With the onset of twelfth grade, a unique metamorphasis occurs in senior students. An eagerness consumes them as they an- ticipate the wonders of the precious year ahead. Priorities are evaluated and re-es- tablished — watching television takes “sec- ond chair” to studying for college entrance exams; going to football games comes be- fore earning a few dollars babysitting, and dancing the last slow dance with someone special takes priority over going out with the gang. The realization that high school life is indeed a short-lived span of time en- ters the minds of seniors, causing them to appreciate the little things that they took for granted just the year before. Of course, changes can be viewed in oth- er areas of the senior’s life too. Leaving most of the remnants of self-consciousness behind, seniors walk tall, speak boldly, and think for themselves. The old adage that seniors “rule the school” may have originated from the fresh sense of pride they display. Perhaps that is what the root of the metamorphasis is — a kindled PRIDE. The Kankakee Valley High School Sen- ior Class of 1984 is PROUD, and deserve to be prided upon. To counter the belief that this is a biased opinion, we now present 192 reasons why we believe the senior class of 1984 has a right to be proud!

It is the last year they will have to put up with the title “Underclassmen”. It is now that they are planning for the future, whether it be choosing a college, or finding a job. In spite of these pressures, the juniors have managed to compile a rewarding experience. At homecoming, the junior class chooses Jennifer Green as their court candidate. She is escorted by Dan Patzschke. In the annual Powder Puff game, the junior squad shut out the sen- iors 18-0. Members of the junior class hold backbone po sitions in athletics and fine arts, holding four of the five basket- ball starting positions, and all the major leadership roles in the band. Top spellers for the class include: Denise Brown, Debbie Stonecipher, Annette Feleki, Ju- lie Stalbaum, and Natalie Lawyer. Officers for this outstanding class in- clude: President, Brenda Tillema; Vice President, Michelle Kaper; Secretary, April Irvine; and Treasurer, Sharon Borsits.

Youth officers for the Class of ’86 are Presi- dent Barb Myers, Vice President Sherri Fase, Secretary Kim Ailes and Treasurer Melissa Fa- gen. Keeping the spirit of ’86 alive during Home- coming are court candidates Chrissy Lucas and escort Dale Van Vuren. Nineteen students vie for top honors in the all school Spelling Bee. Receiving certificates for their efforts are Nathalie Pelletier, Jenny Nagel, Scott Czlonka, Kim Ailes, Stephanie Fyda, JoAnne Pettet, Jim Clark, Katy Morrison, Rhonda Heinz, Anne VanKeppel, Terri Sheffer, Beth Lucietta, Tracey Rude, and Sue Letko. Tieing for fourth place are Karen McCallister and Kevin Johnson. First place tie is shared by Jeff Allen, Alicia Caldanaro and Michele Crow- nover. The spell off is recited before the entire student body. During this second year of high school, stu- dents delve deeper into the learning environment and celebrate unity in spirit. Enthusiasm is the one objective that describes this zealous group of teens. Whenever the going gets tough, the sophomores get going. They are instrumental in providing the meat in a “Where’s the beef?” situation such as spirit competitions, spelling bees, etc. 40 Dennis DeHaan Daniel DeVries Daniel DeYoung Holly DeYoung Steve Dobson Leigh Ann Dunn Robert Dybcio Keith Dykstra Sara Elisha Edward Ellefson Michael Ellis Melissa Fagen Sherri Fase Stephanie Fyda Tammy Garland Cindy Gilbert Lisa Gourley Leta Gray Larry Greathouse Mike Gregory Ron GrifFie Michael Griffith Gary Grover Elizabeth Grube Rhonda Heinz Larry Heilman Aaron Heironimus Doug Hendon Lisa Hennin Alan Hicks John Hicks Samuel Hicks Scott Hicks Roy Higgerson Becky Hirsch Janet Holland Don llousman Rod Huber Cindy Hunt Kevin Johnson Dave Jones Dennis Jungles Marvin Kampenga Michael Kcssinger Beth Kingma Michelle Kingma Philip Klemp 41 Teresa Kneifel Frankie Koliada Mark Kozuch Elisha Kroledge Stan Kuhns Christopher Kupiainen Becky LaCosse Sheryl Lafrenz Bryan Lamp Susan Letko Lori Liss Connie Lonsberry Sheila Lovely Chrissy Lucas Beth Lucietta Karen McAllister Matthew McKim Eric Malott David Manns Paul Marotta Karen Martin Maximillian Martin William Mathis Joey Matusak LeAnn Meiss Brian Messer Cecil Molden Katy Morrison Michael Musall Barbara Myers David Myers Jennifer Nagel Sophomore Barb Myers reviews her strategy as she patiently waits for the JV game to finish.

