Remember the big hoola-hoop craze and all the anti-war peace movements - Well of course you don ' t because, That Was Then. I ' ll bet you ' ve never stopped to think that all of this went on right here at Norwell and right now we as students are making our own history, our own memories, and our own, That Was Then.

Remember those lovely leisure suits and platform shoes, or would you rather forget the fashions ot the 70 ' s along with Evel Knievel? Remember the days the music teacher showed the class how to do the hustle and everyone just loved it? Yuck!?! 1987. The more the blue jeans are ripped and faded, the better. Bows, inspired by the newly titled Duchess of York, are in and they seem to be popping up on every girl ' s head. The best way to finish off an outfit is with Reebok hightops or a pair of colored flats. Top 40 radio stations are very popular. If you are lucky enough, you can hear the number one song three times, in just one hour. Amazing! Many students like to listen to the metal sound while others choose to listen to alternative music. What better way to listen to the new music than on a compact disc player. Digital sound is now, wow! Now is 1987, but as soon as the year changes, 1987 will just be another memory, a page in a scrap- book. Welcome to tomorrow, the future, and yesterday, the memory. Questions.

OPENING High school is a time for finding out about yourself. It is also a time for hit- ting the books. But the times students remember most are those spent with friends participating in extra activities, clubs, and sports. Some of these are sponsored by the school, while others take place in a community or church group. These are the times when students can be themselves and learn what other people are really like. They make high school a very special period of four years that is never repeated or duplicated, but is always remembered. Even the bad times are recalled with a smile, for high school is not a building at all. It is a wealth of memories.

STUDENT LIFE Nisihts €f Endless rnifihts The Knights lost their Homecoming foot- ball game to Heritage 13 to 12 in overtime, but that didn ' t dampen the Homecoming spirit at the dance which followed. People who attended the dance were charged a two dollar admission fee by Student Council, which sponsored the dance. Captain Chris from WMEE provided the evening ' s music which started the Homecoming Dance. Last year ' s King and Queen, Andy Binidey and Amy Frauhiger, were present for the 1987 festivities. This year ' s Queen nominees were Becky Babcock, Kelli Ratcliffe, Sharice Sliger, Judy Smith, Sara Spann, Diana Starr, and Stephanie Wood- ward. The King nominees were Erik Daf- forn, Marc Gavilanez, Ronnie Macklin, Tony Mills, and Jeff Reed. The King and Queen, chosen by the study body, were Marc Gavilanez and Becky Babcock. The Knights ' dance ended with the hit song, Let ' s Go Crazy by Prince. Royal Couple — King Marc Gavilanez and Queen Becky Babcock dance while the student body looks on.

This is a rime of lass competition of the wall, float, and Junior )lympics as well as one of the many climaxes of chool spirit and pride. Due to mother nature ' s ad timing, the bonfire and the Junior Olym- ics were canceled. The week started off with College Day. tudents were encouraged by their class lembers to wear clothing with a name of a col- lege on it. Tuesday was 50 ' s Day, a day to raid mom and dad ' s closet. Career day was held on Wednesday, when students wore anything from business suits to Firemen ' s uniforms to Toothfairy attire. Thursday was Color Day with Seniors in red, Juniors in yellow. Sophomores in green, and Freshmen in orange. The final day of Homecoming week was Out of Style Day, with students and faculty members wearing their tackiest clothes. Homecoming should be a time of school spirit. This year the administration decided that there was too much class competition and not enough school spirit. Tliis decision was made at the end ot the week when members of a certain class tried to destroy other classes ' floats and walls. Because of this the class walls, floats, and dress up days were not judged. All in all, the student body had fun at 1987 ' s Homecoming. Styleless — Amy Bakt-r.

The fads in 1969 were mini skirts, cat eye glasses, and patent leather shoes. The fad in the early 70 ' s was the disco, which now, in 1987, has led to hard rock and roll. The fads change over the years from cat eye glasses to contacts, from patent leather shoes to high heeled pumps, and from Izod sweaters to Forenzas. After 20 years, the environment of society and of the Northern Wells Community Schools has changed along with the fads. Despite all these changes, learning is still in.

