In the following pages, the reader can see for himself how each aspect of the school commu- nity has met this underlying chal- lenge this year.

But, as the day wore on, the wind began to rise, barely perceptibly at first, then steadily, steathily, til minature dust devils danced across the garden in the sudden swoops of breeze. The air grew cooler. By evening small droplets appeared, forming a pattern on the sidewalk. You shivered and went inside. The dro- plets soon became larger and tapped a metallic tattoo on the old porch roof where they fell. Looking out, watching the earth cleanse itself, you feel a certain wistfulness welling within you. So you draw the curtain aside and pull your chair closer to the window. You sit listening, letting the tap, tapping on the pane wash over you. You feel content there, almost comforted by its gentle tone. As you quietly sit, you become pensive, and your thoughts float back over the summer just passing. REMEMBERING, RELIVING, REFLECTING Opening 3 Summer. A carefree time for some, filled with sunshine and friends and good times. For still others it means a job part of the time, sav- ing the fun for the off duty hours. Working for hire was a new ex- perience, but it was nice to have that regular paycheck coming in. Nice to have the money for the things you really wanted — like wheels. For many this meant a 4- wheel drive truck. Funny how tastes change. As soon as one of the crowd gets a 4x4, it sets off a chain reaction and everyone else wants to abandon their old ma- chine, too, in favor of a truck. And the parade to the dealers be- gins. Of course there ' s still plenty of cars around, and motorcycles, too, for there ' s so many places to go and things to do in the sum- mer. Trips to the lake or a friend ' s pool, or a game of tennis or golf require instant transporta- tion. Then there ' s baseball games, parties and picnics, and the ultimate — cruising Shoaff Park with a carload of friends. For those who don ' t yet drive, there ' s the ever popular bicycle, or horses for a special few. And for the most economically mind- ed, there ' s the newest mode of transportation, the skateboard. It can take you anywhere you want to go that ' s not uphill. Always moving, places to go, things to do, friends . . . Summer. School Is Out 4 Opening It was a good time. An easy- going fun time to get away from the pressures of school. And the days flew by so quickly when there were so many fun things to do. But as the summer wore on, and friends left for family vacations, you sometimes found yourself at a loss for com- pany. Then the hours passed more slowly and the summer stretched out long before you. It was like a newly awakened cat uncurling itself, getting the kinks out of its back. Long lazy afternoons of soaking up the sun didn ' t seem as wonderful as they did at first. Long hours faded into longer uneventful days. You wondered what you could ever find to do, and who could you find still around to share it with. You even got to thinking of cleaning out your room, or maybe the garage. Gads, was it ever boring!!! After awhile your thoughts even drifted back to school. Funny how enticing that ol ' pile of bricks got to be when you hadn ' t been there for two months. You sort of, kind of a little bit, well maybe, even, wished you were back in school. Then at least, there were friends to hang around with. And there was certainly always something to do! AS THE SUMMER SLOWLY UNCURLS - . . McKX ' - . ,ir ■W V • ' i w fitfy.- . ' I? Opening 5 m Eventually, all good things must come to an end. But that doesn ' t mean that there won ' t be new good things beginning. Summer slips quietly into fall. Before you quite realize it, it ' s time to be back at school. The days of sleeping til 10:00 are over, caught up on the old familiar routines. It ' s not spring time, but the start of a new school season stirs an awakening within you. Back-to-school means a return to the books, but it also heralds the start of the football season. You, along with everyone else, get caught up in the excitement of a rousing game. Frost bites early and deeply this year, wilting the leaves and burnishing the pumpkins. The newly nippy air brings throngs out to watch the action. Every- one moves at a brisk pace anxious for a good seat. The bleachers are well packed long before the teams return to the field. As the game gets under way, the bleacher people become engrossed in the action on the field. Play after play brings the fans to their feet as the cheerleaders repeat the familiar chants: Beat ' em, beat ' em, beat ' em. Go, Fight, Win!! FALL FOOTBALL FRENZY 6 Opening 0 . t .- ' -a .

A lot of talent, a lot of spirit, guts and good coaching have made it an awesome contender. There ' s something about them this year, something intangible yet real. Maybe it ' s their attitude. It ' s special. A confidence and pride, that this is the year that they are going to ' Go For It! ' This year will be like no other. That competitive, ' reach for the stars ' feeling seems pervasive. Everybody ' s got it: teams, coaches, students, staff. This will be known as the Year of the Lion. This Homecoming night is special, too. Fans of other teams, other seasons return to cheer on this year ' s squad. What a joyous racket, too. Old friends exchanging greetings and tales of where they ' ve been . . . It ' s good to be back. ?: 4X , ■ A. Opening 7 8 Tlic Gr(jup the group No Matter How You Look At It, Sometimes You Just Have To Roll Up Your Sleeves And Dig In. Dark and solemn, the only sound in the halls was the click-click of his heels echoing in the empti- ness. It was a quiet time to pre- pare for the day ' s full schedule and finish grading yesterday ' s tests. Stepping inside he flipped on the lights, giving the familiar room a sense of life. He surveyed the floor finding no paper or tooth- less combs cluttering the cold concrete, the chalkboard was spotless, and the desks free of pencil marks. The Group 9 DEDICATION Loren S. Jones as he was: Playing foot- ball without a helmet . . . Roughing it on a fishing trip . . . Roughing it in the army . . . Dressed for his wedding . . . Trying to look busy at his desk . . . At home with his wife Ginny, Loren poses with his two newly adopted chil- dren. Nineteen years, a long time? It ' s more than a lifetime to most of us at Leo High School, and it ' s a good sized chunk of one man ' s life — the man who has been the only principal here since before most of us were born. Loren S. Jones. Jones brought with him a back- ground rich in a variety of exper- iences. He had served for 6 years in the military dur ing WW II, rising to the rank of captain. He had taught industrial arts and math, coached, and then served at Monmouth H.S. as principal for 6 years. He had a B.S. from Ball State, an M.S. from Purdue, and 5 years at I.U. ' s grad school. Always a worker, he accepted the challenge of building a first class center for education. It ' s hard to imagine what the school must have been like (in- deed ancient history) in 1959 when Mr. Jones first took the helm. It truly was a country school, half the size it is now, and not yet accredited by the state. The community was growing, the number of students mushroom- ing, and the building expanding. As the school and classes became larger and demands on teachers increased, dehumanization seemed inevitable. 10 Dedication A VERY SPECIAL MAN MOVES ON In the February 72 NASSP Bulletin on Humanizing the Schools Jones wrote, We would all like to have attended schools where we felt important, where we were respected as indi- viduals, and where we could see a relationship between our lessons and our (life ' s) goals ... Is there a better way? Desiring something better for Leo, Jones attended several workshops concerned with inno- vative education. He found the concepts stimulating. Thus began the difficult years of the Model School Project. Burning even more midnight oil became a way of life for the en- tire staff. Although they became very enthusiastic with its exciting possibilities, they all understood the difficulties in departing from the traditional model. Changes bring problems, and many of the MSP concepts be- came infeasible at Leo. Leading his staff, Jones adapted many of the ideals of the system to be used in a more traditional classroom setting. Ahead of his time, or out of step with the situation — time alone will determine. But, Mr. Jones has never felt compelled tq wait for something to become in to try it. His interest in Leo students doesn ' t end with their academic needs, either. No face is seen more often at Leo ' s activities than Mr. Jones ' . Whether it ' s a snowy football game or a play in a hot gymnasium, Leo ' s most ac- tive fan is there. In fact, one of his sons had once commented that they felt they had donated a father to the school. Yet, he is a home body and his home, family and church are very important to him. In his free time he can often be seen playing or working in the yard with the neighborhood children. He has been a 5 a.m. jogger since long before it became fashionable, and his wife Ginny says he ' s a great cook, especially outdoors. Though his accomplishments have been many, he says he ' d like best to be remembered as a good father. He just loves kids. This is obvious, not only from his involvement with them at school, but also at home. Having already helped raise his 6 children then 2 more of his second wife ' s, he and his wife were feeling their house too big. So the Jones ' have just recently brought 2 lovely Philli- pino children into their home to adopt as their 3rd family. Gener- osa, 10, and Ferdinand, 8, are happily settling in, and have ' started school at Leo Elemen- tary. A devoted husband and father, an inspiring educational leader, and a very good man — what more can one ask? Dedication 11 . ' M« M«!!J v lf ff Kp)r ' Mr. Butt, Couns. Mrs. Gross, Couns.

