Ringling Brothers likes to claim that they have the greatest show on earth; their fantastic display of wild animals, clamoring clowns, and daring acrobats, leave audiences with chin-hanging, open-mouthed expres¬ sions. That’s the circus, and though a phenomenon of sorts, the enchantment of the circus cannot compare with the fantastic assem¬ blage of young people at schools each fall, especially when students come together with such great spirit as do West-goers. School spirit seems to be associated with sports, and rightly so, since excitement runs high at athletic events. Sports challenge stu¬ dents to participate with all their effort and to support our teams heartily. Each individual’s sensations at a football game, for in¬ stance, combine to form an unlimited supply of excitement, a spirit of victory and pride. The term “school spirit” cannot be reserved for sports teams alone; students at Niles West keep busy with many organizations that are also team efforts. Those who have exceptional mathematic ability participate in the Math Team; others may enjoy exercising their Enjoying the sights of Skokie and Morton Grove, Homecoming court members Paul Schramm and Kelli Lochner smile with delight. A special float was provided for court members. governing abilities in class cabinets, Union, or Student Senate. Of course, every student, regardless of talent, may participate in foreign language or ethnic clubs, and learn that spirit can be communicated through the bounds of language. A strong sense of spirit can be sensed in organizations such as Amnesty International, S.A.D.D., and NHS which center around the betterment of the community. Still other organizations such as Orchestra, Art Council, Band, West of Edens, and Theater provide an outlet for appreciation and partic- pation in the arts. All these activities not only develop a pride in the school, but form bonds of friendship and respect between students, their peers, and their sponsors. One last and very important spirit flows through the student body, academic spirit. Though not ever yone excels in scholarship, learning serves as the binding element of a school; without the need for education, schools would be unnecessary, and the relationships which grow among young people and between students and teachers, even the entire spirit of adolescence would be diminished. Education does exist, and it has brought together a lot of special relationships among people at Niles West. The great phenomenon occurs every year, and it brings about a strong spirit of community of which every student and teacher can be proud! 2 Doing It All - Opening Junior Karen that you’re only feel.

From freshman acting wildly at the frosh- soph mixer to seniors at their final formal prom, students enjoy all festivities. 60’s, Mexican, and toga themes lure par¬ ty-goers to a world of multicolored balloons and streamers, exotic music, and dancing. Freshman year: mom’s or dad’s car pulls up to drop off mobs of underclassmen. Inside, students wrapped in bed sheets, bearing tie-dyes, shades, and beaded jewelery rock the night away.

Beginning with the early morning, the life of a NiWeHi stu¬ dent is off and running. Whether it be the task of catching the bus or waiting for a friend’s ride, everyone is op their toes. The school day proceeds, but never without excitement. Whether it be escaping from study hall, to the cafeteria, lounging on the front lawn to get that “summer tan,” or picking up a new spot to indulge an afternoon lunch, students find new and different ways to spend their day. The after school scene provides even more excitement. Club meetings, detentions, and practices do not encompass the major¬ ity of the day. Many students find themselves shopping, going out with friends, or working part time. However, as the sun begins to set, students head for home. They grab a bite to eat, turn on the television, call a friend, and finally tend to some homework before heading to bed. Freshmen are learning the NiWeHi ways as sophomores and juniors continue to practice this ritual, and seniors have master- end to DO IT ALL!!!!

Mini Magazine 9 Dating Evolution ust as Poodle Skirts, Hula Hoops and a Betty Boop have become a thing of the v past, so have certain views towards dat¬ ing. Girls no longer have to wait by the phone for that “Special Someone” to call or sit at home on a Saturday night because they re¬ main dateless. Likewise, boys no longer need to spend weeks of hard earned money for their dates. The Eighties have arrived! Throughout the years, the attitude toward teens dating has changed. Unlike the old days of the 50’s and 60 ' s, the 80’s girl has no fear of asking a guy out. The guys no longer have to make all the plans or the first moves, so they feel less pressure. Twenty years ago, girls expected guys to pay for the dates. Now the girl often offers to pay for the date, or the couple goes dutch. If the couple desires to feast at a nice restaurant or attend a school dance, the costs add up. Bv splitting the cost, the couple can afford special activities, while both contributing to the relationship. In the past years, not a guy or girl dared to stay home on a Saturday night-” Date Night.” It proved deadly if a person re¬ mained dateless. At the present time, the weekend allows kids to “Hangout” or “Cut- loose” either with buddies or out on a date. Dates do not occur on a set night anymore, but rather when the couple can afford to go out! Not having a boyfriend or girlfriend pre¬ sents few’ problems since people seem to like being free and choose to hangout in large groups, instead of clinging as couples. The 8Cfs brings less pressure to have a boy-girl friend relationship than before. Throughout the years, attitudes towards many of life’s aspects, including dating have changed. Showing more equality in relation¬ ships, no longer do girls depend on guys for the first move or for the expenses of the dates. Less pressure falls on the teens to date, because the 80’s kids feel content with their friends. If kids want to go out they will; if not, at least they won’t be called, as they used to say, a “Square.” Mindy Grossberg Sharing special moments can be as simple as five minutes spent at chemistry homework, or as compli¬ cated as a ten-second kiss. Captur¬ ing these moments is not difficult, because they are so special. (Students. Friends And_? Niles West students are very confident about having friends of mixed sexes. In fact, hardly anyone has res¬ ervations about spend¬ ing time with members of the opposite sex. Here are the results of some questions, which probed the feelings stu¬ dents have about each other. Do you feel confident about having friends of mixed sexes? — 97.5% answered YES, only 1.3% an¬ swered NO. Do you have a small group of friends you are closest to, or are you one person in a big crowd of friends? — 60.8% are part of a small crowd, 21.5% are one in a big crowd. As for dating, almost everyone enjoys that pastime. When they were asked, 94.9% of students said they en¬ joy dating, only 1.3% said they did not. Gen¬ tlemen, pay attention. If you would like to ask a girl out here’s what she’s looking for: — 71.4% of girls at West wait for the guy to ask her out, only 28.6% will make the leap and ask you. — 31% of the girls at West will flirt to cap¬ ture your hearts, 50% will be typically ladies and play it cool. Here are the most com¬ mon things that at¬ tracts a girl to a guy: personality 57.1% appearance 50% sense of humor 14.3% charm and depth 9.5% intelligence 7.1% money 4.8% Ladies, though you enjoy your fancies, it is important to under¬ stand the male species as much as possible. — 51.4% of guys at West are too timid sometimes to ask a girl out, while 40.5% have an unending supply of courage.

With Friends RRRRing! As the bell for the next class sounds, students depart from their confined classrooms and emerge into the hallways, congregating with friends they’ve seen just the period before. Only a pre¬ cious five minutes remain for brief conversation with classmates travelling in the same direction. However, having friends with whom to share those few moments greatly enriches that time. Friendships, an integral part of high school, provide students the environment in which to grow not only academically, but socially as well. Whether in the cafeteria, resource centers, or the Oakton Lobby, friends always talk jovially to one an¬ other. On one of those off days when the sun doesn’t shine or studying all night does not pay off for an exam, and everything else simply goes every which way but the way intended, knowing there is a smiling friend to reach out to provides comfort and encouragement. When entering high school as freshmen, students felt everything loomed big and foreign in front of them. The older students had already established their positions and identities, leaving the freshmen feeling a bit inse¬ cure about where they stood. But during that first day, students made new acquaintances which soon devel¬ oped into lasting friendships, creating memories of nev¬ er-to-be-forgotten happy times and not so happy times. Treasured moments and treasured memories are syn¬ onymous with friendships. Returning to school after long vacations and weekends becomes easier and a little less foreboding knowing expeditions and experiences can be shared with friends. As the number of days until graduation dwindles, the realization that friends will soon embark on their separate paths becomes more and more of a reality, and they find saying good-bye the hardest part of high school. Each becomes richer for having known the other person, for as the favorite mov¬ ie “It’s a Wonderful Life” stresses, “No man is a failure who has friends.” Christina Gabriel A smile during a conversation can leave a lasting impression on a friend. Students often share simple moments that add up to lasting relationships. Sensational (Summer he last bell of the school year rings, and sudden¬ ly, the summer begins. An indescribeable sense of freedom overwhelms students, and with their free time during the summer, they relax and forget about everything associated with school. For many peo¬ ple, this includes friends, too. When the summer break begins, most students do not disregard their friend¬ ships, but extend them to new and exciting summer¬ time experiences. A chemistry study group may turn into a beach party; a filmstrip becomes a trip to a film festival; a few lunch mods become a day at the Taste of Chicago; or a gym period becomes a volleyball game at the park. Though not as simple as seeing friends at school everyday, making summer plans often provides richer experiences with friends to cherish always. Several junior football fans in¬ terrupt their conversation to watch the kick-off fly deep into the opposi¬ tion’s territory. Football games and other sports activities set the perfect scene for friendly get-togethers. Mini Magazine 7 e Sce te The 60’s Relived, Or Just Revisited? urs is a strange genera¬ tion. Walking through our carpeted hallways, one can’t help but see the so¬ cial groups that make up the diverse population of Niles West, each with its own unique hair style, dress code, taste in music, behavior or some com¬ bination of the above which distinguishes it from the rest. Many of these groups think they original, but the truth is that just about everything they do has already been done by someone else, probably some¬ one who went to school in the late 1960 ' s and early 70 ' s, for that was when originality and individuality were really in style. The 1960’s were a time of rebellion against authority and establishment, but they were also a time when teenagers had fun and sometimes upset the status quo just for the thrill of it. Some students in those days believed a thought commonly held at the time: nature cannot be improved upon; if one adds to it, it becomes unnatural. Girls did not primp in front of the mirror, and sports especial¬ ly body building, were frowned upon by students of both sexes. How amazing and strange all this sounds to us. Few things are of greater concern to our generation than appearance, and people are spending more money to improve what nature has given them than ever be¬ fore. Nature might be great, but it requires a little help. Girls start wearing make up before they enter their teens, and boys start working out in the weight room shortly there¬ after. In fact, it seems our gen¬ eration will go to any means to improve appearance. Students even take steroids to accelerate their natural development. The mirror is also back in style. Girls and boys alike spend quite a bit of time checking their appearance, practicing smiles. What really distinguished stu¬ dents of that era from other groups was their tendency to have an opinion about everyth¬ ing and to be outspoken about those opinions. For instance, during a teacher’s strike, the students who supported the teachers would join them in the picket lines. Three years ago when the teachers picketed here for higher wages, no cit¬ ings of concerned students were reported, and the over¬ whelming response of students was one of delight: an extra va¬ cation — what a nice treat! As for political involvement of students nowadays, there is considerable interest in the na¬ tional elections, but less in lo¬ cal politics. Some students worked this past fall for repub¬ lican and democratic cam¬ paigns. For the election of members of the school board, which affect students’ lives more immediately, however, there is much less inclination to be involved. Perhaps the students’ great¬ est concern was the war in Vietnam. They generally shared in the view that the United States had no business being in the war. But whatever opinion they held, their con¬ cern and awareness caused them to be confused and disil¬ lusioned. These thoughts were reflected in their writings and artwork collected in OPUS 1, which is now known as West of Edens. Underground newspa¬ pers also emerged at this time and were about the length of our present West Word issues. Some similarities in the spirit of those journalists and authors of papers such as SPLAT! re¬ flect the desire to give extra opinions on current events. Just as students in those days had opinions for almost every subject, so were they interested in almost everything. Religion and race were not things taken into consideration as much as they are now. with the popular¬ ity of ethnic clubs and Bible study groups. Nevertheless, in such a diversely populated high school, most students find “Underground news¬ papers, the predeces¬ sors to SPLAT!, emerged at this time. ” common interest with people of differing races and religious beliefs, and many students date people of other backgrounds. As for disturbing the status quo, students then perhaps had more threatening restrictions to battle than today. For in¬ stance, there was a strictly en¬ forced dress code which re¬ quire boys to wear slacks and button-down shirts and girls to wear blouses and skirts which reached below the knee. Girls would not be allowed to come to school wearing pants, until a plan was devised by the student body. Through announcements in the underground newspaper, a day was designated when all the girls were to come to school wearing pants. Many did, and because it would be absurd to send home nearly half the stu¬ dent body, they were allowed to stay, and the restrictions be¬ gan changing to the students’ favor. These days, the battles are fought through the student senate. No individual groups seem to take the initiative in continued . . .

Most students seem content with the school environment, though there are closed halls and food is not allowed in the Oakton Lobby. There exists far less oppres¬ sion and reason for anger for students today than there was twenty years ago. Though we are products of a different era, students nowadays share in many ways the spirit of stu¬ dents twenty years ago. We emulate them quite often, wearing tie dye shirts, torn jeans, looking very much like “Dead heads,” and we enjoy the music that they created. We have our own individual styles, however, that distin¬ guish our two generations. Stu¬ dents now are much more in¬ volved in school activities, sports and clubs. Group efforts occur within the established systems of the school, the re¬ presentative bodies such as the senate and class cabinets. In short, there seems to exist more of a sense of school spirit through everything that is done. Mikhail Lyubansky Sharing thoughts and ideas are important parts of students’ days. Much learning goes on outside of the classroom in discussion with friends. Great Presidents hang on the wall behind him, but Junior Richard Yang does not merely look to the past. He concentrates building a bright future for Niles West and for himself. Bush’s Victory Post-Inauguration Results In a great election year as the one recently passed, opin¬ ions of students are aroused and displayed in a surprising¬ ly strong voice. The school mock election found George Bush the victor of the 1988 presidential election, but how did they feel about their decision afterwards, and what other concerns were raised by the election? How do you see the next four years under Bush’s Ad¬ ministration? — 64.6% see the term as favorable, 25.3% see it other¬ wise. An important thought for teenagers as they grow is whether they feel they have an influence with a vote. — 58.2% said they think it would give them power, 37.9% disagreed. Finally, many outside issues were brought up in the campaign. It was hard not to begin to become aware of current events while following the elec¬ tion. Here are the issues students listed as the greatest human concerns: threat of w ar need for peace 32.9% the hungry, impoverished, homeless 22.8% AIDS threat and sex education 10.1% material success 6.3% the environment 5.1% spiritual hunger 5.1% religious political freedom 2.5% Mini Mag 13 14 76e Scene . . . With Upperclassmen o one can deny that the more concentration one puts into something, the less of a problem it becomes, and the more benefit it pro¬ duces. Inspiration is all one needs to open himself to billions of possibilities. School has been established to provide the necessary inspiration. It introduces students not only to knowledge but also to other people and interests. Seniors often look back to their years at West and wonder why they didn’t do certain things, many times regretting opportu¬ nities passed. But because of their somewhat developed maturity, seniors also look back and realize how many things they have accomplished, and how much they have enjoyed them¬ selves. A simple comparison between the attitudes of people who participate in activities can be made, for instance. Freshmen love to participate in clubs to be “in the crowd,” sophomores partici¬ pate passively, juniors because they be¬ gin to realize how good it would look on their transcripts, but seniors through the years have grown to truly care about the organizations and the people in them. They have broken from the crowd and become individuals, doing it all because they realize their presence makes a difference. It is an arrogant, yet humbling mindset, since along with in¬ dividuality comes responsibility. It is a mindset that may be applied to all fac¬ ets of life, especially in high school. Seniors have struggled to build them¬ selves, so now they live freely, without the burden or need to impress others. They have done it all, and they are hav¬ ing it all! Seniors’ Empire ost seniors have come to the conclusion that they hold the reverence of the entire student body and consider Niles West their “Empire.” Wher¬ ever this notion emerged from, ju¬ niors are wise to the misconcep- The West Word is very popular among stu¬ dents, and Senior Sally Ko especially enjoys the editorials written by her classmates. tion and accept this absurd facade. They know that seniors are all talk and no action. Juniors, however, do have a slight sense of admiration for their fellow upperclassmates. Seniors exhibit a feeling of freedom as they “float” through their last year at West with a carefree atti¬ tude; they stand ready to take a step higher in life, and ready to respond to different experiences regardless which path of life they choose. On the whole, juniors and sen¬ iors consider each other friends, sharing mutual admiration. To¬ ward the end of the school year, the groups become even closer, as the juniors learn the tricks of the trade to becoming “perfect” sen¬ iors. Eventually, the “Empire” is handed down to the new group of classmen who, like their senior friends, try to appear as the domi¬ nant force in the school. So con¬ tinues this never-ending high school tradition . . .

The Joker Strikes Again r he Joker stormed into the office at Niles West in search of a hiding place from the Dynamic Duo. He marveled at the thought of seeing a rerun of one of his performances on the t.v. screens there. To the Joker’s dismay, they were not televisions, but Macintosh computers. The cunning culprit soon got over his misery because he discovered the senior student files and began changing names to better suit his deranged disposition. When Batman and Robin arrived, they found the office swimming in banners of printer paper, on which the Joker had printed the changed names. “Holy candy corn cakes, Batman!

Some of them will go to college to con¬ tinue studies while others will enter the world of work. Recalling the past three years of high school, seniors have many stored experiences that will last forever. Recollections of athletic events, the drudgery of every school day, Homecom¬ ing, and Prom remain long after graduation. This last year marks a change in the lives of all seniors who realize that this ends four years of sharing ex¬ periences with friends they may never see again. Guys and gals seem more unified, with strong feelings of togetherness. New¬ found maturity helps them re¬ alize that they don’t have much time left to be with each other for in June, the seniors will go their own separate ways.

