Rembrandt. Picasso, and countless other artists have created masterpieces using paints, clay, stone, and metal. Different materials go into the making of our high school world. Here. 2600 diverse students contribute to complete the HPHS canvas. The variety of students here boggles the mind — so many people with such differing points, interests, and goals. Yet from this assortment of tints and textures emerges one portrait, that of Highland Park High School. THEME 3 The answers to these questions are still uncertain, but that uncertainty intensifies our search for answers. And in that searching we add new dimensions to our developing portrait. Often we express our personalities through generous, positive behavior. Occasionally, however, we argue, protest, and exhibit displeasure through apathetic or destructive behavior. Nonetheless, we work to improve the self we see and the self others see. We hope to create a picture satisfying to all. THEME 7 During our years at HPHS we work to create this portrait by working toward our goals without disrupting the striving of others. As individuals we achieve triumphs and suffer defeats. As a group, we try to enjoy the good and help one another survive the bad. 8 THEME (bottom left): Senior Corey Blanc, amateur herpetologist, feeds his pet boa.

For four years the complete framework of a person’s life is often provided within the high school. They fill in the framework with the many materials school provides: academics, sports, and the wide assortment of clubs and activities offered here. Although there is enough within the four walls of HPHS to gain a satisfactory combination of the color and texture necessary to complete the picture, it is possible to reach even further, out of the framework of school, and add to the total portrait. Learning experiences in environments other than school occur more frequently for people who attempt to find their own interests. When individuals follow a separate path towards a unique goal, many new qualities are added to the canvas. Although these interests are unrelated to school, they enrich that person, who in turn contributes a new dimension to school. Thus, the total feeling is one of individuals fitting together as a whole. ACTIVITIES FEATURE 11 Short spirit week features food theme Food, always of interest to the HPHS student, provided the homecoming theme for the shortened spirit week. On Friday. October 21 each class was allowed two periods in which to express their loyalty. On that day. students eagerly donned costumes portraying a wide variety of food. Noon marked the annual balloon launch. In the afternoon, a police escort quieted the traditionally rowdy car parade. Friday night's pep rally added to the spirit displayed earlier. The seniors won the coveted spirit jug. As an innovation, varsity cheerleaders twirled orange lights to the Styx tune Light Up. Juniors started homecoming day early with PSAT's. Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative, with steady rain all day. Nonetheless fans flocked to the game. After soccer and soph football wins, the varsity beat Waukegan West for a first victory. 12 HOMECOMING Trying to save the junior class. Jackie Morris (top left) participates in spirit day.

Lenny Bass enjoyed the honor. Next, queen, Ruth Zirn, and court, frosh Debbie Schrayer. soph Peggy Wolf, junior Susan Shapiro, and senior Cherie Hannon were announced and received by escorts. The long-awaited announcement of the 1977-78 Spirit Jug completed the agenda. As expected, the senior class received the coveted prize for all their spirit and involvement. Sophomores and soccer players started the winning streak Saturday. Following suit, the varsity giant football players had their first taste of victory beating Waukegan West by ten points. The half-time activities included presentations of king, queen and court, as well as a car parade. Once again the turnabout was successful with 225 couples attending. 14 HOMECOMING Heightening junior spirit, rowdy masked boys (top) portray mixed nuts.

They were all to be found in The City, this year’s student stunts, presented December first, second, and third. Unlike past years, all material revolved around a central theme, which was the city. Also new this year were efforts by Director Melissa Mizel and the Creative Board, headed by Burton Jablin, to restore the production's family show image by ridding it of obscene language and other material of questionable taste. Other innovations included the use of only original music, most of which was written by Music Creative Board Chairman Michael Schubert and conducted by Music Director Claudia Friederici. Pantomimes and monologues were also added to the more traditional array of dances, choral numbers. STUNTS 17 Senior Mark Patinkin (top right) portrays a holi- day clown.

(directed by Kathy Mann) who in keeping with the city theme costumed themselves as pigeons. The show was also more technical technically elaborate this year, yet crew members, under the technical direction of Sandee Kormylo and stage management of Laura Kravets worked hard to make the scene changes go quickly. Presented by the senior class, stunts proceeds go to support the yearbook. Work on the show began in June. Attendance for The City was high and audience members seemed as pleased with the performance as they were eager to see it. as they gave the cast of almost 100 a standing ovation each night. One faculty member commented. It’s the most tasteful show I’ve seen in ten years and the best all around I’ve seen in 20. More emphasis was placed on dance this year, directed by Michele Melkerson. Audiences were amused as statues of Greek gods and goddesses came alive in a park and were enchanted as they watched the moving toys in a Christmas STUNTS 19 Eating heartily, frosh Anne Marie Schaeffer and Lisa Bernflold (below) enjoy the cuisine at the rehearsal dinner.

Orchestral Assault” parodied the serious musical scene, and Urban Exodus, with Andy Brizzolara as a cowardly big city mayor, was a biting comment on the flight of white America from the cities. Laura Pantinkin and Nancy Yusim stripped down to shorts to battle over a bargain shopping, in a put-down of pretentious suburbanites in “Cheap Chic.

A two hour production that depicted the struggle Annie Sullivan encountered when she attempted to liberate the blind, deaf, and mute Helen Keller. Audiences marveled at the reality of the HPHS production. Sophomore Shari Joffe, convincing the audience she was blind and deaf was moving in her role as Helen. Junior Lefcly Kahn thrilled audiences with her perceptive interpretation of Annie Sullivan. To accomplish a sense of reality the actors did exhaustive research. Lesly and Shari read Helen Keller while junior Scott Ellman. cast as Captain Keller, polished up his so southern accent by studying phonetics. Members from the Theater of the Deaf demonstrated the manual alphabet which was used in the play. Research was also done by the set directors. Mr. Sigmund and Mr. Carbol, who attempted to recreate the atmosphere of Ivy Green, the Keller home. Hollywood, Broadway provide theme for Charis extravaganza Tinsel and glitter, star-struck onlookers and glamorous Ziegfeld Folly girls filled the stage on March 17-18, when Charis presented its annual show. Thrilling to a “Hollywood” theme, a pleased audience watched as over 40 dancers portrayed dazzling chorus girls, mysterious spies, and swaggering cowboys. 22 numbers provided for a wide variety of dances. Many numbers used music from popular musicals or films. Tunes from A Chorus Line, The Wiz. and Pippin” inspired peppy dances, while Staying Alive from Saturday Night Fever” set the audience to snapping fingers and jiving along with the dancers. Car Wash” also proved to be a big hit. Donning trench coats and portraying double agents, the four male dancers earned prolonged applause in the boy-girl number. A more classical ballet number, choreographed by junior Dawn Martin, featured three dancers on toe shoes. Cowboys ambled across the stage in a western Franky and Johnny. Flappers from the 20's charlestoned. patriotic marchers paraded, and Ziegfeld girls slinked across the stage in a lavish finale. 24 CHARIS SHOW In keeping with the Old Fashioned style, junior Leslie Clark (below) taps in the Davenport Blues.

