Highland High School - Shield Yearbook (Highland, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1985 volume:

It’s never easy to move on to anything new — there ' s such comfort in the old and secure, yet life doesn’t seem to let us rest too long. Each birthday, each pro- motion to the next grade — and on and on through ail the grades of life, call for our abili- ty to do one thing very well — to BREAK AWAY from many things. As our position in our fam- ilies changes with more re- sponsibility and greater trust, we are forced to BREAK AWAY from outmoded ideas of authority and values. As some of our friends move away from us because our in- terests are no longer the same, there is a real need to BREAK AWAY from what we have been and get genuinely excited about what our possi- bilities hold. We yearn to BREAK AWAY from school and its work, yet the more important breaking away will always involve our own ability to put the past be- hind us and move on. What has been is over. What will be is waiting — if we can find the courage to BREAK AWAY from what we have been, and learn to con- centrate on BECOMING! Shield -’85 Highland High School Highland, Indiana Volume 26 Break Away from so many things the past has brought; Break Away from the early things that made us grow and reach for newer heights. Break Away so newer learning can come. And Break Away to all those new people and experiences which are waiting in a future full pe. Break Away from the old you, the old times and the old goals we used to settle for, and Break Into the newer persons we all can become! Break Away, for tomorrow can be a much better day! ■IM I i Break Away 2 Break Break From the past to an exciting future Potesta Sweeney BREAK WITH THE MOOD Angie Rauer and Debbie Hoppel join other band members in celebrating another High- land victory.

Break Break Away 3 Moving ahead is never easy, since it is always easier to stay in the comfort zones of our lives. What we know and what we are used to sometimes lures us into settling for things, however, and then we may become afraid to Break Away. Yet we know there are good people ahead in our lives, just waiting for our paths to cross. There are new experiences and challenges which will take us to new levels of success and greater development as individuals. The task is ours, as the rewards will also be. Let’s move with the courage to Break Away! Moving Break Away 4 Moving Ahead to greater personal growth FROM GAME TO DANCE . . .

THINKING TIME Time out from a class project gives Karen Krahn a chance to think ahead. WHAT’S OUT THERE? Senior year makes Aimee Tratebas wonder what the future will bring. Potesta Mayer For a future grown from the past Potesta Thinking positive isn’t always easy, yet as the future opens more and more things to us, looking for the bright side of new experiences is the only way to go. Part of Breaking Away from any past is feeling good about life’s possibilities. What was so important about Freshman Year falls away in the memory of most seniors, and as friends, values, and goals change, we can always look back and see most changes happened for the best. There will always be people who are afraid of the future, who would rather hold on tightly to everything just as it has always been in their lives. They may be afraid to make a Break Away move or opt for change because of the insecurity that may bring. Yet the only people who learn to live life well are those who know things will change with or without them, and that the individual courage to break away makes all those changes and new things much better. From moving on to new friends who have more in common with us to setting up some ambitious career goals, the whole idea of Breaking Away involves being optimistic about what can be, and always finding the best in what has been. SHARE THE GOOD TIMES Vince Bedoy knows the good times are al- ways better when shared with a friend. MOODSCAPES . . . The splendor of cities and sunsets bring out many differ- ent moods for Sophie Amanatidis, Carol Mills. Mike McGee. Michele Meadows, Dana Miloshoff and Todd Miller. Moods . . . Whether its spending a day out in the country, or taking an excursion up to the city on Saturday night, you can relax and find the real you in what ever you do. Let your moods run away and explore that deepest river or that highest point. Reach deep inside yourself and find the way you really feel; then do not be afraid to show those true feelings to the rest of the world around you. Your moods could be happy or sad, but there is much more to it than just that. There are different degrees of quiet and loud, content or disappointment, love and hate. Yet whatever mood you have at the moment, you should not be afraid to reach deep inside yourself and let the feeling show. ▼ Karen Nagy City, nature bring out ways to reach and Break Away Moods Break Away 9 Mayer LOOK AHEAD Karen Nagy knows an optimistic attitude takes anyone a long way, and Dave Vail knows breaking away from a long day at school doesn’t always involve a com- plete break with the books.

ANOTHER FIRST DOWN Joel Montalvo and Rick Tuttle help the Trojans through another season. Break Away Look Look . . . Mills Toward a better you in a better world as you break away from the past Highland High has done many things for its students, but with so many alumni still in the area, it is easy to find out how many ways going to school in Highland really helps. If part of breaking away from the past involves changing perspective and not being afraid to take chances, then the degree of suc- cess of students who have gone on into the work force and into good families of their own gives current students a lot of optimism. The skills one learns from being involved with extra-curricular ac- tivities such as clubs, sports, plays, or publications often makes a dif- ference in being more adept at han- dling extra pressures and demands on the job. Knowing how to deal with all kinds of people is also learned in high school, and though we often break away from our friends when they develop interests different from our own, the very moving on of each in his or her own way is a valuable kind of learning. If any part of our lives demands taking a good look at what possibili- ties lie ahead, high school remains a time when the looking should be extra optimistic, and also very open to a variety of experiences and new people who can make the years ahead even better. High school is an end of many things, but it can also be a fantastic begin- ning! Look Break Away 11 CRUSHING CALUMET Kip Kelly sets the Trojan offense into action against the Calumet Warriors in a winning early season effort. ANOTHER FIRST DOWN Celebrating another Highland gain, varsity cheerleader Joanie Kovach leads the High- land spirit section. If asked what short-term event they looked forward to the most, almost all teenagers would agree that Friday night was the main event of the week. We start to pre- pare for Friday night on Monday morning, and the enthusiasm goes on all throughout the week until the very moment in which you are supposed to go out arrives. Friday night is a time to be with friends, watch the game, go to the dance, go out to eat, and just live it up in whatever ways possible. It is amaz- ing how fur. and exciting Friday night can be, even though you are with the same people in the same place, doing the same things. Just being with friends and joking around seems to make the whole evening fall into place. The fact that Friday is the last day of school for the week gives everyone a great feeling inside. It is a feeling that school is left behind for the time being, and that every- thing is going to be fine now that the week is over. That night is used sort of as a celebration or party for making it through the week with- out any major upsets. It has be- come a thing which all teenagers deserve to have for overcomming the obstacles of the week. But whether it is looked at it that way or another, every teenager feels that it is a night to have fun, and they want to have all the fun they are capable of having. During the week, everyone has to hide their true selves away for a long enough period to get some work done, but on Friday night, it seems that those real people who were dying to get out finally burst out of their shells. This creates a very relaxed atmosphere and makes it easier to have fun. Now they can cheer, dance, and get row- die enough to leave all of the trou- bles of school behind for the night, and to have fun for a change. Everyone loves to have fun on Friday night, and it is important that we do. It is a time to be your- self, act the way you want to act, and to break away from the week ' s troubles. ▼ Lynette Repking Potesta Potesta Friday . . .

Friends - the gift we give ourselves They say if you have just one in your lifetime, you’re a lucky person. Good friends are something that don ' t come along everyday. They’re a beautiful gift we give ourselves. They’re something that cannot be bought. When things don’t go your way and you have nowhere to turn, our friends are usually the place we go. They ' re there with open arms and listening ears ready to comfort us. Good friends play an important role in our life. They know most everything about you, yet they still care for you. They help you when you need help, they are there when you need them; they soon become a necessity. It seems everyone enjoys having his friends around through most events that take place. One thing imparticular that doesn’t seem complete without friends is a celebration. A celebration becomes so special when friends are near. Birthdays are a type of celebration in which it becomes worthwhile to have such treasured peo- ple close by. They help make each birth- day complete. Birthdays are the annual event that most everyone looks forward to. With friends around, it becomes a special cele- bration. With each birthday, one gets older and older, the older one gets, the more grow- ing up one must do. More decisions must be made and the preparation for life gets closer and closer. Adulthood is right around the corner, so is the rest of the world. As aging is part of everyone, everyone goes through changes. Certain changes in peoples lives consist of schooling, like college, and further, going into careers, responsibilities, and families. This breaking away from how things once can be extremely painful. Leaving things that once were such a great part of you is an experience no one will for- get. There are many paths in life and many tough decisions that have to be made. Many mistakes will be made on our road to adulthood. We learn from our mis- takes, so don’t lose hope. Life is the wonderful gift we all have been fortunate enough to receive. So, take hold of life. Ride it as far as it will take you. You’ve got it — take advan- tage of it. ▼ Jill Britton SWEET SIXTEEN Helping Amy McGuire celebrate her birthday Hawaiian style are: Gin- ny Miller, Michele Cobb, Laura Bearss, and Kelly Skertich.

