Leo High School - Oracle Yearbook (Leo, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 204 of the 1983 volume:

Like all movies, plays and bool s, this saga of LHS began witti an idea. True, the bool s of previous years were there to guide us and tell us what to do and what not to do, but this was to be a book different than any other that had come before. All the ingredients for a new and unique book were available. There was a new advisor, a new publications room, and an almost new staff. Out of 31 staffers only 10 had ever worked on the ORACLE before. Talk about opportunity knocking! In the course of two high school semesters, 192 pages were produced. Even while trying to be different, to boldly go where no book had gone before, we had the problems and successes of any book. Missing photos, copy that had to be rewritten six times and the constant pressure of deadlines were always there. So were the joy of a job well done, the happiness of a birthday celebrated in class, and the knowledge that we were the ones that would tell the tale of our school — in our own unique way. We were the ORACLE of 1983 but we were also the book that was different and the book that would hopefully be well received, well liked and well read. We were a book that traveled east on a north south highway, the book with its own . . .

There was even enough roonn to land a helicopter in the north parking lot. Once there we could enter at the east lobby, the main office, or from the south, north, east, or northwest doors. Inside we found hallways that met at four-way junctions, three-way junctions, or two-way intersections. There were some double doors, many single doors, some with verticle windows and a few with nothing. The walls were red, red-orange, orange, orange-yellow, yellow, yellow-green, blue, blue-violet, violet, violet-blue . . . Believe it, they go on and on. photo by Jeff Handii A DIFFERENT FASHION.

They were the different types of people from the altogether different Leo Jr. Sr. School. This was the common ground which linked them all together, binding them into strong friendships.

Some had never been there before. A select few went to Florida every break that was longer than four days. Several scooted up to Michigan for a long ski weekend. One group of students made blue jeans and concert jerseys the biggest thing since home video. Some were content with their Cheenos and small animals on their sweaters. Many found themselves frying hamburgers and washing dishes. There were those who stocked shelves at the mall. Some were not fortunate enough to find a job, others were lucky that they didn ' t need one. Studious people cracked the books hours on end. Some were carefree enough to spend a lot of leisure time at ballgames and in the Stock Exchange. Each student had his own rules to live by. Each one with his own . . . DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE -7- lifestyles division A Decade Of Dedicated Delight How did you spend your tenth birthday? Probably nothing like the Grabill Country Fair ' s 10th birthday was spent. After ten years, the little town of Grabill is growing because of its country fair. The Grabill Country Fair started on Thursday, Septennber 9th at 10:00 A.M. Most of those attending the fair during the day were senior citizens, but by 3:30 P.M. many teens had come to join in the festivi- ties. During late afternoon and into the night various spiritual singing groups performed. Several groups from Leo High School were joined by out-of-town gospel singers. On Friday the teachers were bombed with pleas of mercy for no homework, because this was the weekend of the Grabill Fair. Most of the teachers gave in, as they too, wanted to attend the fair and under- stood how the students felt. On Saturday morning some of the students sacrificed sleeping-in to participate in the parade. The Leo band, smothering in their uniforms, led in the parade by the drill squad and rifle corps. Bands from both Woodlan and Churubusco also par- ticipated in the parade. The festivi- ties were quite a show with all the clowns, floats, antique cars and politicians from all over the state. Walking up and down the streets a person could see all the different crafts and jewelry as well as smell the delicious food. As the popular Grabill Country Fair came to an end, groups of teens joined other groups in the street to reminisce about the good times of the past two days. Every- one looked forward to the next Gra- bill Country Fair, confident it would be bigger and better and another successful year. — Krista Bute -8- grabill days lifestyles Proudly marching in the Auburn Days Pa- rade, the band members displayed an im- pressive amount of talent.

Thinl ing that it was too early to call it a night, the answer to most people ' s quest for entertainment was dances. Last year the regular dances were held, along with, for the first time, a dance called the t orp. Morp was prom backwards with all of the trim- mings, complete with weed cor- sages, girls treating the guys, and matching T-shirts. Some corsages were dried flowers bought at a flow- er shop; others were (carefully?) picked out of backyards. Couples ate at McDonald ' s, Pizza Hut, or Burger King. Because of this, there was no real worry about what to order or the prices. For once, the guys got to be taken out for dinner. Instead of spending six months ' allowance on a formal dress and tuxedo, almost all of the couples wore matching T-shirts. Half-way through the Morp, the Morp court was announced, with the members receiving yellow construction paper crowns. The people who received the honors were: Clumsiest: Doug Dilley and Lisa An- til. Most Likely To Win Indy 500: Chris Kelley and Theresa Bailey, Biggest Whiner: Chris Gibson and Susie Haines, Most Hilarious Laugh: Jeff Handlin and Tammy Liechty, Biggest Brown Noser: Chad Watson and Susie Robbins, Most Likely To Be On The Cover Of GO Magazine: Todd Fuzy, Most Likely to be on Mademoiselle: Julie Snyder, Person Who Grubs The Most: An- drea Stucky, Biggest Troublemaker: George Gee and Sandy Scudder, Best Smile: Pete Garrison and Tricia Tappy Best Couple: Jim Collins and Kim Heidrich Lasting until the midnight hour, the Morp provided an evening ' s worth of entertainment. Although the Morp was a high school-only event, a large crowd arrived. Dances were, in most people ' s eyes, an inexpensive and fun way to spend time after a game. But one dance held during the year was dif- ferent than all the rest. Many of us will remember our first Morp be- cause, for once, we did switch roles and become one of them. — Jessica Brandt A group of sophomores in the East Com- mons anticipated the opening of the doors at the first Morp. Atter the dance, Pete Garrison had his door held open for him by his escort, Susie Rob- bins. -11- morp lifestyles Totally Fad — Totally Groady to the max Like gag me with a spoon! Thes e were just two of the phrases that were used during the year. As usual, fads and fashions came into style and be- came popular. Among the things that changed the most were phrases and words that were commonly used. Clothing styles also changed from season to season. Throughout the year several dif- ferent phrases became well-known and well-used. Walking down the hall at any given time, one heard totally awesome (highly praising), to the max (all the way), or I ' m so sure! (showing extreme disap- proval). No doubt was used to show total agreement, while mega expressed a great amount. Not only did phrases become popular, but certain activities also became widespread. At midnight on weekends, The Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show, — the more times the better.

Wayne to please the crowds. Clothes were also always going in and out of style. On the clothes scene, varied fashions were worn. One saw straight legs, baggies and pinstriped jeans. Polo shirts, ox- fords, and Izods were still making fashion headlines, along with mini- skirts, legwarmers, and short hair. For the guys tuxedo shirts with bow ties were all the rage. But of course guys wore the accepted T-shirts and jeans that had always been in style. In all fashion areas; popular ex- pressions, activities and clothes, each person reflected his personal preferences and showed that with- out a doubt do your own thing was the most popular attitude. — Jessica Brandt ' photo by Jeff Handlin -12- fashions lifestyles Dressed for a special occasion, Reann Panclnev and Beth Witte show off the newest fashion — ruffled shirts and bag- gie pants Wearing faded jeans combined with a prairie top to dress up the outfit, Lauri Swartz, mixes hot chocolate at the honor roll breakfast.

Christ- mas was Bing wandering down the small roads of a country village, singing his songs and shaking hands with every one he met. Bing, Andy Williams, and John Davidson all por- trayed the American small town Christmas as a way in the life of quaintness. In the Leo Grabill area Christ- mas was sometimes quaint, some- times realistic, always comforting. There was no snow last year but in Grabill there were decorations. Besides the usual tinsel and plastic candles on lamp posts, the Grabill Chamber of Commerce asked three of the local high schools to provide students to paint windows. Leo ' s new Art Club sent its members to cover the glass with colorful Christ- mas scenes. The scenes not only gave the town an atmosphere of Christmas but helped the Grabill Chamber of Commerce attract holi- day shoppers as well. In Leo there were no colorful win- dows, but the atmosphere was defi- nitely Christmas. The people had no snow and no light posts to put tinsel on, but they had the feeling of Christmas. Who needed Bing? At LHS many classes had trees. They were small, some were artifi- cial, but all were decorated and all were appreciated by students counting the days ' till break. The school council also spent its Christ- mas time collecting cans and money for the needy in the area. The atmosphere was there, the photo by Tjm Glenn On Christmas Day, Souders of Grabill sits barren of customers and barren of snow. At the Christinas concert, Terri Burns of the Concert Choir delivers the solo part of Holly and the Ivy. feeling of Christmas was there and the shopping was there. If you did not want to shop in the area, one could go to the mall and walk that area with friends and family, search- ing for that special gift; a gift that many times couldn ' t be found and if it was there it was usually out of one ' s price range. Realism appeared to be the over- riding truth in an economy torn small town. Life went on and at Christmas people forgave and for- got, they relearned to love, survive, and feel good. Bing, Andy and John couldn ' t do better. — Randy Mishler photo by Debbie Denton Getting ready for the upcoming Christmas Holidays Ben Funnel puts the finishing touch- es on the Christmas painting featured on the windows of the Grabill Bank. -14- Christmas lifestyles -15- Christmas lifestyles Red Hot Monday.

The presentation of the sl its which were centered around this year ' s theme, The Eye of the Lion, and class gifts were only two events which helped raise enthusiasm. Hot chocolate and cookies brought a perfect end to the night. Also aimed at raising school spirit to an all-time high was a pep ses- sion Friday during project period. The football players, cheerleaders, band, drill squad, and students all helped everyone to get fired up for the game. The cool temperature and slight breeze combined for perfect weath- er for football, and students showed their support by filling the stands. Everyone helped to back the team by voicing his support. At the end of the second quarter eyes focused on the center field to once again experience the tradition- al homecoming halftime activities. Everyone watched as the ceremo- nies closed with Tricia Tappy being crowned Homecoming Queen. The time on the clock diminised so that only one quarter remained. Although the Lions played a close game and students helped back the team, the game ended up with a victory for the Lakeland Lakers 32 to 20. To help relieve the pain of losing, students rushed to pick up their yearbooks. The night ended with ev- eryone talking with old friends and going to the homecoming dance. Friday. Most students love the word. Friday means a whole week- end to rest, relax, and have fun with friends. However, the first week in October ended with a different kind of Friday.

