BACK TO THE FUTURE HE YEAR . . . 1988 - a year in which living for the present was more important than that of the future. Both girls and guys alike were faced with the on going expectancy of having a date for the prom or even the weekend. Having the ltin style of clothes became a high priority, whether we would admit it or not, and being an ttindividualll became an identity that we all conformed to. The senior class anx- iously awaited graduation, yet most were teary-eyed when that eve- ning had actually arrived. Those who were in that class came to the immediate realization that their graduation should be a time in which we would live for the future and simply cherish the time of the present; During the Homecoming game Matt Davis, Rob Henschen, and Brad Troxel receive a new gaine plan. man i The NorthWood football team shows the true ttspiri 0f the Homecoming game, as a look of remorse covers their faces.

LIVING FOR THE PRESENT 1 9 8 8 e a time in which friendship and acceptence meant more than anything in our lives. All of the late night dances, t-ping escapades and mad rushes home to meet curfew, were simply tasks to prepare us for later in life. Dating, we found, better helped us in choosing our lifetime mates, and even the drama de- partment discovered that life too was not over until the final curtain was ttdrawnh. MW 05qu mm C T16! 85 g!

The order you put them in depends on what school you attend. The NorthWood and Goshen rivalry is one of undying friction. This conflict is probably best exemplified by the annual North- WoodTGoshen football game, which this year was won by Goshen. However, this spiritof competition is carried over into other sports as well as every day life at NWHS. This feeling is almost undoubtedly the same at Goshen High School. The NorthWoodTGoshen rivalry is one of the oldest traditions in this community. Matt Davis refreshes himself after a big play by drinking from a water bottle.

The way a person dresses can reveal many facets of that per- son. For example, if someone is a rebel, he will probably dress as one. Whereas if one is fashion- concious, he will dress TIN? At NorthWood the fashionable clothes for girls were mini skirts of varied length, cropped shirts in many different styles, sweaters, frosted jeans, sport boots, and brown oxford shoes. Sharing a Best Friend necklace with a friend was also popular. The styles for guys were about the same as usual, although more guys seemed to be wearing sweaters. Sweaters, frosted jeans, dress shirts, high tops, and cowboy boots were the TIN fashions for guys. People who found that they were not TIN need- ed not fret. It only meant that they were not social clones, but rather individuals who developed their own fashion trends. Erica Lloyd and Caroline, Smith Joe Reset, Dan Ramirez and Todd show their mini skirts.

The cast had to settle for an alter in their performance schedule due to the football teamts advancement in sectionals . . . again. JB, as the play was named, compares the Earth with a traveling circus, which sometimes is very similar. The play contained all the elements of a true classic horror movie: arguments between God and Satan, a daughter raped and murdered, and several children splattered across a highway; but the true moral of the play was that we can not explain human suffering until we experience our unworthiness in comparison to God. After practicing many nights in the North Surge due to travelogs and auditorium redecorations, the cast was more than happy to put on a single com- mand performance on Saturday the 14th of No- vember.

Dances took place in different areas of the school after football and basketball games. Dances gave students a place to be with their friends and a place to let loose and act crazy. Some found that the dances were boring. Steve Slabaugh felt a live band would make the dances better. Randy Hock thought that they needed some excitement, like dance contests. Students also com- plained that the Music Machine played the same songs at each dance, but did not play requests. The dances could use some improvement in the coming years; however, they were fun and gave students a chance to get out of the house.

It results in getting out of class to go to the au- ditorium and watch a presentation. It usually means listening to someone talk on any one of a number of subjects, like when Mr. J ohn Hiler presented a flag to the school in honor of the anniversary of the Constitution. It can mean watching a film on peer pressure and self concepts such as the presentation of ttShades by Campus Life. Whatever the topic, the student body gladly tiles into the auditorium to hunt for a seat. Along with convocations, assemblies also get us out of class. For example, on Veterans Day we went outside for a memorial service in which members of the Student Council raised the flag and the band played tlTaps in honor of all United States veterans. Whatever the occasion may be, students always look for- ward to convocations. Members of the Student Council raise Congressman John Hiler tells the student the flag in memory of American veterans. body the history of the US. Constitution. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CONVOCATIONS?