It melts the snow away, causes plants to grow, and brings a new generation of animals to life. It also dries our clothing and our hair and cooks our food. Without heat, many things would be im¬ possible. Most people can’t tolerate the thought of an ice age in which there would be no spring or summer trips to the hot sands of Florida. Heat caused by the sun means summer, tanned skin, and no school, and these in turn represent re¬ lief to every burned-out, almost-crazed student longing for a time to ex¬ perience non-thought-re¬ quiring activities. To¬ wards the end of the school year, in late May and early June, a time when the brains of stu¬ dents have reached the “relief needed” level, heat also causes a slow¬ down in academic pro¬ duction. Summer means a vacation for thought cells, and the school sud¬ denly fills with sweaty, zombie-like students. An immediate remedy for heat exhaustion is a cool atmosphere. A few years ago, this cure was “attempted.” The goal: keep the building cool; the method: blocking up half the windows in the school. The students still feel the results: less air circulation, less sunlight, and more need to keep doors open to create a draft in the class. Of course, these procedures brought on growing com¬ plaints of noisy hallways, so the halls were closed, ■■■■■ NO WAY OUT. The sweltering heat is not outside, but inside the building, causing these students to race for the door. _ Enjoying the unusually warm fall weather is one thing, but Senior Hak Kang imagines himself in the jungle, swing from vine to branch. causing more people to flock to places like the over-crowded cafeteria, which, in turn, caused more gathered heat and more unrest among stu¬ dents. An additional rem¬ edy for noisy halls ap¬ peared suddenly over one summer: the infamous carpeting. One can only wonder of what synthetic fibers that turf consists, but it certainly has the 1 V capacity to trap heat and especially humidity. Ap¬ parently, the decisions made many years ago have not only not solved the problem, but have also caused more prob¬ lems. Overall, the stu¬ dents have been left to suffer the heat from both Mother Nature and the angry faculty (the latter having few complaints about the heat because the teacher’s lounge is air-conditioned). Niles North students enjoy the same comforts as our teachers, since their school is air conditioned. So, it seems that West students are being denied the privileges the faculty and Northerners are granted. Hmmmm. Can these be causes for revo¬ lution? “The needs of the Westerners vs. the satiat¬ ed faculty and Northern¬ ers.” Well, those op¬ pressed may rise up! — but maybe when the heat cools off a bit.

Fashion, clothing, and style also vary as the weather changes. In the winter, worn- out brown leather jackets, warm furry mittens, and heavy wool sweaters become a must. Spring time offers the opportunity to begin wearing outrageous hot pink t-shirts, white cotton pants, lighter-weight windbreakers, and docksiders (without socks, of course!) By the time summer arrives, skimpy neon bathing suits, khaki shorts, and revealing tank tops prevail. Fall clothing consists of blue denim jack¬ ets, ripped, washed-out jeans, and long-sleeved plaid flannel shirts. No matter what the weather, sweatshirts always provide an easy solution to the morning quandary of what of wear. Whether the temperature soars to 90 degrees or takes a dip toward the zero mark, students wear colorful sweatshirts. Some advertise a well-known college such as Kansas with its red, yellow, and blue Jayhawk: others indicate patronage at the Hard Rock Cafe and Ed Debevics. Whatever the season, stu¬ dents enjoy fun activities and a wide variety of clothing to “suit all types of weather. Debbie Brodsky Mini Mag 1 Tfta in? 76e Scene . . Entertainment - An Imaginative Other World T o express their abounding cultural interests students may participate in activities, or they may observe others performing them. Though many students sing or play an instrument, most also enjoy listening to tunes on the radio or watching music videos. They may even spend an evening at the Civic Opera House to enjoy a musical. Cultural interest don’t always reflect students talents. Sit¬ ting in a theater with a bag of popcorn and a Diet Pepsi provides many people with all the entertainment they need. For simple amusement, reruns of “M.A.S.H.” entertain and relax many students. When television becomes tiresome, a quiet evening reading a paperback, playing the Nintendo Entertainment System, or spending an extravagant evening at the theater watching “Les Miserables” takes the students into an imaginative other world . . . When students find interest in an activity, they discover others who enjoy the activity and introduce them to many other interest as well. Some of these interests merely remain enjoyable activities, while others become increasingly involving, but all relieve school worries and provide simple pleasure. Meet George Jetson! Cartoons still hold a place in the hearts of teenagers, providing a silly break in all the serious periods of study. 1 Throughout the day, the sound of music fills the corridors and classrooms of the Music Wing. Eat, Relax, And Be Merry The most common pastime for students, aside from catching up on lost sleep, comes in the forms of a variety of entertainment.

I walked down the hallway, my mind not retaining anything, my body going through the normal routine: heel hitting the ground, passing the motion to the arch then the ball of the foot, ankle and toes bending, knee bending, foot coming off the ground, hip putting to the forward motion again. My teeth gnashed down on the spicy gum; my legs kept their steady movement, press¬ ing the rubber sole of my tennis shoe against the rigid loops of carpet. My mind didn’t notice any of these motions (I could have still been in English as far as my brain was concerned), my eyes didn’t see anything around me, and I really didn’t care to think about what I wasn’t thinking about. I walked in the perfect state of mellow mindedness . . . Suddenly I dropped my book, creat¬ ing a horrible break in rhythm! I tried to continue in fluent motion by keeping the sound of the steps in my mind — THUNK!! lift . . THUNK! lift . . With slightly fragmented assurance, I bent over and replaced the book in the space left for it between my waist and the folders resting on my arm. Playing the game of nonchalance, I put this inci¬ dent in the back of my mind, in a pile reserved for reasons to be paranoid. The pile would grow and grow until a situation like this one would cause an overflow, and I would be overcome by an army of paranoia stimulators. As if I had never let the book fall from my grip, I continued walking in my semi- befuddled state of mind. Peo¬ ple would converse, but I would just walk, not noticing that they were mov¬ ing or talking or grimacing; I would walk getting dizzy from the dull light, crowded hall, and ringing sound in my ears . . . Unexpectedly, a face caught my eye, a voice filled my ears, but in a moment it passed. I turned, blindly, returning the greeting to someone whom I didn’t recognize until a few moments later. I walked into my science class, and sud¬ denly a beautiful word filled my head: sleep. Unfortunately for my weary mind, science teachers have a wonder¬ ful system of keeping students awake. Finally, I hopped on the bus at the end of the day, and though I couldn’t re¬ member much of the day, I managed to remember the sensation of feeling for the first time the difference between an underclassman and ME. The mounds of paranoia relaxing melted away . . . Nikoletta Antonakos 22 Seniors Assessing the damage, seniors Henry Rodriguez and Melissa Con¬ nell gaze at Henry’s toilet papered car.

Some students show freshman fears by a lack of sleep; others wear a scared facial expression while walking down the huge halls. The first day of school brings the real test. Uncertainty about making a lot of friends or none, getting hard classes or easy, losing the way or getting laughed at, keeps students on their toes. These normal fears lessen as the year goes on, and as students feel more at home. As a sophomore, a student can defi¬ nitely say that the maturity shows. No longer does the student run to the side of the hall when an upperclassman starts walking towards him, nor does he hesitate to walk into the cafeteria for Studying intently, senior Niki Antonakos com pletes her homework assignment. Many students complete their assignments at school and keep their evenings free to go out. Ghjdwh At Lait fear of getting something thrown at him. A sophomore believes that he can conquer the world if necessary. Juniors, finally in the upper half of the school, start to develop the attitude of big shots. With no need to prove any thing to anyone, a junior assumes that an upperclassman will look up to him and as a result he walks with his head held high. Most juniors don’t allow the pressures of their junior year get them down or diminish their social life. At last students prepare for the final stretch. After three strenuous years, maturity has finally reached a new peak. The difficulty of school may not lessen, but the social life setting be comes the best ever. Now students must spend hours in deep thought about the future options hoping for ideas to form a perspective for the future.

Physical education provides an opportunity for students to unleash their stored energy during the school day. Seniors 31 P tiod The long awaited bell, signals students to stand. They pour into the hallways, with books and pens in hand. They hate the violent struggle, just to make it through the crowd. They go deaf from hallway sounds, That usually seem quite loud. They happily greet their friends, and often shove their foes. After reaching their lockers, students see how fast time goes. They roll through their books, and slam their lockers shut, while facing strange looks. Students race up the stairs, as halls begin to clear. They glance at their watches, and find the second bell near. When they arrive at their classes, their moods become more sour. They’ll repeat the same ritual, in three-quarters of an hour.

Searching for the answers along with the appropriate post high school institutions, most seniors still seem mys¬ tified. Though NiWeHi offers various career oriented classes, as child develop¬ ment, accounting, interior decorating and economics, students continue to look at all available avenues. Differ¬ ent factors influence differ¬ ent individuals. Some go for the prestige, others for the money and finally others for personal happiness and suc¬ cess. Senior Janey Yu com¬ mented, “I want a career that interests me but at the same time I want the money and prestige.” As seniors decide on the career choices, they must evaluate their chosen college for its success in the appro¬ priate field of study they have chosen. Law bound stu¬ dents consider the presti¬ gious law schools that may give a head-start for their fu¬ ture careers. Prominent busi¬ ness schools for those in¬ clined in entrepreneurship. Music and art schools for those inspired in the arts. On the job training facilities for those wanting a quick start to life. The list continues . ..

On weekends they kept themselves occupied, To stay out of trouble, they even lied. Football games, parties, or nothing at all, To just hangin’ out, having a hall. Seniors now, the year they have waited for, Soon they will graduate and walk out the door. A scary thought going to college alone. Hut after a while, they won’t want to come home.

For a small sum of money a student can buy a whopping gyros with all the trimmings. As experienced consumer Laura Schrager explains, “It makes your stomach full, without emp¬ tying your wallet!” Other students prefer fast food sources located near Niles West such as Mallo’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy ' s. Besides draining the pocket, these franchises offer a variety of spe¬ cialties to please student appetites. Ju¬ nior Matt Brennan states, “I like McDonald ' s because they have good salads, especially the Chicken-Orien¬ tal.” Others like these places for the traditional burgers-fries-coke routine. For those calorie conscious students, La Salade and Dairy Delight have cooked up some great creations under 400 calories. Anything a health food lover or dieter might crave can be pur¬ chased at either place. Junior Chris Puijic likes La Salade because “It’s something low cost, and low calorie, and it tastes good.” Students do, of course, get bored with the same food and faces at NiWeHi but Senior Mindy Grossberg summed up the real reason why high schoolers munch somewhere else. “It gives us a chance to get away even if it’s just for a little while.” Marla Schrager After hours of studying, senior Lori Clark breezes through her test.

Because this technique seems to work for freshmen and seniors alike, nearly everyone uses it at one time or another. In order to brown-nose a teacher, the student must perform special chores, little extra favors to make the teacher feel appreciated. In return, the teacher especially likes the student. Although the student may really like the teacher, these favors count for extra points to make that borderline grade lean toward the higher one instead of the lower one. Many different techniques fall into the category of brown-nosing. Every morning, the student can greet the teacher with a bright smile and a cheery hello, even though the student himself hasn’t waken up by 7:45 a.m. In class, the student can raise his hand to answer every question without knowing half the answers. The teacher won’t pick on the student since he has already an¬ swered questions, and the teacher wants to give others a chance. The stu¬ dent can also come to class te n minutes early everyday to wash the board, sweep the floor, and water the plants. Anything that makes the teacher happy puts a plus toward the student’s grade. If the student has missed the chance to earn good grades academical¬ ly, nothing beats brown-nosing as an alternative.

Peer Counseling groups contain eight to ten students and two leaders. The groups, depending on the people, can be either joking or serious or even a combination of both. Students discuss subjects such as music or personal problems. They often play games. Some students snack on chips or cookies during their meetings, while others even go so far as to order piz¬ za. Listening skills, problem detection, conversation starters, and initial ice breakers constitute the train¬ ing program which group leaders go through.

Tie-dye belts, folders, pants, t-shirts, and even purses abound throughout the school. Students have varying opinions about these exotic accessories. Junior Jeff Mar¬ golin, commented, “I think the tie-dyes are for other people, but not for me, they can have them.” Senior Lynn Pappas explained the change improved the atmo¬ sphere in the school. “I think that if people wore them right the new look would be spectacular.” added Rodney Pintang. Although many students wear tie-dyed clothes and ac¬ cessories, the variety of col¬ ors and patterns still allow individuality to dominate the halls. If students contin¬ ue wearing these eye-catch¬ ing clothes then this fad will live on. If not, this fad will live up to it’s name and “dye” along with the yo-yo and hula hoop.

To them, their high school days seem end¬ less as time drudges on. However, when the end of the year nears, students think fondly and a bit sadly upon the memories of friends and special mo¬ ments. For the first time, they must face the prospect of saying good-bye to close friends who will be going their separate ways. Saying good-bye, though necessary, often proves to be a very sorrowful ex¬ perience and never easy. Regardless of time or circumstances, good-byes are al¬ ways hard to express and never fail to sound so final. But good friendships should last forever, making good-byes not permanent, but merely temporary farewells. While seniors enjoy their remaining days at Niles West, they feel happiness at completing this chapter of their lives, and also a touch of melancholy for the friends they shall leave behind. Thus, it is with sadness that the graduating sen¬ iors bid each other adieu. Christina Gabriel With pen in hand, senior Kevin Steele rigorous¬ ly takes notes for his college prep, class.

Tony Annes Pantelis Antoniou Ann Argetsinger Marci Aronesti ft ; 1 58 Juniors Athletics, Activities Abound As soon as the bell rings and classes end, students find that no matter what their interest, clubs and sports offer an abundance of activities. Club member¬ ship gives students a chance to show their talents. From the game of chess to the game of basketball, everyone can get involved. Positive rewards such as sharing ex¬ periences and motivating others go with membership. Whether putting on a play or scoring the winning touch¬ down, as a team, students work together and achieve their goals. Recalling her experiences as a cabinet member, soph¬ omore Terri Wawrzyniak explains, “A chance to get to work with my friends and to help plan activities, I get a feel¬ ing of accomplishment when activities are successful.” In addition, active stu¬ dents find that participation helps them to develop a sense of commit¬ ment. According to senior Andy LaLi- berty, “In a club you’re depended on. If you play trumpet in the band and don’t show up, then the entire band is affect¬ ed. The commitment prepares kids for life and the job world.” Regardless of the club or sport select¬ ed, students develop self-confidence and achieve greater self-esteem by join¬ ing an after school activity.

Added Pressure Juniors and seniors become bundles of nerves with dark circles under their eyes and fatigue visible in their manner. The two big weeks of AP exams have arrived all too soon. The Advanced Placement Program or AP provides motivated students with the opportunity to earn college credits or advanced placement in college for work done in high school. Students take a national examination sometime in May; resulting scores of 3 out of 5 or higher usually qualify for credit. Students take AP courses for many reasons. These courses cover subjects in Completing their assignments to satisfac¬ tion, underclassmen strive to keep their GPA from lowering. Colleges put a great emphasis on grade point averages, causing students to work hard during their first three years. greater depth, allowing the students to learn more. Also, students may save money and time by earning college credits. Though many students often wonder how they will live through the two weeks in May during which AP exams occur, those who put fourth an effort and succeed in an AP class are usually well-prepared and receive a high score. When they enter college and the bene¬ fits come, their hard work finally seems to have been worthwhile.

Department, have begun a new gym class called Physical Manage¬ ment. In order to have success in this special program, students must change their lifestyles through learning proper exercise and eating habits so that when they lose weight, they can keep it off forever. To do this, they must first have the motivation to want to change them¬ selves. The Physical Management program began in a school system in Wyoming and soon spread to every high school in that state. The high schools then began teacher workshops to introduce the pro¬ gram to the country. Debbie Rummel, a teacher at Antioch High School, who attended the workshop at Montana State University, introduced the Phys¬ ical Management program to Illinois, and after attending Rummel’s work¬ shop, Sloan brought the program to Niles West. Eighteen students have enrolled in Physical Management either because this class replaces adaptive gym or be¬ cause they feel that they need to lose some weight. Alison Presley explains, “I thought the class would be good for me because I need to learn how to lose weight by eating and exercising correct¬ ly-” Sloan explains, “If a person really faces the facts of being overweight, has tried unsuccessfully to lose weight be¬ fore, and is willing to put some effort into an eating and exercise plan, by all means, take Physical Management.” Actually, students do not have to be overweight or on crutches to take this class; they may also take this class to learn about good nutrition and proper exercise techniques.

Anytime students get the munchies, someone nearby will certainly hawk some type of delicacy, from chocolate bars to suck¬ ers. In recent years, several organizations have discovered many new things to sell. One year, silver and red Niles West locker mirrors took the school by storm, appearing on locker doors throughout the school. S.A.D.D. sold “thank you” c ards which allowed students to receive discounts from several local merchants.

As an upperclassmen, besides enjoying the luxury of sitting in a special section of the cafeteria or throwing pennies at the helpless little freshmen, they also appreciate cer¬ tain other pleasures. After reading the variety of an¬ swers that juniors and seniors gave when asked about the best part of being an upperclassmen, underclassmen should realize that they don’t have to study to impress their friends; rather, they have to study so they can make it to their junior and senior year, and take advan¬ tage of the following privileges. “Walking down the halls and knowing I’m better than half of the school” Stacey Alper ’90 “Being looked up to” Nasser Amer ’90 “Finding no cure for my senioritis” Danielle Chams ’89 “Kicking underclassmen out of our parties” Melinda Hepner ’89 “Parking in the school lot legally” Lule Jusufi ’90 “Being in total command of the school” Matt Karlesky ’89 “Having better seats in the cafeteria” Danny Klapman ’90 “Driving to school” Tami Kramer ’89 “Budging in the lunch line” Kristi Lall ’89 “Sitting in the lower section of the bleachers during an assembly” Kathy Lukens ’90 “Missing classes for college visits” Karen Noesen ’90 “Getting into any party I want” Kim Pecs ’90 Megan Goldish 1 Joan Sebastian Dina Seung Samina Shamim V Shazia Siddiqui Anna Silvio Harjit Singh Sophomore Lana Urso and “Goolish Gus” relive memories of the 60’s.

Junior David Haddon spots senior Andy Lundsberg at an after school work-out session. Grinding, grueling workouts fill countless hours in sweat-filled rooms, all in the pursuit of muscles. Every year both male and female students experi¬ ment with weight lifting in an attempt to develop “rock hard pecs” for various reasons. As senior Richard Dubin ex¬ plained, “I lessen the chance of receiv¬ ing injuries while participating in ath¬ letics.” Beginning go-getters, perform the lonely task in a basement with free weights and a cold bench. To find the equipment they lack at home, some in¬ dependent lifters take their quest to health clubs which offer the advantage of working out with others to relieve some of the boredom. Whether as a necessity for self im¬ provement or to attract attention, lifters relentlessly pursue their goals. The “weight room addict” enjoys pumping iron to increase his weight. The health conscious weight lifter thinks only of becoming physically fit. “Mr. Macho” looks for new bulk to bring in “oohs and aahs,” living on compliments on how good he looks, while never passing up an opportunity to flex or wear a tank top. Although the number of students committed to weight lifting dwindles with time, those who stuck with it reap the rewards and can say, T.G.I.F. (Thank God I’m Fit.)” Only a special individual keeps pumping in the pur¬ suit of muscles.