The recon- struction was to cost approxinnately $17,200,000. The new facilities, completed in the fall of 1982, in- cluded athletic roonns, another gym- nasiunn, a new auditeria plus nunner- ous other things such as new books, a new senior parking lot, instru- ments, pianos and computers. The renovation included everyth- ing from new desks to new rooms. It ' s nice to have all new rooms for the teams to practice in. It cre- ates a good atmosphere for the coaches, stated Mr. Hal Piatt, ath- letic director. After taking two years to plan the school and having jack ham- mers creating monotonous noise and dust, once the school was done it was rewarding to be able to walk down the halls and see the students attitudes toward the school. It ' s really nice to have one of the best schools in the state of Indiana, ad- ded Dr. Herbert Stueipe, principal. It ' s really nice having the gym to yourself instead of sharing it with another class, added Julie Manger, Physical Education teacher. Not only did we get new equip- ment, but we also got five new teachers: Mr. William Bollier, who teaches science and alternative classes; Mr. Kevin Drew, director of photo by Jim McKinley instrumental music; Miss Catherine Pochodzay, instructing language arts and journalism; Mrs. Catherine Seidel, who teaches 8th grade mathmatics and Don Steward in in- dustrial arts. Everyone thought of Leo as just another school out in the middle of nowhere. stated Pete Roth. But, after the addition of new facilities, they saw it as a more modern place for learning.

However, last year was differ- ent. With record-breaking warm temperatures and only fog days, February turned out to be a surpris- ing month. Along with February came Valen- tine ' s Day and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. But this was the 80 ' s and Equal Rights gave the girls en- couragement to keep up the tradi- tion and ask guys to the dance. Mu- sic was provided by Sonic Sight and Sound which helped produce that special mood. Writing poetry and sending notes to that special person were some- times inappropriate so Student Council solved the problem by sell- ing carnations with messages print- ed by the sender. There were three colors to choose from: white for friendship, red for passion, and pink for somewhere in between. The flowers were delivered every period to the person. Valentines day has always been a day of expressing emotions, and last year it was not just a day for love. For some girls and guys, it was just a day of sweet memories. — Diane Grabowski Alter receiving Iheir carnations, Chris While Lisa Swartz pins her coursage on, Lowden and Flavia Herran await ttie end of Michelle Delagrange awaits help in putting Valentine ' s Day in the East Commons. hers on.

What is unusual and at the same time normal? What is fun and at the same time frustrat- ing? The answer to all these ques- tions can be answered with three simple words; foreign exchange stu- dents. Being a foreign exchange stu- dent involves many adjustments for your normal way of living. One of the biggest is attending school. The dif- ferences between Leo and the school in West Germany, where I previously attended, are so numer- ous one could talk for twenty min- utes. The first and probably biggest reason is the hours spent in school. There are fifteen or twenty minute breaks between classes and school ends at the early hour of 1:30 or 2:30. Everything is a little bit stricter here in Leo. Things are a bit differ- ent in West Germany. If you are in 11th, 12th, or 13th grade you can leave the school building between classes to get something to eat or drink. You can go to the closest ar- cade or you can just go home. Another difference I noticed was there are no lockers in West Ger- many. Also, in Germany kids sit at one table because our tables are bigger. So the kids are closer to- gether and the result is that it ' s a lot easier to cheat than in America. The thing I like most about Leo is the activities which take place after school and in the evenings. I always enjoy going to football and basket- ball games and going together with friends after the game. In Germany, every kid has two hours of sports each week, that ' s all. We more or less only go to school to learn some- thing. Being an exchange student has many advantages along with the disadvantages. It is a very good ex- perience and creates memories to be thought of for many years to come.

Hey, did you hear what I heard photos by Jim McKintey Contrary to popular belief, Mon- days were indeed good for sonne- thing other tfian oversleeping and making up excuses why your home- work wasn ' t done. Mondays pr o- vided a chance to hear it down the grapevine and dig up the dirt. What was an innocent date be- tween Jack and Jill on Friday night made the steamiest soap opera look like Walt Disney by noon on Friday. Through class notes passed during class or in the halls and whis- pered tidbits, the ordinary soon made the Watergate scandel look like a misdemeanor. Just exactly why did people gos- sip? Jealously, (How in the world did she get him!). Revenge, (Did you hear so-and-so got caught doing such-and-such? ). Human nature ( well, I heard . . . ). Mind you, gossip was not always harmless human nature. For in- stance, we sometimes got caught passing notes by the teacher. That was embarrassing. Also, we might have gotten someone with a bad temper and a penchant for ven- gence very angry with us. That was painful. Everyone from our ministers to our mothers warned us to avoid gossip. Your question is probably How? Well, we could become hermits or we could wear earplugs, but neither of those was very practi- cal. A zipper across the lips wouldn ' t work very well either. So what did work? The answer was not easily found. Maybe the most logical answer was to take it for what It was worth. — Beth Gottfried -24- gossip lifestyles Trying to forget the weather and homework the seventh and eighth graders enjoy their pizza party.

Everyone grew tense as they watched. One moment everyone would be so quiet you could hear a pin drop and the next moment the tranquility would be broken with screams and shouts. Each class seemed bound together as a unit, pushing forward with the same purpose in mind. Then the in- tensity was broken by a shout of victory and a cry of defeat. The sen- iors had won the first major event, volleyball, but the other classes were more than willing to fight. Ev- eryone was ready for an exciting class tourney. Bright displays of each classe ' s spirit gave the gym ' s ordinary pur- ple an extra flair. Each person had worked hard and all wore their class colors proudly; purple for the sen- W iors, red for the juniors, light blue for the sophomores, and green for the freshmen. Major events such as volleyball and basketball were separated by smaller competitions. The egg toss, handwalking, obstacle couse, arm wrestling, and shuttle run were short lived but were enjoyed just as much as the larger events. The tug-of-war was the event In which classes could combine their spirit, weight, and teamwork to pull off a victory. Sophomores used this strategy to win. In the end the seniors came out on top with an overall score of one hundred and sixteen points, sopho- mores followed with one hundred points, juniors with twenty-six, and freshmen with twenty-five points. h photos by Jeff Handlm Trying not to lose a second, Jeff Smead Pulling with all tfieir migfit to gam needed junnps over the vault and heads toward the points, the freshman and sophomores heave- finish line. ho during the tug-of-war.

Later that night, participants and spirited on-lookers of class tourney thought back on the evening ' s ac- tivities. The sophomores smiled as they remembered winning the Tug- of-War. Juniors enjoyed the mem- ory of their victories. The freshmen looked back at their wins of the evening with no regrets.

The term paper, which had taken four trips to the library and nunnerous hours to finish, was typed. The last verse to the song was memorized. The finishing touches were all done on the art projects. The countless hours of work and determination which had been put into assignments and pro- jects throughout the year were now recognized as the students received their awards. Attention was focused on those who would receive the award for most outstanding student or who would capture the most im- proved students ' certificate in each class. To honor students who had achieved at a special level or who had worked hard throughout the year, certificates along with ribbons Art exhibits which had taken hours of hard work decorate the east lobby for display.

The satisfaction of wearing the awards made those long hours of studying and the events which had been missed be- cause of an important test seem worth the effort. The regular fifty-five minute classes were reduced to forty-five minutes to allow extra time for the awards assembly which began at 1:45. Students were asked to stand and be recognized for the different awards they had received. Then let- ters which had been earned in dif- ferent areas such as band, choir, and drama were presented. The last part of the assembly was devoted to scholarships and naming the seniors who had been chosen the most out- standing in the various depart- ments. The awards assembly brought the school year to an end for the seniors. Long hours of practice and hard work which had been used to per- fect a piece of music all began to pay off as the auditeria filled to hear the spring concert. The music de- partment presented a two and a half hour concert which started with the junior high choir and ended with all voices combined in the singing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The concert was ended wi th a standing ovation which helped to drown out the thought of those early morning practices and the sacrifices which went into the preparation of the concert. Art classes displayed their work in the east commons. Paintings and drawings which had taken hours to put on the last details were finally subjected to public admiration — and criticism. With the sun shining brighter, the warmer weather, and the month of May in full swing, being praised for a job well done make the vacation soon to come all that much more special because it had been earned. — Karen Pfister -31- rewards lifestyles ' Just You and I ' Muffled voices and feet at work could be heard from the hall. The soft mellow notes from the stereo system broke the early morning still- ness. Finally the last candle was placed in its glass holder and the last yellow rose had been laid to rest on the table. The stage was set. Saturday May 7th was trans- formed into a whirlwind of events. The list of things needed to be done before five o ' clock was endless, there were restaurant reservations to be made, cars to be washed, beauticians to be seen, florists to be visited and the last minute confirma- tions of after-prom plans. Hours passed quickly as great pains were taken to make sure everything was perfect. Last minute changes were made before the flash of the camera captured the moment. All eyes focused on the dress which had taken endless hours to find at the mall and the tux which had been received despite several mix-ups. Fast foods and McDon- ald ' s were substituted by shrimp, steak, and leisurely dining at the Moonraker, Hall ' s Factory, the Wharf, and other elegant restau- rants in Fort Wayne. The large white pillars which lined the front of the Ramada Inn en- hanced the effect of the spiral stair- case and chandelier as couples en- tered the lobby. The mood switched as they emerged into the candle-lit ballroom. These students eagerly await their turn for having pictures taken that capture the spirit of the prom.

Hours passed quickly as couples sampled the food buffet and talked with friends. The dance floor was filled with couples dancing to the beat of the songs. At nine o ' clock attention was turned to the junior class president, Tim Stoller, who an- nounced the prom court. The court danced to the theme song of the prom, Just You and I. As the clocks struck 1 1:00, after-prom be- came the most important issue. First going home to shed their for- mal attire and slip into jeans and a polo shirt, then off to join friends once again. Energy was endless as the night turned into morning. After breakfast, everyone made his way home through the sunshine. The stage had been set through weeks of planning. The production was the height of everyone ' s year, and with the falling curtain came the close of another highlight of our year at LHS. — Karen Pfister -35- prom lifestyles Five more days, forty more hours, two thousand four hundred more minutes, the count down progresses as Brian Leichty finished his English assignment.

When students were at school, the only way to es- cape boredom was to daydream. As the end of the school year ap- proached, the vacant stares and lost thoughts of students in classes increased. It seemed as though ev- eryone had fallen into the same rou- tine — homework, school, and breaks only for weekends. Boredom struck not only at school, but students were frequently bored at home as well. To escape boredom one could do various -36- last days life styles things. Michelle Kies ' cure for bore- dom was to watch MTV or play with my dog and cat. Other activi- ties could be expensive, as Mike McCullers replied, I think of ways to spend money and waste gas. Some students did things that were productive, such as catching up on housework or doing home- work. These activities did take up time, but to some people even this was boring. Most students ate, watched TV, or read. One could listen to the ste- reo or catch up on lost sleep. Me- lanie Brandt talks on the phone to my friends. As the saying goes, time flies when you ' re having fun, however. time stands still when one is bored. This made clocks an all important part of the school day. Since there was only one snow day last year, many students thought the year seemed much longer than usual. It seemed like the homework was endless and Friday would never arrive. Some people tried to break up the monotony by making the daily announcements more interesting, while others took a different approach by greeting the students with the odor of skunk oil, which penetrated the air for days. . . . x=2, is the dreamy reply.

