to help their children through hard times. They are too wrapped up in their own lives to worry about someone else ' s. These parents are the kind that maybe should have thought twice before they had children, because they aren’t willing to give up part of their precious time to help their children grow up and become adults. This causes a lot of friction between some teens and their elders. When we speak of adults, just who are we speaking of? Parents? Bosses? Policemen? Teachers? All of them have some influence on our lives, but 28 It ' s Our World Too. . . . Do We Belong? they influence us in different ways. After our parents, teachers are the most influential people in our lives. They are really our first encounter with the adult world. When we were young we looked at teachers with a kind of awe. Mow, we understand that they don ' t know everything, but we respect them for the time they give us to teach us things that will make life easier. Some teachers don ' t seem to care about us. They are the ones who should have not become teachers. Most teachers, however, genuinely love what they do and care about their students. They give all they can to us to help our minds grow. Many are even willing t o give us more than knowledge, many sometimes offer friendship too. For most of our lives so far, we have been living in sort of an unreal world. Family and teachers have been our only real contact with the adult world. As we finally begin to break in the real world, we finally get in contact with many different types of adults like bosses and policemen. A boss is really the first person who takes a chance on us. They hire us not really knowing who we are or what we are like. They take a chance on us, but we have to prove ourselves or else they let us go. This is unlike our past experiences because parents and teachers almost always stuck by us. We did not have to really prove ourselves to them; they accepted us for what we were. Most bosses do care about us and they try all they can to help us make good. Some, however, do not spend the time to help. They expect us to do the job correctly right at the beginning. If we don ' t there is always someone else who can. Policemen, too, play a role in our lives. Some of us see them as sort of bad guys just trying to get us. But, that isn’t always so. Most policemen are not out to get us; they are only trying to look out for our interest. Sometimes they stop us before we really have a chance to do damage to ourself. Adults — for teens they are hard to understand. Many times we think they are all after us. We think “how can I ever live in their world? However, as we begin to open our minds and try to understand the adults in our lives; we see that they are human beings who for the most part, are trying to help us grow and achieve our goals. They are trying to help us make it in the new world we are about to enter — The world of Adults. WAR! Day after day the battle continues! The constant friction between dollars and sense. One major issue of war is whether to save for the future or spend now. Most students, or the troops, use the spending stragedy. One battle ground is the store. Every time you enter into this territory, the bucks battle. On the average, the store gains and the troops lose. How much? Well, the clothes department gains about 100 bucks a month. Then for the lady trooper, there are accessories such as earrings, rings, and necklaces topping the list. This gains about 50 bucks a month. Entertainment is another cause of this w ar. Everyone LOVES to be entertained! So, on the average the troops lose at least 40 bucks a month. Concerts, movies and recreation are what money is used for most. After the show, most troops attack the mess halls. Pizza is the main course on this menu. Although some venture to the higher ranked restaurants, such as SOB’s or maybe Maxwell Sweeneys. All this involved the GREEN! Seventy percent of these troopers hold working positions. The jobs entail putting in a 15 hour week. This takes away from the fighters free time. This also causes a loss of time spent on homework, which every trooper must face. If you ' re one of the lucky ones, the big ones on top (or your parents) will foot the bill. But most aren ' t that lucky! Artillary is needed in every war and this one ' s no exception. Almost every trooper owns, or dreams of owning, a tank. In order to make the tanks run, you need gasoline. And this takes the bucks. The price of this important supply has skyrocketed. But the troops must move on.

The races at tl.S. 30, provide live ly entertainment for young and old alike. Noon Break There is a mad rush for the cafeteria because it is lunch time. This year Highland has expanded in lunch selections, namely, the new salad bar. The salad bar addition provides fresh lettuce for a crunchy nutritional salad, plus all the toppings to make it a complete meal. The hot lunches are prepared and served as always by our trained cooks and kitchen helpers. A student favorite is making a quick purchase from the “junk” line, like cupcakes, apples, milk or an orange drink, and than a dash to the benches to eat with a group of fellow companions. Some students spend their lunch time studying for a quiz or catching up on some homework in the library. Do we take our lunch half hour for granted? Are you a student who is hungry as soon as you arrive at school or do you start getting hungry in that long class right before lunch? Or maybe you ' re the type who has a constant appetite? Why go without lunch when there is such a large selection of food. Take advantage of what is available in our cafeteria? Having a Salad. It seems Sharon Vincent is in the mood for luncheon salad. Wise Selection. Doug Clinkenbeard, chooses food to satisfy his hunger. Eating and Thinking. Sharon Gabor enjoys her lunch, as Francie Acer sits and thinks. THE CHpiMirS 100 Highland High School Highland, Indiana Volume 2, 1979-80 fads, fashions, Blind Dates, Disco? Problems, Powder Puff Crime And Uiolence, Oolf, friends, Jobs, The Pressure’s On free Time, Concerts Education Firsts Here we go again, round and round arguing over the same old subject. Since it is my life that’s at stake I think that it ought to be my decision, but unfortunately this doesn’t happen to be the case. Why is it that whenever we begin to discuss plans of our future, whether we want to continue or not, we sometimes have nothing to say about it. Before we were even born, our parents had the dream that we would someday go to college. From the day of our birth they begin to save up money. Maybe that is why our grades always seemed to be of so much importance to them? Most likely when you were young it was probably that you weren’t permitted to go outside until all your homework was done. All your studies had to be done in complete silence, no t elevision or radio. Unfortunately total silence was sometimes more distracting than too much noise. When we were younger we had big dreams of being doctors, policeman or even someday president. Now the younger kids don’t have such high goals set for themselves. They don’t have such achievements that would require a good education. They now dream of being television celebrities, professional athletes and other things. It doesn ' t seem like school seems to be of as much importance as it use to. During the seventies, a lot of changes have occured in the school systems. New and different classes are being offered. Class discussions bring more things into the open to students unaware of what ' s happening. Although there has been a great change in educational importance of the individual most of the changes of the seventies have been for the better. Hopefully with this advanced society classes will continue to provide advanced skills. With time will come opportunity. Life ... More Than Just Books. Experience is something you go through. It is something that happens to you. And you feel it. Experiences can be good or bad. They can be painful or exhilarating. Even painfully exhilarating. And they are a big part of our lives. Have you ever heard someone say “You learn from your experiences? This is so true. Everything you do is a learning experience. You can always learn — you are never too old or too wise. Wisdom comes from experience. Although you can learn from books and stories, the finest and most valuable lessons stem from experience. You can always learn more from actually being part of it than from just reading or hearing it. Experience is a good teacher but a bad master. One bad experience can turn you off from many good ones if you let it be your master. Experiences must each be handled in a different manner. There is almost never a clear-cut right or wrong answer. Many times people are afraid of experience. They don’t wish to be laughed at or to fail. Although fear can be a positive experience, I find that often a saying which comes to mind is the way to go — Don’t dream it — be it!! As they say, experience it. You’ll be glad you did. Viki Holycross RIGHTS? Adolescence is a time for maturation and responsibility; responsibilities that must be accepted before becoming an adult. Just as this is true, however, so it is true that teenagers have certain rights that we are often denied by adults. Teenagers also have the right to express themselves without condemnation from parents. Many adults believe our opinions are wrong, or worse yet, that we have no right to form them. In the same way, they think we cannot make any decisions on our own. Of course, when we are headed for trouble, they should offer some advice, but in these crucial high school years, we must be able to make some decisions ourselves, and thus make some mistakes to learn by. 34 Mini-Mag A Learning To Make . . . Decisions Own Educationthe equivocal word has different meanings for different groups of people. Nowhere is this more evident when referring to teens and adults. Many adults feel that a good education consists of going to school for six hours a day, taking notes, and getting good grades. Some parents even put pressure on their teenagers to attain superior marks so that they, the parents, can read their son ' s or daughter’s name in some prominent spot in a local newspaper. The parents have, in some cases, actually created an ego builder out of their teens ' education. Adults attest that they know what is best for us. But, do they really? We hold another view of education. Our educators should take us from where we are and help us to grow. But this is only one facet of the Of Our educational process. Many of us feel that the practical experience we gain in everyday life is much more valuable than anything we could read in a textbook. We need practical experience in order to deal with people in the real, unsheltered world that awaits us after graduation. We need to be allowed to make our own decisions-not always have someone telling us what is best. If we make a correct choice, we gain confidence in ourselves. If we make an unwise choice, we learn from it; learning is the reward for education. Obviously adults have been on this earth longer than we have. But, if we are to effectively improve tomorrow ' s world, we must be free to think; therefore, free to obtain a truly good education.

I begin my travels with the dawn of the sun, and as I continue my walk through the forest, my mind transcends to a new level, a level of reflection. I feel like the trees must feel. Old but beginning anew. I understand the frustration and anticipation of the trees which are just ready to blossom. Something seems to hold them and me back. Look how far I ' ve come. Growing. Becoming. It seems like forever, but it is only the beginning. Soon I will begin to bloom and fill out like the trees. Everyday will bring me closer to my goal. To grow until I’m full. To grow forever. Sue Furticella Mini-Mag 35 Music Rock Still Rock and Roll will never die. This past year has probably been rock’s finest. The emergence of bands such as Molly Hatchet, The Romantics, Judas Priest and Dyllyngyr have excited the airwaves with their music. And great new efforts by some old favorites didn ' t hurt the cause either. Led Zepplin ' s, In Through The Outdoor” gave us their first single since the classic Stairway to Heaven.” Pink Floyd ended years of silence with The Wall.” This double album was number one on the rock charts for over two months. Supertramp released one of their better efforts with “Breakfast in America.” Other favorites to make a mark in the music world were Neil Young ' s Live Rust, Santana ' s Maraton,” Aerosmith’s Night in the Ruts, Van Halen 2, and “Permanent Waves from Rush. Much of the music news was found on the concert scene. Perhaps the most infamous concert took place in Cincinnati, where eleven people were trampled to death by their peers in December. The Who went on with the show and the I told you so ' s” ran rampant. Rush sold out two spectacular shows in under two hours at the Amphitheater, and many of us saw the stage show of our lives when Lives On Judas Priest manhandled the Hammond Civic Center in October. Summer Jam 2 at Comisky Park featured Rush, Foghat, and The Tubes. Many spent A Day In The Park with Journey, Santana, Thin Lizzy, Molly Hatchet and Eddie Money. But probably the biggest event to take place in Comisky Park was the Disco Demolition” sponsored by The Loop and led by the crazed Steve Dahl. Over 10,000 disco records were literally blown-up real good in center field. A mass gathering followed and the second game of the doubleheader was forfeited. Disco has not been the same since. Doug Jones My Friend You are my friend for many reasons, Many of which are hard to explain. You are there when I ' m feeling pain, You are there when I ' m feeling low, You are there when I ' m feeling fine. That ' s just a few reasons why you are a friend of mine. Even though we have our share of fights. Which might produce some restless nights. Regardless of how bad either one of us is hurting, We seem to find it in each other to forgive. So, as long as you ' re you and I ' m me, You ' ll be my friend forever! Tammy Topor Music Makes Your Mood Music that people listen to varies from day to day. it all depends upon the moods they experience. For every mood, there is a different kind of music to accompany it. Whenever the mood of depression sets in, the music usually changes to a soft, slow type. This kind of music tells stories of sadness and love, which makes you want to stay in your mellow mood. It seems no matter how hard you try, you just don ' t want to listen to that fast, showy kind of music. You need easy listening lyrics to help ease your frustrations. When listening to Bread, Neil Diamond, and Barry Manilow, the mood of relaxation comes calmly through a sea of depression. If you are going to a basketball game and a dance, you want to get yourself psyched-up in order to have a good time. You need that special kind of music that makes you want to go out and dance. The type that puts you in a good mood and keeps you there. If you are getting ready to go out, listen to some cheerful music. It will start your evening and mood off just right. So, whether it’s disco or rock, country or jazz, music reflects the moods you are feeling. The rhythm and lyrics echo your thoughts and emotions in each and every word that they produce. Patty Jones Finding Ourselves!! Happiness Is Eating chocolate chip ice-cream with a friend on a hot summer day. Stomping on puddles after a spring rain. Going on the Tital Wave at Great America. Skiing down a hill for the first time without falling. It’s sharing a secret with your best friend. Getting asked to prom by a guy you’ve admired from a far. Sitting on Santa’s lap. Getting the last red balloon from the balloon man. It ' s sharing a sunset with someone you love. Playing the guitar on a starry spring night. It ' s smelling the leaves of fall. Trying to catch snowflakes with your tongue. Making a snowman. It ' s having a snowball fight. It’s getting a surprise birthday party. Going to a carnival. Talking the night through with a friend. Discovering a talent. Getting the car on Saturday night. Getting licked by 1 your new puppy dog. It ' s making a wish on the first star of the night. Happiness is . . . Who Am I? Who am I? Where am I going? Questions of the mind. Questions that become more intense as we approach the end of our illusion and enter into life. School has offered us a chance to grow not only education wise, but soul and mind wise. It made us question who we were and it has tried to make where we’re going an easier path. We’ve met people in our passing that have brought out our talent. That have loved us and made us feel like someone. They have given us the courage to look deep inside ourselves, to find the sensitivity, love, and strength our soul contains. People in our lives have helped us to find a path to go on. Sometimes they ' ve led us astray. Most, however, have given us a chance to see the light at the end of the trail, and that helped us go on. They picked us up when we fell and made it seem worthwhile to go on and reach our goal which is life. Now we have to leave these people behind and count on ourselves for awhile. We have to believe in who we are and in where we are going. We’ve got to build the person we are and try to make ourselves better. To prepare ourselves to lead each other to who they are and to the right path. Along the way we will continue to find new friends that will enhance our lives and make them stronger. They will lead us to a deeper and deeper understanding of ourselves which will help make the journey easier. We will continue to change the answers of who we are and where we are going. The people that have touched us will leave an ever changing answer to that question.

