Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1986 volume:

Oliver P. Morton Senior High School 6915 Grand Avenue Hammond, Indiana Vol. 33 Title Page 1 The Hats Govs Wear We adjust to the occasion Throughout our years at Morton, we witness and go through many changes, meet new people, and come across new ideas. Things always seem to change. Im¬ provements to beautify the school, such as the walls being painted last year, and the bulletin boards in the main hallways being decorated this year illustrate this. School policy always changes also. This year the “tank” is no longer around. Out of school suspension took its place as a disciplinary means. Also lockers were assigned this year, and many stu¬ dents found that to be a problem. However, school spirit seemed increased this year. Participation in the Booster Club and in a new program — School Improve¬ ment Program — were largely responsible for it. We have changed in other ways. The people who attend Morton have changed. We have become more CAUGHT OFFGUARD — Freshman Robin Hurley Illustrates her Indi¬ viduality as many students do through her choices of “shades. ” diversified. We are no longer the same community we were fifteen years ago. Each of us is no longer the same person we started the school year as. Each of us has grown, matured, and learned over this school year. We are all individuals. We each do different things — wear a different hat at a different time. Sometimes we wear many hats. Top Hat chose “Many Hats — Many Faces” as a theme this year to show the individualism that is in each one of us. Yet, by attending this school, we are all united. Top Hat picked a penguin to portray Mr. Governor. One can find him throughout the book wearing different hats on each division page. We may all be individuals, but we are all Morton Governors too. PPO PILE-UP — In an effort to meet their Individual needs some students find It necessary to descend upon their counselor’s office to get programs changed.

Yet, every year six girls get nominated, and for them the fanta¬ sy becomes possibility. For one, it is a dream come true. It is also rare when someone who is ranked first academically in the class is se¬ lected homecoming queen. But, this year that is what happened. For the rest of the student body, the se¬ lection of the homecoming queen is some¬ times more exciting than the game Itself. On Friday, October 4th, Michelle Troksa was crowned homecoming queen during the halftime show. The race had been a tight one. Amidst all the cheering and hugging, one could still feel the sense of disappoint¬ ment the other girls must have felt. Still, being in the homecoming court should be a moment to treasure for a lifetime. THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED — Michelle Troksa receives the crown and flowers from last years’ queen, Pam Wojclk. Homecoming 13 How Hessville Has Changed OUR FIRST SCHOOLHOUSE — The Little Red Schoolhouse located in Hess¬ ville Pa rk was Hammond ' s first public school. THE ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION — Purdue Calumet is ideal for Morton Graduates who wish to further their education while still living at home. It was on December 11,1816 that Indiana became the 19th state of the United States and it wasn’t until Feb¬ ruary 15, 1837 that Lake County was formed. Until this time. Lake County had been part of LaPorte County. In 1850 the census showed a total of 97 people living in North Township which includes present day Whiting, East Chicago, Gary, and Hammond. Hammond’s earliest settlers were Ernest Hohman, a tailor from East Prussia, and his wife, Caroline Sibley, whom Hohman met in London on his way to America. The Hohmans bought 39 acres of land in 1851 on which they built the Hohman Inn located on the north bank of the Grand Calumet River. Many others including August Ahlendorf, Jacob Drecker, Jacob Rimbach, and William Sohl, who built the first grocery store next to the Hohman Inn, came to settle in this area which later became known as State¬ line. In 1859 five miles east of Stateline was a settlement known as Gibson. Gibson was named after David Gib¬ son, who had operated an inn at the northern Hessville site. Gibson sold out to Joseph Hess, a French baker, and moved to the Munster area. Hess later moved about one mile south onto Kennedy Avenue, opened a general store, and Hessville grew in the years that followed. At the end of the Civil War the largest settlements of the area were Stateline and Hessville, with 30 resi¬ dents each, while Gibson had only 10 residents. The man given credit for uniting the three areas was George Hammond from Massachusettes who dropped out of school at the age of 10. In 1868, the largest slaughterhouse in the world owned by Hammond along with Marcus Towle, Caleb Ives, and George Plummer was opened; it employed over 1,000 workers and slaughtered overe 3,000 cattle in a year. In 1869 the first refrigerator car designed by William Davis carried meat from the Hammond Plant, as the slaughterhouse became known, to Boston successfully. The Hammond Plant boomed beyond comprehension. In just two years, 1873-75, business doubled from $1 million to $2 million. By 1886, the plant had a capacity of 1,500 cattle a day. It was also in this year that Hammond died at the age of 48 from being over¬ worked. Meanwhile, also in 1869, Joseph Hess set up the first public school house in the area, located on the corner of 169th and Kennedy. In 1897, 50 people lived in Hess¬ ville, and it boasted of having a grocery store and a blacksmith shop. Hessville Park, containing 14.2 acres, was acquired in 1924 and in 1971 under the leadership of V.E. Iliff, the citizens of Hessville moved the schoolhouse from its original site to where it is now located in Hessville Park where it has become known as “The Little Red Schoolhouse.” It has been completely renovated and some of the original desks and the bell are still there. Hammond’s Bicentennial celebration centered around it on July 2 and 3rd. 1976. In 1920 Hessville had a population of 1,450. In 1923 Hessville was annexed to Hammond. In 1952, Hammond’s 3rd high school Oliver P. Morton was completed on Marshall Street as an addition to the original elementary school. In 1964, the new Morton High School, a $7 million structure, was started at 169th and Grand Ave. The school was opened in 1967. In 1965 the new Howard Branch library was dedi¬ cated at Grand Avenue and 171st Street. It was named after James A. Howard, librarian from 1929-1954. This library and the Morton parking lot are the site of the International Cultural Festival which is held in early September annually. The two day festival attracts an estimated 25,000 people (in recent years). Ethnic food, arts and crafts booths, entertainment, and cultural at¬ mosphere are generally featured. In 1981, an area formerly owned by the railroad be¬ came a state nature preserve. Gibson Woods is a 131 acre tract of woods located between Parrish and Cline Avenues. It contains rare orchids and wildlife consid¬ ered endangered by the Federal government. As Hessville’s population grew so did its cemetaries. Hessville has three cemetaries. One is St. Mary’s Greek cemetaries. Hessville has three cemetaries. One is St. Mary’s Greek Catholic Cemetary located at the north¬ west corner of Kennedy and 169th Street. Early Hess¬ ville residents are interred one block east, along 169th Street in the old Hessville Cemetary. Next to it is the Lake County Potter Field cemetery. For the last ten years, the population continues to change and fluctuate. While some people have been moving out of the area primarily for economic reasons, other people have been moving in, presumably for the same reasons. People who used to rely on the steel industry in this area have been looking into other ca¬ reer options. Still, Hessville remains a viable, close- knit community.