The meetings on Tuesday mornings in the :hool cafeteria are for student leaders in Cam- us Life. During these meetings, the leaders iscuss up-coming events and things they plan ) do that night. The Tuesday night meetings egin with announcements of up-coming k ' ents, and then crowd breakers which are used ) get people going. On some Tuesday nights students from Norwell get together with students from other schools and have what is called a Super Club. There are many fun-filled events sponsored by Campus Life, including the Burger Bash, S.P.U.G., a trip to Florida during Spring Break, and a Great Getaway trip. The Great Getaway trip is a trip to Chicago for the weekend, to getaway. Ron Goetz, the new Campus Life Club Director, has many open and candid discussions on Tuesday nights. Exciting topics urge students to venViif u no ttenainrormative meetings which are crucial to a student ' s sur- vival in high school. Topics include marriage, divorce, death, and friendship. Campus Life is open to anyone and everyone. It doesn ' t matter how you feel about certain subjects. Each person ' s opinion is treated with respect. Campus Life is known in general as an outspoken organization that is inteUectUixUy run by humorous young adults. This is how one student explained Campus Life.

On the job your patience, physical endurance, and smile ate put to the maximum test. After a long day of school and only a few hours of sleep many students get in their cars and head for work. Some head for the famous McDonalds to fry those McD.L.T. ' s and serve them to the hungry customers. Served with a big smile of course. Some head for Pizza Hut to indulge themselves in making pizza dough and smothering it in cheese.

Many go and test their physical endurance working on the farm or at a local construaion site. Hammering nails or sloppin ' the pigs seem to be the most popular of them all.

STUDENT LIFE 17 I cle €f lienor The Drama Club, under che watchful eye of Director Ken Low, had its best year ever while producing a fall play, a series of one-acts, and the musical Grease. Drama Club participa- tion was good, and most students were pleased with their experiences. In the fall, the Drama Club presented Rum- bo, a spoof of the hit film Rambo. This two-act play brought over thirty people together for two months to work toward a single goal. When October arrived, every minute of preparation paid off as the general public was treated to a two-night showing. The winter one-acts was a series of short plays chosen, cast, and directed completely by students. Dena Johnson, Shawna Schocke, Kim Simerman, and Dan Thiele served as the stu- dent directors. The shows they selected were: I Must Be Somebody, It Says So In My Horoscope (Johnson), The Legend of Raikes Cross (Schocke), Kiss Me Quick, I ' m Double Parked (Simerman), and Beyond the Door (Thiele). At the conclusion of the one-acts, Mr. Low hosted an awards ceremony. The awards and their winners were: Best Newcomer — Stacie Boone ( Beyond the Door ), Best Sup- porting Actress — Tommie Tracey ( Beyond the Door ), Best Supporting Actor — Jeff Simerman ( 1 Must Be Somebody, It Says So In My Horoscope ), Best Actress — Rachelle Woods ( Kiss Me Quick, I ' m Double Parked ), Best Actor — Chris Brown ( Beyond the Door ), Best Director — Kim Simerman ( Kiss Me Quick, I ' m Double Parked ). With spring came the usual warm air and the renewal of romance for most people this year, but for Drama Club members it also meant a new challenge: the musical Grease. For Grease, Mr. Low enlisted the help of a lull production staff Mrs. Sue Coolman and Mrs. Becky Lambert managed the music and choreography, and Tim Roberts and Jeff Simer- man ran the technical aspects of the show. Low directed all acting, as he had for much of the year. Grease brought out the best in the drama members. It also was a great setting for practical jokes. Mike Tomlin found a foreign substance on his shorts one day at practice. Then, during dress rehearsal, several cast members discovered worms in their shoes. No one seemed to know exactly who was at fault. On opening night, however, it was business as usual. Everyone was ready to do a first class job, and that is exactly what the sell-out audience witnessed two nights in a row. At the close of the finale, directors and seniors were presented with flowers in appreciation of all their hard work. As cast members said their final farewells, underclassmen began to anticipate next year ' s shows, and graduating seniors could look back on many happy memories.