With the warm breeze from the sea. He holds me closer to him. With the sun setting at the skyline I get the feeling something special will happen. He puts his arms around me, Then it happens; He whispers. I love you. ' ' and kisses me Looking back at him I whisper I love you. too. Smiling at each other; we turn toward the water and sit in the sand. He takes my hand in his. And not another word is spoken. Tammy Topor For Eternity If I could take all the times we ' ve been together, I would take them and play that part of my life over again for eternity. If I were able to give you what you deserve, I know I would not live long enough To even come close because you ' re so special. But the only thing that I have. Are the photographs and memories of you, Which show only how much you mean to me. Every time I have any problems. I know Not to worry, because you ' re always There holding out your arms to comfort me. Everytime I look Into your eyes. The only thing I want to say is, I Love You. Just You and Me! Enjoying each other ' s friendship, Donna Bauer and Chuck Dupin find moments together very special. I stepped gingerly out of the classroom anxiously looking for that feathered head of hair that always looks good no matter how messy it is. I rounded the corner nervously, barely listening as my friend chattered away, but always looking, searching, scanning. The moment was drawing near. He would be midway down the hall as I round this corner. I knew this from day-to-day figuring of the past semester, dealing with who was where at what time. In, out, in, out I whispered as I tried to still my fluttering heart. Indeed, it did feel like fluttering in my stomach; there were definitely butterflies there. This was happening when I hadn ' t even seen those happy eyes, that adorable smile and handsome face. I cringe to think how I’ll act after I see him. Oh, My gosh! There he is! Chin up, Jane. Courage! Courage! I try to act normally, well, as normal as I can act, anyway. One more step and we ll be in “communication distance.” Oh, no! That girl just walked in front of him, blocking my view of him. All that for nothing! My day is wasted! Hi, Jane! I jerk my head to find that gorgeous face grinning at me from atop and around the girl. Hi!” I flash my best oh-my-gosh-l-didn ' t-realize-you- were-there-CIItra Brite smile in his direction. I try fervently to regain my composure that he absolutely destroyed while being oblivious of his effect on me. Realizing who just said hi to me, Him! I blush to the very roots of my hair and smile contentedly. Throughout the day, already forgotten by him, I tell my friends the good news, whether they care or not, all the while smiling proudly. Sitting in a boring class, I recall the moment and begin to smile as a cat does after finishing an entire bowl of cream. Happiness is a Hi! from him to make my day. It ' s not love; it ' s just my thrill. By: Jane Skrentny Mini-Mag It’s You Me “Absence makes the heart grow fonder? This is the hope of many couples dating long distance. Couples may be separated for many reasons. One partner may decide to go to college while the other stays in their home town. Or, maybe one has moved out of the town with his or her family. This does not mean that the relationship can’t survive. Keeping in touch by letters and phone calls is a way to show the other person that although they ' re not with you, you’re still thinking of them. At the same time you must allow the person to grow and change in the time he spends away from you. Sometimes it will hurt you to see the other change and you might not totally understand why the change has occured. You must realize that they are in a different environment and are meeting new and different people from the ones you both know together. One big disadvantage of dating someone that is not always near is that both happy and sad times cannot be shared with the person you care about. Nothing is more comforting that a person to laugh with, or a shoulder to cry on. On holidays and brithdays, no one likes being alone. If it is not impossible to be with them on these occasions, it is at least better to call and let them know that we care and want to be with. Vacations and weekends should be planned so time is spent together. Many couples may find relationships like these are happier and tend to last longer. The time they do spend together is very important and happy for them. This form of relationship gives each partner a chance to develop individually, and at the same time keep a separate part of their time for the special person in their lives. By: Heather Hughes speciN. Dear Kelly, Friend, reminiscing with the gang about the past makes us only think of you. We are always wondering what is like up there in Pennsylvania. We all hope you have made many new friends because your happiness is still very important to us. Everyone here is still the same. On Friday nights, we still get together to go to the game and then out to eat. We ' ve never made it through a day without someone mentioning your name, or referring back to a time when you were here. There are also the silent moments, when all you can hear is the heartbeat of the one sitting next to you grow more rapidly. It is as though everyone is on another planet, but actually we are all just thinking of you. Kelly, even though you are hundreds of miles away, it seems as though you are right here with us sharing in our experiences. When we meet again we will have new experiences to tell one another.

FRICMDS Whenever we receive a letter from you, it always seem to brighten up even the darkest days. Even though we were forced to drift apart, it is our old and continuous friendship that means the most to us. We have all had friends move away in the past, and we hardly ever keep in touch with them anymore, but from everyone here in Highland we want you to know that we love and miss you very much. We are also waiting for your return. Well, it’s getting late now- tonight and every night we all say a prayer for you, from the gang back home. Ever since you moved away, love, friendship and happiness are just a few things we lack, and we say Kelly Hurry Back. Love you, The Gang SOUNDS FUN! Heather Horsewell and Andy Shat- tuck make plans for Saturday afternoon 39 Fashion . . . What’s Right For You? Your Style Clothes are they a blessing or a curse? With designer mini skirts in L.A. and second skin European jeans in New York, it can be confusing about which way to go. What is vogue can vary from person to person, and each individual has his or her own tastes. Wear what you like and what con- forms to your life style. Satin slacks or a slinky disco dress does not go over well in school. With just five major articles of cloth- ing like a blazer, a blouse, a skirt, a sweater, and a pair of pants, you can come up with at least ten different ap- pealing and interchangable outfits. Accessories are anything that com- pletes an outfit. Shoes, hats, ties, scarves, belts, combs, jewelry, and more. These are perhaps the most im- portant part of your wardrobe. You can switch a skirt and jacket, add a tie, and change the look of the basic apparel. If you don ' t feel comfortable in your clothes, then you probably won’t feel too great mentally. Don’t copy someone elses style. Dress for you and your life- style, and feel good. Jane Coover 40 Mini Mag Step ' in out. Jane Coover prefers the causal look when going out for an evening.

Anticipating The 80 ’s We ' ve anticipated the 80 ' s, and finally they’ve arrived. It’s a new decade with new interests, trends, fads, fashions, and styles. Let ' s start with fashions. What ' s in, out, and predicted for the 80 ' s? For the last couple of years, what fashion critics and advisors have been saying about clothes is that anything goes . For most of us that just isn’t good enough. We are concerned and careful about what we wear. Lately, However, the hemlines have been varying. Our last year skirts and dresses exceeded the knees, while this year we see the hemlines rapidly rising; but not daring ascend the knees more than two inches, at least not yet. Recently, the conserative suits have derived a less serious tone by adding a revealing slit and shortening the length. Also, the classic tailored blazor has been tappered and again shortened to draw attention to the waist. The new Quiana and silk blouses with rolled, Peter Pan, or lapel collars have been paired under the blazer for after 5 . Unfortunately, vests were here and gone. They made the scene and are slowly fading, for both men and women. In their place are sieveless V- neck sweaters. Hemlines may go up or down, and heels may come in and out; however; the 80 s will leave behind a fashion of their own. Sherri Hamilton Ins And Outs OS The 70’s Fashion changes as fast as the weather, and the 70’s accent this change as we move along into the 80s. The 70 ' s saw the mini come in and go out. Levi ' s weren ' t good enough for us; we had to have the fashion jeansVanderbilt, Bonjour, Calvin Cline. Tailored pantsuits came in with the liberated woman. Now the liberated woman is adding feminity to her wardrobe with daring slits and plunges. T-Shirts played an important part in the 70 ' s. They displayed the important news of the decade along with pooking fun at our own ingorance. “Skylab Missed Me, and “I survived the blizzard of 79,” made us laugh at ourselves. Although we went through many changes in the 70 ' s it only the beginning of things to come in the ' 80’s. It seems only yesterday that I first walked into this school . . . Now it ' s over. I walked in with no security — feeling like a nobody — Scared to ■ talk to new people. People entered into my life, changed my life. I began to grow to see the good things in me. I tried to pull all the good things out, tried to hide the bad. It was hard to let that person out. I was hurt; yet, there were happy memories from my growing. 1 finally am really becoming in my individuality. I’m a somebody. I’m ready to go on now. I’m scared — what’s ahead of me? Someday maybe I ' ll find security again. Do I want to? There is excitement in the unknown. It ' ll be a change to live from day to day. The future holds a lot for me. It holds my life. It is the master of my soul and mind. It is a mystery I will live into. Sue Furticelia HAPPINESS IS What is happiness? How does one aquire it? Where does it come from? Happiness is whatever makes you tick, whatever brings about a smile or causes you to laugh. It’s the urge that keeps you going. It is the man made energy, and it is free! Or is it? The saying goes “You can ' t get nothing for nothing, so what is the price? Pain-but some believe that pain only goes as deep as the joy, so then things equal out . . . right? Wrong-the pain seems to be more predominate, more intense. But, for the most part it doesn ' t keep anyone down. How do you aquire happiness? Happiness just comes to you. It ' s a feeling in your heart, a warm glowing feeling. Winning an award, being in a play, or sharing good times with a friend. Being noticed, reaching a goal, or touching down on love. Happiness can be anything as long as it is important to you. You are the key to your happiness. Ever wonder who the really happy people are? Could it be the shy boy that slides through the halls, or the outgoing girl whose presence can be felt? Maybe it is the in between girl that proudly makes the B Honor Roll, or even the sports minded guy that brings in the winning points. Whatever happiness is it’s a great feeling and worth the effort. Everyone needs happiness. Without it life becomes dull and loses it’s purpose. Happiness is something that life cannot be complete without. To not experience happiness is to miss out on life and after all that ' s what were here for-TO LIVE. Charlene Meyer “FN1 h LOT LMGLY” It seems I fall on my face an awful lot lately. Maybe I just notice it more. Yet, I also notice everytime I stand up again I seem to be taller. Maybe I notice myself falling more because the fall is farther. Everytime I fall, the fall is longer. The time between my tripping and my hitting the ground seems longer and more drawn out. Yet falling is such a natural process. We all fall down time and time again. Yes, some of us fall more than others; but we all fall down. When we are young, we fall and skin our knees. It hurts, but it heals and is soon forgotten. Then we fall again, but in a different way. We begin to take emotional falls. We take our first fall and it seems like the end of our world. We cry and wish the world would stop so that we could get off. Then, alone or with others ' help, we realize the world will continue and life goes on. We see that in 5 years time, or 5 weeks time, for that matter, it will no longer be important. We cheer up and plod onward. Yet, we take still another fall and feel that way all over again. Only maybe this time we didn’t fall on our own. We were tripped by someone. And we stand up and dust ourselves off and begin again. We also begin to learn. We begin to und erstand through personal experience, hurt, and pain. We begin to understand the feelings of others. We begin lessons of life. “Falling on your face builds character. Those words have been said and proven many times. Yet, as you’re laying face down in the dirt they don’t help. But once you stand up, you begin to realize the truth in these words. You find that you can help others from your experiences. And it ' s a good feeling. Thank you, person who tripped me. You helped me grow. Viki Holycross 42 Mini Mag A Mike McCullough Trying To Keep Up Total Honesty 1 believe people can care about people. We can be at totally opposite extremes, and still be friends .

