For twenty-three years the halls of Niles North glittered with spirit, but during 1986-87 a unique sense of pride filled the school Each student and faculty member found a reason to be proud Many students earned recognition for outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, and the arts Eighteen graduates of 1987 received honors from the National Merit Scholarship Program In the spring of 1986. twenty six students were initiated into the Spanish National Honor Society and twenty four students into the French National Honor Society In competition, the Mathematics Team ranked eighth in the state of Illinois, and DECA students won sixteen state level awards Forty-four band and orchestra members received 1 (superior) ratings in Solo and Ensemble categories at Northwestern University competitions. In athletics, this year was a winner For the first time in Niles North history, the Varsity Football Team took first place in the North Suburban Conference, proudly putting the Vikings into playoffs The 1986 Boys' Gymnastics Team finished third in state, and twenty athletes in spring sports were named All-Conference Players The nursery was converted into a weight room, open to all the Vikings interested in getting into shape Throughout the year high achieving students and faculty members were honored with the titles of 'Student or Teacher of the Month or Viking of the Week Being recognized for accomplishments on a school wide or even state wide level was obviously a reason to be proud But often those small, personal achievements were every bit as rewarding. One senior was proud because he finally memorized the quadratic formula, while the ‘A on a sophomore girl’s fate Of Two Cities test lifted her spirits. Two freshmen gleamed upon seeing their names on the cast list tor the spring musical, and a |umor girl squealed to her friends when that gorgeous senior guy asked her out. Special moments like these made the days at Niles North a little bit brighter Daily personal interactions also contributed to Viking Pride. Socializing was an important activity tor everyone. Relationships between a coach and his team, a counselor and a student, or and an administrator and a teacher were iust a few examples of the many necessary personal ties at Niles North These interactions kept the school running Friendships and achievements, big and small, were the ingredients for pride in the 1986-87 school year Students will always remember: We are Vikings and we are proud! lacki Greenberg Karyn Friedman 2 — PROUD TO BE A VIKING Return Nervousness And Excitement: The Emotions Felt As We Returned To School. At the end of August. Viking stu- dents picked up their books for school. Getting books proved to be an easy task. Mrs. Barbra Bass, who was in charge of the Niles North bookstore, felt that the new book system worked very well. The new system allowed students to choose the books they wanted so that everyone had an opportunity to choose books without marks. Students tended to appreciate this new book system. Getting books this year was really easy,” re- marked senior Leah Borkovitz, It wasn't a hassle like in past years. ' After receiving their books, stu- dents stored them in recently painted lockers. Freshmen and sophomores were assigned locker partners; Juniors and seniors ap- preciated their own lockers. Sen- iors had the advantage of lockers on the first floor. Niles North stu- dents made their lockers as hom- ey as possible by using pictures, mirrors, memo boards, colorful crates, and contac paper. After getting their lockers in order, students were prepared to start school. Summer was over and it was time to resume life at Niles North. Clubs and teams were ready for active participants. Vikings were eager and nervous to begin their school year. I'm spending the next four years of my life at Niles North exclaimed freshman Stacey Skolnik, and I intend to make them the best. Amy Pellman ing Waiting in line to check out your books was often a time consuming task. However, getting them was much easier this year compared to past years. Buses were the most common form of transportation. Ruth Rosenberg smiles as she looks forward to a new day of school. During all free time, especially lunch time, students flocked to the cafeteria to eat, socialize, or do some homework. Here hungry stu- dents wait eagerly in line for their lunch. Decorated lockers were popular be- cause they reflected the individual and were much nicer and brighter than undecorated lockers. Junior Debbie Torres and sophomore Lu- ciano DiFilippo show off this excit- ing locker. BACK TO SCHOOL - 5 1986 brought many new fads, and Niles North saw quite a few. In the morning on a typical school day, students hurried to get to class before the 8 o'clock tone. On the drive to school, new fads were dis- covered. Amusing to some and an- noying to others, the popular “Baby on Board signs stuck to the rear windows of many cars. To guarantee a cool car, some stu- dents displayed sun shades in the windshields. Cars, however, were not the only transportation to school. Larger-sized skateboards some costing more than $80, pro- vided a fun way for students to get where they were going- without needing a license. Speaking of li- censes, 1986-87 was the year of the bright red photo with under 21 stamped across all teenagers' cards. Trends for school featured hoop earrings for girls and smaller stud earrings for guys. Crew cuts and mohawks were also the style for many unassuming guys this year. After school, students unwound in front of a t.v. and watched their favorite performers singing for an admirable cause, such as Live Aid, Farm Aid, and Hands Across Ameri- can. Several North students not only enjoyed watching these var- ious concerts but became involved in them as well. Some kinds either pledged money or actually partici- pated in these events. A night’s entertainment for some students was one of the popular John Hughes' teen movies. The movies, (Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Buehler’s Day Off) had even more signifi- cance to North students because some scenes were actually filmed here at Niles North. 1986-87 brought many new fads that came and went, but being proud of the purple and white will be at Niles North forever. Jan Velco The football bashes were a fun way to get together with friends. Louis loiben, Steve Malloy, Eric Slowik. Mark Tober. Ben Laser, Jeff Rasof. Cary Shimmd. and Lenny Bernstein flaunt their trendy new hair cuts Niles North got into the sprint of the new fitness trend. An earlybird gym class shapes up and sheds pounds on the exercise bikes in the new fitness room. On those humid school days when you would have rather been at the beach, cars in the Niles North parking lot got hot and muggy But by having sun shades in the windshield, this car keeps its cool. Niles North saw many new fads in fashion this year Senior Russell Chaffee wears a lams shirt, one of the most colorful trends of the year. Although the Baby on Board signs were the most popular, stores were quick to parody this serious caution. This is just one example of the humorous warnings FADS AND TRENDS - 7 . N9es North students battle the obstacles of the “academic zone”. Ach Shhh! The hushed tone of the li- brary was disturbed by the rustling of papers and the shuffling of books as Niles North students raced against the ticking of time. Suddenl. a cry of anxiety shattered the atmosphere. I can't study, my mind is about to explode, blurted Junior Joon Jae Shin. Have you ever felt this way? Did you ever ask yourself Why study? What’s the use? A majority of Niles North's students have shared the feeling, but have overpowered it and suc- ceeded in the dark and dismal place known as the academic zone. What was the academic zone? It was hard to define. According to Viking Principal Thomas Giles, Ex- ceptional, expected, and outstand- ing” described Niles North’s aca- demic achievements. Giles believed in recognizing students for their accomplishments, and celebrated with them during the new Honors Breakfast. Achievers were com- mended in all areas of our aca- demic program. These people were acknowledged by teachers, admin- istrators, or adults outside the building. Principal Thomas Giles who planned this event, concluded I believe in doing anything to rec- ognize these people, as long as I can afford it. Accelerating in academics and plac- ing eighth in the state, the Math Team was on top of the ladder. Sophomore Miriam Baron com- ments, It was the best we did, and next year’s goal is striving to do even better. From an outside opinion, Junior Rowena Gualberto stated, I want the experience of taking the math tests for my future career, but not to participate in state competition. Parlez-vous francais? or Se Habla Espanol? Over fifty students were initiated into the French and Span- ish National Honor Society. The Spanish students participated in a formal ceremony. The ceremony in- cluded a speech given by Mrs. Park, a slide show, a ritual of can- dles, a recited oath, and the award by a certificate of recognition given by Principal Giles. The French teachers established a French Honor Society or Societe Honor air e de Francais to reward students who have attained high scholastic standards, and stimulate interest in the study of French. If a student wanted to become a candi- date, he or she must maintain an A- average or higher during the se- mester of selection and have com- pleted three semesters of French. An initiation ceremony was includ- ed and dinner was held in a French restaurant in April or May The National Honor Society wel- comed seniors Jolane Abramt, Max Bernstein, Dan Glickman, Jin Hui Joo, Ashlesha Kharwadkar.

Niles North was filled with a sense of pride and involve- ment. Lisa Alvarez, a junior, stated, “The clubs and activities I attend give me a sense of school spirit. Our school is a combination of all kinds of people from all different back- grounds. who are able to share mutal interests and support in our school. “Involvement in team activities ac- complishes personal goals and builds the reputation of Niles North, commented one student. Senior Wendy Chung stated,“Being on the varsity volleyball team not only relaxes me, but excites me with a sense of pride and school spirit. Anne Schenk, another proud stu- dent said, “Track gives me a sense of school spirit as well as belonging to a ‘family.’ Being on a team was not restricted to athletics. Project Lead. Art Club, Auroris, and Homecoming were just a few of the spirited activities which made it easier to get in- volved. Project Lead acquainted the incom mg Freshmen with the building and gave them confidence and support. “ Our goal is to give the new stu- dents the opportunity to know our school and to meet new people. I really enjoy being on Project Lead. It took a lot to get it all together and I think it was a big success, remarked Debbie Torres. The Art Club expressed their spirit by designing a mural depicting a lunch break at our school. Their mural brightened up the west cafe- teria considerably. Auroris was a club in which one could experience and experiment with new dance steps, a club in which one could get involved. “To- getherness is what unites us. With- out togetherness and cooperation, we would not have been able to accomplish anything,” comented Karen Cedeno. The Homecoming Parade was a colorful event. Many students used their talents to create a collage of colors. The floats were built ac- cording to the theme “Hunt the Hawks and our swinging Vikings did their best to advertise our school spirit. Clubs and activities allow you the opportunity to set goals, and use your talents to achieve them. Let your spirit soar, and get involved! Tanya Schensema Matthew Feldman, Joeseph Sternberg.

One didn't have to be an athlete to be a part of the purple and white fashion Senior David Sadkin shows off his Viking vest. Walking into the east cafeteria on a Friday before a football or basket- ball game, your entire vision was bound to be overwhelmed by pur- ple and white. Vikettes, cheer leaders, and Northern Lights wore their uniforms and promoted school spirit. Junior cheerleader Stacy Friedman stated, “Wearing our uniforms reminds people that there’s a game.” Football players also wore their jerseys. Junior Seth Novoselsky said that it also pro- motes unity and brings people out to the games. It psyches us up, looks good, and lets people know who’s playing, he added. Uniforms weren’t the only purple and white fashion seen at Niles North. This year Niles North princi- pal l r Thomas Giles gave sweater vests to the executive board of Student Congress and the class boards. This is a great idea and gets people who aren't involved athletically to participate in school spirit, explained Student Congress president David Sadkin Niles North jackets were another maior purple and white fashion. Some had their first names embroi- dered on the front of the front of the jacket with a club or sport transfer or a plain Niles North patch on the back. Different ones had a small transfer in front with their last names on the back. This was mostly seen among football and basketball players. As June rolled around, the final purple and white fashion of the year was presented. Sitting in the stands looking down at the football field on that special day, purple and white was the dominant color combination. Graduation was cele- brated by hundreds of students wearing purple and white gowns. The school colors combined with fashion gave a common link to Niles North. Purple and white is to Niles North as red, white, and blue is to America.” commented senior Adam Fleischer. Sherrie Silver Purple and white were only a frac- tion of the fashion seen at Niles North. This year denim was popu- lar. Levis jean jackets were worn by many guys and girls. Bleached or tie-dyed jeans or denim mini skirts, worn with the very popular balloon tops and long sweaters, were usually dressed up by silver and gold accessories. From ear rings to purses to belts to shoes, silver and gold were the most popu- lar colors this year.

