I - ’ WE’RE NUMBER ONE! The Senior Powder Puff girls take time out of their practice for a quick picture. Reflections A photograph is merely a reflection, a A photo album is like a treasure chest truly precious reflection that holds an containing pictures filled with some of emotion — an emotion of a split-second that nothing else can capture. A picture holds onto that feeling and relives that second over and over again. It shares its secret with everyone — a reflection of people just being themselves. It ' s magic when the camera catches some- one being a natural. So many people feel terribly pressured into being something that they aren ' t. Fitting into the norms of a clique is so very important to some that getting them to be a natural for even a split second is beautiful, beautiful magic. Holding onto these special memories is often what it takes to make it through another day, to have the strength enough to go forth and conquer”. If we allow ourselves to become real and genuine people for the camera, then we have captured our true selves, and we have supplied ourselves with the needed support to make it through another day. Pictures for this, pictures for that, pictures are a part of everything. You have probably, at one time or another, spent money for pictures. And why not? Good experiences are worth remembering — it helps to make a life complete. the best things life can offer. Sitting around with old friends and reminiscing of good times spent together, helps to bring people closer. So the next time you find yourself act- ing stereotypically , just act natural and smile, you may be on Candid Camera 1 OVER LEAF: Stacey Firsich, Michele Pierzchala, Maria Hedges, Deanna Zatlokowicz Greg Bujna, Jane Skrentny, Kelly Cada, Bob O ' Keefe, Pete Villareal.

Summer is that time; the time to fly free, free like two seagulls in the open sky. There is nothing in the life of a gull to tie him to the earth; just as there is nothing in summer to tie us to anything that doesn’t just come naturally. We work, we strive, we push harder each day of the school year. Summer is the time that we have earned; the time for nothing but a lot of well deserved fun. Look at us! Look at how much fun we can be when we let go and show people who we really are. If we don ' t let phony things fill our lives we can show everyone that we re a different type of people. We re not afraid to let the world know where we stand. Ah! The memories of summer: Walking hand in hand down the beach with someone you care about, or just crashin out’’ on a blanket hoping to get a great tan. They too are a part of the freedom you feel in the summer. All that easy living has to fit into a few short summer months, just don ' t forget to fly free! Make it the best summer yet! I wish that I could fly away to a place of peaceful silence. To rid my mind of school and books and to forget my mind ' s appliance. To know that wish will soon be true as another school year ends, is to know that faster than time itself another school year will begin. Yet to save that freedom for just a while which is almost an impossible task. Just to keep summer in my mind is all that I do ask ask. For flying free and flying high is what it ' s all about, so use this time to just let go cuz summer is when school is out!!!!! Student Life P Student Life Looking At Ourselves Living! Taking life for what it ' s worth! That ' s what the life of a student is all about. Letting go when the time is right and cracking down when it ' s time for books, that’s all a part of living too. It ' s the way a student handles his free time and proves to be the most exciting. Activities are a time when the students are allowed to put aside the books and studying for just a while to enjoy life ' s many special adven tures. Clubs, sports, and summer are just a few of the opportunities giving students a chance to express themselves Summer is a very big part in the life of a student. These few but precious months open the doors for creativity and individuality. Trips to Marriott and the beaches, softball leagues, and jobs are very popular. Free time always offers the chance for self-expression; various clubs, sports, and societies during the year help students develop this concept. Many dances throughout the year provide the excitement of dating. Dances such as Prom and Turn-About provide an atmosphere of relaxation and a pressure-free evening. A student ' s life should never be dull! With all of the activities offered, there is barely enough time to fit everything into an already hectic schedule. But isn’t that how it should be? Using all of your time for the things you need to do, yet making time for the things you want to do is all a very special part of life. DID YCXJ HEAR . .?

Music Man Captivates Town As the lights dimmed, excitement spread throughout the auditorium. The curtain rose and we were transported back to River City, a small town in Iowa that was about to be confronted by a swindling salesman known as the Music Man. He charmed his way into our hearts as he sang about the evils of playing pool, and we watched as he conned so shrewdly the townspeople into bel ieving he was a qualified music teacher. But his plans were thwarted when Charlie Cowell, portrayed by Mark Brownd, recognizes Harold Hill and exposes the Music Man. Under the direction of Mr. Larry Stuber, the lead roles of Harold Hill and Marian the Librarian were brought to life by Tom O ' Donnell and Chris Miller. Harold Hill ' s friend, Marcellus, was portrayed by Jim Prather; while Marian’s mother, Mrs. Paroo. was played by Margie Reed. Other charming characters were Mayor Shinn and his family, played by Kevin Guzowski, Patti Fleszewski, Kim Klawitter, and Alexis Plautz. Also featured were Jodi Smith, Shannon Harkin, Mary Sue Bruynell, and Leslie Williamson in their roles as the Pickalittle Ladies. The quartet, consisting of Mark Beitz, Bob Boyer, Lewis Rea, and Eugene Szymoniak, added a cheerful tune here and there, such as “Lida Rose and Sincere . The cast danced to numbers like “Shipoopi and Marian the Librarian with the help of choreographers, Janie Berland and Randy Hooks. Exciting songs like “76 Trombones’ and Wells Fargo Wagon were performed by the Choral and Orchestra Department under the direction of Mr. Gordon Wilder. Mr. Mark Smith and Mr. Joseph Manfredo. The cast spent many long hours perfecting the musical and their efforts helped to make the show a complete success. You And I Prom — A wish come true Prom The day was May 1980; a perfect day soon to be a perfect evening. You thought that days like this only happened to other people or in the movies, but it was real. It was like Wishing on a Star . School was impossible, who could concen- trate on classes! I was so anxious to leave school. All I could think about was how everything would look, me, the hall, my date Wow, five more minutes. I ' ve got so much to do afterschool. I have to get her flowers; I have to wash the car. So much to do and so little time to do it. After all of that, I have to shower and shave. Come to think of it ... I don ' t even know what time to pick her up. Well first of all, I have to know what time to go for pictures. Gosh, I really have to hurry. Three hours of driving! What a journey it s going to be. I sure hope it ' s all worth it. Three hours to get ready. I know I ' ll never make it in time. First I have to take a bath, wash my hair, dry it and then get dressed. Somewhere inbetween all of that I ' ve got to do my nails and curl my hair. Three hours that is all of the time that I have maybe not even that I still don ' t even know what time he is coming for me. What if he should forget the flowers, or forget our tickets or something? Well, I ' m sure he ' ll be all rested up. After all, all he has to do is take a shower and throw on his tux. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. There is probably nothing to worry about. Everything will be great. It was just as I expected it to be. A night to remember. Everyone looked perfect and the hall was gorgeous. It was like a dream that ended too soon. I was just happy to attend. Maybe it was that wishing on a star that made my dream come to life. If it was only possible for everyone to attend. It is something that just can ' t be, but if it could everyone would share the same feeling. The light feeling that makes one feel good about themselves. Seeing all of my friends there would be my second wish. And my third wish would simply be that I may forever remember this night as one of the best nights of high school, but that wish can only be true if I make it true. Prom- It ' s what you make it!

F THIS CAN T BE FOR REAL!! Margo Leabo and Cheryl f Lewandowski march towards their new future. Remembers Well there it was. The day I thought would take forever finally came. To think back at all the thoughts that ran through my head as I passed senior bench for the first time, as a senior! And knowing that each day I walked in that school would be the last. What a great feeling! Although there were a few sad times too! Like never being able to go to a Munster football game as a member or student of Highland. Then came the day when your counselor called you down to his office to find out what you were doing next year. It was either going to college, getting a job, or just taking it easy for a year. A decision like that can be very hard to make. You have probably heard many people say that college is different than high school. There is so much more work and pressure and a lot less leisure time. Well it is all true! But, it is a different kind of pressure. The pressure is not worrying if you are going to be in your seat on time, or waiting to see if you will get caught with gum in your mouth, it gives you the attitude to actually want to go to class and try your best. At commencement, when you hear the principal say “you are being set free into that big world” he is right. And it’s great! The pressure of being able to make my own decisions for the rest of my life is the kind of pressure I am looking forward to. KAREN KORCZYK CAN YOG BELIEVE IT??? Vicki Bellinghausen and Julie Banik can ' t believe they ' ve finally made it. 16 Graduation Class of ’80 leaves Did you every really feel free? Independent? A true adult? This is the feeling which comes over all once that day of graduation arrives. This beautiful day of commencement for the graduating class of ' 80 took place June 1 of 1980. It was a sad day for some and a happy day for others, but a new beginning for everyone. On that same warm day, Highland High honored two people for their academic achievements, valedic- torian Diane Murrish and salutitorian Jeff Good. A day they will never forget. Many gathered in the hot gymnasium to listen to many final words from many different graduates. Senior class president Allison Azar put a tear in everyones eye as she presented a warm, encourag- ing speech to all. It is all in the past for the class of ' 80, but many more days of graduation to come. New horizons and new beginnings are all in the future. But this lovely day is one always to be remembered. HER FINAL WORDS?? Yes, Senior class President Allison Azar expresses her true feelings in this final speech of her high school career. HOME FREE . . This happy group of Seniors are ready to take it easy; at least until Monday morning. LEAD ON Greg Bujna and Brooke Ross lead the march for commencement exercises in the gym. One Sided Love Story Paula ' s eyes scanned the crowded hall for him, Mike. She had gotten up two hours e arly just to get ready for school. She had fixed her hair different and she even decided to wear a dress. As she approaches his foxy face, she remembers some of the times that she em- barrassed herself. Of course he was thete to see it. Like the time she was in Math class and her braces got caught in her sweater. The teacher called on her to answer, but she couldn ' t even talk! Or the time she tripped in her high shoes in front of the Junior ben- ches. He sat there and laughed like everyone else. That all didn ' t matter now. Here comes the highlight of her day. He walks roght by her without a thought, except Janet. She was walking down the hall with her friends. He really wanted to make her notice him. He quickly combed his hair and then he started to walk like a real stud. This one look at her was worth all the trouble that his little brother had made for him that morning. He kept making fun of Mike’s shaving lotion that smelled like woody pines. He had driven by her house so many times that it was a habit. It was something he did everything he could get the car. He watched her walk by and down the hall behind him. He didn ' t care that she didn’t look; he was already looking forward to tomorrow. He smiled at me. Linda Molnar can ' t believe how excited Kelly Prazner is over one smile. What should I say? Kim Hanshew tries to help Janet Mar eachen think of something witty to say to Mike Hicks. What was that?

Senior girls edge juniors One of the toughest games ever played in Highland High Powderpuff history was this year ' s contest between the classes of ' 81 and ' 82, with the former emerging victorious. Under co-captains Jennifer Sowinski and Cheryl Kendrick, with good hard coaching from Mr. Steve Lenig and Mr. John Bellon, the seniors defeated a tough junior squad lead by co- captains Starr Perko and Kelly Kors, and coaches Mr. Jerry Hedges, Dan Miller, and Mr. Dan Gamaleri. Scoring was simple. The juniors scored twice on the big play, once by Brigette Nordyke and a second by Melanie Engerski on a 79-yard run. Seniors used the magic of quarterback Cheryl Kendrick who scampered into the end zone twice for six, and a third time for the winning two point conversion. WARNING: To the class of ' 83, the seniors defeated a good team which will not accept defeat . . . again. TOUCHDOWN!! Juniors Michelle Guy man.