It ' s 2:40 Friday, school is officially out for the weekend! Students run to their cars and buses ready to escape from the horrors of homework and the pressures of deadlines. The big question occurs to each student, What am I going to do? A student can choose anything from just hanging around to going out on a hot date. Or he can just relax at home with his favorite T.V. show. There are many other things a teenager can do to have a good time. There always seems to be someone somewhere having a party. So go join your buddies and have some fun. Friday nights always seem to be full of school sports, too. In the fall there ' s football, in the winter there ' s basketball, wrestling, and swim- ming. Come spring there ' s track. Many teens try their luck at the bowling alleys. Some will score strikes all night long but others, well, they can ' t seem to get out of those gutters. Bluffton Pizza Hut is another Friday {xissibility. Many students will go blow their paychecks on thick, cheesy pizza. First of all, though, the girls drag their boyfriends all over the shopping malls looking for that perfect sweater. Then their appetites are large and they hit the pizza parlor. There are many other things a teenager can do to have a good time, and add creativity anythmg is possible. Escaping from the ptessures of the school week is the best part of the weekend. So on Fri- day night go out, relax, and have fun. Eric Hentz and Kevin Bushee are enjoying their Fridav night at a regular hang out, McDonald ' s.

Clubs are one thing practically all schools have in common. Through the many years Norwell has been in existence, clubs have always been there to bring people together and to join friends in fun activities. Many clubs have been around from the beginning such as: Sunshine Society, Hi-Y, Art Club, and Bowling Club while others such as swimming, Brass Impact, and Chess Clubs adjust to the new and changing Norwell. As time goes on many clubs will be added to Norwell ' s extra- curricular program but we will never forget the clubs that got us where we are now. 22 J CLUBS The Chess Club meets during homeroom to Four 1972 NorwelJ students show theit in- discuss theit sttategy, tetest tot bowlmg as they participate in the dub. i--w . CLUBS 23 SJUi S HIi E Helping Out This year the Norwell Sunshine Society pledged themselves to help others. In September, the student body and community elected Penny Queen. The proceeds from the fund raiser were used to send a child from the community to Camp Riley, a camp for handi- capped children. The Sunshine Society sponsored several fun- filled events. In December, the organization held its annual Christmas Dance, which was Tracy Yager and Racheile Woods are having fun at Sun- shine convention playing Rikkj-Tikki Bear. Julie Baker, Patti Girod, Rita Disbro, MicheUe Colbart, Mindi Ball, and Sheila Newnum are getting to know each other at the Get acquainted meeting. 24 open to all Norwell High School students. This year ' s motto was Others. Sunshine gave its members many chances to experience new challenges, make new friends, and learn more about themselves. They spread sunshine and good cheer wherever they went. By doing this, they brought happiness into their own lives. The Society did many things to make our school and community a better place through service for others. FFA Everybody ' s Leamiug for the Future This was the second year for the Norwell Home Ec Club sponsored by Mrs. Hamilton. Some of the activities that were on the agenda for the year included a meal at Pizza Hut, a visit from one of the employees of the Koala Center, and a taste of Oriental fried rice and Won Ton Soup, which was prepared by Hiroko Ohta, during a demonstration of traditional Japanese cookery. As a fundraiser for the Home Ec department, members of NHC sold cookbooks and kitchen items. FFA was busy this year. At the National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri, its members won several of the contests. Arriving back home, FFA members teamed up for basketball as they prepared forjudging Invita- tionals, the State Meat Judging Contest, and the Leadership and District Judging Contests. Then, in March, came the event of the year: the awards banquet. FFA — First Row; Tracy Bailey, Keith Fuhrman, Steve Mahnensmith, Tonya Nash, Marielle Witte, Tony Mills, Kim Mautz, A.J.