His students had shown an unusual interest in the week ' s topic and had surprised him with their enthusiasm during class discussions. The bell brought his T.A. in, one by one. He politely requested ev- eryone ' s presence on time just one morning of the year, only half expecting all feet to be inside the room before the bell stopped ringing. But at least they had lis- tened. Dr. Stuelpe, Ass ' t. Prinipal By lunch time his notes were tat- tered and he was ready for a break. He fought his way through the crowded halls to get some- thing to eat. Lunch in hand, he retreated to the calmness of the teacher ' s lounge for a short peri- od of relaxation and conversation with the other teachers. Over a ham and cheese sandwich he re- flected on the morning ' s activi- ties, finding nothing to complain about. The assignment given had received only a few moans and the lectures concluded as planned. 12 The Group Afternoon classes had left a little more to be desired as the gum wrappers collected on the floor and nerves wore thin. The stu- dents were anxious to get home to their favorite television shows and endless hours of talking on the telephone to the person they had been with all day. Announce- ments over, the students he had watched stifle yawns during class were suddenly wide awake and stampeding to the awaiting buses.

None of these things both- ered him, for he had accomplished his duties. Students had learned In somber concentration, Mr. Hartung, quizzes himself on the answer to a problem presented to him by a student from him and he had learned from them. Leaning back in his chair, watching the lone jogger down the hall, he felt important and needed. And he was. 14 The Group Mrs. Amstutz Mrs. Branson Mrs. Crick Mrs. Doyle Mrs. Hunt Mrs. Julius Mrs. Osborn Mrs. Short SATISFACTION GUARANTEED For centuries, man has devel- oped things to make life a little easier, like the automobile, the lightbulb and the telephone, for example. Leo also has developed some- thing that makes things easier. It ' s called a paraprofessional. They never run out of gas, they don ' t need electricity and we certainly can communicate with them. One of the para-professionals, Mrs. Sylvester, assists Mrs. Grose by keep- ing books on the shelves and peace with the kids. This group of ladies is always willing to lend a hand by help- ing students and teachers to keep the school organized and functioning well. They manage the offices, run the A.V. dept., supervise attendance, head re- source centers, and file papers all in the course of a day ' s time. So, Thomas A. your heart out!

Caring for the building and grounds that house over 800 people is a job that requires broad shoulders as well as capable hands. Fortunately, these attributes are found in the very able Chief Custodian, Vitus Koch. He heads a day crew of three, as well as supervising the night crew ' s work. Sweeping and mopping, repairing leaks and breaks, changing light bulbs and patching rooftops, these multi-talented custodians find their days busy. However, they still manage to come to the aid of students and staff alike when problems arise such as a locker that won ' t open, or a faucet that won ' t work. HELPING HANDS HOUSED HERE Throughout the year many of these emergencies manage to appear. Every incoming seventh grade class brings its share of locker troubles. Some- times an experienced hand can manage what frightened fingers fumble. Other times, it ' s the ol ' hacksaw routine for those who have pur- chased their own padlock, but then lost the key. Yard chores fill many hours, too, sometimes more pleasantly than others. Mowing grass in the early Spring is decidedly preferred to removing blizzard drifts from the rooftops in 0° weather. Though they get their share of unpleasant jobs, this team does them efficiently and well. Re- member them the next time you ' re tempted to drop that candy wrapper on the cafeteria floor. Part of Vitus ' many duties include the maintenance of the grounds the year round. The Group 17 msmmmmm ' 18 Gyration gyration SENIOR SCRUDS AND FRIENDS DOING THEIR OWN THING Back in the ' 50 ' s ' the teens seemed to have created their own era. Cruisin ' , high school dances, concerts, blue jeans, and drag races. Here we are in the ' 70 ' s ' struggling to create a fantastic impression on the next generation with our cruisin ' , high school dances, concerts, blue jeans, drag races ... It doesn ' t seem to have changed that much. But some of the obvious changes are: the twist to the hustle, a Desoto to a Ford 4 wheel drive, Elvis Presley to Pe- ter Frampton, skin-tight pony tails to soft and frizzy curls. Of course as time changes so do our ways as we discover more each day, but no matter how much we advance the people generally stay the same. The teens that want to do their own thing and be a friend to mankind are tomorrow ' s lead- ers. But while the weight of the world still rests on our parents ' shoulders, go out and throw a frisbee, hop on your ten-speed, cruise in a new Camaro, have a pool party, listen to your new al- bum, put on your Dr. Scholl ' s and loaf awhile. Take the time to do your thing while the opportuni- ties are there. Gyration 19 that fateful first day you entered the build- ing ... You glanced at all the empty lockers which would soon be bursting with books, papers and an odd as- sortment of pictures, posters, and paraphenalia. Walking down the hall, you laughed and joked with your friends, all the while wondering what this year would be like. You had decided that this was the year that you were going to ' Go for it! ' . This year you would finish all your reports before they were due, study for every test, return your library books on time, buy your lunch ticket before Monday noon, have your name on every piece of gym equipment, and all those other good intentions. 20 Gyration Studying wasn ' t the only thing that helped you learn. It was see- ing old friends, making new ones, and being part of a group, too. Sometimes, just getting there was half the fun, as Mark Clark, emerging from his TA room, shows us. The stairs are the tricky part, though, according to Mark. The days are kept full of mean- ingful learning experiences, as il- lustrated by Mr. Pickens. This obviously hardworking, serious and diligent teacher seems to have been caught in the act of presenting some type of demon- stration to his class. That ' s why school is so enjoyable. The classwork, after-school ac- tivities, after-activity jobs, after- work games, after- . . . All in all, one tends to get rather wrapped up in what ' s going on. It seems that there ' s just no escaping the fact. School is the major part of our lives. For many of the more industrious and athletically inclined students, after school sports events fill the empty hours. Here some senior students practice shooting bas- kets with Robbie. Those inven- tive seniors! Always coming up with a different way of doing things. Actually, they are just checking out a rumor that some- one had put a hole in the top of the basket. At last, the favorite period of the day Lunch Hour. It replaces re- cess, which was an old favorite back when we were kids. Here a group of hungry underclassmen chow down with relish (not the pickle kind). ion 21 AMBER EMBERS IGNITE THE % , WARMTH OF COMING HOME PRIZED PROCESSION Collecting kleenex, and building ' til all hours of the night, the float committees worked to finish their floats for Thursday ' s parade. Nominees were elected for queen candidates and class representatives. In the afternoon of October 6th, students were dismissed from class to watch the band, drill squad, and floats parade over to the grade school and back. It was a chilling, exciting night Thursday, October 6th, 1977. The brightness of the stadium lights flooded the bleachers and set the mood for a night of celebration and rememberance. Everyone milled around shouting cheers and chants to keep warm.

Voices hushed as class respresentatives arose to present their gifts to the team. In the distance, a flame and a torch could be seen. The leader holding the torch prepared to light the fuse of another homecoming bonfire. Flames leaped higher and higher with every gust of wind. Everyone jumped back, escaping the popping sparks. The toasting heat of the fire was accompanied by hot cocoa and cookies provided by the cheerleaders.

Brut cologne, and other goodies gave everyone a sense of close- ness and success for homecom- ing. Slowly people headed for their cars or the school building as the red and orange coals gave their last glow and pieces of wood col- lapsed to their final death. On this night, it seemed that the care and excitement between players and fans had created even more warmth than the fire. On Friday, homecoming night festivities began with a pizza sup- per sponsored by the junior and senior classes. Alumni were wel- comed and they joined in with present students to exchange greetings and hopeful predictions of a Lion victory. It was overcast, but the rain held off as the game began.

Halftlme brought rain and gusty winds but the band, floats, drill squad and the homecoming court took a lap on the track trying their best to keep a smile on their faces. The theme, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away , was carried out as the band led the floats and the court ' s cars. The float entry judged best on originality, cre- ativity, and overall appearance was that of the sophomore class, followed by the freshmen in 2nd place, with the eighth grade tak- ing 3rd place. The drill squad marched onto the field and presented their hall of entrance for the court candi- dates, waiting for them to arrive in their cars. Enhanced by the band playing The Best of Bread and the large flags whip- ping wildly in the wind, the court filed through, proud and nervous. Kelly Miller and her escort Rob- bie Hartnett led the attendants. representing the freshmen class. Sophomore attendant Lori Burg- er with her escort Charlie Klea followed. Junior attendant Laura Mountz, escorted by Kerry Mill- er entered next. The final three attendants were the senior candi- dates for homecoming queen, Lorene Lloyd escorted by Ron Klopfenstein, Vicki Moore es- corted by Kevin Souder, and Me- linda Yockey escorted by Steve Palumbo. The girls and their es- corts lined up in front of the stands, shaking from wet chills and excitement. Whistles and cheers were heard as Melinda Yockey stepped for- ward to accept her crown and roses from last year ' s queen, She- lia Burger. With tears in her eyes, Melinda and her escort led the court back to their cars. The queen ' s car made a final round of the track before leaving. The fans and crowd went wild during the second half as the Lions charged on and were victorious over a tough Carroll team, 15-6. Though coach Lake didn ' t feel it was the upset as the press re- ported, it was a perfect conclu- sion for a homecoming game. Afterwards, students and alumni filed back to the school for the Homecoming Dance sponsored by the Yearbook. It was held in the cafeteria, with record-break- ing attendance. The band Scintil- la rocked into the night as stu- dents bumped and boogied to the beat. Additional excitement, punctuated with squeals of recog- nition filled the halls where the ' 77 Oracles were being distribut- ed. The shiny silver and black books flashed throughout the darkened cafeteria as well as the East Lobby, as everyone scurried around gathering signatures. Flipping through the pages, rec- ognizing friends and recalling half-forgotten incidents, the joys and events of the past year were relived. It truly was a coming back home evening.

