The nearly 8 million dol- lar facility that had been planned, designed and built over a 5 year period had become a reality. That reality hit us on the opening day of school. It was new and impressive but it was with mixed emotions A senator who really didn ' t want to be a senator, Edward McKeever, is being por trayed by Marc Todd (10). Danelle Law- son (11) portrays Miss Logan, a dingy secretary in the 2-act play The Solid Gold Cadillac . Concentration is the name of the game In a science class.

Marc Todd (10) takes time to do all three. Mr. Goeglein, In the back- ground, was usually busy trying to satisfy as many people as possible. After all the work and planning that goes into a Highlight basketball halftime show, it seems to pay off when the girls who are performing enjoy it. A rough season seemed to bring the team closer together. Coach Hans said at the winter sports banquet, if he had to give a mental attitude award, I ' d give it to the whole team. e ' ve colored it in A crossing train frequently halts traffic through downtown New Haven, as can remnants of the Great Blizzard of ' 78 are also evident. ' Seniors were as lost as frosh ' that we investigated and searched the halls. The sup- posed to know it all seniors were as lost as the freshmen. People were adjusting to the new surroundings. It hap- pened slowly at first, then increased. We became more at ease and felt more at home. Classes were easy to find and cliques formed and gathered at favored locations. We ' ve colored it in 5 At the Homecoming Pep Rally on Thurs- day night, these people try to show the football team they ' re behind ' em all the way. ' Energy crisis halts hot lunches ' We realized it was not the bricks, the tile and paint that gives a school color and personality, but the people there. The people who laughed at the double doors that seemingly led to nowhere and the same peo- ple who cheered at the first Homecoming pep rally in the new gymnasium added color. fc Wc v ' e colored it in During a pregame performance, the Highlights line up to make a tunnel for the football players to enter the field. Many seniors, including Sandy Yingling, take Family Life class to prepare for the future. Although Family Life classes take field trips, have speakers come to their classes, and participate in special pro- jects, they still take tests as part of their grade. At home basketball games, the High lights obviously had spirit. The cheer- leaders, Highlights, and band members worked together throughout the year to help arouse school spirit. We ' ve colored it in 7 On October 16 a dedication and open house for the new school was held. One of the speakers was Mr. Goeglem, princi- pal. When cheers and yells were heard from the fans, it wasn ' t always the students. The adults backed the Bulldogs all the way too. For some, study hall is a place for study- ing; for others, it ' s the place to catch up on the sleep they missed the night before. | I We ' ve colored it in ' We ' ve colored it in The color came from the students who boycotted school lunches by brown- bagging it one day and found out two months later that many had to bring packed lunches. Hot lunches were not served in order to reach the mandatory cut- backs in electricity use. Because of the interaction of all the people and activi- ties in the new building, we soon believed we could truly say We ' ve colored it in. The greenhouse is not only a colorful asset to NHHS, but it also overlooks the town of New Haven. Here Jerry Handschy (9) helps keep the greenhouse orderly. Sophomore class president Doug King represents his class while receiving the third place float award during the Home- coming Pep Rally. We ' ve colored it in 9 Entertainment plays a major role in each student ' s life. It could range from a party to a movie; a good book to a concert. Concert goers saw Kansas perform at the Memorial Coliseum last fall. It wasn ' t always getting a pizza that was fun, it was being with friends. Seniors Jamie Mann, Suzanne Claus, and Peggy Johnson get together for some fun (and food). If the band members aren ' t working hard, they ' re playing hard; the two seem to go hand in hand. They not only helped spirit by playing Eat ' em up , but also by cheering at pep sessions and games. The fun times came easy Although attending classes occu- pied a major portion of our time and energy we made sure we saved some of both for the fun times . Those times together, with friends, whether they be a few moments between classes, a half hour at lunch, or social occasions at night or on weekends, were special. Fun times Fun times 1 1 We celebrated the effort Although many think of a football game when the word Homecoming is mentioned, what comes to mind for many is the frenzied week leading up to the game. During that week classes were franti- cally putting finishing touches on floats till late hours and individuals were engrossed in dressing in assorted cos- tumes for Hat Day , Dress Up Day , and Purple and Gold Day . Sneak up on em and Sock it to em Day also was popular as students and teachers alike dressed in sneakers and assorted wild socks. Thursday night had special signifi- cance because of the float competition, parade, and announcement of the queen. The parade was led by Grand Marshall Magic Christian, disc jockey from WMEE. Floats and cars came rolling down the streets in bright colors. Hun- dreds of pleased faces watched at all points along the parade route; and based on the crowd roa rs it seemed as though they all attended the post-parade pep session. As the crowd poured in the gym the decision on winner of float competition and homecoming queen were on every- one ' s mind. For the second time in his- tory, the Junior class took first place over the seniors. The varsity cheerleaders won for the best decorated car. Linda Bender was 1977 Homecoming queen. The other senior candidates were Jamie Mann, Jill Moyer, and Melodie Dyson. The Homecoming game was a strug- gle but the Eastern Comets came out on top 14-7. Those who planned on celebrating a victory ended up celebrating the effort. Volleyball team members celebrate the first girls ' volleyball conference champi- onship during the Homecoming parade. The girls later earned the title of sec- tional runner-up in a close defeat by Har- ding. For just a moment on Friday night of the Homecoming game we had some crazy fans, a lot of spirit, and a winning team. Eventually we lost the game to Eastern Comets 14-7. Homecoming Sometimes words just aren ' t enough to express how you feel. Linda Bender (12) is announced Homecoming queen at the Pep Rally. It takes planning, practice, and coordina- tion to perfect a split mount. Adding to all of that are the varsity ' s new purple and white uniforms. Student Congress worked hard on this Homecoming float for the court. Senior queen candidates Jill Moyer, Melodie Dyson, Jamie Mann, Linda Bender and representatives Linda Reuille (10), Deb- bie Reed (1 1), and Nancy Szink (9) dressed warmly because it was so cold. When you feel like crying and laughing at the same time it ' s the neatest kind of feeling. After performing at the Pep Rally, Suzanne Claus (12) talks with fel- low Highlight and Homecoming queen, Linda Bender (12). Homecoming 13 You get a good feeling of freedom and fun times when school lets out. Most everybody likes to feel good, so they leave as fast as they can. ven Pizza Hut has become a popular hangout for students. Freshmen Mike Sarrazin and Ellen Hawkins talk over the Bellmont basketball game. rn S% i « Weekends were made for . . . Most people think of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when they hear the word weekend . In a way. New Haven High School students are an exception. There was a certain feeling associated with weekends — relaxation — fun times- a partying mood — and we had plenty of the weekend feeling during the week when school was over at 3:10 each day. Everybody was glad to get away from school — to be free — at least for a while. There were a lot of different activities going on during weekends. Instead of going together a lot of people just dated. Dates usually consisted of a movie, or bowling, or an athletic event, and then getting something to eat after- wards or driving around or going to someone ' s house to watch T.V. On week- ends and evenings many students just drove around and stopped to get some- thing to eat at McDonald ' s or Pizza Hut. Many people went shopping when there was nothing else to do or they had a little extra money from their job. Many people involved in athletics had early Saturday practices, which meant either they went to bed early on Friday evening or they went out and sometimes suffered the next morning. Babysitting, usually an easy way to make money, occupied time on weekends. Sometimes guys got together to play cards and have a good time. Unfortunately, if a teacher gave you homework on Friday, you spent your weekends studying. 1 4 Weekends M« % i The Memorial Coliseum rocked and rolled when Styx played Fort Wayne ' s favorite tunes. Dust in the Wind , and many other tunes by Kansas, were heard by concert goers on Tuesday, December 6, 1977. Weekends 1 5 ESP J When students get the munchies, the golden arches become very attractive. Most of the employees at McDonald ' s are New Haven students. Streaks of red and white lights from the numerous cars that sped by during this time exposure cause the interesting effect. The Pizza Hut in New Haven opened in the fall and it was a popular place for stu- dents to go after games or a movie. Sen- iors Suzanne Claus, Jamie Mann, and Michele Simon get the munchies after performing with the Highlights at a home basketball game. 1 — D GEORGETOWN gTAedZu Georgetown Theatre ' s showing of Sat- jmggay Night Fever and Star Wars ' attracts many NHHS students. 16 Weekends ' Indiana tackles numerous weather problems in 78 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. The person who wrote those famous words must not have been in Indiana during January of ' 78. Snow was the last thing that anyone needed or wanted. Until last winter when one talked about blizzards, the Hoosiers usually thought of Vermont or somewhere far away, Indi- ana is not usually known for blizzards. But a blizzard it was and it kept life at a standstill for 3 or 4 days. People were lit- erally trapped in their homes, at their jobs or on the road. Within 6 miles on a highway, 1,400 cars and trucks were stranded. Heart attack victims were at an all time high. East Allen, along with all other schools, were closed. At first, the news of this added vacation was greatly welcomed. But later, as many found out, being cooped up for a long time wasn ' t as relaxing and enjoyable as we had expected. Being around the same people with nothing to do but play cards, or watch TV can be very nerve racking. Some people were stranded for 3 days or more and when it got to the point where the exciting part of your day was racing to the window just to watch the snow plow go by, you knew it was time for a change of scene! Some people were daring and tried their luck at walking, rather wading, their way through the snow. Many found that they didn ' t have much choice in the mat- ter, as they were low on food and had to make a grueling trek to one of the local grocery stores. For those people with snowmobiles the blizzard was a blessing. Instead of going up north to snowmobile they could stay right here and ride their machines and could help people get places. After the initial excitement of the bliz- zard wore off, many people became very edgy. The slightest thing could set off the bomb of hostility that had built up inside of us all. A lot of people got a different outlook on things during the blizzard. We learned that the grumpy lady next door wasn ' t so bad after all. We learned that some of the TV shows weren ' t as great as we thought and that maybe we didn ' t hate school as much as we thought we did. Just when we started to get settled back down to normal we were subject of two problems that had a definite effect on us all once again. Yes, the coal strike which led to the energy shortage and the snow melting to become a flood. Many things were changed at New Haven High School for energy cut backs. Since the building was built to save energy it was tough for us to cut back without freezing. The school suddenly became darker as the janitors came into classrooms and took out some of the light bulbs. The flood made usage of some streets impos- sible and many people had to be evacu- ated from their homes. Looks like the king has a rather large mountain to rule over. Some of us did take the blizzard in stride and made the best of it. 18 Blizzard After the plows got out and plowed the streets it was still left open to only one lane and four wheel drives. For many little children the snow was just what they wanted; this gave them a chance to play instead of going to school. Even that got old and school was welcome. The snow melted, the rains came and we were flooded. The Maumee River flooded North River Road and people were evac- uated from homes. Blizzard 19 Elvis, Mid East, colorful sayings highlight year This year was different from last year, and it will be different from the next. Many of the things we saw, heard, and said made this year unique. When we picked up a magazine or newspaper, or turned on the TV, we learned the latest news. Two men were making themselves known in the Middle East — Anwar Sadat and Premier Begin. Here at home we were making ourselves nationally known with our own problems, including a few things that made 1977-78 one of the most memorable years in his- tory. A blizzard that coated the Mid- dle West for days and held it motionless followed by a coal short- age because of striking coal miners which resulted in energy cutbacks that affected all of us. And then to top it all off, when the snow finally melted away, it brought the worst floods that the Fort Wayne area had seen since 1913. Two other men were in the news this past year, making themselves known and feared. Son of Sam, David Berkowjtz, terrorized many people in New York City, and when arrested he testified that a dog had possessed him and caused him to murder the innocent victims. The Hillside Strangler strangled several victims in California before he was finally arrested. The past year was a year to say good-bye to many famous people, entertainers and politicians, and people who made America what it really is. Among those who died were Hubert Humphrey, who taught us how to die with dignity. Groucho Marx, Will Geer, Bing Crosby, and king of rock ' n roll, Elvis Presley, each a legend in his own time, left Americans grieving. Many new television shows made their way into American homes last year and sometimes, if not often, kept students from getting home- work done, because they were too good to miss . Among the favorites were Soap, Saturday Night Live which featured the Not Ready For Prime Time Players, Three ' s Com- pany with John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, and Suzanne Sommers and an old western, How The West Was Won. Charlie ' s Angels lost Farrah Fawcett-Majors and gained Cheryl 20 Events Bullet Band, Boston, Lake, Chuck Mangione, Eric Clapton, BeeGees, Supertramp; and in country — a blond-haired lady was getting more famous for her golden locks, meas- urements, and good voice — Dolly Parton. Fort Wayne concert-goers experi- enced a rude awakening this year when Fort Wayne Police Chief Ken- neth Buckmaster attended his first concert at the Memorial Coliseum. He was apalled by the presence of drugs and alcohol and put into operation Concert Crackdown . This resulted in search and seizure of many rock fans, who protested that searching everybody who Ladd. Fort Wayne added a new channel, WFFT-55, and soon people were talking about the Little Ras- cals, Leave it to Beaver, Superman, and other oldies but goodies the new channel brought back. The wild and crazy Steve Mar- tin brought much laughter to the entertainment world as he showed people how to get small and how to have some fun . The science fiction movie, Star Wars, proved that things don ' t have to be real to be believed in, as the movie about a galaxy far, far away ran in theaters for months. Then we realized we are not alone when Close Encounters of the Third Kind also smashed at the box office. Disco became the thing to do when John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever boogied their way into the hearts of movie-go ers. Other well- received movies included the Good-bye Girl starring Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason, Smokey and the Bandit, with Burt Reynolds and Sally Field Rocky with Sylvester Stallone Oh, God! starring George Burns who portrayed God, and John Den ver. At the beginning of the sum mer, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water — JAWS II !!! I Just Wanna Be Your Every- thing and Shadow Dancing were just two of the songs that put Andy Gibb in stardom as well as in the hearts of millions. Another new face was Billy Joel, who sang to the top of the charts with Just the Way you Are and Movin ' Out . Other favorites for New Haven students were Styx, Steve Miller Band, Fleet- wood Mac, Bob Seger and the Silver Events 21 walked in the doors was a violation of a person ' s rights. The searching stopped, but the police continued to confiscate drugs and alcohol, prohibit cigarette smoking in the auditorium, and send people to jail. The biggest result of the Crack- down was when one concert pro- moter. Sunshine Promoters, said that they were not coming back to the Coliseum, and they advised that no one else should either. A new defense for murder trials surfaced when a young defendant, who was charged with murder, pleaded that it was because he Martin, Travolta were favorites watched too much television when he was younger. Possible cancer causes were con- tinually studied, and results of some of the research made people wonder just what didn ' t cause can- cer. One study showed that a ham- burger fried directly on heat, such as on a restaurant grill, could cause cancer. Cigarettes continued to take their toll as the caution on the label went from hazardous to dangerous . Things that were in this year were discos, one piece bathing suits, straight-leg leans, dresses, and especially sun-dresses, shoes with high heels, and plastic framed glasses. The sayings that had come out were just as colorful as the old say- ing like groovy, cool man, etc. Nobody said what ' s happening anymore, they just said a simple hello, but we were saying these things . . . Excuuuuse meee, let ' s get small, how rude, what a drag, what a blow-off, and other colorful, interesting remarks that came from the mouths of students who went to school in the 77-78 year. Other events that happened this year included Evel Knievel who was arrested and put in jail when he beat a man with a baseball bat. Some members of the rock group Lynard Skynard were killed when their plane crashed. President Car- ter proposed to give the Panama Canal back to Panama . Suzanne Sommers and Cheryl Tiegs replaced Farrah in the poster and T- shirt world and a new New Haven High was inhabited and seemed not so new anymore. But all these things put together, and a lot of others, were what made this year one that will not be easily forgotten. Events 23 ' Hitching ' highlight ofHoedown Dressed in farmer-jeans, straw hats, or cut-offs, approximately 150 couples attended the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The dance, usually in March, had to be postponed until May 5 due to the energy shortage. The fair, starting at 6:30 p.m., fea- tured several booths and activities, including the Jr. Olympics, free-throw toss sponsored by Mirage-Herald staffs, the squirt-gun shooting by Spanish Club, and the dunking booth sponsored by German Club. Like years before, Mr. Ste- phens ' movie attracted crowds for every showing. The dance began at 8:30 with the band Destiny supplying the tunes. The theme Hillbilly Hoedown proved itself as cou- ples boogied to fast music, then squared off for some foot-stompin ' square dances. The wedding ceremony which high- lights the annual event occured as Mar- ryin ' Sam , played by Mr. Charles Henke, made his entrance. The girls had to chase their fellows and once they caught them they were ready to get hitched. The ceremony ended with balloons falling down over the crowd. This year ' s King and Queen were Jun- iors Ken Wilson and Annie Davis. Rick Theurer(11) and Kathy Dize(10) were selected Li! ' Abnerand Daisy Mae. Other awards included sexy legs, which went to Clandis Baker (12) and Cathy Sickafoose(1 1). With this ring I thee wed . . .

