It’s the thud and stuff of people that spark a school, that define its limits, that harbor its memories. A school is only as good or bad as people make it. Like the lyrics say “We can make it or break it.” School has always been the dream of free men and the idea of pulling together. “This School’s A Front and We’re Behind It.” Now, let’s believe it! l i.

In general, seniors of 1985 put musical stars at the top. They like small, sleek sports cars too. An interesting point that came to light in the poll was that a number of today’s sen¬ iors had difficulty with mul¬ tiple choices in general.

Look-alikes ' Say, you look njki Shy do some teens think it’s a real kick looking like someone else? People im¬ personators, identical twins, and matching outfits are some- ways teens end up as look- alikes. Sometimes looking like a ce¬ lebrity spells out dollars and cents. Bert Simono and Eric Evans, both 17, of Los Angeles, are two well-known Michael Jackson look-alikes. On the local scene, there’s Grover Hanley, a student at Horace Mann, a Michael Jack- son impersonator, and Charles McKinzie, LW freshman (pictured on p. 16), a spitting image of Prince. McKinzie said he began dress¬ ing like his idol after seeing the movie “Purple Rain.” Senior Paul Posey likes to imagine himself an Eddie Mur¬ phy look-alike. “Most of the student body has called me Ed¬ die at one time or another,” claims Paul. Twins are another kind of look-alikes. There are LW twins Brandon and Belinda Wellons, seniors; John and Santiago Rivera, juniors; Gena and Lisa Mabone, ju¬ niors; and Gina and Jewel Barrett, juniors, for openers. □ written by Yvonne Abel.

Dressed-up in their best and wrapped in silky caps and gowns, the black and gold se¬ nior line paraded down to the Polk gymnasium floor below, to their seats, row after row, and politely listened to Sonya Carter, class vice president, give the invocation, to Belinda Wellons, salutatorian, and to Calita Elston, valedictorian, give their orations, and waited, too, for their names to be called by Christ Christoff, princi¬ pal. One by one, the diplomas were placed in their hands at last, amid glad smiles, bobbing tassels, and whistled toots. Angela McFall, class presi¬ dent, gave the benediction, and then they knew it was really over. Amid tears, cheers, and roses, the seniors had come full circle. □ written by Jass. Graduation c s t OUTIOCR Big snow hits hard Gary schools don ' t close 0 n February 12, 1985, snow and sub-zero tem- peratures had hit the Calumet region hard. So abruptly had the snowstorm struck that residential side streets had re¬ mained unplowed, most suburban roads were impassable, and even the main thoroughfares that had been opened were hazardous at best. And walking, well, forget it. On the local radio stations, disk jockeys announced every fifteen minutes or so that all schools in Northwest Indiana had been offi¬ cially closed for fear of peril to students and risk to staff. Young children, in particular, were a con¬ cern un the decisions to close schools. All schools had been shut down, that is, excepting for the Gary Community Schools. They alone were being kept open for, some said, very “cold” reasons. A few diehards however, man¬ aged foraged their ways through the frigid snow drifts that had paralyzed the city. Teachers and staff who wanted to get paid some¬ how made it through too. And what about education and learning? Well, they returned the day after — with a note, perspective by Jass. Looking lonesome, T.J. Wilusz, junior, is one of a handful of Gary students who showed-up for school. Other area schools had been closed because of the heavy snow fall. it Academics 30 FOREIGN LANGUAGES French is still a very ro¬ mantic language, as born out by Traci Bishop, senior, at¬ tired for this year’s Mardi Gras in Mrs. DeLoaches’. 38 J.R.O.T.C. “Sir.