Locations where students gathered involved the theater room, band room, and the weight room. In the morning, the theater crowd gath- ered in room N142. Why did stu- dents meet there? Senior Ed Muss- man told it best,'‘Everyone can be themselves and not worry about others' opinions. Niles North band room was not a typical band room. Over the years, it has become a place for students to practice their instruments and also a place to study, socialize, or listen to music. The band room was always open and students went there before school, during their free time, and after school. Junior Marlis Duglow descibes it as, a home away from home.” Vikings used the weight room after school to meet a chal- lenging goal. Becoming physically fit, striving for endurance, or mak- ing new friends were reasons for spending time there. A competitive relationship with a friend provided someone to help with training. Teams used the facilities to train but Senior Jay Bolotin expressed a different of view. It is a place to even if you are not involved in a sport. It also provides constuctive help from an instructor. Off cam- pus. there were many places where students gathered. During lunch and after school, students met at Old Orchard to eat and shop. After football or basketball games, stu- dents stopped by Me Donalds on Dempster and Skokie Blvd. When students really wanted to get away from the school scene, they drove downtown to Ed Debevic's.A res- traunt which opened in 1985. De- bevics became a popular place to eat and have a good time. Waiting to get in was long, but most stu- dents believe it was worth it. The atmosphere was 50's and the atti- tude was no excuses. If the wait is too long there's another Ed Debevic’s in Arizona, states one sign. Hanging out, in or out of school, was an important activity of the Niles North student body. Whether they were socializing, working out. or studying, students all needed space away from teach- ers and parents.

HANGING OUT — 15 Because of the participation of a large number of students, a wide variety of athletic teams were of- fered. Sophomore volleyball player, Mari Rivera felt that the students on these teams have a lot of ability, and they must cooperate with their teammates. All of the members show team spirit and pride in their school by spending most of their free time during a particular season training, encour- aging each other, and rooting each other on. The teams also stick to- gether to help each other out, on the field and off.” discipline because you have to show up at practices, and take care of yourself by keeping in shape.” During practices the gym nasts try to perfect their routines, but during meets they strictly con- centrate on doing their best. In order to prepare for an athletic competition, it was necessary to mentally “psyche up” as well as to be physically fit. Athletes psyched up by talking to their coaches, talk- ing to themselves, and doing short cheers together. Fire Let’s Go All the Way Varsity football player, senior Josh Brustin felt that the best part of football was the friendships that are developed. Even though the practices are tough, and there is a lot of pressure, it’s very worth- while. and it usually comes out well in the end.” Junior Lara Zoot felt that the gym- nastic team taught her a great deal. “It teaches responsibility and Any player of a team sport who made All-Conference was acknowl- edged by having his or her picture displayed on the Viking Wall of Fame outside the gymnasium.

This scene was slightly delayed this year due to the asbestos discovery in the auditorium ceiling. When the construction was finished, our per- formers were ready and waiting. Throughout the year, the various performing groups in school served to entertain audiences as well as provide a creative outlet for those involved. Senior Debbie Gordon en- joyed performing because, It’s creative, and it helps me forget about the pressures of school for awhile. The benefits of performing didn’t end when rehearsal was over or the curtain descended. Working in close, daily contact with fellow mu- sicians, dancers, or actors pro- vided for close friendships and a terrific social outlet. This year, in addition to several m-school perfor- mances. the bands traveled to New York, the orchestras to Philadel- phia, the Thespians and Auroris Dance Club to Champaign, and the choirs sang at neighborhood senior citizen homes. The time commitment involved in rehearsing for a concert or play was intense, often including re- hearsals before and after school, as well as class time and evenings. Hours of dedication were rewarded in the final presentations. Mr. Jerry Proffit, theatre director, encour- aged students to perform in order to, ... experience the pleasure of the creative process while work- ing toward a finished, polished product.” That finished, polished product was the driving force that made our Vikings PROUD TO PER- FORM!

The facilities available at Niles North provided opportunities for students to expand themselves in each of these areas of living. Clink, clink, clink. Pop. Fizz. Gulp. Ahh! Kids drank pop from as early as AAA until the last sport practice was over. The new student pop machine was installed outside the west cafeteria. Now instead of sneaking into the teachers’ lounge during lunchtime students bought their pop without the fear of being caught. Student Congress presi- dent. David Sadkin explained that half the profits from the pop would be given to Principal Thomas Giles to be spent on special activities for students, clubs, and teachers. The other half of the revenues went to the Student Congress grant fund. Another money making social spot could be smelled and heard from down the hall. You could almost taste its contents too. For popcorn, pop. and music, the concession stand was the place to be. Usually open from 1:30 to 3:15, there was always a bunch of people munch- ing. The money made from selling munchies went to the various groups that ran the stand. Social life was not only restricted to the school grounds. Sopho- mores, juniors, seniors, and even some sneaky freshmen went off campus. Students left to “get away from school for a while,” said sen- ior Bari Tessler. who often visited Bumpkins on her breaks. Working out for sports teams or just for themselves was made easy by the addition of the fitness room. The fitness room and the relocated weight room made up the Viking Fitness Center. The $28,000 im- provement was made after two years of planning and visits by Frank Houlihan and Coach Darrell Conway to Joliet Junior College, which was used as a model for the Niles North fitness room. Equip- ment was purchased so that stu- dents and staff could get in shape, and to make it as easy as possible. Gym classes were scheduled into the fitness room for one of the three week units of physical educa- tion. Eighteen minutes,” said Mr. Houlihan as he referred to the time one cycle through the equipment took, that's great!” Coach Con- way. the strength coordinator, was the supervisor and enforcer of rules in the fitness room. Along with teachers and textbooks, we had other learning options. Clicking keyboards were heard as students used computers for extra practice in the fields of typing, mathematics, and, of course, com- puter programming. Senior. Steve Rosen added, It makes learning quicker, as well as more interest- ing.” To see a college you used to have to go there. Then came laser discs. A company called Learning Re- source Center donated the ma- chines and discs to Niles North three years ago. 200 colleges and universities could be viewed by simply putting a disc in the player. Along with college campus informa- tion. the discs also had data about the military, scholarships, and fi- nancial aid. Students are very wise to see the discs before visiting the campuses,” commented Mrs. Shirley Foss, college counselor. It saves money, time, and it’s alto- gether easier to see the colleges.” Steve Gardberg Linda Skolnick Academic review games made studying less tedious. Students take this opportunity to prepare for tests. 20 - VIKING PRIDE Understanding and using correct workout positions assured safety.

Although people looked the same on the outside, each and every stu- dent had qualities, interests, and attitudes that made them special. People made Niles North interest- ing. Showing the freshman how to get around, helping them find their books, and eventually getting their lockers open were the tasks that Project LEAD handled. Project LEAD was the organization in charge of freshman orientation. Each member was assigned two or three new students. They showed them around the school and an- swered all their questions about the first day of school. The student leaders hoped that during orienta- tion, they could develop an older brother-younger sister relation- ship which would last during the entire year. One advantage that Niles North had was their transfer students and ex- change students. They brought their own cultures which were of interest to other students. Their views and insights added to class- room discussions and enhanced both students and teachers under- standings. Every two years students from Ah- len, West Germany came to visit United States for three weeks. They stayed with students from Niles North and went to special school programs. Sports night, sightseeing tours, and parties planned by Niles North students were a few of them. The following summer Niles North students visited Germany. They stayed with their German friends and participated in activities, which include a meal with the mayor and a side trip to East Germany. Senior Victoria Cozza was not the typical teenage student. Victoria, a grandmother, decided to go back to school because she wanted a high school education. Cozza looked for- ward to coming to school every morning, although, she comment- ed, Sometimes, I just wanted to stay in and sleep. She enjoyed her studies and appreciated the teach- ers. She liked sitting in a classroom with teenagers but, hated the kids in the classroom who joked about her age Victoria’s family was very stunned with her decision to return to school, but now she commented, “They are pleased with me.” Her friends wished they could be in her place. Mrs. Cozza concluded, Tm glad it’s my senior year and I hope I make it. The people of Niles North made it special. Each person who works, learns, or even walks into the build- ing influenced what Niles North stood for. The people made it possi- ble for every Viking to be Proud.

It also shows that the '87 senior class will be the best yet to graduate from Niles North. com- mented Helen Park. Becky Levin, one of the seniors who made the sign explained. We wanted to do something to bring back the spirit of the seniors from the beginning of the school year. Different students expressed var- ious definitions of Senior spirit. Senior spirit is the ability to be good leaders who can lead the un- derclassmen into special events at school, claimed Anjoo Singh. An- drew Wegener added. It’s the contribution a student makes to the school by participating in ac- tivities. The Seniors” sign was a signal to the student body, but many events throughout the year helped Senior spirit grow. The Student Congress started a new tradition with foot- ball bashes. Amy Stewart ex- plained, The football bash was started to promote support and en- thusiasm between students and players. Futhermore, Spirit Week was an opportunity for the student body to participate in a special event; seniors were enthusiatic participants during the week. that the class of '87 put forth an effort to not only improve spirit among Seniors, but to promote spirit throughout the school. This year’s Senior class is intelligent, energetic and seem to be dilligent workers, stated Mr. Ron Henrici. The class of ’87 wanted not to be remembered as simply another class but, Most of all, we want to be remembered as an enthusiastic and spirited senior class. com- mented Student Congress member Amy Stewart.

At Niles North, students were re- quired to be under teacher supervi- sion for a total of 300 minutes per day. The exception involved stu- dents who left at 2:10 P.M. be- cause of work or athletics. Stu- dents did have a certain amount of free time in which to relax. Popular places for students to do home- work or socialize before AAA were the 200 rooms and the cafeteria. ' Not me.” said sophomore Erin Ja- cobs, ‘I go to the theatre room to see my friends and talk to Mr Proffit ’ A meeting place for junior Patricia Vargas was the second floor of Hall B in front of her locker. She and her friends met there every morn- ing. “We all have a party there and we don't care about what others think, Patricia remarked. Mrs. Maestro, librarian, stated that during the school hours, nine A M. was the hardest time to find an empty seat in the LMC. Students went there to do homework and read magazines or newspapers. Apart from the resource centers, cafeteria, and library, students spent their time (and money) on the payphones by the auditorium. Senior Jenny Janosz spoke to her “sweetheart” every day at the same time and place. “He goes to college so he’s home in the morn- ing. and there’s nothing else I’d rather do, confessed Jenny. Lunch time for Nicole Hubert and her friends provided an hour and fifteen minutes free time. They usu- ally went out to eat at McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Wendy’s. Sometimes they brought food back to Nicole's house to watch “All My Children and relax in the comfort of her family room. “I love lunch time because it is the only fun part of school this year. I really enjoy going home to watch T.V. and unwind with my friends. she said. Students spent their free time in various ways - many taking the time to relax, and many making use of the school’s facilities. However it was used, it provided a well needed break from the grind of the school day. Rachel Sobel Elaine Chan Avoiding the dangers of tanning spas, many students enioyed the natural sun rays.

