School was no place for swinn suits and water skis. When registration descended like a net, it snared 3500 students. It seemed like OPRF took only one kind, anyone between the ages of 14 and 18. Or maybe it was more like four kinds: seniors, juniors, sophomores, and fresh- men. As the year began, students fell into very few categories. Those who went calmly about the business of starting school generally fell into the seniors category. Knowing their way around the high school and the procedures to follow set them far apart from others. Pennies at their feet, searching for wall maps, freshmen often looked lost. Exper- ienced students could spot a freshmen from a distance. Relieved at finally being upper classmen, juniors preyed on naive freshmen. Newly li- censed drivers invaded the streets, finally abN to cruise. Sophomores attempted to look as informec as possible; after all, they were no longer nev to the high school. Why should they be con fused? But their library passes made thenr almost as conspicuous as the freshmen. At the year ' s beginning one ' s class deter mined what kind of person one was. Eventual- ly other kinds would emerge. The Wall was a popular place for upperclassmen to gathe during their iuncti periods. Socializing with friends was a part of everj student ' s day. The stadium was filled with a flood of faces as students of all kind! attended the first assembly of the year. Like most seniors, Mitch Doktycz and Cheryl Cafcules went througl ' the familiar process of purchasing books during registration week. For the daily trips to and from school a common mode of transpor- tation was the bicycle. All different kinds, from dirt-racers to ten- speeds, suited the needs of students. 2 Opening kKds Members of the Junior Class Council work together to plan their homecoming float Other events being discussed were the sale of g Entertainment 81 and the Junior Senior Prom. | to Discussing plays for the game with Riverside-Brookfield, Coach Ed | ' ' Zembal points out a specific example to the football team at an early morning meeting. 4 Opening ' ww « wpf 4 mBir Getting Them All Together Computers, magic, dancing, sports . . .as the year progressed clubs and events brought all kinds of people with common interests together. These groups of people distinguished them- selves by their selective activities. Some kinds performed on stage, others worked behind the scenes. There were those involved in sports and those who watched. Each person found something that interested him and began to be involved. Because there were so many things to do, many students became involved in more than one kind of activity at a time. Social hours were filled with practicing, building, and creat- ing group projects. The rewards were personal satisfaction, new friends, and recognition by others. Ross Brown Checking the brakes on a Camaro in Auto Tech class, Jeff Gius- tino.

Opening 5 ( . - KIVDS A. Lisec Setting Them All Apart Pursuing increasingly individualized activi- ties, from acting to roller skating, all kinds of students began to break away fronn their groups. Dancers, pilots, scientists, models, writers, designers, and politicians began to grow in their own personal directions. To find them and many other kinds of people all you had to do was look at those around you. Each had a different kind of ambition. Each person was caught up in a different kind of activity. Those who excelled became known for their special kinds of talent. People start out the same, but all kinds of people make up society. OPRF worked the same way. You started out not much different from anyone else, but by the time you left, you ' d started to become your own special kind of person; and it took all kinds of people to make up OPRF.

These were only a few in the seemingly endless range of activi- ties which contributed to the diversity of stu- dent life at OPRF. There were all kinds of things to spark a student ' s interest. While some were keeping up with happenings in the Middle East, such as the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, others were keeping up with the latest fads and fashions: Rubik ' s cube and the renaissance of the preppy movement. Still others tried desperate- ly to get tickets to the widely publicized Rolling Stones concerts in November. If rock music wasn ' t a student ' s style, he could attend the Chicago Symphony. All kinds of activities, concerns, and current events affected OPRF students ' lives in 1981-82, and students found all kinds of ways to get involved in them.

But it was the end of weeks of preparation on the part of Junior Class Council and the students who attended the 1981 Prom. Getting up the nerve to ask someone was not the end of the planning behind going to the Prom. At- tending the dance meant: renting a tuxedo, buying flowers and the $38 bid, finding a dress, planning pre- or post-prom parties, and organizing the trips that many couples took the next day to such places as the dunes, Great America, and Brookfield Zoo. The Junior Class Council began preparing long before most students knew who their dates would be. They raised money by holding a carnival, and selling Huskie mugs and Hefty bags. The ballroom Schmill Studio Bev Coniglio, with her blue ruffled-collared dress, and her date Paul Fazio are an easy couple to spot. As the hour got later, people began shedding jackets and tying bacl hair with Palmer House napkins, Patti Elia and Mike O ' Malley are among those trying to stay cool on the crowded dance floor. had to be chosen and reserved over the summer. The Palmer House, where the 1979 Prom had also been held, was chosen because of its reputation and size. Although Junior Council had intended to allow more space on the dance floor than at previous Proms, they had not anticipated the crowd that at- tended. The class of 1982 sold the highest number of bids ever at OPRF, with over 500 couples purchasing bids. On May 30 the preparation was over and students could enjoy the evening with its theme, Hold on to Your Dreams. Couples danced to the music of Network and ate a Chicken Kiev dinner. Junior Class President, Eddie Dobbins, felt that the Prom went very smoothly, saying, There was a lot of co- operation. Most people respected the rules that were laid down. -Julia Andersen Schmitt studio Schmill Studio 10 Prom The large number of bids sold was not expected by the Juniors who planned Prom.

Prom 11 One Year At The Top Of The Heap How A Senior Might Remember The Last Year eptember 1-First day of school. At last it has arrived! After three long and arduous years of high school, I have finally attained the status of Senior. From the first few days when I was a confused freshman, dodging the pennies as they whizzed towards me, I can re- member myself admiring the calm and confident style of a senior. From my freshman year to my junior year, I have anxiously waited for today. When my first day as a senior ended, some friends and I went over to Erik ' s Deli. We talked about our new teachers and classes. But most of all we talked about how it felt to be a senior. October 11-Homecoming weekend. I don ' t know how 1 did it, but I survived Homecom- ing weekend. The senior float occupied much of my time. As I helped put some of the finishing touches onto the float Friday night, I also had to be thinking about the dance. Saturday morning I confirmed our reservations, picked up the corsage, and got the car keys from Dad. Although we lost the football game, the spirit of the dance was not dampened. January 20-Last finals Ai ine enc of eve ' y semester for the past three and a half years, I have been faced with a dreadful trial of my nerves in the hideous form of final exams. Like most seniors, I will have no second semester finals. So I am finally free of them. I ' ll have no more late night cram sessions, no more days of walking around in a zombie-like state from lack of sleep, and best of all no more number two pencils.

These finals were some of the toughest I have ever had. This is because I have been afflicted with a slight case of senioritis. I find it very difficult to pick up many books. April 12-Spring vacation. The sun was really hot today and hoards of people were at the beach, so Dave and I decided to do a little sight seeing around Tampa. We both agree that this is the best spring vacation we ' ve ever had. It was a great idea to get a bunch of us together and drive down to Florida.

June 2 It ' s Hearing the end of the year already. Only three more days of school, then GRADUATION. Senior year has gone by like a flash. I can ' t believe that Prom has already come and gone, and graduation is the last big event of senior year. Even though I don ' t really like formal affairs, I realK loved Prom. Everyone was in a really wild and craz mood. The end of my high school career will finally come on June 10 when I walk up to the platform to receive, with very mixed emotions, my diploma. -AI Diaz Late Friday nigtit, seniors Barb Hawkins and Amy Dunnell hurr ic cor peie :ne senior float, a giant balloon with the theme Up, up and away. 12 Senior Journal : .-€ ;V s studying for PSAT ' s, juniors begin a series of college tests that often continue througti senior year.

The decision to move the ceremo- nies Inside to the auditorium rather than holding them in the stadium, was made then in order to make the necessary preparations. This meant that the gradu- ation was broken up alphabetically into three sec- tions. Two of the six valedictorians, Bonnie Bumiller, Peter Burke, Dean Godellas, Rose Li, Ruth Saecker, and Liz Young, presented speeches at each ceremo- ny. Rose Li said, Some people were disappointed that they didn ' t get to graduate with all their friends, but most were too happy to notice while it was hap- pening. At the end of the year an election during A-period determined that the class of 1981 would keep up the tradition of long white dresses and a dozen red roses for the girls and dark suits for the boys instead of having caps and gowns or light colored suits. During one of the last class council meetings, those who attended voted on the class gifts which were a mar- quee for the ticket booth and a sound system for pep rallies. -Julia Andersen In traditional dress, Julie Brezon.

Of the 266 surveys complet- ed, 22.2% were from freshmen, 21.8% from sopho- mores, 28.6% from juniors, and 27.4% from sen- iors. According to the statistics, 89.8% of freshmen, 89.7% of sophomores, 92.1% of juniors, and 93.2% of seniors chose to attend college. Frequently chosen schools were the University of Illinois (7.4% of students), Triton (3.8%), and North- western (2.6%). Forty-one percent were undecided. Business was chosen as a major by 9%. Other popular majors were engineering (4. 1 % ) and pre- med (5.5%). Twenty-four percent were undecided. Sixty-seven percent of students planned to work during the summer after graduation, and 58.4% hoped to continue working during college. Four percent of students wanted to wait a semes- ter or year before starting college. The military was chosen by 1.3% of juniors and seniors. Some stu- dents (5.5%) planned to skip college altogether. The roads OPRFers chose led in all kinds of direc- tions to accomplish all kinds of goals. -Johanna Madden Looking through a college guide, Rami! Fajardo searches fo the college that will be best for him, both socially and academical 16 Plans After Graduation r What To Do After High School Students Make Many Different Plans For The Future hat am I going to do after high school? This was one of the most important and most troublesome questions that plagued high school students, especially seniors. According to a randum Tabula survey, many stu- dents had an idea of the general direction they wished to follow, and a few had even chosen specific careers. These ranged from the ever-popular med- school hopefuls and auto mechanics to such diverse career options as geriatric psychology and sports medicine. Continuing their educations in colleges and voca- tional schools was the most common post gradu- ation route among OPRF students. Many choose this route because it was The thing to do. One senior explained her decision by saying, I ' m going to col- lege because I don ' t want to become a bum. What- ever the reason, college would give students an edge in the increasingly competitive job marl et. Many students planned not to enter college imme- diately after graduation, but rather tal e a year off from school to work or travel. With the rapidly in- creasing cost of higher education, working for a se- mester or a year before entering college helped ease troubled financial situations. But for some, the choice to work or travel first was made simply for the excite- ment, knowledge, and maturity it could provide. Some students chose to skip college altogether and enter the job market immediately upon gradu- ation. Students who chose this route usually didn ' t like school, couldn ' t afford college or found a promis- ing career which didn ' t require a college education. The military was another choice open to students. They chose between ROTC programs at many uni- versities and active duty. 1981 OPRF graduate Ste- phen Corcoran entered the Army because he was interested in helicopter mechanics. He felt that al- though he didn ' t do particularly well in high school, his strong interest in aviation was responsible for his graduating at the top of his class in the Army. Whatever road ' 82 graduates planned to travel, they could be well assured that they had a good educational background at OPRF. As Corcoran said, OPRF really prepares you well for the Army or any other profession. -Johanna Madden Senior Theresa Guarino prepares an order while another em- ployee waits on a customer. Restaurants such as Murphy ' s are popular places to work during the summer after graduation. Working in the businesslike setting of a bank gives students such as senior Barbara Kolzow a good view of future careers. Plans After Graduation 17 Free At Last Three Months To Yourself iking through Ger many, making up a class that was failed last semester, hanging out at the beach, or working at a summer job. OPRF students engaged in these activities and many more during the summer of 1981. Traveling, especially through Europe, was just as popular in ' 81 as ever. Senior Martha Heine com- mented on her bike trip through the German country- side. The youth hostels were the best part of my whole trip. We met kids our ages from all over the world. Other students attended summer school to pick up extra credits or to take classes not offered during the school year. Many students attended various workshops and athletic camps during the summer to develop and perfect skills used in their respective activities. Senior Carol Mahoney and the other Pom Pom Squad offi- cers attended a camp at Rockford College. They learned several new routines, most of which were used during the football games in the fall. While at Rockford, the Pom Pon officers used their skill and knowledge to win more camp competitions than any other squad in attendance. Senior Dave Teune worked as a camp councelor and found it rewarding in several ways. I had the opportunity to develop my interpersonal and leadership skills while working in a fantastic environment! Summer jobs were a great way of gaining valuable experience for college and future careers. They also proved to be good money-making activities. One senior who worked at a resort in Wisconsin felt that her experience was a good preparation for college. Working full time teaches anyone responsibility, but working away from home taught me responsibility for both my job and myself, she said. A great percentage of the OPRF student popula- tion spent their summer in perhaps the most popular and enjoyable way: loafing. What better way to spend three endless months but sleep until noon, wa tch a little of All My Children, maybe go to the beach, and then party until dawn? When this began to get a bit monotonous, a select few chose to expand cultural horizons by visiting the Art Institute or reading Ttie Scarlet Letter. (Weren ' t you supposed to read that last year for American Lit?) However OPRF students spent the summer of ' 81, one thing ' s for sure: almost all experienced mixed feelings at the prospect of returning to school in the fall. Giving up the laziness of summer was hard at first, but returning to OPRF and friends there made it a little easier to bear. -Johanna Madden Downtown Chicago offers many ways to enjoy a summer day, such as watching a bicycle race which Olympic skater Eric Heiden entered- 18 Summer ummmmmm ? f «r ' During the summer, soccer players Steven Jasker and Peter Wilkie get into condition for the season by playing an informal game- Learning a new sport is one way to spend the summer.

I forgot my combi- nation! Do we go to A-period first or not? and How was your summer? were just some of the comments that could be heard during the first day of school. This school year was unique in that it was the first year in Oak Park ' s history that the doors were opened before Labor Day for the first day of school. Reactions were mixed about the early start. Math teacher Lois Goldstein said that at first she was angry about starting before Labor Day, but as the time approached, she began to get psyched for the new school year. English teacher Bob Samuelson felt essentially the same way. He liked the way the school year st arted out slowly with the nice long Labor Day weekend after school started. Senior Chris Sarabia enjoyed coming back to school, It was nice to see everyone I didn ' t see over the sum- mer. Junior Diane Grouse felt differently about the opening of school: I didn ' t want summer to end. It was interesting to see what classes I had, but then it got boring real fast. But before students could start school, they had to register. This meant receiving schedules, buying books, getting yearbook pictures taken, and in some cases getting new ID ' s. All in all, registration went smoothly. Senior Amy Henschen summed up the feelings of most, It went very well, it was very well organized. -Barb Hawkins 20 Getting Started Ross Brown With a serious pose, junior Larry Bennett gets his yearbool Working at the bool sto re, Kristen Shaffer gives Michelle Cas- mug shot taken.

Around The World With Spirit A Week Of Orange And Blue And Foreign Culture uskies are on top of the world, Fly high with the Huskies, and Blow Lyons Away were among the slogans on the posters that covered the walls on the first day of Spirit Week, October 5. Spirit Week began with students arriving Monday at 6:30 AM to fill the Student Center and cafeterias with orange and blue streanners, posters and balloons. Senior class won the Deck the Halls contest. The thenne Around the World in 80 days was displayed in the showcase filled with momentos of foreign countries. Eighty- seven A-periods also got involved, decorating their doors in the spirit of various foreign countries. The enthusiasm continued throughout the week. In each of the three lunch periods. Student Council held contests including a root beer chug-a-lug, a balloon ankle race and a balloon shaving contest. Sexy legs contest winners were John Beran and Mary Jan- nette. The climax of spirit week was the school colors day on Friday. Orange and blue Go Huskies but- tons, shirts, uniforms and jackets were seen through- out the school. Pep rallies were held during each lunch period with pom-pom and cheerleading rou- tines, a performance from the Jazz Band, and speeches from members of each fall sports team. That evening many students went to the garages in which floats were being built in a last minute rush to put the finishing touches on their floats. Many agreed with Helen Giuntini who said, Homecoming week accomplished what it was sup- posed to — it psyched everyone up for the game. -Julia Andersen Spirit Week 23 As his teammates make a desperate attempt to even the score, center Jim Arado watches the last few seconds of the game.

One fan ex- plained, It wouldn ' t be fair to lose Home- coming two years in a row. Things did start out well for Oak Park. With safety and a touchdown, the Huskies took a quick 8-0 lead. But this didn ' t last long. The play after the Huskie touchdown, the Lions scored, and with a two point conversion tied the game. The Lions dominated the second quarter. So when the first half ended, they had built up a 22-8 lead. The once rowdy crowd was now silent. With the help of the marching band and the pom-pon girls, the crowd slowly came back to life. This year for the first time the queen was an- nounced during half time instead of during the dance. This gave students who weren ' t attending the dance a chance to find out who the queen was first- hand. There was a loud cheer from the crowd when Kelly McCormack was announced the 1981 Home- coming queen. Also the winner of float contest was named. Senator Philip Rock decided that the Tra- peze float was the outstanding float of the Home- coming parade. With the start of the second half Huskie fans had new hope. Junior Connie Rabias said, I know we can come back. We have to come back! In the third quarter Junior John Hall scored a touchdown. The team tried a two point conversion and succeeded. The Huskies were back in the game. With the start of the fourth quarter the Huskies were on the move again. John Hall set up a touch- down by getting a crucial first down. Junior quarter- back Eric Kumerow then ran the ball in for six points. With the extra point the score was now 23-22. The fans went wild. We are number one and Huskie power could now be heard through the stadium. Unfortunately, the Lions would not give up. With less than six minutes left, they scored a touchdown plus a two point conversion making the score 30-23. Quarterback Kumerow tried to march the Huskies down the field again. But it was useless. The Huskies had lost Homecoming. Leaving the stadium you could hear fans saying, We lost. I can ' t believe we lost. -Sue Sheehy Pom-pon girls perform in front of a hot air balloon which was provided by Student Council as a promotion of the Around the World theme. 24 Homecoming Game With flags and smiles the pom-pon girls perform during half time to America the Beautiful.

Inside they found the room decorated with travel posters and crepe paper. One section depicted a sidewalk cafe of Paris. The cafeteria was decorated in the style of a German beer garden with root beer and pretzels served to those taking a break from dancing. The dance floor was crowded with people enjoying the music of Unity, the group that had performed at the previous King of Hearts dance. Melissa Ryan enjoyed the band because they played a variety of music and the songs were easy to dance to, At 10 PM the court was presented: juniors Rachel Kind, Jenny LeSueur, Alison Slagel, Kelly Smith, Ann Westphal and Denise Zaverdas and seniors Heidi Jensen, Mary O ' Keefe, Leah Schejbal, Biz Tardy, and Liz Tucker. Although the queen had already been announced, Kelli McCormack received her tiara that evening. The dance continued in full force for another hour. Then couples headed for downtown, local restau- rants, or private parties. -Julia Andersen Homecoming Dance 27 Ross Brown In October, freshmen line up to vote for ttieir choices in the Freshman Class Council election. In order to get their classmates to vote for them, candidates made posters and summarized their views.

Getting involved in school activities is very important. No doubt you ' ve heard that many times before. However, making it into an activity, whether drama, music, student government, or sports, often involved putting yourself on the line in an audition, try-out, or election. The list of activities that were offered a student at OPRF was almost endless. However, most activities required that the student show his or her ability in that particular field in order to participate. This situa- tion often created a lot of tension and nervousness. For drama, students had to show their talent in an audition in order to get a role in a play. In last year ' s production of The tvlusic fvlan al- most 300 students tried out for parts. The competition was rough, said senior Cathy Weber. Knowing that there was so much talent out there really made me nervous. Auditions are really rough on your nerves, said junior Angela DeWeese. Thinking positively and be- ing prepared helps me overcome my nervousness. Although auditions put many through some trying moments, senior Paula Bintz said, It ' s all worth it when you go out for your applause! In running for Student Council the reward came not from applause, but from trying to better the school and the lives of its students. For Student Council the prospective candidates stood in front of a class assembly while a prepared statement was read for them, explaining why they believed they were best qualified for the position. When you stand in front of all those people you really get nervous, said junior Mark Shaffer. Hop- ing you ' re going to win relieves some of the tension. Sports at OPRF also created tension for partici- pants. For most sports a student wishing to join had to show his ability and desire to excel in that particu- lar sport. The try-outs are tough, said junior James Quinlivan. Competition is so intense . , . The pres- sure is always on! Activities of many different types required some sort of try-out which left the possibility of not getting accepted. This made making it all the more meaning- ful. -Al Diaz After filling out applications and writing essays about them- selves, students check to see if they have made Tabula staff.

Where are you going? Out. With whom? A bunch of friends. When are you going to be back? I don ' t know. This conversation probably sounds familiar if you ' ve ever tried to get the family ' s car on a Friday or Saturday night. Students at OPRF utilized many means of trans- portation to get around. The types of transportation used depended on your year in school, the area in which you lived and what the transportation was being used for. One of the most widely used forms of wheels was public transportation. Students used the El to get to sporting events. Oak Street beach, downtown for shopping and also to get to school. Up until last year buses were also widely used but with the service cuts and the large fare increases it became cheaper and more convenient to share a cab with some friends. Others parted from the conventional modes of trans- portation. These people utilized skate boards, unicy- cles, roller skates and anything else that would help them get around faster than walking. The most popular form of transportation was the car. Before getting a license one had the choice of bumming a ride, bicycling, or, as a last resort, walk- ing to school. Bumming a ride from Mom or Dad worked fine if your parents didn ' t sleep late. For those who couldn ' t get a ride, biking was a popular alternative, even among upperclassmen. This was evident simply from a look at the bike racks on a warm day. Getting your license meant that your parents could make you do twice as many errands, including chauf- ferring little brothers and sisters around. But the slight inconveniences were far outweighed by the privileges of a license. Movies became accessible. Kids would take trips without parents. And no longer did one have to ask his parents to drive him and his date to dinner or a movie. Also, one acquired the privilege of driving his friends around on a Friday or Saturday night. This pitfall was more commonly known as cruisin ' . The word cruisin ' conjured up different ideas for different people. Senior Dan Hegarty said, Cruisin ' means getting wasted and driving around looking for parties and girls. On the other hand, one freshman said, Cruisin ' means riding around on bikes. .Typically an evening of cruisin ' started with a group of friends trying to think of something to do. Someone usually knew where a party was, or, more likely, thought he knew. You and your friends drove over there only to find you had the wrong address or else that the party was cancelled. After a few weekends of cruisin ' you began to sympathize with adults who complained about the crazy teenage drivers. However, seeing the crazy drivers among the teenagers made many adults for- get that most high school students were cautious drivers. Throughout their four years at OPRF students used many different modes of transportation, but almost all the students found that a car was the most | convenient and also the most fun.

Pride On And Off Field = 1 pirit can be defined as meaning to en- S courage, urge on or stir up. This kind of spirit was evident at almost any football, basketball or soccer game. New to the school this year was the Spirit Club. Its goal was to promote school spirit. The Club met on Tuesdays after school to learn cheers and to excite members for the upcoming games. Varsity cheerleader Karen Tittle enjoyed cheering in front of a spirited crowd because, If you look up into the stands and see a bunch of dead faces, it is not as much fun; but if you see the kids looking at you and wanting to cheer with you, it is so much better. But at many of the athletic events spirit was sadly lacking. Senior Amy Henshen echoed the feel- ings of those on most of the lesser recognized sports (those besides football, basketball and soc- cer) by saying, There is so much team spirit, but not much school spirit for girls ' track meets. School spirit didn ' t necessarily stop with athletic support. Having school spirit also meant having pride in your school. On any given Friday, you could hear teachers telling their students to shut your Traps! Traps was short for the school newspaper, Tra- peze. The Trapeze staff worked hard to put out a quality paper, and that was shown by the students preferring to read their Trapezes to paying attention in class. The same held true for the Tabula. Every year in early June there was a constant battle be- tween teachers who wanted to teach and students who preferred to read and write in their yearbooks. The kind of dedication that went into putting together these two publications showed a real pride in our school and spirit. Every other year the orchestra went to Europe to perform. They worked long hours to prepare them- selves for the trip, but they felt it was well worth the effort. Senior Ruth Lehman felt the trip was a fantas- tic experience: It was great to see the wonderful response of the Germans to your playing. These are just a few of the many extracurricular activities that show pride in the school. The sports teams, academics and activities clubs, and musical and drama groups all contributed to the spirit at OPRF. -Barb Hawkins Schmilt Studios With the Huskies ahead by eight points, fans stiow ttieir support of the team by doing the Husl ie Power cheer.

Holidays: Festivities and Fun students Celebrate, Take A Break From The Routine c ounting down the days, students anxiously awaited the various holidays that provided relief during the year. The festive spirit be- came a part of OPRF and was displayed in decorations and costumes. Winter break was greeted with the most enthusi- asm. Students looked forward to Christmas, Chanu- kah. New Year ' s Eve, or just the fact that there would be two weeks without school. Although there were Ghoul-o-grams on Halloween and Heart-o-grams on St. Valentine ' s Day, the Santa-grams at Christmas were the most popular. Many people sent their friends these red and green cards made by Tau Gamma members. Other signs of the approach of winter break were the Christmas decorations which were hung in various classrooms and offices, as well as in the cafeterias. On the last day before vacation, the festive feeling was in full force. Many people passed out cards, candy canes and presents. A Cappella Choir went caroling through the halls. There was a special Christmas issue of Trapeze. The Pom-Pon Squad wore red stocking caps to school. Students could have their pictures taken with Santa or Mrs. Claus in the Media Center. Halloween also generated lots of enthusiasm. On the day before Halloween (since Halloween fell on a Saturday) the school was suddenly different. Stu- dents appeared in a variety of costumes. The outfits ranged from punk rockers to cowboys and from Egyptians to American tourists. During each lunch period a costume contest was held by Student Coun- cil in the Student Center. Diane Emond won fourth period for her dragon costume. The fifth period win- ner was Sue Saunders dressed as Reagan ' s favorite jelly bean, and Richard Patton won sixth with a bar- barian costume. St. Valentine ' s Day was celebrated not only with the Heart-o-grams but also with the King of Hearts Dance. Veterans Day and Memorial Day were hon- ored with all-school assemblies in the stadium. An unofficial holiday week, unique to OPRF, was revived by Senior Class with the help of Student Council. This was Decades Week, which lasted from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25, the three days before the ex- tended Thanksgiving weekend. On Monday during the lunch periods thirteen seniors modeled 50 ' s style clothing donated by James Eitrheim. The next day students were encouraged to dress up in clothing of the decade. A costume contest and hoola-hoop con- test were held. On Wednesday Dance of the Dec- ades gym classes performed in the Student Center and then taught the jitterbug to those who were watching. The finale of Decades Week was a Jade 50 ' s concert Wednesday evening. The official holidays, along with Decades Week, gave students a break from the typical school day. - Julia Andersen Groovin ' to a 60 ' s tune, Cheryl Cafcules demonstrates the steps she learned in Diana Ivas ' dance class during Decades Week Holidays 35 As part of Oak Park ' s cable T.V., senior Amy Teinowitz inter- views Steve Diilard and Dan Hampton.

No, it was not a game of tackle football, but the annual Great Break basketball game, where the OPRF faculty takes on the pros. Last year the faculty tied the pros and had over 1700 people attend the game. This year the faculty pulled out a close 68-67 win, but attendance went down to only 800. Accord- ing to one organizer, the loss in attendance was due to poor publicity and bad weather. The Bears and the Cubs had a formidable lineup consisting of Dan Hampton, Ivlike Hartenstein, Dan Neal, Steve Dillard, Tim Blackwell, Scott Thompson, and Larry Bittner. To confront the pros, the teachers used a mixed lineup including Don Hopkins, Russ Mueller, Dou g Hunt, Tom Lynch, Dan Arndt, John Pool, Mike Averbach, Steve Bender, Maria Miklos, Jim Wiggins, Don Farber and Coach Richard Dep- tuch. The game started with the pros taking command, and opening an early 10-4 lead. But a little creative scorekeeping kept the faculty in the game. The rest of the game remained close and the faculty pulled it out in the final seconds, thanks to a missed shot by Scott Thompson. .e ic Poulson Entertaining ttie crowd during haiftime, Orchesis members per- form a jazz routine to Stars on 45 Take It Easy But Take It Free Period Options he halls, which had been nearly ennpty for forty minutes, were suddenly filled with noise and the familiar hustle of getting to the next class. During the short six minutes between classes, OPRF students rushed out of class- rooms an d headed in different directions. If the next class happened to be a free period, students took advantage of the time they had by using it in a variety of ways. Freshmen and sophomores used their study halls to get a headstart on homework or simply to read a good book. But sophomores Jennifer Wehrman and Loretta Pineda agreed that study hall was sometimes a disadvantage because some teachers don ' t give out library passes and study hall teachers don ' t per- mit talking or even sleeping in class during study hall. Phil Langley, a sophomore athlete, said, take advantage of the three study halls I have each week by doing homework because I have practice after school. And I ' m looking forward to self-studies next year because I can go to the Monogram Room. Other students went to such places as the Pollution Control Center, the Student Council room or the publications room to relax during free periods. Self-study allowed juniors and seniors to go to the north cafeteria. This was a popular hangout because kids could sit in groups and talk quietly together. Consecutive free periods gave students a chance to get out of school during the day. A lengthy lunch hour spent at home or at such places as Tasty Dog was a convenience since it could help a student forget a bad day at school. The Media Center became not only a place to escape study hall, but a place where the entire stu- dent body could use all the helpful resources that a library can provide. Nearly every period there were students using the music department ' s practice rooms to improve their skills. The Graphics Room, in the WCAR complex of resource rooms, enabled teachers and students to produce many of the vi- suals seen throughout the school. Numerous students also devoted their time to helping others. An office aide delivered interview slips and ran important errands for the deans while other students worked at the circulation desk in the library. Tutors shared their knowledge with fellow students while audio-visual aides delivered equip- ment to classrooms. OPRF upperclassmen were first given the privi- lege program in which they exercised options dur- ing free periods in 1972. Since then, they have been going to a variety of places during free periods. -Chris Soria The hustle of getting to class starts once again as Bill Cliristen- sen hurries to tiis locl er.

