Looking for the routines of life Routine life exists with it. We are all comforted in it. As each person dreams his dreams, sets his goals, and designs his life, he looks for something consistent in which to take refuge. Each person looks for something which can be his Haven. Despite the stark institutional outside look of New Haven High School, the inside holds many comforts and securities for its students. Here students can work into a daily routine, find friends with common interests, delve into academic or vocational varied activities. There are times of excitement in all seasons. In the fall the Homecoming victory over Woodlan, 14-0, coupled with another NEIAC championship and a play off appearance for a third straight year provided school and community interest. In addition the town of New Haven decided to build its pride in a new program called Up with New Haven which is designed to promote community identity and business growth. New Haven had a new sense of ident ity. As the school year rolled on, so did the development of the students who frequented the halls. The good feelings promoted by fighting the flood in ' 82 were carried over into the benevolent causes of the Can Drive in December and the Red Cross Blood Drive in April. WATCHISG A gymnastics meet, a crowd of New Haven fans shows their support for the gymnasts. C pening — 3

HOMECOMING is a big event at New Haven as Varsity Football players wave out to the crowd during the parade before the Woodlan Unusual weather doesn ' t dampen us When there was a cause, the students rallied in support. The winter season, while not filled with many snow days as had been the situation the past few years, brought much needed change to the routine. It seemed so much easier to be in school when the chill factor was — 30° outside. But no snow days came until everyone had given up hope for an unscheduled vacation March 21, the first day of spring, brought the first winter storm which followed record setting temperatures in the 70 ' s in February. While the weatherman was having trouble making up his mind, the basketball team rolled to a conference championship in basketball as our haven was unaffected by external turmoil. Joey Graham and Tom Byrd shared the television spotlight for their outstanding play with each being named Player of the Week by Channel 21. As winter changed to spring the haven took on a new look. Gone were the winter woolies as spring fashions were seen in the halls. Spring was officially initiated with the return of the traditional Spring Fling. The school year wound down quickly with the busy time of ban- quets and awards. David Police and Kathy Krueckeberg left their marks finishing number one and number two in their class, respective- ly. It had been a good haven for their academic work. In looking back at the year it was one of notable accomplishment for many and some accomplishment for all, as each was glad for A haven all its own. DURING THE long day at school, senior Jody Kintz takes a short break in the office waiting to get in to discuss an absence problem with Mr. Jones. Opening — 5
