Text from Pages 1 - 264 of the 1986 volume:

All the worlds a stage. And all the men and women are merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. PERFORMANCES........208 CLOSING.............240 All the World’s a Stage As the curtain rose on the 1985-86 school year, students and faculty members alike stepped into character to play their various roles. Faculty members assumed the roles of educators, counselors, disciplinarians, advisors and friends. The inexperienced freshmen became the upperclassmen's scapegoat. Carefree sophomores flaunted their relatively young knowledge of the high school script. The juniors patiently awaited for their chance to play the leading roles while they followed upperclass stage directions. During the year the spotlight was on the class of 1986. In the eyes of underclassmen the seniors played their leading roles with perfection. They set the stage directions: they wrote the script; and they held their heods high when the curtain finally closed. 1 The homecoming bonfire roges with Sheer Spirit 2 Sensors. AmV Jones.

Friend — what exactly does this word mean? It has many different meanings. In fact, if one were to ask ten people to ex plain their own personal interpretation of the word, he would probably get ten dif- ferent. yet correct answers. Friends are very important to all of us to some dregree. Teenagers are probably most in- fluenced by their friends because of the changes that are taking place in their lives at this time. One's friends can be a source of companionship and at many times can give a shoulder on which to lean. A friend should be a companion. He should be someone with whom one can spend time doing things that are enjoyed by both. Sometimes one can take this com- panionship for granted and then when it is gone discover that it was Indeed impor- tant. Friends should be compatible enough that when they pass time together, it is spent wisely without quarreling or petty arguments. A friend must also be honest. He should be able to give honest advice and not to hold anything back. Once two people have developed an honest understanding with each other, the road to a good relationship will be much easier. A true friend must be willing to respect another person's opinions, ideas, and values. It is impossible for two people to have the same viewpoint on every topic. The task is only to accept the other's view. not to necessarily agree with ft. There is also a special kind of love that is shared between friends. A kind of caring that is also present no matter what the situation is. It is a love that binds the two hearts together and makes them one. A love such os the love between friends can- not be measured unless for some reason it disappears. Friends are indeed invaluable to all of us. And. sometimes even though friend- ships seem to fade away, the impact that they have left on our lives remains forever. Jill Prickett 1. Quince Scolf. Mike Kabasmski.

Plenty of bright Hau'aiian shirts, sun glasses, leis. and beach towels transformed the bleak October Tues day Inro a hot summer day. Student Council members followed tradition by naming Wednesday sweats day. Students wore their comfortable sweat suits so that they were rtady to compete in the after school games. Thursday was career day. doctors, pimps. flashers, soldiers, housewives, and Little Ceasars pizza makers worked their way through the hallways. Friday was orange and black, students and faculty members alike dressed from head to toe in Slicer colors. The excitement at LPHS didn't end at 3:00 p m when the school day ended. The powder puff football game teas held Tuesday after school Drizzle which eventual ly became rain didn't stop the girls from play ing through all three games. The senior girls won the exciting flog football game to make themselves champions Wednesday was the day for the anxiously awaited after-school games Water balloons soaked those who had difficulty catching them and slimy egg yokes slid between the fingers of those who were the unlucky catchers. Senior. John Wagner, was the winner of the twinkie eating contest and the seniors pulled in another win during the tug o-war A drizzly Thursday brought the traditional decorating contest. Friday night's excitement began at Lincoln School with the start of the car caravan Cars, trucks, tractors, and flatbeds were decorated in orange and black for the parade that drove through town and arrived at the bonfire. The bonfire roared with Slicer spirit as pep band members. cheerleaders, and fans warmed up and became ready to cheer for our Slicer grid ders. Sherri Jackson was announced as being the 1985 Homecoming Queen after the in troduction of all the candidates and their escorts at half time. The 1985 spirit stick was awarded to Senior Class President Robyn Scott during the half-time festivities. The Slicers beat Rogers for a homecoming win that u as celebrated at the after-game dance The end of homecoming didn't mark the end of fun, i( signified the beginning of a great year. 1 Senior Steve Smith shows ha Sheer ip if at the bonfire by wearing the latest in spin! ureek fashion, graffiti pants' 2 Sophomore Shan Moryl dresses in her hospital attire on career day 3.

