Spir- it was high throughout the preceding weeks as students decorated halls and lockers, chose princesses and queen candidates, built and decorated class floats, and joined in a rousing pep ses- sion. The Homecoming game between the Kougars and Winamac appeared des- tined to be different from past years of football losses for the Kougars. The team had won the first two games of the season and had lost the next two by very narrow margins. Although the Kougars were plagued by injuries, hope was high and everyone ' s spirits were soaring for this could be the first Homecoming triumph in five years. Excited Kankakee Valley fans encour- aged the Kougars to play their best against their Winamac rival. A win could be revenge for past losses to this strong team. Kougars put up a good fight, but the final score was 33-6 in favor of the Warriors. Were the Kougars and their fans dis- couraged by this bit of bad luck? Of course not,” they said. We’ll beat them next year. Opposite Left: Junior Brian Morales watches intently from the sidelines after being benched for an injury.

The winners are announced the week before Home- coming. The candidates then choose an escort from their class. The fresh- man princess was Debbie Koster, es- corted by Darrin McGuire. The sopho- more class chose Penny McKinley who was escorted by Greg Hamstra. Repre- senting the junior class was Diane Duttlinger who was escorted by Matt Chapman. Four girls represented the senior class as Queen candidates. The winner is chosen by the football team and the announcement of the winner is made at half-time. Queen candidates and their senior escorts were Andrea Fra- zier and Jeff VanOort; Liz Hetrick and Don Hirsch; Dana Hogle and Tim Prohl; and Terri Sanders and Dave Grube. As the drill team formed a canopy of flags, the band played each candi- date’s special song as she and her es- cort entered the field. Assistant Super- intendent Wayne Ryska read personal data on each of the senior girls and then announced Terri Sanders as the 1979 Homecoming Queen. An elated Terri was crowned by Superintendent Paul Scamihorn. immTtnmitiiimimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiiimn in HOMECOMING 7 Homecoming Brightners Animated cartoons was the theme for the administration — sponsored float con- test. Each class chose a favorite charac- ter on which to base the theme of their float. The senior float made use of Popeye and his great strength. Fred Boissy played Po- peye in a boat-shaped float that displayed the slogan, Our Kougars Ate Their Spin- ach! To the dismay of the juniors, their float, decorated with red, white, and black, and ■ carrying the sloagan, Go For It!, never made it onto the field for competition. This caused the unfortunate juniors to come in in last place. The winning float was designed and deco- rated by the freshmen. A pastel rainbow in blues, greens, and pinks carried out the theme. They also used classmates to adorn the float. Mickey Mouse and Company was the ba- sis of the second place sophomore float. Participating classmates wore Mickey Mouse costumes and walked beside the float as it paraded around the field. The Marching Kougars and Drill Team provided music and routines during the float competition. They remained on the field for th announcement of the Queen and her court, playing special music cho- sen by the individual candidates. Left: Twirler Carrie Hittle waits for her baton to come down.

It’s the Girls’ Powder Puff Football game! Senior girls, under the guidance of Coach Rodney Sanders, spent two weeks preparing for their spar against the junior girls. Seniors had special reasons for wanting to defeat the ju- niors. They had lost to the mighty Sen- iors of ’79 when they were juniors. This would be the game for reprisal and the joy of victory! For almost three weeks the juniors were learning, practicing and memo- rizing the offensive and defensive strategies taught to them by coaches Ron Hummel and Mike Hendon. The game was September 27, a Thurs- day, instead of the traditional Wednes- day as church night had been moved to Wednesdays. During the school day, rivalry became apparent as each class tried to outdo the other in terms of who could scream the loudest and boast the longest on their chances of winning. The game finally started with Mr. Al- berts, Mr. Metzger, and Mr. Prochno officiating. Although the senior girls tried their best, they just couldn’t match the juniors’ expertise on the field. They reluctantly conceded the game to the juniors by a score of 14-6.

HOMECOMING 11 12 REGISTRATION + What A Way To End The Summer! You’re in the wrong line! I’ve got three study halls! Do you have a pencil? Lines and more lines and tables and more tables! Check the schedule, pick up the enrollment card, pay the dues and fees, get a parking sticker, buy the yearbook, get a picture taken. What class do you have second hour? Let’s share a locker. What a great tan! Students didn’t seem to mind the long lines or the long waits or the amount of money being spent. They were hap- py to see old friends, happy to catch up on the latest gossip, and happy (se- cretly) to be coming back to school. Only the harried parents were minding the lines and long waits. Only they knew that at the end of the final line when every form had been completed, every detail attended to, their check- ing accounts would be much, much lighter.