Learning to juggle a six period day with extra curricular events and homework teaches responsibility to the spirited members of the class of ’87. Meeting new people and accepting the challenges of the adult world can be rough. Aiding in these activities are class sponsors Dawn Gross and Sarah Miller. The class is under the leadership of President Amy Ser- hal, Vice President Brent Jeffries and Sec- retary-treasurer Mary Ellen Beata. Representing the freshman class on the Homecoming Princess Court is Sarah Pfledderer escorted by Chris Walstra. Twenty students take top honors in the annual Spelling Bee.

A C A D E M I C s English Pupils Take Pride Learning New Language Arts As the fall of “83” drew closer, the Eng- lish Department finalizes its plans for the Language Arts classes for the coming year. Th ey decide that the freshmen will study the basic parts of speech: grammar writing skills, literature, and book report tech- niques. The Sophomores will study advanced grammar, composition, speech, literature, spelling, library skills, vocabulary, and book report techniques. The Junior classes will study literature, grammar skills in written form, spelling, vocabulary and book report forms. Memoers of the Senior Class may choose two Language Arts classes to study. They chose from one of these classes; Advanced Composition, English Literature, Speech Debate and Discussion, Contemporary Lit- erature, Creative Writing, Speech, Jour- nalism, Mass Media, Acting Set and De- sign. The teachers that lead the English classes are Mr. Albert, Ms. Brown, Mrs. Crosby, Mrs. Kresja, and Mrs. Price. De- partment chair is Mrs. Gregory. l V’ Junior Korine Vandermolen is in deep thought discov- ering the eight parts of speech in the language arts class. f Senior Linda Borchers enjoys the challenge of an Aca- demic English class as her high school year comes to — l an end. ’ ■1 54 Senior Robin Bullock checks for proper grammar on an English assignment. Sophomore Chris Cunningham observes the correct procedure for an English project. Senior Joe O ' Rourke checks the black board for his weekly assignment. 55 HF I ' i ' r ' T i - m id .1.1. 1.1,1 i,i, J Students Accumulate Facts Observe Figures; Numbers For the first time in KV history Ad- vanced Topics is offered. This calculus re- lated course designed for college-bound seniors is a bonus for the math oriented student. Overall, KV.’s math department now of- fers a well rounded program. Students wanting to “take a walk on the wild side” — otherwise known as following the college prep route — are challenged daily. Fresh- men enter the world of Algebra I, an area only briefly touched upon at the middle school level. Proofs and theorems require the undivided attention of the sophomores, while Algebra II boggles the minds of quite a few Juniors. Meanwhile. Seniors are making their way through College Math, a course consisting of a semester of Trigo- nometry and a semester of Analytic Geom- etry. A group of adventurous seniors have even chosen to take College Math and Ad- vanced Topics simultaneously in order to fully prepare themselves for college. General Math is offered to those students not wishing to attend college. In this course students are prepared to enter the “real” world after high school, including the com- plexities of figuring percentages, square footage, and counting change. Freshman Nathan Lawyer refers to Mrs. Gross for assistance on his Algebra I assignment. Freshmen Carla Leach, and Scott Kooistra work as a group on their Algebra 1 assignment. Mr. Norm Abbring Mrs. Judy Roberts Mr. Bill Orsburn Mrs. Dawn Gross 56 Mr. Abbring works out a Trig, problem for Senior Bonnie VanKley. Senior Ray Malia takes an M M break. This all- American snack kept stomachs from growling throughout the year. 44 Science Instructors Create Hands on” Projects; Trips “Gotcha!”, cries a young entymology student as her butterfly net encircles an- other specimen for her bug collection. Once each semester, students may be seen head- ing for the Biology Room with their 30 plus bugs in tow. The bugs are mounted in ev- erything from cardboard boxes and cotton to polished wooden cases and styrofoam. However, it is not the cases but the contents that is important. One girl said, “I have 