Thoughts That Will Last A Lifetime “Memories light the corner of my mind, misty water color memories of the way we were. Barbara Streisand. The way we were, and the way we acted in high school was something to be remembered. Life’s most em- barrassing moments, special friendships, private jokes, and clowning around with friends cre- ated these memories. Free periods with friends, pep rallies, clubs, sports events. Homecoming, and dances throughout the year set a stage for “VIKING MEMORIES.” Freshman year was the year of the unforgettable, embarrassing exper iences. “It's going to be hard to forget my first day of freshman year. revealed sophomore Susan Bramson. Let's just say that I quickly learned where the boys' and girls' locker rooms are. Won- dering about fitting in with the hun dreds of other students and finding the correct classrooms, were two mam worries for members of the class of 1990. Most of the students felt that they were thoroughly pre- pared for their first day after at- tending a day of freshman orienta- tion over the summer. Those who had taken Driver’s Education and “lived to tell about it. always had something to reminisce about. “There was a sleet storm during my first time at range. joked ju- nior Nancy Goodman, and during the storm, the number on my car fell off. Mr. McCarrel actually made me get out of my car to pick it up. I was only slightly wet! A special memory from 1986 was Prom. For those who shared in the evening’s excitement, it will be a memory which they will hold onto. Barbara Bramson. 1986 alumni, comment- ed. You could actually feel the tension in the air when the Prom Queen and King were about to be announced. It was crowded, but I still had a great time, and I will never forget that night. The last few weeks before the school year came to an end was part of the fun at Niles North. Wondering when and where the next senior prank was coming from kept students and teachers alert at all times. A countdown on the chalkboard of almost every classroom for the amount of days left for seniors was a tradition carried on by the class of 1987. The last official memory of high school was the distributing of diplo- mas at graduation. I remember how hard it was trying to keep my hat on in the wind,” laughed 1986 graduate Donna DeSalvo. “My main worry was getting hit in the head by one of the many flying objects.” At the end of the school year, mem- bers of the Viking family, take with them a handful of memories which will never be forgotten, precious moments shared with special peo- ple. the “NILES NORTH VIKINGS.” Tina Vaggelatos 28 - VIKING PRIDE After eating an elegant meal at Prom '86. students chose to relax in the hotel lobby Taking a breather before departing are Bar bara Bramson and Marc Cabin.

Students having the off campus stamped on their I.O.'s were allowed to leave the school grounds during free periods. Trying to make a quick “get-a way for lunch are Theresa Dumlao and Sira Smayrabunya. Before the new rule that there was no loitering outside the auditorium, students used the quiet area for study. Taking time out on Halloween to prepare for a test are freshmen. Patty Geimer, and Dina Zacker- man. Waiting in hour long lines at the bookstore was never a favorite pastime for students. After waiting his share of time, senior Ben Lazer finally arrives at the window. CANDIDS - 31 n� Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, Faculty, Staff, and Administrators were the people who ‘‘made” Niles North. Although each person involved in the school had his own unique personality and range of experience, each group was inevitably stereotyped. The Freshmen, surrounded by strange new faces, struggled to “find their place in the huge, “H-shaped school. The Sophomores, no longer fresh”men but not yet upperclassmen, found new freedom behind the wheel. Juniors, conviced that ACT’s, SAT’s, and classrank would determine their future, learned to relieve the pressure by partying with the seniors. The Seniors, many plagued by the infamous Senioritis,” claimed, We don’t go to Niles North; we ARE Niles North! The Faculty, challenged with hundreds of new faces and names each semester, worked to make the material interesting for the students and themselves. The Staff, always available to clean, type, cook, file, answer phones, or solve problems, helped to keep the school running smoothly. Administrators, constantly busy with meetings, complaints, public relations, and the organization of the school, were the backbone of Niles North. All of the Viking Personalties working together gave the school a distinct Niles North character.

In an unprecedented occur- ence this year there was also a fifth member of the board who was admitted by the other members. Alan Hirsch showed an extreme amount of school spirit to earn the title of Social Chairman. All of the officers headed the discussions ev- ery week. The meetings usu- ally lasted for an hour or more, depending on what needed attention. Senior Class President.

This senior class is more spe cial than the previous ones be cause we have a strong, fresh felling of enthusiasm and spirit.

These are the best years of your life, so enjoy them. I tried to keep this advice in mind as I ventured through each fun-filled, carefree day, but on occasion, I had to remind myself of this profound advice to make sure that I was, indeed, enjoying myself. Most of my days during the school year began in total darkness since I woke up before dawn. How eager I was to give up the warmth and coziness of my covers to a freezing cold house and begin another enjoyable day in the best years of my life!

With only thirty-two seconds left to meet my ride, I enjoyed a delectable breakfast of two vitamins and one gulp of orange juice. As I rushed out the door, I was greeted by the thirty-ninth straight day of rain. It added so much, though, to the best years of my life to be touched by nature in this way, and then to have to sit in school, damp and shivering, for at least half the day.

What fun it was, too, for my parents to write out five hundred dollars worth of checks on non-refunda- ble application fees! It would even be more exciting in a few months waiting for the mail each day, wondering if I was accepted or rejected.

I tried to make these the best years of my life by enjoying what I was learning, but I felt guilty enjoying learning for learning's sake, when I knew I was really supposed to be learning to prepare myself for the next stage of my life. All of my great teachers since grade school had been preparing me for the next test, the next grade, and the next school, and I guessed that they knew best.

However, my study teacher disap- proved of that form of enjoyment, and woke me up to try a better form of enjoyment, homework. My literature class went quite smoothly and enjoyably. I didn’t even mind when the teacher assigned a twenty page essay due the next day. After all, it was only fair and reasonable to expect another essay since we hadn’t writ- ten one in at least three days. A mere five hundred pages of reading was the only assignment during that time. The tone rang and a mob of students piled into the cafeteria, all eager to put more enjoyment into the best years of their lives. I spent twelve minutes of my long Kevin McIntosh Marla Meltzer Jennifer Mezey David Michael Francis Mon Lourdes Morales Janna Moskm Trevor Motzny Brian Nagorsky Liana Newman Margie O'Connell Jennifer O'Keefe fifteen minute lunch period in the efficient cafeteria line, and more than half of my hourly pay on a delicious, nutritious, and especially well-balanced four-carbohydrate lunch, consisting of spaghetti, corn, potatoes, and bread. While carrying my tray to the table, I spotted the guy I was hoping would ask me to the dance Friday night. Just when I thought we were becoming such good friends, he asked another girl. Soon she appeared and sat down at his table. I watched them as they smiled and laughed and sat close to each other. I pretended that it didn't bother me by stuffing some corn and potatoes into my mouth, but somehow the food wouldn’t go down because the lump in my throat wouldn’t let it.

The tone was more like a starting bell as we raced to see how much we could jot down before the class ended. How thoughtful of him to provide us with this service so we didn’t have to strain our eyes reading the exact same sentences in our book!

Afterwards, I shook out my cramped fingers and walked down the hall with one of the top students. I told him about my frustration and disappointment with the class. “I just don't feel like I'm learning anything,” I admitted. “Everything is so rushed and confusing.” The other student, who was obviously much wiser in the ways of high school life than I was, stop in his tracks in Lesli Rubenstein Aaron Rubin Mark Ruby Rick Rudich Peter Saiger Jacob Salinas Sherri Salomon Amelia Samamego Cynthia Schappert Cary Schimmel Jonathan Schoenberg Alisa Schraiber 84 - SENIORS Lee Rudy Eun Ryo Ronald Sachs David Sadkin yA ilk 4km John San Juan Ronald Sanariz Cynthia Sangerman Edward Sax Joy Schreiber Davis Schultz Sharon Segev James Shanahan CLASS OF 1987 - 85 Debra Sherman Michael Shless Larisa Shpltalnik Eloida Slapno shock Learn anything! he exclaimed, That’s not the purpose of this class or any class, you fool!

Again, I could only thank those wise and able administrators for being con- cerned enough with my fitness to schedule my classes in this way. Finally, I arrived at my last class of the day, Calculus. By that time, I was totally exhausted and drained of energy and brain power, but I was still expected to have the thinking and reasoning ability of Einstein. The scheduling talent of those wise and able administrators was obvious again.

The humming of Steve Buch- binder s wheelchair had become a familiar reminder of Steve's presence. Steve became a qua- drupeligic after a car accident on Christmas Eve. 1979. His handicap, however, did not keep him from continuing his education. He had hoped to go on to college, further expanding his knowledge. Steve wanted to become a paralegal, or enter another field accessible through a special computer. “He wanted a computer that would let him write. There were a lot of things that he could do if he went to college. said Ms. Jirik. his Eng- lish teacher for three years. On September twenty-ninth. Steve passed away. The class which he was part of seemed empty. The hallways were more quiet than usual. The sound of his wheelchair was absent. Although few people knew Steve well, he was greatly re- spected by many. Several stu- dents and faculty attended his wake. “I thought he had a lot of courage and optimism, senior Alla Kaner commented. Ms. iirik added. “ He had the per- fect excuse to quit, but he nev- er gave up. ‘ Steve had a marvelous sense of humor once you got to know him. He really knew people. He was a good judge of character, his English teacher concluded. “Having a kid like him around was an experience.

After that, he decided to earn his M.A.T. at Northwestern. He taught Sophomore English, Bible and Mythology, American Literature, and Short Fiction Masterpieces. Deardorff concluded, “Literature reveals who we are and gives perspective on how to live our lives.

There was a great deal of work for a college counselor; for example, Foss orga- nized Junior Night, Financial Nights, visits to colleges, hosted the college recruiters when they visited Niles North, set up test prep classes and workshops, and assisted in College Night planning. She also counseled parents and students, and shared col- lege information with her fellow coun- selors and teachers. “I do a lot of college traveling on my own and often visit a college whenever I am in its area.

A student's primary responsibility was to earn thirty-six academic credits in four years, but success in school depended on more than just filling this graduation requirement. Beginning Freshman year, students established study habits which they would carry with them throughout high school. Some students could only concentrate in the quiet library or study hall. Others preferred to study in the company of friends or with the stereo on, and many were most productive when the refrigerator was nearby. Students were responsible for scheduling their time carefully in order to complete term papers, prepare for tests, and keep up with day-to-day homework assignments. They were expected to get a teacher’s help when necessary and set realistic goals regarding semester grades. Grades weren't the most important aspect of school; it was more crucial that students approached their classes with a genuine desire to learn. It was the student's responsibility to take advantage of the school's resources which would help to prepare them for college, work, and life. Above all, students were responsible for being curious and gaming as much knowledge as possible from the academic program at Niles North. Jacki Greenberg 108 — RESPONSIBILITIES 601 - S0IW30V0V The wheels of students' minds turned as they wrestled the bog- gling questions involved with theo- retical science. What actually was theoretical science? Basically, it was a program dealing with math- ematics. science, and computer programming. Every student was required to take two years of lab science, and two years of math- ematics. Computers were optional. Directors and teachers helped de- sign the courses so the students would benefit in future years in college. Examples of changes were in the physiology and mathematics classes. The one semester course of physiology has been extended to a two semester class. Algebra 3R has been dropped. In its place came TRANSITION TO COLLEGE MATHEMATICS. ■ Advance To The A Future DIRECTOR DR. DAVID SCHUSTEFF Participation showed enthusiasm in the class.