Starr Perko, Jennifer Sowinski. and Cheryl Kendrick meet before the big game. Have you ever seen a wounded bird, and wanted so to help? Have you ever known of pain, and wished you could cure it? Then you’ve felt care . . . Please, Give it. Have you ever hurt, and been afraid to call out? Have you ever cried, hoping for some understanding Then you need care Please, reach for it. Have you ever hugged a friend, kissed your Dad, Said to Mom “I love you. Your chances are few; Do these things now . . . Please, with me. One of a teens best and most caring friends in a time of need is often of the same gender. There are so many times when one needs a friend to tell his or her problems to. Often a friend can pull you through some of the times you feel are the most trying experiences in your life. Also, a friend does not focus on or point out faults you may have, instead they are able to look past those faults and see only your positive abilities. When your mind is so full that it may burst, a friend will let you unload without making you feel like your push- ing it off on them. They accept you and understand you like no one else will ever be able to. They just seem to appear everytime you need them; It ' s so nice to know that someone out there cares about you, he she is Puppy Love. Keren Hemphill shares some lime with her friend Don Hammer end e mutel friend. 22 Bionic ‘I was here ■ No one cared’ “There was a small room off to the side of the gym at our school which the student council advisor used to store all of their junk Being the caring ' student council advisor that I was I would go into the room practically every day. And there sitting in a wooden chair right by the door inside the room was a young girl. I didn ' t know her, she was not a member of our council, but every day she was there Every once in a while I ' d say hello and smile, but usually I was just too busy to stop and talk. Then one day I went into the room and she wasn ' t there. It was as if someone had removed a piece of furniture. And there written in MARKS-A-LOT on the wall above the chair were these words, ‘I was here today, but nobody cared. This was a story told by Mr. Phil Gugliuzza who is the State Secretary for the Louisiana association of Student Councils. His point was simple, Be ware of the people around you who lack your friendship. Don ' t be too busy to day “hello ' ’ to a person who seems to disappear into the woodwork. They need you By shutting themselves in, they are desperately reaching out to anyone that will reach back. You can be that person. The term placed on these individuals is invisible . Most of these people are the “outcasts ' who are not invisible by their own making but rather by that of others, including ourselves. Many of us close our eyes to them as though we were too good for them or we take the attitude that there is nothing we can do to help, so why bother. But bothering them would possibly be all they need. So many invisible students are just afraid that they were to take some initiative, so they don ' t. So as a message to bothe the “invisible and the brightly shining, reach out to someone and let them know you care, and do it now. It really is important. Mr. Phil, as he is known throughout the country, left us with this story of a young man who reached out to him. “I received a call from a young man in Texas who simply said Mr. Phil, I buried my best friend today, and I never told him that I loved him. Now I II never get the chance. What a wonderful world this would be if all of its leaders were people who really cared. Leadership is a very im- portant thing to us as people, especially this year when we elect our most import- ant leader. We need a leader to keep us organiz ed and always moving in the right direction, but what good is a lead- er if he doesn ' t look back upon those that he is leading? We tend not to trust a leader who in turn doesn ' t care about us. Leaders are often chosen to cure prob- Believe It Or Not They Care. Shelly Erhert and Paige Quigley listen to the problems of a friend. lems for us, but in all fairness, a leader should cure problem with us, A leader Is not a person who will do everything by his or her self, but rather a person who will use his leadership ability to join together all those hero s he leads into one working force. To do this he must understand his role as leader not to be a controlling one, instead one of caring for those under him. In such a case, his subordinates will care about him and in so being, help him. Such cooperation makes for an effective leader. ? Bionfc 23 Homecoming Reving Into Spirit It begins in the heat of August and doesn ' t end until that chilly Friday night. We spend months just preparing for an event that is over in one day. Hours and hours go into folding and fluffing flowers. Well, maybe there was just a little bit of goofing around going on, but not too much. We never did any of the silly stuff at float meetings like those other classes. We always worked feverishly to finish our float. None of our float meetings got so carried away were people got thrown into a pool. No sir. Our float meetings never got out of hand. Those months of preparing were well worth it. To fire everyone up f or Homecoming week everyone dressed up according to the designated day. Days ranged from hat and tie to western day. The amount of students who participated was great. It seemed as though everyone really enjoyed dressing up and no one was at all embarrassed. Why should they be embarrassed, they only dressed up to show their support for their team. Jail House Rock.

Highland High ' s Trojan mascot and John Zaley enjoy the 1980 Homecoming parade J W V- |; | . I V - Are my eyes deceiving me? This year ' s homecoming which consisted of two kings and two queens was certainly a change of pace. Many people were surprised with the decision, but by the echoes of the crowd it was evident that the fans were pleased. Surely the 1980 Homecoming will be an unforgetable festivity. Other Programs which made homecoming a great success were the marching band and majorettes. Trojan pride could easily be seen in the parade and at the half time show. Also, the class floats were exhibited during the parade. The theme for the floats this year was different brands of cereals. The Junior class’ hard work and devotion paid off when their float entitled “Snap, Crackle, and Pop ' Em , took first place. The Freshman float received second place. Homecoming night on the football field was filled with suspense. During the first half of the game the score was Trojans-0, Red Devils-0. Roars from the crowd, which could easily be heard, showed the confidence they had in the fighting Trojans. As the game preceded the Trojans left their last homegame with triumphant victory over Lowell 13- 0. For many of the football players it was just another victory, but for those seniors it was the last game they would ever play on their home football field As you know, Homecoming is a time for the alumni of Highland High to return and meet up with their old friends. Everyone has picked a road in life and before you know it that old feeling of warmness returns and most wish they were back in high school. In the crowds of people you could notice the cheerful atmosphere and yet a sadness. A sadness which will lie in the hearts of people who have left Highland High School, toward a new future along with many new friends. A special treat that added to the spirit of the game, were two former head cheerleaders. The cheer on block enjoyed the cheers that the two alumnie performed. For many of the students it brought back memories from the past. Then again, it brought thoughts to some students for what they are up against in the future. 1. 2. 3. 4.

STRIVING FOR A TOUCHDOWN Junior Jack Birmingham runs vigorously to the goal line hoping anxiously to score! Rivalries ‘Eat Zucchini From “Seniors will conquer” to “Highland Trojans will kill Munster, we see rivalries. They are meant to be all-in-fun wars which let the members of a club, class, or school release en- ergy, enthasiasm, and express their pride for what they have worked so ar- dently to attain. Unfortunately, people sometimes-in fact increasingly often forget that they are supposed to be all-in-fun and turn them into genuine tear down-drag out wars. People get hurt and people’s friends get hurt, and the bright spirits that everyone started the day with become dulled, making things miserable for both sides of the game. However, rivalries are an impor tant part of school and they should continue to go on. But we all must remember that unity is a most important comodity in putting on a successful show or making the winning touch- down. It is necessary for all stu- dents to unite to form a winning class; for all classes to unite to form a winning school; and eventually for even the worst of Highland and Munster rivals to unite to form a winning team. A team that can overcome the biggest challenge of all-creating a winning world. Nobody does it better! These Highland girl ' s show Munster who ' s on top. Who owns the bridge? Munster may have won the game but Highland controls the bridge. I need a litle help. Nick Crnkovich calls for some assistance to get a Munster opponent. 28 ? We Beat ' em.

You know, the day you have at least three important tests you really crammed for the night before? And then you get to class and realize you didn ' t study enough or you studied so much that your mind can only draw a total blank? That can be one of the most de- pressing situations school can offer: it ' s e- nough to make you want to quit. But, it ' s all in how you handle the situation that determines the outcome. Things have a hard time coinciding. When you re- alize that your grades are really taking a dive, it seems like everything else is going wrong too. Your parents are giving you hassles, and if they aren ' t, either your friends, your date, your job, or your sport is. Getting the right timing on life can be a real problem! Being a human dynamo is never easy. Once you concentrate on one thing, say your grades, it appears that you ' re lacking even worse with your friends and parents. It isn ' t fair when things barely fit together, and striving for further unification looks impossible. This is the time when you need to sit down and evaluate yourself. Are you giving enough time to the things you want to do, or are you trying to please everyone else instead? Before you can please others you must first please your- self. When you find yourself having this kind of trouble you have to remember that all of the act- ivities and people are what make up the individual you. Without even one of those different things your life would not be unique. You must decide for your own self how to organize your time. It may require more time for your studies than for someone else ' s, but that’s where the difference is. You are you and how you organize your life is what makes you a person. And, people will always have problems; besides, what ' s life without a few difficulties? r- No Problem!

Do your homework, get your hair cut, don ' t forget to . . . They ' re there, aren ' t they; those ever-impending, incredibly invading questions. The pressure is so great that you can almost feel the physical aspect of it. They expect so much from you, your teachers, parents, and friends, that you ' re on the verge of catastrophe. Don ' t they realize that you are only human and that you can only take so much? Just when you think they understand, they seem to press you even further. If you ' re one of those people who just sits back and says, I really don ' t care!” then you are letting the situation get the best of you. It ' s when you find yourself saying that you don ' t care, that you know you care the most. School is supposed to ready you for life and the future troubles and joys you will find yourself experiencing. It is the foundation upon which your ability to cope with pressure is established. It is unbelievable the effects pressure has on each individual. Some cannot survive without it, while others crumble at the mere sensation of it. Yet, when a philosophical view questions the existence of it, the answer is always the same: pressure is a necessary facet of life. Since school seems to be a major source of pressure, it seems fundamental to develop your approach to it while you ' re still in school. First of all, NEVER BE AFRAID. No matter what kind of fix you ' re in, you are never alone; someone else at some time had to have or is having the same problem. Secondly, think positive; if you don ' t have some type of confidence in yourself, you can’t expect anyone else to! Finally, give it your best shot; that ' s all anyone can ask of you — to do your own personal best. You get out exactly what you put into something, so if your approach is weak, so will be your results. And, you must always strive for more — never just settle for something. Have enough pride in yourself to want more, enough drive to go for more, and enough courage to get more. Hmmm, What do I do now? Junior Anne Garretson contemplates her options for after the game — home or pizza? WHY? WHY? WHY? Puzzled and confused as to her next move. Junior Brigette Nordyke takes a minute for depression ? 31 Those Rowdie Fans! Try, just for a moment, to imagine one of our games without the bleacher bums — the sports nuts who, for one reason or another, frequent the gymnasium and football stand through thick and thin. Just for a second, try to picture the emptiness and silence at a sectional volley- ball game; the absence of fever pitched screams at a Munster football game; or the lack of joyous embraces at the last basketball game. It’s like trying to envision a Christmas with- out gifts; good news without a smile; or a party without friends. These bleacher bums never fail to shout and root, clamor and chant, regardless of slicing cold winds or unexpected downpours. Like a trustworthy friend, they are always there, ready to console at a defeat and to jubi- late at a victory. When you think about it, it’s not an over- statement to say that bleacher bums are as important as the players themselves. With- out them, the purpose of the diligent practice and constant concentration would be lost; there would be no one to awe a spectacular inter- ception or applaud a saving basket. The bleacher bums provide our teams with a moti- vation which is invaluable to a victorious team.

All eyes are glued to our players as an amusing skit is performed at the Homecoming pep rally. E I Grover, Gina Reign! A pep rally, homecoming mums, a dance, and a lot of spirit all were part of the 1981 homecoming festivities. After the victory over the Red Devils from Michigan City Elston, the couples got together with their friends, and had a great time at the dance sponsored by the lettergirls. It was a night to remember for most, especially for Gina Cwiok and Gerry Groves (Grover) as they reigned over all for the evening. They were crowned king and queen by Donna Bauer and Kent Sieb. The royal court consisted of Jennifer Sowinski, Leslie Velasquez, Lynne Murray, Louise Zappia, Ben Puntillo, Jeff Lopeka, Dave Zarndt, and Frank Horvath. The freshman prince and princess were Tom Crowel and Kellie Dunn; the sophomores chose Gregg Hoffman and Lisa Boatman; and the winners representing the junior class were Mike Kerber and Anne Garretson. Friday there was a pep rally, sponsored by student council, in honor of our victorious Trojans to arouse the spirit of homecoming. It began with a well executed routine by the majorettes, followed by a few cheers by the cheerleaders. The princes and princesses were announced along with the court as they took their 34 Basketball Homecoming formal stand out on the gymnasium floor. Later the basketball players were called upon to receive carnations and a cake preceeding the evenings game. Mr. Mazur spoke of the teams excellent talent not to forget their great record, which really made the Trojan fans go wild. The pep rally was wrapped up by the traditional playing of the school song as everyone left in good spirits. The evening was brought to a finishing touch as our Trojans defeated the Red Devils 63 to 56. Everyone left with memories and many hopes for an upcoming Sectional Championship. The Highland 1981 Homecoming couldn ' t have turned out to be more perfect for the Highland Trojans as they walked away with the entire evening, a success in every sense of the word.

Climaxing the evening, the band played The Rose”, the theme song, for the last slow dance. With its last note, Turnabout 1980 was cincluded and ready to become a happy memory for all of those who had participated in it. Traditionally, a post-Turnabout dinner is had by all. Couples meet together at previously specified restaurants to enjoy good food and good friends. Some popular spots include Tivoli’s, The Black Knight, and Harolds Club.

Highland High School offers a wide variety of choices for students interested in belonging to a club or organization. The clubs in Highland High range from sports aspect, such as the Bowling Club, to in-depth personality clubs like the Philatellic Club and Dungeons and Dragons. Thanks to The many dedicated teachers who sponsor these clubs, Highland High continually grows in the amoung of participation in active, well-grounded organizations. One of the most recent additions to the long list of clubs is the Dungeons and Dragons group. There are also clubs whose main purpose is honorary, such as the National Honor Society, Language Clubs, and Quill and Scroll, for journalism students. Soon to be joining the ranks of a club that will serve to coordinate activities between all clubs. This will be known as the interclub council, and promises to make organizations even stronger at Highland. Student Council, one of the largest clubs in the school, has been gaining state wide recognition for its programs and involvement not only in the school, but in the community as well. It recently hosted a convention for other student councils around the state, and one of the most successful ventures this year has been the blood drive, held in November with cooperation from the Red Cross. Another club which shows great energy is GRAMS, Highland ' s talented science students who continue to win major honors at regional and state meetings. FHA, with Mrs. Erwin, keeps up a steady pace of work, and as all Highland clubs move through the year, students learn many valuable skills to take into their adult lives. Replay Play!

There now, the set is complete. Okay • lights down and it ' s quiet backstage. The house opens and everyone in the cast and crew of the 1980 Fall production of Play it Again, Sam is brimming with nervous anxiety. In just half an hour the curtain will open and the audience will determine within a single night the fate of the play. For weeks, both the cast and the crew have been working on the play for five to six hours a night after school, eating Big Macs and Quarter Pounders for dinner and listening to harried parents and a fastideous director. But in spite of all the drudgery, there is nowhere they would rather be than working on the play. Another theater group closely related to Drama Club is the Monbeck Auditorium Staff. But while Drama puts on three shows a year, Aud. Staff takes care of the outside shows. Before the shows begin, they are busy backstage pointing lights and setting up the stage. It gives students the chance to learn about the technical aspects involved in a variety of shows. And for those who just couldn ' t stay away during the summer, a new theater group was formed for people from twelve to twenty years old all over the region called the Calumet Regional Theater. Thanks to the Drama director, R.W. Lemon and Larry Brechner, many students from all over got the chance to work on the big musical production How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. It was a big musical and the whole school was bustling with activities geered toward making the play the success it was. Now, Look!