As any sophomore can tell you, the best way to insult him is to call him a fresh¬ man. After a whole year of being picked on they look forward to their new sophomore status. Sophomores return to school in the fall with a feeling of superiority. Their freshman days now behind them, they feel entitled to some respect. However, the blow comes the first week of school when someone calls them a freshman, and they feel like a little “fre- shie” all over again. This does not ruin their year, of course, for they are too busy with the Mixer, dances and other parties to let this little comment destroy their egos. Still, being called a freshman is an annoyance most sophomores would like to do without. So woe to the upperclassman that calls a sophomore a freshman.

The sight projects a scene of confusion- friends finding friends, fire vehicles entering the lot, teachers trying to gain control until finally the bell rings, causing the unruly body of students and teachers to re-enter the build¬ ing. This event witnessed by one and all, results from the fire alarm signaling all occupants to exit the building. Astonishment, fright and panic would affect most students and faculty if a fire actually struck. Therefore the fire drills and instructions posted in each classroom offer a sense of security as well as a chance for all to prepare for the possibil¬ ity. Though a benefit for some students (a chance to miss class) and a nuisance for some teachers, fire drills are a necessary precaution. According to senior April Grandinetti, “They’re necessary ... We have to be prepared for emergen¬ cies. Parveen Najiullah Sophomores 75 Attaining aid from Ms. Bentsen, an underclassmen prepares for the upcom¬ ing exam.

The brain plays with it a bit, test¬ ing elasticity, then waits until the per¬ fect time has come to test it. When a situation arises in which one’s ability to deceive may be flaunted, the entice¬ ment overcomes all veracity, and the result explodes in a big, FAT lie, which often grows into a catastrophic myth. Who better at lying than West-goers? I he “implications of” a lie failing hard¬ ly stand up to the “prospects of” a lie succeeding; who would pass up a chance to skip homework for an evening of NBC sit-com reruns, with the only re¬ striction being to come up with a solid fib by the next morning? If the “Cosby Show” is on, the fib may be borrowed from the Huxtable children, the typical teenagers, provided that one’s teachers don’t enjoy these programs, too. With the first excuse, teachers are bound out of their compassionate hearts to pass it off as a blunder, a mere case of amnesia, or even procrastina¬ tion. The student is astounded by his ability to evoke pity in his teacher, yet vows never to repeat the deception. The person deceived is the student, because he allowed moral weakness to overcome moral strength, unleashing a monster of temptation. Soon after, the FAT lie grows into a William Perry-sized lie, and, with all that stuffing, it becomes impossible to distinguish between “truth and turkey.” Not only will the liar’s walk become more like a boat ride in stormy weather, but he’ll find trip¬ ping over his nose unavoidable. Since lying puts too much pressure on the heart, it seems foolish to risk failure of the cardiovascular system, just to watch “ALF” instead of doing geometry proofs. Commercials don’t of¬ fer enough time to get work done, and since skipping a few episodes won’t af¬ fect semester grades or transcripts, ge¬ ometry becomes a wiser choice, if not for entertainment, at least for occasion¬ al intellectual stimulation. Besides, footprints on one’s nose really aren’t very attractive. Nikoletta Antonakos Sophomores 77 It’s A Fib. It ' s A Little White Lie. No, It’s A FAT Lie!

Sophomores Elliott Malkin and Art Hortua occupy themselves un¬ til the mod bell rings for homeroom. You only go to homeroom once a day, so why situate lockers near home¬ rooms, reasoned Chief of Security James Putt. This rationale led to changes in t he assignment of locker lo¬ cations. To many students, the new system, consisting of seniors on the flrst floor, juniors on the second floor, and sopho¬ mores and freshmen on the third floor caused both concern and controversy. Senior Lynn Pappas commented. Moat of my classes are on the first floor so 1 don ' t have to travel as fan it shows seniors are dominating. Howev¬ er, Sophomore Colin Rothman re¬ marked, My homeroom is on the sec¬ ond floor, and my locker is on the third floor, so it makes it kind of hard to carry my books around all morning. Providing students with the opportu¬ nity to socialize with those of the same grade level and allowing extra room for more books motivated the change. The drop in student enrollment also gave students the opportunity to have their own lockers. The old system of locker assignment by homeroom seems better to some and worse to others, but when any method changes, some students usually disagree with the new way.

The Josten’s jewelry man presents his product to inter¬ ested and confused sopho¬ mores. Choosing just the right style, size, and inscrip¬ tions proves to be difficult decisions. However, the wide range of ideas in brochures given to the students make the choice a lot easier. Stu¬ dents may select decorations such as horoscopes, sports, and clubs for their rings. In addition, names can be in¬ scribed on the outside or in¬ side of their rings. Class rings may cost a lot but they pro¬ vide a great way of remem¬ bering the school. Perhaps in thirty years, while looking at a school ring, students will recall their fantastic high school years once again.

Throughout the year they sponsored many activities including the frosh-soph mixer, nominations for Homecoming King and Queen, and sock-hop with a cop. At the beginning of each month these sophomores re¬ ceive a calendar so they re¬ main informed. “Because all members have given up a great deal of time, we’ve been very suc¬ cessful,” stated president El¬ liott Malkin. Everybody wanted active membership, and their sponsor Mr. Puff had provided necessary en¬ couragement, by sacrificing precious time to help get things together. Hard working sophomores enjoyed their fun filled pur¬ suit, and received the grati¬ fying recognition they de¬ served, by the commenda¬ tory remarks of other stu¬ dents and teachers. Al¬ though cabinet members came across a few problems, like thinking of ideas for dances, they always found a way to solve them.

In turn, they can get a driver’s license, which seems to be the key to a whole new life for former freshmen. Sophomores cherish their driver’s license because so many benefits accompany them. Generally, driving means freedom from both students and parents. Happy parents no longer have to act as taxi driver’s, and happy students rejoice that parents no longer know every single detail of a night’s plans. Driving means the ability to run to the store alone when an incredible munchies at¬ tack hits. Most importantly, driving introduces students to a new social life, and the whole world seems much more accessible with many interesting, yet far away places now within reach. The embarrassment of always getting dropped off every¬ where just disappears. Driv¬ ing proves that the student has definitely left freshman year behind, and has become just plain “cool”. In some ways more impor¬ tant than a charge card, the plastic driver’s license offers chances for many new exper¬ iences, all possible because of Driver’s Education which most students consider the most desirable course in sophomore year.

Many students pur¬ sue hobbies during their lei¬ sure time. Sophomore Melba Cas¬ tillo makes an urgent phone call home as her fellow class¬ mate patiently waits for her. Phones in the school are not only used for emergencies, but also for a leisure conver¬ sion with friends. When all else fails, freshman Ramy Antar decides he’d rather do his work on the floor then in the crowded lobby or cafeteria. It must be the abundance of space that in¬ spired him to choose this spot. Recovering from the shock, freshman Spanish student Andrew Kundev tries desperately to remem¬ ber the definition of a word on his quiz. Though students study hard, the excitement of an exam causes them to do poorly.

Being the youngest classmen, freshmen get picked on a lot. Perseverance will pay off, though, and by the time they are seniors, the woes of freshman year will have been forgotten. Freshmen Social Circle Although years have passed since seniors arrived as fresh¬ men, they still have memories of meeting interesting people in those first few days. Students quickly discover the great places high school has to offer where they can meet a variety of new friends. Freshmen can get to know people just like themselves at clubs, dances and after-school sports. As years, pass, students Find additional activities that tempt them to join. In September, students make friends with people from various schools. Soon they walk down the long hallways of West with friends, hand-in-hand, in groups or alone. When hallways close from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., friends may gather in the cafeteria or the Oakton Lobby to gossip about things that happened that day or during the day. After-school, students meet at games or crowd into the cafeteria to talk about people they met that day. Some stay after school until the least possible moment to just find out about the latest gossip. Both upperclassmen and underclassmen agree that high school provides both places and opportunities to meet those new and interesting people who just may become their best friends.

I can clearly remember last year when my friends and I strolled down the hallways. All of the sixth and seventh graders would part from the middle of the hall and, with a dreamy gaze in their young eyes, wish that they could be eighth graders. I remember the good times we had when we picked on the seventh graders, chasing them down the halls. One time, a couple of the smarter seventh graders, ran into one of the ladies’ washroom; that gave us a lot a laughs for days to come. But now the tables are turned. All the seniors and juniors want to tease and pick on us, even tossing pennies at us. Yesterday as my friends and I quietly walked down the hall, a couple of juniors started poking fun at us, calling us “fre- shies,” “little freshies!” This affected us in such a degrading manner that now I realize all the pain we had inflected on the poor little seventh graders. I hope this silly, ridiculous nonsense stops soon and that I grow up quickly so I can be a senior. Then I will fulfill my desire to make fun of the new freshmen. There is no substitute for concentration, and freshman Stanley Matz blocks out all the noise around him to study for his exam. Though some¬ times a bore, study halls allow students a quiet area for doing work.

If the teacher notices, he does not comment. Joe gets away with cheating and may continue to cheat throughout his life. Situations like the one described have become a thing of the past, be¬ cause a joint committee, composed of students, parents, teachers, and admin¬ istrators from both North and West have established a new Academic Hon¬ esty Policy. Explaining in much greater detail than the previous policy exactly what does and does not constitute cheating, the policy lists seven exam¬ ples of the ways to plagiarize, along with fourteen other violations. Academic Honesty Committee mem¬ bers from West that worked on the poli¬ cy include graduate Meena Ravella, senior Leanne Statland, science teacher Dottie Fuigel, Spanish teacher Ed Mur¬ phy, parents Judy Elmer and Joan Gut- terman, principal Donald Ring, and the committee chairman, John Lorez, di¬ rector of administration at North. Classroom policies have already changed, as many teachers have rewrit¬ ten tests to ensure that students can not obtain tests from older friends. Addi¬ tionally, the committee has created a special form for reporting infractions of the policy. Optimism shows in the attitude of all involved. “It gives students who want to be honest a peg to hang that desire on and something to point to. I feel it will be very effective,’’ notes Gutterman. A new era of honesty draws near. The strict enforcement of this policy should guarantee that students will be forced to study harder instead of taking an easy ride. Learning, after all, exempli¬ fies the purpose of the school system.

While new to the system, they still maintain a full academic pro¬ gram of five classes. Although most of the teachers do not have homerooms, they sponsor many extracurricular ac¬ tivities. The Foreign Language Department added three Spanish teachers to their staff. Mr. Johnson, one of the new Spanish teachers co-sponsors the Span¬ ish Club. He received his B.A. in Span¬ ish Education from North Park College in Chicago, and studied also in Sevilla, Spain. “I am privileged to have some very impressive, responsible, and moti¬ vated kids as students in my classes,” he said, and added that he was looking forward to a good year. Another new Spanish teacher, Mr. Fontana graduat¬ ed from Washington University, and now he co-sponsors the Spanish Club, AFS, and Americans Abroad. In his opinion, the school faculty, and stu¬ dents all receive high marks. The third Spanish teacher, Mr. Beaver, who ob¬ tained his Bachelors Degree from Wayne State University of Detroit and his Masters Degree from the University of Illinois, enjoys working at Niles West and co-sponsoring the Spanish Club. NiWeHi also hired three science teachers. Mr. Steve Feorch, whose five years experience at Rich South Town¬ ship High School prepared him for his new position at West, graduated from the University of Kansas. He comment¬ ed, “I like the students I have. They are the best.” In addition to teaching, he coaches the boys’ gymnastic team. Mr. David Genis, a science teacher and freshmen basketball coach, received his degree from the University of Massa¬ chusetts. Having previously taught at Kankakee Junior High School, Mr. Genis found delight in the friendliness of everyone he encountered at West. One of the new female teachers, Ms. Long also teaches science. She received degrees from Duke and Northwestern Universities, and is currently enrolled in courses toward receiving a Master of Science Degree in Education. Mr. John Sullivan, a social studies teacher who previously worked at both Glenbrook North and South, got his Master of Science Degree at the Univer¬ sity of Illinois at Chicago, having al¬ ready received his Bachelors Degree at the Urbana campus. Ms. Marie Helge- son, a Special Education teacher, is an alumnus of Niles West and the Univer¬ sity of Wisconsin, and pursued her Masters Degree at Northeastern. She coaches the girls’ gymnastics team and hopes to start a bicycling club. In busi¬ ness education, Mr. Gary Hutchinson, who taught at Maine West, received his Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Il¬ linois State and Northern Illinois Uni¬ versities, respectively. All these teachers enjoy working at West and describe their students as very enthusiastic and cooperative., With their degrees and experience, they surely will enrich our academic staff.

Freshman Houtan Chaboki searches for a novel to read during his free time. The amount of books they find in the library surprise many freshmen when the see it for the first time. To Study Or Not To Study? What does a bored student do while sitting in study hall? Many students study, the obvious choice, to minimize their homework load. Others use the time to catch up on sleep lost from staying up too late to study the night before. If a student decides he wants to leave the study hall room, he finds many options from which to choose. The spacious, air-conditioned library supplied with books, magazines, and newspapers, provides a great place for students to get away from the crowded, hot study hall. In resource centers, stu¬ dents can get help from teachers or make up tests they have missed. The cafeteria provides a great escape for the rebel¬ lious students. After signing out to the washroom or locker, the student sneaks out to the cafeteria, says hi to a friend or two, and then slyly returns to his study hall within the five minute time limit. Of course, the few students who enjoy detention don’t bother to go to study hall at all, preferring to sit in the cafeteria or even go out for lunch. They may enjoy them¬ selves at that moment, but sitting in the hour long detention later, they probably regret their choice. With all these alternatives, students may use study hall time to catch up on work or just use it to have fun for the day.

The freshmen looked forward to a new beginning in a different school and an opportunity to meet new people. The sophomores were relieved to know that the term “Frosh” no longer ap¬ plied to them. The juniors finally re¬ ceived the title upperclassmen, while the seniors reflected on thoughts of Marya Schramm Anne Seymour Sargon Shamoun Dori Shapiro Melissa Shapiro Steven Shefsky Andrew Shimanski Polina Shklyanoy Ilyce Shugall Matthew Silverberg Natalie Silverman Edward Smith Mikel Smith Julian Solomensky Laura Sosnowski Tom Sotirakos Carrie Spear Nick Spiratos Jennifer Spreitzer Heidi Stadler It’s tough, but writing essays in class makes Melissa Jacob’s mind more imaginative. Freshman year is a time for getting set in new thoughts, writing habits, and com¬ fortable writing positions! First Day Blues their final year at Niles West. On August 22 and 23 a special orien¬ tation provided freshmen with a first¬ hand look at the school and its curricu¬ lum. The rest of the school realized that the school year was to begin when they received their new schedules and no¬ tices to pick up their books. When students arrived at school on the first day, the talk was of tans, sum¬ mer vacations and parties. Some stu¬ dents had difficulty finding their classes. Some freshmen even missed the first 10 minutes of homeroom while purchasing their very own elevator pass. By the end of the first day stu¬ dents knew that the school year had really begun when their teachers ended their classes by saying, “The homework for tonight ...” You know the rest.

Educational Encouragement They left the room stunned by the unbelievable discussion on “Bio Medical Ethics” they had just heard at Seminars for Scholars, a program which presents dis¬ cussions on this and other complex and sensitive issues. Once a month, chosen sen¬ iors break away from their hectic schedule to partici¬ pate in group lectures on to¬ pics such as the Politics of Television, the American Pe¬ nal System, and the Future of Nuclear Energy. The Seminars for Scholars program encourages students to take action on challenging issues. Participants confront speakers, who are leaders in their fields, and also debate with fellow seniors. The ex¬ citing presentations, directed by Gerald Boevers and Tom McMahon, evoke many questions and heighten con¬ cern about the issues pre¬ sented. By participating in Seminars for Scholars, stu¬ dents receive a deeper under¬ standing of the issues de¬ bated. Senior Mikhail Lyu- bansky commented,” The Seminars for Scholars pro¬ gram gives us a chance to learn about real-life prob¬ lems in today’s world, prob¬ lems that are not discussed in a regular classroom.” Julie Kohl Staff 101 Stanley Carey, CVF Clare A.

Decisions , Decisions- Counselors To The Rescue Because of the great variety of classes to choose from, students often find making their course selections difficult. Every spring, students meet with their counselors, who play an impor¬ tant part in helping students choose these classes. This process takes a lot of careful thought on behalf of both the student and the counselor in order to build schedules that meet both gradu¬ ation requirements and prerequisites for college. “Our counselors make sure that we are taking the necessary re¬ quirements for that year, but it is really up to us to plan what we will be taking in the future,” explains junior Laura Bourikas. Freshmen may have a hard time electing courses for their first year be¬ cause of unfamiliarity with the system and the many requirements. Sopho¬ mores and juniors find less complica¬ tion in making out their schedules be¬ cause they know what to expect and can construct their schedules around re¬ quired courses, such as U.S. History, Health, and Consumer Education. Although students find the selection of courses a long and tedious process, they soon discover that counselors act as friends in helping them make the right choices! Karen Popke Making sure that homework is done, students find time to share ideas before class. As juniors, students find the pressures overwhelming. The demands of teachers cause students to dedicate more time and effort to their studies. Once again, the Oakton Lobby proves to be a perfect spot. Staff 103 Excuses , Excuses Along with the title of being upperclassmen comes the joy of FINALLY driving. Junior Charlotte Buehling borrows a pencil from her instructor to complete her Driver’s Ed final. Whimpering, whinning, and plead¬ ing, student excuses become more of a plea for forgiveness than an actual ad¬ mission of forgetfulness. Every year, students come up with crazy excuses to give to their teachers, who usually trust the most inexperienced liars of all ... the freshmen. The following students describe their best excuses: “I was lost.” - Steve Michaels “I asked for directions and some senior sent me in the wrong direction.” - Miguel Ra¬ mirez “I couldn’t open my locker be¬ cause I forgot my combina¬ tion.” - Ryan Mollet “My mom ran out of diapers and used my homework as a substitute.” - Erik Bauer On the receiving end, teachers have heard many bizarre excuses: “My fat her is an air traffic con¬ troller and he mistakenly sent the planes in the wrong direction. In the process, the plane crashed into our home and seven other houses, killing three families.” - Chris Fontana, Spanish. “I have my homework on my computer disk but the disk won’t work in the computers here.” - Larry Broy, Physics. “My cat threw up on it.” - Geri Nash, English. As the freshmen become sophomores, their devious plots fail because they re¬ alize that teachers put more emphasis on honesty than creativity. Cari Miller Recalling previous lectures, Ron Campbell’s student shows her knowledge of first aid. Through this course, students become more secure about helping others in danger. Students gather for extra help at an early meeting held before school, teachers are often willing to come in half an hour earlier to provide assis¬ tance to students. 104 Staff Dottie Fugiel, Science William F.