Community 15 This Night Prom ’85 The night of a lifetime finall y arrived for most Morton High School Junior and Senior students. On April 26, 1985 Morton Senior High School held its annual Junior-Senior Prom at Wicker Park Social Center. The Prom theme, “This Night Will Last Forever,” chosen by the Junior Class and in good taste for this night will be remembered forever by the students and friends who attended. The night began at 7:00 p.m. with everyone dancing to the music of “Abacus.” After enjoying the dancing, the couples were seated for dinner after which they continued dancing to the Sound Entertainment by Chuck. “This Night will last forever” was presented by the Junior Class. Much of the work was done by Junior Class Advi¬ sors Mrs. Mann and Mr. Mayerick and Junior Class Officers President Basilio Lopez Jr., Vice President Sophia Stavropoulos and Secretary Denise Rebey.

After twelve years of hard work, it was the Class of 1985’s turn. As Valedictorian, Kim Ste¬ vens and Salutatorian, Kelly Stevens gave their final messages to their classmates, the seniors reminisced about their four short years at Mor¬ ton. The cheers and tears began as the class flipped their tassels now becoming truly “gradu¬ ates.” Many fond memories of Morton will remain with the class, as well as many memories of them will remain here at Morton.

Inaugural ’85 “Fools” Theatrical Hats ’85 — Top Hat Theatre presented its 1985 fall production, “Fools” by Neil Simon, on November 21, 22, and 23. The stage setting was different from most years since the seat¬ ing was arranged partially in the round on the stage itself. Although most people would consider this approach more difficult for the performers, according to Mr. Elgas, the director, “It’s more fun this way. The actors seem to like it even though it’s nerve-racking to know this at first.” The setting takes place in a small village in the Ukraine, Kulyenchikov, about 1890. Leon Tolchinsky (Basilio Lopez, Jr.) comes to Kulyenchikov in answer to an advertisement Dr. Zubritsky (Steve Dills) placed to hire a teacher to edu¬ cate his daughter Sophia Zubritsky (Gina Atkinson). When Leon discovers that a curse was placed on the village which made all the residents fools, he decides this is just too much for anyone to handle but when he meets Sophia I knows it is love at first sight and he must stay to try to 1 the curse. Later, Leon is informed by Count Gregor (J Ecsi) that he has only 24 hours to teach Sophia, otherwi he will become a fool too if he remains even one secoi past the allotted time. As the end of his 24 hours drat near, Leon tries desperately to teach Sophia but fails. Let awaits his fate as the church bell rings nine but when tl curse has no effect on him, he realizes that you can only I cursed if you permit yourself to be cursed. Thinking of plan, Leon talks Count Gregor into adopting him so that 1 can marry Sophia and lift the curse. In the end, Leon ai Sophia are married and the village of Kulyenchikov liv happily ever after. 28 Play Clockwise from top — “I DO” — Senior Baslllo Lopez, Jr. (Leon) makes his decision to marry Junior Gina Atkinson (Sophia).

