From cra- dle to grave, a person is af- fected by some type of growth THI each day. The world ' s population rap- idly multiplies. Cities sprout suburbs, which in turn grow into cities. A rural locale blossoms into thriving communi- ties, such as Grabill and Leo. As the area is expanded and new families settle in, exist- ing facilities become obsolete. Just as our schools increase in physical size, so, too, the students develop. Minds increase in knowledge, young people mature into adults, and children grow less dependent on their parents. The students branch outward, stretching into the broader com- munity. There they en- large their horizons through jobs and com- munity involvement. -Cindy Becko J-, • opening WWW K, 7C30458 Karen Pflster, Kelly Martin, and Marcy Dwin- ell proudly display the Drill Squad ' s newest ad- dition, rainbow flags.

To Live, thrive, and survive, one has to learn to deal with the accompanying PAINS Just as there is a cloud in front of every silver lin- ing, there is some pain involved in growing. The growth of urban areas means that Ma Nature is forced to sacrifice some of her beautiful country- side for housing addi- tions and miles of as- phalt. An increase in school enrollments re- sults in greater student- teacher estrangement. Growing up involves the embarrassment of being at the awk- ward age of ado- lescence for what seems to be an eternity. Even the joy that escorts increased in- dependence is paired with the heartaches of breaking away. This hurt is not restricted to teens only. While they are proud to see their chil- dren mature, parents find that they miss the feeling of being needed. From all the aches and pains, however, there emerges the feeling of gaining ground. The hurt subsides in the realiza- tion of goals achieved. -Cindy Becko opening The Leo Volunteer Pep Band jazzes up halftime of the first game of the ACAC girls ' tourney with a school favorite, Soul Man. A new group this year, the set the beat for many of the Lady Lions ' victories.

It is after school that Qj imlthough fun things sometimes happen in class, it is the hours pupils spend out of school that help them grow socially. Time spent sitting in desks is rather repetitive, as semester after semester, students go to the same classrooms. Even though the after-school activities break up the routine, they aren ' t without their ups and downs. Underclassmen who can ' t drive are limit- ed to the happenings to which their parents can chauffeur them. Free-wheeling upperclassmen soon find that the price of gas puts a squeeze on their wallets. Growing socially also poses another problem- that of learning how to cope with the opposite sex. Just ask the guy who has finally gotten up the courage to dial that special number what a busy signal does to one ' s confidence. Or, consid- er the girl who has perfectly curled her hair, only to discover the humidity is in the drippy range. Anyone in a similar situation will testify that moments of despair accompany social growth. All is not lost. Car pools solve the transporta- tion problems, and the date goes smoothly, wilt- ed curls and all. By Monday morning, it ' s easy to laugh at the mess-ups and smile at the memories of good times. -Cindy Beck A euchre craze has mushroomed overnight and people can be seen playing almost anywhere. Several tournaments were held, with most of the action centering in the cafeteria at project period. Tom Bender.

Student Council, the main organizer of Homecoming and its festivities, selected Remembering Our Past as this year ' s theme. Stu- dents participated enthusiastically in the various dress days throughout the week, which helped build the students ' spirit. During project period and lunch on Tuesday, the cafeteria was filled with Junior and Senior female voices pre- dicting victory for their respective Powder Puff football teams. The Ju- niors ' cheers of The Seniors will bite the dust! were answered by the Sen- iors ' , When chickens have lips-which will be never! By 8:00 that evening, a crowd had gathered in the football bleachers in anticipation of the second- ever Powder Puff football game. The expected flag football game turned into tackle football by the end of the game. This only encouraged both teams to fight harder. However, the Seniors defeated the Juniors, 27-8, proving that chickens will never have lips! With the tension of the game straining his face.

The girls brought candy, homemade cookies, and notes to psyche up the team for a Homecoming victory. Friday, with its short assembly bell schedule, finaJly arrived and school spirit was quite evident during the pep session at the end of the day. The senior football players participated in The Price is Right, in which they had to guess who their secret admirers were. To help them out a little, each admirer recited her football player ' s most embarrassing moment. This drew many laughs from the students and many red faces from the squad. Tension was high on Friday night, October 10 as the Lions and the Heri- tage Patriots battled on the football field. Both teams knew that to ease up in the least would bring severe conse- quences and so they gave their all. After playing four suspense-filled quarters, however, Leo squeezed by Heritage, 21-19. After the game, everyone was eager to receive his yearbook at the Home- coming dance. Well, the ORACLES came, but the dance didn ' t. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the WMEE disc jockeys, who were to do the dance failed to show up, disappointing the hundreds who were packed in the East Lobby expecting a dance. While waiting anxiously for the DJ ' s, the yearbook staff handed out the 1980 ORACLES to the students and alumni, who occupied themselves conversing with friends and signing yearbooks. Shortly before 11:00, the dance was officially called off. Gradually, the halls and East Lobby emptied and the cafeteria was put back into order. It was a disappointing end to an exciting week. However, the spirit in the air that week had been a winning one, and the victory over the Heritage Patriots made Homecoming Week a success. -Jeanne Glenn o Homecoming Queen and King, Lori Garman and Tim Smead, were selected by the student body Lori, by votes; and Tim, by capturing the most footballs from the girls. After a two-hour wait for the dance that wasn ' t, freshmen Mark Lowden and Stacy Seller take a break near the yearbook table. 3 1833 02489 8618 -Randy Cleven a®. homecoming homecoming aa 1 . ...

Bigger Better ■ More experience, more members, and more activities make up the Drama Club. The members participate in plays and take field trips and undertake several money- making projects. To gain funds for new cos- tumes and set construction materials, they sell play tick- ets and pay dues. Along with entertaining others, the members provide amusement for themselves by going bowling, attending oth- er schools ' play productions, and by throwing Halloween, Christmas, and end-of-school parties. When asked their opinions of Drama Club, sophomore Beth Liechty exclaimed, It is a really good experience, and Tricia Tappy remarked, It ' s neat, and I ' m really glad I ' m in it. Besides giving members the chance to make new friends, the club offers a great opportunity for anyone to develop and practice his acting abilities if he plans to make a career of acting in the future. But perhaps Drama Club is summed up best by sophomore Susan Smith, who shrieked, I love it! -Lisa Antil aa The family and close friends gather to hear Aunt Caroline (Jane Stout) tell them never to expect one penny from her. The plot thickened when Aunt Caroline died and everyone spent the rest of the play covering up for each other.

Worth The Wait Story by Jeanne Gler Photos by Cindy Beck Saturday night, January 10, brought four WMEE disc jockeys out to Lion country to put on the long-awaited Homecoming make-up dance. Although the dance was held on an open night — no basketball game to draw more people — the yearbook staff, who spon- sored the dance, breathed a sigh of relief as crowd began pouring in the doors at 8:00. Fast Jimmy Roberts, Douglas B. Pritchett, Jennifer Carr. and Magic Steve Christian gave out Mountain Dew T-shirts, took song requests, and kept the tunes rolling throughout the evening. Over two hundred screaming, gy- rating bodies jammed, boogied, and rocked to ACDC, Queen, and Pat Benatar. For those who came only to slow-dance, there were also mel- low tunes by artists like Dan Fogelberg and the late John Lennon. The music played continu- ously for three hours, but for some, the dance was too short. Because of the DJ ' s eagerness to please and their obvious ability to do so, the WMEE Spec- tacular proved a financial success as well as a fun-filled night. Sporting her neiv pink hat.