But individual- ism in executing the steps and rhy thm was apparent as the students adjusted the tempo to fit their own particular style. The Homecoming dance is the first big casual dance of the season, and the year culminates with the traditional Junior — Senior Prom, a formal af- fair. But between those two dances and the marking of the beginning and end of the school year, students have many opportunities to let themselves go on the dance floor.

DANCES 15 PEOPLEPEOPLE PEOPLEPEOP 16 PEOPLE LEPEOPLEPEOPLEPEOPLEPE FRESHMEN Show Spirit Freshmen had very few problems com- ing to KVHS for the 1979-80 school year. They didn’t have to worry about getting lost, not being able to find their classrooms, or the teachers be- ing unfamiliar because they had al- ready spent their 7th and half of their 8th grade years in the high school be- fore moving to the Middle School. The freshmen started the year with a spirit which lasted them to the end. This spirit had them winning most of the competition between classes, and they came out on top by having the most overall total percentage spirit points. In 1970 during the time this school was in its first year, the students who were freshmen now were then in kin- dergarten. They have come a long way during the past ten years and have grown both physically and mentally.

They have started to think about col- lege and to prepare themselves for life after graduation. Socially, most of them are just turn- ing 16, the time when they get their drivers’ licenses and the time when most are dating. This enables them to participate more fully in school activi- ties. Working together as a class, the sophomores spent many hours after school during Homecoming to deco- rate their locker area with brightly col- ored streamers and balloons. They constructed the winning float of pastel colors and a rainbow to carry out the “Over the Rainbow” theme. Sophomores who excel academically and who show leadership qualities can become members of National Honor Society. Sophomores can explore new fields of interest as more opportunities to expand their curiosities are available to them in class scheduling.

The next year they would be the upperclassmen, the ex- ample-setters. So they made their ju- nior year count. To start off the year, they sold $5452.90 worth of maga- zines and records to help finance the 1980 Junior-Senior Prom. The prom committee was composed of junior student council members Martha Har- ing, Dawn Boezeman, Bruce William- son, and Tucker Van Keppel; and ju- nior class officers Mitch VanKley, Matt Chapman, Kathy Boissy, and Janet Hoiseth. These people planned the prom and did the decorating. Also helping with the decorating were Mark Jones, Melvin VanKley, Tom Wallin, and Jay McCracken. Martha Haring was the chairperson of the prom com- mittee. At the Homecoming, the junior queen candidate Diane Duttlinger was escort- ed by Matt Chapman. Much work went into the float which bore the theme Go For It . Unfortunately, the float didn’t make it onto the field due to some mechanical difficulties.

STAFF 39 Teachers Trod The Boards At Arts Festival A Show to Remember” was written by Mrs. Doris Myers for the Kankakee Valley School Corporation faculty and was presented during the first night of the Kankakee Valley Arts Festival. The story of the presentation was as follows: A nation-wide talent search has been held in various sections of the mid-west. Winners are to perform in the television studio for a nation-wide broadcast. A live audi- ence is present to view the show. But the bus carrying the performers has broken down in a remote section of Jasper County, IN. Because the producer of the show insists the show must go on, talent is recruited off the streets. These people perform in Act I. In Act II, the bus finally arrives carrying the talent winners and they per- form for the audience. Act I cast members: Mr. Grab’em — Miss Luva Goodview — Announcer — Commercials — Janitors — Beauty Contest skit — Mr. Bones — Singing Trio — Cooky — Engineers — Cameramen — Cue director — Curtains — Act II talent: Quartet — Ragtime Piano — Instrumental trio — Solo — Duet — Piano and Voice — Tom Risinger Debi Hedges Dennis Metzger J.D.

We hope you will enjoy looking back at the people and the events which made this school year an important one for all of us. Use the book as a history book and a memory book, a book to re- live those events and friendships which affected our lives during those all-important days of a very special year. Thanks to Bob Henning, our representative from Josten’s, whose professionalism and interest in our book and our school is without question. Top: Cindy McKinney, a senior, was this year’s editor. Her experience consisted of four years on the high school staff and two on the junior high staff.