The procedure may prove to be useful to many in the future. Healthy, Wealthy And Wise By taking the required, one semester health class, students learn the funda¬ mentals of physical and mental health in a meaning¬ ful way. Besides the usual textbook readings, students study about health through filmstrips, lectures, and han¬ douts. When studying both phys¬ ical and mental diseases, stu¬ dents learn the causes and symptoms of diseases as well as their cures and how to avoid diseases. While learn¬ ing about nutrition, students find out how to exercise properly and maintain a healthy diet. Knowledge of body parts, systems, and functions also helps students become better acquainted with the working of their bo¬ dies. When it comes to men¬ tal health, students learn ways to cope with stress by discovering solutions to their problems. Besides learning the basic facts about health, students receive lessons on how to give CPR and how to stop people from choking. The class also stresses the impor¬ tance of the hazards of smok¬ ing, drinking, and taking drugs. Through all these activi¬ ties, health class emphasizes the importance of life and how to live it well, both physically and mentally. Michelle Bauer Karen Popke Charles P.

Nash, English The Big Rush After weeks of putting off homework assignments and not studying for tests, stu¬ dents, once again, face the big rush at the end of the marking period. In the 6th week, students find them¬ selves under more pressure than at any other time in the grading period. Not only do students have to get caught up, but they also must han¬ dle the extra work that teachers try to fit in. Soon, time usually wasted talking with friends in the cafeteria turns into time spent more wisely in the li¬ brary. Students also talk less on the phone and watch less television during that last week because of the in¬ creased study time needed to achieve good grades. Wise students can avoid all the unnecessary hassle and pressure by preparing themselves earlier. Remem¬ bering that marking periods consist of six weeks rather than one week should help students to avoid the sixth week rush. Many students go through the big rush not re¬ alizing that the same grade could be achieved in an ea¬ sier, less stressful way — by studying from week one!

In an attempt to explain a new concept of math¬ ematics to students, Dr. Korte sets up an example on the board. Class lectures usually prove to be an effective method of learning. The cool, dark room slowly filled with teachers, students, and parents. People arrived through every possible entrance, and soon, the previously emp¬ ty room lacked space. This event might have aroused curiosity in uniformed by¬ standers, but for those in attendance, this was a very important and reward¬ ing night when all their scholastic ac¬ complishments for that entire year would be acknowledged and commend¬ ed — Awards Night! The program began with the Pledge of Allegiance, and then Mr. Geismann, the master of ceremonies, announced the Faculty Retirement Awards, many other faculty awards, and the scholar¬ ship awards for the seniors and juniors. As the night progressed, Edward Hirsh, the distinguished alumnus, talked briefly about his experiences at Niles West before he became a recog¬ nized poet. The sophomores were next to ascend the stage of the auditorium and receive their scholarship awards. Last, but not least, the nervously wait¬ ing freshmen finally made their way forward to their first award ceremony, hoping they would receive more awards in the years to come. The attention of the audience was re¬ captured by a display of colossal slides of students, while Expressions sang, ac¬ companied by members of the orches¬ tra. The same confusion that started the program, ended it as crowds of peo¬ ple, big and small, exited the audito¬ rium and entered the reception in the cafeteria. Now, however, the recently acquired plaques, pins, and ribbons were the cause for the celebration.

Answering a question like this requires critical thinking. Smiles of anticipation appear on the faces of Mr. Albiani’s psychol¬ ogy class. They know the answer to the puzzle, but they doubt any fresh¬ man will. With the problem finally solved, the fresh” person vows his revenge on Mr. Albiani. No doubt he will be avenged by taking the class in the future and watching other fresh¬ men suffer. Getting All Psyched Up Room 219, where Ronald Albiani’s Psychology class met, often struck fear into the hearts of freshmen. To illustrate a point, a Psychol¬ ogy student might locate an unsuspecting freshperson,” as Albiani would refer to the chosen representative of the class of ’91, and request that the victim participate in an experiment. Jordan Dorf, for example, tried to memorize the names of everyone in the class in order to illustrate the learning process. Giving his opinion of this and simi lar demonstrations, senior Frank Brodsky said, They were very entertaining be¬ cause they broke up the mo¬ notony of a normal class pe¬ riod. In doing these experi¬ ments, Albiani made learn¬ ing fun.” Democracy evolved late in the semester when students voted on which chapters they wanted to study, allow¬ ing students to choose ex¬ actly which subjects they would learn during the last six weeks. Decisions varied from class to class based on differing interest in areas of psychology. For example, one class chose to study ado¬ lescence, while another fo¬ cused on personality theo¬ ries. Albiani has described his teaching style as natural, humorous, and full of per¬ sonality, and although Al¬ biani refused to comment on how well he felt his teaching methods worked, senior Bob Levy eager ly volunteered, I related to Albiani. He con¬ vinced me that psychology was something I wanted to learn.” For the past 26 years, Al¬ biani has taught psychology because he believes that this class helps students to an¬ swer the questions they have about themselves and to give better insight into how they and others feel. Sophomore Jean Lee commented, The class stressed many aspects of human behavior. It ex¬ plored our innermost feel¬ ings and motives.” Marcia Tiersky Psychology 113 Instructor Mel Schmidt prepares an example on the board for his students to follow. With help of the new Computer Aided Drafting System, a student works on his drawing for his archi¬ tecture course. Not missing a. detail- this student measures the angles of his drawing with the use of dividers. Technical drawing introduces students to the language of this industry and then leads them on to more challenging projects. Drawing Techniques Keep Students Busy What course enables one to transform an idea into an actual product with the help of a computer system? What course prepares students for a career in the designing world? Technical and Archi- tectual Drawing classes pro¬ vide these and other skills. Technical drawing intro¬ duces students to the lan¬ guage of industry and leads them from the basics of hold¬ ing a pencil to advanced les¬ sons with hands-on experi¬ ence using the new Com¬ puter Aided Drafting (CAD) System. Another course, Ar- chitectual Drawing, pre¬ pares students for a career in building interior and exte¬ rior landscape. During the year-long course, students design and construct paper models of their houses in¬ cluding details of interior space utilization. Architec¬ tural drawing offers a series of detailed drawings that re¬ quire some help from the CAD system. Many students take these practical courses to better understand the industrial world and prepare them¬ selves for college level pro¬ grams in either architecture or engineering.

Driver’s Education of¬ fers students the opportunity to learn the rules of the road through school course work. From the windshield Mr. Earl watches the drivers go in a circle around the range. The range proves effective in learning to escape driving hazards. Future Drivers Face Challenge Of Classroom, Range And Behind The Wheel Screeching tires and honking horns sound off in Driver’s Education, a use¬ ful course which prepares sophomores and juniors to obtain their driver’s li¬ censes. The instruction includes three differ¬ ent areas-classroom, range driving, and behind the wheel. During classroom, the teacher provides filmstrips of driv¬ ing techniques and teaches the causes of accidents, methods of preventing them, and the techniques of good, safe driving. Range instruction allows the student to try to master correct tech¬ niques and helps make the student less afraid of driving. At the beginning of behind the wheel instruction, a student drives on streets with little traffic. Eventually, the student drives to the Elston Driving Test Center and even experiences the expressway. Students whose grades in both class¬ room and behind the wheel instruction average an A or a B, have a chance to take the driving test at school. Once the student has passed the course and ob¬ tained a driver’s license, he can say goodbye to the yellow school bus for¬ ever. 118 Driver’s Education Driver’s Education Driving instructor Mr. Earl carefully observes the activity of his students on the range. Learning proper driving techniques enables the student driver to become more aware of driving hazards. Here, a student is being shown how to properly read the gauges on the dash¬ board. Maneuvering past strategically placed cones is only one step in the driver’s education program. After range lessons the student then undergoes the challenge of driving on the streets of Skokie.

Theater Workshop, a be¬ ginning class of drama and acting, gives students a chance to express them¬ selves in ways not usually seen in every day life. John¬ son teaches basic techniques in the acting process, requir¬ ing students to create many different characters. Fresh¬ man Katherine Ripley states, My favorite part of the class is when we get to pretend we are someone else or someone we want to be.” In addition to the acting pro¬ cess, students also learn how to interpret a script using both voice and movement. I try to teach the students how to make characters out of the words written on paper,” explains Johnson. Other class projects include impro¬ visations and other word games. Summing up the feelings of her fellow classmates, Amy Ryan commented, I enjoy the amount of theatri¬ cal participation in the class because I want to be an ac¬ tress one day myself ’ Hilary Kaden Class members act as if they are carrying a toy box into the room.

Want to know more about music, photogra¬ phy, and the art from the past? These topics represent just a few of the ones covered in a course called Humanities. Students look forward to the class taught by Tom McMahon. Movies shown do not typify the usual, boring school movies. Whether taped from Cable T.V. or rented, all focus on cultural ideas. The course begins in the 60’s and during the semester works its way up to the 80’s. Beatles music dominates the first week. The second week covers the Vietnam War and its impact at home, a topic often neglected in U.S. History. Several field trips highlight the year. Students may attend the Chicago Sym¬ phony Orchestra, the American Ballet The¬ ater, the Lyric Opera House, and a musical such as Hair”. Most students enjoy the Humanities class. Senior Ryoko Yamaguchi summed up student response when she said, We get a better knowledge of our past . Julie Kohl Nicole Price When is our next field trip? inquires senior Desey Tziortzis to her fellow classmate, Mike Spiropoulos. Many students take humanities be¬ cause it gives them a better knowledge of our country ' s past history. Humanities teacher Tom McMahon listens to the problem his student faces in the completion of a class assignment. The course begins with a study of the 60’s and during the semester works its way up to the 80s. 122 Humanities Humanities students discuss the latest movie they are watching during class. The class, taught by Tom McMahon, focuses on cultural ideas. The variety of field trips and movies shown in class are a highlight to this course. Students listen intently to Tom McMahon as he speaks of an upcoming field trip to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Receiving input from his stud ents, Tom McMa¬ hon responds to the comments made on a recent issue. The class is offered as an elective at Ni- WeHi. w Perfection with each stroke is in the mind of all artists. Here, an art student completes her assignment with that thought in mind. Art students direct their atten tion to Richard Requarth. Demon¬ strations are often necessary to clar ify a point. Knead, roll, cut, shape. It may seem that cookies are about to be baked, while, in fact, art students are shaping clay into ceramic tiles to create a work of art. Beginning with art foundations, students are able to progress from pencil and ink draw¬ ings to metal sculpturing and pot¬ tery. 124 Art Concentrating to achieve perfection, an art student adds the finishing touches to her project. A sense of accomplishment is present after each individual presents their masterpiece to the teacher. Can You Picture That? “Can you picture that?” demands the song from The Muppet Movie. Students in¬ volved in art classes certain¬ ly can, as they participate in activities ranging from sculpting to painting and latchhooking. After taking the prerequi¬ site course, Art Foundations, beginners, specialists, or peo¬ ple just interested in self-ex¬ pression can choose from a variety of classes which help fulfill the practical art re¬ quirement in a fun and edu¬ cational way. All ages, from freshman to senior, can par¬ ticipate in any of the art classes offered. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere gives students a chance to enjoy a class with students they might not otherwise have a chance to mingle with. The art program encour¬ ages students to push a little harder and to look within themselves for hidden talent. Wise students take full ad¬ vantage of such elective pro¬ grams which provide both education and enjoyment. Marcia Tiersky Senior Henry Rodriguez illus¬ trates the technique of latch-hook¬ ing to fellow classmate Jim Ciemny. From painting to pottery, the art classes provide a wide variety of pro¬ jects. Art 125 The Engines Revving Up Turning the screwdriver, Mr. Jurek shows, his class of aspiring mechanics the secrets of working on a car engine. The familiar scene of students observ¬ ing the teacher and the teacher observ¬ ing the students takes place everyday in autos class. An elective course, Autos can be helpful if a student owns a car. The class teaches various parts of the car and the engine and also provides help¬ ful information about needed amounts of fluids such as gasoline, oil and wind¬ shield-washer. Students also learn how to remove parts of the engine and car- borator. Then teachers allow students to practice on their own engines in the Autos Lab. Autos class attracts only a few girls and many guys. On the advice of his counselor, junior Jaye Jao registered after numerous incidents of car trouble. Enrollment figures show that Autos might not be the most popular class, but it provides useful information and hands-on experience for those who plan to be “in the driver’s seat.” Rodney Pintang Working diligently to repair the engine, auto students attempt to accomplish their task. Autos provides students with hands on experience that will be beneficial in their tuture lives. 126 Autos Teamwork is essential in all aspects of life. Students work together to put the finishing touches on their machinery. With intense concentration, autos students combine their efforts to produce an ideal engine. The course provides students with many practical skills. Ill efore getting to w ork, autos students listen intently to instructor Glenn Jurek as he discusses a n £ w technique. With guidance, teamwork and enthusiasm, students accomplish their goals. Selecting from the wide variety of equipment, an auto’s student makes his choice.

A new, experi¬ mental program helps students get more exercise and achieve better endur¬ ance scores. Physical fitness tests such as arm- strength, sit-ups, and the mile run de¬ termine the difficulty level of each class. Students chosen at random par¬ ticipate in groups of low, average, and high ability. Most gym classes do one specific activity an entire six weeks, while this program varies each day so that different muscle groups don’t weaken from lack of use. A typical day for three minutes, thirty seconds of push-ups, twenty “crunchers”, and pickleball, volleyball, basketball, or soccer. Many students feel that the new form of fitness helps to add variety to daily routines. Senior Andree Abelkis re¬ marked, “It’s a really good program be¬ cause you don’t have to do the same thing every day.” Whether the program exists next year depends on additional feedback from students and results of fitness tests. Debbie Brodsky P.E. teachers Larsen and Sloan take a min¬ ute to discuss the day’s activities. The experimen¬ tal, co-educational gym program consists of ju¬ niors and seniors.

Mike Tipescu partakes in eating these tasty morsels finding it to soothe the little queasiness some¬ times associated with giving blood. I Giving blood is not the ordeal many believe it to be, as Tony Car- olio demonstrates. Besides, the benefits of this life nourishing liquid greatly outweigh any initial discom¬ fort there may be. I L J All aspects of a participants health are considered in the blood donating process. One precaution is to take the volunteer’s blood pressure to insure that they are healthy before they aid in the health of others. To make the annual Blood Drive a success it is crucial that M both student and faculty get in¬ volved. Principle Dr. Ring responds to the call of duty and happily vol¬ unteers to donate some blood. Clvir II Cift — Ilie li« u i s Cift Cf life Students gaze in awe as medical equipment fills the Oakton Lobby. Although some students ponder the presence of such apparatus, NHS members provide a clear answer. The annual blood drive, sponsored by the National Honor Society, supplies blood to various hospitals through Life- Source which stores the blood and distributes it as needed. A student must be at least seventeen years of age, weigh 110 pounds or more, and be in good health to donate blood. A signed parental per¬ mission form must be sub¬ mitted, as well. To encourage students and faculty mem¬ bers to give blood, NHS members visit homerooms, post signs, and make an¬ nouncements during home¬ room. Vincent Fang and Frank Brodsky took turns dressing up as Buford the Bloodhound and roaming the cafeteria during lunch modes to recruit potential donors. NHS members set up tables with cookies and juice to make donating more pleasant. After NHS mem¬ bers put so much effort into promoting the event, they had a nice surprise. Many students and faculty decided to donate at the last minute, so a total of ninety pints was collected. Although donating blood hurts a little, there is a good feeling in knowing that it will help others. As NHS member Gail Gutterman said, “Giving blood helps hu¬ manity, and is therefore, worthwhile.” Ansa Qureshi Blood Drive 137 138 Spoon River Anthology Junior Jenny Collins portrays one of her many characters in the spring play Spoon River Anthology. Each cast member took on several roles in order to project the com¬ plete list of characters. 139 Thespians Ann Fisher and Kevin Steele sing their praises for Larry Mills, while Arthur Tiersky plays his guitar. Spoon River Anthology relied heavily on music as an integral part of the production.

The characters took on various roles in order to enact the production. For one weekend, the dead returned to life to tell their stories to interested viewers of the spring production, “Spoon River Anthology,” a cluster of epitaphs based on the actual lives of people that had lived in Petersburg, Illinois. Directed by English teach¬ er James Batts, the cast of twelve handled over 50 parts, with each cast member tak¬ ing five or six different roles. The actors included Katy Born, Ann Fisher, Amy Flack, Paul Katz, Larry Mills, Arthur Tiersky, David Lieb, Kevin Steele, Karen Guthrie, Kristin Hurt and Yuri Rutman. In addition John Barba, Wendy Doyle, Paul Katz, and Pascale Trouillot handled singing parts for all three evening performances. Lack of a definite plot made this show a challenge to perform. Actors changed character with as little as two or three minutes to establish themselves in the new role. Director Batts expressed great pleasure in the cast’s hard work, saying, “The characterization went much deeper than I expected.” Both cast and crew delighted in the final product of their hard work and anticipate an equally successful show next year. Marcia Tiersky Guitarist Arthur Tiersky plays background music as John Barba sings. Accompanying Barba are seniors Pascale Troulliot and Wendy Doyle. Junior Karen Guthrie absorbs herself in her role. Guthrie was one of twelve students that performed in Spoon River Anthology. At International Night, Korean club members perform a ceremonial dance to distinguish their culture. In addition to entertainment, students sampled a variety of foreign foods, courtesy of the various clubs in atten¬ dance. It’s 4 4i ill World Crossing the border into the lavishly decorated stu¬ dent cafeteria, students, fac¬ ulty and friends enjoyed an evening filled with music, dancing and cuisine from countries spanning the globe. Entertainment provided by the Filipino, Korean, Hel¬ lenic, Chinese, Spanish, French, AFS and Israel clubs, kept feet tapping and eyes full of excitement. The International Rela¬ tions Council, along with sponsors Ed Murphy and Elizabeth Perez, deserve full credit for this well-planned, successful event. “It felt so great when we needed to set up more tables because of our great turnout. We all worked long and hard for this night and we did more than a great job,” state Fili¬ pino club representative Ares Ebreo. Overall, “It’s a Small World” turned out to be a big event. The Filipinos ‘stick dance’, the Chinese Club’s karate show, the Hellenic Club’s ethnic dances, and the Spanish Club’s unforgetta¬ ble, unbreakable piriata made International Night a great success! Patty Tzortzis Amazed spectators look on as a Chinese club member displays his mastery of the oriental art of karate. It is not suggested for this to be attempted at home. Nations unite as Filipino club member Ares Ebreo and Hellenic club member Patti Tzortzis show off their fancy foot work. International Night gives, students the opportunity to display the pride they have in their heritage. 140 International Night 141 International Night The crowd enthusiastically watches as the Hellenic club performs the traditional dance of the Greek culture. As in years past, this was a highlight of the festive evening. International beauty is not for¬ eign to NiWeHi, but it seldom comes to form with such magnificence as these Korean club members display, rippling a flower of color in the cafe¬ teria. The Korean club’s perfor¬ mance was one of a variety of for¬ eign cultures, making the night com¬ plete. An overview of the refreshment table at Prom shows the large turnout of students. The Knickerbocker ballroom provided an elegant atmosphere for the dance. ■ Smiles of delight appear on the faces of Andy Costello and Hilary Kaden as they look at the elegant bid they received. Enthusiasm fills the faces of many prom-goers as they anticipate the dance and the exciting plans made afterwards. 142 Prom A picture is the perfect token of remembrance for this special occasion. The dance floor was filled with couples enjoying themselves at Prom. Showing that chivalry is not dead, Carolyn Song feeds her date at the dance. The Knickerbocker Hotel provided delicious hors-d’ouevres for the occasion. “And the Prom King and Queen are .. The crowd anxiously lis¬ tens to class vice-president Mindy Grossberg and president Megan Goldish for the results. Dr. and Mrs. Ring were crowned honorary King and Queen and the crowd roared its approval. “May I have this dance?” Byong Kim asks his date Halina Orawiec. After a bit of dancing and socializ¬ ing, many couples spend a dazzling night on the town having a pleasant dinner, and perhaps taking a car¬ riage or boat ride. Gazing into each other’s eyes, Anthony Irpino and Lisa Schapira ro¬ mance the night away at Prom. The ballroom atmosphere made for a night of both fun and enchantment.