At Christnias they painted windows at Pizza Hut. In return for doing that they were treated to free pizza. A second activity they planned for themselves was painting the chairs in the Art room. Swim Club had a successful year. One of their successes was the annual corporation auction. When they decided to send a bid to the corporation, theirs was picked from hundreds of others. When their bid was picked, they conducted the sale by selling equipment from the cor- poration. They received 70% of the profits to raise money for the club. A second activity was the marathon swim. That ' s where the swimmers got pledges and swam as many laps as they could from 8:00 a.m.- 12:00 a.m. They used those profits to purchase a touch pad system. Both activities for the Swim Club proved to be very successful Scott Burke works to perfea his swii ling abilities.

German Club took a trip to Chicago where they visited the Museum of Natural History and the Water Tower Mall. In the spring they competed at a Foreign Language Festival against other students in events using the Ger- man Language. They also had a Christmas party and a Faschingstanz, which is similar to the Mardi Gras. The members of the French Club ate out at Le Gourmet in Fort Wayne. In December they ate Croissants, played French games, and sang carols in French at the annual Christmas Party. Spanish Club first elected their officers. They saw a Spanish fine arts production in Fort Wayne. They also ate out at a Mexican restaurant. Foreign Language Week was a new event at Norwell this year. There were several events, one of which was the poster contest. Others were the bake contest and the breakfast on Friday. Dur- ing the week, each day was designated to a ci tain language, and the students ate a lun originating from the host country. Altogeth ' the week was a big success and will be repeat next year.

Perspective, though, is the biggest word of all. Sports at the high school level are intended to give student athletes a chance to engage in healthy competition and to learn about themselves. Dedicated coaches teach fundamentals of a sport, but they also teach teamwork and sportsmanship. Athletes develop form and technique, and, at the same time, they develop character and class. Above all. Knights who engage in extra-curricular activities at- tempt to make positive reflections on Norwell High School. When they achieve these goals, winning becomes all the sweeter. And that ' s the way it should be. 4 O z PORT; This is Now! Gimmc a chair! Coach That was Then! Xct ' s talk, guys. Coach Lewis prowls the sidelines, ready to strike.

Football Breaks Even Early on the morning of August tenth, the parking lot slowly began to fill with tired, but dedicated members of the Norwell varsity foot- ball team. Their conditioning lasted throughout the month of August, right up to the jamboree on the rwenty-second. At the beginning of the year we knew we ' d have an inexperienced team, I just wanted to break even as far as the record was concerned, stated Coach Gary Scott. The Knights did just that and finished the regular season with a record of 4 and 4. The Knights started the year with two wins, one over Homestead, and another over Carroll. Their first loss was to Woodlan, but the following week they crushed Southern Wells by a score of 34-13. They then lost a heartbreaker to Bluffton by 1 point, and did the same Homecoming week to Heritage, by a score of 13-12. Norwell then split the last two games of the regular season with a big win over state-ranked Adams Central and a loss to Muncie North. The Knights began Sectional play on the 24th of October by traveling to Angola. The Norwell team won big by a score of 36-6. Norwell then hosted Plymouth the following week and stayed alive in Sectional play by win- ning a decision of 29-14. The Knights then traveled to Northwood to compete in the Sec- tional finals. The Knights lost to Northwood by a score of 7-13, in their final game of the season. They ended the season with an overall record of 6-5.

The Knights spent most of the early part of the season trying to find just the right player at the right position. Many hard-to-swallow losses in the first pan of the campaign paid off the lat- ter pan of the schedule as the gloves and the bats came together with almost perfect timing for the sectional. Juniors Jason Kessler and Ryan Milholland led the team in hitting although many other players contributed key hits and RBI ' s at crucial moments. Senior Eric Hentz had three homeruns on the season, two of those being grand slams. He also led the team in RBI ' s with 19, followed by Milholland with 17. Five players gained honorable mention in the ACAC. They were pitcher Jeff Hansen, infielders Jason Kessler and Jim ' Walmsley, and outfielders Ryan Milholland and Mark Netherland. In his fifth year as skipper. Reed and the rest of the Norwell Baseball team overcame more than their share of adversity. But when they took the field and concentrated on doing their collective best, they showed they had what it takes to be real winners.