Racquetball is the favorite of many, while others work out on the weights, or jog on the indoor track. Along with the new, some still enjoy the more established forms of recrea- tion. Motor cross is for the rugged indi- vidual who appreciates a challange and adventure. Many thrills can be found at the O ' Day pits in Griffith. Also for ad- venture, many enjoy water skiing, downhill snow skiing, horseback riding, snowmobiling and canoeing. Action is also found in less dangerous sports such as Tennis, bowling, golf. swimming acrabatics, and gymnastics. Most of these activities require a very small amount of equipment, while they provide for a relaxing type of sport. For a taste of the pioneer days, many escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life by taking time out in the wilder- ness. Whether it is hunting, fishing, or just simply walking though the woods, much enjoyment can be experienced through nature. Although most of the above are great, most people agree that “pickup games with a group of friends is the most fun through competition. Baseball, football, volleyball, basketball, and Hockey are among the favorite ways for a group of kids to have a good time. So whether it ' s in an expensive sports complex, out in the country, or in a friend ' s backyard, the thrills of sports are always with us. SPLASH!

Mini Mag Sports 45 BRINGING OUT TH£ B€ST As we begin a new decade, even to the most unimaginative minds pop questions of what this decade will bring. With those questions quickly cornes the awesome realization that ■ we ourselves, not our parents or grandparents, hold the future. What roles will we play in this unknown future. It appears that we are an average roup of teenagers with strengths and Weaknesses; however, little does the casual observer realize that under a facade of carefree indifference lie individuals with untapped potential just waiting to be challenged. What will be needed to elicit these latent abilities? Will it take an epidemic of unparallelled destruction to bring forth the scientist capable of discovering a cure? Will the shadow of a third World War draw forth military leadership and avenues of diplomacy as yet undreamed of? On the other hand, will young men ' s blood be shed in a war unlike arfy other? Also, will a nuclear war end the technological world we now know? What this decade holds, no one is quite sure; many even refuse to speculate on it. One thing is certain, however. We will be part of it. Whether we will make positive or negative contributions, in our roles we hold the key to the future. Amy Coolidge The Proper Attitude How many times have you been told by a teacher or parent that you don ' t have the proper attitude ? It seems that adults are constantly stressing the import ance of attitude, and rightly so. In order to accomplish any goal, it is necessary to take a positive and optimistic position toward your work, which is exactly what attitude is: the position and state of mind one has when setting out to accomplish something. With a healthy and proper attitude, you have a definite goal in mind; you are working toward a specific end with every intention of accomplishing your work to the best of your ability. You are willing to respond to new ideas and suggestions with an open mind. You take pride in what you are doing. You carry through until the end — for there will always be some things that you will find more tedious and less enjoyable than others; but with the proper attitude you will always finish what you have started. So take a minute to think about your attitude. If you are always thinking negatively, you ' re probably not performing to the best of your ability, and whether you realize it or not, it shows in almost everything you do. You’re not being fair to yourself or others. Tammy Dillman Loneliness Seemingly hard to see. when the moon is covered. Openly you scream to the stars. Loudly the world is silent, and it is said you are never alone. 46 Mini-Mag ■ JL Movies, Movies, Almost all successful movies produce new trends and fads. Their popularity starts a wave of exciting, new ideas for the public to pick up on. In the early 70’s, disaster movies hit the screen in complete sensaround. ‘The Towering Inferno” The Poseidon Adventure”, Earthquake , and then a chain of Airport” films made people ' s troubles turn into big dollars. The latest group of films include the science fiction trends. When “Star Wars” came out, it started one of the biggest fads of the 70 ' s. Buttons, posters, and T-shirts with May the Force be with You became more and more common. Then Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1979’s “Star Trek have added more space fun to the film credits. Other films, including Saturday Night Fever , “Animal House , and Grease , have made such things as disco, food fights, toga parties, slick pants, and Candies shoes popular. The music scene has improved greatly because of movie soundtracks such as “Rocky”, Hair”, and You Light Up My Life . There were even two big rock operas in the 70 ' s. “Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar were chart toppers. Monster movies also made it back into the picture. Many other creature films popped up after Jaws . Some of those being “Grizzly”, “ Nightwing , and the smash remake of “King Kong . In the past few years, many Vietnam pictures have entered into the box office. With Coming Home and “Apocalypse Now”, many people ' s thoughts have returned to this particular time period. There are many different types of movies, but they all reflect our way of living. by Patty Jones N.L n h DfcY The alarm clock went off at 7:30. Fran woke up startled. In five minutes bus 4 would be passing by her house and stopping at the corner to pick up her neighbors and take them to school. She was no where near ready. After rushing around, getting dressed, and running to school, Fran finally made it and only ten minutes late. Then her first hour teacher told the class that they were going to have a pop quiz. What else could go wrong?? By lunchtime Fra n had her answer. Pizza was being served for lunch and of course the line was long. Fran saw her best friend near the front of the line. So, she decided to take cuts. Good idea, right? WRONG! She got caught Fran has to go to the end of that long, long, line. Because of this, she was late to class again! All of the classes she has after lunch were just about as bad as her whole day. It seemed as though every teacher picked on her. Finally, after a long hard day of tedious problems, Fran got to go home. She got into her car, and what else? It wouldn ' t start. Fran ended up waiting two hours for her Dad to come and fix it. By the time Fran got home, she was fed up with everything and everyone. She found herself talking back to her parents and just being plain rude. She also found herself grounded for a week because of her attitude. As Fran laid down to go to sleep, she found it hard to even think about tomorrow and all the problems it would bring. The next morning, Fran ' s alarm clock went off right on time at seven. She rolled over, turned it off, and went back to sleep. Don’t we wish it was always that easy? Patty Jones Movies! 4 POP CORN JJ 4 MONDAY? Did you ever have one of those days that felt like a Monday but really wasn’t? Your head is throbbing and your stomach is crying for relief? You take a couple of Alka-Seltzers but the lousiness doesn ' t fade away at all. How great it would feel to crawl back in bed and forget that school even exists! But, “You will have a very important test tomorrow — so don ' t be absent” keeps echoing throughout the corners of your mind. You drag yourself around the house getting ready. The first thing you hear when you get to school is your best friend telling you that you don ' t look too good. All you can say is “Gee, thanks!” As the hours pass, the contempt for your thoughtless 6th hour teacher keeps growing and growing inside of you. The treacherous sixth hour has finally arrived. One glance at the dreaded test confirmed your basic feeling that you should have stayed home. Ann Jasaitis ■ 47 SPGfcK €hSY - SP€hK OUT Dear Editor, Believing in yourself. Not being afraid to speak out, for fear of what others may think. I guess this is my message to all the students at Highland High School. What you think and believe should be the most important aspect in your life. Who cares what the next person may think! Who cares if they disagree! Every person in this world is different. It’s funny, for you never would know it. People follow into crowds faster than anything on this earth. They fall to the need of being wanted, FITTING IN. Think about it. YOU make your life, and in a discreet way, your best friend should be yourself. Starr Ann Perko Dear Editor, Are High School sports worth it? Some say they are. On the pro side, sports can offer a chance for some to further their education by earning a college scholarship. In addition high school sports provide the opportunity to increase one ' s self confidence and to learn to get along with fellow students. On the con side, high school sports may cause severe injury which could affect a person for the rest of his life. Sports also require a great deal of time outside of school which may interfere with the social life and academic studies of a student. Yvonne Nunez Jim Webb Dear Editor, There is a little five-letter word in the English language that is easy to spell and easy to say and behind it lies a whole wealth of meaning. Trust. It is seen every day and most of us experience it daily. Whether it be between mother and daughter, husband and wife, friend and friend, or even fireman and victim. It is still as important and intense. Trust can be taken for granted very easily and only missed when it is gone. When on the verge of losing someone ' s trust, stop to think. Would the relationship or you be the same? If the answer is no, do anything and everything in your power to preserve and protect this special thing. After all, I believe I love you” and “I trust you involve and are almost the same things. Jane Skrentny Dear Editor, What ever happened to those intra- mural sports we used to know and love? We had them in grade school and some in junior high, but in high school none. We have swimming on Tuesday night, but that can ' t be clas- sified as intramural because it isn’t just for our high school students, you pay every time you come, and it isn ' t very competitive. There should be something else to supplement the swimming, something for the guys and girls. It wouldn’t be awfully hard to set these games up, especially after we had them at one time. The last intramural failed for a number of solvable problems. These include shortages of faculty mem- bers and funds, failure by the stu- dents to follow established rules, lack of scorekeepers and timers, and scheduling problems with our school teams. The only thing needed here is money, and that isn’t too hard to raise in this school. Just send the kids out with M M’s like everyone else. Then they can pay the teachers and scorekeepers and everyone would be happy. Dave Leslie Dear Editor, Creativity, a good imaginative mind, easy going, people willing to give a lot, and personality make up the members of the shield staff. Showing their talent and proving it to be fantastic the ' 80 Shield created one yearbook with many moods, special moments, and important dates in it. Not everybody likes everything that goes in the making of th e yearbook, in fact among the staff many hours of debating occur before making any final decisions. We know we cannot please everybody, but we try our very best! The J Room, the place where it happens, is a very warm and friendly place. There are days when the smiles are replaced by frowns, and the laughter is replaced by tears, but that is only because there is a deadline due that day. There is one room and a thousand ideas, one book and a hundred people making it, but somehow we all seem to work together and make up a yearbook, to me, that is next to perfect. There are mistakes, but we all try out very best to please you all. Try looking deeper than the pictures of your friends, the cutlines, or the copy, try to understand and relate to the meaning of a page, because some very special people worked together for days, weeks, if not longer to come up with a page that is more than pictures and words! I would like to say to the staff, that it took us a whole year, but we made it! Thanks; we should all be very proud. And Thank You. Miss Mayer, for hanging in there with us. I know there are times when you would like to walk out on us, like the time the sink overflowed, or the big deadlines when the question was, Will it be done?” But we did it and thanks to you, it was a pleasure.