This daily two-hour business training program was supervised by Mrs. Dee Fritch, head of the business department. All seniors majoring in business were eligible for the program. Re- quirements for IOL included a com- pleted application form, comple- tion of seven quarters of typing by the end of the students’ senior year, four quarters of shorthand (for sec- retarial students) and enrollment in a fifth, a course in transcription, du- plicating, and filing, one quarter in Office Procedures, and member- ship in the Office Education Associ- ation. Each student was also re- quired to schedule an interview with Mrs. Fritch after submitting the completed application form. As always, the math department held many new discoveries for stu- dents. The freshmen, under the in- struction of Mr. Norman Abbring, math department head, Mr. Gene Miller, Mr. Dennis Johnson, and Mr. Robert Taylo uncovered quadratic equations. Mr. Abbring and Mr. Johnson introduced the sopho- mores to Pythagoras. Parabolas oc- cupied much of the juniors’ time in Algebra II, taught by Mr. Taylo. Fif- teen of the seniors, with the help of Mr. Johnson, learned all about cir- cular trigonometric functions.

Both languages also had clubs so that students tak- ing foreign language classes learned more about the culture and people of the countries they were studying. They learned both written and verbal phrases and words. There was an independent Spanish class for the third and fourth years and German was offered all four years. Foreign language students read novels written in the language, listened to tapes, and translated sto- ries. Social Studies New books! Social Studies classes finally got their long-awaited and much needed books. No more notes on WW II and presidents, for the new books were full of information and colorful pictures. Memorizing both the Amendments and Preamble to the Constitution were some of the many things histo- ry students learned. There were three quarters of Bible history taught by Mr. Sakel. Speakers came for the Career and Government classes. Careers was a new class open to freshman students. Taught by Miss Robinson, it gave the students an opportunity to look at their skills, abilities, and interests, and to view themselves in each of these quali- ties. Four quarters each of both govern- ment and U.S. history were required of K.V. students. There was a wide range of history classes to choose from, and most students had no problems in meeting their require- ments.

They had a wide range of courses to choose from. Timewise, these classes kept the students busy, yet they were a fun and interesting way to learn dif- ferent aspects of school besides the basics in academics. Students found they must take two certain classes, Consumer Living and Interpersonal Relationships I and II, in order to major in Home Economics. In other classes such as Child Devel- opment, students learned how to accept the responsibility of caring for younger children. They also learned about the birth of a child and the days and months leading up to it. Needlecraft classes had students working on their ' big projects’ along with many other smaller items such as pillows, embroidery. crochet, needlepoint, and patch- work. Entertaining class was a completely new experience for some students. They were taught proper etiquette, cake decorating, and how to plan and give parties. Students in Prob- lem Foods found ways to solve diffi- culties they had with certain foods. Globe Trotting had students prepar- ing and eating foreign foods. Students who had never sewn be- fore and students who had exper- ience in sewing were offered classes according to their knowledge. There was a beginning sewing class where the students made simple skirts and blouses, and the more ad- vanced classes in which they tai- lored suits and sewed fine lingerie. During the Art Festival held at the school, sewing students were able to exhibit their handiwork and sew- ing articles. Upper Left Corner.

In agricultural classes, students were required to have a farming project. They must keep careful records on this project and they were also encour- aged to keep up their farming inter- ests by joining the Future Farmers of America. Before starting to work on woods pro- jects, students must pass a safety test with 90% or better accuracy. A foun- dation for building a housing project has been laid but for now, only scale models are used. Woods projects range from bookcases to stereo hous- ing units. Building and caring for fur- niture is taught in Furniture Construc- tion and Furniture Finishing. Molding pieces of metal and shaping them into useful and decorative de- signs was taught as part of the Metals class. Students also learned how to wisely use the equipment. Repairing of cars was a popular class and students learned how to properly care for their own vehicles both under the hood and on the outside. Powder Puff Mechanics was a class designed to give this experience to girls. Mr. J.D. Foster was head of the Voca- tional Agricultural department. Mr. Ron Hine headed the Industrial Arts department. Mr. Dave Bruzek and Mr. Charles Bernhardt were other Indus- trial Arts teachers. Left: Mr. Foster instructs sophomores Nick Misch, Chris Kerkes, and Layton Pro- frock on how to prune the flowering cra- bapple tree.

Students could put their talents to work at drawing, sketching, paint- ing, sculpturing, pottering, and in many other artistic areas. They learned how to mix and match col- ors, to weave baskets, and glaze pot- tery. Mrs. Doris Myers and Mrs. Sarah Miller taught these classes. Mrs. Miller taught photography as well. Miss Debi Hedges taught many of the weaving and basketry courses. The Arts Festival given at the end of the school year allowed the stu- dents to show their drawings, paint- ings, and other work for the public’s benefit. Students gave demonstra- tions on the wheel and in macrame and sculpturing during the three evenings of the Festival. Many stu- dents were fortunate enough to sell their work.