Evil Bollweevil! If you didn ' t know that you probably didn ' t see the crazy happenings at Happening ' 78. Jay Leo- nard and his sidekick Dan Wallace pro- vided the above as well as many other silly jokes and antics throughout the eve- ning. Happening ' 78 happened Monday April 17 in the auditeria and was host to one of the biggest crowds ever to attend the annual talent show. Mr. Charles Henke was the emcee of the evening, as well as the man who screened all of the acts and made sure that everything went smoothly in the final run. He was fre- quently assisted by senior Ken Knepp, alias the adorable Chuck Barris of the Gong Show. The entire evening literally sparkled and cracked with the excitement and tal- ent that vibrated the stage. Music from the soundtrack of the Saturday Night Fever was used sever al times for dance routines. One of the most outstanding and talented acts of the night was dis- played by sisters Pam and Cathy Sicka- foose, who couldn ' t have thrown fire from the stage and got a better reaction from the audience. Many solos, duets and combinations were sung during the show; songs dating from the present popular You Light Up My Life and going back to Johnny Angel, of the fifties. Junior Beth Frazier proved to have one of the most beautiful voices as she sang backup vocals on quite a few numbers and soloed the song Come in from the Rain. Another added attraction, to the delight of many was the trio consisting of the irristible, loveable, five-foot two, six- foot three exchange students Maren Torske, Bridgette Conradsen, and Linda Hansson. Comedy was again added as seniors Kim Holle, Deb Coklin, Joan Tryzynka, Teresa Backer and Amy Haus, and fresh- man Patty Tryzynka portrayed the Little Rascals in a skit from the show. Disco Dancing has made it big ever since Saturday Night Fever. Dawn Fink and Tammy Robinson do a dance from the movie. ' Gong show ' has their unknown comic and so does NHHS. Stu Mcintosh was a fill-m between acts. Happening ' 78 27 That special evening Prom is the special occasion that every student dreams ot, the occasion that changes a person and puts them in won- derland for just one night. The formal dresses, the tuxedos, the steak dinner by candlelight all add to the magical night that some wish would never end. The morning after . . . sore feet, a tired body, wrinkled dress and a stomach ache— maybe it ' s a good thing prom only comes once a year. April 22 was the date, the IUPU Ball- room was the place and Blue Max pro- vided the music. The prom started at 9 pm with the theme song When I Need You and after that the band went in to a few fast songs. For a while only a few couples danced, but soon everyone forgot their shyness and stepped out on the dance floor. The 1978 Prom King and Queen were Larry Neher and Mindy Roberts. Their court was completed by Linda Meyers and Terry Screeton, Diana Stratton and Scott Hevel and senior attendants Suzanne Claus, Bruce Kraning, Peggy Johnson and Kenny Knepp. The after-prom was at the Georgetown Bowling Lanes from 1 to 3 am, where lots of bowling and billiards were enjoyed. Thanks to the parents of the junior class refreshments were also provided. An affectionate kiss from boyfriend Bill Jeffords goes to the Queen Mindy Roberts. While not dancing, couples took time out for talking, drinking punch or looking at the others dance. i . When you ' re with the right person every dance is special. Slow dancing to When I Need You the theme song puts cou- ples in a serious mood. A special moment — a special feeling.

Debbie Reed (1 1 ) and Pam Sickafoose (12) have a good time at after-prom bowling at Georgetown Bowling Lanes. Prom 29 On Halloween, Seniors were to wear cos- tumes to school. Clandis Baker showed his spirit by dressing up as a pimp. At Happening 78 the seniors did their ■ own version of the Gong Show. Kenny Knepp portrayed Chuck Barris. At the beginning of the year, Gwyn Heine held a Senior Hayride at her home. Sandy Yingling, Julie Eiden and Jennifer DeVoe break from the fun to get some- thing to eat. ntor activities At the Senior Dinner Dance, ' Midnight Magic supplied the tunes while Julie Eiden and other seniors danced. After graduation practice, some seniors got together for some fun and dancing. Dinner Dance highlight of year for seniors With every year comes a new senior class. And each senior class sets out to make the last year the best. This senior class was no different, but they did have an adjustment to make. With a new school came new rules, and new changes took place. When officers were elected, Kenny Knepp held the office of president, with Peggy Johnson as vice president. There was no one running for Secretary so Jim Davidson, who ran for treasurer, held both offices. Later a Senior Council was formed, with a representative from each home room. The officers and Council helped plan activities for the year. Their most impor- tant responsibilities were Sadie Hawkins, Senior Dinner Dance, and Graduation. They did have other activities, including Halloween Dress-up Day, Shorts Day, and the Gong Show at Happening 78. The best event for the Seniors, exclud- ing Graduation, was the Senior Dinner Dance. The dance was on May 23, and over 1 70 tickets were sold. It was held at Geogleins Barn. The program consisted of Kenny Knepp and Peggy Johnson reading the results of the ballots passed out a couple of weeks before. The ballots were Who Was What in our Senior Class . The awards varied from Class Clown, which went to Sandy Yingling and Grant Glas- scock, to Class Flirt, which went to Paula Parris and Larry Lash. The other awards went as follows: Prettiest Smile, Betty Brand and Dave Blumenhurst; Craziest, Becky Aurand and Rick Isenbarger; Nicest, Joan Tryznka and Sam Laurent; Foxiest, Donna Thorp and Mark Ander- son; Most Likely to Succeed, Suzy Faeth and Randy Kummer; Most Likely not to Succeed, Annette Miller and Pat Kloss; Most Artistic, Peggy Johnson and Bret Hahn; Most Talented and Musical, Suzy Faeth and Mark Best; Blow-Off Artist, Carey Brown and Scott Bell; Best Athlete, Norene Jones and Troy Zimmerman; Weirdest Laugh, Peggy Johnson and Mike Skalecki; Brainiest, Suzy Faeth and Max Wilson; Best Dancer, Tammy Robin- son and Tim Gremaux; Longest Hair, Teresa Baker and Jim Davidson; Shor- test Hair, Terri Snell and Steve Shaeffer; Tallest, Stan Bradtmueller and Linda Hanson.