John Albright and Cheryl Lewandowski were chosen King and Queen to reign over the winter formal, while Saturday Night Special set teens hopping to many disco tunes. Other members of the court were Martin Bilderbeck, Kathy Jones, Jeff Hines, Jennifer Jones, MaryLou Morgan, Keith Kerber, Tracy Strong, Bob Alcorn, Linda Newman, and Mark Zatlokowicz. While some couples spent most of the night on the floor or talking with friends, others spent a quiet night in each other ' s company. It was a night that will be remembered by every couple who attended. Fantasy ' 79 was held at the Serbian Hall in Merrillville.

For us, these events seem unreal, old history; but they are all things that happened in the ’70’s — Our decade. As we were growing, the country was trying to catch hold of itself after the turmoil and change of the 60’s. The Vietnam War was still in full swing and the end was no where in sight. In April of 1970, President Nixon ordered the invasion of Cambodia. During the early 70’s, there were continued demonstrations at many colleges and universities condemning the war and draft. One such demonstration, at Kent State in Ohio, led to the murder of 4 students by National Guardsmen. Finally, in 1973 an end was brought to the War with the Treaty of Paris. This ended a war; however, there was a spirit to rebuild within the heart of the American people. This was not to come so easy, though. In 1974 it happened — the first time a United States President was to resign his office. President Nixon resigned just days before impeachment proceedings were to begin on his involvement in the Watergate Scandal of 1972. The scandal involved a break in into the Democratic Headquarters at the Watergate Building and a coverup by top government officials, possibly including the President. President Gerald Ford took the reigns after Nixon ' s downfall, but he was left with his own battle to conquer. Inflation began to ontogon Papers energy crisis . . . OPEC . . Gerald Ford imed Ali ...

Joh 73 3 a -o O tO c a ' m 7= 5 p E? a n skyrocket, especially as oil prices took off from a mere few dollars a barrel to twenty and thirty dollars a barrel. 1976 brought us a new president, Jimmy Carter, and a grand birthday celebration. It was our 200th birthday. Throughout the country, people were able to forget about inflation and gas shortages and just enjoy the year’s festivities. The celebration didn ' t linger very long afterwards, however. Inflation began to hit the double digit figures. We began to watch our economyi grow worse and worse. Where were we to turn. For some, religion or cults seemed the answer. It seemed as though every street corner and airport harbored an army of “moonies or Hare Krishnas.” Cults may have been the way for some; however, people began to question them after the Jonestown Massacre. There in Guyana, about 1000 members of the Peoples Temple, headed by Rev. Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking Kool-Aid laced with cyanide. The ' 70 ' s also saw the rise of the Women’s Movement. Women started holding marches and demonstrations protesting their unfair treatment, and they were effective. During the past ten years, there has been much fairer treatment of women in many areas including the work force. An Equal Rights Amendment is even close to being passed. The 70’s were a time for Americans to pick themselves up and start anew, and by the end of the decade, we were beginning to do just that. Pet rocks, pop rocks, yo- yo’s, frozen yogurt, disco, and rollerskating all helped us to forget some of the problems that we faced. We began to use computers to make our lives easier, and a calculator became a must for any student. Americans also became very health conscious during the 70’s. Ten speed bikes and silk jogging suits became common items for most of us. There was also a war between health food and junk food. We went through a lot in the 70’s; and inspite of it all, we made it through on top. But where do we go from here? Only time can tell. 9 . — i i � IT o 0 on . . Jane Bryne Star Wars ...

The Lyric Opera House, in Chicago, is one of the main events open to the whole music department. This years attraction was La Bohemne”. It is presented by the finest opera preformers and orchestral members. This gives the students an opportunity to experience the more classical art of music. The Choral Festival is an event looked forward to by every member of the choir. Every year, high schools from all over the country, join together for an evening of music. The music preformed is practiced by each school separately. Then, when the evening arrives, all students join together to form one mass choir. It is an experience remembered by all! A lot of work goes into each number. Mr. Wilder, the devoted choir director, practices each piece to perfection. Scales, chords and Solfedge, are the main ingredients to learning. Aside from concerts, each year the choir performs a major musical. Many hours each evening are put in by the cast and other members. This years selection was Music Man. Chamber singers is a group of 16 members. These players perform the latest modern compositions. The choir is an organization which combines work, learning and enjoyment. To the members, it is more than a class. Conducting ' s my business! Mr. Wilder brings out his tux for an evening of music. 52 Music A Beautiful Noise Candlelight Glow.

Hoisting Sails Hoist the sails. Our first journey is about to begin. For the past fourteen years, we have been preparing for our first journey- High school. Our course is completely mapped out for us, and we have familiar companions to make the going easy. As freshman, we know what will be expected of us, since this journey will be basically the same as others we have been on. But, we begin to expect and want new things from ourselves. We begin to see ourselves grow. Unique and terrific individuals are starting to bloom within ourselves. Confidence is starting to take hold uf us; though, we are still a bit insecure. We don’t quite know our way around; nor, do we know many different people. We hang on to our old friends and hold back on making new ones for fear of rejection. New routines and ways of doing things have to be established. We start to set down roots to make the journey easier. As we move farther into our freshman year, we begin to attempt to meet new people. They add new color to our lives. We also get the old routines down pat. We see what is expected of us and we now know many ways to meet these expectations. Most of all by the end of that first year, we know ourselves better. We start to set goals for ourselves and start putting out future in perspective. We begin to feel success and start pushing to go on just as a ship who has successfully left the port and is now ready to challenge the sea. LOOKING AHEAD.

I’m now a big freshman! It’s really funny though, how I feel about it. When I was in junior high, I sort of looked up to the freshmen thinking they were “big high schoolers. But now that I’m a “big high schooler I don’t feel that way any more. The school is easy to get adjusted to and the teachers are easy to get along with. The homework isn’t that hard and there isn ' t that much. Now as I look around at the sophomores, juniors, and seniors, they don ' t pay much attention to the newly arrived freshmen. I guess they do that because when they were freshmen, the juniors, seniors, and sophomores did that to them, too. The first week that I was here, I felt totally lost. There are twice as many rooms and more hallways that seem to go on and on. There are a lot more places to get lost in, too. It ' s also more crowded. I kept getting caught up in a crowd that was going the opposite way of my next class. Trying to turn back was like going against a water current. Everyone seemed taller than me. The crowd broke and I finally could see where to go. Well, I really like being a part of the high school and I will be a part of it for the rest of my life. Being a freshman isn’t as bad as everyone says it is, but if it were up to me, I would rather be a senior!! Yolanda Balogh, Roseanne Macek, Kim Mazrimas Jill Aumiller, Madeline Bach, Mike Bach.

This year the English department had eleven new teachers. They helped the department head, Mr. Larry Stuber, stress composition, grammar, and literature in every class. Themes every six week grading period, use of the Warriner’s grammar texts, and the reading of several plays and novels are a part of every English class. Aside from taking the English course, the Class of ’82 and every class after is required to take a communications class. The purpose of this class is to help students learn to speak better and to overcome the fear of speaking to crowds. Other classes of the English department are Journalism, Speech, Debate, and Radio and T.V. There are also clubs; Drama Club, headed by Mr. Randy Lemon, and Auditorium Staff, Speech and Debate are a few. Make-tip Mistakes.

You too can share in the fun and excitement the Highland High School social studies department has to offer. The Social Studies department offers more than the requirements of U.S. History for juniors and for seniors, Government Economics. It offers in addition to these classes: Psychology, Sociology, and World History. The department offers a basic, yet wide field of studies of the past, present and the inner studies of social life. Many people think that the Social Studies classes are boring. They are . . . only if a person lets himself believe that. When a person takes these classes seriously he may then see how interesting they may be. Valuable lessons could be learned from past experiences in history and studies of social life. Mr. Eugene Kelly is the head of the department. Mr. Michael Boskovich, Mr. Porter Evans, Mr. Douglas Fraiinger, Mr. Gene Kelly, Mr. Robert D. Miller, Mr. Gregory Petrin, Mr. R.B. Sheets, and Mr. Michael Sunny composed the entire Social Studies Department. They do their best to make social studies more interesting for Highland High school students. Wrapped Up.

Math: It’s More Than Numbers Math is more than an over- accumulation of fixed numerals. It is a system of equations which leads to the key of locked doors overcoming barriers to new horizons in learning. Mathematics is an entirely different, yet, international language. The Mathematics Department does not offer all of the knowledge neede d to get a full understanding of this new concept, but it does offer a good head start if a career in a math-based skill is desired. The High school Math Dept, has a wide range of classes beginning with practical math, going on to pre-algebra, data processing. Algebra 1-2, Geometry, Algebra 3-4, Trig., and wrapping it up with Calculus. Students are not required to take more than one year of a math, but many go ahead and take the maximum of six math classes. Majoring in math in high school leaves much more room for career opportunities than any other subject. There are many occupations that a math major, accompanied by a science major, can offer. These are high-paying fields, such as all types of engineering, accounting, physics, biology, chemistry, and countless others. There will always be a need for people with a good knowledge in the art of math. The Math Department also refuses to let a graduate enter into the outside world without the needed mathematical skills. There is an aptitude test given to juniors. If the student’s score is not up to par, he or she is obligated to take a senior practical math course. Mr. Mel Anderson, heading a staff of competent teachers, leads the students of Highland High School through the Mathematics division of learning. Nathan Hertz.

What is time: Why is it that if you drop this book, it will fall to the ground and not hover in the air? Men like Galileo and Einstein have asked questions such as this throughout the existence of the human race. Persons like Mr. Farley and Mrs. Mason may not be other Einsteins or Galileos, but they give a good head start to some student who may be the next famous genius known to man. The Science Department can be a great help toward achieving the basic requirements needed to study a science-based skill in college. Highland High School has a better-than- average Science Department. For those just entering the science curriculum, there is General Science progressing to Biology and pick and choose Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, along with their advanced counterparts. The scientific fields can be the most fascinating. They are filled with people who always ask “Why? “Why is that so?” “I want to see proof! When these questions are answered, scientific quests into the mysteries of the universe may be satisfied. WEIGHING IT OGT.

The many classes offer techniques useful in the business world. Typing, shorthand, notehand, and clerical practice teach a student the basic rudiments of secretarial work. Personal typing teaches a student who does not wish to enter the business field the basics of this skill. The mathematical part of this field is just as important. The classes offered are Accounting, which teaches how to keep books and perform other mathematical jobs; General Business, how to keep a checking account and the importance of different insurances; Business Machines, how to operate office machinery; Merchandising, marketing and distribution; Salesmanship, the fundamentals of making a sale; and Business Law, legal rights. The business classes open one ' s eyes to the future. STUDYING HARD. Trying to remember all the letters, Carol Jarret readies herself for the upcoming shorthand test. ON YOUR MARK. GET SET. GO!

