THE GRAINS OF TIME KOUGAR PRIDE Kankakee Valley High School Wheatfield, IN Volume 6 23 i Up, Up and Away On the night of May 1 , 1976, the Jr. -Sr. Prom was held at Halleck Center, St. Joe ' s in Rennsselaer. Mrs. Womelsdorff chose Up, Up, and Away for the theme. A banquet was held before the dance. Chicken, green beans, corn, baked potatoes and tossed salad were served. There was chocolate cream pie for desert. The candle- lit tables were trimmed with angel hair. United Sound provided the music.

This was the last time these four grades met together. Stu- dents eagerly applauded for their friends who re- ceived awards.

Clocks of many DeMotte area residents stopped at approximately 10 minutes until two last Friday as a late winter storm, brought on by warm spring-like temperatures, spawned deadly tornadoes, one of which ravaged through the Roselawn-DeMotte area. In the aftermath of the tornado, two persons were killed, at least 11 injured, and dozens of homes and businesses were either destroyed or damaged. The tornado began its destructive path near Lake Village and traveled across northern Newton County tearing apart homes and uprooting trees along its way. Red Cross reported 14 homes completely destroyed in Newton County and many more damaged. The tornado found mobile homes and trailers easy prey. At least 11 mobile homes were destroyed in Newton County. At Pioneer Campground between Lake Village and Roselawn a reported 25 trailers were destroyed, and another 15 were destroyed at Ponderosa Country Club, with many more damaged The storm also slammed into Naked City nudist camp near Roselawn, apparently causing damagp there, also. Students of Lincoln Elementa ry School were rounded up into the hallways. Walls of the school were said to have “vibrated,” but only minor damage was caused. The storm continued on its path, crossing over Interstate 65, where it turned over three semi-trailer trucks and stopped traffic for at least an hour on the highway. A WJCK radio employee reported that his car was picked up, turned around, and left facing in the opposite direction. The twister then entered Jasper County and caused considerable damage near the DeMotte-Thayer Road. From there it headed on a path toward the north side of DeMotte. The most heavily concentrated damage from the tornado occurred in the north end of DeMotte The wind slashed into the DeMotte Airport flattening the hangar and tossed around several of the planes. At least one ended up several hundred feet away. Four or five airplanes were destroyed by the tornado and other damaged The tornado then cut a path through Prospect Hill subdivision, crossed US 231,. (Hallect St.) just north of the Hillside Shopping Center, and continued northeast where it finally passed near the junction of 1400N and 700W A line of recently built brick homes in the west end of Prospect Hill were extensively damaged. DeMotte Town Marshal Carl Koch estimated that four or five homes were completely destroyed, but many others received severe damage Many homes were shaved off at the roof level and garages collapsed on family cars. In some cases, walls were blown in, and debris was scattered everywhere. About 20 homes were damaged in that area alone. The tornado then moved toward the north section of Prospect Hill, where it downed trees everywhere and caused some home damage, but damage was less severe than in the western section of the subdivision. Radar’s Standard Station and Barbara’s Laundromat were in the path of the tornado. Radar’s was completely destroyed, with much of the building thrown across the street, and Barbara’s Laundromat had a large section of its north wall taken out and some other damage. Prospect Auto Supply to the south also had roof damage. Skipping across the street, the storm slammed into Moolenaar Floral and Garden Center, taking out one wall there and bashing in the front of the store Most of the merchandise inside the store was also destroyed, and a tree in the parking lot fell on the car of a passing motorist who had stopped to take refuge. The storm then leveled a barn at the nearby Sidney Van Schepen residence and damaged parts of that home, then continued its northeasterly direction causing pockets of damage here and there before leaving the area. Remarkably, with all the damage, no one in the town of DeMotte was injured and Red Cross reported only one injury in Jasper County. Newton County was less fortunate with two deaths and 10 injuries, that’s still a low figure considering the destruction. Killed in the storm were Mary Rahmoeller, 83, of rural DeMotte, and Gilbert Cain, 70, of Momence, 111., who died of a heart