XV Whether dressed in red and white or sprouting the CATS craze. Senior Beth Kingma, Ms. Brown and Sophomore Kelly Conley revel in the K.V. spirit . The Fierce fighting quality of the Kougars comes alive on the battle ground as the Kougar head on the gym floor intimidates the enemy. Junior Myles Dedshaw says that the country isn ' t safe for Kougar opponents as he points out where the team captured fourth in state competition. But, don’t let all of this fool you, students at K.V. are like any other average teenagers, going to prom and Dairy Queen, wearing tee-shirts and sun glasses, and displaying another form of pride and loyalty by listening to Bruce Springstein’s Born in the U.S.A. Opening 1 KOUGAR PRIDE IS . . . The teens of Wheatfield, Demotte, Fair Oaks, and 13 additional towns bind to form Kankakee Valley High, the heart beat of the community. Although there are distinctive differences be- tween these towns, the school as a whole makes an impact not soon to be forgott en by others. Teachers, students, and the administrators create the spirit and add color to the life of the school. Through these experiences individuals are brought together and united as one. New excitement is generated through K.V. as the Cross Country Pride paws its way to the top ranking in the top ten in the state. The Senior powder puff team didn’t go to state but, proved to be skilled enough to claim victory as Beth Lucietta presents the golden football to the prin- cipal, Mr. Metzger. During the close game, Ju- nior Paul Butler supports both teams, buying refreshments at the booth run by athletic boost- ers. Athletics is not the only love of cross coun- try runner, Matt Kolanowski who dons clothing of the 60’s to fulfill his love child theme” for Halloween. While some try to enhance the beau- ty of the school, like Matt, others turn to the school ground’s own natural beauty. On the way home after school activities, breath taking sun sets are often seen by weary students. The color of the school is vividly seen as the lights shine on the fields and glance off the scarlet helmets. Student Life 3 KV Kougars Endure 28-0 Defeat; Barbara Myers Reigns as Queen Kougars sought action against the No. 1 rated North Judson Blue Jays only to find that the Blue Jays weren’t just flapping their wings. Even though Homecoming was lost, 28-0, the week of Homecoming, Sept. 22-28, was a harvest of fun. The Homecoming was celebrated with a spirit week and locker decoration contest. The Seniors reaped first place receiving $50.00 for the class treasury and the Juniors took second receiving $25.00 for the class treasury. The prize money is given by the Athletic Boosters.

Cross Country 1 1 Kougar Pride Is . . . Senior Sheri Fase pushes herself in order to prepare for the not so far off future. Sheri is not the only one with incentive, Sophomore Marla Terbotg is selected as KV ' s recipient of the Hugh O’Brien Scholarship. This scholarship ' s main purpose is to seek out and reward leader- ship potential in high school sophomores. Lead- ership is one quality that only some of us possess and others similar to Freshman Dean Seagers, are just happy being one of the crowd as he heads off to his next class. Chemistry class is one class in which all stu- dents are able to demonstrate leadership quali- ties through performing various experiments. Senior Chrissy Lucas smiles as her crystle experi- ment turns out exactly like it should have. Senior Keith Dykstra and Julie Hessling are smiling for a different reason, as they re-read Keith ' s year- book copy that didn ' t happen to turn out just right. Error is one thing that juniors Tina Holwin and Shelly Kaluf can ' t afford to have in their literary works, which will be sent to the National Council of Teachers of English. According to Mrs. Crosby, English department Chairperson, Tina and Shelly were chosen for their individual abilities to respond well to an audience, to devel- op a point, and to maintain a unique and uniform writing style.” For Junior Rhonda Hart maintaining uniform and correct answers in geometry is her main objective. Uniqueness is also a feature of Kougar Kountry as the bold colors of the leaves along the Kankakee River bank reflect and blend with the deep blue colors of the river. In contrast to the tranquility of the river’s hues is the action- packed existence of K.V.’s underclass. Decked out in casual attire freshmen Chris Shaffer and Bob Motyka check out the way it was in the 1985 Pride. Checking things out is what it’s all about as Sophomore Angel Holloway and Senior Roy Higgerson spend a little time after school while the library is open for those students who want to study for finals or have a little peace and quiet. If peace and quiet is what the bus drivers are looking for, they ' d better find another profes- sion as rowdy, rowdy Kougars climb aboard the bus for an enthusiastically charged bus ride. Student Life 13 Kougar Pride Is . . . . . .JUST HAVING FUN, Tracy De Hahn, Shelia Pigg, Peggy Pettet, and Andrea Nannega, hug a real cool dude, polar bear, (Tammy Da- cus). Sophomore Tracy Ailes enjoys sprucing up K.V. with a little color as she clowns around and gets a few laughs from her peers. When Senior Joe Snow explodes on the scene, sporting his tracer gun, he leads The Spirit” staff to sell newspapers making an effort to conquer the ig- norance of people everywhere. Joe is not the only one leading an invasion following, Silent Inva- sion” the top performing group at K.V. Freshman Deana Clark ' s pride shows through as she and her friend, Seniorjoanne Pettet add to the momentum of varsity football regionals. Ex- hibiting how one feels isn ' t rare at K.V. as Mrs. Masten captures first place in the Halloween competition. Atypical is the format of the day as Halloween contestants, J. Van Kley,J. Slager, T. Ailes, 1 . Dacus, M. Smith, and J. Urahan, brave the smiles of friends to capture top honors. Friends are what it’s all about as Junior Mary Ellen Beata s friends throw her a surprise sweet sixteen party. Although Trina Parker’s friends aren t as lively, she loves her Cabbage Patch doll and Care Bear just the same as she shows them off on costume day. Even though he doesn’t have a teddy bear, Principal Metzger knows that dressing for warmth is the key to enjoying a good football game. Selling tickets to Junior Jacob Hawkins and his brothers is just one ex- tra” of his administrative position. Student Life 15 Kougar Pride Is . . . Organizing the advertisements for the yearbook is Senior Robin Ahlgrim ' s job. Robin also handles the business aspect of the yearbook.

Junior Chris Walstra doesn ' t sell ice cream but, instead rents video tapes to the ever growing teen movie addicts. When some students are stuffing their face with junk food while watching their favorite movies, Freshman Dale Eenigenburg is not only working, but is also braving the winter weather that comes with the jovial Christmas season, The Kougars want to proclaim their own holiday as the K.V. Spirit sweeps over the crowd and unites them for one purpose — victory. INDIVIDUAL UNITY Student Life 17 4 Kougar Pride Is . . . dirt roads which wind through Kougar country on the daily bus route. Sometimes those rides start too early for some- one like John Van Kley, who has the early morn- ing blues and wishes he was back home in bed. Although Seniors Matt Rhoades, Kim Ailes, and Holly De Y oung, aren’t wishing they were home, they are dreaming of traveling to Germany as they learn about Deutschland in their foreign language class. Even though for the most part dreams never become a reality, Junior Jill Szekely realizes her dream on paper. 18 Academics ACADEMICS Academics 19 First year German student Scott Musch works on his Ger- man test. Tests are given after every two lessons. Deutsch Macht Spass German Is Fun Wie ist das wetter heute? Es ist zehr kolt, states Mrs. Masten as she comments on the weather. As the day progresses students learn more than just expressions. They also learn about the fatherland, its peoples and its customs. First year German students learn basic words and phrases such as, Lachelst wenn du Deutsch sprichst!” Its meaning is, Smile when you speak German, and Es ist sechs minuten nach dri” or 3:06. Another phrase taught is Ich heisse Frau Masten.” The phrases are coupled with colloqui- al expressions to form German essays. Remind- ers are placed throughout the room especially on the bulletin board which is used to depict a phrase or theme in German. Putting theory into practice found senior Lori Liss applying her German major in England and Scotland where she met a few German students last summer. When asked what she thought of her trip she stated, I learned a lot and met really fun people. It taught me to be independant and to try to get along with a lot of different people.” German club offered to 3rd and 4th year stu- dents has at least two special events each year. This years events included a pizza party and the annual Christmas party. German club also of- fered a $100 scholarship for any college bound 3rd or 4th year student. The winner was senior Katy Morrison who plans to major in German. Class content and activities are highlighted by the presence of exchange students Ravi Dessai and Roy Madsen. Junior Kevin Whitaker points to a real German castle nestled among the Bavarian Alps. 20 German German Club: Row 1: S. Nemcek, D. Pilarski, M. Williams, J. Bauser, P. Falbo, A. Hart, T.

German 21 English Department Offers Wide Variety of Classes In every English class you must do a speech, but no matter how many you do, you always experience some form of stage fright. In Mrs. Young’s Speech and Debate class, you learn what stage fright is and how to control it. Also, in this class, you must do a thirty minute Debate Oral Interpretation. Freshman students encoun- ter their first major grammar and Literature courses. In these classes, the students must do speeches and a research paper. Sophomores get to voice their opinions in a Pet Peeve” speech. Also, in this course, there is a Creative Writing section. Junior students get to discover the the- ater and see the play Oedipus Rex”. Many stu- dents enjoyed the play and thought that the stage was spectacular. Juniors also have to do a research paper, a speech, and read at least one classic. English Department also offers a core class which is English and History combined. Included in the English Department are the Jour- nalism and Mass Media classes. In Journalism, you work on the Spirit staff and in Mass Media you work on the Pride staff. Mrs. Crosby teaches both of these classes. The English Department classes are taught by Mr. Mordaunt, Mrs. Cros- by, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Krejsa, Miss Jenkins, Mrs. Eckert, Ms. Brown, and Mrs. Young who re- placed Mr. Albert in November. Mr. Albert re- signed his position to become manager and di- rector of the Bridge VU Theatre in Valparaiso.