SO WM . RED- Hff class tourney GYM A BATTLEFIELD photos by Jeff All-out war! Class pitted against class! Teams fighting teams! Indivi- duals straining to win! This class tour- ney was certainly a blood-thirsty com- petition. Class spirit began growing with the choosing of class color and the ordering of tourney T-shirts. But class patriotism hit its peak on Friday night, March 13, creating a war-like atmosphere. Walking into the gym, competitors and spectators saw a variety of vivid colors. On one side were the fresh- men ' s green and the sophomores ' red. The juniors ' blue and the seniors ' pur- ple covered the opposite wall. During basketball and volleyball games, the gym floor was dotted with strange combinations of purple and red or green and blue bodies. As the tourney progressed, the teams remained in fierce combat while competing in the obstacle course, arm wrestling, and tug-of-war. During the Handlin junior-senior tug-of-war, the unexpect- ed happened. The rope snapped, sending both teams backward in falling domino fashion! However, a new, thicker rope was brought, and the mighty Class of ' 81 went on to win the tug-championship for their third year in a row. Other excitement occurred in arm wrestling while senior Amy Yoder and freshman Nora Cook strained against each other for over ten minutes! The end result was a victory for Amy when Nora lifted her elbow from the board. Ping-pong, ice-cream eating, the egg toss, and the cottonball race added variety and lighter entertainment to the tourney. The conclusion of class tourney brought with it a victory for the sen- iors. This was the first time in eight years that seniors had captured the title of Class Tourney Champs! •Jeanne Glenn o The official timekeepeT, Mr. Heller, and scorekeeper, Mr. Walton, await the tourney ' s final result.

The group met every Tuesday during Project Pe- riod to discuss school events and ac- tivities. Members kept busy during the year by planning several dances, two blood drives, a carnation sale on Val- entine ' s Day, and Class Tourney. When asked what she thought the group ' s strong points were. President Cindy Beck replied, We had a good adviser, Mr. Gabet, who listened to our ideas and let us do new things. The Class Tourney dance, spon- sored by the Student Council, featured the band Unique Lighting and Sound . Although the Council had lost money on their previous dances, the combination of the tourney and the dance, which lasted from 5:30 until midnight, brought the Student Council over two hundred dollars. -Pam Working C These seniors (opposite page), rowdy after winning Class Tourney, dress up for the dance.

May 2: It seemed so far away, but before you knew it, the time had come for buying formeds, ordering tuxes, and finding dates for one of the most anticipated events of the year: Prom. On Saturday afternoon, the junior prom committee began decorating the rented dining room at the Ramada Inn. Fish nets were draped from the ceiling to create an atmosphere for the theme, Sail Away to Paradise. When 8:00 that evening ar- rived, the Ra- mada Inn began to fill up with hundreds of nor- mally blue-jean clad teen-agers. Now they dressed as though attending a formal black tie dinner. Those who arrived after 8:00 were greet- ed with curious glances and stares. Who came with whom? Oh, look at her dress! I bet she bought it in Florida over spring break! Hmm, doesn ' t he look nice in a tux! I wish they would hurry with the buffet - I ' m starved! Sh ortly before the buffet was served, an un- expected visitor made a spectacular entrance. Jeff, the Singing Messenger, whisked in, blow- ing his whistle announcing his presence. Tony Hechler, the unsuspecting victim, whose birth- day was the next day, commented later, When I heard that whistle, I knew it was him, and I PROM COURT: MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED: Trace Roth, Sarah McNaIr: MOST SOPHIS- TICATED: Boyd Leichty, Ginger Morgan: MOST ATHLETIC: Matt Augus- tyniak, Tonya Burns; KING: Pat Vendrely: QUEEN: Joyce Beer- bower: BEST DRESSED: Robby Hartnett, Carri Wellbaker; WITTIEST: David Hosier, Jane Stout; ROWDIEST: Andy Over- myer, Rita Kaiser; MOST INVOLVED: Matt Grieger, Cindy Beck.

Couples, chaperones, and stag prom- goers helped themselves to salad, main dishes, and dessert. A constant, low din was present — voices rose and fell, sil- verware chinked against plates, and soft jazz music filtered through the speakers of Unique Lighting and Sound who were the evening ' s musical enter- tainment.

First, the nerve-wracking song and dance try-outs are held. Then, the sets are built and painted. Doing this well is impor- tant for the sets to be both at- tractive and effective. Rehearsals and more rehears- als are the key to a successful and enjoyable play. This re- quires many after-school hours and a lot of personal sacrifice to meet this rigid schedule. And what would a musical be without music? The orchestra has to know cue lines to begin songs and remember to play qui- etly. These areas together com- prise the musical production. -Jeanne Glenn o The orchestra put in many hours of practice and performance.

FINIAN ' S RAINBOW brought more than 140 people at Leo together to fulfill one pur- pose: to put on a musical pro- duction. To do this required a full-hearted effort and a great deal of time on everyone ' s part. Beginning the third week of February, the cast and chorus blocked scenes and memorized the songs. The orchestra also be- gan practicing together. The cast, lighting crew, and orchestra, got their first taste of show business at the Fine Arts Festival three days before open- ing night. In a twenty-minute pe- riod, they performed three songs and bits of dialogue from the play. FINIAN was performed May 12, 13, 15, and 16.

Ceil- ing tiles were torn out, instructions were spray- painted in the walls, and the East Lobby parking lot area was excavated. Several new features were added to the school grounds to compensate for the ones that were lost. The stone parking lot was paved, and eight trailers were brought in to replace those class- rooms being torn down. Even with the new facili- ties, there was still a shortage of parking and storage space, (cont ' d on p 34) The constructioki to ex- pand the school meant many sacrifices to many people. To the seniors, it meant the loss of one of their privileges-the sen- ior parking lot. To some of the teachers, it in- volved giving up old, fa- miliar rooms and packing everything up to move to a trailer. To all the stu- dents, the construction meant crowded halls as lockers were torn out of one hall and put into the free wall space of an- other. The people who were perhaps most bothered by the effects of the con- struction were those working in the office. They felt the brunt of the jackhammers, since only a wall separated them from the rat-a-tatting. As a senior, it ' s tough to put up with the mess and not enjoy the results. -Maria Yoder Dust was also particularly thick near the office area. There were definite problems related to the construction, but we sur- vived and even helped.

Gary Novak, principal, stated, the cooperation of the stu- dents has been just re- markable. The construc- tion is not only right on schedule, but slightly ahead. We expect to have the South Wing complet- ed by fall, barring any un- foreseen problems that may come up. So, for the time being, we will all take two aspi- rin and wait. • fcatarc: constmction -Photo by Kris Steury Graduates Fill Present Gym For Last Time Around 6:45 on the evening of Friday, May 22, seniors and their families and guests began arriving at the school. Because of the construction work, almost 200 parking places had been taken from the parking lot. Therefore, each senior was al- lowed only three parking tickets to distribute among those he invited. However, this small stipu- lation did not discourage attendance. The small class of 104 students drew a crowd large enough to fill the entire gymnasium. The invocation was given by Jeff Clark. Then Cindy Beck presented her salutatory address. The senior choir sang Never Let Go of Your Dreams and Scott Wyman gave his salutatory speech. Sen- ior band members performed their final number. El Cld, with the beind. Valedictorian Linda Crabill spoke and Mr. Novak announced individual sen- iors who had received honors and scholarships. Although the torch was found this year, it refused to light. So Matt Grieger passed an unlit torch to next year ' s senior president, Al Stovall. Matt also presented the class gift, a banner designed and made by Mrs. Bill Kerbel. Finally, the diplomas were given, the tassles were turned, and the bene- diction was said by Trace Roth. The 1981 gradu- ates proceeded out of the gym and into the future to find new dreams and achieve new goals. -Jeanne Glenn o Co-Salutatorians Cindy Beck and Scott Wyman and Valedic- torian Linda Crabill give each other words of advice and en- couragement before delivering their speeches.

J: graduation A Time To Cry, And To Laugh Meiny different thoughts occupy the seniors ' minds around graduation. Looking back, some feel that the time has passed quickly. Can it really be time to graduate? Because of our school ' s small size, many close friendships were formed with fellow students, as well as with teachers, coaches, and other staff members. With most, we will lose contact. But with a few, we will develop deeper friendhips. High school has been filled with a variety of opportunities and growing experiences. But now it is time to move ahead with life and to go after bigger and better things. Yes, it has gone fast, but a lot has been accom- plished — goals have been met, dreams fulfilled. Now it is time to wrap up the past, set new goals, and start planning for the future. But whichever road we choose to follow, the challenge for each one of us will be to use all the experience and knowledge we gained during our thirteen-year school career. -Jeanne Glenn o SR.