CHARIS SHOW 25 'Stock Market' gives show setting, color Crowds jammed the pool balcony May 11-13 to see the annual Penguin Show. The Stock Market, this year's theme, provided a dazzling array of numbers. The show opened on a whimsical note, as 10 seniors portrayed businessmen commuting into the city, engrossed in their copies of the Wall Street Journal. The multicolored float number was inspired by Technicolor stock. Three girls dressed as elves splashed their way through the pool in the humorous Keebler trio. The serious trio employed umbrellas as props for the Morton Salt” number. Ticker Tape” featured the traditional back dolphin chain. Junior penguins had the pool to themselves in the Hawaiian- styled Tropicana,” but joined forces with senior penguins in a patriotic rendition of Texaco.” The boys and girls boogied together in “Seeburg,” a number reminiscent of the 50's and named for the stock of the jukebox manufacturer. Performing the traditional senior head solo. Lori Seeman launched her own stock in the number, Lori Seemann. The finale, written by junior head Stacy Fleisher, was entitled Dow Jones Average and featured a reprise of each number. It brought the show to an exciting and resounding close.

It included a variety of other activities, which could not be classified and placed in specific categories. The Sixth Annual Pie Baking Contest, for instance, was part of Mr. Motyl's AP biology class. The aspiring scientists took a respite from their microscopes to see who could create the best cherry pie in honor of Washington’s birthday. Other courses also included special activities. Several hundred students exchanged vows in a Family Living marriage project. Mr. Benson acted as justice of the peace for the ceremony. 28 POTPOURRI Principal Robert Benson (far left) proudly per- forms his first Family Living wedding ceremony.

Highland Park Youth Committee members came to the school to provide information concerning such activities as skiing and mountain climbing. During the holidays. Key Club members went to Highland Park Hospital and the Senior Center to spread cheer in the form of singing and candy. Student Senate elections were held as usual in January. Voter turnout was un- usually high this year as one-fourth of the student body filled out a ballot in regula- tion voting booths. Only 17 percent voted last year. A variety of speakers came to HPHS during the year. Among them was Mr. Wally Nathan, a candidate for State Sen- ate. who discussed the ERA with history classes. Some new publications were born dur- ing the year. Froshline and the Soph News were published once a month as part of an experiment to involve under- 1st Wednesday, forensics plays showcase talent classmen in newspaper work. The Fine Arts Department again provided entertainment, as First Wednesday was continued this year on an irregular basis. The program is designed to showcase student talent on the first Wednesday of every month. It attracted small but devoted audiences. Students were also treated to art exhibits in the IMC. The PTO- sponsored shows featured artists from the area. As part of the forensics program, the Readers' Theater Brecht on Brecht and the contest play. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.” competed for district, sectional, and state honors in March. In addition to the actors, musical performing groups showed their talents.

Expand '78 features varied mini-courses familiar Christmas tunes, and the band played traditional holiday music at the annual Winter Concert. Planning for the three-day Expand '78. scheduled for April 11- 12-13, began in early November. A committee of faculty members and students worked to arrange mini- courses which replaced regular classes during the Expand periods. Students were treated to a variety of educational experiences not regularly offered. Disco- dancing and belly-dancing were popular, as were cooking classes. A member of the American Civil Liberties Union explained his organization's defense of the Nazis. In all. students could choose from over 200 courses and field trips.

Nothing characterized the HPHS athletic program and its participants better than the word “change.” Says Athletic Director John Scornavacco these changes are tangible — new sports and expanded levels of competition. Girls' interscholastic sports heads the list of changes. In Mr. Scorno's day. a girl had but two choices if she wanted to make it. She could try to be pretty and attractive to male jocks, or she could be a cheerleader. Now there are nine sports in which a girl can compete and prove her athletic prowess. Despite the relatively brief existence of girls’ competition, they've enjoyed a modest winning tradition, which represents a welcome change in recent HP athletic history. If the program continues in its present healthy direction, it should collect quite a bit of hardware for the trophy cases. In an effort to improve male records, boys' programs have become much more sophisticated. Consequently, the lads have had to become more dedicated to keep up with the competition. Sports have become a year- round proposition. For example, this winter Coach Troy told interested baseballers to work out before the season began unless they were out for another sport. Most of the swimmers go year-round in AAU competition, using two clubs — Deerfield’s Coho and the Lake Forest Swim Club. Many of the wrestlers attend summer camps or get together for local summer practices. Besides year-round training, better facilities both indoors and out have helped raise standards. Athletes use the Hercules machines to pump iron several times a week. The results of this intensive specialization is that jocks 36 SPORT’S FEATURE can only handle one or two sports. They haven’t got time for more. Not all changes have benefitted the athletic scene. Many kids are dropping athletics for work. The kids are getting jobs now. I know they aren’t poorer than when I went to school. I’m puzzled.” commented Coach Scorno. The total picture at HPHS — what does it look like? Is it the same scene Mr. Scorno and his peers experienced here? In his day. athletics dominated the view. Today we see them slipping into a different perspective. With new extracurricular activities and jobs, sports have come to be merely one of a number of alternatives. Basketball is one of the popular entries in the expanding girls' interscholastic program. Sue Erickson and JoAnn Gettleman polish their moves. Crowded facilities make for crazy practice schedules. Swimmers Cathy Shulman. Judy Wasscrman. Nancy Arenberg, Kim Knuth huddle at the gym door at 6:15 AM to be admitted for practice. Specializing athletes pump lots of iron. Foot- baller Bruce Cohen builds more muscle on the Hercules machine. , illi If Homecoming win takes gloom off dismal season Coach Jay Geerdes came into his soph year of coaching at HPHS with optimism. The season’s final record was puzzling, to say the least. Nothing fell into place for the gridders until Homecoming Day. The fired-up Giants resembled the team they were capable of being. They crushed Waukegan West 34-24 to provide fans with the season's sole victory. The Giants played in many a should have game, but came up short on each occasion. They lost narrowly to state finalist Deerfield 20-14 and to powerhouse Evanston 12-8. The team leader was Rob Nardini, voted the Giants MVP. 38 FOOTBALL Barking signals, junior quarterback Barry Levin (far left) takes a snap from center Bruce Cohen.

A solid 7-3 record in the duals is only one example of their fine work. The Giants turned in a scintillating first in the Niles West Invitational and posted thirds in two others. During the season they never placed lower than seventh in any meet or invitational. Coming into their own at the season's end, they won second in district, fourth in the sectional, and came home with a successful 14th in the state meet. As he had all year, senior Dave Giles overcame the pain of injury to finish 16th in Peoria, to pace the Giants. The sophs enjoyed an excellent season, finishing with an unblemished record and a tie for first in the league. CROSS COUNTRY 43 Varsity finish strong; frosh- sophs win 9 A torrid finish capped a 7-6 season for the 1977 varsity golf team. After disappointing losses in their first three meets, the shotmakers fought back by winning five of the next eight. In the Hersey district, they finished sixth, but just 12 strokes behind winning Barrington. Seniors Tom Lemback and Jim Pucin paced the varsity with strong scores throughout the season. The Giants finished fifth in the tough north division of the C$L. A highlight of the season was a four stroke victory over highly-rated Glenbrook South. The future looks bright as the frosh-soph posted an outstanding 9-2 season. Finishing 7th. 8th. and 10th, underclassmen Mike Berke. Chris Sweeney, and Mike Fiore led the junior Giants to a third place finish in the conference tournament.