Not only do students in Spanish I learn words and phrases, they also learn about La vida en Espana (life in Spain) and of many Spanish heroes. These people include Ro- berto Clemente, Ceasar Chevez, and Rita Mor- eno. Hacer la Tarea! yells Mrs. Wiseman as some of her Spanish III and IV students decide it’s time to take a break! Spanish III and IV is offered to any student who did exceptionally well in first and second year Spanish. Spanish Club is offered to any student taking Spanish I through IV. For- eign Exchange student Camie Germann, who is from Cambodia, talked to the club about her country, its people, and its customs. She also talked about what she thought of America and how American customs differed from Cambo- dia’s. When Spanish club member Julie Henke was asked what she thought about Camies pre- sentation she replied, ”1 thought it was very inter- esting” also she replied, I took Spanish and joined the club because I thought it would be fun to be able to speak a foreign language and besides Me egrada Espanol.” Also members of Spanish club learn Spanish songs and at the Spanish club Christmas party the members all join in and sing the Spanish Christmas carol Feliz Navida. As 3:15 approaches students ready them- selves for the bus ride home. The bell rings and Mrs. Wiseman closes her book and says a cheer- ful Adios! Spanish Club, Row 1: D. Phelps, J. Hunt, K.

When the bell rings, Junior Julie Henke flashes Mrs. Wise- man her winning smile as she completes her Spanish final. Senior Jackie Condes uses her knowledge of Spanish to speak to her classmates. A knowledge of Spanish is useful when traveling to our southern neighbor or just over the Lake County Line to Little Mexico in New Chicago. Spanish 25 Math Students Math class prepares people for life as engi- neers, computer technicians, accountants, chem- ists, and physicists. They do this by explaining math from the basics of General Math to the extremely advanced math classes of Calculus, Analytic Geometry, and Trigonometry. In this computerized world, a student needs the knowledge of as much math as he she can get. The math instructors are Mr. Orsburn, Mr. Abbring, Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Plomaritis, and Mrs. Gross. Juniors Jacob Hawkins and Duane Kamminga agree that calculators are necessary for math. Not only does Mr. Abbring assist students in discovering areas of the triangle, he heads the Math Department. Observe Facts, Figures; Numbers The math student must be dedicated enough to be able to listen and pick things up quickly. Some of the more advanced math problems can be used to: find the area under a curve, or to measure the height of something without mea- suring it. It can also be used to do something as simple as balancing a checkbook. You’d be su r- prised what numbers can do. Math is the practical science that applies num- bers to times and events. This is done through the use of story problems which apply the math- ematics to real life problems. Math is one of the hardest subjects to master, because it makes you think clearly and logically about a problem. When given ( 3 L4X 2 + 1 3 x’ + x) dx, you will be able to find the area under a curve at the completion of a Calculus course. Mathematical properties like this, can be ap- plied to further study in architecture, farming, construction, and computers. Ravi Dessai and classmates listen as Mr. Orsburn lectures on a trig. Problem. Ravi is an exchange student from West Germany. Ron Oresik thinks of an answer to a problem in algebra. Algebra is offered to college bound students. 26 Math Senior Rod Huber searches his notebook for an assignment in Mr. Orsburn ' s trig, class. Math 27 Pupils Investigate World Events In Social Studies What do Ms. Karen Robinson, Mrs. Pat Price. Mr. Jim Daubenheyer, Mr. Bob Baker, and Mr. Larry Sakel have in common? They all teach a Social studies class. K.V.’s Social Studies De- partment ranges from World History to Govern- ment. In World History, you learn about the early settlers of Europe and America. This knowledge is put to use in class debates on the bombing of Nagasaki and Pearl Harbor, and the Ming Dyn- asty. U.S. History teaches students the signifi- cant happenings in the United States such as the Great Depression , Martin Luther King Jr.’s fight for the equal right’s of all men, the bomb- ing of Pearl Harbor, and both World Wars. Sophomore Laura Molchan points out the Dunes National Lakeshore to her friend Kelly Dunlap. Above right: History is more than just studying your book. Juniors Jeff Mathis and Brett Huber begin a lively discussion on the bombing of Lybia. Turning to the 60’s, the attention is focused on the Presidential term and the assassination ofJ.F. Kennedy and the Vietnam War. Discussions and films are designed so that students will better understand the land they are defending. To pro- mote this understanding, World Geography which centered on the topographical differences of the world was added to the curriculum. In order to better understand the body which governs their lives. Seniors are required to take Government which serves as the final hurdle in their quest for graduation and their high school diploma. Keeping a grade check lets the student know where he she is throughout the semester. The course requires a great amount of work as students complete reviews, take tests, write es- says, complete tax problems, and write campaign slogans. Additional points may be earned by memorizing the Indiana State Poem. Seniors may also opt to take Economics where the theory of Economics concentrates on the balancing of financing. A second option for seniors is Psychology. In this class, students study the behavior and actions of the human race. Filmstrips and movies are used to update the latest changes in psychology. Later, during the course, students learn about law in Indiana and the punishment granted for various crimes. Checking out the location of Kiev, Juniors Kelly Krupa, Julie Henke, and Michelle Warran discuss the nuclear reactor accident which plagued Russia in April. 28 Social Studies Senior Doug Rogge realizes that if he wants to graduate with the rest of his class, he must study his government intensely. Where’s Indiana,” asks Laura Molchan. : Oh, Laura, you know it is by the blue stuff in the middle of the States.” replies class- mate Kelly Dunlap. Understanding geography is an essential part of the World History course. Social Studies 29 Business Area: Gold Key to Successful Careers General Business I and II, Typing I and II, Personal Typing, Business Law, Office proce- dures, Shorthand, and Intensive Office Lab are all classes offered by Kankakee Valley High’s Business Department. In General Business I you learn how to be a smart shopper” and what to look for when you buy an item. Also specific emphasis is placed on Needs and Wants.” In General Business II, you learn about the differ- ent types of Insurance and their coverages. Also in this course special interest is focused on the Senior Debra Williams puts her business classes to work as an Award-winning member of IOL. Mr. DeHaven looks over an assignment in General Business. drawing and writing of checks. Typing I students focus most of their attention on learning the keyboard. Also they are given drills to test their speed and accuracy. Typing II is mainly con- cerned with speed, accuracy, and continuity. In Personal typing students are required to type timed writings” and complete typed projects. All daily assignments are turned in. Accounting I and II basically teach students the fundamentals of Accounting. Shorthand taught by Mrs. Fritch, is a must for many business careers. Business Senior Paula Bailey utilizes her knowledge of the dictaphone and the typewriter in order to transcribe a message from the Law is a class offered to juniors and seniors. Students in this class get to sit in on an actual court case at Jasper County Circuit Court. Inten- sive Office Lab is a course in which students get to see what it is like to work in a office. All IOL students must wear clothes that are suitable for office attire. Office Procedures is a class in which students learn office work. Also they learn how to run devices used in the office. Business teach- ers are Mr. Hale, Mr. DeHaven, Mrs. Fritch, Mrs. Zacher, and Mrs. Ginzer. boss to his corporation as an assignment in Intensive Office Lab. 30 Business Left: Organization is an essential element of a secretary ac- cording to Senior Barb Pardee.

Computers Are Fun Encouraging Students To Learn Byte by byte the year unfolded until the keys beneath my fingers felt like old friends. I was no longer afraid of the control sign or the arrows which seemed to race my cursor all over the screen. In March, I no longer lost sleep over the word program’ or Mr. Bolka’s announcement that we would have a ' hands on’ quiz tomorrow. In May, I realized that I had not only bitten the Apple, but devoured its basic knowledge with a relish I thought I had lost in elementary school.” It is this element of newness which permeated the aura in the computer room during its third year of operation. Under the command of Mr. Tom Bolka, students began with the rudiments of key boarding and worked their way through creating games, writing programs, word process- ing, and color coordinating. The young comput- er wizards were also allowed to work with an assortment of computer programs including Newsroom, Print Shop and Apple Works. Throughout the year students were chal- lenged by the computer brain through the use of data base and spread sheet programs. In spread sheets students were taught how to insert data and allow the computer to process the total in each column of the grid sheet. In data base, students inserted information which could be recalled in categories. When the computer lab is full, Mike Liss moves to the library where Media specialist Ron McAtee helps him understand the program. Juniors Myles Debshaw and Mat Kremke apply their computer knowledge to a Dungeons and Dragons program. 32 Computers I can ' t believe this program, thinks Mike Simpson as he works hard in computer class.