Home Economics prepares the student, male as well as female, for future homemaking. This class teaches the basic fundamentals of cooking and sewing. As hard as it may seem to believe many people are lost in the kitchen or when they are set behind a sewing machine. This is the purpose of Home Economic classes. These courses set a solid base for learning the basics. If you want there are classes to further your studies in Home Economics. A class that was once only considered by girls gives the guys a break from mechanics and woodshops. Nevertheless, someday their knowledge gained from these courses may come in handy. With so many women working now a days the guy may have to cook or clean house. Home Economics class gives it’s students the needed skills to prepare a meal and keep a house running smoothly. They’re fun classes for all homemakers. 69 Working hard. Jeff Good is doing what he likes to do best; he is earning money at Burger ' s Grocery Store. Times of Crisis.

Many kids are anxious to get jobs, but somehow the responsibilities that accom- pany a job immediately turn them off. They are too time consuming for some. They inter- fere with any kind of weekend social life. One may also find that their grades might take a dip. In spite of all these factors a job can be a valuable experience. Suddenly, we appreciate things more now that we must work to ac- quire them. We’ve learned to use our free time wisely instead of just wasting it like we use to. Jobs are suitable for some, but espe- cially those that can spare the time. Depend- ing on the person, their parents, and type of job the whole idea may not be so nice, once they try it!

From the point of view of many. Sophomore year isn ' t very fun. This isn ' t true, this is the time when all become a group as a whole. After meeting new people during the first year one has had time to adjust, and everyone knows everyone else. The first adjustment that the sophs ' always seem to make is that they feel they must make a name for themselves. This is the point in high school where you are almost old enough to feel like you are a part of that school, like you belong there. You are no longer pushed around. The feeling of being looked down upon no longer exists. Also, everyone works as a unit. It seems as though all the classmates contribute their time and effort for the benefit of everyone else. Everyone tries to help with class projects. Since everybody knows everybody else, they spend a lot of time with each other. All this time spent unites them even more. By their junior year most of them will be working and free time won’t be so available. This is one reason why once sophomore year is over you will realize just how much fun it was. This is considered an exciting adventure. By this time one begins to look forward to the remaining years with their friends. Since all seems to be going smooth so far we can look forward to a pleasant ending. It ' s funny how quickly the years are sailing by now. In the future we can look back and remember how slowly the first year went by. Strangely enough we already begin to think of graduation and being on our own. However, since this is going to be a long voyage we might as well make it a successful one. If everyone can keep their good attitude for the remainder of the cruise it would make life a bit more pleasant. Making life more pleasant is what it ' s all about according to the sophomores. Watch this! Karen Powell takes a break from track practice to show off her fantastic juggling ability to her friends. Riding along.

What does it all mean? Maybe to some Phys. Ed. means a way to let off steam. If the day just isn ' t going right, you can really get into whatever game is be- ing played. Or, if you need some excitement in your day, maybe gym class can be it. It can be a way of getting into something to the point of where you enjoy whatever you ' re doing. Or, maybe gym class can be a source of knowledge. Learning new ways of playing the same old games. Open your free time to more opportunities. Or, maybe opening your horizons to move imagination. Some people may feel that the only way to express them- selves is through sports. Open yourself up to the possibilities that a class like gym can offer. Remember, you must make the class what you want it to be, a good class or a bad class. Dreadful thoughts of the plan for the day aren ' t going to help you in the course. Go into the class with a positive attitude that you are going to learn and what you learn will in- crease your horizons. The change has to come from you.

Industrial arts classes teach a wide range of trades for the skilled worker. Industrial arts is an a rt. It is produc- ing something with ones own hands. It is much more than cutting some wood, or melt- ing a piece of meltal, it is starting with an idea and ending with a product. Highland High’s industrial arts can train a student for various career opportunities. Mr. Burt Poi, the printing teacher, is also head of this flourishing Industrial Arts Dept. Other classes include wood shop, metal shop, elec- tronics, and drafting. Taking these classes does not necessarily mean a guarenteed pro- fession, but it does give a helpful headstart to an apprenticeship program or a job in the majored field. Lightning Strikes!

Art classes vary from art appreciation to the ba- sics. To take a break and put your feelings on paper are just a few of the reasons why one may want to take this class. It gives one the chance to relax. In art you can put your artis- tic ability to work. Colors may symbolize certain moods. Dark colors such as blue, purple and green tend to make one have sad, gloomy thoughts. In your imagination they remind one of something cool, airy and fresh. Light colors like orange, red and yellow are cheerful and bright. These made one think of a warm, hot sunny day. Depending on the course, it may take a sense of color coordination so that the colors in a project blend in well. All art doesn’t involve drawing and painting different pictures. Macrame and string art may be explored. Then again one may want to experiment with ceramics. These are just a few of the things that may be studied in art. Art has always been used as a means of com- munication. The different types of art give one the chance to interpret their feelings. Being able to take thoughts and put them on paper without using words is a part of being creative. Finishing touches. Diane Chmielewski completes an im- portant art assignment. An artist at work.

Aside from the classroom participation, there is also the girls ensemble. Along with the singing many of the girls help with the choreography. The girls aren’t the only ones involved in activities.

Sophomores 85 Building Trades The House That Grew Build a house • are you crazy? This may be common response given when someone is informed of the Building Trades project. It is very true though. Many students have been able to get hands-on experience on actual house construction. There is no better way for a student to discover whether or not a construction type job would suit him for a life-long career. There are two Building Trades classes. Each one of these classes takes up three hours of the school day: lst-3rd hours and 4th-6th hours. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Sieb these two classes sucessfully build a first-rate house to be sold to any perspective buyer. The house, sometimes designed by the advanced drafting classes, is built entirely by students. This class makes the student see the hardships such as the cold, rain, snow, long exhausting hours and frustration often acompanied with construction. But it can also be very rewarding when a graduate passes the house and points out that it was he who helped in the construction of something as complex as a house. Making the Framework.

Taking a moment to ponder, however, you realize that junior year is something to be savored, not rushed. Unlike freshman or sophomore year, we are not just starting to set sail, not groping for a direction; we are on our way. Our friends are pretty-well chosen, our likes and dislikes decided upon, our personalities established, and our futures have a general and steady direction. Different from the seniors, we are a little more nonchalant; we have begun to chart our courses for later life, and yet we are not pressed for a definite answer about our plans beyond high school. We can sit back, take a short break, and begin to choose among the multitude of options that face us as we approach our last year of high school. Which is not to say that junior year is a time for inertia; we must continue to reach, reach to attain our present goals and set new ones. We gain wisdom as our high school days lessen; though we stop, drop anchor, and make mistakes, we realize we are headed in the wrong direction, and chart a new course to follow. Just one more year, and then — freedom . . . but with this long-awaited freedom come responsibility and fear; fear of new and different horizons. We are more confident than in the beginning. Since then we have met some unforgetable people, learned something about life and about love. Our lives have truly begun to take shape; and though there are uncertainties that hold us back, we sail on, almost at the end of one unforgetable journey, and prepare for another, and another . .

They’re things we do to ‘‘let the good times roll. Most of the best times that we’ve spent; we’ve spent with our best buddies. Friends make life more enjoyable. Those special moments when you are laughing so hard that you can’t stop. Your stomach and mouth even get sore. Without a doubt there are those embarrassing times when in public places you make a fool of yourself because of the noises you’re making while you are laughing. Once a while it is those really stupid things that make you laugh at the time they seem to be funny. It doesn ' t take much to be able to enjoy yourself.

Also, at last year’s convention Greg Britton won the election for Lieutenant Governor for District 1 in Indiana. The Key Club has been busy all year helping the Kiwanis with the annual “Peanut and Pancake Days”. Among other activities performed by the Key Club were such things as a float for the Homecoming Parade, and a hay ride. The Convention is for the purpose of bringing all the Key Clubers in Indiana together for election and awards. Amongst last years awards won by Highland was a second place for best scrap book. Senior Key Clubers were concerned this year due to the lack of participation amongst the underclassmen. They needed more involvement by them. Fortunately newmembers have since joined and become involved in the Club. Hopefully the experience of the seniors will rub off on all the new members.

Quick thinking, lots of research, and just plain old determination are just a few ingredi- ents that our Speech and Debate team consist of. With the assistance of sponsers Mrs. Brady and Mr. Stuber, who always lend a hand, they have proven themselves very suc- cessful. Success seems to be their motto. Under the leadership of Speech and Debate, president Mark Walters, vice president Mark Vail, and secretary-treasurer Alexis Plautz, really head the club to a prosperous year. Sponsering such fund raisers as a dance, car washes, and bake sales, their success was proven once again. Meets are usually on Saturdays. Team members must be ready from as early as 3:00 to sometime around 6:00. It takes real loyalty and enthusiasm to want to participate early on a weekend. Home meets for the Debat- ers” are held at Valparaiso University. The object is to outwit their opponents. Given a specific topic they must research and find the best possible information on it. They are judged on whether they make their point bet- ter than the other guy. These are just a few qualities that it takes to be on Speech and Debate; that explains the reason for their winning campaign. Helpful Advice. Listening attentively, Eve Kwasneski and Jane Coover learn a new speech technique from Mrs. Brady. 96 Speech And Debate Tom McGee, Dan Mehrbrodt, Becky Messman, Charlene Meyer, Milicia Mihlailovich, Mary Mileus- nic, Chris Miller, Dan Miller, Mike Miller.

This years fall play ‘May The Farce Be With You” gave us more than flashing lights and wild noises. It also delighted us with such superheros as Acrobat Man and Albatross, Gadzooks, and the Terrific Trio. Mr. Randall Lemon directed the play with the help of Assistant director Miss. Dorton and student director Donna Hurlburt. Mr. Randy Lemon, in his second year at Highland, has brought the drama club back to respectability once again. Another play, performed by the Summer drama club, was also a success. The play was the delightful musical You ' re A Good Man Charlie Brown . The cast included, Kevin Guzowski as “Charlie Brown , Donna Hurlburt as “Lucy”, Mark Brond as Linus , Patty Fleszewski as Snoopy”, Phil Anderson as “Schroeder”, and Carole Shapiro as Patty”.

Lanette Worker There is a nervous hush backstage. The houselights go down, and the curtain begins to open. It is too late to make any changes on scenery or lights, for it is a performance night. The Auditorium Staff is not generally involved in acting, but is more of the technical, behind-the-scenes operators. Setting-up the microphone, pointing and setting the lights, and building the sets are just a few of the many tasks needed to develop a show and keep an auditorium going. Mr. Larry A. Brechner, once a student at Highland High, is the technical advisor of Monbeck Auditorium. He tries to help the students out with much of the technical work. Auditorium Staff gives the student a taste of real theater work. The pressures, hardships, and pains seem to go unrewarded, except for the sense of pride in knowing that “I made that show happen — without me or my work, this show wouldn’t be.” Auditorium Staff is a newly recognized club here at Highland High School. It is growing in its enrollment of students who want to be involved, to work, to learn, and to see what it takes to run a professional theater. Setting stage lights.

