Although the weather forced the floats to stand idle and forced the roy- al court inside for the crowning cere- monies, loyal fans remained in the stands to await the outcome of the game. No questions were raised as the Kougars pummeled the River Forest Ingots 14-0. For the second consecu- tive year, the Kougar gridders had overcome weather ' s obstacles to create a victory.

In grammar, a hobo can become a professor after one short easy lesson. In journalism, the action-packed lead is a must and students must learn how to lay out a paper, correct errors, and write a headline. These are current talents found no where else in the school. The English Department also boasts classes in Shakespeare, term paper, and mythology. When the lights go up on stage, it ' s the set design class which can take the bows. Boring, not by a long shot, when all you have to do is open the pages of a book and read. The diversity of teaching methods are under the direction of Department Chair Mrs. Mollie Gregory.

From this knowledge, we learn to shape a better tomorrow. Therefore, we disprove that history is not just dates, but ideals. All these points are brought to the minds of students through discus- sion, reports, jeopardy games, tests, and lectures. From the past to the present takes but one short year as seniors move into gov- ernment. This class is designed for sen- iors only. This class teaches the stu- dents the basics of the legislative process including running for office and voting. Whether it ' s yesterday or today, the Social Studies Department works to keep current material in their curriculum through periodical readings and reports.

Numbers effect us each day. Their application is as simple as setting the alarm or counting change to figuring the square foot of a room or scientific equations. Courses in- cluded Algebra I, II, Applied Mathemat- ics, Geometry, Senior Math, and Trigo- nometry. As the year grows to a close, numbers play an important part in the life of Mr. Robert Taylo. After 31 years in the teach- ing profession, he has chosen to close the classroom door on this era of his life. Nineteen years have been spent behind a Kankakee Valley desk. While at Teft High School he was the Head Basketball and Track coach. He is still active in the Athletics Department by serving as the Ticket Manager. As Mr. Taylo leaves the staff, he states, Working with kids is a challenge. It ' s hard for me, from the old school, to work with and understand the ways students think. But, if I had to do it over again, I would still teach. Mr. Abbring, Mr. Orsburn, Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Taylo. Mrs. Roberts factors out equations in Algebra II.

If your answer is the Science Department, score 100%, in this guessing game. Science, a process of logical deduction, is a never-ending process of discovery and change. As the world battles the problem of test tube babies and cloning, Mr. Tom Risinger challenges the stu- dents to put a large pickle through the small end of a catsup bottle. This process is on display on his desk. Genetics and reproduction are studied with the aide of geneologies and white mice. Frogs, snakes, bugs, and other elements of country fields are brought in from the Entymology Bug Hunts. In Biology, local pig farmers bring in dead piglets for the use of students in dissection. When you open a drawer or cupboard in a science class the warning Be Care- ful is well-headed as mold is grown un- der various conditions. Students also take petri dishes into the halls and classes to check on air borne germs. The process of discovery appears not only in the books but in the labs as well. In Chemistry, students discover the chemical combinations that are found in household recipes as well as test tube formulas. Lasers, computers, chemicals and bunsane burners all play important roles in this highly technical area. Health classes watch an actual open heart surgery on television and then practice heart massage and the resesita- tion process on Annie in class. This is just part of the action that can be found in the Science Department. Juniors Cindy Erwin and Jim Young concoct a bubbling solution in Chemistry lab.

McGuire The KVHS Concert Choir performs at the Band and Choir Winter Concert. 71 Marching Band Dominates Field During Football Band! What do you think when some- one says Band? Is it Jazz Band with its swinging tunes or Basketball Pep Band with its rolicking renditions. Maybe the more reserved Concert Band or smart- stepping Marching Band is more your style. Well, whatever it may be, KV ' s Band program has a place for you. As a source of entertainment the musi- cians excite, conjole. quiet, and arouse you with tunes of today and yesterday. After tough competition, KV captures second at the Lewis Cass H.S. Contest on March 24 and first at the Chesterton Tournament of Bands. After the end of marching season, the Concert Band takes the spot light. They perform for the entertainment of all in many concerts, and they are part of the ISSMA contest on April 14. Local musicians earn 12 firsts and 3 seconds at ISSMA Solo and Ensemble Contest. Six of the twelve firsts partici- pate in State competition. Marching Kougaretts move to the beat of the band in numerous choreographed shows created by Miss McKenzie. The band and auxilary corps are under the direction of Miss McKenzie. Bleachers do not stop the action of the Marching Kougars Musical renditions. Kougarette actions entertain the crowd throughout the game. 72 Marching Kougars stand at attention prior to a half time show. Concentration is the key to a successful performance. Musicians combine harmony and choreography to create a graphic picture of Evergreen ' s theme. Moves of the Marching Kougars are designed by Miss McKenzie, Band Director. Senior Majorette, Lori Risner, takes a peek at the action on the field for a band response.