There was a special award to the two people who did the most for N.H.H.S. and the runners-up were Patti Conroy and Brent Adams. The plaques went to Becky Becker and Kenny Knepp. The very next day came the event the senior class had been waiting for all year — Graduation. Senior activities 31 With diplomas in hand. Bill Jeffords and Norene Jones leave the gym. Seniors turn their tassels and become graduates as they get ready to pull their party poppers and fill the air with stream- ers. Graduating — a nice kind of feeling When you were a freshman, you thought of the seniors as big and power- ful upperclassmen, and you regarded them with awe. It seemed so hard to believe that someday you would be a sen- ior and be a part of all their activities. When the summer of 1977 rolled around, you were considered a senior and were expected to act like one — set- ting examples and all that. When the school year began, you vowed this would be your best year ever — you would make sure of that. Well, whatever happened during the year to each senior was decided by that person so whether the year was a good one depends on them but most everyone had at least one thing in common con- cerning their senior year — it went fast — too fast to realize that sometimes they didn ' t take full advantage of being a sen- ior. Sometimes it was hard to comprehend that you were really graduating — after all those years of going to school — you were finally getting out. It became a reali- zation when the senior class met to decide on robe colors, be fitted for caps and gowns, decide on the class motto, and choose recipients of awards for the Senior Dinner Dance. At graduation practice you weren ' t sure if all of this was really happening — you were happy — even ecstatic about graduating — but some of these people you had seen every day at school — in the halls — in class — you would never see again — ever. It all seemed so final. After an hour and a half of practice when approximately 75 seniors went to Club 49 in Payne, Ohio — you knew you deserved to be celebrating — after study- ing so hard for so many years, after prac- ticing so hard to make a certain team, after all the hassles with your parents, and for all the good times too — for all the really terrific times you ' d never forget. On Wednesday, May 24 — as you tried to get your cap on right and find your place in line, it was hard to imagine that last night at the Senior Dinner Dance everybody had such a good time dancing no one really thought about tomorrow night at graduation being the last time for all the seniors to be together. During all the speeches it was difficult to concentrate and realize these people were giving you advice for the rest of your life— but somehow a little of what everyone said sunk in. After the turning of the tassles and the popping of the party poppers, you were really gradu- ated and it was a nice kind of feeling. You could look back on school with feelings of being glad to have done all that you did but also happy to realize you had made it through — and had a terrific time at that. 32 Graduation The graduating class of 78 listens to the concert choir sing their version of a med- ley of ' To Sir With Love ' and ' Mahogany ' . Seniors realized how hot the robes were and Suzanne Rausch and Debbie San- derson were glad to get them off. Graduation 33 It ' s time for a break.

Athletes and fans realized there was more to sports than wins or losses. There were the bruises, cuts, sore muscles, and hours of practice. Athletes had to put up with all these aches and pains to represent the Bulldogs, and regardless if records were good or bad, the athletes knew the fans were proud. sportsmanship Sportsmanship 35 Summer training and experience help Summer played a tremendous part in Cross Country training. Sophomore Larry Gremaux was the only runner to achieve 1,000 miles while Bill Federspiel and Doug Linniger ran 500 miles. Five mem- bers on the team participated in the Fort Wayne Three Rivers Marathon. The heat was a big factor; all but one finished the race. They also ran in meets held by the Fort Wayne Track Club. The original practice started in early August, but by that time the runners were in good shape. The Cross Country team had many spectacular runs this year. A good blend of experienced runners and first year runners kept us from getting ' stale ' and caused everyone to work hard, commented Coach Mulligan. Jim Fitzger- ald had a fantastic run against Wayne when he turned in a time of 12:57. This was the first time in the last three years a harrier has ran under 13 minutes. The team had two All-Conference run- ners, Jim Fitzgerald and Rich Augen- stine, placing fifth and ninth respec- tively. Sophomore Jim Fitzgerald was chosen Most Valuable Runner and was voted next year ' s Co-captain along with Rich Augenstine. The Most Improved award was presented to Sophomore Bill Feder- spiel. The reserve team ended with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. In the sectional. Rich Augenstine has a steady pace along with his opponent.

The same could be said of the 1977 football team. In spite of a 2-8 record, the word quit didn ' t enter into the picture. In the second game of the season the Bulldogs brought the Becker Barrel back to NHHS once again. The Becker Barrel was a traditional battle with Paul Harding High School. NHHS griders have won it three times and have only lost it twice. 1977 was the last year for the Becker Barrel due to a change in coaches at NHHS. John Becker, after eight years of being head football coach, is retiring. Senior Jeff Brockman said, We finally put it together at the end of the year with a 24-0 victory over East Noble. We had the potential to play that way all year, but one game the lineman would do bad and the next game the backs would do bad. In team voting all honors went to the seniors. Jeff Brockman and Tim Gre- maux were the 1977 team captains and were also, voted best all around players at the close of the season. Best lineman was Steve Andrus, best defensive back Dave Lowe, best offensive back was Bruce Kraning. Assistant Coach Pat Monaghan said, The linemen never get the glory, but if it wasn ' t for them, the backs would never get anywhere. We work hard on funda- mentals and it pays off in the end. Opening the hole is Terry Screeton (1 1) after making a good block in the Heritage game. The block helped Senior Bruce Kraning make a first down.

Due to the extensive summer practice ses- sions, the two squads only lost two games apiece. The practice and the coaching had decisive great influence on our record. We also played as a team, commented quarterback Bob Cheviron. The Junior Varsity had a record of 7 wins and 2 losses while the freshmen team had a record of 5 wins and 2 losses. Our ability to make a sustained drive on the ground and our passing offense was the weakest, but the Junior Varsity team worked on these faults and came through with a winning season, said Coach Monaghan. The freshmen had one big problem and that was penalties; but we kept on fighting and came out on top, com- mented freshmen coach Hank Neitert.

Everything was downhill from there. For disciplinary reasons, a top player was kicked off the team. The coach tried to find a partner for Dave Jones. This proved to be difficult and time consum- ing.

Working on the weights, jumping rope, running, and learning how to dive was all included in the August training. The season started off playing a dual match against Harding and Wayne. Win- ning one of the two, the girls finally began their season with a one win; one loss record. The team had a ' cold ' streak, losing the next three games. After beat- ing Leo, 15-11; 15-12, the Bulldogs ended with a winning 1 2-5 record. The girls prepared for the NEIAC Tour- ney with a positive outlook. Going into the tournament with a winning record encouraged us tremendously, com- mented Norene Jones. Columbia City was the first victim. It was a tight match, but the lady Bulldogs pulled through 15- 12; 13-11. Going on in the tourney, the ladies took on Homestead and moved them off the court, 15-2; 15-3. We were on the move, stated Cap- tain Amy Haus. New Haven was in the final match with the favored team, Bell- mont. The match only went into two games for the Bulldogs took charge and scalped the Braves in 1 5-5 and 1 3-6 vic- tories. It was the first time in the history of volleyball at New Haven the girls had ever won the NEIAC Tourney. The Bulldogs drew Wayne as their opponent in Sectional play. New Haven fans swarmed the gym as they were backing their team. Being defeated in the first game did not disturb the Bulldogs. They were out to beat the number one ranked team. The ladies took Wayne by surprise in the second game and beat them 15-11. It was do or die for the Bull- dogs. Preparing to win the match.

With nine seconds to go, New Haven was behind, 12-14, but through Wayne ' s illegal substitution the ball was turned over to the Bulldogs. Time ran out in that game, but the Bull- dogs pulled through for a 16-14 victory over the number one team. Captain Amy Haus commented, I would say beating Wayne was the most exciting game we ever played! New Haven then played Homestead beating them once again. New Haven approached the championship game to play Harding. Beating Harding in the reg- ular season, the Bulldogs were anxious to play. This match along with the others played in the Sectionals took three games only to advance Harding to the Regionals. Experience of the team was a strong point, also the team was a close one and their togetherness showed as they worked well together, stated Coach Kay Heiney. This season for the lady Bulldogs was an excellent one in all aspects not only for the Varsity but the Junior Varsity too. Their season ended with a 6-2 record.

Volleyball 47 Team rebuilds ?ffi in 2-1 8 season s 1978 ... a brand new school, a brand new gym, a new season. This year the team finished with a 2-18 record. At the beginning of the season the team lost three of their key players. With graduation taking last season ' s five starters, this year was a year of rebuilding for Coach Hans and his var- sity basketball squad. After the opening game with Harding, many walked away from the Hawks gym thinking the season was over for the Bull- dogs before it started. But the deter- mined squad kept practicing and kept playing. They also kept losing, but were getting closer to victory each time. How- ever, through their superb ability to play together as a team rather than an indi- vidual, they did manage to overpower Garrett and Bellmont. At the post season awards banquet, three players walked away with well earned trophies. Senior Stan Bradtmuel- ler was recipient of the most rebounds as Senior Bill Jeffords compiled the most points. Sophomore Chris Gentile led in the assist department. Bradtmueller, Jef- fords, and Osborn were the only seniors lost through graduation. Senior Greg Osborne saw little action due to an injury. Blocking the ball is one hope and the only thing on Gregg Fanning ' s (12) mind at this time.

While Norene Jones picks for Tammy Leach, she goes for her shot. The Bulldogs, for the second consecu- tive year, went with only two wins. But that did not mean the opposition had not been in a struggle. The team had their victories, the first and last game of the season. Winning the season ' s opener, in an overtime against DeKalb, the girls had hopes for a winning season. But that sec- ond win did not come until the last game against Snider, 37-18. The team had their best game against Leo. The round- bailers did improve though, in different fields. We bettered in our field goal and free throw percentage, also points scored per game, commented Coach Lose. Injuries throughout the season moved players to different positions. They learned to handle their new positions with as much accuracy and ability as the original player. Four Junior Varsity play- ers saw a few moments of action, as they were there to fill empty spots. The Junior Varsity team had one change; Coach Gerodine Donahue was added to the team as the new assistant coach. With the help of Coach Lose, Mrs. Donahue led her team to a victorious season ending with eight wins and three losses. Sophomore Barb Lane led the team and was voted as team captain.

Wrestlers finish season with 2-8 record 58 Although the wrestling team finished the season with a 2-8 record, the whole season was exciting. In all but four of the dual meets the team was in there wres- tling all the way and could have very eas- ily won rather than lost. The team won the Woodlan Invitational Tourney, which was a spectacular achievement of team effort because all 13 wrestlers contrib- uted points to the championship. The most valuable wrestlers of the sea- son were co-captains senior Jeff Schultz and junior Larry Neher. Jeff Schultz had the most pins for the team (8), and also collected the most points for the team Varsity Wrestling with a total of 84. One of the more stronger points of the team was their very good attitude all year, according to coach Stan Hostetler, who said that all of the team members were willing to work hard at practice, and work with a lot of hustle and desire throughout the season. Individual achievements during the season included sophomores Greg Davis and Tom Leazotte and junior Larry Neher, all of whom were champions in the Woodlan Invitational. Runners-up at the Woodlan Invitational were Ted Wil- son, Jeff Schultz and |unior Mike Polios. Champions at the New Haven Invita- tional were Larry Neher and senior Bruce Kraning, and runner-up was Jeff Schultz. The most-improved player of the year was sophomore Richard Bugher, who along with Greg Davis, Jeff McNary and Terry Smith placed third in the IHSAA Sectionals. Participants in the sectionals who placed second were Ted Wilson, Larry Neher and Bruce Kraning and first place winners were Jeff Schultz and Dave Pickett.

Varsity Wrestling 59 Sickness, weather cause poor record Junior Varsity also had a poor year, for many of the same reasons the Varsity did. Sickness and bad weather were two of the reasons they didn ' t do too well. The best match of the season was against the Belmont Braves, in which the Bulldogs won 26 to 21. Belmont had a tough team but everyone wrestled well and they came away with a victory. Coach Stan Hostetler said that if most of the freshmen and sophomores return the team should be really good. Sophomores usually wrestle on JV, but four sophomores wrestled on Varsity this year so the JV team suffered because of this loss. One of the strong weight classes on the JV team was 1 19 lb. with Tom Leazette, Richard Bugher and Gary Grove. Tom and Richard wrestled Varsity and one or the other would wrestle JV. Two weight classes weren ' t filled, 185 and heavyweight, and this hurt the team score. 6 1 JV has a big part in the wrestling pro- gram. Larry Neher commented, If it wasn ' t for the JV the Varsity wouldn ' t be anything. The varsity wrestlers had to work hard so that they wouldn ' t lose their place on the team. JV wrestlers played a big part on the winning-losing season, Mr. Hostetler said.