Many students showed up not knowing what to expect. They took their chances, but it was very much worth it. Many parents of the students helped make everything turn out well. They helped with the games and the refreshments, which were all great. The games and events that took place were blackjack games, lucky cards, videos, dancing, movie watching, prizes, and an auaion. Each student was given a bundle of play money for the auction, students could play A Bluffton High School student, Julie Hanusin, and a Whitco High School student are waiting for the next card to be dealt. James Lepper, Etic Hoover, and Michelle Adkins take a break from dancing and eat during the post prom party games and increase their money by winning. When the auction began, students started spending their money on a variety of things. Bidders could purchase tanning bed visits, free shopping sprees at Southtown Mall, calculators, a small refrigerator, a typewriter, a VCR, a TV, a stereo, and Honda jackets. Before entering the gym, each student was given a pair of socks to wear and to take home in remembrance of the post prom party. Matt Huffman won a cer- tificate of fitness and power for having the sex- iest legs. When the night got late and everyone ran out of energy, many refreshments were served so everyone could pig out! After the students ate, they enjoyed the movie Top Gun, which was being shown on a video tape. Those who stayed at the all night after prom party spent the next day recovering and preparing themselves to go back to another day of school, but it was a night to remember. Students were asked if the after prom party was worthwhile, and many thought it was a good idea and would like to see it back again next year!

The graduating class of 1987 consisted of 161 students who were all more than ready to graduate. After the seniors entered the gym- nasium, senior class president Dan Thieie delivered the invocation. Then, Mike Tomlin gave his Salutatorian speech. Tomlin was followed by the senior choir, which sang Let- ting Go. Afterwards, Chelle Woods presented her Valediaory address. The popular slide show was next, bringing back memories of the past year. The presentation also brought forth much laughter and a few tears. Finally, the time came for the distribution of the diplomas. This was probably the most awaited pan of the entire ceremony. Some seniors presented Dr. Sailsbery with one last marble to remember them by. After Reverend Starr ' s benediction, the whole thing was over. Twelve years of blood, sweat, and tears had finally earned the big payoff In the commons after the ceremony, graduating seniors said their last farewells. Then with somewhat mixed feelings, they separated paths and headed toward that first open-house party. Congratulations and Good Luck to the graduating class of 1987.

Perhaps it would be better to say that they have made it to the top of a foothill, for a mountain lies ahead. This mountain, with all its ups and downs, is life. Throughout their lives, parents, teachers, administrators, friends, and family members, have helped them on their way, often making decisions for them. Now starts a new era in the seniors ' lives. TTiis will be a time to make decisions and a time to take full responsibility for those deci- sions. It is important that the seniors keep an eye on the peak of the moun- tain as well as remembering past experiences. Grab your climbing gear seniors, and prepare for a steep ascent. When you stop to catch your breath for the next challenge life delivers to you, take some time to toast yourselves. Here is to you and me, to all our successes and failures, here ' s to our hves.

Mr. Dan Moser was appointed vice- principal. At Norwell, the vice- principal ' s major responsibility is to assist the principal, Mr. Lex Dormire, with the various facets of building administration. We talk- ed to Mr. Moser about the change and some goals in administration for the years ahead. He said, It has been a very trying year. I ' ve been scattered thinly. There are so many things that need to be started. Time is our biggest enemy. We would like to begin a SADD chapter and an Ala-Teen, but all of this takes time. When asked if he missed teaching, he replied, I miss teaching very much. I don ' t get to talk to the students as much as I ' d like, or the teachers. When asked if there was anything he would like to put in the yearbook he said, I wish all the seniors the best. I hope all their dreams and goals become reality. For underclassmen, I hope we can help establish their goals and aims. Secretaries at Norwell play on important part of administration. They plan, organize, and prepare major events of administration. Behind every great administrator is his secretary. Guidance is a vital part of each school. Gjunselors help you plan your class schedules, and they may also assist you in a f ersonal pro- blem. Our guidance counselors are Mr. Jerry Carter and Mrs. Linda Reed. Members of oui administiacion are Mr. Lex Dormire, principal; Mr. Dan Moser, vice- principal; Mr. Rex Decker, athletic director, and Mr. Jerry Caner, guidance counselor.