' : tlany Faces Of National News 1985 National news was relatively calm in 1985. Many people bought binoculars and telescopes this year. The reason? The return of Halley’s comet. Since the comet returns only once in every 75 years, most people may only get one chance in a life¬ time to see it. Tragedy struck the space pro¬ gram on January 18. The space shut¬ tle Challenger exploded 74 seconds after take-off, killing all seven crew members. A unique opportunity had been offered nation teachers. Asked to apply for a trip to space, over 1100 teachers responded. Christa McCauliff from Concord High School was selected. After months of preparation, her flight ended in disaster. After AIDS claimed the life of Ac¬ tor Rock Hudson, more people be¬ came sensitive to the plight of this disease’s victims. As its current spread rate one hospital bed in three will contain an AIDS victim in the next decade. An entire city block was de¬ stroyed in Philadelphia when police dropped a bomb on a building in an attempt to evict members of the radical group called MOVE. Eleven people, including children died. On a lighter note, Pete Rose, Cin- cinatti Reds player-manager, broke Ty Cobb’s career hit record with hit number 4,192. The best news was the Chicago Bears’ first Super Bowl victory. It capped off a very exciting football season.

One American hostage was killed. Then Four Palestinian terrorists hijacked an Italian cruise liner, the Achille Lauro, while it was on a Mediterranean cruise. One Ameri¬ can was killed. After the ship was released the Egyptian government agreed to return the hijackers to the PLO. However, the hijackers were intercepted by American jets as they were flown out of Egypt and returned to Italy to stand trial. In South Africa riots were almost a daily occurence as blacks protest¬ ed Apartheid. Widespread violence continued to breakout throughout the country. A non-manmade disaster oc¬ curred in Mexico City in September. A series of devastating earthquakes rumbled through the city and the death toll was in the thousands. The first quake measured 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second one mea sured 7.5. The best news story of the yeai concerned the raising of millions o dollars for the poor through music concerts. It all started with Band Aid group of musicians united to raise money for Ethiopia. Their song “Dc They Know It’s Christmas Time,’ was released in December ’84. In early ’85, USA for Africa re leased “We are the World.” Live Aid, two concerts going on simulta neously on two seperate continents followed, alleviating much human misery. 32 News A BEIRUT BOMBING — A distraught Moslem man hugs his son moments after they survived a car bomb explosion outside a restaurant In late August.

Morton offers such classes as woods, metals, power mechanics, and drafting. These classes teach students how to be¬ come better consumers and to learn a trade for their future. In Wood shop, taught by Mr. Mayerick and Mr. Kaczymarczyk, students learn the correct way to use tools and the proper way to construct. Mr. Mayerick also teaches drafting where his stu¬ dents design and make drafts of houses and buildings. In Metal shop, taught by Mr. Penzato, stu¬ dents learn how to construct with metal, make molds, and weld. Power Mechanics is taught by Mr. Snow. His students learn how to put motors together, make fur- nishings.and work with electrical equipment. Industrial Arts can become a successful future for students with skills in any of these areas. So any one who has some skill should check with the teachers and find out more about these classes. In wood shop learned the correct way to use tools. Ju¬ nior Steve Young.

