Looking back, Wallace has changed significantly over the past ten years, along with everything else ... With the reconstruction and extension of the school in the early part of the decade, Lew Wallace changed in many ways • • • Even though new people come and go through the doors of Lew Wallace each year, a Hornet is still a Hornet ... Opening 7 Many people, when asked, say that school spirit is a thing of the past, but any loyal Hornet 01 will prove them wrong ...

Although the nature of the activities change from year to year, the motive remains the same; mak¬ ing the most of the moment. Student Life is some¬ thing for everyone.

As a new class of freshmen arrive, so does the traditional Freshmen Week. Freshmen Week is sponsored by the Girls’ Club as an orientation for the freshmen. Through various assemblies and activities, the freshmen are in¬ troduced to Lew Wallace and its traditions. This year the activities included a 1978 Fall Fashion Show and a Big and Little Sister Pool Party. The upperclassmen have a hand in the Freshmen Week activities. They initiate the freshmen by having them perform little tasks, climbing flagpoles, carrying arm loads of books and tying shoes together. Also, freshmen must pay $1 for their school ID which allows them to attend various school activities. They must also participate along with the under¬ class to have their pictures taken for the Quill and Blade. Far left: junior James Roberts collects and counts the money from ID pictures.

Fall Activities 19 School activities involve students I n recent years the interest in the Student Council has dropped. No one wants to participate. Despite the lack of feeling by many students, on Oct. 19, the Student Council held its annual inauguration. After the inauguration the class offi¬ cers, each class president and Student Council president gave their inaugural address. Earnest Newsome, Student Council president, told the audience of his great plans for a fantastic and re¬ warding year. Freshmen President, II- laina Barnett, proclaimed that the freshmen class of 1982 would be the best class ever. The Sophomore President, Matt Sosh, told of his happiness for his class who previously won the homecoming float competition and Spirit Stick. Matt stated that this was “only the beginning . Janet Mitchell, temporary president of the junior class, spoke of the prob¬ lems and determination of the junior class. The final address was that of Senior Class President, Beth Bishop, who stressed the involvement seniors need to be successful. Another fall activity included the distribution of yearbooks. Distribution occurred two weeks later than pre¬ viously scheduled because of a delay in shipping. There were many lectures given in the fall by various people. Some of the lectures included Adam Benjamin Jr., Emery King and the Gary Board of Health. Government and economics classes ended fall activities with having their blood pressure taken by the volunteer nurses from the American Heart Association. 20 Fall Activities mu Far Left: Mrs. Austin, security, gets her blood pressure taken by one of the volunteer nurses from the American Heart Association.

On Thursday, Sept. 21, Homecoming Eve, the seniors sponsored a Home¬ coming Disco. Students boogied down to the sounds of Mobile Music. They then boggied back to garages to do last minute touch-ups on floats. On Homecoming, Sept. 22, students casted their final votes for Home¬ coming Queen, between Adele Arci- niega, Laura Argostino, Pam Kviklis and Kathy McDonald. School Spirit was lifted at the pep rally when Coach Dave Templin along with co-captains Dave Kaczmarski and Marty Stefanelli gave the student body a last minute pep talk. The sophomores took the pep talk to heart winning the Spirit Stick for the first time. At 6 p.m. crowds gathered on Broad¬ way for the Homecoming parade with class floats and decorated cars demon¬ strating school spirit. At halftime a surprised Kathy McDonald was crowned Homecoming Queen while the sophomores carried away another victory, winning the float competition with “Loop the Horsemen”. And that’s just what the Hornets did in a 22-12 victory over Ho¬ race Mann. Far Right: Dave Page along with the senior class, show their spirit at the pep rally.

The senior class had two car washes raising approxi¬ mately $200. The Senior Honor Society made roughly $93 at their car wash. During the school year many organi¬ zations bring in much profit by selling candy. The band made $1,000 selling candy bars and peanut clusters. The choir made $410 selling Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, M M’s and Hershey Bars. The Philosopher staff sold carna¬ tions to make money and add a little beauty to Valentine’s Day. Movies help bring in a profit and break up the monotony of a school day. This year three movies have been shown. The Quill and Blade showed “The Deep” making $1500. The Student Council showed “Oh God” and the ju¬ nior senior class sponsored “The Goodbye Girl”. Some of the organizations use their profits to sponsor other profitable ac¬ tivities such as dances, which in turn support other dances including the Ju¬ nior Senior Prom. Fund Raisers 27 Community threatens lunch policy T his year litter and vandelism be¬ came a major problem in sur¬ rounding communities. Area residents sent complaints to Mr. Christ Christoff, principal, who in turn brought the problem to the attention of the student body. During an all school assembly on Oct. 6, in the Polk gymnasium, the stu¬ dents were given a choice; either the litter and vandelism were to stop or the students would experience a closed lunch hour. A closed lunch hour would mean splitting lunch periods into three half hour sessions. Each student would eat lunch during one of those sessions and attend class during the other two. Mr. Christoff stated that a good job was done, but the clean up could have been better. He also said that during the fall, the problem had gotten to be a very serious situation. The physical education classes put in a lot of time and effort cleaning up 45th Avenue. As Mr. Christoff put it, “Respect; that is what students should have, and if they can’t show a little respect then they’re not going to have an open lunch hour. A open lunch hour is a privilege, not a requirement.” Above: New garbage cans were placed all over school grounds in an effort to stop the littering problem.

Out of the five dances held at Lew Wallace this year, four of these have been discos com¬ plete with DJ, lights and the accesso¬ ries. The first dance held at Wallace this year was the Homecoming Disco spon¬ sored by the Student Council. This was the first homecoming dance in five years. The disco was on Sept. 21, in the surge area with Mobile Music as the disc jockey. “Let’s Dance” was the theme of the annual turnabout sponsored by the Girls’ Club on Nov. 3. This too was a disco with Mobile Music as the DJ. Much time and preparation went into the decorations that were inside and outside of the old gym. The inside was decorated like a city street and the out¬ side, a french cafe. Attendance was better this year than in the last few years. In the week following the turnabout, Hi-Y sponsored the Little Red School House Dance. This also was a disco. At this dance, all who attended wore chil¬ drens clothes. Attendance at this dance was far less than in previous years. On Feb. 9, the junior and senior classes got together to sponsor a disco to raise money for the prom. The disco was almost cancelled because of a lack of ticket sales. A threat of no prom reached the student body and ticket sales soon soared. This was not the end of the problems dealing with this dance as DJ Marvin Lyles had a prob¬ lem with the lights and other equip¬ ment was sent to the wrong school. De¬ spite all of the problems, the disco was somewhat of a success. The final dance was the Sweetheart Ball sponsored by the Hi-Y on Feb. 24 in the old gym. At the coronation cere¬ mony, Shonda Hightower, sophomore, was crowned as the Hi-Y sweetheart with Cheryl Champion, sophomore, as her first attendant. Attendance at this semi-formal dance was considerably lower than in previous years. Left: Michelle Wilmington, Sharon Wilmington, eonette Harvey. Shirley Washington.

