INGRID SCHENSEMA EDITOR ADAM STONE ASSISTING EDITOR VOLUME XXII NILES NORTH HIGH SCHOOL SKOKIE, ILLINOIS OPENI STUDENT LI lCADEMI1 ACTIVITI SPOR FACUL' PEOP Niles North has been in existence for 22 years. Many changes have taken place since the school first opened its doors in 1964. In those 22 years, walls were built around the cafeteria, a student lounge was constructed which was later used as a nursery classroom, and the 300-minute school day was initiated. During the 1985-1986 school year, students saw ad- ditional changes at Niles North. Within the first few days of school, everyone had met or seen the new principal, Mr. Thomas Giles. Dr. Galen Hosier, Niles North Principal for 5 years, had been appointed Assistant Superintendant of District 219 in the spring of 1985. During the opening weeks of school, the students' conversation was filled with news of a possible teacher's union strike. The rumors filled and stories that circu- lated throughout the entire school proved to be true. On the morning of September 30, 1985, students' radios and televisions broadcasted the news of No school for District 219. The strike con- tinued for 8 days, and on the morning of Thursday, October 10, 1985, students re- turned to classes. 4 — Opening With the growth of world technology, students needed specialized training to fit the new world of disks, bytes, and syntax errors. Anticipating this need, the administration purchased 90 Apple lie computers to help prepare the stu- dents. Computer lab room M-122 was remodeled to hold the new terminals, and the old Apple computers were moved to lab room D-211-212. New changes took place outside the school with the refurbishing of some of its exterior. The old green doors of the school were replaced with new brown safety doors that provided extra protec- tion for the students. The doors present- ed a new challenge, as students trying to enter the school building discovered that some doors did not have exterior handles and this limited their entry into the building. The benches were moved away from the east-cafeteria and placed in the courtyards, and the old, dented, and rusted garbage cans were replaced with new, stone garbage cans. The 1985-86 school year brought the stu- dents closer to the spirit of Niles North through new activities. These activities included the first ever Vikingfest and Gong Show , and rescheduled for a sec- ond year, the Basketball Bashes . These activities not only increased the school spirit of the students, but also encour- aged them to become involved and to bring themselves more up-close and per- sonal with Niles North. Basketball bashes, the first Vikingfest, the football sponsored toga party, and the various afterschool clubs and activi- ties were just a few ingredients that made up student life at Niles North. For almost every interest and hobby there was a club or organization to compli- ment it. If a student was concerned about drunk driving there was th wide spread and well known SADD. Students who enjoyed competition and physical activity participated in a variety of sports offered each season, and for those who were interested in more intellectual pursuits there were academic clubs like the Math Club, Computer Club, and the Academic Achievement Bowl. Student life meant student involvement. It gave students opportunities to become more acquainted with the school, with other students and themselves. Student Leadership dealt with the concept of peer counseling and the athletic teams, Vikettes, and cheerleadering squads helped provide and promote the Viking spirit. For entertainment, the student night- life included bashes, toga parties, and the much awaited Prom. Students were also presented with student-run shows where they could enjoy the acting, sing- ing, and dancing abilities of their peers. The various activities gave him a chance to improve his own talents, cooperate and work with others, and have some un doing it. Belinda San Juan 1986 Has Its Own Individuality The 80's were a time of many changes. They had no fixed pattern of student behavior or trends. The scenes of student rebellion and picketing for causes was not seen, as students in the 80's were less radical. In the halls of Niles North sayings that were heard in 1985-86 were: “You look maaavelous ; gross ; or don't have a cow . Bopping to the music at basketball bashes, going to games, or just walking through the halls of Niles North gave students the opportunity to see and com- pare what the rest of the students were wearing. Girls opted for the permed me- dium length hair, sometimes swept up in colorful butterfly clips. Clothes in vogue ranged from bold, colorful plaids to the soft pastels with oversized sweaters and long shirts worn untucked, topped with long strands of faux-pas pearls. Guys started the 1985-86 school year with sleeker styles in their mousse styled hair and classier clothes to keep them in style. The fashionable male at North might be seen in dress pants, rather than the old Levis, and wearing evening dress shoes rather than the worn Nikes. Even the football players jumped into the spotlight of the fads when they sported crew cuts this fall. Fads also included favorite places to hang out. The steps in the Arcade lead down to the deli. In the 80s some student fashions swung to the radical side of punk. Tim Allen shows Heather Rearick his art project.

Fads — 11 With the win of the Chicago Bears in Superbowl XX, a wave of Bear t-shirts were worn by the stu- dent. Jordan Kagan shows his support for the team. Resource centers not only gave students extra-help for their courses, but also a time to socialize. An- drea Brostoff and Barry Halperin discuss a class. 12 — Student Life Variety Gives Students Choice A hangout was a place frequented for entertainment or for socializing. Niles North students were seen in several han- gouts when not studying for that big english or math test. Niles North was located right across the street from Old Orchard Shopping Mall, where students on their free time were seen shopping at the Limited or Marshall Fields. During their lunch time, students who had off campus privileges might have been eat- ing at Boudin's or the Old Orchard Deli. On the warm weekends during spring and fall, to relieve the strain of being in school for 300 minutes a day, juniors and seniors could be spotted spray painting their names on the rocks at Northwes- tern beach. Those freshmen and sophomores who didn't drive or were too embarassed to ask their moms to drive them some- °’7, v tit'“ ,4 lV « w� '- where, used the 208 Golf Road bus to McGreevey's, where dancing to the sound of good music was a popular weekend activity. When the colder months rolled around and the beach was not an option, McDonald's on Dempster was a common meeting place for North students after the big football or basket- ball game. During the school day, the Thespians might be seen hanging out in N143, or the computer students in the computer labs. Certain groups of stu- dents met regularly at the same cafeteria tables every day. Students involved in Niles North publications could be found in A106 or N141. Athletes found an area in the south end of the school to meet, work out, practice or relax. Just about everyone seemed to find a niche some- where where they could hang out at some point during the day. During the warm days of fall and spring, students would sit by the windows to cool off. Brandi Wat- son relaxes between classes. The Dean's office called in many students every day. Jeff Fleischer and Steve Lavigna look over class attendance sheets with Dean Bostic. Hangouts — 13 A Time for Relaxation When the last bell sounded on Fridays, students broke out of their classrooms with energtic fervor to escape school and begin the two-break called the weekend. During the week, Niles North students anticipated the coming weekend by ask- ing Watcha doin' this weekend? North students could have been seen at the McDonald's on Dempster, McGreevy's, at the Old Orchard theatre, or concerts at the Rosemont Horizon. For those who liked to hang out with the college crowd, they spent their warm weekends at Northwestern Beach. Stu- dents were also found back at school on Fridays or Saturdays if there happened to be a game or dance. The chance to be back at school on the weekend caused the students to see that the school was also a place to have fun. These were all popular weekend activities. After all this, if there happened to be time, home- work might have been started on Sun- day night. On the weekends students would hang out in the parking lot of the Dempster McDonald's. The inte- rior provides a comfortable atmosphere for friends to meet. Student shopping on the weekends frequented Old Orchard. The row of shops stand ready for the morning shoppers. 14 — Student Life McGreevy's provided students a chance to dance and mingle on the weekends. The McGreevy's sign tells students that it's a place for entertainment. Many North students gathered at McDonald's after school. The familiar McDonald's sign stands high on Dempster. Weekends — 15 The library was a quiet and peaceful place to do homework. Regina Balyasny concentrates on her english assignment. At the end of the teacher's explanations, classes were given time to start their homework. John Allard takes a break from working out his math problems. 16 — Student Life Effort Pays Off in the End Throughout the years at Niles North, homework had been as common as apple pie. Teachers assigned students to write papers, do reports, or build DNA struc- tures to help students, not burden them. Students were seen doing homework in AAA, the cafeteria, or even during the period that the assignment is due. Stu- dents could be spotted doing homework in resource rooms where there were teachers who were trained to help the student better understand the assign- ment. Other students spent time in the Learning Materials Center, researching papers and reports. After the last bell to end the school day, students went home to start the grueling task of the homework assignment. Some students spent two to three hours on homework each evening. Homework consisted not only of writing papers, but also studying for upcoming tests. The final cram session occured during the last week of the semester when the stu- dent demonstrated what he had learned through many hours of homework on the final exam. Many students chose art classes as an elective. Lainie Feldstein and Mary O'Malley work on their projects in Graphic Design. Lectures were part of daily class routines. Mike Hann and Bruce Goldstone listen to the teacher's explanation before beginning an experiment. Homework No settlement had been reached between the teachers' union and the board despite the six- month-long negotiation. On Monday, September 30th, teachers in the union pick up On Strike signs and hit the picket lines. The strike meant an extra one-week long vacation for all the students in the district. Curious students, however, come back to school and chat with their teachers. All teachers in the union were required to join the picket lines despite the cold and rainy weather during the week of walkout. Mr. Weber, being no exception, arrives in the morning and waits for the latest news on the progress of the negotiation. The sign said it all! Mr. Kokrda, along with Mrs. Barstow, was among the 200 teachers who hit the picket lines. 18 — Student Life ON STRIKE Salary Is Not The Only Issue One might have noticed that the morning rush hours on September 30, 1985 was unusual in some ways. Traffic throughout the streets in Skokie, Morton Grove, Niles, and Glenview was lightened by fewer yellow school buses. On that day, students woke up after 8:00 a.m. without worrying being tardy. It was the first day of a eight-day walkout by the Niles Township teachers' union and education-support personnel. For the third time in the past nine years, the Niles Township Federation of Teachers hit the picket lines. Although the board and the teachers' union had agreed on some issues six months before the first day of school, not one of the six major issues, as named by the teachers, had been settled. Those issues were job security, salary, fair share, supervision, curriculum council, and Educational Issue Committee. Salary increases were not the only major issue. The thing that aggravates us most, Mr. Miya said, is that we get the implication that the board really isn't interested in the kind of contribution we would like to make to the district in school planning and programming. We thought maybe there were some things that we would be changing for good. According to the administrators, however, the strike was neither caused by the board nor the union. There is no winner in the strike. Both parties were not being able to communciate effectively to each other. The decision to call on strike was made by the union, Mr. Giles commented, and I think people have the right to do it, but there was no need for the strike. The eight-day long strike was finally over when arbitrators were brought in between the two parties. - Jamie Kwan The strike issue was a concern to the communities as well as to the state. Chuck Burdeen, a state official from the Illinois Federation of Teachers, expresses his concern on the issue. How the negotiation was doing was the main topic in the discussion. Mr. Herbst. as the president of the teachers' union, tells the latest news from the negotiation. The chilly weather would make anyone who was standing outside to call for a warm cup of coffee. Mr. Grossman, talking to Mr. McCarrell. warms up with coffee. Strike — 19 Tricycles were a part of almost everyone's childhood. But Kim Kochman seems to have outgrown hers. An emcee was needed to relay the details of the day's proceedings.” Mike Schachter provides the details and also a little spontaneighty to add to the fun. juniors took yellow for their team color and later took the title of victors. Linda Scholnik and Alan Hirsch add more points to their team score as they race through the obtacle course. White was the freshman team color. They can still laugh and enjoy themselves even after a fourth place loss. 20 — Student Life A TRADITION BEGINS A New Kind 1985 marked the first year of the much advertised Vikingfest, the battle of the classes. After little time for planning and many postponements, the Student Con- gress brainstorm was finally held. It was a little chaotic, but it was fun. The rules weren't strictly enforced. Everyone cheated, especially the juniors in the tri- cycle race! said senior team member Kim Kochman. As with any first attempt there were some ragged edges and wrinkles that needed to be smoothed out. One problem was with the time allotment which was slightly off as the organizers had judged it would last an hour and a half, but it only lasted a little over half an hour. Despite some difficulties, the first Vik- ingfest proved to be enjoyable for both the spectators and the participants. The Fest included four events in which twenty representatives (ten boys and ten girls) from each of the four classes competed. At the end, the points were tallied and the team with the most of Memory points was declared the best class. The first event was the tricycle relay race, where clumsy students, too big for their bikes raced around the track, each leg of the relay being a quarter of the track. This was followed by the obstacle course, which required that two team members, a boy and a girl, perform absurd tasks that ranged from playing horsey to walking through a wading pool with flippers on. The third event was the eat- ing contest, which was messy and for the on-looker, unappetizing. Finally Viking Fest included a centipede race where the team members, attached at the leg by string, were to run from start to finish together, standing, and attached. At the end of these activities the juniors, with the most points, were proclaimed victors, the sophomores, a close second, followed by the seniors and finally the freshmen. This fun-for-all fest provided enjoyable memories and was the beginning of a new Niles North tradition. Belinda San Juan The sophomore team color was red and it put them into a partying mood. A few feisty team members help a fellow comrad get ready for his event. Although they weren't victors, the seniors carried the true Viking spirit with purple as their team color. Ready and relaxed, they sit back and enjoy themselves while they await the final event, the centipede race. Viking Fest — 21 The 1985 Homecoming Court included; Laura Zar- ansky, Charlie Vuckovich, Gail Jones, Jeff Becker, Queen Julie Goldberg, Doug Baum, Debbie Cohn, Paul Willis, Kim Levin, Jordan Scott, Stacy Gor- don, and Chad Lewis. An authentic Hula Dancer instructed the senior football members in a hula lesson. The winner of 'The Best Hula Dancer , Joey Siedel, finishes his dance with his teacher. Escorts have the responsibility of safely taking their dates to their rightful position on the football field. Presenting his queen , Kim Levin, to the crowd is Jordan Scott. Guest speakers are an annual attraction at all Homecoming Pep Assemblies. Mark Giangreco gives a speech to boost the teams confidence. 22 — Student Life BBQ THE BISON! A Win For The Vikings Even though the burning smoke and the tangy aroma was not present at this bar- becue, the Vikings were still able to roast the Fenton Bisons with the spirit of a true Homecoming. The 1985 Homecom- ing theme was BBQ the Bison. Many months were spent preparing for the week of festivities. However students participation was eliminated when a teachers union strike was called just five days before spirit week was to start. Spir- it week was to be made up of Tacky Day, Rambo Day, Rock Star Day, Hawaiian Day, and the traditional Purple and White Day. School resumed with only Hawaiian and Purple and White Days left. As Friday began the halls were filled with purple and white Viking fans. The windows surrounding the cafeteria were decorated with school colors and em- blems. Viking spirit was felt throughout the school, the culmination being the annual pep assembly. The pep assembly gave students the chance to get together, share their spirit, and have a good time. Some of the high- lights of the 1985 assembly were having The morning of the parade was cold and damp, but even the weather doesn't bother a Viking fan. Happily skipping through the parade, junior Linda Skolnick shows her spirit. Mark Giangreco, Channel 5's sportscast- er, give a pep talk, the football team members hula dancing, and the crown- ing of Julie Goldberg as Homecoming Queen. Saturdays Homecoming game began with high hopes. Although the football team only had a few days to get ready for the game, they didn't upset their Viking fans. The team beat the Fenton Bison 14 to 12. The win added excitement to the cele- bration as students prepared for the evening dance. Then, at 8:00, the Home- coming dance, with the theme, Let's Have A Luau, began. Entering the gym couples were amazed with colorful streamers, ballons, and lei decorations. Music was played by a live band and many couples could sit in the nursery and have punch,ice cream, or cake. When the dance was over many students left and spent the rest of the night at nearby restaurants with their dates and other couples. Homecoming 1985 was a special time for not only those students who organized the different activities, but also for all the students who attend- ed the Homecoming festivities. Ruth Ann Pos Jerri Gapastione A Double Decker Bus made an appearance in the Homecoming Parade. Members of the Junior Class tell onlookers that Niles North is 1 by them. Many of the different clubs and groups participate in the parade festivities. The Varsity Cheerleaders sit on their decorated car. The Varsity Football Team, with very little prac- tice, came through for their fans. As the last min- utes run down on the clock the team starts the celebration of their victory. Homecoming — 23 24 — Student Life Gotcha! is what the photographer said as he snapped this candid. Taking a break from the dancing, these seniors relax and enjoy good con- versation. When too tired to dance the nursery was open for refreshments. Here, Stacey Friedman and Rick Garcia stand in line for a snack. As he opened his mouth and closed his eyes this boy got a big surprise. Marni Merar treats her date like a king. The nursery was the meeting place to drink, cat and talk. Here these couples are seen doing all three. The opening act We Got the Beat set the mood for the lip-synch contest. Meegan Hodges and her back-ups lip-svnehing to a song by the Go Go's. Members of the band Nightranger got together for a picture moments before going on stage. Charlie Vukovich, Paul Willis, and Robert Cadena hope to capture first place.