What ' s A Typical Student? Many ways to spend the 133 hours week not in school I earching for the entertainment tastes of Stfie average OPRF student, Tabula sent surveys to 20 of the A-periods. The re- suits showed that it truly takes all kinds to make up OPRF. Choices in music, books, movies, and spare time activities were widely divergent. For instance, of the 115 people who responded to the question What is your favorite book? there were 73 different answers. Flowers in the Attic was the most popular, but was prefered by only 12% of the respondents. Lord of the Rings (7%) came second and The Great Gatsby{5%) was third. Sixty-five % of the students said that they did read non-required books. Listening to the radio was another popular activity. Only about one percent of the stduents said that they didn ' t listen to the radio on a regular basis. While rock, not surprisingly, was the favorite kind of music (preferred by 55%), students displayed interests in many different types of music. Other choices were New Wave (12%), Punk (9%), Jazz (8%), Disco (8%), Country (6%), and Blues (4%). The most listened to radio station was WMET (29%) followed by WLS (25%) and WLUP (20%). Journey was the most popular group, named by 10% of those sur- veyed, while the Rolling Stones and Led Zeplin tied for second with 8%. The long running series W 4 S - was again the favorite TV show, chosen by 30 % . Two newer shows, Hill Street Blues and Fame, followed with 13% and 7%, respectively. Preferences in movies also showed a great variety, ranging from Reds to Caddyshack and from The Muppet Movie to The Shining. Raiders of the Lost Arl got by far the most votes with 29%, followed by Private Lessons with 5%. Taps and Stripes Wed for third with 4% each. As for spare time activities, the variety of re- sponses was enormous. Some people remarked, What spare time? Others included such things as drawing, building models, cooking or playing musical instruments. The largest number included some type of athletic activity. But the types of athletic activities ranged from weightlifting to dancing and included tennis, running , skiing, and just about every sport imaginable. Students found all kinds of ways to spent the time left after school, jobs, and homework. -Julia Andersen Entertainment 41 Different Ways To End A Week Students Head To Jobs, Parties, Movies, Plays After the final bell rang on Friday afternoon, students had two days to do whatever they wanted before school started again. How students spent their weekends varied from hav- ing a job to going to parties or plays. Many students, especially juniors and seniors, had jobs and worked weekends. Junior Roseanne Fiora- vanti, who worked at Erik ' s said, I like working be- cause I get to meet some interesting people, both customers and other employees, and I like to have some extra spending money. On Friday or Saturday nights OPRF students could be found doing a wide range of activities, including parties. The parties at OPRF ranged from the small quiet get togethers with close friends to the big, rowdy beer parties where one might not know half the people there. Senior Sally Dee said she preferred going to smaller parties where, You can get to know people better, instead of just making small talk to fit in. Amy Dunnell said although she enjoyed small parties, she liked big parties too, because, I can talk to a lot of people I don ' t normally get a chance to during the week. But OPRF students weren ' t only interested in par- ties; they also attended sporting events and cultural activities. Pam Tilton said she liked going to sporting events, especially games with cross-town rivals Fen- wick or Proviso East because, I like to go support OPRF teams to show that we really care what they do. And it ' s a nice place to see my friends. Students liked going to cultural events such as plays. Senior Martha Heine said she enjoyed-going to plays be- cause, I am very interested in the theater, I like to see shows at OPRF or the community theater. It ' s not something I do every weekend, but if there is a good show, I ' ll go see it. No matter what OPRF students did from Friday afternoon to Monday morning, their weekends were a welcome break from the school week. -Barb Hawkins h John Boshardy M ' , ' ;i, .

Do you own a Rubik ' s Cube? What do you think about Punk fashions? Students at OPRF had widely differing views on the latest fads and fashions. One of the most popular fashion categories at OPRF in 1981-82 was Prep. Preppy attire included Izod shirts and sweaters, penny loafers, topsiders, kilts, blazers, and Oxford shirts. Despite a moderate amount of protest from the Save an alligator; shoot a Preppy movement, Prep remained the most ac- cepted fashion trend. The antithesis of Prep, Punk, steadily increased in popularity this year. Green hair, stark make-up, and safety pin earrings were a few of the outstanding characteristics of Punk. Reactions to Punk were sometimes quite strong. One girl simply replied, Yuk! However, most students, like junior Wendy Tegge, felt that, People should be able to wear what they want. Many students who didn ' t fall into either of the two previous catagories dressed in a style known as Jock to some, and just normal, to others. Both guys and girls belonged to these groups. Most students gener- ally wore gym shoes, blue jeans or cords, flannel shirts, team jerseys, and college and other T-shirts. Then there were the students who cared more about comfort than fashion. Often they wore gym shoes or work boots with comfortable old blue jeans and their favorite concert T-shirts. Rush, AC DC, and the Rolling Stones were popular ones. Army jackets kept them warm, as did the longer hair worn by some guys. All kinds of hair styles could be seen in the halls of OPRF. Shoulder length hair and bangs became very Ross Brown After the invention of Rubik ' s Cube, many students find It and other puzzles challenging and frustrating, yet enjoyable.

One junior boy felt that the braids many girls were sport- ing were especially nice. Shorter, more styled hair became fashionable for boys. Headbands, from the unisex folded bandana to girls ' more elaborate store- bought ones, made their flashy debut in the middle of the year. Fashion became more important to students this year, even to boys. As junior Scott Randall said, Most say they don ' t care, but they kind of do. One of the biggest fads this year was Rubik ' s Cube. Kids talked about it, tried desperately to solve it, pulled their hair out over it, and a tew kids, once they finally figured it out, entered contests to see who could solve it fastest. But some just couldn ' t see the purpose. Junior Kerry Rickelman asked, Who wants to turn a lot of squares? Those who couldn ' t get into Rubik ' s Cube some- times collected patterned shoelaces and pencils. Preps went for the ones printed with alligators. Oth- ers chose stars, hearts, and whales. The shoelaces were versatile enough for girls to wear in their gym shoes or their hair. After winter vacation, kids could be seen all over wearing Sony Walkman units they got for Christmas. The sound quality and opportunity for private listen- ing made them a big hit. Junior Tim Reimann liked the Walkman because it takes the boredom out of walking home from school. All the fads and fashions, from Prep to the Walk- man, gave OPRF distinctive sights and sounds in 1981-82. -Johanna Madden 44 Fads Fashions Don ' t Be A Hoser Following is a glossary of terms that could be heard every day in the halls of OPRF.

Fads Fashions 45 Oak Park: Unique Surroundings Residents Benefit From Communities ' Rich Culture T T he villages of Oak Park and River Forest formed a unique community. Many resi- dents felt that the uniqueness resulted from the villages ' cultural and political life. Culturally, Oak Park and River Forest w ere two of the richest communities in the country. The Historic District of Oak Park was filled with homes that were significant in the evolution of American architecture. People from around the world came to Oak Park to see the homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Ernest Hemingway was another citizen who had a great impact on the communty. He, along with Edgar Rice Burroughs and Wright, helped establish Oak Park as a center of American culture. The villages held several cultural events during the year. A Day In Our Village offered tours of famous Oak Park homes, along with other festivities. Art in the Park, held each May, gave Oak Park artists a chance to display their work. Over the summer. Shakespearean plays were produced in Austin Gar- dens, and concerts were given on the mall. Traditionally, Oak Park residents have been active in village affairs. The past year was no exception. A hard-fought campaign resulted in Sara Bode becom- ing the village ' s first woman president. But Oak Parkers also involved themselves in issues with implications beyond village borders. When Nes- tle announced its intention of opening a restaurant in Scoville Square, some residents boycotted because of Nestle ' s sale of infant formula in developing coun- tries, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of mil- lins of babies due to unsanitary conditions. Nestle was victorious, however, when it received a liquor license for its restaurant. Citizens of Oak Park and River Forest experienced a wide range of activities, events, and political issues which enhanced life in the community. -Al Diaz r u «-i- 4 ■ i III s Ir • i ' ftrfQ)R •. ' ?

Community 47 Violence, Repression Dominate Royal Wedding, Peace Marches Only Relief From Martial Law, Assassinations, Terrorism Martial Law In Poland In 1911, Joseph Conrad described Poland as not so much alive as surviving ... [It per- sists] in thinking, breathing, speaking, hoping, and suffering in its grave, railed in by a million bayonets. This statement was no less true in 1981-1982. By October 1981 the Polish labor union. Solidarity, led by Lech Walesa, had gained support of 9.5 million members. As the voice of the  orkers, Solidarity had made great strides in increasing freedom for the people of Poland. But by the middle of December, Gen- eral Wojciech Jaruzelski, communist party leader and head of the military, decided that negotiations w ith Solidarity could no longer be fruitful. On December 13 the government imposed martial law on the people of Poland. While there were no signs of Soviet military interven- tion, the Polish army was in control and Lech Walesa was detained by the new government leaders. Telex and telephone lines were cut, and Polish mail, radio, and television were censored. Travel was banned, flights can- celled, and gas stations were closed to private cars. A 10 pm to 6 am curfew was enforced. lli( Mft ,iiK im-d lUf.trMCU] w ?, MKjr riil ' fill ( m uit t j t Seven people were killed and 50,000 were arrested during the first week of the military takeover. At first the workers resisted and participat- ed in strikes throughout the country. Resis- tance also came in the form of Archbishop Jozef Glemph ' s denunciations of Jaruzelski ' s military regime at the celebration of the feast of the Epiphany in the presence of 3,000 wor- shippers. In addition. Lech Walesa refused to negotiate with military authorities without the presence of Glemph, Solidarity ' s three legal advisors, and the entire union executive com- mittee. But all of the actions together were not effective enough to present a strong challenge to military rule. By the middle of February, martial law was still in effect and shortages of essential com- modities continued to cause unrest among workers. The curfew and censorship contin- ued, but the strictness slacked off. The Polish people had begun to adjust to the new way of life, but the differences the people had with their government remained, -fvleg Schmucker In Peaches Store, Ellen Gibson looks at a Soli- darnoisci album, one sign of support for Poland ' s Solidarity. Civil War In El Salvador In the small Central American country of El Salvador, a civil war between the Christian Democrats, the government currently in pow- er, and Marxist guerrillas caused much heated debate in the United States over what role the U.S. should play in the conflict. The Soviet-backed right wing guerrillas at- tempted to overthrow the government of President Duarte. The U.S. government ' s de- cision to back Duarte ' s government came up against protest due to accusations that Duarte and his security forces often violated the hu- man rights of his citizens. The Reagan administration ' s policy towards El Salvador included sending money, war sup- plies, and military advisors to aid Duarte against the guerrillas. This cost American tax- payers millions of dollars. The Reagan administration ' s fear of the es- tablishment of another puppet regime of U.S.S.R. in the Western Hemisphere was the main reason for backing Duarte. These who disagreed with the administra- tion ' s actions did so for many reasons. They said that backing a government that was known for its human rights violations was against everything the U.S. Constitution stood for. Some protesters objected to military inter- vention in the civil war, fearing that it might lead to another Viet Nam. They did not like the idea of 50,000 Americans dying for a cause I that the American people did not fully back. -Al Diaz Flood Of Peace Marchers In Europe The Reagan Administration announced, in late October of 1981, plans to place medium range missiles in Western Europe. The action touched off the largest anti-nuclear protest in European history. Strategically, the plan was designed to limit the number of Soviet missiles that would reach the European and American targets in the event of a nuclear exchange. Generals on both sides of the Iron Curtain saw the plan as an important method of defense. After announcing the plan, Reagan also pro- posed that the two super-powers meet and formulate an agreement to reduce arms in Eur- ope. What the missile deployment plan meant to thousands of people living in NATO countries in Western Europe was that there would be a greater likelihood of nuclear war in Europe, and if such a war broke out, the destruction of Western Europe would be a virtual certainty. Peace marchers all over Europe went to the streets calling for disarmament, peace, and reduced tension between the US and the USSR. 300,000 marchers in Bonn, West Ger- many on October 10, 1981 and two weeks later, another 300,000 in Amsterdam brought the anti-missile demonstrator count to over two million before December 1981. Slogans I like Rid the world — but first the Netherlands I — of nuclear weapons and Reagan: Your bomb will not be over our tomb were waving on signs, reminding Americans of their own peace movement in the sixties. All of the marchers were protesting the US missiles in Western Europe, but the demon- strators differed on possible solutions. Some called for national bans on weapons; others wanted complete bilateral disarmament. Students at OPRF analyzed the situation from various angles. The missiles would offer them security, according to Greg Armstrong. You wouldn ' t have to consider that the peo- ple out there are a very small minority. Most of the demonstrators are organized by European Marxists. Considering the view of the protesting groups, Bruce Buttney said, The marchers are proposing that somebody make the first step by reducing nuclear forces, someplace, just as a token gesture, and, if necessary, reduce them altogether. He also cautioned, It might be what ' s required to get a real arms reduction started, but, of course, it ' s never been done before. To many, the prospects of a solution seemed extremely dim. Yet amid all the tur- moil — charges and counter charges, de- mands and proposals — all the participants agreed on one thing: they all voiced their op- position to nuclear war. -John Paul Inkmann 48 Current Events International News Pope John Paul II Wounded By Gunman On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, May 20, 1981, Pope John Paul II was about to cele- brate mass as usual in St. Peter ' s Square. Among the crowd of about 15,000 who had gathered to see him was Mehmet Ali Agca. While the Pope extended his arms in blessing, Agca fired several shots, two of which hit the Pope. During the ensuing 20 minute drive to Gemelli Polyclinic he bled profusely. While one bullet had shattered the joints of a left finger and grazed his right arm, the other entered his abdomen, damaging his intestines. For close to 5 ' 2 hours the Pope underwent surgery. The doctors were wary of complications, but no problems occurred. Although security was increased around the Pope who had al- ways had much contact with the people, things for the most part returned to normal, and the Pope regained his active religious role. -Julia Andersen Hunger Strikers In Ireland Starting last (vlay, Ivlaze Prison became the scene of tragic deaths of Irish Republican Army terrorists.

They were willing to die for the right to be treated as political prison- ers. Since the IRA had been unsuccessful in its war to drive the British out of Northern Ireland, the prisoners felt they had to win their war inside Maze Prison. They were so dedicated to their cause that each time one protestor died, forty others were willing to take his place. Mar- garet Thatcher, Prime Minister of England, firmly rejected the IRA prisoners ' demands for political prisoner status. I think it was stupid: maybe if they had done something different, the prisoners would have been more successful, said Connie Ra- bias. Although they did not accomplish their major goal, the prisoners started anti-British sentiment in Northern Ireland, erupting into protests each time a prisoner died. Also, an IRA supporter was elected to Parliament and contributions and recruits to the IRA increased as results of the strikes. Heidi Pretzel, a junior, voiced an often heard OPRF opinion: Even though I am Irish, I be- lieve the hunger strikes are a cheap way of getting publicity and sympathy for the IRA. -Sue Sheehy A Storybook Wedding In Britain Next to Chicago Fest and going to the beach, the biggest event of the summer for many OPRF students was Britain ' s fairy tale wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales and fu- ture king of England, and Lady Diana Spen- cer. For one day, the British forgot their prob- lems. 900,000 lined the two mile route to the church, some camping on the street for 48 hours to get a good view. Millions all over the world watched it on TV. The bride and groom and other members of the wedding party and family arrived at the church in horse drawn carriages. Prince Charles, dressed in full military uni- form, anxiously awaited the arrival of his bride. The beautiful blushing bride was dressed in a puffy sleeved, low cut ivory taffeta wedding dress spun with silk and decorated with an- tique lace. The most extraordinary part of the dress was its ornate twenty five foot train. The seventy minute ceremony was full of British pomp and pageantry. After the cere- mony, Charles and Diana attended a wedding breakfast with a hundred and twenty guests. Then the new Princess Diana and her prince went out on Windsor Palace ' s balcony to greet their adoring public. Much to the crowd ' s delight, Charles kissed his bride. After a change of clothing, the newlyweds entered a horse drawn carriage with a Just Married sign and silver heart balloons on its back. This carriage brought them to an await- ing train that took the couple to Lord Mount- batten ' s country home, the first stop on their honeymoon. The next part was a Mediterra- nean cruise. The wedding brought out the romantic in me, said Michelle Venti, a junior who got up at 4:30 am to watch the festivities. -Sue Sheehy The use of nuclear power brought demonstrators to the streets in the U.S. just as nuclear weapons brought out protestors in Europe. Anwar Sadat Killed By Member Of Islamic Group The assassination of Anwar Sadat shocked the world and left the Middle East more politi- cally unstable than ever. I thought the assas- sination was terrible, because now there is less of a chance for a real lasting peace between Egypt and Israel, commented senior Theresa Guarino. On October 6, 1981, the Egyptian president was presiding over an extravagant military pa- rade when a junior lieutenant approached the reviewing stand. Expecting a salute, Sadat rose. Instead, a grenade was tossed into the presidential party. Soldiers scrambled out of the back of a truck, throwing grenades and firing submachine guns. Confusion ensued and when it was over Sadat and some of his top aides were dead. All the evidence indicat- ed that an Islamic group called Al Toq fir wir Hijra was responsible for his assassination. The members of this group were outraged by Sadat ' s admiration of Western ways, his gen- erosity towards the Shah of Iran, and his politi- cal ties with Israel. Sadat was most famous for his joint efforts with Israeli president Mena- chem Begin on the Camp David Peace Treaty. In 1978 both were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was the first time in 31 years that Egypt and Israeli were not in a state of war. Because of the attempt on his life earlier in the year. Presi dent Reagan did not attend the funeral. Instead, he sent three former presi- dents. Carter, Ford, and Nixon paid their last respects at Sadat ' s funeral. -Nora Hans During the summer, the royal wedding could not be forgotten, as pictures of it flooded the maga- zines. Current Events 49 Economy, Strikes Send Chill Sting Victory And First Woman Justice Are Good News In Year Of Recession, Baseball Strike And Arctic Cold Chicago Finally Has A Champion The Sting, What ' s that? Oh. I already saw that movie. That ' s the response one would have gotten if he had told his friends he was going to see the Sting a few years ago. But a lot has changed since Lee Stern founded the soccer team in 1975. In its first year the Sting attracted only about 4,000 fans per game, but attendance has been increasing ever since. Last year the Sting started playing indoor soc- cer and even though they did not win they set a NASL record with a crowd of 16,237 at the indoor championship final. Furthermore, the Sting ' s impressive 9-0 home record showed that it would be a strong contender for the 1981 Soccer Bowl. Karl Heinz Granitza led the Sting in its bid for the Soccer Bowl. The team had a great year. The media started giving fuller coverage to the team as it ended the regular season with the best record in the NASL. The final game of the playoffs brought out the largest crowd in Sting history, 39,623, as the Sting defeated the San Diego Sockers 1-0 in a nerve racking shoot out. On October 3, the Sting brought Chicago its first championship since the 1971 Black Hawks, as it defeated the New York Cosmos 1-0 in the Soccer Bowl. Now when someone mentions the Sting, people say, Oh yeah, you mean the Soccer Bowl Champs. -Eric Poulson DEATHS: 1981-82 John BelushI, 33, actor-comedian, best known for Animal House and The Blues Broth- ers.

Reaganomics And Recession During President Ronald Reagan ' s first year in office he pushed through Congress a wide ranging program of federal budget cuts, leav- ing many citizens — including OPRF students — both amazed and bewildered. In his 1982 State of the Union address, Reagan said that his program would affect everything from space to the mail box. Although the nation responded at first with a wave of optimism, by the end of the year the mood had soured and Reagan ' s popularity dropped. People relying on food stamps were serious- ly affected by the budget cuts. Of the 5.5 million receiving food stamps, 400,000 were suddenly no longer eligible due to the new requirements. Each family could earn no more than $1 1,000 per year, instead of the former $14,000 requirement. Other groups experiencing the budget cut- ting were Medicare recipients. Congress cut $1 billion from the program funded jointly by the state and federal governments. That meant the states would have to bear a heavier burden of financing. Closer to home, students began anticipat- ing the consequences of cuts in the student loan program that helped many college stu- dents pay tuition. Of the $5 billion previously budgeted about $900 million was cut. It is unfair for the lower classes, said junior Greg Reposh, whose opinion was shared by many here. You should be able to choose a college on the basis of educational value, not the price tag. Some OPRF students felt the consequences of Reaganomics immediately. Students col- lecting social security benefits because of a deceased or disabled parent stood to lose the benefits if they didn ' t enroll in college by May 1, 1982. This rule caused seniors Laura Leon- dak, Audrey Lesondak and Janet Hall to gra- duate early and enroll in college during March instead of beginning in the fall. Junior Steve Gibson thought Reagan de- served more credit. We want things to get better over night, he said. What most of us don ' t realize is that it took a lot longer than that to get ourselves into this situation and it ' s going to take time and effort to get us out. He ' s doing what he thinks is right, and you have to give him credit for that. How Reagan and his advisers were handling the economic situation was a matter of great controversy. Time would tell, though, whether Reagan ' s programs would eventually cause people to answer his own question affirmative- ly. During his presidential campaign he had asked repeatedly, Are you better off now than you were four years ago? After Rea- gan ' s first year many people were not feeling any better. -Gregory Dwyer Steam rising from Lake Michigan set a lonely scene as few people ventured outside on January 9. 50 Current Events National Local News Seven Weeks Of Summer Without Baseball For many people, baseball, hot dogs, ap- ple pie and Chevrolet have always been sym- bols of America. But in the summer of 1981, the meaning of those symbols changed drasti- cally with the 1981 baseball strike. The mean- ing of baseball shifted for many from being a great sport to being nothing but a big busi- ness. The stril e started June 12 because of a dispute over free agent compensation. After seven long weeks and fifty missed games the players and owners finally reached a settlement. In the end it seemed that every- one had lost: the owners, the players, and especially the fans. Chicago fans fared badly compared to oth- ers. At the conclusion of the first part of the season, the White Sox were 2 ' ? games out of first place and were playing very well. It looked as though Chicago fans might finally have a winner. Then came the strike. Afterwards to solve the problem of organi- zing the playoffs and, more importantly, to help build fan interest, the owners agreed to hold mini-playoffs between the division win- ners of each half season. So instead of the usual four teams entering the playoffs, it was now eight. This pushed the beginning of the world series to the middle of October. But the playoffs didn ' t work and the second season was a dud. Fans for teams like the White Sox realized it meant their teams had to start over. Fans for first place teams realized that their teams second half performance didn ' t matter since they had already made the playoffs. After the strike, attendance was off 25% and the playoffs scheme produced ludi- crous results. For instance, the team with the best over all record in its league, the Cincinnati Reds, did not even make the playoffs. Nina Schuler, a junior and an avid Cubs fan, summed up most people ' s feeling by saying, The players and the owners didn ' t even care how the fans felt. If they did, they would have tried to settle it sooner than thev did. -Sue Sheehy CTA Faced With Problems Many problems ate at the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) this year. The problems came in the form of strikes, fare increases, shut- downs, and dollar bill bans. Chicagoans and suburbanites alike became increasingly aware of the CTA ' s problems in December, 1980. Patrick O ' Malley, Illinois RTA board member, announced that a shut- down of the CTA system was likely in March, 1981. But the CTA didn ' t stop running and it didn ' t run out of money in March or April or June as predicted later. In May, though, two transit systems did shut down. They were the West Towns Bus Com- pany and the Joliet Mass Transit System. The buses in Joliet stopped running when the dri- vers went to work on May 23, 1981 and were not paid. Throughout the CTA crisis, Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne and Illinois Governor James Thompson blamed one another for their lack of leadership. Byrne criticized Thompson and others for lacking the courage to end the cri- O ' Connor First Woman Supreme Court Justice On July 7, 1981, Sandra Day O ' Connor made history when she became the first wom- an justice to serve on the Supreme Court, replacing Justice Potter Stewart who had re- tired. Attorney General William French Smith and White House counsel Fred Fielding both be- gan drawing up lists with names of possible replacements for Stewart after they learned of his retirement. Both lists contained three types of people: prominent conservative lawyers, old friends and women. O ' Connor ' s name was on both lists. Then Justice Department lawyers were sent out to her Arizona ranch to interview her. Meanwhile, the White House was filled with glowing recommendations from Justice William H. Renquist, Chief Justice Warren Burger and Barry Goldwater. O ' Connor was not the only woman being considered. US Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cornelia Kennedy from Michigan was also being interviewed. But O ' Connor was the one chosen to go to Washington. While in Washington, O ' Connor was interrogated to test her ability to withstand the pressures of Court. Then came an interview with President Reagan. After talking to O ' Connor, Reagan showed no interest in interviewing anyone else. Students at OPRF seemed to be pleased with the new justice. Senior Angela Stewart summed up the feelings of most by saying, I think it ' s good that President Reagan appoint- ed a woman judge because now the Supreme Court can have a woman ' s point of view on subjects like abortion and equal rights. -Barb Hawkins Arctic Cold Hits Chicago For two weekends in January, Oak Park could have been easily confused with Siberia. On January 9, an unexpected blast of arctic air hit the Midwest. The temperatures in the Chicago area dipped to -18 degrees while the wind chill was a frigid -74 degrees, but the worst was yet to come. The next day, Sunday, the temperature was -26 degrees which broke 190 year record. The winds blew at 23 miles an hour and the wind chill fell to an unbearable -81 degrees. Mayor Byrne closed all Chicago schools for the next day. Almost all the schools in Cook County followed her example, but not OPRF. I listened to the radio and kept hoping and praying, said Junior Cara Knoeppel. But it was all in vain: we had school. OPRF fol- lowed its tradition of staying open in all weath- er conditions. Many students couldn ' t face the weather. Over 1,000 absences were reported on January 1 1. But the cold wasn ' t over yet. The next weekend, on Saturday, January 17, the tem- perature fell to -25 degrees during the night, one degree short of the record. The record cold of January made the winter of 1982 an experience that would remain fro- zen in people ' s memories for a long time. -Sue Sheehy • m sis. For commuters, fares were the major head- aches. In July, fares were increased for the second time in 1981. They went up to 90$. With transfers being IOC, commuters swamped the fare boxes with dollar bills. This led to the dollar bill ban. CTA officials said that the bills cost millions of dollars to count and to repair the damaged equipment. Students at OPRF had mixed opinions about the fare increases. One sophomore felt that the fare increases were necessary be- cause the CTA couldn ' t cut services anymore. But Bob Fairman, a junior, said, I think that the fare hikes were unnecessary. Mismanage- ment and lack of communication within the CTA hierarchy caused the eventual decay and near collapse of the entire system. Prospects for an end to the CTA crisis were not good. In February, 1982, the Civic Feder- ation, a watchdog group, said the CTA might have a $191.3 million deficit by the end of 1982. Byrne predicted, also, that the CTA would run out of money by the end of the year, -Alice Hadac Stanley Sting embraces Tammy Church and Dina Chrones during their victory celebration on State Street The No dollar bills signs appearing on CTA buses represented both the ban on bills and the 300 price hike that caused the need for such signs.

Performance groups presented all kids of high-quality shows such as plays and concerts for OPRF students and the community. These perfor- mances displayed the talents of not only the actors and singers, but of all kinds of people, including Stage Crew, Props Crew, Ushers, and the Orchestra. All kinds of people made up all kinds of groups that worked separately and together to make 1981-1982 the best year possible. Douglas Megow During a rehearsal of The Taming of the Shrew.

