Volume 22 2701 W. Elwood South Bend, IN 46628 Various corners meet together to form the world in which we exist. Jack Gillean, like most teenagers, spends four years of his life in the protected world of high school preparing for what is referred to as the real world. Opening -« Title Page 1 o ur comer of the world The people at La- Salle are diverse and different. Everyone has their own special quali- ty, but we all come to- gether to form one spe- cial group, is Kathleen Gorman ' s way of de- scribing our corner of the world. Although we are all part of this group our uniqueness presents it- self through the num- rous activities in which we participate. Some students place top priorities in aca- demics while others capitalize on their ath- letic talents to find their niche in the student body. Kurt Ogorek com- ments, School is bene- ficial. It will help for fu- ture endeavors and in preparation for the real world. Tom Stevens, on the other hand real- ized running was some- thing that he was good at, It helps me relieve my tension, when I ' m upset. Many students also want to extend their interest in clubs. Acting has always been a way to channel emo- tions that would other- wise remain bottled up, said John Klawiter. Still there are those who are just bare- ly able to hold their own. However, what mat- ters is that our corner of the world can only be found on the corner of Elwood and Mead. — Kari Cohee Running around the corner, Deb- bie Jeffries meets the world straight on in the competitive field during a track meet. Although the Lions lost to the Riley Wildcats 21-0 on a cold, rainy night this crowd in our corner smiles at the rest of the world during the football homecoming dance. Students flock to McDonald ' s where their kid tendancies are brought out with Legos and other prizes in Happy Meals. Tate Ryan and Kevin Hallhead back to the se- rious side of their world. Opening Our Corner Of The World Theme Sitting on the corner establishes a temporary place for Deanna Bor- ders, Stacy Niedbalski, Stephanie Bendit and Mary Dean in the court- yard where many students relax during the lunch break. Being a part of our corner means you have school spirit. At the first Pep Assembly Terri Harstein and Sue Underly take an active part in LaSalle Pride. Not just a study hall supervisor Mr. Jerry Price assists Christina Ro- dela, Amos Williams, Regina Hous- ton, Heidi Holdridge and Yvette Kelly with a Math problem, result- ing in smiles and giggles. r Ivly corner of the world is plas- tered with post- ers and blares out heavy metal to the max. — Wendi Treber Opening Our Corner Of The World Theme , n our comer Life provides ups and downs. In our corner, we live with the good and bad. As children in ele- mentary school we were sent to the corner and contemplated why we were there. Now, in high school we approach our corners a bit differently, dealing with the pressures and amusements found there. Students often bring on the troubles of life by missing curfews, cramming for a test, failing to meet a dead- line, disobeying paren- tal directives, or cutting classes. We will someday re- flect on our high school years and reminisce again as we do now for the things already in our past. There are also man.y amusements that we have as we are growing up. Such as dances, par- ties, sporting events, and get togethers. These help to break up the daily routine. At LaSalle we share our past and future that make each one of us, an individual, In our corner. — Kari Cohee Knowledge of other heritages acts as glue holding our world to- gether. Robin Graham and Sonia Mvnlin take time to look at the arti- facts from Poland during October, Polish Heritage Month. Walking through the halls, at a game or dance the rapping rhythm goes on loud and clear.t,At lunch time Kenny Hilton, Cory Stokes, Fred Jeter, Randy Mallard and Adrian Philips make their own beat. ' J -- Opening In Our Corner Many actively seek the court- yard as a corner of the LaSalle world where they can grab a bit of free time from the hustle of a school day. Good communication takes a great deal of thought. Andre Ander- son manipulates words, trying to best phrase his thoughts fer a jour- nalism assignment. 1 think ev- erything I ' m in helps me get through school with variety. — Lori Coleman =JJ Being in school 1 80 days a year for 13 years provides the opportunity to meet all sorts for people. Tony Dean and Jessica Boyer found a friend- ship that makes being in their cor- ner special. Opening In Our Corner i pportunity knocks Just around the comer Webster defines op- portunity as a situa- tion or condition favor- able for the attainment of a goal. For many, high school offers a multi- tude of opportunities al- lowing students to begin planning their futures. Amy Overpeck believes that completing high school will give gradu- ates the advantage in the working world. You get a better education so when you enter the real world you have a better chance than others who didn ' t go (to high school). Throughout one ' s high school career op- portunities avail them- selves either within or outside of the curricu- lum. Senior Kevin Zu- gulski points out that teenagers have the chance to hold a part time job. Are some people less likely to take advantage of life ' s offerings than others? Junior Kim Porter thinks, some guys are always ready for a challenge where girls take a lot of thought and precaution on the same opportuni- ty. No matter what, op- portunities are out there. They could be f right around the corner. % — Kari Cohee I ' ffsing ber ingenuity and creativ- ity Shelly Loutzenhiser worlcs on enclosing her imagination in the plexi-glass box, a unique opportuni- ty for self-expression. As teachers help students expand or create their futures, they teach the students from their accomplish- ments as well as their mistakes. Joe Horvath discusses one of his print- outs with Mrs. Britton. Opening Opportunity Knocks Unlike the business world, high school provides students with the opportunity to be crazy and have fun doing it. Even silly antics like buzzing your hair and dyeing it to match your school colors seem a bit daring. During football season, Mike Stevens and Mark Johnson seized this chance to stand out in the crowd with stripes and jersey num- £ bers cut into their hair. g Seizing the opportunity to swim ■ competitively Dore Walkowski earned the most valuable player tard on the ' 86 Sea Lion team. F In high scbool, juniors and seniors begin to consider what they will do when they grow up. Each fall a Col- lege and Career Fair is held to sim- plify this decision. Chris and Beth „ Scott stop to listen to Cory Thomp- J son ' s explanation of MACIAF as t they wander from display to dis- a play. igh school is an opportunity to learn new abilities in the thinking forms. — Jim Albright Opening Opportunity Knocks 7 ions Live In The World 8 Student Life Divsion Moving faster and faster, a student ' s life is never ending. It continues through the hot summer, the interesting hob- bies, the whirling dances, up until the sparkling prom, and the ceremonial gradua- tion. Breaking the monoto- nous life in the fast lane are the weekends. Living in our corner of the world is fast living. On Fri- day nights, the students fly over to see the football and k ' ) h • ..   ' . i. , v it -)•-■ h •• ' E  - . 2 - Awakening in a strange part of the world can prove disheartening to anyone. But, when Jenny Cole- man had a flash go off in her face as well, she wasn ' t sure what was going Lisa Gillean and Denise Binder prepared themselves for the real world during the College Fair at Centurv Center. basketball games. On Satur- day, you and your friends might skate over to U.S.A. or catch that movie that you have been dying to see. Renewal of fashions on our corner are a big comeback among young kids. Dressing like your parents did when they were growing up is a fashion everybody is doing, from flat-tops to floppy pink shirts. After a long school year, everybody looks for a hot and wild summer in different parts of the world. Many kids head to the luxury beaches and scorching sand. The rest stay at home to catch up on the soaps and find jobs. The life of a student ends soon after graduation. You ' ve been preparing for the world for four years, and suddenly you ' re there. — Gregg Coldiron What In The World 1. What is the pivot point of your high school years? a. Graduation b. Prom c.

Homework would dominate our lives, and therefore, we ' d be very boring people. With a student life, we ' re able to kick back, re- lax, be ourselves, and leave be- hind the life of a student and live a students life. — Kimberly Szczechowski After the Homecoming game, Jackie Weiss, Heather Fite, and Deron Phillips jam to the Li- on ' s beat.

Taking A Break To Play It Cool In The Heat Of The Year 10 fter the last dismissal bell y rings in early June, it seems 4 to send students into a fren- zy knowing summer has fi- nally arrived. Decisions have to be made about daily plans, and for many, work schedules. For most, the answer is easy, just do anything to stay out of the heat. To Jennifer Helton, summer is for spending time with my friends , while Aaron Skubiszewski explained that Summertime is the time of the year for sleeping in late, traveling, and just about anything else you want. It is the time of the year all students love. To some students, the largest event that touched South Bend was the na- tion-wide Hands Across America orga- nization, held in May, 1986. Julie John- son says, It was really a rewarding experience. There was a feeling of Student Life Summer bonding and definite patriotism. It was neat to think of people, from shore to shore, holding hands. From July 5-6, the annual Ethnic Festival brought the welcome smell of Polish sausage, Mexican tacos, and Ital- ian spaghetti to downtown South Bend. One of the features of the first day of the festival, a record-breaking ninety- eight degrees, was the parade, in which the LaSalle Marching Band and Flag Corp. performed a routine that we worked on for many hours. said Flag Corp. member Cindy Hurst. Dore Wal- kowski and Carrie Hold agreed, during one of their lunchtime conversations that, Being part of the band was bor- ing and ridiculous at the parade. We had to wait for over an hour before we marched and to make matters, it was about two thousand degrees outside. Mia Willis disagreed saying It was fun, lots of fun because I was surrounded by my friends and we always had some- thing to see or talk about. Getting out of the heat, Jeremy Por- ter went to the mall and got totally radical. Senior Crawford did something dif- ferent with his break, he slaved as a dining hall manager at a summer camp up in Michigan. In the meantime, Chrissy Lang stayed home and got grounded because I never did anything right, according to my mom. Danny Nowicki went to weight training and ran every day. David Wills summed it up saying This summer was the best ever be- cause of all of my friends, the good times, and the great weather. — Louise Hold Waiting for departure for Florida, Jennifer Suiter, Tract Taglion and Ryan Beall grab a few last details to check on the current events that might appear in a question at the National Quiz Bowl Competition.

J. Bic way not have designed their pens to be eaten, but many a soft plastic lid has been chewed to uselessness. Although Tina Hugins is not ex- hibiting this habit, her pen has entered the dan- ger zone. . . the uncontrollable urges, easy to make, hard to break. Pumping iron was once a sport limited to the male population. Kim Hardy takes advantage of weight lifting in the fitness for life movement. f M ou ' ve become addicted! MM You ' re body can ' t stop doing 1 them; once learned never forgotten. Habits, either good or bad, exist. Throughout our lives we ' re constant- ly trying to improve or break our per- sonal habits. Good habits don ' t just happen, they have to be worked at just as hard as breaking bad habits. We all have these tormenting addictions which take their daily routine in our life. Denying this, Tammy_Zmyslo per- sists, I really don ' t have any habits. In opposition Tim Buchanon ' s list ex- tends from talking on the phone to mainly, I love to sing. Habits come and go. As we finally break one habit another forms and the process continues. The habitual nail biter is always trying to stop chewing away and the forever annoying knuckle cracker is always popping away. The iron pumper competes with the jogger. The guy having a nicotine fit usually dashes for the door at lunch while pen- cil gnawer is still swallowing splinters from his fourth hour test. The day- dreamers, class sleepers and hall roam- ers perform their wonts hourly. Habits can be very difficult to end. Mind-over-matter often helps. Marie Bubeleni comments, I play with my earrings a lot when I ' m bored, yet when I think about it I tell myself to stop. Jackie Way who has a very short temper says, sometimes I even count to ten. Improving habits or breaking habits, LaSalle has cornered the art. — Robyn Holy 12 Student Life Habits Chewing your nails is a common outlet in stressful situations. Anthony Berdie may be releasing tension or just pondering a thought. The wall bid them from the eyes of the teachers, but not from the looks of anxious friends. If Justine Baker and Karen Daugherty continue this, it could be habitual. Sleeping isn ' t necessarily a bad habit to break, but practicing it in Mr. Price ' s study hall could be treacher- ous to studies. Student Life -j q Habits lO ... A touch of everything; a taste of hfe hat people do with their ex- g A§ tra time varies as widely as J J the personalities, whether you hang out in the kitchen throwing together your famous choco- late cake with the flair of a chef, or slamming a tennis ball over a net to an unsuspecting opponent. Hobbies pro- vide relaxation because they ' re a depar- ture from the everyday routine. Kim Porter has found her niche in the cooking world, an ability she often finds put to task when cooking meals for her family. Porterhouse steak, an old family tradition, is Kim ' s favorite. Kim explains, You get a big roast, chop up little onions, green peppers and pour mushroom soup over everything. Raising animals takes dedication and hard work. Donna. Smuda enjoys this challenge and plans to work at raising and training dogs in the future, com- mented Donna. She claims, Caring for an animal could have you a best friend for life. Jennifer Marshall ' s favorite recrea- tion is writing. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated by Jennifer, I don ' t care what grade I get on a paper, but I really care what the teachers comment on it. After writing poems, she likes to share them with her close friends and if, by general consensus, the poem is good enough, Jennifer likes to enter her writing in LaSalles annual Creative Writing Contest. Many people enjoy writing as an imaginative way to ex- press their thoughts. Sports make an enjoyable pastime for many. Advantage can be taken of the beneficial side effects of athletic activi- ties; weight loss, stronger heart muscles, and better all around health. Keilawn Carothers remarks, I enjoy sports very much becaues it ' s fun, exciting, it teach- es you values in life, it ' s challenging, and you get to meet and compete against new people. Keilawn doesn ' t let his athletics get in the way of his grades; grades come first. Grades are a fallback in case you get hurt. Keilawn commented My family gives a lot of support both in athletics and academ- ics. Whatever your pick, your hobbie is a nice break from your life ' s routine. School and work is not everything, so get involved in a hobbie, and enjoy. Gregg Coldiron 14 Some modern bobbies have evolved from drudgeries: horseback riding is a prime example. Jennifer Milliken, decked out in cowboy boots, trots down a dirt road to the less hectic feel of the olden days.