The guys wore tuxes as colorful as the gowns of the girls they escorted. Flowers, candles, and the lively music of ' Boda- cious ' set the mood for this formal beginning of a forever kind of night. After the dinner(ban- quet), the dance (ball) began, and soon the royal couple was crowned. Their court was announced and applauded, and the evening had begun. The stroke of midnight did not send everyone scurry- ing out to mice, however, but rather to night long after-prom parties.

There ' s no time to dwell on the past, though. The last week is too busy: cramming in last min- ute information, squeezing in fi- nal reports, the Little 500 to see, the Awards assemblies, parties in special classes, and a whole last day of (ugh!) finals. You take some time to clean out your locker, everybody ' s favorite chore. What a surprise you had when you found things that you had forgotten all about. Things that belonged in the library, things that hadn ' t gotten eaten, things that brought back memo- ries. Lunch that last day was like a ' last meal ' . Whether it was the regular Class A, or a special one of Pepsi or Mountain Dew, pota- to chips and other munchies, it felt different somehow. So final. Afterwards you went outside for a last fling of frisbee, or just sat and talked with your friends, some of whom you probably wouldn ' t see til fall. You only talked of good times. Soon enough the day was over. You took a final walk for the year down the hall that was so well travelled in your daily sojourns to and from class. You stopped to pick up your stuff at your locker one last time, and to wave good- bye to your friends. The building emptied quickly that final day. As you walked down the deserted corridor, you were ready for the summer ahead. So maybe you hadn ' t quite lived up to all your high intentions, but you hadn ' t done badly, either. And, there ' s always another year. 30 Gyration .1 THE PARTY ' S OVER ' i...,4 ) It ' s Time To Call It A Year 32 We ' re Seniors! ll gor h . Qlmighty, uieVe enior ! Caps and Gowns, Tassels, Graduation Announcements, Memory Books, Class Rings Good clothes in hand, you went through the doors of Watter ' s Studio, sensing for the first time that senior would be your label for the year. Daydreaming, you thought about finally having all the privileges that were envied as an underclassman and facing teachers on a one to one basis. Your train of thought was mo- mentarily interrupted as your name was called, and you plod- ded off to change. Minor adjustments were made by the photographer while your heart underwent a major alter- ation. You suddenly felt that to- morrow you would be on your own in a totally different society, all because being a senior sound- ed so final. Move your chin a little to the left, and smile. It was over in such a hurry you were sure that the pictures wouldn ' t be any good. The photographer thanked you and you were on your way to the parking lot, dying to take your shoes off. Riding with your best friend to the first day of classes seemed like old times. Neither one of you stopped talking and everything said was funny. As you pulled be- tween the freshly painted yellow lines on the asphalt a carload of friends pulled in beside you with their radio blaring. Brushing back the shaggy, sunbleached mop of hair from your tanned brow, you got out to join the al- ready overpacked mob beside you. Inside the building your eyes tried to adjust to the darkness. During the next few minutes many faceless people said Hi , and you hoped that they weren ' t angry because you hadn ' t used their name in your response to them. For once it mattered about your friends ' feelings because over the past four years the whole class had become co-workers in a world that was soon to be ours to We ' re Seniors! 33 Jukka Aarnio Alan Behm Barb Bunch Lynn Anderson Brian Blauser Audie Burger Lori Augustyniak John Blough Robert Burns Brad Baker Steve Bosler Bryan Butler Sherry Beck Dennis Bridges Don Carey Power of senior recognition was felt as you walked down the hall without a pass, going by teachers who only smiled and mumbled some- thing. You were past the wall of no exit and on your way to McDonald ' s. On the days when gas money was in short supply, you grinned with grim satisfaction as you passed the line of starved underclassmen. And you smirked because you knew that they were longing, as we had not so long ago, to be seniors so they, too, could be first in the lunch line. College information was in a stack at home for you to open each day. All insisted that they had more to offer you than the next one. Disgusted with all of the propaganda and thoughts of plan- ning your future, you tossed them in the trash and headed toward the door. Your mom called to you asking where you were going and all you replied was Out . The class meeting about graduation gowns and announcements was disturbingly quiet. It was realized that those decisions would affect our very last day of being together. But pushing that thought to the back of our minds we clung to the remaining days of our year. 1978. As spring approached, you were constantly bom- barded with questions about your future. It was time to take a setious look at the college litera- ture that arriv%tl in the mail, at want ads, and that special person who made your leisure hours full. There were so many things to consider: col- 34 WeVe Seniors!

In 1965, a group of little kids entered Leo Elementary to begin a 13 yr. career. They were the first group of kids starting in Kindergarten at Leo Elementary to graduate from Leo High. After 13 yrs. they went back to recapture some of those grade school memories.

Whatever happened to those days when you were perpetually locked in lock- ers and had to live through all that trauma? And were all those big old seniors really so much taller? learn the latest dances. Swaying to the music you re-played the great game you had just seen. Driver ' s training was scary but all the embarrassing times broke the tension. Remember the time that one of your friends, who was driv- ing, stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and there was a police car right behind you? Tearing around corners, smash- Choking on a cloud of dust, you ing into football players on your bit back the sharp retort you were way to lunch became an everyday about to hurl at the junior maniac occurrence. Lunch was an ever who just flew by. The gravel elusive object in a place far, far parking lot was a fun spot for away. everyone. Ninth grade was made up of fri- day night dances, where you could make new friends, strengthen old friendships, and No matter what you did or who you were, your greenhorn days made you into what you are to- day.

But you were relieved to find out that the owner of the Camaro was no- where in sight. Driving to school was a great privilege even if you had to park in gravel and walk through, be- tween, and over ruts. Those in- conveniences were minor com- pared to riding the bus to school, or having your mom pick you up after basketball practice. It really was embarrassing to have to pass up a ride with a group of kids because mom was already on her way. And it was very degrading fo r a junior to get into a bus filled with your kid brother and his squirmy little friends. PARKING LOT You had taken on a big responsi- bility in your junior year that added new dimensions to after school life and added more free- dom to the weekends. There were even better things coming next year when you would graduate from the gravel pit to the asphalt senior lot. 44 Juniors BLUES Kathy Overmyer performing her interpretation for Mr. Sto- ver ' s Theatre Arts class.

A group of freshmen girls eagerly lined up at the cafeteria door to buy their tickets. Freshmen boys filtered in at intervals with the older students as the lights went out. Tables were pushed aside and chairs lined the walls. The band began to play another fast moving song and peo- ple filled the floor. It was a totally new experience and the freshmen revelled in the fact that they were finally allowed to attend their first high school dance.

Coming around the first curve the leader has a mishap with the football quarterback, causing a slight delay, while the third-place holder pulls over for a pit stop. On the main straight-away, the leader reaches the cafeteria, two seconds ahead of the littler and faster seventh grade opponents.