attack while visiting a son in Lake Village Within minutes after the disaster, police, fire departments, and other groups from surrounding communities streamed into the area with help. Volunteers quickly sealed off the damaged areas and rerouted US 231 traffic. Hardest hit areas of Prospect Hill subdivision were sealed off through Sunday to all but residents and volunteers Besides the other injuries, a REACT worker from Lowell was injured Friday night when he was hit by a car along US 231 . He suffered a broken leg and contusions in the accident. Base of operations at DeMotte was in the United Methodist Church, while other churches and homes were opened up to sleep those left homeless. The Methodist Church stayed open all night Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to aid victims and provide a place for volunteers to rest. Meals served at the church averaged about 100 in attendance with an endless amount of people being served Friday night. A number of businesses in, and even out of DeMotte donated time, food, and other items that were needed Local Red Cross units came Friday and Red Cross people from South Bend came Saturday, as soon as they were notified of the disaster. The Red Cross stayed in operation through Tuesday providing food, clothing, shelter and many other services to people hit by the storm. Local people praised the Red Cross for the organization thev brought and the massive help given. It was said that they did everything from setting up menues and buying food to be served at the church to purchasing paper plates, cleaning supplies, and gloves needed after the disaster. In addition, the Red Cross provided individual case workers for people who had been affected by the tornado in order to find out what was needed and how those needs might be obtained. According to Red Cross statistics, direct assistance by their organization in Jasper and Newton counties amounted to $7,500 as of Monday night. That figure was expected to grow to an estimated $15,000, however, when all expenses are finally made. Red Cross headquarters were closed up Tuesday, but a worker will be back in the area Monday, March 22, to give any more assistance that is needed. He plans to be located at the Methodist Church 10 a m. to noon Monday and at theThayer Fire Station 1-3 p.m. In all, the Red Cross declared 15 families in Jasper County eligjble for assistance and 52 families in Newton County eligible. Workers for the Red Cross stressed that their assistance is absolutely without charge. Anyone who would like to contribute to a fund for the American Red Cross may do so aTthe DeMotte State Bank. State Representative Walt Roorda contacted Governor Otis Bowen Saturday asking that the area be declared a disaster area, and the governor has signed a proclamation seeking a Presidential disaster declaration which would provide federal assistance to Jasper, Newton, Lake, LaPorte, Marshall, Porter, Starke, and Wayne counties. A decision on that was not available at press time, but state disaster officials have conducted damage estimates in i.hese counties and believe that the level of damage is sufficient to justify federal action. Second District Congressman Floyd Fithian visited the area Saturday and U S. Senator Vance Hartke was scheduled to tour the damaged areas Wednesday afternoon. For those who suffered damage from the tornado, Walt Drees, DeMotte public accountant, advises that they keep a record of losses for income tax purposes Anything which was uninsured is tax deductible. Also, if the area is declared a disaster area, people will be eligible to make application to 6 the Internal Revenue Service to permit their losses to be deductions on their 1975 returns. If their return has already been filed, they would have an option of filing an amended return or waiting to declare the losses until next year DeMotte Town Marshal Carl Koch and the DeMotte Police Department would like to thank all assisting agen es in the disaster that occurred in DeMotte last weekend Marshal Koch said that he would also like to explain to the town the reasons that several groups of people and vehicles not from the area were in DeMotte. He said that these people provided security service and also brought with them equipment which was utilized in restoring normal service to the community. Koch said that they did have a problem with sightseers, but that no looting was reported. The Marshal said that all in all, he thinks that the results of the assistance from outside groups was evident. “I for one, with the police department, thank them for their assistance, which was greatly needed and appreciated,” he said.