Academics - Five go junket to Hill Richardson During Black History Month, an assembly honoring the late Dr. Martin Luther King was held in the LW auditorium. Above, LaWanda Warnsley, junior, and QUEST teacher Earline Campbell meet with the Rev. Robert Lowery, the featured speaker. uring the week of March 24, four of us from LW, accom¬ panied by our Government E¬ conomics teacher Glorya Cot- ten, went to Washington, D.C. as a part of the Close-up Foun¬ dation Program. Fifteen students and six teachers in all from Gary made the trip. The four of us had been se¬ lected from Mrs. Cotten’s ad¬ vanced senior class: Belinda Wellons, Christi Strope, Chioma Echemuna, and my¬ self. Three had received full scholarships from private en¬ terprises to pay for the $846 plus cost of the trip. “We went on sightseeing tours of The Pentagon, White House, Arlington National Ce- metary, and Georgetown. We were personally introduced to Senator Day Quayle and Rep. Peter Visclosky of Indiana. We, also, went to see the play “God- spell,’ ” added Mrs. Cotten. On the way home, Chioma confided to me that it was a great learning experience. And I quite agree. □ written by Darnell Todd T o begin, I was one of a number of Union Carbide scholars chosen to fly to Washington, D.C., to attend a week long workshop. During my stay, I was able to meet with members of both the House and the Senate and to meet officials from the USSR and from Israel. I found it fascinating listening to these men. One lively activity we were all in¬ volved in was a brainy game entitled “Debt Busters.” In this game, we were supposed to pretend that the President of the United States had asked for our help in balancing the budget. Our main objective was to learn how to wheel and deal with special interests. The highlight of the workshop was p robably our pretending to be mem¬ bers of a model Congress. Our objec¬ tive this time was to research and legislate a bill in Congress. Our particular bill dealt with the problem of toxic waste. After multi¬ ple hours of reading, brain drain, and argument, our bill was voted into law. In all, the entire workshop experi¬ ence was most challenging and plea¬ surable to me. And I am very grateful to Union Carbide. □ written by Sherita Smith Students in government economics classes were heavily involved with adjunct speakers throughout the school year. This group of seniors listens attentively to an IRS official as he explains about future taxes and 1040 forms. 26 - Government Economics Wilusz Union Carbide Scholar Sherita Smith, junior, meets Indiana Rep.

Government teacher Dorothy Kouvelas explains responses to some of the class letters written to elected officials to a group of her seniors. Government Economics Mulling over some points in their writing, Michelle Lloyd and Steve Strong, seniors, proof their IUN essays in Betty Yorko’s English IV. Below, narrating her own climax for James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of The Mohicans , Natalie Merriweather, junior, tapes as she reads in Janet Sefton’s English III. Writers seek audiences I . JL-iike the cliche of the old saw, weary English teachers de¬ moan the chore of having to teach the writing basics over again to a new crop of hacks. But once in a while, this de¬ manding task seems to pay off when an exceptional student or two are able to feel the applause of appreciating audiences. This time, Betty Yorko, En¬ glish IV teacher, and two of her seniors, Steve Strong and Mi¬ chelle Lloyd, entered an essay contest, sponsored by Indiana University Northwest. The prize was a four year scholarship to IUN. Steve gave a rundown of the contest rules. “First, contestants were to write two essays on ordi¬ nary topics that were to be judged by their English teachers.” Mrs. Yorko explained, “I se¬ lected Steve’s and Michelle’s be¬ cause they didn’t have any prob¬ lem with spelling, grammar, or sentence writing.” Once chosen by their English teacher, at IUN they had to com¬ pete again with other students from other local schools, the likes of Merrillville, Bishop Noll, and Roosevelt, in writing two more essays within a given time period. Michelle said that after writ¬ ing the essays, they were treated to a catered lunch and a tour of the IUN Library. Then several days later, both Steve and Michelle received let¬ ters of appreciation from IUN of¬ ficials, thanking them and asking them to visit the campus again real soon. □ written by Rose M.

High school mathematics has come a long way since the horse and buggy days. Here Sean Morris, sophomore, does some board calculations under the wary eyes of James Hill, math teacher. Learning how to look through a microscope is essential in science courses. David Dominguez, sophomore, and some classmates engage in a hands-on learning activity.

