They attend football games to get back in the ' groove ' of things. The new football coach, Mr. Mark Watts, coaches the team through a winning season and all the way to Regionals, a feat that has never before been achieved. Mr. Prochno ' s Cross Country team captures the limelight as they progress to state competition. Senior Kim Horvath is the first female to compete at the state level in KV’s history. Another first is achieved by the fine arts area when Mr. Albert recruits a few exceptionally talented students to present the short melodrama Farm- er ' s Daughter”. Even though the . new prime time” laws decree that entertainment is not al- lowed during school hours, Mr. Albert clears the play as an edu- cational tool. Students are thrilled by the humorous antics of seniors Robyn Risner, Dave Hetrick, Marsha McEwan and juniors Jenny Nagel and Keith Dykstra, and Mr. Albert as they once again prove that right wins over might. Doing things right comes naturally to junior musician Lisa Young, who achieves a chair in the All-State Band.

Opening 3 New And Improved Individual Expression Creates Strong Bonds Senior Marsha McEwan is the center of attraction at the Homecoming Dance. The freshmen crowd the halls looking for the familiar faces of old friends. They wander aimlessly trying to find their classes. Even though the freshmen are placed at the bottom of the totum pole, they make it to the top by winning the spirit stick during all pep sessions. The enormous size of their class is the winning factor. The sophomores, glad their freshman year is over, sit back and wonder if they looked as frightened and confused only one year ago. It all seems downhill as the juniors leave the little kid” status at home and move into the world of high tech’’. Labeled the lay back year”, juniors strive to ab- sorb as many facts as possible without admitting that they are really interested. Their success is apparent as they tackle the ju- nior-senior prom, career guid- ance tests, and the SAT. Seniors explode with the hon- ors their title allows them to ac- cept. The little fears of being lost, failing their first driving test or being caught in the senior locker area when they were only juniors fade in comparison to the lifetime decisions they must face. Finances are a key during the final year as class rings, gowns, announcements, jackets, pictures, mugs and memory books all vie for the dollars in their pocket. College entrance requirements, part-time jobs, references and life long relationships are often decided in the hallowed halls, classrooms and offices they have come to call home”. Senior Rhea Martin makes a quick break through the Junior defense for a first down. 4 Opening Spirited Kougars deck out in decorated garbage bags for sectional spirit week.

While following the athletic teams and musical groups, seniors watch with anticipation to see the class of ' 85 ' on the victorious side of competition. Whatever the seniors decide to do, they will do it well, because they have given a new-and- improved meaning to the word seniority”.

Juniors Learn That Responsibility Forms The Lasting Ingredient In Preparation For Life’s Highway Responsibility is the key of Mr. Sweigart s opening words to the class of 1986. Just one year separates the Jolly Jolly Juniors From the Realities of becoming independent through Graduation. The 209 Junior students are required to take Unites States History, and Junior English. The Junior class officers are, President, Barb Myers; Vice President, Sherri Fase; Treasurer, Chrissy Lucas, and Secretary, Elizabeth Grube. For the 1984 Homecoming, Jenny Nagel was escorted by Greg Stanton. Juniors sold maga- zines, and records to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Members of the class take an interest test to help them decide on a career. The test is also designed to point out certain interests they may have in a profession. Juniors who plan to attend college also face the PSAT ' S and the SAT ' S. These tests are de- signed to give a college information on a stu- dent ' s level of knowledge. Juniors quote, the most important thing to happen, during their year, is being able to ask someone to the Junior-Senior Prom. Junior class sponsors are Mr. Watts and Mrs. Zacher.

During the fall, elections play an important role in hallway conversation. As the nation reelects President Reagan for a second term, the teens unite behind Homecom- ing Court Sophomore representative April Van- derMolen. She is escorted by Ron Belstra. Dur- ing the Homecoming campaign, the sophomores get in the spirit by painting win- dows, lockers and signs. They also find that clean up can be just as much fun as decorating. The Class of ' 87 ' places second in locker decora- tions. The 210 member class is under the leadership of Amy Serhal president, Michele Smith vice president, Robin Hass secretary and Corinna Meeks treasurer. Honors are bestowed on Amy Serhal who receives the Hugh O ' Brien Fellowship Award and Shelly Kaluf who earns straight A’s during the first nine weeks. Throughout the year the sophomore class continues to gain momentum and experience through academic, extra curricular and athletic endeavors. Class activities are under the guid- ance of Mrs. Masten and Mr. Baker.