The arrival of these memen- tos in late February served as a reminder of how quickly graduation was approaching. While riding the bus. younger students were often relocated to the front while their elders hoarded the coveted back seats. Seventh-grader David Alexander peeps to- ward the rear as he tries to discover just what the big attraction is people Braces, freckles, and the plague of highwater jeans M. he faces in the people section change year by year. Braces, freckles, and baby teeth disappear as the wearers of the smiling visages grow older. The improve- ments that happen as each person discov- ers what is right for him are sometimes offset by some uncontrollable develop- ments. Growth spurts bring on plagues of high water jeans and shoes that seem to shrink overnight. Making ends meet (in the zipper sense) becomes more and more difficult. Another type of growth accompanies the physical changes. It is a physiological gain, when each person grows aware of his or her identity as a member of the male or female gender. This growth is easily observed as the boy next door care- fully cultivates a miniscule mustache, wa- tering it with gallons of Brut. Or when the neighborhood tomboy does a flip-flop and discovers curling irons, Leggs, and Max Factor. Although some of these changes and discoveries are difficult to become accus- tomed to, they add the spice of life — variety — to days that tend to be largely monotonous. Eventually the metamor- phosis is completed, and new, unique per- sonalities emerge. It took a little time and pain, but no one can say that the results aren ' t worth it. -Cindy Beck o Mark Lowden and Stacey Seller (hidden) find that lockers not only hold possessions, but people as well.

AV helps teachers teach better with films, tapes, film strips and other audio visu- al equipment. In AV there are a lot of talented students that spend an unlimited amount of time helping teachers. The students do everything from providing equipment and repairing it, to laman- ating. Mrs. Rosemary Grose is the head of the AV department. She locates AV materials, and she is always aware of other teachers ' needs. She selects and orders all of the equipment, and helps keep the budget. Mrs. Doyle is an- other who helps in AV, and actually spends the most time with the stu- dents. She also designs posters, docs lettering, lamanating, and film schedul- ing. Mr. Artherhults is the teacher that sets things up for public address events and sports events. During our school ' s construction period he had to move all the wires from the press box, so they could tear down the press box. Filing items for the AV. department, Mrs. Rose- mary Grose goes over the papers. He stays late at night, and tapes TV programs and other films. The AV people put in a lot of work for what they do.

Std CncI Int: for Ryan, plants, needlecraft, pianist For many junior high and senior high school students, learning new material is a task that must be and does get accomplished within a specified amount of time. However, there are some students who have difficulty learning and retaining information given in various subjects. These sub- jects range from Consumer Math to U.S. Government. It may be only one subject that a student has trouble with. There is a class offered sometimes called an alternative classroom — to students who have difficulty in certain subjects. Taught by Mr. Bill Kerbel, this class offers special help for students to earn required credit from academic courses. In short, they are the same courses without as much detail. The alternative classroom began three yearsago. At that time Mr. Kerbel offered to teach the class. Seeing that students succeed in something they ' ve never been able to do before is one of the joys in teaching these classes, says Mr. Kerbel. Since class size is small — between eight and twelve students — Mr. Kerbel is able to devote more attention to each individual. The students in class do not all study the same subject. For example, in one class of ten, there are six different subjects being studied. You have to be organized, says Mr. Kerbel, since no one studies the same course or at the same rate. -Jeanne Glenn o While John Lovett is reading te Journal Gazette, Mr. Kerbel points out some of the interesting issues.

Mrs. Miriam Jones retired after 25 years of service in the High School office. Mrs. Jones has been at Leo High from 1956-1980. In 1956 she bore the dual role of secretary for both the high school and the elementary. She took the role as secretary under four principals at Leo: Mr. Steiner, Mr. Custer, Mr. Jones, and presently Mr. Novak. In 1978 her title changed from secretary to receptionist. She took care of the attendance, students lockers, and the public that came to Leo. Not only is she active here at school, but also is involved a great deal in her own community. She regularly attends the Grabill Mennonite Church. She sings in the choir and plays the organ. She has been on the Grabill Fire Depts. Lady ' s Auxiliary for many years. Some of the many hobbies that she enjoys are cake decorating, crocheting, and music director for a few choirs. She also sang in ensembles for the school on certain occa- sions. For 25 years she sold tickets for all basketball games and all other functions that the school had.

The south end, housing most of the junior high classes, was to be the first area to be affected by these growing pains. Before the tearing up and remodel- ing could begin, however, there was the problem of relocation of those classes. Over 230 students, 113 of them 7th graders, had to be moved to new quarters. Eight classrooms, room 118, and 203 lockers would be affect- ed. Eight portable double-wide trailers were brought in to house the classes, but there were no locker facilities there. That presented a problem for the 200-plus students who still had two months of school left. After consulting with the architects, Mr. Novak felt the lockers could be removed and placed in another part of the building. Since this would take some time to accomplish, a temporary solution had to be found. It was decid- ed that the juniors and seniors, the two classes which had full length lockers, could share with the 7th and 8th grad- ers. This Big Brother Big Sister idea didn ' t go over too well with the older students. However, when Mr. Novak (cont ' d on 50) ( seventh graders Jim Harris Chris Hattery Peggy Henderson Mark Hershberger Robert Hewitt Patrick Hoar Jo Hobson Suzanne Hohl Julie Hosier Ann Huguenard Lisa Jo Huntington Samantha lemma Brian Koepke Ken Koons Gretchen Korte Diane Kurtz Doug Lake Lisa Land Paul Lash Steve Lengacher Amy Lewis Brian Liechty Karen Lothamer Ron Mancini Kris Martin Daryl McConnell Brad Menshy Wally Miazga Shelly Miller Max Moor -Mike Day .

Many of the junior high students didn ' t like the idea either, but when they found out that they could choose who they would share with, they de- cided to go along with the plan. Since the 7th graders would be moving into the older students ' lock- ers, several were asked their opinions about it. Scott Novak replied, It ' s OK if you get to share with the right per- son. On the other hand. Amy Lewis felt that, It ' s not fair to make them share their lockers. Many others just didn ' t seem to care one way or the other.

From all outward appearances Rhonda is a typical 7th grader, laugh- ing and giggling with friends during project period or struggling with a jammed locker. But on the inside Rhonda is a very special girl. Four years ago Rhonda was diagnosed as having a disease called leukemia. As soon as she was diagnosed, Rhonda was put on a treatment of chemothera- py. She was then on the treatment for the next four years. But not long after Rhonda had finished her treatments, she had a relapse and was put back on the therapy for two more years. Rhonda now goes every week to Mem- phis, Tennessee to receive her chemo- therapy. She leaves on Tuesday night, spends a day there and returns on Thursday. There are a lot of trials and strug- gles that go along with being a cancer patient and when asked how she and her family coped with them, the bash- ful girl replied, We ' ve accepted it as a normal part of our lives, it ' s just the regular routine. 1 just want every- body to think of me as a normal 13 year old, Rhonda state d. Normal. What is normal for a 13 year old? At Leo it ' s the first year attending high school, required home ec. and shop classes, and having crushes on older students. But un- known to most students, there are kids who have gone through trials and struggles at very young ages, and be- come stronger people because of these challenges. You realize that the little things in life aren ' t as important after going through something like this, the mature youngster informed. When the subject of living normally was brought up, Rhonda quickly re- plied, 1 don ' t try to live normally, I do! Interview by: Susie Robbins Diagnosed Hodgkin ' s disease April, 1980 o seventh graders ■ m Christmas Can Diiye Successful Every year the students are presented with new challenges. This year was no exception. During a required project peri- od assembly, Mr. Novak announced that the whole school was going to participate in a can drive for the needy people in the township. Mr. Don Yoder, township trust- ee, said that if every student would bring in seven cans of food, the total would be over 5,000 cans. Almost everybody thought that a goal of 5,000 was too high to reach. However, Mr. Novak promised the entire student body a half day with no classes and a dance with WMEE disc jockeys if they reached their goal. On Monday morning the students start- ed bringing in cans, and surprisingly, the eighth graders were right at the top. Due to a slow start, it began to look as if the students would not get the half day off. On the last day, though, the final tally showed the total well over the goal. By the end of the can drive it seemed the sophomores had won, as they had the greatest total number of cans. But they had not won. The 119 eighth graders had more cans per students, and they won the pizza party. Many eighth graders related that it was (cont ' d on pg. 54) Bart Albright Tammy Bailey Tania Ball Brian Bauman Grant Beatty Bruce Beerbower Don Bender Mary Blauser Mike Bonhrake David Boyce Joe Brandenberger Jessica Brandt Tom Brewer Krista Bufe Jackie Butler Jo Ann Cavanaugh Mindy Christman Cheryl Clark Bobbie Clay Boyd Coolman Rodney Cox Anita Delabarre Kim Delagrange Michelle Delagrange Brig Dellinger Jon Douglass Terry Doyle Mike Dwyer eighth graders C- ll Vincent Stovall and some of his friends finish up the can drive by hauling the cans to the west lobby for final delivery.