J ' ' Mi ■ Ross Brown J 54 Orchesis X tf  «- FamilyThat DancesTogether Orchesis ' Cohesive ' In Dance To The Music For four nights in a row, May 6-9, 1981, The Little Theatre was a full house. Parents, teachers, friends, and students anxiously awaited a show designed for everyone. Meanwhile, backstage, nervous and ex- cited dancers made last minute prepara- tions. Finally, the music began, and the dancers, in their brightly colored cos- tumes, rushed on stage to begin the an- nual Orchesis Dance Troupe Show. Last year ' s show, entitled Dance to the Music, was a multi-media attraction featuring a live band and singing, as well as the dance troupe. The show included thirteen routines, incorporating ballet, jazz and modern dance techniques, chor- eographed by Orchesis members with help from Orchesis director, Diana Ivas. The live music, provided by The Mother Earth Jazz Ouintet, added much to the show. Routines were performed to various types of music, inc luding country, classi- cal, jazz and punk rock. Punk rock added a new dimension to the show since it was a fairly new form of music and had not been used before. The hard work began with tryouts in March. Last year approximately 100 stu- dents auditioned. Ivas based her deci- sions on the dancers ' ability, technique, and creativity. After tryouts ended, the dancers began practice for the show. In the eight weeks they had to prepare, they choreographed and perfected their rou- tines and worked with the band to learn the music. Besides Dance to the Music, the Or- chesis troupe performed at school as- semblies and basketball games. They did two routines for the Gospel Choir Concert and performed at the reception for the state champion Huskies baseball team. The troupe performed for students at Rolling Meadows, Morton East and West, and Proviso East. Orchesis was more than just fun for the dancers. Members worked hard and many were serious about dancing. Orche- sis provided a good dancing background and improved overall dancing ability. As Orchesis member Jenny Fedor said, Or- chesis has helped me grow as a dancer. It introduced me to different dancing styles. I was used to ballet and Orchesis intro- duced me to jazz and modern. Orchesis members also learned to work as a team. As Ivas said, One of the most important aspects of Orchesis is that ideas are pulled together as a team. Orchesis be- comes one big happy family. The word to describe the group is cohesive. -Cathy McBride Douglas Megow Orcheaii Sitting: M Hairis. G Cabanban. D. Zaverdas. D. Klein. K. McCormack, Orchesis A Parrilli, G Hifschlield, P Batokas.

It was here that decisions were made on behalf of the student body. Student Council kept busy with numer- ous activities. Their biggest projects. Spir- it Week and Homecoming, were suc- cesses. Student Council was responsible for the opening day assembly and the sale of Ghoul-a-Grams in which students could send their favorite person a special Halloween message. Along with the Sen- ior Class, Student Council sponsored the Great Break as well as the Leadership Conference which was held away from school for the first time. Student Council was more than just ac- tivities. It was divided up into five organi- zations. Reach Out, Youth Advisory Com- mittee (YAC), Publicity, Academics and Activities. Reach Out was responsible for a tea for the residents living around the high school area and tried to get more clubs involved with activities such as Homecoming. The Youth Advisory Com- mittee ' s objectives were improvements in the cafeteria food and appearance. The Publicity Committee worked on a news show, Newscene, with journalism and television classes. The show aired every other Thursday night on cable TV. The Academics committee worked on course proposals and a new Program of Studies. Student Council tried to be a bridge between the students and the administra- tion. Senior Natalie Warner said, Our main goal was to get more people in- volved, to get more school spirit. This year ' s officers were President Robyn Menna, Vice President Angle Telley, Sec- retary Kelli McCormick, and Treasurer Dan McLean. -Barb Hawkins Trusting their leader, Melissa Ryan.

Attempting to make the cafeterias more attractive, YAC hung up posters and paintings. They tried to increase students ' awareness of nutritional needs. YAC also tried to find out what food the students preferred by taking surveys and taste tests. Two students, Sarah Jolie and Evelyn Barnes, from YAC attended a seminar on Halloween in Decatur with other YAC members from different schools. At the seminar, they had speeches, seminars, rap sessions and even an election of offi- cers. They felt the weekend was very helpful.

Freshmen Fun Night and Big Brother, Big Sister were organized to help the freshmen get to know each other. The Big Brother, Big Sister program was co-ordinated so that seniors could get freshmen involved in athletics, music, plays and clubs OPRF offered. To do this at least two seniors were assigned to each freshman A-period. Big Sister Paula Bintz liked the Big Brother, Big Sister pro- gram because, Getting freshmen in- volved seemed like a fun thing to do, and it didn ' t take a lot of time. Besides Big Brother, Big Sister, Senior Class Council also co-ordinated Fresh- man Fun Night. Admission was $1.00 and money was also raised by selling baked goods in the south cafeteria. In all, 225 freshmen attended the annual Freshman Fun Night. One-on-one basketball which pitted seniors against freshmen was avail- able. There was a jellybean guessing con- test. There were games of volleyball going on in which the seniors competed against the freshman. This usually ended up in a resounding defeat for the freshmen. The boys ' pool was also open for freshmen and seniors to swim in. Many seniors and freshmen alike agreed that Freshman Fun Night and Big Brother, Big Sister helped the freshmen become better acquainted with one an- other and OPRF. -Nora Hans In a fierce tug-of-war seniors battle against fresh- men. 58 Big Brother Big Sister John Tulipano Big Sister Anne Culkeen cools off in the boy ' s pool after playing volleyball against the freshmen.

Get in- volved! All of you who have been freshmen at OPRF can well remember these strong words of advice given to you at the beginning of the school year. And you were probably thinking, Get involved in what? The freshmen girls this year, like all the freshmen girls for the past 18 years, were given a special opportunity to learn about all the activities offered by OPRF. This opportunity, known by all as Match Mate Munch included a free lunch with entertainment and afterwards a free foot- ball game. On Saturday, September 12, sopho- more, junior, and senior girls who volun- teered brought freshmen to the south cafeteria of the school, where the Munch was to take place. The freshmen were treated to a lunch, and afterwards a num- ber of skits were put on to explain all the different activities offered by OPRF. The theme this year was Munch with the Peanuts and the skits included Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Pea- nuts characters. After the entertainment was over, the freshmen received free ad- mission to that day ' s football game. Everyone seemed to agree that the Munch was a success. Nearly 400 stu- dents attended, and some seniors said it was the best Munch that they had seen. Not only were the freshmen girls encour- aged to join clubs and participate in ac- tivities, but they were made to feel more comfortable with the older students and the school itself. The entire activity of Munch with the Peanuts was spon- sored by Tau Gamma. Tau Gamma was a club which spon- sored a number of activities. The club consisted of 31 members this year and was sponsored by Betty Van Wyk and Darlene Chorney. Besides sponsoring ac- tivities for the high school such as Match Mate Munch, King of Hearts, and Daisy Day, Tau Gamma also helped the com- munity. For example, on Halloween, Tau Gamma members went around River For- est and Oak Park for UNICEF. In the spring Tau Gamma sponsored a Senior Citizens ' Day. Tau Gamma officers for this year were: Dee Dee Storto, president; Liz Tucker and Molly Mooney, vice presidents; Mary Kay, recording secretary; Claire Spartz, corre- sponding secretary; and Amy Hoagland, treasurer. -Kyna Van Briggle Ross Brown Tau Gamma Front now: A Hoagland.

[V I IT- — N Studio: Student Directors The Opportunity To Direct A Sliow etting the chance to cast, di- Grect, and design the set tor a play all on your own is pretty rare, but tour dranna students were given that chance this year. Studio 200 allowed seniors Martha Heine, Melis- sa Gradel, Andy Scott, and Laura Drake this opportunity. The first play was an old Victorian melodrama called Angel Street, which was directed by an adult, Barbara D ' A- saro, since it was the beginning of the season. It was performed on October 21- 23. In Angel Street Mr. Manningham (Mike Sullivan) is gradually torturing his wife (Joelle Ehre) into insanity. While Mr. Manningham is out, a police inspector (Paul Coffey) begins a search of the house and ends up finding a hidden trea- sure in the walls of the house. Following Angel Street was The People Next Door, directed by Martha Heine and performed December 15-17. The People Next Door Is a comedy about two families who live next door to each other. The two main characters, Pete Foster (Mike Wol- lensak) and Dottle Moore (Karen Fuller) are in love despite the feuding of their families for the past 20 years. When there is a fire the families are brought together, Pete and Dottle get married and their fa- thers become business partners. This play drew much enthusiasm from both actors and audience. Director Martha Heine commented, We had one of the best audiences that Studio 200 has had in a while. It gave me great satisfaction as a director to see this happen. The third studio presentation. Lady- house Blues, also received a good audi- ence. Performed on February 9-11, Lady- house Blues was directed by Melissa Gra- del. The play concerned the reminis- cences of Liz Madden (Miranda Zola) and her four daughters. Liz fears that all that she has now will soon be gone. The play resulted in a very gripping and highly emotional performance. On April 7 and 8 The American Dream was presented under the direction of Andy Scott. The American Dream is not a typically realistic play. Through the use of imagination and humor, it examines the American scene and attacks the artificial values in contemporary American soci- ety. The characters are known simply as Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Young Man. The last performance was The Haunt- ing of Hill House. It was presented on May 26-28 and was directed by Laura Drake. The play is about a group of seven scien- tists, led by the mysterious Dr. Montague, who explore an old house which is be- lieved to be haunted. The play is very suspenseful and has a tragic ending. This year ' s Studio 200 productions were all very successful. They touched on a variety of themes, appealed to all kinds of tastes, and provided valuable exper- ience for student actors and directors. -Kyna Van Briggle 1 Eldest daughter in Ladyhouse Blues (Regina InordertohavetheirslsterEylie (Dora Navarro) 2 Robinson) questions her mother (Miranda Zola) be allowed to go out with her friends, Dot (Dorothy a about selling their farm.

Little Theatre: Wide Appeal Giving Audience Various Dramatic Offerings Doug Megow ast year ' s Little Theatre plays L offered audiences a wide vari- ety of dramatic performances. Each play, though tinged with humor, explored various aspects of hu- man relationships. The first Little Theatre production, George Kelly ' s The Torch Bearers, was directed by James Eitrheim. The play, performed Oct. 30, 31, and Nov. 6 and 7, was a comic satire depicting the actions of amateur theatre groups. In this play the actors portrayed actors struggling through their lines in an attempt to stage a play. Although these actors believe themselves to be talented, they had no talent whatsoever. David Krajecki, who played Ralph in the play, commented, It was hard to act the part of a bad actor and be comic without letting the play turn into a Laurel and Hardy pie-in-the-face farce. That was something which took all of us a lot of practice, but we pulled it off with great results. Shakespeare ' s Taming of the Shrew, the second Little Theatre production, was also a comedy, but quite different from The Torch Bearers. The play, performed December 4,5,1 1, and 12, told of the un- conventional love of Kate (Melissa Gra- del), and Petruchio (Andy Scott). Petru- chio was the determined man who tamed Kate, the wild shrew. Although most Little Theatre produc- tions were seven week projects, this Shakespeare production took closer to ten weeks. In doing Shakespeare the ac- tors have to learn a different version of our language, explained director Jan En- gelhardt. We worked uncommonly hard doing this play. Quite different from Shakespeare, was the third Little Theatre play. The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Mari- golds, by Paul Zindel. This play told the story of Tilly (Dori Brown), a girl whose experiment, which tests the effect of radi- ation on flowers, eventually wins a com- petition in a science fair. Although the plot is simple, the play really aims at ex- ploring the relationships between Tilly, her mother (Melissa Gradel), and her sis- ter Ruth (Karin Eitrheim). The play deals with very human problems. Everyone who sees this play will see some portion of his life, said director Jan Engelhardt. The variety presented last year in the Little Theatre productions gave them a wide appeal. All the plays were consid- ered successful both by those in the plays and by those who saw them. -Cathy McBride Drama Little Theatre 65 Mother Superior (Carrie HIavacek) listens pa- tiently to Maria ' s confessions of fiaving fallen in love witti the captain.

Stage Alive With Sound Of Music Show Brightens July One of the biggest events that brightened up last summer was the production of The Sound of Music at OPRF. Because of its popularity, the musical was met with much enthusiasm from the talented students who put it on and the large audiences that attended the shows. Work on The Sound of Music, which tells the true story of the Von Trapp Fam- ily Singers of Austria, began on the open- ing day of summer school. After the big job of casting, when Sandy Wilson and Charles Maienza were chosen to play the leads, rehearsals began immediately. Practice sessions lasted from 8-10 am every day, plus extra time in the after- noons when the lead actors were called in again. Probably the toughest parts of re- hearsals were the three technical rehears- als the three nights before the actual per- formances in front of an audience. Ac- cording to many cast members, this was a time when everyone was frantic and thinking, Are we ever going to get this show together right?! But on July 24-26, everything went well and the musical was a huge success. Director Jim Eitrheim said, There were no sell-out nights, but it came very close. Other people involved in the production were chorus director Robert Fuller, con- ductor Jack Wirtz, choreographer Diana Ivas, and stage manager Devra Chernik. Also commended for its work was the stage crew, since many spectators were delighted with the realistic scenery. The orchestra and make-up department also put in a lot of work on the musical. When asked whether he minded having to devote so much of his summer to the show, lead Actor Charles Maienza said, By the time of the performances, the response from the audience and the closeness of the cast made it all worth it. -Kyna Van Briggle Drama Summer Musical 67 Adding life to Kiss Me Kate, the dancers hold an energetic pose at the finale of Another Op- ' nin Another Show .

The com- bined efforts of James Eitrheim, director, Diana Ivas, choreographer, Robert Fuller, chorus director and Jack Wirtz, orchestra director, made possible the immense task of staging the performances. Ninety stu- dents were involved as actors, singers and dancers. The process of tryouts, cuts, callbacks, and the final casting began December 14 and ended the 18th. On January 4, imme- diately after Christmas vacation, work for the play began. The cast rehearsed ap- proximately two hours daily; closer to the play, the cast rehearsed up to five hours per day and Saturdays, also. A unique twist in the musical ' s produc- tion was the use of double casting. The parts of Bianca, Hattie, and Katherine were all double cast. Bianca was played by Ivloon Hi Hanson and Aurora lasillo. Hattie was played by Paula Bintz and fvlartha Heine, and Katherine was played s by Angie DeWeese and Chris Popowits. Chris Popowits felt that, The double casting was a help not a hindrance. Watching Angie gave me a different per- spective on the play, and Angie and I were able to share ideas. Also, double casting gave two people the opportunity that usually only one has. Interestingly, Kiss Me Kate was the musical version of The Taming of the Shrew, performed as a Little Theatre pro- duction. This was helpful because sce- nery from The Taming of the Shrew was used again in Kiss Me Kate. Kiss Me Kate was the story of a group of travelling ac- tors performing The Taming of the Shrew. The actors ' actual personalities are simi- lar to those they play, which leads to situ- ations in their real lives similar to those in Shrew. Fred, played by Aaron DeWeese, and Lilly, played by Chris Popowits and Angie DeWeese, are ex-husband and wife who take the roles of Petruchio and Kath- erine. Much like the characters they play, Fred and Lilly finally settle their differ- ences. After the backstage nervousness and excitement of the play settled down, the hard work of the cast resulted in success on all four nights of Kiss Me Kate. -Cathy r lcBride Gangsters Phil Edwards and Kirk Glienke offer to rearrange Fred Grafiam ' s face if fie cannot pay a ten ttiousand dollar gambling debt, Lucentio, Petruchio, Kate, Bianca, and cfiorus sing We Open in Venice during Kiss Me Kate.

In addition, they worked on over 200 separate events ranging from honors assemblies to barber shop quartets. With the help of sponsor Mike Nielson, the 25 students on Stage Crew worked extremely hard to get the sets ready for the plays. Work on some sets started four to five weeks before the plays. Often members worked up to five hours a day on weekdays and came in on Saturdays, also. By putting in both long hours and hard work, the Stage Crew members were able to learn a great deal about technical the- ater. The light-board at OPRF was more advanced than that of any high school in the country, as well as those of many broadway theaters. With the use of such advanced theatre equipment, members were able to learn aspects of theater that many colleges couldn ' t teach them. This type of experience helped OPRF earn a reputation in the area as a producer of some of the best young stage techni- cians. In addition to learning the skills of theater, the most important thing I got out of Stage Crew was the leadership ex- perience, said shop foreman Greg Scheer. Props Crew made sure that tableware, furniture and other props were in place when the curtains opened. With the help of Pam Mihas, the Props Crew either made or located props from places such as Rosary and Concordia College. Props Crew was great; it gave me a chance to be part of the show, said crew member Kalyn Wulatin. Stage Crew and Props Crew highlighted the excellent produc- tions that OPRF produced. -Eric Poulson While working on the set for Kiss Me Kate. Brian Kirby nails a support on a flat.

Throughout the day many different sounds emanated from the room. On the floor above, voices ranging from sopranos to basses sang a variety of pieces. The music continued throughout the day, taking only short pauses as one group left and another re- assembled. Hundreds of students, com- prising the different bands, orchestras and choirs, were involved in music groups. The highlight of the year for the Music Department was that a large number of students were chosen to be all-state mu- sicians. Competing against 59 other schools, OPRF had more all-staters — 20 students — than any other school in II- linos. The OPRF all-staters made up one sixth of the participants from northeast Illinois.

After being chosen for all-state, stu- dents spent from Feb. 4 to Feb. 7 in Springfield. All-state musicians from throughout Illinois rehearsed together with the help of various guest conductors. On the final evening they gave a perfor- mance. The A Cappella Choir received another honor. It was chosen by the Music De- partment of the University of Illinois to sing at a symposium in at Champaign, demonstrating its vocal technique. Some A Cappella members also planned to go on a singing tour of Germany and France in July, 1982. When the Northern Illinois University Jazz Band came to perform at the school the OPRF Jazz Band got to work with professional trombonist Carl Fontaine and NIU conductor Ron Modell. OPRF conductor Ron Hoileman added his usual bit of bizarreness to the Jazz Band perfor- mance. During the second half of the show, the band appeared on stage in colorful costumes in a tribute to pianist Sun Ra. To complement the innovative style of Sun Ra, the band wore mardi-gras outfits, flippers and antennae. There was also a slide presentation as well as a per- formance by Orchesis.

Fifty students were involved in the choir which was in its second year. Director James Wiggins said that the choir was not solely for singing, but also to make students feel a part of the main- stream of the school. They discussed such things as conduct in the halls and the importance of keeping grades up. Wiggins felt there was a problem in that many people in the school and communi- ty didn ' t realize what the choir was or how much the members worked. They met once a week for two hours every Saturday throughout the school year, increasing to twice a week before their two concerts. Besides their concerts, the group also performed in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Assembly. During Black History Week the choir appeared at Triton Col- lege and Proviso East High School. Clarinetist Laura Voigt considered the best part of being on a music group to be that you get to play with your friends, making beautiful music. -Julia Andersen „ , , . .

The Health Occupations Club decided to do something about the epidemic. So the club joined a branch ot Teens Against Cancer and par- ticipated in the Great American Smoke Out. The club went to the junior highs in the area to make students more aware of the harmful effects of smoking. H.O.C. gave students who wanted to enter any type of health-related occupa- tion a chance to explore their chosen ca- reers. Members went on field trips to such places as the University of Illinois at Champaign and West Suburban Hospital. Usher Club The Ushers worked at all the plays dur- ing the year and helped visitors to our school find their way around. To become an usher, prospective members had to learn the assigned seat- ing in OPRF ' s two theatres. The eight offi- cers met once a week to discuss what upcoming events needed their services. Then every three to four weeks there would be a general meeting. Future Homemakers of America To help youth assume roles in society through Home Economics is one of the main purposes of F.H.A. (Future Home- makers of America), explained sponsor Bonnie Pye. F.H.A. met in two groups first and ninth period every Friday. The club held rap sessions to plan different social and fund- raising events. Such events included sell- ing caramel apples, peppermint sticks, carnations and mistletoe. In addition, F.H.A. participated in local, national, and state leadership conferences. Pye attributed F.H.A. ' s successful year to the efforts of President Tracy Pousson. Home Economics Related Occupa- tions Everyday in room 419 during first peri- od H.E.R.O. met with sponsor Darlene Kabat. In order to join H.E.R.O. (Home Economics Related Occupations) you had to have a job or get one in a reason- able amount of time. Among their activities, H.E.R.O. went to the culinary arts center at the Hyatt Regency and an overnight convention. H.E.R.O. had its advantages. You get to discuss problems on the job, what to ex- pect from a job, and H.E.R.O. helps you train for future jobs, Kabat said. Distributive Education Clubs of America As in H.E.R.O., D.E.C.A. (Distributive Education Clubs of America) club mem- bers had to hold part-time jobs to further their career opportunities and exper- iences. D.E.C.A., along with new sponsor Michael Russell, met weekly during one of the Distributive Education periods in room 365. Among many different activities that D.E.C.A. participated in were a field trip to Dean Foods Company, a banquet at Nieros Restaurant and a leadership Con- ference in Chicago. D.E.C.A. also was in- volved in local, regional and state compe- titions throughout the school year. -Sue Sheehy H.O.C. FronlRow:L Yuan, K. Van Briggle. C Soria. J Hatdy. Back Row.C Helmke. A.

The club has been in existence off and on for about 15 years. The club was not sponsored by the school and was man- aged by its president, Sherrie Ard, its members, and its faculty sponsor, Alan Becker. According to Becker, there were no specific requirements for membership. Most people come to enjoy them- selves, said Becker. The members of the club reiterated that they enjoy themselves while helping exchange students. Human Affairs Club The Human Affairs Club gave strong- minded students an opportunity to ex- press and debate their political views and opinions on current events. As faculty sponsor Michael Averbach said, It ' s a place to get ideas challenged or con- firmed. An average Human Affairs Club meet- ing involved heated discussions over the latest political issues. In order to enhance these discussions Averbach said that the members tried to recruit a mixture of radicals and conservatives as well as Democrats and Republicans. Open Hand Open Hand was designed to help stu- dents discuss common concerns and problems involved in getting along with one another, especially in regard to racial and ethnic relations. As sponsor Wendell Smith said, It is a formal way for minority kids to get together and talk about con- cerns and interests with a faculty spon- sor. In turn, the sponsor relays concerns to the administration. Smith also said that, The administration wants them to know that we care. Open Hand was one of the busiest clubs in the school. The members participated in a myriad of as- semblies and field trips such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Assembly on January 14th and the Black Chicago field trip on March 17th. -Jack Szczepanowski IL c (iv j - X h p , H A Lisec 80 International Club Julia Van Briggle and Greg Armstrong express ' their views about cijrrent events to Human Affairs A Club adviser Michael Averbach, Culture, traditions, geography, and other as- pects of foreign countries are discussed by mem- bers of the International Club.

The students experienced na- ture at its best through a wide variety of field trips including a canoe trip, and an overnight hiking trip. Al Diaz said of Out- door Ecology Club, One weekend a month it gives you a chance to go camp- ing and hiking and get away from school. Biology Club The Biology Club gave students an in- teresting view of biology. Besides lectures and experiments, sponsor Ed Radatz got the students involved in the political as- pects of biology. The students wrote to their congressmen and various organiza- tions expressing their views on a number of subjects including the Bottle Bill and the Save the Whales campaign. In ad- dition, the club sent $500 to the Illinois Environmental Council which sends lob- byists to Washington in support of various environmental bills. Pollution Control Center The Pollution Control Center, also un- der the direction of Ed Radatz, helped the community by collecting hundreds of pounds of aluminum and paper and an- swered citizens ' questions about environ- men tal problems. Using money raised in the gymnastics routine-a-thon and an alu- minum drive, PCC sent students to Las Vegas and Florida to attend biology con- ventions. Astro-Physics Club The star gazers of the school satisfied their curiosltes by joining the Astro-Phys- ics Club. Senior Barry Rice said, Astro- Physics is for people keen on astron- omy. Membership dues paid for new equipment and club members ' equip- ment. Each Friday the club went to the Dominican Priory and occasionally on overnight trips to the Roy C. Blackwell Forest to observe stars. Sponsor Joe Meyer helped members use computers to work out the distances and magnitudes of stars. Newton Club For those interested in perfecting their math skills the Math Team and Newton Club were good choices. The Newton Club was smaller and open only to upper- classmen. The members met weekly to discuss various math topics with sponsor Gregory Neumer. The topics were chosen by the students and included subjects such as Dave Bell ' s Mathematics using soap bubbles. Math Team The Math Team was open to anyone, but generally consisted of those in honors classes with a special interest in math. The team was a member of the North Suburban Math League which contained 25 schools and held five contests during the year. In addition to these the team participated in a variety of other contests including the one sponsored by the Illinois Math League. At the weekly meetings the team practiced on the different types of problems they anticipated would be in the up-coming contests. - Eric Poulson In Newton Club, Raja Malyala demonstrates a modular systems problem as Liz Noyszewski, Lor- raine Townsend and Karen Haworth look on.

Checkered boards with black and white chess pieces scattered across them were be- tween the players. Their faces showed concentration and anxiety as they planned their next moves. The Chess Club was immersed in a match. After the tournament ended, points were added up according to how the players were ranked. The game of the number one ranked players was worth five points and decreasing values were given to the other games. Toward the end of the school year, all the teams compet- ed in the West Suburban Conference. In preparation for chess matches, members of Chess Club played each other and learned from the games. Last year. Chess Club placed third in the conference. Science Fiction Club Everything you always wanted to know about science fiction but were afraid to ask might have been discussed in Sci- ence Fiction Club. We talk about books we have read or should have read, movies we have seen, and we play games like Cosmic Encounter and Sqyrm, said Col- leen Martin, club president.

The kids aren ' t supporting it. He recalled when cartoons were shown ten years ago and Lunch Theatre was packed. Silver felt that TV and cable television were the causes of the program ' s decreasing popularity. Movies just aren ' t a big deal anymore, he said. This was Silver ' s last year as sponsor of Lunch Theatre. Electronics Club If ham radios or computers were your interest, you could have joined the Elec- tronics Club. This year, the Radio Club and the Computer Club were trans- formed into the Electronics Club. Mem- bers learned computer programming or worked toward getting a ham radio li- cense. New computers and other elec- tronic equipment were purchased by s ponsor Wayne Krass, mostly with money from the school. Students could also use the equipment in his classroom. Members went to ham radio tests or computer ex- positions. - Alice Hadac 84 Chess Club Science Fiction Any move can be critical for the outcome of the game- Dave Johnson studies the chess board. 1 Scienco Fiction Club Front Row: C Manin.

Speech Team For students interested in im- proving their public speaking ability and participating com- petitively, Speecti Team was a valuable activity. Students were judged and scored in the events they participated in. Competitions consisted of eleven events covering a wide range of oral presenta- tions from dramatic interpretation to radio speaking. Reader ' s Theatre was also a part of Speech Team. It was a competi- tive event in which a group of students did an oral presentation. This year the team performed the play Balm in Gilead by Langford Wilson. Speech Team members practiced their individual pieces on their own with help from coach Joyce Barrickman. As Speech Team coach Barrickman said, This is an important activity to exist in this school because students can receive close individual attention and in this way go through a process of developing. Chris Balsamo Many debaters, like Michael Granston, spend extra time researching and practicing their debating techniques. IL Debate Team The Debate Team, already one of the finest in the nation, continued to excel. Highlighting the season, was the team ' s trip to California during Christmas vaca- tion. The debaters participated in the Uni- versity of the Redlands Debate Tourna- ment. Eric Brackett and Todd Martin be- came the first Illinois debate team to make it to the final rounds in the competi- tion. The team also participated at the California Round Robin, an invitational tournament to which the eleven best de- bate teams in the country were invited. Eric Brackett and Todd Martin placed second as a team and Eric Brackett fin- ished as second best individual debater in the tournament. The team ' s achievements made it one of the three best debate teams in the nation. As coach Ted Demos said, I think the team ' s success can be attribut- ed to the motivation on the part of the students and the competitive drive to win. -Cathy McBride Jaime Balodlmas 4 J ■PH 1 i [U if.

It ' s not essential to have a camera because one can learn a lot about photography without using it, said sponsor Sue McCann. As in recent years, Photo Club was involved in many activities. Field trips included tours of the Gamma Photo Lab and Columbia Col- lege ' s photo collection. The club invited local photographers to talk and answer questions about the profession. Members experimented with various cameras and photographic techniques. At McCann ' s request, photographic companies sent the club advertising paraphernalia which the club auctioned off to raise money. Architectural Design Club Throughout the year, the members of the Architectural Design Club expanded their knowledge through a series of field trips guided by sponsor Byron Urbanick. These included tours of the Frank Lloyd Wright and Jack Barclay studios along with a visit to the Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill architectural office. Observations and ideas gained from the field trips were discussed at the bi-monthly meetings. Most members planned to center their careers in the architectural field.

Aside from the artwork, members visited the Black Box Printing Company in Chicago. Venti added that sponsor Robert Kerr gave the club a great deal of support. Crest Staff Crest Staff members continued to be enthusiastic supporters of student literary efforts. Members met during ninth period each day to read and evaluate literary works in a constructive sense. Manu- scripts were selected to appear in the two yearly supplements to Trapeze and the magazine published at the end of each year. During the selection process, the anonymity of the writers was protected by the staff. Sponsor Doug Shepherd and the staff members demonstrated much enthusiasm about changes made in the evaluation process as well as dedication in encouraging students to submit their manuscripts. -Chris Soria Evaluating student-written manuscripts during ninth period is Raina Brubaker ' s main job on the Crest staff 88 Photo Club Design Club GAC Crest Staff During a tour, members of the Architectural Design Club study a model of the Frank Lloyd Wright Stu- dio, Architectural Design Club Front flow: J Harnis Gullo.