McGuire Novice Play Arsenic Old Lace Arsenic and Old Lace was a delightful- ly funny mystery put on entirely by the students of Theatre Company. Student directors Michelle Bosten and Lisa Car- roll had a lot of work involved from choosing the show until its final perfor- mance. Arsenic and Old Lace is about two el- derly, kind-hearted sisters who run a rooming house and put their lonely ten- ants out of their misery by putting arse- nic in the elderberry wine. The sisters were Maura Young and Rhonda DeFord, the nephews were Thom Holicky and Mario Ortez. Both the audience and the crew had fun during Arsenic and Old Lace. ▼ Kelly Knicker Novice Cast Rob Palmer makes his debut as Jonathan Brewster, the murderous brother in the dra- ma. Thom Holicky, Maura Young and Darren Fields are about to drink the infamous elder- berry wine. Rhonda Deford, Martha Brew- ster, speaks to Maura Young who portrays her sister. Abbey, who is her partner in the murders. Yes! Break Away Teenagers are realizing earlier on in life that the world runs on money. They are joining the race while still in high school. A job, school, sports, plus other activities is a lot of work, but they ' re doing it all with positive results. Getting a job or becom- ing involved with some sort of volunteer work, like S.A.D.D. is really a step towards indepen- dence. Earning their own spending money, saving for a dream or college has become a way of life for most of the upperclassmen. Some commendable people work to help out their family with the bills or buy their own Melissa Mantel doesn’t get paid for working at the bookstore, but she does get experience. Break Away 18 Money % Money clothes and things they need. Others work only when they need money by watching other people ' s two year olds tear up the house or take care of yard- work in 100° and 80% humidity. Though it ' s not usually fun, the money always helps. A lot of kids do chores around the house that they may not be paid for, but consider what the par- ents go through to put food on the table and it all evens out. Family members have to help each other. When the time comes that kids do those help- ful things without being remind- ed, begged, screamed at or bribed; they ' re growing up. Once one makes the decision to become more independent and he gets that job, time he calls his own is limited. Every minute seems to count and he has to budget time like never before. People become more motivated and can ' t procrasti- nate or waste away hours of thinking about what they had to do before it’s too late. He real- izes how much time in his life was wasted in front of the televi- sion after school watching Scooby Doo” reruns he’d seen at least ten times before. Mow, when the working teenager gets home from school on those working days, he grabs some- thing to eat, changes into a uni form and puts school as well as personal life behind him for the time being. He’s there to prcr duce — to accomplish some thing just like everybody else in the workforce. Besides money, a job during the high school years provides valuable experience one can learn from. If he is lucky enough to get a job in a restaurant and someday wants to own one, his time and efforts there are not wasted if he discovers that busi- ness isn’t for him. It earned him money and helped him make a career decision. Learning to deal with people Potesta Lynn Blaskovich shows that mon- ey from hard work can buy many nice clothes. Potesta is the most important thing one can learn from a typical part- time job. This is no easy accom- plishment. One never knows when his patience will be tested on the job. Everyone has their moods, customers, bosses and co-workers. Sometimes such as in fast food or restaurant busi- ness, people have to work as a team. If something goes wrong, it reflects on everybody. Bosses tend to be the moodiest people of all. They have the highest ex pectations and if a worker doesn’t live up to them and keep the customers happy, he may find himself unemployed! Teenagers work very hard for less money than most adults. They handle it and stay with the jobs because they can forget their own problems, school and have fun at work. They make new friends. Old friends may feel threatened because of less time spent with them, but they’ll get over it. Occasionally one feels he is blowing off his family and feels bad that he can’t be there to visit people from out of town because he has to work. Other people just love to have a legitimate excuse to get away from “Old Aunt Harriet who pinches their cheeks and acts like they are still six years old!” There are two sides to every story! A lot of people in sports miss out on the money, fun and expe- rience one gets from working. They are dedicated to and need- ed by the school’s athletic de- partment and the school itself. That’s work too. Paid for by spirit and pride in their many jobs well done. Some get schol- arships, but everyone learns about being part of a team and to deal with members like a part-time job. It’s a lot of fun and hard work. Some people have a job and are in sports too, others must give up one or the other. From Sweats to Shades This is unfortunate because both are important to an emo- tionally developing teenager. A lot of teenagers really like their jobs. Some girls really don’t mind babysitting and giv- ing up going out on a Friday night to the game. They can al- ways catch up on Dallas” or watch another show on televi- sion. If the people have video recorders or cable they can catch a movie. If they like kids, they can always play games with them. In other jobs, one can meet people and joke around with co-workers and they get paid for it. So working really isn’t just for the money all the time, it ' s for independence and fun! ▼ Kelly Knicker Break Away 1 9 Money iu fc 4 Money. It’s on the minds of or at leas t close to the hearts of most teenagers. Once the initial problem of how to get some is resolved, then comes the easy part: spending it! Teenagers perhaps have the easiest time in deciding what they want to do with their mon- ey. Unlike little kids, teenagers usually have a goal to aim for, whether it is something they want to buy immediately or in the future, or a reason to save — like college or a car. Most teens have a savings account and some even have checking accounts. A few lucky ones have credit cards. The average teen has be- tween $5 and $30 dollars to play with each week. This mon- ey goes for school lunches, fast- food, entertainment and what- ever else they want or need dur- ing the course of the week. Teenagers also spend a lot of their money on the school. Games and dances are an im- portant part of their social lives. And there’s always the mun- chies machines” and the never ending, very tempting candy sales for the different clubs. To some teenagers this mon- ey comes to them in the form of allowance from their parents. This usually refers to freshmen and sophomores. It seems the older one gets in his high school years, the more money he needs, so a lot of Juniors and Seniors have part time jobs. This is because most can get their driver’s license or know a friend who can. To get one’s li- cense, most students must pay for at least part of Driver’s Edu- cation classes, if they take them, or insurance on their par- ents ' policy. When one gets that license, suddenly those faraway places like “the Mall,” River Oaks, Woodmar and other exot- ic places with stores, restau- rants, arcades and movie the- aters seem closer than ever. Be- sides spending a lot of money at these places — it also takes gasoline to get to them and this costs money too. Most teen- agers expect or would at least appreciate their friends chip- ping in to help pay for gas. Through the years; just like the price of gas, the cost of a teenager’s social life goes up. The car runs on money and so do teenagers. However they use their money, it ' s all a part of growing up. If they blow it on stupid things, to them it is well spent. Happiness is what every- one needs in their High School years. ▼ Kelly Knicker THE DAIRY QUEENS. Lynette Mravca and Audrey Pau- cak’s expressions show that work isn’t all that fun.

That is not al- ways the case. There are many reasons that having a special re- lationship is good. Many great times come from being with your special someone. They al- ways seem to be there when you need them, and two people can become very close, perhaps too close. A lot of the time, friendships suffer because people devote all of their time to that special someone. Many times friend- ships with people of the opposite sex, are put under a big strain. NUMBER ONE! Friendship is Number One for April Watkins, Sharon Paluga, Sandy Kos- tur, Julie MacDonald, and Karen Klickman. This is mostly caused by jealou- sy on the other person’s part. Close relationships with peo- ple are usually a good experi- ence. Not only can one have good memories, but one learns from experiences and mistakes. If one goes out with a person for a long time, many memories are kept. The good times always seem to be remembered over the bad. In the end, a friend is usually gained. Not only has a person gained knowledge, but gained something more impor- tant, a good friend. ▼ Amy McGuire WORKING TOGETHER John Koleno, Robert Fozkos, and Dar- rin Koczenewski deepen friendship on the Field. HAVING FUN! Being together with friends at Great America always makes a good day. Poteata Potesta needing people Going to the movies, dances, and parties are some of the things done with friends. Friends play important roles in our lives. Whether the friend is a boy or a girl, we all need someone to de- pend on. Sometimes, it is also nice to have a member of the opposite sex as a friend. They can often help out on problems with a girl- friend — boyfriend relationship, or just be there to give an occa- sional hug or encouragement. Being with friends and having a good time makes one feel good inside. When someone is feeling down, an encouraging word from a friend does won- ders. Look at your friends, good friends make you smile! ▼ Beth Tumidalsky LETTING IT OUT Ed Haack, Brian Dennis, and Ron Bremmer have a good time at a dance.

At the beginning of the year all the students are try- ing to figure out what the teachers are going to be like. Everyone sees just what it is that he can get away with in each class. Most teachers tend to be fair, but they soon realize which students are go- ing to cause trouble. The class pets are already starting to be found. When students become friends with teachers there are usually a lot of benefits that go with it. Turning in homework a day late, or get- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Teachers can give you good advice about the future and they are often the first to stick up for you in case of any trouble that you may get in- volved in at school. Class clowns and people who don ' t care about their school work really get on teachers’ nerves. When a teacher doesn ' t like you they can give you a lot of trouble, and make your life miserable. Teachers can be just the ones to listen to your prob- lems, if you get close enough to them. ▼ Amy McGuire WAIT A MINUTE!!!

Facing the everyday rou- tine, it helps to have teachers get you through the day. If one is in a bad mood or just “not with it” that particular day, a teacher letting things ease by helps a lot. Even a friend just smiling and saying “hi!” can really help sometimes. Someone taking the time to ask you what’s wrong, if you’re feeling down, shows they care, and makes everything look a little brighter. ▼ Amy McGuire C’MON PUT UP YOUR DUKES?

Potesta Break Away 25 Going Places A different change in your daily atmosphere can really help a lot. A great way to do that is to visit all the few places to go. Chicago is a real- ly fun place to go. During the day there’s the beach, shop- ping, and ball games. The night life is endless! There are many different res- taurants and concerts. Just walking around can be very interesting. Highland can also be a fun place to spend time. Walking around, swinging on the swings, and going to the games and dances are some of the things one can do. ▼ Amy McGuire GOING PLACES, SEEING THINGS . . . The one thing that most people want is to travel. Although High- land is small there is always some- thing to do with your friends. Chi- cago and the beaches are close by. McGuire Potesta Lynette St This year we tended to break away” from the tradi- tional homecoming. First of all, this was the first year that a foreign exchange student, Holger Philippsen, was part of the Court. Another change was the moving of the parade from the day of the game to the evening before. This was done to avoid an interruption of class. Also, the pep rally was held outside on the foot- ball field instead of in the Field house as usual. Many welcomed this chance saying that it made it seem more ap- propriate and helped to make the rally a little more success- ful. We didn’t totally break KING AND QUEEN.

Some of the days included Hawaiian Day, hat day, and the traditional blue and gold day. Our 14-3 victory over Grif- fith also contributed to the success of the spirit filled week and made the dance all that much more enjoyable. The class of ' 85 has proved itself unique in many ways and this years’ Homecoming was one of them. ▼ Lynette Mravca Cox Potesta ANYTIME NOW Happily awaiting the parade, a few Highland students pass the time by telling jokes. e ,ar Y t, SOPH PRIDE A few Sophomores show their pride for the class of ’84’s float.

The parade then pro- ceeded to the football field where Lynette Mravca and Bob Geyer were crowned queen and king. Then the cheerleaders did some cheers to get the players fired up for a victory. Captains Larry Meading and Jim Johnson gave speeches and emphasized that the Tro- jans would try their hardest to ge t a victory. On Friday, the players were ready to go. Playing their last high school football game were Jim Johnson, Chris Jones, Rick Casassa, Harry Smolen and Jeff Brown. The football players “cut grass” and won 19-0. This is why the 1984-1985 Football Homecoming was something to celebrate. ▼ Lynette Mravca CLOWNING AROUND Tim Stein and Lynette Mravca joke around before the parade on Thursday night. TAKING FIVE.

Dick and Jane started off many years ago in grade school, but they, like the rest of the world, have moved on — until we find them now in high school at Good Old Highland, still caring for their pets, which are not now Spot and Puff as much as super-hyped cars, weights, cosmetic bags, or furry mittens, a current rage.

Dick and Jane also know about image, and can fit themselves into whatever image they want — while still keeping to the basic look which says themselves. There are times Jane goes punk, which may make some parents wonder, but Jane knows the look can easily be changed when she wants to appear more “acceptable for that new job interview. Dick can look oh, so preppie — with his alligator sweater and that neat white collar peeking over his pastel top. His hair is shorter now, and he’s more concerned about finding a good school and finding a good job than asserting his own im- age. That will come in time, he feels.

With Geraldine Ferraro moving ahead to cut even wider frontiers for women, Jane also knows she should prepare herself for a career, as well as for raising a family. So many homes have two parents working now, and Jane has her sights set high. There was a time when a woman interested in medi- cine would automatically think of being a nurse, but our gal Jane has no aversions to first start thinking about being a doctor. If there is go- ing to be a woman in the White House soon, she knows her own opportunities are growing, and she wants to be prepared! High School still means a lot to Dick and Jane; they enjoy going to games once in a while, and the aftergame dances are still a good way of having a fun evening for not much cost. And that’s important, for both Dick and Jane are learning to wage the battle for the buck with more advanced weapons. While they work part-time, they also know they ' re being expected to pay some of their own costs at home, and with prices up and mon- ey tight, they’ve learned to look for sales, think twice about another trip to Southlake, and even get a little more reasonable about Christ- mas and birthday presents for their special “someones”. Time marches on and all that — but Dick and Jane do see things a lot more clearly now. Maybe they’ve been forced to grow up a bit too fast, and maybe they don’t have time to enjoy simply being a teenager as much as they’d like, but on the whole they feel good about themselves, and they’re not afraid to move into the years ahead.