Com- puters were used in classrooms to help explain a problem and they also effected the way students shopped for clothes or put their sav- ings in the bank. Snow, an element which had just one year ago caused so much de- struction ceased to fall in our area. The thought of facing the deep snow and cold temperatures sound- ed great to students who were ex- pected to be in school. Except for two bad weather days, buses and classes started on time. Medical advances were also made. New medicines and tech- niques were perfected. Barney Clark became the first man in histo- ry to successfully undergo an artifi- cial heart transplant. Achievements and awards were earned. The News Sentinel was awarded the Pulitzer prize for their top notch coverage of the flood of 1982 which had affected the lives of many in the Fort Wayne area. Fort Wayne was also recognized as an all American City which helped ease the let down after Harvester closed its doors to the city.

Friday morning had been devoted to practicing the ceremony so that everything would flow smoothly. The seniors were first served a breakfast of donuts and milk. Then they proceeded to the gym to go through the exercise three times. Most arriving an hour before the special time, seniors spent the extra time smiling for pictures and talking to friends. The last time together held many mixed emotions; howev- er, the pain of leaving everyone was eased by the thought of those let- ters and long distance phone calls that would be made. Silence filled the gym as Bruce Weber stepped forward to give the invocation, and everything re- mained still as co-salutatorian Lori Yoder gave her speech. Then the voices of the senior choir blended together in The Hands of Time. Marcy Dwinell, co-salutatorian, and valedictorian Bob Wright presented their speeches.

Smiles were flashed and the gym was lit with the flashes from cameras of proud parents trying to capture every moment.

One by one the school emptied out as each went his separate way to celebrate the occasion. There were questions to be an- swered such as what now, but all problems seemed small as the new graduates laughed and recalled all their good and bad times in school.

Many had dark hair and of course many had light. There were students who wore the latest in oxfords, sweaters, and slacks, yet there also were those who were content with their Levis and battle fatigues. In this school the people were different from all other schools. Many spent time being concerned about our country cousin image, while some felt that our new building would dispell that image. This building was where everyone was from 8:00 till 3:10, but when the final bell rang all of us departed and went our own ways. Some had a sport practice, others play practice. Many went to their part-time jobs, and a few faithful students went home and did their homework. Every person was an individual. Some had glasses, some had contacts, and even a few had 20 20 vision. Some relaxed in the backyard, and still others could only relax hunched over a typewriter writing that great American novel. A few certain people relaxed with their feet propped up watching their favorite television program with one hand full of Double Stuff Oreo Cookies and the other holding a tall cool glass of Pepsi.

Money is a big problem, and it is hard to come by. Not only is money a problem for adults, but it is hitting the young as well. However, where there ' s a will, there ' s a way, and the 7th graders at Leo High School are proof. Most of the 7th graders get an allowance. Whether it is just given or is earned, an allowance comes in handy. However, some are not so fortu- nate to get an allowance but they have other ways of earning money. Most of the kids say either mom or dad give them money when they need it. One method of earning money is babysitting. Babysitting can be fun or a lot of work. David Delagrange babysits for my parents ' friend ' s children, while some of the other 7th graders babysit for their broth- ers or sisters. Likewise jobs seem to be very im- portant, cleaning the house, mow- ing the lawn, shoveling snow, and raking leaves seem to be most pop- ular but there are some real odd jobs too. For instance, Brian Geiser catches lightning bugs in the sum- mer. Butch Schwaben and Heather Vendrely keeps score for a basket- ball league. Money is hard to come by, espe- cially in these modern times. But as the 7th graders have shown, if one is willing to work, he ' ll have enough money to foot the bill. — Diane Grabowski -48- people 7th graders p !l 1% i . 1 J-- J il A { Roger Amos Krlsti Anderson Greg Bauer Brad Bauman Benjie Blauvelt Shane Blotkamp William Britton Shelly Brock Robert Brouse Laura Brown Terri Bryan Dain Bufe Shana Burns Ronda Caswell Ellen Chou Randy Cole Angela Collins Rachel Cook Ernest Cramer Michael Crick Sean Crimmins Neal Cunningham Stephen Davis David Delagrange Mitchell Delagrange Stephanie Diemer Kent Doctor Joey Douglas Danielle Duch Joseph Dye James Earl Michelle Egli Marvin Fisher Stephanie Fisher Charlene Foutz Richard Foutz Krista Gary Samuel Gordon Brian Grieser Daniel Gutknecht Amy Handerson Ruby Hare Darren Harter Angela Hartman Lori Heare Julie Hetrick Patrick Hill Brian Hoar Alison Horner Wesley Huber Tina Hunter Heather Huntington Eric Indermuhle Dan Irvin Generosa Jones Jeffery Jones Alison Keller Stephanie Kiefer Cynthia Kissner Jason Kits Charlene Knepp Joseph Knight Traci Knoblauch -49- 7th grade people A Touch Of Freedom As opposed to the year before, 7th graders had a lot more freedom and time to do what they wanted.

Ever since we tied our first shoelace, we knew things weren ' t going to get easier. First it was kin- dergarten and the thought was Wow, this is neat. As time went on, everyone went through first grade and on to sixth. Then came the radical change. Ju- nior High School — the first BIG step towards a future. During our junior high years, our friends and our personalities were established. However, we still weren ' t at the top. When most of us thought of high school, the thought was of dates, parties, and occasionally the idea of homework entered our minds. How- ever, to the students of LHS, there was a different advantage, project period. Junior high, for the last few years, has had a project period for an approximate time of ten minutes between second and third period. Last year was different. The fresh- men class got to experience a pro- ject period at the end of the day which lasted for a half hour. This change made a lot of difference.

Some- where, not as far away as you might wish, someone screams. You shiver in your seat . . . Remember, you remind yourself it ' s just a movie. Horror movies became the mod- ern mans escape from unemploy- ment, natural disaster, and the threat of nuclear wars. Why should we have worried about a cold imper- sonal bomb killing us when it was so much mor e fun to imagine Dracula slowly sucking life from us. The sophomores felt as if the movies were necessary. These stu- dents loved to go to films like HAL- LOWEEN. FRIDAY THE 13th, and PROM NIGHT because they loved to be scared, loved the suspense of not being scared, and loved to tell all the gory details to their friends. To some students the movies were an addictive way to escape reality. They went back to the same films time and time again . . . and always walked away shaking a little. It wasn ' t uncommon to walk past a talk at lunch and hear, I saw CREEPSHOW seven times and loved it every time. For theatres and movie producers horror films were a source of in- come. Almost any film with homici- dal teenybopper slashings held some morbid attraction for people and that meant bucks at the box office. Producers like Roger Cormon made their name and their money from horror films designed for big bucks, profit, and made for a low cost. While some sophomores were scared of the films, claiming that they were unethical, students still flocked to the films and will continue to go ... until the GRIM REAPER strikes, for the last time. — Randy Mishler — Jeni Sauder — Michelle VIot A J -60- people sophomores Terry Doyle Mike Dwyer Paula Frost Denise Galuoppo Brad Garretson Tina Gee Craig Good Poltergeist is one of the more popular movies this year Many students from LHS flock to the theaters to see the mov- ie Jenny Sauder and Patty Roy are two of the many Both agree that this movie could put the chill of fear into any avid movie goer.

What did these famous movies have n common? Monsters. Making a monster was not an easy job, but it was a fun one. Whether it was animation or a person in disguise, monster making was hard work. The most difficult form of monster making was animation. The most common being stop-motion photography. This type of ani- mation involved taking a model and moving it bit by bit, then photographing it frame by frame. This time-consuming technique made the model appear to move and bring it to life. Human monsters were probably the most common and practical type of monsters. In the movie Frankenstien, Boris Karloff had to sit st for six hours straight, while make-up artist, Jack P. Pierce, made him into the ugly, big monster.

Believe it or not, that was the first introduc- tion to the juniors ' education: read- ing. Ever since we were children, reading had been the most influen- tial leaf on our tree of knowledge. Remember reading those educa- tional books. Green Eggs and Ham, and A Charlie Brown Christmas? Those books were the major step toward broadening our horizons or plain and simple; building our vo- cabulary. Somehow we managed to move up to higher things in life, such literary classics as the Nancy Drew mystery stories and The Teenage Guide to Popularity. These books helped to increase our mind span. Fortunately there was a variety of books from which to choose: books on cooking, knitting, sewing, eating, dieting, and Chinese clay pottery. There were books on all kinds of sports, everything from basketball to l ung fu. Finally, there were books of science fiction, love stories, his- torical novels and horror stories.

But the sad fact was that many of us would rath- er not have read. However, there are two sides to every story, as the juniors at LHS proved about interest in reading. The majority of juniors liked to read. Why? Because it is an effective method of learning and entertain- ment at the same time, one junior stated. Shelly Craig liked to read because it lets you escape from reality. Reasons for not liking to read were various. Because it was time consuming or because it was boring were two of the most common. The favorite kinds of books to read were romances, rock-n-roll biographies, adventures, horror stories, and comedies. Many statistics showed that America was becoming more illiter- ate. They also showed that every- one needed to read more. Many of us watched TV constantly and raid- ed the refrigerator. Perhaps we should have curled up in a chair and grabbed a book. It would have saved money and calories. — Diane Grabowski Debbie Moreau Cynthia Morris Kristine Mosier Julie Moss Phil Neuhouser Karen Newberg Susan Newport -66- juniors people The Typical Senior?

That was exactly what all Mr. Divelbiss ' s animals got — all his guinea pigs, gerbils, rats, hamsters, lizards, finches, to ads, salamanders, tropical fish, his turtle, his tarantula, and even his boa constrictor. Who gave them all this attention? Who fed them, cleaned after them, and spent a lot of time caring for them? She was a very special girl who said, The reason I spend my time with the animals is because I just love animals. This girl was seen everyday performing her tasks, sometimes even with the boa constrictor hanging about her neck. Without her we would not have been able to have so many different creatures, because I just would not have had the time to give them all the attention and care that they re- quired, emphasized Mr. Divelbiss.

Moments of pain, discouragement, and disappointment too were a part of their dedication to their sports. Some athletes were superstars, some average, while others were bench warmers. Yet, without every one of them the team just wouldn ' t have been complete. Coaches too, were definitely needed.

Seniors Todd Fuzy and Dave Baumgartner led the team with exceptional singles per- formances. Kerry Clay, who added a lot to this year ' s team, stated, I think we played better than what our record showed. A theory of the history of golf started as a cave-kids ' game. This game of survival consisted of taking a stick and putting a stone from the ground, trying to hit the other cave- kids, who, in turn, dodged the flying stone. Caveman then took this game of survival and formed it into a game of leisure, their target being a hole in the ground instead of an- other cave-person! Enough cave-talk of years gone by.