Well, since you can ' t get out of school, there is an endless list of how to make it better in school and out. Some students get involved in sports like football and basketball, some enjoy student activities like Turnabout and Prom; some get involved in various clubs like the Drama Club, F.H.A., and Bowling Club, and yet others enjoy doing things on their own, like a trip to Marriotts, playing ping pong, or going to a party. Different people have different ideas and ways to enjoy themselves. An artist might prefer to be mostly alone to work on his latest masterpiece, while a social worker would rather be surrounded by people. What are people at Highland High School doing to have a good time? At this moment a lot of people are involved in the sports. Of course there are the players themselves, but with the players go the cheer block, cheerleaders, majorettes, pep band, and the rest of the Trojan fans. The clubs at Highland are also involved in a lot of projects. The Drama Club has done two plays, their annual variety show, and have gone on a number of field trips to various theatres. Wild and crazy. Robin Ellis shows how to act at a Dazed and confused. Theresa Hutchinson is stuck on party, get some good music and good friends! another history question. Stickers, anyone?

Creme de la Creme 1 One of the key words in high school is achievement, and our honor societies play a major role in recognizing these achievements. For those who maintain a B’ average in all of their classes and an A’ in their language, there are German, Spanish, and French Honor Societies. These language Honor Societies are far from inactive; they help in the school with foreign exchange students, by sponsering dances and bake sales, and by selling val-n- grams every year. There is the relatively new Art Honor Society, and of course, there is National Honor Society for students active in at least 3 curricular activities and maintaining a B’ average. Officers this year are: President, Tom O’Donnell; Vice President, Dave O’Neil; Secretary, Nancy Bryant; and Treasurer, Tim Wolfe. Those interested in the theatre and acting can become thespians if they accumulate enough points and remain active in school presentations. Lastly, there is Quill and Scroll, a club for students interested in writing and who contribute journalistically to the school. Quill and Scroll Officer . Diane Murrish. Sue Furticella.

Honors 105 Blood Drive Successful Don Leads Council How does a Student Council get things accomplished? Don Hepburn, President of the 1979-80 Student Body says, The advantage we have is everyone works well together and we all get along.” The officers of Students Council this year are: Don Hepburn, president; Tom O ' Donnel, vice president; Mary Hepburn, recording secretary; Leslie Williamson, corresponding secretary: June Puntillo, treasurer; and Kevin Guzowski, Parliamentarian. One of the projects that took place at Highland High School was the Blood Drive. Many students participated in this drive; therefore, it turned out to be a great success. Student Council plans a drive as an annual event. As the year comes to an end, the Student Council is one club which has shown much concern in our community. Leading the Way. President of 1979-80 Student Council. Don Hepburn explains the plans to the club. Fun and Games. Finding a little spare time Patty Jones and Don Hepburn take time out for a few laughs. Do it like This. Explaining a problem to Lynette Wisniewski, Diane Murrish seems puzzled herself. 106 Student Council President’s Corner In the past few years the Highland High School Student Council was thought to be a “do nothing” club. I hope this year we proved that statement to be false. We started this year out with Football Homecoming, a blood drive for the Red Cross, a hypnotist convocation, and the annual Alumni Day. As the months moved on, the Council tried to be even busier. The only problem which kept certain projects from moving, however, was apathy. Mini Courses and the Challenge of the Sexes had to be cancelled because of a failure of teachers who show enough interest. Many students argue that the students are even more apathetic. I honestly doubt they are. Highland ' s blood drive was a big success. The students were willing to give, and when compared to the drive that Griffith High School had, Highland almost doubled their intake. As a while, Highland High was a very active Over Here Mom. Waving to a few friends during the Parade are Student Council Members Chris Miller and Barb Bray Being Proud.

Halftime Festivities included the performance of the majorettes and the crowning of Queen Heather Horswell and King Keith Kerber. Although our team put up a good fight, the Merrilville Pirates gained a 61 to 56 victory. The disappointment of losing the game was lessened, however, by the Homecoming dance, which was sponsored by Student Council. Homecoming, as a whole, was a huge success.

During our journey we ' ve added to our memories many new experiences that we have encountered. Mew people have become part of our lives; and with the help of these people, we learned a lot about ourselves. Different wonderful individuals have now emerged. New talents and ideals have been discovered in ourselves. They have made us feel unique and good about ourselves. We finally know a lot more of who we are and where we are headed. We are beginning to demand more and more from ourselves, life, and others; yet, we are giving just as much back. There is a new found confidence in our- selves. An awareness of being able to do any- thing we want has been realized. It is time to move on now, but this time the journey will be different. We will not have anyone to lean on. We ll be by ourselves. Leaving our friends and family will be part of that journey, and once we leave we can never really return. Though we will meet new friends, we ll still have to be able to count on ourselves to meet the goals and dreams we ' ve set. Some of us will continue to discover our- selves by furthering our education, while oth ers will go on and experience life through jobs and families. We will encounter new seas on this journey that may be rougher to handle, but we will have the memories and experiences of this past voyage to take us through thenever end ing journey which is • Life.

Many times seniors feel this way as the year comes to a close. There is such pressure to have one ' s life planned out — too much tension and too much to finish before graduation. The picture on the opposite page gives an answer. Stay in there, and above all, keep your head above water! There are always other people you can count on, and when the current gets too strong, there are always good friends who will be there to pull you through. Staying “in the swim” of things means just that — never giving up, letting the good things of life bouy you up, and then using your head for all the good things it was meant to do.

A school is usually only as good as its students and its teachers, but one place where one can tell a lot about any high school is in the amount of spirit it shows. Spirit, of course, doesn’t come just in the sports programs, though going through Spirit Week does help. It also shows in the spirit of clubs, the band, people who work on plays, in the yearbook and newspaper staffs, and even in the spirit one can detect from walking down the halls. Does Highland have spirit? With so many good people, so many activities to keep us busy, and such opp ortunities for meeting new people and exploring new fields, how can we miss? Shining Spirit!

Only Yesterday . . . “Mr. Lechner, Mr. Kellam wants to see you! Those were the words that started my experience as a National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist. When I first heard those faithful words, I was expecting certain doom. 1 couldn ' t think of anything I had done within the past few weeks that would require Mr. Kellam to request me in his office, and I suppose that is why I was so worried. When Mr. Kellam finally informed me of the reason for the request, I was at first relieved, and then puzzled. I mean, just what in the world is a National Merit Semi- Finalist? After reading the material he gave me, I began to understand the significance that this award held, but when the informational pamphlets started coming in from colleges all over country, 1 fully realized the total meaning of this honor. Nearly every university in the nation had been informed of my award, and wanted me to enroll. Even if I don’t receive the scholarship, I still believe that my nomination was one of the most helpful experiences of my high school career. I got to know many of the colleges better than I normally would have, and what is even more important, those same colleges got to know more about me, which will help me decide which college I eventually attend. If nothing else, it taught me enough on filling out application forms to last me a lifetime! Of course, on the other hand, there is always the possibility that, by some impossible twist of Fate, I will end up receiving a National Merit Scholarship. If that somehow does occur, it will mean at least a $1000 towards my intuition, and likely several other smaller grants, all which will help a lot. John Lechner Darryl Hill.

Cheering the team onto another sectional victory, the Trojan T ' s watch attentively. I Like To Believe . . . As I gaze pensively through a nearby window, a blowing, charcoal sky toward which my eyes ascend causes me to ponder; could it be that each little raindrop stands for each bead of fury ' s bloodshed? That each and every sweet blade of grass be reminiscent of the countless lives spent for the glorious principles of democracy? That each leaf on the swaying trees still contains the growing spirit of liberty and righteousness from the Pilgrims to Paul Revere to the America Revolution? I like to believe so. But, I do also believe that there is no reason why these undying efforts of yesterday should not continue to thrive today and forever onward in time — for it was these brave people’s persevering intentions that changed the course of our nation ' s history and boldly set the Movin ' On. Walking through the halls can be a real adventure, but there ' s always time to chat with friends. WE RE NUMBER ONE!!! Senior powder puff girls express their joy after defeating the juniors.

Now, being a young student extremely involved in theatre, my roles are many and diverse; but as a future mature citizen of the United States, my role will hopefully be one like many others: that is, to be active in my society and take great care in exercising the many wonderful freedoms that my forefathers, mothers, and children readily died for. It is to them that I am thankfully indebted and would proudly stand up for what I believe in, if only out of sheer gratitude of their courage. It is the least I can do as a twentieth- century free American, but I am sure that that’s the way our ancestors would like to see homage paid, by Carole Shapiro Scott Houshin- Lettermen ' s Club 2-4, Tennis 1-4, Track 1-4.

Whether it’s a play, working on the newspaper or yearbook, spending long hours in the band, or practicing for a team, there is always much to be learned from working with others and learning how to accept responsibility. Nothing can really get done around school without many students putting in long hours behind the scenes and giving their time and talents to all the activities which take place. Not everyone can win Most Valuable This’ or ‘Most Valuable That,’ but when all is over, anyone who put out the effort and really tried knows he or she has learned, and can take that knowledge and experience of working with people into later life.

From fighting over the teeter-totter at recess to kicking a jammed locker, we ' ve come a long way. As seniors finishing high school, we tend to look back on our school years and reminisce. Remember the third grade teacher who read Charlotte’s Web from her rocking chair? And the fifth grade teacher who made you “line up to walk silently out to recess or to the cafeteria for lunch? From there we progressed to the wonderful freedom of junior high, where owning a yo-yo that did Loop-the-Loops was almost a necessity. Now, as we go to the junior-senior prom for the last time and receive our diplomas at graduation, we hope we’re ready. A graduation ceremony has such an air of finality; our twelve years of education have come to an end. Yet when that diploma is handed to us, we are being given the challenge to continue learning. Some continue with college, but that too ends with the same challenge. We are to use the process of learning that our long hours in school have taught us. We learn from our mistakes, by following an example, and by watching others. Applied in the real world, this formula can only lead to success. With this in mind, we can say, Yes, World, we re ready.

It is the time your parents have been trying to prepare you for all your life; the time you never thought would come, graduation. The people who will go away to college will be meeting a whole new class of people. They will be learning about different ways of life from people who live all over. The students they will encounter will be going through exactly what they are, and some will even be past that point. No matter what, they will all have things to share; they will learn about a different kind of closeness. A job after high school can be as good an experience as college. One could learn how to get along with people by working with them. A job will give a feeling of fulfillment as well. It is a good feeling to know you can survive on your own; you are an independent person. For some, graduation is a high school student’s long-awaited freedom, for others it is just the close of another chapter in one ' s life, while for others it is a giant step into the “real world.” It is a test to see if you can put all the training and experience from the past 18 years all together.

At 8 o ' clock Friday morning the tension begins to build, and cheers are running through our heads. Plans are being made for after a victorous game, and hundreds of students run about the school hazardously. You can see the pride in the team members eyes, and the joyous smiles on the coaches faces. It is times like these that people are proud to say We ' re from Highland!” The whole student body participates during the day in pregame festivities. During 6th hour a pep rally seems to fire the entire school for a sectional game to follow later that night. Later, fans begin to pour into the fieldhouse to get a good seat. Everyone is dressed in blue and gold, and a half hour before the game, the two competing schools yell cheers back and forth. For an outsider this may not be the most exciting thing to do on a Friday night, but for those who are there sharing in the spirit, a certain feeling takes over your entire body and all you can think about is winning! Soon after, the horns begin to blow and the constant beat of the Trojan feet echo throughout the stadium. The whistle blows, the ball is tossed, and a group of our peirs perform in front of thousands of people, and try their best to keep the lead. Though whenever we are behind, there is the booster block screaming so what we will soon catch up.” For a few hours our eyes follow the players out on the court in the blue and gold. Though after a long gruellsome event, we either come out the winners or the losers. Whichever it may be we, all still hold our heads up high and proudly sing the school song. Sectionals is a very exciting and funfilled time of the year. There is something for Dave Stofcik- Football 1, Hockey 1-4. French Club 3, NHS 3-4, Donald Strom- Swimming 1.