Here, Wanda Lawson, junior, dressed in her Indian sari, is seen on her way to a soiree at Madam DeLoaches’. The dance as demonstrated by Joe Peluyera, junior, and his partner in Mrs. Lopez’s Spanish class, is an integral part of the Spanish culture. The Omni Dancers, under the leadership of Yolanda Hall, math teacher, perform during Black History Month’s Martin Luther King Assembly. Rivera 30 - Spanish French ‘Sneaky Fitch rides again’ k.7 neaky Fitch Rides Again” is a western comedy about a cow¬ poke by the same name. No one in town likes the “dude” ’cause he’s a dang “nerd”, even in them thar days. One day though, Sneaky decides he’s gotta change ta way he looks, ’cause he’s look’n like somethang they’d drugged outter the mine, ev’n ta hisself. So, as the story goes, Sneaky changes his “cowlook” (Excuse the pun) and his attatude, too, and becomes one bad ’n sassy feller. Trouble tis nobody likes him this way nuther, ’cause even though he’s no longer a nerd, now he’s jest a plain ’n bossy jerk! In the end, it just goes ta show ya, Sneaky ’n never change what he really is deep down — a jerk as well as a nerd — no matter how he changes the outside. (Think may¬ be there’s a moral in this hare somewheres.) Anyways, members of the Dra¬ ma II cast who performed this hare dandy litt’l western were (1 to r) Todd Gibson, senior; Walter Pierce, senior; Janene Kimble, sophomore; Schelunda Herron, sophomore; Stanley Brooks, ju¬ nior; Randolph Reeves, junior; Michelle Williams, junior; Wil¬ liam Winston, sophomore; Brent Sims, junior; and Sa¬ brina Collins, sophomore. □ reported by Stanley Brooks Avila What used to be drafting is now called “technical drawing.” At right, Raymond Pleasant, senior, and a Career Center classmate work on their blueprints. TV students count on edge Area steel mills, — hat with today’s job markets getting closer and closer to the pits and what with the Calumet Region’s steel mills go¬ ing down the tubes, due to for¬ eign competition and all, local high school graduates with gen¬ eral diplomas are a dime a dozen who can no longer count on jobs in the Gary steel mills support¬ ing them for the rest of their lives. And everybody can’t go to college either. Maybe students who have cho¬ sen industrial arts and other vo¬ cational courses either at LW or in ‘Rust Belt’ at the Gary Career Center are the ones with the most smarts. May¬ be these practically minded indi¬ viduals see an edge in preparing for their future work before grad¬ uation. And who can blame them? Frequently, statistics show it’s persons like themselves, stu¬ dents with the technical-voca¬ tional backgrounds, who get get first cracks at the all-important job interviews, be they some¬ where here in the Rust Belt or south of the Mason-Dixon. □ perspective by Jass.

Having some second thoughts about the price of charity, Kelly Pilotos, senior, endures the needle’s edge. 36 - Students Donate S ometimes we forget there are wretched corners in this world, places where mothers and their babies die helplessly in each other’s arms, where human beings turn into skele¬ tons and vacant eyes stare hopelessly. Such a place is Ethiopia where few cries are heard, but where millions are ex¬ pected to die. While here at LW, a small mir¬ acle happened. We looked into their starving faces and saw a part of ourselves. We began to care. A V-library technician Caro¬ lyn Stefanelli created a show¬ case outside the library that de¬ picted a money pipeline from Gary to Ethiopia, filling empty bowls and barren baskets. “We looked into their faces and saw ourselves.” Then Student Council placed a contribution can in Bettye Ei- chelberger’s Hornet’s Nest and students and teachers alike began __ collecting dona¬ tions for a whole month — until over $525 dollars was collected and a check presented to Principal Christ Christoff by Roderick Frazier, Student Council president, to help the sad, sad people of Ethiopia. “I feel a deep sense of pride deep down in¬ side,” said Max¬ ine Ciminillo, Student Council sponsor. “I trust and pray this money does as much good abroad as it would have here. The plight of the Ethiopians has raised our individual consciousness and we cannot forget them again.” Practicing what her logo preaches, Yvonne Abel, junior, gives of her time and energy just to help out at the Special Olympics. In the Special Olympics held at LW, one of the young participants proudly displays the ribbons that he won. LW teachers and staff get together at the Retirement Luncheon and enjoy some of the mouth watering delectables spread out on the banquet table and wish “Bon Voyage” to the six who retired this year. One of Margaret Read’s prize pupils in home economics, Estella Santana, junior, helps serve invited guests at one of Mrs. Read’s many social gatherings. Special Olympics Fellowship Standing at rapt attention during a ROTC inspection, Cadet Brian Richardson, junior, at the forefront, and his fellow corpsmen take a serious attitude towards receiving demerits from their superior officers. ROTC drummers Franklin Milledge and Bryant Graves, juniors, provide the traditional military tap and roll as Drill Team members perform in Polk Gym. 38 - ROTC ‘Major, I dinna know ya’ ROTC cadets need the right stuff H _,e shouldn’t have come down on us so hard,” moaned Ke¬ vin Robinson, sophomore. “When we didn’t know the right answer, he gave us demerits,” complained Gregory Carbins, sophomore. “I think he did a good job in inspecting our class,” countered LaWanda Waldon, sophomore. Mark Stoval, junior, agreeing with LaWanda, added, “The in¬ spection was good. It’s great disci¬ pline.” “Yes, I think they needed it,” nodded Lorenzo Eggerson, se¬ nior. Sgt. Grant Jackson elaborat¬ ed on the comments of the ROTC cadets, “Everyone needs to thank Major Ray Mason for doing his job. If certain cadets had been pre¬ sented in the proper manner, they would not have been singled out of the rest. These types of cadets are a disgrace to the corps. If they can’t take the heat, they should get out of the kitchen, Harry Tru¬ man used to say. They have to learn that we all get yelled at sooner or later. And as for Mr. Mason, well, he’s the best there is. Senior Kathy McClendon couldn’t have agreed more. “ROTC isn’t a gym class where you can just play and talk: it’s ground training for those who in¬ tend to join the military. Some ca¬ dets feel we’re trying to pick on them, but this just isn’t true. We’re trying to make them better soldiers and stronger leaders.” And what exactly was Major Mason’s response to all the hoopla? “When I graduate, I want the LW ROTC program to be the best. This is my last year and I see many cadets who are not up to snuff. I feel it’s my duty to pass on to them what I myself have been privileged to have learned here.” □ written by Tina Mclntee ROTC Cadet James Taylor, senior, and his riffle perform for the R and R of a Polk Gym audience.