Led on offense by senior Marc Solomon, the kickers high- lighted their season with an 8-0 Homecoming shutout over tough Waukegan West. We put it all together, great defense, terrific offense. It was our best game.” said Coach Roy. There were three all conference players on this year's squad: Marc Solomon, junior Gary Hillman and HP’s only All-State player senior Dan Nickow. Coach Roy was especially pleased by the leadership on this year’s club. Captains Solomon, Ron Cohen, and Paul Koplin were all effective leaders. Another bright spot was the play of sophs John and Joe Ori. Although they failed to make the state playoffs, Coach Roy is confident that next year’s team will be back and roaring to go.

The sophomore Giants, .coached by colorful ''Bear Mellonig, ended their season with a 5-3-3 record. The leading scorer was Ken Gorelik with ten goals. The frosh Giants fared almost as well, with both the A and B teams finishing with 4-4 records.

Because ISHA changed girls’ season to make Title IX happy, the team had to compete with volleyball for talent. Sue Simmons was the only senior who returned to play on this year's team. She was the team's captain. The inexperienced squad ran up against teams heavy with upperclassmen. As a result, they took lumps in a rebuilding year. As the season wore on, things got better. The season ended on a positive note, as the girls turned in their best perform- ance in losing the sectional 2-0 to Deerfield.

Their record was 6-8, with 3-4 in the CSL. Inconsistency proved to be our biggest problem, concluded the coach. The crusher was losing the first round of district to a much- improved Glenbrook South team. The best Giant performance came against Waukegan West. They lost an excruciating two-hour and forty- five minute contest by a total of seven points over three games. All agreed the stirring matchup could easily have gone either way. Juniors Sue Erickson and Jessica Horowitz were named to the All- Conference squad. JV’s put together a super 11-3 season that Coach Gledhill attributed to a great team spirit that produced a cooperative, winning attitude. The frosh again went undefeated, with a 13-0 mark and shutouts against New Trier West and Niles West. This is the second consecutive year in which Mr. Davis has coached the baby Giants to an umblemished season. 55 VARSITY: Row One: Barb Hankin. Jessica Horowitz. Lori Demain, Lisa Oemain.

Although the team's record was not impressive, individual records were. Senior Mike Lencioni broke Dom Poeta's career pin record by posting 41 pins. He also shattered Dave Giese's single season pin record. Mike set a new record for points, escapes, and fast pins. On two occasions, he downed his opponent in an incredible 12 seconds. Senior Tom Lembeck was not to be outdone. He set a record of 82 career wins. He also set new records for reversals — 42 for a season and 108 for career high.

With some good underclass material in the wings, Wisniewski looks forward to next year’s campaign. Coach Righeimer’s JV squads put together good seasons, both finishing third in their divisions despite the lack of heavyweight manpower. Coach Battista's frosh suffered many early losses because of some PE curriculum changes that denied the baby Giants an opportunity to pick up some pre-season wrestling experience.

WRESTLNG 59 Injuries, sickness contribute to poor season In a year plagued by injuries, the varsity Giants struggled to a 3-18 record. By season’s end five key players had been felled by injury or sickness at one time or another. Senior Joel Streicker, the catalyst guard of the Giants' floor strategy, suffered an injury but still managed to team with David Dodd for the team’s scoring lead. Gloomy as the record may look, it does not tell the whole story. The Giants lost three games to buzzer shots. Both Deerfield games were close, decided by the free throws which the cagers missed. The three victories, all in the conference, kept the Giants out of the cellar occupied by Niles East. Two of the wins came over Waukegan West. The regional was almost a xeroxed copy of the season. The Giants went down in a third tough defeat to Deerfield; 54-56.

They placed second in the Lake County Invitational, a memorable tournament because the gymnasts broke the 100 mark for the first time. They finished fifth in their conference division. Coach Roy looks for great things from junior Herman Moyano and Lee Buckman. Moyano led the team by finishing 20th in the state floor exercise. Coach Roy said that Buckman improved 200 percent over the season. In underclass gymnastics. Coach Wolters was proud of his freshmen and sophomores as both finished with good 4-6 records. He was especially proud of the determination displayed by frosh Robbie Mintz. Rob broke his thumb midseason, but he came to practice almost every day. doing everything possible to assure his comeback as mainstay of the freshmen. The sophomores were led by Larry Shubert and late season addition Greg Kline. They scored well on the vaulting horse. Body shortage hurts girls' swim season An undermanned girls' varsity swimming team took it on the chin this year, winning just three meets in a season that head coach Joann Heindel characterized as long.” Needing 25-30 swimmers to fill all lanes, the team finished the year with 15 swimmers. I don’t know why the girls didn't stay out. said Coach Heindel. One thing that hurt us was the change in seasons. The kids had to choose among swimming, basketball, and volleyball, tough choices to make. The lack of swimmer completely sank the jayvee season, as all available girls were mustered into the varsity ranks. Freshman Nancy Arenberg posted the best overall season, earning 160 points in various events. She was followed by another frosh, Katie Ronan, who earned 145 points in individual medley. Next came junior Betsy Seelig with 132 freestyle and fly points, and soph Adriana Yurko. who swam backstroke for 118 points.

Girls' softball, coached by Ms. Mett. is getting a late start practicing. The team hopes have been raised by the return of slugger senior Karen Heymann.