Mein Name ist Sven Holger Philippsen. This year I left my hometown, Osnabruck, in the Northern part of the Federal Republic of Germany, to spend a whole year in the United States, to see what America is real- ly like. I was a bit afraid of coming over, because I had nothing, but a vague idea about the real American way of life. I always combined America with what I was able to see on TV. Big, fast cars on the highway, sexy girls, and cool guys with coke and sunglasses. Then I thought also about kind of noisy tourists in Ba- varia; in Hawaiian shirt, shorts, not to forget the tons of cameras around their necks to get the best shots of a Munchener Octoberfest. I had more serious thoughts about Indians in reservation camps, who lost all of their culture, because they were expelled from their terri- tory by force. And at last, of course, there were nuclear weapons, sta- tioned against the will of the Ger- man people, by America against the Soviet Union. Now, I am here for almost four months and I already got many im- pressions and experiences. Amer- ica is quite different from Germany, and a lot different from what I ex- pected it to be. I saw fast cars — and 55 speed limit signs. I saw sexy girls, and nice ones; and I saw cool guys as well as the same fools we have in Germany. When I was hungry I was able to choose between hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, and pizza. Still back in my country, an American girl as- sured me, that people over here eat hamburgers as often as Germans eat their National dish; Einbein nut Tauekicurt. In fact, I eat Einbein only twice a year. While talking about food, because I like sweets a lot, Dunkin Donuts soon became my favorite. At the very end I have a wish: I would like that politicians could get along as well as I do with my friends here and the exchange students from Japan, Australia, Brazil and Scandinavia. We would have less problems then. ▼ Sven Holger Philippsen Potesta ... of the ocean My watch said 1:00 a.m., it was really 8:00 a.m., Paris time. I understood jet lag. As the bus travelled between Par- is and St. Brieve I observed the scenery: grassy hills, quaint little farm houses, lots of cows. “My God,” This isn’t France, it’s Wisconsin! Such were my first impressions of my European sojourn. On the bus, the other 29 American teenagers spoke French. Once we arrived in St. Brieve, most of us heard French people speak French for the first time. “Strange, I can’t understand a word these foreigners are saying.” Don’t be disillusioned. The French people were wonder- ful as was the country side, but to an American like me everything was so — differ- ent. It’s almost impossible to describe the feelings one gets walking through a 700 year old building. Everything, somehow manages to whis- per Europe” and at the same time shout it into the ears of the uninitiated. My most important mem- ory, however, is simply being part of a family. We laughed, we cried, we were all the same people. A cultural difference didn’t seem to matter. So, I didn’t fully understand a lot of things due to being raised in American society, for 7 weeks of my life I was undeni- ably French. I left part of America there and brought part of France home with me. Which part? The best part, bien sur! ▼ Thom Holicky Chivalry It’s Not Dead! Have you seen such dis- gusting sights as a girl open- ing a door for guys recently? Or maybe a girl struggling un- der a load of books while her boyfriend strolls usually be- side her, arms empty. These examples have been occurring in greater frequen- cy and have prompted in to raise the burning question, foremost in every over- worked woman’s mind. Is chi- valry dead or only sleeping? My guess is that it’s sleep- ing, but might as well be dead for all females to see. For those of you who don ' t know, chivalry is basically common courtesy. In King Arthur’s time, chivalry meant treating all women as precious ob- jects, killing dragons and or villians to save them, and lay- ing down one’s dreams. By the 50’s the idea of chi- valry had changed radically. With the extinction of drag- ons and a few major words, woman had to learn to fend for themselves. Now, chivalry had changed into guys open- ing doors for women, pulling out hairs for them, bringing them flowers, and having a general concern for their comfort. Of course, this gave the girl the perfect opportune ty to flatter the guy with little comments on how kind he must be. This brings us to the 80’s, the age of liberated women. Now, chivalry can mean any- Potest thing from bringing roses to the girls to opening the door for her (or say other respect- ful actions as the girl is lucky enough to get). Few guys comply to the idea of treating their girl like a lady. If they do, it’s usually only occasionally and something is expected in return. Of course some of this could be the girls’ fault, but I doubt it. One reason for the lace of “chivalry” in the 80’s could be a lesson in respect for people. During the 60’s women lost their femininity and because of this, men looked upon them with less respect and more as competition. In re- cent years women seem to be trying to get some of their femininity while still retaining their assertiveness. All these examples pertain only to America. After a discussion with Holger Philippsen, our ex- change student, he felt that in America, women are treated as sex objects rather than a feminine piece of art, as it is in Germany. In these times of equal rights for all men a nd women, people can easily forget to re- spect one another as equals, ironic as it may seem. In all our hustle and bustle we tend to forget that each person is special and unique and de serves the same consider- ation we want for ourselves. Maybe the days of opening doors for ladies, sending flow- ers, and helping a lady with her coat are gone, but it is still an age of consideration for others. ▼ Carol Mills Chivalry Break Away 39 Highland Pursuit No trivial matter What is the hottest game to hit America since Space Invaders ? Trivial Pursuit, the party in a box” created by Chris (Horn) Haney, Scott Ab- bott, two Canadian news- men. One rainy afternoon in December of 1979 Haney and Abbott were at loss. They couldn’t find the Scrabble board. Haney sug- gested they invent a game. In less than an hour they had designed the basic structure of the game which has taken the world by storm. After 2 years of research the game was ready for the test. The 2 partners borrowed enough money from friends and relatives to produce 1200 units which were all sold in 3 weeks. A bank manager who got hooked on the game loaned money for 20,000 more units the game acquired a cult-fol- lowing. In November of 1982 Selchow and Righter got the rights and began manufacturing the game for the United States. They were currently producing one game per .8 seconds, totalling a staggering 4 mil- lion per month. The sales of the game has been stim- ulated by word of mouth and small ads in trade press. There are many edi- tions, Silver Screen, All- Star Sports, Baby Boomer. The game consists of 6 thousand trivial questions on 1 thousand cards in 6 categories. The retail cost is $30-$40 for the Genius edition, $20-$30 for the sup- plementary edition. The creators are very particular about the kind of Break Away 40 questions used. “Trivia,” Abbott says, “isn’t who is Vanessa Williams?” Trivia is “What’s the name of the girl she posed with in all those pictures?” “We try not to bore people,” says Chris Haney. “We won’t ask what Babe Ruth’s bat- ting average was in 1935, because who knows and who cares? This criteria sets the stage for the three categories that the ques- tions fall into. Most are in broad middle ground but some are what Haney calls “monies”, designed for those people who are too tired at one a.m. to think straight, but still get them right. Some are “stop- pers , such as this one: “After Ed Norton of “The Honeymooners was injured in a sewer explosion, what was the number of the hos- pital room he stayed in?” The sales of the games have testified to its popu- larity. In New York, the high class people are hosting Trivial Pursuit parties and loving it. The overwhelm- ing success of the game comes about because it ap- peals to all. People of all ages can enjoy the Genius edition, and the supple- mentary editions appeal to those with specific inter- ests. Another reason for its popularity is for the oppor- tunity for people to inter set with one another. Be- cause of the alienating ef- fects of video games, peo- ple are looking for some- thing new and a bit more human, without the sky- rocketing prices of a home computer system. ▼ Carol Mills j Highland Pursuit Artist: Rich Bigger 9 What was the name of our Swedish ex- change student in 1983? • Who was the 1984 Student Council presi- dent? 9 Who was the Senior Class president in 1980-81? • Who was Highland’s drum major in 1982- 83? • Who were football Homecoming King and Queen in 1983? 9 What was the name of the musical in 1982 with a town Dogpatch? 9 What was the theme of Prom 83? 9 What two people played Annie Oakley in 1983’s “Annie Get Your Gun? 9 Who played Captain Von Trapp in the musical “Sound of Music?” 9 Who played Charlamagne in the ' 84 pro- duction “Pippin”? 9 What was the 1983 football record? 9 What team was the only one to have a perfect season three years in a row? 9 Who was the wrestling team captain in 1982-83? 9 Who was the girls track coach in ' 82? 9 Who broke the 200 freestyle record in 1983? 9 What landmark was present before Grif- fith Plaza was constructed? 9 Marne the two record stores in Southlake Mall? 9 How many stores are there in Woodmar shopping mall? 9 What was the prior name of Sports 2000?

As early as the Re- naissance in the 1600’s music has played a part in the look of the people. During the Re- naissance the music was light and entertaining, art was imaginative, and the s tyles of dress were frilly and elegant. Today, music is everchang- ing and versatile. Many differ- ent music personas have fil- tered into the fashion scene. Probably the most noticeable this year is Madonna. Her songs are light and entertain- ing. She sometimes wears tat- tered denim with lots of rhin- estones. She wears lace with heavy black shoes. Traces of the Madonna look can be seen in the halls of Highland High, in the street, or in fash- ion magazines. Break Away . 42 Entertainment Another tough character to hit the music scene is Grace Jones. As a former model she has been performing in night clubs over the past few years. After one look at Grace, one doesn’t easily forget her. Her hair is severely cut close to her head. Her clothes are so audrogynous one may won- der if she really is a woman. She is considered one of the pioneers in the menswear craze among women. Graffiti art has also made its way onto many t-shirts; sweatshirts, and jeans. It sur- faced shortly after all the breakdancing movies. Another favorite for t- shirts, is the large writing of a certain words in black bold letters. The most familiar is the Frankie Goes to Holly- wood “Relax” T-shirt. David Bowie tries on the t-shirt in his mini-movie video “Blue Jean”. Some of the most unusual looks have come from Cyndi Lauper. Her bright orange hair and junky jewelry have sparked many young peo- ples’ minds. Other groups who have in- fluenced style are Bananar- ama with their messy hair and true red lipstick. Boy George’s eyecatching face as appeared in many new made-up looks. Duran Duran has also influ- enced fashion with their casu- al and stylish dress. ▼ JoAnn Saczawa Oh, Happy Day! My ‘Street Pass’! Ah the drivers license! There are many advan- tages to having your drivers license and some students feel it is a necessity and can- not imagine life without it. There is no more bugging Mom and Dad about running you here or there or calling all around town to catch a ride with friends. Now having your license, you can go where you want to and do not have to wait around for anyone else to decide when it is time to leave. Another advantage to hav- ing a drivers license is not having to be confined to High- land. There’s a lot of great places to have fun besides here in Highland. A third advantage to hav- ing a license is being able to drive to school rather than catch ing the bus. This saves you a lot of time in the morn- ing and will be able to catch some extra sleep. Also, when having a license a person learns to be responsi- ble. You’re not only risking your life, but you’re risking the lives of others. Having a drivers license is a lot of fun and has many ad- vantages but also teaches an individual to be responsible and it is no joke. ▼ Michelle Smith Music Music plays a big part in teenagers ' lives. A lot go to concerts and buy records and tapes. The best way I found to en- joy music is to really experi- ence it with my own hand. In the past years I have had some interesting experiences. Some of them have been good but, a lot have been bad. I try to forget about the bad ones and think of the good when I get frustrated and tired of the whole idea of being in a band. Being in a band has made me more aware and under- standing of people and how they think, because when you’re in a band you have to make decisions about things and make deals with people, sometimes they want to help, and sometimes they want to take advantage of us. Being in a band I meet a lot of people. It seems after I get done playing somewhere I have many people come up to me and say that I was good but it never ceases to amaze me how many people, mostly other musicians, say that they could have done better and they are better than other people. I used to feel this same way but I decided it was too much to worry about and if they are better than me, more power to them. Although my band has had some problems, personally and musically, I think I will be “jammin ’till I am too old to pick up my bass. ▼ Darrin Lazio Catching the beat from the inside out Entertainment Break Away 43 I I This past year a new fash- ion has emerged. Actually, it is just a new twist — on an old pair of slippers. They are assorted shapes, sizes, and colors with your fa- vorite animals and cartoon character on the toes. Some of the styles are elephants, lions, bunnies, Garfield, and Cabbage Patches. In assorted colors, they brighten up any room. Plus, they make great conversation pieces. Another good point is their amazing capacity as boredom-breakers. Though no self-respecting, mature high school student would admit it, it is entertain- ing to make the slippers dance. Or, if you are the more sadistic type, you can make the slippers fight each other. Creativity abounds once the slippers are on your feet, providing an endless supply of time killing activities. ▼ Carol Mills Co Vrabd Hackey Time Hackey Sack, the new fad every- one is trying! Hackey Sack has been out for two years but is just becoming popular once again. Hackeying is quite easy, all you have to do is throw it up and hit it with any part of your foot. Some people use their head, chest, and backs. If anyone touches the hackey with their hands they re- ceive a death shot. The death shot is when you throw the hackey at the other person. To have a hackey you have to hit it nine times. Vr M A new style of jean jackets became a new dress code for Highland High School students. They come in a variety of looks to suit your personality.

Well, if you don ' t remember, it was a long piece of rope. Things have sure changed as we enter the future. Long leather belts hanging from the waist down and thick-short belts with enor- mous buckles has brought pizzazz to ordinary outfits. Jingle Bells If you saw this girl in the halls you would defi- nitely notice her earrings. Wearing three earrings in one ear produces a strange melody of music.