Student Life Hobbies Flashing a smile at the world, Dennis Smith adds a kick to his life in Tae-Kwon-Do, where he is a green belt. Like all bobbies, dancing takes an awful lot of time and dedication to be a success. However, Serena Haab shows that, to accomplish the whole dancer, beauty and grace are essential to the bal- lerina.

Just enough light filtered through the small attic window to help me find my way around. Boxes piled on boxes, antiques lay in every corner, the room was filled with memories. I began searching through my grand- mother ' s belongings. I found old photo albums of ancestors I never dreamed I had. I found what seemed like ancient souvenirs from places she ' d traveled and also discovered an old cedar chest filled with articles from my mother ' s high school days. This wonderful wooden treasure chest was filled with gaudy jewelry of brooches and beads, with tight mini skirts and with short cropped pants that were even kind of cute. The deeper I dug the more I found. Soon I began pinning the brooches on my sweaters, trying on the pumps and lacy anklets, modeling the petite mini Student Life Fashions skirts. I plowed through more finding her dust covered yearbook. Flipping through the pages was like strolling down the halls of today. The faces were different but the fashions were similar. For instance, my mother wore the frilly socks just like Tammy Connors, and her friends had on cropped pants like Amy Overpeck. Her old steady even had a flat top like Brian Conley. The following Monday brought with it a whole new look. Was this the 80 ' s or was it really a renewal of the 50 ' s and 60 ' s? I asked a few of my friends what they felt about this cycle of fashions. Marne Jones commented I ' m glad they came back cause I ' ve always thought they were neat (penny loafers, bobby socks and rolled up jeans.) Judy Hessling finalized with I think it is neat how fashions come in and out of n style. The fashions of the 50 ' s and 60 ' s have come back in style and look better | than they did back then!

Dressed for the occasion, the fans filled the bleach- ers with red and black. The band played and the crowd cheered as the sp.rit lived on. The event became a memorable night although, the team was plagued by a major injury to our starting quarter- back. Mike Conley separated his shoul- der. Riley defeated LaSalle 21-0. Carlos Lee, however, was not effected by the loss because, I was only a sophomore, and I played my first varsity game. The half-time presentation of the La- Salle Homecoming court brought peo- ple to their feet. The princesses and their escorts tip-toed around the mud- dy sidelines as the crowns glistened un- der the lights. Defining homecoming LeAnn Ring stated, When 12 senior girls, who are picked by the whole school, are able to show their pride and spirit for the last time in their high school years. A reaction from a few lucky girls was, I wasn ' t shocked I made it, people were coming up to me in the halls say- ing they voted for me. commented Re- gina Williams. Michelle Leonard re- plied, Yes, I was shocked I made it. I didn ' t think I was as popular as the other girls. When asked about gallant escorts, they responded, Someone mature, dresses nice, and responsible. said Mi- chelle Leonard. LeAnn Ring looks for, someone fun-loving and wants to have a fun time. Sharon McBride chimed in with, a person has to be athletic. After the game the pride remained as the fans and Homecoming Court trav- eled over to the Lions den for a dance sponsored by Student Government. Bands Unlimited provided the enter- tainment. Earth Angel ended the oc- casion on a final note of goodbye. The evening had slowed to an end but not the pride.

The fretful jitters were not prompted by su- perstitions but the anxious moments the eleven young ladies endured as they readied themselves for the presentation to the student body. Here are a few of the reactions: I was so nervous I burnt my face while curling my hair. Yet, this wasn ' t all. Bad luck struck twice for Janet Fra- zier. My escort was so late they were stalling and I began to cry. Then all of a sudden he ran across the gym floor right when they called our names. Lisa Miner commented, I couldn ' t believe it; I snared one of my best hose. Penny Wachowiak thinks back with, I was nervous about falling down the stairs; my flower was shaking too. Yet, Melissa Stanchin didn ' t let Fri- day the 13th intimidate her. It was fun and I am glad I had the opportunity and priviledge to be on it (homecoming court) and hope every other girl who had this opportunity enjoyed it as much — Robyn Holy Joining the regal lion, the basketball homecoming court, Sean Chiszar with Melissa Grontkowski; Carlos Lee with Rosita Richmond; John Kosinski with Deb Wituski: Alan Delinski with Janet Fraiser; Lisa Miner with Tony Polizzotto; Steve LaCluyse with Melissa Stanchin: Tyetta Beattie with Lee Reed; Chris McLaughlin with Sue Underly; Randy Mallard with Cassandra Phillips; and Jason Blont with Latanza Howell, adds an extra touch of royalty to Tippecanoe Place.

Student Life q Prom ' 87 Ao ( fULduatc(M X7  Stepping into a new world _ unday, May 31, to T many of us, was the beginning of yet another fun- filled summer and moving a step up the ladder at LaSalle. But to 309 graduating Lions, it was the beginning of a challenge; the challenge called life. And, with that came new responsibilities, and the end to best times at the Lion ' s Den. With flowing red and black gowns, tilted caps, and anxious faces, the seniors strode, one by one, into the stuffy gymnasium, ready to be met with the proud faces of friends and relatives, who were eagerly anxious to be able to say You finally made it. And as the speeches con- tinued, and the Battle Hymn was performed, emotions be- gan to play a part inside of our graduates. Tears filled up in their eyes, as they real- ized that some of the friends they ' ve made in the past four years will be going down sep- arate roads, and they will not meet during the day to day life at L.H.S. anymore. But even smiles light up, as the adventures left to the future are finally becoming part of reality. Holding the red, leather bound diplomas, the seniors realized exactly how final the moment was. Several had mixed emotions about the ceremony that lasted a mere 75 minutes. And, for the class of ' 87, a general statement about graduation can be made. Graduation, is a wonderful time. It is a meeting of the past and the future, a time we think fondly of days that are gone, reflecting on the memories. It is a time to look forward to with hopes and with plans, and to wonder about days to come. Gradua- tion is the joy of a dream come true, and one that has just begun. As the recessional played, the graduating class of 1987 walked through the doors of L.H.S. for a final time, to go forth and celebrate their ending, and look forward to a new beginning. — Louise Hold After completing tour years of high school, Catherine Watson and Terry Dokey stand at the top of the class. Catherine was valedictorian with an overall grade point average of 4.0 and Terry was a salutatorian with a 3.9. 24 Student Life Graduation ' 87 Macbelle Fulce finishes her high school career with diploma in hand and a congratulatory handshake from Mi.

Education, whether under the charge of a tutor on a one to one basis or in a large school with classes av- eraging 25-30 students, cen- ters around academics.

Academics c)n Division Students participate I in the real world I Today ' s educators have recognized the importance of preparing students with actual hands-on experience. This often involves venturing out to partici- pate in community activities or jobs. Many cooperative programs have been set up to serve such a purpose. Co-ops allow kids class time for academic re- quirements and also training and or ex- perience of holding a job. Stephanie Hannah claims, DECA helps me to see what it ' s like to be involved in the busi- ness world. The home economics de- partment also offers courses such as Family Relations and Child Develop- ment, geared towards educating the youth in life skills, giving them a better chance at success in the future. Teachers, sometimes, do not have all the answers. When this rare event oc- curs, many choose to call in a qualified person to speak to the students. This gives a student the opportunity to seek answers to his or her questions. Accord- ing to Mr. Bognar, They have insight A genius here at LaSalle? Maybe we shouldn ' t go that far, but Dennis Zmys certainly showed great talent when helping develop plans for mov- ing the South Shore station to the airport. Since when is Calvin Thomas a minister?

This wedding was actually part of the Family Relations class taught by Mrs. Linda Lizzi, the purpose being to show how an actual wedding is run. and experience on certain subjects. Peo- ple who are experienced in a particular field can greatly help students. Other times, students are asked to speak to different groups in the commu- nity. On Martin Luther King Day, the Black Culture Society participated in ceremonies at the Century Center. Two students from LaSalle, John Klawiter and Kathleen Gorman, were asked to represent South Bend at a state wide student congress in Indianapolis against the use and abuse of drugs. Some choose to join in activities not related to school. There are church groups or volunteer work. Students and teachers alike are taking part in the 1987 International Summer Special Olympics at Notre Dame, giving their time and energy to help those less for- tunate. Others pursue hobbies or spe- cial interests. Participation in activities in the com- munity can help round off a students education, not only in an academic sense, but it can help them realize their capabilities and potential for success. — Kathleen Gorman Mark Kubiak is learning first hand how to build a house. Every year the Building Trades class builds a house which is then sold on completion. 28 Academics Community Interaction Robert Blakey, a professor at Notre Dame and member of the chief council for the house selec- tion commitee for presidential assassination, in- forms Mr. Disler ' s class about the Kennedy assas- sination.

That Is The Question One of the saddest facts of the 1980 ' s is the number of dropouts in the United States. Even closer to home is the num- ber right here at LaSalle. The class of 1987 started out with 441 students as freshmen in 1983. By the time they graduated four short years later the number decreased by 132 leaving the enrollment at 309. That ' s about a 35 ' o drop. Although some students trans- ferred a lot of them dropped out. Are students really aware of this problem? No, commented Paula Lapkiewicz. Probably about 20% drop out because they have to go to work. On the other hand, Amy Overpeck be- lieves that 32% drop out because they have a bad attitude toward school. Mrs. Cheryl Herman agrees with Amy that 32% drop out. However, she feels that they failed academically and socially. Both the students and teachers realize why the problem of dropouts occur. What is being done to solve this prob- lem? The SBCSC has sponsored a pro- gram called CHOICE. It ' s aimed at changing behavior, improving attend- ance, and helping middle school stu- dents achieve academically. On the high school level a new program called SUCCESS was implemented at LaSalle this year. This program involves chang- ing attitudes of students. Like CHOICE, SUCCESS works on behav- ioral and attendance problems. Hopefully in the future with the help of these programs and other new ones dropout numbers will radically de- crease. — Sheila Williams ' 83 ' 84 ' 85 SBCSC Enrollment For The Class of 1987 1923 1794 1596 Showing a positive attitude toward school, Charles Swann gets a jump on his assignments for the night.

Dropouts Q ( Academics J- Ho-Hum Homework It ' s A Fact Of Life No matter where you live or go to school, one thing remains constant in every student ' s life — homework. Just what is homework? Shawn Early thinks homework is just busywork that teachers feel they have to give their students ... However, she did note a redeeming factor that homework aides in helping students so that they don ' t forget what they just worked on in class. On a different note, Hurie Brown thinks that homework im- proves your skills in different subjects ... Angle Magiera sees homework as something boring yet helpful when you have to take a test because you ' ve done the work before. Because of the limited amount of time during a class period, Mr. Dorwin Nelson believes that homework be- comes essential, particularly in the more advanced classes. He also feels in every subject, it can act as good practice for college because professors expect you to do projects outside of class. Val- erie Witulski, who now attends Hofstra University, agrees and said that home- work prepares you for college work in and out of class because it gives you good study habits. The average high school student gets one and a half to two hours of home- work each night. Some responded that they don ' t attempt any of it, while oth- ers do about half. Students like Wendy Rotge usually get it all done. The overall reaction is that students feel that homework is necessary al- though it is boring. It looks like we are going to have to live with it no matter what. — Sheila Williams Trying to get a jump on his assignment for the night, Rob Wensits concentrates on To Kill a Mockingbird.