SPRING SPORTS 73 Then and now - learning is a continuing task As kindergarteners we have difficulty buttoning our winter coats — but we practice. In the early years of grammar school, we begin to realize that words communicate thoughts. We struggle to read Dick and Jane. Poetry, we believe, is Dr. Seuss. Continuing the learning process, we start to appreciate more advanced literature. Now. we study Shakespeare and Frost. Stories are different; but we still must struggle to understand. Constantly we are reminded thai learning is a complex, continuing task. Sometimes we take our knowledge for granted. We perform simple multiplication, for example, almost without thinking. We do not recall the hours spent back in second grade memorizing that 2x3 = 6 and 9 x 8 = 72. We’ve forgotten because our learning tasks now seem so much more difficult. Learning experiences now. however, are no more challenging. They are no more or less difficult than those encountered throughout our education. Learning the ABC’s was as difficult for us in grammar school as comprehending the nature of atomic particles is now. Our early experiences cannot be considered trivial. They are the foundation on which we continually build our store of knowledge. Explaining at the theart, toph Simone Barthel (left), attltted by Lita Rector, givet a demo tpecch on dog grooming. Independent media ttudent, tenlor Mark Levy (top) gett TV pointers from Mr. Altberg. Enrollment big in fundamentals course ‘‘I have a feeling a lot of things we're testing don’t matter,” remarked Dept. Chairman Mr. Grunska concerning the sophomore competency exams. According to Mr. Grunska. an artificial barrier exists between what is relevant and what is not. Therefore, the competency exam requirement was changed from an original expository essay to writing a letter of complaint, with, the goal of making the test closer to a student’s life, whether he goes to college or pursues a career. Designed for juniors who failed the sophomore competency exam, the new Language Fundamentals course offered seniors and juniors the opportunity to improve their skills in language study and composition. Forty juniors and seniors took two English courses in one semester. There are several advantages to semester elective courses, as opposed to simply one class in junior English and one for senior English. Students may double up to get four years of English in three, or graduate with five years of English. Junior Lisa Pickard (above) uses lab machinery to Improve her reading skills. Mr. Mellonlg (above right) leads a discussion of suffixes in the new language fundamentals course. ENGLISH 77 Turnstyle cuts book loss; quiet area created A change was made this year to put an end to the perennial problem of vandalism that made headlines last year — and it worked! Turnstyles and wooden barriers were installed to protect the reference and book shelves in the IMC’s lower area. The new security system blocked book theft and vandalism quite effectively. Before exiting the area, students are checked for books and materials belonging to the library. Vandalism has also greatly decreased in frequency and degree. As a result. IMC staffers were faced with a welcome problem, finding sufficient shelf space for all the books in stock. Another popular change was the creation of a quiet study area for students interested in heavy research and independent study. “Students who want to work in this area prefer the quiet atmosphere and its benefits to studying.” said IMC supervisor. Ms. Boesen. She feels the establishment of a quiet area was a long-needed, welcome change. The AV service continued to circulate films, tapes, records, film strips and the equipment on which to use them. In addition. Mr. Alsberg ran a series of classes for students interested in AV training. It was expected these trainees would be used to run equipment throughout the school.

That's the big goal this year. Survival!” joked Dept. Chairman Mr. Kroll. Contrary to this pessimistic statement, the department scheduled exciting field trips to French and Spanish restaurants. Italian classes attended the opera. The Barber of Seville.” on December 1 at the Lyric Opera House. Kelly Konchar. the Italian teacher, spoke at an Illinois Foreign Language Teachers Association convention in early November. Mrs. Sharon Weinberg, a new part-time first and second year Spanish teacher, along with the other first and second year Spanish teachers, spent the December 7 in-service attending a luncheon sponsored by McGraw-Hill, publishers of a new first and second year text. Teachers discussed the text with the author. Mr. Conrad Schmidt. Later in the day. cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were served. FOREIGN LANGUAGE 81 Staff changes, frosh program highlight year The HPHS counseling department witnessed staff changes this year. Ms. Sandy Hoeg replaced former counselor Dwight Austin, who took a one year leave of absence. Ms. Toni Strain moved to Delaware, and a new counselor was scheduled to be employed to fill her position. New techniques were used to provide more service to the freshmen. Counselors worked with Assistant Principal Miss Hartz and with APF teachers to develop a unique freshman counseling program. Counselors were often present in the APF classrooms to talk with the freshmen. In order to work more closely with upperclassmen, the counseling staff offered more career group sessions. James Alexander, college counselor, helped students, parents, and other counselors in the college selection process. He was elected to the Presidency of the National Association of College Admission Counselors. The Counseling Resource Center, housing all career, college, and curriculum materials, was frequently used. Dr. Hein remarked. It proved invaluable to both students and staff. 82 COUNSELING Senior Mary Saliba (far left) checks the CRC's vocational files. College- bound students (left) meet with Indiana University's rep.

Frosh get math skills tested in pilot project Instituting a pilot program, the math department administered a competency test to all freshmen. The mandatory two-part test measured basic computational skills as well as application of math. The math department administered the test only to ascertain that each freshman has some knowledge of rudimentary math skills. Unlike the results of the English competency test, the math test results were not recorded on the students’ transcripts. Impetus for the pilot competency program came from a national trend for accountability for basic skills, according to department chairman. Larry Brotzman. The idea was first suggested in the 1976 District Plan for Improvement, a document written annually by faculty, students, and parents in order to improve educational instruction. In future years, the math competency test may become a graduation requirement, according to Mr. Brotzman. That’s all right. grinned one freshman. The test is really not that tough.

In a compliance move one year ahead of schedule, boys and girls took PE together. Reaction to the change was mixed. The coed classes are good for only some of the activities we teach, like paddleball and tennis. In other activities the coed classes don’t seem to work as well. remarked Ms. Tank. Junior Susie Feit asserted, Coeducation seems pointless, because boys on the whole are more athletically-skilled than girls. Said chairman Davis. Coeducation is super. Students are being physically educated in a sophisticated, versatile manner. The ‘challenge of the sexes' stimulated good competitive efforts and achievements. The program was enhanced by combining teachers into male-female teams. Traffic Safety remained unchanged, with students in the classroom and on the road.

New courses satisfy varied arts interests To satisfy a variety of interests, the Fine Arts Department offered several new courses this year. Camera buffs were given the chance to take a second semester of photography. In existence since only last year, photography has really caught on, doubling enrollment this year. Also new this year were mini courses in drama. These nine week courses focused on the art of mime and creative drama. Mini courses in set design and lighting were offered, but had to be dropped because enrollment proved insufficient. Another new drama course this year was a Advanced Study in the Arts. Taught by Mrs. Patterson, the course attracted serious actors who have completed traditional offerings. Remarked junior Bessie Spero. In advanced study, we take concepts learned in Beginning and Advanced Acting and apply them to more difficult material.” For less experienced actors, the ever- popular Beginning and Advanced courses remained a challenge. A larger arts staff was needed to conduct the new programs. Mr. Curtis Bean handled the photography and art history. Ms. Linda Gustafson came over from DHS to teach jewelry and ceramics, and Mr. Jim Gothard took over vocal music from Mr. Haberland, who moved over to the English Department. The Fine Arts Department contributed to the school and community cultural environment. Special Education takes care of special needs Special Ed again occupied its special niche within the school by providing alternative learning programs for those students with unique individual needs. The program was divided into three levels so that students could work at their own rate. A great number of courses were offered, including psychology, health, and accounting, as well as the more traditional courses. Although the courses were developed to cater to the particular needs of the individual, We basically tried to approximate what the other classes were doing, said Special Ed instructor, Carl Allen. All work is done on a contract system. Said one member of the program, It really does make you do more work. With this system I work harder and I get more done.” Many of the students in the program spend at least part of the day in a regular classroom. One upper- classman said, I’m taking a couple regular courses and I don't feel separate from outside people.