In the Home Economics Department there are six courses which stimulate the domes- tic nerve in students. Most students begin with a Foods class where they learn how to make not only homemade candy, but cakes from scratch. Foods classes are especially fun if you enjoy cooking and like to spend rainy days cooking. Senior Krista Rebraca suddenly realizes that she sewed the wrong two scams together and needs the assistance of Ms. Wellmaker. Sophomores Jamie McCarty and Michelle Howard show off their creations designed and constructed in Clothing. Once bitten by the domestic bug, students often return to take additional home ec courses. The second favorite is clothing classes which are created for the young designer. In clothing you learn how to protect seams, attach innerfacing, and design an outfit for a particular person. A knowledge of clothing construction will come in handy when students enroll in Child Develop- ment or Family Living where the concept of Family is thoroughly discussed and applied. In Child Development, students are required to be a parent” for one week to an egg. Each crack represents an element of abuse and rates as a grade reduction. Divorce is also a popular topic of discussion. The final two offerings taught by Mrs. Schroeder and Ms. Wellmaker are Housing and Needlecraft. 34 Home Economics Junior Kim Kros searches through a gourmet cookbook for a recipe to use on her final project. Cooking classes are a balance of research and application in the kitchen. Sophomore Melanie Gates and Junior Kim Kros discuss the texture and amount of material they need to complete a sewing project. Junior Shelley Howard and Terri Sheffer carefully make sure that their pattern is lined up on the bias of their material in order to put a finished look on their outfits. Home Economics 55 Industrial Arts Class Turns Wood Into Works of Art Industrial Arts is not just Art, but a lot of work. Safety is always needed to prevent injury. One rule of safety is to always wear your safety glasses, woodshop teachers such as Mr. McDowell make sure this is enforced. Although it seems easy to make a cut, there are many types of cuts as well as cutting tools. Some examples of these are: Cove cutting, and Molding. Designs and plans are drawn before- hand to lessen mistakes. That ' s where Mr. Hine comes in, he teaches students the basics of de- signing objects. Another branch of Industrial Arts is Auto Mechanics and Welding. Mr. Jen- kins teaches students the basics of automotive technology. During the year, students are lec- tured by a speaker from Lincoln Tech who tells them what’s available to them if they pursue a career in the fields of Auto or Diesel Mechanics. Without such things as woodshop, welding, and autoshop we wouldn’t have today’s mechan- ics, house builders, carpenters, engineers, or de- signers ready for a changing world. Industrial Arts teaches the student the skills of life, a little common sense, safety, and it gives them dead- lines, in other word it forces them to work under pressure. Welding is an essential part of Industrial Arts. Each student is required to learn how to form a successful brace before he leaves the course. This knowledge is then applied to related classes such as small motors and auto shop. Above Right: Examples of the two types of cuts. Cove and Molding.

Industrial Arts 37 Physical Fitness Develops Minds; Tones Muscles Fitness is the word as K.V. students work out to be in top physical condition. The main event this year was their visit to the local bowling alley and KV Fitness Center. The purpose of these out of school classes was to test their skill and tim- ing, as well as to continue developing their mus- cles on equipment the school does not possess. The cost was $1.00 per day. The out of school lab., depending on which activity the student chose, lasted for two to four weeks. The Health students also had an interesting learning exper- ience but, it took place in school. Conservation officers from the Jasper Pulaski Reserve in- structed the Health Classes in gun safety and first aid. After completing this course each student received a gun safety certificate.

Avid Explorers Discover Science In Laboratories; Nature Programs Science covers the broad field of human knowledge concerned with facts held together by principles (rules). Students had the opportuni- ty to explore these principles as well as reach new horizons through the science courses. Freshmen were required to take Academic or General Biol- ogy in which they explored animal and human anatomy. It was through dissection of these ani- mals that the young biologists learned how the muscles and organs function. Those in Physical Science learned ecology while the students in Chemistry and Physics dealt with properties of elements and physical laws. Science which is classified as any subject that can be studied using the scientific method was the basis for the diversity in projects. Monique Yoder’s science project on dreams explored the untraveled parts of the human mind. Dan DeYoung ' s Mousetrap Racer traveled an un- equaled distance of 272 feet 5 inches in the Phys- ics class competition. However, DeYoung was not only an expert builder, he also had a first place finish at the KV science fair with his pro- ject The Efficiency of a Heat Pump.” In 1986, KV’s young achievers were stunned as TV viewers watched seven astronauts plum- met to their deaths. For months scientists searched the ocean floor for answers. While they were looking below, other scientists lifted their eyes to the sky for answers concerning the com- position of Halley’s comet. Throughout the year these questions and more were discussed and investigated by science teachers Steve Maple, Bob Heid, Christine Slaby, Sarah Prochno, and Mike Masten in their daily lessons. Shane Howard carefully examines his pig as he checks out the physical structure of another mammal. Harry Brockus works on his science fair project in the chem- istry lab.

Science 41 Variety is the spice of life in transportation and activities in Jasper County. An old bridge which spans the ever flowing Kankakee River offers a safe crossing for students enroute to K.V. and the circus, which entertains the com- munity in September. The pathways of variety move, along through the corridors of K.V. as Rich Murchek and Angel Holloway rest beneath the Spirit Week sign during sectionals. Rest is not a word in the vocabulary of band students who hit the road for competitions and contests including a first place finish at Crown Point. No matter how or where they travel Kougars are reminded of the church’s influence whether at home or away. 42 Activities ACTIVITIES Activities 43 Art Is Creative It Takes Patience, Hard Work, Time Art comes in many forms in the KV Fine Arts Department. Art classes are taught by Paula Wellmaker who works with students in the areas of Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, and Photogra- phy. Art students are able to express their thoughts and ideas through the creativity of their work, while learning to understand and appreci- ate the beauty of art. Junior Tom DeFries states, Being in an art class has enhanced my under- standing of it.’’ Due to cutbacks last year, the art department was forced to condense and cut out certain classes. Junior Ann Takacs feels, The art pro- gram at KV is good, but due to cutbacks, stu- dents don ' t have as much opportunity to express themselves as Fd like. Students who wish to further develop their artistic talents are invited to join the Art Club. The Art Club is open to anyone who has had an art class. The club sells candy bars at the beginning of the year to help finance any field trips, workshops, or art exhibits that would be valuable for them to attend. This year the club is displaying art works during choir concerts in- stead of at the traditional Arts and Crafts Fair. Ffeading the club is President Krista Rebraca, Vice-President Dave Cooper, Treasurer Shannon Kohlman, and Secretary Pam Whited. The club which has 50 members is sponsored by Mrs. Miller. Sophomores Tracy Ailes, Candy Huber, and Brad Cox collaborate on possible ideas for an art project. Mrs. Miller proudly displays a certificate from the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art for their participation in the art show.

Art 45 What is it that draws students to a club thats only activity is sitting behind a desk and writing stories? It is a variety of things. The opportuni ty to be a part of something that will build up our school academically is just one quality that makes Mirage special. Expanding journalistic abilities and sharing one ' s academic talents is another of these qualities. Anyone can be a part of Mirage, even if he she is not on the staff. In the business, we call these people contributors. Any short stories, es- says, poetry, drawings, or music arrangements are edited carefully by the staff. Mirage may be hot off the press” but it has all the qualities that make a club a club.” It is a fresh new outgrowth of Quill and Scroll. This is the first of hopefully many successful years for Mirage. There are eighteen members of the staff: Aimee Beck, Dawn Bentancourt, Gayland Bockhahn, Traci Cambe, Keith Dykstra, Lisa Gaillard, Donna Gluth, Becky Hershman, Cindy Jefferson, Karen Krupa, Phyllis Oresik, Scott Post, Chris Shaffer, Willie Siverthorne, Glenn Susnis, Atlanta Sutton, Jenny Wells, and Val Zylstra. Managing editors are Brenda Vander- here and Kori Kros, Poetry editor Tina Herubin, Prose editor Paula Hershman, Art editors Dan Helton and Becky Kritz, Business editor Wendy Hamstra and Chris Kupianen. The club is spon- sored by Miss Jill Jenkins. Staffers are honored at the Quill and Scroll banquet on April 25. ' ft Freshman Kori Kros works diligently to make sure the Mirage is published on time.

Appropriately named, this class deals with a clash of personalities all pursuing the same goal, designing a yearbook that exemplifies the Kou- gar Pride”. Creating a cover worthy of our energy, the Kougar Pride Staff designed a cover with scenic pictures of Jasper County on a background of crayons. This cover supports the theme of indi- vidual unity. Even though we are all individuals, we unite as a school to support each others individual interests. The Yearbook staff takes pride. In their ef- forts to create a better yearbook, they send three students to a week long workshop to improve their talents in photography, theme, copy, lay- out, and editing. Members who attended are Editor Brenda Vanderhere, Jim Arwood, and Robin Ahlgrim. Also striving to improve on the yearbook, the members attend the Northern In- diana Journalism Seminar at Purdue Calumet. For a day, staff members get a chance to not only learn helpful hints from professionals in their field but also to mingle with college students. Yearbook staff raises funds to pay for the yearbook by selling candy in February, advertis- ing revenue, and yearbook sales. Cover price for the yearbook is $18 or $20 if you wish to have your name on the cover. Kougar Pride is under the direction of Mrs. Crosby.

THE SPIRIT takes not only hard work and endurance but tolerance of a variety of personal- ities to make sure it is published every two weeks. Editor-in-chief, Sophomore Jill William- son, makes sure everything is running smoothly and composes answers to the editorial page. She has to think carefully about each reply to make sure it is the best answer possible. Sports is an important part of KV life. Girls sports editors, Tracey Gildersleeve and Julie Sawyer, attend the games so they can give an accurate report to the readers of THE SPIRIT. Boys sports editor Ryan Bult labors with Jim Kelley and Bob Motyka to meet their deadlines. An addition to the staff is the opinion page edited by Paula Falbo and Becky Kritz. This page is designed to offer a place for student surveys and unique in depths. Covering the advertisement section of the newspaper is Business Manager, Kim Kerkes, who arranges the ads for the newspaper and handles the paper’s Finances. Editor Kelly Kennedy, M.J. Lowry, and Mike Hurst handle Features. Features capture the liter- ary climate of the student body through publica- tion of poems, essays, and student highlights.