Seniors 1 47 ■i ' -y-N [Ujl 1 i iiJS r r • mT % Helping Set The Course High School is a funny place. You come in and presume everything is going to be hard, but that you ' ll make it. You know enough people from junior high or your grade school, and you figure they ' ll be enough to pull you through the difficult times. One of the biggest mistakes many high school students make; however, is presuming they won ' t get any help from adults in their lives. Mom and Dad may be “out of it as far as school work goes, and often may also be left out of the problems and concerns teens face. What to do? Try to get by with a little help from your friends, yes, but don ' t overlook some of the best help that ' s available — and it ' s free. others who have proven to other students of Highland High School that they really care and are willing to go the extra mile. They have also been around a few more years, and with the experience they have had, they often can give some good advice for anyone who is smart enough to realize you don ' t always have to learn everything the hard way. There are, of course, teenagers who tend to think of all adults as the enemy. They see them as authority figures, people who stand in the way of their total freedom, and as a result never allow themselves to be positively influenced or motivated to greater achievements. Can a teacher be a friend? Can he or she really make high school a lot more True, there are some teachers who may worthwhile? Ask the hundreds of students disappear quickly at the end of the day, or who have learned much from their who seem to be too busy to see you. For teachers, and give yourself the same break! every one of these, though, there are these It’s All Here! Books are the key. and Miss Martha Nicholson opens the door to knowledge for Tom Leyva. Faculty Divider 149 The Captain And The Crew The superintendent of the schools is Doctor Omer W. Renfrow. Mr. James Buckley and Mr. Clyde Sumner help him with decisions concerning the school. The officers of the school board are; Lorraine King, president; Lawrence Vassar, vice president; John Guiden, secretary; and Burt Masepohl and John Terpstra as members. Mr. Kurteff, along with vice principals Mr. Clinkenbeard and Mr. Kellam, keeps the school running smoothly during the regular school year. One of the main problems this year has been the link between the junior high and the high school. They had to supervise the project to make sure things got done as soon as possible for the sake of the students. The school board meets a few times a month. They help Mr. Kurteff and staff by giving them advice and ideas. Together the school board and the faculty make the school year a success. MR. HIGHLAND HIGH.

New to the scene As Highland High teachers gathered to begin the 1979-80 school year, there were a great number of new faces, and many familiar ones gone. Twenty-two new teachers became the largest number of newcomes in many years, but it didn’t take them long to learn the ropes and fit into the scheme of things at Highland. The English Department led the list with eleven teachers, while four were added to Physical Education and two joined the music staff. Three new teachers took over duties in the Industrial Arts wing, including Mr. Duane Sieb, who worked with the building trades class as they worked on the new house, located this year on Wirth Road. Teachers in Highland represent many different colleges and universities from all over America, including Northwestern, the Indiana schools, and places as distant as the University of Georgia, Southern California University, and the University of Missouri. Besides the schools which are officially listed as the place where a teacher received his or her last degree, there stands behind most teachers a host of other schools where they have also done undergraduate work or specialized work in skill areas of their subjects. There are teachers who have attended Notre Dame and Syracuse universities, as well as the University of Havana, in Cuba. Because so many teachers on the Highland faculty have lived and received their schooling in different parts of the country, students who attend class here have the opportunity of hearing different points of view and of receiving part of their education from individuals who have been exposed to different ideas and learned to live in other areas of the country, where the perspective and the things which are stressed are sometimes different. Many teachers come together to form the faculty of Highland High School. Some are new to our system, others have been here many years. Some grew up in this area; others have traveled many miles to teach here. Together they give Highland students a chance to explore new opportunities and develop skills and areas of knowledge which can help them move on to productive future lives.

Looking beyond Many high school students who never get to really know any teachers often have a very wrong idea about the kind of people who are involved with education. For the teens who just attend class and never get involved with extra- curricular activities, there is only the sight of the teacher up at the front of the room, lecturing or making assignments. No wonder these students begin to think teachers are not human. For those students who get involved with other activities sponsored by the school, however, there is the opportunity to really get to know some exceptional people. Working with a coach or a club sponsor gives any teenager a chance to see an adult who can be human while still making sure things get done. There is a real comaraderie which occurs between students and teachers once they share deadlines, work together on class floats, or work together for victory in athletics. If people look at teenagers for proof they are becoming more mature and are moving toward adulthood, one place to find those who are really on the way are those who take the time to get involved with extra-curricular activities, and get to know those teachers who are willing to work with them on all the different projects. Are teachers human beings? They certainly are, and if you want to find out for yourself, get into some activity around school, and see how a real adult can set a positive “Do you understand?

Why does a marathoner push himself, (or herself), to the finish line when victory has evaded him moments before? Why bother with dedicating most of your free time to sports? Why go through the agony of defeat, and the thrill of victory”, as they say. Why do high school students add the load of grueling practices and competitive contests to their ever present, huge responsibility of home work and even a part-time job? Why do some people at Highland High put theirselves through this? “The reason varies from one to another,” says coach Jerry Mazur. For some it may be the hope of belonging; or to join in the camaraderie of a team. Others find sports a way to satisfy their ego. “a source of undivided accomplishment , Mr. Mazur calls it. “I go through the miseries of basketball practice because at the end of the whole beginning it brings me a great deal of satisfaction.”-Julie Karolzak My own opinion on why an athlete will put in time, effort, even pain for sport is an underlying, deep-seeded need and want to feel important within himself and a high level need for self-respect. The high-level need comes about because many times the athlete does not feel he would receive the same recognition as a so called “regular” person. What he does not realize is that athletes do sports because that is what they are able to do. They have the ability to do” sports. Other people have abilities to “do” other things. The bottom line is “why”, has to be a very personnal, introspective reason. I would hope that it would deal with becoming a better person, rather than a better athlete because athletics is only part of life not life itself.- Coach Steve Furman I go to volleyball practice everyday because I love to play volleyball. I am always striving for improvement and the only way to get better is to practice.-Julie Holicky Some young men come out for football as a result of pure group pressure. A person may want to be included in a peer group. He can be only if he is on the football team. So he goes out for football to hang around with the football peer group. In this case, the physical punishment received by these individuals is worth the price of belonging to the peer group.-Coach Dan Miller Injuries.

The girls had their first winning season with a 6- 5 record while the guys recorded an astounding record with a 16-1-1 slate. The girls, under new head coach Tim Kurtz, brought great respect to themselves through the swimming of girls like Sharon Gabor, Kathy Jones, Anda Kupsis, and sophomores Tami Volkman, and Kathy Cyganowski. They battled their way to a 2nd place finish in the sectional meet. Busted records by Sharon Gabor in the 100 yard Butter Fly and the 200 Medley Relay team of Jones, Cyganowski, Gabor, and Volkman brought new goals for the girls to beat in the years to come. The guys swim team surprised the state with a number 2 state ranking through the mid-point of the season and a deserving 3rd place state rank by the end of the season. The tankmen overcame their only defeat by number 1 ranked Munster by defeating the number 3, 7, 9, and 10 ranked teams. Under the superior coaching of Mike Boskovich the guys are favored to win the sectional meet and finish high in the state competition. Record breaking performances by Doug Mills in the 100 yard freestyle, Ed Krygier in the 100 yard breast stroke, Kent Klonel smashing the diving record, and the 200 yard medley relay team of Mills, Krygier, Karl, and junior Pete Rodriquez gave the tankmen the depth required.

PERFECTION. Melanie Engerski executes grace and balance on her beam routine. Though this year’s gymnastics team was young, they were able to break the existing school records for team scores on both the optional and intermediate levels”, said head coach Debbie Howe of her talented squad of young ladies. Scoring 91.1 optional and 95.75 intermediate, with only three seniors (Diane Rimer, Jennifer Jones, and Mary Lou Morgan), on the team, has considerably raised the outlook for the next campaign. “The girls returning for next year showed much talent, depth, and promise,” added Howe. Leading scorer for the optional team was Morgan. Mary Lou scored high in the floor exercise and uneven bars throughout the year. She marks of 8.8 on bars and 8.6 in floor. Leading the intermediate squad were Rimer and Jones. Diane was the captain and leading scorer of the ’79- ' 80 team. She notched a 9.2 on floor exercise to earn a spot in sectional competition where she placed first. Diane s high mark came on the balance beam • 9.35. Jennifer excelled in the floor exercise and vaulting. An 8.55 on her sectional vault advanced her to regionals, but an injury kept her out of the festivities.

Girls Basketball 165 Cross Country Girls Take Elkhart Regional When you add many months of hard work to pride and determination, you get a good team. But when you mix this with a group of people who refuse to loose, you get the two cross country teams at Highland High. The girls team under second year coach Steve Furman, compiled an impressive record of seven wins against only two losses. They also won the TF South, Bloomington, and Highland Invitationals. There greatest show of strength came when the squad captured the first ever Elkhart regional crown. Leading the way to all these accomplishments were Michelle Companik, Patty Schlink, Karen Powell, Dee Doran, Allison Repking, Cheryl Dupin, and Megan Smolan. Meanwhile, the guys cross country team ran into a fine season. John Albright took race honors in sectionals and regionals. The gifted senior proceded to finish eighth, and 31st in semi-state and state competition. Following Albright to a good campaign were Brian Dulijan, Jim Boswell, George Molchan, Marty Velasquez, Paul- Nagle, Jim Powell, and Greg Bracco. TAKING THE TORN.

The squad surprised many with runner-up finishes in conference and sectionals. Senior John Bracco recovered from early season blues by winning sectionals, regionals, and taking fourth at state in the 880 yard run. Chuck Neal qualified for regional competition in the 100 and 330 low hurdles. John Albright found a spot at regionals in the two mile run, and Doug Smith qualified for the pole vault competition.

She teamed up with Kathy Bizoukas, Robin Ralich and Kim Tilner to establish a new 880 record. Leslie Milligan added new records in the softball throw and 100 yard dash, while Allison Repking and Karen Powell ran down the 880 and mile records. To add to their regular season accomplishments, the girls captured the Lake Suburban Conference, Calumet relay and Chesterton relay titles. They placed second in sectionals where Dale, (hurdles and highjump), Stoddard, (highjump), Milligan, (softball throw), and Repking, (880), qualified for the regional meet. The four finished a surprising second place by finishing in the top four of their respective events which enabled each to compete in the State finals. Dale, after finishing third her sophomore, year, and second her junior year, followed suit her senior campaign by winning the state crown with a record leap of 5’8 V . Milligan also won All-State honors by taking fourth in the softball toss. With only four girls lost to graduation, it appears that in future years to come, the Highland girls track team will remain o n top of things. Girls Track 171 Getting Into The 1979 varsity baseball season saw the Trojans once again join the ranks of the Region elite, as they tied Griffith for the Lake Suburban Conference championship. Bob Helmer, Scott Lenhart, and Dennis Rodda all earned all conference honors in leading the Trojans to a 10-4 record, including a 9-3 conference mark. Lenhart batted a robust .442 overall and set a new school record with a .496 conference average. Helmer carried a .431 mark and led the team in home runs, runs batted in, and steals with 3, 17, and 7. Rodda paced the moundstaff with 5 wins against 1 loss and 53 strikouts in 38 innings pitched. All in all, the Trojans pitching staff compiled a 2.20 earned run average while striking out 122 and only allowing 84 base hits on the season. The Trojan batsmen, on the other hand, rapped the ball at a .298 clip. In addition to The Swing Of Things Helmer and Lenhart, Mark Bevis, Bob Marinconz, Rick Kuna, Nick Bizoukas, and Dave Wells each batted .300 or better. Despite winning conference, the Trojans were unable to advance in sectional play as they were ousted in the opening round by conference nemesis Griffith. The loss marked the third time the diamondmen were defeated by the Panthers in that campaign. The girl’s tennis team enjoyed a fairly successful year as well, finishing with a 10- 3 mark that was good enough for third in conference. Allison Pellar, Kathy Jones, and Rose Pokorski had fine seasons and return for more action this year. With both of these squads losing but a few players to graduation, they can surely be counted upon to bring success and glory to Highland in the future. HELPING IT OVER.