Although many of the students agreed with Carmen, Just about all of these who had had braces said that they really didn ' t regret wearing them at all, because of the way that their teeth turned out.

One of the major concerns for stu- dents facing the brace age was the namecalling- tinsel teeth metal mouth, tin grin, and more — but as most students commented, You get over it. Most students will wear braces from one to six years, depending on how much dental work is needed. Don ' t be fooled, though. Even after the braces are off, another two to four years will be spent on mouth position- ers and retainers. In addition to this, there exist some dangers, such as get- ting the braces caught in your pillow at night, leaving your retainer on your lunch tray and accidently throwing it in the trash. And the most dreaded dan- ger of all is getting your braces caught on someone else ' s when giving a friendly little kiss. Braces aren ' t exactly cheap, either. They will range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the amount of work and how much time it takes. -Todd Delagrange o Not Pictured: Lisa Krauter Randal Perron Laury Ziehr Glenda Stabler Don Stall Tim Stoller Eric Stouder John Stout Gretchen Strasser Chris Stuckey Michael Thomas Leah Thornhill Bob Timbrook Mark Toarmina Mishelle VIot Sherry Wasson Myron Weber Dee Dee Wielbaker Karen Wiblcn Lisa Witt Ken Witte Christy Wittwer Patty Wittwer Jenny Wright Toyna Wyman Deana Zimmerman Trlcia Tappy, Brian Blake, Gary Fisher, Dale Gerke, and graduate Lynn Gerke (far left), take time out to look through their new 1980 year- books before the homecoming dan ce.

As the car reaches 55 miles per hour, it starts to shake and then the engine starts rattling and clank- ing as if the engine is going to fall through. Mike also relates that his car uses a quart of oil every other day, evidenced by the smoke that pours out of his exhaust and hood con- stantly. When taking a girl out on a date, he states, She can ' t get out of the car since the doors stick. No one ' s car is like Mike ' s big green boat but he loves her. John Shidler considers his car a piece of junk also, and the only thing keeping it to- gether is the rust. He proceeded to drive it home one night where the back bumper fi- nally bit the dust. Jim Burns describes his car as definitely the pits. He had an accident and the doors now stick, and the front end is smashed in. The inside of the car looks pretty good except to turn on the heater you have to use a screw driver, Jim explained.

He says, Taking at- tendance every period helps to keep students in school. Many students, when asked the question, Why would you skip out? replied that, It was some- thing else to do, School was bor- ing, or they didn ' t want to be in school in the first place. The next question was, How do students skip out? Some students either fake a note, have their mom write them a note, or as one student re- plied, I just walk out. The final question asked was, After the student went to all the trouble to skip out, where would they go? One student said he would go home and sleep, while most of the others would either go to Glcnbrook or Southtown Mall. What ' s the use in skipping out then? The way it sounds, there isn ' t much to do anyway. Besides there is always the chance of getting caught. -Todd Delagrange o Shifting gears on a tractor is a little tricker than in a 4x4, Gail Stcigerwald finds out. ' 1)(1) .

The Carter Administration ' s decision to reinstitute draft regis- tration became a major topic of discussion among the seniors, both male and female. The rea- son for their keen interest was that they were the first class to be affected by the draft in a long time. Under the rules of the Se- lective Service Board, males 18 and 19 years old were required to register within 30 days of their birthdays. Females could not register, even if they wanted to, due to a Supreme Court deci- sion ruling the drafting of wom- en unconstitutional. Responding to that, Dave Hosier stated, If women want equal rights, they should have to register like us. Seniors debated over not only who should register, but if any- one should have to sign up dur- ing peace time. Opinions on peace time registration ranged from Jon Voder ' s, It stinks , to Dan Schardt ' s, It ' s our duty to our nation. No matter what anyone thought, the government could find no better alternative.

Sporting their colorful T-shirts, the Leo girls enjoy 80° weather in front of the bus that served as their home on wheels THE PCSSLM EXDEMENCC It was a dreary Wednesday night, nearly eight o ' clock, a time when most students were home busy with studies or TV shows. An average day was coming to a close. For six seniors Student Council members, however, the word average had nothing to do with Wednesday, No- vember 12. That night was the be- ginning of an exciting trip to Florida on a Taylor University Possum bus. Cindy Beck, Linda Crabill, Becky Ehlers, Kim Reasoner, The- resa Kurtz, and Maria Yoder boarded the bus at Heritage High School, not knowing what to ex- pect. They found, to their surprise, that approximately thirty other stu- dents from East Allen County schools would be riding Possum Five , a renovated Greyhound, with them. Since the purpose of the Several members of the group seek elu- sive handholds while scaling to the summit of Chimney Tops Mountain in Tennessee. trip was to encourage good rela- tionships among the schools in the area, the close quarters proved to be an asset. After all, it is rather difficult for students to concentrate on school rivalries while they are sitting almost on each others ' laps. The trip was not all work and no play. The students enjoyed three fabulous days in Florida, including one day each at Disney World, Riv- er Country, and New Smyrna Beach. The highlight of the trip was far removed from the Sunshine State. It was a mountain climbing expedition in the Smokey Moun- tains of Tennessee. The six days passed very quickly, and the girls were soon home, loaded with sou- venirs which would remind them of the possum experience. photos and storyCindy Beck o • VS mi ' -.jaisrSS The foundation had been laid.

Growing faster, stronger, more skilled is what sports is all about. The dreams are present, but there ' s plenty of sweat- ing and stretching to be done before they will come true. The world of sports is one in which pains are sometimes considered to be good signs. The discomforts of warming up prevent shin splints later on. Exhausting practices mean more endurance in the long run. An athlete learns to take the physical pain as it comes, knowing it signals growth and improvement. There are some pains, however, that can ' t be helped with band-aids or Ben Gay. The disappointment of losing and the heartache of seeing dreams go up in smoke are not easily treated. In a school with a winning tradition, it is sometimes hard to admit defeat. Even the knowledge that everyone did his best doesn ' t fill the void left by unac- complished goals for a long while. These hurts only time will heal. Sooner or later, the realization dawns that losing is a part of winning. And, after all, we ' ve certainly won our share. •Cindy Beck The mascots embody the Lion Pride which is growing more apparent at Leo in increased game attendance and more spirit. w -Randy Cleven Anyone who is involved in cross country — whether he be fan, coach, or runner — knows that the most logi- cal and often-asked question is How much farther? From start to finish, every question emblazoned in his mind how much farther wondering when the grueling pain will stop. Well, for the 1980-81 cross country runner, the distance was farther than that for runners in previous years. The Indiana High School Athletic Associ- ation had once again lengthened the standard cross country running dis- tance. The usual two and one-half mile distance was changed to 5000 meters (3.1 miles). This longer distance, how- ever, did not hinder the Leo Cross Country Team. With many new faces trying out, the team had to rely on three returning lettermcn and six new underclassmen who had never ex- perienced the joy of cross country. Leading the team for the season was, in fact, a new runner, Jeff Smead. As a sophomore, Jeff helped the team tre- mendously with his outstanding run- ning achievements. Jeff had three first- place finishes in the season and was All-Conference in the ACAC meet with a third-place finish. With a record- breaking time of 16:18, Jeff led the Lions in the ACAC conference meet as the team at Sectionals with a sixth- place finish, which qualified him for the Regionals. The team also finished in sixth pl y] not qualify for the Regie During the Regional race, Jeff ended his season after twisting his ankle. The season was a building one, as head coach Mr. Dubach put it. It was a season for new runners to get ac- quainted with 5000 meters. When the season finally came to an end, there was a sigh of relief. Senior Dave Ho- sier was elected captain, senior Matt Griegcr was awarded the Golden Guts Award, and sophomore Jeff Smead received the Most Valuable Runner Award. The team was al- lowed a whole week off, and then it was back to the roads. Many long and lonely miles would have to be put in before track season started.