School Dances 31 Snow brings second vacation E ven though the snow didn’t hit until Christmas most of the stu¬ dents at Wallace saw a white Christmas. Will pollution ever destroy Gary; no but the snow tried to. New Year’s Eve brought us the beginning of several inches of snow, but the big storm hit late one foggy Friday night, and fin¬ ished early one Tuesday morning. One little snowflake started the whole thing. Snow continued to fall bringing 22 inches of its little friends. For the first time since 1967, Gary was completely snowbound. Schools were closed for 8 days. Buses stopped running, small businesses closed as the city became paralyzed. Mr. Michael Merker, the Drama Club, the Concert Band and the Mixed Choir performed a play for the entire student body. “The Star of Bethlehem’’, according to Mr. Merker, was put to¬ gether in a couple of weeks and went very smoothly. Students, along with the help of Mrs. Sarah Boyajian and Mr. Earnest Vereb, painted signs wishing fellow students and teachers a Merry Christmas. This year Christmas vacation went by quickly as students began to plan for Easter vacation. Left: Performing The Little Star of Bethlehem ” were members of the Drama Club including Che¬ ryl Champion, sophomore, Marsha Danzy, se¬ nior, Lisa Krejci, freshman, Harold Johnson, se¬ nior, and Victor Coleman, sophomore. 32 Winter Mi 1978-1979: A year to remember T he 1978-1979 year will be long re¬ membered for the many firsts which occurred during this time. Early in the summer of ’78 the first test tube baby, Louise Joy Brown, was born in England. Later in the summer, Pope Paul VI died in the fifteenth year of his reign. Pope John Paul I took his place and died 34 days later. Polish Pope John Paul II then gets elected to his post and became the first non-Italian Pope. The death of 911 persons occurring in Guyana because of the mass suicide which was forced on them by Rev. Jim Jones and the People’s Temple shocked the world. A nuclear meltdown in Pennsylvania almost occurred at the Three Mile Is¬ land nuclear plant. And lastly, peace in the Middle East was brought about by the signing of a treaty between Anwar Sadat and Begin thanks to the work by President Jimmy Carter. Firsts were also made in 1978-1979 in the movie and television industry. The movies of the year ranged from totally hilarious to ultimately serious. The best picture was the “Deer Hunter” staring Robert DeNiro while Jane Fonda and Jon Voight were given best actress and actor for their roles in “Coming Home.” Many new television shows were in¬ troduced this year with many pat¬ terned after successful movies. An ex¬ ample of this is “Battlestar Galactica” whose father was “Star Wars”. “Delta House” was patterned after “Animal House” which was a movie about the antics that occur on a college campus. A new and very unusual television program was “Mork Mindy,” a story about an alien Mork from the planet Ork. Another new show was “The Mu- pet Show” with Jim Henson and his 100 muppets ranging from Kermit the frog to Miss Piggy. Yet, there is one old show that still remains, “Saturday Night Live” which has now adopted the Coneheads. The stars which will be long remem¬ bered are those who came from the various media fields. From comedy we listened to the wild and crazy guy, Steve Martin. From the silver screen were John Travolta, Olivia Newton- John and Jon Voight. From the televi¬ sion screen the top stars were Cheryl Ladd, Charlie’s new angel and Robin Williams, the zany Mork from Ork. What will be remembered ten years from now is hard to say yet the one thing which can be said is the 1978- 1979 was a year of firsts and surprises. Current Events 35 Testing: A major part of academics S tudents at Lew Wallace and every other school in the nation are constantly taking tests. Not only are the students taking tests from their ev¬ eryday teachers, but they are also tak¬ ing tests to enter college, the army, the navy, and even some jobs. Are tests fair, necessary or important? These questions wiill be given careful thought and consideration by students, teachers and counselors. Most teachers agree that a test is a device used to see what a student has learned and in some cases what he has not learned. It is said by many that a test is a teacher’s most important tool. Counselor Mrs. Maxine Thomas is in charge of the various proficiency tests. There are four tests that students must now pass before they can graduate from high school in Gary. They are math, reading, writing and speech, which are known as Competency I. Mrs. Thomas stated that beginning next year, math and reading profi¬ ciency tests will be given in the eighth grade and these students will not be able to enter ninth grade until they pass. Within the next four years Com¬ petency II will have begun. In this, the four original proficiency tests will be given in junior high, and in high school a set of tests will be given to the stu¬ dent in the area of school majors whether it be shop, home economics, or an academic subject. “This will at¬ tempt to challenge the minds of the students,” stated Mrs. Thomas. “Proficiency tests and college en¬ trance tests seem to challenge the minds of students,” said Mrs. Thomas. With fewer and fewer students failing the tests, they will become more and more difficult. This does not mean that no one fails them, but that the per¬ centages are becoming lower and lower. For those few students who do fail, there are classes to teach and help the student so he may pass the test the next time around. When asked if a high school student graduates with higher than a sixth grade education, Mrs. Thomas sternly stated that a sixth grade education is just the minimum that a student must have. It is just a starting point on which to build the best possible educa¬ tion upon. For this reason classes in Lew Wallace are separated into sec¬ tions so that no one is held behind be¬ cause of slow students. By doing this, students are able to group to a higher level of education. “Tests are useful and worthwhile and even help to enhance the students, no matter what kinds of tests are being taken. Tests do not seem to hurt the students and in some cases it may even help. Students as well as counselors and employers benefit from tests no matter what type they are,” stated Mrs. Thomas. Students do not seem to like tests no matter what shape or form they are in states the five students asked this ques¬ tion. “They do not feel challenged but instead stupid because of low test scores,” said freshman Dianne Sanc¬ hez. “The only challenge given by a test is to pass that test anyway possible no matter what the consequences may be,” said sophomore Jeannie Kirkilewski. Junior Jackie Rivera said, “Individ¬ uals must decide for himself whether tests are important or not important. They must realize that tests cannot be avoided no matter how hard you try and that they are just a way of life.” 36 Testing Left: Sophomore Steve Griffiths takes a test in his metal shop class.

Testing 37 Seniors regain spirit, juniors win float B asketball season this year was highlighted by record snowfalls. But neither wind nor rain or even snow could stop the Hornet hysteria. Hornet power was bolstered by var¬ sity basketball coach, Bill Kukoy, who led his team to a 85-81 victory over the River Forest Ingots. At the pep rally the 1979 Basketball princesses and queen candidates were introduced. The senior court consisted of, Maria Aranda, Linda Davis, Tracie Samson, Denise Villeneuve and Dorna Warren, their escorts included Jeff Bode, Ray Arambula, Frank Ventu- rella, Dan Avalos and Kevin McDonald. In the Spirit Stick competition the senior class once again proved that they had the most spirit by unani¬ mously winning the Spirit Stick. That night the junior class showed their spirit by winning the float com¬ petition with the slogan “Shock the Ingots”. Three happy underclass girls, La- tonza Toomer, Lisa Albrecht, and Janet Mitchell, were crowned princesses while Dorna Warren was crowned the 1979 Basketball Homecoming Queen. 38 Basketball Homecoming Far left: The 1979 Basketball court and escorts, Dan Avalos, Denise Villeneuve, Ray Arambula, Linda Davis, Kevin McDonald, Dorna Warren, Maria Aranda, Jeff Bode, Trade Samson and Frank Venturella.