Skate boards ran rings around the hula hoops of an earlier generation, and the sidewalk surfers boasted more casts and crutches than the jocks. Meanwhile, jogging became more all- American than baseball and apple pie. Boob tube heroes ranged from the Not Ready For Prime Time Players and the Coneheads of Saturday Night Live, to the Muppets, and the Fonz. Nostalgia and sit-com reigned in the omnipotent ratings. Adapting historical novels to TV mini-series became a popular trend following the overwhelming success of Roots . We have seen Rich Man, Poor Man, Captains and the Kings, How the West Was Won, Holocaust and several others. Country music is now in. though hard rock is hardly out. The layered look is still a popular fashion (always was during Indiana winters), and cowl necklines, stick-pins, and the ever popular tall boots. With girls in gauchos and shorter hair for the guys, the unisex look is definitely fading. Lots and lots of permed curls, kinky and unset are making the scene as an easy-to-do coif for guys and girls, however. The ever present T-shirt now boasts messages advertising everything from favorite stars to favorite brands to favorite teams to Stupid Over There. We are laughing again, at ourselves and at our world. It was the year that: Saw us at peace with the world (at least officially), and having a broad, if not equal, prosperity at home. It was Carter ' s first year, all sun- shine smiles and fireside chats, casually attired in a cardigan sweater ... a year of appeal to the grass roots, the ol ' home folks. The administration lost the busy banker Bert Lance, but good naturedly tolerated irrever- ant Billy, a beer can collector ' s idol. From the Korean peninsula to the Panama isthmus, the theme of U.S. foreign policy was with- drawal and atonement for recent guilt. The most resounding politi- cal act on the homefront was the Miamians ' refusal to declare ho- mosexuality a matter of moral in- differance. And Anita Bryant no longer sells orange juice. Around the world. Queen Eliza- beth II celebrated her Silver Ju- bilee with all the pomp and cere- mony befitting her station, while elsewhere, elections deposed par- ties which had governed in Egypt and Israel for 30 years. Mao Tse-tung was ceremoniously displayed in a crystal casket in a Peking mausoleum while his po- litically active widow quietly (mysteriously?) disappeared from public view. Uganda ' s mercurial Idi Amin was pictured playing basketball by foreign journalists, though sandwiched between reports of assassination and terrorism. While at-home viewers watched Holocaust with detached hor- ror, Cambodia was committing atrocities on a Hitlerian scale. and legalized abortion became a new Fact-of-Life in many states. South Moluccan terrorists held a school and train full of hostages for 20 days, while in Washington 12 fanatic Hanafic Muslims held 1 34 hostages for 39 bloody hours. The world, sickened with these and other terrorist acts, cheered when W. German commandos launched a counterattack and freed 80 passengers hijacked from Majorca. At Tenerife, two 747 ' s collided on the airstrip and 577 lives were lost. Meanwhile, the Nobel Peace Prize was belatedly award- ed the two peace women of N. Ireland, and the daring Anwar Sadat reached across generations of bloody enmity to extend the hand of peaceful co-existance to Israel. New York was again in the news. 59 IT WUZ 1 7 Having battled bankruptcy and the garbage collectors ' stikes, the Big Apple turned a darkened side to the world. During a stormy midsummer ' s evening, a vagrant lightning storm knocked out pow- er for 25 hours, loosing a night and day carnival of looting and arson in the ghettos. Son of Sam , the .44 cal. night prowler was apprehended, following an all-out 6 month manhunt. Richard Nixon bared his soul to interviewer David Frost, and Hubert H. Humphrey peacefully passed away, victim of the cancer they could not cure. The most significant research was the quiet work of molecular biologists remodeling living or- ganisms, intervening in genetic life. Still, on Nov. 17, McDonald ' s sold its 24 billionth sandwich (with another billion sold every 3 months) and on Dec. 4, the bil- lionth passenger boarded a Boeing 727. The White Christmas crooner died at 73 on the golf course, while the troubled young man who had howled YOUAIN ' T- NOTHINGBUTAHOUND- DAWG passed on at 42, victim of calories and chemicals. Andy !• o i- vr S ' O S . -sa ' 5 , ' ' S!T: 3 y- . Devine, Maria Calks, Groucho Marx, and Freddie Chico Prinze are also no longer with us. Farrah Fawcett-Majors became the the leading lady of television as well as the top selling poster ' s model, but wanted out of the Angels to go on to bigger and better things. Movies became even more escap- ist, with occult-horror, super beast-horror, and sci-fi vying for the comic book cultist ' s dollars. Star Wars has already become more than a trend setter — it ' s a classic of epic proportions. In the sports world, Pele, the Bra- zilian soccer super star, popular- ized that sport in the U.S., then retired at the age of 36. And, Leon Spinks did what others could not — silenced the mighty Ali. Three youngsters entered the ranks of Superstars: 14 yr. old Tracey Austin, in gingham and ponytails, wowed ' em, but lost, at Wimbleton. Wispy jockey Steve Cauthen, just a year off the farm, made a record $6 million, and three year old Seattle Slew ou- tran everything on 4 legs to win the Triple Crown. And God really did make the Irish 1 ! r ZNT IT a Mitten Mania, demonstrated by Jenny Fries, captivated the school as the class- room temperature dipped. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE WORST KIND On January 26, 1978 we all experienced an arctic type storm that many are calling the worst blizzard on record. The barometer dropped to an unbelievable 28.6 , and three days of snow and gusting winds left 18 inches of snow on the ground, which drifted to rooftop heights. People became stranded on highways, whole cars completely buried in snow drifts, while those at home fared no better. Any attempt at snow moving was completely obliterated in a matter of minutes during those first few days. Not until the winds died down were road and rescue crews able to function. It would be days, and even weeks before many places would be cleared. Surprisingly few tragedies resulted though as friends and neighbors worked together, digging each other out of drifts that were often over their heads. Nothing was moving on the roads, except by snowmobiles or on foot. As cabin fever set in, and food supplies dwindled many realized how severe the storm had been. Even school sounded good, but it would be a week and a half before it would re-open. Soon after the storm the effects of the coal miner ' s strike were beginning to be felt across the nation. The severe weather and bitter cold dwindled the stockpiled coal in many areas. Before long our area had only 40 days supply left and mandatory cutbacks were ordered. Schools had to cut back 50% of their usage if they were to remain open at all. So, the class day was delayed one hour, and all activities after school were eliminated. Classes were held in darkened classrooms, where the thermostats had been turned back to 65 . Hot lunches and showers became luxuries we could no longer afford, and all water heating equipment was shut down. Even electricity-using equipment in the classrooms was limited. The possibility of having Spring break rescheduled sooner loomed closer, but a break in the weather Snow Blitzed. Now that we ' ve found the car, how do we get it out? forestalled that. It wasn ' t too long after that the miners voted to return to work. It seemed the long cold winter was over at last. Indeed it was. Spring arrived — you know, March winds and April showers . . . but the showers came in March, and came and came ... All that snow that had been piled up for three months, and days of rain pushed the St. Joe, St. Mary ' s, and Maumee well past their banks. The flood that wasn ' t supposed to ever happen forced the evacuation of hundreds of families in Fort Wayne, and caused traffic to be re- routed around the downtown area. Volunteer sandbagging crews worked day and night trying to contain the newly created Clinton-Spy Run rivers . Millions of dollars of merchandise and furnishings were lost, though, before the waters receded. In the Leo area, the Cedarville reservoir and the St. Joe river created some problems, floodmg iields and residential areas. Spring planting was delayed and water damages were evident in many areas. So the great flo od of ' 78 (second only to the great flood of 1913) flows on. I can hardly wait for tornado season. CHOW DOWN XVJMOl GMKiFusiasai VRAMilll LOWFAT MILK  aufii Everyone ' s school day seems to evolve around this big friendly place. It ' s the place to catch your breath, and maybe a donut, or fruit and milk at project period. It ' s a meeting place, to pass on a little gossip to your best friend, or even a place to spend an hour of quiet study. During the lunch hour, however, is when the cafeteria really bubbles with life. Despite the hassles of standing in mile long lines, lunch time is the social highpoint of the day. Sharing the events of the morning, planning for tjie rest of the day, groups of friends gather around their favorite tables. Sometimes there ' s a birthday to celebrate, with cake and presents carefully hidden all morning. Class-A lunches are intermingled with the brown baggers, and athletes in their salad days share tables with junk food junkies. None of them seem quite so interested in their plates as in the friends they ' re sitting with. This room has undergone many changest ' in the past year. A delicious food mural has been painted on the bright purple wall, and a system of cash and ticket lines was initiated. The energy crunch took its toll here, too, as food heatiiig and dish washing equipment were labeled non- vital uses of electricity. Meals with only one hot item were served on dis- posable plastic plates with throwaway utensils. Even a hot bowl of soup seemed precious on days when class- room temperatures dipped down to the low 60 ' s. Everything became normgjk gain as Spring returned. We rush frotfi ' class as the luncli bell rings to our own special spot in this heiart of the school. THE ARTS . . .