The candid camera’s comtemplative eye has caught glimpses of its wag and capers and captured some of its bits and pieces sandwiched in between, like so much sweet relish topping, and winning kingers and queens.

Greats, like Ansel Adams, have developed modern photography into a real art form. In Janet Sefton’s Journalism II, budding photo-journalists like John Rivera, Stanley Brooks, Brian Richardson, juniors, and Steven Webb, sophomore, in ad¬ dition to their regular monthly as¬ signs, took on the extra task of competing with one another for Best Shot of the Year. They had thought about what their advisor had told them — that ace photographers are natur¬ als. A lot of people simply can’t take a good picture. Sure they can be taught its basics, trained in its principles, and advanced in its styles. But photogs with talent are born and not made. The art of photography is more than depth of field and the rule of thirds. It’s the inate ability to cre¬ ate through the camera’s eye something original from the com¬ mon place. The photog with talent has a working knowledge of dra¬ matic composition, of light and dark, of action and mood. Underneath what appears sim¬ ple at first glance is really a com¬ plicated synchronization of many components that somehow work right together within a fraction of a second. Split second timing and good reflexes are critical to the would be pro. Shown is the pictorial art that photographers Webb, Rivera, Richardson, and Brooks submit¬ ted for Best Shot of the Year.

Art And Photography Evening grads make it D ay school wasn’t everybody’s cup of tea, for a lot of rea¬ sons. Some young people, and some not so young, elected to attend LW Eve¬ ning School — possibly because they needed more credits to graduate, maybe because they had families and jobs to tend to during the day. Some choose night school because it was more adult orientated. And others returned to evening school because it was a second chance for them to get that all im¬ portant high school diploma. They had already learned the hard fact of life that today’s job markets are tough and competitive. Even mini¬ mum wage jobs required their finish¬ ing high school. So at the end of May, when head teachers Elmer Molchan and James Taylor handed out the prized sheepskins at the Career Cen¬ ter ceremonies, there were many grateful and glad graduates in the au¬ dience, together with their families and mentors. At top, Edwardo Garza, gradu¬ ate speaks to James Taylor, head teac her, at the conclusion of ceremo¬ nies.

