Opcning lnsidc iCOOSlS Inside No matter what our name was or where we lived, school was a major part of our lives. We knew what to expect from the one hundred and eighty school days when we began each year. We knew the set pattern for each day: six classes plus a half an hour for both lunch and project period. Not only did we know what each day contained, but we knew certain events would take place. We knew the year began with fall sports which were fol- lowed by basketball, wrestling and gym- nastics and then concluded with spring sports. We looked forward to home- coming, class tourney, prom, and graduation. Whether we were a freshman, sopho- more, junior, or senior, we knew what was expected of us. Seniors were the leaders of the school and needed thirty- two credits to graduate. Juniors faced U.S. History all year while sophomores were required to take English. Fresh- men were confronted with the new rou- tine of high school. However, there were factors which changed the way we expected things to happen. They were connections that made each day different. The heat which made the mercury rise till the temperature was in the eighties made the September days seem like summer, but the air conditioners which cooled the school gave us the choice to wear our winter sweaters. Talk of closing school or moving all sports practices to the morning gave the school year an unexpected beginning. Opening Connections I 1 EOn Wednesday of homecoming week the junior and senior girls battle for a victor ' in a powder puff football game. Dave Shaw, Ted Kuehner, Jack Overmyer, Tom Brewer. Chris Lcwden, and Rob Puiver add an extra amount of excitement to the game. Each year students prepare skits and floats to raise school spirit during homecoming week. This year Dave Cartwright, Brian Blake. Greg Bemis. and Ken Witte show the commun ity involvement as they stand by the Pizza Prize marquis. . SPECULA For some people, receivii blood after an auto accident mean.s the difference between life and death. Breaking their normal routine, students such as Tom Herendeen give their blood and time during the annual blood drive. During school, jeans and a sweater are popular clothes. For a change of pace on Monday of homecoming week, students such as Dina Stovall and Laurie MacQueen turn their clothes backward and inside out to show school spirit. Opening Inside Connections cont Books, homework, qjuizzes. and tests were still a part of ejach class which required us to complete our assign- ments. However, beirjg listed on the honor roll meant more} as students had to study harder to aihieve the same grades they received the previous year. This was a re sult of teachers being re- quired to use a stricter grading scale. Along with change; during school, normal events such a the traditional homecoming bon-fire were questioned because of liability policies. Also fund raisere were limited to control the amount of items being sold at one time. All the changes |which occurred caused the ordinary happenings to turn into special moments yhich made each day unique. Each day )ut together gave our year an inside connection as we re- placed the set routine suspense, and personality. with excitement.

We knew each day contained twenty- four hours needed to sleep, eat, and relax. We looked forward to the weekends, but we were also aware that we had to attend school the oth- er five days of the week, seven hours a day. However, there were connections which made each of our daily rou- tines unique. Whether it was getting up in the morning or finding a car on Friday night, we all had our individ- ual problems. These problems made our schedules vary as we had to al- low more time to do homework or catch up on lost sleep. Weekends gave us the option to go to Glenbrook, see a movie, or just be with friends. Every change in our or- dinary schedules gave each day on the calendar an inside connection making our lifestyles unique and full of surprises. Karen Pfister School involves hard work and many hours in the classroom, bul il also is a place to socialize.

Ladies Night Eating at McDonalds, matching tee-shirts, and weed corsages were just a few of the traditions of Leo ' s annual Morp. Instead of the normal prom where the guys asked the girls, this special dance gave girls the opportunity to ask their favorite guy. Once the thoughts of being reject- ed stopped, it was time to pick out matching tee-shirts. Popular ones were sweat shirts. Ocean Pacific tee- shirts and baseball jerseys. After shirts were picked out, the place to eat was chosen. Very popu- lar were Wendy ' s, Pizza Hut, and McDonalds. The dance itself started at 7:30. Music was provided by Mistaken Identity. The music of Loverboy, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot and Duran Duran were some of the favorite groups. After some dancing, the Morp court was announced. It was as follows: Most likely to win the Indianapolis 500; Greg Bemis and Chris Stuckey, Clumsiest; Frank Al- bright and Kelly Martin, Biggest Whiner; Larry Dwinell and Renee Gongwer, Most hilarious laugh; Bri- an Blake and Cindy Bender, Fun- niest faces; Rob Sanders and Kelly Platter, Biggest Brown noser; Myron Weber and Renee Butt, Most likely to be on the cover of Vogue Maga- zine; Tom Herendeen and Julie Moss, Person who grubs the most; Bob Black and Pam Schaffer, Big- gest Troublemaker; Curt Butler and Cindy Morris, Best Smile; Tim Glenn and Carol Meinerding, Best Couple; Dale Gerke and Tiffany Healy.

Home- coming week started Monday, Sep- tember 25th, with backwards and in- side-out day. Students wore jeans, shirts, and a variety of other items backwards and inside-out. Wednes- day was No sweat to a Lion Victory day. Students showed their school spirit by wearing every variety of sweats one could imagine. Friday was the traditional purple and white day, along with hats off day. The colors of our school were proudly displayed by purple sweatshirts, and purple and white tennis shoe strings. Any kind of hat one could imagine was found on the heads of faithful Lion fans. Leo painter hats, cowboy hats, and baseball caps were very popular. On Wednesday night the annual powder puff game between the ju- niors and the seniors took place. The experienced seniors rallied over a tough junior squad to come out the winner. After a week of spirit and crazi- ness, the night of Homecoming ' 83 finally arrived. As the Lion gates opened, fans packed in ready to cheer their Lions on to a victory over their rivals, the Woodlan Warriors. The game began, and the Lion team managed to score one touchdown, putting Leo on top at the half. Soon the halftime festivities be- gan. The fioats bearing the theme A Magical Homecoming made their ways around the track. Of all the floats, the juniors ' fioat won first. The band and drill squad marched on to the field to make the tradition- al tunnel for the homecoming court to walk through. Next, after a mo- ment of nervous anticipation, the big moment arrived. Recieving the most votes, Cindy Bender was crowned homecoming queen by last year ' s queen, Tricia Tappy. The football game ended with a score of Woodlan 21, Leo 7. The loss didn ' t dampen the rowdiness, though, as Leo students moved to the gym and danced to the music of WXKE and Dr. West.

What makes some plays pleasures to the eye? What makes some plays memo- rable? All these questions could be answered by saying a matter of taste, but the truth is that whether a play succeeds or not is determined by lots of hard work. Leo ' s fall play. Boy Wanted, an entertaining farce about teens out- witting adults, did, indeed, succeed. Young and old laughed at its compli- cations and applauded the cast ' s ex- cellent performing and timing. Like any other production, get- ting ready had its problems. Two ac- tresses had to be replaced days be- fore opening night. The worn-out plot needed all the help it could get, and the actors had to muster all kinds of stamina to push the pace — sometimes at berekneck speed. Well, the show must go on, and so ac- tresses were replaced by Miss Rhyn- ard and Andrea Zych, Mr. Stover ' s student director; Mr. Stover worked on blocking like crazy, added and reversed lines, and coached each laugh; and finally those Drama Club performers did what he always ex- pected: to make their work the best possible. — Jerry Elton Stover Both .Scoet ilepler and David Shaw make their dcbul in Boy Wanted.

Juniors Spark School Spirit Spirit: Defined as enthusiastic loy- alty, as school spirit. School spirit was becoming a los- ing sport at Leo High School last year, until students decided to do something about it. With a helpful boost from the junior class, the en- tire school started to come alive with spirit. On the day of a regular pep ses- sion, juniors put life into the monoto- nous routine by dressing up in shorts, Hawaiian tops, and sandals. Other classes began to follow. Sophomores trashed the opponents by wearing multi-colored garbage bags. Fresh- — 14 men scummed out as they had Gang up on the Warriors ' day, and seniors added to the spirit by dress- ing up and decking out in Christmas colors of red and green. On the week of ACAC, cheerleaders sponsored No sweat for a Lion victory day, and Punk out day. Even the teach- ers joined the scene by performing a skit Ihey developed with the help of the cheerleaders. Students seemed to start enjoying themselves at the pep sessions, as well as losing their voices. Each class chanted continuously to show how much spirit they really had. Some classes competed to see who could out-yell the others. Cheerleader Faith Smead said, Students seemed to start to care about winning, and began to cheer along with us. The cheerleaders, both girls and boys, were the originators of the many skits and complex pyramids. With their help, spirit was greatly improved. Most of all though, it was the fans. Through snow, ice, and rain, the stu- dents parents, and faculty came to support their team. But more impor- tantly, to support their school.

Lifestyles Weekends pholos by Tim Glenn Lots of R and R 5 The weekend, for some, was a time of rest and relaxation. The majority of students, however, used their weekends as a time to date, go to parties, or cheer on our Leo Lions in their many sporting events. The weekend was an escape of the drudgery of homework, early morn- ing alarms, and late night studying. Students replaced thoughts of wor- rying about getting their algebra as- signments done with anticipation of the fun times ahead. Saturdays and Sundays were a great time to hang out at the mall and spend extra earned money. Die- hard video game freaks used their freetime in the arcades trying to get high scores on games such as Drag- on ' s Lair, Robotron, and Zaxxon. On Saturday night, students went to movies, parties, or got together with friends. Another popular spot for Leo students was the Casbah. This was a great place to dance to our favorite music, and also meet new people. Anyway we looked at it, weekends were a great break from the daily routine of early starts, long assign- ments and late nights of studying. — Michelle Kies While shopping at the mall.