Academics q q Homework OO The Battle Of The Sexes In The Seniors Corner . . . I I Traditionally, females have been deemed inferior to males academically. The men studied academics courses while women were sent to finishing school to learn needle point and social etiquette. Recently, however, women have begun to take a stand against this and have set out to prove intellectual equality. From studies around the world, it seems self esteem has more to do with academic success than a person ' s sex. In Manchester, England, a test was administered to 2,005 male and female stu- dents aged 11. Results showed that a feminine self image was weakly linked to low academic ability and a masculine self image to high achievement. Boys were markedly more sex-stereo- typed than girls. 1379 male and female stu- dents aged 11-17 from Syd- ney, Australia were given a test. Females showed to be more positive about peer and school affiliations while males were more positive about home affiliations. At LaSalle no official tests have been given but Mr. II Boy Girl Gap Academics Jennifer Milliken creates with her sewing mactiine. Men still tend to siiy away from home economics. Dachel Smith Works in lOL im- proving her secretarial skills in a field that is becoming acceptable for males to join. Larry Cox seems to voice the general opinion of the teach- ers interviewed, There is a little difference in who does better. I ' ve had as many out- standing boys as girls over the years. Miss Ann Korb claims, We tend to stereo- type. You can ' t really say who is better, it depends on the student and their interests. Is there a true intellectual difference between men and women? The facts seem to say no as women begin to successfully participate in fields where they were previ- ously rejected. As Mr. Mi- chael Sacchini claims, How kids handle things isn ' t de- termined by sex. It is deter- mined by their maturity, home environment, and val- ues, which often come from parents. — Kathleen Gorman I 5 Girls are physically built different from boys I so do different liinds of push-ups. Here Tracy 1 White helps Tonette O ' Neal keep count. Boy-Girl Gap Academics 35 Take Note It Makes High School Go By In a lot of classes teachers write notes on the board to aid you when it comes time for a test, a quiz, or homework. Some people, like Tom Kiser, take the notes given to him so (they) can study them and get better grades. Other peo- ple, like Jon Pieper, feel that if you can remember the notes, why take them? Another type of note you could find in school is a note written between friends. Monica Mack thinks that these notes exist because you want to tell a friend something right at the moment that can ' t wait until later. Beth Over- peck feels that the presence of these notes directly links itself with boredom. A great number of students say that they ' ve never been caught passing a note. Does this mean teachers don ' t no- tice it and students get away with it? Maybe the teachers just don ' t care. Ac- cording to Mrs. Nancy Vandygriff, sometimes it ' s not worth losing your train of thought over. Just because it goes unsaid doesn ' t mean it goes unnoticed. A different type of note, not so com- monly thought of is the musical note. Many students can read and or write these notes because they play a musical instrument or sing. To a lot of people these notes consume a large amount of their time. Diane Nowicki thinks that without musical notes life would be dull and boring. The word ' note ' holds a variety of meanings. Each type however, influ- ences people ' s lives in a totally differ- ent way. Some types help us study, oth- ers catch us up on the latest news, and still others spice up our lives and enable music to enter our hearts. Notes appear frequently in most stu- dents ' everyday life. However, the notes differ depending upon the individual. Some notes are displayed with pride, while others hide away in the privacy of our bedrooms. Some fall into the bot- tom of the trash can never played, read, or studied. — Sheila Williams Taking a break from writing, Don Sarabyn 2 takes in the notes that Mr. Wayne Guiicema has £■ just taught his honors algebra trigonometry class, u Mastering most course work requires taking and studying notes. This is an absolute in Mr. John Bogucki ' s honors biology class where he ex- pects you to know the notes inside out and upside down. Learning to play the keyboard was never quite this unusual. Here, Tanya Lovings and Sue Bel- lairs are equipped with a set of earphones and a keyboard to hear only the notes they play as they pluck away at the keys.

Hard work and dedication are required to master the routines and music but, the success of a good perfor- mance makes it all worth while , states Karen Fuller, a member of the marching band. This band meets every morning first hour all year and before school during the football season. This year the band finally reached its goal of $20,000 for new band uniforms after several years of fundraising. Everyone gave a huge sigh of relief at this announcement but band director Willie Keyes was quick to reassure the school that the band would contin- ue to hold its infamous fund- raisers. After football season, with its half time performances, the marching band breaks down into other bands, some members in being in more than one band. There is Symphonic Band, Concert Band, which is a preparatory course for symphonic band, pep band, better known as Section C and jazz band. Concert band teaches the students the basic music skills such as scales, tone quality and rhythm while Symphonic band is a more advanced level. Students in pep band dedi- cate their Friday nights to making LaSalle ' s cheering section swing to the rhythm they set. People are coming to recognize the power this group has in lifting the stu- dents spirit and enthusiasm.

Mr. Zeal Fisher adds a little bit of culture to La- Salle by assuring that, al- though his students may not pursue a music oriented ca- reer, they will always have the ability to recognize good music. There are dozens of musicians wandering the I I halls at LaSalle, many of whom are in the orchestra. Their musical repertoire ranges from classical Mozart and Brahms, to the Big Band Era and beyond.

Clubs are a way to do this. Julie Urbanski comments You see the same people ev- eryday in classes. Clubs are good because you get to meet new people. Clubs are not only social outlets, they can be educa- tional too. From concentrat- ing on real life situations, looking into heritages, or ex- ercising a career choice, clubs are a part of school life. Kim Porter feels that, We, as students, need things that interest us, and time to get away from the regular school-day things. A Cre- ative Writing member adds It gives you a different learning experience. ' Clubs can also help you in every day life situations. Clubs like S.A.D.D. and Sur- vival Inc. help students cope with life ' s pressures. Groups like Parenting teach you how to cope with raising a family and the every day hassles that can go along with it. A Black Culture Society mem- ber claims that clubs can teach you something about growing up. Clubs get students in- volved with the school. Kelly Grounds states, it makes people enthusiastic about school. Another student feels that it shows school spirit. Every year club choices widen to bring new and in- teresting organizations to the students, which gives them more areas to explore, in turn provoking their interest into the school, into their lives, and into the world.

Lantern rj-t Organizations ' - A thletes Compete Against The World Athletes compete against odds, each other, other teams, cities, states or coun- tries, and most of the time it feels like they ' re up against the world. At LaSalle, athletes com- pete against Northern Indi- ana Conference opponents Adams, Clay, Riley and Washington of South Bend, Mishawaka, Penn, Central and Memorial of Elkhart and Michigan City Elston. Other area competitors are on the Lion ' s schedules, as are Michigan teams. Mid- western states may come face-to-face with LaSalle athletes in intra-state All- Star games or contests not affiliated by the school. The Lantern is proud to highlight the seniors of our school in our annual senior standout feature, In the Seniors ' Corner . . . , to let them share the special mem- ories that they have encoun- tered in their respective sports. Other features highlight special accomplishments achieved by LaSalle student- athletes, as well as honoring them. A study conducted by the Lantern sports depart- ment, articles on hockey and the track relay teams and a page dedicated to retired athletic director Harry Lewandowski are all new ar- ticles featured within the section. LaSalle athletes didn ' t conquer the world over the spring ' 86, fall, winter and spring ' 87 seasons, but with the sectional and NIC cham- pionships won this past year, it ' s safe to say they held their own in our corner of the world.

Sports rjQ Division « O New Additions To The Tradition VARSITY The debut season of varsity baseball Coach Scott Sill was a sucessful 13-12 one. Although the wins came out to be greater than the losses, the year was a roller coaster ride for the team. A six game losing streak early and beating six of their last seven regular-season oppo- nents late in the year were examples of the Lions growing stronger as the sea- son progressed. A 1-0 loss to Riley, de- cided in the last inning, concluded the 1986 season. Captains Jeff Hauteman and Junior Miller led the Lions throughout the year. Hauteman, now at Vincennes University, was among the leading hit- ters on the team with a .363 batting average and pitched his way to a sub- two earned run average. Hauteman also made second team All-Northern Indi- ana Conference at first base. Major contributors to the season in- cluded Hauteman, Dennis Ryans, Dave Ryans and Matt Miller, who all hit over .300. Dennis Ryans led the team with a .370 average and 19 stolen bases. Scott Severns knocked in 21 runs, whalloped three homers and hit above .250. The pitching duties were shared by Russ Buysse, Hauteman, Kurt Ogorek, Paul VanGundy, and Dave Ryans. The ' 86 season started out with a loss i to St. Joseph, followed by a brief win- ning streak of three games, including a double header sweep of Culver Military Academy. A six game losing streak fol- lowed with a narrow 1-0 loss to Wash- ington, then ranked with the state ' s best. The Lions took four of their next five, powered by a 9-8 victory over elev- enth-ranked Elkhart Memorial. After two one-run losses to Fort Wayne Elm- hurst and Clay, the team won six of their last seven games going into the sectionals. Wins during this period in- cluded knocking off the NIC leader in three successive NIC games, and win- ning the first annual New Prairie Invi- tational tournament championship. Washington, still in the top 20, Riley and Michigan City Elston fell to the pressure of being on top, as well as the rampaging Lions. The Lions took their 13-11 record to Clay Park to play Riley in the section- als. In the two meetings earlier in the year, LaSalle and Riley won one apiece. LaSalle was one call away, according to Sill, from winning. That call was a controversial play at third base that saw Mike Conley out after trying for a triple. The call could have gone either way, commented Conley. The final score was in favor of the Wildcats, 1-0, in a game that Sill said the team played their hearts out. Look the ball into the glove, is what Ron Moreno is illustrating to Kurt Ogorek at the Clay- LaSalle game. Sill will be looking for individuals to help motivate others, as he enters his second season. Two of Sill ' s hopes for ' 87 include improving the defense and adding a new tradition to the LaSalle baseball program; stars on the hats of players who have performed well on the diamond. This will just be another ad- dition to the tradition of LaSalle baseball. rjA Spring ' 86 Baseball Future Varsity JUNIOR VARSITY The 1986 JV baseball team, under the direction of head coach Richard Collins, compiled a 10-5 record. The success of the team as a whole on the field does not always reflect in the record. The amount the varsity im- proves through the efforts of former JV players may make a season successful for the B- team, as well as having a winning record. The ' 86 squad had both. The Lions finished 9-4 in the Northern Indiana Con- ference and 6-2 in the NIC ' s western division. Chris Cass, Sean Chiszar, Mike Conley, Alan Delinski, Jim Haute- man and Shawn Pittman, each one one-time JV play- ers, all saw varsity action in the year. In all, the JV and varsity records combined were 23-17. The season, while being successful, was hardly spec- tacular, as the JV ' s longest winning streak was only three games. The three game spurt came against Clay, Ril- ey and Washington late in the season. The junior Lions won two straight twice while never losing two in a row. Opening the season with wins over New Prairie and Riley, and beating confer- ence opponents Mishawaka and Penn after mid-season, the squad could never keep the momentum rolling. Leading the B-team at the plate was Tom Lewandowski with 11 runs batted in, two sacrifices, 12 base hits, and a .400 batting average. Mark Johnson had the most plate appearances and led the team in innings played. Ed Urbanski scored 12 runs, Alan Delinski stole 14 bases, and Mike Siglawski cracked two triples, all tops in their categories. Defensively, LaSalle was led by Darrin Bongiovanni, with a perfect 1.000 fielding average, and Jim Hauteman, with 32 assists. Bongiovanni led in the pitching depart- ment with a 1.66 earned run average, followed by Mark Johnson with a 2.29 ERA, Art Voohees with a 2.64 and Chris Johnson with a 3.60. The team had an ERA of 3.08, and a batting average of .293. Second baseman Darrin Bongiovanni anticipates the play as center field Ed Urbanski readies himself in the background.

Winning was almost everything around the freshman camp during the 1986 season, as the team posted an 8-3 record and captured the South Bend city championship. Burkart cited nine players in particu- lar as major contributors to the fresh- man cause. Joe DeBoever, Allen Jack- son, Greg and Joe Horvath, Byron Sigh and pitchers Jeff Coldiron and Neil Miller. Freshman offensive leaders included Jackson with three doubles, a .346 bat- ting average and nine runs scored, De- _ Boever with eight runs batted in and a 5 .364 average, and Miller, with ten stolen ?■ bases, nine walks and tied with Jackson with nine runs scored. Out on the mound, Neil Miller led in almost all the pitching categories. Miller led in innings pitched with 24, strike outs with 22, and complete games with three. Jeff Coldiron had the lowest earned run average with a 1.33 and had a perfect 3-0 record. Burkart forsees DeBoever and Jack- son to go far in the sport. If LaSalle keeps turning out freshman teams, a combined 14-6 over the last two sea- sons, the team, not just its players, will go far.