Sports - Hornets regain crown T he Killer Bees decided it was time to bring it back again to the Hornet hive. The varsity football team had regained the Northwest Conference crown that they had lost just two years ago to Wirt, by stinging the Troopers 18- 16. Throughout the season the Hor¬ nets showed a lot of heart, even though they had bowed to the La Porte Slicers in the end and lost their opportunity to compete in the play-offs. In one particular stand-out game against Portage, the fans saw defensive back Steve Hicks, se¬ nior, catch an opponent intercep¬ tion and run the ball all the way for a SW TD and an 18-16 win. The two big muscles behind the sting, no doubt, were seniors Mose Carter, fullback, and Leon Hines, linebacker. “Leon Hines Hines and Mose Carter are the best defensive players in the state in my opinion,” said Port- gage Coach Wes Klein. Other team assets that deserved credit were seniors Hicks, Keith Armstrong, Porfirio Domin¬ guez, Marvin Morris, Chucky Barnes, Michael Manuel, Dave Harris, and Wayne Hen¬ derson. Said Coach Dave Templin, “Key returning players next year will be Dale Marshal, Tom Hess, Dave Fowler, Mike McGee, and Attwood Dun¬ can.” □ written by Mike McGee 1984-1985 VARSITY FOOTBALL Front Row: P.

Varsity Football — 4 i Frosh pay price A lack of discipline plagued the not-so-mighty freshman football team throughout their season. “At least we didn’t lose ’em all,” groaned an unhappy Marcell Webb. “We all sorta joked around dur¬ ing practice. Then when game time came, we didn’t take it seri¬ ously,” said Captain Francell Jeter. “So I guess we paid for it in the end.” “One important game we did win though was against the An- drean 59’ers. We really stuck it to ’em that game,” said William Thames. Being moved-up to the junior varsity team helped quarterback Orlando Jones gain a different perspective of gridiron play. Said Jones, “It was a big challenge for me. The older guys really taught me a lot.” Guess Keith Bell summed it up pretty straight when he said, “All we needed was to get our act together.” □ by Keith Mott 1984-1985 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL - Front Row: C.

Junior Attwood Dun¬ can and sopho¬ more Andre Myles had led the offense’s starting line. Between them, the two had chalked-up a total of 13 TD’s: Duncan scoring 7 and Myles, 6. In one notable game against West Side, Duncan also ran an outstanding 60-yard TD, that end¬ ed with the Hornets stinging the Cougars 30-10. In the Hammond Morton game, the caliber of the offensive line was clear to everyone when Junior Mike McGee caught a 60-yarder from David Dominguez, sopho¬ more, for a TD and a final score of 34-0. Duncan remarked, “The Wishbone is truly a great offense and I’m look¬ ing forward to being on it next year.” Standouts on the reserve’s defen¬ sive line were Dave Fowler, Leon Brumfield, and Charles Vorice, sophomores, who had allowed only 3 TD’s against them during the entire season. “We had a great season and were a great team.

ADJUSTMENTS Cheerleaders voice highs and lows T he spotlight left by the de¬ parture of former cheerlead¬ er sponsor Hortense House from LW for a higher position at the Staff Development Center was a tough act to follow — maybe be¬ cause Mrs. House was so good at whatever she did. The ’84-5 cheerleaders found they had to get use to two new sponsors this go-around, Mary Bradford, business teacher, and Sharon Duncan, security per¬ A high point in the year was when Football O’Rama kicked-off in August of ’84. The new cheering team had a lot of high hopes then and great expectations about trav¬ eling around with the varsity foot¬ ball team. “One of the most exciting games that comes to mind was the Homecoming Games we played against East Chicago Roosevelt,” said Latoria Lynch cheerleaders captain. “We lost that one by only son. They, also, had adjustments to make among themselves. There was a lot of piping hot and run¬ ning cold, but the girls were bound and determined to learn the art of compromise, of developing more sisterly attitudes toward one an¬ other, even though feelings did get hurt at times. one point.” “Then during basketball season, I think the best game was the one against Roosevelt. We lost that one, too, by four,” she added. Well, maybe in the end, the moral of this tale is you have to lose some before you can become winsome. □ written by Latoria Lynch 1984-1985 VARSITY ney.

Then some of their returning team members, like Randolf Reeves, junior, had to quit. To make things even worse, their key wrestler, Eric Lowe, se¬ nior, had been injured earlier in the season. “We were really count¬ ing on Eric,” groaned Wrestling Coach Henry Pimentel. Not all was lost, however: Eliezer Cruz, junior, went on to take first in his weight division in the Conference.