The lake moved slowly to the rhythm of the evening, ebbing and swishing the tide toward the shore. Lake Shore Drive glowed from the light of the street lamps, meeting the Magnificent Mile at the formidable Drake Hotel. At another downtown hotel, hundreds of teenagers gathered to enjoy a special evening ... The Knickerbocker Hotel set the scene for the Class of 1988’s Prom, the “Bon Voy¬ age” party thrown by the junior class. The room ws ar¬ ranged in a spectacular as¬ sortment of round tables, bright decorations, and a col¬ or-lit, glass dance floor. Hors d’ouvres covered buffet ta¬ bles, the band warmed-up, and everything stood ready for the guests to arrive and liven the atmosphere. When they did arrive, the room shook with excitement. Sen¬ ior Heather McCulloh com¬ mented, “Being able to see everyone dressed-up and the atmosphere and the music made it very special, and it was a nice chance to say good-bye to the graduates.” On the dance floor, stu¬ dents enjoyed swinging and bopping to oldies and the la¬ test hits and slowly swaying to romantic melodies with their dates. Prom King and Queen were not something the Class of ’88 was con¬ cerned with. They all simply enjoyed the evening, but for the sake of tradition, the most impressive couple, Dr. Ring and his wife, were se¬ cretly crowned Honorary Prom King and Queen by Mindy Grossberg and Megan Goldish. Dr. Ring comment¬ ed on the honor, saying it was a pleasant surprise. When the evening slowly gave way to the morning hours, Prom ’88 passed and became another wonderful memory of the students at NiWeHi. Many of the stu¬ dents took advantage of the evening to do special things with friends and dates, such as taking carriage rides or walks on the beach, extend¬ ing Prom Night to a week¬ end. No moment was left un¬ cherished . . . Nikoletta Antonakos Prom 143 The red and white trio of Joy Grossberg, John Barba, and Mi¬ chelle Dayan, sing “Just For a Mo¬ ment” at the graduation ceremony. Singing was just one of the number of performances given to bid the seniors farewell. On behalf of the graduating class, valedictorian Fernando Fenn talks of past accomplishments and future goals in his inspirational speech. It is a time to remember the happy memories of high school, and a time to look happily upon the future with anticipation. Cap And Ccwr lime All good things must come to an end, and with this in mind the class of ’88 said a long awaited good-bye to their four years at NiWeHi and a bright hello to their futures. On a balmy, Sunday afternoon in a bleacher-filled Mike Basrak Stadium, par¬ ents and friends looked on at the sea of smiling faces dressed in red and white. Seniors sat in anticipation of receiving their diplomas and breaking their ties to Niles West forever. Many look for¬ ward to vacations, college, or whatever they choose to pur¬ sue. They listened intently as speakers such as valedic¬ torian Fernando Fenn gave words of encouragement and inspiration to his classmates. It is at this time, sadly, that friends must say good¬ bye to their fellow peers and friends knowing they will soon embark on their sepa¬ rate paths. Others breathe a sigh of relief that this very day they have anticipated the entire year finally ar¬ rives. The crowd was enter¬ tained by the sweet words of “Just for a Moment”, sung by Joy Grossberg, John Barba, and Michelle Dayan. The lyrics seemed so perfect¬ ly appropriate for this mo¬ mentous occasion. Ali Kwon In the proudest moment of her life, graduate Bernadeth Dangulian smiles and accepts her diploma from Dr. Stein. Graduation Day is the pinnacle of a student’s high school years. The joy of sharing special moments with friends, reflected in the embrace of these graduates, filled the spirits of all the graduates, as they realized their moments together were running out. The graduates were presented with their diplomas, then threw their caps high in the air, celebrating their freedom from high school. 144 Graduation A graduate displays a very fash¬ ionable design on her graduation cap. The inspiration which led to this new fad was provided by the Girls’ Soccer Team. Dr. Ring praises the accomplishments of the graduating class, and with a smile, conveys his hope that their future endeavors will be bright and successful. The beautiful weather reflected his wish, as the graduation cere¬ mony was able to be held on Basrack Field, in the presence of the proud relatives. The stage is set to bid farewell to the graduating class. It is beautifully arrayed with flowered bouquets, border trimmings, and various other decorations to exhibit a momentous occasion. Graduation The Oakton Lobby is transformed into the destination for various schools across the country. Many colleges set up tables to display their pamphlets filled with information regarding their school. 4 4 lii | M 01 I ijj ■ Educalkn As the helicopters land on the front lawn of Niles West, and the bands begin to play, passersby wonder about the cause of all the festivities. Over 300 representatives from other schools come to visit on College Night, giving students time to consider fu¬ ture plans and aspirations, and allowing them a cursory glance at the various schools in attendance. Some stu¬ dents choose to speak with many institutions extracting bits of information from each, while others key in on a few possibilities which might pique their interests. In ei¬ ther case, however, students formulate their own ideas about the right school for their educational needs. By attending College Night, students hope to ex¬ amine the many opportuni¬ ties available and to discover which school best fits their qualifications. Life only be¬ gins after high school, so stu¬ dents must prepare them¬ selves as best they can for what lies ahead. Choosing a college is often the first ma¬ jor decision a student has to make, and College Night helps to alleviate some of the uncertainty and indecision students may face concern¬ ing their futures. Christina Gabriel r Traditionally, College Night is marked by the Marines landing on the front lawn of Niles West. The presence of the military was a unique part of this important night. 146 College Night Prospective applicant to Yale University, senior Matt Reznik smiles upon hearing their requirements. College Night provides opportunities for students to become acquainted with schools of all sorts from coast to coast. Parents and students both, show their interest in a certain school by questioning a visiting college representative. The main purpose of College Night is to gather information and enquire about possible schools. Over 6000 students, parents, and faculty roam through the contest gym at the annual Niles West College Night. The event attracted some 300 schools nation-wide, including the military and vocational schools. Along with the many colleges in attendance, military forces also come to recruit possible potentials.

College Night 147 Un 4r 1 Cad Cc l Scfied The hallways bustled with numerous mortal beings walking in and out of each room, until the bell sounded at 7:00 p.m. sharp. At the tone, the hallways cleared, the classrooms filled and Open House had begun. Parents received last min¬ ute schedule changes and in¬ formation during homeroom and proceeded to the classes their children face during the school day. Getting ac¬ quainted with new teachers, discovering the year’s aca¬ demic profile, and posing questions of their own, par¬ ents learned the ways and means of the school. Fur¬ thermore, they received first hand knowledge of each class’s progress and were in¬ structed in ways their child could benefit from outside help. However, parents were not the only individuals who benefited. Many teachers ex¬ pressed delight when speak¬ ing of the evening’s events. As history teacher Dan Hill explained, “The opportunity to meet parents enables us to gain a better understanding of each student. Concerned parents usually impress the teacher and as a result the teacher takes a greater inter¬ est in that student.” Besides classroom ac¬ quaintances, parents min¬ gled with each other, with administrators, and students who were present to help during the evening. Refresh¬ ments were served, clubs provided information of their events, and the orches¬ tra played for their enter¬ tainment. As parents depart¬ ed, faint smiles appeared on their faces as they thought of the many opportunities Niles West provides. Parveen Najiullah Open House gives parents the op¬ portunity to meet those adults who are a major influence in their chil¬ dren’s lives.

The parent at the far end has obviously not heard of the school’s new academic honesty policy.

Mrs. Horwitz stepped to the microphone to announce the “Court” who surprised and entertained the audi¬ ence. Mr. Fontana dressed up as one of the “Cool guys”- with his sun glasses and leather coat and Miss Perez portrayed the cute cheer¬ leader with a squeaky voice and short skirt, while Mrs. Chausow amazed everyone with her baton twirling skills. Mr. Geis quizzed each couple about their talents, how they met and their fa¬ vorite subjects. Responses such as Mr. Fontana’s “Da Uh Dah” won the crowds ap¬ proval in the form of ap¬ plause and comments. Other teachers who participated in¬ cluded Mr. Ed Murphy, Mrs. Oldham and Mr. Brennan.

Student Union Monopolizes Uomooomin Hook After weeks of preparation and frustration, Student Union unveiled the 1988 Monopoly Homecoming that provided a fun-filled week for all. Each class dressed in dif¬ ferent colors for the pep as¬ sembly that aroused every¬ one’s spirit for the opening of the Homecoming week. On the second day most stu¬ dents dressed as construction workers, on the third day they wore toga’s, and on the fourth day they donned po¬ lice and prisoner garb. For the final day, the students dressed in the traditional RED AND WHITE. Activi¬ ties such as jello suck-up, and graham cracker and peanut butter building kept stu¬ dents busy in the cafeteria throughout the week. To commemorate the event, clubs sold buttons, T-shirts, keychains and bids which al¬ lowed students to take “A Stroll on the Boardwalk”. Members of sport’s teams and clubs decorated vehicles according to the Monopoly property assigned for the NiWeHi Express that trav¬ eled throughout the neigh¬ borhood after early dismissal on Friday. That same night after the Indians attempted to “Roll the Raiders off the Board,” students celebrated Homecoming by dancing the night away at the “Jail House Rock.” On Saturday each couple had the chance to stroll on the Boardwalk and honor the newly elected queen Sen- ada Arabelovic and king Cal¬ vin Ramseyer. Throughout the activity- filled week, students made sure they didn’t “go directly to jail” and lose their chance to collect the fun and excite¬ ment of a Monopoly Home¬ coming.

Howev¬ er, last minute dinner and limousine reservations, along with trips to local floral shops for corsages and bou¬ tonnieres, kept the majority of students busy. On this long-awaited evening, Satur¬ day, October 29, cameras flashed continuously as cou¬ ples prepared to take “A Stroll on the Boardwalk”. An inexhaustible line of cars and limosines packed the lot as the dance began at 8:00 p.m. Inside, couples en¬ joyed the slow, as well as up¬ beat songs of “Betty Betty Betty”. Couples looked on as King Calvin Ramsever and Queen Seneda Arabelovic swayed to the first tune of the evening. Finally, the dance floor was open for all, and couples piled on quickly. At the far end of the room, students paired off with their dates to have their photo¬ graph taken as a memorable reminder of that special evening. Refreshments and various hors d ' oeuvres en¬ tertained others as they snacked and chatted. As the clock struck 11:00 p.m., the sound of rock and roll began to fade away, bringing an unforgettable Homecoming to an end. However, for most couples, the night was not over just yet. Still more celebration was anticipated as plans for dinner, carriage rides, par¬ ties, or a night in downtown Chicago came into action. Whatever the remainder of the evening might have been, this grand event became a highlight of the year. Now, it brings back reminiscences of a wonderful time — as cou¬ ples took “A Stroll on the Boardwalk”. Estelle Xikolakakis Obviously happy to see each other, the two couples meet on the dance floor.

It is the one day of the year when students can design and become a new identity. Costumes of all sorts roam the building, ranging from fiendish mon¬ sters, to angelic cherubs. Such diversity adds to the festive, fun spirit of Hallow¬ een. As freshman Stanley Matz says, “Halloween adds a touch of spark to my day, and breaks the monotony of the regular class schedule.” Thus, Halloween is not Thus, Halloween is not only a time for costumes and role changes, it is also a time for fun and excitement.

Together with the cast they brought the words of the script to life. Jamming to the riveting sound of the Orches¬ tra, t he “Fame” performers act their roles as per¬ forming arts students.

Set at the High School for the Per¬ forming Arts in New York City, where the chances of being accepted into one of the three departments (dance, dra¬ ma, or music) are one in fifty-seven, Fame tells the story of a group of teen¬ agers and the four years of their lives spent at the school, from the auditions, to the first day of school, to graduation. Each u nique character has his own sto¬ ry, and talent. The cast included Coco Hernandez (Katherine Ripley), a girl who insists that she can do it all, and proves she can; Tony Gillotano (Tirso Olivares), a boy of the streets interested in two things, dancing and women; Montgomery McNeill (Carl Helwing). the son of a famous actress, who is faced with a medical problem that he will face for the rest of his life; Doris Schwartz (Maggie Duffy), whose big¬ gest problem is learning to deal with her own normalcy; Bruno Martelli (Pe¬ ter Hepner), a musician too shy to let anyone share his music; and Ralph Garcy (Luis Velez), a comic who want to follow in the footsteps of his idol instead of being himself, no matter what the cost.

In October, a new type of pep assembly was established to root on and inspire a different breed of hard-working students — scholars. The members of the National Honor Society were inducted formally, gowns, candles, and all, in the auditorium in front of the entire student body, the first time such a celebration was held. Some 70 students in their white gowns repeat¬ ed the oath recited by NHS president Suzanne Ahn, pledging to continue to pur¬ sue actively community and extra-curricular activities, while maintaining a high level of academic perfor¬ mance. A second purpose for hold¬ ing an in-school induction ceremony was to inspire ex¬ citement for the ideals of NHS, especially aimed at the freshmen and sophomores who have more time to im¬ prove their grades and par¬ ticipate in activities. Like a hard earned trophy after a successful season, NHS members were given a certi¬ ficate and an NHS pin, to re¬ ward their hard work and perserverance.

The party took place at the Sheridan Day Care Center, a part of the Jane Addams Center in Chicago where most of the kids are poor and Spanish speaking. All of Senior Cabinet and 40 three and four year olds were present. The cabinet bought each child a gift and the party included games and prizes. The kids wore name tags and were also treated with cookies and ap¬ ple juice. Even Santa Claus showed up to join in on the festivities.

Children who attended en¬ joyed the play so much, they wrote letters of thanks to the cast. Cindy Philbin, director of “Androcles and the Lion”, reported proudly that over 3000 kids came to watch these productions. The age of the audience ranges any¬ where from kindergarten to fifth grade, and children from 50-60 different schools in Chicago and its’ suburbs attend. “The plays have im¬ proved dramatically in the past ten years”, exclaimed Philbin, “and I’m confident they will keep getting bet¬ ter.” Even with a small cast, the Children’s Theater has succeeded, and probably will continue to entertain kids of all ages in years to come.

Cari Miller Brian Hansen German Exchange 173 Introducing the speaker, Arnold Agnos speaks highly of Russ Ewing’s accomplishments. Agnos founded the Speaker of the Month pro¬ gram which brings prominent people to the school. I Russ Ewing spoke at an all-school assembly in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. His words of wisdom and life experiences truly touched West students and faculty. I Helping to bring about the assembly, Principal Donald Ring speaks a few words. In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, guest speaker Russ Ewing spoke a few words of encouragement. Hi In ll Is §till U mlii i Or ... The uproar in the auditorium quelled, and as the lights dimmed, a spotlight followed a man of great stat¬ ure as he ascended the steps to the stage. In introducing him, Arnold Ag¬ nos expressed the respect the speaker had earned for his truthful, concise re¬ porting. When the speaker took his place at the podium, the auditorium filled with applause for the ABC news reporter, Russ Ewing. The assembly was a special program designed to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the time of the ob¬ servation of his 60 th birthday. Russ Ewing had not only lived during the moment that began in the early fifties, but he was affected tremendously by it and by the life and pursuits of Dr. King. Though Mr. Ewing did not speak di¬ rectly about King’s life, he described his own life’s experiences. Through such tales, Ewing not only captured the au¬ dience’s attention, but also related ■ i — Martin Luther King’s influences on his life. Russ Ewing worked hard over the years to attain his position, and relied very much upon himself to succeed, us¬ ing his natural ability and desire to help people and report honest news. His val¬ iant efforts to coax would-be suicide victims and the crime suspects to listen to his advice, impressed upon the audi¬ ence his sense of humanity and sympa¬ thy for living things, two trait which reflect Dr. King’s influence on Ewing’s life. The most dominant characteristic Russ Ewing impressed upon the audi¬ ence came in the form of his civility and patience in an appeal to the students. Ewing rightfully boasted that had nev¬ er smoked, drunk alcohol, or experi¬ mented with drugs, and challenged the audience to be patient and seek “natu¬ ral” highs, though he gave an example of a material high which some observers did not agree with. Senior Frank Kim observed, “It was more like a sermon because it fired me up.” Though most people believed Ewing did not ade¬ quately discuss King’s life, they enjoyed the assembly; Jason Burk went so far as to say that he hadn’t seen a better as¬ sembly in his four years at West, espe¬ cially because of the way Ewing was able to handle the tough Niles West crowd. Perhaps that is the greatest influence Dr. King had on Ewing’s life, his mov¬ ing speeches. Ewing’s tales were not of the horrors of a movement, but rather the result of his heeding the conse¬ quences of such horrors and doing ever¬ ything possible to keep himself and others out of those situations. Russ Ew¬ ing is a strong, sensitive human being, one of many affected by the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Nikoletta Antonakos 174 King Assembly When speaking in memory of Martin Luther King, Jr., WLS TV’s Russ Ewing captivates the student body.