Exuberant Freshmen Win Contest Show Their Spirit With Pride New experiences plague the freshman class as they en ter a new world. According to Roby At- kins, being a freshman is not as hard as it is professed to be. More choices, selections, and freedoms are evident in high school life; and learning to handle them is a new experience in itself. The unity of the 294 students proves itself during Homecoming week as the freshmen win the Spirit Stick with their show of enthusiasm. The freshmen choose Kim Kennedy as Princess Candidate and Mark Orsburn as her escort. The young class is extremely active in sports and extracurricular activities. This class boosts 28% of its members involved in fall and winter sports. The class of ' 88 ' is the first class to meet some of the new state and school requirements. These include the need for 38 credits to graduate and the addition of World History to their schedule. Two of the hardest adjustments for freshmen, states Mrs. Stimple, Guidance Sec., is leaving the secure area of the Pod and going into the vast- ness of the high school. Another problem fresh- men encounter is delegating their time in be- tween classes. The class is under the direction of Kim Ken- nedy, Pres.; Rhonda Hart, V.P.; Tracy Ailes, Tres.; and Tracy Hunter, Sec. The class sponsors, Sarah Miller and Ann Krejsa, provide the class with their leadership.

Division 73 Freshman Mark Craig practices the soccer technique of bumping the ball from knee to knee. Teachers Stress Proper English Through Composition; Conversation peeches are done in every English classroom from Freshmen to Seniors. No matter how many speeches you seem to do, practically everyone still gets speech fright” or peers jitters.” Mr. Albert ' s Speech and Debate class tries to overcome these fears by getting everyone in class involved as much as possible, which means at least one speech per week. Because of this, our students are gaining a great deal of poise and self-confi- dence when in a speaking situation, comment- ed Mr. Albert. Everyone has a special pet peeve and in Soph- omore English classes students share their com- plaints in an organized speech. The most com- mon pet peeves are when someone smokes in a car or cracks gum. In the creative writing section of Mrs. Crosby’s class, students write and pro- duce their own play. The plays are over a contro- versial issue and the students are to state the facts, supply examples, and bring the play to a satisfactory conclusion. Freshman students encounter grammar and sentence structure for one semester and English Lit. for another full semester. The English Litera- ture classes do research papers on various au- thors, an oral report, read Romeo and Juliet, and write a fairy tale. Junior English students com- plete research papers, speeches and read Huck Finn. Although English is required, the staff lends a great deal of variety to the grammar and litera- ture assignments.

It provides excitement for the freshmen who have their first taste of actual alge- bra. For Seniors Calculus and Trigonometry pro- vide a real challenge. A new class is Introductory Algebra which covers algebra in two years in- stead of one. Some of the other classes are Plane Geometry in which students study the nature of mathematics by .proving theorems and learning new terms and definitions. Also there are junior and senior related classes which are helpful for college. They included Advanced topics in Math which reviews concepts from previous class and applies them to higher levels. In Analytic Geom- etry Techniques of algebra are applied to geo- metric figures. The student also deals with conic and polar coordinates. Seniors that wish to pre- pare for college usually take a semester of Trigo- nometry and a semester of Calculus. Mr. Abbr- ing head of the department summed up the area by saying, We offer a program that is largely college prep.” There is a new teacher this year Mrs. Chastain who instructs Introductory Alge- bra and Applied Math. Veteran teachers are Mr. Abbring who instructs Geometry, Academic Al- gebra, and Trigonometry. Mr. Orsburn who in- structs Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Mrs. Gross instructs Academic Algebra, and In- troductory Algebra. Mrs. Roberts instructs Aca- demic Algebra I, II, III, IV. What great mathematician contributed the most to both Science and Math from 1915 - 1950 ? Albert Einstein What is the name of the number system using the symbols 1 and 0?

Freshman Pam Whited watches Mrs. Roberts explain a cal- culation on the blackboard. Students Use Facts, Research, Labs Discover Answers To Problems cience, a useful subject, is a prominent class at KVHS. Students can take a wide range of classes. Freshmen are required to take Academic Biology or General Biology. After that the choice is up to them. Without science our world would be very small. In fact without science research there would not be such marvels as nuclear power, electricity, or fossil fuels. But what is Science? Science is the answer to the very simple and very complex problems of today. It can be found in farming. The farmer checks the P.H. of the soil to find out what he can grow. It can also be found in backyard pools where owners put chemicals into the water to make it safe to swim in. These are some of the possibilities of the knowledge acquired in Chem- istry and Physics. Classes that Sophomores, Ju- Q. When do Baily’s Beads appear in the sky? A.