Nurtured of the poison fruit and shining through the gloom A fairy princess did awake To find a prince within her room. And she beset upon him. With a whistle loud and long, A hoard of little people Six dwarfs in moblike throng. Armed with a pick and ax They jumped him toes to hair And he could not escape For dwarfs were everywhere. He pushed and pulled and grunted with sweat And then he rolled and pried Though none could he dislodge Cause all the dwarfs yelled merrily yah And told him to continue the ride. Then they knocked him down And with rope him they tied And on the middle of a table There they him lied. The prince was wondering how he got into this mess And how to get out of this fix When the princess said, and cleared it up with a smile Sleeping Beauty is cottage 7, you ' ve got cottage 6. Yet he did remain To marry her that day Happily they were wed Til with a dwarf she ran away.

THE RUNlxi In the mist of morning dew, A slender figure comes running through. His body lingered, with sweat and heat. From the top of his toes down to his feet. His leg rtiuscles, under quite a stress, Ever wondered if he ' d take a rest. His hair tousled in the wmd. His chest bellowed out and in. His steps landing so gracefully, Like a butterfly landing on a tree. Seemed to miss all of the puddles and all of the rocks. So not a touch of dirt would land on his socks. As he went by, he quickened his stride. And seemed to favor an ache on one side. The pain, the suffering, and all of the stress; Why doesn ' t he stop and just take a rest? But, oh, no, this runner doesn ' t quit; He ' s not like others who go home and sit. With his eyes on the road, he keeps up this pace. And to quit now would be quite a disgrace. Up the next hill from bottom to top. The runner goes on with not even one stop. Since now on top, he seems very high. But he will run on and descend from the sky. Is he dumb or an ignorant fool. Or does he think he ' s smart and very cool? But it doesn ' t matter what I will say. The runner will run on day after day.

It happens sometimes in the prime of our lives; no one is expecting it until someone dies. We have lost a close friend that was very dear; He will be on our minds through the rest of our years. Isn ' t it strange that we should glorify the cross, put it on our churches wear it on our lapels and around our necks — that we should sing about it and that it should become a symbol of faith and inspiration — the cross — a dark, dirty, excruciating way of legalized killing in the name of justice. Had the Romans chosen to hang or behead, or mutilate or shoot would we sing of the precious old rope or would our steeples lift rifles to the sky? Isn ' t it moving that His love could transform the long-ago counterpart of electric chairs and gas chambers into a symbol of faith and devotion? But then love changes everything it touches: it makes heavy burdens light, long hours short, ordinary faces beautiful, houses into homes, picnics into banquets, wilted daisies into bouquets, God into sacrifice, and sinners into saints. And if He could take a cross and fashion it like he fashioned wood in His earthly Father ' s carpenter shop into a depiction of deepest love, doesn ' t it make you wonder what he might be able to do with you if you yielded to His love? 70 The Arts ' AN ATHLETE Gary Piatt Like the tower of Pisa, there he stood leaning. If you blew on him, you would send him careening. Everybody said he soared like an eagle; Everybody said his chance would come. But there he stood at the starting line. Stuck in his own Bazooka Bubble Gum. He was shooting baskets one day, sunny and warm. Dreaming of stardom ever since he was born. But with his first shot, it started to storm. So he streaked away in silent form. Up he leaped, up so high, Up so far he could touch the sky. And as he floated down, graceful as a feather. He started to run, but his shoes were tied together. So on and on will this star compete, For he is an athlete. Halls ' ere which the spirits tread, and depression is the stone. In the realm of solitary hell, sits there the Castle of Alone. The oneness of the inferior. The sign and anguished tone. This is the unyielding mortar of the Castle of Alone. Dungeons filled of pity And turrets filled of hate Escape from here, of those within, They find, so sorrowfully, it ' s too late. These walls of unheard pleas in the underworld are kiiown The Hades of the mind. The Castle of Alone.

SCHOOL SUBJECTS Jeanne Glenn Most important is English, We all know that ' s true, Then history, math and science, To mention just a few. English, to most kids. Is absolutely boring. To other students, however. It ' s not worth ignoring. History, people say. Can teach a valuable lesson If we will start studying it And not just keep a-guessin ' . Mathematics deals with numbers POETRY Kim Sellars Writing poetry is really rough Just reading it is bad enough! With metaphors and meters It ' s as tough as learning kilometers. And that can be quite fun Once you learn the rules And the sum of one and one. Science is very tricky. And takes a lot of thought To find out what is fact And what is not. But the one we all like best Is lunch, you must agree. It would be much better, though. If it was served for free! If you put all these together. You get a full school day. Believe me, you ' re ready for vacation By the end of May! Poetry is kind of neat, it talks of love and all that ' s sweet. It talks of weather, seasons, too, grass of green and sky of blue.

Now I can smile. And I have love. That you arranged. We had such fun, We had such hope, And had no fear. But gone ' s the fun. We lost the hope, With yesteryear. You were my life, You had my heart. You owned my soul. I gave it all, ' Cause I loved you. You made me whole. But when you loved. It wasn ' t me. Our love is gone. And like in chess. You were the king, And I a pawn. You killed my life. And crushed my heart. You sold my soul. You took it all, and loved me not. But reached your goal. Now I can ' t love. For I have fear. So I won ' t try. I have no hope. Don ' t want to live. Just let me die. 76 The Arts Death hides in the woodwork, and on the pendulum swings, moves the hands on the face, and uncoils the springs, walks to the sound of the heartbeat tick-tock, and lives the body of an age telling clock.