Jeff Levine and James Rabinowitz working the controls. Bashes were more fun when attended with friends. Jeff Becker with Stacey Gordon and Deborah Cohn. With the start of the cold season and below zero temperatures, Niles North students had the opportunity to attend the basketball games and the basketball bashes that followed. The east cafeteria was transformed from a daytime place of eating, socializing, and finishing last minute homework, to a nightime loca- tion of loud music, school spirit and high energy. The Senior Class Board sched- uled the basketball bashes after three of the home games. The first bash was held in early December and featured Jeff Le- vine and Robert Katz as the DJ's. The most memorable of the three bashes held, would have to be the lip-synch contest. It featured ten acts lip-synching and competing for the thirtee dollar cash prize. The competition was judged on appearance, originality, and most impor- tant, the talent of lip-synching to some new and old songs. The winning act of the 1986 lip-synch contest was the Vil- lage People singing Macho Man . Sharon Segev Basket Kill Bashes — 27 Family, friends, and faculty assembled at the dedication of the Atletic Stadium. The Athletic Stadium was dedicated to Chuck Pos. This sign on top of the scoreboard commemorates the dedication. 28 — Student Life DEDICATION STADIUM GETS NEW NAME This past summer, when Mr. Charles Pos passed away, Niles North lost a cher- ished friend and valuable member of the school community. As sponsor of the concession stand and Chairman of the Niles North Booster Club, Mr. Pos could be seen at nearly every athletic competi- tion. His ready smile and cheerful man- ner welcomed many students, parents, and friends to Niles North. On Septem- ber 21, 1985, the Niles North Athletic stadium was dedicated to Chuck Pos. A sign on top of the scoreboard at the south end of the stadium was dedicated. Shelly Marcus, School Board Representative, Dr. Galen Hosier, Assistant Superinten- dent, Mr. Thomas Giles, Niles North Principal, and Booster Club Chairman Kay Dicker were present for the ceremo- ny. A commemorative plaque was placed outside the concession stand. Dedication — 29 Valentines Day made hearts pound. David Gould presents his sweetheart Erin Jacobs with a giant Valentines card. During a serious side of the show, the subject of teen suicide was presented. Josh Alsburg comforts Nikki Markowitz as she grieves over her boy- friend's death. The chore of house cleaning became much more fun. Sonya Park takes a break and pretends she is singing on a Brodway show. The show ended with the cast singing I Sing the Body Electric . 30 — Student Life VOICES Play Presents Teenage Life December '85 was a month that brought change to Niles North's yearly student production. It was the first time that Niles North presented a show with a cast containing only underclassmen. The show was made up of short skits dealing with the joys and problems in high schools in the 80's. Skits included sub- jects of love; student teacher problems; alcoholism; drugs; and the sensitive sub- ject of teen suicide. The shows' title Voices From the High School reflected it's theme. The production was directed by Mr. Profit and student directors Les- lie Cunnea, Susan Sommers, and Lisa Bany. Instead of having the schools an- nual student production every year Mr. Profit decided to change it to a every other year event and add other enter- taining shows. The show was consid- ered a success. The material in the show contained subjects that both the actors and audience related to and made them more aware of existing problems with their peers. Voices gave freshman and sophomores a chance to preform on stage, use their singing and acting tal- ents, and have fun. Said Mj. Profit. Voices was a fresh new idea that filled the auditorium with three performances and was considered a smash! - Sharon Segev Confesions and explanation of drug use were pre- sented. Andy Lavine explains to Rebekah Friedman that his drug problem is under control. Breaking up was hard to do. Reenie Meshberg ex- plains that its all over between she and Josh Als- berg. Frosh Soph Play — 31 Crew members are an important part of any play. Make-up artist David Gould creates a “master- piece. Elaine Wheeler's deteriorating health became more evident through the play. Elaine tries unsuccess- fully to convince her husband John that she saw a dead man. 32 — Student Life Elaine's friends helped her in her time of need. John (Scott Hirshman), Blanche (Amy Zweig), and Dr. Tracey Lake (Debbie Gordon) console Elaine after she again sees a dead man across the street. Numerous people showed up to see the play Nightwatch. Dan Sigale attends to a customer buying tickets to a Friday night showing. Backstage before the play was a nervous time for everyone. However, Amy Zweig keeps her compo- sure as she prepares for the opening act. SUSPENSE Ending Captures Audience again nothing is found. John and Blanche devise a plan to send Elaine to a mental institution, however, their scheme backfires when Elaine learns of their affair. A confrontation accurs and a disturbed Elaine pulls out a gun. The sound of two gun shots ring out and Elaine appears alone on the stage. In a soliquey Elaine explains to the audience that she concoted the plot to kill her husband and mistress, and placed their bodies in the apartment across the street. Mrs. Wheeler then calls the Lieutenant and tells him her story. However, the Lieutenant thinks that she's crazy and is unconvinced. The surprise ending, as well as the out- standing performances and backstage work, contributed to the play's success. One of the audience members comment- ed that The play kept me on the edge of my seat. Cyndi Agemura On a few chilly days in November, The- atre 100 was filled with anxious audi- ences awaiting the opening Nightwatch. Despite the lack of re- hearsal time, the play was indeed a suc- cess, commented crew member Sarkis Akmakjian. The two hour play opened with a wom- en, Elaine Wheeler (Hope Epstein) spot- ting a dead man across from her apart- ment. Elaine and her husband John (Scott Hirshman) called the police, but to their surprise, the police found nothing. Angry and annoyed, the Lieutenant (Steve Singer) explained that he received many prank calls from hysterical wom- en. It is obvious Mrs. Wheeler's mental health is deteriorating. The plot thickens as the audience learns of John Wheeler's promiscuous activities with Elaine's best friend, Blanche Cooke (Amy Zweig). Meanwhile, there is more evidence of Elaine's instability, as she spots a dead man across from her apartment. The Lieutenant is called to the scene, and Fall Play — 33 Both cast members and director made good use of their limited rehearsal time. Steve Singer turns to receive some constructive criticism from Mr.Prof - Elaine attempted to convince everyone of her in- sanity. Hysterical, Elaine grabs the man whom she identifies as the mysterious dead man across the street. The crazy antics of Don Quixote frightened many people. The Priest, played by Ron Packowitz had the job of comforting his family. The alluring gypsies sang and danced their way into the heart (and pocket) of Don Quixote. With open hands, and smiling faces, they rob him of his gold. 34 — Student Life Don Quixote was on a quest not only for knight- hood, but for Aldonza's love. Aaron Weiss offers his affection to Lena Akelian. Don Quixote searched many years for a place to be dubbed knight. Aaron Weiss and Kip Helverson ride their horses in search of this place. t IMPOSSIBLE DREAM SPRING PLAY ENTERTAINS MANY Chasing windmills, riding saw horses, and falling in love, Don Quixote, and several other characters came alive on the Niles North stage. In the three day run of The Man of La Mancha eigh- teen hundred people were entertained as Don Quixote, played by Aaron Weiss, with help from his sidekick Sancho, por- trayed by Kip Helverson, went on a quest for Aldonza's love. Lena Akelian played Aldonza. Three Months of hard work became well worth it as the lights came up on March 7th for the first performance. 75 hours were spennt learning not only the speaking parts, but twenty different songs. According to Director Jerry Prof- fit, Although the vocal demands were tough, the students reached the full po- tential of the characters and the feeling of the theme of the show. Also contributing to the mood of the play was the set, designed by Ken Leja. The Tech crew built the complicated, but very workable 16th century Spanish prison. Credit also goes to the orchestra, led by Elton Eisele, and to the many people involed with the preparation and production of the play, including the costumes, makeup, publicity, and ticket crews. All helped to make the 1985 pro- duction of The Man of La Mancha a Rachel Sobel Adam Gotskind A waitresses job is never easy, just ask Jacki Green- berg. After plenty of aggravated customers, she throws her hands in the air and sings It's an Art. The final number of the show was sung by the entire cast. Singing Something To Point To , stu- dents and faculty close the show. 36 — Student Life Marina Samaniego worked a sweltering day at the mills. Once home, she sings about her long day with Dan Sigale. We just traveled hundreds of miles and we're tired of not seeing our families. That's the veiw- point expressed by Ed Mussman and Ron Packowitz as they sing Brother Trucker. WORKING The Show That Works 7 The Niles North theater department held a first on April 26, 1985. It was the first time a play was presented which starred both students and faculty. The show was Working , written by Chicagoan, Studs Terkel. It showed how a person's occupation is important to them and although a lot of pride goes into one's job, it's often hard to find sat- isfaction. Starring faculty included Barbara Bass ( the bookstore lady ) as a teacher, di- rector Jerry Proffit as a stone mason, Richard Nugent as a business executive, and Marla Hoffman as a woman of the night. Some of the appearing students included Steven Singer as the newsboy, Marina Having finished his rounds, Steven Singer sings about how it's Great to be a Newsboy. Deon Williams sings Lovin' Al and is backed up by Linda Wasserman, Margie O'Connell, Lisa Bany, Jenny Berman, Debbie Brandwein, and Su- san Becker. Samaniego as the millworker, Josh Als- berg as the gas meter reader, and Deon Williams as the garage attendant. In order for the show to have taken place, lecture room D-100 had to be con- verted into a mini-theater. Director Jer- ry Proffit stated It was an intimate set- ting. The audience grew to feel the act- ing parts of the characters. He later ad- ded, D-100 is an excellent place to work with. Mr.Proffit also said that we will hold a student faculty show every-other year. Judging from the audiences reac- tion to this show, that's not such a bad idea. Michael O'Donnell Orchestra took part in the Winter Festival. Beth Tokowitz and Andrew Mabadi combine their musical talents to enhance the music of Tchaikov- sky. The festival included the talents of the choral classes. Members of the Chamber Choir sing in The Winter Festival could not have been brought alive without the string section. A.J. Bautista con- centrates on playing his violin with precise tempo. Songs combining both holidays were sung. Tracy Paige. Loralee Lezak, Lauren Kurtz, and Iris Berkowitz sing Silent Night . 38 — Student Life WINTER SPECTACLE Festival Unites Musical Talents To most people, December has been re- garded as one of the busiest months of the year. Gifts, crowded stores, holiday decorations, and post offices were part of the December scene. December was also the month of Christmas carols and music festivals. Long before the arrival of De- cember, the Niles North Music Depart- ment began to prepare for its annual winter music festivals. The first night of music festival was opened with performances by the North concert and symphonic bands. Under the direction of Mr. Elton Eisele, the concert band performed various type of music, ranging from the classical Tchai- kovsky's Symphony 3 to Decamp and Houston's light and funny Lawrence Milk Plays Guy Lunbargo . The sym- phonic band used its strength to play Alfred Reed's A Festival Prelude , which has come to be regarded as one of the composer's most brilliant and power- ful works for the modern symphonic band. The first night of winter music festival was concluded with Kalinui- kov's Symphone 1 in G minor, per- formed by the combining concert and symphonic bands. The second and final night of music fes- tival featured North's combined chiors and concert orchestra. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Anderson, the program opened with choirs singing The Ha- nukkah Song by Jill Gallina. Later, a light mood was touched upon the audi- ences by Frosty the Snowman . The second half of the program featured the concert orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Sklar, the orchestra gave its perfor- mances, from McKay's Symphonette in D to a sneak preview of this year's The Music Man . For the first time in Niles North's history, the orchestra had its lar- gest number of students in the string section, commented Mr. Sklar, and with the presences of some of our out- standing students, such as Injoo Choi, the concertmistress, and Becky Baron, the principle cello leader, they have been an inspiration and the entire or- chestra has improved due to their pre- sences.

Celebrate Arts Mural Premiers Youth Art Month Future generations of Niles North stu- dents will be able to see what life at North Niles was like in 1985. A giant mural depicting facets of high school life has been permantly hung in the East Cafeteria. The mural was the combined effort of students and Art Club members. The mural was presented to the school in a kick off ceremony for Youth Art Month, 1985. Youth Art Month (YAM) is an obser- vance held each March to emphasize the value of art education and cultural in- volvement for all young people. Niles North celebated with an almost daily of- fering of programs, exhibits, workshops and performances for students and guest. Mrs. Lillian Mann, Mr Tom Giles, and members of the Fine Art Comm, planned this YAM activity. Other programs included; a Shakespare performances by the Niles North bands and orchestras including a special high- light pf the Symphonic Band perform- ing Flight by Claude Smith. During YAM , for the first time,students from schools in the North Suburban Confer- encecame together for an all day art event held at Niles North. Eight high schools attended and students had a chance to participate in four different workshops. The finale of the month was the Aurosis Dance Company presentation. Accord- ing to Tom Giles, This years festival was the broadest and brightest ever com- plied , and we are thrilled to offer it to our students.