Disco music was still around taking on a new form in 1979. Instead of part¬ ner dancing to songs like “San Fran¬ cisco” by The Village People or More Than a Woman” by Tavares, every¬ body was doing dances such as the ‘rock 1 or ‘washing machine’ to songs like “Got My Mind Made Up” by In¬ stant Funk or “We are Family” by Sis¬ ter Sledge. This new Disco-Soul music (some call it Funk) even attracted some Rock singers. Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones recorded the song “Some Girls’while Rod Stewart released “If You Want My Body”, both songs were considered Disco-Soul music. Rock music didn’t step out of the picture totally in 1979. The Chicago bred group “Styx” produced a new al¬ bum “Pieces of Eight” featuring their hit “Renegade.” Led Zepplin was not untouched by the Disco craze. One group tried un¬ successfully to turn Zepplin’s hit “Stairway to Heaven” into a disco record. However, Rock depended on Pink Floyd to turn out the original Rock. Musicals made a comeback in 1979. An old stage musical “Hair” was brought to the movies along with “The Wiz.” 40 Music TOP DISCO-SOUL SONGS ‘Bustin Out by Rick James “Easy ' By Commodores I Go!

Cultural Week directed by Mr. Sam Poliak, brought 13 differ¬ ent countries into Lew Wallace. The programs consisted of movies, slides, speakers and exhibits. Mini-seminars ranged from Africa to Australia, Israel to New Zealand and more. Mr. Poliak thought that the variety of subjects presented to the students pro¬ moted learning. Cultural Week was not the only thing that was successful. Spirit Week was also accomplished at this time. Mrs. Sarah Boyajian gave the Stu¬ dent Council help with the Olympics, the swim meet and all activities during Spirit Week. She said that the students who helped did a great job for such a short amount of time to make neces¬ sary arrangements. Above: Natalie Ostrovsky gives a lecture on Is¬ rael ' s culture.

The swim meet on Monday, March 19, was a complete success. The soph¬ omores won the meet with 44 points to the seniors, 42, freshmen, 27, and ju¬ niors, 19. The Olympics were exciting, eve n though they were during lunch hours. This time the freshmen won as the se¬ niors finished second. The Student-Faculty Basketball Game sponsored by the Junior Senior prom committee proved to be a success with the students winning, 53-36. The final events of Spirit and Cul¬ tural Week were 50’s Day and the Cul¬ tural Assembly. On 50’s Day some of the students dressed up as if they were back in the 1950’s. At the Cultural two hour assembly, the Omni Dance Troupe performed an African ritual dance. The Latin Ameri¬ can Club along with the Los Amigos members performed the Mexican Hat Dance and the Salsa, respectively. Dr. James B. Lane author of City Of the Century was the guest speaker at the assembly. Senior Maria Aranda believed that “the combination was successful. It was both entertaining and educational.” 42 Spirit, Cultural Week Left: Senior Jeff LangeI steps back in time for 50’s day.

Spring brings old, new activities W ith the arrival of spring to Lew Wallace came many outdoor and indoor activities. Warm weather greeted the Special Olympics. Students not usually recog¬ nized for their talents, but for their handicaps were given a chance to par¬ ticipate in the Special Olympics on May 8 in the football stadium. The Special Olympics are staged ev¬ ery year for the mentally and physi¬ cally handicapped. Senior Tracey Pest, a volunteer at the Special Olympics, said that it was a day of fun and excitement for every¬ one involved. As Arbor Day arrived on May 12, it was again time to plant a new sapling. Assistant Principal Steve Bazin and Honor Society members planted a new oak tree in the school courtyard, where everyone can enjoy its beauty while watching it grow through the years. Indoor spring activities provided by the various clubs included the annual blood drive sponsored by the Lew Wallace ROTC. Students who were at least 17 years old volunteered to give blood during the school day. Volun¬ teers included juniors and seniors who were brave enough to chance a little pain for a worthy cause. The production of “Godspell” by the Lew Wallace Drama Club introduced a new spring event. The play “Godspeir depicted a modern day version of the life of Jesus Christ. The production took 2 Vi months to prepare, and was performed for those students who purchased tickets to at¬ tend an afternoon program. An eve¬ ning performance was given for par¬ ents and friends wishing to see the performance. The play received great reviews by Principal Mr. Christ Christoff, Miss Tula Sakes, secretary, and family members of the cast. Publicity Manager Bruce Goodman, sophomore, summed up what the play did for Lew Wallace when he said “that it brought back a lot of the pride and tradition of Lew Wallace that has been dying so readily each year.” 44 Spring Events Far Left: Sgt.

We’re just getting ready to eat.” “What are you going to have? Ham or chicken?” “I don’t know. They all look so good. I think I’ll have some raviolli.” “Did you see all the decorations? Don’t they look nice?” “Yeh, they sure do. Isn’t that the bush we worked on?” “Let’s go over and look!” “Wow, this fountain is really neat. I wonder how they rigged it up? And look at this bench, it’s just like being in a real park!” • This year the Prom and Post Prom lasted from 7:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. on May 18. The motif was that of a park. Music at this year’s Prom was provided by Three’s Company and by Creative Soul at the Post Prom. Sandwiches were provided by SPTU, between Prom and Post Prom. 46 Prom Far left: Relaxing during a dance break. junior Dwayne Butler and his date pose for a picture.

Seniors tried to remem¬ ber freshmen year accomplishments, winning the Homecoming float com¬ petition and tieing with the senior class in the Spirit Week Olympics. Time moved on and the class of 1979 was no longer the “green freshmen,” but the more experienced sophomores with spirit stick victories and many new and exciting activities. Finally, being called upperclassmen came dur¬ ing a long awaited junior year. With many long awaited victories, home¬ coming floats, Spirit Stick com¬ petitions, Prom and Spirit Week activi¬ ties proved to make the junior year the best. Slowly thoughts drifted back to the present. With the realization of final days nearing, seniors planned for fu¬ ture memories. Zot night became something to remember, decorating the school grounds with multi-colored toi¬ let paper. The senior dinner was an¬ other highlight, receiving senior edi¬ tions after dinner and saying a few last goodbyes and realizing the next memory would be commencement. 52 Senior Week Far Left: Receiving their caps and gowns seniors began their long preparation for graduation.

Senior Week 53 Class of 1979 graduates 458 seniors O n June 4, 1979 a class of 458 se¬ niors graduated and said their last good-byes to the school they had spent much of their time in the past years. There were many mixed emotions as the processional began with the Con¬ cert Band under the direction of Mr. Tillman Buggs and Mr. Paul Chilson, playing Pomp and Circumstance. The Baccalaureate Address was given by the Rev. Paul Shults. The choir under the direction of Mrs. Doris Robinson entertained the graduates and their families during the cere¬ mony. After the Valedictorian Address by Frank Venturella and Salutatorian Address by Mark Vuckovich, the grad¬ uates were presented with their diplo¬ mas by Gary School Board members Mr. John Howard and Dr. Ruth Taylor. Mr. Christ Christoff then made the pre¬ sentation of the class of 1979 which was then accepted by Dr. Montague Oliver, School Board member. Academics 4 includes ... learning about prepositions and par¬ ticiples, recreating the battle of Gett ysburg, dis¬ covering the components of light, trying to re¬ construct a car engine, filling out tax returns, and cooking a three course meal. Academics covers an endless list of subjects. Academics is some¬ thing for everyone. I 1 4 � t ♦ . w W Academics 57 Administrators promote optimism Everyday a new hill must be climbed, but it is met with experience, concern, and enthusiasm by our administration. Mr. Christ Christoff, principal, said, “1 enjoy the satisfaction of working with our student body. Our only prob¬ lem is when the few bad points are brought out, and not the many good ones.” In running a high school you run across many problems. Mr. Steven Ba¬ zin, assistant principal, said, ‘‘We pride ourselves on being able to solve our problems big or little with care, con¬ cern, and compassion.” Mr. Clausell Harding, dean of stu¬ dents, said that the cohesiveness we have with the administration, faculty, student body, and total school person¬ nel is excellent. Mr. Alfred Smith, assistant principal stated similar feelings, ‘‘The Lew Wall¬ ace staff is a group of men and women dedicated to the preparation of those students charged to them.” You can’t however, forget the most intriging of all aspects of Lew Wall¬ ace. Mr. Howard King, assistant princi¬ pal, reminds us that .. so many people from varied backgrounds are able to come together and work toward a common goal—high quality educa¬ tion for all of Lew Wallace’s students.” Right: Mr. Clausell Harding discusses security measures with the officers.