Break Away 45 LOSS is not losing The word “loss” is defined as detriment or disadvantage from losing in Random House. But this is very super- ficial and doesn’t compare to the heart-wrenching feelings that losing something or someone can bring. There are many ways that loss can af- fect a persons reactions, but deep down the feelings are the same — loneliness and hurt. Whether it is the loss of a friend, relative, or just the loss of innocence adjusting to change can be very difficult for a lot of people. When a senior citizen dies, it’s painful for close relatives. But there’s always consola- tion; at least they have had long years on earth. There usually aren’t too many nega- tive feelings. The mourning period is relatively short. Dealing with the pain depends on your own belief in God or Afterlife. But if you don’t have a faith there’s still hope! A great definition of love is wanting what’s best for the person you love, not for your- self. Perhaps the person was in pain sometimes or really depressed with life. At least he or she lived a long life full Potesta of memories and now won’t be in pain anymore. It is a different matter when children are involved. The world’s sympathy lies with children, and it is for the loss of innocent lives that we grieve when they die. The death of a child provokes many negative feelings in- cluding rage, despair, loneli- ness and fear. It seems very unfair that a child should die because he or she hasn ' t even lived yet. But, are we crying for them or us? If a child dies, at least they lost their inno- cence or wound up hooked on drugs. At least we don’t see them hurt or put down or perhaps seemingly happy but actually in despair. At least we don’t see them end up like us. But even though we know how much that child meant to us, we still won’t let down our own sophisticated facades. So many times people have the attitude of “keep your chin up” and they don’t let their true feelings out. Sooner or later those re- pressed feelings surface and it won’t be at the most conve- nient moment or in the most convenient fashion. Some people will take their frustra- tions out on others, while some other people will lose themselves in escapes. Nei- ther “solutions” are too pleas- ant, nor do they solve the problem. What is the answer? Talk to people. Share your feelings with others and make sure you’re being as honest and as open as you can. Don’t think there ' s no one to talk to. The world is full of hotlines de- signed to help people who feel there ' s no one who under- stands. It never helps to keep deep-felt feelings inside and locked away. No one is invin- cible. Another type of loss is that of friends. There are always going to be people with whom you’re friends for a long time who seem to have changed” or maybe are just not as fun- ny as they used to be. Once you become aware of the first few times that your close friends and you don’t relate, keep your eyes and your mind open. You may have come to what mothers friend- ly call the “parting of ways”. When you’re in elementary school, you have one set of friends, in high school an- other, and by college gradu- ation you have an entirely dif- ferent set. It’s highly unusual to keep more than two or three of your high school friends. Many people seem to ignore this and hold onto a dying or already dead relationship. Maybe they do just for old- times sake or for security, but it’s a bad situation to be in. You find yourself lying, in a way, living a lie. It’s much more beneficial to talk to your friend about it; try to solve the problem together. If you do talk it over, you may find you may think more alike than you knew. If not, it’s natural. There will be sadness or ten- derness, of course, but this shouldn’t be mistaken for feelings of true closeness. The time has come to move on. There are other ways to end uncomfortable relation- ships; you can get into a juicy fight which half of the school seems to get in on. This is an effective way to end a friend- ship, but it’s also destroyed many chances of an amiable relationship. Overall, dealing with loss concerns communication with others. Most problems can be solved just by talking your feelings out with others. You can be surprised at how many people feel the same way. Another help is a simple act: hugging. A hug is very helpful in times of great pain or stress. If you see someone whom you love who looks down, try a hug. Helping oth- ers is a great way to deal with your own pain. ▼ Carol Mills Sharing means caring like a real pro Do you still watch “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood”? or do you watch “Hill Street Blues”? It really doesn’t mat- ter, but you have to grow up and start being the adult you were meant to be. How do you know when you’re not a teenager any- more? You may think when you’re twenty you’re over the teenage years. For some, this is true, but most of us mature before that. When you are re- sponsible, independent, and thinking about your future, you’re on your way to adult- hood! Can you handle the respon- sibility your parents give you? Or can’t they trust you? Many parents allow their children to make up their minds in cer- tain situations. This will pre- pare you for the future when you ' re on your own. Some other responsibilities are tak- ing care of the home while your parents are away or if they are divorced and you must make dinners and watch your brothers and sis- ters. Also, one of your respon- sibilities are your grades. Being independent doesn ' t mean you must move away from your parents, but not al- ways depending on your par- ents for everything. It’s good that you talk to your parents and ask their opinions but sooner or later you must be on your own because your parents won’t always be there. Lastly, start planning your future now. if you can do that it shows you are an adult and no longer a teenager. The teenage years are great and you should have the best time of your life during them. But when you are ma- ture enough, leave the memo- ries behind and move on. It ' s something we all have to do. ▼ Linda Krolak LOVE KNOWS HOW TO STRETCH From early youth to the golden years, love always knows how to keep surviving.

On the local scene, Peter Visclosky was elected to Congress, and Senator Ralph Potesta was returned to the Indi- ana Senate from the district which in- cludes Highland. This was the first election many students were active, working at the polls and doing cam- paign work, and many learned a great deal about the political system.

After 39 years of “wait ’til next year,” next year was finally here. On the night of September 24, 1984, a night full of histo- ry, the Cubs clinched their di- vision titles. Cubs fans went wild. People swarmed to Wrig- ley Field, dancing and singing in tribute to America’s team. Fans laughed and cried at the same time, people took out full page ads in newspapers to congratulate the Cubs, and there was a telegraph sent to Germany saying, “Cubs win!” It was a night true Cub fans could never forget. For a team patched togeth- er by general manager Dallas Green; it was certainly filled with some bright colors. One of the brighter ones was the Cub’s second baseman, Ryne Sandberg, a golden glove win- ner. But in this team there wasn’t one player that stood out more than anyone else. Everyone did more than their fair share, including Gary Mat- thews, Bob Dernier, Rick Sut- cliffe, Jody Davis, Ron Cey, Leon Durham, and Keith Mor- eland. The fact that there wasn’t just one superstar in the Cubs lineup, but many made this Chicago ball club a team that worked together through both good and bad. The team looked to their cap- tain, Larry Bowa, for leader- ship. Where would the Cubs have been without manager Jim Frey, who took a team with a 7-20 Cactus League season to a victory giving the Cubs the National League Eastern Division title? It is true that the Cubs got no farther than clinching their division but true Cub fans shed no tears. We’ve been used to losing for a long time. We’ve remained fans even after all the losing seasons. Our day will come, just wait. So we had one disappoint- ment this year?

Because of touchdown runs by Karen Nagy and Tra- cey Guzek, the score ended up as 12-0. The Senior offense tried hard, but a tough Junior defense stopped them from scoring.

A soft light came up on center stage, revealing Carol Mills as the Leading Player. She sang “Magic To Do”, exhorting people to “join us.” As more lights came on they revealed the rest of the players in a character freeze which they soon broke out c come down to platforms into audience. The opening dialog “This evening, for your entertainrr pleasure, we present our most my rious miraculous tale,” sets the tone for the evening: a show full of lines directed to the audience. The audi- ence is later invited to sing along as Bertha (Michelle Boston) sings “It ' s Time to Start Living” to her grandson Pippin, played by Corey Risden. His flamboyant half-brother Lewis was played by Mario Ortiz. Thom Holicky brought the part of Charlemagne to life, complete with accent. Angie Rauer played the role of the “devious and crafty” Fastrada, Pippin’s step- mother. After Pippin goes through a war, he stumbles upon The Head, played by Kevin Beck, who later shows up asks to be put back on his shoulders again.

It con- cerns the imaginary son of Charles the Great, Pippin. He feels very unsatis- fied with life and searches for fulfill- ment. After going through a war, usurping his father, and falling in love, he finds out he still isn ' t satisfied and plunges into abject despair. The Leading Player, with the help of all the players, coaxes Pippin into be- coming the Grand Finale: a human flame. “Think about the sun” is the phrase that catches him. But he fal- ters at the crucial moment and real- izes that with all the magic of the stage, the love that he and his lover shared was the only fulfilling thing. ▼ Carol Mills FOLLOW ME Lead dancer Dave Vail lures the others to battle in the fall musical’s Dance of War. It’s time A T r ' A get serious! 9 9 9 Last spring, after an alcohol related accident involving seven Highland girls, students expressed concern over the increase in alcohol consump- tion and teenage driving accidents. This interest led to the formation of the first S.A.D.D. committee. Alcohol related accidents are the number one killer of the 16-24 year old age group. This group is also responsi- ble for causing 44% of night time fatal accidents. S.A.D.D. is a nationwide organization that stands for Stu- dents Against Driving Drunk. High- land started a committee last year, consisting of students who were will- ing to put time and effort into saving the lives of fellow classmates. There are a lot of misconceptions about the S.A.D.D. organization. The only statement we ' re trying to make is: if you drink, it’s your choice, just don ' t drink and drive. In the summer of 84 a group of S.A.D.D. members went to ITI (Indi- ana Teen Institute) where they ac- ‘‘It’s a club that cares!!!” — Kelly Knicker quired much knowledge and brought home information that has been valu- able to the committee. Later that summer another group of S.A.D.D. members went to a con- vention in Indianapolis for M.A.D.D., held by “The Governor ' s Task Force to Reduce Drunk Driving. Bob Anas- tas, founder of S.A.D.D. was the guest speaker. We learned how to deal with people who drink and ways to discourage drinking and driving. Highland has a large S.A.D.D. chap- ter, 100 students have returned the Contract for Life. The major thrust of our S.A.D.D. chapter has been to educate other young people about the dangers of alcohol. Bill Essex, a former undercover cop, was brought to speak to the en- tire student body. We feel that our ef- forts paid off. Mr. Essex was well re- ceived by the high school students. S.A.D.D. has continued to be ac- tive in our goal of educating and pro- moting alcohol awareness. S.A.D.D. members have spoken to parent groups, sororities and local service or- ganizations, about their concern with the increasing problem of drunk driv- ing. We feel that if one life is saved, our efforts will not have been wasted. ▼ Tina Brysz Potesta HAVE YOG TALKED TO YOGR PARENTS??