When a student entered a _ science or math class, what was expected of him or her? Mrs. Wy- socki explained, the students should develop the ability to apply critical thinking skills and using ob- servation to solve problems pre- — sented.” Basically in a lab course situation, there was class presenta- tion. laboratory work, and demon- strations with audio-visual aid. Ex- — periments were part of a daily cur-_________ riculum. Students of Niles North were taking math or science courses, but why? Was it to fulfill the requirements or were there some people who are truly interest- ed? Some students had a negative attitude about science or any other courses, but Rami Braginsky had a different perspective. Planning to be America’s next archeologist, he _. stated, Science is very interesting even though I didn’t like Earth Sci- ence, but it depends on the student or the way the teacher explains and presents the material that makes the subject interesting or not.” “ Mathematics was essential part of life. It was needed in career fields and daily use. Luckily in Niles North there were math courses, _ each designed to aid the individual and his need to grasp the concepts and formulas of problems. Our school, in my opinion has a better math program than most schools around, congratulations are in or- der especially to the teachers.” Stated Sophomore Dafna Elrad. Mathematics involved more than — solving equations, it must have been understood by the students so they could communicate it to someone else. This measure was taken in the course of math analy- sis in which teacher Bill Zook pre pared his students to defend their presentation of their favorite math- ematician and their ability to grasp the concepts the mathematician observed. — Computers were considered the revolution of the 80’s. At Niles North, students were caught up in the wave of high tech. Computers introduced the students to four ba- sic programs. They first encoun- tered Basic Computers 13-23. Sec- ondly. the student received first hand experience in writing pro- grams, solving techniques, using logical structure and algorithms. These classes were designed to broaden the curious and serious mind of today’s computer buff. Fi- nally, there were courses in ad- vanced computer programming and structured programming which the future computer scientist will trea- sure.

Dr. Morris was the director of Social Studies, Fine Arts, and the Learning Materials Center. This was a change for Dr. Morris who was previously director of Applied Sciences. He felt the transition from Applied Sciences to Social Studies and Fine Arts went smoothly because he had held an amimstrative position at Niles North for nineteen years. Gradu- ation from Niles North required students to fufill six social studies credits including People and Their Cultures, Western Civilization, U.S. History, and one elective. For the ?

Art Foundations. Ceramics. Graphic Design. Drawing, and Sculpture. This year. Dr. Morris was very busy preparing curriculum changes for next school year. One change in- volved the beginning social studies — course People and Their Cultures. Formerly, students were able to choose between two subject combi nations second semester. The se- lection was China. Japan, and Afri- ca; or Middle East, India, and Chi- na. For the 87-88 school year stu- dents would not have a choice. — instead all the countries mentioned above may be studied with the pos sible addition of Russia and Central America. The school had been de veloping their own instructional __ materials for the revised course. Other changes in the Dr. Morris’s department included developing en- try level tests in social studies, art. and music for next year's incoming — freshmen. These tests will serve the purpose of measuring what the students had already learned in ju- nior high so Niles North can tailor classes to the students needs. Dr. Morris was also responsible for — making sure each teacher was do- ing his job. To evaluate teachers’ instruction, Dr. Morris attended classes and discussed his observa- tions with the teacher.

A Twist Of The Tongue DIRECTOR DR. LEE HAWKINS Any student who goes through four years of English or a foreign language at Niles North will be competitive on any college cam- pus.” commented Dr. Hawkins Since he came to the school, his goal had been to help students choose classes that were right for them as well as those classes that would be helpful in their college years. He added. Though a stu- dent may not see the advantage of taking a class now. often he will look back and be glad that they did. He also has worked toward requiring more years of English to graduate than previously needed. 114 — RESPONSIBILITIES Enthusiasm moved from teacher to student Seeing a student start with no knowledge ot a language and see them build to the point of carrying on a conversation is the most reward mg part of being a foreign language teacher. enplmed German teacher Gabriele Strven Theater students were exposed to many types of literature Two thespians are caught m the act of running through a script Foreign language classes have become crowded Mrs Perlmutter finds free time for herself be tween classes Starting with the class of 1990. two years of a foreign language would be required to graduate. ___ Foreign language at the high __ school level is more attentive to the student where as at the college level, the student doesn't get as much personal attention.” stated German student Tanya Schensema. — Most colleges require a foreign — language to graduate and many of today’s professions find that those who are bt- or trilingual have an added advantage.” she added. At the other end of the language issue were the English as a Second Language students. Aided by Mary Scherb. students who could not communicate with each other in their first language worked with one another to learn English. The advanced students, still learning English themselves, were always willing to help the first year stu- _ dents with homework from ESI or other classes. “It’s really nice to see the kids work so hard together towards the same goal.” replied Mrs. Scherb Putting out a quality paper every two weeks was the difficult task of the North Star Bringing attention to activities within the school and community, as well as covering the problems and interests of the stu- dents is a tough |ob to do as often as we do it,” concluded one North Star member. Jenny Thun ENGLISH FOREIGN LANGUAGE - Opportunity To Explore Interests DIRECTOR MR. JOHN WINTERHALTER “It is important for students to learn the areas in maior academics such as Science, Mathematics. Eng- lish and Social Studies; it is also important that students learn more about the world around them,” Mr. Winterhalter, the administrator of the Practical Arts Departments said. The Department aided stu- dents in doing |ust that; it was a way for students to explore their interests. Courses in Business Edu cation, Industrial Arts and Home Economics gave insight into the various interests by letting the stu- dents view and perform some of the work involved in that particular area. 116 - RESPONSIBILITIES Electronics was one of the Industrial Arts classes that enabled students to pursue their career interest Mark Leb listens to the lecture given by Mr Voftman Woods gave students the opportunity to create.

The Cooperative Vocational Educa _ tion further helped students to pur- sue their interests by placing them m a working environment which they were interested in. Dr. Henrici described CVE as “a work exper tence program that combines learn — mg through regularly scheduled su- pervised employment, in the com- munity and vocationally oriented m-school instruction. The unique feature of the program is that it captures the concept of extending the the classroom out in to the community. Students gam practical __ work experience upon which they may draw for future career deci- sions.” In addition, the Practical Arts De _ partment gave students the chance to graduate with basic computer literacy. With the changing times, computers were fast becoming more prominent. Classes such as Keyboarding and Word Processing “ were designed to introduce and as- sist students in the age of the com- puter. Futhermore, the Department with classes in Foods, Autos. Clothing, Consumer Education, and Manage- ment for Living enabled students to comprehend and learn about the skills needed for every day life. “In Foods not only did we learn to cook, but we also learned to run a restaurant, commented Lisa Evins The Practical Arts Department was full of classes which prepared stu- dents to cope and manage with some areas outside the academic realm of knowledge.

Mr Houlihan headed the programs in- cluded in Physical Welfare. Drivers’ “ Education, and all extra-curricular athletics. He was responsible for the cheerleaders, the Auroris Dance Troupe, and the Homecoming events. Scheduling all games and _ facilities for meets and practices, ordering equipment, maintaining equipment, ordering buses for away games, and balancing the budget of the twenty two sub-pro- grams were all part of Houlihan's “ job.

During the school year a new — program was instituted. A student — could take a semester of Health Education instead of a semester of gym. This program was abandoned at the end of the school year be- _ cause of a change in state require- ments. Grades for Physical Education classes were determined on a point system. Missing classes, not par- — ticipatmg, and not dressing in the — P.E. uniform were causes for losing points. At the end of each six weeks period a scale was deter- mined which broke down the points into letter grades. During 86-87 a new electives pro- gram for juniors and seniors was introduced. Students were able to choose between two different ac- tivities for each six weeks period. The program encouraged more par ticipation from students. Seniors had first choice at what they want- ed to take. In the future the administration will upgrade the P.E. program by add ing more courses to the curricu- lum. including rollerskating. A five minute fitness period will be added at the beginning of class each day. A fitness room and a new weight room were added to the P.E. facili- ties this year. These new opportu mties and the fitness trail, which was new in 85-86. placed greater emphasis on fitness. In past years Niles North and Niles West used two different fitness tests. Plans are for both schools to take the same test so the results _ can be compared. A new Individual Educational Placement Program is also to be underway soon in order to show the improvement of the individual student in comparison with the other students between — the ninth and twelfth grades. In the P.E. program students who couldn’t take regular gym classes were assigned to adaptive gym. The east balcony gym was transformed into an adaptive teaching gym which includes shuffleboard. volley- ball. ping pong, and a backboard. - Students with a medical excuse were placed in the MDX program and assigned to a study hall. Recently, more emphasis was _ placed on fitness following the ex- ample of the country. Additional courses offered in the Physical Wel- fare program provided a great op- portunity for interested students. Outstanding coaches and winning — teams added to this fitness craze by showing that there was some- thing to be proud of and that fit- ness could be fun. Nanci Rosendorn PHYSICAL WELFARE 119 Services Aid Students DIRECTOR DR.KATHY PECA The heat of the summer brought in a new face at Niles North. Since July of 1986, Dr. Kathy Peca, was in charge of Student Services. “We work as one big team,” commented Peca. Student Services was in charge of many services. One very important service was the Guid ance Department. There were sev- en Guidance Counselors. They were Mr. Ken Anderson, Mr. Tom Grossman. Mr. Don Harper. Ms. Judy Siegal, Mr. Walter John. Mr Tom Thomas, and Ms. Mary Mur- phy They helped students with reg- istration and guiding them through high school. Ms. Shirley Foss was the college counselor. If a student was feeling ill he had the opportunity to visit the school At the beginning ot each semester, students usually were switching in and out of classes Ms.Shelly Malina was responsible for the sched ulmg department In order to register lor classes, students had to plan a time to talk with their counselor Ms.Mary Murphy guides a student with her choices for the following year Checking to make sure his illness wasn't serious. Ms Joyce Sweeny takes a student's pulse 120 — RESPONSIBILITIES nurse. There were two nurses Ms.Joyce Sweeney and a new addi- tion. Ms. Mary Bonkoske Another special service was Special Education. There were two kinds. One was the Center for Individual- ized Curriculum (C.I.C.); which helped students with courses. A student was placed in one room and had several classes with the same teacher The other program was Individualized Instruction Cen- ter (U.C.) Students who attended I.I.C. also attended regular classes, but they were scheduled to go to “ their I.I.C. advisor three mods a day. This enabled students to be come aware that they had someone who could help them with home- work. or even someone to talk to if there was a problem. In order for a student to be eligible for the C.I.C. and I.I.C. programs, the student had to be brought up to a special review board, which met every — Wednesday. A case study was done on the student with counselors, his parents, and Dr.Peca Counseling, social history, health history, and deans reports a contributations to _ the case studies. Along with guid- ance counselors, nurses, and Spe- cial Education, Student Services was also involved with the deans: Mr.John Ramirez and Ms.Sue Hoff- man. It also included the The Read ” mg Center, taught by Ms.Barbra Willerman, the social workers, the speech therapy, and scheduling. Concluded Peca. The program is very unique in more than one way: first, there were a number of ser vices offered for the students; sec- ond, the program helps support students academically, and finally. “ it’s all one big team working to- gether.

Boys’ Gymnastics took third in state and Girls’ Basketball finished with an excellent record. For the first time in the history of Niles North, the Varsity Football Team brought home the North Suburban Conference trophy. This first place victory gave the entire school a reason to celebrate. While players celebrated the team's success, the individual athletes had their own reasons to rejoice. They had overcome the many pressures which they were faced with during the season. Depending on the individual these pressures were either very helpful or added an additional challenge. These pressures came from peers, coaches, and parents. Also, many athletes pressured themselves. They set goals and worked at every practice to achieve them. Athletes expected to better their score everytime they competed. Perhaps the biggest challenge of athletics was the challenge of bouncing back after they played a bad game or ran a bad race. One bad day could not discourage them for the rest of the season. Athletes had to keep their spirits up and their dedication high. These high spirits motivated the athletes to meet their challenges.

