BJCqmujl The 18th edition of Prairie Life is gratefully dedicated to Mr. Blaine Gamble. Over the years, Mr. Gamble has done so much for our school. He has coached boys ’ cross country and track and girls’ basketball. He has always been the newspa- per advisor and also sponsored the Prairie Life Annual, the Quiz Bowl Team, and the New Prairie Marching Cougar- ettes. All this was accomplished by one man, Mr. Gamble. In addition, he can faithfully be seen at countless sporting events with camera and pencil in hand to write up a story for the La Porte Herald Argus. For his devotion to New Prairie we commemorate Mr. Gamble. His first interest has always been of the student. He has proved this both in and out of the classroom. He has been the main push for many of the organizations existing here today. To you, Mr. Gamble, we take off our Notre Dame hats.

Each student had a favorite teacher who seemed to stand out from the others in being able to handle individual problems. As we reflect on the past year, one overlooked fact seems to come to mind. We had a faculty who did care and did want every one of us to attain our highest level of achievement. 1r.

IS Staff Mr. Steve Hire, custodian. pjnCjUuOjC We use English everyday, and the way in which we use it says something about us. The truly so- phisticated individual is the one who uses grammar logically and continually works to improve his vocabulary. These skills are put to practical use when writing speeches, essays, and research pa- pers. Students also acquire a broad background in literature. They study writing forms from essays to poems to short stories and styles from William Shakespeare to Mark Twain to Ralph Waldo Em- erson. The language department also includes classes in French and Spanish. With increasing immi- gration, world travel, and foreign relations, having knowledge and understanding of these languages and cultures becomes imperative. Students use maps, view film- strips, and research and write re- ports on these various countries to gain an insight into the lifestyles of these different speaking peo- ples.

Students learned to write creative feature stories in addition to basic news articles. Be- sides writing, students also designed puzzles and lay- outs, worked on artwork and cartoons, and typed. Each reporter learned to work under pressure to meet the deadlines. Sponsor Mr. Blaine Gamble and layout editor Gwen Cook glue the layouts for the newspaper. Staff members write the feature articles for this month's newspaper. The Science department is a pot of ever- increasing knowledge. As students are taught the basics of chemistry, physics, biology, and earth science, visualizing how the world works becomes easier. Each class helps the students to grasp the basic principles that are prerequisite for higher learning. Every one busy as usual in chemistry class. 22 Sciencc a Jw odUuuL. Mathmatics is the exploration of the world of num- bers and figures. It involves a constant flow of qucsi- tons — How many? How large? how fast? what are the chances? Sometimes math seems to have a bit of magic after hours of struggling, the numbers seem to work at our command, and the answer mysteriously appears on our paper. Whatever the course. New Prairie students were able to grasp a better understanding of numbers. Students learn the skills of the future in computer program- ming. ornjL. tcnr OTTuxio_ Students can economize by learning to sew their own clothing.

Classes offered include child care, child development, clothing, foods, and family and singles living. The courses provide a very real environ- ment to familiarize students with the changes that will be taking place in ' their lives. Weights arc fun . . . even for the girls. Mrs. Kathy Nova and Mr. Michial Jennings are in full command of the physical education department. P.E. classes give the students a break from their sometimes strenuous academic schedule. The popular activities includ- ed basketball, volleyball, swimming, and kickball. Participating teaches team work, coordination, and sports- manship. Health and lifesaving are among the course of physical education. Mr. Doug Snyder is in charge of teaching students the importance of keeping their bodies in better physical shape.

New Prairie fans got their ini- tial clue as to what they could expect from their new band direc- tor, Mr. Mark Belsaas, when they saw them perform at the first football game. He put marching back into the program. Perform- ing intricate drill patterns to rous- ing marches, the band made the halftime breaks something worth remembering. The bands made the move to the concert stage with little diffi- culty. Their repertoire delighted music-lovers and the wide variety of selections enabled the budding musicians to demonstrate their skills.