Roosevelt proved to be the main sticking burr under the Hornet saddle. Each time LW played them, the Panthers became super¬ charged with adrenaline. Three of the seven Hornet losses were to “Veit”: losing to them by four points during the regular season, by one in the Holi¬ day Tourney, and by two in the Sectionals. Hornet high point men during regular seasonal play were David Scott and Frank Leavy, ju¬ niors, and Carlos Mayes and Jerome Harmon, sophomores. A young sensation, Harmon, standing at 6-foot-4, was the first rookie Coach Earl Smith has started in every varsity game. Smith said “Jerome gets better each game. When he fills out physically, he’ll really be tough to stop. We see some very good things in him now and even better things in the future.” He added happily, “Every¬ one will be back again next year to try it one more time.

She shot 58 percent from the field and 72 percent from the line. Carter was, also, picked PT Player of the Week and was cho¬ sen a member of the 1985 Girls All-Star Team. She played in the Indiana-Kentucky Game, the sec¬ ond girl in state history to make it, and holds the school’s scoring re¬ cord with over 2,000 points.

We were down by two, with two seconds left to play in the last game. I had set-up the ball so Lalita (Smith) could spike it over the net. Well, she did and we won, 17-15.” “Also, in seasonal play, we won nine games straight and were Con- ference Co-Champs,” added McKissack. “Mac is hard on us and we don’t always agree,” said Carter, on the side, but in the long run, it seems to pay off, and I love him for that.” Five other spikers whose out¬ standing contributions helped to make for a winning year were La- Tanya Archie and Lalita Smith, both juniors, and Terri- lyn Johnson, a freshman, who were also selected for All-Confer¬ ence First Team, and Shunte Gleason and Stephanie Page, juniors, who were chosen for All- Conference Second Team. “We had a young squad,” quipped Coach Mac. “Next year we have the nucleus for another exceptional team with a good shot at down state,” he beamed. □ written by Angela McFall 1984-1985 SECTIONAL CHAMPS — Front Row: L.

Wright had not only charged the team with his talented pitching and catching, but he had, also, struck out 12 Mann batters, in a game the Hornets lost, came back one week later and shut down 13 Lake Station batters in sectional competition. “The team had ball players who excelled both on the field and off,” said Coach John Russell. Grady Belyeu, Torrence Fra¬ zier, and David Lee, seniors, all ranked in the top 25 per cent of their class. Homerun powerhouses were Michael Terek, Jack Sepul¬ veda, and Torrence Frazier, se niors. Darryl Fields, junior, and Anthony Palm, sophomore supported the team with consis¬ tent hitting. Senior graduation left the squad in a hole, with only three experi¬ enced ball players: Fields, Palm, and Larry Monacy, junior. Be¬ cause of the player losses, Russell has made plans to recruit under- classment and to start anew next year. Both Russell and Coach Mike Foley think that without orga¬ nized athletic teams for the ele¬ mentary school level on up, Gary schools, like LW, will find it in¬ creasingly difficult to contend against better prepped players. “Dedication will still prevail,” quipped Russell. “Good sports¬ manship will still be exhibited by LW players.

Early in the spring at Ham¬ mond, the Hornet’s 400-meter re¬ lay team, comprised of Stevie Hicks, David Harris, and Har¬ old Tatek seniors; and Corey Williamson, sophomore, owned the best time in the state, 42:3, and had won both the Calumet and Andrean Relays. Runners Hicks, Harris, Mike Lacey, and Michael Davis, se¬ niors, had qualified for the Re¬ gional as well. Then came the Roosevelt Invi¬ tational and the turning point in the season. It was all downhill af¬ ter that. Perhaps the most consistant of the Hornet runners, Hicks was sprinter of the year and MVP, fin¬ ishing fifth in the 100-meters of the Regionals. Harris was hailed as the come¬ back runner of the year. He was early considered the team’s best sprinter, who for some reason had slacked off in his performance, then later on had come back to qualify for the Regionals. The title of best field event for the year went to Lacy, whose best jump was a distance of 22-10. Lacy, also, made it to the Region¬ als, but fell short of State. □ written by Karen Jolly A STREAMLINED CURTIS Tinner, sophomore, skims the hurdles at the Roosevelt Invitational. 1984-1985 BOYS TRACK - Front Row: , D.