Branch- ing out into new styles of music the Show Cho- risters sing not only pop music, but also madri- gals, jazz and music in foreign languages. Format for the Show Choristers is based on the Indiana University Singing Hoosiers which is a block riser set up for choral sound with movement and dance for show and stage appeal. Each year choir students may audition for All State Choir. Senior Carol Schneider earned a po- sition in the choir and Keith Dykstra served as alternate. Students from the Show Choristers also attended a vocal clinic at Valparaiso Univer- sity to work on vocal concepts. Dressed up in either red and white robes for Concert Choir or the tuxedo look with red sus- penders for Show Choristers, the choirs perform Christmas, winter, and spring concerts and par- ticipate in ISSMA organizational contest. In ad- dition to performing at the school, the Show Choristers also presented musical programs for the community. They sang and danced for the DeMotte State Bank Christmas party at Teibel’s, the Rotary Club, Lake Holiday Manor Nursing Home, at the Century Mall and for others who requested their presence. Students from both the Show Choristers and Concert Choir attended the ISSMA solo and ensemble contest on February 1. Students re- ceived awards for different divisions. Those who received a first place in Division I then went on to state contest. These included the Madrigals: Keith Dykstra, Justin Steiner, Twila Rossmanith, Starla Eeingenburg, Carol Schneider, Bruce Ri- ley, Robbie Atkins, JoEllen Grube, Jeanette Sculley, Mat Kremke, Steve Musch, Dave Arispe, Don Jarrell, Joanne Pettet, Rhonda Heinz, Alicia Caldanaro, Tammy Chase, Shelley Nowak, and Michelle Profrock. Students who received first at state for solos were Carrie Buck- waiter, Bruce Riley, Michelle Profrock, Alicia Caldanaro, and Tammy Chase. The choirs were under the direction of Katie Nagel.

David Brunner re- placed Melinda McKenzie as the director of the Royal Valley Brigade. Though the marching band got off to a slow start, the talents of the new director, musicians, and Kougarettes shine through. They received a second place rating at the District Marching Band Contest. They also received the Best Band Award for their performance in the DeMotte Arts and Crafts Festival Parade. Mr. Brunner stated, I enjoy teaching at KV and am pleased with the music program.” In addition to the marching band, Mr. Brunner was also responsi- ble for the pit band, symphonic band, and bas- ketball band. The responsibility bestowed on Mr. Brunner was enormous, but excelled band members such as Jim Belstra on trumpet, Carol Schneider on trombone, Lisa Young on clarinet and many other members aided in teaching new recruits the tricks of the trade. The Kougarettes are a drill team that added spice to the marching band. They are under the instruction of Kris VanderMolen who replaced Lori Emmons as choreographer. She aided cap- tains Becky Hirsch, Liz Cowles, and Carla Leach in preparing routines that were performed during halftime at varsity football and basketball games. The Kougarettes have long vigorous practices in order to execute their routines with precision. The Kougarette officers. Secretary Kristen Holmes and Treasurer Robin Rogyom along with the captains work with the Band Executive Board members. President Jim Belstra, Secretary Shelley Kaluf, and Treasurer Lisa Young, in an effort to make sure that the band and Kougar- ettes needs are met.

However, every- one is familiar with the feeling of loneliness when we are on our own for the very first time. This is the lost feeling that Lili experiences when she arrives at the Carnival from Mira. Marco the Magnificent, and Rosalie dazzle Lili with their false glamour, but Lili, in her heart knows there is more to life than Magic.” Through the Pup- peteer, Paul, who is also trying to find himself, Lili learns there is a time and place for everything including love. Students classified by Director Mrs. Krejsa as an A Type personality joined together to put on the musical Carnival”. Playing the leading roles were seniors Jenny Nagel (Lili); Bruce Riley (Paul); Carol Schneider (Rosalie); and Junior Mat Kremke (Marco). As the curtain closed on the last performance, emotions were stirred as Sen- iors realized that this would be their last year in the K.V. musicals and underclassmen contem- plated next years play and the prospect of getting a lead. Supporting the leads is the entire Carnival cast which consists of David Arispe, Don Jarrell, Dean Petroff, Keith Dykstra, Jason Bunning, Jeff Pettet, Kelly Smith, Piper Atkins, Twila Rossmanith, Jeanette Scully, Bonnie Shadder, Cassy Bengston, Michelle Profrock, Angel Holloway, Joanne Pettet, Tammy Chase, Becky Kritz, Christy Rose, Joy Stepanek, Tyrone Shep- herd, Kelly Kennedy, Marla Terborg, Frankie Koliada, Joseph Krejsa, Melanie Anderson, Sandy Belleville, Lisa Tillema, Mark Shelhart, Kevin Sayers, Katy Morrison, and Paula Hersh- man. Colorful costumes designed by Costume Cot- tage and by students brought the stage to life. Scenery was provided by Mrs. Miller’s art classes, the wood shop, Mrs. Krejsa and the stage crew. Props included a circus wagon, a peddlars wagon, and a puppet theatre. The main backdrop was a circus tent opening complete with flashing lights and streamers. The play was put together with the help of numerous people, Miss. Nagel (Vocal Music Director); Mr. Bruner (Pit Band Director); and Mrs. Krejsa (Theatrical Director). Appreciation was shown to these three directors by plaques that were presented by the Carnival Cast of 1986 on closing night. Singing to The Grand Imperial Cirque De Paris and other songs is made easy by the Pit Crew comprised of Lisa Young, Kristen Holmes, Shelly Kaluf, Ron Oresik, Chris Allen, Angie Robinson, Steve Kooy, Chris Glass, Eric Robinson, Jill Slager, Robin Valade, and Brad Cristy. Lighting direction was under the experienced hand of Mr. Heid. His crew consisted of Sue Letko, Mark Shelhart, and Larry Carlson. The lighting crew worked in close union with the backstage crew to make the musical flow. The backstage crew was comprised of Stage Man- ager Jim Bailey, Jenny McComb, Jennifer Kocur, and Shannon Kohlman. After the closing night of the play, the cast went to a party at Mat Kremke’s to unwind and to eat barbeques, cake, doritos, and other mun- chies as they reminisced about their play perfor- mances or danced to their favorite music groups.

As ex- pressed in the above sentence, Quill Scroll ' s main purpose is to bring recognition to journal- ists who have achieved not only placement in the upper third of their graduating class, but have also gained the respect and admiration of the advisor for a job well done. Goals, goals, goals could be used as a slo- gan for this active organization started in 1982 by Mrs. Crosby. President Brenda Vanderhere, Vice President Joanne Pettet, and sponsor Mrs. Cros- by have set their goals to (l) purchase a computer (2) sponsor an awards banquet, (3) send three students to summer camp, (4) fund a literary magazine, and finally (5) participate in profes- sional competition. Of these many goals, the Quill Scroll banquet was by far the most exciting. On April 25, 1986, journalism students attended Bridge VU Theatre for their induction ceremonies. Seven students of the newspaper and yearbook staff were inducted due to their excellent grades and work in the journalism field. These students included Holly DeYoung, Brian Messer, Keith Dykstra, Julie Hessling, Rhonda Hart, Alta Williams, and Tracy Gilders- leeve. Journalists enjoyed a funfilled evening while watching the musical production Grease” which was under the direction of Mr. Albert. Quill Scroll also sent all members of the 1986 journalism staffs to Purdue North Central for the annual Northern Indiana Journalism Seminar on April 11. Students spent this day learning new and exciting techniques to use on their individual publications. Also, professional journalists instructed graduating students in schools to attend, and majors to establish in order to fulfill their future careers. At the end of this seminar a $300 scholarship was awarded to Joanne Pettet to use for her communications major. To achieve this scholarship, Joanne had to write a 600 word essay on why she wished to major in journalism and submit three examples of her literary work. In order to finance these events and goals, journalism students sold 10,000 candy bars in a 30 day period enabling them to earn $1,500. Quill and Scroll was sponsored by Mrs. Crosby. Would you care to taste one of these mouth-watering ice cream delights?” asks freshmen Dan Helton, Atlanta Sutton, and Scott Post. With the assistance of Grease cast members, sophomore Jim Kelley learns to twist and shout to the 50 ' s style music. 66 Quill Scroll Left: Due to the work of President Brenda Vanderhere and Vice President Joanne Pettet, an honor jacket system is started to commend excellent journalism students.

Computers are changing the world,” says Computer Club president Keith Dykstra, If we are going to progress in this world we must learn about this new toy, called the computer. Teach- ing and preparing students for future careers in the computer industry are two of the main goals of Computer Club. Every Wednesday, club members stay after school to develop new com- puter techniques and to advance those already acquired. This time is spent not only as a learning experience, but as a time of fun and games. Students learn interesting games along with life- time fundamentals of the computer world. With the assistance of sponsor Mr. McAtee the president along with Vice-President Justin Steiner, Treasurer Ravi Dessai and Robin Ahl- grim, and Secretary Richard Ahlgrim work hard to teach members basic computer fundamentals. The officers also busy themselves in preparing a school dance to raise money for the club activi- ties. Through computer usage, freshmen Scott Post and Tyrone Shepherd learn techniques to enrich their lives. In club meetings, freshmen Mark Shelhart and Kevin Purdy learn important skills and strategies to use in computer games. 68 Computer Chess, a challenging but interesting game, takes much time and practice to learn. Juniors Larry Gifford, Mat Kremke and Myles Debshaw learn the proper ways to play chess during a Simulations meeting. Simulations Club Learns Strategy Through Games Simulations Club pits club members against each other in games of strategy, skill, and fanta- sy. It broadens students minds by making them think and react quickly to different situations. The games the members play can last for hours, days, or even weeks. This concept is best shown during the 72 hour long game-a-thon. During this time participants try to stay awake for as long as they can or until the 72 hours has elapsed. The purpose of the game-a-thon is to raise money, but members also manage to have some fun. The money made during this time is used to buy new board, video, and computer games. Sponsor Mr. Bolka and officers President, Myles Debshaw, Vice-President, Ken Greer, Treasurer, Mat Kremke, and Secretary, Mike Simpson teach members to use their own knowl- edge of strategy and tactics in simulation games depicting real events in history or of the future.

' Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit,’ sayeth the Lord,” is the backbone of the Pathfinders organization. It strives to teach indi- viduals, through scripture and song, the impor- tance the power of God can have in their life. Pathfinders met on four different occasions during the school year. During these meetings students listened to peers explain the i: their life to God. DeFries along Dykstra, and God’s love hi how it could member ' s li Sandy Tiem ins ' Barry Hamli minute God.

Lisa and fellow officers Vice President Shelley Kaluf, Secretary and Treasurer Rod Huber and directors Lori Liss, Candy Huber, and Kim Ailes made it their prominent goal to serve first the school then the community in the best possible way. With the assistance of their parent organization, Rotary Club, Interact members found themselves busy throughout the year with various activities. The name Interact” is a combination of the English words international” and action.” This organization, stretching from Australia to Japan to Pakistan and finally to Kankakee Valley, is truly an action oriented club. Members fulfilled this action spectrum of the club through activi- ties such as a food drive, tutoring program, Rig Brother Big Sister, Career Day, and the ex- change student weekend. Of these activities, the Career Day and the exchange student weekend were the most suc- cessful. On February 7, eleven exchange students from various neighboring schools attended KV with Interact junior and senior students. They arrived at their hosts ' homes on Thursday even- ing and stayed until Saturday morning. The stu- dents and their guests found this time to be one of real excitement as the families acquired a taste of what life in othe r countries is like. In fact, many students commented that they wished their exchange students would return again. Next on April 4, the entire school participated in a Career Day sponsored by the Interact Organi- zation. Employers and employees of 40 occupa- tions came to discuss such topics as salaries, work conditions, and general work require- ments. Through Career Day, the Student body became more aware of what their jobs would entail and the education needed to acquire the job. Although Interact is involved in many major activities. Sponsor Mr. Hughes still strives to have its main goal be of service to fellow school members. This goal is accomplished through the tutoring program and the Big Brother Big Sister program. During these programs students assist others in social and school dilemmas. With the assistance of Interact members, many students are able to better enjoy high school and its many activities.

Interact 71 Eighteen OEA Trophies Received At Competition Held in February And the new district OEA Vice-President is Piper Atkins.” Cheers fill the Crown Point H.S. auditorium as junior Piper Atkins receives her new appointment. With this new title, Piper will be given leadership over all of the district I OEA organizations. This also requires her to attend all monthly officer meetings held in Indianapolis. OEA (Office Education Association) is part of the office education program which is designed to develop leadership abilities in the American Business System and competency in office occu- pations within the framework of vocational edu- cation. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Fritch, members are encouraged to attend district con- test to compete for awards in all areas of secre- tarial and business occupations. Winners of the district contest then compete at the state level and national level. At contest, held on February 8, members came home very successful. Eighteen awards were received by competing students. Those progressing to state competition include: Piper Atkins — 2nd Information Communica- tions I Rhonda Heinz — 3rd Stenography I Lauri Henrichs — 1st General Clerical I Karen Howard — 2nd Banking Services Becky LaCosse — 1st Stenography I Beth Lucietta — 2nd General Clerical II Joanne Pettet — 1st Extemp. Verbal II 1st General Clerical II 3rd Prepared Verbal II Christy Rose — 1st Job Interview I 2nd Typing I Debra Williams — 3rd Word Processing At state competition, members enjoyed a fun- filled weekend of activities at the Hyatt Regency. When not competing in events, members were encouraged to tour Indianapolis and enjoy the weekend to its fullest. Winners at state competi- tion proceeded to Columbus, Ohio for national competition. Although OEA contest is the major event of the year, President Beth Lucietta along with Vice-President Piper Atkins, Secretary Barb Par- dee, Treasurer Lisa Hennin, and Reporter Natha- lie Pelletier held many other exciting events. A Male Legs Contest” was held to raise money for the Diabetes organization. Travel finances were earned through candy bar and chocolate bunny sales. In addition to contests and fundraisers, the girls also enjoyed a Halloween party and caroling session at the Rensselaer Care Center. Secretarial work can seem complicated, but through OEA exper- iences students are graduated with a better con- cept of their future occupation. Finding a suitable typewriter to meet senior Kim Pfeifer ' s typing needs is the most important step when beginning an OEA contest.

NHS Members Study to Acquire High Class Rank NHS was formed to improve the KV student and to promote a system of honoring exception- al students. To become a member of NHS, a student must earn a 3.7 GPA and be in at least two extra-curricular activities. Examples of these include: clubs, church youth groups, teacher as- sistant, sports, 4-H, and scouts, all of which must be validated. The final step in the induction process is the teacher voting sheet which covers the areas of character, leadership, and service. A student must receive a 3 out of 4 in each of these areas to qualify for membership. Also the candidate must receive a rating from at least 5 teachers in each area and be enrolled in the KV School Corpora- tion for at least one semester. Those who have successfully completed all of these requirements were inducted on April 23. Although this 19-member club has been rather inactive this year, due to scheduling conflicts, they did hold a candle-light induction ceremony. The NHS’s officers were: Brenda Stalbaum, President; Monique Yoder, Vice-President; Joanne Pettet, Secretary; and Jenny Nagel, Trea- surer. This club was under the direction of Mrs. Fritch. Inductees for the ’86 school year were— Rob Atkins, Harry Brockus, Camie Germann, Rhonda Hart, Bea Herbst, Val Hoffman, Candy Huber, Rhonda Jonkman, Sherri Kaluf, Paul Kingma, Kristin Meyer, Julie Moolenar, Amy Nagel, Barb Nannenga, Michelle Orzech, Troy Pendergrass, Michelle Profrock, Bill Sytsma, Ju- lie Tanis, Marla Terborg, John Wiggs, Clara Christos, Sherri Smith, and Sean Mawhorter.

FHA Members Help to Feed Needy Families FHA sponsors many charitable activities each year, such as the Christmas Food Drive. Each year it joins with Interact in this Food Drive. This year they fed 44 needy families. The goals of FHA are to help youth assume their roles in society. This is done through Home Economics education in the areas of personal growth, family life, vocational preparation, and community in- volvement. Each member of this club must be in or have been in a Home Economics class. Each month the member with the highest amount of internal and external participation points is recognized as FHA’s Member of the Month. So far this year they have been: Shelley Nowak, October; Jennifer Perry, November; Deb Williams, December; Jennifer Perry, Janu- ary; Kim Nowak and Shelley Nowak, February; Jennifer Perry, March. This 20-member club is involved in the Christ- mas Food Drive, the FHA all-school dance, and the FHA State Convention, Its officers are Deb Williams, President; Shelley Nowak, Vice-Presi- dent; Kim Nowak, Secretary; Jennifer Perry, Treasurer; Sue Letko, Historian Publications.

Future Homemakers of America 75 FFA Seniors Tour St. Louis Area For 25 th Year FFA was First formed in 1917 by the Smith- Huges Act, which promoted high school voca- tional agriculture programs. The actual FFA be- gan with the FFV (Future Farmers of Virginia). The Indiana FFA was formed in 1929- There are 212 FFA chapters in Indiana. KV is chapter num- ber 72. It was brought to KV when Wheatfield and DeMotte became KV. Every state in the U.S. plus Puerto Rico has FFA. Each year the FFA holds many annual events such as the Sweetheart Contest. This year the candidates were: Senior, Val VanKley; Junior, April Vandermolen; Sophomore, Kim Meppe- link; and Freshman, Sue Postma, who won the FFA title. These contestants were judged in the areas of: grades, agricultural background, ability to answer questions in an interview, clubs, activ- ity, manners, poise, and appearance. Each year they also hold a slave auction. This year they collected $2590. One half of this money went toward their Senior Trip. The slave who sold for the highest this year was John Vansoest. He sold to his father for $150. In 1985 the FFA traveled to the National Con- vention in Kansas City, Missouri; the state con- vention at Purdue University; the leadership camp at Trafalgar, Indiana; and they toured the St. Louis and surrounding area for the Seniors Silver Anniversary in this program. To join the FFA a student must be in a voca- tional agriculture class. There are several agricul- ture classes, some of these are: Supervised Occu- pational Experience: an agricultural project in which a record book is kept; Agribusiness class: the class visits 16 local agribusinesses and job descriptions are given; Vo-Ag 1 and 2; FFA Ori- entation, Plants, and Welding; Vo-Ag 3 and 4: Animal Science and Small Engines; Vo-Ag 5 and 6: Soils and Farm projects; and Vo-Ag 7: Farm Management. There are 19 Freshmen, 10 Sophomores, 10 Juniors, and 11 Seniors in this club. The FFA officers were President, Art Helton; Vice-Presi- dent, Dave Norberg; Treasurer, Doug Richie; Secretary, Tricia Birch; Reporter, Pat Henderson; and Sentinel, Phil Harper. Each year many new members join the FFA by going through a bi- zarre initiation ceremony. The Seniors get to administer these treatments to prospective new members or Greenhands. M. Profrock, L.