Head coach John Wood- ruff led his team to seven victories in their first seven games, before suffering con- secutive setbacks to Misha- waka and St. Joe. The Lions got back on track for the last half of the season, however, and were victorious in eight of their last nine games. The girls ended the regular sea- son with a successful 15-3 record overall and 12-2 in the Northern Indiana Confer- ence. The opening round of sec- tional play found the Lions coasting by Clay 7-3, only to be stopped by Washington in the sectional finals 4-3. Strong, quality pitching from captains Maria Leake Discussing a recent play in a La- Salle victory are Coach Dave Bar- hydt and Shelly Loutzenhiser. and LeAnn Ring were the key to the successful regular season. Leake, a senior, led the team in the pitching de- partment with a 0.5 earned run average and 102 strike- outs in 65 innings while post- ing an 8-2 record. Ring, a junior, provided the Lions with their only complete game no-hitter of the year and owned a 7-1 record. Offensively, Tina Hugins led the team with in batting average at .368 and seven ex- tra base hits followed by Lisa Miner ' s .300 average and Debbie Smith ' s 18 runs scored. Linda Wieczorek, Tracie Archer, and Kerry Conners proved valuable on offense as well. Overcoming the loss of all- NIC pitcher Leake may be difficult but coach Woodruff will be looking toward an- other all-NIC pick, outfield- er Hugins and second team all-NIC member Ring for help on improving last year ' s outcome and returning for another trip downstate.

Competitive Kickers VARSITY The 1986 soccer team ' s most competi- tive game of the season wasn ' t even a win. Obviously, it was a loss. But ac- cording to coach Rollie Lichnerowicz the game with St. Joe last year was the most exciting one, even though we lost, 2-1. We were supposed to get blown out but it was tied until they won it in the last two minutes. To be that competi- tive with a state championship con- tender is a victory in itself. The ' 86 soccer squad was very com- petitive, losing many games by one or two goals. One of those games was a thriller at Warsaw which found the team up by a goal with under a minute to play. Warsaw tied the score with 30 seconds to play and sent the game into overtime, eventually beating LaSalle. The team lost two seniors in Sean Decker and Travis Shell. But with most starters coming back, Rollie is antici- pating an even more competitive season for ' 87. Ken Slisz, Tom Viner, George Wesphall and Gerald Williamson all re- turn from last year. Strong leadership from seniors Ryan Beal, Jeff Fryer, Chris Scott, and co-captain Kevin Zy- gulski will be sought by Rollie, who re- turns to LaSalle for his third season. When the opposition wasn ' t on the ball, Sean Decker got his kicks, as pictured below in the victory over Washington. Accurate shooting from Kevin Zygulski helped trip up and hold down opponents. Zy- gulski returns to the ' 87 squad, which hopes to improve on its 1-11 record. Row one: Coach Rollie, Ryan Beal, Scott Zygulski, Eric Zolman.

Captain Tony Polizzotto seemed to be in the swing of things as one of the area ' s top golfers. Polizzotto, who finished first in the Culver Military Invitational, led the team with a 74.6 average. Golfers Finish Strong Against Tough Competition VARSITY First year golf coach John Nagy says he believes there is tough competition in the NIC, it ' s a tough conference. We finished strongly in sec- tionals and came on strong later in the season. The 1986 golf team provid- ed twice as many victories as the previous year ' s team in posting a 4-13 record. Eight of the team ' s 13 losses were by ten points or less. The Li- ons fell prey to Northern In- diana Conference competi- tors winding-up 1-8. Coach Nagy relied on Ed Zielinski, Doug Stachowiak, , John Edmiston, Eric Mat- zinger, and Captain Tony Polizzotto. Polizzotto was LHS ' top golfer with a sea- son average of 74.6. He was the recipiant of NIC all-con- ference honors, along with finishing first in the Culver Military Academy Invita- tional. Polizzotto is coach Nagy ' s choice to go the far- thest on the team and possi- bly become pro in a few years.

' 1- 1 ' ■€ L W1 - 1 Spring ' 86 7Q Golf ' Trouble Breathing? Blame It On The Smoke Squad BOYS ' TRACK SMOKING IS HAZARD- OUS TO YOUR HEALTH, the Surgeon General warns. LaSalle ' s Smoke Squad, a team accustomed to burning up the track, if not oppo- nents, likes to think that their smoking will be hazard- ous to opponents ' healths. In 1986, Coach George Jones ' Smoke Squad ran off a 7-3 record, led by co-captains Angelo Lloyd and Jon Grant. The squad burned to a 6-3 Northern Indiana Confer- ence record, putting them among the co nference lead- ers all season. Winning important meets against tough NIC oppo- nents Adams, Central and Penn kept LaSalle in the running for the top spot in the Conference. Placing in the top four at the Valpo Re- lays (3rd), the Junior Varsity Classic and the Sectionals helped build momentum for sending Lloyd and the 400 meter relay team downstate, as well as providing a firm foundation to build the ' 87 team on. Jones expects to improve on his team ' s 7-3 record of last year and by the time sectionals come I want to be as competitive as any other team in the sectionals. With only three losses to avenge in ' 87, the Smoke Squad would definitely find themselves in a pretty good position, if they were to succeed. Their momentum is al- ready building for return- trip tickets to the state meet. Count on the roads being ablaze between South Bend and Indianapolis is when the state meet rolls around. Rounding the second turn of LaSalle ' s track, Angelo Lloyd, Tom Stevens and Tyrone Howell lead two Adam runners. LaSalle prevailed, 73.5-51.5. Silhouetted against a May sky, a LaSalle high jumper clears his height en route to a team victory. The Smoke Squad isn ' t all speed, sometimes it ' s sheer strength or agility, or both.

Teamwork A Key On Relay Teams SPRING FEATURE Teamwork. The work of- ten stirs visions of an end run in football, a fast break in basketball or a double play in baseball. It is also an integral part of track. Track may be thought of as a sport for individual achievement, such as throw- ing the discus a record dis- tance, or beating all others over the hurdles and to the finish line. But every team member has a responsibility to try and produce points so the team can win the meet. Each member of a relay team has a responsibility also . . . run fast and don ' t drop the baton! Three of the four LaSalle relay teams did just that, and they all found themselves in Indianapolis for the 1986 State Championship meet. Second, third and fourth place for all-underclassman teams insured a happy ride back to South Bend. The second place finish was turned in by the 400 me- ter relay team of Michael Le- Sure, Jerry Price and Charles Swann, all sopho- mores, and Ray Griffin, a junior. Tony Robinson and Jon Grant served as alter- nates for the foursome that turned in a time of :42.85, less than a half second off of the winning time of :42.44. Turning in the third place effort was the 400 relay of the girls. The team of Tonya Lovings, Tonia Munlin, both freshmen, Letitia Beckett and Sonja Richmond, both juniors, turned in a time of :48.9. Beckett and Richmond returned to the 1600 relay and were joined by sopho- more Chantelle Lloyd, and junior Regina Williams. A time of 3:58.0 for the mile was good for fourth. Two individuals qualified for the trip dowstate. Angelo Lloyd represented the Smoke Squad in the 800 me- ter run while Lovings sprint- ed in the 100 meter dash. The performances of the girls ' 400 and 1600 relays, plus Lovings ' efforts earned the Lady Lions ninth place in the team standing out of 391 teams. With the exception of Lloyd (Angelo), all will re- turn for the ' 87 season, mak- ing the space limited on the bus to go to Indy. ■■■-._ r - S— V ' i VB Upper left: 400 relay Lower left: 1600 relay Above: 400 relay Boys ' Track — Feature Spring ' 86 o-i LaSalle Girls ' Track Season record 9-2 NIC r ecord 7-2 ' LHS St. Joseph 62 47 Riley 67 42 Mishawaka 64 45 Clay 72 37 Adams 72 37 Elston 54 55 Penn 56 53 City Meet 1st Washington 96 13 Princess Relays 3rd Memorial 36 73 Sectional 2nd Central 61 48 Regional 6th Co-captain Lori Kile sprints for the finish line after completing 100 meters of hurdles.

Winners never quit and quitters never win, is what Coach Jerry Price constantly preaches to this dedicated group. In 1986 the lady runners were 7-2 in the Northern In- diana Conference, 9-2 overall and proudly support a 19-3 record over the past two years, with room for im- provement, according to Price. The Lady Lions were city champs in 1986 but experi- enced a very dark moment in the Mishawaka sectionals. Having the title all but wrapped up going into the fi- nal event, the 400 meter re- lay, a controversial lane vio- lation disqualification handed Penn a two point sectional victory. Price set a few goals for the girls to shoot for in the up- coming season. He would like to experience an unde- feated dual-meet season, take the city and secitonal championships, win the Princess Relays and become a bonafide contender for the state girls ' track title. The ' 87 squad will be with- out the help of last year ' s captains Lori Kile and Kim Szymanski. Strong leader- ship from Regina Williams and Letitia Beckett will pro- vide the backbone of the team that has 14 point scor- ers returning, including Chantelle Lloyd, Sonja Rich- mond, and traditionally strong relay teams. Price feels that Adams and Elkhart Memorial will pro- vide his team with competi- tion, but you can bet a little competition won ' t have these winners quitting. 82 Spring ' 86 Girls ' Track Shadow Covers Team In 1986 Campaign GIRLS ' TENNIS Individual achievement and youth dominated the 1986 girls ' tennis team, fin- ishing the year with a 6-10 record. Living in the shadow of the ' 85 squad, the only winning girls ' tennis team in LaSalle history with a 10-4 record, the Lady Lions found the going tough, if not alto- gether dark. The season had a few bright spots, one of which shone through at a tourna- ment in Merrilville. LaSalle beat Fort Wayne Northrop 4-3, before losing to the host school 6-1. LaSalle went on to beat Lake Central 4-3 to capture second place honors. In sectional action, the team advanced to the semi-final round with their second win of the season over rival Washington, before falling to Marian, 4-1. LaSalle ' s number one sin- gles player proved to be an- other bright spot in ' 86. Deb Wituski, at the number one slot for the second season, won 205 games en route to a 14-3 season. Wituski ad- vanced to the Culver region- al before being stopped in the first round, 6-1, 6-2. Other contributors to the Lions ' cause were sisters Me- lissa and Amy Stanchin, team captains, at numbers two and three singles, re- spectfully. Melissa owned an 8-8 record while Amy fin- ished at 6-10. Karen Daugh- erty also saw singles action, winning two matches while losing one. Wituski and Co. will re- turn with great expectations in 1987. Last year we were a young team, commented Wituski, who returns as do both Stanchins. The top three singles ' players saw La- Salle tennis history rewrit- ten once and in ' 87 they might witness mor e bright spots and less shadows than this years ' 6-10 squad did.

The road to the NIC championship seemed dim after an opening game defeat by Riley, 16-6, and a heart- breaking loss to Washington due to a freak accident. After this loss Coach Niedbalski commented next time there will be no mistakes, and brother, are they going to get it. The Lions proved to be a tough team, aided by team captains Chris Faulkens, Matt Urbanski, Tim Conley and Steve Martin. These players led the team to a con- vincing victory over Adams, 25-0, and a clutch victory over Clay, 7-6. These two im- portant wins set the emo- tional and physical drive for the Lions to destroy their West-side rivals Washington 31-8 in the playoffs just as Coach Niedbalski had predicted. This conquest enabled the Lions to finish the season on a victorious note and clinch the NIC championship.

Kelly and Lee teamed up offensively to average two touchdowns per game. Kelly, who lead all rushers, aver- aged over 100 yards per game and scored the winning touchdown to upset Wash- ington. Gillean and Phillips lead the defensive team in tackles and assists.

Sound good? Now the bad news: They won only three games in nine outings last season. But the LaSalle football program has shown a steady improvement over the last two years. The team was filled with optimism as they entered the season and the jamboree on August 22 and a near capaci- ty crowd at Jackson Field found the Lions pumped and ready for action. They swept past Riley 7-0 in a dominate victory and battled to a 7-7 tie with Adams. They were ready for the regular season. A tough loss to Adams in the opener in the crisining of School Field, however, seemed to dim the Lions spirit as they lost the next two games. A thrilling last minute victory over Elkhart Memorial lit a spark that would ingnite some two weeks later. Things weren ' t looking so good for the 1-5 Lions, who had suffered two more losses, before they entered the Mishiwaka game.