One learns how to budget his money and how to make sure he gets what he is entitled to when he rents an apartment or house. He also learns what he really needs and what he can do without. Home Economics classes are a big help to those students who take the courses. These classes are not required, and the classes are made up of both male and female students. “From taking foods we learned the basics for when we’re on our own.” Angie Sawacinski Division Page 51 Newspaper The newspaper staff puts out a paper tri¬ weekly — The Mortonite. Much time and business are Involved during the three week period It takes to produce the paper. The first week Involves a staff meeting. Story, photo, and art assignments are dis¬ tributed among them. Reporters gather news and write stories. Page editors pre¬ pare preliminary layouts. Ads sold, to help with expenses, are made up. During the second week, articles are typed, edited, revised, and re-typed. Head¬ lines are made up. Photos are developed and printed. All stories, art and headlines are sent to the printer for typesetting and waxing. The printer sends everything back waxed and on proof sheets. The third week involves cutting up the waxed printed stories and headlines. Page and copy editors look over everything, and corrections are made at that time on the proof sheets. Photos are cropped and per- centaged. Two days before the paper comes out, everything goes back to the printer for more work to be done. The day before the paper comes out, stu¬ dents go to the printer to catch any last minute Items that may not have been cor¬ rected or need to be changed since the Items were first written. The newspapers are picked up at 7:15 a.m. the next day, counted out before school, and distributed during second hour. The high cost of printing, and the addition of color has caused the paper to cost ten cents per paper this year. News of Today MORTONITE STAFF — First Row: Mike Pat- Second Row: Jim Pierce.

Each year students with certain qualifica¬ tions are chosen to be on the yearbook staff. Taking a semester of Journalism and having the advisor’s approval are two of the main qualifications. During the summer the Managing Editor, Sue Ann Laramie and Advisor; Mrs. Jan Gil- lard met and thought of this year’s theme “Many Hats, Many Faces An Individual Look at Morton. ’’ The section editors must carry out the theme in their sections. Keep¬ ing consistency through out the book is an important factor the editors need to keep in mind. Long, hard hours are spent putting together a yearbook. Some section editors come in during their lunch hour, or study hall, after school, or even on their days off from school to work on their sections. The photographers are kept busy “shooting” pictures at games, in classrooms, at various practices and through special assignments given by editors. The staff seems to be¬ come like a family. Many fun and difficult times are shared among them. They all rely on each other to meet deadlines. For if one misses a deadline, it means the rest of the staff has to work harder to make up for that loss in producing the book. The staff realizes how important a year¬ book is to t he student body. Knowing this, much pressure is put on them to give it their all. Some staff members seem to give more than their “all, ” which makes the yearbook special and a big achievement on their part.

These Ambassadors perform nearly two to three times a week during Christmas and about three times a month after that. One of the three performances which open to the public was the spring concert which took place In May. The donations which are given to them are spent for the entry fee at Great America. It Is well worth It because last year they received a first place against seven other schools. Julie Zwljac, the oldest female member quoted, “We leave a good name for Morton around the community. I like to perform In front of people thinking that we are giving a good Image of Morton.” The Concert Choir and Girls’ Choir were busy this year also. They had concerts for which they practiced.

Many Challenges GREA T DEVOTION — Band members coming events, practice different pieces of music for up- Band There were many changes made by the new director, Mr. Matusiak. He was much stricter with the students. For many of them, it was a challenge to have their music sounding the way he preferred it to sound. There were many events for which the band had to perform. The year began with the Home¬ coming Parade and the Highland Christmas Pa¬ rade. Later into the year they marched in the Little League Parade. The major goal of the year was to “update” all the instruments. There were fund raisers such as fruit sales, cheese-sausage sales, having an auc¬ tion and selling Christmas Ornaments. With this money raised, new percussion instruments were ordered. They performed in the annual Christmas Con¬ cert. They hosted for the first time the City Solo Contest and for the second time the annual Ham¬ mond Music Festival. Building For A Dramatic Performance Theatre 58 Theatre Guild, Stage Crew Guild The Theatre Guild includes stu¬ dents who enjoy acting and those who plan to pursue acting as a career. The group was very busy prac¬ ticing and performing four plays which include, “Fools”, “The Visitor From Forest Hills”, “The Valiant” and “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”. Mr. Stanley Elgas remarked, “We present a play because it is a learning ex¬ perience for the participants. Sometimes a play can be consid¬ ered a success for the actors but not for the viewers.” Stage Crew The Stage Crew is a group of students whose main responsibil¬ ity is the backstage. These stu¬ dents highlight performances in such ways as running stage lights, creating various sounds and building different props. They are also in charge of the curtains be¬ fore and after each act. By dis¬ playing their electronic know¬ how they create special effects. THEA TRE GUILD — First Row: Mary San¬ tana. Holly Ignas.