Class of ’84 Silver Celebration Highland ' s twenty-fifth graduating class said good- bye to Highland High School on May 27, 1984. Four hundred and one se- niors received their diplo- mas and set out to discover the world beyond the walls of high school. The Class of ’84 proved to be outstanding in many ways, but, one that seems to stick out was the leader- ship that this class had. They led the Homecoming festivities each year with a winning float. After taking the PSAT test, a great num- ber of the class of ’84 were National Merit Finalists. As Senior Class Presi- dent, Matt Sharp said in his farewell speech, “We should be proud of our- selves. When we look back on what the Class of ' 84 did, they will see triumph.” Yes, the Class of 1984 had a lot to be proud of. Meriting the honor of Valedictorian was Mary Pyke. Mary was president Break Away . Graduation of French Club and a mem- ber of French Honor Soci- ety. She was on the Swim Team and the Speech Team. Mary was a recipient of a National Merit Scholar- ship. The Salutatorian was Mary Wermuth. She was an active member of the Cross Country and Track teams where she received many awards. She was vice-president of German Honor Society and was a foreign exchange student in Germany the summer before her senior year. Completing the list of top ten seniors are: Rick Karr, Denise Sambor, Don- na Bearss, Lee Ann Stiglitz, Basil Adad, Elizabeth Try- tek, and Shawn Laszlo. The Class of ’84 was the last class in Highland High School to have the privi- lege of early release. They were also the last class to get out of school two weeks before the rest of the school. New education laws were passed that would require all seniors after them to have a full day of school consisting of at least six courses. The Silver Graduating Class will go down in histo- ry as having accomplished many things. Under the motto: “We Are The Fu- ture,” the Class of 84 went out of school and prepared to take on what the world had in store for them. ▼ Stephanie Watson TRIUMPH! Debbie Onofrio’s smile says il all as she steps down proudly from the platform on Gradu ation Day! The only IMAGE Smile. Take a deep breath and blow out all your troubles with the exhalation. Now try to smile. Really smile. Feel strange? Sadly enough, being happy is some times as elusive to the human race as the unicorn. But why?, some people may ask. One big reason — insecurity. Insecurity breeds facades and lies. Facades and lies breed more insecurity. Life becomes a vi- cious circle. How can anyone expect to be happy if his whole life is a sham? Look over the last week at the way you interacted with friends, family and your- self. Embarrassed? Puzzled? Or maybe you ' re just tired. Tired of being peppy or constantly bragging or simply tired of peo- ple. Congratulations! You have just made the first step to being a new, honest person. If you got drunk or high or made fun of someone last week, ask yourself why you did it. Did you really feel happy doing it? If you ask yourself some questions and really try to be honest, you ' ll be surprised at all the thinking you’ll have to do to decide wheth- er you ' re going to be a stereotype or an individual for the rest of your life. Look at a person you really respect or simply like a lot — and ask yourself why you really like him or her so much. The usual answer would be Well, they seem to have it all together” or because they seem to understand you. Do you wish that counts you could be like them? Or maybe you ' d like to be secure like they seem to be. You can find peace of mind if you really want to. One thing you can do is learn how to play. Very few people, except for children, are really happy because they may have forgotten how. Playing can be anything from scrambling over jungle gyms to hav- ing a good old fashioned snowball fight (of course not on school grounds!), complete with a well-made fort. Some may think, “How immature!”, which is fine, but these people are usually so “mature they never really smile, let alone really enjoy most of the things they do. Honesty is a virtue which some adoles- cents find rather difficult. During the trying teen years most kids have difficulty finding their own identities. Outside influences such as the infamous albatross of fitting in” tend to increase the chances of seeing ourselves as being one type or another not because we really are, but because the pressures of people around us make us think we should be so. It may also force us to remain in our same old rut of ways we respond to things when the time has come at last for us to start being more sensitive and mature. Honesty can help us recognize this time and act on it. If we don’t act, that decision will decide our immediate future, and possi- bly our long-range future as well. Many years later we may regret that we failed to recognize this time. It is easy to become bitter in the fashion wars of society, where every step we take is monitored by cliques. Frustration builds easily and may finally lead us to the ques- tion — where did the simple need for ac- ceptance turn into a game of hate? But if we are honest with ourselves and others we can see the turning point. We can feel the frustration sooner and check it before it becomes destructive. Maybe someone should have told us (and if they did, why didn’t we listen?) that being popular — alias, going with the crowd — shouldn’t be so important to us that we hurt others, and very often even ourselves. It’s not hard to feel compassion for the mothers and fathers who are so hurt and bewildered by their child ' s drinking problem or by their suicide. They always see the best, no matter what they may say. Expressing love is not easy for some parents because they may have grown up in homes where love was not expressed or outwardly shown. Yet in cases like this, it is often the young person who can help those useless walls of pseudo-authority fall away when honest affection is given and we let our parents know we still respect them — but really love them as well. They will al- ways be there for us, but because of our insecurity and lack of honesty, we some times hurt the people who love us most. It seems so much simpler to be honest in the first place. ih . . . jock . . . brain . . . wimp . . . punk . . . prep . . . ins . . . outs . . .

At this point hords of people are say- ing, “Oh no, he’s dragging up that . . . um . . . issue again? I thought we sorted out that last year.” True. We did. The benches are for everyone, popular and real people alike. A word to the wise for the ambitious freshman who doesn ' t have a moped, don’t waste your time. The benches are just wood. It ' s no great thrill sitting on them. Believe me, I asked someone. Now why are we (they, we, it, what- ever) worried about this elusive attribute of popularity? Obviously the answer lies in this: hero identification. Recently scores of photographs have been un- earthed of such men as Einstein, Edison, Morse, yes — even TychoBrake — proudly sporting their letter jackets. And it’s not just the men, it’s well-document- ed that Madame Curie and Mother The- resa of Calcutta were Prom and football homecoming queens respectively . . . All kidding aside — Oh, forget it — still kidding, what makes some people Potesta Image doesn ' t exist only in high school; it’s in every school and in some people it continues right on through adulthood. Granted, image and reputation are impor- tant, but the problem arises when image is the most important thing in a person’s life, and reputation replaces honest respect. This can result in a suppression of feelings and morals which, as time goes by, become harder to resuscitate. This can turn some very wonderful, hu- man, caring individuals into empty, plastic people who fly through life thinking only of themselves and how to fill up the part of their heart left vacant because nobody wants to live there. These people have a hard time coping with depression and can turn to craving escape. Because they have never really exper- ienced a positive escape such as exercise or music, they may turn to alcohol, drugs, or any of a number of negative escapes. But none of thes e seem to satisfy their needs. They wander through life unhappily, still caught up in themselves. What they don’t realize is that if they just opened themselves up and tried to love, they could be satisfied, it’s in giving love that we re- ceive it. One of the purposes of a high school is to teach people how to interact with people and become mature adults. Many times we see high school only as a learning house and a fashion showcase. We may also view it as a boring obstacle to get over in order to get on with more exciting things with our friends. But so of- ten we miss the point. We should be learn- ing about ourselves and others and growing up. Growing up doesn’t necessarily mean being sophisticated and snooty; it means knowing who you are and what you believe in. If we don’t feel comfortable around our friend s or if we don’t even like them, we should have the common sense not to hang around with them. School is full of interesting people. Reach out beyond the ordinary, the dull status quo. Go where you feel you should go. Don’t ever be afraid to dream. Without dreams, we are dull and unimaginative. Be honest with yourself and seek out what makes you truly happy. Share with other people, especially parents, that which makes you happy. Don’t worry so much that you never relax and let go. Most of all, enjoy life. Try to find joy in each day that you live. The best image of all if one that is confident, self-assured, hon- est, and happy. ▼ Carol Mills ahs . . . loners . . . burn-outs . . . Rah . . . jock . . . brain . . . wimp . . stand out. I mean, I see Them too. Were I a Stranger, I’d say, ’’Those are they.” Other people would put it differently, but that’s what I’d say. The so-called rahs aren’t the only ones that stand out. You musn’t forget the burnouts. I don ' t use that term deroga- torially. Victims of their environment, personality quirks, and of mind-altering drugs, one cannot blame them for what their existence lends to our society. Most people fail to realize that the den- im and flannel army composes about 40% of the schools’ population. All right, maybe that estimate’s a bit high. Humor me. Anyway, without our outspoken ref- ugees from the past decade, we would miss out on a great many fisticuff en- gagements and also copious social com- mentary. Example of this latter: how else could I have heard twelve times that waiting in line for a turkey sandwich ‘‘reeks pretty bad?” That same descrip- tion has been applied to sundry adminis- trative institutions, law enforcement offi- cials, and educational establishment policies. Sure, these are stereotypes. I hate ste- reotyping because I’ve frequently been stereotyped. Albeit, I try to fit the stereo- type as best I can. It’s my personality. For example, I may have offended some people with this article. But if I offended you and you’re still reading, obviously it must have had some redeeming quali- ties.

Be aware, for many, life ends after high school . . . ▼ Thom Holicky Image Break Away 63 W e’ve been up to our eyeballs in education all our lives. We’ve gone from kindergar- ten through grade school, junior high, and so on through high school. Each grade may have var- ied, but all have been somewhat similar. Teachers and parents standing over and watching close- ly was probably experienced in nearly ' every grade. We’ve gone from children to kids, from teens to young adults, and all the unmen- tionable names that fall in be- tween. Probably not even realizing it, we’re growing up, aging, ad- vancing, and hopefully maturing. Come sophomore or junior year, one may start realizing that high school is soon coming to a close. Now high school is over and what happens? All of a sudden it seems as if we ' re supposed to be adults. The typical life of the average stu- dent is changed. The minute that diploma is handed your way, ZAP — you ' re an adult, do somthing with your life! It’s a hard change to go through but ad- justments must be made. Many different options are there, yet many different obstacles. There are a lot of unusual roads that can be taken. Whatever one may choose they must take into consideration not only the present but their future as well. Our future is what we make it. Whatever is wanted, that’s what can be had. There’s a large world out there waiting for some of us. The one s that make this world a great place to live, grow, develop, and prosper are the ones that will succeed. If the goals are set, reach high for them, achieve them, and have a taste of success. ▼ Jill Britton To further education, one may pick college. A lot of choices are involved after deciding college. Does one want to go away for would one prefer a local school? Also, would one like a large pub- lic school or a small private one? Everyone knows college costs money. If money is a problem, check out finan- cial aid, loans, or maybe a scholarship is possible. Keep in mind, if college is wanted, go for it! It will help prepare one for their future in whatever one may want to pur sue. ▼ Jill Britton With this ring . . . The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard are five military organi zations.

First, one must go through basic train ing. After basic training, one is tested to see what area they do best in. From there they are put into that area to work. The Armed Forces, serving our country, help make America a strong and safe place to live. ▼ Jill Britton Joe Jane College After high school one may choose marriage. Marriage, the combining of 2 people, involves many different things. Care, love, devotion, and trust are just a few of the necessities of a good mar- riage. Many questions will come the couples way. Where to live, are children wanted, and most important will the marriage last? A marriage can be something so beautiful. The love of 2 people com- bined, sharing in life, living happily ever after until death do they part. ▼ Jill Britton v 1 Uncle Sam and You Senior Class to Working Class One choice after high school is to go straight into the working world. There are a few questions one may need to ask. What type of job is wanted? Are there openings? What is the pay? Right now, jobs are hard to find. If one can find a good job that is enjoyed, things will probably work out. Working and making money may be something future graduates look for- ward to. One should set the goals high, try hard, and be confident of the future. ▼ Jill Britton Ever sit back and dream the impossi- ble dream?” Well, for some that dream becomes reality. Be it an actor, dancer, model, or may- be a singer, if the dream is there, it can be achieved. Hard work, hope, self confidence, and a lot of potential are all needed to catch that very special dream. Just keep in mind, if something is wanted and wanted bad enough, one can have it! It may take a long time, but if one never gives up, really tries, and shoots for it, the impossible dream will become reality. ▼ Jill Britton Riding Rainbows Warts on the World After high school, for some, life stops. If one does not have the desire or gump- tion to do anything, what’s left? Nicely referred to as a wart on the world, this degenerate person rots. This is probably the life this nothing of a per- son leads. A future for this person is near impos- sible. Hard working, desire, and poten- tial, help build character. When one doesn ' t hold any of these characteris- tics, their character can ' t build up the desire to grow. Without growing what can one do? ▼ Jill Britton Life Break Away 65 pressure.

There’s one word to say to all of them, however; that is ENJOY! School can be fun and excit- ing, not to mention interesting. Where else could one meet so many different people? For ex- ample, Holger Philippsen, the foreign exchange student lives in Germany. He has been here all year and has taught the stu- dents so much about his cul- ture. The students have learned about his music, dance, dress, schools and the way his govern- ment operates. Holger has giv- en so many people the gift of his country. Many students can relate to the frustration of not knowing how to do the simpliest math problem. The student sits in WHAT DID YOU SAY? Senior Jackie Sweeney is very lost on what the question was in Economics class. class and listens intently, but still can ' t comprehend what the teacher is saying. Then one day when the teacher is talking it finally hits home. When the break through hap- pened it made the student more confident than ever that one can achieve if one tries. School is where many learn to make friends. No matter what grades one gets or how hard classes may seem, stu- dents still have their friends to help get through the rough spots. If one can’t understand an assignment one just calls up their faithful buddy and asks for their help. As students go through the years, many learn how relationships grow from ac- quaintances to the best of friends. Today school may seem like a waste of time, but what one learns here can never be taken away. School is where one learns, grows and expands. School is what one makes it so enjoy, ex- perience, and remember one does not only learn the basics here. One learns about life, love, caring and friendships. ▼ Alexandra Jakubowicz Rad wan TOGA TIME Junior Greg Kacer takes time out to wonder if his pink toga would have been better.