It was the first such ti- tle for the team since 1975, the last of a string of domi- nating championship teams coached by Lenny Rzes- zewski. Rzeszewski has since retired and now fifth year coach Larry Groth can enjoy a cross country champion- ship and maybe a little domi- nation of his own. Next sea- son looks very good with four of our top six back, forsees Groth. Led by Tom Stevens, the lone captain, the team ran to an 8-4 record, the City Championship as well as the Sectional title and a third place finish in Regionals. These were all high points according to Groth. Stevens was named to the All-North- ern Indiana Conference first team for his efforts through- out the season. Stevens didn ' t confine his efforts to just running for La- Salle. South Africa will host an international meet this summer that Stevens earned the right to run in this past fall. Terrance Scott, a fresh- man, also got in some run- ning outside of school. He placed highly in a National TAC meet in California after the school season was finished. Although not having a team, the girls were repre- sented in cross country by Chantelle Lloyd and Amy Stanchin. There must be five participants in order to form a team. Improving on last year ' s 7- 5 record and winning sec- tionals are two ways the La- Salle cross country team has improved over the past few years. This year may be the first in a run on sectional championships for LaSalle. Planning on the perfect time to make his move, Tom Stevens keeps pace with St. Joe ' s Hans Weber.

And as with any new program, success did not sur- face during the first year. The team lost all ten games including the sectionals, but Coach Daugherty wasn ' t dis- appointed. I was pleased with the performance of our girls. The girls had a lot to learn and did very well. While we did not win, we did establish a core from which to build a better team in the future, commented Daugh- erty. By the time sectionals rolled around, the ladies proved they had learned a lot. Leading up to the tour- nament, they had previously been outscored 34-0 by oppo- nents in their last three games. In sectionals against Riley, they lost 2-0 in a close contest. The tournament game was perhaps the toughest loss. The girls played very, very well and could have won as easily as lost, ex- plained Daugherty. Captain Karen Daugherty led the team with strong de- fensive support and showed excellent ability to move the ball toward opponents. Tammy Gaby proved out- standing as a sweeper on de- fense and Tracy Archer dis- played talent as a goalie before injuring her leg late in the season against Clay. Coach Daugherty feels Taw- nya Albright, Nickie Bru- nette, Chris Mangano and Monique Williams all pro- vided excellent support at their positions as first year players and will fill key posi- tions in 1987 as second year veterans.

Tenth year coach Jim Kowalski depended on the singles spots for the ' bulk of the team ' . Gregg Coldiron (6-7) edged out Tony Polizzotto (7-6) in a close race for the number one and two spots, while David Behling held down the number three spot posting a 3-10 record. The top doubles spots belonged to Ryan Beall and Henry Mark. Jeff Frier and Chris Scott claimed the number two spot. The team goal as they entered the 1986 season was to achieve a 7-6 record. The boys who practice in the summer usually do well, while the boys who don ' t practice usually make or break the team, commented Kowalski. The N.I.C. ' s depth makes the competition good. With more depth and dedication from the kids, I feel we can compete. Also, more parental input would be a key to a good, strong season. The team will be without the services of four year letter winner, captain and MVP Tony Polizzotto next year, but Dave Behling and Gregg Coldiron will be expected to lead the team into the upcoming season.

There were more people from the opposing team at our home games then from our own student body, ac- cording to the coach. But the ladies did their share of winning, too. Five seniors, Regina Williams, Penny Wachowiak, LeAnn Ring, Lisa Miner and Kim Vandeveer have carried on a tradition and made winning typical at the Lion ' s Den. Coach Archambault looked to the seniors for leadership and found it. Captains Pen- ny Wachowiak and LeAnn Ring were major team contri- buters as was Regina Wil- liams, who coach Archam- bault feels has Olyimpic potential. Even though the overtime loss to St. Joe brought a loss of confidence and the sec- tional loss to Adams brought the season to a close, the girls really enjoyed themselves. It was a real fun season, stated LeAnn Ring. Coach Archambault is re- tiring from the coaching scene, but hopes to have in- stalled a certain pride in the underclassmen.

Coaches ' comments SPECIAL COPY In a recent survey taken by the Lantern Sports Depart- ment Varsity coaches were asked their opinions on the subjects of drug testing high school athletes, student sup- port at games, the money their respective sport re- cieves, and coverage in the South Bend Tribune, The Explorer, and the Lantern. In response to the poll, al- most 60% of the coaches fa- vored the drug testing plan, while 40% were against it. 100% of the coaches over- whemingly felt that LaSalle sports are lacking the stu- dent support they feel the teams need and deserve, and 80% felt their sports recieve enough money while lO ' i. said no and another 10% re- fused to comment. Most coaches felt the coverage of games by the Explorer and Lantern were fair but the Tribune coverage could be better. Girls Soccer coach Doug Daughtery commented on student support and Tri- bune coverage. I was ap- palled at the lack of student support. The athletic pro- grams are for the students and I think their support and enthusiasm should reflect this. I am grieved at the lack of space for our sports by the Tribune. They do a poor job of reporting game outcomes, expecially for teams on the losing side. Boys Soccer coach Rollie Lichnerowicz Crowds like this at home football games pleased Coach Boocher. but do other sports recieve enough student body support? feels the same way. The Tribune tends to give more coverage to better teams.

Kari Szalay ii Coaches ' comments SPECIAL COPY COACHES ' CORNER — continued from page 94 Drug testing high school athletes, however proved to be the hot topic and most controversial subject. Coach- es ' opinions provided a wide variety of answers. Volley- ball coach Linda Archam- bault stated, It ' s a great idea. I support it lOO o, but Wally Boocher, head foot- ball coach argued, I ' m against drug testing on the high school level. I believe there are too many things asked and violate rights, be- cause (college and high school) athletes are true amatures. Softball coach John Woodruff provided an- other point of view. It seems that people worry about policing athletes in- stead of developing them. I often wonder why athletes are singled out from other extra curricular activities, such as band, debate, etc. Scott Sill, second year base- ball coach quipped, I ' m in favor of random drug testing. We should try to follow the college program. Although not a controver- sial subject, student support was highly criticized by many disappointed coaches. Coach Archambault noted, There was not enough sup- port; we had more from the opposing team than our own student body. It ' s sad! Girls ' track coach Jerry Price af- firmed, The student sup- port is very poor. It ' s sad that a team as successful as ours doesn ' t recieve enough support! Boys ' and girls ' tennis coach Jim Kowalski mused, We got good sup- port from the opposing team and parents. Finally coach Lichnerowicz optimistically stated, The student support at our games has been lax, but I believe it should in- crease as soccer ' s popularity grows. On the topic of coverage on LHS sports in the Lantern, Explorer, and the South Bend Tribune, most coaches felt each did a fair job. Coach Sill said, You ' d always like to see more follow-ups on ev- ery game and a line score in the Explorer, but the Tri- bune coverage has gotten better on high school sports the last few years. Coach Boocher answered, You can always get more. The Tri- bune is fair, but the Explorer does the best in my opinion. Finally, when asked if they recieve enough money for their sport, eighty percent of the coaches interviewed said yes. Coach Boocher and coach Woodruff each claimed, We get our fair share. Lichnerowicz point- ed out, we usually get what we want. Daugherty con- cluded by acknowledging, I have absolutely no com- plaints. Harry Lewandski and LaSalle High School bent over backwards to sup- port us! Fall 86 ' Volleyball 95 Varsity Rises From Ashes VARSITY Lion Cente T Scott Sever ns looks to shoot against Ell iiart Memorial. A 10-13 record for the 1986-87 varsity basketball squad may have been looked upon in many years as a sub- ' par effort. After the disas- trous 1-19 campaign of the previous year, however, the season could be seen as a pleasant one. Coach Nat Pittman ' s squad put together a respectable season, being only two games under .500 for the year and a loss shy of a winning record in the Northern Indiana Con- ference. Led by senior high-scorer and captain Shawn Spriggs, who compiled 327 points in his All-Metro final year, the E Lions ended up a game away f from the sectional champi- ■3 onship game after a loss to Riley 77-57.

An early season bright spot found the Lions with a 5-1 record and a shot at the South Bend Holiday Tour- nament title. Poor shooting in the first half and a huge hole dug by Adams spelled defeat by the score of 64-46. Including the loss to Ad- ams in the tourney, the Li- ons then went on a three game losing streak, falling to Adams again and then to neighborhood rival St. Jo- seph ' s. A victory over Elk- hart Memorial, 74-50, ended the slide after which the team lost five more, includ- ing a rescheduled game against Riley in which the Cats won their first game ever over LaSalle in the Li- ons ' Den. Winning half of its last six games, LaSalle appeared to be gaining momentum for its opening round sectional bat- tle against Marian. A loss during this period almost turned out to be the high- point of the season as LHS outscored Michigan City Rogers from the field but the state-powerhouse Raiders scored over 40 freethrows en- route to a 82-67 victory. The regular season ended with a one point loss to Plymouth, a team that was beaten soundly by the Lions in the Holiday Tourney 68- 46. Marian then fell before Riley trounced LaSalle for the second time in less than two weeks, ending an up and down season of rebuilding and heavy reconstruction for .LaSalle ' s varsity basketball team.

The team, under the direction of coach Drew Danik and court leadership of center Chris Faulkens, guard Terrance Scott and guard Corey Fair, started the season out on the right foot. The team started out by winning three of their first four games. One victory over St. Joe, 38-36, another, over Marian, 47-29 and a triumph over Schmucker, 27-23, were key victories in the Lions ' season. What looked to be an ex- tremely promising season, and maybe an NIC champi- onship, quickly slipped out of the Lion ' s grasp by losing all of the next five games, in- cluding losses to Riley, 35-27, and Adams, 46-35. The team regained some of their spirit and determina- tion by winning two of their next five games, but lacked depth in the tourney where they were upset 33-31 by Clay.

By putting an effective press into effect, the squad was able to roll over Adams in the city ' s JV tournament, 43-38, behind the strong play of Keith Szymanski, Adrean Phillips, Neil Miller and Carlas Lee. Using the game as a spirit builder, the team went on to lose a close game to Riley in the Champion- ship game. The JV team went on to lose four of their last seven games, but Disler said he was extremely impressed with the determination of the team in the second half of the season.

This goal was not obtained, but Koehler was happy with his team ' s progress. So when the 1986-87 season began, Koehler stressed individual improvement and insisted the team could be a winner. The ' pool sharks ' developed individually and into La- Salle ' s fourth best swim team in the school ' s 22 year history, bringing a winning home record to LaSalle ' s na- titorium for the first time since 1972. Leadership was an impor- tant characteristic aiding the shark ' s rise. Six seniors and six juniors were the back- bone of a team that found seventeen lettermen return- ing. Brian Colson and Pedro Hijar were the captains.

A pleasant surprise of leadership was found in freshman Jay Jump as he set the school record in the 100 yrd. butterfly. Other major contributors included seniors Dave Devenport, Rob Perkins, Mike Baker, and Hijar. Juniors included 1985 team captain Jack Gillean, Mike Conley, Sean Chiszar, Rob Carroll, Tom Moritz and Andre Price. Improved time by sophomores Brian Conley, Gary Fischer, Jim Talboom, Steve Te- Roller and Billy Lloyd made their class valuable to the pool sharks success.

Wig- fall, a 30 match winner, placed third at Indy with Thomas, a 31 match winner, placing fifth. It was the first time La- Salle has had two wrestlers place at state and also win over thirty times in a season. Semi state competitors included Wig- fall who brought home champion hon- ors, leraci with runner up status and Thomas coming in fourth. The team came in ninth overall. Three regional champions included Wigfall, leraci and Calvin Thomas along with a second place finish by freshman Paul Troupe. Junior heavy- weight Pete Macri and freshman Pres- ton Fleming finished fourth on the team that brought back third place. LaSalle was runner-up at sectionals, winning the 119, 126, 155, 177 and | heavyweight classes with leraci, Flem- . ing, Wigfall (for the third time), Thom- as and Macri. Wesley Lee, Troupe and Jonathon Thomas came in second in the 98, 132 and 185 classes and Jim Walkowski finished third. Individuals that stand out on coach Brent Lea ' s squad include Troy leraci and Chester Wigfall, both senior cap- tains and both real hard to replace both for leadership, talent and work ethic, to put it in Lea ' s words. Wigfall finished with 78 career wins, and school records in both takedowns in a season and career. leraci ended his high school career with 64 career wins, and the two combined to win 80% of their matches. Lea comments Calvin Thomas also is a force to be reckoned with at 177 pounds. Thomas, a junior, won only five times in ' 86 compared to his 31 this season to land him the most improved title. Another notable individual is assis- tant coach Andre Scruggs, who as a wrestler or a coach has served on the team for 14 years. He is the junior high head coach and is the only man to wrestle on and coach a sectional and regional team, according to Lea, who continues to call Scruggs my right hand man. Scruggs is also an 80 match winner at LaSalle. Competing in four invitationals this year, the Lions fared well. Placing sec- ond in the Charger, fifth at the Culver Military Academy, fourth at the North- wood and tenth out of 23 teams at the Mishawaka Invitationals, LaSalle pro- duced eight champions. leraci won at Elkhart and Northwood, DeRon Phil- lips at Northwood at 112, Wigfall at Elkhart, Northwood and CMA, and Calvin Thomas and Paul Troupe at Culver. This year ' s team finished with a 5-5 overall record and a 4-5 record din Northern Indiana Conference competi- tion. Lea calls the ' 86- ' 87 squad not a good team but one with good individ- uals. The team was really young, sometimes only two-thirds of the kids had experience, continued Lea. Of the State finalist Troy leraci confers with coaches Lea and Scruggs, to Lea ' s right. five freshmen seeing varsity action, all had a .500 or better record, with Troupe and Fleming advancing to semi-state and regionals, respectively. Next year Lea expects to have both Thomases, at 177 and 185, Macri at heavyweight. Troupe at 132, Fleming and Phillips at 126 and Lee at 98 back to provide good balance to a team where it is rare to have good big guys. We usually have better little guys to middleweights, Lea points out. With only a couple big holes to fill for next year, LaSalle should be looking for the wrestling Lions to continue their winning ways among the cold weather sports. 104 Winter ' 86- ' 87 Wrestling I Varsity First rove: Preston Fleming.