What would you do if there weren ' t any cooks to make that food. It ' s pretty good for a dollar, what can you ex- pea? The cooks come in early in the morning so we can eat. But what thanks do they get, This food is barfy, These aren ' t beef, they ' re soybean! It ' s pretty amazing, somehow we manage to eat it. People don ' t pay much attention to the behind the scenes people. They are the people who take care of the school. They dean up your messes after sports events, fix your lockers when they ' re stuck and pick up all your gum and candy wrap- pers when you throw them on the floor. These people are the custodians. They keep the school dean and fix the things that need to be fixed. So, the next time you feel the urge to dean out your locker and leave all your old papers, jjens, or whatnot on the floor, remember who has to dean it up!

STAFF PEOPLE 139 Reading, Writing, ' Rithmetic — things haven ' t changed since Grandpa went to school. The three R ' S may have given way to a more rounded liberal arts philosophy, but book-learning has remained an integral part — indeed, the focal point — of a Norwell High School Education. Academics gives each student the opportunity to explore a world of knowledge and to develop his mind to its fullest potential. Only in the United States of America is this opportunity so vast, so sweeping. Our Founding Fathers, believing that an educated people would remain a free people, set up the first public school system with this as their objective: Grant unto each child equal access to the gates of knowledge for the success of this democracy depends upon our posterity. Textbooks have changed since then, but not ideals. At Norwell, each student develops an awareness of the world around him. After four years, the student has a foundation of knowledge upon which he can build a productive and self-satisfying life. d. lADEMICS This IS Now! Miss and Mr. AU-American That was Then!

ACADEMICS 141 Bag It UUritE Communication is the most essential asset in the human race. It doesn ' t matter whether it is spoken, written or drawn. It remains the most important form of human interaction. This communication has become an art used to ex- press oneself In speaking and writing proper English, or any other language, you explain where you come from and where you go in life. At Norwell everyone can and does benefit from learning English, literature, and foreign languages. Some of these classes are Modern Literature, English Literature, and American Literature. There are also Composition classes one and two. Norwell also has a Public Speak- ing class, as well as three foreign language classes: French, German, and Spanish. Norwell students have always benefited from these classes, and we hope they always will. English and literature are major facets of communication.

There were also quite a few students who took other business courses like Accounting, Recordkeeping, Business Machines Computers, Business Law, Retailing, and other courses. There were many underclassmen who took the business courses as well as the upperclassmen. Social Studies courses were also popular this year. Many students took the required courses such as U.S. History, Government, and Psychology or Sociology although many students took the social studies electives such as World History and World Geography. i ..- - ' Ken Deetz works hard to perfect his typing Janell Lanternier asks for assistance from skills during typing class.

Through the year the Home-Ec classes baked candy, pie, pizza, and watched food demonstra- tions. They made different items in the sewing classes such as dresses, shirts, pajamas, and skirts. There were a variety of classes which many students partook in such as Home-Ec I, Home- Ec II, Senior Home-Ec, and Family Living. The Industrial Arts class also learned many skills. They learned to draw, create, repair, and think. They learned the skill of arc and gas welding which might be used in a future career.

Although Art Class requires attention to detail and diligent work, many students find the class a refreshing change from the other more restric- tive classes at Norwell. Students learn such skills as shading, and how to work with different types of paints and pencils, and are encouraged to fully develop their creative potential. The class is structured in order to let the student work at his own pace. Each student is en- couraged to use his own ideas. Agriculture, like art, is a refreshing change from the other more restrictive classes at Norwell. In agriculture there are many different activities that are done. The students have proj- ects dealing with the care of domestic animals, and also the growing of different crops. Some students are allowed to judge for FFA.