FFA 79 DeYoung Yoder Aim To Regionals For Competition On March 21-22 Dan, would you please explain to me the importance of a home heat pump?” questions Science Fair judge Mr. Maple. According to senior Dan DeYoung, a home heat pump is a more efficient and less expensive method of heating one’s home. Then once all factors are considered senior Dan DeYoung won first prize followed by Monique Yoder receiving a blue ribbon on her project of dreams. The Science Fair held on February 27 was definitely a success even though a smaller num- ber of projects were exhibited than in previous years. Sponsor Mr. Heid commented that this problem was due to a lack of organization in his first year of holding a Science Fair. Although this was Mr. Heid ' s first year, junior Twila Rossman- ith felt the Science Fair was definitely an educa- tional and worthwhile experience. She feels the wisdom gained will help her throughout life. Dan DeYoung, besides receiving a blue rib- bon for first place, also received a scientific cal- culator for further use at the high school and college level. On March 21-22, he and Monique Yoder (the winners of blue ribbons) proceeded to Lafayette for regional competition. The winners of red ribbons were Harry Brockus with his project of radiation and Matt Kolanowski along with Mike Liss with their pro- ject of the Dream Theory. Finally, receiving white ribbons were Jim Raber, Ann Takacs, Twila Rossmanith, and Glenn Susnis. When asked the goals of Science Club, spon- sor Mr. Heid replied to put on a successful Sci- ence Fair and to promote science in anyway possible. He and President Steve Dobson, Vice- President Rod Huber, Treasurer Dave Brown, and Secretary Sean Mawhorter began to achieve this goal by holding a successful dance to help finance the Science Fair. Due to the year’s many events, the Science Club received ideas and ex- periences to improve the club’s endeavors the following year. Senior Monique Yoder explains to senior Dan DeYoung that when individuals eat certain foods they are more able to remember their dreams. Science Club: Row 1: S. Mawhorter, D. Brown, R. Huber, S.

Science 81 Club Spreads Sunshine Through Activities, Dances Sunshine members are involved in many different activities. Some of the money raised from Cheese and Sausage sales is donated to a special cause. The donations are used to send a handicapped child to a special camp. In addition to work programs, Sunshine participants enjoy various entertaining projects. Their social calendar starts on October 28, with the Halloween Costume Party, for members only. Girls scream at the scenes in Something Wicked This Way Comes. As the year unfolds, Sunshiners begin work on the annual Christmas Dance. The semi-formal dance held on Decem- ber 14, is designed as a turnabout affair, each girl must invite a male escort. A broken camera caused an hour delay in the dance. Members hold a variety of community parties. The Daddy Date Night is a dinner where fathers escort their daughters to the dinner. It is held February 13 in the cafeteria. The Mother Daugh- ter Salad Bar gives the mothers a chance to meet other club members. The salad bar is held March 25. The Senior Citizen Ice Cream Social event is held in May. The event is set up for senior citi- zens to attend an ice cream party. Senior Night is organized for honoring members and special people. Each member is expected to have an Ideal Lady. An Ideal Lady is a lady in the community chosen by a member to exchange gifts. The lady chosen does not know who her Sunshine Girl is until April 22, when the club holds its Ideal Lady Tea. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Chastain and Mrs. Slaby. President Lisa Tillema, Vice-Presi- dent Dee Bailey, Treasurer Angie Robinson, and Secretary Tracy Shepherd all help organize and hold the club together.

On the average an athlete must participate in 39% of regularly scheduled games or score in sectional competition to earn a major. Four majors or three majors and two minors are required to earn a free letter jacket. An alter- native to this is purchasing a free letter jacket with two majors and two minors or three majors and no minors. Varsity Club is headed by Coach Hardy and Coach Watts. Its officers are Brian Conley, Presi- dent; Barb Myers, Vice-President; Matt Rhoades, Treasurer, and Kim Ailes, Secretary. When asked what the clubs goals are Coach Hardy said, We would like to get some of our projects done. This includes planning a fund raiser to buy a stereo system for the weight room and to build a showcase to spotlight the senior athlete of the month. This would be in addition to the Wall of Fame which was instituted in in 1984. The Wall of Fame recognizes all-confer- ence athletes. I °P : 1- Ryska, R. Dahm, M. Rhoades, S. Tilev, B. Conley, R.

Crowd’s Cheers Inspire Victory Throughout Year YEAH RAH KOUGARS, WAY TO GO!!” are the familiar words heard by the KOUGAR fans. The K.V. cheerleaders are responsible for the selling of sports programs, the hospitality rooms for sectionals, decorating of athletes ' lockers and most of all the cheering for games. After school on Tuesdays and Thursdays the cheerleaders gather to practice cheers, dances and make signs for the various sports. The cheer- leaders also make all of the locker decorations so that every athlete who has a game that night will encourage other students to come and cheer the team on for another victory. Ready, Set, O.K.! eminates from Carla Hittle, Toni Whitaker, and Tanya Parker as they cheer the boys at the game against Valpo.

Pride and determination are evident in their 7-5 season. Kardiac” captures its meaning from the final second victories and re- versal scores orchestrated by Coach Watts ' grid- ders. Highlights of these final moment activities include a last second touchdown by Brian Con - ley and an extra point kick by Ron Klauer. These quality plays are just two of the high points of the Kougar season. Junior kicker Ron Klauer stated, We had a good season, but didn’t live up to our expectations, yet we earned another sectional win.” For Brian Conley the year is an individual success. He set records in total points, 90; assist tackles, 85; single season rushing record, 1,086; and career rushing record. Seniors Gary VanKeppel, Matt Rhoades, and Brian Conley are chosen as the 1985 football captains. In an interview the tri-captains state that the pride of the team is the famous Kougar- jacks. They also feel it is a great honor to be chosen by their fellow gridders as captains. Northwest Hoosier Conference winners are Brian Conley and Gary VanKeppel. On the even- ing of the athletic banquet, awards are given to: Mark Kozuch, most improved; Gary VanKep- pel, most valuable pla yer; Brian Conley, most valuable offensive and defensive award and tack- le award. In an interview Brian Conley stated, That my years in football have helped me to discipline myself and become a better person. Being under the direction of Coach Watts and his assistants has been great.” Brian’s statement summarizes the quality of coaching whereas Coach Watts places the level of excellence on his players, We proved to everyone that the sign of a winner from last season wasn’t a fluke, because we came back and did it again. The coaching staff is Mr. Watts varsity, Mr. Green — junior varsity, and Mr. Koslivsky — freshman.

VanSoest Captures First Place In Sectionals; Team Takes Fourth Blazing a trail of victory through the streets of Chicago to the golf courses of Indianapolis the word VICTORY has become synonymous with the Cross Country team. Victory, a word mean- ing success against the odds supports the 122 wins and only 6 loses during the entire Kougar season. The Kougar runners were 6 and 0 in conference, placing first in the Lemon Lake Sec- tionals and second in the LaPorte Semi-state meets. Consisting of fine runners, the All-Conference winners were John VanSoest, Jason Wallace, Aaron Uhrhammer, Jaako Swoneon and Steve Hoffman who went on to prove the Kougars are the best. In the state meet John VanSoest cap- tured the 6th place among some of the best runners around. This year has proved to be one of change. There were approximately 6 freshmen runners, more than any other year. There were also 4 sophomores, and 8 juniors. At the Awards Banquet, top honors were giv- en out to many fine athletes. John VanSoest received Most Valuable runner and Most Dedi- cated. Freshman Beth Byrom fought for Most Improved, and another freshman received Rook- ie of the Year, Sean Kostelnik. Co-captains were also named, seniors Aaron Uhrhammer and Ja- son Wallace.

Coaches Encourage Volleyers to Aim for Perfection fought matches. Special awards were given to; Jennifer Wiggs, Best Server; Kelli Andree. Best offensive player; and Denise Rossa, Mental Attitude Award. The season could be no better defined than in a poem Coach McKibben wrote for her players. The Best Team Did you ever think that this year YOU would be the team to fear? That only two teams would even come near? YOU are the best team that Kankakee Valley has EVER seen. I, as your coach, am filled with pride to watch every play, every stride. Beating Valpo was espe- cially sweet. Downing my alma mater was a victory treat. Together as a team you played so well. It was fun to watch the whole team yell. Freshmen and sophomores combined as one. The effort you gave was more than a ton. Many a time you hit the floor. Always work- ing to improve your score. You suffered a bump, a scrape, and a bruise. I taped it up, you continued to cruise. You ran and sweated and ran some more. We ran other teams into the floor! 200’s, 100 ' s, 55 ' s You made us quick, ready to jive. We were down many times, but never quit. You had determination, you had grit. The tourney victory was more than fun. You proved to everyone, We’re No. l!!!” The trophy was nice, but pride told the story. We were quite a sight, all in our glory. Many people came up to me that day. They all had a lot of nice things to say. Why, why were we so great? Some contend it must he fate. But I must say it’s because of things you can’t measure. Things like pride, courage, and desire, gave us pleasure. If you want to win, and think you will, it’s almost a cinch you ' ll hurdle the hill. Whatever the battle, games or life, people like you will win the strife. The things you’ve learned, the things you’ve done will keep you where you are — No. l!!!