Freshmen took general classes all four quarters which were named P.E., I, II, III, IV. These classes included all the different areas of physical education. Swimming was a new class, mainly because this was the first year K.V. had a swimming pool. Students not only learned the basics of swim- ming, but the more advanced stu- dents learned life-saving skills. Tennis was also enjoyed more this year. Before, the P.E. classes had to set up the nets in the front drive, but with the four new courts, it made playing more enjoyable. Students in some of the classes went on bowling field trips. Other students had projects to do, and others did reports. P.E. was taught by Miss Flynn and Mr. Gross. Swimming and life-sav- ing was taught by Mr. Sanders with various teachers helping with the overload of some of the swim classes. Upper left: Rick Mattocks gets his exercise playing frisbee.

The classes of- fered ranged from the study of the smallest living organisms to that of the human anatomy. Freshmen were required to take science classes and sophomores, juniors, and seniors must take Drug Abuse, a health class. In this class, students learn about the harmful drugs and what they can do to the body. Mr. David Bonham was head of the Health and Physical Education De- partment. Mr. Tom Risinger was head of the Science Department. Other science teachers were Mr. Steven Maple, Miss Sara Patterson, Mrs. Sue Waggoner, and Mr. Tim Plomaritis. • Microbiology • Vertebrate Zoology • Invertebrate Zoology • Mammology • Botany • Weather and Climate • Waste Disposal • Earth Resources • Ecology • Physics • Chemistry • Population • Genetics • Entomology • Biology • Drug Use and Abuse • Basic Anatomy • First Aid Left: It is important to take notes in Mr. Plo- maritis ' chemistry class as junior Marcy Klemp realizes.

SUNSHINE SOCIETY 67 Active And Busy The Future Farmers of America (FFA) was very active during the year which is not only a nine month school year but the summer months as well. The FFA, sponsored by Mr. J.D. Fos- ter, completed 120 activities for the year. Some of these were a turkey shoot, a slave auction and chicken barbeque, calender sales sponsored by Fieldhouse Ford, the FFA Sweet- heart crowning and dance, the sen- ior feed tour to the St. Louis area, a parent student banquet, the state FFA convention, state leadership camp at which many members did well, a day at the county fair, a day at Indiana Beach, a trip to a White Sox game, and bowling, swimming and roller skating parties. Officers were Mike Pruitt, Presi- dent; John Swart, vice-President; Brad Mak, Reporter; Melvin Van- Kley, Sentinel; Karla Hetrick, Trea- surer; and Nick Misch, Secretary. There were ten major committees which set up and budgeted the year’s activities. 68 FFA Opposite page — left: Junior Craig Knapp, and sophomores Art Green and Steve McMa- han anticipate the events of the FFA banquet.

CHEERLEADERS 81 VARSITY AND JV FOOTBALL Varisty Kougars Have 2-8 Season The KV football season had its ups and downs as the first three outings saw the Kougars outscore their opponents 49-6. However, the lopsidedness end- ed in the Knox game when flu and a rash of injuries beset the KV gridders. From this point, the competition seemed to get more fierce and the in- juries worse. Three of the next seven games were lost by a total of four points. All in all, the Kougars finished with a 2-8 season and JV a 4-3-1, but both had some very positive and memorable moments. Many of the young players received a great deal of experience due to the injuries which plagued the older members most of the year. As a result of many of the young people playing, the near future seems to be a bright one for KV varsity and JV football. At the end of the season, Jim Jenkins was honored at the sports banquet by being selected for All-Conference for his punting average of 39 yards. Gary Shirkey won Most Valuable Defensive Lineman, while Jeff Green won Most Valuable Offensive Lineman. Bryan Le- turgez was selected Most Valuable Of- fensive Back by setting a new school rushing record of over 800 yards. Scott Helton received the Most Valuable De- fensive Back award and the Most Valu- able Player-Mental Attitude award. Doug McKinley was selected as team captain for the year. Scott Jungels re- ceived the JV Best Back award and Larry Rudis won the award for JV Best Lineman.

FOOTBALL 83 FRESHMAN 4-1 Season Record 3-0 In N.W.H.C. FOOTBALL Mr. Gary DeHaven, freshman football coach, attributed most of his team’s success to the fact that they were a very close team that worked hard both on and off the field. This was proven by the fact that the freshman team had a 4-1 season record and were 3-0 in their conference games. Not only did the freshmen win all but one of their regular season games, they also won the South Newton Turkey Tour- ney. Mr. DeHaven also felt that these freshman players would be an impor- tant part of next year’s JV team, not only because they enjoyed working to- gether, but because of their positive attitudes. This was Mr. DeHaven’s first year at KV, and as the freshman football coach he had a successful season. Awards were given to only three play- ers: Mark Wireman won Best Offensive Back, Bill Eenhuistra was selected as Best Lineman, and Devin Mudd led the team in tackles.