Minnick, third on the team in points this year, has played the sport for nine years. He has represented LaSalle on the Adams team his freshman and sophomore years, playing varsity both seasons. Adams compiled a 15-7-1 record this year. LaSalle did have a hockey team, once upon a time, but lack of funds and participa- tion doomed the team that won many city champion- ships in the ' 70 ' s, under the direction of Mr. John Murray. I was alone with the puck going at the net. I went in be- tween, back and forth, around some guys, then the last guy rung my bell. — Chad Minnick Winter ' 86- ' 87 -. -. r Wrestling — Feature iUO 3D ' s Pay Off For Track GIRLS ' AND BOYS ' TRACK The LaSalle track teams have had a high rate of suc- cess over the numerous sea- sons, due to the Desire, Dedi- cation and Determination shown by both athlete and coach. Long hours of practice on the parts of the girls ' and boys ' teams have shown up in terms of state rankings and individual achieve- ments. On the girls ' side, an early season top twenty state ranking proved to be a bright spot. Things grew slightly dimmer as the season drew on; however, for coaches Johnnie Johnson ' s and Jerry Price ' s girls. A team error at the city meet put one runner in two many events and the ' 87 City Championship was taken away from the team. Getting edged out at section- als wasn ' t all that bad as the girls ' team sent seven indi- viduals and both relay teams, one of which hasn ' t been beaten in dual meet or secitonal competition for three years, to regionals. In Coach George Jones ' s smoke squad camp, anticipa- tion fo a State Champion- ship seemed hard to control. Returning all four members of the state runner-up 400 re- lay of a year ago, along with having the top sprinters in Northern Indiana, earned the team a seventeenth place ranking in the final poll.

Remember when Dave Mag- ley won Indiana ' s most coveted basket- ball award, and brought the title of Mr. Basketball Cassopolis Rangers? Chances are Mr. Harry Lewandowski will. Lewandowski became athletic direc- tor at newly opened LaSalle in 1965, coming from Riley and Washington where he taught and coached at Frank- lin Elementary School. Attending Iowa University while serving in the Army Air Force, Lewan- dowski served his country before gradu- ating from Ball State after World War II. He received his bachelor ' s degree in physical education and English and a master ' s in education. He was also a Rhodes scholar nominee at Ball State. The father of three children, Lewan- dowski was the recipient of a roast held at St. Adalbert ' s Family Center last spring. Speaking at the occasion were Superintendent Robert Fallon, Athletic Director Ron Bella, School Board presi- dent Marcus Engdahl, LaSalle princi- pal Robert Sikorski, assistant principal Micheal Sacchini, former principal Roy Hafner, former Washington athletic di- rector Jose ph Redling, former LaSalle basketball coaches George Griffith (Richmond), Steve Bennett (Lafayette Catholic) and Mark Johnson ( Fort Wayne Dwenger) and LaSalle ' s first football coach Stan Klaybor, among others. The only athletic director LaSalle has known since its doors opened re- tired at the end of the 1986-87 school year. These memories and countless others will never be forgotten by Lewandowski, people associated with him, or LaSalle High School. He was LaSalle sports for 22 years. He will be missed.

Stars on the hats of players who per- formed exceptionally well on the diamond couldn ' t take the place of victories for the ' 87 squad, however. We would ' ve traded all our stars for just one big victory, was the view shared by juniors Sean Chiszar and Mike Con- ley. Although the team knocked off 14th ranked Clay at mid-season, the Li- ons failed to pull off a .500 season. Senior leaders included captains Scott Severns, Paul VanGundy, who lead the NIC in strikeouts most of the season and received the Sportsmanship award, and Dennis Ryans, who lead the league in hitting, was among the leaders in stolen bases, and was selected team MVP. The club never really re- covered from an 0-5 start, managing to finally break the streak in Michigan City against Elston. The team nearly climbed to the .500 mark by beating Mishawaka, Penn, Culver Military and Clay, and were a game away from defending their New Prairie Invitational title be- fore falling to the 10th ranked host Cougars.

And re- peat they did! Winning the NIC with a record of 8-1, the team was ranked as high as tenth in the state. The only two regu- lar season losses came at the hands of NIC contender Mishawaka and state ranked Concord. LaSalle was also in conten- tion for two regular season tournament championships. In the Mishawaka Invita- tional, the possibility of a re- match and revenge with the host school loomed, along ' with a possible confrontation with 1986 state runner-up Rogers of Michigan City. Fifth ranked Merrilville hosted a tourney in which LaSalle participated in, in preparation for the sectionals. Early on, inconsistent hit- ting plagued the team as LeAnn Ring pitched superb- ly and practically carried the team. The ladies survived a close call at Clay as the Lion bats were sluggish and Clay was able to send the game into extra innings. Once again fine pitching by Ring held off the Colonials until the bats were able to come around. Two weeks later the ladies brought it all together, beating Adams to claim the NIC championship. flR ' ' m BflBHH Bt ' - w ' - H l IB! 5 Senior Debbie Smith was one reason the Lions bafs turned red hot during the season and helped them to become the tenth ranked team in the state after the Concord game.

Students spend four years of their lives in school, meet- ing new people, keeping old friendships alive and learn- ing. For the new freshmen this may seem a little over- whelming, but they catch on quickly. Soon they become sophomores, or more appro- priate wise fools , and think they know all the an- swers. By the Junior year, the system is pretty much down pat and decisions about the future are being made. The seniors have the routine in hand.

He was born the youngest of four boys on the west side of town. Accord- ing to him, his parents were hard work- ing honest, and very strict. His child- hood was carefully planned — high school, college, and a well led life. He was an above average student, very obe- dient, but not very active. I worked for my brother in his grocery store and res- taurant. This man, is our principal, Mr. Robert Sikorski. After high school it was on to college. I wanted to get into e ducation because I liked the environment, tells Mr. Si- korski.

I don ' t want to change, only im- prove. For example, the attendance sys- tem needs reviewing and I ' d like to of- fer alternative programs for students who don ' t quite have the incentive to make it. states Mr. Robert Sikorski.

You can see them wandering about the halls, and they are among the enthusiastic sup- porters of the football and track teams. Who are these devoted people? The vice-principals of LaSalle, Mr. Bill Gil- key and Mr. Mike Sacchini. Mr. Sacchini started at LaSalle as a Human Relations Director during the civil rights movement and then went on to teach history. I like LaSalle; it has a great student body and the staff is irre- placeable, states Mr. Sacchini. Earlier in the year, Mr. Sacchini was offered the vice principalship vacated when Dr. Stella Batagiannis assumed the principalship at Hammond-Clark High School. I took the job because I feel that I can do more for the students in this position because I have more power, explains Mr. Sacchini. When the school board asked Mr. Sacchini if he would remain vice principal here his reply was, Yes, I ' ve decided to stay. Ball State is privileged to have Mr. Sacchini for five weeks during the sum- mer to receive his administrative certif- icate. Mr. Bill Gilkey was born in Macon, Mississippi to strict, hardworking par- ents. They encouraged me to turn to- wards higher education, tells Mr. Gil- key. Here at LaSalle, he has the job of attendance, discipline and special pro- grams. He sees LaSalle ' s environment as having a multicultural mix and an academic program that prepares the student body for a multicultural world. Mr. Gilkey has made a tremendous mark in the three years he has been at LaSalle. I ' ve tried to be out in the halls during all passing periods and take part in extra curricular activities as much as possible, said Mr. Gilkey. What does this vice principal intend to do with his life? I eventually want to become a princi pal somewhere. — Jennifer Clark 120 I I I Vice-Principals Faculty J Davis, Eleanor Deacon, Rose Disler, Jack Faulkens, Eddie Fisher, Zeal Forrest, Peggy Fuchs, Harry Gamble, Dennis Gilkey, William Goheen, Ruth Gramza, Tom Groth, Larry Guikema, Wayne Hartman, Rebecca Heiderman, Kathy Changing their routine from being vice princi- pals for a moment, Mr. Bill Gillcey and Mr. Mil e Sacciiini try juggling apples instead of the every day problems that find their way to the vice prin- cipals ' offices.

Head of the math department, Wil- liam Robinson said, As a junior in high school, I decided to be a teacher. Sometimes childhood dreams die hard as Mr. Eddie Faulkens found out. I wanted to be a baseball player and I also wanted to be truck driver. I don ' t know why. My dad told me I had no chance to play baseball because of the long time it took to become a major league baseball player. He wouldn ' t let me sign a minor league contract. He made me stay in school. Also finding out that baseball wouldn ' t be a career move, Mr. John Murray said, I wanted to be a profes- sional baseball player and a lawyer. I got a tryout, sports had allowed me to finish college so I decided to help other people become successful by coaching and teaching. Mr. John Woodruff jokingly replied, Bigger. But seriously, a big time football player. Because I didn ' t get my first wish, to be bigger, I decided I was smart enough to be a coach. Start ing out as a tomboy, directly ef- fected Mrs. Susan Sipetz ' s future. I was a real tomboy when I was little and it stuck with me. That ' s why I decided to become a phys. ed. teacher.

Although not all teachers grew up to be what they had dreamed, as teachers they have the unique opportunity to help their students fulfill their dreams or survive the disappointment of changing directions. - isfcir 122 Childhood Dreams Faculty Landry, Anita Langel, Richard Larson, Helen Larson, Johanna Lawshea, Henry Lewandowdki, Harry Lizzi, Eugene Lorenc, Pat Lips, Lorraine Lykowski, Rosanna Malone, Patrick May, Barbara McDonnell, Dar ' eii„- McKibbin, Ka;en McLaughlin, Patricia I was hoping I would be a baseball player, but I couldn ' t hit a curve ball, said Mr. Ben Hoevel who played for Ball State University.

Classroom situations range all the way from a squeaky note passer to an imitation of a bar room brawl. Sitting behind the desk of a student these scenes may appear pretty scary but be- ing a teacher and having to deal with these occurances can be a whole new ball game. This brings up the question of, Do present day teachers recom- mend teaching to their students? I would always recommend it, said Mrs. Ann Meyers. It ' s always chang- ing; it ' s never boring and very reward- ing. Mr. John Woodruff thinks personal- ity plays a key role in teaching, I think that teaching is more of a personal thing than an intellectual; a person ' s personality has to fit into teaching. You can ' t recommend it to everybody be- cause there are certain people who may have the intellectual ability to teach but not the proper personality. Agreeing with the other teachers, Miss Elenor Davis said, I like working with young adults. The pay isn ' t what you could get in industry but you can ' t beat the calendar. I think it is ideal. According to Mr. Pittman, First of all, you ' ve got to like people and enjoy putting in a lot of extra hours. You have to enjoy the awards of people opposed to the monetary awards. Summing it up, Mrs. Pat Lorenc be- lieves, If you like kids, varity, insanity and you don ' t care about money then teaching may be for you. — Keri Berry 124 III Recommending Teaching Faculty Scott, Rosanne Sikorski, Robert Sill, Scott Sipotz, Susan Swanson, Cecelia Szuesits, Dorothy Threatt, Carolyn Timmons, Diane Toth, Dorothy Trzaskowski, Betty Vandygriff, Nancy Vogel, John Wigfall, Doris Williams, Diane Wolf, Christia Woodruff, John Wright, James Zolman, Jean According to Mr. Bill Robinson, A strong de- sire for logic and order is the factor which divides the mathematicians from the language arts peo- ple. Pointing to the backbone, Tomorrow Pittman, Melanie Kazmierczak and Dionne Carroll discuss the movement of the spine. Tomorrow hasn ' t thought of teaching, but if she did, she would teach elementary.