Steury, 78 The Arts NO BOYS ALLOWED Even though the Drama Club had to cancel its spring musical production, it did have the oppor- tunity of bringing a light-hearted, fun-filled com- edy to Leo audiences in the fall. NO BOYS ALLOWED was the play, and its cast turned in warm, believable performances on all five nights. The story of the play dealt with a boy-girl-boy triangle, ' spooks ' , and misunderstanding galore — the kinds of things that make audiences laugh. Room 118 was once again transformed by ' able crews (the set even had an upstairs) and under the direction of Jerry Elton Stover and Kathleen Overmyer, student director, the Drama Club did themselves proud. 1. The girls, discussing their slumber party plans are inter- rupted by The Country Cousin (played by Karen McCor- mack) who has just seen a ghost! Jeannie Glenn, Jennifer Cook, Bonny Klopfenstein, Barb Daily, Renee Johnson, and Eileen Notestine all register their beliefs in ghosts. 2. Scott Ritter played the undercover Cop and drew many laughs. Here he has barged in on the party. He, too, is chasing ghosts. 3. However, the girls find his presence too tedious and they rid him from the premises. They really think a boyfriend or two has set them up anyway. 4. Jeannie and Eileen decide to watch a rock special, and then the action begins! 5. Brad Little and Tony Wittwer played slave and mas- ter respectively. Here they connive on how to win Renee for Tony. Renee is in love with Jim Nolan, you see, and so the plot thickens because Bonny would like to date Jim, and so on, and so on ... 6. Jim has been blamed for scaring the girls; innocent though he is, he is captured and held prisoner by two anx- ious body guards. Brad, who was excellent as the Bump- kin assures them that EVERYTHING is O.K.! The Arts 79 No Boys Allowed 7. Bonny, now watching guard, makes a pact with Jim and Jeff. If she frees them, Jim must take her to the big school dance. What else can he do? 8. Barb Daily, never fearful for a moment, challenges Mr. Midnight , played by Doug Sanford, Mr. Midnight has been causing all the trouble and misunderstanding Now, even he is confused. 9. Jim and Jeff, freed at last, decide to disguise themselves. How else, Jim argues, are they going to mix in with the girls, apologize to Renee, and win her back? HOW ELSE INDEED! 10. Caught in the act, one might say, by Tony, the boys try to shield their identities. However, the only answer is to tie Tony up, which the boys do with glee! 11. Coleen Chapman who played Jim ' s mother, has been called by Renee to get your son out of here! This is not what mother expected fo find. She had no doubts until now. 1 2. But, as in all good comedies, the hero explains, the true vilUans are caught, and the play ends with a kiss. 80 The Arts grind tone Have It Your Way — English, Art — Hold The Science Dished out to order we chose between thick and chewy or thin and crispy. Or as most seniors preferred, ' over easy ' There lies a heavy decision to make at the beginning of the freshman year, should you try to get all of the required classes finished as soon as pos- sible, equally divide classes over 4 years, or wait until the last minute to do everything? It depends on priorities and values and what you expect in return. The responsibility is up to the individual and it is what- ever they make it. Along with the ones that slide by, there are ones that put their noses to the grindstone and make the most of what is offered. Grindstones 81 try lin3UQl Many of us who have taken foreign languages share the same dream, to sometime in our life visit the places where the language we have studied is spok- en. Day after day we prepare ourselves for the trip by learning enough words to ask the important questions such as Where is the bathroom? or Can you direct me to the nearest hamburger place? Not only do we study the language, but we also try to find out as much about the people as possible. In C Spanish, the students learn about the culture and customs by singing their pop tunes, discussing cur- rent events, and reading well known magazines. Although we have done much to capture our dream, none of our efforts would have meaning without Mr. Pickens, or Miss Carr. So to these two special people, Danke Schoen, Merci Beaucoup, Mucho Gracias. Various foreign language posters were seen on the walls throughout the year. Tammy Doctor and Darlene Delagrange work on their contributions. Proving that learning can be fun. Miss Carr teaches her class a Spanish song. Mr. Pickens ' taking a backseat once in awhile lets students speak their mind in a different language. 82 Grindstones To improve their shorthand skills Lisa Wells and Denise Pulver take dictation. Mrs. Mumma checks for correct posture and other things that contribute to better typing ability. Along the way there are always a lot of errors. Sara Crabill prepares to erase what seems to her to be her millionth error. basic BUSINESS Tap, tap, tap is the sound you heard when you walked into almost any of the business courses offered this year. Typing, of course is the most widely taken of all the other courses. Whether the student is planning on making a career from the course or if he wants to know how to type for college, this class not only teaches him a valuable skill but it also teaches him endurance. Two students who have made it through the jungle of typewriters and many shorthand notebooks, are Lisa Wells and Denise Pulver. Both received honors for their abili- ty and both are examples of accomplish- ment to those in beginning classes. Grindstones 83 Very vivid with his gestures, Mr. Gabet demonstrates lefthanded signal. Caught in the middle of a sentence, Mr. Kerbel shyly avoids eye contact with the camera. REPETITION Ever since the spectacular television mini se- ries. Roots, everyone has been interested in their past heritage, hardships, and heroes. Looking back into our past history and gov- ' | ' ernments, we have been able to learn more about ourselves today. Everyone knows that history repeats itself and this year the students were able to prove it to themselves. While the country was involved in the ERA movement, we were reading about the Womens Rights ' ? March in 1920, when they were first able to vote. Also, while we were all trying to keep warm during the coal miners strike we were also studying the first time the Taft-Hartley Act was put into effect. 84 Grindstones Besides our past, we also became interested in how our own government is making history today. Students here had close contact with this since our own Mr. Stephen Gabet ran for State Representative and made history in Leo High School. Mr. Schlatter refers to his teacher ' s guide. We all know the feeling of ' someone looking over our shoulder ' . Mr. Butler does it well. Mixed emotions are seen on Lori Burger and Cindy| Williams ' faces during class discussion. Grindstones 85 Math problems always seem difficult until explained ' step by step ' by the pro, Mr. Walton. By the smiles on their faces it is easy to see that both Miss Goeglein and Randy Butt enjoy the field of math. ClflTHE aflTICflJ. flZES In this age of computers and increasing money problems, the mathematics depart- ment has been busy preparing students for a life of mathematical mazes. For the past few years, job opportunities have been greater in this area than the areas of Eng- lish or the Fine Arts. Because of this, it isn ' t the case of learning our alphabet, but of knowing our numbers. The student begins this long procedure of preparation by taking math in junior high. Among their basic math classes, the stu- dents learn very important things such as balancing their checking accounts and the procedures of banking. You never know when you might have to take out a loan for a new skateboard. 86 Grindstones Year by year the process goes on and before long the students find themselves in trigo- nometry or calculus. Ask any senior, all you need for these classes is one good brain and two good batteries. Pretty soon you begin to think of math as being fun and challenging. This year, four seniors, Tony Wittwer, Lori Augustyniak, Lynn Anderson, and Paul Scudder entered the ' Math Field Day ' at Manchester College. They came back well represented with Tony winning a champion- ship in a game called ' Hex ' . So look out Einstein, looks like you ' ll have some stiff competition. If it ' s there, Mr. Steinhauser will solve it with a piece of chalk and a demonstration on the board. Test time is the true test, did you ask enough questions, did you ask the right questions, did you study? Grindstones 87 €XP€RIM€NTnL COURS€S The greatest system known to everyone is not the school system or the government system, but the system of life and its surroundings. Back in the 50 ' s, people dreamed of going to the moon. Through science, this dream became reality in ten years. Now we are wondering about U.F.O. ' s; who knows what the future will bring! Science has brought us knowledge of life in outer- space; but even more important, it has helped us learn more about our own kind. The student at Leo begins his search by learning the basics in physical science and biology. Then he expands by entering into the worlds of chemistry and physics. For the student who is more interested in life, advanced biology and marine biology give him a chance to relate to other creatures of the world.

The stress of chemistry finals is shown on the faces of Bill Schwartz and his classmates. Explaining that chickens leave tracks. Miss Baumgartner instructs her class in biology. Many students who are taking these courses don ' t really know why. The most popular ques- tion asked is What good is this going to be to me? Well, this year in physics this question was answered. The students constructed mo- del boats from toothpicks and clay then tested them for weight and distances. This experi- ment showed them the importance science would have on architecture. So you see, almost everything we do in life could not be without science. Grindstones 89 coed callouses i In the last Olympics, the U.S.A. came home with great honors. Not only did Bruce Jenner win us the decathlon but Dorothy Hamill was equally received by the public for getting the gold in ice skating. Because of this, men and women are working together instead of com- peting in sports. Through our new coed class we have been able to give more meaning to the word equal. At the beginning of the year everyone took the idea of coed sports lightly; the girls thought it Student teacher, Mr. Hissong, gets some valuable teaching experience. Open-book tests aren ' t as easy as they seem! Mr. Hey thinks that every class needs a little organization. would be great to prove themselves and the boys thought . . . well, we all know what the boys thought. Soon enough, though, we found that sharing our gym class with the opposite sex was tougher than we had ex- pected. Everyone benefited. The girls became more aggressive and the guys reached the conclu- sion that being gentle with the girls can mean trouble. Also, these classes are help- ing to train Leo athletes for the future Olympics. BOING ... a mini-trampoline sends Rod Liechty high for a dunk shot. With a few extra minutes at the end of class, students hurriedly finish their homework assign- ment. A rousing game of ping pong brings out the best in Ellen McKinley. Grindstones 91 92 Gobbledygook gobbledygook It ' s A Breeze — With The Freedom Of Choice If everyone at Leo was in- structed to make his own ba- nana split chances are that no two would be made exactly alike. Some people prefer the ice cream over the topping while others prefer less banana and more nuts. Because of the preferences of each individual there has to be a wide variety of gobbledygook offered to keep everyone happy. This is the reason why academic, ser- vice, and strictly pleasure ori- ented organizations are all choices the students have the opportunity of choosing from. These choices can be made in any combination imaginable. The only similarties to be found in all of the groups are: a top banana and a sprinkling of nuts. The first keeps the clubs organized while the latter keeps them interesting. Gobbledygook 93 rj5 r rvi .©(Basip - Ballot machines were set up in the East Lobby offering a new experience to many and the opportunity for all to vote for the student council president and vice-president. Elected were, Larry Ramsey, President and Jamie Porter, Vice-President. These hard working students demon- strated the importance of group par- ticipation and cooperation. This pro- vided an excellent opportunity for stu- dents to be involved in school govern- ment. Not only were they learning in their school work the functions of our government but in a real sense they were participating in a very important system of government here within the school. It gives everyone who is a part of it the knowledge of the difficulties as well as the positive aspects of poli- tics. Many school activities, rules, and changes were determined through their efforts. Two of the things accom- plished that affected the entire student body included after game dances and project period. After game dances were equally divided for each organi- zation to sponsor and project period was lengthened in order for activities to be able to complete their business. This year a new idea was tried for those who achieved a very high stan- dard of excellence in their school work. The honor rolls were for those who received at least 4 A ' s, and no grade below a B in solid subjects. That was for the high honor roll. To get on the other honor roll, you must receive at least 2 A ' s, no more than 3 B ' s and no grade below a B. After achieving honor roll status, you can try for either honor society (junior high for 8th and 9th grade students and high school for 10th through 12th). If you have the requirements and are elected you receive a certifi- cate and become an honorary member of the National Honor Society of Sec- ondary Schools. To be a member you must be more than an excellent student. A commit- tee of teachers and other staff mem- bers critique your status in the school. You are judged by character, leader- ship, scholarship, and service. The club raised money to help build schools, hospitals and other much needed buildings in underdeveloped countries. 94 Gobbledygook Student Council. FRONT ROW: J. Porter, S. Miller, L. Ram sey, L.

The yearbook editors and staff experienced many of these remembered times staying hours into the night or even coming to school over vacation just to finish the year- book.