Most teachers feel home- work improves the students ' skills and reinforces classroom discussions. Some students use their daily study halls to do most of their homework, others try to get it done during class, at lunch or before school. No matter how hard students try, however, there is usually some left over that has to be taken home.

When teachers grade home- work and find that their stu- dents did well, it made their jobs seem worthwhile. For students there is nothing more gratifying than overcoming obstacles and finally understanding what is being taught. For both it is a job well done. ▼ Alexandra Jakubowicz GOING FOR PERFECTION!

Academics Break Away 71 Making From old ways of school to different and new require- ments. The Class of 1985 began a new tradition in academic re- quirements for graduation at Highland High School. The first major change was in the length of the school day for all students. The classes were lengthened by five minutes and Senior ' s early release was elimi- nated. The only way Seniors could leave early was if they at- tended the ECO (Early Class Option) at 7:00 in the morning. Then they could only leave at 2 : 00 . The second major changes came in the credits allotted to each class and the number of classes to be taken in each sub- ject. The math and science SO CONFUSED With much time and effort, Debbie Guersney will be able to do her work correctly. MAKES A DIFFERENCE Counselors not only discuss school matters, they are always willing to give us some good ad- vice!! Vrabel classes now require two years in order to graduate. Also, the Physical Education class is only worth a half credit a semester. Lastly, the Class of ' 88 now needs 42 credits in order to graduate. The new classes required are the following: four years of Eng- lish, one year of U.S. History, two years of math and science, one semester of health and speech and one year of Physical Education. These requirements might seem hard to live up to, but it makes for a more intelligent class of people in the end. ▼ Alexandra Jakubowicz A TIME, A NEED John Stoica slips an answer to Dave Smith who is in need of help.

Foreign Language Foreign languages become familiar The French have a certain “savoir faire, a certain “know- how to do something, but can we as typical high school stu- dents say it with style? The an- swer is a big YES! German, French, and Span- ish are offered to students who want to learn a foreign lan- guage. These people take an in- terest in a second language for a variety of reasons. Foreign language classes broaden one ' s horizons. Along with a second language comes learning about another culture or maybe several other cul- tures. This is because the For- eign Language Department at this school has travelled, read, taken classes and talked to peo pie to find out as much as they can about the languages they know and the countries in which they are spoken. This year everyone got a sample of foreign culture during Foreign Language Week. Culture of a country has to do with traditions, religion, govern- ment, economy as well as other factors. To some people the knowledge one absorbs from these classes is the key to un- derstanding the world around them — they learn what things happen and maybe even why. This kind of knowledge is very valuable throughout one’s life. Other students take a foreign language to get into a good col- lege. Many require two years in high school as well as two in college. On the SAT ' s, a foreign language may help one’s verbal score because many words have meanings which are simi- lar to those difficult ones on the test. Besides being good for com- munication and understanding, a Foreign Language class is a lot of fun. ▼ Kelly Knicker ENJOYABLE! Karen Klickmann learns to enjoy her foreign language. FRIENDS! Tim Colby and Terry Tobin prove class can be fun. Mickow r Careers Making the future less challenging An Industrial Arts class is a whole world in itself. These classes are where students work individually on projects that they can design themselves. Accord- ing to Scott Denny, “There’s noth- ing like the feeling I get when I see my project develop before my eyes.” The vocational shop classes in- clude Electronics, Drafting, Met- als, Woods, Printing and auto shops. The Woodshop class gives the boys the experience of per- forming and using complicated equipment. The Auto Shop is an interesting class that teaches the basic proce dures for working on cars. The Electronics class experi- ments with many different de- vices that can be of future use. Mechanical Drawing or Draft- ing offers the experience needed for an architectural career. Printing is another interesting variety of technologies; from printing envelopes to making a lamp. No matter what they do, the students find enjoyment in their work. Contrary to thought, Industrial Arts classes are not easy, but un- like other classes at Highland there is a great deal of pride in the finished project. With all things considered the Industrial Arts department is an active, growing and very impor- tant part of the Academic Cur- riculum at Highland High School. ▼ Alexandra Jakubowicz TEACHERS CARE Mr. Mastej, sharing his knowl- edge. gives a student some good pointers.

Raydene Fenyves gives Michele Steinbeck some helpful hints so she can learn to do it right and make it look perfect! Skill From basic skills technological ability grows If all learning is for life, there are some types of learning which deal more directly about making the quality of future life better. Many of Highland ' s classes are geared toward developing useful and productive careers, and while some, such as Home Ec and Shops, deal with specif- ic skills, there are other classes which give students experience and development in a variety of career-oriented activities. With the computer world now in every part of our society, different classes are using com- puters in a variety of ways. In everything from career class to biology, math, and now journal- ism, students are learning not to rely on machines, but to let ma- chines begin freeing them for newer ideas and better ways of performing old tasks. With the future always threat- ening to make demands, High- land educators and students continue to work toward mak- ing education a process of many different skills, attitudes, and learning experiences. When life makes those de- mands, it looks like Highland’s graduates will be ready! Math The mind which succeeds in tomorrow ' s world will be the mind which can handle that world ' s pressures. As Highland students prepare for the world, two different yet similar disci- plines can help assure success. Because understanding the people behind any business or career is critical, Psychology prepares a student not only to know how to succeed, but also how to cope with the problems met on the way to that goal, and also when it is reached. In Mr. Fralinger’s Mr. Furman’s classes, students learn how to examine motives, reactions, and methods of response found in different kinds of people, and as they finish senior year, they leave not only with a diploma, but with some good understand- ing of themselves and others as well. Another discipline which is necessary in today’s world is the ability to handle numbers and mathematical concepts, and Highland ' s Math Depart- ment continually produces not only award winners, but many students who will be instrumen- tal in the workings of the busi- ness and corporate world. From basic math classes to the most advanced courses, each Highland mind is chal- lenged to understand and work with the principles which gov- ern so much of our lives. Under the direction of Depart- ment Chairman Mr. Mel Ander- son, Highland math students are assured a competent and up-to-date instruction in what they need to know in today ' s complex world.

Communications Potesta Potesta Communications Root Speaking your mind! Communications. The world could cate. Journalism, art, and choir are fun not exist without it and neither could the students of Highland High School. Ev- erything one does is connected with the art of understanding one another. There are many different mediums of communicating. The one most common- ly used, of course, is speaking. There is also television, radio, and newspapers. But, writing is not the only means of expressing one’s feelings. Art and music also convey one ' s feelings. English and speech aren ' t the only classes to take to learn how to communi- and teach students to express them- selves more clearly. Typing and writing classes also help attain this goal. Many students go on in many of these mediums of communicating. Many paint, write, sing, and act in their spare time. These can become their career or freelance income. Taking an unusual class can help a lot of people to learn to express themselves better. ▼ Belinda Marsh WE’VE GOT SPIRIT: The varisty cheerleaders show their team spirit while exciting the crowd at a home game.

Towards the middle of the year the Trojans were split into two bands, Wind Ensemble, di- rected by Mr. Russell, and Con- cert Band, directed by Mr. Schaffer. The band did well in 2 solo and ensemble contests. Jazz band concert and 2 full band concerts. The Trojans toured in Orlando, Florida, and played for the crowd at Epcot Center.

Vocal Break Away Music is a terrific way to express oneself. It affects both the body and the mind. Many people join chorus classes to express them- selves verbally with a song. To make beautiful music takes a lot of hard work, dedi- cation, and a little talent. It all pays off when the concert goes well for both the stu- dent and the teacher. An especially outstanding concert this year was on De- cember 19, 1984, the Christ- mas concert. The grand fina- le involved everyone in the audience reaching out to the people in Ethiopia and help- ing them. Over $180.00 was raised to provide them with food. There are several chorus classes one can join and two vocal groups which meet after school. Freshmen Girls ' Chorus, Varsity Choirs I and II, and the two groups, New Horizons and Trojanotes are under the direction of Miss Pamila Guenzler. Mr. Gordon Wilder directs Concert Choir. All groups are quite good and their works can be en- joyed at concerts several times a year.

So you look for something that you are interested in. Doing something different like joining a new club is like breaking into a new family. It is the feeling of being secure, trusted, and wanted for your ability to do something you enjoy to do. Hot only are you setting a good example for other students; you, yourself, are achieving personal goals. ▼ Janet Sowinski Student Council A Popular Organization Student Council is a very popular club. Student Council is behind many of the organizations that take place. Home coming, dances, and other fund raisers. Student Council has a board of officers that mainly have the say so in all the projects. Along with the help of Mrs. Hal- pin, the club never runs out of ideas for everything they take part in. To be in Student Council it takes spe- cial qualifications. They do not accept just anyone. The board of officers take time in choosing the correct people they feel are needed and could help the group greatly. This is probably why this is such a popular club. ▼ Holly Fentress DON’T WORRY! . . . Sometime it is scarey giving blood at a Stu- dent Council blood drive. HMMMMMM . . .

BRRIINNNNGGG!!! as the alarm goes off, I wonder what I am doing getting out of my nice, warm bed while everyone else is silently sleeping. Slowly I wake up and realize I am going skiing today! 4:15 A.M. I hop into the shower and to- tally come to my senses. The butterflies are crazily spinning around in my stom- ach. I’m fired-up for some heavy-duty skiing today. 4:30 A.M. Now that I’m fully awake, I gather my equipment together and pack. ’’Let’s see . . . I’ve got my ski pants, skivvies, wool socks, hat, scarf, mittens . . . What am I forgetting?” “Oh, I almost forgot my munchies for the bus ride!” 5:00 A.M. Arrive at the school. All of my friends look like zombies. “Shouldn’t have stayed out so late last night you guys!” 5:30 A.M. On the road to Cannonsburg. It ' s going to be a long bus ride so I think I’ll cop some Z’s. After a nice long snooze, I’ll be ready to roll when we ar- rive. 10:00 A.M. ’WE RE HERE! WE RE HERE!” I throw on my ski boots, gather all my belongings, grab my lift ticket and RON to the slopes. 3:00 P.M. I ' ve been skiing for almost five hours. Do I dare try the MOGULS? In- stead of seeing stars, all I can focus on is THE BLACK DIAMOND. I think I’m ready to try. As I ride the chairlift up, I realize I’m shaking. Is it from the 10 de- gree weather or from my intense fear of moguls? This seems like it ' s taking for- ever to get to the top! I finally arrive and I feel like I’m on the top of the world. The view is wonderful. Miles of sparkling, white snow and tons of trees. Besides the thrill of racing downhill, the scenery is tremendous and one of the many thrills of skiing. 3:10 P.M. Well, I think I’ve finally got enough nerve to just push off a little. Maybe if I go down slowly, it won’t seem so bad. Here I go!! . . . WHOA! How excit- ing! I’m really cruisin’ now. Hey every- body! Look at me! WHEE! swish swish swish. I MADE IT! I actually mastered the moguls!!! 5:00 P.M. Time to pack up and head for home, it’s always sad to leave a place where you’ve had the best time of your life. Everyone managed to pull them- selves onto the bus anyway. The memo- ries of this ski trip will remain in my mind forever. On the way home, stories are flying across the aisles about how everyone did something they never have before. 9:00 P.M. Home. I get into bed and fall asleep almost instantly. Only one thought is in my mind, Boyne, Michigan! 9:15 P.M. Sweet dreams! With a smile on my face, I dream of all the fun I ' m going to have with two days of skiing in Michi- gan. (Maybe I ' ll even ski some diamonds at Boyne!) ▼ Lynette Mravca SKI CLUB OFFICERS . . .