This year ' s cheerleaders and majorettes did a fantastic job of showing everyone how much class we have at Highland High. At each and every game the girls executed their cheers and routines with expertise and precision. When the girls begin their performances they show the style and poise that make them the best squads in the Calumet Region. The hours of practice they put in can be seen in their every motion. How underestimated they are; they deserve a lot of credit. Throughout the summer the girls still don ' t quit. They practice for the various camps and competitions they plan on attending. The summer of 1980 seemed to be especially productive for the cheerleaders. While they were at Notre Dame for their camp they won many honors. They returned home with ribbons for spirit, jumps, and originality. They also received the most spirited award. The varsity squad got the third place trophy in a fair. The majorettes season proved to be re- warding too. They accompanied the band in a fifth place at NISBOVA, a seventeenth place in the state, and many more truly excellent performances.

The members of FHA and the Building Trades class certainly know this is true. You may wonder what they could possibly have in common. Even though these groups of people appear very different, they combine their talents when it comes to building and decorating a house. Building Trades is a class in which students actually build a house. They are supervised by Mr. Sieb. There are two classes, the morning ( 1 -3) and the afternoon (4-6) period. This gives students the experience of what construction work is really like and will help them in the future through the experience they had aquired. FHA is a club that is responsible for catering specials affairs such as Open House and Prom. It is lead by Mrs. Erwin. There is a ski trip and also a trip to Great America offered. They decorate the house which is built by the Building Trades classes. During the school year FHA also sells candy and donuts every Thursday. HERE WE COME Shelley Payne.

They spend much of their time and talent creating music, and their efforts are shown in the concerts they perform. They work hard at perfecting notes and rhythm, and they take pride in getting it right. The choir, chorus, and boy ' s glee club, under the direction of Mr. Gordon Wilder, hold three concerts a year, the most important of these is the Christmas Concert. It contains a jubilee of songs by all the choral groups, including the candlelight procession by the choir. The Choral Department isn ' t all work. This year, they enjoyed many different types of activities. The Lyric Opera House again opened its doors to the chorus and choir, as they enjoyed the performances of several opera stars in Don Giovanni. Other activities included a tour of the opera house and the Choral Festival at Hobart, in which the choir participated. The choir also had fun putting together a float for their first entry in the Homecoming parade. Another of these talented groups is the Orchestra, which is headed by Miss Lisa Antonio. The Orchestra, which consists mostly of stringed instruments, spends a lot of time practicing and planning for their performances each year. They hold three concerts a year, and they also participate in the N.I.S.B.O.B.A competition. Kevin Novak, Garrett Klemm, Mike Danko, and Dianne Orban went on to the All State Orchestra in Indianapolis. Along with their concerts, the Orchestra also performs for different associations, such as the Kiwanis, the Rotary Club, and the annual art fair at the Highland Public Library. They also perform at Commencement. WE ARE NUMBER ONE!

Many people feel they did their job extremely well for a first year rifle squad. In addition to the direction of Mr. Joeseph Manfredo the band also received the help of Mr. Bill Kimla, new to Highland High School. This year there were three drum majors. The head drum major was senior Jon Zaley and his assistants, senior Caroline Smiddy and junior John Kansky. Also helping out the band this year was the Highland Marching Trojans Band Boosters. Overall, The Trojan Pride Marching Band has had another successful season. ALL IN TONE. Members of the Highland Marching Trojans display their musical talents during the fourth of July parade. SHOWING THEIR CLASS. Drum Majors Caroline Smiddy. Jon Zaley. and John Kansky lead the way to another smashing performance. KEEPING THE BEAT. Keeping the proper step in band comes much easier when the snare drums help keep the beat. This year. The Trojan Pride Band is making its mark by showing other bands and people that they are not just your ordinary band. Perfect marching along with memorized music and many painstaking hours of practice made this marching season a complete success. This marching season the band was involved in several competitive contests, such as the Plano Illinois competition, where they recaptured a first place rating. After this the trojan pride band traveled to the annual N.I.S.B.O.V.A. contest where they placed in the top five. They then went on to do the show again at the state marching contest held at Indiana State University where they obtained a first division rating. Further plans for the Trojan Pride include a tour to the New Orleans Mardi Gras Festival where they may play a few concerts. Joining the band this year was a new rifle squad under the direction of senior Donna Jaska.

This is partially due to the requirements that all students take at least one year of science in high school. Students have a choice whether to take a biology or a general science class. In addition to these courses, they have the option of furthering their scientific urges with chemistry or earth science. If students at Highland are really into” science they have the opportunity to join G.R.A.M.S.. They meet once a week to discuss and experiment the newest scientific discoveries. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Cheryl Mason. Each science class is usually changed either slightly or a great deal from year to year. This year was no exception. Biology classes are now adding more emphasis on written tests, and chemistry classes are mainly concerned with self analysis and conclusions. This years science staff at Highland proved to be one of the best. The Department Head this year was Mr. Lee Farley, who teaches physics. The team of Mr. Larry Johnson, Mrs. Cheryl Mason, and Mr. Herb Schimdt helped the biology students learn about life. Chemistry teachers this year were Mrs. Eunice Dorton, Mrs. Katheleen Reitz, and Mr. Wilson, a newcomer to Highland High. All in all, this year ' s science program has been one of the best, if not the best year for students at Highland. All of the staff contributed greatly to the teaching of science to their students. Many people, students and teachers alike will remember Highland for its great science program. 50 The Mad Scientist. Dave McDonald experiments with dye in biology class. The Boss.

Behind the scenes Many of the people who participate in school functions, work behind the scenes. They perform all the necessary tasks that makes what they do a success. The swimmerettes and the Mat Maids are two such groups. During the year, the Swimmerettes attend all the meets. They can be found at any one, wearing a stopwatch and recording various swimmer ' s times. Along with their usual duties and responsibilities, they also find time to decorate the swimmer ' s lockers before special meets. They support their team in good and bad times and help encourage them to do their best. The Mat Maids also holds mets. These wrestling meets are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Mat Maids do different jobs, such as scoring and timing the matches, clearing the mats, taking admission, and handing out programs. They also hold extra activities, such as hay rides, in order to become better acquainted with the team they support. Some of Highland ' s less glamorous jobs, although the school couldn ' t do Busy and Happy. Tammy Dillman and Marci Bokash are part of the Swimmerettes. another active group. Officers All. Mat maid officers are Mel Ashby. Tracy Toth. Diane Mohan, and Gia Coppi without them, are the aides. These are the student who volunteer their time during the year to help in the classrooms or in one of the high school offices. They answer the phones, run messages, to others, check over students papers, and other necessary things that the teachers, nurses, and secretaries have time to do. They spare the administration time that can be used to help other students with problems, assignments, or future education. I’ll Get it!

Just to give a measley speech? That is masachistic! It just isn ' t worth it! It ' s worth it for the members of the speech and debate team. If they make it to the finals, it’s worth the sacrafice of missing a few hours sleep to travel to another part of the state. The feeling of knowing that you participated, the feeling of success and accomplishment, and the feeling of satisfaction make it worth it. What do the members of the debate team do? Debaters, of course, debate. A topic is picked that lasts for the whole year-it is changed every January. They research it, find facts-either pro or con, depending on which way they plan to go- write, and deliver their speech. All the while they are hoping that their opponent will have no defense to their brilliant speech. They want to show the judges that they have the most convincing point. Speakers have different events which different members of the team do. Some may choose Interpt. events. These are cuttings from humorous dramatic plays, selections of poetry or speech that already went to nationals, or duo. Some will choose to do original oratation. Still others will do radio broadcasting or impromptu. There are three rounds each meet; and if they rank high, they go on to a final round. Later in the season which lasts from fall to midspring-there is a sectional and regional competition. If they place there, they will then go on to the state meet. Whoever, then, places first at state goes on to the nationals competition. WE ARE FAMILY. Joyce Petrin and the speech time take time out of their busy schedule to take a group picture.

They have many other activities which are held as entertainment for student’s and teachers alike. Numerous convocations, the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Christmas Door Decorating Contest, and a Halloween party for teachers are just a few of their activities that they hold throughout the year. Student Council even sponsors a blood drive to help those who are in need of blood for various reasons. What many people do not know is that Student Council is an organization that helps the students with their problems that concern the administration and teachers. They can even help other clubs with their troubles. Student Council holds their meetings on a rotating basis once a week. They have two terrific sponsors; Ms. Halpin and Mrs. Bush devote a lot of their free time to help the council to plan fund raisers and new and exciting events for the students enjoyment. The officers of Student Council are President, Mary Hepburn, Vice Pres. Tracy Wyatt, Corresponding Sec. Shannon Harkin, Recording Sec. Faith Reynolds (1st semester) Jamie Dachel, (2nd semester), Treasurer Nancy McDonald, and Parliamentarian Dave Horwath. In the summer, the council sponsors two trips that improve leadership qualities and skills. The council hopes that all who are interested join in. I Agree Totally.

Already not even two years into this new decade many changes have occured in our nation as well as others. With the arrival of ' 81 this nation has a new president in office. With Reagan, who stepped in on the 20th of January, many changes are expected to take place in our government. First of all, the republicans have taken over in the senate. To some this means the economy will be cut, minimum wage will be lowered. Reagan took the oath of office about fifteen minutes before the hostages left Iran, flying toward Germany and freedom. Reagan has promised to do a lot of things in his term in office, but will four years be enough? Or will we amend the Constitution to make the presidential term longer? These and many other questions are left unanswered, but this nation will just have to wait and see. The Olympics were one of the festivities that also helped to bring in this new decade. Just like everything else in the world, politics had the biggest influence on these games. The (Jpited States hosted the Winter games, but refused to even participate in the summer games unless the Russians withdrew their troops from Afghanistan. They didn ' t meet our demands, and so this year our athletes did not compete for an honor they worked four years to train for. The television series “Dallas , starring Larry Hagman, put the world in an uproar with one simple phrase, Who shot J.R.? This subject was the topic of conversation for a long time, because the series ended and left the people in suspense. Not until the new season started in October did this country find out who shot J.R., after having to wait another month because of the actors strike. J.R., the person everyone loves to hate, seemed to upset everyone as if he was one of the family or a close friend. Anticipating the new season each person had picked and blamed someone else for the shooting. Sue Ellyn was one of the favorites, and like J.R. made the front of People magazine as the most talked about actress. Though for all of you who thought it was Sue Ellyn, you were proved wrong when she underwent hypnosis to figure out it was her beloved sister Cristin. Other important shows, that are mainly to inform the people and aid the news are That ' s Incredible, Real People, 2020 and “60 Minutes.” These shows give you more than a brief introduction of what’s in the news. That ' s Incredible” is a series that is an outlandish but real account of incredible stunts unknown to the world. On the other hand, Good Morning America is a live interview show that gives you a chance to get to know its’ stars. The biggest attractions are usually stars from the afternoon soap operas. These shows along with 20-20 and 60 Minutes” are the best way this nation has on informing us of the deep dark secrets behind the news rather than getting a brief entry. All in the family.

Not everybody likes to go to them day after day, but everybody does (most of the time). Some people feel that the ultimate way to perfect school would be to eliminate the class. But then where, when, and how would we meet our friends. Where else would we learn so many important things, even if by accident sometimes. Math, English, Language, Science- they all teach us, if nothing else, how to cope and survive under “impossible conditions. Condi- tions under which students find themselves slipping into sleep or noticing new cracks in classroom walls. Classes seem to drag on for- ever, thanks to those endless lectures and in class themes (Who makes up those topics?). Yet somehow we make it through with a witty remark from an Economics teacher in rebuttal to a few witty remarks from an Economics student. Maybe the driving force pushing us through is a filmstrip in History, a “Cultural Experience in Spanish, French, or German, or maybe it ' s a movie in Math, like Donald Duck in Mathemagicland . It may even be one good class that balances out with the rest and re- moves some of the struggle. Perhaps it’s one good friend that makes the day seem bearable and kind of great. Or maybe its yourself. Classes are just what you make of them. Why not make them fun? Creativity On The Move It is in creativity that one can allow his imagination to roam freely. Without it, life would become dull and not allow much room for change. Here at Highland, we encourage the use of imagination and creativity. Art and Music are two of the courses that we have which allows students to be creative. In these classes, people can develop their talents with the help of a teacher. The Art department consists of beginning art, advanced art, and art appreciation. These classes are not only designed to develop students ' talents, but they also aquaint them with the various styles of the men who developed them. There are, of course, craft classes that can also be taken. While some students take these classes just to get a chance to relax, there are other students who are very interested and serious about their talents. Along with the visual arts, we also have musical arts. During the year, our music department gives us concerts to attend. Included in the music department is Beginning Chorus, Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and Choir. Besides just singing, we have a group known as the Chamber Singers. It is composed of sixteen members. They sing and dance in front of audiences. They have performed at our school as well as at different restaurants and conventions. Creativity is an important part of life and of our culture. Arts and music help to make life a little more enjoyable and pleasing to the eye. Highland High School does it part in trying to help develop students’ talents in these two areas. THE ARTISTIC POINT OF VIEW. Bruce Long plans ahead for his next project. He is responsible for the artwork on this year ' s yearbook. ALL IN TUNE.