Back in the corner of the art room in that secluded little cubbyhole, there is a year to be re- membered. It was there that the William Shakespeares of our school got together to bring the yearbook to the student body. Filled with many cherished moments, the 1978 oracle will always be looked back on as an accomplishment of hopes and sorrows. Don ' t be shocked or scared if sometime, somewhere, when you least expect it, you ' ll be the subject of a Leo High Photographer. This sneaky group of characters roam the halls, lurk around corridors waiting to catch teachers and students in their ' natural ' poses. Theirs is a big responsibility. This group of 15 students must see that every team, every type of sporting event, each special event, all classes, every organiza- tion, and all aspects of school life are re- corded pictorally. That ' s no small endeavor in a school where there ' s as much going on as there is at Leo. Each of these pictures must be developed, then enlarged, and printed in the school darkroom. Juggling time in the darkroom with approaching deadlines sometimes was an art itself. There were also all the little mechanical nemeses to cope with like the time Dean shot the seniors on the play- ground with no film in his camera. The results were rewarding though. Of the thou- sands of pictures shot this year, only a few hundred have been selected for use in the yearbook. These photographers are listed in the back of the book with their picture cred- its.

Without all the support and hard work of all members of AV club. Service club, and Media workers it would have been very difficult to keep Leo organized and running smoothly. AV club members delivered films, made minor repairs, and helped operate Audio Visual equipment. At every home game they were there taping the action. Service club ran errands, took money at assemblies, helped in the office, and worked in the attendance office. Their main job was to help all staff members in any way possible to keep their classes productive. Media club shelved books, checked out books, and helped busy students find the books they needed. They helped Mrs. Grose keep the Instructional Media Center organized and functioning. 98 Gobbledygook AV. FRONT ROW: J. Deventer, R. Meadows, S. Carey, T. Miller, Herman , G. Hodgdon, M. Hell- er, J.

It took a lot of hard work and determi- nation from a few students to bring back the Lion ' s Tale. Low stu- dent support and the responsibilities as well as a sponsor were definite difficulties. Without a sponsor, there is no paper. To save the day, Mr. Artherhults let himself be talked into taking over the Lions Tale. This year ' s Editor was Dee Dee Fett, Features Editor was Vicki Moore, sports editor was Renee Johnson, and Photography and Graphics Editor was Debby Feath- ers. Another person who helped a great deal was Lauri Sanford. There weren ' t as many issues this year as in the past but the ones that came out were quality journalism. Two of the topics that received indepth cov- erage were the vandalism and searching at the coliseum concerts. Student reaction was felt through- out the school from these informa- tive and inspiring articles. Due to the determination and vigilance of the newspaper staff, this school will continue to have a newspaper well worth the work. Tours of the Seyfert plant.

A fam- ily was found by the Adoption Bu- reau and everyone helped to make it a Merry Christmas for them by pro- viding needed clothing, food, and many other necessities. At Easter the girls prepared a party for the Leo Kindergarten children. They served refreshments, played games, and ended the day with an Easter egg hunt. The close of the year brought the Spring Banquet. Outstanding mem- bers received awards and the offi- cers were presented with flowers. The banquet concluded with the in- stallation of the new officers. Being a Mat Maid isn ' t just cutting oranges in half. It takes a great deal of enthusiasm and effort. At the beginning of the season Mat Maids help with practices, rolling out mats, making wrestling gear, and running errands for both coaches. They learn how wrestling is done — which moves are which, which one to use when, how many points for a take-down, how many points for a pin, and just most of the basics of wrestling. And after all of the technicalities are learned, there is an even harder job, giving the guys some moral support, some spirit. You become part of the sport. You know how that guy feels when he ' s down on that mat, wrestling with all of his strength, physically and mentally. And when the pin is finally made, you share the feeling of triumph, or the feeling of defeat. 100 Gobbledygook FHA. FRONT ROW: R. Prick, T. Miller, S. Scudder, D. Minnick, L. Yoder, D. Craig, T.

At the same time, howev- er, they accumulated enough dimes, nickels, and quarters to have a German festival at Leo in May. The twenty members of German Club range from Freshman in German 1 to juniors in German 3. Words such as ' Wunderbar ' and ' Dummkopf may be heard echoing in the halls as they practice their lessons between classes. Selling 540 Mexican wedding cakes made it possible for the Spanish Club to participate in the International Festival held at the Coliseum. Native dances were demonstrat- ed by groups from many nations and ethnic foods were provided for sampling. Caroling at Christmas time, a tradition started by Miss Carr in 1975, was heard throughout the halls, and eating at Don Pe- dros offered a new experience to many of the Spanish speaking members.

A deep, dark tan and temperatures above 32 might have had a little influence on the two groups of hopeful marine biolo- gists, too.

Gobbledygook 103 5 f ETTES When an organization starts out with high hopes, and big ideas, there ' s a general feeling of excitement and confidence. The Drill Squad began the year with everything going for them; new routines, excitement generated by new members, and the fluttery feeling in the hearts of seniors when they thought of marching for the last times. It started out well, but calamity struck. The captain became ineligible and was forced to drop out, and two more seniors followed suit. Only three senior members and the co-captain remained. Things were certainly looking bleak. But due to the determination of co-captain Caren Schweigel, and the never ending enthusiasm of the sponsor, Miss Goeglein, the Drill Squad jumped back and regrouped. The first thing they did was to decide what should be done about another co-captain. It was suggested that another senior girl and two junior girls be assigned to aid Caren in her duties. Senior Sharon Roy, and Tammy Worman and Sheri Hetrick, both juniors, were appointed as assistants. They joined forces and Drill Squad began to get back on its feet. Tryout for more members began and ten girls were selected to fill out the ranks for the remainder of the year. Girls were sent to a one-day camp to learn even more routines and came back with not only new routines but new ideas as well. New uniforms were suggest- ed and a committee chose purple T-shirts with names on the back, and white shorts. Newly attired and ready to face the rest of the year together, there was but one more thing they wanted to do. They asked the varsity cheerleaders to come to a Drill Squad practice and teach everyone the school song. Thus, before every game the pounding music of the band and graceful gyrations of the cheerleaders and drill squad ' s new routine, lifted the spirits in the hearts of the spectators and gave Leo the school spirit that it needed. No matter what obstacles came in their path they dealt with it, trying to make their drill squad a good one. The majorettes twirled their way into a successful season. They added pep and excitement by leading the band in parades and providing halftime entertainment at football and basketball games. The squad was large, yet well put together with a total of 1 1 girls. Ranking seniors were captain Dee Dee Fett; Vicki Moore, and Lauri Sanford. The girls showed a bit of their talent and some razmatazz by performing to the tune Give My Regards to Broadway complete with hats, canes, and high stepping. Other outstanding routines of Bugsy Malone and Rocky were equally successful. 104 Gobbledygook Drill Squad. FRONT ROW: T. Wright, R. Butler, C. Crosby, L. Wells, C. Schweigel, K. Mahan, L.

Gobbleygook 105 Cheerleading is like a hamburger, it looks ever so scrumptious and everybody wants one. But, although all hamburgers look great from the outside, its what is hidden Under the Bun that counts. Some cheer- leaders come ' with cheese ' and some burg- ers lack ' enthusiasm ' , yet with the variety one could not please so many. Along with makings of a great hamburger there ' s a lot of work and preparation in- volved. Little do many folks realize that the cheerleaders work their ' two all beef patties ' to the bone. Besides the broken bodies from camp, the numb legs and fingers from foot- ball season, the mental exhaustion of trying to plan pep-sessions, and the temporary loss of voice from yelling, much time, money, and hardwork is devoted into responsibil- ities that few even notice. It is up to each squad to work out projects to raise their own funds. They decorate, serve and help clean up at athletic banquets, homecoming and the bon fire, they help out with the minority sports, do ' extra ' for the major sports and all the while try to keep activity, participation and enthusiasm throughout our school. But when the last ' bite ' is gone, you always look back and think that it was worth everything that went into it and L.H.S. is lucky to have the cheerleaders with the ' special sauce!!