' The 1987-88 Dating Game Everyone does it, or do they? Terms of all kinds are used to describe dating. Going Steady, seeing eachother, a mutually restrictive relationship, or even purgetory are the terms used to describe dat- ing, a common ritual among high school students. Guys and girls have gone out on dates since they were old enough for their parents to allow them to go out alone. Many times guys were not sure if they should ask the girls out. Meanwhile, girls may have finally gotten the courage to call up the guys. Dis- pite the odds of nervousness, parents, and the ac- cess of a car, couples formed and the dating process began. At school, couples may share lockers, study together, or take the same classes a just to be together. Dating is something that everyone goes through tor wants toy in their lives.

PARADE OF SENIORS Bright and early Thursday morning, May 19, the Seniors gathered at Nappanee Middle School to line up for the annual Senior Parade. Some people thought 7:00 AM. was a little too early to round up their sleepy bodies, but most of the seniors were there in plenty of time to have a little fun before the real thing. Convertibles, motorcycles, bicycles, and ATVs were just some of the neat vehicles in the parade. Several dune buggies graced the parade with their presence, and Curt Sisco received a rath- er tilowii view of the festivities - from a wagon. Even the Skynardis delivery car, driven by John Duesler, was in the parade. Some Seniors threw candy while others got wet from water balloons.

After the diplomats were handed out, the recessional was played and they filed out of the gymnasium.

A search of the school was conducted . . . nothing. The school was evacuated and classes were held on the football bleachers until it was decided that the call was a hoax, and students were returned to the school. - Overall, the threat was a big smash with the students, as some even proposed making it an annual event. Administration and faculty, however, realized the possible dan- ger of such a situation could not be ignored.

Raising Arizona Reflecting on Summer Although the summer of 1987 was hotter than usual, with temperatures nearing 95-100 degrees every day, the activities were much the same as in other years. People most often mentioned going to the Dunes. They could swim, lie in the sun, or hang out with their friends. There was also a consession stand where people could buy food or pop to satisfy their hunger pangs. They also frequented the malls and teen night clubs like Greg Allen's Off The Strip. The fair and friendls hous- es were popular places kids went. 01 METZLERiS 7m fig; THE STORE NaExT 900x, usually hang out at my unclels cottage in Michigan with my friends? Michelle Weldy added.

This was the 25th anniversary of the Wa-Nee Community School system. It was important to recongnize the students, the faculty, and administrators of both the past and present. Our past was the foundation for our future. The education at NorthWood was more progressive than ever before. The faculty of our time brought youthful energy and creative innovation. This new and youthful spirit ignited the enthusiasm of our faculty as well as our students. NorthWoodts advanced educational system had the students learning everything from Mr. Allents Composition to Mr. Zercherts Biology. The high percentage of growth in our educational facilities also advanced the monitary value of a NorthWood education. Being a high school student required many long hours of homework. Study Hall was always one time where we could get things done, as Fred Suter takes advantage of this moment to study. W1 ; t W - th Why did you become an administrator? tTve always enjoyed positions that are challenging. I enjoy working with teachers and I like our kids. My exposure and impact as a shop teacher were limited, and as an administrator I could have more impact. I want to stay in the community and I wanted NorthWood to be a place I would feel proud to send my kids? ilThe money, prestige, and power? he said facetiously. Maker S of Decisions The administration had to decide what to do with the limited space of the corpora- tion and the overflow of stu- dents. Having several options from which to choose, they spent much time deciding what should be done. None of these changes will immedi- ately affect the high school. 50 Bonacorsi and Mr. Coffirri were always busy d0- ing something. Both princi- pals spent time in classrooms evaluating teachers and talk- ing to students. Mr. Bonacorsi could be seen run- ning a pep session with stu- dent assistants, while Mr. Coffin was often busy giving needed discipline. The school board had to face many decisions. These included the raising of sala- ries for substitute teachers and the addition of several special services contracts. They also filled out an ap- plication for a state loan, to be used for computers and re- lated equipment, and listened to reports from different de- partments of the corporation showing how students were progressing in their studies. The administration worked together to make the corpo- ration run smoothly. g. inn : A m1 Principal Louis Bonacorsi and Vice Principal Rick Coffin talk about the days events.