Both basketball and volleyball teams, had, also, clinched sectional titles for the over, 1,000 yards in active play for the Hornets during the past two seasons, he was selected the win¬ ner of the LW Sportsmanship Award at the 1985 Awards Ban¬ quet. Yet more than winning numer¬ ous awards and being named to the All-Star Team, Carter was rare — a strong leader of consider¬ able ability and worth who had the power and talent to inspire others around him and his team¬ mates in particular. Mose most certainly has left his mark upon LW and it was a fine on e. This fall, no doubt, he will go on to another school and to other challenges. And there will be big¬ ger and better prizes and honors coming his way.

He attributed his own success mainly to his ath¬ letes, maintaining that coaching is only part of the picture of success — the other half is the caliber and talent of a coaches’ players. He ad¬ mitted, however, that as a leader, a coach must know how to influ¬ ence his players and how to use them. “This can be a tough job,” McKissack admitted.

Elmer Molchan, head guidance counselor, arose from his place at the head table and called the “final fac¬ ulty meeting” to order, summoning Maxine Thomas, basic skills coor¬ dinator, to present James Welling¬ ton Taylor, former guidance coun¬ selor and one of those being recognized, with a framed photo¬ graph of the lake shore. Taylor appreciatively described himself as one who had paid his dues, who intended to live the rest of his life to the hilt. Elizabeth Wilkerson, head li¬ brarian, came to the podium next, and admittedly told the audience that Thomas was a tough act to fol¬ low. Nevertheless, she proceeded to recite a piece of poetic verse, dedicat¬ ed to Betty Yorko, former English teacher now retired. Margaret Swisher, school nurse on permanent leave, too, ap¬ peared lively and wired with her bit of Irish wit. Retiree Irving Elser, former art mentor, was to confess somewhat lat¬ er. “I could stand-up here and tell everyone how good it all was, but that would be a lie,” he said. None¬ theless, this coming fall, he would enjoy the freedom of driving to LW and then leisurely leaving. Returning to the lectern, Molchan gripped the microphone and broad¬ casted, “Now here this intro¬ ducing Tony Macchia, whom he described as a former Tolleston boy who had really worked hard to keep the building ship shape. Then taking his turn in line, Mac¬ chia uttered, “For once I’m speech¬ less. Now, like the old sailor says, ‘I’m goin’ down that gang plank for the very last time.’ ” Now it was Principal Christ Christoffs turn, obviously pleased by the congeniality of the large group, he smiled, “Maybe we here are beginning to recognize we’re all working for the same things and for the same goals.” With feeling and regret, Christoff then introduced Eileen Vance, head secretary who had faithfully served for twenty-five years. (See page 77) Handing her a commemo¬ rative plaque, Christoff said nostali- gically, “We’ll miss you truly.” As the ceremonies came to an end, cameras flashed and people passed through the cafeteria’s double doors and were gone. Only one good-bye had been missed, that of Mrs. Lil¬ lian Roberts, history teacher now retired. □ by Jass. Pictured above from the top are Christ Christoff, principal; Alfred E.

It was an experiment and it was successful. This year’s 1984-1985 PTA, together with its officers — Mrs. Eleanora Fair, president; Mrs. Anna Lund, vice-president; Mrs. Pauline Gerbic, secretary; and Mr. Herd, treasurer — repeated last year’s performance at “Parents Filinfi into I’ollA m on “Return to School Night,” Return to School Night.” parents are greeu By guidance counselors Elmer PTA f„ P tu OP Molchan and JaHChidsey, who hand them report . 1 , . iurtner, cards. ■ thought it fitting to show teachers their apprecia¬ tion and joined forces with Principal Christ Chris¬ toff to refurbish the teach¬ ers’ lounge. Thus, this year’s “Talent Show” was born. It was PTA’s way of saying thank you. Theodore Wilusz Above, a parent chats with Scott Saunders, fresh¬ men math teacher.