Chris Majerik is obviously working hard on her assignment in Accounting class A LITTLE HELP. Mr. Owens will put Jeff Chenore on the right track to getting his assignment finished. Numbers make the world go round • at least if that world happens to be business or math. Together these two worlds combine to help us grow and strive towards a more successful future. Here at Highland High School, students are gearing themselves to learn how to cope with all of the responsibilities of an adult world. After all, this is our world and what we make of it all depends on how much we put into it. Ever since we first began going to school, math has been stressed as a very important class. It is easy to understand why this is so. Math can be used as a fundamental basic needed for everyday living, and it is also used in the minute complexities of computers. Our world is becoming more and more computerized. We need to have people who know how to operate and improve upon these computers. Math prepares us for this. What good would all of this knowledge do us if there wasn’t some practical way to arrange it? Here is where our business classes work. Future secretaries will be busy typing, filing, and carrying on a firm’s activities. Accountants will be needed to keep books balanced. Many students start to become aquainted with these business techniques in high school. Typing, Shorthand, and Notehand are offered for any future secretaries. We can also learn some of the basics in Accounting, General Business, and Business Machines along with other useful classes. With the combined efforts of all people’s talents, this world will be sure to be taking a step off in the right direction. Just as two heads can work better than one, so can two areas of knowledge. As students, we are now trying to obtain some of this much needed knowledge for our future. Business And Hath 73 Listen.

Without a language it becomes increasingly difficult of people to communicate with one another. This world is so large that it is no wonder that so many different types of languages and cultures involved. We are all accustomed to English because it is our native language. Highland High School does it part in trying to provide us with a working knowledge of our language. Mr. Stuber is the head of our English department. Over the years, our English department has become increasingly more powerful. All students are required to take four years of English, and there is also an acclerated classes offered to perpare students for college. English is not the only language spoke throughout our world, and it is not the only language taught in our school. Spanish is offered which often proves to be the language that most students pick to take. Highland also offers the chance to learn French and German. All of these foreign languages are under Mrs. Hoyda. Our foreign language department does not stop with the academical aspect. It flows into creating clubs and activities for students to get involved in. There is also a program for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders offered. It is the Academically Talented Program which provides these choosen children to taste the very basics of each of these languages. Although language and distance manages to seperate people, here at Highland High School we are doing our part to build a bridge over that gap. One thought, though, is that all people no matter where they live or what language they speak have a common language. A simple smile can often express far more than a whole mouthful of words could ever be able to say. Even though people have their out ward appearances, they also have some very similiar traits.

Students in these classes learn about the trades. Mot all students find themselves going into professional capacities, but just about all are happy to have had some degree of apt training. Whether it ' s making a baseball bat or printing a T-shirt, Shop students find enjoyment from their work. Like any other class, industrial art classes are not easy; but unlike other classes at Highland there is a certain amount of pride in the work done, and often a finished product which can be displayed or even used. Cinder department head Mr. Bert Poi, the department flourishes with hard working students. New ideas keep coming from the department, and most of them are welcome. Some of the teachers have been around for a while and others are fairly new, but all are quite qualified. Teaching the printing classes is Department head Mr. Poi. Mr. Dave Owen leads the drafting classes. Heading up the Auto Shop classes is Mr. Eli Maricich. Doing the teaching for Electronics is Mr. John Gionotti. Taking control of woods is Mr. Robert Mastej, and finally in the metal shop Mr. Douglas Pearson does the teaching. True, the department doesn’t get all that much in the way of publicity, but in no way should that suggest that they are undeserving of it. A good look at some of the wonderful projects the industrial art department has put out is worthy of some recognition. For example, the sign in the electronics showcase that proudly displays some of Highland’s accomplishments. All in all the Highland High School industrial arts department is an ever active, ever growing, and ever important part of quality education.

Shaping Up P.E. Style Run, jump, kick, stretch, move! This is what physical education is all about. It teaches us to use the muscles in our body that usually remain idle. It is so easy for us to let our bodies become inactive. There are cars to take us where we want to go, television to keep us entertained, and plenty of places to sit and eat at. No wonder so many people manage to neglect their body’s fitness. This is why physical education steps in. It gets us moving, and it helps us to put all of those idle muscles back into use. More importantly, though, it helps get people interest ed in a sport of exercise program to keep themselves in shape. The human body is so very complex. It is amazing how everything works inside of us to make us live. Many people spend hours working on their cars or cleaning a house. Isn ' t your body much more important than any object could ever be? It only makes sense that we should do all we can to keep it operating at it ' s peak. Most people don ' t even know how much potential their body has. You can perform many amazing demonstrations of power by trying. Remember, if you take good care of your body - it will take good care of you. Besides, a healthy body will help you feel and look your best. Physical Education 79 A Perfect Fit. Mrs. Skertic checks to see that Gina Bank ' s outfit fits her perfectly for comfortable wear. Cucumbers?! Cindy McDaniel wonder what they will have to prepare next in Mrs. Damasius ' class. Cut Ops.

Are you a confirmed eater of T. V. dinners when Mom isn’t home to cook? Do you frequently burn boiling water or have trouble making soft-boiled eggs? If you can answer yes to at least one of these questions, read on. The simple solution to your problem is a course in foods which is offered from home economics. In this class one can learn from the fundamental basic of cooking all the way up to its finer points. What ' s more is that you can learn all of this and at the same time enjoy yourself. What can be better than working on a project with a group of friends and then eating the results. Home economics has changed over the years. It was once a class taken strictly by girls. Today many guys are taking advantage of the knowledge and the fun that it offers. Cooking is just one of the classes that home economics offers. Another interesting and useful class is sewing. We all know how it feels to walk into a store and find nothing that suits our tastes. What is even worse is to find something that we like only to discover that it comes in the wrong size or the color that you absolutely hate. In sewing you can learn not only how to make your own clothes, but also how to design them. Imagine that. You can save money, but at the same time prevent that embarrassing situation of seeing your outfit running around on a dozen other bodies on the same day that it is on yours. Home economics also gives you the chance to take family living. This class is not just a sex education class like most people like to believe. It teaches you a lot of the different responsibilities that come along with a family. It also is a place to freely discuss a lot of your feelings with others. These classes are more than just easy credits or a class for busy homemakers. It offers a lot of information that will prove to be very valuable in the future. Let ' s face it, a person will not get very far in life trying to survive off of fast food restaurants or off of frozen dinners. Also with inflation today learning to sew your own clothes can bring down your budget. Someday the tips taught to us through home economics will prove to be very valuable. Home Ec 81 Social Studies Learning for life Who was the third president? What job does a senator perform, or who decides how much a product costs? These are just a few of the questions that you will be able to answer after taking a social studies class. But, social studies is a little more than just a few mere facts that you memorize in order to pass a test. It provides us with the vital information that we need in order to live here in the United States. It is very important that we, as future voting citizens, understand the workings of our country. It also gives us a sense of pride in our country. Through U S. History, we find our how our country was first born; and we see how it grew into what it now is. We also have Economics class which explains to us how our, and other, economies work. Everyone is concerned about their money- Econ will teach you how our money system works. Another issue that affects each one of us in the laws which are passed by our government. Each one of us should contain some knowledge about how laws are made and passed. Government provides us with this plus much more information. These three classes are required to be taken by every junior and senior. They give us good background information on which to further our education in the social studies field. Three more classes that are provided are Psychology, Sociology, and World History. Although these classes are not required, a large number of students seem to want to take them. They give us a lot of knowledge that is interesting to learn. If you go into a social studies course with the attitude of expecting to be bored, you most likely will be quite bored. By going into the class with a little desire to learn, you will not be disappointed at all. CONCENTRATION. Harry Feurhaupter gives all of his attention to the lecture in history class.

A terrible mis- take is often made where people are segregat ed. not by race or color but by life style. Some go willingly, often to escape responsi- bility as an individual: others go not so willingly into an exile as a burn out or a rah”. If only we could realize the import- ance of the person and the friendship they have to offer. There will come a time when we will wish we had said hello to that quiet person, or gotten to know that teacher a little better. Rather than open ourselves to the great friendship that could happen, we classify people and close ourselves to all but those “certain people. The only thing that really matters is people. Without them in our life what purpose can there be in the illusions of wealth, fame, success, or power It is said people alien ate themselves by not getting involved, and being apathetic . Apathy does not exist! Everybody cares about something. Perhaps a better reason for non-involement is the way some students are made unwelcome by others. They begin to feel that nobody cares about them. We have the responsibility of showing them we do care.

So many new faces, and so many people bigger than you were! And then there were the halls, the rooms, the maze of everything which eventually became a well defined and easy to understand place called Highland High School! Now that freshman year is almost over, it’s easy to forget the feeling of being lost. You survived — and everything worked out for the best. One good thing to remember about coming to a new place is just that fact — you do survive, and everything has a way of working out! There are many other new places and many new faces up ahead in your life. If you can learn from the experience you had as a freshman, you’ll always have more confidence and courage for facing life.

Gloria Vanderbilt jeans are out — and Levis are in (They always were!) Caked on makeup is out — natural, little make up is in. For some odd reason, everybody always has to be more up to date than the Joneses. Why Mainly because people like to have the feeling of superiority that accompanies being up on the latest trend. But what exactly is a trend? The most popular trend that has always been been around, but which most people fail to recognize one should dress to suit oneself. Most people usually buy for their mental tastes, without considering their bodies. For example, an overweight girl should try shopping for darker colors and looser-fitting clothes. Also, don ' t just buy the first thing you see; shop around! Your personality is what gives you flare, not your clothes. Wear clothes you feel comfortable in, for comfort affects the total appearance of an outfit. If you don ' t feel at east in your clothes, it will show. The essence of grace is conservation of movement. Your attire, like your frangrance, makes a statement about yourself. Perfume also says a lot about your inner qualities. A conservative person should wear a subtle fragrance; some more outgoing people can get away with wearing heavier scents. Whatever you decide to wear, remember it always says something about you. Every individual trait about you is what makes up and gives you your own personal style. Whether you ' re outrageous, shy, outgoing, or romantic, your clothes will reflect that about you, and people will begin to react to you accordingly. Remember, trendy is out, unique, personal style is in. The more you are yourself, the more you will be comfortable in your clothes, and comfortable with the person you are. Style? You can ' t really buy it. It comes from you — and the great person you are! Guidance Helps Also of great aid to incoming freshmen. Guidance Office secretary, Phyllis Fulka, helps Charlene Meyer. Eve Kwasneski, and John Hanyzewski to find needed informa- tion for college admission and financial aid. Even Grading Tests will not dampen the spirits of Alge- bra teacher Martin Kessler.

Does the girl ever feel the slightest bit obligated to at least split the cost? What if the girl asked the guy out, who pays then? Most of the boys asked felt they should pay no matter what the circumstances. The same went for the girls, they usually felt it was their dates ' responsibility to pay. The majority of the boys who said they would always pay, weren ' t sure why they felt they should pay all the time, but would usually say it was probably their egos that wouldn ' t let their dates pay their own way. Others said they thought it was expected of them or it was just socially accepted. Some girls said they wouldn ' t mind pay ing some of the time if their dates would let them (which was seldom). Many said they had been spending more evenings at home, where one or the other would make dinner for the two of them. Quite a few said they were going to movies in the after- noon instead of at night because it was much cheaper then. Why do we spend so much on our dates? They ' re people we aren’t especially close to, yet we spend more than we should on them. Most that were asked said they us- ually were trying to impress their date so the cost was no factor. Still, most of the girls surveyed said it wasn’t the cost of the date that made an impression on them, but it was their date ' s personality. On the Shelf?

Once you ' ve listed your reasons, there are some things you should be realistic about: skipping meals does not make you lose weight faster; your body can take food in the morning, in fact, it needs breakfast more than any other meal during the day; don ' t expect to lose more than 2 or 3 pounds a week; try not to exceed 1,500 calories a day; and, be sure to include an exercise routine in your schedule — if you just cut down on calories, you won ' t lose as many inches as when you exercise also. Most likely you’ve heard all of this before, and you either didn ' t believe it or obviously didn ' t pay attention. The majority of girls surveyed were dieting, and most of them admitted to skipping meals — especially breakfast. Many of them also agreed that they felt famished at the end of the day and were giving way to sizable binges later in the day. Two of the healthier ways to diet are still the same. First of all, if you feel you must make a sacrifice when mealtime rolls around, cut down on the amount you eat, but always eat three well-balanced meals a day. Try to keep yourself busy during the day. Most of those surveyed said they ate most when they were bored, alone, or just watching television. Try taking up a sport or redecorating your bedroom. The main thing is to keep yourself occupied the first few days to get out of the habit of munching. Or you can have those little snacks, but change what you snack on. Dieting can be healthy and beneficial if you approach it carefully and in a positive way. So shape up and eat smart! Scott Rosenau. Diane Ross, Mark Ross, Brian Roth- child.