Displaying School Pride Student Association Student Association sponsors a few important school activi¬ ties each year — Freshman Orientation, Homecoming, and Inau¬ gural Dance. They begin their planning months ahead. Homecoming is spe¬ cial because it gives everyone a chance to get involved with being a part of the school. This year ' s Inaugural theme was “Over The Rainbow. ” Several students were involved with decorating the cafeteria for the dance many weeks in advance. ‘Emerald City’ and Characters from “The Wizzard of Oz” were drawn on posters which were stapled to the cafeteria walls. An imitation yellow brick road surrounded by gold balloons tied with ribbon was layed near the entrance. A huge rainbow appeared near the brick road. Once near the dance floor, lead by the brick road, there was a bright and colorful scenery. The tables were covered with silver and green foil. On the ceiling hung silver and green streamers, balloons and silver stars. The dance was a success and all those who spent hours helping and decorating should feel very proud and pleased with them¬ selves. STUDENT ASSOCIATION — First Row: Jeff Orange (Vice-Presi¬ dent).

(Not Pictured Debbie Wolfe, Vice-President; Sandra Haywood; Pom-Pon Squad Cheerleaders) The Booster Club worked hard to keep up with the echo activities. Club membership and participation increased a gre. deal. Decorations were hung in the hallways, for Homecomh Week and Sectionals. Many posters were put up. Some wishe various teams and individuals “good luck’’, while others tried encourage students to make Morton Senior High a better at prouder school to be a part of. The cork boards by the large auditorium could be found dec rated f or various causes, such as Homecoming, holidays ai sports. “Halloween Day” was another activity the Booster Club spo. sored. Students dressed up and awards were given for “Be Over-all. ” For Valentine’s Day, the club sold carnations. These cam tions were to be sent to students and teachers anonymous during second period. It was not only a fund raiser, but for thot who bought them, it showed others that they cared. Experiencing Neu s Ideas Home Ec Club The purpose of the Home Economics Club is to expand skills In life beyond the classrooms and to do charitable deeds for others. The goals of the club depend on the unique interests of the members, such as cake decorating, cooking ethnic dishes and having speakers to discuss topics which may be useful in life. Members gathered to create Thanksgiving baskets for the needy families of Hessville. Not only were there donated fruits and canned foods but also dishes made by the members. Fundraisers included bake sales and concession stands at evening play performance. Foreign Language Club The Foreign Language Club’s purpose is to promote and en¬ courages curiosity and learning regarding foreign cultures. The club has been exceptionally active compared to past years. The group meets once a month and the officers once every two weeks. One of their activities consisted of a Christmas get together. Songs, food and Christmas legends from France, Germany, Mexi¬ co and Spain were shared among the members. Their long range goal is to serve an international dinner for the whole community.

Beginning Their Future ICE DECA ICE DECA (Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education — Distributive Education Clubs of America) is a program which was brought to Morton a few years ago by Mr. Speelmon. In this program, students are taught consumer respon¬ sibilities, legal responsibilities and human relations. ICE may benefit and aid students In going to college and in keeping their part-time jobs. Some students are promoted to full-time positions. Overall they gain work experiences. Speech Debate The purpose of the Speech and Debate program Is to promote the fundamental use of verbal communication through organization, research and application. Members learn to become better consumers of all ver¬ bal and non verba! messages given publicly or through the mass media. The organization does not spend time having fun¬ draisers. Their funds are directly related to the overall education of our students. Donations are accepted from interested groups such as Lion’s Club, and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Many Faces, Many New Friendships Photo Club The Photo Club Is for those who are not only Interested In photography, but also In developing their own film. This club meets weekly and shares many ideas. Members are taught to mix chemicals which are needed for developing film. They are then taught to create the dry prints. Members were given a chance to really experiment with the camera when they went to Chicago on a field trip. Ski Club The Ski Club, formally known as the Folk Club, had come back into existence. The club sponsors the Talent Show. Due to lack of student response and organizing the new members, the plan fell. The group did take a field trip to the Pines in Valparaiso, In. for an evening of skiing. Science Club The Science Club involves students who take chemistry, physics and other students who are interested in the sciences. The club gives them a chance to find out about the careers in the field of science. SKI CLUB — First Row: Gina Atkin¬ son. Sue Ann Laramie, Mike Bass, Mrs. Jan Glllard (Sponsor).