M • Along with Mountain Dew, 7up, Sprite and A _ W Roolbeer; Pepsi is a favorite drink of Leo junkies. Ho-Ho Heaven Ho-Ho ' s, Twinkles, Moonpies, Ding Dongs, and Zingers were just a few of the deliciously fattening things that were classified as junk foods. Because Ice Cream Alley and Ei- chels were near the school, stopping to get some goodies was very popular after school. These calorie-packed foods were also common in the diets of students. Parents tried their best to teach their kids to get a balanced meal, but the temptation of billboards and televi- sion commercials brainwashed the teenagers minds. Instead of the thoughts of juicy apples or a ripe orange, visions of pizza and a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew flashed into their minds. When the craving hit the student, he went on a junk food rampage. This rampage was of- ten called Hostess Syndrome. Ru- maging through refrigerators and cupboards, these frantic victims con- sumed every single item classified as food in their path. Anyway one put it, junk food was here to stay. Celeste Shaefer said it best when she stated, Junk food seems to fit in there with the .Mi- American baseball and Apple Pie. — Vincent Stovall 21 Lifestyles Junk Food Money, Money, and more Money One million dollars, no matter whether it was in gold, silver, cash, or even pennies, it was still one mil- lion dollars. Have you ever thought of what you would buy if you had a million dollars? Clothes, Z-28 ' s, condo ' s in Florida, and trips to the Bahamas were only some of the dreams which turned into reality with the money. However, each person had his own opinion on how he would spend his money. Rob Sanders said I ' d buy my own personal ice rink to play hockey in. To Ed Herran a luxury would be to buy a private plane with an arcade so that he could take his friends to exotic and tropical places. Not all students wanted to spend the money on themselves, some thought of others first. As Scott Hepler stated, I would pay my dad ' s house off so that he wouldn ' t have to work for the rest of his life. Julie Anderson stated that she ' d give 40% of her money to the church and put the rest in the bank. Even though most of us weren ' t confronted with the question of what to do with one million dollars, dreaming about the luxuries was a super way to pass the time as each student worked to achieve his goals. — Michelle Kies Karen Pfister Cars, fast and flashy, here Larry Dwinell shows what he would buy if he had a million dollars.

Home Sweet Homeroom Not much is contained in a name, but during the last five minutes of everyday, it mattered whether your last name was Brown or Smith. Each class sponsor was given a part of a class which was divided up alpha- betically. These students combined were then known as his or her ' s homeroom. Although the primary purpose of homeroom was to take attendance, each teacher added his own touch to the conclusion of the day. Mrs. Leb- zelter found that the only way to keep her seventh graders quiet was to play a variety of games including box hockey, family fued and match game. Other homerooms were con- tent to sit in their seats and talk, while still others gathered around the door to await the bell. Some students came to homeroom prepared with books and coats all gathered together. However others enjoyed the excitement of going to his or her locker, and preparing for the temperature change in a mere five minutes. Some students did not use their time quite so wisely and were late, or just didn ' t come at all. This resulted in a yellow pass to Mr. Kurtz ' s office of maybe even an in-school suspen- sion. No matter if you hated home- room, or enjoyed the relaxed atmo- sphere, each student had to tolerate it for five minutes a day. — Karen Pfister Lifestyles Homeroom I I Although most homerooms were n; ' ' ' ' - . „f . j,j, slockmarkel news.

Students expressed their freedom in their five-minute passing period. These five minutes were usually spent catching up on the latest gos- sip, or copying down next periods history assignment. Senior Tim Glenn said it this way: Besides us- ing passing period time for getting from class to class, I enjoy using the time for getting together with some of ' The Guys ' and to mock the dilin- quints in the halls. In the few seconds remaining, stu- dents made a wild grab for the book they hoped to find under the piles and piles of garbage in the bottoms of lockers. Next it was a run to their next class. Jammed lockers was the most used excuse of the students getting to class late. Teachers didn ' t except jammed lockers as a legitimate ex- cuse, and so, another hour began, and dragged on, and on, and on. — Michelle Kies 1 Getting a load off his mind, this student surely uses his five minutes wisely.

Action started early as each class worked to make their section of the bleachers look its best. Besides the artistic approach, there were pop guzzling and ice cream eating where students ate points for their classes. However, if you weren ' t into food there were always basketball, volley- ball, arm wrestling and the obstacle course. Even if a student ' s name did not appear on any of the lists, his pres- ence was still appreciated in class participation and tug-of-war. The tourney closed with juniors and seniors battling for first and sec- ond place. However, with the final points tallied, juniors came in first with 144, seniors with 126, sopho- mores earned 64 and finally the freshman with 32 points. After the screaming and yelling died down everyone finished the night by dancing to the music of Mach One. Although class tourney could not be compared to a good movie or shopping at Glenbrook Mall, it gave each class a chance to have and achieve a winning spirit. — Karen Pfister 29 Lifestvles Class Tournev 1_ I ' Fun; Sun: Sure Cures for Winter Blues Spring break was just what it im- plied, a break. A break from school, homework, classes, and the boring daily routines. There were many things students did to take advantage of their breaks. Most people went to the fun and sun of Florida. Florida was a great place to get a tan and get away from all the problems of life at home. Eric Hobson said, Florida is a great place where you can meet girls, and party all day and night. Getting a tan was usually the main reason students flocked to Florida. They were the envy of the student body when they returned from the sunny state with their brown bronzed skin. A new opportunity for Leo stu- dents last year was a nine day trip to Europe. The trip was sponsored by Mrs. Piatt, Miss Rhynard, and Mrs. Mauquardt. The trip involved touring the var- ious countries of Europe including: London, England; Paris, France; Lu- cerne, Switzerland; and Heidelburg, West Germany. As Ann Howard said, I learned to appreciate Ameri- can things I took for granted — like- toilets. Others less fortunate were forced to spend their spring break in dull, dreary Fort Wayne. These deprived kids hung around at the mail, went and saw movies, or just hung out with friends. As stated by Irene Kissner, I just hung around the house and watched my sopa operas. On the other hand, many of these students who stayed home enjoyed sleeping in and relaxing in their nat- ural, everyday surroundings. Edgard Herran put it best when he stated, I had the chance to go on a trip but I decided to stay home and enjoy it with my girlfriend. Whether students went to Florida, Europe, o r just relaxed at home, spring break was a vacation from the everyday demands of school. — Michelle Kies 30 Lifestyles Spring Break I 1 photo by Faith Smead Ts that Jodi Halt?

After that it was off to one of the nicer restaurants. The Moonraker, Peaches, Don Halls, and the Wharf were all very popular. The setting of the prom was the Auburn Cord Duesenburg Museu m. Music from Dr. Feelgood filled the ballroom as couples danced to the popular music of today. Table set- tings of the prom colors, pink and gray, were displayed beautifully as couples danced or snacked on mints, nuts and punch. Half-way through the evening the festivities were stopped for the long- awaited announcement of the king and queen. Crowned for the senior class were Shelly Craig and Kerry Clay. After prom couples dashed home for a quick change of clothes. After that it was off to parties, movies, or just driving around. As Kris Lovett said, What really happened you ' ll never know, but we really had a good time. The day after prom was another adventure in itself. Couples went to Pokagon, lake cottages, or got to- gether with friends. To most everyone, last years prom was a big success.

Each award not only symbolized a job well done, but gave a great feeling to each par- ticipant. However, the competitors were not the only ones who felt the accomplishment. As Dr. Steulpe stated, The Special Olympics pro- vide an opportunity for our students to help others and realize how lucky they are.

When the student ' jeans ' began to rip out at the seams, or their appe- tites were unsatisfiable, they knew it was time to cut down. One reason for shaping up was conditioning for storts. Athletes were faced with the challenge of be- ing the best they could be. This meant sore muscles, sweaty bodies, and hot weather practices. As Del Roth said about football, During weight training and two-day summer practices, the heat is unbearable, but other than that, it ' s rewarding and really worth the effort. There were many ways students could shape up. One was through DIETING, otherwise known as the curse. Those hunger pains seemed to go on endlessly and the Gr-rr-rr of the stomach never seemed to end. Fad diets such as eating six grape- fruits plus eight glasses of water a day was just one of the options a dieter had. Others were cutting out those Snickers and Twinkles, or sim- ply not eating. Besides not eating, there were oth- er ways to shrink inches. Aerobics was a fun type of exercise that com- bined fitness with music. Some stu- dents preferred other sports such as jogging or weight training. Bobbie Clay said, Jogging is a great way to get outdoors and burn calories at the same time. Whether the goal was to look good in a bathing suit or just to tune un- used muscles, eating the right foods and combining this with exercise made fitness easy and fun. — Michelle Kies — Karen Pfister Phil Neuhouser, flexing his muscles for the camera, shows what fitness has done for his physique, making all the hard work worth the effort.

For sen- iors it meant a year full of parking in the south lot and being first in the lunch line. Graduation seemed far away as they looked forward to their new schedules and the special events that they would be participating in. There were several of them who par- ticipated in the Grabill Fair. Many seniors also took part in the home- coming ceremonies. Seniors such as Dale Gerke, Troy Klopfenstein, and Kevin Delagrange were kept busy by basketball practices and games. Graduation still seemed out of sight and too far into the future to think about. December 1st, thoughts of Christ- mas and snow-days crowded the minds of these senior high students. Long-term assignments such as book reports, speeches, and term papers hung to them like a ball and chain. When one assignment ended, an- other was given. Julie Anderson put it best when she stated, Mr. Sto- ver ' s term paper was almost unbear- able since we had to complete it over Christmas break. Even though it seemed that the seniors wanted to be free from all of these mind-boggling tasks they were ignorant of how quickly graduation was creeping upon them. Snow days and Saturdays seemed more impor- tant as the year went on. May 14, prom had gone and time was passing quickly. Graduation an- nouncements had to be distributed and caps and gowns had to be or- dered in preparation for the final ceremony. These thoughts of graduation were mixed with the worries of final ex- ams. There was not time for procras- tination during this crucial week, but among all of this hustle and bustle were the sometimes forgotten friends of these seniors. When one sat down to think about what he or she would be leaving behind, he remembered all his friends, the rowdy times, fa- vorite teachers and all of the memo- ries that would be associated with school. They were almost sorry to leave, but then thoughts of new friends, new fun times, and a totally new school, or life, at that matter, were facing them. Mixed emotions filled the soon-to- be-graduated students ' minds. Feel- ings of sadness were felt from the senior boys and girls who were faced with the problems of leaving boy- friends and girlfriends behind. Curi- osity was felt from the graduating student who was anxious to dive into college and experience life on his own. Even happiness was felt from those students who were ecstatic to graduate and depart from the town that they had been stuck in all of their lives. There were yet more emo- tions, but sadness and grief were the most widespread. Graduation was not taken lightly at Leo, it was a turning point in the life of a young person eager to enter into the world and expand his or her knowledge. — Vincent Stovall Giving her valedictorian speech.

I — 42 —, Academics Division I I ACADEMICS We all expected a report card at the end of each nine weeks. We all formed an opin- ion of each teacher and each class. However, there were factors which changed the way we performed. A six-inch snow storm delayed a government test two days for seniors. Each teacher had his own style of teaching. Mr. Steinhouser was the shrewd mathematician, while Mr. Stover insisted that all sentences be diagrammed. While each teacher was different, each student also set his own pattern. For some, study in the commons with the radio on was the perfect way to memorize history, while others preferred the silence of the library to work out an algebra problem. Tests were also treated differently by each student. Some students spent much time in preparation by studying notes, reading, and memorizing, while others preferred cramming Tive minutes before class. Each different habit or new method gave basic clashes such as English, math and science an jinside connection as both students and teachers fit books and facts into parts of thtir daily lives.