Beginning early in the day, partners met in the Home Ec. wing to begin the first step in the lengthy process. Fillings were prepared before students proceeded to the cafeteria, where crusts and decorations were created. Original decorations dis¬ played a variety of personal¬ ities among partners. After baking, the taste test began. Judges endulged in eight slices apiece, evaluating each on taste, texture, and overall appearance. A junior senior team con¬ sisting of Dana Mohrlein and Estelle Nikolakakis won first place in the competition re¬ ceiving a plaque and cook¬ book.

The two bicker throughout the play but enjoy the fun as well. At the top of the heap, junior Tirso Olivares, playing the part of Kinickie, sings along with fellow greasers to the “Grease Lightning” car song. The performance of Grease drew much attention to the Niles West theater department. Playing the part of Teen Angel, senior Bill DeAcetis, surrounded by beauty school drop-out girls, con¬ vinces Frenchy to go back to high school. The Grease production evolves around high school life in the 50’s. Getting ready for the big dance, Kinickie, played by senior Kevin Steele, gets down on his knees and sings to the theme of “Sok Hop Baby!” The Grease production, per¬ formed in early March, let students show off their acting abilities to classmates and parents. Dancing the night away, senior Rachel Posner and junior Tirso Olivares play the parts of Cha-Cha and Kinickie in the “Moonlight in the Tropics” dance. The couple dazzled the audience with sleek moves and the final performance of the tango.

But, it wasn’t just the awesome sce¬ nery that captivated the au¬ dience. The excellent perfor¬ mances of the actors brought them several rounds of ap¬ plause. The show opens with the stars Danny (Tim Queen) and Sandy (Melinda Hepner) reminiscing about their past summer together in the song, “Summer Nights.” As the play contin¬ ues Danny and Sandy’s rela¬ tionship dwindles as he goes to prom with another girl and she sits home singing “It’s Raining on Prom Night.” Gradually the two realize their differences and work to get back together ending the play on the high note of “We go together.” Because of the talent of so many students, director Robert Johnson decided to provide a double cast for many of the characters. One cast performed on Wednes¬ day and Friday, and the oth¬ er on Thursday and Satur¬ day. Johnson stated, “Work¬ ing with a double cast is much more difficult than a single one. It’s twice the work, but it gives more peo¬ ple an opportunity to partici¬ pate. Each performance is different because each per¬ son developed his own char¬ acter for the part.” Grease had one of the big¬ gest advanced sales in the theater history.

In fact, about the only first they didn’t accomplish was finishing first in the Central Suburban League. This year’s squad was the first to compete at the varsity level in five years and they got off to a bang-bang start, beating crosstown rival Niles North 5-2 in their first meet of the season. They maintained a near .500 clip the rest of the way, ending the season at 5-6, fourth in the conference. The team did not have a set starting lineup but sophomore Yvette Gatilao, senior Nancy Penn, junior Mara Okmin, and freshman Terri Richardson usually played singles. Freshman Vicki Karkazis and Gail Chung, juniors Lori Utanoff and Masha Alexander, and junior Daphne Mazarakis and freshman Rosette Cordero usually manned the three dou¬ bles slots. First year head coach Bob Farrington was happy with the girls’ season, com¬ mending their attitude and condition¬ ing, and the players were also pleased with their new coach. I think the fact that he (Farrington) is a professional player really helped the team,” said Alexander. The first season is over but, with the exception of Penn, the entire starting lineup will return next year and their main goal will be to accomplish the one first that eluded this year’s team- a first place finish in the conference.

Such climactic wins spark teams to aggressively com¬ pete and assure a winning season. Unfortunately, the spark did not ignite and explode for the NiWeHi boys tennis team. Though they practiced rigorously, under the eyes of coaches Mitropolis and Gralewski, in individual competition, the boys did not fare well, losing most of their matches. But with the expe¬ rience they gained and the rospect of returning mem- ers, the team is prepared to fight back and assure a win¬ ning season in the future. On the bright side, there was the emergence of the boys doubles team consisting of 1988 graduate Rohit Patel and senior Eric Orsic. With dedication, hard work, poise, and previous experience, the two worked themselves into the sectionals. There the team captured fourth place and received medals for their outstanding accom¬ plishment. Team member Eric Orsic commented on their victory, The section¬ als were the highlight to a season that was overall rather disappointing. Our in¬ dividual efforts paid off, but the team as a whole next season is looking for more.” The season winded down with an overall unimpres¬ sive record, but each individ¬ ual learned from their mis¬ takes and gained experience with each ball they hit.

Determined-they united for one goal. They all had the dream to bring a champion¬ ship to NiWeHi. However, despite rigorous work-outs, they fell far short, ending the season with a record of 1-20. Senior Beatrise Revelins, however, did not look at the season as a total loss. She commented, “We improved a lot and individuals came to¬ gether as the season pro¬ gressed. We have a strong base for the future.” The team kept on battling until the very end under the leadership of Coach Paula Sfickas. Team member Gay- lyn Hortelano accredits Sfickas for her job. “She con¬ stantly kept at it and never gave up.

Boys Volleyball 195 On Your Mark, Get Set M SPLASHM After a summer of hot and humid record breaking tem¬ perature days where most people spent their time at the lake or a pool, some stu¬ dents still could not resist the temptation of plunging into the depths of water upon returning to school in early September. Such was the case with the girls’ swim team who sought to bask in glory as the number one “Splashers” in the area. Despite a decrease in team members, the squad had high hopes, talent and goals to fulfill. Under the leader¬ ship of Coach Jodi Nebbie, the girls set around to ac¬ complish their task. Long hours of practice to perfect the technique of the butter¬ fly, breast stroke, back stroke and freestyle was the first necessary step. After that, team spirit and enthusiasm carried the team. As senior Miki Vucic commented, “Our main goal was to im¬ prove our times. Everyone was enthusiastic and sup¬ portive of reaching this goal.” In competition, the team had a disappointing season with an overall record of 1- 12. However the 200 individ¬ ual medley relay team con¬ sisting of Ayumi Koyama, Miki Vucic. Patty Tzortzis and Ramona Giderof made it to the sectionals where they placed twelfth out of seven¬ teen schools. After a long hard season, many members spoke posi¬ tively of the excitement of competition and team spirit. Senior member, Patty Tzort¬ zis summed up the season by commenting, “The season went well considering the few members. Each individ¬ ual strived for their personal best and cheered and offered encouragement to support fellow members.” With the season complete and fond memories stored away, the thoughts of the coach and re¬ turning members are upon next season.

According to head coach Ron Campbell, “There are several (17) returning Varsity letter winners. The new people are also promis¬ ing.” Varsity co-captains Marty Bach, Paul Schramm, and Hak Kang were all-con¬ ference athletes last season.

Soccer team A Season Of Ups ‘N’ Downs IWI Strength, agility, and stamina name just a few skills the girls’ Varsity Soccer Team acquired under the guidance of Captains Kristi Lall and Dawn Jacobs, and Head Coach Joe Brennan. The girls practiced daily from 3-5, drilling, scrimmaging and jogging, in prepara¬ tion for their weekend bouts. One of the six participating seniors, Lisa Schapira, observed, “It was a season of ups and downs. At the beginning we had quite a winning streak. Later on in the season, we played better teams. We also played better soccer though the score didn ' t always show it. All in all, I think our team worked together well, and I have high hopes for next year’s, team. The defense, feared by opponents throughout the conference, consisted of all-conference Sundy Thompson, Wen¬ dy Martin, Sue Rubenstein, Chris M il- lewski, and Julie Hedrich. Wendy Mar¬ tin even scored a goal from mid-field leading the team to a one-point victory. However, the team’s main scoring came from all-conference Dawn Jacobs, Kar¬ in Janessa, Barb Noesen, and Kristi Lall. Experience, the best teacher, played a major role in contributing to the suc¬ cess of the team. The majority of sen¬ iors, who dominated the team, received special recognition for playing on a va¬ riety team while maintaining a high grade point average. The teams ability vastly improved due to the cooperation and dedication of the players, allowing them to compete on the same level as teams they had previously lost to. All- conference goalie Bea Revlins stated, “Although we lost to Evanston, we played the best soccer we were capable of playing. Challenging such a well-re¬ spected team and being considered a threat, was a major accomplishment. All our hours of practice reallv paid off.” Megan Goldish Teamwork is a vital ingredient in a winning season. Senior Dawn Jacobs, aware of her oppo¬ nent. prepares to pass the ball to her teammate. Girls Varsity Soccer Coach And Crowd Go Wild Over Girls JV Soccer As the Girls’ JV Soccer team scored another goal, the crowd and head coach Peter Zorn went wild. Coach Zorn and the Girls ' JV Soc¬ cer team had a very success¬ ful season of 10 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties due to the team continuity achieved during the season. According to senior Jane Martinez, “Because the JV Soccer team was so close knit, we cooper¬ ated well with one another during the games which helped to strengthen our per¬ formance during the season.” The experience of the juniors helped to develop the soccer skills of the freshmen and sophomores. Sophomore Ag¬ nes Danguilan stated, “All of the hard work and dedica¬ tion finally paid off.” The Girls ' JV soccer team ' s pay¬ off was a second place con¬ ference showing.

This record proves that this year’s team has worked hard to overcome previous poor seasons. Ex¬ perience and dedication contributed to the success of the varsity team, allow¬ ing four players, Tom Denic, Andreas Harris, Lambros Kalamaris, and Owen Masterton, to receive the honor of all¬ conference. With help from returning starter Andreas Limber, Tassos Giana- kakos, Urik Halliday, Mik¬ hail Lyubansky, Jim Valavanis an Gus Vervilas contributed to the team’s suc¬ cess.

Our record, though it’s good, does not justice to the talent on our team.” A strong defense and an effective offense helped the Boys Var¬ sity Soccer team achieve a record that both they and the school can be proud of.

The first goal, to whip their opponents, they hoped would lead to the fulfillment of their second goal, a goal that would bring the title, “conference champs, to the Indians. The freshman team worked hard under the lead¬ ership of Coach Zorn. Their long hours of practice and their team concept enabled them to reach the goals they strived for. With the many dedicated players, including team leaders Flavio Rocha and Stratios Kalamaris they ended the season with a re¬ cord of 8-3-2, bringing home the conference trophy. As they watched the fresh¬ men defeat their opponents, the sophomore team, coached by James Sweeney, hoped for the same results. With a year of experience be¬ hind them, they attacked each game and were deter¬ mined to win. However, they fell short of their goal, end¬ ing the season with a hard fought third place confer¬ ence. Gaining experience each day, the members of the sophomore and freshman soccer teams prepared for the future star Indians at the varsity level.

Freshman Sophomore Soccer 215 A Bittersweet Season As the buzzer sounded on October 28, the football sea¬ son came to a bitter sweet fi¬ nale. The Waukegan Raiders had routed the Indians 27-7, robbing them of their first winning season in years, not to mention a Homecoming victory. However, the season still had many highlights. Practice was one aspect that made the Indians suc¬ cessful. During practice on the day prior to a game, play¬ ers referred to as “special teams” rehearsed kickoffs and kickoff returns. As part of the preparation, players received awards for the pre¬ vious week’s game. In addi¬ tion, Head Coach Bill Rich¬ ardson helped to arouse team spirit and participation by discussing last year’s game against the same opponent. On the night preceeding a game, the players met for a strength building and morale boosting diner at a team member’s house. Pointing out his views of the team, senior member Mark Argetsinger remarked, “We had one of the best backfields in the league, and a great offensive line to go with it.” The offense banged out at least 250 yards a game. Senior Dean Klemenz ram¬ bled for 937 yards on one hundred and sixty-five car¬ ries in the year. At the same time, Tim Queen threw 104 passes for a total of 689 yards. Offensive attack was led by seniors Mark Arget¬ singer, Dean Klemenz, Tim Queen, and Paul Schramm. “Our defense rated among the top teams in the Central Suburban League North,” commented senior Rob Man- dell. Because of the superb coaching of Bill Richardson and the all-conference plays of Apostolou, Klemenz, O’Brien, Queen, Schramm, and Youstra, the football team achieved a very impres¬ sive season, going 2-2 in con¬ ference play and 4-5 overall. Coach Richardson summed it up best when he said, “I hope that the under¬ classmen will carry on the winning ways established by the varsity football team.” Andy Lundsberg Niles West Opp. Argo 21 9 New Trier 20 23 Maine East 34 6 Evanston 6 29 Highland Park 34 350.T.

This traditional description also fits the Freshman and Soph¬ omore Football teams. Due to the large turnout of over fifty freshman football players, coaches Steve Ram- seyer, Ron Gralewski, and Elmer Erby had their hands full of finding and develop¬ ing so much crude talent. Freshman players required many hours of preparation to catch up with the more experienced teams of other schools. The coaches divided the group into the A” and B” teams, with separate schedules. The A” team ended up with a record of one win, one tie, and six losses. Although the less suc¬ cessful ”B” team had no wins, the season helped de¬ velop their potential. The Sophomore Football team achieved three victo¬ ries and four losses for the season. Besides getting a taste of the game, sopho¬ mores learned to enjoy the competition and comarad- erie of high school football. These sophomores will enter junior year as welcome addi¬ tions.

The team employed a variety of offenses and defenses to fool their opponents. The eyes of the entire state were focused on girls basketball and Niles West, when the Indians hosted Maine West in the last regular-season game of the year. The attention was actually on Maine West, which had a chance to tie the state consecutive win record with a victory over Niles West. The game was supposed to be a blow out. The Warriors were defending state champions and entered the con¬ test with a 62 game winning streak. In addition, they had already beaten the Indians by 40 points earlier in the sea¬ son. The second time around, the results were the same. Maine West, ranked by U.S A Today as the top girls team in the country, won their 63rd game, trying the record set by Peoria Richwoods in 1984. While the results were the same, The margin of victory was not. The lady cagers hung in the game, refusing to allow the Warriors to pull away, At the start of the fourth quarter, they were down only eight points, after actually outscoring Maine West 22-15 in the third quarter, Maine West went on to win the game 77-59, but it was still a victory of sorts for the Indians. For one thing, the players could con¬ sole themselves with the knowledge that no team has beaten Maine West since, who else but Niles West, accom¬ plished the feat three years ago. Then, there is the obvious improve¬ ment the team has made since their first meeting with Maine West, as dem¬ onstrated by the 22 point difference in the margins of victory. In addition, the team can always remember their 3rd quarter perfor¬ mance, knowing that, for at least one quarter, they had outscored the best team in the country. The leader of the third quarter rally was a senior point guard Heather Don¬ lon. Donlon, the team’s top outside shooter and second leading scorer, scored 18 of the team’s 22 points in the quarter. Sixteen of those points, which included four straight three-pointers, came consecutively. Donlon finished the game with 29 points. The Indians were not, however, a one man, uh — girl, team. The starting line-up featured three seniors, all con¬ sistent scorers. In addition to Donlon, Sandy S tergios and forward Debbie Pozdol, the team’s leading scorer, av¬ eraged in double figures. The rest of the line-up included promising fresh¬ man Heather McKenna and junior Helen Ress.

JV Players Spirit Prevails Even though the Junior Varsity Girls’ Basketball team had a record of seven and nine this past season, their cooperativeness and spirit prevailed. Coach Klebba commented, As freshmen, they won only one game; seven wins this year indicates a significant im¬ provement in skills and un¬ derstanding of the game. They must continue to im¬ prove their work habits to be competitive.” Players whose improve¬ ment helped the team in¬ cluded leading rebounder Paula Hansen, leading scorer Jill Hammond, second leading scorer Stephanie Is¬ rael, and Ana Suboni, the only freshman on the junior varsity team. Klebba also believes that the team, wins or loses their games because of their com¬ petitiveness, describing the high point of the season as a 41-37 overtime win over Waukegan East avenging an easier loss. Klebba concluded, This was an enjoyable group. They are easy to coach and generally cooperative and compatible with each other.” Robyn Nadick Huma Qureshi The team practices hard to play competitive matches.

During the second half of the season (starting with Pontiac Tournament), how¬ ever, the team turned it around winning the games they felt they should win. No magical potion or strat¬ egy changed the team’s los¬ ing ways. According to sen¬ ior forward John Lally, the team had been playing well enough to win but was just unable to get the knockout in the first part of the sea¬ son. What then put the pop in the Indian’s punch? Opin¬ ions vary, but the over¬ whelming response from team members was that dur¬ ing the Pontiac Tournament, in which the team won two of the four games played, the players gained the confi¬ dence they needed to win the close games. In addition, the Pontiac Tournament also saw the emergence of 6-4 senior Da¬ vid Miller as an important contributor off the bench. Before the tournament. Miller was riding the bench, getting virtually no playing time. At Pontiac he got the chance to play, and has been the first big man off the bench ever since. While Miller, sophomore guard Eric Gold, senior for¬ ward Jeff Foss and other re¬ serves made important con¬ tributions, the bulk of the team’s turnaround has to be attributed to the improved play of the starters. Head coach Tom Meyer originally went with a big line-up, starting 6-4 seniors Lally and Foss at the for¬ ward slots, 6-6 junior Ali Lej- lic at center, 6-2 junior Jim Nikolakakis at off (shooting) guard and 5-11 senior Max Shulman at the point. For the Pontiac Tourna¬ ment, Meyer went with a smaller but quicker line-up. He brought Foss off the bench, moved Nikolakakis to the small forward slot, and started 6-0 senior Andy Lali- berty in Nikolakakis’s spot. The change seemed to help and Meyer kept this line-up the rest of the season. Mikhail Lyubansky Jumping higher than his oppo¬ nent, senior David Miller passes the ball to an open teammate.

Starting four out of five underclassmen, the team, with experience to a young team like us. It really builds up our confi¬ dence when we play together,” com¬ mented junior Matt LaLiberty. The team boasted a .500 record at the end of the season. However, many of the players plan to play on the sum¬ mer League team, which consists of some of the top rated teams in the state. This program allows team members to gain experience for the upcoming regu¬ lar season. Senior forward Javier Var¬ gas summed up his involvement on the team by commenting, It was a lot of fun, while giving us the experience we needed.” Nick Stratigakes As the final minutes of the game approach.

The season started out with the girls topping last year’s high score against Maine South with a 126.7. Head coach Jodi Nebbia commented, I was really pleased that we scored that high this early in the season. 1 was really pleased with the effort; we should improve.” A total group effort con¬ tributed to the team’s suc¬ cess. The varsity team, com prised of 5 seniors, 8 juniors, 2 sophomores, and 2 fresh¬ men, succeeded in achieving most of their goals which included beating their high With a smile of content, junior Grace Diaz shows her flexibility during a balance beam routine.