Entomol- ogy is the study of insects. The class project entails the capture and display of insect speci- mens. Genetics involves the study of D.N.A. (deoxyribonucleic acid) and R.N.A. (ribonucleic acid) and cell development. Environmental sci- ence presents the adaptations and environments of animals to their surroundings. Also the class has an April field trip to the Dunes. Veteran teachers are Mr. Risinger who instructs Aca- demic Biology, Entomology and Genetics, Mr. Maple who instructs Academic Biology, and Mrs. Prochno who instructs Academic Biology and Environmental Science. New to the Science team is Mrs. Slaby who instructs Academic Biol- ogy and General Biology. Q. How many varieties of twins are there? A.

Sophomore Tim Lorenzen examines a specimen in microbi- ology where he studies the external features of microscopic life. Freshmen Scarlet Yoder, Scott Musch and Laura Molchan dissect a frog to learn about its internal anatomy. Dissection is an integral part of the biology program. 78 Science Sophomore Chandi Yates gets hands on training as she studies a specimen on a slide in microbiology. In this class students also use the microscope to study the growth in their petri collections. Freshmen Kelly Williams and Laurie Odle enjoy themselves as they examine a frog in Academic Biology- Science 79 Lecturing and class discussions take a major role in psychol Facts of Nation’s Ways Today Correspond With Long Agos orld History does not only involve the study of nations but, of the people of these nations and their distinct cul- tures. Beginning with the first recording of histo- ry, you learn how cultures have developed. You also read about the rise and fall of great and vast empires. One extension of learning other cultures is the ability to understand and better relate to the people and those nations. In World and U.S. History you learn about other people’s mistakes. Knowing this, it is the dream of historians that future societies will not repeat others misfor- tunes. In order to visualize this theory, Mr. Bol- ka’s history classes returned to 1847 where they took” a trip over the Oregon Trail from Inde- Who was Richard Nixon’s Chief of Staff during the final da)S of Water Gate?

It is vital for a young voter to know the me- chanics of our nation. In Government, students explore the process upon which the government of this great nation is based. Extensive coverage of the ' 84’ election is included in this course up to the casting of the electoral votes in which President Reagan wins in a landslide victory. The intricate network of economics is thor- oughly discussed in Economics class. The mone- tary system of the U.S. is deciphered from stocks and bonds to world grain prices.

Business Department Holds Key To Career Opportunities rom squiggly lines to computer cur- sors, the business department com- bines the age-old art of shorthand with the modern technique of word processing. Under the direction of Mr. Herman Walden, the students are taught the legal aspect of business in Business Law class. Accounting I is another class taught by Mr. Walden in which students learn the planning, keeping, analyzing, and interpret- ing of orderly business records. Also covered in Accounting II are typical accounting systems for controlling vouchers, petty cash, and inventory. The Kankakee Valley School Corporation re- gretfully says their good-byes to Mr. Walden who retires this year. He has taught school for twenty-eight years. The major objective of Mr. Gary DeHaven s General Business class is to improve economic citizenship of K.V. ' s students through a study of the economic systems, the roles of business, and the development of an understanding of the use of credit, investment, and insurance. Transcription techniques are examined in Mrs. Dee Fritch ' s Shorthand class. In Intensive Office Lab, students learn the duties commonly required of a secretary and of other office work- ers. Students develop specific job competencies by using materials, standards, and equipment found in the employing community. Personal Typing, under the direction of Mr. Jerry Hale, is designed to give the student a working knowledge of keyboard operation, the operating parts of a typewriter, and the applica- tion of the typewriter to situations commonly encountered at home or at school. Typing I develops touch operation of key- board characters and proper manipulation of op- erating parts through skill building drills for speed and accuracy. Typing II combines basic applications of keyboarding with language arts and develops speed with accuracy in preparation of typewritten materials. Typing III builds upon previously learned skills from Typing II to devel- op occupational competencies. Typing IV pro- vides realistic practice on typing tasks found in a typical office using business forms commonly used in these business offices. Approximately 40 jobs are provided for the student to indepen- What was the largest life insurance pay- out on a single life?