Another popular answer was athletic events or being Y an actual athlete. There were still an amazing number of other places that the teachers went. Many frequented root- beer stands, bowling alleys, drug stores soda fountains, ice cream parlors, truck stops, and a variety of restaurants. Some of the more creative responses must be listed seperately. One such teacher tMr. Carteri enjoyed iihanging-out anywhere 11 Time there were girls. Another teacher tMr. Weaveri insists he iihung-out in the princi- palis office. Mr. Cole was al- ways in the itband room . All in all this turned out to be an extremely interesting question to ask the NorthWood teaching staff. Hopefully this gave teachers a chance to look back in time and allow students a closer look at their teachers. Mr. Ron Fields and Mr. Bob Cross look up from their work for the picture.

All of the teachers at NorthWood were asked the question ttWhy did you be- come a teacher? Quite a few interesting answers were re- ceived. A number of the teachers became teachers because they like people or kids and want- 56 Why Teach? ed to work with them. An- other popular answer was that they wanted to continue going to school, learning more about their subjects, or pur- suing their hobbies. Some were inspired by their teach- ers 0r coaches, or had parents that were teachers. Others became teachers be- cause they liked the challenge of teaching. A couple of the teachers decided on their pro- fession because of the uhigh salary? A few cannot remem- ber why, do not know why, or were looking for a job. There were creative an- swers given. Mr. Zercher be- came a teacher because teaching gave a nonathlete a way to stay involved in some form of athletics. Mrs. Huberis parents believed that teaching was as honorable profession for a woman, so she became a teacher. Miss McGary, like Mrs. Yoder, al- '. ways wanted to be a teacher. She used to set her dolls at desks and give them pages from her old workbooks. If you have ever asked yourself why anyone would want to become a teacher. now you know. muwww Mrs. Greenlee chuckles at the thought of getting her picture taken. Mr. Kams mugs for the camera.

It was like a bad dream, but it seemed so real. Every senior in our class had to take government and eco- nomics. They flowed along Mr. Olsen looks questioningly at Mark Meissner. with there usual white water rapids and pitfalls as expe- rienced by past seniors. The only other required courses to complete were two semesters of English, unless of course, you were one of the over or under-achievers that either got them out of the way back in 86-87 or didnlt have 6 credits when you started as a senior. Oh well, the Freddie Kruggerll that we all called school has been killed and buried in hallowed ground. With our well earned diplo- mas in hand, we can finally forget him. Or will he return?!?!

P David Pitney III think we should be allowed to take any courses we feel like taking as long as they are along the same subject? - Connie Schrock uDue t0 the Misanthropic nature of the subject, I feel it would behoove the human species to annihilate the subject. e Kent Wenger tIYes, I think they're necessary, I guess, I donlt know, . . .

There are many different species of the Senior, such species include the tLoafus continuousl which refuses to do anything to improve itself, the tStudious rexl which will stop at nothing to improve itself, and the tProcrastinus puttusoffisl which would like to improve itself, but just cant seem to find the time. Most Seniors, however, fall into the tContageous seni- oritisl nomenclature, from which the Senior has been named. This is the type that would like to improve itself, tries, and succeeds for a while, but when the pressure of time is applied, it often will lose complete interest. It can choose a wide variety of electives to enlighten itself. Such electives may include foreign language, physical ed- ucation, math, home econom- ics, shop, different types of literature or history. Whatever electives that the Senior chooses to try and conquer, makes no difference. After the senior goes through a peculiar ceremony called a commencement, they all be- come either atCerebrus fade- ousl or a tCraneous ac- celerousl.