How many times have any of us heard this statement! A number of things could have caused this feeling. The person might have been walking down the hall, smiling and greeting friends, only to discover that something was wrong with his clothes. Or, while descending the bleachers to accept an award, or in a crowded gymnasium, in front of the entire school, the person might have tripped and fallen unceremoniously to the floor. Instead of some monumental mishap, the cause of embarrassment could have been something as simple as a wrong answer given. Things affect people differently, so something as trivial as being called on in a class discussion will not phase some, while others may be embarrassed to tears. Some people are lucky enough to possess an aptitude for evading any form of embarrassment. Having all eyes upon them, they could do anything and not give it a second thought. They are at ease and are sure of themselves, which they then project to others around them. The ability of these people to bypass any embarrassment probably stems from the fact they don ' t especially care what others think. They place themselves and their opinions above the criticism of others, and have learned the big secret — to be secure, first be secure in yourself! If you ' re not fortunate enough to have established this trait in yourself, the best thing to do is modify an old saying and learn from your embarrassments. The more often you get embarrassed, the easier it will be to handle the next time. The threat of possible embarrassment will stifle your unique personality by preventing you from showing your true self and voicing your opinions. Speaking out for what you believe in and telling others what you think are two necessary things for overcoming embarrassment. If you are unable to conquer this, then try starting to ease out of embarrassment ' s grip. Things will happen that will make you want to either crawl in a hole, hide your head in the sand, or pray for the ground to open and swallow you whole; that ' s life. One thing to remember, though, is to look on the humorous side of whatever happens to embrarras you, or pretend it happened to someone else. The best way to handle embarrassment is often just to laugh things off. If you can get to the point where you let others laugh with you, Don’t be embarrassed; be yourself!

We are all victims of many things — but there is one thing some teens consider a fate worse than death. Ah yes, — infamous Saturday night! It can lead to many things, the most common being the Saturday night blues. This expression is appropriate when you have absolutely nothing to do and when twiddling your thumbs and washing your hair become two of the most exciting prospects of the evening! What can you do to avoid falling into the clutches of the Saturday Night Blues? First — get organized! If you start with two or more different plans, then if one does not work out, you always have the other option to fall back on. And if in the end it all fails, at least you have some good ideas for what to do the following weekend. Although you may not believe it, there are many possibilities for Saturday night. Most of them don’t even cost a lot of money. For instance, you can go roller skating, to the movies, or down to your favorite fast food place. There are also many things to do that cost little or nothing. You can go over to a friend ' s house, bake something, go to the library, or dive into the many good popular books which are on the market today. You can be miserable if you want to be. You can also grab the world by the tail and decide to call your own shots. Boredom is not having anything to do; it’s feeling you have nothing to do!

Pressures from many sources shape our lives — maybe for the better or maybe for the worse. Pressures range from parent problems to high school hassles and peer pressure. Parent pressure could be caused by the way you dress for school, or various other reasons. Maybe it comes because you feel your parents have been too strict after you have broken a minor rule. Many teens think grounding is an excessive punishment. There are times when parents don’t like a teen’s friends, and that can be a problem. One thing a teen should learn to do in this case is look at the parent’s point of view. There may be reasons for their decisions, and often these reasons may be good and legitimate. Problems in school can range anywhere from grades to not getting along with a certain teacher. One thing which teens get upset about is grades — especialy if there is a lot of pressure from home. Parents can keep teens from using the car or even ground them if they feel their children are not giving enough to their school work, and because of this there can be a lot of tension in the home. There are two sides to this. No one should be expected to study all the time, or to produce more than realistically possible. Parents should be made to realize this. On the other hand, teens should face up to the fact the world today demands certain knowledge and skills, and because of this, their future success must be helped in every way possible. Even if a subject seems boring or inconsequential, there is material there which needs to be learned, and discipline and use of one ' s mind which need to be developed. Another thing which teens find a problem area is the need to “fit in”. True, no one likes to be alone all the time, and good friends are always a bonus for sharing the good and bad times. When some teens start selling out their real values and ideals just to belong to a certain group, however, there can be nothing but trouble ahead. One way to solve this problem is to look at the adult world. The true adult is his own man or woman; there is no need to conform just to be accepted. And when one lives the way he feels is right, there are people of similar likes and interests and values who are always there, waiting to share friendship and ideas. There is no need to be alone; there is a need, though, to find the right kind of friends who will allow the individual to be himself, and who will be able to share the real talents and interests he has. There is no problem which doesn’t have a solution. Most of the problems teens have come from not looking at the total issue, and getting upset about the hassle rather than using all that energy to think of Possible ways to solve the problem. No problem is every bigger than an individual; no individual needs to cave into a supposedly big problem! Donald Bluethmann, Rich Board. Lisa Boatman. Debbie Bodnar, Jeff Bodnar. Mike Bohling.

One more time around should untangle the teacher ' s lecture for sophomore Jennifer Risden. Teens have enough pressures in their lives. What can they do to cut down on pressures from money problems? One of the first places teens can start is by deciding how important money is going to be in their lives. Of course, the need for it will always be there — it would be unreal to think otherwise! How important things are. however, and how important the prestige one gets from having a lot of money on him, or having expensive clothes, is quite another thing. So, the first place one can start to solve the money problem is just to decide it’s not the most important thing in the world. If a girl doesn’t want to date a guy because he can’t afford to take her to the nicer restaurants all the time, and doesn’t feel he can spend more than an ordinary amount of money for presents on her birthday, for example, the teen boy may realize he ' s just as well off dating another girl who likes him for himself, and who doesn’t need to be impressed. Other solutions include getting the family to pay some of the necessary teen expenses, or learning how to have fun without paying for entertainment all the time. There is still a lot to be said for spending time with friends and just relaxing with them, rather than going out to a place which always needs money. 100 Sophomores Donna Green, Rob Green, Evelyn Gregory, Marcey Grubish, John Guarnero, Mary Guiden, Mike Guistolisi, Joe Gunter, Debbie Haack Shannon Hadley, Steve Haeman, Dan Halajcsik, Jaynie Hammer, Erin Haney, Mary Beth Haney, Becky Hankla, Kassandra Hanshew, Scott Harbrecht Denise Harris, Kurt Hartman John Hartz, Nathan Hartz Laurie Hausman, Ed Hawkins Angela Haworth, Kevin Haynes Ken Hein, Karen Hemphill Chris Hernandez, Paul Hewlett Mike Hicks, Bob Hines Tracey Hines, Bob Hirchaic, Rob Hixon, Dennis Hjert- quist, Greg Hoffman, Jan Hoffman, Doug Hoick.

The lecturing teacher is heard, but his words are meaningless. I focus my eyes on the window. I see the barren branches of the trees swaying back and forth. A flock of birds fly by and swoop down, like aircraft fighters. They chirp; they converge; they hunt for food. The nourishment they are looking for, however, cannot be found. They take off into the grey sky in hopes of finding what they are looking for. A knock is heard, my attention is focused on the door. An office aide appears with information for the teacher. The door closes, but my attention remains on the 7- foot door of wood. My eyes are glued to the door. I feel frozen, I can’t seem to move. Schreech — someone moves his chair across the floor, I am startled, my mind is empty. I look up at the clock, there are only two minutes of class left. I missed the whole lecture. “Oh, well! I say to myself. “It probably wasn ' t worth listening to anyway. The bell rings, and the teacher makes a last-minute announcement. There will be a test tomorrow over what we have covered today. My daydreaming has taken me far, my moments of silence still linger on . . . just as my grade on tomorrow’s test will linger, probably for the rest of the six weeks!

Maybe not, for more many teens it is one of the most important things in their lives. Not only in social situations, but in many areas of concern, money is one of most teenagers’ primary problems. For example, teens who work are required to pay for some clothes, all entertainment, gas, insurance, in some instances, and they are also encouraged to keep a savings account. The non worker, on the other hand, has few requirements except to pay for a small amount of entertainment, and for girls, there is the problem of makeup. Guys are asked to pay for sports equipment and if they date, their expenses go up quite a bit. Most teens would never ask a girl to pay for any part of a date. Teens who want a car are expected to pay for gas, and this calls for a lot of money, especialy if the teen likes to cruise. Keeping a gas tank filled can often run a teen as much as forty dollars a month. With insurance and any work the car may need, the cost of maintaining a car can run near a hundred dollars a month. Cruising also adds to expenses. Sometime during the evening there will be a stop, probably, at a fast food place. A trip around town can add up to a pretty expensive outing, even when the teen is just doing nothing. This, by the way, is one of the reasons the government has raised the driving age — to conserve fuel used needlessly by teens with nothing better to do than drive around and around the same neighborhoods. Dating can cost from seven to forty or fifty dollars for an evening, and if a guy wants to impress a girl, the cost can even run higher. The total cost of “courting” a girl, or just having an evening of dinner and a movie, are almost getting out of reach for most teens ' wallets. Patli Perko, Theresa Petraitis, Tina Phillips.

Yes, money is a problem to the teen, but when a fellow and a girl are dating steadily, one of the biggest expenses can come in the area of gift giving. Presents are a grossly exaggerated thing for both boys and girls. When a girl goes out to but a birthday present for her steady boyfriend, she may spend anywhere from twenty-five to over a hundred dollars. Guys, on the other hand, don ' t spend as much money as girls do for their friends, but if they are dating steadily, they may feel obligated to spend over a hundred dollars for Christmas or birthday presents. On an average, most teens spend about 97 hours of work, just paying for gifts for their steady boyfriends or girlfriends? Is it worth it? Many teens feel no, but because of the pressure of others their age giving expensive presents, they feel obligated to go along with the system. When most teens realize, however, they are working for a month or longer, just to give someone an extravagent gift, they realize there are other things which could be done with that money, and most of them would probably go further and be of more benefit both to themselves and others. Image is image, caring about another person, even in a special way, shouldn’t always demand working for hours and hours just to impress with an expensive gift! 106 Sophomores See the Float?

Oh, perhaps the screaming guitar of Ted Nuggent, or maybe the incredible stage show of Rush, or possibly the straight forward Rock N Roll of AC DC. For the Highland High fans this ritual probably occurs more often than normal, for we are lucky enough to be close to the “Rock and Roll Capital of the World. Being located near Chicago, students have had the opportunity to see Bruce Springstein, Rush, Molly Hatchet. R.E.O, Speed Wagon, Van Halen, and several other internationally known bands. For those of us who have not been able to see many concerts, there have been several groups who have released new albums. R.E.O. Speed Wagon released “Hi Infidelity, Molly Hatchet released Beating the Odds, and Bruce Springstein gave us The River”, just to name a few. Like years in the past, this year in rock has had its misfortune. Just weeks after it was announced that Led Zepplin would make Chicago a stop of their world tour, it was reannounced that their tour would be cancelled due to the death of Zepplin drummer John Bonham. This was a catastrophy because many Highland students had sent in ticket money. As long as Americans livjs there will be rock and roll music; and through the years, as our society changes, the style will also change. Even though performers like Nuggent, Pink Floyd, Zepplin, and other great bands will not be around to play the loud rock and roll of today, there will always be someone. Neil Young probably said it best in his song “Rock and Roll will Never Die.” Unleashed in Chicago. Robert Halford, of Judas Priest, rides his Harley out on the stage.

It is one of the many pressure-filled weeks in the school year: The dreaded sixth week of the grading period. Deadlines, chapter tests, problems at work and home — they all fill the air and add up to a lot of pressure. The word pressure ' is exactly what it implies; but instead of air being filled into a balloon, problems of every sort are being pumped into you. Sometimes, there seems to be no end to them, and it feels like you are going to pop. When something like this happens, it is called depression. This usually leaves you in a mood in which you just feel sorry for yourself; this, however, gets you nowhere, except in a deeper state of depression It is also accompanied by a state of bewilderment, making you wonder, Why does this have to happen to me!?” What teenagers don ' t realize is that they are all in the same boat. The pressure of everyday life afflicts everyone, and in some cases lead to depression. Some excellent ways to relieve this bundle of nerves and frustration is simply to do something you like. Maybe you like to jog to relieve this tension; this is a very good way because it allows your thoughts to run freely. From there, you can sort out your thoughts sensibly. Also, listening to your favorite music provides a great chance to relax and take your mind off of life’s many problems for a while. There are many ways to take your mind off these problems, and relaxtion is the key. Learning to take the good with the bad is just one of the realities of life. Just remember, someday, somwehere luck will show its smiling face. Spirit! Ted Sowinski stands guard high atop the sophomore homecoming float. John Bodnar, Becky Boggs.

In this world, however, there are two types of friends. There are the real friends and there are the casual friends . Real friends are the people in life that accept a person for what they are. When a problem arises, they are there for the asking. When there comes a crisis, a worry, or even a fear, the real friends are the ones to confide in. They are there to help, to trust, and most importantly-to understand. In this vast world of black and white, which eventually blends to make a gray, real friends make this person feel like someone who sticks out in the crowd and is special. Real friends may soon find themselves referred to as “best friends”. This can project a feeling to these best friends” as being special also. On the contrast, there are friends” who are casual acquaintences. These are the people who just say “hello every once in a while, and are a last resort when the best friends” aren’t around. They just let everyone blend in and see them as mere grays. These people are faceless and are not really important in life. They can ' t be told problems, because it might “get around . Even though these friends” are not special they still count for something. Friends are an important part in life, but it is the real friends who make the differences count. It has been said that friendship is almost a sacrament one should take on his knees. Whether or not you accept this kind of thinking, accepting the feeling of true humility and gratefullness about your friends will probably make you a better friend too. ■ Christin Frederick, Kelly Friend, Lisa Fross, Harry Fuerhaupte, Paula Gadus, Judy Galinski, Anne Garret- son, Rob Gaskey, Tim Gen- bala Tammy Gibbs, Do ug Goins.