Six runners will be lost through gradu- ation. Risinger made the following com- ments on each: — Mize improved most from the time he started running to the time of gradu- ation: — Wallace was as dedicated a distance runner as he has ever coached: — Barker, even with his foot problems, was a strong performer who found the 2Vz mile course too short: — Zylstra was the work horse who got lots done on guts: — Hirsch was another dedicated runner who never reached his full potential; — Ber, who was out for two years, was a good kid to have run. Next year’s team, according to Mr. Ri- singer, will be a very young one but four of the returnees will have had a good season under their belts. He added that the key to the team will be the dedication and ability of the incoming freshmen. Top: Coach Risinger massages freshman Roger Poisel ' s tense muscles prior to a race.

Flynn The 1980 varsity volleyball team, coached by Miss Debbie Flynn in her first year at KVHS, consisted mostly of seniors. However, the out- look for next year is bright because of the many strong undergraduate players and those who will be mov- ing up from the junior varsity ranks. The statistics showed the following: Kathy Olis had the highest setting percentage; Michelle Leturgez had the highest spiking and most kills as well as earning the award for Most Improved Player; Mary Duttlinger had the highest serve reception per- centage, and won the Most Valuable Player award. Diane Wisz had the most ace serves, most outstanding plays and won the Ace Serve award. The most dinks percentage went to Patti Capouch. Two girls, Leturgez and Duttlinger, tied for the most dropped balls. Since the girls didn’t have cheer- leaders, they invented their own cheer: Top left Senior Sandy Risner (20) looks on as senior Diane DeKock (10) spikes the ball.

VARSITY VOLLEYBALL 89 1 SWIMMING Co-ed Team In First Season The 1979-80 school year was the first year for the pool to be opened and it was also the first year for the swim team to be in competition. Coach Rod Sanders started the year with about 80 swimmers but only twenty com- pleted the season. Those who did stick with the grueling work and time-consum- ing sport did a good job according to Sanders. Sanders expects to start a middle school team next year and this will help the high school team during the next few years. He said it takes three to five years to build a good team and he expects to have them in the Conference next year or shortly thereafter. This year’s team was co-ed and swam during one season only. There will be nearly twenty returning next season, in- cluding Bret Root, the junior diver who placed fifth in the Crown Point sectional and was undefeated all year in dual meets.

The 1979-80 varsity basketball season story was one of success. The Kougars beat long-standing rival Rensselaer for the Turkey Tourney title to start a win- ning streak that would last for the next 17 games. Another high-point of the season was beating Merrillville, the school that had beaten the Kougars badly the last two seasons. On and on the Kougar team went, vic- tory after victory, until finally the AP poll began to take a second look. Soon the Kougars were rated number 17 in the state. From there they gradually moved up to 13th position before be- ing beaten by Michigan City Rogers by three points. This was the only Kougar defeat during seasonal play. Crowds grew larger, newspaper cover- age greater, and school spirit stronger as everyone began to follo w the saga of the triumphant Kougars. A new ex- pression became common in the newspapers’ description of the crowds: the sixth man. Much emphasis was placed on this sixth man and victo- ries were even attributed to its help and support. Sectional time came along and the Kougars had another chance to show the Rensselaer Bombers who was boss this season as the Kougars had also beaten them during regular season play. As predicted, the Kougars beat both Rensselaer and Kouts to compete in the championship game with Low- ell. The winning streak continued and the Kougars downed the Red Devils 68- 40. This made Kankakee Valley the sec- tional winners for two years in a row and also put them in the position to play Lafayette Jefferson in the first game of the regional. The winning streak was not to be con- tinued any longer as the Kougars were beaten by a strong Jeff team 49-60. Top: Dave Zylstra, senior, positions the ball for a shot.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 93 GIRLS’ JV BASKETBALL Team Stats Show Much Potential 94 The 12-1 season for the 1979-80 junior Varsity basketball squad was no surprise to coach Debbie Flynn since last year’s team had compiled almost as good a re- cord at 11-2. The seasonal stats showed some out- standing work by the young squad. Sher- ry Toppen, a freshman, had the best free throw percentage of 51.6 and total points at 84, beating out Karen Zylstra for points who had 83. Zylstra, also a fresh- man, had the most offensive rebounds at 39 and best offense at 129. Ceci Van- Meerten had the most assists at 8. Shan- non Heerema, a sophomore forward, had the most defensive rebounds at 34 and defense of 41. Nicki Capouch had 31 steals during the season. Flynn said the girls played well together and had much potential as a team. She was able to switch the girls from position to position as most could play in multiple areas. This will be an asset for next year when many of the girls will move up to varsity level.