For seniors it was a night to get dressed in tuxedos and long gowns, take pictures and spend time downtown. It was Prom '85, held at the Westin Hotel. The theme was from Phil Collins' hit song One More Night . The 225 cou- ples that attended the Prom spent $55.00 for the evening which included a dinner of capon, fun and dancing. The music was supplied by Jack Kramer. It was dur- ing the dancing that Junior Class Board presented Vicki Singer and Andy Barnes as Prom king and queen. Following conversations with friends Promgoers were seated for the first course of dinner. Brent Novoselsky, Andrea Kominsky, Amy Kohn, and date get ready to enjoy Prom '85 dinner. Although the dancing was coming to an end Prom weekend was just beginning. Following the dance many couples were seen taking carriage rides or strolling along the Magnificent Mile. During the next two days many couples headed out to Marriot's Great America Amusement Park, Lake Geneva, the zoo or spent time with friends going on picnics. For Promgoers it was One More Night to add to their many memories of Niles North and for all, a night never to for- get.

The majestic sound of the Pomp and Cir- cumstance March swept across the field. For the graduating of 1985, it was the final day of the countdown that had be- gun months before. The graduates, filled with feelings of happiness, memories of their freshman days, and the sadness of leaving close friends, anticipated college careers and new beginnings in the fu- ture. Before diplomas were given out. Valedictorian Kristina Wu encouraged her fellow classmates to continue their education and to work towards a better society. The 1985 class had 447 graduat- ing students. The administration along with the par- ents were pleased by the well-organized graduation ceremony. Ms. Murphy com- mented, I thought it was a well- planned, lovely graduation. I am sure that day was one of the happiest days in the graduates' lives. It was also the last time Dr. Galen Hosier officially ap- peared as principal of Niles North as he assumed his duty as Assistant Superin- tendent for Niles Townships. Following the commencement ceremony, loud yells, smiles, and jubilant acts ex- pressed the joys of the graduates. Hail to North our Alma Mater! -the school song and the banners of Purple and White floated proudly over the gradu- ates of 1985! Jamie Kwan Sharon Segev Graduation — 45 Nothing stopped the graduates from attending their commencement ceremony. Not wanting to be an exception, Diane Stahlberg uses a cane and a friend to compensate for her injured leg. Just learning the three R's of reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic was a thing of the past. With the wide variety of courses that Niles North offered, a student was able to extend his knowledge far beyond the basics. With the help of experienced counselors, students choose the classes that interested them most and fulfilled graduation requirements. College bound students selected A.P. classes which helped in earning college credit hours. Since receiving good grades was a con- stant pressure, students received extra help from both teachers and fellow stu- dents. Teachers were available through- out the day for tutoring in various re- source centers. The National Honor So- ciety also provided the students with a tutoring service. Members were willing to give up their free time and study halls to assist classmates in a variety of subject areas. Through the academic program students also prepared for the future. The work study program allowed stu- dents a chance to earn money and gain credit. Students got a taste of the real life by working outside of school. Lead- ership was an important quality that high school students need. Participation in the P.E. Leaders Program gave ambi- tious athletes a chance to build their skills. Niles North's academic program ensured a solid education which helped to pro- mote success beyond a student's high school years. Cyndi Agemura The thought processes were really at work for this student. Senior Sharon Gothelf carefully thinks over her work. For some students taking a break wasn't possible, even during lunch.

For many students this part of life started in high school. In order to try and help students along Niles North offered classes concerning jobs. One of the more accredited of these classes was Cooperative Vocational Edu- cation or CVE. Although CVE was taken mostly by stu- dents who already have a job, there were also those who took the class to help them learn better working skills. There were class units on how to fill out an application and act on an interview. Another activity of CVE class was to help students find an area of work that most interests them. Discussions about the work involved in many different jobs in Home Economics, Industrial Arts and Office Occupations were conducted. If one of these areas interests a student follow-up clubs could be joined, such as CIE (Cooperative Industrial Education) or HERO (Home Economics Related Oc- cupations). A positive factor that CVE offers was the opportunity for help getting a job. There were job listings available in the main office and teachers could write recom- mendations for students. CVE offered two credits per semester; one for the class and one for the job training. Students were allowed to start their jobs during normal school hours. One of CVE's mottos was earn while you learn . Cooperative Vocational Education at- tracted approximately 70 students to its program and has proved to be a practical course for Niles North students. Jerri Gapastione Attentiveness in class was an important skill in CVE. Rhonda Wasserman and Andy Bauman lis- ten to the days discussion. ierves were always on end before a test.

Resource Centers give students all this and much more. Resource Centers, located in the 200 rooms of every hall, are a comfortable environment with lots of chairs and big tables for students to spread out in. Teachers offices were located in these rooms, and at all times a teacher could be found there to give extra help to students who needed it. Books from appropriate classes were available for students to check out. Because of limited space for study halls in the 100 rooms, upperclassmen were assigned to the 200 rooms for study halls. This allowed enough space for students who needed help and for those who are assigned. According to the Foreign Lan- guage Resource Center Teacher Nellie Bungum, Resource Centers could be very useful for the students who take advantage of them. So much construc- tive work could be done to further stu- dents studies. Ruth Ann Pos Students were free to read books, magazines, and newspaper as long as they're doing busy work. Getting a few chapters of her favorite novel in is Dani Spanjer. Time for students to just relax was very necessary in ones long tiresome days. Stacy Rabinowitz reads her favorite magazines in a Resource Center. Due to busy afterschool schedules of students, re- source centers made students loads much easier by allowing time to get homework out of the way. Getting ahead in Geometry is Tracy Paige.

The Sophomore English class listens as their teacher tells them the lesson of the day. 52 — Academics REQUIREMENTS CHANGE Students Face More Classes With acceptance to most colleges rising to higher expectations, the Niles North English and Foreign Language require- ments had indeed stiffened. Students were required to take three years of Eng- lish which included: Freshman and Sophomore English, one semester of Lit- erature and one semester of an elective. An English elective was chosen from a publications course, theatre course, or maybe even a Senior English skills course. Most students took four years of English knowing that acceptance to most col- leges will be more easily accomplished. For the class of 1990, a fourth year will be required for graduation. This extra year is favored by many teachers includ- ing Robert Wolf who stated, The fourth year of English is very important. That may be the last year some students will be able to expose themselves to things like grammar and literature. Students need to receive language fundamentals, or else they can't read and can't function in our society. In the foreign language department greater importance was placed on stu- dents to take a foreign language. Niles North taught four different forms of language which include: Spanish, French, German, and Hebrew. Other than direct classroom studies, the Foreign language department offered several extra-curricular activities deal- ing with either a foreign country or its people. Such as the case for Foreign ex- change club, who were involved with bringing and sending students to Amer- ica and to Foreign countries. With the raising requirements in Eng- lish and Foreign Language, these classes raised their student participation which will not help teachers but for the stu- dents themselves. Adam Stone Working on the North Star and Saga counted as English credit. Seth Arkin types his copy for the newspaper. Resource centers gave students a place to study in their free time.

Providing practical experience in such areas as computers, accounting, and in- tensive math skills, math and business classes prepare students for today's com- petitive career world. Business students are taught basic business skills and law. They study advertising, marketing, and financing in order to devise and run their own hypothetical small businesses. Business teachers keep students interest- ed with examples of charters, partner- ship contracts, and stocks and bonds, and video presentations of successfully run small businesses. Math students practice their skills daily under the supervision of expert teachers. Students may study algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and accounting. Suc- cessful students participate in the school's Math Team which competes against other high schools for the high- est scores. Math teachers also instruct students in computer classes where they are taught to control and operate our society's newest and most innovative form of communication. Together, the math and business classes of Niles North prepare students for the challenge and competition of the future.

Its music, visual arts, theatre and dance courses are in separate depart- ments or integrated into the English and Physical Education Programs. The Art Program offers a traditional selection of courses in addition to ceramics, crafts, two and three demensional design. The Theatre Arts Program attracts a number of students to the acting, stage craft, di- recting and play production courses. The classes prepare students for working on stage and behind the front curtain. Building sets, designing scrims, timing an entrance, or delivering a phrase are important topics for the drama students. Involvement in music can be had by way of fourteen different music courses. Music is one of the performing arts and the Niles North music program presents a variety of concerts during the school year for the North community . Dance was a part of physical education units which made use of folk dance. The Aur- oris Dance Club, an extra curricular ac- tivity gave interested students a chance to participate in practices for its annual program. Industrial Arts classes are con- sidered to be practical courses. In woods, autos, electronics and architectural drawing, the information that is given to students is helpful in making career choices, reparing and maintaining equipment and producing useful objects. Faculty representatives from the arts program worked together as part of the Fine arts Committee. The committee helped to present Youth Art Month dur- ing March of each year. The four weeks of presentations bring artists, performers and special presentations to the student body. With the dedication of the audito- rium lobby as a Fine Arts area Niles North has given special attention to the arts. William Sera Choir Union had many on stage rehearsals. Mr. Anderson and students prepare for their perfor- mance. Careful measurements were required in Architec- tural Drawing. A student works on a floorplan.

Here sophomore Alan Winkler shows his concentration. 58 —Academics ENJOYING THE ARTS Students Participate in Theater and Music A variety of music and theater courses are offered at Niles North. For the per- son who wants to be an actor, the school offers many types of acting classes. As theater director Jerry Proffit said, The- ater gives students an opportunity to find out who they are, and are able to find out things about themselves by por- traying different characters in an assort- ment of situations. They can explore feelings, emotions, and conflicts, that they haven't experienced yet, and that can help them with their acting. For the beginning actor Niles North offers a variety of classes to introduce you to the art, including Theater Workshop, Act- ing one and acting two. Another class that is offered, for the more advanced actor, is directing, in which the student learns the steps in directing a play. The students in this class actually have the chance of directing an one-act play that is performed in front of an audience. Another very important area in our school is the music department. There are a wide range of music classes. There are some classes which require a student to know how to perform on an instru- ment, and others in which you don't need any special skill. Some of the per- forming classes include; choral union, and symphonic band.A member of the Niles North Orchestra Michelle Levin commented, Being involved in the mu- sic program is nice, because I'm able to meet lots of people and practice my skills. A non-performing class is Bach to Rock, in which a student learns the history of music. As band director Elton Eisle stated, Music provides an outlet which is difficult to find in other areas of school. The classes offered give stu- dents an opportunity to actually per- form and create music themselves. Adam Gotskind To learn as much as possible it look a student much concentration. Junior A.J. Bautista is shown care- fully listening to instructions. To become a teacher took many years of school. Band director Elton Eisle gives instructions to his students. The students that have participated in plays at Niles North will remember them always. Here are students performing on stage.

The students at the round table are reading entertaining materials. 60 — Academics LEARNING USEFUL SKILLS Classes help students in career plans Teacher demonstrations were an esentionl part of foods class through out the year. Mrs Behr demon- strates the size of the dough needed to bake the bread. The Home Economics department had a great variety of courses and clubs for stu- dents to enjoy as an extra curricular ac- tivity or an introduction to a future ca- reer. There are three main reasons why students took many of the available Home Ec classes. First, students must have either Management for Living or Family Living to meet the graduation requirements. Secoundly students want- ed to, and liked taking these classes for their own enrichment, and finaly their career plans require these classes. Amongst the English courses our school offered, Reading Center is one that many students are not aware of. It is a reading improvement course open to any strdent who wants to build his or her vocabulary, reading comprehension and establish good reading habits. This year the center used its computer with specialized soft wear. Carnes were used to build vocabulary and students sleeted books to read for the purpos of short summaries on them. In addition to the games and computer use, the Reading Center established skills that contribut- ed to the students lifetime of reading pleasure. Amy Stern Home Ec.