Last year, her open door policy was into the princi- pal ' s office at LaSalle. Now, however, Dr. Hudson only graces LaSalle on occasion. Her working hours are now spent at the central education build- ing. Dr. Hudson grew up in Gary, Indi- ana under the tutelage of strict par- ents who encouraged her vocational route into education. She stated, My father was the real reason I got into education. From Day One, he never stopped encouraging me. After years of teaching, Dr. Hudson got the opportunity to step up. The South Bend Community School Cor- poration (SBCSC) offered the position as vice principal at LaSalle to Dr. Hudson. Three years later, once again oppor- tunity knocked and Dr. Hudson be- came the principal. Being principal was a great experience for me. The student body and staff of LaSalle are so warm and fun to be around. Dr. Hudson left the principalship last year to fill a new position in the SBCSC central administration. My title is Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education of the South Bend Community School Corpora- tion, explains Dr. Hudson. What is next for this woman of the ' 80s? I hope to become a superinten- dent someday. Hopefully somewhere near South Bend. — Jennifer Clark Stopping to relax and give a smile, Dr. Hudson sliows that her open door policy still prevails. 126 Mil Our Former Principal Goes Big Time SBCSC Administration Front row: Patricia Tuner Bail, Eldridge Wbitey Ellis.

Gathering his paper and notes, Mr. Doug Es- tell leaves for another classroom visitation. Mr. Estell was a member of the North Central Evalu- ation Team. Getting graded comes with being in school. This year, LaSalle High School had its turn to be under close scrutiny of the North Central Evaluation team. The team released its full report to the South Bend Community School Corpo- ration (SBCSC) and the LaSalle admin- istration. However, principal Mr. Rob- ert Sikorski gave permission to the Lantern to advise the student body of the summary. The team found LaSalle to have an environment which was comfortable, sensitive, friendly, and student-orient- ed, with a feeling of togetherness. The evaluation team found the staff and ad- ministration competent and interested = in the young men and women of La- i Salle. ■2 As well as highlighting the strengths, the evaluation shared some concerns. The team felt the communication be- tween the feeder schools and some de- partmental programs might be stron- ger. They felt that the staffing was inadequate in the nurse ' s and athletic director ' s offices. The team noted the school plant lacked facilities for the physically handicapped. Recommendations the team left La- Salle and SBCSC were to provide provi- sions for the handicapped, improve the communications between feeder schools, and correct the staffing and fa- cility inadequacies. As a final note, the members of the North Central Association ' s visiting team agrees with Dr. Johnetta Hudson, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education, in calling LaSalle one of the best kept secrets of South Bend. They continue by extend(ing) to all the persons in positions of leadership their very best wishes for the success. Does LaSalle Pass The Test Faculty 127 One of the biggest events that occurrec in Indiana happened on May 8, 1987. Oi this day Governor Robert Orr signed th. A+ program for Educational Excellence This program consists of salary increase for teachers, monetary awards for im proved performance, personal evaluatioi of students, and the lengthening of th school year by five days. Increasing the school year, is the mos controversial of them all. In an extensio wide survey of the school year, the majoi ity of the teachers said, Absolutely not! On an overall basis, however, the opinior split almost 50% with variations of th yea , nay responses. I cuuld support a long school year if students really took school seriously. - Mr. Ben H. jtivities J t fall i that catet;ory. — Mrs. .Judy Li QQ Remembering The Year Faculty The e xo ' Corner Roaring loud at one of the last pep assemblies of the year and of their high school career, these se- niors yell out ' 87. ditor Betty Banasiewicz Kari Cohee Class Of ' 87 Seniors 129 Bonita Albano Richard Anderson Trade Archer Marvin Ayers Kenneth Bajdek Justine Baker Michael Baker Bryan Ballestero Betty Banasiewicz Ann Barbara Karen Baxter Ryan Beall Bryan Beals Tyeta Beattie Jeff Beatty Letitia Beckett Timothy Bell Denise Binder Steven Birkla Karri Birthwhistle -j Qy-i Albano-Birt whistle J-OvJ Seniors Jason Blount Mario Boiling Darin Bongiovanni Richard Botello Richard Brown Marie Bubelenyi Timothy Buchanon Becky Cahall Darrin Chandler Jennifer Christiansen Michael Clark Daniel Clevenger Carla Coalmon Michael Cogdell Brian Colson Jon Colson Tammy Connors Robin Cornells Brent Crawford Jill Cronk Blount-Cronk -t n-t Seniors J.

Come on we won ' t hurt you. Many an inno- cent, unsuspecting freshman has en- tered high school not knowing what he was getting into exactly, but hoping for a diploma. Most students feel confined and antsy long before the door springs open at graduation. When the cage is open and the Lions are pushed out with diploma in hand, ideas of freedom run rampant. Brent Crawford plans to head for Orlando, Florida and soak in the sun. For Andy Kulpa leaving the cage will be his chance to reach for his goals and be the best that he can be. However, many of the 297 graduating seniors might be surprised to find the cage they couldn ' t wait to get out of is more secure than the jungle they have entered. In the jungle, with many unchar- tered, dangerous paths for which they may or may not be prepared, forms the world where instead of dress codes or tardy policies it is survival of the fittest. — Kari Cohee Scott Severns, Mike Kajzer and Jason Blount clown around as senioritis sets in, only to be cured when the cage door springs open in May.

Applauding his officers, one of the class sponsors, Mr. Conrad Damian, said that the junior officers have worked like surgeon steve- dores. Enthusiastic, coopera- tive, smiling, unselfish, and tireless. They have been a team of jewels serving the class and engaging their classmates in spirited class pride.

I bet he ' s old enough to have fought in the Civil War, you think to yourself as your eyes start to get heavy. Finally, you can ' t help it. Your head falls on to your desk and your eyes are glued shut. The next thing you know you ' re on the beach. You and that ' special someone ' are watching the sunset. RING!!!!! Hey nerd, wake up. It ' s time to go to lunch. Many students have had this happen to them before. They just can ' t fight that irresist- ible urge for sleep. One of these victims, Shawn Dishman, explains that, I always fall asleep in History. He just talks too much, and it ' s so boring. But Ruth Mul- churska disagrees. The only reason I fall asleep in English is because I don ' t get enough sleep at home. And it ' s the same for a lot of other kids too. Some of us work until twelve and have to come home and do our homework. Half the time we don ' t get to bed until one or two in the morning. But what ever the reason, sleeping in class is something that al- most everyone has done or fought once in his high school career. — Cathy Williams Mark Twain probably never thought that Huck Finn would be re- quired reading, much less a pillow for someone ' s weary head.

Because, the junior class is not harried with the hassles of S.A.T. ' s and col- lege applications, they are a prime target for this advice. So why not just kick back and relax? Don Sarabyn feels that I enjoy dim light and listening to soft music so I can let my mind wander and get all my tangled thoughts and feel- ings out. Diane Hemig re- laxes by laying in bed, lis- tening to Whitney Houston, because I eventually fall asleep — and sleeping is very relaxing. Listening to music isn ' t the only way to relax. Some people relax by sitting down and turning on their favorite program. Avelanna Ringh- offer relaxes the most by sitting back in a La-Z Boy and watching T.V. It gets me away from school and other nerve racking things. Spending time with some- one special is another way to relax. I like to cuddle up with my boyfriend — it takes things off my mind. ex- plains Julie Slater. Traci Werner figures that the only way she can relax is by go- ing out with my boyfriend because we make each other laugh.

Many of us had childhood -idols, and all of them for different reasons. Leslie Minder idolized ' Jenie ' , off of ' I dream of Jenie ' because she was magical, while Raegan Luther looked up to ' Grape Ape ' for the simple rea- son that he was strong. Childhood idols are someone we could all shape our lives after explains Kim Porter. Dawn Vaughn believed that they were just something to look fttr- ward to.

Keilawn Carothers, the junior class vice president, has shown many positive as- pects through his simple writing sample. Because of the usual spacing, he is said to be straightforward and de- pendable, while his high stroked t shows creativity and dreaminess. And lastly, the extra time spent on the tail of his signature shows that he is outgoing, and gen- erous, but yet obedient. As Mindy Wray, the 87 Lantern Editor, displays one of her favorite sayings, she also reveals many unknown views about herself. Her legi- bility shows much self confi- dence and her need to be ex- travagant, which is clearly stated with her wide, well- rounded letters.

Teenager after teenager supposedly agrees with this assumption, as they com- plain about curfews, restric- tions, and the constant nag- ging, which often leads to arguments, and eventual groundings. But often enough, teen- agers secretly hide a small corner of their hearts away from their peers, where, down inside, they feel deep gratitude to their parents, as they realize how overwhelm- ing life would be without a strong, parental hand to guide them. And, so, as is the case with most assumptions that be- come rumors, it was proved false by many teens. One of these was Sandy Hold, who confidently said, with a smile, Yes, I get along with my parents. Many reasons have been pointed out for the cause of the constant rivalry between teenagers and their parents. One of these is the restric- tions set by most parents, on going out. Robert Carroll states that, My curfew ' s usually about 1:00, but it de- pends on where I ' m going, and who I ' m with. While Karen Fuller admits that I don ' t have a set curfew. My parents trust me to come in at a decent time. A lot of juniors also see their parents as grade push- 158 Preston -Sanders Juniors ers, as does Kirk Preston, who easily says, They really worry about my grades, and if I mess up — it ' s simple . . . I get grounded. Eric McBride just says, Yes, they worry about grades, but there ' s just one rule — I can ' t make straight F ' s. Another battle that can be brought on, is about future plans. But in most cases, as in Donna Smuda ' s, they just say it ' s up to me, while Shawn Dishman wanted to add one simple comment, saying, they want me to go to college, but I ' m not, so they just let it lie. All in all, the junior class seems to be able to honestly realize that their parents aren ' t prison-keepers, but they ' re friends, and they ' re supporters! — Louise Hold - ¥ Sandsmark, Mike Sapusek, Mark Sarabyn, Don Schweizer, Andrea Scott, Beth Scott, Tony Sebelski, Shawn Siglawski, Mike Skees, Christi Slater, Julie Slisz, Kenneth Smith, Bryan Smith, Kimberly Smith, Konsihyn Smith, Raymond Smuda, Donna Snyder, George Sorukas, Kimberly Sparks, Bill ' Speeks, Tammy Spitz, Jennifer Stanchin, Amy Stanley, Ralph Steinmetz, Amdy Lecturing bar for the 1,000th time on how to make her dollars stretch, Mrs. Polizzotto gives her daughter Amy some spending money.

They are building up bad habits that will get them in trouble in the work- ing world. But with the excuses come the consequences. For exam- ple, if you get 5 tardies in one class, a letter is sent home. On the 6th tardy, your par- ents are contacted, and on the 8th tardy, you ' re put in in-school suspension. In- house and letters sent home are good because if they didn ' t have them, people would take advantage of it. said Deanna Laureys. But Mark Bourden feels that the tardy rules are too strict. A person who accumulates a lot of tardies is described in many different ways. David Behling said he feels that a person who accumulates a lot of tardies is very lazy, un- thoughtful, and disturbs the rights of others to learn. — Cathy Williams As of March 23, LaSalle had 8000 tardies.

Listen! Guess what I heard. Yester- day Pat got caught ... Yes, another rumor stalks its way along the eagerly listening ears of the student body. What exactly makes a rumor? A lengthy lie? Heresay? Or all of the above? All of the above, because ac- cording to the Random House Dictio- nary a rumor is A story or statement in general circulation without confirma- tion or certainty as to the facts. Now with a reason for starting ca- nards and the definition, what path will it take? Will it become a malicious gos- sip or remain pure fun? Malicious gos- sip, because people love to gossip about each other, comments Ann Mulett. Adding to Ann ' s statement, James Sprite says The worse the story is, the better is sounds. People don ' t want to hear the true facts. It ' s the nasty and mean kind of stuff that grabs people ' s attention. With a different view, Elaine Harper feels, Rumors don ' t start as rumors. Most of them start out as truthful sto- ries than are transformed into one enor- mous lie. Terri Becker replied, I don ' t listen to rumors because they ' re stupid and aren ' t true. So why should I waste my time listening? Many of her sopho- more colleagues disagreed and re- marked, People definitely listen to ru- mors because students are always in someone else ' s business.