Even though many students liked getting out of the classroom, some didn ' t like writing that long paper. David Shaw said, Writing re- search papers is time consuming and worthless. Miss Cathy Pochodzay, 9th grade English teacher, stated, Yes, doing research papers is time consuming, but it isn ' t worthless. It gives stu- dents an opportunity to learn a lot about one thing and it ' s good exper- ience. Once they go on to college, doing research papers becomes a routine thing and they ' ll have to do them in a shorter amount of time than they have for these in high school. There were those however, who did like writing research papers. They enjoyed it because it was more of an independent assignment than the regular classroom work. Stu- dents also got to write on subjects that they wanted to learn more about, but never did the research on their own and this gave them the chance. Research papers were not the only long writing assignments students had. There were also book reports in which books had to be read and re- ports had to be written. Something else that took time was writing com- positions, but these in many ways also helped in preparation for col- lege. As one can see, the writing that seemed time consuming and worth- less to some could be useful, espe- cially if a student was college bound. — Missy Sutton m i During the first pari of Ihc semester in Eng- lish Literature, Mrs. Carolyn Piatt talks to her students about what they are going to be studying during the semester.

All Work, No Play Looking through microscopes, weighing sinkers on force measures, and viewing ecology films were just a few of the many things the science classes did last year. A new class, advanced chemistry, was added to the science program last year. The class was taught by Mrs. Lynne Marquardt. There were 16 juniors and seniors who took the course. The students who took this course had to have maintained an A or B average in regular chemistry. Chris Grabowski, a senior, said, I learned a lot of new things and it ' s amazing what reactions happen. Advanced chemistry was like reg- ular chemistry, but went into further detail. The students who took this course might have wanted to prepare for their further in medicine. Then again there were others who just liked science and they wanted to try their luck at advanced chemistry. This was a full year course and the study time needed was just about the same as regular chemistry. The first semester was spent with only one third of the time in labs, but the sec- ond semester included more lab time. Amy Grayless said. It ' s a good course, you learn a lot, but it isn ' t for anyone who wants a social life out of school. — Missy Sutton I 49 1 Academics Science Taking dictation from a cassette tape Kim Grubcr finishes llie assignment for 5th period shorthand class.

Academics Business I I Entering The Business World Business courses helped to provide skills to many students. When they looked for jobs, they were able to seek better jobs and were more qualified than some. Various machines were used last year in the office practice class. The Apple II word processor and tran- scribing and ditto machines were just a few of the ones the class worked with. In this class they learned about filing and dressing appropriately for a job. They also investigated careers, and the duties of a secretary were taught. Mrs. Ann Linson thought consum- er economics, business law, cooper- ative office education, and a second year of typing should have been taught. Unfortunately, a cut-back in teachers forced the business depart- ment to drop several classes. In addi- tion, office practice was extended to one year instead of one semester. Shorthand courses were useful to college-bound students. These stu- dents expected the class to help tre- mendously in note taking. A secre- tarial person could make more mon- ey if they took shorthand. said Mrs. Linson. How to handle money properly was one of the major things Mr. Robert Shaw taught his general business students. They learned how to save money and how to spend it wisely. They also learned about types of insurance and how to plan weekly budgets. Linda Wiblin said, Plan- ning out weekly budgets is just one of the many things we did in that class. One of the fun things we did was throw paper wads when Mr. Shaw wasn ' t looking. Many students fell that taking business classes would make their job seeking in the business world much easier. — Nicki Jenks — Missy Sutton pholo by Tim Glenn Using the band saw, Kevin Delagrange accu- rately makes curves in his gun rack for indus- trial arts class.

Home economics was a require-, ment for seventh graders. The eighth graders had a choice between home ec. and industrial arts. Popular industrial arts classes were archictectural drawing and woodworking. Mr. Phil Stuckey said, Architec- tural drawing is the drawing of house construction parts and mechanical drawing is the drawing of nuts, bolts, blocks, and more. The textbook was not used much in drafting. If one spent his time wisely, he probably wouldn ' t have had any homework since much of the class was hands-on experience. Besides industrial arts classes, the foods class was easy too if students studied. Mrs. Shirley Schmidt said, They cook about every eight days in high school classes. During the Christmas season, senior high students made candy and the junior high made cookies. Deanie DeLaBarre said, Foods is a fun class to take when you are with your friends. As well as foods class Mrs. Julie Manger and Mrs. Schmidt taught sewing. The seventh graders made duffle bags while the eighth graders made jogging suits. The senior high decided as a group what to make. Before enrolling in home ec. or ind. arts class each student had to meet requirements. Whether it was taking an introductory class or pass- ing a drivers license test, students took the necessary steps and learned how to cook, sew, draw, build, and repair. — Nicki Jenks — Missy Sutton I 3 — Academics Skills Putting Creative Minds To Good Use Art covered a variety of areas. For example, Mr. Mike Bearman taught ceramics and seventh grade art classes. Mrs. Mary Lou Holbrook taught photography, painting, and seventh and eighth grade art classes. Mr. Bearman and Mrs. Hol- brook ' s classes did pottery, molding, hand building, design drawing, painting and a whole lot more. Many students wanted to become involved in art, but they felt they did not have that artistic touch. Howev- er, Mrs. Holbrook said, You don ' t have to have any special talent to take art. It ' s like shooting a basket- ball, all it takes is practice. If a student wanted a career in art. he could plan to attend an art school. Ten percent of all jobs were art relat- ed. The type of field determined the number of years in school such as television, commercials, teaching, fashion designer, newspaper adver- tisement, and photography. Each of these careers required from two to four years at an art school. All art classes required a student to use his imagination and break the normal routine of regular class. Each student had his own opinion of art as expressed by Paul West, It ' s a fun class and we get to use our imagina- tion. — Nicki Jenks photos by Rene Castalor Art students Dan Osborn and Sheri Clouse look over Lisa Huntington ' s shoulder to find out her secret techniques. — 54 — Academics Art Dabbing her paini brush into the colors of the rainbow, Paula West tries to complete her picture before the class ends.

Practice Makes Perfect The students who took band had to devote a lot of time to improve their skills. Besides the normal one hour of class time, those who were in jazz band had to spend some of their project periods practicing. The band also practiced during the summer. Before a concert they were usually found playing in the band room to warm up. They received a new song about once a month. It took around four weeks or less to master a song, depending on how long a student practiced. Mr. Kevin Drew said, The only difference between high school and junior high is that the high school band performs more and can learn faster. The band students performed sec- tionals about once every two weeks. Sectionals determined what seat or- der they sat in by how well they per- formed in playing and comprehend- ing. Mr. Drew said, I grade the stu- dents on attendance, attitude, and performance ability. A student ' s ability could improve if they will take time and practice and the help of a private teacher will help. Bart Albright said, It can be a good career if people like what they do. I really enjoy band and working with the sound equipment. Band was more than just an easy class to most, it was a source of per- forming, a way to gain experience and grow in musical maturity. — Nicki Jenks 56 Academics Band Scvcnlh firadc Band: 1 ront row; Rick Vlishlcr.

Howev- er, if one took a closer look, he would see and hear things that he could not find anywhere else in the school. He would not see desks or books, but folders. These folders were used to hold the only material needed for all of the choir classes. The materials that were held in the folders were simply sheets of music. This music was analyzed thoroughly, practiced, and by the time of performance, was required to be memorized. There were five choirs in all; swing choir, concert choir, girl ' s glee club, and the two junior high choirs. Each choir learned and performed sepa- rate numbers. Sometimes being in choir meant spending time out of school working. There were always performances that students were required to attend and they were held after school. Also, there was ISSMA, Indiana State School Music Association. This was a contest for vocal and pi- ano solos and ensombles. This con- test required a lot of time and prep- aration out of school. It was also held on Saturday. Swing choir was also held either before or after school and sometimes during project period. One member of swing choir, Kurt Schlatter, said, Some of the practices were long and hard, but when we got it all to- gether, it was worth it. — Mary Pfister Junior High Band: From row; Richard Busch, Michelle Rhoades.

Grinning And Bearing It For some students physical educa- tion was something to look forward to, but for others it was dreaded. Mary Pfister said, I really like volleyball, but basketball is the worst for me. A survey taken showed that the least liked activities ranged from the whole thing to taking showers to square dancing and running. Then there were those who liked going to p.e. and went beyond what was required of them and took ad- vanced p.e. Brian Liechty said, Advanced p.e. is a lot more fun than regular p.e. because we get to go on field trips to learn different sports. Advanced p.e. was fun for most. They did many different things than the junior high and p.e. 1 and 2. The advanced class went on field trips to the YMCA to swim and play rac- quetball. They also went on a canoe- ing trip up and down Twin Rivers. In the spring they took a bicycle trip to Garrett, In. and back for a total of about 40 miles. But, with everthing that ' s positive there are some negatives. While some students loved p.e., others hated it. Nevertheless, it was re- quired for one year. Whether they were suffering and getting through it or loving every second, p.e. was part of all student ' s lives. — Missy Sutton As Donna Meyers finishes the obstacle course, she realizes the horror of getting over that last hurdle to finish.

Learning a New Tongue pholo by Scolt Hcpic Even though Mrs. Gerodine Don- ahue came to this school last year, she and Miss Mary Rhynard had some of the same ways of teaching their foreign language classes. Some techniques used were practicing skits, singing songs, and going on field trips. Vincent Stovall said, The field trips that we attended helped the whole class to experience Latin- American culture. Mrs. Donahue said, Skits are very useful and interesting. Students are the best judges of what real-life situations they may encounter and they need to learn vocabulary for those situations also. Mrs. Donahue added, A book presents the material, but the teach- er can only show, it is up to the stu- dent to learn what he has been shown. In German, the students didn ' t al- ways use the text book. They did much of what the Spanish classes did plus they did reports on culture and the country. Some colleges required students to have taken some kind of foreign lan- guage. Both languages could have been used in teaching, medical fields, translating, the military, res- taurants, government work and many other fields in the future. Nicki Jenks 63 Academics I Languages I Holding On To The Past Once a week a map was pulled down and two students were called to the map. Then, Mr. Lyle Butler would suddenly call out a state or something to do with the chapter they were studying. The champion would then get a new challenger un- til he was defeated. This was the map game that everyone looked forward to. The map game was only one of the many ways that Mr. Butler tried to teach the students about land forms and encourage them to study maps. They usually went through a chap- ter in a week with one or two tests. They gave oral reports on assigned topics about twice a year. They also gave oral reports and did worksheets for extra credit. Geography and U.S. History both had great value, but U.S. History was probably more beneficial in un- derstanding our world as it was. His- tory was the story of our country that was important for every student to know. The students had several guest speakers. Some of the speakers talked on economics, others spoke on law and courts. Last year the students were proud that Mr. Bill Kerbel received the Golden Apple Award for outstand- ing teaching. He taught World His- tory and alternative classes. Mr. Allen Schlatter said, This year we have been doing special pro- jects on news reporting. This helps us on a day to day knowledge of our country. History was facts that every stu- dent learned about our country such as the good things we have accom- plished and the errors we have made. — Nick] Jenks This junior high social studies class takes im- portant facts from their text book to use for stiidying for an upcoming test.