Highland Theatre Company and Monbeck Auditorium Staff definite- ly have something to point to. The Theatre Company is coming out of its transitional stage. Larry A. Brechner and Pamela Guenzler have helped the Theatre Arts Department gain some long overdue and well-de- served recognition. Theatre Company has undertaken many projects this year. In the fall the company produced a mini-musical,” Pippin. The next production from HTC was a student directed drama, Arsenic and Old Lace. This was directed by HTC seniors Michelle Bosten and Lisa Carroll. Two more of the company ' s projects were the jr. high play and a novice play. The grand finale of HTC ' s season was the spring musical. This year the musi- cal was My Fair Lady. All the projects were a huge success. Monbeck Auditorium Staff, founded six years ago when Larry A. Brechner came to Highland as auditorium director, has grown into a sizeable and smoothly- run organization with nearly sixty mem- bers. In the past six years, the staff has set high standards in technical theater production on the nearly fifty produc- tions per season. Included in the produc- tions are all school related shows as well as many professional productions from outside the school system. Monbeck Auditorium Staff and the Theatre Company are again successful in their undertakings. These organiza- tions provide a good learning experience for all involved. ▼ Kim Messmer .

It takes time and personal sacrifices for the benefit of the group. Many students are members of clubs, but it takes someone special and unique to get involved and be a part of the group. A truly involved person does not mind missing his favorite t.v. show to make publicity posters or to sell tickets after WHAT’S UP??? Going to a school game and cheering the team on is being involved. school. He also wouldn ' t mind staying at school till 8:00 to help make theatre props. Look around, there are many things to get involved in. Such as, going to a game, marching in the parade, and just being with friends. Another route would be spending time in the military.

During the first semester Lori Peterson and Theresa Kenders served as editors, and when Theresa left to pursue success in Speech and Debate, Lori served as editor alone, with Cricket Reynolds assuming the du- ties of Associate editor. Sports Editors Steve Bock and Lyn- ette Repking served in the first semester, and Terry Radwan took over for Steve as co-sports editor in the second semester. “Main Event” or inside spread editors were JoAnn Sacazawa, Jim Mayberry, and Jane Schlueter, while the Editorial- Opinion page was handled by Cricket Reynolds, Jim Mayberry, and other stu- dents. Beginning journalism students took over the Trojanal Advertising section, and under Ad Manager Heidi Troxel they kept an extra flow of money flowing into the Trojanal fund. Other ad staffers were Karen Cox, Ken Balazs, and Michelle Smith. Jim Cox and Dave Potesta handled photographic duties for the paper, assist- ed by Barb Vrabel, Kelly Mickow, Scott O ' Connor, and advanced journalism stu- dents. While Trojanal staffers tried to keep students informed of current topics such as money, how to make the most out of a trip to Chicago, pressure for grades and SAT scores, and also covered the new group SADD and helped students come clearer in understanding their own identi- ties. ’84-’85 was all there — in black and white.

Captain Jori O’Connor makes Mr. Kaminski ' s job more easy. These girls help make our cheerblock! Lettergirls take a lot of the participants personal time away from them. They have to prac- tice two times a week for an hour and a half. They take this time to learn the new cheers and routines. Lettergirls are often thought to be spirited and stupid. This is totally erroneous. Lettergirls have to maintain a “C” average or better. They have had classes like everyone else. Lettergirls shouldn ' t be put down for having spirit. They should be commended for all the time and effort they put into it.

Being a part of this dance group, means wanting to help and par- ticipate through the good and tough times. While being Majorettes, these girls have learned many things. They’ve learned how to practice hard, and have learned what friendship is really about. One important thing the girls have learned is that when you’re with a group of people as much as they are, you have to be able to get along. For twenty girls to be able to pull things together dur- ing the hard times, they know they can all depend on each oth- er. Under the new direction of Kim Eriks this group is kept working hard.

These courageous and daring young men help the female cheer- leaders with their stunts, double stunts, cheers, and the quality of their spirit. They also do floor cheers and a half-time entertain- ment show. Mr. Kaminski is the sponsor of the male cheerleaders. He holds meetings regularly, coordinates cheers, runs practices, and gives the boys much moral support. This fabulous five includes cap- tain G. Vezey, M. Miller, J. John- son, S. Rosko, and D.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT Coach Sheibourne motivates his team at the pep rally. - Friday Night Fever The Highland High School Trojans had a team unlike any other in recent years. With only eight seniors, head coach Dave Shelbourne was put in a position where he was forced to play numerous underclassmen. The seniors were called upon for leadership. The offense, led by honorable mention all-state running back Chris Jones and all-conference hon- orable mention running back Jim Johnson looked to pile up yards behind an inexperienced offensive line that boasted only one senior, Harry Smolen. The offensive line found the going quite difficult early in the season. Hard work helped the line to come together later in the season. The backs and receivers provided the closest thing to experience the Trojans had. The develop- ment of Kip Kelly at quarterback allowed Chris Jones to move to tailback. Seniors Rick Cassasa and Scott Filler made teams respect Highland’s aerial attack. Senior re- ceivers Scott Rosko and Bob Crowel also led the passing game. The defense was led by juniors Tom Puntillo and Tom Galosich. Both played inside linebacker. All-conference defensive end Larry Meding an- chored the defensive line. Jeff Brown was the lone senior down lineman. The defense played well all year. The seaon started off a disappointed one and four coming to the Munster game. Al- though Highland lost to Munster, they gained a lot of respect and won an important moral victory. The next game against Bishop Noll turned the season around for the Trojans. A Homecoming upset of the Panthers was next. The team be- lieves that Highland will again be in the running next year. ▼ Terry Radwan i I E JUST IN TIME Quarterback Kip Kelly gets his pass off before t he defense rushes in.

PERFECT STRIDE Mike Gray concentrates to make each stride exact and execute each hurdle perfectly. Coi Track seasons rate successfully Both the girls’ and the guys ' track seasons were ended on good notes last year. They each had the ingredients for success. The guys ended up with a 7-5 record for the regular season. They concentrated on Conference and Sectionals, rather than team record, and therefore did a lot of experimenting at the beginning of the year. The work payed off, and the team placed 2nd at Conference, even though they were predicted to be fourth in the pre-season pick. The Conference place was helped along by two individual championships: Jeff Bluethmann in the 3200m run, and Ron Swart in the discus. The 1984 season produced the most Regional qualifiers since 1976, with 10 people filling that position. Jeff Bluethmann qualified in the 3200m run; Brian Fozkos in the pole vault; Bill Bluethmann in the high jump; Rich Wagamon in the high jump and the 400m relay; Ron Swart in the discus; Bob Kuva, Paul Hossca Holclaw, and Dave Gentry in the 400m relay; Dan Witt in the 100m, 200m, and 400m relay; and Mike Oakley in the 100m and 400m relay. Jeff Bluethmann was the sole state qualifier and placed 5th in the state meet in the 3200m run. Coach Steve Furman commented that he was proud of the team because they showed that Success does come from hard work, determination, and a never-give-up attitude. The girls also had a great attitude through the season. They placed 4th in both the Calumet Relays and in Conference. But the highlight of the season was definitely when Tina Rogers broke the long jump record and set the new one at 17’534”. The girls worked together as a team, even though it was a young one. ▼ Lynette Repking Track Break Away 127 INTO THE SWING OF THINGS Green Rosko, Miller qualify for regional action This year ’s golf team showed great skill. Coach Dan Richardson led the team to a .500 season. Although a little inconsistent, their season proved to be successful. Scott Rosko and Mike Miller were two of the outstanding golfers on the team. Both qualified for regionals. An- other important member of the team was Jim Johnson, while Andy Raab and Doug McRoberts were also main varsity golfers. The guys golfed well at sectionals and came in fourth. Audrey Paucak and Carolee Kepler proved to be tough competitors. The girls practiced with the guys, but golfed in their own division. Practic- ing with the guys provided an obsta- cle however. It was hard for Carolee and Audrey to adjust to practicing on a guys ' field. Both girls golfed in a tournament this summer, and ended a successful season with qualifying for regionals. Highland boasts two of the top girls in the region, and other girls are encouraged to look into the golf team. The team has five returning letter winners. Next year’s team will be more experienced, and once again will be a tough team to beat. ▼ Sheree Stuckert FORE! Scott Rosko concentrates on another perfect shot. LETTER WINNERS: Coach D.

A very large team coached by Coach Renn, had a record of 4-6-2. Although basically a young team, the players played very well against the tough opponents that they faced. Two outstanding players on the team were seniors Rick Locasto and John Pawlus. Rick and John showed great skill in their scoring drives. The of- fense played well all season, but the defense did struggle somewhat. Marc Olah, a sophomore, showed great skill on defense. The goalie, Dave Tur oci, had a very good junior year and showed great poten tial. Last year ' s team wound up with a .500 season. They were eliminated by Chesterton in the first round of the playoffs. However, Highland was up against some very tough teams. They showed that they could hold their own and that they were a competitor other teams could not look at lightly. This year’s team looks very opti- mistic. Even with the loss of a few key players, good things should come of the coming season. ▼ Sheree Stuckert WITH QUICK FEET . . . John Pawlus steals the ball from an un- suspecting opponent.

The girls started out their year at the T.E South Invita- tional and placed second to many of the top-ranked teams in Illinois. They also placed sec- ond in the Lake Central Invita- tional and their own Highland In- vitational. They went on to win championships at the New Prai- rie Invite, and Lafayette Jeffe- son’s Invite. They ended the season with a respectable 12-1 regular-season-dual-meet re- cord. The girls then captured the Lake Suburban Conference Ti- tle, won second in the IHSAA Sectionals, and finished fourth in IHSAA Regionals. After this rewarding season, the girls went for the gold in the THROUGH THE CHUTE Ron Nagy is relieved in knowing that he has run another great race. State meet. They came home the fourth team in the state, a title held by only one other girls ' team in Highland. This was also a record for the girls them- selves. Next year the team will be losing three girls, but all of the state qualifiers will be return- ing. The boys’ cross country team also had an excellent year. They had the largest number of team members this year and from them came some great runners. John Collette, Derrick Johnston, Rob Duddy, Ron Nagy, and Jeff Hands were the key runners for the season. Coach VanLaan s team was not expected to make it to Re- gionals, but they pulled togeth er and placed 5th in Sectionals, giving them the honor of mov- ing to Regionals. John Collette was the only individual to move to Semi-state, where he put in an awesome performance. Both teams did very well this season.

Outstanding swimmers included: Renee Cseri, Stacy Lobozinski, Michelle Horwath, Monica Tillner, Erin Pawlus, Lisa Jendres, Jan- ine Zak, and divers: Amy Kleinschmidt, and Didi Klapkowski. The girls are looking forward to next year for another season of victories. The boys swim team, coached by Mike Boskovich, started off this season well and kept winning throughout. The result was one of the best seasons in the schools history. One very important fac- tor in the teams success was depth. Co-captains Steve King and Al Krygier showed they have what it takes to lead the team to victory. They were success- ful in their own events as well: King in 100 back and Al in 100 breast and 200 I.M. They both also did their part in the 200 Med. Rel. Other key swimmers in the teams effort were Ron Kucer, Ted Vidimos, Dan Stuckert, Mike Stuckert and Jeff Wolendowski. One team goal and major success was winning Sectionals. The team edged out the champion Seahorses by only three points and they did it at Munster’s pool. It was a great achievement for the guys. According to Mike Boskovich, the team should place in the top 5 at state. State qualifiers are: the 200 Med.