Weightlifting, Mat Maids 63 Cheerleaders And Pom-Pon Cheerleaders Cheerleaders are to promote school spirit at pep assemblies, football games and basketball games. The Varsity squad kept very busy this year. During the summer they participated in some fund raisers. A few of these were a car wash, a dunking machine at the Little Red School House Festival, stand-outs and presenting a clinic to younger girls who in their later years wish to be a cheerleader. This clinic teaches the younger girls different techniques and cheers which they could practice. The Varsity and JV squads could be found at school during the summer. Be it in the gym or outside or in the hallways, they would be practic¬ ing mounts, cheers and discussing plans for the year. Freshman try-outs were held a few weeks into the school year. The squad chosen was larger than usual. Their efforts to keep up with the Varsity and JV squads was well done. The indifference between the cheerleaders and the pom-pon squad proved their individual¬ ism. This individualism did not disrupt school spirit. The two squads kept their smiles and real¬ ized they were all routing for and representing the same school.

Squad Influence School Spirit HERE WE GO AGAIN — A few pom-pons practice one of their routines In hopes of ‘lookin’ good’ for competition. Pom-Pons A pom-pon squad represents a school In many ways. Not only do they perform at most home football and basketball games, but they also perform In competition, pa¬ rades and pep assemblies. Being a “Hug¬ ger” near Christmas time, also proves that the squad Is kept busy. In June, the squad marched In the Little Red School House parade and performed a dance at the park. Marianne Koslnski was a captain at the time. She then transferred to another school but much credit should be given to her. Many odds were against the squad. More than half of the members were new.There were 3 “first-time” captains. Practices were cut down to 2 days a week and It was difficult to get the gym. Also, many personalities clashed. The girls spent four days at camp learning routines and sharing ideas with other squads. A total of 38 routines were taught and ribbons were given out to the girls who performed those routines. Junior Marcela Guerrero expressed, “Camp was really rough on all of us, but we all found time to have fun!” The year began with many shaky exper¬ iences. For one, football season was diffi¬ cult. There was a lack of communication between the new band director and the cap¬ tains. But the squad performed with what commands were given. Basketball season kept the squad on their toes. The girls made large hoops, which were to cheer the team to a victory, for each home game. The squad marched In the Christmas parade on No¬ vember 30, 1985 and competed In the Drill Team Competition on December 7, 1985. The girls placed second for their dance rou¬ tine to “Holiday.” “CHEE — EESt — Showing there Is a sense of close¬ ness a few poms get together to plan a birthday sur¬ prise for a fellow pom and stop a moment for a picture.

Unfortunately tragedy struck. On September 2, 1985 Eric Lup- towski was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver.

Faculty 106 Senior 114 Underclass 132 Division 105 Old Hats Do Many Things Teachers at Morton High School have one thing in common, they guide students to a better education. After school is a different story altogether.. Mr. Dennis Zelenke and many of our other teachers all enjoy reading and exercising in their spare time. Even though they enjoy reading and exercising, they also like doing many of their other hobbies. The other hobbies and interests of teachers are as follows; Mr. Bobowsky enjoys coin collecting and traveling; Mr. Boyle, golfing; Mrs. Burr, traveling and reading; Mr. DePeugh, fishing and golfing; Mr. Coolidge, auto¬ mobile repair and piano music. Mrs. Culbertson enjoys sewing and knitting; Mrs. Damiano, flying; Mrs. Ferris, oriental cooking; Mrs. Gillard, skiing, camping, and collecting musical instruments; Mr. G. Hall, fishing and hunting; Mr. Hruskovich, traveling and attending I.U. sporting events; Mr. Huber, fishing and golfing; Mr. Hunt, leather crafts and horse shoes; Mr. Luketic, golfing and traveling; Mrs. Lundahl, needle work and swimming. Ms. Luttringer enjoys computers and films; Mr. Kocal, running; Mr. Kucer, reading and fishing; Mr. Maicher, reading and sports; Mrs. Mann, swimming and golfing; Mr. Nelson, target shooting and reading; Mr. Penzato, hunting and fishing; Mrs. Poe, swimming and reading; Mrs. Slaboski, gardening and golfing; Mr. Snow, restoring old cars; Mrs. Stockdale, canning and cooking; Mrs. Sullivan, swimming; Ms. Wade, bridge and tennis; Mr. Wandrowski, photography and travel¬ ing, and finally, Mr. Weiss, caving and hunting. Out of this list, 1 believe that Mrs. Damiano has the most unique and exciting interest of all. She enjoys flying a small airplane. Doing the research for this story, I have found out that Morton teachers enjoy various kinds of hobbies and interests. The most common of them is either playing sports or doing some kind of other exercise. This information comes to show you that our teachers don’t just do one thing, and that they are interesting people.