Although performing in front of large crowds wasn’t always easy, the Niles North Cheerleaders did it with style. The Varsity and Pre-Varsity Cheerleaders demonstrated precise moves and strong voices as they stood in front of hundreds of people during football and basketball games to get the spirit going. Like the big tough football players, the Cheerleaders were required to brave the cold weather, ram. and even snow, but unlike the foot- ball players, they did it with a smile. Varsity squad member. Kim Berg expressed her feelings about the team. ‘This is the best that the squad has ever done. At the camp that we attended in Platville. Wisconsin, the team was awarded a blue ribbon (which is the highest ribbon) each day and also a spirit award. The most exciting competition was the one in which the top team would get to cheer in a national competition in Orlando. Florida, and we placed second there. Not only did the squad practice over the summer, but they also practiced throughout the Football and Basket- ball seasons, which were from September until March. The squad held practice twice a week, for two hours on Tuesday, one hour on Thursday, and when there was a game, they practiced for an hour prior to it on Friday. Kim concluded. “Sometimes it was hard work, but it paid off in the end. We knew that without the practices, we wouldn’t have been able to do it. Although the Pre-Varsity Squad was fewer in number than the Varsity squad, they compensated for it with their professionalism on the field, and their motivation of the crowds. “It was a lot of fun being on the squad this year because everyone became really close. added sophomore Julie Mitchel.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED Vikettes and Cheerleaders Thrill Crowd Although this was only their first year, the Freshman Cheerleaders performed like pros. Each week the squad practiced, working to improve their routines. Freshman Kelly Kloiber commented, I'm really glad that I joined the squad. When the weather was cold, we warmed up quickly by cheering. I had a great time.” The squad worked hard at getting the class of 1990 to show their spirit off at Football games and at Pep- Rallies. a most difficult task to accomplish. When per- forming a cheer, a formation, or a difficult mount, these Cheerleaders proved that being the youngest didn't nec- essarily mean being less valuable. Niles North had a lot to be proud of. Not only was the football team the conference champ, but the 1986-87 Vikettes were also winners. Each year, the Vikette squad spent four days at Rockford College for summer camp, where they learned most of the steps for their routines. At camp, they competed with ten to fifteen other schools, and this year, won first place in originality, skills, in all nightly ratings, and also won the spirit board. Co-Captain Arlene Roman was also in the top three for the Ms. Badgerette competition. 1 joined Vikettes because I like to perform,” stated Ro- man, 'and it is also a lot of fun to be with the other people, especially at camp.” The Vikettes were a very dedicated group of students, ranging from sophomores to seniors. Although their performing season lasted only seven months, their prac- tices continued all through the summer. As a student walked past the East Cafeteria after school, he saw the Vikettes joined in a complicated kick-line, one of the specialties that they were known for. The squad prac- ticed three days a week after school for at least two hours, and on occasion, they could be seen kicking, sweating, and dancing until ten o'clock p.m. during extended practices before important performances. The Vikettes had always been more than “just a pom- pon squad.” The Niles North student body learned to expect the unexpected. Previously, the troupe had per- formed in wild costumes, ranging from nerdy button- down shirts, complete with pocket protectors and taped black glasses, to prison inmate’s clothes, fully equipped with a ball and chain. These costumes, however, were outdone during the 1986 Homecoming Assembly. Min- gled among the colorful, crowded bleachers, a lonely outstretched hand could be seen, pointing toward the school. The crowd received an unexpected thrill when they looked up and saw a shiny red convertible drive right onto the track that surrounded the football field. As the top came down, several Vikettes emerged from the car. The troupe went on to perform a dance on and around the car to the song, “Greased Lightning.” Niles North didn't know what the next great routine would be. or what surprise it would involve. What the students did know, was that if it was from the Vikettes. it would be sensational.

Two players went Conference, and two took All-Area Robert Powers was chosen for All Area and Conference for the second time. Mitch Goldstein won All-Area, and Phil Sauer won Con ference. It was a first for both. Last season, the team was incredibly strong in batting and in the outfield. The team's batting average came to a respectable high of .360. Junior Tony Tichy led the North Shore in RBI's with 41. Varsity Coach Jim Sakas commented. We definitely had one of the best outfields in the area. I was really surprised when Tony Tichy wasn't picked for Conference.” The team had some important wins. The Vikings defeated top ranked Maine East and Niles West, and they won their opening game against the New Trier, which then ranked eighteenth in the country. Towards the end of the season, they were ranked sixteen in the state. The Sophomore team played quite well. They finished off the season second in the Conference with a record of 14 4. The batmen were strong in running the bases, and it was basically a balanced team. Coach Mitch Stewart added. It was a good group, and they quickly picked up on my coaching hints.” As for the Freshmen, the A team completed the season with a record of 5-15 and the B team with a record of 6- 6.

Our goal was to play well together as a team, prepare our juniors for next year, and to become more exper- ienced,” remarked Todd Saranecki Practice was a very important time for players and coaches to learn new plays and get ready for the next game. Practice went well. We practiced everyday after school except on game days. We wanted to beat Maine East. Our competition was experienced and fairly tough. Our hardest competition was Lake Forest, they were really nasty,” stated Saranecki Despite the lack of height, the team made up for it with an aggressive defense and a persistant offense. Our weakness was our height, but also it was because our team was inexperienced. We made up for our faults with our dedication and diligent work, commented Saran- ecki Injuries set back the team a bit, but fortunately it only affected the team to a certain extent. Junior Todd Saranecki suffered a shoulder injury in a game. Because of his shoulder he could no longer shoot, and he was out for three games. Senior Doug Petrovitch mjuried his knee. Petrovitch helped the towards with rebounding. Also, Junior Mitch Jacobson's ankle was hurt during a game Jacobson was out of two games. Luckily for the team we had good back up, in spite of the injuries, commented Mike Dietz Having new strategies was important in out-manuvermg the competition. We have all been learning offensive strategies since freshman year. Adding a new defense (1-2-2) worked surprisingly well.” remarked Dietz. Our goal for the coming season is to get ready for next year. We hope to achieve this goal by giving juniors more playing time. This way there will be a lot of experience on next years team.

The team worked well together, and as a team stuck together through victories as well as defeats. The team showed a great attitude; they are a great group of people, some of the best that I have ever worked with. commented Coach Giambeluca. Our goal for the season included playing good defense, learn the varsity team offensive system, and to be able to shoot sixty percent from the free throw line. We accomplished the task of learning the varsity team offensive system, but we still must work on our strength and our free throw percentage.” added Giambeluca Practice helped the team to get closer to their goals.

Since the team lacked height, our Viking players relied on their skills and used their all-around team effort to A defensive blocks stopped some from shooting John Chun endures the block and continues to shoot. beat their competitors and win the game. The Boys’ Sophomore Basketball team may not have had the height that most teams had. but they had quick players with good form and knew when to execute plays. Their goal for the year was to do better than last year. They tried hard and never gave up. Their size was a weakness, since team members from other schools were taller and could dominate the ball. Some outstanding players included Charlie Pearl and Dennis Soco Practice was held everyday and sometimes Saturdays for about two hours.

The rigorous practices were evident in the team's 18-9 overall record. According to starter Danica Petrovic. The togetherness of the team was the most important factor in our success.” Four returning Varsity players helped establish unity and blocked out inexperience. We had potential, but too little depth.” remarked Petrovic The girls overcame the absence of a large bench and beat Maine East in the regional tournament, which was held at Niles North. This was the first regional win in seven years for NN Girls Basketball. The team was defeated in sectional play by New Trier, who was ranked third in state. Patti Sikorski, the only senior on the team, was the leading scorer for the lady Vikings. She broke the school record for most points scored in a high school career. Shari Rozmus also contributed significantly to the num- ber of Viking baskets. One of the team highlights came when we played Warren for the second time. The Blue Devils had beaten us in our first game, but we killed them the next time we met. recalled Beth Laschinski Petrovic felt that a team high point occured at the Dundee Crown Invitational. We lost our first game by one point, but we came back with three wins. We showed Coach Florence that if we worked with each other, we could do it.” The Freshman team had a disappointing season, but ended on a high note. Their dedication paid off when they won their last game of the season. Even though we won only one game, we lost several by |ust one or two points.” commented Nikki Zite. The Freshman team lost four key players to the JV team. Kristen Cooley, Sheila Dupuis, Rhea Laguna, and Debbie Hedberg moved up to the JV level. The JV’s record was 8-10.

The team practiced three days a week after school at Oakton Bowl. The other two days they had meets against other schools in the conference. Although they did not have a winning season, the spirit and camaraderie on the team did not subside. Coach Sue Hoffman commented. The team improved throughout the season, but unfortunately, not enough to win. Nevertheless, the Niles North Bowling Team placed fourth out of the five conference teams. Senior Caryn Roskin was named Most Valuable Player for her high bowling average and four years of dedica tion to the team.

Coach Larry Genge empha sized, “Our goals were to improve as we moved on through the season and to have our best races at the conference meet.” Aaron Hodges agreed that his goal was simply to do the best I possibly can. Though the team didn’t win any conference meets, the coaches, as well as the team, were satisfied with the year. “It was a rebuilding year” commented Coach Genge. and we did accomplish all our goals.” One problem encountered by the Track and Field Team was the lack of participation.

Aaron Rubin ran the half mile in two minutes and three seconds and Kevin Pogany ran the mile in five minutes and three seconds. Karl Hashiuk. a quarter mile runner and sprinter, was a big prospect for the future. The teams faults basically consisted of a lack of participa- tion as well as the fact that the team was quite young. But the guys that went out for Track stuck with it and tried their best. Most of the team members wanted to have more meets included in the season and felt that another improvement would be to allow students to tram at different schools. This would allow the athletes to use facilities that Niles North may not provide and to ultimate- ly improve their scores.

The Girls Cross Country Team proved this theory wrong. They started out with six girls, but by the end of the season, there were only three of them. We no longer ran to beat the competition but instead we ran for ourselves”, commented Cara Me Intyre. We always had fun and there was always something funny and unusual happening. They ran for four or five days a week, and trained at Mt. Trashmore. The Skokie Lagoons, and Gilson Park. A most valuable player was not selected, instead the three girls shared the title. Since there were only three of us on the team, we were all valuable to it. Our goal was to be all-conference, hopefully next year we can achieve such a goal, remarked Me Intyre It took many hard working, dedicated girls to make up the Track Team. Since there are so many events, it is hard to keep coming up with fresh runners, stated Nancy Hundrieser The Girls Track Team met six days per week, with two meets per week. Training was hard because a lot of it was outside and we had to fight the natural elements. comented Anne Schenk When Coach Barstow was asked about his team he proudly commented. Last years goal was to do well at conference, and qualify as many girls to state as possi- ble. We accomplished that goal, we finished in the upper half and had two girls go to the state meet. Madeline Oton and Karol Kuehn The competition was tough because conference was so large, ten schools compet- ing, but we had many outstanding individuals on the team. They were competitive and supportive of each other. In 1987. we would like to take the returning nucleus and mold them to do their best.

Our goal was to make it to the state play-offs for the first time in the history of Niles North. commented a number of Varsity Football Team members. After missing the play-offs last season, the Seniors had great determi- nation and the competitive spirit to achieve a finals position. Their spirit was a big asset to the rest of the players. Even though the team experienced more injuries than ever before, their resolution was not shattered. After defeating Warren, the Vikings suffered a loss to Stevenson. Although they were upset, they knew they had to get right back into action. We rebounded and won seven straight,” explained Junior Steve Sand. For the first time, this year players showed enough talent that they could be divided into two platoons. However, individual talents were not as great as when they worked together as a whole. Defensive coordinator Coach Fickes described how the defense worked so well. “The key to the defense was the blending of eleven individuals’ abilities to work as a team. According to the team, the most inspirational person was Coach Zook. Coach Giambeluca was recognized as a true leader. The entire coaching staff taught a great deal of respect and discipline. ence players. They were Juniors Mike Dietz, Seth Novo- selsky, and Erik Slowik and Seniors Jim Baker, Dave Hancock, Mike Kupferberg, Mark Ruby, and Jim Shana- han.