JV BASEBALL 97 WRESTLING Matmen Have 9-4 Season With the loss of only three seniors from this year’s team and with the four best record holders from the past season re- turning, Coach Walt Prochno’s outlook for an even better season for the 1980-81 school year is promising. The three seniors are Greg Ber, Tim Prohl, and Steve Kearney. The four best record holders from this season were Mudd (22-4); Reeves (15-3); Williamson (15-6); L’Huillier (12-4). Mudd will be a sophomore, Reeves, a junior, and L’Huil- lier and Williamson will be seniors. With this group of seasoned veterans as well as the other strong competitors from the team, Prochno looks to win the confer- ence as well as the sectional. This year’s sectional produced eight champions — Mudd, Reeves, William- son, Hirsch, Ber, Shirkey, Morales, and Leturgez. Many of the matmen will be continuing with wrestling throughout the summer months as well as attending wrestling camps.

BOYS ' TRACK 101 GIRLS’ TRACK Zylstra Goes To Regional The 1980 girls’ track team had a success- ful season, sending nine girls to the Por- tage sectional and one to the regional at Lafayette. Coach Debbie Flynn was pleased with the showing of the girls at the sectional. The 800 meter medley relay squad was com- posed of Mary Duttlinger, Terri Beck- man, Teri Andree, Karen Zylstra, and al- ternate Shannon Heerema. Kayleen Nan- nenga competed in the 200 meter dash, Ellen Obara in the high jump and 1600 meter run, Bonnie Wright and Doreen Heerema in the discus and Mary Dutt- linger in the long jump. The only mem- ber to qualify for the regional was Karen Zylstra who placed sixth with a time of 5:36.7 in the 1600 at Lafayette. Four seniors will be lost to the team but Coach Flynn expects an even better tur- nout of girls for next year. Many of these will be freshmen whose Middle School team had an undefeated season. Kayleen Nannenga received the Most Im- proved award at the Spring Sports ban- quet. Also honored with major awards were Shannon Heerema who received the Mental Attitude award, and Karen Zylstra who earned both the Most Valuable and Most Points awards.

The 1980 Golf team lowered its individ- ual player average six strokes and the team score per match dropped one stroke from last year, according to fourth year coach Leo Hummel. The coach and five team members spent the week of spring break in South Caroli- na to get in a week of golfing in good weather before they took on the seasonal competition. The outlook for next year is good since no seniors were lost to this year’s team. Most of the boys, according to Hummel, will be strong contenders if they contin- ue to play and improve during the sum- mer months. Most Valuable Player was Tom Wallin whose season average was 43.83. He had two rounds under 40 as well as 60 pars and 7 birdies.

GOLF 105 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Van Kley, Capouch Senior Co-Captains A team that is always ready to play and one that is outstanding in many areas is the way Coach Ron Hine characterizes his active group of stand-out players. They are a super bunch of bright kids and are always ready to play, he said. The grade point average of the top ten girls was 3.4(B + ) for the year. Hine, who was named NWHC Coach of the Year, expects a good team next sea- son as well. It will still be a relatively young team with lots of experience, ac- cording to Hine. Only two seniors will be lost to the team and Hine feels that if one or more good scorers can take their places, the team will again have a suc- cessful season. Senior Lori Van Kley was the leading scorer and rebounder for the past two years. Senior Patti Capouch was the out- side shooting threat and kept the team enthused with her leadership. The two girls served as co-captains. Van Kley received the awards for Most Reboun ds, Best Free Throw Percentage, Best Field Goal Percentage, and Best Of- fensive Player.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL 107 JV BASKETBALL 17-3 In Dual Meets 6-1 In NWHC Winners — Bi-County Tourney The JV basketball team posted a 17-3 seasonal record, improving on last year’s record of 14-6. They were champions of the Christmas tourney at South Newton (to be hosted by KVHS in 1981) tied the school record for the most wins, and were 6-1 in the NWHC. Several players also dressed and played occasionally at the varsity lev- el. Even if these young men play full time on next year’s varsity squad, Coach Bob Gross still sees his team making much improvement. The playing experience gained will certainly benefit the team according to Gross, who is in his 2nd year as JV coach. The team will have lots of height and be quicker overall, he says. At the Winter Sports banquet, Thom Morin received the Best Field Goal Per- centage award. Aaron Helms earned the award for Best Free Throw Aver- age, Brian Jonkman for Most Re- bounds, and Jim Terborg for Most As- sists. Jonkman and Terborg served as team captains for the season. Minor awards were given to Ron Call, Mike DeFries, Dave Dexter, Aaron Helms, Brian Jonkman, Phil Kingma, Hank Mann, Jim Terborg, and Mark Van Soest.