Studies I ■1 i orts Wc all know wflat it means to be com- mitted to a sport, participants and specta- tors alike had to follow rules and regula- tions. We all expected to grow and benefit from each sport. However, there were factors which changed the way we looked at each sport. They were connections which gave us new insights. Sacrifices such as giving up a piece of chocolate cake in order to make weight before a wrestling meet made wres- tling a sport of determination. Losing a basketball game was different when we yelled and screamed the whole game and then lost by two points. One needed to view more than just watching a game to appreciate the hard work involved in each performance. All the pain and self-denial endured gave each sport an inside connection as we changed the pattern for the game and gave the rules new meaning. :, SW Gymnastics is a sporl luB of concentration and deter- mination.

Using his time wisely during project period, Tim Shaw practices up on the fundamentals of basketball. — 68 — Sports Feature Filling In The Gaps Some play for the fun of it; for others, it was exercise. Many used it as practice time or just to polish up on fundamentals. Although they all participated in different activities, they were the people who enjoyed sports in their spare time. When the good ole ' summertime rolled around, flashes of sandy beaches came to mind. At the beach- es there were people swimming, boating, and taking long walks in hopes of getting the perfect tan. Many went to the park and played basketball or threw around the foot- ball. Some went into the gym and worked with weights or took gym- nastics lessons. Many, like national archery cham- pion, Kraig Brown, used their spare time for practice. When asked why he enjoyed archery, he reported. I do it because it ' s fun and good exer- cise. Although summer meant free time, winter was a time of snow, ice, and Christmas vacation. Things such as cross-country and downhill skiing, hockey, and snowmobilling were just a few examples of winter activities that people got involved with in their spare time. I play hockey because I like it. In the future I hope to play on a pro- team. replied Dick Reed when asked what sport he liked to do in his spare time. Instead of drinking hot chocolate. sitting by the fire place and singing Christmas carols, winter and every season for others became a time to c find a great exercise. Obtaining that - exercise meant for some walking in t the woods or engaging in a snowball f fight.

The reserve team this year pulls through a great 5-1 record. 70 Sports Football The Name Of The Gam e Unity, togetherness, and taking pride in their woric were just a few things the 1983 football team got out of the game. As head coach Bill Bol- lier stated, This year was very im- portant in developing a winning atti- tude and establishing a unity toward a common cause. The 40 reserve and varsity players fought hard all season and pulled through a 5-5 varsity overall record and a 5-1 reserve overall record. Some of this seasons highlights were defeating Churubusco and almost getting into the play-offs. Although the team lost the home- coming game, they made up for it by having one of the better season re- cords within the last few years. The new cluster system helped Leo as well as some of the other smaller schools. This should help them in fu- ture years, We had a good year, but it could have been better. .Said Mike Per- kins, who was a senior on the varsity team. When it came to the 1983 Lions Football Club, teamwork; which in- cluded a winning attitude and Lion pride was the name of the game. — Mary .Minich photo by Rene Caslator VARSITY and RESERVE FOOTBALL: (first row); Manager Mike Witt.

No, it was not The Twilight Zone , or The Fretter Zone , it was the end zone. This was where the seventh, eighth, and freshmen foot- ball teams strived and gained exper- ience. The freshmen football team worked hard and turned out a season record of 4-2. One of the biggest highlights of the year was their first home game in which they smashed Churubusco 48-0. This game and new coach Tim Zink, brought high hopes for a new winning season in the zone. Leading the eighth grade football team, coach Ron Crosby stated, They are perhaps the finest group of gentlemen I have ever worked with . Although they worked as a team and showed their endless spirit, they finished their season with one tie and five losses. Even though we didn ' t win any, I felt we accomplished something in learning how to work together, re- marked the MVP Dain Bufe. The seventh grade team, despite the season record of 1-5, gained the experience needed to help them for the seasons of the future. So, the next time you ' re thinking of The Twilight Zone , or seeing The Fretter Zone commercial, don ' t think of refrigerators or blast- ing off into some unknown cosmos, think of the seventh, eighth, and freshmen football teams who worked hard for each victory. — Mary Minich r r — I I « I MPS h pholo by Rene Castalor SEVENTH GRADE FOOTBALL: (front row): Kurt Frederick.

S .. J-J r— 74 , Sports Volleyball Hitting The Nets A big white ball, a net tied up between two posts, and six players on a team; what sport had all that? Well, the answer was volleyball. The boys ' varsity volleyball team had a rough season and finished with a record of 2- 1 0. Their two wins were against New Haven. The team was made up of four seniors, six juniors, and four sopho- mores. Darin Roth, a senior, and Randy Miller, a junior, were the only two returning varsity players. Mike Dwyer, Keith Martin, and Daryl McConnell were brought up from the reserves to play varsity. Daryl McConnell stated, I thought we improved a lot during the year. We had a lot of ups and downs, but we should have won a lot more games than we did. Wait till next year! Darin Roth was chosen as the Most Valuable Player. Mark Han- derson was named All-Conference. The team placed fourth in the Conference Tournament. They also participated in the State Invitational Tournament held at Westview. The reserve team did no better. They ended their season with no wins and four losses. The reserve team was made up of three juniors, five sophomores, and two freshmen. Ray Miller, a junior, along with three sophomores; Jim Antil, Tim Hadley, and Wiley Kite returned to play on the reserve team. The key factor to the poor season record seemed to be the lack of ex- perience since all but two players were new to varsity competition. Daryl McConnell exclaimed. Wait till next year.

For the girls varsity and the reserve volleyball teams, practice started before the school year even began. Practicing may not have made perfect, but ex- perience, attitudes, and skills were improved. For both teams, the season was rough. These dedicated groups of girls not only took time out of their summer vacation, but also put up with the record-high heat during practices. Our warm-ups at practice were different since our Coach Randee Robinson went to Arnie Ball ' s Camp at lUPU and saw how they worked out, replied varsity player Kim Gruber when asked about practice. The varsity team had a record of 1-16. Many of their matches were dragged out to three sets in which the girls barely lost. An example of this was their highlight of the season, beating Garrett. The reserve team, which consisted of four sophomores and seven fresh- men, also had a rough season. Al- though they stuck together, they ended up with the record of 0-15. This year ' s Jr. High varsity girls surpassed a lot of teams in years past. Not only did they have the sea- son record of 7-2, but they also won the ACAC. Some of the highlights of the season were beating Heritage in the tourney and beating Huntertown for the first time in four years. The Jr. High reserve team showed hope for the seasons to come. Forty sets, 44 spikes, and 368 good serves were just a few examples of the fu- ture Lion teams. The Jr. High teams worked hard and had their minds on the game all of the time, stated Jr. player Dawn Oliver. Although practicing was impor- tant, experience and a great attitude brought out the best in all four teams. — Mary Minich — Celeste Schaefer 76 Sports Volleyball JR.

The sharp sound of the gun broke the stillness and sent the cross-country runners on their way. As the runners pushed themselves along the course, they were unaware of the mass of colors projected by the trees and spectators that lined their route. Their minds instead, were to- tally on the rhythm of each step. The long monotonous run, typical of cross-country would soon be re- placed by the anticipation of the fi- nal sprint at the finish line. According to Coach Dubach, The team lacked the necessary con- ditioning they needed. Paul Lash said, I thought the season could have been successful if we had more people. There were six boys on the team. Their goal for the season was to beat Heritage and Churubusco. JR. HIGH GIRLS ' CROSS-COUNTRY: Amy Clay, Coach Ann Linson, Erin Barker. JR.

Then they prac- ticed five days a week for the last two-thirds of the season. They ran in the warm and cold weather. The high school girls cross-coun- try team had a successful season. They finished the season with a re- cord of 8-1 and an overall record of 86-24. Nora Cook, the only senior on the team, and Amy Williams were cap- tains of the team. Practices started early in August and they practiced twice a day. They practiced in the rain, cold, hot, and very humid weather. The team worked hard together and individ- ually. Mrs. Linson, coach of the cross- country team, involved the team in a little fun along with the hard work. Coach Linson took the girls on a camping trip to Chain O ' Lakes to kick off the season. At Chain O ' Lakes, they participated in an in- tersquad meet. Mrs. Linson was a special coach because she went out of her way to do things for us. quoted Amy Wil- liams.

After all, a golfer tried to get a ball into a small hole using a club, whereas the goals of a tennis player involved making a dif- ferent kind of ball go over a net and stay on the opponents court. Some similarities in both golf and tennis were they both had new coaches. The new coach of the boys tennis team was Mike Mommer and the new coach of the girls golf team was Jerry Amstutz. Both teams were also smaller. Mr. Mommer said, I felt we played better than our record repre- sented. The tennis team had six exper- ienced players and four beginners on the team. Their record was 1-11. Vince Stovall commented, This year we had our season faults. But, next year I predict we will have the potential to be the best in our confer- ence. The golf team was even smaller with only five players. There were two seniors, Cindy Nlorris and Rhonda Kiefer. Cindy Morris had played for three years. Senior Rhonda Kiefer along with three sophomores, Kim Fitzgerald, Shelly Miller, and Jane Recce played for two years. Their season record was 2-8. The team placed tenth out of fifteen teams in Sectionals. They had low season scores with a team score of 189. Shelly Miller had an individual low season score of 44. Kim Fitzgerald had a 53.8 low match average. Cindy Morris stated, I had more fun playing on the 1983 golf team than on the ones in the past. We had a terrific coach and we all had great attitudes. These two teams had a lot of young players who will be able to keep swinging their clubs and rack- ets in the future. Summing up the season.