The Kougars second game, however, did not prove so successful; they were de- feated by Lowell. Saturday night Hebron took the Champ- ionship after their battle with Lowell. ‘mi Kougars Shine in First Game; Slide in Second. 9 10 ACTIVITIES 11 Registration Creates a Hectic Start Registration was, as always, a little on the hectic side. Although the faculty had the schedule well organized, students wandered in; some confused and some anxious to just get it over with. The days were long for those who registered the students, but when the last student walked out the doors and there was once again a hush in the building, everyone heaved a sigh of exhaustion and, yes, relief that all had gone as planned and that the new year was ready to begin.

Some good sounds from the music industry were brought to us by Conglomeration and Chuck Bisset. Mr. T. proved the point that the hand is quicker than the eye. Mrs. Gibbs kept the audience ' s attention with her stories and beautiful sand paintings. The Gilbertos, a family of gymnasts, grew many ooh ' s and ah ' s from the stu- dents. The convocations were well liked by many students and proved to be a good change from the regular class hour. Go Out and Break a Leg ! The Drama Club and Director Carol Womelsdroff presented KV with two well acted plays in 1975-1976. Ten Little Indians , a mystery by Agatha Christie, was put on during the fall. The story saw eleven people on an island with no outside communication. They saw each other being killed one by one. Each murder mysteriously matched the poem Ten Little Indians . With three people left, the killer gave it away and lost his own life, only to leave the other two to live happily ever after. In the spring The Imaginary Invalid by Moierrewas staged . The play saw an old hypochondriac trying to marry his daughter to a doctor for his own help . The daughter wished to marry another man whom she loved. It ends with the old man becoming a doctor himself and the daughter marrying the man she loves. 18 Ten Little Indians Mrs. Roger Mr. Roger Marston Gen McKinntey . . .

The morale of the athletes was raised as each of them came forward to collect awards for the season. A long, hard season was over once again. Students Flip Out on Movies Music In 75-76 entertainment was easily found, even if you couldn ' t afford to go out. An over abundance of records, concerts, and movies were al- ways there. Students rushed to hear boogi sounds over their steros and radios. Music brought out sou and led newcomers such as Bruce Springsteen , Bay City Rollers and Capt. and Tennille 1 ' to stardom. Favor- ites, however, like Aero- smith, BTO, and Elton John stayed at the top. Live per- formances proved to be fan- tastic as many students heade to Chicago for concerts by Three Dog Night , Jethro Tull , and Kiss . Washingtc Park filled as Summer of Stars presented a couple of concerts a week . Stero listeners found an array of albums. Elton John ' s Greatest Hits and Aero- smith ' s Toys in the Attic were top sellers along with ZZ Top ' s Fandango and Kiss Alive . Top radio songs were Love Will Keep Us Together Fame , Philadelphia Free- dom , and One of These Nights . The flicks drew big crowds. Even non-movie buffs were lured by Jaws , Dog Day Afternoon , Lucky Lady , and The Eiger Sanction . Quality films like Deliver- ance , Jeremiah Johnson , and The Godfather were viewed on TV. Fonzie and Horshack kept students glued to the TV to see Happy Days and Welcome Back Kotter . Baretta and Starsky and Hutch kept students legally at home on Wednesday nights. Midnight Special and Don Kirshner ' s Rock Concert fea- tured top rock groups. Entertainment was easily found in 75-76. 22 Realizing the Easy Times Not all time was spent studying, competing or participating. Those easy moments Kougars found provided the periods that led to the next en- deavor. Students, faculty and families experienced community scenes, the out of doors and each other. Easy living seemed to be the common denominator enjoyed by all. (A.) Just a little shopping (B) Snap one back. (C) Maybe a break will help. (D) Enjoying a quiet moment. (E) Once more through town (F) A little extra for lunch (G) What did I forget? (H) The break that refreshes (I) Meet the new Hamstra. Happy Birthday America A big thing to remember about 1976 is that it brought to us the birthday of our country. For 200 years people have lived in the United States as free in- dividuals. Throughout the glory times and the discour- aging times Americans have united. Many festivals were brought about to celebrate our past 200 year history . In April, 75, DeMotte, Wheat- field, Virgie, and Tefft citi- zens kicked off the bicentennial celebration with Paul Revere rides. In June, 75, Kougar Kountry saw a reinactment of a pioneer landing at Dunn ' s Bridge. In August, 75, the Arts Council sponsored a Variety production. In May, 76, Kougar Kountry participated in a Heritage Fest- ival. 26 (A.) Fife and Drum Corp. (B.) A ride in the Old Buick. (C.) Mr. Woods gives address. (D.) Dunes Landing. (E.) Goldie Grube. (F.) Bicentennial Bail. F ACADEMICS 29 Artist in Residence Harriet Rex Smith, a famous artist from Valpo. , came to our school and displayed her paintings in our library. Mrs. Smith presented KV with a mural, a scene of wild flowers, which she painted while at KV. Mrs. Smith ' s influence inspired a greater interest in art. The student body showed their interest by signing up for art classes, which became over-crowded. The office solved the problem of overcrowded art classes by dividing the quarter in half, sending students to study hall for four and a half weeks . 30 Fine Arts Creates New Courses Symphonic Band students brought a petition to Mr. Ryska stating that after being in band or chorus for six years, they were unable to receive a major in Fine Arts. To resolve the situa- tion, a theory class was instituted third auarter. Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Hcuer ' s classes were on an indepen- dent basis. They graded on the number, the quality, and design of the student ' s projects. (A.) Symphonic Band practices for Spring Concert and contest. (B.) Doris Myers (C.) Jeanne Heuer (D.)