PROM 127 Kankakee Valley Spring Arts Festival 3 Evenings Of Food, Fun, Demonstrations, Music The arts include many areas and most of them could be seen or heard during the three gala evenings of the Spring Arts Festival. The music department provided two evenings of entertainment through in- strument and voice. The choral depart- ment, directed by Mr. Don Wharton, showed its versatility as a group and indi- vidually during Friday evening’s perfor- mance. The Middle School and High School Concert bands we re on stage Sat- urday evening. It was at this year-end fi- nal performance that KVHS Principal Le- turgez announced the high school band had been invited to appear at a music festival in Austria in July of 1981. Faculty members of the KV School Cor- poration presented A Show to Remem- ber” on opening night. The show was well-received by the audience and pro- ceeds from the admission costs were used to provide a scholarship for a senior entering the field of education. Cindy McKinney, who will be studying special education at University of Evansville this fall, was the recipient of the scholarship. Foods of all kinds and varieties were available to fit almost every taste. The Spanish Club served tacos with all the trimmings from their stand, while the German Club booth featured German po- tato soup. Desserts of pies, cakes, cook- ies, ice cream, and other specialities could be purchased at the Art Club’s gai- ly decorated stand. The Lettermen Club provided drinks, and the OEA had candy for sale. Strolling mimes presented mini-dramas throughout the evenings. Also on hand were jousters whose duals entertained and delighted the audiences. The gym was filled with hundreds of dis- plays of student work done throughout the year in many of the arts. Students also did demonstrations in different art areas to the enjoyment of the crowd. A fashion show featuring summer’s newest styles and fabrics was given in the pool area. Fashions were from My Lady’s Shop and featured student models. The pool area was also used for swim- ming demonstrations as students showed the audience techniques used in life-savings.

ARTS FESTIVAL 129 Sunshine Brightens Every Corner Sunshine Society had many and varied activities through- out the year, most of them involving service and commu- nication with others. Among these activities was the Ideal Lady Tea, a time to honor the women the girls had each chosen individually as their ideal person. Daddy Date Night gave the girls a night out with their fathers while a Mother Daughter night provided an evening of fellowship with their moth- ers. Desserts were served for the fathers and salads for the mothers. About 70 Senior Citizens attended the ice cream social given by the girls in the high school cafeteria. The group played bingo and other games as well as enjoying ice cream and toppings. Throughout the year, the group planned activities to brighten the day for the teachers. A complete breakfast was served prior to the beginning of the school day, and there was often coffee, doughnuts, and roils available in the teachers ' lounges. Bright red geraniums were given to each teacher for Mother’s Day. The girls also had time to enjoy themselves — they had a formal dance with music by Staggerwing, and they had a Halloween party, dressing in spooky costumes and view- ing Love at First Bite”. Kathleen Grube attended a Youth Power Conference in Indianapolis and then went on to competition in Missouri where she won a scholarship. Beverly Hetrick was elected recording secretary for the state of Indiana. The girls hosted the district convention and about 500 girls from other societies attended the day-long event. bbSSt - si -j — I W Sr 1 L ' 4 130 SUNSHINE Opposite page, left: Freshman girls at Coke Chips, an invitation for new girls to join Sunshine.

Kougars Win Sectional We’re number one, we’re number one!” shouted the enthusiastic Kankakee Valley fans as their Kougars scored impressive victories over Rensselaer (74-52), Kouts (64-26), and Lowell (68-40) to become the 1980 Sectional champions. Spirit was high throughout the week of the games. Stu- dents participated in special days and let themselves be heard at the pep sessions. They jammed the gymnasium on the three nights of the sectional, loudly proclaiming they were from Kougar Country and proud of it. Their team didn’t let them down as it stormed over its oppo- nents, winning handily all three evenings. At closing ceremonies, Principal Leturgez’s announce- ment that there would be no school on Monday met with complete approval. A well-attended community pep ses- sion was held in honor of the sectional champs on Mon- day at nine and then students and faculty were free for the day.

