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.

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.