Thurs- day evening ' s performance is only fifty people from being sold out. Word seemed to spread like wild fire and Fri- day and Saturday ' s performances are complete sell outs. There are several peo- ple who are not able to secure tickets which may prompt next year ' s program to run two weekends. The entire cast, crew and musicians jell extremely well for an outstanding sho w. The lead character of Dolly Levie is played by Michelle Gustin. All of her hard work brings praises from many critics and audience participants alike The role of Horace Vandergelder is played by Todd McEwan. Todd also does an outstanding job of creating the mon- ey pinching gruff, but extremely likeable character of Horace. Darren Serhal plays Vandergelder ' s assistant Cornelius Hackle. Darren seems to mesmerize the audience with his comical wide-eyed in- nocence. Likewise, Cornelius ' s sidekick Barnaby Tucker, played by Dave Hetrick greatly amuses the audience. Two of the leading ladies are played by Suzy Ed- wards (Irene Molly) and Marsha McEwan (Minnie Fay). Both of these girls put a tremendous amount of char- acterization into their songs, dancing and acting. During each night ' s performance, the part of Ernestina, played by Dawn Bun- ning throws the audience into uproar- ious laughter. Two other parts that charm the audience are Ambrose ( Eric Valdivia) and Ermengarde (Jeanna Sand- ers). Make-up does a great deal to turn a 16-year-old beauty into old Mrs. Rose played by Linda Borchers. Extras added to assure its success in- clude the addition of Louis Armstrong played by Ron Griffie. Another twist is the fine performances given by the eight dancers. The dancers, along with Ru- dolph and the waiters, the towspeople and the dancing horse played by Kelly Gragido and Sherri Schultz all create one of the most delightful school plays that anyone has ever seen at KVHS. Already many are asking — “What ' s next year? Junior Chad McCorkle, Sophomore Jeff Pawlik, Freshman Keith Dykstra, and sophomores John Schneider and Bob Kolanowski sway to the tune of HELLO DOLLY while senior Michelle Gustin (Dolly) belts out her promise to stay forever. 76 Senior Michele Gustin sparkles on stage during the climax of Hello Dolly. The orchestra added a touch of class to the production. It took many hours of practice to synchronize the music to the voices. Junior Darren Serhal, Sophomores Dave Hetrick, Marsha McEwan, and Junior Suzie Edwards strut their stuff to the sweet sound of Elegance. Junior Jeanna Sanders shows her great acting abili- ty as Ermengarde; the crying niece of Mr. Vander- gelder. 77 Hours Of Practice Pay Off For Hello Dolly Cast Director Tim Albert shows manager Kim Walleski where to put opening night props.

The Music and Art Departments out do themselves in this years festival. The department renders entertainment that is pleasing to the ear with programs giv- en by the concert and swing choirs and the jazz and symphonic bands. The con- cert choir performs such traditional numbers as Shenandoah and the Bat- tle Hymn of the Republic . The Swing Choir performs a series of broadway hits from such productions as West Side Story, A Chorus Line, and Cabaret . The Symphonic Band performs a wide variety of different numbers, everything from a Scottish Rhapsody to Selections from E.T. The Symphonic Band had an added extra that enhanced its show. Solo- ist Ray Grivetti plays Straw Flower and Latinata on the saxaphone. Mr. Grivetti has played with Tommy Dorsey and Bill Porter orchestras during his career and it was an honor to have him here with us. The Jazz Band also gave a good perfor- mance with Chris Glass playing a solo for the number Lost Star . While the Music Department was busy pleasing the ear, the Art Depart- ment was busy pleasing the eye. Drawing, painting, printmaking, ce- ramics, and photography were only some of the many types of art displayed. There was definately something for all tastes. The best of show was awarded to Chris Castle for his original line drawing and the senior award sketch book was presented to Ann Murray for her creati- veness that was displayed throughout the year. Ann Murray was also presented with an award from the Jasper County Art League as outstanding senior. Mike Saulsgiver, Nancy Polomchak, and Rob Kowlonowski were presented with awards in the Drawing class. Fernanda Leme, one of KV. ' s foreign exchange students, brought to us a cul- tural difference in her award winning artworks and added a different look to the displays of the festival. Photography awards went to Jodi Wiers and Mike Carroll who proved that a photograph is as much an original art form as is a painting. The Arts and Crafts Festival has prov- en to be an interesting community event in the past and, with the way things were this year, will continue to be in the fu- ture. Junior Ray Malia throws a pot at the Spring Arts Festival. Ray won an award for the best pots with covers at the Awards program.