Starting off the beginning of a basketball game is Ron Farkas. Members of the Boy s Leader Program are: (BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Mark Ruby, Jim Baker, Michael Kupferberg, Chad Lewis, Mark Kass, Coach Grant; (MIDDLE ROW) Josh Brustin, Da- vid Elowe, Curt Schlesinger, Tony Cesario, Dave Hancock, (FRONT ROW) John Youkhana, Scott Bulmash, Howard Ankin, Todd Alexander, Ron Sachs, Kirk Johnson. During their freshman year students who took an interest in gym were select- ed by the physical education department staff to be senior leaders. Through their sophpmore and junior years these stu- dents were trained by various P. E. teachers. They were taught how to be responsible for a class on their own, lead warm up exercises, and spot students on different kinds of gymnasium equip- ment. As part of their training they had a week to plan an agenda for one week day. When their day came they were able to take charge and lead the class on their own. Being part of the leaders program was more challenging than the everyday physical education class. Students were not only judged on their athletic ability but they also had to be reccommened by their academic teachers to be part of this program. The students had to be able to prove that they had the skill to work with others and had to lead good exam- ples for the younger students who might eventually become interested in being a leader themselves. Once these students had their training they then were scheduled to a gym class as a senior leader. They became the teachers aid. The leaders program was a good experience for those students inter- ested in someday becoming teachers themselves. Bonnie Mehr P.E. Leaders — 63 One of the great things about Niles North was the many different activities available to interested students. These activities ranged from clubs whose par- ticipating members helped keep drunk- en drivers off the roads to clubs whose members held charity fund raisers and paid visits to many of the communities needy people. Most of these after school activities were held on a regular basis. They offered op- portunities for people to get involved with their school, fill up spare time, and make new friends. Often new students take a negative attitude toward high school, dwelling on the great times they've had in junior high. Many of us believed There's nobody here like me until a reliable friend pays them a great favor by dragging them, almost phys- ically, to a club meeting. Students involved in after school activi- ties usually become close friends because everyone in a club works toward a cer- tain goal. After graduating high school, people tend to forget the academic classes and the work they required. When looking back in their high school years, they remember all of the fantastic times they've had with the friends they made through after school activities. Michael O'Donnell PAGE AFTER PAGE Staff overcomes obstacles Overcoming deadlines, working dili- gently, and taking on responsibilities played a critical role in the production of the 1986 Saga. The teacher's strike put the production behind two weeks right at the beginning, commented Senior William Sera. We had to com- bine the first two deadlines into one. Yearbook is more than a class, it is a group of students that produce a book to present to the school and the communi- ty , said Senior Adam Stone. The pro- duction of the book did more than edu- cate the staff, it gave them the exper- ience of working together, working with time limits, and developing skills neces- sary for basic journalism courses in col- lege. In my four years as a student here, I have never experienced a class quite like yearbook stated Senior Kim Koch- man. Sophomore Jeremy Boshes com- mented, this is my second year on the staff, and I plan on being here for two more. It has given me, and will give me the educational experience you can't get anywhere else. By the beginning of March, the final pages of the book were sent to the Josten's plant in Topeka, Kansas. The staff continued working throughout the rest of the school year to prepare pages for the next edition. Brian Jacobs Checking the progress of pages played a vital role in the production of the book. Mr. Grabowski goes through the process of checking pages with Wil- liam Sera, Leslie Duglow, and Sharon Segev. Members of the Saga staff are (BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Michael O'Donnell, Mark Goldberg, Adam Stone, William Sera, Kim Pamper, Daniel Sera, Ingrid Schensema; (THIRD ROW) Patty Schaden, Jeremy Boshes, Dennis Sanchez, Maurice L'tchen, Rachel Sobol, Jamie Kwon; (SECOND ROW) Sharon Segev, Adam Gotskind, Ruth Pos, Jerri Gapastione, Cindy Dikeman, Cynthia Age- mura; (FRONT ROW) Leslie Duglow, Amy Stern, Kim Kochman, Bonnie Mehr, Michael Levine, Be- linda San Juan. For the first time in the history of the Saga, the book was produced entirely on microcomputers. Cindy Dikeman enters the index on the computer. 66 — Activities On various days, certain members of the staff lead class discussions. Dennis Sanchez takes a count of groups that have not been scheduled for pictures, while Mr. Grabowski checks them off on the ladder diagram. Once pictures have come back from the studios, the staff members then started to fit them into their layout. Jeremy Boshes attempts to fit a picture into his layout. Reasearching information from past yearbooks helped staff members gain ideas. Adam Gotskind checks his page on the ladder diagram while Mark Goldberg looks through a past yearbook. Making sure that pictures were scheduled for their assigned pages was the responsibility of each staff member. Belinda San Juan checks to see if she has scheduled pictures for her activity. Saga — 67 THE STAR SHINES “99.5 Percent Student Produced Some things never changed with the North Star. Each year, stories were writ- ten, paste-ups completed, cartoons drawn, and photographs taken. This past year, the North Star recieved the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association's All- American award. A great deal of work went into producing the paper. The North Star was. According to Adam Fleicher, 99.5 percent student pro- duced. The entire staff discussed story ideas, which were then assigned to re- porters by the page editors. Co-editors Fess Stone and Adam Fleicher guided this activity. After about three days, sto- ries were written, proofread, and then sent to the printer. When the copy re- turned, the page editors designed layouts and did paste-ups of the newspaper. Ad- vertising was handled by Madeline Oton, and Dan Auslin was in charge of photos. Each member had a lot of re- sponsibility placed on them. Several changes were introduced in the 1985-86 edition with hopes of adding graphic ex- itement. Color was used, and toned back- ground designs were occasionally ghost printed. There were new innovations in the photo element as well. Some cut-out images and tilted pictures were used in the newspaper. The staff hoped that these changes would continue the award winning status of the North Star. Select- ed members of the North Star and Saga belonged to Quill and Scroll. Exper- ienced high school journalists who have exhibited excellence were admitted to the honorary society. Members recieved pins, and newsletters filled with style and production ideas arrived every other month. One Saga member commented, I am sure that the high school journalists were proud to belong to Quill and Scroll. Rachel Sobel The light box came in handy for examining prints and negatives.

CREATIVE ACTIVITES Clubs Use Creative Ideas Possibilities for students who enjoy ex- pressing there creative ideas were found through Calliope and Art Club. Calliope, the student literary magazine contained essays, drawings, poems and short stories sobmitted by students who liked to write and could put there talents to good use. Calliope was sponsored by Mr. Peter La Forge. Editer-in-chief, Nancy Chang helped members work together all year around to get the magazine published by May. You don't have to be a great artist to be in Art Club. Art Club was for stu- dents who enjoy and are interested in all types of art and like to be with other students who also like art. Members of Art Club decided on several projects for this year. Silk screen T-shirts both to sell and to keep for themselves, was one idea that the members had. They also de- signed a banner that was used at the state P.T.A. convention. Coordinating some displays of art work around school was another one of the clubs projects. Both these student activites.

Art Club Calliope — 71 SPELLING SERVICES Clubs Support Good Cause According to Webster's dictionary, ser- vice would be defined as contribution to the welfare of others . During the '85- 86 school year, both the National Honor Society and the Student Congress worked to benefit others and the com- munity. National Honor Society is an impor- tant part of the school because what it does is beneficial for students and its community, commented Honor Society President Becky Baron. The Society achieved this through its services com- mittee. During holiday season, members of this committee visited and brought their high spirits to nursing homes and children wards by performing music and presenting small gifts. The services com- mittee was chaired by Sarah Rothschild. The tutoring and open house committees also showed concern within the school as members of the Society. Members of the entire Honor Society helped other students by giving them in-school, stu- dent-to-student tutoring services. Open House committee members served to give guides to parents and new students at Open House night. Unlike the past few years, visiting pro- fessors' committee expanded this year's visiting professors' program into the English, foreign languages, and social studies departments, as well as the math and science programs. On February 26, 1986, professors from various colleges gave lectures to classes. The committee was chaired by Jack Hsu. At the beginning of the year. Student Congress held its first VikingFest in which representatives from all four class levels competed against one another in sporting events. Congress also served as a direct link for students to administra- tion and faculty through representatives to the Educational Policy Advisory Council, Parent Teacher Student Associ- ation, and the District 219 Board of Edu- cation. Like N.H.S., Congress benefited the community by sponsoring a charity auction in which the proceeds went to Children's Memorial Hospital. Congress was administered by its Execu- tive Board, consisting of President Mike Schachter, Treasurer Jeff Levine, Secre- tary Julie Goldberg, and Kim Kochman and Joe Weiss. Student Congress has a lot of potential in it, commented Kim Kochman, and it does its job with strong commitment from its members.

Student Congress National Honor Society — 73 HARD WORK, BIG DIVIDENDS “KEY Club Serves Needy People For all the swimmers at Niles North, an exiting new club was born, the Fifty Mile Swim Club. The club was for those who like to swim all throughout the year and wanted to increase their swimming abilities. The club was just getting start- ed this year, but established high goals for themselves. In the club the swimmers goal was to swim fifty miles in the pool. No specific period of time was required. Once the swimmer completed the fifty miles they received an American Red Cross certificate. As Coach Wellman said, This is not a coached swim, it is a recreational swim in which the kids are there to learn and have fun, she contin- ued, this is a new developing club , and the main goal of ours is to take each swimmer who has completed the fifty miles down south to take part in a swim camp during spring break. David Noe, a club member, commented, I joined this club to help build up my endurance, to make me a stronger swimmer, and to increase my swimming abilities, he continued, I feel this is a very helpful club, and all swimmers should think about joining so that they can improve their swimming skills. Since this was a new born club, there hasn't been a high participation rate yet, but there are many who are planning to join accord- ing to Coach Wellman. Coach Wellman feels that the swimmers who really want become the best they can be, will be the ones who show up for this club. I think it is really neat that some students are willing to donate their spare time to help people who are less fortunate. said K.E.Y. Club President Mike O'Donnell. To kick off the year's activities the K.E.Y. Club held a raffle during October for Sav-a-Pet. The raffle was quite a suc- cess and brought in $400 for the shelter. During the year they saw the many tal- ents of the K.E.Y. Club members. There were clowns visiting the childrens ward at Luthern General Hospital and Chora- liers leading sing along's at Goldman Home for the aged. 'To cheer up a de- pressed person is the greatest thing any- one can do. stated Mike O'Donnell. The members also participated in several bake sales. Successful food drives yielded several boxes of food to shelters for the homeless. This prompted Joyce Villan- ueva to comment, I believe that the K.E.Y. Club has contributed greatly to the community. Members of the K.E.Y.

Pro- ject Lead and Student Leadership Peer Couseling played important roles in as- similating freshmen to Niles North. Project Lead (Leadership, Education, And Development) began helping the freshmen before school was in session by leading orientation in the late summer. Their work continued throughout the year in the form of a canned-food drive, among other things. The food drive was advertised as a contest between class lev- els; the winning class got to throw a pie in Mike Schachter's face. Many freshmen joined peer groups that enabled them to make new friends, learn new skills, and miss study hall all at the same time. Peer Counseling Student Leadership was a two-part program that taught leadership skills to select sopho- mores and juniors. Reflective listening, assertiveness training, and I messages were just a few of the many helpful skills taught by sponsors Mrs. Murphy, Al Ross, Bob Sheinin, and various ad- vanced leaders. Once these leadership skills were well developed, the students led peer couseling groups for underclass- men, or worked to help ESL students overcome language barriers and home- work difficulties.

Both groups got equal amounts of respect from the student body, though each group had its own purpose. The Varsity Cheerleaders were a group of twelve junior and senior girls. These girls gave the school spirit. They could often be seen on game days leading cheers in the cafeteria at lunchtime. But the real time these girls strutted their stuff was at the Varisty football and bas- ketball games. They lead cheers during the games and often had the crowd on their feet cheering with them. At time- outs and in-between quarters they did pyramid on the court or field. A pyramid cheer was when the girls balance and stack each other up two or three people high all the while chanting their cheer. The cheerleaders dedicated a lot of time and energy to their cause. They spent hours after school perfecting their skills. We, the fans, only saw the finished product at gametime. Most people didn't even know about the time these girls gave up to attend a summer camp. These camps helped in creating new ideas and perfecting their skills. The Vikettes were made up of sopho- more, junior and senior girls. Like the cheerleaders, the Vikettes helped pro- mote spirit. On the day of a game they could be seen wearing their traditional purple and white outfits. As in past years this years squad attend- ed summer camp. The Vikettes camp was more of a competition. This years squad came in first for senior kickline and sec- ond in routine originality. This quali- fied them for the Midwest Invitational. Out of 32 schools the Vikettes took first in prop routine and second in senior kickline. All of the Vikettes preparation was used only at halftime of football and basket- ball games. However their three minutes of routine was a definite treat to watch. The students filled the stands, stood up and cheered on the girls. Spirited people like the Varsity cheer- leaders and the Vikettes were a definite plus to the school. Their pep was conta- gious and filled the school with pride.

Cheerleaders Spirit Soars At every football and basketball game there were a few dedicated students who cheered the teams through the good and bad at every home and away games. They could be seen on the sidelines keeping the Viking spirit alive. These people are the Niles North Cheerleaders. Practicing almost everyday, the cheer- leaders learned new mounts, cheers and sidelines routines so that each perfor- mance was filled with a variety of action for the crowds to enjoy. Time was also spent in the summer practicing and at summer camp where they spent one week with other high school cheer- leaders. At camp they learned new rou- tines for the upcoming seasons. This years Pre-Varsity Squad consisted of 13 members and the Freshman Squad had only 12 members. The girls responsibil- ities were to promote school spirit and involve the fans in the game. Whether cheering at a game or just being at school, the cheerleaders were to set a good example for proper school spirit and good sportsmanship. Candy was sold throughout the year so that each squad could raise money for things they need- ed during the year. For these girls, cheer- leading enabled them to make new friends, meet people from other schools, and be dedicated members of Niles North High School. The time and effort spent gave them valuable experience and personal satis- faction. Something they can cherish al- ways.

Cheerleaders — 81 STUDENT INVOLVEMENT Activities Pay Off in Enjoyment Good morning, Niles North. Here's what's happening! became a familiar phrase to Niles North students this year. The voice of behind that daily statement belonged to P.A. announcer Joe Weiss. He and five other announcers brought Niles North the latest in school news, sports, and events every morning during AAA over the school P.A. system. The announcers would read to all students things like scores, club announcements and fundraisers, and information about upcoming events like Basketball Bashes. When you think about it, Weiss said, just about anything that's happening around here we tell to the students first- hand. It could be something as little as someone leaving their headlights on in the parking lot or as big as a student winning an award or scholarship. Building manager Maria Thompson se- lects and supervises the P.A. announcing crews. Auditions are held in June for the upcoming school year. Once a student is selected, he or she does not have to try out next year to continue announcing. The six announcers are divided into three groups of two. Each group is as- signed to read the announcements for two six-week periods during the school year. The teams consist of Scott Hirsh- man and Jay Steinfink; Ed Mussman and Howard Ankin; Weiss and Barry Roskin. At first you're nervous when you're announcing. After all, you're talking to nearly 2000 people every morning. However, after a while you get used to it. Now when I'm on the P.A., I feel as if I'm just talking to one person, and there is no nervousness left, Weiss said. Behindd all the glitter and glamour of the homecoming dance stood the homecoming committee. A lot of plan- ning was necessary to make the dance memorable. To complete this large task, the committee was divided into seven sub-committees which consisted of pep committee, dance committee, parade committee, alumni brunch committee, spirit committee, program committee, and publicity committee. They began setting up the committee in May, and during the summer, committee members were noted if they were appointed chair- man, and to what sub-committee they were on. After they were notified the chairmen would meet once a week dur- ing the summer with their sub-commit- tee members until homecoming week. The theme was developed around the football team that they were to play against in the homecoming game. The P.A. Announcers were (BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Joe Weiss, Howard Ankin, Scott Hirshman, (FRONT ROW) Ed Mussman, Jay Steinfink. The P.A.

Homecoming Committee PA Announcers — 83 PARENTS SUPPORT SCHOOL The PTSA dealt with both school and community issues Concerned and active parents could have gotten involved with their chil- dren's extracurricular activities in var- ious ways. If a child participated in a sport, for example, the parent may have wished to join the Booster Club. A dif- ferent parent, however, may have found the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) more beneficial. The Booster Club was quite visible throughout the Homecoming celebra- tion. During the game, it sold Niles North Viking pennants which proud fans waved in the rain, and that night, members of the club served as chaper- ones at the victory dance. They took charge of the concession stand at home basketball games in order to raise money for the Booster Club Scholarships. Al- though the club was mainly concerned with athletic groups, scholarship recipi- ents did not have to be athletes. The PTSA also awarded scholarships to deserving seniors with money earned while working the concession stand at home football games. The PTSA dealt with both school and community issues. The groups efforts varied from sponsor- ing purple Homecoming balloons to pre- senting a program on Founder's Day. A parent that chose to join either one of these clubs made a wise decision. Kim Koch man At each meeting, a spot on the agenda was reserved for reading any communications the PTSA re- ceived.