Doug Berger Do you think the required courses are necessary? Why? uI think to some extent except for Geometry and History. If you know you are going to do something artistic the rest of your life, these classes are totally opposite? ttYes, because if you realize it or not you will probably use everything youlve learned especially if youire going to college, and the more education you get the better off your future is. Yes I do. uNo, because some of the things just arenlt necessary ttYes, I feel you can never take too much. Some people just may not see how some courses will help them benefit in the long run? But I don,t want to take U.S. Historylil This was a phrase often heard coming from many Juniors, but to their disappointment they were told it was required for graduation. Also a question commonly asked was, llBut whyiw Most Juniors didnt think that US. History was a necessity for life. But no mat- ter how much they fussed and complained, it was still a re- 62 It is required . . . quired course. It was not specified which English classes must be tak- en. Most Juniors were found taking Expository Writing, Advanced Composition, Journalism, or one of the many other English classes offered. Anything to get in those credits needed to grad- uate. Many Juniors took advan- tage of only having two re- quired courses and took ei- ther other classes needed or electives. Many Juniors could be found taking Algebra 11, Earth Science or chemistry, and let,s not forget all those electives to choose from. No matter how much Jun- iors were heard complaining about their classes, most had to admit that they would come in handy sooner or later in their lives. Several stu- dents also thought that one could never get too much of an education. ltYoulll proba- bly use everything you learn sometime in your life, espe- cially if you,re going to col- ,, lege, commented Shanda Fritz. With this in mind, the Juniors pressed on to survive their classes and acquire the knowledge they would need in later life.

If they cant find something they like, oh well. X. a Y. 3' What to do With all that spare time Because they only have two classes that are required of them, Juniors have the op- portunity to take what are commonly known as llelectivesf7 These are classes which are not required, but are offered to the students to either help them learn about things in which they are in- terested, or just to give them 64 a class that they get credit for instead of just taking a study hall. NorthWood offers many such courses such as General Business, typing, electronics, computers, art, and account- ing just to name a few. Many students chose to take elec- tives which they believed would help prepare them for their future careers. Many J uniors could be found taking everything from jewelry to ac- counting, and anything in be- tween. Besides just having time for more electives, Juniors al- so had more time to partic- ipate in other things like sports and publications. Also, many Juniors could be found doing other things they enjoy like working tyes, some peo- ple like itJ or taking part in clubs or organizations. On the whole, J uniors were known for taking part in things and filling up all that extra time they had. Drenda Cutchin demonstrates that not all art is done on canvas or paper.

MW Do you feel your required courses are necessary? Some yes, others no. I feel that four years of English is a little much? - Heath Fervida ttI think that English is necessary but not everyone wants to be a Biologist. .. Michelle Stemen Even though some of my required classes are not my first choices, I do feel that they are required for a reason. We should try our hardest to see what those classes will do for our future? - Lana Hartman ttYes. If we expect to get anywhere in life we can not just sit on our butts and just cruise thru high school. With so many advancements to be made you have got to bust your butt just to keep 112p with everyone else. - Gary auffman ttYes. If they were not required too many people would breeze thru high school without hardly any education and then get into the real world and end up with nothing. Also, they help you get into a college when you are not sure what classes are required to enter a college? - Curvin Martin I , o , mam, F ROM FROGS TO NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE Eek! Are you sure this frog is dead? This is an often asked question by Sopho- more biology students. All students must take ba- sic or regular biology the summer before or during their Sophomore year. In bi- ology, many animals are dis- sected, including frogs, 66 worms, crawdads, and fish. Book work is also done. Basically the same events happen in summer biology, except students go on field trips and skip semester ex- ams. Sophomores must also be in required English classes. They must take either college prep or general English and American literature. English is basically learn- ing grammar and how to write formal papers. Ameri- can Literature is basically the study of American literature and authors. Students enjoy reading The Scarlet Letter and H uckleberry Finn . Soph- omores also get their first taste of writing book reports on books they choose to read. Although Sophomores have to take biology which they may or may not enjoy, they also get to take English courses that are close to those taken by Juniors and Seniors. Amy Burns sneers at fellow class- mate who is hard at work on a bi- ology lab. Tracy Rohrer works intently on her English assignment. Sophmores take a test in biology. Angela Swanson works on an assign- ment in Mr. Gerbefs Algebra I class. mum What Is Your Favorite Elective Course And Why? Sex education, only because I can not think of a better answer? - Doug Pierce liGer-man - the teacher is easy to get along with and I like him? - Derek Guard tGeneral Business - it helps prepare you for when you are on your own. Plus Mr. Snider's craziness makes the class more interesting and fun to learn? .. Tracy Troyer I like ceramics. I like it because you get to make something creative with your hands and mind. You can also work at your own 5 ed and listen to music. a Angela wanson liCeramics-I like this class because it is relaxing and I get to work at my own pace. There is no pressure to hurry on anythin . I can also listen to the radio. - Heat er Miller Most Sophomores seem to enjoy their elective courses more than their required courses. They get to choose them from a lengthy list of classes, whereas, they can not choose their required courses. They have no choice. Sophomore students may 68 take business courses such as typing and general business. They may also take a foreign language, either Spanish or German. Algebra, geometry, and other math courses are more options. A student may take a computer math class to learn about computers. Sev- eral other sciences, besides biology, are offerred. Sopho- mores may enjoy taking psy- chology or sociology. Also available is world history, giv- ing them a little background for American history. Soph- omores can take a variety of art classes, choir, band, ag- BEYON D DRIVERS LICENSE 1 riculture, or industrial arts. Besides getting their driv- ers liscenses their Sophomore year, Sophomores receive a i larger variety of courses from which to chose. WWWWWWNWMW Sophomores enjoy a break in general business.