Fans backed the Bulldogs A person needs to be optimistic — look on the bright side — but it was hard to be that way when it came to our athletic events. Let ' s face it — in a lot of sports, we lose more than our fair share; but there was a bright spot if you chose to look. The fans. No matter what, we always had people ready to back the Bulldogs — regardless of whether we won or lost. Many times there were more adult fans than student fans. Lack of interest and school spirit and having other things to do, such as jobs, contributed to the scarcity of stu- dent backing. A lot of the adult fans were parents of participants, but there were quite a few who came just because they had faith in our Bulldogs. 62 Fans Fans 63 After the sectional defeat, the fans leave with the thought of next year on their minds. Some cheering, yelling, and some just watching the game. The varsity and J.V. cheerleaders both cheered at the Northrop sectional game. 64 Fans At the sectional pep session, the stu- dents listen closely to the players predic- tions for the game. New Haven was optimistic If you would, stop and think what a basketball or football game or a wrestling match be without screaming, wild, hys- teric, and hopeful fans. It just wouldn ' t be an athletic event, because all things that make up an athletic event are losses, wins, fans, cuts and bruises, and even more things all wrapped together, so you see, winning isn ' t everything. Even if records were bad, still the fans didn ' t stop coming to athletic events. Real fans don ' t come to see the athletes win. They come to back them. To see them fight for their school ' s name. We were proud of our Bulldogs whether we won or lost, because they kept on trying, and that ' s one of the hardest things to do . . . never giving up. Have you ever seen so many saddle shoes? At a home basketball game, the fans watched the game closely. Fans 65 J V ' s get new assistant coach The varsity team ended their season with a record of 13 losses and 12 wins. The hitting never came around, as the team average dipped below .200. The pitching staff had to carry the team, especially Senior Rick Ste- vens and Mike Snyder (1 1). Rick was the number one pitcher. Although he compiled a record of only 5-3, he had a sparkling ERA of 1.01 with 85 strike-outs in 62 innings. Mike filled the second pitching posi- tion admirably by recording a 4-3 win- loss mark, with an excellent ERA of 1.43. John Suciu led the team in 3 offen- sive categories including average (315) hits (17) (tied with Brad Smuts) and 1 1 runs. Rick Moyer led the team with 1 1 runs batted in on only 10 hits and . 1 96 average. Sam Laurent added 10 RBI ' s, four coming on a grand slam. The Junior Varsity team had an up and down season. All the way up and then all the way down. New Assistant Coach Tom Muth managed the JV team replacing Fred Cass. The team started out tremen- dously as they rattled off three wins in a row. Then they ran into some tougher competition losing their next three, ending their season at .500. Baseball Team — Front Row: Marty Lyp, T. J.

Rain prevented many of the girls ten- nis matches to be played. Four games were completely cancelled; and more than half the games had to be resche- duled. Despite all the rainy days, the girls came out ahead with a winning season. Seniors Norene Jones and Pam Sicka- foose had an exciting season. They were number one doubles team, placed third at the NEIAC Conference and were seeded number one at the Sectionals. Norene and Pam placed second at the Sectionals. Regionals proved to be the downfall of the doubles team, as they were defeated in the first round of play. The team was privileged to have an exchange student, Bridgette Conradson, from Denmark. Bridgette played on the reserve team and was voted by her team- mates the Most Improved Player. Junior Kelly Lothamer received the Best Mental Attitude award. She played the number one singles position. Jamae Stephens, Nancy Sickafoose, Tracey Kintz and Karen Ashman filled the rest of the positions. The position of second doubles were filled by Junior Cathy Sickafoose and Teri Fntcha who did a tremendous job by hav- ing a winning season, even though it was their first year of partnership. Jenny Rohyahs and Trina Chapman played on the reserve team. Half of the number one doubles team for New Haven is senior Norene Jones. Warming up before the match is the sec- ond doubles team, Cathy Sickafoose and Ten Fritcha. 70 Girls Tennis Timing it just right, Junior Cathy Sicka- foose keeps an eye on the ball to ace her opponent. Freshman Nancy Sickafoose filled the fourth singles spot.

Trackmen end with successful season The Bulldogs finished in a rather dis- appointing third place in the Conference but still had their best season in recent years. Injuries and other mishaps kept the team from performing up to their potential. The season did provide excite- ment for the die-hard fans who turned out for the meets in the predominantly dismal weather. The senior athletes pulled their share of the load, but the emergence of some underclassmen may have turned the tide for the Bulldogs. Senior Greg Schultz tied his personal record with a pole vault of 13 ' 3 in the Conference meet. The high- light of the season came when Sopho- more John Brand exploded over the high jump bar in the Conference meet for a school record of 6 ' 4 . Freshman Rick Norton, also in the high jump, leaped 6 ' % but was only the third best on the team as Eric Bilik jumped 6 ' 3 . Jeff Brockman and Mike Davis were the top discus throwers, but Nate Swen- son, a sophomore in his first year of track gave teammates a challenge with a 135 ' 9 throw in the last regular meet of the season. Larry Elwood improved his shot put- ting steadily and squeaked into the Sec- tionals with a heave of 45 ' 2 , just two inches over the minimum qualifying mark. He couldn ' t beat Mike Davis who threw the shot 46 ' 6 . Track 73 Trackmen end with successful season Sophomore Jim Fitzgerald, the Most Valuable Trackman, proved himself a versatile and valuable member of the team by running a 4:36 mile and a 2:00:8 half mile. Jim also ran on the mile relay squad which had a 3:27 clocking this season. Joining him on that relay team were Terry Screeton, Steve Chevi- ron and Mike Kloss. Seniors Stu Mcintosh, Tim Gremaux and sophomore Marty Gaskill divided the 100 meter chores while Stu and Ken Knepp ran the 200 meter. Ken Knepp, Stu Mcintosh, Marty Gaskill and John Filosa combined for a 1:37 time in the 800 meter relay race. Leading New Haven in the two mile this season with an excellent time of 10:17 was Senior Scott Crosley. Sopho- more Doug Lininger took over the num- ber two spot this year with a 1 0:49 time. The Freshman-Sophomore team made their annual trip to the Bluffton Relays. The team returned with the winning tro- phy for the second consecutive season. The Bulldogs captured first places in all the field events and placed no less than second in all the other events.

Track 75 First year team works hard, long For the very first time girls had the privilege to have a track team. The coaches came over from the junior high and helped the girls get into shape. The practices were long and hard. Bending, stretching, and a lot of moaning was the obvious outcome of practice. The girls were finally ready to come out and compete. Two very strong points the girls had were Tammy L each and Sally Haus, both in field events, Tammy with the softball throw and Sally with the shot put. Both of the girls went to Regionals but only Tammy proceeded on to State and did outstandingly well but did not place. Tammy ' s longest throw was 214 ft. Lettering girls were Chris Glaze, Julie Eiden, Sally Haus, Tammy Leach, Jane Brand, and Cathy Kortenberg. Girl ' s Track Team — Front Row: Carol Kleinrichert, Michelle Goulet, Loretta Lantz, Larita Weikel, Stacy Biteman, Donna Yingling, Barb Lane, Cathy Kortenberg and Jane Brand. Row 2: Chris Glaze, Tammy Leach, Mary Kay Moyer, Terry Mauller, Rhonda Wetosky, Trina Gentile, Karen Huml, Wanda Wetosky, Beth Holsaple. Back Row: Coach Ruby, Theresa Mierau, Rhonda Tatman, Bridgett Stoller, Nancy Hathaway, Melea Schaffer, Sally Haus, Sandy Yingling, Julie Eiden, Julie Losher, Jamie Roberts, Janet Kanable, Michelle Barnes, Shelly Karrick and Coach Robinson. The right switch could make it or break it. Here Loretta gives the right switch to Rhonda Wetosky. Shot Put winner of first place many times over, is Sally Haus, at it again. 76 Girl ' s track The thrill of victory glimmers in the eyes of Loretta Lantz as she looks surprised to finish the race in high standings. With both feet off the ground it looks as if Mary Kay Moyer is flying to the finish line. nTWI Sprinters worked very hard at improving their speeds and did quite well. Cathy Kortenberg had the desire to improve and she did very much and proved to be an asset to the team. Girl ' s track 77 Teeing off is Mike Farrell (1 1). At an away match, juniors Brian Mettert and Ron Forks look over the score card. Team compiles 7-5 record The golfers had a fine year with 7 wins and 5 losses. Leading the team all year was Senior Dave Blumenhurst who fin- ished the year with a 38 average. Close behind were Mike Farrell and Ron Forks with averages of 40 ' s. But just like everything else, practice was halted due to weather problems. For golf, it was the flood. Two weeks went by before the boys could get out and tackle the course once again. Mike Farrell said, Next year we will be having four returning lettermen and we should get a lot accomplished and have a good season. When Dave Blumenhurst leaves the team, they will feel the jolt, but Dave is on to bigger and better things. He ' s on his way to a junior college to play golf. The golf team ended fourth in the con- ference. 78 Golf Golf Team— Coach Frank Clark, Mike Farrell, Ron Forks, Mike Tarka, Brian Mettert. Not pictured: Dave Blumen- hurst.

Golf 79 Sports — it ' s for everyone Sports activities are a major part of NHHS students. Most cannot or will not participate in the organized school sports; but that doesn ' t abort the fun of a little volleyball or soccer game with the gang. Bell ' s Rink is a popular spot for rollers- kating freaks. It provides the relaxation and exercise needed to relieve students of the drudgery of school. Georgetown and Brunswick are the scenes of the ever popular bowling and billiards. Senior Kenny Barr, who carries a 191 bowling average, said, It ' s a sport that is fun, challenging, and relaxing. Everyone ought to participate. High scores aren ' t a necessity, just having fun at the lanes is. The easy-going game of billiards is a great way for pool sharks to earn a lit- tle extra money. Many, though, just play to have fun and to be with friends. Another long time favorite is table ten- nis. Garages and game rooms are usu- ally filled with participants at a game of round robin, doubles, or singles. The rich man ' s sport has become a popular favorite of the average person. New Haven is tennis crazy, and it is proven by the courts, which are always crowded. Since the courts are full, street tennis provides the outlet for a friendly practice session. When the courts are crowded Lanta Weikel (9) does the next best thing and practices in the street. See I can do it, exclaims Michelle Carr (9) as she tries her hand at skateboard- ing. 80 Personalized sports Taking a relaxing spin on their bicycles are freshmen Michelle Carr and Michelle Barnes. Personalized Sports 81 The oldies but goodies are back America has a reputation of working hard and pursuing progress, but we also know how to have a good time. Forever searching for newer and more exciting forms of recreation, we cling to old favor- ites. Baseball has stood the test of time in the USA and is as American as apple pie . To play it right requires a vast open field, eighteen people, two hours, nine gloves, a few bats, and four bases, and last but not least a baseball. This easy- going sport remains popular even in these days of fast food, fast cars, fast liv- ing. It ' s our national sport, stated many experts. Another team sport is basketball, par- ticularly big in Indiana. Much like the fabled mailman, neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night can keep the Hoosier youth off the basketball court. However, the Blizzard of ' 78 did halt operation temporarily. After the white stuff finally melted, Indiana once again heard the familiar swish of balls through hoops — music to the ears. One sport rose as the snow did, how- ever, cross country skiing. To some peo- ple it was a necessity as it was the only form of transportation during the Bliz- zard. Of course, the traditional downhill skiing remained high on the list of winter activities for NHHS students. Many outdoorsmen went into fields or woods hunting and trapping game. Good hunters hunt for the challenge — not for the thrill of the kill, stated Soph- omore Ryan Barrientos. Hunters usually go in groups of one or two or with hunt- ing parties of a sizable amount of people. One oldie but goodie making a come- back is the skateboard. Much like the hula-hoops and nerf balls of the past, the skateboard made a brief but brilliant appearance in the hearts of Americans, then lost its appeal. Now it has returned to stay and can even be seen in New Haven, whose largest hill barely qualifies as a bump. Skateboarding ' s main flaw is its danger, especially to beginners. Northern Indiana boarders were dis- appointed when Franke Park decided to build a toboggan slide instead of a skate- board track, due to the hazards involved. The ranks of joggers are multiplying with more and more people of all ages pounding the pavement every day. This relatively simple sport is not without its problems though. Dogs and cars present the largest hazard to runners and ice comes in a close third for the truly dedi- cated jogger of the winter. When we think of summer, we usually think of lazy, hazy days by the old swim- min ' hole. Those swimming hours are quite crowded in those hot, sultry July and August days. Besides being a good way to beat the heat, swimming is one of the best exercises for all-over body tone and doesn ' t require too much equipment or skill. Another summer days activity that game which involves throwing a round disc through the air — the frisbee! This game requires only a stretch of air and a frisbee. Tricks range from simple catches to complicated spins and games, like frisbee golf. Forms of entertainment in the good ' ole U. S. of A. range in simplicity of rules, and equipment to the number of people involved. So solo or ask a friend — but enjoy your spare time by keeping active. After a tiring hour of frisbee, Freshman Michelle Barnes and Larita Weikel relax on the cold cement to regain energy for another round. 82 Personalized sports Freshmen Michelle Barnes, Larita Weikel, and Michelle Carr are obviously enioying themselves while taking a short |og.