Places where one can see his her favorite group or artist live, and receive several action packed hours of great entertainment. The problem is that getting in to see a concert isn’t all that easy at times. Besides having to wait in long lines to buy tickets, concert-goers may have to fight through huge crowds just to get into the theatre. (Not to mention the high price of the tickets themselves.) Even with all of these obstacles, most people will agree that this is a small price to pay for an evening of great music. There is no greater thrill than when the theatre lights dim and the spots hit the stage. A sudden screech from the audience echoes thoughout the building as the group or artist jumps on the stage. For the next few hours, the audience becomes submerged in the music, while they clap and sing along with every song. As the concert comes to an end, a glorious array of glowing light shines as lighters flicker on. The performers acknowlege this display by playing an encore of one or two old favorites. When the concert is over, people leave feeling happy and satisfied that they got their money”s worth and more. Besides having a T-shirt or jersey, the memory of that great night will live with them forever. Jim Hoogeveen. Sam Hook, Karen Hop- pel.

Some high school students turn to alcohol and drugs to solve their difficulties. Trying to get rid of problems this way is just pure stupidity, but many young people still do it. A few things a teenager might try to relieve the blues could be a better alternative. Good friends are some of the most precious people in our lives. Talking about what is wrong with someone who really cares will always help. It strengthens the bond of friendship, and also gives a vent to the troublesome feeling one may have. There are also a lot of books which can help. A non fiction book which looks at teen problems might give some answers, or just reading some good fiction to take one’s mind away from real life might be the answer, at least for a while. Reading is not a permanent solution; no one ever gets over problems by escaping from them, but reading can often make things more calm until there is a chance and the strength to fight a Janette Magiera, Ron Maida, Chris Majerik, Mike Majerik, Jude Mal- one problem head on. Another idea might be to just sit in front of a mirror and have a long talk with yourself. Too many teens and adults really don’t know or understand themselves, and where they might really be going. Not all answers are easy to find by one’s self, so every now and then a friend will be good to share with. Possibly another way for a teen to find an answer is to go to a beach, climb the highest sand dune, and just sit a while, watching nature do all the magic it can. A good sunset or the peace of water, whether it’s Lake Michigan or even the tiny ripples of the Cady Ditch, can often bring back the peace one feels has been lost. Trying to solve a problem by alcohol and drugs is not the answer. The answer is to solve them in a way which helps you, and doesn’t hurt. Tammy Topor Moods.

It can also lead a teen to shoplift. One of the fastest growing crimes in America is shoplifting. The victimous stores point to the main culpret- teenagers. Over two million teens are caught shoplifting each year- and the numbers are growing. Businesses lose and estimated two billion dollars yearly to fugitive shoplifters. Need is not the main reason for shoplifting- L want is. Surprisingly, the average shoplifter I is not on welfare-and is not black. The average teen shoplifter is white and from a middle class town- like Highland. Sadly, teen shoplifters don’t realize what they are getting themselves into. A police record can destroy chances for a job or college. Until the shoplifter recognizes his problem, and tries to cure it, all the teens are going to suffer the consequences.

John, the boy who sits behind Jennifer in English class, is giving a party Friday night. He invited her to come and bring a date. Not going out with anyone at the time, Jennifer decided to go as a good opportunity to meet a guy. Friday night arrived and she spend an hour and a half deciding what to wear and getting ready. Giving herself one final look in the mirror, Jennifer was ready for the party. Walking into John ' s house, an uneasy feeling crept into her stomach. Would she be the first one there? Will any of her friends be there? Would she trip on the final stair? Well, she did not trip, but she was the only girl there. Her nervousness mounted as eight pairs of male eyes checked her out . What did they notice first? On what did they base their impression? How important are first impressions? According to the young men from John ' s pizzeria in Highland, Indiana, first impressions are very important. A go od impression gives them the desire to get to know a girl better. Of course every guy looks for something different in a girl, but there are several common characteristics that a guy notices. The face is the most outstanding feature. The most attention is centered on the eyes and mouth. The amount of makeup worn does not matter as long as it is well-blended and not overdone. The majority of those interviewed believe that make-up enhances the appearance of a girl. All guys like girls with nice hair. Length didn ' t seem to matter as long as it is clean, well-kept, and in a style becoming to the face. The second most important factor in catching a guy’s eye is a healthy figure. Model type thinness is not a must, but overweight girls tend to make guys look in another direction. Third on the list of physical appearance is how well a girl dresses. Wanting to look extra special, Jennifer wore her Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and a $45 designer made sweater for John ' s party. Although expensive designers clothes are not needed to impress a guy, flannel shirts and grubby patched Levi ' s were unanimously a turnoff. As important as physical appearance rated, a pleasant personality can become the difference between sitting at home Saturday night or going out on a date. Entering John ' s party, Susan captivated every male there with her good looks. Depending solely on her looks for attention, Susan never bothered to cultivate her conversational skills or social etiquette. Sure, Susan went out on a lot of dates, but she could never understand why they didn’t ask her out a second time. Although extremely attractive, her personality kept her from being an interesting person, and soon she was left alone. No one is perfect, so trying to satisfy all a guy ' s requirement s is ridiculous. Be yourself, be clean and as personable as possible, and you ' ll be on your way! There will always be people who just look at exteriors, who judge you by what you look like or their own ideas of how you should look, but that ' s their problem. Be the best you possible, and the people who are worth your time and are potentially good friends will be the ones who ' ll discover the real you! YES. AGAIN! The group ' s two other members. Alan White, top, and Chris Squire, work through a number at an early fall concert. Juniors 121 Teen talent rises One of today ' s teenagers ' favorite passtimes involves music. They will buy expensive top-rated hifi stereo systems. Then they will dish out more money for a good number of albums and tapes. They buy radios which play from morning to night, wait in lines for hours at a time in the rain, snow, and the dark of night in order to get tickets to their favorite rock group ' s concerts. For some teenagers, this isn’t enough. Those who are lucky enough to be talented not only buy their music, they put out some of their own. Learning how to play any sort of music, as any talented musician will tell you, takes a great amount of time and practice. There are a number of students involved with a band or or play a musical instrument. Some go with the classical piano or violin; others go with the country-western craze; and for still others, just plain old folk guitar will do the trick. Yet, for several others, nothing beats a round of good ole rock roll with a guitar and drums or whatever else you know how to play. To look at all that talent of some of today ' s teenage bands and musicians gives us a chance to realize that the music we hear in the future can only be better. Music offers a wide variety of opportunities for the future success. Musicians find music extremely satisfying. And, after all, today ' s unknowns will be tomorrow’s stars. Rock On!

This sounds rather familiar. Only it was 1978, and he wore a white suit and gold chains and he had the whole country doing the hustle. Now he has everyone ' Tidin’ the bull’ ' . These fashion crazes aren ' t all Johnnys fault though, fashion designers are partly to blame. They started to bring the country look back in late 1979, but it was somewhat slow in catching on. As it was with the disco look, Travolta helped speed up the process. As a matter of fact, he sped it up so much it hit us like a Mac truck. Now country is in, and disco is out. If one wears a disco outfit, one is considered garish and gauche. If one wears western boots, a cowboy hat, and a bucksin vest (all of which now quite often exceed the $100 price range) one is stylish ' ' . Now cowboys are sexy and the beautiful people frequent You, western bars” (most of them are usually remodeled discos — the owner took out the lights, the mirrored ball, put wood on the floor and added a mechanical bull). Will every one go along with the craze? will all of us turn Suburban Cowboy” — or cowgirl as the case may be. What will be the next hot fad ? What will be Johns next movie? If he plays a jungle boy will fig leaves be in? For answers to these and other important questions, go along with the craze, do what the masses do, see Johns next movie and blow your money on senseless western products like western aft ershave, etc . . . and if you really want to splurge, you can buy a horse — a mechanical horse (of course)!!

If this is the era or true individuality, how truly individual are most of today ' s teens? There are some people who look at the teen years and wonder if there has ever been a time when young people have been more free to do their thing”. Of course, in every generation there were groups which dictated fads, what was in and what was not; Fonzie certainly did have his real model back in the fifties. Today ' s teen generation, however, is forced to look at a lot more serious choices, and because of the pressure for succeeding in a more complicated and demanding world, there is also a problem of coping. True, there are the groupies of the various rock groups, there are still the teens who don ' t see much past the latest movie or the most written-about celebrity. There are also, however, more and more teens who have learned to be themselves, to not get into the drug scene or the drinking scene just because everyone else” does it and expects it. These are the teens who have gotten a big headstart on maturity and the ability to live their own lives. Are there individuals and real, live persons in the halls of Highland? You bet, and the world out there will be glad to get them when they take their place in society! Penny Bremer. Robert Broviak- Soccer 2 4. Ski Club 2-4 Dwayne Brown.

Is there any truth to any of these time worn cliches? According to many Highland young women, it is really a world who belong to anyone, man or woman, who dares to dream of making things better, who wants to make some contribution to others, or who has the desire and the determination to do more than fit into the rut, the routine of what many people accept as daily life . Are today’s young women concerned about ERA? Yes, but they are more concerned about being themselves, about learning skills and professions, and about making sure their futures will be as full and fulfilling as they can be. It is the people who want to do more be more, and accomplish more who own the world today. Now the being question is — are you one of them? Jamie Dachel • French Club 1-4, NHS 2-3, French NHS 2-4.

This year, however, spirit came alive at Highland in a new way — and it did have some foundation in the fact our teams did so well. The football team did an honorable job, and when the basketball team beat Andrean in the Holiday Tourney, basketball fever hit Highland as it never has before! The speech team has spirit, the J Room is a place with spirit of its own, and the dedicated people who work on the stage and behind the scenes have spirit. There is determination, spirit, and drive, however, also found in the hundreds of guys and girls who are inv olved in all sports from golf and hockey to gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, and all the track and running teams. Does Highland have spirit? You bet it does, and it comes in all forms of determination and life, no matter what the field, or no matter what the score! We Can Do It! Whether it ' s on the football field, in the swimming pool, or out on one of the practice fields or the gym floor. Highlanders know how to show spirit. Christopher Gallagher Football 14.

There is a group of people, however, who work behind the scenes, and without them nothing would ever get off the ground. Whether it’s Turnabout, Prom, Homecoming, or the scenery for a play or the production of one of the school publications, there are people who are around to get the praise, to hear the applause, or to take the credit. The unsung heroes and heroines of any organization are the backbone of it, and when Highland High starts thinking of it’s “all-stars ' ’, one group of people not to be overlooked is those young men and women who care enough to work, whether anyone else sees them or not. Highland High, just like any other worthwhile school, is only as good as the people who make it work, and luckily, there are a lot of good people around to make Highland work right. Susan Herman.

Hearing all of their friends talk about filling out college applications, getting accepted at a college, or even getting a job can really bring them down. How did all the other people decide what they were going to do, and the others couldn ' t? What really makes it worse, is the fact that the future came faster than most expected. School is such safe ground but going out and trying to either make a living or getting further education is very different. There are more alternatives besides college or getting a job. There is a combination of the two. The Armed Forces give you an education and pay you at the same time. Many students get married. All one needs is a plan for their future to get them on track. Looking Ahead. Jeff Lopeka and Kim Skoog, both members of the Class of 81, know what it ' s like to face the future, but both plan on succeeding.

Dave Demeter and Jeff Solimon work on their technique as Dave practices a side kick to the ribs. Perfect Form. Dave Demeter demonstrates the standing side kick, one of the many skills of Tae Kwon Do Karate. 136 Seniors Black Belts Jeff, Dave Although the Bruce Lee craze has seemed to simmer down quite a bit since his first movie, the art of self defense is still being avidly pursued by many. Two of those people just so happen to attend Highland High. Senior Dave Demeter holds a first degree black belt in MGL ' s Tae Kwon Do Karate studio here in Highland. Accompanying him in his efforts is sophomore Jeff Solomon who also holds a black belt degree. Without giving it a second thought, each day someone passes either of these two. Yet, no one ever really stops to realize that they are trained in the Martial Arts. They know the ins and outs of almost any move an attacker could make. They have mastered an incredible task and are currently seeking further education in karate. Completely involving themselves in the sport, Dave and Jeff certainly have qualified themselves for the admiration and respect of others. Tae Kwon Do. Jeff Solimon and Dave Demeter know what it ' s like to work for excellence. Jeff Lopeka- Football 1-4, Lettermen Club 3- 4. Wrestling 1.4, Ski Club 3-4. Tom Lubarski.

Highland goes country With the Urban Cowboy feeling in the air, country music and Western wear have become the first fads of the ' 80 s. Along with this new taste for western culture, country and western music are also on the rise. The Charlie Daniels Band seems to have found what the American teenager likes in western music. Barbara Mandrell, with her new show on NBC, along with Kenny Rogers, have captured many fans with their style of western music. Emmylou Harris and George Jones, two traditional country singers, are enjoying growing popularity. It seems everywhere one looks, western fashions can be seen. Cowboy hats are popular with all age groups, and are commonly seen now at football and basketball games. Highland students are also getting a kick out of boots, usually in the western style, and purchased from $55 to almost $400. The key to this western fad seems to stem from two sources — Dallas” and Urban Cowboy”. The Texan oil man of Dallas”, known as J.R. Ewing, sparked something in everyone. The program which aired the villain who shot him was the number one show for attracting an audience that was the largest ever recorded by the Neilson ratings. John Travolta ' s film, which debuted in the summer, led to a rash of western night clubs, many of which replaced the fading disco clubs around the country. Highland Look. Alexis Plautz, Jill Stephens, and Nancy Bremer show the Highland spirit as well as the Highland country, down-home look. Charlene Meyer — Aud.