All four contributed experi- ence and leadership to a team that needs it above all else. Routh was incapicated when he tore some lig- aments in his right foot. The other three seniors were frequent start- ers and always contributed when they played. Returning junior letter winners included starter Ron Swart, Tony Terzerial, Dave Wier- man, Mike Milausnic, and Terry Radwan. Joe Coleman, Rick Bur- gard, and Darrin Korzenieski made up the varsity team. Mike Topor, recovering from a football injury, also made the squad. Sophomore players included Kevin Kyle and Chris Opperman. Freshman Hunt- er Atkins also saw a lot of action.

Wins included Cul ver High School, Hammond, and Noll. One of their biggest wins was against West Side, the best wrestling school in Gary.

We are going to have to part with our friends. We ' ll all say We ' re going to keep in touch when we go off to college. Then, somehow we’ll never manage to find enough time to write to all the people we promised. In a few years we might run into a fellow classmate and won’t be able to remember his or her name; let alone what classes we had with them. It will seem like time has passed too quickly. Our time has come to face the real world.” We will have to deal with a lot of problems that we have never dealt with before. Yes, we have grown-up these last three years, but let ' s enjoy these last months as teenagers.

We’ve come The moment has arrived! It is time for the Senior Class of ' 85 to part with Highland High. This school has been part of our lives for four years. We have come a long way. Our lives have changed so much since we were freshmen. When we entered high school we were fourteen years old. Most of us probably did not have a job. We had to depend on our par- LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE Heeding a clear picture Doug Slivka looks at his glasses. a long way! ents for money and for rides wherever we went. Our parents would say, Do you really have to go there?” It got to the point where you did not want to go out because it was such a pain for Mom and Dad. Now, we are Seniors and most of us have our licenses. We also have our own cars or can borrow Mom and Dad ' s. Now, we all have some kind of income. We need money for gas, sporting events, dances, or for just grabbing a bite to eat after school. It’s a lot harder earning the money. ▼ Alexandra Jakubowicz .

It is already a quarter to five. I have to start getting supper ready. I can’t forget to do the dishes before Mom gets home. Help me clean the living room! How many of you say this? A lot of high school students are faced with the enormous responsibility of keeping charge of the house. Many have to have supper cooked, and others have to clean the house, and watch their younger brothers and sisters. A few even have a child of their own to care for. Many parents work and can ' t af- ford not to work so the oldest child must help keep the house running. This really takes a lot of energy for a student to do, not mentioning the time. It is extremely difficult if the student has their own child. A per- son can ' t imagine the pressure and tension all these responsibilities can bring upon a person. Then one cannot forget the homework. Everyone has to fit their school work in, but where? After the dishes are done? After supper? When the baby goes to sleep? It has to fit somewhere. Another problem is how to spend the time wisely. The person with all these responsibilities has to budget their time according to what they have to get done. “Is there enough hours in the day?” some ask. Maybe not but every- thing must fit in. With all of these responsibilities is there time for being a teenager? Some might say, “Yes, there is al- ways the weekend!”, and I live for the weekend! It’s the only time 1 have for myself, to be with my friends, and to be with my family. ▼ Michele Gonzalez Break Away 168 Seniors Darrin Laszlo Jodi Lee Pam Leslie Debbie Lewandowski Kelly Leyba Stacy Lobodzinski Stephen Long Diane Lucas Dana Lyons Vicki MacDonald Lori Mankowski Richard Marciniec Dawn Marks Pat Marlinghaus Belinda Marsh Rodney Martinez Robin Massig Janis Matuga Mike Mayden Mike McCaig Lora McCrea Kathy McGuckin Doug McRoberts Nancy McWilliams Kim Messmer Jack Michaels Rich Mickow Patricia Mihalik Phillip Mikler Sandy Mikula .

While you ' re keeping track of how many days, hours, and minutes are left till the end of school, you are probably missing out on a number of things. Could it be seniors are not paying attention to the small, yet important details? Education is just not receiving a diploma, or that fun begins the mo- ment you step out of school, but it all ties together — together in school. So many of us are rushing these four years. Freshmen want to be sophomores, sophomores desire to be juniors and so on. It is not until senior year you might say, “I wish I could do that again! Always re- member what your parents preach, “The four years will pass before you know it.” If you feel like it has, you are not alone. You have already attended the Jr. prom and accomplished that final term paper. Also, your night- mares about Trig, and Econ. are over and books are passed along to others. Everyone is full of relief, and you should be, due to all your hard work and effort it took to make it thru eight semesters. So as you look to the future with many expectations, take time to enjoy the things happening before the 3:10 school bell rings. ▼ Karen Krahn Potesta Beth Swentko Scott Swinford Steve Szirovecz Kathy Szubryt Phil Szydlowski Elise Tanner James Temple Marybeth Tkach Joseph Tomaszewski Timothy Topor Tina Torres Diana Townsend Karen Traicoff Aimee Tratebas Bob Travis Michael Trkulja Anne Tseng Cheryl Turner David Turoci Laurie Clglietti Alison Vechey Greg Vezey Thomas Vicino Ted Vidimos Julie Villarreal Daniel Volkman Barbara Vrabel Jeff Walsh Daniel Warfield Stephanie Watson Break Away 174 Seniors Richard Waugamon Chuck Welgus Dawn Weldon Tammy Wells Alison Wermuth Matthew Werner Amy Wiening Doug Whitaker Amy Williams Christopher Williams Craig Wilson Karen Winiecki Kim Wood Jeannine Zak Sue Zatorski The Real World College, careers call Graduation is the final day, but what it means to be a senior in- volves many months of planning, deciding, and investigating career possibilities. For many of the Class of ' 85 col- lege looms ahead in the Fall. What college to attend, however, and what classes to take have all been decisions which took many hours and months of carefully checking to see what different schools of- fered. With many colleges and uni- versities sending representatives to visit school during the year, CAREER PLANS LOOM Elise Tanner looks back over good years as she thinks to the future and her life. many of these decisions were made a bit easier, but it has been the individual who had to come up with priorities and career planning ideas. Many of this class will also go on to different specialty schools, and these also have been drawing more and more graduates in recent years. From the American Acade- my of Art in Chicago to trade and beauty schools, many Highland grades have learned to develop skills offering life fulfillment and employment. No decision is easy, even if many realize there will be career changes in the future. Moving on is never easy, but breaking away from the past helps. Seniors A Break Away 175 Go Well! Saying good bye is never easy, and the Class of ' 85 leaves Highland High School, those who are left to still complete their schooling have many different emotions. After all those dances, games, plays, newspapers, speech meets, and the many other events underclassmen have shared, it is good to look back on the good times, but also saddens those who will b e back next year to participate in those same events — without all the good people of the Class of ' 85 who were so helpful. If commencement means beginning, graduation not only brings a new beginning for the seniors, but also for those who are left to work without them. Good luck and good living to those in the Class of ' 85. You will be missed, as you will be remembered with great fondness and respect. ▼ Barbara Mayer BREAK AWAY!

With Driver’s Li- cense tucked inside the wallet and underclasmen showing a bit of respect, the junior has little time to feel good about progress. There is too much work to be done for school, a part-time job, and some seri- ous planning for the future. Many teens feel junior year should be the best of all, with not so much pressure for col- lege entrance and the luxury of being an upperclassman. Not only students but teach- ers and administrators usually feel they can rely on juniors ' maturity, and often many clubs in school find their lead- ership among Junior stu- dents.

Unfortunately, some teens don’t feel these are the best of times for them. Some feel that they don ' t have a future or don ' t have any goals. These people are in a group many teens are in today called The Losers. There are many reasons ENTHUSIASM Steve Wajvoda knows how to work up motivation for his classes. why teens aren ' t motivated. One may be that something bad may have happened to a teen to make them unmoti- vated. Another reason per- haps is peer pressure is so strong, a teen can ' t hold up and give up on his her dreams, not even thinking about the future. They just let themselves wither away. Only a person who isn’t motivated can get them- selves motivated. People around them can encourage them and help them, but it ' s the person, themself, who has to dream and set the goals. ▼ Cathie Fisher Sophomores V Break Away 189 Alecia Kantowski Renee Kaptur Kelly Keene Kevin Keil David Kelly Chris Kerrigan Lisa Kingsbury John Klapak Diane Klapkowski Karen Klickmann Tom Kliza Janeen Kokot John Koleno Bryan Kollwitz Michelle Korem Debbie Krolak Linda Krolak Lon Krooswyk Rich Kula Sharon Kusbel John Kusy Lori Lankow Jerry Korwek Sandy Kostur Christine Kotlowski Agatha Kotsonis Joan Kovach Ray Lea Randy Lee Kristina Lee Dave Lenart Tammy Lenick Darren Lewandowski Joe Lewis Robert Livingston Class of ’87 Get it together!

There is the school hand- book, complete with some good maps, which soon make the maze of halls and subject areas clear. There are also helpful teachers in the halls to direct the way, and soon Freshmen are negotiating the halls like pros. All those school rules final- ly come into focus by going SO THIS IS IT! Freshman Kathy Blaskovich gets her first look at the Highland High Handbook. through the handbook, and with friends from old schools and new people in classes, it isn ' t hard to start feeling you belong. This year’s class officers were also a good group, and they made sure the rest of the school soon knew the Class of 88 was here for the long haul. Freshman teachers were also optimistic about this class, and with many mem- bers of it fitting into key clubs in the school, there was soon a feeling of really belonging. The Class of ' 88 looks like a winner! Break kwa 197 GO FOR IT! Getting into the Highland spirit are Michelle Munoz, Amy Hyland, Joan Dimopoulos, Beth Lively and Kelly Macklinski.

In many ways we have learned how to Break Away from the past. For Freshmen this means actually looking forward to re- turning as established mem- bers of the Highland High School family, and for all stu- dents there is a sense of good times and some hard times shared — and the sharing was good. As summer lures us with warm weather and all that free time, it is good to reflect back over what we’ve learned this year, and how each of us has grown. There have been some things we would rather forget, true, but many more experiences and times when we were giad to be part of our groups of friends, our fam- ilies, and most of all, of good, growing, productive people ready to move on to their next step on the planet. We survived ' 84 and we came alive in ' 85 — and it was a very good year! CELEBRATE! Looking forward to a good sum- mer are Cheree Miller and Rhonda McCartney.

Shield has nurtured it and it has grown. BREAKAWAY is special. Just like everybody on this earth. It has personality and it ' s different than any year- book every produced. We ' ve all grown a little, learned a little and changed a bit. Spme of us have taken on more responsibility, oth- ers have developed talents and others have been a little less serious and really had fun. That ' s what BREAK- Cox AWAY is all about — break- ing out of the ordinary, being yourself, showing your true colors without the fear of someone laughing at you. It’s about making mistakes and learning from them. Do what you want to do. We are differ- ent in many ways, but we all unite in this theme of BREAKAWAY! ▼ Kelly Knicker BROKE LOOSE?? Eric Granger seems to be a lit- tle off-the-wall, but he’ll get it straightened out. Breaking Away! It’s Unique! WHAT A WAY TO RELAX Sherree Stuckert knows how to lay back and relax. Break Away 238 Closing BREAK AWAY Breaking Away is very unique, and Al Krygier shows exactly how he feels. Proud! Cox The year moves on, as years are wont to do, and whether we wanted to or not, we have each learned to break away from many things. Some friendships are faded, and that has caused pain, but other friendships have grown in their place, giv- ing us newer experiences and different horizons to look to- ward. We have also broken away from many values which were once so important to us — and things we used to fear or worry about have now be- come part of our everyday routine. The Driver’s License is secure in our wallets; cred- its have been earned and for some that high school diplo- ma is only days away. And with it will come one of our biggest moves — BREAK- ING AWAY from Highland High School and all it has meant for us. Yet as each of us moves on, from the Freshman moving into Sophomore year — to the graduate who knows, pre- pares us to view life in a much different perspective — there is the security in knowing we know how to break with the past and make our futures more exciting. That’s a great lesson learned in anyone’s book!