Yes, I think theylre easy enough anyway, that everyone should be able to pass them without too much trouble. - Riley Snook Yes, I think so, because if they are required for Freshmen, they are also important for the education that high school students need. - Nuria Lasheras I see no reason why they shouldnt be. Theytre not unfairly difficult or anything. Although, I do think that if we have to take a full year of physical education it should be worth two credits, not one, just like any other class. - Jamie Prenkert Yes. Everybody may not like them, but most students are going to come out of the classes with something useful in their future lives. What would a diploma mean if students didnt even know basic material? -- Andrea Stoller Math, English, p.e., and geography 8c careers should all be required because they are all classes that will help you when you graduate from high school. Health 8: safety should be an elective because it is a course you either are interested in or not. - Brook Germann THE COURSES ALL FRESHMEN MUST TAKE When a freshman enters NWHS, he learns that some classes are required to grad- uate from high school. Itis not just fun and games! Four classes are required for Freshmen, and the class everyone learns to love is physical education. In p.e., which is co-ed, they play bas- 70 ketball, flag football, softball, and tennis. They also learn to square dance and swim, if they do not already know how. In the spring they spend several weeks on the track and find their strong points in that area. P.E., however, is only one credit. Another required class is English. Every high school student is required to take four years beginning with his Freshman year. The last two classes are one semester each. In health and safety students learn the muscles of the body, and study sex education. In cit- izenship and careers, stu- dentstare taught parts of gov- ernment, and they must also complete a careers project. Although these classes may not always be interesting or fun, they must be completed to graduate from high school. A class all Freshmen are required to take is Health and Safety. It is taught by Mr. Andrews and Mr. Dodson. Freshmen girls have a swimming day in PE. Freshmen boys play basketball in Nuria Lasheras, Stacy Cleveland, PE. and Brent Green listen as Miss Mc- Gary gives an English assignment. WEE. I Should more electives be offered to freshmen? No, because most of the elective classes are set up for older students. - Lee Moore h I feel enough is offered for college-bound students, but maybe more should be of- fered for other students. - Mandy My- ers Ninth and tenth graders should be able to take Substance Abuse to know the effects of alcohol and drugs. P.E. should not be required because of some of the possible injuries. e Sean Mahon Yes, and there should be a wider se- lection, too. It seems like the electives are basically in the area of art. Fashion, more classes dealing with children, and another foreign language lFrenchl would be classes I would like to see at NW. e Stacy Cleveland Yes, because it seems that all Freshmen take the same courses. I think Freshmen should be allowed to have three electives plus a study hall. They could take a year of foreign language, art 01' music, and beginning typing. e Stacie Yoder CHOICES Freshmen are allowed to take three elective courses along with one study hall. Freshmen may take Begin- ning Typing, German, Span- ish, two home-ec classes, sev- eral industrial art classes, a math class, art, agriculture, or choir. 72 People passing the typing class have been known to hear music as the members of the class type to the beat of popular songs. In the Home- Ec classes, members learn about making relationships work. They also study peer pressure and other problems students may have. The Ger- man and Spanish classes learn the respective vocabu- lary and work in the lab. There is a Freshmen girls choir that have programs and go to contests. The art work done by members of the art class are displayed in the Art Contest. Freshman start out with the basic electives but that is to be expected. They find out what they like and do not like and what they want to go into in the coming years. They must start out somewhere.