SPECIAL ED 91 Staff changes, testing program spice routine While Mr. Edwards returned from his sabbatical. Mr. Carmichael, the department chairman, took his sabbatical, leaving Mr. Motyl as the dept, chairman for the '77-78 school year. Other staff changes within the department included the addition of new part-time health teachers: Maggie Kaveny. Andy Knotek. and Coach Jimmy Wolter. HPHS served as a testing school for the ISIS program. Mr. Motyl described the ISIS program as an individualized approach to science, applied on a practical basis.” Heavily involved in Expand, the department scheduled outside speakers concerned with energy depletion and possible alternate sources. Individual teachers gave instruction in their hobbies. As usual. Mr. Eiseman's Ecology class went on field trips to identify ducks, while the AP Biology class went to the Evanston Hospital to learn about electron microscopy. Man-Made World classes kept busy dropping eggs out of windows and holding bridge-building contests. jjf kwKtv� Duckwatcher Junior Dede Plotkln (above) spots a Mallard to add to her Ecology class list.

SCIENCE 93 Staff changes, speakers, field trips vary year Faculty changed and courses and techniques remained the same in Social Studies. Mr. Pressley was new to economics and American history, and Ms. Kelly and Mr. Hayes taught AP courses for the first time. The department welcomed a variety of speakers, including the executive director of the Illinois ACLU. the local police department, the Attorney General’s office, the Lake County Board and Labor Unions. As in previous years, students enjoyed many field trips. Goetsch's history students travelled to Chicago's Federal Building to sit in on a mock jury trial. American history students went to the county building to get a taste of resolution- making. Some students observed the HP council in action, while Mr. Becker's classes prowled the Oriental Institute in January. Environmental Issues classes visited the city dump and sanitation department, and psychology and advanced behavior groups toured the state pen. Several students represented Malowi. an African state, while participating the Harvard Model UN. Ms. Wojtan accompanied the delegates to Boston. “That's always a big trip. remarked Mr. Becker, assistant department chairman.

SOCIAL STUDIES 95 LCAVC gives students job-like experience Building homes, planting trees, making movies- only a few of the activities that were available at the Lake County Area Vocational Center (LCAVC). newly opened this year. Located in Grayslake. the Center was open to juniors and seniors from seventeen participating high schools in Lake County. Students attended two-hour long sessions, each of which was offered three times a day. Most of the HPHS students seemed satisfied with the LCAVC programs, directed towards participation in actual or simulated job situations. Finding the equipment outstanding. Ralph Derose, one of the 121 HPHS students participating in the program, remarked. “They have more auto mechanics tools than some body shops. Mary Enstrom. also a junior, seemed equally impressed with the wide variety of cameras, darkrooms, and printing presses in her graphic communications class. By offering more extensive programs in certain areas of study. LCAVC helped fill in some of the gaps sometimes left by conventional education. Not all the students at LCAVC planned to enter their chosen careers immediately after graduation. Many planned to continue their study in college. Senior Joanne Bernardi. for example, will continue her health-related education at a nursing school. Junior Wayne Ross, who is helping to build a house as part of the building trades class, does not plan to go into the construction industry. Rather, he is “Gaining knowledge and skill by working with (his) hands. Practicing on a stenography machine, junior Peggy Zabel (top) per- fects her secretarial skills.

Ms. Norma Hammerberg. The other classes were filled as quickly as ever. she said with a happy smile. Two new teachers joined the AA staff: Cynthia Brandonisio in Business Ed and Joy Sadin. who taught business on a part-time basis. Ms. Brandonisio also doubled as assistant coach of the girls’ track team. As expected. Home Ec classes were popular and often crowded. Clothing Construction was enthusiastically attended by over forty-five students whose patience was necessary in the often crowded work areas. The child day-care program achieved positive results largely because the play equipment was kept in good repair. In May. an exhibit of cabinetry and metal works as well as pieces designed by Home Ec students was featured in the IMC gallery. Done by Applied Arts students, the works were examples of crafts completed in their courses. Those who viewed the exhibit were impressed by the creativity and quality of workmanship. Business Education courses enabled most students to fill their Consumer Ed requirement. Introduction to Business attracted numerous freshmen and sophomores, increasing their interest in other business-oriented programs. TH€ chmigirg PICTURE School organizations are no longer what they used to be. The day of the BMOC is long gone. A yearbook survey of 25 students from each of the four classes revealed that a majority of people could not name the heads of Penguins. Charis, or Student Senate. Neither could they identify editors of Giant and Shoreline. They didn’t know who directed Stunts. Apathy seems too easy a word for the cause of the seeming decline of school organizations. One reason, perhaps, is the unwillingness of some of the older teachers to continue sponsoring ciubs which they had directed for many years. Many of then are bored; some have lost their energy. Still others wish to channel their time into other school-related work. Looking at the student body, one sees other reasons for the decline of school organizations. Many potential club leaders are lost to work-study programs, such as HERO and senior option. Most of those students who are at work by 11:30 AM feel little inclination to return to school at 3:30. Many of these people cannot regulate their hours to accommodate an extra-curricular activity. Others feel that even if they could be there, they would find it hard to meet the demands of a job, an extracurricular activity, and home work as well. Still others simply don’t have the energy for any additional physical exertion after several hours of what could be very strenuous manual labor. As regards underclassmen, most of their schedules don’t allow them to get to a job until the hour when after-school activities are just starting. As college tuition costs continue to spiral, more students feel the need to work and share some of the burden of their post-high school education. Thus, the desire to get out of school early as possible is likely to be an unchanging trend. At present. 40 percent of the student body has some kind of job. Many students nowadays are more interested in doing their own thing, be it cartooning or sky- diving than in belonging to a school club. There is more individuality among students today than there was 15 years ago. when just about everyone felt compelled to join Boys' Club, Girls' Club, or HGA. all gone today. Within the school framework itself, there seems to be more flexibility. No longer is there one club to be a member of. Kids don’t see any organizations as being more prestigious than others. Certain groups do get more news coverage, but this may be attributed to the competitive nature of the organization - be it sports, drama, or forensics. This explains, as well, the decline of the Big Man on Campus. It is rather hard to be one, if one cannot distinguish which are the clubs to head. Students today see no difference in the importance” of band and a varsity team. Their basic attitude is whatever you're into, that’s cool. Organizations such as Garrick and Quill and Scroll have faded out because no one now feels the need to prove his acting or writing ability. As a reflection of dying school spirit the decline of organizations from their positions as vital cogs in high school life is somewhat disheartening, but surely the increased individuality and open-mindedness of the student body is welcomed by administrators and students alike. 100 ORGANIZATIONS FEATURE I A glimpse down nostalgia road at some organizations and activities that once were and are no longer: (top) class dances.

YEARBOOK 103 New look Shoreline gets new advisor A badly-needed facelift highlighted Volume 57 of Shoreline for the 1977-78 school year. After reviewing past cluttered, confused issues of the paper, editor Howard Witt and associate editor Burton Jablin decided a cleaner layout was necessary. Larger more frequent picture consolidated “Newshorts” column, and varied column sizes all improved the appearance; content was far from ignored. Occasionally irreverent sports stories and “Totally Irrelevant” comprise the entertaining bi-monthly issues. First-year Shoreline advisor. Mr. Ralph Cianchetti. divided his time between Giant and Shoreline, lending journalistic experience to the staff, providing a ready source of ideas for articles and pictures. An overwhelming response to Shoreline’s call for writers last fall prompted the creation of two small papers. Froshline and Sophline . These papers provided ideal training grounds for the future. 104 SHORELINE SHORELINE EDITORS: Row One: Brian Boorstein. Howard Witt. Melissa Mizel. Row Two: Cindy lencioni, Marty Bchn. Burton Jablin.