Personalized sports 83 Times like this should not be forgotten In the last quarter of a home basketbai game against rival Bellmont, all thi cheerleaders and fans cheered the bas ketball team on to victory. The Varsity cheerleaders received a much-deserved first place car award in the Homecoming parade. The seniors in band prepared a football halftime show in which the band played •The Mickey Mouse March, ' and Jay Leo- nard (11) played the part of Mickey and chased the band around the field. 84 Cheerleaders Arousing school spirit difficult task Many people do not realize the time and ettort put forth by the cheerleaders. During the summer, Varsity practiced six hours a week and they attended a UCA camp at Indiana University where they placed in the top ten squads out of 800 girls. The girls received the spirit stick every night and brought it home to help arouse spirit at school, which proved to be a difficult task. Each girl on the squads had her own special value so it is hard to choose most valuable . Gwyn Heine was the captain of Varsity and organized summer activities and their responsibilities at games, but most important she was a leader. The cheerleaders were involved in many different activities. They per- formed at a basketball halftime with the Highlights to Rock Around the Clock . A lot of time and hard work went into the Homecoming activities such as the Pep Rally and the Pep session. The girls also had their annual Christmas party. One cheerleader pointed out that many people would understand the trials and tribulations of being a cheerleader better if they could see things through the eyes of a cheerleader. In expressing the way she feels about being a cheerleader Cathy Sickafoose commented, I just hope that I can make people happy with my cheering and representing the school. Always cheering, Diana Stratton (11), was a valuable member of the Varsity cheerleading squad. If I weren ' t a New Haven cheerleader, a stewardess I would be! Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders did a skit at the Homecom- ing pep rally to arouse spirit.

You ' ll remember the friends you cried and laughed with and the friends you celebrated victories and mourned defeats with. Your friends made the school year colorful, one that will not be forgotten. friends Friends 87 Unity helps seniors through changes Many adjustments were made by the senior class as rules and regulations had to be changed for the new school. Traditionally the seniors had single lockers, and a senior hall. It was all changed as the new school did not have enough lockers. The class of ' 78 could not decorate the halls for Homecoming, or Sectionals due to fire regulations. Homecoming was the biggest let down as the junior class beat the seniors in the float competition. The 1977-78 school year wasn ' t all bad as special days were set aside for seniors. Halloween was dress-up day as a variety of costumes (Witch, Marx Broth- ers, Gorillas, and Rageddy Ann and Andy) were observed through the halls. May 4 was set aside for shorts day, but the cool weather prevented many from participating. Senior dress up day, May 11, proved much better, as most seniors wore their good clothes. Senior Skip Day was May 12, with almost half of the class participating. Many of those who couldn ' t skip on May 12, chose other dates throughout the year for their senior skip day. Becky Becker and Kenny Knepp were named the persons who did the most for NHHS on May 23, at the Senior Dinner Dance. May 24 finally arrived as the class of ' 78 held their commencement exercises. 1977-78 had been very unusual, but the senior class united, and overcame the many changes and obstacles for a good year. Class officers were elected the second week in September. Elected for the sen- ior class were President Kenny Knepp; Vice President Peggy Johnson; Secretary Treasurer Jim Davidson.

Melodie visited Mary Jo at the Fort Wayne State Hospital and Training Center every Sunday. This came about when Red Cross volunteers came to New Haven High School and asked for volun- teers. Every other week Melodie and Mary went out to eat, shopping or just to Melo- die ' s. Melodie taught Mary the art of cooking, and so sometimes Mary even cooked for Melodie. There were a few rough spots at first; times when Melo die forgot to call Mary and she got upset. Then Mary started calling Melodie in the morning to make sure she was up for school. Helping Mary gave Melodie some experience on her way to becoming a psychiatrist, and as one of Melodie ' s friends put it, Melodie had the same cheerfulness as a senior as she has had ever since I ' ve known her. And her cheer- fulness has spread to help others. RANDY G. EASTERDAY: Industrial Arts Club 2,3 STEVE M EDMISTON JULIE A.

Lisa didn ' t work for good grades just so she could have the title of valedictorian. I do it for myself, explained Lisa. Hopefully, Lisa will be accepted into I. U. Medical School after majoring in Biology at ndiana University. Following med school, she would like to be accepted into a four year program in opthamology or orthopedic surgery. ' ve always been anxious to get into col- lege. High School was too long and it didn ' t give me much chance to take classes that were in the field of my intended endeavor, commented Lisa. She will be in school for approximately 12 years, after completing high school. This includes 3-4 years of pre- med school, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of training in her specialty. Even after Lisa becomes a doctor, she will always be studying to keep up with the new find- ings in medicine. KIM D.

What the 6 ' 0 senior is referring to is the long agonizing hours he has spent running. In the long run it was well worth it. Troy has always loved to run. As a boy, he and his neighbors would have races. Running, to him, was just natural. His career in high school began when he was a freshmen. Not being liked by his teammates, Mr. Carl Sipe was the one person who encouraged him to continue running. Troy has participated in Cross Country and in Track, during his high school years. While on those teams Troy Let- tered every year and to account for his lettering, he received his letter blanket this year after consuming seven varsity letters. According to Troy receiving his letter blanket was a feeling of accomplishment, and thats a good feeling. It is nice to know all the hours he had spent in partic- ipating that running would be worth it. If he had the chance he would become a freshmen once again and try to improve not that I am not satisfied now, though. ' KENNETH F.

The practices really help build up my stamina for the meets. You get tired but you can ' t quit, he replied. A lifeguard, Kent Notestine, who dove, encouraged me to work on differ- ent dives. He spent some of his extra time helping me with some routine dives. In 1975 and 1976 competition Bob placed second on the high board and third on the low board. At the 1977 national AAU diving competition he placed sixteenth. The city meet was bet- ter for Bob as he outranked all his com- petitors. Diving costs $12 a week — adding up to $624 per year. An extra $600 went into paying for a coach, which he had for four years. DAVID N. PICKETT: Band 1,2,3,4; Indus- trial Arts Club 2,3; Wrestling 1 ,2,3,4 LORI E.

Martian, Kathy Rob- erts, has found a friend for life. Per- haps she can take her new friend, Linda Hansson, back to her home planet for a visit. 98 Seniors France?. . . maybe someday ' Everybody just acted like themselves and nobody thought anything about it. This statement reflects the feelings of Becky Aurand after she returned from France. Becky visited France during the summer of 1977. Before going to France, she had to take a written test equivalent to the test Indiana University gives for foreign lan- guage placement. Following that test, which she passed, forms and more forms had to be filled out by family, friends and Becky herself. A select few then had an interview spoken half in Eng- lish and half in French. Questions asked were about the region of France the stu- dent was going to visit, French politics, French lifestyle, and French foods. They were also required to read something in French. They really checked you out, laughed Becky. Thirty people from Indi- ana were then chosen for the lU-spon- sored 6-week trip. Becky stayed in Paris one week out of the six that she was in France. She attended school 4-6 hours a day and also took field trips. For five weeks Becky lived with her family whom she became very close to. My ' parents ' were young and easy to talk to. They really were more like older friends, explained Becky. Her par- ents had a 4-year-old girl and a 1 -year- old boy. It was obvious that we were Ameri- can, remarked Becky. The clothes and accents are the biggest differences between Americans and the French. The French wear clogs and they don ' t wear tennis shoes. They wear mostly dark col- ors and plaids and stripes together. The values of the French people are different from ours. They spend most of their money on food. Most French people have junky cars and not much money is spent on clothes or jewelry. Emphasis is placed on spending time with the family. Becky would really like to visit France again for many reasons. She misses her family and the relaxed atmosphere in France. You can wear anything you want, you can drink; everybody drinks, reflected Becky. Although everybody was real helpful and friendly, Becky still likes the United States better. When asked if she would ever consider living in France, Becky hes- itated. Well, maybe someday, she said. DOUG E. SWYGART: Band 1,2,3; Choir 3,4; Football 1,3; Wrestling 2 SUSAN D.

I don ' t think I ' ll ever want to fly commercial air- planes, it ' s just too complicated. I want to stick to flying for the enjoyment, not the money, says senior Scott Crosley. To earn a pilot ' s license Scott had to take one year of school (Cessna) at Baer Field with courses in both ground train- ing and in flight training. Also required is an FFA written ex am, which has an 80% flunk out rate the first time through. Finally, a test is scheduled with an instructor. Many expenses are involved: $200 for license; $20 for plane rental; $11 per hour for the instructors; and the cost of a physical, which is required before train- ing. Scott thinks that the hardest part of flying is learning the rules, and regula- tions, and most important, is the weather. Safety, and emergency proce- dures are also stressed extremely.

Seniors 101 v Juniors take first in Homecoming float competition Juniors were a little puzzled, too, upon entering the new high school at the end of August. After a month or so passed by, officers were elected. When the votes were tal- lied, Jill Todd was elected president, Sue Elsea, vice-president; Linda Bruder, sec- retary; and Jackie Hans, treasurer. Later that month the Juniors were vic- torious as they took the first place trophy in class float competition. Many Juniors experienced planning and attending their first prom, and many drove cars to school for the first time. And, in spite of such headaches as PSAT ' s, U.S. History, Iowa Scholastic Tests, or deciding on job or college, it was a good year for the Juniors.

There are a lot of good things about being Vic the Bulldog-like being able to let myself go and show people I have a lot of spirit. I am proud to show I am with the team and to show everyone I am the mascot. I enjoy everything about being Vic, said Jay. According to Jay, to be a good mascot you should be fun to be around, happy, and never be in a down mood. The costume kind of covers me up. I don ' t think I could stand out there in reg- ular clothes. I don ' t like to wear the head because people can ' t hear me yell, Jay said. Although he never appears nervous out on the gym floor, he sometimes is. If you aren ' t nervous out there, then there is definitely something wrong with you, said Jay. I like to show my enthusiasm in sports, and this is the way I choose, Jay stated.

Ken had a lot more to do than just snapping pictures; he had to make photo assignments for the other photographers, print and make up to 60-80 pictures a week, and keep the darkroom in order. I just became interested in photogra- phy in the eighth grade when I took pic- tures for the junior high school yearbook. Then it just stayed with me. I really enjoy taking pictures, said Ken. He has $1,000 invested in his photo equipment, with a new camera and a variety of lenses, and with all the film he uses, it adds up. Ken ' s favorite type of pictures are scenery and animals. He has entered in numerous contests and received honora- ble mention in one and won an award this year at Ball State ' s Journalism Day.

Fewer adjustments were necessary for sopho- mores due to less difficulty in schedul- ing. The sophomores in charge this year were, president; Doug King, vice-presi- dent; Teresa Snyder, secretary; Jan Gib- son, and Bridget Stoller was the trea- surer. The main goal of the class according to the president Doug King was to try to raise enough money to have a good prom. Another goal was to try and get more people involved in activities and show them that we do exist. While trying to reach those goals, the sophomores placed third in the home- coming float competition, and sold Hal- loween Greetings. The entire sophomore class sold $3,600 worth of magazine subscriptions to raise towards prom next year. They also had a fortune telling booth at Sadie Hawkins.

In the summer of 1977, sophomore Larry Gremaux ran mornings and afternoons six days a week, to add up to 1 ,000 miles. Those long and hot treacherous hours of running were just to prove to Larry he could do it. Larry was on the freshman track team the year before he ran the 1,000 miles. There wasn ' t a lot for Larry to get ready physically, just psychologi- cally. When asked what it took to run 1,000 miles, he replied You just have to have good shoes or you will wear your legs out. Larry now has proven to him- self he can run 1,000 miles in one sum- mer. He plans on maybe just 500 next year.