Lackolimbs sharpens his pencil. 37 Literature Courses Gain Popularity Classes like Spooks and Odd- ities abounded in the English Department. While teachers enjoyed the variety of the program, they questioned the writing and reading skills of KV students. The depart- ment instituted testing of basic skills in the Spring to channel students into classes to stregthen these areas. A heavy demand on popular literature courses created large classes. The depart- ment advocated more required classes and a sound academic program. (A.) Vera I Hanger, (B.) Mollie Gregory, (C.) Carole Womelsdorf, English Dept, head, (D.) Judy Dun- can, (E.)

Trips were taken to the State Legislature and to the Superior Court in Gary . The courses were much the same in the 1974-75 school year except Revolu- tionary War and Colonization were combined. The students were satisfied with the choice of classes. (A.) Thomas Bolka, (B.) Brenda, Lynn and Jim study Am. History. (C.) Larry Sakel (D.) Robert Leyvis, (E.) Robert Nimtz (F.) Roland Martin (G.) J. D. Foster (H.) Mr. Lewis explains legislative process. AV Library Continue to Assist Faculty and Students The AV Department gained a new director, Mr. Hartzler. Struggling with a new school and different situations, Mr. Hartzler quickly settled in. As the year progressed, he could be found eager to assist faculty and students. The library continued to be one of the best used areas of KV. Miss Smith assisted students and teachers in research projects . TS (A) First Sem. Library Assistants: (Standing L. to R.) R.

He came to the rescue of the guidance department and helped with overcrowded classes. In doing this he made more personal contact with students. Students knew him to be lighthearted yet firm when it came to important decision making . Mr. Wayne Crawford, as- sistant principal , sche- duled after school activi- ties, supervised extra- curricular events, planned field trip days and as- sisted Mr. Ryska with the handling of disciplinary problems. Mr. Crawford disposed of the problem of overcrowded meetings and conflicts of student activities. He created the Weekly Activi- ty Calendar which listed the events that took place in a particular week. 2 Middle School Plans Made. Pressures and balancing the budget kept Mr. Scam- ihom from visiting and su- pervising corporation schools. Heavy snows created unique pressure and frus- tration. Extreme accumla- tion of snow and drifting brought hazardous driving conditions. Mr. Scamihom cancelled school to insure student safety. Over- crowded classes led to plans for a middle school. The school board, along with Mr. Scamihorn, ap- proved plans for a new school in February. Ground breaking was hopefully set for early spring . Each quarter popular classes filled quickly leav- ing many students with conflicts. The harried guidance staff juggled classes and students. An addition to the staff, Mr. Rich, lightened the individual load. He sched- uled and counselled the 10th grade and also taught history classes. (A.) Wayne Ryska, principal, (B.)