Typing III and IV are taught by Mrs. Diane Zacher. Mrs. Diane Zacher teaches Office Procedures which is a study of the duties commonly re- quired of a secretary and of other office workers. It also involves a survey of office related services that secretarial and clerical personnel will be ex- pected to use. In October a speaker from The International Business College comes to K. V. to give a presen- tation on the career opportunities, job availabil- ity, job placement, and training which are of- fered at the college level. Other related activities include a computer demonstration which is given by Mr. Ron McA- tee in March.

The Foods classes build upon each other. Food s I students start out with the making of quick breads. Coffee cakes and baked goods using Bisquick are completed with varying re- sults. The students discover that a mix-up with ingredients can cause unfavorable results. Later, in the Foods I books, students study beef, how to recognize tender and less tender beef, learning the cuts of beef, and finally how to cook it. Jelly rolls and sponge cakes are made in Foods II class with some degree of success. Mrs. Yeo- men remarks, The class has found that all groups using the same recipe can get a wide variety of results.” The art of making homemade cake is being taken over by commercial cake mixes, therefore, the students learn to make scratch cakes.

Interact Serves Students; County Throughout Year Interact is a service club to the school and the community. It holds three major service pro- grams through the year: a tutoring program, a little brother — little sister program, and a Christ- mas and Thanksgiving food drive. Lori Jabaay organizes the tutoring program. She assigns one tutor to each student seeking school help. Many students have benefited from this program. Members assist Middle School students in their little brother — little sister pro- gram. They listen to problems the middle schoolers may have and also help them in their school work. One of the major events of the year is the distribution of 40 Christmas food baskets and 28 Thanksgiving food baskets. Members, also, sponsor a Choir Concert early in the year. With the help of advisor Mr. Hughes and President Jennifer Green, Interact is able to serve the school in many ways. Interact Row 1: D. Stonecipher, L. McLean, D. Stonecipher, P. Falbo.J. Green, C.

Art Club 115 Future Homemakers Hold Successful Food Drive Future Homemakers of America (FHA) is de- signed to help members attain personal and vo- cational growth in a family atmosphere. In order to gain and maintain membership in the national organization, FHA members must organize a fund raiser, a service project, and numerous club activities. In order to achieve membership, a can- didate must be currently enrolled in a home economics class or have had a home economics class. Throughout the year, students attend weekly meetings which are under the direction of Presi- dent Barb Walstra and Vice-President Debbie Williams. Recording the events is the job of Michele Peters. Keeping track of the clubs deb- its and credits falls to treasurer Lorie Cornet. Publicizing the clubs events and maintaining a Junior Barb Walstra loads frozen turkeys in her hatch for the annual FHA Christmas food drive. scrapbook of activities keeps public relations correspondent historian Sue Letko busy throughout the year. Fundraisers include Valentine’s Day Carna- tion sales, a dance in November, and the annual chocolate chip drive. Through these projects the club makes enough money to support their ac- tivities. In December, the members launch a vigorous effort to collect food supplies for the Jasper County needy families. Food boxes appear in classrooms and the main office as the club en- courages students to share their wealth with the less fortunate. Monetary donations are used to buy more expensive protein items and meat. The drive nets enough food to supply twenty-two families with holiday supplies. With this little touch of kindness, Christmas is happier for many families. During the national celebration of FHA week in February, special activities are brought to a halt as snow closes roads and schools for almost an entire week. The club did manage to dress up their club colors of red and white and also sell carnations. As summer approaches, Sponsor Mrs. Schroeder and FHA members plan a picnic to celebrate the end of another successful year. It is during this time that next year’s officers are elected. These officers are expected to attend many conferences during the year including the 1984 Merrillville conference and the 1985 Wheel- er conference attended by this year’s FHA mem- bers and officers.

Simulations Members At Play Use Their Minds Every Day Simulations Club broadens a student’s mind with games that require a high degree of strategy. Members use board games, computer games, and role playing games to simulate life-like situa- tions that the students must get through. Some games require students to search for and use clues to gain a victory. Strategy, thought, and sometimes force are needed to obtain a strategic position in the game. Simulations Club has a Gamathon during Christmas break. The Gamathon is held in Presi- dent Frank Ebenroth ' s house. The Gamathon is designed to raise money for club activities. Stu- dents take pledges from sponsors and earn mon- ey by keeping awake for a maximum of 72 hours. During this time, members thrive on video games, role playing games, and junk food. Simulations Club is led by dedicated officers President Frank Ebenroth, Vice President Dave Sayers, Secretary Myles Dybcio, and Treasurer John Schneider. Club sponsor, Mr. Bolka, feels, The club allows students to participate in dif- ferent roles and get experience that they other- wise would not get. It also gives them a better understanding of historical events.” A new addition to this year ' s collection of games is the computer game Wizardry. High resolution graphics and complicated mazes make this game a challenge to anyone who dares to p lay.

