La Porte High School - El Pe Yearbook (La Porte, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 240 of the 1976 volume:

Our task In this volume of the 1976 El Pe is to illustrate the likenesses and differences of the past and of the present: not merely 1776 and 1976 but all of the past and the present. We are not only using the community of LaPorte and LaPorte High School in this comparison but rather, we are striving to Involve each individual. Our main goal is to involve each student in this comparison in hopes that he can relate to one aspect of the past and the present. We also hope to illustrate that although the past is gone, it is not dead for it lives in our minds in the form of a memory, and a memory should be used to strengthen our present ambitions. Yet, we must not dwell in the past for it is gone and can never be regained. As our high school days evolve we must use our knowledge of the past in our present learning experiences. Although this book deals with the past and the present it is dedicated to the future In hopes that it is brighter 3nd more prosperous than ever before. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS OPENING ...........4 RECOGNITION ......18 ORGANIZATIONS.....40 PEOPLE............62 ACADEMICS........122 SPORTS...........158 ADVERTISERS......208 CLOSING..........231 3 4 Nothing changes more constantly than the past: for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened. but of what men believed happened.

Reflections of Sadness and Joy — a Senior's Last Year There comes a lime when every youth must step from his childhood into the challenging world of adulthood and so 1976 was the seniors stepping stone. This year represented both joy and sadness. Joy in the fact that those twelve long years of hard work had finally paid off and at last it’s time for graduation. After years of being looked down upon, seniors finally had the priorities of front row seating at all games and the ultimate privilege of being able to shout '‘Seniors in the school song. Sadness is that last basketball game where all around the crowd roars to the haunting tune the final buzzer trills. Then the band plays the school song that echoes throughout the seniors mind like a hazy melody that will never come again. There is sadness because they must pan from their beloved high school friends and leave the warm security of high school life to go forth and enter the strange unfamiliar outside world. The class of '76 was the envy of every senior class since 1949 for their spectacular victory at the sectionals. They also marked the beginning of a new addition to the building. Although the construction won't be finished until 1978 they shared in the enthusiasm of their school's expansion. And so. as the seniors go forth, they will take with them fond memories and will reminisce about their high school life for years to come. Serving as senior class officers were: Gerry Roth. President: Pat Nedza. Vice-President: Teri Wampler. Secretary: and Julie Jeffrey. Treasurer. 64 KEITH ADKINS SHARON ADKINS EDWARD AIKMAN RONNIE AKINS SHERMAN AKINS MARK ALBIN GUY ALLEN CONNIE ANGELOS DAVID ARNDT CHERI ASHCRAFT DAVID AVERY MICHAEL BACKUS BONNIE BAILEY BRIAN BAKER PEGGY BAKER DAWN BANKS SUSAN BANNWART DOLPH BARAN JEFFREY BARNARD DAVID BARNHART MATTHEW BAUGHMAN ROBERT BAUGHMAN BRIAN BEALOR CAROL BEATTIE DWIGHT BEATY JOHN BEEHLOR RODD BELL SCOTT BELL MELE BENEFIEL JEFFREY BERNACCHI 65 JULIE BERNACCHI ROBERT BERNACCHI SUSAN BERNACCHI PATRICK BESSEGATO DAWN BLAKE CYNTHIA BLANK JAMES BOATWRIGHT BETTE BODMER TERESA BOKLUND RUTH BONDESON BRUCE BORAWSKI VERA BORKOWSKI CYNTHIA BOYAN CHRIS BRADLEY EVE BRANTLEY ROBERT BRENDA WAYNE BREWER FRANK BROWDER PATRICIA BROWN THOMAS BROWN 66 STARTING OPPOSITE PAGE: Senior Julie Hoke.

It's like you're in a different world, and it's never boring. Helping them to make decisions and leading them in their plans were their officers. Maria Gabella. president: Pam Deardurff, vice-president: and Sandy Rittenberry, secretary-treasurer. Throughout the year, the Sophomores sponsored three main projects. On November 7th, they held a dance featuring Rainbow Sundae. as well as one at a later date. In the spring of the year, they had a car wash. Sophomores have many landmarks to set and many decisions to make in their future at LPHS.

Under the direction of Wayne Tamow, Project Director, and Allen Brinklow. Department Head, all Social Studies teachers had the opportunity to help in the formation of any particular class they had an interest in. The courses, designed to stimulate student enthusiasm. were chosen from varied topics suggested by each teacher. Then in the spring of 1975, a questionaire was given to history students and then by student choice. courses were then formed. Divisions of each traditional course World History. U.S. History. Government, Economics, and Psychology were made. Each teacher had the option of writing one of the courses in which he was interested. After finishing these courses, they were then turned over to Project Director. Wayne Tamow and Doctor Blair, Co-ordinator, who tried to make sure each course followed the same format. This year students showed a renewed interest in the program, and with the aid of new courses the student interest continued to grow.

The making of a yearbook is not an easy thing to undertake. There are so many people involved with so many things while creating a yearbook, it is impossible to even attempt to thank them all. We would, however, like to thank the people that we consider special. The staff joins us in thanking our yearbook representative from Taylor Publishing Company. Mr. Jim Bell. Also, Mr. Jim Mara and Dean Studios deserve our warmest appreciation for the use of miscellaneous supplies and services. We would also like to express our gratitude to Mike Perlich and Jeff Lehner for the use of Miscellaneous pictures; to Vogue Studios for the cover transparency: to the Herald- Argus for the team picture of the basketball team and to Del Cook for the team picture of the football team. The staffers of SAMPLER 76 cannot be overlooked, for it was they who worked effortlessly to produce this bicentennial issue. Both of us. along with the entire SAMPLER staff, are most grateful to our adviser, John Shei. for the countless hours of work he has contributed to this yearbook. SAMPLER '76 would have not been possible without his efforts. The monumental task of creating this year's 1976 edition of the El Pe fell upon the shoulders of a talented yearbook staff comprised of both newcomers and veterans. After considering numerous applications from both the high school and the freshmen from the junior highs, new staffers were carefully selected in the spring of 1975. Upon the arrival of the 1975-76 school year in September, all El Pe staffers were busily contacting merchants in hopes of raising revenue to finance the publication. Soon afterward, a theme was chosen to fuse the pages of SAMPLER '76 into a bicentennial tribute. Co-editors Tammy Jones and Pat Marshall, together with El Pe adviser John Shei, supervised the operation of copy writing and layout drawing along with designating those always- dreaded deadlines. With the final shipment of pages completed in June, SAMPLER staffers anxiously awaited the result of their fourteen months of diligent efforts. Many looked forward to returning next year as members of the 1976-77 El Pe staff. Two outstanding underclassmen. Debbie McCain and Veronica Kliss, were selected to head the 1977 staff as co-editors. 232 CO-EDI TORS PAT MARSHALL AND TAMMY JONES irart r.hJZZ .?