Cheerleaders governed by ISHAA rules Like the athletes for whom they led the cheers, this year cheerleaders had to abide by the rules of the Illinois High School Athletic Association. The reward was the varsity letter awarded at the end of each cheer season. Football cheerleaders got going early at summer camp to work up fresh routines to pep up fans. Soccer cheerleaders not only provided pep. but also fed the team in a submarine sandwich dinner at Captain Wendy Freeman’s. Senior apathy meant that the basketball cheer squad was all- junior. In a heavy season, the girls worked out twice a week. Said Coach Kadison. ’’The committment is a heavy one.” In January they switched with Pom-Pons and did a routine to the music of the Foreigners.

Penguin program mixes work, fun for 60 members Penguin remained popular as ever over 100 girls showed up for pre-school clinics and tryouts. 60 were around for the May show. Although the show was the big project of the year, nonwater events kept members happy. Penguin pals got all done up as ghosts and goblins and celebrated Halloween in a graveyard. The December Pick Dinner broke the suspense when heads Lori Seeman and Stacy Fleisher announced who had “flown up and who got what parts for the show. Penguins also sold candy at basketball games, entered a car in the Homecoming parade, enjoyed a Valentine Day bakeoff, and did nice things for Penguin Pals. The year climaxed with the May show, which used the stock market for a theme. PENGUINS 111 Charis Club enjoys dramatic WO percent growth Dramatically increased membership resulted in an active and energetic Charis '78 dance club. More than 45 girls danced in Charis this year, as compared to the 28 members last year. Many more juniors and seniors tried out than in past years, dispelling the notion that Charis is a club solely for underclassmen. Tryouts for Charis were held in October. Charis hopefuls demonstrated their talents by performing a complicated jazz routine and elementary ballet technique. In addition, each dancer performed an improvisational dance under the scrutinizing eyes of the judges, who were looking for creative and innovative dancers. More than 100 girls leaped, twisted and gyrated in an attempt to make the club. Those who did make Charis enjoyed many fun activities throughout the year. There were many Charis parties, where girls found out what numbers they were in for the Charis show. The Charis Chum party gave the members an opportunity to give a small gift to their Charis Chum. The birth of Charis Chums.” similiar to Penquin Pals, resulted in closer relationships between the members of the club. 112 CHARIS CHARIS: Row One: Mary Markey. Lisa Hunt. Laura Friend.

Nostalgia attracts 25; writers go to Stunts Nostalgia Club boasted a record membership of 25 students this year, more than twice that of previous years. Individual presentations were given throughout the year on topics ranging from comic books to silent movies. Famous radio shows, tapes, movies and TV shows from the 30’s. 40’s and 50’s were also popular. Stunt’s Creative Board consisted of 10 enthu- siastic members who met weekly all summer to produce original skits based on the theme. The City. Constant discussion and group work made every meeting productive and resulted in over 30 scripts from which 20 were selected for the show. Final corrections and cuts were made by Burton Jablin and Melissa Mizel. Other students with a talent for writing chan- neled their efforts into the Creative Writers' Work- shop. under the direction of Mr. Amberg. Mostly upperclassmen, the group of twenty met Monday and Wednesday nights weekly to create literary select- ions of prose, poetry, fiction and to compile the creative writing magazine formerly known as Oliphant. The idea is to bring in a larger variety of student’s styles, including personal writing and journalism articles.” says Mr. Amberg.

RIFLE CHESS ARCH-HIST 117 Computer Club processes 2,000 frosh programs Basically a service organization, the Computer Club processes the programs written by all mathematics students. The big push according to sponsor Goldberg, came with the freshmen Basic Computer Unit, when club members processed approximately 2.000 programs. Fund-raising was not a major concern for the club. However, they did sell old computer and attendance cards at the end of the year. Mr. Boyum spoke to the Science Club about oceanography. The club took field trips to the Botanic Gardens and discussed the possibility of going to Botavia. III., to observe a particle accelerator. The dollar dues paid by each member provided money for popcorn, which was popped over high temperature Bunsen burners. During the opening meetings of the Math Club, the probability theory was discussed in preparation for a field trip to Sportsman Park Race Track in Arlington Heights for a real-life math situation. Several members presented a discussion of the summer math program they attended at Indiana University. An unusually interesting program was the Fallacious Theorem Festival held in the fall. Members either researched math literature for unusual theorems, or created their own. These were presented to the group, who looked for flaws in the theorems. To date, no member has been guilty of illogical thinking. SCIENCE CLUB: Row One: Mark Wcrwath. Tim Murdoch. Lyle Salam. Mike Steuer. Tage Welindt. Jon Groner. Row Two: Louis Calmenson.

The eight frustrated students could not gain recognition for Zimbabwe as a country, and consequently could not vote. Nevertheless, the students regarded it as a positive experience. Varsity club became simply the “H” club this year. The main difference between the two clubs, according to senior Sue Simmons, president, is that “H” club has dropped the traditional fund- raising aspect of the varsity club. Instead, it provides social activities for athletes. In contrast with the changing H” club, the International club kept its tradition of a pot-luck dinner. Students and teachers munched on various international delights. New this year. Feedback was a gathering of radio enthusiasts who produced programs for broadcast on WVVX.

Students competed in such areas as dramatic duet acting, extemporaneous and radio speaking, readers' theater, original comedy, and orginal oration. Although the greater number of forensic events are for individuals. Coaches Kennedy and Miller strongly emphasized a team spirit. To that end. the door to I 200 stayed open to provide a place for working together and getting to know one another. The team hosted several tournaments. On November 12, HPHS was the scene for an individual events competition. A Student congress was held here on March 17-18. The Forensics season proved reasonably successful. Many locals were invited to compete in the prestigious Scottie Tournament of Champions, an annual event for first place winners. Lesle Kahn and Bessie Spero qualified for state in humorous duet.

The NHS tutoring program changed drastically, becoming completely computerized and affiliating itself with the counseling department. Over 100 students volunteered their time to spend with about three times as many fellow students who desired assistance in specific academic studies. Taking advantage of the remodeled cafeterias. NHS held several luncheon” meetings which were very popular with NHS members. Topics of discussion included NHS involvement with a student handbook for next fall and the nomination of candidates for a $1000 NHS scholarship. Students chosen for the award must perform exceptionally well in extracurriculars. as well as academics. NHS 129 HERO: Row One: Sheryl Berg. Sharon Jonas. Bonnie Capi- tani. Val Fontana.