Senior Captain Lauren Wagner commented, What’s unique about our team is that we’re all friends. What grade you’re in doesn’t matter.” That special closeness brought the team to a 2 and 2 conference record, a 5 and 3 overall record, and a first place title in the Star is Born” Invitational.

Although not school spon¬ sored, the team includes seventeen Niles West students. In the first twelve games, the Indians suffered only one defeat to Leyden. The Indians even boasted four out of the top six scorers in the Metro Division; Marc Bechar, Scott Ledwon, Kevin Oztekin and Jemuel Ripley. Early in the season, the Indians qualified for the state tournament. Sen¬ ior Marc Bechar stated We seem to be peaking at the right time with the state tournament just around the corner”.

Struggling for a three point turn over, senior Scott Shapiro manages to overpower his oppo¬ nent and come up with a victory. Wrestling has become a popular sport for stu¬ dents to participate in and attend as spectators. Wrestlers Complete Busy Season Although half-nelson, Grambi, Re¬ versal and take-down might sound strange to most people, these terms mean much to an experienced wrestler. The Indians, known state-wide for their successful wrestling program, started the season with their usual vigor and determination. They grappled, ran, and worked out in the weight room from 3:00 to 5:00 daily in preparation for weekend meets. The team ' s dedication produced continuous victories. Wres¬ tlers frequently arrived at 6:15 A.M. for early-morning running sessions and many adjusted their diets to make weight.” Three returning all-conference wres¬ tlers, Bobby Pine, 112 lbs; Marc Tadel- man, 119 lbs. and Brett Youstra, 152 lbs. along with Kevin Hansen, 140 lbs., and Scott Shapiro, 103 lbs. have earned impressive individual records. In fact, Tadelman remains undefeated. The In¬ dians have captured first place eight out of the last nine seasons. Despite intense perseverance, the team ended this season, however, in fourth place. Captain Marc Tadelman commented, We could have won the conference and regional titles if we had a full line-up.” Lack of wrestlers may have accounted for this season’s record. With at least three forfeits per meet at 160 lbs., 170 lbs., and 189 lbs., the Indians had to fight twic e as hard. The team, under the direction of newly appointed Gary Hutchinson, is relatively inexperienced compared to previous Indian teams. The team has optimistic hopes for future seasons and will depend upon consistency from ju¬ niors Howie Amiel, 130 lbs; Matt Stern, 135 lbs., and Bill Tsagalis, heavyweight. Captain Brett Youstra observed, We still have a good program even with the coaching changes. Coach Hutchinson is doing a terrific job but the kids must continue to work harder to be the In¬ dian wrestling team that opponents fear. They must strive to restore the Niles West Wrestling Dynasty.” Megan Goldish Vigorously attempting an overhead lock, wres¬ tler Howie Amiel takes his opponent down. The Indians went on to beat Waukegan West in this meet. With all his strength, this varsity wrestler takes dowm his opponent. The team was guided by the expertise of Coach Hutchinson.

JV Wrestlers Provide Spirit Even though participation dropped in junior varsity wrestling this year, spirited efforts by those who went out for the sport made this season an im¬ portant one for beginning wrestlers. According to Kurt Baran, Losses were due to forfeits. Junior Varsity had to forfeit seven out of fourteen weights.” More participation next year can help prevent forfeits. Coach Porter prepared the wrestlers for their weekly matches by using the weight room and putting wrestlers against one another. Freshmen Peter Hepner stated, It could have been a better season if we had more people go out for the sport. We have a great team, just not enough people are interested.” The training of Coach Porter provided the wrestlers with the experience of a first season. This year’s team possesses a bright future to a winning season next year. Mia Adler Donna Peterson Freshman Team- Front row: Vince Luisi. Chad Twoday, Peter Hepner, Shashi Gowda, Jose Gor- maz.

Throughout the previous season, the Indians experi¬ enced many such victories which allowed them to win second place conferences, just behind the Deerfield Warriors. According to Coach Paula Sfickas, Coaching is a lot of hard work, but after holding those conference trophies in my hands, all the hard work and dedication pays off.” The JV and Freshman teams coached by Steve Ramseyer and Dave Brandes also ob¬ tained winning records of 10- 7, and 8-8. The coaches all hope that future teams will involve as much enthusiasm as present teams do. We had so much spirit. It makes coaching a lot easier when everyone enjoys what they do,” comments Ramseyer. For the future, the coaches and players share the same goal, an improved team.

Softball Happenings 243 244 An Unpredictable Season Ups and downs didn’t discourage In¬ dians in the least bit. Instead, it left them with a positive attitude, working and striving to be the best! The 1987-88 team started off the baseball season on the right pitch, winning their first six games against Proviso East, Notre Dame, Niles North, Waukegan East, Deerfield and Highland Park. Unfortu¬ nately, the Indians experienced an un¬ expected losing streak soon after, los¬ ing 10 out of their 13 games. However, during this time Coach Galla elevated some underclassmen to see if it would change the team’s luck in any way. Brad Niedermaier pitched many games for the Indians making Coach Galla extremely enthusiastic about his fu¬ ture as a starting pitcher for the follow¬ ing season. Another young player, John Covington, took on the position of centerfield. His performance during this time gave Coach Galla an optimis¬ tic view about Covington’s future on the team as well. Team members did not allow bad luck to bring their spirits down. Steve Schaffer’s views stated, Although our team struggled at the end of the season, we seemed to get better each game.” At the close of the season, many key players were lost. Among these players were seniors Brad Kave, Craig Harris, Brian Israel, Dave Neuhauser, Steve Schaffer, and Herbie Diaz. Neverthe¬ less, Coach Galla seemed confident that the experience gained by the remain¬ ing players during their losing streak will result in a successful upcoming season.

Junior Cabinet makes all of the arrangements for Prom, but fundraising for this exhilarating ac¬ tivity begins in the freshman cabinet. Although the freshmen had just started high school, the class cabinet did not let any time go to waste. Sponsor, Ms. Zucker added, Officers were elected early this year which really helped us to get ac¬ quainted faster and also organized sooner.” The freshman cabinet partici¬ pated in the selling of Homecoming but¬ tons, and to show spirit they built a float for the Homecoming Parade. President, Natalie Figura stated, Our goal this year is to organize activities to involve the whole freshman class.” Vice-president Elena Fen, secretary Katherine Ripley and treasurer Stephanie Pasignajen helped plan a variety of fundraisers to begin to build the treasury that will be used for Prom in the junior year. After three years of hard work, the junior class cabinet readily took on the responsibility of the 1989 Prom as well as planning many other activities during the year. Preparing a successful junior-senior Prom takes a lot of fundraising and pa¬ tience. To earn money, the Junior Cabinet sold candy and also held many bake sales at the snack bar. Besides Prom, the ju¬ niors also planned the ever-popular Tal¬ ent Show, a Junior-Senior Volleyball Game, and the Twilight Dance after the homecoming game. Excited about her first year as sponsor, Ms. Perez stated, I am really happy with the Junior Cabinet, it’s great working with such hard-working students.” President Grace Diaz, vice- president Daphne Mazarakis, secretary Tracy Pecs, and treasurer Steve Rudin, provided leadership for the active cabinet. Three years of school separate the Freshmen and Junior Cabinets, but both exhibit class spirit and also the enthusi¬ asm and energy that contribute to the making of Prom each year.

Catching It All The voice of the school — covering stories from the Presiden¬ tial election to the controversial mascot issue, each staff member must have his ears open and typewriter handy to catch every juicy story that sets foot onto the West scene. It is the entire staffs responsibility to inform the students, faculty and adminis¬ tration of all the latest information from news to features, and editorials to sports. Although a great amount of work is involved with producing a quality newspaper every two weeks, the staff members take pride in their efforts as sophomore reporter Elliott Malkin said, “It gives me a sense of accomplishment when I see my name printed over an article in the paper.” Under the leadership of co-editors- in-chief Michelle Lewis and Mikhail Lyubansky, the staff con¬ sisted of reporters and page editors Karin Much and Rummana Hussain (news), Nicole Price (editorials), Masha Alexander and Eric Phillips (features), and Jason Burk and Stacy Hosch (sports). Photography editor Mike Havdala, along with photog¬ raphers concentrated on organizing pictures and advertising di¬ rector Marc Geslani on collecting ads. Several cartoonists also contributed their artwork to spice up the layouts. With a surge of new reporters and editors and a redesigned name plate, the “West Word” successfully created 16 issues with a 10-page holiday issue and a special senior issue. Teamwork and cooperation are the essence of the publication’s success and ac¬ cording to the “West Word” adviser Jerome Orr, the entire staff put in many hours beyond the allotted classroom time to publish a high quality newspaper.

Senate Sessions Seek Improvement The Student CounciTs legislative branch, the Student Senate, found the year full of challenges. Student Senate seeked to improve the school condition, not by planning socials, but by address¬ ing issues of policy. Senate worked with the administration in drafting and re¬ vising current policies. Student Senate held meetings on Mondays and Thurs¬ days of each week to carry out their work. Vice president Eric Orsic stated, The enjoyment of Senate comes from working to overcome the constant challenges which we are confronted with. Handling these obstacles and achieving favorable outcomes beneficial for the student body are the primary goals of Senate.” It takes a real dedication to be in Senate,” commented Senate Presi¬ dent Marc Gesllani, Because the work that we do is not always fun, in the com¬ mon sense our work is fun.” Some of the issues the Senate dealt with this year were: the Indian Mascot, the Robinson Bus controversy, Walkmans, and the prob¬ lem with the bookstore. With hard work and dedication the Senate body made their mark on these pressing issues. Student Senate Executive members Eric Orsic t and Marc Geslani conduct a Stu¬ dent Senate meeting in the multi¬ purpose room. The Indian issue was a major topic the senate dealt with during the year. NiWeHi students exchange ideas about school policies with Marengo High School students. To complete the exchange program, Student Senate visited their high school in April. f Student Senate Chinese Club-Front row: Carol Simone, Sai-Man Law, Michael Yu, Allen Tsao, Corinna Law.

This new idea’s purpose is to expose students and their teachers to the Chinese culture. Polishing up on their calligraphy, sophomore Sai-Man Law and fellow club member Sung Kim take part in a Chinese Club activity. The club offers a chance for all students to experience new and different things. 258 Chinese Korean Clubs r Learning the history and culture of other lands goes beyond the classroom for Korean and Chinese stu¬ dents who became aware of their heritage through ethnic clubs. For two years the Chi¬ nese and Korean clubs have provided both education and entertainment for their members. For their third year, the Chinese Club made students and faculty more aware of Chinese culture. Along with the participation in the an¬ nual International Night, the members also created a dance party for the Chinese New Year. According to Mi- cheal Yu, “As one of the in¬ ternational clubs we simply serve as a way for people to communicate with others who share interest in their culture.” President Micheal Yu, Secretary Allen Tsao, and Treasurer Sai-man Law led members through an¬ other successful year which Chinese Korean Clubs 259 Fundraising, an essential part in clubs, takes a lot of planning.

Keeping In Touch With Their Heritage included introducing Chi¬ nese Calligraphy and giving Chinese cooking lessons. Korean club, another eth¬ nic organization, focused on Korean current affairs. Offi¬ cers decided to hold the monthly meetings in Korean for those members who do not understand English very well. Along with bake sales and participation in Interna¬ tional Night, members played in an annual volley¬ ball tournament sponsored by the Chicago Korean High School Association. During the Korean New Year, the club performed for the elder¬ ly in various nursing homes. Club Sponsor Angela Gra¬ ham explained, “Through Korean club bake sales and performances at Internation¬ al Nights, staff and students of many backgrounds have come to appreciate Korean cuisine and culture, the vigor and elegance of an ancient civilization and a gracious diligent and wise peo¬ ple.” Under the direc¬ tion of President Hyung Mi Bae, Vice- ; President Jaewoo Jeong, and Secretary Treasurer Kathy Yim, the club attained many of their goals such as getting more students involved, helping new arrivals adjust to American culture, and meeting Korean stu¬ dents from neighboring schools. Although these two clubs represent differ¬ ent cultures, they both contribute many activi¬ ties which provide fun and learning for both members and non¬ members. Marla Schrager Korean Club Officers Esther Bae and Hak Kang lead a meeting after school. The Korean club participates in Volleyball tournaments with other clubs throughout the year. During a meeting of the French Club, treasurer Andreea Gociman and president Yiwen Chang discuss what to do for Inter¬ national Night. The club decided on a mock fashion show for the evening. Amused by the new idea they proposed, club members Megan Goldish, Yvonne Barazi and Karin Much take time out from the meeting.

As one of the largest ethnic clubs, German club’s spirit continues each year. Before the meeting, club members congregate to discuss new ideas. From week to week students come up with new and different ideas for the organi¬ zation. Germans Celebrate CULTURE “Am dreiBigsten Mai ist der Weltuntergang! Wir leben nicht mehr lang. Wir leben nicht mehr lang!” A sweet melody accompanies the lyrics of this song, which seem dreary at first, telling of the nearing of the end of the world. Melancholy does not typify German attitudes, however, so the lyrics change and become ironic. The first verse expresses somewhat of a horror, “We won’t be living much longer.” Reflecting their op¬ timistic attitude, the verse changes, “But nobody knows in what year the world will end, and that’s wonderful! Perhaps we’ll be here for many years still!” The joy of living is expressed most thoroughly by Germans’ com¬ mitment to celebrating, which they promise to do in ending this song. German teacher George Brink, or “Herr Brink,” leads his classes in singing festive songs, but classes alone do not provide enough time for culture lessons. Students gain a better understanding of German culture through participation in the German club, singing songs and planning activities pertaining to German culture. Club members, led by president Christina Gabriel, planned a trip to see a German film, visit a German neighborhood in Chicago, and eat lunch and desserts at a German pastry shop. At International Night, the German club sang traditional German Carols, such as “O Tannen- baum.” A winter ski trip brought members together for a day of pure enjoyment on the slopes, a common activ¬ ity of Germans in the southern, mountainous Bavaria. The German club builds up its treasury with popular bake sales each year, using some of the money to help fund the German Exchange Program. According to Christina Gabriel, “The German club offers students the opportunity to explore a different culture through activities and allows students with a common interest in the German background to get together and enjoy themselves.

Culture And Politics Highlight Israeli Filipino Clubs To have a better under¬ standing and appreciation of another culture, students join various ethnic clubs which provide a chance to meet friends with similar in¬ terests and engage in social activities. Both the Israeli Club and the Filipino Club attract a large membership each year. The Israeli Club teaches students about the culture, religion, and politics of Isra¬ el. Members enjoy a field trip with Niles North in the mid¬ dle of the year, and partici¬ pate enthusiastically in In¬ ternational Night. During meetings, some members practice their Hebrew while others socialize and ponder situations occurring in Israel. Club sponsor Dr. Miron, who feels that students benefit by their membership in the Is¬ raeli Club commented, “A culture club is a place where the student can get involved emotionally, intellectually, and physically with the peo¬ ple, the culture, and the land of the respective nation of which the club is its exten¬ sion. In that respect, the Is¬ raeli Club fulfills the need of each participant, regardless of his or her original back¬ ground.” “Mabuhay sa inyong la- hat!” might sound familiar only to members of the pop¬ ular Filipino Club who read that as, “A good life to all of you!” Filipino Club members enjoy active participation in school-sponsored events, while gaining a better under¬ standing and appreciation of the Filipino culture. Presi¬ dent Fehlyn Tulen stated, ‘‘Thanks to the large mem¬ bership we have, and the abundance of enthusiasm in our group, we were able to participate in more activities than we have in the past.” Bake sales, International Night, Volleyball games and bowling, name just a few of the many activities of this club. During meetings, this close-knit group, with the support of new sponsor Ed¬ mund Murphy, discuss histo¬ ry, politics, and current situ¬ ations of the Philippines. Members of both Israeli and Filipino Clubs, really appreciate the benefits of be¬ longing to an ethnic club where they can gain a better understanding of a different culture and make new friends too.

The Spanish Club has participated in many honorable activities such as donating to the Mexican Flood Emergency relief fund and also do¬ nating time and Christmas gifts to underpriviledged hispanic children at Casa Central Day Care Center. Senior President Xyla Gatilao adds, What you get out of Spanish Club is beyond classroom verb conjugation. Here one can experience and taste a little Spanish culture. To be able to communicate with a child who could only speak Spanish is lots of fun!” The club also provides a chance of its mem¬ bers to form new friends and relation¬ ships. Spanish Club allows students to meet and talk to others who share a common interest. Ethnic clubs are one of the best ways to learn about other cultures, outside of visiting the coun¬ try.”, added secretary Nicole Price. i Anthony Stegich A dedicated member works diligently to complete a bake sale poster for the Spanish Club.

Spanish Club Spanish National Honor Society 265 266 Awaiting the next question, team members Yiwen Chang, Marc Slutzky, and Suzanne Ahn are ready! In this meet, they competed against Evanston. During a practice session, academic bowl members test their knowledge by group discussions and by the use of computers. Practice is necessary for the team to compete with other local schools. The Brainy Bunch “Bzzzzzzzzz,” sounds the buzzer, pressed by a mem¬ ber of the Academic Bowl team, to indicate willingness to answer the question. A competition based on a quick hand and a quicker mind, has captivated eligible juniors and seniors. The competition can be conducted in one of two ways. Traditionally, teams of five students from differ¬ ent schools compete in a buzzer contest to see how quickly and correctly questions can be answered. The team with the most points, based on speed and accura¬ cy, advances to the next round. In another type of competition, known as the AUK competition, a large group of students gathers around a computer, which runs a disk with the AUK questions. The schools that score in the top of this nationwide competition receive various prizes, such as money or a trip. A new contest called the STARS 2000 High School Academic Team Competition combines the two meth¬ ods. Computer controlled rounds, similar to the AUK contest, begin the competition. If a team scores in the top 50 r ( on the first round, it advances to the second. After the second round, the top sixteen teams nation¬ wide advance to Lexington, Kentucky, where a buzzer round completes the contest. Second, third, and fourth place winners receive an IBM computer for their school and the top placing team gets $10,000 for their school.