The Lady Lions ' season came to an end, but sev- eral of the team ' s players received outstanding awards for their accom- plishments and hard work. One major award was given to Junior Dawn Craig, who was chosen as the ACAC Tourney ' s Most Valuable Player. The Lions had three players who made All- Conference: Dawn Craig, Leigh Dela- grange, and Tonya Burns. Leigh Dela- grange and Tonya Burns were also se- lected for the All-Area team. In addi- tion. Burns was chosen from thirty-five girls to play on the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star team. Outstanding performances were also given by the Reserve Girls ' Bas- ketball team. The girls won their ACAC tourney by defeating Heritage, making them the respected champi- ons. The team ended their season with an 18-5 record.

These girls cilso put in many long hours of hard work to perfect their rou- tines and cheers. Cheer- leader Beth Witte quoted, Cheerleading was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. It meant coordinating moves perfectly. Firing up the Varsity Girls ' Basketball team were the Boy Cheer- leaders. These boys thought of chants to get the girls fired up, and built pyramids during time outs. These boys kept the spirit roaring at the girls ' games.

The wrestling team shook Leo history by bringing home two Regional champions: Matt Rat Grieger at 155 pounds and heavyweight Mark Neuhouser, who pinned his opponent in the finals. The team placed seventh of twenty, sur- prising some schools who thought Leo obscure. With a team record of three wins and seven losses, the wrestling squad was not expected to do much. What was expected eind what happened were two different things. Twenty-one records were set, including the fastest pin by Ken Osborn in eight seconds. The future of the team may have looked hopeless at times as injuries and setbacks took their tolls, but with much determination, the wrestlers kept each other going throughout the worst of times. ACAC Tourney was the turning point for the team as Leo claimed three champions: Andy Overmyer, Matt Grieger, and Mark Neuhouser, with his second All-Conference title. This was the first time Leo had three individual champions. Sectional fol- lowed, and the same three made it through to the Regional meet. There the Lions got revenge on South Side, New Haven, and Woodlan, teams who had beaten them in the Sectionals. One goal Coach Kerbel had set for the season was to go to Market Square Arena for the state finals, not as a spectator, but as a coach. 155- pounder Matt Grieger fulfilled the goal as he placed second in Semi-State, qualifying him for State while also giv- ing him his first upset in a 26-0 season. Matt was defeated in his first state round in overtime, 3-1 by Highland wrestler Benny Puntillo. Although Matt was Leo ' s only wrestler in the state competition, the entire team practiced an extra three weeks, and supported him at state. Maybe for the News-Sentinel, Re- gionals was a great day for Leo, but for the wrestlers, the whole season was well worth it. -Matt Grieger o MAT MAIDS, (front row): Mr. Bill Kerbel, Barb Albright, Patty Wittwer (second row): Lee Henderson, Julie Wisler.

Injury after injury came without mercy to several teams, with winter sports hit hardest. One winter sport, wres- tling, topped the others by far in the variety and quantity of its injuries. No matter what part of the body it affected, each injury did have a direct result on both individual and team. Doyle Steury ' s thumb injury, though it involved such a small area, was enough to keep him from wrestling for the rest of the season. An ankle injury halt- ed Andy Overmyer ' s uninter- rupted pinning streak of ten pins. Not all injuries happened in competition, however. Andy ' s ankle had healed by Regional time, but after he lost in the final match he joined the ranks of the wounded once more. Using a brick wall and his bare fists to vent his frustration, Andy pounded his way to a broken hand. Players didn ' t hold the only claim to injuries. Coach Kerbel, while wrestling Mark Neuhouser in practice, re- BB The worst part of being injur- ed was not beinq able to help my team out when it was losing. -Tonya Burns | « ceived a knee injury severe enough to require surgery. One of the most painful things about injuries of any kind is the mental anguish suf- fered as a result. Being in- jured means sitting at the sidelines, a difficult task for active athletes. Tonya Burns, who sprained both ankles in practice the night before Sec- tionals, found sitting the bench harder to bear than the physical aches. Although he was sidelined with a knee in- jury, Tim Smead still yelled instructions to his teammates at ACAC. Although team members missed the contributions of their injured teammates, they found that they became stronger to compensate for the losses. So, though injuries caused a lot of pain, they brought some gain. M Fifth ACAC Title The gymnastics team had much to prove to itself cind its loycil fans. The team ' s four previous Consecutive ACAC championships prompted great expectations from its members. Another ACAC chaimpionship for the gymnasts may have looked unrea- chable at times. Lack of experience and an early defeat by ACAC contend- er Norwell seemed to set the odds ageunst them. The girls, however, did not let these setbacks dissuade them from trying for another ACAC title. Lori Yoder led the team during the conference meet and won the overall title with a 30.00 score, one-hun- dredth of a point ahead of the second place finisher. In spite of earlier up- sets, the Lions completed their goal and won their fifth consecutive ACAC championship.

The shot had to be counted as his third, however, since he had hit his tee shot out of bounds. The season was tough, with 7 losses and 5 wins, some of them surprising. One loss, to Churubusco, was especial- ly difficult. In that match, the 4-man totals were even, 174-174, but ' Busco won by having the lowest 5th-man score.

The two are good enough to have caught the attention of a local auto parts store, which sponsors them. The boys practice biking at least four hours a day and need special suits, bikes, and helmets to race. To compete, Scott and Robbie have traveled as far away as Vincennes, Indiana. Still skeptical? Well, Doug Lovett is another sportsman. He finds recreation out of school through fishing and trapping. Doug traps for mink, fox, muskrat, and ' coon, and he fishes for whatever is in the St. Joe River. When the weather ' s good, Doug and his friend head down to the river to fish or check the traps. For Doug, the time spent outdoors is re- laxing and restful. Guys aren ' t the only ones who participate in sports outside of school.

It was that way for the Boys ' Track Team. With powerhouse Norwell in Leo ' s conference, our team found it quite difficult to stop the Knights from capturing another ACAC championship. Oversized by the AA school, the Lions had to settle for 2nd place. This, though, was quite an ac- complishment for the team as it had been a good many years since Leo had placed that high in the ACAC.

Tina Donat ran the hurdles in 16.4 seconds, .1 faster than the previous time, while Lisa Hadley picked up 2 with her shot put. Her new record stands at 33 ' 1 . Leo was also well represented at the Fort Wayne Track Sectional. The team had qualified 11 girls in all, but conflicts and injury prevented four of them from competing that night.

The team lost its first four games, then came on strong to win the next five straight. From that point on. it was mainly a see-saw battle. On the whole, the team had a better than average season. As Mr. Michael Hey comment- ed, Our seniors played great for us, and we had a lot of young players show their talent. We played some good baseball, and ended up second in our conference, which was a really big highlight. The team had four batters hitting at Ducking, sophomore slugger Scott Mill takes a close call at the plate. over a .300 average. Ed Yoder, the leading hitter ail year, won the batting trophy with a .402 average and also the RBI trophy with a total of 28 RBI ' s. Ed Yoder and Ray Pulver were both Ail-Conference selections at the catching and pitching spots, respec- tively. Pulver had the most wins, and according to Coach Hey, Ray has really pitched well for us this season. A good defensive second baseman, Trace Roth, and Pat Vendrely, who Hey called, A very good utility play- er who also did a good job at the plate, were named ACAC Honorable Mentions, along with sophomore Chris Gibson. Ray Pulver won the ERA tro- phy with a 2.98 average and Chris Gibson also won the stolen bases tro- phy by capturing 11. Also, six players on the team compiled a total of 11 homers with everything from solo homers to a grand slam by Pat Ven- drely. The season ended early with a 1-5 loss to Garrett (ironically repeating the season ' s opening loss) in the first round of sectional play. -Pat Vendrely o ._ f=« Continuously eyeing the pitcher pays off for senior Trace Roth, who hit a double off him.