Retailing, salesmanship, and advertising were aspects of business careers focused on in class. Inspired by area, state, and national competitive conventions held several times throughout the year. DE members sold cheese and sausage before Christmas to earn the funds necessary to hold their annual banquet. OE members concentrated on learning basic office skills such as typing and shorthand and also gained greater experience in the use of switchboard and transcription equipment through on-the-job training in many local offices. Jobs were assigned on the basis of experience and ability in office skills. HERO provided a wide variety of job opportunities related to personal services. Several students worked as nursery and grade school teachers, interior design apprentices, and food caterers, while others chose to work in health-oriented programs as medical and dental assistants. In class HERO members learned from each other as they prepped for statewide competition. Speakers, many of whom were HERO employers, added interest to the program.

Choraliers get new leader, new males Under the direction of Mr. James Gothard. new this year to HPHS, Choraliers did a successful job of recruiting male singers — 15 of them, the highest total in five years. Gothard came here from Indiana's Northwest High School, after undergraduate work at the University of Illinois and graduate work at Florida State University. About his men singers he gleefully commented. Chorus teachers at other schools have been really impressed by the number of men in Choraliers. Treble Clef is limited to females, with most of the membership drawn from freshmen and sophomores. They too experienced an increase in participation, growing to 45 members this year. According to Gothard. this overall rise in choral enrollment can be attributed to the new policy which will require students to take at least one semester of music to be eligible for the spring musical. Other performances were given by the talented vocalists. They sang for the junior highs in the fall, and combined with other area high schools for a spring exchange concert. Stage Band combined with other music groups to present the Winter Concert. Directed by Mr. Jordahl, Stage Band is a select group of 20 of the best jazz musicians at HPHS.

Several parties featuring Latin music and food were held in Latin Club this year to celebrate the Roman Holidays. Homemade pizza and an abundance of Latin conversation highlighted the dates. In March, the club held its annual Latin Banquet with a rewarding turnout of over 50 diners. Key Club became co-ed this year, a long-awaited change from its traditional all-male past. Thirteen devoted members comprised the community-school service club. Candy sales at 9 basketball games earned money for an inner-city school donation.

Over 100 new members were initiated at the annual spring party. ‘‘The frosh turnout was overwhelming.” beamed board member Ruth Zirn. New members made the club by earning 30 points by attending games, making confetti and buttons, and helping with fund raisers. “All in all. the spirit shown this year was super.” enthused president senior Julie Parmacek. Pom-Poners worked hard to make Homecoming a success. They arranged the car and float parade and entered three of the over 170 cars in the parade. Pom-Pon judged the parade, awarding top prize to the Senior float. This year, they took over hall decoration from Pep Club. “Pom Pon and Pep Club are trying to share more of the work this year,” remarked second year member and Pep Club board member, junior Sue Schramm. “Working together is more fun,” she added.

PTO, Dads' Club, VTP enrich program PTO continued to provide the school with its diversified services, although fund-raising was not as important as last year. The PTO calendar raised money which will be contributed to next year’s FOCUS-on-the-ARTS. For openers, several PTO volunteers organized the pre-school book sale and others combined their efforts to produce the monthly newsletter. Tours for incoming frosh and parents were hosted by PTO members as was the annual frosh mixer, held in October, to welcome over 75 freshmen who attended. Two faculty teas were also sponsored by the PTO. The Fine Arts Committee focused their views on the IMC gallery in which they arranged art exhibits ranging from posters to contemporary sculpture. The IMC housed the displays. Dads’ Club once again provided the Homecoming Book of Giants bringing in hundreds of dollars to the treasury and awarding a $50 prize to the lucky winner of the cover contest. Speakers, lecturers, and teachers supplied throughout the year were brought here by VTP. Included in those who offered their talents, interests, background and knowledge were rabbis, priests, and marriage counselors. DSAC consisted of about 5 students from HPHS and DHS who voiced their opinions and acted as an advisory committee to close central administration. 140 PTO DADS’ CLUB VTP DSAC ADS’ CLUB: Row One: Fred Caplan.

PTO DADS’ CLUB VTP DSAC 141 Are this year’s seniors like all the others, or are there qualities that make us distinctive that give us a special “class personality”? Assistant Principal Robert Asplund finds our outlook distinctive. “You’re one of the first classes to reflect the change in attitude from one of protest antiestablishment. You’re more cooperative, not less challenging or complacent, but your questioning process is more constructive. People five years ago would have ridiculed this. However, our freshman class adviser. Jay Amberg. thinks we expanded too much energy. Kids burn out here before they should.” Looking back on our freshman days. Mr. Amberg remembered that we were the first to hold the Valentine’s Day raffle for charity. “It was nice. For a change a class council was thinking of someone other than themselves. College Counselor Jim Alexander, on the other hand, finds us “more nervous than many other classes. You don’t want to make your own decisions; you want to be told the right answer.” Many faculty members discussed the specific talents of some of our outstanding fellow classmen. Athletic Director John Scornovacco found Barb Freeman. Cathy Morton, and Sue Simmons superior in their diverse athletic achievements, also Mike Wasserman. Rich Friedlin, David Giles, and Tom Lembeck. Foreign language department chairman William Kroll discussed leaders of a different sort. I think like Joel Streicker is a leader. He’s an independent thinker. Too many people do things to please others. He pleases himself. He talks about another senior who stands out in his mind. “If I had to pick out the happiest senior, I’d pick Nehama Dresner. She always has the nicest smile. It makes me feel good to see her. Drama chairman Barbara Patterson also discussed abilities. This year I saw strengths in areas I'd never seen before. This year's STUNTS was the best directed, best written, best musicked I’ve ever seen. Assistant Principal Shirley Hartz also finds more of a cohesiveness. You’re more broadly talented than people I’ve seen for a long time. She refers to a student leader meeting held earlier in the year, at which several seniors spoke: Burton Jablin, her assistant on senior option; Liz Schrayer. yearbook editor; Anne Kushen. class president; Brian Boorstein Student Senate president; and Melissa Mizel. Stunts director. I was particularly interested in showing the freshmen some leadership models. Ms. Hartz concludes. I think this has been a good year for the school and much credit is due to the kind of leadership we've had. You’re class has left its mark. Senior Executive Board: Row One: Liz Schrayer.

Call it what you like. Senior Option or Action Learning, the program is under fire. Designed to give them a chance to explore learning outside the confines of HPHS, seniors in the program are expected to spend at least 10 hours a week learning something useful. Last year’s North Central evaluation asserted that Option, born of the stormy 60’s has become an escape from the academic pressures of high school’s final year. One of the major NCA objections pointed out that students in the program receive no concrete evaluation of their performances that could prove meaningful to prospective employers. Other observers maintain that seniors on Option spend so much time out of school, they’re unable to give much attention to learning. Some faculty members lament that Option has led to the demise of a challenging senior curriculum. The program has its defenders. One senior said, “I like Option because I get to work, still be in school and have time to myself.” At any rate, the whole concept of the program is being questioned. Ms. Hartz revealed plans, to form a committee to study the program, not to kill it. but to weed out the detractions that have kept Senior Option from realizing its full potential as a legitimate learning alternative.