Administration 59 Secretaries, security tackle big jobs “Keeping the office in a large school in order takes much time and effort,” according to Miss Tulla Sakes, secretary. All the secretaries in the office have special jobs. Those in charge of spe¬ cific classes take care of their students’ attendance records, grades, withdraw¬ als, and transfers. Mrs. Ethel Skinta is head of the switchboard, Mrs. Willaneta Pieroni, attendance, and Mrs. Cordia Brown, all incoming and outgoing money. Mrs. Eileen Vance is the head secre¬ tary and Mr. Christ Christoffs personal secretary. Mrs. Brenda Ford is in charge of the Basic Skill Tests, and Mrs. Evelyne Burrows takes care of student transcripts in the guidance of¬ fice. Mrs. Helen Bro dar is in charge of the sophomore and junior classes as well as enrollment, while Mrs. Penny Frazier takes care of book orders. Keeping order in the halls is one of the many jobs handled by school secu¬ rity. Lew Wallace High School has gone through many changes during this last decade. One in particular is the presence of security. Our security system consists of three groups. They start with the police offi¬ cers, supervisory aides, and hall matrons. 60 Administration Far left: Mrs. Vance tries to organize her desk af¬ ter a busy day.

Freshmen, Gerald Williams, Alice Perdue, and Martha Rios, found our li¬ brary to be ... a nice place to go when you need to study for a test ; ‘‘full of li¬ brarians and helpers that are nice and helpful, with plenty of good books to read ; a place to sit and listen to some of the records the library has, or a place to go from Study Hall. The library has become this way through the time and efforts of Mrs. M. Elizabeth Wilkerson, Mrs. Barbara B. Lewis, librarians, and Mr. Richard H. Scheub, A.V. Coordinator. Your headache is gone, your tem¬ perature goes down, and the stomach ache that wouldn’t quit is soon re¬ lieved in the nurse’s office. Even the slightest of pain is quicky forgotten when you’re in the hands of Mrs. M. Swisher and her aides Mrs. K. Snowdin, and Mrs. E. Vodenik.

Under the direction of Mr. Mochan, department chairman, various pro¬ grams such as Career Day, College N ight, and visits by college representa¬ tives have been constant throughout the year. All programs are designed to aid students in the task of facing post- high school days. 64 Academics Program attracts gifted and talented’ The Gifted and Talented program continues throughout the school year. At the beginning of the year, students names are suggested for various areas of study in the program by friends and teachers. The students go through a complete evaluation by the teachers before the final, select group of names are posted. The Gifted and Talented program in¬ cludes areas of study that range from math, medicine, to dance. Activities in each area are arranged according to the specific field of study. The students meet once a month in the school library with Mr. George Or- lich, coordinator, and the school ad¬ ministrators exchanging new experiences. Mr. Orlich thought the program was a good experience for the students. Left: Sitting-Mrs. Mary Sewell, Mrs. Mary Sharp, Mrs. Ardenia Upshaw.

Academics 65 English department covers many areas With the end of one decade and the beginning of another things are liable to change. The Lew Wallace English department went through several changes. This year we added to our staff four teachers in various areas of the department. Other changes included the addition of Competency II to the pre-graduation req uirements for next year. Com¬ petency II is a program designed to en¬ dorse the students in a particular area of study in addition to their diploma. The English department covers other areas of study rather than just the basic reading, writing, and homework. The department consists of the speech and journalism classes, too. Although speech is only a one se¬ mester required course, it is very im¬ portant because it helps in the devel¬ opment of speaking skills within the student’s speech. There was only one change in the speech curriculum. The Oral Profi¬ ciency Test, which each student must pass before graduation, was made more difficult this year. The test con¬ sists of eight categories ranging from articulation to the use of complete sentences. The journalism classes, which are di¬ vided into two groups, yearbook and newspaper, made more changes also. The Quill and Blade , keeping in style with the “air of change,’ ' ad¬ justed. The changes included a new ad¬ visor and a different style of design. The new advisor, Mrs. Valerie Tanke, was formerly on the staff of the Indiana University yearbook, Arbutus. Under her guidance this yearbook staff sponsored the movie “The Deep,” sold Wallace T-shirts, and initiated a spirit stick competition. The stick was given to the class who bought the most year¬ books during the alloted time which turned out to be the class of ’79. The newspaper’s alterations con¬ sisted of a different format, and con¬ stant shifts in positions, including that of editor which was changed three times. Mrs. Sandra Craig, advisor, said the changes in status were put in so that each person would have the chance to experience the responsibility of put¬ ting together the newspaper. The newspaper is published twice a month at a cost of 15 cents. The Philosopher’s activities this year included its annual “Christmas Wish” sales, and Carnation Day.

Above: The drama class performs its Christmas play. Left: Mrs. Betty Yorko encourages students to try new ways of studying. Computer, labs aid daily instruction Math is a subject which few students enjoy taking. A student must take two math courses to graduate which may range from Algebra I to Calculus. The math department has acquired a new computer which is used by the faculty and students. This year 14 students participated in math contests across the state. Science is also a subject which stu¬ dents may enjoy. Students must take one course ranging from Life Science to Advanced Biology. A new addition to the science de¬ partment staff was Mr. Richard Stew¬ art who also teaches Latin. In the science classes, labs are teach¬ ing students to dissect frogs, to mea¬ sure the width of aluminum foil and to determine the amount of an element in a solution.

Another preparation, supplied by Mr. Ken Chaney, is a researc h paper. This helps students to understand the proceed- ures of college work. Also, the thing that helps students to have an idea of different study is the team-teaching method put in effect by Mr. John Rus¬ sell and Mrs. Lorraine King. The classes combined to attend movies, lec¬ tures and other projects. Jackie Solo¬ mon, junior, commented that she liked this method because she had the bene¬ fit of having both teachers. Student teachers were also a big help to students. They gave more attention to individual students, and at the same time they got the experience of teach¬ ing a class. This benefited the student teacher as well as the student. The business department also pre¬ pares students for college. They teach courses such as typing, shorthand, ac¬ counting and general business. They help students to master their skills so they can apply them in college courses. Junior John Benjamin, a Typing I stu¬ dent, said that this class was a good ex¬ perience and would help him in the fu¬ ture. The business department also helped students to get jobs at Pruden¬ tial Insurance with the skills they acquired. Below: Tony Schmitt, junior, practices his skills on a typewriter.