They think about jobs, dates, and even some of there classes. All of that, and then it hits them. They are eighteen. On January 1, 1981 they have to register at their local post office for the draft. The thought of going to war and being old enough to fight is a frightening thought. The words “registering for the draft are so simple, but the meaning that lies behind them is almost hidden. Some boys will not want to sign up. They may even join the protestors that line up outside. This can cause a conflict with their parents. The need to be patriotic can make their parents force their sons to sign up. They may even feel pressure from their friends. Sayings like What ' s wrong? Are you afraid?” and You don ' t have to fight, you are just I signing up, seem to ring in the minds of those who are torn between what is right for them or what is right for those around them. Registering is a big step in a young man ' s life. It is something that really needs to be thought out carefully and discussed with others. AAU Runners. Laura Fisher, Dee Doran, Leigh Langner.

But sometimes the things we watch on television or on the screen at the theatre can really influence our lifestyle. There are many fads that have been evolved through television and movies. In the late 70’s, the disco and space age hit us thanks to Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever. Just this year, the country scene has entered the picture via Dallas and the Urban Cowboy. It seems as though every time a new hit movie comes out, a new fad comes with it. Then there are those people who control their lifestyle according to the T.V. Guide. If there favorite program is on, there is no way that they are going out. Once again, Dallas seems to head this list. The show became so compelling that never were there so many Americans staying home on a Friday night. Soap Operas also seem to be important in some people ' s way of life. Some housewives even rotate their housework schedules around their favorite soap operas. When that certain one comes on, there is no way that they will want to be vacumming or ironing. They want to find out if Laura has made up with Luke yet. Television can be very entertaining, but if one really thinks about how it can control their life, then somehow it seems to lose some of it ' s entertainment. Theatre movies and T.V., when one thinks about it, can control our lives. 142 Seniors Ted Skimina — Key Club 1, Basketball 1, Track 1-2, Science 1, Kim Skoog — French 3-4, Bowling Club 3-4, Ski Club 4, French NHS 4, Band 1-3, powderpuff 4, Lisa Skopelia — Ski Club 4, Powderpuff 3-4, NAHS 3-4 Caroline Smiddy — Swimmerettes 3-4, Band 1-4, Jazz Band 2-4, Scott Sobek — German Club 1-3, Lorraine Solberg — Booster Club 1, Swimming 2, French Club 3-4, Band 3-4, Orchestra 4.

Jeff Bailey and Dan Vassar, editor and sports editor of the Trojanal, were wondering if it was really true or not. Well, it was true, and it turned out to be quite an experience for them. This lucky experience was an interview with Ray Meyer, the legendary basketball coach of the De Paul Blue Demons. The meeting was arranged by sports editor Dan Vassar, and both he and Jeff Bailey interviewed coach Meyer. The two thought of the idea because they wanted something fresh and new. And, by getting an interview with a well known coach whom most everybody knows, the paper proved to be a success. At least, we didn ' t see as many torn up newspapers on the ground that day, I ' m happy to report, ' ' said Vassar In that interview, what did the Trojanal editors think of Ray Meyer as a person. Well, they learned some interesting facts about him. Even though, he coaches the number one ranked college basketball team in the country, and has broken virtually every college coaching record that exists, he still, as he puts it, is a normal person. In fact, they both agreed that he was really open hearted, honest, and a real man with a lot of class. So, what ' s next for these editors of the Trojanal as they move on out from Highland, and step out into the world? Well, if they do plan pursuing a journalism career, they already have a promising start. Seniors 145 Keeping Things in Order.

They have feelings, hopes, dreams, likes, dislikes, just like everyone else. Why do so few students seem to realize this? It ' s simple! The teachers are the ones “calling the shots”! The fact is once you get past the authority role a teacher often plays learning can begin on both sides, not just book learning but really learning about life. What does it take to break down this barrier? First of all, have patience. Over half the assignments a teacher makes is a requirement by the higher-ups. They don ' t like grading them any more than a student likes doing them. That ' s the way it goes. Teachers’ jobs are not the easiest in the world. To put it mildly no one wants to be the authority figure telling you this or that. But it has to be done. Besides teaching, however, there is a relationship that can develop between teacher and student. It is a relationship that is unlike any other. Learning with a teacher can be one of the best experiences in the world, if it happens. Once a teacher lets his her guard down, it can begin. It ' s the student ' s responsibility to put a teacher at ease. Let the teacher know that you ' re not trying to criticize everything he she does. That will help. Getting to know a teacher is about as difficult as getting to know a student really well. One has to be very patient and interested. If you want to know someone, conversation, other than, How do you do this problem?”, is a very good start. How was your weekend? is always a good one. The only other qualification is that it must be sincere. You must really want to know the teacher better. There are no real rules to getting to know a teacher. It is just like making any new friend. After all, teachers are people too. Treat them like people, and they ' ll treat you that way in return. Try it! It ' ll be successful. Proud of Them! Mr. Matt Figi sponsor of last year ' s graduating class. Now, Wait! Always one to keep student discussions going lively. Mr. Mike Sunny gives special life to his classes. 148 Faculty Elizabeth Durling — Reading. Jeanette Erhart — Library. B.S., I.U., Librarian, Soph, sponsor. Marjanna Erwin — Home Economics. B.S..

Why do we need teachers? According to many computer experts teachers could be replaced with a television set or a recording device which would teach the students through the use of a giant computer bank. All subjects could be taught by one single computer and each student would only have to learn what he wanted to learn. However, one great asset the computer could never give the student is the personal touch of the real live teacher . . Unlike a computer teachers often care about their students and are willing to help and not just dictate questions and wait on the response. The teacher also offers his own opinion into the teaching. True, this could be trouble if the teachers becomes too opinionated, but nevertheless a teacher ' s mind is (as hard as it may be to believe) a lot easier to change than that of a computer. One of the best ways to learn, especially in high school where one must also learn to cope, is with personal interaction with another just- as-human-being. To sacrifice this interaction, which can go far beyond the teacher-student relationship, for a slightly more efficient and slightly colder conglomeration of metal and wire would be a great mistake. If teachers realize their usefulness and take advantage of their livelyness, they can enhance their effectiveness as well as their future employment. Students also will be more at ease with a person who understands being human than with a machine which in actuality understands nothing. We need Real Teachers.

Students Study Teachers Teachers very from department to department, some more likeable than others. Some teachers know how to make class interesting and enjoyable. What makes some teachers better than others? The outlook a teacher has about teaching could determine what kind of class he or she will have. Some teachers add variety to their class by not just teaching and lecturing, they break this up by a little humor now and then, or maybe by just letting the class slack off for a day. Teachers like this earn the respect of the students, whereas teachers who work the class day after day have students who can- not wait to leave the class. Students find that the teachers they get along with are the teachers that really understand the student and what the student is capable of doing. Some teachers who just keep pushing the student to do work and more work every day are the teachers the students don ' t like as much. Most teachers are easy to get along with because most teachers do understand what the student is capable of and what he is not. ome teachers like Mrs. Mason, Mr. Summers, and Mr. Schlesinger are some of the teachers that instruct a very interesting class. They keep the students interested in what is going on. Probably one of the most important factors students rate teachers by is their knowledge of the material they’re teaching and how capable they are of getting that information across to others. The teacher who just uses a textbook and cannot bring his own personal experience to a topic will often lose respect in many students’ eyes. If, on the other hand, the teacher is knowledgeable about a subject he or she can give examples and anecdotes about little known facts of a part of history, or about a certain famous writer, the class become interesting and usually holds the students’ attention. There are a lot of people who know what they learned in college; there are also a lot of people who know what they ' ve learned, but who are also excited enough about it to want to share what they know with others. The science teacher who gets excited about the success of an experiment or the shop teacher who shares the enthusiasm of making something work does help all students learn more not only about skills, but more about the joy of learning and achieving. 152 Faculty ?

Faculty 153 The Challenge Of High School Sports A Sporting Chance The true challenge of a high school sport is not only to better your physical ability, but to also expand your mental capabilities. Self satisfaction is the key to success. Until you are pleased with your own accomplish- ments, there is no way you can even hope to pro- gress. Participate in the sport because you ' want to, not because you feel pressured into it. Your mental capabilities improve as the con- cept of competition arises. Dealing with com- petition sometimes leads to major frustrations in high school. If students could just learn to first have fun, and then worry about who ' s in first, sports would be even more beneficial. Since the business world is structured much like the playing field in sports, a background of clean competition makes for a successful ca- reer. To work as a team toward a single goal, to know the feeling of achievement through the coordination of talents, is the best kind of ex- perience possible. High school sports also aid the development of physical skills and encourage the continuation of physical fitness. This is the point at which you learn your own limits and how to deal with and improve upon those limits. And, in most in- stances, once an athlete realizes the importance of a good physical condition, even though his competitive days are past, he continues some form of exercise. High school sports are in no way a waste of time or effort. An athlete gets back exactly what he puts into the activity, and experience like that is indespensible. Sectionals Second When it ' s Sectional time there is no turning back; players and their coaches must give 110 all the time because Sectionals is the beginning of a whole new season, a season that might only last one day. The Volleyball team not only captured a Sectional title, but they also went on to Regionals where they lost a heartbreaking decision, and were knocked shockingly out of the competition. Although they were eliminated, the team was filled with many bright spots. Coach Debbie Stockham was named Conference Coach of the Year, while three members of the unit were named to the All-Conference first team Those girls were Juniors, Robin Ralich and Lynn CJmbach and Sophomore, Patti Williams. That is the most interesting trait about the girls ' s because the team will not lose much depth due to the fact that most of the squad is comprised of underclassman Next, we have the baseball team, who had one of the most successful seasons in Highland Baseball history. The boys won the conference with a nearly unblemished record of 11 1, and also brought another Sectional trophy home to our conjested trophy case. Losing their starting five after last year ' s Sectional Championship, the Girl ' s basketball team went on to a big rebuilding year that should really benefit girl ' s basketball in the long run. Their quest for a second sectional title was cut short by conference foe, Munster. This year ' s boy ' s basketball team will once again begin their quest for a first ever. Sectional title. The boys look to have their best chance ever because of the strong teamwork and the balance of the talent laden squad. The cards say that Highland will finally have their boys ' Sectional title, if not the near future holds no help. All in all, the tremendous victories and the agonizing defeats gave the Trojan athletes and the Trojan fans some added determination and also some strong school spirit. Watch your step!

First Trojan f Pirates Walk Plank Northern Indiana is noted for its fine basketball teams, but no sectional proved it better than the hard-fought Calumet Sectional. It was a field of well-balanced, equally determined teams from Lake Station, Griffith, Munster, Lake Central, Crown Point, Calumet, Merrillville, and of course Highland. The whole sectional proved to be a giant success with one thrill after another. Even with slightly over-crowded conditions, the crowd really got its money s worth with this one. Each night provided at least one rip-roaring contest. Too close for comfort-that’s how the Highland Trojans Varsity basketball team found their worthy opponents- the Griffith Panthers. The Trojans narrowly escaped the Panthers by a score of 51-45. The Panthers, who gave it their best shot, palyed one of thier greatest, if not their best game of the season. The game remained close throughout the entire contest. Griffith pulled out to an early lead, but Highland recovered by half-time to pull within one. Then the Trojans took over the second half. The stubborn Panthers never gave up though; they fought to the end. The next game did not provide as much excitement as the first one, but had just as much impact on the high-flying Trojans. Victory ran through the veins of all the Highlanders, beating their foes of Lake Station by a score of 65-56. High scorer was Lowell Steen with 22 points. The Eagles never gave up, but the domineering Trojans were too much for them. The championship game against the Merrillville Pirates proved to be the most exciting game as Highland captured its first Sectional title in 22 years. The lead changed hands many times, but in the end the Trojans prevailed. Nick Klemp was high scorer but the whole team put forth the effort to bring in a victory. The final score was 48-45. Trojan first . . . First Trojan first Trojan fin First Trojan first . . . First Trojan first Sweet Sectional! Blue and Gold clad fans, cheerleaders, and painted Trojan T’s filled the Calumet Fieldhouse, awaiting the much anticipated sectional championship game between Highland and Merrillville. With the announcement of the Trojans, a tremendous roar filled the gymnasium. An incomparable feeling of pride eminated from the crowd as students screamed and once silent parents became animated in the form of supportive cheers and applause. In the opening seconds, Merrillville gained the tip-off and tallied the first points of the game. Even this, however, could not shake the confidence abundant in the Highland fans. Fighting spirit and determination drove the Trojans within 3, after a deficit of 10 points. It was not until two minutes of the second quarter remained that Highland finally gained the lead. As the half-time buzzer sounded, the jubulance of the crowd exploded into an uncontrolable frenzy. The sining of “We Love our Trojans was never so heart felt as the Trojans made their entrance for second half action. As the lead vollied from team to team, the third quarter proved even more exciting and emotion filled. The Pirates were given an opportunity to tie the game with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter by converting on a 1 and 1. The tension could be detected in the Trojan ball players as they turned toward their fans, pleading for enough noise to upset the concentration of the Pirate on the free throw line. Their prayers were answered as the ball deflected off the rim. After a final Highland free throw, the game was decidedly a Trojan victory. Highland had won its first ever Sectional crown, and it could clearly be evidenced in the faces of the fans as they stormed down the bleachers to congratulate their team. Screams of “We’re number one“and tears were shared by all as the nets were ceremoniously cut to declare a Trojan championship. . . First Trajan first . . . First Trojan first . . .