17 house flies, ants and bees. That’s all I could find.” In Biology students are also responsible for memorizing the circulatory nervous sys- tem and the bone structure of the human and animal bodies. For some, the favorite section comes at the end of the semester when Mr. Risinger and Mr. Maple bring out the cutting tools and the piglets for a section on dissection. Throughout the year chemistry students apply theories to test situations in the lab. The question of responsibility for one’s chemical decisions and actions is stressed repeatedly by Mr. Plomaritis. In accor- dance with a “hands on” philosophy chem- istry students attend a one day trip to the NIPSCO generating station in Wheatfield for a personal look at chemistry in motion. The idea of responsibility is also stressed by Mrs. Prochno in Environmental Science. In this class Mrs. Prochno deals with pollu- tion controls and the development of the land. In April students attend a day at the Dunes for a “hands on” discussion and field trip with state naturalists. In Physics students are taught the logical math processes that are needed to complete minute equations in engineering, and other calculations. Freshman Sonya Wireman returns to her chair after asking a question. Mr. Plomaritis grades tests while sophomore Gary Tucker uses “hands on” activities with the computer. After finishing his assignment, Brian Wellons thinks wistfully of summer vacation. 58 Mr. Plomaritis, Dawn Bunning, Eric Olson, John Schneider and Matt Kremke await the grand prize announce- Mr. Plomaritis’s Chemistry class relaxes after a hard day of ment. work and study. Mr. Maple’s Biology class finishes up a new assignment. Mr Steve Maple Biology Mr. Tint Plomaritis Chemistry Physics Mrs. Sarah Prochno Mr. Tom Risinger Environmental Science Biology Ed Poisel waits patiently for the next assignment. Former Days Burst Alive In Our School; Community Social Studies brings the past into the present and opens news roads into the fu- ture. It is divided into United States Gov- ernment, Civics, and history. Government, under the direction of Mr. Larry Sakel and Miss Karen Robinson strives to bring the complex governmental system into the common man’s home. In Miss Robinson’s classes, students are re- quired to do a product analysis. In this pro- ject students are required to examine the cost and the durability of a product. Stu- dents are also responsible for a consumer survey. In U.S. History, Mr. Bolka and Mr. Daubenheyer combine print and broadcast media to present a realistic view of history in the making. Students view GONE WITH THE WIND to better understand the relationships of families and slaves dur- ing the Civil War. John Wayne movies de- pict life in the American West. Many stu- dents are surprised by the harsh realities and hard work that persons during this time period experienced. As history unfolds, the humor of the HONEYMOONERS and AMOS AND ANDY reflect the White- Black versions of life in the middle class. These situation comedies also reflect how people handled the hard times during the 1940’s and 1950’s. As the final month of school approaches students delve into the history of their life- time. Prejudice, the basis for the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement comes alive with the Peace Marches in Alabama and the subsequent assassinations of Black leader Martin Luther King, Jr. who fought for the Freedom of all men., President John F. Kennedy, and Senator Bobby Kennedy. Reports, study sheets, and tests complete the class offerings, as all teachers stress the United States and Its government. Jeff Pawlik takes a breather after his final exam. Mr. Sakel considers his lesson plan for the day. As Mr. Sakel asks a question about the definitions of various committees, students eagerly raise their hands to respond. 