(Whether you spoke French or not it has attracted many students.) Over 140 students en¬ rolled in French this year,’ said Mrs. Deane Janjecic. Not all students decided to take French for the same reason. Maryann Djujich, sophomore, said she took French because Spanish is too hard, German is too confusing, and Mrs. Jan¬ jecic is a very nice teacher. Kathy Washington, a sophomore, said she chose to take French because she thinks French is a beautiful, ro¬ mantic language. Activities were designed by Mrs. Jan¬ jecic to be as helpful as possible to both college bound and non-college bound students. Other foreign language classes that were offered were Russian, Latin, Ger¬ man and Spanish. Another thing that attracted many students was “Godspell,” the perfor¬ mance given by Mr. Michael Merker’s drama classes. Lori Nash, junior, showed her enthusiasm in the play by expressing her feelings toward acting, singing, and dancing. For those students musically in¬ clined, courses were offered in per¬ forming arts including band and choir. Art classes provided another elective.

Home economics is not limited to only girls. Boys were a part of home economics also. The classes were kept busy this year doing window displays each month, a Christ¬ mas Tea for parents, a fashion show for the SPTU, and guest speakers. For those students who plan mar¬ riage after graduation, these courses are ideal to take for the future. Even those interested in careers could enroll in far more complicated courses such as Interpersonal Relations or Con¬ sumer Education. They supply much help in learning to deal with rising costs, people and personal hygiene. Special Services gives aid to all stu¬ dents who need assistance in school subjects, disabilities or impairments. The program ties right in with the stu¬ dent’s individual needs. The program aided more than 120 students this year. Mr. Bashir Masoodi, coordinator, said next year they hope to be able to help many more students.

Right: Wendall Harris, senior, uses his knowl¬ edge of mechanics and protection gear while us¬ ing a torch. Students pursue trade careers The industrial arts classes inticed more than just boys. Over 22 girls were enrolled this year. Industrial arts gave both girls and boys the chance to learn a trade whether it be in metal, wood, print or mechanic shop. Mr. Fred Janizek, teacher, said, “I en¬ joy working with the girls. They are both interested and interesting.” “We learn to do by doing. We do best what interests us. Interest is main¬ tained when we experience success. Sustained interest in a particular type of activity is one indication of voca¬ tional talent,” is the motto of the Tech¬ nical Vocational School (Tech.) Tech gave many Lew Wallace students the opportunity to pursue a vocational field. Careers range from carpentry to modern electronics. Most courses last only one year, however, several areas may be taken concurrently. Center: Darren Christian, senior, tries to figure out how to work one of the machines at Tech School.

Swimming is just one of the many facets of the co-ed gym classes here at Wallace. In gym, each individual dis¬ covers skills and works with them. Whether it be baseball, volleyball or basketball, important qualities stressed are sportsmanship, leadership and cooperation. Leadership, the ability to effectively function in a social and military sitting, responsibility, discipline, first aid and the use of weapons are emphasized in ROTC. The ROTC program presents to young men and women the opportu¬ nity to participate in an organization of training which best determines lead¬ ership ability. At the end of the year students have the advantage of receiving awards and achievements. One section of ROTC is the Girls’ Drill Team, under the command of ju¬ nior Wilma Gassion, won a first place and an exhibition trophy. Gassion also received the Outstanding Commander trophy at West Side. Above: Students participate in basketball activi¬ ties during gym class.

The movie “Oh God” was shown in the Polk gym along with the many activities of Spirit Week during March 19-23. The traditional Football and Basketball Homecomings are also sponsored by the Student Council. Elections for the 1980 officers were in May with the annual Awards Day following. Officers for this year included Er¬ nest Newsome, president; Sue Marks, vice-president; Linda Davis, secretary; and Alice Hernandez, treasurer. President Earnest Newsome said, “1 feel there isn’t really low involvement, but the students aren’t as dedicated as they should be and once they start something they don’t finish it to a full extent.” Junior Rhonda Kaplar, Student Council representative, said, “They (Student Council) is not doing half as much as they use to and there is not as much leadership.” To p: Basketball Homecoming floats made by each class stand on display for judging.

Each nomi¬ nee must have obtained a grade point average of 3.0 for the previous five semesters. The society is sponsored by Mrs. Shirley Poogach. This year s officers were: Mark Vucekovich, president; Frank Venturella, vice president; Chris Weingart and Jeff Bode, co-secretaries; and Karen Waligura, treasurer. Some of the activities sponsored by this years society include the Navy Rock Band, and “Thank God It’s Friday,” which raised money for a new school IBM machine and various other events. The induction ceremony for new members this year was conducted on May 15, with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gordon McAndrew as guest speaker. The graduating class of 1979 consists of 458 students.

November 11 was the date set for the turnabout, “Let’s Dance.” This year the girls went in Sunday best instead of semi-formal as tradition was broken when the old gym was decorated with flourescent night scenes and disco music. A bus loaded with Girls’ Club shop¬ pers left for Water Tower Place in De¬ cember and Schaumburg in April. Visiting the Mills Rest Home was reaching out into the community by the club this year. Members brought magazines for the residents and spent the afternoon playing bingo. Once a month the faculty and ad¬ ministrators were treated to an after school tea with cookies made by desig¬ nated homerooms. Although the Girls’ Club was not as active this year as it has been in the past, Miss Dorothy Kouvelas, co-spon¬ sor, commented that the activities fell through because of lack of participation.

Organizations 97 It’s not right; do it over and over and ... This year, the 1979 Quill and Blade was put together by a staff consisting of 33 students. Working during the two hours scheduled for yearbook and af¬ ter school, holidays, weekends, etc., the staff put in hours of work towards completing the book. For the third consecutive year, the Quill and Blade acquired a new advisor. Mrs. Valerie Tanke took over the task of steering the staffers in the right direction and trying to bring order to the often dis¬ orderly operation. This year’s staff consisted of only eight veterans, making it a basically in¬ experienced staff. The year started out with an advertisement campaign and the sale of the book itself. At one point, declining sales sug¬ gested the possibility of there not being a yearbook next y ear and that this year’s would have to be drastically reduced. Thanks to the staff putting out an ef¬ fort to raise money through t-shirt sales, the selling of tickets for the movie, “The Deep,” and advertising sales, the money for the making of the yearbook normally gotten from book sales was raised. 98 Organizations Philosopher Philosopher Staff: Mrs. Clara Williams, mentor, Kathy McDonald, Mrs. Sondra Craig, advisor, Ruth Ann Cole, Steve Coleman, Virginia Blasco, ]on Morningstar.

After lacking the support of a con¬ cerned sponsor, the Drama Club fi¬ nally got its support from Mr. Merker who came here from a professional theater eager to start a Drama Club. Af¬ ter signing over 65 new members, Mr. Merker got right down to business. The club’s activities this year in¬ cluded a Christmas play entitled “The Little Star of Bethlehem,” a trip to Chi¬ cago to see the play “Spring’s Awak¬ ening” with a dinner, and their spring play, “Godspell.” After holding over 55 auditions, and rehearsing evening after evening, the club finally presented their play. “I don’t even have the words to de¬ scribe how I feel about the play. It’s one of the finest theatrical things that has happened to Lew Wallace in a long time,” said Principal Christ Christoff.

The club had only eight members which became their main problem this year. However, the lack of participa¬ tion didn’t stop the club from printing tickets and programs for many of the school’s functions. The Pica Club also printed programs for other surround¬ ing schools. Printing over 1500 message pads for Indiana became the major project for the eight members. “I wish more people would get in¬ volved in the 42 year old club or it will diminish,” said junior Preston Ben- edyk, president.