Trapeze: One Of Best Papers In Nation 2800 Newspapers Circulate Due To Hard Work, Dedication When the students ot OPRF walked through the school doors on a Friday morning, they vere usually greeted by the latest edition Df Trapeze. And almost every Friday, eachers found themselves competing vith the school newspaper for their stu- jents ' attention. Trapeze was a welcome elief to a boring study hall or an unevent- ul lunch period. A circulation of 2800 newspapers de- nanded hard work, dedication and long lours after school. Such a commitment vas required to produce a newspaper hat covered all aspects of student, school, and community life. Feature edi- or Ellen Gibson flet that, ' Trapeze is not ust you working; it ' s a whole bunch of people working together to make Tra- oeze. Working hard, writing stories, tracking down ad accounts, and assigning pic- tures were all a part of being on Trapeze. Besides being fun. Trapeze is profes- sionalism, which in turn causes a good newspaper. It is rewarding to have a good paper and to be recognized as a good paper, commented staff member Mary Fitzpatrick. Every Friday when Trapeze came out, students huddled around each other to see when the next basketball game was, how the volleyball team was doing, or who the new senior class president was. Students hoping to catch a glimpse of the 1981 homecoming queen, or students trying to understand the On-Campus pro- gram turned to Trapeze. In the sports pages they saw the introduction of the Jock Strip, which featured different athletes from the various teams. They also saw the sports board and the sports briefs. Most students enjoyed reading the school newspaper because of its many, well-written and concise articles. A Medalist award from the Columbia Scho- lastic Press Association for the 1981 pa- per indicated that Trapeze was a quality publication. Medalist was one of the high- est honors awarded to a high school newspaper. But Trapeze was not all work. During the year staffers played in a friendly game of football against the Tabula sXaii. Team- work brought the Trap staff a 72-21 vic- tory. Throwing parties during third period, building a first place homecoming float, and making friends were all a part of be- ing a Trapeze staff member. -Nora Hans Trapeze 91 w ; Correcting the Trapeze layout, Dave Krajecki con suits Academics-Groups Editor Nora Hans, TabulaSiati Front Row: B Hawkins.

But to members of 7afc)u a staff , it was barely enough time. Because OPRF is such a large school, the stories about students, academics, activi- ities, sports, and clubs that needed to be covered and the number of pictures that had to be taken seemed infinite. With such a large workload, diligent Ta- bula staffers, along with their advisor Steve Gevinson, devoted much of their time and energy to work on the yearbook. They came before school, worked during lunch and free periods, stayed after chool, and sacrificed weekends to meet [deadlines. Before the school year even [began, editors spent a week learning the echniques of producing a yearbook at Ball State University or Indiana University. At Ball State, the 1981 Tabula won the Outstanding Yearbook Award. The 1981 book also won a first place award from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. In spite of the fine record of the 1981 book, the 1982 staff made some changes hoping to make an outstanding book bet- ter. Changes included expanding the book by eight pages and enlarging the staff by twelve members. In addition to the regular staff of editors, reports, and photographers, a design staff was added. The design staff, which was made up of recruited Graphic Design class students, designed the layouts for all the pages that went into the 1982 book. Another significant change this year was the replacement of the Activities sec- tion by the Student Life section and the exclusion of the magazine. What normally would have been covered in the magazine was now included in the Student Life sec- tion. The academics section was reorga- nized so that stories were centered on the general academic concerns of students, including meeting requirements, finding interesting courses, keeping up on home- work, preparing for tests, and experienc- ing various teaching methods, instead of being focused on the academic depart- ments such as English and science. Despite all the hard work and responsi- bilities, most of the Tabula members found the experience of creating this year ' s book rewarding. Academics editor Nora Hans said, It ' s a great sense of accomplishment. When the Tabula comes out at the end of the year, you know it ' s good because of all the hard work and dedication that was put into it. - Kyna Van Briggle Looking through the contact sheets, photo co- editor Ross Brown searches for a holiday picture. , Cropping a photo, Student Life-Groups Editor Ju- lia Andersen tries to fit the picture into the design.

Tabula 93 If you ' ve ever asked, What can OPRF do for me academically? you were probably overwhelmed by the answer. You soon found out that all kinds of programs existed to meet the needs of all kinds of students. The tracking system made a student ' s choice of challenges flexible, as it took into account lev- els of academic ability and educational exper- ience. On Campus, XP, and Independent Study programs offered alternatives that al- lowed students to learn in different atmos- pheres or resolve schedule conflicts. High achievers took honors classes, were members of Cum Laude Society, and some became stu- dent tutors. The Gifted Program offered stu- dents in honors classes several enriching ex- periences, including a trip to Othello. Because all kinds of educational options were open in 1981-82, students often had a hard time choosing among all the courses and programs that interested them. But they could be sure that their educations at OPRF would be worth the trouble of selecting among all kinds of opportunities. Karen Platson Foundations of Algebra teaches students the principles of working with integers and variables. Stagecraft class teaches Kevin Sorenson the technique of quality set production. Classes such as this give students all kinds of valuable skills to use in extra-curricular activities and in their futures. 94 Academics Divider li %. Academics Divider 95 Gaining A Rich, Varied Education All Kinds Of Teachers And All Kinds Of Classes Make OPRF ' S Academic Experience Special i. II hat made OPRF aca- Wdemically special? Was it the teachers? The classes? The academic I ' extras? It was all of these combined. All kinds of teachers and classes made up a student ' s aca- demic experience. Teachers pro- vided high quality education, and classes met the needs of students in the basic, regular, and honors tracks. When students picked their courses they found there was an endless amount to choose from. If students were interested in credit- getter courses, they could have signed up for a semester of Psychol- ogy, Sociology, or Philosophy. If students wanted to do more than take notes in their classes, they could have taken Dramatic Arts, Ar- chitectural Design or Art Founda- tions. These courses gave students a chance to participate in the class- room activities. Courses such as Health, World History, and Biology helped bring students one-step closer to graduation. These required courses gave students the basics to build upon for more advanced courses. Physics, College English, and AP American History helped OPRF Newscene gave valuable journalism ex- perience to seniors Catliy Weber and Mark Jepsen. Taking advantage of OPRF ' s Independent Study program, junior Steve Matteson fits a drawing course into his schedule. Students prepare for college and gain credit at the college level. Various teaching methods contin- ued to peak students ' interests. Teachers played guitars, displayed Buddha figures, played classical music, jumped off tables, and em- phatically engaged in class discus- sions to teach and entertain. Academic honors such as Cum Laude and the NCTF Certificate de Merit were given to students with outstanding school records. A pro- gram that was designed to enrich students ' classes was the Gifted Program. This was done through guest speakers, field trips, and new and better equipment. In one of the best high school li- braries it would have been hard for students not to be able to find what they were looking for. Students hav- ing problems with their homework could have stopped in at one of the many learning centers. And stu- dents having problems in math could have enlisted the help of a math tutor. Newscene, Extra Help, and the first annual spelling bee were just some of the academic extras this year. Newscene was a 15 minute segment aired once a month on Ca- ble TV. What made Newscene unique was that it was written and produced by eight OPRF journalism students. Extra Help was also a new cablevision program that was aired locally. Students phoned in ques- tions to teachers on the subjects of math, science, and foreign lan- guage. The questions were then an- swered on the air. 1982 also saw the introduction of Student Council ' s first annual all-school spelling bee. Senior Angela Matthews won first place and a $50 savings bond. Programs such as On-Campus, XP, Special Education, and Inde- pendent Study gave students an al- ternative in the regular school. OPRF offered its students classes that were rarely found in other high schools. Courses such as: Introduc- tion to Television, and Aviation Sci- ence made OPRF academically special. In class and out of class, experiencing all kinds of teaching and all kinds of programs, OPRF students gained a rich, unique aca- demic education. -Nora Hans Dave Bartell and Neil Schwartz hold up one of the antique propellers in the Aviation Science classroom.

These special events ranged from an assembly re- membering and honoring Martin Lu- ther K ing Jr. to a visit from Abigail Van Buren. One special event that happened annually was the fvlemorial Day As- sembly. Each May students sat in the stadium and listened to speech- es made by various faculty mem- bers about the significance and merit of Memorial Day. The assem- bly honored veterans of past wars. At the beginning of the year stu- dents once again filed into the stadi- um for the Opening Day Assembly. Student Council president Robyn Menna welcomed students back to school and varsity baseball coach Jack Kaiser talked about school spirit and the importance of getting involved in school activities. The Pom-Pon Squad and the Orchesis Dance Troupe did routines in an ef- fort to promote school spirit. On October 27, Channel 11 ' s Chicago Feedback brought its program to OPRF. The program centered around advice columnist Abigail Van Buren, better known to Chicagoans as Dear Abby. Approxi- mately 500 students came from 31 schools to see Dear Abby. The show ' s moderator, John Calloway, walked among the audience, inter- viewing students, encouraging them to ask questions, and sometimes discussing the problems he had as an adolescent. The program touched upon homosexuality, peer pressure, premarital sex, alcohol, and drugs. I was surprised at how informed she was concerning teen- agers ' problems, said senior Ross Brown, who attended the filming in the fieldhouse. The Martin Luther King Jr. pro- gram featured the Gospel Choir and various student speakers. Members encouraged the audience to sing, dance, and clap with the music. Stu- dents spoke about the memory of King, emphasizing his contribution to the civil rights movement and his . vision of a future peace and har- ! mony. -Nora Hans 98 Special Events Lowering the flag signified the end of the Memorial Day Assembly.

The Gifted Program gave the school a chance to utilize state funds to expand the insights of stu- dents in fields such as writing, paint- ing, and computers. The Gifted Program was primarily directed toward honor students, but as Bob Ebel, coordinator of the Gift- ed Program, explained, Our philos- ophy is to present programs that will have the broadest possible expo- sure. The program is frosting on the cake for gifted students. Last year each department re- ceiving funds designed a program to benefit their gifted students. The Art Department enabled students to meet and learn from visiting artists. Both the Science and Math De- partments purchased computers to be used by students in honors phys- ics, honors geometry, and calculus classes. As honors physics student Lynn Heppes commented, The computers added another aspect to physics that made it more interest- ing. Also, I am thinking of going into computers and I am glad Ihad some experience using them. The Media Center acquired books for use in honors history and foreign language classes. The Student Leadership fund was used to support the Student Lead- ership Conference and to improve the leadership qualities of those elected to student government. The English Department ' s pro- gram included a presentation called Shakespeare ' s World by four ac- tors portraying Elizabethan England and the way this setting was reflect- ed in Shakespeare ' s work. George Harland, acting the character of au- thor Charles Dickens, performed for students, selecting passages from Dickens ' works. Honors English stu- dents were also given the opportuni- ty to see Christopher Plummer and James Earl Jones in Shakespeare ' s Othello at the Shubert Theatre. In addition, the English Department had a writer-in-residence, Joan Colby, who worked with students to help them improve their writing. The goals and aims of the Gifted Program were summarized by Bren- da Schnede, director of the English Department ' s Gifted Program, when she said, We hope that en- couraging our students to make personal and professional commit- ments will help them develop their extraordinary gifts. -Cathy McBride Two actors from the Boston Shake- speare Company perform a humorous scene in their presentation entitled Shake- speare ' s World. The Gifted Program 101 Using Unique Methods Various Teaching Approaches Generate Students ' Interest here were many fine T teachers at OPRF who used their teaching time to help students learn ; - more in their classes. Many did this through lectures, but a few teachers added their own unique means of teaching that sparked students ' interest. Among these teachers was Tom Tegge whose history room dis- played a collection of Buddha fig- ures and vivid flags of various coun- tries. He taught many aspects of history in a clear-cut manner that had positive effects on his students, according to senior Tom Kristufek. He often relied on incense, which served as a good luck charm when his students took his tests. Tegge felt that a student should have fun while learning history and make his- tory come alive. Daniel Reichard, a Humanities and English Literature teacher, played several types of music on his stereo to help convey a mood of a poem or an important moment in a composer ' s life. When reading plays or poems to his students, his voice often reflected the characters ' per- sonalities. Reichard sang and whis- tled opera tunes and shared views that the textbooks sometimes over- looked. Spanish teacher Barbara Boyer played her guitar and sang songs on alternate Fridays. As students lis- tened to popular Spanish songs, they received extended knowledge of the culture. Sociology students of Eugene Sil- ver eagerly responded to his way of conveying social differences by par- ticipating in class discussions and demonstrations. Silver also gave his classes a lot of background and up to date information from news arti- cles he collected. Proving a point effectively was not a simple exercise in logic in Joe fvleyer ' s Physics classes. When he jumped off a table to show how gravity affected the pendulum he held in his hand, he startled his stu- dents.

Fulfilling Graduation Requirements The Seven Types Of Courses That Are Designed To Give Students The Fundamentais Of Learning Before a student was able to say, so-long Oak Park High School, 11 in 1982, he had to ac- cumulate at least 32 credits to gra- duate. Each semester he received a credit per course, and by the end of an average year he would have re- ceived about nine credits. When a student left Oak Park he, along with his classmates, had to pass at least 3 years of English, 1 year of mathematics, 2 years of his- tory, 1 year of science, a health course, a consumer education course and four years of physical education. These requirements were designed to guarantee that students would learn the basics before graduating from high school. These were also the minimum re- quirements for acceptance into most colleges. What did students gain from all these required courses? During the 3 years of English, students learned about mythology, Shakespeare and literary themes such as the loss of innocence and the dark spirit. They also explored great American writ- ers such as Mark Twain, Emily Dick- inson, and Ernest Hemingway, and English authors such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Lord Byron, and Joseph Conrad. By the end of the one year of required math, students had learned the basics of Algebra, which they could build upon if they decided to continue in mathematics. For some though, this was all the math they would ever take. Just the idea of getting through society without math is horrifying, said Richard Deptuch, Head of the Math Depart- ment. It is so complex - you need some background to survive. To meet the history requirement most students took one year of World History and one year of American History. If they didn ' t al- continued on page 106 Required Courses 105 W ?i.IV .4:.t , rv. v. Getting All The Basic Credits ready know who the Sun King was or that the Vice President ot the United States was also the Presi- dent of the Senate, they would have learned by the end of the required history courses. During the required year of sci- ence, students struggled to get lab reports in on time and master con- cepts such as cell theory. Students usually took either Biology or Chem- istry to fulfill the requirements. The General Business course brought everyday financial prob- lems and situations into the class- room. By the end of the course the student familiarized himself with such things as how to balance a checkbook and cope with inflation. Besides the one year requirement of science, students had to take one semester of Health Ed. I would hate to be a Health teacher! thought many freshman. How em- barrassing! Health teachers touched upon many subjects such as sex, drugs, and hygiene. But they were all subjects which most stu- dents were curious about. It ap- plies to the students now and later in life, said Health teacher David Brooks. Karen Platson To dry a crucible, Scott Hopper carefully adjusts the flame on a bunsen burner. During the discussion of Hamlet ' s person- ality, Brett Brown listens intently. The class which hit students every year was physical education. The activities ranged from hoops, wands and balls to basketball and weight lifting, from swimming to square dancing. Whether students were learning how to backstroke or do-si- do, they would have gotten their ex- ercise for the day. These courses all had one thing in common, they fulfilled basic require- ments designed to prepare students for the future. -Kathy Rock No, it ' s not reall The students in Rosanne Miller ' s Health class enjoy the imitation in- fant. 106 Required Courses ' ,.- . ■ -v V .1 .r ; Required Courses Breaking through a communication barrier, David Diedrick teaches a deaf student and a non-English speaking student in an Urban Society class.

It has nothing to do with run- ' I ning, but it does have to do with getting sonnewhere in school and afterwards. The tracking sys- tem affected students in many ways, including who their freinds were, how they were stereotyped by others, and what kind of schoolwork they did. Basically, the tracking system was the process of grouping stu- dens into honor, basic, or regular classes, according to their ability in specific subjects. The purpose of tracking, accord- ing to Dean Barbara Wolf, was to place students where they can ac- complish their best. That was real- ly the main reason honor, basic and regular tracks existed at OPRF. Teachers preferred the system and spoke about many advantages of it. Dr. Jerry Anderson, a history teacher, explained that tracking al- lows teachers to specialize with stu- dents who are above average. Teachers can go deeper into aca- demic depth. Differences abounded among the basic, honor, and regular tracks. One significant difference was in the students ' attitudes toward their classes. Honor students, said one teacher, usually had a better atten- dance record. Homework and discipline were also part of the difference in atti- tude. Honor students would usually do their homework whereas teach- ers of basic classes would often have to be stricter with matters such as these. In honor classes, everyone pays attention. There are no discipline problems. The basic classes of freshmen are the most difficult to teach, commented Lois Goldstein, a math teacher. Basic classes could be more diffi- cult to teach. The teacher had to try harder to make the students learn and understand the work, according to Goldstein. But what about the students? Many students, in various tracks, were satisfied with the tracking sys- tem. They agreed that being placed in certain tracks affected what kind of schoolwork they did and who their friends were. You hang around with the kids in your classes, said junior Peggy Barron. All in all, most students and teachers agreed that the tracking system, with its many advantages, was best for OPRF. -Alice Hadac Michael Averbach discusses the effects of the Civil War in AP American History. John Tulipano Tracking System 109 Advancing College Chances Accelerated Courses Geared To Prepare Students For College Life And Beyond it ver 80% of OPRF students Oare going to college. Many of these students prepared 1 1 for college by taking col- lege bound courses that OPRF of- fered. Most college bound students took courses such as Philosophy, Psychology, College English, A. P. Physics, and A. P. History. College bound courses were geared to con- dition a student in a professional at- mosphere. Although most students took col- lege oriented courses with future professions in mind, there were a few other important reasons that students gave for taking them. One student who took philosophy said, The course provides me with a beneficial attitude towards my other classes. Most students and teachers agreed that the major benefit that students received from taking these courses was a better understanding of college and professional life. Thomas Tegge, a psychology teacher, viewed his course as being beneficial because it helped set a frame of mind which could be uti- lized in all walks of life. A credit from a college course in high school, went a long way in col- lege. First of all, the A. P. courses provided students with good prep- aration for Advanced Placement tests. A. P. courses actually helped students to be accepted in the bet- ter colleges. As one College English student said, I am really glad that I am taking this course because I know that it will help me get into the college that I have chosen. The college bound courses that OPRF offered were exactly what their name implied. They were courses which prepared students for the trials and tribulations of col- lege and professional life. -Jack Szczepanowski 110 College-Bound Courses Cytology is one area explored by A. P.

It ' s interesting. It ' s a challenge. These were just a few of the many reasons students took credit-getter classes. Besides required courses, stu- dents needed 13.5 credits to gra- duate. The way they got these cred- its varied from student to student, but most fell into three categories. Some students took courses be- cause of a professional or vocation- al ambition. Others took courses to foster a new or unusual interest. Sometimes a student simply wanted to deepen an interest that was al- ready developed. To prepare themselves for jobs and the working world, students took courses ranging from Account- ing to Stenography, Business Law to Everyday Law, Creative Writing to Journalism, Architectural Draw- ing to Graphic Design. In Graphic Design, students learned about the concepts of space, color, and de- sign. They also learned the tech- niques of graphic advertising and what looked good and why. I ' m interested in the field of art, and Graphic Design has helped me to further my skills, said senior Carin Haresign. continued on page 114 Credit-Getters 113 Getting Interested If the students wanted to take courses that were new and unusual they enrolled in Introduction to Tele- vision, TV Production, Public Speaking, Aviation, or Field Biology. In these classes students worked real TV cameras, produced TV shows, simulated plane flights and explored the out-of-doors. Other classes students took to foster new interests were Astronomy, Earth Science, Geology, Psychology, Phi- losophy. Philosophy taught stu- dents the logic of moral reasoning and man ' s relationship to society. These courses also helped to widen a student ' s field of knowledge about a new interest. To deepen interests that were al- ready developed, students took Contributing to class discussions is a major part of any class as Alice Slayton knows.

Whether it was Introduction to Television or Sociology, the diversity of credit-getter courses of OPRF helped to make what could have been a ho-hum day an exciting learning experience. -Nora Hans During a sixth period Astronomy lab, stu- dents make molecules out of spice drops.

Students in Industrial Tech- nology classes worked on cars, pounded on metals, and sawed through wood. Heated debates and fine acting brought applause to stu- dents in the Speech Department. Sweaty students in their PE classes square-danced. Classes like these were more alive than others. In these classes, stu- dents learned from their participa- tion and experience. In classes characterized by active students, students did more than just take notes while listening to a teacher lecture. They learned through experimenting with their projects and exploring new ideas. Instead of just sitting there, lis- tening to a teacher, you actually get more involved. It makes the class more interesting, said Edie O ' Brien, a junior. O ' Brien, like other students, was aware of a major ad- vantage in taking a participation class: You get to take part in the class. In a painting class. Bill Earle, a sophomore, said, You don ' t have to do anything. It ' s very free. He continued to talk while painting: It ' s something I ' d be doing any- way, so I might as well get credit for it. Other advantages of taking par- ticipation courses, according to stu- dents, were being able to express themselves, getting opinions of their work from their classmates, and getting to know more students. All these advantages went along with many participation courses. A student could pick from Jewelry, Sculpture, and more in the Art De- partment. Art courses provided ex- ploration of the art media and expo- sure to different materials and tech- niques. continued on page 1 19 Participation Courses 117 •• - • An authentic SO ' s costume gives Lee Smith a colorful touch for her final routine in a Dance of the Decades PE class.

This depart- ment had beginning courses for stu- dents who wanted a basic knowl- edge in a certain area and advanced work for students wanting to devel- op career skills. In The Speech Department, stu- dents were able to take Dramatic Arts, Debate, Stagecraft, or Chil- dren ' s Theatre. The purpose of these classes was to help students become better speakers, perfect their acting, or to learn how to build stage sets. Wrestling, volleyball, and ice skat- ing were just some of the PE classes. These classes offered stu- dents a chance to develop interests in certain sports and activities through electives and PE require- ments.

As this sentence was pro- nounced in classroom after classroom, groans and re- signed murmurs could also be heard. Homework, like rock and roll, was here to stay and OPRF students faced it, in its many varieties, in many different ways. Since many students participated in sports, clubs, and other school- related activities, each of them had to find time to do the daily load of homework. Freshmen and sopho- mores utilized study halls by doing homework while juniors and seniors did likewise with their free periods. When not socializing during lunch, students also found tim e for home- work. The amount of time spent on homework during a school night ranged from one to three hours. The time depended on the amount of homework and the student ' s study habits. On weekends, homework was usually the very last thing on a busy student ' s mind. Friday nights and Saturdays were spent with friends, family, and non-related activities. Sundays usually started out this way also but later in the day, stu- dents could be found studying in quiet places such as the library or in their own rooms. fvlost students had ways of study- ing that helped them to concentrate on homework. John McGrail, a ju- nior, offered some helpful advice. I do all my homework at a quiet table at home. The TV and radio are silent and my friends aren ' t around. I can ' t really concentrate with a lot of noise. What happens if homework isn ' t done? Mary Mullen, a senior, used a fairly common last-resort technique: If I haven ' t done my homework, I just do it during class! Junior James Quinlivan said, If I don ' t do my homework, I get really shy in class. I tend to hide from the teacher so I won ' t get called on. If missing homework assignments became chronic, the teacher usually talked with the student or sent a progress report to the parents. Sometimes homework was a con- fusing part of the student ' s life. But doing it had benefits for both the student and teacher. Teachers en- joyed discussions with students and knew that they were doing a good job of teaching. Students under- stood the subjects more clearly and gained a valuable knowledge for the present and the future. -Chris Soria Before heading home to do his homework, Bruce Buttny quenches his thirst.

What did you do? Some took Inde- pendent Study. It offered an educa- tional option for the student with un- solvable scheduling confilicts. Independent Study offered courses which were not required for graduation nor offered in the regular school curriculum. The student didn ' t attend class but had to do all the homework and take the tests. He or she met with the teacher on a regular basis. The program was quite uncom- mon: fewer than twenty students participated. One probable cause was that a student had a lot to do before being accepted into the pro- gram. The student had to get per- mission from his or her parents and the dean. Wayne Deese, a senior taking a course in Air Brushing, commented, It ' s a good program because you can take a course that you really want and get high school credit for it. -Chris Soria Homework Independent Study 121 Trying to get in a few more precious mo- ments of studying time before a Physics test is Kathy Klein.

Do you study while watching TV? Do you locl 1 1 yourselt in a closet to escape fron I the ringing of the phone? Or do you sit at the kitchen table with a glass of milk and half-eaten cookies staring up at you? There were two main groups of studiers. The first was the pre- pared group. This group devel- oped a fairly well-paced studying technique. They usually took notes while reading or they did an assign- ment completely before closing that subject up for the night. By the time the test rolled around, they needed only half an hour to completely pre- pare for it. Junior Carolyn DiBene- detto, typical of a prepared studier, said, I take notes during class and underline while reading. The second group could be char- acterized as the procrastinators. They felt that because a test wasn ' t scheduled until Friday they didn ' t have to study for those days given to study for the test. I usually study the day before, sometimes even the A-period before, said junior Al Clo- herty. Many students tried to create the proper atmosphere when they sat down to study. Many studied with the radio on, or while watching TV. Who doesn ' t study with the ra- dio on? asked Cloherty. The amount of studying I get in depends upon how many commercials there are in a TV show, he joked. But kids did study this way. On the other hand, some felt silence was golden. While attitudes varied about the importance of grades, no one want- ed to fail. Oh, yes, I care if I fail, said junior Liz McBride. It ' s impor- tant to pass. Junior Maureen Fa- hey said that even if she failed, I know there will be other chances to bring my grade up. Junior Tracy Kieronomos added, I take tests very seriously because they not only make up your grade for the six weeks, but they play an important role in your future. Study- ing — whether you did it well or you did it poorly, you felt the effects. -Kathy Rock studying together are John Johnson and Kevin Doyle.

Although the problems remained serious, there were measures taken to curb the crisis. The OPRF Media Center over- flowed with students every period. The Media Center instituted new regulations to stem the flow of stu- dents. The most effective change was requiring freshmen and sopho- mores to obtain special passes per- mitting them to go to the library. Another problem was the lack of sufficient seating. The addition of new courses in 1982 will bring more assignments and therefore more students will require seats, said head librarian Elaine Roth. Roth stated that there was a plan to con- vert the single seating areas into carrels, thereby doubling the seat- ing room. But she also said that this Ross Brown The tutoring program provides a chance for students to teach and learn.

We are doing a good job, said Roth She said that things were looking up, but she also expressed concern over the prospect of more crowds with new courses. The OPRF learning center super- visors were not worried about over- crowding. They were concerned with modernization and upgrading of the facilities. The Business Learn- ing Center added new computers and calculators which became ne- cessities to students in General Business and Investment classes. Although the library had its prob- lems, things were looking up. The learning centers were constantly be- ing improved. Both institutions were keeping up with the times and were determined to provide a great future for OPRF students. -Jack Szczepanowski Ross Brown The Media Center is not just a place to find books.

Hoss Brown Tutoring: Helping Others Getting Valuable Experience And Satisfaction From Working With Peers Did you ever wonder where you could get extra help in school, or how you could help others with their work? The tutoring program pro- vided a chance for students to teach and learn from their peers. Located in room 2001 in the li- brary, the tutoring program was de- signed for students who needed help in math. Every period of every day at least one of the thirty-six tu- tors was available for help. The tutoring program, which be- gan four years ago, used to be orga- nized differently. The first two years of the program each department provided its own center staffed by teachers. Last year a survey was given asking students how the cen- ters could be improved. Changes based on the survey resulted in one center staffed by Cum Laude stu- dents. A problem arose because every subject was not represented every period. Many students stopped coming. The program was reorga- nized around math, the most popu- lar subject in the program. Accord- ing to math department head Rich- ard Deptuch, I think we finally hit upon the right solution. The incentive for being a tutor was the desire to help. I get satis- faction out of helping, said tutor Greg Collins. Deptuch also said, Kids have come in and told me the only reason they passed the last test they took was because of the help they received. -Cathy McBride Media Center Learning Centers 125 C- Balsomo C Balsomo The Learning Disability Resource Center provides a good working environment.