Of course, the basics are taught, but students also learn skills and attitudes that are valuable in being able to cope with an ever-chang- ing world. Growing intellectually requires some sweat on the student ' s part, however. Homework must be done; tests must be studied for. In the end, a final reward — a diploma, a grade, an education — makes all the late hours and headaches worth it. One important thing learned in school can ' t come from books. Students learn to interact with others in activities that suit their individual interests. Becoming more active can sometimes be a pain. Students must invest their spare time in working with a club when they don ' t have much time to spare. If a student wishes to be involved in more than one activity, scheduling conflicts are a common annoyance. Often, students must make choices between homework and extracurricular activities. However, more often than not, the con- flicts are resolved to a good end. Students find that through clubs they have grown in the ability to work well with others, to utilize their talents, and just spend some enjoyable times with their friends. -Cindy Beck o with the help of 24 years ' teaching experience and a lawnmower engine, Mr. Heller explains basic principles involved in working with small motors to Richard Fitts and Todd Kirkman. be a pain at times.

It ' s just one less thing 1 have to worry about. Although the high school students can choose many of their own classes, most of the junior high classes are re- quired. All 7th graders must take English, math, geography, and phys ed. Mrs. Carol Gross, one of the guidance counselors, said, The state recommends that the students get some exper- ience in everything while in junior high, so that when they get to high school, they know what classes they want to take. Reading, home ec, industrial arts and art are also required for the 7th graders. They do get to select from general music, choir, or band for a class, though. Leo is one of the few schools in the area that require Tourist Language. The reason that all 8th graders must take it is that the students are introduced to both Spanish and German lan- guages. In high school the students then have an easier decision as to which language to take. Besides Tourist Language, 8th graders must take English, math, U.S. History, science, phys ed and health. It is better if classes are chosen for the junior high because they really don ' t know what they want or need, added Mrs. Gross. The 8th graders must choose from home ec, industrial arts, or manufacturing, and they are offered a choice of choir, band, and art if interested. So they do get a few choices. -Eugene Liechty o Mr. Schneider offers advice to a student concentrating on his homeworit assignment.

Not Just f nother Face In order to have been a member of the Jr. High Honor Society a stu- dent had to fulfill cer- tain requirements. One such re- quirement was that each member had to have at least an 8.0 grade point average. An- other requirement neces- sary to be a member was filling out a paper in which the members listed all their activities. In order for a member to have ob- tained a pin, he had to serve at the Senior High Honor Society Banquet. r a© junior high honor society ? I, -. -Michelle Yoder Gathering information with the use of the card catalog, junior high students polish up their library skills. Options Mr. Randy Artherhults, who teaches most of the junior high English classes said, Helping kids make a smooth transition from the elemen- tary to the high school is as important as teach- ing. Since the classes arc required, I try to make them enjoyable and informative as possi- ble. Leo is one of the 3 out of the 18 surrounding schools that has both the junior and senior high in the same building. Although they are housed together, they are kept as separate as possible through careful schedualing. Having an extra class period, the junior high gets more variety in their schedules, getting a taste of everything. This makes their decision in high school easier. All 8th graders take science from Mr. Rich- ard Hartung. I admire the fact that junior high students aren ' t afraid to try, and I like their enthusiasm, he said. It seemed to be the consensus of most junior high students that required classes, like Mr. Hartung ' s science, are all right. There are some exceptions though. I don ' t feel that I should be forced to take Tourist Language. I don ' t like it and will probably never take a foreign language in high school, said Holly Redmon with a tone of resentment in her voice. All the older students that have survived ju- nior high must admit that required classes aren ' t all that bad and that taking them is a good preparation for high school. Mr. Hartung summed it up best when he said, They come into junior high scared, shy, and wide-eyed, but by the time they enter 9th grade, most of them have gained self-confidence and a sense of be- longing. -Eugene Liechty O Students compare findings on an experiment in Mr. Hartung ' s science class.

For instance, the Fresh- men schedule includes SAIL, health, physical education, and some choice of general math, basic algebra, or algebra. They also have to take some sort of science, like physical science or biology. The most recent addition to the Freshman schedule is S.A.I. L., which stands for Stop Abuse in Living. A comment heard by many is that it is a real learning experience, compared to a subject such as math. There are two levels in the sophomore Eng- lish department. These include basic or aca- demic English courses; the academic courses are for college-bound students. The academic courses arc American Literature and Grammar and Composition. Theresa Baily said that she felt that she learned more in one semester of Grammar and Composition than in her whole freshmen year of English. -Julie Snider ■ With the use of a calculator, Sheryl Feathers finds the answer to the Algebra problem.

With Mr. Steve Gabet teaching both courses, the seniors experience many different adventures, such as taking trips for government class to Indianapo- lis to tour the State House, and going to Fort Wayne ' s City-County Building and the court house.

It must be the day to cook again in foods class! This year there has been an in- creased turn-out of the male gender in a class that had traditionally been an elective for girls. Other home economics courses which are seeing more male faces are the clothing and foods classes. All junior high boys are required to experience the adventure of home econom- ics. Although the boys have been exposed to both Foods and Clothing classes, the junior high boys seem more willing to use the needle, al- though a few senior high boys have ventured into the world of sewing machines. The clothing class had a new face the first semester. Miss Rosie Junk, from Indiana State, was a student teacher for Mrs. Manger in both P.E. and Clothing as well as coaching the Re- serve Girls ' Volleyball team. Child Care is a class that consists of all girls and featured several special field trips. At Park- view Hospital the class toured through the birthing room and viewed the nursery. The main focus of the class is to familiarize the students with all aspects of having and raising a child.

Only eight high school girls are enrolled, but all junior high girls are required to take both Woods and Electricity. It is hoped that this requirement might create an interest as well as lessen the pressure of the traditionally female and traditonally male classes.

When asked what the kids enjoy the most about his courses Mr. Stuckey classically re- plied, Their teacher.

Those offered at Leo range from typing to recordkeeping and business law. Mr. Shaw and Mrs. Linson teach all of these courses. Typing class is quite an experience in itself, but last year is was even more of an adventure with a new teacher. Mrs. Linson, a first year teacher right out of Ball State University, re- placed Mrs. Mumma as the typing and short- hand teacher. I am finally on my own. It was a little strange at first, but I ' m getting used to it, replied Mrs. Linson when asked what her big- gest adjustment was in coming to Leo. Mrs. Linson also said that the average typing speed of a beginning student at Leo is 38-42 words per minute. The other half of the business department is under the direction of Mr. Shaw. He is far from being a first year teacher, for he has a unique knack for getting along with his students. Mr. Robert Bud Shaw feels that his rapport is due mainly to the effort and interest his stu- dents show toward the subject. The reason why Mr. Shaw feels so strongly about the business courses he teaches is that the average person uses business every day of his life. He said, Going to the market, buying a car, and other such things are areas in which we all deal with sometime in our lives. Not only is Mr. Shaw a teacher, but outside of his school work, he sells real estate. Mr. Shaw feels that his experiences in the business world allows him to draw on many examples for all his classes. -Eugene Liechty O After writing the instructions on the board for the next problem, Mrs. Linson directs her typing class to wori on the assignment.

How many times have students wanted to be a part of the world of television? TV Production and Mass Media is a class that can give a taste of this life. The students undertake projects ranging from de- signing talkshows, to public service announce- ments and films that students write themselves. The class also helps the students become aware of how the media affects the viewing public. These classes are popular ones which must be kept small in number so that everyone can become actively involved and partake in each hands-on project. One of the main reasons the class is liked so well is the enthusiasm displayed by the teacher, Mr. Randy Artherhults. 1 love it! he replied when asked how about his classes. Until they have been in front of a video camera, students don ' t realize how tough it is to give a good performance. The joy of teaching the class comes when the students work as a team and act professionally in front of, and behind the cameras. I sometimes remind students that working in front of the camera is foreign to everyone. Even Walter Cronkite had to start somewhere. The A.V. department, under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Doyle and Mr. Artherhults, is kept busy making sure that films are delivered to classes, and sent back on time. In the A.V. Club the members are taught how to do such things as running projectors and overheads. This group of students is also taught how to repair minor problems that occur with the equipment. Media workers under the direction of four teachers, Mr. Artherhults, Mrs. Jean Haines, Mrs. Doyle, and Mrs. Rosemary Grose, work both in the library and the A.V. room. If the pupils in the class aren ' t checking out books for fellow students, they can be seen replacing books on shelves, or delivering films. -Eugene Liechty o TV technician Ren Dclagrange strives to catch botli the sound and picture during a videotaping session in TV Pro- duction class.