Sophomore Melea Shaffer takes part in numerous sports and loves it. Melea said, It gives me something to do and a chance to get to know people. Her favorite sport is volleyball, and at 5 ' 7 ' 2 she ' s a good spiker. She ' s played volleyball for five years and has a varsity letter. Melea plays forward on girls varsity basketball and has a school record of 17 rebounds for one game. Melea also is on the girls track team. In the summer she plays softball, and has played for six years. A teammate of hers ' said, Melea has one of the best personalities for sports. Even though practices have a reputa- tion of being a hassle, Melea said, it ' s more of a help. Melea has accumulated 10 trophies to show for her effort, and she will possibly add many more. 112 Sophomores Not all tests are given on paper, as Frank Doster(10)and Kevin Behrer (10) found out in Mr. Ritchie ' s third period auto shop.

Most of the upperclassmen were puzzled but for the freshmen it was even more of a major adjustment. Although everybody was unsure of where they were going, after a while everything fell in place. Due to the unpacking and hassles of moving in, the freshman class was una- ble to get candidates to run for class offi- cers. But they did manage to get some- one in Student Congress though, as Thad Smith filled the vacancy. During Homecoming week, freshmen took first in the Purple Gold class com- petition. In the float competition, the frosh took a fourth; as the parade wore on the float started falling apart. This was a first time in float competition for this year ' s freshman. k.

Freshman Tom Haus is getting up in the world these days. Tom, who stands 6 ' 3 ' 2 , plays center on the Junior Varsity Basketball team. This is a very unusual position for a freshman to be playing. But Coach Ron Hoffer has found eager- ness and potential in Tom. Tom has an average of eight points and seven rebounds per game. Tom started playing for a team in the seventh grade. My dad influenced me and he always kept after me to keep practicing. He is always there when I need help. When Tom was asked to play for the Junior Varsity team he was very excited, and felt that he had reached a goal he had set for himself. But he wasn ' t sure he was ready to leave his freshman tea- mates behind. 1 1 8 Freshmen Jackson, Michael Jacquay, Pierre Janes, Lonnie Jennings, Pam Jennings, Phil Jenson, Andrew Johnson, Karen Johnson, Robin Freshmen Monesmith, Matt Moyer, Mary Kay Murua, Jim Newkirk, Teresa Nichter, Steve Norton, Rick Norton, Ron Ortner, Todd Parker, Doug Pauley, Mai Payne, John Peden, Michael Pence, Richard Perlberg, Chris Petters, Robert Pfingston, Brian Police, Trudy Poppele, Lori Potter, Gary Quandt, Sue Ratledge, Lisa Rauch, Richard Raugh, Kelly Reagin, Stacey Redman, Greg Reed, Sherry Reimschisel, Bill Resor, Penny Reynolds, Todd Rider, Sheri Rinard, Joellyn Ripley, Tim Roach, Marty Robinson, Steph Rochyby, Cindy Rodenbeck, Robin Roehling, Don Roemer, Deanne Rondot, Jon Royal, Judy Royal, Kim Rudolph, Darren Runyan, Doug Rush, Paul Rutherford, Lora Saalfrank, Joe Sanders, Lori Sanderson, Scott Sarrazin, Brenda Sarrazin, Mike Saylor, Gaylene Scheeler, Todd Scheindley, Andrea Schillmger, Jerry Schimmoller, Elaine Schnelker, William 120 Freshman Nothing can stop me from my desires in life ' ' Even though freshmen Thaddeus Smith lives on crutches daily, others probably notice it more than he does. Handicapped from birth with cerebal palsy, Thad firmly believes Nothing can stop me from my desires in life. Thad is very musically inclined, he sings and plays the drums, trumpet, piano and plays them well. He seems to find himself spending time with his music. Thad said Everyone doesn ' t have the talent I have and I am very grateful for this. Thad ' s goal for his sophomore year is to be in Swing Choir. Thad is as active and involved as most teens, and more active than many. Thad is the president of the freshmen class. He marches in the band and he ' s also on New Haven ' s Swim Team. At home he watches football, and plays too. Thad might not do these things in exactly the manner you or I do, but he does them just as well.

Teachers at NHHS have interests in a wide variety of areas, and the literary field is definitely one of them. Magazine articles, poem collections, psychology and journalism books are currently in the works for publication by various mem- bers of the NHHS faculty. The Golden Straw Lane That Led Nowhere is the title of a book of poems written by Mr. Larry Huff, English teacher. Mr. Huff explained. My book shows the negative aspects of American life; then I go on to illustrate poetry through photography. The publishers of my book wanted me to produce a romantic collection of poems, but being the man that I am, that ' s just not for me. So I designed it my way, remarked Mr. Huff. The topics Mr. Huff has included in his book range from criticizing young love to romantic love, macho male to the modern woman, and the country going nowhere to the damned politicians. Art teacher Mr. Steve Nelson dis- cusses the attitudes of people in his book, Attitudinalism. I think people have the wrong idea about life — they ' re too pessimistic, he commented. His favorite time to write is in the afternoon. It ' s very relaxing for me at that time of day, he added. Mr. Nelson also enjoys writing plays and stories, and playing the guitar and dabbling with his paint brush. Besides writing for magazines and other publications, Mr. John Larsen, the new publications adviser, is in the proc- ess of finishing a new book on school edi- torial management. Mr. Larsen explained, The book has yet to be titled but I do have one in mind. Photography is a main interest of Mr. Larsen ' s, as is skiing and fishing. 124 Faculty, staff Teachers busy long before 8:10 Many events happen before 8: 1 every morning for faculty and students alike. Students, we know, visit with friends or catch up on homework that should have been done the night before. But what do faculty members do? The morning begins early for most of the faculty as they arrive at school between 7:15 and 7:45 am. There are, however, occasionally a few late strag- glers. Morning newspapers, cigarettes, cof- fee, or even a McDonald ' s carry-out breakfasts are needed to start some members of the faculty off right. Many teachers work on lesson plans, grade papers, or prepare work for their students for that day. Some use the time to help students who are behind or are having troubles in their classes. For some, there is no better way to start off a bad day than by patroling the restrooms or the parking lots; however, they feel that it is necessary. Activities for each faculty member are many; most of their days start before six and end after ten. It is often a hard and time consuming job, that takes more than eight hours a day. When there just isn ' t enough time at home to read the newspaper Mr. Garvin stops in at the office and picks up a copy to look over. The few moments before 8: 1 are peace- ful and Miss Kay Hemey, uses these moments to grab some coffee and look at a rule book.

After 24 years May, Wolfe retire Students and staff of New Haven High School bid farewell to two teachers at the close of the ' 77- ' 78 school year; Mr. Francis May and Mr. Robert Wolfe. Mr. May taught English and was also in charge of National Forensic League and Masque and Gavel for many years. Mr. Wolfe taught geometry and health. He taught here for 24 years and looked for ward to his retirement. He plans to visit relatives, travel and work in his gar- den. He also looks forward to visiting his daughter who is a teacher in Illinois. I told her I ' d help her grade papers, Mr. Wolfe said. Mr. May taught at New Haven since 1954, plans to go fishing, exploring and relaxing during his retirement. He also will travel during the winter, to some- where warm, he said. Honors Grammar helped students pre pare for college for many years. Now with Mr. May retired. Senior English will take its place. Geometry was a little easier for Senior Larry Beard, by getting help from Mr. Wolfe.

' Helping others helped me : Helping people help themselves is a major goal of Ms. Carol Glossenger, busi- ness teacher. The program in which she fulfills this goal is called Adventures and Attitudes. The program is set up to help people help themselves and also better their attitudes on life and on them- selves. Ms. Glossenger is the co-ordinator of this program and is very pleased and proud of the success she is having with it. In the past year she has helped over seventy-five people better their attitudes due to the program. The summer of ' 78 she coordinated the program for the fac- ulty of NHHS. Adventures and Attitudes has cap- tured the attention of the local people and the media. Ms. Glossenger appeared on Channel 21 ' s Cross-talk in February and in early March she appeared in the Journal Gazette. I was impressed with the media recognition, but the meeting of people and seeing a positive change in their attitudes does more for me than publicity, commented Ms. Glossenger. 128 Faculty, staff Jack Ashba please call the office NHHS Custodians— Front Row: Richard Lake, Jack Ashba, Ed Vogelwede.

Running to class as the bell rang, goofing off in class, and helping to decorate your club ' s float for the Homecoming parade are the times we will remember long past graduation and summer vacation. classes clubs Classes and clubs 131 Language clubs initiate members Performing a Latin ritual at one of their ceremonies is Marcia Vondran (12). Spanish club started the year out by initiating 22 new members. Incoming members found themselves eating whip- ped cream with their hands tied behind their backs, rolling eggs with their noses and participating in other initiating rites. During the year the club decorated a car for Homecoming, set up a dart throw- ing booth at Sadie Hawkins and sold sta- tionery to raise money. Another fund raising project was selling Mexican wed- ding cakes during the International Fair at the Fort Wayne Coliseum. The wed- ding cakes were made by members of the club. Although the Christmas party was changed to a winter party, members managed to get together for a night of food, white elephant gifts, and breaking the traditional pihata. At the spring banquet held at Don Ped- ro ' s, Seniors Bret Hahn, and Larry Arnett, Juniors Carol Bates, and Mary Police, were all presented with an out- standing member award. Mixers in September started the year off right for JCL. Members and initi- ates had a chance to become better acquainted while eating refreshments and learning Latin. At the end of September, Reeses candy sales began. The top three sales men were Bill Willoughby (11) with $140.50; Tim Ulrey (11) with $68.50 and Chris Thompson (9) with $61 .50. Christmas arrived and so did Saturna lia, with t he annual freeing of Saturn Games and munchies were the best par of the festive occasion. February and March were the months set aside to prepare for the annual JCL convention at Ball State University, on April 7 and 8. Tim Ulrey (11) won first place in the third year Roman history; and the scrapbook received a second place. There were also six students named to Who ' s Who In Foreign Lan- guage. They are: Cathy Hall; Kim Royal, Melodie Dyson, Phil Police, Becky Aurand, and Nancy Chapman. Acting is one way of learning and these students really enjoy it. Having fun in class is Cathy Hall (9), and Cathy Dize(10). 132 Language clubs Spanish club — Front Row: Trudy Police, Wendy Marks, Shari Hoover, Jim Arnert, Mary Police (Vice President), Gma Campoy.

Since the club members have been made up of the class there is a lot that gets done. French club members have been to several plays and concerts, they als o have performed several plays and puppet shows themselves. This year French club officers were: President Becky Aurand, Vice Presi- dent Carol Russell, Treasurer Larry Neher, Secretary Debbie Reed. Of course the highlight for the Ger- man members is the trip to Franken- muth. It is a little German town in Michigan that the German class has been visiting every year. The town is very traditional and very pretty, stated Mr. Rohmoser. I hope lots of people go there, it is really nice. I think that is why Mr. Goeglein lets us go there. Lisa Wolf has the honor of receiving the Sharon Stemmler Memorial Award for the outstanding German student. German club officers were: Presi- dent Lisa Wolf, Vice President Emily Erbelding, Ann Keck Treasurer, Secre- tary Pat Spunger.