Offer Students Variety Of Educational Options And Choices - ■ or students whose educa- Ftional needs weren ' t met in the regular school, OPRF ottered three alter- 1 1 natives: On Campus, XP, and Special Education. A student studies intently for an upcoming science test; another puts the finishing touches on a painting; and two other play a highly competitive game of pool. These are some of the activities that took place in OPRF ' s On Campus pro- gram. Formerly located in the sub- urb of Stickney, On-Campus was re- located this year on the fourth floor of OPRF. Seventy students were involved in this special education program which had a curriculum much like the regular school set-up, including everything from Geology to Physical Education. Students who would benefit from the On-Campus program were rec- ommended by their deans, teach- ers, parents or themselves. Stu- dents had to have parental permis- sion to be permitted into the pro- gram. Before being admitted, a stu- dent was screened to find a suitable program for his or her special needs. On-Campus consisted of small classes, a structured environ- ment, and a lot of support. The main goal of On-Campus was to main- stream its students into regular classrooms as soon as they were ready. After a few early problems the On-Campus program adjusted successfully to its new environment. I feel we are ironing out the prob- lems. On-Campus is really begin- ning to run smoothly, said Special Education coordinator Alice Ze- mitzsch. Located on the second floor was OPRF ' s school without walls — XP. Top National Merit semifinalists to students with limited academic skills enjoyed XP ' s non-traditional atmo- sphere, courses designed to meet their needs, and close relationships with their teachers. XP was meant to give students the freedom and support necessary to meet the chal- lenges of independent study or through apprenticeships outside of school. For each class taken, stu- dents tried to reach learning goals that were described in a contract written by them and their advisor. XP tried to put the many aspects of students ' lives into their learning ex- periences. Many students have some form of learning disability and most can compensate on their own. But some need the help of Special Education _ opportunities such as the program available at OPRF. The OPRF program included a Learning Disability Resource Center for students who were enrolled in regular classes but needed extra at- tention in certain areas such as proofreading, spelling, and writing. For students with learning disabil- ities who needed a more structured situation, there were special studies classes. Within this situation stu- dents moved from class to class throughout the day. The students with learning disabilities had normal or above average intelligence. OPRF ' s Special Education pro- gram also included facilities for mul- tiply, educationally, and mentally handicapped students. In addition there was a Behavior Resource Class for one period a day and the On-Campus program as a complete alternative. Students involved in Special Edu- cation enjoyed individual help and a good working atmosphere. Stu- dents feel better about themselves when they can succeed, said Learning Disability Resource Center teacher Pam Mihas. -Sue Sheehy Using one of the many facilities available in XP, Dara Carr types a report for one of her classes.

Alternative Programs 127 Honors and Awards AP Exams To Percy Julian, OPRF Offers A Wide Range Of Honors hat was the Fritiz- meier Award? Who qualified for Illinois State Scholarships? How much talent did take to win the Hemingway Award? Students wo rked hard to succeed in school. For some of them the work was rewarded with awards and honors. Sometimes the awards helped with college admissions and scholarships, but for many it just felt good to know that achievements were appreciated. The 1981 Hemingway Com- petition was open to all OPRF students who wished to sub- mit manuscripts. The 400 en- tries were read by OPRF Eng- lish teachers, narrowed down to about 30, and sent to the University of Iowa for the final judging. Each department at OPRF recognized excellent students for their achievements. The science department gave the Percy Julian Award to a top sophomore chemist. Other de- partments honored outstand- ing students of history, foreign language, english, and math. Students also received hon- ors from colleges and universi- ties. Book awards were given to excellent, well-rounded ju- niors. Outstanding math and science students received awards from various institu- tions and organizations. Standardized tests gave students all kinds of opportu- nities for honors, advanced placement, and scholarships. One hundred ninety two stu- dents took a total of 347 AP Exams last year, hoping to re- ceive course exemptions, credits, or advanced place- ment in college. A combina- tion of high ACT scores and class rank qualified students as Illinois State Scholars. The PSAT NMSQT was the test taken to qualify for National Merit Scholarships. A controversial new award was the Human Relations Award. A group of administra- tors, teachers and School Board members felt that by having each teacher nominate one student, those who had shown true concern for others would finally be recognized. Many people thought that the purpose of the award was val- id because it would recognize students not excelling in aca- demics, clubs, or athletics, but who made their contributions to OPRF through their kind ac- tions. Other students and teachers opposed the award for several reasons. Some felt that teachers simply were not qualified to judge a student ' s character. Others felt that no one had the authority to judge anyone ' s motives. Still others thought that the award was self-defeating — setting up a competition for cooperative- ness. In all, 120 received the award. With all the awards given and all the talent and hard work present at OPRF, it was not surprising that so many students soared so high and accomplished so much. -Johanna Madden The Hemingway Award is present- ed to Paul Cox for his story A Sure Hand.

Academic Honors 129 o Qco 5 Have you noticed how well the members of the OPRF athletic teams worked together? And did you notice how successful they were in 1981-1982? Because the baseball team was comprised of all kinds of gifted athletes with individual talents, the whole team was strength- ened into one that won the state championship. The field hockey team, with the combined efforts and support of its athletes, rose to third in state. The girls ' tennis team continued to improve itself this year, and capped the season by sending six players to the state meet. Each of these teams was so successful because each had all kinds of hard working members reaching for a common goal. All kinds of winning teams together gave OPRF the reputation of being an institution not only of academic excellence, but of athletic ex- cellence as well. Enjoying yet another victory, the Volleyball Team members con- gratulate each other. Players position themselves under the basket as James Kimmons takes a jump shot from the outside. 130 Sports Divider Even the worst of weather couldn ' t keep the Football Team off the field. Be- cause of their determination and effort, the Huskies beat York 6-0. Showing good form, Jenny Ashley follows through on a powerful forehand. Such hard work was responsible for the Girls ' Tennis Team ' s strong placement at the state meet. yt Sports Divider 131 Determination Not Enough Girls Find Softball Can Be A Hard Game any times during the soft- ball team ' s tough games, the team had determina- tion that inspired them to come from behind, stated Coach Maria Miklos. Even though they had that determination, they still finished the same as last year by making it to sectionals. During many games, though, said Miklos, the team seemed hesitant and they needed more team spirit and encouragement that we could do it. Vicky Marin felt the same way: We didn ' t come through at key games against key people. The team was young, but had for- mer playing experience. The team worked well together and had a real unit for good fielding. Improvement was seen throughout the season on basic skills. Team members felt that their own performance reflected the team performance and vice-versa. Despite good form, Jean Tomlinson fouls one off down the first base line. Despite a determined effort, Paula Wagner can- not avoid being tagged. The team had hoped to do better than their fifth place in conference but the momentum that was built up at the beginning of the season was lost due to injuries. Even so, Lisa VerHalen, Chris Feeney, and Marin were named to the all-conference team. The season was hard for the team. With as many as five games a week and many hard losses, the team still played well and put experience under their belts, for future use. -Lynn Heppes Holding steady is Eileen Ivlagee ' s job as starting catcfier.

Softball 133 Boys Take State Title On Strong Hitting, Pitching I n the beginning of the 1981 baseball season, Coach Jack Kaiser knew that he had the team that would nnake it to State. They had the proper chemistry to win. Everyone on the team had a good attitude and was academically strong, said Kaiser. Kaiser stressed that attitude, ability to work, and intelligence, were all major factors in making a winning team. At the beginning of the season. Kai- ser was unsure of the team ' s pitching. As the season progressed, his doubts were proven wrong. Both Tom Kolzow and Pat fvlcKune, seniors, showed their ability to pitch when they both pitched no-hitters. Hitting was strong all season and kept getting better. The team ' s bat- ting average was .364. During the State Tournament, which consisted of eight games, the team ' s batting aver- age was .433. Seniors Tom Hilde- brand, Tom Kolzow, Jeff McCormack, and juniors Frank Giammarese and Citari Bats .455; Kolzow, McKune Toss No-hitters Mark Serkland all had batting aver ages over .300. Seniors Marty Bel Joe Citari, and Jim McBride all ha batting averages over .400. Citari was the 1981 Most ValuabI Player, leading the team in average .455. He had seven home runs an forty runs batted in during the seasor The State Tournament brought e citement to the whole student bod The turn-out for all games was gooc Many followed the winning team t continued on page 1. 134 Baseball In an important regional game against St. Pat- rick, second baseman Tom Hiidebrand catches the ball during an attempted steal by the opponent.

Natu- rally tie went on to play for the Huskies once he got to OPRF. It was unusual, however, that Giammarese was the only junior on the Huskies ' starting line up at state. Giammarese bruised his thigh during a conference game. At Coach Kaiser ' s advice he continued to play catcher but wore a special pad to protect his leg. If Coach Kaiser hadn ' t encour- aged me to keep playing, I wouldn ' t have been ready for the State Tourna- ment. After graduation, Giammarese plans to go to college and hopes to play pro baseball. Even if he doesn ' t get a chance to turn pro, he will never forget the thrill of being on a winning state team. -Carolyn Stanek . Mark Hogenboom 136 Baseball Kaiser Finally Wins One continued trom page 134 Springfield where State was held. The regionals were played at OPRF and consisted of three games. During the sectionals Kolzow pitched a no- hitter, defeating St. Patrick 10-0. The first game played downstate, against Lincoln, brought Oak Park more fame. Another no-hitter was pitched by Pat McKune giving Oak Park a victory over Lincoln 11-0. The last game though, in which Oak Park played Brother Rice defeating them 8- 3, was when the OPRF 1981 baseball team realized its dream, winning the State Tournament. Citari, Hildebrand, Kolzow, and Mc- Cormack all had batting averages over .500 during the State Tourna- ment. A total of ten home runs were hit, three by Bell, three by Cirari, and Mark Hogenboom four by Hildebrand. The hitters also banged out four triples and eleven doubles. Hildebrand was named Most Valuable Player of the State Tourna- ment. The team was welcomed home with a parade on Saturday June 6, 1981. Finishing 30-4, the team ranked up more wins than in any of Kaiser ' s pre- vious 27 years of coaching. In the Suburban League they were 15-1. Kaiser remarked that this was the finest group of boys that he has coached. And to say the least, he was proud. When Junior K.J. Phelan said, It (winning State) was the best exper- ience that happened to me in high school, he summarized the feelings of many of the other players. -Laura Rubin Helping to defeat York 9-6, Charlie Vanek slides head first into third base.

The runners consistently showed their experience and ability at the sport. The varsity lost 1 of 13 meets and the junior varsity finished undefeated. Dedication was also a shining qual- ity. All runners have their own specific out-of-season running regime that helps to produce a better rounded team. Oak Park ' s girls were no excep- tion. State competitors Margaret Manion and Amy Henschen stayed in shape by distance running and weight lifting. Henschen sprinted and ran hills, Manion was involved in Cross Country. The hard work seemed worthwhile when the glory came. The team was invited to the annual Palatine Invita- tional Relays where they took 3rd. Manion was elected Most Valuable Female Athlete. The next major test was the confer- ence meet. Henschen set a record for the 400 meter dash and Manion set one for the 800 meter run. The 800 meter medley relay team of Lori Car- roll, Sue Mobed, Maggie Sullivan, and Nora Valdez also made the books. In all, the girls ran away with a clear first place victory. The girls captured another first place at the district meet making many of the runners eligible for state competition. Among these were Henschen for the 400 meter relay, Manion in the 800 meter run, and the mile relay team of Henschen, Valdez, Andrea Mullenbach, and Margie Regan. Man- ion placed 3rd in the 800 with a time of 2:14.7. Although the team had hoped for a better performance at state, they felt proud of themselves for showing their superior athletic ability throughout the entire season. Coaches Glenn Coth- ern and Gregg Dukstein agreed. -Laura Lesondak Good luck comes in threes. Anne Culkeen. Helen Doktycz, and Julia Andersen pace each other while competing in the mile.

People were jogging, throwing, jumping, vaulting, and sprinting everywhere. You ' d hear someone shout, Clear one and two! A whistle would blow and two sprint- ers would run.

Practice paid off for the trackmen last year. We had a very successful season, said Slack. The track team placed second in the Oak Park Re- lays, and didn ' t lose a single, dual or quad meet. They also won the first two of the three events in the triple crown of track, conference, districts, and state.

Kicked Upstairs After an excellent season with the Boys ' Track team, Head Coach Jerry Slack traded in his stopwatch for a wall clock. Slack gave up coaching to re- place Rudy Witsman as head of the boys ' P.E. department. Due to Slack ' s experienced coach- ing, the ' 80- ' 81 trackmen finished first at districts and sent many individuals to state. Throughout his 18 year coaching ca- reer at OPRF, one of the things Slack enjoyed most was watching the trackmen grow. Slack said, I en- joyed v atching them progress and shave seconds off their times. As head of the P.E. department, Slack taught fewer gym classes and assumed more administrative responsibilities. , -Carolyn Stanek Dean Godellas Steve Patrone and Marc Quinlivan concentrate on the still unbroken tape as they clear the last obstacle in the 100 meter high hurdles. 142 Boys ' Track s I I 1 Joe Kirchner runs away from the pack at the Hinsdale Central Relays.

The fact that OPRF does not have an outdoor track did not hinder the track team. According to Coach Slack, they didn ' t dwell on it, so it didn ' t have a major effect on the sea- son. The only effect of having all their outdoor track meets away was that the fan support was diminished. A runner also has problems pacing him- self on a track that he ' s not used to, commented Slack. The fans at the indoor meets were mainly members of the Girls ' Track Team and parents and friends of the runners. Some girls also played a ma- jor role in getting the meet off the ground. Most of the track officials were parents of the runners. OPRF is unique in that the officials worked on a volunteer basis. Track is not an image sport, said Slack. This explained the lack of sup- port from students other than the Girls ' Track Team. Fans go and see people run around the track and think, ' This is exciting? ' You have to be a runner to appreciate the sport. Those able to appreciate the sport realized that the track team had one of its finest seasons. -Mark Hogenboom 1 1 Boys ' Track 143 Polo Players Pool Talent, Splash To 2nd In State Six Players Make All-State Team, Lovaas Named Illinois Co-Coach of Year earn spirit, hard worl and experience were the main i eys to the great success of the 1981 Water Polo team. Even though their finish of sec- ond in state was the worst they ex- pected, they were still pleased with their performance. There was no doubt in our minds that we would do well at state, said Coach Bill Lovaas, who hoped to win the title. The team members had been coached by Lovaas since they were freshmen. Except for one sophomore, all the starters were seniors, making the team a real working unit. That was what carried them through their ex- tremely successful season. Water polo, a heavy contact sport, is like playing football without pads, commented Lovaas. The team was the strongest and fastest team I have ever worked with. Not only the starters, but substitutes, ev- eryone, came through on tough games. For their first year ever. Oak Park beat crosstown rival Fenwick and also defeated Loyola in the state semifinals. But at the finals they could not defeat Brother Rice, whom they had defeated earlier in the season. At the state tournament, though, Dave Kiolbasa, Dave Ashley, Mike Schuer- ing, George Lindstrom, Scott Kerth and Peter Quinn were named all-state players. Lovaas was named 1981 Illi- nois Boys ' Water Polo Co-Coach of the Year. Overall the season was very satisfying for the players and coaches, said Lovaas. We achieved our goals and grew together as a team. -Lynn Heppes Caught in a rare moment of hesitation. Bob Spatz pauses to aim and execute a pass.

Gymnastics required constant physical and mental attention. These athletes jogged, lifted weights, stretched, and practiced their rou- tines more than three hours daily. In addition, they worked out Sundays and holidays both in and out of sea- son. All the hard work paid off, as the team compiled a 7-1 record and fin- ished second in conference. At the state meet Dave Czyzewitz took fourth place in vaulting. Sanford Connors competed on the parallel bars, Bill Coghill in vaulting and Joe Vignola in floor exercise. Vignola, the first to do a double back flip in years, won the Most Valuable Gymnast award. Injuries hurt the team ' s chances at state. Jim Czyzewitz was unable to participate due to a broken ankle. A slight miscalculation causing an injury to an individual hurt the team as a whole. Although the fan support was limit- ed due to the Huskies ' only having one home meet, the gymnasts had a successful season. -Doris Wedemann 146 Boys ' Gymnastics Tom Young An example of discipline and strength is shown as Webster Daniels performs a V on the parallel bars.

The feeling was one 1 of relief and relaxation. But for players on the badminton team, relaxing was the furthest thing from their minds. They had already been exercising for a grueling forty minutes to condition for upcoming games. The girls worked hard. They put out at practices, they stayed late and they drilled, said Coach Mary Jo Peterson. The long practices and continuous drills really paid off for the team. They finished first in both conference and districts. Liz Masak and Gail Darcy played in the singles at districts. Caro- lyn Frissell and Joanne Humes played doubles along with Toni Moffett and Sue Marohn. All the players sent to districts qualified for the state tour- nament. At state the Huskies finished fifth. According to Coach Peterson they might have finished higher if Moffett and Marohn hadn ' t received bad draws from the judges. (Deerfield finished fourth just one point ahead of Oak Park.) The victories the team achieved in conference, districts and state put a fitting end to Peterson ' s first year as badminton coach. Peterson took the job out of real concern for the team as well as the sport itself. Working to make it the best program possible, she tried to make the school more aware of badminton as a competitive sport. She posted all the matches in the daily bulletins and encouraged people to watch the games. Even with little room for spectators in the third floor girls ' gym, parents and friends still came out to support the team. Although the atmosphere around the gym was anything but relaxed. Coach Peterson felt there was a les- sened tension between the players. There was always a camaraderie among them even when on chal- lenged another to gain a higher posi- tion on the team. If the challenger won and took over the other ' s position there were no hard feelings or sore losers. There was a spirit of friendly competitiveness among team mem- bers. But there were also frustrations when a player realized she couldn ' t achieve everything. A few times I knew I was playing bad but I couldn ' t do anything about it. I just felt like screaming, said Pam Ohm. Besides victories the badminton team had at conference, districts and state, many of the players discov- ered an ability within themselves to excel to a point that they never thought possible, said Coach Peter- son. This self awareness and discov- ery is very valuable to their self es- teem. It ' s what sport is all about. -Carolyn Stanek 148 Badminton Before an important match with Proviso West.

Over the I years more indoor courts have been available in the area, giving greater opportunity for players to practice year-round. Their training in- cluded weight lifting, jumping rope and doing a variety of drills to improve their game. Tennis coach Rudy Witsman retired last year, ending his career with one of my best teams in the past ten years. In all, Witsman coached 32 years, winning seven state champion- ships. His last varsity team finished with a 13-1 dual meet record, took second in conference, and won the district meet. The sophomore team finished 10-2. Top individual performances came from Dan Arends, who made the quarter-finals of the West Suburban Championship in singles, and Jimmy Nelson, who netted second in the sin- gles division of the West Suburban Invitational.

The hard work and dedication that the girls ' tennis team put in really paid off. The team sent both singles play- ers and both doubles teams to State. At State they finished 11th with 6V2 points, an improvement of 4V2 points over last year. Starting with a young team, I wanted to develop good team morale and as much potential as possible, said Peterson. Team spirit is hard because of tennis being an individual sport, said Holly Mead. This year the team played two ma- jor tournaments: State and the sec- ond annual Oak Park Invitational. The Oak Park tourney was expanded to include tougher competition. The players agreed that when they had tougher competition their level of play improved. Another source of advanced com- petition was assistance during prac- tice from advanced players. Many of these players who helped and also cheered were from the community. There was something about having someone pulling for you, said Mobed. Even though more fan support would have helped, Peterson felt that the girls had a more serious, dedi- cated and positive attitude. This atti- tude spread over the whole team and proved rewarding in the tennis team ' s outstanding season. This attitude is emphasized in team member Penny Pick ' s slogan, Say you can and you will! -Lynn Heppes Douglas Megow Resting between games OPRF ' s number one doubles team of Holly Mead and Sue Mobed con- centrates and prepares for an upcoming game.

Players such as Eric Michaelis also saw the value of daily practices. There ' s a lot of pres- sure on Varsity to win every game and the only way to win is to be in condi- tion, he said. Getting into the state tournament was the Huskies ' ultimate goal. After finishing fourth out of eight schools in their conference, the team went to Sub-Sectionals. In the first game against Hals Franciscan, the Huskies won 5-0. However, dreams of State vanished when Morton East won the second game on a penalty kick during the last ten minutes of play. Although they didn ' t make it to Sectionals, Ju- nior Gary Mayer felt, we played as well as we could.

He said, The main purpose of JV is to give the play- ers who aren ' t ready for Varsity a chance to play. We strive to win each game but there ' s a lot less competi- tion than on Varsity. The Sophomore team, coached by Doug Hunt, followed in Varsity ' s foot- steps by finishing fourth among eight teams in its conference. Coach Hunt felt the record was unimportant.

It had an exce ptional year, finishing first in its conference league with a 5-1-2 record. According to Assistant Coach Currie, Individual talent was out- standing and helped the team to form around it.

Last year as a new Varsity player, I could follow what the seniors were doing. Now that I ' m a senior, I find myself setting an example for the new players to follow, he said. Just as Wilkie set an example for new players, he also set standards for himself. He found his grades actually went up during the soccer season be- cause he couldn ' t sit around and do nothing. After graduating, Wilkie planned to go to college and play soccer.

Field Hockey: 3rd In State Girls Stick It Out After 1-3 Start The Girls ' Field Hockey team got off to a slow start, losing three of its first four games, I but in the second half of the season things changed dramatically. It was the Huskies ' second highest scoring season in history, with 25 goals. Their final record was 9-6. The offense picked up and the high scor- ing carried the team to a third place finish at State. There were several reasons for this year ' s success. Perhaps most impor- tant were some positioning changes after the first four games. After that the offense really began to work. Coach Liles explained the turnabout by saying, The team was peaking at the right time to obtain success. After winning five games in a row, which lifted the team ' s spirit, the mo- mentum carried us right into the semi- finals before we knew it! commented Junior Jody Crawford.

Junior Dawn Malone was named to the 1981 All-State team, not only for her person- al skills, but for her strong teamwork which contributed to her team ' s fine finish at State. This was the first year All-State players were named, but it caught on as a prestigious award. Last summer, Dawn went to a field hockey camp for five days and planned to go back again next summer to gain more experience as a goalie. Being a goalie is different from any other position because sometimes you get a whole bunch of action and some- times no action at all, she said. Dawn planned to make next year a frustrat- ing one for opponents and a gratifying one for the Huskies. She also hoped to receive a college scholarship for field hockey. -Lynn Heppes GiWs ' Varsity Field Hockey: Front Row: A de la Cruz, K. Garbe. K Allsen, K Bfown. E Magee. How2:C Soria. J Crawford.

Oak Park lost 1-0, when Edwardsville at- tempted 25 shots and scored one in the last ten minutes. The Huskies end- ed up in a tie for third place with Lake Forest. To Crawford, It was a great feeling to be one of the top four teams in the state. I am happy that we made it that far. Five of the players were chosen for the All-Tournament team, consisting of the top 24 players in Illinois. Two junior girls, Crawford and Dawn Ma- lone, and three seniors, Arzou Ashan, Arlene De La Cruz, and Eileen Magee, were chosen. The backfield this season was made up of all seniors. But Coach Liles felt confident next year ' s team would be able to compensate for the loss of experience. Only one player left from the forward line and the goal keeper, Malone, would still be there. So, besides having a great year in 1981, the future looked bright for the hockey team. Overall, the field hockey team had one of its most successful seasons. According to Coach Liles, the players earned it. To have a field hockey team work she said, they must work together as a team, like all of them did. -Laura Rubin Girls ' Field Hockey 161 Runners Have Ups, Downs 2nd In Districts, 6th in Conference At 6:30 am, when the majority of the student body was beginning to rise, the 1981 Girls ' Cross ' Country team was on the road and running. Unfortunately, not as a uni- fied team. We never got it all together, explained senior Mary Kay. This and the fact the team was com- posed of so many younger runners affect- ed the team ' s performance. Senior Mar- garet Manion felt negative attitudes. According to Kay, there was a lot of indi- vidual talent but it hurt because the girls weren ' t pacing and really pushing each other. The team also had to adjust to yet another new coach, Jose Sosa. He was the team ' s fourth new coach in four years. The girls rated him as a good coach and agreed, He knew what he was do- ing. Despite the difficult circumstances, the girls didn ' t fare badly. At Conference the harriers took sixth place. They moved up four places and captured second place in Districts. Traditionally, Sectional times determine who goes to State. Manion ' s fifth place finish qualified her for state competition. But she was the only girl from the Huskie team to go. Being the only one at State, you ' re alone, strange, she said. During the race she had bad luck as well. As she made her move to pass an opponent, they locked spikes and she was pushed into a tree, injuring her hip. Manion felt disappointed and really bad. Other team members expressed their surprise. Kay felt bad because it was Manion ' s last race during her senior year. She was sorry it had to end that way. Despite the end, the season was filled with new running talent, lots of hard work, and some of the strived-for team unity. -Laura Lesondak A track is a lonely place, but who could feel lonely with two of her teammates right behind her.

They knew that in less than fifteen minutes it would be all over, but the split second before the gun exploded they all secretly wished themselves dead. The shot rang out; pushing, shoving, gasping, the run- ners vied for their own space. This was how a Boys ' Cross Country race began. OPRF ' s team took ninth at State this year. It ' s only when it ' s compared to the hoped for second that the disappoint- ment comes in. They gave their best ef- fort but not their best ability downstate, explained Coach Dave Brooks. John Ber- an, this year ' s most consistent runner, said about State that it was nothing like other meets. So Big. It really psyches you out. The team ' s ace runner, Larry Head, ran a smart race, said Brooks. Unfortu- nately, Head was plagued with cramps early in the course and tripped during the last stretch of the race. He took third place. The Huskies consoled each other on the way home. If team spirit could win races we could have won State, de- clared junior Vic Guarino. Despite the disappointing end, the run- ners had a fantastic fall. They wrapped up their Conference season with a 7-1 re- cord. The Harriers participated in three invitationals: Proviso West, Gummerson, and fvlattoon. They took second, first, and third places, respectively. The Huskies did exceptionally well at the District meet and ran away with the first place trophy. At Sectionals the boys finished third, qualifying their top seven runners for state competition.

They took video tapes of their swings and later on analyzed them to see what they could improve on. Position, where and when they would shift their weight, and how they placed their feet were a few of the problems that the video tapes helped to correct. At the beginning of the season the golfers confidently set their goal on win- ning Districts. They had each spent al- most every day of the summer practicing. The hard work paid off when they achieved their goal, capturing Districts, with Bill Bower winning the individual title with a round of 72, John Economos finish- ing third, and Pat Loughran fifth. The Huskies hadn ' t won districts since 1972 and the golfers felt that this was the major accomplishment of the year. Good concentration was essential for the linksters. After playing poorly on one hole, one couldn ' t let second thoughts interrupt the rest of his game. Consisten- cy was a constant problem since many factors, including luck, contributed to a successful round. The Huskie golfers were encouraged not to lift weights during the season since it would throw off their swings. But strength was involved and most members participated in other sports throughout the year. Golf, contrary to what many people think, requires physical and men- tal strength as well as hand-eye coordina- tion, said Pat Loughran. -Doris Wedemann Having driven his tee shot down the right side of the first fairway, John Cutrone follows through. 166 Boys ' Golf .M Douglas Megow Boya ' Varaity Golf Front Row: B.

The Oak Park sinuffle, familiar to most OPRF athletes, echoed loudly through the practice fields as the football teams prepared for their weekend games. No matter who the op- ponents were, the shuffle was adapted to fit, with only one thing in mind — team spirit. The Varsity football team opened its season against Proviso West at home. The Huskies played a hard game, and with a minute to go in the fourth quarter, the score was 10-7 with Oak Park in the lead. On first down, a pass play was called. Proviso intercepted and used the remaining time to score a touchdown, giv- ing them the lead. After the game. Head Coach Ed Zembal admitted that his team should have kept the ball on the ground during the final minutes. But the Huskies ' season was off to a dramatic start.

This game proved to be another thriller, only this time the Huskies came out on top, with Tom Eckert scoring the winning touchdown on a 23 yard pass from Eric Kumerow with less than 30 sec- onds on the clock. It was a close game, said Eckert. Our defense never let up. Oak Park ' s next game was at home with York. A heavy rain Friday night turned Saturday ' s game into a mudbath. The only points were scored in the first quarter by OPRF ' s Kevin Bacon on an eight yard reverse. Despite York ' s finish- ing last in the conference, they were one of the toughest teams we played, said senior Ron Newcomer. In that kind of game, the team that scores first usually wins, said John Feilen. The fourth game in the Huskie season was played against Riverside-Brookfield. The R-B teachers had been on strike since the beginning of the school year, so the football team had less than a week of practice. Their lack of practice really showed, said Eckert.

But when it comes to broken bones, we can ' t be sure with- out an X-ray, Opela said. Mr. Opela attended clinics and took anatomy and bio-chemistry to prepare him for his job, but most of the knowl- edge comes from experience, he said. -Mark Hogenboom Douglas Megow Boys ' Freshman Football Front Row: Coach DeCesare.