Compiling a season record of 9-12, the girls didn’t sweat or practice any less than the previous season, yet they just couldn’t seem to return the ball in the last minute rushes which is essential for a victory. From August 14 to October 24, the 13 mem- ber team spiked, volleyed, faced and killed their opponents in a valiant effort to add points to KV’s all conference competition. As captain, senior Barb Meyers captured de- fensive player all conference awards. Senior Kim Ailes: offensive player and Junior Amy Serhal earned Best Server, Mental Attitude, and All Conference. The tri honors were instrumental in leading their team to nine victories. The team is under the leadership of Coach Hanley.

Volleyball 99 Swimmers Stroke Toward Victory; Combine Season Record of 9 Wins After nine meets and hours of practice. Miss Flynn called a close to the first girls swim team season in K.V. ' s history. Prior to the 1986 season the girls competed with the male swimmers. Even though the fe- male swimmers lost their male influences, many still made a good enough time to go to Section- als. Outstanding results included Freshman Wendy Hamstra who competed in the 1000 Backstroke and Donna Gluth who placed ninth out of 29 divers at Sectionals. Due to a separate girls swim team this year, Coach Lauritis had to work even harder in train- ing his male swimmers. Succeeding in 8 wins, 7 loses, and 1 tie, the Kougar swimmers went on to another Sectional Competition. Many records set in previous years were broken, among those records were those for the Individual Medley — Rich Murchek; 100 Butter- fly — Rob Dybcio; 100 Breastroke — Aaron Heir- onimus; and the 400 Free Relay — Rich Murchek, Roy Madsen, Terry Bierma, and Rob Dybcio. Both Swim Team coaches hope that more of the unknown swimmers will come out of the water and show the school they’re school spirit. This year has proven to be one of changes and team work, therefore everyone was encouraged to try to be his her best.

Gives Unification To Kougar Team Last second shots, four men on the floor in- juries, illness, and grades all play a big part in Kougar basketball 86”. On November 22, Hardy’s boys take the floor for the annual Soap Game. On that date no one can believe the year will culminate in an 8-14 season and the first sectional defeat in three years. However, no matter what the odds Hardy ' s boys click under pressure. During sectionals they prove they can do the things they have been practicing all year because they know their sea- son can quickly come to a close. In their first game they play with anxiety and sportsmanship. Their performance pays off for them as they win their first game by one point in overtime. The second game they aren’t so lucky. They play with the same intensity but this time they lose by one point to Hanover Central who then went on to win the Sectional title. For Troy Pendergrass this season can be considered successful. Troy Pen- dergrass is a sophomore, but not an ordinary one. He spends his playing time on varsity, start- ing in quite a few games. However, Troy Pendergrass finds his other sophomore classmates building a fine junior var- sity team. The J.V. wins their North Newton tourney with flying colors. The team finishes their season 13-7. They are under the direction of Coach Baker. The Freshman boys team had a successful season. They tied the record for most wins in a season with 14. Their final season record is 14-4.

The feelings I had couldn’t even be put into words,” states senior Barb Myers when asked how she feels about the Lady Kou- gars winning sectionals. Winning sectionals is the only team goal the Lady Kougars set for themselves this season and they achieved it. It isn’t an easy victory for them at all, but one that portrays an abundance of team effort. Team ef- fort can be identified because they know that not one of them can attain this victory alone. Sup- porting team effort, the Lady Kougars made their sectional logo, Do it together.” After sec- tional victory they retaliate with the words, We did it together.” The sectional crown is not the only success that these girls earned. At the beginning of the season, they obtain a tourney victory at Tri- County. The significance of this tourney is that it is the first tourney Coach Orsburn has earned as girl ' s head basketball coach. After this, an en- counter with the shower is appropriate as the girls carry him in the lockeroom with new suit and all. Another success comes when they finish their season with a record of 16-6; the most wins ever for girls basketball. In conference competi- tion, the Lady Kougars tied for second with an accumulation of 3-2. Team success is a great thing, but is developed by the individuals who make the team. These players are very smart and talented. They are willing to take on the chal- lenges that are handed to them by both Coach Orsburn and assistant, Coach McKibben. However, the varsity team isn’t the only team with fine achievements. The junior varsity Lady Kougars compile a record breaking season of 16- 1. The single loss which comes to them is a one point difference against Lake Station. Coach McKibben attributes her girls success to their winning attitude. The attitudes of these girls help them tie and break 15 school records. The school records they set include: most victories, the long- est winning streak, longest home court winning streak, best record tied fewest losses, best win- ning percentage, most points scored, most free throws made and attempted, best game field goal percentage, and field goal percentage. Also they broke the season record for fewest game errors, and most field goals in a season. The word Awesome” best defines the junior varsity team. The freshman team began their practices in January. Working hard at practices is an impor- tant job for these young athletes. Some of them carryover from the junior varsity team. However, two of them couldn’t participate in the freshman season, because they had played the limited number of quarters allowed in a season. This rule is organized by the I.H.S.A.A. The freshman tearp ends their season 3-4.

Basketball 107 Unity: Grappler Team Strategy Throughout Energetic 13-6 Season Equality and dedication are the keys to suc- cess according to Coach Prochno. These ele- ments combined in 85-86 to set a new season chronicle of I6-3. Individual accolades were also earned by Matt Rhoades who is only the second wrestler in the Northwest Hoosier Conference to win four titles in both the Northwest Hoosier Conference and the Rensselaer sectional. In seasonal competi- tion, Matt Rhoades stands 24-4 and classmate Gary VanKeppel stands 26-3. These two individ- uals added to the superb team effort which was needed to finish third in the Northwest Hoosier Conference. Rounding out the winning trio was sophomore Matt Kolanowski who was the final link in a triangle of conference champions. However, dedication is also evident in the performance of their teammates. Coach Proch- no’s wrestling team is composed of fine athletes who strive hard in competition to make the team the best it can be. They evolve from hard work- ing individuals to a team with the same ambition, the ambition to win. Grapplers work together and share their skills and knowledge about the sport to aid their fellow teammates. Coach Prochno states that wrestlers become a team because, They all play the same position and they all sacrifice an awful lot for the same cause. Grapplers do have to make many sacrifices. There is always the task of making weight and staying tough. Winning and doing their best is what the wrestlers base their goals on, and that’s why they are willing to give up that extra candy bar or limit themselves to one piece of pizza when the rest of their friends are gulping down five or six. Grapplers show pride and integrity through the sport they play. They demonstrate the factor that wrestling is a sport, not a game. As the seconds tick by, fourth place regional finisher Matt Rhoades attempts to keep his grip on his opponent during competition. Sharing ideas and skills is what this sport takes. Even basket- ball senior Brian Conley wants to get in on the action as he shows regional participants Gary VanKeppel and Ron Klauer some new ideas. Seconds after the snap of the camera, what seems to be an ineffective maneuver is suddenly changed as junior Ron Klauer drops senior heavy weight Gary VanKeppel to his knees. 108 Wrestling Sectional Team Row 1: S.

After a disappointing loss to arch rival Rensse- laer, the team came to within one point of Low- ell in a 63-64 finish. In a dual meet on April 18, victory reared its head as the Kougars captured the tri-meet with a total of 84 A points. For the next three meets, the Kougars captured first and John VanSoest broke the school’s 3200 meter record in a time of 9:41:0. John also went on to break the 1600 meter record with a time of 4:25.1 and his own 3200m with a time of 9:29-6 during the Crown Point meet. John went on to break two conference records at the Northwest Hoo- sier Conference by running the 1600m in 4:24.2 and the 800m in 1:56.8. At the NWHC, Dave Jones also placed first in the long jumps and the shot put. According to Coaches Prochno and Roberts, the season was representative of a young squad. At the end of the season, John VanSoest won the Most Valuable Runner and Co Captain status. The Most Valuable Field Event Participant and Co-Captain went to Dave Jones.

Under the direction of Coach Lauritis they practiced every school day, except Wednesday, and teed off for nine holes. During the course of the season, the linksters lost their top golfer because of grades. However, sen- ior Shawn Tilev was more than happy to show his talent by stroking his way to the top. For the girls junior Amy Serhal led the way. The foreign ex- change student Ravi Dessai was leading Junior Varsity Golfer. Ravi came to us from West Ger- many, where he also golfed. The 86” linksters were the biggest team K.V. has ever had. Coach Lauritis decided not to make any cuts this year so in the future K.V. may hopefully have a strong golf team. Row 1: S. McAtee, R.

Popcorn, seventh inning stretch, homeruns, you’re out. Sun, sweat, sweet smell of success: Baseball. What does it mean? In English one learns that a word can evolve an image in one’s mind or symbolize a particular image. What better way to celebrate than to dedicate America’s favorite sport, baseball to Miss Liberty. At KV, baseball is the place where dreams about being like a famous player begin. For Ron Klauer who leads the team in homeruns, his dream is to be like Babe Ruth or Kevin Whitaker to be like Johnny Bench, the best catcher in the history of baseball. They create these dreams because of the fine efforts made by varsity Coach DeHaven, and assistant Coach Orsburn and Coach Daubenheyer. Weather which is one factor of success played havoc with the Kougars as they perspired on Saturday in 85 degree weather and froze on Monday when the silver hit 40 degrees. A second factor is the restructure of the old field. The addition of new sod and dirt took out all the antique holes and bumps. A third factor is the aggressiveness of the team. During the season Mark Orsburn ventured into a fence trying to catch a fly ball. At practice they run and work for success. These factors give a satisfaction guaranteed good-bye to seniors Matt Rhoades and Tom Ryska.