Academic Bowl NHS “Delinquents?” On The Contrary - NHS Members An everyday, indistinguishable student passed by the Multi-Purpose Room after school one day and noticed a huge mob of students inside, creating an incredible fuss. He wondered what organization it was, then reconsidered and decided the detention hall had been moved to house the large number of delinquents he saw. He proceeded down the hallway pondering the terrible situation the supervising teacher would have to deal with. Meanwhile, in the Multi-Purpose Room, Mrs. Horwitz and Mrs. Handler struggled to quiet the “delinquents.” Everyone settled down, and a meeting of members of the National Honor Society began, quite the opposite of a meeting of delinquents. The National Honor Society, NHS, has an unusually large number of members, reflecting the talent of this year’s senior class. More than 70 students have been inducted to the society, despite the strict criteria for membership. Students must demonstrate a high level of scholarship and participation through activities in the school and must also possess records free from incidents of cheating or improper behavior. Pledging themselves to maintain these standards, NHS members support charitable activities such as a holiday food drive, the Crusade of Mercy, and a spring blood drive. Other activities such as a fall volleyball tournament provide enjoyment for members, while raising funds for charities, and reflect the society’s desire to blend academic achievements with athletics, since many members hold interest in both. Under the guidance of Mrs. Handler and Mrs. Horwitz, NHS has sought to become more active and more recognized. A fall induction ceremony especially aimed at under¬ classmen, who may be inspired by the image and strive to gain the standards of members in the NHS, presented a strong, positive image of NHS. “NHS, through the guidance of our sponsors, will leap into full school participation and will hopefully stand out with deserved recognition,” asserted James Lee, who, along with Scott Toban, Matt Reznik, and president Suzanne Ahn leads this prestigious group. Each member of NHS has pride in his accomplishments and involvement with NHS, and each time he dons his blue t-shirt displaying the gold emblem designed by Hak Kang, he has a renewed sense of self respect. James Lee concluded, “The marked difference in this year’s NHS is that we’re willing to stand out and be recognized rather than run our activities from the background shadow.” Nikoletta Antonakos NHS- Front row: Maria Wright, Joe Chung, Parveen Najiullah.

Academic Bowl NHS 268 Prairie People Although ecology club ac¬ quaints students interested in na¬ ture with the prairie, it also teach¬ es the members about various nat¬ ural ecosystems found in northern Illinois. Members participate in various field trips to places such as Indiana Dunes, Starved Rock, the Field Museum, Brookfield Zoo, and Cantigny. According to club sponsor Gerald Firak, “We take students to places they ordinarily would not go by themselves.” Be¬ sides going on field trips, the members also tend to the nearby prairie preserves by burning it and replanting it with different types of wild flowers and plants found in northern Illinois. Unfortunate¬ ly this valuable club may die out unless interested students replace the departing seniors. Ecology club, which has been around since the 1960’s, has proved to be of great value to both students and faculty.

Our Own Club Med To learn about their future ca¬ reers, many students join the small but active Medical Careers Club. Through field trips, speak¬ ers, and films, members learn about the medical profession. Students receive a guided tour by one of the medical staff at Lutheran General Hospital where they visit the departments most interesting to them. The club also has programs about getting into medical school, being medical stu¬ dents, and choosing possible ca¬ reers. These future doctors, nurses, and medical technicians also watch films pertaining to their future careers. “The club is a good opportunity for students who are interested in medical ca¬ reers to get together.” commented sponsor Rita Kay. Medical Careers Club also holds fundraisers for the American Can¬ cer Society. Every year the club puts up posters and hands out pamphlets for the American Can¬ cer Society Smoke-Out and Bike- A-Thon to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Through the years, the mem¬ bership of Medical Careers Club has been dwindling, but the club hopes to increase membership by having more special events such as speakers, field trips, and fun¬ draisers. Although fewer in num¬ ber, the Medical Careers Club members remain as active as al¬ ways. Deborah Kang Ecology Medical Careers 269 Always In Control Although cars racing down the school halls at high speed would surprise most students, members of the year-old Radio Controlled Car Club consider this a common sight. Informally structured with action-packed meeting, the club brings friends together to rap about the latest “R.C.” car tips and race their cars against each other. “The RC Car Club gives us something in the way of competition,” commented officer Timothy Sauerman. Racing and rapping do not cover all of the club’s features. Junior Dennis Peterson explained another as¬ pect of the club, “For some, the RC Club is very educa¬ tional. Everyone gets to see how other cars are built and run.” Nicole Price Radio Control Car Club- Front row: Nick Jameson, Tim Sauerman, Bill Wlodarczyk, Back row: Mike Powers, Allen Rossow, Tom Wlodarczyk.

The group met after school to practice and discuss their skills. Shutterbugs “What type of film was used?” “What was your shutter speed?” “That is a great shot!” These are some common remarks heard at a typical meeting of the Niles West Photo Club. The photo club, which meets every other Tuesday, is a great way for anyone even slightly interested in photography to ex¬ press their ideas and creativity. Members critique other students’ work by offering comments on the picture composition and developing techniques. The club, with science teacher John Beeftink as a sponsor, is open to all grade levels. There are currently more than 20 participatns. It provides members with the opportunity to meet with fellow students who share an interest in photography. Members are allowed to use the school darkroom during club time or the students’ free time. The darkroom is a luxury for students who usually do not have access to one. It is a fantastic way to gain knowledge about darkroom techniques. The club sponsors an annual photo con¬ test in which color and black and white prints are accepted. It is open to all stu¬ dents at Niles West as well as faculty mem¬ bers. Photography is a great way to show ev¬ eryone how you see the world. If 20 photog¬ raphers were given an assignment to shoot the same thing, you would get 20 different shots. The pictures would vary in angle, view and composition. Each would tell a different story based on the style of the photographer. Since Niles West does not offer photog¬ raphy courses as a part of their classroom curriculum, the Photo Club gives its par¬ ticipants the chance to develop their own pictures, build a portfolio of their work and develop friendships with other “shutter- bugs.” Stacy Hosch Photography Club- First row: Kerri Amodeo, Carrie Leeds, Mindi Rosenbaum, Julie Justesen, Heidi Schneider, Adriana Halbac, Monica Lee, Hyun Jung Woo, Melba Castillo.

Ideas have to be short, catch people ' s attention, and get the message across. SADD Not A Sad Story, But A SADD Story Crashed cars, key chains, and campaigns don’t do it all for S.A.D.D. Hard work, time, and most importantly people, makes Students Against Driving Drunk grow in size and power each year. When prom time rolls around, everyone expects the wrecked car out on the lawn, but this year SADD members sponsored a campaign during the holi¬ days, before winter break and celebrated SADD Day. They decorated the walls with the posters and slogans from a chapter-wide contest for the holiday campaign. For SADD Day, face paint was used to write on members’ faces. The club also represented the school at a community crime prevention display in Skokie. All in all, SADD acquired new members, used new ideas, and, best of all, got its message across to more people. SADD secretary, Karin Much, commented, “Students Against Driving Drunk is worthwhile because it helps people and saves lives, while informing the public of the dangers of drinking and driving. The thing that people should realize is that SADD’s purpose is not to tell people not to drink. We just don’t want people to drink and drive.” Yvonne Barazi On his way in, senior Greg Burdo asks for a contract. The contract states that the students will not drink and drive and will call for a ride if they need one. Signing in before a meeting, SADD members rush, in order to get a seat.

Peering In On The Group Although friends commonly sit around talking about current happenings, Peer Groups take this activity one step further. Student Leadership Peer Counseling began four years ago when social worker David Lee held the first training meeting with twenty-five students. Because teen-agers can strongly influence each other, the Peer Group goal as stated in their handbook, is “channeling this peer influence in a positive, growth-producing direction, attempting to help teens develop a more positive self-concept and social skills, make good judgments, and become more responsible.” Students interested in leading groups learn important tools of communica¬ tion such as feedback, paraphrasing, summarizing, and body language. After training one hour after school for twenty weeks, students qualify to pass on their new knowledge. Subgroups of five to ten teens and two leaders meet during their free time, lunch or study hall. The Peer Group program now consists of fifty-five leaders. In addition to learning communication skills and engaging in fun energizers, the groups have many open-ended discussions that cover a wide range of topics and interests. Donna Wezio Before the meeting begins, members Tracy Hirshman, Donna Wezio and Rachel Garland dis¬ cuss things that came up in their groups. Group leaders are always present to help each other and give advice. 274 Peer Counseling Leaders Leaders Pave The Way Helping other students improve their fitness and physical skills, kept Leaders in the P.E. program busy. Leaders had the opportunity to test individual leadership and teach their peers. Member Jaye Jao stated, “Leaders is really a lot of fun. You learn to be responsible and at the same time help out the P.E. teachers conduct class.” The sponsors of the Leaders program, Bill Schnurr and Lee Heeren, both agree that Leaders gym benefits both students and teachers. The physical education staff greatly appreciates the help of the Leaders. Besides leading ex¬ ercises, and demonstrating tech¬ niques in classes they “lead”, the leaders also attend a daily gym class made up of only leaders, where they all compete. Junior Leader Rachel Berman enjoys be¬ ing a leader because she has met a lot of new people. She also stat¬ ed,” I just wish more people would get involved in the program.” Rodney Pintang Leaping through the air, senior Calvin Ramseyer practices his spikes.

Peer Counseling Leaders 275 276 Tutors To The Rescue Sweating through many hours of difficult study can leave one doubtful of his or her own abilities. Therefore, to eliminate this problem, many students turn to mem¬ bers of the tutor’s club. Students seeking help sign up at the Foreign Language Resource Center for an appoint¬ ment during the day or after school with one of the thirty-five members of this club. According to club ad¬ visor Mrs. Horwitz, the most common requests are in chemistry, geometry and algebra, as well as other math and science courses. Senior JiSun Kim commented, “When I tutor people, I find I enjoy helping others when they ask seek my help.” Summing it up, senior Susan Quach expressed, “It gives the tutorer and the student a feeling of accom¬ plishment after each appointment.” Millie Kaufman Tutors Club- Front row: Jeannie Kim, Shoma Chatterjee, Mi¬ chelle Lewis, Millie Kaufman, Mike Dizon.

Sessions before, after, and during school are available for students’ convenience. Tujors Thespians While junior Amy Borys signs up for Fame, fellow juniors Meredith Holt and Nicole Benjamin wonder if they should also try out. FAME, a student produced musical played for sell-out crowds. On Composed of energetic students who have participat¬ ed in a minimum of three shows crew, Thespians bring together enthusiastic drama students. In order to at¬ tend the annual International Theater Arts Conference held in Muncie, Indiana, members hold various fun¬ draising activities including several bake sales. All extracurricular clubs need student executives. Thespians leaders include President Beth Lichtenstein, Vice-President Kirsten Gieler, Pascale Trouillot, secre¬ tary; and Carl Helwing, treasurer. Cindy Philbin takes the role of crew director, and Mr. Robert Johnson pro¬ vides adult leadership. The successful theater productions staged by Thespi¬ ans include: Pow Wow’s “Fame” a performance written, and directed by the students; the musical “Grease” di¬ rected by Mr. Robert Johnson; the spring play directed by Mr. James Batts; and the children’s theater’s pro¬ duction of “Androcles and the Lion.” Thespians share fun and excitement as well as hard work and time to ma ' ke each show “The Greatest Show on Earth!” With The Show Arms out and flying through the air, students give it their all learning a dance for FAME. Theater tryouts always have a large turnout. Thespians- Front row; Jennifer Collins, Carl Helwing, Pascale Trouillot, Beth Lichtenstein, Kir¬ sten Gieler.

Expressions, Concert Choir, and Girls’ Ensemble make up the choral group Ensem¬ ble. With the exception of Girls’ Ensemble, the chorus toured Orlando, Florida to perform at EPCOT Center and Disney World. “After three years in chorus, I’ve seen it grow into a very organized group. This year, the chorus was very strong. We’re singing music ranging from classical to jazz and our choreography is energetic and fits the music.” commented senior Kevin Steele. Many people said that chorus was a great experience because they learned a lot while enjoying themselves. Sheri Owens summed it up by saying, “This year has been a great one. We peake J ' ”ith our awesome Florida Tour.” The Chorus accompanied the Orchestra on their tour of Florida. They won the Homecoming float contest for the fifth consecutive year. Orchestra President Xyla Gatilao expressed, “With the majority of the Orchestra being seniors, we looked to this year’s Florida tour as an special memorable experience.” According to most or¬ chestra members, this year is not only special because of the tour. It’s special to them because Ted Kaitchuck, orchestra leader, will retire at the end of the school year. He concluded, “My desire is for all my students to continue music as both performers professionally, or as amateurs to enhance their lives through the arts.” Millie Kaufman Debbie Kang Orchestra-Front Row- Tecla Annes, Janine Breit, Ji Sun Kim, Tammy Robertson, Xyla Gatilao, Leanne Statland, Stephanie Berger, Julia Paphitis.

Chorus Orchestra 279 280 Marching And Keeping In Step Improving more and more every day and grow¬ ing in size each year, the color guard and marching band add an exciting touch to school activities. Long, hard hours of prac¬ tice on Tuesdays help pre¬ pare the color guard for home-game performances. Their waving flags, smiling faces, and bright uniforms add excitement to both football and basketball games and make the mem¬ bers more recognizable. This extracurricular activ¬ ity provides the chance for new friendships as mem¬ bers meet people. Sponsor Mr. Koch, cap¬ tain Kathy Schroeder, and co-captain Wendy Abragan organize routines for this activity which requires both time and commitment from its hardworking members. Color guard of¬ fers students the opportu¬ nity to improve coordi¬ nation while building friendships. Accompanying the color guard and also Pom pon squad, the marching band adds enthusiastic spirit to half-time performances at football games, school as¬ semblies, parades, and con¬ certs. Band director, Mr. Koch, creates the many dif¬ ferent routines and coordi¬ nates them to perfection. In addition, Koch organ¬ izes the band’s participa¬ tion in competitions, con¬ ducts the band during per¬ formances, and selects the musical pieces to play. To perfect their routines, the marching band prac¬ tices long and tedious hours during their regular class periods, one night a week, and several times during the summer. The marching band has had much success throughout the year because of their many well-rehearsed and performed concerts. Being part of band or color guard leads to many new friendships as well as learning and enjoyment. Julie Justesen Jenny Lee At the annual Homecoming Parade the Nile West Marching Band takes part in the fun as they get organized before joining in the parade. The Marching Band includes the girls of Color Guard as well as the many members from Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Concert Band. Marching Band Color Guard The marching band performs dur¬ ing half time at a football game. The band traveled to Walt Disney World in Florida during Spring break. Performing brilliantly, the marching band proudly march down Lincoln Avenue. The march¬ ing band roused up fans and pro¬ moted school spirit during sporting events. After long hours of practice, color guard members Melissa Weiss and Leila Stein perform for the specta¬ tors of a football game. A color guard member shows off her skills as she twirls her flag at a basketball game. Color guard pro¬ vides the opportunity for students to develop coordination and strength. Marching Band Color Guard Trying to make a deal on a homemade cookie, seniors Paul Schramm and Jim Ciemney like the idea of a free sample.

With giant smiles and pom-pons in hand, twenty-two girls danced across the field during halftime. Rain or shine, the Pom Pon squad never failed to dazzle the crowd. Under the guidance of captains Jeannie Choi and Rachel Posner, the team made it through all the practices and halftime routines. To prepare for the season, the squad attended a Badgerettes camp at the Uni¬ versity of Wisconsin at Whitewater Spending four days there, in August, strengthened their abilities and taught them new skills. Treasurer Melissa Con¬ nell, remarked, Camp brings the team closer every summer, and a unified squad always works better together at practices and in the games.” Long practices in the summertime and meetings three times a week during the school year also contrib¬ uted to the squad’s success. New member Beth Lichtenstein commented, The prac¬ tices were long and hard, just as I had been warned. However, it was such an honor to be part of the squad that I would do it all over again.” Sophomore Cheerleaders- Front Row: Vicki Rappin, Susie Kim, Sandy Delgado, Robin Yu, Jean Joffe, Diana Chang, Angie Savvikis.

Hard work and dedication enable them to perform cheers with perfection. Spirit At The Sidelines Smiling, jumping, and shouting words of encour¬ agement, cheerleaders played a major role in the success of the school’s sports teams. Approxi¬ mately three times a week after school, freshman, sophomore, and varsity cheerleaders practiced to perfect their cheers, mounts, and stunts. After attending a five- day camp in the summer and ranking among the top twenty squads, cheer¬ leaders entertained at pep assemblies and sporting events. The varsity squad, led by captains Amy Cho and Lisa Schapira, per¬ formed for halftime at a DePaul University bas¬ ketball game. Throughout the year, cheerleaders put in time and effort to rouse the spirit of the Indians. According to sponsor Ka¬ ren Young, “We were very lucky to have so many hard-working girls with terrific attitudes to repre¬ sent our school.” From class cheering contests in the gym to first and sec¬ ond place awards at camp, the girls succeeded in get¬ ting the crowds on their feet to cheer their teams on to victory.

When yearbook workers run out of their provisions, they often order more immediately. Senior Hi¬ lary Kaden has to make an emergen¬ cy phone call to the supplier for more film. Coping With Those Dreaded Deadlines Layout sheets?? We have none! Can someone get a photographer by 3:00?? What do you mean we have no pictures?? Where did all our croppers disappear to?? Our deadline is, .. TOMORROW!! Restless editors, staff members, and photographers rambled about at all hours of the day working towards one laborious goal — the completion of the 1988-89 Spectrum! Due to the early departure of the senior class, deadlines had to be met promptly so that the book would be re¬ leased before May 30. Advisers Jerome Orr and Linda Horwitz took on various responsibilities such as proof reading countless stories, meeting with Jostens re¬ presentatives, and mailing finished lay¬ outs on time. Once again, the staff consisted of two classes. Brainstorming brought together the diverse, yet creative ideas of both groups. Putting these ideas into use through various stories, layout designs, and artwork resulted in the success and quality of “Doing It All”. Upon completing the final deadline in February, copy sheets, croppers, job num¬ ber stickers, and film became remnants of a hectic 6 months of work. Estelle Nikolakakis Yearbook Concetrating intensely on her story, sophomore Debbie Kang looks to adviser Jerome Orr for ad¬ vice. Yearbook staff members often seek help from each other and the sponsor to improve their stories. Working late one afternoon, co¬ sports editor Robyn Nadick finishes counting the words in a story. Diligently completing his story, senior Brian Hansen tries to think of a way to end his article. Members of the staff not only have to write good stories, but they also have to get them done on time so that the books arrive for seniors before graduation. Co-editors-in-chief, Estelle Nikolakakis and Parveen Najiullah, discuss new ideas for the yearbook. Each year original ideas are needed to make the book more interesting than the year before.