Our offense really clicked; every play seemed to work. The game ended with the Hus- kies on the LT 1 1 yardline, anxious to score. But with no time outs, they could do nothing to stop the clock. Although the Huskies fell one touchdown short, they scored 23 points, more than one third of the total points LT gave up in a full 10-game season. A safety by Eckert, two ihn Tulipano touchdowns by John Hall, and one by Eric Kumerow comprised the scoring for the Huskies. Hinsdale Central was a very powerful team, said Eckert. Their linemen were huge, and their backs were all over six feet and at least 200 pounds. Both the Huskies ' starting cornerbacks were out, contributing to the OPRF loss. The Proviso East game was for re- venge. A Proviso touchdown late in the game last season kept the Huskies out of the playoffs. This year Proviso was ranked 19th in state, which made the Huskies ' 28-14 victory that much sweet- er. The Huskies finished their season with many proven outstanding players. Among them were Marion Matas, Eric Ku- merow, Tom Eckert, Frank Giammarese, and Jeff Giustino, who were named to the All-Conference team. -Mark Hogenboom Searching for a hole in the line, Erie Kumerow cuts back on a quarterback keeper. Football 171 Condensed Season Expands Ills Volleyballers Win Districts But Siiow Strain For the third time in a week the volleyball team hit the court. Because some schools I didn ' t have enough gym space for the volleyball and basket- ball seasons to overlap, the volleyball season was shortened by three weeks. The number of games in a shorter period of time put a strain on the players. Consistency was a problem this season. We lowered ourselves to the opponent ' s level, said senior Gert Riordan. If we played a good team, we would play well; if we played a bad team, we would play badly. Although it did not match the ac- complishments of past OPRF teams, the 1981 team did win districts, place second in conference, and place third in the Rich East Tournament. What the team lacked in exper- ience, it made up for with talent. Rior- dan won the Most Valuable Player Award and was named to the Subur- ban All-Tribune Team.. In addition, Maura LeFevour and Riordan made the Rich East Tournament Team, and Nancy Wohlford, Riordan, and LeFe- vour were nominated for the West Suburban Conference Team. Practice sessions included drills and scrimmages, but more games in a shortened period of time decreased the number of practices between games. A shortened season made a difference. It wasn ' t a positive differ- ence, said Coach Shirley Redmond. We would like to see the season re- turn to the previous date. -Doris Wedemann Douglas Megow JV Volleyball: T Walsh.

A coaching assistant was added, the new pool was in use, and many team members swam during the summer. During the season the team worked on speed, stamina and strength. I knew there was a goal I wanted to reach and I kept fighting for it, said Patti Kolnik. Not only did the swim- mers have workouts after school ever- yday, but a Saturday morning wor- kout was included along with morning workouts and weights every other day. The girls had the maximum number of dual meets possible, but the best performances were against tough teams. ' There is a big motivational factor against good competition, said Coach Marcia Hurt. Season highlights started with the Maine South Relay Invitational. The meet was excellent; we bettered our previous times and assembled a strong team effort, said Lynn Heppes. Top performances were also recorded at the Hinsdale Central and Lyons dual meets. At the finish of the season, the team was pleased. The hard work paid off in the end, said Carol Woods. Their 13th place finish at state was an improvement of four places over last year. The state team consisted of Heppes, Lorie Reid, Lau- rie Statton, Carol Stratton, and Woods. The 400 yard freestyle relay team finished fourth, while Heppes took eighth in the 500 yard freestyle and tenth in the 200 yard freestyle. Next year, all state qualifiers would return. Only two seniors would be lost and also a strong frosh-soph swim- ming and diving group would move up to add more depth. Coach Hurt evalu- ated this season as a stepping stone, commenting, We had a good season but there are many places where im- provement is needed, which will only bring us closer to our goals. -Lynn Heppes With adrenaline flowing, Patty Midlash prepares to hit tier double somersault against Downers Grove Soutti.

Current Pushes Swimmers Rewards Gained Through Tough Program t was tough waiting until the end of the season for re- wards, said Bruce Novis. But for many of the swim- mers it was worth it. After a dual meet season described by team members as unstable and lacking in spirit and aggressiveness, the team turned in a strong performance at it ' s district meet. Juniors Charlie Vanek and Novis took golds in the 100 yard backstroke and 100 yard breast- stroke, respectively, and qualified for the state meet in those events. Also qualifying for state were diver Matt Scotty, Novis in the 50 yard freestyle, and the 200 yard medley relay team of Charlie Vanek, Novis, Vic Vanek and Al Diaz. These swimmers cap- tured a 21st place team finish for OPRF at State. The medley relay placed tenth, Novis placed tenth in the 50 free, and Charlie Vanek placed ninth in the 100 back. At districts swimmers made great improvements in their times. The fas- ter times resulted to a large extent from the swimmers ' program. The program during the season consisted of 20 hours of workouts a week. It takes dedication, discipline and a real Reaching forward, junior Charlie Vanpi tal es a breath during the butterfly leg of the 200 yard individual medley against York, love of the sport to want to keep swimming, said Charlie Vanek. Other team members agreed the program is one of the toughest in the school but worth it. Coach Jim Lock comment- ed, It is a tough program and I ad- mire the guts of every guy on the team who keeps going. One of the mosi difficult aspects or swimming is that it is an individual sport. Freshman Vic Vanek said, It isn ' t like a team when someone can cover for you. You have to go and swim the race yourself. Individual ac- complishments, however, often re- sulted from working as part of a team. There was a strong positive attitude and a sense of others depending on you. The push from teammates and the coach was there when you need- ed it, said Cosmo Ferraro. This idea of strong team unity would be important next year, too. The team lost only three seniors so there would be a solid nucleus to build on. The team still lacks depth and has many holes to fill, but the returning swimmers would be bringing back lots of spirit, power, and guts. -Lynn Heppes MilM| tnni i ' ii i ii ' j iBMF M  i«« « i«iwMniijif|if([|i tfifirM ' ' ' ' ' ' W W John Tulipano Judges watch carefully for height and form ( freshman Chris Jacquat ' s back dive in pike positio ♦• r 176 Boys ' Swimming Douglas Megow Sophomore Boys ' Swimming Front Row: P Lloyd, J Henek, B, Scarlett.

In 1976, the Huskies became semi-finalists at the State Tournament. This year, the team had many victories in its four month sea- son. It finished first in the Thanksgiv- ing Classic held at OPRF, fourth in the Pontiac Christmas Tournament, and in January, beat York, one of the toughest teams in the conference. Another high point came w hen the team played Proviso East at the Rose- mont Horizon. The game, set up by sophomore coach Michael Averbach, was one of the most highly publicized and challenging games of the season. At the time of the game. Proviso East and OPRF were ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, by the Sun Times and were tied for first in conference. The players were under a lot of pressure, and were outplayed by the Pirates, losing 71-56. All in all, the varsity had an outstanding season, finishing sec- ond in conference. Although the Huskies sustained few injuries during the season, one key injury did hurt their chances. Junior forward Brad Garvin, who broke his foot after only six games, was lost for the rest of the season. Coach Bob Parker Commented, This hurt the team because Garvin was a potential starter.

Coach Bob Parker called him the big man inside who could shoot and rebound well. Kim- mons ' shooting skills often made him the Huskie high scorer. His talent, however was not limited to the basketball court alone. Off the field, he was considered the team comedian who always tried to loosen up fellow players before a big game. With Kimmons ' talent he was a good bet to be recruited by a major universi- ty.

The team also worked well together as a unit. This unity led the Huskies to a 21-6 record. What the sophomore team lacked in skill, they more than made up for in the way they moved. They hustled and scrapped well, said coach Mi- chael Averbach. The team ' s defense was strong, but the offense needed more work. The high points of the sophomore season included beating Hinsdale and coming within one point of defeating the second place team, Proviso West. Although there were only a few mi- nor injuries, the sophomores were not always playing with their five best starters. A few players quit to get in- volved in other school activities. But Nelson Thurman was very consistent. He was the glue that held us togeth- er, said Averbach. The sophomores ended the season with a 6-14 record. The freshman team was very talent- ed in spite of its inexperience. This year there were eight very talented players, opposed to the two or three of years past. Freshman coach Doug Hunt felt, The team has great poten- tial for upcoming years. I haven ' t seen this much pure talent in a long time. Although the team was extremely talented, it lacked spirit and effort. The players performed as individuals rather than as a team, said Hunt. Because of their individuality, the freshmen lost more games than they won and ended the season with a 6-14 record. Hunt, however, didn ' t judge the team by how many games they won and lost.

The high point of the season was when they beat their number one conference rival Proviso East. Spirit and enthusiasm were a main part of the game. Although parents, close friends, and members of the Boys ' Basketball Team stood behind them and attend- ed their games, the team believed that more fans would have helped. Girls ' basketball this year consisted of varsity, sophomore, and freshman teams, rather than varsity JV, and fresh- man teams. OPRF did have a JV team that played other schools, but the scores were not recorded. The only returning senior on the starting line-up was Carol Feeney.

Endurance, train- ing, discipline, strength, agility, and desire, is what John Toes Phelan thought it took to be an outstanding wrestler. Training was a key tactor in pro- ducting a star athlet e. Practices in the morning began at 7:00. The team ' s usual workout was to first run a cou- ple of miles and then lift weights. The afternoon practices would be from ninth period until around 5:30. These consisted of running, calisthenics, working on technique and wrestling. If you were even five minutes late for a practice, you would have to run an extra mile the next day. Sophomore Josh Chambers said, The practices were tough and afterwards you really knew that you had a good workout. In addition to hard practices, most wrestlers had to watch their weight. Before each match or tournament, each wrestler was required to weigh in. A wrestler could not be above the weight he wrestled at. The heavyweight class required that you would be above 185 pounds. If a wrestler did not make weight, he was not allowed to wrestle. To make the weight some wrestlers would not eat for two days and jog extensively, try- ing to sweat off the extra pounds. The team ' s dual meet record was a poor 3-15. Though the Huskies record was disappointing, the tournaments showed a brighter side. At Rockford, the largest tournament, the Huskies finished in the middle of the pack, coming in eighth out of sixteen teams. At the OPRF Invitational the Huskies took second place out of eight teams.

Phelan had finished a complete workout by the time most of us had left for school. After school he would run and wrestle again. You just can ' t stop, he said. Why did he wrestle? I often ask myself after a hard practice, but when you beat a tough opponent, you know you ' ve pushed yourself to the limits. Phelan was captain of the freshman team and was promoted to the varsity for half of his sophomore season. He wrestled in the heavyweight division. This year his record was 25-2, with 1 1 pins. Despite an injured knee and em- pitago, Phelan was able to maintain this exceptional record. He said he owed much to the people around him. I have been helped a great deal by Coach Sam Carson, fellow wrestlers and other coaches.

One wrestler who was missed a great deal this year was Senior Pete Rogers. He suffered from a slow healing shoulder injury. This mishap forced him to miss the whole 1982 wrestling season. He was one of the strongest, most promising wrestlers on the team. After taking 3rd in State last year, his experience in Cham- paign would have been a great asset to the team. The team suffered because of his absence. There are high hopes for next year. Many new promising Sophomore wrestlers have moved to the Varsity level. This change in levels will give them the added experience that the team needs to succeed next year. -Laura Rubin -Kathy Rock After the first takedown, Paul Zavala controls his Riverside-Brookfield opponent. in Tullpano 187 An ending pose signifies tfie close of a routine.

But it ' s luck, especially bad luck, that can make or break a team. This year ' s 1981-82 Girls ' Gymnastics Team suffered a series of serious injuries, frustrating it ' s highest hopes. First, varsity gymnast Angela Rago fractured her ankle during the first meet. Then JoEllen Scully tore liga- ments in her knee while attempting a techt full twist dismount on the un- even bars. Finally, previous state competitor Lisa Dubowski fractured her ankle while tumbling during prac- tice. To fill the void left by the injured girls. Coach Kathi Kyrias chose from the ranks of the freshman and sopho- more teams. This resulted in a very young and inexperienced team. It gave young gymnasts a chance to compete, and a very experienced team will be coming back next year, said Kyrias. Kyrias was recently honored as an outstanding Girls ' Gymnastics Coach. Her team was one of the thirty-six Women ' s Teams to earn Ail-American Team Honors by the National High School Gymnastics Coaches Associ- ation. Although the girls performed as well as they did last year, they finished lower in the conference meet because of stiffer competition. The number of points that earned them second place last year won them fifth place this year. All in all, the team was satisfied with its 9-2 Conference record considering the bad luck and the rapid turnover they had to deal with. -Laura Lesondak A symmetrical stance prepares Carol Dalton for her dismount.

Leading Spirited Chants Hard Work Makes It Look Like Fun At almost every athletic event that students went to, the fa- miliar sound of girls chanting I cheers was in the air. What most students didn ' t know was how much work the cheerleaders did to raise school spirit and provide enter- tainment. For all squad tryouts, each partici- pant was required to do gymnastic feats, show coordination, and have the ability to project her voice. Once on the squad, each girl was required to attend practices, depend- ing on the squad, three to five times a week. During these practices the girls would learn and perfect cheers for the upcoming game. Sophomore Kris Ben Fischer In a tough game against Fenwick, |unior Karen Neufeldt relieves the tension of the crowds with her smile. Broggi, a member of the football- basketball cheerleaders, comment- ed, The practices are hard, but it ' s worth it. The football basketball cheer- leaders also went to camp at Cham- paign- Urbana to learn new cheers. Broggi said that they worked hard. In the day, they had to learn the cheers quickly because at night there were usually competitions to win spirit sticks and ribbons. Both the sopho- more and varsity squads won spirit sticks and ribbons for their talent. A new addition to the football bas- ketball cheerleaders was Coach The- resa Brennock. Brennock was a for- mer OPRF student herself. Junior Dina Antonelli, a member of the varsi- ty squad, said, At first it was hard to change coaches but it turned out that they. Miss Brennock and Mrs. Ur- banski, the last coach, were so much alike that it was easy to switch. All the girls felt that Brennock had been a great help to the squad. She pushed the girls to work to their potential and helped with their fund-raisers. With their other responsibilities, the cheerleaders attended send-offs for track and swimming. For money-rais- ers they held bake sales and sold con- fetti, sports programs, and calendars. All the girls enjoyed being on what- ever squad they were on. Broggi said, It was an experience. It was really fun and I made a lot of new friends. There is a real sense of excitement when you are able to get the specta- tors to join in with you. - Laura Rubin Throwing plastic megaphones into the eager Homecoming crowd.

Six . . . Seven . . . Eight . . . Get those kicks up! Smile! The members of the OPRF Pom Pon squad heard these comments in their sleep! Forty-five girls ranging from sopho- mores to seniors, began practice at 2:45 p.m. and continued until 5:00 p.m. every day. The girls began with twenty minutes of stretching exer- cises. They then assembled them- selves into two lines and began per- fecting the routine planned for that weekend ' s game. The reward for their hard work ranged from the applause of the student body to the Superior awards won at Showstoppers camp. Every member of the squad was expected to attend the Showstopper camp held at Eastern Illinois Universi- ty. The camp had various methods of recognition. Over half of the OPRF squad received recognition in the form of ribbons. The squad received a Superior trophy based on the final evaluation. All the officers attended another camp after they returned home, the Superstar camp. Senior officer An- gela Ciccio received the highest award possible, the title of Miss Su- perstar. The quality of the squad is getting better each year, comment- ed sponsor Lana Tencate. The improvement seen in the varsi- ty squad could be directly related to the excellent training given to the Frosh-Soph Pom Pon Squad. This is a training period, and we try to teach the basics and skills needed to pre- pare the girls for the varsity squad, commented Linda Johnson, frosh- soph sponsor. Many of the senior girls can remem- ber when the varsity squad used limit- ed costuming and did not participate in competition. There have been many changes since my first year. Each year our style gets better, sen- ior Ellen Cullinane commented. Cap- tain Mary Janette stated, I feel the varsity girls are tough competitors. Other squads are scared of us. We intend to win state. One thing has not changed over the years. The main reason for joining the Pom Pon squad is to have a good time, commented Cathy Burns. Good times do not always help to win the state championship, though; hard work and practice do. At state, the squad as a whole entered two dif- ferent categories, kick and jazz dance. The climax of the state com- petition was the eight minute show. Only 35 of the 45 girls in the squad were chosen to participate. The 1981 state competition was held at Downers Grove North, where the OPRF squad placed third. -Kathy Rock At the Halloween Day football game, the pom pon girls arrive masked and dangerous. 192 Pom Pon Varsity Pom Pon Front Row: fK Gourlay.

New Twist For Soccer Girls ' Team Formed he OPRF athletic department T expanded this year, adding Girls ' Soccer to its list of inter- I scholastic sports. In 1981, Girls ' Soccer was just a club, but enough participation enabled the change in sta- tus. The Girls ' Soccer Club was formed in 1982 after a lengthy discussion about two girls trying out for the 1980 Boys ' Soccer Team. If enough interest existed in the club, they would change it to an inter- scholastic sport. An important change that resulted was that Mrs. Brown could require the team to attend practice five times a week. She could also cut people in an effort to make the best squad possible. Another change was that as a club, the girls didn ' t have uniforms, but as a team they did. Although the girls did compete as a club with other schools in 1981, the team status is much better, said senior Ellen Gibson. With required practices, the team performs better as a unit. This was one of the many factors that made the 1982 Girls ' Soccer team a strong one. -Mark Hogenboom At one of the first practices of the 1981 season.

The Huskies finished the season with a record fo 14-25 overall, and a 11-21 con- ference record. Junior Gar Pappas was the team ' s top scorer with 56 points. Sophomore Jeff Powell had 31 points when he broke his leg in the Addison Trail game on January 17. Senior Steve Cro- mie went to the West Suburban Confer- ence All-Star game on February 10. -Mark Hogenboom Hockey 195 196 Outside Sports -. All Sorts Of Sports Students Participate In Non-School Sports After an academically challeng- ing day. many OPRF students liked to relieve their tensions I through sports. Some stu- dents enjoyed such team sports as field hockey, swimming and track and field. Others, however, chose to participate in non-school sponsored sports like horse- back riding, sailing, and skiing. Students enjoyed the freedom that these sports of- fered — no scheduled practice times or pressures of team competition. Horseback riding has been heavily ro- manticized by such films as National Velvet and The Black Stallion. But ac- cording to junior Sally Browning, horse- back riding isn ' t always as much fun as the movies make it out to be. Several times each week, Browning went up to Kenosha. Wisconsin to ride her horse. Perfect Monday. It takes a lot of hard work and there ' s a great potential for in- jury, said Browning, but it ' s a lot of fun. Another sport OPRF students enjoyed was sailing. Many students looked for- ward to a windy day when they could take a sailboat out on the lake. Instead of go- ing out on their own, others joined such groups as the Sea Scouts and Sea Ex- plorers. In these groups, students took day long or weekend trips all over Illinois ' waterways. In the cooler months, ice skating was a popular activity. Many students skated at rinks around the village such as Ridgeland Commons, or went further out and skated in surrounding area parks. Sophomore CO O q Students Mike Junias and Karen Gibson are 5 found ice skating at Ridgeland Commons. Sue Leach took the talent she had in ice skating one step further and was often found figure skating in Franklin Park. Leach perfected such moves as flips and spins by taking lessons and practicing each week. It ' s very hard, but I like the freedom 1 feel when skating, said Leach. Two other winter sports OPRF students enjoyed were cross country and downhill skiing. Cross country skiing was done around the village and in forest preserves while many students went downhill skiing at resorts such as Wilmont and Alpine Valley. A good sport on school nights or when you didn ' t have enough money for a lift ticket was bowling. Many students liked to compete against friends, but junior Tim Palmer found team competition more challenging. Palmer bowled with his four teammates at Suburban and Circle Lanes once a week. He enjoyed bowling be- cause he felt it required a high level of concentration. You can get away with playing a bad game of baseball and still win. In bowling, each person has to con- centrate and play well to win, he said. Students were involved in school spon- sored sports such as baseball, football and soccer as well as in out of school sports like horseback riding, sailing, figure skating, skiing and bowling. It just goes to prove, it takes all kinds of sports to please all kinds of people. -Carolyn Stanek Outside Sports 197 You. Your friends. Your teachers. The ad- ministration. The staffs. These were at! kinds of people who made up OPRF. Your interests, both in and out of school, added another dimension to conversations among students and faculty. People could be heard talking about who was going out with whom, what they were learning, and whose locker just got the shaving cream and wrapping paper treatment. Friends talked about whom to ask to Prom and what to do on Saturday night. Classmates studied together. Deans reminded students to sign up for ACTs. And teachers attended professional seminars, in addition to having casual tennis tournaments. When all kinds of people came to OPRF to learn and work, people were exposed to all kinds of beliefs and new ideas. They soon learned to work together when they learned that it takes all kinds.

This year many seniors joined the Explorers to do all of these activities and more. There were three different Explorer groups in the Oak Park and River Forest area. The groups were organized at St. Giles, St. Lukes, and West Suburban Hospital. The main goal of the St. Giles and St. Lukes posts was to have fun. They went on camping trips, ski trips, and canoe trips. As a fundraiser, the group had a hot dog stand at Oak Park ' s A Day in Our Village. Johanna fvladden, a member of the St. Giles Post, said that being involved with the Explorers kept me in touch with the people of my church, because most of the members are from the St. Giles parish. The West Suburban group was interested in exploring the medical field. Students learned about hospital procedures and various medical careers. They had planned to view surgery and organize a disaster drill. In this simulated disaster, the students were a group of accident victims being admitted to the hospital. The victims checked to see what mistakes, if any, were made by the hospital staff. Being a member of the group was a learning experience that was also fun. One member.

Maggie Downs was Junior Princess at a club called Job ' s Daughters, Job ' s Daughters is the youth group affiliated with the Ma- sons. To join you must be a girl between eleven and twenty- one who believes in God. Maggie ' s father encouraged her to join when she was fifteen. There are nineteen stations Job ' s Daughter girls may hold on their way to becoming Honor Queen, the highest station. As Junior Princess, the third station on the way to the top, Maggie ' s responsibilities included keeping a scrapbook for the Honor Queen and helping with the installation of new members. Maggie was trying to work her way through all the stations until she would be Honor Queen, but before she could do that she had to be elected into the five line station (part of the nineteen.) Each term is six months long. After your term as Honor Queen, you become Past Honor Queen. If you reach this position before you turn twenty-one, you can occupy another station or withdraw from J.D. Each meeting was held on the first and third Thursday of the month. At each meeting everyone puts on a long white Gre- cian robe with a cord that wraps around the neck and waist. The princesses wear the Grecian robes with purple waist capes and crowns. The Honor Queen wears the same, but with a longer cape. Maggie found the group a rewarding experience.

Seeing another nation, meeting people, and making friends of a different culture were common reasons for going on foreign exchange student programs. I thought it was a unique experience living in another country, said Juan Carlos Carrillo, He went to Italy for two months in the summer. He felt the trip made me grow more individually. Doris Wedemann stayed in a town near Heidelberg, West Germany, her junior year. From there, she visited Austria, Italy, Luxembourg, and Iceland. She said her travels left her more open-minded and expanded her knowledge of the Ger- man language. It gives you a chance to learn how the people talk, she said.

Senior Mark Jepsen spent his last four summers working for the Oak Park District, umpiring various leagues in Oak Park. The last two summers he worked with Mike McKune umpiring the Bronco league. The Bronco ' s league was made of Oak Park ' s toughest 11 and 12 year olds. Nobody loves an umpire and yet every weeknight between 6 and 8 pm and every Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 am until 5 pm, from May through mid-July, these guys were out on the field being disliked. Why? I love the sport and wanted to stay in touch with base- ball, said Mike, and the money isn ' t bad either. After a while they learned how to cope with the problems. Don ' t stand for arguments. Never switch a call or make up for one later in the game. Be confident and you ' ll gain re- spect, said Mark, who has also had experience refereeing football games for the Park District. Mark began umping four years ago when his brother re- cruited him for a girls ' Softball league that was short on umps. Now Mark, Paul and even their father take time out each summer to ump. Before every season, Mike and Mark attended school in March for three hours every weekend. There, they reviewed the rule book and discussed technique. They both agreed that you could never learn enough about the game and that the best way to learn was through experience. Sometimes though, they learned too late. Mark said, If you ever mess up on a call on the field, you ' ll never forget it. -Karen Faust Umpiring takes concentration to avoid confusion on a cair After two years of umping, Mike McKune and Mark Jepsen can still make mistakes. -Chris Balsamo Umps Seniors 207 Mygk Amidl [L(i (o](ol (Fg)[hiD(p) i](oiD(o)u x k A y parents brought me up to set the highest possible V goals for myself, and not to stop trying until I ' ve reached them.

In eighth grade Robyn thought she ' d like to be student body president and all through her high school career she kept that goal in mind, until last year, when she reached it. She found serving as a leader to be very satisfying. When you start planning something from an idea in some people ' s minds and in five weeks it turns into a Homecoming parade, football game and dance, all the hard work pays off, said Robyn. As if involvement in student government and music wasn ' t enough for one person, Robyn was involved in other activities also. She earned extra money by working in the bookstore and performed on the pom pon squad. For Robyn the squad meant helping the school become more motivated about the games. We need more school spirit and it ' s a way to contri- bute. Outside of the school. Robyn kept in touch with her church by directing the finances and keeping books straight for West- minster Guild, a division of the Women ' s Society at the First Presbyterian Church of River Forest. A workload like that would have run most people into the ground, but, The benefits far out-numbered the sacrifices, said Robyn. And she still found time to keep a 3.2 grade point average. -Karen Faust Helping people, like Dee Waco, is one reason Robyn Menna gets involved. . l ,hn Rnchariiy r TAKES SEMIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIO Robert Gardiner Gloria Gargiulo Lisa Gaydos Patricia Gentile Michael George Denise Gerig Frank Giamnnarese Tracy Giattina Ellen Gibson Joseph Gilman Helen Giuntini Jeffrey Giustino Renee Glende Kirk Glienke Shauna Goddard Ellen Goldthw aite Richard Gongol Julie Grana 208 Seniors Involvement Daniel Green Michael Greenholt Anne Greenlee Kathryn Gregg Mark Grennan Monica Gretz Lori Grizaffi Theresa Guarino Steve Guerino Kacy Guess Kevin Gujral Erez Gur Deborah Guralnick Michael Haben Jonathan Hague Jeanne Hall Deborah Hammond Nora Hans MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIOR Paul Hansen Mark Hanson Moon Hi Hanson Carin Haresign Loren Harman Michael Harris Annette Hatch Barbara Hawkins Karen Haworth Laura Hayes Patrick Hayes Scott Haynes Larry Head Daniel Hegarty Karen Hell Martha Heine Spencer Helwig Brian Hendrickson Involvement Seniors 209 Jon Heneghan Martin Heneghan Amy Henschen Michael Herbert Karen Hicks Thomas Higgins Barbara Hildebrand Palmer Hinds Beth Hirschberg Miriam Hisbon Carrie HIavacek Amy Hoagland T4KES SmdRS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS m4i l@@t IT© [p(si§if [pf g inii? IFyifiuKr© Graduation — over the past year this word has meant a variety ot things to all the students at OPRF. To some it was recognition for four years of hard studying. To some it meant saying good-bye to good friends. Some felt it was just a ceremony, while others couldn ' t wait to get it over with. A common bond among all the graduates seemed to be a sense of moving on and growing up. Seniors looked back on their years at OPRF and also looked forward to the years to come. Some of the ideas could best be put in the words of the seniors themselves. I don ' t want high school to end. It ' s been better senior year than ever. -Emmet Lynch It ' s the culmination of a lot of good times. I plan to contin- ue what I ' m doing now on a higher level. -Kevin Maloney I feel it ' s really going to be great because after that we ' re all going to be free. At the same time it ' s like losing a part of your life here at Oak Park. It won ' t be the same. I ' ll miss Oak Park. -Ramil Fajardo I ' m happy about it. I think it will be a success. -Eddie Dobbins Four years went by quickly. OPRF is a school where there are so many opportunities that if you use them all right, you can do really well, -Sean O ' Conner After graduation it ' s a test of yourself as an individual. -Dara Carr 1 like the fact that you get up there in front of everybody ' s parents and you graduate with all the other people and you get the diploma from Dr. Botthof or Dr. Swanson.

Once you ' re out of there, it ' s like coming into manhood, or coming into college. You ' re ready for academia in it ' s true form. I ' m not nen ous about going up and grabbing the diploma. Oak Park has really prepared me for college. I ' ve learned a discipline here. I ' ve been able to do a lot on my own. -Phil Lortie I think it ' s going to be fun — graduation.

This was especially true during the basket- ball and Softball seasons. Eligibility cards were given to the coaches and bad grades could put an athlete off a team. Although school had been easy for her, she nnaintained a balance between sports and her grades, OPRF ' s best female athlete had come a long way. When her older sister coached Ascension School ' s softball team, Carol got interested. That was in sixth grade. She tried out for the team and had played softball ever since. During the summer, she played in a softball league. But in the winter, she commited herself to the basketball team. Bas- ketball was almost second nature to Carol, since she had played for many years. She put in a lot of hard work during long hours of practice and conditioning, sometimes suffering injuries. After her graduation, Carol hoped to be playing on the basketball and softball teams in college. But if her knees don ' t hold up, she wanted to try coaching. Coaching seemed to be the next best thing. What did it take to become a good athlete in any sport? Talent, hard work, lots of determination. Look at Magic Johnson . . . Nancy Lieberman . . . and you ' ll see that it pays off. -Chris Soria The girls ' north gym serves two purposes for super senior Carol Feeney At 7:30 weekday mornings, she attends softball practice and then returns after school to work on her block ing maneuvers.