Many students used it as a napping period or catch up on the gossip class. Some students, having study hall, became assist- ants. A few used their time wisely by doing unfin- ished homework. Students, who distrubted classes and really gave their teachers a hard time, were sent to study hall. Mr. Melton, hired to watch study hall, felt his job was to keep those students who didn ' t want to study from bothering the students who did Academic time filled class- room activity by studying, discussing, learning through passing notes, whispering, and the little things that made each day more enjoy- able. Passing through Academics, we, the grains of sand, took our first step towards an unknown destiny. 44 K.V. Scenes of Time in Motion (A.) Students dismissed early due to heavy snow. (B.)

Kougars turned in their first winning season in K.V. hi story with a 10-5 record. Junior, Don Dutt- linger came in first place for us in every meet that he ran. During his winning streak, he broke the pre- vious school record of 13:45 and proceeded to better his own time on two occassions ending with a 13:07 time. Though he didn ' t break the new school record, Ken Foster bet- tered the previous school record with a 13:29 . Improvement was due to the 500 mile run that three of the boys ran over the summer, improving their speed by at least 1 minute. This was in addi- tion to their daily workout and 5-10 mile runs over our rough Kougar Country. The runners turned in con- sistantly faster time over the 2 1 2 mile course. Eight members received their major letters: Bob Cheever, Mark Lagaveen, Barry Mason, Don Dutt- linger, Ken Foster, J . R . Gross, Rusty Pierce, and Steve Zylstra. Most valuable runner was Don Duttlinger, Rusty Pierce was most improved runner, Dave Hamstra was honored as Mr. Guts , and Steve Zylstra was Rookie of the year. Our finishes in invitation- als and sectionals were better than ever before. Coach Tom Risinger is looking for an even better year for the 76-77 sea- son.

It put together a variety of desire, hustle, and pride to come away with its third sectional cham- pionship, a second place in the conference, plus having five all-conference representatives: Jackie Kingma, Kim Watt, Cindy Schoon, Jill Blasczczyk, Tara Nesius; along with coach of the year. Sue Pantos. Despi-te having only one returning major award win- ner, the Spikers compiled an 18-11 season record. Next year the Spikers will be striving for an unde- feated season, conference championship, and another sectional championship to be followed by a regional victory, states Coach Pantos.

However, the next two opponents were not as kind to the Kougars. We were defeated in the closing minute by conference rivals, Rens- selaer, 7-0. On the follow- ing Friday, KV lost another close one to Knox 18-14. The season brightened for the Kougars with a defeat of one of the top teams in the conference, North New- ton, 26-18. Disaster struck in the form of Tom Renn and his Lowell com- panions. Kougars were massacred by the score of 56-0. The following week the Kougars bounced back to defeat Winamac, 20-6. This, unfortunately, proved to be the Kougar ' s final victory of the season. In the following weeks the Kougars could manage only 12 points in four games, suffering losses to East Gary, 32-6, North Jud- son, 20-0, Twin Lakes, 29-6, and finally West Central, 16-0, to end the season. 52 ROW 1: D.

The first 7 games proved to be a learning time, learning the embarrassment of being blown out of the gym, the disappoint- ment of being defeated in the closing seconds, and the en- joyment of winning a thriller. The excitement built; midway through the season the Kougars were to meet 2 undefeated teams in the Holiday Tourney. K.V. knocked East Gary from the rank of the undefeated by a 66-64 score, setting the stage for the championship game between K.V. and Lake Central . After a well fought game, the Kougars were downed 75-62 . Disappointment came with 8 straight losses and the loss of Coach Helms, following his resignation. The Kougars rose to the chal- lenge, aided by their new coach, Miiller, winning 3 out of their last 4 games . At Sectional time, the Kou- gars ' first opponent was to be a scrappy Kouts ball club. The ball game was a closely con- tested battle, with the Kougars prevailing in a 79-68 victory. The next opponent, Lowell ' s Red Devils, jumped to an early second quarter lead. After staging many exciting come- backs, time ran out for the Kougars as they were defeated, 63-60, to end the season.