Flores-Greene Sophomores 167 B, ridging The Gap Between The Two WORLDS Life presents deep chasms to be crossed before one is able to move on. Most often thoughtful human beings build bridges to span these problems. High school offers a natural break to cross between the lower classmen and the upper classmen. Most often this bridge is built and anchored into place during the Sophomore year. Nikki Treber reflects back, When I was a freshmen I just blew things and I had a pretty tough time. This year ev- erything is starting to calm down and stabilize. Like Nikki, many students reach a point in life when new responsibilities develop. Making impressions, good or bad comes with being in high school. An ill behaved Lion at an extracur- ricular activity does very little to dent his own reputations, but he is identified with LaSalle and so tarnishes the name of the school. Derek Wright feels that this is a major responsibility, I think that representing your school well is important. Do the underclassmen see this gap and can they pass over without faulter- ing? Sara Zolman says she has, I ' ve matured because I ' ve had more experiences with different things. I have the responsibility to make my own decisions and to make the right ones.

Children see their world as a place of wonder their eyes take in every sight, and their imaginations run wild. Some of their imaginations work overtime. Amy Pierce saw things in the attic at- tacking her. Myndi Wright, as a youngster, was able to somewhat somehow turn a be- loved part of almost all of our child- hoods into a fear, as she admits, I was afraid of my teddy bear. He might come alive. As we ' ve moved out of childhood and into our teenage years, our fears changed.

Some of our fears have continued from our childhood. Eric Vanasdol has realized this because he is still afraid of heights; I don ' t wanna fall — no, I don ' t want to land. Still, as we continue through high school the real world becomes more and more a part of our every day life. John Bergman is just one of us that has de- cided that life is scary, because it ' s so complicated. Mayzell Long agrees, saying I ' m afraid of failing in my fu- ture; I want to be successful in whatever I do. -| nr} Severns-Strang Sophomores Almost without fail, the night light slays the monsters huddled in the corners of a child ' s bedroom. However, fears in the teenagers world can be eliminated with maturity and experience. Being overwhelmed by the mounds of paperwork in just looking for a job can be frightening.

Shawn Early and Wendy Williamson concen- trate on perfecting their ink prints during Mr. Stivers ' sixth hour art class. Gracefully the pencil glides across the paper, hours, possibly days pass, and what was once a bunch of scribbles emerges into a beautiful piece of art. These young artists take their talent seriously, but with their seriousness comes a lot of fun. Their wild and ad- venterous imaginations help create paintings, drawings or sculptors to please and inspire those around them. Joe Horvath stated, I took art because I like expressing my thoughts in my artwork. Their seriousness continues on into specialized fields of art. Such as Vince Sorukas, who replied, I specialize in shading because it ' s easy, but I want to work with different forms of art. Or as Kurt Przybysz said, I specialize in pencil drawing and shading, but I ' d like to work with different forms so I can make art my career. Giving the overall picture of this year ' s artistical talent, Mr. Al Stiver ' s said, Our students are just as good or better than any of the high school students in South Bend. These students truly are our L eonardo de Vinces of the future. pOQl Wh eeler-Zolman Sophomores 179 The ' • Corner Learning the ropes of High School keeps the Freshmen uptight.

Friends, How Many Of Us Have Them Whodini Whodini sings, Friends, how many of us have them, friends, the ones you can de- pend on. To a freshman, this may be a common feel- ing. Being a freshman is quite an adjustment. Often the only way to get through the bad times is by the help of friends. To Trina Moore, a friend is someone to tell your problems to and go out and have fun with. Standards for choosing friends vary. To Stephen Henry, friends are people who listen to the same music that you do.

After questioning a few freshmen, it doesn ' t take long to realize that the mem- bers of ' 90 have mixed thoughts about their new status. Stephanie Jones sees a major difference in study habits. It ' s harder to study for a test in high school be- cause you ' re responsible for the material. Michelle Ear- ly stated, the homework takes longer to complete, so if I know I ' m going to have a test, or an assignment is due, I don ' t wait until the last minute to get it done. Com- ing from a parochial school, Nikki Ballinger finds the number of people in the halls to be overwhelming. There are so many people here, it ' s unbelievable. Tracy Eitler commented, The teachers really get angry when your work is late or incomplete. Aaron Kinzie, on the other hand, took a more laid-back approach. He says that his biggest responsibility is be- ing on time for class and staying awake once I get there. — Kristi Brubaker Trying to figure out how to do bis English, Jonathan Thomas takes a legal peek at Kahala Pickens ' work. -1 Q4 Dulcet-Glasper Xo4 Freshmen Gleason Kelly Gleva, Robert Godette, Tim Gordon, Dina Gormen, Daniel Gosc, Tricia Grabarek, Angela Graham, Sara Graham, Tammie Graham, Tonya Gregory, Matthew Grocke, Theodore Grontkowski, Jennifer Grounds, Kelly Grzeskiewicz, Darcy Haab, Serena Haggen, Jeanie Hall, Donal Hankins, Bridget Hanis, Rodney Hannah, Jose Hardy, Kim Harris, Jacob Harris, Denyatta Harris, Sean Harris, Selena Harris, Tom Harrison, Charles Michelle Early eyes a pile of books that hints at just a part of the course work she ' ll encounter during her high school career.

Although they considered it successful, more hard work is needed to reach the goal of $2000 to $3000 for their se- nior prom. Even though meeting their goal for prom is important, it isn ' t the only concern. Try- ing to motivate the freshmen class academically is another problem being confronted. Kim Hardy explained, I ran for office because I want to be an example for my class and in the process help make school enjoyable. Lisa Max- well commented, While do- ing fund raisers is important, so is motivating students to do better academically. Lily Mark said she felt pressured instead of motivated when she remarked, My brother pushed me to do things be- cause he doesn ' t want me to have the problems he did en- tering high school. But I have to admit it gives me a good feeling knowing I ' m class President and at the same time I ' m helping my fellow classmates. Matt Gregory sighted a different reason for running to become a class officer. He concluded, I ran for office for it gives me satisfaction to know I have input into what hap- pens among the freshman class.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the gym, in the boys ' lockeroom, discussion ranges from who made the winning basket in Friday night ' s game to ways of convincing Dad to surrender the car keys on Saturday night. Although there are some who take it as upperclass- men, most of the high school population take the required year of gym as freshmen. Kelly Gleason comment- Departing ' from the curriculum, Susan Sumpter joins in the fun on a Friday, a free day in gym class. ed, I like gym because I get to hang around with my friends. Leigh Reid saw Phys. Ed. to be beneficial when she said, I like gym because it helps me to stay in shape and keeps me from getting generally speaking, FAT.

Fun: Prevailing Over Boredom What in the world are freshmen supposed to do for fun? Most have a curfew and aren ' t old enough to drive. Both of these definitely re- strict what they can do. However, quite a few fresh- men feel there are things to do when life in general starts to get dull. Monica Mack commented, I go to the mall, parties, movies, or ice- skating for fun. The most fun I ever had was when I went to Great America. I was with my best friends, and we real- ly had a great time together. Then there are those who thrive on extra-curricular ac- tivities.

Gene Williams put in a dif- ferent ' twist ' , I play around on my computer because I ' m always learning new things on it. Although they ' re fresh- men, the class of ' 90 have definitely proven that they know how to successfully fight off boredom. — Kristi Brubaker Being at the bottom rung of the ladder can have its brigtit moments.

Most students use this time to go on dates or just hangout with friends. However, when you are a freshman you ' ve got two op- tions: one, hope that a friend with a license wants to go out; or two, your parents are willing to act as a chauffer. Results of a poll of the freshman class indicated that in a majority of the 9th graders attending parties. However, the class of ' 90 var- ies in interests. The poll bears out that in times like today its unusual Going to football games or other athletic events give freshmen some- thing for fun. Michelle Jennings, Jenny Coleman, Wendy Nowicki, Beth Shephard and Monica Mack show their class of ' 90 spirit. to see a lot of family activity. Nevertheless frosh Lions keep close bonds by going camping, going to church, and visiting grandparents in a nursing home. A job is a main source of money for kids going out and socializing. Babysitting is the leading among the fresh- man class because the oppor- tunities at the age of 14 are limited. Even if you just stay home and listen to the radio on the weekend, as a freshman it doesn ' t take long to realize those two nights and three days provide a break from hectic five days of school that is greatly needed. — Kari Cohee Stetler- Urbanski Freshmen 193 Every freshman ' s fantasy is to finally graduate from high-school.

Fantasies range from Fairy Tale Weddings to future career plans. Robyn Sikorski admitted My fantasy has been to run off to Paris with a cute guy and get married.

We get about $14,000.00 in selling the books but the rest has to come from advertisers. This year we have 50 advertisers. We, the staff would like to deeply thank all of our advertisers for supporting us with their contribution. When you go out in the world to the various businesses remember who gave us money.

Last August 27 brought the Lions back to our corner. For most it seemed to roll around too soon. As the summer ended fall practice began. Early fall practices make for an outstanding beginning for the LaSalle Marching Band. The band performs at all home football games and competes in several competi- tions year round. This year the band and it ' s boosters raised the remaining funds to purchase new band uni- forms. Shorts were reluctantly put away and the bright sunlight through a win- dow as a wake-up call was replaced by an early ringing alarm clock. New schedules, faces, deadlines, and athletic seasons opened the year for everyone . . . Ready okay ...

The people of our corner saw many firsts in the lines of tra- dition with dances on the top of the list. Morp, the Mascarade Ball, and the Mid Winter Semi- Formal were all hits. Also a first early in the Fall the Girls ' Soccer Team took the field. Later Lion Fans cheered the Boy ' s Bas- ketball team onto a 10- 17 record after a disap- pointing ' 86 season of 1- 19. The Pool Sharks ended their season at 6- 7, the second best re- cord in LaSalle ' s existence. An ego boost came from the North Central team who noted Lion pride and courtesy . . . Spinning their part- ners round and round, Anita Warren and Joe Mack dance the chicken at LaSalle ' s Frist Morp. A tradition at LaSalle was joined by a first time club.

Howev- er the countdown which is a ritual for students and teachers alike cjid not cease. As the final bell rang a shared cry of joy went up. Once a student leaves LaSalle for good and starts building a new corner of life, high school days are put in the past.

Closing When It Finally Came To An End 219 ur corner of the world a letter from the editor For the 1986-1987 Lantern staffers this will always be a memorable year. We set out to make this yearbook the best LaSalle has ever seen and we have accomplished that. We had a few rough spots to smooth over but we overcame it all, together as a family. We wanted to capture every moment, every part of LaSalle, every corner in which we have a place where we feel like we belong. As Lions, we belong at LaSalle. Without our student body, La- Salle would not exist and vice versa. I want to thank my second family, the Lantern staffers and Mrs. Celeste Hilliard, the student body and the fac- ulty, for your cooperation and patience in filling out all those interview forms and giving us some excellent quotes. We dedicate this book to the LaSalle High School family. This is where we belong. This is our Corner of the World. Thank you Editor-in-chief Mindy Wray Editor-in-cbief Mindy Wray works on meeting a deadline.

D OLKi v3-KiL OTvXx Colophon Putting out the yearbook for LaSalle ' s corner of the world was fraught with hard work, disappointment and frustration. But, success belonged to the 1986-87 year- book staff which consisted of 19 members; Mrs. Celeste Hilliard, advisor; Root Pho- tographers of Chicago, II.; Jostens Print- ing and Publishing Company of Clarks- ville TN. and Mr. Jim Beckham, publishing representative. The theme Our Corner of the World, was first introduced on a Nighthawk blue cover made of Sundance grain, where two squares are imbossed with the world in the corner of the dominant square. The end- sheets a soft blue 317 with print in 540 navy ink feature a meso-tint picture of the school in the fall and summer. Throughout the book body copy is in 10 point Century School Book and captions are in 8 point 15i. Flares of different personalities enter the picture as several sections played with various graffics. The opening section is drawn together by a mondrian layout and precentages of process blue p-700 to high- light special corners. The People Sec- tion tied themselves together and with the theme by shading squares to designate the corners of their pages. Student Life used a large shaded box with tool lines. The Sports highlighted their copy and pictures with tool lines establishing their cor- ners, while the academic and organiza- tion sections dealt with other shapes of life. The Academic Section rounded the corners with tool lines and organiza- tions took a triangular approach of things in their corner. Finally the closing pages follow the same mondrian as the opening.