SECTIONAL 139 We’re Number 1! State Champs In Special Olympics We’re number one! We ' re number one!” shouted the enthusiastic players and fans as Kankakee Valley ' s Spe- cial Olympic basketball team won the STATE champion- ship for the second straight year. The team, playing in the 21 and under Class A division, won the Northwest District Championship at South Bend’s Notre Dame campus and went on to take the state title at Indiana State ' s Terre Haute campus. They defeated Chrysler High School of New Castle 46-16 and Eastwood School of Indianapolis 41-24 in the single elimi- nation play to become the state champs. Mr. Greg Oliver, in his third year as coach of the team, praised his players for the total team effort shown throughout the year. The 1980-81 season will be a re- building one for the team as five of this year’s nine mem- bers will be lost through graduation. The 1980-81 season may also see the first girls’ team entered from Kankakee Valley as much interest in form- ing such a team was shown by the female athletes. Oliver is in his 4th year of teaching students with special needs at Kankakee Valley. His coaching record is 16-4.

The sophomores were the winners of the class competition in this event. Above With the warm May sun beaming down, students gathered to watch the events and enjoy being out-of-doors. The Field Day events were co- ordinated by Mr. Allen Myers. The Events 1. Tug of War 2. Wheelbarrow Relay 3. Tricycle Relay 4. Co-Ed Volleyball 5. Frisbee Golf 6. Sack Relay 7. Underhand Egg-Toss 8. 3-legged Relay To celebrate spring and conclude the 1979-80 Pride Contest, KVHS students and faculty had a warm, fun-filled afternoon on May 9. Competition between the classes in the eight events was fierce since the winner would have a free day from school to picnic at Lake Holiday, The Freshman class tied with the juniors in competition but the freshmen were so far ahead of the other classes in previous con- tests that there was little doubt as to who would earn the eagerly- awaited day off. Field Day was not only an after- noon for classes to compete with each other; It was also an after- noon to work on the beginnings of a tan under the warm May sun; it was an afternoon to be free of the confinement of the class- room; and it was an afternoon for students and faculty to enjoy a fun time of activities together.

MAY 18, 1980 Graduation Day 1980 had finally ar- rived for the 188 seniors who had anx- iously waited for 12 years. The antici- pation started Friday morning when caps and gowns were distributed to the class and practice for the com- mencement ceremonies was conduct- ed. Afterward a large group picture was taken of the class before the stu- dents departed their own ways to many varied activities. Some spent time with friends, some prepared for their Open Houses, some pressed caps and gowns, some entertained rel atives from out of town, and some rested. That evening they were together again for the Awards presentation. Sunday arrived and seniors had many different feelings about graduation. For all, it was a joyous occasion, but while some were completely happy to be ' out ' , others looked back on the good times and opportunities with sadness. Everyone, however, whether they had nostalgic feelings or happy, excited ones, realized the future lay before them and was theirs for the tak- ing. Although valedictorian Lori VanKley and salutatorian Lester Passuello both talked of world problems, they each said they had confidence in the class of 1980 helping to solve these prob- lems. Above: Valedictorian Lori Van Kley, and bottom, Lester Passuello, salutatorian, also spoke at the Commencement exercises.

The Class of 1980 set a school record by selling nearly $5000.00 worth of ads! The Kougar Pride staff thanks each senior for the effort made during this special day. But it is to our advertisers who freely give each year that we wish to express the most thanks. It is because of these businessmen and businesswomen in our communities that the cost of the book can be kept within the price range of every student at Kankakee Valley High School.

First, for a few, this was their first year on the staff. For all others, it was again another year of adjustments. We had a new room and a new advisor, Mrs. Betty J. Brown, my third in three years. But as the year progressed, the pieces fell together and the staff became a ‘family’. Even though small in number, they were great in production! Therefore, my first thanks goes to them — Cara, assistant edi- tor; Jenny, photography editor; Kathy, Heidi, and Gretchen, staffers. Second, thanks goes to Mr. Bob Henning, our publish- ing consultant and representative, who spent many hours helping pull this book together and always get- ting us the best deals possible. Without this group, the faculty and staff, my job would have been a great deal more tiresome and long. My thanks to all who helped so much, expecially Mr. D. Johnson and Mr. L. Hummel who helped with the photography. Also a big thanks to all the study hall students who helped with the tedious job of in- dexing. Another thank you is due to Roots Photography for all their help in taking club pictures, team pictures and special events pictures. Last, and certainly not least, I give all my thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Brown. Without this lady, this book would not be. She unselfishly gave up many hours and so much of herself to see that this book was as perfect as she could make it. She also put up with a lot of procrastination on all our parts, but especailly mine. Even through all this she was always smiling and ready to give a little more. And so to you, Mrs. Brown, I dedicate this 1980 KOUGAR PRIDE with all my thanks and love.