Varsity Cheerleaders: TOP: Sheryl Sullivan, JoAnn Polomchack, Donna King, BOTTOM: Denise DeGraff, Debbie Thompson, Marcia Richards. 55 le team consisted of 4 outstanding shooters; Derek Banerth, Ron Joseph, Craig Froman, and Dennis Seegers. The team ' s strength was produced by Danny Myers, Harvey Kam- penga, Jerry Furst, and Scott Greene. Joseph and Jason Spurgeon were the team ' s leaders in assists. They were backed up by Tim Blaszczk, Dean Wilson, and Curt Schoon who saw limited but enthusiastic ac- tion. In spite of their strength and ability, theJ.V. were un- able to maintain their strong pace. This, unfortunately, resulted in a rather unsuc- cessful but enjoyable sea- son. Kankakee Valley ' s first year of having a C team was quite an experience. They were a group of talented players, but they were unable to win any of their 7 ballgames. It could probably be said that the highlight of this season was being snowed in at Frontier. The Varsity, the J.V. , and the cheer- leaders were forced to stay in a motel for the somewhat sleepless night on December 20 . if ' 24 I V - -n J.V.

ANOTHER SECTIONAL VICTORY In the first year of basketball under head coach, Ron Hine, the Kougar girls had a remark- able season, with a 12-3 record . At the outset of the season, the girls posted rather easy wins over their first 6 op- ponents. In their first tourney they took a perfect 6-0 record to North Newton. North Judson ' s Blue Jays were their defeat by the score of 38-27. That loss sparked the girls to walk away with 3 more wins, leading to another tourney . Again disaster struck at the North West Hoosier Conference Tournament, as the girls were downed in their second tour- ney. They rallied to defeat West Central and had their thoughts focused on the Sectional . Sectional proved to be the girls ' highlight. They faced a tough Kouts team in the first game and defeated them 51- 48 . The victory put the Kou- gars in the final game. They displayed remarkable skills and were able to manhandle Morgan Township for the Sectional crown. From Sectional, it was on to Regional where the girls met Michigan City Rogers. After a very bad start, they fought back to play a respectable game. Unfortunately, they lost, 52-39, to close the season. Varsity Team: Coach Hine, C. VanKepple, C. Schoon, V. ' Robbins, C.

Grap- plers came through with an- other outstanding year. Not only did they produce a 6-3 season record, but for the first time the Grapplers took a Sectional victory and had a representative to go all the way to state. Needless to say, the team had many good wrestlers. Sectional wins were taken by Jim Barrera, Darren Wil- liamson, Dan Willoughby, and Jeff McDaniel. Second places were taken by Gary Conley, Tim Kearney, John Smith, and Ted Ritchie. Conference championships were won by Dan Willoughby and Darren Williamson. Wil- liamson also acquired the regional trophy in his weight class, runner-up in semi- state, and represented Kankakee Valley at the State Tournament. He was also victorious over East Gary. The Junior Varsity wrestling season proved to be a learn- ing season, coming up with a - record. Four young mem- bers took some firsts at the Rensselaer Invitational Championship. Coach Nimtz and Coach Tibbie were to be commend- ed for the outstanding sea- sons. Varsity Wrestlers: ROW 1: J. Barrera, T. Kearney, J. Smitn, G. Conley, J. McDaniel, D. Ber, Manager R. Jones.