The key to the team’s success was that rather than having one or two outstanding individuals, there existed a great deal of team strength and depth. Team members included- Jeff Wheatley, Scott Houchin, Martin Bilderbeck, Mark Ryba, Tom Stark, (seniors), Brian Niksch, and Kevin Spudic, (juniors). A record of 16-1 was established by the Trojans before their venture to semi-state. The only blemish on that record was a loss to top-ranked LaPorte. La Porte defeated Highland 3-2 in the opening state match. Spudic ended an outstanding year with a combined singles-doubles tally of 24-1. Kevin teamed Stark for a 17-0 doubles campaign. Bilderbeck and Ryba finished at 24-1. Stark and Niksch were 7-1 , and singles star Houchin finished at 21 4.

Lettermen assigned to program sales had a banner year. For the first time in many years the Trojans didn’t look for one man to carry the load, to hit the crucial bucket, or to pick the team up when it was down. Instead the group made use of an important element of the game that no exceptional team is without • teamwork. Without question, there wasn ' t one man that led his teammates, however, returning lettermen Tom Mauer, Nick Crnkovich, Tom Bandura, and Nick Klemp, lent leadership and know how to this closely-knit squad. With victories over Morton, Griffith, Portage, Hobart, Munster, Lowell, Calumet, and Clark, Highland manufactured a respectable season mark of 9-11. This year’s senior loss should be a little easier to swallow than it has been in the last few years. Only four members graduated with hopes of seeing their former teammates create the same excitement on the gym floor as they did. ( 4 . PLAYM AKERS.

There ' s no glorifying news paper write-ups, and the “screaming fans” are few. Yet, many underclassmen are willing to put in the time and effort in hopes that they may someday be that varsity star. There were a few freshmen who made it at the varsity ranks. On the girls track team, Karen Powell and Robin Ralich set school records, while Dee Doran, Kim Tilner, and Jackie Williams earned varsity letters. Vicki Mravca was the loan letter winner on Cross country, as was Jerry Scott on the swim team. The Freshmen basketball team was superb in winning both the holiday tournament and the post season tournament. Guards, Greg Davidson and Mark Kwasney, led scoring throughout the season, while Mick Perko and Jay Simmons handled the boards. At the Junior varsity level, Rich Syverston and Ron McFarland led the squad to their 10-6 record. While loosing only two games, the Frosh football team tied with Griffith for the conference title. Running back, Greg Davidson was the leading rusher, and Jay Simmons was the top end. Coach Shelbourne is certainly looking forward to the tallent on this and the JV team. JV was led by the backfield of Rich Syvertson, Jim O ' Malley, and Al Halacjik. The D ' ' was led by linebacker John Phillips. The matmen were also extremely successful at th e JV and freshman level. Mike Kerber and Dan Halychec led the way for the frosh, while Keith Arnold posted the best JV record. The girls JV basketball team was 8-8 this season. Top sophomores included Karen Powell, Kelly Kors, and Michelle Snow. The Freshmen team was led by Patty Williams and Kelly Kerber. The 6-4 JV swimmers were led by sophomores Tim Blaskovich, Dave Horwath, and John Hammond. The leaders of the freshmen were Jim Childers, Mark Conces, Mike Golic, Paul Gard, and Mike Cheruba. 178 JV Frosh HOCKEY CLUB, row one: Mike Wagner, Scott Szarkowicz, Vince Sartini, Dan Clemans, Kevin Guay, row two: Joe Mohan, Greg Cox, Bob Brasher, John Lesniak, row three: Dave Stofcik, Randy Nicholas, Steve Helton, Gary Wagner, not pictured: coach John Kryston.

Led by captain Bengt Persson, the Trojans squad compiled a 5-41 record in route to the sixth place tie with Bishop Noll in the eleven team league. In the awards department, goal-tender Mike Maggi garnered the Most Valuable Player Award. The junior net-minder inherited the starting job when former starter Dan Trexler was injured in the Munster game. Jerry Lacosto was named the recipient of the Pride, Hustle, Desire Award, and sophomore Mike Knight was named the Most Improved Player. Brian Gaskey and Hilo Asano, who each scored six goals on the season, were co-winners of the Outstanding Offensive Player Award, while Ed Carroll was tabbed the Outstanding Defensive Player. Eric Nuss was the winner of the Highest Grade Point Average Award. The team also contributed five members to the Senior All-Star Game. They were Brian Gaskey, Ed Carroll, Dave McAvoy, Bengt Persson, and Dave Helt. In his first year as head coach, Bob Jackowski felt that the team did exceptionally well, and is looking forward to next season. Meanwhile, the Highland High School Hockey Team (formerly known as the Dinosaurs), also in their second season after a year ' s absense from competition, finished an astounding first place in the Northern Indiana High School Hockey League. The team ' s finish was especially impressive because the team had little pre- season practice time, and because it recieves no school sponsership of any kind. The team members must provide their own transportation to the games, and they recieve no varsity letter for all the time they put in. The icemen were led in scoring by center Gary Wagner, with winger Dave Stofcik a close second. Excellent defense was provided by defensemen Dan Clemens, Kevin Guay, and goalie Vince Sartini. The squad sent members Gary Wagner, Dan Clemens, and Dave Stofcik to the All- Stars. Soccer 181 WITH THE ADVANTAGE. Ben Puntillo fights to turn his man over to put him out of his misery.

Second place finishes were turned in by Kevin O ' Malley (98), Rick Gauthier (105), Jim Powell (112), Dave O’Malley (138), Chris Mastey (145), Greg Spudic (185), and Kevin Kissee (hwt). In regional competition, Kerber and Puntillo received 1st place honors as the Trojans finished 3rd behind host Calumet and the Hammond Wildcats. Kerber, Puntillo, and Powell were all invited to semi state. Wrestlers attributed great fan involvement to their fine season mark of 9-1. The only regular season dual meet loss was to Crown Point.

But with a 3-0 win at Bishop Noll, via Nick Crnkevich’s 19 yard field goal in overtime, all faith was restored. The Tornadoes of Gary Emerson were the Trojan’s next opponent. Highland ' s outfit totally dominated the game on route to a 56-6 romp. Coached by Dave Shelbourne, the gridders next defeated Calumet by a score of 21-14 for third straight tally in the win column. Things went rather mediocre the rest of the way however, as our Trojans won just two of five. A Homecoming loss to Crown Point was followed by a heart breaking setback to rival Munster. When the season ended Joe Rovai and Nick Crnkovich were named to the Lake Surburban All- Conference squad. Crnk was picked for his kicking skills and Rovai as a defensive back.

While they dominated the Lake Suburban Conference with a 7-0 record, they also dumped Lake Central, Andrean, and Calumet enroute to a sectional title. In two years that Coach Debbie Stockham has been in command, the team has won sectional championships. This one, however, may have been sweeter than the first because of the youth of the team. The only player that is lost to graduation is Julie Holicky, who led the squad both physically and mentally. Top underclassmen were hitters Robin Ralich, Dana Lenhart, Linda Lucas, and Kelly Cada, along with setter Lynn Clmbach. Lucas, and Cada were also good in the back court, while Ralich led the team in kills, and blocks. Coached by Cindy Arnold, the JV team also enjoyed a prosperous campaign. They finished the year with a 13-9 record, and a second place finish in the Conference JV tourney. Freshmen Kelly Kerber, Patty Williams, and Lynn Jackson will certainly be heard from.

Highland teams have captured five sectional titles, as well as many individuals taking honors. Starting the school year out right, the boys tennis team won their first title ever. Singles players Jeff Wheatly, Scott Hauchin, and Kevin Spudic, and doubles players Mark Ryba, Martin Bilderbeck, Tom Stark, and Bryan Niksch stormed to the title by downing defending champions Munster. They also took regionals before bowing out to a tough LaPort sheer squad. The Volleyball unit followed suit by capturing it ' s second straight title. Led by Julie Holicky, Lynn (Jmbach, Linda Lucas, Robin Ralich, and Kelly Cada, the girls defeated Lake Central, Andrean, and Calumet for the win. Like the tennis team, the volliers too bowed out of action with LaPort being the spoilers. Wrestlers were the third Trojan team to take honors. Under first-year coach Forrest Gray, wrestlers Keith Kerber, Benny Puntillo, Jim Walker, and R.J. Vidimos copped the individual crowns . . . And they said Highland wasn’t going to have anything this year! The Trojan cagers finally reached victory lane in sectional action. It was the girls team that made history by being the only team to come out of the Munster sectional other than EC Roosevelt. Led by the one-two scoring punch of Allison Repking, and Leslie Milligan, the girls routed Whiting, whipped Lake Central, and slipped by Munster for the right to cut down the nets. Girls Cross country should not be forgotton when discussing sectional titles either. Even though there is no IHSAA sectional for girls cross country, there is an independant regional. John Pizzeria.

V ‘ Index 321 It ' s a long, tough journey that may seem unending in the beginning, but once the ship is sailing there is no way to get off. The voyage is one that will never be forgotten. The experience learned can be gained in no other way. It takes time and effort to learn to work with fellow crew members. In order to make the trip successful we will have to learn to work together. There are undoubtedly times when we hit troubled waters. It ' s not all going to be smoothe sailing, we ' ve had to learn that from the beginning. There are always the crew members who will abandon ship due to the pressures of sea life. Once we realize this, we must be ready to accept the challenges that lie in the vast horizons. Beyond lies the great blue expanse and during our four year long adventure we face many difficulties. On some days skies may be clear, sunny and bright then on other days skies may be cloudy and gloomy. Never theless we always seem to steer ourselves through. Memories of good times and the bad will always linger in our minds. Now that the shore is in sight we must begin to plan for the future. Feelings that we shared and spent together will always remain deep in our hearts. Unfortunately though, the day for us all to say Bon Voyage will eventually come, but we ' ll always cherish those unforgettable years. i-rr- J r J ' - - VV l - tu ‘ ' flu 0 J T- y After a long journey across the big blue sea, the boat and crew finally come in. The mood is a mixture of happiness because the voyage is finally over and sadness because there is a great possibility that they may never see their ship mates again. As they drop the achors, they realize that this will be the last time that they will have a chance to work together as a team. Soon they will become individuals in a different kind of society. Some will sail on and others will stay when th ey dock at port. Their new goals in life will bring on responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities include families, jobs, and trying to survive in a new type of life. All of these people cling together because of the fear of an unpredictable voyage. They love seeing the people everyday on the ship, but the boat itself is another story. Seeing the same ship day in and day out causes them to look at it from a different angle from when they first arrived. It seems to take forever to reach that final goal. But when they do, they will reflect backwards into a time that they will never forget; a voyage that will always be with them. An Everlasting Voyage . . 224 SNLIMG TOWARD SHOR€