New word processing machines and computers have replaced traditional typewriters as New Prairie stu- dents strive to keep abreast of the ever-changing of- fice scene. Basic fundamentals are not overlooked as budding office-workers prepare for their wide range of careers. Efficiency was the key word as our instructors sought to prepare us for a world of reality. Mrs. Barb Sandberg Sooafi StuudLuua_ Mr. George Olson always intellectually stimulates his students. Econ classes always seem so enthused. Ma n is by nature a gregarious being. With this in mind, the Social Studies department sought to in- form students as to their role in a complex society. By studying the past in United States and world history, we learn to envision the problems of the future. Government class reminds us of our respon- sibilities as citizens and that rights must be earned. Economics stress the importance of properly dis- pensing our net income as well as being able to identify trends in economic patterns. Psychology and sociology classes help students learn how to relate knowledge of behavior to their everyday lives. Mrs. Sandberg psyches out her class. Social Studies 31 Art class listens intently to Mrs. Higgins. The Art Club celebrated the year with the traditional trip to the Chicago Art Museum. The trip let members study the styles of well-known artists and view a wide variety of exhibits. The mon- ey for the trip was raised from selling tree ornaments at Christ- mas time. 32 Art mcLux lcxi). ClrttXL. A large segment of our economy is represented by those workers who possess skills in the industrial arts. This department offers a wide variety of pro- grams designed to prepare students for those jobs. Industrial arts students can design houses, repair small engines, weld, operate lathes, and create use- ful items from wood or metal. Individual projects are designed to challenge the creativity and initiative of each student. Be sure you use all the parts. The “Bear in his den. Industrial Arts 33 Mr. Don Thomas As the bumper sticker pro- claimed, Boycott farmers; stop eating. This serves to remind us of our dependence upon the farm- er to produce food and fiber. Our Vocational Agriculture is designed to show New Prairie stu- dents how to keep abreast of mod- ern techniques in farming. Mr. Don Thomas explained that our manner in which this is accom- plished is through leadership and development class. Here they gain experience in public speaking in an attempt to enable them to ex- plain farm problems to an ill-in- formed public. The bulk of the class time is focused on farm production and actual operation of the home farm. The program is designed to be sufficiently versatile to meet the individual needs of every bud- ding farmer. 34 Agriculture Celebrating . . .

These qualities make up the criteria for selecting the National Honor Society's in- ductees. Members must maintain a 3.0 grade point average while displaying qualities in the other three areas. In addition to the club's yearly trip to Chicago, members also rang bells for the Salvation Army and wrapped Christmas gifts for residents of Hamilton Grove. The trip to Chicago included stops at the Museum of Science and In- dustry, the Shedd Aquarium, Lin- coln Park Zoo. Water Tower Place, and dinner and a play at Drury Lane South.

The end result, however, was not as encouraging. In time with more experience, support, and interest, the team may soon pose some serious competition to the larger high schools' teams. The team was sponsored by Mr. Gamble, Mr. Gloss, Mr. Powers, and Mr. Smith. Mr. Gloss quizzes team members during practice.

The payoff for these efforts was an excit- ing trip to Chicago, which consisted of stops at numerous museums and galleries. The extra money was donated to the art department to assist in the purchasing of art suppies. The Art Club's successes were also reflected in the nu- merous National Scholastic awards earned by members. First row Phil Jozwiak. Tina Wolfe. Julie Sims. Wanda Liringhouse, Michelle Gloss.

Judging contests play a vital role in preparing members for situations they will encounter when they manage their own operations. New Prairie has established a proud tradition of being able to produce competitive teams in livestock and poultry. They qualified for state in poultry judging this year and scored well in livestock. The FFA Quiz Bowl team won the district contest this year. This marks the first time New Prairie has ever won this event. A quick glance at the nightly newspaper will readily disclose why it is so important for farmers to keep abreast of current events and informed as to governmental policies. FFA is the training ground for the future. 40 Ss ujjul Cki r From left Shari Retford. Marianne Edwards. Runa Henry. Mrs. Varga. Angela Carter. Carol Overmyer. Pam Even'll, Valerie McGuire.

The Spanish club offers an opportunity to students of Spanish to pursue culturally enriching experiences not avail- able in the regular classroom. Club members participated in an International Festival of Foods sale in October, followed by the sale of umbrellas and comb sets. These efforts helped finance several trips. In December the group traveled to South Bend to enjoy dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Later, students pursued a full day of activities in Chicago, where they enjoyed a bilingual play, viewed Spanish art, learned about the work of consulates and tourist boards, shopped, and finished the day with a delicious meal in a Mexican restaurant.

Prairie Life Celebrates 1986 CELEBRATE That was the theme created by the editors of the 1986 Prairie Life annual. This was worked throughout the book with bal- loon artwork, new creative lay- outs and a rec- ord breaking six color pages. Despite their fun, excitement, and successes, moments of de- spair did fall upon the trusty- staff. Writing copy, typing over and over again due to mis- takes, and racing to meet dead- lines produced strain on the edi- tors and the sponsor. Hopefully, we have been able to produce a yearbook worthy of your expecta- tions and one which will en- h a n c e the memories of ’86 for years to come. Danielle Coffman. Virginia Casper. Lisa McCoy.

They made eyecatching signs, and decorated the halls, lockerrooms, and buses. We will always remem- ber the huge bonfire. It was packed with the action of Fire trucks, class Olympics, and repre- sentation of the football team. Another high point this year was during the basketball season when the cheerleaders and stunt- men performed their own rendi- tion of the “Cougar Shuffle” at the first ever pep session break- fast, which was in honor of the winning basketball team. The spirit portrayed by this year’s en- tire student body will serve as a role model for years to come.