By Burton Jablin Most of us expect that our four years at Highland Park High School will prepare us to some degree for the future. This expectation, however, is not always of primary concern to us during our years of secondary education. As we prepare to graduate, we often forget this preparatory aspect of high school as we are confronted with a variety of absurd situations. Seldom do we pause to consider that seemingly ridiculous events can teach us something useful for later life. Following is a series of vignettes which describe typical Highland Park High School experiences. We can learn something from these tribulations, if we have the proper frame of mind. For example, self-scheduling teaches us that we must reconcile ourselves to the notion that we can not always obtain everything we want. . . I ran to the IMC, threw open the door and was rudely stopped by some- one asking to see my scheduling sheet. “Let me through!” I screamed. “I must see your schedule,” she persisted. “That’s right, the orange one. O.K. Now here are your period cards. Good luck.” I grabbed the cards and dashed for my counselor. Hello, Bur-” “Just sign it!” I interrupted. “Well, it looks like your first choice is just fine,” he smiled, signing my schedule with a magic marker. I made a bee-line for the English table and said, “Give me Palmer ninth.” The helper frowned, “I’m sorry, Palmer ninth is — ” It’s closed!” I hollered. “How can that be?” I just saw my counselor. He said it was open. It can’t be closed, it can’t.” “It’s not closed,” smiled the helper. “It’s at the other end of the table.” Thank God!” I exclaimed. Often we are denied what we con- sider necessities. A school ad- ministrator once explained how budget cutbacks help teach us that certain necessities are actually extravagances “Many people think that these budget cutbacks are the result of a lack of money. This cannot be farther from the truth. The school board has decided to make budget cuts in order to conform with the belief that students should be better prepared for later life. “For example, we’re getting rid of German. Now, German is a language. However, we in the United States speak English. By cutting German we don’t give our students the op- portunity to learn something which will be totally useless to them as adults. There are other languages, and in good time, these should go as well. “We are also considering doing away with the reading room. We feel that all of the familiar three R’s, reading, printing, and math, are equally im- portant. To give reading special treatment ignores the other R’s and does nothing but turn out kids who are great readers. But let me be the first to say that if you don’t know how to print or do division, you’re missing some of life’s great thrills.” These cutbacks sometimes seem like a raw deal for those affected by them, but all of us are bound to encounter some unfairness in life, as the casting of Stunts ’78 taught many . . . Stunts organizers decided to reserve 20 parts in the 54-member cast for students who were not friends of the director. “In this way,” said the show’s director, “nearly one-third of the cast will be total strangers to me.” In addition to reading and singing, all students who tried out for the show were required to state whether they were a friend or non-friend of the director. According to the director, the cast- ing procedure was designed to get more of the minority group — students who are not her friends — into the show. Friends of the director who were not cast are irate about the new system. They claim that it is reverse discrimination. One group member said, “We don’t see why we should be left out just because we’re friends of the director. If we’re better qualified, we should be cast.” The group has challenged the Stunts casting procedure in court. Our basic argument,” commented the friends’ lawyer, is that less qualified people were cast only because they are members of a minority group.” According to the director, “This is really a troublesome thing because we’re spending a large part of our budget on legal fees. Now we won’t be able to have any scenery.” The occassional lack of fairness in life causes some people to seek ways to beat the system. The IMC’s system for checking out books shows that some people will do anything to circumvent authority. . .

Prom was set for June 3. at the Sheraton North Inn in Northbrook. Once again, the turn-out to this exciting social event was expected to be over- whelming. Juniors channeled a major portion of their anxiety and effort into scoring well on PSATs. SATs, and ACTs.

Marc Boorstem. Jan Rubenstem. Adam Klugman. Mark Weinberg Leadership works to meet class needs The class of 1980 accomplished several feats that many could look up to in admiration. Looking forward to the opportunities for a spirit jug in the years ahead, the sophomore class was exuberant at the Homecoming pep rally. During the weekend festivities, their all-out effort to display true spirit was exemplified by the soph cheerleaders and players as well as those in the bleachers. Enthusiasm remained strong for the class which raised $50-$60 selling 190 blue-white Pom-pons Homecoming Friday and Saturday. A car decorated by the energetic sophs won honorable mention at the pep rally. By the end of October, the soph- omore treasury already contained $140. just $10 short of the total sum budgeted by the executive board. Mark Weinberg, class president, said that instead of channeling excessive effort into fund- raising projects, such as bakesales held in the past, he would like to see policies formed or revised to comply with the wants and needs of the student body. Any extra money the class earns will be donated to a charity selected by the Executive Board. The sophomore exec board members made up of an advisory staff of 5 regulars and 15-20 randomly chosen sophomores met often to keep in touch with their constituents. Mr. Frahm. faculty advisor, favored this method of operation be- cause the students co-operated and functioned as a totally representative body with many viewpoints. Tutoring was started early in the year and focused on aiding freshmen in the APF program. Mr. Frahm suggested that this attempt be made in conjunction with NHS. but Mark Weinberg hoped to do it with sophomores alone. “It's hard, at times, to achieve things like this. We can show involvement of the entire sophomore class. Soph- omores have a lot to offer, and we strive harder to make the right changes happen “ 184 SOPHOMORES Eng Theresa Holander Steve Hontgbcrg Paige Morton Cheryl Howard Robert Hum Matt Hutchens Rmenne Isaac Joel Isenstem Merle Jat n Linda Jacobs Peter Jacobs Nancy Jacobson Steve Jacobson Beth Jason Cathy Jaster Mary Beth Jenkins Chns Jem Shan Jotfe Robin Johnson Beth Joksenovic Larry Jonas Debbie Jones Roberta Kaatt Kim Kadison Beth Kahn Jam Kaiser man Marcey Kamei Peter Kjmn Beth Kaplan Jim Kaplan Mike Kaplan Nancy Kaplan Ken Kapim Joel Karm Amy Kassel J Kateh Beth Kaufman Steve Kaufman Paul Kaufman Steve Keats Greg Keetch Adam Kerman Caryn Kersch David Kesner Debtxe Klawans Greg Klen Matt Klen Laurie Kleinman Adam Klugman Scott Kohl Debby Kohn Stuart Kohn Marcia Kohlberg Roberta Kramer Sheryl KraviU Amy Knser Jeff Kroft Mark Krulewitch Karen Kushen Brenda ladm Vicky Umpert Kenny Laner David Lang Ann Lenski Andy La k Jim Learner Robert Learner Jim Lederer Larry Lee Paula Leeds Karen Lett Christine lenter April Lelb Chip Lens Lisa lenflni Charles lettvm Mary LeverK Bob Levm Michael Levm 188 SOPHOMORES Tutoring program started for freshman 8 th levme Greg Levme Ley Levy Tom levy Jamie lew Sarah Lews Mike lieber Usa lietoerman Peter lieberman Jube Light W e L AtJahi Mark Lmn L'U Lipman Shari lipschuitz Peter lipsey Matcokn LitowiU Jube I0 6 8r tt lotsott Susan Lubeck Tom Lubm Tammy Lucas Jett Lyons Tammy MaOsoo Karen Magid Enjoying their freedom to leave school during lunch periods, sophs Joe Ori, Hollis Charles and frosh Ethan Chase take advantage by going to McDonalds.