The purpose in having Swap Day was for parents to meet teachers and see what their teenagerts class- es were like. This year, after the actual Swap Day ended, parents got to meet with teachers to discuss the stu- dents progress. Parents could stay for a salad bar lunch at the school if they wanted. Parents received the students report cards for the first nine weeks. The students had mixed feelings about this. Most, like senior Jennifer Anderews, felt that it was alright for parents to get their report cards because utheytll find out your grades sooner or later anyway? Other students, like jun- ior Eric Allen, made sure no one would get his report card by having an overdue book in the library. While parents had the chance to see what their student really did in school, it was obvious that they received the ttred carpet treat- ment ; they even got cookies and punch during study halls.

Market N appanee, IN 773-2458 Jodi BeMiller at work The Real World Some say high school isnlt at all like the tireal world? What is it then? Make-Believe? They say that all teenagers care about is school and grades. Well, thatls not necessarily so. Teens get jobs too. Students get jobs for many dif- ferent reasons. Some people work to earn money for things such as car accessories, clothes, stereos, etc. Some just want to have spend- ing money. Then there are others still who have higher goals in mind, such as a college tuition, buying a car, or saving for their own apart- ment. The types if jobs held by teens vary greatly. They range from de- partment store clerks t0 dishwash- ers, cooks to factory workers, and the list goes on. The most common type of job to teens is working in a fast food place such as McDonalds or our own Cook's. Some students get jobs that they believe will help prepare them for their future careers. For example, people who may want to someday start their own business, may want to get a job as a file clerk or office helper to learn what it takes to run a business. However, in most cases, the jobs teens apply for now, have nothing to do with their future plans. Theylre just jobs that pay for gas, dates, lunch, or maybe that stereo youlve been waiting to buy. So, contrary to popular belief, teens do have some idea how to handle the 2real world? High school is not make-believe. And to all those people that thought teenagers didnlt care about any- thing but school and grades - Welcome to the real world. Nappanee Auto Sales 1206 E.

These de- scriptive words came from various diction- aries. Some simply said tta little twerp that is always underfoot. Others replied uthose small groups that are lost the majority of their Freshman year? It had seemingly been a tradition by any member of the upper classes to try to confuse, embarrass dishearten, perplex, and frustrate the freshmen. A common quote from seniors to Freshmen has been, ttGo down the ninth hall to room 101, turn left, pay $2.00 for an elevator pass and then wait for your chance to dash for the elevator to be empty of Seniors? Poor Freshmen . . . or are they? The class of 1991 retained over 200 Freshmen. This meant that the school had to make room for them. In August, the Seniors were surprised to find the empy locker space which was to either side of them filled with nothing less than FRESH- MEN! Upperclassmen figured that the daily risk of having delt with our Seniors would have scared them off, however, they were wrong. Somehow . . . they all survived even after the many battles with their locker com- binations and getting to classes in time.