Everybody loved a Friday night, especially during a basketball season when there was a home game. At six thirty, the excitement began as re- serve players battled for a victory. The thrill continued to rise as the gym filled for the varsity game. The cheerleaders made a tunnel for the basketball players to run through while the band played and the crowd shouted. Then everyone began to yell for the Lions. The varsity boys pulled together a season record of 10 wins and 12 losses. Along with two new players, ten players came back to connect old experience with the new. Injuries made playing during the first part of the season impossible for Dale Gerke and Jon Shade. Without these two lettermen, the team was left with only players moving up from the reserve. However, a major goal was to improve with each game. By the end of the season, the team reached this goal by becoming one of the top teams in the area. Highlights of the season were beating a very good Lakeland team and beating Southern Wells late in the season. Coming within two points of beating Woodian in the A.C.A.C. Tourney was a great effort shown by the players. The players pushed their way through Sectionals by running over Angola and nipping Rastside on a second shot by Dale Gerke. The reserve team, which ended with a 7-13 season record, had 12 young players plus a new coach. Among those 12, Jeff Kimbel, Daryl McConnell, and Randy L. Miller were the team ' s leading performers. Jeff was leading scorer; Daryl, lead- ing rebounder; and Randy, leading free throw shooter. A highlight of the season was hav- ing the best game of the year by beating Woodian on their floor. With the end of basketball season, attention was turned to movies or going to Glenbrook Square.

Not only did the Lady Lions gain experience and build their attitudes, but they also had that special something that made playing all worth while. That something extra was teamwork. Forming new friendships, learning to look at life with a posittive atti- tude and improving skills and knowl- edge of the rules all helped the re- serve and varsity teams to win in ways which most people didn ' t see. Although the varsity team stuck together, they ended up with a sea- son record of 3-18. This team con- sisted of three seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and four freshman. This included the players who alter- nated between the varsity and the reserve teams. The varsity also picked up some awards for their senior members. Lori Caswell, starting center, had the most rebounds for the season, and she also received an ACAC hon- orable mention. Starting guard Tif- fany Healy, picked up the award for the best freethrow shooter and the most assists award for the season. Our three seniors probably im- proved the most. By the end of the season they were playing a nice solid game, replied varsity Coach Mike Hey when asked about this season accomplishments. For the reserve team the year was rough.

Although they learned the fundamentals of basketball, they had a season record of 4-6. We learned a lot. As the season went on, we got better, stated Beth Fogle, a forward for the seventh grade.

Highlights of the season were hav- ing a wrestler place second in State, having more ACAC Champs (5) than any Conference school, placing second in Conference, placing sec- ond in Sectionals, and having the best year in nine years of Leo wres- tling. Many factors played a part in the Jr. High wrestling meets, such as bad weather, which cancelled three meets. Besides all the losses, the team gained valuable experience which went to show that winning wasn ' t everything. — Kris Mosier Working hard for a pin.

A lot of practice plus determination plus a few sore muscles equalled great gymnastic teams. Although their practices weren ' t at all like other teams, they worked just as hard. To start the season, the High School gymnasts had two weeks of conditioning in which they ran one to three miles. From then on, it was three hour practices. For the Jr. High team, conditioning, which consisted of running and exercising, began the season. After that, they had regular one and a half hour practices. The High School team suffered some injuries. Some examples were when Janice Glenn hurt her shoul- der, and Aimee Richards injured her ankle. Other more serious injuries in- cluded senior Renee Butt, who just before sectionals, hyperextended her knee and Christi Meyer broke her ankle falling from the bars. Last year ' s optional team had the record of 8-5. The team accom- plished several things. Deb Short, Melissa Schimmoller, Beth Witte, and Aimee Richards all participated in sectionals. Out of these girls, only Beth Witte went on to compete in regionals on the balance beam. These girls also kept up the Lion tra- dition by winning the schools ninth A.C.A.C. title. Even though we lost some good gymnasts, we gained new talent that helped pull the team together. We ended up with a good season and proved we could win the A.C.A.C. again. stated optional sophomore Melissa Schimmoller. The intermediate team had the season record of 11-2.

The Jr. High team had the record of 5-1. Although most schools com- bined their two teams, Leo ' s gym- nastics squad was lucky enough to have an A and a B team. Out of the 18 players, only two were eighth graders; Alison Keller and Amy Miller. Although we were a team of little experience, we turned it around and had a great season, said top all- around gymnast Amy Miller when asked about this years team. The formula was simple, yet hard to achieve. But last year ' s gymnastic teams, proved that it could be done. — Mary Minich 93 Sports Gvmnastics I : 1 Breaking Records BOYS ' HIGH SCHOOL TRACK Won 29 Lost 9 BOYS ' JR.

Yes, what was just described was the high school boys track team. Their season this year improved by them having an overall record of 29 wins and 9 losses. Ted Hewitt stated, The team did pretty good considering Norwell. They always beat us. The distance team has been improving since last year. We needed more people. This team had a lot of outstanding athletes. Jeff Kimbel was picked as MVP of the team. David Cartwright was voted as Outstanding Sprinter. Dale Gerke and Phil Neuhouser were named Outstanding Field Event Co-Holders. Many of the highlights this season were having Jeff Kimbel set a low hurdle record of 38.85 seconds; Dale Gerke set a pole vault record of 15 ' ! ; and Phil Neuhouser set a dis- cus record of 144 ' l ' 2 . The team placed third of nine at the Heritage Relays; fourth of eleven at the Carroll Relays; third of five at the Woodlan Relays; and second of eight at the ACAC Conference meet. The weather had been the worst overall weather for track that Coach Walton can remember in more than 25 years of track coach- ing. The junior high track team pulled in a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. They placed fifth in the ACAC meet. Dan Dubea was elected as MVP of the team. He helped the team in the conference meet with a double win in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter run. With the efforts of these boy ' s teams, the coaches had a reason to call them outstanding athletes.

The girls were divided into three groups. Coach Mike Bear- man worked with sprinters. Coach Don Greer worked with girls in field events, and Coach Ann Linson worked with distance runners. For the first part of February, practices were held three days a week for sprinters and four days a week for distance runners. Later on in the month, the girls practiced five days a week. At practice, the sprinters ran a lot of sprints and practiced leaping over the hurdles. The field events partici- pants worked on weights to build up their muscles. Longjumpers spent some time working on the spring- board so they could get a good leap. LaDena Keller stated, It was hard work. To me ' it was inspiring. Distance runners worked just as hard as the other two groups; only they worked in a different way. The photo by Daryl McConnell girls ran up to two or three miles a day. Sometimes they were pushed to run more. A lot of practices were spent running in the halls due to cold and wet weather. The weather was bad for all the meets. Every track meet except for one, was cold and windy. The girls wore shirts under their uniforms to keep them comfortable, while the coaches wore their winter coats. I hope next year will be better. Maybe if the team worked together rather than individually, the team would have done better. noted Cheryl Cartwright. With a team made up of two sen- iors, two juniors, ten sophomores, and six freshmen, their record ended with wins and 1 1 losses. Amy Wil- liams played a big part in helping the team to gain points since she was voted MVP of the distance group. Tammy Witt also helped the team by being MVP of the field events group. A lot of admiration goes to those few girls who were dedicated and re- sponsible, and those few who didn ' t complain and worked to improve themselves and the team. It was a long, rough season for everyone. Thanks to all those who didn ' t quit! expressed Coaches Bearman, Lin- son, and Greer. The junior high girls had a suc- cessful season. They had a season record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Terri Bryan was the MVP for the team. She finished first in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter run in all the meets including the ACAC. Angle Collins was also voted MIP of the team. The team finished fifth in the ACAC Conference meet. Even though the weather was not the best and the practices were hard, most of the girls who ran in seventh grade will be ready for eighth next year. The eighth grade girls will also be ready to advance to the next level — the senior high track team. — Kris Mosier GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL TR. CK Won Lost 1 I GIRLS ' JR.

Playing as singles, hitting the ball, and using sayings such as love and par were just a few examples. Even though the teams had these similar interests, both had better traits. They had great attitudes and sports- manship. For the boys golf team, the season was tough. Although the team fin- ished seventh in ACAC and twelfth in the Sectional, they ended the sea- son with a record of four wins and nine losses. Brad Frederick, who had the low match average of 42.5, was the first sophomore in Leo ' s history to qualify for Regionals. When asked why he liked golf, Vince Stovall replied, It ' s competi- tive and there ' s no way a person who gets lucky can win. It takes skill and know-how. The girls tennis team had a rough season and ended up with the record of five wins and ten losses. The team consisted of three seniors, three ju- niors, four sophomores, and nine freshmen. The team ' s Most Valuable Player was Gretchen Strasser, who was half of the number one doubles team. When asked why she enjoyed ten- nis, Lisa Yoder, the other half of the number one doubles team, replied, I learned a lot, it is enjoyable, and my friends are in it. Even though the tennis and golf teams had sayings and ways of play- ing in common, they shared better and more important similar things.

Diamonds In The Rough Having had to put up with the weather and an undeveloped playing field, the boys baseball team used teamwork and winning attitudes to overcome those problems and turn out an even season. The baseball team ended the sea- son with ten wins and ten losses. Some of the years highlights were; wins over DeKalb, Garrett and East- side, a seven-run inning against Nor- well involved three homeruns, and a seventeen to sixteen win over Wood- Ian which included seven team ho- meruns. Jon Shade, third baseman as well as a pitcher, set a new record of twelve homeruns in one season. When 4sked about the team and it ' s future, Assistant Coach Kirk Clark replied, If the team has the desire, they should put it together next year for conference and section- al contenders. If we can beef up our fielding and continue our hitting it will all pay off. The team consisted of one senior, six juniors, four sophomores, and three freshmen. I like baseball because I ' ve been playing it since I was seven years old, replied freshman Gary Laird when asked why he enjoyed baseball. The weather and the conditions of our ballpark at the beginning of this season may have brought the team down a little. However, the boys baseball team picked themselves up and turned out great attitudes, team- work and an even record. Mary Minich BOYS B.A.SEB.A.LL Won 10 Lost 10 I 101 1 Sports Baseball I .

The fornmat of each meeting was changed as new officers used their new ideas. Money was even a harder question as options for fund-raisers were limited by a new schedule. Having dances, selling can- dy, and even having a garage sale were all ways used by clubs to buy pins, pay for materials, and finance field trips. On Tuesday, Mr. Gabet ' s room was filled with student council members who were ready to organize events, while every Wednesday interested skiiers met in Mr. Crosby ' s room to discuss winter weather.