Hornets recapture city crown ' 6 o A new coach and a young deter¬ mined team pulled everything together for it’s 4th consecutive Northwest Con¬ ference Championship and a 6-4 season. Coach Dave Templin saw inexperi¬ ence in the line and backfield as the season began. Under the leadership of senior co-captains Marty Stefanelli and Dave Kazmarski, the gridmen buzzed to an impressive Football O’Rama vic¬ tory over West Side and Wirt. The Hornets confidently met it’s first challenger. With victory insight, Wall¬ ace felt the painful sting as the Calu¬ met Warriors scored a final touch¬ down with 12 seconds on the clock, 7-6. Next, Merrillville traveled to Hornet territory with Wallace seeding an up¬ set over the Pirates. However, the fighting Hornets couldn’t penetrate the tough Pirate defense, 35-0. After the game, Coach Templin said, “I don’t think we had any blocking. We’re a young ball club and we’re trying.” Wallace proceeded to regroup for an overdue victory, stopping the city challenger, Emerson, 28-12. Venturing downstate with a bus caravan full of Hornet boosters and a confident team, the gridmen faced un¬ beaten Indianapolis Marshall. Unable to stop the Patriot drive, defeat was in¬ evitable, 28-0. Homecoming—all previous defeats forgotten with spirits and anticipation mounting, Wallace prepared to stomp the Horsemen. After touchdowns by junior back Joe Dixon, senior end Dar¬ ryl Goosby, and sophomore halfback Jeff Randle, Horace Mann bowed to Wallace, 22-12. Injuries and penalties plagued the Hornet attack during a rout with Ho¬ bart. Key Hornet players watched from the sidelines. The black and gold de¬ fense displayed a great amount of de¬ termination, featuring Stefanelli’s out¬ standing performance with 6 solo tackles and 10 assists. However, the Brickies dominated the offensive ac¬ tion winning, 21-0. Above: Struggling to a victory over Andrean, ju¬ nior back joe Dixon dashes for crucial yardage.

Sophomore quar¬ terback Rich Gonzalez’s expert passing to senior, Tom Isailovich, scored the lone touchdown, defeating the 59’ers, 7-0. While clobbering the Roosevelt Pan¬ thers, 40-13, senior fullback, Charles English, ran for an impressive 97 yd. touchdown. Gonzalez’s accurate passes and long ground gains shared in the landslide victory over West Side, 41-15. Isailov¬ ich snatched the ball from the air for three touchdowns on three identical plays. Rounding out the season, the Horn¬ ets captured their final victory over Wirt with two touchdowns by English for a 33-6 celebration. The 1979 Hornet squad was honored with four members selected to the All Northwestern Conference Team. Ju¬ nior back Joe Dixon and senior end Tom Isailovich were nominated to the All Northwestern Conference Offense.

Reserves come alive mid-season The 1978-79 Reserve Football Team gained experience for the season’s re¬ mainder after a disappointing start, as the gridders fell victim to Andrean, 21- 0, and Roosevelt, 7-0. Despite their 3-3 record, the next two challenges were victories for Lew Wallace, stiffling Horace Mann, 16-0, as Junior Darrick Collins finished off Emerson, 16-0, with a blocked punt for another six points. A bright spot emerged as Albert Wright, junior, lead the offense, scor¬ ing 32 points against Wirt. Wright scored 4 touchdowns and four 2-point conversions as Wallace stomped the Troopers, 40-0. During the season closer, West Side succeeded in stopping the Hornet at¬ tack, 14-8.

After winning the first two matches against West Side, 3-2, and Horace Mann, 5-0, the Hornets fell victim to Calumet, 5-0. The Hornets defeated Lake Station, 3-2, bouncing back from the four game losing streak. At this time, the team lost three start¬ ing players for the season, leaving in¬ experienced players to fill the vacancies.

Volleyball 125 Hornet’s slow start predicts losing 7-14 season The Wallace Hornets dribbled their way through a disappointing, but often surprising 7-14 season. With only one win in the first ten games, the rest of the season looked pretty grim for the players and fans alike. In the season opener against Wirt, the eventual Northwest Conference champs, they dropped a 64-63 decision in the final seconds of the game. Three days later they fell to sixth ranked Merrillville by only six points, 55-40, in the contest between the two rivals. As they entered the Andrean game, the Hornets had high hopes for a vic¬ tory. After leading the twelfth ranked 59’ers for almost the entire game, they lost control of the ball and Andrean took advantage of the mistake by hit¬ ting the game winning basket with only two seconds left. The roundballers again lost by a hair to the Roosevelt Panthers, 49-47. After carrying a lead from the second quar¬ ter until only three minutes were left in the game, the Hornets lost their sting and the game ended in favor of the Panthers. Finally the first home game came and Hornet hopes were high. Wallace power proved to be too strong for the Hammond Morton visitors as they fell to Wallace, 63-60. The Hornets were unable to collect a single win in the next six games. In the Hammond High game senior Chuck “Chucko Albrecht scored a ca¬ reer high of 30 points, but the Hornets could not pull it through. Coach Bill Kukoy got upset over an obvious tri¬ pping foul against senior Sherman Paul that the referees did not see.

Wallace suffered its first big loss to Horace Mann, 80-73. The dribblers then lost to Emerson in overtime, 48-44, in the first game of the Holiday Tourney. They were unable to do any better when they replaced Emerson a week later and lost, 78-49. After losing three straight games to Hammond Tech, 54-46, Calumet, 76-68, and Valparaiso, 62-54, the fighting Hornets defeated Whiting, 63-54, and West Side, 77-73, which helped raise their sagging spirits. 126 Basketball Left: Junior Richord Woods saves the ball during the Merrillville game.

Basketball 127 LW over Gavit, 106-65 sends spirits soaring With a nearly two week snow break from play coming up, the Hornets looked forward to the upcoming Ham¬ mond Gavit game. Wallace’s spirit soared as the Gladiators were defeated very convincingly, 106-65. This was the highest scoring game for the Hornets since 1975. Senior Darryl “Goose” Goosby collected 28 points and the high scorer position. He was followed by junior Richard Woods and soph¬ omore Jeff Fullove with 16 points a piece. The Hornets lost another close one to the Hobart Brickies, 66-64. “Chucko” Albrecht bounced a 60-footer off the rim as time ran out. He also received high scoring honors with 23 points. Wallace showed its rebounding ability as senior Carlton Crummie collected 15 rebounds and “Goose” grabbed 12. “Chucko” switched a shot with 15 sec¬ onds left and secured the game with the help of Paul who hit two free throws with five seconds remaining. The dribblers victory over the River Forest Ingots, 85-81, was a surprise to everyone except the team. They started off with a 16-0 spread in the first quar¬ ter and then held off a surge by the In¬ gots to hold the lead. Paul, Goosby and Albrecht combined for 63 of the 85 Hornet points. Going into the game against No. 1 ranked South Bend Adams, Wallace had high hopes, but little chance for success as they lost 102-70. Paul again received high scoring honors with 19 points, followed by Goosby, who added 17 points. Defeat struck hard in the final game of the year against Wirt in the secion- als. After a tense struggle in the first half, the Wirt Troopers got fired up and defeated Wallace 69-52. Paul paced the Hornets with 16 points, and was followed by Goosby with 12 points. As the season closed Wallace showed why they were able to play so well against many state-ranked teams. Goosby and Albrecht placed among the top 10 scorers in Gary, while Woods and Paul ranked eleventh and twelfth, respectively. Goosby also re¬ ceived an honorable mention for slam- dunking in the Northwest Conference. 128 Basketball % 0 The 1978-79 Varsity Basketball Team: Front Row—Frank Venturella, manager.