Next the maze goes through the middle school, up the stairs to the mezzanine then down the stairs through a cascade of pink and white streamers to where dreams come true. Couples danced under a canopy of pink, white, and silver to the music of Fool’s Heart.” A waterfall was one of tbe features that created a romantic atmosphere as every space in the gym was used to enlighten the prom spirit. Cookies and punch were served to keep down the mun- chies as we know dancing takes a lot out of a person with all the boppin, twisting and swing- ing not to mention the close dancing. The doors opened at 7:30 on May 3 to allow couples time to get their pictures taken before the dance began. The cost of tickets was $6 per person or $12 per couple while seniors were ad- mitted for free as long as they presented a ticket. At 11:30 the Grand March began giving par- ents the chance to come in and take pictures or watch the parade of formal wear. After the Grand March, Brian Conley and Barb Myers were crowned the 1986 Prom King and Queen. Their court consisted of King candidates Sam Hicks, Rick Dahm, and Gregg Stanton and Queen candidates Kim Ailes, Elizabeth Grube, and Jenny Nagel. Junior Class President Amy Serhal, Vice Presi- dent Kelly Myers, Secretary Robin Hass, and Treasurer Nicki Barger worked diligently along with Junior class sponsors, Coach Watts and Mrs. Zacher to make sure this year’s prom was a big success. Post-prom activities began immediately fol- lowing the dance. From 12:00 to 1:15 the Wheat- Field American Legion Post 406 hosted a post- prom breakfast. A buffet of various breakfast foods was served to the prom-goers. The day after prom was Filled with excitement as couples went to Great American, Turkey Run, and various other places to soak up sun, relax with friends, and celebrate the end of another exciting year.

Girls go shopping try- ing on elegant dresses looking for that special one that will make them stand out from the crowd. They dream about what it may be like when the gym is transformed into a ballroom. The Juniors bring the metamorphasis of the gym into being, by selling magazines to pay for the decorations. Jennifer Perry was the top magazine seller by raising $257.87. Placing second and third are Sherri Smith and Robin Hass. The total amount raised was $2,200. In order to gather additional funds the Juniors held a dance, Janu- ary 24, featuring the lip sync group, Silent Inva- sion”. Another major happening in a Junior’s activi- ties is the taking of the PSAT. The PAST, gives students a peek at the upcoming scholastic apti- tude test SAT. More emphasis has been put on the preparation for these tests, as the SAT is a determining factor in college entrance. Ryan Bult comments, Even though the PSAT was hard, I’m glad I took it because I think it pre- pared me for what I was to expect for the SAT.” The class of ’87 has been led to great achieve- ments. In basketball, power forward, Dave Brown, struts his stuff on the court, not only creating a great example for fellow Juniors but also for the Freshmen and Sophomores that are shooting to fill his shoes. Other sports are domi- nated by outstanding players. Juniors dominat- ing football action include: Bret Huber, Brent Jeffries, Jeff Swanson, and Dave Garland. In wrestling Kevin De Young and in baseball Jeff Swanson show other athletes how it should be done. Athletes aren’t the only ones who are active in school related activities. On February 9, four Juniors compete in a Learning Comprehension program called TEAMS at Valparaiso Universi- ty. Those participating in the two and one half hour compettion are: Julie Hessling, Shelly Ka- luf, Amy Serhal, and Rob Arnold. Activities are under the direction of class sponsors: Mrs. Zacher and Mr. Watts.

Class of ' 87’ Juniors 151 Excited Sophomores celebrate 16” On Driveway of Class President The excitement of the sophomore year began as Tracy Gildersleeve and Rhonda Hart held a class party. Classmates and peers danced to the beat of pop tunes while celebrating the exciting feeling of turning sixteen. This milestone brought the new responsibilities and adventures of dating and driving. The 254 member class participated in home- coming events during the week of September 27. They placed third in locker decorations and in crazy dress ways. Kelli Andree, escorted by Troy Pendergrass, was elected as the homecoming princess for the sophomore class. Leading the sophomore class is President Tra- cy Gildersleeve; Vice President Rhonda Hart; Secretary Tracy Ailes; and Treasurer Tracy Hunt- er. Together they worked to enable class mem- bers to remember what made the class of 88” tick. The year progressed as many students re- ceived high honors in scholastic and athletic areas. Marla Terborg was announced as the Hugh O’Brien Award winner while Troy Pender- grass was selected as a starting guard on the varsity basketball team. These two students helped illustrate the ambition and perseverance of the sophomore class. They realized that by setting their goals high, they could achieve their dreams.

Through assignments, activities, and athletics, they learn that responsibility is a key factor in a successful freshman year. Two-hundred thirty-six Freshmen invade the halls of Kankakee Valley on August 26, 1985. Even though they are excited, they come with anxieties about the new challenge laid out before them. Phrases like, Hey, do you know where room 106 is?” echo through the halls. Learning to change classes without time to chat, and the absence of a Pod system are major adjustments for the greenhorns. Freshman class officers are President Beth Byrom and Vice President John Price, who lead the class to two spirit sticks during Homecoming. In the Homecoming court, Sherri Cepko represented her class as Freshmen princess ’85, with Todd Tilev as her escort. Hats off to the Freshmen for a great year and exceptional performances by Sandy Nemcek, Volleyball; Craig Nagdeman, football; Wendy Hamstra and Donna Gluth, swimming; and to Abe Kritz for the Outstanding Band Award. Mr. Metzger views the passage of time as Freshman Alisa Fyda and an upperclassman pass him in the hall.

His strong leadership and words of encourage- ment brighten each day. Being Assistant Principal requires a lot of hard work for Mr. Post, so secretary Mrs. Myers lends a helping hand when needed. Right: When the day is easy and the job is done, Athletic Director Mr. McEwan smiles in relief. Practical Arts can help you prepare a gourmet dish, sew a dress, or even change the oil in your car as evidenced to us by Home Economics teachers Mrs. Schroeder and Miss Wellmaker and Industrial Art teachers Mr. Jenkins and Mr. McDowell and FFA Director Mr. Inman. Not pictured is Mr. Hine. Guidance Counselors Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Traster are al- ways on hand to give advice, counseling, or help students in choosing classes for the next year. Even on the most hectic days, you are always greeted with a smile by the Athletic Director secretary Mrs. Stimple, Treasurer Mrs. Klapp, Main Office Secretary Mrs. Morrison, and Guidance secretary Mrs. Mount. Faculty 165 Test tubes jingling, chemicals mixing, and bunson burners glowing are all part of the science department which includes Mr. Maple, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Slaby, Mr. Heid, and Mr. Masten. Business teachers Mrs. Fritch, Mrs. Zacher, Mr. DeHaven, and Mr. Hale aid future businessmen in developing important business communication skills. Left: Superintendent Iran Floyd is often seen dropping by the different schools to make sure everything is running smoothly. Teacher’s Efforts Help Students Learn Basic Skills Mrs. Ginzer, the newest addition to the business department, prepares to edify the minds of her eager students. Fine Arts tantalize our ears and dazzle our eyes as art and music are brought to us by Mrs. Miller, Miss Nagel, and Mr. Brunner. Study hall supervisor Mrs. Heid manages to keep a smile on her face despite the sometimes unruly behavior of students. During the second semester she becomes the library aide. The Special Needs department takes great time and concentration to make sure the individual needs of the students are met. The department is comprised of teachers Mrs. Melton and Mr. Oliver with Mrs. Tillema and Mrs. Jabaay Serving as aides Faculty 167 Teaching Gratifying Profession Left: Nurse Jenny Tillema reaches in the cabinet for two more aspirin and a bottle of antacid during the February flu epidemic. Preparing students to be involved citizens are social studies teachers Miss Robinson, Mrs. Price, Mr. Sakel, Mr. Daubenheyer, and Mr. Baker. Molding the minds of future Euclidean mathematicians are Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Gross, Mr. Plomaritis, Mrs. Chastain, Mr. Orsburn, and Mr. Abbring. Retired teacher, Mrs. Myers, returns to KV to give a painting demonstration. 168 Faculty Writing is fundamental whether taught in English, Spanish, or German as evidenced by Mrs. Price, Ms. Brown, Mrs. Wiseman, Miss Jenkins, Mrs. Masten, Mrs. Eckert, Ms. Young, Mr. Mordaunt, and Mrs. Crosby. Efforts reflect KV athletic achievements as Mr. Hardy, Miss Flynn, Mrs. Hanley, and Mr. Watts pose for a picture in front of the trophy case. Mr. Bolka teaches students like Senior Randy Zylstra the skills needed for the growing computer field. Faculty 169 Unlike many teenagers these trees don’t need leaves to enhance their beauty, in nature simplic- ity is best. Clothing which sports advertising be- comes part of the in” crowd attire as represent- ed by Mat Kremke and Angel Holloway. No matter what’s in or what’s out, in clothes, thin is always in, with physical appearance as Mike Hurst’s poster reads, THOSE WHO IN- DULGE . . . BULGE.” Bulging with pride is manager Tom Sawyer who wishes his team good luck during sectionals. Pride can also be seen as students check out their sizes during the annual ring sale in the CAVE. 170 Ads ADVERTISING AUDIO UNLIMITED 506 North Halleck DeMotte In. 987-4885 Marilyn Benda Consultant 219 987-5454 Complete Wedding Service Gown Rental Department Prom Gowns and Tuxedos Hours: Mon.-Tues.-Wed.-Sat. 10-5 Thurv-Fri. 10-6 Other Ei ' enmgs by Appointment 524 N.