Out of approximately 3000 players in our area. Mike Dietz was one of twenty-two players that made The All Area Team. Since the begin- ning of the season I knew we were going to win confer- ence, boasted Senior Mark Tober. Along with this accomplishment, the Viking team was named Z95 and 7- UP Football Team of the Week by radio disc jockey Brant Miller. Entering the state play-offs with an 8-1 record, the team suffered a defeat, but only by a close margin. In the fourth quarter alone, they scored three touchdowns in seven minutes, finalizing the score 28-21 Peter Tschurtz remarked, We were disappointed with the play-off game, but we were satisfied with the season overall.

It was the first year of coaching for Coach Kevin Marsh and Coach Marty Litwin. Many of the team members said that they were very inspired by the coaches. For the Freshman Football Team it was a year of learning. Many of the players had not participated in the summer football program which was designed to teach them how to play and to begin weight training. The team was challenged by conference teams which had more experience than our team. The Freshman A team ended the season with a 0-9 record and the Freshman B team ended with a record of 3-4. Their main goal for next year is to win several games and become stronger as a team. The A and B teams were designed so that everyone gained some experience on the field. “Since there were so many injuries this year, the A and B teams should have been combined to improve the records. We were playing offense and defense.” com- mented Matt Krecun. result in a winning season. Finishing with a record of 0- 9, the sophomores had gained experience to help them prepare for Varsity.

Practices lasted for about two hours. The Varsity Golf Team finished their season just short of winning the conference championship. They suffered many setbacks early in the season due to players not coming out for the team and players quitting during the season. The team was forced to compete with five players instead of the usual six. Inexperienced players were forced to play on the Varsity level. Sophomores Steve Friedman, Sonny Gallman, and Bill Sikorski had to com- pete on the Varsity level instead of on the Sophomore level like they should have. The team was led consistently through this year’s sea- son by Seniors Steve Abrams and Mike Hotowaty At the end of the season Steve Friedman qualified for section- als placing ninth out of eighty-four golfers,making him- self eligible to compete in regionals. Although the team set their goals high, they exceeded Coach joe Rusk's expectations. Being such a young team, consisting of three sophomores, one junior, and only two seniors, they started out the season trying to rebuild the team, do well in their conference games, and place in regionals. They succeeded in all and finished their season by placing sixth out of fifteen teams in regionals.

Individually, the Vikings also fared well. The team was led by Dror Zetouni, who placed fifth on the still rings; Lee Wolochuk, who earned third place working the pommel horse; and Shawn Martin, who gained a fifth place title in the all-around competition as well as a third place on the parallel bars. Early in the season, we knew we had a chance at the state title, but we realized from previous experience that injuries would play a great role in the final meets, remarked all-arounder Alan Hirsch. Although the leading highbar man and potential state champ Joel Wasserman sus- tained a bad knee injury one day before the regional meet, the team was able to pull to- gether and do well enough to walk away with a victory. The team was eager to do well for themselves and the coaches. Head Coach Bill Bro had only been at North for three years, but with his help the teams had propelled themselves to the top ten in state. According to the members, they did their best to repay the coaches for all the time they devoted. Along with the coaches paid by the school, ex-gymnasts from the district also came to help the team because they wanted to see Niles North reach the goal of state champions. The 1987 gymnastics team will be lead by five returning seniors: Adam Fleischer, Alan Hirsch, Lee Wolochuk, Mark Wolochuk, and Dror Zetouni, each of whom played a vital role during the 1986 season.

Alan Prevendar emphasized that the team owed a great deal to the coaches. “They understand what’s going on in your mind; they understand the fears that we have.” Alan cap- tured fourth place on the parallel bars and the still rings at the conference meet.

The girls worked out every day after school, plus Satur- days.

The Vikings were successful as a team, but at individual positions, success was found by co-captains Tony Tichy and Andrew Wegener, and also Junior Danny Yonan by being voted to the All-Conference team. MVP Yonan took it one step further when he also made the All-Sectional team. Having done well this season was the Freshman team which finished with a 6-51 record.

The 1986 season proved to be an extraordinary and memorable one. Tryouts for the teams started in April. The week of tryouts began with work outs in the West Cafeteria, ball handling, running, jumping, etc. The week gave Varsity coach Coulson and Junior Varsity coach Staerk an oppor- tunity to decide on the potential of those who tried out. The Varsity team had thirteen returning and five new players. The '86 season was the best season in the history of the Girls Varsity Soccer team. Their record consisted of eighteen wins, five losses, and three ties. The team placed second in conference and third in state. Coach Coulson believed that the successful '86 season was due to the fact that,“The team had a taste of success in the previous year and started to have confi- dence in themselves that they could win. He added that having all the starters back, who provided the team with experience and leadership, was another determining fac- tor for the success.

As early spring rolled around, the Girls’ Softball Team had their annual tryouts. In 1986, there was a Varsity Team which consisted of nine players. There were three sophomores, one junior, and five seniors. The team was coached by Coach Charles Balciulis and Assistant Coach Suzi Colantonio. They concluded their season with eleven wins and ten losses. Tracey Kurtz was named most valuable player for dedication and cooperation. Tracey commented, We had Waiting lor the signal lo steal home.

Getting off with slow starts, and increasing their pace towards the end of their meets was a consistent characteristic of the entire season. The first meet against Maine West was a prime example. The contest was won in the last relay. Seniors Matt Widens. Dan Blumenfeld. and Steve Rosen were vital members of the team. Sopho- more Eric Salinger was also an essential contributor to the team’s success. Newly acquired Varsity team Head Coach Sandstead used many new practice techniques. The team's practices were held every day after school for two to three hours. At these prac- tices swimmers mastered swimming techniques and reviewed the team’s daily schedule. Each swimmer was dedicated to achievment during the three month season. Many were striving for personal or school records. The primary way for swimmers to break these records was by pamsteakmg hard work at every practice.Semor Steve Rosen concluded, Being a member of the Varsity Swim Team was tough, but was well worth it”.

They spent two hours of their weekday afternoons practicing for their upcoming meets. Practices were hard work, but the team still had fun. We’re like sisters in a family during the season, and when it’s all over, we re still friends, commented Susan Struthers According to Miki Vucic practices were boring because of the repetition, but my teammates made them lots of fun. The team was led by sophomore Heather Scheck. and captains sophomore Miki Vucic and junior Tracy Allen. The best part about being captain was helping out all the other swimmers and being there if anyone needed help, commented Miki. Senior diver Eden Zazove began diving her sophomore year and this year she finished first in conference and beat the conference record by forty points. She placed fourth in sectionals which qualified her for state finals in which she placed fourth. Diving came naturally to me because I was involved in gymnastics, but I still have room for improvement, she said. Since the team was somewhat inexperienced, they concentrated on improving individual scores. Race against the clock was a common cry from coach Bakiulus Miki Vucic, Susan Struthers. and Dori Moses spent their off-season time practicing with the Wildcat Swimming Organization at Evanston High School to improve their chances of making the state finals next year. Even though practice is tiring, I like swimming because I get to meet people from differ- ent schools, added Susan Struthers I’d like to qualify for state finals by my senior year and I'm even thinking of going on to swim in college, boast- ed Miki Vucic.

What three words describe Niles North boys tennis team? Exciting, inspiring, and fun , stated Varsity Coach Pat Grant. The noisy and rowdy bus trips on the way home, rocked with the thrill of victory, chanting of the latest tunes, and talk of their weekend plans. The players played through rain and shine, and even a snow storm. Some members com- plained, but the coaches believed that it tough- ened the team. Only one injured shoulder, suf- fered by Junior Varsity member, Joon So, exist- ed. He struggled as the team entered confer- ence playoffs. Coach Grant labeled the team as young, due to the lack of upperclassmen and experience, which made the season a struggle for the players. Practices everyday and the challenge of Satur- day Invitationals gave the sophomores and freshmen members the experience they need- ed. Friendship was strong on the team and helped to unite the players to have an success- ful season. Sophomore John Chun quoted I got first hand experience at school competition and the success of winning and losing. I am sure the next two years will be a winning season. Last season’s goal was to place third in confer- ence, but they were edged out by their com- petitor Stevenson. Senior Dusit Roongsang commented, We took it hard at first, but next year we’ll get them. Junior Varsity Coach Mark Recker believed the frosh-soph team had an exceptional season, placing second in conference.

Last season’s goal was for all players to have a positive tennis experience, to develop new tennis skills, and to just enjoy . Practices were held every day. Despite sicknesses, minor sprains, and having had only one senior, Anjoo Singh, compete on the Varsity level, the Northi members continued to do well. Junior Valerie Weiskirch beat 1 singles from Evan- ston, and Mario Kantor had beaten a girl from Regina in first round sectionals. The purple and white team placed tight for fourth place in the North Suburban Conference. Over all, these vi- kings ended their season ranking fifth.

The teams met every day for two hours: 3:30 until 5:30. The Varsity team finished the season with a record of six and thirteen. “We did better than last year. Our success was probably due to our new coach, Sue Colantonio stated Jennifer Weiner. Volleyball is a very fun and exciting team sport. We have a good team; we are hard working. I think we have great potential for next year.” 1978-79, and she returned to coach in 1986 Colantonio. the Varsity coach, developed an interest in coaching because of her activity in the sport. Atheltics have so much to offer an individual; you learn a great deal and meet so many new people. I wanted to give back some of the opportunities and knowledge I had gotten out of my years as an athlete.” Her goal for the coming season was to develop and improve the program. ”1 want us to strive to be the very best we can be, commented Colantonio The Junior Varsity team was lead by Coach Rosen We all get along great. There was a lot of talent within the team. Even when we did not do so well we supported each other; there was a great sense of sportsmanship, commented Tanya Steffens.

It was an extremely rough season. The lack of participation of juniors hin- dered the team and caused the team to lose points before the medium started. “Wrestling wasn’t as good as it should have been because of the lack of wrestlers to fill the weight class, but overall the wrestlers were very good stated Dan Manojlovski Injuries hindered the Vikings. Captain Jeff Rasof, with an injured shoulder, commented. “I was disappointed I got injured and couldn't help the team since Coach Poz- nansky had a lot on his hands with rebuilding the team. Besides the disappointments, the seniors had worked hard to achieve their goals. They struggled with tough competition, but were able to win three dual meets in the Roundleg tournament, and placed first at Elmwood Park High School.

This year the strength of the team came from previous experience, team motivation, and the key ingredient- FRIENDSHIP. Before entering high school, members of the team participated in the new Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation in which they gained most of their experience and became close friends. Their friendship grew and was used in their support to motivate each other to win. The chanting of PIN. PIN, PIN , on the side lines, gave their fellow teammates the confidence they needed to win. Basically we are all friends and always supported each other, nobody gave up. commented Ray Sanariz. Over- all the freshmen team had an outstanding season. With a record of 15-0 and a win at the North Suburban conference against their hardest competitor, Libertyville, the team made their coach proud. Coach Fickes reflect- ed on the season, This was the best freshman wrestling group in the last few years, and it bears in the record. On the other hand, the J.V. team's lack of experience greatly hindered the team. This year's goal was to gam experience, because half of the team never wrestled. The wrestling team survived the season with more prac- tices and the determination by the players. A few Key players which helped the team were Aaron Hodges, Bret Balonick, and Mark Kato. The J.V. did pretty well, the team improved alot and did better than what people expected us to do, stated Bret Balonick.