It was mastered around the world, then was passed on to future generations. The Leo Chess Club learned chess through two meth- ods. One way was the traditional way; learning from another person. The second way was learning from a computer. Computers were programmed to any level of difficulty that was desired. Chess Club members started out on the computers and practiced until competition between students began. The chess club consisted of ten active Jr. High mem- bers. They met every Tuesday during project period to compete for ranks on a championship ladder. Mr. Ron Noyer, sponsor of the club, felt the two top players were Todd Lothamer and Jason Pence, who showed they had mastered their skills and were both competitive oppo- nents. In the near future, the chess club would have to face the problem of losing competing project period time because of the new school schedule. Nevertheless, chess club would not be the only club effected by the time cuts. The computer club would also be losing time. Last year the computer club, under Mr. Ron Crosby, raised funds for purchasing computer accessories. Even though the computer club had problems meeting, the computers were almost always in use. Many students . worked on graphics and making games that were sparked in their imagination. Chess and computers were two different kinds of tools: one of which was advanced enough to play games, the other taught skills of tradition long in the making. — Celeste Schaefer Putting in extra time to finish a program.

But, mass cheering was as old as the history of war. Way back in ancient times, crowds of excited people lined the route of return- ing warriors to cheer their conquests. It is difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint the origins of modern cheerleading as we know it. However, we do know that people had been cheering for the past centur- ies: clear up to last year. For the seventh graders it was their first year. Many of them were excited about that, as Heather MacQueen quoted, I ' ve always wanted to be a cheerleader. I finally got to be one! The eighth grade cheerleaders enjoyed their second year of cheerleading and were looking forward to cheer for high school. One such cheerleader was Stephanie Diemer who said, I had lots of fun through the year. I really enjoyed getting together with other cheerleaders. I also liked it when we all got psyched up for a game by yelling and screaming. The ninth grade cheerleaders cheered for the ninth grade teams and the reserve. But, no matter who they cheered for, they all had a lot of school spirit. The goal was to get everybody involved. That they did. To help boost school spirit, the reserve and varsity cheerleading squad went to camps. Tracy Busch said. Cheerleading is fun, but a lot of hard work. Molly Cook added. Cheerleading is fun. But, there is a lot more to cheer- leading than a lot of people think. The cheerleaders put on spirit skits, sponsored spirit activities, cheered the guys on, and got the crowd involved. 109 Clubs Cheerleaders I I RESERVE A CHEERLEADERS Shelly Barker, Aimee Richards.

Working With No Pay Running errands, checking movies, and signing books in and out were all part of the job for the office, audio- visual and library workers. With the choice of a quiet, somewhat boring study- hall, or the chance to get around and talk, some students elected the excitement of an errand life. Tom Dykhuizen. an a.v. worker gave his reason for making this choice when he said I can ' t stand having to be quiet. Study- halls just weren ' t my scene. There was always time to take a break if nothing had to be done; either talking, finishing up homework, or studying for an upcoming test. The main reason for this free time was that there were always plenty of volunteers coming in. At various times throughout the year, the main office and guidance departments had anywhere from 25 to 30 workers. The library also had 25 to 30 students working, including the nine a.v. students. Each student doing his own thing kept the mix-ups ' s down and most everything running smoothly. Some only worked first semester, some only the second and others worked all year. They did a variety of jobs ranging from delivering films to organizing books to picking up attendance forms and answering telephones. Each student gained experience by getting needed jobs done on time, following directions, and being able to stay ahead of the next days work load.

Keys To Success Being on the varsity wrestling or track team not only meant holding an important position on the team. Much time, hard work, and determination were required to achieve this position. To show this accomplishment, each player was awarded a letter if he performed up to a certain level. These requirements were different for each sport. Although players of each sport were awarded letters for their accomplishments, trackettes and matmaids helped make wrestling matches and track meets possible. The trackettes helped the track team by doing any- thing from setting up all of the equipment for the meets, to standing at the finish line and rooting the runners on. They also helped run the clocks and measure distances on the shotput and long jump. The trackettes also helped raise money for the track team by selling candy. Matmaids job consisted of anything from mopping and setting up mats for home matches to insignificant things such as giving the wrestlers oranges after they wrestled. The matmaids also had the job of giving out well-earned ribbons to the wrestlers. Also the matmaids were always ready to cheer for the wrestlers when only a small crowd showed up.

A Task for the Taking Ever heard the expressions fun and games and the popular 9 to 5 ? Well, in their own ways these expres- sions could have been used to describe the Marine Biol- ogy, and Honor Society Clubs. Both marine biology, and honor society requried time to study and a special interest in learning. For marine biology students a interest in marine life and diving was needed. In class, marine biology students were tested on slide identification, and various other written tests were taken throughout the year. Unlike the other classes, marine biology students had the choice of going to Florida either in the fall or in the spring. After they had reached destination Florida it was off to the beaches, souvenir shops, and of course, Disney World. Once I got past the tests and garbage, I could look foreward to Florida, that was one thing on my mind during the tests. Keith Pass- water explained. Honor society was a demanding club on each individ- ual involved. For high school members some of the re- quirements were three leadership offices, extracurricular activities, and the approval of their teachers. The club usually met on Wednesdays where they elected officers and planned the annual Honor Society Banquet. Marine biology and Honor society had their rewards. Marine biology students expanded their knowledge and applied it throughout the year, while continuously learn- ing more. For honor society members, their hours of studying was recognized at banquets and assemlies. Whether marine biology was all fun and games, or honor society a 9 to 5 job with the books, depended on the student. Dan Osborns ' feelings on honor society were Although it was hard work, it gave me a feeling of satisfaction to be a member. The same feeling might have been true for marine biology or any other club that required self-discipline. — Celeste Schaefer Using her extra study time, honor society member, Chris Gragowski, checks a reference material in the library. 116 Clubs Marine Biology MARINE BIOLOGY; f front ro j Cn-AOr Vcndy McDanicl.

For example, the biggest problem for the senior class officers was trying to plan and organize a fund raiser, for the empty treasury. The idea of an in-school garage sale came up and it was used. Students went home and searched through their rooms, closets, garages, and dusty attics; for items to sell. The high school commons was filled with all kinds of odds and ends, that were donated. Even though it wasn ' t as profitable as the class wanted, they had money in the treasury. The main worry of the Junior class was prom. Finding the right place and the right music were the main con- cerns of the juniors. They sweated over nothing because their choices in everything proved to be good ones, along with prom being as successful as hoped. Dealing with the trash problem the sophomore class officers planned a can and paper drive. They accepted donations and went around to different neighbor hoods getting into all the trash they could. President, Jeff Kim- ble said, It was a dirty job but we needed the money. Finally, the freshman class officers filled their time planning homecoming and class tourney events. Everyth- ing from purple and white candy canes to posters and swallowing toothpaste was involved. Jon Shade said it best when he commented on the Junior class officers. Since we had so many junior pro- jects to finish, I feel that they did an adequate job.

Before The Lights Go On As the lights dimmed, the play began and the audience entered into another world. Although the ticket stubs said the play began that night, it had really begun months before. Before opening night, there were sets being built, cos- tumes being fitted, and lighting being practiced to per- fection. But, even before the decision on the play was made or who would act or create the set. Drama Club came into the picture. The Drama Club did more than just plays. One activ- ity was going down to Indianapolis for a drama work- shop. While in Indianapolis, they performed panto- mimes, group skits, readings, and exercises. What was worked on before the play was really what the audience saw and applauded for. So next time you think about the Drama Club, instead of thinking plays, remember the after school work and planning that took more guts than glory.

They were Art, Newspaper, Photography, and Yearbook staffs. These staffs were all under the pressure of deadlines, editing, and the problem of It ' s not quite right. Draw- ings were resketched, stories rewritten, and pictures re- printed. Mrs. Holbrook felt that each of her classes (photography and art) was a get-a-way or a break from the regular classes because it wasn ' t computing or spell- ing, it was imagination combined with talent. Photography was a way for some to express themselves without using pencil and brush. It also gave those who were talented in art a chance to improve their skill. Tim Glenn, a senior photographer, said It may take a long time to get a good picture, but when you see the picture in the yearbook it ' s all worth while. Newspaper and yearbook had their problems too. Both staffs were faced with time schedules to meet, school events to cover, and editors to please. To complete a school paper or a yearbook, many students found it necessary to put in time after school. One such student was editor Karen Pfister. When the book is finished you forget all the long hours and effort you put in after school. The Lion ' s Tail staff also became accustomed to a Friendly reminder from Mr. Schneider to have their stories in and finished, when deadline time rolled around. All classes were considered challenging by the teach- ers point of view. Miss Pochodzay, English and publica- tions instructor, felt working on the yearbook takes commitment of hard working students, but it definitely has its rewards. Celeste Scheafer The pressure ' s on and time runs out as Karen Pfister and Jessica Brandt finish layouts and proof-read copy before a yearbook deadline.

Priceless Commitments There was a variety of people who belonged to com- mitted clubs. One such group were those who who were in the Swing Choir. Out of the choirs, the swing choir was the most active. Among other activities, they performed in nursing homes, the spring concert, and the Swing Choir Spectac- ular. When some students were still taking showers, put- ting on make-up, or just adding the final touches to their outfits, this dedicated group was practicing. But, some of the members felt that the early morning practice pa id off, as Julie Anderson commented, Although the seven o ' clock rehearsals limited the amount of much needed beauty sleep we got, they were very beneficial because we had more time to concentrate on the details of every number. Another committed club was the Drill Squad. The drill squad performed routines during half-time of most home football and basketball games. They spent many hours drilling and practicing for performances. The girls joined for various reasons. Some joined to learn different dance steps and others loved to perform. Drill squad member Missy Alwine stated, I joined the drill squad because I liked showing my team spirit and I loved to perform in front of crowds. Last, was the Speech Team. The speech team gave all types of speeches from comedy, to impromptus, to dra- matic. Being in the speech team gave me a chance to meet all types of people. It also gave me a chance to talk a lot! said Chris Grabowski, who competed in extempo- raneous girls speaking. All of these clubs took commitment. Each member of each club put in extra hours to practice or perform. The attitudes and commitments of these club members helped make their club a success. ,  . . — Elaine Arnett I 124 1 Clubs Entertaining I ' II After many early morning rehearsals, and hours of fine tuning, the swing choir shows off their accomplishments during the Christmas program.