Paging through them, looking at all the pictures, and reading the interesting articles, not much thought is given to all the time and effort put into one of the publications. Both the newspaper and year- book staffs consist of many industrious people. Not only do all these staff people work long hours during the school year, but they also go to summer camp and attend Journalism Day at Ball State. The Lion ' s Tale is published once a month, and the newspaper staff has to work overtime to meet their deadlines because they can only meet during project period. Mr. Jim Schneider has been adviser of the newspaper for three years and he has achieved his goal of maintain- ing the quality of the Lion ' s Tale. The yearbook staff is also made up of a busy group of people. Every day from 2:10 till the end of school, these people can be seen in room 201, rushing around writing copy and captions, typing, and croping pictures. The yearbook staff also attends summer camp and Journalism Day. Last year these activities paid off for the yearbook staff, because their 1980 Oracle. Its All News To Us, won first place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association an- nual contest.

Because the club got off to a late start, its members were able to compete in only two meets before Section- ads. However, the club ' s future plans include eight secison meets, sectionals, and the hope to continue to the final state meet. The club was composed of mainly academic stu- dents. The sponsors of the club included: Mrs. Gillett, Mrs. Marquardt, Mr. Arth- erhults, and Mrs. Smith.

Communication Plainly Speaking Some of the most important classes to take, in order to live well in society, are those that deal with communications. The communica- tions department at our school ranges from English Literature to Speech, World Literature, cind Grammar and Comp. Four very capable instructors teach English. The ninth graders get their basics in English from Mrs. Gillett and Mrs. Piatt. Mrs. Piatt also teaches English Lit. Mrs. Smith and Mr. Artherhults teach English to those students not on academic schedules, while Mr. Stover has all Speech, and Grammar and Comp. students. Mr. Stover ' s classes arc the most difficult for the average student, but everyone who goes through his courses becomes informed and is definitely ready for college. 1 believe that it is very important for students to become inde- pendent and utimately responsible for their own successes or lack of them; therefore, my main teaching goal is to help students become responsible so that they don ' t have to be told how to do everything, said Mr. Stover. Speech is the class that puts fear in the heart of every student at Leo High School. When a student goes up to give his first speech, he turns red, stammers, and shakes uncontrolla- bly, but by the time the semester is over, every- one in the class can go up and make a presenta- tion to their fellow students without all the symptoms of a beginning speech maker. -Eugene Liechty o Mrs. Smith gives instructions to one of her students in creative writing class.

One of the first events of the club was the Oktoberfest in which the club had a hayride and refreshments to celebrate. Later in the year the mem- bers went to the Hiedel- burg Restaurant for an en- joyable German feast. An- other activity of the club included seeing the Moun- tain Boys in concert. The only requirement of the club was the members had to be enrolled in a German Class. The Spanish Club also had a year filled with ex- citement. One activity of the club was a Christmas party ' in which the mem- bers provided refresh- ments and gifts for young orphans. Other activities of the club included going to see Don Quijote at the Civic Theater and having a German-Spanish party with foods from both areas.

How many of us know and use the real meaning of the word? Most of us have a hard enough time speaking the English language, let alone venturing into the world of the German and Spanish languages. For German students, this year was an excit- ing adventure. They were lucky enough to have an exchange teacher, Manfred Bonn, from the small village of Masterhausen, Germany. When asked how he liked it in America, he said, I am enjoying my stay here, and am learning to make many friends. The way of life in Germany is much the same as it is here. The cost of living is not as high in America, though. For example, one gallon of gas in Germany is about $3.00. Clothes are much cheaper here, too. Mr. Bonn also stated that living in such a large country is strange, and that within a few hours of his home, he could travel to France, Bel- gium, or the Netherlands. It will be sad to see Mr. Bonn go back to Germany in June. He has been a great asset to the foreign language department. -Eugene Liechty o Daniela, an exchange student from Chile, and Theresa Minnick enjoy an American meal during class.

Technology IVewfangled Ciphering Due to the world ' s changing technology, the math curriculum has undergone many changes. The most obvious aspect of this is the introduc- tion of calculators into the classroom. We do things now, with the use of calculators, that we couldn ' t have done five years ago, said Mr. Stcinhauser, the Algebra and Trigonometry teacher. The computers also save work and make class more enjoyable. Mr. Steinhauser ' s math classes aren ' t fun just because of computers. though. He said, 1 try to develop an informal atmosphere by adding a little humor to the dull routine. For example, we (Mr. Tom Stein- hauser) berate women all the time. Computers and calculators are being intro- duced because society is relying more and more on machines to do their computations. Also, for the students willing to work at it, there are a great number of job opportunities open- ing up in the field of computer programming. -Eugene Liechty o Guy Platter tries to get the angles congruent in Mrs. Lebzeiter ' s Geometry class.

TT.2 I ? N Technology Systematic J Explorations « Under the direction of four very competent teachers, the science department helped pre- pare students for life in a highly technological world. Science classes ranged in difficulty from courses as basic as Physical Science to those as advcuiced as Physics. Students could begin their scientific studies with Physical Science, taught by Mr. Noyer. Some of the class ' s requirements were per- forming lab experiments, writing term papers, and giving oral reports. Physical Science was not a prerequisite for any other science courses. If students were college-bound, they tended to go straight into Biology, taught by Mr. Divel- biss. Leaf collections and dissections were some of the hands-on projects that were high- lights of the class. A student interested in anato- my and scientific method could take Advanced Biology, also taught by Mr. D. The biology curriculum was cut to two course offerings after the cancellation of the popular Marine Biology trip to Newfound Harbor Marine Institute in Florida. One of the most popular classes, due to the value in college preparation, was Chemistry. The class, taught by Mrs. Marquardt and Mr. Noyer, involved learning elements, writing for- mulas, doing various lab experiments, and sum- marizing articles from Scl Quest. A group of determined seniors composed the toughest science class offered at Leo. Taught by Mr. Hartung, Physics class served to educate those students planning to enter engi- neering, science, or physics in college. The physics students enjoyed labs such as building toothpick bridges, floating clay boats, and mak- ing homemade ice cream. Labs involving food were one thing all sci- ence classes had in common. Perhaps the avail- ability of bunsen burners made these labs possi- ble. -Cindy Beck ■ mw Judging by the expression on his face, freshman Barry Craig enjoys conducting experiments in Mr. Noyer ' s Plysi- cal Science class. n K SR.

The main change was the new director, Mr. Ray Blombach. He was a student teacher in the music department during 1980, and when Mr. McBane decided to take a sab- batical to further his education, Mr. Blombach took over his position. Along with Mr. Blombach came new songs, and new innovative ideas, such as the pep band for the girls ' basketball team, and new routines for footbcJl season performzinces. The pep band was a real addition to the band program, as this provided an opportunity for kids who weren ' t otherwise participating in a music pro- gram to be a part of a performing group. The band also participated in contest at West Noble High School. They received a second rating. A major aspect of being a band mem- bers is performing at the home football games. Besides the band, the majorettes and the drill squad also perform for these games. To be a majorette one must first be a band member. Another requirement Is to go to a majorette camp in the summer. We have a pretty balanced band, it ' s been an interesting first year, Mr. Blombach stated. -Susie Robblns ■ Many long practices led by director Ray Blombach give the band a great sound that the crowds at football and basketball games love to listen to. While the band plays in the background, the drill squad ■ gives another one of their crowd-pleasing performances to ' the spectators at homecoming. I .