This year’s young team was made up of six sophomores and two juniors. The individual scoring was pretty even, showing that team work was present. Junior Reginald Frank, and soph¬ omores Jeff Fullove and Rick Gonzales were moved up to varsity during the last half of the season for more varsity bench strength. Coach Tom Ward said his players showed a lot of promise and should make a good varsity squad next year.

The stand outs this season were ju¬ niors Wendell Carey and Dayon Walker, each winning a first in a triple dual meet. Walker and Carey both cap¬ tured a first in the city tournament at 132 and 155 lbs., respectively. Senior captains Carlton Knox, Ron Bolden, Skip Shultz and Mike Tillot- son displayed a great amount of pride throughout the season. Knox and Til- lotson were triple dual champions at Lake Station, while Schultz was the de¬ fending two-time city champion and the Chesterton Tournament champion at 105 lbs. Sophomore John Naughton, 105 lbs., had a very good season, placing second in the city and a first in sectionals, qualifying him for regionals. Finishing second in the Northwest Conference Tournament highlighted the matmen’s 1979 season. Coach Henry Pimentil said, “Most of the Hornet losses were due to forfeits of weight classes, not Hornet inability to win. We met most of our goals this year and we’re going to meet them all next year.” VARSITY WRESTLING LW OPP 27 Kankakee Valley 44 22 Andrea n 37 24 Valparaiso 49 50 Horace Mann 16 33 Roosevelt 27 49 Emerson 17 17 West Side 53 44 Wirt 29 16 Chesterton 41 29 Griffith 31 46 Hanover Central 11 52 River Forest 9 19 Lake Station 51 Wrestling 133 Swimmers build with experience The 1978-79 Lew Wallace Swimming Team, led by Coach Mike Sosh and as¬ sisted by Coach Ralph Brasaemle, had their ups and downs, winning only four of their thirteen confrontations. Victory first came against Hammond Gavit, 103-60, the first meet of the sea¬ son. Disappointment soon followed as the mermen lost their next seven match-ups. The Hornets successfully stole victories from Roosevelt, 119-46; Horace Mann, 113-58; and Hammond Clark, 86-85, adding three more wins by the end of the season. Senior Joe Benjamin highlighted the season breaking the school record for the 500-yard freestyle with a winning time of 5:38.

In the diving competition, se¬ nior Kerry VanDerGiessen placed third. As the Hornets finished third in overall competition. The 400-yard freestyle relay team, consisting of seniors Dan Avalos and Joe Benjamin, junior John Benjamin, and sophomore Matt Sosh, swam their best time of the year, 3:55, during the sectional meet earning them sixth place.

Playing exceptionally well was start¬ ing senior Tracey Pest, who was also chosen to the all Northwestern Confer¬ ence Team. Victories over Crown Point and Hammond market the determina¬ tion of the team. Next year the loss of two starting se¬ niors will hopefully not affect the squad. Team effort will be stressed along with a rebuilding process. Missing a .500 season by one victory showed promise for the reserve team. Completing the season with a 5-7 record and being a young team adds hopes for next year. Miss Barb Bergdahl, from Badly Ju¬ nior High took over both varsity and reserve teams this year. Assisting the new coach was Miss Dorothy Kou- velas. Varsity Basketball LW OPP 50 Portage 72 31 Horace Mann 37 32 Crown Point 31 42 Wirt 45 46 M.C. Elston 53 37 E.C.

This record was not due to the clubmen’s inability to play, but due to the flooding of Gleason Park. Wallace had nine of their meets cancelled be¬ cause Gleason Park (the golfers home course) was under four feet of water due to the heavy snow and rain. The clubmen placed respectable in all their tournaments. In the city tour¬ nament LW golfers placed second with Frank Venturella finishing as a medal¬ ist with the score of 75. Venturella was also a medalist the year before and the team’s most valu¬ able player his sophomore and senior year. Coach Bill Kukoy remarked that the record did not reflect the team’s ability.

Together the se young men played fine baseball, compiling a 13-11 record in regular season play and a 3-1 record in tourney play. Lew Wallace scored a total of 51 runs against opposing city teams, win¬ ning seven of their ten conference games. The eight man pitching staff hurled and overall ERA of 2.87. Offen¬ sively the Hornets averaged .260 with 699 times at bat, 128 runs, 182 hits, 11 home runs and 112 RBI’s. Defensively they averaged .936 which represented 540 put outs, 212 assists and 50 errors. The black and gold baseballers swung into action in their season opener against the Wildcats of Ham¬ mond High. Due to bad weather, the game was called and then disregarded because it fell short of the necessary innings to count as a complete game. The next six games proved favorable for the batmen, each game was a vic¬ tory of which four were shut outs. The diamondmen ran into difficulty when they faced West Side in a double header, dropping both games to the Cougars, 6-10 and 2-6. Lew Wallace slid by Horace Mann 1-0, but once again had trouble in a double header with LaPorte as the sea¬ son slate dropped 8-4. It wasn’t until the second game of the Andrean twinbill when Coach Rus¬ sell’s men once again tasted victory. Our team made quite a comeback stealing the game from the 59’ers, 8-3. Wallace fell prey to the Pirates of Merrillville, 0-2, 5-9, Hobart, 2-8, and Crown Point, 6-7, but had no trouble with Wirt, 16-0, and Emerson, 10-0. The last two games were called early on ac¬ count of a ten run rule. Calumet gave the Hornets little trouble in a game played under lights, but Wallace reigned victoriously in the end, 11-10. Coach Russell’s men then traveled to Lake Station for the sectional tourna¬ ment. The Hornets squeezed by Roose¬ velt 5-2, and upset Lake Station, 6-4. 142 Baseball 6 . o The 1978-79 Varsity Baseball Team: Kneeling—Joe Saffa, Don Brummet, Ray Arambula, Tom Trini¬ dad.

Senior Shawn Corle was awarded the game ball for his magnificant con¬ tribution, he smacked four home runs helping the Hornets win the sectional crown. The reserve baseball team led by Coach Steve Homner experienced un- controlable problems. The short-lived season was plagued by bad weather and the lack of a good playing field.

The officers that led us through our senior year were Beth Bishop, presi¬ dent; Dan Avalos, vice-president; Adele Arciniega, secretary; and Mila Matan, treasurer. We had many fun and exciting times at Lew Wallace attending disco dances, car washes, tournabouts, the Olympics, Homecoming and the Prom. The seniors appreciated help from teachers who made our last year some¬ thing to remember. Senior Week, filled with many activ¬ ities, became a climax to our days at Lew Wallace. Commencement, the last event for the senior class, was very excitin g as diplomas were received on June 4 in the Polk Gymnasium. Many students will be going to col¬ lege and others will be going to work but everyone will always remember their senior year at Lew Wallace High School, according to Beth Bishop, “The class of 1979 was the best class ever to attend Lew Wallace.