OPRF contin- ■ ued its eight year program that provided the unique opportu- nity for students to give blood in a familiar place and among friends. This year ' s drive sent 572 pints of blood to those needing it in the community. For those w ho gave, it didn ' t require any special skills or much time or energy. To many students it was their first time giving. Blood is something that you can give and this is the only way they (blood receivers) can get it. said Don Vogel, faculty blood drive coordinator, It ' s a unique kind of gift. Besides giving students a chance to donate, the drive gave some a chance to help by staffing the registration and refresh- ment tables and by escorting donors. Leading the student volunteers were Daily Chairpersons Larry Head, Heather Fer- guson, Robyn Menna and Wayne Deese. Deese also served as the Blood Drive ' s Chairperson. For the donors themselves, the drive made it easier to give of themselves. Many felt giving blood gave them in return a unique feeling of satisfaction in helping others. If you are attuned to it, you can sense it in the building on these days. It ' s a chance to give of yourself for the benefit of somebody else. It ' s a real caring situation, commented Vogel. Despite the discomfort involved, senior Kevin Irving planned on giving for his second year in a row. Kevin felt it was a worthwhile experience and said, When they stick that needle in your arm, you know you ' re giving something! -John Paul Inkmann Showing a smile, Jeff Tegge proved that giving blood was reward- ing He contributed one of the 572 pints that were collected at the Senior Blood Drive.

There were a few, however, who looked at things from a different point of view. Seniors Shauna Goddard, Melissa Gradel, and Hyong Kim worked during the beginning of the school year to prepare for a competition called A.R.T.S. (Arts Recognition and Talent Search.) Instead of concentrating on grades and money they danced, acted, and painted. A.R.T.S. was a national visual arts competition which re- warded its winners with scholarships. Its purpose was to affirm the conviction that the arts are essential in our national life and that the task of supporting the work of artists is a perpet- ual national priority. The organization sought to honor the most talented high school seniors. The competition was held in Miami, Florida. Shauna submit- ted a video tape of herself dancing to qualify to go to Miami to compete. In Miami she performed the dance routines on the tape. Her performance was good enough for her to be named as one of the nineteen semi-finalists. Melissa was a semi-finalist in her field — drama — also. Like S hauna, Melissa sent in a video tape to qualify. Along with tapes of her reciting dialog, she sent in a book-long essay. In Miami one of the requirements was for Melissa to do a cold reading. Cold readings are readings you ' ve never seen before, and the judge will say, ' You take A and you take B. ' It ' s an improvisation, said Melissa. The third OPRF semi-finalist didn ' t need to improvise. Hyong ' s field was painting. In the competition he painted a still life and an impression of an assigned book or story, and he created a sculpture. An accomplished painter, Hyong had already sold some of his paintings, and had some of them shown in the Art Institute in the spring. Shauna, Melissa, and Hyong were among 140 semi-finalists named in the A R.T.S. competition. Ten of the semi-finalists would eventually become Presidential Scholars and fly to Washington to dine with the President. -Kathy Wright John Tulipano The Arts Recognition and Talent Searcti judged paintings like this one by Hyong Kim and named him a semi-finalist in the competition.

Some OPRF students tried to live out their fantasies through music. They formed rock and jazz bands and looked for audiences to listen. But being in the limelight w asn ' t always all that it was cracked up to be. Bands like The Crew, made up of seniors Mark Moscinski on accoustic guitar and vocals, Mike Romano on drums, and Nick Kiosis on bass guitar, and sophomore Mark Hague on lead guitar didn ' t have plans after high school. But before college they played for parties and friends and were widely accepted among high school students. Their biggest problem was staying dedicated enough to stick to a regular practice schedule so that embarrassments while performing could be avoided and a wide enough selection of songs would be available. Even when problems did occur, though, the audi- ence was kind since it was made up of friends. Other groups like the Explosions, with OPRF senior Charles Abbale on keyboard (its other members attended different high schools), didn ' t always have the same understanding audiences that The Crew enjoyed. For Charles, playing was a job, although he loved his work. The Explosions made $400 and up for playing at small clubs and dances. Abbate ' s band wrote a few songs and Charles liked to play those tunes most of all. The good part about playing your own song is that people don ' t know what it will sound like yet. But when you play a popular song, people know how it sounds so you have to duplicate it. explained Charles. The Explosions did some demo-tapes as examples of their music. There was a difference between what they liked to record and what they liked to play on the job. We record what we like and what we believe in, said Charles. When we ' re paid, we play what the audience likes. Rock bands weren ' t the only kind of bands OPRF students listened to. There was a large jazz auidence here and a band called Out Of The Blues supplied a good variety of jazz and pop music for it. with seniors Mark Grennen doing vocals, Ben Stracke on slide trombone, Dave Treger on guitar, and Mike Haben on electric piano, and underclassmen on tenor saxo- phone, drums, bass guitar, two trumpets, and lead alto saxo- phone. The group got offers during the year to play for Hawth- orne ' s, Emerson ' s, and St. Edmond ' s graduation dances. With a group as big as Out Of The Blues, personality clashes could have been a problem, but one of the band ' s best qualities was cooperation. The size of the group also made it difficult to arrange rehearsals around everyone ' s schedules. But when they had to play somewhere they always found time to practice. Certain audiences can be intimidating and the thought that they might not be good enough to play for an audience could worry a band. But worrying makes you play better, said Mike Haben, and Out Of The Blues had never had a bad performance. After graduation some of these musical seniors planned to go into music as a major or try to go professional. Most just wanted to continue with their talents and let music always play a part in their lives. -Karen Faust Working late at night and sometimes into the early morning was routine for members of the band.

Invariably, the subject of working was associated with each thought. Whether it was to make money for college, a car, or that special someone, students looked for jobs like mad. Was there a perfect job ? Was there ever a decent job to be found? Who wanted to work late hours or Saturday nights or do a boring task or have a mean boss? fvlany felt that any job meant taking time off of doing better things. But some seniors found, if not the perfect job, at least a pretty good job working for the high school. Many different jobs were offered at the high school. Securi- ty jobs for weekend basketball games, cafeteria, cleaning jobs, bookstore assistant jobs, and other such positions were available to students. One student who worked in the attendence office was sen- ior Jenny Van Pelt. She spent the afternoon doing various odd jobs. She found working at the school very advantageous. It was good work experience and she still had plenty of time to do other things. It ' s an interesting job; after a while you begin to learn the names of the teachers and they become more friendly towards you, said Jenny. Another senior job was the one Ellen Silver found. She worked in the business office processing mail, using the com- puter for various things and sometimes helping the payroll clerk. This job also offered good experience for Ellen, as well as contact with people. It ' s a perfect advantage and I ' m learning the most out of this job, she said. Many jobs were available through the high school. At least two seniors found their jobs very rewarding and good exper- ience. -Romy Fitschen Attendance office work was fun and challenging for Jenny Van Pelt. 220 Seniors Jobs Michael Pittman Karen Platson Julie Pohlmann Mary Pontikes Lisa Port Keith Posson Heather Poulin Eric Poulson Dennis Powell Jonathan Powell Anne Prather Laura Preto i IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SENIORS IT MKES SEI Anthony Pretzer Linda Prinz Linda Pritchard Mary Prock Lynn Propoggio David Pye Scott Rae Angela Rago Patricia Rategan Margie Regan Carrie Rehkopf Jay Rehm John Rehor Doug Reichardt Mary Reimer Stephen Reyes Maria Rico Henry Riess Raymond Rigitano Paul Rinnan Jennifer Riordan Stacey Risch Molly Roach Mark Robare Jobs Seniors 221 Jeff Roberts Regina Robinson Scott Robinson Albert Rodriguez Julio Rodriguez Luis Rodriguez Peter Rogers Daniel Roman Jose Roman Michael Romano Dyanne Rooney Lisa Rowder Rick Rumoro Daniel Ryan Michael Ryan Christopher Ryba Rob Ryser Mary Sadowski MKES SENIORS IT TAKES SENIORS IT WKES SENIORS IT WKES SENIO David Salvador Tracy Salvia Brian Sanderlin Scott Sangster Anthony Santangelo Chris Sarabia Mary Sassone Catherine Saunders Nancy Savino Yousuf Sayeed Jane Scarlett Leah Schejbal Steve Schelthoff Nancy Schenone Kelly Schervish Sharon Schlorf Robert Schmeltzer Frederick Schmucker 222 Seniors Twins ITw© @(?

Most people couldn ' t tell them apart, but that didn ' t stop them from participating in the same activi-JB ties. We both have the same interests, said Dan. Marion agreed. When they started high school, the brothers hadn ' t planned to be involved in the same things, but both ended up trying out for football, and track and field. For tour years Dan and Marion played defensive football for the Huskie teams. Fortu- nately, their jersey numbers were different so the announcer and coaches could tell them apart while they were in uniform. During the track season, both threw shot-put and discus. Their distances were so close, both averaged about 55 feet, that they often switched off first and second places from meet to meet. Compared to other team members. Dan and Marion were much better, at the top of the conference, according to a teammate. However, the fraternal competition didn ' t seem to bother them. I want to win, so does he. But I ' d rather have him win than somebody else, said Dan. After four years of the same sports, similar classes, and mistaken identities in high school, Dan and Marion decided to attend different colleges. Although the comparisons and con- fusions didn ' t bother them, they both felt it might be time for a change. Common interests for Marion and Dan Matas also included weightlifting At an after school worl out Dan spots the bar as Marion bench presses. VnilVL.V V L.I IXi, l W i i .I IIV.

It would probably depend on the teacher. Seniors Joel Schorn and Paul Speidel must have thought a lot of Alfred Schoepko, because they were both enrolled in three of his classes. Heidi Juel, Henri Pearsall, and Melissa Gradel were each enrolled in two of his courses. Herr Schoepko taught in not one, but three depart- ments: art, music and foreign language. He taught art history, music literature and German. Schoepko had a broad educational background with a master ' s degree in music and extensive travel experience in Europe. He hoped his students would follow his example. I encourage stu- dents to study the humanities, he said. Apparently, students were pleased with Schoepko ' s teaching style. His enthusiasm really comes through. He combines all three subjects in each of his classes, said Henri Pearsall. According to Joel Schorn, having the same teacher three pehods a day provided a contrast to his other teachers. I get used to his style and begin to use that same style to think; I use a similar approach, he said. Schoepko made his classes both fun and educational. It ' s great to have a teacher who is not only knowledge- able, but who really loves the subject, commented Melis- sa Gradel. Schoepko helped his students develop their desire to learn. -Sheila Mahoney Most students found Herr Schoepko ' s ease and style of teaching both great fun and very enlightening.

This term could well describe OPRF senior Eric Brackett. After nine tournaments this year (including winning the Glenbrook South Invitational and reaching the finals in a big tournament in California), Brackett, along with his partner, senior Todd Martin, enjoyed the ranking of best debate team in Illinois and third best nationally. Brackett, who has been debating since his freshman year, first joined the team be- cause it sounded like an interesting activity; plus, it was highly recommended by other OPRF debaters. To be involved in debate one had to be a hard worker and totally committed to the team. After Brackett and Martin found out what case they were debating for a particular week, they spent an average of forty hours researching it. (An exam- ple of a case might be sex education in public schools.) But there was always the chance, explained Brackett, that we might be asked a question we hadn ' t prepared for, so a debater must also be a quick thinker. Brackett, who was offered college scholarships for his ex- cellent debating ability, didn ' t know if he would continue to debate after graduation. I really enjoy debating, concluded Brackett. I feel it is a great honor to have been ranked so high. It proves that hard work and dedication really do pay off. -Sue Sheehy Top Debater Eric Brackett reviews his notes to practice for an upcoming tournament. Practice payed off.

From Fresh- man Fun Night to Senior Munchies, this year ' s council really got things together. All of their activities and projects seemed to show caring for the students of OPRF and the community. Head of the group was President Eddie Dobbins, who led with the kind of sensitivity that make many feel he was the best person for the job. Eddie felt that the council was doing okay this year. We ' re happy with ourselves and our ac- complishments, he said. The council used an informal method of getting people involved; word of mouth. They felt that any other way couldn ' t bring the activities the dedicated support they needed. Co- sponsor Marlene Spicuzza said I ' m always a little apprehen- sive — ' Is this activity really going to come oft or not? ' But the informal method worked. Another unwritten aspect of the council was what SCC Secretary Oksana Iwasyszyn called school politics. The red tape of the school; what it takes to get things done around here . . . You learn how the administrators work, what their jobs are, she said. Together the Senior Class Council coordinated a number of successful events during the year. Although Freshman Fun Night was a traditional event, the council tried to do it with special flair this year. The Leadership Conference in October was to help all of OPRF ' s student leaders in hopes that they would go on to help their organizations. It was a nice activity because it involved a number of different groups. It took good senior leadership to do that, said co-sponsor Tom Graziano. I feel it ' s one of the best things they ' ve done. All in all, it was an active, creative, successful year for Senior Class Council. -John Paul Inkmann Row 1: L. Clements, E. Adier, E. Dobbins. A. Culkeen, W. Deese. O. Iwasyszyn, Row 2: P. Smith, A.

It may sound chaotic, but it was business as usual for The Uncalled Four. The band included junior Steve Marcotte, lead gui- tar, junior Andy Mead, rhythm guitar and lead vocal, junior Steve Matteson, drunks, and Mark Dwyer, bass and back- up vocals. Together since eighth grade, they practiced once a week for a couple of hours at Steve Matteson ' s home. Family life was sometimes disrupted by membership in the band. It was becoming an obsession in my life; in- stead of doing my homework I went to the guitar, said Steve Marcotte. You ' re going to spend $325 on some- thing you don ' t even know how to play? asked Steve Matteson ' s father at one point. Andy Mead ' s family always encouraged him. But my parents got a little nervous when I started forking out $400, he said. The Uncalled Four performed at benefit concerts and block parties. Once they set up in the sanctuary of a church during a retreat at 1:00 A. M. Each of them had the same idea of what they saw as the future of the band. If they stuck together and kept up with their originals and original sounds, it would keep them together.

National Chairperson of the Young Democrats, Carol did get an early start in politics. When she was younger, her parents always wanted her to learn about Chicago, She used to help local candidates by handing out pamphlets and buttons. Gradually she became interested in bigger and better things. The Young Democrats do a great deal of work to help get Democratic candidates elected into public offices. They propose ideas to encourage new membership to the Democratic party, help out at offices and answer phone calls from people with complaints or problems. One of their ideas this fall was to give each student involved a Political Science credit for participation. Two Chicago area high schools began using the system, but it wasn ' t official yet. The work of the Young Democrats was hard, but worth it, said Carol, It wasn ' t easy for Carol to be elected to her position. To be nominated, she needed fifteen hundred signatures from each of the five states of her region. This meant campaign- ing in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan, After she received the nomination, there were three conventions to go to. With each one, came something new. For in- stance. At the national convention in Philadelphia, I had the honor of meeting President Carter, said Carol, Being involved with the Young Democrats has given her exper- ience, insight, and an understanding of politics. Although there were approximately one million members in the orga- nization, Carol said, I wish more people would get in- volved, Carol planned to major in pre-law at Loyola University, and then possibly get her law degree at Harvard, And a future in politics was not out of the question, Maybe I ' ll even run for an office someday, she said, -Sheila Mahoney National Young Democrats Chairperson Carol Kuk studies political affairs in her free time IT MKES JUNIORS IT T4KES JUNIORS IT MKES JUNIOR; IT MKES JUI Julianne Dufty Greg Dwyer Erin Earnsl Krislme Eatinger John Eck Jean Ecken Shawn Edmonds Phil Edwards Valerie Edwards Sharon Eitz Marc Elhotl Christopher Eivart Jerome Ennght Maureen Fahey Robert Fairman Richard Fallon Hao Fang Jennifer Fedor Joseph Fedoruk Karen Fell David Ferguson Robert Ferreri Debra Fetters Mary Finnegan Roseann Fioravanti Romy FJtschen Terrence Fitzgerald Dornesa Fitzpatrick Mary Fitzpatrick Anne Flanagan Nancy Flannery Timothy Flannery Diane Flynn •Jeal Folgers lyna Ford Tammi Fort Laura Franco Kathleen Frank Maureen Frank Pamela Franklin Young Democrats Juniors 233 Carolyn Fnssetl Julie Froehlig Susan Frosl-Jensen Christopher Fuller Renee Fumo Thomas Fumo Michael Gaebler Charles Galante Carolyn Gallagher Debbie Gallagher Gary Garber Meg Garbult Lourdes Garcia Robert Garrigues Brian Garvey John Gary Esther Gatbonton Thomas Gawne Kim Gerrmann Adrienne Gervais Steven Gibson Carl Ginsberg Amy Giustino Gemma Gliori Paul Glonek John Glorioso Mary Godlewski Patricia Goeb Paul Goeke Carolyn Gooch Barbara Good Amy Gourlay Jessica Greenwald Barbara Greer John Grimes Jacqueline Grisby Karen Gronwold Laura Gruzalski Victor Guarino Ramon Guerrero BWm WKES JUNIORS IT MKES JUNIORS IT TAKES JUNIORS IT T4KES JUNIOR Ahmet Guler Kamala Gullapalli Douglas Gullo John Gustalson Monica Gutierrez Alice Hadac John Hall Monique Hall Bruce Halverson Lisa Halverson Harry Hambach William Hamilton Calhleen Hannan Christina Hansen Craig Hanson Lisa Harder Lynda Harpole Heather Harrison Lisa Harrison Robert Hart Gerre Anne Harte Gordon Hay Philip Hay Erik Haynes Christine Heiser Mary Heltrich John Helmke Lynn Heppes Mary Herbert Holly Herman Julia Herner Charles Hills Desiree Hinton Deborah Hirsch Sharon Hisbon Jetlrey Hisson Simone Hivick Michael Hobin Deborah Hoeflinger William Hoff 234 Juniors Sci-Fi P1|QS Mark Hogenboom Brian Holloway Mark Holm Evelyn Holmes Linn Hooks Holly Hope David Hoppe Scott Hopper Joan Hornsby Robert How ell Rebecca Hubble Elisabeth Hunt Claire Hutchinson Angela Inkmann Bradley Ipema Loren Jackson Mary Jacobs Nathalie Jacquat Adam Janette Nahlah Jawad Jacqueline Jendras Christine Johnson Deirdra Johnson Erik Johnson Karen Johnson Michael Johnson Sheri Johnson Sarah Jolie Yolanda Jones Elizabeth Jordan Susan Jordan Jeannine Joyce Carol Jurgus Beth Kalinski Kieran Kane Laurie Kane Ann Kanno Thomas Karras Gregory Karris Susan Kashyap ne MKES JUNIC [FcaKnUfogy Wmh Were you horrified or fascinated the last time you went to the movies and an ordinary character turned into a vicious monstor? If fascinated, you probably shared an interest with Dave Hoppe — special effects. Dave Hoppe worked this year for Cinefantastique, a magazine that dealt with special effects in horror and sci- ence-fiction movies. Cinefantastique featured articles on how the seemingly impossible movie-magic is made and revealed a whole world behind the science-fiction movies. Working at Cinefantastique was more than just a job to Dave because he learned about small business manage- ment and watched the editorial process at work. Although Dave ' s tasks were more physical than mental, packaging and preparing magazines and posters to be mailed, he enjoyed being part of a company s o unique. The atmo- sphere at Cinefantastique was exciting for Dave partly be- cause he worked with a tight-knit group who were con- cerned about how the magazine was going. Also, because Cinefantastique strove to cover so many facets of the science-fiction field, the finished product, each magazine, was looked upon with pride. Dave believed that science- fiction was a fascinating field, with a special appeal for young people, one that he felt very happy to participate in. For a high school student, Dave saw himself as lucky to work at Cinefantastique. Dave said, If you work at Cine- fantastique and don ' t get involved, it ' s not a lot different than any other job. However, if you talk to the editors and other employees and get involved working there, it can be -John Paul Inkmann As a part of his work at Cinefantastique, Dave Hoppe prepares a science-fiction poster for mailing. very interesting and exciting.

Junior Sue Magnusson did just that. She was a member of Teen Missions International, an interdenominational youth group. Sue spent five weeks in Sweden last summer to help renovate part of a building. Sue was part of thirty-four member team of people from all over the United States. Being with that many people for several weeks could be difficult, but Sue said, We all got really close. It was a long trip from Oak Park to Sweden. First the team met in Florida for two weeks of training, or boot camp. Then after taking trains, planes, ferries, and buses, they finally arrived in a small town near Stockholm, Swe- den. As soon as they arrived, they got to work. They knocked down walls, set up facilities, and dug trenches. Boy, did we dig a lot of trenches, said Sue. But it wasn ' t all work and no play. We did manage to get into town sometimes, she said. After finishing their work, the team spent a week in Scotland for debriefing, or as Sue put it, to be brought down from a spiritual high. Sue ' s trip was paid for mostly by sponsors. Friends and neighbors pledged certain amounts of money, and Sue paid for the rest. Working in Sweden was both fun and educational, said Sue.

People who make fun of church? These might be predictable reactions to a group called Holy Fools . It does have something to do with church and being funny. Holy Fools is a group of clowns sponsored by Ascension Church. One of the nine clowns for the Holy Fools went to OPRF. Junior Larry Bennett got started when he went to the circus. After that he l new what he was going to do, and that was to get his license in clowning. It took him nine months at a school called Sawdust. He went three hours, two times a week. He also took a class in panto- mine, Larry has been a clown for five years. He has participat- ed in parades, entertained in hospital wards (children and elderly) and performed at children ' s parties, just to name a few. The thing that made Larry happy was to make someone smile. Larry said, Sometimes you have to be careful when you ' re in a hospital. The kids love it when you beat up on another clown, but when you visit the elderly you shouldn ' t do that because they think you ' re really hurting each oth- er. Every clown has his own style of make up. It took Larry 35-40 minutes to put it on. First you do a sketch of faces, but you can only copy one feature of a clowns face, said Larry. If you copy more than that you will be sued and your license will be taken away. After you have created the face you would want to get it patented. It costs anywhere from $150 to $300 for a clown suit, but most of mine cost only $40, he said. He got off cheaply because his aunt, a seamstress, made his cos- tume. His advice to anyone who wanted to get started was, If you have a vivid imagination you ' ll make an excellent clown. If you have absolutely no color coordination, you ' ll make a great clown clothes designer. -Kathy Wright In one of his many costumes, Larry Bennett performs at a benefit concert.

Uu or fall out of the sky only to bounce back on your feet ... or swing like a flying bird? Junior Diana Lee did it, working with the Kosciuszko Park Circus Troupe, Circus Entertainment Unlimited as a trapeze artist last year. The Circus Troupe performed shows every couple of months when the weather permitted. They performed at Kos- ciuszko Park which was located at Diversey and Avers Streets in Chicago, The group practiced every day when a show was near; otherwise, they met once a week. All the money that was earned from the shows was put back into the group for costumes, rigging, and other needed equipment. Encouraged by her mother, a coach for the Circus Troupe, Diana took to the trapeze three years ago. It had taken two years of hard work and steady practicing before Diana finally considered herself good on the apparatus. Diana ' s trapeze was actually a free-swinging bar sus- pended thirty feet in the air for one person to have per- formed on. Such tricks as jump-off, jumping off the bar and catching yourself with your hands, and seats-off, falling back off the bar and catching yourself with your feet, were just a few of the many that Diana could perform. Besides the exhiliration of performing thirty feet in the air, working on the trapeze also meant danger. Diana learned that well last fall when her safety belt broke at a practice. There was no net to catch her and she fractured her hip, broke her wrist, and severely pulled tendons in her shoulder. But she said it wouldn ' t stop her from going back. After a bad fall like that, what could compel her to return to the trapeze? It ' s fun to be out there! she said. -Karen Faust Celebrating her good performance after a show, trapeze artist Diana Lee hugs a friend. ii HKtb JUNiUKb ii O JUiHKJKO 11 HIVCO jUlNlV-;h IT T4KES JUN Mark Shaler Sharon Shatler Kann Shaner Korey Shaner Michael Sheehan Susan Sheehy Wiiham Sherlock Charles Shillingion Krislen Shimon Nadine Shipley Roger Shoup Theodore Shubal Joseph Siciliano Lorelei Sikorski Suraphol Silasin Lisa Simone Mary SkeMington Roberl Skelton Thomas Skwerski Allison Stagle Alice Slaylon Anthony Slimak Carol Smith Cheryl Smith Kelly Smith Ladonna Smith Roosevelt Smith .John Solorio Jell Sorensen Roberta Sorenson Chris Hazel Soria Michelle Spagnola Trapeze Artist Juniors 241 MKES JUNIORS Mm@s§ Wh@ Wmt ' 7 ou saw who rode on that beautiful homecoming float.

CO., Presi- dent Charles Maienza, Vice-President John Creedon, Sec- retary Ellen Rybak, and Treasurer Anne Lewandowaki, had already been working hard for a month on many of the upcoming junior events. Then, when the meetings started, many different students with different interests and ideas showed up. Some came for the specific activities, some just submitted designs and some came because they were interested in student government and how these activities were run. For whatever reason they all jumped right in and worked. Anne had said after the first few meetings, We don ' t have a large council but the people who are in it are the Front Row: John Creedon. EllenLybak, Greg Collins, Bruce Novis. flour 2r Mary Downs. Rebekah Sager. Francesca DeTrana, Mike Tuma. Steve Norvid. Back Row: Nia Christo- workers. And that ' s what ' s important. What made this year important and different was the fact that the class now had a main project to focus on, Prom. The officers spent much of their summer working on the details. Where it was going to be held was one of their main worries. They eventually decided to move it to the Marriott. Other things the students worked on were a good home- coming float, selling mugs, buttons and coupon books, working a lot with Spirit Week, and working with other dances such as The King of Hearts. It as a busy year for J.C.C. and many juniors contributed to making its projects successful. We are doing a good job this year and I ' m pleased, said Anne. -Romy Fitschen forakis.

They have been a way of life for sophomore Joan Glickman since she began playing the piano seven years ago. Playing extremely well has also been a way of life for nearly as long. Recently, she won the primary division competition of the Society of American Musicians and took second prize at the St. Paul Federal Competition. Joan also got a chance to compete statewide in the Illinois State Music Teacher ' s Association. Joan was actually introduced to the piano when she was four but she quit after her first lesson. I started again because I saw how much enjoyment my sister got out of it, and I liked hearing her play, she said. Her teacher, Niwa Elpuise, kept her mainly on classical music, but last year Joan got involved in some other types of music. The Jazz Band has given me another dimension of music to play and enjoy, she said. Joan was also involved with the varsity choir last year for the first time. She accompanied the choir at practices and concerts. This helped the choir at concerts and it helped me a lot with my sight reading, said Joan. She was happy with the music department at OPRF. The varied types of music and classes offer good opportunities: I ' ve gotten a lot out of them, she said. Joan didn ' t plan on a career in music but, I hope to continue playing throughout my life, she said.

Some do it L=i through team sports, some through clubs, some through academic achievement, some through music. Sophomore Mark Lewandowski expressed himself through playing electric and acoustic guitars. They gave him a way to relax and an outlet for frustrations. Mark started playing when he was in fourth grade. He still spends about thirty minutes a day practicing. Although he was a member of the school orchestra, rock and jazz were what he liked to play on his own. His parents were happiest when his volume was lowest, regardless of the style of music. My parents love it when I play acoustic, because it doesn ' t make as much noise as electric. he said. Besides giving him an outlet for self-expression, Mark found that playing music helped him make friends, too. He and senior Dave Tregger formed a jazz band called Out of the Blues. Dave, who had been playing for four years, also played electric and acoustic. He found special uses for each. There are some advantages to acoustic, he said. It ' s better for rhythm and folk, and it ' s cleaner. Electric is more sharp and loud. Another friend, junior Lisa Halvorson, provided another music partner. She preferred folk, classical and jazz.

Nick ' s life in the Yukon wasn ' t all play. He was expected to clean and operate a generator for the workshop, insu- late a cabin, and feed the trapper ' s twenty-five-dog sled team. In addition, he cut out the rough stock for the sleds to lash the joints together with leather strips. There are over a hundred types of dog sleds. We worked on racing sleds for a large Alaskan dog race, said Nick. The sleds are covered with polyurethane to protect them from the weather. In the winter the sled was usually tied to the top of a wooden box, which held a seven-dog team. This all fits on the back of a small pickup truck which can go to a suitable trail for a race, Nick said. The longest race lasted fourteen days and was fifteen hundred miles long. There was a foot stop every fifty miles. The dog team was changed halfway through to prevent the exhaustion or death of the dogs in the race. The prizes consisted of money or possibly a head dog sled runner. I will definitely go back. I love to climb and hike. I like the cold. After being there four summers, I am getting to know the area, Nick said. -Kathy Wright Gazing out the window, Nicholas Rennie thinks about another sumr;:er in the Yukon.