Gobbledygook 107 us3Kiiia eg csr a 1 By raffling off a side of beef, the Booster Club was able to purchase new uniforms. Because of the diligent work of the girls during the raffle, the club paid most of the cost of the uniforms. The boosters energetically supported the school ' s sports teams. They attended all home games and many away games. Candi Weilbaker, President, supplied the necessary encouragement for the girls to learn the cheers and generated tremendous enthusiasm which cheered the teams on all year. Joining forces, the Girls Athletic Confer- ence and Lettermens Club became one, the Letterwinners. The general consensus seemed to be that the female athletes were not receiving the same opportunities and rights that the male athletes were given. A committee of four G.A.C. members and four Letterman con- structed a new constitution making ban- quets, money distribution, and awards equal for both sexes. Their main money making project this year was the sale of purple windbreakers to stu- dents and the community. They also had a car wash in the spring to help expenses. The money earned went into a general fund. Before an initiate can be a club member, he las to letter in a varsity sport and work 10 .lours. Their work involved keeping score at junior high games, helping on the baseball field, or collecting wood for the Homecom- ing bonfire. Different sports required differ- ent objectives. The year ended with a spring banquet. Let- terwinners and their parents were invited to recognize outstanding athletes. 108 Gobbledygook FRONT ROW: P. Roth, C. Oddou, A. Butler, V. Neuhouser, B.

A rough sport, football is best played by a rough team, toughened by long, jarring prac- tices. And our team was at its best this year, winning its first ACAC championship. To do that, however, included beating Carroll, which happened when the Chargers ' winning streak died on our rain soaked field Home- coming night. As stated by Coach Lake, The winning attitude was not only a team effort, but also the school ' s and the fan ' s. Undefeated after the opening game, this year ' s team was the winningest ever, go- ing into the State playoffs with a 9-1 record. This was the first time Leo had ever sent a team to the playoffs and the pride and excite- ment of the school and communi- ty was as tangible as an electric current. Busload after busload, and un- countable cars poured fans into the Tippecanoe stadium to sup- port these men from Leo. And they proved themselves that night as they battled a larger, but no tougher home team to a deadlock at the end of regulation play. A heartbreaking defeat in over- time and the season was over, but only on paper. The games of this season, the surprises, the upsets, the victories were not by chance, but through the determination of a coach and team that wanted them badly enough. Coach Lake was selected Coach of the Year, and eight players (twice as many as any other school) were named to the All- Conference team: Co-captains Tim Garrison and Don Carey, as well as Don Dean, Tom Morrical, Herb Maier, Jeff Linn, Glenn Gerke, and Brett Packs.

The girls had racked up a perfect 16-0 record, and had been ranked 4th in the state by the end of the sea- son. Before the sectional could begin, however, other foes began to take their toll. The Great Blizzard , illnesses and injuries disrupted practices and affected players and Coach Butler as well. Tension mounted when the draw for sectional play showed a prob- able rematch of Leo with Dwenger. Having lost such a close game earlier, the Saints were sure to be keyed up to face the Lions again. The game was every bit as tough as expected, with Leo managing to retain an eight point margin for a hard won victory. Next came an equally tough match. Fort Wayne North Side in the title game. And equally- tough-North Side did what no other team had been able to do. They beat the Leo girls. The crushing loss dissolved all dreams of a trip south. They had played their last game together. Though another team went on to win the state championship. Coach Butler still feels his girls are the best in the state. More bounce to the once, Augie scores again. The girls have brought home their share of honors this year, too. All-Conference selections were Lori Augustyniak, Tonya Burns, Sara Crabill, and Sue Miller. Sue was also chosen most valuable player in the Fort Wayne sectionals. Augie, who had contributed immensly to the team effort was chosen for the All-State team, and was invited to participate in tryouts for the U.S. National Junior Women ' s Team.

Coached by Mr. Hey these guys pulled their forces together and won the reserve Holiday Tourney. Strong re- bounding, defense and fast breaks were just a few of the combined contributions that led to this team ' s great season. In preparation for the varsity team next year, the girls re- serve basketball team gained needed experience by working themselves through hard hours of practice. Their season was a good one with a final record of 4 wins, 4 losses. Miss Goeglein was there to push them on with her determination and readied them for their futures as varsi- ty players. After a long season, the fresh- man boy ' s basketball team looked back on their games. It wasn ' t the best year but they could say with pride that they had improved and really, isn ' t that the point? Their overall record was 2 wins and 10 losses.

Surely the track-trained athlete is in fine physical condition, for this is the sport that involves the entire body in competition with other individuals. Following the example of the earlier varsity teams this year, the track team also turned in a winning season. One victory was over 8 other teams at the Dekalb Relays.

Goal Getters 127 « M (8 As stated by Coach Hey near the end of the regular season, The race is between us and Carroll. If we lose one, we share it with Carroll. Our kids aren ' t willing to share it. Hey has invested his last four years on this senior class, starting with Glenn Gerke, Don Carey and Gary Piatt between their eighth and ninth grade sum- mers. The following year the SOME KIND OF SPRING FEVER!! other eight seniors firmed up I the nucleus. This is my team. I ' ve only added four boys to it in the past four years. This is my best team for sure, Hey said. Chuck Gee, Dean Eck- land, and Bob Norton are the pitchers who have really come through for the Coach. Gerke is the catcher, the resident Carlton Fisk Thurman Mun- son. He ' s my franchise, Hey explained succintly. At one point in the season Gerke was batting .429, going 4 for 4, in- cluding two homers in the Heritage game. Piatt was then swinging at a .405 clip and playing center field just as ef- fectively. The Lions were bat- ting a collective .293, with Tim Garrison and sophomores Tom Kirk and Lynn Gerke topping the .300 level. The sweetest Most winning pitcher Chuck Gee winds up to let another one fly. victory of the regular season was beating Carroll, 6-3. A year ago the team went 11-12, losing eight of those games by a single run. It had to be in the back of their minds. They ' re a businesslike team. They ' re pretty lowkey. They play ball and don ' t count on winning with enthusiasm off the bench. They ' ll go out and play hard for you. They don ' t need that emotion point. They still get the job done, Hey said. He also had great confi- dence in their defense. The heart of the team was its strength up the middle along with Gerke, Piatt, Carey at shortstop, and Lynn Gerke who played flawless second base.

Spring fever you know what it does to seniors, he said. No excuses. They ' re there. If they keep it up they are going to win themselves a Conference championship. That ' s just exactly what they did, too! Though they did have to share it with Carroll be- cause of a loss to South Ad- ams, their only conference set- back.

A lot of living has gone into it, a lot of hectic, scrambling days. Now those days are quickly gusting past and the dusk of year ' s end quietly, gently enfolds us. A calm descends. Reflecting on the days ' activities is not unlike watching the lessen- ing rain. A sense of finality — it is finished. The puddles smooth over, the droplets on the window pane disappear. It ' s time to be getting up. It ' s time to be going on. Going On 163 Glenn Gerke Showing his quality as a well-rounded athlete as well as an all-round ' nice guy ' , Glenn turned in outstanding performances in many sports. He was All-Conference in football as well as Leo ' s first All-Conference wrestler. Also in wrestling, he was the Conference champ. Sectional runner-up, and 4th in IHSAA. As catcher on the baseball team, he was named MVP, with a batting average of .404, and 19 RBI ' s. N y M Kelli Stuckei Whoever that was who didn ' t know about great things in small packages never met Kelly.

Having worked 6 years for Mrs. Amstutz, Kelly has accumulated 866 hours of service to the school.

She entered 5 of her works (the maximum allowed) in the Scholastic Art Competition, and all 5 were selected for showing. Three won Honorable Mention and 2, a pastel still-life and an acrylic portrait won Gold Key Finalists. These were then forwarded to N.Y. where the still-life won a Gold Medal in the National showing.

SP€CinL SENIORS This is an unique feature this year, featuring a very unique classful of ' Special Seniors ' . With space limitations to face, the toughest part was selecting the few from so many. In honoring these classmates who have achieved distinctions in such diverse fields, we salute all seniors who have made the extra-ordinary seem commonplace. Sue Miller Setting goals high enough may get to be a problem for a gal who ' s accomplished so much in so many different areas. She has turned in outstanding performances in volleyball, basketball, track, and softball, while accumulating a total of 53 credits and graduating in the top 5% of her class. Sue holds the ACAC track records for both the high jump (5 ' 4 ) and the 880 (2:24), having never been defeated there in 5 years.

The only way of knowing is by looking at its branches. The iWI H Oracle has been our dream fo a year. We ' ve tried our best by working bur hardest. We hope that everyone enjoys and de ri :es some of the same satisfaction by reading if that we did by doing it. We tried to make it tc suit the tastes of everyone but only time will tell if we succeeded. -We would Bke ' to say with all sincerity that we didn ' t and couldn ' t make it without the support ' of Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook. She kept us togeth er when we were caught in the middle of a bliz- zard, a flood, and an energy crisis. She, even lore so than us, was instrumental in bringing fthis book t o you. We thank her very much. « Also, a very fond thank you to students and especially to the teachers and administrators for their help in every way. We thank everyone once again, Thank You and Eajef !!!