Prom was an expensive event as guys rented tuxes, bought flowers, paid for pictures, dinner and the day after the Prom while girls only had to pur¬ chase their dress and booteneier. The most important and expensive event of your senior year was graduation. First came the ordering of your se¬ nior pictures and then the ordering of announcements. The cost of announce¬ ments ran from $20 to $80 depending on the package size. As a senior you also paid for your cap and gown. Other graduation ex¬ penses included the cost of your open- house, such as food, invitations, band, hall and etc. In order to afford senior year ex¬ penses many students found jobs. The most popular jobs were ones at popular fast food places, McDonald’s and Burger King. The most popular de¬ partment store for senior employment was Venture. Getting paid every two weeks brought in enough money for lunch hour and extra expenses. Your senior year was the most im¬ portant and the most expensive year, but it was also your BEST!

At this time, seniors are instructed on how to fill our tax forms, how our government functions, how prices as¬ cend, and how the past, present, and future political situations of the world are viewed. Senior Don Auxier said, “It showed me how much the government and our economic system really effects me as an individual, where as I had no idea before. It also teaches how complex the government is and forewarns some of the many loop-holes that the govern¬ ment can catch you in.” 166 Seniors Gloria Yolanda Recio Debra Lynn Reid Joseph Patrick Renik Yolanda Rivera Miguel Angel Rodriguez Laura Ann Rogers Shari Renee Rogers Yvette Rummage Trade Lynn Samson Yolanda Sanchez Deniece Nakia Schuler Skipp Todd Schultz Nancy Ann Schutz Patricia Lynn Scott Daniel L.

Music was provided by Three’s A Crowd and Creative Soul. Orange t- shirts were given as Prom favors with “Just You Me” written on them. Percy Giles, senior, said “Everything about the Prom was nice—all except the band. It was lousy. The setting was nice and the refreshments were good. Next year it would be almost perfect if you could get a band that could play fast music as well as slow music.” Alice Hernandez, senior, said, “The decorations this year were the best I’ve ever seen. The food was really good and hot, but the second band c ould have been better! The Prom favors were the best idea they ever had. I can wear it anytime!” “It was beautiful.

Class of 1980 struggles for organization The Class of 1980 started off on the wrong foot, but managed to make it a happy one this being as their last year as underclassmen. The juniors were met with mis¬ fortune at the very beginning of the year. At the officers’ inauguration, elected president Steve Warren was unable to attend. The vice-president, who normally would have been sworn in as temporary president, moved out of the area and was attending another school. Janet Mitchell, the new vice-presi¬ dent, took her place and became tem¬ porary president, giving the junior in¬ augural address. At this time, Bev Fernandez was selected as class trea¬ surer, and Bridgette Hill was made sec¬ retary, later to be replaced by Gretchen Harris. Because of poor class participation, not many juniors were aware of the mix-up. There were only about 20 ju¬ niors who attended class meetings regularly. Being in their last year as under¬ classmen, they tried to make up for the deficit in class spirit with a successful prom. 174 Juniors Wanda Borrero, John Bottos, Eric Bouler, Dave Bradas, Barry Bradford.

Her other school activities include varsity cheerleading, Girls’ Club and Student Council, positions which she hopes to repeat in her senior year. Considering a career, Jackie de¬ cided to become a stewardess be¬ cause she enjoys traveling. But if she chooses not to take to the friendly skies, she said her next choice would be a medical career. Jackie said, The class is not as dead as most people have been led to believe.” She accounts the prob¬ lem to poor class participation.

Spirit soars for Class of 1981 Freshmen think they know every¬ thing, but they don’t. Sophomore’s have spirit and they know it! Students elected to guide the soph¬ omore class spirit were Matt Sosh, president; Gail Nahod, vice-president; Betina Winters, secretary; and Doug Johnston, treasurer. Sophomore spirit not only appeared at football games, basketball games and pep rallies, but sophomore spirit helped make summer car washes suc¬ cessful, too. For Football Homecoming the soph¬ omores memorized and chanted, “We’re from Wallace High School and no one could be prouder and if you can not hear us we’ll yell a little louder,” winning the Spirit Stick for the first time. Later that evening the Class of 1981 captured first place for their Homecoming float, “Loop the Horsemen”. Yes, the sophomores know what they have and what they have is spirit! 182 Sophomores Preena Boyd, Bruce Brown, James Brown, Mary Brown, William Brown, Willie Mae Brown, Tammy Brunski, Audrea Bryant.

Reri Barrett excells in speech contests Sophomore Reri Barrett journeyed to a Gary championship speech meet dur¬ ing his freshman year as a rookie, moti¬ vating his interest for the speech team. The first step in a speech com¬ petition is deciding in which category to compete. Reri picked poetry for his concentration. Some of Reri’s victories include a third place in the Lake County section¬ als which qualified him for the region¬ al. There Reri won fifth place which allowed him to participate in the state competition. Reri is the only individual from Gary to enter the state finals. With the theme of “Should Public Employees Have the Right to Strike,” Reri won the Gary Rotary Club Speech Contest. Miss Sarah Munier, speech coach, said that Reri is good but could use some improvement. Brian Wise, Karen Wise, Mike Wisneski, Michael Woods. Donna Woodson, David Wright, Bill Wyant, Elizabeth Wymer.

LW spirit new to class of 1982 The dreaded Freshman Week is not looked forward to by freshmen, but of course, eagerly awaited by the up¬ perclassmen. It is just part of school spirit. One thing that the freshmen do have is school spirit. Even though they have not won the Spirit Stick, they have put much effort in trying their hardest to succeed not only in spirit, but in everything. Providing guidance through the first year at Lew Wallace were Freshmen class officers: Illiana Barnett, presi¬ dent; Frances Steffanelli, vice-presi¬ dent; Sharon Willmington, secretary; and Phyllis DeArmon, treasurer. Be proud when you say that you are a freshman and also when you say you will be graduating in the year 1982! Just remember—everyone at Lew Wallace was a freshman once.

Just barely past the half-year mark of her high school debut, Phyllis received a first place in a city-wide essay con¬ test, sponsored by the Gary Public School’ English department, with a contest theme of ‘‘All The Good Things You Should Know About My School.” Phyllis said, “Students complain that there aren’t enough activities, but when we do have them, they don’t sup¬ port them.” As with most classes, participation is a problem at meetings and class func¬ tions. The freshmen class is no ex¬ ception to this rule. On this subject she said, “The class of ’82 is somewhat slow now, but spirit will pick up next year once they’re used to this school and it’s activities.” To accomplish this it will take a strong willed person with an urge to strive forward. Phyllis DeArmon is that kind of person. Carla Toney. LaTanza Toomer, Susie Tsaparikos, Vicki Tsouris, Jim Tucker, Allen Vance, Alicia Vanover, Maria Vazquez.

Closing 237 238 Closing The end of a decade ... 1979. For some it marks the end of a period in their life never to be forgotten. For others, Looking back to all of the experi¬ ences I have had throughout my days at Lew Wallace, I can truthfully say one thing; I’ll never forget them. For me, these past four years have come and gone far too quickly. While working on this yearbook, there were times when I felt I wouldn’t make it! I found myself thinking of how quickly my hair would take to grow back if I pulled it out while going crazy trying to meet a deadline. Or how long it would take for people to notice that Mrs. Tanke was gone, and where to hide the body! After all of the insanity drained away and everyone sat back and looked at what we all had wasted a year on, we couldn’t help but have a feeling of accomplishment and pride. For those of you who have supported us (if you’re reading this you have), I thank you. For those of you who re¬ main at Lew Wallace—GOOD LUCK! Carol Hocza Editor .y