Taking more classes to fill graduation requirements, twhich meant more homework and testsL buying class rings, getting driverts licenses, going to different sports activities, and best of all, RE- VENGE! Finally, the sophomores felt just a little bit superior. Finally they could torture the freshmen the way they were tortured the year before. Budging in front of them in the lunch line, putting them down and ignoring them. Oh what fun.! For many sophomores it meant a year of change. It was the year you could play on junior varsity teams instead of being isolated to a team made up of only freshmen, or IF you were good enough, you could play on varsity. Also, the sophomore year brings about a feel- ing of security and a feeling of being in the middle of everything. The sophomore has been around for a year already, so he knows the majority of the people hets dealing with and how to find his way around and give directions to the freshmen, ttRoom 811? Yeah, you go up here and take a right, go down the first flight of stairs and make a left; you cant miss itV What joy in seeing a gullible fresh- man thank you and hurry off to find the stairs tHa! HaD Yes, the sophomore year brings about many new experiences and feelings. Things that will be remembered for many years to come. Like seeing that freshman again! ttWhere are the stairs?

Among the characters are the Mighelliihidvgig words foolish, stupid, feebleminded, and men- mm a u es tally defective. The word SOPHMORE orignates from the Greek words SOPHOS, which means wise, and MOROS, which means foolish. The definition of the word sophomore Kevin Mahin is conceited and over confident of knowl- C me Marsh . . urvm Martln edge,but poorly Informed and 1mmature. Sophomores are known for making mis- takes and quite often being wrong. When this happens, there is almost always a junior or Senior there to yell, Typical sophomore!

ATHLETES OF TODAY ANTHER PRIDE . . . was the heart and soul of the NorthWood athletic teams during the 87-88 season. Although many of our teams were in the process of rebuilding, their iinever-say-die8 attitude brought a spirit and enthusiasm that lasted throughout the year. Many of our teams were picked as the underdogs as their seasons began, yet emerged a strong contender as the year progressed. Hard work from our coaches and athletes, made the most out of the talents we had, resulting in a very successful year. Long after our letterjackets have been put away and our awards have become tarnished, the athletes of 1988 will look back, realizing the rewarding experience of the athletic endevor.

It is played using ba- sically the same prin- ciple, only the pitch is thrown underhanded not overhanded, and the ball is a little big- ger. Softball is typi- cally known as the girls version of base- ballti because girls more than any other group of people play it. The reason for this seems to be that girls in most cases have a harder time throwing overhanded and catching a smaller ball, but dont let that kid you into believing that its a nsissy sport? As most schools, NorthWood sponsored a girls softball team again this M.V.P. - Christy Wesolek year. The year got off to a shakey start, but with a lot of hard work, effort, determi- nation, and coopera- tion it improved and the girls more than doubled their winning record from last year. Although softball doesnit get the high recognition that base- ball gets, its still one of the nations more popular pastimes. More and more people are getting involved, and finding out that you dont have to be a Babe Ruth to play and have fun, and all it takes is a little hard work and determina- tion to turn even what seemed to be hopeless into something better and worthwile.

But persuasive proof remained frustratingly elusive. Ronald Reagan,s threat of retalia- tion against any terrorists found with American blood on their hands carried a hol- low ring on the all-too- frequent occasions when no evidence could be produced. Things changed, however, with a carefully coordinated military operation which swiftly altered the image of U.S. helplessness. The incriminating evi- dence of Iranis lawlessness consisted of nine mines off the deck of the vessel tilran Airii. The Iranian navy land- ing craft was seized off Bah- rain after a surprise attack by two U.S. helicopters which left five Iranian sailors dead and 26 others captive. t- Photo courtesy of Associated Press and excerts from TIMEiOctober 5, 1987i YrizWI-W ? s 4 The Immortal Disease AIDS - Acquired Immune De- ficiency Syndrome reached a no- ticeable 45,000 reported cases throughout the U.S. alone. Pres- ident Reagan designated a special committee of experts to take on the subject of AIDS. Shortly thereaf- ter, Congress passed a law making it illegal to discriminate against any persons infected with this lldisease? Following the ruling, mixed re- actions arose throughout the coun- try. Those with AIDS viewed it as a victory against bigotry - and con- servatives saw it as a hinderance to all previous progression made in controlling the virus. Itls unknown exactly how AIDS reached America. Most however, figure it was carried by Haitian im- migrants who contracted the dis- ease from Cubans or Central Afri- cans. It was 1981 when a Dr. Wayne Sandera, of UCLA, com- pared notes to discover that AIDS had reached the U.S.. No cure has been discovered as of yet, a horrifying thought con- sidering the fact that an estimated four million Americans are carriers of AIDS and only 1070 of them are aware of it. To make matters all the more discouraging, Dr. Harvey Fineberg, of Harvard University, predicts that of the 24 million U.S. citizens, in 1987, 240,000 will die of AIDS within the next ten to fifteen years. t e Photo courtesy of Associated Press and excerts from AIDS: THE SILENT KILL- ER and TIMEl 1 GD l ' 9 ME RSMAN WEEK 10131133 Wakarusa.