Math Club Prepares Students For Academics; Life; Competition Math Club is off to a new start. The Club is set on improving the student ' s skills in each of the four math levels. Math Club has set a goal to attend the ICTM testing. With the extra study, students will be able to do well in this test and on the statewide ICTM test. It will also help them to excell in their academic responsibilities. When asked. Junior Jim Raber said that going down to take the test is a blast!” He felt, howev- er, that the club is definitely needed for a student to do well on the tests. Jim said that the test was very difficult and what was learned in the class- room was just not enough. The Math Club also prepares the juniors and seniors for the PSAT and the SAT. The math portion of these tests has proved a challenge for students in the past. Extensive work in prepara- tory books have proved to be resourceful. These books are also used as study guides for the fresh- men and sophomores. The club sponsor, Mr. Norm Abbring, feels that the students who attend the testing should feel honored that they can represent both their school and its Math Department. The students who attend the testing show a high aptitude in their respective math classes. These students are referred to Mr. Abbring by their math teachers when they see that the stu- dent is excelling. Mr. Abbring hands out the PSAT STUDY GUIDES at the start of the meeting. These guides are the major tool in the curriculum of advanced math studies. Math Club: Row 1 — Sheila Dobson, Rhonda Hart, Barb Pardee, Marie Leach, Dana Phelps, Shelley Kaluf, Jo Ellen Grube.

Varsity Members Work Hard To Maintain Physical Prowess Varsity Club has formed a Wall of Fame which contains Lettermen and Letterwomen who have obtained an all conference champion- ship standing. These walls, which are located outside the gym, were organized by 1984 presi- dent, Kathy Kros. Under the leadership of spon- sors Mr. Tim Albert and Mr. Bruce Hardy, the first wall was completed in the summer of 1984. Club members were organized into commit- tees to research the identity of past conference winners. Members have plans to create addition- al Wall of Fame areas to accomodate athletes from the 1970’s to the 1980 ' s. Senior Tom Davis is once again right on top of things as he attempts to win another wrestling match. In order to achieve All Conference standing, an athlete must excel in his division and show outstanding sportsmanship in competition. Consequently, members of the Varsity Club run, hit, shoot, spike, and sweat to retain their physical condition. Members are distinguished by the colorful letterman jackets that they wear. Their will power to succeed is shown by their hard work and determination. Night after night they stay after school to obtain high achieve- ment. Sometimes they give up their weekends to bring honor to both themselves and their school. Senior Brenda Tillema jumps high to make the tip-off. Senior Jay Hoffman gets into position to gain two more points. 132 Varsity Club Varsity Club: Row 1: Mr. Hardy, Bret Belanger, Tom Bell, lema, Randy Barrett, Bret Huber, Kim Ailes, Kelly cio, Steve Dobson, Brian Systma, Kenny Irwin, Jay Hoffman, Matt Rhoades, David Garland, Tom Sawyer, Bill McEwan, DeYoung, Michelle Kaper, Dave Jones, Row 3: Rob Dyb Rich Murchek, Rod Huber, Dennis Jungels.

Two points may only mean one basket but those two little points can mean victory as in the 37-35 South Newton game or defeat in the 41-43 North Judson outing. Hearts are broken and throats are sore when those two little points become only one in a marginal defeat during Sectional competition. The girls varsity team has a winning season with a 14-6 record and a 4-1 Conference record. In the varsity season Jennifer Green has most assists and best free throw percentage, Brenda Tillema has most rebounds and scores most points while the best defensive player is Barb Myers. The efforts of these outstanding mem- bers gain recognition at a winter sports banquet where these girls are presented with awards. The varsity Lady Kougar team is under the training of Coach Bill Orsburn and assistant Coach Kathy McKibben. The junior varsity Lady Kougars, under the direction of Kathy McKibben, compiles an out- standing 14-2 record breaking season. They set new records including: best field goal percent- age, most field goals, most free throws made, best free throw percentage, most points, most assists and most wins. These goals are achieved with the help of four remarkable players. Amy Serhal receives recognition for most assists, Kel- ly Myers earns best free throw percentage, and Cami Wiers has most steals. Diane Tillema is recognized for most rebounds. Phenomenal is the word to describe the fresh- man Lady Kougars 6-0 season record. According to Coaches Orsburn and McKibben, teamwork is the strength which unifies this new concept in competition in high school basketball. No matter what the age, the Lady Kougars prove that Victory is Sweet.” 154 Basketball Girls Varsity Basketball: Row 1: N. Barger, L. Gourley, C. McKibben, B. Myers, D. Tillema, B. Tillema, K.