Striving For Success Anticipation filled tine minds of the girls varsity volleyball players at the beginning of the 1982-83 season. This would be their sea- son to shine! Why shouldn ' t they shine when the returning players were six seniors, four juniors, and two sophonnores? The team was a surprise for new coach Randee Robison also, who didn ' t know quite what to expect. There were many games when he felt sure that he ' d gained a few gray hairs. Take for instance, the Heritage, Norwell triangular meet, in which the Lions came close to defeat many times. The girls came in second in the ACAC conference and were re- gional runner-ups. Their most ex- citing game was against Carroll. During this game, they could do little wrong. They lost the first game, but this made them even more hungry for a victory. Soon the Lions were on a roll, leaving the Chargers with their mouths open. The team was led by Seniors, Lisa Antil, named to the All-Con- ference team, and Cindy Hill and Susie Haines who were named All-Conference Honorable Men- tion. Each girl worked her hardest to make their season successful. There were many surprises to the girls ' season, including injur- ies. Beth Liechty, Kim Heidrich and Susie Robbins all suffered in- juries and were forced to sit out many of the games. Beth ' s injury was the most serious. She tore ligaments in her thighs and was out of play for a month. This was very disappointing to all of the players, especially when the line- up changed so often. When injuries occurred, the un- derclassmen could be counted on to take over. Tiffany Healy and Shelly Craig substituted and both filled the positions well un- der pressure. All of the players strived for and the team earned the Lions their sixth consecutive Sectional title. The Junior High girls volleyball team was led by Lisa Yoder, and April Minnick. The girls were the ACAC tour- nament champs. They beat Heri- tage, Churubusco and Wood- land. This team ' s record was 6-6 for the entire year. They always fought back and gave their oppo- nents a rough match. The most improved player was Amy Neuhauser, a reserve play- er. She was a type of spark plug for the Lions. These girls never gave up. This was proven in the tournament. The Lions were defeated by Woodlan during the season with the scores of 15-2, 15-10. This didn ' t seem to cross the girls mind as they pounced on the warriors during the tournament with the scores 15-2, 15-10. — Lisa Antil intimidating a Heritage spiker during ttie ACAC tournament comes easily to Cindy Hill and Susie Robbins.

Awesome! That was the best word to use when describing the Leo Boys Varsity Volleyball team. The team, which was composed of eight seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores, brought excite- ment wherever they went. Their outstanding enthusiasm seemed to rub-off on everyone that watched them, including the oth- er team ' s fans. These guys out-hustled every team that they came up against. Many times a ball would look im- possible to save, then Scott Miller would sacrifice his body and keep the ball in play. The team went undefeated. The only contender was the Har- ding Hawks; the Hawks always kept the lions for four out of the five times played. The Lions ' one and only defeat came in the State Tournament against Boon Grove with the scores of 11-6, 8-11. But this didn ' t stop the guys. They came back to win the championship match against Westville with ease. All of the players on the team were exceptional in some way or another. Three of the senior members were named to the All- Conference team. Chad Watson was an excellent spiker and a good all around player. He was also named the teams MVP and Captain. Doug Dilley was the best spiker of the team; Doug could spike the ball from any- where on the court, including thie back row. When Doug was in the front row, the other team would clear a trail for the ball. The third player named was Chris Gibson. Chris was a good setter, server, and often spiker. Chris could make the players on the oppos- ing team think that he was going to set the ball, then he ' d dink it and cause mass chaos across the net! The one Junior that lettered and played was Darin Roth. Darin could always be counted on to serve in a close situation. These players, and other showed great team-work throughout the year, contributing to a second State Championship. — Lisa Antil We came out of last year ' s season as the state champions, this year the kids worked hard to do what people expected: be the state champs again. — Coach Phil Stuckey photos by Jett Handlin The reserve boys ' volleyball team prepare to hit the ball over with a bump by Randy tvliller.

They proved this each time they stepped foot on the court. In many games the girls were down by a few points with only a min- ute and a half left and they would come back to win in over time. One game that will always be remembered took place during the ACAC tournament. The Lions had a good draw and were in the bracket with Norwell and Wood- land and if they got to the final game they would most likely play Heritage, the 1981-82 State Champs. They fought through the first two games, just barely sweeping past Norwell, winning by 1 point. Finally the Lady Lions arrived at the final game of the conference against Heritage. The girls came out fighting and kept the Patriots scoreless for most of the first quarter. As the game went on, the intensity stayed with the Lions, but the Patriots started to gain confidence and went into half time with the lead. The girls fought hard the next 16 minutes, but their shots just wouldn ' t fall. Soon the game ended with the Lady Lions losing 30-38. This was the first confer- ence lost in four years by the Lady Lions and it was very emo- tional after the game. It was a hard game to lose for both the girls and Coach Hey, but the The letterwinners of the team were Lisa An til and Cindy Hill, who were named to the All-Con- ference team, along with Lisa Hadley, Susie Robbins, Michelle Delagrange, Tiffany Healy, Lori Caswell, and Shelley Craig. Each player gave 100% all season long whether they played varsity, reserve, or both. The four seniors, Susie, Cindy, Lisa Had- ley, and Lisa Antil were expected to be the leaders of the team. They had to work hard with the help of the underclassmen to keep up the winning tradition. The reserve team was com- posed mainly of freshmen and sophomores. Although their re- cord didn ' t dazzle, the girls fought hard during each game. The problem with the reserve team was lack of experience and the experienced players they did have were constantly switching back and forth from the reserve team to the varsity team. The team also started the season with a new coach, Charlene Brede- meyer. The high scorers during the season were Lori Caswell and Shelley Craig. Both of these play- ers added great depth to both the reserve and varsity teams. With the experience returning and the added talent, next year the reserve will have a promising season. , . . ,, — Lisa Antil GIRLS ' RESERVE BASKETBALL, (front row): Manager Rhonda Kiefer, Leslie Yoder, Holly Redmon, Cindy Morris, Shelly Miller, Reann Panchev, Stats.

Com- posed of six seniors, two juniors, and four sophomores, the lineup was packed with hard working players that should assure a fan- tastic season. Throughout the season the Lions had many victories, but there were also some low points. One of the lowest was during the county tourney. The guys were matched up with a tough Wood- Ian team who had beaten them earlier in the season. The Lions had been psyched up by pep sessions and spirit throughout the week and were prepared for a tough game. They played hard but, unfortunately, the outcome was Woodlan defea ting Leo with the score of 59-57. The season went quickly and sectionals soon approached. The Lions won their first game against Fremont, and were then matched up with Eastside for the second game. From the beginning of the game the Leo guys were having problems making their shots and it looked like Eastside would win it, but the Lions played tough and ended up winning by a basket made by Scott Carey in the last seconds of the game. Next stop: Dekalb Barons, Leo ' s biggest rival. During this game neither team led by more than three points and the scoring was passed back and forth in an unpredictable effort. As the game came to a close, both teams were careful not to make a single mistake. The Barons were ahead by one point when the Lions came down the floor, took a shot and missed. A Dekalb player was fouled, put to the free throw line, and made both bas- kets. The Lions quickly scored and made the last basket of the game, but the Barons still won by one point. Two players were recognized by making the All Conference Team. These players were Doug Dilley and Chad Watson. Scott Carey also received an honorable mention. Although six seniors graduat- ed, the team looked promising for the following year. They would have many great expectations. The reserve boys basketball team ended a good season with a record of 14 wins and 6 losses. The team was led by juniors Dale Gerke and Troy Klopfenstein. Many of the sophomores also contributed greatly. Their strongest point was their immense talent. Coach Phil Bol- lier could switch players in and out, not having to worry about losing any momentum. Each of the Lions losses were in close games that usually ended in over- time. This team rarely lost its cool while under pressure which led to their outstanding record. — Lisa Antil BOYS ' RESERVE BASKETBALL, (front row) Todd Delfunt. Brian Blake, David Boyce, Randy J.

Bollier ' s 7th grade boy ' s basketball team ex- perienced all that and more dur- ing this year ' s season. Although they didn ' t win all of their games, the will to win was there, and that ' s what was most important. Named MVP was Joe Steuipe, who also led in scoring with 26 points for the season. Close be- hind him were Chris Neuhouser with 23 points and Nate Shade with 25 points; Nate was also the leading rebounder. The Leo Boys ' 8th Grade Team did the best job possible this season. Coach Tim Minnick commented that the team had their low points, but they im- proved on fundamentals through- out the season. Mike Hetrick proved to be very valuable to the team as he had 65 rebounds. The MVP was Travis Jacquay while the MIP was Ed Busche, who im- proved on everything overall. The 9th grade boys ' basketball team was dedicated to improve- ment. Darrell McConnell kept that standard as he improved on shooting and rebounding. Com- petition was tough, but the team hung in there and worked hard to achieve their goal of improve- ment. Another goal was high point average, exemplitied by Jeff Kimble, who averaged 12 points per game. The 7th grade girls ' basketball team had a sensational season with only one loss, and went all the way to win the ACAC title. They were honored by their fel- low Jr. High during a pep session held to note their achievements. The team was complemented by Paula Smead, who had a number of rebounds and interceptions. Also deserving mention was Amy Neuhouser, who wa s sometimes used to play on the 8th grade team for experience. Leo ' s 8th grade girls ' team gave it 100% this season. Coach Jeannie Little noted that the girls ' attitudes were praiseworthy throughout the season; named MIP with the best mental attitude were Lisa Yoder and Celeste Schaefer. Helping in the team ef- fort was MVP April Minnick (oth- erwise known was animal ), and center Kelly Klopfenstein, who kept the team growling like true lions. When our spirits were low there were always those of us who kept the team fighting, stated center Terri Clouse. That about summed it up for the Leo 7th, 8th, and 9th grade basketball teams. They were to be commended for showing true Lion sportsmanship and team- work. — Linda Warner 7th GRADE GIRLS ' BASKETBALL (front row): Angie Collins, Jenny Rayl, Lori Heare, Shana Burns, Rhonda Caswell, Lara Ryan, Heather Venderly, Amy Linker, (back row) manager Cara Seller, Joya Morgan, Tern Bry- an, Amy Neuhouser, Charlene Fouts, Paula Smead, Danielle Duch, Ellen Chou, Coach Kirk Clark, (not pictured); manager Cindy Kissner.