Booster Club PTSA — 85 Road to Success Students learn with hands on activities This was DECA's sixth year in opera- tion. The Distributive Education Clubs of America started fourteen years ago at Niles East. In this organization, students prepare displays, sales, demos, speeches, and reports that are submitted to area competitions. Winners of area meets go on to state then national competitions. When asked what the students learn in class, Mr. William Coulson replied, They learn with hands on activities re- lated to the marketing and management fields. Students learn by doing not by just watching. Outstanding students have been chosen to go downstate and are then given state officer positions. These officers include Sandy Berg, Lisa Pekofsky, Jordan Scott, Steve Stein, and Illinois State Vice Presi- dent Brian Jacobs. All five officers were chosen for their outstanding abilities in certain areas such as Sales, Marketing, and Free Enterprise. Each individual is in charge of running the chapter in the different activities that he or she is best in. Thoughout the year, DECA has many fund raisers such as candy sales, coupon books, and their best sales, Mother's Day roses. Money from sales goes for funding trips to state competitions in Springfield. Patty Schaden Breaking into groups often helps students gain a new angle of learning. Vice President Brian Jacobs consults with Dan Walsh on a project. Studying quietly often gives students a chance to create business ideas. Senior Randy Brown jots down a creative idea.

DECA — 87 Students ''Invest Their Time Students fill student leisure time Over 70 lives are lost each day in alco- hol related incidents. Signs like this one were seen posted all over the school by the Niles North chapter of S.A.D.D., Students Against Driving Drunk. The club's main concern was to inform stu- dents on the dangers of drinking and driving. The club has brought in many guest speakers to appear before students. The speakers have ranged from Skokie Police officers to students who have been personally involved in alcohol re- lated accidents. Mr. Brigham, the club sponsor, felt the best way the club can get the message across to the student was to emphasize the dangers and tradgedies of the deadly combination. Students with interest in money in- vestment and the stock market took part in the in the Niles North Investment Club. Sponsor, Mr. Charles Plock, en- couraged club members to make wise in- vestments and taught them to read and use the stock market. Both S.A.D.D. and the Student Invest- ment Club provided valuable exper- iences and challenge for all involved. -Lesli Duglow 88 — Activities Members of the Student Investment Club are: (BACK ROW LEFT TO RIGHT) Jung So, James Rabinowitz, David Elowe, Richard Horwitz, How- ard Ankin (MIDDLE ROW,) Marc Rosenthal, Ju- lie Goldberg, Julie Tucker, Dani Spanjer, Eugene Lin, Howard Altschul (FRONT ROW) Verayut Onthuam, Mike Schacter, Steve Andrews, Mr. Plock.

S.A.D.D. Student Investment Niles North Theater Department The Stars Shine Through One section of Niles North where stu- dents were able to show off their talents was the Niles North theater department. Four times a year, a great number of the school's population audition for a part in a theater production. Many are not ac- cepted and try again, but for those who are, it's an unforgettable experience. Rehersals begin less than a week after auditions. They last for about six weeks and generally last for two to three hours. There are full dress rehersals the last two nights before where students are expect- ed to remain in school until 10:00 P.M. Behind every great performance is a good technical crew. The techies” as they're called, sometimes work even longer hours than the cast. They must build a set for the stage, get spotlights in working condition, and make sure ever- ything runs smoothly during the perfor- mance. Senior tech member Deborah Novack commented Time is an impor- tant element in building a set. If you're off schedule, it usually means an eight hour Saturday. The teahcer's strike really threw us off schedule for the fall perfor- mance of 'Night Watch'. Even the Niles North Theater Department wasn't immune to it's share of bloopers .

He wasn't even aware there was a perfor- mance going on! All the rehersals, all the hype, and all the anticipation finally come to a close with the opening night performance. Although nervousness could well be expected when you're on stage in front of several hundred people, it sometimes worked to an actors advan- tage according to junior Debbie Gordon. I guess it's a feeling of excitement and energy having people watching you. 1 get nervous, but I believe it betters the performance. The most important person to a show is director Jerry Proffit. Even the newest of students realize this. For example, soph- omore David Gould stated The Niles North Theater Department is the great- est, but without the ingenuity of Mr. Proffit, I'm sure it wouldn't be half as good . A lot of hard work goes into a show. It takes an average of seventy hours of re- hersal to bring a two hour performance to the audience but according to the thespians, it's more than worth it.

During meets the Wreslettes provided refreshments at the concession stand for hungry spectators. Some of the Wrest- lettes helped keep score while others kept time. When the wrestlers had to travel away for a meet, the Wrestlettes accompanied them to cheer the home team. This year the Wrestlettes were busy selling candy, jewelry, and calen- ders. Money raised was used to buy T- shirts for the club members and provide the wrestlers with new bags. Getting splashed did not stop the Timers from helping at swim meets. Timers had the important responsibility of keeping time and every second counted. After verifying the time, members of the club recorded it on cards. Loyalty and dedica- tion were important qualities of the Timers as they took time out to encour- age the swimmers to do their best.

Both Jennifer Mark of the Medical Club and Mr. Thomas, sponsor of the Interna- tional Club, expressed the sentiment that their two clubs were probably the most misunderstood of any at Niles North. Too many students believe that only 'the future doctors of America' are al- lowed to join the Medical Club, stated Jennifer Mark, senior, Actually, its pur- pose is to promote interest in medicine and science. The International Club is here to help our own student body realize the vast number of cultures that exist in our com- munity. Unfortunately, we are thought of solely as a 'foreign' club, thus we are avoided by many other students, la- mented Mr. Tom Thomas who, with Mr. Donald Harper, heads the club. The Niles North Medical Club has been active for five years, with membership doubling itself every year. The club vis- its hospitals and college labs regularly in search of more knowledge of medicine, science, and the careers available in ei- ther field. Several members of the club were trained in first aid and went to the Na- tional Youth First Aid Competition held March 15. The Niles North International Club of- fers foreign and native students the chance to meet each other and benefit from knowledge of other people and their cultures. The club held several Taste Tests where traditional foods from around the world were sampled. A show depicting traditional dances and clothing of the countries represented by foreign memebers was among the clubs interesting activities. - Kimberly Pamper The Medical Club met regularly on Wednesday afternoons.

Medical Club lnternational Club COOKING IN STRANGE WORLDS Club Gives Culinary Experience Many people did not take into consider- ation where the food served at open- house and Christmas activities came from. The answer was the Creative Cooking Club. Students who joined made everything. They prepared la- sagna, spritz, pizza, spaghetti, nachos, baked Alaska, apple pie, and Fondue. Members also acquired experience in correctly setting a table and appropriate manners when eating out. Materials were bought with the money raised through dues and through fund raising; this year, Le Pops were sold. A major event that members attended was the National Restaurant Association Show during May at McKormick Place. One may have attended through invitation only. Mrs.McElfresh, the sponsor of the club, took several students with her. Demonstrated in the show were the latest in everything culinary; from accessories to decor; included were uniforms and furnishings. There were techniques on better formats for menus. Many competitions such as gourmet foods judged on artistic preparation were held along with lectures on managing hotels and restaurants. Participants in the cooking club went on field trips and finally to a local well reknown restau- rant at the end of the year. A new wave of science fiction. Doctor Who, and White Dragon entered North with its new Science Fiction Club. The club, which was sponsored by Mr.Lange, met every Monday after school to watch sci- ence fiction videotapes and have discus- sions about the latest science fiction books on the market. Although the Club was only a year old, it drew many sci- ence fiction fans.

Creative Cooking Club — 97 CLUBS BOADEN HORIZONS Funds Help Needy Both the Spanish National Honor Soci- ety and the Environmental Club helped students broaden their horizons. The Spanish National Honor Society worked on making students more familiar with Spanish customs. During the year the club took a field trip to the restaurant, Que Pasa. Members and native Spanish speaking students were given a chance to taste authentic Spanish dishes. The students tested their ability to converse in Spanish only, as they vowed to ban English for the night. Funds raised from both the Churro sale and the Pinata raffle were donated to the Mexican and Columbian disasters. Through the Red Cross, money was used to buy food and provide shelter to needy families. This year two AP students, Belinda San Juan and Gary Mines, participated in the Spanish Immersion Weekend. The students vowed to think and speak in only Spanish for the entire weekend. President of the Spanish National Hon- or Society, Belinda San Juan, commented that It was hard at first to think and speak in Spanish. I had to think in Eng- lish then translate it into Spanish. By the end of the weekend I found myself thinking in Spanish and having to translate it into English. While the Spanish National Honor So- ciety familiarized themselves with Span- ish customs, the Environmental Club fa- miliarized themselves with nature. They met on Thursdays to learn more about experimentation on animals and the use of drugs in race horses. They invited re- presentatives from the Humane Society to speak on various subjects. Sponsorer Mr. Dejonge contributed his knowledge of planting when the Environmental Club decided to plant a garden in the courtyard. President Denyse Wang com- mented Within the next year 1 hope to encourage more Environmental Clubs in other schools so we can work together on projects.

Environmental Club Spanish National Honor Society — 99 THE GAME OF KINGS Mathletes For those students who enjoyed the game of chess, there were two activities to choose from: the Chess Club and the Chess Team. The club was more infor- mal and gave interested students the chance to play what they called casual chess . This type of chess differed from the classical form of the game in that it involved fun rather than competition. The club met on Tuesdays and Fridays and on these days they busied them- selves by playing these casual variations of the game. One variation was called Give-away-chess . The goal in this game was to get rid of all your pieces before your opponent did; in simpler terms: to lose. More serious chess was played by the eight members of the Chess Team. Mr. Cardulla, the sponsor, accompanied them to their competitions against other schools in their North Suburban Chess League. The players were ranked by board: the best player playing on the first board, the second best on the second and so on, altogether there being eight boards. They entered this chess season as defending conference champs with junior Steve Kim as the first board play- er. Through the years the Math Team has always had a competitive edge. But this year the Teachers' Union Strike had a very negative effect on the team's rank forcing them to forfeit an important meet. At the end of their season they placed at a lower standing than they had hoped. The team was part of the North Suburban Conference competing against schools like Evanston and New Trier. They competed on four levels: the fresh- man, sophomore, junior, and senior lev- els. The top three scores from each level were combined to form the team score. Among the consistent scores were sen- iors Nancy Chang, David Reinstein, Nori Ruo, and president Gary Mines.

They use this time to ask questions, learn shortcuts and other test-taking tips. Math Club Math Team — 101 SINGING SPIRITUALLY Choirs joined for festival The only place where music and lyrics could be heared without breaking school rules was the chorus room. The Choir Union, which was composed of the Girl's Ensemble, and Chamber Choir, met everyday. Advanced members of the Chamber Choir (Honors) met also after school for practices. Honors Choir mem- bers had to audition for Chamber Choir and then were selected for Honors. Mr.Anderson, the director, conducted and directed all the choral groups, pre- paring them for the North Surburban Chorus Festival, which was held at Anti- och. The festival consisted of many choruses from different schools giving performances. The Choir Union arrived at 9 A.M. for practice and the entire concert was over at 8:30 P.M. The Choir worked on spiritural music and the Honors Choir worked on pieces from Mozart and Hayden. They also worked on a variety of music from classical pieces and selections from musicals. During Christmas, seasonal selections were rehearsed. The Choir Union gave a winter and spring concert and the Hon- ors Choir presented programs outside of school. If one enjoys music and singing, the choir groups give a chance to do this, and there is no homework, stated ad- vanced Honors Choir member Susan Sommers. The choir groups enjoyed per- forming in front of their audiences. Dan Sera Synchronization was practiced during rehearsals. Bonnie Click and Susan Sommers practice together.

Chorus — 103 RHYTHM HITS HOME Band gets into the groove Many high schools have bands. March- ing bands, symphonic bands, and jazz bands are commonplace to the eyes and ears of most students. The Niles North band though, is really something special according to band president Joe Weiss. Out of all extra-curricular activities, band has the most potential because we have a very talented group of musi- cians. The dedication given to the band by its members is unbelievable. Many mem- bers have been in some sort of school band since fourth grade and remain in band for all four years of high school. Whether you go to a football game, a basketball game, homecomming, or a pep ralley,you can expect to see the band. They even play throughout the graduation ceremonies. One of the highlights of the year comes when the band gets to compete out-of- state. In 1985, they were asked to go to Florida to represent our school in a com- petition. They were one of five bands selected across the country. The excit- ing part of the trip came when we marched in a parade at Walt Disney World with 20,000 people watching us. stated sophomore Doug Bressler. It's highly unusual for a school activity to hold practices or get togethers over the summer, but not for band. They got to- gether two nights a week over the sum- mer. They also marched in the Fourth of July parades for Skokie, Morton Grove, and Glenview. Joe Weiss stated Of course we're a closely knit group. We have to be to be successful.

Band — 105 ORCHESTRA PROVIDES UPBEAT STYLE “Funds provide for Canadian tour The Orchestra, directed by Mr. Scholar, had only one objective, to play. Throughout the year they performed several concerts held at Niles North for any who were interested in their upbeat classical style. They usually leaned to- wards the original classics but added a modern strain to it giving them a new, interesting sound. Besides working hard on their pieces during their one hour class, they were also prompted to work hard at selling anything from candy bars to lollipops. Their goal was to raise enough money for their May tour to Canada. The tour was like a concert and gave them another chance to play, prac- tice and enjoy themselves. Besides sell- ing, they were also asking for donations especially from stores whom they also asked for advertisements. At the Spring Musical, Music Man , Scholar acted as conductor and directed a combined group of band and orchestra members to a fine performance. Only her first real year on orchestra. Senior Linda Hong, who played the vio- lin, said it was a fun one. With only two years under her belt, Linda had only one regret-not having started sooner. Belinda San Juan The Niles North Orchestra performed many times during the year. Each musician practiced long hours to prepare for the shows.