Their enthusiasm, hard work, and long practice gave them a 7-8 season record. The team as a whole some- times couldn ' t get it togeth- er, suffering some close de- feats. Defeat didn ' t bother 3 of the boys, though, who broke school records. For them it was victory together with a sense of accomplish- ment, respect and most of all pride. Pole vaulting was Dave Cavinder ' s speciality, setting a record high of 11 ' 2 Don Duttlinger set a new school record for the 2 mile at 10:14. Jim Wallace set records in the 880 and long jump at 2:05 and 19 ' 5 respectively. The girls Varsity track team, like the other girls athletics this year, gave K.V. another winning season record. The girls really hustled, breaking 3 records, sending 12 girls to the sectional and 3 to the regional. Kim Watt broke a record in softball throwing, Betty Mahieu and Tara Nesius broke records in the hurdles (Mahieu holds the record), and the 440 relay team broke records (Rhonda Sullivan, Dawn Jungles, Joy Kruizenga, and Sue Nuss). Placing at the sectional for K.V. were Cindy Schoon with a third in the high jump, Kim Watt with a second in the softball throw, and Jackie Kingma took a first in the long jump. These girls were another addition to the pride at Kankakee Valley. ROW 1: Blaszczyk, Meyers, Hefner, McQuade, Hoiseth, Laker Burnette, Morrison.

The outlook for KV baseball at the beginning of the season was very bright. KV was fortunate to have a good pitching staff, excellent outfield, and an ex- perienced infield. The team possessed everything a good team should have except a winning record. KV was capable of scoring runs as well as anyone would, as demonstrated by its 21-0 rout of Hebron. But KV ' s eight wins in the first twenty games were accounted for by its lack of the game winning hits and the game saving play. The 75-76 golf team had the best KV golf record ever, win- ning eleven of its twenty-one matches. KV had the honor of having 5 outstanding golfers: Pierson, Froman, Coffer, Till- ger, and Cardillo, who account- ed for the team ' s success. Jeff Pierson broke the school golf record with a 38 and pro- ceeded to break that record with a 35. The team displayed fine quality and victory was no surprise.

The staff took a field trip to the Gary Post Tribune, where they toured the building and watched a newspaper in the making. To raise money to buy typewriters for the PUB- publications Room ads were sold. FTA met once a month and planned various activities. They planned to study teaching methods of various surrounding schools and to help members be- come teachers ' assistants. Al- though all goals were not met, they enjoyed a fairly success- ful year. Pathfinders was new to KV in 75-76 but seemed very popu- lar with the students. The prayer share group started with about 16 members and ended the year with over 60.

Sunshine Society, Kankakee Valley ' s largest organization, had a very active year spon- soring several activities. The sponsors, Mrs. Shirley Yoe- man and Mrs. Linda Lippert, were busy helping various communities to organize the many activities. One of the first activities was preparing and passing out sur- vival packages to the teachers. The packages contained Tic Tacs , gum, and aspirin to help the teachers to make it through the first few weeks of school . They also sponsored a pizza party for new members; a Halloween party -featuring a scary movie and pizza; the ever popular Christmas Dance; a Mother-Daughter Salad Bar; Daddy Date Nite; and the Ideal Lady Tea. For the first time Sunshine hosted a tea for the Alumni . Aside from parties and teas the SSS sold candy, pop, and pop corn at home football and bas- ketball games. They donated money to the Riel ly Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, bought flowers for sick members, helped to send members to camp, and Sunshiners attended the Sunshine Convention in Crawfordsville. 1976 marks the 75th anniversary for the SSS. Their continuous record of service is worthy of com- mendation. (A.) Nancy Jabaay and Alvin Hamstra have a good time at the Halloween Party. (B.) Couples dance to the music at the Christmas Dance.

The Band was very active this year presenting 3 major concerts, and support- ing several programs. A special highlight of this year ' s band was the Pom Pom corps. The girls added much to the march- ing band as did the flag corp. Special thanks to Mr. Scott, for his dedication, and to Sandy McCann for her 3 years as majorette. The Marching Band boosted team moral at football games, and the Pom Pom girls often performed routines at halftime. On their own, the various bands practiced daily in school and attended occasional extra practices.