The 1983 wres- tling season was indeed the best ever, with the help of the underrat- ed, underpaid, underdogs — the underclassmen! This statement was no farce, for alas, it came straight (but not exactly!) out of the horse ' s mouth. OOps! Make that — it ' s a revised statement from the Senior High wrestling Coach Bill Ker bel! Highlights of the season included a first-ever defeat of Carroll, which was only one of the set and met goals for the team. Mike McCullers, a very promising sophomore, made the fastest pin for the team against Ron Woods of Heritage; he made the time of 15 seconds, the best of the season. Junior Mark Toarmina gave an excellent performance during the season. His record was 24-0 until his health interfered with his partici- pating. Those were exactly Mark ' s sentiments; I thought I was wres- tling well until I got sick. Coach Kerbel was still very proud of Mark and of the whole team. — Linda Warner SENIOR HIGH WRESTLING (front row) manager Kim Martin, Jeff Zink, Jess Zink, Ted Kuefiuer, Paul Lash, manager Dennis Amstutz.

With the loss of an outstanding gymnast, no one gave the Leo optional gymnastics team a chance, but the team had differ- ent ideas. Returning for the Lions were Renee Butt, Patti Chapman, and Lori Yoder. All three of these girls had worked hard over the summer because they knew the challenge that lay ahead. They had to prove they were good without Karen. Adding to the lin- eup was sophomore Aimee Rich- ards who earned her spot on the optional team at the beginning of the season by working hard. Two new coaches, a new gym, and the adjustment of not shar- ing practice time with other teams, were the three biggest changes at the beginning of the season. The girls adapted easily and went on with their work. The season started out like a roller coaster ride, a win over Carroll, a loss with Snider, and a mistake in addition on Eastside ' s part resulted in a loss to Dwenger. Then a large uphill climb to boost their spirits with four victories in a row. The first step of the climb was a giant one, a 94.95 to 43.2 triumph over Woodlan. Another conference meet was next with Heritage. Some of the scores were low, but the night was highlighted by Patti Chapman ' s backhandspring on the beam, Renee Butt ' s floor rou- tine and Lauri Swartz ' s vaults. As the Lion gymnasts went into the A.C.A.C. meet their big- gest fear was the Norwell Knights, who had defeated them earlier in the season. However, the Lions brought home the sev- enth consecutive A.C.A.C. gym- nastics title. The girls did a great job. Eight of a team of nine placed; Lauri Swartz, Beth Witte, Louisa Ga- luoppo, Deb Short, Melissa Schimmoller, Patti Chapman, Re- nee Butt, and Lori Yoder. High achievement throughout the sea- son paid off for Lori Yoder, Patti Chapman and Renee Butt, who were selected to be on the All- Conference team. For all three it was their second time to be named to the team. Five gymnasts from Leo moved on to the Regionals. They were Lori Yoder, Lauri Swartz, Patti Chapman, Louisa Ga- luoppo, and Deb Short. Only one advanced to State, Louisa Ga- luoppo. She finished eighth on floor with a score of 8.35. Awards were presented at the winter sports banquet. At the in- termediate level. Most Improved Player was given to Beth Witte, Mental Attitude went to Lauri Swartz, and the Most Valuable Player was awarded to Louisa Galuoppo. For the optional team, M.I.

The team was coached by Andy Overmeyer and the assistant coach was Tom Overmeyer. Each took time out of college to make the team a success. The most valuable wrestler was Rich Dellinger who ended the sea- son with an unbeaten record of 8-0 with five pins. Another outstanding wrestler was Sam Powell with a re- cord of 6-0, who also had five pins. This team struggled through many difficult practices to achieve their goals. The young grapplers outscored their opponents this sea- son 549-363. The lions ' biggest wins were all against conference teams. They stomped Woodlan, Churubusco and Heritage, beating them with a grand total of 156 points. Lisa Antil I ' m really glad that I joined wrestling. Andy taught us a lot.

The most valuable gymnast was Amy Miller, the most im- proved gymnast was Dina Sto- vall, and the team managers were Mary Minich and Alicia Don- ely. All the girls worked together and they learned special tech- niques and different styles as they watched each other per- form. This contributed to the high scores that the girls made. Their highest scoring meet was against Woodside. They scored a grand total of 144.1 points. But even with the great total, the girls lost by 4.5 points. This loss only strengthened the girls and they went on to win the next three matches in a row.

The Lions finished second in ACAC and sixth in the conference tourney. They also finished fifth in section- als, which is the highest ranking ever by a Leo golf team. The Leo Varsity Girls ' Tennis Team had the best year ever last season also. There were many goals which each team member strived to achieve. They ended the conference only losing to Norwell, and sectionals were tak- en by a tough Angola team.

It was hard to predict whether a game would be played or not due to rain and mud drenched fields. Although the weather did dam- pen the guys spirits a few times, they always came back to work hard for their victories, especially during conference. After three years of trying, they finally won the conference championship with the record of 5-1, losin g only to Norwell. The last determining game of conference was against Adams Central. The Lions knew what they had to do, and they got right to it, smearing the Jets 16-2 in all of five innings. The highlights of this game were the big stix of Chris Gibson, having two dou- bles, a triple, and a home run, and Rob Pulver and Mark Sellars also having home runs. The team had many outstand- ing achievements. Besides win- ning the conference they also had four players named to the All-Conference Team. These players were Ed Yoder as catch- er, Jon Shade as pitcher, Chris Gibson as infielder, and Pete Garrison as an outfielder. An Honorable Mention was also giv- en to Rob Pulver. Batting this year was tops, for the Lions had six guys batting over .300 with Jon Shade with the highest average of .412. Sly Chris Gibson had the grand total of 9 stolen bases and also won the ERA trophy with a 3.86 aver- age. The team had many outstand- ing individuals, yet the whole team was a unit responsible for their fine season. As Coach Hey put it, Our five seniors played hard all season and really were a major part of our success, yet our underclassmen also played major roles and key positions and the team looks forward to the future. The team was up on the top in averages, in games, in team workmanship, and in the eyes of the fans. — Lisa Antil — Sheryl Feathers -105- baseball sports Teams To Be Proud Of Field events ruled the Varsity Boys ' Track Team.

There were three new records set: Doug Dilley with 23 ' 3V2 in the long jump, Phil Neuhouser with 141 ' 8 in the discus, and a rush for the record in pole vault which was first broken by Dale Gerke, then Scott Carey pole vaulted even higher, and finally Gerke got the record winning in the state meet with the vault of 15 ' .

Terry Hill also was an out- standing member for accepting his role as a third vaulter and still work- ing hard to improve his perfor- mance. Besides the extremely good quality in the field events. Coach Walson pointed out that many of the meets were won by the combined scored of all the members. It was a season to be proud of. Hard working, always improving, and a team with a lot of enthusiasm is every coach ' s dream. This also described the Lady Lions Varsity Track Team. The girls worked hard and improved their times each meet. The only problem was that the other teams improved a little more. Finishing the season with only two wins was a disappointment for all involved. It could get very de- pressing after a meet was lost by only a few points when they gave their all to win it. The most valuable runner for the team was Amy Wil- liams, the most improved runner was Bobbi Clay, and the mental atti- tude award went to Nora Cook. This group of girls can be proud of their determination and efforts. — Lisa Antil — Sheryl Feathers ' ' ' pholo by Jim Cellint -106- track sports BOYS ' HIGH SCHOOL TRACK, (front row): Trackette Terri Krouse, Dan Man- cayo, Terry Doyle.

From Chuck Norris To Fred Astaire Can you imagine any teacher (other than Mr. Gabet) scream- ing, AHHHYAHHH!!? You possibly could if you ever wit- nessed Mr. Kevin Drew during his Tae Kwon Do workouts. Tae Kwon Do means, essentially, a way of kicking and punching. Mr. Drew was a first grade red belt and hoped to be a blackbelt within a year. His instructor was Eric Converse, who was a third degree blackblt. Their master in- structor was Cha Sok Park, who was an eigth degree blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do (there are 10 de- grees), and was over a fourth de- gree blackbelt in three other mar- tial arts. Tae Kwon Do involved blocking, kicking, punching, spinning and jumping kicks, and falling. Mr. Drew instructed his fellow employees this year as an extra-curricular activity. He also tried to start a club for students, but the administration objected. Maybe what they didn ' t under- stand was that, as Mr. Drew put it, A true martial artist will avoid a fight if at all possible. If fighting wasn ' t your style, there was also dancing. Think of the rare art of ballroom dancing; it was rare in Lion Country at least! A representative from Leo for this fascinating pasttime was Sheila Ball. Sheila ' s interest in dancing came one day during fourth grade while she was watching the Nutcracker Suite. She enrolled in ballet lessons, and then while in nineth grade her parents interested her in ball- room dancing. This type of danc- ing took a lot of hard work and concentration. Lessons from an experienced instructor were in- volved to acquire the precisoin needed for difficult steps. Ball- room dancers always needed a partner, and danced to many dif- ferent kinds of music; Latin, Pop, Disco, Ragiime, and Waltzes. Thus we had two representa- tives of sports other than the usu- al blah, hum-drum baseball, bas- ketball, football, etc., etc. It was nice for a change . . . and differ- ent! — Linda Warner S Twirling partners is a basic step in ball- room dancing, which Doug Di lley and Sheila Ball gracefully display.

Others were built for the speed of the average Joe. Various classes could only be taken by seventh graders, while a couple were restrict- ed to only graduating seniors and juniors. All the other classes were a combination of the six grades that formed the school. Every teacher taught his own subject. Some were into teaching the past, others into understanding the present and some tried to project the future. A few teachers were very humorous, some had a grasp of dry wit, and several were content with the straight forward ap- proach. All of them were in some way interesting. Students majored in English and math, shop and study hall. Stu- dents and teachers both learned from each other. Some learned a lot, some learned a little. The school was a place of students young and old, each one studying in the way most comfortable for him, each learning from his classes and understanding his own . . .

For freshmen taking p.e. 1 and 2, it was more co-ed sports such as volleyball and track. Students played other games like badminton and table tennis. After requirements were met, stu- dents could have chosen advanced p.e. This class was for students who enjoyed golf, canoeing, and hand- ball on the school ' s new handball courts. Craig Ward, a sophomore, said he liked advanced p.e. because he liked sports and it was an easy cred- it. Jim Harris, a freshman, quickly summed up his thoughts about p.e. It stinks!