Coach Mazur said that the comraderie among the girls was one of the plusses of the year and contributed to their play. Leading the team were five seniors whose support and experience were major factors in the performance of the team. Brenda Huffman proved virtually unbeatable at No. 2 Singles with an overall record of 11-2 while Liz Kulcsar played effectively at No. 3 and No. 5 Singles. Adding their talents at No. 1 Doubles were Kathy Jones and Roseanne Pokorski with consistent play throughout the season. Alternating play of Singles and Doubles, Cindy Fort peaked in the final matches of her season. The team boasts of strong, dedicated girls who promise to be tough competitors next year with the return of five sophomores and two juniors. 0 ■ ' V HITTING WITH HER BEST SHOT; Kathy McGee follows through with her promising forehand.

Led by a strong pitching staff head- ed by seniors Dennis Rodda, Rick Kuna, and Junior Nick Klemp, the Trojans compiled an outstanding 22-5 mark, which included a Sectional Champion- ship and a trip to the finals in Reg- ionals. The Trojan offensive attack was led by junior Mike Thon, who hit at a sizzling .349 clip, and Seniors Mark Bevis, Nick Bizoukas and Dennis Rodda. Other players that hit .300 or better are Senior Rick Kuna, and Juniors, Frank Horvath, Tim Reyes, Kevin Spudic, and Dan Vassar. All in all, the Trojans stickman hit at a solid .284 pace. After the Trojans coasted to a con- ference championship, they advanced to Sectionals where they ousted ECR for the title. At Regionals the Trojan season ended on a sad note when they were knocked out of post-season play by Conference rival Crown Point. TROJAN POWER Junior Kevin Spudic eyes the play, as he scores another Trojan run against Crown Point. 165 Tennis Swinging to success Swinging to success, the Boy ' s Tennis Team shot down the odds and took themselves all the way to the Indiana Semi-State. Led by 1 singles player Kevin Spudic and 2 singles player Bryan Niksch, the Trojans took it to their opponents and had a very successful season. Spudic and Niksch who compiled 16-4 and 17-3 records respectively were also joined in singles competition by Senior Greg Clark. Moved from doubles to 3 singles at midseason, Clark responded with an impressive 12-2 mark. In post season play all three went on to Sectional and Regional Titles. Another impressive part of the netmen’s attack was their success at 1 doubles. Seniors Mark Miserly and Nick Klemp combined to make tremendous progress during the season. They both jelled at the right time as they went on to Sectional and Regional Titles. Senior Jem Steen and Sophomore John Hartz also had very successful seasons with each complimenting the other.

The 1980 Highland Varsity Football team improved their overall record to a solid 6-4. The Trojan grid season had it’s ups and downs. Their campaign began tremendously with an overwhelming 35-6 victory over Hammond Morton. After that the Trojan attack never really seemed to capture the same brilliance shown in the first game. One of the bright spots for Highland was the naming of five players to the all- conference squad. On the offensive side of the coin Senior Fullback Mike Thon was honored a long with Tight End Nick Crnkovich and Guard Dave Olio. Thon led the team in rushing and in scoring ring with 374 yards in 88 attempts, and 5 touch downs score. Crnkovich led the pass receiving game with 22 receptions for a total of 254 net yards, Olio paced the team all year with his blocking and clutch playing ability. Pride On The Line.

Hill. 170 J.V., Frosh Football Coach Shelbourne has a lot to look forward to in the future talent of Highland football players. The reason is the impressive showing of the Junior Varsity and Freshman Football teams during the 1980 fall season. Sporting a solid 5-2-1 record, the J.V. Footballers really showed what they were made of this season with some solid team play. Coached by Dan Miller and Doug Stanford, the gridders were led by Quarterback Nick Perko and running backs Terry Allen and Mark Fentress. Receivers Jeff Clinkenbeard and Scott Topor. On the Freshman side, determination is the key word. After a disappointing 0-7 start the Frosh gridders fought back with a long-awaited first victory against Lowell. The Freshman footballers were led by standout halfback Tony Toweson who carried the ball consistently on the offensive attack. The defense was led by hardhitting Mike Fitzpatrick and Scott Kessler and Joe Helmer. All in all, the ' 81 season looks good for every Highland grid team. Holding on tight.

Having amassed a 60 conference record, and taking conference honors as champion, the Trojans went into sectionals and defeated Griffith, Andrean, Munster and Crown Point and walked away with the Sectional crown. Next step was to get through the Regional competition. But not so was their fate as after defeating Merrillville, and Michigan city Rogers, the Trojans were stopped by a strong Morton Governor team, which the Trojan group had defeated earlier in the season. Receiving the honor of Conference coach of the year was our own Trojan leader, Coach Debbie Stockham. Highland also showed three all conference first teamers in Linda Lucas, Robin Ralich, and Lynn (Jmbach. Also Highland managed two second team seats as junior Kelly Cada and sophomore Patti Williams were named. The varsity outlook for Highland volleyball is ever growing brighter as next years team will sport many returning veterans. 172 Volleyball SPIKE CITY.

The girls swim team season ended with an excellent record this year of 7-5. The girls where also ranked 2nd in state for individual power points, which is the best they have ever done in their history. The Tankwomen have gone from The Pool Less Wonders to one of the best girls’ swim teams in the region. Many victories have been set ever since the pool has been remodeled. For example, Diane Ross broke the freshmen record in 500 free; Cathy Cyganowski broke her own school record in 100 breast; Donna Bauer broke her own school diving record twice this season. Also, the Medley Relay did their best ever. Individual victories were won by: Tammy Volkman in 50 free 100 fly; Carolynn Horwath in 100 back; and Liz Kaznak in 100 free. Other team members have achieved their own personal goals, too. This is the 2nd straight year that the Tankwomen have moved up point wise in sectional and in state. They had a lot more girls qualifing for sectional finals and state. The girls’ team hopes to have a successful season next year as they did this year with returning Tamk Women and new members. This Is It! Sophomore Julie Evans makes the most of her routine by displaying needed amplitude Gymnastics Team effort pays off Gymnastics — it ' s more than just a sport, it’s a very demanding challenge that requres self discipline and an incredible drive for perfection. It is in this sport where true competitors thrive. Being number one is always fun, but being your absolute best is much more important. Learning to work within the limits defined by personal goal teaches each gymnast the most basic concept of discipline. Gymnastics teaches self-discipline with its rigorous practice schedule that leaves little or no time for homework or other outside activities. It is a sport that insists on slim figures and a healthy diet. And last but not LEAST, it is a sport which shows each competitor how to enjoy and progress through competition. A team effort is stressed quite heavily. Every girl is taught to realize the significance of her teammates as well as her own contributions to the team. It is a TEAM that wins and a TEAM that progresses. During the longest athletic season at Highland, coaches Debbie Howe and David Galloway are always giving personal attention to each gymnast. It is through their dilligent instruction that the young team learns to perform in top-notch style. While the Intermediate level of competition is based on compulsory routines, the Optional level is filled with different routines, combining the different skills of each girl. It is through practice after practice that the girls learn to perfect their skill level. Each gymnast gets out exactly what each puts into the sport. Blessed with good coaches and an incredible amount of talent and potential, this year ' s team captured the conference title. Hmm, I wonder Coach Debbie Howe contemplates the outcome of a very close gymnastics meet Think Tight! Junior Brigette Nordyke tries her hardest to keep her form while performing a kip on the bars. 176 Gymnastics Look At That!

Assistant Coach Dave Galloway, with the two captains Melanie Engerski and Becky Hankla, smiles with pride as he reflects on the evening ' s victory. r Girl fietters aim hi Highland girl ' s varsity basketball program is on a youth kick these days. This being a rebuilding year because all five starters from the Sectional championship team have graduated. The year turned into not so bad an experience after all. Although the team didn ' t dazzle any of their opponents, they still had their moments. This year ' s starting five consisted of only one Senior, Julie Karolzak. Julie paced the team in scoring and also in the most important category, leadership. She was also voted female Athlete of the Month two straight months, for her cage efforts. The rest of the lineup gives Highland something to cheer about for the next few years. The reason behind this is, that the other four starters were sophomores. Handling the guard position with a lot of poise was the tandem of Patti Williams and Kelly Kerber. Williams was one of the team ' s top scorers and rebounders. And Kerber, playing the point showed some good ball handling. The other forward and the center spot was handled by Lynn Jackson and Jayne Filler, who both showed that they will be around for along time to come. The rest of the bench is almost all returning so next year ' s team should really produce. The Junior Varsity although they didn’t impress to many people with their play. They did show show signs of life. The team was led by Sophomores Lisa Boatman and Patti Perko.

During a swim meet, swimmers make a smooth dive in order to get ahead start. 180 Swimming Swimmers rise in state rank Think Highland — think swimming! That simple phrase says it all for the Highland Trojan boys’ swim team. Under the leadership of captains Dan Mehrbrodt and Pete Rodriguez, the swimmers racked up another impressive season. They are coached by Mike Boskovich and Brian Toweson. Returning letter winners who sparked the team this season were Jim Spence, Dan Mehrbrodt, Chris Clifford, Eric Krygier, John Hammond, Jerry Scott, Bob Zurek, Pete Rodriguez, and Dave Horwath. Starting with practices early in November, the team moved through the season with higher and higher state ranking. Though Munster, top ranked in the state, won the meet which Highland hosted, the Trojan swimmers made strong showings in all events. Looking forward to another strong season next year, the Trojan swimmers will count on the efforts of Jerry Scott, Kirk Mustard, Steve Fiegle, John Hammond, Dave Horwath, and Eric Krygier. Highland scored well in conference competition, and managed to send some swimmers on to regional competition after a strong sectional. Even though many swim meets are held away from Highland, one good thing did happen this year, when Highland held a meet during school hours. Though many students still didn’t realize the tremendous efforts of the team, the Highland swimmers did win some new fans. As always, many other students in school never realize the talent and dedication of Highland’s man y athletes. The Munster meet did a little bit to help them learn. 1980 Swim Team- Bottom Row: B Kleinschmidt, D. Steele, J. Gargas. T. Textor, M Fazekas. S. Fiegle, First Row: P Gard. M. Golec. M. Conces, J.

That ' s the statement that best describes the 1980-81 Highland Varsity Basketball campaign. Expected by forecasters to be one of the area powers, the Trojan ' s did just that. So who was the big star? Well, you saw all twelve of the stars all year long, because each and every member of the cage unit contributed to the team cause in one way or another. The season was filled with many highpoints. Four of those highpoints came against state top twenty material. The first victim that fell was a two-man Valporaiso team. Next, came the big turning point in the Trojan ' s season with their truimphant 61-60 victory over super power Andrean, this victory also gave the cagers the Holiday Tournament crown. And finally, the Trojan ' s reached into their talented bag of tricks and came up with another victory against previously unbeaten Kankakee Valley. This game will stick in the back of trojan fans minds for a long time to come, because of that climatic final shot by Senior Nick Klemp that provided the Trojan ' s with a 53-51 victory.

A Pin For A Win Experience — that ' s one of the big words which describe this year ' s varsity wrestling team The unit had eight returning lettermen out of the possible thirteen slots, and this has given second year coach Forrest Gray a lot to smile about. The biggest hope for this year ' s team rested on the shoulders of last year ' s sensation, Ben Puntillo. Benny finished fourth in the state during ' 79 ' 80, and returned to bring his experience and skill to this year ' s squad. Another key member of the wrestling team was sophomore sensation Kevin O ' Malley. Working in the 112 lb. weight class, Kevin surprised many of his opponents with his quick moves and ability to out-psyche his rivel Hopefuls for state competition included Jim Walker in the 177 lb class, Dave O ' Malley in the 138 class, and Ben Puntillo. as well as the younger O ' Malley brother, Kevin. Highland has usually had a strong wrestling team, and with the current crop of experienced and skillful wrestlers, this year has proved no exception. Dan Halajcksk, another sophomore, had a good season. Wrestling in the 105 class, he promises a strong future for the Highland Wrestling hopes. Wrestling poses its own special discipline, and Highland ' s wrestlers know what it’s like to keep down their weight to stay in their respective class. A meet on Saturday means no Friday night munchies, and with Coach Grey keeping his team members in line, wrestlers stay in shape With experience and skill on their side.

Without the services of Senior Michelle Companik and Junior Patty Schlink, the team had to turn its top reins over to Juniors Dee Doran and Laura Fisher. Along with these girls, many other underclassmen worked together to form what Coach Steve Furman refers to as “The Long Blue Line . Outstanding performances were turned in by Juniors Diane Benner, Cheryl Dupin, LeeAnn Fiegle, Megan Smolen, and Freshmen sensation, Kellie Dunn. These were what kept the Line going and together without its number 1 and 2 runners. Like the rivalry between Highland and Munster football teams, there is a growing rivalry between foes Bishop Noll, Crown Point, and our own Highland girls team. As these girls mature into better runners we can look for Highland Girls ' Cross Country team to be a future state power. TEAM WORK.

The team was smaller than the previous year; however, several good runners were develped as the result of this. The female racers were ably and enthusiastically coached by Ruth Brozek who was assisted by John Valiska and Al Neve. Their time and effort were rewared by a 8-3 season record. The team could also be proud of capturing second place in the Lake Suburan Conference. As if that were not enough for the hours of practice, hard work, and dedication, the track team was also the Calumet Relays Champions. It was well earned and deserved.