Echoing the theme of to¬ getherness, Natalie Merriweather, junior class president, said, “Our spirit and pride today at LW is greater than before.” Yvette Stephens, soph¬ omore class president, add¬ ed, “Only in unity can our voices be heard.” But it was Maxine Ci- minillo, departing Student Council sponsor, who brought the audience to its feet, admitting she couldn’t have done it alone. “Individ¬ ual achievement involves the help of many persons,” she said. At the ceremony’s conclu¬ sion, the audience enthusias¬ tically applauded Mrs. Ci- minillo, the Council, and perhaps themselves as well. ■ Written by Angela Mc- Fall STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT Rod Frazier, senior, swears in class reps.

Why do I have to buy it if I’m not in it? Gripe, groan, gritch, moan. Work duck, pressure, shucks. What do they expect? Instant pages like drive-up Big Macs? Despite the considerable draw¬ backs and much more, once again the yearbook staff positions filled up with would be, aspiring young jour¬ nalists, a special breed apart. Maybe it was the intangibles that had lured them — the mobility, the independence, the creativeness, the excitement, the power and satisfac¬ tion of personal imprint? I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure, that life in general, and student life in particular, would be a whole lot less¬ er and meaner without their kind. Just to survive, they had to be¬ come super salespresons, hawking yearbooks, ads, movie tickets, “Blue Jean Scene” and sock hops, pictures, and buttons. They tooted list after list. They hit the journalism textbooks harder than ever before and picked- up a multitude of critical skills for future reference. They learned how to research and chronicle people and events, how to report and revise a story, how to indent and write cap¬ tion copy, how to use picas and rules and make copy fit, how to plan, de¬ sign, and layout pages, how to han¬ dle a 35mm lense and photo compo¬ sition, and when to call Root for help. They went on a couple of field trips, too, a seminar at Purdue Clement and a Josten’s workshop in Harvey, Illinois. They learned the importance of organization and deadlines and had some good times in the meantime, like donut days, Christmas pizza, and awards. They learned the pride of successful enterprise. Suprisingly, some even went on afterwards to colleges and such, like Rosie DeLuna, who’s majored in business jornalism, like Stanley Brooks and Ed Sistrunk, who took up photo journalism, and like Steve Webb, who’s editor-in-chief at Hobart now, and others. It’s hard to put your finger on it, but maybe what made the bottom line worthwhile was that something of lasting value had been imparted, passed-on, and held pective by Jass. 116 — Class FRESHMAN CLASS - Front Row: Jo- anne Gilbert, Yalonda Heade, Stacy Rogers, Lenita Elkins, Second Row: Catrina Byers, Tiffany Harrington, Sylvia Osorio, Efura Gar¬ ner, Seretha Williams.

In May of 1985, DECA members Armecia Gray, junior; Lanita Coles, se¬ nior; and Diana Cox, se¬ nior, together with their sponsor Sam Benjamin, Marketing instructor, made tracks to Indianapolis to at¬ tend a State Career Develop¬ ment Conference at the Hy¬ att Regency, no less. Benjamin said, all kidding aside, “Rumor has it they learned how to use the ser¬ vice elevator quite well.

Water Tower, with its high rising floors of fantastic shopping and stores, was an ideal place to go and each year the members of Girls Club trek to Chicago to see its sights. Michigan Avenue, with its busy comings and goings, was brightly lighted for the yultide season in fairyland. “The Christmas experi¬ ence is something everyone enjoys,” said Dorothy Kou- velas, history teacher and Girls Club sponsor. She advised “comfortable shoes, a watch, and lots of money.” “Strange how everyone re¬ members to get on the bus when they think of the long walk home,” laughed Ms. Kouvelas.

This time Lee Wheeler herself, speech teacher and National Forensic sponsor, was award¬ ed a special plaque for her dedication to LW and for her outstanding achievement as a speech teacher and coach. Nelson Collazo, a junior at LW and the Career Cen¬ ter, won a first place trophy in the Boys’ Division of the Gary Rotary Speech Contest, held at West Side, in March of ’85. Erina Hornak, sopho¬ more, placed second in the Girls’ Division. Speech Team member Stephanie Ledbetter, ju¬ nior, placed in the finals of four different speech meets for her original oratory. Another team member, Annette McBride, sopho¬ more, placed in the finals of three speech meets for her oratorial interpretations. Mrs. Wheeler applauded all of her speech students for their outstanding efforts each year. If she had one re¬ gret, it was that more LW students weren’t involved in the Speech Team. 124 — Band Philosopher PHILOSOPHER — Front Row: John Dawkins.