His contribution to the music program is appreciated by the students in the orchestra. Heavy drum beats helped to stir the homecoming crowd. Members of the Marching Band Drum Corp set the pace for the parade. 108 — Activities New lo the music program during the fall of 1985 was the Dixyland Five Steps. Four of the members Ed Mussman, Evan Dolinsky, George Villacres, and Dan Glickman rehearse together. The Winter Concert was an enjoyable evening event.

Music Candids — 109 At Niles North, sports were more than just an afterschool activity, it meant a commitment to excellence. It meant de- voting mornings, afternoons, weekends, and vacations to practicing for games and meets. Not only did the atheletes learn basic skills, they learned about teamwork, dedication, and competition. For the atheletes at Niles North, win- ning meant triumph and satisfaction. Losing meant dissatisfaction and anger, but above all it was a learning exper- ience. The coaches provided the atheletes with the training necessary not only for sports, but for life. They helped to shape the attitudes of the atheletes. Various clubs and organizations helped to support some of the teams throughout the year. The PTSA helped to support the football team by selling seat cush- ions, pennants, and pom-pons. They also helped by running the concession stand during games. The Booster Club helped to support the basketball teams by run- ning the concession stand during the games. Through the dedication of the atheletes, and the support from the school and community, the teams were able to strive towards excellence. Brian Jacobs Cooperation Improves Performance A collaborative unit is how the dictio- nary describes a team. At-Niles North there were many teams. The baseball team consisted of four divisions: all of them worked and collaborated togeth- er during the season in their units to out perform the competition. The Freshman A team, with a record of 14, 3, and 2 along with the Fresh- men B team, held a record of 8 and 7 and were able to do an outstanding job. Along with varsity, j.v.'s biggest advantage was their strong batting ability. Varsity produced excellent scores with a record of 14 and 11. All Conference players were Senior Mark McIntosh Junior Bob Powers, and Junior Mitch Goldstein. Most valuable players were Mark McIntosh and Bob Powers, Coaches Pugliese and Ramseger and their teams into a very successful season.

Boys Baseball — 131 Experience pays off With hopes of bringing home a state championship trophy, the 1985 boys gymnastics team dedicated their summer to rough workouts. A new head coach was a key factor in a sixth place in the state compe- tition. Coach Bill Bro took over the posi- tion of head coach at the beginning of the gymnas- tics year. Niles North was contin- ualy fighting for first in state with York and Addison Trail. However Vince Rostowski suffered a tragic gymnastic injury which sidelined him for the re- mainder of the season. The injury and an end of the season leg injury to Joel Wasserman were credited with the possi- ble difference between first and sixth in state. Having received a second place conference title, a regional champion- ship, Dave Goldman, parallel bars and Howard Zavell, still rings, took first place in the state championship meet. Commenting on the 1985 team Joel Was- serman stated, We really were hoping for state championship early in the sea- son, but Vince s knee injury was the har- dest blow to the team. We have already begun to work on the next years team and 1 beleive we can do a better job next year. With this in mind the Niles North gymnastic team will work hard to uphold their winning tradition.

Boys Gymnastics — 133 HARDSHIPS Need More Runners Dedicated runners was what track was all about. Although, admittedly, their team was small and the number grew smaller as the season progressed, the ones who were out and stayed out were all loyal to the sport. They practiced hard in all kinds of weather and some of their meets were run under even worse condi- tion. I remem- ber at one meet it was snowing, even hailing, recalled junior John San Juan. Despite these difficulties they did do well in their individual races and relays, but because of the fact that they didn't have enough runners for ev- ery event they won only a few of their meets. The team consisted of mainly sophomores and juniors and was led by Coach Howard and Coach McIntyre. Some of the better runners were Doug Culumbik and John San Juan who ran in the relays and in the 200 and 440 yard dashes. Besides other runners, the weather was another opponent to he wary of. Running varsity hur- dles, Chris Redito overcomes both. Strength and good form helped increase the dis- tance on each throw.

Acceleration multiplied with height equaled dis- tance. Senior Ronald Farkas uses the two in his triple jump to beat his opponent. Boys Track — 135 SURPRISING YEAR Speed Picks Up Eighteen schools attended the Girls Track and Field Conference Meet and Niles North finished an impressive third. But at that point it was not sur- prising. They had shown their strength throughout the entire season. The primary goal of the team was to get as many girls as possible to sec- tionals, which are held down- state. This was accomplished through hard practices, well- run meets, and a sincere effort to do their best. In the end the team that went downstate consisted of more girls than had been expected. Niles North attended the Lake Forest Relays and out of the fifteen competing schools, ours won a third place trophy. The next step for the team was conference. Karol Kuehn was conference champion for the 1800 meter run; Madeline Oton placed in the discus and shotput; and the 1600 meter relay team of lead-off runner Risa Stack, Mary Meek, Colleen McIntyre, and an- chor Doris Adler held their conference title for the second year in a row. Risa also won the high jump. The medley re- lay team consisted of Carine McCall, Doris Adler, Laura Berger, and Risa Stack came in second at conference. Our girls' track and field team had a great day at sectionals as they accom- plished their goal and managed to set five school records. The track and field team never before had two girls as sectional champs, stated Mr. Barstow, coach of the girls track and field team. The two sectional champs were Karol Kuehn for the 1800 meter run and Madeline Oton for discus and shotput. As Julie Tucker, member of the team, put it, We had a fantastic year!

Girls Track — 137 Important Ingredient With only two seniors competing, the Boys Varsity Tennis Team was consider- ably younger than last year's team. Ac- cording to varsity coach, Pat Grant, the lack of upperclassmen and experience was a serious setback for the team. Age and experience are important in- gredients for the team during the season, com- bining them of- ten results in a winning season. Steve Sands, the sole freshman playing at the varsity level said, I went in there not knowing the team, but we all worked hard and did well. Overall the team placed fourth in the Glenbrook South Sectionals. All-conference player, Mike Wirth, summed up the season as a learning experience and thinks the Team will do as well or better next year. The Junior Varsity Tennis Team consists of thirteen freshman and just one sophomore. Coach Mark Recker feels the team is one of the best frosh- soph teams he's seen in his six years of coaching. The varsity team had four all- conference players: Adam Garland, Steve Sands, Ramesh Subramani, and Mike Wirth. Gary Kantor was named most valuable player. According to ju- nior all-conference player Adam Gar- land, the underclassmen will provide a lot of talent for next year's team.

Boys Tennis — 139 Alive and Kicking More experience and better soccer skills improved the 1985 season for the Girls' Soccer Team. Coach William Coulson was pleased with the results of the team's hard work and preparation. Many team members trained over the summer by joining soccer camps where they were intro- duced to co-ed games. Also,a rigorous pro- gram of run- n i n g to strengthen leg muscles and im- prove endur- ance was en- tailed pre-sea- son. Returning sophomore, Shari Roz- mus, once again proved to be an out- standing player, scoring 32 goals in 20 games. Due to her remarkable skill, she was placed on the Girls' All State Team in 1985. Shari Rozmus Coach Coulson noted that even when up against such stiff competition as Liberty- ville,Evanston, and Lake Forest, team spirit was maintained at a high point. Everyone tries to cheer for someone else, said Coach Coulson. A perfectionist, Coach Coulson main- tained that there is always room for im- provement. In order for us to be com- petitive with such teams as Libertyville and Lake Forest, we must not rely on this past year's success. We must sharpen our skills.

Girls Soccer — 141 Spirit Keeps Teams Strong In the spring after the snow has melted, and flowers have begun to grow, there is a feeling of new life and energy. At that time, the Girls Varsity Softball team gets into action. Although there was much enthusiasm, it was not a winning 1985 season for the girls. We could have done better, but it's okay, we had alot of fun said Senior Lau- ra Pomerantz, a member of the Varsity team. Many girls in- cluding Gayle Lev, Leslie Babetch, Shar- on Gothlef, Laura Pomerantz, and Molly Gavin have played on the team for three years. They contributed to the ongoing spirit through the season. Newcomers to the Varsity team included Kris Monstivil and Junior Tracey Kurtz. Last season Tracey played on the Fresh- man team. Spirits were also high for the girls J.V. and Freshman teams. The J.V. followed with an enthusiastic season. Led by Ju- niors Rhonda Wendt and Danica Petro- vic, the J.V. team won over one-third of their games. For the 13 woman Freshman Softball team, the number 13 was not a lucky one. Their season of no wins was a dissa- pointment; however, M.V.P. Nancy Hundrieser led the team with much en- couragement. Patty Schaden Spirit was the name of the game for the Varsity Team.

Girls Softball — 143 Runners rebuild team Strength and endurance were the major advantages of the 1985 Viking cross country teams. The teams concentrated more on building up their endurance for their competetive long distance runs this year. Cross country is a gruelling sport in which the students don't get the recognition they deserve. stated Coach Howard. The teams had a no- ticable differ- ence in their quality without some of the previous members but old member Karol Kuehn feels that lack of experience won't hold back new drive from this years team members. Al- though our team is small, we have the speed and strength to hold our own with the larger teams we ran against. stated Kuehn. The varsity girls team finished with a record of 0 wins and 10 losses while the varsity boys team also finished with an 0 and 10 record. The teams also ended their seasons with selecting the Most Valuable Players for 1985. The M.V.P. for Varsity girls was senior Karol Kuehn, while junior Denny Kim was se- lected M.V.P. for varsity boys. Although neither team lived up to their full poten- tial this year.

What would a school be with- out a winning football team, spirited cheerleaders, and the fans. The varsity football team saw a lot of action from the fans, the cheerleaders and even some ac- tion from other teams. Going into the season with some newly de- veloped muscles from a summer spent in the weight cage, and with second year coach, Paul Giambeluca, the Vikings had a good chance of a winning sea- son. This year they posted a 5-4 record. From every as- pect of the game this football team has talent. The offensive line included four senior letterman: co-captain Mike Fur- manski, who was also named Most Valu- able Player and All Conference player for two years, Howard Ankin, Rick Hor- witz, and Jamie Rabinowitz. The Vi- kings depended on the speed and cun- ning of returning running backs Joey Seidel and Brian Shaoul. On the defen- sive end, Mike Janchev and Jim Shana- han fought off the opposition, while Dave Hancock played quaterback. This talent led the Vikings to an upset victory over the Stevenson Patriots, the Warren Blue Devils and Mudelein. The first loss went to Lake Forest, but that didn't stop the Vikings. During the Teacher's Union Strike, the Vikings had to forfiet a game to winless North Chicago, but the team continued to practice even without the use of equipment or a coach. The first game following the Teacher's Union Strike was a victory, and set the mood for Homecoming weekend, during which North defeated the Fenton Bison. Following the Homecoming came the game against Libertyville. This game was to decide the North Suburban Confer- ence Champion. Unforunately the Vi- kings did not defeat Libertyville, but it was a close game. Even with this loss the Vikings still had the Viking Spirit.

The Sopho- more Football Team finished their sea- son with a record of 4 wins, 8 losses. Although the strike prevented them from reaching their goal of a winning season, they managed to go out of the season feeling victorious. We killed the last three teams ' wide receiver Steve Sand said, “so we went out of the season re- membering the wins. This fall did not start as power- fully as it started, but Coaches Dillon and Fickes taught the team skills that pulled the team up. The sophomores played an excellent passing game, scor- ing more touchdowns by passing rather than running. According to Sand, “We were probably the best passing team in Members of the Sophomore Football Team are: (BACK ROW LEFT TO RIGHT) Coach Dilon, Azim Ali, Jeremy Brown, Mitch Jacobson, Mike Dietz, Erik Slowik, Jim Benjamin, Coach Fickes; (MIDDLE ROW) Robert Spiro, Jeff Chalem, Yuri Stardubsky, Igor Levit, Steve Sand, Albert Young, Jeff Cohen; (FRONT ROW) Louis Loiben, Saul Lieberman, Ricky Garcia, Andy Levin. the conference. Of the two goals set for the Freshman Football Team in the 1985 season, only one of them was met. The first goal, win- ning as many games as possible, was not accomplished. The team finished the season with a win-less, score-less record. The second and more important goal set by Coach Poznansky was for the team to learn as much about football as possible. Although the Freshman Football players did not realize the responsibility that is part of building a good team, they tried their hardest to win every game. Coach Poznansky commented, “The kids had a lot of integrety. They were always fight- ing in games. Size definitely helped, as this year had one of the bigger Freshman teams. The guys had more height and weight than in past years. This aspect helped to make, in athlete Alan Satyr's opinion, the de- fense a strong point of the team. Al- though no games were won, the Fresh- man team was good. Satyr concluded, “We were a lot better than our record showed. A defensive player attempts to tackle the Niles North runningback.

Football — 149 FORE Young Team Has a Successful Season Though a record of 1 and 9 doesn't show that the 1985 varsity golf team had a good season, according to Coach Rusk, it was fairly successful. Coach Rusk stated There were a lot of close matches, seven of the nine were lost by a few strokes. Coach Rusk's big suprise was the sophomores' lead over the varsity team. Although Rusk did not antici- pate using Dean Tsaggaris on varsity, Tsag- garis turned out to lead the team at the end of the year with 622 strokes and was names most valuable player. Following Dean were Sophomore Howard Holowaty with 624 strokes, and Junior Michael Holowaty with 627 strokes. These three performed consistently throughout the season. In sectionals, Niles North's five member golf team defeated five other teams which played with six members. The team consisted of two juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman. Coach Rusk considered this final competition to have been the best played match all season. Coach Grant considered this year's 3 and 7 record fairly successful for the Frosh- Soph Golf team. Coach Grant thought the season successful because he lost his strongest players to the varsity team. The team's most consistent scorer this year was Tom O'Gorman, followed closely by Freshmen Steve Friedman, Andy Miles, Mike Gremley, Mike By- ron, Marc Silverman, and Bill Sikorski. Coach Grant commented that they all showed a great deal of potential, and he hopes for a big season next year. He also commented that the team made a great deal of improvement over the '84-'85 team.

Golf — 151 Seasons Losses Challenges Team Spirit If there was one comment to make about soccer it would have to be that soccer was a fast moving sport. There were many great soccer ath- letes like Pele, the famous Bra- zilian soccer star. At Niles North our star players were Ronald Farkas and Maurice Utschen who were elected to the All Conference Team. Ronald Farkas played four years of soccer for Niles North. Mauurice has also played four years of soccer. Even though skills were important in the game of soccer, so was team spirit. Though the Varsity teams' record of 2-16 was not outstanding, the team played each game with spirit and determina- tion. A good team record was only one ingredient in a successful season; enthu- siasm, commitment, and skills were what separated this team from other teams. Caryn Roskin, a student at Niles North said that the Boys Varsity Team, showed a lot of determination, coopera- tion, and most of all school spirit. I also wish the entire team good luck for the next season. Continuing on the Fresh- man B soccer team, Glen Pekofsky, a player on the team remarked that, the team was unique in that we always lost. Everytime our opponents score in- creased, our teams' skills increased. One thing that the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman teams had in common was that they showed a lot of school spir- it.