Students have thought math is or has been one of the hardest, and least fun classes. But lately? Calculus teacher, Mr. Claron Hanefeld reports his class size was much larger than last year. He ' s not the only teacher, many others noted their class sizes to be growing. There has been a course at Taylor Uni- versity offered to any math student with algebra and interest in computer pro- gramming. Mr. Parman is in charge of this and the only problem seems to be getting to him early enough to register. He is limited on the number of people he may register for the course. The math department also bids fare- well to Mr. Robert Wolf, who has taught here at New Haven for the last 24 years. Going over pages before class discussion is math teacher, Mr. William Parman. Students still manage to have a time during math class. 136 Math Time out from class to study for an upcoming test is appreciated by the stu- dents. Math 137 Microscope labs were all part of class, and fun too for Greg Davis (10), and ToddMarkley(9). 38 Science Just the right amount is important to Tom Nichter (12), as he finishes his lab assignment. Smiling makes the day go faster for Lisa Wolf ( 1 1 ), as she takes notes. Students enjoy new equipment Science isn ' t always easy, but for most, science is fun. But what most stu- dents don ' t realize, regardless to which science class you take, a lot of work is involved. There are the more difficult classes; physics, chemistry, and other advanced academic classes for the college bound student. In biology and life science there is always an insect or a leaf collection, dis- One of the labs Biology students perform is the dissection of the frog. sections or term papers to complete to keep you busy. If you are interested in plants or ani- mals you may find yourself in botany or zoology class studying the parts of a plant or animal. The new school offered new tables to the science rooms, among other new equipment, which both teachers and stu- dents enjoyed and felt the new school had a lot more to offer. Science 139 English still quite the same Whether it was jumping out ot your seat yelling, Mr. Chairman, writing the third copy for your term paper, finding prepositional phrases, or giving your final speech we all remember something about English. This year, the English classes were pretty much the same as all the other years. Since English classes don ' t usu- ally go on field trips, there are other ways to break up the monotony. An example of this is Mrs. Holt ' s Freshman Academic Grammar classes. The students give speeches at the end of the semester and if that doesn ' t liven things up, I just ham it up or act like a nut, said Mrs. June Holt. Freshman Denny Knepp thinks the most interesting and or unusual part about English was definitely Mrs. Holt. Mr. Huff, English Department Head, said that most things were going well this year; but most of his time was spent on planning for next year. Mrs. Avery came in the middle of the year to replace Mrs. Carol Ryan. The Vision will be taken over by Mrs. Avery; it will not, however, be printed until the fall of 1978, because of the lack of materi- als. The English Department will be losing a great teacher . . . Mr. Francis May will be retiring at the end of the 1977-78 school year. He taught at New Haven High for twenty-four years. Discussing a problem with Mr. May about Honors Grammar is Senior Bettie Dohm.

Taking advantage of the peaceful com- forts of the library is Greg Davis (10). 1 Relaxing a moment during his prepara tion period, Mr. Stebing looks at the paper. 142 IMC, TV Production IMC, TV studio better equipped Library passes, color TV cameras, and production equipment along with an assortment of other new items were all new to the students of New Haven High School. The library had several new items and procedures this year. One was the media pass. This enabled students to go to the library from their study hall without hav- ing to get a pass from their teacher. Another new item was to prevent many new books from leaving the library with- out being checked out. A paper stick-on was placed inside each book and maga- zine. An alarm was set off if the item was taken through the turnstyle. A darkroom was also added to the library, along with many new books, fur- nishings, and quite a bit more room. Within the IMC there was a TV Produc- tion class. This enabled students to learn about making television shows and mov- ies. It taught students how to use cam- eras, camera equipment, and how to act, produce, and develop skits and shows. There was $50,000 worth of new equipment. It ' s a real popular class, replied Mr. Huml, I always get too many people signed up each semester. The reaction of students in TV Produc- tion class was good. The students felt the class has much to offer, with knowledge as well as fun. On May 6, S. E. Hinton was the main speaker for the annual Indiana Students Media Association conference hosted here. Hinton has written award winning books, The Outsiders and That was Then, This is Now. ISMA members also attended sessions on photography, advertising, and newspaper. m%. 4 ' - W !?■- ■! iff Students find comfort as well as conven lence in the media center.

IMC, TV Production 143 Students in Art designed robots out of scrap boxes, metal, etc. This is |ust one of the many finished products. Many classes practice skills Art classes were for anyone with imagi- nation and interest in the subject. There were six different courses to take; Art I II, Ceramics, Jewelry, Print- making, and Sculpture. Mr. Tarr ' s jewelry class made their ini- tials this year out of copper. These were made into several different shapes. Sculpture class made a shape of their face out of clay. Another project was several students making a bitique, which is a cloth square with a picture dyed on each. This was sewn into a 10 ' x14 ' ban- ner. Most people probably don ' t realize that Home-Ec is an art, too. It takes special skills learned as easily as if it were acquired. There ' s more to cooking or sewing than just opening a can, or threading a needle. Students also learned how to find the best buys, or picked up a few tips on how to make their clothes fit better. Needlecraft, Child Care, Family Life, Home Nursing, and Interior Design are all Home-Ec classes, too, in which male and female alike could get a lot of useful information for their future. Working on a project for Sewing is Chris Glaze (11). Concentrating on sewing her garment for her Home-Ec class is Lori Hart(1 1). 144 Home Ec Art The Sculpture class students each made a cloth square resembling hope. These were sewn together to make a reversible banner. Melanie Krauter (10) has her share of the mess as she attempts to make a bev- erage in Foods class. Home Ec Art 145 Social Studies classes active History covers everything from pio- neer days to Nixon days; Government covers everything History doesn ' t and then some. It won ' t be long before text books cover coal shortages, the dispute over the Panama canal, and other cur- rent events. Psychology covers the make-up of peo- ple ' s minds, and people ' s reactions to different situations. Sociology covers the social side of people. But what the books won ' t cover is what goes on in classes and all the work behind it. Like Sociology classes are required to visit a place that does a social service for people. Mr. Lamb ' s History class had a trial, the Puritans vs. Great Britain. Many stu- dents enjoyed this and found it an easy way to learn. Mr. Weick ' s Economics class went on a field trip to the Dana Corporation as part of their studies. But no matter what subject, Social Studies is an ever-growing field of past and present knowledge. Anne Davis (11) and Julie Christianer (11) study for their History exam together. 146 History, Gov ' t History, Gov ' t. 147 WMEE disc jockeys passed out bumper stickers at an assembly they sponsored. Field trips provide fun for students They ' re the best thing that happens in a school day, commented Tricia Cliche. Field trips and assemblies have always been looked forward to by the stu- dents and considered a real blessing. WMEE brought a lady out to NHHS to speak on the con of advertising. At the end of the assemblies WMEE passed out their famed bumper and rumper stick- ers. Mel Johnson came to the school to speak on the Ups and Downs of Teen- age Life . Mr. Johnson felt that students here received him well and was the best audience he had in about the last 500 lectures. Many classes had field trips, or at least planned. But because of the energy cri- sis, teachers were asked not to go. Ger- man class had their annual trip to Frank- enmuth. Field trips and assemblies rescued stu- dents from the monotony of classes and provided fun. German Club students enjoy looking over Christmas decorations during their annual trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan. 148 Field trips, assemblies Pep Club provided a skit for the pep rally before a game against Harding.

Field trips, assemblies 1 49 Industrial Arts gains popularity Industrial Art classes operated with new equipment this year, as were other classes. But times were hard for a while, with the coal shortage, the use of electri- cal equipment was cut down. Mr. Tom Stuckey said, The energy crisis hurt the nine week classes more than the semes- ter and year long classes. But the crisis didn ' t affect every class that way. Mr. George Turner, metals teacher said, The crisis didn ' t hurt us that much, we just worked on what we could on a day to day basis. We also had lectures when we weren ' t working. But now that all is back to normal, reactions to the new school are pretty good. Mr. Gerald Isch, woodshop teacher, said, I like the new school. It doesn ' t have as much storage space as the old school, but I do have the biggest Industrial Arts room. Mr. Phil Ritchie, auto mechanics teacher said, The shop is smaller than the one at the old school, but this one is easier to clean up. Class enrollment is also up this year. Mr. Isch said my class size was the same but enrollment was up, explaining that there are more classes than last year. Enrollment didn ' t include any girls this year, said Isch, but maybe next year.

Students use the IMC to escape the bore- dom of study halls and meet friends. 1 52 Study hall, school service Copying her new schedule during study hall is Dawn Werling, (10). Service teaches responsibility School Service allows students to learn responsibility and earn a half credit a semester. Besides, it gets you out of study hall, said Senior Leslie Weikel, who has done school service for four years. To be in school service you just find a teacher who needs help, or maybe work in the library. But for those students who need a study hall, one is available. Instead of being in a regular class room, study hall is now in the auditeria. Because of the size of the auditeria and the study halls, the room is divided into two parts, each with their own supervisor. Study hall is alright, commented one student, you can day dream, sleep, do nothing or do your homework. School Service has been a part of Leslie Weikel ' s high school years since she was a freshman. Study hall, school service Special times you ' ll never forget The bands combined and played together at the dedication ot the new school. There ' s a special feeling among band members and part of the reason is that they spend so much time together. In the summer they prac- ticed two nights a week and spent a few Saturdays marching in parades. Highlights and drum majors attended camps and brought back many awards to show for their hard work and were also enthusiastic about new ideas for the coming year. The band and Highlights also spent the last week in August at a camp in South Milford working on their contest show. Band camp was a lot of hard work from the time you heard reveille at 5:00 in the morning until the time your head hit the pillow as you fell asleep from exhaustion; but it was a good experience because you learned so much. The band learned five pieces of difficult music and most of their drill formations and dance steps; and the Highlights learned five long, diffi- cult, and tiring routines plus how to discipline themselves. They stretched out and kicked twice a day. All of that takes so much mentally and physically because you have a lot of new ideas to adjust to in a short time. It helps you learn how to handle responsibility and do your part to make everything run smoothly. So many valuable things are learned — how to get along with people and work together toward a goal — how to accept responsibility and do your part — and how to have fun — to enjoy life. You can mix pleasure and work and have a terrific time. On contest day as you ' re perform- ing — it gives you a real sense of doing something — and doing it well. You ' ve accomplished more than people can see — more than just the things they can see and hear — like the music and dance steps and routines. You ' ve learned responsibility and how to care enough about something to give it just about everything you ' ve got. You ' ve had so many good times — fun times — times you thought your stomach would burst if you laughed anymore. You were a part of some- thing special — people needed you and you needed them and it was a feeling you ' ll never forget. Band ' March of the Centurions ' was the opening song for the NISBOVA Marching Contest Show. The band and Highlights performed the contest routines at half- time of football games. For the Homecoming parade and pep rally — both on Thursday evening — the band wore their dress uniforms and added color to the gym as did the purple and gold BULLDOG VICTORY banner. For the football halftime show planned by the seniors, the band played ' Blue Suede Shoes. ' During their solo bass players rolled up their collars and put sunglasses on to imitate Elvis Presley. The trumpet section, an important and essential pa:t of the band, especially dur ing marching season, included Ron Forks who will be the drum major for the 1978-79 school year. Band 155 The jazz group, formed this year and composed of 12 Highlights, show good posture as they uniformly stride off the basketball floor after a halftime perform- ance. The Highlights performed this basketball halftime show entrance to ' Zip-ee dee- doo-dah ' and to the delight of everyone, all performers popped their balloons at the right time. Highlights have a : difficult and tiT rebuilding year The Highlights didn ' t have an advi- sor this year and so the corp — not just the captains — had a lot more respon- sibility. In order for everything to be run smoothly, the corp had to help the captains and do as they said even though at times it would have been easier to not listen and do whatever they felt like. The year was not all a picture of roses — there were prob- lems and lots of them, but everything usually worked out in the end. It was a growing year and a rebuilding year. Close to half of the corp was new girls. Technique, style, coordination, and discipline all come with practice and practice takes time. There was more to pom-pons than just practicing and problems. Some- times practices seemed to be more of a gab session than a practice. Every- one needed some time to relax and have fun and even though maybe practice was needed badly, it wasn ' t a life or death matter and being able to enjoy yourself was more important. Close to performance times, nerves became frazzled because much time went into the planning and practicing of the performances. Captains had to plan entrances and exits and routines and plan it accordingly to how many people were going to perform. It wasn ' t unusual for a last-minute change because someone got sick and wasn ' t able to perform. Besides plan- ning for the Highlights, the jazz group took up a lot of time too. Every Tuesday at practice, ribbons were handed out for marching, show- manship, execution of routines, kick- ing, spirit and attitude, and winner of the drill down. The ribbons kind of gave the girls an incentive to work harder because at the end of the year the girl with the most ribbons in each category received a trophy. 156 Band Without the percussion section, the band would have a difficult time keeping rhythm. They play during pep session. The symphonic band, composed of sen- iors, ]uniors, and a few sophomores, play their music with a special touch for the Spring Concert. The senior members received long-stemmed roses and bou- tonnieres in remembrance of their years in band. The sophomore band follows their music and director Mr. Lininger as they per- form at the Spring Concert. Ira o. mim vt j.... imHMI Band 157 All together now . . . The trumpet sec- tion in the freshman band realizes how important it is to work and play together. A band is like a machine and in order for it to function, all the sections must do their part properly. Anne Samra (11), Dave Pickett (12), and Robin Burgette (12) practice for the spring concert. Zoncert season a change from marching Concert season is usually a change from marching season because some- how you lose the closeness you once had — it ' s different because every- thing is on a more serious note plus the Highlights no longer practice with the band. Most of the time everyone just concentrates on music such as: scales, arpeggios, and songs for con- certs and basketball games and pep sessions. There were three different bands for concert season and they all had class at a different time. The freshman band had class during first period and the concert band, composed mostly of sophomores, had class during fourth period. The symphonic band, com- posed mostly of juniors and seniors, had class during third period. Before concerts the bands had to lug all their instruments down to the stage to practice. First and second lunch periods got the privilege of hearing the concert band practice. Concert season is really a time to concentrate on improving your musi- cal skills and look forward to the com- ing year. 158 Band Everyone must know their part and be able to concentrate. Jerry Milner (12), trombone, Mike Crisler (11) tenor sax, and Mark Jarvis( 12) tenor sax make it all look so easy. Michele Seals (11), Anne Keck (11), and Jeff Hubbart (12), all part of the wood- wind section, try to blend their notes together.