As we live today much of our time is taken up with role ploying. At home we are sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, rule followers, chore doers, neighbors and fiends. In school we are students, spirit boosters, leaders, followers, athletes, scholars, problem makers, problem solvers and friends While out of school many of us arc employees, car owners, tax payers, music lovers, and once again friends. High School Is a time to be yourself. Play the roles you want to play, read the scripts that you want to read and possess the traits you want to possess. High School is the best time of your life take advantage of the fun. Sooner than we'll know it we'll be playing more complicated roles. College goers, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, family supporters, rule makers, decision makers, and homeowners. Although the roles we play change through the years, the people we are now will always live within us. Q Jlicers Shine Spotlight on Their Creativity.

The cur tarn rose on the class of '86 dunng the homecom- ing festivities. Student Council members and Senior Class Officers directed the seniors to the winning of the spirit stick The large cafeteria was decorated in orange and black, the powder puff football team stomped the underclassmen, the afterschool games were won by the Seniors, and the Sheer Gridders bt at the Rogers Raiders As the year wore on. the Seniors still occupied the spotlight. They become the leaders of our dubs, they led our teams to victories, they were crowned queens, and throughout the year they generated Sheer Spirit. Some of their last performances were wel corned The last test, the final research paper, the last school lunch, the last bus nde. and many other unwelcomed activities were enjoyed by all after they were over. On the other hand, many per for manccs were sure to be missed Spending time with friends, enjoying nights uptown, socialising in the cafeteria, and Friday night basketball and foot ball games As the year came to a ck� e. the Seniors en- joyed the Prom. Junior-Senior Banquet, and Graduation And even though future years will fly by and people will change, the memories of our years at LPHS will always bum brightly in our hearts and minds.

Some of us will go to college. Many will choose to seek employment Others will go to trade school. Even with the diversity of ambitions, one can be assured that we will all try our best to be good at whatever we do We can make a difference. We are the mechanics, doc- tors. beauticians, engineers, and computer programmers of the future. Wherever our amibltons lead us. we will still be a part of the class of 1986.

Juniors learned to work as a team and mastered the art of organization. Under the guidance of the Junior Class Officers — President Chris Anderson. Vice President Lisa Casper. Secretary Melinda McCombs, and Treasurer Steve Caviggiola. the junior class worked hard to throw a superb prom Class meetings were held through the winter to plan for the year end extravagan- za. Their money making projects were after game dances. Through hard work, the Juniors were on their way to becoming responsible, prepared, and definitely cool Seniors. 1 Junior Class Officers ILR) Steve Caviggiola, Treasurer. Lisa Casper, Vk President.

But at fourscore It is too late a week Sophomores Strive For Spotlight. The class of 1988 entered LaPorte High School last year as the first freshman class in LPHS for many years. The underclassmen coped with the changes and the undesirable fact that they were the little ones. Of course the school noticed them and realized that they were around. The fact that the hallways were much more crowded was realization enough This year the class of '88 made themselves noticed by stepping on stage during the homecoming activities. Sophomore class president Janalee Bowell organized her class early in the year and was ready to upstage all classes, including the seniors. Her efforts proved successful in a few areas. The sophomores decorated the small cafeteria in a clever way and showed their enthusiasm through attendance. The class of '88 also put on a great show at the afterschool games where they wiped out the juniors in many of the competitions. The sophomores participated in many sports and activities Sophomore Eric Dolezal stepped on stage at the basketball jamboree to defeat fellow basketball players in the high school slam dunk contest. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders, who were all sophomores, cheered for the. sometimes small. JV crowds. Sophomores ran track, played football, slammed volleyballs. endured swimming and wrestling practices for little recognition. All underclassmen who participated in any activity should realize that their chance at the spotlight is coming quickly. 1 Sophomore Class Off teen build a pyramid on one of the few dry days that LaPorte County hod this foS On bottom John Bowen.

However, as the year progressed they became more confident. The freshmen enjoyed all of this year's activities from sports to studies. They also whole heartedly threw themselves into extra curricular clubs such as Girls Reserves. Such enthusiasm made these freshmen's first year in High School a true success.

With the need for great quantities of informa lion, the library owns high-tech equip- ment such as micro film machines and a video cassette library The library also provides personal service. Trained librarians are always glad to assist anyone with a problem This year the library increased its student-teacher cooperation with a new Dial-a-Teacher hot line. Students can call with questions on homework from 6 to 8 pm Calls are then rerouted to helpful teachers. Our library has a tradition of being more than a research facility. At 7:30 the library starts to fill with students working on homework, socializing with friends, and catching up on lost sleep from the night before. The library is also home of the famous Coach's Cor- ner where our athletic coaches meet every morning to discuss world and local events He reads much; He is a great observer. Julius Caesar Act.