The varsity tennis team began the season with the advantage of having many returning players. That advantage provided them with more ex- perience in competition. Playing number one singles for the varsity team was Valerie Weiskirch, and number two singles was Gail Jones. Gail won the most valu- able player award for the team, and as Coach Field said, Gail always worked hard, hustled, and her determination won her games against some superior op- ponents. Playing on the doubles teams were Kelly Patt and Mario Kanter, Susan Cohen and Natasha Prager, Kanai Gusa and Stacey Fromm. The teams record was improved to five and six, and sent six players to the sectional tournament. Al- though the team struggled against such superior opponents as Libertyville, Lake Forest, and Stevenson, the team did very well, had fun, and as senior Natasha Prager said, It was nice being on a team that had such good spirit. I enjoyed mak- ing new friends. The Junior Varsity team also had a five and six record, com- ing in fourth place. The JV most valu- able player was Unah Shah. Next year there won't be many returning players on the varsity team, but the ones that do, are very experienced, and they should have a good advantage.

Inspite of their 1-12 record, sophomore Beth Tokowitz said We always tried and we never gave up no matter how tough things got. The most exciting part of the year came when after all of that practice, we beat Niles West, junior Stacey Rosen- berg added. And they did practice. Swimmers stayed after school for usually two hours after most other people were at home and they were back on Saturday morning. They did try to have fun at the practices though. Even Coach Balciulus was thrown in the pool to break up the monotony. The fact that the team didn't win much couldn't stop the fact that they had a great time together while at it. Captain Leslee Babetch stated the reason why she chose to be on the team for all four years of her high school career was because There's a kind of spirit here that bonds friends together and I'm glad to have been part of it. She later added, Even though the swimmers only won one meet, the divers had never lost one and I'm very happy for them. It's quite ob- vious that friendship plays an important role in the girl's swimming team. Senior Julie Tucker summed it perfectly when she said, I think the best part about being on the team is that everybody's basically one big family.

The Varsity Team went to the re- gional tourna- m e n t and played against the tough Evan- ston team, win- ning one of their games. Al- tough they did not win all their conference games, their scores gave the volleyball team a good feeling of accomplishment for the over-all season. At the beginning of the season other teams monopolized us, but toward the end we began winning because we final- ly took control over the teams stated Co-Captain of the Varsity Team Dale Loveless. The other Co-Captain Connie Kruit stated, I didn't feel we had enough teamwork, we had a lot of indi- vidual talent and we just couldn't put the talent together to win a few more games. Head coach Holly Smith said that illnesses of team members and the eight day teacher strike hurt the volley- ball season.

Girls Volleyball — 159 WE APPROACH Varsity Basketball Works Well Together For many of us basketball was a way of making it through the experience we call Niles North and for others basket- ball was the vicarious thrill of cheering our team on- ward. For Coach Chirstie and his players it was taking it, One day at a time. Coaches Chris- tie and Stewart have previously sparked the Niles North boys basketball team into being 1 in Confer- ence. Both coaches have continued that sucessful program which makes winners. With the help of the coaches and a great deal of optimism, enthusiasm, and confi- dence the 1985-86 squad received the support of the fans and derived addi- tional strength from the Niles North athletic program. Coach Christie has been a coach of high school basketball for twenty-one years, seventeen of these years was on the var- sity level. He stated that, this year's team was small in height, but quick on their feet. Although the team lacked height there was some continuity be- cause two of last years starters were back. The team wanted to be 500 for the sea- son. Characteristics of a good team are unselfishness, playing well together, and getting along on the court as well as off. If the players don't respect each other off the court, it will reflect on the court. A team needs to work well together in order to win. The Varsity team had a We approach, which made them work well together as a team. Coach Christie said that the We approach was how he felt the game should be played. The I approach prevented the team from working as a whole. One player does not make a team, the team working together makes it to the top. Before a team makes it to the top, they must win in state com- petition. This is considered by the coaches to be a second season. In state competition the process of elimination is used. For a team the end of a season is when state competition is finished, but for Coach Christie there will be another season. Michel Levine Coaches have always encouraged Iheir players to do their best.

Players of the game learned to pass, dribble, roll and throw the ball while not running with it. The hardest skill for these new players to learn was to work together. As soon as they learned to work well together, they were con- sidered to be a team. For the first time in the his- tory of Niles North the school had a Sophomore B team. Coach Bostic stat- ed, Now that we have a Sophomore B team more kids can come out for basket- ball. The more students that tryout, the more experience the team will have. I wish that the ball would have been in- side more and that the players caught more rebounds. The Sophomore team was lacking in passing and shooting skills, but the advantage they had was their height. The teams completed a to- tal of 36 games. The season provided op- portunity for development of skills which would strenghten the varsity bas- ketball team.

This years team lacks one key ingredient, Susan Hun- dreiser, that it had last year, but we still have Rocklin and Zazove. stated Coach Sokolski, The teams key player this year was Jill Rocklin, Rocklin was voted all- conference on uneven bars. In the con- ference meet, Rocklin finished fourth on Members of the Girls Varsity Gymnastics Team are: (BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Laura Zoot, Jill Rocklin, Chris Tichy, Eden Zazove, Joanne Litman, Debbie Solomon; (FRONT ROW) Su- zanne Sokol.

Girl's Gymnastics — 165 STAMINA Swimming Season Mediocre It was the strength of three individual swimmers that brought a degree of suc- cess to the 1985-86 team. The Boys' Var- sity Swim Team finished with a record of four wins and seven losses. Although there were not many victorious meets, a few strong swimmers kept the team afloat. Junior diver Matthew Wil- lens did well de- spite the fact that there was no diving coach. Senior Swimmer David Noe, the team captain and MVP held the team together. Noe was a quick sprinter who managed to break school records. He came very close to qualifying for the state meet. A new ad- dition to the swim team was Freshman Eric Salinger. Eric won several first places in the 500 yard freestyle. Sopho- more Josh Alsberg felt that inexperience and lack of spirit hurt the team. We were pretty motivated, but not totally psyched up, he said. There were only three seniors, so the team was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors. Head coach Joe Rusk commented that the loss of several swimmers hampered the team. The 1985-86 swimming season was, in Albergs opinion, mediocre . Whether a team had a good or bad season is not usually reflected in the record. Although the Boys' Junior Varsity Swim Team fin- ished with a five win, six loss record, it was, in Coach Balculius' opinion, a suc- cessful season. I'm pleased with the amount of progress the boys made , he stated. He felt that in addition to inprov- ing times and perfecting strokes, the guys learned a lot about themselves and how to be good team members. The atti- tude of the boys was impeccable , Balcu- lius remarked. Through intense wor- kouts, the swimmers worked up the strength, stamina, and skill required to beat a few good teams they had lost to in previous years. Coach Balculius com- mented, That gives evidence that a lot of hard work pays off.

Swimming — HAMPER SEA Team's Pride Remains Strong team would have done better. We lost a lot of people to accidents ' MVP Junior Alan Migdal went unhurt this season. Alan was noted several times for his out- standing abilities in wrestling. When asked about this outstanding wrestler, many team members noted him to be an asset to the whole team. Lack of partici- pation also contributed to the unsuccess- ful season this year. Many wrestlers had outside jobs that took up much of their time. It's hard to hold a job, go to school and be able to enjoy all the extra-cur- ricular activities. Patty Schaden Brian Jacobs Intense concentration helped to shape a wrestler's attitude. Robert Cadena prepares his attack on an opponent. Injuries took their toll on our team of Varsity Wrestlers. Several players were taken from the season with injuries. A lack in numbers of quality sportsmen was obvious during this year. Wrestlers such as Alan Migdal and Marshall Gold- smith gave much support to the rest of the uninjured team. While on the sidelines, Senior John Leal rested his sore leg and cheered on his teammates. Sen- ior Marshall Goldsmith said A lot of effort went into it (the team), but some- thing wasn't there. We just didn't do very well this year. Senior John Leal got the same feelings as Goldsmith did. If there weren't so many injuries the One of the first things the wrestlers learned was to get a quick start from the referee's position . Sen- ior Doug Baum takes advantage of his opponent. The wrestler learned many moves throughout the season. Dan Lee turns himself over to prevent a pin. 168 — Sports ' Wrestling — 169 Conferring with the coaches helped the wrestlers to plan a strategy.

The thrill of victory was the real reward for the wrestlers. After a tough match, Rick Horwitz is declared the winner. TEAM FLOURISHES Frosh J.V. Have winning seasons Junior Varsity and Freshman wrestling continued to flourish with an overall re- cord of nineteen wins, ten losses, and two ties. Dennis Fickes coached the freshman on to a satisfying first year season. Al Poz- nansky coached the Junior Var- sity team with the help of his brot her,a nd Niles North coach, Steve Poznansky, Dennis Fickes, and William Collins. These four coaches brought th J.V. season to a successful finish. The team ended up with a ten win - six loss record. This season was the last for Seniors Chad Lewis, Tom Mangoni, and heavyweight Marshall Goldsmith. Most of the other wrestlers have planned to go out for the team again next year. Outstanding wres- tlers were Chad Lewis and Tom Man- goni. Being seniors, these two will not have a chance to go out for the Varsity team in the winter, but they will gra- duate with the thought that they contri- buted a lot to the 85-86 season.

W'restling — 171 TEAM New Coach Added to Program The 85-86 Girl's Basketball Team had a rebuilding season, according to head Coach Holly Smith. With the addition of J. V. and assistant varsity Coach Kathy Meyers to the basketball program, the team worked on the basic skills of the game. The new Coach Kathy Meyers, who coached during the sum- mer at the Doug Bruno Gi r Is Basketball Camp, said after seeing alot of players at the camp I thought we would be very competitive ' During the season Meyers took advantage of the team's quicknesss and used a press de- fense to compensate for the team's small size. Meyers expected dedication, skill, attendance, and effort from the girls. Smith felt that having Meyers on the girls basketball program was an advan- tage for the team. With her knowledge of coaching we looked forward to a good season. Defense having been a weakness and playing against their toughest oppo- nent Libertyville, the team still managed to have a good season. Junior Patty Sikorski, Seniors Leslie Ba- betch, and Susan Huech were the promi- nent players on the team, each getting the most rebounds and longshots of the season.

Girls Basketball — 173 BOWLING TEAM STRIKES AGAIN Team Increases Performance coached and gave pointers to the new team members and supported them through every match. Due to the Varsity team, consisting mostly of Seniors, next year they may not be a team depending on new recruits and interests. Coach Hoffman wanted to improve the players performance and did this through evalu- ation of the teams techniques. The team hoped to become a strong and spirited sport at North. Dan Sera Members concentrated on rolling techniques. Mi- chele Levine and Melissa Dcssent bowl side by side. Players spirits were always high.

One, two, three strikes and one is not out. In Bowling, strikes are just what one wants and the Girl's Bowling team made many strikes. There was a junior and varsity team; the varsity consisting of mostly seniors. On game days, the team would leave right af- terschool and play at Oakton Bowl. The sea- son went well with a balance of wins and losses. The team was generated with spirit which was evident at every game. Their cheers from a strike could be heard from the opposite end of the bowling alley. Ms. Hoffman encouraged and corrected player's performances.

Candids — 177 The faculty is a highly committed part of Niles North High School. Often, one will find teachers who are willing to come early or stay late in order to help the students. The teachers themselves are highly dedicated to the process of educa- tion as a whole. It is exactly this type of commitment that has meant a history of success and reputation for excellence for the students of Niles North. Frequently, the commitment of the fac- ulty extends beyond the academic edu- cation of the students. Many faculty members host Open House Night, coach athletic teams, direct theatrical produc- tions, advise class boards, and supervise the many extracurricular clubs. The prominent basketball team and active Student Congress were just a few exam- ples of the faculty-advised activities that did well this past year. Many teachers have returned to school to continue their own educations, conse- quently providing the most current methods of instruction. Administrators, also, have attended numerous seminars and watched video tapes on time man- agement in the classroom and advanced administration techniques. Niles North continues to be a forerun- ner in education with a faculty that maintains their high standards. Stu- dents, teachers, and, administrators have helped make this a reality. Kimberly Pamper Members of the Board of Education are: (BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT) Mr. Saul Wiener, Mrs. Gail Stone, Mrs. Karen Honig, Mrs. Marlene Aderman, Mr. Shelly Marcus; (FRONT ROW) Mr. Martin Tiersky, and Superintendent, Dr. James Erick- son. What has fourteen legs and was essential to the well-being of the school? The District 219 Board of Education. The Board consisted of four men and three women. The members were elected publicly to serve a four- year term. It met twice a month, but the job entailed much more than bi-monthly meetings. Extensive time and effort was volun- teered to make the district run smoothly. Upholding the fine quality of education was just one of the many concerns of the Board. It was also involved with hiring new personnel, instituting new policies, questioning the effectiveness of old ones, and maintaining open lines of communica- tion with the community it served. This last point became especially important during the eight-day teacher's union strike. Meetings, held at Central Offices, were open to the public, and throughout the year attendance was marked by several teach- ers, parents, students, and club representatives. Continued decreasing enrollment and an increas- ing budget cloud the district's future, but with an effective school board these problems are sure to be handled well.

He has devoted himself to the Distributive Education Clubs of America at both the school and state levels for fifteen years. Mr. Coulson was honored as the State Educator of the Year (1984-85) for Marketing and Distributive Education. Although this award was expected, it was well-deserved; after all, he has led his students to over two hundred local, state, and national awards for excellence. I've seen my students re- ceive awards for fifteen years, and now I know how they feel. A business degree with emphasis an marketing and management, along with a good background in typical business courses is a good preparation for teaching Distributive Education, according to Mr. Coulson. His several degrees, including a Masters of Business Administration for Rosary College (Il- linois), leave him well-qualified for the job. One did not have to search deep to find his obvious commitment to the club and its ideals, and the satisfaction he derives from it.