Basketball 157 Coach Prochno exchanges a hand shake with the losing coach after a grueling meet. Wrestlers Grab 8-11 Season Sectional Crown Brings Joy To some coaches an 8-11 season would seem disappointing, but to coach Prochno bringing home the sectional crown is enough to turn gloom into glory. Three of his wrestlers Matt Rhoades, Shawn Tilev, and Matt Kolanowski place first in sectional action. Consequently the young team advances to regional competition but is overpowered by many veteran wrestlers. In order to attain this berth, the boys must spend a great deal of time at practice. Their practices are tough and those who can- not handle it soon drop out. Body carries, calis- thenics, stretches, weight lifting, and jogging are essential elements in their fitness program. Even though they spend hours learning techniques of pinning, taking, and grappling their opponents to the mat the opening of the season meets numerous personal defeats. Coach Prochno re- taliates with practices aimed at revitalizing the determination of his wrestlers. The plan works as the grapplers capture five of their final six con- frontations. Although they lose their conference crown to Lake Station, they capture the coveted sectional crown. Individual awards are given at the end of the season at the Winter Sports Banquet. Junior Matt Rhoades is named Captain, Most Dedi- cated, and Most Valuable Wrestler. The Rookie of the Year Award is given to Matt Kolanowski for his fine season as a first year varsity wrestler. These men are under the direction of head Coach Prochno and assistant Coach Jenkins. Varsity and J.V. Wrestling Row 1: M. Debshaw, C. Nabors, L. Greathouse, C. Hoover, D. Myers, R. Bult, V. Malia, D.

This is proven by an overall track record of 36 wins and 6 losses. The team also places first in conference with a record of 5-0. To achieve this outstanding season record, each member must stand rigorous training which includes several calisthenics, running many miles, and developing mental concentration. Al- though each member experiences the satisfac- tion of competing, only few get recognized for their efforts. At a spring sports banquet awards are given to certain team members for their excellent track performances.