60 Amy Serhal, Nicki Barger, and Beth Kingma are in deep thought as they study for a Social Studies exam. Junior Robyn Risner checks over her history chapter study sheet. Mr. Tom Bolka Mr. Daubenheyer gives a lecture on Martin Luther King Junior and the Civil Rights Movement as the class absorbs the information. Miss Karen Robinson Mr. Jim Daubenheyer Mr. Larry Sakel 61 Home Ec Offers Designing To Creative Cooking; Crafts “I feel that our family structure has been breaking down in the past few years. We need to stress more family classes,” is the way Home Ec. instructor Mrs. Jennifer Schroeder sums up the reason for a govern- ment grant to investigate the possibility of a Family Life Education class at K.V. Mrs. Schroeder, a nurse Jennifer Tillema, and advisory board spend numerous hours re- searching the year-long process, which pre- cedes the board’s decision to institute such a program at K.V. Presently, a great deal of emphasis is giv- en to other Home Ec. classes such as the Foods series, which covers various types of foods and their preparations. Child Devel- opment is a family class which is probably best known for its “egg babies”, which gives students an idea of the responsibilities, limitations, and confiming situations of be- ing a parent. Sewing classes are also a vital part of the Home Ec. department. Clothing I covers basic construction, while Clothing II ex- pands on these principles with more diffi- cult projects. Home Economics classes are taught by Mrs. Schroeder, Mrs. Yeoman, Miss Well- maker, and student teacher Mrs. Pearce. 1 v Senior Robin Ballard, Junior Dawn Smith and Senior Shelly Eenhuistra check the temperature of their candy with a thermometer. Senior Jackie Riffe displays her cake in Advanced Foods. Senior Pollie Wireman cleans up after the Christmas luncheon. 62 Juniors Gene Cooper and Dusty Howard whip up a delicious frosting for their layer cake. In today’s society, Home Ec. classes are designed for both sexes. Senior Nancy Pettet checks instructions for the next cooking lab while Kristy Hamstra listens to an an- nouncement. Dave Horvath studies the intricate pattern of a weaving in Fibers. The class is designed to teach not only how” to but “why and when” you use certain fibers. 63 Industrial Arts Has Variety In Metals, Woods, Drafting Industrial Arts involves many areas in- cluding drafting, woodworking, auto shop, metals, and agriculture. Drafting students, taught by Mr. Hine, study and practice the aspects of graphic communication which is the step between design ideas and the products themselves. Mr. Henry teaches woodworking stu- dents to turn their ideas into reality through the medium of wood. He also stresses good quality as opposed to quantity in wood- working. Auto shop students learn from Mr. Hein- hold how to tear down engines, identify parts, and apply basic mechanics to auto- motive problems. Mr. Inman instructs agriculture students as to the facts related to soils, crops, live- stock, and agri-business. Aspects of metals is taught by Mr. Jen- kins. In this class, students learn to make metal projects including a tool box and joints. Due to the need for replacement of costly machines, the metal shop is scheduled to close its doors with the class of ’84. This step represents the need for a high school industrial arts department to stay techno- logically flexible in an evolving society. Sophomore Chuck Courtney adjusts the saw blade length in Woods I. Before beginning the saw. Chuck puts on his safety glass es. Seniors Dave Birky and Phil Garland work on a car engine in advance auto mechanics shop. Sophomore Dave Jones and Freshman Rob Arnold listen to Mr. Henry discuss the proper way to run a table saw. Freshman Ron Klauer checks his directions before beginning a project in Woods. Senior Jeff Warran washes a car in auto mechanics. A Senior Barry Ostler checks a fan belt for a customer. A shop fee of $2 is charged for shop services $2 donation is accepted for the job. 65 Business Area Has Variety Of Daily Office Procedures “Business is no longer a tiresome task. It is an exciting experience.” In 1983-84 the business department is going stronger than it ever has in the history of Kankakee Val- ley High School. The noises coming from each room spell success and determination. One hears the tapping of typewriters and adding machines while students learn to perfect their skills through outstanding ex- perience. Year in and year out more mod- ern business equipment is added to the ros- ter. Classes offered for business opportuni- ties include Accounting, Typing I and II, Personal Typing, General Business, Busi- ness Law, Intensive Office Lab, and Short- hand I and II.

