Fire sparks Indians Due to the fire in the school gym on Jan. 18, the Indians were forced to find a new home for the remaining basket¬ ball games. Despite these problems, the Indians were able to put on a show for the homecoming crowd. A standing room only crowd packed into Kahler’s gym to watch the win over Andrean 70-62. The fire created many problems for homecoming, no pep assembly, one float, but some traditions remained the same like the election of the King and Queen. Freshman Shelly Kapelinski and Steve Mandich were chosen as Queen and King. They snatched the honors away from seniors, Monica Rydlewski and Dan Snyder, juniors Arlene Olenik and Eli Giravich, and sophomores Julie Britton and Keith Byron. Shelly Kapalinski becomes the second freshman to reign as Basketball Homecoming Queen. Steve Mandich was chosen as king. It’s hair! It ' s a wig! it’s a pom pon! No, it’s Brian Brown at the Basketball Homecoming celebrated at Kahler this year because of the fire. Third place Indiana Junior Miss Finalist. Sandy Munson, accepts a bouquet from Donna Roe on the behalf of SGA. 26 Homecoming

Snow stops formal on thirteenth The thirteenth of January held to tra¬ dition and superstition, proving un¬ lucky for the N-Teen sponsored Winter Formal. Over thirteen inches of snow fell, postponing the “Winter Fantasy.” Flowers wilted and frustrations began when the Formal was again cancelled. But there seemed to be the charm, and the Winter Formal was finally held in February sixteenth. The Greek Orthodox Hall in Merrill¬ ville was decorated with fresh carna¬ tions that could be had by girls who didn’t have bouquets. “Oscar and the Majesties” provided musical entertain¬ ment; stuffed bunnies could be bought for favors. Reigning couples were Freshmen Laura Figler and Mike Cummings; Sophomore Jackie Schwader; Juniors Vicki Tewell and Tim Rainwater; and Senior Queen Gina Krajewski and her date Richard Rech. Despite the problems, the 1979 “Win¬ ter Fantasy” turned out to be a beau¬ tiful event that was enjoyed by all: a night of memories. The Formal court: Mike Cummings and Laura Figler. Queen Gina Krajewski and Richard Rech. and Vicki Tewell and Tim Rainwater. Bob Nipe and his friend ' s dates. Carmen Kem and Suzan Goodman put bouquets in table vases to add decoration.