Seniors become in- creasingly aware of the need to accept respon- sibi lities as 1975- 76 draws to a close. Gone are the carefree days when one did not need to worry about a job, or the future. Suddenly the unemploy- ment rate is a reality with which he must face. He wonders, Am I ready? Am I prepared? For most the answer is a re- sounding Y es! Anita Elaine Goetz Cindra S.

Kir- sten found life at KV exciting. She felt students at KV were extremely lucky to be offered a wide r.hoice of extracurricular activities . Although Kirsten disliked nothing about her American experience, she missed her home and family and looked forward to seeing them. OFFICERS HANDLE ADDED RESPONSIBILITIES Senior class of- ficers, along with the advisory coun- cil, made many extra decisions during 1975-76 . They made preli- minary selections of the cap and gown colors and the an- nouncement style. Other decisions were selections of the class motto, flower, and the colors. These were then approved by the entire class.

Just meeting graduation require- ments was painful for some. Others became involved in advanced classes and found themselves working harder. Some found it bor- ing, for they had finished their re- quirements early and were ready to be on their own.

1975-76 yearbook staff consisted of 14 members. Four of the 14 at tended a workshop at Quincy College for four days. Thirteen of the 14 were rookies, so the methods learned at Quincy were a big help in teaching the rest of the staff. The senior class contributed a great deal when their ad sales topped $3,000. Staff members put forth much time and energy, especially before a dead- line! Being on the staff meant staying after school, tracking down a missing cropper, hoping that pictures would be received on time, and staying up till 2:00 a.m. to write copy, if necessary. But somehow, someway, the deadline was met. A special thanks to Judy Duncan, our advisor, without whom, we would never have made it. Also, to our representative, Pat Linde- man, andA.V. director, Roger Hartzler. (A.) Donna King was in charge of the senior section. (B.) Joy Kruizenga, sports section, rereads copy. (C.) Linda Thompson was in charge of underclassmen section. (D.) Editor, Denise DeGraff and Assistant-Editor, Scott Froman, work on deciding layout design. (E.) Lorretta Martin, Rhonda Jones, and Karen Holtberg give our advisor, Mrs. Dun- can their undivided attention. (F.) Darrell Patton served as student photographer this year. (G.) Mrs. Duncan searches for the missing link for the final deadline. (H.) Ron Herring, our sports enthusiast, served us well as sports writer. Due to mid- term graduation or mis- understandings for scheduling of photos, the following are not pictured: Bonnie Ander- son, ads section; Donna Feleki, ads section; Jenny Long, organizations; and Debbie Campbell, ads sec- tion. Special thanks to the following who contributed photos: Roger Hartzler; K. V. Post; Illiana Spirit; and the Vidette Messenger. 146 148 THE LAST GRAINS ... 149 The Beginning The years seemingly raced by in the minds of the grads as they walked in the processional and took their places for the ceremony. Even-though high- school days were at an end, memories would last forever. The tears, laughter, hopes, fears, joy, regret, anxieties, and relief were all a part of that special day as the world wished 1976 graduates suc- cess and joy for the years ahead. This was the begin- ning . . . 150 (A.) Robin Darner and Larry Stubble- field attempt to keep their caps while walking to the football field. (B.)

To lose one ' s wealth is sad indeed, To lose one ' s health is more. To lose one ' soul is such a loss As no man can restore. The present only is our own; Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow. For the clock may then be still. Life ' s C loc k This is dedicated to the student body and the 1977 graduating class of Kankakee Valley High School and in loving memory of our dear friend, Harvey Kampenga whose tragic death has touched us all. One of Harv ' s last wishes was that he was living his life within the will of God. Harv ' s cheerful attitude and Christian testimony will long be re- membered by his many friends and companions. Harvey Alan Kampenga, 17, son of Henry and Bernadine Kampenga of Wheatfield, died Sunday, March 21, 1976, as a result of injuries sufferec in an autombile accident south of DeMotte. Harve was a lifetime resident of the area, a junior at KVHS, and a member of the First Reformed Churc and Youth Fellowship of DeMotte. 152