Formal activities benefit students social lives and provide wonderful memories. GR Girls are “steppin' out.’ On the night of February 1. 1986. the Girls Reserves Formal was held at LaPorte High School. Approximately 150 couples attended this winter ball. Mrs. Droege commented on how successful the G.R. Formal was. Cabinet members announced the queens and presented them with roses and crowns while runner-ups received carnations. In order to be able to attend the dance, the Seniors needed four points, the Juniors needed five points, the Sophomores, six points, and the Freshmen needed seven points. G.R. members received these points by par ticipating in various activities within the school year. Car washes, a bake sale, and other activities were held to not only give members chances to receive points, but to help the LaPorte Community. A new edition to the G.R. formal was the garter ceremony. The girls' garters were removed and placed on their dates' arms. With careful planning and patience, the G.R.

PROM 185 A3 A 7 A 8 Most people who are not accustomed to La Porte High's tradition of allowing people to watch the prom find it quiet unusual. This idea is usually very beneficial to the junior class because it raises revenues for the class. The expenses of prom are very high. The money that is raised can be put toward the rent of the Civic. This is also a nice tradition because it allows parents and friends to watch the prom goers. People get a chance to see all the effort that is pul into decorating, spectators can listen to the band, and younger students get u an insight as to what the prom is like. A 6 A problem that has accompanied the prom over the past two years is whether or not to allow freshmen to attend the prom. This is a two sided argument that has been debated over many times in the offices, classrooms, and hallways of La Porte High School. Some students believe they should be allowed to attend because they are now a part of the high school. Others believe that the prom is a privilege and freshmen should have to wait until they are older. The 1986 Student Council attempted to reach a solution to this problem but they were unsuccessful. The problem has been passed on and now lies in the hands of the 1987 Council. A3 1. Jill Spiess and her date talks together while tak- ing a break from dancing. 2. Jenny Pflum and Tim Wander enjoy each others company at the prom. 3. Pat Welinski, Jenny Tibbot, Jill Prickett and Stan Meadows take time out from dancing. 4. Prom goers line up to watch the introduction of the prom queen candidates. 5. Art Kalb and Melissa Langford watch couples dance as they sit along the sidelines. 6. Seniors Brad DeHart and Susan McCain talk with other couples in the basement of the Civic. 186 Prom Decorating Calls For Hours of Hard Work Most Students don't realize how much lime and energy goes into decorating for the prom. The work usually starts early in the year. Junior Class Officers hold meetings ana start to organize the plans. A theme must he decided upon, order forms must be filled out. committees must he made and students must take charge to assure a successful prom. This year the average of twenty students took part in the decorating. The class officers agreed that this number is unbelieveably low considering the number of juniors that attend the prom. The Juniors held workshops before the week of prom and then spent the entire week of prom decorating at the Civic. These dedicated juniors probably all believe that the finished product was worth all the hard work. 1. Prom decorators take time out from their busy decorating schedule. 2. Deborah Kesling trims the walls in the front hallway 3. Carl Itogsetl helps out by decorating the basement. 4. Mary Schmitz keeps herself busy hanging stars. 5. Karen l ewis wonders where to hang the larger stars. 6. Amy Broviak puts the finishing touches on the dancefloor.

A COMMENCEMENT 193 All of the students that perform on stage at LaPorte High School are the true actors and actresses of our school. They p ay many parts in the plays and musicals that are put on every year. They all are learning to be transformed into the characters that they portray. TaPorte High Has Many True Performers.

Jazz Band............. 196-197 198-199 200-201 .. .202 ... 203 204-205 206-207 19S VARIETY SHOW’S EMOTIONS RUN HIGH LaPorte High School's brightest stars took the stage on November 17th. 18th. and 19th for the 1985 Variety Show. This year's various acts ranged everywhere from the traditional singing and dancing to a drum solo and yes — even comedy. Tim Moore's earshattering drum solo kicked off the show and set the pace for an action-packed evening. The singers included Jill Peters and Chris Combs, who both sang solos but later teamed for a duet, and Jull Montgomery with her stirring rendition of Memories from the musical Cats. The bands Mercury and Magestrial also provided entertainment for all. The dance acts followed suit and varied greatly They contained everything from a ballet routine by Kirsten Bauchrowitz to a glittering modem dance by Tymn Sap penfield. To all of this Tony Casto and Pat Russell added just the right note of hilarity with their version of the Mackenzie Brothers. Not to be outdone by the cast, emcees Chris Kuta and Tony Casto gave the show a per- sonal touch. Thanks must go to Mr. Rhodes. Mrs. Long, the TAT crew and of course, the entire cast for making this year's show, as put by performers and audience alike, a lot of fun. The actors are at hand and by their show, you shall know all that you are like to know.