I lllSTiiiii I I055 - Twas The Season The quantity and quality of a student , was the defi- nition of achievement, but it could have been used as a definition of student council. The quantity of what the student council included was Homecoming, Powder Puff, State Convention, the Christmas skit. Blood Drive, and Class Tourney. The quality of these activities depended on planning, organizing, volunteerism, and the entire student body. One of these activities was the Christmas skit, which had everything from spaced-out reindeer to Dr. Stuelpe play- ing Steve Martin in The Jerk . Another activity was the State Convention. Mr. Gabet took a group of student council members to Portage, Indiana, for a day to ob- serve our Government in action. The number of activities sponsored by student council made it necessrary to involve a wide range of students with planning and leadership abilities. As Kim Gruber put it, I joined the student council to improve mv orga- nizational and leadership skills. I like to have a say-so in the student body.

We all needed food, clothes, and shelter to survive. We all en- joyed praise for a job well done and valued the advice of our friends. However, there were connections which made each person special. The way a person talked, acted, or even how he wore his clothing suggested that he was unique. Some people had brown, blue, or green eyes. Some were six feet tall, while others were so short they could not reach the top of the blackboard. Besides differ- ences in appearance, each person ex- pressed his thoughts, voiced his opin- ions, and reacted differently to peo- ple and situations which were con- fronted daily. Each individual added personality to the student body creating an in- side connection that replaced names on a computer list with students con- stantly changing, following new styles, and making new friends. — Karen Pfister, On backwards inside-oat day.

Each morning began the same way; after the bus came to a halt, one only had to cross the road, climb the steps and find a seat in a mere five seconds. Then after school when the three ten bell rang there was no time to talk with friends or go to lockers because there was always the fear of not finding the bus and being left behind or being late causing the bus to stop and wait. Turning sixteen casted a new light on everything for now we could drive. Driving gave us a feeling of indepen- dence as we guided the car to school and home. For those of us that drove, problems such as waiting for the car to warm up and scraping snow and ice off of windows made driving a hassle at times, but all was forgotten as thoughts turned back to riding the bus. , 130 , People Seniors I I Being a senior meant many privileges such as parking in the south parking lot which was reserved for seniors and teachers only.

When the final bell rang ending a day and there was no homework, thoughts were on anything but school. There were a few students, though, whose studies went beyond the classroom, and even beyond the com- munity. Four students went to other countries to live and study a second language. Tim Stoller, who visited Germany, and Renee Butt, who went to Mexico, earned the privilege through the lU Honors Program, of staying in a different country. This required taking a difficult test and going through an extensive interview. Chris Stuckey and Laurie Foutz went to Spain and Germany, respectively, to live with host families. Chris Stuckey said, It was a great experience and one that I will never forget. We also share our culture through an exchange stu- dent from Mexico.

As the seconds ticked away, questions seemed harder and harder to answer. Then when the warning came that only five minutes remained, panic set in. Tests were a part of everyone ' s life. There was no possible way to avoid them. There were numerous sug- gestions which ensured the average student success on a test. These included getting a good night ' s sleep, eating a good breakfast, and doing homework every night. How- ever, these suggestions were forgotten when a World Premier Movie lasted until eleven, an alarm clock went off late leaving no time for breakfast, and homework was finally found in the folder left at school. Whether tests were easy a nd A ' s were common or C ' s were barely achieved, after hours of study there was no way out, one just had to grin and bear it.

There was nothing that a typi- cal student would rather have done at the moment except turn the alarm clock off and drouse back into a rest- ful sleep. According to one junior, Scott Hepler, The first thing I think about in the morning is five more minutes, just five more minutes. Every morning was the same thing.

Finally, after the usual ritual of washing the face, he realized that today was a school day. The thought of school sometimes made him sick at his stomach, but that wasn ' t an unusual feeling since a major part of his life involved school. Some juniors spent a large part of their mornings deciding what to wear to school. I get up at about six o-clock in the morning and it takes me about an hour-an-a-half to get ready, explained Laurie Kroemer. If it wasn ' t the problem of decid- ing what to wear, it was the equally important decision of what to eat for breakfast. Some solved the dilemma by not eating anything. Others man- aged to grab a bowl of Rice Krispies in the few short minutes before run- ning to catch the bus. The next problem was that of waiting for the bus without dying of frost bite during the cold winter months. Eventually, the bus did come and by the time it reached its destination most students ' feet were toasty warm. For some, the bus ride seemed to drag on for ages. One junior, Ann Howard stated, I use to hate to ride the bus to school because it took so long, but now that I can drive, I ' m home in no time. IH 138 People Juniors I .

Lunch was a time of gossiping and finishing homework for the next class. To many, it was the most pop- ular so-called period of the day.

Fi- nally, the long-awaited bell rang and the halls roared with excited stu- dents bound to everywhere imagin- able. There were countless ways of spending ones project period. Some used the time as a study hall, others attended important meetings, and some just visited with friends. How- ever the time was used, it was agreed that project period was a refreshing part of everyone ' s day. Miss Mary Rhynard summed it up with It ' s a nice break, I enjoy the relaxation time when I don ' t have project peri- od duty. Homeroom was the last ritual of a student ' s day at Leo.

No, they didn ' t get wrapped up in their school work, or in sports, or even in extra-curricu- lars, but rather in the never-dying tradition of T.P.-ing. Planning was involved with almost all T.P. jobs. Many decisions had to be made even before the toilet paper was bought. Deciding who to T.P, when to get them, and who would be in on the job, were just a few of the decisions that had to be made. Some decided who to get by the simple process of drawing names. while others felt that just the ' reds ' of the school deserved it. Sometimes T.P.ers preferred to get their friends and at other times they chose some- one they wanted to get revenge on. Then there were times it really didn ' t matter, anyone would do as long as there were lots of trees around. All sophmores had their own ideas about when was the best time to T.P. According to Shelly Miller, The best time to T.P. is right before it rains. That way it gets soggy and breaks before it comes down, so you ' re left with some in the trees. Most trees, decorated with toilet paper look like this when the sophomores get done with a revenge T.P.ing.

Others who found the closet bare, ran to the nearest store and bought an average of thirty roils per T.P. job. For avid T.P.ers there was never a problem with getting money for nec- essary toilet paper. Although their parents gave them money for other activities, they sometimes used it for toilet paper instead. One such stu- dent was Daryl McConnell who stat- ed, I use the money my mom gives me for dances to buy toilet paper. T.P.-ing always had its thrills, challenges, and risks, and sopho- mores especially enjoyed the excite- ment that accompanied this activity. One sophomore summed it up with T.P.-ing is a fine art, and I suggest everyone try it. — Terri Clouse c-.

She said, I spend my free time with my friends and going to the mall. Although many of the freshmen liked to spend their free time with their friends, not all of them found the extra time. Instead they stayed home and finished their homework. Gary Laird was one of these peo- ple. He stated, I do not have any spare time, because I have practice and homework every night. Even though sports were optional activities many freshmen enjoyed taking part in them. Ed Busche com- Concerts, movies, and partying were just a few of the things that freshmen did in their spare time. Many of the freshmen also liked to jam in their spare time. One freshman, Jim Yankosky, commented, I think about Joe El- liott. For those who did not know who Joe Elliott was, he was the lead sing- er of Def Leppard ' s albums High-n- Dry, On Through the Night, and Py- romania. When freshmen were not at school they liked going to the mall (Glen- brook) and going to the movies.

It ' s tough being in the middle. Why can ' t we participate in ac- tivities with the high school? Just one more year. These were thoughts that ran through almost every eighth graders ' mind. Eighth grade prepared a typical student for the so-called challenges that were ahead in high school. Teachers played a major part in this preparation. According to Allen Schlatter, an eighth grade teacher, I try to stress organization and re- sponsibility by insisting that assign- ments be handed in on time. I have built into the grading system stiff penalties for those who fail in this area. There were also disadvantages connected with being an eighth grad- er. One of the greatest disadvantages was not being able to participate in high school activities. On the other hand, several of the advantages of being an eighth grader were that grades didn ' t go on one ' s premanent record and requirements for these students were not as diffi- cult to make as the next years ' class would be. One eighth grade student, Elaine Pfister, said, I feel that the greatest advantage to being in this year ' s eighth grade class is that we are the last class allowed to graduate with 32 credits. The world of computers is not a strange world to eighth graders, Lori Heare and Jenny Rayl. They are learning the language of computers that will aid them later on in life. Forgetting about all of their problems, these eighth graders dance the night away to the music of Mistaken Identity. 150 People Eighth Grade I I i 1 ft f f!

Unlike high school students who spent much of their project period time in the com- mons chatting with friends, an eighth grader was given a study hall every other week during that time. Even though eighth grade seemed like it took ages to reach, there were still many more years of high school to come. The anticipated years of high school with the privileges of be- ing in high school sports, having a larger selections of classes, and at- tending high school dances, some- times seemed like it, too, was an eter- nity away. But, then again, perhaps with all its drawbacks, being caught in the middle as an eighth grader wasn ' t so bad after all. — Mary Pfister Participating in the annual event Grabill Country Fair.

I ' m gonna miss the bus, what will I do? I forgot my locker combination. Help me, I ' m lost. These were typical thoughts that ran through almost every seventh grader ' s mind. I don ' t have my Government fin- ished but, no sweat, ' cause I can fin- ish it on the way to school. It ' s a quarter till and I have not left yet, but no problem, I can make it easy. I can walk around the school with my eyes closed and still know where I am. Don ' t touch my locker, it ' s set! These were typical thoughts that ran through seniors ' minds. Being a seventh grader was techni- cally a very difficult job. There were problems to worry about such as the memorizing of locker combinations, meeting the requirements of six new teachers, getting used to all of the big kids in the school, and being able to find one ' s way around the so- called gigantic school. There were more activities added to the seventh grader ' s life. For ex- ample, one of these activities was the new and exciting world of dancing! In grade school dances weren ' t of- fered as an after-school activity. However, in Jr. high seventh graders were allowed to attend the dances along with the eighth graders.