Now the good news: it wasn ' t too bad. Sonne students might not have liked social studies, but if they gave it a try they found out that social studies could be interesting. Whether it was U.S. History or government, there was something valuable to be learned. U.S. History, a requirement for juniors, provided an interesting way to learn how our ancestors lived, struggled, and died when our country was in it ' s infancy. The memories of these times im- printed themselves in the students minds when Mr. Richard Kierstead took his History classes to the Old Fort. Suddenly, the students were beamed into the revolutionary era. The characters acted so real, that only the presence of other students kept one from believing that they were not in the year 1816. To prepare for 1 1th grade history, there were 7th and 8th grade geog- raphy and history classes. Seventh grade geography was basically text book work. Special map exercises increased students knowledge of the world around them. A main feature in 8th grade histo- ry was an exercise called project business. One day a week a guest speaker came in to talk about differ- ent aspects of businesses. Buying stocks was one thing covered. Oth- er things on the students ' minds in- cluded career opportunities. Differ- ent speakers gave students an idea of what they wanted to be when they grew-up . Last, but certainly not least — senior social studies. Both govern- ment and sociology were required to graduate. Government class was described in full by its name We study the three branches of Govern- ment, and learn how political deci- sions are made in America, said Mr. Steve Gabet. On the other hand sociology stu- dents learned how society influ- ences people ' s lives, and how soci- eties are organized. Unlike many required classes, so- cial studies could be a very interest- ing learning experience. For most students it was well worth the time. — Juli Heaston photos by Julie Anderson Mr. Lyio Butler enriches his eighth grade history students about the history of our country.

Do you think of a note as sonnething you write to a friend? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you probably were not in band or choir. Students in band learned that push-ups are not limited to p.e., and choir students learned how to sing notes, not write them. The band received a new director, Mr. Kevin Drew. Mr. Drew came from Northrop, where he was assis- tant band director. In band, stu- dents practiced with small groups. For instance, in class, students broke up with their sections, such as flutes, or clarinets. When they prac- ticed for a concert, they broke up into small ensembles. There was also a new face in choir: Mr. Mark Schlatter. Mr. Schlatter, who was a student teach- er, attended Leo and graduated in 1975. Believe it or not, it has al- ways been my dream to teach here, he replied. I didn ' t think I ' d be placed here as a student teach- er. Choir was not limited to singing. In class, students rubbed each oth- ers backs, and stretched out to warm up. They warmed up their voices by doing vocal exercises, such as singing the scales. A common goal shared by both band and choir was making music. But the music department was not limited to singing and playing instru- ments. Also available to students were music appreciation and music theory. In music appreciation, students studied musical styles and composi- tional techniques, in addition to chord analysis. In music theory, stu- dents talked about different styles of music. These classes offered something valuable that wasn ' t easily lost or forgotten. Like the history of our world, it ' s not just gone with the wind. — Ellen Piering -117- fine arts academics 7th GRADE BAND (front row): Jenny Rayl, Cindy Kissner.

In art class, it was possible to take a days frustrations out on paper and get credit for it. Whether it was chalk or pencil drawings, or done with markers, the pictures showed some of the artist ' s inner most thoughts. Also offered was photography class. A picture is a memory that lasts forever, so learning the correct way to take a photograph was one of the most valuable experiences a person could learn. Students in Art 3 practiced drawing on the right side of the brain. No they didn ' t use markers to scribble on each others head. It was a very concentrated way to draw. Students learned how to de- velop special abilities stored only on the right side of the brain. The skills learned were then put to use to create art work ranging from the bizzare to the classical. — Juli Heaston Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook explains to her Art 3 4 class different points of their drawings.

I have it first too. Great, you ' re in my class! So what was so unusual about that? Girls were always talking about sewing and cooking, right? Wrong!! This conversation took place between two boys. Seventh grade boys and girls were required to take both home ec and shop. In home ec, taught by Mrs. Shirley Schmidt, students learned how to cook basic foods, such as macaroni and cheese. They also learned some basic sewing. Skills such as these could be valuable in the future for both boys and girls. In accordance with ERA, girls took boys classes, also. They took architectural drawing, taught by Mr. Phil Stuckey, for the chal- lenge of doing something different. A chance to build a grandfather clock, roll-top desk, or table might have been the reason a girl would sign up for cabinetry class, also taught by Mr. Stuckey. A class like this gave a girl a chance to prove to herself, (and to the guys), that she could do a fine job in a boys class. To prepare for advanced shop classes, students took industrial arts seven. Mr. Donald Steward helped students learn the proper use of hand tools in this class. Whether it was a girls class, or a boys class, a practical arts class offered something for every- body. ■SUUk Photo by Julie Anderson Pholo by Debbie Denton Sorting through their collections, these house and interior design students start work on their weed wreaths. 120- ome ec — shop academics Carefully measuring his work, Tim Stoller strives to put all the pieces together in Woods class Making Christmas goodies, Allison Keller and Phoung Hayng work on caramels in 7th grade home ec In 6th period auto mechanics, Shawn Town- Trying to work out the problem in auto me- send uses his skills to work on a car chanics, Mr. Mike Bearman lends a hand to Terry Hill.

Yes, foreign languages. Al- though many students took a vari- ety of business classes, such as of- fice practice, accounting, and short- hand, many students prepared for a living by taking German or Spanish. Why? The business classes did offer many career opportunities. Office practice, a new class, set up an of- fice situation. Students worked as if they were actually in an office. Ac- counting, bookkeeping, and record- keeping prepared students for the growing field of working with a busi- ness income and financial records. Typing, a class many people took, was a basic requirement for office practice, and a useful business skill. With all that available, what could a foreign language offer? A lot! A student who took German or Span- ish took it for a variety of reasons. Many took a language to meet col- lege requirements or just out of curi- osity. But many people who took a foreign language didn ' t realize that a language could be useful! For those who planned to continue a language in college, the possibility of being a translator for a bank was also an idea, and that ' s what Flavia Herran, a senior, planned to do. Working for a foreign legion, trans- lating for the government or working in a foreign country were possibili- ties. If you were going to take a for- eign language, but dropped it for a business class you should think again. Take both! Who knows, you could become a typist for a German company! — Ellen Piering Spanish students in Miss Elise Carr ' s 4th period class dramatically practice their vo- cabulary words.

English, h ' M ' M tioi h Usod To fto Photo by Jett Handlin If someone had said the words Lights, cameras, action! you probably would have thought about Hollywood, not school. That is, un- less you were in TV production, a unique class taught by Mr. Randy Artherhults. One of the most expensive and advanced new facilities at the school, the new recording studio for TV production required skilled peo- ple to use it, and special care was taken when using it. Tricia Tappy, a senior in TV production said, You have to be very careful with any- thing you touch, because we were told, ' If you break, you pay ' . The studio was equipped with a variety of new things, including dubbing and editing equipment, as well as state of the art Sony color equip- ment. How was this new equipment put to use? Budding TV stars explored production and performance tech- niques, all of which led up to the final activity — students evaluated a class film that had been produced, written, directed and acted in by students in the class. Although TV production did not sound like a typical English class, what you usually thought of as a typical English class had a few surprises too. Miss Cathy Pochadzay, a new English teacher, didn ' t always teach the usual English subjects. In English 8, one project was to take a nature walk and write a paper about it. The catch was that the students eyes were closed and they relied on their senses to write. They also had many class discussions on such to- pics as what they would do if there was a nuclear war. Another interesting area they studied was on improving their study skills. How to take good notes and use them, ask good questions, and list ening well in class were just a few of the things they learned. Mr. Jim Schneider, another Eng- lish teacher, taught 7th and 8th graders. They learned everything from writing scripts for video taping to giving speeches. One subject, ti- tled mass media, dealt with newspa- pers, motion pictures, and televi- sion. Another area covered was an introduction to drama, with a main focus on Shakespeare. Mrs. Bernadine Smith ' s creative writing class held a poetry contest. Mrs. Virginia Hunt, who was a pub- lished poet, judged the poems. First, second and third place prizes, as well as honorable mentions were awarded. First place winners were Gretchen Strasser and Melody Bates. Mr. Jerry Elton Stover used illus- trations to make his classes more interesting. For example, illustrating different speech techniques. -124- english academics Demonstrating different camera an- gles, Mr. Randy Artherhults uses his knowledge of the media in sixth period TV production Lisa Antii.

In this class students were helped in their eftort to choose a career. Mrs. Piatt ' s room was also the only English room with windows. Mind you, the windows looked only into the year- book room, but they were windows none-the-less. English courses still taught nouns and verbs, but there were a few di- versions to make it more interesting. John Hartman summed it all up when he said, I like English. It ' s more than studying. We did a lot of different things. We got into groups and talked about how we would handle different situations. It ' s kind of fun. — Ellen Piering — Juli Heaston in basic grammar and composition, Mrs. Bernadine Smith reports that Gene Davis shares his research bool with Ed Herran in- stead of doing his worl sheet. -125- english academics Computing The Facts An age old question that has baf- fled people for centuries was, Just who is the Math God? There was finally something that answered this question — a com- puter. No, the Math God was not a com- puter, but the new computers in the math department took the students ' minds off the Math God. Temporar- ily, anyway. The computers gave a new look and added interest to the math de- partment. Computer programming classes, taught by Mr. Ron Crosby, were filled to capacity and switching from one period to another was al- most impossible. In class, pupils learned such things as how to write computer programs and how to make them work. But computers were not the only things students were learning about. In consumer math, following the stock market reports was a required project. Students also learned such traditional things as fractions, addi- tion, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In geometry, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders made 3-D string art pro- jects; and learned how to properly use a calculator. Of course, working with theories and shapes was also included. In algebra 1 2, 9th, 10th, and 11th graders learned ex- actly what X equals. Better yet, in algebra 3 4 pupils learned what X-l-Y equals. For the extremely dedicated math student, there was trig and calculus. Because the knowledge of com- puters and other math skills became so important in every aspect of the business world, many students in- cluded math courses as a basic part of their education. And of course, the Math God saw all, and was pleased. — Ellen Piering -126- math academics Concentrating on the figures which appear on the screen, senior Barbie Albright works on her graphics program in computer pro- gramming class Distracted by something or someone.

This word could make even the strongest man quiver with fright. Most people, when the word science ' A as mentioned immediately started to panic. It was just an invol- untary reflex. But we had to face the facts, sci- ence was one of the most interest- ing subjects offered in school. In zoology the students dissected turtles, pigs, and for the first year, cats. Now, that might have seemed like quite a few animals, but it was noth- ing compared to biology. Seven ani- mals were dissected throughout the year. Mr. Ron D Divelbiss also took some of his classes on field trips. The environmental science class went to Fox Island, while ma- rine biology went to the Florida Keys for 1 1 days. Mrs. Lynn Marquardt also went on a few field trips. She took her first hour chemistry class to the Hanchar Industrial Waste Processing Plant and the Museum of Science and In- dustry in Chicago. The new eighth grade science teacher, Mr. Bill Bollier, did things closer to the school such as taking walks to find leaves for a leaf collec- tion his students did for class. Science could have been a very interesting class to take. Mr. Bollier put it this way, The main things we did this year were discussing, in- structing, and more important, laughing! — Juli Heaston - 128- science academics In first period zoology class, Mark Kissner and Tony Mizell lovingly dissect their shark.