Snoopy brought laughter to everyone in the audience. Janine DeHart was absolutely perfect as a simpering Sally Brown. Also excelling as a loud mouthed Lucy VanPelt was Allison Rhodes. A satisfactorily wishy-washy Charlie Brown. Tony Casto lent his rich baritone voice to the musical in such songs as Where Did That Little Dog Go.” This musical's Linus VanPelt. Andy Kennedy, con- vincingly clung to his blanket even during his solo about the imaginary Great Pumpkin. The Vigil. Tara Felton, the silent but scene-stealing Woodstock, nwde her presence felt with each haphazard flight. Another believable performance was given by Tracey Bart mess who did Peppermint Patty's nose complaints justice. Kurt Phillips aided the comedy element of Snoopy with his character. Schroeder's refusal to acknowledge Lucy in preference for,a piano. Last but surely not least, is Pat Russell as Snoopy. The star of this musical sang and soft-shoed his way into the hearts of all present with numbers like The Big Bow Wow. With actors like this. Snoopy couldn't help but be a success. Special thanks must go to the Orchestra of Kathy Mur- phy. Jill Peters. Matt Kennedy. Jeff Vandermel. Rusty Caum and Bob Burger. In addition. Tammy Meyer, stu- dent director. Robert Jones, the musical and orchestra director, and director Jim Lampl's great contributions In organizing this year's musical must be recognized and ap- preciated. Thank you all once again for a memorable show. FALL MUSICAL 199 PLA Y MOCKS MELODRAMAS Poking fun at turn of the century melodramas, this year's winter play was aptly titled Dirty Work at the Crossroads. The cast's light hearted performance of this com- edy brought laughter to the audience on each night that it was shown — March 13th. 14th. and 15th. The lead characters — damsel in distress Nellie Lovelace, dashing hero Adam Oak hart, and treacherous villain Munro Murgatroyd — were believably portrayed by Tammy Meyer. Kurt Phillips, and Pat Russell, respectively. In addition. Kellie Petrosky made a convincing Widow Lovelace, our heroine's mother, and Tracy Bart mess played the villainess Ida Rhinegold well. Other characters included Jim McCormick as Mookie Maguggins. Allison Rhodes as Mrs. Upson Asterbilt. Stacey Schoof as Leonte Up- son Asterbilt. Chris Kuta as the French maid Fleurette and. Little Nell — Tara Felton. This excellent cast, along with the TAT crew, created a fantasy world into which their au- dience could and did escape Dirty Work at the Crossroads helped everyone to ex- perience the ideals of a bygone era. Once again, thanks must be given to the cast, the TAT crew, and Mr. Rhodes for a splendid performance of a classic and hilarious comedy. 200 PERFORMANCES 'Tis ten to one this ploy con never please All that are here some come to take their ease And sleep an act or two others, to hear the city Abused extremely, and to cry That's witty!

The play truly entertained the small but enthusiastic audiences on both nights. The first play. The Sandbox. by Edward Albee was directed by Traci Lewis and contained the acting talents of Jack Bennett. Stephanie Sanchez. Brook Schnable. Anna Galloway and Michelle Hensell. The other two shows, both directed by Miss Fridh, were The Crosspatch by Larry Randolph and The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco. The Crosspatch co-starring Jim Mc- Cormick. Lesley Carr, and Sue Nelson, chronicl- ed the turbulent and aery funny relationship bet- ween a cowboy and a refined widow. The Bald Soprano which starred Krista Combs. Stan Meadows. Mandy Hanahan. Don Galloway. Stephanie Sanchez, and Mike Toutloff, was a hilarious but EXTREMELY CONFUSING story about a day in the Hues of a London couple and their friends. Each contributor to this year's one-act plays must be thanked and congratulated for the suc- cess achieved through hard work. This huge stage presentem nought but shows Whereon the stars in secret in- fluence comment. Shakespeare 1. Jim McCormick sarcastically tips his hat to an ongry Lesley Carr In The Crosspatch 2.