He also had to get used to a different teacher every period. Also the sev- enth grader ' s day was longer than when he was in grade school. In ele- mentary school, the day started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 2:30 p.m. but in seventh grade, school started at 8:00 a.m. and ended at 3:10 p.m. The seniors were used to this bill schedule, considering that they had followed that schedule for the past six years. By now the seniors were experts at dancing and they knew the school like the back of their hands. Therefore one could see the differ- ence between the seventh graders and the seniors. Being lost and not knowing where to go or what to do were common to seventh graders. However, all had changed in five years, as we saw them meet the challenges and adjust to the changes of their larger and more complicated world. — Mary Pfister Sitting in her required health class, Kristin Straughn takes notes on the effects of drugs on the body.

They always seemed to be grading papers, preparing for lessons or lectures, giving those awful tests, or taking care of discipline problems. However, when one thought about it, teachers were very human. They en- joyed the same types of activities and hobbies as some of the students. For instance, if Mr. Ronald Divelbiss was not busy he liked to swim, fish, and sail. Many other teachers also chose the outdoors. Mr. Phil Kurtz said, I like to snowmobile, fish, and work in my garden. Some teachers participated i n coaching and playing a sport.

Imagine, A Day Without Imagine a day without lunch, a hall full of paper and dust, nowhere to go to get absence slips and pass- ports, no place to go when one feels ill, and no place to go when one needs advice about arranging next year ' s schedule. Fortunately, this was never the case because of the cooks, the custo- dians, the office worker, the nurse, and the guidance office workers. The office workers ' jobs consisted of ordering materials for school. They also took care of all of the school ' s bookwork and collected money for extra-curricular activities. The custodians didn ' t have as easy a job as most people assume. Their jobs consisted of anything from sweeping the hall floors to cleaning classroom blackboards. The nurse spent her day taking care of students who felt ill. Some- times it meant sending them home and other times it meant just giving them a place to lie down. The cooks spent their day perpar- ing and serving food to the seven hundred students. The cook in charge was Marian Shoudel. When asked if she liked her job she said, Sure I like my job, if I didn ' t 1 wouldn ' t have been at Leo High School for thirty four years. The guidance department helped students plan for the future. .A.s Mr. Richard Butt explained. Preparing schedules and getting information for college bound students has been my job for eleven years. All of these jobs were essential to the proper functioning of the school. Although these jobs were totally dif- ferent in basic functioning, they worked together to make our school what it was. — Marv Pfister — 163 People Workers Photo by Tim Glenn Although every student atteilds the same school, each has a different lifestyle.

Wc expected events such as the Grabill County Fair. However there were connections which changed the way the community func- tioned. Hard times and high interest rates caused Souder ' s, Indiana ' s most unique furniture store to close its doors. The new year marked the beginning of the winter Olympics, Television sets were all turned on to find out who would come home with the gold. Not only was Sarajevo in the news, but also the question of who would run for president in November effected the ac- tions of many. The changes which took place in the community and the controversial issues which caused question and debate gave our community an inside connection as we replaced the expected with new challenges and ideas. One of the annual evenis that occurs in the fall is Grabill Days. Almost evenone in the surrounding community enjo s the fair, and a few even partici- pate.

Who are you going to the game with? Be home by twelve — and drive CAREFULLY! These are a few questions which seemed to govern the mind of virtually every parent in the world. The expectations of a parent often included having the dishes washed, having the house perfectly clean, and knowing where the child was every moment of every day. With all the expectations parents had, why would any- one want to work for his parents, the people he so often tried to avoid? Many students discovered, however, that working for their parents solved several problems and provided an opportunity for new relationships to form. Working for parents sometimes meant giving a little bit more, as Kelly Platter explained. If my parents asked me to work on a Sunday, I would help them, she said. Hours and pay were determined in a unique way, as the employee employer relationship was on a more in- formal basis. Special allowances were made by both parties since there was a bond of loyalty to the other family member. Having a son or daughter work for a parent also allowed the parent an opportunity to reward his child in several ways. Often a raise in pay is a reward to the student or child employee. When Karen does a job extremely well, Mr. David Pfister said, 1 feel that she had deserved some kind of reward. A reward could be taking a child to dinner for a job well done, giving a word of encouragement to the hard-working employee, or for exceptional work, even raising the students hourly wage. By becoming involved in a parents business, a student not only gained experience, but also improved his rela- tionship to with his parents. — Karen Pfister and Julie Anderson Bookkeeping for her father ' s business not only gives senior Karen Pfisicr a weekly paycheck, but also sparks her career interest in ac- counting. 176 1 Community Feature Taking Great Panes to perfect her work.

What is in a name? As freshmen, we all had to learn that famous line from Romeo and Juliet. In more modern times, there are three-and-a-half pages of Smiths in the phone book, the first name is Aaron and the last is Zychal. Plus, of the 320 pages of names, 240 of those names are Jones ' . Names came from many different nations. In this area names of German origin were very common. Irish, French, and Italian names were often heard, too, and occasionally one heard a Hawaiian, Polish, or Russian name. Some people ' s names seemed to go on forever, while others were only three or four letters long. The length of certain names sometimes depended on one ' s ability to spell. Historical information showed that when immigrants who came to American had to tell a man their named to be registered, often times it was spelled as best as possible and that ' s what the name became. There were also named that appeared to be too long that were shortened. Some people preferred to be callsed by only one name. These people could still be easily recognized. For instance, Charo, and Ann-Margaret were well known people with only one name. There were people who liked having an uncommon name. Joe Brandenberger liked having a long name, because, It is different and sets one apart. Miss Pochodzay also enjoyed having an unusual name because, It is unique and I know I won ' t meet many others with the same name. We all had last names, most of which were no choice of our own. Whether the last name was loved or hated, it was one which we all had to learn to live with. Jessica Brandt A Academics Scclion. 4: Acklcv.

Here, some juniors antd seniors take time out to rap. relax, and enjoy the sunshine. Teaming up for Effective Production Does anyone have the grease pencil? Where ' s the typo book? I need my pictures! Is anyone ' s birthday coming up soon? Along with the usual sounds of typing or brainstorming out loud, phrases such as these were often heard in room 137, better known as the yearbook room. Here was where the year was captured in words and made permanent through the power of type and picture. Under the supervision of second year advisor Miss Cathy Pochodzay, the class of fourteen students set about to put out the best yearbook ever. The co-editors, Jessica Brandt and Karen Pfister led the class in producing a book of high quality and one that the student body would en- joy for years to come. Being on the yearbook staff not only involves the production of the book itself, but the dis- tribution of the finished product is one of the most exciting times. The Lifestyles section was made up of the only boy in the class, Vin- cent Stovall, and Michelle Kies. They set out to cover the social as- pect of school that set this year apart from any other year. The Academics section consisted of Missy Sutton and Nikki Jenks. They worked on covering the classes that students went to every day and at the same time made them interest- ing. Kris Mosier and Mary Minich worked on Sports. They had to keep up on the sports records as well as put in some hours in the summer covering sports that ended after school was out. The Clubs section, Elaine Arnett and Celeste Schaefer, were the ones who were in charge of the group shots for certain clubs, as well as finding out each club ' s activities. The People section was made up of Vicki Cook, Mary Pfister, an Terri Clouse. They sorted out cla; pictures for all students, as well £ wrote stories for their sections. The Ads and Community sectioi with Julie Anderson and Ann How ard, required a great deal of creati ity. These people were in charge c designing many different ads for bi sinesses that supported the yearbool The Index was put together b Terri Clouse. She had to arrange a student ' s names in alphabetical oi der and keep track of who was o what page. Working on the yearbook was very rewarding way to spend sixt: period, as well as long hours afte school, in the summer, and on sno days. The yearbook staff was on that did an excellent job recordim the year past. — Jessica Brana — 194 — Closing Staff c o u Volume I ' ) of the I CO H ibIi School Oriicic was prinlcd by Joslcr American Yearbook of ClarkHvillc.

Nikki Jenks — 195 — Closina Staff r Many hours are spent meeting deadlines by the year- Project period for some meant a lime to talk with friends book staff, but at the annual banquet at one Summit or catch up on homework, however for Eric Stouder Square all the hard efforts arc recognized. project period is a time to test his skill in ping pong. Inside We knew that spring not only meant warm- er weather but prom, finals, and graduation. However, there were connections which made the end of the year special. Prom meant the usual questions of finding a date and buying apparel. However, since Auburn was twenty-six miles from Fort Wayne, holding the prom at the Auburn Cord Deusenberg presented new questions of where to eat before and what to do after- wards. Plans started early so tuxes could be ordered from Russel ' s to avoid another Top Hat mixup, and coupons could be used to purchase flowers. As usual May brought not only fiowers but warmer weather, yet the school inside felt like the middle of winter. The sunshine not only helped to restore spring break tans, but gave an opportunity for students to study out- doors. Politics became more than just Govern- ment class, as candidates for president and local offices worked to gain support of the voters. Issues concerning religion and prayer in the schools caused over three hundred and fifty concerned citizens to attend the annual school board meeting. Spring fashions took on a new look as the punk and preppy look combined. Jean jack- ets, short cropped pants, pastel colors, plastic shoes, and flipped up collars made Glenbrook Mall a great place to spend the weekend. The album Thriller made Michael Jack- son the idol of many. Billy Jean turned into the Pepsi generation and TV sets were watched with anticipation to see Michael Jackson perform his moon walk or to catch a glimpse of his gloved hand. t— 97 , Closing Connections Each student in foods puis his knowledge into practice.

For seniors lunch was also a time to receive graduation announcements and caps and gowns. Homework took on a new light as day- dreaming was much easier than trying to re- view for finals. May twenty-first was the last day for seniors to turn in work, which meant finishing Mr. Gabet ' s book report so every- one could participate in graduation. Howev- er, from the flower accention in the number of days left in Mr. Steinhouser ' s room to the big number on Mr. Shaw ' s chalkboard, the countdown continued. May twenty-fifth meant more than just an eight-hour school day. For underclassmen, it meant the beginning of a summer to relax with the reassurance of returning to face an- other year of high school. For seniors May twenty-fifth was the final step in their high schol careers. Each student, new idea, and change gave our year an inside connection, for never again could we create the moments that were part of our year. Instead of scheduled events and routines weeks we looked over the expected and found the inside connection which cap- tured the truly special moments of the 1983- 1984 school year at Leo Jr. Sr. High School. — Karen Pfister ,— 199 1 Cl osing Connections I i The latest time for seniors to arrive at graduation is 6:45 so that pictures can be taken and last minute changes can be made. Each graduate positions his cap. talks with friends, and experiences the same feelings. However, as each one walks down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstance, he realizes that the inside connection is that everyone will be going his separate, individual way. Nora Cook and Mike Peters head down the walkwav after everyone has graduated.