His career started in 1950 at Mor¬ ton Junior High, where he taught so¬ cial studies. When Morton became a high school in 1953, Georgas began teaching U.S. History. When he wasn’t teaching, you could find him coaching football or baseball, and at one time, basketball. He was head varsity base¬ ball coach for 27 years and assistant varsity football coach for 31 years. In 1983-84 Georgas was honored by being selected teacher of the year. Since he has retired, Georgas is spend¬ ing time at home with his wife, work¬ ing in the yard, playing the piano, and plans on traveling some more. Mr. Nick Luketic will be ending his teaching career at the end of this school year. He has been teaching for 36 years. His teaching career started in Elkhart, Indiana in 1950. For 32 years Mr. Luketic has been teaching business at Morton. Mr. Luketic ob¬ tained his B.S. degree in business and physical education and his M.A. de¬ gree in Secondary Administration at Ball State. He had been a coach for varsity track for 12 years, and was assistant football coach for 22 years and head varsity coach for 5 years. After retiring, Mr. Luketic plans to golf, fish, bowl, and travel. He will also be visiting his children and grandchil¬ dren.

Our Special Times Have Arrived Senior year is one of the most confusing and emo¬ tional times in one’s life. Much decision making and pressure are put on each of us. Freshman year was a time when everything was care¬ free and simple. Our lives were full of time that could be spent with new acquaintances and maybe join a few extra-curricular activities. We were like lost puppies, not knowing left from right it seemed at times. But we adjusted slowly. Moving up as sophomores, more of us got involved in clubs and organizations. Friends were made and at¬ tending the Friday night games and dances seemed more important to some of us. Finally, as upperclassmen, much more was on our minds — our future goals. Time was taken away from being with our friends. Life got to be so hectic. Much of our time was spent at work or aimed at our studies or at activities in which we took part. But we still stuck together as a class. Note — we won the spirit stick, and the girls defeated the seniors in the Annual Powder Puff game. Senior year arrived, and our relationships with each other had changed. We became independent young adults. The fight to take on a job and stay involved with school activities was difficult. But we managed to fulfill our needs and wants. As we spent time with friends, we began to wonder if these were our ‘special times. ’ This year started out disheartened. Losing Eric Lup- towski was a traumatic experience for many of us. Prayers and poems were read during a homeroom ses¬ sion as a special memorial: Bobby Lopez devoted “What To Forget” and Sandi Machuca devoted “The Scent of The Roses.” Eric had broken and had set a school record in Track. He will always be held dear to many of us. Realizing how fragile and short life is, the trauma brought our class closer together. Homecoming candidates were chosen early in Sep¬ tember through senior homeroom balloting. Shortly, homecoming was here. The court spent many hours practicing and preparing for the assembly. Many ob¬ servers, including Japanese Educators and Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott commented on how im¬ pressed they were with the program and the student body. The Pep Ral ly brought about much school spirit. Cheerleader captain — Jessica Prince and Pom-Pon co¬ captain — Angie Anguiano, along with their co-cap¬ tains organized their squads to perform lively routines to raise the school’s spirit. The Senior Choms even performed a comedy routine to “Baby, I’m A Star. They had the whole student body chuckling. As we walked down the halls, posters were on the walls en¬ couraging the football team to a victory. Justine Mikula should be specially recognized, for the posters and oth¬ er decor, in her effort to generate school spirit. Finally, half-time arrived and the candidates walked out nervously with their escorts. Then Basilio Lopez announced, “. . . the 1985 Homecoming Queen is Michelle Troksa!” The band performed “The Rose”, while she was crowned. This was only one of the many events that will be remembered. Experiences such as Prom, Senior Ban¬ quet, and Commencement are a few to be impressed in our hearts and mind. All the time and money spent leads one to suppose it was well worth the undertaking. As we separate and take on life’s simple tasks, we will look back and realize we lived our “Special Times,” here at Morton Senior High School.

Impatient Hats Juniors await final year Most Juniors can hardly wait until next year when they be¬ come Seniors. Right now they are noticing the difference be¬ tween the Froshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors — noticing how they have changed in the past two years and realizing that they only have one more year until graduation. The Junior sponsors are Mr. Damiano, a teacher in the Science Department, and Miss Engle, a teacher in the Special Education Department. The theme for the Junior’s Homecoming float was, A Wave of Rage.” They took first place for the best float and they won the Spirit Stick. The Spirit Stick was given for the class with the most participants during the school spirit week. The Juniors decided to hold the 1986 Prom on Friday April 25.