Bork was considered to have been 2the most controversial nominee for a judicial position ever? Both sides were led by power fig- ures of both the House and Senate. Opposition was directed by Senator Ted Kennedy and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Joseph Biden. Their goal was to show that Bork was a 2rightawing radicaltt whose opinions and writings revealed an interpretation of the Constitution . . . so constrictive as to threaten basic social rights. Bork,s support was led by President Ronald Reagan who said that the judge ttshares my view7 of the proper role of the court.

THE YEAR OF ACTIVITIES. NorthWoodis many clubs and organizations captivated the interest of both the student body and the faculty. Many of the club meetings were held during Activity Period as well as after school. This gave clubs more exposure and created a larger involvement among the students. Through this students were given the opportunity to find themselves and seek out their own self-interests. As a result, many lasting friendships were formed on the basis of these common activities. Our clubs offer assorted opportunities for a varity of people: Sherrie Yoder, Dina Stickle, Carol Schmucker, and Randy Eash.

The tasks of getting copy written, pictures taken, quotes from students, and other things needed to meet deadlines was not easy. At times it was necessary for members to stay after school, even pull all- nighters to complete work needed to meet a deadline. When asked about the work required, one member answered, hltts a lot of work and stress, but in the end, itts worth itV Junior Eric Allen works on a layout for an upcoming deadline.

The school newspaper, distributed once a month, was unlike most schools. It was composed of stories written by various students wanting to tell the school about different events. The students wrote not only about things going on in our school, but also about things happening in the community around us. Since articles were written by any students wishing to con- tribute, the sole member on the staff was Paul Pearson, who typed and printed the paper for his deadline once a month. Typesetter Paul Pearson types in copy for the newspaper. ttTo council or not to council, that is the ques- tion? This year the Student Council answered that with a resounding YES! They organized Penny Drives and sponsored dances. They put up new seating in the South Surge and served break- fast to new students. Another area in which the Student Council was active was in the region of swapping members with those of other nearby schools. This year they swapped with students from Wawasee and Northridge, allowing all to gain a better under- standing how students of other schools spend their days and govern their schools.

Groups went out and spoke to junior high stu- dents telling the dangers of drinkingtdriving - hoping that this issue will be alleviated before it ever becomes a real problem. Fellow Junior Monica Ramer stated, ttWetre trying to start at a younger age e stressing how bad it is to drink and drive?

They participated in warm-ups to get things going. If the cast of the coming production needed practice, they practiced. Then they proceeded to doing impro- visations and playing word games. One of these games consisted of sitting in a circle and telling a story. The rules were that everyone said one word, they could not repeat a previous word or say AND, and they had to keep up the pace or they were out of the game.

One common memory was when gypsies tiattackedi, Mrs. Huber, their adviser, in Madrid. Dawn Stutzman enjoyed riding camels in Tangiers, Africa. Meeting new people in an unknown place was something that they all enjoyed. Mrs. Huber started a club, in place of the Spanish Club, for foreign exchange students. It,s designed to help them adjust to the American way of life - problems with school, the language barrier, and missing their home countries.

For the past two years students have participated in Activity Period. Every other Thursday certain clubs meet for a U2 hour between second and third hours. If a person is not involved in any clubs, he is expected to sit in his homeroom and study. Activity Period is a time for students to get together during school hours instead of before or after school and allow students to develop social interests. Card Club members play euchre during Activity Period. Mr Coffin speaks to the Handicraft Club dunng Activity Period. Sheri Miller and Ty Fields do an improv in Drama Club.