Grab air! What was Grab air ? Grab air v2J was just part of the vocabulary used by the modern bicycle moto-cross enthusiasts such as sophomore Thom- as Benton. The term meant to jump; and jump these new cyclists did, rising as high as seven feet. Benton raced, performed, and rode on moto-cross bikes. He took seventh place at the Indianapolis World Championship races during the winter recess. Benton practiced his jumping, turning, and tricks which were all important parts of this year ' s popular freestyle. However, they hadn ' t been developed to competition level yet. Jumping on moto-cross cycles was especially exciting because new, even stronger frames and tires had been developed. It ' s great! It ' s something totally different, you ' re seven feet off the ground, Benton said. Moto-cross races are over in less than 30 seconds. They cover a 900 foot long track packed with ramps, turns, obstacles, and straight-aways. The point of jumps in racing was not mainly to get height, but rather the goal was to get past the jump as quickly as possible and then land in a position ready to go. The fast and demanding pace of this sport once discour- aged contestants because of the fear of injury. But devel- opments, including helmets and lightweight padding have made the sport much safer. Also, cyclists were more willing to go all out. Benton said, You see more and more kids getting into it everyday. Benton did not see himself going on to motorcycle rac- ing. On a motorcycle, I ' d get blown away in racing, he said. Everyone else has been doing it for so long. But for jumping I think it would be a lot of fun. -John Paul Inkmann Turning in mid-air, Thomas Benton practices the art of freestyle . •• moto-cross jumping. -Jamie Balodtmas ► our hu f lyHKtOOUmU k ' lUKtbll iMtb 10RESITL4KESS ' Ronald Muccianti Caroline Mulheran Ellen Mullarkey Patrick Mullen Scott Mullenback Greg Mulroe Catlierine Murphy Kerry Murphy Ruth Murphy Sheila Murphy Debora Murray Sharon Nair Elizabeth Nash Dora Navarro Kalhryn Neil Ann Nelson Jennifer Nelson Mary Nenninger John Nettles Stacey Nevara Julie Nicholson Sharon Norman Jan Novotny Pamela Nowikowski Scott Nowlan Tim O ' Brochta Meghan O ' Connor John O ' Hara John O ' Meara David OHermann Kirsten Oliver Jil Olsen Moto-X Sophomores 251 Derek Olson Irma Orellana Joey Orellana Jason Ostberg C, Ousley Grantland Owens Deann Paparone Kevin Parks Larhonda Patton Cheryl Pazerekas Victoria Peaslee Reginald Peerman Laura Pehike Amy Pelka Timothy Penway Suzanne Peranteau Mary Perry Martin Phelan Tim Phelan Dominick Phillips Stephanie Phillips Jay Piazza Karen Pickard Gayle Pikrone Daniel Pilolla Loretta Pineda Michelle Pittman Richard Pitt Warren Pitts Julie Pollici Kimberly Porter Bradley Powell r MKES SOPHO MORES IT X4KES SOPHO HORES IT T 1KES SOPHO HORES IT T Edward Powell Elizabeth Powell Jeffrey Powell Kathryn Powell Daniel Powers Patty Powers Steve Prescott Patricia Preston Michael Preys Robyn Proctor llya Prokopoft Margaret Quinn Kevin Ramp Daniel Rategan David Rathbum Wendy Reed Raymond Reese Lorie Reid Gregory Reinhardt Timothy Relsig Nicholas Rennie Catherine Rentner Mike Rexroat Neil Rhebergen Kerry Riccio Scott Richardson Donald Richie Charles Rife Sean Riley Sheila Robertson Rita Robinel Wanda Robinson Wendy Roninson Meghan Rock Jacqueline Roeser Angela Rolfs Marc Rosenbush Mitchell Rosin Kimberly Rowe John Rumoro Melissa Ryan Patricia Ryan Gia Tybarczyk Richard Ryser Mary Saicker Vincent Sama Maureen Sammon Tina Sammons 252 Sophomores Stingettes Monique Sampson Kantanzia Sanders Eric Sanders Sleven Sandvoss Vermella Sangster Daniel Sass Kathleen Sauer Mary Saunders Mike Savanelli Lynn Sblendorio William Scarlett Dana Scalton James Schiltz John Schmit Judlly Schmitt Dawn Schreiber Robert Scott Joellen Scully Duane Seaton Lynn Segel Conla Sergeant Jenniler Shack Laura Shannon Bngid Shannon Carol Sharp John Sheehan Randy Shelby Elisabeth Shorney Stephen Short SacramenlQ Silva Deborah Silver Gregory Silveslri S SOPHO MORES IT I4KES SOPHO MORES IT T 1KES SOPH ' 10RES IT T 1KES ifooiKD ' ' IF(r©©y©i.

Besides tickets, sophomores Ellen Englehardt and Jenny Kruse received free t-shirts, buttons, hats, or team pictures. Ellen and Jenny were involved with all the indoor Sting games at the Chicago Stadium. They worked in coopera- tion with the advertising agencies who gave free merchan- dise to fans. Freebies were passed out before all the games by Ellen and Jenny and other people who belonged to a group called Fanaddicts. The Chicago Stadium contacted the school before the indoor season began to find a group of students who would be interested in volunteering for the job of passing out freebies. Of the fifteen or so who signed up, only Jenny and Ellen showed up to do the job. The Stadium then contacted a group of loyal Sting fans who called them- selves Fanaddicts to help. Jenny and Ellen became Fanaddicts themselves. Since we ' d be going to all the games anyway, this gives us a chance to meet other loyal fans, said Ellen. That was the idea behind helping out at the Stadium for Jenny and Ellen. In fact, they liked their volunteer work so much, they decided to go back next year, too. -Karen Faust Dressed in one of their yellow and black Sting super fan outfits, Jenny Kruise and Ellen Englehardt practice their favorite sport in the OPRF field house.

The require- ment for extra names needed to run for Council was be- cause of a lack of previous interest by the sophomores in their class. Class adviser Richard Deptuch said the new petition turned out to be a good thing because it allowed more responsible and interested students to be on Council and filtered out the less concerned students. A rough start didn ' t slow down the sophomore class when it came to Council activities. The class entered a successful float in the Homecoming Parade and played an active part in Deck The Halls. Later in the year the class sold Sophomore buttons and arranged the traditional Great America Trip. Council members voiced their opinions about activities and coming events, and were interested in having other sophomores give their viewpoints, too. Council was inter- ested in creating growing involvement in class activities. -Karen Faust Front Hew: P Kuk, M. Ryan. P Harrison, L Reid. Row 2: M Farrell, T. Klolbasa, K, Hotlman. K. Debits.

But Kim Costa could. She danced in the Nutcracker at the Arie Crovi n Theater. Kim had been taking ballet for seven years. Even vi hen she was younger she was willing to put in the hard work that dancing required. I don ' t really remember how I got started, but my mom said I wanted to dance, she said. Kim didn ' t go home directly from school like other stu- dents, but went to the dance studio for practice. She practiced until seven or eight at night and then she went h ome to eat, do homework and get some sleep. It was a pain to combine both school and dance, Kim said. She did well in both, receiving her role in the Nutcracker, and being on the honor roll at school. A disadvantage to having such a busy schedule was that Kim usually saw her friends only at school and on weekends. Tryouts for the Nutcracker were held in both Chicago and New York. Many talented young dancers tried out, hoping for parts. Competition was stiff, even for smaller roles like Kim ' s. This was my second year in the perfor- mance, so I had an easier time getting my part because of my experience, commented Kim. Having a part in the Nutcracker could lead to a reward- ing dance career. But Kim planned to continue to dance only for enjoyment. Dancing professionally required a lot of time and hard work, and Kim was content to dance for herself. -Sheila Mahoney Showing grace, strength, and agility, Kim Costa stretches at the barre.

Because of their caring and generosity, Jim received an organ for Christmas. When my block had a Labor Day party my neighbors realized I had a talent for music. Some other kids and I formed a band and were playing some of the music I had written, said Jim. Jim ' s neighbors decided to pledge mon- ey to buy him an organ. They began checking various organ companies for prices. When Wurlitzer Music Stores learned of the block ' s plan, they donated an $800 organ to Jim. Jim, who is confined to a wheelchair due to muscular dystrophy, had never had organ lessons or owned an or- gan. He had taught himself to play on an organ that be- longed to relatives. Since then he has written several pieces for the organ. He enjoyed playing in his spare time for both himself and his family and friends. Although Jim didn ' t read music, he figured out songs on the organ and learned them by memory. The kindness of Wurlitzer Music Stores was greatly ap- preciated by Jim. He said he would always treasure his gift and the thoughfulness of both his neighbors and Wurlitzer. It ' s great to live in a neighborhood where everybody cares for each other, said Jim. -Sheila Mahoney Jim Gassen plays the organ donated by his neighbors and Wur- litzer.

Freshman Laura Diaz could tell you what it ' s like. She spent two weeks in southern Illinois on an archaeological dig last summer, and she found that digging in the hot sun is a big part of archaeology. Laura became interested in archaeology through her brother Al Diaz, a junior at OPRF. He had gone on several digs sponsored by the Northwestern Foundation of Ar- chaelogy, and Laura decided that she wanted to go, too. She started by going on a two week program in Kampsville for seventh and eighth graders. They learned from lectures and demonstrations given by the staff. I really know a lot about archaeology now, she said. After these digs, Laura was eligible for the Super-Digger Program. This program was for experienced diggers to do contract archaeology, or digging for the state. Laura ' s group of eight students and three supervisors were as- signed to excavate a burial site in southern Illinois so that a highway could be built. They had to go over every piece of land on the site and carefully examine everything they found. We were up at five in the morning and working until six at night, she said. -John Boshardy Laura planned to go on another dig, possibly in Arizona or Australia. I want to go somewhere outside Illinois, she said. She had no major career plans involving archaeology, but I want to keep on digging, she said, but just as a hobby. -Sheila Mohoney After her excavation at Kampsville, Laura Diaz reflects on it. 260 Freshmen Archaeologist Elizabeth Ichihashi Todd Irving Amy Ivaska Cynthia Jackson Dina Jackson Christian Jacqual Baqer Jafteri John Janette Ann Jarka Namir Jawad Brett Jay Robert Jendras Gregory Jenkins Laura Jepsen Brenda Johnson Brenda Johnson David Johnson Herman Johnson John Johnson Charles Jolle Bruce Jones Conray Jones Frederick Jones Veronica Jones Justine Joseph Maria Junius William Jurgus Tony Kaczor Scott Kafka Steven Kalal Barbara Kaltenbach Mike Kamper Patty Kamper Dawn Kane Karen Kane Suhra Kang Tanya Karam Cynthia Karanikas Doug Keally Patrick Keenan Eileen Kelly Jeffrey Kendall Scott Kenneally Richard Keorkunian Kathryn Kercher Amy Kerwin John Keshner Chan Khang MKES FRESH MEN IT MKES FRESH MEN IT T IKES FRESH MEN IT T 4KES FRESH Hoa Khang Luong Khang Ellen Kiele Dionne Kimmons Aimee Kinert David Kingman Tracy Kingsley Jason Kinnan Harold Kirk Melanie Kivlehen Peter Klem Michael Klink Jason Klonoski Christopher Koch Sarah Kohn Mane Koko Margatel Kolnik Stephanie Kordick Kenneth Kotelman Kimberly Kowalski Mary Kralochwill James Krenzer James Krogh Jefl Kupperman Jeff Kurk|ian Michael La Salvia Sherry Laatz Philip Laforge Erik Lam Kathleen Lala James Laper Eric Larson Archaeologist Freshmen 261 Jeffrey Larson Kelli Lawrence Michael Lear Annmarie Leavy Paul Lebeau Edward Lech John Lee Keith Leilore Robin Leichenko Tifliney Leonard Tom Leone Lynette Lerner Sam Lewis Edward Lick Lisa Licko Laurence Lieb Ian Liebman Ellen Liebner Sarah Lietz Karen Lilly Gary Lind Angela Lizak Mary Lizak Brent Logan Dan London Mary Lopez Sarah Lueking Timothy Lyons Hung Ma Holly Machina Lisa Madonia Eric Magnusson 4KES FRESH HEN IT T 1KES FRESH HEN IT T 1KES FRESH HEN IT T 1KES FRESH MI Michael Mahoney Erik Massuschke Michael Maloney Candace Manaois Steven Mandell Michele Manion Anna-Maria Manuel Michael Marchetti Daniel Marco Amy Marcotte Kristin Marino Kristin Marino Charles Marquardt Jeft Marshall Jeanette Martin Sally Matthew Darlene Mayhew Elizabeth Maziarka Jill McClory Steven McClure Kristin McCormack Todd McDermott Julie McGarrity David McGee Kathleen McGrath Patricia McKenna Julie McNamara Andrew McVey Adam Mead Rory Meko William Mengert Mark Menna Rebeccaa Menna Michelle Meo Michael Mercurio Michalle Merwald Karen Mevs Christopher Meyer Teresa Michael Dino Mihas Kimberly Miles Eric Millar Christopher Miller Michael Miller Michael Miller Donald Minnoch Adam Mitchell Roxane Monaco 262 Freshmen Scuba Diving P lpDy D[n)V(o)[]V(i (a! rUl ow well do you know the feeling of weigfitlessness far LTli underwater among tfie flora and fauna? To John Er- skine it was second nature. When John was nine, he started snorkeling and seeing the bottoms of pools and lakes. He found the differences underwater intriguing. At twelve he received his junior certi- fication for scuba diving. Scuba stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. With his tank on, John could stay under for up to thirty minutes. After getting certified, John started exploring a quarry in Racine, Wis- consin with a scuba diving group. One winter vacation, John and a group of divers went to f-lawaii in search of an even more exotic underwater exper- ience — tropical waters. This excited John. He felt that anything could happen in the ocean. When he was out one day, an eel bit into his fin. Fearing the eel would bite again, he flipped his fin until the eel let go. John learned that the underwater world is full of risks as well as sights, John didn ' t plan to make scuba diving a profession, because he saw that as taking all the joy out of it. Current- ly, most scuba divers work inspecting supports of offshore oil wells. He wanted to keep scuba diving as a recreation, the greatest adventure he knew. -John Paul Inkmann After clearing the snorkel, John Erskine prepares to dive.

IT JAKES FRESH W@(rifg Aff ( A oing a report or an essay on a certain subject was a part of every student ' s school life. Hobbies were more a part of a student ' s home life. Not often could the two be combined, making both the hobby and the classwork en- joyable. Freshman Mark Wanner was one student who successfully put the two together. He was interested in frogs. I didn ' t just pick right up and start one day. It was over a period of time that I developed an interest, Mark stated. Most of Mark ' s interest involved doing research. He read book after book, spent much time in the library, and tried to learn as much as possibile. He learned about species from other countries as well as native frogs. His most recent work took him to southern Illinois in search of frogs. For his last two vacations he went to Giant City State Park, spending much time there photographing and studying the area ' s species. I tried to catch them, learn the area and see what kinds of marsh land they lived on. Mark said. Mark no longer kept any frogs because their diets were complicated and caring for them took too much time. I enjoy watching them and knowing about them, he said. He also enjoyed reporting about his hobby for such classes as English, and getting good grades for it. -Romy Fitschen A book helps to identify frogs by looks as well as other character- istics.

The Freshmen Class Council has this year. The FCC has been concerned about the freshmen class, but more than that, they have gotten involved in trying to help freshmen, Jenny Demille, for one, thought that most of the fresh- men were not involved enough in school and they needed to know more about OPRF. As president of the Freshman Class Council, she has tried to do something about it. That ' s how the Freshmen Class Council tried to work this year. Before most OPRF students started class in September, the Council had been deciding on and working out the details of pursuing their goals. The biggest goal was to get freshmen more involved; second was to help the school and the community. Some individuals had special goals. I want to represent my class, said co-secretary Julie tvlul- len. Steve Shake said, I want to give A-periods a chance to get involved. Even though the elections were held late this year, the common feeling was that good decisions came from it. It wasn ' t a freshman class popularity contest; it was a pro- cess to find the most concerned representatives who would lead the class responsibly. Some of the credit for this went to Mr. Goodwin, the council ' s adviser. Most of all, though, credit went to the members of the council who showed determination and promise for the years ahead. -John Paul Inkmann From Row: M Brennock. M Davis. P Franklin, C Pollingue, SS.

As a matter of fact, if you didn ' t know these you were probably a bit lost. Another important thing to know was who the administrators were and what they felt about the school. (ylost students knew the administrators ' names. Some knew what their specific jobs were. But few realized how they felt about the school and how that affected the stu- dents ' school lives. The responsibilities of the five administrators varied greatly. The superintendent, Dr. John Swanson, worked closely with the Board of Education. He was the Board ' s key link to the faculty. Overall, he was the school leader called on to define and administer the school ' s policies. His assistant, Robert Ebel, worked with all the new transfer students and with all the staffing of the teachers. The school ' s new business manager was Jonathan Smith. He handled financial matters. This included the annual budget. The principal, Dr. Robert Botthof, was most closely in- volved with the daily running of the school. Then there was the assistant principal, Robert Jensen. He ran the comput- center and worked out class schedules. There were many things that the administrators liked about OPRF. One very important one was the school ' s tradition. I like the tradition of excellence OPRF has, comment- ed Smith. Besides tradition, they all enjoyed the students of today very much. In contrast to the sixties and seventies, the eighties seemed to them to be a stable period of time. They tried to be involved with the students as much as possible. There ' s little change right now, compared to when I first came, said Dr. Botthof. It ' s a beautiful period in time. Dr. Swanson didn ' t have a lot of time to work with the students, but he found it one of his favorite things to do, when he could. The administrators enjoyed not only the school ' s tradi- tion and its students, but the teachers as well. I enjoy the professional quality of the teachers, said Dr. Swanson. We are without equal in terms of faculty. The tradition and feelings about students and teachers, not to mention a family atmosphere among the administra- tors, added up to one thing that helped them. They en- joyed their jobs. To enjoy one ' s job meant doing good work to produce a better school. -Romy Fitschen r MKES AD HNISTRATORS IT WKES AD MINISTRATORS IT MKES AD MINISl John Boshardy Superintendent Dr. Swanson reflects on the meaning of tradition at Oak Park.

The class held its breath. It ' s for him, thank goodness, and not me, the class members thought - all but one of them. He was to go to his dean, immediately. Deans were a part of every student ' s life at OPRF. A few things that a student ' s dean might have handled were picking out schedules, discussing problem classes, and even lending money. A dean didn ' t just listen, he or she counseled, too. Be- ing a counselor doesn ' t mean sitting behind a desk in front of a kid and going ' uh-huh. uh-huh. ' But it means getting involved with your students, said dean Al Ogden. For many students their dean was a good friend. The dean could enjoy the good times, too. If a student made a certain accomplishment, his dean loved to know about it. Said one dean to his student, You have given me an awful lot of hard times, but the few good times have made it all worth it. -Romy Fitschen Dean Knicley helps Carrie HIavacek narrow down her college choices with the aid of Lovejoy ' s College Guide. n 3fia3e:i:ttS9ik.

But anothe rmajor group, which wasn ' t often heard about, was the Department Heads. Each department head in the school was responsible for various tasks. They watched over the teachers in their departments, proposed curriculum changes, dealt with the administration on a regular basis, and, in general, were responsible for the smooth operation of their respective departments. The department heads were also assigned classroom teaching on top of their administrative duties. Department heads were important leaders in the school. They had much influence on educational policy and per- sonnel management. Why would a teacher want to take on such responsibility?

His was just one of the rea- sons teachers mentioned for choosing to be high school teachers at OPRF. Other faculty members liked teaching here because of the broad curriculum, size, atmosphere, and the carefree nature of the students. Most students thought that the faculty included just teachers. But Media Service personnel, the Suspension Supervisor and the Photo Specialist were also faculty members. Whether they were teachers or not, they were all in the business of teaching students. One of the biggest thrills for a teacher was helping students learn and appreciate what they were learning. The best thing about teaching? Well, I think that It ' s getting students to enjoy music and opening their ears to be able to appreciate all kinds of music, said choral director Richard Pekala. Satisfaction seemed to be an important part of a teacher ' s job. To enjoy the students and their learning made them want to teach all the more. -Romy Fitschen -A Lisec John Tulipano Susanne Berg aides Labern Bowling in preparing his experimen- On Freshman Fun Night Tom Graziano takes a granny shot. tal program. 4KES TEKCHEF S IT T4KES TEKCHERS IT WKES TEKCHERS IT PIKES TEN3H Eugene Aimone.

[L (oiir[n]g M w ©pUomogdin] ■O ' T? he educational system in Cuba is a real model for LI involvement and caring, said Judy Kolol off, an XP teacher at OPRF. Kolol off visited Cuba in July, 1981 on a Peace and Friendship Tour sponsored by the U.S. Peace Council. She found tfie Cuban society very concerned for the basic needs of the Cuban people. Cuba seemed to Kolokoff to be a very vibrant and interesting country. In 1961, the Cuban government instituted a program to erase illiteracy and bring all Cubans up to at least a fifth grade reading level. They succeeded and illiteracy has literally been wiped out, Kolokoff said. Teachers and stu- dents volunteered to work teaching the peasants of Cuba, There is a strong sense of being contributing people. It ' s new. This is really a post-revolutionary society, she said. Kolokoff compared the Cuban society to ours in many aspects and found advantages as well as disadvantages. The mechanical ttiings in the country, like cars and plumb- ing, were brought there before the U.S. embargo in 1960. She said, It looked like an art museum. All the cars were from the 50 ' s. The housing shortage is one of Cuba ' s major problems, according to Kolokoff. The Cubans were working on that with three month building programs called Mega-brigades. Volunteers took three months off from their regular jobs and worked constructing public housing, she said. Kolo- koff asked an elderly gentleman waiter why he worked such long hours. He answered that he was filling in for the younger men who were in the Mega-brigade, and this was his way of contributing to the housing effort. Another difference, Kolokoff noted, was in the thriving Cuban educational system. Schools are everywhere in a place where there were no schools. There is no such thing as unemployment of teachers, she said. It ' s very clear that in Cuba, education is a top priority. The Peace and Friendship Tour was comprised of Americans and Canadians, whites and blacks. According to Kolokoff, Some of the blacks in the group felt very comfortable in Cuba, remarking that there was no racial discrimination there. -John Paul Inkmann -John Paul Inkmann Along with ideas, ju n soref ea awma poster of Fidel Castro O li if iVLiO i CP - ntKO U i lXiZO i CH i iCKO . riixt-O i Lr j lERS IT WKES Tl Daniel Reichard.

A few of OPRF ' s faculty mennbers live wilder lives than some stu- dents might think. Lyie Weber, a business teacher, and George Allison, a science teacher, have travelled to the Smokey Mountains, Nova Scotia, and Quebec on their motorcycles. Together with Ray Urbanski, also a science teacher, they braved numerous flat tires and a wreck on a trip to Alaska two summers ago, Being desk bound all day, it ' s nice to get out with nature. You can experience things you never would in a car, said Weber. Not all of those things are enjoyable experiences, however. Last spring he suffered a serious motorcycle accident at an intersection. He said the exper- ience has made him more cautious, especially in heavy traffic situations; but he ' ll always enjoy biking. The trip to Haines Junction, Alaska, taught the three men many motoring and camping skills, and allowed them to meet interesting and friendly people. After camping in a tent through the U.S. and Canada, they took a ferry back to Prince Rupert, Canada, where the paved road began. On the ferry, they met two other bikers: one, a native Alaskan eskimo who had been working on the oil pipe lines, and the other, a high school superintendent from a southern state. They all rode back together. In Alaska, you learn what it ' s like to have no one around you for miles and miles, said Urbanski, It was quite different from what they learned in Oak Park from September to June. -Karen Faust On their trip to Alaska, OPRF ' s Heaven ' s Angels take a break.

Dr. Robert Botthof ' s decision to step down after ten years as Principal came as a great surprise. He announced not only that he was retiring as Principal, but also that he was soon to enter the Dominicans or the Order of Preach- ers to study and train to become a Roman Catholic priest. In a message to the high school staff and friends, Botthof stated, This decision makes it possible for me to place my energies and professional sl ills at the service of the Church and to aspire towards a life wholly consecrated to God. Both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tri- bune ran front page stories on Easter Sunday about Bott- hof ' s decision. Robert Ebel, Assistant Superintendent, had been at OPRF for twenty-nine years. During these years, Ebel saw many changes at OPRF. These changes included physical changes in the building itself and changes in the school program. He felt that one of the things that made OPRF so successful was the community. The community has pro- vided resources which permit us to run a first class opera- tion, he commented. Because of the high quality educa- tion and everything it has to offer. Oak Park is number one, he said. Ebel planned to move to Florida to make the most of his retirement. Mary Lou Nichols of the Physical Education Department had also been at OPRF for twenty-nine years. During these years she felt that the most significant changes for the P.E. Department were P.E. becoming co-ed and girls being allowed to compete at the varsity level. Compared to other high schools. Oak Park ' s P.E. Department is just outstanding, she said proudly. Nichols planned to move to McHenry, and yet still retain ties to OPRF. She planned to continue to substitute teach and coach J.V.

All kids knew about the hard work of the women who served lunch in the cafeteria and of the custodial staff, and a few mischievous students may have been aware of the authority that a hall supervi- sor could have when a student got caught in the halls without a pass. It took a combination of these people and those on some lesser known staffs to keep this school in operating condition. In the cafeteria kitchen, Lorraine Miller was in charge of all the cooking, making sure that the food never ran out for the students. The cafeteria kept its doors open before school, 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th periods, after school, and for night school. But the kitchen staff also provided lots of other food service activities that had nothing to do with the cafeteria. A breakfast was served on different occasions through- out the year for village officials. Refreshments were pro- vided for all of the department and administration meet- ings held in the faculty dining room. On teacher institute days coffee and rolls were sent to 17 different rooms in all areas of the school so that meetings could be held individ- ually for each department. The two biggest events that the competent staff held were the faculty breakfasts at the end of the year serving about 400 faculty and staff members, and a spring dinner held for the Citizens Council. Barbara Dooley, Food Services Director, was very ap- preciative of the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) which met once a week to make suggestions and sometimes taste test different foods. They are a pipeline between the caf and the student body and we value them very highly, she said. The nursing staff, besides providing excellent health care for an average of 60- 1 00 students each day, was also in charge of annual physical examinations, keeping con- stant records of immunizations, and, for the freshmen, administering vision and hearing tests. If a freshman was not able to pass these tests, the nursing staff was respon- sible for following up on the problem. About 60 office aides and secretaries kept the many departments in the school running smoothly. Besides typ- ing and filing, the office personnel worked with computer terminals to help arrange such things as schedules and keep track of college choices. The staff involved with most areas of the school was the custodial and maintenance staff. From the basement to the roof they took care of all and any type of maintenance problem. They set up for all school activities such as plays and basketball games, and cleaned up after them. They controlled lighting, heating and ventilation, and were re- sponsible for maintaining every hallway, locker, class- room, and stairway in the building. Barbara Dooley summed up the attitudes of all of the staff personnel: I ' m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we want the students to enjoy themselves in all areas of the school. -Karen Faust afFS IT MKES SWFS IT MKES ST NFFS IT I4KES ST FFS IT TIKES ST fFS IT 1 Nurses: Mrs Eileen Heneghan (left) Mrs Pat Arnold One of Mrs. Miller ' s many jobs as part of the cafeteria staff is to fill tfie new vending machines.

The shock of the Polish crisis unified people throughout the world in support of Solidarity ' s cause. To show their support, many students wore blue ribbons in recognition of the severe food shortage and other hardships exper- ienced by the Polish people under nnartial law. Locally the Stop Stouffer ' s campaign drew both support and fire from OPRF students and residents in both communities. Despite the demonstrations, Stouffer ' s, a subsidiary of the Nestle corporation, was granted a liquor li- cense. The dampening of dry Oak Park continued at a slow, but steady pace. At the high school, students and teachers spent their time at all kinds of activities throughout the year. From orienting freshmen to congratulating seniors, students kept them- selves busy with clubs, plays, sports, home- work, and parties of varying kinds. From choosing classes to choosing colleges or ca- reers, the year meant many decisions for ev- eryone. Deans and faculty made important contributions to the education and future of OPRF students no matter what field they were headed for after graduation. Sporting their team jackets, OPRF ' s ath- letes identified themselves with all kinds of school and non-school sponsored teams. Football and basketball, the reigning favorites, were closely followed by the growing interest in soccer among many students, both fans and participants. But, interests did not stop there. Numerous other sports caught the at- tention of athletics, including sporting faculty members. The Great Break game pitted Chi- cago ' s pros against OPRF ' s own. More than ever, 1981-1982 saw all kinds of students join all kinds of clubs. Some 35 clubs gave groups of people with specific common One characteristic of French teacher Robert Meute was his passion for hippos. Other teachers had their own collections of odd objects. During a track meet on a hot day. runners find all l inds of innovative ways to shade themselves between races. Ross Brown Acting gave students such as Angela DeWeese a chance to play out the lives of all kinds of characters. Andy Mead discovers that all is fair in love and snowball fights as Paul Bergstraser pushes his head down in the snow. Checking through all kinds of plays, a drama student looks for a cutting to perform in class. Closing 295 1 interests a place to meet and talk and create. If there wasn ' t some kind of group to interest you in school, there were all kinds of opportu- nities in the surrounding communities. Stu- dents were involved in train clubs, danceR- troupes, archaeology digs, and numerous oth er area activities. Popular major events continued to be the traditional dances: Prom, Homecoming, and King of Hearts. Afterwards, couples found all kinds of interesting things to do, from dining at fancy restaurants to finding adventure at the Dunes. Whether you were a freshman or a senior, by the end of the year you had distinguished yourself by the activities you had participated in, the decisions you had made, and by the people you had spent your spare time with. OPRF collected high school students of four kinds at the beginning of the year, and at its end, students of all kinds left its doors to follow their own paths.