Choir I and Choir II students learn about the basics of vocal train- ing. Gold Choir and Swing Set require tryouts. Miss Dowden is trying to get more boys involved in all the choir classes. She feels that if more boys were interested in participating, choir would have a greater vocal depth. Some students in Choir panicipated in the ISSMA contest in Indianapolis. Nobody that went to state got less than a second place medal. Although choir involves much hard work and requires skill and precision, it is an aaivitiy enjoyed by many students.

The marching band spent a great deal of time and effort during late night practices from 6-10 perfecting the show, but in the end it was all worth it. During the concert band season, band members worked hard trying to perfect their playing abilities. They all worked together to decorate the gym for their big Christmas pro- duction. In February, they all performed for the Issma contest at Wayne. Each student was responsible to learn a solo or ensemble to play for the judges.

Without these patrons, our yearbook could not survive. Many area merchants show their support by placing an ad in the yearbook. This lowers the final cost of a yearbook copy and displays the merchants ' products to the public. More impor- tant, area businesses provide the jobs that make it possible for students to buy yearbooks. Nearly every Knight has held a part-time job at one time or another.

The two years I ' ve spent on the staff helped me ap- preciate that which I never knew. Everyone on the staff should be commended for their great work, especially Mrs. Rebecca Lambert who taught us the true meaning of team work and cooperation, as well as how to put a yearbook together. No one can ever imagine until they ' ve been on the staff, how trying it is on everyone, be it striving for that last deadline or just trying to get along with one you would have never imagined getting along with before. The staff is like a large family, an odd family, filled with a variety of people that represent the school as a whole. I would like to say that Dan Thiele and Karen Reef did an ex- cellent job this year, as did all of the photographers and staff members, we needed all of you! I don ' t think people realize or appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to be on the Yearbook Staff and I want to thank Mrs. Lambert for allowing me to experience it for myself. Thanks to all the staff and good luck next year!

COLOPHON 189 DETAILS The end of the school year is quickly ap- proaching. Seniors are busy getting their an- nouncements and party plans organized. Juniors are sweating under pressure due to the deadline of their first and most dreaded term paper. Many of the sophomores are fretting over the notorious chemistry finals while a majority of the freshmen are having nightmares of wrecking their drivers ed. car. With Opening Day at hand, many students are beginning to get excited about the spring and summer sports. Whether they are trying to get a ticket to a Cubs game or hoping the next track meet won ' t be canceled due to rain, the spirit of sport never falters. It ' s also prom time again. Girls and guys are scurrying around hoping to find a compatible date. The junior prom committee is fretting over getting the decorations done in time while the freshman and sophomore girls are dying to get noticed by a junior or senior guy who will take them to the prom. Many are so worried about the details of finalizing the school year they forget to have fun. But a large majority of the student body sits back, slips it into neutral and enjoys the end of the ride.

CLOSING 191 Change The 1986-87 school year started off much like any other school year, but everyone noticed some changes. There was a new vice principal to contend with, Mr. Dan Moser. A second set of doors had b een added to all entranceways. Soon the classes were under way and our football team was on its way to the seaional finals. When winter rolled in, Eric Tucker was making headlines as one of the top-ranked wresders in the state of Indiana. In the spring, Eric became the first Norwell grappler to reach the state finals in Indianapolis. In April, students and other members of the community recreated the fifties scene with their presentation of Grease the musical. That same weekend, seniors, juniors, and some lucky underclassmen attended Norwell ' s first official after prom party. As the final days of school drew near, seniors could an- ticipate graduation. For underclassmen, sum- mer would mean only a temporary break from studies. Everyone scurried around trying to get addresses and phone numbers of friends who would be departing during the summer months. Even the staff seemed ready for a short furlough. Nobody appeared too worried about the high school, though. After all, it would be ready for a fresh start when August rolled around.