Phillip Mankoff, Psychologist After leaving Niles North in 1965, Marla Cowan took a few years to see the world before she re- turned. Mrs. Cowan was a member of the school's first graduating class and is currently on staff as a Spanish teacher. Mrs. Cowan received her M.A. from the Universi- ty of Illinois, where she took advantage of its Ju- nior Year Abroad program. She lived in France and experienced the most fabulous year of my life, while earning college credit. She notes that, when learning a foreign language, there is no substitute for living with people, and strongly recommends this for others who want to know and understand a foreign language. In addition to France, she has visited England, Greece, Israel, and Switzerland. She has no favor- ite, though, as choosing a favorite would be like picking between chocolate and vanilla. Every place has something good. Mrs. Cowan added that her travels are not unique as many teachers in the Foreign Language Department have been to sever- al foreign countries. Mrs. Cowan's international experiences have, no doubt, made an impression on her, but it's obvious there's no place like home, because she loves her job just as much as any country she has visited.

Nikki Zarefsky, SAGE Virginia Ziebarth, Data Processing Laurie Zucker, Speech Mike Deutsch used more than mere textbooks to teach his beginning and advanced Automechanics classes; he used horse sense. He was not interested in horses as a mode of transportation, but rather as a creature of grace, strength, and beauty. Mr. Deutsch, along with his wife, owned a ten-acre farm where they trained and raised horses. He also trained and rode horses for horse trials. Horse trials are a form of Olypmic Three-Day Eventing as seen in the 1984 Summer Olympics, Mr. Deutsch explained. Eventing, he continued, consists of three different disciplines Dres- sage, Cross Country Jumping, and Stadium Jump- ing. His trot into the arena began simply when a friend suggested they go for a horseback-ride, and From that day on riding has become a passion in my life, said Mr. Deutsch. That can be taken both figuratively and literally, because he met his wife while riding. Mr. Deutsch has trained with some of the best, including Olympic riders and coaches and mem- bers of the very prestigious Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Back in the classroom, Mr. Deutsch tried to instill in his students the positive principles involved in horse training: Enormous amounts of discipline, patience, organization, and goal orientation. Faculty — 187 The tone rang and suddenly the halls of Niles North were filled with students. Every one of them was different, but they all shared a common goal. They all wanted to get as much out of their high school years as possible. Success meant different things to differ- ent people. For the ''jock types, success could have been breaking a record or just making the team. Students more inter- ested in theater may have strived to win a starring role, or the position of stage manager. The more serious students may have seen success as an A on a test or paper, or a 5 on an APP exam. For many, success was a clearly paved road to the future. Students also tried to enjoy life out of school. Time spent with friends was quality time for most people. It was time to escape from the pressures of school. Teenagers could be found at the movies or at the theatre, at the beach or the pool, on the court or on the field, or at McGreevy's or Medusa's- but no matter where they chose to be, they were there to enjoy themselves. The diversity of Niles North's students made this school more than an institu- tion to learn from books, but a lesson in life.

The transition was also eased by an assortment of sports and clubs. In addition to raising spirit for the 1985 Homecoming, the Board won twenty-five dollars for their decorated car. The Freshmen Class Board began paving the long road to presenting the 1988 Prom by sponsoring various fundraisers throughout the year.

He said that the squad was made up of too many individuals and not enough team , but that improved as they approached their last game. Homework and grades were not affected by his being involved with a sport. In addition to playing football, he planed on going out for basketball. Like many freshmen, Brian had found it easy to continue the sports program from junior high into high school.

Collecting baseball cards b something many kids do, But not ever- ybody has a Reggie Jackson card which is worth $80, said Collender. Brian started collecting baseball cards when he was ten years old and now has a collec- tion valued over $2000. Brian's father brought him the first box of cards, which got him hooked on his collecting. Brian commented, Baseball card collecting b like investing. You spend a few dollars now and in ten years or so, the card is worth a fortune. Pete Rose's rookie card could have been bought for a nickel in 1964, when Niles North opened, but in 1986 it is worth over $300. Brian hopes that rookie star cards, such as Dwight Gooden's, will appreciate the same way. As the years go on, Brian's investment will grow.

Shari was a sophomore who competed in all three seasons of the Niles North sports program. Shari ran on Cross Country and was awarded All- Conference Player, Shari played last year and was the only freshman on the Varsity team. During the spring-time she played Varsity Soccer. I excelled the most in soccer, Shari stated. Shari won All-Conference and was also nominated on the Illinois All-State. I've been play- ing with local park district soccer teams for the past eight years commented Shari, I don t know what it is, I just enjoy the game so much. Shari stated that Niles North girls have the ability to win the North Suburban Conference. Our hardest competition comes from Libertyville. Even though Shari was very active in school sports, she was still able to make the honor roll. Looking towards the future, Shari hopes to go to a college that has a soccer team.

Jeff’s interests turns to tennis in the spring. During the off season, Jeff tried to visit the weight cage as much as possi- ble, but life wasn't all fun and games. Jeff had to spend three hours a night in serious study to keep his grade point average where he wanted it. Considering that Jeff was enrolled in Honors Chem- istry, 2nd year Honors Spanish, Calculus B.C., Honors English, and Orchestra, it was surprising that he didn't spend more time studying.

Academically this meant taking the SAT, PSAT, and ACT exams. During this year, most students turned 16 and were able to drive. Not only was junior year a time for serious studying, it was also the year for emphasizing an active social life. Junior Class Board was just one way to show support for the class and have fun doing it. The main purpose of Junior Class Board was to raise money for the Junior and Senior Prom. This past year the Junior Class Board held a garage sale, sold Christmas candy and Valentine carnations to raise money. Class officers Becky Levin, Amy Stew- art, Kim Kossoff and Alan Hirsch organized all board activities, and promised Niles North a suc- cessful Prom '86.

Seniors — 221 BARDLNBHTI-VN TO BOTE Student Academically Ahead Guess who always has a sunny smile on her face, is always laughing and is will- ing to help someone if they need it? That's right: Senior Nancy Chang. This little lady is fun to be around, she's al- ways got a good outlook on life, and is plainly a really nice person. Academical- ly, Nancy may be ahead of some people, otherwise she is always right with us. Currently Nancy is taking four A.P. courses including Chemistry, European History, English, and the Physics A.P. course at Niles West. Nancy considers her best subject to be either math or sci- ence, When asked why, she said, These courses come easier to me than writing an essay. Nancy is involved with other activities beside school work, such as Na- tional Honor Society, Medical Club, Math Team, Student Leadership,' and this year she is editor of Calliope. Re- cently Nancy has been in the public's eye concerning her perfect S.A.T. score of 1600. She was interviewed on Chan- nels 2 and 7 and talked about in many areas of the country. Nancy really did not prepare much for the test, except to upgrade her vocabulary by looking up words she did not know. When asked how she thought she might do, Nancy replied, I took the test and thought I did okay. I thought maybe I would place somewhere in the l500's. Nancy is not sure what is going to happen after high school. She has yet to make a final deci- sion regarding where and what she is going to study. Some people might think that Nancy would be aloof because she is so smart, but Nancy is a very down to earth person who has a good head on her shoulders and can always find some- thing to laugh about.

The winner of the scholarship will receive four years of tu- ition to the college of his choice. David stated that spending extra time on studies outside of school and reading many literary works not required by his classes contributed to his academic suc- cess. He is very self-motivated. I see some of my friends being pushed to do well and get into a certain school by their parents. I'm glad my parents have not put that kind of pressure on me, David said. David thinks he would like to major in Chemistry at the University of Chicago or Northwestern University. Outside of school, David enjoys many social activities. He is an avid tennis player and an active participant in his church's youth group and its orchestra.

He has participated in baseball and re- mains an outstanding member of the football team, but basketball is his main interest. In junior high, Joey was an average player, in fact, he wasn't even good enough to make the seventh grade team. Joey got his mind and body in tune to the game in high school, and was honored as an All-conference player of last year's winning basketball team. His most outstanding basketball mem- ory is the Niles North win over Liberty- ville in 1984. As a junior he contributed to the victory by scoring 31 points and capturing 15 rebounds. Not only was it North's first-time defeat of the Wildcats, but it was also Joey s birthday! What does Joey have to say about athle- tic experience?

The trip was orga- nized by Betar, a Jewish youth group, and students from many different states participated in this trip that went to the Coral Islands, the southern part of Israel. The tour boat was off the coast of the Coral Island when an Eygptain Navy boat rammed into the tour boat that Becky was on. The boat started to sway when the navy boat rammed the tour boat again this time causing it to nearly capize. The tour boat sped away before anything else happened. Becky was told Michel Levine that this has happened before; in fact, a few days previously, rifels had been pointed at the tour boat. When Becky arrived home, she wrote a letter to the Senate about her experience. Senator Paul Simon answered her letter by say- ing that what happened was very upset- ting, especially when Eygpt is friendly with Israel. Becky's personal reson for writing the letter and desribing her ex- periences was that she wanted to make people aware of how bad the situation in Eygpt is for innocent tourists. v ii 242 — Seniors Sherri Olefsky Salvatore Oliveri Alice Ortega Madeline Oton Milton Pagan Tracy Paige Jin Pak Kimberly Pamper Paresh Patel Kelly Patt Lisa Pekofsky Robin Peller Predrag Petrovic Leslie Pfeifer Minh Pham Neal Plotnik Adams Poders Laura Pomerantz ■■■I Hallways were places to meet people.

To people who don't know much about karate, it may appear to be just a bunch of jumping around, but as Jordon Scott says, Karate isn't just a bunch of jumping around , it's an art that needs many years of practice to be- come good at . Jordon Scott has been practicing for many years and has be- come good at it. For six years, Jordon has been training at the North Shore Mar- tial Arts Academy. During that time he has acheived the goal of black belt, the highest belt in karate, in both the Kore- an form of karate Tae-Kwon-Doe, and Adam Gotskind the Japanese form Sho-Do-Con. Not only does Jordan train and improve his skills in the sport, he also competes. In the 1984 State Karate Tournament he placed first, and in 1986 he took second. One of his most exciting achievements in Karate was being one of twenty-five black belts to try-out to compete for the Maccabia Carnes in Isreal. Lately Jor- dan's main interest has been to teach the sport, and to train to try to compete in the Pan-American Games in 1988. 246 — Seniors Lisa Sandman Jim Saraceno Susan Satyr Phillip Sauer Margaret Scanlon Lisa Scavone Michael Schacter Patricia Schaden Edward Schenk Ingrid Schensema Stacy Schiff David Schimmel Curt Schlesinger Jill Schneider Pam Schreiber Gregg Schwartz Jordan Scott Carla Seifert Daniel Sera William Sera Georgia Serigos Bijal Shah Vaishali Shah Brian Shaoul Seniors — 247 The cafeteria was a great spot for students to cat lunch, relax and talk to friends.

Hope enjoys the weekly challenge of expressing her views in an art form. Cartooning, however, is not the extent of Hope's artistic ability. She enjoys working with many art media. Her favorite artists are Van Gogh and DaVinci. Hope has been drawing almost all her life, including taking special les- sons when she was eight.

Friends and fun were what high school included besides schoolwork. Audrey Perez and Dan Stevens enjoy a break between classes. Graphic Design was an advanced level art course. Seniors who enjoy the class include Karol Kuehn, Susan Sommers, and Junior Lainie Feldstein. Senior gym leaders lead their class in physical activities. Dave Rubens shows the class the proper sit-up position. Physical education classes were sometimes the most fun times in the students' busy day. Senior Laura Zaransky practices an aerobic routine. Senior Index — 257 Empty lockers, quiet hallways, and va- cant classrooms became the symbol of a special time, the end of another school year. Throughout the days, lockers were decorated, hallways were used, and class- rooms were filled with the minds of the future. Finishing the school year meant more than an empty building. It was the conclusion of a meaningful and valuable experience. Friendships were made that would last for years. Knowledge was ac- quired that would be important to future endeavors. Each of the four classes of students looked forward to the future: Seniors would further their education or decide to support themselves with a career: Ju- niors anticipated a final year of high school during which they would be the leaders: Sophomores, half way into their high school experience enjoyed the pros- pect of becoming an upper classman: Freshmen dreamt about the excitement of three more years at Niles North. 1985-86 school year had ended. The clos- ing of the academic year was not totally an ending, it was a start, the beginning of the future. 258 — Closing Adam Stone Closing - 259 Again, another school year had passed. Many events have taken place. The plays, of a who-dun- nit to the first ever Frosh Soph play, the Gong Show, the Toga Dance, the eight day Teacher's Union Strike, and the victory at the homecoming game. To observe and record these activities was the job of the 1986 Saga staff. As editor, many responsibilities were placed upon me. The ever present worry over the next dealine, whether or not pictures had been scheduled and taken, keeping track of all the pages that were assigned to the staff were all constant sources of anxiety. But I was not alone with these concerns. With the support of the staff, we made it possible to document all the events and return it to our fellow classmates in the form of the 1986 yearbook. At the beginning of the year, the staff learned that we would be working entirely on computers for the production of the 1986 Saga. This meant that everyone would have the added responsibility of maintaining and working with their own work disk, getting used to operate the Josten's Micro- Graphix Series Word Processor Program and enter- ing all their pages and information on a final data disk. Gone were the simple days of the typewriter! There was a special closeness among the staff this year. It truly contributed to developing and bring- ing out the theme of “Up-Close and Personal. Mr. Dennis Grabowski, our advisor, I want to thank you for supporting my decisions, even when they weren't exactly what you had in mind for the book, and for the many suggestions you gave to make this yearbook special. You stood behind me and gave me the courage to handle a production as big as this. Thanks for being a real friend. Ms. Ellen Peirce, thank you for slugging it out with the computer and winning. You were a real help with completing the underclass section of the book. Mr. Dennis Eder, thank you for checking and re- checking to make sure that our decisions were ex- actly what we wanted. Thank you for your pa- tience. Cindy Dikeman. our fearless computer editor, you always had the answer to our many “computer- ized questions. Your spending many hours burn- ing up the 800 hotline to Josten's Micro-Graphix Computer Center for answers to our complex ques- tions is greatly appreciated. Thanks also goes to William Sera, Dan Sera, Be- linda San Juan, Dennis Sanchez and Cyndi Age- mura You guys were always there when some- thing needed to be worked on, or when we needed to get pages off to the company. Thanks for all your hard work afterschool. To the rest of the staff, thanks for helping to make Up-Close and Personal a reality. To the student body, remember: that out of chaos comes a yearbook, and that's the truth! I hope you enjoy and appreciate the 1986 Saga for many years to come.