Mrs. Myers, a renown artist throughout the Mid-West for her fine work, has inspired many students in her 23 wonderful years at K.V. Mrs. Myers feels that classes in Art are taught with several goals in mind. Not only do we want the students to enjoy and appre- ciate art, we also want them to explore their own minds for creative thoughts. A good example of the success of this fine program is the Art Show in the Spring where student art work is displayed and awards are given. During her final days at K.V., Mrs. Myers is granted permission to paint a his- torical mural in the school. Its dedication is the highlight of opening ceremonies for the Fine Arts Festival.

Not only is study hall a place a person can go to catch up on homework or study for a test, but there are many other activities that can be done during this time. Many students be- come office assistants or teacher’s aids. During the art shows or prom, students help set up and take down tables and decora- tions. The teacher for study hall is Mrs. Kenne- dy. She not only tries to keep students under control, but she also talks to her students. She is also known, for giving advice. She says the kids don’t always listen and she doesn’t expect them to, but when they ask, she always tells them how she feels. On the required side is P.E. Students are required to take two semesters of Physical Education. During this time, team sports such as football, volleyball, and soccer are played to teach the students the importance of working with others. For students who want to take more than the required courses, specialty classes in- cluding Advanced Weight Training, Aero- bics, and Gymnastics are offered for the upper classmen. These classes are designed to allow a student to specialize in an area. Sophomore Doug Hendon dribbles down the court for a little practice. Phy.

Travel To Captivating Lands While Expanding Horizons In Spanish, students learn a new lan- guage and explore another land while dis- covering ancient peoples and customs. Ac- cording to Mrs. Wiseman the Spanish language is one of the most widely used languages in the world. The Spanish culture has inundated our society. Music, arts, literature, food, and architecture reflect a Spanish theme. Men- udo is a number one group hitting the top ten with its version of popular favorites. Ta- cos, fried rice, burritos, and nachos with cheese flood the food market. Courtyards and iron decorations are seen on new build- ings throughout the country. Spanish is the key to versatility in the job market. Bi-lingual applicants are attractive additions to company pay rolls. In areas densely populated by Spanish speaking per- sons, street signs, and directions are pre- sented in their native language. Vacation manuals at tourist centers also have bro- chures available in Spanish. Moving outside the classroom, former and current Spanish students may apply their knowledge during Spanish club activi- ties. Club meetings are under the direction of President, Michele Van Schepen, Vice- President, Rob Kolanowski, Treasurer, Dave Knapik and Secretary, Kim Carra- bine.

Albert’s Gridders Compile 6-4 Season, Push Ball Over TD For 139 Points Tempos are an important part of gridder action.

The team comes back strong with a 47 point victory over Hebron only to lose a conference game to Lake Station by two. Four victories follow including a three point last minute break over Washington Township.

Opening the Festival is the dedication of the mural in the main entry way of the school. The mural, painted by Mrs. Myers, depicts four aspects of life in the Valley. These include Clubs, Academics, Sports, and Heritage. Displays excite the eyes of all who attend as art ranging from basket weaving and pottery to paintings and photography show off the talents of the students. Award for best exhibit of show go to Jeff DeYoung for his project in Ceramics. Oth- er first place awards go to Jon Myers for his beginning ceramics-hand built project. Be- ginning Ceramics first place award goes to Rick Nesius. First place Drawing awards go to Bruce Riley, Chris Castle, Rob Ko- lanowski, Kristina Larsson in Advanced Drawing. Kristina Larsson, Mike Book- waiter, and Bruce Riley win top drawing honors in Beginning Charcoal and Ink, Be- ginning Pencil, and Pastels, respectively. Sculpture awards go to Phil Garland, and Aaron Ebenroth. Denise Porter and Pat Kurdelak take top honors in Photography. First place Painting awards go to Chris Castle for his acrylic project, and Bryan Kerkes for his water color.