Varsity Captures Audience Hearts In Victory Quest Coach Albert summarizes the season, In future years people will still look back at this ' 82 team and say they were the ones who finally won. To me as a coach I look at those intangibles as being responsible. Such things as dedication, loyalty, integrity, hard work, enthusi- asm, self-confidence all to into the word that any team needs to survive . . . ATTITUDE. This team of ' destiny ' earns 4th place in the conference and chalks up its first winning season since 1972 with a 5 win — 4 loss record. Fighting Kougars see exciting action in a triple overtime victo- ry with Culver Military and a final min- ute scare with Noth Judson when they fail to complete a two point conversion. Coaches for the varsity football team are Head Coach Tim Albert with Rod Sanders, Gary DeHaven, Dennis Metzger, and Jim Lauraitis assisting. These coaches along with the players and managers Dee Nannenga, Dawn Beck, and trainer Jim Drees all pull to- gether in a supreme effort. Despite the three win, five loss season the J.V. football team is ravaged by in- juries knocking out one player for the season and hampering many peak per- formances. Managers Val Nannenga and Romer Clark and trainer Jim Drees had their hands full trying to keep up with duties. The freshman football team coached by Mr. Metzger and Mr. Lauraitis, had a winning record with 2 wins and 1 loss. All-N.W.H.C. L.B. — Dave Long L.B. — Devin Mudd Def.

This quote says it all as 195 seniors complete their final plans for a May 15 graduation ceremony. As the afternoon draws to a close, so ends a period in the lives of another class of Kankakee Valley graduates. During the year, their days are filled with the excitement of government, Eng- lish, art and various other classes. After school their time is filled with long hours of sweat and practice, work and play. As no two days are alike, no two seniors choose to spend their final days or their early release time in the same manner. Early release is a program in which seniors who have completed all gradu- ation requirements are allowed to take their final classes and leave the building from one to three hours early each day, or they are allowed to complete all re- quirements the first semester and not re- turn until graduation. This time is filled with military, marital, occupational or academic endeavors. Another plus for the senior class is the Super Senior program which weekly honors a senior who has done an out- standing academic or extra-curricular job during his her high school days. In the fall, seniors attend a three hour Career Day event hosted annually by the Guidance Department and the local Ro- tary. The day is designed to expose the average student to the current occupa- tional and college markets. The class is under the leadership of sponsors Mr. Tim Albert and Mr. Gary DeHaven. Class Officers are Arlene Dickson, president; Bob Orzech, vice- president and Janine Spurgeon, secre- tary-treasurer. Lisa Lackovitch takes top honors in the annual Spelling Bee. E.

Wheth- er it be our last year of high school or our first, we all strive for a goal. Some of us go beyond that goal to reach out for an- other. Whichever goal we accomplish, we are Reaching out today for Tomorrow. I would like to thank this year ' s year- book staff for their fine effort. Linda Borchers and Tammy VanVleet for do- ing an excellent job on the Senior sec- tion; Mike Batey and Keith Dykstra for a good job on the Fine Arts section; Eric Olson for designing all the ads; Melissa Mitchell and Stella Ferrell for an out- standing underclassmen section; Jim Raber completed his part of the academic section doing a fine job; Romer Clark, Jeff Armstrong, and Michelle Wayne for a superior sports section; and Kathy Angliss and Brenda Pearman for compil- ing all the club information. The yearbook would not be complete without our typists, Melissa Mitchell and Jane Gatlin; and our photographers Brandt Hershman and Sue Letko. A big thank you goes to my co-editor, Natalie Lawyer, for her support and coo- peration. I would also like to thank Principal Leturgez and Mrs. Morrison for their help. A special thanks goes to my Advisor, Mrs. Kathy Crosby, for all of her encour- agement and support, and my parents Elvis and Mary Jane Mitchell for their understanding when yearbook meetings lasted late, and their support when the copy just got me down. The 1982-83 yearbook has 184 pages It is unified by the theme Reach Out To- day For Tomorrow . Body copy is 10 pt. Style 33 . Caption copy is 8 pt. Style 33 . It is printed by Jostens American Year- book Company. The staff is assisted by company representative Mr. Robert Henning. Club and class photos are the product of Mr. Gerry DesPlaines of Pres- tige Studios. Senior Denise Mitchell checks over some copy before heading for the yearbook room. Denise spends many hours proofing, typing, and designing. When the pages are finished, the cleanup begins. Sophomore Brenda Pearman brushes away the leaves as we Reach Out Today for Tomorrow.