Christmas Concert held in January The Concert Choir, composed mostly of juniors and seniors per- formed m-iny times throughout the year as did the Mixed Chorus. At the dedication of the new school, the Concert Choir sang Alleluia . It took many hours of practice to perfect it. After being delayed several times, the Christmas Concert was finally held in January. Concert Choir and Swing Choir sang for the students at Sunny- mede Elementary School during the Holiday season. The Concert Choir along with the Swing Choir was supposed to perform at the Fort Wayne Chamber of Com- merce for the Fort Wayne Women ' s Club but the show was cancelled because of snow. Concert Choir and Mixed Chorus both performed at the Spring Concert. Concert Choir sang two medleys at graduation: To Sir With Love and Mahogany ; and You ' ve Got A Friend and Bridge Over Troubled Water . Swing Choir performed mostly dur- ing the Christmas season at various places such as: The Fort Wayne Coun- try Club, The Marriot, and The Aboite House. They also performed at the Spring Concert and Happening ' 78. Practices were held in the morning before school. This group was com- posed of seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores. 160 Choir Concert choir patiently awaits their intro duction as Mr. Henke captivates the audience during the Spring Concert.

A small percentage of the time, a group performs and the rest of their time is spent practicing and learning. Choir is no exception. Even though many probably assume choir teaches a student musical skills — it offers much more. Because of the size of these organizations, Concert Choir, Mixed Chorus, and Swing Choir, you must learn how to get along with people. Each member must do his or her part to the best of his ability to make everything ' click ' so a person is taught responsibil- ity. Many songs are a challenge and at times it might be easier to just give up but being in a group such as choir the motto try, try, again still lives on. Being in choir requires a lot of time and effort, but this is also combined with fun times, and what would good times be without friends. Being in choir helps you to meet many people. Since the choir was close this year as always, it was no surprise that during the week of gradua- tion and on graduation night, tears flowed freely. The day before graduation the senior girls in Concert Choir were given long- stemmed red roses usually given at the Spring Concert. Many hugs and I ' ll miss you ' s were exchanged. Choir was a learning and growing experience for all who let it be. Advice is a common thing given to high school students.

Don ' t let any one try to tell you that being on the year- book staff is easy too. Fun, oh yes, but easy no. The yearbook staff was plagued with many problems. The staff had inexperi- enced people, as they do every year. But thanks to the new adviser, Mr. John Lar- sen, and patient editors Peggy Johnson, and Michele Simon the staff survived. Time out was taken at the beginning of the year for a picnic so members could get to know each other over supper and football. At the end of the year the news- paper and yearbook staffs got together for a night of good food and fun. Going over the ladder are Leslie Weikel (12) and Amy Payne(ll).

If you take a closer look, you ' ll find that isn ' t true. Publishing a newspaper that keeps students informed as well as holds their interest, is a challenging opportunity. Use of many skills is required, including newswriting, layout and design, writing headlines and a general willingness to any job that comes along. This year the newspaper had added problems as there was a new building to work in, new equipment to get used to and an almost completely inexperienced Staff. Mr. John Larsen, adviser, who was new to New Haven this year, helped the staff immensely with new techniques and design ideas, and helped them pull through the year. A new typesetter that malfunctioned frequently, too many snow days and a coal shortage made it almost impossible to publish an issue during the winter, as for a while the energy cutbacks made it hard to use equipment as much as was needed. In spite of all the obstacles that had to be overcome, this year the newspaper staff accomplished quite a bit. At Jour- nalism Day at Ball State University in May, the Herald staff was awarded a Cer- tificate of Merit for Outstanding Achieve- ment in Scholastic Journalism, and 3rd place in the state in News Magazine cate- gory for their efforts. This was the first time that the Herald was awarded this high honor. Newspaper is not just made up of report- ers and photographers as many might think.

The officers were about the only ones doing anything. The newly formed Boys Boosters did a much better job. This year there were more boys involved in cheering than ever before. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes sold flowers for Mothers ' Day and sponsored various activities through- out the year. Jay Leonard, who portrayed Vic the Bulldog, was seen on many occasions at the games screaming, and cheering on the team. Jay enjoyed being Vic and many people found he was the key to their spirit.

Mrs. Anita Osborn replaced former sponsor Mr. Francis May. Membership procedures also changed this year. The Solid Gold Cadillac, a comedy in three acts, was presented during the first week in November. The first night ' s per- formance was a first for New Haven High School because of the theatre dinner for- mat. The plot of the three-act play involved a little old lady played by Laura Coffman, club President, who makes it big in the business world. The play ran three nights and was pronounced a great success. Because of schedule conflicts, only one of the three-act plays was per- formed. Bachelor of the Year was videotaped and made available for classes to watch. v Rehearsing for the play are Doug King (10), Laura Coff- man (11), and Teresa Snyder (10). Masque Gavel 17 1 ' Spring fling ' highlight of SC year Student Congress President, Steve Cheviron said he tried to make it work more , referring to Student Congress activities and projects. Student Congress, along with the year- book staff, began the year with a Signa- ture Dance that was a big success. The dance was planned so that students could pick up their yearbooks, sign each others, and dance. Homecoming and the Dedication of the new school were organized by Stu- dent Congress. Homecoming happened differently this time around, with the game on Friday night and the dance on Saturday night; previously, game and dance had been on the same night. One of the most successful events of the year was the Christmas Project. Each of the four classes was to try and collect the most food, clothing and or money for needy families. The game plan changed, however, and it became a competition between first period classes. The amount of food and money collected this year more than doubled what was donated the previous year. Student Congress had disappoint- ments along with everyone else during the energy shortage. We had the whole dance planned, the band hired and everything, exclaimed Student Con- gress President Steve Cheviron, and then it got canceled. When asked if he thought the students in Congress were prevented from doing any projects because of Student Con- gress advisors, Steve said he didn ' t think so. This year we had more advisors than before, but the kids did most of the work. Student Congress finished the year with the Spring Fling, in the last week of school. It gave students ' lunch period an extra 25 minutes, and Stu- dents were permitted to leave the build- ing to eat lunch on the school grounds, and engage in organized activities such as softball games, frisbee throw, tennis, basketball, or just ' to soak ' up the sun. The day turned out warm and things ran smoothly. The first Signature Dance was a great success thanks to John Printzos who provided his stereo and services.

Mr. Dennis Johnson takes his Busi- ness Law classes to see a misdemeanor trial. The students really enjoy this and it gives them a chance to see what a real trial is like. Consumer Education, taught by Mr. Stephan, covered everything from how to prepare a budget to taste testing pop. The classes also went on field trips to Canterbury Green as part of a study on the expense of living on your own. Typing classes were full again as stu- dents performed the ritual of timed writ- ings and daily assignments. Office Education Association (OEA), is for any business student who has a voca- tional goal. The club is designed to help build a better vocational understanding through involvement in competition. Any OEA member may compete. I encourage them to go, said Mrs. Caro- lyn Glossenger, club supervisor, it ' s a great learning experience. Cathy Wass (12), placed third in state and first in regional and eighth in national competition. Sherry Goings (12), and Carol Huml (11), went to regional. Laughing and having a good time makes class more fun. 1 74 Business OEA members — Front Row: Kathy Wass, Mrs. Glossenger, Betlie Dohm.

The ping-pang of ping-pong was a famil- iar sound for gym students during the energy crisis. Coal, Title IX cause PE changes Gym classes took on a new look this year with the introduction of Title IX. Title IX stated, No person shall on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any education pro- gram or activity receiving federal finan- cial assistance. What this means is that gym classes became coed in some things; for instance this years curriculum included volleyball, square dancing, war ball and other activities. Sam May, physical edu- cation teacher, mentioned that the only problem the new rule caused was that it threw more people in one class and at times made things difficult to find some- thing for everyone to do. The energy crisis played a big part in gym classes just as it did in every other. For a short time during the coal strike, all water heaters had to be turned off. Tak- ing showers was almost impossible, unless a student took a cold shower. Along with all the other things a new gym added to the time of day when stu- dents could get exercise and have a little fun away from the daily grind of classes. While others were playing ping-pong there were some playing basketball. 1 76 Physical Education On nice days students could be seen out side for gym class.

and talk in the halls. ' Time to make the change ' It wasn ' t easy to suddenly go to a different school; a lot of good memories were made in the building on Prospect Avenue, but we did what we could to make the move better. A lot of us missed the old school, a lot of us were glad to be in a new school, but there was one thing we all realized — it was time to make the change. 196 Closing After an important volleyball match vic- tory, Sally Haus (11) gets a big hug from her mom. Taking time to relax before a basketball game are Clandis Baker (12), Cathy Sic kafoose (11), and Gwyn Heine ( 1 2). The library in the new school was larger and better equipped than the old one. Julie Lothamer (9) and Kelly Smith (9) use the facilities. With all the tests and finals to take, the last week of school is sometimes tough for Seniors. Doing last minute work on the last day of school is Lori Heiser(12). Closing 197 An important accomplishment It wasn ' t easy to suddenly go to a different school. Alot of good memories were made in the building on Prospect Avenue, but, we did what we could to make the move bet- ter. Alot of us missed the old school, alot of us were glad to be in a new school, but there was one thing we all realized it was time to make the change. After tassles were turned and goodbyes were said, we realized the year might not have been the best, but we did have one important accomplishment. We colored in New Haven High School with one of the most impor- tant things we had to offer ans that was simply ourselves. On Halloween Senior Dress- Up Day, Joan Truznka (12) dressed up as Raggedy Ann. As usual Mr. Stephen makes his movie. Here he portrays the great Rocky. 198 Closing After receiving their diplomas, Gwyn Heine and Lori Heiser look at them with pride and relief. Pat Sprunger (10) and Don Saalfrank (10) wear hats off to show their spirit week during Homecoming. L , Finals coming up any spare time left in the day you |ust might find yourself stud- ying anywhere. Carol Bates (1 1) and friends study in the hall. After being dunked at Sadie Hawkins Fair, Mr. Hans smiles and shows what a good sport he is. Closing 199 Acknowledge- ments When we look back on producing this book we will remember a lot of things like doo-dah, you ' re gonna get us killed, Mr. Larsen stealing pencils, and sports people always having to go to the gym for no apparent reason. There are a lot of people to thank — each of the staff members who did their fair share. All their names are listed below — but everyone knows who did what; those people who worked hard are the ones that really count. The purpose of this book is for everyone to remember their high school years — it ' s no t self-gratifica- tion for the ones that produced it. There are a lot of people to thank. We would like to thank these people for their help — Col. Savedge, Mr. Grady Locklear, Miss Nancy Patterson for their help at Journalism Workshop and Mrs. Parrish for making us inter- ested in producing a yearbook. When producing this yearbook, one of our foremost thoughts was that everyone would like it. We feel we and the staff did the best we could and that is what really matters.