From fundraisers to the 1987 Prom, they worked very hard to achieve their goals. Some of their fundraiser sales brought enthusiastic results, others were somewhat of a financial letdown. But the sopho¬ more class pulled through and have planned Prom for the 1987 school year to take place on April 24, which is a Friday evening. Individually, the sophomore class is a “diverse group of kids” says Mr. Safstrom, a class sponsor. They have scholars, athletes, and scholar-athletes, which Mr. Safstrom takes a “special enjoy¬ ment in.” Earlier in the school year, they built a Homecoming float mounted on a semi-tractor trailer. Even though the float was taken apart three times and assembled four times due to the rainy days, the sophomores still had a lot of fun. The flower making parties went well and they received excellent parental support and a lot of participation from the students. Mr. Kacz- marczyk, another class sponsor, noted how well they work to¬ gether and put a lot of energy into their schoolwork and extra curricular activities by saying they were “academically intelli¬ gent, hardworking students. Looking onward toward the summer, they plan to have a car wash to increase their funds and maybe hold a pizza party after¬ wards. SOPHOMORE COUNCIL — Bottom row, left to right. Diana Middle row.

They’re the ones who can’t figure out their locker combinations. Like little mice, they scurry about looking for shelter from the seniors. They are the ones who get lost looking for the third floor which doesn’t even exist. Frequently losing their schedules, they are rarely in the right place at the right time. They have been known to ask such questions as, “Where are the initiations?” They are also the ones who carry at least five books to every class. These are the individuals whom we fondly refer to as “froshmen.” The class of ’89 got off to a good start. They were a larger class than recently entering froshmen classes have been for over a decade. They are sponsored by Mrs. Christine Turk, a science teacher, and Mr. Larry Kocal, head counselor. This is the first time a counselor has been a class sponsor. The class of ’89 entered a truck in the Homecoming parade and participated despite their being barred from winning this competition. Froshmen sports fans had a lot to cheer about, howev¬ er. The froshmen football team finished second in con¬ ference with a record of 6-2. The class of ’89 is looking forward to next year when they will have their own set of froshmen to push around. AWARD WINNER — Cheryl Pierce, despite fierce competition, walked away with the first place award for the best froshman Halloween costume. The contest was sponsored by the Booster Club. It is alleged that the costume came from her grandmother’s wardrobe. 146 Froshmen Cassandra Abell Danielle Acheson Robert Acker Tamera Allee Bennie Altizer Kimberly Anderson Wendy Anton Tamera Asher Henry Avila Chris Ayala Jaqueline Bain Marinko Balaban Mike Bams Tamara Barsich Michael Bass Deanna Bednar Rebecca Bell Kimberly Benich Andrew Bennet John Benton Chris Bicek Lori Bigger Joseph Bircher Dawn Blankman Jamie Blankman Chuck Blount Michael Boerner Jennifer Bonema Becky Brown Gregory Brown Michael Brown Keith Bryant Barbara Bukowski Troy Buono Wendy Burris Liz Busick Julie Calabrese Brian Campbell Tonia Carroll Kim Carrothers Vincent Carter Brian Cartwright David Cashen Jackie Cassady Juanita Castillo Eric Cavanaugh Doug Chokey Michael Colbert Stacey Comacho Rich Courneya Dual Crowley Tracy Czerniak John Daily Gary Daniels Robert Dargewich Sherry Darnell Curtis Day Trade Deem Robert Devine Scott Devine Mitzi Dickey Steve Doloszycki Renee Dreiling John Dukes Tonya Dunlap Bob Earl Kelly Edinger Patty Egan Fay Ferrer Kay Ferrer Kenna Figg Jeff Fiscus John Fisher Brittany Flaherty Crystal Francone Dan Franovich Patty Frenzel Jesse Gabrano Mario Garza Froshmen Scott Garvey Chatsabah Gaston Brandon Gifford Joe Golec Brian Grcich Jeannie Griffin Tammy Griffith Amy Grimberg I JE Brian Grimm Eric Gruener Felix Gutierrez Cynthia Hampton Carrie Hargrove Kim Harney Robin Harper Tina Harshaw SHOWING SCHOOL SPIRIT — Froshmen get an earls ' start hav¬ ing a Homecoming Float.

Changes in the school, in our community, in our homes, and throughout our lives are apparent. We picked “Many Hats — Many Faces” as our theme because we felt it portrayed our individualism and our changing lives. I would like to take time out to say “THANKS!” to the staff. We certainly didn’t have an easy job but we made it through the year. I would also like to thank Mrs. Gillard from all of us. Without her, this yearbook would never have been possible. 1 hope that all the changes in your lives are for the better.