Held on the 18th and 19th of March. American Heartbeat thrilled large audiences on each night. Some of the acts highlighted included meaningful songs, a Pee Wee Herman imitation, a puppet show, and a drum solo. Pat Russell delighted the crowd with his portrayal of Pee Wee. especially when he danced to everyone's favorite. Tequila. '' Immediately afterward came another crowd pleaser. Chris and Paul Hickey's Meat Puppets for Jesus. This band, made up totally of puppets, performed two hard rock numbers after beginning with the theme from Mr Roger's Neighborhood. Another impressive performance was given by Tim Moore who once again had an energetic drum solo. In addition. Missy Martin. Dale Wright. Chris Combs. Kelly Skaggs. Michelle Young, and special guest Russell Evans proved their singing talents while Michelle Burger also showed off her piano playing skills. Plus, there were two bands. The New Originals and Delinquent. present. To top it all off. ten senior girls performed The Super- bowl Shuffle. ” Special thanks to the cast and crew for another suc- cessful show. They have managed once again to put together an In- teresting show with a wide variety of acts and performers. Con- gratulations to them all! As in a theatre, the eyes of men. After a well-graced actor leaves the stage. Are idly bent on him that enters next. Thinking his prattle to be tedious.

Chris Combs and Kelly Skoggt together perform the song that they cowrote. 4 Missy Martin serenades the audience in her emotionally charged number A3 PERFORMANCES 203 SWING CHOIR CAPTURES IMAGINATION 204 This year's Swing Choir dazzled the audience with an excellent display of their talents. Their annual show, this year entitled Hey. Look at Us Now. , was held on April 8th and 9th. Once again the Swing Choir en- thralled everyone with popular songs such as Say You. Say Me by Lionel Richie. Also included were versions of songs from the olden days. Two of these old favorites were Le Jazz Hot and Ballin' the Jack. the latter demonstrating a popular dance from yesteryear. The Swing Choir varied their appearances by donning Hawaiian shirts for one song and sunglasses for another. However, the highlight of the show was. of course, the performance of the Swing Choir alumni who proved their singing ability once again. Special thanks to the Swing Choir: Denise Will. Mike Martin. Joyce Keeton. Steve Mast. Mike Carbon. Tony Casto. Allison Rhodes. Pat Russell. Richard Rhodes. Jill Peters. Karen Hand. Karen Lewis. Tim Wat- terson, Eric Schmitz. Deena Curtis, and Kathy Murphy. Band members Matt Kennedy. Bob Burger. Angela Brown. Jeff Vandermel. Michele Burger, and Chris Combs should also be thanked, as should director Ed- die Burk. This show will certainly loom largely in the hearts of all Swing Choir members — past and present — as will they in the minds of the audience. A 10 1.

May 9 at 8 pm. The songs per formed this year varied greatly. They ranged from traditional jazz numbers such as ,Down Basie Street and Bandstand Boogie to modem songs like Crazy for You and Smooth Operator Not only was the music changed, but so were the per- formers' outfits. Every band member, including Mr. Jones, managed to change into a Hawaiian shirt bought In Florida. Ron Jon’s Surf Shop never had so much publicity. Public relations for Florida was. however, not the only task accomplished by the Jazz Band. During their show, the band thoroughly entertained the audience and proved, once and for all. that jazz is still alive even at LPHS. Congratulations to all of the Jazz Sensations: Lisa Casper. Pat Predd. Brian Schuster. Kahin Morrison. Tony Casto. Bob Kessler. Brad DeHart. Fred Bishop. Marty Harris. Eric Switalski. John Schroeder, Chris Bratcher. Jon Murray. Jill Peters. Matt Kennedy.

The finished product came from a lot of hard work and a lot of time. Each picture had to be taken, each sentence written and each layout drawn. Beyond these major tasks were the small, but sometimes more difficult tasks. Faces were identified, pages were checked, copy was checked, and job stamps were stamped on the back of every picture. Each member of the staff spent lots of time fiddling with the no-lettered, beaten up. typewriters, searching for grease pencils, techni-croppers. and other necessary materials. The finished product is always worth the time and effort that is put into it. The 1986 staff hopes that you enjoy the memories which this book holds.

I want to thank the faculty members who worked around our picture tak- ing and yearbook sales. A thanks goes to the LPHS coaches and teachers who submitted scores and other information to the staff.