First place De- sign award goes to Michelle Craft, Pointa- lism award goes to Mark McBride. In the Color Wheel and Collage categories, first place awards go to Lori Hershman and Dawn Call, respectively. Not only are the eyes excited by art but music pleases the ears as on Friday the choir, directed by Mr. Glaser, and accompanied by Joanne Pettet brings joy to the listeners. For the patrio- tism in all is “God Bless America”; Jenny Nagel accompanies the light hearted “Froggy”; and a four part speaking chorus renders a number called “Used Car Lot”. Chorus members sing two popular favorites “Starmaker”, and “I Sing the Body Elec- tric”. If the ears have not had enough pleasure, on Saturday, the Symphonic and Jazz Bands, under the direction of Miss Melinda McKenzie bring an inspiring two hours of great music. They play the spirited tribute to the Air National Guard called appropri- ately “The Spirit of the Guard”, and “Pre- lude”, which is a commeration of the 25th anniversary of the Tri-State Music Festi- val. Switching to Broadway tunes they play selections from the smash-hit CATS such as “Overture”, “Skimbleshanks”, “The Railway Cat”, “The Old Gumbie Cat”, McCavity: “The Mystery Cat”, and “Memory”. The exciting: “Magestia”, a composition which was originally commis- sioned and dedicated to the Parker High School Symphonic Band in Parker, Colora- do, was well worth listening to. The Symphonic Band concludes with a stirring and very inspiring arrangement of “America the Beautiful”. The Jazz Band closes out the festivities with a truly exciting group of selections. For one of the numbers they borrow Mary Ann Morrison from the Chorus to do a vo- cal solo to “Send in the Clowns”. They also try their hand at “Truly” with a Trombone solo by Carol Schneider. “Go With the Wind” features Jim Belstra on his Trum- pet, and “Lunch at Golda’s Place” with three solos; Carol Schneider on Trombone, Steve Kooy on Alto Sax, and Jennifer Kes- singer on Alto Sax. The final number (not to mention two encores) bring down the house as first Robyn Risner on Tenor Sax and Jennifer Kessinger on the Alto Sax both have solos. Then Dave Hetrick, along with Mrs. Peggy Shaffer director at Taft Jr. H.S. and Maggie Grivetti, a graduate of Valpo High, have a duel to the end — a drum battle to end all drum battles. “Bad Burn in Pateau” will never be the same! All in all this is a festival that will live long in the memories of all who attend. Rob Kolanowski and Doug Mendyke check out the Junior Marsha McEwan sings to the audience in a swing choir number at the Fine Arts Festival, progress on Mrs. Myers’s mural. 147 Artists Treasure Shared Moments In Art Meetings Art Club strives to improve the quality of art appreciation through interaction and challenge.

We can put these goals be- hind us and make and accomplish new ones. One goal achieved this year, as a result of many hard working individuals is the 1 983- 84 KOUGAR PRIDE. I would like to thank each of these indi- viduals for a job well done. Linda Borchers for putting forth great effort in designing a superb Senior section; Kathy Angliss, Brenda Pearman, Jo Ann Pettet and Rhea Martin for a great job on the underclass- men section; Robin Ahlgrim, Brenda Van- derhere, Mary Bartus and Jim Raber for an outstanding job on the academics section; Romer Clark, Matt Batey, Rob Boonstra, Michelle Wayne, and Cassy Bengston for doing a superior job on the sports section; Tom Abbring and Keith Dykstra and Terry Allee for doing a fantastic job on the fine arts section; Rhonda Heinz, Tammy Neely, Debbie Mattia and Michelle Smith for an excellent job on the club section; Eric Olson and Jeff Allen for designing a great ad sec- tion. 1 would also like to thank Brandt Hershman and Sue Letko for an excellent job of photography.

A big thanks goes to my two co-editors Melissa Mitchell and Mike Batey for their fantastic effort, support and cooperation.