Cheerleaders UW CURRENT EVENTS The Year In Review . . . The 1984-85 school year is filled with history making events. First off are the Olympics in Los Angeles. After months of preparing, the city of Los Angeles watches the two week period fly by. Mary Lou Retton captures the hearts of millions as she scores two perfect tens in vaulting for a gold medal in gymnastics. After two weeks of constant Olympic cover- age, TV viewers are given one week before the Democratic and Republican National Conven- tions which are telecast for another grueling two weeks. During the Democratic National Con- vention Week news races through the country, as Geraldine Ferraro is nominated as Walter Mon- dale’s running mate. The first woman to ever hold the position of a vice presidential candi- date. During the presidential campaign a debate is held between vice presidential candid ates George Bush and Geraldine Ferraro. The coun- try is impressed with the way Ferraro presents herself and the issues. However, in the Novem- ber election, Reagan beats Mondale in the larg- est landslide ever. Although the country is defi- nitely impressed with Walter Mondale ' s choice of running mate, they are not ready for such a change. Meanwhile, history is being made in space. A space shuttle is sent up to successfully repair a satellite. Also Sally Ride is the first woman to travel into space. During the following week, doctors are re- placing the human heart of Baby Fae with a Baboon Heart. Baby Fae lives for 21 days before dieing of kidney failure. While one heart transplant fails, another takes its place as William Schroeder receives a me- chanical heart. Although he suffers a stroke and numerous bouts of depression, he is still living. Reports say Schroeder went fishing with his fam- ily a few weeks ago. Heart transplants and me- chanical hearts, such as thejarvic 7, are becom- ing a definite reality and will lead the way to life for many. As the lives of many are being saved, one man’s life is being turned around. Gary Dotson, a convicted rapist, is let out of prison on bond after his victim, Cathy Webb states publicly that she lied six years ago. Cathy Webb wants Dotson freed. In court, circuit judge Richard L. Samuels rules that Gary Dotson be sent back to prison. At the time of this writing, Gary Dotson is still in prison and Cathy Webb says she is going to keep trying for his freedom. Dotson ' s lawyers are filing appeals to judge Samuels decision. Also in Illinois, over 10,000 residents are stricken with salmonella poisoning. Blue Brook and Hill Farm milk and dairy products sold by a Chicago area Jewel Food store are found to be infected with salmonella bacteria. Four people have died and many are hospitalized. The salmo- nella poisonings are being called the worst epi- demic in Illinois history. Health officials are stumped as to cause. People in Africa are stricken with a worse disease, starvation. Food, clothing, and medicine are collected nation wide and are sent to the country. American greatest pop stars compose the song We Are The World.” All of the money made from this project is sent to Africa. The group includes such stars as Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Cyndi Lauper, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, and many others. The group is called United Support of Artists for Africa (USA Africa). This project was the largest charitable benefit yet. As National news flourished, the local scene made history in various areas. The Kankakee Valley School year began without a superinten- dent. Soon after, Iran Floyd, is chosen. Mr. Floyd is from Caston School Corporation in Fulton County. Mr. Floyd is pressed with many prob- lems as he entered his position. Construction of the elementary schools delayed school for chil- dren for the first week. The original graduation date of May 24 is disputed and petitions are distributed and signed. The school board voted to change the graduation date to May 19. A disputed issue is the Family Life Program. The program was put together by Mrs. Schroeder and Mrs. Tillema. The class was to be mandatory and contain sex education chapters. The Family Life Program is the most controversial issue since the referendum. After many weeks of de- bating, the school board votes unanimously not to start the program. School board member Eldon Butch” Jeffries resigns and Ruth Hanewich is voted to fill Jef- fries position. Ruth is the first woman to hold a position on the school board. Outside of the school other problems arise in the community. Kapers Building Materials of- fice and show floor building completely burn to the ground. The front office records and files are saved, however, the blueprint and design office files could not be saved. The fire is believed to be started by a small space heater. Business resumed the next day and construction of a new building is started within weeks. In February the area is paralyzed by the big- gest snow storm of the year. Residents are snowed in for three to four days. Many of which have to have food brought to them by snow mobile or snow plows. In the northern counties, residents are arrested if they are on the roads for any reason except hospital emergency. Students are kept home from school for four days follow- ing the storm. March is filled with more of mother nature’s problems. As the snow melted, area residents are once again troubled by floods. US 231 is closed for two weeks. When it opens, a one mile stretch is kept to one lane. Gravel and dirt covers the remaining lane to keep the water from rising onto the road. Many farmers are kept from their fields because of standing water. During this time Indiana legislature passes a Seat Belt law which requires residents to use their seat belts while driving.

Students Visualize Improvements In Academic; Physical Areas The 1984-85 school year brought some New And Improved changes to the Kougar Pride Staff. This year Mass Media or yearbook was added to KV ' s curriculum. This made it unnec- essary for after school meetings. This change also brought us many new staffers. I would like to thank the Kougar Pride Staff for a job well done. Thanks go to Brenda Pear- man and Kathy Angliss for a great job with the designing of the senior section; Rhea Martin and Keith Dykstra for a wonderful job with the Stu- dent Life section; Sharon Borsits for an excellent job with the underclassmen and sports sections; Yvette Pierson for her great assistance to Sharon with the sports section; Brenda Vanderhere and Jim Arwood for a splendid job on the academic section; Matt Allee and Dennis Hurt for a great job with the underclassmen section; Rob Kolan- owski for his great effort on the ads and design- ing an outstanding cover for the ’85 Kougar Pride; Jim Raber for his effort with the clubs section; JoAnn Pettet for lending a helping hand when she had any spare time; Shannon Nesius for her excellent effort with the sports section. A big thanks goes to Mr. Sweigart, Mrs. Mor- rison, Mrs. Klapp and the faculty and coaches for all the help they gave. I would like to thank my parents for their constant support and encouragement. Also a big thanks to our company representa- tive, George Kingsley Jr. He was always there to answer our many questions. Last, but definitely not least I want to thank a lady I could have not done without. She put up with me and my procrastination throughout the year and still kept a smile.