It was a movie about four boys and the competition, support, and love involved in a close friendship. Hundreds of friendships just like theirs existed at Niles North. Camaraderie was everywhere: in the cafeteria, at the Bashes, backstage at musical and theatrical productions, and at Homecoming, Prom, and Graduation - those special celebrations. Some new friendships grew when students worked together on a committee, in a class, or at rehearsals. Many long-time relationships continued and became stronger. Although the camaraderie between faculty, staff, and administrators was not always so apparent, it was every bit as important as that between the students. Whatever the age, friends needed one another for support when the pressures got heavy. Good friends knew each other’s thoughts without saying a word. As Prom and Homecoming approached, friends helped each other decide whom to ask or whether to say yes” or no.” They shared anxieties, secrets, and private jokes. Real friends accepted each other’s faults and learned to forgive and forget. Camaraderie was more than a smile or casual “hi” in the hallway. It was sharing the gossip, the laughs, and the tears. We may forget some facts about History or Biology, but we’ll never forget our high school buddies. Jacki Greenberg 182 — COMRADERIE JUMP Auroris Shows Off The lights dimmed and the hushed murmurs died down as the audi- ence looked to the stage and await- ed an exciting night of entertain- ment. The music started and two dancers leapt across the stage. Thus sets the scene for the annual Niles North Auroris Show. The Auroris Show was one of the most popular events of the year. People knew that they could look forward to a dazzling display of talent. But before the dancers per- formed on stage and made it “ look so easy”, hours and hours of prac- tice and rehearsal were put into the final act. While the dancers were dancing, the costume-makers were design- ing. Some costumes were designed and sewn especially for particular dances. Others were bought exclu- sively for the one show, while some usable costumes were found in the school’s costume room. The week of the show. Auroris members stretched, kicked, leaped, and twirled during the rehearsals, which lasted six and a half hours each night. These long, tiresome practices were topped off by a six hour rehearsal the Saturday before the show. While enjoying the act on stage, the audience saw confident young dancers. But what's it like behind the scenes? “You’re really excited because you’ve worked so hard for this one show and you can’t believe you're finally going on,” explains Senior Sylvia Rivera “But right be- fore your act goes on you're so scared you say to yourself, ’Forget it! I’m not doing this!’” As nervous as they were, the danc- ers appeared cool and confident. The show ended with a spectacular finale, followed by a long round of applause. “The audience left the auditorium humming some of the songs and running the dances over in their minds. They were glad that they decided to see the show and were in a great mood,” an usher com- mented. But perhaps even more satisfied than the audience were the dancers. “It’s hard to explain what you’re feeling when the curtain closes and it’s all over.” added Sylvia. “In a way you're sad because this show ends Auroris for the year and you’re going to miss it. But you're really happy because all the hard work paid off and the applause makes you feel great ... You’re so pepped up and have all this energy. It’s a feeling you can't de- scribe.” Janet Velco 184 - CAMARADERIE Decked out in Hawaiian shirts and leis. the Senior Sylvia Rivera is comfortable and whole Auroris club locks arms and partici cozy in her warm paiamas as she glides pates in a long kick line. across the stage.

Treasurer, Lisa Hartman, started off the ceremony by leading every- one in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by numerous other speeches, including those given by class Valedictorians, Rebecca Bar- on. Nancy Chang and Eugene Lin. Class members had practiced the graduation ceremony proceedings for four straight rainy days inside the gym. To the relief of many. June eighth was a sunny and warm Sunday. Most graduates came all decked out , wearing fancy dress- es or three piece suits under their gowns, while a select few chose to be cool about the day, and came with a pair of Jams and a T-shirt under their gowns. Shortly before the graduation cere- mony began prospective college freshman filled the contest gym for Principal Thomas Giles' traditional you were a great class speech.

It was time to issue the diplo mas. Row by row, one by one, students walked up to the stage to receive their diplomas. When the last graduate had her purple folder in her hand, the celebration began. Approximately two hundred purple and white balloons rose from the tennis court and surrounded the entire football field. Those who didn’t mind loosing their caps threw them up in the air with joy. Parents took snap-shots of their sons and daughters who posed with close friends inside and out- side the school building. Students shared tears, hugs, and kisses, as thoughts of never seeing one an- other came to mind. Their years at Niles North had come to an end; It was time to look onward and to- ward the future.

Safari Style Rolling out of bed and coming to school in night clothes was just the beginning of Homecoming Spirit Week. Tuesday was a trip back into the fifties, as the guys greased back their hair and the girls slipped into their poodle skirts. Role Rever- sal Day had the guys in dresses and the girls with moustaches and ci- gars. To tie into the Homecoming theme, Thursday was full of cama- flouge and khaki, and was appropri- ately labeled Safari Day. On Friday the school was colored in the tradi- tional purple and white. Following early dismissal, students and teachers headed toward the foot- ball field for the pep assembly. Fast talking Bruce Wolf, from WLUP radio station, also known as Chet ’Chitchat was the guest speaker at the assembly. The Vi- kettes performed their first place originality routine to The Dark Side, and danced on a car to Greased Lightning for their prop routine. The cheerleaders provided more excitement by leading the student body in Viking chants. The marching band also contributed to the festivities. The pep assembly culminated with the announcement of the 1986 Homecoming Court which consisted of Laura Berger, Leah Borkovitz, Susie Burmeister, Paulette Malits, Arlene Roman, and Amy Stewart; escorted by Michael Kupferberg, Josh Brustin, Alex Col- lins, David Hancock, Tony Tkhy, and Mark Ruby, respectively. The suspense was relieved as Susie Burmeister was announced the 1986 Homecoming Queen. The fun continued Saturday morn- ing at Oakton Bowl as the parade began. Led by the band; the floats, decorated cars, and clowns wound around Skokie towards the final destination of Niles North. At noon, alumni congregated in the West Cafeteria to enjoy doughnuts and bagels provided by the Home- coming Committee. The sophomore football team was defeated by North Chicago in a Warhawk victo- ry. The Varsity team successfully hunted the Hawks in a 28-21 win. To celebrate the triumphant con- quest, students attended the Sa- fari Style” dance. The students took a new twist as they danced to the music of a disc jockey instead of a traditional band. After the last dance was played, many couples enjoyed the rest of the evening alone at a resturant or with a group of friends at a hotel party.

Club members included parents, teachers, and admin- istrators working together to enrich the many extracurricular activities at Niles north. The Athletic Booster Club sold pen- nants. shirts, hats, and numerous oth- er concessions in order to promote spirit and raise funds at the Homecom mg Game. Members also served as chaperones and sold tickets at the Homecoming Dance. These fundraisers financed scholarships which were granted to various senior athletes. The Parent Teacher Student Associ ation met to discuss school-related and community issues. They took positions on legislations affecting or benefittmg children; for example: laws about child abuse and education. The PTSA worked to keep communications open between parents and teachers. They sponsored a faculty breakfast in order to talk with the teachers. Throughout the year, the PTSA sponsored a variety of education al programs. These programs ranged from Open House to International Night The Band Booster helped to raise mon ey for the band. A car wash, calendars, and ad sales were among the Band Booster's successful fundraisers. This club was also responsible for handing out and collectiong the band uniforms and other equipment.

Eighteenth Century Comedy Takes Audience Back In Time The Importance Of Being Earnest, a British comedy written by Oscar Wilder, was performed in D100 by eight students on May 16, 17, and 23. 1986. Set in the 1800's, the play was about John Worthing, a rich snobby man who was played by Josh Alsberg, who whenever he wanted to go to the city used the excuse that he was going to visit his younger brother Earnest. John’s young ward Cecily Cardew. who was played by Erin Jacobs, became intrigued by John’s fabricated tales of his brother and fell in love and pretended to be engaged to Ear- nest. Meanwhile whenever John went to the city he told Gwendo- line. who was played by Rebekah Friedman, that his name was Ear- nest. Gwendoline’s cousin Alger- non, who was played by Andy Le- vin, caught on to John’s scheme involving his imaginary brother. He also discovered that John had a young, pretty ward and pressed John to introduce them. After John refused, he decided to go to the country and pretended that he was Ernest. During th s time Gwendo- line got engaged to John and Alger- non and Cecily got engaged. There was trouble when Gwendoline and Cecily met and discovered they were both engaged to Earnest Wor- thing. They confronted the men and straighten out the situation. The play had a surprise ending in which we found out that John's real name was Earnest and he really was Al- gernon's older brother.

It was set in an Iowa town. River City, where peo- ple were content with their existing lives until Harold Hill, played by Ed Mussman came. Harold Hill made his living travelling from town to town selling instruments and band uniforms with the promise that he would also teach the children how to play their instruments. Since Harold couldn't play a note of mu- sic nor teach one. he made a habit of skipping out of town the mo- ment the instruments and uniforms arrived. This wasn’t the case with River City. Once he arrived in River City Harold went to work convinc- ing the town that a band would keep their children out of trouble. The town’s parents thought that this was a great idea and immedi- ately ordered instruments for their children. Marian, the town's librar- ian. who was played by Lisa Bany, caught on to Harold’s schemes and confronted him only to find that she’s attracted to Harold. Marian wound up falling in love with Har- old against her will. Compelled by his feelings for Marian, Harold Hill did his best to teach the band how to play their instruments and the townspeople were impressed and proud. This allowed Harold to stay in River City safely. He and Marian got engaged to be married in the end. The technical crew, nicknamed ’’Techies.’’ played an enormous part in each production. For Music Man the Techies built the special scenery such as the bridge and the tram. They also had the job of raising and lowering the backdrops for each scene. For each drama production the tech crew had two divisions: construction and running crews. Construction crew people made all the scenery and props. Running crew moved the scenery and props during the play. Music Man was performed in the auditorium on March 6, 7, and 8. 1986. The show went smoothly and entertained students, friends, and family who attended the perfor- mance.

Two children comfort a young goat. In early November a group of sen- ior citizens waited in the audito- rium. They had been invited for a special presentation of the fall play. “Teahouse of the August Moon. The free performance for each of the theatre events has been a tradition at Niles North. Mr. Jerry Proffit. the director, said. It was a big help for the students. It gave them an extra performance and another kind of audience. Teahouse of the August Moon was a comedy set in a remote village of Okinawa during the early 50's. Captain Fisby (Ed Muss- man). an American officer, was re- located to Tobiki village where he was to establish a democracy and stabalize the economy. His supervi- sor. Colonel Wamwright Purdy III (Scott Hirshman). gave him a book of guidelines and a translator named Sakim (Josh Alsberg) and told him to have schoolhouse built. The people of Tobiki used their democratic powers to convince Fisby that a teahouse would be built instead of a schoolhouse. homemade sweet potato brandy. For Teahouse . Tech made some special sets. The largest was the teahouse itself. It stood thirteen feet high and took almost a week to build. They also built an army jeep, which looked real and moved easily across the stage on a plat- form attched to wheels. This year things didn’t go as usual for the fall play. Work had to be delayed because of several things: The new seats weren't all installed in time, and there was a fire and a scare of asbestos. All in all. Tech only lost a week and a half.