They slowly dragged their tired bodies out of their warm, comfort- able beds, stumbled haphazardly through their morning, and, collect- ing their thoughts, began their day. When they arrived at school, they gathered their materials and en- tered the building. They walked past their classrooms and headed for the cafeteria. Was it too early for their brains to function? No. That was typical for a teacher on a Friday morning. The teachers had decided to try something new. Mrs. Julie Manger, Mrs. Lynn Marquardt, and Mrs. Ann Linson came up with the idea be- cause during the busy school day, there really wasn ' t much time to shoot the breeze with other teachers. Besides teaching all day, there were other activities that kept them busy, so they came up with a solution. Every Friday morning at 7: 15, the teachers gathered in the cafeteria. Four or five teachers supplied var- ious foods — which ranged from doughnuts and coffee to pancakes, bacon and rolls. Gathered together at a few tables, the teachers talked about plans for the weekend and other personal things that they didn ' t talk about during school hours. Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook, Mr. Jer- ry Elton Stover, and Mr. Jack Flick all agreed that the best thing about the breakfast was the opportunity to see and talk to teachers they didn ' t have time for otherwise. Mr. Robert Shaw commented that his favorite thing Sure ain ' t the cof- fee, but he liked the comradery. Miss Mary Rhynard felt It ' s a good way to start a Friday. I love the cof- fee. To most people, the weekend started right after work or after school but the staff got a running start. All of the teachers felt that the Friday morning breakfast was need- ed. And what better time to plan it than the first day of the weekend? — Diane Grabowski Ellen Piering 130- teachers academics Randall A. Artherhults: Grad of South Side High School.

Some were chapters of national offices, such as honor society, while others were the results of Leo ' s own fertile minds, like Hal ' s Angels. A few had a mem- bership of 10% of the entire school, whereas others had no more than four people, just enough to hold office positions of the club. Some of the clubs had all their activities in the confines of the school building. Other clubs traveled as far as Florida. Many of the clubs held their meetings every week, while others held them every month, and a few even held them bi-annually (not intentionally). Some clubs were full of jocks. Some clubs were full of brains. Some were full of hoods. Every club was full of specific individuals that desired to be in that certain kind of club. Each was a unit independant from any other club, chapter, or organization. Each club had its own activities and its own style. Each was one of the ...

It ' s hard to imagine how Ponty, played by David Baumgartner, hus- tled, conived, and blackmailed his way to the top. But he did. And how. Diction was clear throughout the play in both music and spoken parts. Clear enunciation of the mu- sic was very important to the play since the lyrics were mood setters. Also the lighting and sound effects, clever costumes, and sets helped. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this play a 9-I-. — Elaine Arnett World Wide Wicket company gets into the Brotherhood.

These tal- ented people contributed their voices to the Leo High School Swing Choir. This performing club consisted of twenty-four students from grades ten to twelve. They called themselves, Mixed Com- pany . Mixed Company sang at several different places, including nursing homes, such at Byron Health Center and Lawton Health Center. Other performances includ- ed Harding High School and a ban- quet at Harland. Directing this singing group was Mr. Jack Flick. Mr. Flick had direct- ed Swing Choir for ten years. Even with all the frustrations and conflicts with finding rehearsal time, we still come up with great performances, Mr. Flick replied. The Swing Choir always put a smile on the viewing audience ' s faces. Vincent Stovall gave his rea- son for being in Swing Choir, Be- cause I like to sing, and I enjoy be- ing around the people. Buying outfits, showing up on time, and getting together were some hectic activities experienced by those preparing for a perfor- mance. Susie Haines summed it up with, It takes a lot of time, but it ' s worth all the effort. Flick supported his group ' s efforts by adding, I feel they are a very dedicated group of students. — Tricia Tappy -140- swing choir clubs photo by Mark Smith photo by Debbie Denton Even without their colorful clothes and snappy dance steps, the swing choir is still a fine singing group.

Speech Team, Drama Club, and Drill Squad seemed to a lways be busy as their performances came regularly. The speech team found that with their 1983 season shorter than the 82 one, they had to make more time available for practice. Using after- school hours and project periods these speechies prepared them- selves for their grueling and early Saturday morning competitions. Have you ever wondered where the lighting comes from in a play? Or how about the detailed scenery? Each of these are responsibilities of drama club members. There is a lot more that goes on than just the play itself. Students in the club were in- terested in involving themselves with some pieces of the action. Half-time routines during home games were usually performed by the drill squad. This gave them the time to show their stuff. Drill squad involved several girls from the grades nine through twelve. These girls put in many hours of hard work and ended their performance with applause from the crowd. Summing up the duties of these clubs shows that they weren ' t all fun and games. These students used their precious time to perform for the people who watched them pro- gress. — Tricia Tappy Just as a professional radio broadcaster, Laurie Foutz gives a broadcasting speech during a speech meet at Dekalb. -143- performing clubs MARINE BIOLOGY (front row): Susan Smith.

Well, the marine biology class did just that. They headed for the sunny part of the states, Key Largo, Flor- ida. It wasn ' t all fun though, they did have their work cut out for them. The students spent most of their time on the big blue ocean but you can bet that they found time for en- tertainment. The German Club went to the mall on a scavenger hunt. They were given names of things in Ger- man and had to find the items in English. The German Club also went caroling at Christmas time and en- joyed watching everyone smile. Campus Life was one of the newer groups. They had weekly meetings and this group of active students took part in such things as a burger bash and a winter ski trip. With around 95 participants these clubs were more than just a seventh class, they were an adventure in learning and a lot of fun. — Kim Bennett photo by Mark Smith As a humorous side light to the Campus Life meetings.

Giving of Themselves Would you like to have given up your study hall? The office workers did. They delivered messages, ran errands, and passed out attendance slips. Giving up their project periods and study halls, the A.V. depart- ment repaired projectors and deliv- ered movies throughout the school. The library workers helped people find books and check them out. They also repaired book covers and made out over-due notices. Giving up their Saturdays and spare time, the Mat Maids helped to support the wrestlers by raffling off a 10 lb. candy bar to raise money, so at the end of the season they could take the wrestlers out for din- ner. The Y-teens gave teachers candy canes and Christmas cards during teachers week. They had a Christ- mas party at the YWCA and also helped in the WOWO penny pitch. All in all the A.V., Y-teens, office workers, library workers and Mat Maids put forth effort to help others at Leo function more smoothly. — Debbie Greer -147- aid clubs clubs STUDENT COUNCIL (front row): Michelle Delagrange.

Homecoming and Class Tourney were some of the responsi- bilities taken on by the members of this group. Honor society was more associat- ed with the students than any other group. They were the students who had achieved a high level of aca- demic standards. At the end of ev- ery nine weeks the administration gave a special breakfast for those students on honor roll and their par- ents. The purpose of the Letterwinner ' s Club was to promote athletic activ- ity. This club also encouraged its members to improve physical skills and fitness. At the same time they strived to increase competitive spir- it, sportsmanship and mental atti- tude. At the beginning of the year, the letterwinners got the wood for the bonfire during homecoming. They sold jackets and shirts to help raise money for athletic banquets and they parked cars for open house. As one of the largest clubs the letterwinners took an active part in contributing to life at the new school. JR. HIGH HONOR SOCIETY, (front row): Da- mon Lurcel.

The Letterwinners, Hal ' s Angels and Equestrian Club helped fill these requirements. The Letterwin- ners Club was an organization that raise money for sports and recog- nized athletes. Money was raised by selling Lion jackets and holding a Letterwinners banquet. The ban- quet had another advantage also. Initiates could get hours by working there, in addition to taking statistics at games. Although not an actual sport, Hal ' s Angel ' s was a sports related club. These four guys became fam- ous after their spirit-raising at the ACAC tourney because their picture was in the News-Sentinel. Jeff Los- er, Mike Thomas, Dave Cartwright, and Chris Lowden started this new club to promote more school spirit. Another new addition was the Equestrian club. They took field trips to different stables, saw movies on different types of horses, and read horse magazines. These clubs had much in com- mon, In their own way they were athletically related, and in their own way they contributed something valuable to the school and students. — Ellen Piering — Diane Grabowski HAL ' S ANGELS, (bottom row): Jeff Loser.

For an entire pro- ject period, a representative of the Atari company and DJ Jeff Davis of WMEE (97 FM) demonstrated com- puters and the future they repre- sented. Many people had had contact with video games, the operations of the banks, and the day to day con- tact with cash registers, but few people in Leo had had contact with real, disc breathing micro proces- sors. The computer clubs (high school and junior high) spent the year learning the basics (no pun intend- ed) of the Atari 800 ' s that the school received at the beginning of the year. The club held fund-raising events in an effort to raise the mon- ey to buy new equipment, such as several computer games and edu- cational software to benefit the whole school. While the computer clubs spent the year typing on key boards and moving joysticks, the chess club was a collection of Leo students in- terested in preserving the game that dates back to the time of the Ro- mans. The chess club members didn ' t perform snazzy visual pro- grams like the computer clubs but they did manage to keep alive a game which some people thought would be destroyed by the comput- ers that were rivaling man in thinking ability. These two clubs were both sides of the arguement of which is prefer- able, the mind or the machine. One club dealt with ideas on magnetic discs, the other was a struggle of man against man in a brain power contest. From the looks on the faces of both clubs, when they were deep- ly into their respective battles, both sides were winning. — Randy Mishler photos by Rene Castator Jr. High students Shane Koch, Greg Koenig Marcy Dwinell works on her computer pro- and Mike Forth watch Chris Hartman worl on grams. his computer. -152- thinking clubs clubs HIGH SCHOOL COMPUTER CLUB, (front row): Barbie Albright.

A Year Of Firsts The story of the cheerleading squad was a story of firsts. Early in the season, the Varsity squad consisting of the ten girl and guy cheerleading partners entered a Midwest Regional Competition for the first time. Practicing long hours, they designed a three minute pro- gram to present to the judges at Miami Univeristy in Oxford, Ohio. Leo was the only squad, among ap- proximately fifty squads in the mid- west to have a combined guy girl squad. The cheerleaders did a fine job in the competition, placing a re- spectable 11th place. They (the cheerleaders) were the first squad to receive two career District Champion. The squad was considered to be the best squad at- tending camp, and the squad that entered the National Cheerleading Championship. They received their second District Champion title at the UCA Purdue University Camp. Finally, this was the first squad to cheer in the new Leo High School Gymnasium, which was a great ex- perience, stated Lauri Swartz, var- sity cheerleader. — Kim Bennett — Lauri Swartz. 8th GRADE CHEERLEADERS, (front row): Vickie Stuckey, Melanie Brandt (2nd row): Dina Stovall, Missy Sutton.