The season was frustrating for the coaches, as their inexperienced g ridden repeatedly gave up the big play at crucial limes. However, they continued to improve as the season progressed and made things interesting for the fans. One bright spot of the year was the return to the conference schedule with the introduction of the tourney format. All-Northern State Conference selections were: Joe Taylor, halfback; Jeff Kring. offensive guard; Doug Curl, linebacker; P.J. Bernth. defensive tackle; Brian Bloode. defensive halfback.

Her fast pace in this meet not only established a new record, it was also a state best time which held up for the entire season. Carol also picked up the other NP gold medal when she dominated the field in the 800. She also broke her own conference record in this event with a time of 2:22.4.

It's not as easy as it looks! Coach Dave Wahburn’s track- sters posted a good 8-2 record in dual meets. However, injuries and lack of depth took their toll and they were forced to relinquish their Northern State Conference crown, settling for second. Joel Taylor won three gold med- als in the conference meet, winning the 100-meter, 200 and 300-meter hurdles. Taylor made it easy for the officials picking places. He was so far ahead of the pack there was no trouble in determining the winner. Sophomore Ryan Pesce was the class of the field in the distance events. He was an easy winner in both the 1600 and 3200 races. Sophomore Brad Trosper cracked an 11-year old record in the pole vault when he cleared 13-4 in his specialty. NP OPP.

New Prairie golfers, under the tutelage of first year Coach, Mark Belsaas, showed consistent improvement as their season progressed. Unfortunately, their opponents also showed similar development and the season results were less than gratifying. Brad Arndt and Tom Miles shot scores of 38 and 39 respectively this year. Since they are underclassmen, Coach Belsaas is confident the team will be able to post some solid scores in the future. New Prairie Opponent LaSalle 199 165 John Glenn 188 169 M.C.

He re- minded us there were countless ways we could be expelled from school and only one by which we could remain — obey his rules. Our sophomore year included the tradition- al magazine sale. We were glad to get that greenic year behind us. We had an ample number of snow days during our junior year. In fact, we had so many the school board adopted a policy to the effect that in the future, all days in excess of five would have to be made up during spring break. The final year was such that it provided many pleasant memories. For starters, the band put marching back into the Marching Cougars routines. Mr. Mathews shared his philosophy as we mastered the fundamentals of English. Mr. ' Powers performed feats of magic on comput- ers as well as cards. Seniors made judicious use of their ten days. We fought it as long as we could, but we all finally succumbed to that annual disease, i%scnioritis. ” v__________________________________________) Robert Ames David Armstrong Cindy Buchrcr 86 Seniors 1986 Scott Carroll Angela Carter Deborah Chlebowski r-------------------------- Class or 1986 Flower ..................White Rose Song......................Good Bye Colors..............Peach and Ivory Motto........While it is well enough to leave footprints on the sands of time, it is even more important to make sure they point in the right direction. _______________________ Douglas Coffinger Timothy Collins Kim Conway Gwendolyn Cook Scnu Seniors Brian Davis John DcGrootc II Donald DeMeyer Tracey DeMeyer New Prairie Calendar ' September — New Prairie hosts 53 teams in it's annual Cross Country Invi- tational.

This is a first! 2:13 is the end of school and the beginning of school spirit. As the class of 1988 ap- proaches the age of being upperclassmen, they seem to be learning the “tools” of the trade. They have al- ready established a stud wall, an “in” group of the elite, and are accumulating money for prom. To raise money the soph- omores participated in the annual magazine sale. They also seem to dominate the sports scene. Next year as the sophomores become “under”-upper-classmen they will achieve the status they think they already de- serve. Sophomores hove spirit!

The transition from junior high school was not an easy one for the class of 1989. Al- though many rules were made to protect the under classmen the difference in the intensity and amount of the homework was what seemed to drag many of them under. The class of 1989, being a spirited bunch, has much to offer New Prairie High School. Aside from being the largest class, they have the ambition to make it as “real” high school students.

Thanks for the winning season. As the school year draws to a close and the final pages are being sent, we would like to take a few lines to thank all of the people without whom this book would not be of the quality that it is. To make this book a little more person- alized we used the script of Carol Drufke. Thank you. Carol, for writing at the last minute and putting up with all of our last second changes. Thanks are in order for Mr. Gamble’s first hour journalism class for the copy they wrote. We’d also like to thank the NPHS staff for being so cooperative. A special thanks goes to Mr. Blaine Gamble. Without his support, patience, understanding, and guts we would never have been able to put out New Prairie’s best yearbook.
