In the five years there have been three coaches: Mrs. Jan Tuerff, Mrs. Karen Ellison, and Mrs. Diane Blakcmore. Mrs. Blakemore has been coaching the team for the last three years. The program started off with equipment minimum standards for high school competition. The last two years the girls gymnastic team has been fortunate enough to have all new equipment, which was allocated through tne new building funds. The program has improved quite a bit. due to equipment and the dedication from girls who try out for the team. Coach Blakemore emphasized the fact that gymnastics is not one of the well known sports at LaPorte. Mrs. Blakemore stated this is due to the lack of knowledge about the sport. The team is unique in that it works with three separate levels of competition, the beginning, intermediate. and optional teams. This year s team was hurt by many injuries. Most of the injuries were in the optional level. There were six optional gymnasts that were hurt. The beginning team has been deleted from high school competition as of September 1980. Most valuable for the 1979-80 year was Missy Sampson and most improved was given toTeri Mahlman. 4. 34 Girls Gymnastics 3. I Oir!� Gymnastics returning Icttcrman urc From row: L« Havcrstock.

Upon them rests a great responsibility to represent their school well. They not only provide an important decorative background for the athletic events in school, but they can also guide the student body toward better sportsmanship and spirit by so doing, affecting the mood of the whole athletic program. This year’s pom-pon girls performed at five basketball games. The Pom-Pon squad also worked at concession stands at two football and one basketball games. The squad also sponsored one after game dance. The money earned from these activities was put toward the price of the new pom-pons and uniforms. The pom-pon squad this year was led by captain Yvonne Miller and co- captain Mary Deuitch. They were sponsored by Mrs. Jane Goad.

He lived with the Richard Bauer family. He is from Novara Italy. He has one brother back in Italy. His favorite class was Pool Guard. He w-as on Student Council and belonged to the French Club and International Club. He can speak French. English, and of course Italian. He has also been taught Latin. He wants to become a computer programmer. He said he thought that school in America is easier than in Italy. The thing he dislikes most about Amer- ica is the racism against minorities. He said if he had the chance, he would do it again. But. Paolo stated that he wouldn’t want to live in the U.S. Her favorite class is English. Her favor- ite food here in America was tacos. She also liked the sunny weather of LaPorte. She would like to become an elementary school teacher. During her stay she was on the girls track team. She ran both the 220 and the 440. She felt there should be more things for kids to do. She also felt kids should have more responsibility. The things she missed most about Hol- land were the closeness of things, such as being able to bicycle to many places and even being close enough to walk. Alexander •’Xandy’’ Strauss was one of the three foreign exchange stu- dents. He is from Vienna Austria, but lived for three years in Italy, and one year in Switzerland. He stayed with the William Wampler family. His favorite classes were English and chemistry. Xandy was in the International Club. French Club, and Student Council. He was also a varsity wrestler. His favorite American foods were peanut butter sandwiches and ham- burgers. The thing that impressed him most about America was the passes in school. The thing he missed most was the mountains around Vienna. 126 Exchange Students Art Club Shows Talent Art Club is an organization to make members more aware of all facets of art and to bring home the fact that art is an everyday experience.

Adam Garrison was trying to find a good place to have a rock concert. When flying over the mountain, he knew that it was the place. He asked Candy if he could have the concert there and she didn't know if she wanted it. She finally said yes. On the day of the concert, it was storming and the bridge going to the mountain was washed away and the rock groups were stranded on the mainland. Adam saved the day by taking his helicopter across the river and getting them. It ended with Candy's agreeing to marry Adam. The songs “Childless Mother and Meet Me on the Empire State Building.

This was about a man. Captain Fishy, who thought he could succeed at nothing. Colonel Purdy called him into his office to give nim a job. He was to build a pentagon-shaped schoolhouse in a small village called Tobiki. He was given a Japanese interpreter named Sakini and was sent on his way. When Sakini and Captain Fishy reached Tobiki. they had a village meeting. All the villagers were gathered together. They gave gifts to Captain Fishy. He was given many things including a geisha girl named Lotus Blossom. Everyone, including Captain Fisby. thought that a geisha girl was a girl with a questionable reputation. But Captain Fisby found out that geishas were girls who did good deeds for their owners. The geisha wanted a teahouse so she could teach other girls to be geishas. Everyone thought that this was a bad idea. To build the teahouse, they used the wood that the American government supplied for the schoolhouse. Everything was going fine until Colonel Purdy came to sec how the school was coming along. He was angry that they used supplies for the schoolhouse. Then when he found out that it was good, he let it go and the Teahouse of the August Moon was built. At the end. Captain Fisby asked Lotus Blossom to marry him and she accepted. 1-4 Kurl Slrim make' Ross Miller into old Mr. Keora 5. Capiam Fisby (ells the people of Tobiki. through his interpreter.

Some of the remembrances were more pleasant than others but all sophomores had a mixed collection of both. The sophomore class chose their class officers early in the year. Those chosen were Jill Turak President. Teri Jasinowski Vice President, and Tami Bernacchi as Secretary-T reasurer. Although the sophomores were at the bottom of the ladder, most found that being a sophomore could be sort of fun. By the end of the year most of the sophomores realized that they were going to make it to the top after all.