There are three choirs in the Senior High De- partment. The Concert Choir, the Girls ' Glee Club and the Swing Choir are the choirs in the Musical Department. The Swing Choir is the most active group as they perform at many out-of-school activities. They go to nursing homes, private parties, and the State School. They have a varied program which includes a number of different types of music. The group also performs at all of the concerts, spring and winter, including the Spring Festival. All the choirs, except for the Swing Choir, M-mum,.j,. took part in the choral contest at West Noble High School. The Concert Choir received a II rating, and the Girls ' Glee got a 1 rating. For the Spring Concert last year, the format was changed. Along with the usual perfor- mances by the Junior and Senior High Bands and Choirs, the Drama department had a spe- cial presentation. Since last year was the year for a musical, the cast presented a few scenes from the play. Leo is widely known for its excellent music program. There has always been a fine tradition starting with Mr. Flick, and ending up with the talented students. -Susie Robbins ■ I SWING CHOIR, (front row): Trace Roth, Darlene Dela- grange, Eugene Llechty, Jody Hatfield, Guy Platter, Jean- nie Glenn, John Yoder, Dave Baumgartner, Jane Stout, ' John Holderman, Erin Doyle, (back row): Terry Cooper, ■ Dawn Kitzmiller, Jeff Clark, Marlene Delagrange, John Stout, Kathy Hursh, Darrell Graber, Jane Zorger, Tim Doyle, Kim Sellars. choirs, fl ] ' ?

Jl Jr. high band choir 7th, 8th Graders Make Their Own Musie «- Practice makes perfect. This saying has been stated and restated many times. It seems that this age old adage starts at a young age, and it ' s no exception for the Junior High Band and Choir. For seventh graders, band is a new and excit- ing experience because it is the students ' first real taste at participating in a organized band. The Junior High Band participated in the band contest at Churubusco High School. They re- ceived a second rating. It ' s not anything like I expected it to be. It ' s fun to be in band, re- plied a seventh grade band student. The seventh and eighth grade choir is an- other musical experience for Junior Highers. Many kids get involved in music during their Junior High years, replied Mr. Flick the choir director, but in Senior High, the kids in choir are the ones who really want to be involved. The Junior High Choir also went to contest and received a second rating. Leo has had a tradition of excellent music programs. And not unlike the other renowned practices, the bands and choirs start at a young age. Although most musicians hate to hear it, practice docs make perfect! -Susie Robbins ■ JR.

Rnc Arts Creative Outlets For many students looking for a way to ex- press themselves, the Art Department provides the perfect solution. Classes range from begin- ning design like Art 1, 2, to Photography, and Advanced Design where art majors spend a semester working more intensely in just one area. Students in Art this year learned Right Brain drawing, patterned after the popular book with the same title. While many of those who take art classes are seriously interested in the field, there are many others who take art mainly because, It ' s fun! This attitude probably stems from the two in- structors, Mr. Mike Bearman and Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook. Both feel that learning should be fun, and that school doesn ' t have to be boring or a dreary place to be. Radios hum with the latest rock tunes and gaily designed kites hang from the ceiling in Mr. Bearman ' s room. Besides the school art show (see p. 26-7), several students entered the Scholastic Art Awards and the St. Francis College Art Exhibit. Senior Sarah McNair won first place in the Indiana Women ' s Club district contest with her charcoal portrait. -Susie Robbins ■ [Hp %m wielding a needle tool, Todd Kirkman puts the finishing touches on a bowl he has just thrown on the electric pot- ter ' s wheel.

M he most visible of all growing pains are those taking place in the community. Construction can be seen everywhere, as new homes and businesses pop up in areas previously covered with crops. Miles of trenches web through the countryside, serving as final resting places for the new sewer lines connecting Leo with Fort Wayne. The schools of the community are expanding to meet the de- mands of the rapidly enlarging population within their districts, also. All this growth is not without its up- ands-downs, however. The areas being built up mean that some nature is forfeit- ed. The trenches aren ' t all that bad, ex- cept that they cut through some resi- dents ' front and back yards and drive- ways. As a community gro ws larger, it tends to grow more impersonal, too. People no longer recognize everyone in the home stands of a basketball game or in the check-out lanes of the local grocery store. The benefits that a larger community receives, such as better roads, a wider variety of businesses close at hand, and bigger and better schools, compensate for the pains that growing causes. The changes aren ' t easy to make at first, but everyone has to learn to walk before he can run, and we ' re fast learners. -Cindy Beck o Grablll Days, with its country fair atmosphere, great food, and parade, and crafts, is always a big area attraction.

' Mary. Mary, quite contrary, how does your yearbook grow? Answer: Bigguh an ' bigguh! (Sorry. Col. Savedgc) The 1980S1 Oracle staff was the biggest crop she had ever raised. Two young upstarts. Joyce Beerbower and Cindy Beck. assisted her in farming out work to the staff. Although neither had had any yearbook exper- ience, they weren ' t afraid to get their hands dirty and soon bloomed into cultivated co-edi- tors. The rest of the staff was planted into sections to assure maximum productivity. One of the first sections to be picked was Student Life. Doug Lovett. Jeannie Glenn, and Robbie Roberts composed this crew, which toiled each season to put out a vintage crop. Another group to turn in an excellent harvest was the People section. Dave Carnahan, Todd Delagrange. and Laurie Johnston. who didn ' t all have class the same hour, sacri- ficed some project periods to reap their section early. One comment about the Sports gang is that they grow on you. Scott Hattery, Rod Sinn, and Matt Rat Grieger, with his earthy humor, composed one of the liveliest, unpredict- able clusters ever seen in yearbook class. The Academics people, Eugene Liechty. a second semester seedling who joined Susie Robbins and Bruce Roth, were hybrids in their own right. Together they labored strenuously to give the section a new and more graphically interesting look. Two workers who proved to be outstanding in their fields were Theresa Bailey, second se- mester recruit, and Tony Hechler, Ads peo- ple. Using Letraset. artwork and loads of imagi- nation, they managed to transform barren pages into things of beauty. While speaking of hired hands, those of Kim Reasoner, typist, can ' t be ignored. Kim let her fingers do the talking during her fifth period study hall, lending a vital service. Budding artist Chris Wittwer also used his free time and talent to the yearbook ' s advan- tage. Chris created the logos in the corners of the sports pages, as well as a full-page cartoon for the sports feature. Three persons who may have felt as if they were being continuously transplanted from sec- tion to section were Lisa Antil. Pam Working. and Scott Harris. These Clubs people worked hand-in-hand with the other sections since clubs were sown throughout the book. A late bloomer. Julie Snider dug in with the Academics section after the class began. The roots of yearbooking look hold quickly in Julie ' s fertile mind and she was a welcome addition to the staff. Elizabeth Carpenter ' s chore was to over- see the fruits of the staff ' s labors, managing the monetary harvest, not an easy task. This staff, watered with a deluge of Diet Pepsi, manage to flourish, coping with furrowed brows and late mghters No one promised them a rose garden, but they got one complete with thorns Carefully weeding, though, they harvested a bountiful yield - ORACLE ' 81, Antil, Working, Harris Snider is: ' _ _ . . 1 k Carpenter colophon yearbook staff colophon: CO-EDITORS Cindy Beck Joyce Beerbower STUDENT UFE Jeanne Glenn Doug Levett Robbie Roberts PEOPLE Laurie Johnston David Carnahan Todd Delagrange SPORTS s Matt Grieger Rod Sinn Scott Battery ACADEMICS Susie Bobbins Brace Roth Eugene Liechty Julie Snider COMMUNITY Tony Hechler Theresa Bailey BUSINESS MANAGER Elizabeth Carpenter TYPIST Kim Reasoner STAFF ARTISTS Tony Hechler Chris Wittwer PHOTOGRAPHERS Cindy Beck Michael Day David Dilley Jeff Handlln ADVISER Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook CONTRIBUTORS: Mary Brinkman, Randy Cleven, Rita Kaiser, Photography Adv.

GROWING GROWING Growing. Pains. We ' ve seen them both. Looking back on the year in retro- spect, we can see that it has been one filled with changes, both good and not-so-good. In just nine months, the con- struction has mushroomed considerably, germanating enthusiasm about the expansion. The accompa- nying mess, which original- ly met with groans amd gri- maces, is now seen as neces sary and is tolerat- ed in view of the final product, a new school. Friendships, planted in the warmth of late summer days, have flourished and blos- somed into hardy relation- ships. However, as some of us seek to branch out into the world, it seems as if the com- raderie we share is plowed under. It ' s still there, waiting to sprout up in a new place.