The vari- ety show was produced every other year by the Play Production class. To register for the class a student had to be recommended by Mr Jerry Proffit. Over summer va- cation. everyone in the class was responsible for keeping a journal of ideas, skits, and song lyrics. When school began in the fall students who wanted to be on the writing staff composed a resume’ which was reviewed by Mr Jerry Proffit Five people were selected to review and rewrite material for the show. They stayed at Proffit s house one weekend to work on potential skits and songs for the play. Skits, song lyrics, dance steps and set designs were all contributions from stu- dents in the class. After the re- sumes were reviewed, five students were selected to fill the following positions: student director posi- tions were held by Ed Mussman and Debbie Gordon, choreographer: Susan Becker, music director: Adam Kagan, choral director Dan Sigale Working late each night after school was hard on every- body. Most members of the cast and crew all agreed that this type of play was the most fun to work and it was well worth the long evenings spent at school. Everyone gave it their all. Manwah Lee com- mented. “The cast and directors had their doubts about the show at first. I personally thought I would have to come to school in dark glasses or change my name after being seen in Norsecapades but the show turned out to be pretty good.

Their excellent performances were enjoyed by all. The Marching Band, one of four bands at Niles North, conducted by Elton Eisele, performed during half time at every home football game. The Marching Band consisted of eighty-five members who practiced every day before, during and after school until the football season ended. I was really proud of the Marching Band when they placed first at the Wheeling competition, but I wasn't surprised. I was very lucky to have such a talented group of people.” commented Mr Eisele The Flag Team expanded this year and collaborated with Niles West’s Flag Team. They called themselves Winterguard. The ten members from each school practiced each week in preparation for the com- petitive events. Captain Cheryl Kapnick said. The Flag Team start- ed a new tradition this year.

The maior instruments of the Jazz Band were the saxophone, trombone, clarinet, and drums. The Jazz Band, one of three bands directed by Mr. Elton Eisele. not only played a more upbeat type of music, but also performed at various local places. This year the musicians gave a concert at the Tower and Garden Restaurant. Trombonist Russel Sher explained. Being on Jazz Band was really fun because it allowed us to play a different, more dancable type of music ... It was a challenge, but it had alot of ad- vantages. The many accomplish- ments of the Jazz Band included placing fourth at the Rolling Mead ows Competition. The Symphonic and Concert bands each had 65 members. In total, they gave 40 performances throughout the entire year. French horn playerAmelia Samaniego said . “Being in Symphonic band was de- manding because of the advanced level of music we played. I enjoyed it though, because once we learned the material, there was a sense of accomplishment. The Concert band consisted mostly of underclassmen. They also strived for the best in their music, and usually advanced to the Sym- phonic band in the years to come. Each year since Mr. Eisele arrived, the bands have competed in differ- ent states. So far, some of their trips included New Orleans, Orlan- do. Atlanta, and this year they competed in New York. A European trip is also being considered for the future.

Throughout the year they performed several concerts held at Niles North for people who were interested in their upbeat style. Led by Mr Arnold Sklar, the orchestra developed a greater sense of co operation and teamwork while performing the best music in all styles. The orches- tra had four students selected to the Honors Orchestra Anabelle Ji- menez and Alan Winkler, violin; Daniel Sigale. viola and Miriam Bar- on. cello. With six fundraising sales, the orchestra collected mon- ey for the April tour. The strings section, having received a special invitation, went to Philadelphia and performed at Temple University. Choral Union, directed by Mr Rob- ert Anderson accomplished learn- ing a variety of classical and mod- ern music. “This year is a building year. commented Mr. Anderson, “because one-third of my class last year were seniors. Nevertheless I had enough experienced singers to include in the Chamber Choir. The Chamber Choir consisted of twenty select students who auditioned for the Choir and had received a teach- er recommendation.

All year long, Congress's ex- ecutive board members and fifty representatives were dedicated to promoting school spirit, increasing political awareness, and serving the community and district. The Activities Fair was Congress’s first endeavor of the year. The Fair, which took place in the cafeterias and gym, gave each club and orga- nization the opportunity to “show its stuff” in an attempt to attract new members. The newly installed coke machine was another Con- gress-sponsored contribution which Niles North students will enioy for years to come. There was no need to wait until basketball season to have a bash. For the first time ever, students could spend fall nights at Football Bashes. Student Congress organized two Football Bashes to celebrate the triumphant Varsity Team. Several upperclass- men acted as disc jockeys, and the cafeteria was packed with dancing feet. The United Way benefited from the Student Congress Annual Charity Auction. Local merchants donated services and merchandise which were auctioned off to sup- port the United Way. In February, Congress organized the first annual Valentine’s Day Turnabout Dance. “Let the Ladies Lead” was the theme for the semi-formal dance which was held in the balloon-filled gymnasium. The dance was com- plete with a professional DJ, souve- nir balloons, refreshments, and a photographer whose candid pic- tures were later sold to commemo- rate the special night. Congress’s success was evident in the enthusi- astic involvement of the student body Student Congress sponsor Mr. Bill Weiss commented. “It was an exciting, productive year in which student participation was at an all-time high.

Whatever a student’s interests or career plans, there was a club that helped him to enhance his understanding and gain valuable experience. For instance, one student was interested in becoming a teacher. Forensics, Project LEAD, and Student Congress helped him to learn about this field. Forensics helped him to speak comfortably before a group, project lead taught him how to be a good leader, and Student Congress showed him the politics” of the school. A student interested in becoming a stock brocker joined the Math Club, DECA, and the Student Investment Club. The Math Club taught her basic math skills which were needed for bookkeeping, while DECA, the Distributive Educational Clubs of America, showed this future stock broker the art of marketing and advertising. The Student Investment Club gave her a good foundation to learn about investments. Students who took advantage of any of the forty two extra curricular activities at Niles North benefitted from opportunities which they may never have again.

Many students seemed to fit into a stereotypical image, and many people were guilty of categorizing people into a stereotype before they know or understand them. The Saga staff attempted to explore the issue of social groups stereotypes. They chose six students who seemed to fit into very different social categories. A '■group was identified by its clothes, hairstyles, or actions. Most groups hung around together, saw each other on the weekends, and all enjoyed some of the same activities. Through intensive interviews, the Saga staff found that every person in a group had his own worries, interests, and talents.

If anybody walked into a room filled with these people, a first impression would be that this group was a tight- wound clique. Staying for a while would convince the observer, that the words clique, group, and stereotype irritated and were incorrectly used to describe this circle of friends. Often it is assumed that such close friends would spend all their time to- gether. but tor this group, it was the opposite.

Their main mtrests. loked. were Sex, drugs, rock and roll, and Zen Buddism'. Individual pursuits ranged from cooking to meditation, from theatre to politics. Some were absorbed in their studies, enrolled in Honors and AP classes. Others were happy to just make the grade. They participated in different school activi � as a director of Norsecapades. and was active in Student Congress. The friends in this group made up the majority of the Key Club. For rj jand her friends, the weekend was a time to relax and escape the pressures of school. Their weekends usually consisted of small, private par ties at someone's house on one night, and an evening downtown or in Greek- town on the other. They went to mov- ies at the Fine Arts Theatre (favorites were Sid and Nancy and The Hunger), and enjoyed concerts by Steve Wind wood. Crosby. Stills, and Vas ?.and The Firm. They also attended the June '86 Amnesty International show. Not every weekend was super memo- rable. Some nights were spent trying to decide what to do. admitted, “We’re all so different that it’s hard to find things to do together.” However, there were certain events that would hold certain memories for all of them. Dinner at Ed Debevic’s (preceding a minor, yet enjoyable fiasco), Home- coming. and the 1987 New Year's cele- bration were among the times to be remembered. The dream weekend, it was decided, would be a few days out of town, although the exact destination could not be agreed upon. to be liberal, feministic, non materialis- tic, peace seeking democrats. Many of them were vegeterians, and all of them spoke out against nuclear arms. Trust was what their relationships with each other were based on. They were good friends - they were very caring and open. They were by no means shallow people, and they were support- ive of each other confidently stated. “If I ever had a problem.

More than four hundred young adults were finished with high school forever. Meanwhile, four hundred new freshman counted the days until Septem- ber. What was the purpose of high school? What would they look back on and remember? Twenty years from now, would they remember or care that General Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House? High school was a place to grow, mature, and learn what they needed to know in order to live in the real” world. Niles North stressed responsibilities. Students were expected to make sure they completed the graduation requirements. They were confronted with challenges and decisions. They had to deal with pressures from their teachers, parents, and peers. They were offered opportunities and had to decide if and how to take advantage of them. Finally, high school was a place to learn about relationships-whether business-related or personal. It was a time for each student to learn what type of people were best for himself. It was also a time to break through stereotypes and really get to know other people. Any student who took advantage of these opportunities graduated with not just a high school education but something more. Someday every student would remember high school and realize why he or she was so proud to be a Viking. Karyn Friedman A letter from the Editor Last Words Advisor Mr. Dennis Grabowski Copy Editors: Karyn Friedman, lacki Greenberg Photographer: Dan Auslin Computer Editors: Jeffrey Alter, Kevin Kohn Freshmen Editor: Steven Gardberg Sophomore Editor: Joyce Ahn Junior Editor: Barrie Goldberg Senior Editor: Jenny Thun Faculty Editor: Linda Skolnick Acedemics Editor: Tina Vaggelatos Organizations Editor: MaryAnne Masalihit Contributing Writer: Ellen Zfaney General Staff: Elaine Chan Sari Harris Sue Kushner Carol Mui Amy Pellman Nanci Rosendorn Tanya Schensema Sherrie Silver Janet Velco Dear Staff, I must say that working with you this year has been an experience. We started out with a virgin staff and relatively few ideas, yet managed to transform 264 blank pages into memories that will last a lifetime. I don't only mean the memories printed in this, your second most important high school document. Sure, the book will come in handy for looking up a special friend, reliving Homecoming, or showing your kids who took the conference football title in 1986. For you, my faithful staff, this book may remind you of your most hectic year in high school. You may remem- ber the work nights we pulled, staying until 9:00 P.M. - once, only to lose everything we had written that evening when a power failure wiped our floppy disks clean. Suprisingly enough, we made just about every deadline. Of course, there were the fun times. The ski trip could not be forgotten, could it? And trying to give the pizza delivery boy directions to our office - that was hysterical! All of that took place once upon a time from room A106. “Proud to be a Viking” was the theme of the 1987 Saga. The theme of the production of it could have been Changes . This book will stand out from any other yearbooks on your shelf. We broke away from the tradition of clean lines on the cover and introduced a fun new look. The new Jostens’ Micro Graphics Series word proccessing program greatly facilitated the copywriting aspect of the book. We extended the opening section, giving everyone a chance to work with four-color. As we moved along to the Personalities section, placed in the beginning of the book, we got rid of our usual feature articles and added a continuing story to the Senior section. We tried to present a more exciting layout in the sports and activities sections. We condensed the organizations section into relatively few pages, eliminating the hassle of writing about inactive clubs and searching for non-existant photos. That left room for more pages of candids, and an experimental section, Profiles”. That closing section was developed very carefully; it was nothing we had ever seen done before. Although at times I didn’t know what to do with you guys, I realize that the production of the Saga would have been impossible without your hard work, support, and aggravation. I’d tribute each one of you individually, but I don't have those 80 extra picas to work with. However, I do wish to extend special thanks to our advisor, Mr. Dennis Grabowski for having the patience to deal with us and the courage to go along with some of the outlandish ideas I came up with.