Yearbook, advised by Miss Cathy Pochodzay, cov- ered every aspect of student activities. This club did much of its work outside of class, and it used each of the other creative clubs in its work. Yearbook students learned journalistic styles and each person had a chance to create a part of a memory. Newspaper club also used journalistic styles, but in a different way. This club was sponsored by Mr. Jim Schneider. The newspaper informed students and staff of athletic records, talked about past happenings, and had editorials on debatable topics. This staff also took care of senior profiles and happy ads for special events. Taking pictures for the yearbook and newspaper staff was the responsibility of the photography club. The students involved in this club had to be flexible. They were sent from event to event, being ordered to print out great photos. These students were always busy and often didn ' t have the time to finish one project before they got another started. They had the responsibility of keeping deadlines in order to keep the yearbook on schedule. Artistic talents were brought to life by Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook, in the art club. Students involved in any of the art classes were included in this club. They participated in field trips and held dances. These students entered their projects in many contests around the area, such as the L.S. Ayres Art Competition. Some of their art was entered in the art exhibit held in the spring at school. All of these clubs were clubs in motion. Clubs that were creative and clubs that had a project and a goal to reach in something other than dollar amounts. These were clubs of production. — Tricia Tappy Theresa Pusateri helps Jim McKinley get It straigtit as he cuts a mat board to frame his photograph, which will be entered in the Art Exhibit.

There was Grabill. There was Spencerville, and Cedarville, and Harlen. People lived in Cedar Shores, Brighton Park, Oak Grove, Bay Shore Hieghts and on farnns. The St. Joe River combined with two miles of farms and wood land to physically separate the district into two major towns and a scattering of villages and additions. People would drive 2, 5, 60, and 100 miles to get to work. Some only had to step next door. Some had no reason to leave the house; economy told them there was no place to go. It was a community different than anywhere else. It was not just because we were a spread out section of humanity, not like the dense pack plan of places like Chicago and New York. It was unique because it was us. Unique; sometimes friendly; sometimes cold. This was our area, these were our . . . DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES photo by Mark Moore NO REAL DIFFERENCE.

Snow, over seventy inches of it, heaped itself on our city and sur- rounding towns. Finally, when at last, March came and it seemed that all would be better, we were proven wrong once again. The floods came, the worst flooding either we or our grandparents for that matter, had ever experienced. Somehow, band- ing together through hard work and some heartache — we fought back the waters and gave ourselves a new found sense of unity as well. Suddenly, the entire nation knew that the people of the Fort Wayne area were a tough, courageous bunch — a bunch that would stand together no matter how bad things got. ... No matter how bad things got. Sure, times were tough, but ev- eryone knew that. Reagonomics was taking its toll in jobs and gov- ernment support but the President had warned us it wouldn ' t be easy. We just had no idea how hard it would be. We ' d seen what had hap- pened to Detroit due to the slump in the automobile industry, but that could never happen to us ... Or could it? There had been talk of a move for some time. Fort Wayne ' s Harvester plant was old. In order to survive in today ' s market Harvester execu- tives decided changes would have to be made. The plant in Springfield, Ohio was newer and would cost up to fifty million dollars less to run a year. With the drop-off in demand for parts and trucks it could easily fill all the orders for both plants. It was either that or the threat of bankrupt- cy. At first everyone was sure it was just talk. Many of the employees of International Harvester had started there upon graduation from high school, and many would have re- tired from there as well, just as their parents had done. Surely Harvester wouldn ' t turn its back on as old and loyal a friend as Fort Wayne. The mayor, the city council, the employees of Harvester, the citizens of the Fort Wayne area — everyone tried to find a way to save Harvest- er. Some suggested loans from the city ' s banks, others suggested cuts in the workers ' pay. In fact, workers even offered to give up ten million dollars in wages to be paid back later. People thought of everything, but always, always, there was some loophole to prevent that idea from working. One could only hope that the executives of the company would decide not to turn their backs, but to stay in Fort Wayne. Why wouldn ' t any of the answers work? After all, Fort Wayne ' s total bid was twenty million dollars more than Springflelds. One didn ' t have to look very far to see the answer. The newspapers, the television, the faces of the people themselves told all that needed to be known. Harvester had laid off 5000 work- ers over the last two years with more lay-offs every week it seemed. They were awfully close to bankruptcy and interest rates on bank loans were sky-high. We were indeed see- ing how tough it really would be. September 27 was not a good day for the people of the Fort Wayne area, especially for Harvest- er ' s employees. It was a Monday, naturally, and the weather forecast was for mostly sunny and warm, high in the mid 70 ' s, In actuality, it was cold, rainy, and dreary, a fitting way to set the scene for the news that came at 10:21 A.M. Harvest- er ' s heavy trucks operations were leaving Fort Wayne. So this was it. The news we all feared was at last a reality. Now the I M I I 1 I ! ' Packing and saying goodbye to F; Wayne, one of many local families were forced to move due to the Harvester shut down. -160- feature community Reflecting the International Harvester shutdown, parking lots such as these may j.not be used to full capacity again. (Harvester cont.) r f t question remained, What next? Too nnany of us already knew the strain of unemployed parents. The ripple effect of the Harvester shut- down should bring the harsh fact to too many more of us. Not only would it affect us at home but the aid to East Allen County Schools form Harvester taxed was phenom- enal: $26,698,108. This amount could be cut back to $2,523,500. Not only was there to be a drop in funds but it was feared that enroll- ment would decrease as well be- cause of families having to move elsewhere for work. Fortunately, this never became a reality. Whether employed by a factory or a fast-food restaurant, everyone felt the pinch of Harvester. It affect- ed our school Monday through Fri- day and our entertainment on the weekends. History and government teachers talked about it. Two local disc jockeys even recorded a song about it. Although in the end. Har- vester was gone, the city was there and so were the people. The battle was lost, but the war of survival was far from over. — Beth Gottfried f - 1f- One of the Leo High School office workers, Mrs. Pam Perl ins, is also being affected by the Harvester shutdown.

Horror . . . slasher . . . satan . . . hell . . . dead- line. Deadline? Yes, that was the word that produced everything from a queasy stomach to a throbbing headache in the hearts and minds of dedicated staffers. As if the sheer thought of scurry- ing to meet class and company pro- duction dates wasn ' t enough, job stamps disappeared, markers dryed up and grease pencils vanished. The undersized yearbook room pro- duced a run-off of staff members who took refuge in Miss Rhynard ' s German room. To some it seemed that the only salvation from the con- stant push of deadline was to scratch a message on the ever pre- sent Scribble Sheets (no nastiness, please!) Sure the wall sized LADDER showed what had been done and what was left to do, but who was there to make sure the deadlines were met? Why first year advisor Cathy Pochodzay, that ' s who. From deciding if pictures were really cropped right to bursting the fin- ished page, Miss Poch did her darn- dest to keep the staff on schedule. Yelling, Stop the presses! I re- sign, co-editor Randy Mishler walked through the commotion of the room to talk with his other (and better) half, Sheryl Feathers. Al- though they were for the most part complete opposites, their talents combined to create an intriguing and productive atmosphere. Beth Gottfried and Jim McKinley were the class specialists . Beth summed up her job as copy editor by saying, I ' m really glad I had the opportunity to control yearbook copy, but I had a tough time deci- phering the scrawl. Jim, photo edi- tor, was in charage of proofing pic- tures as well as serving as a staff photographer. People and Academic sections were unique because everyone was a first year staffer. They all had little experience when they started, but they learned a lot as the year went along. Clubs moved along rapidly until section editor Elaine Arnett caught a continuous bug that put a strain on her section. But everyone helped out so they could get the job done, and they did. Lifestyles fit these staffers to a T. With a variety of personal- photos on this spread by Jim McKinley Doing what typist do best, Maureen Doyle attempts to crawl througti the scrawl of a rough draft story As with many yearbook decisions, a conference between staffers Diane Grabowski, Randy Mishler and Ellen Piering leads to the best solution -186- staff closing THE STAFF AT REST Co-editors Randy Mishler (left), Sheryl Feathers (top, below); advisor Cattiy Pochodzay ACADEMICS: D ebbie Denton, Julie Anderson, Julie Heaston, Ellen Piering LIFESTYLES: Patty Roy (front), Karen Pfister , Krista Bute, Jessica Brandt, Vince Stovall PEOPLE: Anita DelaBarre, Mishelle VIot, Diane Grabowski , Jeni Sauder Photo editor Jim McKinley NOT PICTURED: Ads; Doug Dilley , Julie Moss .

However, these little tiffs helped them to be particu- lar in their work, so all in all, the section was a success. Sports section had first hand information because most of this section ' s staffers were involved in sports. After a rough start, these athletic ladies put down their practice sweats, picked up their pencils and turned out some quality work. Communities didn ' t pay much heed to deadlines. Instead Doug Dilley and Julie fvloss put their noses to the grindstone and kicked out their section almost two months before everyone else finished. Broken down typewriters and lots of work kept typists Susi Haines, fvlaureen Doyle, and An- gle Hammons busy from the be- ginning of the second semester (when they signed up for year- book) to the final deadline. As with any project there is that one thing that must wait to last to be finished, the year- book ' s last job was index. Even at the end Index editor Ann How- ard was happy to get all the help the staff could give. Ironically, and slightly spooky, was that the last major deadline fell on . . . Friday, May 13th. But the final thing to do was not to crop pictures — draw layouts, or finish index. The last thing to do was to breath a huge sigh of re- lief. — Diane Grabowski — Ellen Piering — and the usual help ackhumm Volume 18 ol the Leo High School Oracle vjas printed by Jostens merican Yearbooks of Clarksville.

All of the students prepared to leave. Some would never come back, a few would return to visit, but for the most it was time for a brief rest and then back to school again. The party was over and the time for new friendships and new parties was ahead. For some of the people involved, it was a time of sadness, for others it was a time to be happy, for everyone it was an end. We were finished with that year of our schooling, we were finished with that year of our lives, and we had choices to make. Which career to pursue? W hat classes to take next year? Which people to meet and enjoy the summer with? What to do with the rest of our lives? For the students that would be back next year it would be another year of sports, another year of classes and another year of learning the values of a good education.

Almost all would find a job in the world, some even starting their own families and a whole different kind of life for themselves. The future was like standing at the entrance to a dark forest. The path went ahead for just a few feet before we saw it branch off into two or three different paths, and as we moved into the forest the paths continued to split. The people we knew began to take their own paths. A few stayed, a few added, but everytime a friend would change, everytime an idea was altered, everytime we finished a step in our educations. We forged ahead on a new path. We went ahead in our own . . . DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS } 1 f -192- closing the end photo by Jim McKinley DIFFERENT DUCKS.
